Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 17 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Suzy16 Warm, dry feet Perfect boot for sloppy weather. These boots slip on and off easily. Perfect boot to walk my dogs in rain, mud, and slush. My feet stay warm and dry and I don't slip when the dogs pull me. Love them. January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Oreo This product Is great for around the home like the shallow tread pattern easily cleans up I was looking for a easy slip on boot that wouldn't pick up much mud and easily cleans up with a hose or brush the scrub boot is just the boot to have. It wouldn't be my choice for hunting or barnyard work muck has much has other boots that would be great for that. More grip insulated etc. but if you want a slip on to do gardening wash the car everyday yard work srub is my choice January 11, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by RaymondJ if you care to muck well then muck in these was fortunate enough to get these while on sale so my rating is based off the sale price. That said these are simply great to muck around in. Easy on and easy off, not too heavy and very comfortable with just your every day type of sock. And as long as you actually clean them, inside and out, the funky smell shouldn't get too bad after awhile because your feet don't breathe too well in these when you're keeping up a good pace while outside in average temps. Note that I don't believe they have half sizes so I rounded up figuring I could use a more beefy sock if and when necessary. October 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by TomG Excellent Boot! Great boot to wear in the wet and ugly weather...keeps your feet dry, slips on and off your foot with ease and looks great on. I highly recommend this product! October 29, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Will Very comfortable and received them in the mail in a couple of days Very happy with my purchase so far, tried them on and they fit well. I have not had a chance to use in the surf, rain, or snow. I can say the build on quality. I'l update after a few uses. October 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by lroy Muck Scrub Boots Purchased and received as shown.. good price and received in couple days of ordering October 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by PS Muck Scrub Boots Had a pair of these boots that lasted for years but finaly gave out. Glad they still sell the exact boot. Best feature is the ease these slip on/off, great protection from water, good tread, excellent when working in the garden/dirt. October 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by dusty love the boots Bought the muck boots for a gift. This is his second pair. Had the first pair for 3 yrs. and he loves them, but wore them out. Loves them.. June 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by PhilB Scrub Boots This is my first pair of Scrub Boots and the thing I noticed immediately was how comfortable they are. We have had a lot of snow, ice and then rain so our pastures are really "mucky". Right after getting them I walked my property with my dog and I really loved them. Cost more than any boots like this that I have ever had but I believe they are worth it. I can't wait to get them in the garden. March 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Johnny53 Muck Boots Boots were to replace a pair that I had worn for several years. They got a small rip in the top and were no longer waterproof. Very happy with the quality of these boots! January 3, 2015

Youth policy advisory missions
A government wishing to receive advice concerning a specific or several aspects of its youth policy (consult the Guidelines for the implementation of the international reviews of national youth policies) may contact the Directorate of Youth and Sport, in order to discuss the possibilities and conditions for the organisation of a youth policy advisory mission. According to the youth policy area or issue for which the government is seeking advice, the Directorate of Youth and Sport will recruit adequate experts and arrange a visit to the country. As a result of the youth policy advisory mission, a report is prepared for the attention of the government, including notably recommendations, guidelines and suggestions for further support measures (if necessary). Reports of youth policy advisory missions can also be available for other governments.
Summer University 2013 – Slovak Republic >> presentation and programme
Every year, on the invitation of a member state's government, the CDEJ organises a Summer University aiming to provide members of the CDEJ and Advisory Council (notably new members) with a learning experience, which is likely to improve their interest and capacity to actively participate in the work of the Council of Europe's youth sector, particularly in its co-management structures. The objectives of the Summer Universities are:
Since 2005, Summer Universities have been organised in Armenia, Slovenia, Czech-Republic, Germany, Azerbaijan, Serbia, Belgium and Georgia.
Youth information Council of Europe & ERYICA
Partnership between the Council of Europe and the European Youth Information and Counselling Agency (ERYICA)
In 1997, the Council of Europe (youth sector) and the European Youth Information and counselling Agency (ERYICA) signed a partnership agreement in order to develop European co-operation in the field of youth information and counselling.
The aims of the partnership are:
In order to achieve these aims, a Joint Co-ordinating Committee was established with the following composition: three representatives of the CDEJ, three representatives of ERYICA and one representative of the Advisory Council on Youth
The Joint Co-ordinating Committee is responsible for drawing up and supervising the annual programme of the partnership.
The programme of activities of the partnership includes one or two annual meetings of the Joint Co-ordination Committee, at least one annual activity bringing together different actors (practitioners and policy-makers) from the youth information domain (colloquy, seminar, training course, etc.), the realisation of studies and publications.

Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers on youth information (pending adoption)
Child participation is one of the three thematic pillars of the Strategy 2009 – 2011 for the Council of Europe programme "Building a Europe for and with children". In addition to the objectives set for the work on child participation in the Strategy, the actions in this area have been built upon the experience of the Directorate of Youth and Sport (youth sector) in the field of youth participation and citizenship, including its long practice of co-management between governments and youth organisations. The Co-operation between the children's programme and the Directorate of Youth and Sport has also been reinforced as a result of the 8th Council of Europe Conference of Ministers responsible for youth (2008) and linked to it, by the Resolution (2008) 23 on the youth policy of the Council of Europe, which stresses the importance of co-operation and co-ordination between child- and youth-related activities in the Council of Europe.
Against this background, a Roadmap for Council of Europe actions on participation of children and young people under the age of 18 was devised in early 2009 and an Ad hoc Advisory Group on child and youth participation was established under the co-management structures of the Directorate of Youth and Sport. According to the Terms of Reference adopted by the Committee of Ministers, one of the main tasks of the Advisory Group is to develop a methodological framework for national policy reviews in the field of child and youth participation in pilot countries, support the work done in the participating countries and conduct the work on Council of Europe guidelines for child and youth participation.
Work on specific youth policy-related topics
The European Portfolio for youth leaders and youth workers is an initiative of the Council of Europe.
It has been developed as a concrete illustration of the commitment of the governments of the member states of this Organisation to promote the recognition of non-formal education and learning of young people, and of competences acquired in this framework through the practice of youth work.
The portfolio has been designed from the experience and practice of the Council of Europe in the youth field since the early Seventies, and particularly in the area of youth leader and youth worker training.
During almost 40 years, the Council of Europe's youth sector has developed a wide range of training courses for youth leaders, multipliers, young democratic leaders involved in different areas of public life, young researchers, and civil servants from across Europe.
These courses cover a large range of subjects, including organising international activities, working in international youth structures, international youth co-operation, human rights education, conflict management, youth participation, citizenship and many other topics.
In this context, the Council of Europe has also developed numerous innovative educational and training tools and research work, for example on young people, non-formal education and learning, youth work and associative life, and has elaborated criteria and quality standards for youth work and youth policy.
The aims of the portfolio are to identify, assess and record competences as youth leaders and youth workers, to describe them to others and to set learning objectives and development goals.
On line resources
Conferences of Ministers responsible for youth
(Access to presentations and documents)
Conferences of specialised Ministers are an important instrument of intergovernmental co-operation as they provide Ministers with an opportunity to meet on a regular basis in order to discuss topical policy issues and develop orientations for the work of Council of Europe.
In the youth field, such conferences are also organised every three or four years and bring together Ministers responsible for youth from the 50 States Parties to the European Cultural Convention as well as different organisations and bodies involved in youth issues.
One specific feature of the Council of Europe conferences of Ministers responsible for youth is that they actively involve youth organisations both in the prepartion of the conferences and in the discussions during the conferences.
Prior to each conference, a youth event is organised, bringing together youth NGO representatives and the youth representatives who participate in the conference as part of the national delegations.
The results of the youth event are presented at the opening session of the conference. The final Declaration adopted at the end of the conference is submitted to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, who decides on the follow up to be implemented by the CDEJ.

The Council of Europe quality label for youth centres
Promoting Council of Europe values, youth policy and youth work standards in Europe
The Council of Europe Quality Label for Youth Centres is an opportunity for youth centres with a structured relationship to a public authority to benefit from the Council of Europe's approach to youth work and youth policy.
It offers residential, educational youth centres a framework within which to develop the quality of their offer to young people and the youth sector at their own pace.
The European Platform of Youth Centres will ensure networking among centres recognised with the quality label and those aspiring to its acquisition. It meets once per year and develops exchange and knowledge sharing among the centres associated to the Council of Europe.

Pardon me Wu De for posting here in your original post.
Moderator comment. Per rule #4 of TeawareArtisans Guidelines, I have invited Wu De to particpate in this subforum,
normally reserved for makers of teaware. I hope you agree that his works are a great compliment to TeawareArtisans.
I bid you welcome, Wu De!
My Chinese name is Wu Wei Hai (無為海), but my friends all call me Wu De (無的). Though I use it so little, those of you who have heard of me, would know my English name, Aaron Fisher.
"Wu Wei Hai", literally means "Ocean of Emptiness" and is signed on all of my pieces as a reference to the very special way in which I approach my art. It is my opinion that true art has always meant more than entertainment or decoration. Art is that special place in us where we meet the world around us without any intermediate, nothing to confuse or cloud our communication with Existence. Through an artist, the world is channeled and pulled back out onto itself, carrying some of the artist with it on its way. Like water running through a wet cloth, our experiences flow through us and come out dyed the reds, yellows and blues of our soul. Art is that journey, as is tea.
Years of meditation and focus have allowed me the ability to quiet my mind, at times. And it is only when my mind is balanced on that equanimity, like a poised crane effortlessly circling above an ocean of silence, that I ever even pick up my brush. This is what the ancient sages called "wu wei", or action-less action. It is the ripples on the surface of an ocean that is ever so calm, endlessly so, just beneath its thin surface—a sea we all drift on. And that's why I always sign my paintings 'Wu Wei Hai' (Ocean of Nothingness). Of course, these are but my goals and I'm not always successful in fulfilling them. If you do find some peace in my art, however, remember that this stillness is the real artist, not me.
I try to only paint when I am calm, and almost always after a tea session, ever-attempting to channel some of the Respect, Humilty, Purity and Tranquility I practice onto the paper to help inspire others. I also try to let the tea have its way with the brush as much as possible. You might say that my paintings are stained by some great teas as well.
My pieces have been featured in various magazines and books, as well as my own. Many can be viewed at: http://www.the-leaf.org/Photos%20&%20Art.htm
Some are also on display in various tea houses around the world, and depending on your location, you may be able to go see some examples in person.
I plan to display some that will be exclusive to this site and its readers. I am very grateful to this community for allowing me the opportunity to help spread Cha Dao through my artwork.
May your every steeping
Be scooped from the Source
Boiled of impurities
Steeped in the Self
And taste of Morning Dew

Topic: Best way to structure a database for a large/static dataset
I'm a rails newbie and am looking to create an app to work off a very large dataset. The dataset contains survey data from 1980 through 2011 for about 8,000 respondents. Each year's survey has between 900 and 7000 variable associated with it.
Basically, the app will be used to view all information for one respondent (seeing all the years at a glance), compare respondents, etc.
It seems like creating a table for each year isn't necessarily the best strategy. What would be a good way to structure this data for the database? I've considered just having a table that's basically the respondent ID, survey year, variable name, and value name. The difficulty there is that the values would range from simple boolean fields to fields with extensive amounts of text, so standardizing that field would be tricky (and probably very inefficient).
Any thoughts/tips/resources on where to turn?
Thanks in advance.

The Campbell County Bank completed 2012 in a strong position, which reflects the area's agricultural economy, according to President/CEO Dean Schwartz of Herreid. Year-end numbers show the bank's assets increased to $108,873,000, and a loan volume of $53,645,000. The bank's capital increased to $13,922,000 compared with $12,920,000 the previous year. In comparison, 10 years ago capital totaled $6,410,000. Schwartz said it is important to borrowers, especially farmers and ranchers whose credit needs are increasing, for the bank to be strong with growing capital.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (608 votes).
In short: ChaoticIn full: Echo comments made by others - water stations running out, had to pay to use the toilet on route, despite getting to the start early it still took just under an hour to cross. Have sent a letter detailing my complaints and received no reply. Date of review: August 8, 2009
In short: A great first time raceIn full: This was my first ever race having started running seriously about 9 months ago at 54! Ran 58:30 (pb is 56:30) running a bit conservatively as quite hot and had walked 8 miles the previous day - not a good example of tapering! Should have used the Green Park toilets mentioned by Mohammed but keen to get near the front - as a result very slightly underhydrated. Crossed start line 28 seconds after gun so did not have a problem with slower runners or water runnnig out. Wife able to see me from near Embankment twice. Will do again next year (aiming for sub 55:00) and get there even earlier with a visit to Green Park toilets before going back to join the queue at the entrance to Piccadilly. Have registered an intrerest in the organisers Half Marathon in March 2010.Date of review: August 4, 2009
In short: Worth doing ...if you can get there really early.In full: I must have been one of the last few entrants for this event, but I'm pleased that I did it and will enter next year. NEGATIVES: The two tube lines I needed to get to the event were both out of action! Obviously this is not the organiser's fault, but I do hope that they bear transport problems in mind for future events. The lack of toilets at Piccadilly for over 20000 runners was a disaster, couldn't wait around to use them. However, I was fortunate to spot that the toilets at Green Park Station were open, so used them instead (NO WAITING for those!). I will try and get there earlier next year, as I had to wait 1hr to get to the start line. The water stations ran out of water, even though I had already overtaken several thousand runners ...NOT GOOD! Some tight corners caused congestion, lost 3-5 mins in trying to overtake slower or group runners.POSITIVES: The scenery of many landmarks is enough to keep you going, even when you're tired. There were lots of spectators giving plenty of encouragement, particularly at Westminster. The finish line was wide, so no possibility of congestion there. The walk back to the baggage area was long, but actually needed as a warm-down (well done there organisers!). The baggage area was secure and staff were friendly & efficient. Goody bag & medal: The bag itself was an Asics branded plastic gym bag. There was a Gatorade energy drink, an energy bar and ofcourse the 15% voucher at the Asics store (in the race programme). The entry pack included a good quality white t-shirt as a memento with the event name and year on it. The medal had the event name, year and Asics brand on it. The ribbon holding the medal was branded with the same details and the Union Flag too.Date of review: August 1, 2009
In short: Good race spoilt by poor organisationIn full: The start was very slow with no staged starts so I spent the first few minutes dodging slower runners. Still I managed to get a PB nonethelessDate of review: July 29, 2009
In short: goodDate of review: July 21, 2009
In short: Great way to see London without running the marathon!In full: Bit of a long wait at the start, not enough loos (the trees in Green Park an exposing alternative)and running out of water at mile 5 was slack. Music uplifting though and amazing London views.Date of review: July 18, 2009
In short: Could have been better organisedIn full: I think starting with the BUPA 10KM spoilt me, the start took forever to kick off, information was brief and there wasn't a lot of signs for things. They ran out of water!!! so only water stop was gaterade at 5km... taught me a lesson, will run with own water!Date of review: July 18, 2009
In short: Oops just seen this is the british and not the bristolIn full: well that explains why I couldnt understand why clev trev had run it four times.My mistake lolDate of review: July 17, 2009
In short: Great Race. Needed more than 1 water stop thoughIn full: Well how "clev trev" has run this four years in a row when its only the second year it has been running I'll never understand. May be he means the Half marathon!Good race. Well organised. Needed more water stops as the number that there were on the literature provided was less than on the day. I look forward to breaking my 46.12 next year. Always a lovely flat runDate of review: July 17, 2009
In short: Note to organisers - PLEASE LISTENIn full: This is the fourth time I have competed in this event. I think it has potential to be truly spectacular - if only the organisers would listen to negative comments from so many participants. But they do not. Every year I read the same comments - which I completely agree with. Please, please get your act sorted out and give this event the high profile and status it could have.Date of review: July 17, 2009

Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese
Recipe courtesy of Emily Hobbs
- 3/4 pound applewood smoked bacon
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins
- 1/2 cup beer
- 1 pound dry elbow macaroni
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons, plus more for baking dish
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus 1 cup
- 3 cups whole milk, plus 2 tablespoons
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups grated white Cheddar, divided
- 3 cups grated mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup hot sauce (recommended: Frank's Red Hot)
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- Sliced carrots and celery, for serving
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat bottom and sides of a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with butter.
Arrange the bacon on an aluminum foil lined sheet pan and bake until crisp, about 22 minutes. Allow to cool and coarsely chop.
Put the chicken and beer in a large bowl and let marinate, at room temperature, for 20 minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the macaroni and cook stirring occasionally, until cooked al dente, about 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and reserve in a large pot or mixing bowl.
Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; whisk in the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden. Whisk in 1/3 cup flour and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Whisk in 3 cups milk, the salt and the pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Add 2 cups of the Cheddar and 2 cups of the mozzarella (reserving additional cheese for topping) and stir until melted, about 2 minutes.
Stir the cheese sauce, blue cheese and bacon into the macaroni until well combined; pour evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface.
Put the remaining 1 cup of flour in a medium-sized shallow mixing bowl. In another medium-sized shallow mixing bowl, add the remaining 2 tablespoons milk and the egg and whisk until combined. Drain the beer from the chicken tenderloins and dip into the flour to coat well, then dip into the egg mixture and back into the flour. Put on a plate until ready to fry.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Working in 2 batches, fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain. Add the chicken and hot sauce to a large bowl and toss until well coated. Carefully slice the chicken into bite-sized strips. (Avoid knocking off the batter).
Evenly top the macaroni with the sliced chicken, and drizzle with additional hot sauce, if desired. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of white Cheddar and the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top of the chicken and sprinkle with the panko bread crumbs. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and drizzle it evenly over the bread crumbs. Bake at 400 degrees F until golden brown and bubbly, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve with celery and carrot sticks, if desired.

Vick Protests in New York City
About an hour ago, PETA campaigners and activists converged on NFL HQ in New York to urge Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL to suspend Michael Vick in light of his recent indictment for alleged involvement in the horrific cruelty associated with dogfighting—including allegations that he was killing dogs by hanging, slamming them to the ground, drowning, and electrocuting them. Surrounded by reporters and TV news crews, more than 75 activists lined the streets in front of the NFL building, holding signs reading "NFL: Sack Vick," handing out stickers and leaflets to passersby, and making it abundantly clear—just in case Goodell hasn't figured it out yet—that the NFL's weak response to Vick's case is unacceptable.
The massive turnout at this demonstration should be indication enough to Goodell that his decision to allow Vick to play in spite of these disturbing charges is going to be a major PR headache for the NFL, to say the least. Here's what PETA President Ingrid Newkirk had to say about the NFL's "wait and see" attitude in a statement to the media yesterday:
"Forget that unless space aliens were on Vick's property putting up an invisibility shield, it is impossible that Vick didn't know (let alone sponsor a fighting dog), that the house he built included designs for dog training facilities and that his relatives were fighting, kenneling, training, housing training equipment, and killing dogs there. There was a time when people under fire for corruption let alone criminal cruelty, resigned. That honorable moment has passed because of the Almighty Dollar. If he won't do the right thing by stepping down until this is resolved (and I'll put a sporting bet on his conviction), the NFL should suspend him. Is the new America only about money or do we still cling to some values? In the courts he may be innocent until proven guilty, and that's fair and fine, but in professional or political life, we have to have a higher standard than "hey, keep raking it in until we see if he gets off."
The protest was covered on ESPN, and you can watch an interview with PETA's own Dan Shannon that took place during the demonstration here.
I'll let you know as soon as there's more news, but in the meantime, you may want to get your very own "Sack Vick" T-shirt. Love it.
Commenting is closed.
I am trying to figure out how the NFL has a fan conduct law that can get you barred for life for drinking a beer at a game under there Family values yet they reinstate Vick???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Dear Roger Goodell What a coward you are. Money that is all you think about!! Just how did Vick make real progress?? Maybe a pit bull will bite Vick on the leg or better yet both hands. Did those dogs that were killed by Vick get a second chance ?? No they didn't and Vick doesn't deserve a second chance!
Vick has not donated one cent to the rehabilitation of his animals tax payers and charities are financing this treatment 100. Vick has also shown no intention of doing so he expects us to pay for his multimillionaire salary by supporting his team and his sponsors and to foot the entire cost of his animals rehabilitation at the same time. If Vick even had a nagging feeling that what he did to these dogs was wrong he'd be donation a large portion of the 15 million dollars he just signed for to their treatment and care. Instead he doesn't feel they are worth 1 cent of his money now that he can't abuse them.
Only a few of Michael Vick's dogs have been healed to the point where they can be adopted why should Vick be given a second chance before the dogs he cruely abused be given the first chance he intentionally stole from them? The kids have to be involved in this because Vick is choosing to work in a field where is a role model to children. His very presence there teaches every child who watches NFL beyond any possible doubt that you can abuse animals all you want lie about all you want and still be held in high regard as a role model whats the point of following the law treating animals with respect or telling the truth if Vick didn't do any of that and is still held up as a great role model by the NFL and his sponsors? By hiring Vick the Eagles are telling the children "Animal abuse is Aok by us. Break any law you want for as long as you want it doesn't matter because you will be given a second chance immediately if you are caught" That is the message we are sending to children by not demanding Vicks prohibition.
Please inform the NFL and the Atlanta Falcons that my husband and I will never watch a game that Michael Vick is a part of. His apology today is only because he got caught. He showed up in his neat and no doubt expensive suit while the dogs on his property not his home by the way burn up in the southern states. Hopefully our comments along with thousands of others will have some voice for the dogs. Granny
I'm amazed that Nike would allow sadistic savages like Vick to promote their goods. I and my family will never buy their products again.
Dear Sirs M.Vick needs to be permanently suspended from the NFL. He's a bad example to our children a truly evil man. He had no "mercy" on his dogs who "lost" we should have no "mercy" on him or his career. He knew what he was doing was wrong he blew it.
I dont even know where to start! I agree with all the above. Alanta you need to stand up and not allow this disgusting devil to play! Stand up for those you cannot speak for those who are helpless in this country! Attend his trials picket his games and let him know WE THE PEOPLE will not stand for this behavior. I for one will be at those games with a bright neon sign and Im not from Atlanta nor do I own a pet. But I will fight this as I fight childinfant abuse!
M Vick What A P O S I say how about like treatment. I would love to be the one to swing the bat to break his leg or maybe just put his sorry ass in a sack and drown him. Better yet haw about lethal injection that sure is more humane than what he did to those dogs.
Where have you people been?.Organized Dog Fighting has been going on for over 100 years in this country and your just now getting angry?.It is the ASPCA that is also trying to prosicute Vicks and I do hope they do.It is not because he is black or loadedthe man has no reguard for the life of these poor animals nor the law.i hope he pays the price if he is guilty.I am a member of the ASPCA and HSUS and her where I live dog fighting is a problem.The law needs to be enforced to stop the problem.Lets all hope that this incident will help other animals across the country.
I sent this letter to Roger Goodell NFL Commissioner and Arthur Blank as a cc and to Ann Powell of Beckett Media and Nike to thank them for suspending Michael Vick's contract without pay while the case is still pending. I encourage others to do the same. Dear Mr. Werner I would like to personally thank the owner Ann Powell for removing Vick related merchandise from your inventory. While I realize that he has not been convicted the disturbing allegations and nineteen page indictment make it difficult to deny Michael Vick was involved in what he is accused of. To what extent remains to be seen but I commend Ann Powell for not letting profit cloud her decision in taking a stance against those who commit animal cruelty. As the daughter of an attorney the feds when they indict someone do so only if they feel they have a strong case and that person is responsible for the crimes committed which is why they have a high conviction rate. Given that Michael Vick was a homeowner of the Moonlight Road property regardless of what his ex coach and others who know him might attest about his kind quiet nature as a social work student I have studied learned about and worked with many sociopaths and murderers who act and appear to be the "nice guy" and do unthinkable and incomprehensible acts. This is why I am pleased to see that Nike Reebok and Beckett Media are taking a firm stand. I hope that the NFL and others will follow suit and suspend Michael Vick without pay while his case is pending. Sincerely
I am deepley sadden of the pain and suffering of all the innocent dogs who were subjected to this cruel and inhumane activity. Micheal Vick should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Blow me Brandon! Have you even read the case against Vick? Obviously not. If your really this stupid you must either be under 10 years old and stole mommy's computer or you are mentally retarded. Grow up kid and smell the roses!
Michael Vick is a scum bag! I say we string him up and light his piddly ass on fire like he did to those poor dogs! What a POS!!! I hope he dies soon!
It's quite fortunate that you have a bete noir pun intended in Mike VIc given that you lames at PETA do next to nothing against any of the major cos who actually are killing animals and whose stock values increase based on their efficiency in doing so. Mike Vic was never seen any where near the "alleged" that word you lames use when ever ur talking about one of BushCheneyBlairSharon's documented crimesvideo taped crimes but seem to forget when condemning your little safe scapegoats dog fighting operation…nor was he even seen near the premises. And for you idiots spoiled rich white trust fund babies looking for something to rage against that wont get your head bashed in by the riot squad like say protesting the war will do that say how can his name be on a deedlease and him never go to the house you idiots obviously dont know a damn thing about being broke and having to lean on a wealthier or better credit having relative to cosign in order for you to get a breakloanacceptance letter for a rentalhome purchase. Honestly aside from the usual "beast inhuman savage etc" crap that you all used to shout and whoop when your granddaddies used to go lynch one of those uppity negroes or other assorted untermenshcen according to your grandfather's of course depending on the countries you lame limo liberal losers came from what proof or remote connection do you have he was involved? What do you have connecting him to any dog fighting activities you idiots? Oh yeah he loves and supports dog fights but never goes to watch the training or even the fighting of the dogs he supposedly owns…give me a break…I'm going to go put a peta shirt on a scottish terrier or lab cause you llbean reading latte liberals around ny seem to all have one of these when your not out with your adopted asian or african accessories oops babies and kick it in the face…ill post it on you tube and link it to the site just for you
Wow Can America be divided any other way. RaceTerritoryReligionFor And Against Convicted ATHLETES?!?!. Point is Just wait. JUST WAIT!!!. See if he's innocent or not. Don't be judgemental. EITHER WAY. Don't just automatically assume he's innocent. And please don't automatically assume he's guilty. I won't place my opinion about how I feel about the guy until I know the verdict. Yeah we're states..but we're DEFINATELY not United.
BRANDON WOODS please educate yourself about animal advocacy before you and some others keep displayng your lack of intelligence. Animal advocacy encompassses the humananimalenvironmentalsocietal relationship. If you can understand that ALL life and our environment is interrelated then you will get at least that much of a quick drift about animal advocacy…and how it all works together…and how we do in fact try to protect other humans and society from vicious culprits or sociopaths within our realm. IF you were aware of what we do YOU would be very surprised as to how we affected YOUR very own health and life for the better. Now let me give you an example pertaining to your complaint about us already "convicting" Vick. If you own a car and the police found drug paraphenalia in your car because one of your passengers left it there and even though you never touched drugs in your life guess who would be held legallycriminally responsible for that drug paraphenalia? YOU would! So the evidence was found on Vick's property. That makes him legallycriminally responsible whether he participated or not. He would have to had been in a coma or another planet in order not to have any knowledge about it. Now may I ask you what do you do for human rights? And how would you go about telling Bush to stop having sons and daughters being killed in the war? And do you have any other priorities besides trying to be nasty?
Brandon Woods the reason PETA is working on animal rights is right there in the "A" just to connect the dots for you A is for ANIMALS!. It is NOT "PETH" People for the Ethical Treatment of Humans. This. Is. An. Animal. Rights. Organization. You. Twit! The reason such an organization needs to exist is because of people like you and many other losers on this site who clearly don't care about how animals are treated. I can guarantee you that EVERY staff member at PETA would be happy to be out of a job if it meant that animals around the world were no longer in need of protection.
Brandon Woods First off you spelled "Entirely" wrong. The way I see it we don't need to hear his side of the story as we have witnesses and solid proof. I find it hard to believe that he had all those dogs and equipment and was doing nothing with them. As for you comment about horse racing did you not see the post a few months back about Barbaro's death? Actually I think there were a few about him. If you ever go the the PETA official website they assert their position on horse racing very clearly. As to why we don't stand up for human issues This is PETA. People for the Ethical Treatment of ANIMALS. Not humans. Not to say we don't care. You can be in PETA and a human rights organization at the same time. It's not illegal. Soldiers in Iraq at least have some inkling of what they were getting into. The dogs that are forced to fight do not know what will happen to them and have absolutely no choice in the matter. Humans can speak up for themselves. Animals have no voice.
you are right on target with whats wrong with this country… yes what vick did if found guilty is pathetic and unacceptable in today's world… but on this website where animal rights is always put in front of human's and in todays press…. how amazing is it that the death of these dogs get top billing over the deaths of ANY SOLDIER IN THIS ASSININE WAR… WHAT IS WRONG WITH TODAY'S PRIORITIES???????????
I know you won't post this but…if you all was god fearing people..how in this world could you convict this man without due process. I really feel sorry for you all becacuse it dosen't make sense to convict him and you all haven't really heard his side of the story also let me ask this question. Where do you all be when horse racing go on and the horse breaks it's leg and the owner puts the animal to sleep. To me and alot of people PETA stands for People Entirley Totally Assholes Why don't y'all stand up for human rights ?..Bush got sons and daughters being killed everyday but these dogs will make headlines more than that. Y'all priority is screwed up.
Let's get real people it was just animals! I wish you all cared for other people just as much as you cared for an animal. You all are asking this man to have his whole life thrown away and it's not going to bring the animals back. This is ridiculous. When Scooter Libby was given a get out of jail free card no one protested that…Let's get life's priorities in order. It was an animal yes it can't speak for itself but when you pass by a homeless person on the street do you try to save them or do you give them $1? How dare you ask this man to be fired from his job that's all he knows that's his lively hood….Get Real

Wish I could have been there. Thank you to all those who were able to attend. SHAME SHAME SHAME on the BARBARIC VICK.
My 12yearold son just said he knows what he can be for Halloween… he said he can wear his Michael Vick jersey and "be a retard"!
Michael Vick is the epitome of everything that is wrong with this country. As someone who probably came from nothing or damn near nothing I question the intelligence of people who become proathletes anyway Vick was pretty much handed everything on a silver platter and like clockwork he has managed to squander and ruin it all. I am ashamed to say i ever watched an NFL game….we should stop glorifying these over privileged fkups.
Just wanted to know if there is going to be any protest in richmond on thursday????I would love to join.
TROY you my friend are a real JOKE VICK is a bum he has all this money and breaks the law and you as a law person say the man isnt guilty yet. well ok then TROY what was all the dog fighting equiptment for maybe he was running on those treadmills. Your a fool he will be found guilty but the question is how big of a penalty should he get. I say a life ban or better yet lets make Vick fight a mad starving Pit Bull and see the outcome. By the way this is a animal group they could care less about Sudan. As far as the black and white issue go get a life man no matter who it was there is no need for this in sports. COLOR is the way every black person tries to make things. Color has nothing to do with it and just so you know before you even respond stupid i'm not white….
Vick is another perfect example that you can take the kid out of the ghetto but you cant take the ghetto out of the kid. I hope he goes to jail. Maybe they should make him fight one of those poor abused pitbulls. I have 2 Pits they are the most loyal dogs in the worl and i never for 1 second would ever think of fighting them. I have a 2 year old son who chases them around the house and they never even think of doing any harm to him. The people in this world who train these wonderful animals to do bad things should all be punished. I wish I could be there protesting with all the PETA folks I respect everything you guys do. SACK VICK and if the NFL doesnt do more then they will lose my business.
If it was Tom Brady Peyton Manning Matt Hasselbeck whoever and the indictment had the EXACT same info as Vick's? YES I would be just as quick to condemn! I also want to point out that Vick has become the public face of a much larger problem. Yes we want Vick suspended but frankly no one cared about dogfighting until someone FAMOUS black or white doesn't matter became tied to it. It is not enough for Vick to be suspended prosecuted etc. We want ALL dogfighters to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And for all of you who keep saying "They're just dogs" I really can't think of anything to say to you. Wait yes I can…what did a dog EVER do to you to earn such contempt?
So Troy Are you out protesting against the genocide or anything else? Nah didn't think so. BTW is there ANY possible way that we can post an online dictionary for people like Troy? BTW Troy race is not an issue here it's cruelty that's the issue.
You folks at PETA are idiots and probably RACISTS! The man hasn't even been convicted yet and you're already calling for him to be locked away! He was indicted not found guilty of a crime. I'm a law enforcement officer and it's not hard to get an indictment. Evidence can be circumstantial at best and you'll get an indictment. During a grand jury they only here what the so called evidence is against the accused and the jury typically renders an indictment. Before you people get in an uproar calling for him to loose his job and have his endorsement deals taken away wait until all of the facts are presented during the trial then you'll see if the evidence against him will standup. Also there are so many other things to be protesting about in this world……for instance the genocide that's taking place in the Sudan! Finally if this were a white athlete like Tom Brady would you condemn him from jump or wait for a verdict of guilt or innocence.
I just called the Nike 1800 number this morning to say my family would not be purchasing any more Nike products do to their relationship with Michael Vick. I was told that Nike is no longer selling any of his products on their website but it could not control retailers to pull his products off their shelves. Keep up the boycott!! It's unfortunate that with all the money Vick has been given it has been able to buy him class integrity or good sense.
I would like to see protest like this for drug and crime infested neighborhoods. I would like to see the same compasion for animal rights carried over to issues dealing with human rights.
After what has happened to the Duke players i would hope the Falcons and the NFL reserve action until Vick has had his day in court. Is he guilty? Probably he still deserves his right to due process like everyone else. Rick Rambis

Fall 2001
Volume 6 Number 1
I think that I shall never see…
It was one of those days: two midterm exams in a row, and to top it off, both were in the same classroom. I was in my first year at Princeton and very anxious about taking my first graduate exams. Between exams, I decided to forgo lunch and remain in the classroom to do some extra studying. It was tedious studying for church history; names, dates, and places started to run together in my mind as I crammed in the large, empty room. My mind and eyes began to wander…and I let them go. I took in the autumn scenery of the campus. The ivy walls, lunchtime voices, and treasure chest of autumn trees took me from my notebook and to the large windows. As I surveyed the Princeton landscape, I noticed one golden maple tree in particular. It was perfect. Each golden leaf was brighter than the next, and together they created a solid ball of autumn gold. I quickly searched the campus for a more beautiful tree, but could not find one that measured up to that golden maple. I stood at the window admiring God's handiwork, wishing I had felt so at ease during my first exam. Then a smile slowly spread across my face, which quickly turned into laughter.
"That's my tree!" I said. "It's in my backyard!" My voice echoed through the classroom. The golden maple was in the backyard of my apartment on Alexander Street, about a block away. It was my tree!
I felt great, ready to take whatever exam the professor threw at me. I turned to go back to my seat in the empty classroom—which was no longer empty. Five classmates were staring at me. But I walked back to my chair with a smile on my face and confidence in my step, not caring what they thought of me—because I had the most beautiful golden maple tree in Princeton right in my own backyard.

OK, let's try this again, with just a few ground rules. The first topic contained some very good information, but had proven to be easily derailed. It is a sensitive topic and one that evokes emotions.
The previous topic is locked and unstickied, however it is still in the Green Tea forum and available to read.
Also note, I have not pointed a finger of blame at anyone, so please don't go there. Let's just move on. Thanks.
Take a deep breath and have a cup of sencha before posting. This topic is focused positively on Japanese tea. If you are reading this topic, I think you want to drink and enjoy Japanese tea.
Keep posts relevent to the topic and as factual as possible.
When posting alleged facts, cite your source(s) as much as possible. If posting a blog, the blog entry must also cite sources. This will not be a general opinion topic whether it is a member or a blogger.
No political bashing. Technically politics is not a permissible topic of discussion on TC. I am invoking this rule.
Members may respond to fact based posts by other members, for instance to state their personal plan of action or inaction given a certain set of circumstances.
More to come as needed. Offending posts will be deleted, period. This is not an attempt at censorship, it is simply to keep this topic FOCUSED on the topic ... and to prevent flame wars in a volatile and very important topic.

Is God a Terrorist ? Meet Kansas Senator Sam Brownback's Friend & Former Condo Mate, GOP's New Prayer Leader Lou Engle
Among other things, TheCall Founder Lou Engle has predicted legalized abortion will lead to a second American civil war and written, "The 'most dangerous terrorist' is not Islam, but God. One of God's names is 'the avenger of blood.' Have you worshipped that God yet?"
In early May the Kansas Democratic Party issued a press release calling on Sam Brownback to "denounce close advisor and former roommate [Lou Engle] for supporting execution of gays."
Now the KDP has released a new 1 and 1/2 minute video, featuring footage I've posted over the past several months, concerning US Senator Sam Brownback's alleged friendship with evangelist Lou Engle, who claims he and Senator Brownback lived together in a rented Washington DC condo for seven months.
The video calls on Brownback to denounce Engle. But this isn't just about Engle and Brownback. As detailed below, based on the frequency with which he can be found in public appearances with leading Republican Party politicians, Lou Engle would seem to be the GOP's new prayer leader and religious figurehead.
In the Kansas Democratic Party video Engle can be seen be seen at a December 2007 rally in Kansas City, at which he discussed God as the "avenger of blood," asking his audience, including teens and young adults, "have you ever worshiped that aspect of God anytime lately?" A year and a half, Kansas late-term abortion doctor George Tiller was assassinated. Tiller's wife said he considered himself a Christian martyr. Lou Engle's TheCall events have featured calls for acts of Christian martyrdom to stop gay marriage and abortion.
On May 2nd, 2010, Lou Engle staged a rally in Kampala, Uganda, apparently in support of a bill in that country that would execute many gay Ugandans and impose an Orwellian anti-gay police surveillance state.
Meet the GOP's new prayer leader
Lou Engle is not just any evangelist. He's the Republican Party's new unofficial prayer leader who could be found over the past year onstage with numerous nationally prominent GOP politicians. But, why ? The likely reason is that Engle is a prophet in a fast-rising new right of the Christian right that's been almost wholly unnoticed by reporters and journalists purporting to cover politicized religion in America. But as detailed below, fellow leaders in Engle's movement are already playing a significant role in American electoral politics. They claim to be both transforming entire African nations, whole US states such as Hawaii, and significant East Coast cities, including Newark, New Jersey.
Last December 2009 Engle led the Family Research Council's Prayercast on Health Care Reform, a telecast event attended by GOP Senators Sam Brownback and Jim DeMint and Republican Congress members Michelle Bachmann and Randy Forbes. Lou Engle claims he was Kansas Senator Sam Brownback's roommate for seven months, and his association with GOP politicians doesn't stop there. During summer 2009 Engle blessed and anointed former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and former GOP Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.
More recently, Engle led a session on "prayer and revival" at the April 2010 Freedom Federation 'Awakening 2010' conference at former Moral Majority head Jerry Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, VA. Attending the event were Virginia's Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, Texas Governor Rick Perry, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, Congressman Randy Forbes, Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and Reagan Administration Undersecretary of Education Gary Bauer.
Media coverage of Lou Engle's religious tendency has been almost nonexistent, and that's striking given there's evidence the movement has already fielded a vice presidential candidate and is now fielding one (and, adding Brownback, maybe even two) GOP gubernatorial candidates.
Meet the Next Christianity
As an introduction to historian Philip Jenkins' 2002 Atlantic Magazine article The Next Christianity put it, "We stand at a historical turning point, the author argues—one that is as epochal for the Christian world as the original Reformation. Around the globe Christianity is growing and mutating in ways that observers in the West tend not to see."
While Jenkins' article suggested the momentous changes he rightly oberved ongoing in world Christianity were erupting out of the global South, that wasn't exactly true. The changes were to a considerable degree being driven by new theological ideas and new evangelizing techniques that were being exported from America, by American evangelicals.
In late 2009 a Boston-based think tank Political Research Associates report, by PRA Project Director Kapya Kaoma, accused American evangelicals of exporting their culture war agenda to Africa. There was considerable evidence for the accusation, but the report did not identify the specific religious tendency most aggressively involved.
Lou Engle belongs to a little known but rapidly emerging tendency within Pentecostalism and charismatic Christianity that by 2000 was estimated to encompass 295 million Christians worldwide. Perhaps the leading super-denomination within this emergent tendency is the "New Apostolic Reformation.", which seeks to radically restructure the faith by placing believers in pyramidal authority structures under its apostles and prophets. NAR founder C. Peter Wagner has declared his movement is leading a second Reformation.
Wagner's movement, which mainly originated in North America, is now playing a leading role in the attack on the LGBTI community in Sub Saharan Africa and in many other areas around the globe. It splits the world into absolute good and absolute evil, teaches that its enemies, including homosexuals, are possessed by demons, and claims all other faiths are under demon influence. Its adherents practice exorcism and claim miracle healing of HIV and AIDS. They seek to disciple entire nations and extend Christian dominion over all sectors of society, with the end-time goal of creating a theocratic utopia by cleansing the Earth of perceived demon influence and unbelievers.
The movement uses cutting-edge PR and marketing techniques and media strategies. Its evangelizing techniques are derived both from coercive cult practices and proven church growth strategies. It espouses radical free market economics and opposes government provided social services. Its leaders claim their movement is the only block of Christianity growing faster than the world population and faster than Islam.
Apostles and prophets coming your way
While Lou Engle has received a fair amount of media over the last year, none of the mainstream media coverage has placed Engle within the evolving structure of the US religious right. Engle serves alongside Sarah Palin's friend and prayer group leader Mary Glazier, as a prophet on the New Apostolic Reformation's Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, a group of less than thirty, headed by Peter Wagner, which issues prophetic statements. Besides Engle and Glazier, another ACPE prophet is Bishop Harry Jackson, who has led recent efforts to ban gay marriage in the District of Columbia.
Also at the December 2009 Prayercast against Health Care Reform was pastor Jim Garlow, who leading up to the 2008 election played a major role networking and organizing evangelical pastors during the push for California's antyi-gay marriage Proposition Eight. Jim Garlow can frequently now be found at conferences held by Lou Engle's movement, which is emerging as the new powerhouse of the Christian right.
Another major entity in the movement, besides the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE), is the International Coalition of Apostles (ICA), a globally influential body of "apostles" run by Rick Warren's dissertation adviser C. Peter Wagner, whose apostles and prophets have played a significant role in organizing and inspiring Ugandan Parliament members who have drafted, submitted, and backed Uganda's Anti Homosexuality Bill.
ICA apostles include Jim Ammerman whose chaplain endorsing agency controls 6-8 percent of the active duty chaplains in the US military. In September 2008 Ammerman printed a letter, in his official endorsing agency newsletter, that called for Democratic Senators Obama, Clinton, Dodd, and Biden to be executed for treason, for voting against a 2007 Senate bill that would have made English the official US language.
One of Ammerman's former prominent chaplains, James Linzey, could be heard in 2005 and 2006 espousing an anti-semitic, white racialist conspiracy theory alleging an evil Jewish banker-controlled plot to send a wave of Mexican and Islamic killers into the American Southwest to alter America's racial and ethnic makeup by raping all women and killing all adult and teen males.
Another ICA apostle is the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, who is President of the National Hispanic Leadership Conference, an association that claims to represent ten million Hispanic evangelicals and five million Hispanic charismatic Catholics in the United States.
Rodriguez, who has been dubbed the "Hispanic Karl Rove," does not mince words. As he told a mega church audience in 2007,
"We have radical Muslims. Radical homosexuals. Radical abortionists. We need radical, born again, spirit filled Christians to arise ! Do you follow me ? We don't need any sissy Christians, Oprah Winfrey Christians. We need prophetic, devil stomping, demon rebuking, blood washed, Bible believing, free-from-sin Christians !"
But Rodriguez can also take on such a PR-savvy, urbane demeanor he has been mistaken for a moderate or even slightly progressive evangelical and can travel in Democratic Party circles with ease and helped draft a major policy document, released in 2007 by the Democratic Party centrist group The Third Way, that purported to present a road map for moving America beyond the ongoing, contentious culture war battles over reproductive and gay rights.
Rise of The Rainbow Religious Right
At an October 2008 rally during the anti-gay marriage push in California Lou Engle stated that Hispanic voters were key to an electoral strategy that would turn California into a "pro-life" state. Declared Engle,
We believe that the Latinos are going to be a mighty force to turn America back to God. I am burning with a passion for the Latinos. Cindy Jacobs prophesied that California will be a pro-life state. The only way that will happen is MILLIONS of Latinos begin to understand that they can literally turn elections!
And that they can bring their fasting and prayer from South America and Latin America and not leave their prophetic fire at the border ! [applause] And bring it up into Texas and into Arizona and into California, to awaken some of the cold blood of the white folk.
Samuel Rodriguez is serving as point man for the New Apostolic Reformation's strategy to capture Hispanic and African-American voters and although the movement's interests do not always align with the Republican Party, in practice they tend to.
It's an electoral force that couldn't be fully tapped in the 2008 presidential election - many in this voting demographic who might otherwise have skewed towards the GOP were drawn to support Barack Obama. But Black and Hispanic evangelical voters played a significant role in passing California's anti-gay marriage Proposition Eight, and it's likely that the key wedge issues promoted by Peter Wagner's New Apostolic movement, gay rights and abortion, will play an increasing role in upcoming elections not just in California but also in traditionally liberal East Coast cities, such as Newark.
ICA Apostle Rev. Bernard Wilks presides over a prayer initiative in Newark, New Jersey that claims to have one volunteer organizer for almost every street in the city. The volunteers are organized by city ward, as if PrayforNewark was a political campaign. Wilks's church newsletters list "enemy identification" as one goal of the prayer effort.
Parent ministries for the PrayforNewark effort are Ed Silvoso's Harvest Evangelism and International Transformation Network which are also working to "transform" the Sub-Saharan nation of Uganda and the US state of Hawaii. Silvoso's ministries are also active in Jacksonville and Orlando, Florida, and in Baltimore, MD.

Kivela meth bill not perfect but is step in right direction
Michigan House Bill 4248 – introduced in the state house Tuesday by state Rep. John Kivela, D-Marquette – would require a prescription for the purchase of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, a pair of decongestants that also happen to be key components in methamphetamine.
The Mining Journal believes the bill, which was sent to the house's health policy committee, would cause a minor inconvenience to some residents of the state, while sparing everyone the destruction wrought by methamphetamine labs.
And honestly, the headlines of the last few years have been hard to miss. Lab-related explosions, fires and even murders have occurred – and that's just in Marquette County. But despite public outcry and strict prosecution, it seems the problem is only getting worse.
In 2012, the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team – which operates across 12 U.P. counties – dealt with 35 meth labs. That's a 57 percent increase from 2011 and a 500 percent increase from 2010, a year in which UPSET saw just seven labs.
Statewide, the Michigan State Police reported 299 meth lab seizures in 2010.
To protect our families, our neighbors and our communities, something needs to be done. And while it's likely true that legislators can't keep people from using meth, they can keep prospective manufacturers away from the main ingredients.
In Oregon, a nearly identical law took effect in the summer of 2006. From 2004 to 2011, annual meth lab seizures in a nine-county section of Oregon, identified as a high-intensity drug trafficking area, dropped from 448 to 10.
A similar law in Mississippi has led to a 70 percent drop in lab seizures.
We remain concerned that HB 4248 does too little to ensure cheap and continued access to pseudoephedrine prescriptions for legitimate patients – under the law they could be forced to obtain a possibly costly prescription from a doctor or physician assistant. And though that topic should be addressed swiftly, the benefits of legislation, at this point, far outweigh the costs.
The data clearly indicates the law would result in fewer labs, and that means fewer explosions, fires and injuries. It means not only that state residents will worry less about safety, but that law enforcement resources should be freed up for other police purposes.
The state police, a group with a unique knowledge of Michigan's meth culture, summed up the case for such laws in a 2011 report to the state legislature, which read: "The overall cost of investigating and remediating methamphetamine laboratories will likely increase if pseudoephedrine remains easily accessible to lab operators … Based on the proven success of prescription-only pseudoephedrine legislation in Mississippi and Oregon, Michigan should investigate the option of a ban on over-the-counter sale of the drug."
We agree.

8th Symposium on Logic and Language Short Title: LoLa8 Date: 26-Aug-2004 - 28-Aug-2004 Location: Debrecen, Hungary Contact: Gyorgy Rakosi Contact Email: lola8lola8.unideb.hu Meeting URL: http://lola8.unideb.hu Linguistic Sub-field: General Linguistics Call Deadline: 15-Mar-2004 Meeting Description: The Eighth Symposium on Logic and Language will be held in Debrecen from 26th to 29th of August, 2004. The Symposium is organised by the Linguistics Department and the Philosophy Department of the University of Debrecen, in conjunction with the Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Budapest). The 2004 forum is the eighth instalment of the Logic and Language Symposium series, which is designed to provide a forum where logicians and linguists meet to share and discuss current issues concerning how theories of linguistics and logic influence each other, with the aim of promoting a fruitful cooperation. Preceding symposiums took place in Debrecen (1987), Hajduszoboszlo (1989), Revfulop (1990), Budapest (1992), Noszvaj (1994), Budapest (1998) and Pecs (2002). The importance of the notion of context is widely acknowledged, even if to varying degrees, among pursuers of theories of natural as well as of formal languages. The very same word ''context'' often refers to quite heterogeneous sets of intuitions, which is obviously reflected in the corresponding formalisms. The aim of the Symposium is to analyse, compare and discuss a wide range of problems which are (directly or indirectly) related to the proper treatment of contextuality both in logic and in linguistics. We envisage a meeting with invited keynote speakers and a restricted number of papers from logicians, linguists, philosophers and computer scientists working on the formalization of contexts and the use of context in applications. In general, we hope to promote a discussion on how to recognize, acquire and represent contextual information as well as on the interplay between particular formalisms and the contextual information they aim to capture. We also welcome contributions concerning related areas of the description of languages. There exist various logics of context and it is a matter of constant discussion to what extent we need reference to context in approaches to information content, information structure, logically relevant sense, intensionality, dynamicity, valid inference, the proof theoretic handling of free variables, etc. On the linguistics side, an adequate semantic or syntactic account of a wide range of empirical phenomena, such as anaphora, tense, aspectuality, topichood, focushood, contrastivity, etc. heavily depends on the use and inclusion of different types of contextual information. The study of these specific domains might help to develop a fuller understanding of the notion of context.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Room and Bathroom Privacy: Very good (8/10).. Room Clean: Not Clean(3/10).. Bathroom Clean: Fair (6/10).. Review: The host is kind and good solution provider. If you are looking for a room to stay and looking for the closest location to Orchard are. this could be your good option. However, during my stay, the wi-fi is down and the water that come out from the shower head considered little. The future tenants are recommended to double check the cleanness of the room from the floor, bedside and tables. Overall, It's a fair satisfaction but It could be better.

Beware of carbs
Posted by Reviewer2473373 on Feb 13, 2011
The taste of this product is sweet without any bitterness so it is excellent in that way. I've used this mainly with hot beverages and it is perfect with black tea, with coffee it works but not as well. However, this is not pure stevia but it has maltodextrin so the carb count is 1 gram per serving. If you are carb sensitive you might consider pure stevia products instead.

Posted by Reviewer1469527 on Nov 25, 2008
Taste good. But has to state on the package that it must be refrigerated. It becomes hard in the packets.

Posted by Reviewer1389052 on Jun 24, 2009
I like the fact that I know this sweetener won't harm me. There is still a small noticeable aftertaste, however, I will repurchase this product.
If you have to use sugar substitute
Posted by Reviewer1165315 on Oct 04, 2009
then the convenience of packets is the way to go. I can throw a few in my bag when I travel and know I always have it when eating out. I don't like using Nutrasweet nor Splenda which is all you can find at most restaurants. I like having a perfect measure of Stevia in my purse.
Posted by Reviewer1621299 on Jun 12, 2010
So so. Would not buy again. Keep looking
Pretty good, a little bitter in liquid
Posted by Reviewer1332199 on Jul 11, 2010
I have noticed a little after taste when I use this product in hot drinks.
Powerful sweetner
Posted by Reviewer2311883 on Nov 05, 2010
I use only half of packet per mug of tea which makes it honey sweet
Slight Aftertaste
Posted by Reviewer2307928 on Jan 02, 2008
It sweetens well, not requiring a large amount of sweetener. One packet is easily sweeter than a teaspoon of sugar. Another reviewer said there was no aftertaste, but I easily detected one, but it is better than most other sweeteners.
very, very sweet
Posted by Reviewer2950554 on Sep 14, 2008
extremely sweet flavor, but almost saccharine-like in taste.
odd taste in beginning
Posted by Reviewer2450037 on Feb 27, 2011
weird taste for me, although it is very popular. Maybe I will get used to it.

Welcome, Dale. Thank you for your service. I don't know much about commercial pizza operation, but I like the way you are approaching this project. I've seen plenty of people post messages about starting their own pizza joint; many seem destined to fail. Sounds to me like you have the background and spirit to make it a success.Military theme sounds really promising, especially naming pies and other dishes that shows you're one of them. not just another chain franchise. These "inside jokes" about the base in a take-menu will surely get maximum exposure. Good luck and please keep us posted on your progress.
Welcome Sky Soldier and thank you for your sacrifice and service.Sounds like a great idea and one sorely needed around some bases, where I have been appalled at the quality of goods and treatment given by the local businesses. GL!
Oh I am also leaning towards a wood burning brick oven, with a second choice of gas..........there is no way I would use a conveyor oven
