Ottenbreit Bides Time at Virginia, Ready to Make Impact with U19 Team
|Tanner Ottenbreit, Colorado's
high school player of the year in 2011, bided his time at Virginia
as a freshman, and is ready to make an impact as an athletic

Tanner Ottenbreit has heard the voice before.
Patience, my son.
He felt it while standing on the sideline under a clear Philadelphia sky as he watched his Virginia teammates rally for a 9-8 season-opening victory at Drexel this February.
It was so faint it barely registered last fall, but it was there in Charlottesville when he watched his teammates accept their 2011 national championship rings.
And the voice hovered like a specter over Ottenbreit in Baltimore in May 2011 when he watched his euphoric future teammates celebrate at M&T Bank Stadium.
Patience... you'll get your shot.
Ottenbreit's time will come — no one doubts it. Not his coaches, not his teammates and certainly not himself. Though going from big man on campus as a high school senior to the deep end of the depth chart — he played sparingly in five games as a Virginia freshman — is humbling for any athlete, Ottenbreit refuses to let it hinder his growth as a lacrosse player.
"It makes for a little adversity, but I'm not disappointed with anything," he said. "It just makes you want to work harder to earn a spot."
It's not the first time he'll have to.
Ottenbreit grew up in Colorado playing hockey first, then translated some of those skills onto the lacrosse field. He followed in the footsteps of his father, Dean, who was inducted into the Colorado State University Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2011.
A defenseman in both sports and a cornerback in football — "I guess it's just the ego of offensive people and trying to shut them down" that appeals to him, he said — Tanner got to high school only to discover six senior long poles on the roster in front of him. His coaches told him he wouldn't see many minutes but to learn as much as he could.
They moved Ottenbreit to midfield just to get him some playing time. By the time he graduated from Regis Jesuit in 2011, he was Colorado's Player of the Year and a state champ.
History could repeat itself at Virginia, where in 2012 Ottenbreit was stuck behind fifth-year Chris Clements and fourth-year Wyatt Melzer.
"They're both great guys," Ottenbreit said earlier this season. "Watching them helps me just as much as being on the field. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can from them and hopefully get out there next year and have a big role on the team."
Head coach Dom Starsia sees Ottenbreit's potential and wants to get him on the field. Ottenbreit even took a few faceoffs in practice.
"He's athletic, he picks the ball up off the ground, and he's one of our best guys at keeping [the ball] loose and chasing it down," Starsia said. "We've just got to try to find ways to get him out there so he can contribute. ... Everyone around here has confidence in him. He's going to play an important role here."
Starsia said Ottenbreit reminds him a little of Peter Ragosa, another defensive-minded lacrosse player with a hockey background who came to Virginia in the late 1990s and wound up an All-American long-stick midfielder. But whereas Ragosa was largely unheralded and did most of his work quietly, Ottenbreit came to campus with a reputation approaching that of a rock star, with shoulder-length locks to match. At least, that's what Starsia thought he might be getting.
"I might have thought we were going to see a little more of that," Starsia said. "I've seen a kid who is very thoughtful and respectful, works hard, quietly goes about his business, and he has sort of grown on us over the course of the fall."
At a program like Virginia, everyone was a star in high school. Starsia believes that coming in with a swagger is not necessarily a bad thing. It's how those freshmen adjust and adapt to their new role that interests Starsia the most.
"The boys that play early are generally the guys that have the most resilient spirit," Starsia said. "Tanner has a very even personality; hasn't been ruffled. And he seemed quite satisfied that his role has kind of grown over the period of time that he's been here rather than walking in the front door and being handed anything. In Tanner's specific case, it's been a little bit of a surprise just the way he has come along, but very much a pleasant surprise."
Ottenbreit said he didn't lose that swagger upon arriving at Virginia, but understood his place.
"You want to adapt to what you need to do, but you don't want to change your style and how you want to go about things," he said. "You just try to be you."
It's that player that will play a big role on the U.S. under-19 men's national team this summer. Head coach Tim Flynn isn't worried that limited action with the Cavaliers will stunt him in any way. Look for Ottenbreit to push the ball from defense to offense.
"For an athlete of his varied abilities, we can take a look at a lot of different areas for him to be able to help the team — that's one reason we took him," Flynn said. "I don't think you can put any limits on what's possible with a guy like that."
Flynn got to know Ottenbreit well at a couple of U19 team functions and, like Starsia, was impressed by his demeanor.
"I love kids that look you in the eye when they talk to you, and I got that sense from him," Flynn said. "Just a really strong, positive personality. Very down-to-earth."
Those qualities will be key when the U19 team travels to Finland July 12-21 for the FIL World Lacrosse Championships. And when he's back at Virginia, that approach will help him when he hears the voice in the back of his head saying, "Patience, Tanner ... your time will come."
When it does, good things usually follow.
Follow the U.S. U19 team at laxmagazine.com/teamusa/u19men as it prepares for the FIL World Championships July 12-21. The team plays a group of New Jersey all-stars in Mountain Lakes, N.J., on Sunday.

How do we define art? The exhibition "The Art of Video Games," which opened at the Boca Raton Museum of Art on October 24, makes the argument that video games, from Pac-Man to Space Invaders, Halo to Super Mario, are art.
The Boca Raton Museum of Art is the first museum to host this exhibit, following a widely successful run at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The exhibition, which premiered in March, covers the 40-year evolution of video games, from the advent of the art form in the 1970s through the rise of home-gaming systems, ending at the omnipresent video game culture of today.
Last month, PBI.com spoke with Marisa Pascucci, curator of twentieth century and contemporary art at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, about the new exhibit, how it came to Boca Raton and the innate challenges in packaging video games as art.
PBI.COM: How did "The Art of Video Games" make its way to the museum? It seems like an odd fit for Boca.
PASCUCCI: It does when you first think about it. It's something our director is trying to change a little bit in terms of the types of exhibitions the museum has done in the past. It's a little more, to quote him, "playful, smart and inventive."
What type of audience do you think it will attract?
Well, we hope to attract our usual museum audience, our members, but then we hope to reach out to families who don't usually think about coming to the museum. And, obviously, video gamers. We hope to reach the 50-year-old people who've been playing video games since they were 10 and then the 18-year-olds who've been playing since they were 8. So we hope to attract a cross section.
What aspects of this exhibit are interactive?
There are five playable games that range the history of video games. There's everything from Pac-Man from the 1980s up until Flower from 2009. ... You can play anywhere from three to eight minutes with each game. So it's not like you're stuck behind one person trying to clear all of Pac-Man or anything like that.
How is the art aspect of video games illustrated in this exhibit?
There's another section of 20 interactive kiosks called genre kiosks, as the Smithsonian has described them. And each of these kiosks has three screens that have original drawings, screenshots and a monitor that shows you a demonstration of the game. This is the section that really stresses the complete cross history. So, this goes from 1977 and an Atari game up until Playstation 3 that's just a couple of years old.
And these kiosks show the artistic evolution of video games?
Yes. If you look at the top screen or top image, you can see how it has progressed. So the first one is from the 1970s, so it's very basic imagery. And then it goes up until contemporary games, and the graphics are amazing.
How long does the exhibit take to walk through?
You could spend 20 minutes or you could spend three hours. It depends on whether you want to sit and listen to the interviews, watch the development of graphics, listen to the kiosks and actually play some of the games.
This is a pretty innovative exhibition. Has the Boca MOA ever done anything like this before?
No, it's definitely completely new for us. It's kind of similar to this summer's miniature golf show. We had 11 miniature golf holes designed by 11 contemporary artists. So they're playable golf holes but then also a piece of contemporary art. It's just a different way of presenting art to be interactive, to reach new audiences and still, obviously, not ignore our present audiences.
Do you think there's a challenge in getting museum patrons to view video games as art?
I think it's going to be a challenge for a lot of people, yes. But it's a challenge that we're definitely up to. And graphics, video game graphics, there's just no doubt, it is art. It's creating, it's drawing, so there are some sketchbooks and there are some photographs of digital images and several sketchbooks just to show how it goes from one to the other. It's just a different type of storytelling.

text: @Max: I agree with your list and yes we would need all of those for a fairly complex boards to more & more complex boards. That is why electronics design has been known as a costly investment (software tools as you mentioned + the lab instruments + certification cost) and those tools don't come for free (for commercial use). Hence depending on the complexity of the design involved, we could sacrifice some of those as appropriate...compromising somewhere else - more bench testing, debugging and possible reiterations. :)

Father's Day falls on June 16, but did you know the week leading up to it also is all about the man of the house? June 10-16 is National Men's Health Week. We've curated seven tips and ideas—one for each day of the week—to promote everyday wellness and awareness for preventable health problems found in men.
- June 10: Did you have a long day at work? Take a break and meditate. A 2011 study by Harvard Medical School found a link between meditation and higher fertility, increased immunity, lower blood pressure and other benefits.
- June 11: Blue is the official color of Men's Health Week. Rock your favorite azure tie or navy pants and bring attention to men's health.
- June 12: Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the United States, according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Get your blood pressure and cholesterol levels tested and complete a diabetes screening. You'll be glad you did.
- June 13: According to the American Cancer Society, one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Schedule a prostate cancer screening today.
- June 14: Now that the uncomfortable tasks are behind you, pamper yourself with a day at the spa. The Lane Spa in Palm Beach Gardens offers a men's treatment package that consists of a deep tissue massage, men's facial and men's spa pedicure. (561-691-0104)
- June 15: It's Saturday night, so you might enjoy a drink or two. Ask the bartender for an antioxidant-rich libation like red wine or even a whiskey and green tea cocktail.
- June 16: For all the dads, have your kids bring you a heart-healthy breakfast in bed like a whole-wheat wrap filled with avocado, scrambled eggs and salsa.

Ohio 28th in CNBC study of the best states for business
The Columbus Dispatch - July 10, 2013 06:13 PM
Ohio has finished 28th in CNBC's annual report of the best states for business.
The study ranks the 50 states on 51 measures of competitiveness developed with the help of business groups. The report then separates the data into ten broad categories.
South Dakota came in first, followed by Texas, North Dakota and Nebraska. Virginia and Utah tied for fifth.
Ohio's best rating was an 11th place finish in infrastructure. The state came in 47th for workforce.
Gov. John Kasich has been touting the state's more-business friendly attitude, but it didn't pay off in the CNBC study. Last year, the state finished 25th in CNBC's report.
One reason for the drop could be because of the "cost of business" category. Last year, the state finished sixth; this year 22nd.

Already a member? Log in.
Meet other local people who are interested in hiking for fitness! We also do some biking, snow shoeing, ice skating, roller skating and some x-country skiing and getting together for a bite to eat after a hike or just coffee.
Our group is a lot of fun. We are all friendly and always open to new ideas for meetups and new places too. We do have to consider the regions originally intended which are northern central MA and southern NH but will venture out now and then on camping trips or to the beach. We're about having fun and getting some exercise. Most of our group can do moderate hiking. Please be a kindred spirited person at least while on our hikes. Having respect for nature is a must.
We embrace diversity and welcome everyone regardless of gender, gender preferences, race, age(18 and up), marital status, etc. Anyone who is not cool with that, please do not join our group.We are peace loving people.
Please do not join this group if you are not going to participate in events but just want your profile seen or are just using this site as a dating tool. There are singles only sites on Meetup for that.
The difficulty of our hikes is normally set to allow the maximum amount of participation for the maximum amount of members. A moderate pace of approximately 2MPH should be expected on most hikes. When hikes are planned that are more difficult, such as Mt Monadnock, the description of the meet-up will include this fact. Our goal is to enjoy the outdoors while meeting people interested in the same - not to conquer the mountains. Our hikes are also paced to keep everyone in the group more or less together through the entire hike.
Weather is obviously a major factor in any of our hikes. We try not to cancel meet-ups for light rain - we are outdoors after all. However, in the case of forecasted heavy rain and/or lightning, we'll try to cancel those meet-ups about 24 hours ahead of time. I use weather.com radar maps to make this determination and send an email prior to the event. The best advice is to check your email the morning of a meet-up for any cancellations.
Anyone soliciting products or services through this group without the organizers permission will be removed from the group immediately. To discourage this kind of behavior, I ask that group members do not buy any products or services from anyone trying to sell them through this group or this website. That is NOT what this Meet-up group is intended for.
Please read postings before you RSVP. There is no need to RSVP "No" unless you are changing an RSVP from a "yes". This just sends more unnecessary email to the organizer's in-boxes.

Area recycling options sparse
February 2, 2006

The city of Clovis eschews all but aluminum and tin recycling because of cost issues, but one local grassroots recycling program has generated thousands of dollars for charity, and others hope to do the same.
Six years ago, Clovis resident Trudi Ford purchased an old cotton trailer from a local farmer with grant money. Now, that trailer sits in the parking lot of Zia Elementary school, collecting tons of glittering, aluminum cans from community and school members.
The program generates roughly $1,000 every nine months, according to Zia principal Jarilyn Butler. Proceeds are split between local charities and the school's beautification program, Butler and Ford said.
"We wanted to teach our kids two things: how to have good character and how to take care of the Earth," Ford said.
The program also developed due to lack of recycling options in the area, Ford said.
"That's why we started this," said Ford of she and fellow Zia employees. "It bothered all of us."
But the Zia program has scathed only the tip of the iceberg.
Ford throws out plastic containers, cardboard, newspapers and glass at home and at school. There is nowhere else for it to go.
The city recycled materials other than tin and aluminum for a short period of time but there was "no market" for it, said Clovis Public Works Director Harry Wang.
"If we don't make money doing something, we can't justify it," Wang said.
A city of Clovis' size simply does not have the tax base to support a full-blown recycling program, Wang said. Supplying recycling bins to Clovis households and transporting recyclables, as done in other cities, isn't monetarily plausible, he said. Even curb-side trash pickup is a luxury. In most parts of the city, residents deposit trash in alley dumpsters.
The city does transport and recycle cardboard from local companies, which consume it in large amounts, and there are also several aluminum and tin recycling drop-off points throughout the city, Wang said.
But when it comes to recycling other materials, area citizens are left to close the gap — citizens such as Pastor Kelly Fulfer of Trinity Family Center Church in Portales.
He and a friend are hashing plans to start a recycling program at the church. Proceeds would go to charity, Fulfer said.
Though the duo hasn't ironed out all the details, they are collecting materials and are storing them, for the time being, in an empty garage.
"We do want to touch our community in a real way, but we also want to make it practical," Fulfer said.

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
FIVE DOZEN WHITTIER STUDENTS traveled to the U.S./Mexico border last week to join a group of nearly 300 volunteers in picking up trash at Border Field State Park.
The students were led by professors from various departments including Julie Collins-Dogrul, sociology; Jose Orozco, history; David Bourgaize, biology; Mary Perez, social work; and Peter Reich, Whittier Law School.
After a morning of clearing debris, the students spent the afternoon hearing from a speaker at the Tijuana River Estuary Interpretive Center about cross-border environmental problems that afflict the river, including trash buildup and silting. Students also learned about cooperative bi-national solutions being carried out to address these problems.
The trip was sponsored by the sociology, anthropology, social work, biology, and history departments, as well as the First Year Writing program, Hartley House, and LEAP. In addition, a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities provided an honorarium to the guest speaker from the Interpretive Center.

Coca-Cola Profit Rises 13%: Hot Trends
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include Coca-Cola(KO) after the company reported an increase of 13% in fourth-quarter profit on higher global sales volume.
Coke reported global sales growth of 3%, driven by international sales. Coke has been shifting its focus to emerging markets with growing middle classes where the market for its products isn't saturated, as it is in the U.S. and Europe.
The company earned $1.87 billion, or 41 cents a share, in the quarter, compared with $1.66 billion, or 36 cents share, in the same quarter a year ago. Excluding items, the company reported profit of 45 cents a share. Analysts had been looking for an adjusted profit of 44 cents a share on revenue of $11.53 billion.
Hostess Brands is trending as the company was granted approval by a bankruptcy judge to hold an auction for some of its brands.
Flower Foods, McKee Foods, United States Bakery, Apollo Global Management and C. Dean Metropoulos & Co. have been approved as lead bidders, otherwise called "stalking-horse" bidders for Hostess products. The date for a sale hearing to approve the best bids has been set for March 19.
According to reports, Apollo and Metropoulos offered as much as $410 million for the Hostess snack-cake business, while Flower Foods has two purchase agreements for Hostess products, one for $360 million and another for $30 million. McKee Foods has agreed to pay $27.5 million for the Drake's product line, while United States Bakery has offered $28.9 million for brands including Eddy's and Standish Farms.
The approval comes three months after Hostess filed for bankruptcy following negotiations with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers union that broke down and the union went on strike.
PepsiCo(PEP) is another popular search. The company is rolling out a new Mountain Dew morning energy drink called Kickstart.
Kickstart will come in orange citrus and fruit punch flavors. At 80 calories per drink, it will consist of 5% fruit juice and Vitamins B and C as well as 90 milligrams of caffeine. A similar sized can of Mountain Dew has 72 milligrams of caffeine.
The drink will hit shelves on Feb. 25.
The chatter on Main Street (a.k.a. Google, Yahoo! and other search sites) is always of interest to investors on Wall Street. Thus, each day, TheStreet compiles the stories that are trending on the Web, and highlights the news that could make stocks move.

Thanks for the replies! I'll just try things out, then. I was also concerned because I think I read somewhere that a new pot rather muddles the taste of a tea until you've steeped it enough, which would mean it would be a pretty long process to get it tasting normally and you'd always have to, er, reset the pot before trying it on a new category of tea. But maybe I'm just too impatient.
(Heh. If TS' Dahongpao is indicative of other Wuyis, maybe it's the exact opposite for me, as I didn't like it that much.)
On a side note: Urgh. I may have ruined my pots, as I boiled them on a cloth to reduce vibration, of which dye has been released into the water. What was I thinking? Anyway, I'm just going to boil them again tomorrow and hope that the dye hasn't been absorbed.

RECAP: 2013 U.S. Sprint National Championships
(Coach Alan Anderson gives a celebratory speech to Gig Harbor athletes at post-Nationals banquet)
Gig Harbor Canoe and Kayak Race Team (GHCKRT) has outgrown the parking lot outside of its training grounds. Pretty soon they will need a bigger trophy case as well.
Based in Gig Harbor, Wash., GHCKRT won its second consecutive Sprint National Championship team title under Head Coach Alan Anderson. The club takes home the Yonkers Trophy with 28 athletes accumulating 473.5 points.
Anderson planned to let some of his top athletes who paddled in Canada for the Junior World Championships last weekend take off the long-distance 5,000-meter races this weekend. That plan changed when he did the math and realized the opportunity ahead of him. He called a team meeting the night before the first day of racing.
"I said, 'I needed everybody in every race. We miss no races, we [will] have no underweight boats,'" Anderson said. "There were a lot of frowns, I don't know if they believed me. I said, 'we have a shot at winning our second National Championship and we're going to take it.'"
The small city north of Tacoma has produced a thriving feeder club for U.S. Junior and Senior National Teams. Previous members Cedric Bond and Katy Hill (Gig Harbor, Wash.) have enrolled in the Oklahoma City University varsity kayak program, the only one of its kind in the U.S. Adding to that list is Natalie Griffin (Gig Harbor, Wash.), who paddled her last race in a GHCKRT jersey on Sunday.
Griffin won two Golds and one Bronze medal in junior women's kayak on the weekend.
"I'm really sad, I was really connected with everyone on my team and especially my coaches Alan and Mr. [Jon] Sousley," Griffin said. "They have been like dads to me and every girl on the team like a sister and all the guys like a brother."
"Every single day we go out and work hard in the beginning of the day before school. And in the afternoon we just work our hardest and push each other. With our coaches right there along our side, it makes it all worthwhile."
WHAT: 2013 U.S. Sprint National Championships
WHERE: Oklahoma City Boathouse District in Oklahoma City, Okla.
WHEN: August 8-11
WHO: the best flatwater paddlers from across the country
LINKS: Results. Video - live stream starting each day at 8am.
Click HERE for a recap of the Master's level events.
One year into the 2016 Olympic quadrennial, kayaker Ryan Dolan (Kailua, Hawaii) feels good about where he stands having placed 11th in the Under-23 World Championships last week and then winning the senior men's K1 200m National Championship on Saturday.
Dolan, who narrowly missed out on qualifying for the 2012 Games, finished in 38.159, which was +0.877 seconds ahead of Chris Miller (Gainesville, Ga.). Miller and fellow Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club member Stanton Collins (Gainesville, Ga.) teamed up to win the senior men's K2 200m title with a time of 36.777.
In senior men's canoe, Rob Finlayson (Gainesville, Ga.) clinched the C1 200m title with a time of 42.088, which was +1.726 seconds ahead of LCKC teammate Ian Ross (Bethesda, Md.). The two then joined forces to win the C2 200m title with a time of 42.467. Both athletes will be heading to the 2013 World Championships later this month in Duisburg, Germany.
In senior women's kayak, Kaitlyn McElroy (Oklahoma City, Okla.) finished first in K1 200m with a time of 45.066, ahead of Oklahoma City Riversport (OKCRS) teammates Arezou Fakhr (Oklahoma City, Okla.), Maggie Hogan (Oklahoma City, Okla.), and Katy Hill (Gig Harbor, Wash.). McElroy and Hogan then teamed up to win the K2 200m title with a time of 40.864.
In ParaCanoe, Nik Miller of Washington Canoe Club (WCC) won the K1 title with a time of 54.858, which was +1.918 seconds ahead of the second place finisher. Greg Crouse of San Diego Canoe and Kayak Team finished first in V1 (outrigger) with a time of 1:02.289.
"It feels great to be a National Champion, I work hard for this point," Crouse said. "I made the National Team and I wanted to come here and get some pre-race in before Worlds. I feel strong, I feel confidence, I'm going to have a good showing at Worlds."
Megan Blunk of GHCKRT won the women's K1 title with a time of 59.279, which was +2.400 seconds ahead of the second place finisher. Kelly Allen of Texas finished first in V1 (outrigger) with a time of 1:03.233.
In the junior men's ranks, Dylan Puckett (Jones, Okla.) of OKCRS won the K1 200m final in 40.972, while Gavin Ross (Bethesda, Md.) of WCC claim the National Championship in C1 200m with a time of 45.279.
"It feels really good to win out here," Puckett said. "Again, just like [at Nationals in OKC] in 2010, I was hoping that I would make everybody proud here in Oklahoma City to take the win again."
Junior women's kayaker Natalie Griffin (Gig Harbor, Wash.) of GHCKRT won the K1 200m final in 46.229, while junior canoeist Lydia Keefe Sampson (Seattle, Wash.) took gold in C1 200m with a time of 57.591.
From an overall team points perspective, this year's Sprint Nationals is more competitive than it's been in years. After Gig Harbor Canoe and Kayak Race Team (GHCKRT) won the team title in 2012, Oklahoma City Riversport Coach Aasim Saleh warned Gig Harbor Coach Alan Anderson that the OKCRS paddlers would be gunning for the team title in 2013.
Anderson, who said he was never concerned with winning team titles before 2012, poured over the race schedule on his plane trip from Washington to Oklahoma, predicting finishes and adding up potential point totals. He realized that his group of athletes would have a shot at repeating as Team National Champions. The competition was on before any boats hit the water.
"The important point is that we're all one [U.S] team," Anderson said. "By making each other more competitive with each other, it's the only way we are going to be able to compete with Europe and the other big countries - by giving each other our best stuff."
Newly hired U.S. Sprint High Performance Manager Michele Eray agrees that stiff competition among clubs is a necessary precursor for international success.
"The only way to get better and faster is to compete more or at least have a higher standard of competition. Because [America] is so big and its so far from everywhere, you have to do it in house. So that's probably one of the biggest thing is to be able to come to Nationals and say 'I won Nationals or I made a Final and it was really hard to do'. That would be a good goal to have."
Thunderstorms and flash flooding early Friday morning caused each race on Day 2 of Sprint Nationals to either be postponed or cancelled altogether. With buoys and debris scattered across the course, only the long distance races were held Friday. Racing will resume Saturday with the 200m sprints.
In senior men's C1 5000m, Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club finished 1-2-3 with Ian Ross (Bethesda, Md.) earning the National Championship title with a time of 20:53.871. Ross finished +12.773 seconds ahead of Rob Finlayson (Gainesville, Ga.), while Ben Hefner (Gainesville, Ga.) placed 3rd.
In senior women's K1 5000m, OKCRS kayakers claimed the top 5 spots. Maggie Hogan (Oklahoma City, Okla.) led the way with a first place time of 20:19.668, +9.345 seconds ahead of K2 partner Kaitlyn McElroy (Oklahoma City, Okla.). Rounding out the top 5 were Katy Hill (Gig Harbor, Wash.), Arezou Fakhr (Oklahoma City, Okla.), and Nicole Mallory (West Henrietta, N.Y.).
In junior women's C1 5000m, it was a Pacific Northwest battle with GHCKRT members finishing 1st and 3rd, sandwiched around Anna Socha of Seattle Canoe and Kayak Club. Makenzie Sousley (Gig Harbor, Wash.) won the race with a time of 26:17.327, while Savannah Jones (Gig Harbor, Wash.) placed 3rd.
In junior men's K1 5000m, Istvan Urban (San Diego, Calif.) won the title with a time of 19:31.861, 40 seconds ahead of fellow San Diego Canoe and Kayak Team member Diego Vazquez.
Oklahoma City Riversport (OKCRS) athletes Kaitlyn McElroy and Maggie Hogan kicked off Sprint Nationals on their home waters with first place finishes in in senior women's K2 500m and K4 500m on Thursday. The two U.S. Senior Team members won the K2 500m final in 1:49.110, which was +3.061 seconds faster than OKCRS teammates Nicole Mallory (West Henrietta, N.Y.) and Arezou Fakhr (Oklahoma City, Okla.).
All four then teamed up to finish first in K4 500m with a time of 1:43.902, which was +3.857 seconds ahead of Cannie Ash (Hoschton, Ga.), Alex McLain, Karenna Paul and Macy Dwyer of Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club (LCKC).
LCKC kayaker Chris Miller (Gainesville, Ga.) won the senior men's K1 1000m final with a time of 3:45.378, which was +2.933 seconds faster than Ryan Dolan (Kailua, Hawaii) of Hawaii Canoe and Kayak Team.
LCKC canoeists Ian Ross (Bethesda, Md.) and Rob Finlayson (Gainesville, Ga.) finished first in senior men's C2 1000m with a time of 3:57.129, which was +7.168 seconds ahead of Ian's brother Gavin Ross (Bethesda, Md.) and David Podloch of the Washington Canoe Club.
Gavin Ross mostly competed in junior events, finishing first in the men's C1 1000m with a time of 4:20.796. Gig Harbor Canoe and Kayak Race Team (GHCKRT) canoeists Andrew Field (Gig Harbor, Wash.) and Zach Guay (Seattle, Wash.) placed 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
Istvan Urban (San Diego, Calif.) and Garen Doyle of San Diego Canoe and Kayak Team won the junior men's K2 1000m final with a time of 3:39.703.
GHCKRT athletes claimed the junior women's K1 500m and C2 500m titles. Alyson Morse (Gig Harbor, Wash.) finished the K1 500m final in 2:02.473 while teammates Makenzie Sousley (Gig Harbor, Wash.) and Savannah Jones (Gig Harbor, Wash.) finished the C2 500m final in 2.14.809.
Four hundred of the country's best sprint paddlers will descend upon the Oklahoma River Thursday for Sprint Nationals. Each will be competing for individual honors, but also for the coveted team points title.
The last two clubs to win the team national championships are also the clubs recording the best results at the 2012 Junior/U-23 World Championships last weekend in Welland, Canada, Aug. 1-4. Together, athletes from the Gig Harbor Canoe and Kayak Race Team and Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club earned seven Top 20 finishes last weekend.
The Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club (LCKC) is based out of Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Ga. – the site of flatwater racing at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games. The club has won ten national championship titles, but was topped in 2012 by the Gig Harbor Canoe and Kayak Race Team (GHCKRT).
"As a club, Lanier has 12 senior athletes who are all strong competitors," said LCKC Head Coach Claudiu Ciur. "We also have 20 younger athletes, mostly bantams. This group is trained by the best development coach in the country, Kalen Lee Scholz. She has been producing quality athletes for a few years now and we expect strong results from all of her kids. Like any Nationals we come expecting to win."
National champions will be crowned in bantam, juvenile, junior, under-23, senior, masters and paracanoe classes. Exhibition races will occur Friday night to show off the river's new stadium lights.
Many of the competitors are fresh off solid performances at the Junior World Championships. Leading the way for Team USA were 2016 Olympic Hopefuls Ryan Dolan (Kailua, Hawaii) and Ian Ross (Bethesda, Md.). Dolan finished 11th in men's U-23 K1 200m while Ross placed 8th in men's U-23 C1 1000m.
Ross, originally of the Washington Canoe Club, moved to Georgia to train with Ciur and top U.S. canoeists Ben Hefner (Gainesville, Ga.) and Rob Finlayson (Gainesville, Ga.).
"He has been training under me for one year," Ciur said. "He has proved himself to be very professional and had a great fight with many tough countries through the [Junior Worlds] regatta. I believe Ian has what it takes to be one of the athletes that can qualify the 1000m C1 spot for Rio [2016]. In the next three weeks, our goal is to finish in the top 15 at the Senior World Championships in Duisburg, Germany."
A growing number of homegrown and transplant paddlers call the Boathouse District home. Dylan Puckett (Jones, Okla.) will race for his fifth consecutive national championship title. Just last weekend he was placing 13th and 16th in K2 races at the Junior World Championships. U.S. Senior Team Members Kaitlyn McElroy (Oklahoma City, Okla.) and Maggie Hogan (Oklahoma City, Okla.) were most recently seen winning medals individually and together at the Lake Placid International in Lake Placid, N.Y., July 6-7.
Joe Jacobi, USA Canoe/Kayak CEO: "We're excited to return to Oklahoma City for Nationals, especially as our national headquarters are located here in the Boathouse District. The venue at the Boathouse District is constantly setting the bar, and we're excited to showcase a Night Race exhibition as part of the festivities."
Mike Knopp, OKC Boathouse Foundation Executive Director: "Seeing so many of Oklahoma's up-and-coming stars race on the Oklahoma River is truly heart-warming, as we've worked so hard to create a world-class aquatic venue here in OKC. We invite everyone in the community to come down to cheer for our athletes and help us make all of our out-of-town guests feel at home."
Headquartered in Oklahoma City, USA Canoe/Kayak is a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee and the International Canoe Federation.

Pros: Superb balancing, nice soundstage, clarity, outstanding customer service
Cons: wish I would have gotten the custom tips
When considering the wide range of IEMs out there I was fairly perplexed when it came to making a decision, it's the classic "headfiier's dilemma." Nobody wants to miss out. I've owned a number of headphones and the HF3s are your best bet for outstanding IEMs under $200, not to mention their customer service is unbelievably helpful (especially you Charlene!).
Bass/Fit: There are a lot of reviews saying the Etymotics aren't great at the low end response--it seems they should try other tips to find a better seal. I found the HF3 response very flat (with an almost Grado-like sound signature) that's light and fun to listen to. I've had UE TF-10s (reshelled) and their identical mate the MAudio IE40 which are both considered bass heavy but the HF3's punch and clarity were outstanding. I can vouch that the low-end response increases a bit after burning them in (I use a standard burn-in cd). My only regret is that I didn't snag some of their custom fit tips. I love them with my little iBasso T4 amp even though they also sound nice straight from the ipod (or blackberry in my constantly "on the go" case). The headphone wire is great, I don't know what they did but it doesnt tangle like some of the other cables out there. I do the 3 finger coil wrap and they never get twisted or knotted. The outter shell of the wire is very durable and light. They don't weigh anything and I forget sometimes I have them in.
Value: I'm a believer in Etymotic. I was a bit skeptical but the comfort and accuracy (with ipod button convenience) won me over instantly. I listen to a wide range of music (and different cans) and have never been taken by surprise--the HF3s are brilliant sounding and don't have that "tiring" effect some IEMs have...you listen to them for a bit and have to stop or change headphones...not the case with HF3. I'd really be curious to see what Etymotic's top end custom fit IEMs sound like...
Bottom line: Fun, accurate, comfortable IEMs that will really blow you away for the price tag.

Michael - is the dough covered with plastic wrap or a top on the container when in the fridge?John
Michael: I would suggest using a little olive oil to coat the dough ball. That should prevent the surface from drying. I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say that you "put a little flour at the end" but if you're using too much bench flour, that might account for the burning you're getting.Barry
I'm having a hard time visualizing what's going on, and (if you haven't either used the dough ball or thrown it out) posting a picture is usually helpful. I'll let others come in on the milky issue.Barry

Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Edmonton Centre
Laurie Hawn Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, I proudly wore the uniform of the Canadian Forces for over 30 years and I can tell members it is an honourable calling and career.
Our men and women fighting in Afghanistan are performing incredible work under difficult circumstances. They are fighting to bring security to the Afghan people. They are fighting so that young girls can go to school. They are fighting so that women can see a doctor for health care.
This video is outrageous fiction by irresponsible individuals who should be ashamed of themselves. I know Canadians are proud of our brave and courageous members of the Canadian Forces.
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Rodger Cuzner Cape Breton—Canso, NS
Mr. Speaker, in 2005, a crab management plan for crab fishing areas 23 and 24 was put into place that fishers felt would bring long-term sustainability and stability to the area.
A fifty-fifty sharing mechanism was to be triggered when the total allowable catch reached 9,700 tonnes. However, once that number was reached, the minister chose not to honour this agreement and maintained the 60-40 formula which favoured 40 fishers while disadvantaging over 700.
Will the minister commit today to honouring the original agreement?
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission
Randy Kamp Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Mr. Speaker, I welcome my colleague to his new role as the fisheries and oceans critic.
The decision he refers to was made after considerable discussion with a number of stakeholders, all stakeholders in fact. Various sharing options were considered. This one was implemented based on the principle of equity. The process was fair and open. The majority of participants support this decision, and this is the decision that we are staying with. Changing this decision would destabilize the industry, and we do not plan to do that.
Employment Insurance
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Monique Guay Rivière-du-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois's Bill C-395 was adopted at second reading by a majority in this House. It aims to correct an aberration in the Employment Insurance Act in order to ensure that the weeks of a labour dispute are not used to calculate benefits. The workers at Lebel-sur-Quévillon would have benefited from this bill.
Does the government intend to grant a royal recommendation to this bill so that it continues on to the Senate?
Employment Insurance
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Souris—Moose Mountain
Ed Komarnicki Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and to the Minister of Labour
Mr. Speaker, of course we would take an impartial position with respect to the bill. The government does not interfere in specifics like strike action and capping those days. Both employers and employees contribute to the program. It would be improper for us to involve ourselves in that area.
Member for Nepean--Carleton
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, like most members of Parliament, I am very proud of the hard-working police on Parliament Hill. They maintain a respectful balance between national security while maintaining an open public space for Canadians. Yet yesterday, the Prime Minister's parliamentary secretary thumbed his nose at the police and committed a major flagrant breach.
The government seems to think rules are for other people: zero tolerance for citizens; queue jumping for ministers.
We know the member was caught and publicly spanked, but will the government take responsibility and send a clear message that it does not tolerate that abusive attitude from its ministers?
Member for Nepean--Carleton
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, the RCMP officers on Parliament Hill work hard. They have a difficult responsibility and they do an outstanding job. They deserve our full support.
The member in question has spoken to this. I should point out that the member is a hard-working member. He delivers for his constituency. He makes an excellent contribution to this place and is a big asset to the government.
Public Safety
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Nina Grewal Fleetwood—Port Kells, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal public safety critic continues to side with criminals. First he talked about dramatically cutting sentences, and now he wants to delay our legislation to eliminate accelerated parole with a cost analysis.
Victims already know the true cost of crime. When will the Liberals do what is right and commit to keeping criminals behind bars?
Could the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Safety please update this House on our efforts to keep criminals behind bars?
Public Safety
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Dave MacKenzie Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for her hard work on this very important file.
The Liberal public safety critic continues to ask the wrong questions. It is becoming ever more clear that he is more concerned with a cost analysis than a justice analysis.
This is about right and wrong. We believe it is right for victims' rights to come first. We know it is wrong for criminals to be released after only serving one-sixth of their sentence.
We call on the Liberals to finally put justice first and support Bill C-39.
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
Rodger Cuzner Cape Breton—Canso, NS
Mr. Speaker, the crab plan was developed by an independent expert panel and signed off by a former minister of fisheries, Loyola Hearn.
It has been learned through access to information that DFO staff recommended reconvening this panel for a day in order to offer its interpretation of the rule and settle this issue once and for all.
I ask today, in order to bring peace and stability to this area and to this issue, will the minister act on the advice of DFO and agree to reconvene the expert panel for its final interpretation?
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission
Randy Kamp Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned earlier, this decision was made very carefully by the previous minister.
All stakeholders were involved in this. The process was fair and open. The majority of participants supported this decision where an equal share of the quota would go to all licences.
This was a decision made in equity, and in our opinion and as the minister has reviewed this decision, it is our conclusion that reconvening a panel would accomplish nothing and would destabilize the industry.
The Environment
Oral Questions
October 8th, 2010 / noon
Bruce Hyer Thunder Bay—Superior North, ON
Mr. Speaker, fall is here and heating costs are becoming a big concern for seniors and families across our country.
The eco-energy home energy retrofit program helped a lot. It created jobs. It cut greenhouse gas emissions. It reduced home heating costs. The government admitted that it worked and then it killed the program.
Will the government come to its senses and bring back a national home energy retrofit program to help Canadians this winter?
The Environment
Oral Questions
Christian Paradis Minister of Natural Resources
Mr. Speaker, we were clear in our last Speech from the Throne that we would review the entire suite of programs, and this is what we are doing.
I would add that $300 million is still flowing until the end of the calendar year for the home retrofit program.
We will get things done. We will do what we said in our last Speech from the Throne.
Oral Questions
Serge Ménard Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, QC
Mr. Speaker, the crime rate is going down, but the government insists on imposing its repressive version of justice that will cost Quebec and the provinces billions of dollars just to expand the prison system.
Instead of being blinded by his ideology, should the minister not invest in the targeted, rational, prevention-based measures that have been much more effective in fighting crime than the minister's elementary, partisan approach?
Oral Questions
Dave MacKenzie Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, we are committed to keeping law-abiding Canadian families safe in their homes, on their streets and in their communities. That means keeping dangerous criminals behind bars where they belong.
Our Conservative government is proud to be on the right side of the issue, the side of law-abiding Canadians and the side of victims who want justice.

Sixty seconds of people randomly hollering "Where's the beef?" to the guy who found a vintage shirt with the slogan on it. I guess Wendy's really want's to bring back that phrase. They should have called Coyote McCloud and re-run his 1984 hit with Clara Peller - "Where's the beef?".
The Kaplan Thaler Group
What is this song?
Hey, I was just wondering what the song is that's playing in the background in this commercial?
I was wondering the same thing
I was told by a woman from the Kaplan Thaler Group (company that made the ad) that it's Yes by Tim Myers, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet/itunes
His beef is with Mrs. Dunphy.
Who's the model that says "Nice shirt".
you cant find the song because the album hasn't been released yet. but it is Yes by tim myers.
This is definitely filmed in Austin, TX. the street scenes are on South Congress for sure. Too funny.
the very last girl is from the first hangover, she is the girl at the front desk of ceasers palace.
yeah i just thought of that
I thought for sure it was Austin Texas. Can't find confirmation but as an austinite I know those places are familiar.
I love the BG song. May I know what's the title and who's the artist of that song?

Improving the neighborhood
ALPENA -It is the goal of most communities to improve neighborhoods, provide quality housing and allow for people with low income be able to find comfortable living quarters. Over the course of the last 13 years the City of Alpena's Neighborhood Rental Rehab Program has helped to obtain these three goals locally.
The city makes funding requests through MSHDA and if money is allocated to the city it is then distributed to local property owners who agree to specific terms to make improvements on their rental units. The work can range from interior improvements, to new roofs, windows and stairs. The work, is completed by contractors who have completed the city's bid process do most of the work while not displacing the occupants of the rental.
City Manager Greg Sundin said since 2,000 the city has received five grants from MSHDA worth $1,032,410. With the money 71 rental units have been improved and 11 more are in the process of getting a makeover.
Sundin said in order to be considered for funds landlords must comply with several obligations set by MSHDA. The landlord makes a 25 percent match in investment into the project and also agrees to charge its renters a rate that is established by MSHDA. It must keep these rates in place for five years and can only rent to verified low income tenants and at no point can the rent be increased.
The first couple times the city received grants for rental property improvements there was a high demand for funds and they were distributed on a first come, first served basis, Sundin said. He said the response was so overwhelming that measures needed to be taken to reduce the demand. A updated regulation by MSHDA helped the city do that.
"It used to be a city-wide project, but we had people staying up all night in front of city hall the night before the pre-applications were accepted, but then the rules changed and we had to target specific areas," Sundin said. "It started out as kind of a lottery really."
Sundin said when a property owner applies for a portion of the grant money the city inspects the rental and makes sure the owner is on the city's rental inspection list. The city also reviews the application, inspects the unit, contacts the renters about the details of the project and puts it out for bid before the work begins. Building Official Don Gilmet said after the application process is done he conducts a housing quality standard inspection to be sure there are not other things in the unit that need to be done to bring the property up to the set standard.
"The standards could dictate if there are other things that need to be done, like additional electrical outlets, switches or something of that nature," Gilmet said. "It is a pass or fail inspection and anything that isn't there or in poor condition is addressed and then they have a wish list and I look into what they want to have done and then I do a cost estimate on what I expect the cost will be to have the work done. If they still want to proceed then we move on to a lead inspection and a report for the contractors about any lead that may be in the paint."
Carol and Michael Lund have six units on Ninth Avenue improved nearly five years ago. Carol Lund said the units received a new roof, windows and kitchen. Their obligations to MSHDA and the city are nearly complete and she thinks the program is a benefit to not only property owners, but the renters and the entire area as well.
"The program is absolutely perfect and we are absolutely thrilled by the assistance that was provided and with the way things turned out," Lund said. "We have always tried to provide affordable housing to low income people and quality living areas. When the work was complete you could really see the pride our tenants took in taking care of the remodeling and how proud they were to have their homes improved. It is a tremendous program and I would recommend it to anyone."
Lund said after seeing the work that was done to the property she noticed others who lived in the neighborhood making improvements of their own. She said there were some that were small and some larger, but no matter the size it helped make the neighborhood a little more appealing.
Sundin said he has noticed the same things. He said it is not uncommon for one improvement to be made with the help of the program and then others follow suit, even without the financial assistance. He said the improved property is beneficial to everyone.
"The city benefits in several ways because of this," Sundin said. "It provides affordable prices and stability for what the rent is going to be for at least five years. It has had in many cases a significant impact on the neighborhoods. People see improvements and decide they need to do something as well. The program has done a lot of good and I hope to keep it around for as long as we can."

Sustainability Institute Hall, the Golisano Institute for Sustainability's new headquarters on the RIT campus was dedicated in mid-April 2013. The 84,000-square-foot facility is a state-of-the-art laboratory for scientific discovery and experiential learning. The building is home to GIS' master's degree and Ph.D. programs in sustainability and architecture. Research labs, student work areas, classrooms and conference rooms, a 55-seat auditorium and office suites all open onto a light-filled, four-story galleria space. The facility was designed and constructed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards of the U.S. Green Building Council, and it was awarded LEED Platinum status in March 2014. Sustainability Institute Hall was cited by the Green Business Council as a "notable project" certified in New York State in 2014. RIT has one other LEED Platinum (University Services Center) and one LEED Gold (Engineering Technology Hall) facility, but the GIS building is the largest and most advanced project to date. Among the building's outstanding features are:
(A photo-timeline of the building construction is available here)
Welcome to the Institute
First floor galleria
GIS administrative offices
Flat panels display building environmental data in real time
Microgrid Testbed facilities on the first floor

Contains high amount of Arsenic
Posted by Reviewer2209625 on Jul 14, 2013
I noticed from consumer Report July 12, 2013, that Green Vibrance contained highest level of Arsenic. The amount of Arsenic in Green Vibrance is by factors higher than in any other tested green products. FDP proposed to limit Arsenic to 10 ppm in apple juice. Green Vibrance contains 4-8 times that much of Arsenic per serving scope. I had several kg Green Vibrance in my store which I through away upon reading the Conumer Report from july 12. 2013.
Definitely worth buying!

Many green food blends do not do it as they are afraid of competitor copying the formula or try to introduce pixel dust into it (for example, adding 1 mg of ingredient in a undisclosed mixture so that they can write the name of the ingredient list). Let's look at the long ingredient list! There is about 55% green blend here. Most of them are juices so you actually get more nutrients per mg. Most are organic as well. There is 3 mg of Alaria here (not sure if it helps). There are 700 mg of lecithin and quite a lot of fibers which is often considered as cheap fillers. Not that they are bad, they are just not value for money. For the antioxidants, it is quite a nice combination that covers different areas though it is somewhat low in weight. The other benefits of these antioxidants may not work at this dose but it can even do its job as an antioxidant. There are quite a good support for liver, one of the most important organs that has to deal with the daily toxins in the food and environment. There are significant amount of adaptogens and immune support. It is also nice that there are 25 billion of probiotics though it is at date of manufacture so some will probably die over time. The enzyme complexes are pretty low in activity but there isn't much to digest or breakdown. There are quite generous amount of food based minerals and Vitamin D. As for the tonics, they are very low in weight as well. There are 2mg of cayenne pepper when people are taking a capsule of 500mg of cayenne. Overall if you ignore those with low weight, you still end up with 40-50 health enhancing food/extracts! The taste is quite light and palatable for beginner. Once you get used to it, you will find that you actually crave for it! (at least in my case). The powder mixes easily with water. This is probably the best for those who do not take additional supplements/green food blend. One scoop in the morning should help to jumpstart the day. Pricewise, it is not expensive, considering that it costs about $1 per scoop and it can replace your morning coffee etc. Buy the larger container to save a bit more!

I have been using this product for over 2 years. I honestly belief that it's one of the best products I've ever used. I'm diabetic, was losing my teeth, my gums were very weak. Now I have no more problems with either one. I have more energy to do exercise and recover faster. I just love this product.
it has organic arsenic... there is a difference

customers need to do their research. organic arsenic exists also in seafood. organic arsenic is not processed in our bodies like INORGANIC arsenic. inorganic arsenic is deadly.
Great Product!

I have been taking this product for the last few weeks and I have noticed a change in my energy level which has increased tremendously and as well I just received the results from blood work taken after 10 days on this product and the results were outstanding. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking to improve there nutritional intake. I mix the power in a smoothly every morning which hides the terrible flavor that the powder has when just mixed with water or even juice. Buy the two months supply to offset the high cost of this supplement.
Drink it up

I've been drinking green powdered drinks since the begining of the year, I started with Trader Joe's Super Green Drink Powder and needed to replace my empty container when I decided to do some research on other similar products out there. After alot of reading I discovered that not all green powdered drinks are the same, some contain fillers for bulk, some are grass heavy, some have lower quality ingredients. This blend is a well rounded powder with quality ingredients at a fair price. It tastes good and I feel good. Try it for a couple months and see for your self.
This about covers it!!!

Green Vibrance is awesome, by far the most complete greens superfood I've seen and I've checked them out! I buy a bunch of those Vitamin Waters, one for each day, take a couple sips out, then put the serving of Green Vibrance in and shake it up... it tastes great! I actually look forward to doing this for myself every day! No idea what it tastes like with water.
Best green supplement I've foud

I've compared the ingredient list of many green supplements. Green Vibrance definitely offers the most value for the punch. It has twice the concentration of many important ingredients compared to competitors. Great range of "superfoods." Good stuff. Great value at iHerb's prices, esp. in the larger sizes.

My daughter and son-in-law introduced me to this product. My daughter said her hair dresser wanted to know what she was taking as her hair had improved so much. At that time my hair was thinning because of much stress due to health problems. I started to take Green Vibrance also. Soon I saw a lot of new growth along the forehead! I was delighted! I feel better taking this product and my hair stopped falling out at such a rapid pace, while the new hair growth just continued. I am a happy camper!
Took a little getting used to...

But we did it and it was worth it. We put it in a fruit smoothy (just fruit in the vita-mix) and we don't even notice the taste anymore. Love the nutritional benefits. Excellent product!
