I tried VT smoked pepperoni. It was kinda bland and almost reminded me of the sweet summer sausage you get in them gift boxes at christmas. For $21/LB I'd rather buy Filet Mignon.
Funny you should mention summer sausage. I was thinking about using some on a pie next time. Can't decide on chopped, shredded, sliced, etc.
I just got the last 4 at my Cost Plus in Oceanside CA
Atta Boy!!
Bob,You are so funny! I love nonsense! John K
Why thank you.... so do I. I do hope your daughter is getting better though.
Good to hear John...I know she did not want to have to spend the vacation inside.Last time I checked my grandparenting folder it said equal parts of sugar, spice, and everything nice. Enjoy your stay, weather back home here in NC is a real drag right now as you may know. You lucky dog! Bob
This pepperoni is damn good. Why was it discontinued at world market? Is the company gone?
Whole Foods carries every VT Smoke and Cure product EXCEPT the pepperoni. The manager was very willing to special order it for me but has no intention of adding it to their regularly stocked items?!?!
I think this company was in RI.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Bedlam softball returns to the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium on Friday, May 10 at 6 p.m. as No. 1 Oklahoma and Oklahoma State kick off the softball edition of The Bedlam Series, the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America and USA Softball announced today. General Admission Tickets ($8) will be available at the ASA Hall of Fame Complex ticket window beginning at 5:30 p.m. ASA/USA Softball will also be providing a LIVE stream of the game, including in-game commentary. Links for the streaming, live stats and up-to-date weather and game information can be found at USASoftball.com. Updates can also be found on ASA/USA Softball's Facebook and Twitter pages.
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will meet three times this season with the first on neutral territory in Oklahoma City, home of the NCAA Women's College World Series (WCWS) where both teams appeared in 2011. The teams will meet again in Norman on May 11 and in Stillwater on May 12. The Cowgirls come into the game with a strong pitching staff, led by senior Kat Espinosa (Houston, Texas), who leads the team in innings pitched and strikeouts, and junior Simone Freeman (Sydney, Australia). Oklahoma State also boasts a powerful offense with Tarah Ettinger (Plainfield, Ill.) leading the team with a .333 batting average, seven home runs and 31 RBI.
"We are looking forward to the Bedlam softball game in Oklahoma City," said OSU Head Coach Rich Wieligman. "The folks at ASA/USA Softball have always run a first-class facility, and we're thankful that we have the opportunity to play at the best softball stadium in the country. We have a difficult challenge ahead of us in facing the top-ranked team in the country, and I believe our players are up to the task."
Coming into the game as the top-team in the country, the Sooners return to the ASA Hall of Fame Complex for the first time since their runner-up finish at the 2012 NCAA WCWS. The Sooner squad features three athletes who were recently named a Top 10 Finalist for the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Award: Keilani Ricketts (San Jose, Calif.), the reigning USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year, Michelle Gascoigne (Benicia, Calif.) and Lauren Chamberlain (Trabuco Canyon, Calif.). The Sooners roster also includes Jessica Shults (Valencia, Calif.) who, along with Ricketts, helped lead the USA Softball Women's National Team to a sixth World Cup of Softball title and a silver-medal finish at the International Softball Federation (ISF) Women's World Championship in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada last summer. Chamberlain, Destinee Martinez (Corona, Calif.) and Shelby Pendley (Rio Rancho, N.M.) also have previous USA Softball experience as members of the 2010-11 USA Softball Junior Women's National Team. All three claimed a Gold Medal at the 2010 Pan American Championship (18-Under) in Bogota, Colombia while Chamberlain and Martinez helped secure the program's second-consecutive Gold Medal at the 2011 International Softball Federation (ISF) Junior Women's World Championship in Cape Town, South Africa.
"Playing at the Hall of Fame Stadium always has a significant meaning to it," said Ricketts. "Having the opportunity to play the biggest rivalry game in the state of Oklahoma at the stadium just makes the rivalry even more meaningful."
The Bedlam game is part of an exciting line-up of events at the ASA Hall of Fame Complex. The 2013 events include the 2013 NCAA WCWS (May 30-June 6) and the World Cup of Softball VIII (July 11-14), including the Slow Pitch Showdown and Border Battle V (July 11). Tickets for the World Cup of Softball VIII are available at http://www.softballoutlet.com/shop_tickets.asp. You can also visit ASASoftball.com to find a complete list of 2013 events at the ASA Hall of Fame Complex.In conjunction with the Bedlam game, ASA and the Oklahoman newspaper will be running a paper drive to benefit North Highland Elementary School in Oklahoma City. Fans are encouraged to bring a ream of white copy paper and in exchange they will receive a FREE ASA Complex souvenir drink and hot dog. *Limited to one per person and no refills.*

I am pretty sure that the blurred out bag of flour in the video is this one, with the code 50111 as shown at 3:18 in the video: http://www.professionalbakingsolutions.com/product/all-trumps-enriched-flour-50-lb/50111000?mct=Flour&ct=high-gluten&typ=Type.I hope that this thread doesn't turn into another debate between bromates and no bromates. There are already several threads on the forum that can be searched and studied on this subject.Peter
That cracks me up everytime I see it Craig. As far as bromated flours or stronger flours being easier to use and requiring less skill is hog wash. Stronger flours are just as difficult to make a good pizza with as a weaker flour, you just have to know how to make the adjustments. Same with bromated flours versus non bromated flours. He also makes it sound like only the big chain guys like Domino's and PH are using bromated flours. I'm not sure that is true either.
And I think that's really all the video is saying.
I think Jeff's overall point was that pizza started out being a high quality something that dedicated professionals made. Pizza ended up being a low quality something that anybody with a business plan could sell. Chemically sterioded flours were a part of that whole transition, among other things.
So Finally, here is the list of what I consider to be the best pizzerias in the world
To be fair, Jeff doesn't say bromated flour makes low quality pizza. He's saying that makers of low-quality pizza are relying on bromated flour.
This is the Twinkie of flours
The quality of the (NY street) pizza is maybe not quite as high
"We went from super high end [pointing to Caputo] to super low end [pointing to All Trumps], from super natural, to super chemically..."
Jeff isn't saying you can't make good pizza from bromated flour.
Yes, he is. The video looks at bromate from a safety perspective as well as a quality one. It is crystal clear that he feels bromated flour is low quality flour.
He also makes it sound like only the big chain guys like Domino's and PH are using bromated flours. I'm not sure that is true either.
I question Jeff's statement that about 99% of pizzerias use bromated flours. Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's and Little Caesars alone account for about 27% of all stores in the U.S. Other chains represent about 15% of the pie, and independents represent close to 60%. The four big chains mentioned above account for about 30% of total U.S. pizza sales (about $22B annually). So, that 99% number looks suspect to me.
Like I commented above. The video is not an informational piece. It's pure propaganda for his employees.

I'd been following Alix Golden for awhile now, having stumbled upon her blog (and promptly falling in love). She recently published a book, and since I love to chat it up with creators, I asked to interview her. So here it is:
1. GIRL IN THE MIRROR is your first novel. I'd love to hear about your process. How long did it take you to write GIRL IN THE MIRROR?
It took 2 years from the time I wrote the first word until I finished my first draft. There was a lot of things going on in my life during the time I was writing. I hope that next time, it won't take quite that long.
2. How much time did it take for me to find a publisher? How many query letters did you send out? Did you receive a lot of rejections at first? (Or did you self-publish? If so – what was that process like?)
I never tried traditional publishing. I decided to publish myself to retain control over the process. Self publishing is a lot of work, more work than I imagined. I never thought about designing a cover or choosing the font… When you self publish, writing the book becomes the easy part. The real work begins when you're trying to get it on the shelf.
That depends on what I'm writing. If I'm writing a regular scene with dialogue and interactions, I can write in any situation. It could be a party going on around me and I could write. If I'm trying to write a sex scene, I need to be alone with music to write the scene. The mood has to be set to be realistic.
I've had a few people look over my work to catch things I may have missed. After you've been staring at words for months on end, you start to miss the obvious mistakes. Every writer should have someone review their work before printing. I was told once that you should let someone that knows more about writing than you do to read your work. It's great advice.
It's creating an alternate world. When I was writing this novel, my mother was diagnosed with cancer, and passed while I was writing. When you're telling the story, you get an opportunity to take a break from your real life.
I've already started working on the next novel. The working title is The Price of Paper, but it will probably change.
It will be released on September 1st. It will be available on Amazon, but I'm not sure about retail stores. You will be able to walk into a retail store and have them place a special order for the book, but the decision to carry it in stock on the shelf is made by the bookstore, not by me. You can always find links to all of my work on my website:

Eva Mendes Reveals All
Eva Mendes—the gorgeous star of Training Day, Hitch, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Ghost Rider, and most recently the brilliant We Own the Night featuring Mark Wahlberg and our old friend Joaquin Phoenix—is also the new face of our winter anti-fur campaign. Once you've had a long look at this stunning new anti-fur ad, take a deep breath and check out what Eva had to say when she sat down with us for this PETA Files exclusive interview about what led her to speak out about the cruel treatment of animals in the fur industry:
How did you come to get involved with helping animals? Did you have any animal companions growing up?
I love animals, but I hadn't had a pet since I was a kid. I recently got a dog and he's not only made me a happier girl—he's made me much more sympathetic to animal rights. I look at my beautiful dog and think, "Of course I'd never eat him or skin him for his fur, so why would I be okay with eating a cow or wearing a cheetah?" It's just not right. It's a contradiction.
Do you have any animals? Can you tell us about them?
I recently got the most beautiful dog in the world! He's the sweetest thing ever. He's fully trained and all his commands are in French. Too cute! So I'm learning French and he's learning Spanish!
What drew you to the idea of working with PETA on our "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" Campaign?
I wasn't familiar with PETA early in my career. I remember having my first premiere in New York City and being so naive that I didn't have a coat with me. My stylist sent me a fur wrap for the evening and I ignorantly wore it.
PETA then wrote me a beautiful letter commenting on my less-than-educated choice. I was so impressed that I vowed to them and myself to never wear real fur on the red carpet or in my life again.
As a fashion icon in Hollywood, do you find that people put pressure on you to wear fur on the red carpet? If so, how do you handle that?
A lot of the high-end designers are unfortunately still big on fur, but I simply let them know that I won't wear it on the red carpet or for photo shoots. People are pretty respectful and don't try to pressure me to wear fur (smart for them … haha).
Can you tell us about the projects you are working on right now and also about your film We Own The Night?
We Own The Night is a crime thriller set in the late 1980s about two brothers on opposite sides of the law. I play the girlfriend of Joaquin Phoenix, a manager for a club involved with the Russian Mafia, whose brother (played by Mark Wahlberg) is a cop targeting the Mafia for drug involvement. It's a great cast, and it was such a thrill to play opposite actors like Joaquin, Mark, and Robert Duvall. I've also just finished filming The Women, which was very cool, and I'm just starting a really amazing project called The Spirit.
What issue involving animals is dearest to your heart? Also, you have a lot of fans out there which gives you a powerful platform to reach people and make a difference: What is your message to them about having compassion and getting active to help animals?
I'd say the closest animal rights issue to me right now is being anti-fur. I feel like in recent years, due to pop culture, fur has made a comeback. Some people still see wearing fur as glamorous and a sign of prosperity. Personally I think wearing a baby chinchilla says, "I'm ignorant," vs. saying "I'm a badass." I don't think you can force people to change their attitudes, but you can help to educate them and to lead by example. … There are way too many amazing faux fur options out there for people to still be wearing real fur. I want people to know that there are options; that killing a poor animal and wearing it isn't cool. But respecting all life forms is cool. Very cool.
Commenting is closed.
Eva Mendes is really hot! She has a nice and sexy bum!
I can't stand PETA, but if she wants to go naked that's fine with me.
lovely, lovely ad series. keep up the good work!
cool site, I really like Eva Mendes
if possible photo with me also
Although I adore Miss Mendez very Much I am saddened that she has chose to support a animal rights advocacy group such as PETA who have taken radical actions to support their cause.I believe that these radical actions only hurt their image and sets their causes back and I also feel that these people are more intrested in portraying themeselves as some sort modern day robin hoods.
i personally think fur is ugly AND OLD FASHIONED! If you lived in the 40's then i guess fur was popular but why now? It is horrible to think someone slaughtered an animal for you to wear let alone down a red carpet… ONCE! Celebrities… get it straight… DONT WEAR FUR! it only makes you look like a wildebeast anyways!
I have only one suggestion for everybody who thinks that wearing furs is OK just go and visit a fur farm. And we'll talk about it later…. This advice is even for George "the animals that are raised to be Fur live much longer lives than their wild counter parts. they are raised in moderate temperatures. Fed the best food. medical treatment as needed." WHAT??? hey buddy where did this come from?. I can understand why people eat meat but wearing furs I swear to GOD I will never understand!!! Speaking from an AESTHETIC point of view furs are damn ugly! Women who have beautiful bodies do not need furs to cover the curves. They don't need to look like some cavemen. Rich people choose to wear furs not because they are beautiful or graceful if you think the caveman is graceful than this point might be arguable but because furs are a sign of WEALTH. And out of snobbism they will wear absolutely anything that will show others they have the $$$.
Jlo you have to lern!!!! Eva is a real woman with good heart she es beautiful outside and inside jlo i see just ugly because she is ugly inside
i would give up meat for ever for you
i like contact eva
oh my god i hate those who tell people what to do despite the fact that they are the only ones who can afford those accessories! it has nothing to do with ms. mendes i find her shape just angelic
Hi where can I purchase this poster. And please guys avoid using Pam and Eva's names in the same sentence.
Rick I'm shocked that you are not ashamed of posting such digusting and hateful comments. I really pity you.
Yeah!! now Tommy Lee is Vegetarian too!!!!Rock on!!!
Eva there's only one thing to tell u…. U ROCK GIRL….GOOOOOO GIRLLL POWERRRRRRR

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (598 votes).
In short: Really nice for a first raceIn full: My first ever half and one I hold dearly. It's a very cold time of year to run but you feel warm inside when you complete it. Crowds were great considering the temperature. Certainly a good one for beginners - I've been running ever since!Date of review: November 19, 2012
In short: Great race - one for the PB huntersDate of review: March 15, 2010
In short: The start times for each race were too close together... Baggage a complete shamblesIn full: race starts were a complete mix up, the start times for each race were too close together.should have started with the 13.1. then had a 15 min interval before the shorter races.Baggage hell is the only way to describe it, cold and hungry at the end and a 90 min wait to retreive bag.Venue was good a lot more work will need to go into the organisation to redeem the reputation of this race.Date of review: March 15, 2010
In short: Chaotic start but pleasant run once goingIn full: Any race in February is going to be at the mercy of rain or worse, but as a first timer and new runner I was a bit lost. The baggage drop was chaotic and in the end descended into a free for all. I got to the back of the field where I belonged for the start and found myself with the dog walkers and pram pushers, hence the 6+ minutes to find the start line. The marshalls on the route were fantastic in their support and many thanks are due to them. The end of the race was a bit chaotic as well - people were running after me to swipe my bib number. I was disappointed not to get any sort of goody bag - having eventually got my kit back and showered the tea stand was packing up. It was a long walk back to the town centre car parks to get some fluids.I did get a PB - but I am a slow "runner"I checked my time on the Monday and again later in the week - my Bib time was now 7 seconds longer when I checked the second time for some reason.As a newcomer to running I will probably do it again, but come more prepared next time.Date of review: March 3, 2010
In short: C Grade - could do better !!In full: Overall, sorry to say, but an average race. The good points just outweigh the bad. I will be back again as it is a local race to me and it's a good quality field. There are some significant areas the organisers need to manage better and other areas that are very good. If the organisers can sort out the race's 'FRAYED EDGES' they'll have a truly great race on their hands. Read on if you're interested.BAD POINTS:1)The control at the start is awful. I spent 4 miles overtaking people who were directed to the sub 1hr:20 zone when they were clearly +2hr runners (not the runners fault).2)The bag drop tent didn't seem very well managed at all. 3)The finish area was a right mess.People were all over the place & I had to go back for my medal because I missed the people handing them out. 4)No Goody-bag either, even a bottle of water and a Mars Bar (other Chocolate bars are available) would have been nice. GOOD POINTS:1)Fast flattish course. 2)Very well marshalled (on route).3)Good local support. 4)Excellent medal. 5)Great water stations (plenty & in right place)SEE YOU NEXT YEAR :-)Date of review: March 3, 2010
In short: Always a great run, can seem tough over the motorways - but worth the tripIn full: Thank you again for a fantastically organised event. It wouldn't be Wokingham 1/2 without bad weather - even when ran in May they were unlucky as it was exceptionally hot - all part of the experience. Any runner with sense will judge the weather and prepare accordingly. I have done Wokingham for a few years now and it really starts my year off on a good foot(pardon the pun!).Again though, there really does need to be a toilet at one of the water stations (7mile), I as well as many others, end up nipping behind trees - not nice for a lady - but a common runners problem!As for comment about goodies at the end - Reading Road Runners get Lucozade to attend Bramley event and they give away recovery bars, gels and drinks. Might be worth considering them in future (though I do think they were at Wokingham in 2009) to keep your costs down. Marshals are FANTASTIC, they clap and encourage all the way around - great motivators. Well doneDate of review: February 27, 2010
In short: Nice race ruined by the lack of organisation at the start.In full: A very nice scenic route which is relatively flat, so good potential for a quick time. Unfortunately this race was ruined by the complete shambles that was the bag check in at the start area.Hanging around for half an hour in the wind and rain is not the ideal preparation for the start of a race. In the end had to abandon bags in the massage tent, due to the rather unhelpful announcer telling everyone the race was about to start.This was a shame because otherwise the race was well marshalled throughout the route.Date of review: February 26, 2010
In short: A quick, scenic course. With a couple of corrections then it will be a cracker of an event.In full: A good flat, quick scenic course. Worth an early year PB attempt. With a couple of small corrections - mainly at the start then this really would be a cracker of an event. The rain was a shock compared to last year`s event and didn`t help before the start. All said and done still a good event. Thanks for all your hard work. Roll on next year.Date of review: February 25, 2010
In short: A fast, flat and scenic race.In full: I really enjoyed this race and would definitely do it again. The route went entirely through scenic countryside and was very flat so it was fast and a really nice environment.It was quite crowded for the first mile or so but then spread out a bit and I felt there was plenty of room to pass people or let others passed me. The marshals and locals turning out along the route were brilliant. I think every marshal I passed was either clapping or cheering and it always helps me keep up the pace when the vibe around is really positive like that..There were problems at the start with the slippery mud and queues around the baggage tent but I think the blame should not land entirely on the organisers. It seemed to me that a lot of runners, including myself, left it quite late to hand in their bags as they wanted to leave on their warm clothes and waterproofs as long as possible. This led to a sudden rush with about 15 minutes left before the start. It could have been better organised with separate in and out points and maybe some boards to walk on the grass but the downpour before it was unusually long and heavy so they weren't regular circumstances.A bit disappointing that there was no goody bag at the finish as it wasn't a cheap race but the medal was very nice.Well worth doing if you want a pop at your PB in amongst some nice scenery.Date of review: February 24, 2010
In short: A good flat traffic free event through countryside and villages, not spoiled by the rain!Date of review: February 24, 2010

Simple and Stunning Curls
Curls are lovely and stunning especially to short luminous blonde hair like this hairdo styled by Franck Provost. It is simple yet stunning in every way you can wear it indoors or outdoors, nighttime or daytime although it would make for a perfect summer hair fashion. Girls with natural curls can apply mousse to hold the ringlets and hair lotion for fewer frizzes. Straight hair can be curled using hair tongs.

Little changes in your everyday routine could solve your sleeping problems
Your date with your pillow every night is an important one�but too often, it�s put off for a rerun of your favorite show instead. According to a poll by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), 62 percent of Americans experience trouble sleeping a few nights a week or more. Dr. William Kohler, assistant medical director of the Sleep Center at the University Community Hospital in Tampa, Fla., says maintaining healthy sleep hygiene is important to keeping your sleep schedule on track and should be the first approach to help any sleep issues. �The bedroom should be used for sleep and sex only not for reading, watching TV, and computers, although some people do benefit from reading or listening to music before bed. But for most, it needs to be used just for sleep,� says Kohler. Believe it or not, though, a good night�s sleep starts even before you get to the bedroom. Many of the things you do on a daily basis can help prime you for proper sleep. Here are just a few. Diet You should know to avoid caffeine in the latter half of the day, but it�s also smart to schedule your dinner earlier in the evening and make it a smaller meal than most, Kohler says. If you hate going to bed hungry, try a light snack just before bedtime, but make it something containing tryptophan, like cheese, milk, bananas, turkey or nuts. And keep it small. Walking �Get out of the house for a walk in the morning and at night�that will help reset your internal clock,� says Michael Sandler, co-author of Barefoot Walking: Free Your Feet to Minimize Impact, Maximize Efficiency, and Discover the Pleasure of Getting in Touch with the Earth. Our bodies associate light with being awake and darkness with sleep, so you can give it a nudge at the right times by spending a few moments outside�and the light activity will help calm and relax your mind. Breathing Anxiety, which keeps many people awake at night, can be battled with simple breathing techniques. Dr. Patricia Gerbarg, co-author of The Healing Power of the Breath, suggests �coherent breathing� in particular for sleep troubles. That technique involves reducing your breath rate to about five breaths per minute to help calm and relax your mind. Check out detailed instructions for this technique in an exclusive excerpt from her book and guided audio meditation.�Practicing the exercise once or twice a day can help your body feel more relaxed and less anxious, which can improve your overall sleep quality. Exercising A just-released NSF poll suggests that one of your most powerful weapons against sleep troubles may be exercise. The 2013 Sleep in America study compared the overall sleep quality of vigorous, moderate and light exercisers compared to non-exercisers or no activity. The poll showed the participants who considered themselves vigorous (83 percent), moderate (77 percent) and light (76 percent) exercisers reported �very good or fairly good� overall sleep quality, while�the group that categorized themselves as non-exercisers or no activity reported only 56 percent of �very good or fairly good� overall sleep quality. �Vigorous exercise is better than mild�although studies show any level of exercise will improve sleep quality as opposed�to none,� says Kohler. He recommends exercising during the day and no later than four hours before bedtime�to help maintain a good sleep schedule. Sitting The Sleep in America poll also found a link between sitting and sleeping. The proportion of those who spent less than 6 hours sitting a day and 6 to 8 hours sitting a day (22 percent and 25 percent) and reported very good sleep quality, was noticeably higher than those who spent 8 to less than 10 hours and less than 10 hours sitting a day (15 percent and 12�percent).

Positioning Once you�re back in bed, there�s one more thing you can do to ensure better sleep�don�t try to reinvent the wheel. �You're naturally going to gravitate toward a position that you feel best sleeping in,� so don�t try to force yourself into a different one, Dr. Steven Park, author of Sleep, Interrupted and clinical assistant professor of otolaryngology at New York Medical College in Valhalla, N.Y. told WebMD. The majority of Americans sleep on their side�a position experts tend to recommend�but if you�re one of the few stomach-sleepers, own it proudly.

Each spring, veterinary clinics get calls from frantic owners who are worried because they forgot to give their dogs monthly heartworm preventatives over the winter months. According to the American Heartworm Society, this is cause to worry, since heartworms can affect dogs during all seasons, depending on where you live.
Call your veterinarian to schedule your dog an appointment to test for heartworms approximately seven months after the last dosage of heartworm preventative was given, because that is how old the worms must be to be diagnosed. In the meantime, you should start your canine back on a monthly heartworm preventative medication.
According to VCA Animal Hospitals, heartworm disease in dogs is widespread all throughout the U.S., but is most common along the eastern and Gulf coasts and in the Mississippi River valley. Although there is always a risk, your dog is most at risk when mosquitoes are feeding, since these insects are the carriers of the disease. The average daily temperature must be more than 64 degrees Fahrenheit for a month for mosquitoes to feed, which is why the summer months are particularly high-risk and why the warmer southern states have a higher incidence of heartworm disease.
Look for a heartworm preventative medication that also kills intestinal parasites and prevents fleas and ticks in dogs. Ticks are particularly common during the spring and summer months. Ticks can spread and cause Lyme disease in dogs and humans.

Hi!Originally Posted by tdol
It` a very good idea to which I fully subscribe.
I had a very unpleasant surprise when a newbie contacted me on e-mail several times asking for help. It was something related to other problems [transfer of money - etc, etc.] which had nothing to do with this site dedicated to those who want to improve their knowledge of English. I told her I could not be of any help -it was something illegal and I have never had any problems with legal authorities in my country. Finally , she understood but not before warning her about what I was going to do if she would insist on that. I hope you understand what I have been trying to tell you.
Otherwise, everything is ok and I have always enjoyed being here with you.
If I have any ideas I will surely share to you.
All the best,

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary AnswersYesterday, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu signed protocols to establish diplomatic ties and to reopen the border between their two countries. Secretary Clinton said:"We had a good night in Zurich, watching the signing of the protocols between Turkey and Armenia. And now the process continues. We, obviously, are committed to doing everything we can to build on the milestone that was reached today, but it's challenging. And there is a lot of very difficult, complex issues that have to continually be discussed and worked out. But I am very pleased that we were able to get the protocols signed, and now we move on to the next phase of this."
Following the signing, the Armenians and Turks will submit the protocols to their respective parliaments for approval. For more information, the Secretary gave a readout of the ceremony while she was en route to London and a senior State Department official provided background in advance of the Secretary's trip to Europe.
Linda in Texas writes:
Nice work, Secretary Clinton.
Alyssa in Illinois writes:
I think all countries that border each other should have friendly relations.
Lisa in Ohio writes:
I have a ?, if radical muslims beliefs r originating in Saudi Arabia (like the majority of hijackers on 911) and it's being exported from there, what the heck r we doing? Another ? : why are the exposed crooks in office so hard to fire? Cost? Recall can't possibly cost as much as what they're doing to the confidence of this nation. The longer the necessary house cleaning is delayed the dirtier it'll get. Oh and have you noticed that the states aren't as united as they used 2 be? little fiefdoms. Who's afraid of getting shot for speaking up? Certainly not I. No wonder they call me nuts. and I call them cowards.
Ron in New York writes:
Is Russia helping with this "RESET"?
If Russia has a role in these protocols, it could be the beginning of a synergy of "RESETS". I hope to see a replication of U.S.-Russia initiatives in problem-solving on geographic, policical and economic issues. If we do enough resets; we can move up to Diplomatic "Plug and Play". to
Melinda in Texas writes:
Sec of State Clinton Thank you for doing a good job. Efforts toward peace relating to Turkey and Armenia-opening borders and also minds to create hope for security and world peace!
Cafer in Turkey writes:
Thank you CLINTON. We know you are friend of Turks. With your advisable help, we are ready to solve all problem.
This is many Turks feel in Ankara.
Again thanks for your effort.
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
Wow! From the outset there was the possibility that this might fall apart. We saw these concerns expressed at the background briefing before Secretary Clinton departed. But the way she and her staff managed to salvage these protocols was hugely impressive.
Rakhman in Azerbaijan writes:
It does not change anything.Armenia always will be an enemy of Turkey and Azerbaijan!
Veronika in Spain writes:
Maybe it would be adecuate to mention the good services of the Swiss diplomatic corps during more than a year, in particular the competent and useful contribution of Madame Micheline Calmy-Rey, the Swiss Foreign Minister, who facilitated brokering this protocol. Many thanks to Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton to honour and thus underline the importance of this step with her presence and her succesful last minute intervention in convincing the parties to come together in spite of the fragility of this endeavour. Two wonderful women's real contributions to a piece of world peace. May this continue in other troubled spots as well.
Allen in Colorado writes:
Congratulations, Mrs. Secretary. I'm happy both countries' leadership are moving forward. It was a historic event, and I know the world will endorse this. I'm optimistic the citizens of both nations will ratify the protocols, and re-establish good ties.
Aram in California writes:
Ratifying these disastrous protocols would mean Armenia legally and irreversibly approving Turkey's notorious preconditions:
1. Turkey will forever keep 90% of indigenous Armenian lands (Western Armenia and Cilicia) and be allowed to commit many more rounds of blockade, hostility, oppression, rape, murder, massacre and genocide with impunity;
2. The veracity of the Armenian Genocide -- an incontestable fact and ongoing, unparalleled crime against humanity -- is "in question," and "in the spirit of good neighborly relations," centuries of more research "is required" to determine "what really happened in 1915?";
3. All of Artsakh (Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh) -- indigenous Armenian land -- will be given to and forever be part of Azerbaijan.
Furthermore, it is important to point out that Western nations and Israel just want to fast track the opening and recognition of the current borders for energy, security and trade exploitation. They don't give a darn about Armenian democracy, justice, rights and security. They should be ashamed of themselves!
And, for the second time this century, Switzerland is mediating/hosting negotiations that are most detrimental to the Armenian Cause. In 1923, the Treaty of Lausanne handed all of Western Armenia and Cilicia to Turkey. A 2009 accord based on these anti-Armenian protocols will verify and stamp the disastrous Lausanne legacy once and for all!
I call on all people of moral conscience, especially human rights and justice advocates worldwide, to join members and friends of the Armenian Nation in making sure that these unacceptable protocols are NEVER ratified and that full restorative justice is served to the Armenian people!
Chris in California writes:
This will not stick, Armenians and Turks will never become friends as long as Ankara does not acknowledge the history of the Armenian Genocide and Historical Armenian lands not restored, Wilsonian Armenian proposed by Woodrow Wilson.
Cindy in Washington writes:
I am so proud that you are representing our Country, and that your talents, knowledge and dedication to your job resulted in a successful negotiation when things had fallen apart between Turkey and Armenia. Truly impressive.
I could not be more proud of you, except if you were President. Maybe in a few years?
Eric in New Mexico writes:
It's good to see two nations finally and formally put to rest a long standing co-national tragedy almost 100 years on.
That the U.S. and Russia worked to the same ends to help them achieve this says a lot I think about U.S./Russia relations becoming a lot more functional in general, rather than dysfunctional.
However, after some of the things I've heard in the press comming from the Turkish PM lately, I would strongly suggest that Sec. Gates on his way back from Asia, pay him a courtesy call and present all the evidence of Iran's involvement in murder and mayhem in the region.
Because if the Turkish PM thinks Iran's hands have no blood on them, there's at least 85,000 dead Iraqi's who will contest that before Allah.
The Golden Mosque bombing was carried out by al-quaida, but according to at least one Iraqi official at the time, Iran had supplied AQI with the RDX (explosive) to do the job, and the official had seen the proof.
Kind of goes without saying that when a world leader is fooling themselves like this, it behooves the U.S. to do the traditional thing, and remove their blinders and shed a bright light on the subject.
Here's a fellow NATO member that seems to be clueless about the threats (multiple) we all face from Iran, and if we all arn't on the same page, with a common understanding of what the facts are, then how the heck can anyone expect to achieve the level of international cooperation neccessary to deal with the threats effectively?
While folks at Dept of State ponder what I know to be true here, let me just say from a personal standpoint that as long as world leaders don't utter bone-headed platitudes supporting a terrorist lead government with demonstatable genocidal intent, I won't have to yell at them on Dipnote...
Berj in Lebanon writes:
Woodrow Wilson signed and have put his signature and the Great Seal of the United States of America on a MAP.
No one have the right to change that, only if you want to "remove" President Wilson from existence.
The United States Congress, the President of the United States have to follow to the point what have been said even after 200 years.

Great Live Moments: Dr. Billy Taylor/Jazzmobile in Newark
July 24, 2008. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: 92nd street y, bassist, becca, billy taylor, brick city, earl may, gratitude, Great Live Moments, harlem, helms park, houston person, jazz legend, jazzmobile, live moment, newark, night in tunisia, pianists, teaching organization, university of massachusetts, university of massachusetts amherst, wbgo
Today is the 87th birthday of a jazz legend - Dr. Billy Taylor. Last night, on the eve of this very special day, Dr. T was one of several featured pianists at the 92nd Street Y in the Jazz in July series. He likes the name of that series because he came up with it himself when he helped to found a summer program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Just this month, Taylor quietly stepped down from his Jazz in July, and U Mass expressed gratitude for many summers on its website. Click to read the story.
Also this summer, Taylor is involved in a development right here in our town. Now we have a Brick City branch of Jazzmobile, the teaching organization he helped found in Harlem. Newark Jazzmobile is named for the late bassist Earl May, who first proposed it but did not live to see it happen. Click here for the Jazzmobile schedule. Houston Person plays tonight at Mildred Helms Park in the South Ward! Click and hear Billy Taylor play "A Night in Tunisia" on WBGO's (then) new Steinway, live on the air in the 1980s. Another Great Live Moment from WBGO.

Several Southern states were ravaged by massive storms over the past week, leaving many people - and their animal companions - homeless. Alabama was one of the states hardest hit, and many people lost track of their dog or cat during the storms. Fortunately, a group has launched a Facebook page to help reunite pet parents with their missing animal companions, according to AL.com.
Several animal rescue groups came together to create the page, which is titled Animals Lost and Found from the Tornadoes in Alabama on 4/27/11. People who are missing their pets can visit the site to get in contact with the rescue organizations.
Pet parents whose companions were injured during the storm can also find information pertaining to veterinarians who are donating time and expertise for those living in the damaged regions.
People can make donations to the website, which will go toward Have a Heart Animal Rescue and Adoption. Money will be used to feed and provide shelter for displaced cats, dogs and other pets.
VCA animal hospitals in the areas most affected will also be offering free boarding for pets of families who have been displaced by the storms.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, pet parents can prepare for natural disasters by reaching out to family, friends and relatives who could help with evacuation.

Topic: How to pre-cache an array for an often called action ?
Hi, i have this tricky problem:
In my view i trigger an action very often before submit(cant change this).
The action reads a file and creates an array. Then after some computing it sends some data back to the view. (view -> action -> reads_file -> creates some data aray -computes -> send data back)
The data in the file changes very rarely. Maybe once a month. Its obvious that its redundant to read the file and create the dataarray on every :action call.
How can I cache it?

Curcumin saves lives
Posted by Reviewer2073441 on Feb 19, 2012
My friend had multiple heart attacks, doctors were preparing for bypass, but I gave my friend curcumin for thirty days and when they pre oped they told my friend "your heart is healing so we are going to wait another 90 days and see, maybe we will just do stents" and that is the pending status. I think this says a lot about the anti inflammatory properties of curcumin.
Fantastic product - I'll never be without it!!
Posted by Reviewer1391297 on Nov 14, 2009
I'm 30 years old, work in a professional environment and wear high heels every day. About 2 years ago, the joint in my big toe started to ache constantly, even when I wasn't wearing heels. I had it checked by a podiatrist who said that it was arthritis and that there really wasn't anything I could do for it, short of surgery at some point down the road if it got really bad. I'd read about curcumin for the anti-cancer benefits, and that was actually the reason I began taking it. At the time, I didn't know that it was also good for arthritis. Within a couple of days of taking it (I started with 2 caps, twice a day), my toe completely stopped bothering me. I basically just stopped noticing the pain. I've taken it for close to 2 months now and am now taking 1 cap twice a day. This stuff is amazing!! I just recommended it to my mom, who is beginning to feel some arthritis in her hands, and to a friend whose joints hurt after running. This is 1 supplement that I will continue to take indefinitely!

This product is amazing!! I haad a herniated disk in my back at L5 that was causing SEVERE sciatica. I had no feeling in my right calf and right foot, and, severe pain up my right leg into my buttocks. I was in so much pain, I would not be able to walk at times. The nuerosurgeon said that I had no other option but surgery. I was against getting surgery and wanted to try other options first. I took this product along with Boswelia and all of my symptoms have completely disappeared. I went to my follow up appointment with the doctor and he said my recovery was "nothing short of amazing". I also did physical therapy exercises for 5 weeks and accupuncture for six weeks, but; bottom line...I am cured! Try this first before surgery.
Great product for my fibro

I heard about the low incidence of dementia in India and that it was possibly attributable to this herb. I have been taking it for 30 days and have noticed an improvement in recall.

My son is taking this for his psoriasis, and it seems to make it subside. This one has a very good quality of ingredient.
It works!!!!!!!!!!

Curcumin is very healthy, but I 1) do not want to take 10 pills per day and 2) I do not want to get yellow teeth. Thanks to this pill that features "BioPerine", I only need ONE SINGLE PILL PER DAY and no yellow teeth yet!! . . . . You can find other products I use on my Page! I use only products that have Scientifically Proven benefits.
Safe, excellent anti-inflammatory

I recently had back surgery and this helps reduce inflammation. I take no pain meds, because they interfere with the healing process. This, along with Serrapeptase, help the inflammation and reduce my arthritic pain.

Process begins to fill empty commissioner seat
ALPENA – Those seeking Richard Fortier's seat on the Alpena County Board of Commissioners have until March 26 to submit a letter of interest, according to County Clerk Bonnie Friedrichs.
Fortier died Wednesday after a battling lung cancer, and Friedrichs said commissioners have 30 days to fill his vacant seat. Those who submit letters of interest will be interviewed by commissioners on March 28. Whoever they appoint will serve until voters in Fortier's district select a new commissioner.
Applicants must live inside District 8, which covers Sanborn and Ossineke townships, Friedrichs said.
On Aug. 6, voters will either pick a new commissioner or decide who will be on the Nov. 5, Friedrichs said. This depends on whether there is more than one Republican or Democrat candidate who file. Those wishing to be put on the Aug. 6 ballot have until May 14 to file a nominating petition or pay a $100 filing fee.
"This is all subject to change if any election laws change between now and August," she said.
When a vacancy occurs in an elected county-wide position with more than half of a term left, current law states that commissioners can only fill that vacancy until the next scheduled election, Friedrichs said. In January, Fortier was sworn in to serve another two-year term on the board of commissioners.

About This Rod
For the anglers that prefer to drop shot with a casting setup, the Shimano Crucial Drop Shot Casting Rods offer top quality components and performance at a reasonable price. New and improved, they now feature lightweight and sensitive IM-10 graphite blanks, which are responsive and powerful for excellent bite detection and fish control. Premium Fuji Alconite Guides also offer increased line control and casting distance, and the Alconite ceramic inserts provide 80% greater compression strength, while remaining 20% lighter than other ceramic inserts. New, custom Shimano Reel Seats also furnish direct access to the rod blank for improved sensitivity, and they fasten below the reel for a sleek, no thread look. Helping to reduce weight even further, a split grip handle configuration and EVA grips also provide all day comfort and balance out each rod. Delivering the intensely designed, technique specific actions and tapers that you need to drop shot effectively, the Shimano Crucial Drop Shot Casting Rods deliver tournament caliber performance.
Additional Features:
- Multi-Purpose Hook Keeper
- Etched Technique Badge Butt Cap
- Limited Lifetime Over-the-Counter Replacement Warranty
Customer Feedback
Comments: Definitely the right casting rod for drop shotting. Shimano nailed it again. Although it may not feel as light as the previous cork handled model, the new Black Eva does just fine is more visually appealing in my opinion. I got the 6'11" length and it casts a mile with the Core and 8lb test. The tip is just right for shaking the slack. The blank itself is super sensitive and can detect even the slightest taps and ticks. If you're fishing with tungsten sinkers, the feel with transfer up the line and into your rod as best as you've ever felt. It also has plenty of power to control fish. My biggest fish this year an estimated 7 pounder and this rod tamed it without any problems. If you've never drop shotted with a casting outfit, you should give it a try. It just feels so natural.

- $100 gift certificate costs $65.00 (anything bigger also gets 35% off)
This is a great way to save even further on Threadless' prices. If you want to take advantage of these super cheap gift certificates, just shoot me an email. You can also find me directly at colin [a t] troundup [d o t] com.

The $10.00 sale just ended at Threadless, but that doesn't mean you're out of options to save money. They just relaunched their 25% off offer, which will give you a couple more weeks of discounts. This is very similar to the offer from before. Once again, the offer is tied through affiliate links–so you have to click the link to get the 25% off orders $25+. I feel the need to reiterate–this is not some elaborate scheme for me to get clicks, I'm just following the directions they gave me. So, to get the 25% discount at Threadless, here's what you need to do by September 5th (when the discount expires).
- Click my Threadless affiliate link (or the image above) to head to the website.
- Shop in the window that opens just as you usually would. At the top of the page, you should see text saying that you'll get 25% off at checkout.
- Check out through the process like normal and you should get that sweet, sensual feeling of a 25% discount.

Threadless Upgrades Their Sale–All Shirts $10.00
Published August 18, 2011 in T-Shirt Sales Threadless. Comments (0)
I posted a few days ago about Threadless' Back to School sale. When I made that post, all their shirts were on sale for $12.00. Well, I just got an email today letting me know that they've upgraded their sale, and all their t-shirts are only $10.00 now! They also gave an expiration date for the sale: August 23rd. To sum it up, all of Threadless' t-shirts are on sale for $10.00 until 8/23. Buy buy buy!
P.S. All their hoodies are also on sale for 20% off, which is great with Fall just around the corner.
$12 Back to School Sale at Threadless!
Published August 15, 2011 in T-Shirt Sales Threadless. Comments (1)
Sorry for posting two sales in a row–I've been travelling so I haven't had time to post regularly. But, this is a big deal, so I had to make a special effort to get this post up and let you guys know. Threadless just launched one of their awesome $12.00 tee sales! The 25% off discount at Threadless just expired, making me sad. But then I check today and find Threadless is running a $12.00 sale, and my eyes light up! Threadless has really been laying on the discounts heavily the past few months, it's great stuff. I don't see an expiration date, so I'm not sure when this ends. All I know is that every single t-shirt at Threadless only costs $12.00, so you should take advantage of this as soon as possible so you don't miss out. Also, remember that popular designs often sell out during sales, so you don't wanna wait too long to put your order in.
To sum up, Threadless just launched a store-wide, $12.00 t-shirt sale. I'm not sure when this sale will end. We've got a Threadless coupon code page, but Threadless typically disables all of their coupons during sales, so that probably won't help you. Get your order in quickly, 'cause you never know when the sale might end, or when that shirt you want so much may sell out!
Expect a bunch more great back to school sales in the coming weeks. I will do my best to post them up as I become aware of them. Hopefully I can save you guys some money and get you some cool tees.
Free Shipping at Threadless + 25% Off Deal
Published August 4, 2011 in T-Shirt Coupons T-Shirts Threadless. Comments (0)
With the 25% off at Threadless deal still running (according to troundup commentators at least), Threadless has decided to up the stakes even further. In addition to the 25% off, shoppers can now also get free domestic shipping, and $6 international shipping on orders $60+. This is actually a fairly big deal, as shipping costs can add up quick at Threadless, especially when you're ordering a bunch of t-shirts (and it's Threadless, so you're pretty much always buying a bunch of shirts). I don't think there's any code or anything–just spend $60 or more and get your free shipping. See the post I linked to for details on also getting the 25% off discount, as you definitely don't want to miss out on that. We've also got Threadless coupons, which should be another way to snag the 25% discount.
Threadless has been doing some crazy awesome promotions lately. I really hope this trend continues in the future.
25% Off at Threadless!!! OMG!!!
Published July 21, 2011 in T-Shirt Sales Threadless. Comments (19)
I've got some more great Threadless news–they just announced a promotion that will get you 25% off all orders $25+. Threadless is really pulling out all the discount stops this year. Things got off to a slow start, with very few sales up until May, and then boom! They've been firing off discount after discount. While not quite as good as that $10 sale we just had, a 25% discount is pretty crazy. While the graphic says "25% off Magic", you get 25% off every t-shirt Threadless sells. The only requirement is that your purchase be $25+. Here's how to get the discount:
1. Click my Threadless affiliate link to head to the website. No, I'm not just fishing for commissions (although I do love them)–Threadless has hard coded the discount into the affiliate link. In addition, the discount is only coded into some of the affiliate links. The links in this post are all the proper type, though.
–If the link doesn't work by itself, try clicking the link AND using the coupon code affiliate1107. Combining the two should get you the discount. The link will get you the cookie, and the coupon will activate the discount if needed.
2. Shop in the window that opened as usual. You should see a bit of text at the top of the page telling you that you'll get 25% off at checkout. If you don't see the text, you didn't click a working link.
3. Check out and get your super duper discount!
So yeah, no coupon or anything. All you need to do is buy through certain affiliate links and the discount will automatically be applied when you checkout. All the links in this specific post are good to get you 25% off. Happy shopping!
$10 Sale at Threadless Starts Today! Plus a Snorg Tees 20% Off Sale
Published June 30, 2011 in T-Shirt Sales T-Shirts Threadless. Comments (0)
I've got two awesome sales to let you guys know about today. They come from two brands that I really like: Threadless and Snorg Tees.
I never thought we would see this again due to rising cotton prices, but, Threadless has just launched one of their bread-and-butter $10 t-shirt sales. Every single t-shirt at Threadless, new and old, is on sale for only $10.00 until July 5th at 11 am est. Talk about ringing in Independence Day in style. You don't need any coupons or anything, just head over to Threadless and get started. We've also got a Threadless coupons page, although I'm fairly certain Threadless has disabled all coupons during the sale. Head over to Threadless and start buying some awesome tees for only $10.00.
In addition to the awesome Threadless sale, you've also got a great opportunity to save some money on Snorg Tees' awesome funny shirts. Until tomorrow (Friday, July 1st), all Snorg Tees designs are on sale for 20% off. Snorg Tees rarely has sales or coupon codes, so you have to take advantage of their discounts whenever they come. So after picking up a bunch of Threadless shirts, maybe grab some Snorg Tees stuff to round out your collection (if 'ya want to, that is). If you like math I bet you'll find some designs you like.
Retold with Unicorns T-Shirt from Threadless + Unicef Donations
Published June 7, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts Random T-Shirts T-Shirts Threadless. Comments (1)
It's been a long time since I've posted an actual t-shirt from Threadless, but this one was just so quirkily hilarious that I had to post it. This shirt, entitled Retold with Unicorns, quite obviously features two unicorns fighting out the Star Wars storyline with horn-lightsabers. I am unsure where the inspiration for this t-shirt came from, but I will say that I am glad RicoMambo and Threadless were able to get this printed. It's just straight up ridiculous (in a good way). Also, if you look at the design in detail, the Darth Vader styling on the black unicorn is hilarious.
If you also find this shirt oddly enticing, you can pick it up for only $15.00 from Threadless. We've also got a Threadless coupon page, although I don't think any of them are active at the time of this posting. Furthermore, Threadless is currently running a promotion where, if you rate 100 designs, they will donate $1.00 to Unicef. So basically, you can go check out awesome, potential Threadless designs, and also help out people in need. That's a winning combination right there. Go score some designs–100 doesn't really take that long at all.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was awarded the George McGovern Leadership Award for advancing the international community's efforts to address global hunger at the World Food Program USA's 9th annual awards ceremony and reception. Former Senator and Goodwill Ambassador to the World Food Program George McGovern presented the award to Secretary Clinton. Executive Director of the World Food Program Josette Sheeran and President and CEO of WFP USA Richard Leach also participated in the event.
Secretary Clinton said, "[W]e are at the State Department really on a mission when it comes to hunger. But it's a slightly more expanded and somewhat different approach that we are taking. We know very well that hunger is a drain on economic development. It is a threat to the stability of governments, as the food riots have shown over the last two years, and it certainly it deprives us of the talents and energy of nearly a billion people worldwide.
"So how do we tackle it? Because we know that fighting hunger is a priority for us and it demands our highest levels of patience and commitment. We are aware of our historic achievements like the Green Revolution because, as George pointed out, the huge shipment of food from the United States to India was soon replaced by India becoming self-sufficient, thanks to American technology and know-how being transferred to India. And it is important that we focus on science and research again, that we put a lot of effort and commitment behind looking for ways to bring about the widespread distribution of micro-nutrients, for example, the integration of nutrition into HIV and AIDS programs, the development of heartier nutrient-rich crops like beans, bread, to contain more iron. These are now being field tested in Rwanda to address anemia, a leading cause of deaths of mothers and children and of cognitive delay among children.
"We've seen a growing consensus among world leaders that demands action. That consensus is enshrined in the Millennium Development Goal on poverty and hunger. It was carried forward in the last year by the G-8 and the G-20, which together pledged $22 billion to support agricultural development in impoverished countries.
"And as Josette said last week at the United National General Assembly, ministers from six countries came together with leaders of the European Union, UNICEF, the World Health Organization, the World Bank, civil society, the private sector and, of course, the World Food Program to launch the 1,000 Days campaign. The goal being to improve nutrition starting with conception all the way through a child's second birthday. And creating a consensus around this and a plan, so that people understand what they can do to contribute, was hardly imaginable two years ago. We now have to implement, but at least we have arrived at an agreement about the way forward.
"So I think we have reached a shared understanding of the need for a sustainable, comprehensive approach, where there really is a role for everyone to play. We need the science and the tools that science and technology bring to help us carry that out. We need the political leadership that is sustainable. We certainly need a better understanding of how to deliver food and not interrupt, disrupt, and destroy markets in the host countries... We understand that agricultural development in many parts of the world is primarily a women's issue because in most places in the developing world 60 to 70 percent of the small farmers are women, and they are very often denied access to the best seeds and fertilizer and other assets that will contribute to increasing their yield. We know that it does very little good to increase yield in a region of a country where there are no roads to get the excess produced to market in any timely way. We know that in the absence of storage facilities, including cold storage that can be shared either because of the private sector building them or government programs that incentivize the building of them, we're still going to lose about 40 percent of the harvest in many countries.
"So we have a much broader understanding of what it will take in this fight against hunger. And as we press ahead with the Feed the Future Initiative, we need your involvement. We need your guidance, your feedback, your support, because we have to be ready to take this on for the long run."

As rice is the main food of Malagasy poeple, every farmer struggles to cultivate this crop with the hope to recieve good yeild every year. A malagasy eats 138kg of rice per year.

While I think an A+ for effort is well deserved (to the entire dept. of state), the time to hand out awards is when hunger, poverty and disease has been eradicated.
Now is not exactly the time to be taking a "victory lap"...the race against time is still on.

At some time in your Christian life you may have struggled with questions like:
The vast majority of those kinds of thorny, persistent, mind-boggling questions are directly related to the sovereignty of God, election, predestination, perseverance, and the issue of "free will." Those, of course, are doctrines associated with Calvinism. All are vital to a sound, biblical understanding of the gospel, but they are not without difficulty.
In The Doctrines of Grace, John MacArthur takes you to God's Word and walks you through challenging truth that's often neglected, maligned, or mischaracterized, but is critical for every Christian to understand. This series will help you come to grips with what you believe about God, the gospel, and the nature of man.

Rookie Tight End Richard Rodgers has turned some heads in OTAs and he's certainly making every opportunity count.
"They throw me the ball, you have to catch it, that's basically what I think and I try to have no drops, I'm successful right now in doing that so just try to catch everything they throw to you," said Richard Rodgers.
Sounds simple enough! With the exit of Jermichael Finley, if Rodgers continues to impress, he could see a lot of snaps as a rookie.
"I just think he's a natural in space. But as far as all the movement, playing in space, picking up the scheme, I think Richard's off to a very good start," said Mike McCarthy.
Rodgers last year at Cal wasn't ideal. Sonny Dykes took over the reins as head coach and in his scheme Rodgers was utilized as a wide receiver. Mike McCarthy seems to think that move was beneficial for his rookie.
"Playing in more of a play-action type offense and then the capability to move into the backfield and then playing displacement formations, it's definitely an education opportunity and really I think it really highlighted his skill set," said McCarthy.
"It's good to be in the slot and be out wide sometimes and get the ball in space and just learn to play in space," said Rodgers.
As for the "Other Rodgers from Cal".... Aaron's pleased with the Packers' third round compensatory pick. And the QB, who still carries a chip from his draft... hopes the naysayers inspire his new teammate.
"Matt (Flynn) and I were actually just talking about it how when we made the pick some of the so-called experts on the draft channel said that he was a late sixth round pick that had him as far as a grade which is pretty laughable when you watch the talent that he's got and the ability, especially with some of the plays he made today," said Aaron Rodgers.
Of course, the real test will come when the pads are put on during training camp, but blocking can always be improved... good hands are hard to find.
