text: CASE NUMBER: 310 CASE MNEMONIC: LUCKY CASE NAME: Lucky Dragon Radiation A. IDENTIFICATION 1. The Issue At 6:45 on the morning of 1 March 1954, eight years after testing in the Marshall Island began, the US detonated a bomb codenamed "Bravo" on the island of Bikini. The bomb was equivalent to 17 megatons of TNT, 1,300 times the destructive force of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and was specifically designed to create a vast amount of lethal fallout. That morning wind was blowing in the direction of two inhabited atolls, Rongelap and Utrik, roughly 100 and 300 miles from Bikini. A Japanese tuna fishing boat, the Lucky Dragon, was caught in the path of Bravo's fallout. It was 100 miles east of Bikini when the bomb was detonated. The crew members suffered from radiation sickness, and one of the them died of liver and blood damage on 23 September. The Lucky Dragon Incident touched several sensitive issues in Japan: the atomic legacy of World War II; disruption in the supply of fish; a principal food item; curtailment of fishing rights on the high sea; and a deep-rooted concern that the United States was insensitive to the feelings and sufferings of the Japanese people and unduly preoccupied with the development of weapons for mass destruction. 2. Description The nuclear incident that sparked a massive outcry in Japan against the U.S.'s testing of nuclear weapons. On 1 March 1954 a 90.7-ton Japanese fishing boat, the Daigo Fukuryu maru (Lucky Dragon V), while operating in the central Pacific, was sprayed by a cloud of radio active ash. This accident was caused by a US thermonuclear weapon test on Bikini Island ( part of the Marshall Islands ), 135 kilometer (85 mi) to the west of the boat. Earlier that year, US authorities had issued a general warning defining a danger zone around Bikini, but no specific warning had been given regarding the timing or location of the various tests. The Japanese crew apparently knew of the warning and assumed that they were operating outside the danger area. Their tuna trawler was in fact about 32 kilometers (20 mi ) outside the zone. Early that morning, several members of the crew had noticed a bright light in the sky to the west, and about six to seven minutes later they heard a loud explosion, which they speculated might have been caused by a "pikadon", as the atomic bomb was called popularly called. For nearly three hours sandy ash rained down on the boat. Soon, most of the 23 crew members has began to suffer nausea, pain, and skin inflammation, but they did not associate these symptom with the explosion and had made no radio report of the incident. After running to their home port of Yaizu in Shizuoka prefecture on 14 March, they reported their ailments to a local doctor. An observant student passed the news to Yomiuri Shinbun reporter; as a result, the Tokyo office of the newspaper scored a major scoop with its report of the incident and of the treatment of the two crew members who had been sent to Tokyo University Hospital for examination. The condition of the crew members and the circumstances of their injuries became matters of worldwide interest and intense concern in Japan for months to come. All of the crew members were hospitalized in Tokyo. Several were in poor condition for some time, and one, Kuboyama Aikichi, the radio telegraph operator, died on September 1954. The precise cause of his death was disputed, some experts claiming that it was due primarily to radioactive damage to the liver and others arguing that the prime cause was infectious hepatitis brought on by frequent blood transfusions. The United State donated 1 million yen ( US $ 2,800 ) to the widow as a gesture of sympathy. The remaining crew members all recovered with no apparent after effects despite their exposure to powerful doses of radiation abroad ship while returning to Japan. Following extended negotiation, United States made a payment of $ 2 million to the Japanese government on January 1955, without legal liability, to compensate for all injuries and damages caused as a result of the five nuclear tests it has conducted in the Marshal Island, including damage and injuries sustained by the crew of the Daigo Fukuryo maru. Each crew member got an average of $ 5,000; the remainder went to pay their medical expenses and the damage done to the tuna industry. The Lucky Dragon itself, stripped down and decontaminated, was purchased by the government. Renamed the Hayabusa-Maru ( Dark Falcon), it became a training vessel for the University of Tokyo's Fisheries School. In a statement made on 31 March 1954, the chairman of the United State Atomic Energy Commission noted the power of the 1 March test had been about double that calculated. Experts estimate that the actual yield was the equivalent of about 15 megatons of TNT, one thousand times the power of the atomic bombs exploded at Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, and that this bomb had been of a new type combining fission and fusion process. The Detail about the crisis mounts Yashushi Nishiwaki, a young biophysics professor at the city university who had read about the Lucky Dragon in Yomiuri Shinbun, called the city health office to see if any fish from Yaizu had been shipped there. Soon he was summoned to the Osaka central market where he found tuna, to his astonishment, that rattled his Geiger counter at 60,000 counts per minute. City officials, discovering from the scales and paper wrappings, that contained fish had already been eaten by about a hundred people, pleaded with him for advice. Fear swept through the city when the evening papers carries the story. The reaction was immediate and despirate-people stopped buying fish. The doctors who examine crew members and the young biophysicist had similar problems. They could not tell how badly the men had been hurt, and Nishiwaki could not set a level of permissible contamination for fish, without knowing how strong the source of original radiation had been. Even after he had made a trip to Yaizu to inspect the ship and its crew he knew days would pass before his analysis of the ash be completed. Nishiwaki therefore wrote the US Atomic Energy Commission, asking that Japanese scientists be told what elements had been in the H-bomb. He gave the letter to a representative of an American press service, thinking that would be the fastest way to reach the United States. However, the letter was never transmitted. It was blocked by the chief of wire service's Tokyo bureau. Later Nishiwaki learned that the decision had been made on the grounds that he was an alarmist who was obviously seeking publicity. This attitude, on the part of some Americans puzzled and irritated and eventually alienated Japanese scientists and laymen alike. The incident marked the beginning of a wide and unnecessary rift between the two nations. The doctors in Tokyo and a team from the same hospital that had now examined the men in Yaizu were also fighting against time to learn the content of the ash. In handling the victims of the ash, they could draw on the wealth of medical information gained by systematic study of the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This had been carried out by the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission, a co- operative research facility that had been established at Hiroshima, where thousands of individuals had been carefully examined and reexamined. But what confused the situation now was the presence of residual radioactivity. Even after hair cuts, nail-clippings, and a throughout scrubbing, the fishermen retained some radioactivity on their skin. This was something with which the Japanese doctors had no practice experience, and they were in the dark about how deep-seated the injury to the men might be. Officials of University of Tokyo had requested assistance from the Atomic Bomb Casualty and, in response Dr, John Morton arrived in Tokyo on March 18. He visited the two patients at the university hospital and discussed the condition with attending physicians. He assured the Japanese doctors that the United States would be ready to assist and offer to have antibiotics delivered to the hospital. Before leaving for Yaizu, Dr. Morton stated that he had found fishermen in better shape than he had expected and that the twenty-tree fishermen would recover in two or three weeks, a month at the most. It was at this time that Senator John Pastore of Rhode Island passed through Tokyo on a brief visit and presumably was briefed by authorities there on the condition of he Lucky Dragon crew. Senator Pastore, a member of the joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy, returned the United State and gave an interview to the press in which he made a very optimistic statement about the fishermen's recovery. This was but one of a series of semi- official opinions voiced in America which aggravated the delicate relations between Americans and Japanese in Japan. News from America continued to be featured in the Japanese press. For the first time semi-official information about the huge explosion came out into the open. Representative James Van Zandt, a Republican Congressman from Pennsylvania and a member of the Joint Committee, stated that March 1 H-bomb explosion had equaled the blast of twelve to fourteen million tons of TNT. The new Bikini bomb was of incredible destructiveness. That led Japanese newspapers to run editorials urging that the danger area around the Eniwetok Proving Grounds be enlarged; and the U.S. government promptly issued a notice doing precisely this. The new danger area encompassed about 400,000 square miles of territory, or about eight times the area formed by the previous designated zone. On March 19 the Maritime Safety Board in Japan announced the new limits. All boats fishing in this area, or taking passage through it, were required to put in at five designated ports and be inspected for radioactivity. The ports specified were Shiogama, Shimizu on the island of Shikoku, Yaizu, Tokyo, and Misaki, the great tuna center near Tokyo. Establishing the official inspection stations was a step which the Japanese government took to stem the rising hysteria over the contamination of the fish supply. There was no doubt something drastic had to be done to assure the Japanese people that they were not being poisoned. Fish-dealers were having a hard time convincing customers that their wares were not radioactive. But wary purchasers shied away. 750 tons of tuna were stored in the warehouses in the great port of Misaki. The Misaki market was closed on March 19, precipitating a panic among the fish dealers. The hysteria spread to nearby Yokohama and then to Tokyo itself. The great Tokyo Central Wholesale Market closed for the first time since the cholera epidemic of 1935. None of these measures worked well. When it became known that fish had been banned from the Emperor's diet, people became even more worried. Prices plummeted to still lower depths and some fish dealers were forced into bankruptcy. Public resentment over the Bikini accident spread throughout Japan and news papers ran editorials highly critical of the Unites States. They criticized Dr. Morton for failing to treat the Yaizu fishermen (despite the illegally such a treatment by an American doctor). They expressed fear that the patients would be used as a "guinea pigs" and they demanded reparation for the damages incurred. Ambassador John M. Allison sought to take some of the sting out of the criticisms by issuing a press release on March 19, in which he said theat he was "authorized to make clear that the Unites States is prepared to take such steps as may be necessary to insure fair and just compensation if the facts so warrant." A US congressman, Melvin Price from Illinois, commented that the presence of the Japanese fishing boat so close to the blast indicated that a Soviet submarine could have come even closer. At this point, Representative W. Sterling Cole, chairman of the Joint Atomic Committee, was interpreted in the Japanese press as suggesting that the Lucky Dragon may have been on a spying mission. This suggestion infuriated the Japanese. Meanwhile Mr. Merrill Eisenbud, director of the AEC's Health and Safety Laboratory, had arrived at Tokyo's Haneda Airport and been whisked away in an Embassy sedan before corespondents could question him. Eisenbud was making a hurried flight to Japan in order to check on the levels of radioactivity and to see what assistance his laboratory could render for the crewmen. A short time later he, an expert on fallout, flew to Yaizu and lugged an armful of instruments aboard the Lucky Dragon. He disdained gloves, mask, or protective clothing and rather horrified some of the Japanese scientists by his nonchalance. However, at the hospital he was given a cool reception by Japanese doctors, who made a point of emphasizing that he had neither a Ph.D. nor a M.D. degree. It was quite evidence that a distinct note of hostility had arisen between the Americans and Japanese. News of what had happened to the Lucky Dragon was played up on the front pages of American newspapers on March 17. But the question of the radioactive tuna fish was subsequently given little space in the American press, and the injuries to the fishermen were mainly mentioned through comments by U.S. politicians. The New York Times ran photos of an injured crewman and printed a chart showing that the Lucky Dragon had been well outside the danger zone around the Eniwetok-Bikini Proving grounds. But the reporting of the incident in American newspapers gave no concept of its importance to the Japanese. President Eisenhower replied to a question from a reporter of the Columbia Broadcasting system. "It was quite clear that this time something must have happened which we had never experienced before, and must have surprised and astonished the scientists. And very properly, the United States had to take precautions that had never occurred to them before." After the President's press conference the Atomic Energy Commission released a detailed statement which included: "The opinion of the American Energy Commission scientific staff based on long-term studies of fish in the presence of radioactivity is that there is negligible hazard, if any, in the consumption of fish caught in the Pacific Ocean outside the immediate test area subsequent to tests....Any radioactivity collected in the test area would become harmless within a few miles....and completely undetectable within 500 miles or less...." In Japan, the American Ambassador, John M. Allison, issued a similar statement. It evoked angry comment from leading Japanese scientists. One professor made a radio broadcast in which he stated: "the radioactivity we have detected was certainly not negligible." The other professor snapped: " Let's send the highly contaminated fish to Mr. Allison and have him eat it." The official AEC reassurance that fish could be eaten safety did not stem the rising tide of fish contaminations in Japan, nor did it restore confidence among buyers in fish markets. On March 27 the Koei Maru ( Radiant Glory) put into the thriving port of Mastic with thirty-seven tons of tuna which was found to be radioactive above the level established by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Japanese officials had issued a temporary " danger level corresponding to 100 counts per minute for a Geiger counter held four inches away from the fish. So far as the Japanese people were concerned, the numerical value of 100 was not too important. They looked upon the situation in that either the fish was radioactive or it was non-radioactive. Shortly after the contamination of fish became news that American dealers asked the Japanese to observe restrictions of a rather technical nature, calling for the fish to be examined closer than four inches and for detailed inspection around the gills. Apparently importers did not want every 100 counts per minute. This distressed the Japanese tuna men, who felt that Americans were setting up a double standard. On one hand Americans asserted that there was no danger and strongly implied that Japanese were unrealistic about radioactivity contamination of fish. On the other hand, they rejected even slightly contaminated tuna for their consumption. The US West Coats tuna canneries, most of which are concentrated in California, were alerted Records of the food and Drug Administration show that two radioactive fish were picked up at one cannery. No details other than that the " radioactivity was insignificant" are available, but it is known that secret meeting took place between representatives of tuna industry, the Food and Drug Administration, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the State Department. An acceptable level of radioactivity was agreed upon at this meeting but the level was classified as " confidential" and not released to the public. 3.

Economic Data Affected by a decrease in domestic haul, the scale of supply- demand of fish has continued to decrease. However, the fish markets still provide most of the protein for Japan's diet. They provide a daily supply of 18.4g animal protein per capita in 1991, accounting for 40% of the total protein supply. In those days of the Lucky Dragon Incident, demand and supply of fish, selfish are as fallows: (Unit: 1,000t) TABLE (Demand and Supply of Fish) Total Supply...5,903 Domestic Production... 5,803 Imports... 100 Total Demand... 5,903 Domestic Consumption...5,383 For Food... 4,400 For Livestock Feed... 983 Export...520 17. Degree of Competitive and Impact: HIGH Many tuna from the Pacific were found to be radioactive by the testing of American atomic bomb. As noted in the description, this caused Japanese people to stop buying and prices to drop disastrously. It resulted in a large loss of revenue and employment for the industry. 18. Industry Sector: FOOD 19. Exporter and Importer: Many and Japan E. Environmental Cluster 20. Environmental Problem Type: Pollution Sea When the crew of the Daigo fukuryu maru, a tuna-fishing boat, witnessed a gigantic fireball over the western horizon and heard dull sounds about eight minutes later, their boat was located approximately 190 kilometers (118 mi) east northeast of the explosion site. White dust began to fall with a light rain around 7:00 AM and continued until around 11:30 AM. The shower was so heavy at one point that the crewmen could not open their eyes or mouths; the dust left on the deck was thick enough to create their footprints. Two weeks later , they returned to their home port in Japan and were eventually sent to a hospital and treated for radiation injuries for about a year. One of them died 206 days after his exposure. No mechanical or burn injuries were involved; the injuries sustained were from radiation alone. (American authorities disputed the cause of this one death.) Exposure mode. The fallout on the boat contained 26 nuclides. The presence of uranium 237 suggested that the bomb was of the type which used natural uranium as its outer component. The radiative intensity of the fallout at 7:00 AM, 1 March, is estimated at 1.4Ci/g. The fishing-boat crew received external gamma ray irradiation, internal irradiation from fallout intake, and bata ray irradiation from fallout on naked skin. External gamma ray irradiation is considered to have been the main cause of acute symptoms. The two-week doses of gamma ray varied but are estimated to have ranged from 170 to 600 rads. Radiochemical analysis of urine and external measurement of thyroid gland radioactivity showed internal irradiation. However, there were no cases of long-term presence of radioactive material in the men examined. The degree of skin injuries led to estimates that local skin exposure doses were roughly 1,000 rads or higher. Clinical course. The initial general symptoms appearing in the crew included fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia. Conjunctivitis was observed in all cases. Leukopenia, thrombopenia, and moderate or mild anemia also occurred. The minimum counts of leukocytes were all less than normal: 5 cases at a level of 3,000 per cubic millimeter, 13 cases at a level of 2,000 per cubic millimeter, and 5 cases at a level of 1,000 per millimeter. The minimum count of blood platelet was at a level of 1,000 per cubic millimeter. A few cases showed mild hemorrhagic tendencies. These findings correlated with the condition of the bone marrow. The affected bone marrow ran a course from aplasia to hypoplasia to partial recovery to normalization. As the bone marrow recovered, peripheral blood-cell counts approached normal levels. A temporary decease in the number of spermatozoa was found, but signs of recovery appeared two years after exposure, and there was no permanent exposure-related sterility. The main site of injury was the exposed areas of the skin. Working clothes, gloves, and shoes played an unexpected role in protecting the crew from bata ray exposure. Skin injuries developed in this sequence: erythema, edema, bulla, and erosion. Ulceration and recovered after a few months in most instances. Some individuals showed depigmentation, pigmentation, telangiectasia, or atrophy of the skin without, however, signs of carcinogenesis for many years. Thyroid nodules were observed in the major of the Marshall Islanders who were 10 years or younger at the time of nuclear test. One of these cases died from acute myelogenous leukemia 18 years after exposure. 21. Species Information Name of Species: Many ( including human beings, fish, etc) Type: Many Diversity: Many 22. Impact and Effect: HIGH and PRODuct 23. Urgency and Lifetime: Low and 1000s of years They depends on a degree of the destructive power of nuclear bomb and the distance from the testing place. 24. Substitutes: LIKE As for fish, the industry could change the fishing-place to safer areas, or turn to fish-farm in the safer water. F. Other Factors 25. Culture: NO 26. Human Right: YES Radioactive fallout inflicted radiation injuries on 23 Japanese fishermen ( One of them died 206 days after his exposure), 239 Marshall Islander (This is a reported number, however; there could be more on them), and 28 Americans, who were all at a great distance from the test site. In addition, in Japan, as contaminated fish was found, Japanese people were exposed to the menace of secondary contamination by eating contaminated fish. The fish industry was tremendously damaged. Thus , human-right must be seemed as a factor in this case. 27. Trans-Border: YES As mentioned above, this case of nuclear testing affected not only 23 crew members of Daigo fukuryu maru, but also Marshall Islanders, Americans and other Japanese people. 28.

Triple threat MVP
South's Spinuzzi leads way on annual all-Chieftain team
Amidst the 1,000-yard rushers, passers and receivers were many talented linemen and other players who earned and deserved recognition for their efforts during the 2013 high school football season.
One player in particular stood above the rest in leading his team from worst to first in the Foothills League standings and a win away from playing for a state championship. Not only was he a threat with his arm as a passer and his legs as a runner, he used his foot to do damage as well.
South junior Nathan Spinuzzi was that player who headlines the 2013 all-Chieftain football team as the area's most valuable player.
Spinuzzi had a special season. He was instrumental in South's offensive attack, throwing for 2,414 yards and 17 touchdowns and running for 612 yards and 13 scores. Plus, he consistently changed field position by booming his kickoffs into the end zone, forcing opponents to start drives on their 20-yard line.
His foot was a weapon as he connected on 50 of 56 extra points and didn't miss a field goal all season on seven attempts.
Spinuzzi wasn't the only quarterback who rolled up big numbers during the 2013 campaign.
Centennial junior Quincy Kindred, Pueblo West senior Zac Drury and Central's Michael Ranson had spectacular seasons and piled up numbers that couldn't be ignored. They were selected as utility players on the offensive team.
Kindred was a one-man wrecking crew for the Bulldogs, rushing for 1,726 yards and 25 touchdowns and throwing for 423 yards and four scores.
Drury was a similar player, using his legs to help get the Cyclones into the Class 4A state playoffs. He also did some damage through the air.
Ranson, only a sophomore, stepped in as the starter early in the season and compiled some big numbers even though his team was 2-8.
Rounding out the backfield on the all-Chieftain team were a pair of bruising runners — South's Garrett Krage and Centennial's Caleb Miranda.
Both were complementary to their quarterbacks.
Krage exploded for 1,425 yards and 21 touchdowns, while Miranda rushed for 1,189 yards and nine scores.
A trio of wide receivers give the all-Chieftain offense some depth.
South's Devin Valdez and Central's Nikko Valdez had a hand in making their offenses dangerous. Valdez hauled in 47 passes for 847 yards and six scores, while Valdez did much of his damage coming out of the backfield on swing passes, catching 60 passes for 905 yards and seven scores. And tight end Isiah Panunnzio was a factor as a blocker and a receiver.
The beef up front enabled all the specialty players to do their thing.
Pueblo West's massive Keith Hed, at 6-foot-7, 260 pounds, was the leader. Joining him in the trenches were Pueblo West's Cody Ortiz, Centennial's Zach Thatcher, Pueblo County's John Lane and East's Keaton Brown.
Defensively, there were many standouts.
Cody Kraus at linebacker and Mak Kovac in the defensive line were two-way players.
Other linebackers include Centennial's Kurt Berry, Pueblo County's Joe Romero and Pueblo West's Cameron Vaughan.
The defensive line includes Centennial's Demitrius Miller and East's Donnie Garcia.
The secondary is led by South free safety Mitchell Chavez, East safety Joe DeTello, Centennial cornerback Aaron Garcia and East cornerback Alex Mestas.
Krage is the team's punter with Mestas as the punt/kick returner.
NOTE: Only players from Class 4A and 3A teams were eligible for the all-Chieftain team.

The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA) has everything you need to help you bring your A-game and kick-off the tailgating season in winning style:
Your Game Day Grilling Guide from the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association
The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA) has everything you need to help you bring your A-game and kick-off the tailgating season in winning style:
- Rally the Team: Don't assume people who don't follow the sport don't want to tailgate! An HPBA survey revealed that the real appeal of tailgating for 49 percent of Americans is the feeling of a neighborhood party - so be sure to invite all your friends and not just the sports fans!
- Get in the Zone: Know the tailgating rules for the stadium you're heading to before game day. Are grills, smokers and fryers allowed? How early are you able to park your car in the lot? What time do the gates open? And be sure to test out your grilling 'equipment' before leaving home.
- Run the Plays: Score big with your friends by bringing a variety of food to throw on the grill, smoker or fryer, and drink and water. You want to make sure that there's something for everyone, including kids, vegetarians and those who may just want a snack. In addition to the burgers and dogs, think about grilled pizza or fruit. And the more food the merrier, 28 percent of Americans report they would crash a complete stranger's tailgate party solely to eat great grilled food!
- Uniform Up: In the tailgate zone, anything goes! In fact, one in five adults said they would crash a tailgate party purely to meet members of the opposite sex. So be sure to sport your best game-day attire and have delicious aromas coming from the grill, fryer or smoker!
- Equipment Check: You can't play the game without the ball and you can't grill without charcoal, chimney coal starter, or propane. Remember the necessities to have your grill, smoker or fryer work properly. You'll also want to bring your favorite grilling accessories like tongs and plenty of paper goods for serving.
- Pre-Game Prep: Prep and marinate meat ahead of time and keep on ice during transportation for food safety and freshness. Arrive early to start up the grill so that it's fired-up by the time others tailgaters arrive.
- Defensive Line: Stay safe by positioning the grill in an open area away from vehicles and children. Use common sense when lighting the grill, smoker or fryer. If using a charcoal grill, use a chimney starter for safe lighting.
- Put Me in Coach!: Designate one person to be in charge of the grill, smoker or fryer, or take shifts. That way, the grill is always attended to by a responsible adult and there's always hot food ready to devour.
- Touch Down: You've got the grill and the food down pat, but don't forget about tailgating entertainment, like a battery-operated stereo for parking lot music, generator to power a TV for pre-game coverage, or even a football, frisbee or cornhole set to play before the game starts.
- Point After Touch Down: Before heading into the stadium, make sure the grill is completely extinguished, the coals are disposed of properly and you've cleaned up your tailgating area. Bring extra trash bags along so you won't have to search for a garbage can.
For a tailgate at the stadium or at home, check out HPBA's winning recipes here!

last year, the theatre and the cafe felt very separate. People would come thru the bright airy double doors direct from the street and not realise a beautiful cafe lay beyond that dark dingy set of double doors underneath the stairs. sad
This august, can we have a bright colourful mural saying "Cafe this way" or some such thing please?
Maybe even move the pidgeon holes elsewhere and have some cool art on that plinth space to entice people in?
thank yous

Just don't taste them all at once.
That would be bad.
Chip wrote:So, by all means, taste tea your way, I certainly do this as well. There is nothing wrong with that at all. But also, you could do both. You could do one round of tasting one by one, and you could also do a side by side tasting, you would have plently of tea to do that. The option is yours.
kymidwife wrote:Because I've never done a comparison-tasting session of this nature, I want to be sure I get the most out of it. I am wondering, is there a recommendation for cleansing your palate and your sense of smell between each specimen?
As a rough means of comparison... they keep coffee beans at perfume counters, so you can inhale their aroma to refresh your olfactory sense between different perfume testers. Similarly, I did a wine tasting at a small winery once, and they gave me saltine crackers to cleanse my palate between tastings.
What should I have on hand for my tea-tasting? What works without interfering with aroma and flavor perceptions? Any advice?

LOVE 'em! (but not the smell)
Posted by Reviewer3071228 on Sep 19, 2008
I've always been one to stay up 'til the wee hours of the morning even when I was tired. I also have restless leg syndrome, which exacerbates my insomnia. I was hesitant to use any serious sleep medications, so I thought I'd try valerian (believe it or not, based on the recommendation of a holistic vet). These pills are magic, albeit stinky. I take two before getting into bed and they allow me to simply fall asleep when I'm tired. I've also noticed a marked decrease in my RLS since I'm sleeping better. My teenage son also struggles with the same conditions I do, so I gave the valerian to him (with pediatrician's okay) and he swears by them. Without the extra little calming affect, he'd be up through the night. They are non-addictive and don't really make you sleepy, just allow you to sleep when tired. Highly recommended to all who suffer as we USED TO!
Not Bad
Posted by Reviewer2781224 on Mar 30, 2009
250 capsules in person is a lot more than 250 imagined capsules! Huge bottle - lasts a really long time. I decided to try this stuff to see if I could take it instead of a klonopin for when I have more mild anxiety. I've found that it's not a bad alternative, but works best if taken at the beginning of the day - it makes me less prone to feel anxiety. It will not, however, do much about anxious feelings once they've already started. And as for helping to sleep, definitely take two. Overall, I'd say I'm fairly impressed. Definitely worth a try. Especially for the price!

This no frills non standardized supplement does the job.My wife and I use this regularly and find it enhances all phases of sleep. We get to sleep easier and sleep deeper. Great product at a great price.
Essential Relaxant.
Posted by Reviewer1885707 on Oct 26, 2009
It is essential to have as a relaxant. Not really for sleeping. It is a healthy herb to help unwind or calm yourself naturally. Very noticeable for the first few weeks, and dramatically tapers off. But still a great herb, that I will always have on hand. It is mild in comparison to kava kava though. It is a must have for anyone suffering any form of anxiety or chronic stress. Smells like funky gym equipment though!..lol
Valerian Root
Posted by Reviewer1872135 on Apr 23, 2008
Works well for muscle relaxation and stressful times...good sleep aid.
Anxiety, Sleep and overall stress
Posted by Reviewer1085742 on May 01, 2010
Though not advertised for Anxiety it works well for mild to slightly moderate levels. Have to try to steer the mind away from thoughts of worry also not just take it like a "pharm" pill. Helps with relaxation and going to sleep. Don't take too many at one time as it can actually INCREASE negative symptoms 3 should be about the maximum at one time Maybe 4. Go off of it occationally so your body/mind can adjust without it and it will be more effective if you have to use it again later. Can be taken during the day in smaller quanities without making sleepy just use less and guage your response to it. I will not be without this aid myself.
Now Valarien Root
Posted by Reviewer2438926 on Jul 27, 2014
I have Lyme insomnia - I havent slept unaided for 5 1/2 years now. I rely on valium, a special chinese crystalized herb called Yan Hu suo. Before I crashed with Lyme i had early morning waking for 19 years from the bacrerial infecton and I used to gobble down expemsive mexican valerian to get back to sleepat 4am. Since I discovered iherb(Thankyou iherb - you are an absolute godsend to those of us who spend a fortune on supplements - Im getting alot of my Lyme herbs here too so with out you I wouldnt be surviving),any way I find Nows Valerian capsules just as good as the expensive mexican(which I was told was better) and they help me sleep deeper. They're excellent AND a great price. Im buying alot of Now herbs. Bless - from Australia Tiana
Great product, fast shipping!
Posted by 5171905546835619228 on Apr 05, 2016
This product is a really good one. im using it for anxiety and sleeping problems along with melatonin which seem to knock me out after 30 mins. my anxiety is mostly irritability towards those who are close to me and i manage to feel "normal" towards others and not "hold grudges" for stupid things others have done. All in all, this product is awesome for anxiety and sleeping problems. i really recommend it. i have not tested other brands but this NOW brand is a great bang for the buck.
Didn't work for me
Posted by Reviewer1257191 on Nov 17, 2008
I tried this product for a few weeks, and I didn't notice any difference, in fact, it may have kept me awake. It smells TERRIBLE as well.
Relaxing effect aids sleeping
Posted by Reviewer2862031 on Apr 19, 2008
Works very well. After about an hour I can feel relaxation taking place in neck muscles that I previously noticed were tense. Once asleep I stay asleep till it's time to get up.

Honey-Fried Walleye RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 5 8
We fish on most summer weekends, so we have lots of fresh fillets. Everyone who tries this crisp, golden fish loves it. It's my husband's favorite, and I never have leftovers. Honey gives the coating a deliciously different twist. —Sharon Collis, Colona, Illinois
Recommended: Fish Fry Recipes
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 cup coarsely crushed saltines (about 22 crackers)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 to 6 walleye fillets (about 1-1/2 pounds)
- Canola oil
- Additional honey
- In a shallow bowl, beat egg and honey. In another bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, flour, salt and pepper. Dip fillets into egg mixture, then coat with crumb mixture.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4 in. of oil; fry fish over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Drizzle with honey. Yield: 4-6 servings.

Our BBG looks tired with good reason. Probably has jet lag, too. Paris trip was very successful for her, though!ReplyDelete
Kristen looks tired. The papz in LA is the worst. I hope she got home safely.ReplyDelete
Man there are a LOT of photos it most be overwhelming with all of the paps, but this is not the first time she should be used to it, I was wondering, lately when she comes out she is with her headphones but with all of the screaming the music should be pretty loud so she can't hear the mean paps screaming at her?!? but she looks beautiful as always, love ya Kristen!!!love the clothes she wore to Paris
b.t.w. love her shoes!!!
I hope that music is really loud so she doesn't have to hear them.Delete
Agree, when she went to Toronto thank god she had her headphones because the paps were saying nasty things to her!!!Delete
I doesn't look like she has her headphones in. :( I can't even image what she had to hear. She look it very well.Delete
It doesn't look like she has her headphones on. :( I can only imagine what she had to hear. Well, I'm glad she didnt give the stupid paps what they wanted.Delete
Yeah she has them on her pocket but doesnt have them on, we have to see a video so we can hear if somebody said something to her but still glad she is back and safe at home!!!Delete
There is a video, but Its not so pleasent to see. She has the headphones on, but she can probably hear some of the comments they say. They are really nasty, and its awful to see, its around 20 paparazzi, they are asking if they are back together and calling her nasty names like cheater. I understand why they have posted the video her, its a like a big group of men attaching/bulling a young girl. I feel really bad for her, she doesnt deserve this. Luckually she has 3 bodyguards..Delete
Is that HBG it looks like him. Kristen beautiful as always. :) I really want her hairReplyDelete
That is HBG :-)Delete
Yay! HBG is back. I think he's been doing an excellent job protecing Kristen for the past few year.Delete
does anyone know what that red thing is in the middle of her pendant?ReplyDelete
A dove.Delete
good question...it looks like a Madonna & child. is it really a gift from Rob? a locket with pictures of him & Kristen inside?? if anyone knows, it'd be cool to know. thx!Delete
good quesion....it looks like a Madonna & child. is it true it's a gift from Rob? a locket containing pics of him & Kristen?? if so, awwwww--just adorbs! <3 them!Delete
Yes it was a gift from Rob. It has pics of them inside with a quote in latin. It's a dove on the front.Delete
How do you know it? A picture inside? Really? Wow!!Delete
This is a different necklace than the usual one. The usual one is mostly red. This one is mostly yellow. Anyone know why?Delete
I havent really seen kristen flip the off.ReplyDelete
Welcome home beautiful😊😊😊ReplyDelete
is a cross if you look at it closly to me it look like a cross.ReplyDelete
I think it's really sweet that he gave her something special like that, s special locket with photos of them inside it and a quote in Latin i wonder what it says? it must be something beautiful. you could tell that he means so much to her because even when things where a little rocky between them she still kept it on, it must have given her comfort through those tough times. I am glad that Robert has forgiven her now and is willing to work things out with her. I believe that he made the right choice in leaving when this whole mess started, i think he realized that he was so angry that he just had to go, get away from her for a little while to just calm down and clear his head and work out where they stand. it was painful for Kristen I know it was because she was probably feeling vulnerable and a little fragile too but i think in that time they where apart she knew what he really meant to her and also that she can be strong too, she can get through this mess. It must have been hard to be around her then to watch her just withdraw into herself a lot more and detach herself from the world. She just wanted to hide away and never come out and I think she was so brave in Toronto, because even though she was scared and worried and just wanted to disappear she didn't disappoint her fans and she put on a brave face and talked however little she did and even though she was depressed and sad she stood strong and took it in her stride. That's the Kristen I know, that's the person who has helped me throughout all these years and I am so proud of her for being brave and showing that she is strong. Robert must have seen that and known that he missed her so much and that he knew she needed a little help to get back on her feet and it's time that they talked this whole thing out and worked it out and they did and they still are. They are back together now and you can see the dramatic change in Kristen I mean she's eating again and she looks a little happier although there is still a sadness in her eyes. She'll never forgive herself for what happened but she will move past this and become a better stronger person for it, they will come out of this and be stronger as a couple i wouldn't be surprised if they get married in a few years time. Alma do you think that everything is OK with them now, Do you think Robert made the right choice in getting away to clear his head.ReplyDelete
Sorry, Jenna, I've slightly different opinion about this. If Rob didn't get away then Kristen wouldn't make that public apology. Then there will be another scenario. We're just the outsiders who know nothing about what happen that day. May be they never broke up since day one. It's the media stir the dirt and make it so dramatic. Anyway, I'm glad Kristen has weathered the storm and move on. It's hard to see her suffering like this. Wish her all the best.Delete
your right, I completely agree maybe this whole, they broke up thing is a product of the media to sell magazines and he forgave her before we knew what was going on heck she probably told him about what happened before the Media printed the story she wouldn't lie to him, she's an honest person and was upfront with him which in the long rum may have made Robert slightly less angry. And your right we are outsiders we have no idea what really went on that day all we can do now is be supportive and move on, Kristen and Rob have and they will be stronger for it, lets just be fans and be proud of them. I am really happy she's not suffering as much anymore, I still think it's because of Robert and all those around her that helped her get back though.Delete
couldn't agree with you more Jenna!! It was really sad knowing that Kristen was so depressed at first, I just wanted to know were she was and give her a big warm hug, I'm sure a lot of us fans would've wanted, and I'm very sure somebody was giving her that hug but im sure she only wanted Rob's hug!!!!but I'm glad to hear she is a little better now and wanted to cry of proudness when I saw her at TIFF she was sooo pretty and brave, but I hope everyone moves on for the better because everybody learned something about this and I hope that Kristen can forgive her self ( if she hasn't yet) so she could come back to the lovely, funny etc. that we love and adore!!Delete
Yeah it was horrible knowing she was really depressed back then and she probably did only want Rob's big worm cuddles, but she had other good friends around her that where looking out for her while Robert wasn't around. we all know Kristen is one that beats herself up more than anybody else, Robert may have forgiven her and got back together with her but in doing so he's trying to get her to come out of her shell again so that she could be that happy, funny, lovely, carefree person that he fell in love with and his biggest challenge in helping Kristen is ultimately the fact that she is harder on herself then anyone else it's going to take him a while to convince her that she's worthy of his forgiveness and that although he will never forget what happened he will always love her no matter what, she must ha lost a lot of self confidence and that is going to be the hardest thing that everyone around Kristen is going to face trying to get her back on her feet again. I was so proud that she came out at TIFF because it showed that Kristen is dedicated to her work and she is proud of the movie and everyone in it and although she wanted to hide away she came out for the fansDelete
Hey Alma do you know what the locket says inside it. I think it's a really sweet gift from Rob, you can tell that Kristen really loves it I mean she doesn't take it off she's always wearing it I think it's one of her favorite gifts from Rob. It seems that all the jewelry she wears has some significance to her, they are tokens from her friends and family and her love for Robert. I am glad to see she's doing a little bit better now and I think that has something to do with Robert being with her again and talking to her. I hope the rumors are true that he forgave her and is giving her a second chance. What do you guys think is going on, do you think he's forgiven her now and they are working things out. I bet that Robert's the one that helping her get back on her feet again, I think he's been making sure that she's eating again and sleeping, I can see him doing that I bet he was worried when he first saw her again. I think although all those close to Kristen tried to help her get back up again, it was only Robert that could really help her and she was holding onto things that remind her of him through that tough time i think they gave her comfort and made her feel safe again. I live in Australia, In Melbourne and their has been in the news lately the case of a missing woman Jillian, she went missing 8 days ago walking home in the early Saturday morning here in Australian time, Friday in your time. She was walking home from a Bar on a busy road, she was abducted, raped and murdered. the husband went to social media appealing for anybody to help find her CCTV footage led them to a suspect who was arrested late Thursday night Australian time, Wednesday your time, he led them to her body. Now all the women of Australia are afraid to walk alone outside, for fear this may happen to them too. there is a outpouring of grief for that poor husband who tried desperately to find her only to find her dead a week later. She was only 29 years old. this whole case makes me afraid to walk outside my door at night, It goes to show that while we may think that we are safe and that no man would ever do something like that especially in these modern times, it happens everywhere. As A woman I appeal to all women to be vigilant and to look after each other and for men to always look out for there girlfriends, their sisters, their mothers and all those who are vulnerable and to protect them. I know this would be something both Robert and Kristen would be passionate about, preventing violence against women. Especially Kristen this kind of thing affects her and she's made it known that Speak and Welcome to the Riley s has made her want to help victims of violence and abuse. Robert would never stand for something like that either, he wouldn't want anything like that happening to anyone he knows, his sisters, his mother, his friends and least of all Kristen. I know that Kristen's strong but when all those paparazzi are surrounding her it's really scary. she must be afraid for her life, she just gets lost in the crowd, it's not safe for her, I'm glad she has Robert looking out for her when he's with her and she's got the security guards. Can you imagine being in a situation like that, she doesn't know who these guys are and what they want, what if something like this happened to her because she thought she was safe, it's so scary to think that you could be literally five minutes away from your house like Jill and never make it home. I hope that Kristen is always careful and does her best to protect herself, I'm sure she does but it really hits home that someone is capable of something as terrible as that and no matter if your Kristen Stewart or just and average everyday woman your always vulnerable to an attack like this, that your boyfriend, your husband, your parents, your family may find you dead.ReplyDelete
Kristen has been in my prayer. I think she'll be alright. But you got a point, everybody should learn a bit self-defense skill to deal with unexpected situation.Delete
yeah I agree, we all need to watch out for each other, when your going home at night always go with a friend, look out for your friends and family, keep them safe. Whats so heartbreaking about Jilli's case is that this whole thing happened on a busy street at 1:30 in the morning, there where people passing by, watching this whole thing happening, yet nobody was there to help her before he dragged her into the alleyway, maybe Jill would be alive and well, or recuperating with her husband, if someone stopped this man from perusing her, people passed by on the street not knowing what was happening. this woman was missing for a week before they found her, what would her husband be going through right now. I know for sure Kristen can protect herself, I am sure she knows to always be really careful, but as tough as Kristen is, I don't know if she has the strength in her to take on a really big guy with a weapon, he could easily over power her. She's a tough cookie, she's proved that when she weathered the storm of the past few months, she knows how to defend herself, she'll be fine. I hope those body guards have taught her a thing or two about self defense, but I can see Kristen as someone who will make sure never to go anywhere, or leave anywhere at night without somebody else with her, she'll always make sure her friends are safe no matter where she is and keeps her phone on at all times, in case she needs to call Rob or one of the guards if she feels afraid. Speak and Welcome to the Riley's taught her that I'm sure of it. I am sure Rob always makes sure she's with him when they leave anywhere, in fact he lets her go out first and then he follows her and makes sure that she gets into the car safely before he gets in. This cause must be something close to their hearts don't you think.Delete
The storm has pass now guys...we can only focus in the future from now on. Let the sun shines and hope for the best.
Everyone learnt a lesson from this experience, in a positive note they realize the importance of their love for each other. This includes us fans who stand united behind her.
All we can do is support her and Rob with all our love and respect like what Robsten Dreams blog all about.
Thank you ...thank you.
Couldn't agree with you more. It's time for us to move on and just be fans. People really need to stop bringing up what happened. It certainly doesn't help the situation. Let's all just be positive and have faith. In the end it's them and not us… all we can do is be supportive :)Delete
I only discovered this site a few days ago and must say it's fabulous! I recently left another site due to all the negativity and veiled, nasty comments so this is like a breath of fresh air! I am addicted already! :-)ReplyDelete
I know this site is great. There's no negativity, but moderation is not as strict as the previous site I visited therefore your opinion is taken into account. My view is, if you don't like Rob and Kristen, don't visit a fan site dedicated to them!
I've only been visiting this site a few weeks, but it seems to be gaining in popularity from what I can see.
I think this site has gotten more popular as well since many other sites like this shut down or changed their attitude to something unpleasant. I've been coming to this site since the beginning of summer and I've been here everyday since. I really do like it here. Thank you creators for making such wonderful blog and keeping it up everyday.Delete
Kristen was amazing in Paris....being there agrees with her.
Welcome home, Kristen! Welcome back HBG!
AND...Thank you to this wonderful blog and for NOT giving up on our beautiful couple.
i dont have twitter or facebook but i do read them..lots of good intel people once they are weeded out..from the mongels!!...this is a sweet blog too!...hoping KRISTEN has no projects next year...R&R...STAY CLOSE TO ROB..while he films his projects....be SAFE!!ReplyDelete
exatamente,agora a kristen pode aproveitar a folga para ficar perto do rob,enquanto ele trabalha.ReplyDelete
o rob e a kris,merecem toda a felicidade,depois de tudo de ruim,que aconteceu com eles.ReplyDelete
felicidades ao casal.ReplyDelete
a kristen precisa do apoio do rob,e dos fas,para superar tudo isso.ReplyDelete
eu ja percibi,que a kristen se sente mais segura,quando o rob esta ao seu lado,eu acho isso tao lindo,espero anciosamente para ve-los aparecerem juntos novamente,espero que isso aconteca logo.ReplyDelete
iam really happy that rob and kristen are back, but sad to knw that all u guys are supporting only kristen n no one is talkin abt rob. dnt u think rob is the bigger person here.. i luv kristen for sure but actually v al hav to appreciate rob here.. he can get any girl he wants but kristen vl b happy only with rob.. rob and kristen are meant to be together.. v al should remember wat rob had to go through even though it was nt his fault.. i really hope one day il meet a gentle and sensitive guy like rob.. every girl shld get a guy like rob.. rob and kristen u guys rock.. luv u both.. u guys will always b in my prayers..ReplyDelete
I'm a robsten fan. After the news broke, it seems that Rob is alright from most of the pics shown. But one can see a sorrowful and weary Kristen from the pics at TIFF or PFW or elsewhere. I don't know what had happened to her since then, I just hope she could get over it and get her oldself back. If the media is reliable, right now I just hope robsten could have some private time to relax before BD2 promo.Delete

Pedestrians share Gibraltar runwayMonday, June 29th, 2009
Even when the new tunnel under the Gibraltar runway is completed, pedestrians and emergency vehicles will continue to stop air traffic and use Winston Churchill Avenue above ground to cross it. In the past it could take 10 minutes to clear people and traffic off the runway so an aircraft could land. The tunnel will be an improvement. This shot was taken by world traveler Robert Gannon after landing in his Cessna 182, and those tiny dots on the runway are traffic and people. The Gibraltar Airport is 1,600 feet from the city, the shortest commute of any major airport in the world. CLICK PHOTOS TO ENLARGE

I thought it was unusually sketchy, but I still like it. I also like the old fashioned woodcut-like graphics. True, I picked mine up in a cut-out bin in the 80s.
I haven't heard any bona fide comments on why it was written so, so I just figured that George intended it to have a rather random form. I do know that he rather disliked anything that contributed to people fawning over the Fabs. It also may be that he had some skeletons that he wanted to leave in the closet, and would have been accused of being hypocritical if he didn't address them. So what we got is "George-lite," lol.

Look; I dont like all the mindless gun violence! I live in a place were kids shoot each for their shoes or jackets!
But good people like us have to be ready to defend ourselves from the Hitlers, Stalins, and Hussiens of the world!
There would be a swastika or a sickle and hammer flying over our country right now if we had a pacifist attitude toward weapons of war.
We all want world peace but as long as their are people who will try to enslave the free, guns will be an evil neccesity!

Sentiment against the retailer was late to arrive here, but has. Opponents give several reasons.
By DAN DEWITT
Published May 13, 2007
SPRING HILL - When Arline Erdrich rallied opposition against a proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter in 1999, her sanity and patriotism were questioned, and before one meeting, her life was threatened.
"Somebody called and said, 'You better watch out because we're going to have people there with guns, ' " said Erdrich, founder of the Coalition for Anti-Urban Sprawl and the Environment.
"Not only were people saying Wal-Mart was great, but that we were crazy. They said we were anti-American."
Eight years later, support for Wal-Mart in Hernando has waned and fighting it has gone mainstream. Dozens of residents attended a meeting on Wednesday, when the County Commission considered a plan to build what would have been Hernando's fourth supercenter, on Barclay Avenue near Spring Hill Drive.
All of the residents who spoke opposed the project. All of the commissioners voted against it.
Though opponents were careful to say they had nothing against Wal-Mart and commissioners said their votes were based on concerns about increased traffic and residents' safety, not everyone believes them.
The vote was clearly political, said Anna Liisa Covell, a member of the county Planning and Zoning Commission, which in April recommended approving the plan for the store. Its members agreed with county planners that the retailer had a clear right to build on the Barclay site.
"If this were a JCPenney or a Target store, I don't think it would have been a problem, " Covell said. "It's a nationwide thing that Wal-Mart is political poison."
'Greed gone berserk'
This trend was late to arrive in Hernando County.
In 1991, when the company announced plans to build its distribution center in Ridge Manor West, county Commissioner June Ester said: "I can't think of any negative impact at all."
The first supercenter on State Road 50 opened in 1996 with shoppers raving about the variety of merchandise. The Brooksville supercenter was approved without controversy in 2001, and members of the Coalition for Anti-Urban Sprawl and the Environment, which fought the plan to build the store on U.S. 19, were mostly coastal residents concerned about the loss of bear habitat.
Wal-Mart's declining public image is only one of several reasons for Wednesday's vote, Erdrich and others said.
The 185, 000-square-foot store planned for Barclay would have been across the street from the Pristine Place residential development and within 11/2 miles of 6, 600 residential lots, opponents said. Four schools, including Powell Middle School, are in the same area.
That contrasts with the store on U.S. 19, Erdrich said, which "was not impinging on people's property and their roads. It was not causing them any discomfort."
Also, as counties grow they usually become more selective about development, said Gary Schraut, a Brooksville real estate broker. While Hernando business leaders lobbied hard for the distribution center, he said, "the city of Winter Haven fought like hell to keep that out of their community. We were like, 'Hey, these might not be the best jobs in the world, but (Ridge Manor) doesn't have any jobs at all.' "
Now, on the west side of the county, residents are feeling the effect of a retail practice called "saturation marketing."
While supercenters were once built 15 miles apart or more, company policy now allows for new stores to be built as close as 2 miles from existing ones, the retailer has said.
Besides three supercenters, the company operates a Sam's Club wholesale outlet in Hernando, giving the county more stores per capita than any of its neighbors and one of the highest concentrations of Wal-Mart-owned stores in the state.
That is one of several legitimate reasons that political opinion has turned against the company, said Linda Prescott, who also fought the U.S. 19 store. Wal-Mart has been cited by the federal government for water pollution and hiring undocumented workers; it has been successfully sued for forcing employees to work off the clock.
Wal-Mart "epitomizes greed gone berserk, " Prescott said.
Wal-Mart cries foul
Such sentiments are unfair, company representatives have said, and have been spread by union-funded groups such as Wal-Mart Alliance for Reform Now, which supported residents in their fight against the store on Barclay.
And regardless of the commissioners' opinions about the company, they had no grounds to vote down plans for the Barclay store, Wal-Mart's lawyer, James Porter, said Wednesday. The land had been zoned for commercial use and is exempt from the county comprehensive plan because it was approved as part of a larger development in 1983, before the comp plan was written, Porter said.
Though the company has not decided whether to challenge the decision in court, spokeswoman Quenta Vettel said Friday, County Attorney Garth Coller said he expects a suit.
Wal-Mart has a good chance of winning, said Joe Mason, a Brooksville lawyer who handles land-use issues.
In a 1993 case - Snyder vs. the Brevard County Commission - a judge's ruling set standards for land-use decisions in Florida that have applied ever since, Mason said.
The ruling requires commissioners, like jurors, to base their decisions on information backed by documentation or expert witnesses - "competent, substantial evidence, " as the ruling calls it.
That does not include general concerns about safety mentioned by several commissioners, Mason said. Nor does it allow commissioners to "analyze things subjectively, " as Commissioner David Russell claimed before casting his vote Wednesday.
"Snyder says, 'Uh-uh. No way, ' " Mason said.
Will company sue?
Russell said he expects the company to sue, but hopes it won't.
He thinks that by challenging the county's decision, the company might add to the negative image that helped defeat the project.
If Wal-Mart pushes a store that was opposed by surrounding residents and voted down unanimously by commissioners, he said, "I think (a suit) could cause a problem for Wal-Mart."

Few moments are as emblazoned on the pages of history as that of the Nazi book burnings in 1933. This was, for many, the first introduction to a group driven by hatred and blinding xenophobia; for Americans in particular, this act of "cleansing" stuck as direct opposition to the very freedoms this country was founded upon.
On May 10, 1933, as university students across Germany burned thousands of books, a line was being drawn, separating Nazi Germany from the world and putting the country on the eventual path toward the conflagration of World War II. To explore those fateful events and how it became a poignant symbol in the American fight against the fascist regime, the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach has partnered with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for the exhibition "Banned and Burned: Literary Censorship and the Loss of Freedom." The display is part of the USHMM's traveling exhibit, "Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burning," on display through January 6.
Meticulously planned by the German Student's Association's Main Office for Press and Propaganda, the Nazi Book Burnings on May 10, 1933—proclaimed nationwide as an "action against the un-German spirit"—was somewhat of a culmination of the Nazi revolution of January 30, 1933. German university students across the nation (34 cities in all) were encouraged, in mass demonstration, to "cleanse" the country of books—both academic and literary—deemed subversive to the Nationalist Socialist regime, thus beginning an era of censorship and state-controlled culture. Books from authors like Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Sigmund Freud, Jack London and others deemed un-German were targeted for the perceived subversive nature they may instill in the increasingly authoritarian and domineering Nazi Party. These demonstrations were universally condemned outside of Germany and later used in the United States as a symbol of tyranny and rallying point for national unity in the fight against fascism.
"Banned and Burned" and "Fighting the Fires of Hate" explore this tumultuous time and the continued effect these public acts of censorship and submission have had on the modern world, from Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451 to popular culture of today. As the calendar turns to 2013, it marks the eightieth anniversary of the Nazi book burnings—a solemn reminder of our collective past and that tyranny, hate and persecution still linger, but collectively, it can be overcome.
"Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings" is on display through January 6 at the Mandel Public Library in West Palm Beach. A number of events and programs are schedule in congruence to "Banned and Burned," each giving insight into the lead up of the book burning, international reaction and the backlash of censorship. The November lineup is as follows:
- November 7, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., the opening reception "Freedom: Spectrum of Banned and Burned" features an overview of the exhibition; a discussion with Jim Bachner, a Holocaust survivor who was in Berlin during the book burnings; and a performance by the Symphonic Band of the Palm Beaches of music banned in Nazi Germany. RSVP is required; call 561-868-7715.
- On November 17, form 2-3 p.m., students from Dreyfoos School of the Arts will perform Burning, a physical expression of the "actions and motivations behind the banning and burning of books and censorship."
- November 19, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., attorney Barry Slotnick will lead the discussion "Does the First Amendment Really Protect Freedom from Censorship and Freedom of the Press?"—an apropos topic with direct connection to the 1933 events and the current state of our country's personal freedoms. RSVP required; call 561-868-7715.
- November 28, from noon 1:30 p.m., participants in the open discussion "Banned … Now and Then" will discuss the messages that led to the banning of the books The Great Gatsby, A Farewell to Arms, The Hunger Games and the Harry Potter series.
- Also on November 28, from 6-8 p.m., the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach presents the film Paper Clips, a documentary about how a small town studied the Holocaust.

BOSTON – What happened in right field Friday afternoon at Fenway Park changed a game but it doesn't account for the Tampa Bay Rays losing their grip on fundamental baseball.
That's not how they do business.
But seizing an opening and turning it into a 12-2 victory in Game 1 of their American League Division Series is exactly what you'd expect from the Boston Red Sox.
BOX SCORE: Red Sox 12, Rays 2
It got so one-sided that the every player in the Red Sox lineup had at least one hit and one run. Could a game like that – and maybe even a five-game series – really swing on one play?
It did and ended with two pertinent questions:
Why did Rays rookie right fielder Wil Myers let David Ortiz's fly ball land on the warning track in fourth inning when Myers appeared to be ready to make the catch?
CHEMISTRY CLASS: Red Sox pass with flying colors
Simple, Myers says:
"No one called me off the ball. I just didn't make the right play."
Unacceptable, certainly.
And Rays manager Joe Maddon agrees: "Really a routine play. He saw something out of the corner of his eye (that would be center fielder Desmond Jennings) and he backed off. Very unfortunate. "
Unfortunate, yes, which takes us to the second question: Why did the Rays break down so completely in what became an interminable-for-them, game-changing five-run inning?
That's the more difficult one to explain and the one that matters most if this is to be a competitive best-of-five series.
"We'll be back tomorrow," Maddon says. "I promise you. We will not be affected mentally by tonight's game."
The Rays looked shaken in that fourth inning.
The Red Sox, who were hitless the first three innings against Rays starter Matt Moore, had turned a 2-0 deficit into a 5-2 lead in the inning and had eight runs and 10 hits by the end of the fifth.
After Dustin Pedroia led off the fourth with a single, Ortiz hit a towering fly ball.
Myers moved into position in deep right-center field – in front of the Red Sox bullpen – and waved as if he had the play under control, then reacted as if he was called off the ball.
Forget the conspiracy theories about a fan in the nearby bleachers or someone in the even-closer Red Sox bullpen fooling Myers.
"We use hand signals out there," he says. "I have to take control of that."
Fenway Park fans chanted Myers' name frequently for the rest of the game -- but it was his teammates who played as if they were shaken.
Moore retired Mike Napoli on a pop-up, but then former Tampa Bay player Jonny Gomes doubled off the left-field wall to erase the lead the Rays had built on solo home runs by Sean Rodriguez and Ben Zobrist against Boston starter Jon Lester.
Then, the real meltdown began and the Red Sox simultaneously were all in on taking advantage of the opportunity. With two outs, Stephen Drew barely got to first base ahead of Moore, who was trying to get there in time to take a throw from first baseman james Loney. And Moore didn't react quickly enough as Gomes raced home from second.
Will Middlebrooks then doubled, Drew scoring because Rodriguez had the wrong angle on the carom off the Green Monster left field wall. Middlebrooks advanced to third when catcher Jose Lobaton committed a passed ball on a third strike to Jacoby Ellsbury that should have ended the inning, then scored on a single by Shane Victorino.
That's about as ugly an inning as you can have without committing and error.
"We're normally not the team that makes those kinds of mistakes," Maddon says. "We made a bunch, whether that or covering first base and not looking home, or missing a strike three."
Rodriguez had more trouble gauging a bounce off the wall in the fifth when Jarrod Saltalamacchia drove in two more runs.
Left field usually get the attention but it was right field this time.
Shane Victorino, in his first year as Boston right fielder, sympathizes – sort of.
He was so confused by what happened to Myers that he went back to the wall the next inning to make sure the sun had not become an issue.
"If you pull up because the center fielder call, that's one thing," Victorino says. "If you pull up because you see him out of the corner of your eye, you're not in good position. Hey, I don't feel bad because we scored. I hope he makes a few more (mistakes) only because we get to win."
The Red Sox won because of much more than the Rays mistakes.
"We capitalized and that's good," Victorino says.
They can further capitalize Saturday if they can beat Rays ace David Price, who won at Fenway in July in what Boston manager John Farrell calls "a dominant game." Price allowed only two hits into the eighth inning that day.
"We can't take our foot off the gad pedal," Gomes says. "We continue to apply pressure."
And it's squarely up to the Rays to show they can handle it.

Re-eally Good!
Posted by Reviewer2010946 on May 01, 2012
This is not just good chocolate, it's a delicious candy. I try to eat a Paleo diet for the most part, and dark chocolate is a nice addition, but I try to avoid excess added sugar when I get it. This has peppermint sugar bits in it, but it is such a small amount, that the nutritional information on the label isn't too much different from other dark chocolates. And the taste! Well! Let's just say it's stepped to the top of the list of dark chocolates I've been keeping company with lately! The flavor is intense enough that you really don't want to lay into the bar and chomp it all down at once, too, so while it's delicious, a small part of the bar satisfies.
Equal Exchange, Chocolates, Mint Chocolate with a Delicate Crunch

it is very tasty and fragrant!

Very tasty. Liked it!
Simply delicious!

This chocolate is crunchy and with a strong taste of mint...so far my favourite from equal exchange!
Peppermint Crispy Minty Goodness
Posted by wholefoods on Aug 15, 2012
Excellent mint flavor. I liked the mint "crunch" of this bar compared to a general mint flavor for other bars. Its sort of like having little rice crispies inside a dark chocolate coating, only the crispies are really peppermint, which is much better. I appreciate that Equal Exchange is fair trade and sources from community co-ops. When I'm looking for the top of the line fair trade chocolate product, Equal Exchange is one of the first products I turn to.
love mint

I love mint chocolate. Finally!!I got the dark mint chocolate here!! I'm really happy!! The dark chokate and mint are well balanced.

I will buy this again and again without a doubt. This was so good. It reminded me of the thin mints girl scout cookies, but much, much better! Wow. I have bought so many Equal Exchange bars over the last 5 years. I'm so sad I didn't try this one until just now. You will not regret this purchase.

Very nice tasting and minty chocolate, but a little too sweet for my taste.
Ethical chocolate

Yummy and refreshing peppermint crunchies. I feel good about the sourcing of the chocolate and the ingredients. 100% organic and soy free. One of the very few brands of chocolate that does not contain soy lecithin...or any lecithin for that matter. It's a good quality dark chocolate. Nice flavor and finish. Kosher-parve, dairy -free and non-GMO. Gluten-free.
