--FIVE OWLS, March/April 1991
Hurray! At long last primary school educators and lovers of children's literature have an accurate American Indian book written for primary children. The author and illustrator have made Ten Little Rabbits into ten little Indian characters, and this book is a valuable replacement for the old, stereotypical ten little Indians rhyme. The rabbits are not playing Indian but are Indian people with the gentleness, affection, and skills of the ancient ones. In many authentic American Indian stories, animals are able to humanize and are interchangeable with people. Often the main chararcter takes rabbit characteristics while remaining truly Indian and having human-style experiences.
The book begins with one lonely traveler on a travois, followed by two graceful Tewa corn dancers on the next page, and, on the page following, three smoke signalers against a vast expanse of plains. Then, with a bit of humor, four clever trackers look for clues, their tiny size accentuated in comparison with the bear track they find. Five storytellers take readers into the chill of winter as they huddle around the campfire trying to keep warm. Clearly these are not the same rabbits from page to page--each page portrays a different tribe. Additional information about each tribe and the activities portrayed in the pictures is included in the back of the book.
Worries about storms and scenes of childish play intertwine with rich cultural facts. These busy little rabbits depict a well-rounded lifestyle of very human activities. The Kwakiutl animal masks and cedar bark robes and brightly colored Navajo rugs make this book a delightful visual treat. The story's ending, as sleepy little rabbits fall asleep in their traditional Dakota homes, exudes warmth and comfort.
Writer Virginia Grossman and artist Sylvia Long, a Dakota Indian, have created this book with honestly and careful attention to authenticity and beauty, and the result is a high-quality combination of rhyme, culture, and artistic expression that will please children.
--BOOKLIST, April 1991
Grossman interprets the cultures of various American Indian tribes through a counting book in which the characters are rabbits dressed as Indians. Though this may sound a bit precious, it's not: the gravity of the characters' demeanor precludes any silliness here. Earth tones predominate in ink-and-watercolor artwork that stretches across wide, double-page spreads. The illustrations are interpreted in brief rhymed couplets (one line per spread): "One lonely traveler riding on the plain./ Two graceful dancers asking for some rain." A key to the pictures, found at the end of the book, explains how each relates to the customs or artifacts of a particular tribe. Bits about the tribes may be helpful, but the information given is minimal. Preschool and kindergarten teachers looking for picture books that cut across the curriculum will find this a good way to combine a unit on native Americans with counting practice.
--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, Best Books of 1991, November 1991
With striking earth tones, this ingenious counting book blends reality and fantasy in its portrayal of a group of Native Americans--bunnies all--engaged in characteristic activities.
--SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, June 1991
Not a book about numbers, but a quiet, respectful survey of some Native American customs organized through the structure of a counting rhyme, populated by rabbits dressed in traditional garb, from "one lonely traveler riding on the plain" to "ten sleepy weavers knowing day is done." Notes at the back identify each tribe represented (Plains, Pueblo, Great Lakes, Northwestern, and Southwestern peoples), and provide information about the pictures. The rabbits have an earnest charm reminiscent of Marjorie Flack's industrious family

EXCLUSIVE: Fringe star John Noble is reuniting with Fox and the series' co-creators Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci. Noble is set for a major recurring role on Fox's new drama series Sleepy Hollow, co-created/executive produced by Kurtzman and Orci. He will appear later in the season as Henry Parrish, a kind and reclusive man who possesses supernatural powers that have the potential to help the series' protagonist, Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison). The news comes on the heels of a strong premiere for Sleepy Hollow, which posted Fox's biggest opening for a fall drama series in 7 years with 10.1 million viewers and a 3.5 in 18-49. Noble, who was a fan favorite for his portrayal of eccentric scientist Walter Bishop on Fringe, will also be reprising his role on The Good Wife next season as Matthew Ashbaugh, Alicia's (Julianna Magulies) very rich, eccentric client who was murdered. He is repped by Seven Summits Management and Coast to Coast.
'Fringe's John Noble Joins 'Sleepy Hollow'
14 Comments
Walter!!! Wow, completely exciting. I love John Noble and he should have been recognized for his work on Fringe, and I am glad I will be getting to see him again….because Sleepy Hollow was just amazing. I loved the first episode. It drew me in and made me really want to know these characters and the show. Looking forward to it!
Agree with you 100 percent! It'll be so good to see Mr. Noble perform again. He was wonderful as Walter and Walternate on Fringe, a series I miss even though the plotlines became a wee bit confusing at times. Sleepy Hollow started with a bang. Hope it continues. Male lead is fantastic!
I agree. It's an actual pity he didn't get an Emmy™ for his role on Fringe — truly amazing work.
YEAH! Absolutely! I'd nominate the writers as well, but especially Mr. Noble! Good work, Sir!
Awesome. A good show just got even better with this great actor.
Fun news. But I really wished he's gotten picked to be the new Doctor.
John Noble what an outstanding find for this show,love it!
Well I was interested in this series anyway but Now I really going to tune in
What a waste. The show is going to get cancelled. Watch and see.
Yessssssssss!!! Beyond excited. I love the pilot and am looking forward to a really great ride, but this news just makes me smile from ear to ear. Good for Fox and the producers for getting the fantastic Noble back in the air.
I love John Noble and I am a Fringie to my last breath and I am so happy he will guest star on Sleepy Hollow. He is perfect for the role he will play. I find the trend of recurring guest stars on any J J Abrams (and anyone connected) TV series to be refreshing and greatly add to the series' interesting-ness. Think Ken Leung (POI) Peter Weller, Nimoy, Jorge Garcia (Fringe) etc.
Sleepy Hollow has been renewed for a second season amready. Good news for the show's fans.
The show has already been renewed for a second season.
Will Mr. Noble be a regular? I hope so!

INTRODUCTION: Hydroxychloroquine-induced cardiomyopathy is a rare and life-threatening condition characterized by restrictive hemodynamics. Drug cessation and aggressive afterload reduction halts disease allowing for clinical recovery. We present a 50-year-old woman with hydroxychloroquine-induced restrictive cardiomyopathy and correlate clinical, echocardiographic, and right heart catheterization (RHC) findings at initial presentation and following treatment.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 50 year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was referred to the pulmonary hypertension (PH) clinic for evaluation of worsening shortness of breath. She described progressive exertional dyspnea, lower extremity swelling, and increasing abdominal girth for 6 months. The patient's medical history was remarkable for complications of SLE including serositis with pericardial and pleural effusions; ascites; mesangiopathic nephritis; Raynaud's phenomenon; leucopenia; and anemia. Medications consisted of hydroxychloroquine (200 mg twice daily for over 10 years) and corticosteroids. Physical examination revealed resting tachycardia at 100 bpm, blood pressure 123/58 mmHg, respiratory rate 12, and oxygen saturation of 96% on room air. Pertinent findings included increased jugular venous pressure, diminished breath sounds at the base of the right lung with dullness to percussion, an accentuated P2 component of the second heart sound despite muffled heart sounds, a protuberant abdomen, and 2+ pitting edema to the knees. Chest X-ray demonstrated a right basilar pleural effusion. EKG was normal voltage, sinus rhythm with normal intervals and no evidence of ischemia or infarction. Transthoracic echocardiography (2D echo) revealed mild left ventricular dilatation, mild pericardial effusion, moderate mitral valve regurgitation, moderate tricuspid valve regurgitation and an estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (sPAP) of 52 mmHg. Pulmonary function tests demonstrated combined obstruction and restriction with normal diffusing capacity. A ventilation/perfusion scan demonstrated no evidence of chronic thromboembolic disease. Given the longstanding use of hydroxychloroquine as well as pericardial involvement of SLE, and after evaluation for pulmonary etiology of symptoms, our differential included both restrictive cardiomyopathy and constrictive pericarditis. A cardiac MRI was pursued and was non-revealing. A left/right heart cardiac catheterization (L/RHC) was performed demonstrating mean right atrial pressure (mRAP) of 16 mmHg with pronounced "x" and "y" descents; right ventricular end diastolic pressure (RVEDP) was 23 mmHg with square root sign; mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) was 29 mmHg; pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) was 22 mmHg; left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) was 24 mmHg. Cardiac output (CO) was 5.61 L/min by Fick. Cardiac index (CI) was 3.13 L/min/m2 by Fick. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was 1.25 Woods units. The equalization of pressures of the right ventricle, pulmonary artery, PCWP and left ventricle during diastole strongly suggested restrictive physiology. Hydroxychloroquine therapy was discontinued. Aggressive afterload reduction was instituted. The patient's symptoms resolved. Repeat 2D echo three months following discontinuation of hydroxychloroquine also suggested resolution, demonstrating sPAP of 36 mmHg. A repeat L/RHC one year after discontinuation of hyroxychloroquine demonstrated: mRAP 6 mmHg; RVEDP 13 mmHg; mPAP 23 mmHg; PCWP 11 mmHg. CO/CI were 4.07 L/min and 2.35 L/min/m2 by Fick respectively.
DISCUSSION: Hydroxycholoquine therapy is indicated to treat connective tissue disorders including SLE. Cardiovascular complications include myocardial thickening, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and conduction disorders. The time interval between initiation of therapy and development of complications has been documented to vary from 7 months to 25 years [1]. We present a case of prolonged hydroxychloroquine use resulting in clinical heart failure and restrictive cardiomyopathy as demonstrated by RHC. Discontinuation of hydroxychloroquine therapy and aggressive afterload reduction resulted in dramatic improvement in clinical symptoms and hemodynamics.
CONCLUSIONS: It is important to consider restrictive cardiomyopathy as an etiology of heart failure in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine.

Barclays was accused of ignoring anger over bonuses and running "business as usual" as it revealed a £1.5 billion pot for investment bankers today.
A 32% cut to the bonus pool at Barclays Capital in 2011 was in line with a 32% fall in profits at the investment arm and did not signal the change required, major shareholder group the Association of British Insurers (ABI) warned.
Providing more disclosure on bonuses in its annual results than previously, the bank said the average bonus for staff at Barclays Capital was cut by 30% to £64,000 in 2011 while the group's total bonus pool was down 25% at £2.2 billion.
However, chief executive Bob Diamond refused to be drawn on questions about his own bonus, amid reports he could be in line to receive a £3 million payout.
Robert Talbut, ABI investment committee chairman, said: "Whilst overall bonus levels at Barclays have been reduced, for Barclays Capital, this reduction is only in line with the fall in profit before tax. This appears to be very close to business as usual.
"It is not the signal of the change required in order to improve the investment case."
In response, Mr Diamond said: "We stay close with our shareholders and they are very supportive."
Addressing the wider issue of bonuses, the American banker said: "We need to balance remaining competitive with being responsive to the public mood."
The bank's moves to cap and slash bonuses were not enough to appease unions and anti-poverty campaigners as "serious questions exist about the moral backbone of those running the financial service sector".
The results come after weeks of conflict over bankers' bonuses, in which Royal Bank of Scotland chief Stephen Hester turned down his £963,000 bonus amid mounting pressure and Lloyds boss Antonio Horta-Osorio waived his payout following a leave of absence.
Asked if Mr Hester was right to waive his bonus given the current climate, Mr Diamond again refused to comment.
Barclays, which reported pre-tax profits of £5.9 billion for 2011, down 3% on the previous year, said it introduced a cap on the cash part of bonuses for investment bankers at £65,000.
The results said annual incentives for executive directors and the eight highest paid senior executive officers were down 48% compared to 2010 on a like-for-like basis, though Mr Diamond would not confirm how his own pay fitted into this decline.
But he confirmed Barclays would reveal the pay of the top eight highest paid staff at the bank when it publishes the annual report in mid-March.
Mr Diamond said the mood surrounding the industry was not positive but the private sector would only deliver much-needed growth to the wider economy with a "confident" banking sector.
David Fleming, Unite national officer, said: "The announcement on bonuses today by Barclays is yet another illustration of the banking sector continuing to ignore the public outrage and disgust at their behaviour."
David Hillman, spokesman for the Robin Hood Tax campaign, said: "Bob Diamond can only be hiding his bonus because he fears it will look unreasonable to most ordinary people. His potential pay package alone would keep hundreds of nurses and teachers in jobs."
Mr Diamond hailed Barclay's business lending record in 2011 as it beat the Project Merlin targets drawn up between Britain's top five banks and the Government.
Barclays delivered £43.6 billion of gross new lending to UK businesses, including £14.7 billion to small and medium-sized enterprises, exceeding its Merlin target by 13%.
"We really got on our horses to get businesses going," Mr Diamond said and later added: "We don't need Project Merlin - lending is what we do."
The improved lending figures came as the business revealed income growth in every division but investment arm BarCap.
The UK retail and business banking division, where customers increased by 3% to 760,000, saw pre-tax profits increase 60% to £1.4 billion, after stripping out the division's £400 million charge for mis-selling payment protection insurance (PPI).
The number of current accounts increased by 2% to 11.9 million, savings accounts were up 5% to 15.1 million, while mortgages increased 2% to 930,000.
Credit card business Barclaycard saw net operating income increase 21% to £2.8 billion, while pre-tax profits were up 53% to £1.2 billion, excluding the division's £600 million PPI hit.
Meanwhile, the bank slashed its bad debts by 33% to £3.8 billion and cut its debt exposure to struggling eurozone countries Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain by 14% to £7.1 billion.
Barclays shares were 3.5% higher after the results were published, but did dip into the red earlier in the session after it said it would hit its target to generate a return on equity of 13% later than 2013, after reporting a ratio of 6.6% last year.
BarCap saw pre-tax profits drop 32% to £2.96 billion in 2011 as market turmoil, sparked by recession and debt contagion fears in the eurozone, increased throughout the year.
The quarter-by-quarter breakdown at the division shows profits falling from £1.3 billion in the first three months of the year to £267 million in the fourth quarter.
Ian Gordon, analyst at Investec, said: "Bob Diamond's track record is unrivalled but today is not his finest hour."
He added: "It is BarCap's dominance of the group and the weak external environment that render the resilient performance across retail and business banking almost irrelevant."

In this volume, forty-nine species representing seventeen genera and nine families are treated. They belong to three main biological forms: grasses (Aizoaceae, Pedaliaceae, Polygalaceae and Xyridaceae pp), vines (Aristolochiaceae and Gnetaceae) and trees or shrubs (Hypericaceae, Lecythidaceae, Polygalaceae and Turneraceae pp). They meet in different settings ranging from the vegetation of coastal sands, through the forest to the recruits training primary or secondary within the country. Wetland environments and inselbergs are also home to many species described in this volume, including owned Xyridaceae. In addition, many taxonomic notes presented by the authors contribute to clarifications sometimes essential to the understanding of the synonymy of certain species, their combination or separation of a species and even a variety.

During preseason practice, Wauwatosa West coach Matt Good talked about how fast his team was going to be this year. After the Trojans scored 96 points in the first two games of the season, you could see what he was talking about.
Beating a weak St. Francis team, 50-7, in the opener was impressive from the 50 points the Trojans put on the board. That included scores of 62, 58, 51, 74 and 37 yards.
Last Friday, the Trojans took on a solid Whitnall team and walked - ran - away with an even more impressive 46-15 victory. The Trojans had long scores of 53, 93 and 32 yards.
"They are a fast team, and their skill players all have speed," said Whitnall first-year coach Jack Wallack. "Once they get out to the perimeter, they are tough to stop. They are just faster than us. This is one of the better Tosa West teams I have seen. There is a big group of seniors."
"We've got some guys who can run and other teams don't," a happy Tosa West coach Matt Good said afterward. "These guys are just going to continue to outrun guys, as long as we get guys in front of guys. We have some special, special players."
Some of these special players include senior Mickey Morgan and juniors Jameson Brock and Greg Lewis.
"Mickey doesn't come off the field," Good said. "It's a credit to his work ethic. He gets his body ready to go the other nine months of the year. When it's football time, you just see that kid's eyes light up and it's go-time. We rely on him."
Morgan, a two-way player, got the Trojans on the board with a 20-yard touchdown run at 10 minutes, 17 seconds of the first period and then intercepted a pass and raced in from 45 yards out for a 14-0 lead less that two minutes later. He rushed eight times for 77 yards (9.6 yards per carry).
Brock had 127 yards rushing in four attempts (31.8 YPC), which included an amazing 93-yard touchdown run down the sidelines in which he wove in and out of the Falcons secondary while breaking tackles along the way.
"J-Mo's a stud," Good said about his running back. "Another kid who's worked extremely hard, he's just poised to have a great year. Teams are going to have to get ready for him."
And last, but certainly not least, was Lewis, who accounted for 178 of the 466 yards rushing by the Trojans. The stocky running back (5 foot, 8 inches, 211 pounds) punishes runners inside. He averaged 13.7 YPC in 13 carries.
"That's our strategy," Good said. "We're going to run the ball, outside, outside, outside and when teams get tired, we're going to pound you inside. Greg's perfect for that. He just pounds on you."
The Trojans led 14-0 after one quarter, 28-6 at intermission and 33-8 going into the fourth quarter.
Junior quarterback Jared Morzinski completed 6-of-11 for 84 yards and a 20-yard touchdown pass to WR Develyn Ferguson to start the second quarter. He also scored on a 1-yard TD run set up by a long run by Lewis.
Even sophomore running back Demaris Purifoy got on the scoreboard with 5:13 left in the game with an 18-yard run as he rushed for 84 yards in eight carries (10.5 YPC).
The Trojans defense also did a good job. Whitnall rushed for 26 yards, but Whitnall quarterback Zach Sutton was sacked for 27 yards, leaving the Falcons with a -1 yards rushing. Sutton threw for 326 yards and a touchdown and ran for a score.
"Our kids worked their butts off the last nine months," Good said. "It's a tribute to them. They work hard and this is the fruits of their labor.
"They're special. They are doing the things they need to do to be successful."
Tosa West (2-0) now travels to New Berlin West for a 7 p.m. game Sept. 7 against the Vikings (1-1).

"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This leading text covers all the essential mathematics students need for teaching at the elementary and middle school levels. Among its key strengths are its richness in problem- solving strategies, integrity and flow of mathematics, relevance of topics and extensive pedagogy and problem sets. Unlike similar texts that follow a typical "math majors progression," this text follows the progression of elementary school math curricula considered more suitable for elementary teachers. Another noteworthy feature is the text's emphasis on the NCTM standards; not only does it incorporate the standards in problem sets and discussion, it teaches students the relevance of the standards and how they reflect current research in mathematics.From the Back Cover:
When you truly understand mathematical concepts, it's like magic...
This book was written to help you increase your mathematical knowledge and confidence, and appreciate the beauty and excitement of the mathematical world.

Confused about my size?
I'm 5'9 160 pounds. I am 2 weeks post op. I had a full D to start with. I got a breast lift along with 550ccs and 580ccs saline imolants under the muscle. why do i feel and look so small.
Doctor Answers 2
550 cc implants in a pre-op D cup
should not look small... for objective comments, you really need to post a photo of what you think is small.
Sub-muscular breast implants often look smaller than expected at 2 weeks
At 2 weeks breast implants that are placed beneath the chest muscle are constricted by the action of the muscle. This results in the implants being spread out over the chest and looking narrower and flatter than they will in the next 3 months.

Saved my Ass!
I took a couple with me to the Women's march and was able to snack on it, knowing I wouldn't be able to get to food for some time. Tasty and did the job!
- Lisa
Quick Protein Snack
I am doing the Whole30 and have tried the turkey cranberry Epic bars and loved them! I can't say I love this but it's a great source of protein to keep in my desk drawer.
- Julia Marie
I loved this idea in theory and I think it still has great potential in future iterations. But I couldn't handle the flavor and I will pretty much eat meat in any form when hungry. (And as someone who is in and out of keto, I thought the extra carbs from the fruit did not pay off in improved flavor.)
- wendy
Not what I expected...
I've never tried Epic products before, and I'm not likely to try them again. The texture of these bars is hard to get over, but the taste doesn't help much. They're very dry and grainy. The habanero is overpowering while the cherry isn't even noticeable. I've tried cutting these up and mixing them with veggies to mask the taste, but it doesn't really help. Pretty disappointed - especially with the high cost, and I've still got 10 bars left that I don't know what to do with.
- Corissa
- Michael
Great Protien Snack
These beef bars by Epic are delicious and hearty. I reach for these in the afternoon instead of a sugary snack and feel much more satisfied, with longer lasting energy.
So delicious.
These are terrific for hiking!
- Ann
Better Than Expected
When I read about these, I was truly excited for a bar that was Paleo friendly. Like all good 21st century millennials, I read the reviews for them on Amazon. The reviews were not good and often-times hysterical. I decided against ordering them until after I picked one up at a local store to try it out. I was expecting the worst. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor and decided to that the reviewers on Amazon were either way off the mark, or Epic had also read the reviews and refined their product. Either way, I will be ordering more and definitely enjoy this product.
- Briana
Beats granola bars by a country mile
EPIC bars have a great taste. They have a good "feel" in the mouth. They fit perfectly within my diet, Love 'em all. So much better than the "nutrition" bars that are really loaded with various forms of refined sugar!
- Oaktown
Love this! Could be spicier but love that its sweetened with cherries.
- Christel
I prefer other flavors
I love the concept of the Epic bars but these aren't my favorite. I'll get a different flavor next time. The habanero is a little weak.
- Alison
I love this for a protein snack so you never get caught off guard too Hungry. Beef habanero (not spicy) and pineapple pork are family favorites.
- Kelly
The flavor took a bar or two to get used to. They aren't very hot, the habanero presents itself more like a smell, and extremely mild. The cherry is nice, but makes it 10 g carb for those who watch this. I liked them, but was looking for something lower carb without anything sweet. Texture is definitely a ground beef consistency, but as a bonus, you don't worry about having to deal with old shoe leather consistency.
- Jennifer
Habanero Cherry Beef
These beef chews offer a satisfying chew, they aren't too hot and the cherries add a wonderful sweetness without being too cloyingly sweet. Great to substitute when you don't have time to eat something, and need to take the hunger edge off.
- Robin
Love these
Tasty, moist, convenient grass-fed beef bars that are a great alternative to commercial protein bars. Will be buy from now until...forever :)
- Cosima
I will buy these again. I prefer drier, and not ground, but they will do in a pinch.
- Paula
I really Love these! anyone that eats beef jerky will love this item.
- Joe Parker
I take these to the golf course. Great stuff
- John
Dear Thrive, you may want to add "Walnuts" to both the title and description of this particular product. I ordered a box and ate 1 for the first time today. I enjoyed 1 bite . . . right before my throat started to swell up. Right there in the teeny tiny print it does list "walnuts." My mistake, but you could definitely make it MUCH clearer both in the title "Habanero & Cherry WITH WALNUTS" and the description.
- Jane
Terrible, horrible and nasty chemical aftertaste
These are terrible bars and I am surprised something this bad made it to market. We've gotten the Buffalo bars previously and those were good but these are just plain awful with a nasty smell and terrible taste. These bars do not even taste like food, is more like a ground up shoe, with dusty and chemical taste quality. The aftertaste lingers for hours. Really surprising this could be called food.

Weird texture
This bar tastes like it might be good if it was left whole like beef jerky. Instead it's ground up meat formed into bars. It sort of has the texture of a grainy brownie or a Lara bar but then the taste is meaty. Like the other reviewers, I thought it smelled like a dog treat.
- VickieS
Epic Bars Rock!
Every Epic Bar I have tried has been awesome! The pack a lot of flavor and protein, and are excellent for an extra boost when hiking the AT. I love what the company stands for as well as their product! Epic Rocks!
- Elizabeth
Not a fan
These are the worst tasting beef snack I've ever tried. I have no idea how anyone can be so excited about these to give a 5 star review...weird. I'm not a fan.
- Jack
Not a fan
These don't taste good to me and my gf also thinks so and hates the texture. I think these bars are the worst tasting beef snack I've ever tried. Buffalo variety is better tasting, but I doubt I'll even buy that one again.
- Jack
My kids thought they had the texture and scent of dog treats. $25 wasted.
Not my thing
I was really excited to share these with all my meat eaters in the family, husband, dad, brother...none of us could get through the first bite.
Weird texture, odd flavor.
- Jennifer
super yum!
Perhaps my batch had milder peppers, but this was not hot, and had a fantastic flavor! Totally my favorite grab and go snack! Healthy version of a meat stick!
- Karen
OMG!!! These are horrible - I couldn't even get through one bar - yuck!!! I only gave it one star because I couldn't give it a zero!!
- Julie
Love Epic Bars! The spices aren't consistent yet and frequent pits/shells. But tasty!
- Karen
Well I have 11 leftover...
I bought these for a pick me up snack for school and took one to class with me today. Suffice it to say, I was gulping water trying to keep this bar down, and not because it was spicy. It wasn't hot at all to my taste. It was bland. And it had the smell and texture of canned cat food. I was gagging trying to get through this bar. I wanted to like these because I'm paleo and I'm always excited about healthy on the go snacks. But these bars. My gustatory and olfactory senses are shuddering at the thought of a second round. Meanwhile, I have 11 of these beasts leftover. Does Thrive take returns on products based on ick factor? My mistake for buying a whole box before testing one. $25 wasted :/
- Cherie
Love it!
Totally soothed my meat craving! Absolutely delicious!
- DeeDee
Not very spicy, but good
To be honest, I was hoping for spicier, but the flavor was still great.
- lee
Hot and healthy
These beef snacks are hot and healthy. If you don't like it hot, you don't want to try this. The cherry does bring down the heat of the habanero some, with a nice sweet taste, but this baby still has a kick.
Tasty, healthy and packed with protein, these snacks will definitely give you the energy to get through the day.
- Laquanda
Intense Paleo Snack
This stuff is intense. I wanted to try something with a bit of kick that also fit into my Paleo diet, and this was it. I almost expected it to taste like beef jerky, but it honestly has a unique taste all its own - and it's HOT! I need to eat one of these with water, or I can't eat them at all. That having been said, the cherry taste balances out the hot pretty nicely (though I wish it had more cherry taste!), and I find myself using this as a "pick-me-up" in the afternoon as it wakes me up pretty well.
- Charles
Hot goodness
These beef epic bars are so delicious. I love the heat packed within. The cherry added in the mix is a nice addition that makes my taste buds go wild.
These bars are paleo friendly and they pack a lot of protein, which means they give the body energy. These are great for people that workout or do a lot of strenuous work.
- Crystal
A hot snack
Epic makes great meat bars. This one is a little to hot for my taste though. I like the blend of habanero mixed with cherry, the sweet helps cut some of the heat.
Anyone that likes a hot snack will surely love this meat bar. As always, they are fresh and tasty (just a little hot)!
- Lady Aisha
Good but takes getting used to
I bought these thinking they were going to be like jerky. But the truth is, they're exactly what they say, meat in a pouch. Don't get me wrong, it tastes pretty good, and it's fresh, but it's much softer than jerky.
I guess you just have to get used to the texture. If you can get past that, it's a good piece of beef with cherries for a nice change of pace.
- Rex
Delicious and priced great
These are not really like jerky. They're not as dry as jerky, and the beef seems to taste more real, more like you just opened a pack of beef that just happens to have cherry and habanero for an extra kick.
I take them with me on hikes or bike rides. They're a great protein source and lean in fat. I used to get them on Amazon, then I found Thrive. Here, I get a dozen for just under 25 bucks. Amazon is charging almost 40 dollars for the same thing. Even with free shipping, that's a net loss. I'm so happy Thrive offers such awesome discounts on healthy food.
- Rita W.
Great meaty taste
I know EPIC products, because I've bought the turkey bars with almond and cranberry and loved them. So when these went on discount on Thrive I snatched them up.
They are awesome. Great meaty taste of beef that isn't processed with additives. Just grass fed beef that's moist and tastes like it literally came off the farm.
- Randolph Washington
I love the Beef bars... they don't have cranberry, which I avoid because of sugar, they're flavorful, and just enough spice to add interest. Note that the other 1 star review seemed to be a mistake (read it and you'll see) - this is awesome stuff.
- Connie
As nature intended...
This is a great paleo bar. Very convenient; and as far as protein bars go, as natural as it gets. I feel great about eating these - I know it's something natural that my body has been designed to eat, rather than some junk that's been concocted in a lab. Delicious, convenient, healthy, and keeps me full for hours. Great bar!

THEY might be used to wet conditions, but these five chicks found themselves
in a right flap after getting trapped down a drain hole.
Luckily for the days-old ducklings, they were spotted through the bars by
eagle-eyed villagers from Oulton, Staffordshire, who alerted a nearby group
of animal-loving highway workers to their plight.
The cowering and cold chicks, whose mother couldn't be found, are now resting
at the British Wildlife Rescue Centre in nearby Stowe after being freed from
their dank prison.
County Councillor Mike Maryon, Cabinet member for Highways and Transport, said
the rescue was one of a lighter hearted moments for a team tasked with some
normally gritty jobs.
He said: "The Highways team does some tough jobs, braving snow and ice to grit
the roads, clearing up fallen trees when gale force winds blow and
maintaining and upgrading the road network.
"But this rescue shows they are a very soft-hearted bunch."

You are here: Home > Best Android Apps > Best Android Weather App
Here you will find the best Android weather apps.
Do you use your Android phone to check what the weather is like? I do! The possibility of viewing current weather conditions has become one of my favorite features of Android since I got my first Droid. There are many weather apps out there but only a few really stand out from the crowd.
In this article, you will discover 5 best Android weather apps and choose the best one for you.
AccuWeather is one of the most popular weather apps for Android. This is quite a simple app which allows you to check weather conditions in an unlimited number of locations (you can enter them manually or let the phone will detect them).
Once you set your locations, you can view current conditions (temperature, humidity, visibility, wind etc.) and daily or hourly charts. What's more, you can also view your locations on a map and watch video clips with weather forecast. Of course, you can also add widgets to the desktop and enable alerts for severe weather conditions.
If you want to get to know more about this app, read my review of Android AccuWeather app.
This is in my opinion the best Android weather app and also the most advanced one. Weather Bug offers you a comprehensive weather forecast of any location you want.
Once you set your location (or the app detects it), you can swipe though the app's different features, such as, current weather conditions, weather forecast for 7 days, pin-point interactive maps with multiple layers (pressure, wind speed, humidity etc.), lifestyle forecast (golf forecast, aches & pains forecast, game day forecast etc.) or, even, live weather cams (from more than 2,000 weather cameras from across the US).
This is one of the simplest Android weather apps. You just have to set your location (or locations) or have it detected automatically and then you can view current weather conditions and weather forecast for 6 days. You can also add five different widgets with a clock to your desktop. Take a look at the screenshots below.
The Weather Channel is probably one of the most popular and the best Android weather apps with tens of millions of downloads. The app basically offers the same features most weather apps for Android offer.
These include an interactive map with multiple layers (rain, humidity etc.), current weather, videos, and forecast. The app also allows you to add two types of nicely looking widgets to your desktop.
Last but certainly not least. iMeteo is a simple app which allows you to view weather conditions of different locations from across the world.
You can simply type in the destination or choose one from 5 different lists available in the app (Italian locations, sea, beach and spot surf, snow and ski plants and so on.) Once you choose a location, you can view detailed weather forecast for it.

''I join Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi in hailing the NSG waiver and congratulate India'', the Chief Minister said.
''On issues like this, political parties should sink their differences and approach the issues in the interest of the country,'' he added.

The once ubiquitous typeface, which is still the signifier of accessible modernism (Hello Target! Hello Crate and Barrel, Microsoft, Muji, American Apparel...) turns 50 this year. To mark the anniversary of Helvetica's release, Gary Hustwit has made a documentary that will be doing the film festival rounds this spring. To get a taste, check out the clips here. The Berlin montage is a witty look at Helvetica's takeover of the city but mostly the interviews are for font geeks.

Sunday night, during the closing ceremonies in Park City, Utah, the 2007 Sundance Film Festival winners were announced. I wasn't there, four days at Sundance was plenty for me, but the onslaught of emails from the press office were evidence enough. But I wonder, does anyone really care about which film won the Special Jury Prize or the World Cinema Audience Award? It seems all anyone is talking about is how "Little Miss Sunshine," "Iraq in Fragments" (read Mother Jones' review of the film here) and "An Inconvenient Truth" raked in the Oscar nominations last week.
Sundance tends to be repetitious in its subject matter. This year, "No End In Sight" will surely give you your Iraq fill, "Everything's Cool" contains a deluge of information on Global Warming and "Blame It On Fidel," much like "Little Miss Sunshine" tells the story of a young girl shaped by her society. But really, would the festival be complete without a film on Iraq or Global Warming?

Yesterday's NY Times played the race card with an article on, well... black people who like indie rock. Or make indie rock. Or, um, skateboard. Cause white people totally do that! Idolator already has some choice comments about this strange piece (correctly pointing out that UrbanDictionary.com is a kind of lazy source, even for the Gray Lady), and some bloggers and journos have taken exception to the Times' unironic use of the term "blipster" (as in, "black hipster"). Some other blogs point out that blacks didn't just saunter away from rock music because they felt like rapping (see Colonel K's blog entry here).
Hmmm. I'm sympathetic to any attempt at unraveling the racial basis underpinning so much of how we define and categorize music, and, er, "lifestyle," but this article doesn't even try. Can we have some statistics of black artists on white radio? Racial makeup of hip-hop buyers? History of Billboard charts? Ultimately, if you ask how many black people make rock music, you have to define rock music. Oops. You end up back where you started: it's white people music! Turns out the question reveals more than the answer, with the very terms being discussed laden with decades of racial bias. With racism so entrenched, and so many other factors at play (howabout girls who like boy music! Straight people who dance to Scissor Sisters!) it seems like the subject needs a little more attention and care than this lazy, condescending article gives it.
What's the deal with the Times and cultural, specifically current music, coverage? Despite an occasionally amusing piece that comes out of nowhere, they just don't seem to have any idea what's going on, and so they end up trying to overcompensate, and we get these vague articles about perceived cultural trends that just end up being offensive. Too bad.

Hello internet. I'm Party Ben. You might know me from such films as "That's My Monkey 2: Ookin' it Up," and "Arm & Hammer: a Company With a Future." Not really. Actually, I make those most mockable of musical items: mashups! Plus I also DJ in the Golden State, and do something called "creative direction" for San Francisco radio station LIVE 105. Good times.
For reasons that are not yet clear to me, I've been asked to be a guest blogger on this blog, focusing on musical and cultural items of note. I guess I'll bring a refreshing lack of "writing skills" or "journalistic ethics" that they couldn't find around the Mother Jones offices.
To celebrate my acceptance into the liberal media elite, I've updated one of my more political tracks for exclusive download by readers of this fine blog. It's based on a song by Faithless, "Mass Destruction," a deceptively jaunty anti-war number that appeared on their 2004 album "No Roots." At that time I produced a novelty version featuring some appropriate excerpts of George W. Bush's anti-evildoer speechifying. Despite my version's simplicity (like, wow, echo!) it proved inexplicably popular. As is my usual method, I produced at least six different versions, including a long one that appeared on my website and a shorter one that got some radio play on my own and other stations. This new version uses excerpts of Bush's recent State of the Union speech as well as some of the clips I used in the original mix. Compare and contrast! It's Faithless vs. George W. Bush, "Mass Destruction" (Party Ben's 2007 Mother Jones remix). Enjoy.

Embarrassing gaffs, humiliating moments, there's nothing like amateur video to make laughter heard round the world. Now you can tap in to what makes the Arab world tick in the file-sharing universe with the Arab language site Ikbis.com. Along the YouTube vein you can find all sorts of photos and videos that, well, we don't see on YouTube. Like this still from Iraq, this video of a Palestinian ambulance backing into a victim or "this clip, of a giggling man at a prayer sesion, which has nearly 12,000 hits to date. Humor abounds at the site, launched in November, but politics are also common on Ikbis (tagline, "Capture your Life"), with Bush parodies, the Saddam video (now down) and war footage we just don't see on CNN. Definitely worth clicking through every so often, for the raw footage, and for a new window into funny.

If you haven't already seen them, here are the "God Hates a Fag" music video and the list of bands that will make you gay from this week's internet-only Christian rock sensation, Donnie Davies. His ex-gay schtick is bound to offend you or make you laugh out loud -- depending on whether you think it's a hoax.
In the video, Donnie dances around in a pink button-up shirt, delivering classic lines like "the Bible says it plain as day: with a man you shall not lay." But he also tosses off innuendo-drenched head-scratchers like "to enter heaven, there's no back door" and "righteous man, get on your knees." The mixed message has inspired endless speculation on whether Donnie is the real deal. To me, it's pretty clear that this is a farce -- a smart, well-acted farce by someone with a studied appreciation for the genre.
Why has it taken off so quickly in the secular blogosphere? People are quick to forward Donnie's material because it's shocking enough to grab your attention, but has just enough irony to leave you questioning whether it's real. A list of "gay bands" with...uh...Ravi Shankar and our buddy Ted Nugent? An fundamentalist site featuring an Oscar Wilde quote? A ex-gay Christian rock song that says Jesus is "the only man for me?" (Hat tip to South Park's "Christian Rock Hard" episode.) Like with last year's Lonelygirl15 mystery, people are intrigued with figuring out whether it's for real.
Take a peek at Donnie's site while there's still a smidgen of intrigue left. Like Borat, it's good performance art that flirts with politics before eloping with entertainment. And whoever Donnie is, his performance is spot-on. As one poster on Dan Savage's blog says, Donnie nails the "so-gay-he-must-be-straight-and-evangelical-or-he'd-sure-as-hell-be-a-drag-queen thing."

K-Fed just can't get a break. Fresh off of his split from Britney, the stay-at-home-rapper swung a sweet deal with Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. (yes, at least someone is "On Your Side," Kev) to star in a Super Bowl commercial where he essentially daydreams of being a star and then wakes up to find himself merely a burger flipper.
Nothing groundbreaking here people. Fast food work is not exactly glory-filled, and pop culture calls attention to that fact quite often. Still, this week the National Restaurant Association asked the insurance company to pull the ad saying that it: "give[s] the impression that working in a restaurant is a demeaning and unpleasant," and stands as a "direct insult to the 12.8 million Americans who work in the restaurant industry."
Now wait, does an ad expressing disappointment at being a minimum wage, part-time worker with no benefits rather than a millionaire rap mogul really strike you as demeaning? (Even if that worker is Kevin Federline.)
Did they also object to the ending of American Beauty where another Kevin (Spacey) got a job flipping burgers so he wouldn't have to think about anything? Maybe the NRA (could have switched around their name for a more kindly acronym?) should come to the rescue of their "insulted" workers in more substantive ways: let them unionize, increase their wages, and improve working conditions. For starters, just leave Kevin alone.

Mother JonesJan. 23, 2007 4:17 PM
On Monday, two car bombs in a Baghdad market killed 88 and wounded 160 others. Saturday was the third deadliest day for U.S. troops since the start of the war. Things are dire and only getting worse. Two weeks ago, after watching the President's less than illuminating speech on escalation, I swore off writing about Iraq for awhile. What more was there to write? I found myself flip-flopping between sending 150,000 troops to the country or pulling out completely, a flip-flop many others do. But neither of these seem like such great ideas, so, after listening to Bush's plan to send 20,000 (I definitely don't think this is a good idea), I decided I couldn't add anything more to the debate.
So, where did I find the inspiration today to write about Iraq? The Sundance Film Festival. This morning I attended a live televised panel discussion about the Iraq War and the new movie about it, "No End In Sight," which is a product of over 75 interviews with key players. (Keep an eye out for a doc review from Mother Jones, it's on its way.) The panel included, among others, General Jay Garner, Marine Corps Lt. Seth Moulton and Ambassador Barbara Bodine. The discussion was mediated and many of the same questions we always hear were asked and many of the same answers given. Here's my paraphrase of the discussion:
"We made mistakes, no one had a plan, no one admitted there was an insurgency, the administration did not listen to its military leaders, military leaders didn't stand up to the administration, and disbanding the army as well as not stopping the looting were the gravest errors made over the past four years."

Yes, hearing all of this still makes my blood boil, but I was left wanting more. For instance, what are we going to do now? What answers do these experts have for us regarding the future? I got the chance after the discussion to sit down with both Moulton and Bodine. Here's what the two had to say (paraphrased).
•We need to define what victory means: staving off regional war, securing the country...?
•It is essential when fighting a counterinsurgency to build the support of the people. It is not just about "killing bad guys."
•We don't have enough troops to effectively fight a counterinsurgency.

Today is quite a day for scummy self promoters claiming they've be wronged by government prosecutors, the media, etc.
First there was Richard Hatch. (No, not this one -- aka Apollo. This one.) And now, that purveyor of good taste, "Girls Gone Wild" mogul Joe Francis, is bitching because he got slapped with heavier than expected fines and penalties for making obscene profits by getting drunk underage girls to take their shirts off for a bunch of late-night dorks too cheap to spring for real porn.
His fine is 200 hours of community service, two years probation, and $500,000. That's on top of 32 hours of CS per month for 30 months and $1.6 million in penalties he got in a related Florida case. That's 1,160 hours of community service in all.
Outside the courthouse, Francis said he was relieved the process was over and that he now felt free to say that he had been unfairly persecuted by the Justice Department. "Of course I've been unfairly targeted by the government," Francis said. "What better target than Joe Francis?"
What better indeed. Let's hope they make him clean stadium urinals or something else suitably nasty.

Can't believe I'm taking 5 minutes from closing the latest issue of the magazine on this but, stop the presses, writing from the Federal Correctional Institute in Morgantown, West Virginia, Survivor winner Richard Hatch demands that journalists take up his cause:
"No investigative journalism has yet confronted the blatant abuses of power, bigotry-driven enmity, nor the numerous pitfalls of our current legal system to which I have been subjected."
And not just for his sake:
"I would no more apologize for my winning tactics on "Survivor" than a football player might apologize for his touchdown. Regardless, the issue of innocent people in jail should be addressed more seriously."
