On Food Network
Original Aired On 08/01/2011
Episode: Eggstraordinary
Gail Simmons - Lobster Begula Pasta
**** stars in Tom Sietsema's Fall Dining Guide 2011. ("When it comes to showing off his food, there's not a more creative customer than Michel Richard," writes Tom.) http://wapo.st/r2INEe
What to get: Escargots done up as ?porcupines? in spiky pastry & topped with barbecue sauce; oyster shooters with cucumber gel�e; a Technicolor mosaic of thinly sliced venison, eel, and other seafood.
The chef?s reinvention of French cuisine manages to be tantalizing yet comforting. Try the "virtual eggs" of mozzarella and yellow tomato or the beef short ribs that are braised for 72 hours.
Traditional dishes like the herb-encrusted lamb satisfy, while whimsical baits-and-switches ("pasta" created from snow peas, "caviar" created from pasta) will thrill you. A truly magical experience.
Go for the fixed price menu, a culinary tour de force
Go for a special occasion, and get a loved one the Celebration Cake when they're in the bathroom/not listening. Amazing, and it comes with a sparkler on top!
Try the Octopus Ink Risotto
In a private room where wine bottles line walls, waiters in vests and ties served the Obamas and 11 friends a feast of fried Virginia oysters, humane steak, and house-made gelato.
One of my fave places in the city.

Friday Flashback: Marmite's Fans Advocate For A Forrester Groundswell Award
Posted by Zachary Reiss-Davis on August 15, 2013
- 257 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Our 2013 Forrester Groundswell Awards (submission deadline is August 30th!) are structured around the Forrester Marketing RaDaR model, with awards for outstanding social marketing in each phase of the customer life cycle. My research this quarter focuses on social reach – tactics to help people discover your brands, products, and promotions – so I want to highlight a 2011 winner demonstrating the power of advocate marketing.
In 2011, Unilever introduced a new extra-strong variant of Marmite, a yeast-based spread that no one is just "meh" about – consumers either love it or hate it. Marmite's consumers are extremely passionate about the product, and Unilever created an exclusive community for only the top 200 fans and advocates to feed (pun intended) their excitement. Each community member received one of 200 commemorative jars of the new Marmite.
To become part of the community and launch event, the advocates created content showing their enthusiasm and promoted the content to their own social networks. For this launch, Unilever used no paid advertising at all and spent only 20% of a typical product launch. But the advocates created 150 blog posts (read by an estimated 2.4 million people), and the campaign website had 2,800 user registrations and 28,000 unique visitors. The result? £600,000 of sales in the first six months, and an ongoing community of Marmite advocates which is still active today, two years later.
A large part of the campaign's success was making the advocates feel as if they were a part of something special and giving them something special connected to the brand. Forrester has found that the most effective advocate marketing doesn't rely on (just) free products or cash but rather on building this connection between advocate and brand.
We are seeking new and exciting submissions not just for social reach but also depth, relationship, and several other categories. Don't miss an opportunity to promote your creative and innovative social marketing initiatives! Again, the deadline to submit a 2013 Groundswell Award entry is August 30, 2013.

practice taking the saftey off as you draw the gun. i think you will find that will work very nicely and be safe.

Western governments to discuss military assistance to Syrian rebels: source
ROME (Reuters) - Western and Arab officials will meet representatives of the Syrian opposition in Istanbul next Monday to discuss military and humanitarian support for rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad, a European diplomatic source said on Thursday.
"The meeting aims to work directly with opposition structures to increase the level of support," the source said, adding that both civilian and military representatives of the Syrian opposition would attend.
The source spoke on the margins of a meeting in Rome between the Syrian National Coalition - the main civilian opposition group - and Western and Arab nations.
In a policy shift, the United States has decided to provide medical supplies and food to Syrian fighters, but will still oppose giving the rebels weapons, a source familiar with the matter said overnight.

The exhaust pipes were a problem for me too. Again, in order to know the transmission takes the right amount of fluid is for the motor to be running while you are filling the transmission. If you have to change it again, I would suggest you buying a manual pump instead of using a syringe. I purchased one at Harbor Freight Tools for 7.95 that did the job perfectly. I did not remove the pan as advised by most people I talked to but I doubt if that will be a problem because of the magnets.
Well, dealer quoted $525 for filter change and fluid change (includes parts). Too much money for me.
Ordered gasket, filter, pan bolts and drain plug. $102 total at dealer. Trans supposedly takes 8 quarts of Dexron VI, so about $40 but I doubt I will get 8 out. May just get fluid from BAVAUTO which is more money, about $100 for 10 quarts. Have to buy 1 more pair of jack stands, so whole job should be around $200 to $250 which is worth me doing it.
I really think pan should be removed. That way you can replace filter, clean magnets and assess condition.
Anyone know torque values for GM6 bolts and drain plug? I saw some numbers for the ZF trans which were about 53 inch pounds, so I need a smaller torque wrench too which I can use. Looks like a trip to Sears tomorrow! I will ask service for the values if needed.
Need pump too, which I will get this week.
Job looks messy but not too bad.

Drug Testing? In pro surfing? I've got three words.
Forget about it.
"That's just not surfing," is really the best answer. So what does that mean? Well, let's look at what surfing is.
Surfing is:
-Rebellion, an escape from society and all of its restricting rules.
-Connecting with mother Nature in her most dynamic moment – no that's not a Laird Hamilton quote, but it might as well be.
-A party. Everyone loves good surf with good friends and a good party afterward.
Surfers don't take very kindly to others telling them what to do. We like to go just about the opposite of the right direction.
Dane Reynolds once said something along the lines of, "Whenever someone (in the media) asks me a question I just like to give them the most far out answer." He also recently vented on his blog about the seemingly ridiculous attention his knee surgery had obtained.
What does this have to do with drug testing? Dane doesn't want people bothering him about his knee surgery the same way Andy didn't want anyone to bother him about drugs.
It wasn't our business. And really it still isn't. It's not like drugs helped Andy achieve his World Titles. In fact, it's that much more impressive that he could party so hard and surf so well. Why would we remember him for anything less than his huge heart and how well he ripped? I never met him, but he certainly seems to deserve it.
Andy clearly wasn't the only one who liked to party on the World Tour. As for the people who argue that the only way to find who the "best surfer" really would be to make sure no one was using illegal drugs, I have three responses:
First, just look at the drug testing mess in every other sporting arena. Baseball is still dealing with issues from years ago, while Lance Armstrong's record was tainted by doping claims. Surfing doesn't have the money, time, patience, or will to go on such witch-hunts.
Secondly, the "best surfer" is rarely the one who wins a WCT competition, but rather the surfer most adaptable to the day's slop, and it's hard to find the best surfer when the majority of the waves favor regular footed surfers. Strange that 10-time World Champ Kelly Slater is a regular footer…isn't it? Submitting the decision of "World Champion" to a small panel of judges hardly strikes me as fair.
Finally, the more you "legitimize" pro surfing, the more you take away from the essence of what surfing really is. Half the guys on the tour were/are only there because that's how they make money from sponsors. In a recent interview, Bobby Martinez told Channel Islands team manager Travis Lee in reference to finding a sponsor that won't force him to do the tour, "I can travel, do trips; it's not about contest results, it's more about a lifestyle." That's what surfing is about. The Lifestyle.
Theoretically, yes, it would be great to know all of the top surfers on the World Tour were clean. But it's not going to happen, not anywhere in the near future. For now, surfing is still basking in a youthful rebellious glow. It doesn't care what Outside Magazine says, and it certainly doesn't want to answer to anyone else either.
- Bert
"-Rebellion, an escape from society and all of its restricting rules."
Well, it could have been, years ago, but professionnal surfing does not fit with rebellion. Those guys want to earn money, are dealing with their image and are usually pretty conservative. I can't see what pro surfers are rebelling against, except the lack of prize money.
Dane Reynolds is the perfect example of a fake rebel, he is playing his own game, but still plays the game. He sells clothes and boards, and despises his media coverage while earning his money with it.
But I agree with you about drug testing. First, drug testing means nothing, as we see in other sports. Just a waste of time and money. Then, what kind of drug could help you surf better? Weed won't help, coke sure helps to find guts, but won't help you long…Steroids and else aren't for surfing, of course they'll give you strength and power, but we all know it won't help you surf better.
Drug is still a social and moral issue, but it's not a surfing issue.
- Richard
Interesting article.. It seems to me that surfing is having somewhat of an identity crisis. On the one hand the big companies want to push surfing as a professional sport along the lines of golf, tennis etc.
On the other hand, surfing is too far removed from the restrictions, rules and regulations that comes with being a professional sport. surfers are rebellious by nature, making them professional 'sportsmen' just wont work. why try to fit a square into a round hole?
the surf industry has to choose… is surfing a 'sport' or a 'lifestyle'?
- Stu
LOL. Here's what I got from this. First, Slater really isn't the best surfer out there, just the guy who's most adaptable in slop. Second, we're somehow living in 1965 again and the surfing world doesn't include impressionable groms, educated professionals, working moms and dads or stately elders but instead, only drunken, trouble-making rebels. Spot on.
- whitey
"Just the guy who is most adaptable to slop"? That statement shows how foolish you are. Was Teahupo'o slop this year? Every contest that the waves are epic Slater is on top and DOMINATING! I'm not even a Kelly fan, just an obvious observation. To discredit 20 years of utter domination tells me you know nothing about surfing in general.
- Pattiecannon
Haha, well said Stu. Hey Marvin! Where are you mate? Your piece is a train wreck bro, you got some wise words from the cosmic potato cell to soothe out our ridiculous incredulity? Yeah, chopes SF NY Peniche France Pipe Bells were so lame this year bro. Stick it to da man MFr! Go Surfing!~
- surferjoe
Why do surfers get to be druggies? There are so many of these guys who use the Surfer steroid…. Meth. They have all been hiding behind surfing because it is supposed to be a subculture sport. Forget it and test these guys. Otherwise surfing will never be legit.
Until these young groms learn from the pros that it "isn't cool do do drugs", then they will keep on getting sucked into the met addiction many of these surfers have.
It needs to stop and it is the responsibility of the "Pro industry" do do something about it.
No tolerance!
- Al Baydough
For a site claiming to be for thinking surfers that was one of the most incredibly stupid pieces I have ever read.
Comparing knee surgery to a fatal drug addiction?!?Andy's surfing suffered immensely from his addictions. That you didn't notice this means you weren't paying attention. No surprises here.Pro surfing as rebellion?!? Your "boy" Dane has repeatedly outed pro surfing as the most conformist (which it is) sport going. Target?!? Nike?!? And now Bethany Hamilton (an acolyte of the most conformist religion in the US – which is not to take anything away from her accomplishments) is courting WalMart?!? Rebelliousness my ass."Strange" that Slater has cemented his reputation at Pipe, Teahupo'o, Tavarua, and every raging left he has attacked on this planet. Seriously, I can't even believe you made that statement. You could pop balloons all day on that head of yours.Either this "article" is a joke or you are. Neither is even remotely funny.
And Bobby, amazing surfer that he is, has been gradually losing his mind over the past couple years.
There should absolutely be drug testing in pro surfing. But let the science speak: hard drugs and performance enhancers only should be banned. Pot, alcohol (which is ironically one of the most harmful substances you can put in your body regularly), and low grade psychs should be off the list.You need to seriously rethink your attitude(s) on these subjects. That was atrocious.
- Al Baydough
I offer a quasi apology for letting the emotions choose the words but the sentiment stands.
(And I didn't mean to "like" my own post. But, whatever, I'm a "rebel," right?)

Very few rebels in surfing and surfing is hardly rebellion. There are several cultivated identities or sub cultures 'surfers' FOLLOW in their effort to be part of the 'club'. These subcultures have been shaped by marketing powers – my god even the hippy 'soul' surfer has been made fashionable by the big surf companies. The goth surf punt is another sub tribe backed by the corporations. Most surfers are nothing more that sheepish followers of fashion. A situation set up by corporations to sell more fashion. Sadly I am old enough to have been involved with surfing since before there was any corporate backing and the only people making money were our shaper's and local surfboard shop. I am not complaining about the present scenario just stating that in the whole surfers are not rebels.
- Stu
BTW, where does this "surfer as rebel" thing come from and why is it that only guys from places like Sac-town seem to perpetuate this idea? In all honestly, in the 25 years I've been surfing, I've never once paddled out thinking anything other than I like surfing because it's fun. It's not a statement. It's not a lifestyle. It wasn't rebellion against my parents, teachers or society. I just surf because it's fun.
- Seeger
Al BayDough- you are clearly drawing lines where there weren't meant to be any. this is an opinion piece so why should this kid change his? It's food for thought and that your not open minded enough to consider any opinion but your own is "atrocious".
- Jettison
Agreed. I don't support Marvin's opinion. I feel quite strongly the other way, but I don't see anything wrong with hearing a different perspective. makes things more interesting.
- Al Baydough
If I printed that kind of ignorant tripe I'd expect a spanking. But nowhere did I say he didn't have a right to put it on display. I'm in agreement with Voltaire on the issue (though I doubt I'd be willing to die in defense of his piece).
As for a "different perspective" (V), I've been hearing this commercially constructed pablum for decades. It isn't new, unique, or original and it certainly isn't even remotely rebellious.
Apparently there's quite a lot of confusion between rebellious vs. reactionary personalities. Rebels have a purpose driven by an intellectual/ideological platform built on concepts concerning social and political justice in defense of those so oppressed; surfers haven't qualified under that description for many a moon. Reactive personalities (which is what most "rebel" surfers – and surfers and/or social drop-outs in general – sport) are merely fit-pitchers and brats unwilling – or incapable – of plumbing their own depths or taking any meaningful level of social/community responsibility, let alone launching a bona fide rebellion. The fact that relatively very few surfers bother to tackle even the most basic issues confronting the health of their oceans is testament to the reality that most surfers just plain don't give a shit about anyone but themselves. And there's nothing rebellious about that. Not one bit.
Bad pool. Needs more chalk. I suggest a trip to Dover.

The fact that relatively very few surfers bother to tackle even the most basic issues confronting the health of their oceans is testament to the reality that most surfers just plain don't give a shit about anyone but themselves. And there's nothing rebellious about that. Not one bit.
Bad pool. Needs more chalk. I suggest a trip to Dover.

"Al BayDough- you are clearly drawing lines where there weren't meant to be any."
As a surfer I can only take that as a compliment. Thank you.

This subject of drug testing stirs up debate but has to be looked at from a common sense perspective.
Drug tests are really effective at finding the metabolites of cannabis which are present in your system for 2-4 weeks. Hard drugs such as Cocaine, Meth and Opiates like Heroin are flushed from your system in 2-4 days. So someone could do meth everyday for a week, take 2-4 days off and pass a drug test while a marijuana user can be nabbed 25 days after taking one puff from a J.
The drug testing industry is effective at discovering if someone smoked a little bit of grass but it's quite ineffective at discovering the use of any REAL drugs.
Not to mention that drug tests are a severe intrusion on privacy.

haha Marvin Green is totally spot on! He should write more articles more often because they're so fantastic.
N O T…go take a look around and observe the world. You might learn something, then actually might be able to write an article that has some truth and substance.
- Al Baydough
Forgive me for beating a dead horse but since my heated response [deservedly] took some flak I'd like to offer a calmer more collected dissection of this Op Ed:
-"Rebellion": As stated in a previous post, a rebellion is not an escape from society, it is a full on confrontation with it in an attempt to combat its imbalances in power. MLK was a rebel, Mother Mary Jones was a rebel, Che Guevara was a rebel. Miki Dora was NOT a rebel. Running away is not a rebellious act. Scurrying to the fringes of society is not a rebellious act. Rebels change things by actively engaging. Pro surfing (and most surfing in general) is doing all that it can to conform to preexisting societal structures. Just look at Nikurley's "surfing" playbook for the Lowers Pro. Shameful in the extreme. Not in any way rebellious.-"Connecting with Mother Nature…": In the over thirty years that I have been surfing I have met very few surfers who take the stewardship of our most precious resource, the oceans, with any meaningful level of seriousness. It's a sad state of affairs. Rastovich should be the norm (in terms of his mission, not his style or dress), instead he is very much in the minority. To shame.
-"A party": Indeed. Sadly, the party aspect gets infinitely more of the attention than the aforementioned by a massive margin. The hangover is going to be quite a bummer and almost no one is hanging around to help with the cleanup in the morning.
-"Surfers… like to go just about opposite of the right direction": And it's making surfing an increasingly unpleasant activity. Reactive behavior is debasing and infantile – as well as highly destructive.
-Dane's a good cat and an amazing surfer but his fashion sense was manufactured for him decades ago; he's becoming far too jaded and hypocritical. Hopefully it's just a phase. And if he doesn't like the attention he should get a real job. He could use the reality check. Come to think of it, most surfers could. People with real jobs are the ones who make pro surfers' salaries possible.
-Again, comparing knee surgery with fatal drug addiction? What follows is nothing but invertebrate apologetics. I've lost many people to drugs, none to knee surgery. Anything else I have to say on the subject would not be pretty.
-The tour does not favor regulars over goofies. Eight of the eleven stops this year offer lefts, most of these offer better lefts than rights. Three events are exclusively left and three exclusively right. This stat has been fairly consistent nearly every year. The fact is that there are simply more regular footed surfers on the planet just like there are more right handed people. And many goofies took a pounding at Chopes this past week. They get worked at Pipe a lot, too. Go figure.
The bottom line is that pro surfers' biggest audience is very young and impressionable. Pro surfers also tend to have about the same level of maturity as the bulk of their adoring fans – despite any considerable differences in age; this has obviously been a very serious problem. Perhaps they should be required to attend some college first. It would make a difference.
When you choose to be a celebrity who endorses products for a living you assume a far greater level of responsibility, period. OWN THAT. Or get out of the game and flip burgers, park cars, swing hammers, or really sack up and go to college… on your own dime. Even better, join the military. While you're at it, volunteer at a local drug rehab facility and/or halfway home. It ain't pretty, it isn't a party, and no one there who matters is gonna give a shit about what a stud pro surfer you USED to be.Imagine if AI had ended up in Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. I'm willing to bet a lot of people would have preferred the fate he ended up with instead. A harsh statement for a harsh reality.
Andy Irons should still be here. Mr. Green's attitude is why he is not.Maturity: there is nothing more rebellious.

Greetings Black Knight. Much like the chain mailed masochist I do detect a mercenary sensitivity running through your opinions on different subjects. It's seems clear "the end justifies the means" is your doctrine.
I think of Bobby at the end of your 'Dane' paragraph.
However! Before you mount your steed and rage onto this thread sword flailing to cut down your enemy,
your "rebellion" paragraph is about the best dam thing I've ever read on any blog and most of the rest of it comes a close second. Your heart and mind appear to be in good order mate. Consistency is the key to greatness……….

Professional athletes are roles models and should lead by example. They SHOULD be drug tested and punished if caught. Drugs are a massive problem in society, just check out the Gold Coast these days. Marvin Green's experience with drugs probably goes as far as watching his mates smoke cones in his mummy's basement. The real effect of drug addiction is confronting, self-abusive and a danger to our kids and their future. Surfing shouldn't glorify it nor should websites like this condone it. Perhaps Marvin Green needs to "experience the real world" before writing about a topic he knows nothing about.

Drugs are cool, but they will kill you! (Stephen Hamilton)
I was a surfer, I was the ASP Head Judge in South Africa, Billabong Pro commentator, World Games commentator, Mr Price Pro judge and commentator, media and marketing guy for ASP Africa. I was alll of these things. Now I'm also a recovering cocaine addict.
Is it possible to accept the death of a guy like Andy because surfers are too cool and alternative to qualify for drug testing? I'm not saying that he'd be alive if the ASP tested but I do know that facing consequences are a big part of deciding to come clean. Perhaps if his entire competitive career was on the line as a result of drug use, he would have thought twice before snorting a line.
As an addict I know that for a long time in the downward spiral, the only thing that matters is the next line. Nothing else matters at all, ever. Eventually, as doors close due to drug use certain realities have to be confronted. homelesness, poverty, physical breakdown, divorce, jail time or worse.
Then its time to choose. these are your choices. Life or Death. there are only two. Drugs will lead to your death as sure as cancer or jumping infront of a moving train.
The less consequences there are to using drugs, the less motivation there is to give them up. If I was allowed to use drugs at work because my job was some kind of alternative industry and I kept getting paid for it, well then I guess I might still be snorting 5 grammes a day. The reality was I was accountable at work. I had to deliver and perform. Thats what was expected of me. I got paid to deliver, be accountable and perform my tasks as best I could. When I couldn't fill my side of the deal I was rightfully shown the door.
How is a pro surfer different? they are paid to surf. Should their side of the bargain not be to do it as well as they can? Should a sponsor or ASP region really accept that surfers can do as they wish? Bull shit. They are well paid pros. If they choose to do drugs they should accept the consequences of that choice. No contests and no sponsors. Drug testing should be compulsory in this sport. I can assure you that an addict will find it very difficult, if not impossible to go 4 days without chasing the dragon, smoking meth or chopping a line. They will be found out.
There may be a case made for how a stimulant could aid a surfer in the water. Trust me on this though. Once the need for the drug becomes greater than the need to surf, your world will fall apart. If you use drugs this will happen. It may take some longer than others to hit the streets or the morgue but they will get there one way or another.
I was involved in the professional side of surfing for 15yrs. I was a coke addict for 5. I've been clean for 4. Why should we turn a blind eye to drug use in our sport?
Until ASP start a proper testing solution they are enabling young pros to use drugs.
Drugs have no place in pro surfing. Doing drugs doesn't make you cool or more rad or alternative. Drugs make you homeless, partnerless, poor and eventually dead.
Of course Andy didn't want anyone bothering him about drugs. Nor did I. I did learn that its not always about what I want. A few people did bother me about drugs. Thank God for that. It wasn't comfortable about it but it saved my life. Thank God and thank Chantelle and thank Richard and thank Derek and thank Karen and thanks Mom and Dad. Thank you for bothering me about drugs. Thank you so much!
If these guys didn't bother me about drugs I would have beat Andy to the "Big Left In The Sky' by four years.

Bit confused here ED, I thought the inertia was for thinking surfers? this article displays very little thought or maturity. Marvin might learn something (both about drugs and journalism) by reading this story I found on wavesmag.com
- Randy Bentley
I have an idea for scoring contests: The one who catches the most waves is in the best position to win. However make it so you can only get up to 4 points on a wave. 4 being like an A and a 3 being like a B. The person with the highest grade point average wins. It works in school maybe it will work in surfing. This way the shitty rides they get will effect them and it will make them much more selective. However, at the same time they are still going to want to get as many waves as they can to make up for those shitty ones that earn them a 2 or a 1. It would make professional surfing much more objective I think. It is way to subjective right now (it is only based on the stupid judges opinion and nothing else).

I'm hoping you meant to say that drugs, rebellion, etc. is what happened to surfing once Californians in the 20th century got hold of and ruined the great Hawaiian past time. Although the first archeological evidence of a surfboard like craft were found in Peru…the sport as we know it today was invented here in my cherished homeland, HAWAI`I NEI.
This article perfectly exemplifies every irritation I have with the modern representation of surfing in the professional ranks. Who are for the most part young ego maniacal drug addicted slobs, getting paid big bucks to parade around the world like jackasses, cheating on their wives/gfs with wannabe bikini models whores, and putting a terrible name and face on the pono ritual of surfing. To those who got dazzled by the monetary gains and have lost their way as they claw to the top. I hope you feel shame. But more importantly there's plenty more surfers that would never dream of such disgrace. That are humbled by the sea, and grateful not only for every wave, but for the gift of knowing how to ride it. Being a waterman/woman is a gift. On behalf of the latter demographic I'd like to say Drug testing is the least that can be done to save such a pitiful cesspool of wasted gifts and disrespect perpetuated by corrupt and gluttonous sponsors and the ASP organization.

kala mai, Al. Sometimes, I let my fire get the best of me. Growing up in Paumalu (sunset beach) witnessing good kids turn bad, the land's shift from country to suburbs, and the gradual desecration of the sport at the hands of fools…has made me a little jaded to say the least. At the risk of sounding like a naive hippie, I always liked to think of it the following way…
We have been given a brilliant opportunity. My home is a pin prick unseen on most maps. Yet due to an immensely magical natural phenomenon we have been gifted wave energy and the knowledge and ability to access that energy. An energy that begins in great dissonance and volatility, that becomes focused after traveling great distances, to come ashore right here to the pin prick on the map. To come to me! to us! to ride! No two waves are exactly alike, and each one a gift. For a couple months a year people from all over the world descend upon us to compete. They bring with them different languages, world views, and customs of their homelands. Come together in my backyard, and during Makahiki no less! A time marked in ancient days by the quelling of animosity and forbiddance of war in observance of Lono's passing and his gift of rain. There was peace and celebration through dance, music, and SURFING! Is it too much to wish it truly could be a peaceful time of cultural exchange and celebration??..instead of a time of dick measuring and other caveman like behavior. Sorry threw that last one in for biting wit's sake. 🙂 Take care Al, I've enjoyed reading your posts.

I'd like to say it's time for Marvin to eat his foot in light of new events but we'll have to wait and see just how serious the ASP gets about enforcing this.
- whitey
This is the most ridiculous post I have ever read on this site, and is a complete joke. Who the heck is this guy Marvin, and why does anything he says matter to anyone? Recent events have shown just how out of touch this so called writer is. Drug testing is on Marvin! He tries to blend free-surfing and lifestyle in the same league as competitive surfing? WTF? Cruising around and surfing/partying with friends is one thing, but being part of an organization with rules and competitions is obviously different. Those guys are on tour because they want to be. They are dedicated ATHLETES and will be happy to take the drug tests. The beauty of surfing is it's diversity. If you want to cruise and party and smoke weed and snort blow and surf, then awesome. Go for it. Who cares? But if you are competing on a supposedly level playing field then you need to be tested for performance enhancing drugs and recreational drugs as well.
- whitey
Oh yeah, this author is from SACRAMENTO!!! WTF is this guy writing about surfing for? Just another clueless surf "journalist" to add to the piles of opinions from "writers" that don't know a damn thing about real surfing. Shame on you Inertia for this crap. I though this site was cool when I first started reading all the posts. Now, after the last several posts, I feel this is falling off the radar of relevance for me. Do us a damn favor and get rid of the amateur "3rd year writing majors" please.

First time on Carnival: Carnival Breeze Cruise Review by ingreece
Overall Member Rating
First time on Carnival
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
The cabin was incredibly small and plain. The noise from the Lido was awful and heard throughout the night, every night we were onboard. The walls are too thin and we heard the TV early each morning from our neighbor's cabin.
While most of the food was good in the dining room, I believe there is some room for improvement here. The waiters made numerous mistakes with service though they were extremely nice. Our waiter also smelled of body odor and should have been counseled on it. The comfort foods on the menu were enticing and above all the melting chocolate cake was our favorite dessert.
The Carnival production shows were too loud and in More your face for us and there is not one indoor space we could find for peace and quiet. Even the library has music piped in.
Onboard shopping was excellent but a bit crazy during sales such as the $5 t-shirt sale where people were acting like animals.
The cruise director was very personable and sincere. We missed the port of Monaco due to "weather" that never appeared until we would have left the port but the Captain has to make those tough calls. Other than that most days were sunny and we were able to enjoy the activities upstairs. It would be nice to have an indoor pool on the ship but it seems nowadays few ships have them.
We would recommend this ship to others and would like to sail on her again. Less

text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 221122 AFDTOP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 622 AM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 248 AM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017 Outflow from storms in south central NE last evening has pushed southeastward into our area. A 40 kt low level jet out of the south has intersected this outflow and this along with residual moisture in that layer has supported additional storm development in north central KS. The SPC meso analysis and short term models show that as these storms move eastward the moisture and elevated cape decreases so this activity should begin to weaken. Mid to high clouds will likely linger through the morning, but mostly sunny skies allows highs to reach the 90s again today. This evening a stronger cold front pushes into the forecast area. Scattered shower and storms are possible along the front although the chances remain relatively low. A majority of the models show poor moisture quality across north central KS when the front arrives. Further south the low level moisture is better, but a strong cap remains in place. Later in the evening mid level moisture appears to improve although cin continues to be an issue. The relatively steep mid level lapse rates may contribute to enough instability for storms if any to produce small hail and strong wind gusts, but widespread severe storms are not likely. Also, the deep layer shear is fairly weak to support severe activity. Late tonight perhaps the mid level height falls and forcing along the fronts aloft will allow for more shower and storm coverage. In fact most of the models show most of the precipitation is post frontal and mainly after midnight. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 248 AM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017 The model consensus has the cold front pushing south of the forecast area Friday morning with dryer air moving south behind it. So precip chances should be diminishing through the morning. After that a surface high pressure system is progged to remain over the central plains through Monday with northwest flow overhead. This pattern favors cooler temps. The biggest uncertainty involves mesoscale features and the prospects for light precip. The ECMWF remains the biggest question mark as it develops a surface low over southeast CO and bring warm air and moisture into central KS on Saturday as a result of the surface low. None of the other guidance has anything as strong in the MSLP prog, although they do develop weak warm air advection (WAA) into southwest KS and southeast CO. With the majority of solutions showing a weaker WAA pattern further southwest of the forecast area, have favored a dry forecast for Saturday night into Sunday morning and only have some slight chance POPs across north central KS Saturday afternoon in case the WAA gets an isolated shower to form. Models show little if any instability and forecast soundings even indicate an inversion in place over the layer where the WAA is progged to occur so thunder appears to be unlikely. By Sunday afternoon and Sunday night, there are some indications from the models for some energy moving through the northwest flow aloft while lapse rates gradually steepen. So have some small POPs in the forecast for this. Better return flow is anticipated for Tuesday and Wednesday as the surface high pressure weakens and moves to the east. This should allow for low level moisture an instability to return to the region. Models suggest there could be a low amplitude shortwave move through the plains as the synoptic pattern deamplifies. However models develop a fair amount of inhibition with an elevated mixed layer advecting over the area as well. Regardless of the CIN progs, the models seem to agree on decent QPF Tuesday night into Wednesday. So the forecast has some chance POPs towards the end of the forecast. Temps look to be below normal for Friday through Monday as the surface high pressure system remains over the central plains. Temps should trend back to and above normal by the middle of next week as southerly low level flow brings warm air back north. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning) Issued at 619 AM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017 A few showers and storms may linger around MHK for the next few hours otherwise VFR conditions expected through this evening. Late tonight a front will move through the taf sites causing a wind shift to the north. There is a chance for showers and storms along and behind the front. Also, models are hinting at the possibility of MVFR stratus moving in towards the end of the taf period. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Sanders LONG TERM...Wolters AVIATION...Sanders

The Southern Lehigh girls volleyball team is having a great season thanks in no small part to senior outside hitter Melann Amory.
The Spartans advanced to play in today's PIAA 3A semifinals at Governor Mifflin Intermediate School (6:30 p.m.) after a pair of victories last week.
In the latest, a 3-1 defeat of Upper Merion on Saturday, Amory paced the District 11-champion Spartans with 27 kills, two blocks and three service aces. In Tuesday's win over Delaware Valley, Amory led the team with 18 kills

Gluten Free Peach Crisp
Recipe by Elanas Pantry
This lightly sweetened, gluten free peach crisp is delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Top Review by IrishHeart
I made several substitutions. I used 1 cups sorghum flour and 1/2 coconut flour because I wanted to avoid almond flour. I used coconut oil and reduced the salt to 1/2 tsp. I really don't know why you need salt at all, and the instructions don't tell you when to add it. I could taste the salt so I'm glad I didn't use the full amount. I did not have arrowroot so I used tapioca starch instead. It turned out really good and I would make this again.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 6 large peaches, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot
- 1 1⁄2 cups blanched almond flour (Bob's Red Mill Blanched Almond Flour will NOT work!)
- 1 teaspoon celtic sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 cup grapeseed oil
- 1⁄4 cup agave nectar
Directions See How It's Made
- Place peach slices in a large bowl, sprinkle with lemon juice, vanilla and arrowroot; toss to incorporate all ingredients.
- In a smaller bowl, combine almond flour, salt, baking soda, grapeseed oil and agave for topping.
- Place peach mixture in a 3 quart baking dish.
- Crumble topping over peaches.
- Bake covered at 350° for 1 hour, until peach juice is bubbling; remove cover and bake a few more minutes until topping is golden brown.
- Serve.

About Me
Hello all, I am currently working Full-time, finishing up my senior year at the Art Institute of Indianapolis, working to find an internship with a top fashion design house and taking care of my baby boy. SO my time is very limited and I do not have much time until after I finish my internship. Hopefully mid 2012! To everybody that I have not emailed back, to the comments left that I was not able to return a message, I truly apologize!!!! And thank you!!!
I really love creating designs that empower women and yet make them feel sexy. I want my designs to make women feel comfortable in what they wear and make every guys head turn in awe. I like to blend sophistication with edginess.
Again, I am enrolled in the Art Institute of Indianapolis working toward my degree in Fashion Design; this being my senior year and taking a full schedule, my time is VERY limited. So, I do apologize if I don't get back to you right away.
In the past, I have designed onstage outfits for singing artist Lynda Sayyah, sold some of my designs in Leslie Jane's boutique in Zionsville and received positive feedback on the fashion shows I have attended. I have had one of my designs advertised in Seventeen magazine, April 2009, and had a wonderful experience being interviewed for an article on my designs for Indianapolis Monthly magazine, August 2009.
I have won the first two CARA Charity Indy 500 Fashion Show competitions. They are a truly great organization, check them out (http://caracharities.org/) the ladies that run the charity are awesome people who work hard for a good cause.
Recently, I had the pleasure to work with Polina Osherov and Nikki Sutton on a collaborative project. These two are quite possibly the best group of individuals I have ever worked with.

C. Michael Pruitt
Construction Manager
About the Project
This project improved safety and eased congestion along westbound Route 7 between West Market Street and Route 9 by constructing a truck climbing lane for slow-moving heavy vehicles. Previously, heavy trucks such as tractor-trailers often slowed traffic behind them as they traveled the steep grade. The project also featured the following safety and operational improvements:
• Reconfigured medians to reduce turn conflicts, and some side street intersection modifications
• Two new roundabouts where the ramps to and from Route 7 meet Route 9 to improve traffic flow and reduce delay along Route 9
• Relocated W&OD Trail through the Route 9 interchange to reduce conflicts between trail users and vehicles
• A new road segment to complete the connection of neighborhoods along Beechnut Road
• Extension of Fort Johnston Road to provide a connection to Alysheba Drive, Farm Market Road and Leeland Orchard Road.
• A new turn lane from eastbound West Market Street to the westbound Route 7 on-ramp.
VDOT administered the project in cooperation with the Town of Leesburg and Loudoun County.
VDOT awarded the design-build contract to the Shirley/Dewberry team on Oct. 25, 2013. Construction commenced on the project June 26, 2014 with the installation of construction signage. The Roxbury interchange was modified from input received at the "Pardon Our Dust" meeting held on May 15, 2014. An artist rendering of this revised interchange is available below.

I have noticed the last week or two that DC is running slow for me. Any other site on the internet is loading fast, just as fast as usual, but DC seems to be taking a long time to load pages and to respond when I click on post reply or I click on a thread I want to read.
Anyone else having this problem?

Taseer wanted a presidential pardon for Noreen, and a rationalization of the blasphemy laws.
In the Oct. 24 issue of New York, Noreen Malone writes about coming of age in "post-hope America."
He was racked with anxiety as to Noreen's fate and could only hope that at the first alarm her brother had hurried her off.
A few moments later, Noreen's eyes opened, and Sheila spoke to her.
The musical voice rose like a flute and Noreen danced about.
Then Noreen had advanced step by step, her eyes wide and alert.
Every time that the Major met Daleham he expected to be told of Noreen's engagement, perhaps even her wedding.
Then Larry had caught the child roughly, and Noreen had struck him!
He spoke only a few conventional sentences, but all the while Noreen felt an inward shiver of disgust.
Noreen and Jan-an, in those warm autumn days––and what an autumn it was!

The Ten Gallon Schemes Of Texas DreamersKevin Kelly
By Edward Zuckerman Viking -- 296pp -- $ 19.95
During the late 1830s, thousands of impoverished tenant farmers scrawled GTT--gone to Texas--on cabin doors across the Old South and moved to the newly independent Lone Star State. They fled crop liens and the eroded, used-up soil of Alabama and Georgia to claim large tracts of virgin prairie, free for the taking. "Big country . . . fed big dreams," one historian wrote of America. And Texas fed some of the biggest dreams of all.
Grand ambitions didn't beget many great fortunes, though. The lucky few found wealth raising cattle, and later, drilling for oil. The many just scraped by, but even so, Texas became the repository of American dreams, and generations journeyed there hoping to strike it rich. The aura of wealth attracted people who lived gaudily and, often enough, went bankrupt. It's no coincidence that Texas is the epicenter of the thrift crisis.
Like so many others before him, author Edward Zuckerman was seduced by the spirit of Texas ("which is America but more so," he writes). Small Fortunes: Two Guys in Pursuit of the American Dream is his splendid ode to the state and its citizens. At once sad and amusing, it traces the rise and fall of two entrepreneurs who try to grab the golden ring in 1980s Texas, while around them thrifts blow up, the infamous cavort, and fortunes are squandered. The men's ambitions, it soon becomes clear, run way ahead of their abilities.
Zuckerman sweeps us quickly into the mundane yet incredible lives of his subjects. Peter Binion, a native Texan, intends to become a cattle baron by marketing a little-known breed. Ohio-born Jim Teal devoutly believes he'll make millions selling T-shirts featuring characters from the comic strips Bloom County and Shoe.
Teal comes closer to riches, and his fall is dramatic. But it's Binion, a Texas A&M grad, Vietnam veteran, and rodeo bull rider, whose visions soar higher. Binion's college studies introduced him to cattle breeding and to an obscure strain from St. Croix known as Senepol, noted for its lean meat, red coat, and heat tolerance. Convinced he has hit on a way to reverse the declining fortunes of the beef industry and create a new export product, Binion sinks his money into a ranch.
He's in trouble from the start. His efforts to raise money through limited partnerships fail. Bad luck plays a role, as Zuckerman notes: "The deal appeared to be all but set when one of the investors was found dead of a shotgun blast in his Cadillac." Cattle sales to shadowy figures in Sri Lanka, Argentina, and Guatemala collapse. When cash-strapped Texas banks foreclose on the ranch and Binion retreats to the hazardous-waste-disposal business, you can't help but feel his loss.
Teal, on the other hand, is already wealthy when the book opens. Zuckerman vividly retells his rise from chicken-breader at an Ohio Kentucky Fried Chicken store to an owner of bars featuring male strippers. Teal sums up his approach to life when he tells Zuckerman of an encounter with some young hoodlums on a window-breaking spree during his days at KFC. "We were going to shoot them if they came over," he recalls. "This was all against the rules of Kentucky Fried Chicken, of course."
As the first store manager of the Wendy's hamburger chain, Teal amassed stock options that made him a millionaire. And after he moved to Texas, he did well with his bars. But other, ill-starred ventures put a dent in his bounty. His hot-tub rental business was clobbered by the herpes scare. Then an effort to market high-tech phones soured. Writes Zuckerman: "The biggest problem with the phones, from Jim's point of view, was that they would occasionally explode. He had one in his house, and when it burst into flames one day, he called the business quits."
Teal and his partner in the T-shirt venture, Gary Shuster, are devoted to sophomoric high jinks that Zuckerman manages to describe without ever being insulting or judgmental. We accompany them, among other places, on a topless golf outing attended not only by drunks and bare-breasted women but also by the fierce Texas fire ant. Here Zuckerman offers an important advisory for those who venture to Texas: "If you brush off fire ants with your hands, you get fire ants on your hands, as the visitor from New York learned about five seconds too late."
To finance such fast living and to continually expand their business, Teal and Shuster draw on their profits and then start borrowing recklessly. As a consequence, their company fails, and Teal is wiped out.
Recklessness, Zuckerman understands, defines Texas. Its thrifts are a case in point. At Austin's Lamar Savings, Teal gets a loan in exchange for little more than a handshake. But that's not so surprising: At the same time, the thrift is busy applying for federal approval to open a branch on the moon.
Zuckerman, a Spy contributing editor, writes with grace and wit, his sharp style buttressed by his ear for dialogue, as when he catches one of Binion's investors moaning: "I just wanted the cattle for relaxation." About the only weak point is his tendency to end chapters with portentous comments, several of which fall flat.
Zuckerman captures the essence of Texas and renders Texans in all their mind-bending complexity: driven to excess, devoted to family, always looking for an angle, yet somehow retaining their idealism. They're admirably resilient, even in their folly. Elsewhere, bankruptcy and depression might break the spirit. But as we leave Teal and Binion, they're both plotting comebacks.

text: The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 08/30/2013 settlement date, which shows a 538,373 share increase in total short interest for TETRA Technologies, Inc. ( TTI), to 5,072,739, an increase of 11.87% since 08/15/2013. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for TTI at the 08/30/2013 settlement decreased to 391,658, as compared to 684,874 at the 08/15/2013 report. That brought "days to cover" up to 12.95, a 95.63% increase from the 6.62 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release.

Dr. Robert L. Epstein
LASIK surgery and PresbyLASIK in Chicago, Des Plaines and McHenry, Illinois
LASIK Eye Surgery, explained by Dr. Robert L. Epstein, M.D. of
Mercy Center of Corrective Eye Surgery.
Robert L. Epstein, MD, is a well-respected vision correction expert and board-certified ophthalmologist who has been serving patients throughout the Chicagoland area, as well as other areas of the U.S. and throughout the world, since 1980. Dr. Epstein was the first surgeon in the Midwest and one of the first in the United States to perform LASIK surgery. He holds several patents, including one for an ophthalmic instrument designed to increase the safety and accuracy of LASIK and other laser vision correction procedures. Dr. Epstein also co-developed a multifocal LASIK procedure to free people from reading glasses and bifocals. He is a reviewer for the Journal of Refractive Surgery, the author of three influential books and is on the editorial advisory board of Review of Ophthalmology.
Dr. Epstein is committed to optimizing each patient's visual outcome.
More About the Mercy Center for Corrective Eye Surgery
Contact Dr. Epstein to order his new book: Seeing After 45.
Dr. Epstein serves as Medical Director and Chief Surgeon at the Mercy Center for Corrective Eye Surgery, where he personally selects and trains each staff member to ensure quality patient care. To determine the best course of action for vision correction, each patient at the Mercy Center for Corrective Eye Surgery undergoes a comprehensive examination prior to surgery. Dr. Epstein utilizes the latest custom wavefront technology the VISX STAR S4 excimer laser system when performing LASIK. This state-of-the-art system takes extremely precise measurements of the cornea's curvature, producing a unique map which is then used to program the excimer. When combined with Dr. Epstein's skill and experience, the STAR S4 provides for some of the safest and most precise LASIK outcomes.
Dr. Epstein also offers the following treatments:
- Epi-LASIK
- Implantable contact lenses, or ICLs (for patients who are not good candidates for LASIK)
- Advanced cataract surgery with Crystalens (an intraocular lens that corrects for both distance and near vision)
In addition, Dr. Epstein specializes in "PresbyLASIK," also called multifocal LASIK. This revolutionary procedure meticulously reshapes the surface of the cornea to improve near, intermediate and distance vision. Unlike traditional LASIK, which corrects for either near or distance vision, PresbyLASIK helps patients with presbyopia see objects at all distances. Many patients no longer need bifocal eye glasses or contact lenses following this treatment.
More About Dr. Epstein
Dr. Robert Epstein earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees in electrical engineering. Prior to attending medical school at the New Jersey Medical School he worked as a research scientist at Bell Laboratories. He completed a residency in ophthalmology at the University of Illinois School of Medicine. In addition, Dr. Epstein received a Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Epstein is recognized as a pioneer in ophthalmology for his work in the area of presbyopia (age-related farsightedness) treatment. He performed "presbyopia reversal" in 1997 (the first surgeon in the Chicagoland area to do so). He is also one of the few surgeons in the U.S. who performs scleral reinforcement, a procedure that helps patients who are extremely nearsighted and at risk of going blind.
Patient Testimonials
"Hi, I live in Antioch, Illinois, and I had glasses for 30 years until I had LASIK surgery with Dr. Epstein. My husband had the surgery with Dr. Epstein before I decided to do it. It is the best thing I have ever done! I now wake up and see my kids and can go swimming with them without getting splashed and getting spots on my glasses. I recommend LASIK to everybody!"
"I work in the Woodstock area and I have been wanting to have LASIK for 15 years. I learned about Dr. Epstein from several friends and 1-800-I-CAN-SEE. I decided to have the surgery right before I turned 50. I am about to turn 52 and I'm so pleased with the surgery. I came in and had both eyes done, and that day I could see perfectly. The next day I came in for a check-up and all was great. Dr. Epstein called me later that night to make sure everything was fine, and it was. I am pleased that I had LASIK. I no longer reach over to shut off the alarm clock and look for my glasses. What an amazing feeling!"
"I am from Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. I struggled with glasses and contacts for a long time before I decided to have LASIK with Dr. Epstein. I now take for granted how good I feel and how easy everything is. I truly appreciate Dr. Epstein and the LASIK he performed."
"I am from Chicago. I had LASIK with Dr. Epstein around three years ago. I had glasses since I was in about fifth grade. The LASIK procedure was amazing and life-changing. Being able to reach over to the night stand and without having to reach for my glasses is great. I wish I had LASIK sooner!"

Stephan Richard Whaples
Gearl Dale Adams
A most wanted fugitive, 23 year old STEPHAN RICHARD WHAPLES, was arrested and taken into custody this afternoon in Izard County after officers from Izard and Baxter Counties checked a residence in Pineville, Arkansas for him.
STEPHAN WHAPLES was the object of a several hour manhunt on July 17th in Norfork, Arkansas after he fled from the Norfork Police Chief at a private residence. Authorities had been following up on leads since July 17th, which resulted in WHAPLES' arrest shortly before 3:00 PM this afternoon.
Baxter County Sheriff's Deputies first dealt with WHAPLES on September 30, 2011 when he was arrested on numerous charges after a vehicle pursuit. WHAPLES was arrested a second time on October 27, 2011 on charges that again included Fleeing from Police.
WHAPLES was arrested a third time on April 6, 2012 on multiple charges which again included a Fleeing offense. Each time following his arrest, WHAPLES managed to post bond and be released.
Both the Circuit Court and District Court issued bench warrants for the arrest of STEPHAN WHAPLES after he failed to appear in those courts for an arraignment or a trial. Baxter County Deputies had been searching for WHAPLES since May 5th on those outstanding warrants.
This afternoon, the Izard County Sheriff's Office notified Baxter County that they would be checking one or more residences for WHAPLES. Baxter County Sheriff's Deputy Lieutenant Rick Lucy went into Izard County to offer assistance. Officers checked the first residence and found 27 year old GEARL DALE ADAMS there. ADAMS was wanted on a Baxter County felony warrant for Revocation of Suspended Sentence on an original charge of Nonsupport. ADAMS was taken into custody. From the arrest of ADAMS, officers developed another lead with respect to the location of STEPHAN WHAPLES. Officers from Izard County Sheriff's Office, Baxter County Sheriff's Office, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, and Canine Handlers from the Arkansas Department of Corrections – North Central Unit found WHAPLES hiding in a camper behind a residence on Hickory Street in Pineville. WHAPLES was surprised and quickly taken into custody without resistance.
STEPHAN RICHARD WHAPLES, aka Travis Shane Adams, is now once again in the Baxter County Detention Center being held without bond on the following bench warrants for Failure to Appear:
Warrant # WR121670 Issued 05/05/2012 Fail to Appear – MisdemeanorWarrant #1200213 Issued 06/28/2012 Fail to Appear – FelonyWarrant #1200214 Issued 06/28/2012 Fail to Appear – FelonyWarrant #1200212 Issued 06/28/2012 Fail to Appear – Felony
The original charges against WHAPLES included Fleeing (3 counts), Theft of Property (3 count), Breaking or Entering, Criminal Trespass, and Reckless Driving. In addition to his arrest today on outstanding warrants, STEPHAN WHAPLES is also a suspect in Breaking or Entering and Theft of Property charges in Mountain Home and Baxter County that occurred after he fled in Norfork on July 17th. Additional charges are expected to be filed against him in connection with those incidents. WHAPLES may also face a fourth Fleeing charge from the Norfork Police Chief from when he ran on July 17th.

The increase in the use of high fructose corn syrup corresponds with the increase in the rate of type 2 diabetes in adults. Stick to real sugar if you need sweeteners - or try stevia. High fructose corn syrup isn't the corn syrup your grandmother used. It's just another way to wring $$$ out of a kernel of corn and isn't any good for you whatsoever.No, I'm not a lefty loony liberal spouting off here, I'm an educated woman who has been studying and following what they've been doing to our food supply, and it isn't nice at all.
Since Wed I have been eating very lightly in fact my heaviest meal since has been a potato which I ate last night. So for the most part its been broth type soups, mixed fruit and vitamin water, and a piece of toast with a little butter and honey.Johnny, as for cramps, I've had intense pains but today I am doing better, but all the way up to early this morning it felt like Sumo wrestlers had tap danced on my guts, the pain has been horrible.My aunt who is a nurse says people with diverticulitis complain of pain mainly on the right side, mine was all over, so I will see what happens by Monday and then it may be off to the Dr.Bjorn, you are dead on with your analysis....JP

A former San Francisco Supervisor pleaded guilty Friday to three felonies Friday that go to the fundamental integrity of city operations.
Both the Associated Press's Paul Elias and the San Francisco Chronicle's Wyatt Buchanan did not see fit to name the party of Ed Jew, who is, naturally, a Democrat.
Interesting, Jew attributes his downfall to the examples of others, and, according to Buchanan, "is prepared to name others who he says have engaged in similar actions." Though there's clearly an element of personal responsibility avoidance at play here, it's nonetheless worth noting that AP and Buchanan still had no interest in learning where Jew picked up what Elias described as "lessons taught by other politicians."
Here are the first five paragraphs of the AP story:
A former San Francisco supervisor pleaded guilty to three felony charges Friday and admitted to trying to shake down city business owners with planning permit problems.
Ed Jew resigned from the Board of Supervisors in January after a federal grand jury indicted him on charges that he demanded $80,000 from owners of outlets of the Quickly chain of fast-food restaurants to help them solve their permit issues.
During an FBI sting in 2007, agents videotaped the owners delivering a $40,000 payment to Jew in marked $100 bills and promised to pay the rest later. Agents found $10,000 of that cash wrapped in foil and stored in a freezer during a raid of his Burlingame home.
After changing his story several times, Jew told the FBI that he gave $20,000 to a consultant and kept the other half. Jew said he intended to donate much of it to charity while keeping the rest to buy hot dogs and hamburgers for community events.
"Even though the money was to be used for projects in my district, taking it was illegal at the time, and I knew it," Jew said in court Friday. He blamed his "inexperience and naivete and lessons taught by other politicians" for contributing to his downfall.
Buchanan further noted Jew's intention to name names:
Jew's attorney said his client believed his actions were legal because that's how he learned to behave in politics. At his sentencing on Feb. 13, Jew is prepared to name others who he says have engaged in similar actions.
An inquisitive reader would want to know if there is a party-related pattern to the corruption. Given the Democratic Party's overwhelming dominance of San Francisco politics, this would appear to be an odds-on likelihood. Yet not a peep was heard from either reporter about this.
Jew also stands accused of election fraud for allegedly lying about where he lived so that he could run in the district he was elected to represent. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges brought by the state relating to that matter.
