Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- July 30, 2014
Kevin Kelly (573) 751-9300
Missouri Universal Service Fund Assessment To Drop
Missouri telephone customers, who use wireline home telephone service for their local and in-state long distance calling, will see a drop in the surcharge they pay to fund the Missouri Universal Service Fund under a decision by the Missouri Public Service Commission.
The assessment rate reduction takes effect October 1, 2014. Currently, the surcharge percentage of .0017 translates to 8.5 cents on a $50 bill. With this reduction, the percentage of .0010 translates to 5 cents on a $50 bill. The Commission voted unanimously to reduce the assessment rate based upon a recommendation from the Missouri Universal Service Board.
The Missouri Universal Service Fund provides financial support to wireline carriers by offering discounted phone service to qualifying low-income or disabled Missouri residents. This program is only available through wireline carriers. Wireless carriers (cellphones) do not participate in the Missouri program.
Also effective October 1, qualifying low-income and disabled customers will see an increase of $3.00 per month in the amount of financial assistance they receive for basic wireline home telephone service. Qualifying low-income customers will receive discounts up to $15.75 per month on their monthly telephone bill; however, this amount can depend on the provider's basic local telecommunications service. Qualifying disabled customers will receive discounts of $6.50 on their monthly bill. Only one discount per household is allowed.
State law created a state Universal Service Fund which is funded through an assessment on all wireline telecommunications in the state. The Missouri Public Service Commission is required to establish the level of funding needed to accomplish the purposes of the Universal Service Fund.
"The Missouri Universal Service Fund is the program specifically designed to help low-income and disabled individuals with the financial assistance they need for basic wireline home telephone service. The support amount has remained constant despite rising rates for basic local telecommunications," Missouri PSC Commissioner Bill Kenney said. "Increasing the monthly support amount for low-income and disabled individuals while at the same time reducing the cost to all Missouri landline telephone customers will help ease the impact of local telephone rate increases." Commissioner Kenney currently serves as chairman of the Missouri Universal Service Fund Board.
Applications for the program are made to local telephone companies. The applications are available at local phone companies.
Case No.

Detailed Description:
Heart failure, a common heart disease affecting nearly 6 million Americans, is associated with high rates of hospitalization and death. Abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system are thought to play an important role in the progression of heart failure. This proposal aims to determine whether novel application of pyridostigmine, a drug currently approved by the FDA only for the treatment of neuromuscular disease, can improve autonomic nervous system function in heart failure patients.
|Heart Failure
|Drug: Pyridostigmine Bromide
|Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Augmentation of Parasympathetic Signaling With Pyridostigmine in Heart Failure

Drug Information available for: Pyridostigmine bromideU.S. FDA Resources
Further study details as provided by New York University School of Medicine:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Baseline Heart Rate [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
- Post Exercise Heart Rate Recovery [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Change in heart rate from peak exercise to 1 minute post-exercise (beats per minute)
|Study Start Date:
|October 2011
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2015
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Pyridostigmine Bromide
Forced titration protocol 15-60 mg every 8 hours as tolerated
Drug: Pyridostigmine Bromide
15, 30, and 60 mg tabs, 1 tab every 8 hours for 10 weeks. Forced titration protocol increases dose at 2 week intervals from 15 to 30 to 60 mg as tolerated. Continue maximally tolerated dose for 4 weeks and then downtitrate at weekly intervals (60 to 30 to 15) and then discontinue.
Other Name: Mestinon
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Matching placebo forced titration 15-60 mg as tolerated
Drug: Pyridostigmine Bromide
15, 30, and 60 mg tabs, 1 tab every 8 hours for 10 weeks. Forced titration protocol increases dose at 2 week intervals from 15 to 30 to 60 mg as tolerated. Continue maximally tolerated dose for 4 weeks and then downtitrate at weekly intervals (60 to 30 to 15) and then discontinue.
Other Name: Mestinon
Detailed Description:
Autonomic dysregulation of the cardiovascular system, characterized by heightened sympathetic activity and withdrawal of parasympathetic activity promotes progression of heart failure. Pharmacological blockade of sympathetic overactivity is associated with reduced mortality risk, but there are few data on pharmacologic augmentation of parasympathetic withdrawal. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors augment parasympathetic neurotransmission by blocking the enzymatic breakdown of acetylcholine at cholinergic receptor sites. Pyridostigmine is a short-acting, reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor approved by the FDA for the treatment of myasthenia gravis. We now propose a Phase II prospective randomized, double-blind trial to compare 12 weeks of treatment with ascending doses of pyridostigmine (15, 30, and 60 mg every 8 hours) vs. matching placebo in 60 patients with symptomatic chronic heart failure associated with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. The clinical pharmacology of pyridostigmine will be investigated for each of the following specific aims: 1) To characterize the effects of oral pyridostigmine vs. placebo on sympathovagal balance in patients with chronic heart failure; 2) To characterize the safety and tolerability of oral pyridostigmine vs. placebo in patients with chronic heart failure; and 3) To characterize the steady state pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of repeated oral dosing of pyridostigmine in patients with chronic heart failure. Mixed effects models will be used to determine the association between study drug assignment and physiological markers of sympathovagal balance (post-exercise heart rate recovery, heart rate variability, cardiovagal baroreceptor function, and rest/exercise blood catecholamine levels), descriptive statistics to characterize safety/tolerability measures (exercise capacity, quality of life, biomarkers of disease progression, cholinergic symptoms score), and population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling to characterize the relationship between study dosing, study drug blood levels, the degree of cholinesterase inhibition and the measures of sympathovagal balance and safety/tolerability. The overall goal is to further characterize the potential of pyridostigmine as a novel treatment in heart failure subjects and obtain information necessary to evaluate the feasibility/logistics of a future Phase III outcomes study in heart failure patients. The proposed studies will provide new data that are critically needed to direct the future development of this promising drug as a novel therapeutic approach for reduction of morbidity and mortality in heart failure patients.

Jennifer Staat, Ph.D
Licensed Psychologist
4014 Oleander Office Park. Bldg D, Suite 103, Wilmington, North Carolina 28403
How you think about God influences how you make sense of what happens to you and how you deal with it. When bad things happen to you or those you love, spiritual searching is natural. Life sometimes forces us to explore and revise our beliefs. We feel pushed to let go of outworn ideas that no longer apply, so we can access new truths . Dr. Staat will help you with this process. You will find answers to difficult questions and have an opportunity to develop a closer relationship with Spirit. Making room for the spiritual in daily life can be a key part of the therapy process.

and what is it like??
just like any other mop, beware! its 8 ounce tho.
jesus christ, no need to review or ask anything....

William Sutton Miller, 84, of Lake Leelanau, Michigan, passed away Sunday, January 19, 2014,
in Quincy, Florida. He is survived by his nephew, Craig McMillan (Jane) of Quincy, nieces,
Suzie M. Johnson (Buddy) of Quincy, Florida, and Cindy M. Murphy of St. Petersburg, Florida;
Great nephews, Ryan Murphy of Charlottesville, Virginia, and Daniel McMillan (Meredith) of
Quincy, Florida; Great nieces, Samantha Collier (Matt) of Tallahassee, Florida, Mary Hilliard
Harrington (Ryan) of Nashville, Tennessee, Brooke Mitchell of St. Petersburg, Florida, and
Sarah Franklin Johnson of Birmingham, Alabama; three great-great nieces and one great-great
He was preceded in death by his parents, A.L. Jim Miller and Willie Mae Sutton Miller and his
sister, Barbara Miller McMillan. Bill was born in Evanston, Illinois, July 20, 1929.
Bill moved to St. Petersburg in 1934 and later lived in Chicago and New York City before
retiring to Lake Leelanau, Michigan. He graduated from Northwestern Military Academy as
the Valedictorian and attended Northwestern University, Grinnell College, and the University
of Michigan.
He worked in the insurance industry before launching a career in advertising and marketing.
He was employed by Leo Burnett of Chicago and later by McCann Erickson in New York. He
was an independent consultant for Coca Cola, Green Giant and Sunkist.
Bill will be remembered for his insistence on perfection, stating that "good enough is never
good enough"; his love for his family of cats; his appreciation of nature; his flamboyance and
histrionics; and his obsession with all things culinary. Bill loved movies, so when his family
asked what they were to say when friends asked about his death, he replied, "Just tell them
'He's somewhere just a little west of Laramie'." (A line from an old western he enjoyed)
Memorials may be made to Robert F. Munroe Day School, 91 Old Mt. Pleasant Road, Quincy, FL
32352; or the Cherryland Humane Society, 1750 Ahlberg Road, Traverse City, Michigan 49696.

Robin Thicke drops new single, video "Blurred Lines"
Listen to Robin Thicke on iHeartRadio
Robin Thicke is back with a new single.
This time, he's teamed up with Pharrell Williams and T.I., dropping a stylish video for his latest called "Blurred Lines."
It's the first music to come from the R&B singer since his 2011 album Love and War and his stint on the ABC competition show "Duets."
The release comes days after Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience, whose lead single "Suit & Tie" has been compared to Thicke's style.
"Blurred Lines" will be featured on Thicke's upcoming sixth album, which will be released digitally on March 26th.
While appearing on "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" this week, the singer spoke of his relationship with a certain famous family - the Kardashians.
Thicke, who says he's known the Kardashians' step dad Bruce Jenner since he was a child, sang for guests at Kim's extravagant wedding to Kris Humphries in 2011. He told Ryan that he'd be "honored" to do it again if Kim and her current beau rapper Kanye West decide to tie the knot.

Woodward records 25 points and 11 rebounds, Mileto scored 15 points against Boise State
BOISE, Idaho -The Wyoming Cowgirl basketball team (11-3 overall, 0-1 MW) suffered a conference opening loss 70-68 against the Boise State Broncos (8-6 overall, 1-0 MW) on Wednesday night in Boise.
"This is conference play," said head coach Joe Legerski. "We had to have someone step up and Kayla Woodward did that tonight with 25 points and 11 rebounds. Boise State hit a three-point field goal at the end of the game and we couldn't hit a final shot at the end.
Laramie, Wyo. (Jan. 9, 2013) – Senior guard Derrious Gilmore scored 17 points for the 25th-ranked University of Wyoming men's basketball team on Wednesday night against Boise State, but the Broncos hit a three as time expired to steal a 63-61 win in the Arena-Auditorium in the Mountain West opener for both squads. The loss snapped a 13-game winning streak for the Pokes (13-1, 0-1 MW), who were one of four undefeated teams left in the nation.
Another busy sports weekend for high school athletes in Johnson County will get underway today. All winter sports teams will be in action this weekend.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - Ripping a page from Michael Jackson's playbook, Peyton Manning has practiced for and played in the last two games with a sticky feeling orange-and-grey glove on his throwing hand, drawing his fair share of curious glances for donning cold-weather gear when the temperatures are in the 50s, as they were Tuesday at practice.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - More than 15 years later, the words "Jacksonville Jaguars" still hit like a cold splash of water around Denver, especially during playoff time.
And if you want to bring back bad memories for Peyton Manning or any of his former teammates, ask them about what happened against Pittsburgh in the 2005 playoffs.
In both instances, the Broncos and Manning roared into the AFC playoffs with top seeding and a week of rest after a bye.
In both instances, the Broncos and Manning were unceremoniously dumped by a team that came into the game as a touchdown-plus underdog.

The Tigers were seemingly on a role in Kansas City this week. Top position player prospect Nick Castellanos finished the Futures Game on Sunday night with an MVP trophy in hand after a three hit day that included a three-run homer for the USA squad. Prince Fielder took home the Home Run Derby crown on Monday night – the second of his career – by besting Toronto's Jose Bautista in the final round.
Tuesday night was supposed to be Justin Verlander's night. The reigning AL MVP and Cy Young award winner was slated to take the hill for the American League squad in Kansas City. AL Manager Ron Washington had announced that he planned on using Verlander for two innings before going to his bullpen, but things didn't go as planned.
Verlander began the game by striking out Carlos Gonzalez of the Colorado Rockies on a swinging third strike, but the National League quickly rallied to get on the board. Melky Cabrera of the San Francisco Giants knocked a hard single to left field, and Milwaukee's Ryan Braun plated him with a deep double off the right field fence. Verlander settled himself down in time to get Cincinnati's Joey Votto out on a called third strike, but the NL was just beginning to do their damage.no comments
Quintin Berry burst onto the scene in late May as a fill-in for the injured Austin Jackson. The month of May ended with Quintin Berry as the new superstar in Detroit with a nine-game (Major League debut) slash line of .333/.395/.436 that also included five stolen bases and nine runs scored. He wasn't necessarily replicating the production that Jackson had provided, but he was helping the struggling Tigers stay afloat.
But naysayers popped up all over the net to tell us why Berry's success wasn't going to last. His minor league track record wasn't particularly good, his .542 BABIP wasn't sustainable, he was striking out too much (34%), and his walk rate wasn't all that high (7%). He was surely going perform worse in the future.
But 14 games later, after a 5-5 day at the plate versus the Colorado Rockies, Berry's numbers were actually better than they were on June1. His slash line now read .333/.409/.436. But his peripheral numbers were still concerning. His .473 BABIP was still unsustainably high, his strikeout rate (26%) remained problematic, and his walk rate (7%) was still below league average. There remained much doubt that Berry could be a successful big league hitter with those types of numbers hanging over his head.no comments
The Detroit Tiger fell below the .500 mark on May 16 after an 11-7 loss to the Minnesota Twins, and hadn't been able to crack the break-even point since. Not until Friday night anyway – 47 games later.
We certainly didn't expect to be "celebrating" the .500 mark in July. Not when the organization announced the signing of prized free agent Prince Fielder, and certainly not after a quick 9-3 start to the year. But that's exactly what we're doing now. There's still a lot of baseball left, and still a lot of issues to fix, but it appears as though the team is back on the winning track.
The Tigers were six games below .500 after a series opening loss to the Cincinnati Reds on June 8. Since that game, they've won 16 of 26 games – winning five series, losing two, and splitting one. That's the type of ball we expected this team to play most of the year. Let's hope it lasts into the second half of the season.no comments
After losing the first two games of the series to the Minnesota Twins, the Tigers salvaged a split by taking the final two games. Justin Verlander tossed a complete game 4-hitter in the Tigers' 5-1 victory on Wednesday. Then Prince Fielder hit the game-winning home run in a 7-3 Tigers win on Thursday.
With the two straight wins, Detroit moves back to one game under .500 at 41-42. They stand 4.5 games back of the division leading White Sox and 2.5 games behind second place Cleveland.
The Tigers host the Kansas City Royals for three games leading up to the All Star break.
Here are a few observations from the Minnesota series:no comments
It was shaping up to be another sad day for the Tigers. They couldn't do much of anything against the Minnesota starting pitcher, Scott Diamond. Detroit managed to squeak out just five hits and two runs against the 25 year old southpaw, but the eighth inning saw the Twins bullpen enter the game, and the Tigers would rally.
Trailing 3-2, Ramon Santiago led off the inning with an unsuccessful attempt to bunt his way on base, but that would be the last out the Tigers would record before regaining the lead. Austin Jackson tripled to right field, Quintin Berry drew a pinch-hit walk, and Miguel Cabrera singled home the tying run. Then Prince Fielder stepped into the box with a chance to blow the game open.
I'm not sure any player shows the stark contrast between the traditional approach to baseball statistics and the sabermetric approach better than Delmon Young.
The traditional numbers on Young look solid. His career numbers (per 162 games) give him a .286 batting average, 16 home runs, and 89 runs batted in. Those numbers in isolation suggest an above average hitter with middle of the order potential.
The sabermetric approach, however, paints a different picture. His career 96 wRC+ tells us that his total value as a batter is actually 4% worse than league average.Delmon's season to date has been a disappointment by any standard, but he has been recording more hits lately. In fact, in his last 29 games played he's knocked out 35 hits. But, unfortunately, his 121 plate appearances during this stretch have been about as Delmon Young as any stretch could be. no comments
It was announced yesterday that first baseman Prince Fielder would start at first base for the American League in next week's MLB All-Star Game, and today it appears that he will receive the honor of participating in the Home Run Derby as well.
Robinson Cano, the captain of the American League Home Run Derby squad, is set to announce his selections at 6:00 PM tonight, but indications are that Fielder has received, and accepted, one of the invitations to participate.no comments

UPDATE: We are working on a simple way for users to access profile pages. Thanks for your patience as we try to sort this out.
On Nov. 24, 2006, The Gazette launched a new hockey website, Habs Inside/Out, promising to offer fans of the Canadiens "absolutely everything" about the most famous hockey team in the world.
Over the last five years, the site has continued to grow and it now receives more than 2 million page views each month. We're even planning to launch an iPhone application in the coming weeks.
After being told by the Canadiens to take the word "Habs" out of the site's name, we have renamed it Hockey Inside/Out. For the time being, the current URL, habsinsideout.com, will redirect you to hockeyinsideout.com. But be sure to change your bookmarks to hockeyinsideout.com and update your RSS feeds.
We've changed the name and made some design changes to the site, but we'll still continue to provide "absolutely everything" about the Canadiens, with our Gazette contributors Dave Stubbs, Pat Hickey, Kevin Mio and Mike Boone, who will continue to blog live during every Habs game.
Your HI/O usernames and passwords won't change, but if you'd like to see your picture icon next to your comments, you will have to replace your profile avatar. We have simple instructions on how to do so here via Gravatar.
You can modify your profile by clicking your username above the "leave a Comment" box, where it says "logged in as 'your username' ". Just click on your username, and you will be brought to the screen where you can edit your profile.
We hope you'll like our new name and our fresher look. Please let us know what you think by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or, as is the great tradition here at HI/O, by posting your comments below.

On the backtrack wiki there is a excellent dual boot movie you should watch. It is the only method that I fully recommend over any other.
I have searched for about 3 days now looking through every post I could possibly find, including searching the wiki, and still don't feel like I have a definite answer.
Let's start by stating, I am in no means a linux expert, nor considered really good with linux(yet), but I am working on it. So with that said, I normally run a dual boot xp/ubuntu on my Dell XPS M140, which works well and I know most consider to be a "dumbass's" version of linux, but we all have to learn some where right? Anyway, to get to the point....
I have removed ubuntu from the dual boot, and now I am replacing it with BT3. My question is, in Ubuntu, the grub boot loader would be loaded into the linux root directory instead of the MBR which I like, but with BT3 it appears it operates the Slax Boot loader instead, which I attempted to make work the same as the grub would work under dual boot, but no matter what I do it seems the Slax Boot Loader wants to load in the MBR and won't give me the option to install in the root instead. Will Slax work the way I am asking or will I have to switch boot loaders to Grub as suggested in the post on the wiki for dual boot using windows boot loader?
I know that is alot of rambling for what seems to be a simple question, but I wanted to make sure everyone would understand what exactly my situation and question was.
Thanks for your help, and feel free to tear in to me, tell me my post is wasted drivel whatever, as I'm a big boy and can take it
Ps. I know some may say, "why not use the slax boot loader?" and that is fine, as I may very well do that, but that would still not answer my question.

By Theresa Goffredo Herald Writer
When Bob Merrick is having one of those yardstick moments, when he measures how far he has come, he always starts in 1988. He was 13, in his bedroom weeping as he listened to the New Kids on the Block band on the radio playing at the Puyallup Fair.
Bob listened on his clock radio and cried in his Everett bedroom, believing he was the only kid in town not at that concert.
By most standards, Merrick has come a long way from that sad childhood as a shy boy with a shaky home life to a successful prime-time radio talk show host whose program receives 80,000 downloads a week and whose guests have included a wide range of stars and emerging stars such as Winona Ryder and Brian Baumgartner, who plays Kevin on "The Office."
Merrick resides in Hollywood, where he is living his dream of having his own radio show where he can interview people and share positive messages with his audience.
In fact, the concept of "The Baub Show" is that it's the positive side of pop culture. Stars share their successes and philosophies on how they rose from the bottom or persevered or fought back demons.
It's celebrities doing good. It's the anti-Lindsey Lohan interview.
Merrick's radio show started as a podcast in his kitchen in 2008. But after returning from working on "Iron Man 3" in North Carolina, he decided to take the plunge and invest some money to start a live broadcast of "The Baub Show."
His audience grew, and Merrick began to get more big-name guests until he amassed a following that in February attracted the attention of the Universal Broadcasting Network in Hollywood, which offered Merrick his own drive-time morning radio show, also to be called "The Baub Show" (www.thebaubshow.com).
"The Baub Show" airs from 9 to 11 a.m. weekdays.
Merrick recently contacted The Herald, not to brag about how he, a former Herald newspaper carrier, is now flying around on private jets, but to deliver the message that hard work, dreaming big and treating others with respect will pay off.
"We have a light inside of us and it really is up to us whether we let it shine or not," Merrick said in a phone interview.
"A bad childhood or not, that was a time in my life where I was at a crossroad. I could have gone down the path and become my mother, gone the way of drugs, homeless in the U District. That was an absolute option for me."
The unconditional love of his grandparents and hard work pulled Merrick through. He does admit that, without a college degree, he winds up working twice as hard.
He worked on 17 feature films before his radio program, behind-the-scenes labor in 16- to 18-hour shifts on "Three Kings," "Cast Away," "Wild, Wild West" and "Iron Man," to name a few. Those films gave Merrick a big network.
"You cannot dream big enough; growing up never taught me to dream," he said.
"A lot of my success is based on attitude and recognizing people are people. That person might be a millionaire but that does not make him better than me. Maybe you don't own a home or you have holes in your socks, but you are not less than me.
"That is what my show is about."
"Accentuating the positive" is the show's tagline. The positive is a hard sell, Merrick admitted. It would be so much easier to become famous by having as a guest someone like Amanda Bynes, an actress who has lately been considered a certified whack job in Hollywood circles because of her crazy tweets and actions.
But Merrick said he would refuse to interview a fallen star even if she asked to be on his show.
"I work very hard at the whole positive thing," he said. "Bad news sells, but truthfully, at the end of the day, I want the performers who show up on time, who are doing good in the world.
"I believe we need more good news and I'm made fun of for that, but I'll take it to make the world a better place rather than jumping on the bandwagon being part of its demise."
One of Merrick's favorite guests has been Geri Jewell, who starred as Blair's cousin Geri on "The Facts of Life" and became the first person with a disability to have a recurring role on prime-time television.
She came out as a lesbian in her upcoming memoir, "I'm Walking as Straight as I Can: Transcending Disability in Hollywood and Beyond."
"Here's a woman who has cerebral palsy and who spent her entire life fighting to live and she's so hilarious and the stuff she has gone through I would have killed myself," Merrick said. "But she has this beautiful life and this is why I'm doing this, because the amount of people who reached out to me after that show."
She had that never-give-up attitude, Merrick said.
And it's keeping that attitude that is the message he's trying to send to young people who might be struggling like he did.
It's all within your reach, Merrick would tell them.
He said he still has several goals he's reaching for and laughed when asked whether he is rich. He called himself "self-sustaining."
Self-effacing, he said he has no voice for radio and wishes he had better enunciation.
But Merrick never forgets that day in his bedroom in 1988.
"I remember that moment because that's how I gauge how far I've come," he said. "Being given this opportunity to be in the mix with some of these people that I interview is so far beyond my dreams, it's not even funny."

Botanical gardens: Tropical Gardens of Maui Hawaii
Tropical Gardens of Maui is a 4-acre botanical garden and export plant nursery located in Iao Valley on the Island of Maui.
Tropical Gardens of Maui is located on the windward side of the island at the entrance of historic Iao Valley. Planting began in 1987 on a treeless lot that was previously a cut flower farm. Sheltered between the valley walls and being at an elevation of approximately 800 feet has provided ideal conditions for the 4 acres of plants; as a result, the garden has grown rapidly. Our location has also provided us with our own unique micro climate that allows us to easily raise a widely diverse selection of plants ranging from Southwestern American Cactus to bizarre Miniature Palms from the rain forest of Borneo.
The main reason for starting the garden was to create a showcase of tropical plants from all parts of the world, with hundreds of varieties of exotic palms, ginger's, orchids, and many other plants including native Hawaiian plants, many of which are rare or endangered. Flowering trees provide the canopy for the understory vegetation and also provide homes for the many orchids and other air plants that can be seen growing as they would in their native habitat. The collection of plants is always growing with new ones being introduced continuously. Sections of the garden are continually being replanted and improved.
Among the unique plants that can be seen growing in the garden is the orchid plant Grammatophyllum speciosum that in its native land is the largest orchid in the world. This year ours bloomed with 14 spikes reaching 10 to 15 feet each and covered with thousands of flowers. Amherstia Nobilis considered by many to be the most beautiful flowering tree in the world is a new addition to the garden and we hope to see its flower show soon. Also along the walk is the Raphia palm, which has the longest leaves of anything in the plant kingdom, up to 60 feet in length. Throughout the tour, signs identify these and the other plants with botanical names, common names, and country of origin.
For Hawaii residents and Landscapers we have a large selection of potted plants, cuttings, and divisions available for sale from our garden. We also offer contract growing for larger orders. Please call or e-mail for prices and availability.
The Gift Shop is full of unique crafts and island gifts with many things made on Maui. We also have a large selection of Hawaiian and plant-related books. Assorted cold drinks and bottled water is also available. Also in the Gift Shop is the plant packing and shipping desk. If you have purchased plants to carry back to the mainland or if you want to ship them we can do it for you here, while you shop or visit the garden. Tropical Gardens of Maui has over 10,000-sq. ft. of certified growing area that is full of orchids and other exotic plants for sale. All of the plants in our greenhouses are certified for export to the U.S. mainland. They can be packed for hand carry or we offer guaranteed shipping with Fed-Ex. We raise all the plants ourselves and, whether they are a result of our breeding or from another local breeder, we concentrate on plants that are very easy to grow and flower in the home environment. At the same time we also try to offer the serious plant collector something they won't be likely find anywhere else. If you don't see what you are looking on our site feel free tom call or e mail us since we always have a few things that are to few to list or that we are feel aren't quite ready to list yet. We don't put anything out until it is well established in the pot size listed.
The self guided tour through the garden crosses Iao Stream and passes the koi pond and palm grotto before working up the hill that has been terraced and made into taro patches where the visitor can see some of the many varieties of Hawaiian taro and find out how it is grown.
At the top of the hill a row of Banyan trees provides a home for all kinds of shade loving orchids that grow among the massive aerial roots of the trees. The top of the hill also provides an excellent overview of the garden and the surrounding area.
Spread throughout the garden are picnic tables, visitors are welcome to bring a lunch to enjoy in the peaceful surroundings that is home for a diverse selection of plant life.

TruTV's 'Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura' - Tonight, 9/11
Wednesdays at 10 PM E/T on TruTV. Tonight, "9/11"
More at http://www.trutv.com/shows/conspiracy_theory/index.html
9/11 - Premieres Wed, December 9 at 10P
Jesse steps into America's most controversial conspiracy by challenging the 9-11 Commission report and considering the claim that the September 11th attacks were an inside job. At the urging of victims' families, he finds witnesses who claim the towers were brought down by revolutionary explosives that were placed in plain sight, but no one knew what they were. Ventura also hears from those who claim the missing black box flight recorders were actually recovered. And he is told a shocking story about who may have been in the cockpits before the jets took off.
Featured Experts and Eyewitnesses: Physicist Steven Jones, who says he found evidence of thermite, a bomb material, in the residue from Ground Zero; explosives expert Van Romero, who performed a test purported to show that liquid thermite can make steel girders burn hotter and faster; demolition expert Brent Blanchard, who says that no inspection for explosive materials was done at the scene; former Air Force pilot Jeff Dahlstrom, who is convinced that 9-11 was a "false flag" operation carried out to push the country into war; Mike Bellone, a recovery worker at Ground Zero who says that he saw airline flight recorders recovered at the scene; Dave Lindorff, a journalist, who says that the recorders were recovered, inspected and turned over to the FBI; Dale Leppard, a former head of the Airline Pilots Association who insists recorders are always found; and former FBI investigator Jack Cloonan, who disputes claims the recorders were found.
About the Show: Jesse Ventura and a team of expert investigators are on a mission to examine some of the most frightening and mysterious conspiracy allegations of our time. They examine available evidence as well as talking to experts and eyewitnesses to learn more about such topics as global warming, possible 9/11 cover-ups, secret government weapons and apocalyptic prophecies. "This is my personal journey," Ventura says, "to prove that there is more to these stories than you know about."

On Thursday, the House rejected a bill that sought to make it a federal crime to perform gender-based abortions or to force someone to undergo one. The vote was 246-168 – twenty votes short of the majority needed.
There is no evidence that gender-selection is practiced in the United States. The male to female birth ratio in the U.S.A. is within normal parameters and is even slightly higher than worldwide rates (105/100, as opposed to 107/100). Despite this fact, the bill was brought and the matter was put to a vote. Republicans and anti-choice activists even tried to shame House members into voting for the ban: National Right to Life Committee's legislative director Douglas Johnson implied that voting against it was "escalating a war on baby girls".
If we are going to start legislating against things that are not happening in order to protect girls and women from a non-existent threat, then we need to immediately present a bill banning Christians from burning women as witches. Witch burnings may not be a widespread problem in the U.S.A., but then again, neither are gender-based abortions. Christian-led witch burnings have occurred recently in Africa and gender-based abortions are performed mainly in Asia. A witch-burning ban actually makes more sense because it actually happened in American history. In the 17th centuries, Christians did burn witches in the colonies. Gender-based abortions, on the other hand, have never been a policy in U.S. history. Now, right-wing Christian males often complain that American women are "too feministic"; if that is true, then the gender-based abortion argument fails, since feminists do not subscribe to patriarchal notions that boys are more preferable. Feminists value females as EQUAL to males; a fact which angers radical right-wing Christians who believe males are superior. To pretend that they are suddenly worried about the plight of females is patronizing and ridiculous.
In keeping with the GOP's philosophy that we must ban things that are not actually happening, a bill banning Christian witch burnings is long overdue. Anyone voting against Christian witch burnings will be "escalating a war on [girls and women]".

Henckels TWIN 1731 knives feature clean lines, made entirely from natural materials. Twin 1731 is pleasant to the touch and is the knife that you will always have at hand and that you can not do without.
Designer Mateo Thun states "To design a knife in its purest shape is the basic idea. Haptics and warmth are important - wood delivers the desire for "high touch", the eye's desire to catch. Wood and high tech can be combined as long as the technology stays hidden. The art lies in the treatment of the surface. This is how the Henckels TWIN 1731 knife was created for Zwilling named after the year that the Zwilling brand was founded."
This Henckels TWIN 1731 4pc Knife Set is great chef's set of incredible Henckels TWIN 1731 knives stored in a beautifully designed leather roll up case.

Product Reviews for Zwilling J.A. Henckels TWIN 1731 Four Piece Leather Roll Set
Here are some videos by Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer. Bob Kramer is one of only 120 Master Bladesmiths in the US. To earn this title from the American Bladesmith Society, one must undergo years of study and then pass a Master's Test. The test required building a 10" Bowie knife made of 300+ layers of steel. This one knife had to cut through a 1" free hanging rope in one swing, chop through a two-by-four twice, shave a swatch of arm hair (after the two-by-four), and finally, bend the blade at a 90 degree angle without the blade breaking. If you succeed, then you submit five flawless knives (including a 15th century Quillion dagger, a very difficult knife to make) to a panel of judges.
"What Is Sharp?" by Bob Kramer
"Honing Your Knives" by Bob Kramer
Products by ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS are timeless classics that have the power to fascinate people over generations. For the last 275 years they have been the result of passion, knowledge and experience. The constant quest for innovation has inspired ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS to take another step into the future and commission the internationally acclaimed architect and designer Matteo Thun with this new development, Twin 1731.
For Matteo Thun authenticity in material and form, balanced proportions, the highest demand on functionality and quality, in short - the constant search for durability, are the basis and driving force behind his work. Large scale or small, in architecture as well as in design, he always follows the same maxim: real luxury is built on simplicity and directness. Only authentic, reliable, pure and unmistakable products positively influence our quality of life, give trust - convincingly self-explanatory.
To design a knife in its purest shape is the basic idea that Matteo Thun implemented for ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS TWIN 1731. A "tool", for lovers of knives and connoisseurs - for users who value the exceptional, ask for the best possible quality and understand good design. Aesthetics and warmth are important - wood delivers desire for "high touch", the eye's desire to catch. Wood and high tech can be combined as long as the technology stays hidden. The art lies in the treatment of the surface.
Using a Henckels Twin 1731 knife is an emotional experience through the combination of outstanding manufacturing expertise and valuable raw materials. The knife is precision-forged from one single piece. The Cronidur® 30 high-performance steel that has been specifically developed for aviation and space technology, guarantees ultimate sharpness and stability.
Blade, bolster and handle are shaped into harmonious unity. The handle, made from valuable Makassar ebony, sensuously combines innovation and design. A new type of blade geometry fits perfectly into the design as a whole. The shape of the bolster gives the thumb a safe lead on the blade, consequently allowing for an easy and precise cut. A Henckels Twin 1731 knife feels powerful, elegant and pleasant to the touch and it fulfils the highest demands on function, aesthetics and ergonomics.
Reduced to the bare essentials with that tangible, perfectly natural intensity of the materials Henckels Twin 1731 is a knife that gets increasingly close to you, a knife that you will never want to be without again.
Clear and defined: The Henckels Twin 1731 knife series comprises the essential knife types. Five knives that fulfil all requirements that wet the appetite for professional cooking.
Henckels TWIN 1731 features a new type of bolster, perfect balance and the handle's ergonomic shape deliver safe, flexible and comfortable handling. New bolster shape allows the edge to be sharpened in full from the tip to the end of the blade.
A new, precise sharpening technology produces the slim wedge-shaped blade with a thin edge and a broad back of the blade.
The special construction of the tang—visible only along the bottom of the handle—adds to the high-quality and pleasing feel. The upper surface of Twin 1731 is closed, the hand touching only the warm and soft wood.
Cronidur30 steel delivers the blade's high bending strength. The knife becomes more stable, the cut safer and more precise.

About the Steel:
Cronidur 30 is a highly nitrogenous martensitic steel. While it has been especially developed for the extreme demands in aviation and space technology, it is now also used for highly strained components in automobile and mechanical engineering. The corrosion resistance of Cronidur 30 is a hundred times higher than standard steel and shows a fivefold higher lifespan than M50 steel. The bearings of the Space Shuttle's fuel pump, where only fluid oxygen and hydrogen respectively, are available as lubricant, had to be changed after each start in the past. Thanks to Cronidur 30 the bearings now withstand more than 40 start cycles. For the construction of airplanes Cronidur 30 is used for the bearings of the main drive shafts as well as the adjustable shafts of the landing flaps. The bearings of the A380's four Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines that deliver up to 100.000 HP, are also made of this exclusive high-performance steel.
Advantages Cronidur 30:
High hardness and strength (up to 60 HRC)
Good toughness
Outstanding corrosion resistance
Long lifespan
Wear-and-tear resistant
Improved initial and lasting cutting properties
More robust in daily use
Well protected against adverse daily influences
Improved knife lifespan
Cronidur 30 is exclusively used by ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS for knife blades.
TWIN 1731 knives are precision-forged from one piece and ice-hardened.

Thanks for the review Meerkatsu!
As you say though, easy to remove... and I doubt it would put someone off purchasing at that price. Still, you'd think they'd come up with something decent looking.

Fella's, just ordered a Tatami Fightwear Gi. White. A3. I'm 6'' and about 90kg so it should be fine. Anyone here used Tatami products before? Its my first one so i didnt wanna go crazy on spends. Its cost me £50.
this is it here - http://www.tatamifightwear.com/produ...?id_product=79
Bullshit I can't hear you. Sound off like you got a pair!
A double weave Judo gi top can be a great piece of kit, it will be heavier and stiffer than a BJJ gi and harder to grip but on the downside will restrict your movement somewhat and be much hotter. It will also last for years. Judo trousers are usually rubbish.
A BJJ gi is usually more comfortable and much lighter, much better for rolling a bit smoother and the only real downside vs a Judo gi is easier grips for your opponent and longevity.

WATCH: Find out why these priests were arrested during church service
Don't worry. Religion isn't under attack. This isn't another scandal involving priests and their actions either. This was all staged by the priests and the local police. The stunt was part of a promotion for an upcoming event called 'Defending the Faith'. The event will be held in Akron, OH on March 22nd and will feature the clergymen having to defend their faith during a mock trial.
Not surprisingly, the video quickly went viral as people reacted strongly to the shocking footage. The Akron police issued a statement explaining the event was staged, but that hasn't stopped people from sharing the video. It looks like the pastors got their message across.

Carolyn, I'm not sure why people have DNA tested if they have not one ounce
of interest in or curiosity about others who might be related within a few
generations. I mean, why even start if there is not any further interest?
I suppose some people may think a "relative" stranger might be interested in
something monetary or other rather than just the exchange of information.
But...c'est la vie. Maybe someday my Armstrong "cousin" will want to know
more about his possible vague relatives in the USA and will decide to
correspond, but until then I'll just have to figure it was not to be.

in a field of poinsettias. The village is made entirely of natural
materials and features a variety of Chicago-style homes and famous
buildings such as the neighborhood bungalow, Chicago Theatre and
Chicago Water Tower Place. Nov. 26-Jan. 8.
Exhibit includes numerous artifacts, photographs and other
documentary items that tell the story of Chicago's iconic candy
makers, including Snickers, Lemonheads, Butterfingers
and Cracker Jack.
Interactive learning centers include a barn slide, apple
orchard and chicken coop. Maggie, a life-sized
fiberglass milking cow sponsored by Golden Oaks Farm in Wauconda,
will be the focus of the new exhibit. Maggie is over five feet tall
and features a working udder that recirculates the water that
children "milk."
