(40g)Say oui to Taste of Nature Organic Fruit and Nut Bar Quebec Cranberry Carnival that explodes with certified organic cranberries, luscious nuts and tasty seeds No additives No artificial flavours No artificial sweeteners No animal products No dairy No preservatives No simple sugars No Sulphur Dioxide No cholesterol No wheat No gluten Low sodium Frequently Asked QuestionsHow long do Taste of Nature bars last?Not long! They're that good. The shelf life is 12 months if you store the bars in a cool, dry place. Why eat organic food?Organic food is better for you, and better for the environment Are their bars and ingredients certified organic?Yes. Some products on the market promote organics, but are not certified. They feel certification is a must or it's an empty claim. Each ingredient they use is certified organic, and each bar is also certified. Are Taste of Nature bars gluten free?Yes, all their Taste of Nature bars are gluten free. Their Niagara Apple Country contains gluten free oats but due to regulations, they don't claim them as gluten free. Where are Taste of Nature bars made?Everything is made in Markham, Ontario, Canada. What is the advantage of eating whole fruit and nut bars versus extruded snack bars?Whole fruit and nut bars take longer for your body to digest, so you feel full for a longer period of time. An added advantage is that you get to see all the ingredients you're eating – what a neat concept! Are their bars baked?No. Their bars are not baked. They cold press them to protect all the precious nutrients. Do any bars not contain peanuts?Yes, these bars have no peanuts: California Almond Valley, Niagara Apple Country, Persian Pomegranate Garden, and Go Ontario granola bar. Their Nova Scotia Blueberry Fields has sprouted flax powder. How is this different than regular flax powder?They soak the whole grains in a measured amount of water and hold them for a specified period of time at controlled temperatures. The water enters the grain and causes it to germinate. This process causes the starch in the grain to convert to complex sugars, which the body assimilates slowly. This gives you more vitamins, particularly the vitamin B complex. What are the benefits of agave nectar in Taste of Nature bars?Agave nectar is composed of 80% fructose, 15% glucose and 5% sucrose. However, the GI level of agave standard is 32. Honey is at 58, cane table sugar at 64. Based on the amount used for the same sweetness, agave syrup has 11% fewer calories than cane sugar, and 40% fewer than honey. Agave nectar in Taste of Nature bars gives you a sweet tasting snack with a GI level below 55 which is the target for a low GI food. Agave is not refined – it's the nectar of the agave plant. Agave is the same plant that tequila is made from, but the process is completely different. They can assure you that there is absolutely no alcohol in their fruit and nut bars. Their bars are low in calories (between 130 and 230 calories per bar) and contain only 6 g to 14 g of sugar. Taste of Nature bars are also low in sodium, and are a good source of energy and fibre, making them a delicious, nutritious on-the-go snack. Is agave nectar a recognized vegan food product and is it organic certified?Yes. Agave nectar is not made from any animal, fish or bee product and it is organic certified. Are all their bars low glycemic?Eleven of their twelve Taste of Nature bars were clinically tested by the Glycemic Index Laboratories, Inc. for their GI score. The results were phenomenal. Their bars came in at GI scores ranging from 21.3 to 51.7, well below the 'low GI' target of 55. See Low Glycemic Index Snacks for Diabetics and Hypoglycemics. Non-GMO Gives You Healthier Snack BarsJust like they are dedicated to organics, Taste of Nature is also dedicated to using only non–GMO ingredients. In their view, Genetically Modified Organisms have no business in their world's food chain. What are GMOs?Genetically Modified Organism is the most commonly used term referring to the genetic engineering of organisms, including food. "This relatively new science allows DNA from one species to be injected into another species in a laboratory, creating combinations of plant, animal, bacteria and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. No GM traits in commercial production (sold to farmers) are for increased yields, drought tolerance or nutritional superiority. GMO crops grown are bred for herbicide tolerance or to produce their own pecticide (bt) which has created health concerns for those consuming the crops." Source: Non-GMO Project In December 2010, they were thrilled to announce that their organic food bars had just been officially "Non-GMO Project Verified". This means they have been independently verified to demonstrate best practices for avoiding genetically-modified ingredients by The Non-GMO Project and its technical consultants, Food Chain Global Advisors. Taste of Nature boasts an impressive set of certifications including organic, gluten free and vegan and they were proud to add this important achievement to the list. The Non-GMO Project offers North America's only third party non-GMO verification. The Project was created by natural food retailers in response to consumer concerns, and is a non-profit organization committed to providing consumers with clearly labeled and independently verified non-GMO choices. Taste of Nature got involved in this project because they shared the same values and goals as the Non-GMO Project. They feel that it is essential that consumers have the right to know what is in their foods, so that they can make the best informed decisions for themselves and their families. Certified Organic IngredientsMake Snack Bars Healthier. Organic food is produced in an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible way. Taste of Nature sources ingredients that are farmed with care for soil regeneration, water conservation and animal welfare. What is Organic Food?Healthy soil provides the basis for healthy crops and a balanced, resilient ecosystem. Organic farmers build the soil using composted organic matter and crop rotations. The organic approach to weed, insect, and plant disease control is knowledge–intensive rather than technology–intensive. Organic farmers use alternatives to expensive agro–toxins such as synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Organic food production methods conform to national organic standards and are regulated by certification agencies. Some products on the market promote organics, but are not certified. They feel certification is a must, or it's an empty claim. Taste of Nature goes to great lengths to ensure that all ingredients used in their bars are certified organic and that their products as a whole are also certified. Each country has different certifying bodies. It is a huge task to keep track of it all and to go through each certification process (USDA/NOP, NOP/JAS, EU). They are dedicated to this process and proud of the work they do. Certified organic means they are doing their share to preserve the health of people, animals, plants, water, soil and their planet as a whole. Organic foods deliver great benefitsOrganic foods are higher in nutrients and deliver more health benefits. Their bars are a good source of fibre, and are natural foods that give you energy, protein, essential fatty acids, omega 3 fatty acids, and a host of vitamins, minerals and trace elements naturally found in organic foods, as well as being low in sodium. They just plain taste better. Doesn't it make sense to eat organic?Act locally. You've heard this before, right? Well here's a little tidbit you might find interesting. At Taste of Nature, they offer their staff the opportunity to buy any of their certified ingredients at wholesale cost. This is their way to encourage their own staff to eat healthy stuff. Starting with Quality IngredientsStarting with quality ingredients is itself, a key ingredient in the making of their bars. It sounds simple and in fact, it is simple. But it requires an absolute commitment to sourcing the best of the very best. The cream of the crop. It requires attention to all details, no matter how small. For example, they travel the world to find the best places where specific ingredients are grown. Then, they work directly with farmers to pick and choose the best of their crops. They could easily buy bulk ingredients from wholesalers and save themselves a ton of time (and money). But then, their bars might not taste so darn good. Another example. They use whole nuts and seeds. You can see this in their bars. They are not extruded (You know, those bars that look like mush? They don't do that). Using whole ingredients means they buy the best ingredients, rather than getting the broken bits and "waste" that growers need to get rid of. They could go on and on about this. Like using apple–sweetened cranberries, as opposed to sugar sweetened. Like using only certified organic and non–GMO ingredients. Like actually tasting ingredients before they are used. There's a lot more to it, but you probably get the idea by now. BRC Standards CertificationBRC Global Standard is regarded as the benchmark for best practice in the food industry. Many retailers and brand owners around the world only consider business with suppliers who have gained certification to a recognized global food safety standard (GFSI) such as the BRC (British Retail Consortium) Global Standard for Food Safety. BRC has evolved into a Global Standard used not just to assess retailer suppliers, but as a framework upon which many companies have based their supplier assessment programs and manufacture of branded products. Obtaining the BRC Standards Certification allowed them to benchmark their Food Safety and Quality Management Systems against the rigorous requirements of the BRC Global Standard. Achieving BRC Certification from the relevant BRC Global Standard allowed Taste of Nature to demonstrate that they take the utmost care in creating high quality, safe and consistent products that everyone can buy and enjoy with confidence. Certified Vegan Food Delivers Health and Environmental BenefitsVegans looking for healthy snacks know the incredible health, social and environmental benefits of eating animal-free and dairy-free foods. At Taste of Nature, they work very hard to make sure that no animal products find their way into your food! What is the Certified Vegan logo?The vegan logo is a registered trademark, similar in nature to the "kosher" mark, for products that do not contain animal products and that have not been tested on animals. The logo is easily visible to consumers interested in vegan products and helps vegans to shop without constantly consulting ingredient lists; it helps companies recognize a growing vegan market; and it helps bring the word "vegan"—and the lifestyle it represents – into the mainstream. The logo is administered by The Vegan Awareness Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about veganism and to assist vegan–friendly businesses. Delicious Snack Bars That Are Certified KosherTaste of Nature bars are an appetizing part of a kosher diet. The Taste of Nature plant, and any new machinery that comes into the building, are Kosher certified. To maintain this certification, rigorous cleaning procedures are performed after every run for every machine. Amongst other things, maintaining the certification includes unannounced visits by a Rabbi for random checks, to make sure their bars follow the kosher rules. The word kosher means proper or acceptable, and it has informally entered the English language with that meaning. But kosher laws have their origin in the Bible, and are detailed in the Talmud and the other codes of Jewish traditions. They have been applied throughout the centuries to ever–changing situations, and these rulings, both ancient and modern, govern OU (Orthodox Union) Kosher certification. You may already be familiar with some of the more well–known requirements, but you may be surprised at the extent of the regulations. The bible lists the basic categories of food items that are not kosher. These include certain animals, fowl and fish (such as pork and rabbit, eagle and owl, catfish and sturgeon), and any shellfish, insect or reptile. In addition, kosher species of meat and fowl must be slaughtered in a prescribed manner, and meat and dairy products may not be manufactured or consumed together. Why do so many foods require kosher supervision?For example, shouldn't cereals and potato chips be inherently kosher since they are not made from meat, fowl, fish or insects? The answer is that all units and subunits in a food item must be kosher as well. So a cereal may be non–kosher because it has raisins which are coated with a non–Kosher, animal–based glycerine. Potato chips can be non–kosher if the vegetable oil used in the fryer has been pasteurized and deodorized on equipment used for tallow production. In fact, equipment used for hot production of non–kosher products may not be used for kosher production without kosherization (a hot purging procedure). Low Glycemic Index Snacks for Diabetics & HypoglycemicsWhat is a glycemic index? The glycemic index (GI Index) is a property of the carbohydrates in different foods, specifically the blood glucose raising ability of the digestible carbohydrates. It compares carbohydrates on a weight for weight basis in single foods or food items, in the physical state in which they are normally consumed. Oh boy, that was a mouthful! What does it mean in regular English? The glycemic index is the measurement of blood sugar over a period of time after having eaten a food item. Make more sense? Low GI load foods control blood sugarWhat is low blood sugar? Simple sugars and food containing simple sugars (and there are many) tend to spike blood glucose, resulting in a sugar high, followed by a steep decline or sugar low. You can feel this as a spike of energy, followed by a feeling of fatigue. To combat this lack of energy, they eat more food to get that energy high again, and this starts a vicious circle. Controlling blood sugar is important for everyone, but it is extremely important for diabetics. Foods containing simple sugars are so prominent in their North American diet, that blood sugar related health disorders are reaching near epidemic proportions. As an example, the Canadian Diabetes Association suggests that, based on a U.S. study, a North American child born in 2000 stands a one in three chance of being diagnosed with diabetes in his or her lifetime. Today, more than 9 million Canadians live with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Approximately 80% of people with diabetes will die as a result of heart disease or stroke and by 2020, it's estimated that diabetes will cost the Canadian healthcare system $16.9 billion a year. Consumers are starting to understand the importance of eating foods with a low GI index, or GI load. The glycemic index score is calculated from complex formulas, ultimately resulting in a GI classification, as follows: Low GI – 55 and below. Medium GI – 56 to 69. High GI – 70 and above. Low GI foods sustain blood sugar and energy, instead of spiking energy highs and lows. 11 of their Taste of Nature bars were clinically tested by the Glycemic Index Laboratories, Inc., Toronto, Canada for their GI score. The results were phenomenal. Their bars came in at GI scores ranging from 21.3 to 51.7, well below the 'low GI' target of 55. Canadian Maple Forest 36.6 Nova Scotia Blueberry 44.3 Caribbean Ginger Island 49.0 Argentina Peanut Plains 21.3 Niagara Apple Country 47.9 Brazilian Nut Fiesta 39.4 Himalayan Goji Summit 38.2 Mediterranean Pistachio 39.0 Quebec Cranberry Carnival 48.1 Persian Pemgranate Garden 51.7 California Almond Valley 40.7 Perhaps the best way to illustrate this is looking at the Blood Glucose levels of the volunteers after eating white bread compared with the results after eating Taste of Nature bars (see chart below) . The Blood Glucose (mmol/L) (vertical line) measured in time (horizontal line) clearly shows that Taste of Nature bars provide sustained energy without a dramatic sugar spike. The results were measured for 2 hours as illustrated in the chart below. However, if the Blood Glucose levels were monitored beyond the 2 hours Taste of Nature would be expected to continue to provide sustained energy while the white bread result in dramatically reduced energy levels. Gluten Free Snacks BarsThat Are Perfect for Celiacs. Gluten free foods are vital to people suffering from Celiac Disease. However, health professionals suspect that more and more people are sensitive to foods containing gluten, especially wheat gluten. If gluten free is vital to you or if you simply like avoiding gluten because of digestive problems or a gluten allergy, Taste of Nature bars are perfect for you. All their bars are gluten–free–tested by the University of Nebraska, to contain less than 10 PPM (parts per million) of gluten. * Their Niagara Apple Country bar is made with gluten free oats, but regulations do not allow them to make a gluten free claim. These are the only bar that Celiacs may want to use with caution. The Taste of Nature StoryCreating Simple, Great Tasting Bars That Leave A Legacy Taste of Nature was founded on this basic principle: to work together as a family to create a food company that makes a simple, great tasting product that would give back to the world more than it took. Their Taste of Nature bars are made from the highest quality organic ingredients, supplied through a network of family farms and businesses. Their bars are made in their facility in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Even though it is a fully accredited British Retail Consortium (BRC) and Good Manufacturing practices (GMP) facility with the most stringent international food standards, they use minimal processing to keep the product nutrient dense. People have to enjoy the food they eat, so they work hard to make bars that taste delicious. To produce the freshest, most nutritious food possible, they produce the bars more frequently in smaller quantities, keep the inventory low, and get the product into stores quickly. Foods that are grown organically are better for people, for the farmers, and for the plants, animals and environment as a whole. It is widely recognized that organic foods are higher in nutrient content. Their bars are a source of energy, fibre, protein, essential fatty acids, omega 3 fatty acids, and vitamins, minerals and trace elements that occur naturally in organic foods. They know that it's possible to provide healthy food while leaving a zero-carbon foot print, and they work every day to make that a reality. They use green business practices in their manufacturing, packaging and shipping. They currently source Bullfrog green power for processing their products. They recycle food waste to farms for use as animal feed. Everything is done with the environment in mind. It is their modest but meaningful contribution to building a better and healthier future for everyone. Taste of Nature gives back too. They donate their bars to the Salvation Army and Second Harvest, and participate in events that promote environmental and ecological awareness. They just started an initiative with Trees Canada to plant trees in wilderness areas and edible trees in urban areas. By giving back they are adding to their community in ways that numbers can't measure. Taste of Nature combines the need to feed people real food with the need to preserve nature. The more they give away, the more they will receive. Taste of Nature is more about why they are making this food than the food itself.


text: BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Being tall is great when it comes to playing basketball or going to the movies, but can be a real pain in the neck -- literally -- when you're shopping for a car. "Picking the wrong car when you're tall can jeopardize both your comfort and safety," says Warren Clarke of auto-buying site Edmunds.com. "You won't be as comfortable in the cockpit as you could be -- and if you're hunched over the wheel, you might not be able to see the road properly or be seated in a way that promotes driver fatigue." To help drivers who are six feet tall or more choose suitable vehicles to buy, Edmunds recently analyzed all mainstream models sold in America to come up with 2013's Best Cars for Tall Drivers. The winning vehicles all offer the largest amount of driver space as measured by the average of front-seat headroom, legroom and hiproom. For instance, Edmunds editors rated a vehicle with 40 inches of headroom, 45 inches of legroom and 55 inches of hiproom in front as having 46.7 inches of average "front interior room." Clarke says tall shoppers should use Edmunds' rundown as a "short list" (no pun intended) of vehicles to consider. But he recommends tall consumers also go to showrooms and test-drive various models to see which ones feel best to them. "Numbers don't tell the whole story about a car," he says. "Some tall people have long legs and others have long torsos, and all of that will impact how you'll feel in a given model." Click below to see the cars that topped Edmunds' Best Cars for Tall Drivers roundup, listed in order of average front seat dimensions. All measurements and pricing figures refer to a given model's 2013 base gas-powered version.

Aaron and I woke up this morning and took one last ride up to the township to say goodbye to the Sinethemba kids. After many hugs and well-wishes we dropped off the candy and the little heart trinkets for Nicolene and Esteline off at Dorothy Broster. Now we are waiting for our cab to pick us up and take us to the George Airport. We have one heck of a day laid out before us.
1.) Hour long taxi ride from Knysna to George (leaving at 11:30am from the house)
2.) George, South Africa to Johannesburg, South Africa (leaving at 2:55pm and arriving at 4:45pm)
3.) Johannesburg, South Africa to Atlanta, GA USA! (leaving at 8:20pm and arriving at 6:40am our home time!)
4.) Atlanta, GA to Indianapolis, IN (leaving at 8:25am and arriving at 10:06am)
We are already tired and ready to be done with the traveling. Emotions are high. We are ready to be home, but we are sad to say goodbye.

Among those honored during the old Lute Olson All-Star Games over the past decade were Arizona's pioneering 1988 Final Four team and its 1997 national champions.
One was never held for the 1993-94 Wildcats, who went 29-6, won the Pac-10, and blew through four NCAA tournament games to reach the 1994 Final Four despite having a young lineup that had lost standouts Ed Stokes and Chris Mills to the NBA.
"They skipped us over for some reason," said UA undergraduate assistant Joseph Blair, a sophomore center in 1993-94. "But it is what it is."
That changes today. The 1994 Wildcats will be honored as part of the program's annual Red-Blue Game celebration, and Blair said he's happy to see recognition for the somewhat revolutionary team that featured a three-guard lineup with the 6-foot-2-inch Reggie Geary playing a (really) small forward position.
Here's how it all happened, according to Geary, UA assistant coach Damon Stoudamire, Blair, forward Corey Williams and coach Lute Olson:
• The Wildcats began their run while going 9-1 against some of Australia's top clubs during an exhibition tour in May and June 1993. It was on that trip that Olson opted to go with guards Damon Stoudamire, Khalid Reeves and Geary, a look that was unconventional at the time.
Stoudamire: "Everything changed, and that's why I think Coach Olson goes down as one of the best coaches ever. That's why that team was so special. You had me and Khalid, and Reggie was the glue guy who came together from a defensive standpoint. It allowed me and Khalid to roam, and do what we do best."
Geary: "If I got a rebound, I could take it down. Any of us could get one and start the break. It was an 'a-ha' moment to know that we could be dangerous."
Olson: "Starting three guards really made sense for us because Reggie was our best defender, Damon was a great point guard who could score and assist, and Khalid Reeves really came on. We didn't have a dominating front line but they were guys that were quick to the ball and ran the court well, so they put a lot of pressure on the opposing big guys."
• While Stoudamire averaged 18.3 points and 5.9 assists per game, Reeves blossomed into a vicious scoring threat (24.2 points) partly because of Stoudamire's help on and off the floor.
Stoudamire: "Man, I had the ultimate green light as a player. I knew the system, and (Olson) allowed me to be more who I was as a player. A lot of the times I knew what Coach was thinking before he ever said it."
Olson: "A lot of (Reeves') success was due to Damon because Damon was such a workaholic and Khalid was known as one who liked video games. Damon's work ethic really stepped in there (to influence Reeves)."
Williams: "Being Damon's roommate was really interesting because I got the firsthand view of his success. People see him in the games being successful, but I'd see him getting up at 4:30 in the morning to work out. He knew how to have a good time, but he was laser-focused on being the best in the conference and the country."
• The rest of the Wildcats fell into place behind Reeves and Stoudamire. Geary was a big defense-and-rebounding guy, Owes and Blair were improving big men, and Williams, Dylan Rigdon, Joe McLean and Kevin Flanagan were key role players.
Stoudamire: "Reggie brought energy. Then we had Ray Owes, who was kind of like the ultimate four man (power forward) at that time — he brought a totally different dynamic — and J.B. (Blair) who was obviously coming into his own."
Williams: "The crazy thing was Damon and Khalid had to do it for us, and everyone else was complementary, so it had a calming effect. That allowed everybody to play together. Things were real competitive (the previous season) when we had Chris and Ed. It's my personal opinion that when teams have clear go-to guys, it's easier to be consistent."
Olson: "The big thing as a coach is you take a look at the talent and then adjust accordingly. All three of the perimeter guys could take it to the basket really well. … Joseph had a great shooting touch, and he was an outstanding athlete, but Ray (Owes) was a terrific perimeter shooter, and we could run a lot of pick-and-pop things, spread the defense way out, because they couldn't let Ray get a good look."
• The Wildcats lost only once in nonconference play, by a point to Kentucky in the Maui Invitational, and knew they had something special. They went 14-4 to win the Pac-10.
Geary: "We were in shock that we lost (to Kentucky) and knew we should have won. That gave us confidence. Damon and Khalid were pretty much unstoppable. We had these security blankets that could go off at any time."
Williams: "I remember feeling we're playing with house money. (People) said, 'They have no big men,' so Owes and Blair took offense to that. We were talented and hungry, with nothing to lose. We knew our two guys (Stoudamire and Reeves) had to shoot 34 times each, and other teams knew it was coming, but they couldn't stop it."
• Winning the Pac-10 set the Wildcats up with an all-California path to the Final Four, and they took full advantage. Arizona blitzed Loyola (Md.) and Virginia in its first two games at Sacramento, Calif., then beat Louisville and Missouri in the West Regional at Los Angeles' Sports Arena. Though Arizona lost 91-82 to eventual national champion Arkansas in the NCAA semifinal, the Wildcats won their first four tournament games by double digits.
Geary: "We were too fast for (Virginia). Louisville came in with (center) Cliff Rozier, and we made quick work of them. But I didn't realize we made the Final Four until after the game because we were so focused on the task at hand."
Blair: "What I remember was getting our asses beaten by Santa Clara as a freshman (in 1992-93) — so games never felt like a blowout until you looked at the scoreboard with a minute to go. (Not losing) was on everyone's minds."
Olson: "It was a solid run. It wasn't like '97 where every game was teetering on the edge. That team pretty much dominated all of the teams until Arkansas."
• While Stoudamire said the 1993-94 team wasn't as talented as its predecessors of the previous two seasons, those teams lost to East Tennessee State (1992) and Santa Clara (1993) in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The difference may have been chemistry.
Williams: "We all got along. One of the guys who really kept that team together was Kevin Flanagan, a senior. Even though he didn't play a lot, he was the leader of that team. He was the guy in practice who would get into guys' faces. Kevin and Dylan (Rigdon) were like comic relief. They were the guys everybody liked. (In 1992-93) a lot of guys had the NBA on their brain, and that dominated the conversation.
Blair: "We had no animosity. We were so happy for everyone who did well. It was all about winning. That's all we cared about."
Olson: "They enjoyed playing together as a team, and there wasn't anyone with the 'me' type attitude. It was a team in every sense of the word."

BEIJING/SEOUL – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with top officials from China — North Korea's key ally and top aid provider — Saturday to press them to rein in a defiant Pyongyang, seeking Beijing's help to defuse soaring nuclear tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Kerry held talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and met with President Xi Jinping after flying in from a summit in South Korea with President Park Geun Hye, where he offered public U.S. support for her plans to initiate some trust-building with the North.
The Korean Peninsula has been engulfed by escalating military tensions and dire threats of nuclear war since Pyongyang launched a rocket last December and conducted its third nuclear test in February.
China has backed the North since the 1950-53 Korean War and could wield tremendous leverage over the isolated communist regime thanks to the vital aid it provides, including almost all of Pyongyang's energy imports.
But analysts say Beijing is wary of pushing too hard for fear of destabilizing its neighbor, which could send a wave of hungry refugees flooding into China and ultimately lead to a reunified Korea allied with the United States.
China and the U.S. have a sometimes strained relationship, with Beijing uneasy over Washington's "rebalancing" toward Asia, and Kerry's first visit to the region since becoming the top American diplomat has been completely overshadowed by the Korean crisis.
Washington is seeking to persuade Beijing to help rein in the bellicose threats from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and to bring Pyongyang back to the negotiating table over its nuclear program.
China is estimated to provide as much as 90 percent of North Korea's energy imports, 80 percent of its consumer goods and 45 percent of its food, according to the U.S.-based Council on Foreign Relations.
Despite intelligence reports that the North has prepared what would be a highly provocative, medium-range missile launch, Park has in recent days made some conciliatory gestures to Pyongyang.
In a meeting with her ruling party officials Friday, Park said the South should meet with the North and "listen to what North Korea thinks."
While Kerry berated Pyongyang's "unacceptable" rhetoric and warned that any missile launch would be a "huge mistake," he also took pains to stress Washington's backing for Park's initiative. "President Park was elected with a different vision for the possibilities of peace and we honor that vision . . . and we hope that vision is the one that will actually take hold here," he said.
In another sign of U.S. hopes of defusing tensions, Kerry did not visit the truce village of Panmunjom, a common stop for foreign leaders visiting Seoul.
Kerry also attempted to tamp down the significance of a recent U.S. intelligence report that concluded that North Korea is now capable of making a nuclear warhead that can be mounted on a ballistic missile and fired. Kerry said that "it is inaccurate to suggest" that North Korea "has fully tested, developed or demonstrated capabilities that are articulated in that report."

Is Christianity a Hellenistic religion? In a 3-4 page typed double-spaced paper, discuss the distinctively Hellenistic "religious strategies" employed in Chapter 6 of the Gospel according to John, especially in Jesus' speech. Does this passage suggest that the early Christians were self-consciously founding a new religious movement, or reforming an old one?
Questions for small groups:
1. Which of Luther Martin's strategies: piety, mystery, or gnosis are most pronounced in this passage?
2. Does the text allude to features of the Ptolemaic cosmos? What terms - nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. refer to the sublunar or superlunar worlds and the beings who inhabit them? Are there references to some sort of up or down "travel" between realms? Who does it?
3. Where does the text emphasize misunderstanding of divine revelation? Who gets it and who doesn't: the Christian community as a whole? particular individuals? non-Christians? Women? Men? people from Jewish or Gentile ethnic background?
4. Why? What reasons if any does the text give? Is it a secret? what terms suggest that?
5. What terms does the text use for salvation? what are the means of salvation? what are people being saved from?
6. Does Jesus make a point of distinguishing his revelation from earlier Biblical traditions from the "Old Testament"? Where in the text? Where are there quotations of the OT in Chapter 6, and what if any new interpretations does Jesus (or the author of John's Gospel give them?
HINT: Use the notes to John 6 in your Oxford Study Bible. It gives you cross references to other Biblical passages. Look them up in their original context - how is it different from their new context in Jesus' speech in John 6?
7. Are other distinctive tendencies of Hellenistic religion, e.g. syncretism and/or apocalyptic relevant for understanding this passage?
Hint: Use the Perrin/Duling textbook's chapter analyzing John's Gospel as a resource (provided you properly document your sources according to the Chicago Manual of Style guidelines).
8. Where (if at all) does Jesus suggest he is making a radical break with the Judaism of his day? Where (if at all) does Jesus suggest that his revelation is just a continuation of the older tradition?
What is new - the content of the revelation or the audience to who is revealed?
9. Which Hellenistic religious texts (that L. Martin discusses) provide the closest analogies to John 6?
NB: I do not expect you to answer all these questions in your paper. Use your small group discussions of all these questions to pick out only those points that will best support the argument of your paper.

Lewins Mead, Bristol
Case Studies: BRISTOL - LEWINS MEAD
Bristol City Council
The objective of this scheme was to reconnect a commercial area with the centre and reduce the impact of traffic. Lewins Mead, Bristol, is a large site lying at the heart of the city between the major shopping centre, Broadmead, and the historic city centre and Harbourside. The area is dominated by unsuccessful and obsolete 1960s commercial office blocks which loom over traffic choked streets. It is a harsh and unfriendly environment.
Hanover Property Unit Trust, owners of three core office blocks saw little future in their existing buildings or environment and together with architects, key interest groups including adjoining owners, and Bristol City Council set about devising a development framework which would: reduce the impact of traffic; create pedestrian links between Broadmead and the city centre/Harbourside; and provide realistic development opportunities to facilitate the area's regeneration.
The framework was developed by analysing a series of key issues including the archaeology of the site, the scope for diverting traffic, the movement of pedestrians and a range of possible uses.
The public were involved by means of a workshop day, which included representatives from a wide range of local groups and professions. The participants were split into groups, briefed on critical issues and left to formulate ideas for the future of the area. Common aspirations emerged which reinforced the principal participants' views and aided the formulation of the final design framework.
This involved the concentration of through traffic onto one route instead of the current three, the other two routes being dedicated to a public transport corridor and, of greatest importance, a pedestrianised route forming the link between Broadmead and the city centre. This would create a new 'heart' to the area from which further pedestrian links would flow to nearby historic streets, including the mediaeval Christmas Steps. All were unanimous on one point - "demolition of the concrete overhead walkways"!
The Lewins Mead study, through analysis and wide ranging consultation, has produced a strong and realisable framework for future development. Implementation will fundamentally alter the character of the area so that it becomes not only the much needed link between Broadmead and the centre but also a viable element in the life and vibrancy of the city in its own right.
View of the site showing overhead walkways that were universally criticised in the public workshop.

NY Post Latest To Attack Minimum Wage
Blog ››› ››› MARCUS FELDMAN
In a January 16 editorial reacting to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's recent endorsement of a proposal to increase the state's minimum wage, the New York Post claimed that such a wage increase would "kill jobs," as it would amount to a "massive tax hike."
In fact, nonpartisan analyses have shown that increases in the minimum wage do not affect the employment rate.
A 2010 study on "Minimum Wage Effects Across State Borders" by University of California-Berkeley's Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE) found "no detectable employment losses from the kind of minimum wage increases we have seen in the United States":
For cross-state contiguous counties, we find strong earnings effects and no employment effects of minimum wage increases. By generalizing the local case studies, we show that the differences in the estimated elasticities in the two sets of studies result from insufficient controls for unobserved heterogeneity in employment growth in the national-level studies using a traditional fixed-effects specification. The differences do not arise from other possible factors, such as using short before-after windows in local case studies.
The large negative elasticities in the traditional specification are generated primarily by regional and local differences in employment trends that are unrelated to minimum wage polices. This point is supported by our finding that neighborhood-level placebo minimum wages are negatively associated with employment in counties with identical minimum wage profiles. Our local specification performs better in a number of tests of internal validity. Unlike traditional fixed-effects specification, it does not have spurious negative (or positive) preexisting trends and is robust to the inclusion of state-level time trends as added controls.
How should one interpret the magnitude of the difference between the local and national estimates? The national-level estimates suggest a labor demand elasticity close to -1. This implies that an increase in minimum wage has a very small impact on the total income earned by affected workers. In other words, these estimates suggest that the policy is not useful for raising the earnings of low-wage workers, as the disemployment affect annuls the wage effect for those who are still working. However, statistical bounds (at the 95% confidence level) around our contiguous county estimates of the labor demand elasticity as identified from a change in the minimum wage rule out anything above -0.48 in magnitude. This result suggests that minimum wage increases do raise the overall earnings at these jobs, although there may be differential effects by demographic groups due to labor-labor substitution.
These caveats notwithstanding, our results explain the sometimes conflicting results in the existing minimum wage literature. For the range of minimum wage increases over the past several decades, methodologies using local comparisons provide more reliable estimates by controlling for heterogeneity in employment growth. These estimates suggest no detectable employment losses from the kind of minimum wage increases we have seen in the United States. Our analysis highlights the importance of accounting for such heterogeneity in future work on this topic.
And according to a 2009 IRLE study:
We also find no relationship between the minimum wage elasticity of overall teen wages and the elasticity of employment across the 74 commuting zones. This result provides further evidence that there is no discernable disemployment effect, even when minimum wage increases lead to relatively large wage changes.
The Post is not the first News Corp. outlet to level an attack on the minimum wage. In September 2011, Fox & Friends hosted author and businessman Peter Schiff to claim that the minimum wage negatively affects employment among the young and poor. And in December 2011, Fox's Stuart Varney appeared on Fox & Friends to rail against San Francisco's minimum wage hike.

The annual Access and Fairness Survey results were recently released and the results are now available online. The survey has been conducted each year since 2006. Individuals are polled in each district courthouse in the state for one day. Responses came from litigants, their friends and family members, attorneys and paralegals, social workers, agency staff and law enforcement.
The survey measured court users' views in 20 areas, including ease of parking, safety in courthouses, language barriers, disability accommodation, business hours, the time needed to finish court business, treatment by court staff, and whether their hearing was fair.
In nearly all areas surveyed, 90 percent or more of respondents rated the courts adequate or better on a five-point scale.
Next Monday is Halloween. The U.S. Census Bureau has put together an interesting facts page for the popular holiday, including the number of businesses where you can rent or buy costumes (1,719 in 2009) and how many pounds of pumpkins are produced in the U.S. (1.1 billion pounds in 2010).
Many Utah cities and police departments have put together safety tip guides for trick or treaters and parents, including Layton, Sandy, and Lehi.
In addition to trick or treat activities, Utah cities, libraries, and schools may also be hosting Halloween activities. Contact your local city or county office, public library, or school district to see if there are Halloween related activities for you and your family. You can also search for events on the Utah Office of Tourism online calendar.
October 23-29 is Pro Bono Week, a national celebration and promotion of pro bono volunteerism among attorneys.
Utah will be celebrating Pro Bono Week with a variety of activities, including free legal clinics for the public, a movie night, a Pro Bono social and a Pro Bono Jam concert.
On Tuesday, October 25, there will be a "Legal Clinic Blitz." In addition to the regularly-held Street Law Legal Clinic in Salt Lake City and Talk to a Lawyer Clinic in St. George, there will be a free legal clinic in Orem on the fourth floor of the UVU Library from 6:00-8:30 pm.

Thank you. I remember being told that my car did not have Bluetooth at the moment I ordered it, but it would seem it was built 'on the cusp' of the dates where the Bluetooth function was installed or enabled. What gives hope is that my phone detects the car when I press the R/T button. I would have assumed that the R/T button would be inoperative if there was no Bluetooth.
Anyway, I will be bringing the car in for some repairs in the New Year and will ask the dealer at that point. Of course, if I DO have BT, you will hear from me!
Again, tks. for all your help!

"Well there was never any water out at the creek when I was a young fella, so we just didn't learn. And no basterd'd ever bloody seem to want to teach you. A half-caste tried to teach me once down at that river when I was about your age, but it was bloody hopeless" - Pa, on not being able to swim.
My grandfather is probably the most cliche Australian I know. He's one of those people that manages to be absolutely hilarious without trying or intending to at all.
I'm always on my phone, especially lately, partly because I joined the legions of pompous iPhone owners and partly because I am and have always been a person that desires continuous social interaction, especially when life isn't the best. Pa's latest method of chiding me about it is questioning whether whatever else I'm doing/saying is on the phone. Eg, I'm making us lunch and read a text message: "does that thing make the sandwhich for you does it?" or we're discussing who we think will win the tennis "that thing knows does it?". It's certainly a progression of sophistication from "I do NOT know why you ALWAYS have to be on that bloody thing". He asked me what time my sister was working today and I opened my phone to look at the picture I took of our roster. "I suppose that thing knows does it?" "Yeah actually, cos I've got a photo of the roster on here, see, she starts at one". Cracked me up. He hasn't used it again since but it won't be long.

Stopping by 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', the Rachel Berry depicter also recalls moments with her late boyfriend, saying that she felt 'like the luckiest girl in the whole world.'
Five months after Cory Monteith's death, Lea Michele talks about coping with the tragic passing in her first TV interview. Appearing in Thursday, December 12 episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", the "Glee" star said that she was doing well thanks to support from friends and family.
"It's certainly been a pretty rough year, but I've been surrounded by such great people, such great family," Michele admitted. Instead of staying at home, Michele decided to return to work soon so that she could be with people who loved her.
"There's this grief (that) goes with you every day whatever you're doing. When there's great moments, hard moments. So I'd rather, for me, be at work with the people who I love that are going through (it). It obviously has its own triggers, but at the end of the day I feel so safe there," she explained. "I'm just trying to do my best for him because I know that that's what he would have wanted and to just do my best and to you know, hopefully make something positive for where I go in the rest of my life."
Monteith confirmed that he was in relationship with Michele when he appeared on the show in December 2012. When the host Ellen DeGeneres mentioned it, the actress/singer said, "It's one of my favorite memories."
"I remember when he came home that night, he kind of puffed out his chest and he was like, 'I talked about you on 'Ellen' today.' I was so happy. He's such a private person, and I literally lived every day of my life feeling like the luckiest girl in the whole world. I just thought he was the greatest man and so at that moment, that memory, it means so much to me," she added.

Intra-Year Price Instability Of Commercial Crops In India: Exploring The Underlying Dynamism
One serious issue which creates far reaching repercussions in the commercial agriculture sector of India is the heightened instability in price both at the inter-year and intra-year level. An exploration of intra-year price instability, which is rarely addressed in the empirical studies, is attempted in this paper by selecting the case of four major commercial crops of India namely, Small Cardamom, Black Pepper, Natural Rubber and Tea. The study concludes that even in the scenario of integrated market setting price instability at the intra-year level is guided mainly by the seasonal character of supply. Hence, market offers high price to the farmers only when they have less to offer in the market and vice versa, which makes their income unstable in the short run, highlighting the need for stabilizing producers' returns.

Are subdomains in a multisite setup virtual?
Im having issues getting the subdomains working. When I add a new site via the wordpress network administration the site gets created but there are no files associated with the install. So when i go to the dashboard or visit the webiste it doesnt exist.

I guess the ultimate question is does wordpress multisite setup virtual subdomains or are the phyiscal?
If there phyiscal do i need to install a new version of wordpress and somehow tie in multisite to it for each subdomain? or should multisite be creating all the files for me

Beijing (AFP) Nov 10, 2013
Chinese state media on Sunday whipped up expectations for economic reforms from a key Communist Party meeting, but warned changes would be hard to implement.
Chinese leaders on Saturday began a four-day meeting, known as the Third Plenum, to chart the direction of the world's second-biggest economy as it faces a slew of challenges from slowing growth to widespread environmental degradation.
Analysts say China remains committed to economic reform, launched more than three decades ago in the communist country, but the pace slowed under the previous leadership of President Hu Jintao.
China's new leaders, President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang, have in recent days raised expectations for reform but few details have emerged ahead of the secretive meeting.
Economic reforms are on the agenda, officials and state media say, but they have ruled out Western-style political reforms.
In a front page editorial, party mouthpiece the People's Daily praised China's economic reforms in bringing prosperity to the world's most populous country and called for more.
"China needs to deepen reform... opening-up on all fronts in order to forge ahead," it said, but added the country faced an "uphill road" as it seeks to address new challenges.
"In a society with rapid transformation and accumulating contradictions, in a fast-changing world with fierce competition, every step we take towards the peak is a perilous climb that bears risk and even crisis," it said.
Analysts have downplayed concrete measures emerging from the party meeting, which ends Tuesday, as such gatherings tend to unveil general principles rather than concrete policies.
"Expectations that detailed new policies will be unveiled at the upcoming Third Plenum are likely to be disappointed," research firm Capital Economics said in a recent report.
"But the key gauge of success should instead be whether the leadership presents a coherent and comprehensive plan for economic restructuring," it said.
The People's Daily gave a lengthy list for people's "hopes" for the meeting in a separate article but gave few details.
Policies could focus on narrowing the wealth gap and shifting rural residents to the cities, it said.
Although decades of rapid economic growth have created new wealth, the gap with rural residents and the urban poor is cause for alarm, analysts say.
China's Gini coefficient, a measure of inequality with 0 representing total equality and 1 representing total inequality, stood at 0.47 in 2012, according to official statistics. That is close to the 0.40 level deemed by some Chinese economists to be the "danger" line.
Greater urbanisation requires relaxing China's so-called "hukou" household registration system which limits social benefits to a person's original residence, depriving migrant workers of services when they move to find employment.
The People's Daily newspaper also dangled the possibility of a "new round" of reforms to powerful state-owned enterprises.
China moved to shut down or merge loss-making state firms in the late 1990s, leaving a smaller number, but with immense power over large sectors of the economy.
Analysts say China is unlikely to embark on major reforms or privatisation of state firms, though Beijing is seeking to build up the private sector which could create more competition.
"The meeting will set a comprehensive framework for reforms in the next few years, but will unlikely announce a lot of details," UBS economist Wang Tao said, adding a "major breakthrough" in state enterprise reform was unlikely.

Then the international monetary boom and its immediate effects on China transformed the middle class into the nouveau riche.
The nouveau riche of the new Plutocratic type comes thrusting among you, demonstrating that sometimes quite obtrusively.
What I didn't tell you is that we're nouveau riche—no class at all.
We belong to that despised class, 'nouveau riche,' therefore we are extremely short on noted ancestors and relics and things.
But the demi-god has always much of the nouveau riche about him, and a gentleman is, after all, an exquisite product.
Tiglath then begins to boast about his gorgeous new residence with all the vulgarity of a nouveau riche.
One dozen bonbon dishes, five nouveau riche sugar shakers (we never use them), three muffineers—in heaven's name, what's that?
One saw it was not the over-dressing of the nouveau riche, but the rather old-world dandyism of a past generation.
Oh, yes, my muse has been a nouveau riche lady in a Worth gown, my ambition a big red motor-car.
Of course there is the question of social standing—a very important matter with some parents of the "nouveau riche" type.
1813, French, literally "new rich." Opposite noveau pauvre is attested from 1965. Ancient Greek had the same idea in neo-ploutos "newly become rich."
A pejorative term for one who has recently become rich and who spends money conspicuously. From French, meaning "new rich."

Why is InsectAway® referred to as a "system"?
Every component is designed to work together for maximum effect. InsectAway® has several size systems, to accommodate any
size facility. The insecticide won't separate, either in the reservoir or the tubing, so fly-killing consistency is maintained. The pump

Like true adventurers, they glory in life's simplest pleasures and natural wonders. But it is Toad, cocky and irrepressible in his goggles and overcoat, whose passion for motorcars represents the free and fearless spirit in all of us; just as it's Toad's downfall that inspires the others to test Grahame's most precious theme -- the miracle of loyalty and friendship.

Any update?
Sent from BimmerApp mobile app
From what I remember when I had that problem. I started cheep. Try replacing o2 sensors and thermostat. Then re check codes. As far as misfires check the seating on spark plug modules. Recheck codes. If codes for misfire reappear try swapping spark modules to check if codes follow the module. Question when was last spark plug change?
Sent from BimmerApp mobile app
Did you ever solve it? I have the same codes now

UC 320 DHCP handing out bad DNS
I have a UC 320 that is currently assigning the wrong DNS address via DHCP. This happens on both the voice and data networks.
This happens regardless of wether or not the UC320 is set to 'Routes Voice Only' or 'Routes voice and data and is DHCP server' or 'routes voice and data with external DHCP'
Currently I have the 'routes voice and data w/external DHCP server' , when I connect my laptop to the voice network and get an IP address the DNS server is 192.168.100.4, which does not exist. The voice network IP is currently 192.168.1.X/24 with UC320 as .1 .... just to be sure there was not a rouge DHCP server I changed the Voice network IP scheme from 192.168.1.X/24 to 192.168.10.X/24 and verified that I was getting DHCP from the UC320... the mystery DNS server of 192.168.100.4 seems to show up no matter what I do.
UC320 has latest PATCHES.
I can not find anyway to change this. The DHCP settings in the UC320, atleast mine, does not have a DNS server field.
Is it possible to change the DNS server that the UC320 handsout via DHCP ? Please help

Before there were Tour-Paks and travel trunks and hard saddlebags with locking lids, there were only soft saddlebags. You know, bags made from dead cows. They helped make the traveling experience less of a misadventure and more of a convenient way to ride our motorcycles over vast distances. In fact, the term bagger originally was a descriptior for bikes that actually sported leather saddlebags. Baggers were easily identified in crowded parking lots or on the open road, too: just look for the saddlebags slung across their rear fenders.
Today's enthusiasts have their own perceptions of what constitutes a bagger. And while those people contemplate the meaning of bagger, their navels, and life itself, my compadre and co-worker Joe Knezevic (American Iron) and I were curious about the relevancy of soft-bag baggers today. Do they still exist? After surveying the motorcycle landscape, two models emerged from the soft-bag world's primordial ooze: Harley-Davidson's tried-and-true Heritage Softail Classic and Indian's recent entry, the Chief Vintage. And so, like the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Joe and I saddled up to determine which leather-bagged bike suited our tastes. And while there is no silver bullet that we can use to declare a winner, Joe and I aren't bashful about our favorites. You can read Chief Joseph's account of the Indian Chief Vintage on page 78; for now here's my report of why I prefer the Heritage Softail Classic.
Recently, more than a few motorcycle manufacturers have attached the name Classic to various models. Their bikes might be classic in terms of their basic styling, but in truth there is nothing classic about them at all. They're all pretenders relying on a name to establish a presence. Not so with the Heritage Softail Classic, a model introduced in 1986 that paid homage to the original Hydra Glide of 1949. Clearly, the term Heritage befits the FLSTC, a Softail model that's remained in production since the Reagan years, and its legacy grows with each passing day as the Heritage Softail Classic adds to its long-standing heritage. It's truly a classic for the ages. Even the leading motorcycle magazine at the time — that would be Cycle, which met its demise a few years later — acknowledged in the March 1986 issue that the new Heritage Softail was a timeless model. The opening lines to the road test stated: "Only Harley-Davidson could get away with this. The Heritage Classic says that nothing's really ever new, a concept of particular appeal to those companies counting their days since the dawn of motorcycling."
Then, as now, the Heritage Softail was one heck of a long-distance rider — a bagger, if you will. More recently, and in the course of the past 20 years to be more precise, I've taken many a tour on various Heritage Softails, and I've never been disappointed. Even though I prefer to travel light, there's ample storage room in those reinforced soft bags, plus the passenger backrest offers a convenient place to strap additional items like bedrolls and foul-weather gear. Harley's P&A division also offers proprietary luggage racks that adapt onto the backrest to support most highway bags. If you run out of cargo space on a Heritage Softail, chances are you just aren't following the biker's credo of packing light, right, and tight.
Chief Joseph will tell you in his report that he has reservations about sitting behind a windscreen when he rides. However, I find a degree of satisfying solitude when I position myself behind a cone of silence, and the Heritage's clear bug catcher lets me enjoy the view as the road unfolds before me. And get this, Indian Joe: the Heritage's windscreen has Harley's famous detachable mounts so you can flip it off in seconds. And no reservations required, so here's to the wind in your beard and the bugs in your teeth.
But the real pleasure is simply riding the Heritage from point A to point B. I can stretch my arms to the high-rise handlebar so that I remain relaxed and in control, and the footboards position me as if I'm sitting in my favorite easy chair. And then there's the Heritage's chair, or in this case, the seat: someone in Harleyland messed with my favorite seat, reshaping the passenger pad for 2011 so that it gently jabs into my lower back. For years the Heritage Softail's rider/passenger seat combination was among the most comfortable in the Milwaukee lineup, offering a gentle rise that created a small backrest for me. Not so anymore, and the passenger pad on the '11 model dug into the small of my back just enough to annoy me. Note to the Softail crew: go back to the original seat.
While I've got the post-it note pad out, I'll pass along another quick memo to the Softail crew: don't mess with those staggered mufflers, they sound perfect the way they are! I'm not a fan of especially loud exhaust pipes, but it's also nice to hear more than a pathetic wheeze from stock pipes. In the case of the Heritage, its old-school staggered duals produce a burble as a reminder why V-twin engines sound so pleasant, especially while accelerating from a stop.
Everything else about the latest Heritage Softail Classic lives up to its past billing. The fuel-injected 96″ engine serves its power to the 200-series rear tire in smooth doses thanks to the tried-and-proven balance shafts working inside the cases, and the six-speed Cruise Drive transmission snicks effortlessly into each gear. The disc brakes whoa the 730-pound bike without incident or spectacle, and the 5-gallon gas tank is
easily good for 200 miles between stops.
No doubt the Heritage Softail Classic's old-school styling and amenities aren't for everybody, but that's further reason why we have vanilla and chocolate ice cream. If you don't like one flavor, there's always the other to satisfy you. Me? I'll stick with the true Classic. MB
