Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/2/2013 (1646 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
While the term "white elephant" may be a little premature, the time has come for Winnipeggers to take a more critical look at CentrePort.
Four years ago this spring, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and former Manitoba premier Gary Doer announced $212 million in federal-provincial funding to build a road and overpass to serve what may eventually be a 20,000-acre transportation, trade and manufacturing hub.
In 2009, the inland-port idea made sense on paper. Congestion at the Port of Vancouver led a number of landlocked Canadian cities to consider building transportation hubs that would offer manufacturers and distributors easy, low-cost access to rail lines, highways and runways.
Regina went out and completed a new intermodal shipping facility to serve the Saskatchewan capital's Global Transportation Hub, which will also be served by an access road and a Trans-Canada Highway overpass west of the city.
In Winnipeg, CentrePort began making plans for real estate north of Richardson International Airport while crews completed CentrePort Canada Way, the $212-million roadway. CentrePort also began marketing land for industrial and commercial development, with the expectation it would be able to service this land with city water and sewer pipes.
That move was easier said than done, as much of what will eventually become CentrePort sits inside the Rural Municipality of Rosser. A long-held city aversion to extending services outside its borders led Winnipeg to consider simply annexing a corner of Rosser.
After a brief inter-governmental flap, the city and province agreed in 2010 to share the $17-million cost of extending water and sewer pipes to the CentrePort lands. But that has yet to proceed, pending the conclusion of a legal challenge from two northwestern Ontario First Nations, who argue the city has no right to move water from Shoal Lake outside its borders.
That challenge, initially brushed off as groundless by city lawyers, took on a much serious tone when the International Joint Commission wrote the city with a request for information.
Behind the scenes, senior city officials were also skeptical of CentrePort's ability to compete with other trade hubs, fearing the Winnipeg development does not have enough rail-handling capacity. Some tut-tutted about the fact CentrePort went out and marketed lands they do not own, without having servicing or zoning agreements in place.
Even basic drainage issues around CentrePort remain unsettled. Artificial lakes and wetlands, the devices that normally serve as stormwater retention ponds, cannot be built near Richardson Airport because open water attracts geese and ducks, which can bring down planes.
And on a political level, Mayor Sam Katz was annoyed that Doer funnelled so much of Ottawa's infrastructure funding to a project that was not one of his priorities. The devotion of $212 million to CentrePort was one of the factors that led Katz to lose interest in completing the second phase of the Southwest Transitway for almost three years.
All of these long-simmering tensions boiled over on Friday, when the trade hub's CEO accused the city of holding up the development -- and effectively dropped the gloves with city hall.
At a Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce gathering, Diane Gray said CentrePort has been losing business because of the city's inability to complete the servicing agreement.
"We have been turning away -- yes, turning away -- large-scale distributions centres and other significant investors who have been forced to look at other locations because we can't give them a firm timeline on servicing," she said. "Large, anchor-style tenants cannot be built at CentrePort."
Gray's comments are remarkable for a number of reasons. For starters, the city and province have no choice but to wait and see what the International Joint Commission determines before any water pipes can be extended outside Winnipeg's borders. Ignoring the IJC, which has the power to amend the terms of the city's agreement to use Shoal Lake water, would be a fantastically stupid move. The city and province have both been made aware of the consequences of running afoul of an agency set up to mediate international disputes over drainage issues.
"There are many ramifications that could have. They could cancel the order or hand out all kinds of penalties," said Deepak Joshi, the city's chief operating officer, who was in the audience when Gray spoke on Friday but declined to respond to her assertion the city is holding up the development.
"That would probably be unwise," he said. "Let's just say I was surprised at those comments."
Deputy Mayor Russ Wyatt was a lot less diplomatic as he delved into the broader context of the city-CentrePort dispute.
"Diane Gray should be looking at herself and her own team before she starts blaming the city. Every other developer is responsible for servicing and I don't know why CentrePort should be any different," the Transcona councillor said. "They're looking for excuses for their own failures and they're trying to point blame."
In Wyatt's view, CentrePort is little more than "a glorified, government-run industrial park" with a questionable business model.
"The original vision of CentrePort was to create a place for industry at a crossroads for transportation: roads, rail and air. So far, it's close to the airport, they spent $200 million building highways, but they haven't brought in rail at all," he said.
While fighting in public with the city definitely speaks to Gray's frustration, it doesn't mean CentrePort will turn out to be a boondoggle in the long run. There's no doubt the land will eventually be serviced. But it's time for the city's business community to stop cheerleading about the development and begin considering it for what it is: just one piece of the city's long-term economic plans.
Wyatt is correct in criticizing CentrePort for marketing lands without completing the land-assembly work or seeing through the land-use issues any other developer would be forced to shepherd through. And that's on top of failing to ensure services and drainage are in place for future businesses.
In government circles, "white elephant" is an ugly term. But unless CentrePort comes up with a business plan that inspires confidence from its partners at the city, it will forever be known as a $212-million alabaster pachyderm.

"I wanted to make brisket for Memorial Day but had never made it before. So I tried this recipe a week before on a small piece of brisket. My family loved it. So I made 10 lbs. of brisket with this recipe for Memorial Day. Everyone loved it! But I made a few changes to the sauce...I didn't use horseradish. I added about 3 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce and 3 Tbs. Frank's Red Hot Sauce and 1/4 cup apple sauce. I put everything in a blender instead of heating it. Then poured it on the brisket and baked it. It was delicious and will definitely make it again. I also used the sauce to bake chicken breasts in and they came out delicious. Definitely recommend this recipe!"

Of lives and Little Chefs
October 31, 2012
EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado – The last time you saw Shawn Sanders, chances are she was smiling and happy and surrounded by smiling happy children.Sanders loved cooking and made kids love it, too.Sanders, a local chef, launched Little Chefs of Vail, a program that saw her Little Chefs cook an entre from a different country each week. As homework, they took home enough food for dinner for four people.Sanders died earlier this week from multiple injuries suffered in a traffic accident. She left behind dozens of Little Chefs and hundreds of friends and admirers."It was her program, and her loss is tough. We love that Little Chefs program," said Ann Lynch with the Sebastian hotel in Vail.Cooking is classicCooking is like classical music, Sanders was fond of saying. You start with basic ingredients, add a little imagination and you soon realize that it's not what you have, it's how you give it to people. Mozart started like this. So did her Little Chefs.Sanders spent her life setting children on the right path.She was born Sept. 24, 1977 in Nashville, Tenn., the second of nine children.Her mother suffered a stroke when Shawn was about 13, and Shawn basically raised her siblings while her mother recovered and her father ran his toy company.She landed in the Vail Valley about 12 years ago where she lived with her husband Worth Sanders.In 2010 she combined her two passions, children and food, by creating Little Chefs of Vail.Her reasoning was as elegant and classic as her cuisine: You're going to eat your entire life and you're going to cook your entire life. You should enjoy both, Sanders said.Anyone who has ever spent time in a kitchen for anything more than studying the refrigerator door for the pizza delivery number understands that cooking involves all kinds of skills: Math, reading and comprehension, a little chemistry and the clear understanding that if you can read and follow directions you can do anything. Little Chefs learned all that, and also things like how to make their own pasta, starting with fresh ingredients and ending by learning to twirl it properly. For Little Chefs, homework is things like trying a new vegetable. Ketchup does not count no matter what Nancy Reagan says."She basically raised my kids for five years and was like a second a mother to them," said Julie Bergsten, vice president with Slifer, Smith & Frampton Real Estate.Kelly Pope's children are 8 and 10 years old. They'd cook with Shawn for two hours and come home with dinner.Her son Ethan was part of that first group that worked in the Sebastian hotel kitchen."My kids would come home excited about salad," Pope said.Pope met her through a friend at Miller Ranch park where Shawn was playing with some preschool children she was caring for.Pope watched as Shawn broke out homemade curry salad, a broccoli salad and homemade rolls for her youngsters. Pope was flabbergasted when they ate it, liked it and asked for more."She was unbelievable with children and in the kitchen. She blended her passion and was incredibly successful," Pope said.Shawn recruited some of the parents to help her handle the business side of Little Chefs."As I came to know her, I realized she was for real and the kids were all the better for it," Pope said. "She empowered the kids and had an extraordinary way of making them feel special. You'd consider having another kid if you could hire her as your nanny."Staff Writer Randy Wyrick can be reached at 970-748-2935 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Garbage in, garbage out-the axiom is as old as computing itself. But nowhere is it more true than in the realm of spend analysis. That's because without accurate categorization of past spending data, no amount of analysis can yield the information necessary to fully optimize sourcing decisions. That's where Oracle Spend Classification comes in. It is the intelligence based application that improves spend and performance visibility. It is an important component of Oracle Advanced Procurement, the integrated suite that dramatically cuts all supply management costs.
Oracle Sourcing can play a crucial role in driving world class procurement. It works with your E-Business Suite implementation and can be deployed on-premise.
Oracle Spend Classification was created to work seamlessly with Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics, part of the Oracle BI applications suite. Together they enable procurement organizations to gain the holistic view of procurement and supplier performance necessary to drive ongoing improvement.
But it isn't always enough to ensure data quality after the fact, so Oracle Spend Classification is pre-integrated with Oracle iProcurement. This enables procurement organizations to address data quality problems at their source and improve confidence in the accuracy of their systems.

EMERGENCY services recovered three vehicles on the A361 between Tiverton and Wellington, involved in two separate accidents thought to be linked to the weather earlier this evening (Sunday March 2).
Devon and Somerset police received a call at 4.39pm alerting them to the incidents on the eastbound A361 carriageway from Tiverton towards the M5, around 3 miles from Tiverton.
Both accidents, reported to have been between the A361 Bolham Road junction and the A396 Heathcoat Way junction, are thought to have occurred because of the weather.
No one has been injured.
Inspector Graham Thomas of Devon and Cornwall Police said: "It looks like potentially they were linked to the weather.
"It may be that a vehicle has aquaplaned, although we are not sure of the circumstances yet.
"One of the vehicles has gone through the central reservation."
One lane is closed. The fire service has attended to ensure the vehicles involved are safe.

Tell Me About the Creation
The Design in the Protein
Let us now put aside the question of "how the first cell originated" and ask a much easier question: How did the first protein originate? The theory of evolution has no answer to this question either.
Proteins are the building blocks of the cell. If we compare the cell to a huge skyscraper, proteins are the bricks of the skyscraper. However, they do not have a standard form and structure as the bricks do. Even the simplest cells have roughly 2,000 different types of proteins. If cells can survive, it is thanks to the extraordinarily harmonious functioning of these distinct proteins.
Proteins are made up of smaller structures, or molecules, called "amino acids", which are formed by the different combinations made by carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. There are 500-1,000 amino acids in an average protein. Some proteins are much bigger.
The important point is that amino acids have to line up in a certain sequence to form a protein. There are 20 different amino acid types used in living organisms. These amino acids do not combine at random to form proteins. Every protein has a certain amino acid sequence and this sequence must be precisely matched. Even the deficiency or the replacement of a single amino acid renders that protein a useless lump of molecules. For this reason, every amino acid must be just at the right place in the right sequence. The instructions for this sequence are stored in the DNA of the cell and, according to them, the proteins are produced.
The theory of evolution claims that the first proteins formed "by chance". Probabilistic calculations, however, show that this is by no means possible. For instance, the probability of the amino acid sequence of a protein made up of 500 amino acids being in the correct order is 1 in 10950.5 10950 is an incomprehensible figure formed by placing 950 zeros after 1. In mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over 1050 is considered to be almost impossible.
Briefly, even a single protein cannot form by chance. Evolutionists also admit this fact from time to time. For instance, Harold Blum, a famous evolutionist scientist, states that "the spontaneous formation of a polypeptide of the size of the smallest known proteins seems beyond all probability."6
So, what does all this mean? Perry Reeves, a professor of chemistry, gives the answer:

October 30, 2012
GRAND PRAIRE, Texas. -- TMC's time, at the 2012 Northwood Fall Shootout held at the Tangle Ridge Golf Course, concluded today with the Mustangs finishing eight shots off the lead. The Mustangs posted a team score of 872 at the end of the two day event. Texas Wesleyan University (862) barely edged out Cal State San Marcos (863) to take first place.
"I am very proud with how consistently the guys played over the Fall. Each event, a different player stepped up to play well," reports Mustang Golf Coach, Jason Semelsberger.
The Mustangs produced identical results with their last showing at the CSU San Marcos Fall Classic earlier this month. But the fourth place finish was relatively pleasing to Coach Semelsberger. "We placed fourth again, but it was a much bigger and better field in Dallas."
The top scoring leaders for Master's were Thane Ringler (Hutchinson, KS) and Nolan Sand (Hoquiam, WA). Ringler and Sand both shot 1-under totals of 215 over the three round tournament, which tied the duo for 11th place. Not to go without notice, John Lawson (Mobile, AL) tied for 35th with a final score of 222.
After a four month hiatus, the Mustangs will return to the links on February 4th, 2013, as the squad looks to perform even better in the CSU San Marcos Spring Invite. The two day event will be held at the Shadowridge Country Club in Vista CA.
Coach Semelsberger comments on the Fall season, "We didn't quite get over the hump to win, but I am excited for future opportunities in the Spring."

Hottest Hollywood Hairstyles
Protégé of: Andy Lecompte, Sunsilk celebrity hair stylist
Hair history: "I got a really horrible bob nine years ago and just started cutting my own hair with a Gillette razor in my garage."
What she's learned from Lecompte: "The man is like a hair encyclopedia. He taught me how to really set hair, and a lot of stylists don't do that anymore—they think it's outdated. He's great at mixing old-school beauty techniques with trends. The Madonna winged bangs—he definitely brought those back."
Desert-island product: Davines Love Conditioner—"I could eat that stuff, it's so good."
"Jen has worked with me for two years, and it's been really great to see her go on and become and artist on her own," says Lecompte. "My philosophy is that hair is always changing, and you can always continue to learn and grow. I encourage my assistants to work with other stylists, not just me, so they can learn different things and develop a style of their own."

Witch Hunt? Artist of Kate Middleton's Questionable Portrait Responds to Critics
Paul Emsley, the artist who painted Kate Middleton's lambasted official portrait, responds to his critics. Is there a witch hunt at work here?
-Lucia Peters
Did you catch the unveiling of the first official, royal portrait of Kate Middleton, aka the Duchess of Cambridge two weeks ago, Bettys? No? Well, as you can see here, it's… a little underwhelming. Sure, Kate herself may have described the portrait, which currently hangs in London's National Portrait Gallery, as "amazing," but she would kind of HAVE to say nice things about it, no? Public responses, on the other hand, ranged from looking on the bright side (ABC News' royal contributor, Victoria Arbiter: "All of the die-hard Kate fans are up in arms over the criticism when, actually, I think they should be seeing it as more of a compliment toward Kate, because the general consensus seems to be that Kate is much prettier in real life") to the harshest critiques imaginable (Social columnist and author Shinan Govani: "GHASTLY: the new Kate portrait. Has turned her into a thrice-divorced senior VP who reads Fifty Shades of Grey and is mean to bus drivers"), and we can't really say we blame them.
But what does the artist himself think about the portrait—and its criticisms? He's a little hurt. A lot hurt, actually. So hurt that he feels like he's the victim of a witch hunt.

According to Vogue UK, Paul Emsley, who met with the Duchess several times before painting the portrait from a series of photographs taken of her, has started to hit back against his critics. "Some of the words written about [the portrait] were so personal," he said. "I'd be inhuman if I said it didn't affect me. When you take on commissions like this it is hazardous and you expect a bit of flak, but I expected nothing like the criticisms I have received. I didn't expect it to go to the levels it did."
So how exactly does the whole "witch hunt" thing fit into it? Continued Paul, "It felt like a bit of a witch hunt and people who have not even seen my portrait joined in with what quickly became a circus. The worst thing is that it was not only desctructive to me, but particularly upsetting for my two daughters and my wife."
Of course, it's possible that for those of us who aren't able to visit the portrait in person, the painting simply photographs poorly; it's hard to judge something you haven't actually seen. Personally? I still think it's a little weird-looking. Then again, I'm not really a painted portrait kind of person—I much prefer a well-shot photograph—so maybe that's just me.
In the meantime, Paul is trying to get back in the saddle again. "At first the attacks were so vicious that there was a point where I myself doubted that the portrait of the Duchess was any good," he said. "But now I've had time to reflect, I am still happy with it and am getting on with my life. There is nothing I would have changed."
Tell us: What do you think of the Duchess' portrait?

Aiden Starr
Categories: Facial, Blonde, Petite, Blowjob, Tittyfuck, Deepthroat, Fetish, Ball Licking, POV, Tattooed
If you caught our exclusive interview with petite cutie Aiden Starr on XXXPillowTalk yesterday, then you know this girl is all about sex and passion. At only 4'11\' and 90 lbs, this green eyed tattooed sex kitten may be small in size, but she has a massive sexual appetite! She starts off by showing off her gorgeous natural tits that are a perfect handful and then we get to see her nice legs and ass as she eagerly bends over to give a better view and strips down to her pink high heels. Then we give her a test with a dildo to see just how much dick can be fit into that small mouth before she's eagerly down on her knees for the real thing. She starts off easy-showing off some impressive blowjob and ball sucking skills (she has a major fetish for sucking balls), getting those nice titties fucked, and then she really goes for it, shoving as much hard cock into that tiny mouth as she can at once. What she might lack in depth she more than compensates for with enthusiasm. This is another babe who loves to suck dick, getting so turned on doing it she starts rubbing her clit. By the end she's eagerly waiting for the giant load of cum she gets in her mouth and lets drip down where she rubs it into those perfect tits!

Air Force OneTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
The President of the United States is flying on a private plane to Andrews Air Force Base to jump on his jumbo jet to fly to California. Currently the speed of the plane he is in is traveling at 250 nautical MPH and he is currently 500 nautical miles from Andrews Air Force Base. It will take approximately 5 mins for him to switch planes and 5 mins to gain clearance for takeoff. Taking all of this into consideration. How long will it take for The President of The United States to be airborne aboard Air Force One?
AnswerNo time at all.
He is currently aboard "Air Force One". No matter what plane The President of the United States is aboard, its call sign is "Air Force One." So The President is on "Air Force One" even when aboard the private plane and once he switches to the jumbo jet then it becomes "Air Force One".

A STREET artist has used Accrington and Rossendale College as his latest canvas.
Aroe, a member of LA's prestigious MSK graffiti crew and Europe's finest HA (Heavy Artillery) Crew, has had his work shown all across the globe from New York to Milan and Dubai to Hollywood and has a huge following on both sides of the Atlantic.
The artist yesterday took time out of his busy schedule to produce an iconic piece for the college – on the outside of its Accrington campus.
Tamsin Deasey from the college said: "Aroe is a world-renowned graffiti artist who creates real masterpieces and his work is internationally recognised.
"He has worked with clients ranging from Disney to Playstation and he was recently featured in Rolling Stone magazine. We are privileged that such a huge artist has come to our Accrington campus to create a permanent work of art that not just our students, but also the local community can enjoy.
"The large scale artwork, which needed scaffolding erected to complete, is positioned on the exterior of the college building so that we are not confining who can enjoy it.
"Our students are absolutely thrilled to get the chance to see a master at work and we have a whole host of students ranging from painting and decorating to media and design who will learn from watching him at work.
"We realise that this is very unique to have such a huge named graffiti artist placing his artwork on an educational institution but we believe strongly that this is an excellent place for it.
"We believe in being innovative in order to create a passion in our students and give them the best learning experience that they can."
Aroe was at Accrington and Rossendale College's Broad Oak Campus, Accrington, for four hours.
College principal, Lynda Mason, said: "It was made clear throughout, that Accrington and Rossendale College does not condone illegal graffiti in any way, but does welcome the skills, knowledge and creative abilities of the true artist at their work."

AN excellent performance throughout the day just wasn't enough to see Bridgwater over the line at the ECB National Indoor Finals day at Lords.In their Semi Final, Bridgwater beat the powerful pre-tournament favourites Broadstairs CC from Kent, scoring 147-5 after being inserted.
Andy Hallaran (42) Josh Vickery (27no) and Ian Higgins (21) were the main scorers, before a solid bowling and fielding display saw their opponents bowled out for 128 and a 19-run win.
In the National Final, between the two teams left from the 856 who had entered the competition, high-scoring South Yorkshire side Dearne CC chose to bat, but a terrific bowling and fielding display from Bridgwater, restricted their opposition to 120-5 - with outstanding efforts from Chris Skidmore (1-19) and Higgins (1-21).
Unfortunately for Bridgwater, catastrophe struck in the first over as the inform Hallaran was stumped off a leg side wide for no score.
Stuart Butt (32) and Vickery cautiously rebuilt the innings aided by Ed Habberfield, against the lively and very accurate Dearne attack - but with 40 required off the last three overs, something special was required.
This was provided by Skidmore as he smashed his way to 27 before having to retire, to the delight of the Dearne team.
Despite three runs a ball from Higgins (16no) and the returning Butt, this caused the innings to lose momentum as requiring 18 to win off the last over the pair could only muster 12 in the face of the excellent Graham Batty, leaving Dearne five-run winners in what had been a tense but exciting Final between two outstanding teams.
## Thanks to 7th man Mitch Windsor and Scorer Mike Moran for their efforts on the day.

Ex-banker gets 41 months for raiding $133,000 from customers
Updated 10:20 pm, Thursday, April 4, 2013
A former Wells Fargo Bank employee was sentenced Thursday to 41 months in federal prison for his part in raiding more than $133,000 from customers' accounts.
Rogelio Rodriguez, a personal banker, apologized for his role in the fraud at the bank's Las Palmas branch on the West Side.
He and two other then-employees, including ringleader Yadira M. Ybarra, stole the money between April and July 2009 — though they tried to get $225,680 before the theft was discovered.
"If I knew what was going on, I wouldn't have done it," Rodriguez told U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia. "I trusted someone I shouldn't have."
News Channel
Garcia postponed Thursday's sentencing for Ybarra, who also faces sentencing for her role in an unrelated case in which she admitted trying to buy machine guns.
Last year, the judge sentenced three accomplices, a bank employee and two nonemployees, to prison terms of up to 33 months.
Ybarra and Rodriguez forged signatures of account holders on withdrawal slips and used the customers' identifying information to withdraw money from their accounts.
In some cases, deposits were diverted from business customers into the accounts the defendants created.
Separately, Ybarra also pleaded guilty to possessing a machine gun.
She admitted she was caught in a Sears parking lot in San Antonio trying to buy four machine guns and six assault rifles from people she thought were gun traffickers. The March 2011 deal turned out to be a sting operation by agents with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

August 27, 2012
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – Stellar play on part of the Lady Mustangs Volleyball squad lifted their record to 6-0 in a non-conference match against the Golden Eagles of La Sierra University (4-2).
Leading the shellacking of the Golden Eagles was Mustang outside hitter Sam Dougherty (Madera, CA). Dougherty notched nine kills and finished the night with a .471 hitting percentage. Not to be overlooked was TMC's libero Rebecca Peluffo (La Crescenta, CA). The standout junior finished the night with a team high 18 digs. Finally, setter Alyssa Gergins (Murrieta, CA) claimed 27 assists in the Mustangs 3-0 route of the Eagles.
Avoiding a rough start to the day, the Lady Mustangs pulled out of a 5-5 tie and managed to take the first set by the reigns. Maintaining at least a two point lead the majority of the game, the Mustangs clipped the Eagles wings at 25-23 and sealed the set with a decisive kill by Tori Callihan (Simi Valley, CA). Callihan chipped in five kills and a two assists in the Mustangs victory.
Set two was all TMC as the Lady Mustangs dominated the Golden Eagles at 25-12. The Mustangs second set boasted a collective 16 kills, one error, and a .500 hitting percentage.
The evening's third and final set saw more fight from La Sierra as they looked to tally their third consecutive win of the season. TMC gave little help to the Eagles' aspirations as the Mustangs stampeded out of the gates and never let up. TMC concluded the night and took the third set at 25-19.
"I was very happy with Sam Dougherty's performance today" states Mustang head Coach Bobby Blanken. "She's becoming a strong centerpiece for our offense, and her hitting percentage from tonight is a telltale sign that she's been making serious progress.
Further commending the Mustangs performance, third-year head coach Bobby Blanken states "Our middles were also key in tonight's victory as they were clicking and being able to make some great passes and blocks. The way they are playing now, they'll be tough to stop later in the season."
Blanken and his 6-0 Mustangs will face their next onslaught of challenges as TMC's Volleyball squad travels to Irvine to participate in the 2012 Concordia Tournament. The Mustangs are scheduled to play Westminster (UT) at 12:00 pm on Friday, August 31st.

The Great American (Bookstore) Road TripJune 20, 2013 • 4 Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog, The Lucky Tour '13
Hello to all you Algonquinites, and welcome to the best type of road trip in America—a bookstore road trip.
My name is David Bradley, former Algonquin intern, bookophile, and blogger. And now I'm taking the coolest road trip this side of the Mississippi. And the other side of the Mississippi, too. I'm crossing the country to see the sights, meet the people, and, most important, visit as many great bookstores as possible. I had 33 on my initial list and have already added a few more.
Other than books, I also enjoy planning camping trips that eventually get rained out, using beautiful calligraphy pens to write in an ugly, cramped style, and having obnoxiously long monkey-arms. But I'm a little bit shy so I won't be talking about myself much more than that.
Instead, I'll be talking about the bookstores I visit and my dear companion, Lucky the Leprechaun. Gifted to an Algonquin employee as a gag Christmas present, Lucky has survived countless attempts of abandonment (and one lost foot) and holds a dear place in the hearts of the Algonquin staff. His perseverance is finally being rewarded, as this equality-loving leprechaun is getting a chance to stretch his stiff legs and see what books are like in the rest of the country.
So, put on your booking hats and join us for a serious summer journey!

O'Reilly misled with gay marriage poll; distorted Mass. ruling
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
During his July 12 radio show, FOX News Channel host Bill O'Reilly suggested that American public opinion favors a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Yet polls indicate just the opposite. On the following day's edition of his FOX News Channel program, O'Reilly distorted the legal reasoning behind Massachusetts Supreme Court's majority opinion in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health -- the ruling that legalized gay marriage in that state -- and contradicted his guest when the guest tried to tell the truth.
On the July 12 broadcast of The Radio Factor, O'Reilly cited a poll and said that "66 percent [of Americans] are against gay marriage"; he continued, "[W]hat you have in the Senate is a third of the senators being Far Left people, who are not going to vote based upon what their constituents want, but what they think [is] going to get them reelected."
But contrary to O'Reilly's suggestion that "Far Left" Senators are thwarting the will of the people, polls show that while the public largely opposes gay marriage -- as the poll O'Reilly cited suggests -- the public also largely opposes amending the constitution in order to ban it. A survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania from late June indicates that 48 percent of Americans oppose a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, while only 43 percent are in favor. An ABC News/Washington Post poll (pdf) from early March showed 53 percent in favor of letting states decide the question, compared with 44 percent in favor of an amendment. Other polls (NationalJournal.com subscription required) show similar results.
On the July 13 edition of FOX News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor, in a discussion with Evan Wolfson -- executive director of Freedom to Marry and author of the new book Why Marriage Matters: America, Equality, and Gay People's Right to Marry -- O'Reilly distorted the Massachusetts Supreme Court's majority opinion in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, claiming the court had exploited a technical loophole in its zealous determination to legalize gay marriage. Wolfson corrected him, explaining that, on the contrary, the court had struck down the gay marriage ban based on substantive provisions of the Massachusetts Constitution:
O'REILLY: Does it bother you at all, Mr. Wolfson, as an American citizen that in the state of Massachusetts, the activist judges there found a loophole. [...] In Massachusetts, they ruled that gay marriage was legal because the Supreme Court there found a loophole which said the legislature did not define marriage between a man and a woman.
WOLFSON: No, no, that's not correct.
O'REILLY: Yes, it is.
WOLFSON: No, please, it isn't. That is my area of expertise, and what they did say was that the constitution requires that when government discriminates, it has to show a reason. And they looked at all the reasons that the state put forward. And they found that not one stood up. The government is not able to show a reason. And...
O'REILLY: Yes. Yes, that may be your interpretation, but the ruling came down -- I think it was four to three ... that gay marriage was OK because the legislature in the Commonwealth did not specifically ban it.
WOLFSON: No...
O'REILLY: That's the fact.
WOLFSON: Well, no, that's not the fact.
Nothing resembling O'Reilly's description of the ruling actually appears in the court's decision. The accompanying synopsis by the court's "Reporter of Decisions" matches Wolfson's "interpretation" exactly:
[T]he court observed that the Massachusetts Constitution "affirms the dignity and equality of all individuals," and "forbids the creation of second-class citizens." ... The Commonwealth, the court ruled, "has failed to identify any constitutionality adequate reason for denying civil marriage to same-sex couples."
Contrary to O'Reilly's claim that the court's majority based its decision on the Massachusetts legislature's failure to "define marriage between a man and a woman," the court explicitly rejected the state's argument that the legislature's own definition of marriage superseded the authority of the court:
It has been argued that, due to the State's strong interest in the institution of marriage as a stabilizing social structure, only the Legislature can control and define its boundaries. ... These arguments miss the point.

Greatest Hits
The Beach Boys (EMI)
Contents: The training wheels version of the definitive American pop group who boasted a fragile genius songwriter in Brian Wilson and the LA personalities to ruthlessly exploit him. Rightly heavy on the band's 1960s output, which builds from surf and hot-rod tunes (Surfer Girl) to glorious analog symphonies (God Only Knows); it loses half a star for including 1988's nightmarish hit Kokomo.
New material: None, although the band, complete with Brian Wilson, actually did put out a new album of sorts (some of the tracks were dug up from the vaults) this year with That's Why God Made the Radio.
Unanswered question: When will someone release the Beach Boys Greatest Writs, a collection of the best lawsuits from a group whose members, notably the vindictively controlling Mike Love, have readily pursued legal action against each other?
The Rolling Stones (EMI)
Contents: A two-disc, 40-track recap of the British group that between 1969 and 1972 actually was the greatest rock'n'roll band in the world. A 50-year narrative starts with spotty blues bravado (Little Red Rooster), articulates teen angst (Paint It, Black), gets heavy (Gimme Shelter), gets doomed (Angie), and then slowly gets old. The latter years have their moments, including Miss You, but Harlem Shuffle remains the worst Stones single by a decent margin.
New material: Two unreleased tracks close the record: the feisty guitars and elongated vocal sneer of Doom and Gloom, and the laid-back One More Shot, complete with Johnnie Johnson-like piano. In other words, the former is Mick Jagger, the latter is Keith Richards.
Unanswered question: If the perpetually preening Mick Jagger has been knighted, why isn't unflappable drummer Charlie Watts at least a duke?
The Seekers (EMI)
Contents: Another band celebrating 50 years - in a Mad Men-like moment, singer Judith Durham met double bassist Athol Guy on her first day of work at a Melbourne advertising agency in 1962 - that took them from local coffee bars to lasting international success flying the folk-pop flag. The 50 tracks include Georgy Girl, the mournful lament that is The Carnival is Over and, yes, a version of Kumbaya, while ignoring the line-ups and decades when Durham was absent.
New material: A pair of songs recorded earlier this year, starting with the brisk banjo and harmonies melody of Silver Threads and Golden Needles and concluding with a misjudged cover of the Beatles' In My Life.
Unanswered question: What other Australian group has evoked Irish folk ballads (The Leaving of Liverpool), recorded a gospel protest song (We Shall Not Be Moved) and covered Bob Dylan (Don't Think Twice, It's All Right)?
Yothu Yindi (Liberation)
Contents: Released to coincide with the Arnhem Land band's recent induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame, Healing Stone is a 17-track compilation from a group who achieved breakthrough success with dance remixes of two tracks - Treaty and Djapana - in the early 1990s, but also pursued roots rock (Mainstream), affecting pop (Dots on the Shell) and indigenous-electronic crossovers (Timeless Land).
New material: The first new music from Yothu Yindi in 12 years, the impressive title track is a weathered mix of traditional instrumentation, melancholic guitar rock and pointed lyrics written by singer Mandawuy Yunupingu, who suffers from End Stage Renal Disease, and INXS's Andrew Farriss.
Unanswered question: Did anyone foresee that the band's sometimes keyboardist and guitarist Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu would go on to be a crucial Australian solo artist?
Fleetwood Mac (Warner)
Contents: A four-CD box set that marks the career of the quintessential Californian band, in that they started as a British blues group fronted by Peter Green and mutated with the addition of American members into chart-topping juggernauts in the second half of the 1970s thanks to the melodic fury of Lindsey Buckingham (Go Your Own Way) and the otherworldly incantations of Stevie Nicks (Rhiannon). The exhaustive 72-track selection covers everything, giving voice to inter-band affairs, drug abuse and drummer Mick Fleetwood's signature beard.
New material: None - The Chain is actually a 20th-anniversary reissue of a 1992 release, which means it thankfully avoids the latter reunions and albums.
Unanswered question: Of Fleetwood Mac's many, many hits, why does Gold 104.3 insist on religiously playing Tusk every day? A little Landslide wouldn't hurt.
Bee Gees (Warner)
Contents: The 2010 box set documenting the career of the Gibb brothers gets the 50th anniversary treatment, reappearing with 81 tracks - both hits and rarities - across four CDs. Each disc represents a brother, including Bee Gees Barry, Robin and Maurice and younger brother Andy, a fallen pop star, and they traverse 1960s pop (Massachusetts), 1970s disco (Night Fever), easy listening (You Win Again) and the eternal power of harmonies (How Deep is Your Love)
New material: Maurice's CD, selected by his wife Yvonne following his death in 2003, includes two minor numbers from 1970, while Andy's final song, 1988's unreleased Arrow Through the Heart, is a sleek '80s studio production that might have given him a comeback if hadn't died at the age of 30 from complications following years of drug abuse.
Unanswered question: Would the world have paid more attention to the songs of the Gibb brothers if they'd stayed fixed in one genre, instead of proving to be chameleon-like composers?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida led the national challenge of the Affordable Care Act, and on Friday, state lawmakers were asked to seek a delay in implementing federal health care laws because the state isn't ready yet.
Supporters of the new law say not being ready was a political decision.
In October 2010, legislative leaders sent a letter to then-Gov. Charlie Crist ordering him to put the brakes on any implementation of the Patient Protection Act. Three months and a new governor later, Gov. Rick Scott refused millions in federal money to begin setting up health exchanges. Scott believed the law would be thrown out and if it weren't, he made this promise:
"The state won't be caught flat-footed. We'll be ready," Scott said Feb. 1, 2011.
State lawmakers were told Friday the state is nowhere near ready.
"Were you all aware that if you did nothing we would be in such a bind to make the deadlines?" said Rep. Perry Thurston, House Democratic leader.
The Legislature is being asked to seek a delay in implementing the law. Supporters of the act question why?
"Because there was a philosophy and ideology that this shouldn't be a law even though it was the law," said Rep. Dwight Dudley, R-St. Petersburg. "We don't have contingency plan."
Paulette Wilson, 61, drove from Miami to beg for coverage now.
"With the economy going down is just, I had to choose whether or not to have insurance or to live," Wilson said.
Dozens of provisions of Florida law need to be changed so that insurers can comply with federal law and still write policies in Florida.
If lawmakers don't make changes by April, they'll likely find themselves back in federal court on the losing end of another battle over health care.
Most federal money that was available for setting up federally mandated heath exchanges is no longer available. Most provisions of the new law take effect Jan. 1.

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
Volume was so low yesterday that you would have thought it was still a holiday. There was plenty of data to digest throughout the day, it should have encouraged trading; maybe traders were waiting to see the dairy products report?
The largely weaker GDT results did little to squelch the Class III price rally which initially was supported by a swift bounce in corn prices so far this week. In the later parts of the morning, milk futures were supported by emotion. Some market participants were encouraged on the bullish side by a load of block cheese trading — and another barrel bid — citing market support rather than the fact blocks have fallen for two days in a row. Still, volume on which milk futures rallied (less than 900 trades) left much to be desired and frankly weakens today's rally. We look for opposing price action soon, although it might just be a bit too early to fade this rally.
The Dairy Products report was a mixed report, with big percentage swings in inventory levels, though in our opinion mostly bearish for the major products cheese, butter and NFDM.
Dairy Production Highlights, May 2011:
American cheese production, 371.16 million pounds, down -0.10%
Mozzarella cheese production, 308.95 million pounds, up 5.10%
Butter production, 155.95 million pounds, up 18.30%
Nonfat dry milk production, 147.67 million pounds, down -4.60%
Skim milk powders production, 35.67 million pounds, up 108.00%
Milk protein concentrate production, 9.32 million pounds, down -26.90%
Dry whey total production, 91.53 million pounds, down -6.10%
WPC total production, 36.61 million pounds, down -0.50%
Lactose production, 86.00 million pounds, up 13.40%
Inventory Highlights, May 2011:
Nonfat dry milk inventory, 166.17 million pounds, up 10.90%
Dry buttermilk inventory, 17.69 million pounds, up 4.80%
Dry whole milk inventory, 7.70 million pounds, down -13.50%
Dry whey inventory, 50.68 million pounds, down -10.10%
Lactose inventory, 73.50 million pounds, down -3.20%
WPC total inventory, 31.77 million pounds, down -1.90%
Our more detailed breakdown of this report is as follows:
- Butter—neutral. Butter production in May was 155.9 million pounds, up 18.3% from a year ago but down 5.0% from April 2011(on a daily average basis). This estimate was right in line with our expectations, so we don't foresee much impact as a result.
- Cheese—bearish. May American cheese production was 371.2 million pounds, down 0.1% from a year ago; Mozzarella cheese production in May was 308.9 million pounds, up 5.1% from a year ago a continued trend of stronger production vs. year ago levels. Both American and other cheese production levels came in above our estimates for May and total cheese production was up 3.9% from a year ago.
- Nonfat dry milk— bearish. Nonfat production in May was 147.7 million pounds, down 4.6% from a year ago and well below our expectations. However, production of skim milk powders was 35.7 million pounds, up 108.0%. Manufacturer's stocks at the end of May were sharply higher despite production being lower than our estimate. At the end of May 166.1 million pounds were in storage an 11.7% increase over year ago levels and up 10.9% from April. When stocks see that sizable of a jump, we see little choice but to interrupt it as bearish.
- Dry whey—bullish. Total whey production came in at 91.5 million pounds as more product went into WPC and Lactose during the month of May. Production was up 2.6% from year-ago levels, but down 3.8% from April on a daily average basis. Manufacturer's stocks declined during the month as well falling to 50.7 million pounds down 6.1% from year ago levels and down 10.1% from last month. Though stocks were down sharply, most of the decline was from the lower-quality animal product, which may be an indication of higher feeding with grain prices having been very high. Human product stocks were also down 9.3% from April, as well, so in the opposite move of NFDM we have little choice but to call this bullish with the large stocks decrease.
In the grain markets, the wicked swings continued as grains mostly held or added onto their overnight gains during Tuesday's session. It looked like the strength may fade early, but by the end of the day strong cash markets and a lack of deliveries had pulled July corn up 39.75 cents and new crop tagged along for 15.75 cent gains trading to 612.50. Beans picked up 5.5 cents in November and wheat prices were sharply higher, led by Minneapolis up 28.5 cents, while KC gained 14.75 and Chicago was up 20.75.
This morning, we look for corn to open 4 to 6 cents lower and for beans to open 8 to 11 lower.
Daily CME spot market prices:
Block cheese: $2.1225 (down 0.25 cent)
Barrel cheese: $2.1025 (up 0.5 cent)
Butter: $2.04 (unchanged)
Grade A NFDM: $1.625 (unchanged)

Stars drop nail-biter to Monarchs
Saturday, Jul 05, 2014 06:00 am
The St. Albert Stars lost a hard-fought 21-16 battle to the Fort McMurray Monarchs in an exciting back-and-forth tilt in the Alberta Football League last Saturday.
The Stars found themselves in trouble early in the Monarchs� stadium after giving up the ball on their own 13-yard line.
The Monarchs took advantage of the mistake and drove in for an early touchdown.
The Monarchs poured it on in the first half, blocking a punt and running the ball in for another touchdown before the break.
At the start of the second half the Monarchs were up 14-1 and seemed to be in control.
The break was just what the Stars needed to regroup.
They came out in the third quarter and pushed the Monarchs back into their own zone.
Early in the second half the Stars� Devin Guedo picked off a Monarch pass and ran it 25 yards for the touchdown.
The Monarchs responded quickly by marching down the field and getting seven points of their own, ending the quarter with a 21-9 lead.
The scoring kept going when Taylor Simmons caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from Troy Pappas to bring the Stars within five.
In the final minute of play the Stars reached the Monarchs� 30-yard line and threw a Hail Mary pass that looked like the game winner.
The Monarchs� defence picked off the ball in the air and sealed the win in this nail-biter.
On July 12 the St. Albert Stars will travel to Lloydminster to take on the Vandals.
The Stars will be returning to St. Albert and Riel Field for a tilt against the Grande Prairie Drillers on July 19. Kickoff is at 2 p.m.

I am working on a one page scrolling layout. I am having difficulty with two items:
1> adding a top margin for the main logo #img-home
2> how to do I get the viewable area of the layout to fit the browser size? I may not be asking this correctly but I do not want another page/section overlapping. Currently the about section is coming into the home section in the viewable area.
This thread should be a continuation of the thread that you started yesterday:http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?1139568-CSS-3-Layout-Fixes-Help-Pleaseand not a new thread. Please do not start new threads about the same topic. Just add a post to the existing thread. In that way, the record of progress will be continuous.
I cannot see (or understand) the issues that you are describing.
How do you want the page to look with a margin or padding above the main logo image? Perhaps an annotated screen shot would help.
The "sections" seem to be very visually separated in Firefox. Are you seeing the problem with overlapping content in a particular browser? Again, an annotated screen shot might help.
You have a typo in this rule:
#img-home {
margin-top 5em;
Can you spot it?
margin-top: 5em;
I assume you mean that on tall monitors your next section is visible below the current section due to the vertical scroll effect you have implemented?
It would seem to me that you just need to make sure that each section is far enough away from the one above so that it does not become visible.
As an aside I don't like these vertical scroll effects for main site navigation unless its for something obvious (like a long list of things such as an faq). I looked at your page and the first thing I noticed was the vertical scrollbar on the right so I started using that to scroll and see the content and for a while was confused abut the site as it seemed odd. Eventually I realised that the links in the top main nav didn't go to another page but scrolled to items on the same page. I'm a firm believer in not trying to confuse customers and these one page vertical scrolls are in my mind too confusing. But that may just be my old age showing
Sorry about that. I was loosing sleep and tired.
I have tried to fix the issue so I hope the reason you are not seeing it is because I did something right. When the browser window is resized one section with had three boxes. Two are floated left and the third one is clear. They still wrap but the layout below does not stay under the third box and instead the layout below overlaps over the boxes. I have attached a screenshot.
Try remmoving that height on line 606:
.slide {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 99%;
padding: 120px 0;
padding: 12rem 0;
height: 40rem;
That seemed to have worked. Thank you.

I think that Tsunades Presumed Lightning Element should be claryfied. I was so confused but then I remembered her attack on Kabuto's Nervous System. If that's where your getting it from, it should be more clear. It is not mentioned anywhere in the article. Check it out for yourself. SaitoAsuhara (talk) 06:30, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

I always tell my wonderful husband to be careful what he wishes for.
I remember when he said he could not wait for our son to say 'Daddy' and now he can say it, over and over again.
I have to laugh watching Michael get exasperated hearing his name shouted out.
Then, the other night, we were sitting on the couch having a chinwag, when he said he could not wait for the time our son would jump in our bed, cuddle up and fall asleep.
Well, it was as if my son knew I had a column to write and could do with some content. At 10 minutes to six this morning, I heard a little yelp, then a toddler scurried across the landing, calling out for Daddy.
Unfortunately, Michael was out on his bike, and luckily I was awake catching up on paperwork, so I could quickly remove him out of earshot of my sleeping daughter.
So we now have a leapfrog in the house and soon he will be pushing us out of our own bed. Thanks Michael.
Also this week, my son has started exploring all corners of the house, including our roof. One rather boozy Halloween night, back when children were something other people had, Michael and I found a massive polystyrene skull and brought it home.
Now, said skull has been discovered in the loft by my son.
It has now been named Monster. Monster has been to Sainsbury's, the park, sits with us for breakfast, lunch and dinner, eating what has been prepared.
Monster has been living the good life considering he looks like he has had a tough one.
So now we are a family of five and it is going well.
I should be careful what I wish for.

Chocolate / Wine Pairings
No products were found matching your selection.
No products were found matching your selection.
"Best cold chocolate in Seattle."
— Beckett M, Seattle
Hands down – best hot chocolate I've ever had!! And what a fantastic little shop, very eclectic, with a little bit of everything from tea cups to gummy candies. There is an old brass cash register as well as other old art work that adds lush character to the shore. Along with the sweet smell of the brewing chocolate, you can't help but feel as though you're being whisked away to another time. A sweeter time…
And what an enjoyable time it is!!
— Angella H, via Yelp
"Yummy drinkable chocolate and super gifts."
— Paula K, Seattle
I found your company through a friend who introduced me to your delicious chocolate.
— Anna T, Mt Vernon WA
Gem of a chocolate shop. Good chocolate bars. Real liquid chocolate, not the chocolate scented milk other places serve. Nice wine, teas, coffee and treats to choose from. We will be back.
Amana K, San Francisco (via Yelp)
Wonderful chocolates and education on them (admittedly the drinking chocolate is just not my thing, my friends loved it). Real passion to bring the best. We enjoyed a chocolate and wine pairing that was delish. Worth a visit.
— Gretchen M, Seattle, via Yelp
"The shop owner greeted us at the door, and was so nice and conversational that I wanted to pull a chair up to the retail counter and settle in for a chat. Surrounded by local, regional, and international treats from the finest confectioners, beautiful furniture (tables and counters made by the proprietor's husband, a couple of cool vintage estate pieces that are also for sale), and with a free sample of her sipping cocoa in hand, I merrily perused the offerings, trying to pick only a few. The hardest part was NOT finding something to buy. It was trying to decide what I had to leave behind. Not only did I find some gorgeous labels and wonderful chocolates for me, but I also bought a few as gifts. Now, if only I had room for that chair in my place…I'm looking forward to coming back for another chat and some more delectables."
— Vanessa J, Seattle (via Yelp)
They make the BEST drinking chocolate (European Classic) I have ever had. Seriously, it will basically ruin all other hot/drinking chocolates for you, which is a grand and marvelous delight. Their Euro Classic is like drinking heavenly rich Chocolate goodness. The staff and owners are super friendly and the entire store has a surprising vibe to it with 1/2 selling chocolate and the other half selling various unique household knickknacks and decor items. Can't wait to go back for my pantry resupply of Euro Classic.
— Jeff A, via Yelp
The coffee there is really good. I like the Americano the best. The also have re-purposed furniture that is eclectic and retro looking decor. The person who runs the place seems to know a lot about chocolate and coffee. I will be back for sure.
— Audrey W, via Google+
This place has the best espresso, drinking chocolates and sweets! We always stop here when we are in town and we can't get enough of the great decor, tasty drinks and snacks! They have great furniture and artwork from local artists for sale too. We just went into today and they now have a luncheonette menu. The sandwiches were delicious! Janet, the owner, is fantastic and passionate about everything she has in the shop so you know you are getting only the best!
— B.H., via Yelp
"Thanks for making such GREAT drinking chocolate! I have a cup every morning."
–Peggy F, Tequesta FL
"This isn't your usual Chocolate Shop. I loved it the moment I walked through the door. Janet, the owner, is a savvy chocolatier, an artist, and has created (along with her husband) a very charming place.
"While we chatted I had a wonderful cup of Venezuelan Dark sipping chocolate and we shared a great conversation and passion for re-purposing. Not only is there great European chocolate drinks they have a nice assortment of chocolates by Theo, Dick Taylor, and Dolceria Bonajuto, Sicily, and coffee by Velton's."
–Rene F, Seattle WA (from Yelp)
Hands down the best drinking chocolate in town. Drinking chocolate is my vice so I'm very demanding! and I tried dozens of places in Seattle and the Eastside, I'm now a regular at Chocolat Vitale and there isn't one of my friends who tried it who wasn't impressed. Janet, the owner, also makes the place very welcoming, she has great creative flair for decorating so there is always something new…this place is a jewel in Seattle…
— Luz J, via Facebook
We live just up the street, and have passed this place many times. We finally decided to walk down and check it out. Janet, the owner, is quite knowledgable about everything chocolate, and has some wonderful ideas if you are at all wavering on a decision. My husband and I hung around for a while, sipping delicious chocolate in this amazing little shop. DEFINITELY worth the stop. Oh! And they play movies there in the evening!!
Gabrielle R, Seattle (via Yelp)
This is a lovely place. They sell their own gourmet drinking chocolate and have specialty and small-batch chocolate from all kinds of interesting places. The owner was friendly and invited me to sample a no-sugar chocolate drink that we brainstormed together while I was looking around the shop. It's really nice to have this shop in the neighborhood. If you are a chocolate enthusiast you are in for a treat and will definitely learn something while you're there.
— Jennifer S, via Yelp
"This delicious drinking chocolate makes the perfect gift for my chocolate-minded friends."
— Sayre M, New York NY
"If you enjoy fine chocolates and tea then this is the shop for you. The european drinking chocolate is sublime! The friendly and knowledgeable staff can discuss the differences in flavor of Venezuelan verses Madagasar chocolate and are happy to let you sample :) I couldn't be happier with this new shop!"
— Emily C, Lynnwood (via Yelp)
"Best hot chocolate I've ever had!"
– Susan K, Bainbridge, Island WA (mail order customer)
What an elegant, comfortable little neighborhood spot ! Splendid coffee and extraordinary chocolate. The proprietor is low-key and very welcoming. The space feels nurturing like a great yoga studio, but instead of exercise– chocolate! I'm so glad I happened on this spot.
— Kristen W, via Yelp
Love this place! From a casual stop by to get a yummy chocolate drink fix, or some scrumptious gifts, it always impresses. The owner is truly lovely and always makes the visit fun. I really enjoy the free samples and knowledge of local chocolatiers too.
— Kristel W, via Yelp
"Great Place! Enjoyed stopping by and checking it out, lots of great stuff."
— Zack R, Seattle
I stumbled upon this place one day, and boy am I glad I did. I was hankering for a mocha, and the shop owner(?) asked me what kind of chocolate I like to eat to get an idea of which one of the mochas I would like the best–yes, there are several kinds! She nailed it. It was seriously the most delicious mocha I have ever had. It makes mochas at your standard chain coffee shops taste like absolute crap. These mochas are truly chocolate drinks with coffee. Not coffee with a bit of cocoa powder. If I could walk to this place I would be here every week. Try it!
— Nathalie T, via Yelp
The drinking chocolate is amazing! You can get it as light or dark as you want. Also serve small batch roasted coffee. Excellent customer service. Very friendly and also knowledgeable about the products they sell! They also offer delicious chocolate bars in an affordable price range. I'm officially addicted!
— Amber B, via Yelp
"We ordered sipping chocolate from here for our wedding as wedding favors. The owners are very communicative throughout the ordering manufacturing process. When we picked up the order we were able to sample some sipping chocolate in the shop.
We also bought some tea in the shop as well as soap they sell. It's a very awesome, local store."
— Rose B, Seattle (via Yelp)
I am just in this place. The owner is amazing at communicating her passion to her customers. My chocolate drink is amazing too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone loving chocolate!
– Arnaud C, Seattle, via Yelp
"This is the place to go for a mocha above all others. Made with Italian drinking chocolate, it's rich and wonderful. My husband had the chocolate raspberry drinking chocolate – super yum! The shop is filled with wonderful chocolate for eating and drinking, cute handmade gifts and an owner who is a genuinely nice and friendly person. And, she knows her chocolate and coffee. Take a break from your busy, crazy day and stop in for a treat. You'll be happy you did."
–Paul C, Seattle (via Yelp)
Best chocolate selection and a true "feel good" place! Thank you Janet for making a wonderful destination in Ballard.
— Becky N, via Facebook
"As soon as I saw the contents I knew it was going to be great."
–Dan P, New York NY
"Perhaps the tastiest cup of hot chocolate I've ever had."
— Jessi M, Seattle WA
Thanks for making my holidays special with yummy chocolate! Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and a very merry Christmas!
— Jennifer W, Bellevue WA
"Received my package today and am enjoying a cup of drinking chocolate after a very rough day. I am in heaven! "
–Janet K, Ocoee FL
BRAVO! Chocolate is the owner's passion and she is wonderful at sharing it with anyone who walks in the door. What truffles she hand crafts! She wisely controls the quality by making chocolates in small batches. I have never found anything disappointing about the products she makes and all those wonderful items from others that she also provides. She really finds some amazing things. The customer service is only surpassed by the sincerity of the proprietor and the outstanding quality of her product. Chocolat Vitale is a real gem for Ballard and Greenwood and our hands-down preferred source for the finest chocolates in Seattle.
– C.M., via Yelp
I love this stuff.
— Stephen E, Ft Collins CO
Wonderful coffee, and even better chocolate. They change their coffee grind when the weather changes so that every cup is high quality.
— Ruth H, via Facebook
"Visited Seattle last July. Loved Choclat Vitale–had to buy more! Could you send samples of other products?
Thank you! Happy New Year–Our resolution….drink more hot chocolate!"
–Rachel M, Livingston NJ
Janet, who owns this store is amazing. She was very helpful while I was trying to figure out which chocolate I wanted to buy to make my hot chocolates at home. She offered to make me some hot chocolate to try a particular chocolate. When I told her I don't drink dairy and only drink unsweetened almond milk, she said, "Oh, I have that." What? This milk is hard to find in a coffee shop so when a chocolate shop carries this it shows a commitment to the customers. She is extremely customer service oriented and takes a lot of pride in the products she carries. This store is a gem in the Ballard renaissance.

Topic: Inflammation-based prognostic score
New study about relationship between inflammation and survival:
Inflammation-based prognostic score is a useful predictor of postoperative outcome in patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
The study mentions Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS). My understanding is, it's a measure of systemic inflammation in the body. I found a few more studies about GPS:
Significance of the Inflammation-Based Glasgow Prognostic Score for Short- and Long-Term Outcomes After Curative Resection of Gastric Cancer.
The systemic inflammation-based Glasgow Prognostic Score: A decade of experience in patients with cancer.
In short:
Low inflammation score ==> better survival
High inflammation score ==> worse survival
