A TAXI driver has been unable to work after his cab and his wife's car were damaged in a botched theft.
Joseph Magri, 50, was woken in the early hours by the sound of his wife's car being reversed into his taxi.
Yobs got in by smashing the windows of the cab in search of cash, but their luck was in when they discovered a key hidden in the glovebox.
Mr Magri, of Vowler Road, Langdon Hills, had forgotten to remove the spare key for his wife Sharon's Ford Focus the night before.
The thieves initially tried to make off in the cab, then tried Mrs Magri's car.
In their haste the car was crashed into the taxi parked alongside, waking the terrified couple in the process.
Mr Magri, who works in London, said: "People tend to target taxis because they assume we leave money in them, but of course most cabbies would know not to do that overnight.
"I had a holdall in there, but it just had paperwork and coins in it.
"I only had the spare key for my wife's car in there because I had gone to pick her up.
"I meant to take it out when I got home, but I completely forgot – it's just typical.
"As soon as we woke up and realised what was happening, I shouted out of the window and managed to scare them off.
"They quickly got out the car and ran off."
Mr Magri believes the lack of street lights means there is no deterrent for criminals in his neighbourhood.
He was unable to give police a description of the two thieves because of the blackout.
Essex County Council began switching street lights off from midnight until 5am earlier this year in a bid to save cash. Mr Magri, who normally wakes up at 2.30am to get ready for work, said: "At the time I'm leaving in the morning, the lights are still off and it has certainly made a big difference.
"Normally I'm just careful and make sure I lock the doors, but this just proves it isn't as safe any more.
"Criminals think they can get away with things, because there's no way people will see them.
"I can't return to work until the taxi is repaired, so I'm the one who is missing out on money."
Anyone with information should call police on 101.

Laurier mourns the passing of Rev. Arnold Weigel
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Dec 20/11
Wilfrid Laurier University and the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary are saddened by the loss of Rev. Arnold (Arnie) Weigel, who passed away Dec. 16 at the age of 72.
Weigel served as the director of Continuing Education at the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary from 1974 to 1983. He was also professor of Practical Theology and the supervisor of Contextual Education at the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary from 1983 to 2004.
"Arnie will be fondly remembered by many students and colleagues," said David Pfrimmer, principal-dean at the seminary. "He was a pioneer in the field of contextual education and recognized the importance of applying the best knowledge and insights of the seminary to the everyday wisdom so necessary for effective ministry and care of people and communities. His ideas and approaches have helped reshaped the direction of theological education."
Born in Normanby Township, Grey County, Ontario, Weigel earned a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Divinity from the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary, a Master of Arts from Wilfrid Laurier University, and a Master of Divinity from the University of Toronto School of Theology.
In addition to his roles at the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary, Weigel served as a pastor and a mission developer from 1965 to 1975 in Thornhill, Ontario.
He is survived by his wife Kathy, his daughter Brenda, his son Brian, and his grandchildren, Wesley, Brooke, Shannon and Julie. He is also survived by his brother Douglas and sister Betty Ann.

I don't want to overpay for Mayo. I'm still kind of annoyed that we overpaid for Hill.
I said this the day Bird stepped day you dont go from "I love my job and cant wait to improve my team as long as the talks with Simon goes well"
to quitting in 3 weeks. It was pretty obvious Bird wanted to get an Eric Gordon type RFA and Simon said no which is just sad. Bird isnt stupid he knows we need to add an elite talent and this free agency period was our last chance. Like I said Simon doesnt carry about a championship and not going after Gordon was proof you cant build a player who is a better fit for our team to get to the next level and we refuse to offer him a fair deal.\
Plus when Bird talked to Jackie Mac it was pretty obvious he isn't coming back unless his owner wants to actually let him bulid a championship team.
Simon is out of touch just retaining your own guys wont get us anywhere near a title contender and Bird knew this. We dont have the talent we did in 04 where just retaining would of been enough(if it wasn't for the brawl) we needed this free agency period more than anything.
Gordon or Williams would of been the final piece but Simon is content with just trying to be a 4-8 seed trying to get out of the 2nd rd instead of trying to win it all
If we were going by just retaining you cant build on that model by draft mid teens every year it wont work.
I don't see why people are crucifying Simon here. I mean is dropping 60 million over 4 years to a guy who played a total of 9 games last year (in addition to his history of injuries) indicative of a penny pincher or a smart business man? I would have to say the latter.
Also, I have a tough time believing that after all of this time working under Simon than not wanting to go after Gordon caused Bird to step away. I have to believe there is more to it.
So we are the new Atlanta Hawks ?
I read the article twice and it seems highly speculative to me, and I dont really buy it as the article suggests. So Bird tells Simon we need another scorer and Herb refuses, so Bird leaves. Does anyone think it is that simple. Doesn't ring true to me
Last edited by Unclebuck; 07-07-2012 at 09:20 PM.
this article sounds weak...we are supposed to believe Bird said "I want to add another scorer" and Simon flat-out said "not under any circumstance"? that is very unlikely.
more likely is that simon did not want to offer the max to gordon (good choice!) and/or did not want to pay the luxury tax (which is the stance of almost every owner in the league)...
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
If Bird left because of Gordon, that's just stupid. If Bird left because Simon said we couldn't add another scorer, that's just....completely ********. Simon wouldn't do that.
Now, if Bird said there's no way he could build a contender without going over the luxury tax for a couple of years and Simon said "Hell No", that would be believable and completely understandable. There doesn't have to be a bad guy in this situation.
Does the bad back, wanting to take a year off, etc. sound more plausible? if this is true, Larry is not coming back to this team and we are stuck with Walsh or a Walsh-like clone. Why it seems plausible is that his decision to not come back was abrupt. However, there appears to be a difference in philosophy between Simon and Bird and whether Eric is involved isn't clear or material..
There has to be more to it than suggested, as there are more (less risky) options than Gordon (Mayo isn't one of them). To me this sounds more like there s a disagreement on how to spend the money to build a team, not that Simon isn't willing to spend.
Lots of running around with hair on fire going on, on this board, jeez. Gets hard to read, all of the ridiculous absolute statements. Simon doesn't like to go for Restricted FA for multiple reasons, I understand that, doesn't mean he strives for mediocrity or you can never win a championship, but whatever, people are entitled to their overeations.
This isn't how you build the fanbase back. Fans come to games when they know their team is committed to doing whatever it can to win. Letting Larry Bird (an indiana legend) walk because you won't let him spend enough to turn the team into a contender? ouch.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
I hope your right. I would hate to think Simon said it in that manner or said it at all.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
Yes, very well said. Also, when Bird wanted to add a scorer this year, he did, with Barbosa. Simon didn't veto this.
http://www.iamagm.com/news/2012/07/0...medium=twitterLarry Bird left Pacers job partly due to owner refusing to spend money this offseason
This is kind of ridiculous. I'm interested to hear the response on 1070 Monday.Analysts were shocked when Larry Bird announced that he was leaving the Indiana Pacers, as recent reports had the NBA legend hinting at a returning. Besides the health issues which were initially cited, it sounds like Bird had enough of owner Herb Simon refusing to spend money this offseason.
Let's see if the Pacers decide to match the max-level offer sheet restricted free agent Roy Hibbert signed with the Portland Trail Blazers.
According to Mitch Lawrence from nydailynews.com:
Simon turned down Bird's request to add a scorer, even after the Pacers had problems generating offense against the Miami Heat in their second-round playoff loss. Bird was thinking about getting into the Eric Gordon sweepstakes to make a run at the Hornets' restricted free agent and former Indiana University star. .... Bird likely used Simon's rejection as an additional reason to hang it up, one old Celtic said.
But Simon is also known to oppose paying the NBA luxury tax. After leaving, Bird shed some light on what he had to put up with, when asked about making the Pacers better.
"Small market,'' he said. "It's tough.''
I don't know that I would say this is our last chance. That's a bit too doom and gloom for me. Also, it's not like the season is starting tomorrow. Who knows what the remainder of this offseason holds.
..i was jokin'. I just don't think he would say no to adding a scorer. should have put quotations lol
I thought Jackie Macmullan was on 1070 this past week and said something along the lines that she thinks bird will end up back on a team that will open up the wallet a little more.... she talked to him or something... she seemed to kind of reiterate this same sentiment. Sometimes reality hurts.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
name an all star quality guy who can get to the rim at will and shoot like both Deron and Eric can. This was our last shot to add before paying our own. Literally Deron and EJ fit the bill of our last remaining key piece we needed to a tee but we didnt go after one of them.
Who knows what the reminder of the off season holds??? I know one thing we aren't getting a difference maker to take us to a championship caliber team like we could of if we went after one RFA.
It's fine if you want to sugar coat and be unrealistic it but im not really into that kind of thing.
If this offseason isn't our last chance to get an elite scorer ie. Eric Gordon. Then explain how else Pacers are going to get an elite scorer? I think Pacer4ever is completely correct! Eric is an Addition to without the subtraction off!
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
Still believe there was "nothing" to the "Simon wouldn't spend" grumblings? Like I said, often when there's smoke, there's fire. This even adds to the suspicion that Simon's willingness to spend is a legitimate concern. I don't know if it's fact, but there sure seems to be some reason to believe it at this point.

Theres a difference in not spending and not throwing max contracts at a guy who cannot stay healthy.

Tech's Best Undergraduate Research on Display at Expo Today
Last Modified 2:59 PM, April 20, 2010
April 14, 2010—
Michigan Technological University's tenth annual Undergraduate Expo, featuring the research projects of more than 1,000 Michigan Tech students, is being held today on Thursday, April 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Memorial Union Ballroom on campus.
Highlights of the presentations, projects and posters include a cool-air, cool-planet carbon calculator; a hand-washing detector, a wireless cardiopulmonary monitor; underwater robots designed by high schoolers; a human-computer interface for the blind; the relationship between stress, sleep and exercise among college students—and much more.
A panel of judges comprising University faculty members and corporate representatives will critique the projects. Many of the projects are supported by industry sponsors and community partners, with more than 130 different team sponsors and partners this year. The Undergraduate Expo itself is also supported by sponsorship from Nucor, Skanska, GS Engineering, Integrys, SmartZone, US Forest Service Region 9 and E3 Spark Plugs.
This year, the Expo highlights the continued expansion of Tech's signature Enterprise program beyond campus boundaries, with seven Enterprise teams from Universidad del Turabo in Gurabo, Puerto Rico, participating, as well as a Puerto Rican high school Enterprise team that one of the university teams advises. Michigan Tech also welcomes no less than ten high school Enterprise teams who have traveled here from around the state of Michigan to compete at the Expo.
Teachers and students from Woodlawn Charter School in Chicago, Ill., Tech High in Atlanta, Ga., and Dollar Bay High School will also attend the Expo to learn more about forming High School Enterprise teams and programs of their own. Students and their teachers from the GEAR UP program at L'Anse and Dollar Bay in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula will also be touring the Expo and voting for their favorite poster.
The Expo is free and open to all. For a complete schedule of events and the full list of team sponsors, check the Expo website at http://www.expo.mtu.edu.

Speaking out for the first time since he resigned, retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal takes the blame for a Rolling Stone article and the unflattering comments attributed to his staff about the Obama administration that ended his Afghanistan command and army career. "Regardless of how I judged the story for fairness or accuracy, responsibility was mine," McChrystal writes in his new memoir, in a carefully worded denouncement of the story.
The Rolling Stone article anonymously quoted McChrystal's aides as criticizing Obama's team, including Vice President Joe Biden.
McChrystal adds the choice to resign as U.S. commander in Afghanistan was his.

"More cowbell" is an American pop culture catch phrase originally derived from an April 8, 2000 Saturday Night Live comedy sketch about the recording of the song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult. The sketch featured guest host Christopher Walken as music producer Bruce Dickinson and Will Ferrell as fictional cowbell player Gene Frenkle. In the television special Saturday Night Live: 101 Most Unforgettable Moments, this sketch is moment number five. – www.morecowbell.dj

Frederick red-light cameras net city almost $4 million
FREDERICK, Md. (AP) - Frederick police say nearly $4 million in fines have been issued through the city's red-light camera system.
Police say the cameras catch an average of 17 red-light violations every day.
The city has 12 cameras at nine intersections. They operate around-the-clock, with violations carrying a $75 fine.
Police say violations at intersections with a camera fell by 55 percent between July 2005 and July 2013.
Police have issued more than 50,000 citations during those eight years. Fines have totaled $3.8 million since the program began.
Lt. Jason Keckler, the patrol operations commander for the city's police department, tells The Frederick News-Post that the cameras have had a "direct impact on changing driving behavior" and have improved safety.

Diary of a Dividend Diva: Playing the Specials
With dividends coming fast and furious, it looks like a great holiday for income-oriented investors. Here are a few thoughts regarding the current dividend-fest.
Remember that when you play special dividends, focus on the total return on the trade, not just the cash payment. The larger the special, the steeper the drop in the stock when it goes ex-dividend. Expect to book a capital loss along with receiving the dividend, so the difference is what really matters.

St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub Reviews
Great Way to a Fresh Face!St. Ives "Fresh Skin Invigorating Apricot Scrub" has been in my medicine cabinet since before I can recall. During my twenties, when my skin was prone to cyclical breakouts, it helped to keep me clear. Now I use it at least twice weekly for a plethora of reasons: 1) Exfoliation cleans congested, oil-filled pores; 2) It removes old, dead skin cells and allows creams and other products to work mo...read morere effectively; 3) It works to break up hyperpigmented cells--brown spots which come as a result of genetics, pregnancy, age, and hormonal changes. If you are using a product to lighten your complexion, its efficacy is improved; and 4) In the winter, as I increase the items used to keep my skin moist, I'm also increasing product build-up; exfoliation allows me to deal with fresh, new cells. St. Ives' formula is affordable for everyone. Better yet, it is all-natural, with no parabens or phthalates. Animal ingredients are never used. What makes it so luscious? Apricots, naturally, which are great anti-oxidants and quite nourishing; corn kernel meal, a gentle flower made from dried corn to deep-clean; and ground walnut shells, which enable cell turnover. Just a word of warning here: You can exfoliate too much and too hard. In order not to tear fragile skin tissue, apply after cleansing and work into a rich, non-foaming lather. Always be aware not to pressure skin. Concentrate on problem areas such as your nose or chin, but do it with delicacy. Keep away from eyes. Eye tissue is akin to lightweight paper--even if you're fifteen and have an oily complexion, you don't want to scrub here! It's easy to get carried away with the fresh, sweet scent, but less is definitely more. Rinse very well, making sure all particles are gone, and enjoy your tightened, baby-soft, smooth skin. — 4 years, 7 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

St Ives Apricot ScrubThis is the one and only facial exfoliator. Sometimes I mix it with my facial cleanser - I have 3 going at the same time - L'Occitane is the best. My skin just glows and tightens from this product. Excellent price point for excellent product. — 6 years, 1 month agoCaroleVonAllten | 1401 reviews

Be warnedI liked using this a lot at first. My skin felt smooth and clean. Then I read how the large scrubbers can cause micro tears and that made me concerned. So I felt the need to switch to a different scrub instead. It's very affordable, and that was the best part. — 6 years, 6 months agovolta | 566 reviews

Under soil heating, new floodlights and a new pitch are all in the pipleline ahead of Crystal Palace's second season in the top flight.

East Texan Named to Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame
ATHENS, Texas — Paul Hinton of Hemphill has been selected as the 2009 inductee into the Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame.
Hinton was honored for his contributions as a communicator and educator due to 20 years of service as the Texas founder and director of East Texas Get Hooked on Fishing, Not Drugs.
Following retirement from the insurance industry, Hinton began a new career as an outdoor writer and educator, concentrating his efforts on introducing kids to fishing as an alternative to drugs. "He was driven to make children aware of the beauty and value of fishing as a good choice to make in life rather than a bad choice like drugs," wrote nominator Kathy Magers, who was herself inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002.
Hinton's nomination was supported by a host of well-wishers, including Sharon Rushton, founding executive director of the Future Fisherman Foundation; pro angler and television host Jimmy Houston; two-time women's world champion angler Judy Wong; and pro angler Jay Yelas.
Hinton introduced thousands of children to fishing while partnering with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to also teach boating and water safety and fish identification. He involved fishing industry manufacturers, state and local officials and sports figures. His home became a warehouse for supplies, and his life revolved around putting on events to get kids involved in fishing-all without pay and often with the expenditure of his own retirement income.
Hinton received many honors from governors and presidents for his efforts, but the ones he valued most came from children. One wrote, "Thanks for keeping a lot of people drug free in the U.S. . . . I've always wondered why you do this when you could be at home?"
For Hinton, the answer to that question was simple: When helping keep kids off drugs, he was at home.
Hinton will be honored at a banquet at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens on June 6. A video documenting his work will become a permanent exhibit in the Hall of Fame area.
The Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center is at 5550 F.M. 2495, four miles east of Athens. For more information call (903) 676-2277 or visit tpwd.texas.gov/tffc.

Pound cake might be the worst-named food in the world. True, it's a good description of the contents (a pound of flour, a pound of butter, etc.) but when I'm considering a cake indulgence, I think that it's pretty lame to remind me of the consequences to my waistline before even taking a bite. It's a miracle that, despite its terrible branding, pound cake has stood the test of time. That's because pound cake is one of the best dessert delivery systems out there. When I look at pound cake, I see a blank canvas that's begging to be painted with macerated fruits, drizzled with chocolaty syrups, piled with dollops of whipped cream. It has the perfect texture for soaking up juices and sauces, and unlike some other cakes, it doesn't go to mush.
To make a great pound cake, one that has a moist, even crumb and a surprising amount of flavor from such few ingredients, stick with the classic 1:1:1:1 pound ratio of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour, and add flavor to enhance it. My favorite flavoring are the seeds scraped from a real vanilla bean, but extracts, zest, or spices may also be added.
Here are some tips for a great cake with a moist and even crumb:
- Prepare pans with butter and parchment so the cakes come out of the pan without sticking
- Take the time to properly cream the butter and sugar so it's fluffy and light
- Be sure to avoid over-mixing the batter once dry ingredients are added

Self AnagramTrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. For example, rearrange "none" to get "neon".
It is not considered an anagram if you exchange a letter with the same letter. For example, switching the n's with each other in "noun" does not give an anagram.
Even though a word is not considered an anagram of itself, your task is to find a word that is an anagram of itself. If you can do the seemingly impossible once, you might as well find a second word that is an anagram of itself.
HintFocus on the question itself.
AnswerBoth "stifle" and "filets" are anagrams of "itself".

For now, it remains speculation. During Sunday night's bowl teleconference Gundy declined comment on the subject.
"I would never talk about any other job or give any confirmation of anything that's gone on," Gundy said. "My only concern is Oklahoma State. I would prefer not to talk about anything other than Oklahoma State or the bowl game."
Volquest.com, an on-line publication that covers the Volunteers, has reported that Gundy interviewed with Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart on Sunday.
The Cowboys (7-5) were hoping for a more prestigious postseason berth than the Heart of Dallas Bowl, which is last in the Big 12 bowl order and was previously known as the TicketCity Bowl. They finished tied for third in the Big 12 with a 5-4 record, and had been projected to go to the Cotton Bowl, Alamo Bowl or Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.
Instead, they'll get to play in the Cotton Bowl (it's the site of the Heart of Dallas Bowl).
"The speculation that was going on for weeks (about which bowl Oklahoma State would get) didn't hold to be true," Gundy said. "The conference sent us to this bowl. A bowl is all about competing. Teams that play well in bowl games are the ones who really want to be there."
Gundy said he liked the Jan. 1 date because it allowed the team to have a few more days of practice. Teams are allowed 15 practices spread out over the next four weeks.
"It gives us an opportunity to work some younger players and get ready for the bowl," he said.
Dallas also is a prime recruiting area for Oklahoma State.
"We thrive in Dallas and central Texas and the Houston area," Gundy said. "So we'll be down there for a number of days and we have a lot of people that will come support us. We will be visible in that area, which will be marketing Oklahoma State."
As far as the game itself, Heart of Dallas Bowl board member Kern Egan said in a release that, "This will be an interesting and entertaining game at the historic Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day. Purdue ended the season on a roll with three straight wins, while Oklahoma State has one of the nation's best offenses."
How good is the Cowboys' offense. They average 44.7 points, which ranks fourth nationally. Louisiana Tech is first at 51.5 points.
In fact, the Big 12 has four of the nation's top 12 scoring offenses with No. 5 Baylor (44.1 points), No. 10 Kansas State (40.7) and No. 12 Oklahoma (40.3).
"We'll find out during the bowl season if the (conference) offenses are as good as people say they are," Gundy said.
Oklahoma State ranks seventh nationally in passing offense (333.4 yards) despite playing three quarterbacks this season. Quarterback Clint Chelf is expected to start against Purdue. He's thrown for 1,391 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions.
The top receiver is Josh Steward, who has 96 catches for 1,154 yards and seven touchdowns. Charlie Moore has 31 catches for 500 yards and five TDs. Blake Jackson has 28 catches for 565 yards. That's a team-leading 20.2 yards a catch.
In all, nine players have at least 12 catches for at least 166 yards.
The running game is led by Joseph Randle, who's rushed for a Big 12-leading 1,351 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Oklahoma State struggled defensively down the stretch against Oklahoma and Baylor (giving up a combined 92 points in those games). They allow 29.4 points. They give up 285.7 passing yards, which ranks 111th out of 120 major college teams.
Purdue (6-6) begins its bowl practices today. Higgins said the focus is on the team and winning the bowl.
"These guys are the reason why you play the game," Higgins said. "It will be a great experience. We can't wait to go down there against a quality opponent."
As far as the Boilers' coaching search, No. 1 target Butch Jones, the Cincinnati coach, reportedly visited Colorado on Monday after checking out Purdue's facilities on Sunday. Cincinnati is reworking Jones' contract in an effort to keep him. He's likely to make a decision fast, perhaps as soon as today. He has a 50-27 coaching record, 23-14 in three years at Cincinnati.
Another possibility is Kent State coach Darrell Hazell, whose name had been linked to the California job. The former Ohio State receivers coach led Kent State to an 11-2 record this season and its first bowl game in 40 years, the GoDaddy.com Bowl against Arkansas State.Safety Landon Feichter, a walk-on and former Bishop Dwenger standout, earned defensive MVP honors with defensive tackle Kawann Short during Purdue's annual team banquet.
Feichter shares the Big Ten interception lead with four. That included returning an interception for a touchdown in the season-opening win against Eastern Kentucky. He also has a team-leading 76 tackles. He is set to go on scholarship starting with the spring semester.
Short led Purdue with 14.5 tackles for loss and six sacks. He totaled 42 tackles, four pass break ups, two fumbles recovered, one forced fumble and four blocked kicks (three field goals, one extra point). He has six career blocked field goals and ranks eighth in school history in career tackles for loss (48) and sacks (18.5). He is Purdue's only first team All-Big Ten pick. It's the second straight year he was named a defensive MVP.
Offensive players honored were running back Akeem Shavers (team-leading 788 rushing yards) and center Rick Schmeig.
Also, freshman receiver Danny Anthrop and junior linebacker Sean Robinson were voted special teams MVPs.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Increase the nutritional value of any meal with a sprinkle of chia seed, a superfood revered by ancient Aztec warriors and modern-day athletes.
Thousands of years ago, chia seed was a staple in the diets of ancient Mayans and Aztecs. The word chia is derived from the Mayan language, meaning "strength", and Aztec warrior relied on chia seed to boost energy and increase stamina. Today this tiny seed is a favorite of athletes, especially distance runners, who tout it as an endurance enhancing superfood. The mild, nutty flavor goes well with both sweet and savory dishes. Use chia seed in pudding and smoothies, sprinkle on top of porridge and salads, and add to baked goods in place of flaxseed meal or poppy seeds.
Dear Friends,
There's a saying, "What once was old is new again". This expression certainly applies to our traditional stone grinding mills, which are much like the one use in early Roman times. It's also true about many of our favorite whole grains, which originated in ancient times. Amaranth, chia seed, farro, Kamut grain, millet, quinoa, sorghum, spelt and teff- they may be lesser known than familiar grains like wheat and barley, but each one has a story to tell, with histories going back thousands of years and rich cultural traditions from around the globe.
Lucky for use, these whole grains aren't just ancient history; they're also tasty, nutritious additions to modern meals. These "super grains" of the ancient world are wonderfully healthy, and their unique flavors and textures will add a delicious twist to your favorite recipes. They're versatile too- great for snack, salads, side dishes, entrees and baked goods.
At Bob's Red Mill, we're always exploring the world in search of new whole grain adventures, and we're proud to mill the widest possible diversity of whole grain foods. With that in mind, we invite you to join us in discovering these grains of antiquity.
To your good health, Bob Moore

I simply love chia seeds! They're good for me, contain omega and fiber. They're so small and versitile that I can put them in everything! I use them when I bake bread, crackers and granola bars for some extra fiber and energy. I always put ts in my morning smoothie or morning oatmeal. If you have problems with you digestion, try soaking a tbs of these in some water or apple juice for a few hours, and drink it all a few hours before you go to bed. Your body will send you its regards the next morning.

Great for my Coconut Chia Pudding
Posted by iHerb Customer on Jun 02, 2017 | Verified Purchase
I just made the most amazing and easy coconut chia pudding that the entire family loved... including the kids! Just let the chia seeds soak up in a bowl of 1:1 coconut milk:soy/almond milk mix for about 1 hour, add honey to taste and maybe even some berries too! You can even leave it overnight for a more solid consistency, but we seldom get any left for that to happen~

The occasion of Indiana's first game as a No. 1 team in nearly two decades seemed to athletics director Fred Glass to be an ideal opportunity to announce a contract extension for the man who made that happen: Coach Tom Crean.
Before tip-off Friday night between IU and Bryant, Glass presented that news and a proclamation that IU basketball "is back." Both drew enormous cheers from the Assembly Hall crowd.
Crean's two extra contract years extend his term to 2020.
"Tom Crean has done an absolutely phenomenal job bringing Indiana University back to its rightful place as one of the elite basketball programs in the country," Glass said in a statement. "His energy, integrity, ability, passion, industry, vision and commitment are unparalleled."
Indiana surged to a 27-9 record and Sweet 16 appearance last season after winning only 28 games combined in Crean's first three seasons.
It took a while for the success to arrive as Crean rebuilt a program that did not contain a single veteran scholarship player when he began his first season. The entire roster of scholarship players vacated the program after NCAA sanctions were imposed over a couple handfuls of impermissible recruiting calls were made by then-coach Kelvin Sampson.
Crean attracted such players as forward Christian Watford and guard Jordan Hulls to form the foundation of the program and then scored big in recruiting with center Cody Zeller. As a sophomore, Zeller is Sporting News' preseason player of the year, and IU our No. 1 team.
As part of his contract extension, Crean will get a pay raise from $2.52 million to $3.16 million. He also will be eligible for an academic bonus worth as much as $55,000 annually.
"Since we arrived in April of 2008, we have been 'all in,' " Crean said. "Even through all of the challenges, our love and passion never wavered for Indiana basketball and all that the school and the state embodies.
"We are honored to know we will be here for a very long time."

Repeat customers are key to business success. For managed services providers, this translates to retaining clients at contract-renewal time. However, according to trade industry group CompTIA, three out of 10 MSPs report that as many as 40% of their customers walk away rather than renew. Only 35% of MSPs polled for CompTIA's "Trends in Managed Services Operations 2012" report say they have reached optimal retention.
MSPs urgently need a strategy for long-term client retention. Key to that strategy is to continually remind customers of the value of managed services, which requires ongoing communication. Without communication, customers quickly forget that MSPs work day in day out to keep their networks healthy, secure, and running without productivity- hindering outages.
The most effective way to communicate value is to leverage reporting tools that automatically collect and store data about MSPs' daily activities on behalf on clients. When clients understand how much goes into keeping their systems running, they are much less likely to walk away when their contracts are up. They become more inclined to view the MSP as a trusted IT advisor.

TWO opening batsmen who played in the Australian tour of England in 1926 have been reunited after nearly 90 years.
Andy Collier, owner of the Cotswold Cricket Museum in Stow, was amazed when a cricket bat used by tour captain Herbie Collins recently turned up in a house clearance in Andoversford.
The museum owner said he could not believe his luck as he already had the bat used by fellow tour batsman, Warren Bardsley, which has been in his collection for the last seven years.
Dedicated to 'Robert' from Herbie Collins, the bat is in excellent condition and has now been donated to the museum and will sit in pride of place alongside the original.
"It's absolutely amazing, this sort of thing doesn't happen," said Mr Collier. "The chances of it happening are pretty slim. It's quite a unique thing really. The bat itself is unique. It's a cricket fan's dream if you know your history.
"Whoever was clearing the house out found this bat and thought of us after seeing us on Antiques Road Trip. They thought it would be the best place to have it."
Mr Collier, who has devoted more than 20 years to the task of bringing the artefacts together and thoroughly researching the story of each item to confirm its authenticity, said the extraordinary find had left visitors gobsmacked.
"Everybody thinks it's amazing they've come back together to resume their opening partnership," he said. "I would like to know who Robert was, but we don't know that yet.
"Herbie Collins was suffering arthritis so there's a theory he was convalescing around this area so he might have given the bat to someone. But we will probably never know.
"Once you start learning about the history of cricket there's more you want to know."
England won the 1926 Ashes series against Australia, by winning the last game at the Oval.
During the tour, Mr Bardsley scored 193 runs not out at Lords and was the oldest player to carry his bat in test history at the age of 42, which is the same one in the museum today.

CEMEX Brooksville South Cement Plant
10311 Cement Plant Road
Brooksville, FL 34601
Map It!
The CEMEX Brooksville South Cement Plant has continuously produced Portland cement in Brooksville, FL since shipments began in 1986, and has been mining limestone on this site since the 1920?s. After an extensive expansion in 2008, the CEMEX Brooksville South plant has a permitted production capacity of 2.17 million tons of cement per year. The plant employs about 104 men and women, providing a payroll of more than $8 million to the local community. 2012 is the first year CEMEX Brooksville South plant earned the ENERGY STAR plant certification.
CEMEX has continually strived to make a difference in the Brooksville, FL area by being the best neighbor it can be through its direct and indirect economic contributions, volunteerism, and commitment to the environment. It has made investments in technology to reduce energy consumption and to reduce its? overall environmental impact including a reduction in the carbon footprint of the facility.
CEMEX has a company-wide Energy Management Program based on the ENERGY STAR Guidelines for Energy Management. Under this program, the Brooksville South cement plant has a Site Energy Team which helps the plant progressively apply good energy practices promoted by ENERGY STAR.
Energy conservation efforts of the plant include:
? Improving energy efficiency through more utilization of the new large vertical finish mill.
? Installation of a multi-fuel alternative fuel handling system and automation of the tire injection machine to burn up to 59% alternative fuels.
? Addition of limestone and baghouse dust into cement to decrease the clinker/cement factor.
? Improving thermal energy efficiency of kiln operation through process optimization.
As a result of the above-mentioned energy conservation measures, the plant has substantially lowered its specific heat consumption and specific electric power consumption in 2011 compared with 2009, and conserved 171,000 MMBtu in thermal energy and 7,600 MWH of electric power.
The plant consumed over 8,100 tons of used tires and tire fluff and 1,500 tons of wood and agricultural waste in 2011. The use of these alternative fuels conserves natural resources for the future.

Brunswick County residents have been receiving calls and messages from people identifying themselves as representatives of Security Savings Bank asking them to call a designated number, saying there is a problem with their Visa debit card.
According to Security's vice president and information technology manager Phil Fravel, these calls are not valid, and people who receive them should hang up immediately.
"If, by chance, they do respond, they should call us immediately so we can block their accounts," Fravel said.
When developer Brian Griffin started making plans for a unique gated community off Village Point Road in Shallotte several years ago, he hadn't predicted the coming recession or bank failures that have resulted in stalled development and under-whelming real estate sales.
"Four or five years ago, people would buy a piece of land sight unseen. That's what got us here today. They thought they could flip it and make a few bucks," Griffin said this week.
Bourbon Street Restaurant and Bar co-owner Leroy Brown has announced plans to host monthly "business-to-business" receptions at his new restaurant at 125 Causeway Drive in Ocean Isle Beach.
Brown is also the co-owner of The Bridge Grill and Pizza at Sunset Beach.
A Grade Above Realty has recognized Mike Blandino on his recent membership to the Property Management Division (PMD) of the North Carolina Association of Realtors.
The objectives of the PMD are to provide legislative, educational and networking opportunities to North Carolina's professional property managers. Educational seminars on new developments in real estate legislation are conducted throughout the year.
The "dancing liberties" have made driving in Shallotte a little more interesting since the year started, but as of April 15, wavers are no longer putting on free "shows" to entice taxpayers to visit Liberty Tax Service.
It's been a busy year for local tax preparers, and Liberty's signature attention-getter has served as a visible reminder of the looming tax deadline during the company's first year in Shallotte.
Tourism is Brunswick County's lifeblood, and every spring and summer, people in need of even part-time or temporary work find what they're looking for in local restaurants.
Two new restaurants have opened recently in Brunswick County, Tokyo Express in Shallotte and Bourbon Street Restaurant & Bar in Ocean Isle Beach.
Tokyo Express opened two weeks ago on the north end of Shallotte with three employees.
It's like speed dating, only in this case no one is trying to make a love connection. Instead, participants show up at "speed networking" events to tell as many people as possible about their businesses or organizations in the hopes of increasing visibility, meeting new people and making business connections.
Representatives from 33 local businesses and agencies participated in the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce's first-ever speed networking function last Wednesday at Planet Fun's Starz Grille.
ATMC TV will highlight the accomplishments of several Brunswick County businesswomen in an upcoming edition of the "Brunswick Now" show as a preview to the upcoming Women in Entrepreneurship seminar set for May 5 at Brunswick Community College.
SUPPLY—The Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce honored its members for their hard work in a challenging economic year at its annual meeting Tuesday night at 101 Stone Chimney Place.
Business leaders and local elected officials gathered for the dinner, awards ceremony and to witness the "passing of the gavel." The chamber's 2009 president Bobby Davis handed the ceremonial gavel to 2010 president Ron Watts.
ATMC Wireless has upgraded its wireless network with new 3G technology throughout Brunswick County.
The name 3G stands for third generation wireless technology. 3G allows ATMC Wireless customers to experience mobile broadband speeds much faster than what is available with 2G networks.
"The ATMC Wireless 3G Network is the largest and fastest 3G network in Brunswick County. It is also a part of the AT&T 3G network, the fastest 3G network in the nation," said Roger Cox, Executive Vice President of ATMC Wireless Operations.

Mt. Carmel 8, Valhalla 6
Mt. Carmel goalie Savannah Carlson acknowledged she was very nervous with the San Diego Section Division II girls water polo title on the line and a seemingly commanding lead over defending champion Valhalla shrinking.
Yet the Sundevils junior kept her cool when it counted most, making the last of her 10 saves to protect a one-goal lead. Then senior Nicole Ryder followed with her fourth goal with 1:26 left to help secure the first championship in school history.
Mt. Carmel, down by two goals and then up by five, prevailed 8-6 to avenge a finals loss last year to the Norseman at La Jolla High's Coggan Pool on Saturday.
"It was just insane," said Ryder, a fourth-year varsity member, bound for San Diego State. "At the end, we just had to go do what we had to do. It's an amazing feeling to win. I'm just freaking out."
The second-seeded Sundevils (16-14) withstood Valhalla (25-8) after the Norsemen closed to within 7-6 with 3:10 left on four straight goals, the last two by Alli Davis.
"I was very excited and relieved (after Ryder's last goal)," said Carlson, a junior in her first varsity season. "It feels amazing. All day, all I could think of was this. We'd been preparing all season for this."
Mt. Carmel's Jordan Gormaly earlier converted back-to-back long lob shots for a 7-2 edge with 3:44 to go in the third quarter.
Arianna Sapp added two goals for Valhalla, which endured a scoreless span of 14:05 before rallying.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

oh my gosh, soo adorable!!!
My apartment is now home to a mother cat (tentatively named Ginger Rogers) and her two crazy kittens whom we have named Loki and Thor. We don't know their sexes yet but my kittens don't subscribe to conventions like gender roles so it's a moot point; they're trailblazers in borderline gender identities in the feline community.
Ginger Rogers seems very displeased about the arrangement and Loki and Thor seem confused but content. On the way home from the shelter, all three went into a cardboard carrier. Ginge was not happy about this and shoved herself into a corner of the box, asking herself how she had gotten here. Knocked up at only one year old, the father not even in the picture… what was she doing with her life? But the kittens were quite the opposite: trampling all over each other in a brave attempt to discover the marvels of this cardboard wonderland.
L and T are completely unaware of their mother's disdain for their existence as evidenced by their use of her body as a trampoline and a launching pad. That's their main form of exercise besides clawing their way up my body via my clothes, using their claws as tiny, adorable grappling hooks.
Below are grainy, fuzzy photos of Loki, Thor, and Ginger Rogers. Sorry about the horrible quality. They were taken at night and the kittens would not stay still and pose even when I prompted them with encouraging comments, "Show me some personality, Loki! You're a Norse god for Pete's sake, SELL IT TO ME!!!"
Tomorrow, expect high quality photos!

We stopped over at Melendez Restorations of Rancho Cucamonga, CA., where they were working on a 1964 Impala. While we were visiting them, they caught our attention as they were in the process of beginning welding on a 1964 Impala. They decided to mold up several of the factory seams to allow the paint to flow. In order to accomplish this, they showed us the shop's latest acquisition; the MillerMatic 180. This Auto-Set machine is an all-in-one wire welder that welds 24 gauge – 5/16 inch (0.8 – 7.9 mm) mild steel. This makes this machine perfect for several types of build jobs, from sheet metal replacement to our fender molding in this month's feature.
Since we happened to be at the shop when they were about to start, they allowed us to view how they welded up the front fenders. Now follow along, as the pros of Melendez Restorations show us their welding skills using Miller's latest sheet metal welder, the MillerMatic 180.
1. This 1964 Impala original fender came as a two-piece fender.
2. We decided to mold it and make it look like a one-piece fender, in order to make the fender look longer. The two-pieces were lined up in bare metal before they were welded together.
3. The first thing to secure when welding on anything is to have a good ground.
4. Gilbert dialed in the MillerMatic 180 and started spot welding.
5. To keep the metal from warping, the fender was tack welded in sections.
6. To cool off the metal, the crew simply used air.
7. Once the welds had been finished in sections, they were grinded down using a Makita grinder.
8. The fender should look as if it is all one piece before any of the bodywork is added to it.
9. A thin coat of fiberglass and kitty hair was used to reinforce the weld, and to also make sure that the metal didn't crack.
10. Once the bodywork was finished, it was sealed with primer for its final block.

Conservancy Marks Four Decades of Partnership With TPWD
AUSTIN, Texas — The Nature Conservancy of Texas this year commemorates its 40th anniversary, marking four decades of partnership with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to save important lands and waters in the Lone Star State.
During the years, the nonprofit conservation group has purchased or brokered the acquisition of important land tracts that later became state parks or wildlife management areas. Today, the Conservancy manages preserves next to state parks or WMAs, thus working cooperatively to incorporate best practices for land management across larger areas. Finally, the group works with TPWD and others to help and encourage private landowners to manage property in ways that benefit wildlife and people.
"The Nature Conservancy has been an outstanding conservation partner in Texas," said Robert L. Cook, TPWD executive director. "They have the ability to raise money and work intelligently and quietly and this has made them extremely effective. Plus, they have become increasingly adept at working with private landowners, understanding property rights and local community concerns, and that's particularly important and appreciated where our agency and commission are concerned."
"From the Davis Mountains in Far West Texas to Caddo Lake in East Texas, at Mad Island Marsh on the gulf coast and in the heart of the Hill Country at Enchanted Rock, the natural partnership between Texas Parks and Wildlife and The Nature Conservancy of Texas has helped preserve a legacy of wildlife habitat and recreation areas for future generations," said Carter Smith, Texas State Director for The Nature Conservancy.
Smith said the two organizations have maintained a tradition of sharing scientific data and conservation planning strategies, as in current work to restore native prairie grasslands on private lands along the Texas coast.
"Additionally, because the Conservancy is a private non-profit able to work with a great deal of flexibility and speed, we have been able to acquire potential parkland when it became available, and convey it later to TPWD," Smith explained.
An acquisition by the Conservancy of 1,640 acres at Enchanted Rock in 1978 marked the first time the non-profit facilitated the creation of state parklands. Other state parks, wildlife management areas and state natural areas created by or contributed to by Conservancy acquisitions include:
- Honey Creek State Natural Area
- Mad Island Marsh Wildlife Management Area
- World Birding Center
- Caddo Lake Wildlife Management Area
- San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site
- Boca Chica State Park
Smith noted that while early efforts of The Nature Conservancy of Texas often focused on creating parklands, in more recent years the non-profit organization has concentrated on private land conservation, frequently resulting in complementary collaboration between the Conservancy, TPWD and private landowners to conserve and protect lands within the same ecosystems.
For example, land management at Davis Mountains State Park is enhanced by conservation work at the Conservancy's Davis Mountains Preserve, as well as at multiple private lands that the Conservancy manages for conservation. On the Devils River, where the Conservancy owns Dolan Falls Preserve and owns or manages multiple additional conservation properties, the organizations share scientific information and land management techniques to best conserve TPWD's Devils River State Natural Area and the entire river system.
The Conservancy's nature preserves and conservation-management lands also serve as living laboratories for a wide variety of TPWD scientists and researchers, and often are provided as outdoor classrooms for TPWD public education programs such as Project WILD and Monarch Watch.
Both organizations have shared key staff members and volunteers through the years. Smith, who recently was named as the Conservancy's Texas state director, worked in TPWD's private lands program in 1993 and 1994 and helped to establish the Texas Land Trust Council in partnership with TPWD. Andrew "Andy" Sansom, executive director for TPWD from 1990 to 2001, served as the Conservancy's Texas state director from 1982-87. Members of the Conservancy's volunteer Texas Board of Trustees who also served as Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission members include Tim Hixon, Carol Dinkins and Mickey Burleson.
Smith said the two organizations continue to work today in partnership on many conservation issues throughout Texas, including private lands conservation, protection of rare animals and plants, freshwater conservation, promotion of nature tourism, scientific research, conservation assessment and local land trust development.
