The All-Out Blitz is a website created and launched by 24-year old sports editor Ben Heck in April of 2010. Looking for a way to express and share his vast football knowledge, Ben chose to take his talents to the internet and begin a year-round NFL blog for readers all over the nation. For three years, the All-Out Blitz was housed on a blogspot.com page, where it had 400+ articles and racked up over 50,000 page views. Deciding he needed to expand his readership, Ben made the decision to branch the website away from the blogspot page and purchase his own domain: bensalloutblitz.com. Bringing you bias-free football coverage on a 24/7/365 basis.
Throughout the past six and a half years, AOB has published over 1,900 articles, interviewed 75+ figures in the football industry, and garnered hundreds of thousands of page views.

Expecting twins, Mauer excited about fatherhood
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It's only fitting that catcher Joe Mauer and his wife, Maddie, are expecting twins.
Mauer, who has spent his entire career with the Twins organization since being drafted by his hometown team as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 First-Year Player Draft, said he's excited about the prospect of being a father. The couple married in December and the twins are due in late August.
"It's unbelievable," Mauer said. "What a blessing. I'm just very excited and very happy. I really couldn't believe it at first. It's still kind of a shock. It's starting to hit me now that we're starting to tell people. I'm just very excited."
Mauer said he'll wait to find out about the gender of the fraternal twins but joked that it's killing his dad to know. Mauer added that his experience as an uncle will help, as his older brother Billy has three children and his older brother Jake, who manages the organization's Class A team in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has two kids.
"I'll be doing it all," Mauer said with a smile. "I'm excited for it. I've seen how having kids have changed my brothers. So I've had practice with them. I'm looking forward to it."
Mauer, 29, is having himself another impressive Spring Training, hitting .375 (3-for-8) with a .615 on-base percentage in four games. He's set to leave Twins camp on Sunday for Arizona to join Team USA for the World Baseball Classic.

Chairman Smith, Ranking Member Bass, and Members of the Subcommittee, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today. I appreciate your continued interest in how U.S. policies and assistance can help the people of Zimbabwe build a peaceful and stable democracy in which prosperity is available to all. I would also like to thank the Assistant Secretary and the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Africa at the Department of State for their leadership on this issue.
Since the political and economic crisis of 2008, Zimbabwe has been in the process of a protracted and difficult transition toward economic normalcy and greater democracy. But the nation's intermittent progress has often been matched by daunting setbacks. While the economy has slowly stabilized since the disastrous crisis of 2008, the recent, deeply flawed elections represent a disturbing political and democratic setback from the cautious and sober optimism five years ago at the formation of the Government of National Unity (GNU).
Since the formation of the Government of National Unity (GNU) in 2008, the United States and other international donors have played an important role in promoting reforms and providing humanitarian and development assistance in order to promote economic and social stability. Although we've seen measurable progress in certain areas, the recent elections in Zimbabwe raise concerns regarding how the United States should continue to support democratic and economic development. The international community questioned the fairness and credibility of the election results and called on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to investigate reports of serious irregularities. The Deputy Assistant Secretary has spoken in substantial detail about the elections and the reaction of the United States Government to them. They were neither credible, nor free nor fair. In the weeks leading up to the July 31st elections, domestic, regional and international observers began to signal that the Government of National Unity had failed to uphold or enforce the implementation of critical electoral reforms, which threatened the prospects for a credible election process. Just after the announcement of a landslide victory for ZANU-PF and the incumbent president, Robert Mugabe, the United States questioned whether the election results truly reflected the will of the Zimbabwean people. In his statement on August 3rd, Secretary Kerry described circumstances that point to a deeply flawed election process, including irregularities in the provision and composition of the voters roll, the candidates' unequal access to state media, the failure of the security sector to safeguard the electoral process on an even-handed basis, and the Zimbabwean government's failure to implement the political reforms mandated by Zimbabwe's new constitution, the Global Political Agreement, and the region.
In the same statement, Secretary Kerry also reaffirmed that "the United States shares the same fundamental interests as the Zimbabwean people: a peaceful, democratic, prosperous Zimbabwe that reflects the will of its people and provides opportunities for them to flourish." In the aftermath of the Zimbabwean elections, it is critical that the USG continue its commitment to stand by the Zimbabwean people in their quest to improve their lives and participate in their own governance. The U.S. Government declared its solidarity with the people of Zimbabwe and will continue to examine ways of providing support to them for democratic reform, improved health, food security, and nutrition, as well as ongoing humanitarian aid.
USG assistance in the past few years has contributed significantly to improving the lives of ordinary Zimbabweans. The USG provided support to get the health sector functioning after a near collapse in 2008/2009 and to improve livelihoods and agriculture production in order to help Zimbabweans escape dependence on external food aid, but the USG also was able to effectively promote political and economic reforms that promoted stabilization and growth of the economy. The United States should support interventions that preserve the gains of the past few years—working jointly with Zimbabwean partners of good will, including civil society, private sector and local organizations, to prevent backsliding on economic and constitutional reforms. For example, should macroeconomic reforms occur, USAID will look for opportunities to encourage prudent fiscal management and also build public-private dialogue on economic issues. Other incremental but positive changes, embedded in Zimbabwe's new constitution and endorsed by the public in a national referendum, expand protections of liberties under the bill of rights and enhance gender equity. Protecting and consolidating these and other reforms will require continued action by the Government of Zimbabwe, vigilance by Zimbabweans, and, where appropriate, development assistance if action is to lead to sustainable change.
The United States will need to assess the choices that are made by the newly elected Zimbabwean government. While opportunities to pursue broad economic and political reform may recede, it is in the interest of the United States to maintain our commitment to helping the Zimbabwean people avert crises and live healthier lives. As a new Zimbabwean parliament takes office and a new cabinet is formed, the United States Government will strategically look for opportunities to enhance transparency and open democratic spaces. The USG stands with and supports Zimbabweans of good will both inside and outside of its institutions, including the nation's next generation of democratic leaders. Conversely, USAID will watch for signs of backsliding away from economic and political reform, political repression, and policies that could lead to the types of interrelated shocks and crises that have engulfed Zimbabwe over the last decade and pose a threat to regional stability. Programs and interventions will be adjusted according to economic, political and humanitarian realities. Going forward, USG assistance will focus primarily on humanitarian-plus approaches that address key concerns such as food security, nutrition economic resilience and basic health, while simultaneously promoting good governance and economic growth. At the same time, USAID will look for and act upon opportunities to influence policy formation and the development of regulatory systems with the aim to support Zimbabweans in their quest for economic prosperity and democratic governance. In FY 2012, USAID's program worked with six Commodity Industry Groups (CIGs), several industry associations, and several farmers' unions to develop their advocacy capabilities. In addition, the program assisted with the analysis of various policies and regulations, development of revised/new policies and regulations, facilitated stakeholder consultations, and assisted the industry groups in presenting the recommendations to the legislature or appropriate ministry. USAID will continue to evaluate effective ways to engage and work with Zimbabweans who share mutual goals. These may include national level partners, but equally those at the regional or local level with whom we partner on achieving sustainable results for the Zimbabwean people.
To increase food security and nutrition, a critical issue for Zimbabwe, USAID will continue to support a range of activities to provide economic opportunities to the poor, to improve their nutrition and hygiene practices, and to help rural farming communities to adopt better agricultural practices. These efforts will build Zimbabweans' economic resilience, reduce reliance on patronage systems for inputs such as seed and fertilizer, improve their crop yields, increase their incomes, expand their connections to markets, and facilitate much-needed access to credit. USG funded programs will also bring together agricultural input suppliers, producers, buyers, farmers' unions, and commodity associations to improve industry competitiveness and sustainability and advocating for improved policies and regulations at the national, provincial, and local levels. During FY 2012, the livelihood and value chain activities assisted 93,319 individuals engaged in rural farming and trading activities, through food security and nutrition technical assistance and training, as well as product and market development support. USAID programs also resulted in 73,576 hectares under improved management; 48,647 farmers applied new technologies or management practices, and 88,296 micro, small and medium enterprises received business development services.
A recent vulnerability assessment indicates that due to a poor agricultural season, as many as 2.2 million vulnerable people may require food assistance during the upcoming hunger season (September 2013-March 2014) - an increase from 1.6 million estimated in need from the prior year and the highest level since 2009. In anticipation of this season's humanitarian response, USAID has already provided nearly $15 million in food commodities and anticipates providing additional emergency food assistance resources before the end of this fiscal year. Support for emergency food needs provides the USG with an opportunity to directly, positively impact the most needy citizens in Zimbabwe, signaling our continued support of the people of Zimbabwe. USAID will also remain vigilant in reducing the risk for disasters and responding where urgent need occurs.
In the health sector, USAID's programs will continue to ensure access for Zimbabweans' to basic health care. This includes interventions to address the biggest causes of mortality in Zimbabwe, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. U.S. funding supports testing, diagnosis, treatment and prevention through medical commodities as well as training for health care professionals. In line with the president's Global Health Initiative (GHI) and the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the USAID program in Zimbabwe aims to make sustainable improvements to the overall health status of Zimbabweans. The number of persons reached with HIV testing and counseling services continues to increase dramatically. In FY 2012, PEPFAR-supported projects conducted 863,000 HIV tests for men, women, and children, against a target of 777, 950. The President's Malaria Initiative is also improving treatment for malaria patients and prevention for pregnant women – as a result 215 health facility workers and 1,851 community health workers are now able to test and treat malaria at the community level. USAID interventions in Maternal Neonatal and Child Health (MNCH) resulted in the percentage of women receiving treatment to prevent postpartum hemorrhaging immediately after birth increasing from 73 percent to 99 percent in two pilot districts. USAID support also helped to improve management of preterm newborns through revitalizing low-cost approaches such as Kangaroo mother care units in supported districts. Additionally, although the national maternal mortality rate remains high, in the two districts where USAID supports field-level maternal and child health service improvement effort, the crude maternal mortality rate has dropped from a baseline of 265 (per 100,000 births) in FY 2011 to 232 at the end of FY 2012.
In addition to support for the social sectors, USAID will continue to work with Zimbabwean civil society organizations whose missions include the promotion of human rights and democratic values, as enshrined in Zimbabwe's new constitution. Earlier this year, the Zimbabwean people peacefully and overwhelmingly endorsed this new constitution in a referendum with record voter turnout. USAID supported government and civil society efforts to advocate for key improvements as the document was being developed. On the government front, USAID was one of nine development partners contributing to the constitutional review process led by a Parliamentary Select Committee, under a program managed by the United Nations Development Program. To complement these efforts, USAID supported six Zimbabwean civil society organizations (CSOs) that identified key issues and advocated for critical legislative improvements. The new constitution explicitly incorporates key positions advocated for by these partners including an expansion of human rights protections, enhanced devolution of authorities, and increased gender equity. USAID efforts also enhanced community resilience to violence by equipping local leaders with skills to identify, resolve and manage conflict and concurrently supporting multimedia campaigns to promote peaceful participation in democratic practices so Zimbabwe's history of election related violence was not repeated.
Looking forward, USAID will focus on activities that will help Zimbabweans to realize the rights and freedoms promised by their new constitution and to move toward more transparent and accountable governance. At the community level, USAID programs will assist citizens and local leaders to effectively prevent and manage conflict.
Zimbabwe is now in the midst of transitioning from a unity government to one dominated by a single party as it was for the first twenty years after independence. In coming days, President Mugabe is expected to appoint the members of his cabinet. Despite the announcement of a clear political victory for Zanu PF, many uncertainties lie ahead. USAID will closely monitor: how the new government intends to turn campaign pledges into concrete policies and which priorities it will pursue first. We will closely follow how the market responds to political developments, signs of political repression and indications of the politicization of humanitarian assistance. These are all factors that will shape U.S. foreign assistance in the near future. One thing remains constant, however, and that is the USG's commitment to stand by the Zimbabwean people and through its assistance programs, offer support to those Zimbabweans who are committed to a more democratic and prosperous Zimbabwe.
Thank you Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Bass and members of the Subcommittee for the continued commitment you have shown to the people of Zimbabwe and your support for reform within their government. I welcome any questions you might have.

A mum of eight is battling back from tragedy by setting up a shop selling tutus and Teddies, writes Simone O'Kane
FINALLY after a tough upbringing and the tragedy of losing her baby to cot death, one East Lancashire mum can concentrate on achieving her dream.
Mum-of-eight Amanda Logan has recently opened her own shop after being given the opportunity by staff at The Mall in Blackburn.
Amanda who sells tutus and Teddy bears for children, says she has finally fulfilled her lifelong ambition and plans to grow the business, and to continue putting smiles on faces.
In 2000, the 40-year-old lost her son, Lewis, when he was just five months old so now Amanda makes memory bears especially for families who have lost a child.
"I was just 16 years old when I had my first child and I have always suffered from the grief. Lewis was 23lb when he was born, looking back, he wasn't well and was a complete tragedy that nobody should ever have to go through," says Amanda who studied dress- making at Blackburn College.
With her children Stacey, 23, Paula, 22, Shelley, 19, Dina, 17, Bradley, 15, Joshua, 14, Amy, 12, Amanda's life is hectic, as she also cares for her two grandchildren Lacie and Marley.
"It's hard when I am making the Teddies and more often than not I ball my eyes out. When families come to me, I can relate to them. I know it all too well and they like the fact that they can give their child a Teddy rather than a floral tribute. I found that when I was looking for flowers for Lewis it wasn't a welcoming experience," Amanda says.
But the creative dressmaker admits that without her husband Garry, who she lives with in Feniscowles, her business dream wouldn't be possible.
"I am not saying it's easy juggling family life but my husband is supportive. It's hard but worth it. I didn't want to be nothing for the rest of my life or just a mum. I am so happy to be in this position. My children are all very proud of me. I have always been a stay at home mum, so I went into this with no confidence but now the business is booming," says Amanda.
Despite being dyslexic and dyspraxic, and suffering from OCD, Amanda channels her energy into the business meeting the demands of her online and shop orders.
"I used to hoover up eight times a day but now it's under control and I am often up till 3am finishing off the orders.
"I have had a troubled upbringing so I see this as an escapism. I had a bad childhood so all these girlie things and tutus are my child-princess time. I am probably re-living my underprivileged childhood through my business."
But without support from The Mall, Amanda, who is in the final of the Retail Factor competition, admits she would not have been able to do this, after delivering a 'nerve-wracking' pitch to the bosses and winning a place in the pop-up shop.
"The pop-up shop opportunity has given me the chance and I believe in myself now."
For Amanda the business started from a hobby.
"I made my granddaughter a tutu and posted a picture on Facebook then the orders started coming in and that's what got me noticed. I am really happy with what I have done and it just shows that anyone can do it. Mums can have dreams even if it takes them longer than others to get them."

Hi all,
So, I'm visiting different Dhamma centres here in Singapore. Even though I grew up here I didn't get into Buddhism until I left the country years ago, so I'm taking this opportunity to acquaint myself with the 'Buddhist scene' here. I visited the Sasanaramsi Burmese temple and the Buddha Dhamma Mandala Society (BDMS) yesterday. I had a good chat with Ven. Dhammika at the BDMS, who coincidentally grew up in Melbourne. From his perspective as a Western monk, Buddhism in Singapore is on the whole not unlike Buddhism in other Southeast Asian countries, centred around merit making activities. That was impression I had of Buddhism in Singapore when I was growing up.
Anyway, here are some pics of the Burmese temple:

WWE's Most Underused & Underutilized Talents...
by, 08-30-2012 at 12:12 PM (10625 Views)
Hello all, Rob here once again, and in this blog, I am going to be listing some of the MANY talents that the WWE missuses (when they're even used at all).
Jack Swagger
Now, I'm going to start off my list with The All American American. It's hard to believe that this guy had a World Championship run. But, once the WHC was dropped from Swagger, his carrer in the E went sraight down the toilet. I assume that he will NEVER be in the main event card in his career with the E, but I think that he has the in ring ability, and the heel charisma to become a solid mid card talent, IF the E can book him well.
Zack Ryder
Woo Woo Woo! You..........yawn!!!!!! Haha, let me first off say that I hate Ryder. I respect that he got himself noticed in the E with his YouTube show, but this kid is just so boring. The "Jersey Shore" gimmick is so stupid. But, this kid was heavilly pushed at the beginning of the year, winning the United States Championship, actually getting airtime, and winning matches, and pay per view matches! But, he was another talent that McMahon pissed on, and put him in a "feud" with Kane, where he was made to look an absolute joke. From then on, he took time off tv appearences, dropped the title, and recieved little commission for his merch sales.
Santino Marella
My brother: "Hey, did you see Santino won the US Championship?"
Myself: "He won't do a damn thing with it."
Turns out I was correct. There are so many things wrong with Santino's gimmick, it baffles me that the E let him hold onto not only the US Championship, but the Intercontinental Championship as well. This is one of the few talents that I actually want to leave the E. Moving along....
William Regal
Probably, one of the most gifted wrestlers on the list, Regal's last memory as a semi-big part of the WWE was the on screen general manager a few years back. This man is extremely entertaining, he has great mic skills, and is flawless in the ring. Can someone please tell me what he did to piss McMahon off? I mean, for christs sake, he kissed the man's ass and isn't even used right, haha.
Entire Tag Team Division
Didn't think I would not talk about this? The tag team division has sucked for the better part of a decade, and I'm not going to lie, I thought that there was a glimmer of hope with the Prime Time Playas. But, after the E fired AW, I think it is over for those guys. But, the E needs more tag teams other than Kofi & Truth, PTP, The Usos, Gabriel & Kidd, & The Primos. I say, take some young talents from developemental, and throw them into the mix. Then it'd get a little interesting.
Entire Diva's Division
Another no brainer. This division is dead, and will remain dead, because in the eyes of McMahon and Trips, "Divas don't equal ratings, and sales." While this is true, enhancing the diva's divison will be a small improvement, and people will take notice. The more people take notice, the more ratings. I know that sounds like a far-fetched idea, but hey, it's worth a shot. Right?
I know what you're thinking, "But, he's the World Heavyweight Champion. How are they misusing him?" Hmm, opening matchup at Mania, boring storylines all year long, two to three repeats with the god awful Alberto Del Rio, and just overall, Sheamus is a boring face. Turn him heel again, and he can be used a lot better. Just look at his WWE Championship run.
This will be my final wrestler, but god. Where do I begin? Oh year, having Christian drop the WHC a week after he won it at Extreme Rules was a spit in his face, and to all of his peeps. His heel run was a joke, and after he returned from injury, he has done nothing, except hold onto the IC Championship for a while. Now that he dropped that title, he's back to jobber status. Christian, if you read this, just quit the E, and go back to TNA!!!!
Like I said earlier, there are MANY MANY more talents that the E misuses, but those on my list, are imo, the most misused. As always, leave feedback, and thanks for reading!!!! Oh, and comment on some blog ideas that you would like to see me write about. I love writing, but I lack creativity. I guess I am kind of like the WWE writers. BAZINGA!!! Haha, but I would really like some feedback on some future blogs you'd all like to see.

Tip of Champaign Co. Courthouse Hanging From its Base
The decorative tip of the Champaign County Courthouse is hanging by a cable from the ornate tower.
Sometime either Sunday or Monday, a four-foot piece of the spire disconnected from its base atop the courthouse clock tower, which was completed just two years ago as part of a $1.2 million restoration project.
Sheriff Dan Walsh says one lane of Urbana's Main Street as well as the adjoining sidewalk and closed for safety reasons -- and as a preparation for repair work tomorrow (Tues).
"There's supposed to be a crane in here if things go well, and people will be looking at it including engineers, so we'll have a better idea about what's going to happen and how quick and all that," Walsh said. "But until they actually look at it, anything that could happen would be a guess."
Walsh says the copper piece of spire is attached by a 1-inch thick cable to the rest of the tower.

" Type: Ice Cream "
These iced lollies are a welcome addition to my freezer on a baking hot day. Good for a quick, cold treat for adults or children it's a snack that's ready whenever you are. It's a Walls branded product (owned by Unilever) so you know you are going to get decent quality.
There are 8 mini twisters in the pack and they come in two flavours which mix the smoothness of ice-cream with the zestiness of real fruit juice: Pineapple ice cream with strawberry-lemon fruit ice and lemon fruit ice with lemon lime flavour. These delicious tangy/creamy flavours mix it up in your mouth and are wonderfully refreshing. There is a total of 312g of product in the recyclable box. These individually wrapped, mini-mouthfuls are just 45 calories per twister, 1g of fat per twister, of which 0.8g saturates, 9g carbohydrates of which sugars 7g and negligible amounts of protein and salt.
The ingredients are; water, sugar reconstituted skimmed milk, glucose syrup, lemon juice, strawberry juice, fructose syrup, stabilizers, flavourings, citric-acid, emulsifier, elderberry juice concentrate, beetroot juice concentrate, colour, spinach extract. There are no artificial colours or flavours in the product. The product must be stored at minus 18 degrees.
These lollies are a pleasure to look at. They are a work of art in themselves. These mini ones are smaller than the full size ones - I guess that goes without saying - but they are still attractive to look at with their swirling colours as the two different flavours form a corkscrew pattern which is interesting to look at as well as giving the lolly texture.
If the kids are short of entertainment whilst they are eating this lolly - they could always go to www.max-adventures.com where the happy lion brandishing his twister on the front of the box has lots of games lined up to play. I had a go in the Ice Temple but something called the 'shadow master' got the better of me. I'm not very dexterous at the old up and down arrow buttons on the keyboard.
I managed to eat a lolly though. Very nice. Currently (18/07/13) £2 per box or 2 for £3 at Asda.
Would recommend.
I have done a separate review about the large sixe Twister but a few months ago I spotted these Mini Twister in Asda. They were on a special offer at 2 packs of 8 for only £3.00! This is such a real bargain that I had to buy them. In fact I have continued buying them for about 2 or 3 months now. The offer has been on for ages. It may even still be on!
I really like these mini Twisters. They are actually easier to eat than the larger version; obviously they don't last as long, but they are just as delicious and ideal for anyone who is dieting. Also ideal for kids!
They only have a tiny 45kcals per Twister. These packs of Mini Twister have 4 Pineapple ice cream with Strawberry lemon fruit ice and 4 lemon fruit ice with a lemon/lime flavour.
Whoever created these deserves a medal. These little ice/ice cream lollies are oozing with flavour. Whenever I ask the kids which one do they want.... Green or pink, their answer varies. Basically they both almost seem like the same flavour but inside out! Personally I think I prefer the lemon/lime flavour ones, but they are both very Moorish. I don't feel bad if I have 2 of these in a row due to their low calorie content. The kids love them and now at last we have some hot weather, these are ideal!
Water, Sugar, Reconstituted skimmed Milk, Glucose syrup, Lemon Juice, Strawberry juice, Fructose syrup, Pineapple juice, Vegetable fat, Whey solids, Glucose fructose syrup, Stabilisers (locust bean gum, guar gum, pectin, carragennian), Flavourings, (citric acid, emulsifier (mono and diglycerides of fatty acids), Elderberry juice concentrates, Beetroot juice concentrate, Beetroot juice concentrate, Spinach extract, Colour (curcumin)
I will be going up to Asda again to see if Twisters are still on special offer as they don't last long in my household! Highly recommend and worthy of 5 Dooyoo stars in my view.
Walls 8 Mini Twister Ice Lollies.
I recently went into Sainsbury,s Supermarket with my little grandchildren, yes I know its hardly summer but they really fancied some ice lollies.I let them choose and they decided to choose these particular lollies.
After their tea we decided to get some lollies out, I guess that I was happy to purchase these lollies because they are without artificial colouring and flavouring, and as these tend to hype the grandchildren up thought these would be suitable for them.
They come in a carboard box, there are eight ice lollies in total inside, each one is individually rapped in a clear plastic wrapping, which is recyclable. There are two different flavours in this box, lemon and pineapple and which is twisted around a delicious strawberry centre, and pineapple and strawberry with a lime centre. I did try one myself, and the outside coating is delicious and creamy with a really great fruity taste, guess that it because they use real fruit juice when creating this product.
Calories : 45
Sugars : 7g
Fat : 1g
salt : 0.03g.
These are made by the well known and best trusted company WALLS.
They have a long sell by date on the side of the box.
Provides 2percent of your g.d.a,s based on a calorie controlled diet of 2000 kcals.
I really enjoyed these lollies they were fresh and reminded me of all those lovely summer days to follow, they are so refreshing and make a lovely change to desert for my lovely grandchildren, after a meal.
The center is my favourite bit as it was so fruity and really reminded me of those strawberry and cream days.
The lime has a real zing to it, and the white creamy outer coating was thick and creamy, all in all a really refreshing product that I shall be happy to purchase again.
\My grandchildren really enjoyed them and because they are not too large they eat them quite quickly, hence i didnt really see any drips around my house.
tHANKS FOR READING AND RATING MY REVIEWS.
Wall's Mini Twister ice lollies are fantastic and the ideal size for a child, although I personally love them too. They are really refreshing and I am looking forward to eating them on a hot summer's day (well I can dream, can't I!)
Wall's Mini Twister lollies come individually wrapped in cardboard packaging which is decorated in bright, summery colours, with close-up shots of the lollies and the fruit contained inside them.
There are two flavours in the box that I buy, which are pineapple ice cream with strawberry fruit ice and pineapple ice cream with lemon/lime fruit ice.
My favourite is the one with the strawberry fruit ice and the pineapple ice cream wrapped into the twist. Inside it has a solid cylinder of lemon/lime fruit ice. The strawberry ice is sweet and full of flavour and the ice cream is smooth, sweet and fresh. The lemon/lime cylinder of ice is also very tasty and has a sharp, tangy flavour to it. I love the combination of the soft, smooth ice cream and the crunchy, heavier textured fruit ice. The only thing I do not notice is the pineapple flavour, which is either very subtle or drowned out by the other stronger flavours.
Wall's Mini Twister lollies make an excellent treat and at only 45 calories per lolly, you don't have to feel guilty about eating one. They are also free from artificial colours and flavours and are made with real fruit juice.
I bought my box of eight in Tesco for £1.76. They are also for sale at the same price in Asda, but you can purchase 2 boxes for £3 at the moment.
If you are looking for some lovely ice lollies for the kids or are trying to keep your calorie intake down, then Mini Twisters are ideal.
I would be more than happy to recommend them and think they are worthy of 5 stars.
What an ideal product- a simple ideal but superb all the same!
A box of 8 mini lollies contain 4 pineapple flavour ice cream with strawberry lemon fruit ice and 4 lemon flavour fruit ice with a lemon and lime flavour.
They are simply a mini version of the full size product so you still get that delicious combination of a thirst quenching ice lolly and creamy tasty ice cream and they satisfy just the same as the full sized product, making them ideal for kids and with only 45 kcals and 0.8 saturated fat, ideal for those on a health kick too! (only 1 weight watcher point).
They do not contain any artificail colours or flavours and they even contain fruit juice!
Although fully recyclable, the packaging is not the most interesting box on the market but personally I feel its whats inside that counts.
There is however a quirky little story on the back about where the inspiration for the twister lolly came from!-Worth a read!
These yummy treats cost £1.89 for a box and as they are a frozen product they have a lengthy shelf life of approx 2 years!
Definitely recommend all year round!
Seing as it is such a sunny day, I thought I would review this while sitting in my garden in the sunshine after eating one of these. Perfect Ice Cream weather today.
I'm still on my diet. I've lost 1 stone and 9lb so far, and I kind of miss the spontanious treats that you would grab on said sunny day. Diet foodhas come a long way in the last few years, so I can still enjoy thing like this.
You buy these in a box of 8, and I paid £1.99 for them. Asda is selling 2 for £3 on a large variety of Ice Cream, so a little saving to be had. These are made by Walls. You get these in full sized Ice Cream lollies as well, but I think it is just the fruit flavoured ones in the full size, as I had the Chocolate one - yummy.
Yes, the Ice Cream is relatively small, but they only have 40 calories per Ice Cream, so I wasn't expecting something huge. It was just the right size so that I could have something sweet and not feel like I was missing out along with everyone else.
The Ice Cream is 2 kinds all twisted together. It is Chocolate and Vanilla. You see by the colouring where the Ice Cream twists around the stick, and the Rich Chocolate mixed with the Sweet Creamy Vanilla is a great combination.
The Ice Cream is wrapped individually in see through wrappers and in a sturdy cardboard box. The packaging isn't too exciting, just a creamy coloured box, with the Logo on the front and a picture of the Ice Cream.
This Ice Cream is quite soft, so it isn't really hard when you first take it out the freezer. I like it when it is softer, as I think you taste the creaminess more. This is just sweet enough and I think it tastes like it has more than 40 calories.
A great little Ice Cream, especially if you are trying to watch your weight.
My son loves these. I can't imagine there are many 5 year olds that don't like ice cream in general, and Twisters are very clever, twisting ice cream with fruit flavoured ice in a nice combination of flavours, textures and colours that make them appealing to kids and adults alike.
We bought a box of 8 of the mini Twisters last week for around the £1.50 mark. I'm not sure if this is the usual price or if they were on offer, but this works out at just under 20p per Twister.
There are two different flavours, although the flavours are the same in both, just in a different order. One is pineapple ice cream and lemon-lime ice which are individually twisted around the centre tube of strawberry ice. The other combo is the strawberry and lemon-lime ice switched around. My son prefers the lemon-lime on the outside as he likes the red in the middle. They bnoast zingy flavours as they're made with real fruit juice, and while this is true of the flavour, it's not too noticeable as to put you off.
Unlike a lot of ice creams, these don't melt as quickly once they're out of the freezer and out of their packaging. It makes them easier to eat and in a less hurried manner as well. I like ice cream, but I find that a lot of them you need to eat in double quick time or they'll melt too quickly and make a mess. I haven't yet had one of these melt on me. They're on wooden sticks that make them easy to hold, too.
One other bonus for us is that there are no artificial flavours or colours in them. My son has, sadly, inherited my hyperactive reaction to these, and so we aim to give him as few as possible. These Twisters are ideal, as not only do they not contain artificial flavours and colours, but they are mini, which gives him the impression he's having a whole ice cream, whereas in fact he's just having half of one, and is still just as content. Each mini Twister will give you 45 calories.
The Twisters are made by Walls, so you pretty much know you're going to get quality with them. The rest is down to personal preference and opinion, and in ours, these are a thumbs up. My son likes them, I like them, and I've just found out that my wife likes them, too, as she's eaten the last one wqithout telling me! Doh!
Whenever we were allowed an ice cream on holiday when I was little, me and my Brother both always chose a Twister!
Now re discovering that they sell Mini Twisters I had to buy them. They are so fruity and refreshing and just the right size even for an adult.
Again, as with most of the Walls variety ice's now, these are free from artificial colours and flavours, which is always a bonus!
I was surprised to read on the box that each Mini Twister contains only 46 calories. There is 6.9g of sugar and 1g of fat of which saturates is 0.9g. They do not have any artificial flavouring and colouring, which is another bonus.
I buy these from Tesco they currently sell at £1.61 for an 8 pack, but are occassionaly on offer for a bit cheaper.
They are great for the whole family, I don't mind giving my Daughter these as a treat.
Ok, so I know the weather hasn't been particularly nice the last week, but I'm afraid my kids have developed a taste for ice lollies, so here comes another lolly review!!
The product I will now review are "mini twisters".
The box is rectangular in shape slightly larger than most of the other boxes in the freezer at my local Asda store, hence the reason my son picked them!
There is a picture of one of the afore mentioned lollies springing across the box at an angle with pieces of fruit seemingly bursting out of it, this is to highlight the fact that these lollies now have added fruit juice, there are juicy, tangy lime wedges and succulent, vivid red strawberries, all very appealing to the eye.
The rest of the background colour is a mixture of subtle citrus colours that seem to bring the box alive.
Across the middle is the name of the product "mini twister", with the "I" part of the text actually a lolly, just in case you weren't sure what they looked like!!
The box contains eight miniature versions of the original twister lolly, perfect for little hands to hold, they all come in there own plastic see through packet.
As you un wrap one, or in my case two, you can't let one have one without the other! You notice that there are two different colour combinations enclosed, there is one with a central cylinder shaped barrel of ice, green in colour with a twist of ice-cream surrounding it, changing from blush pink to pale yellow as it snakes around the lolly and the second just has the colours the other way around, pink in the centre and green and yellow twisting around the outside.
The box reliable informs me that they are "pineapple ice-cream with strawberry fruit ice and lemon fruit ice with a lemon and lime flavour".
The taste is delicious, creamy and soft, with the fruit flavours bursting through. The one flavour that I cannot recognise though, even though I have read that it is one of the main flavours is the pineapple, I can only assume the reason for that is that it is a subtle flavour, adding a background depth to the lolly.
Again, as with most of the Walls variety ice's now, these are free from artificial colours and flavours, which is always a bonus!
Each mini twister contains - 46 calories
6.9g of sugar
1g of fat of which saturates 0.9g
That makes these 1 weight watchers point each. (For the weight watchers out there!)
These were purchased as part of an ongoing offer at my local Asda, 2 boxes for £3.00, bargain!
They retail singularly for around £1.77 a box.
These are a lovely little treat, for my kids and me (did I mention they were only 1 w.w point each!!) Again these take me back to my youth, as these were one of the lollies you could get from the local ice cream man, highly recommended!

"Two great flavours: Creamy pineapple ice cream and lemon fruit ice twisted around strawberry fruit ice; and creamy pineapple ice cream and strawberry fruit ice twisted around a lemon fruit ice."

Suspect in North Tahoe armed robbery guilty on 4 counts
September 23, 2013
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — A suspect in an armed robbery last winter at a North Lake Tahoe gas station has been found guilty on four felony counts, officials said.
According to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office, a district court jury on Wednesday found Jorge Miranda-Rivas, 19, of Incline Village, guilty of the following charges:
• robbery with a deadly weapon,
• discharging a weapon from within a structure,
• assault with a deadly weapon; and
• grand larceny of an automobile.

Miranda-Rivas played a key role in the Jan. 2, 2013, armed robbery at the Incline Village Chevron at 898 Tahoe Blvd., officials said.
Wearing a bandana as a mask, Miranda-Rivas struck the gas station's clerk, fired a revolver inside the store and fled with an undisclosed amount of money, according to previous reports.
A WCSO investigation led to the arrest of Miranda-Rivas, who was 18 at time of the incident, and two juvenile suspects on Jan. 10. A fourth suspect, Jorge Torres, 19, of Kings Beach, was reportedly arrested in January by the Placer County Sheriff's Office on a related auto theft charge.
All four North Tahoe residents allegedly were involved with or had knowledge of the Chevron robbery and an attempted armed robbery involving a masked suspect on Dec. 29, 2012, at Kings Beach Liquors at 8645 North Lake Blvd., according to previous reports.
Authorities also connected the quartet to the stolen vehicle, which was involved in an accident in Tahoe Vista on Jan. 5, 2013.
One of the juveniles, 17, pleaded guilty and is serving his sentence in the Jan Evans Juvenile Justice Center, WCSO Det. Greg Sawyer said Friday.
The other juvenile has since turned 18, Sawyer said. Kevin Anguiano, of Incline Village, faces felony charges of robbery with a deadly weapon and grand larceny of an automobile.
Torres pleaded guilty to one grand larceny of an automobile charge and faces 1-6 years in prison; he will be sentenced at a later date, Sawyer said.
According to WCSO, Miranda-Rivas is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 7. He likely faces several years in prison.
The Placer County Sheriff's Office and California Highway Patrol assisted WCSO in the investigation.
"The successful prosecution of this violent crime was the result of an intense effort by staff from every division within the Sheriff's Office, along with our partner agencies, who are dedicated to fulfilling our commitment to provide for the safety and security of the public," WCSO Undersheriff Tim Kuzanek said in a statement.

Grant writer honored for role in mental health crisis training
By Gregory Connolly
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — During a police officer's day-to-day interaction with the public, chances are he or she will run into a person with mental illness — knowing what to do in that situation is paramount.
That's why Joan Lucera has committed so much time in recent years to bringing Crisis Intervention Team training to Historic Triangle law enforcement organizations. The weeklong course — which more than 85 area police officers have now completed — offers officers the training they need to effectively communicate with people in a mental health crisis.
Lucera wrote the grant that secured funding for a coordinator for CIT in the area when she worked for Colonial Behavioral Health. In addition to writing the grant, Lucera crafted a plan to implement the training.

Components 101: Suspension Fork
Suspension forks are now commonplace on mountain bikes and available on some hybrid bikes. Here are three important key terms to consider:
(1) Travel - this is the amount of movement in the suspension fork when pressure is applied. Travel can be externally adjusted by turning a knob on top of one of the legs on more expensive forks. In mountain biking greater travel is beneficial for riding downhill, but less for climbing.
(2) Rebound - this is the rate at which the suspension fork bounces back after it has been depressed. This can be adjusted on most forks to alter the feel of the bike.
(3) Lockout - this turns off the suspension so there is no travel whatsoever. Some mountain bikes do this for road use or when climbing as it can make the bike more efficient.

Anxiety and Stress Disorders
Anxiety which I can`t control
I face a problem which friends and family regard it as insignificant and says that its a limitation in mind. I dont believe so. I am not strong. Whenever i pick something heavy, my hands shiver. People who I know ask why do I shiver so much. When they ask me to hold out my hand, its never still...they see it shivering which I admit it is. And the other problem is with regard to me being at the wheels. whenever I am in my vehicle, I experience emotionally strange sort of behaviour. I start shivering and my legs start shaking violently. The fear of accidents and failure becomes enslaving and totally controls me. I become totally depressed and ashamed that I cant drive 4 wheelers. Please advise on my road of action that I should follow....
Some of the things that you are describing are not inconsistent with an anxiety disorder. Other individuals (family and friends) at times do not realize the significance of anxiety symptoms and how they are so troubling for many patients because the seem to be functioning is well in so many areas of their life.
It is difficult to rule out though if multiple things are contributing to some of your difficulties. I would start with explaining these difficulties to your primary care physician but also discuss the possibility of a psychiatric consultation to clarify some of these difficulties.

On the last day before Christmas break, crossing guard Esther Munguia always brings candy canes to hand out to the kids at Chatsworth Park Elementary School.
But on Friday, the mood was hardly festive.
"As I was driving here, I was almost in tears, because I'm thinking, `How are the parents dealing with this right now?' " she said as she stood outside the school. "This is the place where our kids are supposed to be safe."
In Los Angeles, as police stepped up patrols and school officials assessed security plans in the wake of the mass school shooting in Connecticut, parents faced their own choices.
Should they tell their kids what happened or wait for them to bring it up? If they talked about it, what should they say?
As she walked up to Chatsworth Park Elementary just before dismissal, Stephanie Foreman hoped her 5-year-old daughter hadn't heard about the shootings. And she didn't plan to tell her about it.
"I just don't want her to be afraid," Foreman said.
Jerry De La Torre said he figured his son, who's 10, had already heard what happened. He said he planned to remind him to pay attention to what's around him because you never know what can happen.
When he heard reports children as young as 5 were among the victims at the school in Newtown, Conn., De La Torre immediately thought of his nephew, a kindergartner at Chatsworth Park.
"They're still babies," De La Torre said. "They don't know what's going on."
Though there were no threats in L.A., city police and county sheriff's deputies stepped up patrols around schools to reassure people.
Los Angeles Police Department officers were directed to provide additional patrols to local school campuses on Friday, said Los Angeles Unified School District Police Department Chief Steve Zipperman. Those extra patrols will continue when students return from holiday break on Jan. 7.
`We know there are nerves rattled," said Zipperman, appearing at a downtown press conference to discuss safety measures at LAUSD.
The school police force deploys more than 200 officers throughout the district on campus and nearby areas for patrol, Zipperman said. Additionally, every campus within LAUSD has a school safety plan in place.
There are 457 elementary schools in LAUSD. There are no armed school police officers stationed at elementary schools, Zipperman said, but officers are on call to respond to emergency situations.
The elementary schools have "closed campuses," meaning a stranger can't simply walk into a classroom. The layouts of the schools vary, but it most cases, visitors have to enter through the main office and be allowed to access the rest of the area.
Also, LAPD and LAUSDP officers also are certified yearly in active shooter scenarios, he said.
"This is something that we train for...this is something that every school does," Zipperman said.
Still, he acknowledged there are limitations to what his department can provide in terms of campus safety.
"If someone wants to jump a fence, they're going to," he said.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck expressed sympathy for the victims of the Connecticut shooting and their relatives.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families in Connecticut and all who are affected by this unspeakable act," Beck said in a written statement. "The LAPD is totally committed to work with our LAUSD and private school partners to ensure that our students and staff are safe."
Already, following Tuesday's fatal shooting at an Oregon mall, LAPD officers had been talking at roll calls about how to handle shootings in public places, Lt. Paul Vernon of the Mission Division said.
At Chatsworth Park Elementary, Friday afternoon looked much like any other as kids laughed and played outside, waiting for their parents to pick them up.
Munguia's candy canes sat next to a stuffed Santa on a chair on the sidewalk, and she handed out the treats to children after helping them cross the street.
But some of the parents walking up to get their kids were red-faced as they considered the conversations they might have in a few minutes. Several didn't want to talk.
"I'm here to pick up my daughter," one woman said in a choked voice.
Foreman said she almost came to pick up her daughter early from school Friday, thinking she could keep her safe.
After thinking of how far away the shootings were, she reconsidered. Intellectually, she knows her child is safe in school. But emotionally, it was a tough call.
"I just wanted my kid," Foreman said.
That was a common sentiment. Parents across the country, including President Barack Obama, spoke of hugging their children a little tighter Friday.
De La Torre said the tragedy was a reminder to do that every day, as he does with his son.
"Every morning, I tell him, `I love you,' and I give him a hug," he said.

LaRoche leads Nats' homer charge vs. White Sox
WASHINGTON -- First baseman Adam LaRoche has battled through this before. He's dealt with slow starts throughout his career, so even though he wasn't thrilled to be 0-for-15 for the season after his first two at-bats on Tuesday night, he could deal with it.
LaRoche changed things quickly. He blasted a two-run homer in the sixth and added a solo shot in the eighth, both crucial parts of a four-homer effort that helped the Nationals pull out an 8-7 victory over the White Sox at Nationals Park.
LaRoche had missed Washington's previous two games with a strained muscle in his mid-back. Manager Davey Johnson said before the game that LaRoche had gotten everything loosened up and was ready to play. Johnson said afterward that LaRoche's slow start hadn't concerned him too much.
"I wasn't worried about him," Johnson said. "He's hit some balls hard. I liked the way he was swinging the bat. He's a smart hitter."
LaRoche was nervous about his back because it was so tight in Cincinnati over the weekend. The slow start, well, that didn't seem to concern him as much either.
"First series, to look up and see zeros for a batting average is OK," LaRoche said. "You get into the second week of the season, that's never a good feeling to look up there and not have a hit. I felt great that first series at home, I just couldn't get the ball to fall. To come back and get a couple [tonight] was nice."
The Nationals (5-2) had been struggling at the plate throughout the first two series, and were just 10th in the National League going into the game in team average -- batting only .224 before this Interleague series began.
Even so, the team's power stroke remained intact. The Nationals ranked fourth in the NL in homers, with 10, and they've now banged out 14 in seven games, with help from up and down the lineup.
"We have a really balanced lineup," said Jayson Werth. "It's tough on matchups. It's tough on pitchers."
Werth was one of the hitters who made life tough on the five Chicago pitchers, hitting a home run and finishing 2-for-4 with three RBIs and going past the 500-RBI mark for his career. He now has 502 RBIs.
Werth and LaRoche each crushed a two-run homer off Chicago starter Jake Peavy (1-1) in the sixth, giving Washington a four-run lead. Ian Desmond had hit a solo homer earlier.
Chicago (4-3) used some late power to make the game interesting. Paul Konerko belted a three-run homer off Tyler Clippard in the seventh to cut the lead to one run. The Nationals added a run on Werth's RBI single in the seventh and another on LaRoche's solo homer in the eighth.
That gave the Nationals a three-run lead, but the White Sox closed the gap in the ninth against closer Rafael Soriano. Alex Rios hit a two-run homer with two outs before Soriano retired Konerko to lock up his third save.
"They were swinging the bat," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said about the Nationals. "They'd get a lead, and we'd try to catch back up. They're very talented. When you lose, you always look at the fact that you lose. But we kept battling back and getting close."
Chicago did a good job working the count against starter Gio Gonzalez. The hard-throwing lefty gave up just one run on four hits and struck out seven but lasted only five innings after throwing 99 pitches.
The White Sox constantly worked counts deep on Gonzalez -- he needed 33 pitches just to get through the first inning -- but he hung on and made it through five. Craig Stammen (2-0) got the win after pitching the sixth inning.
The bullpen gave up six runs on seven hits in four innings after Gonzalez exited, but LaRoche and the power of the Nationals saved the day.
"You look at this lineup,and the power from eight guys capable of putting up a lot of home runs in a year is huge for us," LaRoche said. "At any time we could be down three or four runs, and we're a swing away from being right back in it. Powerful lineup with powerful pitching, that's a good combination."

WILLOUGHBY, Ohio (AP) -- A 13-year-old boy in northeast Ohio has entered the equivalent of not-guilty pleas to charges that he stole a search-and-rescue dog.
The boy's public defender told The News-Herald of Willoughby (http://bit.ly/Uux5T2 ) that he entered the pleas in juvenile court Wednesday.
The boy was accused of stealing the dog in Kirtland in September, when he was 12. He was charged with theft of a police dog and grand theft, both felonies. He also faces misdemeanor counts of harassing a police dog and criminal mischief.
The dog is part of Big Creek Search Dog Team, which assists law enforcement and other agencies in searching for missing people.
The dog's owner, Willis Rosch, told the newspaper he wants the youth prosecuted "to the fullest extent of the law."

More on BP Oil Spill; Restriction Orifice Sizing
Could Properly Designed Safety Controls Have Prevented the Loss of the 11 Lives in the 2010 BP Oil Spill?
"Ask the Experts" is moderated by Béla Lipták, process control consultant (http://belaliptakpe.com) and editor of the Instrument Engineers' Handbook (IEH). He is recruiting contributors for the 5th edition of the IEH. If you would like to contribute by updating an existing or preparing a new chapter, or if you have questions for our team of experts, please write to email@example.com.
Q: In the August 2010 issue (www.controlglobal.com/articles/2010/OilBlowouts1008.html), you described how the BP blowout could have been prevented by correctly designed controls. My question is this: Once the blowout started, could properly designed safety controls have prevented the loss of the 11 lives?
Harold Crowney
A: The absolute minimum safety requirement in any industrial application is to detect the presence of flammable gases and automatically shut down all ignition sources, including electric devices if they are present. Flammables or smoke should be detected by multiple sensors configured in redundant or voting systems. All safety devices should also be tested quarterly.
In case of the BP rig, neither the regular nor the safety controls were properly designed or maintained. As I wrote in August, the BP operators first injected foam cement into the well to plug it, and because they knew the integrity of the cement job was questionable (the cement was unstable), they checked if the plug would hold by using the "let us see if it blows" method. In other words, they reduced the force (the weight of the column of heavy mud) holding down the cement plug by replacing the mud with a column of light sea water to see if it still held. It did not.
Once the well started to blow, the emergency safety responses were even worse because there was no automatic response at all. It was left to the operators to manually activate the blowout preventer (which did not work, because it was neither tested nor maintained). They also had to manually shut down all ignition sources, including sparking electrical equipment when the presence of flammable vapors was detected. Even after the operators smelled the gas, these potential ignition sources were kept in operation.
In addition, even if the operators attempted to activate the shutdown controls, it would have required the operation of 30 switches and buttons to do so. Similarly, it was left to them to manually activate the switch that would have disconnected the rig from the well so that it could move away. Finally, even after the explosions and fire, the "abandon rig" alarm was still not activated because it too had to be manually activated. In short, lives were lost because the safety controls were badly designed and because they were operated under manual control.
The lesson to be learned is that all life-protection safety controls should be fully automatic. This is an absolute requirement, because if their activation is left to panic-stricken and poorly trained operators carrying out vague instructions, such accidents are unavoidable. The argument that false alarms due to sensor failure can be expensive is no excuse. The answer to such arguments is to select reliable sensors, use them in a redundant or voting configuration, and properly maintain them.
Therefore, it is not the operators who should be held responsible, but the designers of the control systems and the inspectors whose job should have been to check the design and operation of the safety systems. Naturally, the ultimate responsibility falls on the owners, who considered cost and schedule to be more important than safety.
The lesson to be learned from this disaster is that the entire deep sea drilling industry should be regulated and be forced to live up to the requirements of a predetermined minimum safety standard which includes the requirement that all life safety systems must be completely automatic (see Table 1). Process control engineers and the ISA should play a major role in developing the required safety standards.
Bela Liptak
Q: What are the globally accepted standards and formulas used for sizing restriction orifices. I understand that there is some formula in the Miller's handbook. Is this the only method?
Deepesh Govindankutty
A: The restriction orifice is just another orifice which is installed not to measure, but to limit the flow (see chapter 2.15 of the Instrument Engineers' Handbook). In the case of gas flow, as long as the pressure upstream of the orifice is more than twice the pressure downstream of the orifice, the gas flow through the oriface will be "choked," and the gas will flow at ultrasonic velocity.
Under choked flow conditions, the flow through an orifice is proportional to the upstream pressure. It should be understood that choked flow limits only the velocity. Therefore, if the upstream gas pressure increases, the density of the gas also increases; and, therefore, the mass flow rate also increases. If you know the up- and downstream pressures and the properties of the gas, you can calculate the area of the restriction (A) for any discharge coefficient (C) or if (A)(C) is known, you can calculate the flow by using the equation below:

HI Mike! I believe it because the Buddha said it. Please see the top post on page 35 of "the great rebirth debate" thread where I quote Bhikkhu Bodhi explaining it.

This past summer, the Florida Department of Education warned school districts across the state that a general revenue shortfall could lead to a 4 percent cut in funding.
Deterioration of the housing market was fingered as the main culprit.
Lo and behold, they were right, as each district had their take shaved by 4 percent.
In Levy County, that added up to slightly more than $634,000.
Now just three months later, more storm clouds are on the horizon.

HRC kisses WH posterior, attacks SU's Nicholson for DADT challenge to Valerie Jarrett
As you know, Servicemembers United released a statement asking HRC National Dinner keynoter White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett to meet with DADT repeal proponents.
HRC has already issued its air kiss to the Obama administration as the nation's largest LGBT advocacy organization's National Dinner is tonight. The Obama administration, which to date has done everything to retard DADT repeal, and has accomplished zero of the promised equality gains to the LGBT community, clearly has the organization in its pocket. (The Advocate):
HRC president Joe Solmonese in a Friday release called Jarrett's attendance "a tremendous addition to the event. … She and President Obama both care deeply about equality and are strong supporters of those of us fighting for LGBT rights."
I'd love to see what efforts would come out of this WH if it didn't "care deeply."
In response, Alex Nicholson of Servicemembers United said:
"We certainly do not feel like the White House is a 'strong supporter' of gay and lesbian troops and veterans right now. To ignore the reality of the administration's choices, a reality manifested in our daily lives, while appearing at a party hosted by an organization that has given cover to this administration would be incredibly insulting."
And in what can only be described as a statement of an organization in internal political freefall, HRC's vice president of communications Fred Sainz said this today, as the organization's national "No Excuses" dinner is about to get under way:
"These latest hijinks by Nicholson are part of a troubling pattern of irrational, unprofessional, and unproductive behavior," Sainz said. "[Nicholson's] rant is also without substance. The Administration helped to craft the legislation that was successfully voted on by the House and the Senate Armed Services Committee. Never before has a Defense Secretary or a Joint Chiefs chairman publicly supported repeal. This president got them there, and for that, he deserves our gratitude."
Who's classy now? I thought it was the blogging set that had no couth, devolved discourse into personal attacks and was politically unsophisticated. What makes this doubly disgusting is that HRC has been on the inside of the DADT policy "planning" (for what that's worth), and knows full well that this adminstration played the community.
It's clear HRC doesn't want to take responsibility for what has gone wrong under its watch, that it has no juice with an administration that took the money and ran (but threw a few cocktail parties for the insiders), and tossed the community Cinderella Crumbs to tout at the dinner (crumbs can be rolled back by a future anti-gay president).
I contacted Alex Nicholson for a response to Sainz's outlandish attack. He said:
"When the spokesperson for the largest gay organization stoops to vicious personal attacks against committed, unpaid staff of the smallest gay organization, you know there's a problem with the former. While I have more professionalism, rationality, and class than to return the favor and attack Sainz personally, I think this official 'response' from the Human Rights Campaign speaks volumes as to who is truly holding the administration's feet to the fire on 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'"
What else will it take for the HRC apologists to see that under its current leadership, has failed miserably, and has developed a circle-the-wagons attitude rather than admit fault. It would rather publicly try to shame SU or anyone not willing to shut up and fall in line behind HRC as the voice of the community. When you brand yourself as "the community", you can't pretend you're the outsider and had no role in letting this administration and Congress crap on "the community."
We need better leadership if HRC is supposed to be working on our behalf. Someone please stop this embarrassing madness.

St. Mary's Health spokeswoman Laura Forbes said 560 patients at an Evansville clinic received injections of the steroid made by Framingham, Mass.-based New England Compounding Center, and between 50 and 60 of those patients received multiple injections.
Between 10 and 15 of the 250 patients that St. Mary's Health has contacted about the situation have reported symptoms consistent with fungal meningitis, Forbes said. Officials hoped to reach the remaining patients by Thursday evening.
Forbes said all of the patients received the spinal injections between July 1 and Sept. 28 at St. Mary's Surgicare Cross Pointe, an outpatient surgery clinic.
"We're taking it very seriously," she said. "We're advising them to go to their nearest emergency room."
The Indiana State Department of Health did not identify the location of the patient with the confirmed case of meningitis.
The department said in a statement it knows of six facilities — located in Evansville, Fort Wayne, Elkhart, South Bend, Terre Haute and Columbus — that received the tainted batches of the drug, called methylprednisolone acetate. All six have begun recalling the product and notifying patients.
New England Compounding Center recalled the back medication after it was linked to the fungal meningitis outbreak that already has killed five people and sickened dozens nationwide.
Federal investigators this week found contamination in a sealed vial of the steroid at the Massachusetts company, according to Food and Drug Administration officials. Tests are under way to determine if it is the same fungus blamed in the outbreak.
Vanderburgh County health officer Dr. Ray Nicholson said only one person has been hospitalized. He said the health agency has asked all the hospitals and surgery centers in the area to check the lot numbers on their supplies to determine if they had received any of the tainted steroid.
The type of fungal meningitis in question is not contagious, but Nicholson said it has a long incubation period.
"The whole problem is the incubation period for this fungus is a long time ... even up to 90 days," Nicholson said. "So we're gonna have to have surveillance here for quite a while."
The disease is often fatal, he added.
"It's a very high mortality rate if you get it," he said.
