This tea is my morning ritual - period. I enjoy it on many levels from preparation to consumption. It really is spectacular. The packaging for the 5lb bag however, is a bit...wonky. The bio-degradable material is susceptible to ripping and tearing in unexpected ways making it really unusable as a daily container. When I get a new bag, I typically empty it out into a large air-tight container, and in turn use that container to grab the tea for preparation. The last bag I got also had very weak seams - which were already split when I took the bag out from the shipping box. If it weren't for the bag, I would have given this product 5 stars.

Mate is part of my morning, first thing. I look forward to it, and it always hits just the right spot. I get the flavor I want, I get all the health benefits I need. When I'm on the road and I can't get it, I miss it all day long. Thanks Mate! You do good things for my life!
This was the only tea I have found that could replace my morning coffee. After trying about 20 different teas this was the one that gave me the same wonderful wake-up feeling. Better yet, I did not have the negative effects that I got from coffee. It picks you up without any jitters. I brew this in a drip coffee maker with a single bag of Magical Mint Mate and add a little raw honey for my perfect way to start my day. This morning brew is delicious. I have been drinking this now for about 6 years and I don't miss my morning coffee ever.
Over the years I've consumed various mate brands. Guayaki has a great selection. The company ethic is stellar and I happily pay a bit more to support it. This is one of those companies, like Patagonia, that is trying to do business headed in a sustainable direction. Keep up the good work.
I ordered another 5 lb. bag of loose leaf mate last month. Was a touch leary of the new biodegradable bag, just because it was something new. But as soon as the product arrived it was clear the product and bag met the very high Guayaki standards my husband and I have come to expect. The tea is, as always, incredibly fresh and it is a morning staple in our home. We brew it in a French press because we bring our mate to the office. Thank you, again, for a super product.

A Mainer, I've been having bulk mate shipped to me for eleven years now! (I was the first tea buyer in Maine to carry Guayaki, at the health food store where I worked, before it had the distribution it has now. It's amazes me that Guayaki, while growing and growing as a company, is still constantly striving to create an ecologically, socially responsible product. The new biodegradable bags are too cool!
Guayaki is nothing but honest, enviromentally friendly,fair trade, good stewards of the earth, and thus I trust of their employees! It feels good to do business with them. Thank you Guayaki!
This is the epitome of excellence in yerba mate that you would expect from Guayaki. This is the most economical product that you can buy from this company. If you're a long time drinker like I am then it only makes sense to purchase the traditional tea here in the 5 lb quantity. Pros: Great deal for the money. One of the best deals on this tea there is. -When soaked in hot water for a short period of time these leaves make a beverage that tastes great -By sprinking this tea in a sacred geometric pattern and chanting the name of a video game character, that character will appear to you and guide you to a mastery of their respective game. Great for competetive online play. -One day I was thinking: "Man that was a cool bag I had, until my cat got into it and rolled around in it and stuff. -Gives +4 to intelligence & + 2 to stamina per use for 2 hours. Great for outsmarting and outrunning the cops -Can be used as the carpet in hamster cages. -Liquid resistant packaging. If you accidently set this down in a puddle of dog urine , your investment is protected. -Can be used as an incentive reward for all sorts of odd jobs that you need the local neighborhood kids to do. -Oral administration seems to increase libido in most people. When used strategically this practically pays for itself because hookers are expensive. -Cons: -Drinking this tea out of a gourd in public greatly increases your sucesptibility to unsolicited social interaction from random strangers, as well as suspicious looks from law enforcement officials. -Sometimes I'll use water that's too hot so when I drink it I burn my mouth a little, forcing me to wait intil it cools down to consume it. -Drinking this doesn't grant you the abillity to walk on water, so this isn't the best choice if you're trying to convince the cult you're running that you're the messiah. -Contains no canabinoids or traces of THC, so if I'm out of bud and this tea is all I got guess who's gotta walk over to Jeff's place to buy another bag. Other: -Frequent consumption may lead to wearing all hemp clothing and voting for the green party

I'm very happy as always with my tea, the dispatch and delivery time was as expected and on time, however i was very surprised and a little disappointed that i was charged a further ã32/$57 for customs charges before being delivered. I would have been very grateful if my parcel was marked as a gift, on this occasion it was not & would be happier knowing that for any future orders that this would be implemented. Kind regards

WOONSOCKET, R.I. — Starting this month, more than 2,000 CVS/pharmacy stores will have special in-store kiosks that showcase the latest trends and innovations in nail care, the retail pharmacy chain said Thursday.
Nail HQ will debut a former salon-exclusive – gel nail technology – with new products from SensatioNail and Sally Hansen. Nail HQ will also feature an array of new shade options and allow shoppers to view polish shades outside of the bottles through nail color strip displays. The Nuance Salma Hayek line, a CVS/pharmacy exclusive brand developed in partnership with actress Salma Hayek, will be introducing the 32-sku nail lacquer collection. In addition, nail brand essie will launch its newest collections at the Nail HQ every month.
The company said its support for the category stemmed from a 40% increase in nail care sales since 2011 and annual double-digit growth every year since 2008.
"With nail care sales booming, it's clear that customers are looking to CVS/pharmacy to find the latest innovation that the category has to offer," CVS/pharmacy VP beauty Cheryl Mahoney said. "With the launch of the CVS/pharmacy Nail HQ, we are able to feature a wide variety of the best new nail trends and technologies that [a customer] can experience in our stores and then apply for herself at home — all with the added convenience of shopping at her local CVS/pharmacy."

A business (also known as enterprise or firm) is an organization engaged in the trade of goods, services, or both to consumers.[1] Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and administered to earn profit to increase the wealth of their owners. Businesses may also be not-for-profit or state-owned. A business owned by multiple individuals may be referred to as a company, although that term also has a more precise meaning.
The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage to mean a particular organization; the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness; and the broadest meaning, which encompasses all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate and complexity of meanings.
Contents |
Although forms of business ownership vary by jurisdiction, there are several common forms:
There are many other divisions and subdivisions of businesses. The authoritative list of business types for North America is generally considered to be the North American Industry Classification System, or NAICS. The equivalent European Union list is the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE).Mill,
The efficient and effective operation of a business, and study of this subject, is called management. The major branches of management are financial management, marketing management, human resource management, strategic management, production management, operations management, service management and information technology management.[citation needed]
Owners engage in business administration either directly or indirectly through the employment of managers. Owner managers, or hired managers administer to three component resources that constitute the business' value or worth: financial resources, capital or tangible resources, and human resources. These resources are administered to in at least five functional areas: legal contracting, manufacturing or service production, marketing, accounting, financing, and human resourcing.[citation needed]
In recent decades, assets and enterprises that were run by various states have been modeled after business enterprises. In 2003, the People's Republic of China reformed 80% of its state-owned enterprises and modeled them on a company-type management system.[2] Many state institutions and enterprises in China and Russia have been transformed into joint-stock companies, with part of their shares being listed on public stock markets.
Business process management (BPM) is a holistic management approach[1] focused on aligning all aspects of an organization with the wants and needs of clients. It promotes business effectiveness and efficiency while striving for innovation, flexibility, and integration with technology. BPM attempts to improve processes continuously. It can therefore be described as a "process optimization process." It is argued that BPM enables organizations to be more efficient, more effective and more capable of change than a functionally focused, traditional hierarchical management approach.

Most legal jurisdictions specify the forms of ownership that a business can take, creating a body of commercial law for each type.
The major factors affecting how a business is organized are usually:
Many businesses are operated through a separate entity such as a corporation or a partnership (either formed with or without limited liability). Most legal jurisdictions allow people to organize such an entity by filing certain charter documents with the relevant Secretary of State or equivalent and complying with certain other ongoing obligations. The relationships and legal rights of shareholders, limited partners, or members are governed partly by the charter documents and partly by the law of the jurisdiction where the entity is organized. Generally speaking, shareholders in a corporation, limited partners in a limited partnership, and members in a limited liability company are shielded from personal liability for the debts and obligations of the entity, which is legally treated as a separate "person". This means that unless there is misconduct, the owner's own possessions are strongly protected in law if the business does not succeed.
Where two or more individuals own a business together but have failed to organize a more specialized form of vehicle, they will be treated as a general partnership. The terms of a partnership are partly governed by a partnership agreement if one is created, and partly by the law of the jurisdiction where the partnership is located. No paperwork or filing is necessary to create a partnership, and without an agreement, the relationships and legal rights of the partners will be entirely governed by the law of the jurisdiction where the partnership is located.
A single person who owns and runs a business is commonly known as a sole proprietor, whether that person owns it directly or through a formally organized entity.
A few relevant factors to consider in deciding how to operate a business include:
Most commercial transactions are governed by a very detailed and well-established body of rules that have evolved over a very long period of time, it being the case that governing trade and commerce was a strong driving force in the creation of law and courts in Western civilization.
As for other laws that regulate or impact businesses, in many countries it is all but impossible to chronicle them all in a single reference source. There are laws governing treatment of labor and generally relations with employees, safety and protection issues (Health and Safety), anti-discrimination laws (age, gender, disabilities, race, and in some jurisdictions, sexual orientation), minimum wage laws, union laws, workers compensation laws, and annual vacation or working hours time.
In some specialized businesses, there may also be licenses required, either due to special laws that govern entry into certain trades, occupations or professions, which may require special education, or by local governments. Professions that require special licenses range from law and medicine to flying airplanes to selling liquor to radio broadcasting to selling investment securities to selling used cars to roofing. Local jurisdictions may also require special licenses and taxes just to operate a business without regard to the type of business involved.
Some businesses are subject to ongoing special regulation. These industries include, for example, public utilities, investment securities, banking, insurance, broadcasting, aviation, and health care providers. Environmental regulations are also very complex and can impact many kinds of businesses in unexpected ways.
When businesses need to raise money (called 'capital'), more laws come into play. A highly complex set of laws and regulations govern the offer and sale of investment securities (the means of raising money) in most Western countries. These regulations can require disclosure of a lot of specific financial and other information about the business and give buyers certain remedies. Because "securities" is a very broad term, most investment transactions will be potentially subject to these laws, unless a special exemption is available.
Capital may be raised through private means, by public offer (IPO) on a stock exchange, or in many other ways. Major stock exchanges include the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Singapore Exchange, Hong Kong Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq (USA), the London Stock Exchange (UK), the Tokyo Stock Exchange (Japan), Bombay Stock Exchange(India) and so on. Most countries with capital markets have at least one.
Businesses that have gone "public" are subject to extremely detailed and complicated regulation about their internal governance (such as how executive officers' compensation is determined) and when and how information is disclosed to the public and their shareholders. In the United States, these regulations are primarily implemented and enforced by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Other Western nations have comparable regulatory bodies. The regulations are implemented and enforced by the China Securities Regulation Commission (CSRC), in China. In Singapore, the regulation authority is Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and in Hong Kong, it is Securities and Futures Commission (SFC).
As noted at the beginning, it is impossible to enumerate all of the types of laws and regulations that impact on business today. In fact, these laws have become so numerous and complex, that no business lawyer can learn them all, forcing increasing specialization among corporate attorneys. It is not unheard of for teams of 5 to 10 attorneys to be required to handle certain kinds of corporate transactions, due to the sprawling nature of modern regulation. Commercial law spans general corporate law, employment and labor law, health-care law, securities law, M&A law (who specialize in acquisitions), tax law, ERISA law (ERISA in the United States governs employee benefit plans), food and drug regulatory law, intellectual property law (specializing in copyrights, patents, trademarks and such), telecommunications law, and more.
Businesses often have important "intellectual property" that needs protection from competitors for the company to stay profitable. This could require patents, copyrights, trademarks or preservation of trade secrets. Most businesses have names, logos and similar branding techniques that could benefit from trademarking. Patents and copyrights in the United States are largely governed by federal law, while trade secrets and trademarking are mostly a matter of state law. Because of the nature of intellectual property, a business needs protection in every jurisdiction in which they are concerned about competitors. Many countries are signatories to international treaties concerning intellectual property, and thus companies registered in these countries are subject to national laws bound by these treaties. In order to protect trade secrets, companies may require employees to sign non-compete clauses which will impose limitations on an employees interactions with stakeholders, and competitors.

I think they will be pretty good as well, but I don't think it's out of the question that their defense takes a significant step back (i.e. being only top 20, rather than top 3). Their offense seems to have hit its stride, so they will have an above average unit on both sides of the ball. They will be a 9+ win team. |

Our linebackers have played very well this year, if you've been paying attention to Brian's UFRs. While UFRs not the be-all, end-all when it comes to evaluation, they carry more weight than what some radio hacks say about our linebackers based on observations from one game against one of the top offenses in the nation. EDIT: Ok, fine, Marcus Ray and Andy Mignery are not hacks, but my point still stands. The general consensus is that our linebackers are probably the strongest unit on our defense. |

About the ND game. In recent years it hasn't seemed like an overly tough road environment. In 2010 we pulled out the win and should have won in 2012. Not sure about who they lose/return, but my impression is that it will be your standard 8-4/9-3 type ND squad. It remains to be seen how well MSU can recover drom losing almost everyone on D. If Narduzzi leaves it will put another huge dent in that D. I think we can pull out the win if our offense finds some identity (maybe a big if). NW and Rutgers are gimmes. OSU will be undoubtedly tough but they will probably regress a little after losing their entire offensive line (after all, tjat happens to everyone, not just us, right? Right??) Either way it will be a close game. I'm thinking 3-2 or 4-1 if things roll our way. |
1 week 5 days ago | I really doubt that OSU |
I really doubt that OSU schemed conservatively on defense at all, much less after we were up 21-14. While the msu game was an embarrassment, this game was pretty indicative of how Borges wants to run the offense. I'm not sure why the offensive line seemed to play much better this game than any since ND, maybe chalk it up to the rivalry, but the play calling and execution in this game was where you expect it to be. At this point, I'm not sure canning Borges is the answer so much as riding out the storm that is this offensive line. |

They took a squad that had never won more than 7 games and won a BCS bowl. I'm guessing guys like Will Campbell disagrew with your assessment, and I'm pretty certain there's a direct quote from Mike Martin saying that this staff is light years ahead of the previous in terms of developing talent. People forget that this is one of the youngest teams in cfb, yet somehow expect sophomores and freshman to play like juniors and seniors. Some of them are. But the number one problem on this team is youth, not coaching. |

Hell, even if Michigan wins this game, they likely need to win out to go to the CCG. MSU has the easiest possible schedule (no Wisconsin, PSU, or OSU) and will probably not lose another game, unless they lose to Nebraska. The ideal situation would be a win for Michigan this weekend (obviously) and Nebraska beating MSU. That would give MSU two conference losses and virtually no chance at surpassing UM unless UM loses to someone they shouldn't. |

I'm not going to claim that Borges was even close to perfect in games earlier this year, but it's probably hard to call an offense when your offensive line has absolutely zero push and shoddy pass protection and a quarterback that turns the ball over when he's under pressure. The offensive line showed up in this game, and it remains to be seen if that's more because of the opponent (like part of the story, but IU can't be much worse up front than Akron/UConn) or because they are starting to work together well. |

Read the Mattison presser. The whole game plan was to take away the big play, and make them make mistakes in the short game. That's exactly what the defense did. Mattison was happy with the performance because they executed the game plan perfectly. I'm sure they would have been more aggressive had we not been up 14 points for most of the game. If you think about it, it's a pretty sound strategy. Rees is known to be a good passer, who occasionally makes mistakes. Make him get as few yards as possible each play - ~5 ypa - and rely on him to turn the ball over. Which he did. Sure, they gave up the yards, but they gave up almost nothing after the catch and they didn't allow a pass over 23 yards in 51 attempts. That's damn impressive. I don't think the defense did poorly given the game plan, and Mattison doesn't either. |
13 weeks 19 hours ago | I understand where you're |
I understand where you're coming from. Yes, we all remember 2007 (that was my first Michigan football game), but 2013 Akron =/= 2007 App State. Akron is a complete disaster of a team, and we can verify that. App State was a good team, but everyone brushed them off because they were FCS. In summary, I don't think you're wrong to maintain a mindset where anyone can win on a given day, but if there ever was a sure win, this is it. |

Reebok 9K KFS Hockey Gloves Sr |
Free Shipping!
Lowest Price Guarantee
The Reebok 9K KFS hockey gloves feature pro inspired nylon tricot for better breath-ability and lighter weight. The Reebok 9K gloves feature a contoured fit with excellent mobility from the seamless cuff design.
The 9K gloves features Nash leather palms with digi-tec overlays offering increased protection and stick feel. Reebok has used dual density foams throughout the 9K along with plastic inserts in the cuff and back-rolls to ensure an advanced level of protection.
The 9K glove features the seamless flex cuff. This feature really sets the Reebok KFS glove line apart from the rest of the gloves on the market. Reebok has used what they are calling an interior fit glove. This is the upper cuff portion that is separate from the cuff roll and it seamlessly attaches to the palm. This design style allows optimal hand movement while the upper cuff stays along the lower forearm to provide exceptional flexibility, while still offering high-end protection you would expect from a glove at this level. This gives the glove a great feel, almost resembling characteristics of a lacrosse glove.

Comments: So far I am extremely happy with the purchase of these hockey gloves. Coming from lower end Bauers to the near-top-of-the-line gloves is always a good step to take. The gloves look nice, feel even better with their anatomical focus all while providing me with a fit that improves my overall feel and play. Friends have tried them on and instantly notice the the snug fit on the knuckles yet with free range of motion on the wrist offers and excellent feel and maneuverability. These aren't super cheap, but are still priced at a point that will not break the bank.

Comments: I play in the premier mens league in boston..These gloves are great..love everything about them..they fit so well and handle the hard sweat of a competive league just fine..Cant comment on the life of the glove since ive only had them for a few weeks but I love them!!
From: Clark
Comments: These gloves rock! They feel like they are pretty much broken in even though they are brand new. Great protection with the plastic inserts but also lightweight and very mobile feel. Love the flex cuff and triple segmented index/middle finger for improved movement. 5/5

Correct way to phrase the question: "I have to ask where you, Walker, got the idea that Sherman's pioneers were black laborers. " Wrong way to phrase the question: "Now and then, someone drops a steaming pile of bull doodoo on the path of learning....." |

Totally admitted, Javal. I was most certainly out of line and overboard. And I do that now and then. I'd ask only that our people recognize that I can and do come off as a dork. I am not a reason to bail. If you feel oppressed because of what I have asked or commented on, you might be a bit too delicate to play on civilwarinteractive. |

Ole; you asked for sources on black laboreres being the only Pioneers in Sherman's Army. This is a patently incorrect statement w/ nothing I've ever read to back such a statement up. Strongly worded? Probably. bad geriatric Ole, no lutefisk. There were typically 20 pioneers per Regiment w/ a lot of contrabands earning rations and pay alongside, how many, I've read as many as 7000 recently freed slaves joined up w/ Shermans Army in Ga & SC in such a capacity w/ a large number marching in the Grand Review.

Thanks for the link Shane, And the soothing words. But your hat and pipe still suck. Are we going to do another thingy at Motor Mill this year? This is not going to be good year for playing. There is Charleston and Boise and Sioux Falls on the schedule, as well as Iowa City. Not much room or funds to go for another one. It might, however fall into a crack. It remains to be seen. ole |

Motor Mill has taken on a kind of life of its own, public are invited but every year seems to be haphazard about how many show up. So it's become a muster of sorts, more re-enactors less public. Probably 25 or so Infantry this year and maybe no civilians. |

I've enjoyed reading this thread on field fortifications. civilwarfortifications.com is a great website, as mentioned earlier. I always like to mention that a good place to go is North Anna Battlefield. Here you will see some of the finest preserved earthworks anywhere. This was Lee's famed "inverted V." Next time you are tooling down I-95, take exit 104, Mt Carmel Church (this is the first tour stop on a 7 stop tour route). Get a brochure at Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania Visitors Center or print one here http://www.nps.gov/frsp/nanna.htm You may also obtain tour guides for Yellow Tavern and Trevilian Station here. Unlike General Hancock, it's good to have a good map with you for North Anna. Get out of the car at Stop #5 and take about a one-mile hike into the woods to see some impressive earthworks, including different variations of traverses. When you've had your fill, it's only natural to move on to Cold Harbor, then Petersburg. Regards to all, ConnYankee |

And here I've been putting off reading this thread because I thought it might be dry and boring! (I'm still catching up on the threads I missed last month.) The information on fortifications is truly fascinating. "The CW was interesting period in that the tactics did change from a Napoleonistic form of warfare to the trench warfare as was so common in WWI. It's tactics were the predecessor of the Great War later to come." Very important point here! Remember how, in the W. Va. campaign early in the war, Lee's penchant for "digging in" earned him the derisive nicknames, "The King of Spades" and "Granny Lee". Well, the soldiers on both sides figured it out fast enough! My favorite fortification is the rapidly thrown together "Mule Shoe Salient" at Spotsylvania. As for the pioneers discussion, I'm emailing with a knowledgable friend about this, as I was also of the belief that a vast number of the pioneers in the Carolina campaign were black. At the risk of stirring the pot back up to boiling, I'm going to share some of the info he's sent me. I hope to make it to the library this afternoon to do a bit of fact-checking, but if I can't make it, I'll just share it as is. |

OK, I've been having this e-mail discussion with a friend about the whole pioneer thing. I am generally loathe to write things up without being able to quote direct sources, but I'm never gonna have the time to research this all myself. Anyway, that's what my friend was for: he researches - often, the older, very basic stuff - the archives dating back to the war. For some things he sent me his sources, but others include original research that he doesn't want to share, as they are "finds" for publication. Anyway, I had a bit to pick and choose from, and for now pulled out two paragraphs from our communications, thought I'd share them. "It is actually a complicated subject. Sherman did prefer black pioneers at this stage of the war, and his orders for the Savannah Campaign called for the organization of black pioneer battalions. During the Carolinas campaign elements of three USCT regiments performed pioneer duty with Sherman: the 106th, the 110th, and the 135th. Companies of the 106th & 110th joined Sherman at Savannah. The 135th was an entire regiment of freed slaves picked up in Georgia and the Carolinas by the 17th Corps (the only corps to organize the black pioneer battalion that Sherman had ordered). Although enrolled as an infantry regiment, the 135th only performed pioneer duty and was parceled out to the three divisions of the 17th Corps." "The majority of the Pioneers in Sherman's Carolina Campaign were black. Sherman had disbanded the "Pioneers" before Atlanta, actually there is more to it than that. So the "pioneers" of the Carolina campaign were not the earlier cohesive group. The name became a generic title for manual laborers. So what Sherman did was put all the able bodied blacks into the field as pioneers, as well as other manual labor jobs. He also used the blacks for loading and unloading the ships in Savannah and for guard duty. He refused to have the blacks as regular soldiers on the Carolina Campaign. There were also whites that did the same work but the MAJORITY on the Carolina Campaign were black. Free, easy, hard working laborers! There are ample examples of white officers, engineers etc. working with the pioneers. It is important to point here was what the pioneers had become and who they were on the Carolina Campaign, as well as the March to the Sea." I put italics on the last sentence myself, because that kind of summed up my whole difficulty with it. About a year or two ago I read a book on the march to the sea that had me believing that Sherman added to the poineers from able-bodied freed slaves along the way. Anyway, don't know if this helps or muddles, but perhaps food for thought? |

That doesn't quite mesh w/ my own research but I've come across the number of approx 7,000 black men acting in the roles of Pioneers for the Carolina's campaign. With the size of Sherman's Army that does make sense. It should also be mentioned that Sherman had no issue w/ those men taking part in the Grand Review; he viewed them as part of his Army and part of the reason it had been so succesful. A couple of minor compaints and maybe why it doesn't mesh w/ my own research & knowledge on the sucbject. The men doing the loading and unloading ships at Savannah do not appear to have been the same men who went w/ Sherman through the Carolina's but to have been the men who did the job normally. They were well paid for their actions, many were formerly slaves who had never before been paid for their labor. There seemes to have been an unofficial practice w/in Sherman's Army, any Negro who wants to get something back... put him w/ the Pioneers they never turn away an able back. Some of the fiercest skirmishing in the campaign had pioneers in the thick of it. And the use of the word disbanded in correlation w/ the pioneers isn't quite the right way of putting it; I've made the error in its use too. Sherman broke up the Pioneer Brigade and sent them back to their units in the AoC; Pioneers in Sherman's AoT were along the origianl lines of the pre-war army (20 or so per Regiment)under direct Regimental or Brigade control. Men who were pioneers in the Army of the Cumberland were still Pioneers they just no longer had a seperate chain of command or were under the direct control of the Army Commander. I actually greatly appreciate the particular detail about the 135th USCT as it clears up a bit of confusion for me as I've seen them listed in different Divisions and Brigades on various Order of Battles and it has confused me quite a bit over the years. That would actually be an appropriate use for a Pioneer or Engineer Regiment and was consistant practice. I'm gonna paraphrase something I read from a letter years ago. The letters were a collection from a rather racist, more than usual, Illinois Captain. He approached a group of pioneers and demanded some "nigs" to dig his company sinks. White Sgt in charge of the detail told him exactly where he could go as those were "his pioneers and exempt from such mundane detail." While the Captain took umbrage w/ the Sgt and tried to go over his head the Sgt was upheld if maybe scolded a touch for his choice of language. As in the regs Pioneers were exempt from all extra duties to include guard or pickett duty and all such sundry details. My umbrage over the original contention about black men in Pioneer parties was not that there were none just her assertion that there were no soldiers working beside them... and any time anyone dared to ask for a source you got insulted. There were, quite a few and they were literally working side by side. I think the actual numbers would have been something like three to one but I don't know off hand. |

He had a lot to share, even if it did get kinda hot in here sometime. I hold that the W. Va. thread which He started is one of the best debates here on the CWi board. |

There was a difference between a pioneer and a laborer. Every army had its laborers. The pioneer was something else, however laborious his assignment. ole |

Johan, what a great description of digging entrenchments. Some members of the Bull Run Civil War Round Table have CW entrenchments in their back yards. They haven't been disturbed by construction, but have eroded somewhat. Also trees have grown up and will eventually destroy them as the shallow root balls move the soil. I believe the earthworks were originally built by Confederate troops for the winter encampment of 1861-62. Control of that part of Fairfax County shifted back and forth several times, so it's possible the Union troops used them too. Knowing how dense the natural vegetation is here in our Virginia jungle, I wonder how on earth anybody could dig anything. The shrubs and trees, not to mention briars and poison ivy, cottonmouths and rattlers, ticks and chiggers - you get the idea. Maybe they threw up their earthworks in open land, cow pastures and corn fields, where there was already a clear field of fire. And plenty of fence rails to steal. There weren't any fences left at the end of the war. Widow |

Let's start with some good news: Just like regular yogurt, the frozen treat contains live and active cultures, which boost immunity and fight disease in the gastrointestinal track. "Frozen yogurt is generally low in fat and sugar and can be a great alternative to richer ice creams," says Bonnie Taub-Dix, RD, author of Read It Before You Eat It.
Search: The health benefits of yogurt
Now, the bad news: Froyo can quickly turn into a diet disaster when you begin mixing in sugary syrup, candy, and chocolate. "You're just adding sugar to something that already has enough sugar," says Taub-Dix. (Better choices include nuts, which provide a dose of healthy fats, and fresh fruit, which adds natural sweetness to your dessert.)We examined the nutrition facts for eight chains and store-bought brands to reveal the worst frozen yogurts for your waistline, along with those that can help you indulge without adding bulge.
Don't let sneaky calories add extra pounds to your waistline. Making a few easy swaps every day will help you save thousands of calories and lose more weight—while still enjoying burgers, pizza, ice cream, and more!

This is the first of a series of four stories dealing with the saving of human lives through application of medical research. The Item is running this series at this time in view of the impending action by the City Council on a proposal to allow stray animals which would otherwise be put to death to be used for medical research. The work described in this series would not have been possible but for the extensive use of a wide variety ©f animals at medical research institutions in this city. "New Operation Saves Lives." ' "Mysterious Disease Traced to Cause." "New Drug Proved Effective." Headlines s-u c h as these frequently remind New Orleans newspaper readers that their city is one of the nation's great medical centers and that research laboratories here play an important part in the worldwide drama of medical discovery. There is another kind of drama, however, to medical research. This is the behind-the-scenes story of the search which precedes every medical discovery. Here, too, New Orleans research — particularly that of the city's two medical schools —is playing a key role. Both the Tulane and Louisiana Staj^_JJniversitY_ me d i c a 1 schools are engaged in major research, and their projects cover the entire range of modern medicine. A RECENT survey at Tulane, for instance, shows that pioneer work is being done in all three of the fields which present today's greatest medical problems in terms of human death and suffering— cancer, heart disease and mental illness. (Tulane's research in these three fields will be discussed in succee.d-ing articles.) And here are some examples of the wide variety of other current Tulane research, which almost literally covers the body of man from head to toe: One Tulane research team has spent several years on the track of the common cold and in the study of various viruses affecting the respiratory system. These researchers have succeeded in isolating a virus which they have shown to cause many of the milder respiratory infections—generally called "colds." This virus has been labeled Virus 2060. It, together with, another closely related virus identified as the JH Virus, is be- lieved responsible for a large percentage of all cold-like . illnesses. * * * RECENTLY, THIS team also opened the way to replacing the present vaccines against colds, "flu" and polio with a single vaccine which would protect against these and possibly other virus-caused diseases all at the same time. Several drug firms are now at work on such a multi-purpose vaccine as a. result of Tu lane's demonstration that influenza viruses can be grown in tissue cultures made from monkey kidneys. Formerly influenza vaccine was prepared from viruses grown in eggs. The Tulane work makes it possible for vaccine made from the tissue-grown influenza viruses to be used as a basis with vaccines from other viruses —which it has already been shown can be grown in tissue cultures—can be combined. * * * A NEW vaccine against typhus is undergoing exhaustive tests for safety and effectiveness under another Tulane project. As part of this program, 125 volunteers were immunized with this vaccine early in 1952. Recent follow-up tests indicate immunity in this group has persisted more than five years. Further evidence of the vaccine's safety was gained in the inoculation of more than 10,000 persons in Peru, where typhus is prevalent. Tulane field studies are now under way in Peru to check on the program's effectiveness. This vaccine, if successful* will have the advantage of "one-shot" long-lasting immunity. 'Vaccines now in use require several doses and periodic "booster" shots. * * * POLIO IMMUNITY has also been a special study project at Tulane for more than five years. At present this research cent e r. s on a comparative study of the Salk vaccine and a new type of vaccine now being developed. These studies indicate that the new "live virus'' vaccine may be superior to the Salk vaccine in preventing the spread of polio. The difference between the Salk and the newer vaccine is that the Salk vaccine is made from dead polio viruses, while the newer vaccine is made from live—but greatly weakened—strains of viruses. The Salk vaccine, while it is definitely effective in protecting against the paralytic phase of the disease, apparently does not protect against the intestinal infection, which is important to the spread of

Try File-Merge instead of File-open.
Hi. I recently got V24 (I'm new to Bobcad). How do I open a SW part file (sldprt) or an .iges or even a .x_t? Every time I try to open one of these it locks up Bobcad and I have to close it and re-open it.
Try File-Merge instead of File-open.
Do you mean the program freezes? Have you run systems updates and graphics card updates? Running the latest version of the software?
You should just be able to do a File> Open> All BobCAD files at the bottom. Is this where it crashes?
Yes. That is where it locks up. I tried the merge option, tried opening from bobcad, tried opening a sldprt file with bobcad. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm using V24.
Post a sample file that doesnt open in BobCad.
Here is the file in zip format.
So I looked at your file and there definitely is a problem, but I am still unclear on what it is. Here is some conjecture.
It seems to be made with Version 2007 Solidworks? (Old and buggy with translators)
The solid has some bits malformed,, BUT, I opened it with Edrawings Viewer, though the clipping plane has trouble with the display (Most likely due to the malformed surfaces) I tried an import into Another Modeler which failed, though I updated it to a just released version and it imported.
I left it sit for awhile.. It didnt lock up. It was crunching away. Just way too long to expect anything..
Did you make this with your solidworks? Can you export the file as an IGES or STEP and try that?
I have seen some others fix issues by replacing their swdocumentmgr.dll with the one from the installed version of Solidworks, but I wouldnt recommend doing that.
Sorry, I've got nothing for you.
Thanks! I'm not sure what software created the file (I didn't create the file, it was reversed engineering with CMM and drawn by a pattern shop). But I did use SW 2007 to open it and view it. Now trying to get it into Bobcad. I tried iges and x_t, but after SW. Maybe I can try to open it from them without SW. I'll try that. Glad to know it's not me!
Thanks alot!!
Ok, good luck with that.. If you can post the IGES file, it could help to see whats inside.. Whats the format they are sending? Maybe attach that if you need to look any further.
I have found, especially if your computer does not have MANY Gigs of memory, certain processes act like it locked up, when in fact (even if task manager says not responding) it has not locked up. Go get a warm beverage, back rub . . . and come back. It helps to shut down all non BobCad related memory hogging utilities, and processes, I E TSRs, realterm, skype . . . anything which lives at the bottom right on the task bar. I have an old Pentium III,WIN XP at the shop from which I deleted everything useless to the job and it works better than the new win7 here at home, has WAY less memory too.
I opened the model and went out and washed my car. The model came in, but had several badly formed surfaces (The underlying issue). It wouldnt save any other format out. I unstitched the model to surfaces and went out and waxed the car. The exported IGES was so badly formed that it would be easier to rebuild it than to try to repair it..
The original model needs to be looked at before saving it out. (That said, Some newer apps imported it well enough to justify repairing it to move on.)
Thanks guys!! I didn't realize it would/could take that long. I have a 1G graphics card and 4g RAM. I assumed it would open faster. It only takes 7-8seconds in SW 2007.
All I'm trying to do is create a few machining fixtures from this file, so 2D is all I need. I only have a 2-axis CNC mill. I was just trying to see how it worked in Bobcad versus SW 2007.
Maybe I just need to be more patient? That's what my wife always says too!
Thanks for all your effort!!

This koala was my son's first stuffed animal and he loves it. We bought this for him when he was about 9 months old and he has had it ever since. My son is now 20 months old and has been very rough on the koala and also uses it as a pillow every night. We've also sent it through the washing machine a few times. All the stitching has held and all the fur is still intact. My only complaint is that the stuffing has flattened out a bit. I would buy again without hesitation.

I think we are being played by the arms industry. A mentality of fear and violence makes them richer by the day. The NRA is full of members who have been convinced those of us "non-members" are out to take their guns and freedom away from them. I live in an area of enormous poverty and some people hunt to eat. Even as a vegetarian I would defend their right to do so.
But I will not defend anyone's right to carry a gun to use on others for any reason other than the protection of life and castle. That is why we have trained police officers and enforcement agencies. That is why we are a nation of laws.
We supposedly learned that lesson back in the 1800s. Lots of innocent people were killed and maimed when everyone carried a gun and it was acceptable to use violence to settle disputes.
So, no, I don't think we have consensus here:O)

These personality-laden terrariums from Twig remind me of some our mom used to make when I was growing up. She used to collect ceramic animals, moss and stones and put them together in oddly shaped jars. Twig's terrariums are mossy little worlds inside antique and unusual containers. When you peek inside, you find miniature scenes that make you smile.I first saw these charming terrariums at the Brooklyn Flea Market while I was on vacation earlier this year and fell in love. Inside each unusual jar is a small green world complete with a landscape played out from our daydreams — from cows and park benches to kids standing on their heads. For almost any occasion (especially for someone that you miss), they would make a special gift, and are surprisingly easy to maintain once you get the hang of it. You can sometimes find Twig at the Brooklyn Flea Market — see Twig Terrarium for dates — or order terrariums as kits to make and assemble yourself.

You have to have THE most colorful, beautiful dishes of just about anyone, Ali. Gorgeous and so appealing. I've found I love using chickpeas in soup. They give a nice little bit of crunchiness and, of course, are packed with goodness. And, enjoying the potato part ... well, that goes without saying. I'm adding this to my "to make" list right now.
I'm intrigued on the baguette, too.
The GFDP has been an especially great one, don't you think?

Ali, this is my son's favorite soup. He is going on a ski trip too Quebec this coming weekend and he is able to bring food with him. This was his first request!As a mom this was a great compliment to now that I am doing some right when he chooses some nutritious over fast food.
My sons all love the soup and their friends too.
Definitely this soup is a stable in our home. It freezes well too!
Thanks so much Ali for your amazing recipes. - January 23, 2010 at 9:21 AM
Baguettes? Is that a recipe coming soon, or do you happen to have the good fortune of living near a gf bakery?
The soup looks yummy as usual! We'll certainly be making it soon. - January 23, 2010 at 12:44 PM

We made this recipe. The only changes we made were less water, a tbsp of vegan gluten-free bullion, a tad more on the spices.
Turned out great. - January 24, 2010 at 6:22 PM
- Islandgirl said...
Would you happen to have nutritional information for this recipe? Number of servings, calories, nutrients, etc?
I made this a couple of nights ago and it was just awesome. Only changes I made were using 1/2 potatoes and 1/2 yams (I didn't have enough potatoes) and less water so that it was more stew than soup.
Thank you! - January 26, 2010 at 11:46 AM

This recipes was delicious. We made it for supper last night and served up some gluten free cornbread on the side. The recipe easily made over eight 2-cup servings. I enjoyed it so much I'm going to serve it at the spiritual retreat centre I work at in two weeks.

These people are insane. They paid him to promote various things and he did. And they profited from it. So will the Goobernment of S Australia give back the money people pumped into their tour? Will Trek reimburse folks that bought their bikes?
Armstrong should have followed the strategy of our crooked politicians... Deny, deny, deny. It works for them.
Meanwhile athletes the size of King Kong inhabit Football and the NBA sucking down massive pay checks in industries worth billions, but no doping there - nope not a bit...
It´s not a justification or a defense of Armstrong to claim others do it bigger and worse.Texans were hugely proud of him. He was our own and he betrayed us. Now, I don´t care if he loses everything.
Armstrong is a con artist,pure and simple.The reason for this mea culpa is so he can keep getting endorsements. Why in the world would the postal service pay this joker $30 million when they´re bankrupt. If he really only cares about cancer cures,why is he self enriching in the process?There´s not going to be a cure for cancer anyway,it would put to many hospitals out of business.I remember many years ago interferon was the magic bullet.The concept for the cure is correct but billions of dollars later were still stuck on radiation and chemo.
Does anyone know a single person who was harmed by Armstrong´s bike riding wins?He did show the world that you can come back from major major cancer surgeries and live well.Should we punish him for being that inspiration to millions of people around the world.
Look for Mel "peach panties" Reynolds on the next Oprah Forgiveness Train so he can get Jackson´s open seat.
Lance is a cheater and a liar. He should expect that those cheated and lied to might be miffed about it.
No, #6, don´t know anyone who was harmed by Armstrong´s bike riding wins, but I do know someone whose life was nearly destroyed by Armstrong´s vicious - VICIOUS - campaign to ruin this person´s life just because this person spoke the truth about Armstrong´s doping.It´s all part and parcel. You can´t extricate the lying and deceit and viciousness of character as somehow separate from the wins.Oh, and there´s the part about how he threw away his wife and kids. That´s not too inspiring.
Lance who?
He might as well skip the legal mess and file for bankruptcy now...
The world...and professional biking is much safer now. Thank goodness this guy is finally outed for the cheat he is! And I´m s-o-o-o-o glad football, baseball, basketball and all the other ´balls,´ as well as wrestling, boxing and any number of other competitive sports are not involved in such shenanigans! s/

Osho,I have done or had everything of this world that I have ever wanted. I seem to have run out of ambition to achieve anything further. Even enlightenment appears to be a remote and impossible goal, outside the realm of my understanding.I love to see you and to be with you and I love to sail. Apart from these, it feels like I am simply waiting and biding my time. There is nothing to do and nowhere to go. However I have a sense of sadness and a feeling of unfulfillment.Please comment.
It is one of the most significant moments in the life of man, when he feels that he has run out of ambitions and is simply waiting, not knowing for what.
This is the moment when enlightenment is nearest.
Enlightenment is not a goal. It is not there, far away, that you have to reach to it. You cannot make an ambition of enlightenment: that is the sure way to miss it.
Enlightenment happens in this gap, when all your ambitions are finished, you don't know what to do, where to go. In this silence – because there is no turmoil of desire, no hankering for ambition – enlightenment happens of its own accord. It is a by-product, not a goal.
And that's why you are feeling sad, unfulfilled; although all the ambitions are finished…why should one feel unfulfilled? There must be something in life which is not part of the ambitious mind, without which one cannot feel fulfilled. You can fulfill all your desires, all your ambitions – still you will feel unfulfilled.
In fact you will feel unfulfilled more than those who are still running after desires, because at least for them there is hope that tomorrow they will reach the goal. Today may be empty, but the illusion, the hallucination of tomorrow keeps today in a certain way hidden from them. But now for you there is nothing which can hide your reality.
You are unfulfilled.
So one fundamental thing is very clear: that even if all the ambitions are fulfilled, man is not fulfilled. There is something which is not an ambition, and unless you achieve it – and it is not an achievement – unless it happens to you, the unfulfillment will make you sad.
This situation happens to very fortunate people; otherwise everybody is running after desires, and there are so many things in life to do. There is no time to feel unfulfillment, there is no time to feel sadness. The hope for tomorrow dispels all sadness.
But now you don't have any hope for tomorrow. Only today is with you, and it is good that you are waiting, not knowing for what. If you are waiting knowingly for something, that is desire, then the mind is playing a game with you. If you are simply waiting, you have come to the end of the road. There is nowhere to go, what can you do except wait? But wait for what?
If you can answer, "I am waiting for this or that," you will miss enlightenment. Then your waiting is not pure. Then it is not simply waiting. If you can be clear about it, that it is a pure waiting which is not addressed to anything, to any object, it is the right situation in which enlightenment happens.
