The Essential Leebow
The Essential Leebow
Jan/Feb 2011 From the Experts: When executed at the right time, the right place, and with proper technique, a leebow tack can be a game-changing tactical move.
What's more satisfying than engaging a competitor from a weak position, and coming out ahead? For all of you pondering a favorite racecourse memory right now, I'll bet many of the close, come-from-behind moments you've enjoyed started with a perfectly executed leebow. The leebow is a great tactical weapon with which you can gain control from a close, but disadvantaged position next to your opponent.
Leebowing a competitor means placing yourself to leeward and ahead; a position in which your boat's wake and sails disturb the area where the windward boat sails enough to have it slowly drop back into a weak position. If the windward boat doesn't promptly tack away, it will end up straight behind, or worse, to leeward. Either way, it's no longer a threat.
In match racing, the leebow maneuver is used to herd an opponent to the nearest layline where it is forced into a trailing position as the boats approach the mark. In fleet racing, the same tool can be used on one or more boats, and can even be a way to get into a stronger position over a group of boats. However, perform the maneuver poorly, and you'll be ping-ponged back in the fleet while contributing to your opponents' top-10 comeback list. Let's look at how you can put yourself in a strong leebow position, and make the most of it.
First, there are racing rules to consider. Most leebows happen when a port-tack boat can't cross a starboard tacker and tacks ahead and to leeward. Throughout the tack, and until it's clear the tack is complete, the port boat is required to give way. On the other hand, the starboard tacker has to limit any course alterations to those that allow the port boat to respond and stay clear. It's pretty simple, really; starboard makes it obvious what their course is and port has to stay out of its way. The responsibility is always on the boat that changes course last. So the goal is to tack legally, get up to speed, and let nature take its course.
What works, what doesn't
You can always count on alert teams to have the best leebows. To ensure your team knows that a leebow situation is imminent, verbally count down the timing of the tack (i.e., "tacking in three, two, etc.). Either the tactician or the trimmer should be doing the counting—whichever can see the situation best. Pass the responsibility off to the driver as late as possible so he or she can focus on keeping optimal boatspeed.
The goal is to do a normal tack and end up bow-forward and close to leeward. The challenge is to know when to begin the tack. That's the part that takes practice. To limit the risk of fouling, learn when to start your tack and how to exit with good speed in a strong leebow position.
After the tack, sail in a normal speed mode and be patient. There is no need to pinch. In fact, keeping the normal target speed usually gets you the best height, which is what will ultimately allow you to slow the boat on your hip.
The basic rule of thumb for deciding whether to leebow or duck is your relative position. You will struggle to execute a leebow if you are aft of bow-to-bow in the cross, but sometimes you can tack to leeward and ahead, with as much as a boatlength between, and still affect your opponent. If you're crossing but want to leebow, tack just before you are straight ahead of your opponent. If you're not crossing, but advanced on them, get as close as you feel comfortable, legally, and tack there. The important point is to end up bow forward when you are up to speed on the new tack. From there, your clear air and ability to sail your normal course should eventually hurt the performance of your opponent. In underpowered conditions or big waves, this can work. But generally if you are behind bow-to-bow before the crossing, consider ducking the other boat rather than risk getting trapped to leeward on the new tack.
If you're crossing but want to leebow, tack just before you are straight ahead of your opponent. If you're not crossing, but advanced on them, get as close as you feel comfortable, legally, and tack there. The improtant point is to end up bow forward when you are up to speed on the new tack. From there, your clear air and ability to sail your normal course should eventually hurt the performance of your opponent.
Slowing the boat (unintentionally or not) as you go into a leebow tack is a common mistake. Pinching as you get close to the starboard boat reduces your closing speed and allows you to more comfortably pick your time to tack. However, that slows you down, requiring a bigger speed build after the tack, causing the boat to make more leeway, and leaving you in a worse position than a normal tack. This is especially true when it's choppy. Do not pinch! It doesn't help.
Team members sneaking off the rail early to be "in position" is another speed-reducer, making a good tack less likely. Likewise, pushing really close to your opponent and then turning faster also slows you down, as well as making you more vulnerable to protest. Trust your teammates. The driver and trimmers need to see the other boat. The rest of the team needs to concentrate on nailing the tack.
Think of it this way…full speed in, full speed out. That's the winning formula. Practice your leebow tacks to the point that you're comfortable going into them at full speed.
Typically, it takes roughly a minute to flush your opponent away after a lee bow. The stronger your position (i.e., closer sideways and more bow forward), the faster they'll struggle and you'll gain. In lighter and bumpier conditions, when the boats are underpowered, the windward boat won't survive long at all.
Every boat and situation is different, which means part of the skill set needed to consistently pull off good leebows is the ability to "read" the situation and be sure you have the speed, position, and time to make the leebow stick. I like to think of it from the opponent's viewpoint. If you exit the situation in a position that leaves your opponent wishing you weren't there, you've done your job!
If you're close to the port-tack layline, there may not be sufficient time on starboard to peel your opponent after a tack, and you might set yourself up to get pushed past the layline. Or worse, your opponent may tack away as soon as you leebow them, only to set up the same situation again at the impending mark rounding, where there might be a lot more traffic, which puts your team at higher risk of fouling. Be aware of how close to the corner you are.
On the open course, just because you can leebow doesn't always mean you should. Leebowing another boat leaves you vulnerable to the same treatment soon after tacking. Before you tack, look over your shoulder to ensure you're not about to tack into a position that will leave you sandwiched with no escape. In addition, remember your overall strategy. If you are on a huge lift and happy to stay there, you'll often gain more by ducking the starboard boat and staying on the good shift. Keep the big picture in mind.

The space behind the headboard is prime bed bug territory. Most headboards are hanging on the wall. If my wife is with me, we'll remove it and look behind it. This exposes a lot of possible bed bug territory. Even if you don't remove headboard, look around it. Or if you move the bed out from wall, look at the wall under the headboard.
Bed bugs could also be at the foot of the bed, but they're more likely to reside at the head of the bed. The foot of the bed, if the sheets are tucked in, doesn't allow bed bugs easy access to a sleeping host. The bugs would have to come up to the head of the bed to get you, and they typically minimize the distance to the host.
All of the stages of bed bugs are visible, at least if you don't need reading glasses and you have a sufficient amount of light. So if you're looking closely enough, you can even see bugs in the nymphal first instar stage. A fecal spot, for its part, can be as large as a bed bug itself in terms of the area it covers. The spots are basically digested blood, so most are dark in color. On a white mattress, they stand out pretty well.
Are there tactics that professional exterminators use that don't work?
No one tactic alone will be effective. A good pest control operator will develop a strategy to deal with the bed bugs that takes the particulars of the setting into account, and will return several times to check on progress. Dry ice sprays that freeze bed bugs have limited potential to reach hidden bugs. Steam has somewhat better penetrating ability. The downside of steam is that it leaves moisture behind. Dry ice doesn't leave any residue at all. Vacuuming has a role, but it has limitations, too. Some insecticides leave behind deposits that are slow to act but are effective in the long-term. Other insecticides kill on contact, but only reach insects that are in view. Insecticide resistance makes the choice of tactics more difficult.
An important thing to remember is that good professional pest controllers do get rid of bed bugs. The fine line that bed bug experts have to walk in talking to the public is the line where the anxiety and depression and so forth that can result from thinking about bed bugs too much can cause more problems than the bugs themselves would.

Cultivated by ancient villages in Italy's Apennine woodlands, spread throughout Europe by Roman legions and nearly forgotten by the 19th century, the chestnut is back—again being dished out by cooks, chefs and, of course, holiday street vendors.
by Ian Wolff
Few things usher in the holidays like the smell of roasting chestnuts wafting down the streets of Italian cities and towns. Even in Manhattan, Christmas time brings the smokey aroma to its brightly decorated Midtown avenues. From Nat King Cole crooning about them roasting on an open fire to street vendors serving up bundles of warm roasted chestnuts, this delicacy is an ubiquitous part of Christmas. But while the chestnut has only recently enjoyed a return to popularity in the U.S., the castagna, or common chestnut, is intricately woven into Italy's culinary history.
Over 2000 years ago villages in the Apennine woodlands, which stretch the entire length of Italy's peninsula along the east coast and were once thick with chestnut trees, survived long winters on the trees' bounty. The fallen nuts were picked from the forest floor and dried in two-story stone drying shacks, the remains of which can still be found throughout the region. The nut also played a role in the Roman Empire: On their lengthy campaigns, Roman legions planted chestnut trees to help provide food for their vast armies. Polenta was made with chestnut meal until corn arrived in the 16th century. And castagnaccio, a flatbread of chestnut flour baked on an oiled stone, was a common staple. The gluten-free flour was used to bake heavy, dense loaves of bread, and was prized for its resistance to spoilage. If the chestnut was a staple during hard times, at least it was nutritious—the starchy nut is high in carbohydrates and has nearly as much vitamin C as a lemon.
The chestnut was a part of many traditional recipes and even became a delicacy by the 16th century. The famous Italian chef of the 16th century, Bartolomeo Scappi, included chestnuts in a banquet menu. After roasting and peeling them, Scappi wrapped the hot chestnuts in towels with rose petals, sugar, salt and pepper so that they absorbed all the flavors before being plated. Yet despite their prevalence in Italian recipes, by the 19th century the chestnut had become equated with cucina povera, peasant food, and was excluded from aristocratic tables; combined with deforestation and the shift away from agrarian practices, the chestnut was nearly wiped out.
Now, though, it has returned to favor both in Italy and here in the U.S. Its resurgence began with the hybridized Italian marron chestnut. Juicier and sweeter than its cousin, the marron is now the most common chestnut used in cuisine. Outwardly it resembles the original chestnut: heavily armored with prickly spines, a dark brown, hard outer shell and a bitter inner skin. Inside, it's different. Where the castagna contains two small, flat nuts to a burr, the marron has a single, larger heart-shaped one.
They first became popular as candied chestnuts called marrons glacés in France. Marrons continued to appear in fine French fare, and Italians were quick to embrace them. Thanks to a renewed interest in the country's culinary heritage, the chestnut is again turning up in top Italian kitchens. They garnish ice cream and fill tarts. They accompany meats and are made into pastas. Chestnut flour is used in breads, cakes and pastries for its nutty taste and sweet smell.
While chestnut vendors line Manhattan city streets around the winter holidays and pedestrians fight the snowy chill with a paper cone of hot, roasted nuts, in Italy the chestnut is still associated with times of hardship. They are given to the poor every November on Saint Martin's day as a symbol of the sustenance they provided throughout Italy's history.
Italy is still among the world's largest producers of chestnuts, and most chestnuts in the U.S. are imported from there. Though early American settlers survived long, cold winters on native chestnuts, the huge chestnut forests were decimated by blight in the early 1900s. Now the Mugello region and Sicily fulfill the holiday appetite for the nut.
Roasting is a particularly popular preparation of the chestnut. Boiled or puréed, they can be served with wild game. They're also a main ingredient in stuffing for poultry, from chicken to quail, like quaglie farcite in salsa al vino rosso, stuffed quail in red wine sauce. The chestnut's versatility extends to sweets, also. The flour is baked into three-grain chocolate and raisin brioche, or they can be puréed with honey and cream for a rich desert.
Fresh chestnuts can be bought from early fall through winter. The freshest will have glossy, unwrinkled shells and feel heavy in the hand. Out of season, or for less work, you can find them already peeled, and dried or frozen. Soak dried nuts for an hour before use. They come candied, puréed or prepared like jam into a delectable spread. You can also buy coffee beans roasted with chestnuts and honey from chestnut pollen.

My family if from Abruzzo and my father always roasts chestnuts for the kids in cold weather months. Now that I am an adult the chestnut is a nice accompaniment for a bicchierino di Montepulciano D'abruzzo. Please more chestnut recipes!Posted: December 19, 2009 16:04 by billy5077
We eat chestnuts often throughout the winter (San Martino would't be complete without a big basket of these fire roasted gems!) and also use then similarly to these seasonal recipes. Glad they are becoming more readily available.Posted: December 03, 2009 13:08 by mleo
My family loves chestnuts and the holidays would not be the same without them. I love using them all year round in recipes, cakes, pies, sauces, in stews, etc. Glad we are Italian and know the value of a great food.Posted: October 14, 2009 13:20 by mj312b
Excellent choices of recipes for the month of December. Chestnuts aren't very popular, people don't like to be botherd with them, but I like to keep the old tradition going . Excellent!Posted: December 28, 2008 14:47 by bettybel

Holler: Vikings have advantages in line
This story originally published on
Jason Campbell (Kyle Terada/USP)
John Holler
Posted Nov 20, 2012
The Chicago Bears may not be as elite as once thought. They haven't beaten a winning team since Week 1 and their offensive line is leading to an offensive offense. That's one battle the Vikings have to win to stand a chance at ending a Chicago losing streak.
As the Vikings returned to work Monday, they shook the welcomed rust off in the beginning of their preparation for the
Chicago Bears
. Meanwhile, the Bears went into their first game without QB
Jay Cutler
. When backup
Jason Campbell
flew to San Francisco Sunday, he had high hopes. By the end, the Bears were happy simply to be able to have Campbell fly home with the rest of the team.
Boxers have had easier nights than Campbell had. If nothing else, the 49ers exposed the blueprint of how to dominate the Bears. It can be argued that Campbell has more mobility than Cutler, which actually made him a less stationary target when the Niners ripped the Bears for eight sacks.
As San Francisco showed this week with starting QB
Alex Smith
, the new era dawning in the NFL in terms of dealing with concussions is a new world order. By all accounts, Smith was on track to return to the lineup Monday night, until he took a post-concussion stress test that had the medicos delaying his return.
Whether the Vikings play Cutler or Campbell, the one thing that will remain the same is that, for two of the next three weeks, the offensive line of the Bears remains BSC-ineligible heading into a pair of games with the Vikings. Unless something changes, Bears quarterbacks are going to be referred to as the Last Man Standing.
Just as the Vikings were viewed as a legitimate playoff contender heading into 2009 with one glaring exception (quarterback) before some guy from Kiln, Miss. showed up and put a hitch in our collective giddy-up, so it is with the Bears of 2012. They have as many interception returns for touchdowns (seven) as they have rushing TDs. If they get behind by double digits, a comeback appears all but impossible. Why? They have a glaring weakness – the Not-So-Fab-Five up front on the O-line.
As surely will be pointed out this week, the Bears are a classic front-runner. When they're ahead, they have a swagger like few others. But there is a man behind the curtain in clear view. When they play good teams, they lose. Chicago has played four teams that currently have a winning record. One was in Week 1 when the Bears defense gave
Andrew Luck
a personal toilet-swirly in his NFL debut. In the 10 games the Bears have played since, they have faced three teams with a winning record – Green Bay, Houston and San Francisco. In those three games, the Bears have been outscored 68-23. The defense doesn't score touchdowns against good teams and Chicago gets its collective butt kicked.
Are the Vikings an elite team? We'll find out in the next three weeks when they get to go after the suspect Bears O-line twice.
Today a pair of veteran Vikings players will lead by example on the players' day off.
Kevin Williams
will take over a drive started by former Viking
E.J. Henderson
at the North Minneapolis Cub Foods store. Viking Update has borne witness to the thousands of residents that will have a Thanksgiving with a turkey and the trimmings. North Minneapolis had one of the highest poverty levels in the state prior to a freak May tornado in 2011 cutting a swath through the neighborhood and made a bad situation worse. The long lines that have accompanied the turkey giveaway pays testament to how many lives are innately impacted by the community partnerships fostered by the Vikings and local business leaders.
In a vastly different, but equally heartfelt, act of holiday kindness,
John Sullivan
and his family will host a pre-Thanksgiving meal for childhood cancer patients and their families at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital – a cause near and dear to Sullivan's heart. For those kids unable to attend the buffet-style meal, Sullivan and several of his Vikings teammates will bring meals to the rooms. For those kids who may not have another Thanksgiving and family members who question what they have to be thankful for, the encouragement that Sullivan and his teammates bring will provide smiles for those sorely lacking them.

This document descibes how to install YDEL on a PlayStation3.
Operating System Version
Yellow Dog Enterprise Linux v.6.1 or later.
Attach Monitor or HD TV
Attach your PS3 to a hi-definition TV or monitor using either:
- A HDMI (digital) cable
- Component (5 RCA jacks) cable
- Composite (yellow RCA jack) is not supported as the resolution is too low.
Attach to the PS3:
- A Game controller - The game controller will be used to conduct all GameOS functions.
- A USB keyboard - The keyboard and mouse will be used once you enter the YDEL installer.
- A USB Mouse
Step 1 : Update the GameOS and Backup your Data
- From GameOS, select Settings : System Update : Update via Internet and then follow the on-screen prompts to complete.
- If you have used your PS3, it is highly recommended that you BACK UP ALL GAME, MUSIC, & PHOTO DATA before formatting the drive as all data will be lost.
- Select Settings : System Settings and press ENTER on the keyboard or the X button on the game controller.
- Select Format Utility : Format Hard Disk : Yes
- Next, select a partition setting for the hard disk.
- Select: Custom
- You are presented with option to Use All for the PS3 System, Allot 10GB to the Other OS or Allot 10GB to the PS3 System. It is required to allocate the majority for YDEL (Other OS). Select Allot 10GB to the PS3 System.
- Select Quick Format and Yes. Your PS3 will now format its internal drive.
- Press X on the controller to EXIT. This will cause your PS3 to reboot.
Before you install Yellow Dog Enterprise Linux, you must temporarily transfer control of your PS3 to the Yellow Dog Enterprise Linux installer. This is done using a bootloader. The bootloader "kboot" allows the GameOS to transfer authority to Yellow Dog Enterprise Linux. Kboot is included on the YDEL Install DVD.
Do not turn off the power nor remove the DVD during installation. Interrupting the installation process may cause damage.
- Insert YDEL Install DVD.
- From the GameOS menu, select Settings : System Settings : Install Other OS
- Your PS3 will now scan the DVD for the bootloader installer and bootloader.
- Confirm discovery of "/PS3/otheros/otheros.bld".
- Press ENTER on the keyboard to start the installation.
- Once the install is finished, the screen will say "Install completed." This means that the kboot install is complete. Note: YDEL has not been installed yet; continue to the next step.
- Back on the GameOS menu, start the YDEL install by selecting Settings : System Settings : Default System : Other OS
- When prompted to quit the PS3 system and start the other system, select Yes.
- The PS3 will boot into the kboot bootloader. You will see white text on a black screen. The system will stop at the kboot: prompt.
- Before the installer times-out, press the TAB key on your keyboard to browse through the available install modes. Each time you press the TAB key, another install mode will be displayed. Select one of the following options to match the highest resolution capability of your monitor.
- install_ps3_1080i - for PS3 and monitor capable of 1080i
- install_ps3_1080p - for PS3 and monitor capable of 1080p
- install_ps3_480i - same as install_text
- install_ps3_720p - for PS3 and monitor capable of 720p
For example, if you monitor is capable of 1080p, the kboot prompt should look similar to this following:
kboot: install_ps3_1080p
If your monitor has only Composite (3 RCA jacks) the YDEL installer Anaconda) should default to text mode no matter the selection made. This will later require command line configuration. If you are uncertain of your hi-def (HDMI, Component) monitor's capability, the 720p option is the best default choice. - Once you select the appropriate install mode, hit ENTER on the keyboard. This will begin the installation, or Anaconda (the Yellow Dog Enterprise Linux installer). You will select your Language, Keyboard, etc.
- Note about Package Selection: If you wish to install X, select the Desktop, Office, & Productivity.
- Once the dependency check is complete, click Next to begin the installation.
- Remove the DVD (or it will be pulled back into your PS3 and will attempt to install again).
- Once the install is complete, click Reboot to restart your PS3.
- The first time the system boots up, firstboot walks you through license agreement acceptance, date and time settings and other system configuration.
Configure yum
Run the yum configuration command line utility.
Returning to the GameOS
Your PS3 will now boot to YDEL each time it powers on unless you command kboot (the bootloader) to again boot the GameOS (see BOOTING GAMEOS later in this guide). To return to the GameOS, open a terminal window and enter:
ps3-boot-game-osThe PS3 may also be forced to return to the GameOS by holding the power button for about 5 seconds at power on. Doing this resets your PS3 to factory default.
Returning to YDEL
To return to Yellow Dog Enterprise Linux:
- Select Settings : System Settings : Default System : Other OS
- When prompted to boot Other OS, select Yes.
This HOWTO was prepared by Aaron Johnson and Bonnie Gosler, Fixstars Solutions, Inc.

Predictable Cadence: Shuttleworth Chimes in on Debian Release Cycle
Controversy over fixed release cycles for Debian is nothing new. Now Ubuntu's Mark Shuttleworth has entered into the fray.
With its end-of-July announcement that it would adopt a 24-month development cycle, the Debian release team once again opened up its favorite topic of discussion. In mail on the Debian project list, Ubuntu founder Shuttleworth has now aired his views on the subject and referred back to the importance of maintaining regular, synchronized releases:
"Well, the first thing is to agree on the idea of a predictable cadence. Although the big threads on this list are a little heartbreaking for me to watch, I'm glad that there hasn't been a lot of upset at the idea of a cadence in Debian so much as *which* cadence. We can solve the latter, we couldn't solve the former. So I'm happy at least at that :-)."
Shuttleworth bases the importance of release cadence on the ease in which Linux might thereby gain acceptance, in that a fixed development cycle (say, of two years) stabilizes the main components. He had been harping on this theme for some time now in his blog, and revealed that even Red Hat would consider such a release cycle if a consensus were reached.
Shuttleworth's second point was that it's not about Ubuntu vs. Debian, not about Debian needing to change to meet Ubuntu's needs. He warned against being that short-sighted and that a regular release cycle would benefit all Linux distros: "This gets much more powerful the more of them we bring to the same forum."
A final point Shuttleworth made was that the loudest protest came from those who had nothing much to offer the discussion but to rail against any cooperation with Ubuntu. One of those voices in an immediate response to the mail was Debian's Julien Blache:
"I don't believe in the 100% end-user-centric focus you're displaying in your mail. [...] Once I've removed that from your mail, and the 'but Ubuntu loves you!' stuff, there's nothing left."
There was also some constructive feedback, such as that major releases may not even be called for in the future, instead users might simply keep their systems up to date on a continuous basis.

Comments about LEGO Star Wars Battle of Hoth (75014):
I recently purchased several Star Wars Lego sets online. Using the pay cash option, I payed for these sets at a Babies R Us, and had them delivered at home. Very convenient! These sets are for my grandson to share with. Just like I would built Lego sets with my daughter years ago. These sets are a great way to share quality time with your love ones. Enjoying Lego building again!

Nice Mini-Set
By Legosareablast
from Leominster
This set contains 426 pieces, it has two (2) small instruction booklets, and the Lego pieces come in three (3) sealed, and numbered plastic bags. This allows the set to be assembled in sub-sections using a very small area. If you are fortunate enough to already have Lego Star Wars sets #7666, #10178, #7879, and #7749, when combined with this set (#75014) and a little white cloth (snow) this combination of Lego sets makes a pretty impressive display! With regard to instruction book #2 I have one caution. On page-12 it calls for two (2) #300401 blocks when only one (1) is required. This set is fairly easy to construct, it only took me a day or so working nice and easy, not rushing, and enjoying myself!

great Hoth set
By JLego93
from Oslo
This is a very cool set . I love the new mini figure and the turret missile launcher. It is great that LEGO made rebel canon. The probe droid isn't very similar to the one in the movie but it's still very cool.

Great set! Lots going on here!
By BrickTalkJack
from Patrick AFB
So, this is a great set all-around! I wouldn't call it the "Battle of Hoth", maybe just the "Skirmish of Hoth" considering what's included.. but the set is appropriate for the price! It comes with Luke's snowspeeder.. which I wish came with Dak as well! There is a spot inside the speeder for the harpoon gunner.. but.. alas, no minifigure to fill said spot! Luke comes complete with his blue lightsaber, flight suit, etc. which I already had from my X-Wing set.. but I love minifigures - no complaints there! The Tauntaun is probably my favorite aspect of this set.. it comes complete with a saddle, harness, weapon holsters, etc.! Great addition to the set! Only wish it had Han Solo to ride on it :P My wife actually thinks that it's "cute" and keeps it on her office desk.. blah! Favorite aspect of the set.. gone! Anyway, I'd call this the "Skirmish of Hoth� simply because I feel this should be a much larger/expensive set for the name. It should have at least came with an AT-ST, preferably an AT-AT, more storm troopers, more republic soldiers, etc. It simply comes with a couple Snowtroopers, Rebel troopers, snowspeeder, recon droid, etc. It has many aspects from the battle.. but not everything you'd expect from the battle! But, enough with the negativity.. truth be told, I love this set! It reminds me of the Battle of Hoth from a certain Nintendo 64 game I played back in the day.. memories! The pieces that come with it.. the Rebel trench, Imperial snowtroopers/speeders/droid/etc. are all top notch. My stickers came damaged (stuck inside the box) but Lego sent me replacements promptly for free! They even sent me a Darth Vader minifigure after I mentioned he was my favorite character over the phone! I really love Lego's customer service. Anyway, this set really makes me want the Wampa Cave.. I wish it was out of retirement! I want that wampa (and extra snowspeeder!). If I could get enough of the retired sets I could make the real "Battle of Hoth�, of which this set would make an excellent and crucial element to completing that! Pros: Minifigs & Tauntaun Snowspeeder is well built and great to hold! Display potential Imperial snowspeeder/gun Cons: Han, where are you?! Dak, DAK?! "My gunner is gone!" Wish it came with an AT-ST.. I'd buy one for $25 if it were available! It would also make this set more worthwhile.. a higher price would be justified! Tauntaun stolen by wife *sadface*

Hoth is complete
By AnakinSkywalker46
from Miami Springs
Wow I officailly completed my Hoth scene with this set! I have always wanted the General Riekeen figure and now I got him. The set features Riekeen as an EXCLUSIVE figure. This set is a bit overpriced but I still like it a lot. Maybe Lego should have added a mini hanger/docking bay for the snowspeeder but that is alright. I loved the Hoth satellite turrent, I really wanted one. The rebel trooper is good but I wish he was a bit more detailed. The snowspeeder is sturdy and fun to play with or display. The snowtroopers and small speeder were great. Overall a good buy but needs some small tweaks. 3.5/5 rating

Les Schwab isn't your regular tire store and that's a fact we take pride in. From literally running out to meet you to our free beef promotion, we do things a little differently. We've set a standard in the tire industry that sets us apart from every other dealer through our desire to be more than a faceless corporation. We'd rather be that neighbor down the street you know and trust.
We started as a small shop in Prineville, Oregon, back in 1952 and even though we have expanded to more than 400 stores, we've kept our small-town values. No matter how much we've grown, our customers' happiness and satisfaction has always been our top priority.
So if you want to do business with people who take pride in their performance and honesty, why not drop by? We promise you'll be glad you did.
Who was Les Schwab? He was much more than just the name on a tire store. At his core, Les Schwab was a man who believed in hard work and loyalty to his family, his employees and the community.
Les Schwab was born in 1917 in Bend, Oregon. He lived in logging camps and went to school in an old railroad boxcar. His parents died while he was still a teenager. This was a man who built his life from very humble beginnings.
After high school, Les married Dorothy Harlan, who was his loving wife for the next 70 years. He found work as a circulation manager for a newspaper in Bend, and life moved along until a decision in 1952 that changed his life forever.
That year, Les bought a small tire store in Prineville, Oregon. In the decades that followed, Les built his business from that one store to over 430 stores across the western United States, making Les Schwab Tire Centers one of the largest independent tire businesses in the country.
Les believed in going above and beyond for his customers. He knew treating customers fairly was the right thing to do, and he committed his entire company to it from the start.
Les also treated his employees as partners. He provided them opportunity to grow and succeed, both financially and personally. That is the reason why many employees have been with the company for 20, 30, or even 40 years.
Although Les passed away in 2007, his vision for the company remains stronger than ever. For the 7,000+ employees of Les Schwab Tire Centers, this is now their story.
Les Schwab. Doing the right thing since 1952.

The Australian
May 7, 2013
by John Lee
It is commonly said that elections in many of Southeast Asia's fledging democracies are sometimes free and other times fair, but never both. The refusal of Malaysian Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim to concede defeat in the weekend's general election until allegations of widespread voter fraud are properly investigated will further fuel that perception, and lower expectations that racial divisions in the country will subside.
Ruling coalitions led by the United Malays National Organisation have been in government since the formation of modern-day Malaysia in 1963. There were some hopes that breaking the dominance of UMNO would finally signal that Malaysia is able to start afresh and make the changes needed to fulfil its goal of being one of the few prosperous and harmonious multi-ethnic countries in Asia.
Change always brings promise. But Malaysia's problems are not necessarily due to its choice of leader, or even the party in power. Both Prime Minister Najib Razak and Anwar recognise that the country needs to reform its comprehensive suite of affirmative action policies favouring indigenous Malays in order to achieve further prosperity and social harmony. Najib tried and largely failed to do so in his first term when he assumed power in 2010.
In the lead-up to this election, Anwar frequently spoke about the need to redistribute national wealth based on need rather than race. Affirmative action policies are normally designed to protect minorities. The problem is that winding back decades-old policies that discriminate in favour of the majority are far more difficult to shift.
As any Malaysian (as I once was) will tell you, the 1969 race riots between indigenous Bumiputra Malays, who currently constitute almost 70 per cent of the population, and Chinese-Malaysians remains the defining event in the country's history.
The acceleration of economic, cultural, educational and political affirmative action policies from 1971 onwards was an understandable response to the national trauma of the violence during which 196 people died.
Even so, the race riots were largely caused by social-economic racial divisions within the country. Malaysian leaders then could have responded by attempting to move the country away from ideologies and policies that emphasised and entrenched racial differences. Instead, they did the opposite.
The move to improve the lives of indigenous Malays rather than all Malaysians has come at a heavy price. From 1971 to the present day, successive five-year plans drew up pro-Malay affirmative action policies, each going further than the last. Schemes were implemented to reduce Bumiputra (rather than overall) poverty and initiatives were adopted to speed up the redistribution of the country's corporate assets from Chinese and Indian-Malaysians for the benefit of Bumiputras.
Indeed, it is estimated that almost two thirds of Bumiputras who found employment from 1971 to 2000 were in jobs created through affirmative action policies. One legacy became the rise of a Malaysian civil service, which as a proportion of the population is the largest and best paid in Asia. Bumiputras make up more than 95 per cent of the service.
This is important because these are the same officials responsible for conceiving and implementing any government reform proposals.
Another consequence is distortions in the investment climate. For example, firms in key sectors are obliged to reserve at least 30 per cent of their equity for Bumiputras, and many require a Bumiputra business partner for registration. Special categories of bank loans are created exclusively for Malay-owned businesses and all banks are required to earmark at least 20 per cent of all money lent to Bumiputras.
Generous government assistance is provided to Malay businesspeople, including preferential access to contracts, licences, franchises, technical assistance, management training and reduced rent assistance. Businesses with at least one quarter of Malay executives are entitled to a 10 per cent corporate tax deduction.
Preference is given to Malay firms in the lucrative government procurement sectors: a real prize given the size of the government corporate sector as well as the fact that public investment exceeds private investment. Of all government contracts, 95 per cent go to Bumiputras.
Rather than creating a critical mass of dynamic Bumiputra entrepreneurs, Malaysia is plagued by the rise of rent-seeking Bumiputra elites dependent on state largesse and demanding the continuation of affirmative action policies on both sides of politics.
Many of those who should be best placed to drive the country's plan to escape the middle-income trap in which Malaysia finds itself already have voted with their feet. According to the World Bank, more than one million Malaysian citizens (out of a population of about 29 million) live abroad, with 90 per cent ethnic Chinese and much of the remainder ethnic Indians, both traditionally dominating the entrepreneurial and professional classes in the country.
Back to the election, it seems the majority of non-Bumiputra Malaysians who voted put their hopes in the opposition, figuring that any change could hardly be worse. We will now never know.
But an Anwar-led government would have encountered the same entrenched obstacles as Prime Minister Najib will continue to suffer.
Influential Bumiputra groups on both sides of politics - decisive in a country in which they represent the majority ethnicity - mostly wanted a greater share of state largesse for their stakeholders, not the winding back of affirmative action policies.
Unfortunately, even a genuinely free and fair election will not easily solve Malaysia's problems.

What Are Cherries Used for Today? | Dosage | Safety Issues
Cherries and their juice have a long history of use in food and cooking all over the world. Mention of cherries can be found in the literature of the ancient Chinese, Greeks and South Asians.
Medicinally, they have been used for a variety of pain-related conditions, including arthritis, gout, back pain and tendon injuries. It is often said that tart cherries have more medicinal value than sweet cherries.
Tart cherries contain relatively high levels of substances known as anthocynanins, also found in bilberry , cranberry and other foods. Anthocyanins are antioxidants , and most health claims for cherries are based on this fact. However, the case that antioxidants provide health benefits has become weaker rather than stronger in recent years, and, therefore, merely finding antioxidant content in cherries is inadequate to show benefit. Only double-blind, placebo-controlled studies can actually provide evidence of efficacy, and for cherries, only one smal study of this type has been reported.
In this study, fourteen male athletes were given either tart cherry juice (12 oz) or placebo twice daily, and then performed intensive arm exercises. 1 The results of this trial indicated that use of cherry juice reduced pain and strength loss caused by the excessive exercise. Based on this, it has been suggested that cherry juice might be helpful for athletes in training by enhancing recovery from heavy exercise, due to its antioxidant actions. However, this was a very small study, and more research would be necessary to actually document benefit. Note that other antioxidants have failed to prove helpful for this purpose.
Cherries are also claimed to be helpful for gout , based primarily on a single "scientific" study performed in the 1950s. 2 In fact, however, this study was far too poorly designed to prove anything at all, because it did not utilize a placebo group. (For information on why a placebo group is essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-Blind Studies? ) A much more recent study did find some evidence that cherry consumption might lower levels of urate in the blood. 3 Since high levels of urate are associated with gout, this finding does provide some suggestive evidence that cherries might be helpful. However, this study was small, preliminary and somewhat poorly designed. Furthermore, it does not directly show benefit: many substances reduce urate levels but do not help gout, and many cases of gout are not associated with elevated urate.
One animal study hints that the anthocyanins in tart cherries may have general pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. 4
For use in reducing pain after intensive exercise, a dose of 12 ounces of cherry juice twice daily has been tested in the tiny study noted earlier.
A typical dosage recommendation for gout is a 1/2 pound of whole cherries daily.
As a widely consumed food, cherries are presumed to have a high level of safety. However, maximum safe doses in pregnant or nursing women, young children, or people with severe liver or kidney disease have not been determined.

- After filing your FAFSA, you should have received a Student Aid Report (SAR). Review your SAR carefully - if you were selected for Verification it may be indicated on the report.
- If your financial aid award notification from Lewis & Clark indicates that Verification is required, you've been selected.
- We may send you letters and/or emails telling you to complete Verification. Please open and read all correspondence from us, then respond in a timely manner.
- Check My Documents in WebAdvisor for an updated list of outstanding items.
What to do if you've been selected for verification:
For the 2013-14 academic year…
- Verify your income. If you haven't already done so, log in to your 2013-14 FAFSA and, in the Financial Information section, link to the IRS website and import 2012 income information using the Data Retrieval Tool.*
- Complete the 2013-14 Independent Verification Worksheet.
- Submit the signed Verification Worksheet email to our office along with the following required documents:
- Your (and your spouse's, if married) 2012 W-2 form(s), Schedule C, and/or Schedule K-1, as applicable.
*How to use the Data Retrieval Tool and what to do if you can't.
For the 2012-13 academic year…
- 2011 Federal Tax Return Transcript from the IRS*
- Your 2011 W-2 form(s)
- Your spouse's 2011 W-2 form(s), if married
- 2012-13 Independent Verification Worksheet
*Tax return NOT required if you used the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to populate income information on your FAFSA.
When do I complete Verification?
Incoming students: All required documents should be submitted as soon as they are available, but no later than April 15.
Continuing students: All required documents should be submitted as soon as they are available, but no later than May 1.
Verification Changes
We are required to make corrections to inaccurate information discovered through the verification process and to use the verified information in determining a student's eligibility for financial aid. Corrections to a student's aid application information may cause a change in eligibility and result in a revised award notification.
What happens if I don't complete Verification in a timely manner?
Offers of financial aid will not be finalized nor will any funds disburse to your student account if Verification is required but incomplete. Failure to complete Verification may also result in the cancellation of your financial aid.

Sunday lived up to its name this past weekend, as countless skywatchers in the western U.S. took in a rare annular solar eclipse. An annular eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly in front of the sun but its apparent size, from Earth's perspective, is too small to completely cover the solar disk. During the May 20 eclipse, the moon covered as much as 94 percent of the sun, leaving a narrow "ring of fire" in the sky. (The apparent diameters of the sun and moon change over time; this is especially true for the moon, because its distance to Earth varies significantly over the course of its monthly elliptical orbit.)
The eclipse was visible in a narrow stripe crossing several western states, from Oregon to Texas, as well as in parts of Asia. A partial eclipse was visible from many more locations. Some observers documented the event using professional-quality astrophotography rigs complete with solar filters; some used binoculars to project the eclipse onto a screen for safe viewing. (Viewing the eclipse directly through binoculars could cause severe eye damage.) Other enthusiasts used makeshift pinhole devices—a colander, a clenched hand—whereas many relied on the natural pinhole-filtering effect of sunlight streaming between tree branches and leaves. We chose 10 photos of the eclipse—captured by professionals, by amateurs and by one Earth-orbiting spacecraft—that represent the myriad views different people had of the same event.
View a slide show of Sunday's annular solar eclipse.

Great TV for the price!
By Mikey Mike
from Orangy County, NY
This TV is great. I got this as a Gift for myself and an upgrade for my Sony 42 inch. It was easy to set up although I did have some problems with connecting it to my computer but later found out it was a router issue rather than a TV issue. The Picture itself is excellent. You can watch Movies that you missed off of youtube and other sites or even homemade movies even in 3D. Set up is real simple.
State of the Art

For the money it's hard to fault this TV. We have DirecTV, but the best TV quality is of our bow tie antennae. Blows my mind at the quality of the images. 2D to 3D is a nice feature, but DirecTV has a part time 3D channel that is at least as good or better than being at the movies. Glasses are a pain, but that is the way it is. In our bright room the screen has a tad too much glare, but not near as bad as plazma.I ordered it from Ray on his recommendation and it came soon after, but the screen was cracked in shipping. Soon the current one came and works perfectly.

Great HDTV and great service. I talked with Ray. I was going to buy a Samsung but he talked me into the LG 55LM8600. I am not sorry. I ordered on a Thursday and received it the following Tuesday (even with a weekend in between). The TV picture is very bright and clear and the 3D is out of this world. I hooked up to the internet and Netflix in minutes. It's very user friendly. I did all of the above without opening the User Manual. Haven't tried the App's yet. If you call, ask for Ray

Lyon Films has a gift for storytelling. They listened to what we wanted, then gave us several very different options for turning those concepts into watchable, entertaining vignettes. They also worked with our impossible timeline and tight budget, and delivered everything they promised.
Judy Rooks
Marketing Manager
The Oregonian
The professionalism and passion for our project from you and your staff was amazing, you really made us feel as if we were your number one customer! During the times when we faced challenges and were unclear on our next steps, your suggestions and patience with our project was overwhelmingly appreciated. While we expected to have a quality film at the end of the project; our expectations were far surpassed when we received the final product. The excellent quality of our film and its content directly reflects your zeal and enthusiasm for what your company is all about.
Camille Mercier
Human Resources Director
Spirit Mountain Casino
It was another under budget, multi-location, multi spot job and our first time working with Lyon Films. But by the time the job was over and we finished the two spots, all I could say was, 'Thank God it was Lyon Films!' We had a great time working with Devon and Kevin and produced two very nice spots that did the job. The production values were high, the DP/camera/lens package was A-level and everyone was on the same team, which always makes the difference. My multiple hats go off to Devon and Kevin for their hard work, dedication and, most importantly, their passion for what they do.
Tucker Hassler
former Creative Director

Our experience with Lyon Films has been exceptional. We had a vision for our project and they were able to join with us in an unfamiliar content area to solidify the ideas and create an amazing product.

Devon and Kevin were great to work with – creative, energetic and intuitive. The video production exceeded our expectations and will add great value to our customers' experience on our website.
Rachael Rossman
Marketing Manager / Art Director
Wellspring Heart/Silverton Hospital
I travel all over the world, often hiring local crews for a variety of television series – and I have added Lyon Films to my 'A' list of service providers. Their equipment was exactly what I needed, the crew extremely talented and professional. Everyone went the extra mile for our 'Designing Spaces' segment, and the result was a successful show. Our executive producer was impressed with the quality of the segment I put together with the footage we shot in Waldport, Oregon and we'll be calling Lyon Films next time we're in the region.
J. C. Summerford
Producer/Director O2 Media Inc.
Producer, TLC's Designing Spaces
Hiring Lyon Films to produce our video work turned out to be a tremendous decision. They were easy to work with, responsive to our needs, professional and above all creative in their approach to our project. They exceeded our expectations and it was easy to see that the enjoyment they got from doing their work translated into a great product.
Craig Campbell
President & Legal Counsel
The Victory Group, Inc.
Devon and the team at Lyon Films are among the most on-the-ball clients we work with. Their creative vision is equally matched by their sharp business sense, clear direction and quick follow-through. They approach each project with professionalism and respect for the artists, earning them rave reviews from all the actors we have cast for them. We look forward to more opportunities in the future.
Lana Veenker
Veenker Casting

Lyon Films produced two separate commercials. One was a highly creative endeavor, utilizing green-screen technology and some impressive camera work... Lyon Films delivered, demonstrating not only professional range but the kind of patience, flexibility and professional commitment to client satisfaction that companies look for when selecting a media production partner. I would confidently recommend Lyon Films to associates.
Director of Communications
Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland
Working with Devon & Kevin of Lyon Films has been a rewarding experience. As demonstrated by their work, Devon and Kevin are committed to producing professional quality productions. This drive for professionalism and quality extends to every area of their business both on set and off- there are few businesses who attain this, and they are one of them.
Ryan E. Walters
Lyon Films worked with us on the development of a safety video for the agricultural community. We came to them with little more than a concept, and through their creativity a top-notch bilingual DVD has been developed that is being embraced by the agricultural community. Lyon Films is a reliable, client-friendly organization who listens to their clients to develop a highly professional product. I couldn't have been more happy with the both the process and the final product.
Geoff Horning
Executive Director
Agri-Business Council of Oregon
We engaged Lyon Films to create an educational/informational video for our customer base. We needed the video to accomplish several goals, covering a wide and sometimes conflicting range of topics and points. Working with Lyon Films turned out to be both enjoyable and rewarding. Their crew was extremely professional and adapted to any circumstance that came up. Their sense of humor and technical expertise made the entire experience something our staff will long remember. The end product far exceeded our expectations and we will not hesitate to use them again should the need arise. THANK YOU LYON FILMS!!!!
Deborah Lark
Executive Director & C.O.O
Portland Hospital Service Corporation
Devon ran a great shoot for our feature film, A/S/L age sex location. He was creative, knowledgeable, and created an atmosphere allowing actors to be part of the process. Cast and crew alike were impressed with the level of professionalism on the set. We would not hesitate to partner with his company for future projects.

Lyon Films were the consummate professional team to hire for our first feature film. Kevin Curry organized a tight, well-run schedule and provided daily leadership. Devon Lyon hired a great film and sound crew and pulled them together as a well-run machine. We had nothing but praise for the work done and the ongoing communication and partnership they established with us.
Lynda McCarthy, Assistant Producer

Rick Thomas

Working with Lyon Films was like working with a family, everyone cared about the project and the people behind it. Lyon Films seems to have one goal: to make good films with great people; there was the sense that we were all involved in something bigger than ourselves.
Katie O'Grady
as seen in The Auteur (Tribeca Film Festival), Management (Toronto Film Festival-Starring Jennifer Aniston), The Hunted (Paramount Pictures)
Working with Lyon Films was much different than other shoots I have been on. The shoot was remarkable organized which lended a comfortable, relaxed feeling to the set. I found I was able to really connect with my character because I wasn't distracted by chaos around the set. There is a family like feeling around the cast and crew. I found I had a lot of energy on the shoot. And the food was first class.
Dwight Slade
Writer, Actor and Comedian (opening concerts for Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld)
Devon Lyon and Kevin Curry of Lyon Films are (still) at the top of my list of people I've worked with. Their creative energy and friendly spirit is a breath of fresh air to Portland. I can't wait to work with them again.
Gavin Bristol
as seen in Twilight, Management, Extraordinary Measures and Leverage
The team at Lyon Films was amazing to work with. Their professionalism and artistry sets the bar very high. We thought our final product was great, but what really counts is our target audience. Everyone who sees our promotional video raves about it. It has truly put Pure Desire Ministries International on the map.
Marc Gale
President, PDMI
They respected my creative choices as an actor but gave suggestions that allowed me to further capture their creative vision. They were also sensitive and nothing but professional when filming difficult scenes.
Mary Nelson
Lyon Films can take your project from early concept, through scripting, pre-production, production and postproduction editing, sound design and finishing.

Couple days ago, we saw the cat-tracking Tweeting Cat Door that will let you know when your cat has left the house. (and came back) Now, we found something even better than that, an RFID cat tracker that will let you track the cat when he/she is within certain boundaries of RFID signals, a much better solution for those of you who either don't have a cat door or simply want to track your cat within a specified area.
This gadget is called CATaLOG, cat tracking/logging system based on Arduino, RS232 RFID module, and Arduino Ethernet Shield.
The author Pete has open sourced the code so if you got some soldering skills, just get the parts, simply put it together, load the code, and you should be set to go so you can track your cat via twitter. (You can see an example of the device working @BobbinAndTuffin.
(screenshot of @BobbinAndTuffin)
The CATaLOG project aims to track our two cats Bobbin and Tuffin as they go in and out of the house so we can see which cat spends more time outside, what their favourite time to go out is, and also get sent SMS messages if a cat goes missing for a certain amount of time.
Great job Pete and make sure to let us know on any future Twitter Hacks via @TweetHacking.

I'm not there. It was quite a difficult decision for me to make. A decision that made me feel forced to attend a funeral of sorts. I buried my father 30 years ago when I was 7 years old. There's not anything about the day that I don't remember. When I was told that his memory was to be included in today's events I felt very sad. I expressed to the people that did tell that I thought most would expect me to be happy about it. But I wasn't. Not in any way.
Let's face it. People don't visit the Vietnam Memorial Wall to be happy. It is in essence a collective grave stone with more than 58,000 names on it. 30 years later our government has decided to acknowledge my father's service in Vietnam and his death thereafter as something special? 30 years later?
To be clear, I did not submit the application, a relative did. One that I have spoken to less than 10 times over the last 20 years. When and if I ever go back to The Wall, it will be on my own terms and my own time. It will certainly not be yet another day in history that the United States Government dictates to me how I am to feel about my father's death and the Agent Orange that killed him.
So on a day that I wanted to keep to myself, I feel yet again forced to deal with the issue since going through my emails today; I was faced with an article written about the ceremony events. An article that shared the story of another PA Vietnam Veteran who lost his life to Agent Orange & Dioxin exposure and was also being honored today. The article failed to include the names of the other 9 PA Vietnam Veterans who are also being remembered today. I felt that I should at least include my own father's name, however in doing so I thought it necessary to share the story with all of you.
If anything positive has come out of today, I can say that it was one simple thing that I have been waiting for over the last 37 years of my life….. To see my Father, Harry C. Mackel Jr., an active member of The United States Air Force for nearly 10 years, who voluntarily served 2 "Boots On The Ground" tours in Vietnam, in his USAF Military Uniform. Yes, that is correct, for my entire life I have never seen a photo of my Father in his uniform, until now. Included in the ceremony events are the names and photos of all of the Vietnam Veterans being honored today. I received a photocopy of the picture being used in the booklet early last week. It took me several days to convince myself that it was even my father. My husband insisted that it was. In the picture, he was probably just 17 years old, making it the youngest photo I have ever seen of my father. For days, I traced the harsh lines of a photo that came out of a copy machine and then tri-folded for mailing. For days, I had no idea who this man was in the photo, thinking it had to have been a mistake. For days, as I have done many times over the years, I questioned my own Identity. Until I finally stared at his eyes. They are unmistakable, they are mine.
Yet, as I write this story, I am filled with A Heart Of Rage. The kind of rage that only a daughter of a Vietnam Veteran who has long been dead would know. The rage of her Father being taken away. You see, there is even more to this story then one could possibly imagine. I found out about "In Memory Day" on a week night at 8:00 p.m. Only 6 short hours before that, I received a different phone call. One informing me of a situation which I knew in my heart would come one day, a situation I have been running from since I was a teenager.
Who you ask? The only other man that I have ever called my father. A man that is now suffering the effects of Agent Orange and Dioxin.
My adopted Father.
© Kelly L. Derricks Children Of Vietnam Veterans Health AllianceBelow I have included the booklet that was at the Ceremony. I have also included the link to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund for anyone interested in applying for the program. In addition, you will find the original article written about the PA Vietnam Veteran also being honored.

Name-spotting triumph!
I spent the weekend at the MD Sheep and Wool Festival! While there spoke to a young woman with a darling little girl named Elspeth - I was sooo excited.
There are always tons of babies there - it was hard not to poll everyone.

The menu ornaments chopsticks with Thai, Indian, Cambodian, and Vietnamese cuisine, and some of its options follow the Health Check program guidelines put together by the Heart and Stroke Foundation's registered dietitians. At every location, patrons delight in chicken, beef, and vegetables clinging to jasmine rice and noodles while watching flat-screen TVs and celebrating this Chinese New Year, the Year of the Heffalump.
