The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has told manufacturers of antibacterial soaps and body washes to demonstrate that they are both safe and effective within the next year. New evidence is emerging that some of the chemicals used in soaps, toothpaste, dish detergent, and other common household products may pose hazards for human health and the environment. The FDA's proposed final rule would require manufacturers to demonstrate efficacy and safety or the products could be reformulated or removed from the market.
The announcement was made in response to pressure from environmental and consumer groups. After years of FDA foot-dragging, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) sued in 2010 to force the FDA to issue a final rule to regulate the antimicrobial chemicals that are spreading to more and more products and are commonly used in schools and other institutions.
The agency stresses that, although millions of Americans use these products, believing them to help prevent the spread of germs, "there is currently no evidence that they are any more effective at preventing illness than washing with plain soap and water." "Especially because so many consumers use them," the FDA writes in an update specifically geared for consumers, "there should be clearly demonstrated benefits to balance any potential risks."
Pesticides in Handsoap and Toothpaste?
Of particular concern to the FDA are the commonly used antibacterial chemicals triclosan and triclocarban. Triclosan is a pesticide first registered with the EPA for usage in 1969, but today 93 percent of liquid antibacterial soaps contain triclosan, and triclocarban is commonly used in bar soaps. The FDA also approved the use of triclosan in Colgate in 1997. Not only may these chemicals be contributing to bacterial resistance to antibiotics, but they may also have unanticipated hormonal effects.
Triclosan replaced the use of hexachlorophene after it was banned from household items in 1972. At first it was used primarily in hospitals -- by surgeons preparing for surgery, for example -- but in the 1990s, it started to be more widely used in household products ranging from clothing to kitchen knives to toys to soap.

This Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared for improvements to the 718-acre Fairweather Fishing Access Site (FAS), which has been a popular recreational site since its acquisition by Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks (FWP) in 1972. The FAS is located along the Missouri River 16 miles north of Logan, Montana. The site provides quality recreational opportunities for fishing, boating, floating, hunting, picnicking, and wildlife viewing. Due to changing flows of the Missouri River and winter ice jams, river currents have undercut, scoured, and eroded the boat ramp and launch staging area. As a result, boat launching has become difficult and unsafe. FWP proposes to construct a new boat ramp in a more protected location, move the launch staging area, and move and expand the parking area. FWP will continue to manage the site for day use only.

State Bar to Host National Workshop on Client Protection
Albuquerque, N.M.—The State Bar of New Mexico and the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of New Mexico are sponsoring the 2011 National Client Protection Organization Fall Workshop Oct. 4–5 at the Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino in Santa Fe.
Representatives of client protection organizations from around the country are invited to attend the two-day annual workshop which will give participants the opportunity to share best practices, challenges, and current issues. Client protection has become a mainstay throughout the country with every state providing the means for the public to receive reimbursement for losses caused by the dishonest conduct of lawyers. These organizations play a vital role in their communities by giving consumers a viable remedy when attorney misconduct has resulted in monetary loss. Despite the high standards of ethical conduct required of and generally maintained by attorneys, there are and will be a very small number of lawyers who are not worthy of the trust that their clients place in them. All state bars maintain a strong disciplinary system for the purpose of reprimanding, suspending or disbarring lawyers who violate the strict standards of professional conduct. However, the profession recognizes that a disciplinary system alone is not enough, and that it is desirable to maintain a client protection fund to assist the public with effective action when lawyers mishandle their clients' funds.
Justices Edward L. Chávez and Richard Bosson, both of the New Mexico Supreme Court, will welcome attendees to New Mexico. Additional speakers include John Holtaway and Selina Thomas of the American Bar Association and leaders of client protection organizations from around the country: Dan Hendi, New Jersey; Tim O'Sullivan, New York; Kathy Peifer, Pennsylvania; Eileen Donahue, Illinois, Ed Ehler, New Jersey; Ruby Cochran, New Jersey; Fred G. Miller, New York; and Patrick Roberson, Maryland.
The workshop will focus on issues that affect the administration of client protection funds, including a discussion of the stress encountered by attorneys, scams and what can be done, what happens when an attorney with an active practice dies, dealing with attorneys with dual roles such as insurance brokers or financial planners, case management systems, and protecting a fund's reserves. In addition, a town hall meeting will enable participants to exchange ideas.
New Mexico, with one of the smallest funds in the country due to the size of our legal community, is honored to be the host of this year's workshop.
Visit http://www.nmbar.org/Attorneys/CPF/NCPOWorkshopAgenda.pdf to the full schedule.
Note: News media are welcome to attend and cover this event. Please notify Christine Morganti, email@example.com or (505) 797-6028 if you plan to attend.
The State Bar of New Mexico was organized in 1886 and is composed of more than 8500 members. Its purposes are to aid the courts in administering justice and preserving the rule of law, and to foster a high standard of integrity and competence within the legal profession.

By now you've probably heard the disturbing news that Beyonce might have lip-synched the national anthem at President Obama's inauguration. We know…it's been a tough 24 hours – but we've pulled together and we're through the worst of it now. Especially as the latest news is, Bey might not have mimed after all. Hurrah!
And being the consummate professional that she is, Beyonce has cleverly thrown a new project out there to distract us. She's only gone and launched a bloomin' lifestyle blog [round of applause]. But hang on, an A-list star blogging about her favourite films, books, music, food and fashion…hmmm, this sound familiar. It'll come to us in a minute. Meanwhile, 10 things we've learnt from obsessively studying the Beyhive Blog (geddit?)…
1. Beyonce's indie record is much cooler than yours…
Yes she's a multi-platinum, Grammy award winning, MTV dominating, pop juggernaut. But in her spare time Bey likes nothing more than kicking back with an obscure indie record. This week, the actually quite brilliant Lykke Li.
2. But she likes a bit of hip hop, too
Namely, rappers Kendrick Lemar and A$AP Rocky. We wonder if hubby Jay-Z knows about Kendrick's song, 'Beyonce' which has lyrics including "I can day dream about Beyonce all day, Thinkin about the good times before she met Jay." FIGHT.
3. Her fans like to draw pictures of her
There's a special section on the website for fan art. It's erm, interesting.
4. She likes a nice night in with a DVD
This week, it's Beasts of the Southern Wild, whose star Quvenzhané Wallis is the youngest ever nominee for the Best Actress award at the Oscars. Good choice Bey, we approve.
5. No sibling rivalry to see here
Beyonce agrees with what the rest of the world already knows – Solange's 'Losing You' is mega.
6. Beyonce is an Andy Murray fan
She thanks both him and Serena Williams for "showing us that anything is possible" and calls him "the true definition of inspiration." Reports that she is currently recording a single called 'C'mon Andy!' have yet to be confirmed.
7. And she likes a bit of modern art
Currently…French artist Sophie Calle, sculptor Shinichi Maruyama and insect artist (?) Christopher Marley.
8. You can stalk Beyonce at the following New York restaurants
Brooklyn's Vinegar Hill, and Prune and Il Buco in the East Village. Let's go!
9. She loves the Bee Gees
Nuff said.
10. Oh yeah, it's a bit like Goop
Ah ha…we knew it would come to us! Beyonce's Beyhive is rather like her best mate Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop…only with less organic tofu and more rappers from Compton.

How do I Hide Cords to a Flat Panel Wall Mount TV?
Flat panel televisions' appeal largely rests upon their clean, uncluttered appearance. In the past, large floor-standing televisions did the work of hiding the connected cables through their sheer bulk and size. Flat panels, especially those wall-mounted, do not have this trait. Hiding the wires leading to the flat panel is therefore a top priority to anyone wanting to maintain a clean and cable-free installation. Do-it-yourself wire molding kits are available to hide these wires, regardless of the type of environment.
Things You'll Need
- Wire-hiding channel molding kit
- Tape measure
- Scissors or saw
- Paint/stain (optional)
Cut the channel kit, following the measurements. Make the cut(s) using a pair of scissors or saw.
Pop off the cover of the channel kit. Press the cabling leading to the flat panel into the channel.
Remove the film protecting the adhesive strip from the back of the channel kit. Double-check your alignment with the wall and television/equipment rack. Press the channel to the wall.
Snap the channel kit's cover over the lower section housing the wires. Paint or stain the kit, if desired.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Routing power cords through a channel kit is code-compliant.
- The adhesive on these kits is very strong. You may remove the upper layer of drywall upon removal. Always make sure the kit is in position prior to committing to its placement.

Braque's The Portuguese
Cold Coffee and Analytic Cubism
To understand Cubism it helps to go back to Cézanne's still life paintings or even further, to the Renaissance. Let me use an example that worked nicely in the classroom. I was lecturing, trying to untangle Cubism while drinking incresingly cold coffee from a paper cup. I set the cup on the desk in the front of the room and said, "If I were a Renaissance artist in mid-15th century Italy painting that cup on that table, I would position myself at particular point in space and construct the surrounding objects and space frozen in that spot and from that single perspective. On the other hand, if this was the late 19th century and I was Cézanne, I might allow myself to open this view up quite a bit. Perhaps I would focus on, and record, the perceptual changes of shape and line that result when I shift my weight from one leg to the other or when I lean in toward the cup to get a closer look. I might even allow myself to render slightly around the far side of the paper cup since, as Cézanne, I am interested in vision and memory working together. Finally, if I were Braque or Picasso in the early 20th century, I would want to express even more on the canvas. I would not be satisfied with the limiting conventions of Renaissance perspective nor even with the initial explorations of the master Cézanne.
As a Cubist, I want to express my total visual understanding of the paper coffee cup. I want more than the Renaissance painter or even Cézanne, I want to express the entire cup simultaneously on the static surface of the canvas since I can hold all that visual information in my memory. I want to render the cup's front, its sides, its back, and its inner walls, its bottom from both inside and out, and I want to do this on a flat canvas. How can this be done? The answer is provided by The Portuguese. In this canvas, everything was fractured. The guitar player and the dock was just so many pieces of broken form, almost broken glass. By breaking these objects into smaller elements, Braque and Picasso are able to overcome the unified singularity of an object and instead transform it into an object of vision. At this point the class began to look a little confused, so I turned back to the paper cup and began to tear it into pieces (I had finished the coffee). If I want to be able to show you both the back and front and inside and outside simultaneously, I can fragment the object. Basically, this is the strategy of the Cubists.

This is a great website! I love the accessibility and the whole project and the informative but casual tone. It is a truly innovative teaching idea and I look forward to seeing it develop. My only question about this Cubism page is, who is the Portuguese? A web search indicates that he was a musician from Marseilles--but what instrument is in the picture? More attention to these details would help. (Hi Julie and Steven!)

Coming together
I got home yesterday. I'm still flat out exhausted, and I seem to be getting some mild chemo side effects (heartburn and reflux, mostly) but the troubles that sent me to the hospital have been under control for the past day, which is a good start. I'm on all new pain meds and hoping this regimen will work. I have to go get bloodwork at the oncologist's tomorrow so if I happen to need any triage to get me through Christmas, they should be able to handle it.
Katie and I have spent the last day bonding and getting reacquainted, which has been amazing for me. Tyler got to go out all afternoon yesterday with friends for a much needed break. My mom spent most of the weekend here caring for K and baking Christmas goodies (petits fours as requested by my brothers). Tyler and I finally got the Christmas tree decorated and I'm almost done sewing Katie's present. I made menu and put my mom in charge of Christmas breakfast & dinner. My siblings will start converging on our house on Christmas Day, half the grandparents will be here to open presents, and they'll all be here for Christmas dinner. My sister and her daughter will be here the rest of the week and I'm super excited about having them here. Tyler's gift appeared in the mail and there are a few stocking stuffers to open. It's all coming together – we should have a pretty good Christmas.

Book of Excuses 4:21-23February 2nd, 2010 |
To all who read this, especially the two out of seven of you who actually come here Tuesday looking for an update eagerly, I may not make the comic today. I KNOW I KNOW! It's patch day! The Torment-iest Torment of the Week there is.
Rest assured, I am working hard on pumping it out today. You should know though, I'm working on something big. Yeah. something kinda 5 part big. I know, what could be bigger than Ultimus? Well, read back a statement, I never said it was bigger than Ultimus. I just said it was big.
In other news, if you want to pay a poor momentarily disabled artist a visit get to woweh.com now.
I'm not just saying that because the comic I drew for her is on her site. I'm saying that because her site is the reason this site exists. I had doodlings and sketchings and vague ideas of humor, but it was her website that inspired me to try to live up to that. Here's an instruction: click the comics link and read away, you won't regret it, especially the ones involving King Varian
Douchebag Wrynn. I was about to mention one specifically, but I realized I liked them both too much. You'll have to read them all to know what I'm talking about!
But seriously, I'm in a hallowed state right now. Yeah, that might be too much, but Cadistra mentioning me on the website is…is…well, I can't think of an adjective for it, but I'm sure one of you can find something that means "pure-aza's-not-worthy-ness". It's like when I walked into Ulduar for the first time…or like the first time Ultimus invited me to a raid without incessant harrassing…except I feel far more unworthy. I guess it's more like the time I walked into St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and slapped Pope Benedict during mass. Yeah that's more of the unworthy flow I'm going for, minus the disrespect.
Alright guys, enough excuses. I'm gonna try to take a nap type thing and get you guys something to read, though by the time I'm done, you'll all be farmin' Frostwing Halls.

Query: McNutt/Nutt
7/11/2014 23:28:29
Ben McNutt
661 Hull Avenue
Lewisburg, TN 37091
I'm currently researching one of our oldest (almost) confirmed ancestors. His name was David NUTT. According to an old diary entry from a grandson, he was born to MCNUTT parents. It seems he changed his name sometime in the late 1700′s. As it pertains to Orange County, NC, he was the sheriff (exact year unknown) in the range from 1770′s to 1790′s. Several sources say he was born in Maryland in 1746 and traveled to Pennsylvania, then North Carolina. I am trying to find out more about his early years in hopes of finding out about his parents or siblings. They are listed in several sources, but I can't find any records of them. David married Rachel CATES, who later moved to Bedford county, Tennessee. "
If you have information on the above persons, or access to relevant records, feel free to leave a REPLY below.
3 Responses to "Query: McNutt/Nutt"
Researching land records, I did NOT find any McNutt in Granville Grants in Old Orange Co. I did NOT find any McNutt in early Orange Co. deed records (via Lost Deed book/court records). I then looked into these same records for Nutt/Nut – and nothing. Therefore, we can be fairly certain he did NOT buy land between 1752-1790′s. However, looking in the deed records, David Nutt purchased (8/16) land July 1, 1797 from Samuel Turrentine. This land (202a) is located at the mouth of Indian Branch on the Little River. He then purchases land from John Cate Aug 21, 1801 (10/208) and Mary Cate Aug 10, 1802 (10/209).
John Cate land referenced that John inherited this land from his father Benjamin Cate. There isnt one bit of information about how many acres etc. in this deed.The deed by Mary states – land …by the said will of her husband Benjamin Cate…Once again – NO location, no acreage etc.
The deed index also shows James Nutt, Absolom Nutt, Robert Nutt Sr., and wife Jane, Robert Nutt Jr., and Erasmus Nutt. All these Nutt family members are 180x to 1822 dates, and Erasmus 1850.
David Nutt sells his land to Joseph Woods on Feb 14, 1805 (12/71)202acres on Little River. This is exactly the same land he purchased from Turrentine, but NOTHING showing the Cate purchases. This deed from 1805 shows his location still being IN Orange Co. – hopefully this will help time his move out of NC. There are NO other land records pertaining to David Nutt in Orange Co.
There are NO McNutt, or Nutt State Land Grants listed (1778-1890).
I forgot to mention – There are NO records as to a Nutt or McNutt as Sheriff of Orange Co. However, I will point out to you that David Nutt purchased land from Samuel Turrentine – WHO WAS SHERIFF of Orange Co. Do you think this is how the story got altered? Is it possible that David "bought land from Sheriff of Orange Co.? I will say this, the Turrentine family fought in the Revolution and lived in the Little River area of Orange Co. Their family cemetery is not too far from my house. I very active and prominent family of old Orange.
LASTLY – I found a road record to Robert Nutt's Blacksmith Shop – Feb 1809. (nothing else listed from the years 1786-1820)
Thank you very much. You've done a lot of research and know the area and time period really well.
This is very interesting. Maybe the sheriff misconception came about like you said (because of the land purchase). I would be really interested in finding some information from the Turrentine family to see if they had any other dealings with David Nutt. As for the Cates family. The information I have lists Rachel Cates as the daughter of Benjamin Cates, I think. Rachel supposedly Married David Nutt in 1797 (when David Nutt was 51). Thanks again, Ben

This recipe is from Curly's Pub located in Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. I love beer cheese soup. This stuff is so creamy and so easy to make with easy to find ingredients. If you have an immersion blender you can blitz this right in the pan. Otherwise you can take it to your blender. Top with some unbuttered popcorn. GO PACK GO!!! :) UPDATED: I checked the recipe and it did call for 6 cans of beer, but it cannot be right. I called Curly's Pub at the stadium and got the correction from them at 2 cans of beer. The recipe they had given out was for the larger amounts made for the restaurant. 6 Cans of beer makes a bit more sense then. LOL.

Good production woodworking
By Tom C. from Rhinelander, WI on Jan 02, 2013
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
The main thing that attracted me to this product was its dimensions ---perfect for what we needed. What pleased me the most was the quality of the woodworking and the finishing. We live in an area of Wisconsin that has a lot of woodworkers, I just didn't want to burden any friends with a request for this item. It came well packed, assembled in minutes and was in a beautiful finish with good hardware that is almost invisible.

In Victorian London, fourteen-year-old Modo, a shape-changing hunchback, becomes a secret agent for the Permanent Association, which strives to protect the world from the evil machinations of the Clockwork Guild.
First of a series.
I used to have an old Volvo that broke down frequently. The problem was a hose that would fly off of the engine. I always carried a screwdriver which I would use to reattach the hose and go on my way. One morning I was rushing in the door to work after one of these episodes when my supervisor stopped me. "What happened to you?" she asked with concern. I had no idea what she was talking about until I followed her eyes down to my arms and realized that my forearms were covered with black dirt and grease.
I explained about having to fix my car on the way to work, and she just stood and stared at me silently for a very awkward minute. Suddenly she burst into song! "I am woman. Hear me roar. With numbers too big to ignore. And I've come too far to turn back and pretend." She turned to walk away but kept on singing at the top of her lungs. Her song only died away when she turned the corner and went down the other hall.
Right then and there I decided to get a new car.
The wars of Charlemagne against declining Rome provide the backdrop to this tale of a female shapeshifter who finds herself a pawn to court intrigue.
A collection by an award-winning author includes ten short tales, eighteen poems, and the title story in which a child survives a plane crash and enters a Dream Time of primitive myths and an all-knowing coyote. The included werewolf tale is from the wolves' point of view.
Sword Song by Rosemary Sutcliff
"Just go! A man with a sword need never lack the means of life--or death. If after five years you still live and you shall be free to return and take your place in the settlement again, it may be that I shall be able to stand the sight of you."
With these harsh words from his chief, Bjarni Sigurdson, a young Viking swordsman, is banished from his home.
Kokopelli's Flute by Will Hobbs
Tepary Jones hiked to the ruins of the ancient city on the night of a total lunar eclipse. He had always felt the magic of the forgotten spaces, but tonight the place seemed especially alive, its pictures of animal and mystic figures telling pieces of stories long forgotten.

Racist scum or just one of the boys having a laugh?
EDITED BY tessa_mail 13/01/09 15:57
Racist scum or just one of the boys having a laugh?
EDITED BY tessa_mail 13/01/09 15:57
Oh come on....................................of course it is boys just having a laugh. To refer to the by their country of origin by name is no "racist" than the title of that show "Little Englander". So lets all grow up shall we and return to common sense.
Racism is a dreadful thing, it is full of malice, anger and fear has much more serious and grave connotations. It goes way beyond a namecalling and people are too quick to scream racist for all the wrong reasons. The result of this to to actually diminish the real serious nature of dangerous racism.
Oh please, what a load of old nonsense. I would rather have our great royal family and traditional British values of A SENSE OF HUMOUR and FREEDOM OF SPEECH than the jumped up, pathetic, minority worshipping, liberal fascism that has been imposed on large swathes of our gullible population. There are many people that do not find these remarks racist at all. Harry is in the army and like any young, male dominated area, there is banter and joking around. The news media, especially the socialist BBC is so biased and unfair. I think for a start, people can only have a constructive point of view, when they have actually taken the time to watch the actual footage. Of course news sources like the BBC don't actually have the video for people to see, they just have a correspondent and an article describing the video:
Of course no one objects when people make slurs against Americans by calling them Yanks. I could take offence to that because my wife is American but I have a sense of humour and see it as a joke. It make me so angry to hear these pointless racial equality quangos, human rights quangos, no good, crooked politicians and liberal idiots all sticking their two pence worth in. The most despicable comment was made by Ramadhan foundation, calling Harry a thug. Maybe in Pakistan or some other Islamic country, they stomp out freedom of speech and a sense of humour but in the west, the vast majority or normal, ordinary, non-PC people, actually like banter and freedom of speech.
In conclusion, to hell with whining minorities that look for excuses to play the victim and to hell with the fascist liberal establishment, who incidentally, are the very people that would ditch our monarchy and Britain's traditions, in a heartbeat.
I saw the clip on television and I will most certainly defend Harry,as he is most certainly NOT undefendable.I doubt very much that you have fought for your country Scotlander. How come it takes 3 years for a complaint. Can't you see that those offended by his words are the "professionally offended".Someone here is just anti-royal,PC,wishy washy lefty, and probably hoping to make a few bob off the back of this. Storm in a teacup best sums this up,absolutely-no-news story and not worth getting out of the pram over.Originally Posted by scotlander4
The offended,if indeed there are any really offended, are those with no backbone and completely lacking in the "sticks and stones" philosophy of the true Brit. As for an MOD inquiry,I would like to see them inquire into the woeful safety provisions made for soldiers first, and then bother about what Harry said 3 years ago,not the other way round.
It won't do to excuse away Harry's remark as an affectionate use of the soldiers nickname.This would only have made sense if the words "****" and "friend" in what he said had been reversed.I disagree too with the many who see the word as no more than an innocent abreviation.If the word is now understood and established,for whatever reason ,to be sneeringly racist and to be avoided then that's an end of it -the mystery of why this should be so is quite beside the point. As for the defence that there has been no complaint from the Pakistani soldier, this is so dishonest as to be laughable. That his lonely target would remain silent is something that Harry would have been slyly sure of before he ever opened his ignorant mouth.
What a ridiculous non-story.
Why is **** any more racist than Brit, Scot, Yank or Aussie?
Apparently this was said light-heartedly by Harry, and frankly I am sure far more derogatory name calling goes on in the armed forces regardless of race, colour or creed.
Leave this kid alone. Overall he is coming across as an okay guy who is maturing well. He is only in his early 20's and has had some pretty hard things to live with - the death of his mother at a crucial age for one thing.
Stories like this are stoking up racism where previously racism didn't exist.
Exactly my thoughts riverqueen, blown up out of all proportion as usual.Originally Posted by riverqueen
Can't help but feel that this story is being whipped up in the same media frenzy that we saw the Ross / Brand affair.
Also why are we calling Harry a thug, based on something that happened 3 years ago ? Is any young person of his age the same person they were 3 years prior? I doubt it very much.
This "non" story is laughable. The main item of the tv news and front pages!!!!
I saw the video and he did not say it in a racist way. Why is saying **** any more racist than calling someone a Brit, a Paddy, a Scouser etc etc?
This country is pathetic
It is a rare day when I stand up (either way you look at it) but this wasn't done in a racist way. If he had said on the video "Oh here come the ****" and carried on being rude about him of course that would have been, but it is a serviceman's way of going on. I wonder what Harry is called either within earshot or not.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has released a report for consultation, which assesses the probability of gypsy moth entering New Zealand via a used vehicle from Japan.
The document assesses the likelihood of gypsy moth egg masses entering New Zealand via used vehicles and hatching, leading to the establishment of the insect in New Zealand. Consultation on this report will determine whether the current import health standard for importing used cars from Japan needs to be revised.
An import health standard specifies the requirements needed to effectively manage the risks associated with imported goods before they enter New Zealand.
The current import health standard applying to used vehicles from Japan came into force in 1997 under the Biosecurity Act 1993. It states that every used vehicle be inspected. Currently, used cars from Japan are inspected either pre-shipment in Japan, or on-arrival in New Zealand.
While the review focuses only on the used car pathway, the assessment concludes that there are alternative pathways for gypsy moths to enter New Zealand such as on vessels and shipping containers.
Following consultation, a decision will be made as to whether changes are required to the current import health standard.
Gypsy moths are native to Europe, parts of North America, much of Asia, the Russian Far East, Siberia and China. In the Eastern United States it has become the primary defoliator of hardwoods, with Oaks being the preferred host species.
Submissions close on 30 April 2000.

Noise of summer
Summer jams that show how the 1990s made us dumber
Published: August 27, 2012
The millennial generation is lucky. When they go out, the earbuds go in. They don't have to listen to the radio, and even get to laugh at a dying recording industry that can't force-feed them "hits."
But it seems like just yesterday it was different. Walking around the city each summer, there would be that one song you couldn't avoid. It'd be pounding out of cars, out of apartment windows, playing in the store, on the car radio. Usually, you'd just let it wash over you, learning to like it. You wouldn't even know it was Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three, you'd just know "the roof is on fire" and keep on walking. The summer jam kind of reached its zenith in the late 1980s, with tracks like 1988's "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock (see if you can listen and not start nodding) or 1989's "Pump Up the Jam" by Technotronic.
But by the 1990s, these songs of summer started getting so subnormal, so tweaked to appeal to below-average intellect, that they'd rightly earn their place as sports anthems or become culturally appropriated by Disney. Charting the 1990s musically, you get the sense of the national brain being gradually deprived of oxygen, going from thoughtful and experimental to 100-percent fool. By the end of the decade, you'd listen to summer hits in much the same way you'd stare at a Magic Eye image: trying to find what other people see in this jumble of nonsense. Follow the summer jam timeline.
1990: Black Box,
"Everybody, Everybody"
This international hit channeled disco in a good way, with warm synths worthy of a Rick-roll backing actual literate singing. The lyrics hark back to 1970s dance-oriented weepers about being left on your own. And the tension between the unhappy storyline ("Sad and free!") and the upbeat music makes this an interesting piece of music. The 1990s were off to a good start.
1991: C+C Music Factory,
"Gonna Make You Sweat
(Everybody Dance Now)"
By 1991, it was already clear things were going awry. Whereas at least C+C Music Factory had a lyrical message that was pure disco ("let the rhythm move you"), the music was going in a stripped-down, super-repetitive, pants-shakin' direction where there's never enough agogo bell. What's more, this track has some of the dumbest raps imaginable, courtesy of Freedom Williams, including: "It's your world and I'm just a squirrel, trying to get a nut to move your butt to the dance floor." Dude, really?

A word from Sino Restaurant & Lounge
Sino, the second endeavor of culinary artist Chris Yeo, was envisioned to entice the palette with the tradition of Dim Sum and the wonders of modern Chinese cuisine. Grand in scale, Sino offers an intimacy and sensuality that is unparalleled- from the warmth of the dining room adorned with billowing crimson curtains and layers of gossamer, to the plush and luxurious appointments of the lounge where comfort and beauty beckon you to stay a while.Continued

- Too Loud to TalkCapnTomDined on 11/22/2014We made reservations there to meet with old friends, whom we haven't seen in a decade or more. We knew we were in trouble as soon as we walked in: the decibel level in the entry / bar area was about equivalent to standing near a jet aircraft ready to take off. Really. Fortunately, we were seated as far away from the music as possible, but the loud music still made conversation very difficult. Both my wife and I were hoarse the next day from trying to make ourselves heard over the din. I honestly don't know where this restaurant's risk managers are. The sound level at the front of the establishment is clearly sufficient to cause measurable, permanent hearing loss after even an hour of exposure; I can't imagine how much ear damage the staff are experiencing, unless they are wearing hearing protection (which I did not see). I see BIG workers comp claims or hearing loss lawsuits in the offing. That said, the food was terrific, as we expected, having been fans of the "Straits" store in San Francisco when it was open. Service was perfect, too. But the noise level was simply unconscionable, perhaps almost criminal... Tom Snyder, MD
- Fun with friends at SINOSnacknpackDined on 11/8/2014If you expect the food to come out fast... This is not the place for you! However if you want to ENJOY the company of friends, great cocktails and great food this IS the place!!! I love this place because I never feel rushed and I can enjoy my special occasion...I will return again and again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sino'sBogusDined on 10/25/2014The reservation was made for 6:30pm Sat. We didn't get seated until 7:15pm because they accidentally gave our table away. Poor seating serviceSpecial Features:
- Great location but disappointingRobinVIPDined on 10/19/2014What used to be a reliably good place is now a dud. Pre-fab food and indifferent service. Loud music and poor lighting attempt to compensate for passe outdated vibe. Needs a facelift & new fresh food.
- Excellent RestaurantGaryDined on 10/18/2014This hostess and waitress were excellent very attentive and courteous. I would recommend then to all my family and friends. I have eaten here many times before and it is always excellent. Food served hot and fresh .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sino Restaurant and Loungekpenn08Dined on 10/11/2014Good service and the food is good but a bit pricey. Nice ambiance, but we went after 8 on a Saturday night and the club music from the bar is turned up really loud and comes into the restaurant.Special Features:
- Always great!FozzytazDined on 9/27/2014Have been to Sino for lunch & dinner, and have never been disappointed!!Special Features:
- Gone downhillomarjVIPDined on 9/25/2014Took forever to get food. Even then, was cold and order incomplete. It was also noisy as hell inside, couldn't carry on a conversation.
- High energy restaurant; Good foodEastBayCustomerVIPDined on 9/20/2014Lively atmosphere with very good quality Chinese cuisine and excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- all around good experiencehungryandcuteDined on 9/12/2014There was an hour long wait list when we arrived but we were seated right away because we had a reservation. The wait staff was very attentive, and helpful. The food was delicious. We had kung-pao chicken lollipops, firecracker chicken, ginger chicken, and brown rice. We enjoyed ourselves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SinoJaniceVIPDined on 9/11/2014One of the best restaurants at Santana Row! Great food and service. The only negative thing I can say is that we were celebrating a birthday (made a note on our reservation) but unfortunately they did not acknowledge it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- sino restaurantdinetowineVIPDined on 9/7/2014Four of us went for dinner. We ordered two starters and two main dishes. I thought the food was good. There was plenty to go around. Some dishes were better than others. Good flavors for all the dishes we had. Good service and good ambience. If you don't want to listen to the "loud" music coming from the bar, you have to ask for a table way in the back.Special Features:
- Service needs a little help!NYQ1VIPDined on 8/31/2014I love Sino overall, but they need to work on their service a little more. You sit for 20 mins to give order... Anyways, The waitress we had last night gave two of us the table of 6. I asked to move us to the table of two so we could sit close to each other. The waitress/hostess said why don't you move your chair close to him ? I said.. you have a table of two in the other room.... she said oh it's busy.... I made reservation ahead of time via opentable ( I am a regular client of both OT and Sino) so SINO should at least give us table of two as requested at the time of reservation. This doesn't mean I will stop going to Sino, but it can surely kill your romantic mood for the day when you have to sit awkwardly with your spouse on a date.
- Trendy Asian FusionDanielleVIPDined on 8/29/2014Great atmosphere. Loved the food and music. Made for a wonderful start to an evening out with the girls!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service ok, food goodKk1234Dined on 8/24/2014I went here with my family and my boyfriend on Sunday night. The front looks really fun for singles or people who are looking for a fun bar scene. We sat in the back, and were grateful that the music was quieter because in the front it was overwhelming. Our server was nice but really could have been better for the price. He came by only a few times and didn't smile and seemed annoyed. The food was good but nothing spectacular. Oversalted and no special flavors. Remembered this more of a dim sum place that had good asian food but now it feels much more American.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to go w/ 20 somethingsFutroniDined on 8/22/2014Celebrated my birthday here with my kids and their girlfriends. Great atmosphere for them and the food was delicious! Love that you can sample small plates. Got a thumbs up from my boys. Jason was pretty great too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Trendy modern Asian cuisine; LoudEastBayCustomerVIPDined on 8/16/2014Trendy modern Chinese cuisine; Loud music on Friday and Saturday nights; Younger crowdsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- C+SHoxhaDined on 8/8/2014It looks like this place is going downhill,, food is still remaining good, but service used to be great when Chris was around, now the service is horrible slow even our food was cold,,,,,Special Features:
- Interesting eats..AussieinusaDined on 7/31/2014We have been to Sino a few times before and always loved it. However this time was the exception. The service was very good but for some reason the food just wasn't up to par. My friend who is vegetarian ordered fried rice with no meat (and he found meat!), they did credit the meal but this was a terrible mistake. Additionally the rice was very bland and had hardly any flavour. If you do come here be sure to get the carrot cake. It is the best in the world!Special Features:
- The following 735 reviews are from the Sino Restaurant & Lounge reviews archive.
- Aside from noise, accomodatingSJDinerDined on 7/23/2014We had a work group that wanted to have a meal and catch up. This location was ideal except for the volume of the music in the bar. Before we were seated we had to shout to one another at the bar couch seating and it was almost impossible to have a decent conversation. Once we went to our table in the back (far from the loud music) it was the perfect atmosphere to converse. Also, the server was great, I wish I could recall his name.Special Features:
- Reservations needed!NoTableDined on 7/4/2014We made reservation for outdoor seating and got 5 minutes early. When they walked us to our table it was already taken. some passerby just saw the table open and sat down and ordered a drink. They asked if we would like to sit inside. I said no , we made reservation for outside. They put us in an empty inside outside patio and told us to wait ten minutes another table is opening! They made no effort of telling the guy that he has taken someone else's spot! 20 minutes later we decided to just eat where we were sitting since there was still no opening and our 8 month boy was happy playing on the sofa. Food was decent, but seriously the waitress and hostess should really have some communication, otherwise why bother with reservation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a great experienceduckbillDined on 6/28/2014Fun menu - Chinese favorites re-invented plus originals. We had Sangria (not what you'd expect at a "Chinese" place, but very good), seafood risotto (same), an excellent shrimp wonton soup, with large shrimp inside the wontons, among other things. The front of the restaurant is very loud, but we were seated in the back, and were able to converse.Special Features:
- Sino Customer Servicegolden7foodieDined on 6/26/2014Overall, the ambience of the place is good. There is mood setting lighting, nice decorations and good music. However, waiters tend to ignore customers who are seated for a long time. I had to keep waving the waiter over. It made the whole experience longer than planned. The food was fresh and creative. I would just come back for the food honestly, but service could get better. I do really like the fact that if you make a reservation it is help for you. That is a good thing. It shows that your reservation and your attendance is important.Special Features:
- GOOD, BUT EXPECTED MORELadybugVIPDined on 6/21/2014I have eaten here once or twice before, but it has been a while. We went on a Saturday night and decided to wait for a table outside so we could people watch. Once seated, the service was VERY slow. The table next to us received and ate an entire crab before we got any service and even longer just to get water. The food was good, but blander then I had expected. The dim sum was better than the main meal items. If I go back again, it will most likely be only for dim sum and drinks. There are many other restaurants in Santana Row with better food and service. The atmosphere was great. Definitely geared toward a younger hip crowd. The music in the bar was good, but so loud you couldn't carry on a conversation without yelling.Special Features:
- Bad service, bad mealOpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 6/19/2014Eaten at Sino many times, this however was the worst meal along with bad service. Dishes came to the table cold. No spoons to dish up our chicken lettuce wraps, cold shrimp, cold ribs. I guess when our food came up they just let it sit there. Our server did not even come back to check on us and the bus boy was the one who brought us our check. So very bad we will not go back and I could not recommend Sino to anyone anymore. So very sad to see this happen. No management was visible and it was apparent. Nothing worse than spending over $100 for a poor meal.
- Food and Service Were Very GoodLove2dineDined on 6/17/2014We made a business dinner reservation for 5 and ended up with 6, so were reseated and well taken care of. We trusted our waitress Emily to order for a family style meal and she did a great job.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Father's Day Dinner -HORRIBLENuvj30Dined on 6/15/2014We took our Dad out to dinner for Father's Day. I had reservations so after checking in they sat us down fairly fast. We ordered drinks, appetizers and main course all at the same time. It took them 35 minutes to bring our appetizers and 1hr 30 minutes to bring the main course from the time we ordered. Tables around us were empty and it didn't see busy. We had our waitress check up on the food several times but she kept saying she has asked the guys back there and they are working on it... I am not sure what that meant. Anyways it turned beautiful night in to a horrible waiting game... Will not be ever returning to the restraurant. Do not take your loved ones to Sino's for special events.Special Features:
- Food just okay, service horribleKrisDined on 6/15/2014I hate to give a bad review. I know how hard servers work. We were a party of 7, ordered dim sum off the checklist menu. Saw very little of our server. Requested drinks mid-meal, which seemed to take 20 minutes (maybe the bar was slow?). Requested ice for the tepid glasses of water, that took a very long time (requested twice, perhaps the food runner or busboy that we asked it for forgot, we had to ask twice. Ditto with a request for soy sauce on the table. food was very slow to come out, but when we were done eating, a busboy came out and was grabbing plates so quickly, that a few of us had chopsticks and silverware dropped in our laps (a few too many red bulls on his shift?). Been to Sino before, usually nice. Maybe an off day.Special Features:
- Nothing specialOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/14/2014We ordered dim-sum, spicy chicken, eggplant and shrimp. The dim-sum was good, but the rest was nothing special. The chicken and shrimp seemed to have been sitting a while as they were not very (heat) hot. Overall not a great experience.
- Turn down the music!! Way too LOUD!luv2sampledishesDined on 6/14/2014Our waitress was OUTSTANDING!!! Smart, attractive, personable, fun, one of the best we've ever had!!! The food came out very slowly, but that wasn't her fault. The music is way too loud, esp. in the front and around the bar. I would never go back to the bar area for that reason. Who thinks loud music attracts people??? People go to a restaurant to have a conversation not to be screaming at each other. We no longer go to any restaurant where we have trouble talking and hearing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sino Slow Servicegolden7foodieDined on 6/11/2014This was my first time here. We had reservations. They sat us at a low table w/ high chairs. Needless to say it was hard to get in & out. It took 35 min from the time we sat down to receive service from the waitress. We just wanted water & recommendations. We got water, but add 20 min before she came back to ask if we wanted to start out with drinks. We ordered drinks & she left before we could order our food. She helped other tables who sat after us, but got their food before us, sped past us until I politely raised my voice to ask for assistance. When we finally ordered food we were both STARVING! We had been there over an hour+ already. When the food finally came, it was delicious and fresh. I just wish the service was better!Special Features:
- Great food and atmospherePugchanDined on 6/10/2014The food is always delicious at Sino - although the portion sizes have decreased. But the service was v v poor! It took AGES to get our order and we had to keep reminding our server to get our drinks! That too on a Tues night when things are slow!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Strange experiencereluctantreviewerDined on 6/7/2014After we were seated, for about 20-25 mins, no one came to even offer us water. My wife had to get up and ask a waiter to come to our table. After that, the service was prompt. We've been here before and never seen anything bizarre like this. We came here for lunch.
- Consistently Great FoodFoodieDined on 6/5/2014The food is unique, ample, and flavorful! The service is hit and miss. Even if they have open tables and offer them to the people in front of you, they may tell you that there is a 40 minute wait. The only way I've found to get around this is to make a reservation at Open Table. The waitress are variable too. Sometimes you get one that is very attentive and sometimes they will ignore you, not bring you silverware before your food arrives, or not bring you sweetener with your tea, etc. We would probably eat here a lot more often if it wasn't for the service staff. We eat out at Santana Row at least 4-5 times per week. We used to eat at Sino 2-3 times per week, but this past year we may eat here 1-2 times per month.Special Features:
- Subpar Service/Decent FoodSarEATaDined on 5/29/2014The service was very slow and our place settings were not properly taken care of. We got our dishes without serving utensils and our waitress disappeared for about 20 minutes. We had to flag down bus boys on at least three occasions to ask for silverware, clean plates, rice, water, new drinks, order food, etc. The food is usually much tastier from my past experiences. We ordered the Tangerine Beef and it was so tough we could barely chew through it and it was almost inedible. The Kumquat Chicken was very greasy. The Chicken Lolipops, Crabcakes and Fried Rice were really good.Special Features:
- Still great food, still very noisyMistyVIPDined on 5/24/2014We've been going here for years and enjoying the Asian fusion dishes. They just changed their drink list again, and the Triad was awesome. Our standard favorite dishes are salt and pepper (anything) and the Hong Kong crispy noodle. It's very loud, so not a place to take someone if you want to be able to talk without shouting.Special Features:
- Sino - Will go back for sureMicVeloDined on 5/14/2014If you like places that are live and full of energy, this is the place to go. (Not so much a romantic getaway spot.... as is the case for most restaurants on Santana Row). We ordered the Kung Pao Chicken "Lollipops"... not what we were expecting but oh so good!! To go with that we also ordered the "Char Siu Chilean sea bass. Very different. It was essentially fish cooked with char siu marinade. Again, not what we were expecting but good nonetheless. Finally, a plate of Hong Kong Crispy noodles. Excellent flavor. Would order all again but there's so many other enticing items on the menu, it'll be a while before we get those again. Service was good. Overall: B+ (a few points off for the long wait between dishes due to a banquet in back.)Special Features:
- Sino made Mother's Day great!CourtyDined on 5/11/2014I loved your waitstaff and your ambiance. The food was wonderful as always. The servers paid very good attention to the mothers in our group and made sure that we had plenty of food and drink. It was a very celebratory enviornment for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous Dim SumshappycamperVIPDined on 5/11/2014This is the best Chinese restaurant ever! The fabulous dim sums make it a unique and special dining adventure. Being at Santana Row is another great advantage! For older people, I suggest eating outside or at an off time as it is a vibrant, loud place for young people inside.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DebbieDined on 5/10/2014We enjoyed our dinner and will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

ASHBURN – Two of the Washington Redskins' veteran defensive players, linebacker London Fletcher and cornerback DeAngelo Hall, each reacted Thursday to Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis' announcement that he would retire at the end of this season after 17 years in the NFL:
Fletcher: "I think, you know, it's well-documented how great of a football player Ray has been. You think about playing a position for 17 years and not only playing it, but playing it at the level he has for so many years – that's tough to do. It's a lot of preparation that goes into it, a lot of dedication, commitment to excellence. He's one of the guys that I watch on film if we play a common opponent to try to see how he's maybe taking on playing an opponent. It's, I guess, bittersweet to see him hanging it up with how high he's played for a number of years."
Hall: "I don't believe it. I didn't believe it, I should say. He's a man of his word, though, so if he says he's gone, you know, he's more than likely gone. He's just brought so much to the game – brought so much to the game as far as defensive players go, man. It's him and D-Brooks and a couple other guys – Derrick Brooks, that is. Guys that have played the position that have kind of cultivated it to make it sexy, you know what I mean? Ray's made it sexy to be a middle linebacker in this National Football League. D-Brooks kind of did the same thing down in Tampa, being the outside backer catching picks and things like that, scoring touchdowns. They made it sexy to be defensive players, man. In a league that's so offensive driven, it's hard to kind of get that buzz. It took Fletch 12 years to actually get to a Pro Bowl, even though his numbers kind of justified he should've been there already. But just, when you don't play a sexy position or you don't approach it as a corner where you get to make more plays on the ball and things like that, you know, it's kind of tough. It's kind of tough to break through that wall. But like I said, Ray has definitely broken through that wall and he'll definitely be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. One of the greatest players to ever play that position."
