Navy Constructing $450 Million Ship Named for John Glenn
Ohio native was first American to orbit earth, flew 149 combat missions in WWII and Korea
The Glenn is under construction in San Diego, where a keel-laying ceremony signifying the initial step in construction was held earlier this week. When it enters the fleet, which is expected in 2015, the vessel will be 837 feet long and displace 80,000 tons when loaded. Navy officials say they can use it for both warfighting and humanitarian missions. The ship was in the Pentagon budget before the current debate over the fiscal cliff and defense spending cuts got under way. Meanwhile, NASA is no longer able to put astronauts in orbit because funding for manned flights ended when the space shuttles were grounded. John Glenn was a Marine pilot who became one of NASA's seven original Mercury astronauts. He was friendly with John F. Kennedy, who recruited him to become a politician. During his years in the Senate, he was among Ohio's most popular elected officials. Glenn ran for president in 1984 but didn't make it out of the primaries. He was a flop as a national candidate. Navy officials say they plan to build three ships similar to the USNS John Glenn, which are designed as giant sea-going supply and troop platforms. They can carry three hovercraft for amphibious operations. The Navy calls the ships Mobile Landing Platforms and says the design is based on the huge commercial supertankers that carry crude oil from Alaska.Glenn is in his nineties and attended the keel-laying ceremony. He is active and campaigned last fall for President Barack Obama's reelection.

Gay Marriage, Marijuana Legalized; Still No Apocalypse
With voter approval, Washington state embraces new freedoms
This morning, social conservatives around the world dug themselves into Armageddon-resistant bunkers, preparing for what they knew was coming. Today, marijuana and same-sex marriage were being legalized in Washington state. But the bunkers may have been a waste of time and money, considering the end of the world didn't occur. In fact, it seems like a lot of people are happy with the legal changes, which voters approved on Nov. 6. From the perspective of this CityBeat writer, same-sex marriage would be great. It's something I wrote about extensively before ("The Evolution of Equality," Nov. 28 issue). As a refresher, not only does same-sex marriage bring a host of benefits to same-sex couples, but it also produces economic benefits for everyone. A recent study from Bill LaFayette, founder of Regionomics LLC, found that legalizing gay marriage would grow Ohio's gross domestic product, which measures economic worth, by $100-$126 million within three years. Marijuana has similar benefits. Not only does it give people the freedom to put a relatively harmless plant into their bodies, but it also provides a big boon to state budgets. For Washington, it's estimated the marijuana tax will bring in as much as $500 million a year. Legalization also creates jobs and economic growth as businesses pop up to sell the product and customers buy the plant to toke up. Washington State's Office of Financial Management estimates the marijuana market will be worth about $1 billion in the state. Considering the state is about 2 percent of the U.S. population, that could be extrapolated to indicate a potential $50 billion nationwide market. Still, public use of marijuana and driving while intoxicated remain illegal. In a press conference Wednesday, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes said, "If you're smoking in plain public view, you're subject to a ticket. … Initiative 502 uses the alcohol model. If drinking in public is disallowed, so is smoking marijuana in public." The Seattle Police Department (SPD) seems a bit friendlier. In an email today, SPD told officers to only give verbal warnings until further notice. The warnings should essentially tell people to take their marijuana inside, or, as SPD spokesperson Jonah Spangenthal-Lee put it on the SPD Blotter, "The police department believes that, under state law, you may responsibly get baked, order some pizzas and enjoy a 'Lord of the Rings' marathon in the privacy of your own home, if you want to." The Washington law also faces possible federal resistance. Even though the state legalized pot, the drug is still illegal under federal law. That means the feds can still shut down marijuana businesses and arrest buyers, just like they have with legal medical marijuana dispensaries in the past. In fact, maybe the limitations are what's keeping the apocalypse at bay. Maybe social conservatives will get to make use of those bunkers if the rest of the country catches on to Washington's example.

Report Pushes Solar Cincinnati
Environment Ohio touts renewable energy's health, job benefits
A Dec. 5 report is encouraging Cincinnati to become the solar energy capital of Ohio and the broader region. The report, titled "Building a Solar Cincinnati," was put together by Environment Ohio to show the benefits and potential of Cincinnati regarding solar power. Christian Adams, who wrote the report along with Julian Boggs, says Cincinnati is especially poised to take charge in this renewable energy front, in contrast to the rest of the state, which gets 82 percent of its electricity from coal. Adams points to the sustainability-minded city officials and public, a "budding solar business sector" and the great business environment as the city as reasons why Cincinnati could become a pivotal leader. With 21 public solar installations to date, the city has already seen some of the benefits of solar power. The most obvious benefit is cleaner air, which leads to better overall health and helps combat global warming. But the report points out that local solar initiatives mean local jobs. "You can't export these jobs," Adams says. "It's a great opportunity for economic revitalization." With solar energy comes an array of job opportunities for solar installers, solar designers, engineers, construction workers, project managers, sales associates and marketing consultants. That's enough to create brisk job creation. The report points out "energy-related segments of the clean economy added jobs at a torrid pace over the last few years, bucking trends of the Great Recession." Still, there are hurdles. Although solar energy saves money in the long term, installing solar panels has a high upfront cost. The cost can make the short term too bleak for many potential customers. To help overcome the short-term problem, the report suggests third-party financing. In these financing agreements, customers agree to give up roof space to have a solar power company install solar panels, and then customers agree to buy their power needs from the company. It's a win for the solar power company because the panels eventually pay for themselves through new customers, and it's a win for the customer because he sees more stable, lower energy costs and cleaner air. Adams points out that a few businesses and individuals in the area have already taken part in such agreements with great success. There are also some incentives already in place to encourage solar energy. Ohio's Clean Energy Law, which was passed in 2008, pushes utility companies into the renewable energy market with Solar Renewable Energy Credits. These are credits utility companies must earn to meet annual benchmarks by installing solar panels or purchasing them from third parties. Duke Energy has followed the law's requirements by establishing its own renewable energy credit program. Ohioans also have access to some tax breaks — the Energy Conversion Facilities Sales Tax Exemption, Air-Quality Improvement Tax Incentives and Qualified Energy Property Tax Exemptions — and loan programs — the Energy Loan Fund and Advanced Energy Fund — that encourage solar and other renewable energy sources. Larry Falkin, director of the city's Office of Environmental Quality (OEQ), says the report didn't have much new information, but he's glad it can be used to push solar energy to the broader public. He touted the benefits of job creation and reducing reliance on foreign energy sources by moving toward energy independence. For now, the city is mostly taking the approach of leading by example. Falkin says the city is acting like a "model" for solar energy. Cincinnati added solar installations to two city facilities this year, and another will be added by the end of the month. Falkin's office is also working together with different organizations to keep any momentum going. Adams and Falkin both attended a Dec. 5 roundtable discussion that engaged regional officials, including solar businesses, environmental and sustainability groups, education leaders and the Cincinnati Zoo. They both said the roundtable went well. "I think all the right people are coming together and doing the right things to try to move us forward," Falkin says.

Morning News and Stuff
Redistricting deal in works, pro-Obama group fights locally, commissioners raise taxes
Redistricting reform may have died in front of voters, but will the state legislature pick up the pieces? Ohio Sen. Keith Faber, a Republican, and Ohio Sen. Nina Turner, a Democrat, say a deal is close. The senators say the task force in charge of finding a way to reform the state's redistricting system could release a report later this week, and a public hearing is scheduled for next week. The congressional redistricting process has scrutiny for decades as politicians have redrawn districts for political gain. The First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati, was redrawn during the Republican-controlled process to include Republican-leaning Warren County. The change was enough to dilute Cincinnati's Democratic-leaning urban core, shifting the district from politically mixed to safely Republican. A group in favor of President Barack Obama is taking the federal fight over taxes to a local level. Ohio Action Now is planning a Friday rally in front of U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot's office demanding that he accept tax hikes on individuals making more than $250,000. Chabot, who represents Cincinnati's congressional district, and other Republicans oppose the plan because it taxes what they like to call "job creators." However, research has shown taxing the wealthy is economically better than taxing the lower and middle classes. The International Monetary Fund also found in an extensive study that spending cuts hurt economies a lot, but tax hikes barely make a negative impact. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, is also criticizing Republicans for not accepting Obama's tax proposal. Hamilton County commissioners did not agree to raise the sales tax; instead, they will reduce the property tax rollback. For residential property owners, the tax hike adds $35 per $100,000 of a home's valuation. Commissioners say either a reduction in the rollback or a sales tax hike is necessary to balance the county stadium fund, which has undergone problems ever since the county made a bad deal with the Reds and Bengals. None of the current commissioners were in office when the original stadium deal was made. The city of Cincinnati and a city union have reached a deal on privatizing parking services. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) agreed not to oppose the plan after the city promised not to lay off union employees. As part of parking privatization, 25 union members will lose their current jobs, but they'll be transitioned into other city jobs. City Manager Milton Dohoney insists parking privatization is necessary in his budget plan if the city wants to avoid 344 layoffs. The public will be able to weigh in on the budget proposal today at 6 p.m. at City Hall and Dec. 10 at 6 p.m. at Corryville Recreation Center. Cincinnati City Council approved a resolution asking the state government for local control of fracking operations. But the resolution has no legal weight, so the state will retain control. Fracking has been criticized by environmentalists who see it as a possible cause of air pollution and water contamination. Critics also want to know what's in the chemicals used during the fracking process, but, under state law, companies are not forced to fully disclose such information. Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear will meet Dec. 12 in Covington to discuss a study funding the Brent Spence Bridge overhaul. Some, including Greater Cincinnati's Port Authority, have pushed for tolls to help fund the bridge project, but northern Kentucky lawmakers are strongly against the idea. The bridge, which links downtown Cincinnati and Covington, has been under heavy scrutiny due to deteriorating conditions and over-capacity. The city of Cincinnati and web-based SoMoLend are partnering to provide crowd funding to the city's small businesses and startups. The partnership, which was approved by the Small Business Advisory Committee, is meant to encourage job and economic growth. The Ohio Senate will rework a bill that revamps the school report card system. The bill seeks to enforce tougher standards on schools to put more pressure on improvement, but some Democrats have voiced concerns the new standards are too tough as the state replaces old standardized tests. A very early simulation from May showed Cincinnati Public Schools dropping from the second-best rating of "Effective" under the current system to a D-, with 23 schools flunking and Walnut Hills High School retaining its top mark with an A. The Ohio House passed a bill banning Internet sweepstakes cafes, but it's unsure whether the Ohio Senate will follow suit. State officials say the cafes are ripe for criminal activity. More Ohioans are seeking help for gambling problems. A bill seeking to curb duplicate lawsuits over on-the-job asbestos exposure has cleared the Ohio Senate. Proponents say the bill stops double-dipping from victims, but opponents say it will make legitimate claims all the more difficult. The Ohio Supreme Court declared the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) to be in contempt for not following a court order requiring the state agency to compensate 87 landowners in Mercer County for flood damage. As a result, ODNR must complete appraisals within 90 days and file all appropriation cases within 120 days. We're all going to die... eventually. Someday, the Milky Way will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy, and scientists want help in finding out more about the galaxy.

City Partnership to Support Small Businesses, Startups
Cincinnati to work with SoMoLend in lending plan
The city of Cincinnati will be pairing up with a web-based lending platform to help out small businesses and startups. With the approval of the Small Business Advisory Committee, the city and SoMoLend will give up to $400,000 in loans to stimulate economic growth and job creation. The partnership will aid small businesses and startups through crowd funding, which connects multiple potential lenders so no single investor, including the city government, is carrying the a bulk of the burden. Since crowd funding gets more investors involved, it can also raise more money for promising startups and small businesses. Businesses will be picked through SoMoLend's typical application process, which emphasizes startups and small businesses. Successful applicants usually have 15 or fewer employees, meet a few standards regarding business and personal finances and prove they actually need a commercial loan. In the past, businesses have raised as much as $1 million in loans with SoMoLend. Applicants will also have to go through the city's application process. The city government will look at how many jobs are created, what's the capital investment involved, how much the city will give relative to private lenders and other similar metrics. Even as the economy recovers, small businesses and startups are having a tough time getting loans in comparison to bigger businesses. So the focus on small businesses and startups is in part to bring beneficial fairness to the system, says Meg Olberding, city spokesperson. "Access to capital at all levels has to happen. And the city government feels like small businesses are key to growth in our local economy." The partnership's focus on startups is economically sound. Governments and politicians love to herald small businesses as the drivers of economic growth, but studies suggest startups are more deserving of the praise. A paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that young small businesses, or startups, are the key drivers to economic and job growth. As for why SoMoLend was picked over other platforms, Olberding says location and history played a role: "It's a local small business, so it's … demonstrating what we're talking about. It's also a demonstrated success in terms of bringing viable businesses to the market." The partnership is part of an ongoing effort to spur small businesses and startups in Cincinnati. SBAC was created in 2012 to pave a clearer, better path that encourages such businesses in the city. SBAC reviewed, gave feedback and approved the new partnership earlier today.Councilwoman Yvette Simpson, head of SBAC, praised the partnership in a statement: "I am excited that the SBAC approved the city's new partnership with SoMoLend today. By making city lending more efficient and expanding the network of small businesses receiving city assistance, this new partnership fits well into the SBAC's goal of making Cincinnati a better place for small business."

Residents are working hard to make sure needy members of the community have food on their tables on Thanksgiving. The Leon High Student Government Association has been collecting food for the needy at thanksgiving for more than 20 years. Students say this year may be their most successful one yet.
It's a busy time of year for members of the Leon High Student Government Association. They're planning the Thanksgiving dinners for thousands of other people besides themselves.
For more than 20 years, Leon High has worked hand-in-hand with the Second Harvest Food Bank to put food on the tables of needy families throughout a 14-county area.
"But a lot of the food you see will be going to Leon County families that are in need of food over Thanksgiving," says Andy Windsor.
Food bank volunteers say every year they try to get about a pound-and-a-half of food for each family they serve. This Thanksgiving they are especially in need of canned meat and vegetables. As soon as the food is brought in, most of it goes right back out the door to those in need. Volunteers say it's a lot of work, but the end result is definitely worth it.
The Second Harvest Food Bank serves more than 330 agencies. They say there's no way to tell exactly how many families they'll be helping, but it's definitely in the thousands.
You can drop food off at Second Harvest's warehouse. Call them at 562-3033 for more information.

Dewitt Township is one step closer to replacing roughly 23 acres of farmland with a 91,000 square-foot shopping center.
The center would be anchored by Kroger and include a gas station, two banks, and retail shopping space. It would be located on the northeast corner of Airport and Clark roads.
While many people in the area welcome the proposed center, some worry it'll cause traffic problems.
The Dewitt Township Board of Trustees has to approve a special use permit before the project goes further. A meeting is scheduled for August 22 at 7 p.m.
The Dewitt Planning Commission has unanimously approved the project.

Click here for our Affiliate Agreement
Click here for a our PEG Application
Click here to contact FSTV for questions, changes to scheduled programming, or the contact liaison
1. What are Free Speech TV Affiliate Stations?
Since 1995, Free Speech TV has made its unique programming available for part-time carriage, at no cost, to public, educational, and government access (PEG) cable stations, college television stations, and to public television stations. Stations carrying our programming are known as "Free Speech TV Affiliates." There are currently more than 200 Free Speech TV Affiliates across the U.S. For a complete list of affiliate stations, visit http://freespeech.org/affiliates.
2. What kind of programming does Free Speech TV offer?
Free Speech TV's programming covers a broad range of social, economic and environmental justice issues. It features voices from communities traditionally under-represented by the corporate media, such as people of color, the working poor, immigrants, youth, the other-abled, and queer people. Programs shine a national spotlight on the campaigns of organizations working for social change.
Current running programs include: Democracy Now!, Al Jazeera English, The Thom Hartmann Program, GAY USA, David Pakman, and Laura Flanders. We also air independently produced documentaries, keynotes by progressive leaders, live coverage of national movements, major elections, and conferences such as Netroots Nation and Take Back the American Dream.
3. What are the ways my station can rebroadcast Free Speech TV?
There are several ways to rebroadcast Free Speech TV that fall into two categories. We refer to them as the "Linear" feed and the "VOD" (Videos on Demand) feed. You can access our linear feed (1) If you own your own satellite, we can provide our broadcast coordinates. (2) If you don't own your own satellite, you can contract with DISH satellite to install one that picks up our feed. This requires an installation and annual fees that your station will be responsible for. (3) You can also now air FSTV with the purchase of a Roku box. The Roku box receives streaming content to your station and the content can be moved via RCA or HDMI output. This gives your station access to our high-quality linear stream. The other category is the VOD feed. This grants you the ability to use Roku or our website to grab videos on demand that are regularly updated. By streaming us via Roku, you are granted access to both our linear feed and our VOD feed, but how you use them is up to you.
4. What are the terms for carrying Free Speech TV programs?
The terms for carrying Free Speech TV programs are detailed in an "Affiliate Retransmission Agreement" that provides stations with the right to retransmit Free Speech TV. Both your station and Free Speech TV must sign a copy of this agreement before the Affiliate can begin airing our programs. We ask Affiliates to air a minimum of eight hours of programming every month. Each station chooses which programs to air, at the their discretion. Many stations have built dedicated audiences by choosing to run Free Speech TV content in consistent daily and/or weekly time slots. Affiliates may re-transmit any program broadcast by Free Speech TV. Most programs must be re-transmitted live from the feed. However, to accommodate the unique guidelines of many PEG stations, Free Speech TV airs weekly "Access Fridays - Special Programs" containing ten hours of programs that can be recorded by the station for broadcast within a four-week window. If you're rebroadcasting us via Roku, many of our shows and documentaries will appear in the "Videos on Demand" section. You may reair any content in the V.O.D. section so long as it is still listed there.
5. How much will it cost my station to carry Free Speech TV programs?
Free Speech TV provides all of our programming to affiliate stations for free. The costs entirely depend on how you're receiving our signal. If you're receiving our feed from Roku, it's a one time purchase of a receiver box, which can range from $40-$100, depending on the model. If you don't own a satellite and wish to enter an agreement with DISH Network, a one-year subscription generally costs around $468. An HD receiver is required by DISH Network. Installation fees are generally around $120. DISH Network subscriptions, equipment and installation are the responsibility of the individual station and should be ordered from your local DISH Network.
6. How can my station or a viewer find out what Free Speech TV is airing?
Free Speech TV posts its weekly program schedules approximately three weeks in advance at www.freespeech.org/tv-schedule. This broadcast schedule is searchable by date and by individual program titles. The schedule includes a program MPAA rating, genre, and brief synopsis for every program. Many programs can even be previewed in a web friendly format. Schedules are subject to change. Occasionally, we will send out notifications to station liaisons via an affiliate listserv regarding special programs or live events.
7. Can Free Speech TV promote my station?
FSTV lists all affiliate stations, which can be found here: www.freespeech.org/affiliates. This includes regular local airtimes and links to your stations website. In this way, viewers can find out when Free Speech TV programs air in their community. If the station is re-transmitting Free Speech TV programs live, viewers can then search our Free Speech TV's on-line schedule to find out what we will be airing during regularly scheduled cablecasts at that time.
8. How can my station begin carrying Free Speech TV programs?
You should start by contacting Free Speech TV's Operations Director, Nathanael Reeder (303-442-8445 x102 or email@example.com) and he will guide you through the relatively simple process, which includes the following steps:
a. You must return a signed Free Speech TV Affiliate Agreement to Free Speech TV. You can fax it to 303-442-6472, send the contract to us by mail at Free Speech TV PO Box 44099 Denver, CO 80201, or email it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
b. Once Free Speech TV receives your signed Affiliate Agreement, you will be contacted by the PEG Affiliate Coordinator, who will confirm receipt and answer any questions you may have.
c. It is your station's responsibility to order and necessary equipment or subscriptions and to have your equipment professionally installed. Once installed, the receiver easily integrates into a broadcast facility using a simple audio/video switch. Your broadcast operator can then switch from your primary signal to retransmit Free Speech TV "live" off the DISH Network or Roku receiver.
d. Once you have begun transmitting Free Speech TV for seven days, please inform us that the service is functional. You can then begin broadcasting programs from Free Speech TV's feed, per the terms of the Affiliate Agreement. Enjoy!

511 and 290 pounds. Looking for a mtn bike type of bike to
1) put slicks on to ride with young son on pavement
2) ride local mtn bike trail. It is rated easy by some local mtn bike association. As a beginner, it is rough to me. The trail does not really have any jumps or anything like that. It is just really bumpy due to erosion, rocks, roots, etc.
I prefer a fork that has lockout as I prefer to lockout the front fork when riding on pavement. I do NOT want an overly aggressive riding position since I will use the bike to ride with my young son who rides very slow.
I have chosen the Hardrock Sport as a starting point. I am not familiar enough with Jamis to know which of their bikes would compare to the HardRock.
Which bikes are comparable to the HardRock as to 1) price range and 2) level of bike?
Local stores carry Giant, Jamis, Fuji, and Cannondale.

Topanga Canyon News
TOPANGA CANYON—The 40th annual Topanga Days Country Fair took place this past Memorial Day weekend, bringing out many residents to celebrate the yearly event. The fair which spanned the entire three-day weekend attracted over 2,000 attendees each day.
The festival took place on 12 acres of land in Topanga Canyon which overlooks San Fernando Valley. Many attendees described the event as a laidback festival full of "peace and love." Actress and fellow Topanga Canyon resident, Cloris Leachman, came out for the event's parade on Memorial Day.
The three-day fair included food, games, contemporary dance, and many other activities with all ages in attendance. Some activities in the festival were potato sack races and pie eating contests. In addition to activities for attendees, there were also live bands performing throughout the weekend, ranging in a variety of genres including Rock, Country, Folk, and Irish.
The Topanga Community Club was founded in 1949 and was originally known as the Topanga Woman's Club. Its sole purpose was to serve as a community center for people of all ages to be able to have a place they could go and enjoy whatever hobbies they had. After a 12-acre lot was given to the Community Club in 1950, owners built the shell of what is now the Community House.
In the 1960s, the Strawberry Festival began at the Community House and this eventually evolved into what is now the Topanga Days Country Fair, a fundraiser that has been held every year for the past 40 years and attracts many Topanga Canyon Residents.

Anyone remember the old days riding a 10 speed for thousands of miles no flats, no broken chains no broken anything. Are the bikes and hardware getting cheaper or are there more worry warts out there now. Between my 2 - 10 speeds I went through and a few Stingrays which I think I pioneered Mountain Biking with in the 70's I never even had a flat. I used to swap out tires for different riding conditions and seasons. Chopped a few bikes. Stripped my bikes down to frame and painted them. Made a few single speed wheelie machines!! Brakeless of course. Riding in water, mud, crashes, this, that, no problems at all. Are the new road bike that fragile? I have a Trek 7100 Hybrid that I have been riding for a few years now and it's a tough bike. Do I need to worry about the fragility of the new road bike I am getting???

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. and Yemeni officials say the supposed would-be bomber at the heart of an al-Qaida airliner plot was actually an informant working for the CIA.
The revelation, first reported by The Los Angeles Times, shows how the CIA was able to get its hands on a sophisticated underwear bomb well before an attack was set in motion.
Officials say the informant was working for the CIA and Saudi Arabian intelligence when he was given the bomb. He then turned the device over to authorities. Officials say the informant is safely out of Yemen.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive intelligence matter.
Associated Press writer Ahmed Al-Haj contributed to this report from Sanaa, Yemen.

I have looked at more showers in the last year than I ever have wanted to. We remodeled my upstairs bathroom and added a new shower last summer. We also added a new tub and had to tear down all the tile that was there before (good times, let me tell you). This summer we added a new bathroom to the basement downstairs. I don't miss living in a construction zone. However, it is very nice to have two full bathrooms now. However, both of my bathrooms spaces are small, so I could not go all out like I wanted to.
In the basement, we had very little space to work with due to the configuration of my basement. We ended up putting up a shower enclosure (However, I had no idea that you could get a shower enclosures online. If I would have known that, I would not have let my husband pick it out. Somebody had to stay home with the kids, so I let him pick it out by himself. He did do a good job, but I probably would have picked something different.) However, if you only have a small space and want to add a full bath, I definitely recommend shower enclosures. They offer a lot more room than they look, and it is nice having two showers when you are trying to get ready for parties and such.
Eventually, when we add on to upstairs, I am going to check out the shower store and look into getting discount steam shower. We are going to add in a hot tub up there, so we need the shower to be seperate. What would be better than a steam shower? They look awesome and extremely relaxing. If you are lacking on space, they even offer steam showers with minitubs attached!
I personally can't wait to remodel again, so we can spruce up our house. Even the economy is in the tank, houses still are a good value. Even though houses prices have dropped for the time being, they will bounce back. Remodeling also makes it more enjoyable for you to stay in the house you are in. By building out our basement, we can definitely stay in this house a lot longer (my upstairs only has 980 square feet, so we were a little cramped up here).
What does your bathroom look like? What kind of upgrades would you like to make?

Re: What did boxing look like when you first got into it? (nostalgia thread)
My first boxing memory was a news report: Reporting on Chris Eubank beating Nigel Benn.
I can also remember the build up to Frank Bruno vs Lennox Lewis, my mum was not allowing me to watch it..? Because i was a aggressive child in school, and also aggressive towards my older brother...
I can remember getting excited, by the Frank Bruno vs Lennox Lewis advert! where they where stepping out of the smoke etc...
On the night of the fight, i can remember going mental in the sweet shop. Just kind of running around, and throwing punches! and asking my mum whether i can watch the fight.
I was also banned from watching Rocky 4, around about this time aswell.
So taking all of this into account.
Chris Eubank's fights where the fights i can vividly remember watching.

Greenplum, a software firm developing database clustering software used for the data warehousing business, has been acquired by EMC. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The acquisition is the end of a long road for Greenplum--originally based in Sherman Oaks--and its investors, which includes San Diego's Mission Ventures. The firm, which first appeared in Los Angeles in 2001 as Metapa, was backed by such firms as Dawntreader, EDF Ventures, Hudson Ventures, Meritech Capital Partners, Mission Ventures, SAP Ventures, Sierra Ventures, and Sun Microsystems. The firm appears to have gone through at least one recapitalization, and multiple executive team changes, and moved to Silicon Valley in the meantime. Leo Spiegal of Mission Ventures was on its board, and Scott Yara--who was an executive along with Spiegel at Digital Island/Sandpiper Networks--was President and Co-Founder of the firm.

Impulse Technology, a company that develops interactive exercise equipment, has decided it would be in its best interest to drop a patent infringement lawsuit it filed against Nintendo. In its lawsuit, Impulse Technology alleged that Nintendo's Wii console, Wii Remote controller, Wii Balance Board accessory and Wii Fit Plus software infringed on one of Impulse's patents (U.S. Patent No. 5,524,637). Nintendo claims that they dumped the lawsuit after an unfavorable ruling by Judge James Gwin of the U.S. District Court in Cleveland that undermined the core argument of Impulse's case.
"We are very pleased with the court's ruling, which forced Impulse to walk away from this lawsuit," said Richard Medway, Nintendo of America's deputy general counsel in a statement issued on Monday. "Nintendo vigorously defends patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party's patent. We will continue our tradition of developing unique and innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others."

The Bachelor
Hot Mess of the Week: Juan Pablo Has a Stinkin' Good Time in New Zealand
This week on The Bachelor, Juan Pablo Galavis morphed into a sheepdog and herded his group of bachelorettes into a field filled with traumatized baby lambs. It was a moment so beautiful, so profound, that it had to be relegated to the rolling credits at the end of the episode, but also a moment that cemented Juan Pablo's second week as a Hot Mess.
You see, not only did Juan Pablo and his flock skip gleefully throughout the hills of New Zealand while dripping wet and wearing bikinis, Juan Pablo decided to throw poo at everyone. We repeat: Juan Pablo picked up sheep fecal matter in his bare hands and started hurling it at his semi-nude sister-wives. As in, he was LITERALLY throwing excrement at them while they giggled in ecstasy.
We'll give you a moment to process this information and pour yourself another jug of Envolve. We're not sure anyone — not even the most educated psychologist — will ever understand the subtle nuances of this precious poo-filled moment on The Bachelor, but Chris Harrison's face while Juan Pablo was recounting his epic poo journey pretty much sums up our feelings. Shock, horror, disbelief, and vacant grinning in the face of pure terror.
We're judging you, Juan Pablo. But we're also judging ourselves for continuing to be in love with you despite the fact that you uttered the following sentence on camera: "Whoever steps in the most poops wins!"
It's moments like these that we question The Bachelor, but then we realize that said questioning is completely ridiculous because this show is perfect and flawless in every way. If Juan Pablo wants to make proverbial love in a field of feces, let him. LEAVE BRITNEY JUAN PABLO ALONE, everyone!
Now excuse us while we book an appointment with our therapist — a.k.a. a blow-up replica of Chris Harrison.
Who do you think deserves the Hot Mess of the Week award? Tell us in the comments!

Yeah, that's fine. But the point is "Who the hell is Adele" comes off like she's some obscure nobody that a typical person wouldn't have heard of. She's been in the news for being a pop start who doesn't use autotune and wear weird clothes. She's been in the news because Karl Lagerfeld called her fat. She's been in the news because she's had several big hits and won a bunch of awards.
"I just don't listen to the sort of artists who win Grammys", no offense, comes off as "I don't even own a TV" hipster douchebaggery.

I have a two and a half year old DS.
DS has slept through the night from 9 months old. He has always slept well and had the routine of dinner/bed/bath and then we turned off the light and he went to sleep. Around November we took the side of his cot off to create a toddler bed and around January we moved him to a new room in a single bed (proper wooden frame and mattress). He slept well in the toddler bed and well in the single bed. Initally he climbed out of the single bed but after a few nights of being consistent and putting him back, he fell asleep and didn't get out.
About 2 months ago DS started waking up through the night saying he is scared. We gave him a touch nightlight and if necessary comforted him back to sleep. He started coming into our room and sleeping on kids couch with a pull out mattress. It looked uncomfortable so we put his cot mattress on the floor. If he came in, lay down and slept, wouldn't mind but he is waking up around 5 - 6 times a night talking, asking for water, saying random things like "it's dark in here", crying, etc. DH who is usually super gentle, calm and kind is at his wits end and exhausted. I am pregnant with twins and up a lot due to toilet visits and a runny nose and beyond exhausted. I am really battling to cope during the day.
Other info
- I'm a SAHM and we go out a lot in the day (playdates/park/library/playcentre) and do craft/puzzles, etc at home BUT DS has been watching a lot of TV (around 2 hours a day). Do you think this could be affecting his sleep?
- DS has a muslin blanky that he 'chews' to sleep but also asks for in the day. Would it be good to use it only for sleep time?
- DS dropped his day sleep around two months ago. He will fall asleep on the way home if we're out at lunch time but otherwise won't sleep. The problem is at 4pm or so he will then fall asleep (on the floor/couch, etc) if I leave him for 5 minutes or in the car if we go out. I have been driving him to sleep as I think he still needs a day sleep. Do you think I should not drive him to sleep? I.e if he falls asleep while out, transfer him to his bed but don't go for a drive if we're home?
What would you do in this situation. I've phoned today to see the local childhood nurse but they can only see us in two and a half weeks. Thanks so much.
At this stage I'm leaning towards removing the mattress from our room, going in when he calls, settling him and walking out (even if it takes ages) or putting his cot in his room and telling him if he calls out/gets out of bed, etc he goes in the cot (don't like threatening, etc but feeling desperate). Not sure what to do if he calls out? Do you ignore and wait for him to go back to sleep or go in and settle every time.

Azealia Banks has kickstarted 2013 by dropping the perky "BBD" (which stands for "Bad Bitches Do It:), a bonus track to accompany her hotly anticipated February-release Broke With Expensive Taste. Over a slinky bopping beat cooked up by Apple Juice and Sup Dooble, Banks spits about how's she's "stuntin' in stilettos" while lyrically batting her "pretty eyes with long extensions." For good measure, she also throws in references to New Jack Swing icons Bell Biv Devoe. (Helpfully, she's posted up the track's lyrics on her Tumblr.) According to the Harlemite rapperstress's Twitter feed, her next offering will be the double whammy of "Miss Amor" and "Miss Camaraderie," which are slated to be the first official releases from Broke.

Ah..I see the analogy. Girls are like fighting games. At first you spend a lot of time and effort into conquering them and mastering their moves, but once you totally win you're on to the next fighting game. But the good ones will still hold a place in your heart and once in a while you'll pick it back up and play with it again when you're bored............just saying.
Isn't there more than one copy of Street Fighter in the world?
You should replace "was" with "is" in the statement "Third Strike was badass".

Is your freezer always overpacked and crowded with old stuff that you planed to use, but you never did? Does stuff aways fall out of it when you open the door? Does it always make you so frustrated?
Yesterday, I went to get something out of the frige freezer, and when i did, along came stuff tumbling out and onto the floor!!! I got so fed up with having to go through that, that I decided to rummage through the stuff to see what I don't or probably will never use, and just started the process of throwing stuff away!!
It began to have some room, but it still wasn't enough!! So I took all of the wing tips out and made some stock with them. That did the trick!!!
I now have some room to chill glasses and to make ice!! Feels so good not having stuff fall out of there and having to duck-tape the door to keep stuff in!!! Now someday soon, I'll do the same thing with the deep frezzer!! The next time that it needs defrosting.

Improved share buttons.
Everyone loves to be able to share their favourite content to their networks with the click of a mouse. We've always offered the ability to tweet blog posts, jobs, and events and share them on Facebook. But we've made a few subtle improvements with more to come.
First, we now use the official Twitter button for tweeting content. This erases some of the malfunction issues that were occurring in the past. We have also swapped out the Facebook share button for the official Like button. It's a simpler and more widely used way to share content on Facebook. Finally, we've added a button for sharing content on LinkedIn, which has become a popular place for readers to filter relevant news.
We're sure you'll appreciate these improvements, but there's still work to be done. We're implementing the new Google+ button soon, so look out for that. Also, with the growth of tablet and smartphone usage, mobile browsers of Techvibes have complained that because of the location of these buttons, they don't show up on iPads and other mobile devices. Soon, these buttons will be inside the post, giving everyone universal access to one-button sharing. And don't forget that we now have a mobile app, free to download on all smartphone platforms. It has all our great content in real-time, plus our famous job board, events calendar, and company directory.
Techvibes believes in not just aggregating and reporting on valuable Canadian technology news, but in adding its own unique elements of value. One of the ways we've decided to do this is through infographics. Words are powerful but we believe an infographic can make impacting statements and highlight the key statistics and concepts behind a research paper or a trend in ways that words can't. It's also something that is easily shareable among friends and colleagues and allows a reader to digest information almost instantly.
We ran three infographics in June as a test run. These were very well received and we had many readers asking for more. So of course we're going to deliver. Look out as we plan to publish amazing new infographics weekly on mobile data, social media trends, and everything else Canadian and tech related.
Curated Content.
Our unique Curated Content concept has been around for months now, but we're proud of how it's progressed. We continually add new partners to the mix and are always looking for up-and-coming or underground writers and bloggers and businesses to share their content on our site. Tweet us or email us if you're interested in learning more about this opportunity.
The future.
We're excited about the changes we've made to Techvibes.com, but this is only the beginning. There are still plenty more improvements in the pipeline and we can't wait to roll them out.
Please let us know how you think we're doing—we always welcome feedback from our readers.

NOT JOSHING | NSW Blues have confirmed the omission of Josh Dugan from the Game One squad after he s...
9 hours ago
Stacey Jones is finally hanging up his international rugby league boots, but it may not be a permanent retirement.
Jones, who came out of international retirement to help the Kiwis through an injury crisis in the halves, announced after their 42-26 win that commitments to new French Super League club Les Catalans and the scheduled arrival of his and wife Rachelle's first son meant he would no longer be available.
Jones says that is it for him, as far as this year's Tri Series is concerned.
He says right from the start it was a matter of coming to help the boys and with Lance Hohaia being injured he was asked to play one more, but he has to leave it at that now and wish the boys all the best.
Jones' wife is expecting a baby around the time of the Tri Series Grand Final and that has played a major part in his decision not to play any more part in the tournament.
"I want to quash any rumours right now," Jones said. "My wife is due on November 24 so I've got to get back for that."
Jones, scheduled to return home to Auckland on November 20, will spend time in Perpignan, where Les Catalans are based, preparing for next season and helping to promote the club in France. However he will not rule out playing for the Kiwis again next year.

NASA's Juno spacecraft is shown in orbit above Jupiter's colorful clouds in this artist's rendering. Launching from Earth in 2011, the Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter in 2016 to study the giant planet from an elliptical, polar orbit. Juno will repeatedly dive between the planet and its intense belts of charged particle radiation, coming only 5,000 kilometers (about 3,000 miles) from the cloud tops at closest approach. Juno's primary goal is to improve our understanding of Jupiter's formation and evolution. The spacecraft will spend a year investigating the planet's origins, interior structure, deep atmosphere and magnetosphere. Juno's study of Jupiter will help us to understand the history of our own solar system and provide new insight into how planetary systems form and develop in our galaxy and beyond.

Vendor Information
It's great to have you with us as an exhibitor at the East Idaho Kid's Fair set for May 6 & 7, 2016. We hope it just may be the best marketing dollars you'll spend this year, because among marketing options, trade shows are consistently ranked as the number one return on investment for small to medium sized businesses. There's all the information you should need to exhibit at the show below, but feel free to call us anytime at 208.360.2800 with questions.
General Booth Questions
Booth amenities: You can supply your own booth items, but SIGNATURE PARTY & EVENT is an excellent supplier. They supply everything except for hard-wire internet connections. Many commonly ordered items include draped tables, chairs, carpet and linens. Your contact is Anna at 208.529.0843 or at email@example.com.
Booth rules:
- Your booth space is simply the 10′ x 10′ space with pipe and drape around (8′ high back and 3′ high sides). Each booth will have an 8' draped table and 2 chairs. You may bring your own booth supplies such as additional tables and chairs or they can be rented from Signature Party & Events at 208.529.0843. Electrical is through Elite Idaho Events and usually goes for $25. Only booths that have the power selected on their contract will be provided power.
- Everything must be inside the booth. Nothing in the isles, including rugs. This is a fire marshal rule.
- There is not really a maximum height requirement, but booths will be inspected by the marshal and must be deemed safe (no tipping hazards, etc).
- Canopies are okay.
- Side walls may not extend more than half way to the front of the booth unless prearranged. This is to keep visibility open to everyone's booth as people walk down the isles.
- The provided drape rods will support normal banners but in general are not to be used as booth support. Do not pierce or tape anything to the drapes in your booth. Use pins, bungee cords or shower curtain rings to hand banners.
- Open flames are not permitted inside the expo hall. Space heaters are not permitted on the expo floor. This is a fire marshal rule.
- Exhibit displays must be set by 11 a.m. – Elite Idaho Events has the right to fill the booth at this time.
- Exhibitors are responsible for supervising employees and temporary staff (models, mascots, hostesses, etc.) to ensure adherence to these rules:
- All booth activities must take place within the confines of the assigned booth space.
- Booth activities deemed too disruptive may be discontinued at Show Management's discretion.
- Animals are not permitted without prior approval from Show Management.
- Set up day: Thursday, May 5, 2016, anytime between 2 and 8 p.m. We strongly encourage all to finish set-up on that day, as the main entrance area won't be available on Friday. Check in at the desk near the entrance for exhibitor badges, etc. No vehicles are permitted inside the building for this show. Exhibitors are responsible for equipment needed to load and unload items.
- Take down: Any time between 5 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 7, 2016. No early take downs please – exhibitor will be fined $50 for early take down. All material must be removed that evening from the expo hall.
Exhibitor Parking
On set-up day you may use parking lot in the front of the expo hall. Do not block traffic. Traffic must flow in a free circle around the lot. DO NOT park vehicles in the lot by Broadway. All exhibitor vehicles need to be parked in the rear of the building to allow parking for attendees.
On show days the front entrance is NOT available for vendors, but you may park in the rear of the expo hall or to the west parking area next to the expo hall. Parking is never allowed in a red zone or posted no parking zones. Trailers are okay to park overnight in these lots as well.
Temporary Food Handler Permit Questions
If you're giving away food or food samples of any kind, you may need to go to the Eastern Idaho Public Health District and get a temporary food handlers permit (1250 Hollipark Drive, Idaho Falls, ID or (208) 523-5382 for information). Shelf stable pre-packaged food (pop, candy, chips, etc.) do not need anything, but if you're not sure, please call the Health Department number. Temporary Food Handler permits are different than the Food Handler permit you may have for your regular on-site business. They must be obtained at least two weeks prior to the event.
Tickets and Passes
All vendors will be supplied a minimum of 10 show tickets (amount varies according to booth size and sponsorship). These tickets will be done digitally through email. Additional tickets may be purchased for $1 a piece if you desire to obtain more. Admission will be $2 at the door (children 12 & under admitted free). Each vendor will need to let Elite Idaho Events know how many Lanyards your booth will need.
Giveaways and Door Prizes
We welcome giveaways from all exhibitors wishing to do so. The first 250 people in the doors on Friday and again on Saturday will receive a door prize. If you'd like have your giveaway as part of the door prizes, please e-mail us and we'll put it on our list.
Expo Marketing
Expo marketing includes a media-wide campaign again this year. Marketing includes television, newspapers, billboards (Pancheri in Idaho Falls & I-15 in Pocatello), printed posters, e-mail newsletters, and of course the power of Riverbend Communications' five radio stations and their websites reaching over 124,000 people weekly. The stations are Classy 97, Z103, The Hawk, KBear and Newstalk. Over 5,000 tickets will be distributed FREE of charge for the show through vendors and radio giveaways.
Both Ideas, Printing, and Promotional Items
If you'd like help with some booth ideas, printing, banners or promotional items, we suggest you contact Snake River Printing at (208) 656-7272 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Booth space is available by contacting Elite Idaho Events at 208.360.2800. Booths are 10′ x 10′ and generally run $350. Elite Idaho Events excels at connecting businesses with thousands that call east Idaho home.

Successful Show Tips
Many of you are exhibiting veterans and a few are first-timers, but it never hurts to get some time-proven advice about some things to do (and not do) to get the most of your show time.
- Long before the show, plan a cool booth space. Invest in your booth. What would make it approachable? What would make you stop? This planning and/or investment always pays off later. Many successful strategies include giveaways that collect e-mails, games, contests, videos, graphics, video games, novelty or humor and other many other ideas. Be creative and have fun.
- Talk to those working your booth. They make a huge difference. The basics have to do with positioning and attitude. Don't sit down in the back of your booth. Comfy, but ineffective. Do have an open booth that's easy to enter or engage. Don't be on the phone or working. People think it's rude to approach you as you're busy. And most importantly, smile. Seems obvious, but so does common sense. People talk with happy people.
- If you're not personally good at meeting people, hire someone. Don't take it personally. Happy, attractive people don't hurt. You get 3 seconds for a first expo impression.
- Amazingly, nearly 60% of regional show exhibitors do not have a pre-show lead plan in place as an expo opens (Center for Exhibitor Industry Research). Know the basics of potential client conversations and lead collection: 1) Engage and chat (10-30 seconds), 2) Qualify (1 minute) to see if they have a need for your services, and 3) Present what you have for them (1-5 minutes). Make sure to focus on what's in it for them. Then 4) Close by getting a business card or other contact information, and tell them you'll get them more info later. It's casual and flexible. Then keep a master list! Then move on to the next lead!
- In another amazing statistic, out of all exhibitors, nearly 75% of all leads collected at Expos are not followed up on after the show (Center for Exhibitor Industry Research). Yes, your feet are tired, but the works not quite done. Take some time afterwards to follow up and help all the people you may have talked to during the show.
- Some other helpful ideas may be to have an album of testimonials showing success stories and pictures. This is especially great for independent professionals selling an intangible product. Pictures of workshop attendees are good. Everyone likes pictures.
- I've heard some that are anti- candy bowl , but most experts still say it's good. If you want to up the ante, have a bigger treat but only for those who chat with you that you can just hand them. Energy bars, bigger mints, or something else fun.
- Promotional items are good. Think about whether they're using it for a while or if it will just go to their kids. Kids are tough clients.
- If possible, demonstrate your product . People like to see it in action.
- Dare to think up something a bit different. It makes trade shows fun. Things people have asked us if they can do in the past that have gone well include shooting money from a cannon, casinos, celebrity guests, flash mobs, sports contests, and many other slightly quirky things. Many visitors have been to a trade show before and they like to see diversity. Please ask us if you have any ideas you'd like to try. Between us and our event crew, we'd love to try to accommodate your ideas if possible.
In summation, research shows that trade shows are the #1 advertising ROI businesses can make. So make a plan. We'd love to help you reach all your goals and be an important partner to your business each year. Have a great show!
Trade shows are consistently the #1 marketing return on investment among all options.
Below are some videos from around the country with additional tips!

Notable CDs
Music | Six new or recent CD releases
Born to Sing: No Plan B
By Van Morrison
This album sounds like most of the others Morrison has released in the last 30 years—lots of emoting about opening one's heart and achieving peace of mind while jazzy blues or bluesy jazz plays in the background. Pleasant, even soulful, but hardly newsworthy. Even the bluesy blues "Pagan Heart" has clear Morrison antecedents. What's different are "Educating Archie," which blames global capitalism, the media, and constitutional indifference for endangering the individualism of the "working-class white," and "If in Money We Trust," which repeatedly asks "Where's God?
By Mumford & Sons
The Byrds had Roger McGuinn's Rickenbacker. Mumford & Sons have Winston Marshall's banjo. And, the possession of a signature sound aside, there's little in common between the folk-rock of yore and the folk-rock of today. The Byrds didn't seem to be repeatedly writing the same song, for instance, or inflate their music with martial rhythms and over-earnest singing. They did, however, popularize "Jesus Is Just Alright," a sentiment with which Mumford & Sons apparently concur. As for this album's F-bomb song, it's empathy for the devil.
By Serengeti
Sufjan Stevens fans impressed by their hero's recent collaboration with this Chicago rapper on the EP Beak & Claw will understandably be interested in what Serengeti has to say on his own. Alas, how he says it is more interesting: His articulate enunciation, imaginative rhymes, and kaleidoscopic soundscapes set him apart from the hip-hop competition. It really is too bad, therefore, that only on the opening and closing cuts ("Greyhound" and "Uncle Traum," respectively) does he forgo profanity, especially since he's plenty funny, observant, and insightful without it.
Lost in Transition
By Sixpence None the Richer
Her solo soul-baring behind her, Leigh Nash sounds as if she's relishing sharing the spotlight with a band again: Her singing is as pretty and carefree as ever, no matter how convincingly she sings "Time's not my friend anymore" in "Failure." Meanwhile, although "Radio" may be the only track hooky and universal enough to hold its own beside the songs that made Sixpence two-hit wonders last century, the tunefulness and introspective acuity of the others, "Failure" included, suggest that time is still friendlier than Nash thinks.
Paul Carrack is currently celebrating his 40th anniversary as one of the world's most diversified and gifted blue-eyed soul singers, and he's celebrating it in style. First, there's Collected (Universal), a three-disc compilation containing not only the hits he sang with Ace ("How Long"), Mike + the Mechanics ("The Living Years," "Silent Running"), Squeeze ("Tempted"), and under his own name ("Don't Shed a Tear") but also his many often equally noteworthy misses.
Second, there's Good Feeling (Carrack-UK), his follow-up to the album he recorded in 2012 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, A Different Hat. Of Good Feeling's 12 tracks, only one, a lovely rendition of the Thad Jones-Alec Wilder jazz classic "A Child Is Born," could've fit A Different Hat's sumptuous settings. But no matter. The infectiously finger-poppin' R&B tempos that predominate provide Carrack's voice—often self-overdubbed into rich, street-corner vocal-group harmonies—with an equally flattering showcase in which to shine.

Where Care is Provided
Hospice is a philosophy of care that focuses on enhancing quality of life while managing symptoms and controlling pain.
At Community Hospice of Texas, our goal is to provide expert care that enhances your quality of life wherever you call home, whether it is a private residence, an assisted living facility, nursing home or hospital. Many patients respond best when they are cared for in the comfort and familiar surroundings of home. However, there are situations that necessitate hospice care be provided in an inpatient setting or hospice facilities and units.
A transition to inpatient care may be necessary for several reasons, including an increase in pain that requires more acute-level treatment or a change in a family member's ability to continue providing care in their home.
Because we are a mission-driven organization committed to serving the needs of our community, Community Hospice of Texas offers inpatient care at:
• Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital and at our hospice houses
• Community Hospice of Texas Hospice House Downtown in Fort Worth
• Community Hospice of Texas Hospice House at Texas Health Huguley in Burleson
Short-term inpatient care is available. Patients also can be admitted for up to five days to offer respite time for caregivers.
While hospice is a philosophy of care, where the care is provided does matter. For more information about care in your home or ours, call us at 1.800.226.0373.

Fuel your fire.
Instead of snacking on dried deer turds and pine needles, try eating a Clif Bar. It's moist, tasty, and packed full of nutrients like protein, fiber, potassium, and essential carbohydrates, so it'll fight off bonks when you're hiking, climbing, skiing, boating, working, or just about anything else. Maybe you won't get quite the trail cred you would snacking on poop and trees, but the tradeoff is worth it.

Good fast snack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Oatmeal Raisin Walnut, Sierra Trail Mix, Carrot Cake... all very tasty and easy to pack. Generally speaking there are 5 grams of fiber, 10+ grams of protein, 250 calories, and about 5 grams of fat. Given the fact that they taste like a Snickers with a bit of granola that's not too bad for a fast snack.
Chewy Power
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Love the peanut butter flavor. Filling and energy rich, cliff bars are the way to go. day hikes? Yeah. Your only source of food on a dirtbag venture after the money runs out? Definitely
Get some of that Sierra Trail Mix!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Hands down the best flavor is Sierra Trail Mix. It offers just the right balance of chocolate, nuts and seeds. They are great on all day cycle rides, long climbs, or if your just craving something Tasty!!
Eat ALL THE CLIF BARS
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Delicious, nutritious, oh and delicious. Actually Clif bars and I have a bit of a love-hate relationship. Love in that they're completely amazing, hate in that when I order a whole box I have a hard time containing myself from eating several at once. They're great, end of story. Expand your horizons and try all the flavors!
Toffee Buzz!!
I just love Cliff Bars so freaking much. The Toffee Buzz is my favorite flavor. They pack great in a pack for day hikes, long back packing trips, or even just to have for life saving snacks at work. They are perfect while out and about because they don't fill you to the point you need to lay down they just tide you over and give you energy while you concur the mountain.
love these
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use these for everything. When I am out riding my bike or hiking they always go with me. My kids also love them as a snack!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
They taste really good and have a lot of essential proteins and stuff for outdoor adventures. There are a ton of flavors, I have not tried them all yet. Some of these have caffeine which is pretty dope. I think its all organic to.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
nothing but love for clif bars. been following them for a while purchasing different flavors and have never been disappointed . all bars taste great and are extremely easy to pack. makes for an awesome mountain side energy bar or a quick gym snack! best bar on the market
favorite bar- peanut and choc chip.
Could you do something different?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Clif bars are not worthwhile. Ive had them on adventures for the last 10 years of my life, and refuse to buy them any more. They dont taste very good, and every single flavor has the same base, which means they all taste the same. Considering Pro bar is relatively the same price with better ingredients, why would you buy this product? That, and Clif bar, the company that started based on being a food product to climb with just dropped all their climbing athletes. Brilliant!
Never leave home without it!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Whether I'm spending the day on campus, collecting highway feature data for the DOT, or summiting another 12,000 footer in the Uintahs, I wouldn't dream of leaving these behind! They'll do in a pinch for a meal, and they've gotten me through more than one sleepless night of studying.
The flavor variety is wide enough that you can always find one you like, and the 12-pack boxes ensure you won't run low. All in all they're one of the best investments I've made in my travels.
Clif Bars
Packable Nutrition
Always in my vest, jacket pocket, pack, car, kitchen cupboard for a reason. ClifBars are packable nutrition that digest relatively easily and taste great. Haven't met a flavor I didn't like yet, though the iced options are more dessert like than others. If you are burning a ton of calories these are a great way to replenish.
Carrot Cake for the win
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The carrot cake flavor is my go to for a quick on the trail snack. Theyre good flavor, have a fair amount of protein and a ton of carbs to keep you moving.
CLIFBAR x LITTLE COTTONWOOD CANYON
..I food-cheated on the carrot cake flavor with your cliche gas station go-to flavor: chocolate chip.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If I had to live off of 3 things for the rest of my life, it would be: chocolate cake, mashed potatoes, and carrot cake Clifbars. I mean, check out the nutrition in that combination!
But seriously. Anytime I find myself adventuring in nature, I throw one (or three) of these bad boys in my pack. Not only do they give you the nutrients to keep your Kreb's Cycle in check, but they legitimately TASTE GOOD. I can't emphasize how ridiculously delicious the carrot cake ones are. Did I mention how good the carrot cake ones are?
yum yum
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Delicious and full of calories to keep you going on the trail. My snack at work.
Bony Babs, Clif!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Clif bars have been my go to snack for a few years now, opting for a quick dose of granola and organic ingredients rather then a candy bar or a bag of chips. I have tried many many different flavors and have yet to find one that I do not like, and eat them while hiking, biking, snowboarding, working, anytime really.
Great energy & easy to digest
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
these bars are fantastic. they offer sufficient energy/substance, feel heavy enough to satisfy hunger, but digest easily enough to go unnoticed during activity. the chocolate chip is very "sweet" in my opinion, while the peanut butter flavor is perfectly balanced between salty/sweet. consistency is fairly dense, so have plenty of fluids available while eating. took 4 of these on my first century ride and they got me through without any problems.
Delicious nutrition.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I eat these things a lot. Whether it's for a quick breakfast, pre-run, post-run, bedtime snack, these things hit the spot. They aren't super heavy on the stomach, have a reasonable amount of protein and fiber. My favorite flavors are the Sierra Trail Mix, Oatmeal Raisin Walnut, and Blueberry Crisp. Those flavors taste like they aren't trying to taste like desserts, like the Fudge Brownie does. That one's not great. My only gripe is that they're a little high in sugar. That's it.
Tasty Treats
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have tried a bunch and my favorites are blueberry crisp and black cherry almond so far. Toss a few in the pack, jacket pockets, and the glove box and im set for a few months of easy snacking and a nice surprise when i find one I forgot about.
would like to combine a order of these...
would like to combine a order of these bars with an order that I just made?
For help with your order, I'd suggest contacting Customer service- contact info is listed at the top of the page. I'm sure they will be happy to help!
Is this product gluten free?
Is this product gluten free?
Yes, Clif Bars are wheat-free, but not gluten free.
then that would be no, they are not gluten free.
The ingredient list on the upper right appears wheat-gluten free. However; it does contain malt extract (barley?), rolled oats and oat fiber. Possible offenders if Celiac's is your issue! Try Hammmer Nutrition bars for a gluten free treat. They are organic and mostly raw. Supah Tasty!
While CLIF Nectar, Twisted Fruit, Luna Sports Products, CLIF SHOT gels, CLIF SHOT BLOKS, and CLIF SHOT Energy Drinks do not contain any gluten ingredients, they are not produced in a gluten-free zone. All other CLIF Bar products contain gluten as an active ingredient.
No, it is not. However, I've been trying out this new bar, Larabar, which is completely gluten-free and 100% organic. Nothing but fruit, nuts, and trail running for me!
