Battle for the Bear
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Brian Naples in association with SGA has put together a dodge ball tournament for the entertainment of students and to foster interaction between the clubs. The tournament will be held Tuesday the 11th, 6pm, at the Fitness Center. Each club or organization is allowed a team of up to six members, and must have at least two girls on each team. Unaffiliated students may also form teams by the same guidelines. Even the faculty is open to join in and play on or form teams. The prize for the victor is nothing less than a five-pound gummy bear.
At this time, there are seven teams registered for the competition, including Caddo, Choir, Media Arts, Catholic organization, SGA, and others. Interested parties can sign up at Mr. Naples' office. Naples himself is on the Catholic Club's team, and when asked about any contenders he was concerned with, he cited the baseball team and the choir. "The choir seems to have a solid group, and the baseball team has the edge in throwing ability" Naples said.
Again, this is precisely the motive behind the whole competition, "to advance student relations and school cooperation." "When I lived in New York they wouldn't let us play actual dodge ball, only roller ball; all you could do was roll the ball towards one another across the ground, it drove me nuts" Naples said. But in this event, the tournament will follow traditional rules: hit a person and they're out, catch a ball and get back a teammate, quite basic. Once one of the teams loses all their people the game is over, and the winners advance to the next round.
With teams pouring in, it seems the tournament will accomplish exactly what it set out to do; it's rare for this many clubs to be involved in any single event outside of Spring Fling or Fall Frolic. Add in the participation of the faculty to the mix, and the result is a heated event that only comes once in a great many semesters. This is one Battle that no one should miss.

This year's 30th annual Komen Dallas Race for the Cure saw a 15 percent drop in revenue and an 11 percent dip in registration, Komen officials announced Tuesday.
The Oct. 20 event at NorthPark Center generated $2.2 million, far less than the $2.71 million goal organizers set. It also was way off the $2.6 million mark Dallas Komen hit last year.
Registration for the 1K and 5K walk/runs lagged substantially behind last year's 24,491 entries, too. This year, 21,797 people participated in the event, which raises money for local breast-cancer screening, treatment and education.
The race was the first in Dallas since the national charity sparked a public uproar earlier this year when it suspended — then reinstated — grants to Planned Parenthood.
The political fallout caused a drop in donations and registrations across the country for many of the races, which are Komen's signature moneymaker.
"As you well know, it has been a bit of a challenging year," said Andrea Rader, a spokeswoman for Komen's national organization, which is based in Dallas.
"Our concern is that when the funds are not raised, we cannot do the work we do here in Dallas and everywhere else."
Rader said the national organization won't have a final tally on the overall money raised through its 106 races in 2012 until early next year. The numbers definitely are down, she said.
But anecdotally, she added, the results were a "mixed bag."
"Different races have had different performances," Rader said. "Some have exceeded expectations. The ones that were closer to the events of last January were affected the most."
Komen Greater Fort Worth also saw a reversal of fortunes this year.
The Fort Worth race, which was held in April, drew 23 percent fewer registrants — from 13,780 last year to 10,574 this year. And the fundraising fell about 13 percent, from $1.5 million last year to $1.3 million this year.
Komen Dallas officials remained optimistic until the bitter end, saying in October that they were beginning to see a positive shift in the public's attitude.
They had hoped the slow turnaround would have translated into a flurry of last-minute giving.
"Anyone reading this who still wants to make a positive impact on breast health, we urge them to contribute," said Jennifer Legere, executive director of Komen Dallas County. "It's never too late."
Without a late surge, the charity won't be able to match the record-breaking $2 million it awarded in Dallas County this fiscal year, which runs through the end of next March. It has awarded more than $19 million since 1992.
"Most likely there will be a decrease," Legere said. "But we're not going into the new year downtrodden. We're still trying to bring in new dollars."
Rader said the lackluster performance that Komen officials began seeing right after the fallout over Planned Parenthood prompted a renewed sense of urgency.
"When these donations are down, that makes it that much more difficult to do what we've been doing for 30 years. That's been an ongoing discussion all year," she said.
"As we move into 2013, there's a great deal of discussion about where we focus our mission."
She said the organization and its affiliates are ready to press ahead.
"We're just going to have to double down and keep reminding people of the need in our community," Rader said. "It's concerning because we really have to do this work."
Legere agreed.
"We're going to remain focused on what's important," she said, "that Dallas County continues investing on both fronts — in helping people fight breast cancer here and now, and, for the future, in research for a cure."

David Roth, an official of the American Jewish Committee who was a pathblazer in the field of multiethnic and multiracial relations, died Saturday in Chicago.
Roth, 55, died of complications from heart surgery he had undergone two weeks ago.
Born in Jersey City, Roth grew up in the 1960s. During this turbulent time, he decided to devote himself to community service.
After earning a history degree from Washington College in Maryland and completing post-graduate work in labor and human relations at the University of Illinois, he got a job in 1968 with the AJCommittee to work on the newly emerging issue of ethnicity in America.
As director of the organization's Institute for American Pluralism for the past five years, Roth made advances in fostering coalitions among various ethnic groups as well as organizing workshops that promoted understanding and tolerance between different racial and ethnic groups.
David Harris, executive director of the AJCommittee and a close friend of Roth, described him as a remarkable and hardworking person whose presence will be sorely missed.
"He was extremely skillful at constructing dialogue where people could learn to disagree agreeably," Harris said.
Roth personally developed diversity training programs for public school administrators and teachers across the country. He did not see the need to homogenize the country into a melting pot, said Harris, but rather saw value in "ethnic sharing."
Harris added that at a time when the world is paralyzed by reports of ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia, Roth was actively involved in the polar opposite.
Another program Roth focused on – with an international flavor – was "Project Ukraine," which sought to foster democracy and pluralism in the multiethnic country as well as assist its Jewish community. He also laid the groundwork for the creation of a White House ethnic liaison, which was filled during the Ford administration by a Ukrainian American.

FORTUNE -- Laurene Powell Jobs has been busy.
According to Thurday's
New York Post
, the richest woman in Silicon Valley (estimate wealth: $9 billion) purchased a house within the last few days in the vicinity of Sun Valley, Idaho, where an A-list of media moguls -- including Apple (aapl) CEO Tim Cook -- and a B-list of New York Post reporters are gathered for this year's Allen & Co. retreat.
The new house is described as a double A-frame valued between $3 and $4 million.
Meanwhile, the Cult of Mac's Killian Bell reports that major renovations are underway in the Palo Alto, Calif., home she shared with Steve Jobs. According to Bell, the changes may involve replacing the roof and are extensive enough to have forced the family to vacate.
Powell is reported to be continuing work on the yacht Jobs was building before he died, but there's no word on whether she plans to replace the mansion he demolished in Woodside, Calif.

How about an apology to Honduras Mr. Obama, you know, since you're so good at those?

The problem is that there is one thing after another after another. If the press was really doing their job, Obama and his henchmen would be under indictment. But instead we just keep going from one outrageous episode to the next and the press willingly goes along for the ride.ReplyDelete
It is like the Seattle PI on a national scale.
Delusional left wing kooks covering up for the most corrupt administration in our history.

So there is a 2/10ths of a percent decrease in unemployment because retailers are desperate to get some Christmas business and Obama and his incompetent economic advisors think they did it?ReplyDelete
Another example of how delusional they are.
10% unemployment is not something to celebrate.

Someday, I-10 between Tangerine Road and its intersection with I-8 near Casa Grande is going to be 10 lanes, five westbound and five eastbound, with continuous one-way frontage roads in both directions, and an open median for future expansion that could accommodate truck-only lanes or a rail line.
Nine new interchanges – including one at Moore Road in Marana, and another at Tortolita Boulevard just south of the Pinal County line — and several interchange relocations are part of preliminary designs for the 44-mile stretch of highway.
Considerable changes would be undertaken at the I-10 intersection with I-8 to address inadequate spacing with other interchanges, and because the current interchange is inconsistent with design standards. I-10 would be realigned through the community of Picacho, eliminating some curvature, allowing a consistent 75-mph speed limit, lowering elevated roadway and improving visual impacts. The Sunland Gin Road and Pinal Air Park interchanges are among those that might be moved, and improvements to the Red Rock interchange are anticipated.
When might the 10-lane project begin? "It's difficult for us to answer that question," Michael Kies, project consultant with the firm AECOM, told an audience at a public hearing Thursday, Sept. 30 at Estes Elementary School in Marana. "This is the first step of a long process for the I-10 corridor."
"There could be a long gap" after widening to six lanes is complete, and before 10 lanes are undertaken, Kies said. He suggested 10 to 20 years. The planning of improvements takes "years and years."
This work is needed, according to ADOT information, because the road needs more capacity for future growth, including more lanes, more ramps, and more acceleration and deceleration lanes. A parallel frontage road route along I-10 in each direction is needed for emergency traffic and local access. When there are accidents, "traffic can be stuck for several hours at a time," Kies said.
An improved I-10 can "support the objectives of the CANAMEX trade corridor, which includes this important segment of I-10," literature indicates. The CANAMEX corridor presumes greater traffic between Mexico and Canada through the U.S. I-10 is "not only an important east-west freight route," but decision-makers "expect freight movements to increase north and south."
An initial design concept has been identified. A draft environmental assessment has been conducted. "All information is still in draft form," awaiting public comments and concerns, Kies said. "It's not finalized until we've reviewed comments, and considered how to incorporate those into the study."
The draft environmental assessment includes recommendations for four new noise walls, among them a 2,640-foot-long, 20-foot-high wall near Estes Elementary that would be an addition to the recently installed wall at Marana Middle School.
Right now, federal stimulus funds and other dollars are being used to widen two sections of I-10 from four to six lanes. Overall, six "interim" widening projects on the I-10 section are in the Arizona Department of Transportation pipeline. In two projects, 21 miles of the roadway have been widened from four to six lanes. Widening of six miles from the east end of Picacho to Picacho Peak Road is under construction, as is widening of 11 miles from I-8 into Eloy. Two other widenings are in design, and should be completed "within the next several years," Kies said.
"Could you beautify the center medians?" one guest asked.
"To do that would be incredibly expensive, it really would," ADOT Tucson district engineer Todd Emery responded. "We will try to do enhancement projects as we can at interchanges." The nearly-complete Twin Peaks interchange is "a good example" of what can be done. But the placement of decomposed granite, plants and irrigation lines represents "an incredible, incredible cost to maintain, and keep it looking good."
There are no plans for new rest areas along the stretch.
Comment forms were distributed at the public hearing, and comments are welcome through Oct. 14. Communication from the public has been "very, very helpful to us," ADOT spokeswoman Linda Ritter said, and has helped shape decisions.
A draft environmental assessment on improvements to I-10 between Tangerine Road and I-8 is available at www.i10tucsondistrict.com/i8totang2. A copy of the document is available for public review at the Wheeler Taft Abbett Sr., Library, 7800 N. Schisler, Marana.

With the whole Mayan calendar fiasco behind us, I've been thinking. Do you think that a few millennia from now, there will be guys like Professor Jared Diamond sorting through the detritus that was us, and finding concrete walls filled with rows of identical primitive glyphs scratched into them?
"Four short vertical lines with a 5th line slicing them diagonally. What could it be, Professor — some sort of ancient calendar?"
"No, Osama — we found one of their calendars last week. The time-charts from this period were typically decorated with a bare-breasted goddess straddling some kind of odd, two-wheeled chariot. No, these markings seem more … religious in nature. See how evenly they're spaced? This is the work of an artisan — probably some type of scribe. And this proto-English inscription here — 'H-o-l-y-s-h-I-t.' Seems to be a type of prayer wall — probably from the pre-peak oil period.
Of all the historical figures I'd like to visit in a time machine, high on my list is the nimrod who came up with the idea of doing time. In Moses' day, the criminal code contained a total of two penalties: Death (for murder, kidnapping, homosexuality, adultery, dissing your parents, surfing porn, fibbing…), or compensation. In cases of the latter, a thief was indentured to his victim (not the state) to the tune of four-fold. You get pinched for swiping your neighbour's goat — the 15th-century BC equivalent of a lawnmower — and now you owe the original Billy plus four more. Fresh out of goats? No problem. In an agricultural society, there was always room for another sweat-soaked back in the field. The thing is, it worked. The aggrieved party came out of the deal with something besides a tax bill, and even the malefactor was dignified — by looking his victim in the face every day of his penance, and paying it like a man. What the ancient Israeli social contract never envisioned was something like a convicted weed dealer scratching off days on a cell wall, waiting for the next rerun of Dragon's Den to come on.
"You've got to be kidding," said Scotch Bob.
"Nope — it starts today," said officer Smeth. "We have to make sure everybody's safe."
The convict clerk for the First Nations Wellness Group rolled his eyes emphatically and blew a tired sigh at the guard standing in the office doorway. "It's only 30 minutes — then we'll let you out again," said Smeth.
"Safety first," I crowed from my seat in the corner. The half-Scottish, half-Mohawk lifer shot me through with an annoyed stare.
"Which meeeeeans …" he continued, "that by the time you unlock us, the day is over. How am I supposed to get this work done?"
Mr. Smeth shrugged, and said nothing. He didn't have to. The Warden had already decided that the female parole officers, administrative assistants, teachers and nurses should be able to end their working day without 500 sets of convict eyes ogling their departing, denim-painted bottoms. So as of today, all those sex-starved stares would be behind bars from 3:45 to 4:15 p.m. – day's end for the joint's select stock of X chromosomes.
Kaukaughe materialized in the office doorway. "What's up?" asked the longhaired spectre of Ojibwa manliness.
"Oh, you're gonna love this. It's a new count — skinner count," said Scotch Bob.
"We're just getting everybody locked on the tiers so that the female staff can go home," Smeth clarified.
"Apparently some horn-dog was in the courtyard last week, howling love calls at a parole officer. Now they're shutting down the entire joint for a half-hour a day — so that the meat doesn't get bruised on its way out," Scotch Bob said to Kaukaughe.
The oversized aboriginal stood there in a moment of soundless meditation, contemplating the news. "Nap time," he said finally — and then left as he had come … on the vapours.
"At least now you won't miss any of The View," I said.
Scotch Bob looked up at me over his $3 tortoise-shell reading glasses and growled, something about three-kittens-and-a-brick in a burlap sack. Apparently he's not the talk-show type.
Back in 2008, Canada's Correctional Service unwrapped something called the Transformation Agenda — a decidedly buzzword-heavy approach to prison management. Among its frontline verbs was the watchword "accountability" — as in, inmate accountability. No longer would prison be a place to loll around, listening to Led Zeppelin and networking with the nation's underworld. Now the Big House would be a place of reckoning — a land of 12-hour workdays, cramped sleep-shifts, and attenuated calorie-counts. In other words, just like the real world.
I guess that's where the whole thing fell apart. It's hardly punishment if Canada's chronically wicked get to live the same overworked, undigested existence as the law-abiding gentry — minus the tax bills. So now we're back to notching walls and daydreaming of fat-bottomed girls. I'm sure the world's a little safer.
I.M GreNada is the pen name of a Canadian prisoner who has been serving life for murder since 1994. The people he writes about are real, but their names have been changed. You can read more about him at theincarceratedinkwell.ca.

We present our tenth Heroes of the Storm Meta Tier List for the Kel'Thuzad patch of September 2017.
Our tenth Heroes of the Storm Meta Tier List for the month of September 2017 is here!
Welcome to Icy Veins's Meta Tier List for the Kel'Thuzad patch. The goal if of this list is to try and detail game's current metagame state. The prime goal of such lists is to inform players regarding popular and trending team composition drafting strategies (i.e. the drafting metagame). Although tier listings are generally the product of balance, many factors come into play when discussing the relative perceived strengths of heroes, including player regions, maps, play style, skill level, and, of course, personal perception. As such, any tier list—including this very one—should never be interpreted as gospel, but rather, as a guide to better grasp what to expect with regards to typical drafting experiences. One useful application of such lists is to allow you know which heroes to look out for in terms of practice and counterplay, ultimately improving your knowledge of the game.
Using the list
As stated above, tier lists are easy to mistake for gospel. As new strategies are discovered and experimented with, so changes the perception of the relative strengths of each hero. Tier lists still prove to be useful as a snapshot of player expectations in terms of drafting. Although it is generally considered preferable to focus on high tier heroes (Prime and Core tiers), it is important to note that Heroes of the Storm's wild character and map designs make it so that any given hero's tier position is prone to fluctuate depending on the situation at hand.
One classic example of such is that of Kerrigan on the Infernal Shrines map. Although we currently judge her to be a low-to-mid-tier hero, her drafting priority shoots up to first-pick or first-ban material on this specific map due to the nature of its objective. Certain heroes also synergise so well with each other that the sole fact of having the opportunity of drafting them together is generally enough to increase their potential. Tassadar and Tracer, for instance, are generally nightmarish to deal with for many. There are too many examples of these interactions to reasonably produce here, but we invite you to consult our guides to know exactly where and when each hero shines. The guides have been linked in the lists below for your convenience - just click any of the hero names to access them.
A ↑ next to a hero's name means its tier list position has increased since the previous month whereas a ↓ means just the opposite. Additionally, a + or - sign indicates short-to-medium term predictions (which is to say, about a month) for tier increase(s) or decrease(s), respectively. These are often updated after significant balance patches and/or when clear trends are emerging.
If you're newer to the game, also consider visiting our glossary for a comprehensive list of discrete Heroes of the Storm terms.
Prime Tier
Warrior Assassin Support Specialist Anub'arak- Genji Uther - Arthas↑ Greymane Tassadar Dehaka↑ Malthael Stitches- Prime tier heroes are considered to be extremely strong in all situations, and show no obvious weakness. They are very often banned or picked right away, as they generally dictate the pace of most matches.
Core Tier
Warrior Assassin Support Specialist Diablo Falstad Auriel Nazeebo E.T.C. Jaina↑ Rehgar Sylvanas Garrosh Li-Ming Stukov Xul Leoric↑- Valla Malfurion↑ Sonya Zeratul Varian (Tank)- Core tier heroes are strong in a wide variety of situations and have few counter-picking possibility. They should form the core of your team, and be picked after Prime Tier heroes have been distributed.
Viable Tier
Warrior Assassin Support Specialist Artanis Alarak Brightwing Abathur Chen Cassia Kharazim Azmodan D.Va Chromie+? Li Li Murky↑ Johanna Gul'dan↓ Lt. Morales+? Probius Muradin+ Illidan↑ Lúcio Zagara Tyrael Kael'thas Tyrande+ Zarya Lunara Ragnaros The Butcher↓ Tracer Varian (Damage) Zul'jin Kel'Thuzad (new!) Viable tier heroes are generally well-rounded that have either fallen out of favour, or, inversely, are on the rise in popularity, due to the current Prime tier contenders.
Niche Tier
Warrior Assassin Support Specialist Cho'gall Cho'gall - Gazlowe Rexxar Kerrigan Medivh Nova Sgt. Hammer Raynor Samuro↓ Valeera Thrall↓ Tychus Niche tier heroes have niche application on certain maps or for certain team compositions. They are generally picked to "round out" your team composition when your team composition is missing out on key components, such as a "jungler" (mercenary camps), a solo laner, or solid waveclear.
Bottom Tier
The Lost Vikings Bottom tier Heroes are deemed to be either considerably weaker than the majority of other Heroes, or much more challenging to play properly. Although they may situationally shine, these Heroes are generally avoided by most players.
Metagame assessment
Kel'Thuzad is excessively powerful under perfect conditions, but is kept in check by the numerous top tier heroes that are either too mobile to reliably hit with Chains of Kel'Thuzad or too resilient to burst down. In this regard, he fits well within Blizzard's recent obsession with making heroes have their own little niche and whatnot. He's doing really fine, sitting at a very reasonable 48%-something w/l ratio, but try to late- or last-pick him when Genji and Tracer and the likes aren't around to make your existence a living hell. I expect him to become better over time as players themselves become better at picking him appropriately and when the typical hype finally dies down. And don't end up having to solo lane if you like completing Master of the Cold Dark.
Self-sustain bruiser-like tanks are the hot thing nowadays. With a metagame that either tries to outsustain the other with two supports, or empower Genji-Greymane-Illidan-Malthael-Tracer-Valla-or-so, surviving a lot while outputting a reasonable amount of sustained damage is great. That's Arthas and Dehaka, right now. A bit ago, Anub'arak and Stitches had their turn, but I expect them to go down in popularity.
Both Jaina and Leoric got significant buffs through their reworks. Jaina is just objectively better, with Frostbite providing Ice Block by level 8-12 rather than 20, and Summon Water Elemental getting its cooldown shaved by a massive 20 seconds. Leoric is more of a sidegrade, but he's exceptional at dealing with popular tanks, has neat waveclear, and can mess with combos with Omnious Wraith. And, of course, March of the Black King was buffed nicely as well to give him some more burst survivability and combo potential.
I'm holding judgement about Chromie, but I expect she might be better than she was, and I already considered her borderline Core tier material. Of course, her new Sand Blast design will make it so that better players will do better than before with her, and worse players will do worse, so we're likely to see more fringe cases.
The Butcher got a pretty big nerf. The hype train was short lived, but, in the end, this is probably for the best.
Gul'dan, Samuro, and Thrall are simply falling out of meta; being a caster without baseline crowd control or an immobile melee assassin is pretty hard nowadays. I still think Gul'dan is in a great place on Braxis Holdout, though the resurgence of Jaina and the... uh, more of Chromie might push him off a bit.
I wish I had a bit more to say, but besides the latest reworks, not that much has changed. I will underline, however, that these reworks have been solid. I didn't mention anything about Lt. Morales, but I do think she's better off than before; we'll need a bit more data to assess whether I'll give her a tier.
Thanks for reading!

A BULLET lodged in the wall of a police station after a home-made gun went off as it was being inspected by forensic experts.
The makeshift weapon had been confiscated in a raid on a property in Leith, Edinburgh, earlier this month.
Three days later, forensic specialists were examining it at Gayfield police station when it went off.

Details of the incident emerged in a report for a meeting of the Scottish Police Authority (SPA).
SPA forensics chief Tom Nelson said: "Two forensic science staff were carrying out an examination of a home-made firearm. During this inspection the weapon was discharged and a projectile was lodged in the wall of the room.No-one was injured."
Investigations have been launched by the Health and Safety Executive and the Police Investigations and Review Commission (PIRC), which is informed of every "unintentional firearms discharge".
A man and a woman appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court following the raid, charged in connection with the weapon. The case was continued.

This May Be A Dumb Question (Fondant/modeling Chocolate/etc.)
Decorating By lrlt2000 Updated 3 Apr 2013 , 7:02pm by aem1029
I am wondering how everyone who does fondant/modeling chocolate/etc. figurines and other items keeps the marks from rubber gloves off of the finished product!? I haven't worked with fondant/modeling chocolate combination yet, but this week's cake will be my first, and it has some hand sculpture. The wrinkles from my gloves show when I try to roll balls or shape pieces. Any tricks?
AI don't use gloves, but from my experience working in a lab...my guess is your gloves are too big.
I used to use small or extra small and never felt like they would bunch.
I also don't use gloves. I wash my hands like crazy and keep my nails super short. But it does sound like you may need smaller gloves.
I don't use gloves for assembly either. I use them to color the fondant so that I don't stain my hands, then wash thoroughly (i have hot hands) and make sure they are good and dry. I will even rub a little corn starch or powdered sugar between my hands too so the fondant doesn't get sticky. Wet hands=sticky messy fondant!

" Brand: Tesco / Type: Carrots "
We go through a huge amount of fresh vegetables in our house due to both my wife and I loving to cook and my passion for making homemade soup, certain vegetables cannot be skimped on but others I find there is little to choose between expensive organic ones and budget ones and one of these vegetables are carrots.
So with that thought in my head I decided on a recent trip to Tesco to try out their value range of Carrots and I was proved right as these carrots were as good as anything I have used before and cost just a fraction of the price.
Although I love cooking there are times when I cannot be bothered with the chopping of carrots and the likes so the fact that these come sliced is also a good thing in my opinion but obviously depending on your use for them this might not work for you.
1kg of these carrots costs only 49p which is about half the price of a kilo of the carrots I had been using which I purchased from Asda, I have to say at this time though that asda also do a budget range of carrot that may well be very good too, I just haven't tried them yet.
I have used these carrots raw and cooked and also in my homemade soup and I am more than happy with them on every count, they are very tasty carrots and also very high in quality and of course as mentioned they are very low in price.
I don't always eat as much fruit and veg as I would like to so each week I usually challenge myself to buy at least one lot of fresh fruit & veg and one lot of frozen fruit & veg and find different, appetising, ways to use them up throughout the week.
I purchased a 1kg bag of Tesco 'Market Value' Sliced Carrots for around 80p which I thought was a bargain. To use the carrots I simply take what I require from the bag then put it back in the fridge or freezer (depending on how much I'm going to use up). I gave these carrots a quick wash and then they were ready to be blitzed as part of a bolognese sauce, used in a curry and cooked in a stew in my slow cooker. These can also be served with dinner as part of any accompaniment or in any dish you like really. I often blend them in to things as I don't notice the texture so much then and I know I've added a couple of servings to a meal for two then I get one of my five a day!
There are some strange sized carrots but for the price I paid I don't care as I'm not using them for presentation just to be healthier. The carrots are hard & crunchy and absolutely yummy. They taste just like any other carrot and I will be buying them again as I like to be healthy and I was pleased with how long they lasted in the fridge (around a week).
Per 100g there is just 35 calories and 0.3g of fat so if I'm peckish occasionally I will take a few of these out, wash them and then dip them in something. This can be a little tricky with some of the smaller slices but at least this keeps me occupied for a little while and takes my mind off wanting chocolate!
I am going to rate these 5/5 as the price is fantastic and they are great when used in a slow cooker as they become really soft and delicious without turning to mush.
Thanks for reading my 800th review!!
You know something? I feel so lazy sometimes that I can't even be bothered to cut carrots when making one of my thai currys!
Ok, so I feel ashamed! :( But my currys do involve dozens of ingredients and so A LOT of prep time, so maybe this is where tescos value sliced carrots come in handy!
The packaging is the usual no thrills affair, keeping the price down. But it still have those vital stats on calories, fat, salt, even though these are carrots we are talking about here! hmmm..
Anyway, to the product;
You'd think perhaps at this price you'd get 'deformed', oddly shaped carrots right? Well, you'd be right! But guess what? Vegetables are supped to come in a variety of shapes and colours, some occasionally look oddly shaped to us, but this is just because we have been conditioned to believe this by supermarkets who throw away or reject perfectly good vegetables just because they have a strange bump coming out of them...
These carrots are perfectly fine, they taste just like any other carrot you'd buy anywhere else. They have a nice crunch to them and I can say they are a nice addition to my currys! They save a few minutes in prep time and are cheap!
It's win-win.
What can really be said about these tiny orange vegetables? They're exactly what they say on the pack, value carrots.
Bear in mind that they're extra value, so they're falling into the not-perfect-but-taste-good category. As long as you give the bag a brief onceover for some flaws (which I recommend you to do with all food) you're going to get some oddly shaped, but perfectly edible value carrots. The price is great, they can be used in loads of things, or washed and eaten as-is.
It's not even as though the shape or size is a problem in the long run either, sure they're a little odd looking, but given that the bags are measured out in weight, you're getting the same amount each bag. And who cares what they look like if you're going to chop them up and put them in another dish?
Worth buying? Definitely, if you don't mind the occasional rogue carrot, they're just as good as more expensive alternatives.
Okay so anyone who reads my (mostly food!) reviews will know that I am not one to turn my nose up at the cheaper brands in an effort to save money for more fun things like travelling! This mainly involves attempting to buy pretty much the whole Tesco Value range which has mostly impressed me this far.
One of those items is value carrots. These are one of those things that I don't really understand why people don't always buy, unless they want organic vegetables. The reason why they are value is because they are not 'Class 1' i.e. not the best, they don't make the standard usually because they are quite small or oddly shaped.
They are sold in 1kg bags which is clear with a white square on the front with the Tesco value logo (they call these 'market value' now) the word 'carrots' and a little line tell tell you how much of your 5 a day they provide.
The carrots themselves are indeed all shapes and sizes, some only 3 inches long and some a bit wonky. This does not put me off at all as I am only going to be peeling them and cutting them up, so what does it matter. They are all good quality and if there were any not very good then you would be able to see it through the bag. I have never had any problems with them.
They are crunchy, not bendy and soft, taste like well, carrots and are suitable for cooking with and eating raw. They are also very good for you!
They cost 75p for a 1kg bag and contain 35 calories and 0.3g of fat per 100g.
Okay so pre packed pre cut vegtables are vegtables for the lazy person!!
Hey so what I'm Lazy!!
I normally eat them raw either on their own or with humous! Tesco also do a Carrot baton which are just as nice.
Okay the facts
100g contains 39calories. 0.3% of fat and one third of the pack is 1/5 of your 5 a day fruit and veg!!
Good news all round
Ingredients : Carrots (100%)
Free from nuts.
Carrots can be microwaved in the packaging for 4mins
Or cooked in hot water on the hob for 4-5 mins.
Keep the item refridgerated, use by the sell by date and no not freeze.
These carrots can be used for a variety of meals.
Eaten alone raw
With humous
Vegetable lasagne
As part of a tasty roast dinner.
Mashed up with swede
The list is endless.
They offer the goodness of carrots without all the hassle of washing, peeling and cutting.
I am in two minds about this product. Tesco do a good range of products at a lower price, called their 'Value' selection. When it comes to baked beans or a snack or soups, etc, I don't usually have an issue as long as I appreciate that you get what you pay for. However, when it turns round to fresher produce such as fruit or veg, I wrestle wth myself.
On a negative note, this promotes laziness and you have to question the freshness of the product. The above picture shows you that you can buy pre-sliced carrots in the Value range, but you can also get Value carrots as you would buy them loose on the shelf, pre-packaged and ready for your selection. Now, you could argue that it makes it quicker and simpler, particularly for the person who doesn't have the time or inclination to stand over a hot stove cooking veg for themselves or their family. But I would much rather have a good selection of fresh veg from a greengrocer which is likely to be as cheap but better quality.
On the plus side, the work is done for you and it won't cost you much, open the packet and drop them in some boiling water, or add them to whatever meal or casserole you're cooking - job done! I suppose as long as the quality remains to some extent, then it's okay. The carrots shown in the picture above save time as wel as promote laziness, but I guess it is up to us to decide which reason we buy it for! The carrots which are pre-packaged but still whole are generally decent quality, but one thing you have to remind yourself is of the reason they are a Value product. Quite often, they are lesser quality than other carrots, and may have been grown under forced condition to promote quicker but less natural growth. This is where the morality and ethical issue comes in. If you like your organic food and what it stands for, then this is probably not for you.
Overall, I guess this is an okay product to buy, if you want to save time and a bit of money in comparison to a lot of the options. I have bought both types of Value carrots before, but I prefer to choose my own carrots, on the whole. I'm giving Tesco Value carrots 3 stars , because it gives you a good option, and carrots don't often vary in taste that much.
I use quite a lot of carrots as I like them raw, steamed, roasted and also make my own carrot cakes and muffins. When eating fruit and vegetables it's important to choose ones which has different colours as this is where you are getting a good combination of vitamins, and what better than a bright orange addition to your meal.
Carrots, along with most other vegetables, are getting more and more expensive in my local greengrocers shop so when I noticed that Tesco are now selling them as part of their 'Market Value' range I decided to buy a bag to try.
I was very impressed considering these carrots cost only 49p for a large bag, unfortunately I threw the plasic bag away as I store my carrots in a basket in the pantry so can't tell you the exact weight of them. I'd say a pile of carrots of this size would have ordinarily cost me around £2 in the greengrocers though so a hefty saving to be made here.
The carrots were all firm and appetising looking. Because this is the cheaper end of the vegetable market, they are perhaps not as perfect looking as other carrots you can buy but at the end of the day these are going to be peeled and chopped or grated who I didn't really care about that. Some of the carrots are decidedly ugly, including a few that are actually half carrots, but all are perfectly edible and have a lovely flavour.
The flavour of these carrots is quite mild which I find is a bit of a pain as they are slightly tasteless when eaten raw with a dip, but once cooked the flavour comes out beautifully and there is very little difference between these and more expensive carrots.
They have proved themselves time and again since I first started buying these a week or two ago, and I will certainly continue buying them because I cannot see the sense in spending extra money on the same product, albeit prettier carrots in a nicer bag.
Just today I made a batch of individual carrot cakes using these carrots and they are delicious, the addition of the carrot has made them lovely and moist with a definite carroty taste to the cakes. I used a handful in a stew I made yesterday too and they softened beautifully and ensured I had my 5-a-day yesterday.
They keep much better than I was expecting them to, stored in the cool pantry I successfully kept them for just under a week although a bag of carrots rarely lasts so long in my house anyway it's just that I had very little cooking to do last week. So even for those of you who do not use as many carrots, buy a bag of these and they'll keep fine for at least seven days after purchase providing they have been stored properly.
To be honest I do not find any of the carrots in Tesco particulary tasty when compared to the ones I can buy at farmers markets or that my father used to grow in his garden so if I have no choice but to get carrots from Tesco then I usually go for the cheapest option which is their value brand.
I do not buy them in the pre packed form that Dooyoo have a picture of instead I tend to buy them in a pack as whole carrots, the only reason that I can see they are in the value range as opposed to the loose normally priced ones is that these may have the odd blemish on them and certainly they do not seem to last very long in the chiller compartment however I find that if I'm using them in a stew or casserole then they are perfectly good enough.
I also like to roast them as well and dependant upon size this will either be whole or cut in half so they resemble a cut of a parsnip and they taste really good roasted with a little honey on them and cooked with other root vegetables and some chunks of red pepper as well.
If any of you have been kind enough to read any of my food reviews, you'll know that I'm on a mission to try & save money on my ever-increasing food shopping!
I have read a lot of reviews on Dooyoo about the Tesco value range so have added a few items into my basket which Dooyooers have tried & tested.
On Tesco.com I saw 1kg of carrots for 49p - our local greengrocer was selling them at 89p so I decided to opt for the Tesco ones despite liking to support the little shops.
True, these weren't as well-shaped or all the same size - but who cares?!
The carrots came in a plastic bag with the usual Tesco logo etc.
I'd advise opening the bag as soon as possible as they could go sweaty & store as usual.
The carrots varied in size - some big with knobbly bits & some quite small & a few half ones - not a problem as far as I'm concerned as they tasted just the same.
These may not last as long as other ones? but as we eat a lot in various ways in our family the saving is worth it.
They are crunchy, taste good & are the same colour as more expensive ones - once peeled, grated, chopped or diced they look just the same - as far as I'm concerned why pay more?
uses for any carrots
My eldest daughter likes raw carrot sticks which are also good for garnishing & dips.
They are great raw ( & as they're uncooked they retain a few more vitamins) for lunchboxes for school , college or work
I like to make fresh vegetable soup using seasonal vegetables so these are ideal for that & for carrot & coriander soup.
Carrots are good to make stews, curries & casseroles go that bit further whilst adding fibre & a few vitamins.
when I have the urge to have a baking session I like to make carrot cake - as the carrots are grated these value ones are ideal once again.
I think it's nice to add some colour to dishes and I'd recommend giving these cheapo ones a try?
I know what you are thinking! How lazy is she buying repacked ready sliced carrots but my excuse is they are cheap and great for when we are in a hurry.
I noticed my local Tesco have just started stocking theses so a few weeks ago I had a banging headache and felt sick but my family still needed feeding! I popped into Tesco (bad idea when you have a headache) I bought a cooked chicken, Tesco value ready chopped carrots and a bag of peas. On the way home, I grabbed a bag of chips from the chippy and that was tea done!
The carrots cooked along with the peas very quickly and they did not turn the water all orange like they can do sometimes. The carrots tasted a little metallic uncooked and I really did not like the taste of them raw but they were great cooked. The family ate them without even commenting which is a good sign as they always complain if things are not 100%.
I bought these carrots as a one off as I was in a rush but to be honest I would rather use fresh carrots, as pre packed carrots must be treated to keep them fresh so in they are not as good for your body as fresh carrots.
my advice would be great if you are in a hurry and don't try them raw!
sorry i forgot to let you know how much they cost a 1.5kg bag costs 68p
With my being on maternity leave we have, probably along with most people now adays, been looking at how we can reduce the cost of our weekly shop - no mean feat with how much the price of food is going up!
We used to try and buy organic where we could but sadly that's had to stop for now! These carrots are considered as class 2 by tesco and come in a 1.5kg bag for which you will pay 68p! (approx 45p/kg) This is quite some saving compared to their class 1 carrots which cost 87p for a 1kg bag!
The packaging is standard tesco value packaging - clear plastic bag with the white and blue strips and value written in red.
My first thought when opening the bag is just how big the carrots are, my husband takes raw carrots in to work as part of his packed lunch and I was hoping that they weren't going to be too woody or tasteless! They passed his taste test with ease, they were just as good a taste as non value carrots! They made a nice addition to a stew (where is the sun? It's summer and I'm cooking stews for goodness sake!!) and taste nice boiled too. I haven't roasted them yet but will do tomorrow with a roast!
The website lists them as having a short life span but they still were nice and fresh at the end of the week!
For the saving you get it is worth buying these carrots, they might not look particularly attractive (they are quite large and funny shapes!) but they taste good which is, after all, why you buy food! We have bought these again with our shop this week and will continue to do so!
Tesco Value Carrots...............
Tesco Value Carrots are exactly what they say on the packaging. Basic carrots at a basic price. You seem to get a fairly good amount in a packet for a price of under 50 pence which is a mere snip of a price compared to other carrots than you can buy.
Up until this week, I had been buying carrots with the top on for a few pounds from my local veg man and these were delicious. They had a very strong and carrot like taste which when steamed the flavour was really brought out.
I thought I would give the value carrots a try just to see if my money on carrots was being well spent and if I could get a just as good tasting carrot at the fraction of the price. The answer to this question however has got to be no, the flavour you get from fresh top on carrots is nothing compared to the flavour you get with cheap and budget carrots from the supermarket.
I have to say the Tesco value carrots were nice and fresh looking and the overall appearance was good. They had a nice orange carrot colour but not as soil in colour as my usual local top on carrots. They were a lot chunkier in size compared to my normal ones and possibly seemed a little harder to cut - but again this may have just been the size.
The main part for me however has to be the taste test and this is where the value range failed miserably. The Value carrots were crunchy and did have that faint carrot taste but this flavour was nothing as to the flavour I usually get with my top on carrots from the beg man. I think that I am such a carrot fan at meal times that it is important to get the flavour you want and this just was not there when I was eating the value carrots. It did have some flavour but just nowhere enough for me to enjoy them as much as usual.
I do think for the price that they are very good and when times are hard (such as they are now) I may just have to make a few sacrifices but I think for the small price difference I would much prefer a better tasting carrot.
Overall, I would say that it was a carrot, pure and simple, but the flavour was far milder but some people I think would not mind this in the least. For me I think I will continue to get my carrots from the local veg man. All in all however not a particular bad carrot just not a brilliant one either.
5/10 for Tesco Value Carrots.
Tesco do a cheaper range of prodcuts called the 'value range', this is across the store with various products, including their food range.
With the credit crunch and the ever increasing food price increases, more and more people are trying cheaper alternatives to their normal branded foods.
They do value tinned carrots which come in a 300g tin, which at the time of writing the review on tesco value carrots are 23p per tin,
They also do 2kg bags of value carrots which at present are 68p
and they also do 600g bags of pre-sliced value carrots at £1.00
I used to keep some of the value tinned carrots in the cupboard for emergencies, but i must admit, i personally find that they go cold very quickly after heating, and the texture is quite mushy so to speak.
I have never bought the pre-sliced value carrots at a £1.oo per bag, as i feel from a money saving point of view, they are not worth it, but if you are time starved, then they do save you time in the preperation of them.
I allways buy the 2kg bags of value carrots, and there is no difference in taste and quality to the other graded carrots that supermarkets offer for sale. The only thing i would say on occassions the carrots can be on the bigger side, which some people think once a carrot is a certain size it loses its flavour.. but i havent noticed this..
Some people feel that they will not use the 2kg of carrots quick enough, and that there will be alot of waste by throwing the rest away, but these carrots are ideal for blanching, and then freezing, so there is no need to throw anything away.
To Blanch..
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil.... clean and cut your carrots, in the way your normally prepare them, once the water is boiling hot.... put the carrots into the boiling water for a few minutes.... then drain them off and submerge or run the cold water over them, so you are cooling them down quickly.
once they have cooled, just pop them into a freezer bag, and pop them into the fast freeze compartment of your freezer...
as easy as that...... and no waste food..
I personally recommend Tesco Value Carrots..
Carrots, a fantastic cheap vegetable that go well with just about everything. I've had pet rabbits for my whole life and having 4 or 5 at once can become expensive so I decided to try buying the value ones for them one week.
I had a pure white rabbit, a pure breed who looked like snow. She was a lop eared bunny and like most rabbits of that breed had a big fat sticking out chin. She always used to keep it clean but after I fed her these carrots and the fur on her big chin turned bright orange, this was a couple of years ago so I don't know whether or not they are of the same quality anymore but it was really offputting to see her fur. I think that they must have put some kind of colouring in them because no other brand of carrots including ones I've grown myself have ever done that to any of my rabbits.
It took months to get her fur back to being pure white which is really quite worrying. I wouldn't reccomend them as they didn't seem very good quality and the fact that they stained so much was quite worrying.
Stick to normal carrots and pay a few pence more for better quality.

The goal of the two-year residency program in Cardiothoracic Surgery at Yale University School of Medicine and Yale-New Haven Hospital is to train surgical specialists who will be qualified to practice this specialty and, particularly, who will have the opportunity and ability to become academicians. We expect all trainees to finish the residency with a broad basic understanding of cardiovascular and thoracic physiology and disease, and with technical expertise in this specialty. To give the widest possible experience to residents, the Cardiothoracic Surgical Service at the West Haven Veterans Administration Medical Center and the Thoracic Surgical Service at the Hospital of St. Raphael are incorporated with the Surgical Services at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
One first year cardiothoracic resident spends six months the first year on the Thoracic Surgical Service, participating in the operations performed on the service and carrying out operative procedures commensurate with training. The other cardiothoracic first year resident rotates for six months at the West Haven Veterans Administration Hospital. Five Physician's Assistants and two Nurse Practitioners add greatly to the quality of care on the wards, CTICU, and in the operating room.
The second year experience is organized into one six-month rotation at the Yale-New Haven Hospital on adult cardiac surgery; one four-month rotation on pediatric cardiac surgery; and a two-month rotation during that block for either thoracic and/or adult cardiac surgery. This two-month rotation will allow the Chief Resident to get additional exposure to the pathway of their choice. Senior residents are appointed as Instructors on the faculty and play a vital role with the faculty in the instruction of Yale medical students and surgical residents on the patient care divisions of the teaching hospitals. They also enjoy certain faculty privileges accompanying this rank. A broad and balanced experience in cardiac and general thoracic surgery is assured.
Members of the Section conduct an active research program involving basic science and clinical problems in cardiothoracic surgery. The research activities cover a broad array of cardiac and thoracic physiology and pathology. Well-equipped laboratories are available. These activities provide opportunities for animal operations and work in biochemistry and electronics. The laboratories are staffed by several full-time basic scientists and surgical research fellows, and by other appropriate technical personnel. Although the two year program provides little time for active research other than on clinical problems, research fellowships are also available and development of an academic career in cardiothoracic surgery is supported and encouraged.
Conferences include a weekly tumor board conference, a combined adult cardiology, radiology and cardiothoracic surgery conference, a work conference for review of the patients studied in the cardiac catheterization laboratory the previous week, a combined pediatric cardiology, radiology and cardiothoracic surgery conference reviewing all children studied during the previous week, a cardiac transplant conference, a cardiac and thoracic surgery mortality and morbidity review conference, a bi-weekly lecture/seminar in cardiac and thoracic surgery and related basic science aspects, and the Department of Surgery Grand Rounds.
To qualify for admission to the program the applicant must have completed a full residency in General Surgery accredited by either the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. All applications are to be submitted through ERAS, and we participate in the Thoracic Surgery National Resident Matching Program. It is expected also that the applicant will have had some experience on a cardiothoracic service during that period. Research experience and long-term commitment to investigative work are sought in residency applicants. Email may be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Round 1 Notebook: Boeing ClassicAugust 27, 2010
Dave Senko, PGA TOUR staff
Weather: A mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid-60s. Winds were from WNW at 5-15 mph.
• Current Leaderboard: 1 -- Nick Price (63/-9); 2 -- Tom Pernice, Jr. (64/-8); T3 -- Hal Sutton, Bernhard Langer (66/-6); T5 -- Mark Wiebe, Gil Morgan (67/-5).
• Nick Price's 9-under-par 63 matched the best first-round score in tournament history set in 2006 by Massy Kuramoto. Price's round included 10 birdies and one bogey and he one-putted 12 of 18 holes. At last week's JELD-WEN Tradition, Price had just 11 birdies in four rounds.
• Price's opening-round 63 overshadowed a nice effort by Tom Pernice, Jr. Making his first start on the Champions Tour since April's Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am (he has been competing on the PGA TOUR); Pernice shot an 8-under-par 64, his career low round on the Champions Tour.
• Bernhard Langer celebrated his 53rdbirthday on Friday and posted a 6-under-par 66. It was his fourth straight round in the 60s at this event and also the fifth straight this year in the area. He shot four straight rounds in the 60s at the U.S. Senior Open at Sahalee last month. Langer led all players with 13 one-putts and had just 23 putts, sharing honors for the day's fewest putts with Hal Sutton.
• Olin Browne extended his streak of consecutive holes without a three-putt to 204 on Friday. Chien-soon Lu had started the day with a streak of 155 and extended that to 169, before he four-putted No. 15. It was nearly the same story for Jay Haas. He had a streak of 154 in succession and pushed that to 165 before a three-putt at No. 12.
• Hal Sutton followed his final-round 63 a year ago with a 6-under-par 66 and in the process ran his streak of consecutive holes at the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge without a bogey to 46 straight holes.
• Andy Bean withdrew during the first round due to a family matter.
• Tom Pernice, Jr., made two eagles in the first round. It marked the 14th time it has happened this year on the Champions Tour.
• Defending champion Loren Roberts shot a 4-under-par 68 and is currently T7.
• A total of 16 players in the 77-man field posted rounds in the 60s and 38 finished under par. The field averaged 71.831 compared to 72.603 in 2009.
• Bob Gilder made his 162nd consecutive start for events he has been eligible for on Friday. That is the longest current streak in that category.
• The most difficult hole was No. 4 with a scoring average of 4.286 (+.286), while No. 1 was the easiest at 4.481 (-.519). No. 1 yielded two eagles and 36 birdies and there were no bogeys in the round.
• Pernice, Jr., Hal Sutton and Fred Funk were the only players to post bogey-free rounds on Friday.
• Gil Morgan's 5-under-par 67 was his best round since a final-round 67 at the Regions Charity Classic in May. Morgan has now posted seven sub-par rounds in his last eight starts after battling neck problems for part of the summer which sidelined him for nearly two months.
• No first-round leader has even gone on to win this event in the five-year history of the tournament. So far in 2010, a total of four first-round leaders/co-leaders has gone on to win.
• John Cook's 1-under-par 71 extended his string of consecutive sub-par rounds in this event to six.
• Jerry Pate rebounded from a 4-over-par 40 on his first nine holes to shoot a 5-under-par 31 on his second nine. Among the seven eagles in Round One, Pate had the lone eagle on a par-4, making a two on No. 7.
• Seattle native Fred Couples opened with a 4-under-par 68 and is T7, five strokes behind Nick Price.

Human Geography: People, Place, and Culture, 10th Edition, Erin H. Fouberg
Human Geography 10th Edition includes all of the important concepts and theory on Human Geography as previous issues with a more succinct and engaging narrative while going in depth to touch on all the major themes of the topic. The text focuses on identity and how every human being forges an identity in a globalized world. It includes recurring coverage of "identity" and how people make places and shape identities to see global, local and individual implications of decisions that people make every day.The main objective of this issue is to provide more understanding of human systems from a spatial perspective; ways to think globally; and ways to understand real-world implications of Human Geography. The text will help encourage a better understanding of how to create an identity in a globalized world and how decisions happen in a global context and can have global impacts.
Points to Ponder from Human Geography: People, Place, and Culture 10th Edition
- Hindus believe cows are holy. In India, evidence of that can be seen everywhere from cows roaming the streets to the menu at McDonalds, which serves Maharaja Macs and Vegetable Burgers with Cheese.
- The South-North Water Transfer Project will cost $60 billion and divert water from southern to northern China along three different routes.
- Many Hawaiians hang their state flag upside down to let the State government and the country know that they have not forgotten the annexation by the United States of their kingdom.
- In 2009 and 2010, Las Vegas has been rated first or second in the number of home and rental vacancies in the United States.
- The world's first bridge made entirely of cast iron was constructed in the late eighteenth century near Coalbrookdale, England.
- Russia is the world's top oil producing country, producing 10.12 million barrels of oil per day.
- Factory workers in Humen, China, who typically work seven days a week, with breaks only on Sunday evenings and one day at the start of each month, earn the equivalent of close to $500/month.
- Kilauea, located in the Hawaiian Islands, is one of Earth's most active volcanoes, having been erupting almost continuously since 1983.
- As a form of alternative energy, the wind park near Lake Benton, Minnesota was developed starting in 1994. The park now includes over 600 wind turbines.
- In per capita emissions of carbon dioxide, the United States, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates are the highest in the world.
- Shanghai, China now has the longest metro system on Earth- a system capable of transporting 5 million people a day.
- Chinese is spoken by 1,213 million people, while English is spoken by 341 million. However, the English language makes up 68% of all internet content. Chinese makes up only 4% of global internet content.
- The Tomb of the Chinese Emperor Qin Xi Huang is guarded by more than 7,000 terracotta warriors. An estimated 700,000 laborers worked for over 40 years to craft them around 200 BCE.
I received the book in a timely manner for a good price, and in ok condition. The listing said that it was hard cover and I received a damaged paperback. I feel like this was deception/miscommunication on the part of the seller. The book on the inside is in mint condition, but the cover was water damaged because it was sent from the sunny south to the cold and wet north in a paper bag like package instead of the way it should have been handled, either wrapped in a flat rate box or sent in a padded envelope. I appreciated the delivery time and the inside of the book, but was disappointed by the book being water-damaged en-route to my house.

Ok starting off a blog update with at 3 letter acronym is not my finest hour! TVP = Thames Valley Park, our Reading office, within which you will now find all poster placements from Building 1 through 5 filled with Microsoft Dynamics ERP posters. Hurrah!
This has kicked off a multi-faceted campaign internally to talk more widely around the ERP solutions and their benefits to our customers. For those of you attending the roadshows you would have seen the images being used in the poster and pull-ups. However for those not, here's an example of what you're now greeted with wandering through the buildings.
Equally, when neither myself or Andrew were in the office we received thank you emails from some of our more "hungry" colleagues because our ERP cup cakes landed. here's one below being modelled by Andrew that managed to be transported from Reading to London (thanks Lou!)
Microsoft Dynamics ERP and AX 2012 has well and truly landed

It's not the big gifts that get me frantic each holiday season. It's all the little ones.
You know what I mean: The Secret Santa exchanges, the gifts for crossing guards and teacher's assistants, the little something for the postman and UPS guy, the neighbor gifts and oh yeah, I need to pick up a treat for my hairdresser!
There are literally hundreds of people in my life that I would sincerely like to give a "little something" to, but there are only so many Starbucks cards I can afford, and so much time I have to craft and bake.
A few years ago when my kids switched to schools that involved switching classes throughout the day, we went from one or two teachers and aides to ten to fifteen teachers and aides (times four kids!) and I started baking gifts in bulk. I developed a few go-to gifts that never fail to please, including this one: Rocky Road Pumpkin Bread!
I try to keep it simple for these gifts. The holidays are already full of pressure and stress. I don't expect most of my creations to go viral on Pinterest. They may not be magazine quality or worthy of a photo shoot. But they do taste delicious, and look pretty cute. They are clearly gifts from the heart.
I always insist on involving the kids in the holiday gift baking production when the gifts are for the people in their lives, so they can feel the pride of accomplishment and joy of gifting.
One of our favorite gift go-tos are mini loaves of "Rocky Road Pumpkin Bread". This treat is a Casa De Chaos house special that my kids love to eat as much as they love to gift. Extra loaves never last. We start out with boxed Pumpkin Bread mix which saves us a little time and guesswork.
Rocky Road Pumpkin Bread Recipe (makes 10 mini loaves)
- 2 Boxes of Pumpkin Bread Mix – or enough for two 8 inch loaf pan loaves
- 3/4 c chocolate chips
- 3/4 c chopped toasted almonds or your favorite nut
- 3/4 c mini marshmallows
Gift Packaging Supplies:
- Mini crocks to bake the loaves in. I purchased them for $1 each at a local craft store — a nice and affordable touch. You could also use disposable paper or aluminum mini loaf pans.
- Cellophane to wrap the gifts
- Ribbon to tie the cellophane
- Manilla tags to decorate
- Colored Pencils, craft punches and markers to decorate the tags.
See how our Rocky Road Pumpkin Bread gifts turned out here:

He is no longer maintaining the xfree86 backport, but instead recommends Adrian Bunk's. However, adding Adrian Bunk's lines will upgrade a whole bunch of things that you probably don't want (openoffice.org, freetype, etc). Therefore, I built xfree86 from Adrian's sources. I have been running it over the weekend, it works great, and will upload it today. It should hit the mirrors tonight. The side benefit of this is that people now only need the gnome2.2 line in the sources list to get everything they need for gnome2.2 (except Official woody of course).

text: Meet the most interesting man in the NBA By Norman Chad November 17, 2013 Story Share SURE, THE MOST interesting man in the world is the Dos Equis guy. But the second-most interesting man in the world is a 6-foot-8 globetrotting Russian playboy millionaire with pursuits in metals, gold, mining, denim, yachting, politics and the 24-second shot clock.Mikhail Prokhorov, the owner of the NBA's Brooklyn, nee New Jersey, Nets, is a cross between Mark Cuban, George Steinbrenner and Richard Branson.The second-most interesting man in the world - who bought the Nets from Bruce Ratner in May 2010 - has:The most interesting arena.The most interesting roster.The most interesting payroll.Before we get to any of that, it must be noted that Prokhorov, 48, ran as an independent candidate in the 2012 Russian presidential election, finishing third with 7.9 percent of the vote. Which makes Prokhorov a 21st-century version of George Wallace, John B. Anderson and Ross Perot.(If you buy the Nets, you are a dreamer. If you run against Vladimir Putin, you are an impossible dreamer.)When he bought the Nets, Prokhorov vowed to make them NBA champions within five years; like a politician, he's probably making a promise he cannot keep. His new catchphrase for the Nets is, "We're aiming for amazing," which, of course, sounds better than, "We're aiming for 45-37." Prokhorov inherited the controversial, then-under construction Barclays Center - it's always nice when the public subsidizes a new arena for the 58th richest man in the world - and the building immediately was hailed as the savior of Brooklyn, which, unbeknownst to many of its residents, had been in steady decline since baseball's Dodgers left town in 1958.(By the way, the construction of the arena - challenged unsuccessfully several times in court - was a case of moneyed interests once again plowing over unmoneyed interests, with the unmoneyed once again picking up a large part of the cost of the business. Or, as Prokhorov might eloquently state, "It's good to be in America.")Armed with a personal fortune and the largesse of the community, Prokhorov decided to literally gather a lineup of all-stars. The Nets' starting five this season of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, Deron Williams and Brook Lopez has a combined 35 all-star game appearances, with 10-time all-star Jason Kidd the team's first-year coach.At the moment, all that star power has led to a 3-6 record, which proves the old adage that you can lead a stable of stud horses to water but you can't make 'em hit an open jump shot.Naturally, the price of assembling a super team - albeit, a flawed one - is NBA-astronomical. The Nets easily have the league's top player payroll this season: $101 million. (The highest-paid Net is Johnson, at $21.5 million. Yes, $21.5 million. I'll be honest with you - even if Johnson juggled a baby, a bowling ball and a steak knife at halftime and single-handedly stopped global warming, he's not putting one additional fan into the stands.) The $101 million payroll also triggered a league-record luxury tax bill of $80 million-plus, putting the Nets' total tab over $180 million. The luxury tax is designed to punish the biggest spenders; it's in place to discourage someone like Prokhorov from emptying his fat wallet.(Incidentally, I've always wondered where the luxury tax goes. As it turns out, half the luxury bill is redistributed to the teams below the tax line and the rest goes to the league's revenue-sharing pool, with a small amount set aside to re-carpet David Stern's office, which seems preposterous to me considering he's retiring in February and you know incoming commissioner Adam Silver is going to want to redecorate.)Anyway, Prokhorov - worth a reported $13 billion - doesn't mind the extra $80 million in luxury taxes, but he's backed off his original claim that if the Nets don't win a title within five years, he would get married.Prokhorov now says that was a joke.To be honest, I think the second-most interesting man in the world realized that marriage was one luxury tax he didn't want to pay.Ask The Slouch Q.

Millennial investors are more conservative and less trusting of financial advisors than baby-boom and Gen X investors, and more inclined to consult other sources before accepting financial advice, according to an Accenture (NYSE: ACN) survey of more than 1,000 high-income, digitally savvy U.S. investors. The survey also revealed that millennials are the most determined of the three generations to learn how to invest and pass along wealth to their families. Forty-three percent of millennial respondents (age 21-30) described themselves as "conservative" investors, compared with 31 percent of baby-boom respondents (age 46-70). Millennials were also significantly more likely than baby boomers to say they prefer "tried and true" investment options (27 percent vs. 19 percent, respectively). They were four times more likely than baby boomers (28 percent vs. seven percent, respectively) to say they are unwilling to act on the advice of a financial advisor without first consulting other sources. Forty-four percent of millennials said they "spend a lot of time researching alternatives before making a major purchase decision" – compared with 33 percent of baby boomers. Viable Target "Surprisingly, the millennial generation has emerged from two boom-and-bust cycles even more conservative about investing and more skeptical of financial advice than the generations that were hit hardest by the market," said Alex Pigliucci, global managing director of Accenture Wealth and Asset Management Services. "This poses a fundamental challenge for financial advisors who will see the greatest transfer of wealth in history from boomers to their heirs over the next several decades. But counter to prevailing wisdom, our research suggests millennials are a highly viable target for advisors." According to the survey, published in Accenture's new report "Generation D: An Emerging and Important Investor Segment," millennials are the most driven among the generations to build and pass along wealth, and the most interested in mastering investment strategy. Forty percent of millennial respondents said they are "determined" to pass along wealth to their families, compared to 25 percent of baby boomers and Gen Xers (age 31-45). Forty-four percent of millennials described themselves as "extremely" interested to improve their understanding of investing compared to 38 percent of older respondents. The survey points to unmet demand for online investor education and advisor-interaction tools that could increase millennial investing and help bridge the "trust gap" with financial advisors. Presented with concepts for new online educational resources – ranging from online investment forums and educational web-based video services, to virtual advisor chats, webinars and social media – millennial respondents showed overwhelming interest.
