A Superior Court judge on Wednesday tentatively dismissed a lawsuit challenging Carlsbad Unified School District's plan to build a new high school on a 57-acre property near College Boulevard and Cannon Road.
The ruling by Judge William Dato is expected to be finalized at a court hearing Thursday, said Walter Freeman, assistant superintendent in charge of business services for the district.
The lawsuit was filed by land developer Bentley-Wing Properties Inc., as well the Rancho Carlsbad Owners Association, another neighborhood group near the high school property.
The suit claimed the school district hasn't adequately addressed the environmental and traffic problems that could be caused by the campus.
District officials have repeatedly said they thought the lawsuit was about money and who will pay to build roads in the area.
David Bentley, co-owner of the development company, said in an e-mail Wednesday that he thinks the litigation succeeded in forcing the district to "make substantial project improvements in the areas of traffic safety, biological protection and water quality."
He said he and the other property owners will review the tentative ruling with their lawyers and consider filing an appeal.
District officials plan to start grading the site next month, but are waiting on two permits that could delay the work by another year if they're not secured by October, district officials have said.
The district hopes to open the school in 2013 with as many as 1,500 students.
"One of the hurdles, presumably, is out of the way," Freeman said about the lawsuit.
The city of Carlsbad and an environmental group also sued the district over plans for the project. Those lawsuits were settled last year.
Originally, the district planned to open the school in 2011, but had to delay the project by at least two years because of environmental concerns. The district can't do certain work at the site between February and September, when a protected bird species there has its mating season.
The project is expected to cost nearly $100 million, which will be mostly money that the district borrows through Proposition P, the $198 million school-construction measure voters approved in 2006.

WASHINGTON >> Medical experts are recommending that people steer clear of beta-carotene and vitamin E to prevent cardiovascular disease, according to a study released Monday.
An independent volunteer panel of medical experts released a statement recommending against using beta-carotene and vitamin E in a study in which they concluded there is not enough evidence to determine whether taking vitamins and minerals prevents cardiovascular disease or cancer.
The study's findings were disputed by regional medical researchers.
"Cardiovascular disease and cancer have significant health impact in America, and we all want to find ways to prevent diseases, says Dr. Virginia Moyer, co-chair of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, in a statement released Monday.
"The evidence shows that there is no benefit to taking vitamin E and that beta-carotene can be harmful because it increases the risk of lung cancer in people who are already at increased risk for the disease," says Dr. Michael LeFevre, who is co-chair of the task force.
"Due to the uncertain benefit of vitamin supplements to prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer, health care professionals should use their best judgement and consider their patient's health history, values and preferences when having conversations about nutritional supplements," LeFevre said.
"The Task Force is a pretty conservative group," said Dr. David Heber, founding director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition and member of UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Heber noted that the group, in 2012, recommended against PSA-based screening for prostate cancer for men, regardless of age.
"It is unrealistic to expect vitamins to prevent cancer," Heber said, when so many people don't eat right and are overweight.
Heber disputed the Task Force recommendation that beta-carotene is harmful.
"Beta-carotene is a safe way to absorb vitamin A," he said.
Similarly, he said vitamine E is a safe way to take in antioxidants.
Nearly 60 percent of Americans take multivitamins and of those, 35 percent take them every day.
"They are not a substitute for a good diet," he said.
Scientists at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University say it may be premature to rule out any benefits of supplemental vitamin E.
The task force report does not mention that many trials "were of short duration and commenced late in life, which are relevant to the study of cardiovascular disease and cancer," the institute said in a prepared statement.
"Taking a daily multivitamin/multimineral is a safe, affordable, and simple way to help fill nutritional and improve micronutrient status of Americans," LPI experts wrote.
The Task Force's final recommendation statement is published online in the Annals of Internal Medicine as well as on the Task Force Web site: uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org.

text: I was just wondering if I am the only one who seems to think this way. Are the Texans playing agiste the opposing team and the refs every week? The reason i say this is that we seem to get some really shady calls or no calls every week. This week was 1: the incomplete but complete pass. The Ravens receiver did not catch that long past th e ball clearly bounces as he goes down(yes i was screaming for a challenge also but that s another topic) looking at the reaplay ther Ref was less than 4 yards away looking right at it. 2:The non call on the 4th and 1 facemask against Foster that would have placed us at the 5 yard line. 3:The his foot didnt hit the ground call. That one pisses me off for more than one reason first his foot hit the ground. second that challenge wasnt for the catch it was for yardage. ( im not sure of the rule on challenging so i that one i will let go kinda) 4:Oh and I missed one!!! The not called intentional grounding against Flacco early in the game ie was getting sacked and he just flung it out from his body, went no where near the line of scrimmage he was not out of the pocket and there were no potential receivers anywhere near him! this was the most blatent intentional grounding i have ever seen and it was not called. There are lots of others that i remember like phantom defensless receiver calls, No calls on Hits to Schaubs knees, Blatent holding calls that dont get called against the OLmen against Mario, I dont remember specific games but i can remember going WTF weekly on Refs calling against us and not calling against our opponent. I was not on a conspiracy train before but after today .....its just way to damn often for my taste. Just my thoughts

Where: Dodger Stadium
TV: SportsNet LA, 7 p.m. (available on Time Warner and Bright House Networks cable providers only)
Did you know: Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig, batting .413 this month entering play Wednesday, is on pace to record the highest batting average by a Dodger in May since Jackie Robinson hit .431 in 1949.
Pirates report: Pittsburgh, after finally reaching the playoffs a year ago, seems to have reverted to is disappointing ways of years past. The starting pitching, so good in 2013, has been pretty poor in 2014. When Edinson Volquez leads your pitching staff in WHIP, you know dire straits have been reached. The Pirates have won four straight twice in May, but they're still six games under .500.
Haren has given up 10 runs in 12 innings in his last two starts, but four were unearned, keeping his ERA at a nice-looking figure. That has been the theme of this season. Haren has allowed fewer than three runs only twice in his 10 starts, and the last time was April8. Homers have been an issue of late, as Haren gave up two in his first seven starts and then four in his last three outings.
• Vs. Pirates: 3-2, 4.98
• At Dodger Stadium: 4-3, 3.11
• Loves to face: Ike Davis, 1 for 8 (.125), 1 BB, 3 Ks
• Hates to face: Andrew McCutchen, 4 for 9 (.444), 2 HR, 4 RBI
Cole, 23, an Orange Lutheran grad who starred at UCLA, is having a solid first full season in the majors. He has seven quality starts in 10 tries and struck out 60 in 642/3 innings. His walks have gone up a bit this year compared to his midseason debut in 2013, but he has still displayed impressive control for a young power pitcher. This will be his third major league start in California, as he had outings at Angel Stadium and Petco Park last year.
• Vs. Dodgers: 1-0, 4.76
• At Dodger Stadium: First game
• Loves to face: Tim Federowicz, 0 for 2
• Hates to face: Yasiel Puig, 3 for 3
Friday: Pirates LHP Francisco Lirano (0-5, 5.06) vs. Dodgers RHP Josh Beckett (3-1, 2.43), 7 p.m.
Saturday: Pirates RHP Brandon Cumpton (0-1, 3.38) vs. Dodgers LHP Hyun-jin Ryu (5-2, 3.10), 4 p.m.
Sunday: Pirates RHP Edinson Volquez (2-4, 4.30) vs. Dodgers RHP Zack Greinke (8-1, 2.18), 5 p.m.

The famous Egyptian superstar Tamer Hosni is getting ready to release the second part of his latest album "Al Janah Fe Byoutina" (Heaven in Our Homes).
The second part includes 14 different songs that touch on various social subjects.
"Since I am a role model for many young people, I wanted to add more meaningful subjects to my music," said Tamer, adding that he wants to include religious information and guidance regarding good behavior to his music.
On the other hand, Tamer denied holding charity concerts to generate publicity for himself, asserting that all proceeds from the concerts went to those in need.

Blair New Mennonite Church (Blair, Ontario, Canada)
Minister John McNally (1822-1913) and others built the more permanent church in 1872. John McNally had been ordained by Daniel Hoch in 1852 and was a prominent New Mennonite minister. The Blair location slowly lost members, who with the advent of better transportation, went to other New Mennonite churches. The Ontario Mennonite Brethren in Christ sold the building in 1921 to the Blair Union Sunday School. In 1967 the property was sold to a Church of Christ congregation and the Blair Union Sunday School closed its doors. A Hindu group used the building in 2012.
Steiner, Samuel. "Text for Missionary Church Tour." Unpublished manuscript (12 June 2010): 1.
Additional Information
Original Article from Mennonite EncyclopediaVol. 2, p. 627 by Joseph C. Fretz
Hagey-Blair was a community in Waterloo Township, seven miles southeast of Kitchener, Ontario, which had some followers of the Canada West-Ohio movement designed for unification, evangelization, and education. Daniel Hoch took the leading part in forming in 1855 a "Conference Council of the United Mennonite Community of Canada West & Ontario." Hoch is said to have been related to the Kinzies of the Hagey congregation, who agreed with him. Daniel Hege of Illinois, secretary in 1862 of the General Conference, wrote an explanatory letter from Blair while resting at the home of S. B. Baumann, when Hege and Ephraim Hunsberger of Wadsworth, Ohio, were touring eleven churches of Canada West, and calling on numbers of persons. Canadian funds gathered for the Wadsworth School were heaviest in the Waterloo area. No organized church can be named for this community. Meetings were held in the Carlisle School at Blair.

Short Stuff
The Aurora Picture Show's Extremely Shorts 6 isn't a snooty film festival. "It's open to anyone with a camera," says Andrea Grover, Aurora's executive director. "It's definitely our most do-it-yourself program. We've got people who've never picked up a camera before, students, little kids, seasoned filmmakers." One of the most low-budget shorts in the history of the festival was shot by a kid who worked at a movie theater near Times Square. "He walked into a Sony store on his lunch hour," says Grover, "with a mini DVD tape and shot the whole video with the camera on display in the store His only investment was his time and the cost of the videotape." Another well-remembered entry was submitted by a woman from Columbus, Ohio, who stood in front of a New York gallery reading Valerie Solanas's Scum Manifesto and drinking. She got so drunk she eventually threw up on the gallery window.This year's festival will be juried by Matt McCormick, a Portland-based filmmaker who's been making experimental shorts for a decade. "I'm gonna go into it with a real open mind and just see which things that I'm the most affected by," says McCormick. "I think something that's only three minutes long -- that can be about anything. So I'm expecting a wide range of styles and ideas." Shorts three minutes and under come in from around the world; typically, about 20 are chosen. Send entries by May 15 to Aurora Picture Show, 800 Aurora Street, Houston, Texas 77009. For information or an entry form, call 713-868-2101 or visit www.aurorapictureshow.org. -- Cathy Matusow
Party on the Plaza
Easter takes over the whole city of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. In 1997, Houston independent filmmakers Patricia Lacy Collins and Robert S. Cozens went south of the border to capture the ritual. The result is an award-winning documentary called Darkness into Light: Semana Santa, San Miguel. The two-week festival is a series of pageants, parties and prayer; throughout the celebration, elaborate floats and statues of saints are paraded through the town plaza. The event's more dramatic moments include crucifixion re-enactments and a cathartic ceremony called "Firing of the Judases," in which citizens explode papier-mâché statues of their enemies. 4 p.m. Sunday, April 20, on Channel 8, Houston PBS. -- Troy Schulze

Trash Is Money
Don't set that green bin of recyclables out at the curbside just yet -- you could make a lovely sculpture with it. No, this isn't some bad segment on Home and Garden Television; it's the Houston Earth Day Trash to Treasure art contest. To sway the mercenaries, there are cash prizes in each age division ($150 for first place, $100 for second and $50 for third). All elements must be recyclable, and the final product can't weigh more than 25 pounds -- so forget about using that Dodge Dart rusting in the backyard. Works must be dropped off at the Rice University environmental services building (entrance no. 15 at Rice Boulevard) by Friday, April 18. The Houston Earth Day festival runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, April 19. West Stadium Lot, Rice University (entrance no. 8 at Stockton).

Visual Soundtrack
Herb Alpert jams at Mirabeau
Herb Alpert may be best known for his contributions to music, but he's been painting since 1969, shortly after the peak of his musical career. A&M, the record label Alpert started out of his own garage, was thriving, but the "Ameriachi" style Alpert conceived with the Tijuana Brass band had already grown kitsch. Over the years, he continued to break the Top 40, but he was also emerging as an abstract painter. Alpert's artwork has a jazz-related, improvised feel and a colorful explosiveness that seems rooted in pop music. His use of Spanish titles, such as Fandango and Tango Nuevo, coupled with flowing abstract shapes and bold brushwork, show his fascination with Latin dance. Titled "Music for Your Eyes," the exhibit should enthrall Alpert fans, who'll have to stifle the urge to hum "Spanish Flea" while browsing. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays, through July 31. Mirabeau, 3202 Argonne. For information, call 713-528-8880. Free -- Troy Schulze

Workshop: 9:45 a.m. Sunday, April 26. Fashion show: 11:45 p.m. Friday, May 2. Live, 407 Main. For information or to register, call 713-526-2780 or visit www.bibimagazine.com. $95. -- Cathy Matusow

Cobra Starship coming to Shephard's Beach Resort in Clearwater Beach
What fun is having July 4 off if it's on a Wednesday? Seriously. It's the worst possible day for a holiday, right?
Radio station 93.3 FLZ, though, is planning to make it an Independence Day to remember. This July 4, they're bringing Cobra Starship to Shephard's Beach Resort in Clearwater Beach for "Rat & Puff-A-Palooza," along with lesser popsters Outasight and Sammy Adams. Tickets, according to Shephard's, are $10, and you can get 'em right here. (You can also get tickets for $5 if you buy them in person at Shephard's on June 24 or July 1.)
For Cobra Starship, it's the latest in a series of unconventional gigs. From spinning at the Hard Rock to opening the 93.3-FLZ Jingle Ball to playing for graduating high schoolers at Busch Gardens, we're starting to wonder if they'll play another "normal" concert in Tampa Bay ever again.
Also of note: Shephard's has also booked Vanilla Ice for their Old Skool Labor Day Weekend on Sept. 2. We know it's early. We just thought you'd want to be prepared.

What Big Screen Hearthrob Likes Toys?
Anyone? Anyone?
Could it be that a certain big-screen heartthrob has been throbbing all by his lonesome? So say sources close to the wild man, who tell me that he's never been lucky in love – with either sex. That's lots of lonely knights. How does he spell relief? D-I-L-D-O. That's how. Hopefully, he won't get a splinter.

The race followed the Colorado River from Bastrop to Columbus and took racers through sections of calm flatwater, sweeping swift currents and small rapids.
The pair, founders of the West Central Florida Adventure Racers, took the lead just after the start and never looked back, completing the course in 13 hours and 52 minutes.
After paddling next to a men's tandem for the last 10 miles (and determining they were also an out-of-state team), the two boats made a "gentlemen's agreement" to sprint from the last bridge to the finish line, a distance of about 500 meters, to determine who would win the first out-of-state finishers award.
The husband and wife team jumped out to a half-boat-length lead, but with about 50 meters to go went over a huge rock and lost the lead by about 6 inches.
"There was no way I was going to lose that after 100 miles," Kip said. "So we cranked it back up, managed to surge ahead and won by about 2 feet. The people on the shore were cheering."
Next up for the Koelsches: the Trinidad Coast to Coast race in October.
Traveling triathlete
Jim Larson, a 72-year-old from Clearwater, won his age group (70-74) by seven minutes in a what was supposed to be a sprint triathlon in Williamsburg, Va., on Sept. 7.
But due to heavy rains of Tropical Storm Hanna, the triathlon had to be turned into a duathlon (2K run, 20K bike, 5K run) when the James River swelled with debris.
Larson has been competing in triathlons since the 1980s, winning the state age group title and representing Florida in national finals in 1985. He gave up the swim and bike for a while to focus on running as a National Class runner in my 50s, setting personal bests and several Florida state records, which were later broken by a young whippersnapper named Joe Burgasser, three years his junior.

Corner spot. good pizza. over priced. The clincher is that they dont care about customer service. so spend your money at the many other great slice joints in NYC.

Love this place! We order their Calzones & Rolls all the time. Amazing price for a huge and delicious calzone. Regular pizza, decent sauce but we usually just go with the calzones/rolls when we order in. Never had a problem with delivery times.

This is the best in NYC. Super friendly staff and they will go out of their way to delivery to addresses (mine, ha) that are just a little too far for delivery... The plain slice is incredible but the GRAMA pizza is a must try.

Joe's on Bleecker was the best and Stromboli was second. Joe's is gone and Stomboli seems to not care anymore. The pizza isn't as good and the service is just terrible and I work in a restaurant! I wont return.
Posted by Dan M. 6th on 2009-09-30
Wish this place's pricing wasn't structured to take advantage of the "I'm so drunk just give me a slice I don't care, whatever" crowd. But alas, it is. $2.75 for THAT plain slice? Value = 0.0.

Herbal Essences Happy Go Lather Body Wash
Herbal Essences Happy Go Lather Body Wash Reviews
Affordable and lathers pretty well!I received a 1 . 2 Fl oz bottle of the Herbal Essences Body Wash in Body Burst a few months ago, it was a sample from P&G, and I just recently tested it out and wanted to share with you my thoughts on it. This body wash is amazing, it holds the 3 main factors that I look for in a body wash, it does an excellent job in lathering with just a little bit of product, it smells amazing, and it does an ...read moreawesome job in moisturizing my skin. The scent is amazing, smells like a mixture of mango, orange, sugar cane, overall a sweet (almost like you want to eat it) scent, which lingers on your body well after you've finished showering. This particular body wash is from Herbal Essences' new line which I believe came out in July of this year, they have 2 other scents as well. For an 11 Fl. oz bottle this retails for $3.99 which is super affordable and worth every single penny! I would highly recommend it to anyone out there for any skin type, who is looking for an affordable, moisture filled, sweet scented body wash! — 3 years, 3 months agoGlitzGlamBudget | 135 reviews

Not For Me...I require body washes that hydrate and found this to be very drying, unfortunately. The scent was nice, but I think Herbal Essence shampoos and conditioners smell better. I was also surprised by how little this product lathered, given its name. Overall, I found this to be a let down. — 2 years, 2 months agoSomeGeekyGirl | 116 reviews

Works well enough for the moneyFor a body wash that can be purchased at under $5, it does clean pretty well and smells good, so I feel like the money isn't wasted, even if it is a tiny expense. If I do have one issue, it's that the scent, while very nice coming out of the bottle, makes me smell very perfume-y after washing with it. Other than that, a good value if you're on a budget. — 2 years, 9 months agoSparrowTea | 3 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text: I never knew they did this kind of thing..I am so sad to call myself human. Hello. My name is "Lost Soul" and I'm a stray mutt mix who was found by an animal control officer when I was trying to find food in somebody's garbage can. I'm starving, skinny and scared. I'm 3 years old, and my whole life was spent chained to a tree. My owner moved and just let me run free. I'm not that beautiful. I'm a black lab mix like most of the other "prisoners" at the shelter. Most people will pass me by because of my emaciated body and skin problems. I know it's time for me to go to heaven and I accept this. I just wish I could die a peaceful death with a shot. But no, I will die in the GAS CHAMBER in Johnston County, NC. I will be put in a box with many other dogs and locked in. I will be scared and start to cry. I hope none of the other dogs get mad and start to attack me which is very common in this situation. I will start to breathe in the gas and I will feel my eyes and mouth burn and I will start howling. I will take my little nose and put it to the bottom of the grate to try to catch some fresh air. This isn't working, Oh God, Please Help, I can't breathe! I'm vomiting, dizzy and starting to black out and convulse. I hear the other "lost souls" scream and some blood is splattered on me because I'm pawing to get out.. and I cut the pads on my paws off. Oh My God this hurts and I'm so scared! I'm wondering why I have to die this way?? All I ever wanted was a family to love and warm lap to sit on!! Why do convicted murderers on death row get a shot, but I have to die in a GAS CHAMBER? I wish I could die with a shot, with a vet holding me and rubbing my ear telling me everything will be okay. I would die with some dignity and not defecate or urinate on myself. I better give in to the gas and go to heaven now, for if I don't die, they will put me in the gas chamber and do it again.

Binoculars for Hunting...
Just curious if you folks use binoculars, and if you do, what kind?
I see in my Bass Pro Shops sale flyer that they have Nikon Buckmasters binoculars and Nikon Travelite V Binoculars on sale. Both look like pretty good options for a small, pocket-size set of binoculars for hunting. Anybody know much about these Nikon binoculars?
Gun control should just be about hitting your target.

I purchased 2 pair of Swarovski's a 10x42 and 10x50. I was lucky enough to find them in a second hand store but still paid dearly for them. The 10x50's recently accompanied a buddy of mine on a African Safari and then finished out his hunting season this fall with a Bighorn Sheep hunt he was lucky enough to draw a tag on. He loves them and I will probably never get them back!
I carry the 10x42's with me everywhere I go. I like clarity and bright optics. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! You won't find cheap optics around the professional hunters neck. I decided to get these after talking to an AZ F&W officer who let me take a peek through his. No eye fatigue, excellent clarity and they really work well in low light.
I broke my 10x42's and sent them in to be repaired. They upgraded the case they were in and repaired them for free. Lifetime guarantee and they stand behind them even if you are not the original owner. If you can afford it buy the best.
Well thats my opinion cause you asked for it! Good luck!

Buy the best glass you can afford!! You will be glad you did.
I had a pair of Redfield 10x50 that I used for almost 7 years. Then just over a year ago I bought a used pair of Swarovski's a 10x42, and man, what a difference. In low light and at longer distances, you can really tell which pair is better. Since most movement I see when hunting is just at dawn or dusk, these have helped me see things a whole lot better. The 10x42 might be too big for a pocket, but you can check for yourself.
Good luck and happy hunting!

Check out pro hunter/guide/writer John Barsness's article in the current (Dec, I think) issue of RIFLE, called "Optics in the Field" iirc. Lots of good info.
My hunting buddy has the Swarovski 10x42's and Leica 8x30's. Both excellent, although his Swarovs are a few years old, and the color balance has that slight "Swarovski Yellow" cast which I've read they'e eliminated in the newest models. They're really super... I've used them for many many hours with no fatigue. Hunting buddy says if he was doing it again, he might buy the Leica 8x42 or 10x42 instead. Try both, and pick the one that feels best... if the budget allows.
I don't have that kind of budget now, and so I bought the Pentax 8x42 DCF-WP (I think that's the model #), for about $479. They are truly excellent imo, and a great value for the dollar (Barsness says the same, and says his Pentax's get used more than any other he owns). I have A-B'd them with the Swarovs over and over, and maybe the Swarovs are 5% better, for over 100% more money. Pentax also has a lifetime warranty. I don't know if they're as rugged as the Leica/Swarovs, but for a $500+ savings, I'm gonna test them! Bargain #2: Minox (another camera legend) makes a binoc (in 8x30, 8x42, and 10x42) that is almost identical to the Pentax, at about the same price. Designed in Germany, and made in Japan. I compared both, and preferred the ergonomics of the Pentax slightly, though I did like the lock-out eyecups of the Minox. I would be very happy with either one, honestly.
If I have the dough in the future, I'll seriously consider the Leica/Swarov option of course FWIW

I have a pair of the Diafun 10x30 Ziess binos. Cabela's sells them for $449.00.
Excellent bino's and priced right.
I have never had any luck with cheap binos. Probably the only product where you get what you pay for - in spades.

I've always done okay with mid-range pricing on my binoculars. I used to use 7x35s, but my Swift 10x42 is clear enough.
8X to 10X is about all I can hold halfway steadily; anything above a 40mm or so lens gets awful heavy after a few miles.
You're from BATFE? Come right in! I use all your fine products!

I use
I have used/borrowed Zeiss and Swarovski's. I like the Fujinons the best. They are the equal of any binoculars that I have tried. And they cost half as much or less.
"This started out as a documentary on gun violence in America, but the largest mass murder in our history was just committed -- without the use of a single gun! Not a single bullet fired! No bomb was set off, no missile was fired, no weapon (i.e., a device that was solely and specifically manufactured to kill humans) was used. A boxcutter! -- I can't stop thinking about this. A thousand gun control laws would not have prevented this massacre. What am I doing?"

Re: wearing heavier binocs... I started using one of the shoulder harness systems this year. Kinda like a shoulder holster/suspender rig, made of elastic or webbing which goes around each shoulder and crosses in back, and your binocs clip in front on your chest. Takes all the weight off your neck, and holds them close unless needed, so they don't smack anything when bending over. GREAT! I can wear my 8x42's all day and night without any discomfort, and even 10x50s wouldn't be too much, I think. Highly recommended.

I was wondering if there was anthing wrong with the Steiner optics I have been considering a pair, but was wondering if I should hold out for something else.

I've carried a pair of the Stiener 8x30 mil/marine for several years (~$200). They are light wt, rugged, with better optics than most similarly priced binos. good value IMO.

I also use the Pentax 8x42 DCF binos.I think they're an excellent buy for the money. Mine have held up very well.
My friend broke a pair of 10x42's and Pentax fixed them quickly and for free.

I use binocs: a $100 pair of compact, long-eye-reliefs from Cabelas. I'm a big fan of good optics, but as I hunt heavy woods in the hills of the Northeast, my use for them is simply to confirm a target before bringing my gun to bear. Given that application, I can't justify the expense of a really good pair. But were I to head west where I would need a pair to glass for hours at a time, I'd certainly buy a top end set of glass.

For hunting I'm a big fan 50mm objectives, 7x magnification, and as much field-of-view as I can get. There's a lot going on before/after sunrise/sunset that I want to see. Small lenses, 10x magnification, and a claustrophobic FOV are for bird watching in good light.... IMHO. -- Kernel

About the Book
On October 4, 2008, tens of thousands of people in Providence, Rhode Island, participated in a unique memorial to the victims of slavery. Co-created by The Museum On Site and Barnaby Evans, "A Thousand Ships: A Ritual of Remembrance Marking the Bicentennial of the Abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade" took place at WaterFire, an art installation that lights bonfires on the rivers in downtown Providence — the same rivers on which ships engaged in the slave trade, more than two centuries earlier.
This book presents images and documentation from A Thousand Ships, as well as reflections from participants and spectators.
**Any proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to fund free public experiences created by The Museum On Site, which help people understand their worlds.**

About the Creator
The Museum On Site is dedicated to helping people understand their worlds through site-specific, free public experiences that share ideas and information in accessible and stimulating ways. Founded by Andrew Losowsky and Lyra Monteiro in 2008, The Museum On Site brings the techniques and approaches of museums — as well as theater, advertising, and other experience-based media — to places where people already are, including festivals, city streets, shopping malls and public transit. Our projects, which have so far addressed the history and legacy of Rhode Island's transatlantic slave trade, and the past and present of a busy street in downtown Providence, encourage deeper emotional engagement with issues of local importance, through the use of performance, participatory ritual, and web-based information exchange. We are currently based in New York City, but are interested in collaborations and consulting opportunities throughout the United States and Internationally.

Functional Technologies Announces New Wine Yeast Strains, Features to Complement Portfolio
Functional Technologies Corp is pleased to announce today recent developments and initiatives to support growing customer enthusiasm and demand for the Company's proprietary hydrogen sulphide (H2S)-preventing wine yeasts. This includes the availability of new proprietary wine yeast strains that offer low levels of both H2S and sulphur dioxide (SO2), as well as technical and marketing programs with several leading non-profit institutions and/or alliances associated with the wine industry to further expand the Company's product offerings as well as enhance the support and adoption of its wine yeasts.
The Company's wine yeasts have gained substantial interest and demand in the U.S., Europe and South America since their commercial introduction two years ago, including a 240% increase in the number of commercial wineries purchasing these yeasts for trials. The Company's wine yeasts are marketed by its wholly owned subsidiaries Phyterra Yeast Inc. and Phyterra Europe GmbH (collectively "Phyterra"), with distribution in the U.S. facilitated by an exclusive partnership with the Beverage Supply Group ("BSG"). In Europe, Phyterra's wine yeasts are offered through various country-specific distributors, reflecting the segmented wine industry there.
Complementing the offerings of Phyterra's most popular strains, based on customer interest and requests, the Company has expanded its product portfolio with new innovations, primarily classically bred wine yeast strains that not only feature the low H2S attribute, but also low levels of total SO2. Under certain conditions, excessive levels of SO2, which can form also as a byproduct of wine fermentation, can cause sensory faults. These next generation wine yeasts are expected to be available for the 2012 fall wine production season.
"We are pleased to be able to build on the positive customer feedback that we and our distributors have received on our proprietary H2S-preventing wine yeasts, by offering an expanded portfolio of wine yeast products enabling winemakers to select their preference of low H2S or both low H2S and low SO2 wine yeasts that are best suited to their winemaking practices," said Howard Louie, Chief Business Development Officer of Functional Technologies. "These and other industry-supported strategies are expected to not only enhance customer benefits and satisfaction, and drive adoption of our innovative next generation wine yeasts, but also elevate the value of our yeast platforms."
Supporting the initiatives to expand the Company's platform and product portfolio of innovative wine yeasts, technical and marketing programs have been launched, or are in discussions to begin, with several leading academic institutions and/or industry groups associated with the wine sector in the U.S. and Europe. This includes the University of California at Davis ("UC Davis"), a leading viticulture and enology institution that is also home to the Robert Mondavi Institute ("RMI") for Wine and Food Science. A collaboration agreement with UC Davis has commenced to complement the Company's internal strain development and breeding programs, and is expected to enable more efficient and rapid expansion of Phyterra's portfolio of wine yeasts, resulting in a broad selection of wine yeast strains. In addition, the collaboration includes technical initiatives to optimize the quality and customer support of the Company's expanded portfolio, and as well, provide valuable access to UC Davis' renowned expertise.
"I am pleased at the widespread interest in these strains and in the low H2S technology that we have developed. One goal of our strategy was to be able to breed this capability into varying genetic backgrounds to provide an array of options for the wine industry," commented Dr. Linda Bisson, Professor at UC Davis' Viticulture and Enology Department.
From marketing perspectives, additional strategies including branding initiatives supported by industry validation of the benefits offered by Phyterra's wine yeasts, as well as both volume and premium pricing structures, are in various stages of implementation, with the support of BSG and its vast industry network and alliances.
"The innovative and beneficial qualities associated with Functional Technologies' H2S-preventing wine yeasts make a great fit for Beverage Supply Group's mandate to offer novel and technically superior products that improve our customer's processes, as evidenced by the interest, positive customer feedback and sales generated by these yeasts in the U.S. in the first two introductory commercial seasons," said Dr. Ian Ward, President of BSG. "We look forward to continuing our work with Functional Technologies in offering greater product selection, support and value to our existing and new customers with the Company's expanded portfolio of yeast strains."
About Hydrogen-Sulphide (H2S) and Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
H2S is a gaseous byproduct naturally emitted during wine fermentation, and is associated with a distinct rotten-egg odour. A well-recognized and widespread industry problem, H2S is also implicated in the formation of other undesirable sulphur-containing compounds that can cause sensory faults and reduce the quality of the wine product. Even very low levels of H2S are indicated to mask desirable sensory attributes sought by winemakers. The Company's H2S-preventing wine yeasts feature a proprietary attribute of preventing the formation of H2S in the fermentation phase, and represent a robust preventative solution requiring minimal or no changes to existing production processes.
Although SO2 is commonly used as an additive in winemaking practices as both an antimicrobial and protective, antioxidant agent, it can also form as a natural byproduct of yeast during fermentation. Under certain conditions and instances, excessive levels of SO2 can impede normal fermentation processes or lead to sensory faults. The new classically bred wine yeasts offering the dual features of low H2S and low SO2 have been cultivated by Phyterra's scientists and technical team to provide winemakers with added options and benefits, based on customer demand.

Very interesting info! I figured as much for the Star Sisters. I always said it was about 50/50 love vs hate for them. 40/40 with 20 indifferent is pretty close. Once the 20% have them in hand, I'm sure their opinion will no longer be indifferent...but I could be wrong!
The Best and Worst lists did surprise me. Happy to see Catra and Marlena on the Best list and am actually shocked to see Man-E-Faces take the #1 BEST spot! He's a good figure and everything, I'm just surprised.
I'm also DEVASTATED that Icarius/Flipshot, Bubble Power She-Ra and Battleground Teela made the WORST list! BP She-Ra and Icarius are two of the best figures of the entire line, in my honest opinion. FLOORED me to see them here. BG Teela was highly anticipated by many too...shocking results for the worst list!
EDIT: Also, I think further polling on the Star Sisters would be interesting/helpful. I forgot about this when I first replied, but I've noticed that people's opinions greatly differ on the individual sisters. Some like all but one sister, so they skipped buying the set...or ONLY like one sister. So, it would be interesting to see how well liked each individual sister is. Also, (as mentioned in the description), the colouring of the MOTUC sisters was a hot button issue for a lot of people. None of this info really tells us how well liked the 80's prototype colours are. They're pretty dark (especially Tallstar's) and seem to fit in flawlessly with MOTUC's mainly darker than 80's figures paint scheme. There also was a great deal of more support for the 80's proto coloured Star Sisters vs the magazine/poster ones. I'm not saying there needs to be an official .org poll that collects this data, it's just some interesting points to note.
Right now there IS a "Who's your favourite Star Sister" poll in the poll section (based on the MOTUC figures), with Tallstar and Starla pretty close. Jewelstar only has two votes.


text: Moms and Dads never grow old in our minds By Alyce Faye Bragg January 17, 2014 Story Share It is amazing how a split second occurrence can alter a person's life. Two days before Christmas, I was looking forward to Christmas Eve and our 59th anniversary. Also, I was running through my mind the menu for Christmas Day and the various relatives that would be there.You know that satisfied feeling that comes before Christmas when the house is clean and decorated, the gifts all wrapped and ready and the holiday food ready to be prepared? Well, I hadn't quite reached that apex yet, but I was working on it. All at once I turned from the refrigerator, lost my balance and fell headlong on the tile floor.Ah -- the best laid plans of mice and men -- it was almost a comedy of errors. The ambulance got stuck in the neighbor's yard, and Criss had to pull it out with the farm tractor. The next few hours were sort of a blur, but I remember speeding toward Charleston with my ribs feeling every jolt and curve. I don't remember being in the ER, but I heard someone say, "Yes, she broke a rib, all right -- four ribs!"Of course my COPD acted up and I had some trouble with my lungs. To make a long story short, I spent 12 days in CAMC General and am recuperating at home now. What a blessing it is to have a big family -- my daughter-in-law Sarah stayed with me two days and nights, and granddaughter Miriam Abigail stayed the remainder of the time. I will have to say that I have never been treated any better in any medical facility as I was on the fifth floor. The nurses were great --compassionate and caring. I had a great doctor, too, Dr. Shane Monnett, for whom I have the greatest respect.When I got home from the Trauma Clinic today, I found this letter from my daughter Patty: "Mommy, it just feels like a few seconds, days or years ago that you were fixing my hair, fixing my breakfast and dressing me to go out. Now the roles are reversed. Today I dressed you, braided your hair, tied your shoes and buttoned your coat. I proceeded to ask all the necessary questions, do you have your tissues, your glasses, billfold and walker?"I always hated that kid's book where the Mama was rocking her child and it ended with the grown child rocking his mother. I can't escape the reality that you are now old. Moms and Dads never grow old and feeble in our minds. They are the strong, capable ones that we always go to with everything."Life doesn't always seem fair and old age is very cruel. I know it is God's plan, but when will I ever be ready for 'The Plan?' Maybe I don't tell you enough, but Mom and Dad, I love you very much and I don't know what I'd do without you. Thank you for everything you do."Patty doesn't have to tell me that she loves me. She proves it every day by her actions. She's always there when I need her, and helps me with everything that I do.---Beyond the YearsBy Paul Laurence DunbarBeyond the years the answer lies, Beyond where brood the grieving skiesAnd Night drops tears.Where Faith rod-chastened smiles to rise And doffs its fears,And carping Sorrow pines and dies --Beyond the years. Beyond the years the prayers for restShall beat no more within the breast; The darkness clears,And Morn perched on the mountain's crestHer form uprears --The day that is to come at best,Beyond the years. Beyond the years the soul shall findThat endless peace for which it pined,For light appears,And to the eyes that still were blindWith blood and tears,Their sight shall come all unconfinedBeyond the years.---Thank you, friends, for praying for me. The Lord has brought me through again. He is greatly to be praised!Contact Alyce Faye Bragg at email@example.com or write to 2556 Summers Fork Road, Ovapa, WV 25164.

THURSDAY, Dec. 16 (HealthDay News) -- Older African-Americans and Hispanics are much less likely than older whites to get vaccinated against influenza and pneumonia, according to a report by the American Lung Association, "Missed Opportunities: Influenza and Pneumonia Vaccination in Older Adults."
Katherine Pruitt, of the American Lung Association in Washington, D.C., and colleagues compiled the report to address racial and ethnic disparities among the millions of people over the age of 65 who are not vaccinated against influenza and pneumonia.
According to the report, African-Americans and Hispanics in this age group are 28 and 25 percent less likely, respectively, than whites to be vaccinated against influenza, and 37 and 47 percent less likely, respectively, to get pneumococcal vaccine. These two groups tend to be at higher risk for asthma, heart disease, and diabetes, which makes them more vulnerable to adverse complications and death from influenza and pneumonia. The report highlights possible explanations for the disparities and suggestions for overcoming them.
"This is a ticking time bomb. As baby boomers age, and the nation's elderly population rises, the toll of influenza and pneumonia will likely increase," Jim Gooden, National Volunteer Chair of the American Lung Association, said in a statement. "It's important that we address this health disparity now to prevent serious illness and save lives in the future."

Ex-policeman used CS gas to end noisy party
A retired Metropolitan police officer sprayed CS gas in the faces of three young people because they were making too much noise in a hotel room, a court heard.
When police arrested 60-year-old John Kain and searched his home after the incident they found four more canisters of CS gas and pepper spray and two illegal pistols.
Kain faced a minimum five-year jail term under the Firearms Act but, after hearing that he suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome as a result of violent incidents during his police service, a judge spared him jail.
Kain pleaded guilty to assaulting Jenny Potter, Dominic Howe and Laura Meredith at the Premier Inn in Cheltenham, Gloucester, on June 13 last year by spraying them with CS gas.
He also admitted four charges of possessing prohibited firearms des-igned to discharge noxious liquids and two charges of possessing prohibited firearms.
Prosecutor James Haskell said the youngsters had been celebrating a birthday and returned to their hotel in the early hours.
âThey had been drinking and were rather noisier than they should have been,â he said. Kain, from Exeter, knocked on their door and tried to force his way in, Gloucester Crown Court heard. Then he sprayed the CS gas in their faces.
Paul Grumbar, defending, said Kain was âa thoroughly decent man who suffered life-changing and life-wrecking incidentsâ in his time with the police, leaving him with âa low tolerance to perceived threatsâ.
Kain was sentenced to a two-year community order, two years supervision and was electronically tagged.
