Frontier Natural Products - Cinnamon Sticks Whole Certified Organic - 2 3/4" - 1 lb. (453 g)
Frontier Natural Products Organic Whole Cinnamon Sticks are 2.75 inch long non-irradiated cinnamon sticks that are freshness dated. To ensure fresh flavor that's always pure and natural, Frontier's spices are quality tested and freshness dated. Cinnamon sticks are flavorful and fun in mulled drinks and teas. (Serve each cup with its own cinnamon swirler.) Or combine them with allspice, cloves and ginger to make your own mulling spice.
Botanical name: Cinnamomum burmannii (Nees & T. Nees) Blume
Cinnamon - that most popular of spices - comes from the bark of an evergreen tree. Cinnamon's sweet, spicy and warm fragrance adds pungent sweetness to your favorite baked goodies. You can also use it to add a depth of flavor to savory dishes as well.
Though often used interchangeably, cassia and cinnamon are not the same. Cinnamomum cassia (grown primarily in China and Indonesia) is reddish-brown and pungently sweet, while Cinnamomum zeylanicum (from Sri Lanka and India) is buff-colored and mild. Cassia is usually preferred for its more intense color and flavor.
Korintje (Cinnamomum burmanii )The most commonly found cinnamon in American kitchens is Indonesian cassia. It is sourced from higher elevations and is harvested a bit earlier than Chinese and Vietnamese cinnamons. Korintje translates as "thick quill" and is judged for quality based on the part of the tree that is harvested (trunk vs. branch) and on the length of the bark peeled from the tree. Frontier brings you the highest quality Korintje cinnamon available.
To harvest cinnamon, the inside pulp of the evergreen is scraped out, then ground, and the quill pieces (cinnamon sticks) are selected for drying and grading according to size, color and quality. Trimmings and waste pieces are sold as cinnamon chips or used to distill the essential oil. The cinnamon is then graded according to quality. Grade A cinnamon has the highest oil content and the most intense flavor and aroma. In addition, quills harvested for Grade A cinnamon must be one meter long and taken from the main trunk of the tree.
Cinnamon is valued today for its carminative, antiseptic and astringent quality, and its medicinal significance is still being explored. Dr. Richard Anderson, Ph.D., lead scientist at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Beltsville, Maryland, for example, found that compounds in cinnamon improve the body's ability to use insulin to improve blood glucose levels. These findings are promising, especially for diabetics.
The history of cinnamon is laced with legend, exotic trade routes and struggles for monopoly. The ancient Chinese believed that the cassia tree--which flourished in the Garden of Paradise on the Yellow River--was the "Tree of Life." Eating its fruit, they said, led to immortality. Ancient Egyptians used cinnamon for medicinal purposes and embalming, and the ancient Romans enjoyed it in wines and as a fragrance, beauty-salve and aphrodisiac. When Nero killed his wife, Poppaea Sabina, he had all the cinnamon in Rome (a year's supply of imports) burned in homage at her funeral.
Columbus sought this exotic spice, and in 1505 it was "discovered," in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) by the Portuguese explorer Lorenzo da Almeida. Control of the cinnamon trade meant power; in 1760, all of Holland was scented when Amsterdam's cinnamon supplies were burned in an effort to keep prices up. At the same time, the penalty for the illegal sale of a single stick of cinnamon during Dutch control was death!
Frontier's SpicesFrontier is where you'll find the best in flavorful organic spices, all natural spices and seasonings and fair trade spices. Frontier's dedication to sustainable sourcing and stringent quality standards means you get the highest quality every time.
Frontier's Natural vs. Organic Herbs and SpicesToday, Frontier offers the option of both natural and certified organic herbs and spices. What's the difference?
Taste That Makes A Difference.Frontier sources their spices from growers committed to quality, sustainability and ethical trade. Frontier strives to build partnerships and better the lives of smaller growers in developing countries with fair pricing programs.
QualityYou can trust Frontier products to be the freshest, purest and most sustainably produced. Simply put, quality effects taste and efficacy. Frontier Natural Products never produces or markets products that make empty claims or contain questionable ingredients. Once herbs and spices arrive at Frontier, every aspect of their handling is done with quality in mind.
Allergen ControlFrontier Natural Products Co-op has implemented very rigorous standards in manufacturing that prevent cross-contamination of allergens. Frontier also strictly adheres to the US Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004.
What this means is that stringent processes are in place during product handling, processing and packaging which prevent allergen contamination in products that normally do not contain the big 8 allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans), sulfites as well as sesame seeds which the Canadian food inspection agency considers an allergen. Every product that contains an individual allergen or allergen(s) as part of a product formulation has the allergen(s) identified on the label.
Frontier takes great pride in the quality of the products they produce, and allergen control is one part of their company's overall stringent food safety program.
History Frontier began as a two-person operation in 1976 in a cabin along the Cedar River in Eastern Iowa. They have grown steadily for over a quarter of a century to become a major supplier in the booming natural products industry. This outstanding performance throughout the years reflects their close harmony with both industry trends and the values of natural products consumers.
Frontier has demonstrated an aptitude for associating itself with trends that fuel success. The business was originally structured as a cooperative that supplied herbs and spices to its members, all of whom were cooperatives engaged in retailing natural foods or cooperative buying clubs. Being a co-op itself helped propel Frontier into national distribution in rapidly expanding natural foods "co-op movement."
Frontier also embraced many of the positive ideals underlying the popularity of co-ops. The early management envisioned a workplace where employees would enjoy their work, families would come first, the quality of products would be unsurpassed, organics would play a key role in the business and social responsibility would be inseparable from their actions. These values have been sustained-and have contributed significantly to Frontier's success-throughout its entire history.
Initially Frontier acted as a wholesaler, repackaging several hundred varieties of herbs and spices into smaller one- and two-pound bags. Customers then resold these products in bulk to their retail customers, typically at a substantial discount to equivalent consumer-packaged products available in traditional supermarkets. In an effort to meet as many customer requests as possible, Frontier expanded its selection to include many uncommon herbs and spices, building both its supplier contacts and its reputation as a comprehensive source of botanical products.
In 1978 Frontier bought and converted a grocery store building in Fairfax, Iowa, into a 5,200 square foot operations facility.
Subsequent growth resulted in Frontier purchasing a ten-acre parcel of Iowa farmland in 1982 near Norway, Iowa, and constructing a 21,000 square foot facility. Plant expansions in 1984, 1988 and 1993 have increased the facility size to over 85,000 square feet. Frontier now owns an additional 50 acres of land adjacent to the main facility, 22 acres of which is maintained as tallgrass prairie.
During 1988 Frontier introduced a line of packaged spices. This was followed in 1991 with the introduction of a line of gourmet, 100% certified organic whole bean coffees. Subsequent introductions included a line of herbal extracts and the first certified organic beer in the United States.
Not all of these product lines were sustained successes, but all provided greater name recognition and expanded opportunities. The Frontier brand packaged-spice line developed into a significant sales contributor and laid important groundwork for the later establishment of the Simply Organic brand. Another Frontier brand, Frontier Coffee, was a part of the company for ten years. In addition to providing consumers with the highest quality organic coffee, Frontier Coffee funded a wide range of social programs in the poor coffee growing communities. Business loans, a power plant to produce electricity, computer equipment for schools, and a bridge were among the projects. In June of 2001, the coffee business was sold to Green Mountain Coffee.
The most sustained and dramatic success with product expansion has been in the area of aromatherapy. Early in its history, Frontier accommodated its customers by buying bulk quantities of essential oils and rebottling them into one-half ounce glass bottles. This line grew steadily as the concept and practice of aromatherapy became increasingly popular. Frontier responded to this accelerating trend, capitalizing on its early success and bolstering its product line with the 1993 acquisition of Aura Cacia, a leading aromatherapy and natural personal care products company. Aura Cacia products include a full line of aromatherapy items such as essential oils, massage and body oils, mineral baths, and lotions. Frontier has grown the line into the clear aromatherapy market leader in natural health outlets nationwide, adding many innovative new products. A popular line of certified organic products, Aura Cacia Organics, has also been created.
The Simply Organic brand, established in 2001, quickly established the kind of leadership in packaged seasonings as Aura Cacia has in aromatherapy. The line of organic products built on a base of certified organic spices and spice blends with creative seasoning mixes for items like sauces, mixes, and chili-quickly followed by best-selling dip and dressing mixes. Fueled by the exceptional popularity of the new products, Simply Organic became the fastest growing brand in natural seasonings and the leading brand of the explosively growing category of organic seasonings.
Beyond the fact that Frontier has listened attentively to its customers and responded wisely to trends and changes in the natural products industry, they have the advantage of sharing some basic values with the people buying its products.
Early decisions to invest in the equipment and personnel to create a top-notch Quality Assurance laboratory moved Frontier into the position of being the quality leader as well as the sales leader in bulk products and aromatherapy. Frontier's carefully cultivated contacts and well-deserved reputation for quality give them a unique advantage in meeting the growing demand for high-quality products.
And their advantage is even greater in regards to organic products. Frontier led the industry in recognizing the value of organic agriculture and promoting organically grown products. The market for organics continues to grow, and Frontier is the established leader in organic selection and quality.
The recently implemented standards of the National Organic Program created no problems for them, as their own internal organic standards already exceeded those required by the program. Frontier's longstanding leadership in promoting organic agriculture around the world provides them with contacts, visibility and respect that are valuable assets.
Frontier was also a trendsetter in employee relations, building a loyal, efficient workforce from the beginning with sincere communication and respect for employees at all levels of the organization. Innovative programs such as subsidized on-site childcare and meal programs, established over two decades ago, led to national recognition for workplace accomplishments at the same time Frontier was cited as one of the country's fastest-growing companies.
The adherence to the company's ideals regarding customer service, product quality, social and environmental responsibility and employee relations are intrinsic elements in Frontier's impressive success over the years.
Once herbs and spices arrive at Frontier, every aspect of their handling is done with quality in mind:
Here are some of the other measures Frontier takes to provide you with the best natural products available:
Social ResponsibilityFrontier has a tradition of social responsibility in both their own policies and their support of other organizations. They have established an employee-friendly workplace, respected the environment and the grower communities in their operational decisions, and championed organics and sustainable agriculture throughout the world.
Frontier is a proud member of Co-op America, which works with consumers, investors, business owners and workers to promote socially and environmentally responsible change. These programs include support for green business, fair trade and fair labor practices, conservation and responsible investment.
Frontier comprehensively tracks and assesses their sustainability as a business on an ongoing basis. They share this information publicly by issuing a complete sustainability report every two years that details their performance in all aspects of sustainability: sourcing, products, operations, employer and community, compares their metrics to previous and planned ones, and lays out specific goals for future improvements. An interim update is issued in each year between full reports.
With Well Earth We Can Do it TogetherThe Well Earth program supports suppliers committed to excelling in five critical areas:
Through this program Frontier ensures the products they offer are the highest quality, and in return they invest in their grower/suppliers and their communities.
Cinnamon is the world's most popular baking spice. You'll recognize its familiar taste and aroma in cakes, breads, cookies, breads and pies, dumplings, puddings, pastries and ice cream. It's common in savory dishes, too--soups, chutneys, catsup, pickles, squash, vinegars and meat glazes--and hot drinks like cider, coffee, tea and cocoa.
Cinnamon complements fruits like apricots, cherries, apples, blueberries and oranges. Vegetables, too--especially carrots, spinach and onions--are enhanced by cinnamon's pungent sweetness.
In combination with other spices (like cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, allspice, and black pepper), cinnamon shows up in a wide array of spice blends, including pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, cider blends, five spice powder, curries, pickling spice, even popcorn seasoning!

Detroit Police are praising the Good Samaritan who just may have helped save a young girl's life."We are seeing more and more of our citizens, not just in Detroit but in the Detroit metropolitan area, step up and actually take some action and protect the people around them," says Sgt. Michael Woody from the Detroit Police Department. Police say Tuesday around 8 p.m. the 15 year old was walking along Philip Street on Detroit's east side looking for her cell phone when she was approached by a man."During the conversation, at some point, he strikes her in the head, puts her in the vehicle, begins driving with her. During the drive he's making some sexually explicit comments to her, grabbing himself," says Woody. The girl was able to jump out of the vehicle near Commor and Dyar streets in Hamtramck and started screaming for help. Someone who lived nearby called 911. "Hamtramck police responded and were able to get enough information from the young girl to actually get the suspect into custody fairly quickly," says Woody. Sources identified the suspect as 45-year-old Anthony William Fortson, a Hamtramck resident who's been in trouble with the law before. Records show Fortson is currently out on parole. He's been in and out of jail since the late 90s, arrested for felony assault with a deadly weapon and, years later, for home invasion, larceny and possession of a controlled substance. Police say Fortson was arrested at his house and that he did not chase the 15 year old when she escaped. During a police interview on Wednesday the victim told police she was allowed to sit in the front seat, and her hands and legs were not tied up. Detroit police say aside from getting struck in the head the victim experienced no other assault, and Fortson will likely face charges for the kidnapping and the attempted sexual assault.

Have you ever heard of a 10-year-old boy having a valid driver's license? Or a 20-year-old woman having a driver's license and had never driven a car, or even sat under the steering wheel of a car.? In fact she had the driver's license for almost three years before she started taking driving lessons.
Both are true and many more such stories. Back in the 30s and the 40s, wives did not often drive the family car, and many did not even know how to drive. And so in the early 40s the State of Louisiana passed a law that every driver must buy a driver's license and keep it upon their person when operating a motor vehicle. And therein is the story.Subscribe to Read!

Set-in Sleeve Calculator
Although raglan and yoke constructions (and even Elizabeth Zimmermann's set-in model) are seamless, I regrettfully find them ill-fitting on my body. Like it or not, traditional set-in sleeves just fit me better. However, calculating the armhole and sleeve cap shape is time consuming and rather unwieldy for patterns with multiple sizes. This winter, I designed several garments for publication with set-in sleeves. I created an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the armscye measurement, the perimeter of the armhole. Still, the spreadsheet required tinkering here and there and was not a very good solution. When I explained my frustration to Aaron, he decided there had to be a better way. Using Jenna Wilson's (girl from auntie) impeccably thorough armscye tutorial in Knitty as a guide, he wrote a web application that would take in the necessary information regarding gauge and armhole shaping to produce meaningful information about sleeve cap shaping.
The application can be found for free here.
It may seem complicated at first, but I think his Help! pop-ups explain the inputs pretty well. Here are some sample inputs, taken from the lace pullover shown above.
By leaving the final output as the number of decreases and the number of rows remaining before the cap bind-off(s), the calculator provides the designer with enough freedom to play around with the curve of the sleeve by varying the rate of decreases.
I relied heavily upon Aaron's calculator for this simple lace pullover. Although the body largely came to life during a fit of insomnia, the sleeves dragged on interminably in part because I ran out of yarn and needed to alternate between multiple skeins to hide the variation between dyelots. The yarn is yet more stash leftover from my Ivy League Vest, which called for far more yarn than was actually needed.
Pattern: The vine lace stitch pattern is an easy 4-row repeat from Barbara Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns; the sleeve calculations came from Aaron's armscye calculator
Yarn: Harrisville Designs New England Shetland
Needles: US 8 (5.0 mm)
Since this was another stashbusting project, I'd say it was almost free! One thing is for sure: because I used a light sport weight (fingering, really) yarn on US 8 needles, the project required minimal yardage – only 570 yds for a finished bust of 36″ with 3/4-length sleeves!
This is the fifth garment I've knit using the calculator and every single sleeve cap has fit into its corresponding armhole flawlessly. Here are a few examples of the other garments:
I hope others will find the calculator equally useful.
Perhaps it's time to give set-in sleeves another go?

wow, elinor, that's really awesome! thank you so much to you and aaron for providing that calculator for us. i love your new sweater!
Seriously? I'm in awe. I think sleeves (and the tops of sweaters in general) are the reason I've never tried any serious designing – just hats and socks here and there.
Way to go!
Amazing! I use Maggie Righetti's formula for setting in sleeves with short row shaping directly from the armscye. But they don't fit as perfectly as yours. Way to go Elinor and Aaron (and Jenna, who I've always admired).
Wow. That is just beautiful! Thanks for the work on the sleeve calculator. I also find that set in sleeves fit me better than anything else.
very pretty Elinor! I want to make something like that :)
A knitter/husband team can come up with some pretty awesome things! Thank you both!
The sweater is beautiful! It also looks like it would be very comfortable to wear.
De-lurking to say thanks for the app! Also, your top looks great. That's one of my favorite lace motifs. :)
That is a beautiful sweater on you! Wow! Wow also for the application! What a guy to program this for all of us to use. Thank you!
that calculator blew my mind. awesome.
the sweater is gorgeous, too!
Thank you so much for sharing that sleeve calculator. I'm so excited to give it a try.
It's very generous of you!
Which is more lovely – you or the sweater?! :) Thanks for the calculator!
That is such a brilliant idea! I'll have to try out the program the next time I'm knitting set-in sleeves. The sweater looks gorgeous on you :).
Dude, thank you (and Aaron!) for sharing that app! So awesome! Also seriously, seriously love the sweater. It looks so lovely on you.
Thank you for sharing this application with us and for free, no less! So kind! I look forward to using it on my next "set in" project.
This is beautiful! I hope you share the pattern with us…and I want to try your calculator too.
Wow! This may just be the most beautiful sweater I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing the link to the calculator.
Elinor, I am obsessed with this sweater. You did such a beautiful job!
Oooooh! This is lovely!
And I can NOT tell you how much I am in love with this calculator. It has ALREADY just fixed a problem I was having with recalculating the inset sleeves on my next project – which I always have to do to get a decent fit. Hooray! and thanks.
wow – very cool!
thank you (and aaron!) for your hard work, and for sharing it!
This is the answer to my prayers. Set-in-sleeves are the most flattering for me as well, but I really struggle with the calculations. I can't wait to use it!!!
Beautiful sweater and thanks for the calculator. I'm going to give it a try.
HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY!!!! I'm SO glad that I won't have to calculate all that stuff in my head anymore! Thanks SO much!
Btw, that lace top you finished knitting is stunning. Thanks for the great idea. I've got some sock yarn that's been languishing in my stash for far too long, and now I know exactly what I'm going to do with it!
Awesome! Lovely insomnia knitting ;)
This is soooo pretty! Thank you for sharing your tips and advice. I love it!
Wow that is truly a beautiful sweater! So feminine too. Thanks for the calculator. I like set-in sleeves and this is always a chore for me as many patterns accommodate average sized arms while mine are "healthy sized" ones :)
wow! this is such a great idea for a web app! thank you to your lovely husband :)
The lace sweater is gorgeous & looks so good on you. It's so amazing that a simple lace stitch can turn out such a gorgeous garment!
[...] don't think we're ready for the Knitputer yet, do you? Unless it's like this way to calculate set-in sleeves, that [...]
I love your lace sweater. It looks amazing. I like your blog and have read it for a while now…decided to say hello and again, fantastic job on the sweater.
First time commenter…thank you and Aaron for putting together an armscye calculator. I really do prefer set-in sleeves and will likely take a class to wrap my head around the concept, shaping and numbers just to know what I'm trying to do. I'm bookmarking this calculator right now and appreciate your hard work!
LOVE the sweater! it looks beautiful on you!thanks for the calculator too…think i'm going to take a break from my own stash knitting to try something like this : )
Oh, thanks for the application. Maybe I will give set-in sleeves a go.
Oh I like this, very much!
Oh my gosh! I've spent hours here in Colorado looking at pictures of B, hours being impressed with all you've knit and solved, and a husband who can solve knitting problems. I love it all. I better get the knitting group on my calendar again…..I need your inspiration. Totally impressed!!
I've been back here a few times, to read, then bookmark, and now finally to understand, and I can't believe I haven't left a comment yet. I'm attempting to wrap my brain around my first design w/ set-in sleeves. Many, many thanks to your husband for all his work and to you both for testing and sharing this – it's invaluable, and incredibly generous. An awesome tool. THANK YOU!!!
Your husband is a god. Come to think of it you are a goddess for sharing, and such a pretty sweater.
Howdy! I could have sworn I've been to this site before but after checking through some of the post I realized it's new
to me. Anyways, I'm definitely glad I found it and I'll be
book-marking and checking back often!

During last month's St. Jude softball tournament, many people around the ball park were in agreement that it was time for Minden to form its own league. It looks like those hopes have been heard.
Now, the speculation is that Minden could have an adult league as soon as March. That's something that Minden resident, Eric Savage, would be pleased to see.

The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine helps protect against severe infections due to a group of bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. Infections can occur:
Vaccine - pneumovax; Vaccine - PPSV23; Immunization - pneumovax
After you get this vaccine, your body's immune system learns to attack the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria if you come in contact with it. This makes you less likely to get sick from an infection due to this bacteria.
No vaccine is 100% effective. So, it is still possible to get an infection from Streptococcus pneumoniae, even after you have been vaccinated.
The vaccine is recommended for:
You need at least one shot of the vaccine. One dose works for most people. You may need a second dose again 5 years later if:
The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is not used to protect against pneumococcal diseases in children under age 2. A different vaccine, the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
is routinely given to younger children to protect against disease due to Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Most people have no or only minor side effects from the pneumococcal vaccine. You may have some pain and redness at the place where you get the shot. Serious problems are rare and are mainly due to allergic reactions to a part of the vaccine.
The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is an inactivated-bacteria vaccine. You cannot get an infection from receiving this vaccine.
Call your health care provider if moderate or serious side effects appear after the pneumococcal vaccine has been given. Also call if you have any questions or concerns about the vaccine.
Talk to your health care provider before receiving the pneumococcal vaccine if you have a fever or an illness that is more serious than a cold, or if there is a chance you might be pregnant.
Call your health care provider if you are not sure whether you or your child should get or delay the pneumococcal vaccine.

Deposit paper checks via iPhone
Could smart phones make bank tellers obsolete?
Is there anything an iPhone can't do, except perhaps scrub the toilet (near the toilet bowl is not where you want your phone to be) or take out the trash?
And now, we have to wonder, could smart phones make bank tellers obsolete? (You've seen tellers from time to time, haven't you? Always helpful and smiling despite standing all day long for horrible wages.)
A privately owned bank that has one brick-and-mortar branch but serves mostly U.S. military members around the world has debuted a new feature of its iPhone app that allows customers to deposit paper checks electronically.
You photograph both sides of the check "and once you hit the send button, that image is going into our deposit-taking system as any other check would," Wayne Peacock, a USAA executive vice president, told The New York Times. At that point, you can void the check and shred it.
Many have heralded this advance. Chris Ziegler of engadget wrote, "The problem with banks, you see, is that they're one of the few remaining weak links in our ultimate goal of eliminating all human interaction. ... Fortunately, USAA ... is helping to close that loop with its Deposit@Mobile service."
It makes sense. Smart phones are already serving as personal shopping assistants, so why not take the place of bank tellers too?
Truth is, somehow that seems a bit sad (which probably makes us a dinosaur). We enjoy visits to our local bank after, for instance, people pay for our pet-sitting service with a paper check. It's like visiting Cheers, without the beer tap.
But having real people at our beck and call is costly to banks.
For instance, Nick Holland, a senior analyst with Aite Group, told the NYT, "If banks can get people to stop calling call centers for mundane inquiries and instead send a text message, that saves a bank about $14 for every one of those inquiries."
Is e-deposit of paper checks safe? We figure more people would be using mobile banking if it weren't for security concerns, well-founded or not, and Adriana Lee wonders at PhoneDog about possible pitfalls. USAA, which is also an insurance company, has been an e-banking leader, permitting customers to deposit scanned paper checks from home for three years. To hedge against fraud, the check-deposit service -- which will be extended to other phones -- is limited to those who are both USAA banking and insurance customers.
"We'll see how this goes," said John Brownlee at Geek.com. "It'll either be a lesson in massive fraud or one bold step
toward the 21st century we were all promised."

StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm At Least 18 Months Away?The Zerg-centric second instalment of the StarCraft II trilogy should be expected in eighteen months at soonest, it seems Battle.net project director Greg Canessa let slip during a talk at GDC Online in Austin yesterday, attended by GameSpot.
Speaking about future plans for Blizzard's Battle.net online service, Canessa described features such as replay trading, broadcasting replays and upgrading profiles as "a main area of focus we're going to be seeing on the Starcraft [II] side over the next 18 months between now and Heart of the Swarm." No sooner than roughly April 2012, then.
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm will follow on from StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty with a Zerg singleplayer campaign featuring RPG elements. The Protoss instalment, 'Legacy of the Void,' will follow after that, boasting elements of diplomacy.
Blizzard has yet to reveal a release schedule for the Sc2 trilogy's episodes and stressed to GameSpot that there's no announced release window for Heart of the Swarm.
Speaking in October 2008 about the three chapters of StarCraft II, Blizzard VP Rob Pardo said "With any luck, it would be like a year for each successive one, but that's going to be a target date, that's not a promise."
Lead producer Chris Sigaty said back then that "With Warcraft III, we hit a year for the expansion. We'd love to hit that [for "Starcraft II"], but honestly, with how story mode goes and with the pre-rendered and in-game cinematics, I don't know how long it's going to take... We want to hit the shortest amount of time possible."
Meanwhile, updates for SC2: Wings of Libery continue to roll out. Only yesterday, Blizzard revealed plans for future multiplayer balance tweaks aimed at helping the Zerg.

DETROIT (WJBK) -- Cass Tech quarterback Jayru Campbell could face assault and battery charges after he allegedly body slammed a security guard on Wednesday, a Detroit Public Schools official said.Detroit Public Schools Assistant Superintendent Steve Wasko said Thursday Campbell was arrested by the Detroit Public Schools Police Department and was being held at a detention center.
Maria Miller, a spokeswoman for the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, says they have received information on the matter, but would not comment further.
Video posted online (see above) claims to show Campbell body slamming the security guard as a crowd looks on.App users: See the original video here
Another video was sent to FOX 2 showing the moments before the alleged body slam happened. In that video (also above), you can see the security guard and Campbell facing each other. Then, Campbell appears to shove the security guard first and when the guard approaches him the two square off.Campbell, a junior, led Cass Tech to back-to-back Division 1 state championship in football in 2011 and 2012. He is a verbal commitment in Michigan State's 2015 recruiting class. Rivals.com lists Campbell as a four-star recruit.Officials at Michigan State would not offer comment, citing NCAA rules prohibiting institutions from commenting on specific prospects until a National Letter of Intent has been signed."Jayru's one of the hardest working kids I know. And he's smart," said teammate Jamaal Brown. "I think the whole situation was self defense. When somebody puts their hands on you, you got a right to defend yourself."

My grandchildren, I told you we moved from inner city Houston to the country, to help your great grandfather after his heart attack. However, I did not tell you what the farm was like back then. As I tell the stories, I will call your granddadE the Hero, because he was my white knight, my hero.
When we moved to the country, our home and surroundings were primitive. There weren't any paved roads. Our driveway and the road were made of iron ore. The structure we resided in was temporary in nature. The walls were made of pressed board, the roof of rolled asphalt paper, the floors of pressed board also. The Hero had grown up in a household that had the 'you hire someone to do your work' attitude. Our move was a learning curve. When we moved out there, I suggested that he buy cowboy boots for working in the fields, etc. "Oh no" says he, "I like my loafers and tennis shoes." "Okay", I said.
That 14" rain filled Lake Conroe, which is near us, to over flowing of the dam. Prior to that, they had predicted another 5 years to fill it to capacity. The roads were turned to mush. The Hero arrived home after and arduous trip from Houston in the down pour. The roads were so soft, he parked out on the road to walk across the field to the house. Oops. There went his shoes in the first few steps. He stepped down in the field and his shoes sunk. He pulled them up out of the mud and walked to the house barefooted carrying his shoes (not a short distance). When he arrived, he was wet, miserable and disgusted, but soon laughed at his situation with me. The next day he went to town, and bought his first pair of cowboy boots. He loved them. Of course, he had to buy the hat too to protect his "hair" from the sun...
And that my grandchildren, is how your granddadE 'stepped' from being a city slicker into being a cowboy. It just took Texas black gumbo and an act of God. ; )

Rating: 4.00 out of 2 votes cast
Very pretty
I got this in the multi. The print is more beautiful in person than in the catalog. One thing to note is that although the background on the dress in the catalog looks white, it was actually beige. The fit is very nice. The shrug doesn't really fit well but I have others that I can wear with it.
beautiful dress and great value
I ordered this dress in the peach. The dress fit like my usual size, but the bolero is small, and I have trouble keeping it from going to the sides. I might just wear the dress with another shrug because it was a great price and very feminine and spring-like. I also ordered the strappy crisscross sandals in the coral color and they are a perfect match

Dr. Conrad Murray Says Jail Is Affecting His Health
Thursday, October 11, 2012
TMZ.com has obtained a phone call of Dr. Conrad Murray -- the man convicted of killing Michael Jackson, telling a friend that jail is literally killing him. In the phone call, he revealed that he was rushed to USC Medical Center earlier this week fearing that he had blood clots in his legs. He told his friend, "It progressed until the leg felt numb ... it was painful all to the top of my foot ... around the medial aspect of my ankle and all the way to the mid-calf." He explained, "Blood clots are relatively risky ... especially if they propagate from the legs into the lungs to cause pulmonary embolism which can result in permanent disability or even death."
The site said that doctors determined that Murray had no bloodclots, but Murray says he continues to suffer. He told his friend, "I have had to lay in bed for most of the day because there is no way to elevate my feet. One of the recommendations by the doctor is to keep my legs elevated and to increase my activity which is impossible in a 5x7 cell. I may never be able to wear a boot again."
He then said, "I don't want to be permanently hurt by any condition in here ... because if I am, I will not let it rest."
Janet Jackson's lawyer has demanded a retraction from Vanity Fair Magazine over their report that said that Janet delayed her brother Michael's funeral over a financial dispute. Lawyer Blair G. Brown said in a letter to Vanity Fair editor in chief Graydon Carter, "This story is particularly hurtful and distressing because of Ms. Jackson's strong desire to serve her brother, whom she loved dearly, and her wish to stand with and support her family."
The attorney also said that the article "replete with additional false and defamatory statements" and has demanded a retraction.

Okie dokie parents... I have another question. My son is 11. He has, in the past, earned an allowance. Whether it was because of lean times or by his own choice, he currently goes without an allowance. However, he's been pumping the primer with his Mom and me to give him an allowance. I'm an admitted cheapskate. To me-- $2 a week is good for an 11 year-old. I've been trying to to talk with him about snow shoveling and mowing in the neighborhood to make the bigger bucks. But, if he wants to handle chores around the house--I'd spotted him a couple of dollars per week. Too stingy?

Tazo® Tropic Black Iced Tea Bag, 24 count
A refreshing blend of premium black teas.
Tasting Notes
Rich, floral, tropical
Enjoy this with:
Finger sandwiches on the porch at teatime with friends.
- How to Brew
- Black Tea
- Ingredients
- Did You Know?
For Best Brewing
- Place 1 filter bag in a 1 gallon (4 liter) pitcher.
- Fill with 2 Quarts (2 liters) boiling water.
- Steep for 3 minutes and remove bag.
- Fill pitcher to top with cold water; serve over ice.
Black tea is the fully oxidized leaf of Camellia sinensis and requires the most processing. The brewed liquor ranges between dark brown and deep red. Black teas offer the strongest flavors and, in some cases, the greatest astringency.
If ice is your preference, consider the Persians. By 400 B.C., they had devised a way to store ice in the middle of summer in the desert using primitive underground refrigerators called yakhchals, or "ice pits."
- Product Details
Find your place in the shade.
This blend of black teas from Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India has just a hint of jasmine and tropical essences to give it that crisp flavor – just what you want in a refreshing iced tea. It goes perfectly with a hammock under a shady tree on a balmy day.

We love to make big salads for dinner at our house. The salad that I make most frequently is a taco salad. It's one of my comfort foods. But I also make lots of other different varieties, including rice and pasta salads. Including meat, beans, or whole grains is a great way to add more substance to a salad. I also like to sometimes include a nice cheese in place of a meat and add lots of nuts or seeds. Salads like the ones I have in the slide show below are hearty enough to make your whole family happy, but if you're worried they won't be quite enough, you can easily supplement with fresh crusty bread and grilled chicken breasts (or tofu) if the salad is vegetarian.
Paella Rice Salad 1 of 20
For a cool summer take on this typically warm dish, keep the veggies raw and just cook the rice! You can also mix it up by using shrimp instead of chicken, or take out the meat entirely for a vegetarian option.
Beans and Rice Salad 2 of 20
A great summer twist on the classic rice and beans. Chock full of yummy veggies, this salad could easily take the place of an entree.
Mexican Green Rice Salad 3 of 20
This gorgeous green rice salad gets its color from fresh spinach, cilantro, and lime. If you like a little spice, add jalapeños for an extra kick!
Greek Quinoa Salad 4 of 20
Quinoa has become a trendy seed these days, and for good reason — it's nutritious and delicious! It works amazingly well as the base for this Greek salad. Just throw in a handful of feta, and you're good to go!
Warm Spinach Salad 5 of 20
Eggs, bacon, onion, and tomatos unite to make this delicious spinach salad. The secret is in the dressing ... that's right, there's extra bacon drippings in there for a little extra indulgence.
Black Bean, Corn and Avocado Salad 6 of 20
Avocados just scream summer, and this salad is full of them! Mixed with black beans, corn, and tomato, it's like an entire mexican dinner in one bowl. Margaritas, anyone?
Panzanella 7 of 20
A salad with bread? Count us in! This panzanella recipe includes tons of seasonal veggies and provides a fabulous way to use up your day-old bread.
Orzo Salad with Cannellini Beans and Olives 8 of 20
This salad has a distinctly Mediterranean feel to it — between the orzo, the feta, and the two different kinds of olives, you'll feel like you've jetset to a faraway island without ever leaving your dinner table.
Pear Salad with Walnuts and Feta 9 of 20
Crunchy walnuts, sweet pears, and soft feta make this salad a complete knockout!
Raspberry and Scallop Salad 10 of 20
This salad incorporates all the tastes of summer in one bite! Raspberries, mangos, and avocados on a bed of mixed greens — all topped with some beautiful seared scallops — sounds just about perfect!
Apple Pear Gorgonzola Salad 11 of 20
Stinky cheese alert! If you can get past the smell, gorgonzola makes a great addition to any salad with fruit. The sweet and tang are a match made in heaven!
Buffalo Chicken Salad 12 of 20
If you want to amp up your salad with some protein, this buffalo chicken salad is the perfect option. Drizzled with a touch of blue cheese dressing, it'll be a sure-fire family favorite in no time.
Oriental Chicken Salad 13 of 20
Garlic, onions, sesame oil, ginger, and marinated chicken combine to make for a meal that rivals Chinese takeout! To take this bowl up a notch, simply toss in some chow mein noodles. Yum!
Sante Fe Chicken Salad 14 of 20
This salad packs some serious spice! Between the dry rub on the chicken and the dressing with cumin, paprika, and coriander, your taste buds will be thanking you.
Blueberry Shrimp Salad with Lemon Dressing 15 of 20
Blueberries are still in season, and this salad is a great excuse to take advantage of that. Mixed with pecans, feta, and shrimp, this odd combo not only looks beautiful on the plate, but will feel good in your belly, too!
Classic Cobb Salad with Red Wine Lemon Vinaigrette 16 of 20
This salad has everything but the kitchen sink, and promises to satisfy any craving you have! Not to mention it's stunning — the perfect dish to bring for your next summer potluck.
Italian Salad and Fresh Basil Vinaigrette 17 of 20
This lettuce-less Italian salad is full of olives, tomato, peppers, and onions and topped with a vibrant green basil dressing. Molto bene!
Lightened-Up Taco Salad 18 of 20
Taco salad is just the best, but it can be really heavy and full of fatty foods and toppings. This version cuts down on the fat but still keeps the amazing flavor and texture we all love. It's win-win!
Jamaican Rice Salad 19 of 20
Sweet pineapple gives this salad a tropical twist! That's coupled with a punch of flavorful and spicy dressing, making for a perfectly balanced side dish.
Peanut Kale Salad 20 of 20
Peanuts add a bit of crunch to this savory kale bowl. Have a hankering for something spicy? Top it with ginger and cayenne for an extra zing!

"The moment of death is a tremendous opportunity, if we understand clearly what is happening and have prepared well for it in life. For at the actual moment of death, the thinking ego-mind dies into the essence, and in this truth, enlightenment takes place." --Sogyal Rinpoche
Many of us are drawn to the Dharma during difficult times. Some have chosen to become members of the Austin Shambhala Meditation Center help us find our connection to sangha. Our rich, nurturing and generous sangha has helped us to open our hearts further to the teachings and, over time, these individuals have become our closest friends, most insightful teachers and loving family. Through joyful events like birth, unions and celebrations as well as through the more difficult transitions like sickness, loss and death our sangha is truly a precious jewel for each of us on our path.
In this meeting we will continue the discussion around working with death, dying and grieving in the Buddhist tradition.
Please register for this meeting below. For more information on the meeting please contact Michael Rigby at firstname.lastname@example.com or Jake Lorfing at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don'tby Jim Collins
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Challenge
Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning.
But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?
The Study
The Standards
The Comparisons
Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness — why some companies make the leap and others don't.
The Findings
"Some of the key concepts discerned in the study," comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people."
Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?
About the Author
Jim Collins is a student and teacher of enduring great companies — how they grow, how they attain superior performance, and how good companies can become great companies. Having invested over a decade of research into the topic, Jim has co-authored three books, including the classic Built to Last,a fixture on the Business Weekbestseller list for more than five years, generating over 70 printings and translations into 16 languages. His work has been featured in Fortune, The Economist, Business Week, USA Today, Industry Week, Inc., Harvard Business Reviewand Fast Company.
Driven by a relentless curiosity, Jim began his research and teaching career on the faculty at Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he received the Distinguished Teaching Award in 1992. In 1995, he founded a management laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, where he now conducts multi-year research projects and works with executives from the private, public, and social sectors.
Jim has served as a teacher to senior executives and CEOs at corporations that include: Starbucks Coffee, Merck, Patagonia, American General, W.L. Gore, and hundreds more. He has also worked with the non-corporate sector such as the Leadership Network of Churches, Johns Hopkins Medical School, the Boys &Girls Clubs of America and The Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Non-Profit Management.
Jim invests a significant portion of his energy in large-scale research projects — often five or more years in duration — to develop fundamental insights and then translate those findings into books, articles and lectures. He uses his management laboratory to work directly with executives and to develop practical tools for applying the concepts that flow from his research.
In addition, Jim is an avid rock climber and has made free ascents of the West Face of El Capitan and the East Face of Washington Column in Yosemite Valley.

On Sunday my family met up with some friends from Appleton for lunch. Going out to eat takes a lot of planning. We have to go somewhere big enough to accommodate our group and infant carriers, that offers food our 2 year old will eat, and is loud enough that if our kids are a little loud we won't disrupt everyone's meals. We decided to meet at Buffalo Wild Wings in Stevens Point. What a great decision that was. The service was amazing!
Once we were seated our waitress took our drink and appetizer order, that's when my 2 year old, Mia, told her she wanted a pickle. We all chuckled. Before our drinks even arrived at the table another server brought Mia a pickle. We did not expect that she would actually get Mia a pickle, but boy was Mia tickled pink to see it.
During our meal Josh and Mia were playing and Mia ended up tipping over in her booster seat. Josh grabbed her by the legs so she didn't fall on her head. She was a little scared, but she wasn't hurt even though she was crying. The manager saw it happen and came over and asked her if she wanted to play the toy game with him. You know the one with the claw. She instantly stopped crying, smiled and said, "Yeah." He took money out of his own wallet to play the game with her and won her a toy on the first try. It's a crazy black ball with a smiley face on it. She loved it. She wouldn't put it down the rest of the time we were there and she forgot all about that scary moment she almost fell.
When our server brought us our bills and to go boxes she gave Mia her own to go box with a pickle in it. She even drew smiley faces and stars all over the box so Mia would know that was hers. There was no charge on our bill for either of those pickles.
It's so hard for a family like ours to go out to eat anywhere. Two infants and a two year old is a lot to manage at a restaurant, but we will definitely make it a point to take our business back to Buffalo Wild Wings. They made what could have been a very stressful event for us into a wonderful experience.

If there was any doubt people are obsessed with the Jodi Arias trial, one only has to be introduced to the Jodi Arias "voodoo doll."
While it initially blew up eBay online, it won't be found there now.
Cynthia Scanlan created the Jodi Arias voodoo doll, placing her creation on the popular internet consumer site, but a little black magic made it disappear.
The first-degree murder trial of the 32-year-old Arias has sex, intrigue, lies and ties to the Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The national appeal has been unmistakable with internet audiences flocking to cbs5az.com for the daily live streams, and national news shows such as CNN's Headline News and Nancy Grace placing the trial center stage on their broadcasts.
"There's a beautiful lady who's accused of a horrible crime," Scanlan said. "She also, I think, is a very evil person and possibly a sociopath."
That perceived evil cast a spell on Scanlan.
"I think it looks reasonably enough like her," Scanlan said as she showed off her creation while admitting that she "never sewed a doll" before.
Scanlan said the voodoo vision came to her while she was in the shower.
So, stitch by stitch, it took two days to sew the creation by hand, right down to her Mormon baptism gown and well-publicized underwear.
"The biggest challenge, no doubt, was the panties," which sport the first name of Arias' ex-lover, Travis Alexander, who she said she killed in self-defense in his shower in 2008.
The mini murder suspect is now a pin cushion for personal rage.
"A lot of the emotions she stirs in me, I think she absolutely stirs in other people," Scanlan said.
She listed the doll on eBay this week and was shocked at the huge response.
"Overwhelmingly positive," Scanlan said. "People have been, like, 'You go girl.'"
"I actually had 914 people who had viewed it in just two days," she said. "I got one negative comment that said it was tasteless."
But a short time later Scanlan received an email from eBay, saying the listing was removed because it could be considered inappropriate or insensitive to victims of human tragedies.
"I think that they think it's offensive because she is on trial for murder," Scanlan said.
But is eBay guilty of a double standard? Ebay has auctioned off Arias' own artwork for weeks, including a listing that went online just Thursday.
"The person who perpetrated the crime is the one who's really making money on it, which is crazy," Scanlan said.
As for Arias' artwork, eBay released a statement which reads, in part:
"The items themselves are not offensive as they meet the criteria for the types of art we allow on our site. However, if Arias is convicted, we will evaluate and remove items as appropriate," eBay announced, because it would then fall under items related to violent felons.

Comments On Sep 29, 2010:Bought these to replace a pair of in-expensive Over the Glasses "OTG" goggles that kept fogging up. Wearing glasses stinks when riding in the hot Georgia weather and contacts do not work that great for me.
These goggles have enough room for me to wear glasses and stay more comfortable than I was with my other pair. I like the tear-offs that came with them more than the other brand as well(that did not include them). Don't need to add them one at a time. The thinner tear-offs that are together at one end seem to be easier to maintain. Well done Oakley.
