TAR Host Phil Keoghan
Posted 01 May 2009 - 06:46 PM
The ride has been a success. More than a month into his 3,500-mile journey, Phil has raised more than a quarter of a million dollars for the organization. But the trip hasn't been without a few bumps in the road (one quite literally). On Day 22, Phil checked himself into an Iowa hospital where he was hooked up to a saline drip since he hadn't been taking in enough calories or staying properly hydrated. Now, Phil, we know you know better! Didn't Margie's collapse in Thailand teach you anything?
Then this past Tuesday, on day 32, he stumbled into more trouble on his way to Columbus, Ohio. The good host hit a train track while riding 30 miles per hour, fell off his bike and slid for about 15 feet. Don't worry, he's OK, but he tore up his clothes pretty good and ended up with a bloody face and knees. Phil said he was only a little sore, so he got back on the bike and kept going. Now, if he can just eat, drink, watch out for obstacles during the last leg of the trip and make it to New York on time, this will have been one amazing race.
Video of Phil after his fall..... worth watching

And then there were three. Lets go ahead and get this out of the way. That was without a doubt the most expensive bathroom break in the history of The Amazing Race, right? Even as I sat watching the episode last night from my hotel in Maryland, knowing what was about to happen, I still couldnt believe it. I know that it was really tough on Jen and that she felt truly responsible for their elimination especially considering they had battled through the U-turn, the eating challenge and even moved ahead of the redheads and still came up several minutes shy of the final three. Both Kisha and Jen have competitive natures and Im sure that elimination stung.
But I have to say, Kisha really impressed me again with her stoic response to the entire situation. She could have easily lost her cool on baby sis but she didnt. She never blamed her or even get that upset...she knew that Jen was doing enough of that on her own. Kisha held it together like a great big sister should. Kudos to her.
I know that some people dont like the eating challenges, but you have to admit they are an excellent test of a persons will and determination -- especially at this stage in the game. If I were to make it this far in the race, I can promise you that a starfish or a scorpion wouldn't keep me from getting to the next leg. At that point Im eating anything I need to in order to advance. But even I was truly impressed with the ease with which a couple of the teams handled those Asian delicacies. They blew through that challenge. Cara was a machine.
Speaking of team Redheads -- I think it goes without saying that Jaime might need to work on her people skills, specifically with taxi drivers. Each and every week I am truly amazed at her impatience with the language barrier she faces in these foreign countries. Seems like Cara should have stepped in to assist in communicating with the drivers by now but Jaime is still doing all the screaming.
Cant believe we are almost at the end of this season. I feel like this is one of the best editions we've ever done. The cast was amazing, the challenges were creative and unique and the pace was unstoppable. I hope you guys feel the same.
Heres my quick tease for the finale episode:
After 3 continents, 9 countries, and 40,000 miles, it all comes down to one final leg. The final three teams will square off in a leg that will test everything from their endurance, their memories, and even their sea legs. And one racers Karma may come back to haunt them. Two teams will put their friendship first when they set aside the Race and help each other finish a task, and the final three teams will find themselves racing neck-and-neck in their last task on the road to the million dollar prize.
Final-Three Team Breakdown:
Cara and Jaime: Fiercely tough competitors but you have to wonder if a local is going to lose their cool on them at some point with all the screaming. Having said that, they definitely have the strength to become the first all-female team to win the Race.
Victor and Tammy: Seem to be coming on strong now. Theyre focused, determined, and they feed off of each others tunnel vision. Definitely a stronger team heading into the final leg than they were when we first started this race. I love when teams relationships grow on the Race.
Luke and Margie: Communicate better than any team left in the Race, but do they have the strength to battle it out against two very strong teams.
Guess we'll have to wait and see next Sunday.

Another season in the can. I think season 14 was definitely one of the best we've ever done. Ranks right up there with some of my other personal favorites - seasons 1, 3, 5, and 7 to name a few. We had an extraordinary final three heading into Sunday night. We had a feisty all-female team in Cara and Jaime and who had what it took to potentially claim the first victory for the women; we had the Team that you may call this season's underdogs; and lastly Tammy and Victor, who may just have a bit more practical skills than I ever gave them credit for.
I was at the finale party in NY last night and Victor actually called my bluff and wanted to challenge me to a tire changing contest. However, he did admit that they struggled driving a stick shift and that he had bruises all over his legs from being a bit uncoordinated if you think back, the propeller Roadblock wasnt exactly a whirling success.
In addition to the season 14 cast, we also had some past familiar faces at the party last night including former Racers Tom and Terry, Sarah and Terence, Kelly and Christy, Nate and Jennifer, and even Drew from Season 1 showed up. Really fantastic to see all those guys coming out to show their support for this group of globe trotters.
Seeing as this is my last blog entry for this season, I thought I would review some of my favorite moments from Season 14:
· Cannonball Cheese Wheels: If you ever hear the line "Watch out for the cheese," you know you have a great season on your hands.
· Big Brother Doesn't Always Know Best: While in Romania, Victor insisted they were going in the right direction. He was wrong. Turned out to be a game changer for the winners as Victor learned its a Team sport and not a dictatorship.
· Mat Meltdown: Who was to blame? Even several weeks following the infamous meltdown, we're still debating who was in the wrong.
· Most expensive potty break ever: Kisha and Jen work so hard as a team to battle back through a challenging leg and with a spot in the final three on the line, Jen makes a quick bathroom Pitstop.
· Last nights Roadblock: Love the moment when all three teams are running neck-and-neck. Great finale episode last night.
As Ive stated before, I really love when teams' relationships grow on the Race and I honestly feel like Tammy and Victor's matured right in front of us. They learned to feed off of each other, communicate with one another, and most importantly listen to each other. And I believe theyre probably walking away from the Race with a better relationship than when we started. I have a lot of respect for those guys.
As far as their strength in the game, they were like the NY Giants two seasons ago they got hot down the stretch and everything started clicking for them. They ran one heck of a race in the final couple of legs. Don't get me wrong, we knew they were a strong team when we first saw them, but I think most of us thought their relationship may trip them up along the way.
Luke and Margie were definitely one of my favorite Teams we've ever had on the show. Their relationship is truly compelling and whether or not they were your favorites, you have to give both of them a ton of credit. Not sure they were on anyone's final three lists at the start of the season. Margie or as I call her, Bionic Woman is as competitive and strong willed a human being as I've ever been around. And Luke, who was probably the biggest Race fan ever, never let any obstacle get in his way and clearly never will.
Cara and Jaime definitely played a strong game. When we first saw this team we knew they were strong enough physically and mentally to make a serious run at the million dollars. They were also relentless in their pursuit of becoming the first all-female team to win the Race but came up just a bit short. Im sure Cara was a great cheerleader on the field, but she is definitely an all-star off the field. She always maintained her cool throughout a very hectic race and was always supportive of her friend and teammate.
Just want to say thanks to everyone for tuning in this season and for coming out to support me on my Ride Across America. Its been a crazy couple of months. I am going home now (via airplane) in a much wider and more comfortable seat to gear up for season 15.

Above in post # 61 I saw where Phil went on a huge bike trek for MS, like 1200 miles, I had no idea he was into cycling, and then was surprised about the MS Society, you just do not hear that much about ppl doing stuff for that particular charity, and I was impressed with what Phil did for MS

Excellent Consistent service over the past 5 years – I've brought my Husqvarna #1+ there several times over the past 5 yrs. Very helpful serviceNow I need a vac.Guess where I'll be shopping?
Customer Service Nightmare – This is my first negative message on Citisearch. I have visited Viking stores all over the country and never experienced such poor customer service as in Viking Sewing in Bellevue and Renton. Please don't judge all Viking stores on Bellevue and Renton as there are many other Viking Sewing stores that are expertly professional. Sewers want solutions and they don't want anyone to waste their time which you'll experience at Viking Sewing of Bellevue and Renton (same owner). Check feedback at Citisearch or Craigslist for the best Viking Sewing stores.
Not all Viking Stores are Created Equal – Very poor customer service at the Bellevue and Renton Viking Sewing, possibly due to the fact that both stores have the same owner. Staff are more worried about their company than the customer. They do not work cooperatively with other Viking stores nor do they understand the Viking vision of excellence in customer care. Would not visit either store again when I can find exactly the opposite at other Viking stores.

NFID is committed to increasing awareness about meningococcal disease among consumers and healthcare providers and to prevention of meningococcal disease through vaccination.
In 2005, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a new type of meningococcal disease vaccine, called a conjugate vaccine. The conjugate vaccine is recommended by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and a number of major healthcare organizations (e.g., American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, American College Health Association) for adolescents 11-12 years of age and, for those who haven't previously received it, at high school entry (age 15). The vaccine is also recommended for college freshmen who will be living in dormitories.
Talk to your healthcare provider about your child's vaccination status if they fall into any of these categories to ensure that your child or teen is protected against this potentially deadly disease.

A lot of what comes through /review is actually good content, but more often than not it's in need of editing. It would make this process much easier if it could be done in place. Currently you're taken to the question page, and when you've finished editing you remain there, meaning you have to go back twice to get to /review. Eliminating this would make editing much less of a chore.
Why YES ... you can have it in
Actually, in most cases I like to have a look at the complete page (question, answers and comments) before starting to edit a question or answer.
The "need two clicks to go back" might need some improvement, but I'm not sure inline-editing is the way to go here.

Mine workers vote to accept settlement with Patriot Coal
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Members of the United Mine Workers of America have voted to ratify a settlement with bankrupt Patriot Coal.
The union said Friday night that current or laid-off Patriot workers in West Virginia and Kentucky voted 85 percent to 15 percent in favor of the agreement reached late last week.
Some 1,800 members from 13 locals were voting.
St. Louis-based Patriot says it wants the company to survive, and union President Cecil Roberts says a deal may let that happen.
The settlement would restore most wage cuts that Patriot had sought as part of its reorganization.
Roberts says the deal also reduces the restoration of some benefits and the continuation of others.
Pension benefits for thousands of current retirees would be maintained, and active employees would continue earning pension credit.
United Mine Workers reach settlement with Patriot Coal
A settlement has been reached between the United Mine Workers of America and St. Louis-based Patriot Coal. It's been a long, hard-fought battle between the mine workers and Patriot Coal, as well as Patriot's parent company, Peabody Energy. UMWA president Cecil Roberts says the new terms and conditions of employment are "significant improvements" over what was previously ordered by a bankruptcy judge in May. Roberts says the new agreement now heads to the UMWA members for ratification. That will take place on Friday. The mine workers say that Peabody spun off Patriot Coal in an attempt to avoid paying union wages and health benefits to employees. The details of the new agreement won't be released until after the union votes on Friday.
Patriot Coal promises to keep retirement benefits unchanged for two months
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A bankrupt coal producer says it has imposed wage and benefit cuts affecting thousands of its workers, but that the pullbacks are less severe than those authorized by a judge.
But St. Louis-based Patriot Coal Corp. added Tuesday that it will keep retiree health care benefits unchanged for the next two months.
Patriot didn't detail the cuts it has adopted, more than a month after a bankruptcy judge empowered Patriot to abandon its collective-bargaining agreements.
Patriot says its continued bargaining with the United Mine Workers of America union has produced "substantial progress."
A spokesman for the union isn't talking publicly about Patriot's cuts imposed Monday, saying only that the union is still meeting with the company to make further improvements over the bankruptcy court's order.
Chance of Patriot Coal strike increases after court ruling
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Prospects of a strike involving union workers at Patriot Coal Corp. are intensifying after a bankruptcy judge signed off on the company's push to abandon its labor agreement with the miners.
Bargaining between the United Mine Workers of America and St. Louis-based Patriot has taken a break, with the company empowered by the judge's May 29 ruling.
That decision allows Patriot to make deep cuts to benefits for thousands of retirees, while also altering its labor deal involving existing employees.
The union and the company say they are negotiating in good faith, though the union says what's on the table right now may be sent to the membership for consideration of whether a strike is in order.
Patriot counters that a walkout could force it to liquidate.
Bankruptcy judge rules in favor of Patriot Coal
The United Mine Workers are unhappy with the decision of a bankruptcy court to side with Patriot Coal today. The ruling is the latest chapter in saga concerning benefits for retired miners. Patriot Coal is an independent company, but was created by spinning off part of Peabody Energy. Patriot argued they needed to cut retiree's benefits to stay in business. The Miners argued they had been promised benefits and should not have them taken away. The decision came on the last day the court could rule on the matter.
Patriot Coal case to cut benefits, now with the judge
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A bankrupt St. Louis-based coal company's push to significantly cut thousands of retirees' health care and pension benefits is in the hands of a judge.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kathy Surratt-States has until May 29 to decide the matter that last week was argued before her by attorneys for Patriot Coal Corp. and the United Mine Workers of America union. It's not clear how soon any ruling may come.
Patriot's proposed benefits cuts have been the most contentious aspect of its bankruptcy case since the Peabody Energy Corp. spinoff filed for Chapter 11 protection last summer. The company says it would have to spend $1.6 billion to cover retirees' health care costs, and that if that didn't change it might risk liquidation.
The union considers the cuts immoral, drastic and unfair.
STL's Peabody Energy to hold annual meeting in Wyoming
St Louis based Peabody Energy is holding its annual shareholders meeting in Wyoming to highlight the importance of the coal-rich Powder River Basin.
A delegation of more than a dozen retired and active mine workers from West Virginia, Illinois, Kentucky and Florida are protesting.
One group critical of the company, Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment, claims the company is trying to avoid hearing concerns in its hometown.
Meantime, thousands of protesting mine workers returned to St. Louis today as hearings begin in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on demands by Peabody's Patriot Coal Company. Miners accuse Peabody of eliminating health care for retired miners and for making cuts in pay, benefits and working conditions for current miners.
In a statement, Peabody Energy says "The union continues to grandstand when it knows that this matter will be decided in the courts. Patriot was highly successful following its launch more than five years ago with significant assets, low debt and a market value that more than quadrupled in less than a year. Peabody has lived up to its obligations and continues to do so. This is a matter between the union and Patriot Coal, and will be decided in the bankruptcy court."
Patriot Coal offers miners stake in company
Patriot Coal is offering the mine workers union a 35 percent stake in the reorganized company. The offer is aimed at winning support for benefit and wage cuts for thousands of active miners, retirees and beneficiaries. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Patriot sent the offer to the United Mine Workers of America on Wednesday.
The move comes less than three weeks before the Creve Coeur-based coal producer and the union are set to clash in a bankruptcy hearing after negotiating over the proposed cuts for months. Patriot says it must cut $150-million in operating expenses in order to survive. The company says they only place left to cut is wages and benefits.
Patriot spun off from St. Louis-based Peabody Energy in 2007, and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July of last year.
Patriot Coal protest help in Charleston, West Virginia
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Thousands of people are protesting Patriot Coal Corp.'s bankruptcy reorganization plan in downtown Charleston, West Virginia.
The protesters gathered at the Charleston Civic Center for a rally organized by the United Mine Workers of America. They heard from speakers including Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin before walking a short distance to protest outside Patriot Coal's West Virginia offices at Laidley Tower.
Last week, the House of Delegates called for bankrupt Patriot Coal to honor its pension and benefit commitments to some 23,000 retired miners and their dependents.
St. Louis-based Patriot is trying shed some of that $1.6 billion liability as it restructures. Patriot contends the move is needed to save 4,000 existing jobs.
Peabody union coal miners protest downtown for 3rd time
Patriot Coal Corp. has asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to modify collective bargaining agreements with the United Mine Workers of America, allowing the coal company to cut health care coverage for retired miners.
St. Louis-based Patriot said in the filing the action is necessary to save more than 4,000 jobs. Patriot also seeks to change wages, benefits and work rules for existing workers in an effort to make the company more competitive.
Union leaders have been anticipating the move for some time, holding protests in St. Louis last month that drew more than 1,000 people. UMWA President Cecil Roberts says the loss of benefits would cause financial ruin and threaten the health for thousands of retirees.

AUSTIN -- Inside the Texas bakery in the Chinatown Mall, the Asian community is a big market here.
Lucy Gonzales offers fresh Asian cuisine and pastries to her customers. Gonzales moved to Austin from Houston nine months ago to expand her business.
"We have so many customers every day," Gonzales said. "First of all, we like Austin, and second of all we know in the next ten years the Asian population will grow and double."
Gonzales is right. Experts predict the number of Asians in Austin to double by 2020.
In Travis County, the Asian population stands at 6.8 percent. That's far more than the national 4.2 percent.
"Asians are Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indians, Nepalese, Chinese of course," said Ali Khataw, past chair of Austin's Asian Chamber of Commerce.
Shopping malls anchored by Asian businesses are now a familiar site around town and more are planned.
And work on Austin's Asian Resource Center is going full steam ahead. The venue will showcase Asian arts and culture to the entire community. It's expected to open in May of this year.
Khataw believes employment opportunities in science and technology, as well as Austin's robust economy is why people of all nationalities are coming here in record numbers.
"And third what I think is very important to the Asians is the to grow their family. Austin is an ideal incubator to raise a family," he said.
Khataw said the Asian community has to work on getting more involved in local politics and issues.
"The more proactive we are the more we will be represented," Khataw said.

Straddling the banks of the Río Claro, Talca is not only Maule's most important industrial center; it is also one of the most appealing towns in the Central Valley. It was founded in 1692 and intelligently designed on a regimented grid pattern divided into quadrants—poniente means west and oriente east; sur means south and norte north—centered around the pretty Plaza de Armas. Be sure to take some time to check out its native and exotic trees.

Available Projects
I am looking into remodeling my very out dated kitchen. We are on a fairly tight budget and are planning to do most of the work ourselves. We had someone come out today to measure the kitchen for cabinets. While at my house they brought something up that I hadn't thought of, lead paint. My plan was to take out a wall and tear out the tile "backsplash" that covers 75% of the walls. I have 2 small children and am not comfortable trying to remove this myself at this point if it does contain lead. I am looking for advice and options. Can you plaster over tile? Can you drywall over tile? Is there anything I can do to make my kitchen look great without tearing out the tile? Help! I'm lost...
Hi MMQ,
I understand your concern about lead paint and that it is an issue that can be a problem. However, you need to be more informed about the issue so you know how to best to deal with this problem.
Below are links which provide information about lead paint and what is needed if you plan to renovate an area where such material was used. Read then and become more informed.
As you will notice the US Government banned the use of lead paint in 1978 so any home built after that date will likely be free of this problem.
Do you know when your home was built? This may be the first step in dealing with the issue. If it is built after 1978 then you may not have any issue to be concerned about. If it was before 1978 then you need to learn how to have the area tested to see if lead is involved. You also need to learn what you may and may not do by following the EPA document above. Failing to do so could lead to being fined.
These are just some thoughts for you to consider.
Good Luck!
you cannot lay new material over tile and expect it to stay in place... whatever the material.
lead paint advice is a trap, but I'm a slow learner, I guess. if any of the pros chime in, listen. I would do a swipe test in my own house, and try to remove the wall in as large a set of piecces as possible with an N95 mask and the connecting rooms masked off with an overlapping-plastics dust trap (2 pieces of poly sheet from the roll.) furnace/AC air circulation blocked to that kitchen.
the question of "is old lead paint encapsulated if it's covered by 3 layers of good stuff" has never been really answered to my mind. if it's flaking off to the plaster, of course, then the failure is obvious.
since old houses are rehabbed all the time and nobody is dumber than the drywall by the end of the job, I suspect as long as you catch the dust and keep the kids out, it will be fine.
watch out for old linoleum as well, most of it was made with an asbestos mat in with the tar. ripping that out like newbies on TV will cause worse problems than a little lead. if you can't wiggle it out wet and keep wiping up and respraying, go to the subfloor and take the lino up with the floorboards.

sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
I recommend contacting the US Dept of Housing and Urban Development requesting a "Lead Paint Safety Guide", a field guide for Painting, Home Maintenance and Renovation Work.
It is a straight head no nonsense approach to safely working around a lead environment.
And while contractors are bound by federal law to follow its workplace rules, in a technical sense homeowners do not have to. Nor will big brother be bearing down your neck. Odd, but true. But with children involved why would one not?
Good luck with your project, be safe. Basically what Simply_Me posted above, but very sound advise.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CommonwealthSparky,

any hints or tips would be great
I drank 6-10 sodas a day up until the day I started my first challenge. I didn't experience any withdrawls. It is IMPERATIVE that you suck down water like the supply is running out. The water will flush out the impurities in your body fast. Once the sugar is washed out of your body you will start feeling the energy from the fabulous, fueling food that you put into it. The workouts help with that flushing process also.
As for motivation from others...this really isn't for anyone else, is it? This is all about you. No one helped you get where you are. No one can save you but you. The bonus is that BFL has provided this fabulous forum that you can communicate with other challengers who are experiencing life struggles too. It is VERY beneficial to post and read daily throughout your challenge. I know it helped me a ton.
Keep the faith!

During my challenge I stumbled on to this quote. I love it cause it is so true. Are you ready to change?
It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.
James Gordon, M.D.
don't feel so bad, I am still doing my workouts, but have had a couple of glasses of wine this week. It's been stressful, however I am not doing the "official" challenge for cash. I'm doing it for me...I am still making progress. my MD was happy, plus I realized this morning I was pre-cycle...that can make it tougher for a woman...."just keep swimming" is my motto...
You are so right about pre-cycle Alexandra!
CHOCOLATE!!! But... I will not give in to that craving except on my free days - BROWNIE SUNDAY!!! I am woman, hear me roar! (Ok, showing my age, not even going to say what song that line is from!) LOL!
Live Love Lift!

Saying 'I Do!'
Marriage equality for D.C. gays and lesbians also brought opportunities for business
by Ernesto M. Santalla
Published on April 21, 2011, 1:34am | Comments
When Tammy Freeman, a member of the Capital Area Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (CAGLCC), and her partner started planning their wedding, she quickly discovered some unique challenges that same-sex couples face when getting hitched.
Stepping into unchartered territory was awkward. Shops assumed Freeman was marrying a man, which required "coming out" repeatedly – to mixed reactions. Through the wedding-planning process, she realized the gay community would need to adjust to the newly won rights.

Turning frustration into opportunity, and building on a desire to connect businesses with consumers, Freeman launched Pink Dot Concepts in March 2010. Pink Dot is a strategic event and marketing company that has focused on the wedding niche market with a focus on the LGBT community and small businesses.
Pink Dot's first major event was in June 2010. "Say I Do!" was a wedding expo where 30 vendors catered to 125 mostly same-sex couples at a one-day event at the Hotel Palomar in Dupont Circle.
"We received really positive feedback from the event,'' says Freeman. ''It is, to date, the best-attended LGBT wedding expo in the area.''
The success of this event gave way to another, geared toward a highly specialized market: wedding cakes. ''With the cost of gas and the time it takes to drive from place to place, it only made sense to plan 'Let Them Eat Cake,''' says Freeman of last month's cake-focused event. Next up is the "Non-Conforming Bridal Fair," for the nontraditional bride or couple looking to mix things up, May 1 at D.C.'s Articulate Gallery.
"Some couples want a wedding that is completely different from any other, while some want a special touch to make the event memorable,'' says Freeman in anticipation of this upcoming business-to-consumer event.
Having celebrated a first anniversary, Pink Dot brings back the ''Say I Do!'' wedding expo on June 5 at the Palomar. For more information visit Pink Dot online at sayidoexpo.com.
Network, Network, Network
If the buzzword in real estate is "location," in business it's "network." In today's competitive market, how do we chose to work with one over the other? Usually it comes down to the individual with whom we choose to do business: the one we like, respect and trust. Once the relationship is established, you will likely want to work with the same banker, lawyer, electrician – even when they move companies. And as success is usually measured in numbers, having a large network of clients, referral sources, individuals and companies to refer and a long list of potentials pays off.
To the "schmoozer," working a room is second nature. The rest of us need coaching and practice, which CAGLCC provides at Speed Networking, an event aimed at making up to 15 new contacts in the course of two hours. In a relaxed environment, individuals learn the basics of networking and get started immediately on a one-on-one basis exchanging "elevator pitches." Every five minutes, the wheels turn and a new set of introductions are exchanged. By the end of the evening, each participant walks away having made 15 new impressions.
You've attended this event before? Come again! Seasoned networkers know that gaining new business is a process. After the initial introduction, there is a period of getting acquainted, followed by the courtship and, finally, closing the transaction. Those who expect to walk into a room and walk out with business are usually sorely disappointed and soon give up. But those who hone their networking skills see how building relationships pays off handsomely.
Join CAGLCC at the next Speed Networking event, May 24, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at Cobalt, 1639 R St. NW. For more information, visit caglcc.org/events.

Comments On Dec 15, 2011:these are tough. in the past i have had to do a little customizing to get these to fit right, but it is worth it. Come to think of it, i have had to customize almost every wrap around hand guard do to the different bar bends. overall though...i like it.

Comments On May 04, 2011:I have Magura bars and the D-flex handguards - these adapters do not fit at all. One would need swivel adapters like the ones that come with the handguards but these are only sold for 7/8" bars.

Comments On Aug 23, 2009:I actually bought these to use with my Pro Taper bars on my WR. Customer service at RMATV suggested that these would work fine with my PT bars and they did. No problems at all after thousands of miles. Great!

Comments On Jul 17, 2008:These big bar adapters seem sturdy, but do not fit the stock Magura handlebars very well on my 07 KTM EXC 450. They need to be a tad bigger in diameter and they need to be adjustable at the end that connects into the handgard - I'll have to bend the handguards quite a bit to get the screw to go straight into the end of the adapter bar. I may try something else...

Comments On Apr 23, 2008:These adapters are a good fit with the D-flex handguards. Put them on my KTM 525 and they work as they should. Nice and sturdy!

I can recommend HaliTonic to anyone. This product has really worked for me.- Denzil J.
What is HaliTonic?
HaliTonic is a safe, non-addictive, natural remedy containing 100% homeopathic ingredients especially selected to reduce bad breath (halitosis), improve breath freshness and promote oral health.
HaliTonic may be taken at the first signs of bad breath to support systemic cleansing for fresher breath.
HaliTonic is taken internally to maintain the natural system cleansing and detoxifying properties of the body to promote a healthy, fresh mouth, throat and digestive tract – ensuring that all systems are supported to improve breath freshness. Presented in small tablet form, HaliTonic is easy to ingest and hassle-free with no artificial colors or preservatives.
Due to its unique homeopathic formula, HaliTonic is safe for all ages as well as during pregnancy and nursing. It is is also a great complementary remedy to herbal Detox Drops™, which enhances the body's natural ability to remove toxins and safely cleanse the system, providing additional support for relieving bad breath.
All Native Remedies homeopathic products and biochemic tissue salts are manufactured in an FDA and GMP registered pharmaceutical facility under the supervision of qualified homeopaths and responsible pharmacists. Individual ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
Freshness from within
People often worry about bad breath, which can affect social relationships and result in embarrassment and low self-esteem. There are many factors involved in ensuring your breath smells fresh and sweet.
Oral hygiene, regular brushing and flossing of teeth and visiting your dentist regularly will go a long way to contributing to good oral health, and will help to prevent and stop tooth decay before it becomes serious.
The natural way
Following a healthy diet will help to promote strong teeth and healthy gums, while avoiding foods high in sugar will also prevent decay. Excess sugar in the diet can also contribute toward an unhealthy digestive system and overgrowth of intestinal yeasts like candida – which can sometimes cause breath to smell unpleasant. Drinking plenty of fresh water is also very important to keep your body and mouth well hydrated.
There are also many well-known natural remedies which can be very beneficial in maintaining oral health and keeping breath fresh.
What are the Ingredients?
HaliTonic is a 100% homeopathic formula and contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Kali phos (6C), Nat sulph (6C), Carduus mar (3X), Silicea (6C).
- Kali phos (6C) is a biochemic tissue salt which is a constituent of all fluids in the body. Kali phos is well known as a systemic cleanser, helping to keep the entire body smelling pleasant. It is also an excellent nerve tonic.
- Silicea (6C) has a unique ability to cleanse the cells of toxins and support breath freshness. Silica is naturally occurring in the body, especially in hair, nails, skin, nerve sheaths and all mucus membranes, including the mouth and digestive tract. This biochemic tissue salt is also frequently recommended to promote gum health and to maintain natural balance of enzymes in the mouth. Silica acts as a natural cleanser and purifier and will also eliminate all foreign matter in the body. For this reason, Silica should not be used by people with any type of prosthesis, breast implants, pace makers, metal plates, pins or artificial tubes in the body.
- Carduus mar (3X) is regarded as one of the most important homeopathic remedies when it comes to the liver. It helps to support healthy liver functioning, bile production and digestion, thereby assisting in the routine elimination of toxins in the body and the digestive tract. Use of this ingredient may be traced back more than 2000 years. It has also been subject to many clinical trials which clearly demonstrate its effectiveness as a restorative (Benda L, Dittrich H, Ferenzi P, et al. "The influence of therapy with silymarin on the survival rate of patients with liver cirrhosis (author's transl)." Wien Klin Wochenschr 1980; 92(19):678-683.)(Wilasrusmee C, Kittur S, Shah G, et al. Immunostimulatory effect of Silybum Marianum (milk thistle) extract. Med Sci Monit 2002; 8(11):BR439-BR443.).
- Nat sulph (6C) is another important tissue salt involved in systemic cleansing and the maintenance of water balance in the body.
This homeopathic remedy is an OTC medicine registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Native Remedies is the leading brand of natural remedies known for safe, effective and quality products. Our remedies are formulated by natural health experts and produced under the highest pharmaceutical standards in FDA-registered, GMP certified facilities. We utilize the finest quality ingredients that are officially monographed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
Native Remedies homeopathic products and biochemic tissue salts never contain any animal products, gluten, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, and are not tested on animals. Our products are always backed by our One Year Unconditional Money Back Guarantee.
How do I use HaliTonic?
Dissolve these very small, pleasant-tasting tablets directly in the mouth. Alternatively, for small babies, crush tablets and sprinkle onto tongue.
For all ages: Take 2 tablets 2-4 times daily.
Note: For additional support in cleansing the mouth and digestive tract to relieve bad breath, try Detox Drops™ to safely flush toxins from the body.
HaliTonic is a homeopathic remedy and is safe for all ages and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Caution: There may also be other underlying causes which contribute to bad breath and which may be difficult to overcome, despite all efforts to follow a healthy mouth and teeth cleaning routine. Should you notice a change in the quality of your breath, it is always a good idea to consult your dentist for advice.
If symptoms persist or worsen, a health care professional should be consulted. If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a health professional before use. Keep this and all medicines from the reach of children.
Not recommended for those with surgical implants or prostheses unless under medical supervision.
How long until I see results?
People can differ widely in their response times to tissue salts depending on individual physical composition, lifestyle and diet. With regular use of HaliTonic, improvement should be noted within 3-5 weeks – although some people respond sooner.
Best results are achieved when HaliTonic is used consistently along a regular oral hygiene program.
How long will a bottle last?
HaliTonic contains 180 tablets and, depending on frequency of use, one bottle lasts for approximately 22-23 days.
How has HaliTonic helped others?
"I am so grateful to you that I decided to write to you with a testimonial for HaliTonic which has been the best thing that has happened to me! I was hardly ever without a mint in my mouth. Without HaliTonic I'm sure that this would have continued forever as believe me, I have tried everything! In less than a week I noticed …(a difference) and even my mother said that my breath was much better. I can't believe that my problem has been solved after all this expense and time and simply cannot thank you enough!"
— Cecilia
"[HaliTonic] has really helped my mouth feel fresher–– thanks."
— Andrea B., England
"I can recommend HaliTonic to anyone. This product has really worked for me."

Creating a fairer Britain
12 January 2012
In response to a Met Police plan to reduce the number of random stop and searches it carries out under s60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, John Wadham, Group Legal Director, Equality and Human Rights Commission said:
"We welcome the new Metropolitan Police Commissioner's statement. We are pleased the force intends to change its practices, so that fewer people are stopped without good reason – breaching their human rights. We will continue to work with the Met Police to make sure it deals with all the issues we've raised about its use of stop and search, and will check that these changes lead to a reduction in the disproportionate stopping and searching of ethnic minorities."

"WPD was so helpful in assisting my personal needs for my wedding invitations! The paper has a great sturdy quality that definitely held up in the mail."
"We wanted something simple, classy, and fit us. This was definitely it! We required some edits to the wording and Wedding Paper Divas were more than accomodating."
"Ordered in white background and majestic font. Customer service was excellent. The designer worked with me and made changes for me so that it would be perfect. I was very satisfied. I recommend having addresses printed on the envelope, it saved a tremendous amount of time and well worth the small extra expense."
"Our invitations came out beautiful and their customer service team is incredible.. All my questions were answered. I never felt like I was a nuisance no matter how may time I called."
"I ordered these RSVP cards to match our wedding invites, and was able to work with the designer to customize the bottom half of the card for no additional fee. Instead of entree options, we added additional, humorous reply options, and are guests are loving them! It was cool to be able to put our personal touch on the cards instead of going with something entirely pre-designed."

Venue: Venetian Theatre
3355 S. Las Vegas Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV
Show Dates: January 17, 2014 - January 18, 2014
Show Times: 7pm & 9:30pm
Age Restriction: 5
$107,50 - $1,012.50
Country music sweethearts Tim McGraw and Faith Hill team up for a night of their greatest hit songs in their show, Soul2Soul, at the Venetian. Soul2Soul is the first time in six years that McGraw and Hill have performed together on stage in the United States. The show is slated to run for 10 weekends through April 2014.
As two of country music's top-selling artists, McGraw and Hill typically perform in huge arenas to audiences of upwards of 50,000 people. On the Las Vegas Strip, fans will have a chance to see the Grammy award-winning entertainers in an intimate concert format with innovative lighting and set design reminiscent of their Soul2Soul concerts. Soul2Soul takes place in the 1,815-seat theater, formerly the home of "Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular." The set list includes many of McGraw and Hill's No. 1 hit songs presented in an all-new way for audiences at the Venetian. The pair worked to create a show that's both fun for them and unique for their fans.
McGraw and Hill have been dominating the music charts since the early '90s. They began performing together in 2000 in their record-breaking "Soul2Soul" tour, becoming that year's top-grossing and most successful U.S. tour. In 2006, their success continued when "Soul2Soul II" returned to the road. It became the highest-grossing country music tour of all time, the most attended of the year in any musical genre and remains the highest-grossing multiyear North American tour in country music history.
Alone, McGraw has sold more than 40 million records worldwide. With hit songs, including "Live Like You Were Dying," "Everywhere" and "Real Good Man," he dominated the charts with 32 No. 1 singles. McGraw has won three Grammy awards, 14 Academy of Country Music awards, 11 Country Music Association awards, 10 American Music awards, three People's Choice awards and numerous other honors. With 7.8 million spins on radio, McGraw was deemed Artist of the Decade from 2000 to 2010 by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems. Along with his music, McGraw is an accomplished actor. Some of his film credits include "Country Strong," the Academy award-nominated "The Blind Side," "Four Christmases," "The Kingdom," "Flicka" and "Friday Night Lights."
With 19 years of performing under her belt, Hill has an equally impressive resume. She has sold more than 30 million records worldwide, during which time she has celebrated 13 No. 1 singles and 20 No. 1 videos. She was the first female artist to have three studio albums -- 1999's "Breathe," 2002's "Cry" and 2005's "Fireflies" -- all debut consecutively at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Pop Album chart and Country chart. Hill is a five-time Grammy award winner, who has also won three Country Music Association awards, 12 Academy of Country Music awards, four American Music awards and four People's Choice awards. Football fans will recognize Hill as the voice of NBC's Sunday Night Football's weekly show opening.
Together, these powerhouse performers create a memorable night of music. There's bound to be plenty of fun surprises in store when Hill and McGraw take the stage in Las Vegas.

It fits true to size, the shoulders are a little wider and the back does go up but I like that. I am usually a M And the M fits perfectly. It's a must if you want to layer of long dresses or maxi skirts. I'm excited to wear!

My own opinion is that I think government needs to get out of this marriage thing all together, I don't think them, church, or anyone should have a voice, accept the two people it is between. If you don't think so.. why not fight for arranged marriages again?
That said I also realize marriage by state has more to do with capital than anything else, and how society divides that up throught those two people's lives..

Texas State Aquarium Saddened by Loss of North American River Otter
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS – The Texas State Aquarium is saddened to report the passing one of our North American river otters, Dusty. Dusty arrived at TSA in June of 1996 as a pup and enjoyed a long life at the Aquarium. She was 17 years old at the time of her passing, well past the median life expectancy (MLE) for her species, which is a testament to the exceptional care she received throughout her life here at the Aquarium.
A preliminary pathology report from blood samples collected on Wednesday indicated that Dusty had leukemia. A necropsy has been performed, and the Aquarium is awaiting the pathology report to confirm the diagnosis.
The MLE for North American river otters in professional care is 12.3 years. According to National Geographic, the life expectancy for a river otter in its natural habitat is between eight and nine years. Both veterinary attention and the lack of predators are primary reasons for the longer life expectancy when in professional care.
Dusty was one of many geriatric animals living at the Aquarium. With advances in veterinary medicine, nutrition, and husbandry techniques, animals are living longer in zoos and aquariums around the nation. As a result, managers and care takers develop new ways to address the unique needs of geriatric animals.
The Texas State Aquarium family is saddened by her loss.

Payments for Environmental Services (PES) is one of many market-based policy instruments that aim at remunerating land users for the positive environmental externalities they generate through the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. PES aims to address a presumed market failure by providing financial incentives and other types of rewards (such as capacity development, knowledge sharing, risk alleviation, etc.) to land users to maintain or improve the provision of valuable environmental services. In this context, it is argued that the incentives in PES schemes to adopt sustainable agricultural practices may not just contribute to the provision of environmental services but also result in the increase of agricultural productivity. PES is therefore considered to be a tool that also promotes sustainable intensification. However, who defines 'sustainable agricultural practices, how conducive are such practices to sustainable intensification in different local contexts and what about farmer-led and private-sector led efforts to make agriculture more sustainable, are they sufficiently taken into account? PES often fails to give convincing answers to such questions. Moreover, there is so far no clear evidence that PES is able to ensure permanence of the environmental improvements beyond the initial funding phase.
The lack of financial sustainability of many PES schemes also helps explain the shift toward more broad approaches to promote sustainable rural development. Such landscape or territorial approaches take into account the positive externalities generated by innovation and entrepreneurship in rural areas. These positive externalities may comprise social benefits such as more increased employment and income in rural areas as well as environmental benefits such as more cost-effective and sustainable ways to manage local natural resources. FAO launched in mid 2012 a project which also looks at Remuneration of Positive Externalities (RPE) in a broad sense, rather than being limited to classic PES schemes. This enables the project to link the debate on ecosystem services with the debate on innovation.

When it comes to embodying the romantic symbol of the Wild West, those majestic animals are beyond compare. When it comes to determining their future in the real world, we humans leave a lot to be desired.
Today's question: What do we do with a couple of knotheads like Todd Davis and Joshua Keathley?
Last week in Reno U.S. District Court, Davis and Keathley pleaded guilty to shooting a wild mustang, which is a federal offense since the animals are officially protected. The undynamic duo used an AR-15 assault rifle and admitted in court alcohol fueled their "poor judgment" last November when the part-time trappers from Lovelock decided to shoot five horses just to watch them fall. Although five died outside Reno near the Nevada-California line, the defendants pleaded guilty to one charge each.
For Nevada U.S. Attorney Dan Bogden, the shootings constituted an egregious violation of the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. Bogden told The Associated Press, "The intentional and malicious harassment, abuse and killing of federally protected wild horses should not and will not be tolerated."
In January, the Bureau of Land Management posted a $10,000 reward for the animals' killers, and Bogden and Assistant U.S. Attorney Sue Fahami reported receiving approximately 24,000 e-mails and letters from horse lovers. For Bogden and Fahami, the prosecution was a no-brainer.
The defendants pleaded guilty to a great act of cruelty, but the fact is those wild horses are often treated more like nuisances than protected species. The BLM has the unenviable task of trying to balance the interests of cattle ranchers and sheepherders, who consider the horses large pests who compete with their livestock for precious grazing in parched Nevada, with the affections of mustang-loving environmentalists, who believe the range should remain open so the animals are actually allowed to roam free while their under government protection.
Both sides make some salient points, but each is blinded by self-interest.
Ranchers get apoplectic about the hungry horses, but the animals do less damage to the range than cattle herds. At least, that's what a 1990 study by the U.S. Government Accounting Office established.
"Wild horse behavior patterns make them somewhat less damaging than cattle to especially vulnerable range areas," the GAO report stated. It added, "Wild horse removals have taken place in some areas not being damaged by widespread overgrazing."
That was two decades ago. But, according to Deanne Stillman's "Mustang: The Saga of the Wild Horse in the American West," the BLM rejected that view, which would have made it even more unpopular with cattle ranchers and sheepherders.
Meanwhile, there's no shortage of pained expressions coming from animal rights groups and mustang activists in the environmental movement. Their problem is simple: No one has come up with a suitable solution for the fate of all those thousands of horses.
Horse adoption is a great concept but its usefulness is limited. Rounding up the animals is costly and can damage the horses. And there aren't nearly enough loving homes to go around.
The animal lovers want to hug them. The BLM wants to manage them like livestock. The ranchers want them gone.
Rancher advocate and Utah Rep. James Hansen once said, "Wild horses are like feral alley cats." A lot of Nevada ranchers agree with that perspective.
Meanwhile, when Nevada officials went looking for something that symbolized the state's Western spirit to put on its commemorative quarter, it chose those mustangs. It's the best-looking quarter in the whole collection.
With all those mixed messages, it's little wonder some malicious idiots felt free to use the wild mustangs for target practice.

Answer by Eric 12 22700 · Sep 13 '11 at 05:44 AM
For me it is protein with some fat.
Answer by David Moss 15953 · Sep 13 '11 at 05:47 AM
I think there are different forms of hunger and satiety, so you wont find a single most-satiating food. Protein is the obvious first port of call, since after a certain (pretty low) amount of protein the body will simply say "no more!". For me, 150g of protein (600 calories) in a day, pretty much hits this spot. The 'steak test' is a very good test for hunger and demonstration of the different sorts of hunger, i.e. if you feel some urge to eat something, but don't feel inclined to eat any more of a steak then (it's pretty plausible) that you're not really hungry. This is certainly true in my experience, often I will crave yoghurt or cream or cheese (all dairy notably) and many people have noted the 'still room for dessert' phenomenon, but wouldn't actually have any interest in eating some steak, butter or kidneys, in which case, it seems that I'm not really in need of protein or fat.
Man cannot live on protein alone though and despite it justly being considered very sating, I do find that if I eat only protein (e.g. after a meal with my family where the only edible foods are lean protein and a token amount of boiled vegetables, then I can feel full of protein, but crave something else (with the kind of wild, over-energised, dehydrated feeling described in rabbit starvation. (And no, it's not just dehydration, since I always drink a lot of water). More than enough protein plus a bit of something else, seems to be necessary for satiety then. In my case, fat is easily the most sating form of something else. If I'm eating no carbs then I'm literally never hungry, if I'm eating significant amounts of carbs (even with lots of fat) then I'm essentially always hungry. Of course, some people find carbs actually make you less hungry! ;) Also it's an often reported and separate phenomenon, that some people don't feel satisfied until they've had some small amount of carb, even when theyre LCing. This may be something to do with insulin.
All in all, this adds up to a prescription for adequate protein, plus (at least) a minimal amount of carbohydrate to stop your body having to make its own glucose for the brain and then fat (or starch, if that is your predilection) for the rest of your calories.
It's also worth noting that a different sort of satiety can come from having a full stomach. This seems to be the sort that modern dietary recommendations are obsessed with- hence the call for lots of fibrous, watery, non-caloric ingestibles. That this isn't the whole picture to satiety should be obvious, otherwise obesity and the symptoms of starvation alike could be cured with some water and fibre supplements. Nevertheless such foods literally do 'fill you up' so beyond considering macronutrients, it's worth eating lots of cabbage/cauliflower/brocolli etc. rather than simply adding more calories.

For me it's mashed yams/sweet potatoes with a good amount of butter, eaten with a can of sardines.
Seriously it keeps me full for longer than anything.
Answer by dzone 1145 · Sep 13 '11 at 05:43 AM
I'd have to say a good helping of protein with enough fat to satisfy, coupled with a great big leafy salad to fill the corners.
Answer by nancy64 1398 · Sep 13 '11 at 12:31 PM
Go to gnolls.org and read J Stanton's essays on hunger, "Why Are We Hungry?" He discusses the four drives: satiety, satiation, likes, and wants. These are the most thoughtful and well written explanations based on the research out there in my opinion. Good science written for the layperson.
Answer by Meghan 756 · Sep 13 '11 at 05:27 AM
I would check your micronutrient intake. Sometimes if this is satisfied, you won't need so much stomach fill. This is my experience. Also this question:

I have two: sardines and chicken liver pate made with plenty of bacon, bacon fat, butter, and duck fat.
One can of olive oil packed spicy sardines and I'm good for hours without one thought of food.
Answer by jesuisjuba - paleorepublic.com 20596 · Sep 13 '11 at 11:00 AM
I need a combination of fat/carb/protein/veg and I eat when I'm hungry and don't keep to a set meal plan. If it's not as rounded as possible then my body kind of gives a surly "heyyyy" and I will be more snacky on those days. For example, one of my main go to meals is roasted potatoes, both sweet and regular, with steak, braised kale, with a dollop of ricotta on top with a little lemon. No matter what - if that combo is together, I'm satiated for a good long time. Exit the ricotta or kale? Doesn't work the same. I noticed this with other dishes that I like so my body definitely knows what it wants.
I work out heavy four days a week and one light, in the last two weeks I've gone even heavier. I can only shove so much in at one sitting so more snacks have been in play since I upped. Examples: Dark chocolate. Coconut. Celery and almond butter. Carrots. Whey shake that I augment with fruit and spices. Mac nuts. Thinly sliced Japanese sweet potato that is roasted and almost crispy like a chip. Frozen berries. Greek yogurt with a little raw honey. Sliced meat rolled around vegetables. Cucumber.
I don't know if you're trying to lose weight or gain, or how long you've been Paleo, but I hope this helps. Pace yourself. Be thoughtful about what you're putting in, and how much are you actually eating when you do. Maybe it's not enough. Good luck!
