text: DFA Colorado Plant Named Manufacturer of the Year November 21, 2011 08:50 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email Safe Quality Food award recognizes DFA plant's commitment to quality. Source: DFA news release KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Dairy Farmers of America, Inc.'s (DFA) Fort Morgan, Colo., plant has been named a Safe Quality Food (SQF) Manufacturer of the Year as part of the organization's 2011 Quality Achievement Awards. The award was presented at the SQF International Conference held recently in St. Louis, Mo. Dave Davis, quality assurance manager; Maria Nunez, quality assurance lead; Art Soto, dryer operator; and Ricardo Valles, maintenance mechanic, attended the conference to accept the award. The awards program recognizes individuals and organizations that have contributed significantly to achieving the SQF mission of delivering consistent, globally recognized food safety and quality certification programs based on sound scientific principles, consistently applied across all industry sectors, and valued by all stakeholders. DFA's Fort Morgan plant, which recently achieved Level 3 SQF certification status, processes an average of 63 million pounds of milk per month to make whole and condensed milk, cream and nonfat dry milk. Three senior managers led the plant's SQF certification process and invested in the plant's infrastructure to ensure it exceeded the requirements of the code. "As a supplier of dairy ingredients domestically and globally, we have an important responsibility to produce products that meet stringent quality standards, and each person at the Fort Morgan facility is committed to this important initiative," said Tom Cotter, plant manager. "We are proud to be recognized for adhering to these high standards because we know that doing so translates to safe food, satisfied customers and a positive work environment." Today, employees at every level are committed to sustaining the certification and making continual improvements. All new hires are trained to understand the SQF code and their responsibility for food safety and quality. Employees participate in SQF conference calls bi-weekly, and the plant's Food Safety Team communicates to all employees changes and updates to the code. SQF certification is an initiative throughout DFA's Global Dairy Products Group (GDPG), which emphasizes operational excellence, food safety and quality. A systematic effort is under way to achieve SQF certification in all of DFA's manufacturing plants. Through GDPG, DFA produces retail cheese and butter, foodservice cheese and butter, and a wide range of dairy protein ingredients. The Cooperative's consumer brands include Borden® Cheese and Butter, Keller's® Butter, Plugra® Butter and Cache Valley® Cheese, among others. GDPG also is a leading contract manufacturer of shelf-stable products for national and international food companies. DFA is a national dairy marketing cooperative that serves and is owned by nearly 16,000 members on more than 9,000 farms in 48 states. Back to news

This is a thread where people can list their top five favorite clans(leaders not included). If you want you can give a description of why u like them.
1. La Junta - great damage and high power (also their half of my first deck so im a bit biased)
2. Gheist - great bonus and great theme
3. Skeelz - bonus makes them (and their abilities) almost impossible to stop
4. Ulu Watu - awesome bonus that makes them almost impossible to beat.
5. Jungo - cause its bonus messes with my style (almost as much as Montana's does but not enough to make me hate it)
I don't know much of all the clans so pls forgive my list if its a bit nubish .

1.bangers great power cards
2.fang pi clang 2 one hit ko cards

1) Teh l33t Montana. Been my starter deck and best clan ever since. Great for bluffing and going pill-for-pill when my bonus is active.
2) The Uppers. Outrageous bluffers, their min. of 3 is insane for 1~2 pillz fights. The fact that Jackie and Zatman are there helps too.
3) All Stars. Power manipulation, athletes, sports, hot bods, cute chicks... What's not to like? Any decent All Stars card worth their salt owns Caelus upside down, I can tell you that.
4) The scary Nightmare. High power? Check. No annoying bonuses? Check. Great damage? Check. HUGE array of useable 2*? Check. Imbalanced 5* and 4* cards? Check, check, check.
5) The militarian La Junta. The fact that nearly every card has a 2HKO combination with at least three other cards out there make the military a fine place to sign up and start causing havoc.
As a special mention, I'm sure everyone loves the Leaders as their no.1 clan. After all, I'm sure we've all used at least one leader with cards from every clan at one point or another. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise; if they do, one word: Vansaar.

1. Freaks. People do not know how to play against them
2. Piranas. With pill manipulation, sometimes winning first round leaves no chance for the opponent
3. Rescue. Badass guys, force pillz. A bit too vulnerable to SoB though
Haven't played other clans much, but I'll add 2 more anyway
4. Ulu Watu. Epic power. Maybe lack damage, but it doesn't matter when opponent can't win any round
5. Nightmare. They seem really interesting, but I can't afford them.. Yet

The Blue Note 7
As part of a seventieth year celebration for Blue Note records, the label convened a collection of younger and experienced jazz stars to play hard bop compositions closely identified with their mid-'50s to mid-'60s glory days. This kind of band has been conceived before -- remember Out of the Blue? -- but the difference is these are not new rising stars, but established musicians who have carved their own identities on other labels, except pianist and ostensible leader Bill Charlap. Trumpeter Nicholas Payton, saxophonists Steve Wilson or Ravi Coltrane, and guitarist Peter Bernstein have never recorded for Blue Note as leaders, so it is a curious collection of personnel to process as an identifiable Blue Note band. While certainly a nostalgia trip through these famous tunes, the rearrangements are at times diffuse, somewhat confusing, and lack a certain spark of originality the selections had when they were born. This is not to say the playing itself is substandard, it is far from that via these excellent jazz musicians. These are clearly reimagined tunes, faithful to the precepts of Blue Note, a slight bit cleansed and sterile, but it seems as though they are trying too hard to add new life to material that could be played straight with their own voices for maximum effect. Wilson's arrangements of Bobby Hutcherson's "Little B's Poem" and Thelonious Monk's "Criss Cross" hold the most intrigue, with the former led by his flute in an off minor treatment that strains the original melody, while the latter is a decent treatment, triggered by staggered phrasings and shifting dynamics, especially from Charlap's angular piano. Joe Henderson's "Inner Urge," arranged by Payton, deviates from the original, the melody interpreted by bassist Peter Washington, with tinkling bass and piano leading to the unified, horn-driven second chorus. Cedar Walton's "Mosaic" has Charlap unexpectedly modally morphing drummer Lewis Nash's arrangement with a denser rhythmic foundation. "The Outlaw," a lesser known Horace Silver number, has Charlap again adapting his chart to the color scheme in a feeling closer to Silver's concept. Bernstein channels Grant Green well on his light blue take of Duke Pearson's languid ballad "Idle Moments," while "Dolphin Dance" is a tick-tock, trumpet paced version that is the most updated track of the date, done without violating Herbie Hancock's aesthete. This group is a one shot, made to tour and then splinter as the bandmembers go their separate ways as leaders. They are not one notes, but likely better heard in a stretched, in-concert setting than what sounds here like an extremely controlled studio environment. Mosaic is the perfect title -- jagged edged, asymmetrical pieces laid out in organized form under a bed of black, colors popping out, intriguing, ultimately uneven. ~ Michael G. Nastos

The sentence is rather unnatural. "Hanging around" a town suggests just being there with absolutely no purpose, like teenagers do in some city centres. Given that the film Castaway was set on a desert island, I can't see any way that one could re-enact the film in a town.
May I ask if your member profile information is correct? It states you are a native English speaker from the United States and that you are currently located in the United States, but gives your status as far as the English language is concerned as "Student or learner".

The Google Nexus 7 tablet isn't quite available to the general public yet, but our Google I/O edition's just gotten an update. As you can see from the screen above, the 12.6MB update to Android 4.1.1 -- which just hit the AOSP servers yesterday -- "improves performance and responsiveness system wide." It also goes on to pimp out some of the newer features of Jelly Bean, including Google Now and the new notifications.
If you've already rooted your Nexus 7, this update will flash so long as you have stock recovery. OTA Rootkeeper works as it should, too, so you'll have no issues getting root access back. (Not that we ever though you would -- this is a Nexus after all.)
It also looks like local search is still enabled, which Jerry just finished explaining means we likely will see an update to Google's proprietary apps to get around that pesky Apple patent thing.
Also of note is that if you haven't installed Google Wallet before, it'll be there now. If there ever was a doubt Google was going to stick with its mobile payment solution, put it out of your mind.

Red Wings, Ducks battle for series lead in Game 3
The Detroit Red Wings earned a split of their first two playoff games on the road and will try to grab a lead in the Western Conference quarterfinals when they host the Anaheim Ducks in Game 3 at Joe Louis Arena.
The seventh-seeded Red Wings lost Game 1 in Anaheim by a 3-1 score on Tuesday, but rebounded with Thursday's 5-4 overtime victory at the Honda Center.
Gustav Nyquist's first career playoff goal came 1:21 into overtime to help the Red Wings take Game 2 over the second-seeded Ducks and tie the series at 1-1.
Detroit had blown a three-goal lead in the third period, but went into overtime on the power play as Sheldon Souray was whistled for slashing with 38 seconds to play in regulation. With time winding down on the man advantage, Daniel Cleary passed the puck from the right corner over to the right circle for Valtteri Filppula, who skated down low before sending it back to the left wing where Nyquist fired it in for the win.
"That was a huge goal for us and good for Gustav. Hopefully we can move forward. That was good, coming here and getting the split and going back home now," Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader said.
Damien Brunner had a goal and two assists, Johan Franzen tallied twice while Abdelkader also scored for the Red Wings, who are in the playoffs for a 22nd straight season. Jimmy Howard made 28 saves.
Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu each posted a goal and an assist, while Bobby Ryan and Ryan Getzlaf scored for the Ducks, who got 27 saves from Jonas Hiller -- including a game-saver late in the third period on Pavel Datsyuk.
"I think you're mostly disappointed every time you lose. And when you do come back to tie it, and lose it, is a little more disappointing," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said.
Detroit was 3-for-6 on the man advantage while Anaheim went 1-for-5.
The Red Wings lost Danny DeKeyser to a broken right thumb in the third period of Thursday's game and the rookie defenseman is expected to miss the rest of the playoffs. DeKeyser made the jump from the NCAA to the NHL this season after playing three years at Western Michigan.
This is the sixth playoff meeting between the Red Wings and Ducks, who met five times in the postseason from 1997-2009. Detroit has won three of the five series and beat Anaheim in seven games when the clubs last met in the 2009 conference semifinals
The Red Wings, who will also host Game 4 on Monday, were 13-7-4 at Joe Louis Arena this season. Anaheim was 14-5-5 on the road.

Over Coming Bad Habits
Understanding how 'Success Through Change' Hypnotherapy Cds work and how they might help you ----- People are often caused distress or pain due to counterproductive habits which at one time served a useful purpose. Hypnotherapy provides an opportunity for each individual to lessen or eliminate discomfort in life and experience life in a new way. 'Conscious' mind functions are those of which we are 'aware' at any given time. The 'unconscious' is that which is 'out of awareness.' The conscious mind is the seat of 'free will.' People have a powerful free will, but the patterns which have been formed in the unconscious are more powerful. The unconscious is often directed to obtain that which the imagination is focused upon. It overrides the conscious decision of the free will. Everything works just fine unless there is a program in the unconscious which causes an unwanted outcome. Regardless of the outcome, the unconscious program keeps running. People react with thoughts, feelings and behaviors based upon unconscious patterns. Insight and understanding into the past won't change the present! Clinical hypnosis interrupts old patterns and assists in establishing new actions and reactions which are rewarding. It expands an individual's possibilities and choices. Hypnotherapy uncovers and encourages possibilities of thought, feeling and behavior which previously were unavailable. It is a safe and empowering process. The individual is in control at all times. The entire process is explained thoroughly on the CD. These hypnotherapy instruments are hypnotic and are NEVER to be used in situations where it might be unwise or dangerous to have less than full conscious awareness (such as driving or working). They are to be used in situations where the individual is safe to relax and focus inwardly. Some typical comments of previous clients: - 'It is as if I never smoked. I wish I would have known about this before.' - 'My sales have really improved. I have so much more confidence in myself and my energy - wow!' - 'I felt very down before I listened to my first session. After that I felt great, and did for days. With each session, I feel better and my self-esteem grows.' Success using the cds: Success is dependent upon your willingness and commitment to use the CDs. Hypnotherapy interrupts previously developed patterns which have contributed to unwanted behaviors and problems such as continued smoking, extra weight, anxiety, stress and various other issues. Hypnotherapy also assists in the establishment of new patterns which are healthier and more productive. Instead of consciously concentrating on the unwanted behaviors, the individual unconsciously focuses on new behaviors and thoughts which bring about health, vitality and increased life satisfaction. John W. Doan: MS, CADC III, NCAC II, MAC, KCGC, AAPS, SAP, NBCCH has many years of experience in hypnotherapy is the developer and hypnotherapist of these hypnotherapy instruments. John has a BA degree in Psychology and a MS degree in Counseling and Human Resource Development. He is board certified as a 'fellow' in Clinical Hypnotherapy, the highest level of achievement. He is certified in Kansas as an Addictions Counselor and Gambling Counselor, as well as nationally as a Master Addiction Counselor. All of our Hypnotherapy CDs are professionally recorded and mastered in a state-of-the-art sound studio by expert sound technicians. They are professionally manufatured and packed for quality and effectiveness.

John Thain, a Rita's Water Ice franchisee who planned to open a new location at Chestnut Hill Plaza in the former home of TLA Video, said he has canceled the project after Trolley Car Diner owner Ken Weinstein challenged his right to operate the store based on a decade's old restrictive covenant.
"I have to pull the plug," he said. "The good news is I'm not going out of business because of this, but I'd rather have spent the money [in architects and legal fees] on a charity."
Thain, a former Chestnut Hill resident, had secured the endorsement of both the Chestnut Hill Community Association and the Chestnut Hill Business Association in December of last year. Neighbors of the property had signed off on an exemption to a restrictive covenant that expressly forbade the leasing of any part of the property at 7630 Germantown Ave. to a fast food franchise.
The CHCA's Land Use Planning and Zoning committee reviewed that covenant and decided Rita's deserved an exemption because it was only serving water ice and after Thain agreed to a number of provisions to keep the lot and nearby property quiet and clean.
Long after that, however, Weinstein informed Thain that he planned to pursue legal action against Thain based on a restrictive covenant. Although nearby neighbors had approved the Rita's opening, the covenant granted legal standing to any resident or business within 750 feet of the property.
"Every legal expert I talked to said we could definitely overturn that covenant," Thain said. "But it's a matter of timing. It might take until June or July. I think Weinstein knew this and he's getting the result he expected."
Weinstein was clear that he never actually filed anything. He admitted to making the threat but said that was the extent of any "legal actions" on his part. He also said that he has received resounding encouragement and support from people who believed, as he did, that a seasonal chain business was not good for the neighborhood.
Weinstein, however, said he did not consider news that Thain was withdrawing his plans a victory in any way.
"We won't have a victory until we find a long-term, suitable tenant for that space," he said. "We didn't need a tenant that would have been closed four months out of every year."
Weinstein dismissed charges that he only threatened legal action because he was concerned the Rita's would offer stiff competition to his ice cream business.
"I know there's plenty of room in the neighborhood for multiple restaurants and ice cream businesses," he said. "The thing is I was the only person within 750 feet who could challenge Rita's."
Thain said he believed that one good thing to come out of the situation is that the CHCA and CHBA will reconsider restrictive covenants up and down Germantown Avenue and revue any existing ones to see if they still make sense.
"I though the CHCA and CHBA did a remarkable job," he said. "People have said that it's tough to do business in Chestnut Hill, but I think those organizations, especially the LUPZ, put a lot of hard work and thought into the process."
Thain said that, even though the failed bid to open in Chestnut Hill Plaza cost him $10,000, what he's mostly disappointed about is losing the opportunity to open a new franchise this year. He has the rights to Rita's franchises in Northwest Philadelphia and believes there's a good opportunity in Chestnut Hill.
"I've done the research," he said. "I have identified a market here. If another space becomes available I will open. Ken might feel he staved off the competition, but it's only temporary."

The Asian monsoon dominates the climate of Southeast Asia. From roughly mid-April to September, it is rainy and hot; from November to mid-March, it is cooler and dry. Late in the dry season, fires both intentional and accidental become widespread as people use burning to clear and maintain agricultural and residential landscapes.
This image of fires burning throughout Burma (Myanmar) and Thailand was acquired on March 22, 2013, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite. MODIS detects fires not from visible smoke plumes, but from thermal infrared energy radiating from the land surface. The heat is invisible in images like this, but the locations where MODIS detected fires are labeled with red dots.
In permanently cultivated (usually lowland) areas, fires are used to burn crop residues and get the land ready for the growing season. In urban and residential areas, people burn leaves, trash, and brush. In the mountains, fires may indicate permanent conversion of forest to agricultural land or they may be associated with shifting cultivation, also known as swidden farming. In this system, patches of forest are cyclically cut down, burned, cultivated, and then left fallow for a time. Secondary forest or other vegetation reclaims the clearing during the fallow period.
The fires in this region have been part of the land management practices for hundreds to thousands of years, and they are not necessarily hazardous...at least not immediately. Fires have a big influence on air quality and human health, greenhouse gas emissions, the carbon cycle, and biodiversity.
"Temperature inversions that cause significant haze to build up near the surface that far exceed regional air quality standards often occur around this time of year," explained Ritesh Gautam, a NASA atmospheric scientist. "The amount of smoke in the atmosphere usually peaks in March and April, though it depends somewhat on the timing of the monsoon,"

Digital Twins and Model-Based Battery Design
Ed Fontes February 20, 2019
We've already determined that the concept of digital twins is more than just hype. In this blog post, we discuss how high-fidelity multiphysics models can be combined with lightweight models and measured data to create digital twins that can be used to understand, predict, optimize, and control the real system and the model of the real system. This is exemplified with a battery pack for hybrid vehicles.Read More
Pär Persson Mattsson June 12, 2018
In a previous blog post, we explained how to run a job from the COMSOL Multiphysics® software on clusters directly from the COMSOL Desktop® environment, without any interaction with a Linux® operating system terminal. Since this terminal is sometimes treated with excessive respect, the ability to start a cluster job directly from the graphical user interface is one of the most useful features in the COMSOL® software. Plus, there's more to it… Enter the Cluster Sweep node.Read More
Lars Drögemüller March 9, 2018
Many types of analyses benefit from running the COMSOL Multiphysics® software on high-performance computing (HPC) hardware. This is one of the main reasons behind the Cluster Computing node, which helps seamlessly integrate the COMSOL® software with any kind of HPC infrastructure, while maintaining the convenience of a graphical user interface. In this blog post, learn how to run large simulations remotely on HPC hardware directly from the COMSOL Desktop® graphical environment.Read More
Pär Persson Mattsson February 20, 2015
We have previously written about HPC with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, clusters, and hybrid computing. But not all of us have a cluster available in the office (or the hardware to build a Beowulf cluster). So what possibilities do we have if we really need that extra compute power that a cluster can give us? One solution is to utilize cloud computing, a service that provides compute power on a temporary basis, to give our computations and productivity a boost.Read More
Walter Frei October 24, 2014
One of the most common questions we get is: How large of a model can you solve in COMSOL Multiphysics? It turns out that this is quite tricky to answer decisively, so in this blog entry, we will talk about memory requirements, model size, and how you can predict the amount of memory you will need for solving large 3D finite element problems.Read More
Walter Frei October 7, 2014
People are always asking how the performance of COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software will improve on a parallel system, especially now that large multi-core desktop computers are relatively inexpensive and it's easy to rent time on cloud services like the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud™. It turns out, though, that it's not always possible to get faster performance just by throwing more hardware at the problem. To understand why, let's take a conceptual look at computers and the algorithms COMSOL® software uses.Read More
Fabian Scheuren June 23, 2014
One of the main issues with high-power electrical devices is thermal management. Together with BLOCK Transformatoren-Elektronik GmbH, we created a model using COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software that encompasses all of the important details when modeling heating of high-power electrical devices. To do so, we had to utilize high performance computing (HPC) with hybrid modeling. Here, we will discuss how to approach this real-life task with the COMSOL software.Read More
Pär Persson Mattsson April 11, 2014
Many of us need up-to-date software and hardware in order to work efficiently. Therefore, we need to follow the pace of technological development. But, what should we do with the outdated hardware? It feels wasteful to send the old hardware to its grave or to just put it in a corner. Another, more productive, solution is to use the old hardware to build a Beowulf cluster and use it to speed up computations.Read More
Thorsten Koch March 27, 2014
To keep up with today's fast-paced development cycles, R&D engineers and scientists need efficient tools to provide answers quickly and free them from routine tasks. COMSOL Multiphysics® has built-in features like parametric sweeps to increase simulation productivity. In addition to graphical modeling, COMSOL offers an Application Programming Interface (API) that you can use to automate any repetitive modeling step. Here's how to get started with the COMSOL API for use with Java®.Read More
Pär Persson Mattsson March 20, 2014
One thing we haven't talked much about so far in the Hybrid Modeling blog series is what speedup we can expect when adding more resources to our computations. Today, we consider some theoretical investigations that explain the limitations in parallel computing. We will also show you how to use the COMSOL software's Batch Sweeps option, which is a built-in, embarrassingly parallel functionality for improving performance when you reach these limits.Read More
Jan-Philipp Weiss March 6, 2014
Previously in this blog series, my colleague Pär described parallel numerical simulations with COMSOL Multiphysics on shared and distributed memory platforms. Today, we discuss the combination of these two methods: hybrid computing. I will try to shed some light onto the various aspects of hybrid computing and modeling, and show how COMSOL Multiphysics can use hybrid configurations in order to squeeze out the best performance on parallel platforms.Read More

I have never read a book about sailing. This book reminds me of when I watched sail boats sail when I was at the park when I was younger. When they set sail it was beautiful because they used pretty orange and pink colors. The author did a great job of describing the flowers and the sail boats. My favorite character was the little boy because he was adventurous. My favorite scene was when the little boy stopped at the big patch of flowers.
I would recommend this book to a 7 year old. I think a lot of seven year olds should read Sailing to the Sea because it is a very entertaining book. I love the setting of the book. They made the water very detailed.

We are three 20 something year old health conscious guys who sell nutritional supplements. We are building a website to educate people on the health benefits of increasing their glutathione levels. The planned tag line for the site is "Straight facts on glutathione and why you can't live without it." We will be sharing our message through entertaining and educational videos, audios, webinars and e-books.
Our target market is everyone as everyone from infants to the elderly benefit greatly from high levels of glutathione. Our marketing will focus on people with major health issues like MS, cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. We will be targeting people how are looking for alternative treatments. These people will likely be open minded and hopeful yet very cautious.
Most health sites feel sterile and impersonal. We want to avoid this at all costs. We want to feel more like a social media site and feel warm and personal. We don't want to make our selves out as "experts" who tell you how it is but rather trusted friends who are engaging you in a stimulating conversation.
The logo should be clean, modern and feel like a social media logo (facebook, twitter, metacafe)
I have attached some logos that we like.
The primary colors we are looking at using are:
but we are open to other ideas.
The logo should stand alone but easily incorporate out tag line "Straight facts on glutathione and why you can't live without it."
The logo could incorporate the molecular structure of Glutathione (google it)
We want a fully editable, layered PSD, AI, or EPS file.

Concept Art Variety Show/
All right, this is new for me but I'm going themeless today. There's no underlying theme that ties all of these designs together. They're simply the ones I chose to post today.
First up are the Carolina Hurricanes.
Here we have a couple of different designs. They have their similarities but overall are nothing like each other. I like the one with the red shoulders better.
Also a pretty sharp Phoenix Coyotes concept was recently submitted.
Consider me a fan. I've been starting to see that is it possible to use the PHX logo on the front of the jersey. Didn't think it would look good at first.
That looks cool too. I especially like the non-traditional sand color for the sweater.
Finally, we're going all retro on you with these Los Angeles Kings jersey designs.
The yellow one makes me laugh and laugh. But shockingly, none of them suck. Maybe even the Kings have a potentially good alternate in their future.
Time will tell. Hope you enjoyed today's crop. Keep sending in your work and I'll keep posting it.

Each year around the date of Halloween, the number of cameos in the various webcomics swell as the eldritch magic of that particular event breaks down the boundaries between webcomics and characters can freely move from comic to comic, dress up and partake in parties of filler-specials all over the worlds of webcomics!
Interactions are something most people never get tired of, so we'll like to promote this great cameo-opportunity by inviting all webcomic-artists and their characters to take part in the annual Halloween Cameo Caper!
The basic idea is to gather all the participating characters in a chosen setting that each year is settled by a poll in the Caper's Forum, and here they'll all, on the day of Halloween, have a great party together, a party that will spread all through the participating comics!
Each artist will draw a strip, featuring his, hers or its (this is webcomic business after all!) characters, as well as many of the other artists' characters (or at least characters from as many other strips) as possible! The strip will then be posted at the artist's site at the day of Halloween, either as a filler-strip, canon-strip or something more exclusive, some might just settle for a forum-posted drawing.
However, for inventive artists, the occasion might even turn out to take the form as a minor plotline, or... a collective crossover between a whole set of comics in a joined storyline leading up to the day of Halloween? The possibilities are many and can and will be taken up in the forums as the day approaches!
As the stories proceeds, leading up to Halloween, the site for the Halloween Caper will update with links to all the participating comics, and when Halloween of the year is history, the will still celebrate and immortalize the event for the entire world by linking and keeping the strips that may disappear from their original sites over the passage of time.
The essence of it all is for everybody, artist and readers alike, to have fun! To try ones skill at drawing others characters and to see them interact!
... besides that, it's also a great way to promote ones own comic!
So, this year we will try going for the third Caper in a row, the two previous ones can be found here and here.
At the moment the place for hosting this year's Caper are to be found. The previous years we visited the town of Shelterville in the Old Wild West and Disneyland orbiting a distant planet in the far future... where to hold it this year?
The hosting-discussion is mainly taking place in the Caper's Forum here, in this thread to be more precise, but any suggestions place in the thread here will also be added to the poll for the site-placement that will begin after the 17th of February. When the place has been found, its time to sign up and start planning!
... more on the latter later
Thanks for you cooperation! See you at the Caper!

What's the Beef With Milk Sugar?
Did you know that there is a naturally occurring "sugar" in milk, called lactose? Lactase is an enzyme in our bodies that allows us to digest this milk sugar.
Ever heard of an allergy to milk? Apparently, it's not an allergy after all because there is, "not an immune response". (USA Today)
A milk "allergy"is more correctly defined as lactose intolerance: "Lactose intolerance is the inability to metabolize lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products, because the required enzyme lactase is absent in the intestinal system or its availability is lowered. It is estimated that 75% of adults worldwide show some decrease in lactase activity during adulthood."
I came across an interesting article about milk sugar that discusses this in more detail:
"People who are lactose intolerant can't digest the main sugar -lactose- found in milk. In normal humans, the enzyme that does so -lactase- stops being produced when the person is between two and five years old. The undigested sugars end up in the colon, where they begin to ferment, producing gas that can cause cramping, bloating, nausea, flatulence and diarrhea."
For more information than you ever wanted to know about lactase, the enzyme (that we don't all have, and have in differing amounts) allowing us to digest milk products, check out this article in the European Journal of Human Genetics. "Most people cannot drink milk as adults without the symptoms of lactose intolerance, and most lactose intolerance is due to absence of the lactase enzyme in the gut."
I'll continue to get my "natural" sugars elsewhere.

I hate drinking cow's milk and will opt for almond when I can...but I just read that the change in cow's milk made by cultures when it is made into yogurt makes it a "good" food or at least less mucous forming.
More fascinating still is that I was reading about it moments before I read this most recent post...so I think it's uncanny...

That is incorrect. You can have an allergy to milk proteins. It is not as common as lactose intolerance but it does occur as an allergy with all the hallmarks of allergic reaction.

I love milk- couldn't live without it and I know I'll be thankful in old age that I am not hunched over and crippled. It may not be right for everyone, but I choose to keep dairy a part of my diet, daily.

KitchenSink-That is uncanny! I have eaten "Nancy's" yogurt off and on and I like it because it's really high in acidophilus and she uses a little honey to sweeten with or none at all. Honestly, my goal is to find milk substitutes....for my coffee, my cereal, cream soups, etc.
anastasia-I'm definitely not the expert on milk!
KRae-Interesting. What sorts of milk substitutes do you use?
Holly-Again, I'm not an expert on milk, but I am annoyed by the Dairy Council ads trying to convince us that milk is the nectar of life. There are so many other ways to get calcium, which is really important to the large percentage of people who are lactose intolerant.
According the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, these are the calcium absorption rates for the following foods:
"brussel sprouts: 63.8 percent
mustard greens 57.8 percent
broccoli 52.6 percent
turnip greens 51.6 percent
kale 50 percent
cow's milk 32 percent"
(The Food Revolution, by John Robbins, pg. 101)
Also, the American Journal of Public Health published a study called "Milk, Dietary Calcium, and Bone Fractures in Women..." and concluded that there was "no evidence at all that higher intakes of milk reduced osteoporosis or bone fracture incidence. In fact, the study found that the relative risk of hip fracture for women who drink two glasses or more of milk per day was 1.45 times higher than for those who drink one glass or less per week."

Wow, I am so glad I found your blog. In Jan of 2008 I also quit eating refined sugar and lasted a good 8 months. I fell off the wagon and went down hill. I started again today and will use some of your recipes and advice.

I haven't felt a need for milk substitutes. I just avoided the things we associate with milk: cereal, coffee, etc.
I found a doctor who offers treatment for allergies, and I can now tolerate milk in a cappuccino or even small amounts of ice cream (just a couple of years ago, I couldn't keep ice cream down). The lactose intolerance thing is still an issue though.
I'm definitely with you that dairy is not necessary to avoid osteoporosis. Vitamin D and exercise are much more important.

We learned much about lactose/milk sugar when our son had a bad reaction to it, oddly enough he and I can not eat any form of refined sugar either.. But, did you know that raw milk has no lactose? Lactose is made present when the milk is cooked, ie pasteurized.

- My Year Without said...
Robyn-Good for you for starting up again! Let me know how it goes this time around, and if I can be of more help!
K.Rae-Yeah...I tried giving up coffee again, but didn't notice a huge benefit to NOT drinking it (1 little cup a day!) so now I'm happily back drinking my morning jo with a little unsweetened, organic vanilla almond milk. It's perfect.
Kendra-Hmmmm, like I've mentioned before, I'm no milk expert, but I believe that lactose is present in all milk, including raw milk. I'm curious where you got your information that pasteurizing milk caused it to appear? I just copied this statement from wikipedia, "Infant mammals nurse on their mothers to drink milk, which is rich in the carbohydrate lactose."
Anyway, that's interesting!

I know it sounds weird, I was skeptical when I first heard it too.. You can read more about it Here and in the book entitled Real Food What To Eat & Why. It's not a quick read, but it is interesting and includes information about not eating refined and sugary.. By the way, I've been enjoying your blog for a long time. I stumbled upon it last year when I was desperately searching for sugar-free recipes. I not keep my own recipe bank going (many of which I've created) because there was so little out there when we gave up sugar.

Our family switched to raw milk last spring. Now, we don't touch the pasturized stuff with a ten foot pole. We also turn a good bit of that raw milk into raw kefir. Raw milk is very different from pasteurized (read: processed) milk. www.realmilk.org

One of the main reasons I went from vegetarian to vegan is the dairy issue. I am lactose intolerant as all get-out. It is wonderful to just use almond/rice/hemp etc. milk and vegan stuff rather than fight illness and use OTC drugs to cope with dairy.

1. Whether the sentencing factors relied upon by the sentencing court constitute substantial and compelling reasons for departure is a question of law, over which an appellate court exercises unlimited review.
2. Comments at the time of sentencing, not the written journal entry, govern as to reasons for departure.
3. Evidence of gang membership must be relevant to the issues presented at sentencing.
4. There is no basis for distinguishing between guilt and sentencing phases in a criminal case so far as the protection of the Fifth Amendment privilege is concerned.
5. A sentencing court may not draw an adverse inference from a defendant's silence in determining facts relating to the circumstances and details of the crime.
6. A defendant's apparel at sentencing and his or her failure to disavow gang membership do not constitute substantial and compelling reasons to support a departure sentence.
Appeal from Osborne District Court; CHARLES E. WORDEN, judge. Opinion filed April 13, 2001. Sentence vacated and case remanded.
Keith E. Renner, of Barnett & Renner, P.A., of Auburn, for appellant.
Paul S. Gregory, county attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before KNUDSON, P.J., LEWIS, J., and WARREN M. WILBERT, District Judge, assigned.
WILBERT, J.: Richard B. Aikman appeals after being resentenced for felony possession of marijuana and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Initially, Aikman was sentenced to serve 12 months in the county jail for possession of drug paraphernalia, while probation was granted on the felony possession of marijuana charge. Finding the misdemeanor sentence to be oppressive, Aikman appealed both sentences to the Court of Appeals.
A panel of this court vacated Aikman's original sentences in State v. Aikman, No. 82,621, unpublished opinion filed December 23, 1999, (Aikman I) and remanded to the district court for resentencing. In Aikman I, we held the sentencing court's determination that a belt buckle worn by the defendant at sentencing was gang related constituted error. We further held the sentencing court erred in considering unsworn testimony indicating drug usage by the defendant. Upon remand, the sentencing court imposed a harsher sentence: 12 months in prison and a concurrent sentence of 12 months in the county jail. Not surprisingly, the defendant has once again appealed the sentences imposed.
We reverse both sentences and remand for resentencing.
This court has the authority to correct, modify, vacate, or reverse any sentence that may be illegal or an abuse of discretion. K.S.A. 60-2101(a).
Aikman contends he did not originally appeal the sentence imposed for the felony; therefore, the district court was without authority to resentence him on that charge. The notice of appeal filed in the original case appealed the sentence handed down by the district court without specifying which sentence was being appealed. Aikman's brief filed in the original case argued the issue of whether sentencing him to the maximum for the misdemeanor when there was also a felony charge violated the policy underlying K.S.A. 21-4601.
Aikman did not specify in his original notice of appeal which sentence he was appealing, and this court vacated the entire sentence. The district court possessed the authority to resentence on both counts.
Appellate review of a departure sentence is limited to whether the
sentencing court's findings of fact and reasons justifying a departure are supported by evidence in the record and constitute substantial and compelling reasons for departure. K.S.A. 21-4721(d). The district court must state on the record the substantial and compelling reasons for departure. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4716(a). Whether the factors relied upon by the court constitute substantial and compelling reasons for departure is a question of law, over which this court exercises unlimited review. State v. Jackson, 262 Kan. 119, 134, 936 P.2d 761 (1997). "Comments at the time of sentencing, not the written journal entry, govern as to reasons for departure." 262 Kan. at 135.
The district court's comments throughout the sentencing hearing made it clear the reason for the departure was the belt buckle Aikman wore, which the court interpreted to mean he was involved with the Sons of Silence. When asked by Aikman's counsel the reasons for departure, the court stated that the factors were the nature of the crime as a drug case where the original charge involved the sale of marijuana, convictions for drug offenses, and Aikman's apparel indicating involvement in a gang that sells, manufactures, and distributes drugs. When actually sentencing Aikman, the district court stated:
"The Court finds that based upon the evidence presented, the showing the Court of the displaying the gang colors, Sons of Silence, the case law presented, the opportunity to disavow any interest in that particular group, the Court finds that is sufficient basis to depart for a dispositional, not a durational."
In the Journal Entry of Sentencing, the court, in the only passage that discusses departure, states: "[T]he Court states that there was sufficient basis and departure for the Sentence had on December 16, 1998, and no disavowance for the 'Sons of Silence' gang colors." It is clear the district court was relying on Aikman's alleged involvement with this gang as its basis for departure. Previous references at Aikman's original sentencing regarding a positive drug test are not referred to at resentencing. The only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that the court departed based on Aikman's alleged involvement with the Sons of Silence. A review of the record from the resentencing establishes there is absolutely no evidence to support a finding that Aikman belonged to the Sons of Silence. Merely wearing apparel cannot be interpreted as evidence of membership. Further, evidence of gang membership must be relevant to the issues presented at sentencing. Dawson v. Delaware, 503 U.S. 159, 164, 117 L. Ed. 2d 309, 112 S. Ct. 1093 (1992).
We also note that during resentencing, the district court asked Aikman if he would like to make a statement denying involvement with the Sons of Silence. Aikman declined.
"A sentencing court may not draw an adverse inference from a defendant's silence in determining facts relating to the circumstances and details of the crime. The normal rule in a criminal case permits no negative inference from a defendant's failure to testify. See Griffin v. California, 380 U.S. 609, 614[, 14 L. Ed. 2d 106, 85 S. Ct. 1229, reh. denied 381 U.S. 957 (1965)]. A sentencing hearing is part of the criminal case, and the concerns mandating the rule against negative inferences at trial apply with equal force at sentencing. This holding is a product not only of Griffin but also of Estelle's conclusion that there is no basis for distinguishing between a criminal case's guilt and sentencing phases so far as the protection of the Fifth Amendment privilege is concerned. There is little doubt that the rule against adverse inferences has become an essential feature of the Nation's legal tradition, teaching that the Government must prove its allegations while respecting the defendant's individual rights." Mitchell v. United States, 526 U.S. 314, 315-16, 143 L. Ed. 2d 424, 119 S. Ct. 1307 (1999).
From the language of the Journal Entry of Sentencing, we note the district court made a negative inference from Aikman's refusal to disavow affiliation with the Sons of Silence. Under Mitchell, this is impermissible.
In the original sentencing, the district court did not even consider departure for the felony conviction. Upon the first sentence being vacated and remanded for resentencing, the district court announced its intent to depart on the felony, which was presumed probation. The district court's apparent determination to use Aikman's apparel, which the district court assumed demonstrated an affiliation with the Sons of Silence, as a basis for departure when there was no other evidence to support such action illustrates prejudice towards the defendant. The record contains no factors which the district court could have used as a basis for a departure in this case.
Last, Aikman asks this court to consider the appropriate end date for a term of probation. Because of our decision upon the other issues in this appeal, we will leave this determination to the district court upon resentencing.
Aikman's sentences are vacated, and we remand for resentencing by the district court to be consistent with this opinion and our opinion in Aikman I.

For the New York Mets it might have been "Matt Harvey Day,'' but Mariano Rivera stole the night. It isn't often you can orchestrate things in Major League Baseball, but that's what happened. While no player is bigger than the game, there are some who define it by their presence and their greatness transcends the moment.
There was Ted Williams in 1999, surrounded by both teams in the Fenway Park infield. The Team of the Century Game, you might recall. They didn't even need the game, they would have cheered Williams all night.
It was that way when Cal Ripken's streak was broken and Joe Torre's Yankees stood at the top step of their Camden Yards dugout in a long ovation. And, how about Ripken's last All-Star Game, when he homered in Seattle?
Great theatre and it was such when Rivera ran out for the eighth inning and took his bows with nobody else on the diamond. That was symbolic as there is nobody like Rivera. For nearly two minutes they cheered the greatest closer in history. It didn't matter he was a Yankee; all of baseball honored him.
"I didn't know how to act,'' Rivera said. "At that moment, I didn't know what to do. It almost made me cry. It was close. It was amazing. I will never forget that.''
As he often has, Rivera set the side down in order 1-2-3, and as he jogged off the field, Tigers first baseman Prince Fielder – whose father, Cecil, won a World Series ring with Rivera – pressed the ball in the modest closer's glove.
Justin Verlander greeted Rivera first after the eighth with a long embrace. I couldn't help but wonder if Verlander whispered in his ear, "I wish you had been on my team all these years.''
Then again, there's probably not a starter in the game who hasn't wondered the same.
American League manager Jim Leyland is as old school as they come, but did a marvelous job planning the moment. Ideally, it should have been the ninth inning, but if the National League had taken the lead Rivera wouldn't have gotten in the game.
"I wanted to make sure I got out of here alive,'' Leyland said.
It was interesting to see Rivera's peers – the opponents he has tormented over the years – respond to him. The Orioles Chris Davis could be seen shooting a video of Rivera on his cell phone. David Wright would tell Rivera how proud he was of how he handled himself.
"Things like that, that come from young boys like that, it is good,'' Rivera said. "They know why you do it. That's great.''
While others had a bigger role in the game's outcome, Rivera was voted the Most Valuable Player in a gesture of appreciation and respect.
With Rivera working the eighth, it was Joe Nathan who pitched the ninth to earn his first All-Star save. The ball will never make Nathan's mantle as he gave it to Rivera.
"It showed respect to me,'' Rivera would say. "It was a classy thing to do.''
Classy and respect. That's what Rivera has always been about.

Boost business with LFD performance
1. Built to last –
Certain LFDs have been designed to maintain a high performance that can last for extended periods of time. This ability to last 24/7 is especially helpful for businesses with unusual trading hours and obviously for environments that are open all the time. For example, LFDs prove to be extremely useful in airports where they are needed either constantly or for very long periods of time.
2. Easy controls –
With larger business operations, the logistics involved with updating the content on all of their screens can be too much to handle and often quite expensive. With LFDs, they can be conveniently remote controlled from a central computer programme. This allows for a cost effective way to managing everything from in-store promotions to important business announcements.
3. Handle the elements –
Sometimes to be successful in business you have to quite literally handle the elements. LFD outdoor screens are designed to withstand everything from wind, rain, extreme heat to vandalism. This not only cuts down on repair costs but also ensures that your business can maintain commercial presence, which can be a handy edge over the competition.
4. Interactivity –
LFD screens also offer touch screen technology, which offers a whole new exciting side to reaching audiences. This technology can be tailored to meet a variety of business requirements, ranging from standard touch screen interaction, which are commonly found in shopping centres, to the latest touch screen vending machines, which are already finding their way into cinemas complexes. Touch screen technology is certainly full of exciting possibilities.
5. The big picture –
Perhaps the most impressive feature of the LFD is its ability to create matrix screens. With slim bezels and innovative interconnecting frames, creating super-screens is a simple task. Matrix formations can be of whatever size you wish and the content can then be formatted to fit perfectly. So, if it is impact that you are looking for, then look no further.

I am just blown away by this thread. The earliest we get Torpedo is 6 months after bottling. It's, seriously, totally great and absolutely drinkable. If you don't wanna sell that beer that was bottled a little over _three months ago_ feel free to send it to me, I'll pay your postage.
Stored cold? (shelf AND back room are cold) - 3 months maxStored warm? 60 days maxNo code, no buy.
Not that I'm that much of a stickler for 'authenticity' but IPA was, after all, originally an aged style (aka, 'stock ale') to begin with. I rarely drink my homebrewed IPA any younger than 8 months; it's brewed with that factor in mind, and after the long aging it's hoppier and more aromatic than any modern commercial one I've yet tried.

The Mystery of Armstrong Mountain: Has Prehistoric Site Been Stripped?
March 5, 1970
The Mystery of Armstrong Mountain: Has Prehistoric Site Been Stripped?
Montgomery - West Virginia's most intriguing prehistoric ruin, a mountaintop Stonehenge that baffles archeologists, may have been turned into a strip mine.
Some archeology fans say they can no longer find it since the area was stripped.
But coal company officers swear their bulldozers never touched the ruin - "and besides, nobody ever could find it, even before we started to work."
AT ISSUE are the mysterious stone-works on Armstrong Mountain east of Montgomery. They are - or were, as the case may be - a long, long windrow of piled up stones snaking about 10 miles around the brow of the mountain, enclosing the summit. They're called the Armstrong Mountain "walls," even though the rocks were only a heap, at best.
The first white settlers in the Kanawha Valley reported finding the strange stone ridge - and Indians were recorded as saying it existed before the Indians came. Archeologists have speculated it may have been built by an offbeat tribe of mound-builders, or by "archaic people who preceded the mound-builders."
It is believed that the mountaintop enclosure had some connection with the Fort Ancient village on Kanawha River at the base of Armstrong Mountain which was occupied by different races of aborigines for at least 1,000 years before white men came.
The purpose of the stone-works never has been fathomed. Researchers say the ridge would have been useless for defense and couldn't have worked as a fence for livestock. It's speculated that the enclosure may have been a primitive religious center, perhaps for sun worship on the hilltop.
Whatever it was, it required generations of backbreaking labor by the long-vanished people, for the "walls" contained thousands of tons of stones carried from a wide area.
Ever since the 1890s, various teams of archeologists have inspected the stone-works.
AT THAT SAME period, strip mining of the mountain was started by Hawks Nest Mining Co. of Montgomery. It performed the work through various contractor firms. The current contractor is Whitesville A&S (auger and strip) Inc., owned by State Sen. Tracy W. Hylton of Mullens.
In the mid-1960's, the Rev. Stacy Grosscup a member of the state archeological society, warned that the "mystery walls" might be in danger. At his request, the state Antiquities Commission wrote to the coal firm and urged great caution. The firm replied that it would strive to avoid the walls.
The first report that the walls have been destroyed came a few weeks ago. Several traveling Mormon evangelists sought to visit the site because of their belief that Jesus came to America after his resurrection and visited an advanced civilization here. They said they were told by nearby residents that the walls had been wiped out by strip mine.
Gordon Woods, assistant professor of political science at West Virginia Tech, also thinks the stripping has obliterated the archeological site. An outdoorsman who has made many treks onto Armstrong Mountain, he says the stone-works have vanished since the mining began. He said he and young hikers have "gone over the whole mountain" and can find only a few unrecognizable sections of rubble.
West Virginia Tech basketball coach Goodrich "Pete" Phillips, an archeology fan, accompanied Woods and newsmen onto the mountain Tuesday. The only supposed remnant of the stone-works that could be found was a 20-foot sprawl of rocks beside a bulldozed road.
ON THE OTHER hand, two officers of Hawks Nest Mining Co. insisted Wednesday that the mystery walls haven't been harmed - even though both said they weren't sure exactly where the walls were located.
President E.E. Stephens of Kimberly said he never had been able to find any of the ruins "except about 100 feet of old loose rocks in one place."
Vice President Gordon Billheimer of Montgomery said he is sure that his work superintendents have enforced a pledge which the Hawks Nest firm made to the Antiquities Commission. The pledge was that "if we ran into the wall, we'd cut through it only once in order to get around it."
Billheimer acknowledged that, because of the deteriorated condition of the stone-works, it's possible that crews might not have recognized them and bulldozed right through.
Even so, Billheimer said he thinks the stripping has been farther away from the river than the site of the walls.
THE ARMSTRONG Mountain mystery walls apparently aren't unique. A similar situation, with a prehistoric village at the base of a hill, has been found at Fort Hill, Ohio.
Ohioans preserved their hill and installed a museum there.
West Virginians used their hill for a strip mine.

Salt & Pepper Shakers
No meal is complete without the proper seasoning, and Pottery Barn offers a number of contemporary, elegant and holiday salt and pepper shakers to decorate your tables and counters, and fit in with your other serving accessories. Fill these shakers up with the traditional salt and pepper fillings and always be able to tell which one is which. Feel free to fill the shakers up with different seasonings if you use a spice like cumin, paprika or chili powder more often.
When it comes to seasonal salt and pepper shakers, we have you covered for the Halloween and harvest season. Decorate your kitchen with pumpkin and gourd shakers to bring in another successful harvest and all of the delicious vegetables that come along with it. These shakers are made of hand-poured glazed stoneware, giving them a shiny exterior. They also come with a copper stand that resembles a carrying basket. The shakers do not slip off the stand because they feature rubber stoppers on their undersides.
After about a month after Halloween, celebrate the second harvest holiday with a set of turkey shakers for Thanksgiving. Made of zinc alloy plated with nickel, these turkey shakers feature intricately detailed feathers, beaks and wings. Plastic lids keep your seasonings from spilling out onto the table when you accidentally knock the shakers over.
When the winter holidays roll around, prepare yourself with Christmas and Hanukkah salt and pepper shakers. Santa comes bearing gifts of seasonings in his bag this Christmas with a set of salt and pepper shakers made of ironstone and painted in rich lacquered colors. He rides in on his sled made of real wood and metal. Don't forget the 12 Days of Christmas by making sure you have a partridge in a pear tree on your table or counter, which also conveniently doubles as a salt and pepper shaker. Finally, celebrate the eight days of Hanukkah with a menorah, with each side of the zinc alloy candelabra detaching to create an individual shaker.
You don't need a special occasion to have special salt and pepper shakers. A set of vintage-style silver-plated shakers adds a dimension of warmth to your kitchen or dining room table with the appearance of being polished and well loved for years. The shakers are labeled in cursive, giving a classy and elegant appearance. They pair well with any type of dinnerware sets you own, especially our Maxfield Collection.
We also offer a couple of salt and shaker sets that go with our dinnerware collections, including the Cambria and Emma sets, made of fine stoneware. The Cambria set features small handles for easy pouring, while the Emma set has ridges right under the lid for a secure grip.
For something with plenty of natural artistic style in your salt and pepper shakers, consider ones made of both wood and natural bone. Skilled artisans make these shakers with tone-on-tone coloring, making each item unique. The shakers have a square design, giving your table or kitchen counter a more contemporary feeling than traditional products. If you want something with plenty of charm, consider the squirrel and acorn shaker. The squirrel and body of the acorn are made of white stoneware, while the bottom of the acorn features a metallic gold to give it a stylized appearance.
If you want to turn the kitchen table into a fine dining setting, consider the marble salt and pepper holders. White and black marble indicate the appropriate seasoning, while stainless steel spoons allow guests to sift and dispense fresh ground peppercorns or pink Himalayan salt to their preference. The dispensers sit on top of an acacia wood block for extra elegance.

Your Questions Answered about Massages
For your mental well-being, and your body, a massage is one of the best things you can obtain. A good massage will relax you, relieve your stress, and also loosen your muscles. For a variety of reasons, many people have not explored the benefits that a massage can offer. It's natural to have some worries or concerns if you've never had a massage, and we would like to discuss some of these.
What choices does one have, when it comes to massages?
There are numerous types of massages and various styles. Some massage techniques have specific purposes, while others are simply for body relaxation. The stereotypical situation that comes to people's minds when they hear the word "massage" is a Swedish massage, in which the client is nude except for a towel in their midsection. A masseuse will use oil and massage techniques to loosen muscles and relieve stress. In Oriental massage, however, acupuncture is frequently used, and the client is usually fully clothed. By working on major pressure points, a masseuse is attempting to bring complete balance to the body. A postural massage, a myofacial release massage, and many more, are your choices.
I have an appointment for my first massage. What should I do during my massage?
The most important thing to remember when you are getting a massage is to get comfortable and relax. Your massage therapist will likely be able to work around your positioning or tell you how to position your body to receive the maximum results. Your main concern is to just lie on the massage table and enjoy the process. If you want to, you can close your eyes and remain quiet while the masseuse completes the process. Or, if you'd prefer, you can talk during the massage if talking relaxing for you. If your talking begins to interfere with the relaxing tendencies of the massage, though, your masseuse may politely ask you to be quiet so you can enjoy the full effects of the process.
Are there instances in which a massage would not be appropriate for me?
A few situations and instances might make it harmful to your health to get a massage. When you fill out the information sheet that they require before receiving your first massage, be as truthful as you can. This will help the professionals properly assess your needs and be sure that they are not causing harm to you by giving you a massage. Some medications might cause harmful effects if you are on them while getting a massage. Other health concerns, such as pregnancy or high fevers, might also have harmful results if receiving a massage during these situations. Oftentimes, if you inform your masseuse about a concern, they can work around it so you will still receive a relaxing experience.
How about a couple's massage?
Couples massage is a fantastic way to spend quality time with your partner. Both you and your spouse will be in the same room, getting your massages at the same time. This relaxing experience allows you and your mate to have muscles loosened and pressure points worked together. In the process you will also get a face and body massage. A great gift for the celebration of a special event or an anniversary by you and your mate is obtaining a massage package. They generally run about $300.00.
How do I get a career in massage therapy?
Massage therapy is a flourishing field for many college-aged people and even older. Most areas have several schools that offer massage therapy certification classes to help you become a professional masseuse. Before you can receive certification, though, most courses require you to have a certain number of massaging hours as part of your training. Your family and friends will love this part because they are often the target for students wishing to become professional massage therapists. In some areas, you might also need to take some basic anatomy classes to learn more about the body and the pressure points in it.

Diamonds expelled from league
Rushden and Diamonds have been expelled from the Blue Square Bet Premier at the league's annual general meeting.
The decision was taken in light of the club's precarious financial position, which meant they could not guarantee being able to fulfil their fixtures for the 2011/12 season.
On Monday they will face a court hearing after a major creditor issued a winding-up order over unpaid debts.
Rushden, managed by former Tottenham defender Justin Edinburgh, suffered a five-point deduction last season after being found guilty of submitting incorrect financial information.
"We've been informed of the decision to expel us from the division. We weren't allowed to attend the AGM as we were suspended from membership so we were not allowed to voice our opinion," said Steve Beasant, the club`s chairman.
Beasant also added that the club will now apply to take its place in the Zamaretto League.
Edinburgh, who recently penned a new contract, said: "It's very sad news, especially for the fans as they have been so loyal. I really built up a rapport with them. I did sign a new deal but if there's no club to manage, what can you do? I don't know where this leaves me.
"I hope they survive but then we'll have to see what league they go into. This will all unravel over the next few days but it's just a very sad situation."
The club was formed in 1992 as the result of a merger between Rushden Town and Irthlingborough Diamonds. At the turn of the Millennium the club enjoyed a four-year spell in the Football League, spending the 2003/04 season in League One.
Southport, who finished fourth from bottom of the Conference, have been reprieved.

Just in case there is someone reading this post who doesn't know what "NGS 2011" is - it's the National Genealogical Society's 2011 Family History Conference and it's being held in Charleston, South Carolina May 11th - 14th.
There may have been a lot of people around here who needed a little extra sleep this morning since we had a very loud thunderstorm between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. I felt like I'd just gotten back sleep when the alarm went off at 6:00 (probably because I had just gone back to sleep) but the Opening Session was worth the effort it took to get moving early.
|Lower Level when the crowd was still arriving.
|Upper Level
I haven't heard an attendance number but you can get the idea that there are a lot of people here. A large number seem to be first time attendees - at least it looked like it when we all stood up.
The conference was opened by the Charleston Police Pipes and Drums. A representative of Archives.com (who sponsored the opening session) gave a brief update about their goals of adding more records and made two big announcements. First, they give a $1000 grant every month to an individual or society for a project of historical significance and will be awarding a grant to someone here at NGS this week. Applications can be picked up at their booth in the exhibit hall. Second, they are giving free memberships for the remainder of 2011 to everyone who comes by their booth. Needless to say they were busy later when the Exhibit Hall opened
David S. Ferriero, Archivist of the United States, talked about the "Transformation of NARA." Researchers now arrive at the National Archives with cameras and scanners and WiFi is available at Archives I and II. He encourage everyone to leave comments on the NARA blogs to give them feedback on records that are online and things we'd like to see. He said there are 130 million NARA records currently online with partners Ancestry, Family Search and Footnote. Information about the 1940 census was obviously of great interest to the audience as most of the questions he was asked dealt with it. He said the 1940 Census will launch on NARA's website on 2 Apr 2012, that they will have enough servers space to handle it and that the census is "sort of" indexed.
The final speaker was Buzzy Jackson, author of "Shaking the Family Tree: A Writer's Perspective on Turning Research Into Writing." If you've read her book, you already know she's funny. When she first started genealogy research, she couldn't find her own marriage record. She'd only been married six years at the time so this led her to speculate that she was not descended from type A individuals. She confessed to considering breaking into her aunt's house to get to her grandfather's Bible because her aunt wouldn't let her touch it. She talked about a couple who helped her with her Jackson line when she was getting started. That couple is here and they met for the first time here at NGS. Her main advice - "write it down."
I should mention that several of us were Tweeting away during this opening session but about the time it ended, so did our cell signals. I spent the rest of the day frustrated about it but what can you do? I started picking up a signal around the time I left the conference center this afternoon and based on some later Tweets, a few others did as well. I hope that's a good sign for tomorrow. We'll see. If you're following along on Twitter and there's not much activity, you'll know why.
It looks like Day 1 is going to need a Part 2 but that won't be coming until tomorrow night. And speaking of tomorrow, I may have over-scheduled myself as I have sessions selected starting at 8:00 a.m. and ending and 8:00 p.m. Too much? Probably - but I really want to go to all 7 sessions.
