I have a wonderful 3 year old daughter and a baby boy on the way due in October. I was in a car accident when I was 12 weeks pregnant with this pregnancy and have been in some kind of pain since then (headaches, neck, shoulder, back). I have been receiving chiropractic treatment since the accident and they have helped me with my headaches, shoulder & neck pain but my back is still an issue. They are not sure if its from the pregnancy or the accident. Any how I am feeling completely guilty, I only have a two months left to spend with my daughter before our son is born and I am always either tired or hurting. Its like I can't wait to have this baby in hopes to have some pain relief and possible some energy back but I'm also extremely anxious about my daughter not getting me all to herself. We still co sleep and I have anxieties about how to manage a newborn and her in the same bed. She is an extremely light sleeper and wakes anytime I do so is the baby going to keep her up all night? We have been extremely attached since the day she was born. She is a very loving and out going girl but likes to be around others and when I am around she wants all my attention. The past month or so I have been getting irritated because all she wants is my attention when I get home from work. I understand she wants some mommy time but I am so exhausted, uncomfortable, and in pain when I get home I just want to rest! This is just not fair to her but I don't know how to deal. She also interferes when I am trying to talk to my husband...she wants me all to herself! How will it be when the baby comes? Any suggestions?
No announcement yet.
3 year old wants my undivided attention!

MomMom and devoted wife to 3 creatures of delight
transitioning from 1 to 2 children gives many parents anxiety. but i assure you, many of us have done it and it is quite a natural process. everything will work itself out. you will continue to be as sensitive and responsive to both of your children as you can and they will adjust. that's not to say that it won't take time, but you will renegotiate your lives as a family of 4.
part of what your daughter is going thru is developmental, and i'm sure that the anticipation of a new baby has her feeling a little off. she's probably looking to you for reassurance that everything is going to be okay. take time to listen to her fears, don't dismiss them, but reassure her that you will always be there for her. this is also a really good time to enlist your dh to put some extra work into his relationship w/her. that way, when you are with the baby, she'll be used to being cared for by dad.
does this help? let us know if you have more ?s.
Thank you for some encouraging words. DH has been playing a bigger role in her life now that he is not working and I am working full time and they have gotten a lot closer. But I think because she is with him all day and then when I come home she only wants me. You are right, I'm sure that the anticipation of the new baby has got her out of sorts. We are "nesting" too and she sees/feels that. Thanks again...I will probably have more questions at some point.

2nd tea...Ding Gu Da Fang...this is the Long Jing replica green from Anhui Province.
I am finding I like this probably more than Long Jing costing many times more. It has a nice slightly bolder character than almost all LJ too. This would make a great everyday green if you really like Dragon Well...if you can find it!!!
Tea 3 will likely be Gyokuro I just received.

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |
Between 2009 and 2012, Dolores Park's many grouchy neighbors waged an ill-fated campaign to "dampen the spirits of those who are inclined to come to DP for unfettered drinking and carousing." But in spite of their many public hearings, and police support, San Francisco's party positive spirit prevailed.
Now after a year of peace, Dolores's neighbors are once again looking to flip the script on the park's prized vibe. In an open letter to the city's Rec & Park Department, Dolores Park Works—in conjunction with Mission Dolores Neighborhood Association—writes:
After hours vandalism, increased homeless camping, public intoxication, underage drinking, out of control trash and occasional violence continue to plague the park. Now that the good weather is here, these issues have reached a critical point. Every hot weekend we host an impromptu festival at Dolores Park. The park is known region-wide as the place to party, where there are no rules, and no repercussions for bad behavior.
The neighborhood has been tolerant, welcoming and patient. But we are convinced that there's an opportunity to begin to address these problems now, during the park renovation, so as to avoid more of the same after the park is finished.
If we are to make the park truly welcoming to all, we need to curb some of the sunny weekend excesses that are both damaging the park and the surrounding neighborhood.
With half the park closed for renovations, it's no wonder that cramped quarters are leading folks to get even more stressed out over weekend boozing. And their points aren't completely unfounded: campaigns like Clean Up the Plaza and DPW's attempt to wash the homeless out of Mid-Market has led to a significant uptick in Dolores camping and the trash situation has always been a terrible, tricky problem. But instead of tackling the those issues head-on with more trash cans and improved homeless services (as all we seem to be doing now is kicking them around), the solution is, of course, getting the police involved:
Extended Rec and Park presence in Mission Dolores Park on weekends during peak hours. Beginning in the afternoon (noon to 4pm) the crowd arrives and Rec and Park pulls out. Daniel Perea, Captain SFPD Mission Station, has increased uniformed police foot patrols in the park, especially after 3pm and into the evening. Marcus Santiago, of the Park Patrol, is looking into increasing patrols from his officers. Both departments are working to coordinate their efforts. We'd like you to support these efforts and to find the resources for Rec and Park to participate in this collaborative effort. Rec and Park must take a leadership role and help monitor Dolores. […]
As you know, vandalism of the new Helen Diller Playground and throughout the park is a serious concern. We would like to help fund and install security cameras around the children's playground. We are also interested in discussing more lighting around the children's playground and adding a time-locked gate. Maybe now is also the time to take a good look at the proposed lighting plan for all of Dolores Park as well.
Of course, we'd ordinarily brush off these renewed and recycled calls for stepped up enforcement as they've failed before (and will fail again). But this time, Supervisor Scott Wiener seems to be ahead of the demands, himself declaring in September that he seeks a "culture shift" and "better enforcement" to take hold before the renovations are wrapped up. And next Wednesday, Wiener will be joined by Supervisor Campos, Captain Daniel Perea of Mission Station, Rec & Park General Manager Phil Ginsburg, and Senior Park Patrol officer Marcus Santiago in meeting with these neighbors to discuss their brand of preferred solutions to the perpetual problem.
Should you want to attend the meeting yourself, it'll be taking place at the Dolores Park Church at 455 Dolores, starting Wednesday, May 14 at 6:30. Dolores Park Works has all the details.

I haven't been in the playground lately, was there an excessive amount of tags? I'm not really in the tagging culture, but is there nothing that is just understood to be off limits? I can't imagine so, since I still see tags on trees.

Oh don't worry, there will be a culture shift. We're almost done with our colonization. We always follow rules.

I think you mean "we always make the rules." That is, unless you're just pretending to be one of us.

I'm totally on board with more police presence after dark, but I really hope they don't start busting people during the day.

Rec and Park loves them some fences, security, police, surveillance video, you name it!
You know what else they really like? Private parties for the rich.
So just remember when corrupt security guard Maecus Santiago is shoving a taser up your ass for drinking a talllboy, it's all for the greater good. Phil Ginsburg and Mark Buell have decent, well paying guests lined up for that park and it's time for you to move along, sir.
" A Matt Smith cover story last year revealed that head park patrol officer Marcus Santiago had transformed his small force into a lucrative overtime machine – more than doubling his take-home pay in the process."

Truer words were never written, my friend. The tech boys have rolled in and they are building a wall around our city with the help of our police department. Like Iggy Pop once sang, "No Fun". When will we wake up and stop what's happening to our city?

Eye roll
Wiener's not going to go for security cameras in Dolores Park, heavens they might photograph some closest case (a situation Wiener no doubt knows well) giving a blow job in the bushes.
As he said here in reference to the SFPD wanting security cameras outside bars to capture fag bashers: "In the LGBT community for gay bars, there are people who are not out of the closest who go into these bars and they don't want to be recorded."
That's Little Scotties San Francisco, "people who are not out of the closet."

Anyone know why Brust signed on with the grouchy neighbors? I thought DPW was supposed to be a more balanced alternative to the knee-jerk NIMBY hate.

Thanks for the notice about this meeting.
The new bathrooms are going to be welcome. But making the park uninvited for the genernal public, is shit. If its true that the plan is tod changed to be managed to give preferenced only for those who want to rent it out is an abomiination. !!
That is very much what has happened to the building at Mission Park at 19th and Linda. It used to be open for kids, and the public, not its closed, non inclusive, and available for rental. Same thing is happening at the soccer field there. It used to have regular high level pick-up games. Now, the player are regularly getting kicked off by the rentals, so the culture shift against pickup games is happening. That culture change should be rolled back, and this attemped shift at DP defeated.
So sick of the Wiener/dpworks buzzkill duo.
This story repeats itself over and over again (https://twitter.com/WarrenMarcusson/status/459790010804215808).
Heaven forbid people use public space in a way that doesn't actively raise the property value of the surrounding real estate.

I've lived two doors down from Dolores Park for nine years. I have never had a problem with homeless campers. People need to sleep somewhere, sheesh. I think I'll join this association and try to get them to chill out (before I'm promptly shouted down by Todd, MD and Piper, Esq.).

Hey, I got an idea. Don't see a trashcan? Maybe hold on to your trash in a bag or something until you fucking find one.
I lived next to Dolores Park for many…MANY years. Like right next store. And it was great. When I was younger, it was such a prize being near a party hotspot like the park. But honestly, I don't blame my neighbors for being grouchy. I have had to clean up so many drunk people's piss off my porch. And sometimes, even POOP.
Oh, and on top of all of that, Earth Day 2013… Everyone swarmed the park to celebrate such an awesome day celebrating Earth, in a city that prides itself for being green. I came out of my house the next day and the entire park was covered in beer cans and just piles of disgusting trash.
DPclean | [Permalink]
hmm, the park was covered in beer cans? More frequently, I notice that there is an effect ecosystem where the beer can collectors are gathering the cans before the last ounce is drunk. But if exagerations help you make your point, then noted.

Ah, the great things that have happened in that park. Mime Troop and Woman's Will performed for free. The dike fest and Tranny fest.Hunky Jesus contest. Cinco De Mayo celebration. Slip and Slides on hot sommer nights. Demonstrations and rallys. And just chilling on a sunny day, watching the people, the acrobats, the ice cream eaters, and so forth. This park has been the cities living room. And yes, for some folks, it's bedroom.
All that, I fear, will be part of our cities history, with cops, cmeras, and lots of fenced off private events. I always welcome more public bathrooms. But other than that, they should leave Dolores Park alone.

It doesn't have to become history, and the love and use that Dolores Park has been getting in recent years is actually an argument for optimism. If even a small percentage of the people who enjoy the park every week start turning up at meetings like the one at Dolores Park Church tonight and voice their opinions against tools like Wiener and Ginsburg then things will change. People like Wiener and Ginsburg are not leaders, they're followers. They're just following a small group of people that they think will continue to pay them and provide political cover. If enough people turn up at meetings and city hall and tell them to go fuck themselves (politely, you know) and that their plans suck, they will either fall into line or they can be replaced by someone who better represents you.
Hell, form your own neighborhood group, give it a name and tell these losers you represent way more people than their precious angry homeowners' association. Because it's true.

I think they need to build a second playground for adults. The equipment in the Helen Diller playground is completely beat to shit and there are teens/adults using it most of the evenings I take my kid there. I have no problems with drinking, partying or overnight sleeping, but why do people have to break everything?

It's time for some alternatives to the Ed Lee / Scott Wiener / Phil Ginsburg war on fun machine.
These fucking assholes will not rest until they fence off every park and control the behavior of every misguided fool who thinks they have a right to be left alone in public to enjoy the spaces they pay for with their taxes. Case in point: Fencing off Alamo Square Park for Bay To Breakers because of unspecified "safety" concerns.
"We've seen years where it wasn't as safe as it could be," Mayor Ed Lee said.
"Public safety is one of my biggest priorities," said Supervisor London Breed. "I want everyone to be responsible."
Want to know who to thank? Asshole politicians and your friendly neighborhood association busybody group:
"How about public plazas?" you ask, "Shouldn't there also be someone in those places telling me what I can and can't do?" You bet. They've got plans to give control of plazas to "non-profits" meaning neighborhood associations again.
Put out some fucking trashcans, make sure there are plenty of bathrooms, some gardeners and some maintenance people and then Fuck Off with your command and control mentality. We could be spending a fraction of the current Rec and Park and DPW budget every year if these assholes didn't insist on larding up on middle management do- nothing desk pilots and over zealous security officers sniffing up behind every person who pauses to enjoy public space on a sunny afternoon or a pleasant evening.

Marcus Santiago, Ranger or Crook? You Decide. | [Permalink]
If you go to the meeting tonight be sure to thank Marcus Santiago for making SF parks a less hospitable place while raking in over $100,000 per year.
Why does the head of the Park Patrol division tolerate that Park Ranger supervisor Thomas Tom has a second full-time job with the state of California on top of his $69,786 per year, full-time city post? Why is it that another Park Patrol officer enjoys impunity as he allegedly skips his rounds and sleeps during his graveyard shift — and then shows up the next day to work overtime? Why does the head of the Park Patrol division not seem to mind that through questionable overtime pay this alleged sleeper doubles his annual $53,000 salary? And why do San Francisco officials seem to go out of their way to protect the man in charge of Park Patrol, division chief Marcus Santiago?
The unit is expected to be fully staffed with 25 members by May 2012, which will increase the total budget of the park patrol by $113,000 to $2.54 million. Lotti will earn $111,000 annually, according to the department.
Internal government memos and other records backed Horan's allegation that Santiago had turned his division into an overtime generator for himself and a close circle of Asian American friends. For at least six years, Santiago, who is of Chinese and Filipino heritage, has more than doubled his base pay through overtime.
Santiago "favored Asians over non-Asians in the Park Patrol Division with regard to hiring, promotion, and overtime allocation from January 2006 to in or about December 2010," wrote EEOC district director Michael Baldonado in a 2011 letter to the city.
GPS monitors suggested some of his fellow rangers slept through shifts, or didn't even show up, yet still logged overtime hours. One of Santiago's fellow supervisors held a second, full-time law enforcement job, yet still billed San Francisco for overtime on top of his full-time Park Patrol pay, records show…
The EEOC also turned up information showing that Santiago had not reported on his Park Patrol job application that he had previously been dismissed from the Oakland Police Department for excessive use of force and unauthorized possession of government property.
Santiago wasn't the only Park Patrol officer who'd been dismissed from a previous law enforcement job. Tom, one of three Park Patrol supervisors, had been fired in 1995 from the Vallejo Police Department for allegedly kicking a suspect in the head. When Tom in 2001 applied for a job with the San Francisco Sheriff's Department, a background check made public when Tom appealed the sheriff's decision not to hire him revealed he'd repeatedly accepted gratuities from local businesses while on his rounds.
…That was before Santiago began executing his strategy to bring ever-greater order to city parks. In 2004, he advocated a seemingly subtle — yet, in the context of his intention to expand his small outfit, masterful — policy requiring concert promoters and holders of park event permits to pay rangers to staff their events.
Suddenly, the North Beach Jazz Festival, a Union Square outdoor film festival, the Golden Gate Park Yogathon, Reggae in the Park, and myriad other events had to come up with thousands of dollars for a new "park patrol salaries fee," creating thousands of hours of overtime to be divided among the five rangers.
Rangers' overtime pay predictably exploded. Santiago, for instance, has spent the past few years putting in almost as much overtime as straight time, ballooning his annual $65,000 base pay to $144,000. All this extra overtime created the impression that his crew was dearly understaffed, so rangers began lobbying to increase the size of their unit.
Around the same time, one of Santiago's staffers created a nonprofit, the San Francisco Park Ranger Association, with the aim of raising their profile. The rangers began spreading the word that their department was severely understaffed, creating a situation where parks were unsafe. Their efforts led to sympathetic news articles, community group meetings, and activist calls for a beefed-up security patrol.
so, what happened at the meeting?
Well, I can't tell you what happened at the meeting, but I got off work around 8:30 PM last night and went to the park to relax/cool off after a long day.
At around 9:00 PM the sprinklers started turning on. I don't know the sprinkler schedule, and maybe that is standard timing, but it seemed like a concerted effort to drive people out of a cool (temperature wise) public space on one of the hottest evenings of the year.

It's called Ghibellina. The food is traditional Tuscan fare, with the addition of a pizza oven. Though my pizzas aren't prototypical Neapolitan. The restaurant is in the Logan Circle area of Washington, DC.Thanks!
My formulation is: 75% High Gluten Flour (KA Sir Lancelot); 25% Caputo 00 flour62% watersalt and yeast are the sameno olive oil or sugarthe same method as written above. I do expect to bump up the water, and raise the temp of the water as summer gives way to fall and winter; but the 64-67% I was doing during the winter when recipe testing was way too wet come May/June.Thanks for the love; more pictures to come.Jonathan

Rated 5 out of 5�by Trey Exceeded my expectations Product is completely stable and does exactly what I had hoped for. Was also surprisingly easy to assemble by myself. July 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by PhilTheGreat Works great! I love this tower! I don't use it for push-ups, BUT I do pull-ups, dips, chin-ups, a whole bunch of different ab exercises in a dip position and weighted (+50pounds) pull-ups, dips and chin-ups. Close grip, regular grip, wide grip... this tower is my everyday adventure! May 29, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by MC Good value for price This was relatively easy to put together, definitely takes at least two people. The base is a little wobbly (not level), which could be the way we assembled it/tightened the screws? Some of the pieces also appear to be a little rusty, which I thought was weird. Overall I would say it's worth the price paid (on sale with free shipping). December 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by ediekings17 Very easy to assemble It comes in a very compact package and very easy to assemble. It brings its own disposable tools. Very sturdy but lightweight at the same time. For under $120 it was a great buy. November 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by TheExerciser Sturdy enough, simple to assemble I've only had the product a week and have only used it for pull-ups and dips, but I can say it performs well. It's sturdy provided you are using good form. The assembly was simple although you will want to use your own tools. I didn't attempt to use the provided tools, but they looked inadequate.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Madicen Stamina 1690 Power Tower I love it...easy to put together and sturdy. What a great priduct December 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by old guy Great value This is a compact, sturdy lightweight piece of equipment. Set up was a snap. I am 6 foot tall and am able to perform pull ups/chin ups with my chin going over the bar in a basement with an eight foot ceiling(I do have perform them with my legs in a kneeling position).

St. C. schools stress safety
ST. CLAIRSVILLE During its Monday meeting, city council heard from School Resource Officer Jeff Gazdik, who gave an update on safety improvements in the St. Clairsville School District.
He presented an updated emergency management plan, noting the improvements were a result of two years of planning and had been completed before the Connecticut shooting.
Gazdik pointed out that the plan covers a wide variety of disasters and responses in and around the school, including evacuation plans. Other schools have been in contact with the district in the interest of improving their response plans. He added that a quick communications system is also in place.
In addition, he announced the completion of a $90,000 Homeland Security funded program to provide extensive blueprints of all Belmont County schools for the use of law enforcement and emergency responders in the event of an emergency. Five districts are complete, with the final two close to completion. Training in how to deal with emergency situations will commence soon.
Also, a city safety committee composed of school officials and emergency responders is meeting monthly. Gazdik has also taken law enforcement officers from diverse agencies on tours of the school buildings.
In other matters, Service Director Dennis Bigler reported bids were taken on the automated meter infrastructure project. The consultant is in the process of evaluation the bids. A recommendation is expected for next meeting.
Councilman Terry Pugh noted the high level of activity on the bike trail as the clearing by Route 9 continues. He suggested monitoring the work and temporarily closing the trail during times when activity could pose a safety hazard.
Bigler noted the work is being monitored and should be finished by September.
In other matters, Mayor Robert Vincenzo noted complaints of potholes in town. He said it was currently a bad time of year with regard to available materials. In addition, the weather has taken its toll. The city is taking measures to alleviate the worst sites until more can be done.
"It's been a tough winter for the roads," Vincenzo said.
Also, Code Administrator Tom Murphy reported that the safety committee is meeting with department heads. Also, he reminds individuals to obtain permits before any construction projects.
In addition, the utility committee reports frequent repairs have been needed at the wastewater plant. Also, pool meters are available at the utility office. Residents are encourage to fill their pools while the reservoir is high. Meters are in limited supply and offered on a first come, first serve basis.
In matters of recreation, Council Member Libby Heintzelman reported the Belmont County Tourism Counsel has awarded the rec department a $2,000 grant for the Second Annual Rib Fest Aug. 17. Also, the department is advertizing for teams for the varsity and reserve summer leagues shoot outs and classics. Regarding the summer concert series, they will be held Tuesdays, 7-9 p.m. at the band shell.
In addition, Council Member Perry Jones reported that a decision not to pass the upcoming .25 mills additional park levy will result in the park's closing. He asked all voters to consider the park's contributions to the area.
In other mattes, council motioned to allow the mayor to apply for a four-year $400,000 CHIP grant to assist in improving low to moderate income houses through improvements such as insulation and roof repairs. Vincenzo noted that the grant requires some homeowners to secure a loan first. He added that the grant is implemented through Belomar and is no cost to the city.
Also, council passed a resolution for the pickup of police pension through a payroll reduction.
Council passed a resolution authorizing the finance director to enter into agreement with the state auditor Local Government Services for the preparation of annual GAAP reporting.
Council also motioned to enter into the ODOT cooperative purchasing program.

Don't like the stevia part
Posted by Reviewer1956863 on Dec 19, 2007
This is a great idea. I love xylitol and wanted convenient packets for when I ate out. However the stevia in it gives it a bitter taste.
Bad After Taste!!
Posted by Reviewer3247496 on Nov 09, 2009
After reading all the positive comments on the website I was really looking forward to this sugar substitute. But I tried it many times in different beverages and frankly It has a bad chemical taste. Will never use again.
Contains stevia
Posted by Reviewer2583645 on Jun 14, 2010
I ordered packets of xylitol (I thought) but received xylitol plus which contains stevia. I hate the taste of stevia and was hopeful that when combined with xylitol it wouldn't leave the usual after taste and be so sweet. It tasted just like regular stevia to me. I would have sent it back but the postage cost made no sense. I will probably give it away.

A fleet destroyed
During the Spanish-American War, the Spanish Caribbean Fleet left its protected harbor at Santiago, Cuba, at 9:35 a.m. on July 3, 1898. Lt. Thomas Kearny aboard the U.S. Armed Yacht Vixen wrote this account of the Spanish attempt to reach open sea and safety. The blockading American Fleet opened fire and began the largest naval engagement of the war. Seventy-five minutes later, the Spanish fleet ceased to exist; hundreds of Spanish sailors were dead; and all eight ships were destroyed or captured.

Is Musky out of his mind!? Actually, I've never had a Mexican type of pizza....but boy I sure would hit that one. She is a beauty!Most excellent innovation there Musky....glad you are back too.
Bob, I don't think Musky has checked in since last year. This post thread started in 2007.I am curious about the corn flour; same as masa flour?
Have you repeated that pie and crust? I would hit that JUST LIKE a Musky. You are obviously from MN/WI with a handle like that!! jon
I have not repeated it. Getting back into the pizza scene after a time away. And yep, I'm a Cheesehead. Dying the last four weeks watching the Pack lose, and then worse tie the stinking Vikings, while waiting for Rodgers to come back.Kevin
Lmao, Go Vikes! How did McCarthy not go for the end zone on 4th down in OT? Vikes have 4 Epic collapses this season. Anyways, glad we made your playoff chances dimmer and still secured our top 3 pick.
That's mean. lol. If they can beat the Lions tomorrow, Rodgers comes back for the next game, and it's off to the races. Kevin
I thought Pack had a chance until Det flipped that switch.

Meth offenders sentenced
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – Two area women were sentenced to prison Monday for their involvement in the manufacture of methamphetamine discovered at a rental house in Kingsford in March.
Attorney Mike Scholke of Iron Mountain said his client, Nicole Strutz, 30, of Iron Mountain, voluntarily gave up the rights to her daughter and realizes she needs to change or her addiction will take her life.
He said the recommended minimum sentence of 30 months in prison will help get her the help she needs.
Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Carl Downing said the sentence is appropriate.
"Meth is not like any other illegal drug. It cost her family, friends and affected these people as well and affects more family and friends," he said. "It is highly explosive and costs thousands of dollars to clean up. This is as dangerous of a drug there is out there."
He added that he hoped Strutz could get the treatment she needs in prison.
Strutz apologized at her sentencing.
"I let my addiction ruin my life," she said. "I was being selfish when I just wanted to get high."
Judge Richard Celello said, "You are playing with the most dangerous drug. It grabs ahold of you and it is dangerous emotionally, physically and mentally. I don't know what more we can do to punish, but my job is to send a message to the community that it's not going to be tolerated."
"Everyone of you folks involved with meth is going to prison," Judge Celello said. "If you use again, you will be in prison the rest of your life or dead."
Strutz was sentenced to 30 months to 30 years with credit for 142 days served for maintaining a meth lab and being an habitual offender, second offense.
Attorney Dan Anderson said his client, Samantha Matson, 22, of Vulcan, was responsible for getting substances for the manufacture of meth.
Matson apologized to the community and court for her actions. "I let druggies get the best of me. I plan to take the necessary steps," she said.
Judge Celello added that this dangerous drug will not be tolerated.
Matson received a 24-month to 20-year prison sentence with credit for 132 days served for maintaining a meth lab.
A third co-defendant, Steven Spencer, 57, of Iron Mountain is charged with maintaining a meth lab, conspiracy and habitual offender, second offense.
Because Judge Celello was not going to go with the recommended sentencing agreement, a re-sentencing or pre-trial date was set for Aug. 26 at 9 a.m.
Spencer is being represented by attorney Kalen Lipe of Iron Mountain.
The three individuals listed above were arrested after a portable meth lab was discovered at a rental home at 501 Sterling St. in Kingsford on March 11-12.
Kingsford Public Safety Department officers and the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team helped to remove hazardous materials from the rental home.

2012 MLB predictions Part 2 -- National LeaguePosted Wednesday, March 28, 2012, at 7:09 AM
By COREY NOLES
Welcome back! If you're reading this I assume yesterday's predictions didn't anger you enough not to return for more.
Yesterday I took a look at the American League and made my predictions on what I expect. Today, we're going to take a look at the National League. Don't forget to check back later in the week for my postseason and award predictions.
National League East
1. Philadelphia
2. Atlanta
3. Miami
4. Washington
5. New York (Mets)
While the Phillies will have some struggles offensively, at least early in the season, when you factor in their rotation (Halladay, Lee, Hamels, Worley, Blanton) the team is still the clear favorite to win the east. However, this year will be more of a fight. Atlanta didn't make a lot of changes in the offseason, but , prior to their collapse they played great baseball. They're clearly hoping to call the past the past and move on forward. I struggled with the order of the Marlins and Nationals. While I think the Nationals are soon to be an awesome team with a ton of depth, I think that may still be a year or so out. The Marlins made changes, however, that help them immediately. The addition of Jose Reyes and Heath Bell along with incoming manager Ozzie Guillen could be just the shot in the arm this team needs. The Carlos Zambrano acquisition interests me, as well. If Guillen can keep him straightened out, he could be the pitcher he once was. The Mets, well, I don't look for much out of there this season. Losing Reyes hurt them bad offensively and defensively and I expect them to feel it all season.
National League Central
1. St. Louis
2. Milwaukee
3. Cincinnati
4. Pittsburgh
5. Chicago (Cubs)
6. Houston
Before anyone thinks it, my choice of the Cardinals to take the central has nothing to do with the fact that I write about them daily. The Cardinals are on top because, despite what they lost (Pujols, LaRussa, Duncan), they made the right acquisitions (Beltran, Furcal) and have Wainwright coming back. Even with Carpenter out for part of the season, I still expect them to put together a great team. The addition of Greene and new manager Mike Matheny's apparent interest on the running game should give the team strength in area's they have fallen short in the past. Deciding between Milwaukee and Miami was a tough decision. While Milwaukee lost Prince Fielder, they managed to not lose Braun after the great urine test fiasco of 2011. Braun's value can't be overstated, nor can their rotation with Gallardo and Greinke as anchors. I would have given second-place to Cincinnati, but the loss of Ryan Madson to Tommy John surgery may create more of a pickle for them than they can dig out of. While the closer isn't everything, effective closing of games was an issue for them in 2011 and they need to work something out to fix the gap. If they do, they may likely finish higher than I have them slotted for. Health will be an issue as well. They need Rolen to be healthy and do what he does, both offensively and defensively, for an entire season if they want to win. Pittsburgh is always kind of a sleeper team. They should be an improved team, but how improved is the question. I always like to think of them as the "thorn in the side" of team's like St. Louis and Milwaukee who stay in contention. The Cubs, well, are still the Cubs. Some front office changes and a few player moves will help them, but even management has made it clear they are in long-term rebuilding mode. I don't look for the Astros farewell tour of the National League to be a big show either. Luhnow could be a big help as the team makes the transition over to the American League.
National League West
1. San Francisco
2. Arizona
3. Los Angeles (Dodgers)
4. Colorado
5. San Diego
The Giants, 2010 World Series champs, had a rough 2011 in terms of injuries. The return of offensive cornerstones Freddy Sanchez and Buster Posey should be enough to push the Giants back on top. If not, maybe Melky Cabrera can. With Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain, they should still be a threat to anyone they face. The Diamondbacks finished 2011 on a high note compared to where they started and I think they'll be able to put up another good showing. I just don't expect them to get past the Giants. While the Dodgers have been struggling for a couple of seasons, they locked up Kemp and will continue to be an impressive team. They stayed above .500 last year with utter chaos surrounding them and, with their world at least improving through the bidding war, I fully expect a better showing from them. Next year they may be a team to watch as whoever their new owner is begins looking for ways to win. The Rockies are a team that need everything to fall perfectly in place to make any kind of a push this year, especially in this division. The Padres, after trading away one of their best starters, will really need to score some runs this year if they don't want to be sitting at the bottom of their division.
I should remind everyone that my track record with predictions this season isn't too good, but after a ton of research, I feel pretty good about most of these. With that being said, baseball is a very dynamic sport that requires a level of marathon endurance and in a long marathon anything can happen. Baseball is certainly no exception and that's one of the many things I love about it.
Don't forget to check back later in the week as I will share my postseason and performance award predictions.

More than half the teams in the NFL run some form of a 3-4 defense heading into the 2013 season. With the explosion of the 3-4, fans, coaches and scouts are becoming more familiar with the difference between a 3-4 defensive end and a 4-3 defensive end.
During last year's NFL 1,000 series, all defensive ends were combined in a ranking that we later found to be confusing to fans. Why scout, grade and rank Cameron Wake using the same criteria as Justin Smith when they are asked to do two very different things on each play?
That led to a revised look at defensive ends—and outside linebackers—in the 2013 NFL 1,000 rankings. The 35 players you'll see next are all 3-4 defensive ends, or at least they played the majority of their snaps there during the 2012 season.
As always, we looked for a minimum of 200 snaps from each player when evaluating their ability to rush the quarterback and stop the run. And in cases where two players' total scores matched, we broke the tie based on which player we'd rather have on our team right now.

U.S. Men Hold Off Argentina in Battle at the Bren
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Exhibition for Volleyball is scheduled to be shown on MSNBC at noon ET on June 1.
IRVINE, Calif. (May 27, 2008) - A young Argentinean team put up a fight, but could not outlast the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team on Tuesday as Team USA won a five-set battle 19-25, 27-29, 25-20, 25-20, 15-12 at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Exhibition for Volleyball at the Bren Center on the campus of UC Irvine.
Almost 3,000 raucous fans cheered on the U.S. Men, who were led by Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) with 19 points on 16 kills and three blocks. Argentina's players, all of whom are younger than 30, were led by Lucas Chavez with 22 points on 17 kills, three blocks and two aces.
The Argentineans used the match to prepare for the FIVB Men's Olympic World Qualification Tournament on May 31-June 8 in Tokyo. The U.S. Men will begin their 2008 FIVB World League odyssey on June 13-14 in Finland.
Tuesday's match gave the U.S. team many things to work on before World League, said U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand).
The U.S. Men went into the match flat and struggled particularly on defense in the first two sets. In the first set, the United States had no blocks and 53 percent "excellent" serve receptions. The U.S. team hit for 40 percent in the first set and 38 percent in the second. Argentina hit for 66 percent in the first set and 56 in the second.
"We've only had this group together a little over a week," McCutcheon said. "I'm not surprised. I thought we were able to learn some really good lessons. We've got a lot of work to do. The good news is we have time to put things in place."
David Lee (Alpine, Calif.), Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) and Gabe Gardner (San Clemente, Calif.) each scored 12 points for the U.S. Men. Lee had nine kills and three blocks. Millar and Gardner each had eight kills, two blocks and two aces.
Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) scored 11 points on nine kills and two blocks. Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) scored five points on one kill and a match-high four blocks. Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i) scored five points on five kills and Riley Salmon (League City, Texas) tallied four points on four kills.
Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) finished the match with 71 percent "excellent" service receptions.
After losing to Team USA 1-3 in a scrimmage on Saturday, Argentina Head Coach Jon Uriarte made some adjustments that took the U.S. Men by surprise, including starting Martin Hernandez, who usually plays opposite, at middle blocker.
Hernandez responded with 13 kills and one ace. Lucas Ocampo added 17 points on 15 kills, one block and one ace.
But Uriarte's team could not sustain the momentum it built in the first two sets.
"We are happy that our young team could play this type of match, but we still need to do some mental work," Uriarte said.
McCutcheon started Priddy and Salmon at outside hitter, Lee and Millar at middle blocker, Stanley at opposite, Hansen at setter and Lambourne at libero.
Rooney substituted for Salmon in the second set and started the rest of the match. Gardner substituted for Stanley in the second set and started the rest of the match.
Brandon Taliaferro (San Clemente, Calif.), Delano Thomas (Sacramento, Calif.) and Scott Touzinsky (St. Louis, Mo.) all entered the match to serve.
The first set saw the teams trade points to the first technical timeout, which Argentina reached with an 8-7 lead. Argentina went into the second technical timeout ahead 16-11. The U.S. Men couldn't come back and fell 19-25 in the first set.
In the second set, Team USA led 8-7 at the first technical timeout and increased the lead to two points. With the United States leading 15-13, Argentina came back to tie the score at 15-15 and then took its first set lead at 16-15 on an ace by Ocampo.
The score stayed tight until Argentina reached set point at 24-23. But a service error tied it again. Team USA held off set point again before taking its own set point at 26-25 and again at 27-26. With the scored tied 27-27, the United States was called for a net violation and then took a timeout. However Priddy's kill attempt went long and gave Argentina the set victory.
The third set proved critical for the U.S. Men and they got off to a 6-3 lead and an 8-6 advantage at the first technical timeout. Argentina came back to the tie the score at 12-12, but a Millar kill gave the United States a small lead it never gave up. Team USA held a 16-13 advantage at the second technical timeout and went on to win the set 25-20.
Carrying some momentum into the fourth set, the United States led 8-4 at the first technical timeout. The U.S. Men led 16-13 at the second technical timeout. Coming out of the break, Millar served for the next four points, including and ace, and put the set out of reach.
The United States jumped to a 4-1 lead in the fifth set. Although Argentina pulled to within one point at 11-10, a Gardner kill off Argentina's block took the wind out of the sails of the South Americans.

McGee: Boy meets burritos
April 22, 2011
Don't you just love burritos?
I've had a love affair with burritos since I was in high school back east.
They're so good; chowing down on that tasty, sometimes gooey, warm stuff wrapped up inside a soft tortilla.
It started with beans, the main attraction in many a burrito.
I just thought it was culinary heaven when my grandma put a big ol' ham hock in a big ol' pot and slow cooked a big ol' mess o' beans.
One day I was thumbing through a copy of Ladies Home Journal and I ran across a section on Mexican food. Yes, Ladies Home Journal. I was a bored teenager and grandma's house wasn't a National Geographic kind of place.
"Make Your Own Mexican Specialties" proclaimed the headline of the article. Then I read about burritos: Mashed beans stuffed in a tortilla. This sounded divine.
"Grandma, can I use your kitchen to fix burritos?" I asked.
There was this long silence between us.
"Fix what?" she said with a scrunched face. Grandma was raised in the high Appalachians back east.
"Burritos. Mashed beans stuffed in a tortilla, that's like a thin
"Why would you mess up perfectly good beans by mashin' 'em then puttin' 'em in a pancake?" She said. "Besides boy, no one cooks in my kitchen but me."
I would not understand the kitchen philosophy until I met up with The Lady of the House years in the future. I don't cook in her kitchen and she doesn't touch my turntable.
I ended up fixing my frijoles and tortillas over at my buddy Catfish's house. They were tickled to have someone whip up some vittles for the family, especially Catfish's mom.
They liked my burritos.
Who would have known that a lifelong love affair with burritos began with a teenage boy and a copy of Ladies Home Journal.

Mugnaini imports the Valoriani ovens which are used successfully in many commercial Neapolitan applications.
"true Neapolitan" pizza ovens have a low dome,are hand built with very specific materials and should not be confused with other modular fabricated / mass produced wood burning ovens.If you need a benchmark example,the oven at Spaccanapoli in Chicago is probably the finest (and most beautiful ) one I've had the chance to experience in the USA.The only person I know that has first hand experience of cooking with nearly all of the Neapolitan oven builders represented in the USA is Roberto @ Keste in New York,he's likely the one best to give an un-biased opinion as I know he has himself purchased and used so many.Good luck,David
To be honest, most of our patrons were happy with what we've been doing up to this point, and haven't noticed or commented on a difference. I think the distinctions I have been making here have gone largely unnoticed. Having said that, all of our guests have been very positive about our efforts and have enjoyed the addition of a wood-fired pizza oven to their club. To us bunch of enthusiasts, the results might look quite different, but not necessarily so for the untrained eye. We have had good success using upscale ingredients and thoughtful methods to try and recreate an authentic-seeming experience.
Sorry if I misinterpreted the heading of this thread .I was not dismissing any ovens for pizza making,merely pointing out some of the critical differences with what many consider to be a true Neapolitan oven.I'm sure you would also equally debate Neapolitan pizza / Neapolitan style pizza.If I go shopping for a Harley Davidson and a salesman tells me the Yamaha is practically the same,I feel more comfortable knowing the differences for myself and with such an important investment why I should chose one over another.From reading your other comments It is clear that we obviously draw our lines at different points and you are seemingly satisfied with the outcome.There is nothing wrong with compromise as long as you understand why you are making it and your customers are not misled in any way.To be honest, most of your patrons might not have a clue as to what you've been doing up to this point,but I'm sure that as a professional you wouldn't let your standards diminish because they haven't noticed or commented?Maybe frozen dough in a gas assisted oven is the way to go and I've just been banging my head against the wall for twenty years.
It's been hashed out in previous threads,but the way it vents/draws,materials ,balance.fuel efficiency,recovery,dimensions etc are all points that should be considered.I was over simplistic with my analogy.I expect you'll make up your own mind about VPN and it's strengths and weaknesses as you learn more I presume.
I don't understand this response. You are apparently willing to look up a three month old post of mine to quote but you won't give a detailed answer to a specific question?
I'm sure one could debate the phrase "true Neapolitan" oven for some time with no objective conclusion. Suffice to say, for a commercial "Neapolitan-style" application the manufacturers/importers I've mentioned are more than adequate and have been approved by VPN in many establishments in the US. Personally, I think it a bit dogmatic and myopic to dismiss equipment that has been used to produce "authentic" Neapolitan style pizza for some time in this country. One must draw the "authenticity" line somwhere. For example, if we are in this country we are not in Naples. Nor is everyone that produces Neapolitan pizza a Neapolitan by birth, heritage or citizenship. Surely we can agree that claims to authenticity are highly subjective and in and of themselves, don't do much to further the discussion of how to make great pizza.
I do know Bill /sfnm has the same oven for 7 years? burning 5 times a week ? right Bill?
My theory is that the low dome of the Neapolitan allows the high temperature fast cooking times that the Neapolitan pizza is know for.So, is my thinking as a new Neapolitan lover correct or is my off base?Thanks to every one on the forum for there help this is an amazing board ,if you follow some these threads you are learning from very knowledgeable professionals.
I am looking at this post with a lot of interest and i didn't realize i started it . I have looked into both forno bravo and magnaini neither have a vpn oven. magnaini claims they are close to an agreement with the vpn group out of California .I have two options I can do an outdoor oven at my existing restaurant or, do a true Neapolitan pizza restaurant in a free standing location.If i do an outdoor oven i will be happy with either of the above since it will be used for Neapolitan night once or twice a week. the only dimensions i want are the oven dome to floor to be correct for pizza cooking. magniani claims to have the Neapolitan pizza dimensions needed. Now this is based on my home cooking so all of you that have been at this longer than me help with my observations. I have a hard time getting the pizza toppings and top crust cooked before my bottom get over charred.If i get my deck to 750 degrees my pizza cooks in under 2 minutes and the bake is even. if i try to get the deck to 850 or higher the bottom burns before my top is baked enough.I think that is because the oven doesn't have the right dome height to bake pizza evenly. i noticed the smoke layer you see in a true Neapolitan oven is maybe 6 inches above the pizza ,in my oven it may be 10 or more inches.My theory is that the low dome of the Neapolitan allows the high temperature fast cooking times that the Neapolitan pizza is know for.So, is my thinking as a new Neapolitan lover correct or is my off base?Thanks to every one on the forum for there help this is an amazing board ,if you follow some these threads you are learning from very knowledgeable professionals.
Well that is great information, i thought the oven was only to be of italian design with certain specs. I didn't realize that there were vpn approved pizzerias using the above mentioned ovens!!

Preview of U.S. Women vs China

LONDON (July 31, 2012) – The U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team will have another epic showdown in Olympic Games pool play on Wednesday at Earls Court in London as it faces China in a battle of undefeated teams searching for the outright lead in Pool B.
Team USA, ranked No. 1 in the world by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), has already been battled tested in the first two matches of the 2012 Olympic Games with victories over a Korea and No. 2 Brazil, both in four sets. Korea has become a rising power over the last couple years with Yeon-Koung Kim leading the way as the top scorer in the tournament with 63 points – 19 more than second-best scorer Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) of the United States. In a much anticipated match between No. 1 and No. 2 in the world, the Americans topped Brazil on the second day of competition. The contest was a rematch of the 2008 Olympic Games gold-medal match in which the Brazilians came away with a four-set victory.
Now Team USA will be test once again by No. 3 China, which has four-set wins over Serbia and Turkey to start the 2012 Olympic Games. Earlier this year, the Americans defeated the Chinese in the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round finale to capture their third straight World Grand Prix title. Absent from that match were Hooker, Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah), Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.), Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) and Lindsey Berg (Honolulu).
During the 2011 FIVB World Cup, the U.S. dropped China in a five-set thriller in which Hooker scored 39 points (unofficial DataVolley stats). The Americans would go on to finish with the silver medal at the World Cup and qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games. Earlier in 2011, Team USA won a three-set match over China as Hooker totaled 19 points in the opening weekend of the FIVB World Grand Prix.
During Olympic Games competition, the U.S. and China have split six matches. The Americans won the most recent contest with a thrilling five-set victory during pool play at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Overall, China holds an 85-36 record over Team USA in women's volleyball since 1983.
Team USA's offense has been paced by first-time Olympians. Hooker, who has become a dynamic and terminating opposite, leads the U.S. offense at the Olympics with 44 points on 41 kills and three blocks. Hooker ranks fourth in Best Spiker with a .391 hitting efficiency (41-7-87). Meanwhile, Larson ranks seventh overall in scoring with 34 points via 30 kills, three blocks and an ace. She also ranks eighth in Best Scorer with a .333 hitting efficiency and third in Best Receiver with an 83.3 excellent reception percent on 36 chances and just one error. Akinradewo has added 24 points for 22nd in overall scoring. Tom, a four-time Olympian, has 21 points and is sixth in Best Receiver with an 80.9 excellent reception percent.
Davis, the starting libero, ranks fourth in Best Digger with a 4.25 dig average, while both Tom and Larson average 2.63 digs per set for 16th place. Davis also ranks fourth in Best Libero with an average of 9.00 digs and excellent receptions. Berg is the fourth rated setter with an 11.38 running set average.
China is paced by Ruoqui Hui through the first two matches with 35 points for fourth place in Best Scorer. Junjing Yang follows with 27 points and star Yimei Wang with 25 points. Yunli Xu ranks fourth in Best Blocker with 0.88 per set, while Yang has added 0.75 blocks per set. Xian Zhang ranks second in Best Digger with 5.00 digs per set and is third in Best Libero with 9.38 excellent digs and receptions per set.

Okay, not really. But it was quite the argument at work the other day. It eventually became an argument of the difference between talent and success. Talent can lead to success, but just because one is successful doesn't make them talented. Blazay blazay blah.
Anyway, here was the question -- Overall, who is the more talented, well-rounded entertainer... Will Smith or Michael Jackson?
The question isn't who is more successful. Nor is it just about their music. And if it was, it's an obvious no brainer. Take into account everything; music, movies, television, the quality of, etc, etc.

Resident cries foul over CVCS hiring of coach
SINCLAIRVILLE – Public comment over the hiring of the daughter of a board member at a recent Cassadaga Valley Central School Board meeting became heated.
It wasn't the first time Lily Dale resident Robert Reuther had spoken up about what he sees as problems with the sports programs at Cassadaga Valley Central. In December, he advocated putting together a first-class athletic program, saying that athletes in the district aren't reaching their full potential.
At a recent board meeting, he questioned the hiring practices for coaching staff, addressing board president David Christy. Reuther specifically asked why a position for a modified softball coach was not advertised in the school district's official newspapers.
"You have artificially restricted the pool of candidates," Reuther said. "It is a misuse of taxpayer funds not to be able to bring in the best coach available."
According to Christy, in the district it has been "past practice" to advertise for the job internally. If there are no "qualified" candidates internally, then the district looks outside.
Reuther said that he goes to other districts where there are state champions while CVCS "made the sectionals twice in 40 years."
Christy defended the coaching staff. He said, "We never appointed an unqualified person to coach. Yes, paid staff is given a preference. … In my tenure on the board there has never been an unqualified person coaching."
He also said that one of the problems is when parents criticize the coaches, the students pick up on the attitude, and blame the coach instead of looking at themselves. Describing his own experience as a student-athlete at Dunkirk High School, he said his team called extra practices.
Reuther asked the board members if they felt there was a conflict of interest since the coach is the daughter of board of education member William Carlson. Carlson affirmed that he did vote for the appointment, and after more questions, told Reuther his actions were legal. In a level voice, he also invited Reuther to take the matter further if he believed there was a problem.
Reuther asked all the other board members – Christy, Jeanne Oag, and S. Carl Perry – if they saw anything wrong with the vote and each answered he/she did not.
Reuther left the board meeting shortly thereafter.
Jay Worona, general counsel for the New York State School Boards Association, said by telephone it is legal for a school board member to vote to approve employment of a spouse or relative. However, when a relative is hired, the school board must agree by a two-thirds (or super) majority. He also said that staff at a school receive first consideration.
The other unscheduled visitor to the board was Herb Best, a Gerry resident who said he saw the first graduation ceremony at the school when it consolidated and served for many years in the Gerry Fire Department. He read a couple articles concerning gun laws and violence in schools.
"We are sitting ducks," he said. He believed that principals should carry concealed weapons to use if necessary to save lives. The board made no comment, but thanked him for speaking.

Persée : tragedie
Date: 1722
Creator: Lully, Jean Baptiste, 1632-1687 & Philippe Quinault, 1635-1688
Description: King Louis XIV's involvement in campaigns against the Dutch/Swedish alliance in early 1682 prevented him from attending the premiere of Persée in April of that year. As was customary in the operas of composer Jean-Baptiste Lully and librettist Philippe Quinault, the prologue included references to current battlefield exploits and portrayed the king as a paragon of virtue. The prologues of previous Lully operas emphasized glory and prowess over virtue; the change in emphasis in Persée may have resulted from the increased influence of Madame de Maintenon (the king's new mistress) in the court and her pension for decorum.
Contributing Partner: UNT Music Library
Atys : tragedie mise en musique
Date: 1720
Creator: Lully, Jean Baptiste, 1632-1687 & Quinault, Philippe, 1635-1688
Description: Atys, which premiered on 10 January 1676, is the first of the tragédies lyriques of Jean-Baptiste Lully and Philippe Quinault to have a tragic ending. As the Prologue indicates, the tragedie itself is a divertissement to ease the king's mind of his impending duties. Joyce Newman, in Jean-Baptiste de Lully and his Tragédie Lyriques, summarizes the message of the story in this way: "In [Atys], Quinault shows how actions which are not in accord with the noble ideal will bring defeat and punishment. Not only is love in opposition to glory in this opera, but also it is shown that if love is place more highly than honor, it will bring unhappiness even to one of the immortals."

Great Product!
I am sorry the previous reviewer does not like seaweed. There is nothing wrong with this dulse powder at all. I am using it all the time in my food, especially on popcorn (try air-pooped with sea salt, olive oil, nutritional yeast and some dulse and/or cayenne!). It is an excellent product, and I hope to continue buying it here on Iherb.com. Thanks.

For those who like algae taste super product. Will order next time.
Great radiation protection!

Easy and handy to use, dulse is considered one of the best foods to pull radiation out of the body. Also adds flavor to salads and vegetables and great for green shakes!
a condiment must

put this in my green drink daily; dulse is great for Type O blood's thyroid. Sprinkle on popcorn or in foods as a great iodine boost & salt substitute. I believe it decreases the amt of gray hair as well.

April 8th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments
Just a quick update to let you know that the second episode of the Listener Feedback podcast has been released. The artist on this episode is Blackwell with his album Un4givable. Check it out here.
Previously I was running KDE 4.3.3 on top of Fedora 11 (for the first experiment) and KDE 4.6.5 on top of Gentoo (for the second experiment).
Feel free to visit me at my personal website here.
