Grosse contenance mais moins de goût que le sirop d'agave français (Léa nature) donc au final on en met plus.
Great Taste

Posted by Reviewer2550148 on Aug 12, 2011
Nothing too special here, but the price was great and I use agave occassionally to replace sugar
Very Good
Posted by Reviewer3165853 on Sep 13, 2011
Agave is my favorite sweetener and I would give this one 5-stars, but Wholesome's "light" version is not light enough. There's still a faint taste of the burnt mesquite flavor that dominates the "dark" agave. For the price this is an excellent buy, but my favorite is still Sohgave's "light", which is just pure delicate sweetness.
Great Depth of Flavor

We use agave for all of our sweetening and this brand is excellent!
very nice

YAML Ain't Markup Language
This module provides a Ruby interface for data serialization in YAML format.
The underlying implementation is the libyaml wrapper Psych.
Working with YAML can be very simple, for example:
require 'yaml' # STEP ONE, REQUIRE YAML! # Parse a YAML string YAML.load("--- foo") #=> "foo" # Emit some YAML YAML.dump("foo") # => "--- foo\n...\n" { :a => 'b'}.to_yaml # => "---\n:a: b\n"
Do not use YAML to load untrusted data. Doing so is unsafe and could allow malicious input to execute arbitrary code inside your application. Please see doc/security.rdoc for more information.
Syck was the original for YAML implementation in Ruby's standard library developed by why the lucky stiff.
You can still use Syck, if you prefer, for parsing and emitting YAML, but you must install the 'syck' gem now in order to use it.
In older Ruby versions, ie. <= 1.9, Syck is still provided, however it was completely removed with the release of Ruby 2.0.0.
For more advanced details on the implementation see Psych, and also check out yaml.org for spec details and other helpful information.
Commenting is here to help enhance the documentation. For example, code samples, or clarification of the documentation.
If you have questions about Ruby or the documentation, please post to one of the Ruby mailing lists. You will get better, faster, help that way.
If you wish to post a correction of the docs, please do so, but also file bug report so that it can be corrected for the next release. Thank you.
If you want to help improve the Ruby documentation, please visit Documenting-ruby.org.

CANON CITY — Fremont County commissioners voted to nip retail marijuana establishments in the bud after hearing lengthy testimony from both sides Tuesday.
Fifty people spoke out about the issue in a packed hearing room and, like the Amendment 64 vote to legalize marijuana among county voters last November, were divided.
"In Fremont County there were 9,813 yes votes and 10,311 no votes (in the election), so the majority of county residents were against legalization 51.24 percent to 48.76 percent," said Debbie Bell, Fremont County Commission chairwoman.
Several medical marijuana business owners and their employees spoke in favor of being able to transition to retail growth and sales to remain competitive in the industry. Alternative Medical Remedies owner Tom Bowman of Penrose said he was against legalizing marijuana but said, "It is the voters' will and it will be better if we regulate it."
Maggie's Farm owner Bill Concling, who oversees a medical marijuana grow operation in Penrose, said more than 15 of his 30 employees are Fremont County residents so the jobs the business provides are important.
"Penrose is turning into the pot capitol of Colorado," said Terry Palm, an opponent.
Palm said her home and 5 acres of property have two grow sites bordering it and she has been trying to sell without luck. She said she would walk away as a prospective buyer and does not believe she will get the value of what her home is worth.
Fremont County Undersheriff Ty Martin said his office is opposed to the retail trade because, "It is doubtful the revenue will cover the cost of oversight, but most importantly we believe it is bad for our children because we are seeing a higher number of marijuana addiction cases."
Penrose Water Board President Charlotte Norman said the board likely would have to have a moratorium on commercial water taps because of limited water resources.
Before the Fremont County Commission voted unanimously to put the ban in place on retail sales, growth, processing and testing, Commissioner Ed Norden said if state voters approve the marijuana tax issue in November, he may be willing to rethink the ban.
"I would be willing to examine closely the revenue question and look at another ordinance with appropriate fees. But I don't think it would include anything beyond what (medical marijuana facilities) are out there now," Norden said.

Retail Unbundling - Illinois
|Status: Approximately 75 percent of the residential customers in the State have access to unbundling programs.
Overview: Three natural gas utilities in
Illinois have customer choice programs that allow their residential
customers to buy natural gas from competitive suppliers. As of December 2009, about 271,000 residential customers were participating, down from the 277,860 participating in December 2008 but more than in the previous 2 years (234,763 and 206,776, respectively). All
customers of Nicor Gas Company (formerly Northern Illinois Gas), the State's
largest local distribution company with more than 50 percent of the
residential customers, became eligible for choice in March 2002. Since
then, enrollment by the company's residential customers has more than
tripled, from 65,833 in March 2002 to about 218,000 in February 2010. Customers
can change suppliers at any time or resume service with Nicor Gas,
although they may be subject to penalties or supplier exit fees, depending
on the terms of their contract. To withdraw from the program, customers
must notify the supplier. Once they have returned to service with Nicor
Gas, they have 120 days to choose another supplier or they will remain with
Nicor Gas for 1 year. In Nicor's recent rate case (March 2009), the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) extended the time that a customer has to select a new supplier from 45 to 120 days. It also specified that Nicor make its residential customer mailing list available to select suppliers and continue to meet with interested stakeholders.
In April 2009, the Illinois Governor signed an amendment to the Alternative Gas Supplier Law (SB 171) requiring marketers to provide clear disclosure of prices, terms, and conditions of all products and services in their sale solicitations. This legislation also prohibits suppliers from misrepresenting themselves and provides consumers with rights to withdraw from service if they find that the service is not as promised. As of December 2009, ICC had certified 16 companies as alternative gas suppliers, 11 of which serve residential customers. Eleven suppliers serve customers in Nicor's service area, 7 companies in Peoples' area, and 5 in North Shore's area. A year earlier 12 suppliers served customers in Nicor's area, 10 in Peoples' area, and 7 in North Shore's area.
|EIA State Data: In 2008, Illinois had 3,869,308 residential and 298,418 commercial customers. They consumed approximately 466 and 222 billion cubic feet of natural gas, respectively. The average prices residential and commercial customers paid for natural gas from local distribution companies were $12.07 and $11.70 per thousand cubic feet, respectively.
|Eligibility and Participation in Retail Choice Programs:
|Eligibility and Participation by Customer Class, December 2009
|Legislative and Regulatory Actions on Retail Unbundling
|Summary: Legislation enacted in February
2002 required the Illinois Commerce Commission to set certification standards for marketers
participating in customer choice programs in the State. ICC has had
the authority to allow customer choice programs since the beginning of
1998. In the fall of 1999, ICC proposed
standards of conduct for transactions between utilities and affiliates and
relationships with alternative retail gas suppliers.
A new law (Public Act 95-1051) that took effect April 10, 2009, expanded consumer rights and protections. In accordance with Section 19-125 of the Public Utilities Act, the ICC website now includes consumer education information to help residential and small commercial customers understand their gas supply options and their rights and responsibilities. The educational information includes choices available, guidance for selecting an alternative gas supplier, comparisons of the prices and terms of products offered by alternative suppliers, and procedures for addressing complaints.

Ignatius is also on the Cardinals kill-list.
Say what you will about Mitch Trubisky and the Mentor club and say what you will about the wisdom of going for two at the end of that 3rd OT, but Jesus, what an 8 day period of time for Trubisky, Fritts and that Mentor team.
Nearly 70% on almost 90 throws for a little less than a 1,000 yards and 6 TDs plus a couple more rushing? Big throw after big throw?
No idea what kind of college QB the kid makes at North Carolina, but what a ridiculous season and what a two game stretch.
I wouldn't have gone for two with the way my offense kept putting up TDs there, and I think Trivisoono is luckier than the hell that Mentor isn't in full blown revolt had they missed it, but that the last two weeks have been as good as you could ever ask from a drama perspective.

"Our attitude towards ourselves should be 'to be satiable in learning' and towards others 'to be tireless in teaching'," wrote Mao Zedong (Tse-tung to us oldsters), according to the U.S. Education Department's Kids' Zone web site. Actually, Mao wrote "insatiable," which makes more sense.
When someone objected to giving the "quote of the day" to a Commie mass murderer, it was replaced with a quote from Abraham Lincoln, reports Buzzfeed. That didn't stop the mockery.
The department apparently takes random education-related quotes from a database and puts them up without proofreading or thinking.
Mao was exhorting fellow revolutionaries to study and promote the Communist movement, writes Robert Upshaw on The Ponds of Happenstance. He found the original in The Role of the Chinese Communist Party in the National War.
Very clearly, the quote in context is about studying for the sake of propelling the movement, not for the sake of knowledge in its own right. And the teaching bit is about teaching others in order to bring them into the same movement. It's cult-speak, plain and simple.
"Insatiable in learning" and "tireless in teaching" are Confucian phrases found in The Book of Mencius, writes Upshaw.

But the United States, with some of the highest per capita emissions in the world and the second-highest overall emissions, after China, has made no commitment, and legislation to curb emissions, which narrowly passed the House this year, is not expected to be taken up by the U.S. Senate until after the Copenhagen session is over.
'We see changes that we did not anticipate two or three years ago.'Earth's atmosphere is already saturated with carbon dioxide. The answer to this question, the report says, is "Not even remotely. It isn't even saturated on the runaway greenhouse planet Venus, with its atmosphere made up of 96% CO2 and a surface temperature of 467 °C." Similarly, the report states, "global cooling" has not occurred over the past decade, "contrary to claims promoted by lobby groups and picked up in some media." In fact, "even the highly 'cherry-picked' 11-year period starting with the warm 1998 and ending with the cold 2008 still shows a warming trend of 0.11 °C per decade," the report concludes.

Lawmakers Receive FAA's NextGen, Reform Act Update
FAA Administrator Michael Huerta told a Congressional panel on Thursday that the agency is poised to meet 80 percent of the deliverables required on the 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform Act.
Huerta updated the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Aviation on the agency's implementation of the airspace modernization, safety improvements and government-industry collaboration required by the act. The act was the agency's first permanent budget-policy authorization in five years.
"Re-authorization required over 200 separate deliverables, nearly half of which were due within the first year of enactment. FAA is on track to meet or has met approximately 80 percent of those action items required to date in the law. We have currently completed about half of the deliverables in the law," Huerta told the committee Thursday, adding "as I'm sure you can appreciate, all action items are not created equal."
Thursday marked Huerta's second hearing of the year updating the House Aviation committee on his agency's implementation of the Reform act. This amid a year where he was confirmed administrator of an agency forced to oversee the sequestration spending cuts while awaiting the nomination and confirmation of a new Transportation Secretary.
In 2012, with the implementation of the Reform Act, lawmakers seemed to finally be giving FAA a steady foundation upon which to modernize the nation's air transportation system. But less than a year later, $85 billion in across-the-board government spending cuts were enacted, reducing the agency's budget by $637 million.
Aviation Committee Chairman Frank Lobiondo acknowledged "challenges" faced by FAA in implementing the goals of the 2012 Reform Act, which include implementing programs, research initiatives and government-industry institutional establishments for changing the radar based air traffic system to a digital satellite-based system, integrating unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System (NAS) and more. However, Lobiondo is still pushing for more rapid implementation of the act.
"The FAA has yet to complete some of the most important and challenging requirements of the law, including the unmanned aircraft systems integration plan to allow for the safe integration of UAS's by 2015, the small UAS rulemaking, the facility realignment and consolidation plan, and reforming and streamlining certification processes," said Lobiondo, adding the committee's desire to know "when we can expect to see more progress by the FAA."
Huerta addressed Lobiondo's comments during his testimony, saying the agency is currently in the process of implementing reforms suggested by the government-industry Aviation Rulemaking Committee to streamline the process for certifying new systems, components and technologies for airframes. FAA is currently in the process of preparing a report for Congress regarding the ARC's recommendations for improving the consistency of regulatory interpretations that impact all aspects of the aviation industry.
Both Lobiondo and Huerta made key comments focusing on unmanned aircraft, an industry that FAA is currently studying with plans to establish six testing sites throughout the country to asses how UAS interact with and act in civilian airspace.
FAA and lawmakers both want to achieve all of the revolutionary goals of the 2012 act, though it will not be easy if budgetary uncertainty remains, as Huerta put it.
"Even without furloughs, funding restrictions are preventing us from hiring and training our next generation workforce and are forcing us to rely on employee attrition to meet required deficit targets. Identifying and implementing processes that help us to do more with less is always a valuable exercise, but our ability to meet the long-term goals of reauthorization will be in jeopardy," Huerta said, concluding his testimony at the hearing.
The aviation subcommittee has scheduled its second NextGen listening session of the year for next week, where Lobiondo said lawmakers will interact with FAA and industry stakeholders "in a less formal setting," helping to achieve "real world" benefits from NextGen, the central budget-policy provision from the 2012 law.

White River Knives
We have carried White River Knives at the Knifecenter since 2012 and have been impressed with their products from the start. This company has access to very advanced machinery and experience in manufacturing precision tools that few companies, even large knife manufacturers, can match. They have come up with products that are really second to none we have seen in terms of quality of fit, finish, and materials. White River Knives has models that seem faintly similar to other knives from around the world because they take the best qualities of modern tactical knives, Finnish Puuko knives, various Fillet knives and put their own unique stamp of American design on it. Then they produce them out of the most modern and top quality materials. These are not bargain basement items, but quality items rarely are and White River Knives are all a good value. If you own a White River product, you have one of the finest knives produced anywhere and you should be able to own it, use it and pass it on to future generations just as you would other great knives of the world.
KnifeCenter started with this company very early in their existence. We recently increased our offering to include all of their models. These are great knives, made in Michigan to exacting standards by great folks that we are honored to work with.
Part of the White River classic series of hunting knives. This large traditional design looks great and performs better. The White River Clip Point is an heirloom quality knife that is built for hard use. The hand crafted genuine antler handle feels great and the 52100 high carbon blade holds an extremely sharp edge. Made to be passed down for generations, comes with a beautiful USA made leather sheath.
- Blade Length: 4.5"
- Blade Steel: 52100 High Carbon, 59HRC
- Overall Length: 9.5"

Yeah, I drink while breastfeeding, writes Katie Allison Granju on Home/Work. So arrest me.
A Grand Forks, North Dakota mother, Stacey Anvarinia, called the police to say her boyfriend had hit her. When they arrived, they found her breastfeeding her six-week-old baby, decided without testing her that she was drunk and arrested her. (Despite her bruised face, her boyfriend was not arrested.) Anvarinia later plead guilty to child neglect and faces up to five years in prison.
A drunken mother might endanger her child, writes Granju. But breastfeeding has nothing to do with it.
Let me be clear that I do not think being "drunk" while caring for a baby is a good idea, ever, whether you are breastfeeding or bottlefeeding, or you are the babysitter or the father or whomever. Tiny babies are rather fragile creatures, and drunk people are rather clumsy and lack good judgment. So if this woman was really "drunk" while caring for her newborn, perhaps there was cause for alarm on the part of the officers. She could have dropped the baby, for example. But arresting her, and pinning it on drinking whilst nursing has all kinds of problems.
Nursing mothers often take painkillers or antidepressants, Granju writes.
When I came home from the hospital after giving birth to each of my four children, I was sent home with prescription, narcotic pain pills like hydrocodone and percocet to take during the recovery period. And I did take them, happily. After my c-section with baby #4, I took them for several weeks because I was still hurting. The pills not only helped with the pain, but gave me a bit of a buzz. I believe it would be fair to say that I was nursing my babies "while high." Should I have been arrested?
In my day, women were told that a glass or two of wine or beer would relax mother and baby, making breastfeeding easier. In the days of wet nurses, the fee often included beer, ale, porter or malt liquor to keep the nurse mellow and the milk flowing.
Nowadays, pregnant mothers are warned not to drink at all during pregnancy, lest their babies develop Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, which is very serious. But once the baby is born, even heavy drinking is linked only to "drowsiness, deep sleep, weakness and abnormal weight gain in an infant." Light drinking is considered OK.
Dr. Lori Feldman-Winter, who helps oversee breast-feeding policy for the American Academy of Pediatrics, said the group considers limited alcohol consumption compatible with breast-feeding.
Imagine the furor if a father was arrested for smoking in near a baby, writes Amy Tuteur on Skeptical OB.
We like to pretend that we would never expose our infants to risk, but simply putting them into a car to drive to the store represents a risk far larger than the risk posed by breastfeeding while drunk (which is merely theoretical) or the risk of smoking in the presence of an infant (which is an all too real risk of illness and death).
This story suggests the police were offended because Anvarinia continued to nurse the baby while they were in her living room. I'm guessing these officers had no experience with nursing a hungry baby.
A heavy-drinking mother with an abusive boyfriend is not likely to be a contender for Mother of the Year. But the case sets a scary precedent.

Ishara Yar
this wiki
Ishara Yar was a Human female, born on Turkana IV in 2342. Ishara's parents were killed just after she was born, after which she and her elder sister, Natasha, were looked after by "some people" for a few months who later abandoned them, leaving Tasha to care for them both.
In 2352, when she was old enough, Ishara allied herself with the Coalition. Her sister left the planet as soon as she was able but Ishara refused to join her – she had already joined the Coalition and considered leaving cowardly.
In 2367, the USS Enterprise-D came to Turkana IV to rescue crew members who had escaped from the Arcos after a warp core breach. The Turkana IV Alliance had captured the two crew members and were holding them hostage in exchange for weapons. Ishara volunteered to help the Enterprise-D in its rescue mission.
She supplied the Enterprise-D with the location of the crew's escape pod, maps of the Alliance tunnels, and ultimately volunteered to create a diversion by setting off the Alliance proximity detectors so that Geordi La Forge could track the missing crewmen. She was stunned by a phaser blast, but Commander Riker brought her back safely to the Enterprise-D.
Ishara appeared to grow close to the Enterprise-D crew (Lieutenant Commander Data in particular) and indicated she wanted to leave the Coalition and perhaps one day join Starfleet. Doctor Crusher removed the implant that identified her with the cadre and she agreed to accompany the away team on a second mission to recover the Arcos crew.
However, while in Alliance territory – deeper than she could ever have gotten with the implant – Ishara took the opportunity to sabotage the fusion reactor that powered the Alliance defensive systems in order to enable a massive invasion by the Coalition. Data and Riker intervened by stunning Ishara so she could not shut down the reactor, then ultimately sent her back to her cadre, Captain Picard reflecting that they had all wanted to see more of Tasha in Ishara than had apparently been there. As she left, however, she told Data that the time they had spent together was the closest thing to friendship that she had ever known. (TNG: "Legacy")
Although she has not appeared in other media, in the novel Q-Squared, when the actions of Trelane cause three alternate realities to collapse into each other, Worf convinces an alternate Tasha Yar to help him escape Enterprise crew members from a third timeline where the Federation is at war with the Klingons by telling the alternate Tasha that Ishara regretted all the unhappiness between them, demonstrating a personal knowledge of her that convinces the alternate Tasha to trust him.

They have no use for West in that offense and I don't think they would trade Gasol for both of those players put together.... George doesn't handle the ball well enough to play in that offense.... ...
I would trade Gasol for Hibbert (we would most likely need a third team involved as Lakers dont need another max Center).
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
I would not make that trade. Hibbert still has some upside and is is young enough to keep improving..... ...
They'd take PG, Hill, West, Granger in a heartbeat.
But, don't get in the way of certain posters affinity for posting anything disparaging about this team/franchise/players they can.
I was saying they'd be interested in all of them. Not all in one trade, just that each player would be of value to LA.
West + PG for Gasol is far too much. That's two outstanding players on two outstanding contracts for a fast aging mega contract.
I don't want to trade with LA because they have nobody that we would want that would want to come here besides Gasol and Jodie Meeks.
God, I would hate having Pau in a Pacers jersey. Dude is super-soft.

"You bet I'd take Tebow late in games over ARodg."
"Manti Te'o: the next Ray Lewis."
I'd think that any trade for Gasol would require cap relief for L.A. I don't see anyway we can offer that unless it involved a 3rd. team. I wouldn't be willing to give up Granger, PG, or Hibbert due to Gasol's injury issues. L.A. will find a multi team deal where they'll fleece everyone and get back a young core player.
I think Gasol does get traded and to the Wolves.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.

In short: MuddyIn full: A great race, catering for all abilities. I'll try and coincide my next purchase of trail shoes ahead of next year's event because I was all over the place during the muddy sections...well, flat on my face at least.Date of review: February 6, 2013
In short: Great preparation for Birmingham HalfIn full: A really challenging 8 1/2 miles, but lot of fun...until the 1 in 3 climb a mile from the end which eliminated any lingering thoughts of trying to chase down the guy in front.Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Muddy...but exhilarating...In full: Only my 2nd half marathon and very different to the roads around Malvern a couple of weeks ago. Heavy rain had left the testing terrain even tougher with half of the course a mud bath. This made the climbs and descents even more challenging than they would have been, especially for a novice with no trail shoes! That said, I loved the course and atmosphere, and learnt from my previous half attempt to leave a bit in the legs for the last few miles. I even enjoyed the killer last uphill mile!Date of review: July 8, 2012

How to Handle an Interrupting Child
from The No-Cry Discipline Solution (McGraw-Hill 2007) by Elizabeth Pantley
Whether you're on the phone, busy on your computer, or talking to another adult, it can be frustrating when your children constantly interrupt you. What's surprising to learn is that they do it because they always get a response from you when they do! They've learned that you are willing to stop what you're doing to answer them. Keep in mind that children are so focused on their own needs that they don't realize that you have needs, too. They can learn how to pay more attention to other people's needs as well as their own, which will help control these endless interruptions.
Give lessons and examples
Teach your children how to determine if something warrants an interruption, as they may have a hard time deciphering when interruptions are justified. Discuss examples of when it's okay to interrupt, such as when someone is at the door, or if a sibling is hurt.
Coach proper manners
Teach your child how to wait for a pause in the conversation and to say, "Excuse me." When she remembers to do this, respond positively. If the interruption is about something that should wait, politely inform your child of this.
Don't answer the question
Many parents admonish kids for interrupting, but in the same breath respond to the child's interrupted request, which just reinforces the habit.
Watch your manners
Parents sometimes jump in so quickly to correct their child's bad manners that they don't realize that the way in which their correction is delivered is itself rude. Use your own good manners to model appropriate communication skills. Pause, look at your child, and say, "I'll be with you in a minute."
Teach "The Squeeze"
Tell your child that if she wants something when you are talking to another adult, she should gently squeeze your arm. You will then squeeze her hand to indicate that you know she is there and will be with her in a minute. At first, respond quickly so your child can see the success of this method. Over time you can wait longer, just give a gentle squeeze every few minutes to remind your child that you remember the request.

Gout: Causes, symptoms and treatment
What is gout?
Gout is a common form of arthritis where crystals form in and around joints causing pain, swelling and redness.
Gout often affects the big toe, but can also affect other joints including knees, ankles, elbows, thumbs or fingers.
Gout affects around 1 in 45 people in the UK, and is more common in men than it is in women. When women develop gout, it is usually after the menopause.
Image: Dr P Marazzi/Photo Researchers, Inc.
Attacks of gout can be unexpected and excruciatingly painful. With prompt treatment, the pain and inflammation usually disappear after a few days, but they may recur at any time.
Crystal deposits in the joints
Gout is the body's reaction to irritating crystal deposits in the joints. Here, uric acid crystals have affected the base of the joint of the big toe.
X-ray image: eMedicine.com, 2008
The pain can be intense, but treatment usually works very well.
In mild cases attacks may be prevented by diet alone, but recurring attacks of gout may require long-term medication to prevent recurrent attacks and damage to bones and cartilage and deterioration of the kidneys.
Chronic gout sufferers may feel tiny, hard lumps accumulating over time in the soft flesh of areas such as the hands, elbows, feet or earlobes. These deposits, called tophi, are concentrations of uric acid crystals and can cause pain and stiffness over time. If similar deposits form in the kidneys, they can lead to painful and potentially dangerous kidney stones.
What causes gout?
An excess of uric acid in the blood brings on gout. Uric acid comes from two places - produced by the body and from the diet. Any extra uric acid usually filters through the kidneys and gets passed in the urine. If the body produces too much uric acid, or fails to excrete it, crystals form and become concentrated in the joints and tendons. This causes swelling, pressure and severe pain.
Nobody knows exactly why gout develops. One of the most common factors that increase the chance of developing gout is excess consumption of alcohol, particularly beer because it is high in purines. Gout used to be known as "the disease of kings" since it was mainly seen in wealthy men who drank and ate too much. Now we know it can occur in anyone and can also be associated with an injury or surgical procedure, hospitalisation or periods of stress, or it can be a consequence of certain medication such as diuretics. Gout may also occur in the presence of some tumours or cancers. Research shows a relationship between gout and kidney disorders, enzyme deficiencies and lead poisoning. Gout may also accompany psoriasis or anaemia and is common in patients with transplanted organs. Susceptibility to gout can be inherited and is often associated with other common conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. Repeat attacks are common if the body's uric acid level is not kept under control.
Pseudogout is a similar but generally less painful condition caused by calcium pyrophosphate crystals in the joints. While it can affect the large toe, it is more commonly seen in larger joints such as the knee, wrist or ankle. More common after the age of 60 in both sexes, pseudogout is treated with anti-inflammatory agents or, in severe cases, surgery followed by cortisone injections.

Comments: Played a few matches with these shoes and with my play style of sliding, the front of the shoe has
already started to wearout, and my toes get bruised easy wearing these.
From: Kenneth, 4/13
Comments: These shoes lasted 3 months only and that was not due to heavy use, as I tend to rotate my tennis
shoes. The issue was with the stitching in the upper toe area. After 3 months, my big toe was protruding thru the upper. The
shoes themselves are very roomy so the issue was not due to size or a tight fit. The soles themselves lasted very well and the
shoes themselves were very comfortable. However the poor quality stitching has put me off NBs.
From: John, 4/13
Comments: I've worn a 9 my entire life and these shoes are honestly almost a size too big for me. I still can play
with them, but they are too big and I often feel myself coming out of them. I play at about a 4.5 level and these shoes just don't
do it for me.
From: Greg, 12/12
Comments: Wonderful shoe. It's been a long search to arrive here. Started with Wilson ProStaffs -- wore
them in high school and college, but my feet were getting beat up. Went to Babolat Propulse's -- good stability but the toe box
just starts tapering too early. Lots of toe problems (turf toe, losing toe nails, etc.) despite the shoe being plenty long. Then went
to Adidas Barricade 7.0s -- just couldn't get the fit right. I had to really cinch-down the laces to keep my size 14 foot from
sliding. I got it stabilized, but started have what felt like a high ankle sprain due to having to get the shoes so tight. Finally, I
decided to try these New Balance shoes based on a reviewer saying he came from the Babolat's. The shoes are light and nimble,
soft but not too soft, provides stability but aren't too rigid, etc. Plus they have the 1 year guarantee, cost much less than the other
shoes I've tried, and come from a great company (have worn their running shoes with great success). I couldn't be happier with
the shoes.
From: Martiin, 11/12
Comments: These shoes are awesome! I used to wear the Babolat Propulse, but I have really wide feet. I was able
to tolerate the Babolat's but they were never perfect for me. I finally bought a pair of the NB MC 1005s, and those have been
pretty good to me (nice wide fit in 4E) but they do seems to run big. I normally wear a 9 in every other brand, but had to go down
to 8 in NB. My only gripe w/ the 1005s was stability. My podiatrist felt they were a little weak in terms of resisting twisting and
bending. The 656 however, is great! SUPER solid and extremely stable. And now finally the color scheme is something I can get
behind. No more all white "old men's" shoes. And at the price, these are a great buy!
From: Stephen, 9/12
Comments: After playing about 15 hours in two weeks, the sole and shoe were separating. I had to return them.
From: Javier, 9/12
Comments: I switched from the Prince T22 due to a little toe rubbing issue to the New Balance 656's, and after 2
months they show minimal wear and are perfect for my feet. I play 4 times a week on clay and hard courts. With 2 pairs of thin
socks and Spenco Total support insoles, they outperform the T22's. One note, I wore a size 11.5 in the Prince T22, but a size 12
in the New Balance. Also switched to the new mesh tops, and so far it's the same results as the all leather. Very well-made shoes
at a reasonable price.
From: Barry, 8/12
Comments: Perfect for my feet. The soles are cut to be wider in forefoot than any other New Balance shoes. It lets
my feet breath and there's no cut off of blood flow.
From: Anon, 7/12
Comments: I thought I would need a 2E, but this shoe is very wide and fit nicely. It was great the first couple of
times playing with them. Broke in very easy. However, after about 6 weeks of playing 3 or 4 times a week, the bottoms are almost
shot, and the shoe is no longer giving me the support I need when running down a shot. The toe box is worn down and I feel like
I'm sliding around. I must say they are very light and comfortable, but if you plan on playing on a regular basis, though the cost is
reasonable, you might want to go for a shoe that offers more endurance.
From: Norm, 7/12
Comments: Note I haven't tried this new version particularly but I can say I've used this line since the
653, and an update after/in between. I can vouch for the first comment about the slippage in the prior versions of this
line on certain pickup/break movements. It looks like from pictures the mold hasn't changed but the uppers look to be
more contoured, light, and supportive, which would be a plus. This basically leads one to say that historically, this is a
wide, roomy line of shoe, both heel and forefoot, designed for a minimal arch. I have a slender foot, lower medium
arch. This shoe, I believe, in turn, is for the recreational shape player. I do not believe this to be an aggressive players
shoe. Forget excessive cuts/scrambles. In saying all of this, it is still a great, value line of shoe while in this mold. Stiff,
though flexibly supportive contours allow for some nimble, decisive play. The sole lasts for a long time, no joke.
Though this is not a shoe designed for incessant toe dragging play, (mind you). And with these updated looks, at the
current price/warranty, its a real shame that either this doesn't come in a market true medium (NB), or that my foot
isn't wider. If your foot is proportionally wide, low, and somewhat bulky, and you want a sturdy shoe to club-play in or
return to when your new spaceship technologic flashy one rips apart, or disintegrates, or worse, and this version plays
like its older similarly molded version. You'd have trouble not appreciating this solid performer, feeling secure (almost
unaware), and stabilized for the long run. It's not guaranteed for everybody, no shoe is. But for this specific fit and
known quality Id highly recommend a gamble (basing experience with similar predecessor version for people newly
interested in the shoe).
From: Jeremy, 5/12
Comments: I've been using these for about 6 weeks now, playing 2-3 times a week on a hard court. They
seem to breath well, are comfortable, and appear to be holding up well enough.
From: Tony, 5/12
Comments: I had the shoes for a week, then began to have heel problems. I've been wearing New
Balance for 20 years, never a problem. These shoes gave me a big problem, haven't been able to play for 3 weeks.
From: John, 5/12
Comments: For me, not a great shoe if you want comfort from your
shoes. Also, if you play a lot you will have to get new shoes because
the out soles wear out fast. The front of the shoes also wear out if
you drag your toes because there is virtually no front protection.
From: Ted, 4/12
Comments: Very comfortable, good shock absorbing, breathable and
light. Indeed more roomy in terms of width. The D feels more like 2E.
Length is true to size. Great for people with flat feet as there is
virtually no arch support. Love it. Only question is, will it last?
From: Fred, 3/12
Comments: It's extremely roomy a little low on the ground and it really good traction in fact the slip my
feet right
of the shoes while trying to go for approach shot. If you have narrow or medium feet don't buy it unless you buy at
least a 1 size

Market Preview: Up for Debate
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The big-cap stocks -- Apple(AAPL) , Google(GOOG) etc. -- may get all the attention but it doesn't hurt to take note of the prevailing sentiment about small- and mid-cap names as well.
After all, the Russell 2000 is up more than 13% so far in 2012, outpacing Dow Jones Industrial Average's 10%-plus gain.
Credit Suisse discussed the results of its most recent survey of investors who concentrate on what's going on in smaller side of stocks in commentary on Wednesday, saying the group is "generally constructive, with some signs of increased risk tolerance, as well as an inclination for sector rotation and a desire for new ideas."
The firm's poll of 100 mostly small-cap portfolio managers took place on Sept. 24-28, and it found 75% are bullish about the next 6-to-12 months, a level of optimism that far exceeds the optimism of retail investors, who came up 36.1% bullish in last week's sentiment survey from the American Association of Individual Investors , which asks its members what direction they expect stocks to head in over the next six months.
There was a small comedown when the timeframe was shrunk to the next three months with only 56% of those polled by Credit Suisse saying they're bullish about the final calendar quarter of the year. The expected weakness in corporate earnings contributed to the relative glumness.
"The optimism among investors does not detract from our own constructive stance, as the last 2 major R2000 peaks have been preceded by declines in short term bullishness," the firm said. "60% say small/mid cap valuations are fair while just 11% say they are pricey. Hopes aren't high for reporting season."
On a sector basis, technology, energy and housing got the most love, while the financials received a neutral review and materials remained "deeply out of favor," according to Credit Suisse, which also flagged a decline in bullishness about health care as worrisome.
When it comes to broad issues, the majority of the small-cap set -- 69% -- expect the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing efforts to help stocks but opinion was more split on how much of a boost the economy will see with 56% seeing no impact at all from the central bank's bond buying binge.
As for the big political questions that will move to the forefront of national concerns later tonight when the first presidential debate of the 2012 race for the White House takes place, nearly three out of every four respondents are expecting four more years from the incumbent.
"74% say an Obama win is likely, a big jump from 2Q12; but just 37% expect a related stock market pullback (31% say mild) vs. 56% in 2Q12," Credit Suisse said. "65% expect the dividend/capital gains tax cuts to expire, but 62% say any pullback would be mild. 66% are a little worried about the fiscal cliff."

The James Library at Rockingham Community College houses a wide variety of historical collections that may be of interest to anyone researching ancestors who lived in Rockingham County.
Included on the site is an article about the restoration of a flag of the Confederate States of America, which is believed to have been created in the summer of 1861 in Rockingham County.
The flag was donated by the family of Lieutenant Colonel Andrew J. Boyd, who was a prominent attorney and businessman in Rockingham County. Andrew J. Boyd enlisted in the Confederate Army in June 1861 as a lieutenant and quickly moved up the ranks.
Also on the site is a link to the e-Vault of the Rockingham County Register of Deeds. The e-Vault contains all of the county's land records since 1787.
You can also find research aids as well as information about private papers and collections, local historical newspapers, and nostalgic digital photos.

We had a lot of difficulty finding legitimate climate scientists who say that climate change is not a problem."had a lot of difficulty finding legitimate climate scientists who say that climate change is not a problem. There are very, very few of them out there. You know this debate — we consider it a fake debate — is basically a confusion campaign that has been initiated by these people that's taking place not in the scientific literature, it's taking place in mainstream media. So people have the impression that there is this raging debate among climate scientists about whether or not climate change is happening, but that is actually not true at all.
We should be pressuring reporters to ask these so-called skeptics tougher questions about their scientific credentials."communications objectives, there is something, in my mind, wrong with that. Being incompetent, which is more what we're talking about with the media, and being understaffed, or uninformed, or not well-educated on science — those are more competence issues, and I think that that's a lot less blame-worthy in my mind. Nevertheless, I think we should be pressuring reporters to start asking these so-called skeptics tougher questions about their scientific credentials, the science that they are publishing, and who's funding them.
There's nothing in those e-mails that should make anyone worried about whether the science behind climate change is real."grassroots organizations where you set up a group, like the Americans for Clean Coal Electricity. It sounds like it's some kind of community group. Well, it's not. It's an industry group that presents themselves as something that they're actually not. That I find really kind of distasteful and I think it kind of poisons public conversations around solving problems like climate change. Some of the other groups that are more ideological, I can understand. I mean I don't necessarily have a problem with somebody who is right of center and doesn't believe in government interference in various things. They have a right to think what they think and say what they say.

Here's how RW members rated this race (40 votes).
In short: Thankfully conditions were perfectIn full: Great race, just wish they could get the results out in a timely manner.Date of review: December 6, 2012
In short: Only my 2nd race ever and 1st cross country, but has me hooked. Still smiling! Free pint for racers at local pub, what more do you want!Date of review: December 3, 2012
In short: 2 evil climbs & 2 wicked descents on Chiltern trails. Left me grinning all Sunday!Date of review: December 3, 2012
In short: So nice to do an event like this - no timing chips, medals or any other nonsense. Just a friendly run for a fiver, great scenery, and fantastic run (if you like big hills!). Rivals races costing six times as muchDate of review: December 2, 2012
In short: Excellent! hard but feels great when you finish!Date of review: December 2, 2012
In short: Tough hills but more than worth it for the views and decents. Will be back for the December race for sure.!!Date of review: July 5, 2012
In short: Great little race -- highly recommendedIn full: A lovely, friendly race. Nice course, great atmosphere, cheap as chips. You won't regret it.Date of review: July 4, 2012
In short: Hard but beautifulIn full: I was last for quite a good section of this race, partly because I decided to walk the hills as the description ('run walk or crawl') had convinced me I'd have to, but actually it was no worse than Stoke Row or Toad Hall and I managed those. Still, I was determined to use the energy saved on the downhill and flat sections, and there's a beautiful expansive grass downhill in the middle that's the perfect answer to 'why do you do this?' That's the best section of running I've done anywhere this year. The other downhills are too treacherous to look at the countryside; get distracted for a second and a tree root'll have you flat on your face. I'll definitely be back next year to run the lot!Date of review: July 2, 2012
In short: great cross country 10k two nice hills to struggle on and two great decents to flydown!!Date of review: July 1, 2012
In short: Brilliant! Loved the views and the last descent, WOW! Trail runnig at its best, this is why we get out of bed!!!Date of review: July 1, 2012
