I have a Breedlove Stage C25 SR with a StagePro element pickup and EQ. The endpin jack doesn't work any more (it totally cuts in and out depending on the exact position of the input cable - meaning, it doesn't work unless the input cable is adjusted constantly). I'm 99.9% sure it is the endpin jack after all of my troubleshooting - I don't know, may a wire got loose in it somehow although it seems like a simple device.
Question - does the entire unit (EQ and pickup/endpin jack) need to be replaced or just the endpin jack? I'm mechanically/electrically inclined, but it seems the only fix is to replace everything as far as I can see. Which stinks, when it is just a simple jack that is not working. I've never soldered before - but maybe just the jack needs to be replaced with some soldering?

We are opening a Pizzeria in April and are having trouble finding boxes. We need a slice box that will hold slices from a 22" pizza, as well as 22" boxes for the whole pizza. Any ideas where I can find these boxes. Thanks so much!!!!

About two months ago in this column, the question came up: Who will be DP? When the L.A. Galaxy signed David Beckham in 2007, MLS created the designated player rule to allow clubs to pay players above the league's $335,000 max salary. And with FIFA's international transfer window open throughout most of July, the Crew had the chance to acquire a foreign talent worth that kind of money.
They waited until the absolute last moment, but their patience paid off. With Federico Higuain, the Crew seems to have struck gold.
The Argentine forward, whose brother Gonzalo stars for Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid, made his Crew debut as a second-half substitute Aug. 19 in Houston. The impact was instant; Higuain lofted a gorgeous chip to a streaking Eddie Gaven, who buried it. Three days later, Higuain assisted Gaven again before scoring himself for a 2-1 home win against Toronto.
The real fireworks began three days later at home against New England. Higuain scored twice off of free kicks, "Bend It Like Beckham"-style, leading Columbus to a dramatic 4-3 victory alongside two goals from his new partner in crime, Jairo Arrieta.
Higuain was elated, and it showed. He stayed on the field after Saturday's match to sign autographs for fans in the stands, then joined the Crew's usual "autograph alley" meet-and-greet session afterwards.
"The people have been really supportive," Higuain said Tuesday through a translator. "I'm trying to give something back to the people who have been so helpful."
This was exactly the kind of welcome he expected after meeting with former Crew superstar Guillermo Barros Schelotto in advance of his move to Columbus.
"We talked about the city and how beautiful and how quiet it is, and how the people are very friendly," Higuain said.
Higuain obviously is feeling at home on the pitch too. His partnership with Arrieta has been especially potent, but Higuain was quick to spread the credit around.
"It's not just one or two players that are going to make a difference," Higuain said. "For sure, I have a lot of confidence right now, but that's with the help of the teammates and the coaching staff."
The guy isn't just doing everything right, he's saying everything right too. The Crew may have just discovered Schelotto's successor.

Aqib Talib Meets Patriots Media
Former Tampa Bay Bucs cornerback Aqib Talib met with the New England Patriots media for the first time since being traded. He said all the right things about looking forward to helping the team and how he was looking forward to playing with the Patriots. At times he looked like he was tiring of the questions but he gave a good accord of himself. Although it's hard to separate his off-field antics, Talib is an above-average cornerback that will be… Read More »

I had an opportunity to explore around Reykjavik so I also put some photos online, including a terrible one of Conor and Tarmo Uustalu (sorry!). By curious coincidence I bumped into, and got to hang out with, an old work colleague as well as a friend of the person who sits one office down from me at work, and Eben Moglen. Small world.

I've emailed the URL to some computing friends who want to learn more Math, and vice versa.
I've printed out some color hardcopies for people I know who are teaching Math from a CS perspective (including my B.S. Math, B.S. Computer Science son who entered Law school at age 18, and is doing telecom consulting software during this summer).

Thank you for your talk, I very much enjoyed it. It is a pity we couldn't get you a spot on TV though up here in Iceland :/

Hi Arnar,
I was a bit annoyed about the TV thing. I was supposed to be around at a certain time on my last day to meet up with a TV crew but they decided not to turn up after all. I really wanted to spend that day climbing up Esja which Ýmir had recommended to me. As it was, I had just an hour to attempt to run up and down it. As you can imagine, I didn't get too close to the summit :-( Still, what I did see was really beautiful.

The TV people had agreed on an interview but didn't show up? If so, that sucks.. to put it politely. I'll surely write some emails to express my opinion of that.
In any case, if you are ever back in Iceland and I'm around, I hereby offer you personally to take you (and Ýmir if he's around) on a 4x4 trip to the highlands for some real hiking - after you do Esjan of course :)

Skip to comments.Zoey Ripple, CU grad shot in Boulder home intrusion, 'disappointed' charges will be filed
Posted on 05/27/2012 7:39:12 PM PDT by grundle
Zoey Ripple (the drunk home invader)
Timothy Justice and Doreen Orion (the owners of the home)
The Boulder County District Attorney's Office announced Friday it will file felony trespassing charges against the 21-year-old University of Colorado graduate who was shot after police say she drunkenly wandered into a couple's Boulder home early Wednesday.
Yet defense attorney Colette Cribari said the incident was "out of character" for Ripple, who graduated from CU two weeks ago.
"She didn't enter the house with any intent of committing a crime or harming anyone," Cribari said Friday. "We're thankful she was not killed or more seriously hurt, but we're disappointed they decided to file charges on top of all this."
Prosecutors will file charges of first-degree criminal trespass of a dwelling -- a felony -- next week, according to the DA's Office.
Cribari said Ripple remains hospitalized but would not say where. Boulder Community Hospital officials said Ripple was not a patient there.
Police say Ripple entered the bedroom of a house at 425 College Ave. at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. The screen door was closed, but unlocked.
The owners of the house, identified by county property records as Timothy Justice and Doreen Orion, were in bed when they heard Ripple come in. In the darkness, they shouted to warn the intruder to leave and that they had a gun, but Ripple continued walking through the bedroom, and Justice fired one shot, police said.
When the homeowners turned on the lights, they saw Ripple on the floor with a gunshot wound to her hip and called 911, police said. They said they did not recognize her as anyone they knew.
The house, which county records show was bought for $1.7 million in 2004 and is listed for sale at $2.75 million, is at the western end of Boulder, where College Avenue dead-ends into the foothills.
Officials said preliminary tests indicate that Ripple's blood alcohol level was above 0.2 at the time of the incident.
District Attorney Stan Garnett said his office typically prosecutes about 12 to 15 cases a year involving drunken trespassing. He said there was a similar case Thursday night, though nobody was hurt.
"We see this pretty frequently," he said.
Garnett said the main goal in prosecuting such cases is to get defendants treatment for their alcohol habits. Although first-degree criminal trespassing can carry a sentence of one to five years in prison, Garnett said in cases like this, prosecutors often opt for treatment or lesser pleas in lieu of prison time.
"We try to help the person get the treatment they need for their drinking," he said.
Colorado court records show that Ripple was previously arrested on suspicion of shoplifting in Broomfield in 2010 and pleaded guilty. The charge was dismissed after a deferred sentence, records show.
Citing the "make my day" law, officials announced Thursday that no charges will be filed against Justice for shooting Ripple.
Justice and Orion are both psychiatrists. They haven't spoken publicly about the shooting.
According to a 1999 online article in Psychiatric News, Orion was stalked for at least a decade by a schizophrenic woman she treated briefly at an Arizona hospital. The article said the woman even followed her to Colorado and moved into the same Boulder neighborhood.
Colorado court records show that a restraining order was issued in 1994, prohibiting a Denver woman, who was then 42, from coming within 50 yards of Orion's office, home or car. The reasons for the restraining order -- or whether it was connected to the stalking case -- were not clear.
It's Boulder. They're all stoned.
Finders keepers.
Zoey is pretty - consequently, not guilty.
These folks live in a $2.75 Million dollar home, she has been stalked in the past by a schizophrenic, AND THEY DO NOT LOCK THEIR DOORS!!
Granted, drunks shouldn't be wandering around at night, but this just doesn't sound right.
Good thing she has her looks because she isn't going to be making a living off theoretical physics.
Motion seconded...
Hey, under different circumstances, they could have made it a threesome!/s;)
Funny how the OWS crowd in Boulder hasn't found the time to make it to the home of these 1%ers. Two lib shrinks packing heat in a $2.75 million house in the People's Republic of Boulder. Oh the irony!
Ripple is ghetto-fabulous!
She needs to go into rehab. I just happen to have a private clinic.
Count your blessings you are ALIVE first! Then be thankfull that you only facing charges and not dead at 21! You have the rest of your life to live a decent life and have kids or whatever............
The shrinks are crazy!
That's what I'm saying. It could have been a great night!
Back in my younger days, say 19-28 or so, I had an occasional blind drunk night. I never once found my way into any home but my own. I gave up the drinking and still find my way home to my house each and every day or night.
Let me know if you need assistance.
June 1970. HS graduation. Ripple was responsible (I certainly wasn't! /grin) for one of my more memorable hangovers. That's some nasty stuff.
Mad Dog gave me a terrible one once. Three MD 20/20's is not a good idea.
The homeowner was within his rights to fire on an intruder. I would add, though... That it's a good idea to put LIGHT on the subject just before pulling the trigger. They didn't know this girl was just drunk and no particular threat. A flashlight might have revealed that without having to take the shot.
So let me get this straight. They just shot her in the dark without knowing who it was or if the person meant harm??? Then turn the lights on??? Something doesn't make sense here.
If they had turned the lights on and seen this harmless wayward waif wandering into their bedroom, would they have still shot her??? Maybe that is what really happened. Do the lights in their house only go on after a gun is fired???
These people need a flashlight or a better story.
seriously, lock your doors, or maybe close your doors and if you don't want to do that, at least get a noisy dog...it's just common sense...
I'm not buying that they make these charges to get people "help" for alchol drinking....
the courts will waste a hundred thousand dollars bring this girl to trial.....why not just sit her down, offer some misdemenor plea, community service, etc. and go after the rapist and murderers...
Not guilty. This nitwit has been through enough and should not be prosecuted
BUMP that..
I doubt there is much crime in Boulder. Maybe they want to prosecute to keep the system churning and providing employment for prosecutors, defense lawyers, guards, clerks etc. Lots of people livelihood is dependant on crime
Oddly enough, I once did this. Many years ago on Martha's Vineyard I was drunk as a skunk. I got lost I guess but eventually found my way out of the house. Lucky that!
More on Zoey....seems like a girl of her age having some fun. You are only 21 only once
And so the homeowner has to wait to find out whether the midnight intruder that awakes them, means them harm?
I do not think so.
More on Zoey and more photos....seems like a girl of her age having some fun. You are only 21 only once. I think she has learnt her lesson.
"These folks live in a $2.75 Million dollar home, she has been stalked in the past by a schizophrenic, AND THEY DO NOT LOCK THEIR DOORS!!"
Apparently the stalking ended 18 years ago.
You neglected to include the sarcasm tag.
Granted, drunks shouldnt be wandering around at night, but this just doesnt sound right.
That was my first impression too until I read they were both psychiatrists. Psychiatrists are twice as likely to be crazy compared to the general population.
"These folks live in a $2.75 Million dollar home, she has been stalked in the past by a schizophrenic, AND THEY DO NOT LOCK THEIR DOORS!!"
Welcome to the warped world of Boulder, Colorado - where stalked psychiatrists seem not to lock their doors at night. Those homeowners are fortunate only a drunk student walked in. Had it been a bear or a puma, things might have been rather different.
There is a reason I dubbed that place the home of Boulder Dementia Syndrome (BDS).
That place is a bubble of Liberal insanity surrounded by reality.
I highly doubt that she would be even the least bit interested in your "offer".
The court wants money(fine).....no other reason to pile on.
She already suffered enough for her youthful stupidity.
Yes. If you take the time to find out who the intruder is, you might be the one who gets shot first.
Assistance in doing what?
"Apparently the stalking ended 18 years ago."
What walks out of the mountains just up the street and often is found stalking the streets of Boulder is good reason to lock one's doors.
Google cougar, Boulder, CO.
I will be waiting for her mugshot.
I saw you also posted to the person I was posting to. We were joking, save your pious bullshit for someone else.
Tell you what...you enter my house (drunk or sober) and I will shot you no questions asked. You have no right to be there. Period. End of story
Get serious. I am not going to ruin my dark adapted eyes by turning on the light. NOONE has the right to be in my home in the middle of the frigging night. Expect to be shot if you are.
I hear ya. The kids are long gone. I'll reach over to make sure the wife's there, then it's game on.
Course, this stumbling drunk would have had the three dogs up in arms first, but anyways......
My Liberal as the day is long B-I-L called me up the other day to ask my opinion on what Shotgun he should buy for Home Protection.
I answered his questions and gave my recommendation, all the while biting my lip.
These people Vote for Politicians that would not bat an eye disarming the entire population. Useful Idiots all.
Agree! Nobody should shoot without knowing who/what they are shooting at. Could have been a 10 year old for all they knew!
I'm not arguing with your position.
But you've got to admit that it's damned stupid to go to bed in a mulit-million dollar home and leave the doors unlocked!

If there was a support group for people who loved to exercise in need of a lead facilitator it would be me. I have always loved exercise; when I was young I "used" exercise as a means to make me feel better, to serve as a connector to other people and for its empowering way of making life more fun-today, I use exercise for enjoying those same experiences and for many more too.
If you are in need of a mental shift to the greater and brighter, if you live better in knowing that you are leading a proactive stance in your quest for health and longevity and or you prosper In the knowing that moving your body offers a sure-fire positive return on investment then embrace exercise in all of its many blessings with enthusiasm and gratitude today. Now, I do admit to know that I may be in the minority when it comes to my zeal and commitment to exercise. A common misconception around exercise is that it takes too much time. Here is an opportunity to heal that false belief; studies confirm that we can enjoy the proactive health and disease preventative benefits of exercise in as little as two to three 10 minute bouts of exercise supportively spaced throughout your day. Dedicating yourself to mindful movement before or after breakfast, lunch and dinner is a simple way to stay present to and for the opportunity to build fitness everyday. You can take that good habit and make it greater by adding intensity to each of these 10 minute wellness windows; by simply adding interval training practices or changing speeds and the intensity to your walking, running, biking, etc., you will maximize your innate chemistry for longevity, metabolism and overall results. In much the same way we practice and affirm the connectedness of all things-exercise serves to benefit all areas systems in our bodies too; our cardiovascular, immune, cognitive/neurological, hormonal among others are served by us choosing to move.
You can see and use exercise as a catalyst to support your spiritual practices too. All motion creates positive emotion. Throughout the day you can count on exercise to support you in affirming your intentions to live a God-centered life. If you find smaller, more limited thinking creeping in on you-move and make your mind bigger with possibility.
A powerful discovery that I have made is in how in moving in the morning before I pray, meditate and do my visioning I can enjoy a whole new level of clarity and power in these practices. You may know someone or a time yourself when you were meditating and doing all you could to awaken clarity and purpose only to be drawn to a yawn and a greater desire to go back to sleep. I have been there too, and by employing a new, empowered sequence of mind-body practices my Spiritual practice has become more alive with fire and purpose. The "recipe" is simple and effective, you use the power of natural chemicals that our body's are blessed with and put them to work; norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine are all ready and willing partners with you in building a clear, positive and alive vision for your life. And every time we choose to move we set them in motion too and they go out about the good business of enhancing our practice with confidence and greater conviction. Motivation to move first thing in the morning may be an issue, overcoming the inertia of laying bed may appear to big an obstacle… here is more good news, in as little as 5 minutes you can ignite a chemical cascade that will serve your body and mind with an effective dose of motivational medicine to get your through every daily practice.
At my spiritual home Mile Hi Church in Denver Colorado we are encouraged to "treat and move our feet" referring to using the power of affirmative prayer and mind treatment and taking action to support the desired outcome. Let's consider the power of adding active prayer to our practice. Active prayer is an opportunity to move our bodies which in turn move our minds to a higher place and knowing. We are given the power to choose to move, chose to move with gratitude, and with inspiration, knowing that with every step and every breath we are healing our bodies and raising our consciousness to heal the world around us.

When your friend wants to vent after an exasperating divorce-related experience, it's not only understandable, but necessary. A traditional African proverb says, "When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers." When you provide a safe, objective space to vent, you help your friend protect his or her "grass" – whether that's the children, mutual friends, extended family, or his or her own emotional and physical well-being.
Because it's likely your friend will not be at his or her best when venting, here are some ideas to help you be a more skillful, compassionate listener. Continue reading →

Hi fellow teachatters,
I've just started getting into puerh. Whilst I'm waiting for a whole bunch of samples from Jing Tea to arrive, I got the following cake from the local chinatown. No information whatsoever besides what's on the three pictures, no date, no recipe number nothing. I think it's CNNP but it looks exactly like a lot of other CNNP cakes. Might anyone be able to educate me a bit about this cake from the pics?
Much appreciated,

Crough, Dowling Deal NYIT Crushing Defeat
from press release
BROOKHAVEN, N.Y. - The Dowling College men's lacrosse team posted its second consecutive win of the week with a 10-7 victory over the New York Institute of Technology this afternoon at Golden Lions Field. The Golden Lions improve to 5-1 on the season, 2-0 in ECC play. The Bears fall to 5-3 overall, 2-1 ECC. Senior attack Matt Crough tallied his third hat trick of the season with senior Billy Richardson and sophomore Brian White recording two goals apiece.
NYIT took a 1-0 lead at the 4:25 mark with a goal from Ed Torriero assisted by Shawn Murphy. Dowling quickly evened the score when an NYIT turnover turned into a scoring opportunity for senior Kevin McElhone. Just about a minute later, Jacob Harding found Crough who put the Golden Lions ahead 2-1 heading into the second quarter.
The Bears evened the game at two goals apiece when Ryan Brunet finished a feed from Nick Olson 5:38 into the second frame. NYIT went ahead 3-2 at the 7:45 mark with Murphy's second goal of the day assisted by Brunet during a man up opportunity. With just over two minutes left in the half, Dowling goalkeeper Frank Sommers caused an NYIT turnover and following a DC turnover, Crough found the back of the net sending the teams into the break all tied up at 3.
Just one minute into the third quarter, NYIT's Will Kistinger recorded the Bears' lone goals of the frame. The Golden Lions wrapped up the quarter with goals from White, Richardson and Tom Cleary to head into the fourth ahead 6-4.
The Golden Lions opened the fourth quarter on Crough's third goal of the day and an unassisted score from White with 9:56 left to play in regulation, 8-4. The Bears closed the gap with back to back goals from Luke Miller and Cory Triola bringing the score to 8-6 with just under two minutes to play. Richardson and Chris Stemke answered with unassisted goals of their own putting the Golden Lions ahead 10-6 with 48 seconds on the clock. NYIT put up the game's final goal but it was not enough as the Golden Lions remain unbeaten in the 2014 season on their home turf with the 10-7 win.
The Dowling offense generated 41 shots on the afternoon with 21 on cage as nine different Golden Lions worked their way onto the score sheet. Six Golden Lions found the back of the cage in the victory.
Sophomore Michael Fitzpatrick was 13 for 21 at the face off X and scooped a game high nine groundballs. Long stick midfielder Sheldon Burns caused four turnovers and recorded three groundballs.
Sommers recorded his fourth win on the season making eight saves between the pipes.
The Golden Lions return to action Saturday, March 29th as they host Mercyhurst University at 1:00 PM.

Food Habits
This species is largely folivorous. It also eats flowers, fruit, and bark. The diet of E. fulvus varies slightly between subspecies and populations.
Red-fronted lemurs are mainly folivorous (leaf-eating). They also consume pods, stems, flowers, fruit, bark and sap of the kily tree (Tamarindus indica). However, they have very adaptable diets. These lemurs have the ability to shift their normally herbivorous diet to invertebrates and fungi when plant matter is scarce. Eastern populations are specifically known to include insects, bird eggs, and dirt in their diets. They are known to have higher dietary diversity than those populations found in the west and a unique predominance of fruit.
Common brown lemurs, white-fronted lemurs, and collared lemurs eat mainly fruit, young leaves and flowers. Sanford's lemurs feed on primarily fruit, occasional plant parts and invertebrates.

Jaime Hernandez: The 2009 Braille Silver Dollars celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Louis Braille. Louis Braille invented the Braille System which is used by the blind and the visually impaired for reading and writing.
The U.S. Mint offered the coins to the public beginning on March 26, 2009. The Mint offered both an uncirculated and proof version of this design. The pre-ordering price was set at $37.95 for the proof version, the pre-issue price was honored until April 27, 2009.
Regular ordering prices were then restructured after April 27, 2009 and the regular price was now set at $41.95 for each proof coin.
The Braille Commemorative Silver Dollars are the first coins ever struck by the U.S. Mint with the Braille characters. The reverse design has several dots which spell "Brl" or the contraction of Braille.
The maximum authorized mintage was set at 400,000 for both uncirculated and proof versions combined.

Highlighted by the London 2012 Paralympic Games, called the greatest Games ever by International Paralympic Committee President Sir Philip Craven, 2012 was a thrilling year for the Paralympic Movement in the United States and around the globe.
January saw alpine skiers achieving new feats on the slopes. In May, snowboarding was added to the Paralympic Winter Games programme for Sochi 2014. And who could forget Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee sprinter from South Africa, competing and the London 2012 Olympic Games just weeks before he went to the Paralympic Games? There were many exhilarating moments in between and beyond.
Records were broken by athletes including cyclist Joe Berenyi, discus thrower Jeremy Campbell and swimmer Jessica Long. And legacies were made. Rower Oksana Masters became the first adaptive athlete ever named USRowing Female Athlete of the Year. Her partner Rob Jones, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, was named USRowing Man of the Year. Swimmer Navy Lt. Brad Snyder won a gold medal on the exact one year anniversary of losing his sight from an improvised explosive device (IED) blast in Afghanistan.
The U.S. National Sled Hockey Team won another world title. Josh McKinney became the first U.S. Paralympic soccer (seven-a-side) player to get to 100 caps. Blake Leeper, a rookie sprinter from the United States, tied the world record set by Pistorius in 2007 in the men's 100-meter (T44). Swimmer Justin Zook claimed a third consecutive Paralympic Games gold medal in the men's 100m backstroke (S10). The U.S. Women's Sitting Volleyball Team took a set from China for the first time in history. And Team USA won a Paralympic medal, bronze, in men's wheelchair basketball for the first time since 2000.
Matt Stutzman of Fairfield, Iowa, showed the world you can be a champion archer without arms. Lex Gillette of Raleigh, N.C., showed the world you can long jump without sight. Paralympians everywhere showed the world there are no limits.
"In this country, we will never think of sport the same way and we will never think of disability the same way," said British Olympic champion runner Lord Sebastian Coe, chairman of the London Organizing Committee, during the Closing Ceremony. "The Paralympians have lifted the cloud of limitation."
For the Paralympic Movement, 2012 was 365 days of incredible.
But for Team USA, 12 moments were more monumental than the rest. From Dec. 20-31, USParalympics.org unveiled the Top 12 moments of 2012 for U.S. Paralympics in chronological order. The unforgettable stories of triumph that made the list:
U.S. Paralympic Alpine Skiing National Team wins the Nations Cup
At the International Paralympic Committee Alpine World Cup Finals in March in Panorama, British Columbia, Alana Nichols took three golds and one silver at the competition, which helped Team USA wrap up its first Nations Cup title since 2010. Team USA was sixth at the 2011 Nations Cup.
Team USA becomes the first team to win consecutive world championships in sled hockey
It was no April Fool's joke. On April 1, the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team won the gold medal at the 2012 International Paralympic Committee Sledge Hockey World Championship in Hamar, Norway, defeating Korea 5-1. With the win, the United States became the first nation to win back-to-back world titles.
Jeremy Campbell becomes the first Paralympic athlete to throw discus over 60-meters
At the Triton Invitational in San Diego, Campbell threw 60.19 meters, a new world record in the men's discus (F44). That impressive feat was no fluke for Campbell as he set the world record three more times in 2012. He currently holds the world record with his throw of 63.45 from the Endeavor Games. Campbell remains the only Paralympic athlete to throw over 60-meters in competition.
Jessica Long sets multiple world records on opening day of U.S. Paralympic Trials - Swimming
Long broke her own world mark in the women's 400m freestyle, which she set in 2009, with a time of 4:44.17, on June 14 the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Trials - Swimming. A little more than an hour later, Long bested her own world record mark in the 100m women's breaststroke (S8) with a time of 1:28.53. Additionally, her 50m split in that race also set a new world record time of 42.07. After her eight medal performance at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, she was named the Paralympic SportsWoman of the Year by the United States Olympic Committee.
Oksana Masters and Rob Jones row to historic bronze medal at Paralympic Games
Only two years after he was injured while serving with the U.S. Marine Corps in Afghanistan, Rob Jones and his partner Oksana Masters became the first American rowers to win a Paralympic medal in the trunk and arms mixed double sculls event. The U.S. crew came back from a sixth place start to secure the bronze medal. Both were honored by USRowing with awards after the Games.
Jeff Fabry wins the first Paralympic gold medal for USA Archery since 1984
London's Royal Artillery Barracks was the scene of one of the most dramatic contests of the Paralympic Games. After shattering his bow in the semifinals on Sept. 3, Fabry prevailed to make it to the gold medal match where he became the first American archer to win a Olympic or Paralympic Games gold since 1996 and a Paralympic Games gold since 1984.
Nick Taylor and David Wagner remain only athletes to win men's quad doubles gold medal at a Paralympic Games
On Sept. 5, Taylor and Wagner defeated Great Britain's Peter Norfolk and Andy Laphorne in a thrilling three-set victory (6-2, 5-6, 6-2) for a three-peat at the Paralympic Games. Since men's quad doubles debuted at the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games, only Taylor and Wagner have won. They were named Paralympic Team of the Year by the USOC.
Richard Browne goes from unknown to superstar in 11.03 seconds
The men's 100 meter (T44) final of the London 2012 Paralympics Games had been dubbed the "Race of the Games". It lived up to the hype, as hometown favorite Jonnie Peacock of Great Britain squeaked out the victory over 21-year-old Browne, an relatively unknown sprinter from Jackson, Miss. In his first international event, Browne won the silver medal with a time of 11.03.
U.S. Navy Lt. Brad Snyder has golden anniversary
What a difference a year made for Snyder. On Sept. 7, 2011, Snyder lost his sight when he stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED) while serving in Afghanistan. On Sept. 7, 2012, he stepped on to the top of the podium at the London 2012 Paralympic Games for the second time.
U.S. Paralympic Cycling Team has storied Paralympic Games performance
Team USA collected 17 total cycling medals in London – 12 in road cycling and five in track cycling, marking the most successful Games effort ever for the United States. Ten different athletes combined for the record medal count.
Victoria Arlen defeats Eleanor Simmonds of Great Britain to win gold in London
After three silver medals in three events, 17-year-old Arlen prevailed to win the gold in her final event, the women's 100m freestyle (S6). Despite a surge in the final meters of the race, Simmonds, the poster girl for the Games, placed second to Arlen, who spent three years in a vegetative state, ending in Dec. 2009.
Raymond Martin wins fourth gold medal of the London 2012 Paralympic Games
Just hours after leaving the Olympic Stadium with his third gold medal of the Games, Martin returned to the track for his 10:42 a.m. qualification race. He won the prelim, securing him a spot in the final, the third to last race of the program, scheduled for almost 9:30 p.m. That night, Martin pushed through the exhaustion to beat Japan's Ito Tomoya by more than a second. Martin raced a Paralympic record 30.25 to end the Games. He was named the Paralympic SportsMan of the Year.

Wow, what an evening. The opening ceremony was somewhere beyond spectacular. The sheer scale of it, especially the number of people involved, eclipsed the technology behind it. Not only were there tens of thousands of Chinese involved in the show, but they were not mere extras. Everyone was a skilled dancer/musician/acrobat/whatever. Those of us in the USOC section were constantly wondering what the organizers of the 2012 London Games must be thinking. How can they top that?
Getting home afterward proved far faster and easier than getting there: 30 minutes vs. two and a half hours!
The view from USOC was that our athletes (all the US -not just our USACK ones) did very well in the march. The new Ralph Lauren duds that were Norman Bellingham's inspiration looked sharp and everyone actually wore it. (David Lauren was here to inspect.) It was impressive how many pro athletes marched. Many NBA players, not just ours (plus Coach K), but Dirk Nowitski, Manu Ginobli, many others. When Yao Ming appeared to lead in the Chinese team it was magical.
Roger Federer carrying the Swiss flag was cool; so was Rafal Nadal, the Williams sisters, the Bryan bros., etc. The tennis team is staying with us at the Hilton, so I get to see them up close and large!
I have so much to do, I'm not sure when I'll get to actually see all the sites that we whiz by. I hope to report more tomorrow.
Did I mention before how hot it is? I bet I lost 5 pounds last night alone.

Talking pickle liquor
The Columbus Dispatch - March 04, 2013 04:53 PM
Add a new term to your environmental lexicon: pickle liquor.
Just what is pickle liquor? No, it's not the newest craze in flavored vodka. It's an industrial waste.
According to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency: "Pickle liquor is used to remove scale from metal during the steel making process. When the material is spent and no longer is effective, it's injected into a sandstone formation deep beneath the surface."
What's in it? Inorganic acids. Tha's what.
Why is it coming up? The Ohio EPA sent out a notice today that it is holding a public hearing on March 14 to accept comments on draft renewals for two underground injection control permits for AK Steel.
The EPA says that if it approves AK Steel's request, the company would continue to inject pickle liquor at its Crawford Street facility for as long as six years before the next required permit renewal.
Now you know.

5 Once-Great Retailers That Are Now Halloween Pop-Up Shops
Halloween is about as good a time as any to take U.S. retail's pre-holiday temperature, and the storefront corpses littering retail vacancy rates across the nation tend to chill things a bit. Even as the National Association of Realtors predicts retail vacancy rates will improve from 12% last year to 10% by the third quarter of 2014, some stores are still flatlining.
We took a look around the nation's strip malls and the dying indoor shopping plazas once known as "the mall" to find the companies most likely to have logos labels scarred onto Halloween pop-up stores. There are plenty of ghosts, cobwebs and Sexy Fry Cook costumes in the windows now, but those stores are still haunted by the ghosts of a more lively economic past:
5. The Gap
Stores closed: 189
The carnage started last year, but the clothing retailer of waning relevance closed the last of its surplus shops in 2013. It's hard to believe that consumers once cared about The Gap enough to protest a proposed logo change a few years back, considering they haven't been picking up the bags emblazoned with those logos in great numbers for a number of years.
It's not that the company itself is doing so poorly. It's just that consumers have been leaving the brand steadily since just after its khakis-and-swing-dancing days of the '90s and flocking increasingly to sister shops such as Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta. With many of this year's Halloween revelers too young to remember or care about Brian Setzer's version of Jump, Jive an' Wail, it's little surprise they keep passing up a store that hasn't changed with the times -- despite its best efforts.
4. Barnes & Noble
Stores closed: 189
Nook? What's a Nook? Revenue from the once promising e-reader plummeted 20% this year, sales of the readers dropped 23% and digital book sales fell 15.8%. Overall store revenue also dropped 10% as competition from independent booksellers, Amazon

In 72 hours, we could finally see the beginning of the end of the 'war on drugs'. This expensive war has completely failed to curb the plague of drug addiction, while costing countless lives, devastating communities, and funneling trillions of dollars into violent organized crime networks.
Experts all agree that the most sensible policy is to regulate, but politicians are afraid to touch the issue. In days, a global commission including former heads of state and foreign policy chiefs of the UN, EU, US, Brazil, Mexico and more will break the taboo and publicly call for new approaches including decriminalization and regulation of drugs.
This could be a once-in-a-generation tipping-point moment -- if enough of us call for an end to this madness. Politicians say they understand that the war on drugs has failed, but claim the public isn't ready for an alternative. Let's show them we not only accept a sane and humane policy -- we demand it. Sign the petition and share with everyone -- when we reach 1/2 million, it will be personally delivered to world leaders by the global commission.

(LONDON, ENGLAND) – American bantamweight Joseph Diaz, Jr. (S. El Monte, Calif.) claimed the first win of the Olympic Games on Saturday afternoon with a convincing 19-9 win over Pavlo Ischenko of Ukraine in first round action. The pair faced off in the first bout of the entire tournament with Diaz enjoying the distinction of the throwing the first punch of the 2012 Olympic Games. Diaz set the perfect tone for his American teammates, winning a 19-9 decision over his Ukrainian opponent in the U.S. opener.
Diaz took the ring first, decked out in his red USA uniform and American flag bandana in front of a packed house at the ExCel Centre. Both boxers looked for momentum early in the contest with Diaz staying busy early in the bout. He began to find his rhythm late in the round, landing several straight left hands to close the round, and held a 4-3 lead after the first.
Diaz continued his strong and effective boxing in the second stanza, staying aggressive and landing strong, accurate shots to outscore Ischenko by a 5-3 margin in the middle round. The 19-year-old held a 9-6 lead with one round remaining, but he refused to sit on his advantage in the final stanza. Diaz pounded Ischenko in the third, landing a wide array of upper cuts and straight left hands that stung his opponent. "I felt like he got a little tired (in the third round) and I felt like I was just getting started," Diaz said. "The first round I ended up winning but I wasn't really throwing as much. In the second round, I picked it up and in the third round, and I picked it up even more and that gave me the W."
He kept the pressure on until the final bell rang and was named the victory by a 19-9 final margin. Diaz's efforts earned him the first victory of the 2012 Olympic Games and got his American team off to a great start.
"It felt great just being in there. The environment is amazing. I just knew that I had to do what I needed to do and I prayed to God," Diaz said. "I just realized that this guy is human just like me. He sweats and bleeds, he's nervous just like me so I've got to do what I do and that's what I did."
Diaz now moves onto second round action and a rematch with Cuban world champion XXX on Wednesday, August 1. He dropped his quarterfinal contest at the 2011 World Championships to XXX, but believes that their Olympic match-up could feature a different outcome. "I lost by a few points the first time we fought and I feel like I could have done a little more and that's what I'm going to do Wednesday. On Wednesday, I'm going to give everyone a good show," Diaz said.
The 19-year-old California native enjoyed great support from both his teammates and five family members in the crowd, which included his parents and two sisters. His father and trainer, Joseph Diaz, Sr., could be heard yelling words of support throughout the three round contest and his son gave his father what he wanted on day one, a strong victory. "It really means a lot to have my family here. They're out there in the crowd cheering me on and I feel that momentum, Diaz said. "I feel that extra boost that it's giving me so I can give them that extra strength and that extra conditioning. My family means everything and I hope I can bring back a medal for them and help them out financially even more."
Diaz faced a stressful arrival to the ExCel Centre after the bus got lost en route to the venue and arrived much later than originally planned, but he refused to allow that to impact his focus, putting on a great performance in his Olympic debut.
Middleweight Terrell Gausha (Cleveland, Ohio) will take the ring in tonight's evening action, battling Armenia's Andranik Hakobyan at approximately 10:15 p.m. London time (5:15 ET).
U.S. Result
123 lbs: Joseph Diaz, Jr., S. El Monte, Calif./USA dec. Pavlo Ischenko, UKR, 19-9
Diaz quotes
"I have a really tough draw and I knew that the Ukrainian was a really good fighter and the Cuban is the number one seed but I fought him already and I have a different game plan so we'll see what happens on Wednesday."
"My game plan was just to maintain my composure and stay in on him. I knew that he had a very good hook. I watched his fights on you tube and I know that he was going to be really strong and his punches felt really hard but I know that I'm in really great shape. I had a great training camp and have a great strength and conditioning coach and I came and did what I did and I pulled it off."
"I think I lost by like seven points (to the Cuban) but I know that this time around, I'm going to give him a good fight and hopefully pick up that W."
"I believe it was just my speed. He probably thought I was a little slower than usual but I was kind of fast and I was just picking my left hand because I know he was just looking for my body shots. I was just picking my straight left hand and it was landing every time and I just thank God for this blessing."
"The uppercuts on the inside were working. I know that I was picking my body shots well and I was following it with the upper cuts and I just kept doing it throughout the fight."
It feels really great (to be the first winner of the 2012 Olympic Games). I'm giving the whole Team USA a boost right now. They're all motivated already. Everyone was already motivated because they want to get that medal but I feel like I motivated them even more. I feel that now they've seen the environment so they're not going to be that anxious and nervous. They're gonna be ready."
"I knew I was going to be the first bout today after my weigh in so I was kind of nervous, but I knew that no matter if I'm the first bout or the ninth bout, I'm going to do what I have to do."
"Ah man, the environment is intense, it's crazy, I really love it. Everyone cheering us on and everyone saying ooh when the punches land, its great."

Welcome to HAGI SSO 15 Sendai by Yamane Seigan, Relief for Japan!
(please see the first several posts by me for all information!)
This SSO is Super Special for several reasons.
This SO will be offered in TWO PHASES. Each phase includes premium quality Hagi pieces that were produced in a very limited and EXCLUSIVE run for members of TeaChat!!! You may never see this white/black/gold glaze again as it was purely an "accident of an accident." See below for more explanations.
Phase 1 will include 5 pieces that are upgraded and unique to SSO 15 Sendai, and are the most limited pieces. These pieces will be offered in an auction format. See below for how the auction will work, however bidding begins at 6 pm today via PM to me (Sunday and will run for 23 hours, ending at 5 pm Monday (one hour prior to Phase 2). The Phase 1 pieces include a dramatic notched foot and an upgraded box!
Phase 2 will be discussed in future posts in this topic beginning around 3 pm on Monday 5/23. PM order requests to me for Phase 2 will be accepted on or after 6 pm Monday. Phase 2 includes pieces with the exact same glaze as Phase 1 pieces, just a standard foot and standard wood box.
Some close-ups showing off the varied White/Black/Gold glaze in waves. Turbulent, beautiful, yes?
Here are links to my photobucket.
Examples of Phase 1 Notched Foot and Phase 2 Standard Foot.
Phase 1 Notched Foot selection. 2 pages!
I suggest you do NOT use the slideshow that makes the photos smaller. Instead click on 1 photo and then click next or previous. This will give you larger and more close up photos.
PLEASE pay close attention to the numbers as instead of #2 being to the left of #3, it is reversed, Japanese style. Same with #4 and 5. Each photo has a title for clarity!

IMO, thats bromated malted flour being exposed to ultra high heat. Would have helped if they let it ferment and turned it.
One question, was this pizza advertised as Neapolitan? Just because it's made in a WFO doesn't mean its Neapolitan.

Comments about Learning Resources New Sprouts® Picnic!:
The only thing I was disappointed in was that the cupcakes didn't fit into the "bake it" cupcake pan. They are just a little bit bigger than the cupcakes that came with the "bake it" set so we couldn't play with them in the cupcake pan too. Also, the ketchup & mustard bottles have strings that come out of them to make them a little more realistic in pretend play. Cool concept, but I'm not certain how well the bottles will hold up, as my boys like to swing them around by the strings. Guess we'll just have to wait & see. :-) Other than that, this product was just what we were looking for & expecting.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Absolutely Adorable
By theteacherswife
from Iowa
I received this to review and we absolutely love it. It is the cutest set and all of the food pieces store inside of the picnic basket. The ketchup/mustard even "pop out" to mimic real condiments. These are durable and brightly colored. This makes a great gift and is perfect for daycares too!

Fabulously Entertaining Play Food Set!
By Shelly H. ~ Two Classy Chics
from Harrisburg PA
We got this set for our 4 year old little grand daughter who has 2 play kitchens. Playing house and in her kitchens is one of her favorite activities to do.This set is a lot of fun and perfectly sized for little hands. She plays with this set for hours at a time!
Amazing Set for your little one!
By Cassandra
from Beaumont, CA
I LOVE this product and all the little touches that they put into it. The mustard and ketcup that "work". The colors used for this product are amazing. I would really suggest getting this for your kid that loves to play kitchen. My daughter loves to use it with her kitchen and make a picnic to "take with her". The quality for the "food" is awesome and is withstanding a two year old VERY well. I really suggest this product!
By Cher@MomandMore
from Chicago, IL
This picnic basket is first off adorable! It is the perfect size for little hands to carry and fits just enough inside for them. Since its cold out now, we have been having picnics inside and my kids think its so cool. With the set you get enough food for two plates worth plus the basket and condiments. I like how the meals include a piece of fruit and a treat in addition to the hamburger. The food is also not the cheap flimsy food that you buy a 50 piece set for $5 – it is a more durable plastic/rubber material. This food is definitely strong enough to last many playtime meals. The ketchup and mustard even have a string that you can push in or pour out to stimulate real ketchup/mustard pouring out. My favorite though is the cute little basket. It has become my 18 month old's carry all for everything. From play food to My Little Pony's to book, she loves her basket. I would recommend this set for any mom looking for a new toy for their child's play kitchen or something fun for outside play. Its also gender neutral which is nice!
Great for an Imaginative Picnic!
By Second Time Around
from Salt Lake City, UT
We loved this fun picnic set. It was so great to play with it especially since it's winter right now and we can't go on real picnics. I have a 4 1/2 year old and 10 month old and they both loved it! It's durable and chunky enough so that they both could play and hold it in their little hands. The squirting mustard and ketchup bottles are a lot of fun and my 4 year olds favorites! This is great for dramatic play. I would have loved it if it had came with a picnic blanket, but it didn't. We have a picnic blanket that we usually use on picnics so we used that and it really helped make it feel like a real picnic. **I received the product free of charge in order to do an honest review. This in no way influenced my review. My review is 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.**
Perfect Addition to Play Food Collection
By Liz P.
from Orange County, CA
This is a great addition to my child's play food collection. The basket is wonderful for allowing a child to tote their food along. Her imagination by playing with this "toy" becomes building blocks for real world scenarios.
Super cute!
from The Coast
Super cute set. The picnic basket itself is great as my little guy loves to carry his food around.I wish it came with a few more items like a drink, a veggie, burger toppings, but otherwise very fun!*I received this item for review on my blog.

Such a help to help my cravings on the candida diet :)

Tastes very good
Posted by 5625657342130073188 on Feb 16, 2015
Yacon syrup tastes great. We are trying to balance our sugar levels by avoiding regular sugar and agave. Good alternative to regular sugar if you have candida. Thank you
good taste
Posted by 4740545102944388281 on Dec 02, 2014
good taste but it does nothing for the appetite or the weight loss
Best tasting yacon syrup
Posted by lipslife on Apr 14, 2012
Not a bad sweetener. Doesn't affect blodsugar that much. Very sweet and caramel like flavour.
Organic Yacon Syrup

Posted by Reviewer2270242 on Sep 29, 2010
I personally dont really like the taste of it just like it is, and not in my tea either. But it gives a really pleasent sweet taste when used in foods/beverages with a more dominant flavour. But my mom loves it right from the bottle! hahaha
Best Yacon Brand
Posted by Reviewer2922397 on Mar 28, 2010
I use yacon syrup on my oatmeal b/c of its low-glycemic index. It's a short time to get used to the taste; certainly better tasting than molasses, though similar in texture. I've used yacon since 2007 and this brand is the best quality I've found, and iHerb.com offers it at a good price. The brand's 2010 jar/label change confused me initially, and the product seems to have a slightly less thick texture than prior.
Yacon syrup
Posted by Reviewer3017734 on Aug 31, 2008
Was great to sweeten my coffee. Better than sugar. Never tried it in anything else, but looks just like molasses.
Posted by Reviewer1274535 on Sep 21, 2009
Very high quality. Love this product! I am a holistic nutritionist and recommend this to my clients as a healthy alternative sweetener

Nia Simone Bijou is a woman who has it all - and is driven by the desire for more. Born in Trinidad, reared in Los Angeles, living in Atlanta, Nia is a writer, a thinker, and a woman in conflict. She's dealing with two sides of her Gemini self, feeling as if there are two women living inside her, both struggling for domination.
One side of Nia is a logical yet heartbroken person who has never let go of an old pain. The other side is a sensual woman who will not let her rest, desiring intimacy and sexual freedom, demanding pleasure.
In the sweltering heat of July, loneliness, desire, and a struggle with both the sensual self and fantasy inspire Nia to become sexually adventurous, meeting lovers who arouse her in diverse ways, lovers who give her unimaginable experiences, generous lovers who desire to please her as much as she desires to satisfy them. Fantasies spiral out of control, and with her life on the line, Nia discovers that pleasure does not come without pain.
Filled with passion, populated with characters that are sexually uninhibited, Pleasure is an unforgettable journey into a free-spirited world.
©2008 Eric Jerome Dickey; (P)2008 Brilliance Audio
"Susan Spain's emotionally nuanced reading successfully translates the book to audio format." (Library Journal)
"Not a Romance Novel"
This book should be placed in Erotica section not in the Romance section. This book is not a romance novel. This is a good book if you are not looking for a romance novel.
A few hot scenes are okay every now and then, but this was just too much. Some of the situations seemed unrealistic...totally and ridiculously unrealistic. However, if hot funky love is what you want, this one's for you.
I purchased this book, because it was listed as a fiction/romance (african american). However this book should be listed as erotica/sexuality. Not that I have a problem with erotica, but this book was non-stop sex and in the end there were no redeeming qualities about the characters involved. Sadly, this book depicts "successful, intellegent" people engaging in risky behavior. Listening to this book is at first arousing, then after 2 straight hours of "blow jobs" it gets old quickly.
"The Best Of The Best"
This book was very good I really enjoyed it.
This is erotica, and even though thats not what I was looking for it was great! Nia Simone protrays a woman's version of behavior that men are characterized as having.."Seeking full sexual pleasure without compromise". My only problem was that the author never mentions "saftey" during sex which cause me to go "ewh" at times, but that doesnt distract too much from the erotica of the sceenes.
Simply complicated. I like a little fiction in my life to break it all up. No time to read anymore so now I listen to my books.
"So heated! I had to put it down"
So eroticly good.
The twins sound like they were etched from chocolate.
Nia we are both Geminis & I can relate to the feeling of have two personalities that are polar opposites but live together. She is braver than I but I can enjoy living through her experiences.
I read this book a couple of years ago but I recently came across a kindle book on the character Nia that made me want to re visit this story. I cant believe how much I'm enjoying Pleasure the second time around.
"PURE TORTURE!!...but in a GOOD way"
This was my very first audible book. I would listen to it over and over. Eric Jerome Dickey is one of my favorite writers and I love anything he puts out. I've never experienced a bad book from him and I do not expect to.
Nia Simone Bijou is my favorite character. She is open and free, willing to sacrifice everything to find herself.
She is very articulate and can change from character to character flawlessly.
Pure Pleasure
This is one of the better stories I have read in a long time. Story ended realistically and I loved the passion and adventure. Nia took her Yoni and spectacular adventure and did some crazy stuff along the way. Thousands of thumbs up to Eric Dickey...Masterful work.
All I say is WOW! I'm huge Eric Jerome Dickey fan and I definitely wasn't let me down with this story. I found this book extremely intriguing. It has twists, turns, and lots of erotic surprises. It was very difficult to turn off this audible. And the narrator is simply amazing! I liked it so much I'm going to buy the hardcover copy.
"Gap Filler listening"
Not knowing what the next chapter was going to bring. I think ahead of the story and it was not what I thought it was going to be
The twin without the tattoo (Mark) as to me he loved 2 women but felt he had love for Nia Simone but was married and felt like he had to fulfil his commitment
When the twin wife confronted Nia Simone - (Jewel Storks)
Live your deepest fantasy
A well written detailed book. It capture me from the beginning

Maple-Walnut Cake
- For the frosting:
- 5 large egg whites
- 1 1/4 cups granulated maple sugar
- 4 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, at room temperature
- 3/4 teaspoon maple extract
- For the cake and filling:
- Basic Vanilla Cake , baked and cooled
- 2 5 -ounce jars walnuts in syrup, drained, syrup reserved, plus more for decorating
Make the frosting: Whisk the egg whites and maple sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) until the mixture is warm and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan and beat with a mixer on high speed until stiff, shiny peaks form, about 5 minutes. Beat in the butter a few pieces at a time, then continue beating until smooth. (Don't worry if the mixture looks separated at first; keep beating and it will come together.) Beat in the maple extract.
Assemble the cake: Poke holes all over the tops of the 2 cake layers using a toothpick. Spoon the reserved walnut syrup over the cakes, letting it soak into the holes.
Coarsely chop the walnuts. Transfer 1 cup frosting to a medium bowl; fold in the chopped nuts. Put 1 cake layer on a platter and spread the walnut frosting on top. Top with the second cake layer. Cover the whole cake with the remaining maple frosting. Decorate with more walnuts.

British Airways runs up to five flights to Ibiza daily, also providing award-winning service and a generous 23kg checked baggage allowance.
It's known as Europe's capital of hedonism, but there's more to the island of Ibiza than just clubbing. Ibiza also retains many reminders of its long history, some of which have earned the island a UNESCO heritage listing.
Undoubtedly, the bars and clubs of Ibiza Town – and recently Playa d'en Bossa – have attracted partygoers for decades. Much of Ibiza, however, is still lush forest – discreet and rugged. Northern beaches, such as the secluded coves in San Juan, still possess the attractive qualities that brought hippies flocking to the island in the 1960s. Quiet spots provide escapism in the busy summer months, with the former quarry of Atlantis and the hidden beaches near Cala d'Hort offering a slower pace. Old Ibiza hands come for the island's warm spring and autumn, where beaches, bars and restaurants are quieter and you're more likely to be rubbing shoulders with the locals rather than celebrities.

You can find everything you need in Ibiza Town, the island's largest city. A ten minute stroll from the beach, Vila d'Eivissa (as it's known in Catalan), has a bustling harbour decked with super yachts. Fantastic daily-caught seafood can be bought in the many cafes and bars. The streets come alive at night, with tree-filled plazas bustling with the evening crowd ready for the fiesta. You'll also find world-famous club Pacha in Ibiza Town.
Perfect for the budget conscious, this huge stretch of beach and bars is famous for its sunset DJ sets at Café Del Mar, its party atmosphere and many nightclubs. Yet with a lot of water sports on offer, including the new Ocean Mania inflatable water park, San Antonio offers something for everyone. However, if you are looking for a quieter, more relaxed time, then the Hotel Gran Sol is a cut above the rest.
The hip area of Ibiza, Playa d'en Bossa is the place to see and be seen. It has the best clubs, bars and hotels – like the stylish and exclusive Ushuaia Ibiza Beach Hotel – where the more affluent partygoer can dance the night away. High on the list to visit is the new Hard Rock Hotel, where live music acts play to huge crowds throughout the season. It has one of the longest beaches on Ibiza, with parasols and sunbeds to while away the day.
Portinatx, at the north of the island, is popular with families escaping the crowds of the bigger cities. You will find breathtaking scenery, beautiful beaches and hotels with great pools, like the Marconfort El Greco. The area is perfect for snorkelling, with crystal clear waters, hidden coves and welcoming golden beaches. You will find some great nightlife here too, but with a leisurely, relaxed mood.

About this set: My Cent collection was started in winter of 1968 as boy living in North Dakota with a father in the Air Force in Vietnam. I always had a passion for "Wheat Cents and Indian Cents", these sets, both published and coin albums will someday be my children's to enjoy. They may not be the most perfect cents but are still personal treasures and shine just as bright to me.
