African Energy Sector is Open for Business
! We are aimed at supplying customers all over the world with medications of high quality at lowest prices thus helping to save their money and time.
The African energy sector is open for business. In actual fact there has been no better time than now to conduct business on the continent. The number of projects has quadrupled from that of 10 years ago and many of the continent's governments are now democratic, paving the way for economic growth.
In support of the opportunities within the energy sector, the annual Africa Energy Indaba which will be held on 21-23 February, has developed a unique roundtable which will focus and unlock the potential of this vital industry sector for companies wanting to tap into this market.
Paul Runge – Managing Director of specialised consulting firm Africa Project Access will be heading an energy roundtable discussion at the upcoming Africa Energy Indaba on February 23 February– opening up the floor for discussion on major energy greenfields and brownfields projects on the continent. According to Runge "the discussion will have a business focus and will also be very practical. We will look at projects from the ground up and talk about where things are headed. We will talk about export credit insurance, state organs that are able to help South African & African companies and projects throughout the Sub-Sahara region and regional interconnectors," says Runge.
Joining Runge in the roundtable discussion will be role players in some of these projects such as Ethiopia's hydro-power programme – currently the biggest hydro-power project in Africa. The roundtable discussion will bring together Africa's energy operators, financers and other important role-players. "It will be a great opportunity to learn of new and exciting projects and opportunities as well as network", says Runge. Templates of specific projects will also be made available to those attending.
The Africa Energy Indaba will take place at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg. This leading business forum brings together more than 300 senior level energy sector experts and decision–makers. Over 100 leading energy suppliers will also be present at the annual exhibition showcasing their latest technologies, equipment and services.
Delegates attending this year's conference are also invited to attend and take part in the roundtable discussion scheduled for February 23, 2012 and information is available on the event website www.energyindaba.co.za .
Paul Runge has 30 years' experience assisting companies to access business and projects in Africa. He has developed a practical rationale and methodology that will be of value to companies and organisations wishing to diversify their portfolio into Africa. His company Africa Project Access supplies approximately 80 companies and organisations with early alerts on projects across a broad range of sectors on the continent. As a former diplomat, Runge has useful background knowledge on the political and business landscape of the countries he conducts business in – a value add for the clients who seek his services.
Runge has lived in Gabon and supervised projects in the Cape Verde Islands, has spent six years with the South African Foreign Trade Organisation and has led many of the first South African business delegations into other African countries following the end of international sanctions against South Africa. He has furthermore, published a book, Potholes & Profits: Business (& other) Conversations and Experiences from Africa which is an anecdotal account of his experiences in a number of African markets.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Unemployment rates fell in more than half the states in March even though job growth slowed.
Rates fell largely because many of those out of work stopped looking for jobs and were no longer counted as unemployed.
Unemployment rates fell in 26 states, rose in seven and were unchanged in 17.
Only 23 states reported a net gain in hiring in March, fewest since August 2011. Employers cut jobs in 26 states, and New Mexico reported little change. That was much worse than in February, when 42 states reported job gains.
Nationwide, hiring slowed sharply in March. Employers added only 88,000 jobs, down from an average of 220,000 November through February. The national unemployment rate fell to 7.6%, but only because more people quit looking for work.
Nevada reported the highest unemployment rate last month, at 9.7%. It was followed by Illinois at 9.5% and California and Mississippi, at 9.4%. North Carolina had the fifth-highest rate, at 9.2%.
Rhode Island's rate has fallen from 10.6% to 9.1% in the past year. Florida's has dropped from 8.9% to 7.5% and Michigan's from 9% to 8.5%.
All those states have added jobs, although in Rhode Island the gain was only 700.
Illinois' unemployment rate has risen from 8.8% to 9.5%, and Mississippi's has jumped from 9% to 9.4%.

Calgary Flames 2012 Year In Review
Kent Wilson
January 02 2013 10:36AM
See: the previous year in review.
That's more than a tab glib, but the truth is despite the change in management and other shuffles in the upper office, the Calgary Flames season was more than a little reminiscent of the one before it: the club came out of the gates slowly, sunk to the bottom of the western conference by Christmas and then rebounded just enough in the new year to challenge for a playoff spot, eschew any meaningful roster changes and then bow out of the playoff picture in the last week or two of action. A familiar script three years running.
So because of that - and the fact there has been no 2012-13 action to talk about to date - there's little to discuss on the ice. At least at the NHL level.
Prospects and Managers
Off the ice, things were much more interesting. Jay Feaster had his first calender year as the organization's GM. John Weisbrod, Craig Conroy and Martin Gelinas are now permanent parts of the management/coaching regime. Brent Sutter was ousted in favor of Bob Hartley. Chris Snow was hired as a video/new stats analyst and the team starting looking beyond the WHL to places like college hockey and Quebec High School leagues for prospects.
Perhaps the most notable news in Flames land over the last year was the rise of Sven Baertschi and Johnny Gaudreau, both 2011 draftees. Baertschi scored at a two point per game pace for the Portland Winterhawks in his final junior season and then managed three goals in three games during an emergency call-up with the parent team. There's no question Baertschi is best forward prospect the Flames have had in at least a decade and that he would be plying his trade in the NHL right now if games were being played.
Gaudreau was the ultimate darkhorse when he was picked - the smallest player ever chosen by the franchise, his point-per-game freshman season turned out to merely an appetizer for his rise as a Boston College leader and favorite for the Hobey Baker award this year. Gaudreau is still very small and there remains sizable obstacles in his path to the NHL, but his rapid development since being chosen in the 4th round in 2011is compelling. Baertschi is the best prospect the team has seen in a long time, but Gaudreau might be the most interesting.
The Rebuild
Of course, the main question in the hearts and minds of Flames fans is if and when the team will actively begin to rebuild. There was a sense the tear down may begin this summer after a third straight year of high payroll and no post-season action. Instead, Feaster more or less chose to stay the course by hanging on to guys like Iignla, Bouwmeester and Kiprusoff while supplementing them with additions such as Dennis Wideman, Jiri Hudler and Roman Cervenka.
So while changes swirl behind the bench and in the Saddledome's offices, the stage was set for more of the same on the ice this season.
As mentioned in this space previously, the club is stuck in a sort of nebulous grey area from which there is no obvious escape; not bad enough to necessarily warrant blowing everything up and starting fresh, but not good enough to reasonably compete for a championship. The club's primary difference makers are, to a man, past their prime. The roster is especially light on guys in the 23-28 age range. On top of all that, Jarome Iginla and Mikka Kiprusoff are entering their late-30's and rapidly approaching the final years of their respective contracts, meaning there's a non-trivial chance one or both will either fall off a cliff performance-wise or be playing elsewhere in the near future.
The DNA of the Flames has for so long been based on a model of "play Iginla and Kipper as much as possible and, uh, find some supporting players" that the organization doesn't seem to have the emotional or intellectual wherewithal to deviate from that roadmap. At some point, though, the issue is going to be forced upon the decision makers one way or the other and that day looms larger every time the sun sets.
What the club does to prep itself for the inevitable change over will determine how successful - or how painful - the immediate aftermath of the post-Iginla/Kipper era will be in Calgary.
At some point action will resume (probably) and we will finally get a chance to see what impact additions like Bob Hartley and Dennis Wideman will have on the ice. The primary narrative going forward, however, is the enduring game of chicken the org is playing with a rebuild. The team won't be able to spin it's wheels as 9/10 club in the west in perpetuiuty, so the question is: will they be able to heave themselves above the playoff fold again? Or will they bottom-out completely and face an Oilers style reconstruction?
January 02 2013, 11:42AM
I wonder if the lockout has given the decision makers a little more time to get intelectually honest with themselves.
Realizing that you could potentially blow the last year of Iggy's contract and Kipper is that much older in my mind should be a wake-up call.
If the season does start this month, I for one am hoping we see a bit more of a shift come deadline time from the going for it mentality.
p.s. hat trick for Mr. Baker today against the Czechs!!!
Oiler style rebuild is not necessary. Assuming the Flames are a ways out of it by the trade deadline here is what I would do.... The pieces are there to start with. Trade Iggy for for picks, prospects and a 3rd line player. Trade Kipper for a pick and a younger goalie. Dump whatever bad contracts you can without costing yourself future. Fire your GM!! Fire Tod Button!!!
I really hope we do have a season & that will get us a chance to make the moves so we can begin this painful rebuild. Its coming & I just dont see how we can get around it. We just dont have future elite players coming into their own in the next 2-3 years & no one is just going to give us some. Iggy/Kipper/JBO represent very good players that carried that elite label(some will argue about JBO)but are not anymore but all these players could be valuable pieces for the right teams. It's time to get what we can and get some gems that will grow with the likes of Baertschi, Gaudreau, Cerevenka & Brodie. I like having Wideman/Tanguay/Hudler/Cammi around to give these kids room to develop. Facts are facts, this team is no longer a contender with Kipper & Iggy, just a lot more competitive. Time to get younger pieces so we can contend again. A few lucky trades & picks & some players blossoming & it may happen a lot quicker than one may think.
Flames with 5 horses in the WJC? 7 or 8 points today alone between Johnny and Granlund? Wotherspoon showing some promise. Strong young crop of goalies. Sven. Whoever made these calls should be given more chances to do the same. Weisbrod? Feaster? Even Button? Who knows. One side note with Sven, I can't help but see Marc Savard's face and it scares me a lot. Too much concussion time for our boy Sven in the last 2 years.
Flames management had to understand that the NHL was looking to reduce the share of revenue paid to the players, and that this would lead to lower cap numbers going forward. The team could well find itself in cap hell this year and next.(and not for the first time) The team missed a huge opportunity to dump salaries at the trade deadline, and handed out a couple of large 'free agent' contracts, that may well cripple flexibility going forward. Feaster and the new management team seem as unable to manage the cap as the previous team.

Sven had concussions? Seriously?
January 02 2013, 01:04PM
If the season starts shortly, does the trade deadline remain the same? The only way the Flames can become relevant in the next few years is by trading Iginla, Bow, and Kipper for picks and 1a/b prospects. I know that picks and prospects are not garaunteed to make you a contender year after year, but it sure as hell ups the odds. They arent a playoff team with these 3 untouchables, so why not go in a different direction and give the fans something to cheer about, players giving a crap.
The 2013 draft is a huge chance to become relevant again in a hurry. But everybody else knows that too. No one's going to want to give up picks. If they could find a way to get their hands on Drouin, that would be a giant first step.
@Jpinto - I don't think we need to waste Kipper to acquire a younger goalie. I'm sure we could sign Taylor or Brust, and Ramo is in next year; Ortio, Brossoit, and Gillies for the future - enough goalies!

Fire Tod Button!!!
In general agreement about moving our stars, but why fire Button? Draft history of this club has been not great for over 20 years (my opinion). Admittedly, Button has been a part of that having been with the club for what, 10 years or more? There have been reports that D. Sutter had a large amount of influence on drafting during a large part of Tod's tenure, particularily early picks. However in recent years (without Darryl), I would argue that the Flames have drafted better. In 2011 alone they grabbed Baertchi, Granlund, Wotherspoon, Gaudreau, and Brossoit. None are contributing to the parent club yet, but I think it could be realistically dreamed that they could all get there some day. 2012 saw the Flames grab Janko, Sieloff, Gillies, etc. Janko could boom or bust (as is the case with all these players), but at very least I feel confident in saying that there seems to have been an improvement in the selections this club is making, and Button would seem to be a major factor in these picks.
"the organization doesn't seem to have the emotional or intellectual wherewithal to deviate from that roadmap"
Great read, Kent.
Another year of missing the playoffs was another failure of the organization. The Flames are working hard to rebuild their cupboard of young talent, it still will take time.
To me they are still in transition mode, serious decisions need to be made about Kipper, Iggy, and Jay-Bo. Is this team really underachieving or is what we saw the best they can perform?
Maybe the hope is the additions of Wideman, Hudler, Cervenka can erase the void of Jokinen and Moss and add some more.

Sven had concussions? Seriously?
Yeah, he was concussed during the 2012 WJC. It's also possible that he suffered a concussion recently, although the official statement is that it's a neck injury.

Jackall MC60 Crankbait MR
The Jackall MC 60 has a fast wobble with a rolling action, similar to a hand carved wooden crankbait. The MC 60's fixed weighting system creates a low center of gravity. The MC/60 also has a specially designed wedge shaped, sharp lip that pulls more water, which creates more action. The Jackal MC 60 also comes in a 4ft diving version - the Jackall MC Crankbait SR

Comments: hi guys, this is low center crankbait, it has action on going deep and moving suspending around cover. It is good lure. I have jackall and they move different then other crankbaits like rapala, storm, kvd,ect... this moves more of center action and good action. I like it. If your looking for something different in crankbaits then try some jackall and new squarebill series when they come out. God bless you forever and Good fishing forever
From: Alex
Comments: great bait it catches them trust me goes to about 8 ft at the most but overall perfect
From: Kody
Comments: I bought one of these crankbaits about three years ago, and I was very impressed with the wobble of the lure. I have been told that it swims much like a wiggle wart or other balsa baits. Along with the Bandit 200's, this is my most productive smallmouth and spotted bass catching crankbait on Lake Cumberland.
From: John: Lexington, KY
Comments: First Name:a great bait got the super shad color and if you got baitfish coloer you gonna catch em up
From: Japan
Comments:If you like the old school balsa wobble then this is the bait for you. Pick one up and you will see. Also the finish is awesome. Very Very scratch resistant.

Welcome to Bub Hub
Welcome to our online support community! Before you get started, please take a minute to read what we are about. Some of our 100,000+ members have put together the Spirit of Bubhub Constitution, which encapsulates it all!
Spirit of Bubhub Constitution
Our purpose
This is a safe, respectful environment to give and receive support and information from others who have had similar experiences. We're also making friends and having debates, expanding minds, socialising, venting, and procrastinating about doing housework.
Our personality
The perfect analogy: we're a woman! We have our ups and downs, and moods, but we've matured over time. This forum acts like a sister with the way we can disagree, support, care for, and laugh amongst ourselves – and every other interaction we can think of – and still come back tomorrow.
The recognition
For regular, committed members, there are VIP sections as reward for posting so often. There's the VIP Trading section (to trade items between members), and the Marketplace (where you can advertise your business) which become available one you have 300 posts, and a couple of other VIP sections that aren't talked about in open forum; they become available after a certain number of posts too. Also, the more you post, the more love and adoration you get from other members, and who doesn't want that?
We also ask you to take a few minutes to:
- read our rules (below)
- check out our How To section for tips and guides to using the forum - here
The Rules
Our rules are simple - please have a read through as we will ask you to respect them and abide by them.
Please post in the Spirit of Bubhub
That means not:
No Advertising or promotion
- making rude, insulting or attacking comments to or about other members either in posts or private messages – What constitutes insulting/offensive comments
- posting comments considered offensive by the community at large
- revealing personal information about another member (past or present) that they wouldn't want generally known (malicious gossip)
- being deceitful or creating fake personas purely to mislead people
- posting contentious or deliberately argumentative posts purely for your own entertainment (known as 'flaming' or 'trolling')
That means not:
If you would like to promote a business service to your viewers, please view our advertising options page.
- advertising websites or business services (in which you have an interest) in any way shape or form, including:
o text or links in your signature, username or avatar
o sending promotional/advertising personal messages
o advertising in posts (including party plan, Tupperware businesses, self-promotion, etc.)
- attempting to buy/sell goods except in the official trading area
We understand that you are happy to recommend services and products to each other and that's okay, but promoting a service or product when you have a business or family / friend interest in that service or product is not okay.
Minor infringements
We respectfully request that members don't include the following in posts or personal messages:
Unacceptable infringements
- the condoning of illegal activity
- links to:
o websites which could be considered competitor websites to Bubhub
o online competitions, polls, or elections that are not part of the Bubhub website or from which you or a family or friend personally gain.
o any site at which members receive financial (or other) rewards for referring friends.
o any material that could be potentially offensive and or graphic (this includes links to jokes or YouTube)
o eBay stores- the moderating team simply do not have time to work out if it is YOUR business or not.
o general eBay auctions (the only exception to this rule is e-bay auctions that our members might find interesting or different e.g. funny/ abstract items up for auction.)
o Facebook business pages- the moderators simply do not know who owns what page, so please refrain from linking directly to a Facebook business wall.
- continual complaining about moderation decisions on the forum
- "Too much information" – e.g. extremely inappropriate graphical discussion
- repeated ticker infringements – Ticker specifications
- repeated signature infringements – Signature specifications
These unacceptable infringements will not be limited to actions taken on Bubhub. For example: if you defame Bubhub in print, online, television, on Facebook, etc., or continue to cyber-bully, or stalk a member on other mediums, we can remove your access to the Bubhub forum.
- cyber bullying (extreme bullying, stalking, harassment, etc.)
- malicious actions that are intended to damage or impact negatively on Bubhub's business.
Please note that there is a difference between feedback and genuine complaints, as opposed to downright insults and bad comments for your own entertainment, and the latter will not be accepted. This pertains to general posting style, including contacting moderators.
Rules for new registrants
New registrants who appear to have joined solely for the purposes of any of the following behaviours will be banned instantly. The ban will not expire. Bans will not be reversed unless there are extreme extenuating circumstances:
If you don't agree with our rules and think you'll struggle to stick to them, then maybe we are not the forum for you!
- previously banned member re-joining under a different username
- discussing illegal activity
- advertising or promotion (via posts, signatures, personal messages, usernames, etc.) If you would like to promote a business service to your viewers, please view our advertising options page
- deceitful posting (pretending to be somebody you aren't)
- posting purely to denigrate a particular business, service, product or medical practitioner
- posting hateful comments (e.g. racist, offensive comments, etc.)
- spam posting
- troll – i.e. somebody who joins purely for the purpose of posting contentious posts for their own entertainment
- registration IP address is recorded on spammer databases and similar tools
What happens if I break these rules?
If you break the rules (deliberately or not), our moderating team will make a decision on the action to take. This could mean a polite email from a moderator, an official warning, or infraction points.
Infraction points are like green, yellow and red cards in sport. You accrue points for certain misdemeanours. If you accomplish the difficult task of accumulating 10 infraction points, your forum membership will be revoked.
Infraction points do expire after a set time. The points and expiry period are:
Not posting in the Spirit of Bubhub - 4 points - expire after 12 months
Unapproved advertising or promotion - 2 points - expire after 6 months
Minor infringements - 2 points - expire after 6 months
Unacceptable infringements - total ban - no expiration
For more information on how infractions work, please read this How To Tip.
If you are banned, that means you will have accrued 10 points or more in less than a year. In this case, your banning will be PERMANENT and the timeframe for when points expire will become irrelevant. We feel that if you have broken the rules enough times to be banned, you will have received more than enough warning to change your behaviour before being banned, and therefore continuing to break the rules is completely unacceptable, and your access to the forum would be removed indefinitely.
Permanent bans will only be reversed if there are extreme extenuating circumstances.
What happens if I think somebody else has broken the rules?
If you see a post somewhere around the forum that you don't like or is against the rules - spam, advertising, insulting comments, etc. - you should report it so that the moderators know.
Please don't retaliate in the thread, report the post that offends you and let the moderators handle the situation
Here's how to report a post.
Our Moderators
The Bubhub Community Forum is moderated by a group of volunteer members. The Forum Moderators donate their time to ensure that the forum remains polite and friendly, free of advertising, and that forum issues are sorted efficiently.
Please appreciate that the moderators may not always be available to answer questions due to their own work/family responsibilities. If you do contact a moderator, please allow them a reasonable and fair amount of time to respond.

Calgary/Chicago Parallels
Kent Wilson
February 05 2009 11:00AM
Although the team is busy having closed door meetings, there isn't too much to complain about in Flames country currently. I mean, there's the road record, but Im not too worried about it.
Otherwise, the Flames are golden. They are ensconced in 3rd in the Conference, with long views between the teams ahead and behind them. Injuries are few and Kiprusoff has actually looked like a starting goalie the last month or so. We're a month away from the trade deadline and two months away from the post-season. Manufacturing concern is going to be difficult for awhile here. When "guarding against complacency" is your primary concern, you're in a good place.
The Blackhawks are in town and they're in a similar situation as Calgary: well positioned in the standings, without much chance of being caught or moving up. They have an outstanding +40 goal differential which is somewhat misleading because I think they're a club that's riding the percentages a bit. Not to say they aren't a good team - one that will even improve down the road - but the truth of the matter is they probably aren't yet in the same league as the San Jose Sharks of the world.
That said, Chicago is chalked full of interesting players; a lot of them young up-and-comers. Im really impressed with the likes of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, while Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook form the back-bone of a defense corps that may well turn into the envy of the league in short order.
Martin Havlat is the guy Im going to watch tonight, though. Not only has he managed to stay healthy for the first time ever, he's quietly made the leap into the realm of legitimate difference-makers this year.
I say "quietly" because his point totals are merely "good" at first glance: 16-24-40 in 49 games, meaning he's not getting a lot of press. What makes Havlat an excellent player, however, is the fact that Quenneville is giving him what I call the "Tanguay treatment" - which comes from the manner in which Keenan employed Tanguay as a Flame last year. For those unaware, Tanguay was played with lesser linemates and deployed against the other teams better players on most nights. His counting numbers took a hit as a result, but his underlying stats remained stellar, despite the tough circumstances.
That's Havlat's story this season. His regular linemates are Andrew Ladd and Dave Bolland - hardly world beaters. In every game versus the Flames this season, Havlat has played against the Iginla line and often come out ahead, which is indicative of his responsibilities and results. His underlying numbers are top-shelf (+12.2 CORSI, 2.38 ESP/60, +12) considering his assignment, meaning Havlat is likely one of the under-appreciated reasons for the Blackhawks success this year. He's certainly a player of interest if Chicago loses him to free agency this summer and a guy who might be under-valued given his "just okay" counting stats and injury history.
I'm thinking a Calgary victory tonight. We're due in general and we're due against Chicago.
good stuff. love the frozenpool thingy.
btw isnt keenan doing the same thing this year, playing 17-22-7 against tougher competition than the 13-18/24-12line? looks like it according to btn.
22 for selke.
Not really. Keenan tends to shelter Langkow/Bert somewhat.
Their BTN numbers even out, I think, because other clubs target that line when the Flames are on the road. Also, sometimes Jarome sees the "Pahlsson" type checking lines, which show up as "marginal" opposition by Desjardin's assumptions.
That link didn't work above. Here is it again:
I'm thinking Flames victory tonight. Its just one of those feelings I might have. I like that Iggy, Sutter and Keenan will absolutely not accept it and I assume the team will respond. If nothing else theyll respond to avoid the patented Keenan bag skate to end all bag skates tomorrow and whatever Sutter will do should they but in a half-assed effort again. Im not sure what exactly he is capable of but I imagine no one will win if he employs it.

In Indiana, a school corporation is required to provide a kindergarten program for eligible students that are 5 years old on or before August 1 of the school year. Although providing a half-day kindergarten program satisfies this requirement, a school corporation may provide a full day kindergarten program as an alternative or in addition to a separate half-day kindergarten program. Additional funding for providing a full day kindergarten program is available through a Full Day Kindergarten (FDK) Grant.
In the 2013-2014 budget appropriation, IC 20-43-14 SECTION 302 states that school districts shall receive $2,448 for each full day kindergarten student reported on their ADM report for the 2013 school year in addition to one half of their funding formula allocation for each student.
In the 2014 school year, school districts will receive $2,472 per student based on the number reported on their ADM in addition to one half of their funding formula allocation. There is no separate grant application needed to receive this grant.
A school corporation or charter school that receives a distribution under this chapter may not charge a fee for enrolling in or attending full-day kindergarten in a school year.

Exeter Chiefs host Gloucester in the final round of the Premiership on Saturday, knowing a Heineken Cup place is within their grasp.
Exeter Chiefs host Gloucester in the final round of the Premiership on Saturday, knowing a Heineken Cup place is within their grasp.
Victory for the Chiefs this weekend will not only guarantee them of the final qualification spot, but it could also see Rob Baxter's side leapfrog their rivals in the league standings and potentially claim fifth spot for a second successive season.
However, fighting for the same space are Bath – who themselves face a testing final day trip to Saracens – after their latest win at home to Leicester Tigers saw them keep their own European aspirations alive and kicking.
For Baxter, his focus – and that of his team – is solely on the visit of the Cherry and Whites and ensuring they continue their impressive run of Premiership form that has seen them win five of their last six games.
"To be at this stage of the season with still something very important to fight for is an important place to be," said Baxter.
"The fact it's for a Heineken Cup place is just fantastic. I've said before, it's not the be all or end all if we do or don't get into the Heineken Cup, but what is important is that we keep developing and we keep taking steps forward. The last four or five weeks have been great for us and I look at the way the players have attacked games, especially to go after the top half of the Premiership and that makes me immensely proud.
"They have shown it's very important to them to be seen as a good side in the Premiership and that they want the challenge of the Heineken Cup. Now it's in their hands because they have worked extremely hard to create this scenario, one in which they are just one game away from making important things happen. Now they have to go out grab it with two hands, not be afraid of it, and be excited about it."
Buoyed by their impressive win at London Wasps a fortnight ago, it's little wonder that Baxter sticks with an unchanged match-day squad for their final outing. That means the Chiefs will again be led out by long-serving number eight Richard Baxter, who will be pulling on an Exeter jersey for the final time.
In a 16-year career with the club, the 34-year-old forward has amassed over 430 appearances and scored 126 tries.
Meanwhile, Gloucester Director of Rugby Nigel Davies has selected the same starting XV that defeated Saracens a fortnight ago.
With his starting XV unchanged, Davies only makes changes amongst the replacements. Hooker Darren Dawidiuk is back after suspension and Mike Tindall and Shane Monahan come in for Ryan Mills and Martyn Thomas.
Speaking to the media this week, Davies insisted that it was important for his side to finish this season on a positive note.
"When you look at the fixture, you'd say there is everything for Exeter to play for, to get that all important European qualification, and nothing for us," said Davies.
"But that's certainly not how we're looking at this game. We're very much looking at this as the start to our next season.
"We've failed to get into the top four, probably because we haven't been able to go to places like Exeter and get a result. It's very important that we establish the right mindset and focus to be able to do that.
"They're a very competitive side, play some good rugby, score lots of tries. From what they say, they were frustrated by the result up here and will be looking to make amends for it. So, it will be a tough afternoon for us."
Form: Five wins from their last six Aviva Premiership games have catapulted Exeter up the table, and with Bath two points adrift in seventh place any sort of win will secure a top-six berth for the hosts. Exeter's future lies in their own hands with victory guaranteeing them a place at Europe's top table. Bath could still spoil the party should they emerge from Saracens with victory on the final day of the season and Exeter slip up at home. Gloucester's only defeat in their last four Premiership encounters was 9-32 at Sale on 12th April. Gloucester have already secured a European Cup spot for next season, but have not won on the road since beating the Saints at Franklin's Gardens in round 14. Gloucester have the slight edge in previous Premiership encounters with the Chiefs, gaining three wins to two including an 18-16 victory at Kingsholm on 22 December.
The teams:
Exeter: 15 Luke Arscott, 14 Jack Nowell, 13 Phil Dollman, 12 Jason Shoemark, 11 Matt Jess, 10 Gareth Steenson, 9 Haydn Thomas, 8 Richard Baxter (c), 7 James Scaysbrook, 6 Ben White, 5 Damian Welch, 4 Dean Mumm, 3 Hoani Tui, 2 Jack Yeandle, 1 Brett Sturgess.
Replacements: 16 Chris Whitehead, 17 Carl Rimmer, 18 Craig Mitchell, 19 Aly Muldowney, 20 Dave Ewers, 21 Will Chudley, 22 Henry Slade, 23 Ian Whitten.
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 Charlie Sharples, 13 Henry Trinder, 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 Jonny May, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Dan Robson, 8 Ben Morgan 7 Akapusi Qera, 6 Sione Kalamafoni, 5 Lua Lokotui, 4 Tom Savage (c), 3 Shaun Knight, 2 Koree Britton, 1 Nick Wood.
Replacements: 16 Darren Dawidiuk, 17 Dan Murphy, 18 Yann Thomas, 19 Peter Buxton, 20 Andy Hazell, 21 Dave Lewis, 22 Mike Tindall, 23 Shane Monahan.

Posted on 11/08/2012 7:29:31 PM PST by Nachum
President Obama's second term may include some cabinet reshuffling, and guess who might become Secretary of Defense.... Yes, Chuck Hagel.
Many believe that current Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is only going to stay on as long as he has to, and sources say candidates for replacing him are already being discussed.
Chuck Hagel, former Republican senator from Nebraska and good friend of the Presidents, is being mentioned as a top candidate according to Politico.
But the prospect of Hagel in such a high-level position would be a cause for concern for the state of Israel seeing as he has a history of castigating the Jewish state while also downplaying the threat of its enemies.
He is one of the most hostile critics of Israel that has ever been in the Senate, Morton Klein, President of the Zionist Organization of America told The Algemeiner.
There is only a handful of senators that have been openly hostile to Israel and Chuck Hagel is one of them, he added.
(Excerpt) Read more at israelmatzav.blogspot.com ...
I'm predicting a world war.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
He may hate Israel but I don't think he hates the military as much as Obama.
He was on PBS tonight. He looked like hell. I tuned him out but did wonder why he was on.
Good. Let the bad blood out instead of sharpening the knives at the dinner table.
He could appoint mayor Bloomberg as Sec Def for all I care. The sec def follows direction of the president ,
So it doesn't really matter in the end .
Same here, and it's not going to be a walk in the park like the last 2.
Glad Hagel is gone from my state, but worried what this douche-bag can do to the rest of the country!
Does anybody else besides me wish these scumbags would just disappear, go away, vanish or take a trip with Wylie Coyote?
Oh my God.
Yes, Chuck Hagel.
Then it should be "rhymes with F***"
It appears Deb Fischer was on to something...
OMAHA, Neb. Democrat Bob Kerrey got an atta-boy Thursday from former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel, who said the former senator would break the partisan nonsense thats literally strangling our country. Republicans supporting GOP hopeful Deb Fischer in Nebraskas tight Senate race scoffed and suggested Hagel was sniffing around for a cabinet seat under President Barack Obama.
Jews get what they voted for.
Hagel will be called the Marxist's token Republican, when in fact, he's just another traitor and Israel hater.
Pray more than ever for Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Not a fair statement. That's like saying all US citizens voted for Obama and that is why was elected.
If 70% of Americans voted for Obama, he would most definitely have a mandate for total socialism since "the people" overwhelmingly supported it. As it stands, half of America did not support him.
Let me know when half of American Jews start opposing the Democrat's agenda.
This Hagel guy REALLY is a troll LIB posing as a Repub.
Damn happy Deb Fischer defeated Hagel's butboy, Bob Kerrey
That's outrageous. Hagel is worse than a democrat. He's a traitor to our military with an ugly agenda.
I can see it now: The lamestream applauding the Marxist for selecting a "republican." Give us a break.
Sounds like BHusseinO's choice for the job, if he hasn't already promised it to Valerie Jarrett or "reverend" Wright, that is...
There are many Jewish Freepers, so Perhaps you should not speak for them.
It'll be even worse than that. The msm will have the gall to call him a "Conservative Republican". Bank on it!
"There are many Jewish Freepers, so Perhaps you should not speak for them."
Pray for the peace for Jerusalem!
Yeah, well, didn't most of the Jews go ahead and vote for BO anyway. Doesn't seem like they give a rats a#$ about Israel to me.
I'm amazed he hasn't picked Powell yet. He may be saving him for the VP slot once Jackass Joe 'retires' for health reasons.
He should just appoint Colin Powell if he wants a token Republican. After all they are both black-sort of.
Perhaps I am tired of hearing fellow freepers continually claim that Catholics are "wholly owned by the Democrat Party" when 50% of Catholics vote for RATs, but Jews are "in play for the GOP" when 70-80% vote Democrat in every election for at least the last 80 years.
We have black freepers too, but nobody pretends black Americans are a "swing vote"
I tend to agree with you. Support for Israel is not a priority for the majority of Jews in this country, let alone the rest of the electorate. Oh, and for those that bring the biblical doom to this country for not supporting Israel, I guess you missed the last two presidential elections. The doom is already here.
You're right!
You could be right and Colin likely has to ask Alma...lol.
ROTFL @ "sort of"
And here I thought he'd choose WEASLEY CLARK the perfumed prince.

After narrowly missing a bid to the 2013 NCAA Midwest Regional tournament, Lewis University head men's basketball coach Scott Trost and his troops have some unfinished business ahead of them.
"Our guys have something to prove (after missing the tournament)," Trost said. "We learned that you can't take any nights off and you can't take anything for granted. "
The Flyers enter the 2013-14 campaign as one of the 'youngest' experienced squads in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Lewis has only one senior on the squad, while the rest of the junior ladened team has accounted for 168 starts.
"There's no substitute for experience and hopefully our guys can use last year's disappointment as motivation," Trost said. "Our guys are looking forward to the challenge, because the GLVC is the toughest Division II league in America and I think we can be very successful as a team."
The most experienced of the bunch is junior shooting guard Ryan Jackson (Bolingbrook, Ill./Riverside-Brookfield). Jackson has started all 56 games that he has appeared in a Flyer uniform and has a career average of 15.0 points and 3.3 rebounds-per-game. As a sophomore, Jackson averaged 16.9 points-per-game, on his way to All-GLVC First Team and NABC All-Midwest District Second Team accolades.
Entering the 2013-14 season, Jackson was named to both the Sporting News and Division II Bulletin Preseason Honorable Mention All-America teams.
"(Ryan) is obviously a focal point of teams coming in here and playing us or wherever we go," Trost said. "He's got to elevate and understand his game as far as making teammates around him better.
"Ryan has worked awfully hard to get to where he is (today)," Trost continued. "I expect (Ryan) to be one of the better guards in our league, and if that's the case, the country too."
Another junior that started immediately upon his arrival was forward Julian Lewis (Flossmoor, Ill./Homewood-Flossmoor). Lewis has started 51 of the 54 games that he has appeared in, and has averaged 7.7 points and 5.6 rebounds-per-game for the Flyers. Last season, Lewis was seventh in the GLVC in rebounding, grabbing 6.3 caroms-per-game and was named to the All-GLVC Defensive Team.
Trost believes that Lewis has made the biggest jump as an individual following the off-season and during preseason camp.
"Julian Lewis (Flossmoor, Ill./Homewood-Flossmoor) has been unbelievable, he's playing with great confidence and a little bit of swagger," Trost said. "I think he has the ability to be the best rebounder in our league on both ends."
Trost has seen an improvement in Lewis' offensive play as well.
"He's shooting the ball well, creating off the bounce and getting to the rim," Trost said. "He's just doing a lot of really good things on the offensive end."
Lewis junior Jeff Jarosz (Lyons, Ill./Morton) started all 28 games for the Flyers at point guard and immediately made his presence felt. Jarosz averaged 9.1 points-per-game and dished out a team-best 2.7 assists-per-game. Jarosz is complimented by fellow junior guard Gabe Williams (Chicago, Ill./Farragut), who averaged 4.7 points and 0.9 assists-per-game in 28 games off the bench for the Flyers last season. Williams has the ability to play both the '1' and the '2' positions for the Flyers.
Page 2 of 3 - "They are both good players," Trost said of Williams and Jarosz. "Gabe has more of a scorers mentality than Jeff does.
"Jeff gets everybody involved, while Gabe shoots it well and really scores it," Trost continued. "I'm feeling really good about where we are at that spot."
One of Trost's most versatile players is senior guard Nick Valla (Tinley Park, Ill./Marist). Valla has the ability to play anywhere from point guard all the way down to the power forward position. In two seasons in a Lewis uniform, Valla has averaged 5.4 points and 1.4 rebounds-per-game in 57 contests.
"Nick brings a toughness (to the team)," Trost said. "He's a great mid-range shooter with a lot of experience and confidence; and we will expect him to provide great leadership to this team."
Sophomore center Kyle Nelson (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North) had an outstanding rookie campaign for Lewis, as he started all 28 games and averaged 7.9 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, while adding 42 blocked shots – which was second overall in the GLVC. The St. Charles, Ill., native shot a team-best 57.7% (90-for-156) which was good for sixth overall in the GLVC.
"(Kyle) is kind of an unorthodox player who has a European look to his game," Trost said. "He is kind of sneaky, tricky and he shoots it well facing the basket.
"He has gotten stronger since last year and that experience can do nothing but help him," Trost continued. "We're looking for him to improve on his numbers and give us more."
Another freshman that gained valuable experience was 6-foot-8 center Brad Foster (New Lenox, Ill./Lincoln-Way Central). Foster appeared in all 28 games off of the bench for Lewis and averaged 3.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 13 minutes per contest.
"(Brad) has come back stronger and has made himself a better player," Trost said. "He needs to keep working, and needs to play with a little more of a sense of urgency at times, but certainly had some games for us last year where he looked unbelievable.
"We're anxious to see how Brad develops here."
Stretching the defense for the Flyers will be junior forward David Niggins (Naperville, Ill./Naperville Central) and freshman guard Capel Henshaw (Harrisburg, Ill./Harrisburg) as both have the ability to hit the three-pointer. Last season, Niggins shot 42.3% (22-for-52) from long range and averaged 3.8 points and 3.6 rebounds-per-game in 28 contests.
"When David is playing well, he makes us a very difficult team to defend," Trost said. "He plays a stretch '4' for us and he has developed his skills in fitting in what we need him to do.
"We are looking for David to be a major contributor to our success this season."
Henshaw, a 6-foot-2 guard, helped Harrisburg to the IHSA Class 2A State Championship in 2013 and left as the school's all-time leading scorer.
Page 3 of 3 - "Capel is going to be a good player," Trost said. "I thought he was as good of a shooter as I saw on last year's AAU circuit.
"He needs to develop certain areas of his game - and he will - because he is as hard of a worker as we have on our team."
Redshirt freshman Jared Ellis (Marion, Ill./Marion), a 6-foot-8, 210-pound center, hopes to make an impact for the Flyers in his rookie season.
"(Jared) is still developing and is very raw but there's a lot of things he does that you can't teach," Trost said. "He's athletic, has great timing and can be a defensive presence (for our team).
"His offensive skills are developing and I look for Jared to develop into a very good post player in the GLVC."
The Flyer frontline will be bolstered by the return of junior Mantas Dubauskas (Naperville, Ill./St. Joseph) and sophomore David Heckman (Greenwood, Ind./Roncalli).
Dubauskas, whose career has been plagued by injury, has appeared in 25 games in two seasons for the Flyers.
"Mantas is going to bring you great energy and toughness each night out," Trost said. "He brings great desire, determination and he's a great team player."
Heckman saw action in 12 games off the bench for the Flyers as a freshman last year and could see time at either forward position.
"Heckman has developed and worked a lot on his perimeter skills," Trost said. "He's fighting for time with a lot of guys right now – but he's certainly come back better.
"He's a great kid and a great student," Trost continued. "He's a team player who never complains and does whatever you ask of him."
Barring unforeseen circumstances or an injury, Trost is looking to redshirt sophomore forward Paul Baumgart (Canton, Mich./Canton). As a freshman, Baumgart appeared in 10 games for the Flyers and averaged 2.3 minutes-per-contest.
"I think (Paul) can be a really good player in our league but it's going to be hard for him to get a ton of minutes right now," Trost said.
Like any other basketball coach in America, Trost knows that the Flyers need two things to be successful.
"We have worked hard to get to where were at and I think we have hung our hat on being really good on the defensive end," Trost said. "On the same token – we need to take care of the ball on the offensive end.
"There's a fine line again between winning and losing and we need to make sure we execute down the stretch and make some plays," Trost continued. "If we do those things then we have a chance to win a lot of games."

The Emery County Search and Rescue team consists of 35 volunteer members from all areas of the county and each of the members bring their own unique skills and specialty to the team. The team has a long proud history of serving Emery County citizens and visitors to the county. The motto of search and rescue is "that others may live" and very few understand the commitment and time that is required to maintain a state of readiness to ensure that when the team is called they are prepared and competent to respond to virtually any emergency within Emery County.
Today search and rescue teams face far greater challenges than ever before in their history and teams must be equipped and trained just not for the traditional lost person but a wide variety of missions from EMS and avalanche rescue, to river rescue just to name a few.
As extreme wilderness sports continue to explode in Emery County, the roles, responsibilities and liability of the search and rescue team has also increased. Training and equipment are huge investments and must be done right the first time. The formation of a functional, multi-disciplined, rescue team requires careful planning, a large time commitment from the team members, equipment research and acquisition, training, and funding.
The search and rescue team must routinely evaluate, inspect and update their equipment to ensure it is current and in excellent working order. Simply said, you either have the skills, abilities and equipment to be safe and effective during a rescue operation, or you don't. The search and rescue team deals with helping individuals who are in the midst of difficult situations and requires the absolute highest degree of competency with little or no room for error. The team must always strive to achieve that level of excellence by continually improving their knowledge and skills and high quality frequent training helps maintain the team's competency level. The old saying "If you don't use it, you lose it" is absolutely applicable here.
The training in the pictures are of advanced basket handling techniques, that are used in dealing with large overhangs, training also included patient packaging, advanced anchoring skills, rescue belays, and simple and compound pulley systems.

Skip to comments.Fraud Case Seen as a Red Flag for Psychology Research
Posted on 11/05/2011 11:07:15 AM PDT by Salman
A well-known psychologist in the Netherlands whose work has been published widely in professional journals falsified data and made up entire experiments, an investigating committee has found. Experts say the case exposes deep flaws in the way science is done in a field, psychology, that has only recently earned a fragile respectability.
The psychologist, Diederik Stapel, of Tilburg University, committed academic fraud in several dozen published papers, many accepted in respected journals and reported in the news media, according to a report released on Monday by the three Dutch institutions where he has worked: the University of Groningen, the University of Amsterdam, and Tilburg. The journal Science, which published one of Dr. Stapels papers in April, posted an editorial expression of concern about the research online on Tuesday.

Kind of like Bill Murry's set up at the beginning of Ghost Busters.
He can always go into global warming or become a USFS biologist.
Compare this to the climate change frauds, who are costing us billions of dollars. And Algore isn't even a scientist.
Global Warming
Some will disagree with the last item on the list, but I maintain that science is often mere scientism. It is a religion and the facts don't matter — the adherents will make it up if they have to.
So many of scientist's "studies" are agenda driven, like the "hockey stick" and "vaccine safety tests" so that they can pull the wool over the eyes of people "WITH THE TRUTH AND FACTS" and force policies to corral and destroy Capitalism and freedom and health.
A lot of "science" is all about power and money. Studies which "have" to have particular results, paid for by corporations and governments.
Their object is total control over all the masses—reproduction and property, life and death and activities.
Man, you're crazy if you go to a psychologist.
I agree with you!!!! They claim "truth" and "facts" when they sell lies.
Show me EVOLUTION....show me the skeletons in steps. I don't believe for a minute that God didn't make every animal unique and finished. I'm not talking about behavior, I'm talking about PHYSICAL evolution.
In my experience they are more ill than most of those in treatment. Of those psychologists who are not ill, they have no solutions that work other than prescriptions from real MDs.
"Liberals never give up trying to codify their political beliefs as 'science'" ~ Rush Limbaugh Nov. 3, 2011
"Without a doubt, the ultimate Black Swan is whatever it was that permitted merely genetic human beings to emerge into full humanness just yesterday (cosmically speaking), some 50,000 years ago.
Prior to this there was existence, but so what? There was life, but who cares? With no one to consciously experience it, what was the point? Without self-conscious observers, the whole cosmos could bang into being and contract into nothingness, and it would be no different than the proverbial tree falling in the forest with no one there to hear it.
One of the reasons why this is such a lonely and unpopular blog is that it takes both science and religion seriously. Most science and religion are unserious, but especially -- one might say intrinsically -- when they exclude each other.
A religion that cannot encompass science is not worthy the name, while a science that cannot be reconciled with religion is not fit for human beings. And I mean this literally, in that it will be a science that applies to a different species, not the one that is made to know love, truth, beauty, existence, and the Absolute. Science must begin and end in this principle -- which is to say, the Principle -- or it is just a diversion. ...."
Rapscallion: "In my experience they are more ill than most of those in treatment. Of those psychologists who are not ill, they have no solutions that work other than prescriptions from real MDs."
"..Let's spend a moment looking at this Psychology Today article, which tries to explain the underlying psychological reasons for why someone would be conservative." .. [snip]
"...the vast majority of academic "product" is merely junk food for the mind (as always, we are speaking of the humanities, or subhumanities, to be exact)."
"..A magazine such as Psychology Today represents stupidity squared, because it mostly boils down the nonsense of academia for a semi-literate audience, in the same way that Time or Newsweek purvey idiotarian liberal conventional wisdom to the 8th grade mass-mentality. " ...."
Only with the Gullible. Psychology is the atheist version of spiritual healing. Like all pagan religions it is chaotic at best. Of the Eighty-Eleven branches of the faith, it has yet to come up with a purpose or common ground. Give a hundred years and the "science" will reach the basic respectability and foundation of other somewhat established religions like, say Shamanism.
Psychology remains exactly what it's Always been, Faith Healing & Snake Oil, a Complete Fraud. And it is anything BUT harmless, since it generates referrals to Psychiatrists and GPs who peddle disability, and worthless, killer drugs.
You get a grant if your research supports the position the grantee desires, ie. "climate change."
If it doesn't, no grant for you.
"....For example, most of the psychology journals I see are so dopey as to be laughable. And I mean that literally. (Let me say at the outset that there are a number of excellent psychoanalytic journals, but psychoanalysis is not exactly an academic discipline but a clinical one; it only becomes stupid in the hands of academics.) I don't subscribe to any of the big journals in my field. In fact, I'm not even a member of my professional association, the American Psychological Association, because it's just a front for a totolerantarian gang of leftist activists. But I do see some of the journals laying around the office, and I do occasionally flip through them for a laugh. To say that they are shallow does not even begin to address the problem. Virtually every issue has some big study about multiculturalism and the need for what is called cultural competence. ...
The intellect corrupted by secularism will nevertheless come up with its own substitute wisdom
Prager: "... But until 1973, psychiatry did consider homosexuality an illness. To cite one of countless examples, Dr. Leo Rangell, a psychoanalyst, wrote that he had "never seen a male homosexual who did not also turn out to have a phobia of the vagina." In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed homosexuality from its official listing of mental illnesses in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders. Gay activists have used this as a major weapon in their battle for societal acceptance of homosexuality. But, for many reasons, the APA decision has not resolved the question of whether homosexuality is an illness, and the question may well be unresolvable. Given the mixed moral and judgmental record of psychiatry, especially since the 1960s, all one may conclude from the APA's decision to remove homosexuality from its list of illnesses is that while it may have been right, organized psychiatry has given us little reason to trust its judgment on politically charged issues. For these reasons, the fact that the American Psychiatric Association no longer labels homosexuality an illness should not persuade anyone that it is not. Given the subjective nature of the term "mental illness," given the power of gay activists, and given the political views of the APA leadership (as opposed to most of its members), the association's vote means nothing to many observers. If social pressures forced psychiatrists in the past to label homosexuality an illness, how can we be certain that social pressures in our time have not forced them to label it normal? Are present-day psychiatrists less influenced by societal pressures than were their predecessors? I doubt it. So, putting aside psychiatry's ambivalence about homosexuality, let us pose the question in this way: "Assuming there is such a thing as normal, is it normal for a man to be incapable of making love to a woman (or vice versa)?" Presumably, there are only three possible answers: [Snip]
Prager: "... But until 1973, psychiatry did consider homosexuality an illness. To cite one of countless examples...
Wonderful! Finally good reason for Navy Patriot's selective illiteracy.
And all this time it thought it was because I had seizures of stupid.
You "ain't" stuuuuuupid! :)
And then there is the fraud in the White House, costing us every thing we have if he gets his way.
I seldom finish the month with more than a dollar or two left. If I can contribute ten dollars a month then anyone can. This forum is one of a few almost sane harbors in an insane world. Please help pay for our megaphone, put your money where your mouth is.
Thank you for your support.
Cultural Competence, eh?
Read the performance audit memo jpg-ed at the bottom of the post.
And this place was a National Training Center for "culturally competent" psychologists."
And if you click on the post labels, you'll find the Chief "Cultural Competent" Dr FG Lu, and his entire Multi-Culti crew who do their Psychological Research watching feature films at the Esalen Institute actually believe that they are the Illuminati.
LOL! Thanks for the link. bttt

Is frozen yogurt the same as regular?
DEAR PEGGY: How does frozen yogurt compare nutritionally to regular? —M.T., Atlanta, Georgia
Whether it's plain or fruit-flavored, regular yogurt offers considerably more calcium than frozen yogurt. The nutritional content of frozen yogurt varies from variety to variety, but in general it reflects that of low-fat ice cream and not traditional yogurt. No federal standards exist for frozen yogurt, so read the labels carefully for nutrient and calorie content.

My dogs usually love hard bones/treats, but they aren't overly happy with these treats. My smaller dog will eventually eat it, but my larger dog just doesn't like it. I don't know if it is the taste or the bone itself, because they love all other Zukes products.
Our dog is on a grain free diet and this product fits the bill, keeps her teeth clean and she loves them.
Purchased and paid for an 8 count, but was shipped a 1 count. Unfortunately I have not received a response to my inquiry to correct the order error.
Worked well with freshening my Labradors breath but beware it will stain light colored carpet.
Our Dogs love the Z Bones and work great on cleaning there teeth.
These treats are over-priced and not quite as healthy for your pets as they advertise. Do your research, because I guarantee these are not worth your time or money.
My dog likes them alot. Holds up to the Zuke's name.
These Z Bones are great for dogs with allergies! My dogs love them and they are good for them too!
These are a bit more expensive than some other treats designed for helping to keep teeth clean, but our dog is on a grain-free diet so these fit the bill for that.

Video: Rok Klancnik Makes Third Ascent of Bügeleisen (V14/15)
Slovenian climber Rok Klancnik has made the third ascent of Klem Loskot's iconic Bügeleisen in Malatal, Austria. Climbed in 2001 and tentatively grade 8B+ (V14) by Loskot, Bügeleisen remained unrepeated until last April, when Finnish powerhouse Nalle Hukkataival made the second ascent, claiming that the problem was "one of the BEST hard boulders in the world."
Klancnik pulled off the third ascent and suggested that the problem was "much, much harder" than any other V14 he has done. He gave Bügeleisen a personal grade of V15 on his 8a.nu scorecard. It's worth noting that Klancnik has climbed V15 before, having sent Dave Graham's testpiece From Dirt Grows the Flowers, in Chironico, Switzerland. His next project, however, is adding a sit-start to Bügeleisen.
Check out the video of Kancnik's ascent.
