France 1840 – 1916
Eyes closed
[Les yeux clos] 1890
oil on canvas, laid on card
canvas 44.0 (h) x 36.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchase from the artist 1904
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
A woman tilts her head, turning a naked shoulder and neck, while her body disappears into evanescent mists below. Her hair is long, but there is no feminine ornament or decoration. The subject is almost sexless, recalling images of Christ. Artistic exemplars include the perfect modelling of the Renaissance painters Piero della Francesca and Hans Holbein, as well as marble sculptures. The most striking parallel is Michelangelo's Dying slave 1513–16, held in the Musée du Louvre since 1794. That figure is similar in pose but more emotional, with arm flung up and head inclined further. Redon's subject is withdrawn rather than active, her face and flesh modulated by light falling from the right to define planes by contour rather than lines.
Redon creates a dream world, proposing an interior reality which is enigmatic and very difficult to penetrate. Instead of the colourful and tactile expressions of his contemporaries, the artist employed a very restrained method of painting. After a long apprenticeship in monochromatic drawing and printmaking, Redon began to explore colour through drawing in pastels, paler and less intense than oil paint. When he began using oils, this approach continued. Eyes closed has a pastel, chalky quality, not only in the pallid, restricted palette of blue and pink and brown, but in the paucity of paint applied. The canvas shows through, accentuating the minimal means used by the artist to convey the quiet, internal drama of the subject.
In Eyes closed, based on a drawing of his wife Camille, Redon investigates the ineffable state of sleep and dreams rather than the physical realm of bodily existence. He reveals the absence of personality in sleep, its similarity to death, and the ultimate mystery and unknowability of another person. Such elements were central to Symbolist artists and writers working in France in the second half of the nineteenth century. Emphasis on fantasy, the imagination, and spiritual rather than material striving, were tenets of the movement—and can also be seen in such other works as Moreau's Orpheus and Puvis' The poor fisherman.
As demonstrated in Denis' Homage to Cézanne, in which Redon is represented at the work's far left as the focus of attention among the group, the artist was revered by the Nabis. His qualities of purity and simplicity inspired them in their search for the intimate, private and hidden life, rather than the overt or public and exposed experience. Eyes closed, an important work for the Nabis, became the first work by Redon to enter the French state collection, in 1904.

Already broken in!
"I purchased these boots based on the previous reviews indicating they ran a little long and had a great "broken in" look. Reviews spot on and I love these boots. They felt a little stiff out of the box even though they have a distressed leather appearance. They are softening up nicely and I find myself going to these boots more and more."

Model#: COR-205P / SKU: A8671
Founded in 2002, Corioliss professional styling tools use advanced ceramic technology and heating components for salon quality results. Corioliss flat irons come in a variety of sizes, and have been featured in People and Salon Business magazine as well as on television show "Celebrity Big Brother".
Love This Flat Iron!! (and I Think Some Of You Are Buying Fakes In The Mall...)About 3 years ago, one of my best friends left his Corioliss (along with some other stuff) at my house, and despite my constant nagging, he never got around to picking it up before he moved out of state. I'm so glad he didn't. I've been straightening my hair for about 10 years now, and this flat iron has given me the best results so far. I have dropped it a few times, but it held up pretty well despite my clumsiness. That is, until it flew out of my hand one morning and hit the floor HARD, breaking both the iron and my heart.
Some people are saying that the plates are coated metal plates. Well that fall cracked one plate, put a deep chip in the surface of the other, and broke off several chunks...and I can assure you, those plates are definitely solid ceramic! Don't believe any salesperson who tries to tell you the plates won't break, as solid ceramic plates need to be treated more gently than ceramic coated metal plates. Also, I don't know why people are saying that this iron only has one heat setting, when there's a dial on it to adjust the temperature. (The dial is clearly visible in the second picture, too.)
My Corioliss always worked really well for me. It continued to perform even during that one and half year stretch when I couldn't afford to get thermal reconditioning done again and had nearly a full head of tight, kinky curls.Jun 10, 2013KathrynHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Made My Hair Straight But..I got this straightener on Amazon for about $50 dollars two years ago and thought I was getting a great deal. I had the Sedu before this and that was amazing! I have very fine hair, but a lot of it. I didn't realize until I received the straightener that it was set for one temperature only, which is a problem. The straightener burned my hair and left it really dry, even when I used it quickly to smooth the bumps from blow drying. You know how you can tell hair that looks naturally straight from hair that has been straightened to death? Well the sedu gave me natural, silky straight hair and the corioliss gave me pin-straight, dry, crunchy, limp, lifeless hair. And yes, I use a product in my hair always to prevent thermal damage so that wasn't the issue. It also caused some breakage from the iron snagging my hair, which has finally gone away after a year of not using it. My best friend who has coarser, very thick hair had the same effect. It damaged her hair and made it completely limp which we didn't even think was possible with her hair type. Save your money and buy something else, your hair will definitely thank you.Nov 9, 2011Laura / NYHAIR TYPELight Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Horriblei have had this straightener for about a year, and at first it was great, but now its taking longer to heat up an pulling my hair out. sometimes it doesn't even heat up at all. it was definitely not worth the price. I don't like that you can't adjust the heat because i have very thin hair, and all that this does is burn it. I would not recommend this to anyone.Aug 16, 2011SamiHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

Please Read Before My Review!I have owned 4 of these. I have the black orginal one, the pink one (shown here) the light purple one and the red/black zebra print (i dont think folica sells this one). First of all I bought all of these from mall kiosks in Edmonton, various ones. I was told that the ceramic plates will NOT BREAK they even did a demo where they banged the straighter's against the mall floor. The black one was my first and soon after i bought the other 3 for my sisters. Anyways, for this price this straighter is a f^%$^%$ RIP OFF. I dropped my straightner and it cracked and now when i straighten my hair it breaks my hair. The other downside is my sister dropped the pink one and the end of the handle where theres a spring broke. So now the hair straighter doesnt "squeeze" the hair in between the plates we cant open it! The zebra print straighter had a "malfunction" and would turn on for a 12 minutes exactly and then turned off by itself! (I think this one had that turn off function, witch is clearly a annoying glitch) When I bough these from the kiosk they all promised that if the plates broke they would give a free straightner of the same model. They wouldnt however repair any internal damage because they claimed its all caused by wrapping the cord around the straightner...! hmm funny isnt it how they dont even ask us to send it back, they just say no. Anyways, I took the black one back and he kept saying to come on this day and talk to his manager I went a total of 6 times before I gave up.My mistake was using the black straighter about 3 times before I went out and bought the other 3 for my sisters. Had I waited I would NOT have bought the other 3. So now the only one we have left is the purple one...which i plan on throwing away.
Okay so the straighter itself curls, flips, straightens niceley, if your plates are not broken! The curls dont really hold all day without hair spray or some products. I honestly feel for almost $100 this is a HUGE rip off. This is not a hate review, but i feel like corioliss is ripping us off. Also, my mom has told me that the straightners catch hairs on the outside of the plates cause the plates are not tightly pushed in therefore causing breakage.
Dont tell me I dont know what im talking about! cause i most defintley do! Some of you may love it, but clearly I dont. I currently own the chi, sedu revolution and solia 1 inch so I know good straightners. If you could get this corioliss for around $30 THEN its worth the price, otherwise not so much. Thanks, hope this helps you manage your money!Jul 10, 2011BrindaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Please Don't Buy...scamThe people at the mall will have you believe this is a completely ceramic plate on the iron. This is not the case. The thin ceramic coating will wear off and scorch your hair. In addition, the iron has no temperature control and snags the hair all the time. For this price there are many better irons out there including but not limited to: sedu, chi, solia, ghd, t3. All this will do is damage your hairJan 8, 2011Ana / North CarolinaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Broke In One Accidental Drop !I bought this straightener 3 years ago. After a year i burnt myself and dropped it accidentally, one plate came off ! i didnt keep the box or recipt so i couldnt exchange it at the mall :( So i just stuck with it, because it still worked ok. The plate always comes off at least 5 times while straightening my hair though, but i just push or move it back into place. If you want a good straightener that'll last long, this one is ok, but it doesnt hold up to a drop. It did give bouncy curls though :) (if you know how to properly make the curl) Overall, its a good straightener, only thing is its really easy to break once dropped !Oct 11, 2010Nicole / Hawaii

Perfect For Me!!I bought this product in a mall in miami about 2 years ago when I was on vacation. Since then I've used it twice a week!! I live in Suriname (near Brazil) and here we have a tropical weather. Still, after I straighten my hair with my corioliss it stays flat until the next time I wash my hear!!

Not The BestMy mother purchased this for us when the girls at my local mall tried it on her hair. My mum uses it and it works great for her hair, it turns out silky and smooth. When i straighten my hair, it's usually at night and I go to sleep and my hair is even smoother and flatter (don't ask me how). So I decided to use this and at first it looked amazing. When I woke up the next day, my hair had sooooo much static! It was also really frizzy! Even my $30 Remington does better. For the price, it isn't great.Aug 26, 2009Pamela / Australia

Worst Flat Iron EverWhen I tried this product out in the kiosks, i thought it worked well so I bought one. When I got home, I found smudges on the plates and did not even use it yet. The next couple of days I went back to exchange for a new one, you wouldnt believe how TERRIBLE customer service was here in the parks mall in arlington! They were outright rude to me and were angry with me just because I wanted an exchange. I told them about the smudges and how I did not use it yet, but they didnt believe me and told me to just get a cottonball to clean the smudges off. I am still outraged and dissatisfied with this product! When I tried it out after I came home that day with a "decent" exchanged curling iron, I could hear and feel my hair being PULLED out from the curling iron. It did not curl my hair at all and worked like a cheap curling iron you could find in the drug stores.NEVER AGAIN will I waste so much money at a kiosk!!!Jul 27, 2009Pauline / Arlington, TX.

Skip to comments.September 1998 Document: Secret Research Programs Related to WMD (Translation)
Posted on 04/11/2006 8:47:53 PM PDT by jveritas
In pages 63 and 64 of document Document CMPC-2003-002284 , there is secret and confidential memo dated September 16 1998 concerning a meeting of the National Monitoring Department to discuss how to destroy some non necessary documents and keep the necessary one in a safe place according to the memo but the most important part of the memo is a pareagraph on how to handle The Researches That Cannot Be Declared and that is related with the previous Prohibited Programs of WMD and how to make sure that information about these researches will not leak to the outside because it will be too dangerous if this happened. Yet another document that proves without any doubt that Saddam Regime never stopped working in his WMD programs and Research and they were just waiting for the opportune moment to produce these WMD again on a large scale. Also remember that in September 1998 the UN inspectors were still in Iraq and they were kicked later on that year after some US air and missile strikes. So most definitely these Secret Research Programs related to WMD were still in existence and may have reached a more advanced stage from late 1998 to late 2002 where during this period of time there were no UN inspectors in Iraq. This document is another proof that we could have never trusted Saddam and that we had all the right to remove his brutal and terrorist regime after 9/11/2001.
Partial translations of Pages 63 and 64.
Secret and Confidential
Committee Meeting
Following the meetings of the committee formed per the Presidential-Secretary order numbered 1392 on 11/8/1998, and the committee achieved its meeting on 16/9/1998 and below is the most important of what the meeting included:
1. Review the previous meeting and what was achieved from measures related to the documents that were obtained Where the documents that does not have a reason to exist (became no value) were destroyed and keeping the portion (in safe place) that the committee believe that its needs will be revealed in the future and the task was done under very tight and very detailed security measures and that operation lasted (7) seven continuous days.
2. Through the meetings of the committee with a number of the specialized staff that worked previously in the Prohibited Programs (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, and Rockets) the following was found:
A. There are still a number of different documents with the Senior Staff that worked on the previous Prohibited Programs. The committee with continue to verify the non existence of any Special Document with the concerned people.
B. It was clear that there is another branch committee from the Industrial Committee headead by Dr. Mahdi Shakr Ghali that currently evaluate the Researches That Cannot Be Declared (Researches with relation to the previous Prohibited Programs) through presenting the Specialized Staff that ask to evaluate its researches, to conclusion related to these researches. This is an important subject and it is dangerous in case these information are leaked one way or another. We suggest that one of the specialized in our committee represented in that committee or these researches will be presented to our committee before approving it.

Very important indeed. Great work.
This was going on when President Clinton was warning us about Sadaam's WMD and directly before Operation Desert Fox in December 1998 and January 1999
Thanks for the ping!
jveritas PING!
See the NY Times finally had to acknowlege Jveritas work?
thank you very much.
New graphics :)
Anytime :)
keep up the good work, you should be getting paid for this... If nothing else, maybe you can write a book about it or something?
Yeah, I picked up a bunch from a thread on another forum.
Went to the pentagon/FMSO wabsite and the listed document ain't there no mo.
Thanks for the ping.
Great work jveritas.
Yep according to liberals and their media Saddam did not have any interest anymore in WMD's not at all according to this document, just some secret research programs that are related to WMD and cannot be declared because it will be very dangerous to do so :)
The site is down tonight, I hope they will be back up in the morning hours. I downloaded this document earlier.
major bump
It would be interesting to me to go back and look at jveritas' WMD translations that include the names of specific Iraqi officials and see what is available in terms of where those people are now. I wonder if any or all of these people are in custody or on the loose, if they've been questioned or are wanted (or were ever wanted).
There are individuals out there with first-hand knowledge of this stuff and someone, somewhere should have interrogated them.
That is true. Although operation Desert Fox was too short to cause any damage.
Please keep it in a safe place!
Thank you for your incredible work. America and the Free world owes you big time.
Thank you for your work...
I owe America everything I have :)
This is getting ridiculous...ALL of these documents that you have translated...and I have not heard anything about them on TV...
Perhaps you could talk to Tony Snow...since he not only is a freeper, but works for Fox News...and see if HE could pitch a "special" on Fox News all about these documents and what they mean.
I wonder if the media will be curious to hear Hans Blix's take on this. I'm sure they're trying to chase him down as we speak.
Per Onyx request :)
Excellent work. Continuing kudos.
Hey Tony Snow, what do you think? The NY Times finally covered these and mention Jveritas.
PS: I lost faith in most of Foxnews programs.
Title: Concealment system by Iraq
Title: Military Industry Branch/Chemical Engineering Design Center
Title: Protection of Dr. Moshel Hamed Al-Sary's house and labratory
Title: Reports, Certificate or Origin and Invoices about Materials Shipped to Iraq
Title: Inspection work and Iraqi reactions
Title: Miscellaneous military and clinical research

LOL... I am sure they are chasing Hans Blix down and he is ready to admit that he was an UTTER FOOL.
I am proud to call you an American jveritas. Thank you.
Thank you again for doing this. I cannot understand this. HERE is the scope of the century. Something "Journalists" are suppose to be dying. But instead of MAKING news, they just continue to echo what all their comrades are saying. Just dumb.
Thank you very much. Please spread the truth about these documents, that is even much more important than the translation itself.
I know Johnnie. We need to keep fighting.
More ammo for the war.
Thank you very much for the nice compliments :)
I agree, I don't understand why Radio isn't talking about this stuff. Maybe we can send a few e-mails in and get you on a couple radio shows? Not sure if you want to do that, but talk radio does need to take the lead since the MSM seems to be ignoring it.
I never had a doubt - never.
Talk radio needs to grow out of it's dependence on the Establishment media for intellectual validation. It's 18 years since Rush started. Talk Radio should be making news not merely echoing what the other side says.
How Sweet it is ....to see the facts getting out....

BACKGROUND: The presence of tumor-specific mutations in the cancer genome represents a potential opportunity for pharmacologic intervention to therapeutic benefit. Unfortunately, many classes of oncoproteins (e.g., transcription factors) are not amenable to conventional small-molecule screening. Despite the identification of tumor-specific somatic mutations, most cancer therapy still utilizes nonspecific, cytotoxic drugs. One illustrative example is the treatment of Ewing sarcoma. Although the EWS/FLI oncoprotein, present in the vast majority of Ewing tumors, was characterized over ten years ago, it has never been exploited as a target of therapy. Previously, this target has been intractable to modulation with traditional small-molecule library screening approaches. Here we describe a gene expression-based approach to identify compounds that induce a signature of EWS/FLI attenuation. We hypothesize that screening small-molecule libraries highly enriched for FDA-approved drugs will provide a more rapid path to clinical application. METHODS AND FINDINGS: A gene expression signature for the EWS/FLI off state was determined with microarray expression profiling of Ewing sarcoma cell lines with EWS/FLI-directed RNA interference. A small-molecule library enriched for FDA-approved drugs was screened with a high-throughput, ligation-mediated amplification assay with a fluorescent, bead-based detection. Screening identified cytosine arabinoside (ARA-C) as a modulator of EWS/FLI. ARA-C reduced EWS/FLI protein abundance and accordingly diminished cell viability and transformation and abrogated tumor growth in a xenograft model. Given the poor outcomes of many patients with Ewing sarcoma and the well-established ARA-C safety profile, clinical trials testing ARA-C are warranted. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate that a gene expression-based approach to small-molecule library screening can identify, for rapid clinical testing, candidate drugs that modulate previously intractable targets. Furthermore, this is a generic approach that can, in principle, be applied to the identification of modulators of any tumor-associated oncoprotein in the rare pediatric malignancies, but also in the more common adult cancers.

The bad: The iPad Mini costs too much, especially considering the lower resolution of its 7.9-inch non-Retina display. The A5 processor isn't as robust as the one in the fourth-gen iPad and iPhone 5. Typing on the smaller screen is not quite as comfy.
Google Nexus 7The good: The Nexus 7 features a sharp screen, a comfortable design and great battery life at a low starting price. Android 4.2 adds some welcome and useful features. The bad: Android still needs more tablet-optimized apps, and HSPA+ speeds seem particularly location-dependent.
Samsung Galaxy S3The good: The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes fully loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 4G LTE/HSPA+ 42 capability, a zippy dual-core processor and a strong 8-megapixel camera. The bad: The Galaxy S3's screen is too dim, and Samsung's Siri competitor, S Voice, was disappointing.

Certain dietary and herbal supplements claim to have calming and anti-anxiety benefits. Before you take any of these for agoraphobia, talk with your health care provider. Although these supplements are available without a prescription, they still pose possible health risks in some people.
For example, the herbal supplement called kava appeared to be a promising treatment for anxiety, but reports of serious liver damage — even with short-term use — caused several European countries and Canada to pull it off the market. The Food and Drug Administration has issued warnings but not banned sales in the United States. Avoid using kava until more rigorous safety studies are done, especially if you have liver problems or take medications that affect your liver.

For the tomato-onion salsa
Preheat the grill to high.
Make the salse simply by combining all the ingredients in a nonreactive serving bowl and make sure to taste-test for enough salt, pepper, and lime juice.
Combine the olive oil, garlic and spices and rub liberally all over the tenderloin.
The tenderloin is best cooked on a spit (rotisserie) over high heat for 25-30 minutes for rare (internal temp of 125 degrees); 35-40 for medium rare (internal temp of 145). If you don't have a spit, cook the tenderloin for about 5 minutes on each side until well-browned, then turn the burner under the meat down to medium or low and cook, turning every 3-5 minutes, until you reach your desired internal temp.
To serve Brazilian Style, bring the tenderloin whole to the table and slice the desired portion onto each eater's plate...Of course, Dad first.
Enjoy and have a Happy Father's Day!
In a small bowl, combine the rosemary leaves, garlic, crushed red pepper and enough olive oil to make a loose paste. Slather the steaks with the mixture and sprinkle them generously with salt. Leave the steaks out (unrefrigerated) for about a half-hour before grilling to come to room temperature.
Preheat the grill to medium-high, clean it, and oil it.
Put the steaks on a hot spot on the grill to get a great sear. Once both sides of the steak are well-browned, move the steak to a cooler part of the grill to allow the steaks to cook to desired temperature (about 140-150 internal temp for medium-rare). About 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in small food processor; pulse until herbs are coarsely chopped. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Cut the steak off the bone, slice across the grain and divide. Top the steaks with chimichurri, enjoy, and have a great Memorial Day!.

Sail Boat Charters | Chesapeake Bay - There's a Better Way
The concept of the Chesapeake Boating Club was founded in 1992 to provide flexible and affordable access to high quality and easy to sail boats available on short notice and at a fraction of the cost you might anticipate for this much FUN! Becoming a member is a perfect way to get on the water and enjoy sailing with minimal expense and hassle.
For a single annual fee you have access to our fleet of boats for your personal use, as well as racing opportunities (as skipper or crew), Cruise/Rally events, Frostbite Racing (November-March), and lots of other Club Social events. Do you already own a J/22 or J/24? Keep on racing your smaller J, and use the Club for your big cruising boats, as an alternative to two-boat ownership. Check out our fleet:
Don't delay – memberships are limited to assure availability. The time to make sailing convenient, affordable and fun is now! Boats can be booked via our on-line Reservation System. Check out the 'Demo Account' to make yourself a "Member" and view a live calendar!
Most people today have other activities and family responsibilities that make owning a boat too daunting or unrealistic financially. Consider the costs of owning:
- Slip Fees - $$$
- Insurance - $
- Boat Maintenance - $$
These costs easily add up to $7,500 per year and don't even include the purchase price of a new or used boat. As our members say: "The Club is a no-brainer!"
How many people own a health club, golf course or bowling alley? Doesn't it make sense to consider a flexible boating program that allows you to do other things? So whether you're looking to get out for an afternoon with the gang on a fast and fun J/80, a long weekend getaway for two on a J/105 or the vacation cruise for up 2 weeks exploring the Chesapeake, being a member of the Chesapeake Boating Club means our fleet is ready and waiting for you.
Club Member Testimonials
"Had to pack a few personal things, get some ice, buy a few groceries and take off on a 3 day adventure less than an hour after stepping foot aboard. That's what a sailing time share is all about: for busy folks who don't have the time to own their own boat but love to sail a good boat." "...one thing you didn't ask about is the club's members. They are the really unique resource and one of the things that make the club so special. If you need a sailing partner to show you the ropes or just to keep you company while you are sailing someone will be there...." "... Ellen is by nature very cautious. Your concern over safety and the condition of the boat contributed to her enjoyment of the day. As I have mentioned, I think the sailing club is the greatest thing since sliced bread. A J/80 Fan!" "...the real hidden equation here is in the time factor. Time becomes an even rarer commodity than anything else within our busy lives. With this concept you are going to maximize your hours spent under canvass surrounded by your family and friends with a whole team behind you to worry about the watering and feeding." This is sailing heaven if you like your boats, fast, fun, easily accessible and you simply want to just go sailing with the minimum of fuss. I mean literally pack the Jeep with a picnic, your family/friends, collect some ice and be skimming across the Bay in no time. Our usual time from leaving the house in Arlington Va to puttering out of the slip is right on one hour. The H20 is a blast. Thank you for bringing it on and making the introduction simple and fun. It keeps things interesting! Proof is in the pudding. She sailed us out of the creek and didn' t let go of the tiller til we got back into the creek about 1hour 20 minutes later. Bravo! Hey Paul! As so often happens after a great J/80 sail, I feel a swell of gratitude to you and the entire J/Port group for making it possible. The enthusiasm and integrity of everyone is a pleasure to be a part of... Your infinite willingness to find ways to make the club so much more than an offer of inexpensive sailing is deeply appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you. "In the last two years, I've sailed more than 40 days and only used about a quarter of my reserve days. With that experience, we plan to bareboat in the British Virgin Islands [ BVI ] in late fall. The classes we took with the sailing school have helped to make our trips out on the bay more enjoyable and allowed us to plan on more adventures. I think if you total the cost of the BVI trip and J/Port it would still be less than if I owned my own boat. " "This will be my third year with J/Port. Originally, I had planned to sail with you for a year and then look into getting my own boat. Now that I've experience all that you have to offer I am more than content to continue my membership. It's better than owning a boat. " "Given the amount of use they get, the JPort boats are in amazing shape. If you owned your own boat and maintained it yourself, I'll bet it would't be in as good condition as the JPort fleet. Full time professional staff are going over the boats every day to make sure that when you get there all the stuff works like it should." "For literally the same price as a yearly slip fee in Annapolis, I not only get to sail out of a prime location in Annapolis, but I don't have to purchase a boat! It's like renting a slip and getting the boat for free!" "You won't find a more economical, less stressed and more convenient way to go sailing. The club takes care of everything. All you do is make a reservation, show up and go sailing. There are no hassles or hidden costs." "During the April-November season I try to get out once or twice a week for a day sail. Winter is a little tougher but there are nice days and the J80s and J105s are ready all year around." "How can you beat it --- more sailing, more places and fewer hassles and we haven't even talked about the racing program." I joined the Jport Sailing Club last year because I wanted to have access to sailing on weekends. The boats were great and so were the people, and soon I found myself crewing in races and commuting to Annapolis from my home in Arlington every chance I could. "At the end of the day, I can hop off and not worry about dealing with the Marina or maintenance. Better yet because I have a selection of boats I can choose a specific boat for the type of sailing I want to do. The J105s with their speed can not be beat for day sailing on the bay. Eileen and I have enjoyed the J32s when we've wanted to spend a few nights on the boat and do a little cruising. " Thanks for your help in planning my trip. Having someone who has actually sailed there and knows the best places to go is a real help. I don't normally write thank you letters because good service should be expected but my experience with Chesapeake Boating Club has been so far above what I expected that I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated it. Paul and Nan, Lynn and I did our summer cruise last week and I wanted to let you know what a great time we had. The J/32 was in perfect shape, every component worked exactly like it should and we had no problems or drama whatsoever. "Not having to maintain, haul out in the winter, worry about storms, etc cetera, more than makes up for [not owning]. It's a no-brainer!" "I day-sail (and single hand) quite a bit. My wife comes with me on two longer trips (spring and fall) when we take a J32 for the week end. There is plenty of opportunity for overnight outings, especially during the week."

Nice Style
"Nice stylish riding boots; tends to run short and narrow. Like many other reviews saying these boots are too long and that overlaps at the knee, for me it fit perfectly and a I'm 5'3" petite. Because there was only a size 6 available, I had to return. However, since I already have 3 pairs of boots, even if a size 6 1/2 was available, I would still have returned for my money back. Somehow it did not impress me much to invest my money on it."

Munster kept Connacht scoreless at Musgrave Park after blanking their Irish rivals with a 22-0 PRO12 win on Saturday.
Munster kept Connacht scoreless at Musgrave Park after blanking their Irish rivals with a 22-0 PRO12 win on Saturday.
Damien Varley touched down twice as Munster kept their play-off hopes alive.
The home side raced into a 12-0 lead through tries from injury-returnee Paul O'Connell and Varley before Ronan O'Gara added a penalty just before the interval.
Although Varley added his second score early in the second half the fourth try proved elusive, and they had to be content with just the three tries which means they reside seven points behind the Ospreys in fourth.
Just one win in five league games has seriously dented the hosts' top-four ambitions and they ideally needed to find the bonus-point here to keep them in contention.
Rob Penney's men dominated the opening exchanges and deservedly went ahead after 10 minutes through O'Connell. The visitors were struggling to deal with the intensity of the Limerick-based outfit and Mick Kearney found himself sin-binned for a late tackle.
They were immediately punished when Varley powered over and, although O'Gara failed to convert, the hosts led 12-0 after a quarter of an hour. However, to their credit, Connacht showed plenty of determination and desire and limited Munster to a single penalty from O'Gara before half-time.
Another try from Varley extended the lead to 22 points after the break and it seemed the home side were on their way to securing the bonus-point victory.
But once again the away team frustrated their more illustrious opponents and displayed a resilient rearguard to keep their rivals out for the rest of the game.
The scorers:
For Munster:
Tries: O'Connell, Varley 2
Cons: O'Gara 2
Pen: O'Gara
Munster: 15 Felix Jones; 14 Doug Howlett, 13 Casey Laulala, 12 James Downey, 11 Doug Hurley; 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Cathal Sheridan, 8 James Coughlan, 7 Sean Dougall, 6 Tommy O'Donnell, 5 Paul O'Connell, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 Stephen Archer, 2 Damien Varley, 1 David Kilcoyne.
Replacements: 16 Mike Sherry, 17 Wian du Preez, 18 BJ Botha, 19 Billy Holland, 20 Niall Ronan, 21 Duncan Williams, 22 Ian Keatley, 23 Ivan Dineen.
Connacht: 15 Robbie Henshaw, 14 Danie Poolman, 13 Eoin Griffin, 12 Dave McSharry, 11 Gavin Duffy (c), 10 Dan Parks, 9 Kieran Marmion, 8 John Muldoon, 7 Willie Faloon, 6 Andrew Browne, 5 George Naoupu, 4 Mick Kearney, 3 Nathan White, 2 Jason Harris-Wright, 1 Brett Wilkinson.
Replacements: 16 Adrian Flavin, 17 Denis Buckley, 18 Ronan Loughney, 19 Mike McCarthy, 20 Eoin McKeon, 21 Paul O'Donohoe, 22 Miah Nikora, 23 Fetu'u Vainikolo.

Howling Highlight: Let's Help Haiti
Posted by Arctic Wolf on January 13, 2010
Like most of you, I was made aware of the Earthquake in Haiti this morning when I listened to the morning news. I know relatively little about the situation at hand, but I do know that Haiti is a struggling country that has had more than its share of turmoil both from natural and political causes.
Someone better equipped to discuss Haiti (Bunnyhugs) already has posted on on his own Blog:
Haitian Earthquake: Raise a glass and donate
I know Bunnyhugs only peripherally from his postings on the Ministry of Rum but his excellent article speaks upon the situation far better than I can.
Speaking of the Ministry, there is an excellent thread there with many good suggestions for helping, and with many nice links to organizations who regularly contribute in these situations:
Haitian Earthquake Appeal
Only time will give us the rest of the details but for all those who read my blog, lets utilize some of the means at our disposal to help people in need. The Haitian people are some of the kindest and most compassionate in the world, let's reach a hand to help.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

- Derived from the English game of rugby and soccer, American football was started with rules instituted by Walter Camp, player and coach at Yale University.
- Walter Camp contributed the following changes from Rugby and Soccer to American football: one side retained undisputed possession of the ball, until that side gives up the ball as a result of its own violations; create the line of scrimmage; 11 on a team instead of 15 on the field at one time; created the quarter-back and center positions; created the forward pass; standardized the scoring system, numerical scoring; created the safety, interference, penalties, and the neutral zone; tackling as low as the knee was permitted; a touchdown increased in value to six points and field goals went down to three points in 1912
- The first game of football was played in 1869 when McGill University played Yale. McGill won the game, 6-4.
- The NFL or the National Football League, was formed in 1920.
- The length of the football field is 100 yards. The width of the field is 53 ½ yards.
- Herman Moore holds the NFL record for the most pass receptions in a single season.
- In 1967, the first Super Bowl (The winner from the AFC and the NFC), was played.
- The football hall of fame is located in Canton, Ohio.
- Most professional football players play College Football first.
- There are four types of special teams: they are teams which can kick off, return kicks, block and return punts, or punt the ball.
The offensive positions are: two guards (offensive lineman), two tackles ( offensive lineman), and one center (also, an offensive lineman), a quarterback, a running back (the primary ball carrier), the fullback ( a bigger running back, primarily used for blocking), three wide receivers (the primary targets that the quarterback throws to).
There is also a tight end ( a bigger wide receiver used to catch the ball and to block.) Unlike the offensive team, there are no formally defined defensive positions. A defensive player may line up anywhere on his side of the line of scrimmage and perform any legal action.
Most sets used in football, however, include a line composed of defensive ends and defensive tackles and (behind the line) linebackers, cornerbacks, and safeties.
Defensive ends and tackles are collectively called defensive line, while the cornerbacks and safeties are collectively called the secondary, or defensive backs.

Good Sam RV Travel Guide & Campground Directory
Good Sam Camping App
One Tank Trip for New Jersey Camping
It's true New Jersey is widely known as a gateway to New York, but those lucky enough to spend some time exploring the Garden State will find quite a few surprises. As the most densely populated state in the nation, New Jersey is a state filled with important history, beautiful beaches, and a 72-mile leg of the Appalachian Trail. And there's nothing quite like seeing Lady Liberty from afar for the first time; it gives one a sense of what ship-bound immigrants must have felt upon arrival in America.
Jersey City makes for a great beginning for this southbound one tank trip through New Jersey, via the Garden State Parkway. From Jersey City, you can take a harbor cruise across New York Harbor and get some of those previously mentioned spectacular views of Manhattan and Liberty Island. Or, take a short ferry ride to Ellis Island, which greeted more than 12 million immigrants who would one day become American citizens. Today, Ellis Island serves as a monument and museum to those brave individuals who sought a fresh start in the Land of Opportunity. While seeing the Statue of Liberty from afar is truly amazing, seeing New Jersey and New York from the top of the statue is equally impressive. It's a view you'll never forget. While you're in the neighborhood, how about a day trip over to Manhattan and get in some shopping, or maybe pick up tickets for a Broadway show?
To continue our one tank trip leave Jersey City, take the New Jersey Turnpike west for 15 miles to the southbound Garden State Parkway, which you'll take for 25 miles to the Atlantic City Expressway. Take the Expressway east for 8 miles until you pull into "Vegas East", otherwise known as Atlantic City. In addition to providing more casinos than the wallet can handle, you've got your pick of a wide range of world-class, A-list entertainment that suits any taste, from Wayne Newton to Mötley Crüe. The famous Boardwalk is a definite don't-miss destination, with its classic arcades, delicious foods, and shopping galore. Take a walk on the Garden Pier, or rent a bike and go bicycling along the Boardwalk. The beaches all along the Jersey Coast are some of the most beautiful in the nation, so why not set up camp and enjoy some fun-in-the-sun for the day, then take in a show at night?
When you've had enough of flashy neon signs for a while, head west on the Atlantic City Expressway, then take the Garden State Parkway south for 20 miles to the town of Ocean View. This is a good spot to pull over and set up camp, and spend a bit more time at the beach. Take a sightseeing cruise across the clear, blue ocean, or try a little deep sea fishing or crabbing. Bring a camera along if you go out on the water, as whales and dolphins are frequently spotted in these waters.
Continuing south on the Garden State Parkway, it's another 20 miles before you come to your final New Jersey RV camping destination on this route, Cape May. This town is widely renowned for its Victorian architecture, and one of the best – and most enjoyable – ways to see as much of it as possible is by taking an old-fashioned trolley tour of the historic Old Town district. The lighthouse at Cape May is also well worth a visit, and the view from its pinnacle has been described as spectacular. Originally built in the late 1800s, and recently restored to its original condition, this historic lighthouse beckons you to climb its 200 steps to the top, where you can see the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean stretching for miles and miles into the distance. Afterward, head over to any of the local wineries and relax with a wine tasting, featuring several samples of excellent local vintages.
As you can see, while New Jersey may be thought to be the gateway to Manhattan, the Garden State's equal to the Big City in entertainment and recreation.

If you are allergic to yeast, as I am, you will have a hard time finding yeast free bread. This one is the best I could find, and a decent price. Follow instructions on package for how to store
The only ready-made bread I can eat in the whole world !

Not excellent, but not bad at all. The only yestfree bread I know. I live in France, and it does not exist here.
Not great...
Posted by InformedMom on Oct 02, 2014
Oh how wish there was a good bread available to people that are gluten, dairy & egg free. It's asking for a lot, I know. Unless I make it myself...I think this is all that's available. Not great.
Really bitter
Posted by lucygoosyxo on Apr 04, 2012
Had a really bitter aftertaste I couldn't get past. Used up the rest of it toasted with cheese as it hid a lot of the flavour, but much nicer GF breads out there.
loaf with mold

Ordered and received two loaf of that but one got mold. I wish the preservation could do better.
Not good
Posted by Reviewer1662056 on Jul 13, 2012
I am sorry, but I have yet to find a yeast-free bread that has any flavor. On the contrary, it is bland tasting, and nothing I put on it made any difference. The result was still the same bland taste.

He said that they were friends long enogh to call it a relationship and he is in love! Katarina and Eljah are cute together!
Really? Where did you hear this?
I thought Elijah Wood is dating Franke Potente? Maybe there is some confusion b/c both ladies are German and Franke looks a bit like Katarina.
Yes, PleaseOriginally Posted by Tonichelle
OK Link Yes!
Lemme get it though? Ah...It's on the Elijah Wood's new girlfriend subject on his IMDB messageboard. Also check out FSU where a topic is about it!
A couple of weeks ago she was on a German talkshow and said she also heard this rumor...she was flattered, thinks he is cute, but much too young.
post the actual links, please?Originally Posted by Elfga
Well, the link on FSU would just take you to the exact same thing Elfga posted here. So don't waste your time...
Ice Princess, I like your signature pics, especially "fire."
so basically this is just a rumor that's floating around the web on both Elijah and Skating fan boards?
As much as I hate to say this... Elfi just likes to have a little too much fun on the chat forums and boards.......
I have heard from multiple sources that Elijah has other interests a bit closer to the Shire.Originally Posted by soogar
And if you believe that then you'll believe that I'm engaged to Orlando Bloom.Originally Posted by Elfga

Education Key to Rehabilitating Arid Areas of Africa
Nairobi, 26 November 2002 - The project, which is targeting dry and semi-arid lands in Kenya, Botswana and Mali, aims to educate local people, students and scientists up to Post Graduate level in the issues of land management and indigenous species conservation.
The overall aim of the project, which is being carried out by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is to reduce poverty and improve livelihoods in these key areas and countries.
It is envisioned that the project will evolve into an African Centre for Arid Land Studies and Development where the knowledge gained from the work in Kenya, Mali and Botswana can be communicated to other students, researchers and local people living in similar, often degraded, environments.
The project, with $9 million from the GEF, has benefited from significant support from Norway. The Norwegian Agency for Development and Cooperation (NORAD) has contributed over $1 million.
The Department of Biology, University of Oslo, has played a key role in developing the project and is to provide scientific and technical supervision to help underpin its aims.
Land degradation was adopted as a focal point for the GEF at its Second Assembly which recently took place in Beijing, China.
Earlier this month UNEP and the GEF announced the Desert Margins Programme, a project to heal the damaged and dying lands that fringe Africa's desert regions. The Management of Indigenous Vegetation for the Rehabilitation of Degraded Rangelands in the Arid Zone of Africa, will compliment the desert margin initiative.
For more information, please contact: Eric Falt, Spokesperson/Director UNEP's Division of Communications and Public Information, on tel: 254 2 623292, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com or Nick Nuttall, UNEP Head of Media, on Tel: 254 2 623084, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Wow, I never though I'd get to post this, but our segmented run of Halo 2 is finally finished after 2 and a half long years. I, Scurty, Goatrope, NOKYARD, Louis Wu, and djDAP joined forces to finish Halo 2 on legendary in 1:30:29 using segments.
We've pulled out all the stops for this one, and you'll see tricks and glitches you never thought possible, thanks to the power of segmenting.
Our run was verified by Speed Demos Archive, and you can check out the game page there.
You can Download the full run from SDA or Archive.org, or you can view the individual levels here at High Speed Halo.
Included in the SDA and Archive.org downloads as a second audio track is our commentary on the run. We think it is fun and informative, so you should give it a listen. To do so, just enable the second audio track in your video player. You probably want to disable the first track, or lower its volume as well. You can also download the commentary separately as an AAC Audio file.
Everybody here at high speed halo deserves thanks for this, and it was a true team effort.
Posted by: Cody Miller
From the SDA post.
This is a segmented speedrun of Halo 2 on legendary difficulty in 1:30:29. This project was over two years in the making, and was made possible by the efforts of everybody at HighSpeedHalo.net and HighImpactHalo.org.
The following runners contributed segments to the project;
Cody Miller
Louis Wu
Explanation of tricks:
Sword Flying: this trick is heavily abused throughout the course of the run. Only possible in Halo 2 1.0, you cannot perform this trick if you have updated to play on xbox live, or if you have the Vista version. If you switch from any weapon to the sword while hitting X to cancel the animation, the reticle will stay red for a fraction of a second while the sword comes up enabling you to lunge farther than you could otherwise. This is most useful with weapons like the battle rifle and sniper rifle, but it works with any weapon.
Sword Canceling: If you lunge normally with the sword but cancel with X, you keep your velocity while canceling the lunge. You can hold A to rise a bit to continue on past the enemy.
Superbouncing: If you jam yourself into a sloped surface, then jump onto a place where two polygons come together, the game thinks you are inside of it and shoots you upward to eject you.
Specific level notes:
Metropolis: The levels ends when the scarab pilots are killed, and they do not load until the scarab reaches a certain point. It doesn't matter how fast you board it if you do so before this point.
Arbiter: The elites and grunts in the beginning are killed to skip a short segment of dialogue. In the room where the Heretic leader first appears, you can lunge at him with the sword and go through the glass if you have the PAL version of Halo 2. We did not use this trick since it is not possible on the NTSC version.
Oracle: The cables are on a timer; you cannot cut them until the dialogue for each is finished. Even though it looks as if time is being wasted, they are cut at the earliest possible moment.
Delta Halo: A bit of time is sacrificed to get the envy skull, but the ability it grants: for the Master Chief to be able to cloak, saves much more time throughout the rest of the run than it costs to pick up the skull.
Quarantine Zone: The sputnik skull saves time as well, so while we sacrifice time to get it, it's more than made up for later. This skull makes explosions more powerful, enabling higher grenade jumping or launching.
Gravemind: Standing in the specific spot in the first room while getting a checkpoint will prevent several waves of brutes from spawning, which saves a lot of time.
Uprising: Falling over the level's exit will normally result in death, but if you are in a vehicle, or if you reset the fall timer by either hugging a corner where two polygons come together, or by firing the fuel rod cannon downward, you will survive and end the level.
High Charity: By letting the elevator press you into the geometry, a similar result to superbouncing is achieved.
Great Journey: Going backward after the scarab cutscene then returning removes all the wraith drivers from the level. This saves time because the scarab can walk directly to its destination, and does not have to pause to kill the wraiths. or any other enemies along the way. By dropping the specter in a specific place, it can fall through the ceiling and into the final room. If johnson is riding on the specter, the game does not recognize him and spawns another. This is done until three Johnsons are spawned, making the Tartarus fight go much more quickly.
Thanks to:
Everyone at halo.bungie.org, highspeedhalo.net and highimpacthalo.org.

Overall Dissapointing
By Zeley58
from Central PA
Overall disappointed with the Garmin 810. Graphics are terrible, software is buggy and Ive been having issues with the unit freezing up. I purchase the 810 mainly for turn by turn capabilities but i have found that they work only 80% of the time. For a bike GPS/computer in this price range i expected alot more.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Gret GPS With Bells and Whistles
By OldTerry
from Dallas, GA
Primary use of this productcfor me is to measure my distance and speed. The Unit provides averages, temperatures and will alert you to do interval sprints when you select the training mode. There are really too many features to cover in this review. There are many features I will be using as I discover them and learn how to use them. Like a car GPS this unit also provides school zone information, etc. A great feature (at least to me) is that you can mount it wirelessly to any bike that you have atached a mount.

Pricey, but great for route riding.
By Josh K
from Harrisburg, PA
I bought the 810 mostly because I was tired of poorly marked rides and vague cue sheets. The ability to plan and upload a course is fantastic; as is the unit's turn by turn direction ability. If I were to find a fault with course navigation it would be to say that if you go of course you are unlikely to be navigated back onto your course. The unit will plot the fastest way to your end-point, but that isn't necessarily the ride you had planned. Having the ability to add on ANT+ sensors for speed/cadence, HRM, and power are also real pluses for those looking to monitor their fitness and performance. The virtual training partner is also a great measure of performance against previously run courses, etc. And finally, all your performance information is uploaded to Garmin Connect which provides you a great training/mileage log.Another great feature is that multiple bike profiles allows the unit to be easily switched between multiple bikes (and it comes with two basic mounts).All in all, very happy with the product and glad I bought it!!!

By SCOTT G. SNOWExecutive DirectorUtah Commission on Volunteers
Dear Editor,
On Dec. 17, 2003, the USA Freedom Corps, an office of the White House, announced the results of a September survey showing an increase in service nationwide. The survey, conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the US Department of Labor, showed that the percent of Americans who volunteered during 2003 rose from 27.4 percent to 28.8 percent. However, here in Utah, a recent survey conducted by public relations students at Brigham Young University showed that 81 percent of Utahns volunteer. Utah, clearly, is a national leader in service with a rate of volunteerism almost triple the national average. Utah's greatest resource is it volunteers who do everything from preserving the beauty of public lands, to reading with a child.
Here at the Utah Commission on Volunteers, we appreciate Gov. Walker and Lt. Gov. McKeachnie for their leadership and vision. We also wish to commend the unique statewide collaboration of the many service and volunteer organizations that have come together to create tools such as ILoveto Give.org that make service more effective.
Nevertheless, while Utah stands as an example of service and volunteerism to the world, there is still so much more that we can and must do within our own borders. Utah has a legacy of service and we should each examine our lives and ensure that we are helping carry on that legacy. We should involve our families and friends in service, making it a common, integral part of our daily lives, not just a holiday tradition. Doing so will not only make Utah a better place to live in, but it will make each of us a better person to live with.

After hearing Andrea's consistently stunning tracks, and watching his all too brief Life is a Banana live set, I was inclined to feature him on a GDD™ Guest Mix. As a producer/DJ from France, he doesn't quite fit the general style that typically comes to be associated with the European country. Andrea has a keen sense of the bass-driven underground as he tends to gravitate towards a soulful, downtempo sound with lush atmospheres and a hint of hip-hop influence. His excellent 30 minute mix exhibits his distinctive taste and strong vibes that will keep you coming back for more.
