A Shorthand Guide to the Senate Rules Committee
A measure that has been favorably reported back to the Senate by a standing committee is first sent to the Senate Rules Committee. The Rules Committee determines which bills advance to the 2nd and 3rd Reading Calendar for consideration by the full Senate and possible final passage. The Rules Committee has the ability to prevent floor action on a measure by never giving it a place on the calendar. Determining which measures advance to the floor calendar is its most prominent duty.
Senate Rules Committee meetings are open to the public; however, to prevent undue influence upon Committee members while they are making these important selections, no member may be approached by the public once seated at the Rules table. At the direction of the Chair, the Sergeant-At-Arms is responsible for maintaining order during Rules Committee meetings.
Currently, there are 21 members on the Senate Rules Committee: the Lieutenant Governor; 12 majority members; and 8 minority members. By rule, Lt. Governor Brad Owen chairs the committee and is a voting member. During his absence or when he is serving as acting-Governor, Senator Roach, President Pro Tempore of the Senate and Vice Chair of Rules, will chair the committee. Secretary of the Senate Hunter G. Goodman and Deputy Secretary Pablo (Paul) G. Campos staff the Rules Committee and are assisted by both Senate Counsels. The Rules Committee selects the bills for floor action and prepares the floor calendar for the day. There are two calendars (lists) in Senate Rules, a White Sheet and a Green Sheet, which contain all measures awaiting action in Rules.
At the beginning of each meeting, the Majority Leader will announce how many "pulls," or requests, each member will get to advance a bill from the Green Sheet to the floor calendar and then from White Sheet to the Green Sheet. Usually, a bill moves only one step during a Rules meeting.
The White Sheet is where bills are listed immediately after being passed out of a standing committee. This is more-or-less a review calendar. When the Rules Committee considers bills on the White Sheet, they are pulled to the Green Sheet without debate or a vote. Each member, in the order in which they are seated, announces the bill of their choice from the White Sheet that they are pulling. Members may opt to NOT pull a bill on their turn, but they lose that pull. This process continues until all members' pulls are used. Once pulled to the Green Sheet, the bills are eligible to be pulled to the floor calendar at the next Rules meeting.
The Green Sheet is a consideration calendar made up of bills pulled by Rules members from the White Sheet and is the list of bills now eligible to go directly to the floor. The process is similar to pulls from the White Sheet, but bills pulled from the Green Sheet are debated and voted on in Rules prior to being placed on the floor calendar. Members move to place a particular bill on the calendar, give a short synopsis of the bill and its merits. At this point, other Rules members may ask clarifying questions or debate the merits of the bill, after which the Chair calls for a vote.
Most bills advance on a voice vote, but divisions are often called and a show of hands may decide a bill's fate. Any member may request an oral roll call on any bill before it goes to the floor. If an oral roll call is requested, the Deputy Secretary calls the name of each member of the Rules Committee who votes "aye" or "nay" on the bill in question, and announces the total vote. The Chair then announces the fate of the bill. If a member attempts to pull a bill from the Green Sheet and it fails, that bill does not stay on the Green Sheet but returns to the White Sheet and begins the Rules Committee process anew. The member that requested the failed bill does not get another choice; it counts as one of their "pulls."
A Flash Calendar is usually circulated after each Rules meeting. It includes a list of measures approved by the Rules committee to be placed on the 2nd & 3rd Reading (floor) Calendar. These measures are usually "pulled" from the Green Sheet, but occasionally they are moved directly from the White Sheet to the floor calendar. The measures on the Flash Calendar are added to any remaining items on the floor calendar and a new or supplemental 2nd & 3rd Reading Calendar is created.
After certain cutoff dates, as a housekeeping measure, the Senate Rules Committee sometimes places bills no longer eligible for consideration in the "X-File." This removes them from calendars and the daily status sheet, keeping those lists from becoming too long and unwieldy. They usually remain in the X-File until the end of the biennium.
The vast majority of bills are placed on the Senate floor calendar through the two-step process of being pulled from the White Sheet to the Green Sheet and then from the Green Sheet to the floor calendar. However, a "package pull," or a list of bills voted to the floor calendar together on a single vote, is sometimes voted out. This is done on rare occasions, usually before a cutoff or the end of session, or when the Senate is going to act on one topic addressed by several bills.
The Rules Committee determines the order in which bills are placed on the floor calendar. Usually this is in the order in which they are pulled out of the Rules Committee. Formally known as the 2nd and 3rd Reading Calendar, the Senate floor calendar is traditionally printed on yellow paper and commonly referred to as the yellow calendar.
Gubernatorial Appointments (GAs) move through the Rules Committee in the same manner as bills. These appointments are usually placed on a Gubernatorial Appointments Calendar, which is also printed on yellow paper, but single GAs sometimes appear on the regular yellow calendar together with other measures.
Occasionally, the Committee will create a consent calendar composed of bills that have unanimous or near-unanimous support (with little or no opposition). These bills can come from either the White or Green Sheets and are placed on a separate Consent Calendar for the floor. The consent calendar is traditionally pink in color and is commonly referred to as the pink calendar.

By browsing all 70 works (many accompanied by explanatory texts) you can discover more about Robert Dowling. The works are organised by the same groupings or 'rooms' that you would view them in when visiting the exhibition.
Robert Dowling (1827–1886) holds a special place in the history of Australian art. He was the first locally produced artist in Australia. He specialised in portraiture, but also painted popular genre subjects, literary and religious themes, the most substantial Orientalist images by any Australian artist of the time, as well as images of the Australian Aborigines. He was Australia's major portrait and figure painter from the late colonial period 1850–85.
Born in Britain into a devout Baptist family, he migrated to Australia with his family aged seven in 1834 and was raised in Launceston. He worked in Tasmania (1850–54) and Victoria (1854–56) before travelling to London (1857–84). He remained in Britain for 27 years, exhibiting at the prestigious Royal Academy and regularly sending paintings back to Australia for purchase by institutional and private collectors. Dowling visited Australia in 1884, a highly successful artist. He settled in Melbourne but returned to London in 1886 with the intention of moving back to Australia permanently. This plan was thwarted by his sudden death.
'His own nature was … genial and sympathetic. He took a cheerful view of life, looked on the bright side of human nature, and was somewhat of a laughing philosopher'
(James Smith, The Argus, 14 July 1886).

Burned out from work? Are you looking for a way to relax, clear out your mind and escape for a while? If the answer to both these questions is yes, then it is about time to open your browser start streaming some music. It does not require you to leave your work station or take any drastic measures, but it will definitely give you the relaxation and break that you badly need.
If you have not yet discovered the joys of music streaming, then you are missing almost half of your life. Since you can do it online, it can be done anywhere as long as you have a computer and an Internet connection. Will you be able to do it at work? The answer is definitely yes.
There are a lot of reasons why you should stream music. But there are three reasons why you should stream music at work.
It relaxes you.
We all know that music has a way of relaxing you. So, if you are really stressed out from work, then you need to listen to music. Since it relaxes you, it frees you from stress as well. You might now be thinking how you will be able to do that at work. You do not have to be a gadget freak, your cellular phone does not have to be high end and you do not need to have an iPod. All you have to do is make use of your available resources. You have your computer and that will probably have an Internet connection. Just open up a search engine and look for sites which offer streaming. Go to that website and you can now listen to music while at work. 977music.com's streaming stations are a great place hear whatever type of music you like; simply click on a station in the Stations list in the right column to get started!
It offers you the escape that you need.
Once you found the station which has your brand of music, all you have to do is listen. Music isolates you from the activity around you and allows you to concentrate fully on whatever you're doing without being distracted by the antics of your co-workers. On the other hand, if whatever you're doing is boring you to death and you need a break, you can close your eyes for a bit and think of a place that you would rather be at that moment. You can be at the beach, at a coffee shop or in your own room. You can be anywhere as long as you use your imagination. Music with the help of your imagination can transport you anywhere. You are still within the confines of your work station but your mind is already somewhere else. The fun part about it is that no one will ever know.
It is free.
Listening to streaming music online is available to anyone with a computer and an Internet connection. If you find that you don't like the mix of music on any pre-made stations, you can create a personalized playlist that will allow you to choose the songs you want to hear and play them anytime. The best thing about all of this is that you do not have to pay for anything.
These are just some of the reasons why you should stream music while at work – no doubt you will discover more as you enjoy listening to music while you work.free Internet radio, internet music, Internet radio, listen to music while working, music at work, online music

Skip to comments.Raid on Cypriot deposits shakes Europeans' faith in savings (9.9% theft by govt)
Posted on 03/17/2013 3:32:46 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA
(Reuters) - Europeans' faith in the safety of their savings has been shaken by a levy on Cypriot bank deposits to pay for a bailout, even though there was no sign of a rush to withdraw cash in Madrid or Dublin.
People told Reuters they were angered but unsurprised that politicians should dip into citizens' deposits. And as bankers expressed concern the proposed terms of Cyprus's bailout could unnerve savers elsewhere, some leftist leaders voiced outrage.
Euro zone finance ministers want Cypriots to pay up to 9.9 percent of their deposits in return for a 10 billion euro ($13 billion) aid package. If approved by the island's parliament on Monday, it will be the first time savers have had to foot part of the bill for a European bailout.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
back to the mattresses.
If they get away with it they will do it again, you can bet countries around the world are watching and learning
Everybody sell! I've been waiting for he discount.
"Turn those machines back on!"
Scares me too, I'd switch to gold but I suspect its a bubble waiting to pop.
Europeans are converting euros into dollars and buying gold. America has always been viewed as a secure haven during crisis. The result is a big transfer of capital into the US economy which bolsters the dollar and the economy despite Obama's bad policies. Gold also rises due to increased demand and long term uncertainty about the American economy.
wow... this is honestly the scariest thing that's happened since the beginning of the great recession!
Government has basically invented a new way to cause a run on banks!
This one action has the potential to collapse the entire world economy as paniced people rush to withdraw their money from the bank.
The Beast must feed.
I may now go and buy that gun I cannot afford right now. After all, money in the bank might be worthless with this administration.
Guns and reloading equipment will be priceless. As though we needed yet another reason to run out and buy guns!
I'm thinking the same thing. To hell with the future, there may not be one. Pull my savings out and buy prepper stuff now.
he Mexicans were a little more circumspect. Back in the '70s, I think, they seized all their citizens' dollar bank accounts and converted them to pesos, then devalued the peso by something like 45%, then said the depositors could convert the remains back into dollars. Not many, if any, did.
Jim Sinclair told King World News we have just witnessed one of the most important events in history and it will have a major impact on the gold market. Sinclair, whos father was business partners with legendary trader Jesse Livermore, had this to say in this extraordinary and exclusive KWN interview:
The wire reports on the Cyprus situation are working overtime to try to make the case that 80% of the deposits belong to the people of Cyprus, and only 20% of the deposits belong to the Russians. Thats absolutely false. After 1985, when the Robber Barrons of Russia took over the general economics of Russia, that was the transformation from the KGB to private business. The primary place for exported Russian funds was Cyprus.
Now, there is one leader in the world that would be very dangerous to challenge, and that is Putin of Russia....
Whats just happened is the IMF has backed up, lauded, supported, and publicized, as if it were a victory, the taking of 10% of what really turns out to be 80% of Russian black money. Russian black money is KGB money, now in business. The leader of Russia (Putin) was a former KGB official. Whos money do you think they have taken? This is the biggest mistake the IMF could possibly have ever made.
Eric King: Jim, its unimaginable to me, but, incredibly, just ten days ago you warned that you dont want to anger Russian leader Putin because he and Russia will punish the West in the gold market. Can you talk about how this is going to impact the gold market beginning on Monday?
Sinclair: What would you rather have, an insured bank account by the BIS, FDIC, ECB, when any government can come in and take 10% of your account and treat that as if you are paying a tax for monies that were lost because of devious actions by the banks themselves, or gold?
Eric King: Will the Russians take their revenge in the gold market? Is that one of the places they will seek revenge?
Sinclair: The answer is that this is one of the most important events in modern times for the popularity of holding gold rather than holding fiat money. This is the catalyst that will propel gold through the $1,600 level. To prevent a break above $1,600 in gold would take extraordinary efforts on the part of any manipulator in the marketplace.
Its very dangerous in doing business with the Russians to lose their money. Revenge will be very much a part of the motivation for what happens from this point forward. This type of event will take us out of the $1,500s and we may never see those prices again in our lifetimes.
The truly sad part is that the ones who saved and invested their money did not cause the mess in the first place.
Unfortunately, it's highly likely that the Cypriots are giving Obama ideas.
The dominoes are being controlled from outside they will dictate to thier puppets when the time is right
Gold is the opposite of a bubble. f you are looking to profit from gold, you will be just a speculator who might win or lose. There is occasional speculation where gold gets a little ahead of the trend, but the trend is still intact (we are about at the trend right now). When the Fed creates the other bubbles, gold responds by playing the role of money. If you are looking for a way to put money in a mattress for the next decade then convert it back to goods, then you have come to the right place.
Wont be long before Europe realizes the importance of the 2nd Amendment. And if Dems keep talking about "managing" our 401Ks they too will find out the exact definition of the 2nd Amendment.
As I understand it, the tax is Germany's condition for bailing out the Cypriot banks. If Germany doesn't bail out the banks, what happens to depositor's money?
Them, and the EBT card people.
... but you must feed.
I wonder if the politicians there are subject to this same tax on their accounts? My guess would be no.
If Germany didn't bail out Cyprus' banks, it would have likely led to a systemic banking failure. And then the Cypriots would've had bupkis.
There were two big banks on the verge of insolvency, and the Central Bank of Cyprus couldn't have bailed them out. If those two went, well.........that's that. Game over for Cyprus, at least the Southern part of it.
CW2 will not solve the problem, but if it does happen, let them carry the responsibility with their very lives.
Once our money is wasted by our politicians, there won't be anything left to bury our remains.
Send them the bill for the funeral expenses. LOL.
The ones who save their money are not the ones who cause the debt crisis and welfare state! What don't you understand?
Europe doesn't have one, and our 'POLITICIANS' want to take it away from us.
For Silver: triple that number to 1500%.
Right now the prices of Precious Metals (PMs) are heavily suppressed. They are direct currency crosses. Their prices cannot be allowed to rise naturally or the Fed's three bubbles - bonds, stocks and the current purchasing power of the dollar - will collapse.
Nevertheless PMs are inexorably going to rise in price. Economic reality cannot be stopped, only delayed. The Fed is pushing against a steamroller and is going to get crushed.
Hope this is helpful.
Gee, ya think?
The Cypriots don't have a lot of alternatives open to them at this stage in the game.
They could always allow themselves to go bankrupt...it's an option, if a painful one. They could go back to the Cypriot Pound, with an immediate devaluation of 40 to 50%. It would make vacationing there a lot cheaper, that's for sure.
They could sell off the southern part of the island to the Russians. They'd be happy to buy it, I'm sure.
Maybe they could just let Turkey take over the rest of the island. Turkey's in good shape, economically speaking.
Cyprus is bust. I know it's not the fault of the ordinary man-in-the street for their situation. I don't envy their situation, to put it mildly. They're damned if they do, and damned if they don't. It's an economic Kobayashi Maru, to use a Star Trek analogy. The no-win scenario.
this govt does not stand up for anyone but its cronies...
Canned goods. Shotgun shells and canned goods.
I'm thinking about land. If all falls apart, and you have the means to protect your property, at least you can grow your own food.
I'm thinking about land. If all falls apart, and you have the means to protect your property, at least you can grow your own food.
S&P Futures are also trading and are down 16.4. This may be the catalyst for the market correction.
"...If this happens here, prepare for CW2...."
The sock puppet is planning on it. Rest assured. That's why he needs that standing domestic army that just purchased all those hollow point bullets.
It's not "IF", it's WHEN!!! Anyone with half a brain can see it coming.
I don't have much, but I'll be at the door when the bank opens first thing in the morning and pulling it out. Screw FDIC, the Fed, Obama and the rest of their sorry asses. I worked too hard for it and it's not drawing hardly interest in there anyway. I'll take my chances with it in my own hands.
So, the government taxed 60-70% of their incomes (including a lot of non-revenue producing bureaucratic jobs) so they net 30-40% then they take 10% of that....?
Socialism is a AAA team out outright Marxism.
I was thinking about land. After reading this story, I am thinking of an island.
You're right. The U.S. economy isn't a "good economy" — it's simply less bad than the others. For now, that's good enough. For now.
Forgot SPAM!
You'll need a good manager won't you?
Allow me to give you my card....
whatever happened to that story??
You missed that boat.
Law books. They make great kindling.
Ah, the marxists among us are salivating! This is their dream! How they would love to take the money that normal people have accumulated through hard honest work without any special privileges.
How they would love to keep it or give it to the lazy slobs who vote democrat!
Cyprus will be vacant pretty soon.
Taking gold teeth out of gas chamber victims' corpses' mouths was a form of redistribution. Pass-book savings account is minor larceny by comparison.

The Truman Medical Centers Department of Radiology provides high quality, comprehensive, and compassionate patient care. Our department provides services 24-hours-per-day, 7-days-a-week. We offer digital mammography, ultrasonography, nuclear medicine, and magnetic resonance.
In addition, TMC is one of only a few hospitals in the country to acquire an important new tool for diagnosing illness in patients: a 128-slice Computed Tomography or CT Scanner. Where other CT scanners can take well over 20 minutes to complete a scan for trauma, this one can complete the task in about five. TMC is one of only a handful of hospitals in the nation to acquire such a scanner, which offers two important benefits in addition to speed. It provides exceptionally precise images (most CT scanners process four to 64 slices) and does so with minimal radiation exposure to the patient.
In addition to its use in trauma cases, the scanner is also used to evaluate the vascular system to detect blockages and other abnormalities and to plan surgeries.
To schedule an appointment, please call 816-404-0690.
CT Scan
Truman Medical Centers became one of the first hospitals in the United States to install the Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS 128 slice CT scanner. The 128-slice CT scanner is a highly adaptive scanner, providing exceptional image quality with minimal radiation exposure to the patient.
The scanner has been developed with all the latest technological advances in the world of Computed Tomography. Some of these advances include the Adaptive Dose Shielding technology which eliminates unnecessary radiation exposure to the patient through the pre- and post-scan range. This means that the only radiation dose the patient is exposed to will be for clinically relevant imaging.
The AS 128 will also allow the performance of perfusion imaging of the entire brain which will demonstrate blood flow throughout the organ over a short period of time. With speed of the scanner being faster than the average human heartbeat it will be able to accurately visual the heart vessels allowing for a safer, more precise scan.

Elsie LaVern Kennedy
Funeral services for lifelong Mancos resident Elsie LaVern Kennedy will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 20 at the Ertel Memorial Chapel. Interment will follow at Cedar Grove Cemetery. Reverend Bud Rousset will officiate.
Visitation has been set for Monday morning at Ertel Chapel from 9 a.m. until service time.
Elsie LaVern Kennedy was born to David and Grace (Thomas) Swenk on July 29, 1927 in Cortez, Colo. She departed this life on Jan. 14, 2014, at the age of 86.
Spending time in the mountains was a constant pleasure for LaVern and Edward, her husband of 65 years. Picnics with the family, gold panning, color rides, mushroom and berry hunting were their favorite activities. She was a member of Daughters of the American Revolution and Eastern Star.
Every marriage of her sons brought a daughter into her life, not just a daughter in law. Every one of them was considered a distinct member of the family. She looked forward to the birth of every great grandchild, which now totals 36. She remembered a story about every one of her 14 grandchildren and enjoyed telling them to remind them of how they grew up. Breakfast for overnight grandchildren typically consisted of a grapefruit and Grapenuts and she also kept the pantry well stocked with olives and pickles to open when the grandchildren came to visit. She enjoyed handcrafts including crochet, ceramics and needlework. She loved to garden and had a wonderful green thumb. She could simply scatter seeds and they would almost magically sprout. She enjoyed her houseplants, especially her orchids. She happily shared her years of life wisdom of vegetable gardening to anyone that was interested and never complained that she was unable to put up blackberry jam because her grandchildren always cleaned off the vines before she could pick them.
She was an excellent cook, but her roasts brought down the house. She canned as long as she could and then passed the tradition and taught the next generation to put up their food. LaVern was a cook for the Mancos schools and then the Aneth Boarding School until they retired.
LaVern was preceded in death by her husband, Edward; her oldest son, Ronald; daughter-in-law, Eileen Kennedy; granddaughter, Gena Kennedy and granddaughter, Darcy Kennedy. She is survived by her sister, Mary Lou Hall and Ace of Durango; daughter-in-law, Linda Kennedy of Price, Utah; by her sons, Walter and wife, Ana Maria of Aurora, Colo., James and wife, Tammy of Bloomfield, N.M., and Gary and wife, Catherine of Mancos; and grandchildren, Charlotte Olson, Shirley Barson, Cynthia Williams, Rondalyn Kennedy, JaLeen Kennedy, Wade Kennedy, Edward Kennedy, Christina Thrasher, Grace Kennedy, Amanda Olive, Cassandra Hergert, and Eduardo and Maria Lizet. She is also survived by numerous great grandchildren. Edward and LaVern were under the loving dedicated care of Lorna Ristau, Verna Jowell and Rosie Jones.
Services are under the direction of Ertel Funeral Home. For further information or to send condolences, log on to www.ertelfuneralhome.com and click on the obituary section.

First Endurance has come on like a firestorm over the last 3 years, and they've upended the energy supplement market with the magic of Optygen. You've likely seen their ads all over the place featuring Levi Leipheimer and Alberto Contador. If you've never heard the two of them talk about Optygen in magazine interviews, etc, let us assure you it's pretty interesting to hear them mention how much they love it. They're hardly being sponsor shills, it's obvious they really believe it works.
What is Optygen? Fundamentally speaking, it performs three main functions: 1) It improves the body's ability to adapt to high levels of physical stress. 2) It helps you utilize oxygen more efficiently. 3) It increases your anaerobic threshold and reduces lactic acid. As First Endurance says, "Optygen is a revolutionary endurance formula that's designed to help you optimize performance, maximize oxygen utilization and achieve greatness." We like the last part the best. We might only measure our greatness in humble ways, but thanks to our handy dandy SRM we measure, measure, measure all of the time and we'll take greatness in whatever small pieces we can get it! By they way, First Endurance emphasizes again and again that Optygen is legal, safe, and stimulant-free.
For those of you interested in the nuts and bolts behind supplements, here are the details on what Optygen offers:
Efficient Glucose Metabolism:The first part of the Optygen formula utilizes chromium for its ability to break down fuel. Chromium is an essential trace mineral that aids in glucose metabolism, regulation of insulin levels, and maintenance of healthy blood levels of cholesterol and other lipids. Chromium forms part of a compound in the body known as glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which is involved in regulating the actions of insulin in maintaining blood sugar levels and, possibly, in helping to control appetite. It is critical that any drink, bar or pre-race meal consumed prior to a race or exercise gets broken down efficiently in order to maximize your fuel delivery. Insulin spikes or lack of insulin response can cause the nutrients to either be rushed into your bloodstream too quickly or not quickly enough. Chromium regulates this nutrient breakdown so you have equal and sustained nutrient delivery to the working muscles.
Efficient Oxygen Transfer:The second part of the Optygen formula uses adaptogenic herbs to improve oxygen effeciency. Originally, these two adaptogenic herbs were gathered by Tibetan Sherpas for use in their tea. The Sherpas used these herbs to give them energy to climb Everest, which they did without the use of supplemental oxygen. One of the adaptogenic applications of Rhodiola that has received considerable research attention recently is for aiding in adaptation to high altitude, thus, as a preventive treatment for hypoxia or mountain sickness. In June 2002, Dr Rulin Xiu was awarded a patent for her work showing Rhodiola's ability to oxygenate blood. Clinical studies on Cordyceps have proven its ability to increase endurance through more efficient enzyme activity, mobilization of free fatty acids and beta-oxidation. In a 1998 study, Dr. Edmond Burke observed that Cordyceps has the ability to improve lactate energy metabolism within the cell. All these mechanisms clearly show how these two adaptogenic herbs improve the efficiency of oxygen transfer in the cell leading to improvements in oxygen uptake and VO2max.
ATP Production: The final step of the Optygen formulation puts all the necessary components together to assure efficient Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) production. Clinical research has shown that endurance athletes diminish their ATP stores in exhaustive exercise, which can lead to a reduction in aerobic metabolism and endurance. Optygen's proprietary ATPro™ matrix of five key nutrients is designed to assure ATP production. Since ATP is the final step in aerobic energy production, it is critical that the nutrients feeding the ATP cycle are readily available. Calcium pyruvate, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, adenosine and d-ribose all play critical roles in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, leading to efficient ATP production. Endurance athlete's VO2max is directly proportional to their ability to efficiently produce ATP.
A synergistic formula:The combination of the three components of Optygen create a synergy with the sole purpose of improving race performance through increased VO2max, reduced lactic acid and increased endurance. Though Cordyceps and Rhodiola taken by themselves would offer enhanced performance, the combination including Chromium Chelate and the ATPro™ matrix complete the formulation. It is this synergistic combination of key ingredients that make Optygen such a powerful and complete endurance formula.

When we first got our mitts on the Garmin Edge 810, we were immediately tempted to "accidentally" run over our old Garmin so we could have an excuse to get one. Garmin listened to a lot of user feedback about the 800, and the new and improved 810 incorporates all the things we wished we'd seen in the previous model. In addition to Garmin's peerless GPS technology, you also get Bluetooth connectivity that lets you tether the device to the Garmin app on your smartphone for real time data uploads, live-tracking and social network sharing. The phone can also push weather updates to the 810's screen, so you know when it's time to pull over and put on the rain cape. It also lets you customize an activity profile so you get different data displays depending on the type of training or riding you do that day.
Plus, with this handy bundle package, so you a premium heart rate sensor strap and a cadence sensor for more accurate, refined training data. The Map Card also gives you the ability to download local road and top maps from Garmin. Just load the map onto the card, pop it into the 810, and you're all set to go.
From 3/1/14 to 5/1/14 you can get a $100 rebate through Garmin.

About Me Avid Cyclist
Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Edge 810 Bundle & Map Card:
I use my Garmin as my main cyclometer. The display is easy to see and can be configured to keep its screen light on in the dark. Sunshine does not eliminate visibility. The distances, speeds, temperature, cadence, heading, grade, raise or fall rate are accurate, the altitude less ideal. Several bikes can be entered so each one can have cadence and wheel speed for each bike. The Garmin loads down to your computer with a standard medium USP cord. A free account online lets you keep track of all your rides for all your bikes and calculate goals, records and progress. Mine is now 4 years old and has good battery life, intact case and screen (although I use the case protection accessory). You do have to put a mount on each bike; I use the one that holds the unit in front of the handlebar because otherwise it uses a lot of handlebar space. The cadence sensors use several 2032 batteries in one season. This has been a wonderful product and I would highly recommend it. It is expensive, but it opens up so many new measurements and has software for processing which will take you to the next dimension of cyclometry. And you can't get lost: you can select "return to start" and it will take you back.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

OOOOOUCH!!! O_O Why?
"Why is this shoe so uncomfortable???? I wore this to work today, but I had a ride from near the entrance to where I live. So far, the shoes seemed "okay" to walk in, that was until I got to work and had to walk a few blocks in it. I had no idea these would be so uncomfortable. My toes burnt and nderneath my feet ached and ache so much that I literally could not wait to get them off my feet. I wanted to take them off and walk bare feet in the streets, that is how bad they hurt. Sadly, I bought these shoes about 4 Months ago and I NOW decided to wear them. I kept looking at it because it is so cute and unique, but wearing them was not worth it....at all. I wear a size 9.5w or 10m, I got the 10 and it fit fine, but again...TOO UNCOMFORTABLE. I absolutely cannot wear these home, I will have to wear my sneakers. I have 4 inch calvin klein heels that are MUCH MORE comfortable than these.Cute, BUT....- not enough cushion- instep not deep enough.- hard shoes- Very uncomfy to walk in- hurts my feet within 30 minutes of walking- walking on the streets with this shoes is agonizing.- I will attempt to return these."

"I've been looking for some oxfords that wasn't flat but also not very high heel. And these are perfect! So adorable and very comfy! On another website I saw them and people were saying they ran small but I don't think so at all. I am 8 or an 8 1/2 and the 8 fit perfect! If I went and got a 8 1/2 they would have been way to big.

Julie Rodrigue and Kara Zakrzewski win gold at NORCECA beach volleyball stop
Elliott and Saxton add silver in men's play
GUATEMALA CITY - Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City and Kara Zakrzewski of Mississauga, Ont., won the gold medal on Sunday in women's competition at the fourth stop on the NORCECA beach volleyball circuit.
It is the first victory for the pair since they joined forces at the end of last season.
"Kara and I still can't believe it," Rodrigue told Volleyball Canada on Monday. "We beat a very strong team and really went in there without any expectations. It's a very special moment."
Rodrigue and Zakrzewski defeated top-seeds Nirian Sinal and Kirenia Ballar of Cuba 21-16, 15-21, 15-13 overcoming an 11-13 deficit in the third set. They opened the day with a semifinal victory over Costa Ricans Ingrid Morales and Natalia Alfaro.
"We really stayed focused," said Rodrigue. "We never worried when we were trailing. We just concentrated on the next play. Our serves were the key late in the third set. We knew we had nothing to lose and we really forced our serves. That put them off balance and we turned the tables on them."
"I still can't believe it," added Zakrzewski, on her Facebook page. "What a great way to start the season. We came back to win (thanks to some) some clutch serving and cheers from the crowd."
Rebecca Moskowitz of Toronto and Eve Marie Dansereau-Laberge of Verdun, Que., placed fifth.
It was also a great weekend for Jessi Lelliott of Kelowna, B.C., and Ben Saxton of Calgary who won the silver medal on the men's side. They lost the final to Karell Pena and Sergio Gonzales of Cuba in straight sets. In the semifinal the Canadians beat Dany Wilson and Mark Lewis of Jamaica.
"The loss stings a lot, we really wanted to come here and win this tournament," Lelliott told Volleyball Canada. "Still it was good to make it to the final and we beat some strong teams on the way. We didn't serve aggressively enough against the Cubans. They are both big guys and great jumpers and hit high and hard. We didn't play our best match."
One of those big victories was a 21-18, 18-21, 15-10 upset of top-seeds Michael Bruning and Jason Wight of the U.S., on Saturday.
All three Canadian entries here are scheduled to compete at the first stop on the FIVB World Tour circuit later this month in Brasilia, Brazil.

The Emery County Republican Party held their county convention on April 16. One hundred twenty five delegates were present to cast their ballots for the candidates pursuing public office. Lieutenant Gov. Spencer Cox spoke as did State Senator David Hinkins.
For the commissioner A position currently held by Commissioner James Nelson there were three candidates. Incumbent Nelson was nominated by Commissioner Jeff Horrocks. Mike Hurdsman nominated Randy Bell.
Ken Johnson nominated Keith Brady. In the Commissioner B race Commissioner Nelson nominated Commissioner Horrocks. Jackie Arrington nominated Gary Arrington and Ira Hatch nominated Paul Cowley.
In the race for county attorney Mike Olsen was nominated by Neal Peacock and Lowell Morris nominated Mark Tanner.
In the recorders race there were three candidates; Joel Hatch nominated Connie Jensen; Dixie Swasey the present and retiring recorder nominated Gayleen Cox and Lynn Sitterud nominated Jeff Guymon.
The 125 delegates that were chosen in the precinct meetings in March voted on secret ballot for their choices.
If a candidate receives 60 percent of the vote then they avoid a primary election in June. In the Commissioner B race a primary will be not be necessary as Candidate Cowley received more than 60 percent of the votes.
In the Commissioner A race a primary will be held in June for candidates James Nelson and Keith Brady.
In the county attorney race Mike Olsen will be the candidate. In the recorders race Connie Jensen will be the candidate.
Other candidates running unopposed include: Sheriff Greg Funk, Treasurer Steven Barton, and County Assessor Kris Bell. Brenda Tuttle the clerk/auditor has an Independent opponent.

Robert Caro is a New Yorker. And the restaurant at which he chooses to have lunch is as New York as they come. Patsy's Italian restaurant, off Broadway on 56th, has been run by the same family since it was opened in 1944 by Pasquale "Patsy" Scognamillo. It was a favourite haunt of Frank Sinatra, and the walls are plastered with photos of film and TV stars, including what looks like the entire cast of The Sopranos, whose near-doubles are here on the day I meet Caro, sitting hunched over plates of manicotti and chicken contadina.
Caro, dressed in sober dark suit and tie, cuts a slighter more elegant figure as he enters. The restaurant is near the Columbus Circle office where, for the past 22 years, he has continued to work on his biography The Years of Lyndon Johnson. Earlier this year, Bill Clinton described the latest volume, The Passage to Power, covering the early 1960s and the assassination of JFK, as "fascinating and meticulous". Caro, the former president continued, had "once again done America a great service".
The biography is famous not just for its erudition but also for its length: the four volumes published so far run to a total of 3,500 pages – and the length of time it has taken to write (the first volume appeared 31 years ago, the longest gap between books is 12 years). Together, they tell the story not just of the man whom Caro argues is the most important American president of the 20th century but of the political landscape he inhabits. From Johnson's youth in the bleak Texas Hill Country (The Path to Power, 1982) to his rise to Congress, including a controversial description of how the future president, in Caro's view, cheated in the 1948 Texas Democratic primary (Means of Ascent, 1990) to his domination of the Senate (Master of the Senate, 2002). At each turn, the books shed light not just on US history but on politics in the present day.
Caro, 77, is researching what he promises will be the final volume. "I said when I started these books that it would be three; now it's five, but this is where it's supposed to stop," he laughs. It will cover the years from Johnson's victory in the 1964 presidential election to his death in 1973, a period overshadowed by the war in Vietnam. Johnson, says Caro, liked to pick bombing targets himself. It's a shocking piece of information but not a surprising one. The LBJ that Caro portrays is a complex character: a man of great cruelty but also great compassion. Caro's Johnson mercilessly bullies his staff and his long-suffering wife, Lady Bird. But he is also the man who forced the first meaningful civil rights bill through Congress, and then as president championed those rights. "I was the first one to write the truth about Johnson," Caro says, before pausing to wonder if this is why Lady Bird stopped talking to him during his research for the first book.
We stop to look at the menu and Caro tells me that many people don't like the restaurant because it serves traditional "red sauce" Italian food. He expresses disappointment that a fresh crabmeat cocktail appetiser is not available. "It was the appetiser of my youth," he says sadly. "No one serves it nowadays." Instead, he has chopped salad, and chicken livers cacciatora. I order a house salad, then shrimp scampi with spaghetti.
He tells me how his view of his subject was formed during research of Johnson's childhood and college years in Texas. To do this Caro – and his wife (and sole researcher) Ina – moved to Texas for three years. "If you write about power," he says, "it's necessary to show not just the person who uses power but the effect of that power on people. You have to go to the place. You never know what you're going to find." With his New York vowels, that last word comes out "foind".
"If you can get a clear picture of someone at college, you can get a clear picture of him at any stage of his life," he says. "So I said I'm going to try to find every classmate of his.
"They didn't have an alumni directory. It wasn't like Oxford, or Princeton [where Caro went to university]. I remember Ina and I sitting on the floor of the New York Public Library with all these telephone books. I did find a lot of his classmates, out of which emerged this totally revelatory story about him, about his personality. But just finding them took weeks, if not months."
Caro's meticulous research into Johnson's youth in rural Texas resulted in a portrait of a young man scarred by poverty, driven by his father's failure as a businessman, farmer and politician, and desperate for power. It's a portrait that was controversial at the time of publication but one that Caro stands by nearly four decades on. "My opinion of Johnson hasn't changed – it's the same guy. As Michelle Obama said at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, 'Power reveals.'"
Caro's fascination with power, and his desire to examine it through biography, began long before he embarked on his decades-long Johnson project. After studying English at Princeton, he found work as a newspaper reporter in New Jersey, before taking leave to work for the Middlesex County Democratic party. Accompanying a senior Democrat during an election in the early 1960s, he witnessed a group of African-Americans, acting as poll-watchers, being loaded into a police van.
It was, he explains, an episode that affected him deeply and he left the campaign trail immediately. He decided then that he would write about political power – but as an outsider, first as an investigative reporter with the Long Island newspaper Newsday, then on his first biography, The Power Broker, a 1,250-page epic on the life of Robert Moses, the master builder responsible for the Triborough Bridge and many of the other bridges, parks and parkways that now characterise New York.
Writing about Moses and, later, about Johnson, says Caro, he drew on the example of Ernest Hemingway, on whom he wrote a dissertation at Princeton. In Death in the Afternoon, for example, Hemingway describes the goring of a bullfighter, and the whiteness of the bone in the bullfighter's thigh. "I wanted to describe like that, what you are seeing," says Caro.
His writing also has a crusading element. As an example, he tells me that one of Johnson's greatest achievements, albeit one designed to help his corporate backers, was to bring electricity to isolated rural farms in Texas. "They [the farmers] would tell me these stories about Johnson, you know, some of them were terrible stories, but then, over and over again, you'd hear the same thing: 'We loved him because he brought the lights.' Intellectually, I knew what he had done but I had no idea how [it] had transformed their lives.
"I always want to show what the potentialities of government are, what's the potentiality of political power," he continues. "Here you have an isolated area, a tabula rasa. Before [Johnson] became a congressman, they lived like this. After he became a congressman, they lived like that. It's very important now, when there's all this debate about how big government should be, they forget what government is. Here, here is such a dramatic example of what government can be."
The Robert Moses biography took Caro seven years to write, and as soon as it was finished, in 1976, he began work on Lyndon Johnson. "Every month, you know, every month the rent was a problem ..." he recalls. But then the New Yorker bought the rights to serialise The Power Broker. "The first thing I did, I asked [my agent], 'How long does it take a cheque like this to clear?'" and the next morning he and Ina were on an aeroplane to France.
In the 37 years since, the couple – who married as soon as Caro left Princeton – have spent almost every summer there. In France his and Ina's roles are reversed. A historian of medieval Europe, she has published two books about the country, and Caro plays second fiddle. "I carry her books around. I drive, I chauffeur her. I'm always wakened by the rustle of maps. She's always saying something like 'It's 180km – that's not too far to drive for lunch.'" He remembers how, when he told her that, to understand Johnson's youth, they needed to move, temporarily, to Texas, she replied: "Couldn't you do a biography of Napoleon?"
He says when they are in France he tries never to mention Johnson. And, though it's easy to imagine Caro is obsessed by his work, he says he has been careful not to allow Johnson to take over his life. "I don't care how late I work in the office but I never bring anything home about Johnson."
As we struggle through our enormous main courses, having just about managed our salads, Caro speaks, as he writes, with painstaking precision. "I'm going too fast," he keeps saying. Sometimes he stops, wincing as if in pain, as he reflects on what answer he wants to give. Although he writes quickly, he edits and re-edits himself right up until the last minute.
His efforts have been rewarded with two Pulitzer prizes and the Francis Parkman prize, awarded by the Society of American Historians to the book that best "exemplifies the union of the historian and the artist". In 2010 he received the National Humanities Medal from President Obama. "After the ceremony, [Obama] is standing right there and he looks at me and says, 'Robert Caro, I remember reading The Power Broker when I was 22 and I know it shaped my political thinking.' That was really right from the heart. It meant a lot."
I ask whether he thinks Johnson can teach today's politicians anything. He compares Obama's achievement in getting the healthcare bill through Congress to Johnson getting the 1957 Civil Rights Act passed. "There are lots of things wrong with the healthcare bill, like there were [with the Civil Rights Act], but once you got it passed, it's easier to go back to fix the situation." He also sees similarities between the sclerotic, ineffectual Senate before Johnson took over as majority leader in 1951, and the current logjam in Congress.
"I do see parallels. Harry Reid [Democrat Senate majority leader since 2007] came to my apartment two or three weeks ago – Mr and Mrs Reid came – and we had a wonderful morning. In talking with him about the Senate, and the difficulties he has in getting it to pass legislation, I had the feeling we were talking about the Senate of the 1950s. The same dysfunctional place.
"Johnson was majority leader for six years [from 1955 to 1961]. During those six years the Senate really works – he passes all those social welfare bills, he passes the Civil Rights Act. And the minute he leaves, the Senate goes back to being the same mess it was before and since."
He says the issues that readers email him about now are the role of money and the media in elections – negative and big-budget campaigning was pioneered by Johnson in his fight for election to the Senate in 1948. "Just think: $2bn was spent on advertising in this [recent presidential] campaign. This election was sort of revolting in a way," he says, spearing a piece of liver with relish.
As we share an Italian cheesecake for dessert, Caro tells me that Anthony Trollope is his favourite author and that he is rereading Can You Forgive Her? for the third time.
It's not surprising he should be so drawn to Trollope, whose sure-footed portrayal of the interplay between politics and the personal, as well as his fluidly elegant prose, could be a blueprint for Caro's own style.
He is perhaps at his most Trollopian when writing about feuds that overshadowed the lives of both his subjects – Robert Moses' with Franklin Roosevelt; Johnson's with Robert Kennedy, who was appalled by his brother's decision to choose LBJ as his vice-presidential running mate in 1960. Bobby Kennedy, says Caro, will be a "huge presence" in the next book: "I can't wait to write the Robert Kennedy/Johnson scenes. You would have to be a pretty bad writer for this not to come out great."
We talk about how disturbing it was that, as Bobby Kennedy lay dying in hospital after being shot in June 1968, Johnson kept asking his aides, "Is he dead? Is he dead yet?" I wonder why Johnson tried to stop Bobby being buried at Arlington National Cemetery with his beloved brother, despite Johnson having once fought for a place there for a Mexican soldier who had been denied one on race grounds. As I mention this, Caro gets excited – "I didn't see that" – and borrows a sheet of paper and my pen to make a note of it while I bask in the glory of having perhaps made a contribution to the next volume.
Caro says he knows what the last line of the last volume of The Years of Lyndon Johnson will be, and, when he takes me up to his office after lunch, he allows me to look at everything except the outline that is pinned on the wall in dense typewritten pages. (He writes in longhand on white legal pads, then on a typewriter, and has only recently acquired a computer.)
All his last lines are powerful. In the latest volume, he closes the description of Johnson's Herculean efforts in the months after John F Kennedy's assassination by noting that the darker forces in his character would soon resurface. "If he had held in check these forces within him, had conquered himself, for a while, he wasn't going to be able to do it for very long. But he had done it long enough."
And what of his own efforts? "You feel, if you have found out something about political power, you don't just want one generation to know it, you want succeeding generations to know it. And to do that, the book will have to endure. And if you want it to endure, the level of the writing has to be the same as great fiction."

Only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the black holding thingy. I'm not a big fan of that."

Some scientists agree that inaccurate information repeated often enough will convince you it is true. They also agree that some of the information given about global warming is misleading.
I believe that a good example of this repeated inaccurate information is global warming is caused by man-made carbon dioxide. This repeated statement ignores any facts that disprove it, even from the Environmental Protection Agency.
In 2004, the EPA's report stated that methane gas is 20 times more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. The EPA's breakdown of kilotons of methane emissions in the U.S. for 2004 is as follows: urban landfills 6,709, natural gas systems 5,658, animal flatulence 5,363, coal mining 2,682, animal manure management 1,875, urban wastewater treatment 1,758, petroleum systems 1,222, and all others 1,245.
Why are these statistics ignored? If this was true in 2004, it is just as true today. I believe taxing urban landfills, natural gas systems and animal flatulence etc. doesn't raise enough taxes to satisfy politicians. Politicians know that if they can convince you that you are causing global warming, you will agree to be taxed for it.
Some scientists also agree that God created a perfect world for man to live on. Can't they also trust God to sustain His own sovereign creation? God created the salty ocean water for a purpose: to cleanse the polluted river water entering into it. God also created changing weather for the purpose of providing rain and sunshine on the earth to provide food to sustain man. God also created changing climate for a purpose, and man should not be interfering in God's sovereign and perfect creation. All things were created by God. (Rev. 4:11)

After 30-plus years, time has taken its toll on the four "Highlands Ranch" monument signs along the southern landscape of C-470.
The signs, built by Mission Viejo in 1981 near the exits of Lucent, Broadway, University and Quebec, are all beginning to chip and fade, and some of the foundations are crumbling.
The Highlands Ranch Metro District, which maintains the signs, began discussing options of what to do with them at its Nov. 27 board meeting.
"There's not any funding set aside for this project right now, but it's something that we are going to have to address," said Carrie Ward, director of parks, recreation and open space for the district. "The paint is really fading, a lot of the plastic is starting to fall off, outlines around the letters are starting to fall off and the Plexiglas is starting to fall apart. Things are just deteriorating."
Ward said the decision needs to be made whether to touch them up or take them down and start from scratch given the condition of the foundations. The lights on the signs were turned off permanently a year ago because the electrical system became too old and worn out and the district could not keep up with maintenance.
According to Ward, painting and patching would cost between $3,500 and $6,000 total for all four signs, whereas replacing them would cost between $40,000 and $60,000 per sign. Ward said the board of directors could approve using operational funds to paint and patch in 2013; otherwise any long-term replacement fixes would have to be discussed, and budgeted in advance.
She also discussed the possibility of coming up with a new design and working with the Highlands Ranch Community Association to come up with something together.
Board member Nancy Smith suggested that they keep signs at the boundaries near Lucent and Quebec and remove the other two to save money.
Fellow board member Carolyn Schierholz said her "personal opinion would be to make it a priority to come up with a new design in 2013 and stick the signs in the budget for 2014." She said if they don't have enough money to replace them all immediately they could touch up the current ones and then replace them later.
Board members Allen Dreher, Vicky Starkey, Kelly O'Sullivan and board chairman Rick Owens all said they would like to just see the signs touched up.
"They've been there for 30 years and they are part of our community," Dreher said.

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources in partnership with the National Wild Turkey Federation released 13 Rio Grande wild turkeys near Huntington at the DWR fish and game pond recently. About 60 Emery High School students participated in the release. Students were affiliated with FFA and were enrolled in agriculture and animal science classes at EHS.
"For the past seven years, Utah has been the number one wild turkey restoration state in the union," remarked Brett Johnson, NWTF Regional Field Supervisor. "In the past decade, the DWR and NWTF have brought nearly 7,000 birds into Utah from other states. Utah has come a long way from having virtually no turkeys to a current population ranging between 20,000 and 30,000 birds."
Jon Leonard, NWTF Utah State Chapter President indicated that the cost of releasing a single wild turkey from out-of-state runs around $188 per bird. This amount includes capture costs, transportation, veterinary expenses, interstate coordination and release efforts. In-state transplants like today's release costs about $25 a bird.
Two hens were outfitted with radio transmitters, which will allow biologists to monitor movements, nesting locations and possible flock migration. Marcy Curtis, President of Castle Country Gobblers, said that more than 200 wild turkeys were recently observed up Ephraim Canyon in Sanpete County. This was especially odd, since no wild birds had ever been released in that county. Some flocks apparently travel great distances from release locations. "This is so exciting," beamed Curtis. "Its makes me feel like a kid again." Curtis became addicted to wild turkeys during her high school years. "I love to involve students. When they get excited, they fire up a community, which pushes for more releases and release sites." Curtis urged EHS students to honor and respect private property, which provides some of the best wild turkey habitat to be found.
The Castle Country chapter of the NWTF hosted its annual fundraising banquet in Price at the Greenwell Inn. All proceeds go toward future transplant projects and youth and women outdoor programs. Browning Arms has manufactured a one-of-a-kind Citori 12-gauge shotgun for NWTF's Utah's statewide raffle.


text: After a race, my rear tire looks pretty good (smooth wear, rubber snot at the very edges), but my front tire is always covered with a mat of irregular pea-sized to bean-sized rubber blobs down the center third. Is this normal? If not, is it due to the fact that I'm a wuss and overbrake for most turns? Suspension or tire pressure issue? It looks to me like the result of some sort of high frequency chatter under braking, but its nothing I feel while riding. I'm 225# with gear, and I have 5mm of (OEM/K3) tube above the triple, .95kg/mm springs w/ RaceTech, and a Diablo SuperCorsa DOT at 29lbs cold. -rg

JST, Mark 3:21–25.
21 And then came certain men unto him, accusing him, saying, Why do ye receive sinners, seeing thou makest thyself the Son of God.
22 But he answered them and said, Verily I say unto you, All sins which men have committed, when they repent, shall be forgiven them; for I came to preach repentance unto the sons of men.
23 And blasphemies, wherewith soever they shall blaspheme, shall be forgiven them that come unto me, and do the works which they see me do.
24 But there is a sin which shall not be forgiven. He that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, hath never forgiveness; but is in danger of being cut down out of the world. And they shall inherit eternal damnation.
25 And this he said unto them because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

Update: Giacomo's closed for renovation for most of spring 2009. They reopened on May 11, 2009, with a changed menu. See a more recent review here.Thanks to google translator for that one.
I live just up Main Street from Giacomo's, and though it's no vegan hot spot, I seem to find plenty of things to spend money on. First of all, the coffee: Coffee by Design roasts some tasty beans. I drink it black, which is gross with acidic or flavored coffee, but lovely with the mellow Atlantic Sunrise blend. My husband, who is a masochist, buys beans and makes a thermos of super-concentrated Alanzo's Double Dark every morning. It hurts me even to smell this coffee; it is heart-stoppingly strong. Giacomo's also has Silk, so you can get your soy latte or chai.
When I lived in Boston and bought groceries at Stop 'n Shop, I used my breadmaker all the time. Now that I have Giacomo's, my breadmaker is sad and dusty in the attic. They carry breads from Borealis, Artisan Brick Oven, and Daily Bread, and I buy a loaf or two weekly: the Artisan apple cinnamon makes yummy toast (not strictly vegan-- it contains honey), and the Daily Bread sliced wheat is a good honest sandwich bread.
Most of Giacomo's sandwiches are meaty, but the standard Caprese is a vegetarian option, as is the vegetable antipasto. I order the latter without cheese. It's a little messy, with kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, and roasted red peppers popping out everywhere, so I recommend eating it where no one can see you. The rosemary focaccia is salty and good! A couple of times a month we pick up sandwiches and a bag of Little Lad's Herbal Popcorn and eat like slobs. Last summer a hummus wrap was available, which could also be made vegan.
There are vegan options from the deli. The tuscan bean salad (pictured above) contains chickpeas, red onion, tomato, parsley, garlic, olive oil, and probably some other things, but no cheese, 'cuz I asked. I like to toss it with whole wheat penne, drizzle it with a little extra olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice, and bring it to work for lunch. I can barely concentrate all morning if I know I've got this waiting in my lunchbox, especially if I've topped it off with stuffed grape leaves. YUM. The fruit salad, roasted vegetables, and panzanetta are also vegan (though I don't understand the appeal of soggy bread).
Giacomo's carries good wine and good beer, too. They have an impressive selection of Belgians for Bangor.
Now all they need is a platter of vegan cupcakes...

Benitez in dark over Demba Ba
Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez insisted he knew nothing of reports suggesting Newcastle striker Demba Ba was set for talks with Blues officials.
- Related Content
Sky Sports sources understand Ba's representatives were due to meet with Chelsea on Sunday evening.
Ba, who has 13 goals already this season, has a £7million release clause in his contract which becomes active in January when the transfer window opens.
A host of clubs have been linked with a possible swoop for Ba, including Arsenal, Tottenham, QPR and French giants Paris Saint Germain.
Asked after Chelsea's 2-1 win over Everton if he knew anything about the reports, Benitez said: "No, because we don't talk about this business, we had a very important game today."
