Scott Simmons becomes chief operating and financial officer.
Thad Rueter
ShopRunner, an e-commerce delivery service that competes with Amazon.com Inc.'s Prime, has hired Scott Simmons as chief operating and financial officer. He comes from comparison shopping site Nextag, where since October 2008 he had been president and chief operating officer, according to his LinkedIn account.
ShopRunner lists more than 70 client retailers. Consumers pay $79 a year to receive two-day shipping on products purchased online from those retailers—the same general arrangement as Prime, though Amazon's program also offers access to at least 25,000 TV and movie titles.
"Scott brings an impressive combination of executive and financial leadership skills to ShopRunner, with a track record of helping build and manage a successful global company," says Scott Thompson, CEO of ShopRunner. "As ShopRunner continues to expand, Scott's relevant experience and industry expertise will undoubtedly help increase our momentum and sustain long-term growth."
Simmons started at Nextag in March 2000 as its vice president of finance. His other jobs there included vice president of business development and senior vice president of marketing. Before Nextag, he worked as an investment analyst.
Late last year, ShopRunner opened 100 "PickupPoints" where online shoppers can collect their purchases at retail and convenience stores.
One retailer in the Internet Retailer Second 500 Guide reports using Nextag for comparison engine feeds: FoodServiceWarehouse.com LLC, No. 661.

If you enjoy this Pasta Glossary, we have a food glossary for almost every category of food, including Italian favorites like cheese, espresso and olive oil. Plus, find reviews of our favorite brands of pasta and sauces, pasta recipes and informative articles about pasta in our Pasta Section.

This glossary is protected by copyright and cannot be reproduced in whole or part.
The Italian word for "radiators," radiatore (rah-dee-a-TOE-ray) are short, chunky pasta shapes about 1 inch by 1/2 inch, with ruffled ridges that radiate out. One of the more elegant pasta shapes, they look great sauced or in casseroles, salads and soups.
A ragù (rah-GOO) is a meat-based sauce. The Italian word derives from the French ragoût, from the verb ragoûter, "to revive the taste." A ragù is usually made by adding meat to a soffritto, a mixture of chopped onions, celery, carrots and seasonings (garlic and fresh herbs such as parsley or sage), that is partially fried in olive oil. (A soffritto is the progenitor of the French concept of the mirepoix.) It is then simmered for a long time with tomato sauce.
Ragù can be made with any meat or game. Ragù alla bolognese (sometimes known as Bolognese sauce) is made with ground pork, beef and pancetta. Ragù alla Napoletana (Neapolitan ragù) includes sliced beef, raisins and pine nuts.
Ramen are Japanese wheat noodles. While they are known to Americans largely as salty, inexpensive packaged noodle soup mixes, in Japan there are as many varieties of noodle and recipes as there are prefectures, ramen dishes are fine cuisine and innovation is the name of the game, where recipes are closely-guarded secrets.
Pasta pillows stuffed with a variety of cheese, meat, seafood or vegetable fillings. Ravioli (rah-vee-OH-lee) can be circular or square; specialty shapes like hearts and fish are also made. They are served with butter or olive oil, sauce or in soups. Read reviews of some of our favorite ravioli.
Miniature raviolini. These can be served as a pasta dish, hors d'oeuvres or put into soup, like won tons.
Thai noodle dishes, such as the famous Pad Thai, are made from rice sticks. These are vermicelli-shaped thin strands that are made from rice flour and water, instead of wheat flour. Because the noodles are stir-fried, not boiled, they must be soaked in warm water for an hour prior to cooking. They are also available in a wider form for other dishes.
Medium-width lasagne noodles with frilled edges. Pronounced REE-cha LAHR-ga.
A somewhat skinnier, smaller version of rigatoni (ree-gah-tone-CHEE-nee). The size and density of these ridged tubes are best suited to thick, clingy sauces. This cut also works well with al forno-style preparations. Artisanal rigatoncini by Rustichella d'Abruzzo are available from SalumeriaItaliana.com.
The difference between rigatoni and penne is that penne have angle-cut ends. See the photo of Rigatoni all' Amatriciana at the top of this page. A famous preparation, it includes a sauce of plum tomatoes, crushed red pepper flakes, pancetta or bacon, and grated Romano cheese.
Originating in northern Italiy, rotini are "spirals" or "twists" shorter than fusilli, about 1-½ inches long, with a tighter spiral that helps retain the local pesto sauce better. They are popularly used in pasta salads as well.
RUOTE or WAGON WHEELS
Small, spoked, wheel-shaped pasta. Ruote (RO-tay with a uo dipthong) means wheels in Italian.

Incredibly lifelike and versatile, the Big Bite Baits Swimming Craw will get the job done. When flipped or pitched, the claws of the Swimming Craw undulate and flutter on the fall, adding attraction and slowing its descent. The Swimming Craw also features a uniquely designed solid, tail end, which offers a little more "meat" for rigging your favorite hook or jig. Also equipped with a hollow head, the Swimming Craw's head cavity can accommodate a large rattle or can be used as a reservoir for scent. Available in several colors, the Big Bite Baits Swimming Craw's flailing claws produce plenty of water displacement and will certainly gain any bass' attention.

Customer Reviews
Comments: These things are not high quality but you definitely get your moneys worth. They are great for flippin and pitchin
From: Hunter: Broken Arrow ,OK 12/11/16
Comments: Good craw, but the arms are consistent in thickness which results in lack of big motions & rather small vibrations. The arms do get ripped off quite easily as well which can be problematic due to the small count of craws at 6.
From: Ben: McKinney, TX 5/13/16
Comments: The swimming craw really excels as a jig trailer. Excellent action on the fall & when swimming through cover. Almost identical in design to the Netbait Paca Craw, the Swimming Craw differs in that the tail section is a complete solid plastic pour, with only the head being hollow; whereas the Paca Craw is completely hollow. The added plastic is a benefit for rigging in that it helps retain the plastic on the hook, thus increasing it's longevity. In my experience, the Paca Craws, because of their completely hollow bodies, have a tendency to slide down hook/jig shanks. Smaller size, as compared to the Paca Craw, also means you don't get the bait helicoptering like the Paca Craw does. These really are my go to trailers for almost any situation.
From: Phil: St. Cloud, MN 10/15/15
Comments: these baits are awesome. I use prime rib and black and blue for jig trailers or texas rig. Caught several nice ones on these.
From: Logan: TX 8/24/15
Comments: These baits are designed to act just like the Netbait Paca Craws. The action, however is not nearly as good. The claws shake rapidly, almost like they are vibrating. They don't flap madly like Netbait Craws. My advice is to scrap these and get Netbait. They are the same price the Netbait has better action.
From: Micah: NY 8/30/14
Comments: Best trailer I have ever put on a flipping jig or football, the hole in the mouth and hollow top allows for bubbles to form and adds to its life like appearance, and it's cheap, I don't have to to around buying expensive trailer when this is the best
From: Chase: Spring, TX
Comments: Looks like they just ripped off the Netbait Paca Craw's design.

Maryland Landowner Creates Wildlife Haven & Keeps Property in the Family
Kirby Wells knew that if he wanted future generations of Wellses to enjoy the family's land on Maryland's lower Eastern Shore, something had to change.
The 1,700 acres Wells' grandfather had purchased in 1941, then drained and planted with loblolly pines was rapidly losing value. In 2006, the family's sawmill business closed due to the decline of the housing market, and the pressure to sell to developers was on.
Searching for a way to keep their property in the Wells Family Ltd. Partnership, Kirby Wells and his brothers learned that USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), through its Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), offered financial and technical assistance to remove their marginal land from production, restore it to a functioning wetland and protect it from future development.
WRP is best suited for agricultural land that is frequently flooded, like the Wells'. Landowners enrolled in the program retain the title to the land, the right to control access and recreational use, and still pay taxes on their property.
Wetlands provide habitat for fish and wildlife, including threatened and endangered species. Wetlands also improve water quality by filtering out sediments and chemicals, reduce flooding, recharge groundwater and protect biological diversity.
Restoration began in 2010 when the Wellses harvested 205 acres of middle-aged (20-year-old) pine for wood chips. The monoculture of pines was replaced with a variety of native trees and shrubs that provide habitat for a wide diversity of species such as pileated woodpeckers, black and white warblers and wild turkey.
The return of these creatures is a welcome sight for the Wells family. "Our purpose for this particular property is to use it for recreation purposes such as hunting and observation of non-game wildlife," Kirby Wells said.
Using the latest wetlands restoration science, a plan was developed to plug the network of ditches originally installed to drain the land for agricultural purposes.
Seventy-five plugs were strategically placed in ditches to allow surface water to flow more naturally over the land. Runoff from snow melt and heavy rain now drains slowly through the restored wetlands, giving time for plants to naturally absorb nutrients and the sediment to drop out before the water joins Kings Creek and flows to the Manokin River.
The Wells have been pleased with the program, and have enrolled an additional 700-acre parcel in WRP. "My parents and grandparents would be very happy we found a way to keep this land in the family," Kirby said. "We've cut enough trees in our life; it will be interesting to see something continue to grow forever."

This cats starting to creep out of the bag, emails flying left and right. Won't be long before the entire mess is front page.
"Do more than is required of you"

PAt PM me the Club name and president email address.
GRHRCH Grant's BLK TIE Marshbutler "Jeeves" MH
For Gods sake,would somebody just post what happened? 5 pages plus a deleted thread of doom and gloom and most of us have no idea what the heck is going on. Let all of us potential HRC members know whats going on,heck let the actual memebers know whats going on.
HRC still exists & will exist next year! Implosion or destruction is not in the future. As a matter of fact many of the local clubs are thriving!. Tests are full & people are getting hooked on the dog games. I will be running Finished this weekend & expect great judges, great tests, great people & great dogs. All the doom & gloom will not rain on my parade.
The gossip & innuendo I am hearing does not need rehashing on a public forum. There are plenty of passionate, dedicated volunteers that will make sure the organization remains viable & continues to thrive.
My concern is the resignation of some of the people that I respect & admire in the past year. Some one always is willing to step up but there is no easy way to replace decades of experience at a position. My business experience leads me to believe that when someone is excellent at their job, as a boss it is better to eat crow to keep that person rather than train someone new.
Dog to the line!!!!!
Mark Land
The reason the thread was removed was the final 2 posts.
The last one indicated that RTF had "hit a new low".
The one prior to that was a poor decision made by a member. That individual chose to describe an alleged email that supposedly went to the wrong destination. The email was vulgar, was fairly specific, and listed descriptions of the individuals in a fairly transparent manner. It had no business on a public forum.
I thank Lainee for zapping it. It was the right thing to do.

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
On Nov. 12, John Alexander Stephenson, IV accepted the position as administrator at Emery County Care and Rehabilitation. Better known as Alec, he will be filling the position previously held by Caleen Wilcox.
Stephenson said he is excited to be working in Emery County and at the Emery County Care and Rehabilitation Center. They (meaning he and the staff) are very excited about all the things going on there. Stephenson said, "The focus of this facility is taking care of the residents. There should be an article written about how great the Certified Nursing Assistants are. The article could detail some of the many tasks the CNAs perform for the residents to make them comfortable. Our focus is not to make money, our job is to see this care facility is run efficiently. The more residents we have the more efficient we can be."
Director of Nursing Kamie Conover said, "I am very excited to be working with Alec." This same sentiment was echoed by other staff members. They are looking forward to stability and continuity of management.
The new construction is a major overhaul, not just cosmetic changes. When the construction is finished it will make the facility even more attractive to potential residents. The exterior will look like an upscale hotel. The ECCR is licensed for 55 residents, at the present time the center has 37 residents. On the day construction is completed the ECCR will have beds for 51 residents.
The new electrical, plumbing and the new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, big units that go up on the roof means they will not have to worry about heat in winter and cooling in the summer. Director of Nursing Conover said, "It is sometimes difficult to control the heating and cooling with the present system."
This new construction will bring the building in compliance with new State and Federal regulations about circulating, filtering and humidifying the air, thus improving the quality of the air within the building. These are modern standards to help with infection control. The Emery County Care and Rehabilitation center will be the most up to date nursing facility in Utah. The new construction will provide more space, amenities and comfort for the residents.
Stephenson comes to ECCR with more than 35 years experience in the healthcare industry. He attended the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill where he majored in zoology, earning a bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Minnesota Duluth in 1975. Stephenson entered the physicians' assistant program in Charleston, S. C. earning a Masters of Health Science degree in 1977. At the time, at 25 years old, he was the youngest physicians' assistant ever to earn this degree.
Stephenson practiced as a primary care physicians' assistant in centers in Atlanta, Ga., ultimately earning his specialization in psychiatry from the North Carolina Mental Health consortium, primarily at Broughton Hospital in Morganton, N. C.
In 1985, Stephenson entered Utah State University where he obtained his Masters of Business Administration degree in 1988. For the next six years, he worked in marketing and sales, first for Merck, Sharpe and Dohme as a territory manager and then for National Orthotics Laboratories as the national sales manager.
Returning to South Carolina, he completed his Administrator-in-Training requirements in 1995, earning dual licensure as both a Nursing Home Administrator and an Assisted Living Administrator. He worked for the Magnolia Group in Spartanburg, South Carolina from August 1995 through December, 2005.
In his last assignment there, he worked as Executive Director of Magnolia Place for seven years, as well as overseeing the Central Billing Office, Hospice and a staffing agency for the Magnolia Group.
Stephenson is a very hands-on Administrator and will frequently be seen on the floor assisting CNAs in providing patient care. He believes in the ultimate value of team-work and cooperation between all departments in fulfilling the needs of all residents. He sees the care facility as a microcosm where residents, staff, families and the community work together to create a warm, inviting atmosphere for anyone that enters the facility. He is a firm believer in the power of communication, and operates with an open-door policy. He puts nursing as the pre-eminent function in the facility, but recognizes the need for a solid fiscal foundation. He looks forward to working with the ECCR Board of Directors in accomplishing this goal.
He and his wife Colby were married in the Manti Temple in August of 1974. They have five children and seven grandchildren. They relocated to Salt Lake City in 2006 to be closer to four of their children and their families, but will be relocating to Emery County in December or January.
Stephenson loves music, plays the piano and organ, and has sung with many different organizations through the years. He is also fluent in American Sign Language. The Stephensons both enjoy the out-of-doors and heartily look forward to exploring all the great features of Emery County. He finished the interview by saying, "This is a wonderful industry to be working in."

Due to the large amount of bottom land along the rivers and streams which are suitable for irrigated hay crops, ranching has been a valuable component of the area in and around Sublette County, Wyoming since this area was settled in the late 1800s. Ranching continues to provide a significant contribution to both the culture and economics of the communities in this area.
The majority of local ranches are authorized to graze livestock during a portion of the year on BLM administered allotments. Public land grazing is very important to the overall operation of the ranches because it provides pasture during the spring and summer when private hay meadows are being irrigated and producing hay that will be fed to the livestock during the winter.
Domestic livestock grazing administered by the Pinedale Field Office involves mostly cattle use with a few small horse permits; sheep grazing was never dominant in this part of Wyoming and currently, no sheep grazing is authorized in the area.
The majority of allotments within the Pinedale Field Office are grazed only during a 4 to 6 week period in May and June before the livestock are moved to higher elevation allotments administered either by the U.S. Forest Service or BLM and grazed later in the season (July through October). In some cases, the livestock are moved to private pastures.
A few allotments that are grazed season long (May through October), but these allotments typically have rotation systems that prevent cattle from grazing the same area during that entire time.
There are numerous projects such as water developments, fences, and brush control projects that have been developed on public land to support livestock grazing.

Post-conflict mediation is intended to create the best possible conditions to achieve peace between communities. For this reason UNESCO has launched a project entitled "Towards a plural identity in areas of intercommunity tension".
Its action consists in part of training workshops responsible for preparing and promoting appropriate data materials, particularly in written or audiovisual form, so as to develop the awareness and intercultural skills of young people. Such young people could in their turn become cultural mediators, living and practising cultural diversity and day-to-day dialogue. In this context, preventive warning mechanisms are a vital tool for appeasing or resolving conflicts that are frequently of cultural origin. An initial experiment has already been carried out in south-east Europe. A special field of action: The city, an intercultural laboratory and sphere of conflict prevention. Their penetrability to every influence, and the fact that they take in populations from the four corners of the earth, makes of vast cities a melting-pot in which the richest possible cultural mixes occur. However, this traditional foyer of cultural exchange and innovation also produces most of the ills of modern society: unemployment, poverty, crime, inadequate infrastructures and services, and environmental problems. Cities are increasingly in the front line in the struggle against exclusion and in the matter of security and intercommunal conflict prevention or management; they have to devise citizens protection and solidarity systems in the shadow of globalization. UNESCOs priority in this context is to foster the creation of decentralized data infrastructures to assist local authorities in political decision-making regarding the fight against exclusion. A data-base listing more than 700 best practices in urban harmony has now been drawn up on the basis of a Cities for Peace network. The Culture in the Neighbourhood project brings a magnifying glass to this attempt at intercultural dialogue in the urban environment, being based on partnerships between African and European countries and placing emphasis on social integration and participation of the inhabitants.

So instead she's dressed up to be made to look like Kim in one of Kris's 80s gowns. Her hair coloring and eye make up are clearly the K brand.ReplyCancel
Shipka is always so appropriately and tastefully dressed..The K kids however..I guess the one with the slits up to her pits is 18 but how in the hell did they get the gig to host? Man PMK must have a ton of $$ rolling in on all these hos.
And white go go boots…Are they coming back.
That dress makes Chloe look like she has no neck. I do like the bodice but the collar is too high for her.ReplyCancel
Lutz. Call me, I'll make u straight!ReplyCancel
I love Ed the Sock! I "met" him in Jasper one year just before a Snow Job. You must be another Canuck, keri-jade!ReplyCancel
Right? She wears that same pair all. The. Time.ReplyCancel
She also wears her hair like that All.The.Time.ReplyCancel
What, pray tell, is a Snow Job? I confess to being intrigued, TTM.ReplyCancel
Kiernan Shipka's stylist is amazing. On an older woman that dress would look like crap but it's perfect for her at her age. Nit picking about the makeup on her face is all I can do.
Doesn't Grande wear her hair like that because she's had a problem with it falling out due to it being over processed?
There's no one else worth mentioning in this group. Young affluent people who can't read don't get much attention from me.ReplyCancel
Ttm I need to know what a snow job isReplyCancel
Oh sorry, Charlie, I forgot to answer! Sugarbread, Snow Job is a week long winter party that Much Music used to throw every year; skiiing, snowboarding, lotta live music (Matthew Goode is a dirty, dirty talented but dirty musician), I was there when they were throwing it in Jasper. I don't even know if they do it anymoreReplyCancel
¡Dios Mio! I had heard that Kylie had had a lot of plastic surgery on her face but I literally looked right at her in that picture and had no idea who it was. Granted I was briefly stunned by that FUG dress Kendall has on (hideous x infinity) but what has Kylie done to her face? I thought it was PMK at first. She looks REALLY OLD! With the two sisters standing right next to each other, Kendall's face looks fresh and young. Kylie's face looks like she has 5 layers of makeup on and she looks 10 years older than Kendall. Creepy. I agree with whoever said they looked like they stole their mom's disco dresses (and Kendall ripped the seams on hers). Bruce should hire a cult intervention team to kidnap Kylie and take her off to a cave somewhere to deprogrammed her before it's too late.ReplyCancel

For three years I had a secret and it ruled every aspect of my life. Unfortunately, my secret wasn't very unique. Many in the skating world have and are struggling with this epidemic that controlled my mind and my body for so many years.
I had an eating disorder.

Construction to begin on Mason Neck Gateway kiosk
LORTON, Va.--The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Meadowood Special Recreation Management Area, along with many partners, is pleased to announce that construction of a Mason Neck Gateway Kiosk will begin shortly. Planning for the Gateway exhibit began almost seven years ago and will highlight the area's history and exceptional outdoor recreational opportunities.
Construction of the kiosk is scheduled to begin the first week of November and will last through early winter. Some activity may be noticeable in the wooded area on the BLM property between Gunston Elementary School and the Verizon building on Gunston Road. Staff of the BLM will be working with the Federal Highway Administration Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division and their contractor to complete the construction.
This wayside exhibit will provide an opportunity for visitors to learn about the many historic, environmental and recreational opportunities available on the peninsula. Also part of a larger network, the kiosk will also serve as a major trailhead for the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail and Washington Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail, as well as an introduction to other trails in the National Trails System. A network of existing and planned trails will enhance the visitor experience by facilitating access to Gunston Hall (a National Historic site), Pohick Bay Regional Park, Mason Neck State Park, Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge, and Meadowood Special Recreation Management Area.
Project features will include an access road, a 12-space parking lot, covered kiosk with information panels, lighting, current access to the South Branch Loop Trail and a rain garden for storm water drainage.
Many federal, state and local government agencies collaborated on this project, as well as the Friends of Meadowood, who submitted the initial successful proposal for partial funding in 2006. Project funds are from a variety of sources: the Virginia Department of Transportation Transportation Enhancement Program; Bureau of Land Management; Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail Office, National Park Service; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Virginia State Parks; Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority and Gunston Hall. The Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District will also install a rain garden at the site.
An information meeting has been scheduled from 8:30am to 9:30am on Monday, November 4, 2013, at the Lower Potomac Field Station, Building 2 Conference Room at 10406 Gunston Road, Lorton, Virginia 22079.
Please contact John Reffit, (703) 339-3467, for further information. A conceptual site plan for the project is available on request.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Middle-class Edwardians were the backbone of the nation: solid, respectable people who tried to keep up appearances and took pride in their homes.
Paintings of intimate interiors showed comfortable drawing rooms with women and girls sitting in quiet contemplation. Like characters in period fiction, they seemed trapped in their domestic lives. Other paintings presented sunlit rooms with open curtains, letting in light, air and the outside world.
As well as depicting scenes of domestic interiors, artists were also commissioned to create decorations for rooms, for example, Charles Conder's watercolours for the homes of Sir Edmund Davis and Pickford Waller.

Canada faces big challenge to make second round at men's world volleyball championships
By Ted Graham in Siestre, Italy
TRIESTE, Italy- In a city where epic stories have been written, can Canada's men's volleyball team author their own story - one where they cheat death?
On Saturday, September 25th the Canadians start pool play at the men's world volleyball championships as underdogs to advance to the second round.
The first match against Poland (ranked #6 in the world) kicks off the "pool of death" - so named because it contains the most top-ranked teams in a single four-team pool including Serbia (#4) and Germany (#11). Canada is currently ranked 20th in the world using a complicated formula that takes into account international results and level of competition.
The World Championships, like soccer's World Cup, takes place every four years and is arguably the best arbiter of volleyball's global titans - even more than the Olympics as it showcases the top 24 ranked teams in the globe (as opposed to the narrow 12-team Olympic field).
The top three teams from each pool advance to the second round starting September 30th and then continue winnowing down to a third round and semi-finals with the eventual championship final capping off in Rome on October 10.
Poland, Canada's first opponent, finished second at the 2006 World Championships in Tokyo and their squad of veritable giants (average height is almost 6'8" compared to Canada's 6'5") will be heavily favoured going into Saturday evening. Poland also has 10 players with World Championship experience under their belts.
Canada's best chance to advance to the second round will likely come in their last pool play match on Monday, September 27 when they face Germany.
"We need to be a bit more 'delinquent' against these teams," said Dan Lewis, Libero for Canada and a three-time veteran of World Championships. "The polite Canadian attitude needs to be put on the back burner."
"We need to have the killer instinct when we're at 20-20 in a game with these top teams so that we can sneak in an uppercut and knock out the champ," added Lewis.
The team is hoping for peak performance coming off a domestic tour against Cuba where they kept it close and even managed one win against the eighth ranked team over the three match series. Unfortunately they also faced a rough ride against an underrated team from the Czech Republic who swept them during a tour last week.
This is one of the youngest teams fielded by Canada at a World Championship. "We have only four players with World Championship experience" says head coach Glenn Hoag. "The younger guys will see the speed at which the game is played at this level."
Hoag himself has a history of success having been a member of the Olympic team that finished just out of the medals in Los Angeles in 1984 and having coached numerous pro teams to European titles over the last decade.
Canada plays at 11 am EST on September 25, 26 and 27. Canadian fans can follow the teams progress at www.volleyball.ca as well as view live scoring at www.fivb.com

Impulse Buy... Big RegretI am a professional stylist, and I purchased this dryer while attending a beauty trade show. Upon taking it home and further getting to use it, after the initial excitement of the show, it was a complete disappointment. The dryer was heavy upon regular use, the rubberized finish made it difficult and hair stuck to it, and it was far louder than I thought the demo dryer seemed when using it in the salon with clients. And the cord was only 9' long, not the 11' as stated. Sadly, I gave it away because I was so disappointed and had no option to return it. I now have a Solano 3700Moda and and quite happy with it. The only positive I can say is the brushless motor is the new groundbreaking technology, sadly nothing else dazzled me.Oct 5, 2013Brent / Pittsburgh

Simply Amazing!!Simply amazing, I have tried tons of other high end professional hair dryers and this does something fantastic to my hair that none of the others can do. After seeing it showcased at the New York beauty show I just had to get one! This dryer leaves my hair smoother, softer and makes it easier to straighten my curly, textured hair without leaving it flat and heavy feeling as some of the other dryers did. Oh and the speed? This dryer is the fastest you will find and it leaves my hair looking so smooth and like I just left the salon for a blow out!May 23, 2013MorganHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Super Sexy Italian Dryer Packed In Leather!I just picked this up at my salon 3 days ago mostly because the packaging was so impressive and it wasn't made in china like all the others. It seems like every dryer I have ever owned in the past was made in China and lasted 1-2 years so I wanted to try something totally different. This one has a lifetime warranty so I was confident that spending the extra $50 or so would be worth it.
So far in the few days I have had it I have to say it's probably the best dryer I have ever laid hands on. Comfortable, balanced, light, very very powerful and great looking! I hope I never have a problem out of it but if I do, I know I am covered by the lifetime warranty. I just wish I bought it at Folica because it is $40 cheaper than the salon I bought it at. Hope this review was helpful.May 21, 2013Cris S. / DenverHAIR TYPELight Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

Alternative Title: Taoism
Daoism, also spelled Taoism, indigenous religio-philosophical tradition that has shaped Chinese life for more than 2,000 years. In the broadest sense, a Daoist attitude toward life can be seen in the accepting and yielding, the joyful and carefree sides of the Chinese character, an attitude that offsets and complements the moral and duty-conscious, austere and purposeful character ascribed to Confucianism. Daoism is also characterized by a positive, active attitude toward the occult and the metaphysical (theories on the nature of reality), whereas the agnostic, pragmatic Confucian tradition considers these issues of only marginal importance, although the reality of such ...

IntroductionPueblo, name given by the Spanish to the sedentary Native Americans who lived in stone or adobe communal houses in what is now the SW United States. The term pueblo is also used for the villages occupied by the Pueblo. The prehistoric Ancestral Pueblo settlements, also known as the Anasazi and Mogollon cultures, extended southward from S Utah and S Colorado into Arizona, New Mexico, and adjacent territory in Mexico. The transition from Archaic (see Americas, antiquity and prehistory of the) hunters and gatherers to sedentary agricultural populations occurred around the 1st cent. A.D., when corn, squash, and beans were widely adopted; the trio of foods is still used by the Pueblo. Although agriculture provided the bulk of the diet for these early populations, hunting and gathering was an important source of additional foodstuffs. Pottery manufacture began about A.D. 400 and was used for cooking and water storage. Clothing was woven from cotton, grown in warmer areas, and yucca fiber. Early houses among the Ancestral Pueblo peoples were pit houses, which were replaced by adobe and stone surface dwellings throughout the region by the end of the first millennium A.D.
Villages were variable in size and architectural content, but most included circular, often subterranean structures known as kivas (apparently a derivation of the pit house) and storage pits for grains. Prior to the 14th and 15th cent., densely settled villages were more the exception than the rule. Large pueblos were found at Chaco Canyon, dating to the 11th and early 12th cent., and at Mesa Verde, where multistoried cliff houses were inhabited in the 13th and 14th cent.; a great lunar observatory was built at Chimney Rock, S Colo., in the 11th cent. Changing climatic conditions forced the abandonment of much of the region by the early 14th cent., with populations migrating to their present-day locations in the Rio Grande valley and a few other isolated areas (e.g., the Hopi mesas).

but you thought moria would join LOL jkjk but really if we fet another girl i want some one better than her. a swords women maybe or a logia. a strong independent woman not a girl. you know i know boney is strong and all that but i want something more than boeny if we get another chick in the crew.
I know maybe I should be careful about how often I converse with you lol (and I just said Moria was going to survive lol)
Idk, granted I would love a new fresh character as much as teh next person. But there is just something about Bonney I don't think is finished. It has been two years so she could've escaped ID. I wouldn't have been air tight with security yet so maybe she got out and made her way somewhere. Idk I just think obviously she has a tragic past and hates the WG. So maybe she'd fit into the SHs...idk it's a long shot ik but who's ideas aren't?
edit-And I swear Cross if you say yours aren't (even if you are just doing so to make this statement true) so help me.....lol
well mine are just what i think nothing really to go on yet but i really think the next member will be related to tom. but i do think boeny has a larger role to play in the story but i do not think that she is going to be in the crew.
