As the old adage goes, businesses cannot manage what they do not measure. Becoming a sustainable enterprise starts with information rarely or never collected in the past. Sustainability requires internal and external information sharing and collaborative efforts to track the impact of energy, water, waste, and other resources and processes (manufacturing, storage, distribution, and so forth) across the product life cycle and business operations.
Tracking and analyzing information across the life cycle—from design to shipping to disposal to reuse—is the only way to fully understand and begin to achieve sustainability goals. Taking more modest steps focused on efficiency will also deliver measurable results. According to The Climate Group, information technology has the potential to deliver emissions savings of 15 percent (the equivalent of 7.8 billion metric tons of CO2e) from global emissions by 2020, largely by improving efficiency across economies.1
As discussed in the article, "Sustainability: Moving from compliance to leadership," the role of IT is to create visibility and feedback across the enterprise and extended value chains so that sustainable practices become embedded in ongoing operations. Doing so will support the staff engagement with sustainability and will support the creation of closed-loop feedback systems that drive changes in design, sourced material, and business processes to improve sustainability. Visibility is about consumption, waste, labor practices, and so on, and feedback is about the impact of decisions or changes. Over time, this coordinated use of information will embed sustainability practices in enterprise operations, rather than positioning sustainability as a separate compliance or reporting activity as it is in most enterprises today.
PwC identifies four key emerging information technology areas to address enterprise sustainability. These four areas span the life cycle of information from where it is created to where it is reported, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1
Emerging technologies that collectively can advance sustainability efforts and objectives
Most enterprises have little experience— and no mechanisms—for collecting data about the environmental and social impacts of their products and operations. Current efforts to collect sustainability-related information are manual and nonstandard. Emerging instrumentation methods bring the promise of allowing organizations to move away from ad hoc, manually oriented accounting to more automated solutions. "As much as you can, you want to remove that manual portion of the process and just have the energy data feed directly into the system," says Ryan Whisnant, director of sustainability at SunGard. "I would anticipate that we're going to see more and more moves in that direction."
For example, by using devices that have complex sensing software to track and communicate resource consumption and movement, companies can gain a much better understanding of their energy usage habits and may be able to respond to market volatility with intelligence that can lead to strategic decisions.
Through enhancements to areas such as heating, ventilation, cooling, and control systems, companies can improve their visibility of information about energy consumption in buildings and facilities. According to one estimate, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and lighting are responsible for more than 70 percent of a building's energy consumption.2 Building automation and control companies such as Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Schneider Electric, and Siemens offer instrumentation products and systems aimed at greater control over new or existing buildings. Emerging end-user products such as smart thermostats from Nest and Ecobee allow control via the Internet and learn over time to save energy.
The more advanced version of energy instrumentation is part of the smart grid vision. The smart grid is a concept to promote more responsible, reliable, and strategic use of energy resources. Smart grids are intelligently integrated electrical networks that not only distribute electricity but also provide much richer monitoring and measurement capabilities that will encourage more sustainable practices. This is accomplished by placing sensing, control, and reporting devices at all points along the energy chain, creating a closed feedback loop that helps suppliers understand customer usage patterns, respond to events that occur anywhere in the energy chain, and provide incentives for changing consumption patterns to reap savings on energy prices.
Many initial efforts in instrumentation are limited. For example, often a latency of data flow—sometimes as long as 24 hours—prevents some early smart meter architectures from enabling quick response. In an ideal situation, the data would trigger an immediate adjustment to energy flows, driving higher efficiencies, leveling consumption patterns to avoid extremely high peaks, or preventing blackouts.
To facilitate the collection and realtime reporting of information related to resource consumption, many businesses have begun to use the smartphone. With its GPS capabilities, the ubiquitous smartphone is evolving into a platform for the instrumentation of corporate resource management.
For example, CarbonTrack is an iPhone application offered by SAP that allows users to track carbon footprints from daily commuting or business trips.
The next component in the strategic approach to sustainability is to manage all the information that can quantify, track, analyze, and provide feedback and visibility into sustainability performance and lead to appropriate business decisions. Applications for managing environmental resources are known in the market by many names—carbon management, energy management, and energy and resource management, among others. With origins in measuring greenhouse gas, energy usage, or carbon footprint, these applications aspire to manage all environmental resources such as water, precious metals, waste, and so on, as well as social impact. For the purpose of the discussion in this article, PwC calls this application category enterprise sustainability planning (ESP) software.
Table 1
Emerging features and functions of enterprise sustainability planning (ESP) solutions
In their short lifetime, ESP applications have quickly evolved as a key system of record for corporate sustainability. The features and functions these products offer are evolving rapidly. Table 1 provides a list of features that can be expected now and in the future from this class of solutions. For most enterprises, the journey of using these solutions starts with implementation in local facilities or departments. However, the tools create the most value when metrics, visibility, and impact occur at the enterprise level.
With an ESP solution implemented throughout a global enterprise, companies can consider information in the context of business operations, linking resources such as water and energy to products and services across their life cycle. In addition to tracking resource consumption, the objective of ESP solutions is to help CIOs and business leaders place a value on these resources and then find ways to enable innovations in sustainable products, reduce consumption, mitigate exposure, and change business practices to optimize resource use. "Enterprises have so many choices in how they can act on sustainability. They need an optimization function that looks across all options. They can't do that without software," says Peter Graf, chief sustainability officer at SAP. Modeling and analysis capabilities in ESP solutions allow businesses to target the most optimal returns.
Because sustainability is a relatively new category for enterprise applications, the nascent market is approached from various entry points, each with its own frame of reference, but there are already more than 100 vendors. Table 2 provides a sampling of vendors and their areas of focus.
The opportunity for the vendors is to make energy and other environmental resources something that enterprises manage in a more automated manner. "The energy sector has really never leveraged information technology in a meaningful way," says Amit Chatterjee, founder and board member of Hara Software. "At Hara, as we engage with our customers, we find that after all these years of Internet communications, there's still a lot of use of paper, phone, and fax," Chatterjee continues, suggesting the potential for automation.
Table 2
A sampling of enterprise sustainability planning (ESP) solution vendors
The opportunity for enterprises is to embed sustainability in operations, much like financial processes are. "With modest extension to existing processes, one can incorporate sustainability impact into the standard process," explains Jon Chorley, chief sustainability officer of Oracle Corporation. This has many advantages. "With this discipline, we will have traceability to the data source, ability to reconcile information, all without a parallel business process or training of people," Chorley continues.
Facilities play a large role in energy consumption and sustainability practices. Therefore, facilities and building energy management vendors are moving into the ESP market. Because these vendors—Honeywell, Johnson Controls, and Siemens, among others—also provide instrumentation solutions, their ESP solutions can be set up to automate data collection by pulling it directly from facilities or utility providers.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) vendors, such as SAP and Oracle, also provide ESP solutions. Because the ability to collect data from a vast array of sources across the enterprise is critical to this application category, an ERP vendor has extensive experience to contribute.
Vendors focused on governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), as well as environment, health, and safety (EHS), have been making inroads into sustainability as well. In this category, Enablon, Enviance, MetricStream, and IHS are active. By tracking a variety of environmental performance data, they enable users to assess the financial risks a company faces based on environmental resource usage profiles.
Juxtaposed with these vendors are various pure-play startups in sustainability: CarbonView, ENXSUITE, Hara Software, Locus Technologies, Verisae, and others offer ESP solutions to tap into the market for energy tracking and corporate sustainability. Being pureplay companies, their opportunity is to seed new processes for sustainability.
"The net effect [of ESP systems] is providing an enterprise-wide view of their current spend, which I call a transparency-to-results process," Chatterjee says. The results are often visualized on dashboards that bring together sustainability information and put it in the context of business operations, as shown in Figure 2 from Hara Software. Users can establish monthly "maximum emission" goals and can monitor their progress against personal goals for reducing their carbon footprint.
In the market for monitoring structures, ECODE from EcodeOnline.com and Path to Net Zero from Kingspan Insulated Panels are two examples of smartphone applications aimed at sustainability. ECODE provides access to green building resources, including information about products and a carbon footprint calculator that tracks energy usage, such as electricity, oil, automobile gasoline, airline travel, and recycling behavior. Path to Net Zero is a free tool for architects to simulate the process of improving the energy efficiency of buildings.
As sustainability vendors continue to explore ways to use new platforms, such as mobile, the instrumentation will continue to evolve. The proliferation of smart devices at all points along the energy chain will enable businesses to optimize everything from new building plans to employee travel choices that contribute to reducing their carbon footprints.
Figure 2
Example of a dashboard providing sustainability information in the context of business operations.
For many enterprises, an estimated 70 percent of the carbon footprint is in the value chain. Thus, the value chain holds the key to transformational business practices that will impact a company's total footprint. "Real value is created for the full energy value chain by having two-way visibility and collaboration between the supplier and user," explains Pat House, senior vice president of strategy at C3, suggesting that sharing and collaboration within the value chain are essential to improving sustainability performance. Various mechanisms and approaches have emerged to create visibility and feedback in value chains for sustainability.
They include the following:
Although they offer solutions for the enterprise, some ESP vendors concentrate primarily on managing sustainability-related information from the value chain. C3, with its initial focus on the electric energy industry, expects sustainability to be an information-driven transformation of the value chain. "The solution [to sustainability challenges] is … providing an information-driven transformation so that resources can be managed as strategic assets across the entire energy continuum from generation through transmission and distribution to end-user consumption," explains Pat House of C3.
Other vendors, such as Climate Earth and Trucost, bring more of a financial focus to understanding impact from the value chain. In addition to quantifying the environmental impact, they put a price on the impact so that the sustainability performance can be understood in financial terms. Both use environmental databases with profiles or flows of industry sectors or value chain activity to determine their valuation.
Recognizing that the achievement of many sustainability goals requires the cooperation of the supply chain, industry groups are forming to emphasize the information sharing aspect. "Retailers want to know about their suppliers' energy and greenhouse gas emissions, waste generation, the materials they're using, and where those materials are sourced from. Also, each supplier wants similar information of their suppliers, and so on. One of our objectives is to make sure that they have rapid access to accurate information," says Adam Siegel, vice president of sustainability at the Retail Industry Leadership Association, which represents retailers in the United States.
The role of industry groups is to ensure a systematic, collaborative approach to sustainability, preventing duplicated efforts, confusion, and disparate goals. They accomplish such objectives by creating standards, methods, and systems to facilitate the sharing of information. Table 3 shows a sampling of industry organizations that facilitate information sharing and their focus.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) applications constitute another technology sector that has become a primary information source for sustainability efforts. Productbased companies have used LCA tools for nearly two decades, and the tools require expert practitioners trained in the software. LCA tools focus on a particular product and its footprint across the value chain. A key strength of LCA is that it studies whole product systems, which enables businesses to avoid mitigating one environmental impact while exacerbating another. LCA vendors include GaBi Software, EcoScan, SimaPro, and Umberto.
Table 3
Industry groups facilitating information sharing and collaboration in value chains
Table 4
Design tools supporting product design and value chain interactions
As much as 60 percent of a product's environmental footprint is established in the design phase.3 Therefore, some enterprises have chosen to use a design tool to facilitate information sharing and feedback in the value chain. Table 4 shows examples of solutions that create visibility into environmental impact during design.
Nike has created a web-based program it calls the Environmental Apparel Design Tool. (See Figure 3.) The tool helps apparel designers evaluate waste and toxins generation, as well as energy and water consumption in sourced materials and in manufacturing. It makes these issues visible at design time, allowing companies throughout the supply chain to benchmark and measure the environmental footprint of their products, so they can identify areas for improvement and make informed sourcing and product life cycle decisions.
Figure 3
Nike's Environmental Apparel Design Tool
Industry groups, too, can approach sustainability from a design perspective. The Outdoor Industry Association has developed Eco Index, a tool4 that helps companies reduce their environmental impact.
Vendors of CAD/CAM and other design software, such as Autodesk, Dassault Systèmes, and PTC, are working to extend their capabilities into sustainability modeling. These tools will help product design engineers determine carbon footprint, energy consumption, and the impact of raw material selection from sourcing through manufacturing, use, and disposal.
Although internal resource management and energy-conscious business decisions will continue to be areas where companies use technology to contribute to sustainability efforts, the real impact will need to be at the value chain level. PwC expects the technology offerings to mature during the next several years as companies search for the best way to involve their trading partners upstream and downstream in sustainability efforts.
To successfully implement a sustainability strategy, IT organizations also need to focus on the technologies and tools that enable different stakeholders (employees, consultants, business partners, government agencies, and more) to obtain and analyze sustainability data. Sustainability reporting should make a clear link between corporate financial reporting and corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives.
Reporting provides feedback in a closedloop system. "Sustainability is not a separate thing; it is integrated into the strategy," says Tom Sedory, IT director of strategy and sustainability at Nike. "Reporting is critical in that it gives an opportunity to pause, gain insights, and learn to drive our strategy."
Sustainability reporting comes in different forms. For example, most ESP solutions have modules for generating sustainability and regulatory reports. However, organizations may also want to consider a range of diverse sustainability reporting standards, or take advantage of solutions from software vendors that focus primarily on the generation of Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL)-based, standards-oriented reports.
What constitutes a sustainability report depends on the audience and on the standards or expectations the report must address. Currently, there is no mandatory single standard for sustainability reporting. Instead, a range of standards from industry organizations or governmental agencies define different types of reports. In many cases, sustainability reports will be used in conjunction with traditional financial or investor reports. Table 5 provides perspective on some of the major standards.
Sustainability reporting standards will continue to evolve. However, organizations will want to monitor the progress of standards from organizations such as Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Ceres, which may have the largest overall impact. GRI is widely regarded as a defacto standard. While an increasing number of enterprises are releasing sustainability reports, over the long term the trend is toward integrated reports, also called triple bottom line. Integrated reports bring together economic, environmental, and social impact information in a single financial report. In May 2011, PUMA released the first environmental profit and loss (P&L) statement that provides environmental impact in financial terms. The company plans to release a social P&L later in 2011.
In addition to various sustainability standards, organizations may also consider turning to XBRL and XBRLbased reporting applications. XBRL is a flexible business reporting language and open standard for communicating business information. Based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML), XBRL is developed by XBRL International, which includes organizations and government agencies.
While XBRL is a collection of open standards and specifications, several software vendors now provide XBRL-based reporting applications for a range of uses, from financial and US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings to economic policymaking. To date, XBRL has frequently been applied to financial information, yet global initiatives are extending it to nonfinancial areas such as sustainability reporting.
With the need for collecting, sharing, and analyzing information across value chains and different potential user populations, XBRL is a strong fit for sustainability-oriented reporting, including requirements such as triple bottom line reporting. From an industry perspective, this market is still maturing, with no clear leader.
One way XBRL supports sustainability is through specific taxonomies that define how data is reported. For example, the GRI has created a GRI taxonomy for XBRL that incorporates the GRI Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, while the Spanish Association of Accounting and Business Administration has released an XBRL taxonomy for social responsibility scorecards.
Table 5
A sampling of sustainability management and reporting standards
Rivet Software is one example of a vendor providing XBRL reporting solutions that can support sustainability requirements. Sustainability data collected throughout an organization or by other applications can be mapped into an XBRL taxonomy and exported into an XBRL reporting solution, such as Rivet's Crossfire. Putting sustainability data into XBRL can make it possible to integrate different sets of data, such as GRI Indicator data with SEC GAAP data. This integration enables users to drill down and across different data sets to analyze and understand correlations.
While many organizations consider XBRL reporting solutions a baseline for financial reporting, such solutions can also pay off in other types of reporting. Future development of XBRL solutions and increased refinement and use of sustainability-oriented XBRL taxonomies such as GRI's will simplify the use of sustainability metrics, processes, and practices.
The role of technology is to create visibility into the consumption of environmental and social resources so enterprises can engage with the information to transform products, processes, and related practices to optimize resource consumption and embed sustainability sensitivities in ongoing operations.
Emerging technologies span the information life cycle from instrumentation to the management of the enterprise footprint and through the management of the value chain impact and reporting. As enterprises continue to strive toward integrated reports that include the triple bottom line, they will need to rely on these developing technologies to achieve sustainability goals.
The proliferation of smart devices will drive instrumentation that supports the capture and surfacing of data about resources such as energy, water, and wood. ESP systems will continue to provide the enterprise-level systems for this information, helping to turn it into actionable, strategic data that can lead to dynamic business decisions. These ESP solutions will also link to and eventually support the management of value chain sustainability efforts, in which companies move away from information silos and toward a flow that supports the cradle-to-cradle nature of the product life cycle.
PwC expects forward-thinking organizations to continue to drive sustainability initiatives across the value chain, whether through industry groups, trade associations, or within a specific value chain. Technologies such as life cycle analysis, design tools, and XBRL reporting will continue to support these efforts. Eventually, these technologies will coalesce into a streamlined methodology for surfacing, capturing, measuring, tracking, and optimizing resource consumption patterns across industries. At that point, the promised benefits of sustainability can finally be realized.

Hello folks Big Rub is in the PM area living life. Fishing has been really good. Looking forward to the winter. Them big sows are calling my name.
Saturday's fishing was killer. The early morning started off really slow but by mid morning the bite was on. We used Brown Lure Dk Straw/wht tail with 1/8oz tru loc jig heads. This is the lure I call the Laguna killer. Anyway, he hammered the trout. We released over a half dozen trout in the 26in plus range, one of them was right at 28in. We also caught a bunch of trout in the 15 to 22in bracket. Stringers were full pretty quick. A hand full of nice reds were caught as well. These reds were tournament grade 27 3/4 and weighting just a little under 9lbs.
I do have pics to post up which will be up sometime today. If you have any questions please give me a call 832-385-1431.

The essence of green power marketing is to provide market-based choices for electricity consumers to purchase power from environmentally preferred sources. The term "green power" is used to define power generated from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, geothermal, hydropower and various forms of biomass. Green power marketing has the potential to expand domestic markets for renewable energy technologies by fostering greater availability of renewable electric service options in retail markets. Although renewable energy development has traditionally been limited by cost considerations, customer choice allows consumer preferences for cleaner energy sources to be reflected in market transactions. In survey after survey, customers have expressed a preference and willingness to pay more, if necessary, for cleaner energy sources. You can find more information about purchase options on our "Buying Green Power" page.
Green pricing is an optional utility service that allows customers an opportunity to support a greater level of utility company investment in renewable energy technologies. Participating customers pay a premium on their electric bill to cover the incremental cost of the additional renewable energy. As of the end of 2014, nearly 850 utilities across the nation, including investor-owned, municipal utilities, and cooperatives, offer a green pricing option.
The more general concept of green power marketing refers to selling green power in competitive markets, in which multiple suppliers and service offerings exist. Electricity markets are now fully or partially open to competition in more than a dozen states. Competitive marketers offer green power to retail or wholesale customers in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Texas.
Whether or not they have access to green power through their local utility or a competitive electricity marketer, consumers can purchase renewable energy certificates or RECs. RECs represent the environmental attributes of the power produced from renewable energy projects and can be sold separately from the physical electricity. Customers can buy RECs without having to switch electricity suppliers.
A number of activities help address product credibility, such as green power certification and the development of advertising and marketing guidelines. The Federal Trade Commission has updated its guidance on green claims, providing clarity to marketers making a renewable energy claim.
Additionally, community choice aggregation is a state policy that enables local governments to aggregate electricity demand within their jurisdictions in order to procure alternative energy supplies while maintaining the existing electricity provider for transmission and distribution services.
We hope that you find the Green Power Network to be a useful resource. Please contact the Webmaster with questions or comments.

7:58 p.m.: And that's a wrap. Interestingly, no details on a launch date, compatible wireless carriers or price.
7:56 p.m.: The S4 will include built-in health software that can track heart rate, body fat or other fitness needs.
7:55 p.m.: Bidan talking about Smart Scroll and Pause, which automatically pauses video when you turn away, and restarts when you look back at the screen. Users can tilt the screen up or down to scroll through text. There's also a separate feature allowing users to answer the phone by waving their hand over the screen.
7:52 p.m.: Group Play also supports multiplayer games, which sounds very promising. Moving to ChatOn, which adds Video Chat for up to three people by using both the front and rear cameras. Users can also share screens.
7:50 p.m.: Shifting to Group Play, which allows users to share songs and play them on as many as eight other S4 phones. It looks like users can do this by simply tapping phones. Of course, that means another dance number!
7:48 p.m.: Bidan offering a peek at Samsung Hub, the S4's equivalent of iTunes before diving into Samsung Knox, security software built into the phone. The technology splits your phone into home and work spaces, and keeps them separate.
7:46 p.m.: Samsung demonstrating S Voice Drive, which is the S4's answer to Apple's Siri. Users can have the phone read emails back, and even reply or forward messages. In another demo, the host answers a call by simply saying "Answer."
7:44 p.m.: Bidan talks about switching content from older phones to the S4. Users can download Samsung Smart Switch to their PC to transfer contacts and other data easily from almost any phone to S4.
7:42 p.m.: Bidan discusses HomeSync, a home device that connects to the cloud for storage. It can hold up to 1 TB of data, and supports near field communication, so users can tap the S4 on the HomeSync to view their content.
7:40 p.m.: The S4 features Story Album, which lets users package photos into a dynamic album with text. Users can also create and send hard copies of the album. They will cost $10-$30 with shipping. Images can be displayed either in portrait and landscape modes.
7:38 p.m.: Another cool feature: Adapt Display. The screen will adjust brightness, saturation and other elements based on what you're viewing, whether it's video, email or a game.
737 p.m.: Samsung now showing off S Translator, which is amazing. One user speaks in English, and the phone translates and asks the question in Chinese. Another user responds in Chinese and the phone displays it in text form in English. Several languages are supported such as French, Spanish and Japanese, and it's integrated into other apps. More than 3,000 embedded "useful" sentences are available, says Bidan, in case you don't have a wireless connection.
7:34 p.m.: There's a reason for the dance routine: showing off Drama Shot. The camera can take up to 100 shots in four seconds, and creates a collage in one frame. There's also the very cool Eraser, which lets users delete bits of the background for a cleaner view.
7:32 p.m.: Now the Samsung messenger is tap dancing. Not making this up.
7:31 p.m.: The dual camera also works with photos, capturing one with each camera at the same time. Users can also add audio to images. Very interesting. The camera includes a variety of filters they can implement.
7:30 p.m.: And this is where the event turns into a Broadway presentation. They are in Radio City Music Hall, after all. Bidan breaking down the dual camera, where users can shoot videos with both cameras simultaneously. Wow.
7:27 p.m.: The S4 will come built with 16 GB of storage with options for 32 GB or 64 GB. It also includes a micro-SD slot for up to an extra 64 GB. It also includes a removable battery.
7:26 p.m.: S4 includes usual bells and whistles such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The 4G network includes 100 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload speeds. There's also very little surrounding that screen, which looks gorgeous. The main camera is 13 megapixel, while the front is 2 megapixel, says Bidan.
7:24 p.m.: Ryan Bidan of Samsung Marketing on stage to describe features. It's 5.3 inches long by 2.7 inches wide. Full 5-inch screen, full HD, super AMOLED screen.
7:21 p.m.: A slide on the big screen calls the S4 a "life companion." Shin says it's slimmer, lighter and more solid, and supports 3G and 4G.
7:19 p.m.: "For each of us, life is a journey," says Shin. "What we want is a device that can join us in our journey." Shin then confirms what we all expected: the Samsung Galaxy S4.
7:18 p.m.: Shin mentions Samsung Knox, which focuses on providing security for enterprise purposes. Also noted, HomeSync for "seamless" sharing between devices.

"I love these flats! They are so different and edgy. I did not want to go for a typical ballet flat, and these were so perfect for what I was looking for. Great with jeans or a dressy outfit!"

Super cute and sleek!
"I'm always a size 6 shoe. I listened to the reviews and ordered a complete size up- 7. The 7 fits perfectly like how most size 6 shoes fit me. Despite having to size up, it's a great shoe. It's kind of squeaky when you walk but I don't mind. Other than that, it doesn't chafe or hurt my feet. I've gotten tons of compliments already and the pointed toe makes it look more dressy than casual."

Cute, but runs a size short.
"I bought the blue version of these shoes online, they were super cute, but they were way too small, I'm a 6.5 and there was no way I could even break these in. I just returned these to the store since it seemed like they were just going to sit in my closet if I didn't."

"The spikes were a bit bulkier than what I expected. The shoes squeak against my toe nails. And the tan color is more of a mustard yellow. But besides that they are cool looking."

I'm pretty sure the same person who invented turkey bacon invented rice crust for pizza
Rice crust sounds intriguing!
My favourite (Pizza Hut) crust is the one with cheese running throughout – it's amaaaa-zing!ReplyCancel
Off topic bitch session!
I need to get this off my chest. Thanks for listening!
I sit here working in one room with 2 other people. It can be loud because we are in a tight space out in the open.
My coworker:
1. Screams when she's on the phone and talks louder when the other person on the phone tries to interrupt her.
2. Pops and smacks her gum like a dang teenager
3. is passive aggressive and never lets my other coworker finish her sentence when she is talking to her.
4. she's full of intense energy and she makes me anxious.
5. she eats while she is talking on the phone.
AARG!!!!!! I feel better now, sort of.ReplyCancel
Yuck. Let's change the topic… Celebrities who resemble vegetables? Hollywood personality you'd most like to flatten like a pancake? Favorite actor/actress on whom you'd like to slather some food item?ReplyCancel
Sorry, Sugar, that wasn't directed at you!ReplyCancel
I suggest you flatten her like a pancake.ReplyCancel
Oooh Sugar that is VERY annoying!
Can you wear headphones to block her out? If so, invest in some …
And put a screen up so you can't see her … if not a free-standing screen, then a very large plant …
Sometimes people are a product of their environments … if you start instilling a zen-like space (create a desktop sand garden; tell her to be quiet so you can meditate at certain times throughout the day; drink lots of herbal tea (or, if you don't like it, leave it to soak so the fragrance fills the air).
If this all fails, you could have a quiet word to her and say that "someone" has confided in you that several people in the office find her behaviour very annoying … mean, I know, but that might have to be what you do.ReplyCancel
Does it seem like there are a lot of new people here since the New Year's reveals? Also, how do I change my darn name on here?ReplyCancel
@Jenny Ferrall – you just click on your name, on the post you just made, and it will take you to your profile where you can change whatever you like.ReplyCancel
@CocoBeachBunny – Emma Thompson reminds me of garlic or a turnip. I'd like to squish her and Amy Adams like a pancake – oh, and the Kartrashians, Seacrest and the Houghs.ReplyCancel
My office is fairly secluded, but there's one guy who whistles everytime he walks through. Aaaaggghhh, I hate whistling and isn't whistling indoors bad luck??ReplyCancel
U sound like a beta to her alpha.
U r alpha HERE. Channel your Gawd given sense of fun and ridiculousness to combat her energy. Figure it out, sugar! For goodness sakes SHUT HER DOWN! That space needs to b filled with your energy.
…and let us know how it goes.
You crack me up, Fancy. It just feels good to BITCH! And she acts all proper and like she's a professional but in honesty, anyone who eats while talking on the phone is just all colors of wrong. She doesn't take feedback well and I'm blunt as hell so it's tricky.ReplyCancel
@califblondy – for those in Estonia it is. And it will be for you to if you believe it is bad luck; but if you don't then it isn't. These superstitions are only valid if you believe in them. Tell him to please be quiet as people are complaining.ReplyCancel
@Ware Cat – no; but will do so this afternoon when it gets uploaded to the web.
Don't tell me what happened! 🙂
I loathe that stupid Carlton Gebbia woman – not only does she not fit in, but she doesn't like anyone (except Brandi) and rarely goes to anything.ReplyCancel
I wish I could help, Sugar, but my co-workers are still at the steal-toys-from-each-other and scream alla time stages. Also lots of bum-bum talk. I can suggest time-outs, never ending repetition a la "put that down! No, that! Down! I said put that down! Yes, that" and then teeth grinding and finally speaking in tongues and frothing. Use it! It's yours!ReplyCancel
@Jenny, you're logged on as a Google+ account; sign up for blogger with your gmail account. Then you'll be able to edit that profile name to whatever you like as Stepforded said. I don't think you can edit your Google+ name unless you change your settings within Google/Gmail.ReplyCancel

Just venting, got it.
That sounds like a perfectly rational reponse in the work place. Unemployed much?ReplyCancel
Oh, your flirting again. U sound like a real sweetie. Kids go to school, remember? – its called an EDUCATION to become something in life. But I guess being a foul wretch is working out great for you, so…carry on 😉ReplyCancel
Not so much Eros. I have an office and the loud ass b!tch 2 offices down can be heard loud and clear, even with my door closed. She puts all of her calls (personal & business) on speaker phone.ReplyCancel
I eat turkey bacon for the lower calories and cholesterol intake. It doesn't taste as bad as it used to because they spice it up a bit but its pretty unchewable because of no fat which is its entire point.
As far as office etiiqueete every job workplace has their King or Queen Shit and you just have to learn to deal with them.ReplyCancel
Exactly. Some people didn't get the memo that it is rude in a work environment to b all over the place. U can't just let your personality go Willy nilly. With so many people in an enclosed area someone is bound to get annoyed at your foot loose and fancy free approach to working.
Ugh, noisy chewers are THE WORST!!! Especially poppin' & snappin' on gum. I'm getting uptight just thinking about it!ReplyCancel
Lmao! Wow im not the only person suffering from that? Thats why im laughing. Me and a guy I work with were about to reign wwiii in here because the loud mofos were doing the same thing. Speakerphone meetings for over an hour yelling and even with the doors closed you could hear everything. That is so effin rude when there are plenty of conference rooms for people to conduct meetings. They have gotten better thank goodness..ReplyCancel
Well, I like turkey bacon.ReplyCancel

Canada earns second win over Costa Rica in sitting volleyball at Defi Sportif
MONTREAL – José Rebelo of Montreal provided a great service to Team Canada on Saturday in a 25-18, 25-14, 19-25, 25-12 victory over Costa Rica in men's sitting volleyball at the Défi Sportif multi sport event for athletes with a disability.
Both squads are preparing for the Para PanAm Games and Paralympic qualification in Guadalajara, Mexico this November.
Rebelo served a seven point scoring run in the second set which included back-to-back aces and finished the match with nine services and only one error. Doug Learoyd also had a strong match which included back to back kills to seal the second set.
Brad Quast of Edmonton ended the match with a service ace in the fourth set.
"The overall execution was much crisper tonight than last night,'' said Canada's head coach Ian Halliday. ''We are however still relying too heavily on our serve to generate our points and need to make less unforced errors in the other aspects of our game".
The two countries square off again on Sunday. This is the first time sitting volleyball is on the Défi Sportif program.
Canada's Roster for this event:
Head Coach: Ian Halliday (Calgary, AB)
Assistant Coach: Ray Sewell (Toronto, ON)
Therapist: Hilary Beck (Calgary, AB)
Athletes: José Rebelo (Montreal, QC), Jason Quast (Toronto, ON), Doug Learoyd (Calgary, AB), Mikael Bartholdy (Calgary, AB), Larry Matthew (St. Alberta, AB), Eric Dechaine (St. Lina, AB), Chad Drummond (Edmonton, AB), Brad Quast (Edmonton, AB).

Who should you cheer for now, Leafs fans?
John Lofranco
March 29 2012 08:10AM
I have a theory about alternate universes. It's sort of a combination of Stephen Hawking and Steven King. The short version is that they exist, and chances are, somewhere in one of them, the Leafs are going to win the Cup this year. In fact, there are so many alternate universes out there (10 to the power of 500, which is a lot), that there's probably a universe in which the Leafs have Jessica Alba as an owner, a Russian midget as a coach, and they manage to win the Cup.
But whether scientifically possible or not, it's just fantasy for us here in this universe. Hard times, my friends, hard times are upon us. The Leafs were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs on Tuesday, to a chorus of boos from an empty Air Canada Centre. For the many fans either staying home or expressing their displeasure, the hockey season is done, and their schedules have opened up significantly. But some of us are hockey fans, too, and despite the pain it first may cause, will follow the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I don't know about you, but I am one of those fans. Still, it is hard for me to watch without naturally picking a side. So every year (it's becoming a sad tradition), I've picked a team to follow, and hope they go all the way, if only for the pleasure of saying I was right. Two years ago, I got it right with Chicago. To find out who I'm picking this year, click over the jump!
I'm picking the St. Louis Blues.
First I'm picking them because they are good and might actually win. If I'm going to follow (not cheer for, let's not get crazy) another team, they better be good. According to Broad Street Hockey, their Score Adjusted Fenwick is 3rd in the NHL post-trade deadline, which is a good predictor of playoff success. The LA Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins rank higher, but for reasons involving a referee with pretty hair, I won't follow the Kings, and while I do like Crosby, I prefer to pick a Western Conference team.
So the Blues have a good shot at going all the way. What else? I like their make up. They remind me of the Leafs. They are a young team that has grown up together. Guys like Backes, Oshie, Perron, and Pieterangelo have developed in the Blues' system, and after some lean years, the team has exploded to the top of the NHL. So I hope that's what the Leafs can do in a couple of years. I see parallels.
One thing the Blues have that the Leafs lack, however, is goaltending. Oh, but this is where things get sweet. Their goaltending tandem of Brian Elliott and Jaroslav Halak are on absolute fire this year. Who has a .943 save percentage? Brian Elliott, that's who. Halak is "only" .927. Is it because of Ken Hitchcock's system? Well, that didn't help Steve Mason, did it? Even if it's the system more than talent, what makes this sweet is that both goalies are cast-offs from two near and dear NHL friends of ours. Jaroslav Halak was the victim (beneficiary?) of another bad management decision in Montreal (ok, it's not like Carey Price is horrible--.917 SV% would look great for the Leafs--but it's still funny), when they shipped him to St. Louis for Lars Eller. Lol@Habs.
Elliott, on the other hand, is a revelation. After four seasons hovering at or below .900 with the Ottawa Senators, the SNES moved him to Colorado, after which he moved on to St. Louis. While I have said here before that Ottawa is not Toronto's "rival" I will say that I like to see them fail, and if that makes them a rival, well, for selfish reasons I will admit to their being so.
But it's not just former Habs and Sens succeeding that makes me like this team. There are former Leafs on board as well. This may seem problematic given my last reasons, but hear me out. When Alex Steen and Carlo Colaiacovo were moved to the Blues for Lee Stempniak, it was one of those trades where you just knew it was going to come back and bite the Leafs in the ass. Stempniak was mediocre at best here, traded himself at the deadline, and then proceeded to light it up for Phoenix in the last part of the season. Steen seemed to be floundering in Toronto and Colaiacovo was injured all the time. If I like a player, I will usually keep liking him, even if he goes to another team. So while Steen and Colaiacovo's success are a reminder of what could have been, had the Leafs been more patient, it does seem that the new regime is willing to build around similar players. So hopefully we see more of this:
But less of this:
Playoff hopes for this season are dead, but Leaf fans can live vicariously though some former friends, and former rivals while pondering the question: is there hope for the future? Depending on which universe you live in, definitely.
March 29 2012, 08:27AM
I do love me some Alex Steen. Man I wish he were still around.
I'm cheering for the Blues and the Bruins this year.
if they meet in the finals, I'll be very happy.
March 29 2012, 08:43AM
That would be a great series, but oh man would we hear a lot about a one, Robert Orr.

IUKA – The Tishomingo County Historical and Genealogical Society is offering the community an activity to recognize Sunday as Random Acts of Kindness Day while working to swell its membership ranks.
The group is sponsoring an information search contest for historical information, and the winner will earn an act of genealogical kindness.
"The Society is dedicated to providing genealogical tools and resources and to that end we want to offer a special act of genealogical kindness," said TCHGS board member RaNae Vaughn. "We want to inspire people to practice genealogical kindness."
Contest entries will be placed in a drawing, with the winner announced and contacted Tuesday, and also posted on the group's website at www.tishomingohistory.com. The winner may choose one of three prizes: a photograph of a gravestone in Tishomingo County, a copy of a marriage record in Tishomingo County or receive one hour of research from the historical society's genealogical library on one surname in Tishomingo County.
Two questions are posed in the contest, and entries may be submitted by email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or by phone during Tishomingo County Historical Museum hours 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday at (662) 423-3500. Only entries with correct answers to both questions will be entered. The questions are:
• What year was Tishomingo County formed by the Chickasaw Indian cession of 1832? (The answer is not 1832.)
• In what year was Old Tishomingo County divided to form present-day Alcorn, Prentiss and Tishomingo counties?
The society hopes the building excitement and interest in the contest also will draw more interested individuals to attend Friday's annual meeting at 6 p.m. at the Midway Community Center.
"The society's accomplishments will be highlighted and awards will be presented," Vaughn said.
Photos from the group's latest publication, authored by TCGHS President Cindy Nelson and Vaughn – "Images of America: Tishomingo County" – will be on display at the event, which is being held in the renovated and restored historic Midway Consolidated School Building.
There is no charge, the public is invited, and light refreshments will be served.

Facebook rolled out new ad formats. But the social network has to be careful.
One number stood out yesterday at the Facebook Marketing Conference in New York. 16%. That's the percentage, on average, of content created by friends and brands on the social network that a consumer sees. That number hadn't been mentioned by the social network before. And it's a rather meaningful statistic because it means there are an awful lot of posts—both from retailers and friends—that shoppers aren't seeing.
That number also means that notion of Facebook offering retailers a "free" marketing opportunity is over. Creating a page, monitoring and responding to comments on that page, creating incentives for consumers to interact on the social network, none of that was ever really free in the respect that it required—at a minimum—time from staff that they could be devoting to other efforts. But in terms of a financial outlay, the costs were small.
Even if a retailer used the social network's self-service Marketplace ads, which appear on the right-hand column of pages, the costs could be minimal because Facebook enables brands to finely target specific customer niches, such as women between 30 and 35 who Like the short-lived TV program "The Paul Reiser Show."
But most consumers aren't leaving the news feed, the first page a consumer sees when logging on to Facebook, which means they wouldn't see Marketplace ads. And to get an ad in the right-hand column next to the news feed requires a marketer to work with the Facebook sales team, or an agency, to buy Premium ads. The social network's Premium ad service combines a brand's Page posts with social context—that is, the information that Facebook users reveal about themselves, such as what they Like. For instance, a Premium ad might show that "You and Jim Squires Like the Ides of March," a reference to a movie released last year. Below that interaction is a "Recent Post" heading from the film's page that noted "Rolling Stone calls Ides of March 'A big, bruising thriller,'—Peter Travers" along with a video clip that appeared in the same post on the film's page.
Or, if they really want their ads to be seen, they can work with Facebook's sales team to leverage a new service called Reach Generator, an algorithmic tool that determines the placement of ads across a different locations, such as the news feed on both a computer and mobile device and on the log-out page. Marketers with an undisclosed minimum number of fans can use the Reach Generator to guarantee their ads will be seen by 75% of their fan base each month. But it will cost them.
It's clear from these new ad options that Facebook wants to boost its bottom line by selling more ads. That makes sense, especially since it was clearly leaving money on the table because, until yesterday, it didn't have a single ad format that would be seen by its roughly 425 million active users who access Facebook via a mobile app. And the best way to generate revenue is to attract bigger companies willing and eager to spend more money on the social network.
But Facebook has to walk a delicate line between generating revenue and turning off consumers because of too many ads. Facebook says that because the new ad formats don't look like a traditional ad—they amplify the brand's regular posts—they aren't off-putting. But consumers will be the judge of that, especially if they start to see more posts from Starbucks than from their friends from college. Facebook says that, for now, most consumers will only see about one ad in their news feed per day. But if the ads prove successful, and big marketers want to increase their spend, it will be awfully tempting to increase that number.

Subscribe to Breast Cancer email updates.
A woman's breast is made of glandular tissue, connective tissue, fatty tissue, blood vessels, lymph tissue, and nerves. Each breast contains up to 20 sections of glandular tissue called lobes. Each lobe has many smaller sections called lobules, where milk is made. Milk flows from the lobules through thin tubes called ducts to the nipple. The nipple is the small, raised area at the tip of the breast. The areola is the area of darker-colored skin around the nipple.
Each breast also contains lymph vessels. These are thin tubes that carry lymph to small, bean-shaped glands called lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are found near the breast, under the arm, and throughout the body. Lymph nodes and lymph vessels are part of the lymph system, which helps your body fight disease and infection. The chest muscle and chest wall are behind the breasts.
Cancer is a disease in which cells become abnormal and form more cells in an uncontrolled way. With breast cancer, the cancer begins in the tissues that make up the breasts. The cancer cells may form a mass called a tumor. (Note: Not all tumors are cancer.) They may also invade nearby tissue and spread to lymph nodes and other parts of the body. The most common types of breast cancer are:
With routine screening, breast cancer often can be found at an early stage, before the cancer has spread.

Hello my Friend I hope this note finds you and your loved ones well. The weather in the northeast is turning cooler. The leaves will soon turn into the most beautiful shades of red and yellow. I believe fall to be my favorite season of all.
How I miss my family in Norway , and the coast. Sometimes it feels like my throat closes. And my heart threatens to break. Thank God, I have my daughter, which helps me with the rare but searingly painful moments.
Wow, She just started her Junior year in Highschool and works her first Job. How did this happen?
Time flies, I remember her birth just like it was yesterday.

Hi Heather
Just stopping by to say Hi !. Hope you have a great weekend. I'm going to try and work out in the yard tomorrow and try and see what can be saved of my plants, between the unusual frost and low tempertures and a rogue gopher I lost about 17 bougenvilla, 2 grape plants, and a few other hanging plants. Really depressing. What ever happened to sunny Calif. Can't wait for spring and summer. Were going to a superbowl party Sunday, should be fun. Take care and stay safe.

College Football should look to European Soccer for the answers
by Radio Joe
posted Jun 28 2012 2:04PM
Just a couple of days ago, 12 college presidents came together to reform the college football ranking system. Instead of a computer deciding who's going to the national title game, a committee will decide who the top four teams are in the country, put them into a playoff style format, and see which team comes on top. While I believe this solution is better for college football, it doesn't make everybody involved happy. Seriously, can we trust this committee? Who will it comprise of? Will there be bias? Is it a bunch of ESPN football analysts deciding this? Who knows? In the end, teams like Boise State will get suckered out because their schedule wasn't strong enough.
I've decided to come up with a format of my own. Let me be clear – this is just an idea. Whether you believe this is better or not, is up to you. After all, every great idea always has its pros and cons. I was originally going to put this idea towards the NBA (and I still may do that in a future blog), but when this news broke about the rankings, I figured the system I would put in place here makes way more sense for college football.
There's a lot of detail here, so bare with me.
European soccer has a format like no other. Take England, for example. There are probably 100 soccer teams throughout the country. Between these 100 teams, there are a series of leagues. The top dog league in England is the Premier League. This includes some of the best English soccer teams in the world – ManU, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, etc. There are 20 teams in the Premier league. Throughout the course of the season, these 20 teams square off against each other. Every team plays at home against the other 19 teams, and plays away against those same 19 teams. It's a balanced scheduled, so every team is getting a fair shake. A crappy Premier League team like West Ham United has to play ManU twice, but so does a team like Man City. (The strength of schedule doesn't exist). Again, this format goes for leagues all over Europe – Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, etc.
At the end of the season, the team with the highest point total in the Premier League (based on a points system: you receive 3 points for a victory, 1 for a tie, and 0 for a defeat) wins the Premier League title. There are no playoffs in this situation. (Just a side note, the Premier League and the other English leagues play each other in two bracket style tournament cups throughout the course of the season). Because every team has a fair shake in this league, whoever can overcome their schedule will win it. Man City or ManU does not have any more of an advantage on their schedule, than teams like Reading and Southampton.
Are you guys still with me?
While a champion is crowned in the Premier League, the bottom three teams in the standings are fighting for their lives. As I said earlier, there are multiple 20-team leagues in England. Here's the order of the leagues:
Premier League
N-Power Championship League
League 1
League 2
League 3
There may be more…
The teams that are in these lower level leagues can either move into a higher league at the end of the season, or fall into the league below them next season. How does that work? In order to move up a league, the team must finish in the top three in standings at the end of the season based on point totals. If that team accomplishes that, they advance to a new league, and face a new crop of talent. If they were to play well in that league and finish in the top three there as well, they could move up again!
For example, a team like Brentford who plays in League 1 could theoretically play in the Premier League in two years. All they would have to do is finish in the top three in League 1 at the end of the year, move up to the N-Power Championship League and finish in the top three there, and then get to play with the likes of Man City, Man U, and Arsenal in the Premier League.
However, on the flip side, whoever the bottom three teams are in a particular league at the end of the season, can get bumped down a league. Not only is it competitive at the top of the league standings, but it's also brutal at the bottom. For example, this season in the Premier League, Bolton, Blackburn, and Wolverhampton were trying to avoid finishing the season in the bottom three. In the end, they all failed. Instead of playing in the Premier League next season, they will compete with teams in the N-Power Championship League. If one of those teams played horrible next year in that league, and wound up in the bottom three again, then they would be bumped down to League 1. Hell, if Arsenal had two horrible seasons, they could end up in League 1 too.
Now that you have this in mind, can it work for Division 1-A College Football? I think it can.
While each English League has 20+ teams, there would have to be a smaller amount for football. I would say 15 teams per league. Why? Because it's absurd to have young kids playing in 20+ regular season games throughout a season. They're prone to more injuries than ever before. The NFL doesn't go that far! Besides, it's important that everybody plays each other at least once in the span of a season. Secondly, since there are an odd number of teams, you could still give a bye week for each team. In the end, each team will play the other 14 teams in that league – 7 at home, 7 away. I would do everything possible to make sure that a bad team faces a couple of top 5 teams at home, with the same balance for away games. If you want to challenge the strength of schedule that way, have at it. I don't think it'll make much of a difference.
Let's say the highest league in college football (equivalent to the Premier League) is called the 'Zenzola League'. This league would have the top 15 teams in the country. If we were starting this new league format next year, we could take the top 15 schools from the top 25 list, and throw them into the Zenzola League. The schools ranked 16-25, and those just on the edge would be in the league below that. Then, you could rank schools based on record, and place them in leagues below that. The bad teams will face the bad teams in deeper leagues, and the best of the best will play each other in the higher leagues. Like I said, strength of schedule should no longer be an issue here. If Boise State is in the Zenzola League next season, they can have a serious crack at a national title because their schedule will no longer consist of teams from the Mountain West Division. Rather, they'll face teams like Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma State, etc.
Furthermore, if you're a team not starting the season in the Zenzola League, it will be your job as a school, to fight your way to get there, and then to stay there season in and season out. Remember, if schools battle their way into the top three or fall into the bottom three in a specific league by the end of the season, that is the only way they can move out of the league they're currently in.
This system can work. However, can fans deal with it? Here are some issues…
Are there bowls?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, who says we have do to exactly what the Europeans do in their soccer league? Obviously, the Zenzola League will have the best of the best teams. The top two teams will square off in the National Title game at the end of the regular season. The two teams in 3
and 4
place will square off in the Rose Bowl. The 5
and 6
place teams will face in the Orange Bowl, etc. If there is a tie for first, second, third, etc., the tiebreaker can consist of an accumulation of points the team made in football games (adding all the touchdowns and field goals together). If your team can score 60 points in a single football game, more power to you. Because these teams are in the best of the best league, they should deserve the best bowls. What's the problem with that?
The lower name bowls like the Capital One, Chick-fil-A, Ticket City Bowl, Outback Bowl, etc., would carry over into the leagues below the Zenzola League. After the 3
or 4
league down, teams that low will have no chance at a bowl. It's their job to get out of those deeper leagues as soon as possible. No matter how you slice it, every single Division 1-A football team has a shot at making it to the Zenzola League...at some point...
So no more divisions and rivalries?
That's right. No more Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Big 12, Mountain West, etc. etc. etc. New rivalries can be form based on the league your team is in. Just because rivalries were created out of regional divisions for so many years, doesn't mean that has to stop. You may be stuck with those teams anyway, if you happen to be in the same league.
Are there too many teams in Division 1-A to do this?
Look, if I'm doing my math correctly, there are almost 120 schools in Division 1-A Football alone. If you divide that by 15 teams per league, you'll have 8 leagues. It would look something like this…
1. Zenzola League (Top League)
2. League 1
3. League 2
4. League 3
5. League 4
6. League 5
7. League 6
8. League 7
Like I said before, if this system began next season, teams like Duke, Kansas, Indiana, and Idaho, would find themselves in either League 6 or 7 because these are horrible football programs with horrible records. If they ever want to get to the Zenzola League, they need to get their acts together, and duke it out with some of the worst in the country. Someone will come out in 1
place no matter what, like in League 7, for instance.
I hope my gibberish made some sense here. I wonder if this idea has already been considered…
What do you think? Am I wrong?
Again, follow me on Twitter @RadioJoeZenzola.
In my next blog, 'What I would like to see in return if the Brewers trade Zack Greinke'…
Until next time, Milwaukee…

Pretty helpful site.
Anyone under 30-ish will probably agree that it isn't the easiest thing to read.
Funny story about cursive...My 6th grade English teacher made us write every single assignment we did in cursive. Her exact words were, "All your teachers in high school and all your professors in college will require you to write in cursive, so I will require it as well." Once I was done with 6th grade, I never wrote another thing in cursive (signature aside, obviously).

Life Extension SAMe

The supplements are strongly recommended by my vet for my dog's liver condition. I have been using it for my dog's chronic liver problem. He is reacting well and is able to revert to its normal routine and lifestyle. Well done....SAMe.
Good for sleep, calmness
Posted by Reviewer1846656 on Apr 04, 2011
A friend suggested I try these at bedtime for better sleep. They do help! I find it takes 2 to get a good effect, so you might want to order the 400 mg tabs if your insomnia is stubborn.

Can no longer get this product from Life Extension, as they have discontinued it. Was thrilled to find it at iHerb. Great price and fast shipping. I have ordered several different items from iHerb in the past and have always been pleased. Highly recommended.
Capsule Integrity Issue
Posted by 5360460148479657657 on Feb 04, 2015
The product itself is fine, but I discovered after having this in storage for 12+ months the capsules started to split at their edges and them leaking, had to discard about 1/3 of them in the end. Could possibly have been due to the odd very hot day, combined with how long I had kept them. Will probably still buy the product, given the quality of the brand, just make sure I use them quicker this time, but they obviously just need to improve on the capsule.

Like much of central Tuscany, Prato enjoys a mild climate.
In the spring, temperatures usually range between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit, and the fall is often slightly warmer at 50-70 degrees. Winters are generally cool and rainy, with temperatures ranging between 35 and 50. Summers are usually sunny and hot with most days in the 80s.
Fall, spring and winter tend to get the most rain – and Italy does get a fair amount, which helps keep the country so green! For much of the year, Prato can be quite humid. Snow is not nearly as heavy in Prato as in New England; however, in the winter the temperature will occasionally dip below zero and the city may get a dusting. Likewise, it's not at all unusual for summer highs to reach 100 degrees.
One thing that can surprise students is that Tuscany has mosquitoes for a good part of the year – from the spring through the fall, and not just in the countryside but in the city as well. Luckily, there are a number of products available to keep the mosquitoes at bay, and they can be bought at housewares shops, herbal shops or larger supermarkets: sprays and plug-in repellents work particularly well.
The bottom line: during your semester, you're likely to experience warm and cold days, sunny and rainy days, and everything in between. While the climate here is mild, remember that you will often be outside, traveling on foot around town. See our page called What Should I Bring? for more information on the clothing you'll need.
