The Favorites
Rafael Nadal: The last time the top-ranked Spaniard was in Melbourne, in 2012, he fell to Novak Djokovic in an epic final that lasted nearly six hours. Djokovic hasn't lost a match since the US Open final, but that loss came to an improved Nadal who showed that on court to that of Australia's Rod Laver Arena, he now has the tools to put down the Serbian. Should the 13-time Grand Slam champion win the crown, he will become the first man in the Open era to win all four majors twice. That will move the swaggering lefthander closer to "Greatest of all Time" status.
Serena Williams: The American once ruled Melbourne, winning five titles in a seven-year period from 2003 to 2010. But in the past two years, she suffered ankle injuries, which contributed to her defeats to Ekaterina Makarova and Sloane Stephens. The world No. 1 is highly motivated to win another Slam and tie American legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova with 18 major crowns. Williams, who has been strapping both her ankles as tight as possible, hasn't dropped a contest since early August and is a substantial favorite to dance away from the event with her winning streak intact.
The Defending Champions
Novak Djokovic: The four-time Aussie Open champion is more confident in Melbourne than in any other locale, adjusting to the conditions perfectly and tailoring his game to the medium-speed hard courts. The six-time Grand Slam winner brings out a unique blend of defense and offense and has publicly stated that he wants to recapture the No, 1 ranking from Nadal. Given how driven and solid he is, it will take an extraordinary effort by anyone to knock him off his perch.
Victoria Azarenka: The two-time defending champion broke out at this event in 2012, wiping out Maria Sharapova in the final, and then in 2013 she survived a controversial semifinal over Sloane Stephens and an onslaught by Li Na in the final. Azarenka is the only player over the past season who has shown she can play with Serena on a great day, upending her at 2013 Doha and Cincinnati, but she fell to her in their last two matches, in the 2013 US Open final and the 2014 Brisbane final. The Belarusian can play with Williams off the ground and returns just as well (although not as aggressively), but Williams is mentally tougher and has a substantially better serve, which in the clutch at the majors matters a great deal.
The Contenders
Andy Murray: The other top guys seem to think that the Wimbledon champion can contend for the title, but it's hard to think of any player who has undergone back surgery and come back four months later and won a Grand Slam. The Scot has reached the Aussie Open final three times and is clearly more emotionally settled than he was before he won the 2012 US Open, but he has to prove that he is healthy enough to be able to survive a series of three-out-of-five set matches.
Tomas Berdych: The Australian Open courts appears to be playing a bit faster, which should be an advantage to the attacking Czech, who is in the weakest quarter of the draw that is headed by the slumping David Ferrer. Berdych should reach the semifinals, but his record against his probable final four foe Djokovic is poor, and in order to turn it around, he will have to have a career day.
Maria Sharapova: The 2008 champion is contesting just her second tournament since August due to shoulder trouble. She says she's 100 percent again and looked pretty good in Brisbane, where she went toe-to-toe with Serena Williams in a straight-sets loss. Fortunately for Sharapova, she's not in the same half of the draw as Williams, whom she has lost to 14 times in a row, but on Azarenka's side, whom she has beaten the last two times they faced off. Sharapova may not be able to upend Williams, but reaching another final is within her range.
Li Na: Last year, Li was playing better than anyone coming into the final but took two hard spills in her loss to Azarenka. China's top player says her goal this season is to win her second major (2011 French Open). This has been her most consistent Slam over the years, so if she doesn't panic, she has a real chance to meet her goal in two weeks' time.
The Question Marks
Roger Federer: The 17-time Grand Slam winner has not won an outdoor hard-court tournament since 2012 Cincinnati. He's playing with a new and larger racquet and has a new coach in former US Open champion Stefan Edberg, who was a classic serve and volleyer. The 32-year-old player is still very dangerous on great days, but given his recent record it's hard to see him knocking off the likes of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic to win his fifth Aussie crown, which could very well be his path to the title.
David Ferrer: The scrappy Spaniard has been very dependable and often very good over the past five years, but he said that he played like a junior in his loss to Yen-Hsun Lu in Auckland and has mentioned that it will be a struggle for him to even stay in the Top 10 this season. For a world No. 3, that indicates a ton of doubts.
Samantha Stosur: The former US Open champion has never reached the quarterfinals at her home Slam, and in fact has only advanced to the fourth round twice in 13 appearances. Armed with a vicious kick serve and forehand, Stosur is more than capable on hard courts, but she has to prove that she can play her best with her nation's expectations on her shoulders.
Petra Kvitova: The 2011 Wimbledon champion can best anyone on a great day, but those days are too infrequent at big tournaments. The Czech looks fitter and quicker than last year, but her ball striking is inconsistent, as is her focus. In short, she could win this event, or be gone is flash during the first week.
The Spoilers
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga: The Frenchman says that the only reason he is playing is to win a major and that he is driven to do so. He reached the final in Melbourne back in 2008, blowing out Nadal before losing to Djokovic. His draw in complicated with the likes of former semifinalist Marin Cilic, Federer and Murray in his quarter, but Smokin' Joe can get hot, and if he does, a rematch with Nadal in the semifinals is a possibility.
John Isner: The United States' top-ranked male won six tiebreaks en route to his title run in Auckland last week, which means that he stood tall in the clutch. He is going to need to do so in Melbourne, because he faces a potential third-round match with Philip Kohlschreiber, who took him down at the US Open in 2011 and 2012, but whom Isner edged in three tiebreaks in Auckland. If he gets past the German, Isner might face Wimbledon champion Murray, who returns his massive serve as well as anyone, or possible Feliciano Lopez, who served and volleyed his way past him at the 2013 Australian Open. The 13th-ranked Isner has a very tough road to the quarters, but he is overdue for a final eight appearance in Melbourne
Angelique Kerber: The left-handed German is very hard to figure out: she's a strong athlete, excellent defensive player and is trying to push herself to be more offensive this season. Last week in Sydney, she showed a willingness to take more risks in some matches but backed off in others. If the world No. 9 takes more risks in Melbourne, she has semifinal possibilities, but if she does not it's unlikely she'll make the final eight
Tsvetana Pironkova: The Bulgarian played amazingly well to win Sydney last week, qualifying, winning eight matches and besting three Top 10 players in Sara Errani, Kvitova and Kerber. The former Wimbledon semifinalist has a world-class backhand, a much-improved serve and is brimming with confidence. No one wants to face her now, even though she will enter the event with tired legs.
The Up and Comers
Male players are maturing later than they once did, which is why so few of them have had majors impacts on tour in the past few years. But these four guys age 23 and under all have top 10 potential: Milos Raonic, Grigor Dimitrov, Bernard Tomic and Jerzy Janowicz. The big-serving Raonic and the colorful Dimitrov could meet in the third round, while Aussie sensation Tomic couldn't have had a worse draw as he opens against Nadal. Even though he is rusty as he has just returned from injury, former Wimbledon semifinalist Janowicz may have the best chance to go deep as he's in the David Ferrer's quarter, which is the weakest one.
As per usual, WTA players tend to break out earlier, and there are slew of promising competitors in their early 20s or in their teens including Americans Sloane Stephens and Madison Keys, Romania's Simona Halep, Canada's Eugenie Bouchard, Britain's Laura Robson and Spain's Garbine Muguruza. Keys, Robson and Bouchard, all of whom have practiced together, are in the same quarter. World No. 11 Halep has serious quarterfinals possibilities as she's in the good but beatable Jelena Jankovic's segment. Muguruza, who just won Hobart, has a tricky first round against world No. 24 Kaia Kanepi. Stephens, who reached the semis last year, is having wrist trouble but could get a rematch with the woman who bested her last year in Australia, Victoria Azarenka, in the fourth round in what would be a delicious rematch.

Winners and losers in the NHL CBA negotiations
Graphic Comments
August 14 2012 03:43PM
We don't yet know who will come out on top in the ongoing battle between the billionaires and the millionaires, and undoubtedly there will be winners and losers on both sides. But I'm pretty sure I know who the biggest losers will be.
Today marks the next milestone in the "negotiations" as Donald Fehr and the NHLPA outline their "alternative view" on the NHL's internal economic system. I'm sure that will go over well.
So to prepare you for the inevitable onslaught of analysis and reaction to today's developments, here's a double dose of Graphic Comments on the topic...
First, it's important to understand that today's proposal from the NHLPA is not a counter-proposal, i.e., they aren't suggesting tweaks or modifications within the same framework as the NHL's offer. No, they are going to offer an "alternative view" that represents the "players view of the world."
There's about as much chance of this proposal being accepted as the Curiosity Rover finding life on Mars, but at the very least I would encourage the NHLPA to include some nice full resolution colour images and an upgrade their Twitter account:
And in case you were wondering: Owners are from Venus, players are from Mars, and Bettman is a Klingon from Uranus.
Just how far apart the two sides are on the key issues? Well, as @SkinnyPPPhish so aptly put on Twitter, there may be a ways to go in bridging the two views:
The worst part, of course, is that the solution is banana. Sigh.
But the opposing views are not limited to player salaries and revenue sharing. The recent revelation that Gary Bettman
earned was paid $8 million in 2010-11 is also a matter of dispute, but the two sides have agreed to disagree on the issue:
I'm a bit ambivalent about the positions of the two sides on most of the issues, but I'm pretty sure where I stand on this one.
But my opinion doesn't matter. Not on this issue nor on any other. At least not my opinion on its own. However, as a collective body, the fans could indeed have an impact on the basic underpinning of the NHL's economic system. And make no mistake, at some poing, the party is going to stop:
Of course, neither side thinks it will ever come to that. You never hear them talk about it, but sometimes you get the feeling that there's one deeply held belief that drives the hardline stances on both sides:
And you thought they were miles apart on everything.
August 15 2012, 12:19PM
"and Bettman is a Klingon from Uranus." => Pure gold my friend.

Skip to comments.Warning of Chinese crabs on the march
Posted on 02/08/2006 8:02:32 AM PST by Willie Green
For education and discussion only. Not for commercial use.
THEY are the known as the terminators of the world's waterways,which can devastate entire species of fish and shellfish in a few short months.
Now an exotic Chinese crab which preys on British native species is on the verge of taking over the country's major waterways, environmental experts have warned.
A study showed invading mitten crabs, which can grow to the size of a dinner plate, could threaten other marine life.
Newcastle University researchers have warned there could be a population explosion of the creatures.
The study authors predict the mitten crab so called because its claws are coated with small clumps of dark brown fur, or mittens has the potential to establish itself in all major estuaries in several years time.
Mitten crabs are already present in some British waterways, including the Thames, Humber and Tyne rivers and parts of the North Sea and Channel coasts.
A member of the research team, Dr Matt Bentley, said: "The pattern of the spread in the UK since the 1970s mirrors the spread in mainland Europe and in the Baltic region which experienced a major outbreak.
"This is a fairly good indication that the UK is set for a similar situation."
The study, published in the academic journal Biological Invasions, says a nationwide monitoring and trapping system for the crab should be introduced.
Are they good to eat?
Do they taste good?
Publish recipes. Fish. Set traps.
There's an easy market solution here.
I'm quite sure they taste like crabs.
Anybody want good recipes for crab cakes or crab soup?
Oh this is going to get ugly.
I always wondered if the Chinese had crabs.
wondering the samething, any have some melted butter.
The Brits will boil ANYTHING. Problem solved.
China gave Britian crabs? How embarrassing!
They're a delicacy in China. Time to open a Crab 'n' Chips shop, it sounds like to me.
Do you think penecillin will get rid of them?
I'm guessing that because it is a pest, it tastes bad. That's just how it works. Except for deer. Deer are pests and they taste good.
And cows. I hate the way they crawl around inside the walls and chew on the insulation, but they taste good too.
My thoughts exactly. But, their green look makes me ask is the water clean before we bite.
They're doing the jobs that British crabs won't do.
Yeah, but even though the crabs are the size of a dinner plate, you are hungry again 2 hours later. Maybe that's why the crabs left China's waterways, the wildlife experience the same thing...who knew!
Find a way to turn them into fuel. They'll be delcared an endangered species in no time.
An old fisherman told me about a new species of crab in the waters of New England. Wasn't too clear a story though. Like most old fishermen, he was bombed.
ping. It's the Crab People again!
First-ever Migratory Freshwater Crab in the St. Lawrence River
|Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis)
A Surprising Discovery in the Water of the St. Lawrence River
While conducting sampling activities in the Quebec City area, Yves de Lafontaine, a research scientist at the St. Lawrence Centre, was approached by a fisherman about an unusual catch hed made on September 2, 2004. The strange-looking crab was caught in an eel trap near Lévis (Saint-Romuald), on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, just opposite Quebec City.
The live specimen was identified as a Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis), so called for its hairy claws that resemble paws. According to experts at the St. Lawrence Centre and the Parc Aquarium du Québec, this is a female of approximately one and a half years old, weighing 40 g and with a carapace of 4.6 cm wide. The species is considered one of the 100 most invasive species on the planet.
This is the first sighting of this exotic species in the waters of the St. Lawrence River, although a few individuals were found in the Great Lakes in the 1970s.
Odd Behaviour
The Chinese Mitten Crab is catadromous and therefore requires both fresh and salt water to complete its life cycle and ensure the establishment and maintenance of the population. Adult crabs migrate from fresh water to salt water to reproduce. Following the larval period, juvenile crabs migrate to fresh water, where they grow and mature. The species migrates over distances of up to 500 km in the rivers of Europe and Asia.
The Chinese Mitten Crab is a native of the rivers and estuaries of the Yellow Sea, between China and Korea. It was introduced by accident in Germany in 1912 and has spread to many European countries and, most recently to England. It established itself in San Francisco Bay on the U.S. west coast in 1992. In Canada, its presence was noted for the first time in 1965 in the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario, then in Lake Erie in 1973.
In the Great Lakes, this species is thought to be incapable of establishing itself on a long-term basis because of its catadromous nature. Its presence in the water near Quebec City, however, entails a risk of the population establishing itself in the St. Lawrence River and its estuary. Due to the very invasive nature of this species, the tributaries of the St. Lawrence River and Estuary, including the Saguenay River, are also perceived as areas at risk.
The species burrows into riverbanks, leading to their erosion and collapse. They are also known to block the water intakes in irrigation canals.
Import some of those infected Costa Rican frogs, that ought to fix them.
"Warning of Chinese crabs on the march"
In theaters soon - March of the Crabs, narrated by Morgan Freeman. Next year's documentary Oscar winner.
Hmmmmm. They block intakes. Then power plant operators can get freshly cooked crab for midnight meals by just goign to the outlet water boxes of the condensers!
"I'm guessing that because it is a pest, it tastes bad."
Just looked on WolfGang Puck's site. They taste almost exactly like blue crabs.
The intakes for the Niagara Power authority is 5 miles from me..
"..mitten crabs, which can grow to the size of a dinner plate.."
If I were a crab, that's a comparison that would make me extremely nervous... :)
Now we've got to worry about the Chinese crabs???
Hmmm ... The Brits already have good beer/ale. I'm sure we can sell them a few thousand tonnes of Old Bay Seasoning.
Holy cow! That's the creature that clamped onto the guys face in Alien
Maybe they could be a source for bio-fuel
"The Brits will boil ANYTHING. Problem solved."
Yeah, but they won't use "Zatarain's":
I know the Koreans do...one of my troops had to shave his eyebrows to get rid of 'em!!
Reminds me of my "Young and Wild Days"
Once I thought I had crabs but was wrong.
They Had Me!!!
Mittens?! I'll show you mittens!
The Northern Snakehead, SARS, Bird Flu and Mitten Crab. Is it a coincidence or a subliminal message that there are sneaky and potentially devastating things coming out of China?
The Lunatic Left will figure out some way to make them an endangered species. Anything that's bad for Western Civilization of okay with them.
Don't forget starlings as well.
Some of these critters are being intentionally released by Oriental immigrants. Who should be shot as far as I'm concerned. Read my next post about intentional release of the mitten crab to establish it here

One-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy in Southwest Va.
RUSSELL CO., Va. - One year ago Tuesday, Superstorm Sandy marched up the east coast paralyzing the Northeast, but the remnants of the storms were felt right here in our area.
"It started to snow here very lightly and then it got heavy," said Bonnie Francisco of Lebanon, Va.
Francisco still remembers looking out of her downtown Lebanon store window on the afternoon of Monday October 29, 2012. "We had a big snow," said Francisco.
That snow was from the southern part of Superstorm Sandy.
Russell County, along with other counties in Southwest Virginia, took the brunt of the storm. On that day the Virginia State Police received more than 600 calls from southwest Virginia; 67 of them were crashes.
Appalachian Power reported that 13,000 people in our area had lost power by 6 p.m. 2,700 of those customers were in Russell County alone.
Russell County Emergency Management coordinator Jess Powers told News 5 some of those people ended up at the EMA center. "We had about 58 people here," said Jess Powers.
It was a lot of people for an unanticipated and widespread event, but this year they are ready for whatever comes their way.
Powers took us back to the storage room where they have cots and clothes, because they know that winter is on the way and they don't want to be caught by surprise.
He tells News 5 that they even prepared for specific health needs of their residents. "When the power goes out a lot of people in this area are mining or they have COPD, they have some kind of chronic pulmonary problem and they need supplied oxygen. We have supplied oxygen here in stored takes already ready to go," said Powers.
Even though the sun is shining today, Francisco is ready for whatever happens tomorrow, while always remembering last year. "I'll never forget this," she said.

wning a house on a corner lot sometimes creates a landscaping challenge for a homeowner. Lewie and Robin Pitts of 1329 Somerset Drive stepped up to that challenge, creating a beautiful view from all three easily-visible sides of their yard.
Janesta Williams of Green Gardeners Garden Club and Cecile Flanders of the Lancaster Garden Club enjoyed the view so much they selected the Pitts as the winners of the September Yard of the Month.
An inviting front porch and yard filled with an assortment of blooms and foliage at the home of Tony and Nancy Snipes caught the attention of Sara Phillips, Leaf & Petal Garden Club member. She selected their home, at 1970 Robert H. Kirk Road, as the August Yard of the Month.
"From the white crepe myrtles that frame the driveway to the front plantings highlighting the front porch, this yard is well kept and full of color," Phillips said.

Southeast Asian Farmers and NRCS Building Capacity Together in California's Central Valley
By Lisa A. Hokholt, NRCS California State Outreach Coordinator
California's Central Valley has long lured farmers to its fertile soil and generous growing season. It's no surprise that Southeast Asian farmers are settling there too, bringing their farming and culinary cultures with them.
Conservation of soil, water and air might have been way down their priority list if not for assistance from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). For years now, NRCS has strived to insure that Hmong farmers have the same level of access to its technical services and programs as other clients. Two recent events helped NRCS build its service delivery capacity while also strengthening the conservation capacity of the Hmong farming community.
The Second Annual Hmong American Farmers (NHAF) National Conference, held in Fresno, California in May, showcased successes and provided a forum to discuss challenges facing Hmong farmers. The Clean Air Farming Workshop, held in June at a Hmong-owned farm in Del Rey, California presented technical information — in the Southeast Asian languages of Hmong, Lao, and Khmer (as well as Spanish and English) — about farming practices that reduce harmful air pollutants. Both events were designed to bolster awareness, enhance technical skills, exchange information, identify needs, build and strengthen effective partnerships, provide leadership, and offer fellowship.
Farmers at the NHAF Conference expressed to USDA agency reps that processes required by some federal programs are currently too complicated. On the other hand, NRCS and its sister agencies had opportunities to explain how specific programs work and to help identify and match programs to farmers' needs. This exchange of information will help NRCS modify assistance and processes accordingly, and local farmers gained a better understanding of how to participate in Farm Bill programs.
The Clean Air Farming Workshop, organized and sponsored by NRCS and several partners, showcased specialized equipment suitable for small farm applications and information about on-farm conservation practices that reduce harmful air pollution sources such as volatile pesticides, soil erosion by wind, and diesel exhaust emissions. Five stations with different learning topics were set up among the farm's Asian vegetable crops and participants were divided into different language groups. As the language groups went from topic to topic, so did translators who facilitated the learning process. The small groups enabled presenters to focus on farmers' specific interests and needs.
California NRCS' strategy to assist Hmong farmers has included hiring native Hmong speakers as technical field staff, supporting field workshops and demonstration projects, producing Hmong-language informational materials, supporting Hmong radio programming, and working with partners such as local University of California Farm Advisors who share a similar commitment to working with new client groups.
Hmong farmers participate in the Clean Air Farming Workshop at Cherta Farms owned by Txexa Lee (center, in white hat) in Del Rey, California, where air quality concerns impact human health and choice of farming practices.
Clean Air Farming Workshop Participants were able to sign up for continuing education credits – a requirement to maintain pest control advisor and other certifications.

Here are some other fun and yummy variations to try.
Use 1/3 cup white chocolate chips, 12 caramel squares, chopped and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts.
Use 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips, 4 crumbled graham crackers, and 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows.
Use 1/3 cup white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts and 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream. Amazing!
If you are a real chocolate lover you can add some extra chocolate chips on top of the crisp, as well as in the mix.
Prefer milk chocolate chips? Use 1/2 cup because they're sweeter than the dark.

Great Boat Shoe

"I bought these shoes for my boyfriend. When the first five finger shoes he wanted a pair, but after reading a lot of reviews and complaints on the smell on them, decided to postpone the purchase. Then these came out. He immediately fell in love with the combination of color and the sole. He said these actually improve his performance. They are a bit difficult to put on because the top opening is a bit narrow for his wide feet, but the problem was fixed after filling them with socks one night. They do make his feet a bit sweaty so he has to wear special foot deodorant and talc. In general he said he loves them, and would gladly buy another pair, because the 4-toe design is amazingly comfortable. It did take him some time to get used to a piece of fabric getting stuck between his toes. They sell socks for these shoes with toes also but he found them uncomfortable because they added to much space between his toes. They are also super light."

great fit & eye catching too
"I always look for the best fit shoes due to my extra wide "duck feet". These skele-toes are wonderful for walking, gym, aerobics and just for everyday wear. Just a little hint as to the best way to get your toes into the correct toe slot: I find if you put a finger in between the shoe's toes they go on easier and unlike the "other" company's toe shoes they don't require a loan to pay for them, most places seem to have a better variety of colors, plus- having the 4th and 5th toe together saves breaking them less due to their strength working as ONE toe. Love them so much had to have a pair for every activity! PLUS, you'll get asked, "Where did you get those?"."

Canadian national team player Nicholas Cundy helps Cannes to first victory in Champions League
OTTAWA- Canadian national team member Nicholas Cundy of Edmonton led all scorers with 23 points to leads AS Cannes (France) to its first victory this season in Champions League men's volleyball play in a five-set victory over CSKA Bulgaria.
The Champions League is a 24-team tournament to determine the top pro club in Europe. The top-two teams from each of the six pools after round robin play gain an automatic berth in the second round.
Cannes, which had dropped its first four matches, overcame a 1-2 deficit to win 20-25, 25-19, 22-25, 25-15, 16-14 in a match that lasted nearly two hours.
''We didn't want to go the season without a win,'' said Cundy, a seven-year national team veteran. ''We have been on a bad skid the last two months. It was important to know that we are still good, and that we should be winning more game. Personally, I felt like I finally put a more complete game together. I passed well, spiked okay, and served really well.''
Fred Winters of Victoria (in photo) was one of three players with Friedrichshafen to notch 13 points as the German club defeated Zalau (Romania) 25-23, 25-21, 25-22. It was a second victory this season for Friedrichshafen.
Meanwhile ACH Bled (Slovenia) with two Canadian national team players in the line-lost a five-set thriller to Budva (Montenegro) 25-22, 21-25, 25-17, 15-25, 15-12. Libero Dan Lewis of Oakville, Ont., and rookie Adam Simac of Ottawa are on the Bled squad.
It was the first loss this season for Bled, Champions League finalists last year, which stand first this year in the Pool C standings at 4-1.
Round robin action ends next week.

Trivial Pursuit time: How many presidential tickets have lost their home states?
We'll provide the answer shortly, but the point of this is to note that Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are the first ticket since 1972 that failed to carry their home states.
It was widely expected that Romney would lose reliably blue Massachusetts, which has only voted four times since 1928 for a GOP presidential nominee. That was twice for Dwight Eisenhower and twice for Ronald Reagan.
Wisconsin, of course, is a different story. Ryan's home state was a hotly contested battleground, made even more so by Republican gains in statewide offices and Congress. Plus, there was the matter of GOP Gov. Scott Walker's ability to beat back a recall effort this year.
Obama won Wisconsin last week by about 7 percentage points. Ryan told WISC-TV this week he was disappointed he and Romney didn't win the Badger State.
"We had hoped to win Wisconsin, fought hard for Wisconsin," Ryan said in the TV interview. "We cut the president's lead in half, but nevertheless it wasn't enough."
So what's the answer to our trivia question? Smart Politics, the blog at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs, says there have been 20 instances in which the presidential and VP candidates on a ticket failed to carry their home states.
In 1972, the last time it happened, George McGovern came close but didn''t carry South Dakota in his blow-out loss to Richard Nixon. McGovern lost running mate Sargent Shriver's home state of Maryland by nearly 24 points.

sticks with taste
Like em alot :3
PEG-6 = Polyethylene Glycol
Posted by 4696664092509703217 on Feb 01, 2014
I was so disappointed when I saw the ingredient PEG-6 listed first and discovered it's short for Polyethylene Glycol. Not something I would recommend ingesting. Really annoyed cause these taste great! Choose the tea tree version of these sticks instead of cinnamon as those don't have PEG-6 listed as an ingredient.

Posted by ShokoFlomel on May 06, 2014
Oh, it is not a product for those who can't stand spicy and hot ingredients. It burns the tongue and makes eyes water. One end is sharp and you may hurt yourself. Although, I should admit that your breathing is fresh after it. Жжет язык безбожно. Прям слезы на глаза наворачиваются, вот так пробирает. Острым концом можно поцарапать рот, но освежает дыхание хорошо, тут ничего не могу сказать.

Since 1960, Waldlaufer has been producing incredibly comfortable, easy-to-fit, handcrafted footwear that is entirely produced in Europe. The company was founded by Gunter Bauer, who had a passion for the outdoors. Waldlaufer actually means "Forest Walker," and these shoes are superb choices for all-around use. Using the highest quality European materials but with affordable prices, these shoes are actually a superb value. Featuring outstanding shock absorption, extra volume in the toe box, very little weight, and a removable footbed, Waldlaufer shoes are perfect for casual everyday wear.
Waldlaufer Shoes contain an extremely light, air-cushioned sole. Since each shoe contains a removable insole, you can always insert custom orthotics if necessary. Depending on the shoe, the insole includes a thick cork footbed with orthopedic properties, or a pro active footbed containing massage characteristics.
The biggest difference between Waldlaufer shoes and other brands is in the shape of the shoes. They are designed to provide extra volume in the toe box, while retaining a narrower heel. This produces a narrower than normal midfoot fitting, yet run slightly wider than most medium widths. Along with the superb arch and metatarsal support, these properties make Waldlaufer shoes a fashionable, comfortable investment for every woman.

Mike Selwood, Assistant Boat Manager, National Maritime Museum Cornwall
In September 2013, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall was approached by the British Museum and asked if we would produce something Viking to be filmed for their Vikings Live cinema broadcast, after seeing the Bronze Age boat replica that we had built and launched in March 2013.
Of course, we said yes. After plenty of chats with Gareth Williams, the curator of the BP exhibition Vikings: life and legend and Patricia Wheatley, Executive Producer of Vikings Live, our boat restoration team started to build the stem section of a Viking-style boat, to be constructed using traditional methods.
I was to manage the project, with my team of boat crew volunteers and boat-builder Brian Cumby, who had built the Bronze Age boat. The stem section was approximately sixteen feet long, eight feet beam (width) and about 12 feet at its highest, to be surmounted with a Viking dragon's head. The section is equivalent to about 25% of a boat that we are planning to build next year as a feature of our Viking Voyagers exhibition in 2015.
Having assembled the team, I had to source the materials. There was no time to make nails, so they came off the shelf as galvanised Scandinavian boat nails with square roves made by our local blacksmith. The keel and stem post were to be oak, and we decided to plank in Cornish larch, not always durable for boats, but good for this project. Our friends at Tregothnan Estate, not far from us in Falmouth (also known for its excellent tea plantation) provided all of our needs, including a lot of crooks or timber turns, used for making frames to brace the planking.
Brian set up the keel and the rabbet (the groove or rebate that takes the first planks) was cut. A joint was then cut for joining the stem post to the keel to create the backbone of the boat ready for planking. Brian and his team of volunteers then built up the layers of planking by riveting overlapped planks one on to the other. This method is called clinker in Europe and Scandinavia, and lapstrake in the America and Canada. We planned on seven planks to each side, each about one inch thick and twelve inches wide. The larch planks had to be steamed in a long steam box to make the wood malleable enough to fit to the keel and stem rabbet.
To get the shape of a Viking boat we built moulds or section shapes that acted as guides. It is thought that the Vikings would have set up an overhead strong back supported by an A-frame, in order to brace the struts or shores to brace the planking. They are also likely to have heated stones to make the planks malleable as an alternative to steaming.
The crooks and turns were shaped and fashioned into frames, floors and knees (boatbuilding terms to describe brackets and braces that were fitted to the planking to add cross-sectional strength). Finally the thwarts or cross-section benches were fitted. All were fastened with nails or trenails (pegs of oak or tree nails that would swell and tighten when wet, sometimes with a small wedge driven down the grain to further expand and tighten).
Viking ship construction developed boats that were light, strong, but flexible so that they worked well with the stresses of the sea. They were also shallow draught, which meant that they could still move through shallower river and estuary waters. Climbing in and out was also easier, as speed and surprise were a feature of many Viking visits!
While all of this frantic construction was going on, our woodcarver Rob (a National Maritime Museum Cornwall volunteer) began to work on the stem head. His brief was to make something that would frighten the natives. With help from Patricia from the British Museum, he researched some designs, and decided to use a Viking pin that was being displayed in the exhibition as his inspiration. The head was to be detachable, following the Vikings practice – apparently the raiding boat would remove the stem head on return to its home port so as not to bring bad spirits back with them or scare those on dry land.
The project has enabled our team to get in a 'Viking' mind-set , as we will not only be building a replica of a 57-foot Roskilde boat, but likely some very Viking stage sets for the National Maritime Museum Cornwall Viking Voyagers exhibition, supported by the British Museum.
Vikings Live is at cinemas around the UK on 24 April.
Supported by BP
The BP exhibition Vikings: life and legend is at the British Museum until 22 June 2014.

Skip to comments.Report: GOP senators wont confirm Kerry until Clinton testifies on Benghazi
Posted on 12/26/2012 12:31:59 PM PST by Nachum
Republican senators will refuse to confirm Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., as Secretary of State until the nations current top diplomat, Hillary Clinton, testifies about her handling of the Benghazi terrorist attack.
The Senate is expected to take up Kerrys nomination in early January, but multiple Republican senators have already said they wont agree to a vote on Kerrys nomination until Clinton testifies about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, The Cables Josh Rogin notes.
Clinton backed out of testifying at a congressional hearing last week after fainting and suffering a concussion. She was the first cabinet-level official to acknowledge that terrorists played a role in the assault on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
For some time, al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb and other groups have launched attacks and kidnappings from northern Mali into neighboring countries, Clinton said during a United Nations meeting in New York on September 26. Now, with a larger safe haven and increased freedom to maneuver, terrorists are seeking to extend their reach and their networks in multiple directions. And they are working with other violent extremists to undermine the democratic transitions underway in North Africa, as we tragically saw in Benghazi, (emphasis added).

" balls...they grew some?"
Nah...Santa brought'em. Left'em under the tree."
Wow. Someone have a spine infusion?? About damn time. This is exactly what should be done. Go GOP, I'm proud of you for once.
John F'in Kerry should not be confirmed if they have to sit it out for a thousand years.
Republicans are traitors if they confirm a traitor
Yes: I mean John McCain too.
Holder did the same thing with the BATF as soon as the investigations were heard about, he shuffled bureau chiefs around the country. "I don't know, I just got here!"
Yes...I think so, too.
We are playing a game of chess here. I cringe at most of the moves of the Repubs.
This...I like.
As long as you're showing some spine, demand to see John effin's SF 180.
At least they are "demanding" something out of this poisonous administration and the Hairy Reed.
But, turning the State Dept. over to kooky, radical Kerry while on the edge of war in the Middle East, is quite a large payment in order to force the administration to cooperate with normal Congressional oversite.
"Holder did the same thing with the BATF as soon as the investigations were heard about"
That's a good point, and citizens should be outraged at this tactic. When someone fails to perform in their position or can no longer be entrusted with their responsibilites, you don't move them into another position where they can do even more damage. If this happened under a Republican administration the MSM would be demanding real resignations. But the fact of the matter is the MSM loves the Obama administation and turns a blind eye to its massive corruption.
GOP Senators should not confirm Kerry under any circumstances, peiod; it only takes one Senator to put a hold on the nomination and not let go.
What about Jim Demint???
Did you not hear Mr. Joe Biden, the fellow from Delaware who looks like a chicken, say, "The President and I knew nothing about what happened?"
As far as the Syrian thing goes, those insurgent, rebel, freedom-fighter, patriot, boy scout, democracy-craving, selfless, Muslim Brothers who are trying to overthrow that terrible Assad fellow deserve every Libyan bomb, bullet, and RPG we can steal or buy for them.
No Benghazi story?
What am supposed to do with this file I have been keeping?
Not sure who has to step up here. Anyone can help.
Another way to look at it is that it will get Kerry out of the Senate and perhaps a Republican in his place. Obama will merely appoint somebody else likely just as bad to carry out his agenda. Obama's appointments have been disasters.
Their silence is weird and does leave the impression that they are Obama followers.
She can't remember.
Her brain's in a blender.
It's JELL-O.
Unless you can convince the MSM that BHO, Jr. is actually a Republican, that marvelously factual narrative will probably go absolutely nowhere except up in smoke.
There is one slightly more realistic scenario: There is always the chance that the elected end of the Republican Party, particularly those in the Senate, will all of a sudden become patriotic. Some little sign of that IS actually happening. Which is great, which also means your work is already worthwhile.
However, one must also count the "Grandstanding Factor." We FREEpers must realize that those in authority know just as much as we do, it's just that they have other priorities. That is, after throwing out some "feel-good" PR our way, they will be back to wheeling and dealing with their Democrat pals within weeks.
IMO, the tragedy is that the Republican Party is in its death throes and cannot see that they have an opportunity for heroism in our time that the Founders had in theirs. Republics die. Historically speaking, ours has already had a long run! That is how bad the situation, again IMO, is.
This is pointless if it works — if it doesn't work, it'll be, uh, pointful. Thanks Nachum.

Love these boots!
"I normally wear a size 6 1/2, but these don't come in half sizes. I tried these boots on, in a size 6, in the store and they were a little snug. They didn't have anything else there, so I ordered them in a 7. They are completely true to size and super cute. No funny rubber smell. The opening at the top is nice and wide to accommodate pants or large calves. They have a great tread on the bottom to help walking on ice. I'm really very pleased with my purchase. The shipping was super fast, too. It only took a day and half to get here. Thanks DSW, I will be shopping here again!"

"Love the way these look and they are the perfect height for someone on the shorter side. They seem to run a bit big, but should fit well with thick socks. If possible, I'd recommend getting a half size smaller."

"Runs narrow and long. Ordered a full size smaller and fits great even with thicker socks. Even fits around my large calves."

"These boots are huge! I usually wear a size 7, but could easily wear a 6 in these. The quality is also poor. Right out of the box, the boots looked scuffed and worn, and the seam between the two colors is pulling apart. Needless to say, I will be returning these. Disappointed."

In a rematch of last year's regional championship, the Harrisburg High School soccer team extracted some revenge Thursday night.
The Bulldogs took a 2-1 victory from Breese Mater Dei at the Metro-East Tournament as Harrisburg stayed undefeated on the young season.
Luke Horton and Carver Gregg each had a goal for the Bulldogs, while Ryan Cowsert got the win in goal.
Cowsert played all 80 minutes of action, coming away with six saves.
Gregg now has four goals in two games as he scored the Bulldogs' lone goal in the first half off an assist from Anfernee Houston. Horton provided the go-ahead winning goal in the second half to break the tie.
Harrisburg head coach Mike Stewart called Thursday's contest a hard fought battle with the heat once again taking its toll on the players.
"We played a much better possession game," Stewart said. "We are definitely finding our groove and things are coming together. The men are working well together and to be doing that this early in the season is very encouraging."

Castres needed a 73rd-minute try from their pack to snatch a drama-filled 10-8 Heineken Cup victory over Glasgow on Saturday.
Castres needed a 73rd-minute try from their pack to snatch a drama-filled 10-8 Heineken Cup victory over Glasgow on Saturday.
The result moves Castres into second place in Pool 4, three points behind Ulster and two ahead of Northampton.
A stop-start first half highlighted by missed kicks from both sides was drawing to a close with the scores locked at 3-all until Glasow flank John Barclay scored the first try to give the visitors an 8-3 lead at the break.
But Castres flank Yannick Caballero scored at the back of a rolling maul in the dying minutes, against 13 men, to put the hosts ahead.
And the drama continued as Glasgow fly-half Ruaridh Jackson hit the upright with last-gasp penalty, leaving the Scottish side winless in four games.
Warriors coach Gregor Townsend made nine changes to the side which lost at home last weekend, and his changes showed straight away. Glasgow matched Castres' physicality, while speed among their backs caused problems for the French side throughout.
Peter Horne slotted the first points in the first minute, kicking a simple penalty from in front of the posts, before Romain Teulet equalised minutes later.
Glasgow's speed in their running caused problems for Castres, and they were unfortunate not to score on 20 minutes, when Marcel Garvey intercepted a pass out to Canadian international DTH van der Merwe on the wing.
But the first try of the game arrived moments before half-time, as Barclay charged to the line, evading the attention of Garvey, but was injured in doing so, and that was his last involvement in the game.
Castres came out for the second half full of intent, and put Glasgow under severe pressure, forcing them into conceding penalties in their 22.
But once Glasgow were able to get on the ball, their speed gave Castres further problems. Fijian international scrum-half Nikola Matawalu made a break towards the line from his own half, and was only undone with a dropped ball in the tackle only five metres from the whitewash.
Tom Ryder saw a yellow card with 15 minutes to play, playing his opponent in the air at a line-out. Castres then had Glasgow under the cosh, forcing several penalties at the scrum, but a loss of control allowed Glasgow to clear their lines.
Glasgow then went down to 13 men, as Byron McGuigan tackled Brice Dulin after he had kicked upfield, and was yellow carded with nine minutes to play.
The inevitable came only a minute later, as Caballero powered over with the help of a driving maul, before Daniel Kirkpatrick gave his side the lead with the simple conversion.
Jackson had the chance to give his side the win only two minutes from time, but hit the post with his penalty kick from distance, allowing the passionate home crowd to breathe a huge sigh of relief on the whistle.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.-Ruth Guymon Jaloszynski was born of goodly parents, William Lee Guymon and Una Geneva Seely Guymon, on March 23, 1922, at the family home in Orangeville, Utah.
After graduating from Castle Dale High School as class salutatorian, she left home to seek employment. Ruth worked in an aircraft factory and later trained as a stenographer. She also was employed in various clerical positions.
Ruth married Edwin L. Jaloszynski at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, on Dec. 28, 1946. Two children were born to them: John Edwin Jaloszynski and JoAnn (Raymond) Hendershot. They have six grandchildren: Richard (Jayna) Hendershot, Reed (Maria) Hendershot, Maren (Joshua) McCrary, Megan (Erik) Guderian, Manda (Trenton) Bytheway, and Marta Hendershot; and 12 great-grandchildren.
She traveled with her husband, who was an officer in the U.S. Air Force. Their family lived in Illinois, Florida, Mississippi, Okinawa, Germany, North Dakota, Colorado, and Utah. After her husband's retirement, they settled in Colorado Springs, where she died Sept. 1, 2010, at age 88.
Ruth influenced all who knew her through gifts of love and service. Indeed, she was everyone's servant, and she blossomed into an elegant and gracious woman who followed the example of her Savior, Jesus Christ. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ruth was an exceptional cook, gardener, seamstress, and quilter, making her family's many homes into places of peace and beauty. She loved music and became an excellent pianist, church organist, and accompanist. She did extensive research into her family history and volunteered countless hours in assisting others with their genealogy.
Ruth's parents and two siblings, Jay Guymon and Vearl Alger, preceded her in death. She is survived by her beloved husband, all of their posterity, and by a brother and three sisters: Del Ora Cook, Duane Guymon, Uneta Grange, and Pat Crosby-Burns.
Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 4, 2010, in the Palmer Park Ward chapel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 2750 Melissa Drive. Interment was at the Memorial Gardens cemetery. Ruth will be dearly missed by all who became acquainted with her. She leaves her family a legacy of charity and faithful devotion.

Love them
"These are sooo comfortable. I picked them up in the store and bought them even though I didn't have time to try them on. Once I got them on they feel wonderful. I wore them out and I felt like they had comfy inserts in them. They were wide enough at the toe and I didn't feel like my foot was being forced forward into the toe by the slope of the shoe. I could walk in these for hours."

Modern Vintage Sammy Pump
"These shoes have a cool style, kind of 40's film actress.My main issue with these is I wore them out and the first time, hey got a nick in the leather that covers the bottom platform of the shoe. I think it is much more practical to have a sturdier material, that close to pavement and asphalt.If you are a movie star riding around in a private car and walking around on red carpets they should be fine, but for us normal working class people, I hope to buy shoes with less of a delicate constitution.They are new and are breaking in slow, so take time to break them in before wearing out for a full day."
