Mr. Smith,
I also saw the nice YouTube video of Nebraska's youth trapshoot put together by
the National Shooting Sports Foundation. If anything, I think it underscores
the need for our agency to work more at "telling our story". The Iowa DNR has
been involved in youth clay target shooting efforts since 2007.
If you look at overall participation levels (versus how many kids attend a
single shoot or how many kids "sign up" for something) Iowa happens to have the
largest youth clay target shooting program the country. The Iowa High School
and Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) surpassed one million targets in
competition for the 2013 spring season. If you also consider that teams
practice regularly and shoot 2-3x as many targets in practice we conservatively
estimate that 3 million targets were shot between March 1 and June 23 this year
The Department's primary role is in administration of all aspects of the program
including conducting standardized coach certification, assisting over 400
volunteer coaches each year, and organizing most aspects of the shooting leagues
and state championship events. The actual league events however are all
conducted with local efforts and local resources, just like Little League
baseball for example. This model ensures sustainability since it requires local
teams to garner support and resources from their local community while raising
awareness for the shooting sports at the same time. I've included links to our
website below to give you a better sense of what we do. I've also attached a
summary from the 2013 season which also shows the exponential program growth
since the DNR has been involved.
http://www.iowadnr.gov/Recreation/Shoot ... mSCTP.aspx
http://www.iowadnr.gov/Recreation/Shoot ... sults.aspx
http://www.iowadnr.gov/Recreation/Shoot ... urces.aspx
It is also exciting is that we have seen some data which may indicate the
program is also resulting in direct recruitment of new hunters; perhaps via
"surrogate mentorship" through shooting sports program volunteer coaches or
peer-to-peer relationships. Check out the 2011 Shooting Sports 5 year recap for
more information: http://www.iowadnr.gov/Portals/idnr/upl ... report.pdf
Please feel free to contact me if you need more information or are looking for
ways to get involved with the program.
Best regards,

By Declan Taylor
According to Gilly Flaherty, it was those who doubted Arsenal Ladies who inspired them to clinch their fourth domestic treble.
The young defender completed 90 minutes for the Gunners in their title-winning 1-0 victory over Everton on Sunday. It was the perfect climax to a thrilling run-in for the Ladies who knew that nothing less than a win on Merseyside would scoop their fifth successive League crown.
Questions were asked of Vic Akers' side when they lost some of their star players to the new Women's Professional Soccer League in America. But the Ladies defied their critics by sweeping the board in domestic competitions once again.
For Flaherty it was those doubters who helped pave the way for this season's success.
"Everyone's been saying that we're not good enough to win the league but it fired us up," the 17-year-old declared.
"We've gone out there [at Everton] and proved everyone wrong and showed that we're still the best team in the country.
"Obviously it's been a hard year for us with losing players and it was tough all the way through, but we've finally won it and it feels sweet.
"We've won every domestic competition that we've been in and that makes it even sweeter as well - I'm so proud of all the girls, we've worked so hard for it and we deserve it."
A knee injury to defensive stalwart Faye White this season has thrust Flaherty into the spotlight in only her second season as a first-team Arsenal Lady.
Her sparkling performances at centre-half this term have ear-marked her as one of Women's football's brightest prospects but the teenager was keen to pay tribute to her experienced defensive partner.
"I really enjoy playing alongside Ciara Grant," said Flaherty. "She has brought me on a lot this season and you can't buy the experience she has got.
"We work well alongside each other and hopefully it'll continue next season as well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

David Hockney
Plastic Tree Plus City Hall
David Hockney
British, b. 1937
Plastic Tree Plus City Hall, 1964
Acrylic on canvas
156.8 x 121.3 cm (61 3/4 x 47 3/4 inches)
Gift of Richard Brown Baker 1996.11.21
David Hockney is well known for quirky portraits, interiors, and everyday scenes. His vibrant paintings of the early 1960s are associated with the emergence of Pop Art, but he has always drawn on a variety of past styles as well. Late in 1963, he moved to the United States from Britain. While archetypal Pop artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein worked in New York, Hockney settled in Los Angeles, a place that has provided inspiration throughout his career. He painted Plastic Tree Plus City Hall shortly after arriving in California. Juxtaposing naturalism and artificiality, the tree rises in front of a brushy abstract background, while chains of crisp white circles resembling clouds or cartoon thought bubbles lead to a skyscraper (City Hall) in the distance.

Israeli singer Achinoam Nini and Israeli Arab singer Mira Awad, have been singing together for years and they were selected by the Israel Broadcasting Authority to represent the nation in the Eurovision Song Contest. The decision of Ms. Awad to sing with an Israeli has unleashed a fury of anger among many Palestinians who believe their friendship sends the wrong message to the world. Instead of making it clear that Palestinians and Israelis hate one another and can never be friends, Ms. Awad actually believes a message of love and friendship is necessary in a world in which both parties believe the other is the incarnation of evil. Ms. Awad has a strange idea concerning the two nations. "I see a long term goal in front of my eyes, where eventually our two peoples have to find a way to live side by side, and where the Palestinian minority in Israel achieves equal citizenship.
Of course, to the sick and incompetent Palestinians who believe violence and war will achieve their goals, her ideas reflect a sick mind who will not go along with the program of hate. Perhaps, the preachers of hate can offer evidence their approach is working.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thank you all for the advice! I'm so excited to bring her home and yes she has been with the other owners since a puppy and the pit bull has been there longer. We have had 2 GSD's in the past, but both did not live past puppy stage because they were both runts and had severe health issues. Our last GSD was actually from Diamonds litter. And the breeders asked us if we would take Diamond because she needed a good home

I have adopted dogs from 3 years to 7 years and have had plenty of time with them.
Have her vet checked and spayed. During that recovery just gently become friends and learn the routine. Give her 1-2 months to just get used to the new home and for you to learn what she knows and does not know.
Then, take her to a good training class. The best thing about training class is not that they learn sit or down, it's that it helps for a team with the members of the family and strengthens the bond. Take her through a class or two and it will be very very good for all of you, not only for skills but for the relationship.
I love adopting adults.
6 is a great age! She will be a full adult which is awesome ;-)
Has she only been with her current owners a short time? (Just wondering because you mentioned she doesn't get along with their "current dog" so I'm guessing their pit bull has been there longer.)
Definitely get her established with a vet / bring her in for a check ASAP and, while you're waiting to bring her home, read around: Rescue, Foster & Adoption Information (General) - German Shepherd Dog Forums and Welcome to the GSD/FAQ's for the first time owner - German Shepherd Dog Forums and Health Issues - German Shepherd Dog Forums and, well, just everywhere
Good luck! Will Diamond be your first GSD?
I think six years old is a great age! She will be settled into adulthood, but still have plenty of spunk left. She could easily live for another six or seven years. Maybe more.
I know you said she was already trained, but I always advise new owners to go through a training class with their dog. It is a great way to promote a strong bond, and is a lot of fun.
Good luck! And don't forget to post pictures!
Getting an 6 year old dog, good idea?
So this Sunday we are getting a 6 year old female white German shepherd. The owners are giving her to us because she doesn't get along with their current dog which is a pit bull. Diamond(the shepherd) is said to be very obedient and healthy. Is getting her when she is 6 years old and has had a litter of puppies in the past , a good idea? Will she still live a while longer ? We just have to get her fixed but she has all vet shots and is up to date. And she's very obedient. Do a lot of health problems possibly set in around this age? Please reply! Thanks need some advice!

That's because conservatives are intolerant of other religions, and you can't exactly spell "assimilate" with purely crosses.
That said, there's no real merit to an over-used and ergo uncreative bumpersticker. This is an over-utilized theme that has apparently already been done to this theme. Which means it should probably be reprinted some time next year like Evil-O-Meter.

this is definitely the "blue screen of death" as it is officially termed.
and how long did you try to figure out the "T" before your post?
I love this, because I often rant about how much I can't stand the operating system wars. In for one.
Add me to the list of people who'd buy the sticker, but not the shirt. I really don't feel like having to explain it every time I leave the house.

it's just nice to see something recognize the existence of Ubuntu...

Would this be a good Christmas gift for my brother-in-law who loves playing X-Box360 and does something with computers for work? I am sure half the people on here have a similar hobby and job. Please let me know.
okay major props for having the SkyOS logo there... wish the project itself hadn't fallen into oblivion tho :|
Well it got me. Why? Because through the difficult to read word there is some irony there. Apple doesn't coexist with anyone, not even Prius drivers.
Then you obviously know nothing about computers because Apple is the one that never coexists with anyone.
Getting one for a friend who thinks Ubuntu > Mac. It's kind of a peace offering.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Slippy, Oct 29, 2006.
I'll trade you Zo for kevin martin.
I'd have a lack of guards if I did that
dang micro, tied in turnovers and personal fouls, and really close numbers all the way around. surprised it was 6-3 and not a tie! also surprised i've only made one move all season and i'm still doing well, but ralphi's team is stacked and i can't see beating him
oh.. he can be beaten. just watch this week.
I should have joined this league. I've been admiring it from a far. Sounds like alot of fun!
its pretty cool, but the further we go on the more i'm not a big fan of counting fouls, techs, etc. its possible to win 5 cats without even playing one person for the week. i think maybe we've gone the wrong way. too much focus on the negative cats. perhaps the emphasis should be on lots and lots of moves and limiting it to the most important cats (FG, FT, 3PM, PTS, REB, AST, STL, BLK) maybe even drop the %'s. but hey, that could be an idea for an entirely seperate league. is it too late to start another new one? haha.
No more leagues please! I'm in 3 after I swore I would be in none! I like the current system, even the negative stats that have bit me in the butt once already. But the sleeper league is more advanced than advanced in a way, because you really have to be on top of who is injured, who loses their starting position, who is a true sleeper. After the draft, there is a good chance that half of your roster is garbage. You really need to work hard to stay on top of the best of the rest. And with no extra roster spots, your moves have to be very good.
There won't be any more. Trust me. 4 leagues is more than enough for this forum. I'm sure the rules for the sleeper league can be revisited next year.
The Sleeper league was just a novelty act. maybe instead of open and sleeper leagues we can do a keeper league.
... continuing this in the right thread. it was an incredibly close result though despite the 8-2. you got 3 techs which didn't help, and apart from 3's really everything else was very close. my guys aren't losers. they are young guns. i have a 'no old guys allowed' rule on my team, but i made one exception with Zo. i can stomach it if young guys have off games cos they're only going to get better, but when you have 'over the hill' vets who don't produce, well theres only one direction they're heading in....
and perhaps when i get through with all of you, you guys can add to your keeper and sleeper leagues and make a 'weeper' league, where you all lick your wounds and blacklist me from joining
or we could start an experts league where you need a minimum of 3 championships to enter. then you can play with yourself all year long.
@webz your squad is decent, true. Zo's been blocking like back in his best days since re- entering as the starting C. Also, JR Reid is very nice (I have him on my Novice team and he's turned out to be a major steal). Now we know that having the #1 pick might mean that you didn't get a sleeper, but a proven player (although there was no proof that Kevin Martin would continue his stellar play)- but that doesn't mean your team can't be beaten.
dude, i don't think jr reid would make anyone's fantasy team. not even micro's.
haha, I was talking about JR Smith (my bad). Who knows, maybe Reid's a real sleeper, the realest of all time. The R.O.A.T.
Oh funny joke. Real funny webz.
i have a feeling webz is gonna wipe the floor with me this week
I need more freaking transactions!!!!
yeah i am assuming slippy upped it to 50? or not? seriously, i will trade someone for some transactions unless it changes. (which i think it should)

Posted 10 June 2011 - 10:25 AM
yeah paintball outpost is good, you can really get to know the people there, i go alot, but if ur not a speedball guy or are afraid of going up against people better than you id go to ozark paintball. but those are really the only two right now but there is a new indoor field oprning pretty soon
Posted 21 May 2012 - 08:01 PM
here in pierce city in between springfield and joplin is Kick'n which is a great place. very experienced people working there, very friendly, facility is great. they have a hyperball course which moves from their indoor area to outside and will soon have more fields set up

text: Gotta hand it to them. Put up 12 more shots by a crushing 13-6 advantage on the offensive glass. Took 4 more FT attempts and managed to get blown out. Final score was only 12 but I stopped watching with about 6 mins to go. I don't know if you could duplicate stats like that even if you tried to. Perhaps blindfolding each player before they took a shot. Even then I don't know. When the high point of the game was back to back long 3's that did not even count you know it was bad.

I worked on this thing again last night. I removed the cheapy flex pipe and replaced it with semi-rigid. Before I did that, though, I shoved my arm into the vent to see if I could feel anything and about cut my hand off from a sawzall blade sticking up through the seem of the vent. Nice! So I pushed the sawzall blade down through the vent and let it fall into the crawlspace, installed the new vent pipe and ran the dryer...still same problem. So...down into the crawlspace I went. I checked out the vent and found it had gotten disconnected, of course at the one place where there were so many pipes in the way I had to be a circus contorsionist to work on it. So after about 1 1/2 hours of bending in un-natural ways and cussing enough to make a truck driver blush, I managed to get the vent reconnected. Went to check the dryer again, thinking I had FINALLY solved the issue. This time, I put my GL4x4 sweatshirt in there (odd that this is what I had to test the dryer), since it was damp from the wash earlier in the day and fired up the dryer. The "Check Vent" light came on AGAIN, but it seems to actually be heating up properly now. Granted...I only put one damp sweatshirt in there. My wife is going to run a full load through today and see what happens...that will be the real test.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone, but to be honest I am done with this stupid dryer and am throwing in the proverbial towel. I have wasted enough time, energy, and good cuss words (usually reserved for the Jeep) at this point. If it is still not working, I am calling an appliance repair guy/gal. Any reccommendations on a good one in the Saginaw/St Charles/Hemlock area?

You might want to looking at installing an in-line booster fan. Menard's sells them. I had similar issues with little bit longer duct run. The booster fan fixed it.

Your venting, although clean and clear, has too many bends. The dryer doesn't have the velocity to push the air out. You must allow as straight a run as possible for your dryer to work properly. If needed, as mentioned above, you should install a helper fan, or booster fan.
Although a bend doesn't seem like much, a 90-degree bend to the simpler exhausting of a dryer is restrictive.
Calling an appliance repairman to resole this may frustrate your wallet.
If I were you, I would calculate moving the dryer to a new position with as little friction as possible since you must take into thought the gas line. Use PVC if possible for your exhaust.
Good luck to you, I know this can be frustrating.

Try opening a window in the same room as the dryer. Chances are the fan can't generate enough vacuum to provide enough flow because wherever it is located is sealed too tight.
In my old house my dryer pushed through six 90s and almost seventy feet of pipe but it wouldn't function with the bathroom fan or the range hood running.

Looks like the dryer issues are solved. What did I do?? Well...hell if I know!
After I reconnected the vent in the crawlspace the "Check Vent" light was still coming on. I even unplugged the dryer and let it "reset" and it was still indicating that there was a vent issue. I went to work the next day and my wife reported to me throughout the day that the dryer was working fine, but the light was still on. Feeling beaten by an appliance, I gave up and made an appointment to have a Whirlpool Tech come take a look. That was Friday. We did a couple more loads of wash on Saturday morning and miraculously the light went out...and stayed out. Did nothing different. Hell...I didn't even touch the thing again after calling for a service request. When Whirlpool called on Saturday afternoon to confirm the timeframe for the appointment (scheduled for Monday), I canceled. Been keeping an eye on the dryer ever since and it is working perfect now.
I am pretty convinced that it was the disconnected vent piece in the crawlspace, but have no idea why it took almost 24 hours for the light to finally turn off. Oh well...it is working fine now and that's all that really matters to me
Thanks for all the advice. If this issue comes back, I am going to look into adding a vent fan.

Arsène Wenger has revealed he has no fresh injury concerns ahead of Saturday's visit of Fulham.
Apart from a minor setback to Manuel Almunia (elbow), who will miss the game, the manager confirmed that Samir Nasri and Sebastien Squillaci (both knee) will both be available for selection when he met the media at the Club's training ground on Friday.
Wenger also confirmed that captain Cesc Fabregas is still missing (hamstring) along with long-term absentees Thomas Vermalen (Achilles) and Abou Diaby (ankle), though he did have an update on the progress of the former.
"The team news is that we have everybody available and not Almunia who had a little setback in training yesterday and is out of it," said the Frenchman. "But apart from that, of course Fabregas, Vermaelen, Diaby are out.
"The first signs [for Fabregas] look quite good. I still think two weeks. I don't know [whether he will be available for the Manchester United game].
"At the moment [Vermaelen] is in a boot and we have to wait until he comes out of that to see if he has a reaction."

text: Some posters in the "Which new lady can break up the top 5 at worlds" thread (link below) seem to agree with me that Gracie Gold is currently challenged in PCS. I have concerns about her Olympic potential based on the merits of her programs this season. I have not had time to ponder what should be worked on, but the nuances of skating appear to be lost on her. Does she need a new choreographer or a lot more than that? She is young, but not so young that she should be as flavorless and wanting for grace as she is-- not if we expect her to make a name for herself in the top five or six of the world. Her skating skills are already marvelous, so I wonder: Does she need a Russian coach? An action plan to improve her style and comfort with choreography? What are the opinions and suggestions? http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/sho...or-lady-can-break-up-the-top-5-at-worlds-2013

I'm emphasising the educative role of critics, rather than their dubious role as 'guardians of culture'. A sample:
The big problem...is not that critics will murder restaurants or books - although I can understand why it feels this way if you're on the receiving end. The danger is that we will forget what good criticism is; that we will come to accept clumsy scores or shallow fawning or viciousness instead of works that genuinely diversify or deepen our taste.
(Image: G.C. von Max, 'Monkeys as judges of art')
I've also a piece in The Age today, 'An enriching, illuminating, bonding, godless Christmas'.
I'm giving our version of an atheist Christmas - trying to avoid the extremes of shallow gift exchange and faux-religious laziness. A sample:
as I'm an atheist, there's no God for me. I believe that if he existed, Christ was a murdered holy man, not the child of a god. And that when I die, I will be annihilated and return to the nothing before my birth. But, with my family, and like faux-Christians everywhere, I do celebrate on Christmas Day. Before cries of hypocrisy drown out common sense, let me repeat: I celebrate on Christmas Day - I don't celebrate Christmas.(Image: Softeis)

Hey all!!!
I am getting to the point where paint will soon be hitting plastic, and inevitably airbrushing will be required. I have a compressor that I use for around the house, and the PSI can be changed to accomodate an airbrush, so I have that covered. The questions I have are:
If anyone has any other pertainant information about airbrushes that I may have neglected, please feel free to let me know!!
- What are good makes/models of airbrushes that aren't going to break the bank.
- What features should one look for in an airbrush? Single? Dual? Cup or mixing jar? I am so confused.....
- What sort of paints should one use when painting the armor?

A grader is a track machine with a long blade used to create a flat surface during the grading process. Graders are ideal for the construction and maintenance of dirt roads and gravel roads.
A range of graders is available with blade sizes of 12' to 24'. Some graders are also equipped with GPS technology for a more precise grade control with 20-30mm vertical accuracy, which increases its flexibility.
Grading machines are often used for the precise grading of pavement layers, earthmoving, road building, snow clearing, ripping, scarifying and pushing. The leading brands include Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu and Mitsubushi, all of which can be found on our site. With 2,500 graders for hire on PlantMiner, we also have the widest selection of graders.

Is Rick Perry Obama's last, best hope?
posted at 9:52 am on August 31, 2011 by Jazz Shaw
With the arrival of yet another poll showing Rick Perry moving ahead of Mitt Romney and the rest of the pack, one has to wonder what Team Obama is thinking of all this. I've been mulling it over this week, and against all the conventional wisdom, I can't help but suspect that The Won might be seeing a slender ray of light on an otherwise fairly dark electoral horizon. Why? It all comes down to the type of campaign that the president – along with all Democrats running for congress – plan to deploy next year.
Obama isn't going to be able to run on his record, obviously. Absent Jesus Himself coming down and beating the unemployment rate downward with a Holy Hammer, the nation is going to be short far too many jobs. The housing market shows zero signs of climbing out of the toilet in time for the next election and the president's approval ratings have been following a consistent trend into the danger zone. Aside from bagging bin Laden, he doesn't have much to toot his own horn about. He's left with no other choice but to paint the eventual nominee as an unacceptable alternative, scaring the center back into his court by essentially saying, "OK… things have been pretty crappy with me in charge, but this guy/gal is even worse!"
His most likely path – or at least one part of it – will be the exact same strategy that the DNCC is already revving up to try to take back the house… Mediscare and the specter of slashing Social Security. Even when Obama was in debt deal talks with John Boehner and talking about "reining in entitlement costs," we saw Nancy Pelosi scurrying out immediately following each of the President's speeches, pretty much saying, "Oh, don't listen to him. We're not going to approve any cuts to these programs. We'll save you from the Republicans!"
We've already seen a preview of the plan, with ads running which literally depict Paul Ryan pushing granny off of a cliff in her wheelchair. Team Obama must be smiling, thinking of how Perry is already filming their own attack ads for them every time he comes out and says that Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme. (By the way, Governor, it's really more of a pyramid scheme than a Ponzi scheme, but we can argue semantics another day.) Poll after poll shows that while Americans have slowly come to realize that some changes will need to be made to the program, they oppose any cuts in benefits by a huge margin.
Come debate time, I assume that Obama will already have some sound bites warmed up and ready to go. "I'm the guy who's trying fix and save Social Security for you. And over there you've got the guy calling it a Ponzi Scheme. Who ya gonna trust?"
Perry may have some other long-term problems brewing as well. One of the chief knocks against Barack Obama by his conservative critics – and deservedly so – is his lack of real world business experience. (He's never run so much as a lemonade stand, etc.) What does Perry bring to the table on that score compared to contenders like Romney and Bachmann? Selling books door to door on his summer vacation and helping out on his father's cotton farm? Perry's military experience is highly commendable and gives him a nice leg up on both Obama and most of the rest of the GOP field, but it's still not the job creating "street cred" which many activists have been screaming for.
Some of the base voters who are showing a preference for Perry over Mitt, specifically, like to mention Romney's shifting conservatism. (Or "evolving," if you're feeling more kind hearted.) These same folks seem to ignore the fact that Perry used to be a Democrat. Heck, he was Al Gore's Texas campaign chair in 1988. You will likely recall a number of comments by Barack Obama back when people still thought Jon Huntsman might have a chance in hell at the nomination. He loved making pointed quips about what a loyal member of his administration Huntsman had been. It doesn't require much of a stretch of the imagination to picture Obama saying, "You know, I liked the Governor a lot more when he was a member of our party." (Insert annoying chuckle here.)
And how about health care? Most of this summer you couldn't browse a conservative political blog for 24 hours without seeing the phrase, "Romneycare." And now we're barely two weeks into the official Perry campaign and we find out he was sending love letters to Hillary Clinton to tell her how "commendable" and "worthy" her efforts to craft Hillarycare were.
Don't get me wrong here.. Obama is still looking absolutely beatable next year, and none of this may wind up being a disqualifier. But at first blush it certainly looks like a stack of potential talking points for the Democrats and some ready made ammunition against a Perry campaign in the general.

Jonathan Cyprien Scouting Report
|Florida International Golden Panthers
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'1 - 210 lbs.
|Draft Prediction:
|Second Round
2013 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Jonathan Cyprien, SS, Florida International
Cyprien has ideal height and bulk. At his best when running downhill and in pursuit of the ball-carrier. Runs hard with aggression. Will sometimes look like he already knows the play before his teammates. Hits hard and breaks down well. Very physical defender and can bring big hits without sacrificing balance or technique.
Top-end speed is average and will need to run well in pre-draft testing in order to validate his rising stock. Not fast enough to get sideline-to-sideline in deep single coverage. Better fit in two deep or in the box as an extra linebacker. Showed good hands and has enough length to disrupt the catch. Performed very well as a standout at the Senior Bowl. Must continue to test well compared to similar safeties in his class and show he can hold his own.
Cyprien projects as an early second round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Baltimore, New England, Cincinnati and San Francisco seem like natural fits. I doubt he gets past the 49ers at 31
CortezKennedy96HOF 04/19/13 05:14 AM
St Louis at the Earliest, SF at the latest, and several teams in between that I could see taking him. Hoping he ends up in a Green Bay jersey.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

I wish they sell the same tea with no individual wrapping, in bulk for lower price. Liked the tea but I like it stronger. Decaf isn't very big in Japan. This is a great gift for expected mothers.

It's really hard to find a decaf black tea where I live (outside of the US), and Earl Grey is one of my favorites, especially with milk. This tea has a nice rich smell and flavor.

This is a good Earl Grey tea. I'd rate it at 3 stars, but it gets an extra star for being decaf and not tasting like it. Not much to report flavor wise, tastes a lot like Twinings Earl Grey.

IRR is currently preparing our own set of comments, which will include:
1. At the top of IRR's list for upcoming state legislative action is creation of an Iowa River Restoration Program to focus attention on rivers and streams and their adjacent corridors.
Here is a little info on the Iowa River Restoration Program Int.
IRR champions a River Restoration Program for Iowa. We support creation of a statewide program that would create a framework for in-stream and stream-side improvements to improve water quality, protect aquatic habitats, stabilize streambanks and enhance riparian corridor aesthetics.
We envision a program that would bring together landowners, local communities and river resource professionals to identify and prioritize river assets. Through such a program, Iowans would invest in our waterways to capitalize on their natural ability to provide essential resources for our economy, citizens and environment.
What is river restoration?
At its most basic, river restoration is a process of restoring streams and rivers so they function more naturally to maximize potential to provide services, such as:
- Healthy habitat for fishing, recreation and aquatic life- Reduced water velocity to reduce bank erosion- Increased public safety- Enhanced capacity to capture, store, and in some cases, transform, nutrients and pollutants- Reduced water treatment costs- Groundwater recharge
Inform yourself
IRR is involved in planning opportunities for Iowans to learn more about river restoration. Watch for updates here and in IRR e-News and alerts.
Review IRR's fact sheet Program to Restore Iowa's Rivers, which briefly reviews some basics and benefits of river restoration. It outlines a vision for a statewide river restoration program modeled on Iowa's successful lake restoration program and includes links to information about river restoration programs in nearby states.
Read how river restoration projects are already enhancing economic development in Iowa: A Call to Iowa to Revive Our Rivers, IRR op-ed, Des Moines Register, March 1, 2013.
Most states have such programs, which can improve water quality, recreational opportunities, flood management and wildlife habitat. Some river-restoration practices can also significantly decrease phosphorus and nitrogen runoff and should be considered as part of Iowa's Nutrient Management Strategy.
2. Maintaining and increasing funding for state funded river-related natural resources programs.
- Increasing the Infrastructure Appropriation for the Low-Head Dam Public Hazard and Water Trails program to at least $2M.
- Supporting full funding for Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) program. REAP is authorized by the state legislature to be funded up to $20 M annually, however it has never been fully funded. REAP provides essential funding for soil and water conservation, habitat protection and recreation resources.
- Providing a reliable and consistent revenue stream for the Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund.
3. Establishing effective river nutrient standards and targeting the state's natural resource protection programs to assure effective use of taxpayer dollars.
In brief, IRR supports measures that would help clean up our waterways and improve their natural functions. We oppose changes in regulations or programs that could exacerbate threats to our rivers and streams.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Try and tighten the top strut mount nut. It's possible the bushing is so compressed it's allowing a little play or it's backed off an RCH over time.
You'll need to put a wrench on the big nut and then a little on top to keep it from spinning the top, see if you can tighten it a half or a full turn.
|im thinking it would be the strut mounts/bearings.
|I already have FR Dynamic struts just sitting here... I was just waiting to get shocks and lowering springs to do it all at once, but that could be a while.
^your car is almost 9 years old; how many miles on those struts?
If they're original, then there's not much use throwing good money at them now, just to replace them in a year or two. Consider asking the mechanic to replace them with a new strut + spring assembly (Monroe QuickStrut is $150/ea or less). His labor charge will actually be less to replace the strut with a new one than to repair the old one, and you'll save money in the long run.
Didn't want to start another thread on this while this one was already here.
Well.... my car just got an oil change and I asked them to check out the noise in the front. I wasn't there to talk to the guy who checked it out but he said (on the phone) he looked at everything and it was good, but he heard the noise and it could be a 'strut tire'. Thats what I heard over the phone, but I assumed he meant 'strut tower'. He said to know for sure they would have to take it apart and look and the part, and if thats what it is, it is somewhere between $30-$40 + labor.
So umm.... anyone have an opinion on that? I wasn't taught anything about cars growing up so I'm trying to learn... sorry if it seems like i'm an idiot.
The most common problem creating a popping noise when in a turn or turning the wheel hard is worn ball Joints.
Worn ball joints is serious, because they can break off without warning and that will leave your front wheel sidways.. Even if you are moving at 60mph
So it matters to ask if that is the issue.
the car needs to be put up on a lift and the motion checked. It may take some hard pushing to 'knock' the worn ball over. Or it may be easy. All depends HOW it is worn. Someone who understand the ball joint should look at them
Usually the noise is a sudden loud 'clunk' especially at parking manuver speeds.
If you have that.. Then i say get it checked out.
In other posts I have said ignore stuff because it can wait.
A really worn ball joint should NOT wait. It is unsafe to drive. It does NOT need to be towed, but realize the wheel falling off is not good.
|I'm assuming is was missing sway bar links not the actual sway bar. Your best bet is to jack up the front right tire and kinda grab onto stuff and see if anything moves. Not sure what the popping sound is but if your trying to track down a loose part just grab it and shake it around a little and see if it moves.
Front right popping/crunching.
Hey fellow focus enthusiasts! I wanted to know if anyone has experieced this problem or knows what it could be. Any help would be appreciated. I bought my car back in june, and when I did, it made a popping-like noise in the front right side when I turned all the way in either direction (which was only sometimes to park, and not often). I took it to a trusted shop for a general tune-up and brakes shortly after, and when they got it on the lift, they noticed that one of the sway bars was completely off, and another was off on one end, so I had to get those replaced too. Luckily they didn't charge me anything for labor on those because they aid it was a quick fix. I asked about the popping and they said everything looked good, so they didn't know what it was. But recently, the popping is more frequent and it now makes a noise like somethings loose when I go over a bump or dip with the right front at low speeds (25mph through my neighborhood is when it happens mostly) and I think it has thrown my alignment outta wack because over the past week it has begun to pull right slightly. Its easily drivable, but just wanted to know if this is something simple, as I would love to start giving my car more performance but this seems more important.
Thanks for any help!
Also, if its important, I drive an 04 sedan with the 2.3.

The Cedars-Sinai F. Widjaja Foundation Inflammatory Bowel and Immunobiology Research Institute is a multidisciplinary basic, translational and clinical research program devoted to mucosal inflammation.Under the direction of Stephan R. Targan, MD, the Institute is the overarching administrative structure of three distinct yet highly interactive sub-units: IBD Clinical Care and Trials, Translational Research and Basic Science Laboratory Research.
Research Concepts:
Combinatorial Genomics
Investigators at the Institute apply the combinatorial genomics approach to mucosal inflammatory diseases, which involves associating genes with several serological markers we have identified. Combining these markers with a genome-wide association study (GWAS), we found several gene regions with great potential to be involved in these disorders. This information is used to identify targets for therapeutic development and to generate mouse models for further in vivo animal investigation. Other work focuses on genetic and immunologic pathway associations with severity of disease.
We now know that there is a subset of patients with aggressive/progressive disease who have multiple- and high-level responses to bacterial pathogens and that there is also a subset of patients with mild disease with no or low reactivity to these pathogens. By studying samples from these patients at opposite ends of the disease spectrum, we are beginning to narrow in on the genes responsible for the body's reactions to the pathogens. Based on the results from the genome-wide scan, focused by specific immunologic profiles, genetic variants have been identified that are associated with Crohn's disease. The immune response and the abnormal pathways that are associated with it are keys to understanding how inflammation occurs in inflammatory bowel disease. In this case, research in humans led to a new understanding of one of our animal models, and the information from the animal models advanced our research in humans: bench to bedside and back to bench.

Michelsen Receives David L. Rimoin Teaching Excellence Award
The award is presented to a member of the Cedars-Sinai Faculty who demonstrates exemplary commitment to teaching and mentoring PhD students.
Pathway Biology
While one patient may have IBD as a result of one gene variant and one pathway abnormality, another may have IBD as a result of a different or multiple gene variants and different or multiple pathway abnormalities. It is well established that proteins known as cytokines play a role in the inflammatory process. One example is TL1A, a newly discovered protein that has been shown to play a key role in IBD. The F. Widjaja Foundation Inflammatory Bowel and Immunobiology Research Institute has been a critical leader in the effort to understand how TLIA works in IBD. We have an advantageous position to maximize what we can learn from proteins like TL1A and their associated pathways because we know how they are controlled and we have access to an antibody that can regulate its effects. TL1A is central to the way in which several immune cells respond to initiate and perpetuate the immune response type associated with Crohn's disease. With such a major role in the inflammatory process, it is probable that modulating the effects of TL1A will be a strong target for the development of therapeutics to treat a subpopulation of Crohn's disease patients who have been defined by the basic science experiments described above.
In Vivo Target Development
Very often, the process of developing animal models to study the effect of certain variants on pathways leads to additional findings that initiate further investigation using human materials.Once again, returning to the TL1A example described above, we performed parallel studies in animal models to more fully understand the relationship of TL1A to intestinal inflammation. Mouse studies are crucial because their immunology can be manipulated and altered to isolate different effects of different proteins, as well as the effect on specific cell types in specific parts of the body.
Once again, returning to the TL1A example described above, we performed parallel studies in animal models to more fully understand the relationship of TL1A to intestinal inflammation. Mouse studies are crucial because their immunology can be manipulated and altered to isolate different effects of different proteins, as well as the effect on specific cell types in specific parts of the body.The possibilities are practically endless, yet the information yielded is very specific. Some disease mechanisms are clearly relevant in both mouse and human disease, determining which animal models and what mechanisms may be relevant to human disease has been somewhat difficult. Inflammation in these animal models is highly variable even to the degree seen among patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Using our knowledge of TL1A, we assessed whether it will be a good therapeutic target and the early data are very encouraging. Because of the success of this treatment in animals, testing is now beginning in humans.
MIRIAD IBD Biobank and Database
The MIRIAD IBD Biobank is the largest repository of IBD specimens in the world and is distinguished even more by the degree to which each sample is characterized by associated clinical, genetic, serum biomarker and research meta data. This additional information allows samples and data to be ready and available as research questions arise and greatly accelerates the ability of researchers to answer questions. The MIRIAD IBD Biobank is critical to our ability to accelerate the pace of discovery and the path to personalized medicine for IBD patients everywhere.
The MIRIAD IBD Biobank's Translational Informatics (TRICS) Database links together all of the diverse data sets generated by clinical, genetic, basic laboratory and translational research. The TRICS Database also links the research data with patient care information maintained in CS-Link and makes it accessible to researchers in a HIPAA compliant manner. We are proud to partner with our patients (~70% of whom are research participants) to build this unique resource.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Chip18, post number 8 in this section is called "1 Year old Adpoted male GSD with Fear of Strangers". Can you give the name of the post you think might be helpful in my situation? Thanks!
|Jax08, what is LAT? I live in McPherson, KS, I really doubt I can find this around here. The nearest good dog instructor is about 45 mile drive. That is why i am researching and asking qs on my own. Since you've gone through it and got your dog fixed can you share some tips on dog aggressive behavior modification, please? I realize, a professional help would be ideal. At least, we could get a good start. Thanks!
It was just a sudden transition from a playful and friendly puppy to an aggressive beast that tries to rip a face off any dog invading her space. It's hard to believe...
You are right, it is something I will have to deal with. Her fearfulness of what the other dog might do triggers the aggressive reaction.
I like the advice I came across somewhere - to put a bite guard on her and expose her to a balanced and friendly dog just hang around. The key is to have faith in her again and not get tense or nervous when she meets another dog - she can sense my fear. When you feel she has played nicely with enough dogs and did not got aggressive you can remove the guard. The good thing is she still loves humans - all of them. You can tried to avoid dogs but you cannot avoid contacts with people.
When we had to board our two dogs. We told them board together and no playing with other dogs. I worked with them I knew my Boxer was good but...some dogs don't like being punched the face no knocked over! Boxer thing..
Walks were fine but no free play! GSD was a least dog "neutral" my Boxer was balanced. But your dog is "now" dog reactive. That's going to take a lot of skill to deal with by someone else, if he is allowed free time with other dogs.
If you have to board I would instruct, "just say no to free play with other dogs" myself.

It can be fixed. You need to get her around dogs you trust and that she trusts. You'll need some behavior modification. LAT is good. The best advice is to find a good trainer to help you with this.
If you post your location maybe someone can suggest one to you.
Stop forcing her to meet dogs. She is afraid. She doesn't want to and she isn't acting appropriately. Keep her under threshold where she is confident around them for a while before deciding to introduce strange dogs again.

Sucks but regardless it happened so know you have to deal with it. The link in post 8 on dealing with a dog reactive dog is a good start. Outside the confinds of a dog park can work but I would try walks in your neighborhood with dogs behinds fences for awhile first.
Also the "Who Pets my Puppy or Dog" I did it for my GSD's "people issues" Dominate Aggressive male. I deem him as such based on his "Rank" drive issues with a follow pack member and the stitches in my hand!
So move on and ignore for people and same with dogs..."nothing to see here dog...move along." When I was done...people issues were gone and I found I he had no dog issues! Not a dog park dog and no dog intros, while training!
Then there is this:
Wheres my sanity: Sit on the Dog, aka: The long down

On our daily walks I used to always let her greet and sniff other dogs but after that accident with the GSD she goes into an attack mode almost instantly. Yesterday, I brought her for a play date with another dog, but all she ended up doing was trying to bite that poor bullmastiff in the face. Can it be still fixed and how? I will need to board her for a few days in mid July, and my fear is that she will end up locked up in a cage or get hurt by other dogs. Any good advice would be very helpful. Thanks!

My dogs are always on leash arround any public area unless swimming or in the bush hiking/camping or living in for a few months Love the mountains But them we are well off the beaten track
I go close to dog parks to test the dog and see were we are at with this issue I detest off leash dogs in public areas I fear "it is ok he is friendly" as it charges our way out of any control
My male he came with this issue and in a year he has gotten better He will never get along with strange dogs not in his nature
When I got him a few brawls broke out with my female Two were some messy lots of blood and deep tissue damage on the dogs and myself
I take only dogs that no one wants the unbalanced unmanageable biters the cast offs The more difficult the more fun Been that way for along time now
I believe that some gsd are not dog social at all Imo dog social is a human phrase that have little relevance in the k9 world At times when they have been attacked they become non social with other dogs But I do not see it as a problem just a issue As long as he can pass a dog on the street with out flipping his switch it has been good progress Past that all is good
This is a example of not using a prong collar My experience has taught me it will over stimulate the dog
Hope you get a good conversation going on this Hopefully I may get a key to this puzzling issue
|Chip18, thanks for the reply! The accident with a GSD happened during a group obedience training. I have never brought my dog to a dog park and definitely never will. I will always appreciate FRIENDLY advice on how to get this aggressiveness under control.
A lot of what you need is in post 8. Stop putting your dog and other peoples dogs at risk! Do read the general "warning" on "Why Dog Parks are a Bad Idea." Save general warning for "meeting other dogs" I just say .."NO."
My policy is not to allow my dogs to interact with "dogs that I do not have control of or know personally are safe!" My dogs don't have problems created by "bad encounters with unknown dogs."
I believe you can fix this...link there on Dog reactive dogs but not if your going to do dog parks or "I thought my dog was friendly folks??"
If you continue to do that then, this will most likely come in handy:
