The latest unemployment figures were not at all positive — job creation was far below the level necessary to start getting a significant number of Americans back to work and the unemployment rate rose to 9.2 percent, its highest level this year.
As the US economy continues to muddle along (as does that of many other Western nations), policymakers and business leaders should focus on investing in growth sectors. Clean or green energy is a key example of a field bursting with potential for economic growth. Timidity at the federal level, however, remains a hindrance, even as local governments and regional associations move forward to try to fight climate change and establish themselves as hubs in the green economy.
In a recent report, Sizing the Clean Economy, researchers at Brookings note the constrained potential of this sector: "The 'green' or 'clean' or low-carbon economy—defined as the sector of the economy that produces goods and services with an environmental benefit—remains at once a compelling aspiration and an enigma as the nation and its regions search for new sources of growth.â€
Uncertainty about federal legislation regarding climate and energy issues, as well as the absence of federal standards for green energy are two key reasons clean energy in America remains an "enigma.â€
The Brookings report notes that other nations are not approaching the field nearly as tentatively as the US: "China—which now produces half of the world's wind turbine and solar modules—recently announced it would accelerate its "clean revolution†over the next five years and has set out aggressive growth plans for strategic emerging industries (SEIs) critical to economic restructuring, including multiple new energy categories, electric vehicles, and energy efficiency products.â€
This finding is in line with a recent piece in Climate Progress, which reported last week on new figures showing that the industrialized world is quickly losing ground in the development of clean energy. In 2010, for the first time ever, spending in developing countries on green energy outpaced spending by wealthy countries ($72 billion and $70 billion, respectively).
It seems like it's time to put ideological barriers aside on this issue. Even if some very small, but very vocal, minority still thinks climate change doesn't exist, fossil fuels are finite and it's clear that clean energy is a field that is going to drive economic growth in the next century. The US should try to get in on the action.

Peterson: If Khan is Hurt, I'm Definitely Going For The Kill
by David P. Greisman
The offer wasn't right.
Lamont Peterson had turned down a chance to face Amir Khan for a junior-welterweight world title, unhappy with the money that was being offered him.
That move has worked out for him. Now he is facing Khan for what he says are the terms he wanted. And he is also facing Khan on Dec. 10 in Peterson's hometown of Washington, D.C.
In this interview with BoxingScene.com, the 27-year-old with a record of 29-1-1 (15 knockouts) talks about fighting in D.C., says what he sees in Amir Khan, and looks toward what the future brings should he score the big victory in a few weeks.
BoxingScene.com: How does it feel to be fighting in your hometown?
Peterson: "It's a big deal to me, winning the world title in front of my friends and family, just giving everybody the chance to motivate me to a championship, to support me to the championship. And when it's all said and done, and I do win the championship, we can all celebrate together."
BoxingScene.com: You've only fought in D.C. twice before. Do you wish you'd been promoted at home more?
Peterson: "Yeah. But fighting in Vegas and other places like that, and Memphis, it wasn't bad. You gain fans all over the country, fighting around. But I do wish I would have fought more at home, at least once maybe every year, to feel the support."
BoxingScene.com: You had a chance to fight Amir Khan before, but you'd said the terms weren't good enough for you.
Peterson: "That's exactly what happened. We were not happy with the contract. We had another option to go. We went with the other option. The other option was to take the fight with [Victor] Cayo and force Khan to fight on better terms for us, and that's exactly what happened."
BoxingScene.com: Size up Amir Khan for people…
Peterson: "He's a good fighter. Fast. Tall. He's a volume puncher, decent punching power, and he just try to out-hustle you. That's his whole thing is to out-punch you to win the fight.
"Of course that's my job —to slow him down and make sure that if that's the way he want to win the fight, I want to make sure that's not something he can do often in the fight."
BoxingScene.com: What do you need to do to beat him?
Peterson: "Just be smart. Of course, you know, not let him out-punch me. I don't want to fight his game. But still just let him know that I'm there to fight. Just stay smart and stick to the game plan that we've been going over and over again at the gym.
BoxingScene.com: Does this fight go the distance?
Peterson: "It could very well go the distance, but if there's a knockout I wouldn't be surprised."
BoxingScene.com: I ask because some people believe that Khan has a glass jaw. Do you go into this fight believing that, or do you not want to get caught up in that line of thinking?
Peterson: "No, I'm not going to get caught up in it. The way I see it is this: He throws a lot of punches, and that means your hands are not at your chin. So he's going to give you a lot of opportunities to knock him out. Because he put his chin on the line so much, there's a good chance he can get caught with power shots and possibly get knocked out.
"But I'm not out there just looking for it. I just want to stick to my game plan. If I catch him clean, and he's hurt, I'm definitely going for the kill. But for the most part, I'm okay with it going 12 rounds."
BoxingScene.com: Your brother, Anthony, is on the undercard. Is it distracting at all when he is fighting, or is it better for you?
Peterson: "During the training, it's better for me, because he's going to help push me and I'm going to help push him. But when it comes down to fight night, whoever fights last, that's the one that all the weight and emotions and everything falls on.
"Because a lot of times you're sitting here in the back, and he's fighting, I'm worried about him. I want to know if he's winning, I want to know how he's doing, if he's okay. I'm sitting back there and instead of focusing on my fight, I'm focusing on his fight.
"That night it's going to be me. We've been around this game a long time. We're men now. We understand the game. I don't think there'll be any distraction. I'm going to just try to relax and focus on what I need to focus on and have faith that he'll go in there and take care of his business."
BoxingScene.com: Do you take anything from Amir Khan's recent fights, be it the struggles he had with Marcos Maidana or the way he beat Zab Judah?
Peterson: "I'm trying not to take away nothing from his last last two fights with [Paul] McCloskey and Zab. They're southpaw fighters, different fighters from me, so I don't think there's too much to learn form that.
"But with Maidana, I learned some things from there —when Khan fight at his best, when he don't. I know when he's backing up … he's not as effective as he is coming forward. I'm just trying to look at things like that and figure things out for me. I'm learning from that fight more than any other fight."
BoxingScene.com: What does a win over Amir Khan do for your career?
Peterson: "It takes it to the next level. I've been on this stage before, first time with Timothy [Bradley] and I lost the fight. Second time [with Victor Ortiz] it as a draw. Each time I'm learning more and more. This time I expect to win.
"I'm not saying that Khan isn't one of those guys that's on the next level, but it just puts me there. That's where I want to be. Lining up fights to fight the best fighters out there, either at 140 or 147."
BoxingScene.com: You want to go to welterweight?
Peterson: "I can definitely fight at 147. Sometimes I get up to 160 and higher, so I feel good at 147. I think I'll fight with more energy and actually be stronger at 147. I can easily make 140, too, but it takes more out of me to make '40 than '47. '47 is no problem for me at all."
BoxingScene.com How long until you move up?
Peterson: "The sooner, the better — but if there's better fights at 140, I'll stay."

text: Posted February 6, 2009 How does anyone blame Marshall for Fitz being open? Come on.. That's all on Trgo and his dumb play calling. You could blame Tim Lewis too. I remember all the asskissing everyone was doing with Lewis last year. How they performed so well without a pass rush. Now they performed the same way with a pass rush and people are pointing it out as a problem. Both Lewis and Trgo are gone now so let's end the blame game. realistically, you don't blame anyone but Fitz for being open. Believe it or not, but he's been pretty open in all his playoff games. He's like smitty, you can try covering him all game.. but you can't. (unless you're asomugha) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry Mountains, segment of the Colorado Plateau, extending for 40 miles (64 km) in a northwest–southeast direction across Garfield county, southern Utah, U.S. Mount Ellen, which ascends to 11,615 feet (3,540 metres), is the highest point. Named for Joseph Henry, a great American scientist and the first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, the mountains are well known by geologists as a classic example of laccolith (igneous [lava] uplift) mountains. The Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, located along the Colorado River, embraces part of the Henry range. A large herd of bison, introduced in 1941, lives on the range's western slope. The mountains also harbour a large population of sage grouse.

Faraz Rabbani
|Faraz Fareed Rabbani
|Modern era
|Islamic scholar
Main interests
|Islamic law, Islamic finance
Faraz Fareed Rabbani is a scholar and researcher of Islamic law and translator of several Arabic works to the English language.
Faraz describes himself as a "global nomad", as he spent his childhood in Canada, England, Egypt, and Spain, before returning to Canada to complete his high school and university studies. Having come from so many places, when he began to reflect on who he was, he discovered the only clear answer was "a Muslim."
And so began his journey as a student of knowledge. At university, he became active with the Muslim Students Association at a local and national level. He helped develop MSA National's MSA Starter's Guide and founded and ran The Muslim Voice, MSA University of Toronto's magazine. He also founded and ran the first online African news service (Africa-N), and worked as an editor on his college paper, The Strand.
Even while completing his Bachelors in Economics and Commerce at the University of Toronto, Shaykh Faraz developed a deep interest in Islamic learning, studying with local scholars such as Shaykh Talal al-Ahdab and Shaykh Faisal Abdur-Razak. After graduating from the University of Toronto in 1997, he and his wife (Ustadha Shireen Ahmed) travelled to Damascus and then to Amman, where he studied with leading Islamic scholars, including Shaykh Adib Kallas (Allah have mercy upon him), Shaykh Hassaan al-Hindi, Shaykh Muhammad Jumuah, Shaykh Akram Abd al-Wahhab, and Shaykh Nuh Keller. In 2001, Shaykh Faraz began answering questions for his family and friends online; this grew into the Hanafi Fiqh list at Yahoo Groups. On the advice of his teachers, the SunniPath web site was created, which featured both a question/answer service and online Islamic courses.
After ten years overseas, Shaykh Faraz returned to Canada in the Summer of 2007. In May 2008 he founded SeekersGuidance to deal with the urgent need to spread Islamic knowledge—both online and on the ground—in a reliable, relevant, inspiring, and accessible manner.
Shaykh Faraz has been encouraged by his teachers and other leading scholars to work towards establishing a model Islamic seminary that will produce Islamic scholars of the highest caliber, through excellence in teaching, curriculum, spiritual training, and a deep spirit of service—with knowledge of both religion and contemporary social and intellectual realities. This is key to the long-term vision of SeekersHub (www.SeekersHub.org).
Shaykh Faraz also serves as a partner and legal advisor with StraightWay Ethical Advisory.
He is the author of Absolute Essentials of Islam: Faith, Prayer, and the Path of Salvation According to the Hanafi School (White Thread Press, 2004.) In 2009, Shaykh Faraz was named one of the 500 most influential Muslims by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Center.
In 2012, Shaykh Faraz has again been selected by The Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre amongst 'The 500 Most Influential Muslims'.
Faraz Rabbani is Educational Director and Instructor at SeekersHub (www.SeekersHub.org). He has two published books: Sufism & Good Character and Absolute Essentials of Islam: Faith, Prayer, & the Path of Salvation According to the Hanafi School. (White Thread Press, 2004.) He also runs the blog Seeker's Digest and has a regular column in Islamica Magazine.
As the founder of the original Hanafi fiqh list, Shaykh Faraz was involved with SunniPath since its beginning until leaving in May 2008 in order to start SeekersGuidance (www.SeekersGuidance.com), which later became known as SeekersHub Global. This initiative features accurate Islamic education, free of all cost, online. He also set up an Islamic learning Centre in Mississauga,Canada, called SeekersHub Toronto.[1]

You can 'meander' your way through course to help school
Published: Friday, April 23, 2010 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 11:17 a.m.
Lace up those sneakers, get out the Gatorade and get ready to run, walk or meander for a local fundraiser benefitting a Houma school.
St. Bernadette Catholic School's 15th-annual 5K Panda Meander is scheduled for May 1 at the school, 309 Funderburk Ave., Houma.
The event is scheduled to begin at 8:15 a.m., with warm-ups with Ashley Fontenot, a parent of a St. Bernadette School student. A half-mile fun run, aimed at children, is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. The 5K run — 3.1 miles — typically run by adults and high school students, is scheduled for 9 a.m.
"It is really for kids after the race and for families to enjoy the day and picnic on the grass." said Patricia Domingue, St. Bernadette's principal.
Following the races, there will be a "Panda Party" with food from Wing Stop, Chick-fil-A and Cannata's. The after party will also feature arts, crafts, a talent show and other entertainment for kids.
The race course leaves from the school on Funderburk and runners take a right on West Park Avenue, a right on Bayou Gardens Boulevard, a right on St. Louis Canal Road, a right on Kenny Street, and back to the school.
Race organizers expect as many as 300 participants.
School administrators plan to use the money generated from the event to support St. Bernadette's walking track. They hope to improve the facility by adding lights, benches, exercise stations and landscaping.
The Panda Meander, which began in 1994, takes its name from the school mascot. The event was organized after an elderly couple was mugged while taking their daily stroll in the Broadmoor subdivision. Race organizers sought to create a safe exercise space for the surrounding community. The race helped raise enough money to complete the ¼-mile track, which is now three years old.
Area runners can also use the 5K race to qualify for the Bayou Runners Association Grand Prix.
Entry fees cost $14 with a T-shirt and $10 without a T-shirt. For information, call 872-3854 or visit www.saintbernadettepandas.com.
"We hope to have a lot of racers that can enjoy it," Domingue said, "and those that belong to [Bayou Runners Association] can make it one of their grand-prix races."

STOCKTON - Stockton Dodge has acquired the former Chase Chrysler Jeep dealership and the renamed company, Stockton Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, is now offering all Chrysler vehicle lines.
Since closing the deal on Tuesday, all the new car inventory and a dozen employees of the former Chrysler Jeep store have moved to Stockton Dodge's facility at 3333 Auto Center Circle.
And the location continues to house the Stockton Hyundai dealership as well, General Manager James Hill said.
"We're just bursting at the seams now," he said, But added, "It's a good problem to have."
Co-owner Robert W. Byington expects the acquisition to boost business revenues.
"It'll be good for our parts and service business. Owners can bring all their Chrysler products to us and we can take care of all their needs," he said Friday. Also he noted, "Jeep's product is very popular."
More changes are on the way.
Stockton Dodge will be remodeled and updated to accommodate and better promote its new product mix, then the former Chrysler Jeep dealership at 2979 Auto Center Circle, will also be remodeled and entirely dedicated to Stockton Hyundai.
"When it's all said and done we'll probably spend a couple of million dollars," Byington said about the expansion investment.
Byington said Stockton Dodge was started Jan. 1, 1971, by his parents, the late Robert G. Byington, and Barbara Byington, who remains president of the company.

A couple of days after jurors were picked for the Pfeiffer trial, now scheduled to start April 22 in New London Superior Court, lawyers started picking jurors Thursday for the murder-for-hire trial of Antonio Pena.
Pena, 36, of New London was arrested in August 2011. He is charged with conspiracy to commit murder and is being held on a $2 million bond. According to police, he offered to pay Gerardo Carrillo of Westbrook and Elmer Melendez of New London to kill Oscar Valentin, allegedly a fellow drug dealer.
Carrillo and Melendez, also held on $2 million bonds, are awaiting their own trials.
Prosecutor Christa Baker and defense attorney William Gerace have taken turns questioning potential jurors. Once selected, the jurors will have to wait a couple of weeks to begin hearing evidence. The trial itself is slated to begin in May.

A true historical archive for CUPM would likely date to the founding of the MAA in 1915, since undergraduate mathematics has since the beginning been both our focus and our strength. The items we'll post here are selected based entirely on personal taste, and provide a glimpse of the kinds of things one can find searching through back issues of the American Mathematical Monthly.
Establishment of the first incarnation of CUPM was approved at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in December 1952, and announced in the report of the Board of Governors meeting on page 215 of The Thirty-Sixth Annual Meeting of the Association, The American Mathematical Monthly, Vol. 60, No. 3 (Mar., 1953), pp. 214-218.
Not surprisingly, there were diverse opinions regarding the appropriate nature of the undergraduate curriculum and how best to teach it. The articles below are a sampling from those that appeared in the early years of CUPM.

Do we need to change anything or would you happen to know why is this happening?
Thank you.

Editorial Reviews
"Hess states at the outset that he is 'not seeking to provide a definitive account of educational markets, but to launch a more useful conversation on the topic,' and he has achieved this goal.... Hess succeeds in posing a challenge to those who see choice and competition- the manipulation of incentives, if you will- as a way of improving schools without getting bogged down in the nitty-gritty issues of providing a quality education." Edward B. Fiske, Education Next, 7/1/2002
"Anyone interested in school choice ought to place Frederick M. Hess' 'Revolution at the Margins: The Impact of Competition on Urban School Systems' on their reading list.... Mr. Hess successfully strives to be objective in his analysis.... The result is a book that will increase the knowledge of anyone interested in school choice.... Mr. Hess' excellent book will make anyone interested in school choice better informed about the history of vouchers and the changes vouchers have made in our schools." Martin Morse Wooster, Washington Times, 7/14/2002
"[A] meticulously researched book.... Reading 'Revolution at the Margins' will take most educators out of their comfort zone- the zone that deals with urban reform focused on teaching, learning, classroom practice, assessment, standards, traditional school funding options, and community involvement." Terry Stirling, Northeastern Illinois University, Teachers College Record, 11/5/2002
"A nuanced study." Future Survey, 11/1/2002
"Hess's analysis [is] sound and moves the voucher debate helpfully away from the rigidities of the state-vs.-market debate.... Hess's most important contribution is clarifying and redefining the debate." John Gardner, Milwaukee School Board, Education Next, 7/1/2002
"[A] revealing and timely book..." David Ruenzel, Teacher Magazine, 11/1/2002
"Hess explains very clearly why public education cannot compete effectively in a competitive education industry." Myron Lieberman, School Reform News, 8/1/2002
"He has made an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the context in which market based urban school reforms occur." Michael Mintrom, University of Auckland, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory
"Presents new ideas and evidence in a readable form that is likely to be noticed and noted. Hess's concept of the 'political market' is valuable and has relevance even beyond the school choice debate. " Jeffrey R. Henig, Rethinking School Choice and coauthor of The Color of School Reform and Building Civic Capacity: The, 2/1/2002
"Well-written and nuanced work that gets us to reflect realistically on what competition might accomplish in public education. A rich set of cases." Henry M. Levin, William Heard Kilpatrick Professor of Economics and Education and Director, National Center for the, 2/1/2002
"Hess provides us with the first empirically based, theoretically informed, institutionally rooted, non-ideological assessment of the way in which public schools have initially responded to choice initiatives. For those interested in education reform, this is a highly accessible must read." Paul E. Peterson, Henry Lee Shattuck Professor of Government and director, Program on Education Policy and Governance,, 2/1/2002
"Drawing upon extensive case studies, Rick Hess sheds new light on how teachers and administrators are responding to educational competition. What he finds may disappoint school choice enthusiasts and opponents alike. Educators do respond to competitive pressure, but their responses are muted and slowed by a culture that is antithetical to competition, a system that fails to provide incentives to respond to competition, and a political dynamic that insulates schools from the consequences of competition." Jay P. Greene, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, 2/14/2002
"Drawing on economic, political, and organizational theories, Rick Hess constructs a broad-based theory of the way urban schools respond to educational choice policies. He looks with a cool, dispassionate eye on the claims and counterclaims of choice advocates and opponents in three urban settings. This book makes a major contribution to the field of educational choice and to our broader understanding of the political economy of urban schooling." Richard Elmore, Harvard Graduate School of Education, 2/10/2002

What I really liked about this book is that the author doesn't try to prove that school choice does or doesn't work. Instead, he dives into trying to understand how it affects the public schools in the community. Using extensive interviewing, research, and document collection, he offers the deepest look I know of into how school choice competition actually plays out. The reliance on interviews and historical narrative also has the plus of making it much more engaging than the standard analysis of school vouchers. The book also offers some important insights regarding urban schooling and the nature of urban school reform.
This is a book that is definitely worth reading for anyone interested in school vouchers, or even those who just want to learn more about school reform or urban schooling.
Regrettably, Revolution at the Margins says rather more about educational research than about the impact of pro-choice initiatives. Essentially, Hess finds virtually no result at all from competition with the politically well-entrenched public sector. Bureaucrats occasionally mobilized themselves to a little mendacious propaganda (hanging banners outside public schools saying 'High Standards Start Here'), to teaching test-taking strategies to children, and to mounting legal actions to cramp the style of choice schools; but usually there was no action beyond verbal "lashing out" (for example at the "racist and rapacious" proponents of choice).Read more ›

Manchester United Message Board
United! Prepared for GLORY!!
Crucial games coming ahead. Now it's the moment of truth.
A must win one. 2-0 or 3-1 is the target.
Barcelona 1st leg
At least a draw, better still with one or two away goals.
Draw is good if winning the Blackburn game. Personally suggest, beat the hell out of them!
Barcelona 2nd leg
No need to say, kill them off once and for all!
Merit points of MU:
Creating lots of chances all this time. Defending very well. Playing consistently well. Team spirit and confidence are high (the renewal of contracts etc showing it) .Lots of talents and potential in the team, abundant with experienced veterans and rising stars. Cooperation and coordination of whole team "clicking".
But mindful (towards MU) :
Never let any possible under-par result undermine the confidence and spirit. Keep a low profile. Be calm and cool down all the time, off and on the pitch, in front of goals, when going behind the opponents during games. Be careful all times. Stay focused and relax at the same time.
I personally think, being cool and calm down is the most important factor for a team. Coolness helps players relax, helps turn things around, turn a below-par performance into a spirited one, unleash a talented player's potential, and produce a stunning performance.

We just took down Arsenal, and that was with Vidic and Nani out. Now that they're back, We'd be unlucky not to take 6 from our next 2 games, and very unlucky not to take 4.

Former Dagger Gavin Tomlin bagged a fine double and midfielder Kevan Hurst also netted as the visitors stretched their impressive unbeaten run to 14 matches in all competitions.
Still said: "Southend were more experienced, they never allowed us to get going.
"Unfortunately we didn't have enough good players. Not enough people played well.
"In the second half we were better. I thought we had four or five reasonable goalscoring opportunities, but need to score one to get the game changed. We didn't, so fair play to them.
"It was probably one of those games where we just didn't get started. I said at half-time that I could have changed all 11 players.
"It was one those days which wasn't good enough for us, but it's one of the things that I accept because we've not got a lot of experience in our side.
"I just felt all over the pitch they had good players, good knowledge and good experience. They're a good side."

Thanks for the updated plugin.
Could we have different HTML for the widget? It's currently the same as the one used to display the Instagrams on a page.
For example, I want my widget to show only one instagram which will be centered, have padding around it and a border. On my page of 15 instagrams, I want them all floated to the left with smaller margins and no border to create a 5x3 grid.
I currently can't do that with the way the HTML is generated from the plugin.

Transformers has enjoyed a partnership with General Motors throughout the first three live action movies, and that is a trend which looks set to continue with Transformers 4! According to MLive, this weekend 10-11 August 2013 will see the on-location shooting of Transformers 4 head to GM's Lansing Delta Township assembly plant. The plant is where the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave crossovers are made. According to GM this might be the first of many GM locations to be used, suggesting that Transformers 4 might involve the auto maker like never before. As always time will tell!

The Tykes, hammered 6-0 by Charlton on Saturday, bounced back with a 1-1 draw against Derby.
Chris O'Grady put them ahead and they were only denied a victory which would have lifted them out of the drop zone by a last-gasp John Brayford strike.
"The players are feeling the pressure of the situation, there's no doubt about it," said Flitcroft.
"Don't forget we got downed 6-0 at home and we've had two players sent off. That's still in the back of the players' minds.
"They didn't want to get smashed again. It was a brave performance but we didn't get the result we wanted.
"It's not a difficult one to take, it's just disappointment. It's an emotion we're going to have to soon get over.
"We did enough to win that game but we're not going to be victims, we'll keep fighting until the end.
"We'll grow stronger over the next few games because we'll get players back from injury and suspension.
"I asked the players to raise their game 20 per cent in the second half, because that 20 per cent would have been enough to beat a really nervy Derby team.
"It wasn't the right result but I got the performance from the players that I was expecting."

Chicago Vegan Foods - Dandies Vegan Marshmallows
Over a year ago
Another vegan product I had my eye on for a long time and decided to order it from Pangea (veganstore.com) along with my Go Max Go candy bars is Dandies Vegan Marshmallows (http://www.chicagoveganfoods.com/dandies_vegan_marshmallows/).
I've had Sweet & Sara's Marshmallows (http://www.sweetandsara.com/) before but still wanted to try these ones.
I got them on Monday and almost instantly opened the bag and and tried two of them. They are okay sweet and puffy not exactly like actual marshmallows a little gritty almost. I don't know if I got a bit of an older pack or if they just go bad rather quickly. As I got it on 1/28 and the "best by" date is 2/8 (that is less than 2 weeks to eat!) and I ordered them late on 1/24 so they were packed and shipped 1/25 and probably would have got to my house a day earlier if it weren't for Sunday.
That's okay though because I will likely just use most of them to make something like rice krispies! Anyone else ever try Dandie's Vegan Marshmallows did you do anything besides eat them straight out of the package haha?
Please log in to reply.
Over a year ago
Really? I'm sorry you got a stale package=/ They go stale pretty fast.
I was dancing in the store when I saw these, I had heard of them but didn't think I would ever find them, and I didn;t want to sell my kidney for sweet and sara marshmallows. I thought they were amazing. They had the exact same taste and texture as non vegan marshmallows, the friend I was with at the time and I had my dad try them and he thought the exact same thing. We even made s'mores with them and they caught fire beautifully, lol. The only problem I had was they don't melt in hot cocoa =/You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

I tried them and I made whoopie pies with them. I really don't like them as much as Sweet & Sara's, though.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

We were planning on going to LV anyways for a friends wedding, so I told them I'd be interested if they could do it that weekend. They said no problem and I proceeded to pay in advance for three nights stay with obligation to attend the timeshare presentation.
Well..., after promises of no hard sell tactics, my wife and I endured 2.5 hours of 'no, I don't think we are interested' and fending off ever sweetened offers.
They finally released us on our way sunday at 1230pm.
We proceeded to check out via express early am monday.
Three days later I received a copy of the bill with and additional $200 worth of charges. It seems they billed us full rates as if we did not attend their sales interrogation!
When I called them on it, I got the run around with promises that a manager would review and get back to me. That was two days and three phonecalls from me ago!

#1 Consumer Comment
Maybe you should contact their main office.
AUTHOR: Jim - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, August 11, 2004POSTED: Wednesday, August 11, 2004
However, what I have found is:
1. You need to be persistant and call the main office again and again to let them know your gripe. It took me three months and a lot of time in my most recent expereince, but I did eventually receive a fair offer of compensation from them.
2. The people who show you on the tour are realestate agents who work on a commission. No sale, no commission. And yes, some are more honest than others. But from my persnal expereince, those who are not upfront, son't stay with the comapny long. However as in all realestate, you have a buyers remorse clause if you do buy and change your mind.
3. I have take tours with many companies for the "free" stuff. Nothing is free, except maybe the air you breath. Everything has a catch. I have to tell you though, that Hilton was the least aggressive of any of the companies I have toured with. You say you left after the allotted time. If you did, you shouldn't have been charged. Again, call their customer service dept. in Orlando and let them know.
That's just my opinion. If you haven't gotten any satisfaction, call them. Ask for customer relations. And then,. let us know how you made out. Objecting on this site won't get you a lot. you gotta tell them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

REVIEW: 7778 Midi-Scale Millennium Falcon
Posted 09 August 2009 - 03:43 PM
When we first saw pictures of this set, the picture and rumor topic was abuzz with discussion. "Does it have an interior?" "Any Minifigs?" We quickly settled that the set was just too small to contain any figures, and people immediately started posting that the set was pointless with no figs, that it wasn't worth it for just a model. I disagreed. I thought the set looked just like the UCS after going through the dryer a few times. So, I invite all the naysayers, or people who just aren't sure about this one, to read this review and find out if they will buy it. I realize Commander KimT already did a review of this one, but I wanted to throw my thoughts into the mix. I hope you enjoy it!
Set Name: Midi-scale Millenium Falcon
Set Number: 7778
Theme: Star Wars
Year: 2009 (second wave)
Price: USD 39.99, GBP 29.35, EUR 41.50, CDN 49.99
Pieces: 356
Minifigure: N/A
Lego Shop Description:
The most famous ship in the Star Wars™ galaxy – at an all-new scale!
It's the Millennium Falcon as you've never seen it before! Han Solo's famous starship returns as a special-edition mid-scale model. Movie-authentic details include a rotating radar dish and movable laser cannons above and below!
* A must-have special edition midi-scale Millennium Falcon!
* Dimensions: Length = 9.3 inches (23.5cm), Width = 6.7 inches (17cm), Height = 3.2 inches (8cm)!
* No minifigures included.
The Box
The box displays the MF in all its glory, with some laser bursts and random explosions in the fore- and background. Strangely, this has Clone Wars style packaging, in lieu of the the "10 year anniversary" one that all the Original Trilogy sets this year have had. An emblem lets you know this is a special edition, and a small picture and hand in the corner give you a sense of scale. The ship is flying over an Earth-like planet and the Death Star II looms in the background.
The back of the box is the same as the front, but reversed. A parts inventory is also displayed, which is most unusual for SW. This sort of highlights the fact that the set has almost zero play features to put on the box.
Part Inventory
Sorry for the bad picture. Here we can see that we get a nice variety of Light Bley, Dark Bley, Tan, and Red. We also get a trans-blue piece of tubing for the engines. One of the first things I noticed was that there are plenty of wing plates, which I am quite fond of. Two "engine pieces" and two "UFO dishes" are also included.
Ahh, the DSS. Here we have ten stickers spread across eight pieces. Seven 2x2 round light bley tiles are among the pieces that need to be stickered, as well as one 4x4 light bley round cone. There is no excuse for the tiles not to have been printed, we see printed tiles like this all the time. This set even includes six printed tiles. They may have the "hard to print on curved surfaces" argument for the three stickers that detail the cockpit, but if a piece like this can be printed, anything can, and there's no excuse for stickers in this set.
Extra Pieces
For extra pieces, we get a light bley Battle Droid Arm, a technic pin, a 1x1 dark bley round plate, a 1x1 red tile, a light bley "t-handle", a dark bley cheese slope, and a 1/2 technic pin, no friction. Nothing really special or uncommon here, but that's expected.
The Millennium Falcon
Looking at the MF in this new scale, you immediately realize how faithfully all the major details of the iconic ship have been recreated. From the front mandibles to the exhaust ports at the back, this is unmistakably the Falcon. Although small, the finished model is sturdy and misleadingly heavy for it's size. I haven't tried it yet, but I bet if you dropped it, it would come out in one piece.
In this front view picture, it's easy to notice the sloped front of the Falcon, as well as the triangular-shaped mandibles at the front. Both of these things are accomplished by hinges, and it's hard to believe they could fit it all into such a small set. The trans-clear tiles at the very front don't make much sense to me. I don't think there was a window there in the movies, and unless there's another reason, I think light bley would have worked better.
Right Side
Left Side
I don't particularly like the stickers, but the design of the ones on either side are quite good. Its too bad they'll peel off before too long. In these pictures you can also see the awesome greebling on the side of the mandibles, which really adds a lot to the look of the set.
I love the trans-blue tubing being used for the "engine blast." It's a perfect piece and colour, although that random tan brick poking out from behind it is annoying. It just seems out of place, and it have worked better if they had used light bley instead. This isn't a huge deal though. One other thing I like is how it gently slopes up from back to front with plates. I`m not sure why, but it looks cool.
With this view you can see that the shape of the set really matches up with what you see in the movies. I love all the little greebles, like Cheese slopes, 1x1s, and grill plates near the back. It really makes you feel as though you can`t look anywhere on the ship without seeing some sort of detail crammed into the small space. You can tell the designers paid a lot of attention to these sorts of details.
This is rather plain, as expected. I like the fact that TLC decided to make a proper landing gear rather than just having the ship sit on it's belly. A lot of the wing plates included in the set are used here.
"Exhaust Ports"
These printed tiles look very good, and there are six of them. I still don't understand why it would havee been much harder to print the rest of them.
"Sensor Dish"
This is put together pretty neatly. It is set on a turntable plate, so it can spin, and the dish itself is attached to a couple of droid arms which enable the dish to move up or down.
This was by far the most taxing part of the build. It took me a few times to get the stickers lined up correctly, and I'm still not happy with them (The one on the 2x2 round tile is still off-center ). In the end, I liked the look of this portion of the ship, too bad the stickers won't last.
Quad-Laser Turrets
These are really simple, there's almost nothing too them. They're basically just UFO pieces with two pairs of binoculars on each one. They do look quite good, and each one can swivel independently.
Final View of The Falcon
Build: 9/10 There were no problems, and the slightly asymmetrical nature of the ship means it's never boring.
Design: 9/10 It doesn't get much better than this. A ship done in an entirely new scale, with plenty of movie accuracy and good looks, not to mention all those greebles.
Playability: 6/10 There are zero real play features, but the fact that this is built solid and is very swooshable saves the Falcon from a lower score.
Minifigs: N/A
Price: 7/10 At 50$ Canadian, this is about 10$ more than it should be, but I've come to expect that from SW. However, without minifigs to drive up the cost, this price is pretty hard to swallow.
Total: 31/40 (7.75/10)
I really am quite fond of this set. It's detailed, tightly designed, and is definitely faithful to the movies. The cost was a bit much, but it was worth it for such a good set. More than liking the set, though, I really am intrigued by the new scale it introduced. I sincerely hope TLC continues it, as there are endless possibilities for it: A Hoth Battle diorama, with AT-ATs and Snowspeeders, a Death Star Trench run with three x-wings and Vader's Tie Advanced. Pretty much any space battle from any of the movies. No minifigures, no overly inflated costs, just awesome renditions of all the vehicles in the SW world, in a brand new scale. This is a great set to start off a scale that will hopefully catch on and continue, and, if you've got the money, I strongly encourage you to pick it up.
I hope you enjoyed my review. Comments and criticisms are welcome.

Has anyone else noticed that the front of the box is different to the one KimT photo'd? This one has a Special Edition graphic on it.

I don't really understand why anyone would buy this set instead of the Pirate Tank though. They both cost the same, but the latter includes two exclusive minifigures (with highly detailed back printing on the head and torso) and one hard to find minifigure, and some play features, and more vibrant colors.
I give this set an average, because it does still look pretty good.
EDIT: I just noticed that there was no poll yet.
Perhaps you could add one, Millacol?

P.S Good review.
P.P.S Okay, I have a problem. I rushed right through the build so I ended up with a one by four plate and a two by two plate, both in light bley.

Criticism of the set on the basis that it doesn't contain minifigs, or isn't minifig scale, is ridiculous. Lego is surely about building, not about hoarding plastic figures and selling the rest of the set on eBay..... While the minifig obsessives are of course free to pursue their hobby, criticising TLC for doing their job and producing sets for buyers to build is crazy.
If this sells well, I wonder if TLC will make a few other midi sets....

Whistler hosts Bobsleigh and Skeleton World Cup Nov. 23 and 24th
As if opening week at Whistler couldn't get any better, the resort is also hosting the IBSF Bobsleigh and Skeleton World Cup on Friday and Saturday (Nov. 23rd and 24th). Combine that with 100cm of fresh snow in the past week and opening week at Whistler-Blackcomb is off to an amazing start. Needless to say, for Americans visiting Whistler over their Thanksgiving holidays, they're in for a treat with tons of fresh snow and world class athletic events.
Return of Canadian Pride…
The World Cup event will be hosted at Whistler's Sliding Centre, on the southeast slope of Blackcomb Mountain. The Whistler Sliding Centre was originally built for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and hosted numerous events including bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton competitions. The skeleton race will also feature the return of Gold Medal winner and Canadian athlete, Jon Montgomery, famous for his beer chugging celebration as he toured Whistler Village.
More Than Just Fast Athletes…
Spectators will be able to enjoy more than just high speed athletes, as the event will also feature on-course food service, entertainment, an incredible fireworks display, and of course, an on-site beer garden. With the Bobsleigh and Skeleton World Cup taking place on Friday November 23, 2012 and Saturday November 24, 2012, the Whistler-Blackcomb official opening should be a real hit for all to enjoy.
Why not take advantage of the fresh snow throughout the week to enjoy both Whistler Mountain's early opening and Whistler-Blackcomb's official opening. Be sure to check out the latest Whistler accommodation and vacation rental deals for your entire family to enjoy.

Five years ago the Middle East and North Africa was electrified by unprecedented popular protests that heralded the start of the Arab Spring. Beginning in Tunisia popular movements swept regimes from power in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya and threatened to overthrow ruling elites across the region. Tragically, the Arab Spring has since become mired in counterrevolution and civil war with the extraordinary violence of the war in Syria, the rise of ISIS, the escalating refugee crisis, and the establishment of a new dictatorship in Egypt emblematic of the profound challenges facing the people of the region. As tumultuous events continue to unfold we present Verso's reading list of key titles addressing the developing situation in the Middle East.
The Story of the Lost Child by Elena Ferrante, translated by Ann Goldstein (Europa Editions, 2015); My Brilliant Friend (2012); The Story of a New Name (2013); Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay (2014).
Several of us in the Verso team received our diagnosis this summer from a certified medical doctor who scrutinized our exhausted faces, distracted eyes and dramatic swings of emotion: "I'm sorry. You have come down with a severe case of Ferrante fever. The worst will pass but the hunger will never fade." This fever of addiction stole sleep, stoked obsession and caused dangerous and foolish behaviour, such as crossing the road whilst reading—but it also brought new and old friends together in a happy haze of intoxication. Thus, here are some snippets from my brilliant friends that illustrate our year of reading Ferrante:
This morning, Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis announced his resignation on his blog. This is despite the "no" vote in the country's referendum on austerity measures, a result which Varoufakis calls "splendid". Varoufakis said he "was made aware of a certain preference by some Eurogroup participants, and assorted 'partners', for my... 'absence' from its meetings", and so he's resigning to help Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras reach a deal. He said he would "wear the creditors' loathing with pride".
Varoufakis's anti-austerity ideas are spelled out in his book The Global Minotaur: America, Europe and the Future of the Global Economy, published by our comrades at Zed Books. Below is the foreword, , to that book by Paul Mason, economics editor for Channel 4 News and author of Meltdown: The End of the Age of Greed.
The banks are closed, the bailout referendum is looming: Paul Mason describes the atmosphere in Greece as it prepares for the vote which will determine the triumph or defeat of the only anti-austerity government in Europe.
As Mason puts it:
If it all ends on Monday, with the Greeks voting for austerity in order to keep the euro, the first far-left party to hold office in modern Europe will be judged by its critics a failure ... If they win, on the other hand, they will be seen as heroes by opponents of austerity across Europe.
Monday 29 June. Visit the Guardian to read the article in full.

Marquez: Canelo, Chavez Have To Learn From Mistakes
By Miguel Rivera
Mexican icon Juan Manuel Marquez is hoping the next generation of Mexican fighters, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., learn from their recent defeats and mistakes in the ring.
Canelo suffered his first career defeat when he lost a twelve round decision to the far more experienced Floyd Mayweather Jr. on September 14. In September 2012, Chavez Jr. lost a twelve round decision to current WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez. Chavez then struggled to make weight for last month's fight against Bryan Vera, and won a controversial ten round decision.
"Hopefully they use that experience, fix the mistakes and use that in their training and prepare [better for the next time]. Boxing is a very difficult, sport. What just happened [with Chavez], these things happen in boxing. A controversial decision in Chavez-Vera should not be blamed on Julio. There were qualified judges there and he was just doing his job as a boxer up in the ring. In the case of Canelo, Mayweather's experience and good condition [was too much]," Marquez told Alejandro Hernandez.
"Julio has to get it in his head that this is a difficult sport, a sport of dedication, and it is his responsibility to use all of his enthusiasm [in training camp."
