Laura and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary on Saturday. We first went for a long hike across the Metacomet-Monadnock trail, enjoying the below average temps and cooling breezes.
That evening we uncorked and '85 Salon to celebrate. It's all that it should be right now, with toasty, nutty and apple aromas and deep, toasted fruit and wheat on the palate. The best part about it is that the wine is so elegant while also having the depth of Grand Cru White Burgundy (minus the randox). The flavors are long and persistent, and the mouthfeel is silky smooth. Delicious wine that lived up to the occasion.
And the best part is that we have lots and lots more years to celebrate. Getting married early has its advantages.

Lee Memorial Health System is warning you will have less access to care and longer waits to see a doctor when billions of dollars in federal budget cuts automatically kick in January 2nd.
It's called budget sequestration. It's a plan that calls for $1.2 trillion in cuts over the next ten years. That equates to about $109 billion per year over the next 10 years.
"I think people will see delays in access and care and getting appointments with physicians," said Jim Nathan, CEO Lee Memorial Health System.
Republicans and democrats must come to terms on a budget agreement before the end of the year or the government sequestration will automatically kick in on January 2, 2013.
"Hopefully it will be resolved. If not, it's going to affect us all and the impact will be devastating to a lot of people, I think because they're not expecting it," said Caroline Carcia a Medicare patient.
For Lee Memorial Health System, the cuts are even more difficult because 80-percent of their budget comes from Medicare, Medicaid and the uninsured.
"We've found $35-million for the upcoming fiscal year of the budget that the board just approved so that is a start on the journey of $125-million," said Nathan.
Meantime, the sequestration cuts are a hot topic in many political science classes on the campus of Edison State College.
"We've always been able to bail ourselves out by raising our deficit ceiling or raising our credit limit. This time we can't do that," said Edison State College political professor Laura Weir.
Weir says the sequestration could only be avoided if the republicans and democrats can agree on cuts.
Many analysts predict that won't happen until after the November election, but still many wonder if the two sides would have enough time to tackle such a complex issue.
The sequestration is also expected have big impacts on military spending and it also calls for deep cuts in education.

One of the hallmarks of any Teen Mom 2 episode is drama, and most of the time, it involves some kind of custody situation. This episode was no different in that regard. This time it was Kailyn and Jo's turn to battle it out over baby Isaac and who gets more time with him.
Of course, Kailyn and Jo weren't the only ones squabbling. Adam and Chelsea continued their on-again, off-again drama with this being an "off" week. All this while Chelsea was ALSO trying to pass her GRE test. Lucky for her, she did, but it seemed maybe touch and go for a bit.
Jenelle brought her usual drama with her mother who had refused to bail her out of jail last week. A friend came through, but Jenelle was FULL of anger and took it out on Barbara full force. Of course, as usual, it was Jace who paid the price as he was left to wail for his mommy. Sigh.
Finally there was Leah. This week was the first we have had a chance to meet Jeremy, the man we all know will become her husband and the father of her third baby. Hopefully this will work out better than Corey, but at least Corey and Leah appear to be trying to be amicable for their girls, right?
Sadly they are the only ones. Jo made no apologies for his "I get Isaac every weekend" stance, which, really, after I realized the truth, makes no sense. What father gets his kid EVERY weekend, especially, as Kailyn pointed out, when he goes out and leaves him with the grandparents? How is that fair?
Answer: It's not.
Jo was being really immature in this episode. At first glance, it seemed like Kailyn was in the wrong, but she had given Jo every weekend with her son. Can you even imagine? Weekends are when we go to amusement parks, sleep in and cuddle in the morning, watch cartoons, and go to brunch. Kailyn would never have had any of that with her baby son. That's not fair in the least. That's horribly unfair, in fact.
So why was Jo being so hard on Kailyn? He was lucky he'd had as many weekends as he had! To me, it seems like Jo often gives Kailyn a hard time just because he can. He knows how nervous she gets and he seems to love to torment her. Even last year after they slept together, he acted like a complete jerk. Maybe he is still getting her back for the way she once treated him, but no matter what the reason, he is being terribly immature and it isn't good for the former couple's son. I hope at some point he gets his head on straight and stops tormenting Kailyn.
As far as I can tell, she is in the right here and Jo is being one big crybaby.
Who do you think is right in this fight?
Image via MTV
how is she bing jealousy when jo has his kid he goes out just about every weekend so why should he have him on that weekend not fair to kailyn at all
I don't think K should be going by whatever the "standard" is but figuring out that during the time Jo has Isaac he is leaving him with someone else espeically if it's to go party is something else
i work 6 on 2 off..i don't have a "weekend off" when i do it is once every other mth, they need to go back to court and get a normal custody order. I enjoy what time I do have with my kids. Jo is just a spoil ass man I would go back and get it to where he is an eow parent like everyone else.

Joseph Stalin gained the effective leadership of Russia in 1929. Stalin's time as leader of Russia was to gain fame for three reasons:1. The Five Year Plans 2. Collectivisation 3. The Purges
But what do we know about Stalin?
he was born in 1879
he came from a poor background; his father was a cobbler and his mother was a peasant
his real surname was Djugasvili
he did well at school and won a scholarship to go to a seminary where priests were trained
it was at this seminary that Stalin turned to Marxism
he became a follower of Lenin and went to secret meetings and distributed leaflets
between 1902 and 1913 he was arrested 8 times and exiled to Siberia. He escaped 7 times!
in prison he adopted the name Stalin which translated as "Man of Steel". He felt that it would be good for his image
he was a very good organiser and the part he played in the November 1917 Revolution was probably small. But the skills he gained while helping to organise the Bolshevik Party were to prove invaluable
after 1917, he was rewarded with a number of seemingly unimportant party positions which nobody else wanted. But they gave Stalin a perfect insight into who could be trusted to support him and who could not
Stalin was seen as dull by the intellectual elite of the Bolshevik Party. They all made a fatal mistake in assuming that he was stupid.
When Stalin became the undisputed leader of Russia in 1929, he realised that Russia was far behind the west and that she would have to modernise her economy very quickly if she was to survive. Also a strong economy would lead to a strong military if Russia was going to survive threats from external forces. A modernised Russia would also provide the farmers with the machinery they needed if they were going to modernise their farms - such as tractors.
The Five Year Plans:
Stalin introduced the Five Year Plans. This brought all industry under state control and all industrial development was planned by the state. The state would decide what would be produced, how much would be produced and where it should be produced. An organisation called Gosplan was created to plan all this out.
The first five year plan was from 1928 to 1932.
The second five year plan was from 1933 to 1937.
The third five year plan was from 1938 to 1941 when the war interrupted it.
Each plan set a target which industries had to meet. Each factory was set a target which it had to meet. The targets were completely unrealistic and could not be met but vast improvements were made. The emphasis was on heavy industries such as coal, oil, iron and steel and electricity.
The following table gives some idea of what progress was made when the base line figure is 1927 - before the five year plans. The target for both plans is in brackets.
35 million tons
64 mt (75 mt target)
|128 mt (152 mt target)
12 million tons
|21 mt (22 mt target)
|29 mt (47 mt target)
|Iron Ore
5 million tons
|12 mt (19 mt target)
|Pig Iron
3 million tons
|6 mt (10 mt target)
|15 mt (16 mt target)
4 million tons
|6 mt (10 mt target)
|18 mt (17 mt target)
mt = millions of tons
Though these appear excellent results, it must be remembered that the base line for 1927 was small by west European standards. However, the improvements did represent a massive jump forward.
The second five year plan continued to emphasise heavy industries but there was also a commitment to communication systems such as railways and new industries such as the chemical industry.
The third five year plan put an emphasis on weapons production (which required an input from heavy industries) as war did seem to be approaching.
Stalin brought in experts from foreign countries to help them, and he introduced single managers to run factories whereas one of the main beliefs of Lenin had been the running of factories by soviets (workers councils who would come to a joint decision on how things should be done). These managers were directly responsible for fulfilling the targets set for their factory. Good managers were well rewarded. Unsuccessful managers could pay a severe price for failure.
For all the apparent success of the five year plans, there were serious flaws. Parts for industrial machinery were hard to get and some factories were kept idle for weeks on end simply because they did not have parts to repair worn out machines. Ex-peasants were used as skilled workers. This simply did not add up. Despite their valiant efforts, many machines were damaged because those using them had no idea on how to correctly use these machines. There were also no parts to repair this damage.
Factories took to inflating their production figures and the products produced were frequently so poor that they could not be used - even if the factory producing those goods appeared to be meeting its target. The punishment for failure was severe. A manager could be executed as an "enemy of the people". Workers could be sent to a prison camp in Siberia. Nobody was allowed to condemn or criticise the five year plans as they were Stalins idea.
Life for the workers:
Life was very hard for industrial workers. Their pay was poor and there was barely anything they could spend their money on even if they had any. Consumer goods were simply not produced. Working conditions were very dangerous and the hours were long. The homes that were provided were poor. So why did they work so hard?
the young were still idealistic. The whole concept of communism was still intoxicating. Stalin was known as "Uncle Joe" and they were willing to suffer a few years of hardship if they were going to get to the promised land of a better society.
people were encouraged to work hard by propaganda which bombarded the workers in all directions. This played on the belief that if most did it, the rest would follow on as they did not want to be seen as different.
rewards were given to the best workers. Groups of workers were encouraged to compete against each other. The most famous worker was Alexei Stakhanov. He was said to have mined 102 tons of coal in one shift. This was fourteen times the amount expected from one person. Logically if he could do it, so could others. To be rewarded for hard work meant that you were a Stakhanovite. In fact, Stakhanov was not a popular man with the workers - for very good reasons, as this put the burden on them of working harder. Stakhanov, in fact, was frequently not mining after this record. He was allowed to tour Russia to be greeted as a hero and to give lectures on how to work hard and there is no clear evidence that he did what was claimed.
another way of persuading the workers to work hard was to pay by results. Successful managers were also paid more though whether this extra money was shared by the workers in a factory or mine is unknown.
punishment was also used by those who did not work hard. The fear of the labour camps was usually enough to get people working hard. Absenteeism from work was punishable by being fined or having your ration book taken from you. In 1940, it carried a prison sentence. All workers had to carry labour books which stated whether you had worked hard or not. Bad comments from your manager could also lead to prison
a lot of hard physical labour was done by prisoners. It did not matter if they died - only that the task was completed. The fact that these people were in prison, was enough for the government to use them as it saw fit.
For all the problems and hardship caused by the Five Year Plans, by 1941, Stalin had transformed Russia into a world class industrial power. This was to be vital for Russia as the war was about to test her to the extreme.

Cruella is a striking,deep scarlett red lipstick pencil from Nars. I really like the intense,dramatic allure that it has. I absolutely adore the Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencils. The texture is a smooth matte. Cruella is a must have if you collect red lipsticks. It is bold and beautiful!

Cruella is one of the most complimentary reds I've come across for my NC25, light olive skin. It's both bright and deep, without being garish. Attention getting, but in a proper way! I think it's a truly neutral red, but it might lean on the cool side just a bit.
I'm very much a lipstick girl, but I quite like this matte pencil. Easy to line and fill in, the lasting power is great, and I haven't experienced any bleeding. Although it is very matte, it doesn't dry my lips out and has a nice cool feeling when applied... it's almost like a stain in my opinion.
Love it! *PIC*

I was looking for a flattering red lipstick that wasn't too washed out. This is definitely red and will stand out, but it's a gorgeous color and gets me lots of compliments! The pencil is really easy to apply and you don't really need a lipliner for it - bleeding is very minimal, but it does happen after a while, so I use a clear lipliner outside my lips if I'm going to be out for a long time. I put a gloss on top of it because the matte color feels dry, but I think it feels lighter than regular lipsticks and it definitely lasts for a while, even while I'm drinking - I usually just have to freshen the very middle of my lips every so often. (I don't apply the gloss all the way to the edges, which I think helps it stay.) Red takes a lot more careful maintenance than other colors, but I think this product is easier to use than most.

Cruella is the true classic red I associate with the glamorous Hollywood lips from the 1940s. The color has an cool undertone and isnt too bright, if you apply multiple layers the color darkens and the cool tones become minimized, which is perfect for me since cool colors tend to clash with my warm colored complexion. The texture of the liner is soft, which makes application smooth and easy. Unfortunately the liner smudges very easily, the staying power is not that great and it wears off unevenly. It lasts through a beverage but it left a hideous ring around my lips after a meal. It also made my lips very dry. I love the color but hate everything else. For reference I have medium warm NC30 skin, brown hair and eyes.
This is my first velvet matte pencil from Nars. I was a bit worried at first when I purchased this sight unseen from eBay but it arrived today and I'm in love. Doesn't have the gross smell that Nars lipsticks have (or perhaps the one I had went bad on me, not sure), isn't drying, and the color is fantastic - the perfect shade of red! Cruella has some blue tones in it so my teeth don't look as white as they do against other red lip colors, but the portability and formula of this pencil makes up for it. I haven't had any problems with the cap falling off of my pencil, and I moisturize my lips excessively so I didn't find this drying at all. Actually, I found it quite creamy, soft, and immensely pigmented. I purchased mine on eBay for below retail cost, but if I absolutely had to, I'd pay full price for this. For reference, I am NC30/golden undertones, BE 2.0 light and I have pigmented lips.

Okay, so I finally bought a red lipstick and the girl at Sephora said this color was pretty flattering to almost every skintone. I was fairly hesitant because the price is high but I went ahead with it anyways and took a chance. This was my first red lipstick so it took a little getting used to, but the color is marvelous and very pretty. It is pretty drying. I always seem to have some bleeding issues along the bottom lip, but it's usually after a few hours. I tend to line with the pencil and fill out my lips with a brush. It stays on there really well, but applying a gloss just ruins it. Eating with it is also crazy. I wish this color came in a more creamy form.

Just bought this lip pencil today...it is a lovely red and seems to last long. it is a little drying but how else is it supposed to stay on your lips. i think it is a good staple. it looks nice on my skin tone (naomi campbell type) but it is a little bright...but red is bright.

Well, I love the colour of this. It is a deep, cool toned red (crimson)....darker and deeper than an old favorite, MAC's Russian Red. I am a cool toned ppp. This is matte & slightly drying. I have had no problems with colour bleeding, but if you eat anything that is even remotely greasy (or add lipbalm) it will wear off...otherwise the lasting power is quite good! I think I do not love the big fat pencil format...too much waste when you sharpen for my liking - it does make lining the lips easier when freshly sharpened though. The lid wants to come off when it shouldn't. This was $30+tax CAD at Holt Renfrew. I will not repurchase as I have found better elsewhere.

i'm an nc35, asian and this lipliner/lipstick works well for me from day to night. the matte effect is perfect as it won't bleed nor stain the teeth. works well with my chanel blush orchid rose for an understated elegance

They didn't have Transeurope Express available and so I bought this cause of the color is truly a scarlet red. This is truly drying to the lips, but it is a true matte. Love this color for my NC42 skin. I find I can change the hint of the red when I put a certain color gloss first and then top it with Cruella. It also helps from my lips from drying and it looks more creamy that way. I also love putting this on top of MAC's CCB. Would not repurchase cause I can just buy a red lipstick that doesn't need so much work and is creamier than this.

Command line errors
"No rule to make target"
If the only IDE you have installed is Carbide.c++, command line builds for WINSCW (Windows Single process with CodeWarrior) target fail with a bunch of "No rule to make target" errors. If you need command line compilation for this target, you have to set up the environment variables as follows:
1. Select Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables (or: Start Menu > Windows Explorer > right click on My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables).
2. Add a new system variable called CWFolder. Set its value to Carbide.c++ base install directory (the default is "C:\Program Files\Nokia\Carbide.c++ Express v1.2").
3. Add the following value to Path:
4. Add new system variable called MWCSym2Includes. Add the following paths to its value (separate them with semicolons):
%CWFolder%\x86Build\Symbian_Support\Win32-x86 Support\Headers\Win32 SDK
5. Add a new system variable called MWSym2Libraries. Add the following paths to its value (separate them with semicolons):
%CWFolder%\x86Build\Symbian_Support\Win32-x86 Support\Libraries\Win32 SDK
6. Add a new system variable called MWSym2LibraryFiles. Add the following libraries to its value (separate them with semicolons):
After setting up the environment variables, you can verify that the command line tools function correctly by following these steps:
1. Open the Command Prompt.
2. If you have several SDKs installed on your computer, set S60 3rd Edition SDK FP1 as the default device with the command
"devices -setdefault @S60_3rd_FP1:com.nokia.S60"
Otherwise, you can skip this step.
3. cd into
4. Type:
"bldmake bldfiles".
5. Type:
"abld build"
("ABLD.BAT build", to be precise). Notice that the build created in this phase is a WINSCW debug build, viewable only in the emulator.
6. If your environment has been set up correctly, the build goes through without errors.
7. To run the Hello World Basic application in the emulator, issue the epoc command. After a while, the emulator screen opens
8. If this is the first time you run the emulator, you will have to set locale information.
9. Navigate into Menu > Installed.
10. Run HelloWorld. If you are able to do this, the application has been compiled and can be run on the emulator. In other words, the command line tools of your SDK installation are OK.
Tip: It is not necessary to restart the emulator every time you make changes to your application. Just exit from the application, re-compile it, and manually re-run it from the emulator's menu. However, there is an exception to this that concerns resource files.

So this post is entirely belated!
As many of you know, I hit up Lily Dale (a Spiritualist community in upstate NY) this summer and took a bunch of courses, one of which was tea leaf reading. The instructor was a very talented reader, and she read my cup for me - and came up with many more interesting things than I did when trying to read my own!
In retrospect, even though it's only been few months, she was quite spot on. She said I'd be a bit overwhelmed with school, travel a lot very soon, not be worried at all about my love life, and that I should work a lot on self-promotion. It's funny, because I actually think that the picture of the tea leaves in my cup are the spitting image of France (complete with tiny offshore island), which is one of the places I have been in the past few months. It's all come to pass.
Apparently with tea leaf reading, we can read what's in the cup, but also the stuff on our saucers. Perfectly round cups are preferred. I can say I've definitely become a tea snob within the last few months - no powdered tea bags for me, thank you very much - just the real deal!
Some tips for tea leaf reading, in case you're new to it:
- Use only a teaspoon of tea leaves, in a small round cup like the one pictured above.
- Sip happily and calmly!
- Leave a little tiny bit of liquid.
- Flip cup over onto saucer, removing liquid & loose leaf bits.
- Turn your cup right side up once more, and check out what's there!
- You can read it as one huge symbol or lots of tiny symbols, but it's likely that what sticks out the most to you will be the most important aspect of the reading for you.
- Try to use your own personal interpretations. For me, the owl is a deeply sacred animal and one of my spirit guides, but in many tea leaf symbolism books they list the owl as a symbol of death/bad times.
- Have fun!

HSBC joins the M&A mix
HSBC has the green light to make an offer for South Africa's fourth-largest bank.
It's by no means a done deal -- nothing is in South Africa these days -- but Nedbank, the South African bank majority owned by insurer Old Mutual (ODMTY), is HSBC's (HBC) deal to lose.
HSBC beat out rival Standard Chartered (SCBFF) for the right to hammer out a formal offer to acquire South Africa's fourth-largest bank over the next two months. I think HSBC will pull it off.
Old Mutual owns 51% of Nedbank and the insurer is a motivated seller because the company is selling assets to pay down debt. HSBC won't be able to gain 100% of Nedbank's outstanding shares because South African law reserves a percentage of shares for black investors, but the company should be able to gain the 70% of shares that it has said will let it achieve its strategic goals.
And what are those goals?
First, but not foremost, HSBC wants to gain a foothold in Africa's largest economy.
Second, and more importantly, HSBC wants to stake a claim to finance the increasingly important trade between Africa and Asia. Roughly a third of Africa's exports, mostly minerals and other commodities, head for Asia these days.
Ten years ago, only 1% of Africa's exports went to China. Today, China is the destination for 10% of the continent's exports, and with China investing in Africa's commodities as fast as it can identify deals and funding big infrastructure projects like the proposed Durban-to-Johannesburg high-speed rail line, that Africa-China traffic will continue to grow.
And now that HSBC has defined itself as an Asian bank, it can't afford not to have a presence in Africa.
The price looks reasonable at an estimated $8 billion. And I think HSBC will manage the sensitive politics of South Africa well enough to ink the deal.
As of August 30, I'm keeping my target price for this Jubak Picks Portfolio holding at $67 per share by June 2011.
At the time of this writing, Jim Jubak didn't own shares of any company mentioned in this post in his personal account.

Jessie Ware Nails It
British singer-songwriter Jessie Ware's stock is on the rise. In addition to receiving rave reviews for Devotion, her debut album that comes out this month, Ware has booked the Big Three of summer festival slots and will perform at Coachella next weekend, followed by Glastonbury in June and Lollapalooza in August. This week, Ware is in New York for two sold-out shows at the Music Hall of Williamsburg and Webster Hall—and last night's launch party for Paper magazine's "Beautiful People" issue, for which she plays cover star. A sucker for eyeliner and big gold hoops, as we learned in Style.com's Spring Beauty Guide, the songstress displayed a penchant for nail art, too, as she posed on the red carpet with a V-shaped moon manicure—or a "skinny V," as nail guru Jin Soon Choi called a similar design she created for Prabal Gurung's Fall show. Thoughts on Ware's graphic black-and-white manicure motif?

Testimonial: Intuitive Painting with Julie Claire on Upper Canyon Road
"It was a day out of time for me, an opportunity to focus on letting go of perfectionism and trusting risk in a safe and creative environment. I found it thrilling, satisfying, and a whole lot of fun!"
- Melissa NM
People often say: "But I don't know how to paint." You don't have to know how. Julie facilitates an environment where each time you paint without knowing how or what to do, something comes through anyway. Each time we step up to paint, something unique and unforeseen emerges.
Painting large scale using basic brushes and acrylic paints, these transformative experiences help women and men find freedom from the inner critic, learn to trust their inner voice and renew their playful spirit. This happens in sacred space and invites a practice of letting go of the need to make something happen, the need to be in control. This is a great way to experience beginner's mind and the magic of
saying YES.
Have you always wanted to paint? Has it been years since you touched a paintbrush? Julie Claire's intuitive painting workshops and private sessions inspire people to ignite their creativity and connect with their bold, adventurous self.
We all need time to reconnect, rejuvenate and be inspired. Whether you are experiencing process painting for the first time or the hundredth time, you are invited into the studio for a creativity experience that is playful and soulful, unexpected and colorful.
This Santa Fe art studio is located on Upper Canyon Road, along the Santa Fe River in an old and beautiful natural setting close to downtown Santa Fe. Julie also has a large and sun-filled art studio in El Rito New Mexico where she lives.
No painting experience necessary.
Julie Claire is an artist and a trained creativity and life coach working in Santa Fe and El Rito New Mexico. She primarily works with women and men at midlife, who want to live, work and create from a deeply heart-connected place. She has been leading workshops and facilitating creative experiences for over five years.
Each painting is really an evolution of feelings, stories and focus. Perhaps you could call this process "life painting". As we paint, so we live.

CHICAGO (AP) - Christian Thomas and Joe Crisman both scored 17 points to pace Loyola of Chicago over Illinois State 79-69 on Sunday.
Loyola (9-15, 4-8 Missouri Valley) raced out to a 15-5 lead, hitting six of its first seven shots, including four treys - two by Thomas. The Ramblers cruised to a 37-20 halftime lead.
A 7-0 run by Illinois State (13-11, 6-6), including a trey by Nick Zeisloft, cut its deficit to nine at the 14-minute mark of the second. But Loyola responded with a 7-0 run of its own and its lead never dipped into single digits again.
Loyola shot 55 percent from the floor and made 8 of 16 from beyond the arc. Nick Osborne and Milton Doyle both added 14 points.
Paris Lee led Illinois State with 14 points and Daishon Knight added 10.

Hylands Arnica Montana 30X 50 Tablets
Hyland's Arnica Montana 30X is a homeopathic medicine that provides relief for bruising and muscle soreness. Arnica Montana is often used to ease muscular soreness due to overexertion. Arnica montana is the primary remedy for new, traumatic injuries-including bruises caused by impact with blunt objects (from simple contusions to concussions), early stages of sprains and strains, and bruise-like soreness after muscular exertion (such as physically-taxing work, athletics, or childbirth). The symptoms typically feel worse from touch and motion. Arnica is also helpful for controlling soreness, bleeding, and tissue-bruising related to surgery and dental work.
In recent years, homeopathic medicine has been sold increasingly in combination formulas, to provide a group of remedies to alleviate a condition. Hyland's offers their top-selling 29 single remedies that provide more individualized treatment for specific ailments. It's sometimes preferable to treat your condition with a singular constitutional remedy.
Hyland's Homeopathic Medicines are manufactured according to the standards set forth in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. They offer unique formulations and use only the highest quality materials in the preparation of their products. Hyland's product line spans 3,500 items - from single remedies to combination medicines.
George Hyland was the first of many pharmacists to lead the company bearing his name. His passion for safe & natural medicines that bring swift, effective relief is still the driving force at Hyland's today. In 1903, the year Hyland's was founded as a Los Angeles pharmacy, homeopathy was standard medical practice in the United States. During the first half of the century, despite the medicine's effectiveness, cultural and political factors pushed it from the mainstream.
Throughout the decades Hyland's never lost sight of the need for natural medicines that were strong in relieving symptoms but gentle in the way they worked. Nor did the company lose touch with the many insightful doctors and pharmacists who dispensed the medicine, or with the consumers who continued to use it and benefit from it. As countless conventional medicines developed by others proved to produce negligible, complicated or even harmful results, the need for natural medicines that work without side effects is increasing and homeopathic medicines are moving back into the mainstream.
The active ingredients in Hyland's homeopathic medicines work by stimulating the most effective healing force known - the body's own natural defenses - and are therefore not heavy or overpowering. The medicines are virtually free of side effects and can be taken by nearly anyone at any time, from infants to the elderly, including anyone taking prescription medications.
In addition to its century-long commitment to make safe & natural homeopathic medicines readily available, Hyland's has been a leader in innovations that answer the changing health needs of the modern world. Hyland's Teething Tablets, Calms Forté, Sniffles 'n Sneezes 4Kids, Restful Legs and many others are popular "combination" medicines that focus the power of homeopathy on a particular set of symptoms. Hyland's pharmacists developed each one by carefully selecting a few specific homeopathic ingredients from among thousands, and combining them in effective medicines. Hyland's array of combination medicines provides relief from the symptoms of most common ailments.
Hyland's broad base of customers includes many who discovered the company's medicines after lengthy and often painful searches for answers to their health problems. Their words flow into the company daily and tell a common story of frustration relief and gratitude.
"Tired of medicines with side effects as along as my arm…""…I was thinking, I can't live like this…""…so frustrated taking my daughter to the doctor…" "…we had a serious need for natural medicine that was safe and that worked. No one listened except Hyland's." "…it worked instantly." "…thanks for the peace of mind."
As prescription drugs become more prevalent and complex, and the costs of health care continue to skyrocket, the need for medicines that are natural, affordable, effective and available without a prescription is greater than ever. These factors have positioned Hyland's at the forefront of a common-sense health movement and ushered in what is fast becoming the most exciting time in its long and successful history.

Tanner Fellowship Program 2013 - 2104
The Tanner Fellowship was created by the friends and family of Tanner Cornwell to honor the memory of Tanner whose short but extraordinary life touched many people. This award is intended to encourage students to enlarge their capacities to make a positive and creative mark on the world by enabling them to design and pursue educational experiences not otherwise available to them.
Fellowship activities may be carried out during the summer months, January break or an academic semester, but must be completed by March of the year following the award of the fellowship. The project/educational experience may take place anywhere in the U.S. or abroad. "Project/educational experience" may be thought of in very broad terms ranging from a completely independent project to a project working with a faculty mentor to an internship or some other more structured experience. The monetary award may be used to directly support the project/educational experience (e.g. travel, lodging, etc.) or it may be used to replace summer earnings while the student pursues the particular project/educational experience.
Tanner Fellows are expected to attend Moving-Up Day to receive the award. In addition, Tanner Fellows give a public oral presentation in March of the year following the award of the fellowship and are expected to submit a permanent record of their fellowship activities. This record may take a form appropriate to the project/experience, e.g. a written report, photo essay, film, artist's portfolio, etc. At the completion of the project, Tanner Fellows are expected to account for how fellowship funds were spent and return any unused funds.
How to Apply:
Submit the following to the Academic Dean's Office (Vilas 103) no later than midnight, Monday, February 10, 2014:
- A two-page proposal outlining the project/educational experience and why this particular project/experience makes sense for you.
- A one-page, itemized estimate of the costs of the proposed project/educational experience.
- A summary of other grants and/or fellowships through which funding is being sought for the same or related projects.
- Two letters of recommendation, each from an appropriate faculty or staff member who, ideally, is familiar with what you intend to do with the fellowship.
- An unofficial transcript from the registrar.
A committee will review these materials and interview chosen candidates in order to reach a decision. Applicants will be notified by campus mail by mid-April whether or not their fellowship application has been approved.

The global magnesium market has undergone a "fundamental" shift since 2005, making U.S. anti-dumping duties on Russian magnesium unnecessary, Russian producer VSMPO-Avisma Corp. said.
Since the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) last looked at these duties, "there have been fundamental changes in the world and U.S. magnesium markets," VSMPO counsel John M. Gurley, an attorney with Arent Fox LLP, told the commission this week in testimony urging the repeal of the anti-dumping orders.
The duties, which are being revisited by the ITC as part of a standard five-year sunset review, apply to pure and alloyed Russian and alloyed Chinese magnesium. In the five years since the U.S. Department of Commerce put the duties in place, the Russian magnesium sector especially has undergone significant changes, said Gurley, who only addressed the Russian duties in his testimony.

Early lead by Owls forces Evergreen to play catch up
December 19, 2007
Klamath Falls, OR - Jenna Ball of Oregon Tech connected on three 3-point field goals early in the first half to help the Owls jump out to an early 18-8 lead over Evergreen. OIT scored a 78-60 victory over the visiting Geoducks at Danny Miles Court.
The loss for Evergreen is six in a row and drops them to 2-10 overall and 1-3 in CCC action.
OIT is 9-3 on the season and an even 2-2 in Cascade Conference play.
Tech would extend the first half lead to 15 points, but Evergreen would scrap back on an 8-0 run to cut the lead to seven at 29-22. Both teams would trade buckets and go in at the half 43-29 Lady Owls.
Oregon Tech would keep the lead in double digits for most of the second half before Evergreen's Molly Clark (Sr. Boise, ID) would hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 10 points at 42-32. Evergreen would eventually cut the lead again to only seven points at 44-37, but could get no closer.
A fast break lay-up and a three point play by Amanda Johnston got the Lady Owls going again. Back-to-back buckets by OIT players would put the Owls up 18 points and cruise to a final score of 78-60.
Evergreen had four players in double figure points led by Kristi Auckland with 13. Clark would add 12 and Jennifer Solberg and Rosiland Lee finished with 10 each.
Amanda Johnston of OIT scored a career high 23 points and grabbed three rebounds. Jenna Ball scored 16 points while Crystal Idrogo tallied 13 points.
The Geoducks play next on December 28th in a non-conference league home game at 5:30. Visiting NAIA school Dordt College (2-7) of Sioux Center, IA will be making a tour of the west coast.

An interesting single cask whisky bottled at cask strength in 2011 by The Whisky Exchange. Lochside produced both grain and malt whisky from its opening in 1957 until the early 1970s and this is a 'single blend' using only whisky from the distillery. Unusually, the whisky was blended before ageing, with the mix of grain and malt maturing in the same cask for 46 years. A very rare style from this now closed distillery.

What Verizon's Entry Into Canada Means
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
News has swirled fast that American wireless carrier, Verizon (NYSE: VZ), is considering a purchase that will take the company to Canada. In the northern country, three key communications conglomerates control 90% of the wireless market. The question remains whether or not Verizon can gain market share and recoup costs. The other question is what kind of a financial impact the three competitors would face from the entry of Verizon.
The potential deal
Verizon is interested in acquiring Wind Mobile, one of three new wireless companies in Canada trying to compete with the giants. Wind Mobile has over 600,000 subscribers, which gives it only a fraction of the estimated 26.9 million wireless subscribers in Canada. More complicated is the ownership structure of Wind Mobile, which could cause Verizon headaches, or make the company overpay for Wind.
Wind Mobile is 65% owned by Orascom Telecom and 35% owned by founder and CEO, Anthony Lacarera. VimpelCom owns 51.1% of Orascom and is pushing for a sale of Wind Mobile. VimpelCom is expected to seek $500 million for its stake in Wind Mobile. Verizon may have to pay more than that to acquire the whole company. Other estimates see Verizon needing to put $1 billion-$2 billion into the spectrum in upcoming auctions.
The three giants
In Canada, the three leading telecommunications companies have a 90% market share. These three companies, which are all traded in the United States, are Bell Canada (NYSE: BCE), Rogers Communications (NYSE: RCI), and Telus Corporation (NYSE: TU). These are Verizon's potential rivals.
Bell Canada is the largest communications company in Canada, with the No. 1 television network in the country. The company gets more revenue from the television and internet side. In fiscal 2012, wireless made up 32% of the company's $19.98 billion in revenue. In 2012, Bell had 7.8 million wireless subscribers. The company's No. 1 goal is to accelerate its wireless. Plans to expand the company's market-dominant 4G LTE position are underway. Wireless revenue increased 6.5% in fiscal 2012, and the company increased its wireless customer base by 3.4%.
Rogers will provide the most competition for Verizon. The company is Canada's largest wireless company, with over 9 million customers. Rogers got 58% of its fiscal 2012 revenue from its wireless segment. Wireless revenue in fiscal 2012 was $7.3 billion. Along with a dominant position in wireless and cable (26% of revenue), Rogers owns a nice portfolio of sports teams and assets that I previously wrote about.
The third leading company in Canada is Telus. Surprisingly, Verizon had a partial ownership stake in Telus until 2004. Telus had 7.7 million wireless customers in fiscal 2012. The company also sees a large portion of revenue (54%) from its wireless segment. Wireless revenue increased 7% in fiscal 2012, which was the best of the three companies. Telus has coverage available to 99% of Canadians and also saw big gains in internet subscribers (+5.7%) and television subscriptions (+33%) in fiscal 2012. Despite its third position and smallest market capitalization, Telus is posting impressive gains.
Canada wants competition
Back in 2008, Canada auctioned off spectrum for new entries into the wireless field. None of the three giants were allowed to bid in the auction. The three companies that won spectrum were Wind, Public Mobile, and Mobilicity.
The problem is, no one has been able to compete with the three telecom giants, despite the Canadian government's efforts. Wind is now up for sale. Public Mobile was acquired by private equity, and Mobilicity was almost swallowed by the big three. Telus attempted to acquire Mobilicity, but was blocked by the government as it would have given the new spectrum to the company.
Canada eased restrictions for foreign investment. The government now allows foreign ownership in a telecommunications company if it has less than 10% market share. This allows an acquirer like Verizon to buy out Wind Mobile. However, this prevents Verizon from going after a larger company, like Telus, or growing too fast and gaining on rivals. Essentially, Verizon will be capped at 10% market share maximum unless the government changes legislation.
How Verizon can win
Verizon is the No. 1 wireless carrier in the United States. At the end of April, Verizon had a 36.3% market share in the United States, versus a 26.3% share from rival AT&T. With this dominant position, Verizon enjoys a stable flow of cash that could help it build out in Canada. More importantly, Verizon also has good relationships with phone providers, which could help it to gain exclusive rights to certain phones and increase Wind's market share.
Verizon would need to be dominant in the 2014 spectrum auction. Bids are due by September 2013, so Verizon will have to move fast if a deal is appropriate. The company may also consider trying to buy out Mobilicity or Public Mobile to create a more dominant fourth company and get closer to a starting base of one million customers.
Verizon is smart to enter the Canadian market, as it is adjacent to its market dominance in the United States. However, the worry is the price Verizon will pay to acquire Wind Mobile and additional spectrum. Others have failed at competing with the giants. Shaw Communications, a large Canadian company, recently cancelled plans for the wireless segment and sold its spectrum to Rogers.
Verizon is a "buy" regardless of whether or not the company enters Canada. If it doesn't go north, it will still have the No. 1 position in the United States and a huge cash flow that will continue to be used for acquisitions or returned to shareholders. Analysts expect the company to post only 4% revenue gains in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014, leaving plenty of room for upside with new deals or product launches.
On the Canadian side, the three rivals should not be too worried about Verizon's entry. I have long loved Rogers Communications for its diversification of media assets and ownership of its sports portfolio. As the wireless leader, Rogers could have the most subscribers to lose, yet also has the best defense for revenue lost. Telus, as No. 3, probably has the most to lose in the Verizon entry. With over 50% of revenue coming from wireless, Telus needs to keep its seven million subscribers. Bell Canada is the largest complete company, but gets the majority of its revenue from wireless. Wireless revenue declined 3.8% in fiscal 2012 to $10.2 billion. The company's 50% revenue from wireless makes it a more risky play.

An elegant, attractive Brézème wine that reveals aromas and flavours of nuts and orchard fruit prior to a clean, dry finish. Benefits from decanting and should not be served too chilled. Ideal as an aperitif or with seafood, fish or poultry.
Dark, concentrated, traditional Syrah with lots of spice and tobacco flavours and good dark, plumy fruit. Made very much in the uncompromising style of a classic Northern Rhône, not unlike Crozes Hermitage.
The old-vine cuvée has a darker ruby/purple color and offers a gorgeous concoction of lush black cherries, raspberries, and loamy soil notes with some Provencal herbs and licorice. It is full-bodied, fleshy, and totally seductive and voluptuous. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
With subtle aromas of white peaches, acacia flower and apricots, this wine is medium-bodied and crisp with a long, powerful finish.
This refreshingly oak-free white Châteauneuf is one of the best around!
"The charismatic mayor of Chateauneuf du Pape, Jean-Pierre Boisson, bottles early and makes some of the most delicious and alluring wines of the appellation. They are not meant for long-term aging, but rather to be drunk in their first 5-8 years of life."
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
This terrific Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc, from a world-renowned estate, is made from a blend of Clairette and Roussanne - it has a fragrant, citrus bouquet and supple, stone fruit palate.
"The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape reveals the vintages peppery, earthy spiciness along with notes of forest floor, root vegetables, black cherries, and meat. This rich, medium to full-bodied effort possesses moderately soft tannin as well as good body, depth, and richness. It is a strong effort that should age nicely for 15+ years." RP91. Drink 2008-2023.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate.
"Looking at the reds and perfumed and beautifully Provencal, the 2011 Chateauneuf-du-Pape has rocking aromatics of kirsch liqueur, lavender, garrigue, licorice and saddle leather to go with a medium-bodied, supple and nicely textured profile. I'd like to see more mid-palate here, but this is all about up-front fruit. Filling in nicely with air (tasted twice from multiple bottles), it should be enjoyed over the coming 7-8 years. Drink now-2021." 91/100.
Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate - Oct 2013.
Clairette de Die: 'Tradition' - a gentle sparkling wine low in alcohol with a light, creamy mousse, delicate floral aromas and a refreshing palate of white table grapes.
Serve chilled as an aperitif or versatile partner to cake, strawberries or (traditionally) walnuts.
Crémant de Die Brut - a light, dry sparkling wine with aromas of orchard fruit preceding a palate of russet apples and pears underscored by minerally nuances followed by a fresh, clean finish.
Yapp Brothers are members of 'The Bunch', a group of Britain's best independent wine merchants.

Review written by volunteer Robert D.
The final book in Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan Trilogy is out! Goliath picks up where the last book, Behemoth, left off. Deryn and Alek have left Constantinople in the Leviathan, a British airship made from a genetically engineered whale with a weaponized ecosystem at the crew's command. They begin making their way towards Russia, which is England's ally and one of the great Darwenist powers of Europe in this this alternate World War I setting. In Russia, they meet a certain Clanker (technology-user) scientist who claims to have a weapon that will end all wars.
For those who have read the first two books, picking this one up is a foregone conclusion. For those who haven't yet checked out the now complete Leviathan Trilogy, do so! Westerfeld has done a great job in adapting the events of World War I for this alternate universe. For people interested in Steampunk, Dieselpunk, and Biopunk this is a great introductory novel!
