- Great ExperienceGriffDined on 9/15/2014Went there for a follow up dinner interview with a potential employer. Some of the tables were well separated to allow for private discussions and the noise level was just loud enough that nobody can hear you but you can hear each other. Service was great and casual with an upscale flair. We both had the Pork Chop and it was great however, it was thick and a little under done in the middle for my taste. I would go there again without hesitation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food, short menuWestcoastNewYorkerDined on 9/6/2014Cozy space, with impressive 'Chilhuly-like' jelly fish lamps over the bar. The menu is very short, based on local fresh foods. The plates are just the right size, so you're not too full for desert. Parking is on the street, in a residential area, so you should plan to walk a few blocks from your car.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Continues to please...PDXsteveDined on 9/5/2014I think our recent dining experience at Cabezon was particulary good. All four of us enjoyed our varied choices, and the service was excellent.Special Features:
- Neighborhood GemOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/5/2014Great place for locals to walk down to have dinner and a drink. A little pricey, and food was tasty. Left the restaurant and was still hungry......Special Features:
- City girlCitygirlVIPDined on 9/5/2014Excellent appetizers; nice menu but wish it were a little broaderSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time dinerDinnermeetingDined on 9/3/2014I picked this restaurant for a dinner meeting looking for a place with good food at reasonable prices and a relatively low noise level that would be conducive to a business meeting. The food was great, the service good and the noise level was acceptable. If there were one thing that could be improved, I would say the parking. No parking lot and only street parking can make it difficult to find a spot between 5 and 7 as all the folks in the neighborhood are making their way home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Out of sightPdxpizzaboyVIPDined on 8/31/2014A focus on fish from a restaurant that has "Fish Market" in its name...who would have believed that? Cabezon does it right. From appetizers thru mains Cabezon provides fresh fish prepared perfectly. Seems that many tables around us had the fries/aioli starter, so next time so will we. One item we do always have is the Chocolate Budino...rich, dark chocolate with a BIG mound of real whipped creme that turns the dark chocolate into more of a milk chocolate experience. Four of us shared it and were totally satisfied. If you like fresh fish, you must come to Cabezon.Special Features:
- I love to feast on fish flesh....vqreviewDined on 8/28/2014...and so I gathered up my husband and four favorite friends and headed for the first time to Cabezon. Although we arrived early--6 pm--by the time we were ready to order, the two seafood specials, which both sounded fabulous, were sold out. My friend Dave and I had to "settle" for the black cod. OMG. Easily one of the most delicious fish dishes I've enjoyed this year. Maybe THE Best, recalling the lead-off basil-wrapped gulf shrimp appetizer, the cod prepared to buttery perfection, and the pureed potato-vegetable risotto that accompanied the entree. We celebrated Dave's birthday with amazing blackberry ice cream sandwiches made with chocolate cookies. Magnifico. It was my first visit, but I'll soon be back to score a special!Special Features:
- look no further in neighbourhoodlaotzeDined on 8/26/2014Good food and service. Had the catch of the day which was Hawaiian Opa fish. It was very nice. The place was busy, the service was sufficient nevertheless. Dessert was also good. Don't miss this foodie eatery when you are staying near the airport on your next trip to Portland.Special Features:
- Symphony of sublime seafoodExplorerDined on 8/19/2014With the variety and quality present in portland's restaurant scene it is a special complement to regularly frequent a restaurant. Cabezon earns that distinction for both the quality of the seafood and the way in which the chef creatively incorporates simple, flavorful accents and ingredients. Consistently high quality with memorable flavors insures your return. On this occasion, started with two salads, high quality produce perfectly dressed not to overpower the delicate summer greens. The cioppino included a wonderful assortment of seafood in a perfect tomato seafood stock balance. The sweet, milky flavored, salt island mussels accented with heirloom beans and chorizo in a well balanced stock with frites was the best mussel dish ever!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really Nice seafood, short menu1food4allDined on 8/14/2014Everything tasted delicious,except laveder creme brulee. cancel the lavender and it would be Great! My sister had hard time choosing something cus it didn't have much of non seafood options. Just pork loin and lamb leg.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mmmseekerDined on 8/9/2014We really liked the limited fresh menu. The dishes were designed and cooked to perfection by the chef/owner. They had a special of a soft shell crab that was especially good. Overall, excellent dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/2/2014We loved the food at this place. My wife is a pickie eater and she finished her dish, which was a surprise.Special Features:
- AWESOMEdelmar2001Dined on 8/2/2014We dined early and with a 2.5 year old:) Our waitress was excellent and answered our questions regarding the fish entrees. Every dish we ordered was superb. The mussels were fresh and presented in a lovely chorizo and black bean broth. Our little one enjoyed the gruyere mac and cheese. The sturgeon and black bass entrees delighted us and we enjoyed a nice salad with our entrée. We will definitely recommend this restaurants to friends and family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent RestaurantJasmineDined on 7/27/2014This is primarily a fish restaurant, but the menu includes meat dishes that are just as well prepared and presented. Everything we have eaten in our many visits has been excellent, but one of the standouts is the Cioppino, with its rich tomato/fish broth and (NOT watered-down marinara sauce) and generous portions of fin and shellfish. This is one of the places we take special guests.Special Features:
- extremely pleasant eveningworldwide1Dined on 7/25/2014I've been several times, as part of a couple and in a larger group. Delicious food, good service, a nice neighborhood feel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cabezon Does Not DisappointPablo57VIPDined on 7/13/2014Over the past couple of years we've been to Cabezon a number of times. It is wonderfully consistant both in food selection and service. I wouldn't know what to complain about. My Partner enjoyed his fish entree and for me there was wonderful pasta. Our server was super efficient, cheerful, and knowledgeable! It was a very pleasant evening....Special Features:
- Another great dining experienceNewYearDinerDined on 7/12/2014Another great night a Cabezon. This little tucked away restaurant always delivers. Great food. The Duck Confit rivals the best of France. The Oysters on the half shell are a perfect summer appetizer ( Although I may just order a dozen next time.) They are so good in the champagne mignonette sauce. Easy parking, great atmosphere and great service. Upscale casual and truly a neighborhood gem and very reasonable on the prices for the quality. Can't wait to go there again ..and again !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceeded my expectationelbi1978Dined on 7/12/2014My husband and I were visiting from Seattle. We read great reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor and decided to go here for dinner. Wow, I'd give this place overall 4.5 stars. Gin martini and my husband's gin drink - well-made, blue-cheese stuffed olive ($1 extra) is a must! Bread - warm inside with crisp edges, served with salted butter - so yummy Ceasar salad - romaine lettuce leaves served whole with good parmesan cheese, authentic homemade dressing Cioppino - fish, clam, shrimp, mussel, crab served proportionally well, broth is mild and not overwhelming - one of the best cioppinos I ever had Sturgeon - portion perfect, cooked perfect Overall great experience. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys great seafood.Special Features:
- Consistently GoodOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/11/2014We recently visited Cabezon to celebrate my husband and my birthdays. This is our go-to restaurant for special events. We love the intimate feel of this place and the food never disappoints. We started the meal with some amazing oysters on the half-shell followed by a basil-wrapped prawn dish that had the most amazing combination of flavors (Thai influenced). The fish special that night was sturgeon - again, some of the most amazing flavor combination, and cooked perfectly. Also on the special menu was Opa, which my husband ordered and completely devoured. We are not dessert people, but when the waitress found out we were celebrating our birthdays, we were rewarded with the cutest little creme brulee cup. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable diningLancastrianDined on 7/8/2014All three entrees at our table--duck, salmon, lamb--were delicious, sustainable, and fresh.Special Features:

- snow1birdDined on 6/26/2014I was looking for a restaurant to take my wife to dinner. I always research with Trip Advisor. saw the reviews and decided to go there. Parking is a problem. Is neighborhood parking only. I parked on Sandy blvd., one hour, but after six I don't think they enforce. Anyway the server, Michelle, was friendly, attentive. Small cozy place. If you sit at the bar for a drink you van see the chef cooking. The food was fantastic. I had surgeon with a creamed spinach and corn and my wife had New York loin strip with asparagus and schnitzels. She still talks about it. It is pricey but we loved it. I'm very picky reviewing restaurants, I'm the cook in the house, but I couldn't find anything wrong. I'll recommend Cabezon.I would recommend this to a friend.
- StarvingOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/25/2014We found this place through Open Table and decided to try it. When we arrived a couple arrived just in front of us. We had a reservation and they did not. They were seated within 5 minutes while we stood there for 20 minutes ( that would be 20 minutes after our reservation time) The service overall was excellent (there were working hard that night) and the food was good as well. It's a small place to arrive early.Special Features:
- Friendly service, food OKOpenTableReviewerFLLDined on 6/22/2014Great evening dinner outside on a sunny evening in Portland. Service was terrific: friendly and just attentive enough. The entree was OK: fish portion was small, and vegetable mix a little mushy. Dessert was tasty.
- Nice PlaceTravlincub321Dined on 6/14/2014We decided upon Cabezon as a good place for 4 foodies to come together and remember the passing of one's beloved Cat Mara.. Wonderful food, great waitress and a pleasent experiance.. EXCEPT the drinks where a tad too strong for us, but we are wimpsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/14/2014This is my second time visiting Cabezon, and each time the food was outstanding, although a bit pricey for its ambience and location. Nonetheless, it's the food that brings me back every time.Special Features:
- Always a good meal!HancockDined on 6/10/2014I feel so fortunate to have Cabazon in my neighborhood. The service is pleasant, the food never disappoints, and it is fun to see neighbors.Special Features:
- We love this place.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/8/2014The food is delicious! The staff is friendly and efficient, including the kitchen. We love to sit at the bar to eat. It is indeed a gem in the neighborhood!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It all comes down to servicePortlandSueVIPDined on 6/7/2014On this occasion the weather was nice so we chose an outdoor table (the inside was mostly empty). We ordered drinks and appetizers asking that the bellinis would come before the clams (a much heavier dish). Alas the clams came out first followed by the bellinis that had melted from sitting too long. Dinner was ordered and the steak that my husband ordered was partially inedible due to a large fatty tendon piece. When he pointed it out to our server she just said she would mention it to the kitchen and that was it. We ordered capaccinos and dessert...the coffee didn't arrive till after the dessert was finished (the ice cream was melting so we couldn't wait). At that point our server gave up on us and we left disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh, delicious, specialTmeportlandDined on 6/3/2014This place is a gem of a restaurant. The seafood is fresh and prepared well. The service is great. Desserts were delicious.Special Features:
- What happened?wineytheelderDined on 6/3/2014After dining in this restaurant for years, we were shocked at the deterioration in service and food quality on this visit. We waited an unreasonable amount of time for our food; the restaurant wasn't that busy. The wait staff blamed it on a "big table" which consisted of 6 diners; if that's "Big" then they are in trouble. Aside from those 6 diners, there were only 3 other couples dining. When the food finally came, the fish was over cooked...this is fish restaurant and over cooked fish is just unacceptable. I don't know what has changed at Cabezon but I hope they get it fixed. Such a deterioration of quality is hard to watch and experience.
- BCdinerDined on 6/2/2014The duck soup was amazing as was the sole dish. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never Disappoints.OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/2/2014The seafood here is always good and the service excellent. There are always five or six entree choices and a similar number of appetizers. Several wines, both red and white to chose from with prices per bottle ranging from the upper 20's through 70's. Last visited there Monday evening. I HAD A Petrale Sole presented on a Mexican corn cake stuffed with vegetables and beans. My wife had Ahi Tuna with vegetables. Both dishes were tasty and prepared to perfection. This is one of my favorite Portland restaurants.Special Features:
- Will return soonYum1VIPDined on 5/31/2014I was really happy to finally get to dine at this restaurant The food was very good and innovative. Wish I would have found it sooner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!wellingtonDined on 5/30/2014Why did I wait so long to try Cabezon? It is in the neighborhood, and I wish I would have gone sooner! Wait staff was great, food amazing, drink menu was varied and yummy. A little on the pricey side, but well worth it if you want to go out for a nice dinner.Special Features:

Although it may feel like winter is finally here, it's been a slow start for area ski resorts, and the recent mild temperatures has kept the resort from even making snow.
But the arctic blast will have the snow machines busy, at least for the next several days.
Kenny Hess with Massanutten Resorty says, "We're making what we consider base snow which is a little heavier and it with stands the warm temperatures more."
Massanutten resort says many of their employees haven't been able work as much or even work at all.
But now that temperatures have plunged, Hess says the employees at the resort are getting a bit more excited.
Hess says, "They're excited, you know it's cold now and winter's here, or appears to be here, everybody's excited to get to work."
There may not be a big snow in the forecast for the Valley just yet, but Hess says there's a plus side to having man-made snow.
"The plus side of man-made snow is it is much more dense and it holds up better to the weather that we've seen recently, as opposed to the colder temperatures that we have liked
The arctic blast is expected to be short lived as temperatures return to above average by the end of the week.

Vet Center is there to help
Many veterans know the road home is not always easy.
When they experience problems in the readjustment, they can find help in the form of the Quad City Vet Center.
``We are here to help,'' Pat Walsh, head counselor at the Vet Center and a Vietnam veteran said. ``That's the most important thing -- that there is a place veteran's can go for help.''
Although the Vet Center provides a multitude of services for veterans, including an emergency food bank, job referral service, training programs, educational services and transportation to the VA hospital in Iowa City, perhaps the most important service the Vet Center offers is counseling for the malady known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
``You see it manifest itself in different ways in different people,'' Mr. Walsh said. ``Its diagnosis was confirmed as a legitimate social disorder and can be characterized as a mental numbing or isolation. Often the people who suffer PTSD will relive experiences of extreme stress and it is sometimes accompanied by substance abuse. It is one of the more prevalent problems we treat here.''
It has been known for many years but was called my numerous names. Whatever its name -- ``shell shock,'' ``combat fatigue'' or the more poetic ``soldier heart'' -- it has hunted veterans of all of the nation's many armed conflicts.
``The popular image is of the troubled Vietnam veteran, but it is not limited to that war,'' Mr. Walsh said. ``The center was established by congressional mandate for readjustment counseling by the Department of Veterans Affairs in 1979, after we saw a lot of Vietnam-era veterans experiencing readjustment problems. Since then, our scope has been enlarged to include World War II and Korean War, Desert Storm, Somalia, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama veterans and military personnel who were the victim of sexual trauma or harassment.''
Mr. Walsh said the bulk of the center's PTSD clients are Vietnam veterans. However, the center is seeing an increasing number of veterans from Korea and World War II.
``It's something we have noticed over the last few years,'' Mr. Walsh said. ``A lot of those guys are retiring or reaching retirement and they managed to bury a lot of feelings in their work. Now that they can't do that, things are coming to the surface. We still see new cases, it might be a job loss, a divorce or a death of a family member, something that brings that intense stress back.''
Mr. Walsh said the Korean War veterans share similar feelings with many of the Vietnam War veterans.
``The Korean War veterans, who have been forgotten for a long, long time, experience many of the same feelings,'' Mr. Walsh said. ``A lot of the times, they are just pleased to have someone help them validate their experience.''
The Quad City Vet Center, one of 200 centers nationwide, is a shared office with the Cedar Rapids Vet Center. Mr. Walsh said between the two offices, counselors have seen about 8,500 veterans since they were opened.
``Most of the counselors are staffed by military veterans,'' Mr. Walsh said. ``In the Moline office, we have two Vietnam veterans, one Vietnam-era veteran and one counselor who was the child of a career Army family, so everyone is pretty familiar with some of the problems that veterans face. Having something like this available in the area is valuable for the community. This office's existence is due mainly to the influence of Lane Evans, who is also a Vietnam (era) veteran.''
The counselors provide individual or group therapy, marital and family counseling, substance abuse information and referral, all for free.
``I got into this for a number of reasons,'' Mr. Walsh said. ``After the war, I took advantage of the services offered and it helped me change my life's direction. It's been the best and the most fulfilling job I have ever had.''

I have been using the Ajax edit comments plugin since long before it moved here. I noticed recently that clicking the "Check for upgrades" button generates an "Upgrade Check Failed" message. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Posted 16 July 2011 - 07:05 PM
I found the soultion to this is to delete the plugin installed previously and download and and install the most recent version from here manually. Now it is up-to-date and licensed.

Dissertation: Arnau Amalric and the Cistercians, 1153-1225: Crusade, Heresy and Religious Reform
My dissertation uses Arnau Amalric, abbot of Cîteaux from 1200-1212, as a prism to analyze the Cistercians' thought and activity in crusades against infidels and campaigns against heretics. Among the most notorious leaders of the Cistercian Order, Arnau Amalric represents the maturation of Cistercian thought and participation within these ventures before the arrival of the Dominicans and Franciscans. Throughout his tenure as abbot, Arnau Amalric interacted with the leading figures of the day, combatted heresy in Languedoc, and guided the Cistercians through the Fourth Crusade, Albigensian Crusade and the victory at Las Navas de Tolosa, making him an ideal figure around which to center a study. Utilizing untapped or underutilized sources involving Arnau Amalric and the Cistercians, this project illuminates the Cistercians' interaction with medieval society, which helped the Cistercians accrue significant cultural capital and redefine the religious culture.

By Dawn Neuses, email@example.com
MOLINE -- The widening of John Deere Road from 38th to 70th Street will start next spring, according to Illinois Department of Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider who, on Monday, unveiled the work as part of the 2013-2018 multi-modal transportation program. During a news conference at Centre Station, Ms. Schneider said the project -- which includes intersection improvements at 38th and 41st streets -- will cost $51.4 million. It is the largest project in Rock Island County scheduled within the six-year program.In all, the $9.2 billion six-year statewide program designates $621 million for road and bridge projects in District 2, which includes Rock Island, Henry, Whiteside, Jo Daviess, Winnebago, Lee, Stephenson, Boone, Ogle and Carroll counties. Not included, however, is money for construction of the new Interstate 74 bridge. Ms. Schneider, however, said IDOT will spend $1.5 million on bridge rehabilitation between 2014 and 2018. "I know the bridge is a big issue," she said. "The fact is, at this point, we are not in a position where we can fund significant dollars toward (construction). But we do recognize its importance, and we have it as our No. 1 priority as we go forward to bring it into the program as quickly as we can. "We are committed to the bridge," she said. "To date, we have programmed more than $34 million toward the bridge to include preliminary engineering and land acquisition." Other area projects in the six-year plan include: -- $30.1 million for Interstate 80: 29.9 miles of resurfacing in Henry County, from half a mile east of the I-74/I-80 interchange to the Bureau County line, programmed 2014-2018. -- $27 million for Interstate 280: New bridge deck, bridge rehabilitation, bridge repair and engineering, programmed 2014-2018 -- $7.7 million for I-280: 7 miles of resurfacing, patching and cold milling from .4 miles east of Airport Road in Milan to 1.3 miles east of the Rock Island County line, programmed 2014-2018.-- $700,000, Crosstown Avenue in Silvis: One mile resurfaced from 1st Street to Illinois 5, programmed 2013. Ms. Schneider said the transportation improvement program includes $6.5 billion in federal transportation funds, $2.2 billion in state funds and $454 million in local funds. Of the state funds, $1.2 billion are Illinois Jobs Now bond funds. The rest of the state money comes from vehicle registration fees and Motor Fuel Taxes, both which have been declining or flat revenue sources for IDOT, she said. With the money it has available, IDOT has committed to ensuring at least 90 percent of its bridges maintain a ranking of acceptable or better during the six-year plan. Right now, 88 percent of state highways rank acceptable, Ms. Schneider said. By 2018, the percentage will drop to 68 percent, she said. The transportation improvement program is smaller than recent years, she noted, and IDOT will continue to face challenges as it moves forward. "The department has made every effort to size the program for 2013 and beyond appropriately," she said, noting projects scheduled for FY 2013 are funded. Erick Therkildsen, IDOT acting director of highways for Region 2, said the John Deere Road construction project will take three years. It will start with construction of the 38th Street overpass. Ms. Schneider said the road is sorely in need of reconstruction and repair. "This is a project of major importance that will support thousands of jobs in the Quad-Cities," she said.

Comments about Donna Karan Pure Dkny Perfume:
I've loved this scent from the first time I smelled it. It's fresh and clean and soft. The only thing I can say negative about it is that it doesn't last very long. It's strong going on, but has a weak finish. I wish it lasted all day as some perfumes do. However, it's still a wonderful scent that I can use every day.

Good stuff, thank you.
I found some good book that would be useful for character artists.
"The Art of Pantomime" by Charles Aubert - "This book should interest films actors, directors, and scenario writers ... besides several chapters on the possibilities of silent drama it contains what is probably our largest and most accurate collection of drawings illustrating emotional attitudes as portrayed by facial expressions and bodily postures."

I think I've not seen this yet. I'm not recommending it, I've just found it at the archive.org, so I decided to add to this great thread.
Human anatomy for art students; (1920)
Author: Fripp, Alfred Downing, Sir, b. 1865; Thompson, Ralph (and Innes Frip, the actual illustrator, uncredited on the site - the other guys are a surgeon and a "demonstrator of anatomy", which should be some sort of instructor at medical schools, I guess)
Maybe it's just my PC, but the PDF version was unbearably slow. The DJVU was fine, though, and half of the file size. Much more text than illustrations. May worth the reading though, perhaps text descriptions allow for some "a-has" that we wouldn't have by just looking at the picture.
If the text is unreadable in some part, there's another version which seems to be better in this regard, but oddly enough, had most of the illustrations removed.

Found an English translation on one of Gottfried Bammes books and ordered it.
The books are lesson based and it's "slowed down" but the long term aims and goals are, well you can see where it's going to. I have not seen any books that can tell so much just at a galnce or maybe it's just what I have been waiting for. The new book has less pages than the book above but I think after getting the idea from the english book I'd be able to figure out what the other one was doing. Hehehehe!!!

Thank you for this enormous share of information !
Thank you so much for this link. This is going to be so useful for future reference.
Sad news everyone - it seems that all of the books on archive.org later than 1923 have suddenly become unavailable for download. So for example Bridgman's The Human Machine (1939) is gone, but Constructive Anatomy (1920) is still there.
The good news is that the range of pre-1923 art books on archive.org and googlebooks has kept on growing ever since my original post, so there's still plenty of timeless art goodness to be found.
If anyone missed out on The Human Machine it's still available (for now), along with a great selection of older texts, at Matthew Kinsey's Classical Workshop:

Ellen Wortendyke turns 100
At a party in the dining room of Good Samaritan Society-Stafholt, Ellen Wortendyke was honored on her 100th birthday. Family, friends, residents and staff all enjoyed the German chocolate cake and the beautiful flowers provided by her family.
Ellen was born in a small town near London, England on April 13, 1909.
At the age of 2, she, her sister and parents came across the Atlantic Ocean and settled in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada. During the next few years brother Charles and sister Gertrude "Trudy" joined the family.
At the age of 21 Ellen moved to Vancouver, B.C. While in Vancouver she met and married Ralph Wortendyke. She and Ralph then moved to California where Ellen got a job as a waitress. Ralph and Ellen became parents to two children, their daughter Donna and their son Gordy.
The family then moved to Everett and later on to Blaine where Ellen loved to go to the senior center and play cards. Her next move was to Good Samaritan Society-Stafholt where as one nursing assistant put it "she is a treasure" to all the staff.

Whole Foods Market will require all products sold in its U.S. and Canadian stores to carry a label by 2018 saying whether they contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), the organic and natural grocery seller said on Friday.
The U.S. is the world's largest market for foods made with genetically altered ingredients. Many popular processed foods -- including soy milk, soup and breakfast cereal -- are made with soybeans, corn and other biotech crops whose genetic traits have been manipulated, often to make them resistant to insects and pesticides.
Whole Foods -- whose 340-plus stores in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. include four in the greater Toronto area and four in Vancouver -- said the prevalence of GMOs in the U.S., coupled with a lack of labeling requirements, has made it very difficult for retailers to source non-GMO options and for consumers to identify them.
"We are stepping up our support of certified organic agriculture, where GMOs are not allowed, and we are working together with our supplier partners to grow our non-GMO supply chain," Walter Robb, co-chief executive of Whole Foods, said in a statement.
The U.S. does not require safety testing for genetically modified ingredients before they go to market. The food industry says the products are safe, but critics say there is not enough independent research to make that determination.
While the U.S. and Canada still have no GMO labelling laws, more than 60 countries do, the company said, noting several U.S. states are considering mandatory labelling initiatives.
"We're responding to our customers, who have consistently asked us for GMO labeling and we are doing so by focusing on where we have control: in our own stores," Robb said.
The announcement from Whole Foods comes as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration appears to be on the path to approving genetically engineered salmon.
At the same time, consumer groups are working at the state and federal level to require labels on products that contain GMOs.
Dozens of countries already have genetically modified food labeling requirements, with the European Union imposing mandatory labeling in 1997. Since then, genetically modified products and crops have virtually disappeared from those markets.
Whole Foods in 2009 began putting its 365 Everyday Value product line through non-GMO verification. The chain currently sells 3,300 non-GMO Project verified products, such as its organic tofu, and plans to increase that number.
The company's holdings include seven outlets in the U.K., where labeling is already required for all foods or feeds that intentionally contain or are produced from GMOs.
-- Lisa Baertlein reports on the U.S. grocery and restaurant industries for Reuters from Los Angeles.

With the ExpressSpider, PRIMUS introduces a very lightweight, remote cartridge stove. Weighing under 200g, it has a small pack size, yet is strong enough for big pans. Naturally, it offers the advantage of all remote cartridge stoves: with its low centre of gravity it's very stable. No spilt soup while stirring. Plus, its pre-heating tube makes the ExpressSpider suitable for winter use: the cartridge can even be turned upside down without flaring up. It really is a very safe and stable stove. Typically for PRIMUS, it's manufactured with a premium state-of-the-art finish in materials like stainless steel & brass.

The major features of the Express Spider are its simplicity and clean design, lightness of weight, and the pre-heating tube. This tube is so important for cold weather use since it ensures that the LPgas is in a truly gaseous state by the time it reaches the burner. LPgas stoves without a pre-heating tube struggle to perform well in wintry conditions.
The burner itself is the same as the Swedes use for their very successful ExpressStove [which is mounted directly onto the cartridge and has been tested and proven many thousands of times]. It delivers high efficiency, which can be further improved by using Primus' unique EtaPower pots. The gas cartridge is connected with a rugged steel flex hose, also a well-proven Primus component. Combined with its strong feet and non-slip potholders, this will be a fits-all stove with a broad range of applications. The ExpressSpider is probably the lightest remote gas cartridge stove on the market with a pre-heater tube. Stable, rugged, small pack size, and with Primus quality it is available from the beginning of 2010.

Two 19th-century fellows, F.W. Lindqvist and J.V. Svensson, began manufacturing kerosene stoves in a little blacksmith's workshop in central Stockholm in March 1892. They named their company J.V. Svensson's Kerosene Stove Factory, and they gave their stove the name Primus.
The original Primus stove
When the patent had expired and other manufacturers could begin to compete with their own kerosene stoves, they found they had to put up with people referring to their stoves as Primus stoves, too.
Hillary & Tenzing at Mount Everest
After more than a month of trekking and climbing, hauling ten tons of equipment over countless crevasses and across the unexplored, thousand meter high Khumbu Icefall, the expedition set up top camp, one hundred meters below the razor summit of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain. The British expedition under the leadership of John Hunt had steadily fought its way closer to the peak. Each day had been a struggle against the harsh and unpredictable elements. Now its members could actually see the summit, so close yet so far away.
A New Zealander, Sir Edmund Hillary, and a Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay from Nepal, were given the honour of trying to make the top. But they had to break off their first attempt because they simply did not have the strength to make it all the way. Once they had rested up for a couple of days, it was time to try again. It was clear and sunny and it seemed as though they were going to make it. But the weather suddenly changed to a lashing storm that made it impossible to see the attempt through.
Primus was here
On May 29, 1953 Hillary and Tenzing started up the mountain again. This time they succeeded. Now they stood on the roof of the world, at the summit of Mount Everest, 8848 meters above sea level.
Hillary and Tenzing, and Primus
Throughout the entire expedition its members had cooked food, made tea, boiled water and lit up the dark nights with Primus stoves and lanterns that worked without problem, regardless of winds or temperatures.

Baltimore Sun reporters Don Markus and Jeff Barker and producer-editor Jonas Shaffer weigh in on three of the biggest topics of the past week in Maryland sports.
After Wednesday's 16-point loss at No. 5 Ohio State, is Mark Turgeon now under more scrutiny than Randy Edsall?
Don Markus: The honeymoon for Mark Turgeon ended last season when his team struggled to find any consistency during the ACC schedule and lost a couple of games that many believed the Terps should have won. (Boston College and Georgia Tech, both on the road, come to mind.)
But because he had inherited a much more difficult situation than Randy Edsall in terms of talent and was able to have his team play hard on a consistent basis his first two years, the goodwill and patience extended to Turgeon extended into this season.
That is nearly all gone after another disappointing performance by Maryland against Ohio State, one that in many ways was just as bad the home loss to Oregon State a few weeks ago.
The 76-60 final score was deceiving, considering it felt more like a 25 to 30-point loss.
Judging by the reaction from fans commenting on The Sun's website as well as those I spoke with at the airport in Columbus on Thursday morning, Turgeon could start feeling the same kind of wrath Edsall had until the football team won at Virginia Tech and North Carolina State this year.
Edsall still has his doubters, those who believe he is not the coach to lead the Terps into the Big Ten. But at this point, he will likely get at least two years to prove he is – with the last year of his contract in 2016 up for discussion unless he starts strong in the new league.
Turgeon is certainly not close to that discussion, in part because he signed an eight-year deal when he left Texas A&M to come to Maryland and because he has had two highly ranked recruiting classes. But fans want to see that individual talent turn into a top 25 team.
The storm clouds are starting to gather over Comcast Center, and they could turn even darker should the Terps lose to George Washington on Sunday. Given that the Colonials have already beaten Miami and No. 20 Creighton, this is more than a trap game for Maryland.
It actually would be a quality win for a team desperately in search of one.
A year ago, the Terps nearly beat defending champion and No. 3 Kentucky at the Barclays Center, then went through the rest of a very weak non-conference barely tested. Turgeon said later that it hurt his team and his own comfort level as a coach.
Now, after nearly beating No. 18 Connecticut at the Barclays Center, the Terps have not played very well aside from their three-game sweep in the Paradise Jam and a 27-point win over Morgan State last week.
Many still think Turgeon is the right guy to bring the Terps back to national prominence, but apparently it's going to take longer than many -- myself included -- expected. Losing Seth Allen with a broken foot right before the season began certainly threw Maryland off track, but there are no excuses for the way Turgeon's team played in Columbus.
It was embarrassing, nearly from the outset. It was, unfortunately, reminscent of some of the performances Edsall's team gave as recently as Wake Forest earlier this season. If Edsall can take heat for the way his team didn't show up to play that day before losing Stefon Diggs and Deon Long to horrific injuries, so can Turgeon. There were no injuries at the Value City Arena in the Big Ten/Big Ten (non) Challenge but plenty of insults.
How do you think Maryland fans felt seeing watching ESPN's Top 10 Wednesday night and Thursday and seeing three Ohio State dunks from the same game? Regardless of what happens the rest of the way, Turgeon's team had better look more prepared, focus and committed than they did against the Buckeyes.
That's a coach's job, and right now, the basketball coach is feeling a lot more heat than the football coach in College Park for the first time since each was hired.
What former Maryland recruit could Mark Turgeon and the Terps use now?
Jonas Shaffer: For all his flaws, give Gary Williams this much credit: He knew how to find, and develop, a point guard for his system. And before he retired in 2011, he had a letter of intent from a kid named Sterling Gibbs.

Save Your Marriage -- Get Your Child to Sleep!
Trouble with your spouse? ML Parenting Expert Jill Spivack says your big problem is actually little. Find out what you can do to make things right at home.
Jill Spivack: When we talk about marriage and relationships in my parenting groups, it's always fascinating to see that the parents whose kids go to sleep at a reasonable hour ... 7-8 PM ... seem to be happier and more fulfilled than those whose kids are up til 11:00 PM.
When kids go to sleep too late, parents simply don't have any time to refuel themselves or their relationships. It seems as though they're parenting 24 hours a day and once the kids are asleep, the parents just conk out themselves. Too often, parents think they're doing their children a service by allowing them to do what they want in the bedtime arena. However, ultimately, if mom and dad fall apart, the children are the ones to ultimately suffer.
A happy parental marriage is one of the highest indicators of ultimate happiness in children. Without sleep, parents feel cranky with their children, with one another and resentful of the parental duties they're expected to perform day after day. They bicker over the simplest things, stop feeling connected and very often are too exhausted to have sex.
Bottom line ... sleep deprivation can bring out the worst in everyone in the family. If the kids go to sleep early, you have time to reconnect with yourself and your spouse which ultimately creates balance and harmony for everyone.

Anybody have any tips on this one as to how to work a 10 year old in to an 8:00ish bedtime routine, my ten year old's 9:30 bedtime usually results in a 10:00 bedtime which I feel guilty for all the time but it feels like he has so much to get done and the night gets away from us. This is totally my fault for allowing this gradual slip to happen. I want him to be a rested kid for his own good, not just for my benefit like this article states, however I think it would benefit my hubby and I as well. Help! Any suggestions?
this is so timely for me since i am exhausted and furious with my 9 year old daughter because she woke me up twice last night at 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. and of course then i couldn't get back to sleep hence exhaustion. i too am struggling with an earlier bedtime for her. she has been going to bed between 9 and 10 for a long while and i feel everyone would be happier if her bedtime was more like 8:00! i know that when she watches tv she is too stimulated to sleep so i have started having her turn it off at least 1/2 hour before bedtime and read. for two nights now she has been falling asleep right away. i have adjusted the time to 1/2 hour earlier and will do so again in a few days. in the meantime i have started waking her up earlier so she is tired at night. now how do i get her to over the "i had a bad dream can i sleep with you?" routine?
We often had these same problems with the kids I used to work with. They refused to sleep then they would be much grumpier. With the approval of their parents, we started using aroma therapy on the more restless children. Bath & Body Works has a whole line of inexpensive aroma therapy lotions, pillow sprays and massage oils. The lavendar vanilla helped the kids fall asleep more quickly (plus the sensual line can helo you out in the bedroom too!)Once they are used to the earlier bed time, start weening them off of the aroma therapy (you don't want them to have a dependency on it). Good luck!
A major part of the reason my children's sleep issues (as infants & toddlers) was a stress on my marriage was because my late-husband didn't get up to help during the night, even on weekends. Yes, he did work full-time and I was a stay-home mom. His work was sitting in a comfy chair in front of a computer. Our daughters are 2 days short of being 2 days apart. My older daughter stopped taking naps when she was 2 1/2. There were many days I functioned on 4 hours of fitfull sleep and was lucky if I was able to sit down for more than 10 minutes at a time.
It isn't so much the child's sleep problems that cause discord sometimes as it is the other parent, blessed with 8 hours of sleep every night, not helping enough.
Very interesting site. Hope it will always be alive!
I bookmarked this link. Thank you for good job!

Atlanta is ranked as the 10th-best metro area nationally for high school football by MaxPreps.
The rankings, compiled by MaxPreps writer Kevin Askeland, is based primarily on computer ratings.
Here are those that made the top 400 from metro Atlanta:
No. 11 Norcross
No. 110 Sandy Creek (Tyrone)
No. 113 North Gwinnett (Suwanee)
No. 132 Gainesville
No. 168 North Cobb (Kennesaw)
No. 326 South Gwinnett (Snellville)
No. 331 St. Pius X Catholic (Atlanta)
A couple of things jump out immediately for local football fans.
If St. Pius made it, what about Buford, the Class AAA champion? And if South Gwinnett, why not Grayson?
And what about Class AAAAAA runner-up Lovejoy?
DeKalb County produces more top-flight recruits than any other area in the state, but there's no M.L. King, no Tucker, no Stephenson in the top 400.
Metro Atlanta did get extra points for Gainesville, though many don't consider that metro Atlanta.
The No. 1 area in the country, according to MaxPreps, is Los Angeles. Five of the top 15 teams in the country are from the L.A. area.

Buford can bring boys in from different counties. When you do that you can build a power house. Just like St. Pius X. Half the boys on St. Pius are not Catholic. They come from different back grounds.

"Just like St. Pius X. Half the boys on St. Pius are not Catholic. They come from different back grounds"
@Mountain Man – so what's your point? Does one have to be Catholic to attend a Catholic school? Do you have any inclination of the mission of Catholicism? Do you think all the young men that play for Notre Dame, Boston College, Xavier, etc… are all Catholic? Depending on your response, this post of yours borders on stupidity.
July 31st, 2013

….as for the article, MaxPreps, Kevin, and the computers obviously have it wrong. I wouldn't even blame the computers becuase it's only as good as the programming/logic. So this is all human error! We could all run off the obvious omissions and after I take a look at that entire list, I'm sure there are some from other states aside from GA like VA, TX, FL, OK, MS, LA & CA where I've lived or spent enough time that would be missing.

Calhoun beat Buford's best team, the last time they played. Their women were squawlin' like babes in the rest rooms. Must have hurt.
July 31st, 2013

Original is what I am saying. They bring in boys just to play football. Just like Buford. just play the boys in your area and you will see . They cant stand up against the other AAA teams. Would you agree. Just like Buford QB the one his dad was at Ga, He lives in Gainesville and plays at Buford.

Maxpreps is great for schedules but this ranking is silly, just to prompt discussion. Give me greater Miami's Central, University, BTW, Aquinas, and Columbus and I'll go 4-1, maybe 3-2 on a bad day against all these cities. Passion for HS football? Take Atlanta any day over LA or NY!

This is ………..senseless. Any fan of High School Football, anywhere, should know better. They say this is based on computer rankings. People program computers. Not being able to see a team has the most effect on what one may think. I recently made a statement that basically said Georgia has more complete teams that fit into the "Good" category, not just teams with one or two stars. I watch football from all over the States and some of the better teams from other states would not have a chance vs. some of our best. I wish there was a way for this to be settled. Maybe Maxpreps and ESPN can come to the schools and make them an offer they can't refuse. We may not be No. 1 but 10, no way.

IMO, no other state has more TOP quality Metro HS Teams than Texas. The Houston area, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio. I would have to place California at two or three at best. The states that I place above Georgia/Metro Atlanta, are there strictly because of population.

@Mountainman ST.Pius X accepted 275 freshman students for the fall 300 got turned down. Now 1st choice goes to Catholic student from a Catholic school and one of your parents attended the school !
2nd is the same as the 1st but without the alumni
3rd is catholic from a public school
4th is non catholic from catholic school.
5th high academic achievement and the cash to go to the school we have no full rides here.
Now you have been informed. Explain now how we bring kids in? Oh yes they have to take a test to get in.
The score has to be well above the fog the mirror test. We have no sour mash still building classes at SPX
They have to have an almost spotless discipline record- one bad grade school teacher recommendation and they could be out no matter if their parents went there. Several freshman with alumni parents didn't get in and yes two had brothers already in the school. And yes they are athletes. I know we probably kicked your butt in football and in girls basketball so I know you are mad but get over it.
Our football team runner up in the state had no football signees how does that happen. I guess no SEC school wants a 175 lb pulling guard or do they?
But hey good luck this fall and come see our 175 lb center and 180 lb guards play.

Metro Atlanta has a big share of big time players playing great football. The way the regions are set up many big time players play against other good teams with very good players everyone benefits especially the fans. We get to see great high school football for 14 or15 weeks. Passion for the game is what makes it so good.
Buford is a city school so pay the money and you can go what's the big deal it is a known fact that city school operates that way don't you think GHSA would of found something by now?
DeKalb all you have to do is live in the county and you can play for any school you can get to. You can live across the street from St Mtn and play at Tucker if you can make it to the school. Move an apartment complex and play for whoever without sitting out a year is it right? Must be because GHSA doesn't think there is a problem.
South Ga they transfer too so unless GHSA says there is a problem guess there isn't one.
I would love to see Camden against a team from west coast or Norcross play these power houses from NY the Georgia teams will win every time. Florida teams now that would be some great games. I guess we all need to kick in some money and get MLK, Tucker or Stephenson to that Ohio high school challenge that is the only way to find out who is the best. Can't wait for the season to start !

not to stir up the pot, but personally, i feel that the reason Pius is on there and Buford isnt is because Pius has to work so much harder to get to where they are. Buford can recruit, which is good for them, but as a player on last years' Golden Lions, I can say that nobody but us knew we could get that far.
August 1st, 2013

Today, it begins. Pads. Good thing too. It's time. I want to see some football so bad, I may just go see Norcross and Colquitt scrimmage. Can't hardly wait to see what this season brings.
GPB has weighed in this way = Norcross
North Cobb
North Gwinnett
Peachtree Ridge
Any thoughts?

I can backup MountainMan on his comment that the Buford QB lives in Gainesville…..his little brother played in my youngest sons basketball league in North Hall county and his older brother used to attend and play at North Hall. MountainMan is accurate on his claim.

Hi 82 dog and OriginalATLien did you read that. Just like I said their is a sleeper in the AAA group. Their is someone that lives Gainesville and plays on a AAA team in Gwinnett. Joe Friday Read the comment above me. Just like I said quit shipping boys in and you wont win a game in AAA or AA . But you could maybe in A

This is so funny. If anyone believes that metro Atlanta is the 10th best major US city for high school football, that person has not been outside of the state of Georgia. In practically every state in the nation the teams from the largest city are the favorites. Georgia only has one big city. However, we all know better. LOL! With the exception of Gwinnett County, there is limited discipline…no tradition…and just a bunch of AJC hype.
August 1st, 2013
4:52 pm
Buford is not on the list because it is likely that Buford is excluded (rightfully so) from being in metro Atlanta. Buford is a small town that is more likely connected to north Georgia communities and schools. Newnan is not metro Atlanta. LaGrange & Troup County is not metro Atlanta. Drive through Buford. I lived in Midtown Atlanta for 6 years until my wife and I moved to the northern suburbs (Alpharetta) when we had our first child last fall. Buford is not metro Atlanta.

@ ENR == No matter how you try to spin it, there are schools here that would destroy many of those schools from other states that are ranked highly every year. Many of them are Catholic or private to some degree and you would be hard pressed to pit Bishop Gorman against Camden and think BG would be that much better, if at all. According to their ranking, these schools from other states would kill schools from Georgia, such as Lovejoy, Camden,and other top Georgia teams. GBP does not have Lovejoy and Camden ranked because the figure both lost too much talent. That same thought was used here.

Sportsnut…..Considering that you guys were in the State Title Game last season, I can see that being a bit disrespectful….
August 2nd, 2013
4:09 pm
@74 == I understand their rationale. If they make noise this season, who can deny they have arrived. Two trips back to back, including the step up in class, have not convinced some that Lovejoy is for real. I like where we are sitting and I am sure the players will have something to say about all this in the end. The week of the first game, I will tell you if we will be back for another run.
August 2nd, 2013
9:47 pm
@mountainman & FatherOfTwo I think you guys are missing the point no matter where the kid lives it is only ILLEGAL if he is not paying tuition. Right? Now that said I think Lovett hs also a private school was putting out an interesting 1.2 multiplier for those players not living in that district. That would mean lot of the big name DeKalb teams would move up to AAAAAA. But it was tabled.
August 2nd, 2013
10:15 pm
Buford has to be considered metro atlanta if Gainesville is. Gainesville is a good 20 minutes north of buford. Grayson is ranked a top 10 national team in most rankings meaning this poll is garbage.
August 2nd, 2013
11:13 pm
I guess you could call all of it garbage, since not one game has been played yet. It will probably change after the first week……
August 4th, 2013

the thing that got me is when i was in high school they said that De Salle california was the best cause they had a team who had 100+ games undefeated. To me that isn't a good team as much as lack of competition lets put this into perspective. why doesn't anyone consider an undefeated boise St in college to be better than a 1-2 loss LSU or Alabama. it is because you know every game will be a close one when you can easily rack up the points against your competition it shows lack of competition if you have to fight for every win you rise yourself to a higher level of play. I hope they allow more interstate football action I would love to take our top ten and let them play cali, new york, Florida and texas. i think florida and texas would give us the hardest time but I think we would put up a good fight and especially do well against the new yorkers and californians.
August 4th, 2013
