Love chocolate? You're in the right place. Celebrate your sweet tooth with these healthy, chocolaty dessert recipes, guaranteed to satisfy your craving.
Plain Ol' Dark Chocolate
Let's start with what we're all really craving: A hunk of plain chocolate. Diet disaster, right? Wrong. A one-ounce piece of dark chocolate amounts to only 151 calories, and its positive attributes don't stop there.
The flavonoids in chocolate are heart healthy, can lower cholesterol, and can even help prevent certain cancers, such as skin cancer. Dark chocolate is by far the healthiest option, as it contains less sugar and more antioxidants than milk chocolate or white chocolate. Stick to a small one-ounce serving when you really need it, and you can satisfy your next craving guilt-free.

dark chocolate doesn't have enough SUGAR to fulfill an urge that chocolate creates. milk chocolate is where the good stuff is... dark chocolate is way too bitter to be considered an acceptable substitute. the guilt free way to enjoying chocolate is no shock... use it in moderation and maybe a few extra sit-ups/squats/laps to your work out routine just to make sure :)4/16/2011 06:33:56 PM Report Abuse

In our centennial year, photos of old time Oklahoma City from the Metropolitan Library System's Oklahoma Images collection have become more popular than ever—so popular, in fact, that local photographer Dennis Church has used some of them as the beginning point for a new exhibit of "then and now" photos that is on display through August in the Downtown Library, 300 Park Ave., and will tour the library system in the months to come.
The "now" photographs are taken from the same spot and at the same angle as the "then" pictures, which were taken during Oklahoma City's past. They will give modern viewers the chance to see how, or if, the buildings that are such an important part of the city have changed over the decades.
"About a year or so ago," Church said, "I came across a Web site where someone had taken old photos of New York City and retook them with a modern day version. I thought that the comparisons were fascinating. I guess it just stuck in the back of my head, and I started thinking about a similar project locally. When I saw the historical photos on the Metropolitan Library's web site, I knew I had found an excellent resource for the project."
Church describes the exhibit as both a historical essay and a testament to the unique architectural character of Central Oklahoma. It also showcases the growth – and loss – of the region's urban tenor.
"Much of our architecture was literally built overnight," he said, "and sadly, not built to last so the buildings no longer exist. While I believe that growth and change is necessary, it seems that we did a disservice to our past by not preserving it."
For more information about the "Now and Then" photo exhibit at the Downtown Library, call (405) 231- 8650.
The Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County includes 12 libraries and five extension libraries. Libraries include Belle Isle, Capitol Hill, Ralph Ellison, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library and Southern Oaks in Oklahoma City, as well as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Midwest City, Village and Warr Acres. Extensions are located in the communities of Harrah, Jones, Luther and Nicoma Park and include Wright Library in Oklahoma City. You can also reach us at www.metrolibrary.org.
About the Artist:
Dennis Church, born to an Air Force family in Landstuhl, Germany, moved to Oklahoma in 1976. He currently resides with his wife Rita in Eastern Oklahoma County. He is a Regional Sales Manager for the leading manufacturer of motorsports licensed merchandise. An avid photographer for 30 years, Church has traveled extensively throughout the United States and the world, capturing the uniqueness of rural and urban architecture. He is currently working on a photo series of barns and landscapes

By Shannon Houston, Hollywood Staff
Every once in a while a fun, new, horror flick comes around and plays around with the old genre a bit. This year's Animal does just that, and also stars some very familiar TV faces, including Elizabeth Gillies (Victorious, Winx Club) and Keke Palmer (True Jackson, Winx Club), along with Parker Young (a favorite from Suburgatory and Enlisted) and Paul Iacono.
In a recent interview Liz Gillies said that her fans will be pleasantly surprised at how the film works against certain horror movie clichés, even as it shows love to throwback styles of the genre (after all, they are playing a group of kids in the woods, running from something). She also mentions that the movie is really funny (much of which has to be attributed to Iacono's character).
There's also a fantastic-albeit brief-cameo from rapper Eve, which is reason enough to check it out. Well that, and the Parker Young factor:
Animal is in theatres and available for purchase on iTunes now!

Ordering for a Team?
Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
Keep up all your water adventures with the Helly Hansen® Women's Aquapace Water Shoes.
for my friends daughter to go to summer camp..she liked the color ..I knew they were a good brand... she loves them and they fit perfectly
Great Item to buy !Super confortable !Great quality !
great item
I was pleased with this shoe, but unfortunately the outer sole is so smooth, I just slip on the floor of the pool. I wear these to play water volleyball, but they provide so little traction that they are useless to me. In an effort to remedy the situation, I seriously scuffed up the outer soles as best I could, but to no avail. They of course cannot be returned, so they will sit on the shelf until I get the gumption to toss them out.
I really liked the style of the shoe when looking for water shoes. After reading the reviews, I started to second guess myself. A lot of people talked about the size running small so I ordered a 1/2 size larger. When they arrived, I found that they were a tad bit roomy. I could have possibly gone with my original size, but I kept them. Anyways, I'm so glad that I disregarded the reviews because I absolutely, 100% love these water shoes, and wore them all day to a polar plunge. In my opinion, they were easy to get on, and I didn't find that they were prickly on the inside at all. I recommend these shoes, and would love to get the gray and pink pair next!
These shoes are not very wide at the toe. I ended up sending them back and getting a half size bigger. While they are not too short anymore they still feel tight around the toes.
These definitely run small. I usually wear a size 8, but for these my toes were hitting the front. Width was just right, just hugging my feet around, but there was no way I could walk fast in these. So I gave the 8 to someone who wears 7.5 shoes and ordered an 8.5, which fit great lengthwise. However, the width also changed and the shoes got a bit loose around my feet. This caused my feet to move more around and I ended up with blisters behind my ankles. Another issue is that the stitches inside are prickly, but I expect them to wear off. The good points are that these are really cute, light weight, cooling and the soles are very comfortable. The construction seems to be of good quality as well. So far, I've washed them a couple of times after walking on dirt tracks with rocks and they still look very new. I can walk on them the whole day and will not feel tired. But I must wear them with plasters on the back of my ankles to avoid blistering. If it weren't for the poor fit, I would have given more stars.
Difficult to pull on - definitely not a favorite shoe if you are tight on time for an aqua class.Suggest you order one size larger for proper fit.One shoe is definitely smaller than the other.
I got these just for walks with my dog at the park. I live in a tropical country at the moment and it can rain a lot, so I am always looking for sporty shoes that are comfortable for long walks or short runs and that can get wet. These fit the profile, but I bought my usual size 8 and my toes really rub against the front. I also felt that the stitches that touch the top of my feet are a bit rough and these are not to be worn with socks. Overall, I think it is a good shoe, so I'll pass this one on to someone else and get myself another larger pair. I'd size this up either half or a whole size, but I am doubtful. If you can try it on in store, it would be best. I bought the blue one and the color is exactly as in the picture here.
Despite the shoe being the right size, the top part does not stretch enough to allow your foot to go in. Don't see how anyone could wear these shoes. Disappointing.

Hi Guys,
I have purchased this tablet 2 days before in a local mobile shop in Chennai, not through flipkart. I thought my review can help those who wants to buy this one. Its a cheap one but doesn't support any thing. These are disadvantages: 1.Battery back up is very low 2. Doesn't support android apps 3. every time when you reboot you will need to remove the memory card 4. Very lower screen resolution 5. very bad camera.
This is a cheap tablet and the attribute gets to all other aspects of the tablet too - cheap.
The fundamental gripe I have is that it does not have access to Marketplace. It has a customized HCL market place where you have access to 10K applications - the bulk of which is useless. So, what this means is that you actually do not have access to all the applications on Android Market place.
My second gripe is about the battery. This drains in a few hours of usage. I will have to charge at least once a day and if I am a heavy user I will have to charge it twice.
I had bought it from a shop... (Expand)
1GHz Processor, ARM Cortex-A8, High Performance low power CPU and android lovely combination I've purchased HCL ME X1 recently. Here are my few observations on the product's features & performance. 1. Battery life is very less, apprx 2.5 - 3 hrs (working on wifi applications) 2. Display is not that impressive, specially for gaming and internet viewing 3. Front camera, still images are ok but when it comes to video chatting, its pixelising all the time during the chat even with the high speed internet connection 4. Application store on HCL website to be launched. so these are some of t... (Expand)
the worst which can happen to u is that u get to buy HCL ME,its cheap in price and so in standard. i bought it from lucknow and it could not survive to my anger as it extremely irritated me and i broke it by throwing forcefully on the ground. i suggest each one of u not to go for it. its the worst tablet to buy.
My previous commetn I really blasted HCL for everything,
Ok Let me tell you -
If It is Made In India, than It must be equal or better than Made in Germany/Japan/USA, Got it.. We Indians aren't caring about Price any more, don't spoil countries Industrial Image by importing Sub standard goods from china and re-branding it as Made in India,
and don't manufacture cheap plastic goods and label it as Made In India,
10000 Rupees for this junk?. I am ready to give 50000, Make it better than Made in Germany, That's all we want,
i recommend you to just dont waste your money on this useless product..... it dosent even consist of google play store apk........... (View complete review)
this is the waste of money ......
never dare to buy this it is just rubbish and nothing in this dabba tab
this is my humble request to all my friends (View complete review)
got this in the month of dec 2012 battery back is not good and the adapter stopped working after two months, dont know does the adapter has the warranty or not. its also a heavy one cant hold it for long (View complete review)
A lot of complaints like poor battery backup, network issues, most apps dont even run on it.
With all bad experience i had, all i have to say is.......
Please dont even think of buying an HCL product.
A sincere request. (View complete review)

Did you know? It was a gut feeling, now I know ...
Women influence men more than they influence other women
NYU Stern :: Today, finding influentials is all the rage. Companies such as Klout are trying to measure "influence scores" for people in social media networks like Facebook and Twitter, and brands are using this information to target them with advertising.
In a new paper, published today in Science, Sinan Aral, NYU Stern Assistant Professor of Information, Operations and Management Sciences, and his co-author Dylan Walker, a research scientist at Stern, present a new method to measure influence and susceptibility in social networks. They used their method to measure influence and susceptibility in the adoption of a commercial movie application on Facebook among 1.3 Million users.

text: "We are obsessed with building labyrinths, where before there was open plain and sky. To draw ever more complex patterns on the blank sheet. We cannot abide that openness: it is terror to us. Look at Borges. Look at the suburbs of Buenos Aires. The tyrant Rosas has been dead a century, but his cult flourishes. Beneath the city streets, the warrens of rooms and corridors, the fences and the networks of steel track, the Argentine heart, in its perversity and guilt, longs for a return to that first unscribbled serenity… that anarchic oneness of pampas and sky…"—Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow (via doctorsax)

November 28, 2006--Wolfram Research has now released AceGen and AceFEM, two new application packages that together bring a robust, optimized architecture for rapid numerical prototyping and finite element analysis to Mathematica.
AceGen can be used to automatically derive formulas needed in numerical procedures. Its code-generation system combines the symbolic and algebraic capabilities of Mathematica with built-in processes for automatic differentiation, simultaneous expression optimization, and theorem proving to provide accurate numerical code from symbolic descriptions. This approach makes AceGen ideal for determining characteristic quantities such as gradients, tangent operators, and sensitivity vectors. The generated code is portable and can be implemented in supported finite element environments such as AceFEM or compiled with the included C compiler.
AceFEM similarly takes advantage of Mathematica's symbolic capabilities, within an efficient general finite element environment powerful enough to visualize and solve industrial-scale multi-physics problems. It includes a large, extensible library of finite elements prebuilt for professionals and researchers in manufacturing, construction, and various mechanical engineering disciplines.
Key features in AceGen include:
The finite element environment of AceFEM provides:
Through March 13, 2007, all customers may take advantage of an introductory 20% discount on these packages through the Wolfram web store.
Developed and supported by Joe Korelc, AceGen and AceFEM require Mathematica 5.0 or higher and are available for Windows.
More information is available on the AceGen and AceFEM websites.

Are investors done with Crocs and Uggs?
It looks like Wall Street's fashion sense may be improving.
It's a bad day for anyone who invested in the long-term potential of appalling shoe fads.
Deckers Outdoor Corp. (DECK), which sells the much-hated but reputedly comfy Ugg brand of boots, is getting slammed by investors after its earnings release. The stock closed down nearly 14% Friday.
Deckers actually earned its highest profit ever, far more than expected by analysts, most of whom must be flabbergasted at the company's continued ability to convince women to wear big, unflattering sheepskin boots with no arch support. Analysts give Deckers an average rating of outperform.
Crocs (CROX), another fashion felony that won't go away, also beat earnings expectations. Net profit rose 18%. Even so, Crocs shares closed down 5% Friday.
If earnings are in line, why the sell-off? Is Wall Street spurning these companies based on fashion taste?
Both companies' outlooks for the next quarter and the coming year aren't very good. Uggs' margins will be significantly hurt by a jump in the price of sheepskin. But, to the chagrin of fashionistas, sales aren't going to come down much on a seasonal basis. And the company is looking to add customers. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is now hawking Uggs to, of all people, men. If that catches on, there might be some hope for the fuzzy boot.
In the case of Crocs, revenue is expected to slide. The company suffered during the recession because, well, it sells $30 flip-flops. Sales have recovered slowly since then, but it looks like they won't for long.
If the hypothetical Wisdom Tree Footwear Fad ETF existed, this would be bad news.

Program Basics
Risk management education and partnership programs fund projects to inform farmers about crop insurance, futures, options, forward contracts, as well as broader risk management topics such as crop and enterprise diversification, conservation planning, new and value-added markets, debt reduction, and asset building strategies.
There are several distinct grant programs funded under this general heading, including:
In recent years, each of these programs has funded a substantial number of projects related to sustainable and organic agriculture and to beginning, minority, and women farmers. The Community Outreach and Assistance Partnership Program in particular funds collaborative outreach and assistance initiatives between public and private entities that assist socially disadvantaged, beginning, and other traditionally under-served farmers and ranchers.
2008 Farm Bill Changes
The only farm bill change to the NIFA-administered regional Risk Management Education program was the addition of a special emphasis for awarding grants to risk management education projects that assist:
The mandatory funding was continued at $5 million a year.
The major change to the RMA-run programs was a cut in funding. Prior to the 2008 Farm Bill, RMA received $20 million a year in mandatory funding which was used for contracting with schools and firms to do research and development for new crop insurance products and risk management strategies for underserved commodities and areas, and also for the partnership education and outreach programs.
In addition, $5 million a year in mandatory funding was available for Targeted States Education.
That $5 million for the 15 most underserved states (the northeastern states plus WY, UT, and NV; and the 2008 bill adds HI as the new 16th state) is continued in the new bill, but the $20 million amount for the R&D contracting and the partnership programs was cut to $12.5 million a year in mandatory funding.
The new bill also directed RMA to enter into contracts, paid out of the same $12.5 million a year, for research and development of 6 new or revised insurance productions:crop insurance for organic production, energy crops, aquaculture, and bees, plus revenue insurance for contract poultry producers and for beginning farmers.
In addition, RMA was given the discretionary authority to transfer up to $5 million a year from this same $12.5 million line item to improve its computer systems. As a result of the overall cut, the new mandated contracts, and the transfer authority, significantly less money will be available each year for the partnership education and outreach programs.
Section 12026 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act (FCEA) of 2008 amends Section 524(a) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act to add the special beginning farmer emphasis to the NIFA (formerly CREES) Risk Management Education Program. The program and this change are codified at 7 U.S.C. 1524(a).
Section 12024 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act (FCEA) of 2008 amends Section 522(e) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act to reduce mandatory funding for R&D contracting and partnership programs. The funding change will be codified at 7 U.S.C. 1522(e). Section 522(d) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act authorizes the Risk Management Partnership Programs. Section 524(a)(2) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act authorizes the Education for Underserved States program.
Risk Management Education and Outreach Funding
RMA Targeted States Education
RMA Partnership and Outreach Programs; R&D Contracting
Please note: The funding levels in the chart above show the amount of mandatory funding reserved by the 2008 Farm Bill for this program to be provided through USDA's Commodity Credit Corporation. However, Congress does at times pass subsequent appropriations legislation that caps the funding level for a particular year for a particular program at less than provided by the farm bill in order to use the resulting savings to fund a different program. Therefore, despite its "mandatory" status, the funding level for a given year could be less than the farm bill dictates should the Appropriations Committee decide to raid the farm bill to fund other programs under its jurisdiction.
Implementation Basics – RME
Four regional centers administer the funding opportunities annually with input from producers and other stakeholders knowledgeable and interested in agricultural risk management:
Application is a two–step process. Applicants first submit a short, online pre-proposal and, if they are selected, a more detailed full proposal. Grant awards normally do not exceed $50,000 per project. The range of awards is generally from $5,000–$50,000; however, there is no absolute upper or lower limit on the funds provided to a project; awards reflect a mix of project sizes to meet a center's investment goal of a balanced portfolio. NIFA has stated that awards go to projects that clearly identify risk management results and have a well-thought-out approach to achieve those results.
Implementation Basics – RMA
RMA announces the availability of funds for its partnership and cooperative agreements each year via the Federal Register and the RMA website (www.rma.usda.gov/aboutrma/agreements/). Partners conduct risk management and crop insurance education, community outreach and assistance, and research and development activities in close cooperation with RMA staff.
In 2010 the Risk Management Agency (RMA) expanded the scope of Community Outreach and Assistance risk management projects it will fund to include Farm to School, Food Safety and addressing Food Deserts (areas underserved by food retailers) with products from small farmers and ranchers. Other information about eligibility criteria is outlined in each Federal Register Request for Applications (see 2010 outreach notice for an example: http://www.rma.usda.gov/news/2010/03/outreach.pdf).
Applicants interested in RMA funding can go to the RMA website for an application checklist, instructions, samples, templates, and all required forms needed to prepare an application. Applicants should pay close attention to the closing date and time for receipt of an application as applications received after the deadline will not be considered.
Applications may be transmitted electronically via Grants.gov prior to the application date or time deadline. Go to http://www.grants.gov, click on "Find Grant Opportunities," select "Search Grant Opportunities," and enter the CFDA number (beginning of the RFA) to search by CFDA number. From the search results, select the item that correlates to the title of the RFA.

Examples of Past Grant Recipients for the Community Outreach and Assistance Partnership Program
California FarmLink received $105,000 in 2007 for a project entitled "Empowering Underserved Farmers to Manage Risk through Business Planning and Farm Financing" to offer trainings on business planning, farm financing, crop insurance, and land tenure to minority and young farmers, as well as succession planning.
Land Stewardship Project received $93,940 in 2007 for a New Forsenic Ag Project to help beginning farmers who want to raise alternative crops and livestock find strategies to mitigate risk.
Michael Fields Ag Institute received $150,000 in 2007 to assist immigrant and other underserved farmers and ranchers increase the number of successful applications to RMA and other USDA programs by assuring that language and culture are not a barrier in completing an application.
The Michigan Land Use Institute received $88,744 in 2007 to help increase the number and success of small scale farmers in the region by providing targeted risk management and outreach planning, promotion, and delivery of information addressing production, marketing and financial risks.

Problem areas. Every garden center has some. We asked members of our Fresh Air Forum to tell us how they have approached some of the retail roadblocks in their operations. Have an idea of your own to share? Join in the conversation at FreshAirForum.com.
Teri Smith: Smith's Acres
We have an "L" shaped greenhouse that wraps around our retail store, with big double doors on both ends. The doors towards the back have always been a problem spot for us. Our benches come out from the walls at an angle and are fairly well spaced. The back door seemed to be where UPS drivers would drop off, cardboard would get piled and general receiving and pricing would get done. We always kept the "right" side of the doorway clear of clutter and fairly well merchandised, but not much ever seemed to sell from that area.
Judy Sharpton suggested I give up trying to retail from that space and have it be receiving. She suggested placing a large fabric curtain (10-12 feet wide) across the walkway about 6-8 feet in from the back door. That would let people know when they walked in the back door that it wasn't really retail space. And when you walked around the corner from the front of the greenhouse, you would be pulled in by the large expanse of color.
We toyed with the idea during the winter while we were closed, and instead of draping the curtain across the aisleway and visually blocking an entrance, we used the fabric to block off the left corner of the greenhouse. We also removed one of our benches and widened the aisles even more, leaving much easier access to the "righthand" corner which is where everyone is supposed to gravitate to when they enter a store.
What a difference it makes. Our mess is contained behind our curtain. The large swath of purple fabric still draws customers' eyes in toward the back of the greenhouse, and our righthand corner is now much more shoppable.
Erik Friedli: Flamingo Road Nursery
As a merchandiser, I've been tackling "problem spots" for 20-plus years. Every store has them, and they change constantly. One needs to always look at their store with the eye of a customer and understand the psychology of retail. In merchandising, our goal is to create "sugar trails" for customers to follow, and if they get confused or refuse to follow where we want them to, then we need to examine where we've failed.
Often, it is the smallest detail that has the greatest impact on whether a customer will shop an area or not. In merchandising, our goal is to make them do it our way. Listen to Dave Matthews' "Ants Marching," then stand back and watch customer traffic through the store. If the customers are not walking the same way, stopping where you want them to, picking up those impulse items, then it's time to change the displays and layout because they are not working. When it comes together right, one should be able to watch traffic flow and say with confidence, "That couple is going to stop at the fertilizer, then go look at those pots across the way."
Gail Vanik: Four Seasons Greenhouse & Nursery
For years, we had low metal shelving in a row of three sections which held our chemicals, seed starting supplies and fertilizers. Last year, in an effort to pare down products that were no longer good movers, we eliminated one of the sections of shelving, replacing it with the seed racks. This served to open up that space and make it more shoppable, plus it became less cluttered looking.
This year, we eliminated a second section of shelving, replacing it with an octagonal section from Bench Systems on which we display houseplants. This has increased houseplant sales, changed the traffic pattern and served to open up another section of the hardgoods section to a more airy, easier-to-shop look.
These changes increased visibility for our back wall, which is where the chemicals ended up. It also increased visibility for the wall, which holds the gloves, knee pads, etc. It's amazing what a little rearranging can do! I still have one section of the hated metal shelving to go, so that's my "creative management" project for next year! But overall, you'd be surprised how many customers think you've done major renovations when in reality you've only changed one or two little things.

LANSING (WKZO) -- A new effort is underway at the state Capitol to expand Michigan's bottle deposit law to include water bottles and other beverages. Michigan residents have been paying a dime on every can and bottle of beer, pop and wine coolers for decades.
State Senator Rebekah Warren of Ann Arbor is sponsoring the latest attempt to expand the deposit law. Every time it's come up in the past, the bottled beverage industry's lobbyists have managed to kill it.

District 1 candidate: Lee Rothenberg
Date: January 13, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Lee Rothenberg is making up for lost time.
The 84-year-old mayor of Longboat Key has been criticized by some in the past few months after he made the decision to run for another term.
But the way Rothenberg sees it, he owes it to himself — and the residents — to run.
"I always had an interest in civic affairs, but I couldn't participate when I was younger because I was always away on business," Rothenberg says. "So when I came down here, I made it my priority to give back to my community."
The first thing he did once he and his wife, Frances, settled into their Country Club Shores home was attend Town Commission meetings.
Before he knew it, Rothenberg was making comments at the podium about plans for a town tennis center and was appointed to a committee that helped form what is now the Longboat Key Public Tennis Center.
That two-year appointment turned into a 10-year planning board stint, a charter-review committee appointment, three terms as a commissioner and many years of service to the Metropolitan Planning Organization.
Asked what's left to give, Rothenberg laughs. "My daughter thinks I'm crazy for wanting to run again," Rothenberg says. "But it's my civic duty, and I love my community."
Rothenberg has overseen the town's last beach renourishment, watched Town Hall and the new police-and-fire stations be built and witnessed the growth of the tennis center.
But he wants to be a part of more.
"I want to be a part of The Longboat Key Club's plans," Rothenberg says.
A Cornell University graduate with a mechanical engineering degree that he received in between two years of service to the Navy during World War II, Rothenberg spent 30 years in New York working his way up the ladder of a machinery-manufacturing company.
In 1979, he moved to Chicago to take a job with a then-bankrupt company called International Honeycomb Corp. Within a couple of months, Rothenberg was named president, general manager and chief executive officer of the company, leading the paper-packaging company out of bankruptcy by improving company efficiencies, developing better equipment and making it the most successful honeycomb company in the world.
Rothenberg retired in 1983, and after driving the state with his wife looking for a place to live, they settled on Longboat Key. They thought it was the perfect combination — beaches, scenery, community and housing.
But the more than 40-hour work weeks of volunteer service as mayor don't leave him much time these days to enjoy his retirement paradise.
Rothenberg doesn't seem to mind, though.
"I want to do everything I can to preserve the Longboat way of life for everyone else," Rothenberg says. "This town and its commissioners exist for one reason only — to serve the public."
Contact Kurt Schultheis at email@example.com
Lee Rothenberg
Age: 84
Family: Wife, Frances; two daughters in New York; and two granddaughters.
Professional: President and chief executive officer of a light-manufacturing business.
Hometown: Richmond, Va.
Passion: The welfare of Longboat Key and maintaining its lifestyle; and tennis (plays three to four times a week)
Interesting fact: Rothenberg and his wife like to take exotic foreign trips. Past trips include visits to the Persian Gulf, Tahiti and China.
Q&A with Lee Rothenberg
How should the town handle a pension shortfall of more than $26 million?
We have to find ways to pay down the unfunded liability. We also have to make every effort to save money that can be used to pay down the unfunded liability. You have to be careful that in doing this, you do not damage the situation of all present employees.
Should the town be spending $25,000 for a consultant to combat the city of Sarasota's roundabout plan?
The money has been spent already, and there is no more money to be spent on that subject. It's important that Longboat Key and all the barrier islands fight against roundabouts, especially at Gulfstream and U.S. 41.
How should the town move forward with its north-end erosion problems?
We are doing the right things by placing temporary sand there. We will participate in a new study of Longboat Pass that will help. Sand is also coming available from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. But each of these things takes at least a minimum of a year to come to fruition. I'm also in favor of the breakwaters.
What are your thoughts on The Longboat Key Club's Islandside renovation and expansion project?
I have no thoughts. I can't say anything until I review the project. My mind is open regarding the project and I will make a decision based on the facts that are presented to me.

The African American Chamber was asked our opinion on the project at the beginning of 2014, and we did not offer one. Why?

Evolution: "just a theory". Scientific caution is sometimes confusing.
The fact that our best available theories are still speculations misleads some people to believe that these ideas are not founded. Hence, some people suppose their uneducated opinion is just as bad, or as good, as the mainstream scientific hypothesis.
This trend is probably led by the way science has been taught, i e as a flawless method that offers facts about reality.
And by pre-scientific philosophy, still strong in our modern societies.
Evolution is "just a theory" the way Notre Dame is "just a pile of rocks", isn't it?

Dave GearJun 7 2013: If you believe in creation, then you believe that God/Allah created everything perfectly, then you believe that God / Allah created DNA and that God /Allah ordained sexual reproduction. DNA and sexual reproduction GUARANTEE evolution. So NOT to believe in evolution is a blasphemy because God / Allah's creations are perfect, so evolution is the perfect way to create living diversity. Any religious leader who preaches otherwise is commiting a blasphemy and by so doing is misleading people like Muhammad Ali.
Jun 7 2013: I am not sure that all major religions are fixed on that interpretation of creationism. Didn't the Church in Rome recently come out and state that evolution is scientific theory and creationism is a theological precept?
This would imply some separation of religious theory and science is appropriate. Works for me.
Jun 9 2013: Why not? Who says that God's days are not over 2 billion years long. Theology is not science.
Much of the book of Genesis is based on legend. Language of the day was not liberally sprinkled with descriptive adjectives as I understand.
Who is to disprove that "Natural" law is God's law. I can't.
So, is Genesis absolutely true, I don't know
Is it all science? Again, I don't know, but I have to think that all the information to create the universe and all that is in it was in that little ball, whatever, that exploded to create the "big bang". How did it get there.
Jun 9 2013: Oh Mike,
"Who is to disprove that "Natural" law is God's law. I can't. "
Can you disprove Strobls' law (1st edition) that says "No gods exist or have ever existed"?
You're just making the scriptures match what you already believe. Who says that Gods days ARE two billion years?
There is no way to "disprove" that something that hasn't been proved is false. and God has NOT been proven.
Jun 9 2013: So, what's your take on psalm 137:9? What does it really mean?
Jun 9 2013: Let see, about 600 bce the Babylonians invaded Jerusalem and really wiped the floor with them.... Think of the invasion of Poland in '39 and multiplying that exponentially. OK, the surviving Jews were a tad upset. So, 137:9 is saying that the Jews would be happy if they could take babies from Babylonian mothers and kill them.
So, what does it mean... It means that those Jews were really ticked off.
Jun 9 2013: And while you're explaining the true meaning of the bible would you care to give your take on these verses and tell me what they really mean?
"I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must be quiet." (1 Timothy 2:12)
"Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses." (1 Samuel 15:3)
"You shall not let a sorceress live." (Exodus 22:18)
"When the men would not listen to his host, the husband seized his concubine and thrust her outside to them. They had relations with her and abused her all night until the following dawn, when they let her go. Then at daybreak the woman came and collapsed at the entrance of the house in which her husband was a guest, where she lay until the morning. When her husband rose that day and opened the door of the house to start out again on his journey, there lay the woman, his concubine, at the entrance of the house with her hands on the threshold. He said to her, 'Come, let us go'; but there was no answer. So the man placed her on an ass and started out again for home." (Judges 19:25-28)
"And the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity." (Romans 1:27)
Jun 9 2013: They probably mean what they say. Man's relationships with his fellow man is and always has been "challenging". Rape, murder, mayhem.... They killed witches back then and in Europe just a few hundred years ago. The bible first and foremost is a history of the Jews and subsequently the Christians. I don't know the "true meaning " of the bible, that's for theologians.
I do think that we shouldn't rule out an intelligent designer in the creation of our universe
Jun 10 2013: I agree with Mike. I think, Bible is a mirror for humanity. It has stories ranging from the highest degree of self-sacrifice down to the lowest depravity. (You missed child cannibalism in Kings 6:6 and eating human feces in Ezekiel). No wonder, so many people don't like what they see in the Bible. I think, most stories are there for reflection. Interpretation and meaning depends on what we see in that reflection.
Jun 9 2013: Mike,
"Nobody is usually that sure unless they are wrong." I completely agree. My extreme position is overplayed, but I do it to balance the debate out.
I'm actually (teapot) agnostic, as are almost all atheists. I take the position of atheism to counter the position of theism. There are hundreds of comments everywhere stating that God exists, is great and all loving. But when one makes the opposite statement people get offended...
Jun 10 2013: The church of England also accepts the science of evolution
The bible god concept is a bit schizophrenic. Kill everyone one day. Love they neighbour the next. Blood sacrifices finally torturing for eternity those who use there brains to figure out there is no reason to believe or are convinced of some other gods

bareMinerals ORIGINAL SPF 15 Foundation Reviews
I'll Stay with Traditional FoundationI'm a fan of the fact that this foundation is all-natural and good for skin. I also love the fact that I can combine hues for the perfect shade for my complexion.

Bare Minerals FoundationThis product has very light coverage. I don't see how they can call it a foundation. It deposits into lines and wrinkles and still shows flaws.

Overrated.I received a free "10-day sample" of Bare Escentuals and was so excited to try it! Unfortunately, it really doesn't work well for me as a foundation. I have oily skin that isn't sensitive at all, and acne/scarring so I need at least medium coverage. I'm only 23 so no wrinkles or anything. Bare Escentuals did not cut it for me. Despite their claims, the coverage isn't really buildable (I...read more had like 5 coats of the stuff on my face and it didn't seem that much better than ONE coat of my Maybelline pressed powder foundation or my Physician's Formula Talc-Free Mineral Powder). Even if it is "buildable", not worth wasting your time doing it. It didn't help with oil at all, but I'm not surprised by that. The worst part was that Bare Escentuals made my face itch! No, not a rash or anything, but it felt uncomfortable on my face and there is no way I'm paying ANYthing for a product that feels like that on my face. (Physician's Formula is 1/3 of the price and doesn't make my face itch either, so I'll stick with that!) To sum up, Bare Escentuals is nice powder that is nice and fine, but doesn't really provide good coverage, nor does it control oil well and definitely not worth the money. — 5 years, 5 months agoLipglossandSpandex | 521 reviews

Fantastic foundation!When I started using this product 10 years ago, I never dreamed what a life changer it would be for me. Before I used it I didn't have a beauty routine to speak of. Once I tried this foundation and saw the difference it made in my appearance, it was easy to remember to use it each and every morning.

First of all, I want to state that this foundation does not work for me WITHOUT applying a good foundation primer and a concealer.

But I do like the natural look this powder gives my face. Again without a primer or bareMinerals' all-over face color "Warmth", I would not love this foundation this much. I'll probably use liquid makeup when the weather is dry, but if I have to pick up power-based makeup, this will definitely be my first choice. — 3 years, 11 months agoluckybetty | 895 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
I bought this at the Christmas sale when they was discontinuing the almond body butter. I'm not sure if its the almond ones or just my one but the texture of it is a lot thicker and solid than the other Body Shop body butters. I love the smell of this and the smell can last up to hours on the skin. Because of the thickness of the cream it does take a while to rub in and ensure all areas are covered. It is a great moisturiser (I have very dry skin on my body) and gives my skin a noticeable smoothness. Also because of the thickness it is a good moisturiser for the feet.
I have given it an overall rating of 4 instead of 5 because it takes a while to rub in, the product in the tub doesn't last that long and so I wouldn't pay the full £10 for it, even at half price I think it is a little pricey although I would repurchase at £5 (not that I can now its been discontinued).
I fell in love with this body butter. It smells of marzipan and it's a real pleasure to apply it in the morning.
What I also really like about this product is that it's very rich. I apply quite a lot on the skin of my arms so my clothes will smell of it too! I'm there every day, sniffing my upper arms :)
I was a bit sad because they don't sell it in Belgium anymore, but I went in a shop and they sold 2 for the price of 1 until sold out so I bought 2.
I love this stuff! The smell is so yummy! It's a great moisturizer too! I like the body butters from the body shop much better than bath and body works!
I've used a lot of body butters from The Body Shop in the past: coconut, moringa, strawberry, shea, mango. When this appeared in stores, I was pretty excited because I loveeeeeee almond smells.
It's probably just my nose, but to me this somehow smells more like cotton candy -- or just sugar, really really really really sweet marzipan -- than the kind of warm simple nutty smell I was hoping for. It's still pleasant, but not quite what I expected.
This does moisturise well though, if you like the smell.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this body butter when it became discontinued and put on the clearance rack for $10. This was actually my first body shop body butter purchase because $20 was too pricey for me, but I'm much happier now that they lowered the price to $18 (they were $16 for quite a while!) and combined with promotional events (buy 3 get 2 free/ 50% off everything in the bag), the body shop offers a good quality body butter for a reasonable price.
I found the consistency of the Almond one to be thicker than some of the other fruitier scents, probably because it's prescribed for normal/dry skin. I warm it up in my hands first and though it first feels a bit oily on the skin, it absorbs quite nicely after a bit. I have really dry skin and this kept my arms and legs moisturized a good portion of the day.
As for the scent, it's not as powerful and annoying as some of the others. To me, it smells a lot like almond milk (or Chinese almond dessert / almond tea)... not too sweet, and not too bitter. It also fades after an hour or so, making it good for going out if you prefer more subtle scents.
The packaging, as with all Body Shop body butters, is the only downside to this product. I just don't like products where I have to dip my fingers into the container as it isn't very sanitary or user friendly. Maybe one day, they will put it into a squeeze tube and make me happy.
Overall, love this product and will buy it again. Perhaps not my favourite BB, but it is one I enjoy using and I am sad it got discontinued. My guess is that it will be re-promoted again sometime in the future.
Update: They have the Almond Body Butter again for $18.
Edit: As of Aug 2011, I have decided to cut the amount of products I have with parabens and products with "fragrance" listed in the ingredients. I am sad to say I will not be repurchasing this (even though I love the smell!) after I am finished with my current tub. Hopefully, the Body Shop will decide to eliminate parabens and some other chemicals from future formulas so I can embrace their yummy products again.
This is a great moisturizer. I bought it without sampling because there was an online sale. I'm certainly very happy with it. The only reason I would not repurchase this BB is my personal preference, the fragrance completely dissappears on my skin, and I like my BB to have some nice scent. Of course some people hate smelling their lotion all day, in which case I would say this is the BB for you, it's a great all-day moisturizer. I still reach for it on days when I know I'll be wearing a heavier perfume.
Smells great in the Jar, like artificial almonds. But the scent changes ALOT (like a vanilla slightly almond flower, it actually smells similar to the perfume Lolita Tempika) on the skin, probably due to my own natural body scent. I was very unhappy that the sweet almond scent would disappear o I brought Imitation Almond Extract from Shoprite and added a few drops to the jar and mixed it in. So after I did that the almond smell lingers on my skin a little longer.Very moisterizing, I didn't scoop a whole bunch and put it on, i only used a little and it made my skin really soft and i have really dry skin. I keep smelling myself as I'm typing this, its really a nice scent, but if you want the almond smell to last longer then a minute on the skin, add almond extract!
Who doesn't have a soft spot for artificial almond smell? - you know, not exactly nutty, like real amonds or almond oil, but sugary sweet like a marzipan pastry. That's what this lotion smells like, though compared to most of the other TBS body butters, it's practically bitter. I'm becoming addicted to it, and that's saying something considering how picky and judgmental I am when it comes to sweet scents. Although I gave it four lippies here, my "true" rating would be closer to a 3.5.
Cons: It takes a while to absorb and seems to never absorb fully -- when I shower or wash my hands, I can feel it slipping off my skin. And it's expensive.
Pros: SCENT. My application ritual with it has never failed to make me feel pampered and sensual, and, of course, it makes my skin super soft.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The smell of this is nothing short of NAUSEATING, jheeze! it smells nothing like almonds either (i mean what do nuts even smell like?) but rather leans towards a more overpowering cherry like smell. Did not like such a strong scent all over body at all so swiftly returned.
smell aside i wasnt that wowed by the moisturisation either to warrant all the hype.
This is a nice product, moisturises very well and makes skin nice and soft. I bought this in sale for £5, I wouldn't have paid the full £12 for it as I'm really not a fan of the smell, but for the price I paid it's well worth it!

Welcome to IEA Wind Member Country Activities for Chinese Wind Energy Association
In 2012, 12,960 MW of new wind capacity was installed in China, increasing the accumulated capacity to 75,324.2 MW. During the year, wind power generated 100.4 TWh of electricity replacing nuclear power as the third largest electricity source in China. But compared to conventional power, wind power only accounted for 2% of generation, so there is a high potential for growth. In the future, wind power could and should play a more important role in the clean and sustainable energy and electricity supply.
After years of rapid development, China's wind power industry has entered an adjustment period and development has slowed. The industry has shifted from expansion of quantity to the improvement of quality. The government and enterprises are paying attention to improving the quality of the Chinese wind power industry. In 2012, grid integration and consumption were the most important bottlenecks that restrict China's wind power development. The government is taking policy, management, and technical measures to overcome these problems.
The 12th Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy Development and the 12th Five-Year Plan for Wind Power Industry Development were released in 2012. They set clear wind power development and technology goals for 2015 and 2020. The report at the 18th CPC National Congress clearly stated that the Chinese government will promote the construction of ecological civilization, work hard to build a beautiful country, and support the development of energy-efficient and low-carbon industries, as well as new and renewable energy sources. China's 2012 Energy Policy states that by the end of 2015 the consumption of non-fossil energy will account for 11.4% of primary energy consumption and the proportion of non-fossil energy installed capacity will reach 30%. Compared to 2010, the energy consumption per gross domestic product (GDP) will be reduced by 16% and the emission of CO2 per GDP will be reduced by 17%. Read the entire report here.

Look westward after sunset on June 1, 2014 to see the waxing crescent moon and brilliant planet Jupiter lighting up the evening twilight. If it's at all clear, it'll be hard to miss them, because the moon and Jupiter are so bright! They are the brightest and second-brightest celestial bodies in the June 2014 evening sky.
Mercury, the innermost planet of the solar system, won't be so easy to spot, but you can find it, too, if you look. This world stays out for about 90 minutes after sunset at mid-northern latitudes right now, although it is not particularly bright. In fact, Jupiter outshines Mercury by over 20 times at present. Moreover, Mercury lurks closer to the glare of evening twilight and sets sooner after the sun. So start your planet search soon after sunset, if you want to see Mercury.
To see Mercury, first find an unobstructed western horizon. Then use the moon's bow-shaped crescent, which points in the general direction of Mercury. Depending on how clear your sky is, you might – or might not – need binoculars to spot Mercury near the horizon. However, binoculars enable you to catch this planet all the sooner after sunset. Possibly, you'll see this world around 60 to 75 minutes after sundown.
After this evening, Mercury will come closer and closer to Earth, until it swings in between the Earth and sun on June 19, 2014. This passage will take Mercury out of our evening sky and into our morning sky.
Mercury is an unusual planet in that it dims as it gets closer to Earth. The reason is that Mercury orbits the sun closer in than Earth. As seen from Earth, it shows phases, like our moon. In the weeks before its June 19 passage between us and the sun, Mercury's shrinking phase will cause this rocky world to lose its luster.
Bottom line: Use the bright waxing moon and planet Jupiter to help you locate Mercury in early June. Mercury will soon disappear into the glare of evening twilight and will pass between the Earth and sun on June 19.
