works okay but leaves out the important part of the trail only gives way points if you set them as you go otherwise it just gives a straight return to start.
very slow. dont know weather to trust it or not. kinda points in all directions.
Looks great. Haven't tried it out yet. Measures 3.25" by 2" with a carabiner clip on a strap, and a storage case. Says it is water resistant, save up to 5 locations, distance to location (I like that feature), provides lattitude & longitude, WAAS enabled - corrects GPS errors for more accuracy, and has a 2-year warranty. Takes 2 AAA batteries.
These GPS locators really do work, as so as I opened the box I located them on the bottom. Seriously, if I may, they work as described and much easier than the more expensive one that my brother bought. They are back lit and waterproof too.
Easy to use,,,great value!

Have you noticed how many and how frequently people have their utilities turned off in the wintertime? Ever spend a few nights in an apartment or home without heat? I would think that most of you would like to restrain the public utilities from their ability to shut people off as easily as they do.
It gets a bit frustrating when one realizes how many PUC people are former big utility employees, so it's not likely that you'll get much relief or support from these alleged "public servants," many of whom appear to P&J to be mere foxes assigned to the chicken house. This is a job (and an opportunity) for the much-maligned (and rightly so) General Assembly.
House Bill 6079 will be introduced soon (we hope). Here is what it would provide: If your income is less than 150 percent of the federal poverty level, you will have to pay no more than 10 percent of your income for utilities and, when you pay on time, your back bill will be forgiven up to three years. Want to know more about the intent of this bill? Call the George Wiley Center at 401.728.5555. Maybe you'll even get to talk to our friend Henry Shelton, who has long been fighting the good fight around here to provide food, shelter, clothing, and all the basic things that humans need.
Your superior correspondents ran into Henry a few days ago and, as usual, he had a to-do list longer than Santa's. One of the things we talked about was how National Grid continues to clamor for more and bigger rate increases and how, unique in Vo Dilun, the town of Pascoag has its own municipal power company that has informed the PUC that they don't need a price increase but are in a surplus situation and would like to give its customers a refund.
The concept of actually running a utility company for the public's benefit and not for profit and doing it effectively and efficiently must strike terror into the hearts of the international wheeler dealer profiteers who run National Grid. P&J intend to talk with the folks who have the Pascoag franchise and encourage other local cities and towns embrace this model. We hope to report on the Pascoag experience in this space in the next week or two.

Fantastic tour. Highly recommended
Aviad M
A great way to sample this region's wines. We visited four wineries and tasted a variety of their wines, mostly Pinot Noir but also some white wines. In one of the wineries we had a nice lunch featuring local produce. The guide was knowledgeable and quite friendly. Highly recommended.
Excellent day. Penny was superb.
Penny our driver pick some of the best vineyards for us to visit. All of the wines were of New Zealands best!
The last vineyard our tour was the BEST. Our host and his wines were great and he was a very good spokesperson. I never had a Sov Blanc before. Very interesting wine it was.
Steve Coy
Wonderful. Wines were excellent, tour guide was just great, lots of info regarding where we were, where we were going to.
Karen Y
Excellent afternoon visiting 4 wineries - scenery of the way was beautiful too. All wineries were quite different known for their reislings and pinot noirs. Excellent Value
Wow what a fantastic afternoon! Our guide Keren was knowlegable and friendly, she took us too 4 fantastic winery's where we tried some delcious pinot noir, pinot gris, riesling and a few other verieties, the lunch we had was also delicious and thats is saying something coming from me as I love good food and dine out a lot. Thank you so much Keren for such a lovely day.
Our host was magnificent and informative. The day was full of information and the wineries were great. Thanks
Great guide, great tour!
Helen S
This wine tour was amazing, even in winter. Beautiful region, gorgeous flavours, great wine!
Really enjoyed the relaxed pace of the tour. The winery with the cheese plate in the morning was particularly welcome to manage to wine intake at that time of the morning.
Our guide provided a nice manner, plenty of information, not over the top, obviously had good understanding of the region and the wine industry.
Another couple cancelled and the tour ended up with just the two of us and the tour guide. He was a fantastic guide, giving us both the history of the region as well as all of the wineries that we visited and passed by. We chose the lunch tour and received an amazing selection of various meats, cheeses, and other delicious food to make the day a wonderful tour overall.
The wine touring of Central Otago was amazing! My wife and I had a great time sampling the many flavours of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris in the area and the other guests on the tour were a great group to talk with. Everyone from the driver to the staff in the wineries were very accommodating and knew their stuff when it came to both wine making and the history of the area. I was very glad I made the effort to take this trip nd would definitely do it again when I return.
Geri B
Had a great time a small group is a must.
It was a great full day of wine exploration. Almost all the wines and cheeses that we had were superb. I was cracking my brains on which to bring home. So many of them. However, some parts of the journey seems a little rush. No much time to decide on what wines we should get, or just have a few more pictures taken. Other than that, it was a perfect day out.

Patient Comments: Toothache - Describe Your Experience
How did you cope with your toothache?
Comment from: medime, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: May 06
I had a crown put on, and now I have been having so much pain in my jaw that it has gone into my ear and head. They are saying that I need a root canal, and that they cannot get me in until the end of the week. They gave me Vicodin. I started taking the medicine yesterday, and I am still in so much pain I can hardly stand it. The medicine is not working.
Comment from: momb, 65-74 Female Published: August 21
I have pain when touching, biting down, on an old crowed molar. I'm traveling for the next ten days but I think the least expensive way to solve my problem may be to extract it rather than root canal it. I'm on social security now and do not have insurance.
Comment from: mark08, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: July 31
I recently had a crown on a top of a back molar. I have had consistent pain for over two weeks after the temp crown and now after the permanent crown. It is totally manageable with 200 MG of Motrin every four hours. If a late on the Motrin dose the pain returns. I am traveling and can't get to a dentist for at least a week.
Comment from: latenightpain, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: July 31
I found my self up at three in the morning scouring the Internet for pain relief from a toothache. My tooth is half gone and I have no way to get it fixed and I couldn't take the pain any more aspirin works really well for a awhile, but you build a tolerance then I tried vanilla extract I didn't think it was going to work but to my pleasant surprise it worked very well sore but no pain I can sleep now.
Comment from: Moon, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: June 16
I'm suffering from severe toothache for the last 2 days due to origin of new tooth at the jaw. I'm 2 years old and female. This probably is making me suffer for the last 2 years. The teeth try to come out but finally they do not and almost every 6 months I have to suffer for this.
Comment from: love root canals, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: June 16
A recent toothache bottom left molar (no. 18) was repaired with my first root canal at the suggestion of my long time family dentist. Excellent dental history. However, I'm still experiencing discomfort and pain. It's as if nothing was done. I know there is no root and there should be no pain. I don't understand. What is up? I'm reluctant to revisit my dentist and look like an idiot, but I need relief.
Comment from: geenastarr, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: June 16
utilize Ambesol along with very cold compresses to temporarily ease the pain. Throbbing and intense, the pain feels as though it is emanating from the tooth itself and the surrounding gum area always has certain spots where I can feel the pain emanating from more intensely. I apply and hold Ambesol with my pinky finger and hold it there with very little pressure, which I feel helps the product to work a bit better! Anyone with this pain knows that even the strongest of narcotic pain relievers will not ease it. It is the pain of an infection in the area. Antibiotics are the only thing that can and do stop the pain and then the issue must be dealt with, if not the pain will return but only worse!
Comment from: obstreperous, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: June 16
I am currently coping with an abscess in a molar tooth that had a root canal and crown done about 3 years ago. If it can't be fixed today, I will have it pulled today. This is the worst pain imaginable. Percocet doesn't even help at all. I am currently taking 800 mg. Motrin every 6 hours and Tylenol 1000 mg in between. Hope my liver holds out. On the 1-10 pain scale, this is a 20. I do have a high tolerance for pain. I went through labor and delivery of my son with no pain medicine, no epidural, no nothing. Also broke my leg in 3 places several years ago and coped without meds. Anyone who hasn't had tooth pain can't understand how bad it is.

Ideas for lower carb make ahead dinner party fare.
Having a tree trimming party on Sat, so don't want to be fussing around with the food. One of the guests is a little freakish about carbs. All I can really think up is turkey meatloaf with sides (some of which she can skip). Other ideas. Most stews seem so carby and odd to serve alone.
What about soup or chili? Low-fuss once you get them going and perfect for cold weather. My veg-beef soup can go low-carb in a heartbeat by skipping the potatoes, and since my chili doesn't use any beans, it's also an easy low-carb winter fix. (Don't worry about the "high carb" tomatoes/onions/carrots - every low carber I know is a low-carber, not a "no" carber.
Oh, and don't forget deviled eggs - everyone seems to like deviled eggs around the holidays.
For my tree-trimming party, I usually serve a spiral-cut ham with fixings on the side so people can make sandwiches (sliced cheese, bread, honey mustard, etc.) I also serve a variety of prepared salads (potato salad, coleslaw, tomato & hearts of palm salad, green salad), a cheese plate and crudite with dip, so there's something for everyone (your friend who is avoiding carbs can eat the veggies, the salad and the ham and cheese). Nothing has to be served hot so there's no last minute fuss.
You could have a whole cooked turkey. My favorite lo-carb is a Cobb salad. Think about offering roasted nuts..almond, cashews. Smoked salmon and cream cheese are low carb. I like to mix the two together and stuff into celery stalks, or offer as a dip with veggies. Lots of cheeses are pretty low carb. I make a hot crab dip that's low carb with mayonaise and cream cheese. A frittata with eggs, cheese and veggies is low carb.
I'm making chicken wings for a baby shower this weekend for the low carbers among us. If your party will be a stand around eating while trimming the tree kind of dinner party, that's an idea. Chicken skewers are another idea, using BS thighs if you don't care about fat and BS breasts if you do. Avoid teriyaki or other sweet sauces for your wings or skewers if you go with this idea.
Oh and I'm ok with having cooked meat sit at at room temp for a couple hours, so if you or your guests are not then meat is not a good a idea. I feel either wings or skewers are ok cooked ahead and served at room temp or reheated slightly.
You can make a lasagne ahead of time, using thinly sliced, baked zucchini slices (slice lengthwise as thin as you can, season, bake until dry-ish) for the noodles. It's a good way to add vegetables to anyone's diet.
I'd suggest going Italian.
- A big antipasto tray with a couple kinds of salami, cheeses, assorted olives, marinated artichoke hearts, hot peppers, etc.
- Made ahead and reheated italian sausage with peppers and onions.
- A simple pasta with sauce of your choice
- Green Salad
Your low carber will be delighted with the choices.
Swedish meatballs, or Italian polpetti? You can make them ahead and they reheat nicely. Mark Bittman has some nice recipes in his NYT column this week... here's a link.
I second the rec for a make-it-yourself bar, but tostado/taco style. If you really wanted to go out of your way, you could buy the low-carb La Tortilla Factory tortillas, but your low carber could easily do without.
Taco shells or Tortillas
Bowl shredded lettuce
Stir-fried ground beef and or turkey
Grilled or sauteed onions with peppers
Cheese Cheese Cheese
Plus margaritas :) (straight alcohol is carb free without the margarita mix...)
Other options include a crustless quiche, endive lettuce cups filled with _______, parmesan crisps (baked parmesan spread into circles at 450F), baked salami crisp slices, layered tomato, basil, and mozzarella drizzled with oil and balsamic (lightly), roasted veggies (like cauliflower and eggplant drizzled with olive oil) or grilled veggies with garlic salt, etc.
Sometimes my husband and I will do the low carb diet on a Saturday while watching the games, and instead of dinners or lunch, I will make only appetizers. We love to do this, it's like our own little party!
Thai Turkey lettuce wraps - we are so hooked/they are the best!
Shrimp with a low carb cocktail sauce and lemon
Italian chicken drummies in parmesean with marinara dip
Deluxe stuffed mushrooms -with procuitto, parmesean, mushroom, garlic and scallion
Super stuffed eggs- with olives and pimento
Chicken or beef satay - with a light peanut/cilantro/mint sauce
Baby Shrimp Egg foo Young with shrimp and sauce(use wondra)
Portabello pizzettes
Apple sausages with horseradish mustard glaze
Stuffed cherry tomatoes with smoked salmon/dill/red onion and cream cheese
I will make about 5 different one if it is just the two of us, more if the kids are around. I can't keep the lettuce wraps,they fly off the plate.My boys love these so much that they now can make them.

History of Bhangra
History of Bhangra
History of Bhangra has crossed a long path from celebration of life in Baisakhi to the party celebrations in twenty-first century.
Historians speculate that the Bhangra dance may have originated in the time of the wars with Alexander, but no one is sure it existed until about five hundred years ago. Around 14th or 15th Century, Punjabi wheat farmers used to sing and dance about village life while working in the fields. With the passage of time, these became part of harvest celebrations at
(April 14) that became popular as the Baisakhi festival, celebrated for the advent of the harvesting season and also to cherish the last season`s fruit bearing.
In post independence India the art and culture of the country were brought into focus where numerous dance forms and music gharanas came to the forefront in the process of popularising the art. Bhangra became popular in the 20th century. It was during 60`s and 70`s that Bhangra became a mass phenomenon as a dance form all over India. The notable singers who made Bhangra popular are Kuldip Manak, Amar Singh Chamkila, and A. S. Kang. Kuldip Manak is known as the Bhangra legend who wrote hundreds of songs, many of which are covered and remixed by contemporary artists. Amar Singh Chamkila was a legend of Punjabi Folk who has a controversial career of writing vulgar and offensive lyrics, was killed at the age of twenty-seven. He wrote almost two hundred songs many of which was not released, and are recorded and released by the contemporary artists.
Bhangra music rise to the international scenario with the advent of the 80`s when a man called Malkit Singh entered the tradition of Punjabi Folk Music. He was known as `the golden voice of the Punjab` with his debut album `Nach Gidhe Wich`, released in 1984. Another singer named Gurdaas Mann popularise Bhangra during the 80`s with his debut album Dil Da Mamla. A group named Heera, started by Kumar and Dhami, was one of the popular Bhangra bands of 80`s released there debut album `Diamonds` which is notable for being one of the first Bhangra albums to mix successfully Western drums and synthesizers with traditional Punjabi instruments.
Bhangra dance took a huge step towards mainstream credibility in the 1990s, especially among youths. At the beginning of the nineties, many artists returned to the original, folk beats of Bhangra, often using more Dhol drum beats and Tumbi. This era also saw the rise of several young Punjabi singers. In recent times various forms of Bhangra are coming to the fore with newer scope and possibilities of taking Bhangra to a different high. Film songs are much more influenced by Bhangra music nowadays. The nature of music and dance remains the same but the presentation has gone a sea change that envisages new techniques and experimental music arrangements to capture the mood of the listeners. Whatever may be the change, the main purpose of Bhangra remain the same that of entertainment, joyous mood and celebration of life and that is the reason that nowadays Bhangra is played in almost all kinds of happy occasions.

Ann All spoke with Bob Mathers, a principal consultant for Compass Management Consulting, about insourcing. Mathers will lead a webinar called "Risks and Benefits of Repatriating Outsourced Services" at 11 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, June 23. You can register to attend the webinar on the Compass site.
All: Are companies more interested in repatriation now than they have been in recent years? If so, why?
Mathers: I think they are. The visceral, knee-jerk explanation for it is it's due to dissatisfaction with the outsourcing marketplace. I think there's some truth to that, but I also think we're seeing more of these massive, long-term agreements coming up and so we're seeing organizations look at different ways of sourcing, maybe chopping these 10-year deals into shorter agreements, taking one deal into four or five shorter deals with narrower scope. As you do that, you want to evaluate all of your options.
"Transition is more well understood than it used to be. There are people who can do it well, and in a fairly short period. The stories of difficult transitions, like any good stories, tend to take on a life of their own."
All: Some organizations might even decide to continue to outsource some functions and to bring some others back in-house?
Mathers: Absolutely. We're seeing clients pushed to multisourcing. We're seeing shorter terms, clients demanding more flexibility in those contracts. So instead of these massive agreements where the topic of repatriation comes up literally only once every dozen years, we're seeing organizations with more contracts. The shorter duration means the terms are staggered and the conversation is coming up more frequently because organizations are almost in a continual cycle of evaluating their options.
A lot of organizations have some mix of internal and external service provision. As they mature in the services they deliver internally, they may feel they get better at it and think, "Hey, we can do a better job at a lower cost."
All: Do you think the current political environment is causing more organizations to consider insourcing functions that are outsourced in an offshore environment?
Mathers: I don't think so. With offshoring, I think we've seen inflation in some of the most popular offshoring countries, so the labor arbitrage advantage is fading. Some of our larger clients have captive service provisions. So you don't always need to rely on an outsourcer. To say it another way, repatriating doesn't mean you have to do everything onshore.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
90% Merlot - 10% Cabernet Franc.
Between elegance, power and smoothness, the wines of Château LATOUR show a
perfect balance.
"Licorice, chocolate and black plums all show immediately in this rich, dense wine. Sweet tannins combine with fresh tobacco smokiness over jammy, ripe fruit. This array of flavors is kept in check by the over-arching acidity."

Wine Enthusiast
"Raspberry and floral aromas follow through to a medium-to-full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a chocolate, cream and cedar aftertaste. This has mellowed with time. Best after 2012. 2,080 cases made."

This charming chateau, embellished by a small tower, is located close to the church in the village of Pomerol. Acquired in 1917 by Mrs. Loubat, the then famous proprietor of PETRUS, the vineyard was owned by her niece, Mrs. Lacoste, for 40 years before she donated it to the Fondation de Foyers de Charite de Chateauneuf de Galaure in 2002.
The vineyard, with an average age of 35...Read More About Chateau Latour A Pomerol
Small and Seductive
It's a tiny region, and it has no classification system. But the wines produced from Pomerol can be sensuous and life-changing. Here lies Chateau Petrus, one of the most expensive and sought-after wines of the world - many vintages commanding prices higher than the first-growth chateaux of the Medoc. The area is all vines, with no real town...Read More About Pomerol

Well! Ed Sheeran doesn't think he's sexy, but his fans certainly do (just watch them foam at the mouth when he starts strumming on that guitar), and so his willingness to participate in People's Sexiest Man Alive issue was all about that — not being sexy.
As he explained in the mag, accompanied by a rather dashing photo (where he does look quite handsome, so who knows): "One of the reasons I said yes to being in this issue is because it's quite funny. Utterly ridiculous! I don't think anyone sees me as a sex symbol."
He continued:
I don't know who the voting party are for PEOPLE, but thank you. It's very kind. But I'm sure I'm the only person on this list who has a belly. Though I guess Austin Powers was considered a sex symbol, and we share similar physical-appearance qualities. I brush my teeth though. My other usual grooming habits are showering and a shave now and then. Sometimes I put on a suit. Or not! I get voted worst-dressed quite a lot, so I obviously don't put much thought into it. I should probably cut down on the junk food and beer and try to have a healthier approach to life. But I won't. I say that every year, but I like living. I like enjoying myself. I haven't been allowed to tell anyone about being in this issue, but as soon as it's out, I'm going to use it as a chat-up line.
Maybe there's truth in that whole thing about how there's nothing sexier than being yourself. (Or maybe being a global superstar who writes heartbreakingly beautiful love songs has something to do with it.)
