The Linking Rings is by far the most requested effect we carry! Not only is it a very popular part of most professional magicians' acts, it is a fascinating effect to watch. (To be honest, some customers purchase this set so they can perform the trick for their audiences, but some customers purchase the trick because they just HAVE to know how it's done!!!)
And please note that this is a quality set of rings, not the cheap bargain set offered elsewhere! This is a set of eight compact size metal rings that mysteriously link and unlink at your command. This is a great size for small hands, and excellent for the closeup magician as well! The 5" size means they are lightweight and easily held by children, but make no mistake- this is a professional set, perfect for tucking into a closeup case if you are a restaurant worker or strolling magician.
This set comes with basic instructions. You'll learn the secret of making the rings link and unlink, plus a basic routine of some linking moves you can do. For more instruction and ideas for routines, you'll want to get the Complete Linking Rings Routines DVD.

Jakarta's Neo-Gothic Roman Catholic Church
Jakarta's precious Neo-Gothic Roman Catholic Cathedral stands on the north corner of Lapangan Banteng, or Banteng Square, which, during the Dutch colonial period was called Waterlooplein, or Waterloo Square in Central Jakarta. Today, the Cathedral stands right across Jakarta's largest mosque, the Istiqlal Mosque.
Their proximity is not a coincidence. Indonesia's first president, Soekarno, chose the site for the mosque on purpose, to symbolize the nation's philosophy of unity in diversity, where all religions could co-exist in peace and harmony.
Today, both religious establishments continue to cooperate with one another.

A bedspread that fits I have been searching for a bedspread for our queen bed that won't drag on the floor but that is long enough to pull back over our pillows. This one fits perfectly. An added bonus is a subtle chenille scallop that lines up with the edges of the bed, so it's easy to make sure the bedspread will hang evenly all around. And I love the old-fashioned look, like my grandma's bed! September 2, 2013
Absolutely LOVE The Vermont Country Store!!!! This is an absolutely fabulous vintage bedspread that is a timeless classic! Not only does it look beautiful, the quality is amazing! A sincere thank you for offering a variety of merchandise~ I especially love the throw-back brands from the 60's an 70's that I remember from my chilhood!! March 4, 2014
My Search Is Over I was looking for a chenille bedspread for my spare room. I wasn't having any luck at department stores. I was very pleased when I received the Vermont Country Store catalog in the mail. There it was! There was an odor so I washed it, but the scent remained. I should have rewashed right away, but since it took so long to dry on the low setting I tried just airing it outside on my deck in the cool sunshine. That did the trick. The distance from my floor to the top of my queen mattress is 28 inches. The spread almost touches the floor. I would not want it any shorter. I ordered this for decorative purposes only, so it does not bother me that the fabric that is not tufted is pretty light weight. I think it actually looks prettier on the bed than in the picture in the magazine. I would have given it a 4 1/2 if that had been an option. October 27, 2013
Reminds me of Grandmother and Granny... I am redecorating my bedroom as a tribute to both of my grandmothers . I searched high and low for a nostalgic chenille bedspread, and this is perfect. The spread is the perfect all season weight for me, and my bright quilt doesn't show through. As soon as I received the bedspread, I threw it in the washer (both because of a chemical smell from the plastic it was wrapped in, and because some mentioned a shedding issue.) It washed and dried beautifully. The colors in the catalog are true. I ordered the queen size, and it is a little long, but that's okay. I love the fringe on the bottom! Now everytime I open the bedroom door, I think of Grandma Mac and Granny. Thank you for such a wonderful, well-made product. October 1, 2013
Just beautiful!! After looking for a vintage bedspread for an antique bed for almost a year, I saw this one. I was unsure of purchasing it, but after receiving it and putting it on the bed. I couldn't be happier. It is absolutely beautiful and so well made. Even my granddaughter loves it and wants one for her bed. September 16, 2013
Grandma is Happy I have a very picky grandmother. At 89 years old, she has the right to be picky. Well I bought this bedspread for her for Christmas. When it came in the mail and I picked it up my first thought is "this is too light to be any good. Oh boy, is she going to be unhappy about this." Well, it was just the opposite. She loved the bedspread and is still brings it up everytime I go over to her house. Thank you Vermont Country Store. January 18, 2013
Christmas Gift For My Sis And she loves the bedspread! I helped her put it on her bed, and it was so pretty. She said it was also perfect for a cold night, which is rare here in Florida. I know I can trust The Vermont Country Store. January 9, 2013

Let's Do Sprinklez

Their focus is on healthy, natural cereals with rich taste, high nutritional value, and attention to quality.

Basic Information
EPAs role in the homeland security arena is to provide technical support to Federal, state, local, and tribal authorities, industry, and other stakeholders on waste management decisions before, during, and after a homeland security incidents occurs. Most homeland security incidents (e.g., acts of terrorism, large-scale natural disasters, major accidents, and animal disease outbreaks) involve waste management issues and decisions, which can significantly affect the cost and timeline of the response to and recovery from the incident. For example, terrorist events can result in large amounts of contaminated materials and debris, large-scale natural disasters can generate large quantities of mixed debris, and animal disease outbreaks may result in the need to treat and/or dispose of large volumes of contaminated carcasses. Therefore, we believe it is important to incorporate planning and stakeholder participation into the waste management decision-making process for homeland security incidents as early as possible.
Below you can find more information about our role in EPAs Homeland Security efforts.
- Promote waste management-related planning and preparation for natural and man-made disasters;
- Encourage stakeholders to begin thinking about waste management-related issues early in the decision-making process during a response to an incident;
- Provide technical support on waste management issues to Federal agencies and state, local, and tribal governments before, during, and after a homeland security incident and during preparedness efforts;
- Advise stakeholders on best waste management practices to protect human health and the environment;
- Review emergency response plans for Federal agencies for waste management-related issues;
- Participate in exercises with Federal, state, local, and tribal emergency responders;
- Update waste management guidance.
Goals and Objectives
- Support emergency responders and waste management decision-makers before, during, and after homeland security incidents and exercises;
- Increase a communitys preparation and knowledge before a natural or man-made disaster occurs;
- Comply with the National Incident Management System and all other Federal directives such as the Homeland Security Presidential Directives and the National Response Framework;
- Help advance the state of the knowledge involving waste management methods relevant to homeland security.

London – Some Hits & Some *Really* Woeful Misses at Rasa Malaysia, Bayswater
Rasa Malaysia (which translates from Malay as 'Taste of Malaysia') is a newish spot located in Berjaya Eden Park Hotel Bayswater, touting supposedly authentic Malaysian chow.
The restaurant also probably had an eye on the expat Malaysian community in London, which tend to favour Bayswater for its roast duck restaurants and the ever-popular Malaysian Hall Canteen.
What we tried:
- 'Assam laksa', the famous rice noodle dish from Penang with its trademark hot & sour flavors, spiked with prawn paste. It has the requisite taste, but the portion served was miserly, and one hardly discerned any fish flakes in the gravy. Let's put it this way, if one's first ever taste of 'assam laksa' was here, instead of back in Penang, you'd would have been consigned this dish to the dust-heap of history as one of the most regrettable item you'd ever had the misfortune of putting into your mouth.
- 'Nasi lemak', often regarded as Malaysia's national dish. Decent version here – coconut-scented rice, garnished with a couple of small morsels of spice-marinated fried chicken, 'sambal' (chili) prawns, hard-boiled egg, crisp-fried 'ikan bilis' (anchovies) & cucumber. The coconut milk used was the canned variety, but still fine. The prawns had a bouncy-fresh texture whilst the sauce in which it was cooked was perfect: spicy, sour, sweet.
- 'Roti canai', crisp & flaky here, was great. For the uninitiated, the 'roti canai' is Malaysia's take on Indian 'paratha', specifically the Keralan variety. Over at Rasa Malaysia, one can order it with either chicken or fish curry – both cooked Malaysian-style: thick, spicy and perfect to dunk pieces of the 'rotis' into. Both versions of curry we tried were tasty.
- 'Mee Mamak', a spicy fried noodle dish of Indian-Muslim origins in Malaysia. I'd say this is the best-executed dish in this restaurant: perfect blend of textures (soft Hokkien yellow noodles, crunchy tofu & fritters, 'choy sum' vegetables, beansprouts, shallots, egg) and flavors (slightly sweet, tomatoey, chilli-spicy). The one dish I'd come back for.
- Desserts: the Malaysian 'kuehs' served here were an unmitigated disaster – 'kueh salat', in the form most Malaysians would recognize, is a beautiful two-layered cake: the bottom layer being fragrant steamed and compressed pearl-colored glutinous rice, scented with coconut milk; topped by an upper layer of firm eggy-milky steamed custard which is tinged slightly olive-green by fresh pandan juice, which also lent it an aromatic fragrance. The version here (see pic) used artificial coloring which resulted in a shocking radioactive-green custard, so poorly made that the artificial coloring had also seeped into the glutinous rice. Tasted absolutely disgusting and was worse than any fake Malaysian 'kueh' I'd ever had in my life. Eclipsed even the previously "worst nyonya kueh spot in the world" I encountered earlier this year in Chennai, India - Bee's Kopitiam (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/844589).
The other 'kueh' was probably 'kueh bingka' – I'm just guessing here (seriously) because it was *so* bad, anything cooked by a pre-pubescent child in Home Science class in a Malaysian elementary school would probably taste better. I bet my bottom dollar – the 'kuehs' here are *not* cooked by a Malaysian chef, because they bore no resemblance to what Malaysians would know those 'kuehs' to be. Absolutely amateurish, half-hearted effort here, and an absolute sham.
If based upon the nightmarish Malaysian 'kuehs' alone, I'd never recommend anyone to try this restaurant – which is a pity because the 'mee mamak' was pretty decent.

Well, at least the dish you had wanted to try was good.
The kueh2 do look terrible. So sad.
The "assam laksa" looks nothing like what is advertised on their 'flyer': http://www.berjayahotel.com/flyer/lon...
No peanuts with your "nasi lemak"? They specifically mentioned peanuts in their description of the "nasi lemak ayam berempah" they offer.
The "mee mamak" does look similar although much browner. I guess the chef likely being a Mamak chap did matter. :-)
Is there a separate restaurant (separate from 'Eden Bar & Restaurant') and/or a separate kitchen for the Rasa Malaysia food?
re: huiray
Eden Bar & Restaurant did look like it's right next to Rasa Malaysia, so not sure if they have separate kitchens. The Bangladeshi maitre'd told me Rasa Malaysia's 'halal', but am not sure if the standards they apply here is as stringent as those in Malaysia.
Ah, their flyer - *nothing* we were served actually looked anything like the pictures in the flyer. The fried chicken in their 'nasi lemak' set were miniscule, whereas the ones shown on the flyer were generous pieces of fried chicken. Gross misrepresentation, I should say. And no peanuts in the 'nasi lemak' - maybe they were out-of-stock.
Not sure if this restaurant can last, at the rate they're going.
re: klyeoh
When I first read your review, I was a bit confused, because you seemed to be dissatisfied overall, but you made more positive comments than negative. So it's strange that you say you're not sure if the place can last, when a summary of your review is:
The Assam laksathe had the "requisite taste" - although you did say that it was a stingey portion and it didn't have enough fish.
The Nasi lemak was a "decent version"
The Roti canai was "crisp & flaky" and "great". And "both versions of curry we tried were tasty".
The Mee Mamak was a "perfect blend of textures ... the one dish I'd come back for".
The Malaysian 'kuehs' were "an unmitigated disaster".
Have I got the wrong end of the stick? The only negatives were the puddings and the comments about the first course (but which still had the right flavours) ... I kind of started to want to eat there because of the descriptions of individual dishes (and now knowing what to avoid!), but your overall comments don't seem to match your description of your experience.
re: Theresa
Hmm. I understand perfectly what klyeoh is saying. The "assam laksa", for example - when he says the "taste" is there but the rest of it is deficient - to me that means there is a basic semblance of what the stock ought to taste like, but the dsh as a whole - with the expected ingredients and add-ons - is simply not there. It is a MAJOR deficiency, not a trifling matter. His comment about if one sought to calibrate one's perception of the dish based on the rendition at Rasa Malaysia makes perfect sense to me.
In a similar vein, his other comments are sensible to me. Of course, he ought to respond to you directly.
re: Theresa
Theresa - perhaps I should have been more explicit:
Avoid the 'assam laksa', unless you have a very small appetite: you pay GBP7.50 for what amounts to 6-7 spoonfuls of noodles & soup which, although tasted pretty "authentic", did not have the right amount of shredded pineapple, cucumber, or onions. No torch ginger was used here, nor mint leaves. You probably get the requisite 'laksa taste' taste from frozen paste or powdered flavorings used. In Malaysia, something like this costs < GBP1, with fresher ingredients and replete with flaked fish meat - which you won't find in Rasa Malaysia's rendition.
'Nasi lemak' is pretty decent BY LONDON STANDARDS, but not something one will eat in Kuala Lumpur or anywhere in Malaysia. So, unless you're planning a holiday in Malaysia sometime soon, the one here will suffice.
The 'roti canai' iand 'mee mamak' are both good. If I have to come back to this restaurant - as a guest of someone else, not of my own choice or volition, of course - I would order either one of these.
"Malaysian kuehs" - disastrous.
If you want to eat Malaysian - go to Sedap at Old Street, or Singapore Garden at Swiss Cottage.
As for whether the place will last: well, better-positioned & better-established Malaysian spots like Melati (Soho) and Jom Makan (Trafalgar Square) have both gone bust very recently.
re: klyeoh
Thanks! Sorry if I was being picky - but I was genuinely confused by what seemed to be a pretty decent review :o).
I used to travel down to London all the time for work reasons, but I don't do much of that anymore. I've been to Sedap, but that was ages ago now, and would love to have somewhere like that near to where I live.
re: Theresa
No worries at all - always good to clarify. And to add to your confusion further, I was over at Malaysia Hall Canteen yesterday - the go-to place for all-things-Malaysian - tried the "Nasi Lemak" (as I'd mentioned - Malaysia's de facto national dish) - and it actually tasted worse than the one served at Rasa Malaysia!
The place was manned by Malay cooks brought in by the Malaysian government, and the spartan-looking cafeteria was filled to the brim with Malays (students, expats, visitors) - I was the only non-Malay there!
I was there to try the "Assam Laksa" actually, but was told it was not ready yet. Prices are low though - the "Nasi Lemak", which came with fried egg, spicy chicken "rendang", anchovies/ groundnuts, cucumbers & a huge dollop of red-hot "sambal" chili paste costed only £5.
The "kueh-kueh" (traditional Malay cakes) there looked pretty authentic, and they had this eye-popping spread of Malay dishes - not sure how the dishes there would taste: the current caterer is new (heard that the previous one stayed on in London but went on to open Tuk Din Malaysian restaurant nearby).

re: klyeoh
Y'know, I don't recognize the Queensborough Terrace address of Malaysia Hall. I remember it as *much* closer to Marble Arch, in fact it was "just up a bit" from there. I looked it up - and yes, it used to be in Bryanston Square.
Hmm, did we talk about this before? If so I don't remember that.
ETA: OK, you did mention it in an old thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/5755... which I never read before...
re: huiray
Oh yes, huiray - we did talk about this before:
re: klyeoh
Worth noting that you have to be a Malaysian citizen (or at least accompanied by one) to go here. I went a few weeks ago and got a big telling off. They did serve me in the end, but said quite clearly not to come back unless I was accompanied by a Malaysian.
re: deansa
The food's subsidized by the Malaysian government, and meant for their students, plus Malaysians passing by London, or those visiting their children who're studying here.
In the past - especially in their old Bryanston Square location, they were pretty lax about having non-Malaysians dining there. My last visit to that old location, I saw Arabs/Middle-Easterners, North Africans - most likely Muslims coming for 'halal' food as Malaysia Hall canteen's food are meant for the ethnic Malays from Malaysia, who's all Muslims.
But non-Muslim Malaysians, i.e. the ethnic Chinese-Malaysians and Indian-Malaysians also make a beeline there for the 'nasi lemak', Malay curries, 'assam laksa', etc. No problem for Singaporeans to go there as well, as one generally cannot tell Singaporeans & Malaysians apart.
Worth noting that the Bryanston Square location was closed due to cost-cutting measures by the Malaysian government during the last Asian financial crisis. Due to an uproar by the expat Malaysian community in London, and also generations of Malaysians who studied in the UK and had fond memories of the Malaysia Hall canteen, it was re-opened shortly thereafter in its current Queensborough Terrace location.
deansa, that's why the current caterers were so sensitive about selling subsidized food to those who're obviously non-Malaysians - they'd probably been warned not to do so by the Malaysian government.

Burning US Flag A Felony or Free Speech [VIDEO]
A few protesters in Washington DC thought it would send a powerful message to burn an American flag in front of the White House. Is this a a felony or Freedom of Speech?
On November 5th, while most Americans were voting in local elections, thousands of people worldwide joined the Million Mask March protest organized by the Anonymous movement

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shocked the American public with its hasty approval of three highly controversial GE crops in a row (alfalfa, sugar beets and ethanol corn). In doing so, the agency effectively thumbed its nose at U.S. federal courts and spit in the face of consumers and farmers alike. Now, USDA has apparently decided that getting sued for ignoring U.S. environmental laws is getting to be too much of a hassle. So they've come up with a new plan: why not let Monsanto evaluate the potential harms of its new transgenic products? It'll be so much quicker this way. And save USDA a lot of money.
The two-year pilot program allowing GE developers to conduct their own environmental assessments for USDA is an "experiment" to improve its systems, says USDA. Tom Philpott calls it a craven way out.
Two weeks ago, I wrote about the American public's nearly unified demand for labeling of GMOs. Now, across the country, people are preparing to take to the streets to express their views.
The Millions Against Monsanto campaign is organizing a Rally for the Right to Know in front of the White House on Saturday, March 26. And plans for local rallies are popping up everywhere, including — last I checked — in California, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennesee and Wisconsin.
I spent much of last week in the sub-freezing cold of northern Minnesota, attending the 8th Annnual Great Lakes Indigenous Farming Conference. Every year, Winona LaDuke and the White Earth Land Recovery Project bring a couple hundred farmers, activists, and tribal leaders together on the White Earth Reservation to discuss the intersections of farming and culture from an indigenous perspective. One of the goals of this year's conference was to lay the groundwork for an Anishinaabeg/Great Lakes seed library.
Do you want to know if the food you eat and feed your family has been genetically engineered? If you do, you're not alone. Over 95% of people responding to an MSNBC poll this week on labeling of GE foods have said loudly and clearly, "OF COURSE we want to know!" Over 40,000 people have voted (you can too, here). This follows on an earlier CBS poll finding that 87% people want to know if genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are in their food. Evidently, this is something that people feel strongly about.
Britain's Chief Scientist has come out trumpeting the need for genetically engineered (GE) crops to feed the world, and the UK media is falling all over itself with blaring headlines that echo this badly misinformed sentiment (see Guardian, Telegraph coverage).
The source of all the hullabaloo is the UK's release this week of its mammoth Foresight report, Global Food and Farming Futures. Using the occasion to espouse what seems to be his personal opinion, Sir John Beddington —the Chief Scientist in question — argues that "It is very hard to see how it would be remotely sensible to justify not using new technologies such as GM. Just look at the problems that the world faces: water shortages and salination of existing water supplies, for example. GM crops should be able to deal with that." "Should?" Is that the best you can do, Sir John?

I think it comes down to where you and I place the importance of the position. I simply don't believe that it is one of the most important positions any longer. In the 80's and early 90's (and before), yes, it was. No longer. All I need there is a decent starter. Not even a good one, just decent (please spare me the extremes of Arizona and Colombo). Get me somebody that can start consistently and do his job. If we have to overpay a little, I guarantee it's not as much as Long. If the other OT free agents are asking for more money than Long (they won't be), fine, move Martin over and draft an RT in the middle rounds. Pick up an average OT via FA for depth.
Its not necessarily the importance of the positions, its how hard it is to replace a decent starter at that position. Look at how many free agent OT (thats LT and RT) that hit free egency last year, and tell me how many of those guys could play in a ZBS and are capable of starting on our team long term? I counted 1. That leaves us to the draft, how many OT were drafted in the middle rounds this year that are starting and playing good? I count zero.
You franchise him and then what? No one is going to trade for him. you either resign yourself to paying long or your resign yourself to 2008 was a waste of a draft.
"Now when I go to the bathroom I find out who my friends are." - Jake Scott after both broken hands were in casts following the 1972 season
And again, you can make that exact same argument (how hard it is to find one) for literally EVERY position. Hell, we listened to that same nonsense regarding the QB position every single year. It's an excuse. Nothing more.
I think it might not be a bad idea to franchise Long and to give Yeatman or a low round draft pick a chance to to develop into a starter for 2014.
I have confidence that Martin will prove to be fine at LT over the next 4 games (provided he can get past A. Smith this Sunday without too much carnage). At that point, we can have a more informed discussion about the cost/benefit of franchising Jake Long given our vacancy at RT, not LT.
And I dont think you can make the case for every position. For example, RBs are some of the least paid players because they are easier to find, yet they are some of the most important players on their teams. OTs aren't paid more than RBs because they are a more important position, they are paid more becuase they are harder to find.
Let him walk. Either he accepts a pay reduction commensurate to his performance or he goes.

Leroy Wehler. George "Pizza" Pirraglia. Most recently, Ron Guilyard. And the list of the Vietnam-era veterans who died from the effects of Agent Orange continues to get longer. It's just one of the complications our veterans are facing following their service to our country. Getting to know some of the Vietnam veterans in the area, particularly those from the Bucktail Chapter 720, has really brought home to me a frustrating and disturbing issue that has existed for a long time in this country and affects all of our veterans, from World War II to today —the burdensome patchwork of medical care that veterans have to deal with, from routine checkups to major surgery.
The actual care people get can be excellent, but it is hard when they have to travel long distances to the nearest VA hospital or treatment center for care. For the veterans in rural counties, it can be especially difficult. Getting to DuBois is one thing, but having to go to Altoona or Pittsburgh, and sometimes beyond, to see specialists or to have surgery is daunting. It's not just the logistics of how to get there, but it is often an all-day, tiring process, particularly for some of our older veterans or those who are not in good health.
Maybe when the Veterans Administration was created, it seemed like a good idea to have healthcare facilities tailored specifically to veterans' needs. That is still a good idea, but coverage should be expanded so that they can see physicians in their own towns and have it covered by VA benefits. Talking heads use the word "complicated" while also saying veterans "deserve the best." Let's help them get it – and let's be clear, I have no sound plan for how to do this, just that I, a fellow American, would like to see something done. When you sit down and try to figure out how this stuff works, the bureaucratic tangle and the vast amount of information can make you want to give up before you even start.
I'm equating this into going into town to buy bananas, and the store has them, but I'm not allowed to have those bananas – instead, I have to travel three hours away to get some bananas. It just doesn't make any sense.
Veterans are used to red tape and procedures that seem to exist for no good reason-- but don't you think they got enough of that while they were in the service? Don't think I'm knocking our Veterans Affairs offices, either, especially the Elk County VA office. These people do a great job of advocating for veterans and helping them access benefits and services to which they are entitled. And our Rides4Vets charitable organization has been wonderful in helping get veterans of all ages and situations to appointments across the state. How fortunate for us to have them; how unfortunate that they are so badly needed.
As usual, it seems the problem lies at the federal level. It's not a question of Republican or Democrat. This is a longstanding, bipartisan issue that cuts across all ethnicities, religious persuasions, and geographic regions. The members of Congress—who have very, very good healthcare, by the way-- need to step up and get it done. If we can spend billions of dollars every year on national and international defense, weaponry, and payouts to "friendly" nations to help us in whatever quest we're currently undertaking, then we can damn well find the appropriate funds and makes the legislative changes necessary to see that our veterans have access to appropriate, efficient care when– and where-- they need it.
Whether you were on a troop ship, in a foxhole, a submarine, a plane, in cold lands, in sweltering countries, served stateside during your entire enlistment, got shot at, poisoned, bombed, blown up or you cut yourself with a vegetable peeler doing K.P. on base, it shouldn't matter. The majority of veterans say they wouldn't take back their service to their country, no matter how it has affected them afterward. That kind of loyalty and willingness to sacrifice is the backbone of our nation. It's what keeps us strong and healthy as a country. Shouldn't we be doing everything in our power to ensure that our veterans can say the same?
-- Victoria Stanish, Daily Press Editor
Thank you for bringing this topic to light. I would like to add that not only Vietnam Veterans are suffering from the effects of Agent Orange, their children and grandchildren are also suffering. Agent Orange is a 'legacy illness' and has effected many of that era of Veteran's families. I would love to have a conversation with you on the subject.
Of all the citizens in the United States of America, Veterans deserve "Choice of medical care".

New Orleans Hornets owner George Shinn speaks at ETSU
Thursday, October 14, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 13, 2010) - The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics hosted New Orleans Hornets owner George Shinn for a motivational speech to kick off the weekend's NBA festivities, inside the D.P. Culp Center's Martha Culp Auditorium on Wednesday night.
A nationally recognized "rags to riches" business leader, Mr. Shinn was the youngest person ever awarded the prestigious Horatio Alger Award, he also received an American Success Award from President Bush in a White House ceremony, and he holds six honorary degrees in humanities. His speech was entitled "You gotta believe!"
"Anytime student-athletes can hear someone of Mr. Shinn's magnitude speak, it really makes it special for them," said ETSU men's basketball head coach Murry Bartow. "I thought it was an excellent message about success and it was certainly very motivational for everyone in attendance."
Mr. Shinn's books YOU GOTTA BELIEVE! and The Miracle of Motivation were available for purchase at the event, and a book signing was held in the lobby immediately following his speech.
"I enjoyed how Mr. Shinn spoke about setting high goals," said ETSU men's golfer Paul O'Kane. "The speech was excellent in terms of life, school, and sports. Anyone, not just athletes could have gotten something good out of his speech tonight."
The special event was free to ETSU students, faculty, staff and the general public. Tickets are still available for the NBA preseason game between the New Orleans Hornets and the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. For tickets please call the ETSU Athletics Ticket Office at (423) 439-3878.
Shinn's Biography
Growing up in the small North Carolina town of Kannapolis, George Shinn's dream of owning a professional sports team came true on April 1, 1987 when NBA Commissioner David Stern called Shinn to deliver the good news - he had been selected as the first to receive one of four expansion franchises and would begin play in Charlotte, N.C. in 1988.
After 14 seasons in Charlotte, the Hornets led the NBA in attendance for 8 years in a row. After the lockout and the NFL came to Charlotte, attendance slipped and Charlotte needed a new arena to succeed in which they did not get, so Shinn moved the Hornets to New Orleans in 2002.
Shinn's leadership and resolve once again came to the forefront when the Hornets were faced with perhaps the biggest challenge in franchise history. In the aftermath of the tragedy caused by Hurricane Katrina, he was able to work with the NBA to secure the team a temporary home in Oklahoma City for the 2005-06 season. Under his leadership, the Hornets turned a potentially devastating situation into one of sports' most uplifting success stories when they finished 11th in the league in attendance while playing in two cities. The 2006-07 season was again split between New Orleans and Oklahoma City, and Shinn's business and marketing acumen were key to successfully executing games, special events and charitable efforts in both markets. In the summer of 2007, Shinn brought the Hornets back to Louisiana full-time, focused on two goals; relocate his business successfully and help rebuild New Orleans.
As a champion of the causes of (charity) helping those in need and responsible corporate citizenship, Shinn takes great pride in supporting a variety of initiatives that leave a positive and lasting impact on the community.
In New Orleans he sits on the boards of the Boy Scouts of America and Loyola University and has made significant financial contributions to organizations such as the United Way, Children's Hospital, the Housing Authority of New Orleans, Bridge House and Grace House. And every year on his birthday, Shinn spends time at hospital maternity wards donating gifts to every mother who gives birth on May 11th. For these efforts, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin asked Shinn to serve as Grand Marshall of the city's Martin Luther King Jr. parade and then presented him with the Quiet Hero Award at a prayer breakfast that launched the city's MLK weekend activities.
His commitment to community service stems from very humble beginnings. As a young man Shinn worked in a textile mill, at a car wash, and even as a janitor in a school that he would eventually own. Lessons learned in those capacities would soon pay off when, at the age of 34, Shinn was the youngest person ever awarded the prestigious Horatio Alger Award, which recognizes "rags-to-riches" business leaders who achieve success while maintaining values in patriotism, faith and civic involvement. Inspired to share his success secrets with others, Shinn authored five books and is a highly sought-after public speaker, especially on topics related to sales and motivation.
For a lifetime of achievement in business and higher education, Shinn was one of twelve to receive an American Success Award from President Bush in a White House ceremony. He also holds six honorary degrees in humanities.
Shinn and his wife, Denise, were married in New Orleans on March 8, 2003. He has three children; Chris, Susan, and Chad, from a previous marriage.

Softball Sweeps Elon in Doubleheader, 4-3 and 7-5
Thursday, March 14, 2002Elon College, N.C. (Mar. 14, 2002) -- Danielle Spetar (Konxville, Tenn.) rapped four hits and Courtney Jenkins (Knoxville, Tenn.) pitched her way to a victory and a save as East Tennessee State slipped past Elon for a doubleheader sweep, 4-3 in eight innings and 7-5, Thursday afternoon at East Field in Elon College, N.C. In the first game, Danielle Concepcion singled home Suzanne Speed with a one-out shot to left field in the bottom of the seventh inning, knotting the game for the Phoenix at 3-3 and forcing the extra inning. ETSU sophomore outfielder Rhea Holler's (Peoria, Ariz.) single to right plated sophomore catcher Sheryl Clark (Bradenton, Fla.) in the fatal frame to give the Bucs the victory. Jenkins (4-3) pitched all eight innings, scattering three earned runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out four. Elon starter Amanda Zentner (2-7) suffered the loss, surrendering two earned runs on six hits while logging four walks and four strikeouts. In the nightcap, East Tennessee State exploded for five runs in the sixth inning to turn a 3-1 deficit into a 6-3 advantage. Another Buc score in the top of the seventh pushed the margin to 7-3 and Elon's two runs in the bottom of the frame were just not enough. Senior pitcher Marsha Giles (Jonesborough, Tenn.)(4-4) worked five innings in the circle for ETSU (10-10). She allowed three earned runs on six hits while fanning six and walking none. Jenkins two innings of relief (5 hits, 2 earned runs, BB, 3 Ks) were good enough for her third save of the season. For the two contests, Spetar (4-for-6, run, 2 RBI, 2 doubles, SB, SH), Tiffany Vandergriff (Sale Creek, Tenn.) (3-for-8, 2 runs, RBI) and Holler (3-for-7, 2 runs, RBI, BB) paced the Bucs. Jenny Gustin (4-for-8, run, RBI, double), Concepcion (3-for-8, run, 2 RBI, triple) and Pam Brock (2-for-7, 2 runs, 3 RBI, HR) led the Phoenix (5-15). The Bucs return to action in their first Southern Conference action of the season, taking on UNC Greensboro in a Friday doubleheader at 1 p.m. and a single game on Sunday at 1 p.m.

I'm having the problem of synced iMessages appearing out of order in Messages on my Macbook. I've even had messages sent to wrong people. I can't find any alternatives through Google. Is there a replacement that will still sync with iMessages from my phone?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Different is a question and answer site for power users of Apple hardware and software. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The whole iMessage system is entirely proprietary, and there are no 3rd party clients available to use instead of the official ones, on either iOS or OSX. That's not to say it won't be reverse engineered in time, but I suspect that Apple will fix any issues way before anything like that happens.
I too get messages that appear out of order and occasionally ones that simply never show on one device or another, but anecdotally I only ever see this when devices are playing "catch up" with messages that I have already read elsewhere.

The great chocolate houses make some of their best bars from single plantation beans. Today's premier cru chocolate bars are much like fine wines: experts can tell in blind tastings what kind of cacao beans the bars are made from, and where the beans were grown. these from the Maralumi plantation of Papua, New Guinea, made by Michel Cluizel.

House Tour: The World's Great Gourmet Chocolate Producers
And How Each "House" Differs In Style
On our first tour, in 2005, we visited these great chocolate producers (in alphabetical order): Amedei (Italy), Chocovic (Spain), Domori (Italy), El Rey (Venezuela), Michel Cluizel (France), Pierre Marcolini (Belgium), Pralus (France), Scharffen Berger* (U.S.),
In 2006, our tour took us to Bonnat* (France) Dagoba*† (U.S.), Guittard* (U.S.),
Chocolate is manufactured in the majority of countries on earth. Good chocolate is produced in many places. But we have chosen just six countries on our first tour of the greatest chocolate in the world—nine producers in all.
To be selected for our worldwide tour, a company must be a "chocolate house"—a producer that purchases raw cacao beans to roast and process into chocolate, from which it creates:
Most houses in turn sell their couverture to other companies who create their own chocolate products from it—large concerns as well as neighborhood chocolatiers, bakeries, and restaurants. Some great producers only make couverture for the commercial market. It is great chocolate, but it is not on our tour because you can't purchase a bar of it. And there are other wonderful producers, not on this maiden voyage, who make excellent consumer chocolate and couverture. We hope to visit more of them on our next trip.
When buying their couverture, chocolatiers and patissiers generally choose one house over another because of how the house style of the chocolate matches the palate of the chocolatier/patissier and what he or she is trying to achieve with a particular recipe. Each chocolate house has its own "recipe" for making couverture and bar chocolate—how long they roast the beans for light and fruity versus dark tones; how long they conch the chocolate for texture; whether they emulsify for smoothness; whether they add extra cocoa butter for creaminess; et al. How they treat the beans at each step in the process results in an identifiable "house style," whether the cacao beans come from Venezuela or from Madagascar.
Otherwise stated, bars made by three different houses from the same harvest of Porcelana beans will be noticeably different in style. even though the bread, butter and jam qualities of the Porcelana bean will shine through. By the end of this article, you will understand why Bar 1 may be smoother, Bar 2 pastier, Bar 3 darker in tones, and so forth. All Porcelana, all excellent, all uniquely delicious in the style of their houses.
About Our Trip
THE NIBBLE's maiden voyage takes us to Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, the United States and Venezuela. The great houses in these countries create chocolate bars the quality and complexity of which are pursued and discussed with the same kind of reverence that oenophiles accord the Premier Crus of Bordeaux. That's because over the past 20 years, a quiet revolution has occurred in the world of prestige chocolate.
Fine chocolate today is a world of single origin bars, where the beans from one plantation in Venezuela are as unique and revered as the grapes of Chateau d'Yquem. It is a world where chocolate houses, like Burgundian vintners, make their house blends, their premier crus, and their single origin products. And as with great wines, the experts can sniff and taste and deduce with studied accuracy not only the kind of bean the bar is made from, but the part of the world, country, and even the plantation the beans call home.
So, join chocolate expert Peter Rot as he tours the greatest chocolate houses in the world—those that produce the finest chocolate bars¹ money can buy and palates can savor. This "tour" is a substantial education on chocolate, and the only publicly-available article we know of that has undertaken such an in-depth articulation of the differences among the great chocolate producers.
Bon voyage!
¹ A house is judged by connoisseurs on the quality of its plain bar chocolate, the purest expression of their product. While most of the houses in this article produce bars with nuts, fruit, and infused flavors, plus bonbons and other chocolate products, our focus in this article is on plain bar.

Michel Cluizel
Assertive • Flavorful • Pure
Cluizel is a family business that started in 1947 in Normandy, when pastry chefs Marc and Marcelle Cluizel decided to venture into the world of fine chocolate. Fascinated by his parents' chocolate business, Michel became an apprentice and in 1987 opened what has come to be a renowned boutique, La Fontaine du Chocolat, on the Rue Saint Honoré in Paris. Cluizel takes immense pride in quality ingredients, using strictly cane sugar and Bourbon vanilla pods. To enable the purest chocolate flavors he avoids lecithin—an emulsifier commonly used for added smoothness and mouthfeel—so that every nuance of the cacao shines through. (To accommodate for lack of an emulsifier the conching process is longer; but no matter how long the conching, the chocolate will be thicker/pastier in the mouth than an emulsified chocolate.)
Without lecithin Cluizel's texture is a tad pastier than other houses, but it has a uniquely rich smoothness. The 1er Cru de Plantation line offers an amazing array of flavor complexities, each bar having the perfect cocoa content to bring out the slightest nuance of flavor potential in the beans.
Opting for strength in his house blends, Cluizel chooses more assertive beans. The overall flavor profile is fairly noncomplex in order to deliver a solid and bolder cacao flavor. The 1er Cru de Plantation line, however, is fruitier, lighter, and more complex on the palate.

Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes
Sooner or later people will get that, right? Jonah Goldberg on why the Donald can't be taken seriously.
At this point, there's at least one thing you can't blame Donald Trump for: being Donald Trump.
Like the scorpion in Aesop's fables that must sting the frog because that's simply what scorpions do, the world-renowned, self-promoting billionaire clown must tout himself with passion and narcissistic self-regard.
It was only a matter of time, for instance, before he came out with his own fragrance: Donald Trump Cologne by Donald Trump Eau De Toilettes (You can find it on Amazon.com. The first of the two customer reviews is from a woman who discovered the scent as it wafted up from the stock boy at "Toys R Us").
But that's not the smell that bothers me. It's the stench of desperation coming up from those fickle souls taking a Trump presidential bid seriously....
And then, of course, there's this story about The Donald: The Perfume... and body powder.
Gawker reported Monday that on April 7, the mogul filed a trademark application for the phrase "Success by Trump." According to the paperwork, the trademark would be used for the following goods and services: "Cologne; perfume; fragrances; after-shave lotions; skin moisturizer; shampoo; conditioner; deodorant; soaps for hand, face and body; body powder; bath oil; bath gel; bath salts; bubble bath."

By ASPCA President and CEO Matt Bershadker
Some good news on a topic laden with horror: Last Friday, the ASPCA helped end the torture of hundreds of abused dogs in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Texas and brought to justice those who—for profit and perverse pleasure—betrayed and defiled the trust that connects humans and animals.
In an operation that involved 16 animal welfare organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, as well as at least 10 federal and state law enforcement agencies, 367 dogs across multiple locations in the Southeast were seized in the second-largest dog fighting raid in U.S. history.
I spent several years overseeing the ASPCA's anti-cruelty group, where I witnessed or heard first-hand accounts of unspeakable acts of cruelty, but rarely have I encountered suffering of this size and scope. Dogs ranging in age from several days to 12 years were found emaciated and bearing typical scars of dog fighting, and left to suffer in extreme heat with no visible fresh water or food. Some were tethered by chains and cables to cinder blocks and car tires. Remains of dead animals were also discovered where the dogs were housed and allegedly fought.
These are the tell-tale signs of the horrors of dog fighting, the ultimate betrayal of the unique relationship that exists between humans and animals. Manipulating a dog's intense desire to please its owner, perpetuating a life of chronic and acute physical and psychological pain, is the most horrific form of animal abuse.
The only consolation to this tragedy was the fact that, for the long-suffering animals who survived, lives of brutal torture and neglect had come to an end, and days of medical care and attention were about to start. Never again would they be forced to fight, live in squalor, or be neglected and deprived of bare necessities. No animal on earth—much less those often described as "man's best friend"—should have to endure such brutality at the hand of man.
As part of our raid, which we assisted at the request of the United States Attorney's Office and the FBI, federal and local officials also seized firearms, drugs, and over $500,000 in cash from dog fighting gambling activities. All of these efforts were the result of a three-year investigation initiated by the Auburn Police.
Ten suspects were arrested and indicted on felony dog fighting charges. If convicted, they could each face up to five years in prison.
I believe these atrocities and the subsequent results will have positive and practical reverberations that will make a difference. The raid elevates the issue of dog fighting -- a reprehensible and vile activity – to people who will not only be appalled, but moved to share news and information, and fight for common-sense legislation. Dog fighting is a felony in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, but that doesn't seem to stop the atrocity. Earlier this year, the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act was reintroduced in the U.S. Congress, which would make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and impose additional penalties for bringing a minor to a fight, expanding the implications of participation in this terrible crime.
I'm very proud that we saved these animals, and the unprecedented ways we did. This is not the last dog fighting ring we'll break up, but you can be sure we'll be working hard until the day we can finally say it is.

Centreville Road crash claims one life
Fairfax County police said they were called to the scene of a crash reported at the intersection of Centreville Road and Compton Road shortly after 7 p.m. on Dec. 17.
Officers said they responded and subsequently summoned Crash Reconstruction detectives to the scene. The preliminary investigation determined that a 1999 Mercedes SL500, being driven by a 70-year-old Leesburg man, was traveling north on Centreville Road approaching Compton Road.
Police said a 1984 Oldsmobile two-door, being driven by 72-year-old Charles V. McCormick of the 5700 block of Ottawa Road in Centreville, was traveling southbound on Centreville Road approaching the intersection of Compton Road. McCormick attempted to turn left on to Compton Road and turned into the path of the oncoming Mercedes causing the Mercedes to strike the passenger side of the Oldsmobile. Police said McCormick was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Police said speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors in this crash.
Police said both drivers were wearing seatbelts.
Springfield man dies in I-395 crash
A fatal crash on Interstate-395 has caused the death of a Springfield man.
State police said that at 4:50 a.m. on Dec. 19, Virginia State Police Trooper G.J. Goldstein was called to the scene of a two-vehicle crash in Fairfax County.
The crash occurred in the northbound lanes of I-395 just south of exit 3 for Va. 236.
Police said a 2006 Subaru Legacy was northbound on I-395 when it ran off the left side of the highway and struck the guardrail. The impact caused the Subaru to cross back into the northbound lanes and strike a northbound 1999 Dodge Dakota pickup truck. The pickup truck then ran off the right side of I-395, struck the guardrail and overturned.
The driver of the Dodge Dakota, Ernest Campbell, 81, of Springfield was transported to Alexandria Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Neither the driver of the Subaru, Edward Flores-Curiel, 22, of Nevada, nor his adult female passenger was injured in the crash. Flores-Curiel has been charged with reckless driving.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation at this time. Police said alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
Catholic priest charged with sexual battery of male parishioner
County police say Catholic priest Father Luis Fernando Franco Henao, 40, has been charged with the sexual battery of an adult male on Feb. 2, 2012.
Police say the male victim reported Nov. 30 that he was sexually assaulted at Saint Bernadette Parish, 7600 Old Keene Mill Road, Springfield, while seeking support and guidance from Henao.
The victim, who has not been identified, alleges that he was inappropriately touched by Henao while seeking his spiritual support.
Henao turned himself over to police detectives Dec. 19. Police said he was processed and released.
Dulles CBP finds cocaine in stew jars
While inspecting a Guatemalan man�s luggage Dec. 15, Customs and Border Protection officers discovered cocaine concealed inside the double walls of two jars filled with stew.
The man, who requested entry as a courier on business, arrived on a flight from El Salvador and was referred for a secondary examination to have his packages inspected. These inspections ensure that the contents comply with all customs, agriculture and other laws.
Among other things in the courier�s packages, CBP officers discovered two jars filled with stew that felt too heavy relative to their size and contents. The jars were emptied and inspected revealing a plastic bag filled with a white, powdery substance that field-tested positive for cocaine secreted between the inner shell of each jar and its stainless steel lining. The combined weight of two plastic bags of cocaine was a little more than 1 kilogram, or 2 pounds, 4 ounces.
After extensive interviews the man was not criminally charged and CBP officers processed him for removal. However, during the processing, he expressed fear of returning to Guatemala. The man was detained and scheduled for an interview with an asylum officer. If his claim is not found credible he will be removed from the U.S. and barred from returning for a minimum of five years.
Woodbridge man sets Alexandria tow-truck on fire
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department fire investigators charged Reu Cruz Ortiz, 32, of Woodbridge with intentionally setting a vehicle on fire Dec. 12, in the Alexandria area of Fairfax County. Investigators charged Ortiz with two counts of destruction of personal property greater than $200, a class four felony.
A tow truck in the parking lot of Action Auto, 8100 block of Richmond Highway, was set on fire. There were no injuries. Ortiz is being held in the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.
Tysons Corner restaurant fire
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department units responded to a commercial structure fire at about 12:40 a.m. Dec. 15 in the Tysons area of Fairfax County. The commercial building, the Konami Japanese Restaurant, is located at 8221 Leesburg Pike.
Firefighters encountered heavy smoke coming from the rear of the one-story structure upon arrival. Firefighters forced entry into the restaurant and conducted an aggressive fire attack and quickly extinguished the fire. Firefighters contained the fire to the kitchen area. However, there was extensive damage to the roof. The restaurant was closed when the fire broke out. There were no injuries.

Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department units responded to a house fire at about 6:50 a.m. Dec. 12 in the West Springfield area. The single-family home is located at 8733 Sheridan Farms Court.
Firefighters encountered heavy smoke and fire coming from the rear and roof of the three-story townhouse upon arrival. Firefighters conducted an aggressive interior and exterior fire attack and brought the fire under control in about 15 minutes. The unfurnished home recently had been vacated. There were no injuries.
Damage is estimated at $100,000.

Leicestershire Pc Sandie to give US cops policing lesson
from the article in This Is Leicestershire:
New York State's police are to get a lesson in policing from a county copper.
Pc Sandie Hastings will be heading across the Atlantic for a two-week stint with a US police department to teach its officers about restorative justice.
The 58-year-old has been responsible for training her Leicestershire colleagues – and thousands from other British forces – in the concept, in which offenders are made to put right the consequences of their crimes rather than face court action.
She will explain the idea to the officers of Rochester Police Department, who patrol the city with the highest per capita homicide rate in New York State.

A fight between two servers Tuesday night outside a California restaurant left one in jail on assault charges, court papers state, and the other in a hospital recovering from emergency surgery on his broken bones.
A judge ordered Thursday morning that Jorge H. Menchaca, 38, of Lexington Park remain in St. Mary's jail in lieu of $10,000 bond on the charges from the incident at the Monterey restaurant in the San Souci shopping center.
St. Mary's sheriff's deputies went on Wednesday to MedStar St. Mary's Hospital in Leonardtown, court papers state, where Estuardo Villatoro told them that he and Menchaca got into an argument the night before at the restaurant because Villatoro brought water to a customers' table instead of the drinks they had ordered.
"Menchaca stated he was going to finish this argument after work," court papers state, and it did resume when Villatoro finished his shift at about 10 p.m. and the suspect confronted him outside.
"The argument escalated when Menchaca kicked the victim in the lower leg, causing him to hit the ground," sheriff's deputy Trevor Teague wrote in a statement of probable cause. "Menchaca then punched the victim in the head numerous times."
Menchaca was arrested later Wednesday at the restaurant, and his hands were still swollen "from striking the victim in the face," charging papers state. Menchaca, born in Mexico, told a court commissioner that he has worked at the restaurant for five years.
"He has made a life for himself here," public defender Sarah Elkins said Thursday at the suspect's bond hearing, "and he has a home in Lexington Park. He has no plans to leave the county, and no criminal history."
District Judge E. Gregory Wells ordered that if Menchaca gains pretrial release, he must have no contact with Villatoro.
