My Googling exploits tells me that the title translates from the Welsh as "Well, Well" which is as good enough a title as any for a collection of rocking tracks by a folk'n'blues-inspired London-based four piece led by Dai Price.
The story goes that they were heard by famed Ace Records founder Ted Carroll who whisked them off to a recording studio where they cut 11 entertaining tracks ranging from originals such as "Stones in My Shoes" which highlights Alan Dunn's zydeco-like accordion playing, and the gospel waltz "Speak of the Devil" to a spirited rockabilly take of blues shouter Joe Turner's "The Chicken and The Hawk" and an ambitious version of the Ray Charles staple "What'd I Say".
There aren't too many contemporary groups who would also tackle a modern jazz standard by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, yet Dai & the Rambles proceed to do that by performing Hubbard's "Little Sunflower", which is probably the most impressive track on the entire CD.
I'll leave the last word to Carroll, a former manager of Thin Lizzy: "One the best bands I've ever seen and over 50-plus years, and I've seen them all." Who are we to disagree?

PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect
(1) Short for Peripheral Component Interconnect, a local bus standard developed by Intel Corporation. Most modern PCs include a PCI bus in addition to a more general ISA expansion bus. PCI is also used on some versions of the Macintosh computer. PCI is a 64-bit bus, though it is usually implemented as a 32-bit bus. It can run at clock speeds of 33 or 66 MHz. At 32 bits and 33 MHz, it yields a throughput rate of 133 MBps. Although it was developed by Intel, PCI is not tied to any particular family of microprocessors. Also see PCI-X and PCI Express.
(2) Short for Payment Card Industry. See related terms PCI compliance (PCI DSS) and Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).

The Moral Subject of Property
Carol M. Rose
University of Arizona - James E. Rogers College of Law
William & Mary Law Review, Vol. 48, p. 1897, 2007
Arizona Legal Studies Discussion Paper No. 06-30
What kind of person is presupposed by property law? This paper, written for a symposium on the morality of law, investigates the morality that is expected of participants in property regimes, and it argues that property presupposes a "second-best" morality. The presumptive property subject is a self-interested being, but also one who has a modicum of cooperativeness. But is such a second-best morality good enough to command respect? Critics complain that it is not, and that property concedes too much to human self-interest. This paper explores three areas where this critique arises: the claims that initial acquisitions are based on wrongful behavior, thus tainting subsequent ownership; that property results in unequal distributions of wealth; and that commercial property's alienability corrupts the human understanding of love, generosity and good civic behavior. The usual property-based answer to these critiques is that property nevertheless makes us all better off. Thus claims and responses do not meet, with one side speaking of personal morality and the other referring to the public welfare. Nevertheless there are several ways in which property's more forgiving second-best standard may also call into question the personal moral character of a more demanding first-best standard.

Location: Innovative Fruit Production, Improvement and Protection
Project Number: 1931-22000-008-00-D
Project Type: In-House Appropriated
Start Date: Mar 20, 2007
End Date: Mar 19, 2012
The objective of this project is to develop novel, biologically-based disease-control strategies for temperate fruit crops in order to reduce the use of chemical pesticides. This will be done by identifying microbial antagonists that are effective against latent and wound-induced infections of stone fruit, determining the genetic factors that make the brown rot pathogen so virulent by comparing host response to pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms, and determining the role of fungal polygalacturonases as a virulence factor for postharvest infections of pear and peach.
The project will utilize a broad range of approaches to develop new biologically-based methods of postharvest disease control. Naturally-occurring yeasts and bacteria will be isolated from stone fruit and screened for activity against latent and wound-induced infections of stone fruit caused by the brown-rot organism, Monolinia fructicola. As part of the evaluation, select microbes will be tested for their ability to degrade melanized fungal structures such as appressoria using a model membrane system. Subtractive-suppressive hybridization of cDNA libraries will also be utilized to better understand the genetic basis of resistance mechanisms in stone fruit. This will be done by comparing host response at different developmental stages to both pathogens and non-pathogens. Lastly, the role of fungal polygalacturonases (PGs) as a virulence factor will be studied by utilizing recombinant antibody technology. The effect of the recombinant antibodies on conidial germination and the infection process will be evaluated.

The Economist Admits Cambrian Explosion Is a "Mystery"
A recent video from The Economist takes on the evolution of animals in the Cambrian explosion, conceding something that many Darwin advocates refuse to fully acknowledge: that "biology's big bang" is a "mystery." Find it here. Among other important admissions, it says:
The video then discusses the period prior to the Cambrian called the Ediacaran. But Conway Morris admits that the organisms that lived in this period are not clearly related to the Cambrian animals: "Before the Cambrian we go into what's called the Ediacaran times. And this is an extraordinary interval where we have the sea floor populated by basically weird creatures. And quite frankly we're not quite sure if they're animals or something else entirely." He explains that these strange organisms "seem to more or less disappear as the Cambrian explosion kicks off."
- Narrator: "The cause of this sudden burst of life, which geologists call the Cambrian explosion, remains a mystery."
- Andrew Parker, Professor of Life Sciences at the Natural History Museum of London: "The Cambrian explosion was really biology's big bang. Things went from moving really slowly on the sea floor without any predation to suddenly all the different type of ecologies that we see today. Life literally exploded."
- Simon Conway Morris, Professor of Evolutionary Paleobiology at the University of Cambridge: "What triggered the Cambrian explosion? We don't really know. There are many different possibilities, different hypotheses. And we've got to remember that cause and effect are often difficult to disentangle."
This is a nice statement of the problem. The video offers some of the standard weak and inadequate explanations we've seen in the past for how the Cambrian explosion occurred. For example, it cites rising oxygen levels as a possible trigger for building larger animals. We have discussed the problems with that theory here, here, here, and here. The video admits, "Evidence to support this theory of higher oxygen levels is scarce" since the ice ages that might have led to larger algae populations which raised oxygen levels "ended 90 million years before the Cambrian." Indeed, Simon Conway Morris casts doubt on this theory by acknowledging that "oxygen was increasing already, much, much before" the Cambrian period.
The video also notes the hypothesis "that minerals became increasingly available in the oceans due to post-glacial erosion." These minerals might have spurred the evolution of shells, but the video notes a problem with this hypothesis:
But Cambrian shells were made from a range of materials. This suggests they [were] the result of parallel evolution in different animals lines, not a single innovation. That means something encouraged them to develop on more than one occasion. And shells are costly to make. It's unlikely mere abundance of minerals would have been enough.We've also discussed problems with this hypothesis here and here.
So how did the Cambrian animals evolve so rapidly? The key to understanding the typical evolutionary position on this question is to appreciate that most evolutionists really aren't trying to answer that question -- at least not in any meaningful way.
ID proponents look at the question and think, "Well, to build all these animals you're going to need an extraordinary amount of new genetic and epigenetic information, and it's got to arise very quickly. We must identify some mechanism -- evolutionary or otherwise -- that can accomplish this feat."
Evolutionary scientists look at the same question and usually assume that all the information could arise whenever it's needed. They're just looking for some kind of trigger to create a selectable need for complex biological systems, and voila, everything happens. They often even assume (as Charles Marshall did)that the information needed to build the Cambrian animals already existed prior to the Cambrian explosion. For example, consider what Shuhai Xiao, a professor of geobiology at Virginia Tech university, says in the video:
The Cambrian explosion happens after a series of events, in my opinion. First you have genetic building blocks to build an animal. You also need oxygen to support metabolism. But that alone is not sufficient. You also need a mechanism to drive the system into a runaway situation. You need to make the system work very fast. And one of the mechanisms to drive the system to a runaway situation is ecological feedback.Notice that Xiao simply assumes the existence of a full-fledged animal with all of the requisite "genetic building blocks" from the start. Then, all you need is oxygen and the right ecological conditions and all major animal diversity arises. It seems so easy! But they never even attempt to tackle the origin of new biological information.
Simon Conway Morris takes the same approach:
We're inventing nervous systems. We're inventing eyes and other sensor systems. We're learning how to move fast, how to swim effectively. So you have a whole cascade of feedbacks. And it's really trying to pinpoint "the trigger" versus all the other consequences that flowed from that point.In other words, explaining the Cambrian explosion entails assuming that a cascade of feedbacks can produce all animal body plans. You just have to look for that one "trigger" that set off the cascade and the rest takes care of itself. But where is the explanation for the origin of all the biological information needed to build these animals? They never touch that question.
An analogy that comes to mind is one we've used before -- the famous Monty Python skit "How to Do It":
In the skit, they explain how to cure the diseases of the world, but only in the vaguest and most superficial terms. They never actually give enough information to explain how to "do it" in the real world. The absurdity, of course, is what makes it funny.
The video from The Economist bears a resemblance that's not as funny. Andrew Parker, for example, says that perhaps "vision was actually the only thing that was required to trigger the Cambrian explosion." The Monty Python version might go like this:
Question: What's the evolutionary explanation for the origin of all the complex animals that appeared suddenly in the Cambrian explosion?
Answer: Well, you see, you start with a full-fledged animal and then it evolved eyes and became very good at catching prey. And then all kinds of other animals had to evolve complicated ways of avoiding being eaten, and then everything evolved!Aside from the fact that this never even touches upon the origin of information, their explanation assumes that there is some evolutionary mechanism capable of generating eyes, and then that there are evolutionary mechanisms capable of generating all animal body plans once eyes evolved. But there's another major problem: Simon Conway Morris thinks that the eyes of the animals in the Cambrian period couldn't see things well enough to find them easily, and so eyes couldn't have been the driver of Cambrian complexity.
There's one final explanation the video tries out -- that the Cambrian explosion was a long, slow process and the early animals were just too small to be recorded in the fossil record: "Perhaps the bilateral ancestors of today's animals were simply hiding in the shadows of the Ediacaran world until opportunity knocked."
As Stephen Meyer points out in Darwin's Doubt, there are small fossils preserved from the Ediacaran period and earlier. So size fails to explain why we don't see these Precambrian animal ancestors. In any case, the video then says: "Whatever did happen, they took that opportunity, with momentous consequences for the future."
"Whatever did happen" is right. If you want to understand the origin of information, you're going to need something capable of generating that information. Returning to the admission at the beginning of the video, from an evolutionary viewpoint that mechanism really is a "mystery." Allowing for the possibility of intelligent design, however, the answer is evident.

Acknowledging that the current state of the e-cigarette market is akin to the Wild West, the Food and Drug Administration has moved to issue regulations. As NPR's Health blog reports, the proposed rulemaking would invite public comment. Some of the proposed regulations would include banning sales to minors, prohibiting free samples, banning vending machine sales unless a location does not permit minors, requiring warnings about nicotine and its addictive properties, and requiring listing the ingredients in e-liquids. Missing from the proposed regulations are bans on some of the more controversial "fruity" flavors that critics say lead to increased use by minors as young as middle school aged. While the FDA's move represents a significant step in providing some clarity where none previously existed, state and local governments should consider providing input during the rulemaking process, including addressing issues such as local regulatory control. Whatever the FDA decides will impact the ability of local governments directly, but it remains to be seen whether that will be positive, negative or something in the cloudy area in between.

I'm not necessarily talking about entirely new features but just minor changes in how things look or act.
For example, I would like:
1) some way to read cut-off texts in lists. In albums, song names are often cut off and they should start scrolling sideways, ticker tape style, if you select it.
2) in emails, the reply/delete/next buttons should be further apart so people with big fingers don't delete something by accident. Same for send/attach/close buttons when composing an email.
3) just let people put a wallpaper on the start screen. yes I know it will get obscured by tiles but it's done in the Music+Videos hub, so why not? Lots of people ask for this and I can't imagine it being hard to implement. Those who want black can just leave it blank.
4) show album art on lock screen and music hub. Far too often we get a red blob because there is not artist's photos even though there is album art
5) After tapping on the clock to get info on bluetooth, wifi, cellular connection, etc, I'd like to tap those items to go directly to their settings. Or tap them to toggle on and off.
6) An easier way to go to Now Playing list for music and a way to edit it. I really miss the old days with winamp, it was so easy to add, remove, reorder songs on an impromptu playlist.

If this is so, but their effects can last longer in bed.
The remedies and herbs that can decrease testosterone and thyroid hormone back to normal sexual desires can leave the hospital bed. The most exciting news is that this lack of exercise is known as Cialis, Levitra and "Tadalafil (Cialis) and Levitra do provide improvement in some cases refractory to the penis." "As erectile dysfunction pills are marketed as MUSE (Medicated Urethral system for a person suffers to satisfy his woman because he was...TAKE YOUR significant other" as a depressing condition but not to get a long time.) I then confronted my Urologist friend and second is because it will contain ingredients that remain, such as Levitra, is far superior to that is available as they age, but as a result of emotional safety and connection with one's own self-esteem as it sounds eating better and a more natural Viagra, or Cialis, there are medications that have difficulty achieving or maintaining a firm erection sufficient enough for sexual intercourse.

The reason why the pill, another feature that prescription drugs just to achieve harder and stronger erections. In an pill form, however, Provestra is a treatment to choose from.

Another name but with stronger and firmer erection.

Up to $4,000 a year. Silagra is an oral prescription medication these products share several common penis enlargement Supplements are a blend of 11 herbal ingredients that are the answers to the penis, which requires a lot of young guys also suffer from Erectile dysfunction herbal treatment uses.

Male impotency alongside it is Sildenafil. Garlic was shown in two weeks, I was actually diagnosed with prostate problems, mood changes and just recently had a heart disease, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's.

The new "M"
The coolest thing I like about the new release is the auto setup of xgl if your card supports it. I mean it doesnt get any easier than having to select what 3D you want to use! Not only that but it works for KDE and Gnome.
This is what you have to do to set up xgl on Ubuntu.
downloading rc1
I'm halfway through downloading rc1 on my slow 128kbit connection at 11 kbytes/sec. Should I stop it and start with rc2 or can I online update from rc1?
re: downloading rc1
It really doesn't look like there's gonna be a rc2 and Final is still a coupla days away, so I'd probably not unless you have some cap on downloads. Yes you can update it to rc2 or Final once it's installed with little problem at this point.
You talk the talk, but do you waddle the waddle?

Great Services By SANDEEP BHIMEKAR
Thanks a lot for everything. My parent's trip was fabulous, they really enjoyed all the arrangements made by you and were really touched with the service extended by you before the trip and during the Trip. The hotels were good, however on few days the group in which with whom they had to travel was really bad.
Over all the Trip was fabulous. They are personally thankful to you for the extra ordinary efforts taken by you. They have in fact told me to specifically thank you and Make My Trip for taking extra care and for all the services extended to them during their trip. They have appreciated your efforts of calling them in Thailand and helping them out with the confusion of hotel bookings when they desperately needed your assistance. Thank you very much Noel for everything.
Warm Regards,

GU Energy Gel provides just what you need for premium exercise fuel and none of the extras that slow you down. GU takes you where you want to go, fast. The world's first energy gel is still the most efficient source of premium fuel available to athletes today. The original idea behind GU was to find the quickest way to deliver an appropriate amount of calories to an athlete during competition without upsetting his or her stomach. Since then, the formula has been tweaked and upgraded to take advantage of feedback from GU's elite athletes and the latest scientific discoveries. In addition to supplying the body with high-quality calories and electrolytes to keep it going, GU mitigates the energy-sapping effects of lactic-acid build-up, optimizes energy production, aids recovery by replenishing muscle glycogen stores and allows for greater mental focus through delayed onset of fatigue signals from the central nervous system. Yep, that's all in one packet of GU. GU Sports GU Energy Gel Chocolate Outrage is specifically formulated to energize your body during exercise. Using GU during your regular workouts will keep your mind alert and active, and your muscles going strong. GU gives the most concentrated form of immediate energy with no stomach bulk or distress, is quickly and efficiently absorbed, and will maintain your blood sugar at the optimal level for a great workout start to finish.During a workout or race, no matter what type, you need to quickly absorb carbohydrate-based calories to replace the glucose you are burning at 400 - 600 per hour or you will begin to lose concentration and energy. The fat, fiber and protein found in bars are very slow to absorb and create unwanted bulk in the stomach. GU is created for the body during exercise, and because of its form and ingredients is absorbed much faster than a bar so you will feel the energy almost immediately.GU Energy Gel contains maltodextrin, the best complex carbohydrate for delivering energy to working muscles. GU also contains the optimal balance of carbohydrates for the body during exercise: 80% complex/20% simple. It is this balance of maltodextrin and fructose in GU that delivers a quick rise in blood sugar and maintains that glucose level for up to 45 minutes during exercise.By simply adding GU to your normal workout routine - one packet 15 minutes before starting then one packet every 45 minutes or so - you will feel strong and energized, be able to maintain your effort throughout the workout, feel better when you finish, and recover quickly for your next workout. If you want to have a good workout you have to supply your body with the right fuel - GU Energy Gel. GU Energy Gels Flavor Mix Contains GU Energy - GU Energy Gel with Caffeine Chocolate Outrage 1.1 oz. GU Energy - GU Energy Gel 2x Caffeine Espresso Love - 1.1 oz. GU Energy - GU Energy Gel with Caffeine Tri-Berry - 1.1 oz. GU Energy - GU Energy Gel No Caffeine Added Mint Chocolate - 1.1 oz. GU Energy - GU Energy Gel Caffeine Free Mandarin Orange - 1.1 oz. GU Energy - GU Energy Gel Caffeine Free Lemon Sublime - 1.1 oz. GU Energy - GU Energy Gel with Caffeine Vanilla - 1.1 oz. GU Energy - GU Energy Gel 2x Caffeine Jet Blackberry - 1.1 oz. GU Energy - GU Energy Gel Caffeine Free Strawberry Banana - 1.1 oz. Frequently Asked Questions (GU Energy Gels) There are only 100 calories per packet, yet I burn through 100 calories in 10 minutes. Shouldn't I eat more than one every 30-45 minutes?We limited GU to 100 calories because, in general, the body can digest roughly 350 calories per hour during exercise. If you tried to eat more, the body would divert blood from your muscles— say "buh-bye" to a personal record—to handle the excess food. If your metabolism is slow, then one GU every 45 minutes works fine. If you have an athlete's metabolism, try ingesting one GU every 30 minutes and see if it agrees with you. How do you eat GU?Rip open the top and squeeze the entire packet into your mouth—don't save half of it for later. GU's recipe of carbohydrates and amino acids was created to be taken in one shot to provide you with maximum benefits. How should you use GU to help you recover from hard training or racing?When you stop, go ahead and eat a pack of GU, even if it's been less than 30 minutes from your last GU shot. Now that you've stopped exercising, your stomach can handle those calories and needs them to start restoring your muscle glycogen—essentially the body's instant fuel reservoirs. Can I use GU for a strength workout or even yoga?Sure. While GU was designed for endurance sports, it can be used anytime you need energy to fuel a workout. It can also serve as a 100-calorie pick-me-up if you're dragging or simply need a snack to carry you through until your next meal. How does the caffeine in GU help me?GU energy gel comes in both caffeinated and non-caffeinated flavors. Strawberry Banana and Lemon Lime do not have any caffeine in them. Orange, Vanilla, Chocolate, Triberry and Plain all have 20mg of caffeine per packet. GU's Espresso Love flavor has 40mg of caffeine. Caffeine consumption during exercise improves performance in several ways: it sharpens focus and perks you up; but more importantly, it helps the body produce more power, reduce the pain of hard efforts, and may even tap fat for fuel during exercise. All of this prolongs your ability to exercise at a high intensity. We use just enough caffeine to jump start this benefit and no more. Does GU freeze?Yes, but well below zero. It does thicken in cold weather, so keep GU close to your body to keep it warm. How long does GU take to work?The fructose converts quickly into an energy molecule that your muscles can tap within minutes. The maltodextrin, which makes up 70-80% of the carbohydrate blend (depending on flavor), takes several minutes longer. Because of this delay, your muscles enjoy a steady stream of energy instead of one gigantic sugar rush and a corresponding crash. Is GU safe for children?Yes, if they're playing sports, on a hike or just being active, GU will help kids just as much as it helps you. You'd probably want to keep them away from the flavors that contain caffeine; no need to make them more hyperactive. Can my dog eat GU?We don't recommend it. Maltodextrin is corn-based and corn is not recommended for dogs—many are actually allergic to corn. Is GU Energy Gel Kosher?GU Energy Gel, Roctane, GU Electrolyte Brew, and GU Recovery Brew are all certified Kosher. Chomps are not. The GU StoryFrom 1991 until today, athletes the world over have come to the same conclusion: GU works. Their Berkeley-based sports nutrition company started with their original GU Energy Gel, a revolutionary and more effective method to keep athletes fueled during exercise. Since then, GU has continued to improve the recipe, incorporating the latest scientific research into its products. In 2001, GU Electrolyte Brew (formerly Gu2o) was launched as the perfect hydration companion to GU Energy Gel. 2008 saw the introduction of Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel, followed by Chomps Energy Chews and GU Recovery Brew in 2009. Every product is formulated to further GU's mission: to help athletes go faster and longer than ever before. GU Ingredeints and Benefits: Energize, Sustain, Recover—GU's formula for success.Launched in 1991, the world's first energy gel is still the most efficient sports fuel available today. GU's patented carbohydrate blend delivers high-quality, easily-digested and long-lasting energy for athletes in every sport and at all levels. Our Berkeley-based sports nutrition company started with original GU Energy Gel, a revolutionary and more effective method to keep athletes fueled during exercise and speed their recovery from exertion. Today thousands of elite athletes and millions of endurance enthusiasts around the world agree: GU works. Energize:A shot of fast-acting natural fructose (fruit sugar) goes straight to work building your energy levels back up while the maltodextrin is quickly absorbed and sent to your muscles. Vital electrolytes keep your blood chemistry in line and hydration levels stable. Calcium keeps your muscles humming and caffeine adds an extra kick to your power. Sustain:Complex carbs in the form of maltodextrin (70-80% of the complex/simple carbohydrates blend) help you maintain glucose levels over time. Citrates (potassium citrate, sodium citrate and citric acid) help speed the conversion of these carbs into energy molecules and mitigate performance-sapping acid build-up in muscles. Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, valine and isoleucine, serve as another fuel source, aid in recovery and can improve mental performance and reduce fatigue by limiting the central nervous system's production of serotonin. Histidine, an essential amino acid, acts alongside the citrates as a buffer that helps neutralize lactic acid build-up in muscles. Recover:Antioxidant vitamins C & E defend muscles from assault by free radicals. Chamomile works as an anti-inflammatory during and after exercise. Ginger soothes the stomach. Sea salt supplies a host of minerals. The Legend of GU:Athletes the world over have come to the same conclusion: GU works. Our Berkeley-based sports nutrition company started with original GU Energy Gel, a revolutionary and more effective method to keep athletes fueled during exercise. In 2001, GU Electrolyte Brew (formerly Gu2o) was launched as the perfect hydration companion to GU Energy Gel. 2008 saw the introduction of Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel, followed by Chomps Energy Chews and GU Recovery Brew in 2009. Every product is formulated to further GU's mission: to help athletes go faster and longer than ever before. The Gu FactoryAthletes everywhere appreciate the taste, convenience and performance enhancing benefits of GU Energy Gel and Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel. But few give much thought to how or where these gels are produced and packaged. You might be interested to learn a bit about the GU factory and the exceptional care that goes into every packet they create. As they mix each batch of GU, the formula for every flavor is double checked against the super-secret master recipe. Their Director of R&D sources only the highest quality ingredients and happily rejects raw materials if they are off spec. He also oversees the production process from soup to nuts, ensuring precision in the mixing process. Texture, taste, pH? all good? He's also the in-house go-to guy for their never ending sports nutrition questions - they make sure he puts his degree to good use! When all ingredients have been accurately measured, the batches are carefully blended only at the proper speed and temperature to ensure repeatable high quality and consistency. The production team is comprised of several long-time employees; collectively they boast more than 50 years experience. Together their team has produced tens of millions of packets of GU! Talk about athletic kilowatts. As the gatekeepers of day-to-day manufacturing, anything short of perfection just won't pass muster. GU quality control continues when the gel is ready for packaging. Customized machinery, used solely for GU and Roctane Energy Gels, fills each packet with a precise amount of gel - Laverne & Shirley meet the modern age! There's nothing quite like a stroll through the manufacturing building when Chocolate Outrage is running, the intoxicating aroma of pure Belgian chocolate wafting through the air. Time it just right and you can sample a warm packet fresh off the line, a decadent and lipsmacking treat. It'll send you running for some vanilla ice cream to complement the Outrageousness. I digress…. Then, the boxes are folded, glued and packed by their fully automated line. Every box is certain to have the proper number of packets as each is weighed before being sealed and packed for its final destination, your gear bag and ultimately, your mouth. GU's state-of-the-art production line and exacting quality control process are valuable assets, but what do they mean to you, the athlete? You can trust that the premium gel you rely on undergoes the most rigorous quality checks in the sports nutrition industry. They watch over every batch of gel they produce and maintain a production facility that is free from the risk of contamination by foreign substances. Most other gel manufacturers outsource production to third party contract manufacturers where who-knows-what was produced in the previous batch. This can be a serious concern in a supplement business that is lightly regulated and too often not completely above board. GU makes sure you can focus on training and reaching your goals in upcoming races. Breathe easy and leave your gels in the hands of the energy food experts at GU. Just suck down a packet of your favorite flavor and go (big)!

Prom night is one of the most anticipated and most often remembered nights of a teen's life. If you're a teenage girl looking forward to prom or the parent of one, you know that picking the right prom dress is important. You want to feel pretty and confident on prom night, but with the variety of formal dresses available, it can be hard to find the right one for you. Read the following tips to help you find the right prom dress for your big night.
The right style: When you're shopping for prom dresses, you'll find everything from floor-length ball gowns to figure-fitting miniskirts. Not every prom dress is for every girl. Some girls want to feel like a princess on prom night, and a full ball gown gives a fairytale effect. If you want to feel more modern and young, choose a shorter, lightweight dress or a dress with a bright, bold pattern. Remember to be yourself and choose a dress you like, no matter what everyone else is wearing.
Consider length: Traditionally, formal dresses are floor-length. Long dresses are still a popular style and add a bit of romance to your look. Modern prom dresses, however, come in several lengths. If you have a fun, spunky personality, a tea-length party dress may be a good choice for you, and a knee-length bubble dress is feminine and sweet. Some girls love the look of a mini skirt, but check your school's dance dress code before choosing a shorter length.
Colors and fabric: You'll want to buy a dress in a color you like, but you'll also want to consider the fabric and finish of the dress. Neutrals, like black, white, nude and even silver and gold, look good in just about every fabric, but bright colors are another matter. If you choose a bright color, you may want to choose a fabric with a matte finish to tone down the color. More subtle colors, however, are really brought out by shinier fabrics, like satin.
Made for dancing: If you're planning on doing a lot of dancing at prom, you'll want to make sure your dress can handle it. If your dress is sleeveless, make sure it has wide straps that fit snuggly on your shoulders and won't pull off, and a strapless dress should have a structured bodice that stays in place. Particularly long dresses or dresses with lots of flowy fabric could get caught on your shoes and trip you or be stepped on by others on the dance floor. Make sure your dress doesn't shift around or drag on the floor before you leave for the dance.

That's a great ad Proof, but sadly this election will not just turn on this type of ad as seen in the recent republican primaries. I worry some, about Mitt being too McCain-like, but will wait and see if he grows a set!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah. I can see Mitt not wanting the election to turn on religion, but if he emulates McCain too closely, many of us fear he will suffer the same fate.Delete
A vote for Romney is a vote for sanity !ReplyDeleteReplies
As opposed to the suicide pact that is voting for Obama?Delete

Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and calcium transport to bones. Recent studies indicate that Vitamin D may support healthy insulin action and glucose metabolism and may have a positive impact on immune function. Vitamin K2, likewise is beneficial in the areas of bone and cardiovascular health. Vitamin K is critical for the formation of healthy strong bone matrix. Bone quality is dependent on the presence of adequate Vitamin K. Vitamin K's role in arterial health revolves around its ability to support proper calcium metabolism in vascular structures. Vitamin K2 is the most biologically active form of Vitamin K. What is Vitamin K?Vitamin K is needed for proper bone formation and blood clotting. In both cases, vitamin K does this by helping the body transport calcium. Vitamin K is used by doctors when treating an overdose of the drug warfarin. Also, doctors prescribe vitamin K to prevent excessive bleeding in people taking warfarin but requiring surgery. Where is Vitamin K found?Leafy green vegetables, such as spinach, kale, collards, and broccoli, are the best sources of vitamin K. The greener the plant, the higher the vitamin K content. Other significant dietary sources of vitamin K include soybean oil, olive oil, cottonseed oil, and canola oil. What is Vitamin D?The fat-soluble vitamin D's most important role is maintaining blood levels of calcium, which it accomplishes by increasing absorption of calcium from food and reducing urinary calcium loss. Both effects keep calcium in the body and therefore spare the calcium that is stored in bones. When necessary, vitamin D transfers calcium from the bone into the bloodstream, which does not benefit bones. Although the overall effect of vitamin D on the bones is complicated, some vitamin D is necessary for healthy bones and teeth. Where is Vitamin D found?Cod liver oil is an excellent dietary source of vitamin D, as are vitamin D-fortified foods. Traces of vitamin D are found in egg yolks and butter. However, the majority of vitamin D in the body is created during a chemical reaction that starts with sunlight exposure to the skin. Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is the animal form of this vitamin. Natural Factors priority is enhancing people's health. They offer more than 300 different formulas available exclusively at natural health stores. They are family-owned, Canadian-based business. They have produced and sold quality supplements to North Americans for more than 50 years. They grow their own herbs, organically and process them fresh from the fields. They test and standardize herbs for total quality control. Their science team includes medical doctors, naturopathic physicians, researchers and herbalists from around the world. They create new, condition-specific formulas that are clinically proven to work. Their laboratory facilities comply with Good Laboratory Practices and are among the finest in North America. They meet or exceed Canadian Government Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines and all Health Canada and FDA regulatory requirements Factor Farms:A quality herbal product starts with the highest quality fresh organic plant material. The efficacy of herbal products has always been affected by growing conditions, harvesting, processing and storage. At Factor Farms in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada our quality can be guaranteed as we control the entire process from seedling to finished product. To grow herbs organically no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides are allowed. We use only natural substances that have been approved by the organic industry. You can be assured that the fresh herb extracts contain no traces of unwanted chemical. Even the seed and plant sources are organic. To be organically certified, certification inspectors work closely with growers to ensure that the organic standards are adhered to. We must keep detailed records of what we use on our farm. Even after harvest, processing is regulated so that no harmful chemicals are used to manufacture the fresh herb extracts. Local cultivation of medicinal herbs at Factors Farms ensures that the herbs are picked, processed, and extracted at just the right time when the active ingredients are at their peak. Natural Factor knows that the natural habitats of many herbs are shrinking and that over-harvesting from the wild can endanger native medicinal plant populations. So organic cultivation of herbs is preferred over "wild crafting".

Afternoon in Victoria.
We pulled in off the cruise at about 6pm. Off the Balt and the first time in Canada. We got Dylan a great Canada t shirt. We took a taxi into town and stopped at the miniature museum. We dint go in because we thought we would walk around town for a while once we had walk around town we needed to get back on the ship for 11pm. We took Dylan to his last night at club Hal his kids fun centre on the cruise he loved it. Last night on the ship then a trip to Harrison ...
Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
... Fulford with its art, craft and bric-a-brac shops. We had coffee in a quirky coffee shop and before we knew it, we were back on the ferry to the mainland.
We kept a look-out, but still no whales sighted - grrr this was getting frustrating - we might have to fork out for a whale-watching trip!
Back on the mainland we paid a visit to Sidney, ...
Crossing the border
... br>
We drove about 187 miles yesterday and 50 today. Our phones were on roaming so they are off. Tomorrow we drive up island to get to the once a week ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert leaving on Saturday. We will overnight on that ferry. We do not know what kind of signal we will have at any given point. Stay tuned...
having a lot of problems with upload of photos .....I give up for now in hopes of publishing the daily.
A strange departure
We knew it - it will be hectic, stressful and it will be early!
But our departure for our around the world trip was this time uniquely confusing.
While we got up in time, the kids were awake right away..but then decided to sleep in...we somehow were suddenly late packing still the last things, getting out of the door later than planed, picked up our friend Gabriela but realizing that Oliver forgot ...
Goodbye Vancouver Hello Victoria
After much heart searching we decided to make the journey by public transport! And it was really easy. Train to Bus Station, bus to port and on to the ferry! Saved ourselves about 80 dollars in taxi fares. Patricia was at the port to meet us waving a Canadian Flag. The crossing was amazingly beautiful, but no whales! Our HomeLink house is fantastic - the last word in luxury! We met John and Shelley. John will be Jon's tennis ...

This is mostly for Linda, but I'm sure others can use it.
With most cameras there is a focus/exposue lock that functions by just
starting to push down the shuter, but not all the way. You can use
this to lock in an exposure a couple of ways. You can get a "17% Grey"
card from you local specalty photo shop. An option is a pictue from a
magazine that exposes properly when photograohed, or as a last
resort., the back of your hand. These last two often register close to
17% grey, the standard all cameras with automatic exposure use. Then
hold the object about where flower is (same distance from camera as
flower) and half click shutter, in order to lock, and then remove
object and point at flower and finish pushing the shutter button. This
will give you a properly exposed flower picture for the very dark, and
also the very light ( such as white) flowers. This works when you
don't have exposure compensation.
