You really did have a busy week. Sorry to hear you burned your arm, if you don't have an aloe plant you can spray a burn with a window cleaner( such as windex) takes the sting right out fast.ReplyDeleteReplies
tealady, I did not know that! Thank you for that tip!Delete
Patsy, I hope you didn't burn your arm too badly. Lavender essential oil is good for burns. I have used it myself. On burns from steam or a splatter type burn. I have heard it's good also on sunburn.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the link about the dishcloths I'm going to check it out. I have many dishcloths I have made in the past but can always use more. Currently I'm working on a bed size crochet afghan made from my leftover yarn.Replies
LaurieS, a bed size crochet afghan, oh my, you are industrious and obviously very talented! Thank you for the tip on lavender essential oil. The burn didn't blister, but it is about 2 inches long. I'm just glad it wasn't any worse!Delete
A contribution to the essential oils education--lavender hydrosol which is the water left after the oil distillation process is fantastic for burns or anything skin related like insect bites. I keep it in a roller bottle upstairs and down because it is so useful to grab for burns and bites. One application on a burn and that is the end of the pain and it heals very quickly. Hopewell Oils carries it and it is relatively inexpensive to keep on hand. They sell the roller bottles, too.ReplyDelete
We now have an updated will that is signed and in the safe along with all important papers and passwords for all the online accounts. This is a huge accomplishment and needed to be done.
Friday night I cut a large lemon and squeezed just a small amount on my salmon at supper. After supper I squeezed all the juice and added sugar and water to make a pint of lemonade which we enjoyed the next day. Lemons often end up shoved to the back of the refrigerator and forgotten and I plan to prevent this in the future by making lemonade.
I love to receive crocheted dishcloths so that is a wonderful addition to your gift closet! I make very ugly ones that are still useful but certainly not gift worthy!
Lana, I don't know anything about lavender hydrosol but will check it out. Thank you for the tip! Lemons have a way of ending up in the back of our fridge too so now that I have the clyinder ice cube trays I make a point to deal with them asap when we get home from grocery shopping. I love the convience of popping one into a bottle of water along with a donk of stevia and enjoying. I like to keep 2 or 3 bottles in my fridge ready to reach and grab.Delete
Dear Patsy,ReplyDelete
I am sorry about your arm. We may be living in parallel universes as I have a very bad left arm. I had a spider bite and it became infected and things went down hill real fast. A fright really. I am on the mend thanks to antibiotics.
I love your treat bags! They are so sweet and a lovely idea. And I love the dish cloths. One a week is a great way to get ahead done.
Your savings were wonderful. You got a lot done. Your year is off to a great start!
I am noticing there are quite a few following your preparedness class and also Jes' series and mine. I think this is awesome. I am so glad to be in class with a fair few ladies I know and meeting new ones. I love it!
I hope this week is going well and your arm is better, burns are so painful. With love Annabel.xxxReplies
Annabel, my arm is healing up nicely, I will be more careful in the future for sure! Spider bites can be very dangerous, I am glad that you got some antibiotics and are feeling better. I am pleased with the way the class is going and yes, we do have several new ladies in class. I am enjoying Jes's series and yours as well. No matter how prepared we think we are there is always something more to learn and then there is the task of staying prepared!Delete

Welcome to our web pages
Located near Bingley in West Yorkshire, St Ives Estate is a country park of 500 acres belonging to Bradford Metropolitan District Council with Public access to a large part of the area. The Estate is the former country home of the Ferrand family who sold the estate to Bingley Urban district Council in 1928 (see History section). Bingley UDC became part of Bradford in 1974, when the number of local authorities was reduced. The Estate has a large childrens' play area, plenty of scope for walkers and a cafe. The Friends of St Ives (also known as FOSI) is a group promoting activities on the Estate, whilst conserving the traditions. See 'Who are we section'. The Estate is used for a diverse range of activities from golf, archery, bird watching and horse riding to angling on Coppice pond, to name only five.

The visitor centre is located on the left hand side of the road between the turn off for the Golf Club and the Farm. Admission is free and it is open from 11:00 until 15:00 on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The centre is also, subject to volunteer availability, open at the same times (Christmas and New Year excepted) on Bank holidays.

The picture of the sink with a pump was taken in the York City Museum. The Picture of the other stone sink was taken by Kath Gabbitas in the coach house at St Ives. Looking at the coach house picture, there is a big hole at the side of the sink on the right hand side. Did this also have a pump at one time?
In days gone by, aromatic herbs were strewn on floors to help disguise some of the less savoury odours. These days, potpourri gets used in a similar manner and you can even place herbs under a mat, though modern usage is more to set a mood than overcome a pressing problem (unless you own an elderly dog). In the not too distant past much disease was thought to be passed by inhaling powerful smells which were called miasmas. This theory persisted from ancient times and in a lot of different cultures, until work on bacteria in the 19th century and later work, mostly in the 20th century, on viruses.
The new herb garden will have a section devoted to household herbs of the sort that were used for smell control. By placing a few of these home grown herbs in the new visitor centre, it is hoped to give an immediate impression of how rooms felt in former times.
For centuaries the Ferrand family owned St Ives and much land in the area. The way in which the the Ferrands interacted with the history of Bingley is a fascinating topic and we are pleased to refer you to a new web site by Michael Ferrand.
Has anyone any ideas as to what this might be? (The walled up hole to the right.) It is in the wall of the building adjacent to the new herb garden. Red marks imply that it has been hot. A bread oven or forge perhaps. Clearly it is old but the relieving lintel above it does not look quite so old. Or was it still in use when the upper part of the wall and lintel were added at a later date as part of new or replacement building.

Cancer: The Emperor of all Maladies
The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and now a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS. The book is a magnificent, profoundly humane "biography" of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Spurred by a personal tragedy, America's foremost documentarian is tackling cancer. According to the Associated Press, Burns collaborated with Dr. Mukherjee to bring the historical work to PBS in spring 2015.
Stand Up to Cancer co-founder and legendary film producer Laura Ziskin envision creating a documentary about cancer for years. In 2010 she came across The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee. From the first time she laid eyes on the book, Laura knew it should be the basis of the documentary she still wanted to make. She was the driving force behind the film's production and her spirit is very much part of the completed product.

text: 08 May 2012Channel 4 last night aired a documentary featuring a young British woman with size J breasts, in a bid to illustrate the medical benefits of breast reduction surgery. Serena, a 21-year-old mother-of-one, told Dr Pixie McKenna (and the nation) that her size J breasts were �embarrassing�, and that they cause lower back pain. She has struggled with the size and weight of her breasts for years and has difficulty finding tops to accommodate them. She admits that wearing low-cut tops can mean her breasts �pop out�.As a mother, Serena was desperately in need of help to do something about her breasts, which were restricting her abilities to run around and play with her son. She revealed that each of her breasts weighed the same as four bags of sugar. Dr Pixie recommended surgery on medical grounds and Serena went on to have 7lbs of breast tissue removed during the procedure. She is now able to run around in the park with her son and enjoy a life free from back pain and a restricted wardrobe.

For those that seek it, the wilderness around Aspen, Colorado has ameliorating properties, and for those that live here, these properties endow permanent, perception-altering effects. The initial dazzle that a new visitor feels matures after time and slips into quotidian reality. The steeps of the mountains mellow, the sweet river air evens out, and spooking an elk becomes routine and not the exhilarating brush it once was. In short, you get spoiled. You become accustomed to a luxury that few get to experience: wilderness.
It is only when you leave do you become acutely aware of the effect it has had on you. As a former city-dweller, I was shocked when I went home to find familiar spaces hauntingly bare in what seemed to be a disturbing obsession with manicuring. Lawns stretched for miles, under trees and along roads, as did parking lots, their blank expanses broken with oil spots and tire burn. Even building facades were embarrassingly naked, without depth or complexity. I puzzled over these observations. Only when I returned to the Roaring Fork valley did I understand the reasons.
Wilderness is a concept and wilderness is an aesthetic. It is a messy, raw world without lines, frames or explanations. Wilderness lacks human dominion. Self-determining organisms inhabit spaces blessedly free of our obsessive manicuring. It is wondrous madness. And once this idea has worked its way into you like a really good splinter, you desire strange things. Larger spaces. Softer colors. More complex textures. Silence. Cities, in their garish ways, become grating. The line between a park and a forest blur drastically towards the latter. Fences become insults. Most notably, your definition of beauty changes, an alteration I fear irreparable. Your aesthetic becomes wild. You can see this in the residences and landscapes around Aspen. I won't describe it; it is better to see for yourself.
Some may say that living here intrudes upon the wilderness. I might agree, but don't forget the natural world is not helpless. Every second it is insinuating itself into us as well.

How to Weigh an Obese Person on a Bathroom Scale
Regardless of how much weight you have to lose, weighing yourself periodically is important to keep track of your progress. For obese people, recording weight at home can help avoid embarrassment, save regular trips to the doctor's office and maintain privacy. When buying a scale, choose one that works accurately for larger people. Most bathrooms scales top at 300 to 400 lbs. of weight, but they may not be accurate at high numbers, because they're not designed for high numbers. Professional scales, such as those manufactured by Siltec, are a good option.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Set the scale on an even surface. Don't place it on top of carpets or rugs, as this can affect the readings. If you have tiles on the floor, make sure none of the scale's feet are on the grout between the tiles. Check that there is no water on the bathroom floor to avoid damaging the scale.
Step 2
Place the scale away from the wall so the person has a chance to stand up straight without touching the walls. You can place the scale next to the towel holders, so the person has something to hold on when getting on and off the scale. He should stand without support before the weight is recorded, though, for more accurate readings.
Step 3
Have the person look straight forward at eye level. If she looks down, trying to see the numbers on the scale, her weight will shift and the readout will be affected.
Step 4
Wait until the person has gained balance before recording the weight. On electronic scales, the scale will record weight as soon as you step into the scale, so readjusting once you're on it can result in an inaccurate reading. In that case, the person should practice getting on and off the scale in one single movement.

(Reuters) - A rash of incidents involving envelopes containing a suspicious white powder had police scrambling around New York City on Monday and forced the nation's fourth-biggest bank, Wells Fargo & Co, to shut down five branches.
In all six cases, the substance turned out to be "non- hazardous," and in one case, the powder was identified as corn starch, a police spokesman said.
Four of the mailed envelopes contained an identical note, which included the language "Happy May Day," the spokesman said.
The incident comes on the eve of a planned day of protests organized by the Occupy Wall Street movement and labor groups across the country. According to a website called maydaynyc.org, demonstrations are planned in New York City against "the corporations who rule our city."
Ed Needham, a member of Occupy Wall Street's New York media team, said he had found no connection between the incident and his movement. "It doesn't sound like something that we would do," he said.
A spokesman for Wells Fargo said its branches would remain closed pending further investigation by the police. The branch locations include Third Avenue and 47th Street; Madison Avenue and 34th Street; and Broadway and 85th Street.
Since it was launched eight months ago, Occupy Wall Street has targeted U.S. financial policies it blames for the yawning income gap between rich and poor - between what they called the 1 percent and the 99 percent.
More than 500 protesters demonstrated at the bank's annual shareholder meeting in San Francisco last week to express anger over foreclosures, executive compensation and corporate taxes.
Among other large banks, spokesmen for Bank of America Corp and JPMorgan Chase & Co said they had not closed any branches on Monday due to suspicious envelopes. A Citigroup spokesman had no immediate comment.
San Francisco-based Wells Fargo is the fourth-largest U.S. bank by assets.

Sarah Swinfield remained in Earl Shilton and produced two illegitimate issue in 1843 and 1845, whom she named Joseph and Sarah. The evidence leads us to believe that the father was her long-term partner, Thomas Brown. Could genetic tests be used to determine if Thomas was also the father of my William?
|My 37 marker haplotype certificate
By testing the Y-chromosome, which is passed from father to son and which makes children male, it is possible to produce a profile for any man. There are many marker sites along its length which can be "scored" for the number of meaningless repeats of very short sections of DNA known as short tandem repeats (STRs). By comparing the STR profile (called the haplotype) of two or more men, an assessment can be made of how closely they are related. Usually, this is done for men who share the same surname, adopted as a family name about 1300.
|Graham's 37 marker haplotype
Joseph Swinfield had three sons and from them there were many lines of male descent. His great-grandson, Graham Albert Swinfield, my 3rd cousin, was traced. He kindly agreed to provide a sample of his DNA and that was compared with mine using Family Tree DNA (FTDNA). The results can be viewed on the Swinfield DNA & Genealogy Group page.Amazingly, we were identical at 35 of the 37 marker sites tested. Not only that but we also had an extremely rare haplotype for English men. We certainly shared the same male ancestor. Whoever was the father of Sarah's illegitimate child in 1843 was also the genetic father of my great-grandfather. The evidence put the ball very much in Thomas Brown's court!
|Paul's 37 marker haplotype
After nearly 40 years of collecting any information, that I could lay my hands on, relating to the surname of Swinfield, I had proved conclusively that I am not one. I should have been researching Brown instead!

Dr. Mundo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Overzealous Mundo
I've looked through a lot of high rated builds for Dr. Mundo here, and in my opinion, all of them get the essence of the champion completely wrong. Mundo is not a tank, he is a fast-moving, hard-hitting, beefy carry. He is made to run in, kill, and get away.
Builds that make a tank out of him by lending him obscene health, armor, and regen are rendered worthless by the fact that he has no taunt, no group damage ability (Burning Agony doesn't count), and thus only serves to live till the end of the group fight, at which points he dies, having contributed nothing. Builds that pick up a lot of extremely expensive items, including defensive ones, miss the mark on two counts: that he's very powerful in the early game if built properly, and that you're still sacrificing damage for survivability, when his survivability lies entirely in running away.
This build focuses on killin', cleavin', and killin' some more. Played properly, you should be going 12-2-5. You are a carry, and should build as such.
Another thing should be made clear: both Mundo himself and this build are for Twisted Treeline, not Summoner's Rift. TT plays to Mundo's strengths, and SR plays to his weaknesses. Mundo moves fast, which allows him to run across the small field that is TT and gank on request. He's also extremely hard for three people to take down or catch, and there's relatively little space between the enemy turrets and yours, even late game. In SR, five people can easily focus or stunlock you into oblivion, and you have to flee a long way to the relative safety of towers. When you play Mundo, play TT. For SR, find another champion.
They're pretty simple, really, and key into the overall build. The main thing we're after is melee damage, and that is most aided in Mundo's case by a little armor penetration in the form of Marks Greater Mark of Desolation, and plenty of attack speed by way of Glyphs and Seals . We want attack speed over crit chance because of Masochism , but more on that later. We round this build out with 100 extra health from Quintessences , which might seem counter intuitive. Desolation for Quints Greater Quintessence of Desolation is also entirely acceptable, but the health plays to one of Mundo's other strongest suits: the early game. As in, the first 90 seconds of the match, and the next five minutes to a lesser extent. But more on that later, too.
We're after damage, so offense is the way to go. There's not much else you can do with the Masteries, though the points in defense are sort of floaters.
Summoner Spells
There aren't many options here, either. I'd only consider three of them viable:
Ignite is beautiful for two reasons. The first, and most obvious, is for finishing off those heroes that are two inches from dead, particularly ones out of your attack reach and running back to their turret. Perhaps the most important, though, is in order to prevent heals. If you're up against a champion that you know has selected Heal , or has one naturally (Tryndamere, Soraka, etc.), pop Ignite on them halfway through a gank that you know will end with one of you dying. It'll cut the effects of their heal in half, which can be a tide-turner. Note: Ignite castrates the regenerative powers of your ultimate , so be aware of that.
Flash is also a thing of beauty, and also for two reasons, though they're different from Ignite's. The first, and most obvious, is to get away. And speaking of, yeah, teleporting ten yards in a straight line away from the enemy might save your ***, but it's far more useful when you've been ganked alone by three of them and you Flash through a wall. Combined with your ult , Flash can make you very hard to kill. There are lots of places on TT to use Flash well. Get right up against those walls before you do it, though.
The other less appreciated but just as valuable use of Flash is as an offensive weapon. If the enemy is running away from you, almost dead, your Cleaver is up, and there are tons of minions between you and him, flash past them, throw that Cleaver, and get the kill. You can turret dive and get away with Flash, too. Use it and the Cleaver to initiate a gank on someone you're laning against. There are lots of possibilities.
Exhaust isn't bad, but I prefer Ignite and Flash. It, too, will help you chase down targets, but Flash will let you do the same, and will also help you get away from a three person gank, where Exhaust is only good against one. Personal preference.
Everything else is worthless. You're not here to heal, protect, or even live (though that's always preferred). You're here to kill.
Dr. Mundo is a little odd in that he only has one truly active ability. The rest are all active, sure, but they're all self-targeting.
As Mundo says himself, follow the ABCs of success: Always Be Cleavin'. This attack is your bread, butter, bacon, turkey, and everything else. Use it as harassment to pull down the opponent's health before you move in for a gank. Use it to open a gank or a team fight. Use it to last hit minions for gold from a safe distance. Use it to kill a fleeing opponent. Use it to make sure a fleeing opponent doesn't get away. Learn to lead the enemy, throwing through walls and bushes to target where they'll be. Use it all the damn time. It's beautiful early game, the percentage-based damage makes it lovely late game. It is your one active skill, and it is awesome.
Burning Agony, frankly, sucks. It's useful if you're chasing someone down and need to chip away at their health, and it's useful if you're clearing out creep waves. Those two uses are very marginal, however. The best it truly offers is that it's another Mercury's Treads, so pop it if you're being chased by the opposing team. Careful, though - it does hurt to use it.
Masochism, along with the Cleaver, is what makes Mundo work. Late game, you get at least 100 extra damage per hit, more if you're low, which is pretty obscene. It also means that attack speed, not crit chance, is your go-to offensive stat. I mean, hey, crit chance is beautiful, too, but we picked the attack speed runes so that we can use Masochism to its fullest. Open with the Cleaver, kill with Masochism. If they try to get away, use the Cleaver. Use Flash, the Cleaver, and Ignite to ensure that no one makes it away from a gank alive.
Sadism requires perhaps the most attention. Like Mundo himself, Sadism is misunderstood. Actually, Mundo is misunderstood because of Sadism. This ability is not for tanking. It regenerates your health, yes, but it also gives you a 35% movement speed increase at cap. That is ridiculous. This is not an ability you use when sitting in the middle of the fight. This is an ability you use to chase the almost-dead down, to turret dive those near death, and to get away when you're being focused in a team fight, which, if you play Mundo correctly, will happen.
If you see a team fight coming, pop Sadism before it. If you get surprised and things are going poorly for you, with all the opponents focusing you, pop Sadism and run away. Your opponents will waste time trying to catch you while your teammates hit them. After six or so seconds of running, your opponents will focus on your teammates, which is precisely when you've recovered a lot of health, turn around, come back into the fight, and mop up. Sadism lets you live because it lets you run away, and it lets you kill because you can chase opponents down.
Please, do not misunderstand Adrenaline Rush. This is not the skill you build your character around. It helps keep you in lane, but it does not make you a tank.
Here's the meat of this guide. Mundo is wonderfully streamlined, as he has no mana and gets very nearly nothing at all out of ability power (a weak synergy on the worthless damage from the not-that-great Burning Agony is all). This means that we can go for the two things that make Mundo the killer he is: attack speed and movement speed. You should be an inescapable ball of purple-muscled death. As mentioned previously, Mundo is for Twisted Treeline, which means that games should be short, the early game is critical, and we're building for a twenty minute win. Ten, if possible. The goal is to get rolling early and avoid ultra expensive items until the end, if it comes to that. Nine times out of ten, it won't.
Start with the Ruby Crystal. Combined with the Quints, you'll be sporting almost 900 health at the start of the match. This will aid you and your team enormously in the early gank.
Boots of Speed should be your next item. With any luck, you'll get a kill to start the match, and you can buy these right off.
From there, build into a Spirit Visage and Boots of Swiftness. The Spirit Visage is the only defensive item we'll allow, since the Ruby Crystal is incredibly valuable as a first purchase, and the Visage works so well with Mundo's ultimate. The Boots of Swiftness, combined with the Zeals, will have you flying around the board, scoring ganks and running down virtually anyone. If the other team is stun or snare heavy, grab the Mercury's Treads .
From here on, it's Zeals, Zeals, Zeals, as far as the eye can see. Well, almost. They have movement speed, they have attack speed, and they also have crit chance! And, most importantly, they're quite cheap. Load up on them. By the time you get three, the game will likely be over. Target the Dagger first of the two components. Attack speed is more important than crit chance.
If you end up going home with 1,200 gold prior to completing the boots and the Spirit Visage, you might want to consider just springing for a Zeal. I usually do.
The last slot goes to Stark's Fervor, which fits the build and also helps the team, which might be necessary if the game is still going. Grab the Vampiric Scepter first of the components, followed by an upgrade into the Emblem of Valour .
Should your game actually go this long, which is probably bad for you, you can upgrade those Zeals. There are only two options, really, both of which are delightful.
The Phantom Dancer is a great choice, obviously, and I'd build the first two Zeals into these, if you have the opportunity.
The Trinity Force is also quite nice, and the slow is helpful. Hell, if you have the money sitting around, go for this first if you like, and you think the slow will be a big factor. A couple of the stats on the Trinity Force are wasted, however, so keep that in mind.
Play Style
This build only really works with one type of play style, and that is aggressive. Kill early, and kill often. You win the game by seeing to it that it's effectively over at the ten minute mark, even if the opponent has to wait till seventeen to surrender. A few of the finer points of your strategy:
- Get a start-of-the-game gank going. The Spirit Visage is in your six quick slots, so click on it, and then purchase a Ruby Crystal . You should be out of the base in seconds, and hopefully your teammates will be, too. Grab the Cleaver , and then wade into the bottom brush and get as close to the opponent as possible. You have tons of life, tons of damage dealing capability, a slow, Flash, and Ignite. You should be able to score a kill if the opposing team attempts a start of the game gank as well.
- Lane bottom with a partner, preferably another melee type with damage dealing capabilities, and even better, one with a stun or slow. Poppy, Tryndamere, maybe Garen, whatever. The idea is that when you decide to attack, you throw that Cleaver, and as soon as it hits, it's too late. As you rush in with Masochism active, your teammate should charge in as well, and between the two of you, you should be able to kill the target in no time. If you have any health left, you should be able to take out the remaining bottom laner.
- Sadism and Flash are offensive tools. Use them accordingly. They'll let you turret dive to get the kill on a fleeing enemy, and they'll let you catch up to one who's running. Being killed at the turret is extremely demoralizing, so the more of those you can get, the more likely you are to win the war of wills. Dominate the opponent. Make them long for the second that they can surrender.
- If there's no one around and you're in lane or in the jungle, use Sadism to regenerate health and keep yourself there. For the most part, however, you want to save it for when the speed boost will be useful.
- Wards. Use them. They'll help you get as many kills as you can.
- Use the Cleaver to last-hit minions, particularly if you're laning against a nasty ranged opponent.
- Use the Cleaver to zone and deny, especially against melee-only types, and especially if you get a few kills early.
Always Be Cleavin'
Mundo, if built properly, is a fast moving, fast hitting gank machine. He gets away from everyone, and no one gets away from him. The health regeneration he boasts is a decoy that can work to your advantage if you realize that that's all it is; his main weapon is speed. Throw yourself around Twisted Treeline with reckless abandon, and rack up those kills.


text: From: Hans-Christian Egtvedt <hcegtvedt at atmel.com> This series adds support for the ABDAC and AC97C peripherals on AVR32 devices. They also need the DW DMAC cyclic DMA API patch to work[1]. The patch set is made against kernel v2.6.29-rc3. A review would be greatly appreciated, checkpatch.pl gives no warnings and usage works as expected on hardware. Adding these drivers to the queue for the upstream kernel should wait until the cyclic DMA API for the DW DMAC driver is also in the queue for upstream. 1: http://avr32linux.org/archives/kernel/2009-February/002088.html http://avr32linux.org/archives/kernel/2009-February/002087.html -- Best regards, Hans-Christian Egtvedt

Pyle set up for bikes
Anyone have one of the Pyle systems for motorcycles? How do you like it? Would you recommend it to another biker? I have a cycle sound that I don't have mounted because it always distorted when the volume was high enough to hear on the high way. The Pyle looks small and can be used with an MP3 player and everything other than the speakers could fit in my fairing. Plus it looks like it could be done for low $$$

text: The wife of slain Cook County Circuit Judge Henry Gentile testified Thursday about how she has lived in fear since receiving two extortion notes last summer after she was shot and wounded in a robbery. Her voice quivering, Violetta Gentile testified that her son James, 29, had purchased a gun after she received notes threatening that family members would be killed if she didn`t pay extortionists $25,000. She said that after receiving the notes she moved to Texas for several weeks. James Gentile, a Blue Island attorney, is on trial on a charge of unlawful use of a weapon in connection with the Oct. 20 shooting of a former Harvey policeman, the former husband of Gentile`s girlfriend.

Agent Coulson doesn't take a day off
Artist Matt Kaufenberg apparently doesn't, either. Over on his "An Illustration-a-Day" blog, Kaufenberg shares, well, an illustration every day, and this week he's shared two that Avengers fans should dig — the above one featuring SHIELD's Agent Coulson, and similar Thor illustration about his day off. Will we find out what Hulk, Hawkeye and the rest of the crew do on their days off? Hopefully so.

From Alternet:
When you think of Canada, which qualities come to mind? The world's peace-keeper, the friendly nation, a liberal counterweight to the harsher pieties of its southern neighbor, decent, civilized, fair, well-governed? Think again. This country's government is now behaving with all the sophistication of a chimpanzee's tea party. So amazingly destructive has Canada become, and so insistent have my Canadian friends been that I weigh into this fight, that I've broken my self-imposed ban on flying and come to Toronto.
So here I am, watching the astonishing spectacle of a beautiful, cultured nation turning itself into a corrupt petrostate. Canada is slipping down the development ladder, retreating from a complex, diverse economy towards dependence on a single primary resource, which happens to be the dirtiest commodity known to man. The price of this transition is the brutalisation of the country, and a government campaign against multilateralism as savage as any waged by George Bush.
Until now I believed that the nation which has done most to sabotage a new climate change agreement was the United States. I was wrong. The real villain is Canada. Unless we can stop it, the harm done by Canada in December 2009 will outweigh a century of good works.

Please use the form above to request admissions info for Chippewa Valley Technical College.
In dentistry, there are three fast-growing employment fields. Dental assisting jobs may range from providing patient care, to record-keeping and scheduling appointments. Dental lab technicians construct, or repair, dentures and prosthetics. Dental hygienists clean teeth, examine patients for signs of oral diseases such as gingivitis, and apply sealants and fluorides to help protect teeth. They must also learn to take and develop dental x-rays. The median annual wage for dental hygienists was $52,330 in 2015, while dental assistants average $37,500 per year. Dental assisting jobs are projected to grow 19% in the coming decade.
Dental hygienists need an associates degree in dental hygiene. The programs typically take 3 years to complete, and offer laboratory, clinical, and classes in anatomy, physiology, nutrition, radiography, pathology, and periodontics. All states require dental hygienists to be licensed, although requirements vary by state. The Commission on Dental Accreditation, part of the American Dental Association, has accredited more than 300 dental assisting programs.

|Mathieu Crepel (FRA)
Photo: Arosa 2007 Bachmann
The 7th FIS Snowboard World Championships in Arosa (SUI) ended with the title contests in big air and half pipe last weekend. In the big air finals on Friday evening, the 5'500 on-site spectators saw absolutely superb riding: In the end, 22-year-old Mathieu Crepel (FRA) earned the World Champion title after he collected 29.4 points - the highest score so far in the new K.o.-format - for his "Switch Backside 1260". In Saturday's half pipe finals with almost 8'000 spectators, Crepel became the only double Champion in the 2007 championships as he beat Kazuhiro Kokubo (JPN) by just 0.1 points. Manuela Laura Pesko (SUI) took the ladies' freestyle title.
Overall, the Arosa 2007 FIS Snowboard World Championships were a great success. Special thanks go to the Organizing Committee around President Thomas Gurzeler and General Secretary Hello Haas, and their many staff and volunteers, as well as to the various FIS officials, technical advisors and builders, especially David Ny (SBX/HP), Ali Zehetner (BA/HP) and Uwe Beier (SBX/PAR). All competitions were held in excellent conditions despite the warm front that passed through in the middle of last week. A grand total of more than 25'000 spectators witnessed a record of 48 countries and some 400 riders compete. There were 12 nations that won medals, six of which returned home with gold medals. While Switzerland took the most medals - a total of seven - France had three golden ones, and Poland and Japan each celebrated their first-ever FIS Snowboard World Championships medals. Lindsay Jacobellis (USA) was the only 2005 World Champion able to defend her title, while Rok Flander (SLO) became the second most successful rider with two medals (gold & bronze) after double Champion Crepel, and Philipp Schoch (SUI) won two silver medals. The youngest medalist was 16-year-old Helene Olafsen (NOR), last year's silver medalist at the Junior World Championships, who took bronze in the ladies' snowboardcross although she has yet to launch her World Cup career.

Four first-time winners in the Nordic World Cups
The Viessmann FIS World Cup Cross-Country returned to Russia for the first time in four years last weekend. In Rybinsk, the organizing committee had spared no efforts to host the event, preparing the 2.5-km course with the help of 2'000 volunteers of crushed ice from the Volga river along with some artificial snow. To the joy of the 40'000 spectators, Alexander Legkov (RUS) took his first World Cup victory in Saturday's mass start race in front of a home audience. The weekend saw another two first-time winners as Riitta Liisa Roponen (FIN) won the ladies' mass start event and Renato Pasini (ITA) the men's sprint on Sunday. In the ladies' sprint, Arianna Follis completed the Italian celebration while Kikkan Randall (USA) earned the first-ever Cross-Country World Cup podium by a female U.S. skier, finishing third in a photo finish. By collecting additional 95 and 120 points, respectively, both Viessmann FIS Tour de Ski winners Virpi Kuitunen (FIN) and Tobias Angerer (GER) grew their leads in the overall World Cup standings.
In the e.on ruhrgas World Cup Ski Jumping in Zakopane (POL), 26'000 spectators saw the 21-year-old Slovene Rok Urbanc become this season's 6th individual winner as he took his career-first victory. In the difficult wind conditions with unexpected gusts, the competition had to be completed in only one round. Roar Ljoekelsoey, last several seasons' Ski Flying comet, ranked 2nd, taking his first podium place this season. World Cup leader Anders Jacobsen (NOR) finished 7th, further growing his lead ahead of 2nd-placed Gregor Schlierenzauer (AUT), who was 9th.
In the Warsteiner FIS World Cup Nordic Combined in Seefeld (AUT), Felix Gottwald (AUT) won his 20th World Cup event, this time on home snow. The 31-year-old double Olympic champion, ranked fifth after the ski jumping, skied very strongly, winning comfortably ahead of Jason Lamy Chappuis of France. Hannu Manninen (FIN), winner of the last three World Cup overall titles, was fourth and reduced Christoph Bieler's lead to 28 points at the top of the standings. Sunday's event had to be cancelled due to heavy winds and rain.

Alpine World Cups in Val d'Isere and Cortina
In the men's Audi FIS Alpine World Cup, Pierre-Emmanuel Dalcin (FRA) thrilled the home fans by winning a World Cup downhill in Val d'Isere on Saturday. Along with a formidable performance by Team Canada that placed Erik Guay in second and Manuel Osborne-Paradis in third, Dalcin took his maiden World Cup win. His victory finally ended a 12-year winless streak for French skiers on the Oreiller-Killy downhill course. On Sunday, winds and fog forced cancellation of the super combined event that already had been moved from Chamonix because of poor conditions. With no more speed competitions scheduled before the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Are (SWE), Didier Cuche (SUI) leads the downhill standings while Bode Miller (USA) heads those in super-G. In the overall standings, Aksel Lund Svindal (NOR) continues to lead, ahead of Cuche and Miller.
In Cortina d'Ampezzo (ITA), on one of the toughest ladies' speed courses on the World Cup, American Julia Mancuso continued her stellar January, taking her third season and career World Cup win in Friday's super-G. Besides Nicole Hosp in second and Renate Goetschl in third, there were another three Austrians in the top 12. On Saturday, Goetschl won the downhill on the soft but solid 2.8-km Olympia delle Tofane course, stretching her record of wins at Cortina to ten. France's 21-year-old Marie Marchand-Arvier was third for the best result of her career so far. In Sunday's foggy giant slalom, the Italians made the most out of home ground advantage, placing four skiers in the top ten, including Karen Putzer for the win and Denise Karbon in third. With her fifth straight podium result in four disciplines - three of them this weekend - Mancuso moved up to third place in the overall FIS World Cup rankings, 87 points behind Marlies Schild (AUT) who continues to lead with 881 points.
The 6th Winter Asian Games will be held in Changchun (CHN) from 28th January, 2007-4th February 2007. A celebration of winter sports in Asia held every four years, this the second time that China will be hosting the Winter Asiad; the first time was in Harbin in 1996. The first-ever Winter Asian Games were held in Sapporo in 1988. Since the last time the event took place in China, the interest in winter sports has considerably increased in China as well as around the Asian continent.
Regulated by the Olympic Council of Asia under the supervision of the International Olympic Committee, the 15th Summer Asian Games were just held in Doha, Qatar from 1st - 15th December. In Changchun, a total of 47 medal events in ten sports will be contested; of FIS's disciplines, Alpine Skiing, Cross-Country Skiing, Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard are represented. In addition, participants will compete in Biathlon, Curling, Figure Skating, Ice Hockey, Short Track Speed Skating and Speed Skating. Changchun, the capital and largest city in Jilin province, is located in north-eastern China. The metropolitan area has a population of 6.83 million and a population of 2.78 million in the city proper. The skiing events will be held at Beida Lake Skiing Resort, located some 140 km from Changchun, which also hosted the season opening Freestyle FIS World Cup aerials events in December 2006.
For more information on the 6th Winter Asian Games, please visit the official web site here.
Marcialonga - one of the classic long distance competitions and Italy's largest ski race - is set to host the second stage of the FIS Marathon Cup this weekend. Despite ongoing weather difficulties across much of Europe, race will be held on a 50km track.
Also undeterred by the weather are the participants: Marcialonga has been sold out of starting positions already weeks ago, and a record 5,177 competitors, 3,005 of them from outside of Italy, will take part. Among those will by Olympic champions Andrus Veerpalu (EST) and Gabrielle Paruzzi (ITA), as well as the overall leaders of the FIS Marathon Cup, Jerry Ahrlin (SWE) and Lara Peyrot (ITA).
This upward trend in participation among the most important popular races is not only seen at Marcialonga. Despite difficult snow conditions across Europe, Sweden's Vasaloppet is already sold out, as usual. Others, including Tartu Marathon (EST), K"nig-Ludwig-Lauf (GER), and Engadin Skimarathon (SUI), are all reporting record levels of registration. Popular skiers are clearly taking advantage of the hard work of the organizing committees, who are providing tracks when many areas cannot. Marcialonga is the second race in the now seven-stage, 433km-long (accumulated distance) FIS Marathon Cup after Jizersk Pades tka (CZE) was cancelled due to a lack of snow.
The FIS Nordic Junior and Under-23 World Ski Championships, scheduled to be held in Tarvisio (ITA) from 29th January - 4th February, had to be rescheduled to mid-March due to the unseasonably warm weather and resulting lack of snow.
While the Viessmann FIS Cross-Country World Cup events in Otep"" (EST) will take place as planned, the next Warsteiner FIS World Cup Nordic Combined events in Harrachov (CZE) had to be cancelled due to a lack of snow. The e.on ruhrgas FIS World Cup Ski Jumping will continue in Oberstdorf (GER) with two competitions on the large hill rather than on the Ski Flying hill.
In the men's Audi FIS Alpine World Cup, two slaloms will be held in Kitzbuehel (AUT) next weekend, including one rescheduled from Wengen ten days ago. Due to the warm front that passed across Europe, there is not enough snow to hold the legendary Hahnenkamm downhill and super-G races. Efforts are underway to find a substitute for the super combined cancelled in Val d Isere (FRA) due to snowfall and wind. The ladies' events in San Sicario (ITA) will take place as planned, including the additional super-G.
Finally, the Freestyle FIS World Cup moguls, aerials and ski cross competitions Splinderyv Mlyn (CZE) have been postponed to a later date. The Les Contamines (FRA) ski cross cancelled earlier has been rescheduled for 2nd February and the dual moguls competition originally scheduled in La Plagne (FRA) before Christmas has been rescheduled for 6th February, 2007.
|Council's Corner
|Leonid Tyagachev (RUS)
This week we feature some questions and answers with FIS Vice President Leonid Tyagachev (RUS).
Q. What are your first impressions since you were elected to the FIS Council in Vilamoura in May? You were also elected as FIS Vice President, succeeding Mr. Akentiev, who had successfully served on the Council for many years. How is it to follow in his footsteps?
A. I'm very glad to have joined the FIS Council. My first impressions are great! I will try to do my best to continue the successful activities of Mr. Anatoli Akentiev who worked for FIS for a very long time. We will continue to work with him in our activities for ski sports in Russia and the CIS countries. I hope to make my contribution for the development of the sport of skiing worldwide through my participation in the FIS Council and by taking wise decisions for the popularization of our sports.
Q. How do you evaluate the future prospects for skiing in Russia?
A. Traditionally, ski sports are very strong in Russia. But we know that we still have space for further development in this area. We now have to create winter sports centers with cross-country stadiums, modern jumping hills, alpine skiing and snowboard resorts in different parts of our country. This is also my policy in my position as President of the National Olympic Committee.
Q. Russia hosted the 2006 FIS Freestyle Junior World Championships in Krasnoe Ozero last March, and has staged the Nokia Snowboard FIS World Cup in the past three seasons as well as the Viessmann FIS World Cup Cross-Country last weekend in Rybinsk. Do you see Russia increasingly taking on hosting responsibility for large events?
A. Every year, we organize some international events that are included in the FIS calendar such as the Russian Open National Championships, World and Continental Cups. It was a great challenge to prepare everything for the World Cup in Rybinsk because we do not have snow this winter in Russia as in the rest of Europe. My policy here is to awaken the interest by the Government of Russia, by the local governments, governors and mayors of different cities to develop ski sports in their regions and to carry out World Cups, European and Continental Cups not only in ski sports but in all winter sports. We already have several traditional winter sports cities, such as Sheregesh, Tashtagol, Krasnaja Poliana, Khanty-Manssijsk, Shukolovo, Bannoje, Sajanogorsk, St.Petersburg and Ekaterinburg, and I'm sure that we'll have some others in the future.

"I am very satisfied, the snow conditions in Źre are excellent," concluded Mundahl. "Below the fresh snow there is more than 70 cm of compact canon snow," added Nalle Hansson, Arena Manager.
The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships will begin in Źre on 3rd February 2007.

In its November 2006 meeting, the FIS Council appointed Termas de Chillan (CHI) as host for the FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships in 2010. This will be the first the time the world's best junior alpine racers will compete for the championship titles in South America. Previously, Chile has hosted the 19th FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Portillo in September, 1966. "We are very proud of our appointment for 2010; the same year that we will celebrate the bicentennial of our independence," noted Luis Alberto Santa Cruz, President of the Chilean Ski and Snowboard Federation. "We aim to work very hard so that this JWSC will be remembered as one of the best ever. For our Federation, hosting this event is a wonderful opportunity to develop skiing at the children and junior level in Chile. It will also allow us to show the world that even in such a small country, we can organize excellent competitions. We also think that Argentina and Brazil will take advantage of this to promote their skiing more broadly."
Currently, the two most important skiing disciplines in Chile are Alpine Skiing and Snowboard. The three national teams - men, ladies and juniors - train during the Southern winter season in Chile and participate in the South American Continental Cup as well as in other FIS races in South America. During the Southern summer, the teams train and compete in Europe. "In this season's South American Cup, we took the third and fourth places in the ladies overall rankings through Noelle Barahona (winner in super-G) and Macarena Benvenuto, and in the men's, the second, third, and fourth places through Jorge Mandru (winner super-G, second in downhill), Cristian Anguita and Maui Gayme (winner downhill), respectively. In the overall Nations Cup, Chile was third behind the United States and Argentina. We will also have a team of four men participating in the FIS Alpine World Ski Championship in Sweden," elaborated Santa Cruz.
"This year, we are going to start a new program to prepare our Children II for the Junior World Championships in 2010. And we support all the ski associations in the country in developing their Children I and II for the Children National Championships. In addition, we take advantage of the different programs that the FIS has, such as the Alpine and Snowboard camps within the Aid & Promotion program. For the past two years, we have also been sending a group of Children II to a training camp in Spain and we will continue with this program. Finally, we support training camps in Europe and United States for children that participate in different FIS competitions like Formigal, Topolino and Borrufa, and are also starting to develop Freestyle Skiing here."

|Sonja Reichen
We continue our series of brief portraits of key FIS staff. These are intended to help you know who to contact for what and to provide some more background on who you might already be working with in the FIS Office in Oberhofen (SUI). This week in focus, Sonja Reichen who celebrated her 20th anniversary at FIS this week.
FIS Newsflash: What is your area of responsibility in the FIS Office?
Sonja Reichen: As Assistant for the FIS Alpine World and Continental Cups, I support the administration of the series of competitions including the competition calendar and general support for all the FIS Race Directors, national teams and their coaches and international TV stations. Additionally another of my main tasks is providing support for the committees with the development of rules for the FIS World and Continental Cups, the International Ski Competition Rules (ICR) and Specifications for Competition Equipment and Commercial Markings. I am also providing experienced assistance to the Alpine Skiing FIS Technical Delegates program handled by Christophe Boehlen, following changes in personnel this season. Finally, I coordinate the starting times for all FIS World Cup competitions across disciplines, which during the season is a weekly challenge, and communicate about any changes to the media.
FIS Newsflash: How did you come to work for FIS?
Sonja Reichen: 20 years ago, FIS was looking for help with general administrative tasks for Alpine Skiing and I responded to a newspaper ad. One of the requirements for the position were good language skills and I think one of the reasons I was chosen was the fact that I speak German, English, French, Italian and Spanish. In fact, I use most of them - especially English, German and French - on a regular basis in my work. When I started, there were just few of us working with Alpine Skiing. However, given how the sport has grown and how important the World Cup circuit has become, I am glad we now have the support of some additional resources let alone the entire technical infrastructure for managing this increased complexity professionally.
FIS Newsflash: What do you enjoy most, at your FIS work and outside of it?
Sonja Reichen: I very much like the regular contact I have with people from all around the world. My job is also very diverse and no day is like another, especially during a season like the current one. I enjoy working with sports; I personally like to ski, though I have never competed. Otherwise, I enjoy spending time with my partner and family, including my two sons, and most recently, with my newest hobby, motorcycling. Overall, I like being outside in nature because I love the mountains - all of them - and also like the sun and warm weather. That is probably why Spain has become almost like a second home for me and I guess that is where we will spend our next holiday, too.

Two Poems
~Kathleen Ossip
|On Sadness
I noticed something strange and beautiful about the word "sad." It's the only emotion word that you can use for a general situation and also for how a person feels.
You can say "I'm sad." And when someone dies or love is gone you can say "It's so sad."
You can't say (about a situation) "It's happy" or "It's anxious" or "It's ashamed" or "It's angry."
I don't do sad very well. It seems to be the hardest emotional state to accept and even to honor or celebrate.
I want to leap immediately from "I'm sad" to "The world is ugly and the people are sad."
Or "I'm sad so the world is fucked up so I want to blow up the world."
Or "I'm sad and then it will pass and I'll be happy again."
You always asked: What do I feel like doing? I always ask: What should I be? Those are two very different ways of being sad
or happy. That's why your death fell like a sea on me. Sadness flopped violently at my feet
then it died too, and now the remnants of sadness lie scattered about the situation, like bones and salt.
|On Beauty
Firstly, you are beautiful,
moonfaced brothers and sisters.
But after that, what
is not open to question?
To pick up the torn wing
and paperclip it onto the angel
is a distortion rapidly done.
Distortion is beautiful,
and loud hearty laughter
as of the gods.
Beauty moves upwards from the leaf,
downwards from the root.
Beauty is quietly
born from boredom
into fabulousness or plainness.
Don't ask whether it exists.
It's a redundancy to say real.
Beauty is truth? Don't ask.
Ask for inner resources unlimited.
Ask for a goldfinch feather
in a balsawood box.
Look not at what is loved
but what stimulates and soothes.
Brothers and sisters,
are words beautiful or ugly
because we mean them
so very deeply?

MSI Tech support says I have to use slower DDR3 ram in this unusual DDR2-DDR3 board. I purchased Crucial (and a competitors) locally at Microcenter. All ram was new, not customer returns or refurbished.
I tried the following sets, both in pairs and one at a time with bios version 32.12, then their latest bios 32.15, getting the same results. DDR2 and DDR3 was not mixed at any time.
Processor: Core 2 Duo e8400, no overclocking of ram or cpu, setup default bios settings, EVGA PCI-X 8400 series video card, 500 watt ATX Power Supply.
Crucial Ballistic Sport BG112P9.LV PC12800 1600Mhz 2 x 4gb, and 1 x 4 gb 1.5v, no post , 3 long beeps
Kingston Blue KHX1333C9D3B1K2 PC1066 1333 Mhz, 2 x 4gb, and 1 x 4 gb 1.5v, 3 long beeps
MSI responded and said to use PC3-8500 1.5 volts (not listed on the crucial website in this memory recommended for this system board), even though their manual says it will accept PC1066.
Interestingly, I had some leftover Crucial unbuffered ECC ram, P/N:
Crucial CT2CP51272BD160B Workstation Ram with ECC PC3 12800 1.35v
This memory posted successfully, and passed with 12 hours testing of MemTest Plus, Windows 7 comes up fine. The Intel G41 chipset states ecc memory is not supported.
Your competitor's FAQ states (I can reply with the competitor's url, if that's permitted), I have bolded the interesting part:
ECC (Error Correcting Code) memory includes an additional memory chip which allows the motherboard to detect and correct one bit errors. This increases data reliability and can help identify a failing memory module. All registered and fully buffered memory modules also include ECC functionality. But there is also ECC unbuffered memory that is usually used in higher end workstation computers. In some cases, you can use ECC unbuffered memory in a computer that takes unbuffered memory but does not have ECC functionality. It just will not use this feature of the memory.
So I am looking for feedback, on whether or not leaving the Crucial ECC memory in this board is a wise idea (or not).
Hi eric2143,
Thank you for contacting us today. It looks like the issue with installing the Ballistix RAM with your system is due to compatibility. We do not list that memory upgrade as being compatible with your system. A list of available upgrades can be found here. It doesn't appear that your system is compatible with ECC, either. It looks like it may just be luck that that upgrade has worked for you so far. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
Best regards,

Orlando, Florida
|Krista Hendry became Executive Director of The Fund for Peace (FFP) in January of 2009 after nearly a decade at the organization. Ms. Hendry has played a critical role in the organization''s restructuring from a traditional think tank to an organization focused on building local capacity, utilizing partnerships across sectors, and creating a working environment that enables FFP to have a major impact globally through constant innovation, multi-stakeholder collaboration and the use of information technology.From 2004-2011, Ms. Hendry directed FFP's Human Rights and Business Roundtable, a collaborative multi-stakeholder forum that focuses on issues related to businesses operating in conflict-sensitive areas. Under Ms. Hendry's leadership, FFP's Sustainable Development and Sustainable Security program has become one of the most innovative of its kind, working with the private sector to support the development and implementation of human rights policies, procedures, trainings, and assessment frameworks primarily in the oil, gas and mining industries.

HBRI is a replication of the Human Rights and Business Roundtable model to build the trust and skills needed to promote public private partnerships to increase the availability of resources related to health in Indonesia. She currently serves as technical advisor to Company-Community Partnerships for Health Worldwide (CCPHW), which was created as a result of replicating the Roundtable concept in Indonesia.
Further, Ms. Hendry was instrumental in the initial development of the UNLocK Program which increases local conflict early warning and assessment capacity within civil society in various African nations.

BSN Syntha-6 Isolate Review
BSN have been at the forefront of the nutritional and sporting supplement industry over the past decade. With a range of high quality, great tasting products that work, it's no wonder BSN (Body Science Nutrition) has become one of the most trusted brands today. What's strange however is the absence of a simple, fast-absorbing blended protein powder for post-workout with few carbohydrates or fat. Enter BSN Syntha-6 Isolate.
What is BSN Syntha-6 Isolate?
BSN Syntha-6 Isolate is a reboot of their popular Syntha-6 series, but with 75% less fat and 50% less carbohydrates. In addition, it uses a unique blend of slow and fast absorbing proteins to help you achieve the best recovery and muscle building capacity you can.
BSN Syntha-6 Isolate Reviews
BSN Syntha-6 Isolate comes with several innovations from the original Syntha-6 including:
- ISOLAST™ Protein Matrix – A 50:50 mixture of slow absorbing milk protein isolate and fast absorbing whey protein isolate, which will help provide sustained and prolonged release of amino acids into the body. A constant supply of protein means constant muscle protein synthesis, keeping you anabolic for longer.
- Lower Carbohydrate & Fat Content – A 75% decrease in the amount of fat and 50% decrease in carbohydrates makes BSN Syntha-6 Isolate a perfect protein blend to use as a meal or snack replacement or with anyone in a non-bulking phase. With less carbs, less fat and less calories, it will help you achieve a lean, toned physique and a better body composition. In addition, more fat will impede the digestion of protein, which can slow down the absorption of important muscle building protein.
- Added Fiber Blend – A blend of fibers including polydextrose and inulin is included which can help boost your daily fiber intake and promote improved gut health.
BSN Syntha-6 Isolate Flavour & Mixability
At the moment BSN Syntha-6 Isolate comes in 3 official flavors, Vanilla Ice-Cream, Chocolate Milkshake and Strawberry Milkshake. While the Neapolitan mix of flavours is small in comparison to the original Syntha-6, all three flavours have the same delicious, creamy texture and taste of the original. The flavour is not too sweet and has a thick consistency (albeit less thick than the original) with the recommended amount of water, so some might consider using extra water. BSN Syntha-6 Isolate mixes well with no clumping with water or milk. However the texture is somewhat courser compared to the original, most likely a result of the milk protein component.
BSN Syntha-6 Isolate Dosage
A typical 38g serving of Syntha-6 Isolate contains:
- 140 Calories
- 25g of Protein
- 7g of Carbohydrates
- 1.5g of Fat
BSN Syntha-6 Isolate - Who It's For
With an ergogenic mix of essential amino acids and branched chain amino acids with a low amount of carbs and fat, BSN Syntha-6 Isolate is the perfect protein for those who crave lean muscle mass and is a great protein to promote recovery whilst on a cutting phase due to a strong availability of proteins with a minimal amount of calories. BSN Syntha-6 Isolate also combines well with BSN's other latest products, HyperFX and EvoTest to provide unprecedented anabolic potential

Ada L. Weldon passed away Saturday, May 28, 2011, at her home in Hood River, Ore., surrounded by her loving family. She was born Aug. 11, 1919, to Emery and Elsia Arlint, of Norquay, Saskatchewan, and traveled by covered wagon to Bozeman, Mont., with her family when she was 5 years old.
Ada grew up in Montana and married Vernon Weldon, where they raised three children. They then moved to Hood River in 1972 to be close to family. Her husband preceded her in death in 1976.
Ada loved gardening, taking care of family and sewing. She was loved by all who knew her. Ada was one of Jehovah's Witnesses since 1948 and she was very active and loved to talk about what she believed and the hope of the resurrection to paradise on earth.
She is survived by her son Charles Weldon and daughter, Ruth Larsen. Her son Harold Weldon preceded her in death in 2007. Ada is survived by 11 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild and two sisters, Lela and Ruby. She will be missed by all.
Services will be held June 4 at 3 p.m. at the local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1690 Tucker Road, Hood River.

jumpsuit - Style Moi
necklace - Front Row Shop
heels - Primark
dress - Oh My Love c/o charity shop
choker - depop
heels - (as before)
dress - Missguided
necklace - ebay
heels - (as before)
Well, my prom seems decades ago, but since end of year balls/events are almost upon us, I thought I'd share three of my favourite looks for the formal season..
This Style Moi jumper which I was very kindly sent, is the first one I've ever owned and it has not disappointed.. I love the idea of wearing a jumpsuit to a formal event as a change from the usual dresses etc, especially with the cut out detail. Had I been one of the "cool kids" in school, I definitely would have worn this.
I was lucky enough to find this dress in a charity shop (the ones in Liverpool centre are yet to fail me) and despite the skater style being something I wouldn't usually opt for, I just could not resist that print!
Classic and black, I'm pretty sure this failsafe choice is the one I shall be opting for this year. I love how I could go crazy with accessories or simply wear this silver choker and either would work perfectly.
Which one would you choose?

Ressies push Villa all the way
The only goal of the game on 23 minutes settled the contest in favour of Aston Villa as our reserve side fell to a first defeat of the season at Villa Park on Monday night.
The only goal of the game on 23 minutes settled the contest in favour of Aston Villa as our reserve side fell to a first defeat of the season at Villa Park on Monday night.
It turned out to be an unfortunate own goal that determined the destination of points and, despite a second half rally, Villa held firm and won the night.
Marlon Harewood drilled wide on five minutes as he attempted to put his experience and power to effective use in a Villa side that contained a liberal sprinkling of players with a Premier League pedigree.
The man many of the locals had come to have a glimpse at was Carlos Cuellar, the recent recruit from Rangers at a reported £8m, who has yet to feature at first team level due to injury. He was partnered by Zat Knight at the back, while there was a familiar face on the Villa right in Wayne Routledge.
Chris Herd was next to fire just wide of the upright on 19 minutes as the home side pretty much dictated the tempo of the encounter with some lively wing play.
Three minutes later Villa took the lead in fortunate circumstances. A Zoltan Stieber corner fizzed through a crowd of players and sat up nicely for Herd to take a potshot on goal. Ben Alnwick made a superb reaction block, but the ball diverted onto the knee of David Hutton, who was on post duty, trickling over the line and into the net.
Isaiah Osbourne then rattled the crossbar before, in the moments before half-time, Routledge sped through on goal and should have scored, but poked wide of Alnwick's right hand post. Harewood burst through in a similar fashion before the whistle sounded with the same end result, albeit past the other post. Kevin Prince Boateng mounted a response at the other end, but shot wide in first half stoppage time.
Adel Taarabt and Hutton combined to present Boateng with the first chance of the second period, the German teed up to shoot from the edge of the area, but opted for placement rather than power and planted wide of the post,
Hutton carved himself out a chance on 56 minutes, this time opting for power and blasting over the crossbar.
Whatever Clive Allen said at half-time certainly seemed to have an effect on his side as an, at best, lethargic first half display was replaced by an energetic and imaginative start to the second.
Villa were pressed firmly on the back foot as the likes of Hutton and Andy Barcham injected pace into the team's efforts, supported by the unlikely source of Ricardo Rocha making sorties from the back.
Adam Smith and Andros Townsend took the place of Takura Mtandari and Kyle Fraser-Allen on 65 minutes, both substitutes having enjoyed some first team exposure over the pre-season period.
A breakthrough continued to prove elusive despite a far greater share of possession, with a Taarabt drive failing to really trouble Elliott Parish in the Villa goal with just over 15 minutes remaining.
Villa appeared to have weathered a minor storm as we entered the final ten minutes and established a foothold back in the game. Clive sent on striker Alex Olsen in place of Rocha for the last six minutes in a late bid to salvage some reward from the night.
It was not to be.
