North American Herb & Spice
North American Herb and Spice was founded in 1999 by Judy Kay Gray, MS with the idea that nourishment from raw whole foods is the key to maintaining optimal health. Today those founding ideals serve as the foundation for more than 130 unique products, formulations that are highly nourishing and naturally powerful. Throughout the years North American Herb and Spice has exemplified quality in all the ingredients used to formulate its products. From the remote mountains of the Mediterranean to the valleys of the Amazon rainforest, North American Herb and Spice has sourced the finest fruits, herbs, and spices in the world. Wild handpicked spices such as the oregano we use in Oreganol P73 are the cornerstone of our product line. The phenolic compounds found in these spices have been revered since antiquity for their powerful effects. These whole, fresh spices are steam distilled using the same processes used for generations, capturing the concentrated essential oil at often astounding ratios. These concentrated spice oils are then emulsified in extra virgin olive oil at the perfect ratio for power and palatability. Through this proprietary process invented by our founder Ms. Gray, the spice extract market in the United States was revived after problems with adulteration hindered its growth in the early 1950s. The end result was the purest, most powerful spice extracts made from the purest ingredients free from pesticides, chemicals, and solvents.
Our wild oregano is handpicked by villagers in the most remote mountainous regions of the Mediterranean. This ensures the impeccable purity and quality of the essential oils we provide. When the wild spice and herbs are steam distilled to extract the powerful essential oils, it is done with pure, underground spring waters. This is a technique used by the indigenous peoples of the region for centuries. After the steam distillation process is complete, the essential oils are then tested to ensure the phytochemical markers are within our expectations. When the essential oils are emulsified, it is in organic extra virgin olive oil, which by itself possesses powerful nutritive properties. We never adulterate our products with fillers, chemicals, or solvents.
North American Herb and Spice's early challenges have led to the development of not only the most unique variety of products in the world, but also a standard for quality second to none. The mission of North American Herb and Spice is not only to educate the public on the powers of raw whole foods, but to create a morale standard for the way we nourish our bodies. Our beliefs intertwine with movements across the globe that advocate the conservation of our natural resources and maintain the delicate balance of nature. For this we align ourselves and support causes that set a high morale standard for the respect of nature and our health. We are opposed to the use of genetically modified organisms in our food. We believe in the power of raw foods, and the power that uncooked vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and enzymes posses. We believe that nature intended for our bodies to depend on natural-source vitamins and minerals, not synthetics. It is these among other ideals that have fueled our pursuit for a happier and healthier human race.
At North American Herb and Spice we are dedicated to the expansive research and education into the possible uses for spice, herb, and fruit extracts beyond what has been handed down throughout the generations. In an era of information, it is critical that those wanting more information about natural/alternative products are able to obtain it without hindrance. It is essential that those seeking more information on the benefits of natural/alternative products voice their desire for more information. This is of great importance because it allows for every individual to have a choice and the personal freedom to determine what is in their own best interests. We appreciate each and everyone who is and will be a supporter of North American Herb and Spice because we know that only through education will change occur. As we are dedicated to the education and health of our customer, we have observed our customers are equally dedicated to educating their friends and family. This exchange is truly beneficial to all exemplifies our mission and the intended result of our efforts.
In yet another effort to provide the highest quality functional foods, North American Herb and Spice has released a line of products from the wild Amazon rainforest. These raw, delicious delights have been the staple of the Peruvian diet for ages; civilizations have been built on the unbelievable power and health provided by these functional foods. As a relentless pioneer in the industry, North American Herb and Spice is the only source for cold-pressed pure raw maca extract, pure raw purple corn, and a host of other non-adulterated exotic raw fruit and root extracts that contain absolutely no alcohol or solvents. These exotic Amazon extracts are in high demand and short supply. In order to maintain these wonderful products in our line North American Herb and Spice is engaging in an educational campaign aimed to peak awareness into the usefulness of these natural resource programs. Renewable resource programs that will maintain these lands and allow our children to benefit from all the wild Amazon has to offer.

The $7 Cup of Tea
Earlier this month, New York Times food critic Frank Bruni kicked off a new feature called That Costs WHAT?!? While the gratuitous punctuation seems...unseemly for such an august publication, it's interesting to note that first of these columns tackled the issue of tea.
Specifically, in this case, the tea served at a joint called BLT Market. While the specifics are not completely clear it seems that this was mint "tea" served in a bag, perhaps of the pyramid type. What's not so unclear is that the bill for this beverage came to $7. While there may be $7 cups of tea out there that are actually worth $7, it's highly likely that this is not one of them.
Features a pretty lively comments section, if you have the stomach for that sort of thing.

I saw the article when it first came out... I felt it was best to stay out of it. I find NYC to be way over priced as it is.
Btw, the second phase of the tea contest (http://tinyurl.com/5zkzj2) is live and I'd love to see your entry!

Was just wondering if you have come across a tea bag that has a red label that says "my cup" on it. I am trying to find out what kind it is.
Thanks so much,

Southwest Missouri Woman Says Man Blackmailing Her With Video
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri woman says she is being blackmailed by a California man who is threatening to send a nude webcam video of her to her friends and workplace if she doesn't pay him $5,000.
The 38-year-old Springfield woman told police she had been recorded as a "full nude web-cam girl" for a singles website. The woman says the website "matched" her, based on personality, with a man Nov. 10.
The Springfield News-Leader reports the woman received emails from the San Diego man threatening to release the video unless she paid him. She went to police Friday with emails from the man referencing a video involving the naked woman and her "lovers."
Police say the woman declined to answer questions about whether any of the videos involved other people.


text: There is some fascination I have with tables that break down into small spaces, here is yet another one. This one uses ratchet tensioners that you typically use to secure cargo, but I kinda like the look! This would be an interesting addition to a tumbleweed house. You could break this down and store it under your mattress, you wouldn't see it, but when you want to have a group of folks over for a party outside in the garden or wherever, you suddenly have a big table.

MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala. - Getting nine birdies on the back nine as a team in one of the early groups, the No. 2 Georgia College & State University golf squad sat back and watched plenty of teams fall behind as the Bobcats share fifth place after one round at the NCAA South/Southeast SuperRegional today (May 4).
The Bobcats shot a two-over 290 on the par-72, 7,126-yard Robert Trent Jones at the Shoals course. Just two teams managed to shoot under par.
Sophomore Billy Shida (Berkeley Lake, Ga.) powers the Bobcats with a top-five score, standing fourth at a three-under 69, his lowest round this season. Shida was consistent with just one hole over par on the day.
Classmate Joe Young (Cochran, Ga.) is 17th with an even-par effort. His birdie on the par-five 17th helped bring him back to even. Junior Niclas Johansson (Skanor, Sweden) is 43rd at two-over. The No. 18 player in the nation was schizophrenic on the back nine with four bogeys and three birdies.
Junior Pedro C. Lima (Sao Paulo, Brazil) carded a 75 in 56th, fighting out of a triple bogey on the third hole with three birdies after that. Classmate Francisco Bide (Buenos Aires, Argentina) struggled with an 80, as the 2009 Bobcat Invitational Champion will hope to rebound tomorrow.
Host No. 11 University of North Alabama is first at seven-under, with No. 9 Lynn University three strokes behind. No. 12 Barry University is third at even par, with No. 16 University of West Florida at one over and No. 1 Columbus State University tied with the Bobcats. Lynn's Chris Goldan leads the field at five-under, one pace ahead of the UNA duo Jake Greer and Brett Munson.
The Bobcats take to the links again tomorrow with a pair of rounds remaining in the three-day affair. Georgia College is defending the 2008 title and will start with Shida at 12:50 p.m. Follow the action with live stats at www.GolfStat.com .

Discovery Tools: Better Internet Interfaces & Playlists/
Finding what you want to watch when you want to watch SHOULD be the easiest thing in the world. It still will always be hard to know what you want to watch, mind you -- but if you do, you should be able to find it. In terms of the knowing part of the equation, playlists are a start. Every social media site should have an easy to use playlist function that allows you to post what you are going to watch, and for others watching those films to find you. The film watching experience is only partially about content. It is also about social and we need to have easier tools to connect with if we are going to make it all work again,
And combining playlists with easy searches of what is available online is the start of something truly great. Clicker helps a great deal in this regard. The ability to share playlists is a key thing when it comes to discovery and it doesn't look like that is a possibility with Clicker unfortunately. We want to be able to build playlists, post them, embed them, share them.
Reid Rosefelt's SpeedCine is another such searcg tool. Or rather was. It's was easy to search but still had no playlist function. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that such a service shuts down in these economic times -- but still I am. These are the tools we need. Search & Share. They are services that all film organizations should offer. Someone should take over what Reid built, be it IFP, FIND, Indiewire, or MOMA. Someone, please!
What of course all these services miss is a real curating function managed by a trusted critic/educator/filmmaker/brand. Or rather several curators. Imagine how cool it would be if you could see what filmmakers you respected wanted to watch, and with one click there you were, and with another click, you could engage in discussion with a whole bunch of other film fanatics and discuss the film.
Surely, some smart people must be out there building this stuff. It can't be that hard. If only the film world had more collaboration with the tech world. Let's get it built and put it to use.

Klein: How war was turned into a brand
Naomo Klein on Israel's military-industrial complex:
Israel's economy isn't booming despite the political chaos that devours the headlines but because of it. This phase of development dates back to the mid-90s, when the country was in the vanguard of the information revolution - the most tech-dependent economy in the world. After the dotcom bubble burst in 2000, Israel's economy was devastated, facing its worst year since 1953. Then came 9/11, and suddenly new profit vistas opened up for any company that claimed it could spot terrorists in crowds, seal borders from attack, and extract confessions from closed-mouthed prisoners.There is a more sophisticated, highly original version of this thesis in the work of Jonathan Nitzan and Shimshon Bichler, notably in their groundbreaking book The Global Political Economy of Israel.
Within three years, large parts of Israel's tech economy had been radically repurposed. Put in Friedmanesque terms, Israel went from inventing the networking tools of the "flat world" to selling fences to an apartheid planet. Many of the country's most successful entrepreneurs are using Israel's status as a fortressed state, surrounded by furious enemies, as a kind of 24-hour-a-day showroom, a living example of how to enjoy relative safety amid constant war. And the reason Israel is now enjoying supergrowth is that those companies are busily exporting that model to the world.
Discussions of Israel's military trade usually focus on the flow of weapons into the country - US-made Caterpillar bulldozers used to destroy homes in the West Bank, and British companies supplying parts for F-16s. Overlooked is Israel's huge and expanding export business. Israel now sends $1.2bn in "defence" products to the United States - up dramatically from $270m in 1999. In 2006, Israel exported $3.4bn in defence products - well over a billion more than it received in American military aid. That makes Israel the fourth largest arms dealer in the world, overtaking Britain.
Much of this growth has been in the so-called homeland security sector. Before 9/11 homeland security barely existed as an industry. By the end of this year, Israeli exports in the sector will reach $1.2bn, an increase of 20%. The key products and services are hi-tech fences, unmanned drones, biometric IDs, video and audio surveillance gear, air passenger profiling and prisoner interrogation systems - precisely the tools and technologies Israel has used to lock in the occupied territories.
And that is why the chaos in Gaza and the rest of the region doesn't threaten the bottom line in Tel Aviv, and may actually boost it. Israel has learned to turn endless war into a brand asset, pitching its uprooting, occupation and containment of the Palestinian people as a half-century head start in the "global war on terror".

Ahead of confirmation battle, Hagel begins rounding up support
Obama's choice for secretary of defense reaches out to senators to answer questions over Israel and Iran
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans' reservations about one of their own heading the Pentagon are caught up in potent politics, from a proxy fight over President Barack Obama to more parochial concerns about nuclear weapons facilities.
Former Senator Chuck Hagel, Obama's choice to be his new defense secretary, has reached out to all 100 senators and will be meeting personally with dozens of them starting this week, according to an official working on his confirmation.
The sessions — and, more importantly, what Hagel says — will be vital for a nomination that faces outright opposition from a handful of Republicans, including the second-ranking Republican, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas; nervous questions from influential Democrats such as New York Sen. Chuck Schumer; and plenty of non-committal senators.
Hagel's very public confirmation hearing before the Armed Services Committee will probably occur within weeks.
The official was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The nominee enters the make-or-break period with critical support — former Secretary of State Colin Powell called Hagel "superbly qualified," and Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., and Intelligence panel chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., have praised Hagel's extensive knowledge of national security issues.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., a senior member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said late Monday that she would support Hagel's nomination. She said he provided answers to a range of questions and promised to support Obama's policies "without reservation."
The former Nebraska GOP senator has been dogged by questions of whether he's soft on Iran, weak in his backing for Israel and opposed to gay rights.
"A lot of charges rise up and fall when the facts are presented," Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., a friend of Hagel's, said in an interview Monday. "That's the same thing that's going to happen here. These claims — suddenly claims are debunked — and we get on to substance."
Backers of Hagel's nomination counter criticism by pointing to his votes for some $40 billion in military and security aid for Israel during his 12 years in the Senate and his support for all options, including military action, to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. They argue that his position on gay rights has evolved.
Despite the support, Hagel — a Republican tapped by a Democratic president — has few advocates in either party in the Senate and a limited number of opportunities to make inroads with the GOP.
A potential vote is Sen. Bob Corker, top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, who served two years with Hagel and has spoken highly of him. But the Tennessee lawmaker has real reservations about Hagel's views on nuclear weapons, which could affect more than 5,000 jobs at the Y-12 National Security Complex near Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Any cuts in the nation's nuclear arsenal would affect work at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant, which makes uranium parts for every warhead and is the primary storehouse for bomb-grade uranium. The facility also dismantles old weapons.
Corker was one of the few Republican votes in December 2010 for a new US-Russia treaty on reducing the number of nuclear weapons and establishing a verification process.
"A lot of modernization was supposed to take place as a result of that on our nuclear arsenal. That's not happening at the pace that it should. The Pentagon is going to have a big effect on that, and for me, that is going to be a very big issue," the senator said Sunday in an interview on ABC's "This Week."
Corker also raised questions about Hagel's "overall temperament" for the job, citing unidentified former staffers. Questions to Corker's office Monday about the staffers went unanswered.
In May, Hagel was one of the authors of a report that called for an 80 percent reduction of US nuclear weapons and elimination of all nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles, a step that would have a clear impact on Corker's home state.
The study for the advocacy group Global Zero argued that the United States needed no more than 900 total nuclear weapons for its security in a post-Cold War era. The US and Russia have an estimated 5,000 nuclear weapons each, either deployed or in reserve. The two countries are already on track to reduce to 1,550 deployed strategic warheads by 2018, as required by the New START treaty.
The Obama administration reportedly is considering various options for lower total numbers of deployed strategic nuclear weapons. The report calls for such weapons to be reduced to about 450, while maintaining an equal number of stored weapons.
"There is no conceivable situation in the contemporary world in which it would be in either country's national security interest to initiate a nuclear attack against the other side," the report said.
Joining Hagel on the report was retired Gen. James Cartwright, the former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; former ambassadors Richard Burt and Thomas Pickering; and retired Gen. Jack Sheehan.
Backers of Hagel's nomination insist that he supports a strong and ready nuclear arsenal.
Even though the 2014 midterm elections are months away, some Senate Republicans are nervously watching for tea party challenges and determined to avoid them at all costs. Opposition to any Obama nominee will be a requirement for conservative voters. Republicans looking to head off any threat from the far right are Georgia's Saxby Chambliss, South Carolina's Lindsey Graham and Texas' Cornyn.
Democrats hold a 55-45 advantage in the Senate, and the party has the numbers to confirm Hagel if the vote is a simple majority. A possible Republican filibuster and a threshold of 60 votes would add even more rancor to the current fight between Democrats and Republicans over Senate rules just as the leaders are trying to negotiate a compromise.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will have plenty of sway with some of his colleagues even though Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., has replaced McCain as the top Republican on Armed Services due to GOP term limits. McCain and Hagel once worked closely together, but differences over the Iraq war and the 2008 presidential election have pushed the two apart.
McCain, who has talked about presidents having the chance to choose their Cabinet, has said he has significant questions about Hagel's nomination.
Said Democrat Reed of the fierce Senate process, "Unfortunately everything is getting to be like a Supreme Court pick."

A Brunswick County factory will start eliminating jobs over the course of the next year
A Brunswick County factory will start eliminating jobs over the course of the next year and move some its operations south of the border.
A spokesman for Victaulic said the company will cut 90 positions over the next seven months to a year at its plant in the Leland Industrial Park.
The company continually reviews its operations to ensure it is able to serve customers' needs completely and cost effectively, said Eric Luftig, Victaulic vice president for marketing and communications.
The piping company said cuts will be made to the rubber molding and press fit areas of its plant off US 74-76. Those operations will be moved to Mexico.
"We are offering a very generous financial and benefits package for all employees impacted by this move," Luftig said in a statement. "We are also working closely with the N.C. Division of Employment Security to make sure outplacement services will be provided for those impacted by this change."
Luftig said all other operations at the Leland plant will continue. The company, according to its website, is "the world leader in mechanical pipe joining systems."
The company is hiring 59 people nationwide with most of the jobs being sales positions. None of those jobs are located at the Leland site, according to the company's online job search engine.
Last October, business students from University of North Carolina Wilmington competed in a company-sponsored sales competition. Twenty-one students took part in the event during which they had 10 minutes to sell Victaulic products to a potential "customer."
Brunswick County and Leland officials reached late Monday afternoon said they hadn't heard about the impending job losses.
Staff writer Caitlin Dineen contributed to this story.

WASHINGTON, June 4 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Monday that Indianapolis had not violated the Constitution in the way it financed sewer projects.
The ruling is bad news for property owners who paid full price for sewer hookups while others escaped with partial payment.
Indianapolis for decades has funded sewer projects using the state's 1889 Barrett law, which allowed cities to apportion costs equally among all abutting lots. On a project's completion, the city would issue a final lot-by-lot assessment. Lot owners could choose to pay the assessment in a lump sum or over time in installments.
After the city completed the Brisbane/Manning Sanitary Sewers Project, it sent affected homeowners formal notice of their payment obligations. Of the 180 affected homeowners, 38 chose to pay the lump sum while the rest chose longer-term installments.
But the next year, the city abandoned the Barrett law and adopted the Septic Tank Elimination Program, which financed projects in part through bonds. In implementing STEP, the city's Board of Public Works enacted a resolution forgiving all assessment amounts still owed under Barrett law financing.
Homeowners who had paid the Brisbane/Manning lump sum received no refund and homeowners who had chosen to pay in installments were under no obligation to make further payments.
When the city refused to refund any money to the 38 homeowners, 31 filed suit in state court.
A judge ruled summarily for the landowners and a state appeals court agreed. But the Indiana Supreme Court reversed, saying the city's actions were rationally related to its legitimate interests in reducing administrative costs, providing hardship relief to homeowners, transitioning from the Barrett to STEP and preserving its limited resources.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in an opinion written by Justice Stephen Breyer, agreed, saying "the city has not violated the [Constitution's] Equal Protection Clause."

Companies are responsible for collecting information on the properties and uses of the substances they manufacture or import above one tonne a year. They also have to assess the hazards and potential risks presented by the substance.
This information is communicated to ECHA through a registration dossier containing the hazard information and, where relevant, an assessment of the risks that the use of the substance may pose and how these risks should be controlled.
Registration applies to substances on their own, substances in mixtures and certain cases of substances in articles. Chemical substances that are already regulated by other legislations such as medicines, or radioactive substances are partially or completely exempted from REACH requirements.
Registration is based on the "one substance, one registration" principle. This means that manufacturers and importers of the same substance have to submit their registration jointly. The analytical and spectral information provided should be consistent and sufficient to confirm the substance identity.
For substance registration a fee is usually charged.

This Thursday, September 18, near Newcastle, England, Baltic, the Centre for Contemporary Art, will host a seminar on data-based art. The first talk of the day will feature independent curator and event chair Sarah Cook introducing how visual artists use technologies to respond and deal with environments of information overload. Over the next few hours, attendees will dive into the following -- UCSD Professor Lev Manovich querying the database as a form; Mongrel-member Graham Harwood on how to share data to make it socially relevant, and German cyberfeminist artist Cornelia Sollfrank downloading on her persistent use of random-generators in her art practice. Other participants and three free performances (two sound, one cinematic) round out what should be a full day. Reserve your place online. -- Rachel Greene

The people who made games Too Human and Eternal Darkness are now making an X-Men adventure for Activision, a game that lets players mold their own mutant. This is what that game, X-Men Destiny, is looking like right now.
First screen shots of Silicon Knights' X-Men game made their way online, via a YouTube video uploaded by SuperOrobi. They show a few familiar X-faces, like Gambit and Quicksilver, fighting alongside a tribally tattooed man against giant robots. Perhaps if you liked Too Human, you're getting good vibes from X-Men Destiny.
To date, we've seen mostly teases of X-Men Destiny's promise in trailer form and in game descriptions. The game is planned to ship to consoles this fall.

The abdomen and chest are separated by a sheetlike muscle called the
diaphragm. The
esophagus passes through an opening (the hiatus) in
the diaphragm to connect to the stomach. A hiatal hernia occurs when part of
the stomach bulges out of the abdomen, through the hiatus, and into the chest.
When this happens, the
lower esophageal sphincter (LES) may move above the
Normally, pressure from the diaphragm muscle helps keep the LES valve
closed. When a hiatal hernia occurs, the valve is pushed above the diaphragm so
the diaphragm muscle can no longer help keep the valve closed. If the valve
cannot prevent
stomach acid and juices from backing up into the
esophagus, symptoms of
heartburn may occur.
A hiatal hernia is often associated with
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The most
noticeable symptom of GERD is heartburn.
A person may have a hiatal hernia or GERD or both. A person with a
hiatal hernia may not always have GERD. And many people with GERD do not have a
hiatal hernia.

John refereed five world finals at the Crucible. He took charge of Cliff Thorburn's 1980 triumph, Joe Johnson's surprise win in 1986, Steve Davis's 18-3 drubbing of John Parrott in 1989, Stephen Hendry's great comeback against Jimmy White in 1992 and Hendry's fifth capture of the crown in 1995.
In addition, he was one of the leading officials at the Wembley Masters. His last match came at the 1997 final where Davis recovered from 8-4 down to beat Ronnie O'Sullivan 10-8, a contest famously interrupted by a female streaker.
John reffed White's 1992 Crucible maximum and at one stage told an over-excited spectator to 'shut up' so as not to put Jimmy off.
Everyone respected him. He was one of snooker's top officials and a famous face himself in the game's boom years.
In recent times he wrote an authoritative guide to the rules with Peter Rook and a column in Pot Black and later Cuesport magazine.
In the last year he was able to walk only with the aid of sticks. He was admitted to hospital before Christmas.
He died three days after his 77th birthday.
John leaves a wife, Jean, and two children.

RIP John
In a time now where referees are part of snookers focal point and the cameras centred on them much more often than before i look back and remember how you stood out "back in the day" by being professional and among the best referees to ever officiate professional snooker.
Thoughts with your family.
- 8:56 am
Sad news indeed. I spent a long time in the company of John during my the summer of '95 and '96 when the qualifiers were being staged at Blackpool. Long days and nights, but occasionally we did get time off for good behaviour and let our hair down in the seaside resort.
On one evening a bunch of us hit the 'heights' after an early finish and indulged in what would be called 'lightweight binge drinking'. In the company was then assistant tournament director Gordon Regan and referee Paul Harrison, who began having a conversation to the lyrics of Blur's 'Country House.'
Regan: He lives in a house
Harrison: A very big house
Regan: In the country
Harrison: Watching afternoon repeats
Regan: And the food he eats
Harrison: In the country
Regan: He takes all manner of pills
Harrison: And piles up analyst bills
Regan: In the country
Harrison: Oh, it's like an animal farm
Regan: That's the rural charm
Harrison: In the country
'Streety' - not a great fan of Brtipop - was between them, his head going in one direction, then the other, like someone watching a tennis match, completely at a loss about who they were 'talking' about, but desperate to join in. When Streety did get a word in, it was only 'who?' and they kicked off again.
Regan: He lives in a house
Harrison: A very big house
Regan: In the country
Harrison: He's got a fog in his chest
Regan: So he needs a lot of rest
Harrison: In the country
Regan: He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh
Harrison: Takes herbal baths ...
... at which point John, who was probably dizzy by now and completely frustrated, just exploded, slammed his drink down and screamed "Herbal bloody baths! Who the f*** are 'we' talking about – do I know him?"
Needless to say Gordon, Paul, Mike Ganley and me had to be picked off the floor laughing – which only brought more abuse from Streety because we were laughing at his expense.
John was a referee who concentrated on doing his job, which meant you seldom heard or saw him, and certainly didn't go to watch him.
Happy days, sad news.
- 12:18 pm
One of the most recognizable voices and certainly faces back in the 80s for me.
He will be sorely missed by everyone who loves and cares about snooker. My thoughts are with you and your family.
May you rest in peace.
- 10:03 am
This is very sad news regarding John Street.
I'm a qualified snooker referee and when I started my officiating I spent several sessions with John Street across various pro-ams across the South West and he always had great words of encouragement for the younger referees. He supported them wherever possible and gave up his time to advise and coach accordingly.
My great memory though, you have already mentioned, was requesting an excited supporter to 'shut up!' when Jimmy White was in the latter stages of completing his 147 break in the 1992 Embassy World Championship.
Rest in peace John, you will be missed by everyone in the world of snooker from players to referee's to supporters alike.

Tara - I don't think it is too uncommon for babies to get fussy about eating. My pediatrician said that at this age babies should still be getting most of their protein and other nutrients from formula so I don't think you should worry about her losing weight. It could be that she's teething and that sucking on the bottle is more comfortable for her. Sean is also in a phase where often times when I first try to feed him he gets WICKED pissed off for the first couple of minutes and absolutely refuses to even contemplate eating. He clamps his mouth shut and makes this angry "MMMEHHHHHH" sound until his whole head turns red, shaking his head back and forth and flailing his hands around to avoid the spoon, and throwing himself around in the high chair. I will have to hold his hands down and act quickly to cram that first bite into his mouth once he opens it up to wail at how cruel I am being to him. Very messy. He gulps it down, then you see this look come over his face like, "Oh, hey, yeah... Food. I LIKE food!" at which point he will wolf down an enormous bowl of cereal, a container of fruit, and a baby yogurt. Seems like this happens most often when he gets too hungry, which makes sense since I get cranky then too. He's probably also testing me - if so he's finding out that Mama doesn't take a lot of guff!! (And seriously, he does pull that crap more often with my husband - he's not stupid!) So I try to give him at least a snack every 2 hours. I also find it helps to give him sips of something to drink every few bites - the same way we would eat and drink during a meal - instead of just one or the other at a time.
I would say keep giving her plenty of formula but continue trying to feed her solids at every meal. As long as she's getting plenty of formula she should get enough nutrients. You can also get nipples for the bottle that allow larger foods to pass through so you could add some cereal or fruit to the formula to augment it nutritionally. I'm sure this is just a phase and if you keep trying with the solids she will start up eating them again.

Ginnifer Goodwin said it's not unhealthy that she's been on Weight Watchers since she was nine-years-old.
The "Big Love" actress was taken aback by the uproar when she revealed she's been on the program since she was in grade school.
"I was so shocked when it was this whole, 'Ginny's been on a diet since she was nine years old!' I was like 'No!' I've never had body issues, I've never had an eating disorder," she told People. "I've never had to go on a diet and that's because of Weight Watchers."
Goodwin, 32, says she weighed just ten pounds less than she does today when she started Weight Watchers.
With the help of the program, which she says is not a "diet," Goodwin has been able to stay svelte.
"With the counseling of my family doctor, my mother ended up turning to Weight Watchers and their children's program. I went to weekly meetings, got counseling and would exercise with my peers who were my size," the actress told People.
The "Walk the Line" star says she no longer attends meetings but does interact with the group online.
As a child, Goodwin had to learn that a proper portion was one burger, not two. The actress says Weight Watchers helped her lose weight slowly and keep it off.
While she has sympathy for others in the movie business who are trying to shed the pounds, she frowns upon what she calls the "Cocaine and Cigarettes diet in Hollywood."
"There's being healthfully skinny and then there's starting to look like a scary alien cat," she said.

" One of the best dealership in America ask for bill hamad trust him he will always come thru with the deal you will love and the whole experience at the dealership was something that I never expected every single salesperson is so humble and reassuring.

If you looking to get a new Toyota please do give them a chance to get your business and I promise you will have a best experience and ask for bill hamad he is the reason I drove from NY to PA to get my new Toyota and it is worth every single mile . "
" I just purchased a new Tacoma from Team Toyota Langhorne. Having been to a variety of other dealerships I was worn out from the same song and dance. I walked into the dealership and was lucky enough to get Ozzy Hamad. He walked me through all of my options and was able to get the vehicle I wanted in my price range. No back and forth between management about haggling pricing. He asked what my budget was and got it much lower than what I was expecting. Highly recommend this dealership especially if you have the opportunity to work with Ozzy! "
" Derek was helpful and knowledgeable. He was also patient and answered question very quickly! Highly recommend him! "
TEAM Toyota online
" We needed a good reliable used car. TEAM had many to choose from and we shopped online. By the time we got to the showroom, we had made our choice. I particularly liked the fact that what I chose online was indeed the car you had for sale. "
" Chris Our salesman was very knowledgeable and helpful. And no high pressure! "
" I had a wonderful experience at Team Toyota of Langhorne, trading in my 2011 Rav4 for a 2017 Rav4. My sales consultant was Rich Magaziner and he made the experience so much easier. He allowed my husband and I to look at vehicles at our own pace, but was readily available and eager to answer any questions we had. He was very patient and friendly as well as very knowledgeable of their vehicles. I don't have a single complaint. I will definitely be back when it comes time to upgrade again, and would recommend Team Toyota of Langhorne to anyone I know. "
" Dealer was responsive "
" Fantastic experience with Rich Magaziner! "
" Couldn't have had a better experience buying/leasing my first brand new car! Kevin VanVorst jr easiest sales person I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Told him my budget and he showed me what I could afford. Even the finance manager, Charles Morgan, explained things to me in a way that helped this exciting experience not seem to over whelming. These two guys make a great team! I'm very thankful😊 "
Experience leasing 2019Toyota Camry
" Sales person was very thorough in his presentation. Took me for a demonstration drive,explained all the visible dash board items and took me to the Toyota service area to show me behind the operations. I was impressed. "
Great crossover! Great sales experience! Super Salesperson
" First and foremost the product knowledge and genuine attitude of making sure the customer is taken care of and that our interactions matter. I worked with Jeff Madison on the sales end... he sure knows his product and is super helpful in understanding and explaining all the features of my new Toyota RAV4 hybrid. He basically searched the country to find the vehicle I wanted with all the features. He then spent a lot of time instructing me so that I could enjoy all their functions. Friendly and patient. MaryBeth my finance person could be my new best friend. Personal warm and genuinely concerned that all of my finance questions and options were spelled out. I actually was really happy to say yes when some of the options were presented, since they were so well presented. Team Toyota of Langhorne also has a beautiful service Dept. It's very peaceful and comfortable I would definitely buy form Team Toyota and Jeff Madison Any day! "
" Matt was super friendly and knowledgeable about the product (2019 RAV4 Hybrid). He was also super responsive with phone calls and text messages. I like the fact that he is not pushy like a typical car salesman. We also came in pretty late during the week and he stayed way past closing time to finalize the deal and to have our car prepared for delivery. Thanks again Matt! "
" I recently purchased a 2020 Avalon Hybrid Limited from Dan Formagiu. Dan made the process simple as can be. I am in absolute love with this car coming from a Camry Hybrid it is a big upgrade! I came to the right place and right time to work with the best salesman that feels more like a friend over any other salesman I've ever spoken to. His follow up is fantastic and makes sure any questions are answered pretty quickly! I didn't even have a gmail till I met him but I had to make one to write a review to get this man some extra customers for the rough winter ahead! If you come to TEAM ask for Dan Formagiu. Thank me later. "
" From Jason Wolford's first greeting as we walked into the Team Toyota Showroom until our happy departure in our new Highlander, our new car buying experience was extremely positive. We were impressed with Jason's attention to detail, knowledge of his product, and customer service acumen. I highly recommend Team Toyota . "
" Bought the car - great experience with the dealership and the salesman Kevin. "
" My salesman, Jordan helped me into a new camry, it was fast easy and experience, he stayed late to help me get everything done! I came in the following Saturday to sign and was out very fast! They even let me take the new car over night to make sure i loved it!! After leaving to other dealer prior, it was an amazing difference in professionalism and convenience!! Hands down would recommend team toyota again!!! "
Great dealership and sales people
" Knowledgeable salesperson Explained car, set up 1st service appt, introduced me to service manager, easy purchase process. Liked the flash drive with all the documents "
" Today I had the wonderful experience of going with my mom to purchase a new car. The service was outstanding and the overall experience was a breeze. Matt MacDonald was the salesman who greeted us when we first got out of the car and took care of us all the way until the end. He helped my mom find the car that would be the perfect fit for her and her needs along with breaking everything down everything she needed to know about the car. At no point in the experience did we feel like we were being pressured into buying a vehicle that we did not want. Matt made the whole process of buying a new vehicle easier than I ever thought it would be! When it's my turn to get a new car I know where I will be going! Thank you, Matt! "
Best dealer!!!
" I have bought my last few vehicles at Team Toyota and the experience is always a pleasure. Everyone is so helpful, knowledgeable, and I never feel pressured to make a deduction. "
" We bought a Pre-owned RAV4 form Team Langhorne. Pre-owned Dept is great. We had Derek Stewart as our Sales Consultant. He is excellent. He took time to explain each and every options of the car, and was very helpful. I highly recommend buying a car from Team Toyota with Derek Stewart as your salesman! "
Team Players
" Friendly, nice, professional sales people. Jason Woldorf and Herb Newborg. "
" This is a good place to buy a car. Matt McDonald is a great salesman and I would recommend him to anybody. "
" I was warmly greeted by the sales manager, Jeff Garfinkel, and had the pleasure of working with my salesman, Dan Formaglu. Dan was friendly, sincere, kind, and listened well. He was a great combination of serious and fun. Dan answered my multitude of questions with patience, clarity and honesty. (Even after the purchase, I could come back in my new car and ask another multitude of questions to help me take advantage of the various choices on the dashboard, screen and steering wheel. Again, he was patient and glad to help.) Dan explained the warrantees he was to offer me thoroughly and was helpful in the car price considerations. Also, he was willing to stay after his normal hours until Charles Morgan was finished with all the financial decisions and signatures, in order to help me to get home! Charles, the financial counterpart, was a delight to work with - polite, kind and explained everything well, willing to repeat anything I didn't fully grasp at first. Even though it was late (around 2 hours of going through it all), he remained attentive and was friendly and professional. I feel that the team at Team Toyota served me well. "
" Good deal and good salesmen! Very satisfied with my new car and experience "
" Matthew McDonald might be a local car salesman celebrity at this point. I hear about SO many people he has gone above and beyond for to meet their needs from start to finish. He has always answered any questions I have about buying my next car. I recommend going straight to him, he is so warm and easy going! He will instantly make you feel comfortable and want to know about your life and car buying needs. He truly is a genuine guy, friend and car salesman "
" I had a great pleasure to work with Mark Elton. He is really helpful you can't even imagine. I went on Monday for a trial drive. He is off on Wednesday but when I called him in the afternoon he came to meet me after his Doctor appointment at 5 PM. He is very professional and the whole process was very smooth. I recommend him without any reservation. Good job Mark, Thank You! "
" Very exciting buying a new car after 16 years!! My salesmen, Matt MacDonald , was very informative and helpful with the whole process. Real pleasant young man. Will look to him in the future and pass to family and friends. Thank you Matt🌈 "
" Matt MacDonald is absolutely the best sales consultant! Not only does he know what he's talking about, but he takes all the time needed to hear what YOU are talking about. He listens to everything you want and need and does everything he can to make it happen. He is respectful, honest, kind, and fun to work with. Definitely recommend stopping by to see what he can do for you! "
" Had a great buying experience with salesman Christian Colón. Went on a nice test drive of the car I was interested in and he was knowledgeable and informative. He was also really personable and never tried to rush me into any decisions. He worked with me to get to a fair price I was happy with. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I'm glad I chose this dealership. "
" (Translated by Google) A satisfactory experience my first purchase to finance and qualified my service as extraordinary Christian Colón was my salesman a person with a lot of experience but above all honestly made me feel relaxed and showed interest in what I thought best or out of my convenience. 100% recommended First time buying a car with a loan they make a great experience working together and getting good rates for me my salesman Christian Colón was very professional helping me to find a perfect match for my taste 100% recommended great service (Original) Una experiencia satisfactoria mi primer compra a financiamiento y calificó mi servicio como extraordinario Christian Colón fue mi vendedor una persona con mucha experiencia pero sobre todo honesta me hizo sentir relajado y mostró interés en lo que a mi mejor me pareciera u fuera de mi conveniencia. 100% recomendado First time buying a car with a loan they make a great experience working together and getting good rates for me my salesman Christian Colón was very professional helping me to find a perfect match for my taste 100% recommended great service "
" Matt Macdonald, time and time again, has been ble to answer any of my car buying questions with ease and has helped me in purchasing my new car. If anyone is looking for a great car buying experience then look no further than this man! "
" Buying an automobile is one of the worst experiences people complain about, but ultimately enjoy driving a vehicle off the lot, parting with a smile as they drive away with the smell of "new car" in the air. However, buying a car is time consuming, aggravating and annoying to say the least. I am BEYOND THRILLED with an experience I went through today with my friends at Team Toyota (where I purchased my last two cars). I made an appointment in advance with Dan Formagiu, new car sales executive. I got his name by reading other customer service results and picked him based on his COUNTLESS positive customer service reviews, so I called "new sales" and arranged an appointment with Mr Formagiu. Dan was waiting for me at the Team Toyota entrance to greet me and open the front doors because he was aware I was disabled and would have difficulty opening their heavy front doors. My wife told Dan exactly what she wanted in her new RAV4. Dan tentatively listened, jotted some notes, researched inventory then drove out a car...not just any car but a taylor made RAV4 that had all the bells and whistles my wife desired at a DRAMATICALLY lower price than all the comparable RAV4s we researched within a 50 radius of our home. Dan was outstanding... for several reasons: 1) Dan LISTENED to us 2) Dan did not try to up sell us into a car out of our price comfort zone 3) Dan NEVER pressured us - AT ALL!!! 4) Dan treated us with dignity and respect 5) Dan taught us how to use every feature on the car 6) Dan quoted us their BEST price up front so as not to waste our time. When we were done listening to Dan we asked if we could drive the car home and closed on a gorgeous new car. Thank you Team Toyota but special thanks to Dan Formagiu - for making 10/26/2019 a special family day instead of another dreadful "car buying" debacle! "
" My salesman, Dan Formagiu, was excellent. He gave it his all to get me a car i am thrilled to have at the best possible price. He was very personable, polite, patient in expaining everything, accomodating, knowledgeable, and had a very professional demeanor. I am sure that if you contact Dan, he will be able to assist you in this important purchase. I will definitely be having him help me with my future car purchases. Lauren, in the Finance Department, also, was excellent. She took her time in her explanations and welcomed the questions i had. She was very professional while at the same time personable. The positive manner in which she handled this aspect of the car buying process was very appreciated. I highly recommend both of these individuals, as well as, Team Toyota itself. "
" I contacted dealership. I received information regarding vehicle. Salesperson was informative. His name was Scott. Vehicle sold quickly. "
" Personally know this guy. I don't know much about cars but his character is infectious. "
Best Place to buy a car.
" Mr Anthony Hinds was really good. He was the best car dealer I have ever met. He was kind and he explained each and every detail about the car to the last point. Although he wasnt working late on a friday, he stayed back just because i badly needed a car and couldnt come in any early. I would definitely recommend this dealership to everyone. "
" Matt Mcdonald is very helpful and knowledgeable about Toyota. He made the process for me buying my 2019 Toyota RAV4 xle. Very easy and convenient for me . I would recommend working with him to anyone he has helped me before in the past and is my go to guy. "
Great first time buying a car.
" The sales reps were great. Very patient. Great experience. "
Wonderful place with quality cars and service!
" Unfortunately my husband passed away from brain cancer in January of this year. He was receiving social security disability which I could no longer receive upon his death. My salesman worked very hard to get me a loan with affordable payments. I don't know what I would have done otherwise. My husband, and I are a Toyota famiy! My daughter is now driving a Toyota too! "
" I just purchased the 2019 RAV4 XSE Hybrid. It was a very nice experience dealing with TeamToyota. My sales consultant was Ozzy and he was great and very patient, it took me 3 trips there to finally seal the deal, and Ozzy made sure I left there a happy customer. . When it came time to sit down with the finance department it couldn't of went any smoother, very organized. If you're looking to buy a Toyota this is definitely the place to go. "

hen Daniel Chester French spoke of his summer studio and home in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, he declared, "I spend six months of the year...in heaven."¹ The setting was perfect for an artist. Through the open door of the studio, French could look out to carefully tended lilies, marigolds, hollyhocks, and zinnias lining a long walk leading north to the woods. Beyond them, French could admire a panoramic view of the rolling Berkshire hills.
Inspiration was replaced with dusty practicality inside the studio. This workspace was designed specifically for creating monumental public sculpture. French spent 34 summers at Chesterwood, working daily in this studio on such important works as the Abraham Lincoln that forms the centerpiece of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The property, operated as a historic house museum by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, has changed little since French's death in 1931. Modern visitors still comment on the contrast between the elaborate summer "cottage" and carefully landscaped grounds, and the functional studio of a hard-working man whose business was sculpture.
¹ "Daniel French, U.S. Sculpture Dean, 80 Today" New York Herald Tribune, April 20, 1930; cited in Michael Richman, Daniel Chester French, An American Sculptor (Washington, D.C.: The Preservation Press, 1976), 199.

For travelers, it's a no-quester
More than a month after Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood warned of "calamity" in the skies, travelers are still flying. Airlines aren't yet canceling flights. And there's no sign of the long lines the Obama administration warned everyone to expect when automatic spending cuts hit March 1.
What happened? The much-feared budget ax is turning out to be a slow-rolling series of snips, with effects that have been much more gradual or modest than projected.
Story Continued Below
Airlines have yet to suspend or cancel flights in response to the cuts, even though LaHood predicted during a White House appearance Feb. 22 that they would do so "within the next 30 days."
( Also on POLITICO: Sequester: Democratic theory of the case)
Meanwhile, far fewer airport control towers are facing potential closures than the 238 that the Federal Aviation Administration warned about in February. Only 24 towers — in places like Olathe, Kan., and Gig Harbor, Wash. — are in the first batch set to lose all their FAA funding on April 7. Dozens more will follow through early May, but local or state funding will keep some of those towers operating indefinitely.
The alarms about air travel are a prime example of how the White House "badly miscalculated" its rollout of the sequester, House Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Frank LoBiondo (R-N.J.) said.
He reserved particular ire for suggestions that the administration instructed agencies not to prepare until almost the bitter end, then pulled out a megaphone to broadcast impending doom.
( Also on POLITICO: Sequester: Republican theory of the case)
"In the case of the FAA, it was the same thing — don't prepare, don't prepare, don't prepare, and then a week or two weeks out, full campaign mode," LoBiondo said. "People can come to their own conclusion, but I'm not sure [President Barack Obama] wants a solution on this, the way he's been handling it."
House Transportation Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) issued his own verdict within two weeks of the sequester taking effect March 1: "The sky isn't falling."
Soon after making its initial warnings, the administration began cautioning that travelers won't start feeling the brunt of the sequester until sometime in April, when throttled-back overtime, rolling furloughs and hiring freezes will sink in at the FAA and the agencies that run airport security and customs checkpoints.
( PHOTOS: How sequestration could affect you)
The air-traffic controllers union continues to warn that travelers will feel the pain as the cuts cascade.
"There are very real and very negative impacts to sequestration," said Doug Church, a spokesman for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, pointing to data the union has compiled looking at impacts to major airports. "There will be a degradation of capacity and efficiency at a time when we should be focused on increasing both."
But even if that comes to pass, the long lag between the warnings and the reality has fueled complaints from both Democrats and Republicans that Obama's team was crying wolf.
LaHood's rare February appearance in the White House press room was a key part of the sequester strategy for the administration, which wanted Congress to replace some of the budget cuts with tax increases on the wealthy.
His words hit an immediate nerve with local and regional media outlets as he warned that airport control towers were on the chopping block — "We're talking about places like Boca Raton, Fla.; Joplin, Mo.; Hilton Head, S.C.; and San Marcos, Texas."
