Ok, so I had planned a nice motivational blog post for today featuring a video clip that Anders, a member of our Kettleheads GS Team, had put together with footage from the recent Kettlebell competition.
The progress bar has sat at "1 minute remaining" for close to 30 minutes, so I'm going to make you wait for that post until Friday.
Actually, a motivational post on a Friday may not be worthwhile….
So on Monday, when you need it the most, I'll give you an upbeat post featuring the guys lifting kettles to upbeat music…
Until then, here's some blatant self promotion.
There are two workshops on the immediate horizon:
Self Defence Training Weekend
Sunday 5th May: Basic Self Defence Skills
– Environmental Awareness
– Situational Awareness
– Avoid/Evade/Confront Continuum
– Fundamental Body Mechanics for Power Genration
– The Three Fundamental Arm/Hand Strikes
– Wedge Defence
Monday 6th May: Rapid Response Knife Defence
– Flinch Response
– Blocking, Parrying, Passing &Trapping Skills
– "Safe" position
– Counter Offensive techniques from safe position
– Simultaneous Cover & Counter
Both days run from 10am to 4pm and will cost €50 for the day or €70 if you do both.
The workshops are designed to give you the tools to arm yourself, you won't leave the workshop being able to take on all comers, but you will have the knowledge to continue training and increasing your chances of walking away from a violent situation or better yet, avoiding it altogether.
These are not "martial arts" workshops, these are no fluff, practical skills that don't require 10 years and a black belt to pull off.
If you're up for it, there are a few places remaining for each day, drop me a line to book your place.
Monday 3rd June : Kettlebell / Bodyweight Training Workshop
My friend Kieran Dolan down at Dolan Fitness in Tullamore has invited me back to teach at his gym.
This time around we'll be looking at developing athleticism and conditioning using bodyweight and kettlebell lifts.
We will look at:
- Fundamental movement patterns
- Training movements instead of muscles
- Developing a powerful core
- Developing Strength Endurance
- Reducing Recovery Time
- Mobility and Agility
- More if we have time…
The workshop will be open to all. While the emphasis will be on athleticism, everyone involved in fitness and training will benefit.
Cost for the day will be €50 per person.
Contact myself of Kieran for booking details and further information.

Something sassy, something fresh. New for the court.
With the US Open over and done it's time to turn to some of the smaller but very competitive tennis fashion houses out there.
Still crankin' it out LA style is Fetch. New for them are some pro contracts. Among them is one with Scarlett Werner of Germany, pictured left (currently WTA # 318 in the world) who has just signed with the brand.
Despite the marketing powers and stars touting tennis' biggest brands, the growing presence of "alternative" tennis fashions is noticeable. A couple of options from Fetch:
Above, Werner wears Fetch's flowy Sassy Court skirt and Control Tank Top, $62 and $55 respectively. The blue carries over the shoulders down to the shoulder blades.
Right is the Duchess dress, $120, a close fitting, short little number with unique horizontal pleating in the skirt; nothing short of attitude for svelte tennis nobility. No doubt them Dukes will be lookin' twice. The tops have a racer back design and a built in moderate support bra. All performance.
Find a retailer or buy soon at Fetch.

Monday Morning Mirth
who loves ya, baby….
Scoop du Jour
Pattern: Chic Knits
Designer: Bonne Marie Burns
Yarn: Cestari Farms Worsted & UNK Barn Yarn
Color: Dk Sheep Grey (5 sk) & Evergreen (2 sk)
Gauge: 18sts/24rows over 4″
Needles: #8
My sister took this picture of me after we walked the dogs out in the country by her house. I've been wearing this all week hiking and hanging out.
I blocked the sweater twice. The first goround I washed all the pieces in hot soapy water before sewing it together to get the spinning oil and barn dirt out. Block #2 was after I seamed and banded it to get it to final shape. The yarn totally changed in character becoming soft and fluffy and very wearable!
Like a good pair of jeans, I have a sneaking suspicion it will get better and better with continued wear and washing.
My Mom, when she saw me in this sweater asked, "Where are your lederhosen?" WOOT!
…see all entries here in the Complete Notes: Barny Yarny
My Sock's a Tree Hugger and so am I…
Arlene came down to check on what I was doing. She saw me sitting high up in the air on the spare tire attached to my Jeep. I told her I was waiting for the sun to come back out so I could take a picture of the maple tree by the side of the road.
I think she thought me a bit odd and was too polite to mention it but agreed with me about how very beautiful the tree was. She laughed and said, "No, I haven't combed my hair today," when I asked if I could take her picture with the tree. I thought her white hair was as beautiful as her bright blue eyes. She went back up to the house when the sun went back behind a cloud. I'd thought the house was abandoned, with its missing windows and a truck half buried in the yard, but was happy to know someone was there as magnetized to orange and red as I.
I roamed some more and the more I roamed, the better it got…
I gorged myself on color until I was almost too dizzy to continue.
but I found just one more…

Israeli researchers work on antimissile missile in hopes of an air force order
Rafael, Israel's leading missile development center, continues to work quietly on an air-to-air derivative of the Stunner interceptor—to be designated Python 6, or the Future Advanced Air-to-Air Missile (FAAM). The Stunner is a surface-to-air weapon being developed in partnership with Raytheon for Israel's David's Sling air and missile defense system. The Python 6 has been chronicled for almost a decade.

Controlling lion's share of lionfish: study

Three Simon Fraser University researchers and a recent graduate have co-authored the first study to demonstrate that beating back the fearsome lionfish will rejuvenate threatened native fish in the Bahamas and elsewhere.
The journal Ecological Applications has just published the researchers' findings in a paper called Linking removal targets to the ecological effects of invaders: a predictive model and field test.
Stephanie Green, the lead author and an SFU doctoral biology graduate; SFU biologists Isabelle Côté (Green's thesis supervisor) and Nick Dulvy; Andrew Cooper; associate professor, SFU School of Resource and Environmental Management and Oregon State University scientists conducted the study.
The researchers based their conclusions on ecological computer modeling results and 18 months of field-testing. They found that reducing lionfish numbers at the sites they studied by 75 to 95 per cent precipitated a 50 to 70 per cent increase in native prey fish.
The researchers isolated a range of numbers that specified the tipping point of lionfish populations beyond which native prey fish populations will either decline or bounce back. The numerical range was discovered while analyzing lionfish and native prey fish population dynamics in 24 natural coral reefs near Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas. Divers used nets and spears to remove lionfish that invaded the shallow water-based reefs.
"Many researchers in the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and U.S. Atlantic coastal regions are removing lionfish, but there has been little research verifying whether control is effective at recovering and protecting native fish," notes Côté.
"Our study is the first to show that control can be effective and that native fish will return to reefs once lionfish are removed. We are also the first to provide a way to determine how much lionfish control is needed."
Green, who graduated from SFU last summer and is now a marine ecologist at Oregon State University's College of Science, adds their discovery is applicable to rehabilitating any threatened marine species.
"You don't need to completely eradicate an invasion in order to protect and recover native fish species," explains Green. "In invasions that are already spread over large areas, such as lionfish, local actions can effectively protect pockets of habitat where native species can thrive. This same approach could be used for other marine invasions, such as the European green crab off the west coast of coastal B.C."
Native to the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans, lionfish invade and devour native fish in a wide swath of oceans—the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, the American western Atlantic coast, north to Bermuda and the North Carolina coast and south to Venezuela.
Their consumption of highly prized, commercially fished and aesthetically idolized species, such as the Nassau grouper and Yellowtail snapper, is devastating multi-million dollar fishing and tourism industries.
Lionfish are extremely popular in U.S. aquarium trade. According to the researchers, they most likely got into the Atlantic through release from the aquarium trade into South Florida waters, starting in the 1980s.
With venomous spines and no natural predators in the Atlantic Ocean, this aggressive fish has been known to devour anything smaller than it, including fish, shrimp, crabs and octopus.
In another study the team showed that lionfish reduced native prey species by an average of 65 per cent—and on some sites up to 95 per cent—in just two years in the Bahamas.

Canada's Supreme Court will hear Windsor's appeal against Moroun By Stateside Staff • Oct 14, 2015 flickr user Alan Levine / http://michrad.io/1LXrdJM There has been plenty of legal wrangling over Ambassador Bridge owner Matty Moroun's desire to block the new Gordie Howe Bridge and build a second bridge right next to the Ambassador. Across the Detroit River, the city of Windsor has taken its complaint with Moroun all the way up to Canada's Supreme Court. Will anything be done about one of Matty Moroun's most corrupt deals? By Jack Lessenberry • Sep 28, 2015 Most people in Michigan know Matty Moroun as the famous and highly controversial owner of the Ambassador Bridge.

SMC SWIMMING: Gerbeth leads Belles to sixth place at DePauw Invitational
Bill Brink | Monday, December 4, 2006
Sophomore Melissa Gerbeth scored 48 of Saint Mary's 258 points en route to a sixth-place finish at the DePauw Invitational Friday and Saturday. Gerbeth won the 1,650-yard freestyle outright with a time of 11:04. She finished second in the 500 free in 5:22.69 and 8th in the 200 free, finishing in 2:05.70.Aside from winning the team points, Gerbeth's victory brought additional benefits to the program."It helped in terms of recruiting and team morale," Belles head coach Ryan Dombkowski said. "There were a couple recruits at this meet, and it's great for them to see Saint Mary's swimmers winning events and moving in the right direction. They see that it's possible to come to Saint Mary's and be a great student and a successful athlete."Saint Mary's had eight swimmers score points in the meet. Junior Kelly Tighe finished 11th in the 50 free with a time of 26.52 seconds and 15th in the 100 breaststroke, finishing in 1:18.14. "Tighe had a great meet. She moved down half a second in the 50 free," Dombkowski said. "It was an encouraging move. She was stuck in the low 27s the entire year, and moving up was exciting."Freshman Kayla Ferguson finished 12th in the 100 backstroke in 1:08.24. Freshman Lindsey Nelis finished 11th in the 200 freestyle in 2:05.10, and 11th again in the 500 free with a time of 5:34.51. She also swam the 100 free, finishing in 1:02.59 and placing 16th.Freshman Sara Niemann swam the 200 backstroke in 2:21.55 and finished in 5th place. She finished 12th in the 200 free with a time of 2:05.47 and 14th in the 500 free in 5:40.87.Some relative unknowns also performed well. Freshman Katie Carroll placed 10th in the 200 backstroke with a time of 2:44.59. Sophomore Shannon Hansen finished 16th in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:33.57. Freshman Jennifer Lebiedz swam the 200 butterfly in 2:35.67, good for 14th place.The relay teams also performed well, combining to score 128 points."Both our A and B relay teams swam well at the end of the meet," Dombkowski said. "They showed a lot of heart and determination at the end of two long days."The days were long indeed. The team left at 5 a.m. Friday and drove four hours to the meet, arriving in time for morning warm-ups. It was the first time the freshmen had swam a same-day prelim-final meet."It was rough," Dombkowski said. "The prelims were swum in the morning and the finals in the evening. It was an energetically taxing day on the entire team."Several other Belles, although not part of the scoring, posted new season bests. Tighe, Niemann, Carroll, Hanson, sophomore Jennifer Nicol, sophomore Leah Bocinksy and senior Sarah Budd all lowered their best times on the season.

Mr Putin, who is a black belt, said yesterday that he and Yasuhiro Yamashita, a world and Olympic judo champion from Japan, have made an instructional video together.
"He and I have recorded a video disc as a video supplement to a judo manual," Mr Putin said. It will be released early next year.
The pair, who met two years ago, previously visited a judo school in St Petersburg which Mr Putin attended while at college.

If you're a musician, then YouTube just got a lot cooler for you. The recently announced YouTube Merch Store will let you create your own digital "merch table" right on your YouTube channel. They're working with TopSpin for merchandise, concert tickets and experiences (no details on what shape "experiences" might be) and Songkick will kick in concert info, presumably meaning tour dates. There's room for future partners to be brought into the fold as well. The Merch Store has the painfully plain "Google look," something that will hopefully be upgraded over time with the ongoing Google redesign.
Check out more about steaming music sites in the Spacelab Streaming Music Guide.
Independent labels should dig the fact that Google is reaching out by creating a program to partner with them when their band's music is played on YouTube, including user generated content. Think of the royalties from all of the blog embeds of a YouTube video, and that could be a nice piece of change. There are plenty of details that should come around eventually, it's hard to imagine that this will be the sum total of the YouTube Merch Store.
The YouTube Merch Store is claiming to lean on both the Amazon MP3 Store and iTunes for selling downloads, but as this weekend's news predicts, a Google MP3 store might be just around the corner. If that's the case, we can expect that it will be integrated into the YouTube Merch Store as well. Apparently Google is in licensing talks with the major recording labels for a Google MP3 store to go along with their Google Music Beta.

Ipswich Vet Group, caring for local pets since 1967
Phone: (07) 3282 672212 South Station Road, Booval, QLD 4304
Cheryl, the Bilby, was presented by her keeper from Queens Park Nature Centre. She had a swelling on her face, under her right eye that had appeared suddenly. Cheryl was anaesthetized and examination of her mouth revealed the source of the swelling—an abscess on the root of one of her teeth, in fact she had already lost a couple of teeth and was showing some signs of dental decay in the others. The infected tooth and its root were removed, along with several others. Her remaining teeth were scaled and polished to remove the tartar build up.
Bilbys, along with most other small mammals, are at risk of developing hypothermia when under an anaesthetic, so special care was taken to keep Cheryl warm. She received antibiotics and pain relief and once she was fully conscious, was discharged back into the care of her keeper with instructions to continue the medication. They also needed to feed her soft food for several days while her mouth healed. A follow up call a few days later revealed that Cheryl had recovered well and was managing to eat soft food.
Without the care of the staff at Queens Park, Cheryl's dilemma may have gone unnoticed and she would probably have starved.

Chef Jodi did a fantastic job from beginning to end. The experience and the food were phenomenal. It was a great team building event!
La Jolla, CA (PRWEB) June 03, 2014
Lajollacooks4u is welcoming grill season with open arms, especially with the growing demand for team building events and the onset of charming summer weather. Lajollacooks4u is now firing up the grill during team building cooking classes so that teams can gain experience in all areas, from cooking to baking, and now grilling.
A typical corporate team building event at Lajollacooks4u splits participants into teams to tackle the various tasks and recipes of the group's customized five-course menu. With an emphasis on establishing a sense of team unity, team members collaborate and playfully compete against other teams during the cooking process. When the meal is finished, the group reconvenes at either the indoor dining area or outdoor patio where they are served the meal they created together.
Lajollacooks4u provides teams the full range of culinary experience, allowing guests to try their hand at cooking, baking and grilling in both the indoor and outdoor kitchens. Participating teams are able to use Lajollacooks4u's grill and smoker to prepare delicious summer recipes. Teams also have the option to dine outside, enjoying their meal while gazing upon the magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean.
Two San Diego-based corporations recently selected Lajollacooks4u as their destination for their unique team building events. Both corporations loved the unique and collaborative activity Lajollacooks4u provided them, and especially enjoyed the use of the outdoor kitchen and dining area.
One of the participants shared with Chef Jodi, "I had an amazing experience learning to cook! The food was fabulous and the instruction provided was top notch. The ambiance was wonderful and the views from the outdoor patio were stunning. Chef Jodi did a fantastic job!"
The number of team building events has been rapidly growing at Lajollacooks4u, and Chef Jodi is thrilled to offer a complete cooking experience to upcoming groups. Lajollacooks4u is also proud to be the only cooking school in the San Diego area that offers an outdoor kitchen, complete with a high quality grill and smoker, and beautiful dining area.

Spain: Conventional Gas Demand Hits Record High in Feb, Enagas Says
Spain's Enagás said that conventional demand for natural gas (domestic, commercial industrial and cogeneration consumption) reached a new all-time monthly record in February of 30,730 GWh.
The previous monthly record for conventional demand was in January with 30,063 GWh, with average temperatures for this time of year.
These levels confirm the sustained growth of industrial consumption, particularly at cogeneration facilities which is much higher than in the months prior to the start of the economic crisis in mid-2008, Enagás said in a statement.
The cold spell during the first two weeks of February pushed consumption up to such an extent that of the 10 days of record consumption this year, seven were in February.
Conventional demand for natural gas set an all-time record of 1,249 GWh on 3 February due to the low temperatures.
Demand peaks were met comfortably, meeting the entire demand of the System and all export obligations.
Underground storage facilities operated at full capacity to meet requirements.

One investor sees no going back for Cadence Design Systems with the stock trading near a multiyear high.
A single print in the February 12 puts dominates today's option action. The 5,000 that trade eclipse the average daily volume of 104 and even outpace the total open interest for all strikes which stands at 4,000. The puts were sold for $0.70.
CDNS rose 1.17 percent to $12.92 in morning trading. The supplier of chip-design products is up to the highest levels since January 2008, when it was plunging from highs above $23 in mid-2007. Shares bottomed below $3 in late 2008 and have been trending higher since.
The put selling is a bet that the stock remain above $12 through that February expiration. It was below that price just a month ago and if it gets back there the trader faces the obligation to buy shares, which may in fact be the intention. See our Education Section for more on the strategy.
Overall option volume is 48 times greater than average in the name so far today.

Schools' Deep-Pocketed Partners
Published: June 3, 2007
IN those final weeks before summer vacation, when temperatures can soar into the 90s, parents at 5 of Greenwich's 11 elementary schools without adequate air-conditioning could no longer watch their children wilt, along with the crayons, in the heat. So they approached the school board and air-conditioning was installed -- but not at the expense of property taxpayers; the parents raised the money.
Students in two other elementary schools in town, without the same deep-pocketed parents, had to wait, however. They were finally granted air-conditioning after town officials squeezed the upgrades into capital budgets financed by taxpayers.
In the last decade, a growing number of parents, alumni and corporations have been donating private money to public schools for a wide range of school equipment, educational supplies, artists-in-residence and accouterments that go beyond the traditional PTA gifts and what may otherwise be outside the local school board's spending plan.
Some schools have used the donated money to provide basics, at a time when many districts are facing ballooning instructional costs coupled with taxpayer fatigue. Especially in areas like Long Island and Westchester, where voters rejected some school budgets and forced deep budget cuts, some schools have come to rely on parental contributions to nonprofit educational foundations created to finance extracurricular activities like the football team and the drama club.
Other districts, including several in New Jersey, have used educational foundations to help add frills: greenhouses and weather stations, climbing walls and film libraries, and in one case, a quilting machine.
In Greenwich, school administrators had to set caps on how much donors could collectively give to a single school, all in the name of fairness. Now even that policy is being revisited after it became apparent how adept parents were at persuading school officials to waive the caps if the donations to an individual school were significant enough. District officials also noticed over time that donors did not always supply operating funds needed to make use of the gifts and maintain them in years to come.
''There was a sense that the existing procedure may not be sufficiently achieving the goal of equity across schools, and air-conditioning in the schools was one example,'' said Susan O. Wallerstein, Greenwich's assistant superintendent for business services.
In Greenwich, the debate over what schools ''need to have'' versus what would be ''nice to have,'' as Dr. Wallerstein put it, focused on air-conditioners and more recently, on music lessons, field trips, butterfly gardens and nifty classroom tools like smart boards.
While it may be tempting to let private donors give to a favorite school, parents and policymakers are wrestling with the implications of accepting some of those gifts. In response to this concern, officials in many communities have created nonprofit foundations that serve all schools within a district, which Greenwich has now done with its Greenwich Alliance for Education.
''My goal is to provide these opportunities and services so that all kids in town have opportunities for success, not just the privileged ones,'' said Nancy Kail, the alliance's chairwoman. As a recent example, the alliance has provided music lessons for pupils who otherwise might not be able to develop the skills needed to participate later in the high school band.
Consultants estimate that more than 5,000 such foundations exist nationwide, roughly equal to one out of every three school districts. The foundations seem to thrive best in well-off towns, whose residents are eager and able to support the schools, and in distressed cities that can attract traditional grants aimed at easing poverty. That leaves many districts muddling along without a strong financial partner.
Take the local educational foundation in Middletown, N.J. It nearly folded in 2003 because it had too few volunteers to serve on its 10-member board. ''We've struggled,'' said Nancy Ryan, a mother of two who joined the board in late 2003 and up until recently served as its president.
For all its trials, the group has managed to deliver a $2,400 quilting machine for the high school, a $7,900 weather station for an elementary school, $14,000 in mountain bikes, $200 for a rocket-boosting club, and $850 for a ballroom-dancing program.
The foundation has also helped some of the district's more overburdened schools apply for grants so all the resources don't go to a handful of successful schools that are adept at seeking funds.
Philanthropic efforts in Colts Neck, N.J., also suffered a serious blow in December when the police charged Mark A. Vernaglia, the treasurer of the Colts Neck Education Foundation, with looting more than $147,000 of that foundation's money in addition to other crimes. Mr. Vernaglia has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In sharp contrast, the educational foundation in Wall Township, N.J., has had little trouble packing its board with eager volunteers. Known as the Wall Foundation for Educational Excellence, it gave its schools a $110,000 greenhouse in 1992 and $155,000 in television equipment in 2000. The $60,000 in equipment for a ropes course arrived in 2004. The foundation is building an $84,000 outdoor amphitheater for the high school, complete with a koi pond.

I've used Kyte a few times now to stream video online, starting off with a profile of Kyte at SXSW themselves in March. You can use it for both live and precorded video, and film and watch it from a PC or a mobile. I used Kyte over Qik, I think, because when I went to the Qik site it didn't work on Macs or somesuch (it was ages ago now but I never got round to going back).
Anyway, Kyte has differentiated itself by working with a series of big music and media names. Quite accidentally the service has a cult following in the hip-hop scene and if you're a massive 50 Cent fan, it will be quite a thrill to see live backstage footage broadcast straight to your phone from his. You see why it has picked up, anyway.
It's very feature-heavy, Kyte, but compelling nonetheless. In the same way Twitter has a few uses (poetry, distribution, discussion, organsing meet-ups...) I think Kyte is different things to different people; it might be all about live mobile video for one but the discussion on a pre-recorded video piece for someone else.
It's fascinating to watch the real-time icon at the top of the player that shows how many people are watching each clip right now.
Ideas for interesting applications (as in uses, not widgets!) for Kyte welcome.

Envisioning a great downtown waterfront may be easier than developing a waterfront plan.
The Juneau Planning Commission asked Tuesday night to see more work on the city's long-range waterfront plan that will shape development for the next 25 years from Douglas Bridge to the Little Rock Dump.
"Everyone is in agreement on the land uses," Commissioner Dan Bruce said.
But he said he had real concerns about how it would be implemented. Several times during the commission's discussion of the plan, he noted the need to inspire economic development in the area.
"If it's going to be built, we need someone to build it," he said.
Jeannie Johnson, who chairs the city's Waterfront Development Committee, said she appreciated the commission's comments. She noted that the Planning Commission will have to work with the plan. She said the biggest problems she heard concerned details that were discussed by the committee late in the process.
Some of the best points of the plan were barely discussed, if at all, she said.
"We like the seawalk," she said. "It's an avenue for everyone to enjoy the beautiful, rich part of the area."
Most of the commission's discussion involved details.
Commissioner Jim Scholz said he had a problem with the plan limiting the possibilities for another cruise ship dock. That could force a dock to Auke Bay or North Douglas, where it couldn't be supported.
"I'm concerned with the speed we're trying to push through a 25-year plan," he said.
Commission Chairman Johan Dybdahl said the plan will need to be something the community uses and not something that gathers dust on a shelf.
Dybdahl also questioned the reality of plan's cost. He said the seawalk was estimated at $2,000 per square foot.
"It's very expensive property," he said.
Commissioner Marshal Kend-ziorek suggested approving much of the plan while sending back its design criteria for more work.
The criteria allows property owners to build to within 10 feet of their property lines and no more than 35 feet high.
"We have a zero-foot setback on the waterfront now," Community Development Director Dale Pernula pointed out.
Kendziorek asked how the plan would be used to guide decisions in what could be permitted.
"My fear is the only thing that gets built is a nice shelf to put the plan next to other plans that don't get used," he said.
Pernula said he will take the commissioner's comments and put together recommendations for the Waterfront Development Committee.

Super Talent puts SSD reliability to the testBy Justin Mann
Super Talent went a bit further recently to prove how rugged and reliable an SSD can be. The test was interesting to say the least, putting the drive on top of a paint shaker while it was running live with an OS installed and a game playing. According to Super Talent, one of their MasterDrive SSDs survived 40 minutes on top of the paint shaker, something that would be next to impossible for a mechanical disk to achieve without experiencing a head crash.
At $670 for a 120GB drive, there's definitely an "ouch" the drive has on the wallet. But if you travel a lot and have a habit of dropping your laptop, perhaps those $670 are well worth it knowing your data will remain intact. While it's easy to see why an SSD would be more resistant to shock and other trauma when running versus a mechanical disk, they make no mention of disks that are powered off – modern disks can withstand quite a bit of torture when they aren't being used.
You can read the complete press release and watch the video of the SSD running after the jump.

- Approximately 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage; some estimates are as high as 1 in 3. If you include loss that occurs before a positive pregnancy test, some estimate that 40% of all conceptions result in loss.

Cabinet Member for Performance and Capacity
Monday, 16th April, 2012 10.00 am
Venue: Committee Suite 1 & 2, Westfields, Middlewich Road, Sandbach CW11 1HZ. View directions
Contact: Paul Mountford Democratic Services Officer
Declarations of Interest
To provide an opportunity for Members and Officers to declare any personal and/or prejudicial interests in any item on the agenda
There were no declarations of interest.
Public Speaking Time/Open Session
In accordance with Procedure Rules Nos.11 and 35 a period of 10 minutes is allocated for members of the public to address the meeting on any matter relevant to the work of the meeting. Individual members of the public may speak for up to 5 minutes but the Chairman or person presiding will decide how the period of time allocated for public speaking will be apportioned where there are a number of speakers. Members of the public are not required to give notice to use this facility. However, as a matter of courtesy, a period of 24 hours' notice is encouraged.
Members of the public wishing to ask a question at the meeting should provide at least three clear working days' notice in writing and should include the question with that notice. This will enable an informed answer to be given.
Mr Trevor Lightfoot of the Crewe and Nantwich Twinning Association sought clarification of the process for allocating grant funding for twinning. The Cabinet Member responded.
Twinning - Request for Grants by Crewe and Nantwich Twinning Association and the Twinning Association of Poynton PDF 75 KB
To consider requests from the Crewe and Nantwich Twinning Association and the Twinning Association of Poynton for grant funding, and to consider the introduction of a framework for dealing with any future applications
The Cabinet Member considered a number of applications for grant funding in connection with twinning and associated events.
The Crewe and Nantwich Twinning Association (CANTA) received £5,000 from Cheshire East Borough Council in 2009/10 and 2010/11 respectively. This was aimed at supporting activities/projects that would benefit local communities within Cheshire East. CANTA were advised at the time that they should be seeking alternative forms of funding as the Council could not guarantee the same level of funding in future years, having regard to the financial constraints facing public services.
The Twinning Association of Poynton (TAP) were applying for a grant to support their work, including a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Twinning Association by inviting young people from Hungary next year. In addition, TAP were seeking support for the Poynton Air Training Corps for their visit to Erd in Hungary this year. TAP had received some support from the former Macclesfield Borough Council, but not on a regular basis.
The Macclesfield Charter Trustees, together with representatives from local community groups, had indicated that they were interested in maintaining links with Eckernförde and had enquired about funding that might be available for community-based activities. Further details of the grant application by the Trustees were circulated at the meeting. The Trustees had requested a grant of £1,000 towards the cost of a visit to Macclesfield by the Eckernförde Male Voice Choir in October 2012. The Trustees were also requesting additional grant to support reciprocal school trips, as well as events being planned for 2013 to celebrate the shared history within the silk industry of Macclesfield and Xi'an, China.
In considering the requests the Portfolio Holder had regard to:
§ the financial constraints facing the Council;
§ the Council's policy to support community-based activities; and
§ the Council's policy to withdraw from civic and ceremonial twinning
Provision of £17,000 had been made for twinning in the Council's Revenue Budget for 2011/12. For 2012/13 the Council was proposing to reduce the twinning budget by £10,000, leaving a budget of £7,000. It was prudent to consider the introduction of a framework for dealing with any future applications for 2012/13. Such a framework would provide that all future applications would be made to the Council's Community Grant Scheme. The Portfolio Holder would reserve the right consider particular applications because of their significance to either the Council or the Borough.
The Council's review of twinning arrangements had identified potential benefits from developing an international strategy focusing on commercial and economic development links. The remaining twinning budget would be used to underpin this activity.
(1) a grant of £2,500 be awarded to the Crewe and Nantwich Twinning Association (CANTA);
(2) a grant of £2,500 be awarded to the Twinning Association of Poynton (TAP);
(3) a grant of £2,500 be awarded to the Macclesfield Charter Trustees;
(4) a grant of £500 be awarded to Poynton ATC;
(5) in the light of reductions to the Twinning Budget for 2012/13, all future applications for ... view the full minutes text for item 3.

This recipe was submitted by Anna from Hank & Willie. I made it twice this weekend just to be sure that it was as delicious as I thought. Both times confirmed Anna's description as being the best brownies EVAH!
I've included all of Anna's parenthetical asides...
1 stick butter, unsalted
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate (I like Ghiradelli or Valhrona best, but Baker's works too)
1 cup dark brown sugar, loosely packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large eggs, well beaten
1 tiny dash cinnamon, preferably Penzy's Chinese cassia* (not too much!)
1 dash salt (not too much!)
1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup (scant)** unbleached white flour
1 cup Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat over to 350 and butter a glass 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 pan before you start.
Melt chocolate and butter together over a low heat, remove from heat, let cool for 3-5 minutes. Add vanilla and sugar, mix well. Add beaten eggs, mix well. Add cinnamon, salt, cocoa powder and flour, mix well, then mix in chocolate chips and pour into prepared pan.
This next part is VERY important. If you like them the way I do, almost like a flourless chocolate cake, set your timer for 18 minutes. And remember, use a glass pan. The difference between 18 and 20 minutes is huge to these delicate chocolate darlings, and I find this recipe to be at its best at 18 minutes, EVEN if your knife check reveals a little gooeyness in the center (It will continue to cook when you take it out, and it won't be gooey when it cools.) You'll get to know how your oven responds to this recipe, but I would be surprised if you would want them to bake more than 19 minutes, and maybe even as little as 17 minutes. When they bake too long, they get a bit dry, since it is such a dense recipe. Oh, and it doubles quite well, I can report.
*I didn't have any fancy cinnamon. My brownies still turned out fantastic.
**Scant means "not quite." I didn't know this and had to look it up.

I just saw this at scifi.com about Mr. Eko. Pay particular attention to the end where he talks about the characters of himself, Jack and Locke.
Lost's Mr. Eko Reveals A Secret
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, the London-born actor who plays the mysterious Mr. Eko on ABC's hit series Lost, revealed to SCI FI Wire the directions he received in his pivotal scenewhen he comes face to face with the island's monsterthat may hint at the monster's true nature.
"I mean, it was just like, they didn't say anything," Akinnuoye-Agbaje said in an interview at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour in Pasadena, Calif. Rather, the actor said, he was hammered with directions: "'And here it comes! It's coming! It's coming! ... It's going to take your soul out! He's looking at your mother! He's looking at your grandmother! ... He's going right into your deep, dark past! He's showing it all right in front of your eyes!' I'm, 'What?' And they're saying all of this in a split-second, and you've got to translate all of these emotions in one-point-two of a second. 'And now he's around you! Now he's in your back! Now he's coming up through your throat!' ... I was crosseyed by the time I finished it [laughs]."
In the scene, Mr. Eko, one of the survivors of the ill-fated Oceanic Flight 815, encounters the monster, which appears to viewers as a billowing cloud of black smoke, in which flash images that appear to be scenes from Eko's past. "On top of it, you've got five cameramen with a big silver ball and a camera running at you, like, a hundred miles an hour," Akinnuoye-Agbaje said. "So I was scared, because he fell over a couple of times [laughs]. I was more afraid that he was going to hit me in the head with the camera than the damn monster [laughs heartily]."
Akinnuoye-Agbaje, an actor of Nigerian extraction who has a master's degree in law from King's College, University of London, added that his character developed differently from what was originally conceived.
"I think that the writers obviously brought this character in to be able to explore the more spiritual, mystical elements of the island," Akinnuoye-Agbaje said. "That's what they've told me about Eko. And, you know, they have the man of science, I believe, which is what Jack [Matthew Fox] represents. And then you have Locke [Terry O'Quinn], who's a man of philosophy, somewhat dark sometimes. And they wanted to juxtapose this man of faith against those. So it's like a pyramid. So that's where they originally perceived of him being placed. And I think beyond that, it's going to have to be an organic growth, because they watch how you interact, and then they see what comes from that. ... They have an idea, but who knows where it will end up?"
For one thing, the writers ended up making Mr. Eko more of an active character. "I know they originally conceived of him as a very passive character," Akinnuoye-Agbaje said. "But ... taking the shirt off of a 6-foot-2 black man and putting a stick in his hand, it doesn't matter how passive he is, it's not going to give that image. And so they got with that and implemented it, rather than fight against it, into the character."

Cooper fined, receives suspended ban
A contrite Quade Cooper has apologised for behaviour that fell below Wallabies standards after being fined at least $40,000 and handed a suspended three-match ban on Monday for two breaches of the Australian Rugby Union code of conduct.
The independent three-man conduct tribunal of chairman and barrister Dominic Villa, former Wallaby lock David Giffin and Mark Wooley heard six alleged breaches of conduct by the Reds playmaker following a marathon hearing at ARU headquarters on Wednesday that lasted more than four hours.
The talented 24-year-old five-eighth, who has made 38 Test appearances, was fined $10,000 for his comments on social media on September 22 about an ARU-licensed video game called Rugby Challenge.
Cooper was also fined $50,000 - $20,000 of which is suspended for two years - in relation to his comments on social and mainstream media.
Cooper's criticism of the Wallabies included a reference to a toxic environment and he also cast doubt on his commitment to playing for Australia again.
He was also given a three-match ban - suspended for two years - which could apply to Super Rugby or Test matches, depending on what period of the season any future breach occurred.
Cooper, who arrived at ARU headquarters almost half an hour before the scheduled 1pm (AEDT) start of the hearing, made a short address to the large media pack after the hearing, but didn't take questions.
"It's been a very long day, it was a very fair hearing and I was very happy with the outcome," Cooper said.
"Obviously, the sentence that has been handed to me, full respect for that and I understand that I fell well below par in what it means to be a Wallaby.
"For all the supporters that are out there, my apologies.
"From now on, I'm just looking forward to the future - hopefully having a big year, with not only my state, but the Wallabies.
"And I'm very much looking forward to overcoming my injury and getting back out on the field."
His remarks on Wednesday suggest he fully intends to push for Test selection in the future rather than looking at a possible switch to rugby league.
ARU deputy chief executive officer Matt Carroll said his organisation had noted the tribunal's findings and would consider their next step in contracting Cooper, whose current agreement concludes at the end of this year, though he has already re-signed with Queensland.
"ARU placed contract negotiations with Quade Cooper on hold until the tribunal process had been finalised," Carroll said.
"Given the tribunal has handed down its decision, this matter - as far as we are concerned - has been finalised.
"ARU will now look at how we address the contract situation involving Quade Cooper."
Cooper, who was represented by Angelo Benardos, has had a difficult past 12 months.
He endured a difficult World Cup and his contribution was terminated by an anterior cruciate ligament knee injury early in the bronze-medal match against Wales.
He returned to action in the middle of the Super Rugby season and he played three Tests in the Rugby Championship before succumbing to another knee injury, which ruled him out of the Wallabies spring Tour.

Too few assets to save dull 'Arbitrage'
Published 5:37 pm, Thursday, September 13, 2012
Unless I missed it, no one in the movie even mentions the word. But just so you know: "Arbitrage" means the simultaneous buying and selling of the same thing in the quest to make busloads of money.
It is, apparently, among the high-wire financial techniques employed by the protagonist of this smooth but snooze-inducing anti-thriller, which features an exceedingly dapper Richard Gere in a series of nice suits and handsome close-ups that serve no purpose other than to remind us how exceedingly dapper Richard Gere looks in nice suits and handsome close-ups. The rest of the movie registers as a loss: of time, money, talent and logic.
Gere plays Robert Miller, the sleek billionaire whose cushy life is threatened when the sale of his company fails to go through - and, uh-oh, when his efforts to hide a $412 million shortfall are about to be exposed. Even more problematic, his pouty French artist-girlfriend (Laetitia Casta) dies after Robert crashes her Benz on a nighttime drive upstate, and instead of calling 911, he skedaddles to the nearest payphone and dials up a young black friend in Harlem.
Why does he do this? You may wonder. So does the young black friend, Jimmy (Nate Parker), who rightly questions Robert's tendency to "get in a bind and just call the only (expletive) you know." Excellent point, Jimmy! He is, incidentally, the only sympathetic character in the entire movie, as everyone else is either A) a boob; B) boring and sanctimonious, or C) a boring, sanctimonious boob. When New York cops show up, as they inevitably do despite some glaring jurisdictional abnormalities, they are as booblike and boring as all who came before. And until now, I had never associated either of those qualities with any character played by Tim Roth.
"Arbitrage" marks the first narrative feature for writer-director Nicholas Jarecki (who made his mark with "The Outsider," an HBO documentary portrait of indie filmmaker James Toback). The script is pitted with plot holes and huhs, and the camerawork offers one too many mega-close-ups of pointless objects (a jet engine, a cup of coffee). A scene shot inside a cop car features a low, dusky light out the back window and broad sunlight out the front.
Meanwhile, overacting alternates with under-. Susan Sarandon has a few tired, huffing scenes as Robert's wife; Brit Marling feigns uppity righteousness, or some bland approximation thereof, as his daughter. But the only character who matters at all is Robert, and that's not saying a whole lot because Robert's story follows no earth-quaking transformational arc. He's just there to be a jerk. So if you're looking for some sagacious morality tale on the perils of high finance, don't expect much.

Just transferred 3 oz of down to my new quilt.
Surely there's a better way! :confused:
Have 12 more oz to go. How do you do it?
fascinating stuff, so fluffy, so light, so compressable...
Shop-Vac method, perhaps?
I tried a variation of this using the cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels. Seems it did not suck up much before the plastic bag just shrunk up and nothing more was happening.
Will try again tomorrow using the plastic tube attachment on the machine.
.25 oz per shift... hmm ... that's about what I got with the cardboard... hmmm.... maybe I was just too impatient.
Definitely did use the tube and vacuum to catch all the loose clusters.
Also, it takes 4 hands; 1- power on/off, 2 - hold the vacuum attachment, 3- hold the bag of down, 4- 2nd hand to close the down bag when the tube is full.
Naw - you can see in the video it only takes two hands! Still, it's time-consuming if you don't want to make a mess.
Can't you just fill a vacuum cleaner with the down, then turn it on reverse? Now that I think about it I've never seen a vacuum cleaner with reverse mode. Is that only in cartoons?
Using a shopvac fill the hose with the desired amount of down put the end of the hose in your quilt, place the other end on the exhaust and turn on vac prestofiller. If you have trouble getting the down in the hose put a nylon stocking over the end that attaches to the vac and suck up down presto loaded vac hose.
If you don't want to use your old dirty shop vac go buy a new one and save the reciept take it back when your done, Walmart takes back anything as long as you have the reciept.
You can still only suck up ~.25 oz of down into the hose. The down compacts in the nylon stocking (I use a mesh tube) and blocks the airflow. So you empty it and start over. Takes a little while, but it's clean and easy...just tedious.
Much to my childrens' amazement and my wife's anger, I tried to make a down quilt another way. I bought an old army surplus down sleeping bag for $15. I then sewed a rip stop nylon shell. SO FAR SO GOOD.:) Then I made the incredibly bright move of attempting to harvest the down in the dining room. I used good old fashioned hand power. This wasn't the most effective or neat way of doing it.:o I was banished to the back porch.:mad: It was a windy fall day, which may have lead to may have lead to my indoor decision. I then proceeded to stuff the down in BY HAND. I have used this quilt with a hammock sock and a 20 degree bag during the winter months in upstate new york and been toasty. The lowest temp I have been out in was single digits last February on a boy scout training course.:D
As far as the mess goes, I like the idea of using one of those old antique things they called a 'tent'. Set it up in the living room, zip all the windows/doors shut, and have at it. Sure would make clean-up easier.

Orlando shooter exchanged messages with wife during assault
Miami, June 18 (IANS) Omar Seddique Mateen, perpetrator of a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that left 50 people dead, including the attacker, and 53 wounded, exchanged text messages with his wife, Noor Zahi Salman, throughout the assault, local media reported on Friday.
Apparently, Salman's mother called her daughter around 2:00 a.m. local time on Sunday, woke her up and asked if she knew where Mateen was, Efe news cited a report by NBC News channel.
Salman said she did not, and went on to text her husband and ask where he was, to which Mateen answered, "Do you see what's happening?"
His wife said "No", and Mateen replied, "I love you, babe".
Around 2:00 a.m. Mateen started his indiscriminate shooting in the gay club Pulse, which was celebrating "Latin Night".
But apparently that was not the shooter's only use of the telephone during the massacre. He also communicated with News 13 television and asked a producer if he knew anything about the shooting, and when the man said he did, Mateen said, "I am the shooter. It's me."
"I did it for the Islamic State (IS)," the killer said, according to producer Matthew Gentili.
Mateen also used his mobile phone during the massacre to access Facebook, where he published messages blaming the United States for the death of "innocent women and children", and demanded that the US stop bombing territory controlled by the IS.
During his conversations with police negotiators, Mateen also declared his loyalty to the terrorist group.
While holed up at Pulse, he also used Facebook to find out what impact the massacre was having by using the search words "Pulse Orlando" and "shooting".

Coping With Nerve and Muscle Effects Related to Chemotherapy
Sometimes anticancer drugs can cause problems with your body's nerves. One example of a condition affecting the nervous system is peripheral neuropathy, where you feel a tingling, burning, weakness, or numbness or pain in your feet and legs. Some drugs can also affect the muscles, making them weak, tired, or sore.
Sometimes these nerve and muscle side effects, though annoying, are not serious. In other cases, nerve and muscle symptoms may be serious and need medical attention. Be sure to report any nerve or muscle symptoms to your doctor. Most of the time, these symptoms will get better; however, it may take up to a year after your treatment ends.
Common Symptoms
Some nerve and muscle-related symptoms include:
- Tingling
- Burning
- Weakness or numbness in the hands and/or feet
- Feeling colder than normal
- Pain when walking
- Weak, sore, tired, or achy muscles
- Loss of balance
- Clumsiness
- Difficulty picking up objects and buttoning clothing
- Shaking or trembling
- Walking problems
- Hearing loss
- Stomach pain
- Constipation
Tell your doctor as soon as symptoms appear so they can be promptly treated.
What to Do
Here are some tips that may help:
- If your fingers are numb, be very careful when grasping objects that are sharp, hot, or otherwise dangerous.
- If your sense of balance or muscle strength is affected, avoid falls by moving carefully, using handrails when going up or down stairs, and using bath mats in the bathtub or shower. Use a cane or other walking aid if needed.
- If possible, always wear shoes with soft soles, such as sneakers.
- When bathing, check the temperature of your bath water with a thermometer. This will help you avoid getting burned by water that is too hot.
- Be careful when cooking. Take steps to avoid cutting or burning yourself.
- Wear gloves when cooking, washing dishes, or gardening.
- Rest when you feel tired.
- Ask your doctor for pain medication. There are multiple different medications available that can effectively treat the pain related to neuropathy. In certain situations your doctor may refer you to a cancer pain specialist for further treatment.
- Consider acupuncture. Many people with acute neuropathy find acupuncture helpful. It usually takes 2-5 treatments before beneficial effects can be appreciated. Acupuncture treatment is in some cases covered by medical insurance. Check with your doctor to see if you are at risk for infection from accupuncture because of low white blood cell counts.

Aunt Marjorie is still at the table, Uncle Dave is in the den screaming about God knows what, and all the kids are jacked up on pumpkin pie. Yes, it's football/Thanksgiving season once again.
But what is football? Some Americans call it "footy" but they are all promptly ridiculed and beaten by those who love them most. They want them to understand yardage, NFL Lines and why there are so many commercials.
Well, it's not always that easy.
RIGHT: Peyton Manning, one "star" of the virtually hands-only game of "football" is seen here in a rare candid shot, showing off the effects of training on alien planets following his well-publicized 2007 abduction. The gamma radiation suffered will surely kill him within a few years, but until then he may or may not have super powers. (CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO ENLARGE)
Fantasy Football fans can agree, your family is pretarded. They're not dumb, exactly, and they're not ignorant, but they're something a bit earlier in the pipe than that.
Improve your holiday arguments
Forget politics and religion. Sure uncle Ed only listens to conservative radio and cousin Kathy gets all her current events from religious radio, but you can up your game by introducing an argument you can win every time… it's called football.
You can slam Kathy by telling her why God obviously hates Tim Tebow. You can trump your jackass father-in-law by explaining how head injuries only benefit the owners, while leaving the impoverished mere-millionaires playing the game in the lurch as they plow headlong into traumatic brain injury.
So this holiday season, forget trying to butt heads with people who think they know more than you and opt instead to take them out of their comfort zone and make them suffer in the domain where you are the master.
What's the difference between college football and professional NFL football? Who cares? That's hardly the point.
Football isn't just America's pastime, it's also the easiest way for an amateur college athlete to make millions of dollars… um, I mean, earn a valuable degree he'll use later in life.
Assuming his non-football degree involves forgetting everything he turned in on papers his tutor wrote*, and losing what little he learned to 4,000 collisions to his head.
* I vividly remember one 100-level English class I had with a football player at my university. Couldn't miss him, he was ginormous, as big as three regular college nerds. He must have showed up to class about five times over the quarter, but his tutor was there every day, and I'll be damned if he didn't get a better grade in the class than I did… maybe he was just really, really smart.

Someone actually dropped Aaron Brooks
Wow, there have been some interesting drops this year (Green and now Brooks, although in different leagues) for the leagues I am in.
Grabbing Brooks is a no brainer, except I'm not sure who to drop for him. My team in that league is ridiculously deep in PG (in addition to the ones listed, I have Felton)... I would need to drop one of these players to grab Brooks:
Mike Conley
Jrue Holiday
DJ Augustin
Baron Davis
Dorrell Wright
Which should I drop? I'm leaning towards dumping Baron (who I just grabbed off waivers and his injuries scare me), DJ Augustin (not fully sold on him), or Dorrell (who has been cooling off after a hot start).
Re: Someone actually dropped Aaron Brooks
I haven't read much up on Baron's situation, but he's the one I'd dump. Unless they trade him (unlikely due to that contract), he's not gonna change his ways on that pisspoor team
Re: Someone actually dropped Aaron Brooks
I think Davis is the right choice here as well.
Re: Someone actually dropped Aaron Brooks
wow nice...
i would dump dorrell or baron depending on what you need.
Re: Someone actually dropped Aaron Brooks
Voting to dump Baron.
Re: Someone actually dropped Aaron Brooks
Dorrell looks pretty horrific lately too... 1-6 FG tonight so far.
Last 10 games shooting 35% (4.8 for 13.4). He does put up decent 3's and other stats though.
Not sure what to think about Baron. He's a huge risk I guess. His stats last year were pretty solid, I would imagine his assists are going to be in the 8-9 range now that he has Griffin to feed the ball to.

Bring the Blood out in Horror Movies
It is no secret that today a great variety of people enjoy watching terrifying horror movies for a great variety of reasons. These types of films are so popular that the genre itself has been split into a variety of subgenres, ranging from monster flicks to slasher flicks to the ever popular zombie apocalypse flicks. There are even extremely popular and extremely long running franchises.
A lot of people may be surprised to see such popularity in a genre which purports to have the purpose of doing nothing less but scaring the proverbial pants off their audience. However, what might come as an even greater surprise to some people is the fact that this is hardly a new invention. Not only have filmmakers been making such scary films since the very beginning of filmmaking, but the scary stories themselves are even older than that.
The key to understand the inception of this type of genre is to look at the birth of 77 in the western world, the plays of ancient Greece. The concept that many such plays worked around, although none of them were considered scary, regardless of what sort of a chimeric monster formed the centerpiece of the action, was the idea of catharsis.
Catharsis simply means the release of negative feelings through such a medium. The idea is that the audience, by experiencing something scary, or something sad, is through the action of living the story through the actors in the play, purged of those negative emotions at the end of the story in one single release moment, known as the climax.
These techniques described above should come as no surprise to the discerning viewer of today. In fact, both classic films and the most recent entries in this genre use such techniques to give their audiences many different build ups and releases during the course of a film. By plumbing the darkest corners of our subconscious, the filmmakers can create truly terrifying visions.
Regardless of the viewer's preferences in this day and age, whether or not he or she enjoys a particular sub-genre or all scary films regardless of their characters, the choices in horror movies are greater than ever. Accordingly, they are attracting a greater than ever audience.

The only reason I gave these cherries four stars instead of five is because I bought these at the same time as a bag of the organic version to see if there actually was a difference. And it was. These taste a bit less than the organic ones so I had to take away a star. But they're just as crunchy as the other ones, and I like to use them in homemade chocolate and other snacks.

Little expensive. Can get stuck in your teeth. But they taste great and make a really great snack. I eat them plain, in yogurt, or in oatmeal.

My husband and I devoured a whole bag of these in about five minutes. I am going to wait a month or two before ordering these again b/c they're a bit expensive, but knowing how much cherries cost, I believe the price is fair. Great product -- oh, and beautifully tart! I adore tart cherries, so this was a great find!
