The ldapdelete command requests deletion of entries stored by a directory server. You must bind as a user having access to delete the entries specified.
Specify one or more entry DNs, separated by space, and typically enclosed in double quotes ("") for the shell. Alternatively, include DNs in a file, one per line without quotes around DNs. The ldapdelete command reads each line as one literal DN.
When deleting a subtree, you must delete child entries before you delete their parent entries.
The following options are supported:
Ignore LDAP library version mismatches.
When this option is omitted, the default behavior is to assert that the revision number of the LDAP API be greater than or equal to that used to compile the tool. Also, if the library and the tool have the same vendor name, the tool will assert that the vendor version number of the API be greater than or equal to that used to compile the tool. Revision and version numbers are based on the contents of the LDAPAPIInfo structure defined in <ldap.h> or header files included by <ldap.h>.
Check host names in SSL certificates.
Use the specified bind DN to authenticate to the directory server.
If the bind DN and its password are omitted, the ldapdelete command binds anonymously. The bind DN determines whether the delete operation can complete, according to the user permissions.
Request that the directories expose (report) bind identities.
Display usage information.
Read SSL key password for the client key database specified using the -P option from filename.
The default is key3.db.
Use the specified control OID.
The criticality, a boolean, is false by default.
An LDAP control can be associated with a value. Proxy authorization takes a proxy authorization ID, for example, passed with the control OID, and criticality. If a value is necessary you specify it using value, base64value, or <fileurl.
Use the SSL key database located in pathname, the full path to the key database file.
The default is to search for the key database file, key3.db, in the directory specified by the -P option.
Manage referrals, deleting the entry containing the referral instead of the entry obtained by following the referral.
Use the specified certificate for certificate-based client authentication, for example: -N "Client-Cert", where Client-Cert is the subject name of the user certificate.
Follow at maximum limit referral hops. Default is 5.
Use the certificate database located in pathname, the full path to the certificate database file.
The default is to search for the certificate database file, cert8.db, in the current directory.
Use PKCS 11.
Do not follow referrals automatically.
Use LDAP protocol version n, where n is 2 or 3. Default is 3.
Prompt for the password for the client key database specified using the -P option.
The -W option is required for certificate-based client authentication.
Specify the password for the client key database specified using the -P option.
The -W option is required for certificate-based client authentication.
Use the rights of the entry having the specified DN for performing LDAP operations. When using this option, you must also specify how to bind before you assume the rights of the proxy. Thus, when using simple authentication, you would also use the -D and -w options with this option.
Before proxy authentication can work in Directory Server, you must set up the appropriate access control instructions.
Use SSL to provide certificate-based client authentication.
The -Z option requires the -N and -W options and any other SSL options needed to identify the certificate and the key database.
Use Start TLS to provide certificate-based client authentication.
The -ZZ option requires the -N and -W options and any other SSL options needed to identify the certificate and the key database.
Run in continuous mode, not stopping on errors.
In continuous mode, errors are reported but the ldapdelete command continues. When not running in continuous mode, the ldapdelete command quits after the first error.
Set LDAP debug level to the specified value.
The following debug levels are supported:
Display verbose debugging messages; LDAP_DEBUG_TRACE.
Display messages about the content of network packets; LDAP_DEBUG_PACKETS.
Display messages about LDIF parsing; LDAP_DEBUG_PARSE.
Display informational messages; LDAP_DEBUG_ANY.
Use the sum of the levels to specify more than one debug level. For example, to set the debug level to display both verbose debugging messages, and messages about the content of network packets, specify -d 3.
Read DNs from the specified file.
The file format is one DN per line without quotes around DNs. The ldapdelete command reads each line as one literal DN.
This option has no effect when you also specify DNs on standard input.
Contact the LDAP server on the specified host, which may be a host name or an IP address. Enclose IPv6 addresses in brackets ([]) as described in RFC 2732.
For example, when mapping the IPv4 address 192.168.0.99 to IPv6, pass the -h option with its argument as -h [::ffff:192.168.0.99]. Notice the brackets.
When using GSSAPI with Directory Server, specify the host as a fully-qualified host name which matches the value of the nsslapd-localhost attribute on the cn=config entry. The GSSAPI authentication process requires that the host name provided by the client match the one provided by the server.
The default is localhost.
Use the specified character set to override the value of the LANG environment variable. This option is useful, as the command converts certain arguments you specify to UTF-8 before sending the request to the server. The following arguments are converted: base DN, bind DN, LDAP filter, and password.
You can prevent the command from converting passwords by using the -k option.
Examples of charset values include ISO8859-1, ISO8859-15, ibm-1275, and windows-1251.
Read the bind password for simple authentication from the specified file.
Do not convert the passwords to UTF-8.
Use the security module database located in the specified directory.
Use the -m option if the security module database is in a different directory from the certificate database itself.
Show what would be done, but do not actually do it.
Use the specified attribute values when performing SASL authentication.
The following attrname arguments are supported:
Use the specified authentication identity.
Use the specified authorization identity.
Request the specified SASL mechanism for the bind.
Use the specified realm to complete the bind.
Use the specified security level.
The attrvalue is a valid value corresponding to the attrname you specify.
Contact the LDAP server on the specified port.
The default is 389 (636 if SSL is used).
Run in verbose mode, displaying diagnostics on standard output.
Prompt for the bind password for simple authentication.
Use the specified bind password for simple authentication.
Examples in this section use the following conventions:
The bind DN given corresponds to a user with permission to delete entries.
The directory server is located on a system named host.
The directory server listens on port number 389, the default for non-SSL traffic.
The directory server listens on port number 636, the default for SSL traffic. SSL is enabled.
The following command deletes a single entry from the directory:
$ ./ldapdelete -h host -D uid=kvaughan,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com \ -w - uid=scarter,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com Enter bind password: $
The following commands demonstrate deleting an entry whose DN is specified on standard input:
$ ./ldapdelete -h host -D uid=kvaughan,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com \ -w - -c -v Enter bind password: ldapdelete: started Tues Oct 18 08:31:14 2005 ldap_init( host, 389 ) uid=scarter, ou=People, dc=example,dc=com deleting entry uid=scarter, ou=People, dc=example,dc=com entry removed ^D $
The following commands demonstrate reading DNs of entries to delete from a file. Notice that the -c option is used to continue if an error occurs.
$ cat DNfile uid=scarter, ou=People, dc=example,dc=com uid=bjensen, ou=People, dc=example,dc=com $ ./ldapdelete -h host -D uid=kvaughan,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com \ -c -f DNfile -w - Enter bind password: $
The following command uses server authentication during the bind, where the server only accepts binds by clients with trusted certificates. Notice only the -P option is used without other SSL-related options.
$ ./ldapdelete -h host -p 636 -c -f DNfile -P /home/kvaughan/security \ -D uid=kvaughan,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com -w - Enter bind password:
The following command uses client authentication during the bind, where the server only accepts binds by clients with trusted certificates, and the client must sign the certificate with a password-protected private key. Notice the options used in this example.
$ ./ldapdelete -h host -p 636 -c -f DNfile -Z -P /home/kvaughan/security \ -N "kvscert" -K /home/kvaughan/security -W keypassword
The exit status returned reflects the return values of the underlying functions used, which may depend on return values sent by the server. Common exit status codes follow:

Obamacare delay creates political problems of its own
WASHINGTON -- The White House just swapped one political headache for another.
By delaying a requirement that all large employers provide health insurance, the Obama administration heads off the unseemly spectacle of companies vowing to cut jobs or workers' hours to avoid the costly mandate.
But the late Tuesday action is not a free pass: It contributes to critics' allegations that the White House does not have the ability to launch its biggest legislative accomplishment on schedule.
"You trade off one set of painful stories for another set of painful stories," Bob Kocher, a former Obama health-policy adviser, said. "I would think that, if I'm an administration official today, it's a way more troublesome news story for people to say that we're not ready to launch."
For years now, employers have rallied against the requirement that businesses with more than 50 workers provide health insurance benefits to all employees who work more than 30 hours per week.
From retail chains to school districts, many said they would cut work weeks below the 30-hour threshold to dodge the new mandate. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill began drafting a bipartisan bill that would weaken the employer mandate, applying it to those who worked more than 40 hours a week.
Coverage of those efforts came with a harsh message during a time of economic stress: The president's health-care law was leading to workers losing hours -- or losing their jobs altogether.
"You were already seeing it, whether it was some of the restaurants earlier this year to teachers' aides in the press," Neil Trautwein, vice president at the National Retail Federation, said. "Potentially, you would have seen more stories on this."
Trautwein had multiple meetings with the administration and legislators in which he raised those potential consequences of the health law provision, he said.
"If you set a hard 30-hour limit for eligibility, you encourage employers to cut where they can," Trautwein said. "You're not going to cut willy-nilly, but potentially you increase your part-time workforce."
Delaying the employer mandate until 2015 essentially puts an end to those actions for one year. While the Treasury Department cited concerns about the "complexity of the requirements" as the reason for the delay, observers saw a political motivation as well.
"I think this is less about readiness and more about the fact that they're trying to be flexible in their implementation," said Rhett Buttle, vice president at the Small Business Majority, which supports the Affordable Care Act. "It does seem like an olive branch."
At the same time, health-law supporters worry that the decision to delay will only advance a narrative that the administration will not be ready for October, when Americans are set to begin enrolling in the health law's new marketplaces.
"This seems like an easy thing," said Kocher, the former Obama adviser. "The fact that there might be an administrative reason why this is hard is worrisome. This is a hell of a lot easier than calculating premium subsidies."
This is the second major delay for the Affordable Care Act. Earlier this year, Health and Human Services put off implementing a health law provision that would have given employees of small businesses more choices of coverage plans. Workers on federally run marketplaces will now have to enroll into the health plan their employer chooses.
Tuesday's action could also increase the law's overall price tag if more employers decide to drop coverage and move their workers into the public health exchanges, which would increase the need for federal subsidies.
"I don't think it's the end of the world if [the employer mandate] isn't there, but I hope people don't complain when the cost of the law goes up," said John McDonough, a Harvard professor who once served as Sen. Ted Kennedy's health policy adviser. "This is not a freebie."
Others dismissed concerns that employers would drop health coverage without the law's mandate. The vast majority of large businesses already provide insurance to their workers, without any federal requirements to do so.
McDonough said he worries that the provision could be delayed even further.
"Politically, it won't get easier a year from now, it will get harder," he said. "You've given the employer community a sense of confidence that maybe they can kill this. If I were an employer, I would smell blood in the water."
Within minutes of the White House announcement, some employer groups were already making further demands. The International Franchise Association praised the delay, which it had lobbied for, but also said it did not go far enough.
"We need to make sure that we don't forget that this is still a problem," IFA's Judith Thorman said. "There is still the definition of [what constitutes] a full-time employee that we're going to try and pursue. That's a significant issue for us."

It might work to start a new search for a "support" ship that suppresses those two cells in the almost-knightship, and see if any solutions happen to come up for the different possible searchable shapes. I would expect that one or more people have already tried something along those lines, but I don't know for sure.

A key federal agency has given its blessing to the building of a new ferry terminal in Mukilteo.
Washington State Ferries announced Thursday it had received a "record of decision" from the Federal Transit Administration that signals completion of the lengthy environmental review process for the $129 million project.
The decision, issued Aug. 22, represents the last major bureaucratic hurdle the state needed to clear in order to move ahead with final design and construction of the new terminal roughly one-third mile east of the existing one.
"This is a major milestone for this project. This was the big piece," said Capt. George Capacci, interim director of Washington State Ferries.
"After a decade of environmental review and collaboration with federal, state, and local officials, tribes, and the public we're looking forward to building a safe and efficient new terminal that opens the Mukilteo waterfront and improves access to transit," he said.
The new terminal will replace the current 60-year-old facility. Last year, it was used by 3.9 million vehicles and riders. It has not undergone any significant improvements since the 1980s and, as a result, is in need of repairs and is vulnerable to damage in earthquakes.
Once complete, the new terminal will have a pedestrian loading bridge, a six-bay bus transit center and improved connections to the nearby Sound Transit commuter rail station.
It also will feature a vehicle holding area with a capacity of about 266 vehicles, reconstruction of the First Street/Park Avenue intersection and the realignment and extension of First Street as a four-lane roadway with sidewalks and bicycle lanes.
State and federal dollars will cover the $129 million cost of Mukilteo Multimodal Project. As of now, Washington State Ferries has lined up roughly $47 million in federal aid and $82 million in state dollars. Most of those dollars are authorized but will need to be appropriated to be spent, he said.
The first phase involves removal of an old pier on the Mukilteo Tank Farm to make room for the new terminal. Washington State Ferries hopes to seek bids in October, with work to get started in spring 2015.
In the meantime, final design of the terminal must be completed, Capacci said. Washington State Ferries is aiming to advertise for bids on the project in August 2016 and construction starting in 2017. The new terminal is expected to open in 2019.
The federal decision provided a much-needed piece of good news for beleaguered leaders of Washington State Ferries.
A series of recent incidents — including cancelations, vessel breakdowns and overloaded boats — have incited calls from lawmakers for changes in how the system is managed and who is managing it.
And the agency is without a permanent leader, though that could soon change.
A search is under way for a new ferries director and Sunday is the deadline to apply.

Got an Idea to Take Over GOP From Establishment? Conservative Faction Eager to Know
A great idea on how to wrest control of the GOP from "establishment big government Republicans" and return it to the hands of "limited government, constitutional conservatives," and win the November 2016 elections for the Republican Party, can make you $10,000 richer.
Richard Viguerie, chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, announced on Monday that he would award a prize of $10,000 to an individual or group who submits a winning idea on how to complete the feat.
Contrary to what some people may think, argues Viguerie in the media release, the most critical political battle taking place in America now is not between Republicans and Democrats or conservatives and liberals, but the battle for the Republican Party between "establishment big government Republicans" and "limited government, constitutional conservatives."
"It has become clear that establishment Republican and Democratic politicians have failed America because they have both accepted big government as the solution to every problem," said Viguerie in a statement. "The urgency of this effort cannot be overstated," he added.
Viguerie said he has named the $10,000 prize "The Liberty Prize" to encourage the grassroots conservatives to "liberate the Party from the control of the Beltway insiders who are pushing the Party away from the conservative principles that win elections for Republicans."
Anyone who wants to win the money, however, better hurry, the deadline for submitting ideas/plans is March 8, 2013. Ideas should be submitted via thelibertyprize.com. The winning idea will be published this spring in a book being written by Viguerie titled TAKEOVER.
The author of Conservatives Betrayed: How George W. Bush and Other Big Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause noted that "we conservatives can rebuild the Republican Party into a strong and principled voice for the majority of Americans who believe in, and will vote for, candidates who stand for freedom of the individual, economic opportunity, and traditional values."
Last month at the National Review Summit under the theme, "The Future of Conservatism," speakers agreed that conservatives were having a problem not with their message but their messaging and needed to do a better job of communicating their values.
Mia Love, mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, told the group: "I believe that conservative values, they are the right values. We don't need to change them, we need to change the way we message them."
Former Congressman Artur Davis, who switched from the Democratic to the Republican Party recently, also told the group that conservatives had been "better at talking to each other, than talking to people who are not like us."
It was also noted that conservatives and Republicans in general had done a poor job of connecting with some demographic groups like Hispanics and middle-class swing voters who were a key to winning the last election. The group was also urged to explore the gamut of concerns of women voters to better understand how to connect with them.
Last year's Republican vice presidential nominee, Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), urged the group to exercise wisdom in governing. "We have to find the good in every situation – and choose the best means to achieve it. We have to make decisions anchored in reality – and take responsibility for the consequences…," he said.

There are events in our lives that cause us to pause and question if and where there exists goodness in the world. My recent discovery of the break-in in the ARMC chapel was one such event. I was left disheartened at the loss of so many beautifully blessed prayer shawls.
My somber state was not to last as I was soon to be blessed and my spirit renewed by the faith and goodness of the people of Burlington and Alamance County. As soon as people read of our loss my phone began to ring. The first call came from a woman saying, �I like to knit and want to help replenish your shawls.� She arrived within minutes with several lovely prayer shawls. Churches called and delivered stacks of shawls with written blessings of God�s care attached. Individuals came bringing shawls and blankets they had received in their own time of need, offering them as a blessing to be shared with whomever might receive them.
As I took phone calls and watched our prayer shawl supply replenish, I felt for myself the love and compassion of strangers who share God�s blessings through a skein of yarn, a hook or needle, and, prayers of blessings for those who are hurting.
Thank you to each one who gave that the chaplains at ARMC can continue to offer beautiful prayer shawls as tangible expressions of God�s love and presence to the patients and families we serve. We are each blessed to minister in a community with such heart.
The Rev. Jackie Allen is director of Pastoral Care and Counseling at Alamance Regional Medical Center.

RELEASE US - a short film on police brutality by Charles Shaw
500 innocent Americans are murdered by police every year (USDOJ). 5,000 since 9/11, equal to the number of US soldiers lost in Iraq.
In 1994 the US Government passed a law authorizing the Pentagon to donate surplus Cold War era military equipment to local police departments.
In the 20 years since, weaponry designed for use on a foreign battlefield, has been handed over for use on American streets...against American citizens.
The "War on Drugs" and the "War on Terror" replaced the Cold War with billions in funding and dozens of laws geared towards this new "war" against its own citizens.
This militarization of the police force has created what is being called an "epidemic of police brutality" sweeping the nation.

It is widely recognized that knowledge‑based resources and assets are fundamental to performance improvement and organizational value creation. Limited progress has been made, however, in valuing and managing organizational knowledge in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) operating in the renewable energy sector. This paper provides first insights of an ongoing research project managed by the Intellectual Assets Centre in Scotland, in order to support the adoption of knowledge asset management initiatives for driving the improvement of value creation mechanisms of SMEs operating in the renewable energy sector. We employ research related to resource‑based and knowledge‑based theory and performance measurement and management, to gain a better understanding of how Scottish SMEs operating in the renewable energy industry acquire and manage knowledge assets in their bid to improve performance and value creation. Using a sample of organizations from the Scottish renewable energy sector we draw first insights about their perception and orientation to identifying, measuring and managing knowledge, and to qualitatively identify a feasible set of knowledge resources and assets potentially driving performance improvement. The first evidence indicates an awareness of the relevance of the knowledge‑based factors, and engagement in knowledge acquisition and creation processes. These firms possess a good endowment of knowledge assets, with significant internal knowledge management processes, but also external inflows from agents such as firms and education or research institutions. However, the visible lag in the exploitation of knowledge assets and processes, together with observed under‑financing of the sector and difficulty in accessing skilled labor, indicates the need for efforts to better address specific needs of renewable energy sector SMEs.

Hey, this really is "laterally stiff yet vertically compliant" isn't it?
Finally component designers are seeing sense and designing comfort into components without sacrificing performance. Syntace's reworked P6 seatpost has a new Hi-Flex construction.
Syntace have been making their fantastic P6 seatpost in carbon and plain old 7075 alloy, but recently they've redesigned their well -regarded classic with a one piece carbon shaft and head (the previous carbon version uses a carbon shaft bonded to an alloy head) and call it the P6 Hi Flex. By incorporating the head and shaft together in one piece, Syntace can save weight (carbon is lighter than alloy)and create a seatpost which is able to extend its working length to offer, according to Syntace double the vibration damping of the old P6. Well talk is cheap and manufacturer's claims often not worth the paper it's written on, so is this going to work in real life?
Anyone who bags a lot of miles will tell you that often it's not any lack of fitness that forces you to turn for home on long rides, but the accumulation of road vibrations into your lower back. It's a slow insidious burn, small vibrations built up mile on mile, which work up from your wheels moving straight through the seat stays and into your traditionally uniformly stiff seatpost and upwards into the saddle where a couple of millimetres of foam padding is your only relief. You can wear good shorts, and keep your butt in and out of the saddle. You can't avoid it, but you can reduce the negative effect with the Hi Flex.
OK, there are several ways you can benefit, firstly there's the post ability to help you with actual impacts. Stuff like those 'hidden' pot holes which normally unseat you and jar your back. With the Hi Flex you'll still wince, but only for the pain caused to your tyre and wheel rim. You might still get bumped off the saddle, but not as much as with a regular post. If this sounds like a very low level win, stay with this... there's a bigger win. It's the smaller less obvious vibrations, the ones which we feel through the chamois, the ones which build hour up on hour and eventually germinate into back ache and numb bum which the Hi Flex really helps with.
The clever stuff is partly in the lay-up; the type and directional orientation of the carbon fibres and partly in the internal shaping of the shaft. Syntace ovalise the internal shape with the oval shape running perpendicular to the frame, this invites a tendency to flex, but crucially only in the rearwards direction. Before you worry it's millimetres we're dealing with, not some sloppy feeling fairground ride or one that can in any way be described as suspension. Under maximum load the Hi Flex post will deflect around 20mm, though mostly it's going to be between 3 and 10mm. Initially you'll feel the saddle tilting very slightly, though because the movement is small and happening very rapidly all the time it very quickly feels completely normal.
The Hi Flex offers a subtle change in ride sensation – one of extra smoothness. Our 400mm 27.2mm diameter 226g test sample gave a feel like a slightly bigger, softer rear tyre – only without the associated squirmy handling. Think about it in terms of running a 25 or 28c tyre with 20psi less pressure in place of your regular 23c 120psi rubber. Added comfort without reducing the net performance. It's a palpable net effect. You'll sense it within a few miles and definitely feel the benefit at the tail end of a long multi hour ride.
Once you realise that using a seatpost like the HiFlex can allow you to remain seated and focused on the smooth consistent turning of the pedals, rather than trying to ease off the saddle to relieve the dull ache behind your jersey pockets, you'll be sold. It's the same reasoning behind using flexible engine mounts in cars. Except you are the big heavy engine, you need to be able to be better isolated from the chassis. The P6 Hi Flex allows exactly that.
Other features of the Hi Flex are as per the existing P6 and are worth a recap as they're some of the finer design elements of any seatposts. The saddle clamp uses extra long 52mm lower rail guides and super short 32mm upper rail guides made from cold forged alloy. This configuration gives maximum support for saddle rails while also providing unmatched fore/aft saddle positioning options. The saddle clamps can be adjusted with a 30 degree range, beating most other posts with ease. Add in properly offset heads to the twin adjuster bolts which means you can make fine adjustments without the tool hitting the shaft, and you can see why P6 owners covet their seat posts.
Available in 27.2, 30.9, 31.6mm diameters and in 300, 400 or 480mm lengths, Syntace offer the P6 Hi Flex with a satisfyingly long 10 year guarantee, something they can do with confidence thanks to extensive in house testing which uses leading edge test equipment (Syntace's testing is recognised as being some of the most rigorous in the cycling industry). We've never seen a broken one, or even a bent one for that matter. The result is a seatpost that simply makes riding more pleasurable and we think improves ride performance – hey that can't be bad.
Effectively damps road vibration, looks awesome and still offers unbeatable levels of adjustment.

Good write up.
Can Alex/Road CC tell us whereI can actually buy one of these at £140? Cube's website, which you post as the contact, doesn't list them, and Syntace's website http://www.syntace.com/index.cfm?pid=3&pk=2033 quote €218 base price (approx £190). Thanks
Your local dealer can also supply the bar. Oneway Distribution BV in The Netherlands is responsible for the distribution of Syntace in the UK. Ask you local dealer to contact this Distributor to get the bar. Easy! http://www.o-w-d.nl/contact/
I disagree with this review. I use the 31.6 mm one with it extended to the max extension line, and there's no detectable flex at all. Also I didn't notice any improvement in ride over the stock Zipp aluminum seatpost.
The Syntace Hi-Flex is a fine seatpost, but flex it does not, at least not to a detectable degree.

Some information regarding our Juices
GMP Production Lab
Currently we are the only SHOP in Florida that is offering 100% synthetic nicotine in our juices. We offer in both currently.
Why synthetic nicotine?
Synthetic Nicotine is Nicotine without the Tobacco. It is the purest and cleanest Nicotine solution in the market that is only made by the combination of Molecular Chemistry and not derived from Tobacco leaf, stem or waste dust. It eliminates the Tobacco impurities which make the Nicotine feel and smell harsher. Now, you can expect essentially tasteless and odorless Nicotine which can help boost the E-liquid flavor profiles while still providing the same biological impact as Tobacco-derived Nicotine. Indulge in a new experience.
No Carcinogenic or other tobacco combustion substances.
– Highest Purity ever available in the market
– Cleanest and Smoothest Feeling and Sensation
– Same biological impact as TDN (Tobacco-derived Nicotine)
– Flavors are essentially improved, no more harsh or bitter E-liquid taste.
– No foul Nicotine smell and the phenomenon of burning charcoal for atomization is dramatically reduced.
Our juices go through strict QA and testing.
We have a proprietary mixing technique that takes longer than your average juice manufacturing. Our juice goes through QA testing once it is complete. If it does not pass our QA it is immediately discarded and an investigation is opened to see what may have caused the issue. When engineering our flavors we take our time.
The Window
See the entire process of juice making from a window installed into our lab. You can see from start to finish. Mixing, portion, label, package.
We take pride in our juice!
• If we won't vape it why should we expect you?
• A single batch of out juice takes over 2 hours to mix.
• Proprietary mixing system that helps our juice absorb insane amounts of flavor
• Over 80 hours per flavor of testing to ensure flavoring and mixture
• Constantly taking in customer reviews and suggestions.
Why are your juices cheap?
They are not cheap they are inexpensive. We created this shop to help people stay off tobacco and work their way to freedom. Why pay $23.00 for a 30ml. or even $18.99 for a 30ml? We do a single 30ml for $10.00 or two for $15.99 (60ml). They come in glass bottles with child safety and tamper seal. We believe it should not cost more than smoking to quit.
Some information for you on certifications –
This standard does not define the actual quality of your product or service. This standard helps you achieve consistent results and continually improve the process. ISO 9001 is a quality management system and there are no requirements to have one. It helps you document how a business will run its overall operations.
If you ever hear someone say their juice is amazing because it's ISO9 or ISO 9001. That has absolutely nothing to do with the clean room or the production of it. It clearly deals with organization and management with documentation.
Source – http://the9000store.com/what-is-iso-9001.aspx
ISO 9001:2008 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product that meets customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for continual improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
All requirements of ISO 9001:2008 are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size and product provided.
Where any requirement(s) of ISO 9001:2008 cannot be applied due to the nature of an organization and its product, this can be considered for exclusion.
Where exclusions are made, claims of conformity to ISO 9001:2008 are not acceptable unless these exclusions are limited to requirements within Clause 7, and such exclusions do not affect the organization's ability, or responsibility, to provide product that meets customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

José Mourinho and Didier Drogba meet again when Galatasaray face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday night, with the coach insisting that the pair have formed a bond that goes deeper than football.
"I don't say Didier was the greatest player I have worked with because I have had so many great players," Mourinho said. "But he was a great player, a great friend and somebody who will be part of my life forever. He would say the exact same about me. We created the kind of emotional links that are more than football."
Asked if his willingness to talk so highly of Drogba and of Galatasaray's playmaker Wesley Sneijder, whom he coached when he won the 2010 Champions League with Internazionale, was a tactic used to "soften" his opponents in the buildup to this quarter-final, Mourinho said: "Maybe you know of a culture where you crawl up to people, where that is an art, but that is not my culture. My culture is a culture where you are not afraid to say your true feelings, where you do not have to hide.
"They were my players, we love each other and we respect each other. But we have completely conflicting objectives. They want to win and I want to win. I have to make help my players to make sure that they do not have a great game.
"They are two great players in my career, two important players. But now they are not my players – they are my friends."
Mourinho refused to be drawn on his future, postponing discussion about his next move until the end of this season – even though his contract at Madrid runs until 2016.
In the buildup to this game it was confirmed that a pro-Mourinho demonstration planned by some Real Madrid fans for Saturday had been cancelled. The demonstration had been designed to show Mourinho that he has the backing of supporters and persuade him not to leave the club. Mourinho said he was grateful for the gesture but that he did not like the idea and, asked again about his future, he refused to commit himself beyond the end of the season. "I am not important," he said.
"I appreciate [the demonstration] but I don't like it," he said.
"Football is what happens in the stadium, support should be shown in the stadium and it should be shown to the team not to specific people. I don't like individual support because football is a collective sport. The club is more important than us. The support that I really want are the players in the pitch and they are the ones that have to fight and win for us, that's the support that I really want.
"I am not important. The results are important for Real Madrid, that's the most important thing. That is what matters, not me and not my future. We have two possible objectives: the Super Cup is too small to feed a club like Madrid but we have the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. Let's see if we can finish the season in a way that is worthy of a club this size. At the end of the season, we'll see what will happen. But I repeat: what matters is Real Madrid."
Among the points of conflicts that has characterised Mourinho's time at Real Madrid has been his difficult relationship with Iker Casillas and the confrontation that has created with parts of the media, who have come out in vociferous support of Spain's World Cup winning captain.
Casillas has been given the all-clear by doctors following a broken finger but Mourinho has not included him in the squad for this match. And when the coach was asked by a radio journalist considered close to Casillas about the fact that Madrid have kept only one clean sheet in the past 12 games without the captain, he saw it as a leading question and pulled out a piece of paper and quoted the reporter's words back at him from a previous era at Madrid.
"This goalkeeper [Diego López, Casillas's replacement] is playing in a way that only someone who is not impartial could criticise," Mourinho said. "I have some words of yours from some years ago."
He then read: "Player X plays by decree. I do not accept players playing by decree or others not playing however well or badly they are playing. A coach cannot do that. A player cannot be starter because of his status. The medals he has won in the past cannot mean that he is in the lineup. It should not be a problem for the players who aren't the best form to play, no matter what they are called. We should play with those on the best form, not those with the longest history."
Mourinho folded up the paper, looked at the journalist and concluded: "We all know that you are not impartial in your analysis."

The TLE208x series of JFET-input operational amplifiers more than double the bandwidth and triple the slew rate of the TL07x and TL08x families of BiFET operational amplifiers. The TLE208x also have wider supply-voltage rails, increasing the dynamic-signal range for BiFET circuits to ±19 V. On-chip zener trimming of offset voltage yields precision grades for greater accuracy in dc-coupled applications. The TLE208x are pin-compatible with lower performance BiFET operational amplifiers for ease in improving performance in existing designs.
BiFET operational amplifiers offer the inherently higher input impedance of the JFET-input transistors, without sacrificing the output drive associated with bipolar amplifiers. This makes these amplifiers better suited for interfacing with high-impedance sensors or very low level ac signals. They also feature inherently better ac response than bipolar or CMOS devices having comparable power consumption.
Because BiFET operational amplifiers are designed for use with dual power supplies, care must be taken to observe common-mode input-voltage limits and output voltage swing when operating from a single supply. DC biasing of the input signal is required and loads should be terminated to a virtual ground node at mid-supply. Texas Instruments TLE2426 integrated virtual ground generator is useful when operating BiFET amplifiers from single supplies.
The TLE208x are fully specified at ±15 V and ±5 V. For operation in low-voltage and/or single-supply systems, Texas Instruments LinCMOS families of operational amplifiers (TLC- and TLV-prefix) are recommended. When moving from BiFET to CMOS amplifiers, particular attention should be paid to slew rate and bandwidth requirements and output loading.
For BiFET circuits requiring low noise and/or tighter dc precision, the TLE207x offer the same ac response as the TLE208x with more stringent dc and noise specifications.

weight loss
After 3 days straight of eating exclusively oatmeal, gum and flødeboller (chocolate-covered marshmallow cream balls), I made it below my target weight. I was aiming for 50.1 and this morning I weighed 49.8! It took just over one month. So those of you who guessed one month were the closest.
I guess it goes to show that it's not what you eat that makes you lose weight, but how many calories. This was also the result of a study from today's New England Journal (http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/360/9/923). It looks like the percentage of fat vs. protein vs. carbs has little if any bearing on how much weight one loses. It's simply adherence to calorie reduction. Interestingly, higher education and income may actually have more of a bearing on success than the diet one choses (http://www.ajph.org/cgi/content/abstract/95/9/1539?ijkey=008854a87208e56ec0c7b8ded8aa33fc193d3e5b&keytype2=tf_ipsecsha). Of course I did feel like crap after three days of that diet.
Though I'm happy about the weight loss, I keep thinking about how step-daughter told SR that when she moves to Denmark she promises she'll be as thin as me. There is a fine line between trying to be healthy and a fast runner and being obsessed. This line woulnd't be so important if I didn't have kids. It is astounding the impact we have on our kids. There was an interesting article in the NY Times about orthorexia http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/26/health/nutrition/26food.html?_r=1&em (when one becomes obsessed with "righteous eating") and the affect parents with orthorexia have on their kids. Having a kid with an anxiety disorder seems like a slightly worse problem than eating a Kit Kat bar.

Hi there! I saw an article on the study you mentioned. It surprised me that people found it so surprising. I've lost 37lbs so far using the WW system and the one thing they preach is that it's not so much WHAT you eat but HOW MUCH. If you want to use your points on beer and pizza every day, go ahead. You'll lose weight, you'll also feel like ass but you will lose weight. I tried the Atkins thing and by day 3 I was ready to kill someone for an apple! I felt tired, depressed and deprived. Now I've lost this weight eating pretty well what I want and just keeping tabs on how many calories I take in through the day.
As a side note, I was wondering if you had any pointers for an ex couch potato who is interested in starting running. Now that I've become much more active (and have lessbulk to move around) I find myself envious of those people I see gliding down the sidewalk in the morning. I want to know what that feels like! Any tips?

I'm on day three of making a concerted effort to drop some weight and your picture is making me salivate. Ugh. Good job on seeing your number. You're right on about being careful about what you teach kids. Eeeks.

Yeah, I'm so worried about making sure I don't impart my own body image issues to Angeline. It's part of the reason I want to be at my goal weight and just maintaining by the time she's old enough to know what's going on, so I am not bringing up weight, only how foods can enhance life and athletic performance.
The thing about the Calories... the odd thing for me, though, is since I started doing clean eating (completely eliminating processed foods, eating every few hours), I've lost weight very quickly despite the fact I'm eating more Calories than I was. So my personal experience hasn't reflected... I saw they didn't really have a clean eating option in the study, either. Calorie counting used to leave me lightheaded and still not losing weight, or barely. Now I feel awesome and the weight is falling off... So I'll stick to this regardless of the studies. :)

Those marshmallow cream balls are making my mouth water! I wonder if you can get those in the USA...

I remember those marshmallow chocolate things from a great chocolate store in Brugge, Belgium. Yumy. I think it's funny that people would rather count calories and control portions rather than just eat healthy: lots of green veggies, fruits, whole wheat breads, beans, lentils and limiting meat, dairy, etc. Low fat, high fiber... it all makes sense to me!

We've already seen the dorifto-style finale to the 2012 Global Rallycross Championship at SEMA, but we hadn't noticed that Ken Block was on fire for a while there. Much as we know him for all his Gymkhana hoonage, sometimes it's his rally driver qualities that take over.

An interesting and mysterious void
Springfield gets a new war memorial, but the benefactor remains anonymous
To many, Springfield is a one-war town.
One needs only to consider the internationally venerated Lincoln Tomb to understand why. This is, after all, the home of the leader who preserved the Union during the nation's darkest conflict.
In recent years, memorials to Illinoisans who died in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, as well as plans for a World War II memorial at Oak Ridge Cemetery, have fulfilled the dreams of thousands of families who sought recognition of the sacrifices made by their loved ones.
But one war -- "The War to End All Wars" -- remained unremembered. Until recently, Springfield had no fitting memorial to those who died in the First World War.
In October, the void was filled by a private, anonymously funded effort erected on city-owned property at the southeast corner of First Street and North Grand Avenue. The site is popularly known as "Bob Vose Corner" in honor of the former alderman who spearheaded a drive to extensively improve Monument Avenue to its current appearance.
The memorial, a "Sangamon County Honor Roll," is dedicated to 113 soldiers from Sangamon County who died from 1917 through 1919 of injuries suffered in World War I. Though the war ended in 1918, it includes names of those who died in the year after the Armistice.
While the names of the almost-forgotten soldiers are listed on the new memorial, the name of the individual responsible for the tribute remains anonymous by request, a circumstance Ward 5 Alderman Joe Bartolomucci calls "an interesting and mysterious void."
The memorial's location outside Oak Ridge Cemetery, while strangely incongruous on the surface, is easier to understand.
"A gentleman who wanted to remain anonymous," Bartolomucci recounts, "got in contact with me last May or June, wanting the city's help finding some property to be donated for a World War I memorial with just the Sangamon County war veterans put on it."
The search for a site did not go public because the benefactor's desire for secrecy. "We did not look at any property, and we wanted to put it as close as possible to Oak Ridge," Bartolomucci says.
"He wanted to put it at Bob Vose corner, the southeast corner of First and North Grand. Some people from [the Department of] Public Works had reservations about that site because we wanted people to have parking available to it. We didn't want people parking across the street at Walgreens or in the nearby laundromat lot."
LuAnn Johnson, executive director of Oak Ridge Cemetery, met with the anonymous patron last spring. "I explained to him that the Korean War Memorial, the Vietnam War Memorial and the coming World War II Memorial were dedicated to veterans [throughout] the entire state.
"If we had one county monument, we might get requests for another hundred county monuments," Johnson says. "We wanted a good spot in close proximity to Oak Ridge Cemetery on property that we knew would always be maintained." The staff of Oak Ridge maintains that corner.
Bartolmucci says, "We were looking at a piece of property -- a block of property at Eighth at Adams. We thought maybe the county could donate a piece of that parking lot, three or four parking spaces and make a green space.
"I thought we had a pretty good spot, but apparently the gentleman didn't think so. The last time I heard from the gentleman was July or August," the alderman says. "Much to my surprise, the monument was erected at Bob Vose Corner. As far as I know, the design of the memorial is the gentleman's own."
The decision to permit the placement of the monument on city property did not require action by City Council, according to Ernie Slottag, the mayor's spokesman. "It was a mayoral prerogative," he says.
Arnold Monument Company produced the monument. Manager Mary Green explained that the memorial is made of barre granite from Vermont. The anonymous patron "started the process in May." Engraving was done locally. It took about six months to produce and erect. The globe on the top, also made of barre granite, was "turned" to the shape and the oceans were painted over the granite.
Bob Vose served on City Council for 12 years. During that time, he pushed hard for a renovation of the approach to Oak Ridge Cemetery along Monument Avenue. "It took us about seven years to get the money and do it," Vose remembers. "After I left office, I've raised money to get the banners up, planted flowers every year, and improved the signage." Vose had no role in the acquisition of the "praying hands" sculpture, which was originally the focal point of the corner. "The Daughters of the American Revolution had that. The statue kind of fell apart and it was removed."
Regarding the World War I addition to 'his' corner, Vose says, "The director of the cemetery called me and asked if I'd have any objections. I said I didn't."
Today, in place of the former sculpture, an antique-looking street light stands in the center of the base that once held the praying hands sculpture. The original dedicatory plaque to that sculpture remains, along with a lesser-known quote from the "Great Emancipator." Asked about the apparent incongruity of the blend of the street light "sculpture," the Lincoln quotation, and the new memorial, Vose says he considers the corner of Monument at North Grand worth developing over the long term.
Though he noted his satisfaction with the new monument, he added his wish for long-term continuity of vision. "We just don't [want to] put a little thing here and a little thing there. I just talked to the mayor about getting some money together for a phased 20-year plan."

No-contest clauses: leaving beneficiaries in terror
The concept appeals to the old adage that "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
Imagine that you have two wonderful sweet daughters and a third daughter who has been terrible to you, ungrateful and wasteful of all of the money that you have advanced her. So, you draft your will to leave everything to the first two daughters and nothing to daughter No. 3.
Further picture that your will has a no-contest clause stating that anyone who challenges your will gets nothing. Daughter No. 3 is outraged when, upon your death, she learns what has happened, and decides to go to a lawyer for help and advice about contesting the will.
The lawyer will tell her to go ahead and sue because if she loses she will get nothing, which is the same amount she is already getting under the will. If she wins, she will take her intestate share.
Essentially, she has nothing to lose in a will contest, beyond legal fees.
To be effective, the no-contest clause must put devilish daughter No. 3 in fear of losing something. And the bigger the potential award if the will is invalidated, the larger the bequest must be for the no-contest clause to have its intended effect.
A sample no-contest clause might express the testator's, i.e., the will writer's, desire that his or her estate be settled as quickly as possible and without disagreement over the gifts made in the will. It also frequently provides that if a specific beneficiary — or any beneficiary — under the will directly or indirectly contests a provision of the will, then the gift made to that person under the will should be distributed as if he or she had predeceased the testator.
Many testators wish to disinherit one or more people in their wills. However, explicit disinheritance may not be the best way to accomplish the goal of making a statement while keeping the scheme of disposition intact.
Anyone who would take a share if the will were invalidated may contest a will. Forgery, lack of due execution or capacity, duress, fraud and undue influence are some of the common grounds for contesting a will or trust.
Those who are angered by a particular gifting plan and who are left nothing in a will have zero to lose by contesting it. A no-contest clause will have very little potency unless the testator is agreeable to making a fairly significant bequest to the prospective contestant.
Such a "baited" no-contest clause puts a potential troublemaker in a bit of a Catch-22. He or she has the choice of taking a guaranteed, but lesser, gift, or risking it all by challenging the will for the chance at a larger share.
Near disinheritance is not the only object of no-contest clauses. Another potential aim is to discourage beneficiaries from instigating expensive litigation against the will. This deterrence effect helps to preserve the estate and the testator's wishes.
No-contest clauses can also help prevent litigation-related disputes among family and friends of the decedent and avoid the airing of the family's dirty laundry in court. All of that can be avoided with a simple will provision.
There are also disadvantages to no-contest clauses. A major one is that they might discourage proceedings that could actually protect the testator and his or her true wishes. For example, enforcing a no-contest clause might hinder a lawsuit that would show the testator's lack of capacity, thereby invalidating the safeguard built into the disposition of property by will.
The foregoing is mitigated somewhat by the fact that the majority of courts will not enforce a no-contest clause if there is probable cause to bring a contest. This reduces the risk to the contestant of bringing a claim if he or she has a colorable basis for doing so. Many courts also narrowly construe no-contest clauses to limit their impact.
Most — but not all — jurisdictions, in the absence of a legitimate ground for contesting the disposition, will uphold no-contest clauses. Michigan law provides that "(a) provision in a will purporting to penalize an interested person for contesting the will … is unenforceable if probable cause exists for instituting proceedings."
Who knew words alone could be so terrifying?

Teaching Notes and Tips
It is helpful to print a copy (or make available on a server) of the three sets of graphs that will be discussed, so that students can look closely at the data, and so that they can take notes on the figures.
Tips: As in all Socratic questioning, give students time to reflect before answering questions, and make an effort to call on different students throughout the class period. Let students know at the beginning of class whether or not you will call on students randomly, or ask for hands to be raised, or both.
Many simple details can cause problems when using Socratic questioning. For example, students might feel that they never are given quite enough time to reflect on the answer before called upon. They might not be able to hear some of the other students' answers, especially in a large classroom. They might find it very challenging to take notes during the questioning and response session, and at least will find it more difficult to take notes than during a traditional lecture/chalk class.
The best way to determine what problems are occurring is to give students a questionnaire after each of the first few classes in which the approach is tried. Ask students directly if they think that you are allowing sufficient time for reflection. Ask if they are concerned about hearing other students' responses, and so forth. Add one question that asks students to make note of any problems not referred to in the questionnaire.
Each student should be able to answer any of the questions that was posed during the Socratic questioning session. A good way to assess what the students have learned from a Socratic questioning class is to give a short quiz in which several of the questions from the previous class are listed. This quiz can be given at the beginning of the next class period. If the class is large and grading frequent quizzes is too burdensome, the questions can be designed with multiple-choice answers.

The Bengals O-Coordinator goes into weirdo mode when he's playing with a lead. Check last weeks game against Baltimore. I think Palmer got a bit nervous after he almost threw another one to his buddy Troy. Their Offense is best when they are behind. The Bengals D is just plain bad, but they are getting to a point now where the turnovers are no longer a fluke. They trade yards for turnovers. I don't like it, but that's what they do.Originally Posted by SteelSD
Ohalate is my own personal Reggie Taylor/Rich Aurilia/Eric Milton/Bob Boone rolled up into one defensive back. I loathe him.
Tab Perry dragged a guy 25 yards, and you want to say he didn't do anything to earn the return? Dude, I respect the hell out of you, but whatever.(which was nothing but the return guy running to the sideline and down the field)
Great game, huge moment. I've watched probably 90-95 percent of all the Bengals games in the last 15 years, I was only 9 in 1990, and thus I can easily say that today is the best I've ever felt about being a Bengals fan.
This is a young team, and today was the changing of the guard. Thank God for Marvin Lewis coming to Cincinnati.

I agree. I love reading your posts Steel, but that remark makes me think there is some serious Bengals hate going on.Originally Posted by Redsfaithful
Regardless, I don't really care. Cincinnati is going to be in the playoffs for the first time in 15 years. I can't express how happy I am right now. We Bengal fans have taken a lot of abuse over the last decade and a half, now it's our turn to crow.
That's how I saw it as well.Originally Posted by Yachtzee
The Bengals obviously are good enough to defeat anybody, but also have enough holes on defense to make it unlikely that they can have a long playoff run. They are probably a year or two away from a serious Super Bowl run; give Marvin Lewis time to construct a defense and the Bengals may truly be a monster.
By the way, Marvin couldn't provide the Reds with some advice, could he?
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
The Steelers are NOT the same team they were this time last year, by any stretch, but that's beside the point. You play the team on the field, not the one from last year or the week before. Winning on the road in the NFL is tough and the Bengals have done a good job of it this year. They are not an elite team yet and I really didn't expect them to win the division this year (did anyone?), but they can play with anyone and have thus far given the NFL best Colts their toughest game. I am pretty well convinced that this team is for real.
What will it take to get into the elite realm? The 'gals are a big Tackle and a couple of quality safeties away from being a Superbowl team.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.

The INTs - yes. But not the fumbles. The Bengals had nothing to do with Parker and Duece having butterfingers.Originally Posted by Playadlc
I'm not trying to rake anything at all from the Bengals or their victory. But just emphasizing that the Steelers, simply from watching the game, fumbled and bumbled this game, and yet still were in it until the end.
I'm glad as all get out they won. A win is a win. But I have this feeling in the back of my mind, regardless of how good they are offensively, that their defense is gonna sink them in the post-season.... and I hope not. They remind me of the Colts 2-3 years ago, who had an awesome offense, but couldn't stop anyone.Pittsburgh is 18-2 with Roethlisberger at QB, and Cincinnati went into Heniz, and won. I don't see how anyone could not be impressed with the Bengals today.

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
I don't think any Bengal fan has any misconception about the defense.
What we're happy about is the fact that they're 9-3.
Explain it away all you want, and then try to it explain it away when they win the division. I couldn't care less.
Are they gonna go deep into the playoffs?
What if they win a shootout or two in the playoffs? Will it be worth less than any other playoff win?
I really don't care if they get bounced in the first round. They're a work in progress, and they're the first team that I've rooted for that has had a winning record in six years. There's no way I can be dissappointed now, and there's no way that any of the naysayers can understand that because because none of you have had to endure fifteen years of losing football like most Bengals fans have.
I'm sorry that your world has been turned upside down now that the Bengals are winning, but you'd better get used to it. They aren't going anywhere for awhile.

I was in England for the first day. I was there for a British Military language school (Arabic). We literally stepped off the plane that afternoon. I ran into a dude I knew at DLI when I was learning German. We decided we were going to find a place to watch that game.Originally Posted by wheels
We were in Beaconsfield. A pretty rural area west of London. The British enlisted club had no ability to show the playoff games (they'd show the Giants-Bills superbowl a few weeks later though). So we asked around. We found out that there was an American Air Force installation in High Wycombe a short distance away. We got directions to the train station and headed over there. We ended up finding the place. Found the club on base and headed in. No luck. They weren't showing the playoff games. So we asked around some more. Turns out there's an American Naval facility in West Ruislip a few towns east of where we were. Back to the train station we went.
(interesting sidebar: British do not refer to 'restrooms' as 'restrooms'; my friend asked one of the few people we saw, it was Sunday evening and traffic was light, where the restroom was. They were befuddled and asked if he was tired).
So we make it to West Ruislip. We look around, but again can not find a place that will have the game on. We finally find somebody that knows for sure where the game will be shown. The US Naval Embassy, downtown London. Back to the train station.
We had asked about how to find the Naval Embassy from the person we talked to in West Ruislip. I don't remember having a particularly difficult time finding it. We showed our ID cards and they let us in without any hassle. The game was on in what I remember being a basement cafeteria. The game was blah. I don't remember the specifics of it much, but just a general frustration with the performance that day.
After the game we went back out and wandered around London for a bit. We headed down to the tube station and were quite surprised to find that they were closed for the night (seems is was around 1AM London time). Well. That's going to be a problem. Maybe the trains are still running? Nope. No luck there either. Classes start at 8 AM. We are, apparently stranded in London. No "chain of command" as there are just 20 American students (no officers) and an as yet unknown British military "way" of doing things. We ended up, after carefully considering our options, hailing a taxi and paying the $100 bucks or so in fares back to Beaconsfield. We were a bit concerned that we would get in serious trouble if we didn't make it back.
Maybe I'm the Bengals goat. Maybe they'll never make the playoffs until I make it back to that Naval Embassy. I'm taking donations.

Rain Helps Kansas Crops but More is Needed
KSCB News - August 12, 2014 5:52 am
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) – A new report says Kansas crops need more moisture despite widespread rain over most of the state last week.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that subsoil moisture is short to very short across 51 percent of Kansas. Topsoil moisture conditions are only a bit better with 40 percent of the state still short of what is needed.
Stock water supplies are adequate or surplus across 75 percent of the state.
The agency rated the condition of the Kansas corn crop as 14 percent poor to very poor, 31 percent fair, 42 percent good and 13 percent excellent.
Sorghum is rated as 11 percent poor to very poor, 33 percent fair, 48 percent good and 8 percent excellent.
