Visitors going to Vietnam must show a valid Vietnam visa before being allowed into the country. That's easier said than done: compared to getting visas for other Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam is a tougher nut to crack.
The rules and costs vary widely depending on the issuing embassy or consulate. The Vietnamese consulate in Battambang, Cambodia, may charge about US$35 for a single-entry visa with 2-3 days processing, while the Vietnam embassy in Washington, DC, takes up to 7 days and US$90 to do the same thing.
The information presented here may change without prior notice, so double-check with the nearest Vietnamese embassy before applying for your visa.
For other important Vietnam travel info for first-time visitors, read our explainers of Vietnam Travel Information and Money in Vietnam.
Three Ways to Get a Vietnam Visa
Most travelers to Vietnam – including American citizens – can apply for a Vietnam visa using three different channels: Vietnamese embassies; online through the e-visa; or written approval letter for a visa upon arrival, which you can get from a travel agency prior to departure.
1) Vietnamese embassies. Go to a nearby Vietnamese embassy prior to travel to secure a visitor's visa good for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, six months, or one year.
In the United States, you may apply at the Vietnamese embassy in Washington, DC if you're on the East Coast, or at the Vietnamese consulate in San Francisco if you're on the West Coast. For contact details on these and other Vietnam embassies, consult this official page for a full list (offsite).
To get a Vietnam tourist visa from your nearest Vietnam embassy or consulate, download the visa form from the local embassy's website and fill it up.
At the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in the U.S., you'll be required to present:
Your original passport – valid for six months more after the planned trip, and with vacant pages for the full-page visa stamp
One completed visa application form
A money order, certified check, or Cashier's check payable to the processing mission. The Embassy asks that you call them to ask for the current fees.
Prepaid return envelope, if you want the visa to be returned by mail (use USPS or prepaid return FedEx label)
More details are available on their website: "Visa Application Process", Embassy of Vietnam in Washington, DC.
1) Online for the Vietnam e-visa. Save yourself the long queue – apply for an online-only 30-day Vietnam e-visa. The e-visa option is available to citizens of 46 countries, including United States citizens.
Vietnam e-Visas are valid for the same terms as tourist visas - thirty days' maximum stay or 24 hours' minimum stay, valid for 90 days from date of issue. E-Visa holders can enter through the following points of entry:
Eight international airports – Noi Bai Airport in Hanoi; respective airports servicing Haiphong, Khanh Hoa, Da Nang, Hue, Phu Quoc, Can Tho (Mekong Delta) and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)
Seven sea ports – Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Nha Trang, Haiphong, Hon Gai, Da Nang, Quy Nhon and Vung Tau
Five Laos border crossings – Bo Y, Cha Lo, Cau Treo, Lao Bao and Nam Can
Five Cambodia border crossings – Ha Tien, Moc Bai, Song Tien, Tinh Bien and Xa Mat
Three China border crossings – Huu Nghi, Lao Cai and Mong Cai
To apply for a Vietnam e-visa , visit the Vietnam e-visa government website (evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn) where you'll be asked to upload a scanned image of your passport data page, and a separate head shot. You'll be sent a registration code (a reference number you can use to check if the visa has been approved) and asked to pay US$25 for the e-visa fee. (The fee is nonrefundable.)
You will not be emailed the resulting approval – you'll need to visit the site again to check the status of your application using your registration code.
Once your e-visa is approved, print this to present to the immigration authorities when you enter Vietnam.
3) Visa on arrival. A knowledgeable Vietnam travel agency may be able to secure a Vietnam visa on arrival for you at an additional cost, with minimum headache.
Ask a travel agency for a "visa approval letter". (Check out this article on how to find a travel agent before searching for an agency to help.) You can complete the relevant forms and pay for them online, receiving your visa approval letter in your email inbox a few days later. Print the letter out and present this as proof to the airlines and the visa on arrival folks at the airport.
When you touch down in Vietnam, look for the visa on arrival office, and go there prior to queuing up for immigration. Show your visa approval letter, pay the visa processing fee (in US dollars or Vietnam dong). A visa stamp will be put in your passport after payment.
Vietnam Visa Exemptions
Certain classes of tourists do not need to secure a visa prior to visiting Vietnam.
Citizens from ASEAN countries are permitted to enter without applying for a visa, and other countries have made similar arrangements for their citizens.
Citizens of the following countries may stay, visa-free, for no more than 30 days: Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore
Citizens of the Philippines may stay, visa-free, for no more than 21 days.
Citizens of the following countries may stay, visa-free, for no more than 15 days: Denmark, Finland, Japan, Norway, Russia, South Korea, Sweden
Citizens of Brunei may stay, visa-free, for no more than 14 days.
Vietnamese-American citizens or foreigners married to Vietnamese citizens may apply for a 5-Year Visa Exemption, which permits entry and up to 90 days continuous stays even without a visa. The document is valid for five years.
Downloadable forms and more information can be found at this site: mienthithucvk.mofa.gov.vn
Extending your Stay in Vietnam
Previously, travelers were permitted to extend their visas while within Vietnamese borders. Not anymore - to apply for an extension, you must leave Vietnam and apply for your extension at a Vietnamese embassy or consulate.
If you are not sure how much time you'll need to travel through Vietnam, apply for a 90-day visa at the outset.
Travelers who enter Vietnam through visa-free access may not enter Vietnam again visa-free unless 30 days have elapsed since their last visa-free visit.
Vietnam's Strict Enforcement of Visa Rules
Jason D. of Vietnam Visa Center warns that the authorities in Vietnam are quite strict about overstaying tourists. "Overstaying your visa is a big problem here," explains Jason. "Even overstaying your visa by a day will involve a costly fine.
"If someone overstays their visa and tries to exit the country overland, many travelers will be asked to go back to the airport and sort out the issue with the immigration authorities there," warns Jason. "The immigration officers may be lenient but others may charge anywhere from US$30 - US$60 a day."
If you're not sure how long you'll need to travel around Vietnam, Jason suggests that you get a longer-term visa to begin with. "Getting a three-month visa - multiple or single - would allow travelers plenty of time to get around Vietnam without worrying about overstaying," he explains.
Vietnam's Visa Fees
The fees charged for a Vietnam visa vary widely from embassy to embassy; the Washington DC embassy advises that you call them to inquire as to the visa fee at present.
Confusingly, Vietnam visas are levied two different fees: the visa fee and the visa processing fee. The visa fee varies from embassy to embassy, but the visa processing fee is covered by Circular 190, issued 2012, which prescribes the following rates:
US$80 for one-month, single-entry visa
US$135 for one-month, multiple-entry visa
US$110 for three-month, single-entry visa
US$160 for three-month, multiple-entry visa
US$180 for six-month, multiple-entry visa
US$220 for one-year, multiple-entry visa
If applying by mail, enclose a self-addressed postage-paid envelope for your passport's return trip. (The Vietnamese Embassy recommends you use a self-addressed pre-paid FedEx Shipping Label with effective FedEx account number, or a pre-paid US Postal Office service envelope).
Vietnam Visa Tips
Want to get a Vietnam visa faster and cheaper than you can get it in the States? Get it from an embassy at a neighboring Southeast Asian country. If you're entering Vietnam from elsewhere in Southeast Asia, that country's Vietnam embassy may be able to process your visa quicker and more cheaply than you ever could in the U.S. The Vietnamese embassy in Bangkok, Thailand is a popular source of Vietnam visas for many travelers.
Take note: the rules are different from embassy to embassy. While the consulates in the U.S. permit you to apply for longer-term visas, that's not necessarily true of every Vietnamese embassy or consulate. "Some consulates in Southeast Asia only provide a two-week visa for Vietnam," says Vietnam Visa Center's Jason D., "and prices from consulate to consulate vary a great deal."
Don't start the application process until your travel plans are are sure to push through. The official forms require you to state your ports of arrival and departure, and it's far too much trouble to change this at the last minute.
Allow plenty of time for the embassy to process your visa. Don't file for your visa at the last minute.
Vietnam embassies and consulates are closed on Vietnamese holidays too, so take that into account before visiting.
Visitors to Vietnam must finish an entry/exit form and a customs declaration in duplicate. The yellow copy will be given back to you, and you must keep this safe with your passport. You will be required to present this when you leave.
If you're departing Vietnam overland, get a visa that sticks to your passport, not a loose-leaf visa that is only lightly attached to your documents. The latter visas are often removed by Vietnamese officials when you cross the border, leaving you with no evidence of exiting Vietnam. This has caused trouble for passengers, particularly those making the crossing into Laos.

First class postage will jump to 55 cents, prompting purchases of Forever stamps beforehand.
Some people may wake up to a bit of a surprise Monday morning: The cost of mailing a first-class letter will increase by 5 cents.
Based on the comments of people asked what effect higher prices will have, many will be surprised.
"I was not. What's it going to?" Stephanie Mason of Abilene asked.
Most people responded in similar fashion, and those who were aware of an upcoming increase were not aware of when it would take effect.
One important note: Forever stamps are good for either price; their value increases along with the postage rate.
There was no mention of anyone stocking up on stamps going into the increase.
Those interviewed did not see much effect on them personally because of the increase.
► "I use it maybe once every six months or so." – Verneicia Allen of Fort Worth, a student at Texas Tech School of Public Health in Abilene.
► "It's been awhile since I've used it." – Nathaniel Herrin, Abilene.
► "Not too often, unless I have to send a registered letter." – Melisa Guerrero, who lives in the Rio Grande valley but is working in Abilene.
Jana Davis of Abilene had a different take.
She does send occasional cards or letters.
Abilene attorney Chris Carnohan wasn't sure the price increase would be helpful.
"Usually price increases don't have the desired effect. That dampens demand, and they need more demand as opposed to less," he said.
Negative reaction, however, was minimal.
So, whenever your supply of Forever stamps runs out, don't be surprised at the post office when you purchase more.
What's going up, or down?


2009 Volkswagen Jetta Owners Manual – The Sportwagen system style and diesel-fueled TDI engine introduction for your 2009 VW Jetta. Unlike the previous-generation Jetta's TDI, this stronger diesel engine is actually 50-state qualified in terms of emissions. Additional modifications in the Jetta array put balance controls, heated seats and heated up washer nozzles put as common products. The recommended navigation program is substantially enhanced to include a touchscreen interface and a 30GB drive that is hard.
The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta will come in sedan and Sportwagen body designs. The sedan is available in SE, S, SEL, TDI and Wolfsburg Edition trim degrees. The Sportwagen will come in SE, S, TDI and SEL trims.
The Jetta S features 16-inch steel rims, heated up decorative mirrors and washer nozzles, air-conditioning, cruise regulation, keyless entryway, a tilt/telescoping steering line, eight-way-adjustable front side seats with power recline, heated front side seats, velour furniture, a 60/40-split back seat and an eight-speaker stereo with single-CD player and reliable jack that is audio. The Jetta SE contributes 16-inch alloy wheels (optional on S), a rear seat armrest, a sunroof (sedan only, elective on S and TDI), leatherette vinyl upholstery, a leather-wrapped controls and shift knob (sedan only) and a 10-speaker music with a six-CD changer and satellite radio.
A multifunction steering wheel and a trip computer on top of this, the Jetta SEL sedan adds 17-inch wheels. Jetta Sportwagen SELs also have a sprightly turbocharged engine, dual-zone automated weather controls, a 12-way power drivers seat with memory applications, a leather-wrapped tyre and move knob, Homelink and improved speakers.
You can find three engines readily available for the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. All S and SE cut values, along with the SEL sedan, is powered by a 2.5-liter engine that is five-cylinder at 170 horse power and 177 pound-feet of torque. The common transmission is a five-speed manual, while a six-speed automatic with Tiptronic automanual potential try recommended. A Jetta SE with the manual went from zero to 60 mph in 8.6 seconds in performance testing. EPA energy economy aside from transmission is 21 mpg city/29 mpg highway and 24 mpg merged. In California and California-emissions states, this engine makes a squeaky-clean PZEV tailpipe pollutants standing.
The 2009 Wolfsburg Edition sedan and SEL Sportwagen get the exact same turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine located in VW's high-performance GLI sedan and GTI hatchback. It generates a zesty 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual are common, while VW's smooth dual-clutch DSG automatic transmission is elective. These two types should sprint from zero to 60 mph from inside the 7-second array, while fuel economy are roughly just like with the base mill that is 2.5-liter. The manual yields 20 mpg city/29 mpg highway and 24 mpg blended, while opting for the DSG improves fuel economy by 2 city that is mpg 1 mpg blended.
Regular safety machines includes antilock disc brakes, reliability and traction control, front area airbags and full-length area curtain airbags. Back part airbags become optional on all Jettas. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provided the Jetta sedan and Sportwagen four out of five performers for front collision safeguards, and a great five performers for side safety. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety accident assessments, the Jetta sedan got the highest standing of "Good" for front offset and side accident defense.
The Jetta's cabin is actually a very good selling point, with plentiful high-grade, soft-touch materials and trim that is metallic. The vinyl "leatherette" furniture discover in most Jettas is finely stitched and does a good feeling of real cowhide, because of the extra bonus to be more straightforward to clean. Stereo and climate settings are simple and easy to use, and then we're also followers of this cool blue lights put when it comes down to products and broadcast display. This year's brand new and enhanced navigation program now has an intuitive touchscreen user interface and a 30GB hard drive that not only improves running opportunity but also devotes 20GB to music storage that is digital.
The Jetta's tall roofing range lends a sense of spaciousness on the top seats, which feature a wide flexibility so that you can take care of drivers of various dimensions. Headroom is only a little tight-fitting within the back, nevertheless. Nevertheless, there is an amount that is adequate of in right back, specially compared to past Jettas, although also an economy sedan like the Toyota Corolla supplies a lot more. The sedan's trunk ability is quite impressive at 16 cubic foot, even though the Sportwagen is actually obviously actually bigger luggage levels for any second is 32.8 cubic legs utilizing the 60/40 rear seat up and 66.9 cubic ft with it straight down.


While Kino was standing at the door, he saw two men coming. One of the men was carrying a light, which shone on the ground and on the man's legs. The men came through the opening of Kino's wooden fence and then came to the door. Kino saw that one of the men was the doctor and the other was the doctor's servant.
Kino stood in the door, with hate burning in his eyes. He was afraid again. He was afraid because the doctor's race had beaten and robbed Kino's race for hundreds of years.
'The baby is nearly well,' Kino said quickly.
The doctor smiled, but his eyes did not smile.
The doctor made a little noise with his lips, to show how quickly death could come.
Kino felt even more afraid. He did not know about scorpion stings. The doctor had read many books. Perhaps the doctor was right. Kino was angry at himself and at the doctor. He was angry at himself because he had not learnt to read books. He was angry at the doctor because the doctor knew this.
Kino did not know what to do. He felt sure that the doctor was telling lies. But he could not do anything which might be bad for his son, Coyotito. He stood back and let the doctor and the servant enter the little house.
Juana stood up from the fire as the doctor came in. Juana covered the baby's face with her shawl. When the doctor went to her and held out his hands, Juana held the baby close to herself. She looked at Kino. The shadows from the fire were moving on his face. Kino nodded and Juana let the doctor take Coyotito.
'Hold the light,' the doctor said. The servant held the light high and the doctor looked at the wound in the baby's shoulder. The doctor thought for a moment, then he pulled back the baby's eyelid and looked at Coyotito's eyes. The doctor nodded his head as the baby moved about in his arms.
The doctor looked into the baby's eye. Kino looked and saw that the eye was a little blue. Kino did not know whether the eye was always blue or not. He did not know whether to believe the doctor or not. But there was nothing Kino could do.
The doctor took a little bottle of pills from his bag. Then he took Coyotito and pressed the baby's lips until Coyotito opened his mouth. The doctor's fat fingers put the pill far back on the baby's tongue, so that Coyotito could not spit the pill out. Then the doctor took a jug of water and gave Coyotito a drink. The doctor looked again at the baby's eyes and then gave Coyotito back to Juana.
The doctor took a deep breath and went out of the house. The servant followed with the light.
Juana held Coyotito under her shawl. She looked at the baby and she was worried and frightened. Kino came to her. He lifted the shawl and looked at his son. Kino moved his hand to look under the eyelid. Then he saw that the pearl was still in his hand. He went to a box by the wall, took a piece of cloth from the box and put the pearl in it. Then Kino went to a corner of the little house and made a little hole in the floor with his fingers. He put the pearl in the hole and covered it with dirt. Then Kino went to the fire where Juana was sitting.
At home, the doctor sat in his chair and looked at his watch. His servant brought him some chocolate and cakes. The doctor looked at the food, but he was not hungry.
In their houses, the neighbours talked about the pearl. They showed each other the size of the pearl. They told each other how beautiful the pearl was. The neighbours were watching to see how the pearl changed Kino and Juana. The neighbours all knew that the doctor had come because of the pearl.
It was a hot night. The thin little dog came to Kino's door and looked in. The dog shook itself when Kino looked at it. When Kino looked away, the dog lay down. The dog did not enter the house, but it watched as Kino ate some food.
When Kino had finished his meal, Juana suddenly spoke.
Kino looked at Juana and then got up and went to her quickly. Kino could see that Juana was frightened. He stood over her and looked down. He could not see, because there was not enough light. Kino kicked some wood on the fire to make it burn. Soon he could see the baby's face. Coyotito's face was red and his lips were red. Suddenly, Coyotito's throat and stomach moved and he was very sick.
'So the doctor knew that the baby would be sick,' Kino said.
Kino remembered the medicine and he was sure that the doctor had made Coyotito sick. Juana moved from side to side and sang a little song. She thought that the song would keep away the danger. Coyotito moved about in Juana's arms and was suddenly sick again.
The doctor finished his chocolate and ate the little cakes. He brushed some little pieces of cake off his fingers and looked at his watch. Then he got up and took his bag.
The news about the baby's illness went quickly from house to house. Illness, like hunger, was the enemy of poor people. Some people said softly, 'Luck brings bad friends.' They all nodded their heads and got up to go to Kino's house. The neighbours walked quickly through the dark night until they were all in Kino's house again. They stood and talked about this illness that had come at a time of happiness. The old women sat down beside Juana to try and comfort her.
'All things are in God's hands,' they said.
The doctor came in, followed by his servant. The old women stood back quickly, as the doctor took the baby. The doctor then looked carefully at Coyotito and felt the baby's head.
The doctor asked for some water in a cup. He put some medicine in the cup and poured it into the baby's mouth. Coyotito coughed and cried and Juana watched with frightened eyes. The doctor spoke a little as he worked.
'It is lucky that I know about scorpion's poison,' he said.
Slowly, the baby stopped moving about in the doctor's arms. Then Coyotito breathed deeply and went to sleep, because the sickness had made him very tired. The doctor gave the baby back to Juana.
The doctor closed his bag and then spoke again.
'When do you think that you can pay the bill?' he asked.
'I will pay you when I have sold the pearl,' Kino replied.
'Have you got a pearl, a good pearl?' the doctor asked, with interest.
Then all the neighbours spoke together.
'He has found the greatest pearl in the world,' they said, and they showed the size of the pearl with their fingers.
Kino looked at the doctor with half-shut eyes.
The doctor looked into Kino's eyes. He knew that the pearl would be somewhere in the house. He thought that Kino might look towards the place where the pearl was.
'It would be bad if the pearl was stolen before you could sell it,' the doctor said. And he saw that Kino's eyes looked quickly at the floor near the corner of the house.
When the doctor and the neighbours had gone, Kino sat by the fire and listened to the sounds of the night. Kino could hear the little waves on the beach and the barking of the dogs. He could hear the wind blowing through the roof and his neighbours talking in their houses. The fishermen do not sleep all night. They wake up from time to time, talk a little, then go to sleep again.
After a while, Kino got up and went to the door. He smelled the night air and listened for anyone coming. His eyes looked into the darkness because he was afraid. He was afraid that someone might come and steal the pearl. Kino went to the place in the corner where he had hidden the pearl. He took the pearl and brought it to his sleeping-mat. Kino made another little hole in the floor. He put his pearl in the hole and covered it up again.
Juana, who was sitting by the fire, watched Kino carefully.
'Who are you afraid of?' she asked.
After a while, Kino and Juana lay down together on the mat. Juana did not put Coyotito in his box that night. She held him in her arms and covered his face with her shawl. And the light went slowly out of the little fire.
But Kino was thinking while he was sleeping. He dreamt that Coyotito could read. In the dream he saw Coyotito reading from a book as large as a house. The letters in the book were as big as dogs. The dream ended and it was dark. Kino moved about on the mat. When Kino moved, Juana's eyes opened in the darkness. Then, Kino woke up and lay in the darkness, listening.
From the corner of the house came a soft noise. Kino could hear someone moving. He stopped breathing so that he could listen. He knew that the man in his house had stopped breathing, too. Kino thought that perhaps he had been dreaming. But Juana's hand touched him and he listened carefully. He heard the sound of breathing again. They could also hear the sound of someone's fingers in the dry earth.
Kino was suddenly angry. His hand went slowly to his knife. Then he jumped like an angry cat towards the corner of the house, with his knife in his hand. He felt someone's shirt and struck with his knife. He did not hit anything. Kino struck again and felt his knife going through the shirt. Then something hit Kino on the head. Kino's head was suddenly full of pain and he heard someone running towards the door. Then there was silence. Kino could feel warm blood running down his face and he could hear Juana calling to him.
Kino went slowly back to his sleeping-mat. Juana was already working at the fire. She found a piece of burning ash and some little pieces of wood. Juana blew on the fire and made the flames burn. Soon a little light danced through the house. Then Juana took a candle, lit it from the flames and put the candle near the fire. Juana worked quickly, crying a little as she moved about. She put the end of her shawl in some water and washed the blood from Kino's head.
'It's nothing,' Kino said, but his voice was hard and cold. Suddenly, Juana cried out.
In the firelight, Juana's lips and eyes looked very frightened. But Kino's face did not look frightened now.
Kino's dark eyes were angry as he looked into the little fire. His knife was still in his hands. Kino raised the knife and looked at it. He saw a little line of blood on it. Kino cleaned the knife by pushing it into the earth.
The morning wind blew on the water and through the trees. Little waves washed onto the sandy beach. Kino lifted up his sleeping-mat and found his pearl. He put the pearl in front of him and looked at it for a long time. The beauty of the pearl made Kino dream again. The pearl was so beautiful. The pearl would buy happiness for the future. The shining pearl would keep away illness and danger. Kino and Juana would never be hungry again.
As Kino looked at the pearl, the anger went out of his eyes and his face became softer. Juana looked at Kino and saw him smile. Juana smiled with him. And they began the new day with hope.

DePaul 73, Xavier 72
(AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
By ANDREW SELIGMAN
CHICAGO - Umoja Gibson scored 22 points, Javan Johnson added 16 and DePaul surprised No. 8 Xavier 73-72.
The Musketeers (15-4, 7-1 Big East) came in rolling with 11 straight wins - their best run since the 2015-16 team got off to a 12-0 start. But they came up short against the Blue Demons (9-10, 3-5).
DePaul led by seven with about eight minutes remaining and made just enough plays to come away with its first win over a top-10 team since beating No. 5 Butler exactly three years earlier at Wintrust Arena.
Xavier led 70-68 lead after a twisting layup by Adam Kunkel with 1:43 remaining. DePaul's Eral Penn answered with a three-point play, but missed the front end of a one-and-one with a minute to play.
Zach Freemantle put Xavier back on top, 72-71, when he made two free throws with 46 seconds remaining. But Da'Sean Nelson answered with a layup to put DePaul ahead 73-72 with 28 seconds left.
Souley Boum then missed a layup, leading to a scramble and jump ball, giving DePaul possession with 2.4 seconds remaining. That sealed the Blue Demons' first win over a ranked opponent since beating No. 21 Xavier on Feb. 5, 2022.
Gibson made five 3-pointers, and Johnson hit three from beyond the arc. Nelson scored 10, and the Blue Demons won for the second time in three games.
Freemantle had 18 points and 12 rebounds for Xavier. Jack Nunge finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds. But Big East scoring leader Souley Boum scored a season-low four.
Coming off a loss to Seton Hall after beating Villanova last week, DePaul led 64-57 with 7:49 remaining after Caleb Murphy hit a pull-up jumper. But Xavier reeled off seven straight, tying it on Freemantle's layup off a turnover by the Nelson.
Gibson scored 17 in the first half and Johnson added 14 points for DePaul, including a 3 from the wing just before the buzzer that sent the Blue Demons to the locker room leading 45-40.
They were up 31-26 when Xavier went on a 10-2 run that Jerome Hunter finished with a dunk, making it 36-33 with 3:39 left in the half. Gibson then put DePaul back on top with a four-point play.
It was tied at 40 in the closing minute when DePaul's Eral Penn made two free throws. Boum missed a driving layup before Johnson nailed a 3 to give the Blue Demons a five-point halftime lead.
BIG PICTURE:
Xavier: This had the makings of a trap game for the Musketeers and they fell into it. They shot just 38% overall and made 4 of 20 3s.
DePaul: The Blue Demons had the touch from the outside, making 9 of 20 3-pointers.

Синхронизировать роботу потоков с рисованием (через передачу данных в основной поток). Пробовал сделать основную функцию в потоке,но у меня всегда были проблемы с передачей данных в основной поток.
Очень прошу,помогите пожалуйста разобраться (может есть пример какой то, либо знаете сайт который сможет помочь)
Я только начал работать с потоками поэтому не судите строго.

A: Если вам конкретно про Swing, то вам нужен javax.swing.SwingWorker. В Интернете можно найти много примеров использования, да и в любом пособии по Swing обязательно должно быть.
Если же вы просто хотите разобраться с многопоточностю, что начинать со Swing неудачная идея.

On Wednesday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Darius Jackson from the University College London (UCL) Holocaust Centre. Darius works with teachers on the various professional development programmes provided by the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education. He also oversees the Initial Teacher Education programme offered by the Centre. However, we were very lucky to receive his last ever training session this week. Darius retires early next week, so we wish him well for his retirement and thank him for the extensive work he has done on behalf of the school as our Holocaust Beacon School Mentor.
This session hosted by the History Department is one of the many "Shine" sessions we run for students interested in learning more about history and expanding their knowledge. Keep an eye out for our next one in May with Dr Tara Hamling from the University of Birmingham!
Darius' session centered on how we have interpreted and represented Anne Frank. From bored school girl to romantic teenager, interpretations of Anne (which would have been pronounced Anna) have varied greatly from country to country and era to era. This was a real surprise for students and staff alike, as some major misconceptions emerge from these interpretations.
His talk explored the role of Anne Frank's diary and how we use/explore it today. Darius stated 'The Diary of Anne Frank' is often used as a 'way in' to studying the Holocaust. The representations generated from this highlight the tensions that exist between the popular ideas about Anne Frank and what she actually wrote. Students then began to unpick these misconceptions and representations as we learnt more and more about Anne. We created a timeline looking at her own life but also the wider context in Netherlands but then the wider Nazi Germany timeline.
I can't believe she wasn't even Dutch!
I'm still shocked at how she was presented so soon after the Holocaust. They try and make it into a love story!
How complex the story is. They did loads to try and get away in the first place. I would have never known or referred to Anne as a refugee before.
This session highlighted the problems of representations and how it is vital in any modern society that we challenge the interpretations by going back to historical "fact". This will prove vital for students as they battle an ever changing society, where (with situations like Brexit), history is used as a tool to justify today's actions.

"My role is really a win-win," Brown said. "I'm a manager like I always wanted to be, and I'm following my higher calling into education."
Prior to joining the Puyallup School District, Brown worked for the Clover Park School District for seven years in various roles including teaching, dean of students, a technology educator and a transportation liaison.
With her own experience as a new teacher in the forefront of her mind, Brown hopes to lead the school by example. Last week, she was assembling goodie boxes of things first-year teachers need to start the school year right.
"A closed hand can't give," Brown said. "I remember when I first started teaching and I had nothing, so it's just a small token of our gratitude."
Prior to accepting the job in the Puyallup School District, Brown said she declined two other job offers. When Puyallup called, she had no hesitation.
"Sometimes you're unsure to take a new job, but there was no hesitation," Brown said. "It was confirmation it was the right thing."
As Brown is getting settled into her new district and role, she says Puyallup has been nothing but welcoming.
"Around here, people have nothing but nice things to say about Puyallup," Brown said. "It is truly living up to the name. It's the most progressive and positive district that I've worked for."
Brown and Principal Judy Piger will split class observations, meeting with parents and working with students, taking on more of a team approach to leading Carson Elementary.
"Normally the assistant principal deals with discipline," Brown said. "My role is more than just discipline. We have close to 1,000 students here at Carson to watch over."

Könyvtárnak nevezik a bármiféle adathordozón rögzített dokumentumok tárolására kialakított helyet, épületet, és az e dokumentumok gondozására, feltárására hivatott intézményt. A tárolt információhordozókat rendszer (katalógus, regisztráció, magyarul jegyzék) szerint rendszerezik, archiválják és az olvasók számára hozzáférhetővé teszik.

A szó eredete
A magyar könyvtár szó a görög bibliothéka tükörfordítása. Míg korábban minden könyvgyűjteményt, akár egy otthoni könyvespolcot is könyvtárnak neveztek, manapság inkább a nagy mennyiségű könyvet tároló intézmények könyvgyűjteményeit nevezzük könyvtárnak.

A könyvtárak története
Az alexandriai könyvtár volt az ókor legnagyobb könyvtára. I. Ptolemaiosz alapította i. e. 300 körül. Virágkorában állítólag több mint 700 000 könyvet (tekercset) tartottak itt, és itt készült az Ószövetség görög fordítása, a Septuaginta is (később egészen az újkori filológia koráig ebből dolgoztak a bibliafordítók).

V. Károly uralkodása alatt a könyvkultúra fényűző méreteket öltött a francia nemesség körében, különösen a királyi ház tagjai hódoltak ennek a szenvedélynek. Az illuminálók bőkezű pártfogója maga a király testvére, Jean de Berry herceg volt. Hatalmas összegeket költött erre a célra, s a legkiválóbb művészeket saját maga számára dolgoztatta. Gótikus kódexei és a drága hóráskönyvek (Livres d'heures) az akkori miniatúrafestészet legszebbjei közé tartoztak. A Bourbonok egészen a 15. század végéig folytatták a Valois-ház hagyományát. III. Fülöp például azt akarta, hogy övé legyen a világ leggazdagabb és legszebb könyvtára ("la plus riche et noble librairie du monde"). Egész sereg irodalmárt, fordítót, szépírót és illuminátort foglalkoztatott, közöttük a meglepően termékeny és sokoldalú Aubertet. A Bourbonok könyvtára az egész korszak alatt megőrizte eredeti jellegét, csak gyengén éreztette befolyását az olasz reneszánsz antik-imádata.

A 14. században francia földön volt még egy nagyszerű fejedelmi könyvtár, a pápák könyvtára Avignonban. Az újabb kutatás földerítette az akkori pápai székhely kulturális jelentőségét és kimutatta, hogy a szomszédos országokból a tudósok, az írók, a művészek és az iparosok feltartóztathatatlanul áramlottak ide.

A pápák korábbi római könyvtárának sorsát meglehetős homály fedi. Csak a VIII. Bonifác pápa által 1295-ben készíttetett leltár maradt fenn, eszerint 500 kötet, közöttük 30 görög kódex volt a könyvtár állománya. De az avignoni átköltözéskor az Olaszországban maradt könyvtár tönkrement. Az új gyűjtemény megalapítója, XXII. János pápa sokat szerzett be vétel útján, két utóda viszont még több kéziratot állíttatott elő saját maga. Fontos gyarapodási forrás volt az elbirtoklási jog, mely szerint a pápai udvarban elhalálozott minden egyházi ember hagyatéka a pápai kamaráé lett. Így a kötetek száma idővel másfél ezerre emelkedett. A könyvek megoszlottak a tulajdonképpeni könyvtár, a pápa magánkönyvtára és a tartalékgyűjtemény között, amely az egyházi intézmények könyvellátására szolgált. Sok tekintetben, így a kéziratok fényűző kiállítása tekintetében is, a pápai gyűjtemény V. Károlyéhoz hasonlított, de Avignonban kevesebb volt a szórakoztató irodalom és a fordítás. Tudományos, teológiai és filozófiai művekben való gazdagsága viszont egyvonalba állítja a Sorbonne könyvtárával. A pápai udvar szükségleteinek megfelelően sok jogi és egyház politikai művet tartalmazott.

1250 után alapította Robert de Sorbonne, Szent Lajos káplánja a róla elnevezett s oly híressé vált kollégiumot. Ráhagyta könyvtárát, majd ezt az adományozást oly gyorsan és olyan mértékben követték az ajándékozások, hogy a Sorbonne könyvtára hamarosan túlszárnyalta a párizsi főiskola többi könyvtárát. Egy-egy tudós hagyatéka gyakran több mint száz kötetet tartalmazott, és sok szerző vette fel azt a szokást, hogy eredeti kéziratát elhelyezte a Sorbonne-on. Az ajándékozók sorában németek, angolok, olaszok és spanyolok is voltak. A könyvtár pénzhez jutott örökség útján, továbbá a duplumpéldányok eladásából is: az ilyen összegeket kéziratok megszerzésére és másolói megbízásokra fordíthatták. 1290-ben a könyvtár állománya 1000, 1338-ban már 1700 kötet. Túlnyomórészt teológiai és filozófiai irodalom volt együtt. A kollégium lakóinak kulcsa volt a könyvtárhoz, bejárhattak az egyetem többi tagjai is, de idegeneket csak felügyelet mellett engedtek be. A könyvtár két részből állt: az első részben, pultokhoz láncolva álltak a sokat használt kódexek, számuk meghaladta a háromszázat. A második részt a duplumok és a ritkábban használt könyvek alkották. Ezeket ki is kölcsönözték, gyakran hosszabb időre is; azonban zálogot kértek, ami többnyire egy másik könyv volt. A személyzetet a kollégium tagjai alkották.

A könyvtáros

A könyvtár kezelője a könyvtáros. Az írástudás hajnalán mágikus hatalmú személy volt, a tudás birtokosa, aki eligazodott a könyvek labirintusában. Később bárki lehetett, aki tudott olvasni és írni, valamint kellő rendszerezési ismereteket szerzett. Sok évszázados kihagyás után ma ismét létezik könyvtártudomány; egyetemen és főiskolán, valamint továbbképzés keretében szaktanfolyamokon is oktatják.

A könyvtári dokumentum
Könyvtári dokumentum lehet alapvetően minden, a társadalom számára hasznos, nyilvánosságra szánt dokumentum. Így a könyvtárban megtalálhatjuk a könyveken kívül a népszerű folyóiratokat, újságokat; manapság már a digitális technika (cd, dvd) vívmányai is jelentős számban képviseltetik magukat a könyvtárak anyagai között.

A muzeális intézményekről, a nyilvános könyvtári ellátásról és a közművelődésről szóló 1997. évi CXL. törvény értelmében könyvtári dokumentumnak minősül a könyvtár által állományba vett, alap- és kiegészítő feladatai ellátásához szükséges tudományos, oktatási, művészeti, közművelődési vagy történeti értékű könyv, időszaki kiadvány (hírlap, folyóirat), egyéb kiadvány, illetve minden szöveg-, kép-, adat- és hangrögzítés, beleértve a könyvtár állományába vett elektronikus dokumentumokat is, kivéve a levéltári törvény hatálya alá tartozó, irattári jellegű, levéltári anyagnak minősülő dokumentumokat.

Könyvtártípusok
 Felsőoktatási könyvtár

A 15. század után alakult ki. A filozófiai tudományfelosztás szerint, az egyetemi karoknak, tudományágaknak megfelelően rendezték sorba a könyveket, de egy karon belül lehetséges több tanszéki könyvtár működtetése is. A felsőoktatási könyvtárak gyakran nyilvános könyvtárak is egyben, ilyen például az Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem könyvtára.
 Iskolai könyvtár
A felsőoktatási könyvtárak mintájára alakultak ki az általános iskolai és középiskolai könyvtárak. Gyűjteményük kicsi, könnyen áttekinthető. Az 1920-as években Klebelsberg kultúrpolitikája és az általános tankötelezettség bevezetésével nőtt a jelentőségük.
 Nemzeti könyvtár
A 18. század körül kezdtek kialakulni. Van, amit kifejezetten nemzeti könyvtár céljára alapítottak (ilyen például a British Library), de gyakran a királyi könyvtár, vagy annak egy része szolgált a nemzeti könyvtár alapjául. Magyarországon gróf Széchényi Ferenc nagybirtokos felajánlása és a kötelespéldány-rendelet adta az alapot a nemzeti könyvtár létrehozására.
 Közművelődési könyvtár
A 19. században alakultak ki a nagyközönségnek szánt kisebb könyvtárak. A porosz típusú közművelődési könyvtárban a gyűjtemény van központi helyen, míg az úgynevezett a közkönyvtárban (angolul public library) a használat, a több példányos beszerzés, a könyvtári szolgáltatások vannak a központban. Az első magyar közkönyvtár a Fővárosi Szabó Ervin Könyvtár volt.
 Szakkönyvtár

A szakkönyvtárak felhasználói képzett, illetve éppen hallgató szakemberek. Specifikus igényeiknek megfelelően a gyűjteményt is egyetlen tárgy köré csoportosítják. Ilyen például a Hadtörténeti Múzeum és Levéltár.
 Börtönkönyvtár, kórházi könyvtár
 Egyházmegyei könyvtár
 Magánkönyvtár

A könyvtárak csoportosítása

Gyűjtőkörük szerint

 tudományos szakkönyvtár (például műszaki könyvtár)
 letéti könyvtár
 gyermekkönyvtár

A nemzeti könyvtár őrzi az összes könyvtári dokumentumot, amelyeket (egy adott időponttól fogva) az országban kiadtak. A nemzeti könyvtár javára kötelespéldányokat kell beszolgáltatnia a kiadónak. Magyarországon a nemzeti könyvtár az Országos Széchényi Könyvtár (OSZK).

Használatuk szerint

 nyilvános könyvtár
 korlátozottan nyilvános könyvtár
 zárt gyűjtemény

Az első magyarországi könyvtárak
Hazánkban a 18. század második feléig csak magán könyvgyűjtemények léteztek, ezeket azonban a közönség nem látogathatta. A leghíresebb ilyenek:
 Mátyás király,
 Zrínyi Miklós,
 II. Rákóczi Ferenc,
 Bercsényi Miklós,
 a Nádasdy család, valamint

egyes kolostorok, illetve főpapok gyűjteményei voltak, mint például:
 a kalocsai székesegyházi könyvtárat Patachich Ádám érsek alapította 1784-ben,  kötettel.

Nem véletlen, hogy az első nyilvános könyvtárakat is felvilágosult főpapok hozták létre:
 Klimó György pécsi püspök püspöki székhelyén egyetemet szeretett volna létrehozni; a könyveket eredetileg az egyetem tudományos munkájának támogatására gyűjtötte. Az egyetem alapítására nem kapott engedélyt, de 1774-ben 15 ezer kötetes gyűjteményt bocsátott a tanulni vágyók rendelkezésére. Ez volt Magyarország első közkönyvtára.
 Eszterházy Károly egri püspök alapította az egri főegyházmegyei könyvtárat, amit 1793. december 28-án,  kötettel nyitották meg.
 Az ország harmadik, nyilvános könyvtára a Batthyány Ignác alapította gyulafehérvári könyvtár lett; ez 1798. július 31-én alakult meg hivatalosan  kötettel.

Remain Aware of the Potential for Herbicide Carryover in 2013
Aaron Hager
Recommended citation format: Hager, A. "Remain Aware of the Potential for Herbicide Carryover in 2013." Department of Crop Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, April 8, 2013. Permalink
Ideally, soil-residual herbicides should provide several weeks of weed control but not persist long enough in the soil environment to cause damage to rotational crops. Dry soil conditions, similar to what most of Illinois experienced during the 2012 growing season, often slow the rate of herbicide degradation and increase the potential for damage to rotational crops from herbicide carryover. Some remember the dry growing season of 1998 and the problems encountered in 1989 due to the persistence of one or more soil-residual herbicides that did not adequately degrade in the dry soil conditions of 1988. Will the dry soil conditions during much of the 2012 growing season lead to similar problems with herbicide persistence in 2013? Will the precipitation that was received later in the growing season and throughout the fall eliminate the potential for herbicide carryover? Many factors interact to determine how long a herbicide remains active in the soil environment, including factors related to the herbicide, the soil and climactic conditions.
Herbicides vary in their persistence in the soil; some have very little soil activity (such as thifensulfuron) while others can persist for several months (such as picloram). Variation in soil persistence even can exist among herbicides within a particular chemical family. For example, within the imidazolinone herbicide family, soil persistence of imazamox (Raptor) is much shorter than persistence of imazethapyr (Pursuit). An indication of a herbicide's soil persistence can sometimes be inferred from the crop rotation intervals listed on the respective product label. Herbicides that tend to persist longer in the soil generally have longer crop rotational intervals compared with herbicides that don't persist long. For example, labeled crops may be planted anytime following the application of carfentrazone (Aim), while 10 months must elapse between application of fomesafen (Flexstar) and planting corn. Rotational intervals for a particular herbicide sometimes vary by rotational crop, which also provides an indication of which rotational crops are more sensitive to herbicide residues remaining in the soil. The chemical characteristics of the herbicide molecule that contribute to long soil persistence are inherent properties of the molecule, and there is little that can be done to shorten their persistence once they have been applied. However, variations in certain soil physical and chemical properties can influence the persistence of a particular herbicide apart from its chemical composition.
Soil properties that influence herbicide persistence can be broadly categorized into chemical, physical and microbial. One of the more important soil chemical factors that influences persistence of some herbicides is pH. Soil pH, a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions present in the soil solution, determines whether a soil is considered acidic, neutral or basic. At higher soil pH values, weakly acidic herbicides, such as many sulfonylurea herbicides, exist in the negatively charged or anionic form. The anionic form is only weakly adsorbed to the clay and organic matter components of the soil, and therefore more of the herbicide remains in the soil solution and available for plant uptake. At lower soil pH values, weakly acidic herbicides exist in the neutral form or, in some instances, the positively charged (or cationic) form. These neutral and cationic forms of the herbicide are more strongly adsorbed to the negative surfaces of clay and organic matter, and therefore are less available for plant uptake.
Soil pH also can impact how much and how quickly certain herbicides are degraded by a chemical process known as hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a process by which the herbicide molecule reacts with water ("hydro" means water) to cleave ("lysis" means to split or degrade) certain chemical bonds of the herbicide molecule and render it either much less active or herbicidally inactive. The rate of chemical hydrolysis is influenced by the pH of the soil; hydrolysis occurs more rapidly under acidic conditions than under neutral or basic conditions since the weakly acidic herbicide molecule exists in the anionic form under basic conditions and is much less susceptible to hydrolysis. The rate of chemical hydrolysis also can be influenced by soil moisture and temperature, with hydrolysis slowing under dry and cold soil conditions.
Physical properties of soils are related to the relative amounts of sand, silt, clay, and organic matter a soil contains. Soils with higher amounts of clay and organic matter have a greater potential for herbicide carryover than coarse-textured soils or those with less organic matter. Higher amounts of soil organic matter and certain types of clay particles increase the potential for herbicide carryover by adsorbing more herbicide onto these soil colloids. Adsorption is the adhesion of ions or molecules to the surface of soil colloids. Usually these types of attractions are weak such that herbicide molecules move from the colloids into the soil solution in a reversible manner. However, adsorption forces can become stronger over time given certain soil conditions (such as lack of soil moisture). Herbicide bound to soil colloids is not available for plant uptake, movement downward through the soil profile, or microbial degradation. Injury to rotational crops is possible if these bound residues are displaced by water molecules either late in the season they were applied or the following spring.
Soil microorganisms represent the primary method of degradation for many herbicides. These microorganisms include various species of fungi, bacteria, actinomycetes, and algae. The composition of microorganisms (species and abundance) present in a particular soil is influenced by soil type, pH, organic matter content, moisture, etc. Most species of microorganisms are active under aerobic conditions while others thrive under anerobic conditions. Herbicide degradation by microorganisms most often occurs when the microorganisms consume the herbicide molecules as a source of energy. Certain herbicides are more easily degraded by microorganisms than others.
The rate of herbicide degradation by soil microorganisms is often directly related to prevailing environmental and soil conditions. Any condition that impacts the microbial species composition and population can impact the rate of herbicide degradation. Temperature and moisture are two factors that can greatly influence soil microbial populations. The activity level of most soil microorganisms is higher under warmer soil temperatures than under cooler soil temperatures. This partially explains why herbicide degradation tends to slow as soil temperatures drop during the weeks after crop harvest. Minimal herbicide degradation by soil microorganisms occurs when soil temperatures reach approximately 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Herbicide degradation by soil microorganisms usually occurs most rapidly when adequate soil moisture is present. Under extremely dry conditions the rate of herbicide degradation by soil microorganisms can slow enough to allow the herbicide to persist into the next growing season.
What can be done to minimize the risk of injury to rotational crops from residues applied during the previous growing season? In the simplest terms, herbicide degradation simply takes time and moisture. Currently, soil moisture across much of Illinois is more abundant than at this time last year, but the activity of soil microbial populations remains limited at current soil temperatures. Shallow tillage can help distribute herbicide more evenly across a field, and is more likely to help enhance herbicide degradation when soil temperatures are warm and adequate soil moisture is present. Early planting or planting a rotational crop that is very sensitive to the herbicide applied last season might further increase the likelihood of crop injury from herbicide carryover. Ultimately, the susceptibility of the rotational crop determines whether or not persisting herbicide residues will cause any problems. Planting the same crop next season as was planted in 2012 would effectively eliminate the potential for crop injury from herbicide residues. This solution may not be feasible for every situation where herbicide carryover is possible, but it is an option that warrants some consideration. If crop rotation must occur where there is concern for herbicide carryover, delaying planting as long as possible could allow for additional herbicide degradation to occur.

Going gluten free may not always be the easiest thing for some. Maybe you just got diagnosed with Celiac or are gluten intolerant, and have no idea where to start. It can be tough wandering the aisles of your grocery store, staring at label after label, only to realize you have been there for 3 hours and have barely anything in your cart. Don't worry, I've been there too.
My first trip to the grocery store felt like a nightmare. I had no idea what to look for, how thorough to read the labels, and if there was anything that I would actually like. When it comes to eating gluten free, one thing is for sure: fresh is best. Nothing beats fresh produce, meat, and fish. Or even fresh local eggs. But sometimes, or many times, we need other ingredients to create our meals too. Maybe it works better to have a few sauces on hand for a quick dinner, or maybe the kids could use a treat in their lunchbox (and you just don't want to make it from scratch). For those times, I have created a list of my top go-to gluten free grocery products. Many of these are extremely versatile and can be used to create a variety of dishes. I know there are many more amazing gluten free products out there, so if you have any others you highly recommend please let me know in the comments below!
Disclaimer: Ingredients can change at any time, and without warning, so please ALWAYS double-check the labels of these food items to ensure they are gluten free.
Barilla Gluten Free Pasta: This ranks #1 on my list! It's probably the pasta that I have found to taste the closest to normal wheat pasta, and it's certified gluten free. The texture is identical, and their spaghetti doesn't break at all when placed into the boiling water. Even better, it is also just about the same price as the regular boxes of Barilla pasta (other brands will up-charge for gluten free noodles), and I have always found them to be included in the regular Barilla pasta coupons. You should be able to find them wherever you would normally find Barilla pasta, such as at Target or many stores online.
Explore Cuisine Organic Chickpea Fusilli: For those of you who like something a little different, Costco actually sells some pretty great pastas. Explore Cuisine is made mostly from chickpea flour, is high in fiber, has 11g of protein per serving, and is also made in a dedicated allergen free & gluten free facility. The pasta itself is a little denser tasting than normal pasta, so you tend to feel full a little sooner than normal. However, you just can't beat Costco's prices with that huge sized box! The brand also makes lentil penne pastas that look delicious, but I haven't had the chance to test them out yet. If you can't find them at Costco, you could also find them online at places like Amazon.
Annie Chun's Rice Noodles: If you are looking for rice noodles instead, this is the brand I buy all the time. I don't find them everywhere, but they are at Fresh Thyme, specialty food stores, and many stores online. I have even seen them online at Target (I just haven't found them in stock at my local store). These noodles are pretty quick to make, and don't taste super starchy like other rice noodles I've tried. They go great with stir fry dishes, or even in a cold pasta salad.
Although it can be healthier to make your own sauces and marinades from scratch, many of us have those times where we just don't have the time… or we don't have our cupboard stocked. When that happens, or when I find myself in a rush, it really is helpful to have some pre-made sauces and marinades on hand.
San J Gluten Free Sauces and Marinades: I am completely OBSESSED with these, and use them for just about everything! San J makes an entire line of certified gluten free sauces, including Tamari (instead of soy sauce). They come in a variety of flavor profiles, but they are all incredibly flavorful. I've used them to make stir fry, meatballs, and even pizza. They are pretty widely available, as I have found these products in almost every grocery store I shop at.
Thai Kitchen: This brand is fairly similar to San J, except they have a little different selection. If you are looking to make your own sauces and marinades, they have sesame oil, fish sauce, and curry pastes. If you are looking for a short cut, they have pad thai sauce and even a peanut satay! They are widely carried across just about every grocery store, big and small, and don't break my budget. On another note, their line of canned coconut milk is definitely a must have! My Costco carries a box of 6 for less than $2 a can, and I use them for marinating, in smoothies and desserts, and even soups. It's an extremely versatile ingredient.
Gluten free bread products are quite interesting. When it comes to a regular loaf of bread, I still find they come in many different shapes and sizes. Sometimes, the slices are so small there is no way I could make a normal sandwich with it! Bread should be the size of bread, not the size of a cracker. But regardless, they still seem to taste pretty good. If you have a local gluten free bakery in the area, they may have some delicious choices. If not, there are still plenty of options.
Udis Bread: When it comes to bread, I really like their multigrain bread the best. They come in half loaves and full loaves, and can be found at many major grocery retailers including Costco. I find that the slices are larger with the full loaf of bread, so if you like to make sandwiches go for that first. Either way, their bread toasts pretty well, and their cinnamon raison bread is perfect for french toast!
Canyon Bakehouse: Canyon Bakehouse also makes very good bread, but it's their bagels that are even more delicious! They taste fairly similar to my old favorite bagel brand I used to eat before going gluten free.
Now, believe it or not, this is actually a very tough category to talk about. With more and more people eating gluten free, whether by choice or by dietary need, companies are jumping on the train and labeling more products gluten free to cater toward a wider crowd. Unfortunately, something huge tends to be sacrificed when trying to make tasty gluten free snack foods: NUTRITION. Yes, I understand that snacks and desserts are just that… they are meant to be a tasty treat! But I urge you to read your labels closely. Just because it's labeled gluten free, doesn't mean it's "automatically healthier" for you. I have found SO many of these products to contain ridiculous amounts of sugar, fat, and carbs. This is due to companies needing to add extra ingredients to take the place of gluten, and also to try to make it taste great.
Are you ready to cringe at an example? Well, the first dessert we ever found was a beautiful frozen layer cake in our local specialty grocery store. Came in many flavors, and yes – it tasted pretty darn delicious. Until we looked at the nutrition label. The cake has 6 servings, and is probably only a 6×3 or 6×4 rectangle. So 1 serving is this tiny little square of a piece, and contains 46g of FAT! Not to mention the calories and carbs were completely out of control. And let's be real here, who wants to eat just a few bites of a piece of cake. Not me. Now again, these products that I suggest are not meant to be completely healthy snacks or desserts. But these are products with nutrition labels and ingredients that aren't completely thrown out of whack.
Enjoy Life Snacks: These are probably my #1 when it comes to snacking. I sampled a lot of their products when I went to the Gluten Free Allergy Fest back in the spring, and was a fan of all of them. The Enjoy Life company makes tasty products that are free from the top 8 allergens, and are all certified gluten free. They have everything from cookies, to chewy granola bars, and also chips. Their Plentils chips are pretty addicting! And their crunchy baked cookies are oh so delicious. You can find their products at many major and specialty grocery stores, although they might not always carry the whole line (online seems to be the best place). They also have great coupons on their website.
Pro Bar Bite: If you are looking for a quick on-the-go snack, I recommending trying Pro Bar Bite. They come in a few different flavors, although peanut butter chocolate is my favorite. They aren't very big anymore, and really are just a 3-4 bite snack. However, they are pretty filling. If you want something even more filling or are looking for a larger bar, try the Pro Bar Meal bars. Their bars are certified gluten free, and are also dairy and soy free.
Finding the right baking ingredients is probably one of the most challenging things I have come across. I have gone through countless different flours and flour brands, only to find that they are not all created equally. Gluten free flours are not the same as regular wheat flour. Since they are generally a mix of a few different flours (usually rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch), and each brand portions their ingredients differently, each all-purpose gluten free flour blend could turn up a completely different result in your baking recipes. When it comes to specialty flours like coconut flour, they don't all absorb liquid the same way as the next… but that's a discussion for a later blog post.
Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips: I know I just talked about this brand, but when it comes to chocolate chips they really surprised me! There are many brands of chocolate chips I found to not be gluten free, so you have to be careful. Many chocolate chip products are made on the same lines as flour or as other products that contain wheat, so always read the allergen statement or give the company a call when in doubt. Their varieties are absolutely delicious, and can be found at many major grocery stores (even if they don't carry the snacks, they almost always carry the chocolate chips). Again, they always have coupons on their website.
Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Baking Four: I think I've tried several different all-purpose flours in my baking recipes, and none have worked better than Bob's Red Mill 1:1. This flour blend is made with mostly sweet rice flour, and also contains xanthan gum. Some people don't like gums, and that's just fine. But if you don't mind them, it's nice to have it already in the blend so you don't have to worry about how much to add separately. This is my go-to flour blend for all of my recipes, and always turns out great! I've made brownies, cookies, cake, and even gnocchi with it. Bob's Red Mill has a whole line of other flours that I really like and highly recommend as well, but when it comes to baking this one is my favorite. You can find coupons on their website, and they sell their products just about everywhere!
I grew up an athlete, and because of that I have always been very picky about my protein bars. I finally had one I used all through college that I loved, and unfortunately they are not gluten free. I tend to like my protein bars with whey protein, and prefer whey isolate over concentrate. There is actually a very large variety of gluten free protein bars, although they aren't always found very easily in stores.
Nugo Stronger: This is my new favorite protein bar! I wish I had actually used these in college, because they are pretty darn delicious. Nugo has quite a few different bars and 27 of them are certified gluten free! Their Stronger line has 25g of protein per bar, but I actually split them in half most of the time (depending on my workout). The peanut cluster flavor is my favorite, and has whey isolate and the main protein source, but they have three other really good flavors as well. They also have many different varieties that have rice protein crisp instead of whey. I have tried the Nugo Free dark chocolate as well and really liked it. These are generally sold singly in specialty stores, but you can find boxes online at Amazon or even Jet.com.
Wella Bar: These are also a new favorite of mine. We found a huge variety box at Costco one day in the refrigerated section and LOVE them! Wella Bars use pure, organic whole foods to create a "fresh-chilled" protein bar. They have quite a few different flavors, but their main ingredients include peanuts, almonds, cashews, honey, milk protein, and egg whites. Each flavor has a different protein content, but these are a great protein bar that everyone will love.
Last, but not least, I have a few pantry ingredients that I love. These are staples in my kitchen and are very versatile ingredients.
Manischewitz Gluten Free Matzo Meal: Looking for better gluten free breadcrumbs? Next time you are at your specialty grocery store, be on the look out for this container! Matzo meal is just ground up matzo crackers, and I find them at my local Fresh Thyme grocery store. But geez, these taste just like regular breadcrumbs. They crisp just like normal, and they down burn when pan fried like some other brands I have tried. Try them with meatballs to keep them moist, or use it for your next chicken parmesan recipe. They can be tough to find, but they are truly worth it.
Carrington Farms coconut oils: Coconut oil is naturally gluten free, and I know many people who just buy coconut oil and have no problems. However, being new to gluten free and Celiac I wanted to be very careful when starting out. When I called a few coconut oil companies, they let me know that they are working on their gluten free certifications… but they cannot guarantee that there is no cross contamination from their suppliers. Again, decisions like this are completely up to you and your specific dietary needs, and I personally just choose to wait for them to test and label it. I found Carrington Farms gluten free coconut oils in the store one day, and haven't tried anything else! My favorite is their liquid cooking oil, and I actually use the unflavored one for baking. They just expanded their product line, and now they even have flavored cooking oils. You can find coupons on their website, and their products can be found in many grocery stores.
Trader Joe's oatmeal: Oats have a lot of information and articles on them when it comes to gluten free foods. Oats themselves should be gluten free, however they are almost always grown alongside wheat and/or transported in the same vehicles (or using the same equipment). I really love Bob's Red Mill gluten free quickoats, but nothing beats the price of Trader Joe's gluten free rolled oats. The statement on the package says they are grown in their own field and made in a dedicated gluten free facility. So, if you eat a lot of oatmeal like I do, Trader Joe's is a fantastic option.
Well, there you go! That makes 16 of my favorite gluten free products that I currently use. Now, there are many other products that I use as well (you can click through some of my recipes to see what they are), I just may not use them as often or they may not fall into one of these categories. I am not an expert on gluten free food by any means, I just love sharing my personal experiences!

Before your doc orders a CT scan for your busted shoulder following that backyard football game, counter with this question: Is that necessary? The number of CT scans in the U.S. tripled between 1996 and 2010, according to a recent Journal of the American Medical Association study, and almost a third might be done unnecessarily for things like headaches.
While a CT scan can pinpoint internal injuries or cancer with highly-detailed images, you're exposing your body to doses of radiation—up to 100 to 500 times greater than a traditional X-ray—that 10 to 20 years later could lead to cancer.
Your goal is to avoid unnecessary scans and to ask about alternatives like ultrasounds or MRIs. For example, a CT is often used to easily spot the pebbles that come with kidney stones. But when similar symptoms return—as they often do—you could ask for an ultrasound image first instead of getting blasted again.
Whether you've had two or 20 CTs in the past shouldn't affect your decision making for the next one, says Brenner. Take it case by case, but see if any other imaging could work first if you're uneasy. If you're told to have a CT scan for stomach cancer or something serious, though, get one. The miniscule future risk doesn't outweigh the immediate benefits on the health teeter-totter.

Can We Please Stop Hating on Kate Middleton for Looking 'Too Pretty' After Giving Birth?
Max Mumby/Indigo/Contributor/Getty Images
Jenny Erikson April 24, 2018 at 3:31 PM
People just can't relate. After Kate Middleton wowed the world by looking drop-dead gorgeous a mere seven hours after giving birth to her third child, some are concerned that she's setting unrealistic standards for women. Yup, because apparently now duchesses aren't allowed to be pretty.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge introduced their new little boy to the world on Monday, April 23, hours after welcoming him in the delivery room.
Chris Jackson/Staff/Getty Images
Kate channeled Princess Diana when she posed for the same picture over 30 years ago with newborn Prince Harry. Diana also wore a red dress with a white collar, although hers had signature '80s flair with a giant floppy bow at the neck. Good fashion times.
Anyway, Duchess Catherine looked absolutely stunning with her form-fitting red dress, nude high heels, perfect makeup, and flawless hair. While most people praised her as the magical unicorn she is, others couldn't help but criticize her for looking too good.
Kate's impeccable appearance was even said to be "problematic" for the image it sends to us mere mortal women.
MeghanAndy/Twitter
Um, what? We're pretty sure Kate wasn't forced against her will to do her hair and makeup and put on heels after giving birth. Maybe she just wanted to look pretty after the grueling work of pushing a human into the world.
There were many, many comments from others saying they just couldn't relate to the new mom, and that it's putting undue pressure on the rest of us. Someone commented, "Kate Middleton gave birth, got dressed up, put on makeup and waved to a nation mere hours later. I waited 4 hours just to straighten my hair this morning."
Another person added, "Kate Middleton had the baby 7 hours prior to this photo. She has a full face, hair and wardrobe done, and yes she looks great, but this should not be expected of women."
Why isn't Kate allowed to be pretty again?

The woman is literally going to be the Queen of England someday, when her husband assumes the throne. She is not a mere mortal, so to speak, so why should she step out in a messy bun and dirty yoga pants?
Kate has been in tip-top shape her entire life, and is one of those lucky women who seem to just get a little basketball belly even into their ninth month. Why would she be fat and puffy after the birth, when she was incredibly slim going into it? She even showed off her killer legs just a couple of weeks ago, and looked amazing.
Concealer, heels, the right outfit, and professional hair and makeup can cover up a world of post-birth mess, and we're not about to deny any of it to Kate Middleton, who literally will have these pictures splashed in the news for decades to come.
FEATURED VIDEO: KATE'S GORGEOUS MATERNITY STYLE
It's not the first time she looked amazing after having a baby, either. Did people miss her same-day appearance after the birth of her daughter?
Anwar Hussein/Contributor/Getty Images
This was about 10 hours after bringing Princess Charlotte into the world. Full hair and makeup. Beautiful dress. Heels. That killer smile. We'd smile too if we looked this good after giving birth.
Or what about her firstborn?
Granted, her heels seem to have gotten taller and dresses just a little tighter with each baby, but what mom doesn't become a veteran by the time kiddo number three rolls around?
Besides. Kate had professionals come in to do her hair and makeup. She had nearly 30 medical professionals looking out for her and her new baby boy, so she likely had time for a shower. And just because she isn't mentioning those giant mesh panties stuffed with ice packs we mamas love to wear after giving birth, doesn't mean she's not wearing them under those lovely dresses.
After all, she is human -- even if she does seem to have postpartum superpowers. We're just going to go ahead and remain in awe of this women, instead of sitting in petty judgment over her good looks.


All models of cars considered in the real Management are equipped with system of cooling of the engine working at superfluous pressure with thermostatic management of circulation of working liquid. The water pump of rotor type is fixed on the block of the engine and provides pumping of cooling liquid through an okhladitelny path of the last. The stream of liquid washes regions of an arrangement of each of cylinders in the block and goes to a back part of the engine. Laid in molding of the block and a head of cylinders okhladitelny channels provide intensive cooling of inlet and final ports, areas of installation of spark plugs and directing plugs of final valves.
The Voskozapolnenny thermostat supervises working temperature of the engine in the course of its warming up. The first minutes after start of the cold engine the thermostat remains closed, preventing thereby circulation of cooling liquid through a radiator. When the temperature of the engine reaches normal working value, the valve of the thermostat opens, connecting to a cooling contour a radiator providing the maximum intensity of a heat-conducting path from a working body (cooling liquid).
The system of cooling has a tight design and is densely closed by a cover of the radiator, capable to maintain a certain superfluous pressure that provides increase of a boiling point of cooling liquid and, respectively, efficiency of a heat-conducting path through a radiator. At excess by internal pressure in system of some certain value, the podpruzhinenny plate of the radiator of a safety valve built in in a cover rises over the saddle, providing an overflowing of excess of cooling liquid on a connecting (perelivny) tube in a broad tank. In process of system cooling liquid automatically comes back from a tank to a radiator.
Dolivaniye of cooling liquid in system is made through a mouth of a broad tank which at the same time acts also as a receiver accumulating in forced out from a radiator excess of liquid.
In view of the listed features of a design, such system of cooling received the name closed as in it any functional losses of cooling liquid are excluded.
The main components of system of heating of salon are the electric fan and the heat exchanger located in a box-shaped casing of a heater. The heat exchanger is connected by means of rubber hoses to system of cooling of the engine. The control unit is built in by functioning of the heater/conditioner of air in the car dashboard. The cooling liquid warmed up in the engine circulates via the heater heat exchanger, giving the to air warmly filling a casing. At inclusion of heating of salon there is an opening of a lamellar zaslonka therefore the internal volume of a casing of a heater incorporates to salon volume. At turning on of the fan the krylchatka of the last starts to banish air submitted to salon via the heat exchanger, providing its intensive warming up.
Functional and basic schemes of central air of air it is presented on accompanying illustrations.
The structure of system includes the condenser established ahead of a radiator close to the heat exchanger of a heater the evaporator, fixed on the engine block the compressor, and a receiver dehumidifier (accumulator) equipped with the reduktsionny valve of a high pressure. All components are connected among themselves by refrigerator lines.
The fan banishes air arriving in salon through the heat exchanger of the evaporator working in a mode, the return to a mode of functioning of a radiator. The coolant pumped over through the heat exchanger begins to boil and, evaporating, selects at air surplus of heat. The temperature in salon thus decreases to demanded comfortable value (at the choice of the operator). The compressor supports coolant circulation in system, pumping over the warmed-up liquid via the condenser where it is cooled and arrives back in the evaporator.

BA Verde :: Vegetarian Restaurant | .liveit.loveit.blogit.
We heard about Buenos Aires Verde from one of the hubs' veggie friends who spent some time in BA last year. Buenos Aires–the city of the parilla–is the not the most veggie-friendly (or health-nut friendly) city in the world. So, we were pretty excited to get a list of good, healthy, veggie options to try out when our arteries just needed a break from the meat and cheese.
One of the most exciting sounding restaurants on the list was Buenos Aires Verde, a Palermo Hollywood restaurant.
From the street, Buenos Aires Verde is true to its name. The exterior is bright green, making it hard to miss, despite it's small size! When you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by a delicious looking raw treats display case. We didn't try any (since we were super full from lunch), but if I'm in the neighbourhood, I'll be sure to pick one up. The small restaurant is full of brightly coloured, tightly packed tables, and there is a small health food grocery section.
The tables are adorned with purple japanese-style placemats and bright green wheatgrass centrepieces. The walls are full of chalkboards listing features from the menus in brightly coloured chalk.
The restaurant was medium-busy throughout our visit (a Thursday at around 1:00), and the service was decent.
Buenos Aires Verde features an extensive menu ranging from about 40-60 pesos for most dishes. It's not a vegan restaurant – as most dishes feature cheese – but I think there are a handful of things on the menu that could fit the bill if you are a vegan. The first page print out lists the platos del dia, big healthy meals for 33 pesos. Now we're talking!
Upon our arrival we were served a cold sweet tea (I loved it, it was too sweet for the hubs' taste) and whole grain breads and hummus. I think I've mentioned before that the vast majority of the bread in BA is not great, this was a big exception to that rule. Moist, flavourful and delicious.
We ordered the butternut squash risotto and the super bagel, both from the platos del dia menu. I topped my meal off with a ginger lemonade (15 pesos) and the hubs had an apple almond-milk shake with a shot of wheatgrass on the side (27 pesos).
The butternut squash was rich and creamy and delicious, but watch out if you are on a diet, it was fairly heavy on the cheese. The super bagel featured roasted vegetables, and I'm pretty sure they were roasted in sugar. I found the sweetness overwhelmed all the other flavours, and wouldn't order that again. That's probably a taste thing though, the inherent sweetness in a roasted vegetable is about as sweet as I like my savoury foods. The bagel itself was whole grain, thin, not to dense, and tasty.
The hubs' apple shake wasn't my fave, it was a little chunky. My lemonade was yummy, with small bits of ginger, but lemonade is forever ruined for me after the delicious lemonade at Salgado Alimentos.
Buenos Aires Verde, Gorriti 5657, Palermo Hollywood, Buenos Aires, Mon to Sat, 9-late. No credit cards. 2 peso cover pp.
At 112 pesos ($26) for two, the meal was an ok value. The food was tasty, the drinks were ok, the 2 peso cubierto (cover) was just annoying. 2 pesos? Really? At it to my meal. Next time (and if we were here for longer, we would return) we would split a water, which would bring it down to about 80 pesos ($19).

The 1899–1900 British Home Championship was an edition of the annual football tournament played between the British Home Nations. Conducted in the second half of the 1899–1900 season, it was dominated by Scotland who achieved a whitewash of their opponents by winning all three games. Wales and England shared second place, with Ireland bringing up the rear.

Wales and Ireland began the competition in Llandudno, the Welsh side winning 2–0 to take immediate advantage. Ireland then returned to Belfast to play Scotland, where they again lost, conceding three without reply. In Cardiff, Wales and England played out a draw giving both a chance of success in the tournament before Wales' hopes were ended by a heavy 5–2 defeat by Scotland in Aberdeen. England however remained strong, beating the Irish and needing a draw to share the trophy with Scotland and a win to take it undisputed. Scotland however were much too strong, dominating the match and winning 4–1 to complete three victories and win the competition.
