The majority of Bayer's sales come from European countries (roughly 40% of revenues) and North America (about 25% of sales), and most of the company's core manufacturing facilities are in Germany and the US. Bayer markets over 5,000 products through a global sales and distribution network. Offerings from its largest division, the HealthCare segment, are distributed primarily through wholesalers and pharmacy chains, while MaterialScience and CropScience products are sold through wholesalers and regional distributors.
Bayer is growing all three of its core businesses by enhancing its strong positions in key markets, as well as by expanding into emerging geographic areas and investing in innovative technologies. Within its HealthCare division, which accounts for just about half of its annual sales, the company's growth strategy includes making targeted acquisitions, entering into licensing and development deals with other pharmaceutical companies, and performing in-house research and development. To counteract the effect of weakened sales in Europe and North America, the HealthCare Pharmaceuticals segment is working to expand drug marketing efforts in China, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, and other high-growth markets. In 2010 the HealthCare segment also opened a new R&D center in China.
Acquisitions in the health arena include US subsidiary MEDRAD's 2011 purchase of Pathway Medical Technologies to expand its arterial disease therapies, as well as the Animal Health division's purchase of New Zealand firm Bomac Group in 2010 to widen its drug offerings for agricultural animals. The company has high hopes for candidates in its internal R&D pipeline, such as its newly introduced blood thinner Xarelto (which gained FDA approval in 2011) and several new women's health offerings. It has also entered into numerous collaboration agreements to boost its R&D programs in recent years, including a partnership with Genzyme to co-develop and promote multiple sclerosis drugs and one with Onyx Pharmaceuticals to work on cancer medicines.
Bayer's growth measures in its two other core segments, MaterialScience and CropScience, include the construction of new manufacturing and production facilities in the US, Europe, and Asia. The MaterialScience unit expanded its distribution operations in Russia in 2011 through a joint venture with German firm ALBIS Group. The CropScience unit acquired Hornbeck Seed, a maker of plant breeding products, in 2011 and AgraQuest, a California-based supplier of biological pest management solutions, for $425 million in 2012. Bayer places a significant amount of focus on R&D efforts within its MaterialScience and CropScience divisions to be able to provide a broad range of crop solutions based on seeds, traits, chemical crop protection, and biological pest and disease control.
All of the company's growth measures paid off when Bayer's sales rose in 2010 and 2011. The company also improved its net income figures in 2011; however, declining income levels over the previous few years -- caused by economic difficulties, competitive conditions, and other factors -- have led Bayer to conduct some cost-control and restructuring measures. Such measures also include efforts to integrate a number of purchases made during a period of heavy acquisitive growth from 2005 through 2008.
After instituting some production expense cutbacks within its MaterialScience division in 2009, the unit returned to expected growth levels in 2010. However, increased generic competition for branded HealthCare and CropScience products, including the YAZ birth control pills and certain herbicides, caused lower-than-expected results within those divisions in 2010. Additional restructuring efforts to resolve the troubles include 2011 measures to streamline and consolidate some of the Bayer HealthCare facilities, especially in Germany and the US. In addition, the firm has divested some noncore CropScience product lines.

Eating Garlic is very toxic for the body
Ayurvedic medicine, the oldest form of medicine does not recommend garlic at all and they had very good reasons because it is known to be one of the most toxic herbs or plants and not fit for human consumption that, they are known to have destructive effects so that's why garlic works on bacteria killing germs, it is an anti-bacterial food that can completely eradicate bacteria. Not many people think that that is a good thing, we want something that kills off germs but it can have negative side effects that may be even worse than having a bacterial infection.
I personally do not recommend it for a number of reasons there is some studies that show that garlic can actually cause damage to brain cells and it has that very powerful effect because garlic does end up in the blood stream if eaten in raw form; if it is eaten in cooked form the negative or toxic effect is greatly diminished, so if a person does feel like they want the garlic then they can take it in cooked form, and it will be less negative in the sense that it can cause harm in the body.
Garlic burns, it literally can burn little holes through the lining of the intestines it can certainly penetrate the mucus lining and make its way through into the intestinal wall where it can burn little holes that eventually you if you eat it too often, it can lead to perforations and that is the part where they already have been eaten or damaged. So particularly people who have leaky gut where already the toxins escape from the intestines and move into the blood stream, they should be extra careful because garlic should not really be in the blood.
I remember perhaps some people know who have been going through, World War II or post World War II, immediate 5-10 years for example, the Italians who were very knowledgeable about the toxic effects of garlic, they took garlic cloves with them to the frontiers and they squashed, they basically used the garlic juice to pour it over the bullets and then they put the bullets that have the garlic on them into their guns and they were never known to be good shooters, the Italians, they were famous for not being able to aim at the solders properly so they often missed, probably they missed more often than they succeeded, so they thought by putting the garlic on the bullet and then somehow hit the enemy in the foot or somewhere, not in the heart or the head, they just injured them somehow and when the garlic entered the enemy's blood stream they knew that the enemy would die, because once it is in the blood, if you did that, if you injected raw garlic juice into the blood, you can certainly die from that.
So it is not something to be take lightly. There is a whole new trend in Italy that is shying away from putting garlic in the food and they know that it is not one of the best things to ingest because it cause upset stomach, it can upset the intestines, and it can cause inflammation, so there is even a new trend it is called 'garlic-free restaurants' so all the great chefs, they are learning how to cook without garlic, because garlic became only popular in that part of the world when there was a shortage of food and there was no spices or herbs available, particularly during the war times and the poor people they were taking recourse to garlic as a way to making their food more flavorful and, that's where the trend started expanding, because there were a lot of poor people after world war two so, in a way that's when garlic became very popular and it spread throughout the world. So there is a new trend which has sort of gone backwards in time and phasing garlic out.
It also overrides the flavor of other tastes in food so once you put garlic in it, you hardly taste anything else but garlic, in that sense it is not the best for the taste buds because it is very important that the tongue which has taste bud cells to detect all the tastes – sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent – it is important that we have exposure to all those six tastes, in order to… for the cells in the body to function well, and for the food to be digested properly, and if you miss out on some of these tastes or you override them by having a particularly pungent taste that dominates all the other tastes, then this can lead to digestive trouble where the digestive system no longer recognizes these other tastes and is not secreting the correct enzymes and digestive secretions in order to digest all the foods that you have ingested, not just the pungent or spicy food which garlic is.
Can you also give a little brief on the medicinal values of garlic which Ayurveda recommends?
You do not find many references in ayurvedic medicine for medicinal properties of Ayurveda except that it does have an anti-bacterial effect. It is more recommended to put up garlic in the fields to prevent mosquitoes and other insects from flying in there and eating up the crops so, in that sense, garlic has definitely a major use, but it should, in my opinion, not be used for food, that's why every body type reacts to it, so it is not really good for any of the body types. The only body types that can cope with it more than others are the kapha body types. They have a thick skin, thick intestinal lining, so for them to get serious damage is less likely than in the vata type, who has a very thin intestinal lining, for them they are more likely to get injured by it and, for the pitta body types, they can get inflammation in the intestine if they eat too much garlic. especially the raw form.

Moonshine goes mainstream
Artisanal blends sold at Disney World and on a Discovery Channel show are bringing corn whiskey out of the woods.
It looks like moonshine has made its certifiable return to American pop culture, but very little of the stuff being passed around in mason jars is actual moonshine.
The problem with moonshine in its current incarnation -- the one that gets its own show on the Discovery Channel (DSCA) and puff pieces in Bon Appetit -- is that it only sort of fits the common definition of the concoction. It's still triple-distilled corn whiskey made from recipes passed down through the generations, it's still brewed in small batches and it's still surprisingly pleasant for a liquor so strong.
It overwhelmingly isn't produced in old radiators anymore, it no longer has alcohol content that can blind a person and it isn't commonly contaminated with low-grade methanol, antifreeze or other potential toxins. In many cases, it's both taxed and legally distilled by professionals using costly copper equipment. Law enforcement in the Virginia counties where the Discovery Channel's "Moonshiners" is filmed told the Associated Press that the alcohol production on the show doesn't even qualify as illegal moonshining.
That's not to say moonshine has completely separated from its law-skirting past. Back in 2010, the BBC found that still makers like Colonel Vaughn Wilson of Arkansas were selling copper stills for $300 to $1,000 to traditional markets like Kentucky and Georgia, but also to hipsters in Brooklyn looking to try it out for themselves. The Federal Government's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau notes that while it's tough to catch folks distilling small batches in their own homes, it's still illegal to distill without a license that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Getting caught means a fine of up to $15,000 and five years in jail.
It's a big reason much of what's known as moonshine today is produced above board. Junior Johnson, whose moonshine runs through the woods of North Carolina earned him 11 months in federal prison during the 1950s but laid the groundwork for NASCAR, began producing Junior Johnson's Midnight Moon moonshine back in 2007. It's all professionally distilled and supplements the original "white lighting" corn whiskey recipe with flavored varieties like apple pie, blackberry, blueberry and strawberry.
Relative newcomer Troy Ball, founder of Troy & Sons, got into making moonshine after sipping a sample back in 2008. Troy & Sons now produces more than 10,000 bottles of Platinum Moonshine and Oak Reserve Moonshine each year and distributes them across the Southeast, including to Walt Disney World's Wilderness Lodge. Even as Brooklynites set up copper stills within their meager square footage, borough whiskey bar Char No. 4 and owner Sean Josephs stock "white whiskey" moonshine as both an option and educational tasting tool.
"Tasting it with no wood, just with the raw corn flavor," Josephs told Bon Appetit, "lets you really get a sense of how char affects the spirit, as it matures into bourbon."
Moonshine distillers don't have to wait long to see the fruits of their labor either. While bourbon can spend a minimum of half a decade aging in barrels, moonshine is good to go as soon as the mash goes through the still. It's given "artisanal" or "craft" distillers a slight edge on big whiskey producers like Beam (BEAM), Diageo (DEO) and Jack Daniel's owner Brown-Forman (BF.A), but it's carved out a legacy portion of the whiskey market that many Americans have only heard about through old episodes of "The Dukes of Hazzard," if at all.
Moonshine may not be the outlaw liquor it once was, but even its safe and legal version is a potent force in America's drinking culture.
More on Money Now
I left a note on my original comment...
No I don't know everything about shine, but there are a lot of differences....And Everclear is not what I consider shine...People use EC for a lot of spiking. not the same...
I'm a Winemaker and can rework wine to 15-20% or 40 proof.
And I think they can with shine too...?
You can buy 150 proof anything in a lot of places.
Talk about MSN being behind the times! We could buy legal Moonshine in WV back in the early 1970s. It even had a WV liquor tax stamp across the plastic gallon top.
When I was a kid I lived in a relatively urban area and there were several stills operating on and off in the mountains within walking distance. You'd see old cars and trucks that never moved except when it was time to come to town to buy sugar - otherwise their radiators were part of the still! You were really taking a chance drinking that stuff... my neighbor had a race car and used 'shine for fuel. He said it really made the thing go, but it would burn the engine up by the end of the season.

DIFF'S decennial edition to be presented in association with Dubai Studio City
Tue Oct 29,2013
The Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) has announced that their decennial edition will once again be presented in association with Dubai Studio City (DSC), the region's leading destination for international media productions. From the beginning, DSC has supported DIFF in its efforts to encourage film production in Dubai, positioning the city as a desirable production location that meets international industry standards.
Abdulhamid Juma, DIFF Chairman said: "For nine years, Dubai Studio City has supported us as we have grown from strength to strength, allowing us to stimulate unprecedented growth in Arab cinema."
He continued, "DSC has been instrumental in helping us to deliver the best in cinema to the public every year and put Dubai on the world stage. Their long-standing commitment speaks volumes about their dedication to culture and arts in the region, and we look forward to celebrating ten remarkable years of DIFF, thanks to their continued partnership."
Jamal Al Sharif, Managing Director of Dubai Studio City commented: "Dubai Studio City is proud to be a sponsor of the Dubai International Film Festival, in line with DSC and the Dubai Film and TV Commission's (DFTC) collective goal to establish Dubai as a leading film production hub. Together, DFTC acts as a one-stop shop for filmmakers choosing Dubai as a production location, while Dubai Studio City offers world class infrastructure, facilities and services for leading audio visual media services available in Dubai.
DSC has rapidly become the location of choice for the local and international film, TV, music, entertainment and broadcasting industries. At the heart of the development are our state-of-the-art sound stages, which altogether comprise 65,000 sq. ft, and comes equipped with all the necessary services to facilitate world-class productions. The soundstages are the largest and most advanced in the region, making Dubai an ideal shooting destination whatever the nature of the project, or however vast the filmmaker's imagination."
The highly anticipated Festival will take place from December 6 to 14, and is held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. DIFF's decennial edition will provide Festival-goers access to a stellar line-up of films, special guests, industry initiatives and events.

Saturday September 20th's Memorial Marco Pantani, in Italy, will be Team Colombia's final race before leaving to the Road World Championships in Ponferrada, Spain (September 22-28): the event will not only involve the two riders selected for the élite road race - Carlos Julian Quintero and Miguel Angel Rubiano – but the whole Claudio Corti's team structure, staff and logistics, in their role as official partners of the Colombian Selecciόn.
With two weeks to the Road World Championships road race in Ponferrada (Spain), Team Colombia's Miguel Angel Rubiano and Carlos Julian Quintero continue their run up for the event they are taking part to for Colombia for – respectively – the fifth and first time.
Two late-season semi-classics expect Team Colombia in Northern Europe in the upcoming weekend, on September 6th and 7th.
Team Colombia's season follows in France: after Tour de l'Ain, Tour du Limousin and Chaterroux Classic, the Escarabajos are now about to tackle the Tour du Poitou-Charentes, five stages in four days of race, from August 26th to 29th.
Team Colombia quickly shook off an unspectacular team time trial in Vuelta a Colombia stage 2, with Jeffry Romero celebrating his first win of the season at the end of a whole stage on the attack, on the way from San Gil and Barbosa (116 km). Romero also enjoyed his first win in a Team Colombia jersey, as well as his maiden one in Colombia's biggest stage race.
The proficient cooperation between Claudio Corti's Team Colombia, the Colombian Ministry of Sports Coldeportes and the Colombian Cycling Federation continues and steps to a bigger level.
The summer race break for Team Colombia is coming to an end, as in the weekend, on July 26th and 27th, the Escarabajos will be back in action in Italy at GP Industria e Artigianato – Larciano and Giro di Toscana. Seven of Claudio Corti's riders travelled back to Italy on Tuesday July 22nd, and will line-up at the start of both races, guided from the team car by Sports Director Oscar Pellicioli.
The Colombian Cycling Federation officialised the list of the teams that will take part to the 2014 Vuelta a Colombia, to be raced from August 6th to 17th. Topping this list is Team Colombia, that will make its comeback to the biggest National stage race two years after the debut in 2012.
It has been a week since Team Colombia riders have travelled back to Colombia for some weeks of training while spending time with their families, and yesterday Claudio Corti joined them in South America as well. The General Manager is in Colombia to hold some meetings with the team's institutional partners, starting with Coldeportes and Director Andres Botero, to lay down the basis for 2015 season.
Final fixture ahead of the "summer break" for Team Colombia: after competing in Slovenia and France, the Team is headed to the Giro dell'Appennino, in Italy, looking to provide a strong display before travelling to Colombia to spend three weeks of training next to their families.
An exciting Giro d'Italia is just behind us, but there's little time to rest, as the season goes on for Team Colombia's Escarabajos. Just three days removed from the Corsa Rosa, an eight-man line-up directed by Oscar Pellicioli and Oliverio Rincon will take the start at the Skoda Tour de Luxembourg, with the classic 2,55 km evening prologue to get things started in Luxembourg city.
After an intense weekend of climbs and emotions, featuring Jarlinson Pantano's third place in Oropa and Fabio Duarte's second in Montecampione, Team Colombia enjoyed a well-deserved rest day on Monday May 26th.
Team Colombia offers its most sincere sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims of the tragedy happened today, Monday May 19th, in Fundacion, Colombia, where 32 children lost their lives in a bus arson.
In less than 24 hours, Team Colombia riders will start their travel to the 97th Giro d'Italia: the team's cars and trucks already took their way on Sunday, and tomorrow night the riders and the technical staff will reach their hotel in Belfast (Northern Ireland).
Fabio Duarte's overall fourth place in a top-level Giro del Trentino lights up Team Colombia's ambitions for the Giro d'Italia and – earlier than that – for the monument classic the Escarabajos are about to race for the first time on Sunday April 27th: Liege-Bastogne-Liege.
More bureaucratic troubles are upsetting Team Colombia's riders in the view of Giro d'Italia, and not only that. In fact, the UK Embassy in Italy did not return their passports to the Colombian riders, who had filed for UK Visas – with a urgent procedure – on April 10th and 14th. Claudio Corti's team was supposed to fly to the Tour of Turkey tomorrow, April 25th, but now the team's participation to the race is seriously at risk.
The new design of the team's shorts will debut at the Giro del Trentino to stay until the end of the season.
A few weeks are left, and it will be Giro d'Italia again for Team Colombia, but it's still too early to pack luggage for Northern Ireland. Ahead of Belfast, more important fixtures expect Claudio Corti's riders – way too prestigious to be a mere setup to the first Grand Tour of the season.
Thanks to Team Colombia Miguel Angel Rubiano's success in Cartagena (Colombia) on Saturday April 12th, in a few days – at Fleche Wallonne – the Colombian National Champion's jersey will make its appearance in European races, showing up for the first time in some of the biggest races in the World, such as Liege-Bastogne-Liege and, obviously, Giro d'Italia.
The biggest fixtures of the first half of the season are getting close for Team Colombia, and after the joy for the National title won by Miguel Angel Rubiano, the Escarabajos are headed to Belgium for a "dry run" of the two big Ardennes Classics waiting for them a week later – Fleche Wallonne and Liege-Bastogne-Liege.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
He's a better "value" pick with the Blazers' second choice, but in a
few years no one will care when he was selected. Marshall has the kind
of game that Batum needs to play at his best -- someone who can find
Batum sprinting or slashing so he does not need but a few dribbles to
score. Matthews and Aldridge, too, would benefit from a great passer,
and Marshall might be the best passing prospect in a decade.
He is the classic player whose sum is greater than his individual parts,
which is a talent unto itself. He's more than just a great assist man,
he's a willing ball mover. Portland was basically a bottom-third team in
assist rate this season, something unlikely to happen again with
Marshall on board. Matthews, Batum and Aldridge can offer him defensive
protection, one minute area of weakness for Marshall.
I read this article on BE, and I agree with you. Sarah and Adam suggested either, Williams or Nash as a Free agent or a quality PG to give Marshall time to develop would be great. Nolan can still be in the running as the understudy, but also can play the 2gd if needed. Marshall can learn defense, and when to shoot and when not to shoot.OBTW, do you think there are chances of bringing Monty Williams back as a head coach, or do you think it would be more of Nate? I liked Nate; he wasn't perfect, but nobody is.
The more I read about Marshall, the more I believe he'll be a top flight point guard. Players with his court vision and passing ability come along once every 5 or so years. I'd love to nab Beal with the Nets pick (*fingers crossed* that we get the pick) and then grab Marshall at #11.
DHawes22: don't we need a center or at least a big man opposed to a 2gd? Elliot Williams could be our 2gd, but then we have Joe Freeland as a possible big, but I would still like to get a big in the draft, take Marshall and get Nash with free agency or trade to train Marshall. I think we will get Joel P back to train a big
Why does everyone want D.Will or Steve Nash? D. Will = bad attitude/no loyalty/coach killer...S.Nash = Twilight of his career, no surprise potential. Why not go for a guy like Dragic, similar numbers to Nash, plus untapped potential. He also studied under Nash for 2 years in meaningful playoff minutes...That can't be undervalued. I go for Dragic. Then draft a scorer and Marshall. I would rather see a front court of Aldridge and Hickson than trying to fit a rookie center into the mix.
@calvinbp: I brought up D. Will and Nash, not because I am so keyed on them, but wondering if the Blazers was keyed on them, I agree with you on Dragic and then getting Marshall as an understudy, I do disagree with you on drafting a shooter, we have the rights to Diebler(SP) that will be here for the summer league, and may be our shooter. IMO, get a center with our first pick if available and bring back Joel to be the Mentor; and get Marshall with our second pick if we have one. Lamarcus and JJ can be center and PF at times, but would get beat to death at other times.
I would love to see the us get Marshall. Felton had a decent rest of the season, but there's probably too many haters that wouldn't accept his return, not to mention the potential with Marshall. I'd love to see the Blazers snag a solid Center with that Nets pick, maybe even Zeller, but not a SG. Matthews has a hell of a work ethic, and if this year taught us anything about EWill its that his middle name is potential. Crawford probably won't reappear, but thats fine. J.J. Hickson future 6th man of the year?
@Nash10539I agree with you, IMO, if we had Jamal and Felton back, we would lose half of our fanbase, and it would be a repeat of this year regardless of who we get in FA, draft or trade. In fact, IMO again, one of our problems this year other then the two mentioned above was our lack of depth and or Nate not using more players in an intense all games crammed too close together season. As you said, Felton did have a better season after the All-Star break, and that was partially do to less playing time, because Kaleb used more of the bench. That being said, we should keep most of the players we played at the end of the season.I also agree with you that Matthews will get better and better as he is trying new tricks to keep the defense honest, and he is as you said a work horse on defense and offense; just not having Felton and Crawford back will help his game immensely; Right now Matthews is an off ball 2gd and isn't great at creating his shot, but is getting better. with a pass first PG as Marshall is and a top notch PG from free agency will help Matthews, Batum, JJ, LMA and E Williams tremendously, if we keep any or all of the players mentioned.
@HG -Do we need a center? Most definitely. But outside of Andre Drummond, there isn't one worthy of taking with either of our 1st round picks. I know we have Wes and Elliot at the 2, but Beal is going to be special and I'm a big proponent of taking the best player available. Also, the league is becoming more guard oriented. We can get away with playing LA at the 5, so upgrading our backcourt is priority #1 to me.
@DHawes22Thank you for your input, very much appreciated. I don't know that much about Beal other then what I have read. I do know we need a PG that can set up offenses and read opponents defenses. We also need some bigs to rebound for the guards. That is the two areas that I have been thinking about. Taking the BPA is a great way to go, but Packaging up one of the picks and trading for a proven big man wouldn't be bad either. I will be happy either way we go, but I am more in the mind of mediate help then future help.

Headquartered in Singapore and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Asia Capital Re is the world's first independent reinsurance company with an exclusive focus on serving clients in the fast-growing pan-Asian region, extending from the Middle East to China and Japan.
Ranked among the world's top 50 reinsurers, Asia Capital Re offers clients a combination of strong Asian dedicated capacity, global underwriting standards and expertise, as well as in-depth knowledge of the Asian insurance markets. We specialise in providing reinsurance solutions for large and complex risks across business lines of aviation, casualty, credit & surety, energy, engineering, marine, medical, motor and property.
Our shareholders are reputable global institutions who are committed to the long-term sustainability of Asia Capital Re. We received an 'A- (Excellent)' rating from A.M. Best in November 2006 at inception. In November 2008, we were assigned a long-term insurer financial strength rating and counterparty credit rating of 'A- (Strong)' from Standard & Poor's.
Asia Capital Re has won numerous awards since its inception, including the honour of being the first Asia-based reinsurer to be named "Reinsurance Company of the Year" in 2011 at the prestigious Worldwide Reinsurance Awards. This follows the Worldwide Reinsurance Awards' recognition of Asia Capital Re as "Company Launch of the Year" in 2007 as well as The Asset's nod for being the "Most Innovative Deal - Equity" in 2006 at the investment publisher's annual awards. Asia Capital Re's entry into the reinsurance industry was also hailed by The Reinsurance Readers' Awards which named the company "Newcomer of the Year" in 2008.

More recently, in 2013, The Asset named Asia Capital Re "Insurance Company of the Year" for investment excellence – the second consecutive year the company is conferred the honour.
Beyond Singapore, we have two branch offices in Hong Kong and Dubai, representative offices in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam, and a liaison office in India.

http://www.everything3d2.com/ NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captures a very long, whip-like solar filament extending over half a million miles in a long arc above the sun's surface. Filaments are cooler clouds of solar material that are tethered above the sun's surface by unstable magnetic forces.

Kacey Musgraves is more vulnerable than ever before on her latest single, "Keep It to Yourself." She wrote the song after a breakup when her ex was trying to tell her he still had feelings for her.
Says Kacey, "You literally have to be the strong person and say, 'Don't tell me, because it's just going to rope me back in.' It's going to create that cycle again. It's just about getting over that hump."
Ultimately, Kacey found love again with her band member, Misa Arriaga , and that relationship wouldn't have happened if she'd gotten roped back into dating her ex.
Looking back, Kacey explains. "Nobody wants to feel naked or uncomfortable, and removing yourself out of a situation that you know is probably not right is really hard, but it's something that you just have to do."
"Keep It to Yourself" is the latest single from Kacey's Grammy, ACM and CMA Award-winning album Same Trailer Different Park .

Snow Melters. HeatTrak says its stair mats will prevent snow and ice buildup during a 2-inch-per-hour snowfall. Up to 10 mats can be connected to one another (in a parallel circuit) and plugged into a standard 120-volt outlet. More mats require a second power cord. Control options include a plug-in temperature sensor, a hard-wired snow sensor, and an outlet switch inside the entry door. The company also makes walkway mats. Stair mats cost $50 each. HeatTrak, 866/766-9628, heattrak.com.
Modulating Fireplace. In most gas fireplaces the flame is either on or off, but the 864 TRV GreenSmart unit adjusts its flame height based on the temperature setting. It can be run in standing-pilot mode — in which the pilot stays on to maintain draft — or electronic-ignition mode, in which the pilot turns off when the fireplace does, saving fuel and money. The price ranges from $2,100 to $4,500, depending on such accessories as facings, firebacks, and remotes. Travis Industries, 800/654-1177, fireplacex.com.
Efficient Hot Water. The HP-50 heat-pump water heater's 2.0 energy factor means it should use half the power of a standard electric tank. Its top-mounted heat pump requires 1,000 cubic feet of surrounding air space (a 10-by-12-foot room with an 8-foot ceiling easily qualifies). It works in temperatures down to 40°F; at lower temperatures, an electric resistance backup kicks in. In summer it provides some dehumidification. Prices range from $1,700 to $2,200. Rheem, 800/621-5622, rheem.com.
No-Ply Plywood. Vertical-grain BamPly isn't plywood in the usual sense. It has no core veneer; instead, it's assembled like bamboo flooring, with long strips of 3/4-inch-wide bamboo face-glued together into a 4x8 sheet. The maker says it has 30 percent more strength than oak and 17 percent more than maple, making it a good option for high-end cabinets or built-ins. Per-sheet costs range from $90 for 1/4 inch thick to $185 for 3/4 inch thick. Pacific Western Wood Products, 323/266-6200, pacificwesternwoodproducts.com.
Quick Deck Post. The Secure Mount Post was designed for cases where a deck rail needs to be added directly to a concrete or wood deck and there's no existing structural post. It consists of a steel post and base plate that are bolted directly to the deck, plus two polypropylene blocks that fit over the post. The top block can be set for a 36- or 42-inch railing height. A 4x4 TimberTech sleeve slips over the blocks and is fastened with standard fasteners. According to the maker, the post is tested for a 500-pound design load and has an anticorrosion coating that outperforms standard galvanizing. It costs $50 to $60. TimberTech, 800/307-7780, timbertech.com.
Disappearing Vent. If you have to put a ceiling grille in a room with a ceiling fan, Invisivent is worth a look. It consists of a round hvac grille with a built-in duct boot and electric box. The assembly is held in place behind the drywall by steel support rods that offer enough load-bearing capacity to support the fan. The installation is unobtrusive, says the maker, and the fan helps distribute air from the grille around the room. The list price is $68. N2vent, 352/875-4747, invisivent.com.
Filtering Blocks. The Aquaflow permeable pavement system lets water seep into the ground in a controlled manner. The pavers are installed over a sub-base that includes a geotextile fabric that filters out pollutants before releasing the water. According to the maker, the system prevents dirty runoff and reduces a community's need for storm-water ponds, infiltration trenches, and drains. Hanson Hardscapes, 800/273-7084, hansonhardscapes.com.
Better Sump Pump. The most likely point of failure in a basement sump pump is the switch, which is typically a floating device that turns on the pump when lifted by water to a certain level. Like all mechanical devices, these switches wear out over time. The switch on the Blue Angel 1/2-hp sump pump (model SSBCSC50) works a different way: Rather than relying on a float, it senses the presence of positive ions as the water rises. The switch and its microprocessor are encased in epoxy to protect them from corrosion. The manufacturer claims the switch will last for more than a million cycles, or five times as long a mechanical version. The pump costs $260. Wayne Water Systems, 800/237-0987, waynewatersystems.com.

Even in a drought, farmers are thirsty for knowledge. For the fifth year in a row, Farm Journal hosted its series of Corn College events, which focus on reaffirming the fundamentals of farming and keeping pace with the ever-changing technology.
This year, more than 1,125 attendees from 25 U.S. states, three Canadian provinces and Brazil joined Farm Journal agronomists in the field.
"It's a testimonial to the events that so many farmers make this part of their summer," says Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie. "Many farmers realize how fast our industry is moving. It can be frustrating—but good—to have access to new technology, machinery, genetics and more to fit into our farm practices."
Ferrie and Associate Field Agronomist Missy Bauer work to host events that turn those frustrations into opportunities. With a mix of classroom and in-the-field sessions, they build the curriculum around the Systems Approach.
Since the series began in 2008, the events have spread from the first campus near Bloomington, Ill., to include a campus in southern Michigan, near Coldwater. The trainings expanded beyond corn in 2011 when Soybean College was offered to help farmers seeking higher bean yields. In addition, each campus hosts a one-day event for ag retailers and consultants—those who serve and support farmers' ability to raise higher yields.
From the beginning, Corn College created a fever. Fourteen "alumni" who have attended since the beginning were recognized this anniversary year with a special gift.
"After attending five years of Corn College, I always leave thinking how little I know about growing corn, which makes me want more," says Greg Goplerud, a farmer from St. Ansgar, Iowa. "Some of the biggest lessons I've learned have been on nitrogen management."
Take yields higher. From July 16 to 19, Ferrie hosted the Corn College Advanced series of events, which focused on three topics: nitrogen management, soil health and the emerging threat of resistance.
"It was such a different year when it comes to moisture, and in a nitrogen program, the timing and positioning of product is as important as the rate," Ferrie says. "In our in-field diagnostic session, we taught how to evaluate the crop from emergence to black layer to know how a nitrogen program is playing out.
Positioning nitrogen to make sure it's there at the right time in each growth stage is often tougher than finding the right rate."
Another key topic was weed, insect and disease resistance. In both a general session given by Isaac Ferrie of Crop-Tech Consulting and a breakout given by Larry Steckel, associate professor and row crop weed specialist at the University of Tennessee, attendees learned how resistance happens and how it can be managed.
"Right now, it's important to have a campaign of awareness around the issue of resistance," Ferrie says. "We also wanted to provide sessions that showed how farmers can take the issue into their own hands by ensuring proper application of chemicals."
Fred Whitford, coordinator of the Purdue Pesticide Programs at Purdue University, presented on how to avoid common missteps and accurately measure liquid and dry chemicals.

Whether you want to get smarter at cooking, save some money, or just have a good laugh in the kitchen, we can definitely get you SORTED.
Simple scallops are the best scallops. Frying these in a super hot pan is one of the best ways to eat them, and it's not as hard as you think. We keep accompaniments to a minimum, with the perfect match of crispy bacon and fennel. A starter to impress... a real treat.
preheat the grill as high as it will go and bring a pan of water to the boil.
line a grill tray with tin foil and lay the bacon strips on a rack over the foil.
grill for several minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
slice the fennel in half lengthwise and wedge into chunks.
blanch the fennel in the water for 4 minutes to soften, then drain.
toss the drained fennel in plenty of olive oil, salt and pepper and grill in a cast iron griddle pan (or any pan if you don't have one) to char.
zest the lemon into the mascarpone and beat together with plenty of black pepper.
pat the scallops dry with kitchen paper and season well with salt and pepper.
fry the scallops with a splash of oil in a very hot pan for a minute on each side, adding a knob of butter and squeeze of lemon juice into the pan for the last 30 seconds.
arrange the fennel pieces onto two plate and dot blobs of the cream cheese over.
place a portion of scallops onto the fennel and sprinkle over the chopped crispy bacon and parsley to serve.

Daniel Yoon now has a unique college to go with his unique nickname.
Known around the Greater Atlanta Christian campus as "Panda," the rapidly improving offensive lineman is bound for Saint Anselm College, an NCAA Division II program in southern New Hampshire. The small Catholic school, with an enrollment of approximately 2,000, was founded in 1889.
"It's a great fit for him," said GAC head coach Tim Hardy, who added that Yoon is known around GAC for his "contagious enthusiasm, vibrant personality and recognizable nickname."
Yoon, a 6-foot-2, 245-pounder, started at right tackle for GAC's playoff team last season.

We try to bring you guys the latest money-saving woodworking news, but can we ever satisfy some people? Sadly, it seems, the answer is no. First, a blast from the past. - Belleditrix
"I recently started woodworking and quickly found myself holding onto even the smallest offcuts: pen blanks, extra veneer no bigger than a square on a chessboard, even 1/8" dowels – I'm not proud to admit I'm referring to the length, not the width. I realized that I had hit rock bottom when I was filling up at a local gas station and, before I knew it, I was digging through the pile of firewood for sale to see if there were any pieces of spalted maple or walnut burl that somehow had been mistakenly grouped in with the chunks of birch and pine. Thankfully, after reading your article on Scrappers Anonymous, I was able to find some support. The chat room contributors helped me understand that I'm not alone and that I can function in everyday society with my habit (not to mention giving me the inside scoop on where to find some great scraps of Brazilian Rosewood). Thank you, Woodworker's Journal!" - I. Kneadhelpp

Hardwick to hold HEAP outreach date to assist residents in needby jmaloni
Taken from the Dec. 27 Island Dispatch
The Erie County Legislature has announced that Home Energy Assistance Program outreaches will be held throughout the county to assistance residents in need this year. Attendees do not have to live in the specific town/village/city hosting the outreach to attend.
Interviews will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until 4 p.m. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. All applicants will be interviewed.
HEAP is a federally funded program to assist income eligible Erie County residents with the costs of home heating, electricity, and energy conservation. The HEAP outreach will be administered by the Erie County Departments of Social Services and Senior Services and is open to all income-eligible households.
Legislator Kevin Hardwick will host a HEAP outreach on Wednesday, Jan. 15, at the Grand Island Golden Age Center, 3278 Whitehaven Road, in the Nike Base park.
Applicants must bring the following documentation to the outreach:
1) Proof of gross income received within the last 30 days for all household members
- Wages: If paid weekly, last four paystubs
- Wages: If paid biweekly, last two paystubs
- Award letters, if applicable (Social Security, pension, unemployment, Workers Compensation, disability, etc.)
- Yearly statement of interest received (savings, checking, CDs, money market account, etc.)
- Dividend proof (stocks, bonds securities, etc.)
2) Social Security numbers for all household members
3) One form of ID for all household members (birth certificate or Social Security card or driver's license or school ID, etc.)
4) Proof of residency (Rent receipt, mortgage statement, utility bill)
5) Current heat and/or electric bill.
For questions or additional information, call the HEAP Hotline at 716-858-7644 or HEAP Application Request Line at 716-858-1969.
Applicants are encouraged to apply early, as HEAP benefits are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Eligible households can receive one regular HEAP benefit per season, but may also be eligible for an emergency HEAP benefit if they are in danger of running out of fuel or having their utility service shut off. Applications for emergency HEAP benefits will be accepted beginning Jan. 2, 2014.
To request an application, call 716-858-8850.

Captain Craig Dodd of the Dougherty County Sheriff's Office held a news conference this morning in downtown Albany to alert the public that a scammer is trying to bilk Mediacom Cable customers out of money.
Someone is posing as a Mediacom representative in an effort to snag personal banking information. While deputies work to track the scammer down they want people to not fall victim. The Dougherty Sheriff's Office starting receiving complaints last week. At least half-a-dozen from people suspicious of a caller claiming to be from Mediacom Cable.
"In order to keep from getting cut off. They would have to give bank information or direct payment information from their checking account," said Dougherty County Sheriff's Capt. Craig Dodd.
Dodd says so far it doesn't appear anyone has fallen victim to the scammer who is anything but professional. "He slurs his words a lot. He talks real slow. So they didn't take him seriously," Dodd said.
The caller is using a cell phone to contact potential victims. It's a local 229 number. Mediacom contacts its customers from a toll free 800 number. And while the scammer is no pro, some could still fall victim.
"That doesn't mean that he can't hurt you financially by getting your information and using it on the internet to make purchases or drain your bank account."
We tried calling the number today to see if we could a hold of the would-be scammer. All we got was a voicemail. But sheriff's investigators are confident they'll catch the guy. "We will track the phone number down to whoever is in possession of it and we'll wake them up one morning."
Until then be wary of anyone calling for your personal information. Investigators believe many people may have been contacted who haven't come forward and if you did give out your information, contact the Dougherty County Sheriff's Office immediately.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ The Obama administration says it's delaying a major part of the president's health care overhaul law, the requirement that medium and large companies offer coverage.
In an announcement late Tuesday from the Treasury Department, the administration said it has heard requests from business groups for additional time to comply and will grant another year.
The health law requires companies with 50 or more workers to offer affordable coverage to their employees or face potentially large fines if just one worker ends up getting taxpayer-subsidized insurance.

I've always loved the VW Buses and I've wanted to create a poster series celebrating these vehicles for a while. The color scheme decision was based on the fact that I was more interested in showing the spirit of these vans instead of being 100% accurate to the original color schemes. I didn't go into this project intending to make the posters so "grungy" but as I was working on the posters the grunge seemed to add to it's vintage feel and I just went with it.

Compatible with Windows 98/Me or later, Fortres 101 v5.0 features color-coding that allows administrators to view security settings at a glance. Global settings can be altered to apply to different groups, thereby preventing inadvertent or malicious changes to system settings. In addition, the program offers the ability to restrict/block local hard drives and removable floppy disk drives, as well as any local file, folder or application. Educational pricing for Fortres 101 v5.0 starts at $59 for a single CPU license and $20 for an upgraded CPU license. For more information, visit www.fortres.com.

Join Us for Exciting Small Group Adventures in Costa Rica, Nicaragua & Panama…
|Our sense of adventure began long before we created the first SOAR Inflatable canoes in 1992. "A love for rivers, where they take us, what we discover exploring their corridors and the many friendships forged along the way." This is the inspiration and motivation for a truly creative, unique brand of adventure trips.
|We use backroads and riverways as our primary means of discovery in Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua, taking you safely into remote places rarely visited by adventure travelers. Bring your cameras and binoculars, because once there, you will encounter one of the most bio-diverse regions on the planet, and see a wide variety of tropical animals, birds and plants. You will meet local people who will warm your hearts and perhaps fill your bellies with wonderfully wholesome meals. By night, you'll be snugly nestled into a comfortable bed, well-fed, tired from a great day, and anxious to sleep because tomorrow holds more surprises.
|Soar 2 Adventure trips are designed for active, curious adults who want travel to unusual places, experience exciting activities, people, culture and adventure in a well-planned low risk environment. All SOAR 2 Adventure trips begin in easily-accessible San Jose, Costa Rica. From there, our destinations in Costa Rica, southern Nicaragua, and western Panama are easily reached by short drives. We are thrilled to be offering exciting itineraries to these three Central American countries that could not be more different from each other! We also create custom itineraries led by "Fofo" for your group (families, birders, whitewater paddlers) designed around your specific interests.
|We offer three distinctly different trips and a travel accessories store to maximize your travel comfort: Costa Rica Adventure, Nicaragua Adventure and Panama Adventure. Visit our Adventure Travel Store also! From years of living out of dry bags and small duffels, SOAR owner Larry Laba has found a lot of practical items that he never leaves home without. For your convenience, safety and comfort, we offer a small selection of quality merchandise that makes it even easier to enjoy your adventures.
|Costa Rica… is our premier adventure travel destination. You will find a paradise for educational and safe wildlife viewing and active adventure in both 7 and 11 day itineraries. We offer a whole new way to explore warm water rivers teeming with exotic birds, wild life, and reptiles lead by English speaking guides and naturalists. You'll discover eco-systems and natural history while exploring easy rivers… class I, II, and an optional Class III for even more excitement. We also hike, zip line, swim beneath waterfalls, ride bikes and horses, dine on healthy Costa Rican cuisine, sleep in comfortable country lodging and relax on beautiful beaches.
|Nicaragua… is our adventure destination with a trip title "Nicaragua…"To Paddle Back in Time". Imagine Costa Rica 50 years ago… no hustle and bustle where we travel and have a very authentic experience. As we travel along rarely visited tributaries of the historical Rio San Juan, we will encounter locals in dugout canoes, families washing clothes, bathing and fishing along its banks. We'll visit a 17th century fort that protected Spain's interests from marauding "Pirates of the Caribbean" such as Sir Francis Drake! Tourist infrastructure is very simple, but comfortable. Roads, when we occasionally use them are bumpy. Birds, wildlife and monkeys are everywhere! You will hear the deep-throated roars of howler monkeys virtually every day!
|Panama Hat Trick… is our newest adventure. We take you on an exploration of a small region of western Panama, rich in rivers, cloud forests and exquisite tropical islands, hence the title: "Rivers, Rainbows & Remote Islands". Using a charming mountain town as our base, we will discover an exciting region as renowned for world-class coffee, as it is a great region for outdoor enthusiasts. Then we make for the Pacific Coast, and make our home a la Robinson Crusoe on a semi-deserted island where we will be treated to the magic of a marine sanctuary dotted with tiny islands. Beach-combing, snorkeling, paddling in mangroves, hiking, fishing and relaxing await you!
|"We have almost never gone on guided trips, but there is NO WAY we would have had this much fun!"
