Product Description
- Restores balance to the imune system
- Stimulates on underactive immune system
- Safe and effective for all ages
Symbiotics® Proline Rich Polypeptides with Colostrum PLUS® is one of the most concentrated forms of proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs) available as a dietary supplement. Newborns who breastfeed get a head start in immunity through the PRP's and other immune factors they get from their mother's Colostrum. This is often called "Passive Immunity." Symbiotics® Proline Rich Polypeptides with Colostrum PLUS® adds back PRPs that you can't get from any other kind of dietary supplement.*
PRPs are extracted from bovine colostrum – dairy cows are the most abundant source of raw colostrum available today. The PRPs in bovine colostrum are the same as all other mammals and can be used as a health supplement for all other mammal species, including humans.
The potency of each PRP Powder batch is analytically validated using a HPLC/UV/MS system. It is specified to contain a minimum of 8% PRPs and it's coated with Symbiotics BIO-lipid™ coating to ensure peak bioavailability.*
Symbiotics® Proline Rich Polypeptides with Colostrum PLUS® comes from USDA Grade A dairies that are hormone, pesticide, antibiotics and rBST free. We use only the first 2 milkings to guarantee potency and quality.
Quality and Purity Guaranteed – We guarantee that this product meets the highest standards of quality, purity and freshness. Each bottle is safety wrapped with an outer wrap and inner seal. Do not use if outer wrap is broken or missing.

Caroline Wozniacki made it back to the BNP Paribas Open women's final at Indian Wells on Friday night, fighting her way through a 2-hour 28-minute marathon that was mostly distinguishable by moonballs and service breaks.
Eighth-seeded Wozniacki of Denmark beat fourth-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5. In the deciding set, there were seven service breaks, and Wozniacki held on despite giving up leads of 4-1 and 5-3. There were 14 service breaks in the match.
Wozniacki, a former No. 1 player who took the BNP Paribas Open title in 2011, will play the winner of the late match between Russian players Maria Kirilenko and Maria Sharapova. Sharapova, also a former No. 1 player and champion here in 2006, was the highest-seeded player of the semifinalists at No. 2.

The final will be played Sunday.
The men's quarterfinals brought one surprise. Andy Murray lost.
The Scottish star, No. 3 in the world, who won the Olympic gold medal, then the U.S. Open and made it all the way to the Australian Open final before losing to Novak Djokovic, met his match in No. 7 Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina. Del Potro, former U.S. Open champion, whose forehand is not so much a forehand as a cannon, won the 2-hour 32-minute tussle, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-1.
"He played like somebody who has won a lot of matches recently," said Murray, who hasn't.
Murray took a long break between the Australian and Indian Wells to work on his fitness. On Friday, his fitness was fine, but his game was inconsistent. He forced only two break points and converted neither. He also had eight double faults.
Del Potro entered the match with a 14-3 season record and one tour title already this year.
He will play No. 1 and red-hot Djokovic of Serbia in a Saturday semifinal. Djokovic's victory, a 6-3, 6-1 romp past Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, extended his current winning streak to 22 matches, including 17 to start this season.
"It was a day for me without sensation," Tsonga said.
The other men's semifinal Saturday will match Rafael Nadal and Tomas Berdych, who advanced Thursday.

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London have undeniably captivated the world, and one Syracuse University staff member is doing her part to make this global-scale event in her home city a success.
From the beginning of the games, Ria Bourne, assistant director of SU's center in London, volunteered her time to serve as a "Games Maker," one of the 70,000 brightly clad, cheerful volunteers helping attendees find seats, providing directions and information, and ensuring spectators have a safe and enjoyable time.
"It's been such an amazing experience to be a part of the games—especially since they are happening essentially in my backyard!" says Bourne, who lives in West London and has commuted to the Olympic Park in the East London neighborhood of Stratford to volunteer.
She was originally selected out of a pool of more than 240,000 applicants to serve as an Event Services team member at the Copper Box, home to the 7,000-seat venue for handball and modern pentathlon.
But she quickly found out that she would be taking on much more responsibility.
"When I arrived on my first day of volunteering," recalls Bourne, "it turned out that our team was one team leader short, so I stepped up and have been a leader ever since." As a team leader, Bourne manages a team of 6-10 fellow volunteers at the venue.
Besides developing an appreciation for handball—a sport of which she was previously completely unaware—Bourne has reveled in the overwhelmingly positive spirit surrounding the games. She's seen hundreds of Norwegian fans donning (and banging) cowbells, welcomed UK Prime Minister David Cameron, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton to the handball venue, and heard her national anthem being played at the nearby Olympic Stadium for UK track & field athlete Jessica Ennis' heptathlon gold.
Bourne has worked for SU London since 2010, and started her role as the center's assistant director earlier this year. Among her many responsibilities is coordinating new student orientation, and when the fall 2012 group of SU London students arrive in early September, Bourne will be able to regale them with stories from her amazing Olympic experience.

Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal Cancer - Latest Research
ON THIS PAGE: You will read about the scientific research being done now to learn more about these types of cancer and how to treat them. To see other pages in this guide, use the colored boxes on the right side of your screen, or click "Next" at the bottom.
Doctors are working to learn more about laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer, ways to prevent them, how to best treat them, and how to provide the best care to people diagnosed with these diseases. The following areas of research may include new options for patients through clinical trials [2]. Always talk with your doctor about the diagnostic and treatment options best for you.
Radiation therapy approaches. Researchers are evaluating more effective ways of using radiation treatment. One promising approach, radiosensitization, involves giving drugs that make the cancer cells more sensitive to radiation therapy so they can be destroyed more easily. Another approach is called hyperfractionated radiation therapy, in which radiation therapy is given in several small doses per day.
Targeted and tumor-specific therapy. Increasing knowledge of the biology of cancer is leading to the development of biologic and targeted therapies. Multiple new drugs are currently under various stages of development. They offer real hope for targeted tumor-specific approaches for these types of cancer (and head and neck cancer, in general).
As discussed in the Treatment [3] section, cetuximab (a monoclonal antibody directed at the epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR) is already approved for use with current radiation therapy approaches. A monoclonal antibody is a type of targeted therapy. It is directed against a specific protein in the cancer cells, in this case EGFR, and it does not affect cells that don't have that protein. Other EGFR inhibitors under study are erlotinib (Tarceva), gefitinib (Iressa), lapatinib (Tykerb), and panitumumab (Vectibix), often in combination with other treatments.
In addition, another avenue researchers are studying includes antiangiogenesis. This explores how tumors develop their blood supply and how drugs can disrupt that. Drugs under investigation in this area include bevacizumab (Avastin) and sunitinib (Sutent). The hope is that these and other more targeted therapies will offer new treatment options with equal or greater effectiveness and fewer side effects. Learn more about targeted therapy [4].
Chemoprevention [5]. Researchers are evaluating the benefits of using chemotherapy as a way to prevent second cancers following treatment.
Photodynamic therapy. In photodynamic therapy, a substance that is photosensitive (sensitive to light) is injected into the blood. Cancer cells hold onto the substance longer than normal cells. Then, laser lights are directed at the area of the tumor, and the substance in the cells is activated to destroy the cancer cells.
Supportive care. Clinical trials are underway to find better ways of reducing symptoms and side effects of current laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer treatments in order to improve patients' comfort and quality of life.
To find clinical trials specific to your diagnosis, talk with your doctor or search online clinical trial databases now [6]. Please note this link will take you outside of this guide.
To continue reading this guide, choose "Next" (below, right) to see a section about coping with the side effects of laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer or cancer treatment. Or, use the colored boxes located on the right side of your screen to visit any section.

With improved prices and demand from tobacco companies, burley tobacco production is making a slight rebound in Hardin County.
With many growers increasing acreage, changing the companies with which they contracted, and some growing the crop again for the first time in several years, many producers this year will encounter some changes. One of these changes includes the requirement or strong recommendation of GAP certification for all contracted growers.

(Art and photo by Paul Loughridge)
When artist Paul Loughridge (AKA "Lockwasher") looks at metal scraps, soda cans and abandoned electronics, he sees potential creatures and droids just waiting to come to life. He's made whimsical robots, insects, people and other metal beings from junk we normally throw away. Most recently, he's created Beer2-D3, a distant cousin of R2-D2 made from a mini-keg.
Starwars.com chats with Paul about his art.
Why did you decide to give R2-D2 a friend?
While rummaging around in my laboratory (garage) for parts I accidentally knocked a tractor headlight directly on top of the beer keg. The diameters of the two match perfectly. That's when I realized the Force was strong with this one and fabrication commenced. Plus I was exhibiting at a large toy/collectibles show and wanted to have something special for all the Star Wars fans.
What is Beer2-D3 made from?
Beer2′s technical specs:
Head – 1945 chrome BLC utility light shell.
Eye - vintage movie camera lens w/adjustable spring-loaded aluminum casing.
Body – 4.7 liter "adult soda" mini-keg.
Legs – propane tank valve handles, brass spacers, drilled-out washers, pair of aluminum Lady Josephine shoe butler (wall-mounted shoe shine holders).
Feet/base – 3 mini bread loaf pans, lamp hardware and a 1/2″ precision drilled aluminum base plate.
+assorted nuts, bolts, screws and, of course – lockwashers!
What made you want to create robot art out of stuff people usual toss in the trash?
I enjoyed a childhood rich in mechanical mischief. My brothers and I were always tearing stuff apart, tweaking and rebuilding. I vividly remember going to the local dump with my dad and as he was busy off-loading trash from the ol' station wagon me and my bros where scavenging around looking for bike parts, baby carriage wheels — you know, all the really good stuff. Looking back now it's hard to believe dad allowed us to return home with our ill-gotten booty — "the reason we went to the dump was to get rid of junk — not bring it home!" Thanks Dad.
It was this early "creative-recycling" that must have struck a cord with me. To this day the idea entering my "lab" and cobbling together a found object sculpture is immensely satisfying.
What's the most unusual robot you've made so far?
Most unusual, hmmm — that's a tough one as they're all completely different. I'd have to RecycleMan and Son is as strange as I've gotten to date. I created this large robot and son torso and entered it in a local sculpture competition. Out of 400 pieces submitted mine was one of 50 selected for the show. In the end I was delighted with a 3rd place award for my my Father/son-generational-recycling-message-piece.
Any last creative words of inspiration for would-be artists out there?
The creative process never seems to get old. Over the years I've amassed a two-car garage worth of yet to be assembled robot parts so it goes without saying that it'll be a long time to go in a galaxy far, far away before I close the doors to my lab.
Thanks Official Star Wars Blog…May the Force beer with you.

Pancreatitis (cont.)
In this Article
What are the symptoms of chronic pancreatitis?
Most people with chronic pancreatitis experience upper abdominal pain, although some people have no pain at all. The pain may spread to the back, feel worse when eating or drinking, and become constant and disabling. In some cases, abdominal pain goes away as the condition worsens, most likely because the pancreas is no longer making digestive enzymes. Other symptoms include:
People with chronic pancreatitis often lose weight, even when their appetite and eating habits are normal. The weight loss occurs because the body does not secrete enough pancreatic enzymes to digest food, so nutrients are not absorbed normally. Poor digestion leads to malnutrition due to excretion of fat in the stool.
How is chronic pancreatitis diagnosed?
Chronic pancreatitis is often confused with acute pancreatitis because the symptoms are similar. As with acute pancreatitis, the doctor will conduct a thorough medical history and physical examination. Blood tests may help the doctor know if the pancreas is still making enough digestive enzymes, but sometimes these enzymes appear normal even though the person has chronic pancreatitis.
In more advanced stages of pancreatitis, when malabsorption and diabetes can occur, the doctor may order blood, urine, and stool tests to help diagnose chronic pancreatitis and monitor its progression.
After ordering X-rays of the abdomen, the doctor will conduct one or more of the tests used to diagnose acute pancreatitis - abdominal ultrasound, CT scan, EUS, and MRCP.

Welcome to Minot State University's Web site. Whether you are a prospective student, an alumnus, or are simply curious about the university, I invite you to visit this site to explore Minot State University.
Here you will find information about enrolling at the university, campus news and events, Beaver athletics and items of special interest to our alumni.
It is an exciting time at Minot State University. While we are looking ahead to our centennial in 2013, we've been busy improving learning and living on our campus.
Looking ahead to our future graduates
Over the past year and a half, MSU has embarked on a broad-based strategic planning process. At the heart of this effort has been the question, "What do we, as an institution, want our graduates to be known for?"
We believe that you, the MSU graduate of the future, will be known for vision, creativity, compassion, tolerance, character, sound judgment, and commitment to the life of the community and the common good. Confident, insightful and learned, and devoted to life-long learning, you will be well prepared for the future, and capable of realizing positive achievements and accomplishments in career, in life, and in service to others.
The faculty and staff of Minot State University are devoted to helping you become this graduate. We will provide you the opportunity to gain broad and in-depth knowledge and effective critical thinking and communication skills through rigorous study, and strong and engaging learning experiences.
You will be engaged in theory, research, hands-on study, service learning, civic activities, internships, volunteerism, experiential learning activities, and other practices that connect the contemporary classroom with the needs, problems, and experience of civic life and place.
Our purpose is to help you connect, engage, and understand the power of knowledge merging with application. It is, indeed, a potent way to learn, and we look forward to helping you embody the Minot State University graduate of the future.
New ways to help our students get better acclimated
How do we help you become the graduate of the future? One way is to make certain that you get started on the right foot. We have taken steps to do a better job helping our new students become familiar with our university. As a result, we are now asking all of our first-year students to participate in new student orientation activities. This two-day session has proven extremely valuable as a "one-stop opportunity" to learn about our campus, its services, and its procedures. It is also a great chance to meet other students, who like you are new to the MSU experience, and to make new friends.
Another new student service is the Mentoring Program, which has been established to supplement the role of academic advisors. Mentors promote on-campus involvement, provide guidance, and foster personal growth for "mentees." This year about 150 students have been teamed up with 43 faculty and staff mentors, serving nearly one-third of our first-year population. We can't wait until next year when our mentees grow into peer mentors for freshman students.
New friendly spaces for students
As I said earlier, we've been busy improving living on our campus. One of our residence halls for upperclassmen has undergone a $4.7 million remodel to better meet today's housing expectations. Crane Hall is now configured into three-room suites containing a bathroom and two adjacent study/sleeping rooms. A laundry room, lounge and cooking facilities are conveniently located on each floor. Crane Hall joins Lura Manor in offering suite-style living. Be sure to visit both facilities, along with our other residence halls when you tour campus.
When I came to MSU two years ago, one of my first observations was that our Student Union was too quiet. I'm pleased to tell you that a new $1.15 million student activity center opened this fall. The "Beaver Dam" is meeting with student approval and making noise in the Student Union. I stopped by there during a recent Minnesota Twins playoff game and it was packed. The center contains a fireplace, supreme sound system, digital jukebox, plasma big-screen TVs, pool tables, electronic shuffleboard, and a portable dance floor and stage. Made-to-order food items and Starbucks coffee products are available.
Our beautiful Gordon B. Olson library now has a kiosk where students and faculty can purchase coffee and other refreshments when they come to study or do research.
The 3 A's: athletics, arts, and activities
You'll find that we are fond of all things "Beaver." Beaver, you ask? Yes, that pesky, industrious, unauthorized dam-building mammal. The animals were prevalent among the habitat of the scenic, winding Souris River when the school was founded in 1913. Beaver pelts were highly prized for hats and coats and an important commodity in the fur trade that helped establish the Northwest Territory. Out of sheer admiration for their numbers, tenacity, and value, the Beaver mascot was born at Minot State in the 1920s and our university has a proud, successful tradition of Beaver athletics. And when it comes to athletics - pesky, industrious, tenacious and valuable - are great adjectives to apply.
We are a lively intellectual and cultural campus as well. Our faculty and our students seize opportunities to share their talents in the arts and humanities, not only with our campus but throughout the area. Minot State University houses three theaters, two art galleries, and a state-of-the art performance hall. We often host renowned artists, musicians, thinkers, poets, and writers and welcome community and alumni participation at events sponsored by the university.
Our campus is also home to the most current technology, including state-of-the-art computer labs, wireless capabilities, online courses, instructional technology supplementing existing courses, and an Instructional Technology Center (ITC) that provides prompt and friendly support to our students, faculty, and staff.
Student clubs, organizations, and activities also provide vitality. Minot State has over 40 student clubs and organizations representing drama, intramural sports, music, and student government, to name a few. The Student Activities Committee keeps things hopping with regularly scheduled events such as movies, dances, hypnotists, comedians, and concerts.
All of these facets contribute to a stimulating atmosphere for an undergraduate or a graduate student, and the combination of them is what makes a university experience. I urge students to take advantage of all that is offered. It is through your full participation and our commitment to your success that you will come to grow, achieve satisfaction, and truly appreciate life and learning. We look forward to congratulating you on your accomplishment when you cross the stage at commencement exercises and receive your diploma. You will be the MSU graduate of the future.
Please explore or reacquaint yourself with all that is Minot State University - through this Web site and, certainly, through a visit to our campus. We are an invigorating, friendly, and student-centered place, and I invite you to join us.
David Fuller, Ph.D.

Inepensive but cerainly does work - from a light sting to OMG. If this one ever wears out I would not think twice about buying another one!
Was this review helpful for you?
My partner and I had a lot of fun with this. We were pleasantly surprized at the quality for the price. The end kinda smacks with just enough to cause a squirm but not leave a bruse. Buns become pink after a few times and when it is traced up and down and inbetween it is very erotic for bolth. Something about the leather feal and what its used for is very arousing and is great four play that will make all your senses rise for when it is time to enter your partner. I would recomend this for all those that like to play and a hog tie also works well with it ;)

This crop worked exactly for what it was intended. I am helping a new mistress learn the secrets of this type lifestyle and was not wanting to invest a lot of money in case she decided it was not for her. when the crop arrived I was bit dissapointed but for 3 bucks it was exactly what I was expecting. It was all leather but it had a good sting to it. It was rather flimsy and took her a while to learn the sweet spot-but when she did the lashes were like kisses from heaven!!Was falling apart by the end of a three hour session but gave her enough of a feel for it that we are now looking at high quality crops!!!

The shaft is made completely from braided leather or rather some synthetic material. This allows the shaft to bend too much for my taste, I think that the shaft should not bend, but should just barely flex. I thought (when ordering) that it might have had plastic or something running the length of the shaft to stiffen it, which was then braided over for asthetic purpouses but, as far as I can tell, it does not. It would be rather nice though if you are wanting a short and relatively stiff whip/flogger, but as far as expecting a stiff shaft dont hold your breath.

The history of the Kimono
Originally, 'Kimono' was the Japanese word for clothing. In more recent years, the word now refers specifically to traditional dress.
Known as the straight-line cut method, pieces of fabric would be cut in straight lines and sewn together - in this way, kimono makers didn't concern themselves with the shape of the wearer's body.

Is Manning's 35-year sentence fair?Wednesday, August 21st, 2013
A military judge has sentenced Army Pfc. Bradley Manning to 35 years in prison. That's about one year for every 20,000 pages of documents he leaked.
The documents and other material Manning stole and disseminated via Wikileaks included embarrassing foreign cables and video evidence that a U.S. helicopter attack in Iraq killed civilians.
Manning could have received up to 90 years in prison, and prosecutors had asked for a sentence of 60 years. Defense lawyers had asked for a term no longer than 25 years.
Manning also will be reduced in rank, forfeit pay and benefits and receive a dishonorable discharge.
The New York Times reports that Manning will be eligible for parole in just over eight years.
Supporters contend that Manning is whistle blower who revealed government corruption and lies. As with Edward Snowden — who is a civilian contractor who leaked information about government spying — they believe Manning should serve no time.
What do you think? Is Manning's 35-year sentence fair? Take our poll and/or leave a comment.

They say that it's a licensing limitation... DTS will not license anything other than Bluray players and AVRs with DTS-HD MA.
So that means:
1) Everyone else is implementing it illegally.
2) WD Doesn't understand that no license should be needed for PASSTHROUGH, only for DECODE, and keeps asking for a license. Meaning their lawyers don't know what they're doing.
I think it's #2.
Yes, you do get the CORE 5.1 in DTS-HD MA tracks.

Although I hate to admit that Microsoft is capable of making a good product, I will concede that the Xbox 360 is an excellent gaming system. I love it because it is capable so many things that I take advantage of. The gaming alone is excellent, and with an HDMI cable, the graphics are incredible and the games are realistic and entertaining unlike the childish games made for the Nintendo Wii. Also, the controller has a more natural feel and set up to it, unlike the over-simplified Sony Playstation controllers. As for the accessories, there are a slew of social networking possibilities, including Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft Messenger, and voice chatting during games such as Call of Duty. You have access to your Netflix account and instant watch if you are a member, and you get a free membership to last.fm, an internet radio station that analyzes your preferences much like Pandora. Many of these things come only with the Xbox Live Gold Membership, but you can not play multiplayer online without it, and it comes at a very reasonable $8 per month if you buy month to month, and something like $4.50 if you buy a full year. Perhaps the best feature for me is that I can connect my external hard drive that I use for my computer which contains all my media, all my movies, and watch any of them on my big screen TV without having to use a complicated system of expensive converters to connect to my TV. And, if you have a PC, Windows Media Center makes the integration between your computer and your Xbox's media files seamless, allowing you to watch or listen to all your favorite media on your TV.
And in the interest of being a critical thinker, I'll admit a few of it's downsides. For one, it can't play Blu Ray's like a PS3 can which means you will have to buy a $100 - $250 Blu Ray player if you want to watch them. Also, all the accessories are expensive. A controller is $50 or more, each game, if it is new and popular is $60, a larger hard drive for the system could be $170. I would recommend looking on Newegg.com, Amazon.com, and Ebay.com for good deals on the accessories before you go to a game shop and buy them.
This game console has to be the best out there! With great graphics on all of the games there is, this is the best. But no matter how long you will have your xbox, you will always love xbox live. Xbox live does cost money on the xbox, 1 Month=8 USD, 3 Months=20 USD, 12 Months=50 USD, but it is worth it. If I were you I would buy the 12 Month Xbox live pack for 50 dollars becuase this saves you a ton of money! Xbox live is where you connect with millions of people over the internet. Connect with friends family and people you do not know! Play many games online too, like Call of duty, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, and many other games! Xbox live lets you chat with people also on games that do not have the xbox live feature. With xbox live you can also download game demos that give you a look at the game you want to buy before you buy it! Which can save you lots of money and time! Xbox live also lets you download movies and tv shows for xbox live microsoft points! you can buy microsoft points to download many downloads like movies, games, and game downloads. Some of the game downloads consists of new maps for call of duty games, new places for fallout 3, new items or guns for a certain game, the list is endless. Microsoft does a great job for almost every game there is out there, there will be an update, or a game add on. To get xbox live though you will need a hard drive, not one of those small memory cards or chips. The hard drives come in 20gb, 60gb, 120gb, and 250gb. The prices for the hard drives do range depending on where you get them. If I were you I would not buy the hard drives at gamestop or a video game store, I would get them on ebay! I got a 60gb hard drive that works great for my xbox 360 for 50 dollars less then what I would of had to pay in the store! The savings that you can get on games and items and accessories for the 360 on ebay is very good. The next thing I am going to talk to you about is the controllers! The controllers for this console can be wired, or wireless. When you buy a wireless controller the first thing that you have to do is sync that controller to your xbox 360. The good thing about those controllers is many things. The controllers first of all are very confortable (The wireless Ones), the fit your hand perfectly, second there is a very good range of how far away you can get with the controllers, sometimes I will have my microphone plugged in and I will be talking to poeple and I will have to use the bathroom. I will take the controller with me so I don't have to stop talking and my bathroom is on the other side of the house and I am still able to talk because of the range of the controller, and third the wireless controllers are able to sync to many different xbox 360's after you have synced it to yours! The wired controllers are pretty good, depending on the ones that you buy! The original microsoft ones are the best, they don't need batteries they have long cords and they last a long time (so do the wireless ones) and they are cheaper then the wireless ones too. Well the very last thing that I am going to talk to you about is the xbox 360 lifetime. WIth lifetime I mean how long it will be popular. The 360 has been around for at least 6 years and will be around for another 6 years. They will probably never stop making games for this system. But another thing with the lifetime is the 360, always have yours lying down and not sitting up because that can damage the 360 games and interior! 3500 characters baby!!!
I really think the Arcade unit is not suited to most people.
You need the Hard Drive for So Many things.
There are always Game Updates that are Mandatory for Online Play and a 256 Meg Card will fill up quick.
Then if you want Map Packs, Demos, or to Play Original XBox Games you are gonna need the Hard Drive.
The Arcade unit is really there to Sucker people in with the $199 price.
Then you will end up buying a Hard Drive for another $100, then you will buy a High Def Cable for another $50, Then you might buy the Wireless adapter for another $100... It keeps going, I feel Microsoft is Trying to Nickel and Dime me to Death. Not to Mention XBox Live...
All in all My XBox 360 has cost a TON more than my PS3 did.
I bought both at Launch of each system.
My 360: Totaling $900
Console $400 + Wireless $100 + XBox Live $50 (Times 4 so far = $200)
Then I got the Red Ring of Death 3 Times so I bought this Arcade Unit as a Replacement $200.
My PS3: Totaling $600
I bought the 60 Gig at Launch.
Granted all the Prices have changed since then.
So It comes down to Quality and the Price to Play each system Online that I give the XBox Only a 3 Star Rating. I love the Halo Series which is why we keep the 360 around. Since I cannot trust the Quality we Mainly buy all Multi-Platform Games for our PS3. Also because Online is Free on the PS3 and we can have a separate profile for all 4 Family Members. XBox Live REALLY needs a Gold Pack for Families. The Buddy List is not real helpful when more than one Family member is sharing that online persona... and I cannot see paying $50 per year per person for Live... We have 4 Gamers in our Family and we are NOT paying $200 a year just to play our games online...
Now if you are buying an Arcade unit to Replace an Original XBox360 that is Having way too many problems like me then this is the way to go. You get a newer unit with a Warranty. It is Cheaper and You can just Snap your Old Hard Drive on to it and you are up and Running. This is why I call it the "Red Ring of Death Replacement Unit"
this is a very good gaming consol
original design with the Xbox Arcade (12 by 3 by 10 inches, HWD). In fact, except that its profile is thinner because it lacks a hard drive, it looks almost exactly the same as any other white Xbox 360. (The Elite is the only Xbox with a black finish.) On the front panel you will find a large on/off button, an IR receiver, a loading tray for DVDs and games, and two slots for memory cards. On the back of the console you will find USB, HDMI, and Ethernet ports. The Arcade ships with a wireless controller and a 512MB memory card but not much else; you basically get just enough to get started. It does come, however, with five Xbox Live Arcade games (Pac-Man, UNO, Luxor 2, Boom Boom Rocket, and Feeding Frenzy) so you can play something immediately.
Buzz up!
on Yahoo!
Internally, the Xbox Arcade is not much different from its predecessors. The Arcade features the same triple-core 3.2-GHz, 95nm IBM CPU as the other Xbox 360s—at least that's the official Microsoft line. It's a poorly kept secret that Microsoft has been updating its new Xboxes with a new 65nm chip, but the company's representatives will not comment on this. And I don't blame them. They have thousands of consoles on the market and don't want to get stuck with a glut of older SKUs. Sony introduced its smaller, more energy-efficient 65nm processor with the launch of the 40GB PS3. Both the PS3 and the 360 processors, new and old, blow the Nintendo Wii's 729-MHz chip right out of the water. Then again, if you buy a Wii you are probably looking for a different gaming experience.
Game is great! Super graphics and easy to set up. The whole family has been playing, great variety of games, something for everyone. Game controller that came with system was wireless and we also bought a corded, both work fine and are easy to learn to use. We have two memory cards and this is more than sufficient. Have not tried the Live feature yet, as the wireless network piece is kind of spendy (Christmas present perhaps)! Overall, am enjoying the new system and glad that I bought the bundle package.

RUTHERFORD COUNTY, Tenn.- As the tragic event in Newtown remains front of mind, police and school leaders in the mid-state are coming together to discuss additional tactics to keep children safe at school.
On Wednesday a meeting was held between the Rutherford County Sheriff, the Rutherford County Schools Superintendent and several state representatives to discuss school safety. The unexpected and horrific events in Newtown, Connecticut motivated the round table at Murfreesboro's Riverdale High School.
Officials met to discuss what more could be done to protect students while at school.
"If you have that SRO at the school that is his job to engage the threat and annihilate the threat," explained Rutherford County Sheriff Robert Arnold.
While hiring additional School Resource Officers or SROs in schools was one suggestion the topic of conversation soon turned to possibly arming school faculty. One school in Texas, has given teachers who carry gun permits and have gun training to serve as armed protectors if a Newtown or Columbine situation happens there.
"Not everybody is going to get selected. There may be some people that are weeded out, that they have the heart to want to do it, but they don't have the skills to do it. That's why I would like if we're going to do it here in Rutherford County that the Sheriff's Office be the lead agency train those people," said State Representative Joe Carr
Carr plans to present a bill to the house and senate next year regarding this issue. He said he sees a minimal requirement across the board and each district would decide on how strict they will get with a new law.
"I'm not saying it's going to cost anything, especially if we use existing school personnel. That mitigates in a big way. Let's not discount a good idea just because it may cost something," explained Carr.

There have been a lot of great Jokers over the long history of the Batman franchise, but our favorite is Mark Hamill for admittedly biased reasons (sorry, Cesar Romero). Hamill first took up the Joker mantle in the glory days of the '90s Batman animated series, and though others have played the role in more recent incarnations, the makers of Arkham Asylum rightly tapped Mark to reprise his high-energy performance as the quintessential Batman villain.
The Video Game Awards are looking for votes for the best voice performance in a 2009 video game, and Mark Hamill is one of the nominees. Head over there and make your voice heard by voting for him as your fave. The VGAs air live on Spike on December 12, at 8pm.

Can't say for sure from what you have described. You can use the fixture to junction wires that are associated with the light. As far as mixing voltages it depends on how the motion sensor is meant to be used.
The person that can give you a complete answer is your electrical inspector.

Merci: Parisian Concept Store
Store Profile
Store History
- Founded: 2009
- Founded by: Marie France Cohen
- Headquarters: Paris, France
After selling Bonpoint, the line of children's clothing she founded with her husband, Marie France Cohen opened this 15,000 square foot concept store in Paris. All profits go to a charity in Madagascar.
I usually head up to the furniture room, where I dream about my dream house as I drift among the different dining and living room arrangements. Then I'll take the elevator down to the basement where a more accessible array of items lures my eyes and my hands. I want to pick up everything — from the Duralex water glasses, to the My-Drap napkins, tiny enamel coffee mugs, and colorful and durable dishes made from bamboo. The only problem is trying to figure out whether to get a set of six bowls in one color, or one of each hue. They're only four euros each, and so pretty!
And all the store's profits go to a charity that helps women and children in Guatemala. Merci beaucoup, Merci!

I found the clothing to be prohibitively expensive, but there were some steals in the housewares/kitchen stuff on the lower level.

College of Dentistry Patient Care: Cavities
Cavities are caused by specific types of harmful germs that live in your mouth. These bacteria produce a strong acid when you eat sugary foods. The acid removes minerals from the tooth surface. The progressive loss of minerals will eventually produce a hole in your tooth.
Some cavities that are just starting can be reversed without placing fillings. If the damage to the tooth is irreversible, the dentist must place a filling in order to replace the diseased or weakened tooth structure.
It is important to understand that fillings are not a "cure" for cavities. Without proper home care, the same bacteria that produced the cavity in the first place may affect the tooth after a filling is placed. The goal of modern dentistry is to reduce the number of harmful bacteria in your mouth so that cavities will not occur.
Your tooth may become painful during the later stages of the decay process. That is why it is important to get regular dental check ups and treatment. Avoiding cavities and taking care of small ones before they become large will help to preserve your dental health for your whole life.

Renovation continues on rodeo grounds by M. Jill Karolevitz Local rodeo events have moved from one location to the other over the years, but a permanent home is the goal with this summer�s completion of the rodeo grounds renovation at Clay County Park.
The University of South Dakota used to have a very active rodeo club and utilized rodeo grounds located across the street from Burger King, until the facility was built at Clay County Park. The National College Finals Rodeo was held there in 1969 and other events included annual Little Britches and amateur rodeos.
Time, however, took its toll on the grounds after rodeos were no longer held in the area.
But due to an agreement with the Clay County Park Board, Coyote Country Rodeo, Inc. members are now working to restore the facilities, which will be used for the organization�s annual Bull-a-rama event (formerly held at the Clay County 4-H grounds), along with other activities such as team penning, roping and barrel racing.
�The old arena is completely torn down,� said Andy Howe, Coyote Country Rodeo treasurer. �And we�re about 75 percent done with the assembly of the new arena. The parking lot is really taking shape as well. Holding pens, gates and painting are all that�s left to do.�
Coyote Country Rodeo members have been working every other Saturday to complete the renovation project.
�We�ve had great help, too, from Waage Construction,� Howe said. �Every time we�ve gone out there, Brian and Brad Waage have brought their skid loader, which makes moving the arena panels a lot easier than doing it by hand.�
The new steel arena was purchased from Bob McKay of O�Neill, NE, the stock contractor who provides bulls for Coyote Country Rodeo�s Bull-a-rama. It measures 100' x 200', with 6-foot high panels. The arena includes chutes and holding pens needed for various rodeo events.
The existing concession stand, lighting and roping chutes were still �in pretty good shape,� Howe said, �so we didn�t have to replace those, but we�ll eventually look at increasing the toilet facilities and Clay-Union Electric agreed to reset the light posts and check the electric system.�
A sound system is also needed, but Howe said as Coyote Country Rodeo plans its events, contracts will include a provision for announcers to bring their own sound equipment.
�We may get our own in the future, but this will work for now,� he said.
New spectator seating is also needed, Howe said.
�We�re still working on finding something affordable,� he said.
As the club members continue their labor on the rodeo grounds, they are also working to get corporate sponsors for advertising from September to September around the arena. They also hope to raise money with a community facilities rural development grant for which they have applied.
Coyote Country Rodeo members approached the Clay County Park Board late last summer about using the rodeo grounds. The board then agreed to purchase the new arena if Coyote Country Rodeo members provided the labor to install it.
The Clay County Park Board still owns the rodeo grounds, but Coyote Country Rodeo will be responsible for scheduling events and providing maintenance. The grounds are also no longer open to the public as they were in the past.
�In another month or so, the rodeo grounds should be functional,� Howe said. �If someone wants to use them, they can contact any Coyote Country Rodeo member or myself. We have nothing scheduled yet for this summer, but we hope to have team roping, team penning and barrel racing events all summer next year.�
The Bull-a-rama will definitely be held there this year on Sept. 9, he added, with team roping events on Sept. 10.

Competitive Enterprise Institute | 1899 L ST NW Floor 12, Washington, DC 20036 | Phone: 202-331-1010 | Fax: 202-331-0640
Washington, D.C., July 27, 2000 – "The EPA should get out of the business of brownfield cleanup and leave it to the states," argues Dana Joel Gattuso in a recently released Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) report. In Revitalizing Urban America: Cleaning Up the Brownfields [2], Gattuso illustrates that states have "proven to be the champions of brownfield remediation and re-use," while the federal government's track record has proven "dismal."
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Brownfields are generally defined as former industrial sites that parties will not redevelop because they fear liability for potential contamination. Under the federal Superfund law and many state laws, anyone remotely connected to a contaminated waste site – lenders, waste transporters, waste generators, property owners – can become liable for millions of dollars in cleanup costs regardless of actual guilt. Accordingly, few are willing to clean and restore these sites.
The states have begun to address this problem. States first reformed their Superfund laws to allow more flexible standards – producing 40,000 site cleanups according to one estimate. In recent years, states have begun passing brownfield laws that provide liability relief to parties that voluntarily clean sites as well as flexible cleanup standards and financial incentives. "In total," says Gattuso, "46 states operate some form of voluntary brownfield cleanup program." As a result, states have cleaned tens of thousands of brownfield sites.
In contrast, federal Superfund and brownfield programs leave much to be desired. "The EPA has provided a valuable lesson in what not to do," Gattuso remarks. Gattuso documents cases of fraud, abuse, and mismanagement of several federal brownfield programs. In addition, she notes that the federal Superfund law still applies to all sites – even those cleaned under state law. Accordingly, federal liability limits the benefits of state programs by scaring off some developers because they fear liability costs under federal law, even though states provide liability relief from their laws.
"The best aid Washington can provide to the states and localities is to de-link brownfield requirements from the failed Superfund program and then get out of the business of brownfields altogether, enabling the states to continue handling these sites without the straightjacket of federal restrictions," Gattuso concludes.
Copies of the study are available at www.cei.org [3] or by calling 202-331-1010. CEI, a non-profit, non-partisan public policy group founded in 1984, is dedicated to the principles of free enterprise and limited government.

One of the booths we were anxious to check out at Toy Fair this year was Uncle Milton's, due in no small part to the Force Trainer toy we reported on a few weeks ago with a follow up interview last week.
I actually got to test The Force Trainer for myself, and have to admit it does take some mental concentration — or perhaps lack thereof — to make the ball float. The key is to clear your mind to let the (Alpha? Beta? Gamma?) waves build up and register on the headset. So, actually thinking of nothing is the way to go. Not as easy as it sounds, it is. But great fun — and a great way to compare your Force ability to that of your busy-minded friends (who would perform poorly without turning down the mental processing a notch).
In addition to the Force Trainer, we found a bunch of other cool Star Wars toys heading our way from Uncle Milton, and were lucky to get our hands on their press release for some descriptions. Check out the images and descriptions after the jump!
Star Wars The Force Trainer
May the Force be with you! The Force Trainer by Uncle Milton actually allows you to control a Jedi Training Remote with your mind, by tapping into cutting-edge brainwave technology. Utilizing dry EEG sensor technology, the headset reads and interprets your brainwaves. The deeper your concentration and mental focus, the greater your ability to move the Training Sphere up or down the Training Tower. Progress from Padawan to Jedi Master as you master the use of "The Force" through 15 levels of training. Increasingly challenging sequences are aided by training cues and instruction from the master of all Jedi Masters himself, Yoda. Additional Star Wars sound effects confirm accomplishment and provide encouragement throughout your training. Advancement and current level of your training is displayed on the Training Tower control panel.
Ages 8 and up. SRP $129.99
Star Wars Optical Command Unit
Go on scouting missions or examine microscopic details with just one toy! The Optical Command Unit is a multi-functional reconnaissance device that can be assembled into three unique configurations – binoculars, magnifier and mini-projector. Learn about optics and visual projection with this 3-in-1 kit!
Ages 6 and up. SRP $34.99
Star Wars Darth Vader Robotic Arm
The Darth Vader Robotic Arm kit shows you how to build a robotic arm and lets you grip and move real objects with interactive controls. The arm assembles quickly with snap-together parts, and includes a stand with built-in controls. Kids will also learn how robotic arms are being used in medical science applications!
Ages 6 and up. SRP $44.99
Star Wars Naboo Sea Creatures
The Naboo Sea Creatures set is a detailed habitat for raising creatures similar to the denizens of that distant planet. Naboo Sea Creatures (Triops Longicaudatus) have existed on Earth for 350 million years and will grow and swim in a fascinating Naboo aquatic environment. The set includes Naboo Sea Creature eggs, just add water and watch them hatch!
Ages 6 and up. SRP $34.99
Star Wars Dagobah Frog Habitat
The Dagobah Frog Habitat is an exciting replica of Yoda's home planet, and the perfect place to watch the metamorphosis of tadpoles changing into frogs! Learn why frogs play an important role in Earth's eco-system while enjoying the Dagobah swamp theme. Includes mail-in coupon for live tadpoles.
Ages 6 and up. SRP $34.99
Star Wars Jedi Telescope
The Jedi Telescope can be used to scan our own skies, or to dial up images of iconic Star Wars planets and learn how they are similar to our own. This working telescope features built-in audio facts and sound effects, and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Features 10 Star Wars images.
Ages 6 and up. SRP $34.99
Star Wars Jedi Projector
The Jedi Projector displays bright, crisp projections of exclusive The Clone Wars vehicle images on your wall or ceiling. Also included is a CD audio tour that syncs with the images. Learn how vehicles from The Clone Wars share similarities with vehicle technology on Earth!
Ages 6 and up. SRP $44.99
Star Wars Mustafar Volcano Kit
The Mustafar Volcano Kit allows you to create realistic volcanic eruptions and lava flows in a detailed reproduction of the planet Mustafar. Learn how real volcanoes work through your lava experimentation!
Ages 6 and up. SRP $24.99
Don't miss our continuing photo coverage of all the Star Wars goodness appearing at New York's Toy Fair this year!

Kala Pocket Ukuleles starting to appear in the wild!Posted in Ukulele Deals, Ukulele News on April 14th, 2010 by Uke Guy – Be the first to comment
I've been waiting for the Kala Pocket Ukulele to make its appearance "in the wild", so to speak, for a few weeks now. If you recall, Kala sent me the Acacia model to test and review and I freaking love it. It's adorable, beautifully made and it sounds fantastic! But, I've been getting a lot of questions like "Where can I get one?", "How much will they cost?" and so on. I had originally heard that list on the Mahogany was going to be around $299 and list on the Acacia was $399. Yup, don't let the size fool you. These are beautiful, high quality instruments... they just happen to be teenie tiny.
The first place that I heard about the Kala Pocket Ukulele was Easy Music Center. I don't see a notice on their site that they have them for sale, yet, but it might be worthwhile contacting them. (UPDATE: They do have them at Easy Music Center! In fact, you can even see them in the picture below. Peter, said if you are interested to just e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com and he'll hook you up! Make sure and remember to mention Ukulele Guy to get the good deal.) Besides, wouldn't you want to buy a Ukulele from a store that has the WALL OF UKULELES [tm]! ;) Check it out:
But, for those of you who just can't wait, I have seen a few of these beauties popping up on eBay. So, here's what's currently out there right now. Good luck!
