Solve all your digestion and elimination problems with advanced support
- Keeps you regular without overstimulation
- Softens stools without gas or bloating
- Provides a quicker transit time for bowel movements
- Promotes healthy digestion
- Helps break down carbohydrates and lactose
- Supports immune health
If you have chronic digestive issues, this is the formula for you. I developed Probiotic Advantage® Extra Strength to include 10 billion healthy, live bacteria in the 10 most powerful strains for advanced relief.
- L. acidophilus: helps form colonies of good bacteria on your intestinal wall—creating a "fortress" that helps to keep unwanted organisms out of your gut—and supports proper immune function. Plus, new findings show that L. acidophilus helps to reduce occasional diarrhea and enhances your immune defenses.
- B. longum: plays a critical role in breaking down carbohydrates and is a significant free-radical fighter. Out of 19 lactic acid bacteria strains tested, it had the highest antioxidant capacity. Plus, there's a study that suggests B. longum may reduce the symptoms that come with seasonal irritants.
- B. lactis: helps decrease H. pylori, one of the "bad guy" bacteria that causes a good deal of trouble in your gut. Plus, it helps the production of natural killer cells—which are the front-line soldiers of your immune system.
- L. rhamnosus: the premier "travel probiotic"—reduces occurrences of traveler's diarrhea.
- L. plantarum: produces hydrogen peroxide, which acts as a weapon to protect your body.
Plus, five more strains including L. paracasei, L. salivarius, L. gasseri, B. bifidum, and B. infantis to help give you support for a stronger immune system and reverse your digestive problems.
This extra-strength formula also contains Actazin™, a powerful green kiwi extract from New Zealand. Its unique four-way action system boosts digestion and regularity with prebiotics, polyphenols, a special enzyme called actinidin, and insoluble fiber.
Prebiotics "supercharge" the probiotics you're getting—helping to set up bigger colonies of good bacteria to crowd out the bad. The polyphenols are a powerful group of antioxidants that help probiotics "set up camp"—to better adhere to the wall of your intestine.
Actinidin helps to increase gut motility. Its job is to keep the muscles of the gut functioning properly so everything flows smoothly. And insoluble fiber helps to move the probiotics through your system so they get where they need to be.
Probiotic Advantage Extra Strength also contains the award-winning patented, controlled-release BIO-tract® delivery system, which protects the delicate probiotics until they're past the stomach acid. Then, the probiotics are delivered evenly to your entire digestive system for guaranteed all-day relief. The probiotics are alive and working, thanks to a second new technology called LiveBac®.
LiveBac guarantees the probiotcs will be effective up to a year and a half after you buy the product. Other probiotic products don't have these innovative technologies to make gas, bloating, and constipation quickly disappear or guarantee the effectiveness through expiration.
If you haven't found relief with other digestive solutions, I encourage you to give Probiotic Advantage Extra Strength a try. You'll notice that the combination of probiotics, prebiotics, polyphenols, actinidin, and fiber can restore balance—even if you have the toughest digestive issues. All it takes is one tablet in the morning for trouble-free digestion all day long.

Amazing! My husband, son & daughter in law have been taking this along with the digestive enzymes about 2 months ago. All have pretty serious digestive issues. They have all had significant improvement! My son was taking heartburn medication daily, now he rarely has any stomach pain and is very regular. My husband has stopped taking his [prescription medication] and his stomach issues much less frequent and severe along with my daughter in law. Give it some time, we have spent many years messing up our health, it takes time for it to heal. I highly recommend. It has also helped their immune system!

Years ago my wife took (a prescription antibiotic) for an illness. It also killed the good type bacteria out with severe intestinal inflammation causing daily nausea and unpredictable dysentery continuing for over 2 years. She had weighed 110 and lost 15 lbs. Her doctor recommended a specialist and potential surgery for (a bowel condition). She went to another doctor, a family friend, and he helped her, but she couldn't gain weight or go off the very strict protein and veggie diet without a relapse of the nausea and diarhea. She tried numerous probiotics all through this process after the (prescription antibiotic), but none stopped the problems. Travel was nearly impossible. She finally tried Probiotic Advantage Extra Strength. She has gained the weight back and evidently the inflammation is going away as the symptoms have gone and she has been able to expand her diet so long as she stays away from, wheat, gluten, and sugar. My wife and I are very grateful to Dr. Williams for his work on what is evidently a widespread health problem.

Science and Quality
- Individuals with milk sensitivities are able to tolerate dairy that includes probiotics better than dairy lacking probiotics.1
- In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, patients taking L. acidophilus experienced significantly more relief from their gastrointestinal discomfort than did those taking a placebo.2
- Supplementation with probiotics including L. acidophilus and B. bifidum helps modulate the response of the intestinal microflora to the effects of antibiotics.3
- A meta-analysis of double-blind human trials found that probiotic strains, including L. acidophilus, help to alleviate occasional diarrhea.4
- Oral use of L. acidophilus may support vaginal health.5
- In a study of 33 constipated patients and 20 healthy volunteers, each group was given a 4-week treatment of kiwi fruit twice daily. Complete spontaneous bowel motion increased in the constipated group. There was also improvement in scores for satisfaction of bowel habit, transit time, and rectal sensation. No change occurred in the healthy subjects.6

Notice of Petition - "Compensation, Retirement Programs and Related Benefits"
Peggy Jo Jones
3216 S. Rookery Lane
Boise, ID 83706-5471
April 20, 2013
Barry F Mardock
Deputy Director, Office of Regulatory Policy, Farm Credit Administration
1501 Farm Credit Drive
McLean, VA 22102-5090
Dear Barry Mardock:
Thank you for requesting comment on the regulatory petition filed by The
Farm Credit Council regarding the Agency's say on pay mandatory
shareholder vote on compensation matters.
As an Outside Appointed Director of Farm Credit East, I support the
request contained in the Council's petition that the agency withdraw the
say on pay vote requirement. Asking shareholders to vote on matters that
are the purview of the board of directors is inconsistent with the Farm
Credit Act, with cooperative principles, undermines the role and
responsibility of directors to represent the interests of shareholders and
increases litigation exposure for directors and institutions. Shareholder
engagement on compensation matters already exists through the disclosure
requirements that are in place and the ability of shareholders to express
their views on these matters to management and boards at any time.
As a member of the board's Compensation Committee, I feel this provision
also undermines the responsibility that FCA has given that Committee. FCA
has strenghten the accountablity of this committer in the past few years
and this provision takes that away.
Please modify the final rule on compensation and benefit program
disclosure to remove the requirement for say on pay voting.
Peggy Jo Jones

Mr. Thompson attended elementary school in McCrory and was a graduate of the Columbia Military Academy, Franklin, TN. He attended Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN prior to serving in the Army during World War II. During his basic training he was stationed out west and it was during that time he developed a love for the mountains and snow skiing. He was also a graduate of the Parsons School of Design in New York and owned and operated an antiques store in Little Rock, AR and later in Telluride, Colorado.
"Uncle Hadley," as he was affectionately known, first arrived in Telluride in 1977 to attend the Telluride Jazz Festival. While at the festival he, along with his niece and several friends, volunteered at the popular "Canal Street Corn Booth." After that visit he decided to make Telluride his permanent home. He became active in community affairs in Telluride having served on the Historic and Architectural Review Commission. He was an avid snow skier, gardener and collector of mineral specimens. Introducing southern hospitality to the mountains of Telluride, he graciously opened his home to family and friends. Throughout the years he became an avid champion of Telluride and all it had to offer, introducing later generations of his family to skiing and mountain life.
Mr. Thompson was pre-deceased by two brothers, Vance Maynard Thompson, Jr., Memphis, TN and H. Ripley Thompson, McCrory, AR; one sister, Elizabeth Thompson Russell, Hillsboro, FL, and niece Caroline Russell Gregory, Memphis, TN. He is survived by one brother John Greer Thompson, Sr., of McCrory, AR and a sister Ruth Thompson Trammell of Nashville TN, 13 nieces and nephews, numerous great nieces and nephews and a host of friends from Colorado, Arkansas, and Tennessee.
Graveside services conducted by Rev. Dixon Platt will be held on Saturday October 22, 2011 with burial in Fakes Cemetery, McCrory, AR. Pallbearers will be his nephews, John Greer Thompson, Jr., Vance M. Thompson, III, E. Jan Thompson, Vance Ripley Trammell, John Hadley Trammell, Marshall Trammell, III, and John P. Russell. Honorary pallbearers will be Randall Marsh, Steve Witowksi, Joshua Thompson, Caleb Thompson, Ripley Trammell, Jr. and Clayton Trammell. A memorial service will be conducted at the Elks Lodge in Telluride, CO at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, family has requested memorials be made to Just For Kids Foundation, justforkidsfoundation.org, Box 308, Telluride, CO 81435 or Telluride Society for Jazz, Box 2132, Telluride, CO 81435, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Enroll Now!
I am an IT manager and have a difficult time speaking to a large group. I get intimidated, more like tongue tied, and nervous in speaking to high management. I am taking this course in hopes of becoming self assured and more confident. I have read lesson 1 thru 4 and already learned tips to assist me. I am glad I am taking this course!
I knew going in, my communication skills needed a lot of work. I have downloaded the lessons and will continue to review them often. I am receiving terrific feedback from associates and customers as was stated in my original goals. This class has been, and will continue to be, a great asset for me. Thank you very much.
This course is amazing. I've learned so much valuable and helpful information. I had so much fun the whole time. My confidence has skyrocketed! I always thought I had to live with the communication problems I have and that was just the way it had to be. Now I have the hope and determination to change with all the tools you've given us and a lot of practice.
Thank you for the course. I've enjoyed reading about and practicing my new skills. I've recommended your course to a number of friends and co-workers. I appreciate your dedication to the course and our class which you've shown through the easy- to- understand reading material, useful tools and assignments, and your responses to all of our questions. As a result of the class I feel empowered.
This course was very informative. I am using the tools in my everyday life. They are helping me to improve my listening skill, which is leading to improve the relationships.
Before joining the course I was wondering how some people get along with almost everyone. Now I have those tools. I need to practice with awareness.....which I will. I will recommend the course to my friends.
Thank you Dawn for a great course.
To be honest I was a bit skeptic at first, especially considering the course being offered on-line, and am very glad that I attended. Very useful and valuable material and very well presented. I wish I had taken this course sooner. I will definitely recommend it to family & friends.
Thank you for a wonderful course. I have found the techniques I learned here to be very effective in my day-to-day life. It was a pleasure to work with you, Dawn, and thank you again for a great course!
I appreciated the content of this course and the approachable, usable manner in the way it was presented. I find myself thinking about what I am learning, and practicing the applications at home and work. Thank you, to everyone who participated in the discussion boards as well.
I've been using the communication techniques from the lessons with my family members. I've gotten positive feedback, especially with my husband when we have issues that come up, during negotiations, or when we are discussing hot topics...The past few weeks have been liberating and have brought us closer together.
Since taking this class I developed a relationship with a sibling that I have never been close to and would talk to only once a year. We are very much alike and I feel like I'm talking to a younger version of myself. I even called her for advice and it made her day to help out her big sister for once.

Albuquerque voters reject late-term abortion ban
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — In a closely watched, first-of-its kind municipal election, voters in New Mexico's largest city have soundly defeated a ban on late-term abortions.
Voters on Tuesday rejected the measure 55 percent to 45 percent following an emotional and graphic campaign that brought in national groups and hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising. The campaign included protests that compared abortion to the Holocaust and displayed pictures of aborted fetuses.
A coalition of groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico and Planned Parenthood, called the results a huge victory for Albuquerque women and families.
"Albuquerque families sent a powerful message today_they do not want the government interfering in their private medical decisions," Micaela Cadena with the Respect ABQ Women campaign said in a statement. "Dangerous, unconstitutional laws like the one we rejected today have no place in Albuquerque, no place in New Mexico, no place anywhere in our nation."
NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue said, "We hope today's resounding defeat of this abortion ban sends a clear message to the extreme forces around the country now trying to impose their agenda on cities around this country. "
Activists on both sides of the issue said it was the first municipal ballot measure on the matter, which usually is debated at the state and federal level. Abortion opponents had hoped that a victory in Albuquerque would create momentum in their long-running fight to ban abortion.
Father Frank Pavone, national director of the New York-based Priests for Life, said Tuesday night that anti-abortion activists should not be discouraged.
"It is a brilliant strategy and we will see to it that this effort is introduced in other cities and states," he said in a statement. "The fact is, of course, that children have in fact been saved through this effort, simply because we have raised the issue of fetal pain, which does not even cross the minds of many abortionists."
Much of the campaign focused on the debate over when and whether fetuses can feel pain.
Albuquerque became the focus of the latest anti-abortion campaign because it is home to Southwestern Women's Options, one of just a handful of clinics in the country that perform late-term abortions. The proposal would have banned abortions after 20 weeks except to save the mother's life.
A leader of the initiative, Tara Shaver, said her group gathered signatures to put the issue to voters after failing to make headway in the Democrat-controlled Legislature.
Asked if other cities with late-term abortion clinics might be targeted in the future, Shaver said, "We are encouraging people to see what can be done at the city level. ... We are starting to get calls from people asking us how to do what we have done."
Police were stationed near polling places Tuesday as protesters from both sides tried to persuade voters who were lining up before the polls closed. One school reported an hour wait.
Michelle Halfacre said she cast her ballot in favor of the proposal, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks except to save the mother's life.
"I had an abortion when I was young, and I regret it," Halfacre said. "I don't believe in it."
But Jonathan Cottrell, a crisis hotline volunteer, said he voted against the proposal because he believes it marks the beginning of a "slippery slope to ban abortion in general."
"I feel that women have the right to choose what to do to their body," Cottrell said.
Lawsuit questions East St. Louis voter rolls
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (AP) - An activist wants a federal judge to order county or state officials to run East St. Louis elections, arguing that more than 5,200 people are illegally registered to vote in the struggling southwestern Illinois city.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports that Matthias Hawkins filed his lawsuit earlier this month against East St. Louis' Board of Election Commissioners.
That panel conducts all elections in the city and is responsible for purging the local voter rolls of residents who have died or moved away.
The commission's executive director, Kandrise Mosby, says the panel follows Illinois law and purges the voter rolls every two years, with that latest effort expected to be completed in a month.
No hearing date on Hawkins' lawsuit has been scheduled as of Tuesday.
President Obama: Assault weapons ban deserves a vote
Senate Democrats dropped the ban from the bill they plan to debate next month out of concern it could sink the whole package. But Obama says he's pushing for it.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says Americans have spoken on gun control. He says they support the ban, plus limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines, school security funding and a crackdown on gun trafficking.
In the Republican address, Sen. Mike Lee of Utah says the Senate Democrats' budget raises taxes by $1.5 trillion without saving entitlements. He says Republicans want a balanced budget.
MO Senate panel votes to end renter tax break
Several disabled renters testified Tuesday that the tax break of up to $750 annually allows them to pay medical bills, utilities and clothing. They pleaded with the Senate Appropriations Committee to keep the tax break.
But the committee voted to advance a bill that would do away with the tax credit and redirect the $57 million of savings to programs that serve seniors and the disabled. The plan is backed by Gov. Jay Nixon.
A commission Nixon appointed recommended ending the tax break for renters while continuing it for homeowners. The credit is intended offset property taxes.
Missouri House Committee wants to change time limits to prosecute sex offenses
Right now, prosecutions must start within 30 years after the victim's 18th birthday. The statute of limitations already does not apply to instances of forcible rape or forcible sodomy, attempted forcible rape or attempted forcible sodomy and kidnapping. The measure would allow prosecutions for child abuse at any time.
The House Crime Prevention and Public Safety Committee approved the legislation Monday.
Earlier this year, a state child sex abuse task force released a report urging lawmakers to eliminate the statute of limitations for first-degree statutory rape and first-degree statutory sodomy.
UPDATE: IL House committee advances gay marriage measure
The State House Executive Committee voted 6-5 late Tuesday to move the measure to the floor, where passage is considered likely.
Advocates say the bill would help eliminate discrimination against children of homosexual couples. But opponents say this measure steps on people's religious freedoms. They argue lawmakers don't have the right to redefine marriage.
The bill was approved by the Senate on Valentine's Day. A House OK would send the matter to Governor Pat Quinn, who says he'll sign it.

best probiotic ever!

I've tried them ALL over the past 6 years, and I never really saw a difference, but with this one I had noticeably smooth sailing within 24 hours and every morning thereafter. Also, it includes a strain that I read elsewhere has been shown to fight plaque, so I've been putting a teaspoon or so in my mouth and working it into the crevices--and my teeth definitely feel cleaner and "crisper" in between, the way they do after a cleaning at the dentist's office. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!
The BEST probiotic. Period.

I suffer from lyme disease and have had to take many courses of antibiotics over the years which has played havoc with my gastrointestinal function. I ended up suffering with IBS, indigestion, heartburn, constipation, and abdominal cramps. I tried all kinds of probiotic products but this is the only one that really works!!! I have put this down to the quality of the probiotic blend and the quantity of the bacteria count. I take it daily and now have no gastrointestinal problems whatsoever. Highly recommended!!!

Great for keeping the digestive tract in good working order. It has multi-strains to filter out the bad flora in the digestive tract. Many others I've tried have only 1-6 strains & don't do the job. I do have stomach & intestinal disorders, & this product assures me of a "clean" system. Also the other products are encapsulated in a gel type capsule, & that inhibits the saturation of the product. The powder absorbs quickly & gets "right to work".
Perfect to make Yogurt

Routes / Re: Southern Tier Questions« on: February 08, 2014, 08:14:34 am »
I realize the map might say 90 miles, but from my notes in my journal, it seems to be 78. We camped just short of the observatory, due to circumstances you can read in the entry. But it worked out perfectly anyway. You really don't want to camp behind the closed store at Kent; it's nasty. We ended up camping at the Lawrence Wood picnic area and it was great; that was 69 miles from Van Horn. But there are many places along the roadside, as Carla said, where you can pitch a tent. You can check my journal for details, and for more Southern Tier info too, at http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/myfinecycle.
Most people we met along the ST actually went on US 90 from Van Horn through Marfa to Alpine. Just another thought. We really wanted to see the observatory.
It's a great ride either way, enjoy!

|Harbhajan Singh congratulates Jacques Kallis at the end of South Africa's 2nd innings at Cape Town, 2011
Greatness. It is the Bharat Ratna, or the Knighthood in Cricket. It is not offered with any ceremony, but fittingly for a sport which celebrates the tension between selfish individuality and selfless teamwork like no other, must be seized by an aspiring candidate from a largely curmudgeonly community. In this community, this politics of greatness is conducted through murmurs - murmurs of envy, of approval, of dissent, of gratitude, of rivalry. You would be hard pressed to find a serious professional cricketer who thinks that Jacques Kallis is anything less than an all-time great.
And yet, there is, apparently, much division as to whether or not Kallis is a great player. I suspect we will hear the same debates about Ricky Ponting when the time comes. But then again, may be not. Because Ponting has already been appointed to greatness. He is regarded as the best Australian bat since Greg Chappell. Besides, the Australians are assertive about things like this. Once, during the rancorous 1980-81 tour to Australia, Sunil Gavaskar, exasperated by his own form and by the murmurs of dissent about his abilities (because of his putative struggles against Dennis Lillee), asked an Australian reporter whether he would say that Lillee was not a great bowler because he had played very little, and with very little success outside Australia and England. Gavaskar tells us that the reporter responded, without batting an eyelid, that those were anomalies. That Lillee was an all-time great fast bowler.
That was that.
The path to greatness is made easier by early endorsements. Shane Warne, Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, all received attention very early in their careers from other greats like Gavaskar, Sobers and Bradman. This placed them firmly in the working-to-be-great category. It became not just a question of if, but of when.
Then there is us. In a compassionate dissent, the wonderfully titled karachikhatmal asks where the tragedy is in Jacques Kallis's career. This could as well be asked in another way - Where are the tragics? Tendulkar, in the words of C P Surendran had a "a whole nation, tatters and all, march[ing] with him to the battle arena. A pauper people pleading for relief, remission from the life-long anxiety of being Indian, by joining in spirit with their visored savior." Brian Lara had the remnants of West Indian ambition and Trinidadian nationalism behind him - a wisened, disappointed people, watching incredulously as the greatest cricketing dynasty of all fell to pieces in a matter of 3 or so years.
Where are Kallis's tragics? A great white champion in Protean South Africa, Kallis seems to have been inadvertently condemned for being on the wrong side of history. It is imperative that he be rescued.
It is time, in this argument, to make a definitive claim about greatness. How should we look for greatness? Firstly, it must be clear that the said player can play. This was absolutely clear in the case of Inzamam Ul Haq. In Kallis's case, he is technically supreme, and his bowling emerges as an afterthought. Imagine almost 300 Test wickets emerging as an afterthought! Secondly, there must be longevity. 145 Tests, ~12000 Test runs, ~300 Test wickets. Longevity is not an issue with Jacques Kallis.
But then there needs to be a memory to go with longevity and ability - a memory of heroism and mastery. A memory which makes a watcher sit up and take notice when the name Jacques Kallis shows up on the score sheet. This is more complicated than you might think, because it depends largely on what the watcher is invested in. In Kallis's case, it is less a case of what he might actually do to shape a contest, and more a question of whether the contest can be considered decided before he has had his say. How many observers are willing to predict the shape of a contest while Jacques Kallis is yet to be dismissed from the fray? Only the foolhardy ones.
This satisfies the mastery, you might say, but what of heroism?
Is South Africa's cricketing story since 1992 not one of heroism? Through trials and errors and triumphs and tragedies, South Africa have tried to make a country since Mr. Mandela was released from prison on February 11, 1990. The details of the story are complicated, at times unsavory, at others uplifting. But it is a heroic story, one in which South Africa's cricket has played it's part.
For 15 years, Jacques Kallis has been South Africa cricketing rock. Through match-fixing, affirmative action and all their dispiriting entrails, from Donald to Steyn, from Ntini to Amla, Kallis has played cricket for South Africa - cricket of the highest quality. His efforts cannot be measured just in runs, though this makes an impressive measure in his case, but by recognizing that he has been the most priceless general in the worthiest battle waged through cricket in the last 20 years.
Where is the heroism you ask? We, who think cricket is important and wonderful, must be his tragics. Let there be no doubt. If we measure greatness the way we should, then Jacques Kallis is an all-time great cricketer. He belongs in the same breath as Bradman and Sobers and Tendulkar and Imran and Lara and Richards and Warne and Marshall and Muralitharan.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - After backlash from customers, the producer of Maker's Mark bourbon is reversing a decision to cut the amount of alcohol in bottles of its famous whiskey.
The company's chief operating officer said Sunday that it is restoring the alcohol volume of its product to its historic level of 45 percent, or 90 proof. Last week, it said it was lowering the amount to 42 percent, or 84 proof, because of a supply shortage.
The brand known for its square bottles sealed in red wax has struggled to keep up with demand. Distribution has been squeezed, and the brand had to curtail shipments to some overseas markets.
In a tweet Sunday, the company said to its followers: "You spoke. We listened."

Custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"). IF WE CUT IT, YOU OWN IT! Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Once we cut a stock size piece, we can't ever sell it as full size piece again. All cuts are nominal. So, PLEASE MEASURE CAREFULLY, and DOUBLE CHECK YOUR MEASUREMENTS BEFORE YOU ORDER. Custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable! The old adage is espcially true here: measure twice, cut once. WE do it before we cut your piece, and YOU should do it before you order.
Here's a little refresher on how to use a measure tape. First, let's talk about the increments. We'll assume that you're using the English or Imperial system of feet and inches. Extend your tape measure several inches and find the large 1 and 2. On most English measuring tape, the smallest increment is 1/16 of an inch. This means that there are 16 equally spaced marks between 1 and 2 inches on the tape. When measuring, count how many of these marks you are beyond the nearest inch. If your piece measures 7 inches and other 8 marks, that is 8/16 (1/2) for a total of 7-1/2". Let's say you were taking your second measurement (see below) and this time you counted 9 marks past the 7 inch mark. That means your piece is actually 7-9/16" long.
No! The sliding clip on the end of the tape is designed for two different types of measurements. When you take an outside measurement (where you hand the clip of the tape over an edge), the clip slides out a little to account for the thickness. When you take an inside measurement (push the clip up against a surface), the clip slides in, again accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts so, either way, you get an accurate measurement.
Nylon is one of the oldest and most widely used engineered mechanical plastics. Its combination of toughness, dimensional stability, wear resistance, availability, and versatility make it a natural choice for informed engineers looking to improve their project. Nylon has served well in replacing many metals and offers a design choice when noise reduction and long life are important.

Ideomotor phenomenon
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2013)
The ideomotor effect is a psychological phenomenon wherein a subject makes motions unconsciously; for example, the body produces tears in response to powerful emotions, without the person consciously deciding to cry.
Ideomotor effect[edit]
As in reflexive responses to pain, the body sometimes reacts reflexively to ideas alone without the person consciously deciding to take action[citation needed]. For instance, tears are produced by the body unconsciously in reaction to powerful emotions[citation needed]. The effects of automatic writing, dowsing, facilitated communication, and Ouija boards have been attributed to the phenomenon. Mystics have often attributed these effects to paranormal or supernatural force. Many subjects are unconvinced that their actions are originating solely from within themselves.
The term was first used in a scientific paper discussing the means through which the Ouija board produced its results, by William Benjamin Carpenter in 1852,[1] hence the alternative term Carpenter effect. (Carpenter derived the word ideomotor from the components ideo, meaning "idea" or "mental representation", and motor, meaning "muscular action"). The terms "ideomotor effect" and "ideomotor response" were both introduced by William Benjamin Carpenter. In the paper, Carpenter explained his theory that muscular movement can be independent of conscious desires or emotions.
Scientific tests by the English scientist Michael Faraday, the French chemist Michel Eugène Chevreul, and the American psychologists William James and Ray Hyman have demonstrated that many phenomena attributed to spiritual or paranormal forces, or to mysterious "energies," are actually due to ideomotor action. Furthermore, these tests demonstrate that "honest, intelligent people can unconsciously engage in muscular activity that is consistent with their expectations".[2] They also show that suggestions that can guide behavior can be given by subtle clues (Hyman 1977).
Some alternative medicine practitioners claim they can use the ideomotor effect to communicate with a patient's unconsciousness using a system of physical signals (such as finger movements) for the unconscious mind to indicate "yes", "no" or "I'm not ready to know that consciously"[citation needed].
A simple experiment to demonstrate the ideomotor effect is to allow a hand-held pendulum to hover over a sheet of paper. The paper has keywords such as YES, NO and MAYBE printed on it. Small movements in the hand, in response to questions, can cause the pendulum to move towards key words on the paper. This technique has been used for experiments in ESP, lie detection and ouija boards. The validity of these experiments has not been proven. This type of experiment was used by Kreskin[3] and has also been used by illusionists such as Derren Brown to test the hypnotic suggestibility of audience volunteers that are called onto the stage[citation needed].
Ideomotor response[edit]
The ideomotor response (or "ideomotor reflex"), often abbreviated to IMR, is a concept in hypnosis and psychological research[citation needed]. It is derived from the terms "ideo" (idea, or mental representation) and "motor" (muscular action). The phrase is most commonly used in reference to the process whereby a thought or mental image brings about a seemingly "reflexive" or automatic muscular reaction, often of minuscule degree, and potentially outside of the awareness of the subject[citation needed]. The cognate term "ideo-dynamic response" (or "reflex") extends to the description of all bodily reactions caused in a similar manner by certain ideas, e.g., the salivation often caused by imagining sucking a lemon, which is a secretory response. Here, "ideo-dynamic" means "the power of an idea (over the body)". In the Victorian psychological terminology from which this concept derives, an "idea" may include any mental representation, e.g., a mental image or memory, etc. The ideo-dynamic response became the original neuro-psychological theory of suggestion in hypnotism.
The term "ideomotor reflex" or "ideomotor response" was introduced in the 1840s by Victorian physiologist and psychologist William Benjamin Carpenter[citation needed]. Carpenter was a friend and collaborator of James Braid, the founder of hypnotism[citation needed].
Braid soon assimilated the ideomotor theory into hypnotism and it became the central theory of hypnotic suggestion. In The Physiology of Fascination (1855), Braid writes,
"In order that I may do full justice to two esteemed friends, I beg to state, in connection with this term monoideo-dynamics, that, several years ago, Dr. W. B. Carpenter introduced the term ideomotor to characterise the reflex or automatic muscular motions which arise merely from ideas associated with motion existing in the mind, without any conscious effort of volition. In 1853, in referring to this term, Dr. Noble said, "Ideo-dynamic would probably constitute a phraseology more appropriate, as applicable to a wider range of phenomena." In this opinion I quite concurred, because I was well aware that an idea could arrest as well as excite motion automatically, not only in the muscles of voluntary motion, but also as regards the condition of every other function of the body. I have, therefore, adopted the term monoideo-dynamics, as still more comprehensive and characteristic as regards the true mental relations which subsist during all dynamic changes which take place, in every other function of the body, as well as in the muscles of voluntary motion."[4]
Braid coined the term "monoideo-dynamic" to express his theory that hypnotism functioned primarily by concentrating attention upon a single (mono) "dominant idea", which he believed amplified the ideo-dynamic or ideomotor response.
It is strongly associated with the practice of hypnosis, whereby 'yes' or 'no' answers may be given by indication of a physical manifestation rather than a verbal one; such results are produced by 'pre-suggesting' the correct response and attaching it to either the left or right hand side of the subject's body[citation needed].
An example[edit]
If you were to be asked to imagine doing up your shoelaces as vividly as possible, your brain would consciously fixate on the task and work through it as vividly and as logically as possible. The theory of IMR would imply that your muscular memory associated with your hands, would then attempt the task physically, but abort the process unless it was truly necessary and curtail the events that would unfold if you were actually willing to send the complete information along your nervous system to your hands[citation needed]. This may therefore involve an involuntary 'twitch' or movement of the associated digits are placed into preparation of function, processed against reality and then given the signal to not actually act[citation needed].
In hypnosis, this may be circumvented by dissociating the particular thought-process-response-abort of a digit or entire limb; and therefore give control to the unconscious mind to enable (by suggestion) the route of conscious thought-unconscious process-conscious process (of the fact)-conscious response (do not act)- unconscious response (dissociate from conscious)- ignore abortive conscious attempt- unconscious unabort... Which would then display a reaction or response in a physical manner or behavioral context[citation needed].
Body language may be considered the most commonly visible aspect of IMR, but may also include such unconscious activities as doodling or art – as the conscious thought is sublimated into a different type of activity in unconscious expression[citation needed].

Great quality!
Bought the Heatable Soft Toy - Bagpuss as a Valentine's present for my wife. It was very well received and has been well-used since! It feels like very good quality, has a good heavy feel to it, and is described as "very cuddly" whether warmed up or not. I do find that it invokes some strangely mixed feelings when watching a cat slowly rotating in the microwave though...
Ugly but cute
Bought as a present for my mum since this was her favourite cartoon when she was little. The toy smells amazing and the material feels great too. Only thing is the face isn't as cute as the picture, it's quite an ugly face actually. But, it's so ugly you just have to love it. I think it's a perfect gift for all ages.
Brilliant, Beautiful, Bombastic Bagpuss
This microwaveable, soft Bagpuss can be heated with little fuss. You put him in the microwave then he's lovely and hot for you. His fur is soft, pink and cream; and he smells like lavender, what a dream! Bagpuss warms you for an hour or so. I love my microwaveable friend. Just buy one now!
Uniquely cuddly
I saw the Heatable Soft Toy - Bagpuss when searching for a gift for my Mother's birthday. She used to watch Bagpuss as a child so it was an instant fit. The beads inside the product give it a cat-like weight, and when paired with short, soft "fur" it makes a lovely feel and texture to snuggle. Brilliant product, in a way I wish I had bought one for myself! Perhaps if they had Yoda...
Warm in style
Bagpuss is an all time classic and this soft toy doesn't let it down, it's great for snuggling into when you're under the weather and for kids too. It's much easier to get them to snuggle up to this Bagpuss rather then use a hot water bottle with the fear water may leak and burn. Thumbs up!

UCCS student athletes graduating at a high rate
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. - There are 315 U.S. and Canadian colleges and universities that participate in NCAA Division II athletics. Including the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
"We knew we were doing great things with academic progress of our student-athletes here," said Vice Chancellor for Administration, Brian Burnett. "We have over 200 student-athletes. But for the NCAA to come out with this award...that you don't apply for, you're just honored with...is just an incredible testament to the student-athletes that come the UCCS, the coaches that bring them here and the seriousness they take, not only competing on the playing field and in the court, but in the classroom."
UCCS is one of twenty-four Division II schools to have received the President's Award for academic excellence. For 4 consecutive years, more than 90% of UCCS student-athletes have earned degrees. UCCS was the only public university in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference to receive the honor.
"This semester, actually every team on campus had over a 3.0 GPA as a team," said Athletic Director, Steve Kirkham. "I've always thought there was a correlation. I think smart kids win more games. We had 4 nationally ranked and 6 regionally ranked teams in the fall. Women's basketball team has the best start to a season ever."
"That's really what we're here about," said Burnett. "It's training them to become part of our community and part of the leaders of Colorado and the country once they graduate."

So, for me, he didn't make it fun. I'm actually disappointed. He should compete more. With seniors, as he reached that level by going over 20m. That's exciting, that's something to look forward to. Dominating juniors for two more years is like letting Usain Bolt compete with high school kids. Break the JR world record, get done with it. Move on to what matters.
I disagree. Jack in London would be kinda boring. There are a lot of good throwers out there and he might not make it through the prelims. 20m is exceptional for his age, but not that good in London. He's young, and hopefully has a long career ahead. If he's truly ready to throw with the big boys, he can do that at next year's world champs. Don't discount the value of winning a world junior title just because of his amazing potential.

Calgary has acquired Jordan Leopold from Colorado for Lawrence Nycholat, a second round pick and Ryan Wilson.
The Flames get: an offensive rearguard whose growth has been stunted by his many injuries. He seems to finally be healthy, but don't count on that in your fantasy league.
The Avs get: a draft pick for their potential UFA. Nycholat is an offensive defenseman, but a fringe NHLer. Wilson is a big, strong defenseman whose upside is probably no more a No. 5 guy.
Fantasy Players impacted: Leopold will produce more if he stays healthy. His presense will help Dion Phaneuf offensively and will hinder Mark Giordano.

For Immediate Release:
SAINT PAUL, MN – It's important to protect the things you value. Life insurance protects your loved ones, auto insurance protects your car, health insurance protects your good health and homeowners insurance protects your possessions. As with any insurance purchase, it's important to evaluate coverage and research your options to find the best coverage for your dollar.
"Consumer information and protection is critical to help Minnesotans make informed choices about their insurance coverage," said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. "In a recovering economy, homeowners carefully watch their family budgets and the Commerce Department can provide the tips for consumers to save money on their homeowners insurance while maintaining the right coverage."
Here are some tips to help save money on your homeowners insurance:
Homeowners insurance can be costly, but it is necessary. The premiums charged for homeowners insurance can vary widely from company to company, so it pays to take the time and effort to shop around to get the best value for your insurance dollar. There are 139 companies offering homeowners insurance competing for your business in Minnesota. Annually, consumers should inventory their assets to ensure the coverage level is still adequate.
The cost of homeowners insurance depends on a number of factors including: location; age and type of building; the use of the building, i.e., residence and/or commercial enterprise; local fire protection; choice of deductibles; application of discounts; and the scope and amount of insurance coverage you purchase.
If your policy contains a standard "all peril" deductible, of $250 for example, you would collect the amount of any covered property loss, less $250. By having a deductible, the premium cost of your policy is lower than if you did not have a deductible. When choosing the deductible amount, you bear the burden of loss up to the amount you feel you can afford.
Deductibles save money because the first dollars of the insurance are the most expensive to buy. Contact your insurance company to discuss whether your deductible makes sense for your circumstances.
As you shop around for homeowners insurance, one important factor to consider when shopping is whether your policy covers "actual cash value" vs. "replacement cost" coverage. While it may not affect your short-term premiums, it may make a large difference if you submit a claim.
Actual cash-value coverage will reimburse you for the cost of the property at the time of the claim, minus your deductible. It is important to account for depreciation when considering this coverage option. For example, if you lose an audio system that was purchased five years before the claim, you will be reimbursed for the current value of the system. This may result in a lower claim payment than you expect.
Replacement cost coverage will reimburse the full value of the new audio system — after you purchase the new system and submit your receipts. While the up-front cost is greater, you are more likely to receive accurate compensation for your possessions.
The five homeowners "package forms" offered to owners of single family, owner-occupied homes are referred to as: HO-1, HO-2, HO- 3, HO-3 with HO-15 and HO-8. These have different coverage and policy language, which is important to discuss with your insurance agent.
Don't forget to check whether renter's insurance, mobile home policies, and condo owner's policies fit your specific needs.
These policy forms insure your home and belongings against at least 11 named perils. The more perils your policy covers, the more you will pay for the policy.
You should also check with your insurance company to see if it offers premium discounts for the use of dead-bolt locks, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and security systems.
Some companies offer discounts and group rates for seniors or members of professional or business organizations.
Non-smokers may receive reduced rates from some companies, since smoking accounts for a large number of residential fires each year.
Once you've considered the alternatives and chosen the company that fits your needs, consider multiple policies with that company. Some companies offer what is called a multi-policy discount. If you purchase your homeowners and automobile policies from the same insurer, you may receive a small discount.
Creating a home inventory can help determine coverage needs, and can be as simple as downloading the myHOME Scr.APP.book on your smart phone. One of the best ways to make sure your possessions are fully protected is to document them with a home inventory.
Visit the Minnesota Department of Commerce Home & Property Insurance website for more information regarding homeowners insurance policies, claims, flood insurance, and title insurance.
Contact the Minnesota Department of Commerce Consumer Response Team if you have questions about the law concerning homeowners insurance, your policy, how to file a claim, or if you have a complaint:

Township Police are investigating and also comparing notes with other law enforcement agencies regarding two reported burglaries of homes within the same time frame in a northern Basking Ridge neighborhood bounded by West Oak Street and North Finley Avenue, said Sgt. Mike Voorhees.
According to Bernards police records, someone forced into a home on Lee Place near the railroad tracks at some time between 1:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 6.
The homeowner discovered the break-in upon returning home, and notified police. An undetermined amount of cash and jewelry appears to have been taken from a bedroom, Voorhees.
Meanwhile, it appears that a potential thief or thieves may have left empty-handed after breaking into an unoccupied home on nearby Allen Street some time between Jan. 31 to Feb. 7, Voorhees said.
Again, the house was forcibly entered, the police report. However, Voorhees said it appears that nothing may have been taken, and the burglar may have just left for some reason.
December burglaries in The Hills still being investigated
Voorhees said the two reported burglaries were the first in the township in this year.
However, in The Hills section of the township, with jewelry taken in most of the incidents. Those break-ins were being investigated in cooperation with the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office, police said then.
Voorhees said on Thursday that those burglaries still are being investigated. A similar break-in took place in Bedminster around the same time, he added.
Voorhees said at that time the forced-entry break-ins shared a similar pattern within the town, but he could not say if they are possibly linked to other incidents in surrounding communities, or other counties.
On Wednesday, he said township police are in communications with a variety of other law enforcement agencies, including those in Hunterdon County, where he said there have been a number of recent burglaries.
He said the township police also hand out fliers at nearby homes seeking information for unusual cars or other possible leads in the investigation.
The range of burglars includes drug users seeking cash and professional burglary rings, all of whom may be operating at the same time, he noted.
Often, "It's a long process" in tracking burglars, he said.
