By Grocery Headquarters Staff
Barbara's, known for making cereals and snacks from simple, wholesome ingredients, has expanded its portfolio of Non-GMO Project Verified breakfast options with the addition of Multigrain Squarefuls and Organic Snackimals Chocolate Crisp Cereal. This new Snackimals Cereal flavor is an extension of Barbara's Snackimals line of animal-shaped cereals and cookies. "Our organic and natural fans deserve a variety of delicious, wholesome food options, and we're always on the lookout for innovative ways to provide them with great-tasting products," says Katrina Yolen, U.S. director of marketing. "Following the success of our original Snackimals Cereals we were eager to create a more decadent offering for chocolate lovers, and our new Squarefuls are a deliciously crunchy counterpart to our popular Spoonfuls cereal. We're thrilled to introduce these delicious Non- GMO cereals, with the perfect balance of whole grains and less sugar than traditional options." New to the Barbara's portfolio, Multigrain Squarefuls are non-GMO, high in fiber, and certified by the American Heart Association. A crunchy, sweet way to start the day, this heart healthy cereal is available in Maple Brown Sugar, made with real maple syrup, a touch of brown sugar, and 26 grams of whole grains per serving. Like all Barbara's products, Multigrain Squarefuls are made without hydrogenated oil, high fructose corn syrup or refined white sugar. Like the other two Organic Snackimals Cereals, Barbara's new Chocolate Crisp flavor contains 8 grams of whole grains per serving, only 7 grams of sugar per serving, and features three fun animal shapes, including the endangered animals: lions, elephants, and panda bears. Made with simple, good-for-you ingredients, such as organic corn and oat flours, and prebiotics for digestive health, this healthy and highly snackable breakfast cereal is Non-GMO Project Verified, fat free, and a good source of fiber and calcium. Organic Snackimals Cereals are also available in two other kid-friendly flavors: Cinnamon Crunch and Vanilla Blast. Organic Snackimals Cereals join Barbara's product line of Snackimals Cookies, available in five flavors: Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, Vanilla, Peanut Butter, and Double Chocolate. Barbara's game app "Snackimals Dash" is available for free download in the Google Play and Apple stores, and teaches kids about nutrition in a fun way.

Hard-pressed to meet the fiscal deficit target of 4.8% of the gross domestic product (GDP) the deficit in the first four months had touched a disconcerting 63% of the full-year target North Block also gave explicit instructions to all central ministries to strictly abide by the rule that not more than 33% of the Budget Estimate (BE) be spent in the last quarter of the fiscal, while the expenditure in March, the last month of the fiscal, would not under any circumstances, be more than 15% of the BE.
Analysts welcomed the the expenditure compression envisaged by the ministry, as these would help avoid a sovereign rating downgrade but conceded that these spending curbs could have a negative effect on growth, given that private consumption has hit a nadir and corporate investments have hardly improved.
In FY 13, a deep Rs 1-lakh-crore cut in Plan expenditure which mostly includes capital spend, had allowed the Centre to reduce the fiscal deficit to 4.9% of GDP but that indeed had a stultifying effect on growth in the year, which slipped to 5%. The government has admitted that the spillover effect of that expenditure compression was evident in Q1FY14 with the growth slipping to a four-year-low of 4.4%. The governments final consumption expenditure dropped 6% in the first quarter of this fiscal from the previous quarter.
According to a finance ministry release, every ministry will effect a mandatory 10% cut in non-Plan expenditure excluding interest payments, repayment of debt, defence capital, salaries, pension and Finance Commission transfers to states. This means that close to a half of the budgeted non-Plan expenditure of Rs 11.09 lakh crore for FY14 would be subject to the cut, translating into some Rs 50,000 crore. Sources said that subsidies, budgeted at Rs 2.3 lakh crore, are likely to be kept within budgeted limits thanks to the progressive deregulation of fuel prices and the fact that no significant additional burden on food subsidy is seen this fiscal on account of the Food Security Law.
The ministry said: no re-appropriation of funds to augment the non-Plan heads of expenditure on which cuts have been imposed, shall be allowed during the current fiscal year. The restriction of 33% and 15% expenditure ceiling is to be enforced both scheme-wise as well as demands for grant as a whole subject to RE (revised estimate ) ceilings.
Calling for strict observance of discipline in fiscal transfers to states, PSEs and autonomous bodies, the finance ministry said: The rush of expenditure on procurements should be avoided during the last quarter of the fiscal year and in particular, during the last month of the fiscal year so as to ensure that there was no infructuous or wasteful expenditure.
Further, departments have been banned from holding meetings in five-star hotels and officials barred from executive class air travel.

Second suspect pleads guilty to killing Wilmington college student
Posted April 7, 2014
Wilmington, N.C. — One of four people charged with killing a Johnston County man in Wilmington in late 2012 was sentenced Monday to at least 35 years in prison after pleading guilty in the case.
Cape Fear Community College student Joshua Proutey was robbed on a downtown Wilmington street on Dec. 13, 2012, and was shot in the head as he got into his car to leave, police said.
The 19-year-old was a West Johnston High School graduate who planned to enlist in the Marines.
Christopher Daniel Cromartie Jr., 24, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon.
Quintell Raheem Grady, 23, the man authorities say pulled the trigger, pleaded guilty in December to first-degree murder and several other charges and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The cases against two other defendants, Jasmine Nikole Dottin and Daniel Edward Henry, are pending.

Appeal Filed After Judge Overturned Calif. Same-Sex Marriage Ban
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
RAY SUAREZ: And to the fallout from the ruling in California on same-sex marriage.
CROWD (singing): Going to the chapel, and we're going to get married.
RAY SUAREZ: Amid that triumphant group's song and celebrations in the streets of San Francisco, one sound was notably absent after yesterday's ruling on Proposition 8, actual wedding bells, because even though federal District Judge Vaughn Walker nullified California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, he didn't immediately vacate the law, pending appeal.
But the judge firmly declared the ban unconstitutional, because it violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution.
He wrote: "Excluding same-sex couples from marriage is simply not rationally related to a legitimate state interest. Rather than being different, same-sex and opposite-sex unions are, for all purposes relevant to California law, exactly the same."
Opponents of gay marriage charge that Walker was swayed more by personal interests than the law.
Robert (sic) Thomasson leads SaveCalifornia.com.
RANDY THOMASSON, president, SaveCalifornia.com: The judge has imposed his own agenda upon the voters and the children and the parents of California.
RAY SUAREZ: An appeal of the decision was filed today with the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is covers nine Western states. From there, the issue is almost certainly bound for the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has handed down several decisions in recent years regarding gay rights, but none on the question of marriage.
DAVID BOIES, attorney for the American Federation for Equal Rights: Ted and I have a deal. He's going to get the five justices that voted for him in Bush v. Gore.
DAVID BOIES: And I'm going to get the four justices that voted for me in Bush v. Gore.
ROBERT MOORE: The two lead plaintiff's attorneys in the case, David Boies and Ted Olson, were on opposite sides when they battled over the 2000 presidential race.
On Wednesday, after the gay marriage ruling, they were asked what might happen on appeal.
DAVID BOIES: The fundamental right to marry is already established by ample Supreme Court precedent. In light of that, we believe the constitutional violation of depriving gay and lesbian citizens of this fundamental right is very clear. And we believe that that will be held by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and by the United States Supreme Court.
RAY SUAREZ: By contrast, during the trial, defense lawyers argued the Supreme Court has never recognized any such right. As a result, they called just two witnesses.
Five states now permit gay marriage: Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Iowa, and Connecticut. It's also allowed in the District of Columbia. Maryland and New York recognize same-sex unions from other jurisdictions, but do not permit the practice. The California case could become the vehicle that leads to legalization nationwide .
For now, there's no date set for hearing the appeal, much less any forecast of when the case will go before the nine justices of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Attacks against Iraqi security forces, Shias and a small minority killed at least 20 people and wounded 37 on Monday, police and medics said, ahead of the first anniversary of the departure of US forces.
Three gunmen attacked a police checkpoint on the highway west of Tikrit, killing one policeman and wounding three.
A police patrol chased the gunmen, who abandoned their car and then detonated explosives in it, killing four more police and wounding two, a police lieutenant colonel said.
A doctor confirmed the toll.
In the village of Al-Buslaibi, north of Baghdad, a roadside bomb targeting an army patrol killed three soldiers, an army captain and a police lieutenant colonel.
A car bomb in Khaznah, a village near Mosul in north Iraq populated by the small Shabak minority, killed seven people and wounded 12, while two car bombs near a Shia place of worship, or husseiniyah, killed five and wounded 20 in the northern flashpoint town of Tuz Khurmatu, police officers and doctors said.
Monday's violence comes a day after a string of bombings and a shooting killed 19 people.
US military forces completed their withdrawal from Iraq on 18 December last year, ending a nearly nine-year war that cost the lives of tens of thousands of Iraqis, thousands of Americans, and hundreds of billions of dollars.
While violence in Iraq has decreased significantly from its peak in 2006 and 2007, attacks still occur almost every day.

Love the mauve but the crease brown was a little too dark for in my crease, I use it in my outer v instead. The pink browbone is a great all over the lid color - but not white enough for a highlight, so I use one of the other browbone colors from the sister trios to highlight. I find that these browns and pinks are very similar to Sweet as Candy and Walking on eggshells - being a pink and brown with a cream, but I still love them.

Believe it or not, my first Wet n Wild palette. The taupe/violet color is really beautiful. Am quite pale with gray eyes, and this color really offers a very flattering and natural enhancement to your lids. Have deep set and "kind of heavy lids" like me? Then this shadow puts you ahead of the game.
The sparkly crease color? It looks brown in the pan, but almost a deep indigo on my skin. Nice suprise! This shade, however, does not blend easily. Guess for the price I can't complain. For me though, this is a one color palette. That peachy frost shade is not something I would ever wear. Don't brow bone it!

Now I understand these reviews that start off saying "If I were on a desert island, (and needed to look fabulous... because why not)... "
If I were on a desert island, and I could only bring 3 eyeshadow palettes with me from my collection, they would be:
1. Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette
2. Colourpop Kathleen Lights "Where the Light is" Collection
Is the packaging adorable? Certainly not, but its lack of frills does make this slim & travel friendly. I would much prefer excellent performance and versatility to adorable packaging. I'll be honest though-- at first I wasn't won over. I loved the intense pigmentation and blendability of these shadows right away. However I won't pretend like I can get an everyday look out of this, unless I plan to stroll out to the grocery store NBD with a serious smokey eye. (Though I suppose if I am going to glam it up on my desert island, then I could be a grocery store diva too?)
That last point may seem like a huge shortcoming, and truth be told, that is my biggest con with this palette. But I'll explain my desert island list, and why those 3 products sing wonderfully together. I'll try to describe this a bit generally, to make sure my (rather long) review still serves a purpose for those without those other two products.
*Blendability, Lasting power, and pigmentation: Even though this little trio is the cheapest item on my list, it holds up to the other two products. The formulas of the three play well together in all senses--they blend with each other, they are all pigmented, and no one item/shade/formula will awkwardly outlast another. Being honest, I have oily eyelids so I always wear a primer, and never wear any powder shadow without it. Thus I have never tried this trio without it. But even with cheapo ELF primer, it doesn't seem to have a problem.
*Color selection: I love all the colors in here, and have found uses for each one. I don't ever use a shimmery highlight because I have hooded lids, and certainly not a frosty pink with my very yellow undertone, so I use the browbone highlight as a face highlighter. (I do wish it was the smallest pan of this trio.) I find that the dark brown is close enough to matte so I use it either as a crease shade and/or a powder to set creme eyeliner. Is it super unique? probably not, but that's my everyday workhorse shade. The cool toned purple-silver-taupe shade is my favorite of the three. I like having it just in the center of my eyelid.
*Balance: Especially in my collection of mostly warm eyeshadows, this trio's color selection bring in a nice balance. The dark brown in here is the darkest color offered across all 3 of my palette list, so I use it to set eyeliner or deepen up a look regardless of what colors I choose from these 3. The cool taupe pairs nicely with the cooler shades of the Chocolate Bar palette. (To help compare, the purple tone of this will probably play nicely with Candied Violet, and the silver-taupe tones with Haute Chocolate.) I am pretty convinced that the browbone color dupes Marzipan from Chocolate Bar palette.
(omg longest review ever for such a slim little trio, but I hope this helped! thanks for reading!)

I was looking through my makeup on my vanity and I found this treasure. I think we may all be guilty of purchasing makeup and leaving it in the package until we use it which may be months or purchasing makeup and forgetting that we have it somewhere. I completely forgot I had a few more eye shadow palettes from wet n wild. I found the spoiled brat palette and the silent treatment palette . I would like to purchase the sunburned palette as well. OK back to the review. Another great eye shadow palette from Wet n wild . The colors work well together also you don't have to stick to the color placement of the colors . I would play around with how you and where you apply the colors to you eyelid. For example the brow bone color is a nice shimmery pink and can be used on the lid with the other two colors to add that smokey look. In essence I believe the eye shadow trios from wet and wild are meant to take the guess work out of the smokey eye and give you colorsin each trio that complement one another. The instructions on the eye shadow is good for beginners but I think it is always think you should make a makeup look your own. With help on how to apply a smokey I watched quite a lot of smokey eye makeup tutorials and it is quite easy to do now I just like playing with different colors to see what color I like best. All in all a great palette and inexpensive . I want to get a few more Wet n wild eye shadow palettes to add to my makeup collection.

I really love this little palette but only for one shade. The bottom taupe shade is absolutely gorgeous. Depending on what other shadows I combine it with, it seems to pull in whatever shade it's been paired with so it can look warmer or cooler depending on how I use it. The other two shades in the palette are just ok in terms of shades. The top shade doesn't do much for me either way and the middle shade looks muddy. For reference, I'm very fair with neutral tones. The quality of all the shadows is excellent. They blend effortlessly and last well over a primer. At this price, I would highly recommend purchasing, if only for that gorgeous taupe shade.

The only reason I haven't decluttered this is for the grey/purple shade in this trio. It's good enough that I keep this.
I'm not a big fan of the light pink/dark brown shades in here. I don't think they're Wet n' Wild's greatest eyeshadows at all. HOWEVER, the bottom shade is amazing. I have never seen a color like it before.
It's purple... but it's grey. It's a nice change of neutral brown but it doesn't look crazy. In fact, it still looks neutral. It's super versatile - you can wear it for a night out or for a simple look at work.

This is an awesome product for the quality and the price. This was my first Wet n Wild eye shadow palette, and I'm impressed. I would like to try more of the trios because of the quality of this one. The colors go great together and you can do different looks with it from deep and smoky to natural. I use the browbone shade as a cheekbone highlight sometimes and it works. You can go really dramatic and dark with the crease shade. I use that as an eyeliner sometimes. My favorite is the eyelid shade and it's beautiful. That's what drew me in to buy this palette. These are long lasting and pigmented. I would repurchase and recommend this palette.

This is probably my favorite, or in the top three at least, of any eyeshadow set I've ever bought. (And I've bought a lot over the years.) I was actually surprised to find that because normally I lean more toward plums and greens, but this trio -- with a pale warm pink, a taupe that's sort of a perfect hybrid of lavender/gray/taupe, and the almost-black hue that has a smidge of shimmer bordering on glitter -- has really impressed me. All the shadows apply nicely and smoothly with that soft, buttery texture. I never bother to use a primer with this, it performs so well for me. I tend to put the pale shade toward the inner corner of my eye, the taupe on the outer half and then line and define with the darkest shade. I like the result, and I've gotten the most compliments on the colors from this palette than from anything else I've ever worn.

There mustbe something wrong with my eyelids. With a primer and theey did not last 3 hours. I am highly disappointed because even 3 euros is too much when you spend it on ineffective products. That is not a MAC dupe by no means. They look so good but do not last long. Sorry guys!

I wrote about Jim Naughten and his ongoing series, titled Re-Enactors, three years ago. In an almost painterly fashion, he photographs people who "step out of their routine daily lives and transform into historical characters from the First and Second World Wars, often with such vigor and obsessive attention to detail that it's hard to imagine them in contemporary settings." I thought this work was very appropriate for today… lest we forget.

Curious Kanna
I am Kanna Ingleson, enthusiastic collector of top-end, unusual taxidermy in West London, UK. I believe that curiosity and collaboration are cool.
It started with an ordinary, one-eyed cased fish 6 years ago. Today my home resembles a natural history warehouse, and that's exactly how I like it.
I am the proud custodian of numerous pieces from the golden era of Victorian taxidermy. And that's why I can never claim that my collection has been ethically sourced. I can however state with certainty that I am not a fan of hunting and don't believe in killing for the sole purpose of taxidermy.
To see my collection of taxidermy and natural history curiousities, follow me on www.instagram.com/curiouskanna
I am the founder of #taximag, a quarterly magazine featuring the people who make up the vibrant taxidermy scene in the UK and Europe.

Taxidermy Revival
I blame Damien Hirst. No, not his foray into formaldehyde, but his bold £1-million offer to save the entire Walter Potter collection shortly before bits of it ended up in a living room near you.
Love it or loathe it, that's probably when taxidermy was firmly planted in the public domain after which it quickly entered the UK mainstream. You can tell that for certain by the stuffed creatures that routinely make up the window dressing of city shops (like the fine example on the left) and that adorn suburban lives.
As with all things, timing has been critical. A renewed interest in all things analogue, an appreciation for real, practiced skill, our ever present need to be different, and the rise of crap telly have all helped turn the recent resurgence into a full-on revival.
Long may it continue.

Country Throwdown Tour Is 'Crazy' Dream Come True for Florida Georgia Line
A year ago, had you asked the gentlemen of Florida Georgia Line how'd they be spending their summer 2012, playing the Country Throwdown Tour probably wouldn't have been their answer. The country duo, currently making an impression with their summer single, "Cruise," certainly had aspirations to share the stage with some of their musical heroes, but they didn't definitely didn't expect it.
"Right before last year's (Throwdown tour) kicked off, I was like, 'Man, that would be awesome to be on that tour,'" Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley tells The Boot. "It's crazy that, literally, a year later we were invited on it. We've learned so much. It's been a crazy, crazy summer. No day is the same. Each day you have the same set up, but the fans are different. We're living the dream."
That dream includes graduating from Brian's Chevy Tahoe, which housed the pair for the first few years of their career. "We now have a van, whose name is Jarvis," he says with a smile. "I don't know where that came from. Our guitar player dubbed it Jarvis. There's a lot of time to kill on the road, so you have to find ways to laugh and have a good time."
Once they reach the venue, though, the boys are all work … at first. "It's pretty non-stop for me, BK and the band when we pull up," Brian's cohort Tyler Hubbard explains. "From unloading the semi, getting our gear up, to setting up the merch tent, loading the stage, soundchecking, playing the show, signing (autographs) for an hour or two, then going to the grocery store to get the food to grill out that night."
And by 'grill out,' the Georgia native means that after their set, they go backstage and feed everyone else on the tour. "We're the barbecue band, so we grill out just about every night," he says.
"We play, then we fire up the grill at usually 9:00 PM. We feed the crew and all the other artists and it's a private, little party. There's beer and music," Brian adds.
Their tourmates, who include Gary Allan, Rodney Atkins, Justin Moore, Josh Thompson, Sunny Sweeney and Eric Paslay, try to make it out to the feast as much as possible. "At least they'll stop by and have a drink or something," Tyler reveals. "Some of the guys hang out a lot more than the others, but it's definitely a good time. We've talked to Gary Allan a little bit. We're not best friends yet, but we chat a little. He shows up right before he plays and he might hang out a little afterwards. He's showed up early a few times and hung out. He's cool."
One thing the Florida Georgia Line guys do miss about their pre-tour schedule is songwriting. "There's really not too much time to write," Tyler admits. "We've been out on the road all summer and we've only gotten to write a verse of a song. We've been itching to write really bad, it's just the time hasn't been there."
While the tour hasn't left them with much time for sleep or days at home, Brian assures that it has given them something even better. "It's been busy, with radio stops in the middle, but we've made a lot of really good friends: Maggie Rose's band — that whole crew — and been hanging with Josh Thompson some," says the Florida native. "We've made a lot of life-long friends, which is really important."
The Country Throwdown tour comes to a close July 8 in Nashville. However, Florida Georgia Line will not slow down their tour schedule. The duo's next stop is July 19 in Memphis, Tenn. Get a full list of their concert dates here.

Need another reason to buy Wisconsin cheese? Look no further than Naples, where the mozzarella has turned toxic, thanks to locals burning garbage in the streets.
In a truly bizarre turn of events, Naples is literally throwing away its cheese. According to Marketplace on American Public Media, garbage dumping has become so out of control that the public has resorted to starting it on fire just to get rid of it. The garbage is on the streets, in ditches, caves, abandoned fields, you name it.
All of the burning plastic is releasing toxic waste in the air, which is finding its way into the water system and into local forage. Since one of the largest industries around Naples is dairy production -- the reporter even says that "all of the world's mozzarella cheese come from around Naples" -- insert rolling of the eyes here -- there is huge concern the mozzarella cheese is toxic. Sales have dropped drastically.
The article goes on to say that the European Union, as one of the largest mozzarella importers, is now suing Italy to try and get the problem under control.
I have a much better suggestion -- just buy mozzarella from Wisconsin. We've got dozens of plants making it, including Alto, Arla, BelGioioso, Burnett Dairy, Edelweiss, Grande, Land O Lakes, Foremost, Saputo ... the list goes on.
In fact, one of my favorite snacks is Farmer's Rope mozzarella from Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese. Shaped like a coiled rope, it strings as you eat it and is the best string cheese I've found since Arpin Dairy stopped making it several years ago.
Ahh .. toxic cheese in Italy ... yet one more reason to buy local.

Stadium Construction and Minor League Baseball Attendance
The established literature shows that new stadium construction for major league baseball (MLB) teams can increase attendance, but there are limited studies at the minor league level. We use a data set encompassing all A, AA, and AAA minor league baseball teams from 1992 to 2006 to estimate the impact of stadium construction on minor league attendance. This data set includes almost 200 teams, over half of which constructed a new stadium during the 15-year observation period. Over a ten year period our results show that new stadiums increase attendance by 1.2 million fans at the AAA level, 0.4 million at the AA and high A level, and 0.2 million at short season low A. Additionally, we find evidence that minor and major league baseball are potentially substitutes as increased ticket prices for the nearest MLB team lead to higher minor league attendance. However, a new stadium for local MLB teams does not seem to negatively impact minor league attendance.

Apartment building almost blown up by 53-year-old Traverse City man
Mon, 18 Nov 2013 15:06:28 GMT —
An apartment building in the Bayhill Apartments of Traverse City was jeopardized when a resident attempted to cause an explosion in his own apartment. Traverse City Police officers were dispatched to the apartment at 12:30 AM after a 53-year-old man told apartment staff that he had intentionally opened all of the burners on his stove in order to cause an explosion.
The man was hoping that his apartment would fill with gas and the pilot light would cause the apartment complex to explode. The Traverse City Fire Department was able to turn off the gas and disperse the natural gas that had filled the apartment.
The man also told officers that he heard voices in his head that told him to blow up the apartment and that he didn't want to live anymore. He is currently in the Grand Traverse County jail awaiting his arraignment and a mental evaluation.

Kidney Diseases
Abnormal urinalysis result
Hi, I`m 40 years old and weighted 114 pound. My Doctor ordered an urinalysis (microscopic) for me since I have a occasional high blood pressure and all day fatigue for some a period of time. In the result, it shows 2+ of urine blood HGB, and >30 Epithelial cells (normal reference is 0~5 /lpf.) and present of mucus (normal should be none present). Please tell me if the test means serious disease or what other test I should do to find out the reason. Thanks!
Are you a woman, and if so, do you have periods? The urinalysis that you describe could be seen in someone who has (or has just finished) a menstrual period. If that was the case, the urinalysis should be repeated at a time when you are not on your period. What your doctor was looking for was protein in the urine, which would be a sign of kidney damage. If protein was present, it would be important to determine the exact amount by doing another urine test. Also, blood tests (specifically for BUN and creatinine) and kidney imaging such as an ultrasound can help determine whether or not you have kidney disease as either a result or a cause of your hypertension.
If the blood in your urine was not associated with a menstrual period, or if you are a man, then there is a possibility that the blood is coming from the bladder, the prostate, or from the kidney itself (such as from a tumor or as a result of a kidney stone). If an imaging study reveals nothing, a cystoscopy (direct exam of the bladder with a lighted flexible tube) may be needed. There are also some diseases causing blood in the urine that can be diagnosed only by a kidney biopsy, such as IgA nephropathy. This is a disease that is more often seen in people of southeast Asian or western European (especially France, Belgium, Netherlands), or Navajo Indian descent.

LogOX pairs up with Burr & Burton students to film promo
ARLINGTON — Instead of squatting down to pick up a log that was just cut, Jon Roberts invented a tool to save loggers time and back pain in the woods.
With the help of three seniors at Burr & Burton Academy, Roberts is amping up promotion for the second generation of the LogOX tool. He first released the product last October, but made upgrades to it this year.
The information and video on the product website doesn't match the new product, so Jon Roberts decided to reach out to BBA when he realized how advanced its video lab is.
Roberts wife Lynne reached out to Bill Muench, BBA English teacher who teaches in the lab. He selected Jaidon Lalor, John Hubert and Maxx Ingison to work on the project. They filmed on Monday and will take about a week to edit the clips.
"We sat down and talked to [The Roberts] and heard about what they wanted with it and we talked about what we think we could give them and what kind of style would be best for the film," Ingison said. "Jon kind of went about explaining what the LogOX was to us and we decided that the way he explained it was the best way to go about filming it."
Lalor worked on the sound, Hubert filmed a straight shot while Jon Roberts demonstrated and Ingison worked as the secondary photographer.
Ingison and Hubert have worked together on projects before, but this is the first time all three have done something together and out of the classroom.
The LogOX is a two to three foot orange L-shaped cold-rolled steel tool with three functions – a hand tool to pick up logs by hooking the canthook over the log; a timberjack attachment to prop up smaller logs to cut through with a chainsaw; and an attachment to increase the length of the tool to handle and turn logs with the canthook.
"With this tool you have a short canthook and a hauler," Jon Roberts said. "With the longer attachment and a larger log, you have more leverage.
The idea is to make logging easier and more efficient. Lynne Roberts said her husband used to take four hours to cut wood for their wood stove, but now the process is scaled down to about an hour.
Growth for the use of LogOX since the business' inception includes firefighters. For those out west gathering dead wood so that it doesn't cause fires, firefighters can use the LogOX to drag the tops of trees.
In two days, the Roberts raised $1,375 through a LogOX raffle for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation at the Bondville Fair.
"One of the things that we're going to do in the future is any time we do a trade show or fairs, we're going to have a raffle for [the Wildland Firefighter Foundation] because it's such a great cause," Lynne Roberts said.
She mentioned branching out their target audience due to the versatility of the tool's functions.
Jon Roberts has a background in chemical engineering and is a longtime southern Vermont resident. His wife manages the sales and marketing of the company.
She said that at the last two fairs they attended, six tools were sold at each. A complete LogOX set is priced at $175 online and in stores.
The steel is manufactured by Swisher Acquisition of Warrensburg, Mo., and the handle is crafted in Maine, Jon Roberts said.
LogOX is sold at about 10 locations across Vermont, Massachusetts and New York. Jon Roberts said the patent for the product only took about four months to acquire, noting that no product like it existed yet.

I always felt my nose was too big for my face and I hated my profile. I used to cover my face when I laughed and never smile with teeth in pictures because I thought my nose looked too big when I was that expressive.
Highly Recommended For Facial Plastic Surgery! - Houston, TX
I always felt my nose was too big for my face and...
I had my rhinoplasty by Dr. Siegel two years ago and a follow up with him recently. He is really a talented and skilled facial plastic surgeon!!! I think its very very important for patients to find a plastic surgeon that is an expert in their area of interest. A doctor that performs tummy tucks and boob jobs most of the time will not be as knowledgeable of the anatomical soft and hard tissues of the face. Dr. Siegal is an expert and he is very skilled! I am so happy with my nose job!! I asked him to get rid of the small bump on my bridge and make my nose narrower, and that is exactly what he did! There were a few things I was nervous about before surgery, like would it be so dramatic that I wouldn't recognize my own reflection, or would everyone notice & I'd be some topic of gossip. Neither happened. I felt totally comfortable when we removed the bandages and no one besides the people I told ever asked me about it. Only now after I completely healed do I jump when I see old pictures of myself because I realize what an improvement this nose is! I couldn't believe that was my old nose! To me, my nose now was the nose I was always supposed to have. Thank you Dr. Siegel!


text: Some of you read of my previous adventure here: https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/any-input-re-a-camry-v6-whatd-i-break.103356/ So, this weekend I dived back under the hood to remove the broken sensor, and on replacing everything I have ONE hose that's supposed to connect to something but doesn't! The offending hose end is the one in the photo, just under the right-side wiper shaft. Car will run about 1 mile then stall out. The other end, out of sight in this photo, comes off the rear valve cover on the passenger side, and SEEMS to want to connect somewhere in the intake world... Any ideas, anyone?

Humpty Dumpty would not buy this stool
By riverratlee
from Alpharetta, GA
I bought this stool because my back hurts after hours painting at my easel. After a about a week of using this stool it fell apart and I feel to the floor. So I thought it was just a defect so I sent it back and received a new stool. The second one proved to me that this stool is cheaply made. Do your self a favor don't trust this stool. Be safe spend more money and get a better quality stool.

The Broncos thought they looked like a bunch of shrewd cap geniuses for getting linebacker Elvis Dumervil to agree to a pay cut from his scheduled $12 million 2013 salary just before the league's 2 p.m. waiver wire deadline on Friday was set to expire. If Dumervil didn't agree to the pay cut, he would be released.
Dumervil agreed to cut his salary to $8 million just half an hour before the deadline. All that remained was signing the agreement and faxing it to Broncos headquarters. Everything appeared set and everyone was happy, that is until a malicious fax machine decided to be really slow and f*ck it all up. That's what the Broncos get for being the last business in operation to still use a fax machine.
Broncos didn't get fax with Elvis Dumervil signature on contract until 2:07 p.m. — 7 minutes and 1 second past the deadline!
— Mike Klis (@MikeKlis) March 15, 2013
So now Dumervil hits the open market. Yes, he can still re-sign with the Broncos, but it's not quite as simple as it sounds. Salary cap implications come into play that didn't exist before this screw-up. Plus, John Elway is going to be busy for a while doing this:

Democrats are broke; the ones in power have all the wealth.
Republicans still believe in trickle down economics and are more then willing to stand under the stream of the buddy-buddy system.
The American Citizens see clearly that neither party has the long term interests of the American people in mind; they have their position and of a select few in mind. They will set you on fire and turn your life to ash given the chance.
Trust this fact to be true.

When the hell did NBC get to declare who the winner was? I was under the impression that the people of Wisconsin and the elections board there declared the winner. Did ed Schultz ever consider that the people did change their government and then had to defend that. Lets not forget that asshole.

"Despite indications that President Obama's re-election campaign thinks Wisconsin is a swing state, exits polls in today's gubernatorial recall election shows Obama leading Mitt Romney by twelve points, 54% to 42%. He won the state in 2008 by 14 points."

I love how they keep referring to "labor unions".
News flash: Unionization rate in the private sector is 7% versus 35% in the public sector.
Government employee unions are not long for this world. It was never a good idea to let government employee unions pool workers' money to endorse candidates who then faced conflicts of interest when negotiating union contracts. No such conflict exists in private company unions and they are still More..

Ya, Obama and the Democrat political coffers are not huge right? Geeze for once it didn't go their way and now it's because of campaign money.
Maybe its because it's the first time that state made a profit instead of a deficit.

This recall was nothing more than a union tantrum. Walker gave them an elbow to the ribs to control costs.
And while some idiot will spout 'millionaire free money, 1%, tax loopholes' those stupid cliches just don't work here. There is no corporate fat cat involved in this.
The "bad guy" might be Walker, but the taxpayers of Wisconsin are the ones who would have to foot the bill. Maybe they need a break!

@Magun Eye get a grip Bubba, Walker won in Wisconsin which did vote democrat since 1984 but now voted Republican. The people voted and liberal, leftist, Union backed, socialist lost.
The exit polls were conducted by democrats, liberals and only asked the questions and answers from liberal democrats. This is why polls are not to be trusted because they can be biased in the direction the pollsters take.
Ask yourself this, "Where was Obama when barret needed his help?"

HOUSTON, Nov. 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cardtronics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CATM) today announced the pricing of $250 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2020 (the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes were offered in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company granted an option to the initial purchasers to purchase up to an additional $37.5 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes, solely to cover over-allotments. The Convertible Notes will pay interest semiannually at an annual rate of 1.00% and will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company's election, based on the applicable conversion rate at such time. The Convertible Notes have an initial conversion rate of 19.1022 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $52.35 per share of the Company's common stock), representing an initial conversion premium of approximately 25% above the closing price of $41.88 per share of the Company's common stock on November 19, 2013. The Convertible Notes will mature on December 1, 2020, unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Prior to September 1, 2020, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Company expects to close the offering on or about November 25, 2013, subject to the satisfaction of various customary closing conditions. In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates (in this capacity, the "hedge counterparties"). The convertible note hedge transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the Convertible Notes sold in the offering. The Company also entered into separate, privately negotiated warrant transactions with the hedge counterparties relating to the same number of shares of the Company's common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, with an initial strike price of approximately $73.29 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which is approximately 75% higher than the closing price of the Company's common stock on November 19, 2013. The warrants evidenced by the warrant transactions will be settled on a net-share or net-cash basis, at the Company's option. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, the Company intends to enter into additional convertible note hedge transactions and additional warrant transactions with the hedge counterparties, which will initially cover the number of shares of the Company's common stock that will initially underlie the additional notes sold to the initial purchasers. The convertible note hedge transactions are intended to reduce the potential dilution with respect to the Company's common stock and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes. The Company expects that to the extent the price per share of the Company's common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants, the warrant transactions could have a dilutive effect with respect to the Company's common stock.

Welcome back
look around and enjoy
I hadn't played 01/02 since 2001 I guess. It's bringing back some memories, I had an awesome game playing as Stalybridge Celtic. I remember having the re-incarnations of Edgar Davids, Rivaldo, Beckham and Scholes in my midfield. I seem to remember having to sell my defence to buy them so I didn't achieve what I should have done.
I'm just starting up a game as Stalybridge, going to relive some old memories. Sadly enough, after over a decade I still remember a few of the players (Steve Bushell was a favorite back then).
Welcome back
look around and enjoy
& enjoy
Also Danny Boshell, Mike Duff & Jamie Forrester to mention a few, are good for lower league teams on the original game
hello and welcome on board
Weclome, have a good time here
Welcome dude!
Thanks for the welcomes and player recommendations. I'm not sure if I should worry that I remember some of those players after all these years. I have a memory of signing Ben Watson from palace when I was in the conference which sticks with me, that could have been a different version though (I'm sure that was my Stalybridge Celtic game though).
I was in my final year at Uni when this was out. During Easter '02 all my mates went back home but I stayed to complete my project (I studied computer science). I did 2 hours of programming in the morning when I got up and two hours of write up in the evening. The rest of the day was between me and my Stalybridge save, I got through a fair number of hours of play.
This was probably the version of the game I had most fun with so I'm glad you guys exist.
Welcome to the site buddy .

Rolls-Royce to launch Phantom Series II on 21st September
- Sep 20, 2012
- 1316 Views
Rolls-Royce is a name associated with luxury, style and effortless performance and also sporting huge price-tags. The Phantom which was the first offering under BMW was responsible for bringing the brand into the 21'st century and also getting the tag of the 'best car in the world'. In India the less expensive and smaller Ghost brings in the numbers but the Phantom is the flagship. So on 21st September, Rolls will launch the Phantom Series II.
This new version has lots of changes mostly to the looks and interiors. The new, modern front-end for Phantom Series II, has new rectangular light apertures and re-designed front bumpers are also fully LED light clusters. For balance and proportion, this is integrated horizontally across the centre of Phantom's four-compartment headlamp. Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé and Drophead Coupé now come with a single piece grille surround, while Phantom saloon features a new rear bumper incorporating a polished stainless steel highlight.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Saloon and Extended Wheelbase wear a new front wing R-R badge with repeat indicator while three new wheel options, including painted, part-polished and polished, add to the range of 21" wheels, the largest fitted as standard to any production car. The interior however is a different story as it looks stunning and is very luxurious. It is full of wood, chrome and leather and deep, lambswool rugs.
The Phantom Saloon's theatre configuration adds two monitors within veneered picnic tables for rear seat passengers which are linked to a multi-media player, mounted in a compartment at the rear of the centre console. The inclusion of AV connectors, a six-DVD changer housed in the lower glove box and USB port in the centre console, means occupants can view separate content wherever they may be seated, front or rear.
The long features list includes a LOGIC7 surround sound system by Harman, USB, Aux-in and 12V power sockets. Additionally, music can be copied directly onto the car's hard-drive, thanks to the addition of a USB port in the glove compartment. A welcome feature is a new camera system which is offered as standard for all Phantom Series II. Cameras are positioned in five locations, two in the curves of the front bumper, two on the underside of each wing mirror and one in the trunk lid.
Under the long hood there is a naturally aspirated 6.75 litre V12 engine. This direct-injection petrol engine develops 720Nm of torque more than three quarters of which is available at 1,000 rpm. The torque curve remains largely flat between 1,000 and 3,000 rpm - an important prerequisite for effortless city driving - and moves occupants from 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds. But the talking point is the ride which is a trademark RR feature, its effortless and the refinement is out of the world.
The new Phantom Series II also has a new 8-speed automatic gearbox and rear differential and fuel consumption is improved by 10 percent. Not that owners would notice...
It takes 60 pairs of hands and more than 450 hours to design, construct and craft each Rolls-Royce motor car so it is indeed a special car. In India and in the rest of the world only a handful can enjoy this car but that doesn't stop it from being an icon.

David Byrne's perfect city
It's odd to me that I am linking to two Wall Street Journal stories in as many days but I just ran across this funny little video they did accompanying David Byrne, he of Talking Heads fame, to Brookyn via bikes. Byrne was a judge in a citywide competition to design new bike racks for New York City. He was so into the project that he designed his own. Included are giant shoes, dollar signs (for the Wall Street area natch) and dogs. The video is cute.

Update: Oct. 16, 2011
I gave this advice to a Flickr user who asked about using Gun Blue on a bike frame. I thought it might be helpful to others considering this finish:
I think gun bluing if a great way to approach frame finishing, but in my particular case things worked out poorly. I used a newbie powder coater who offered me a good price to apply the clear. I think he made a bad choice on which powder to use--like he went with one that is normally a top coat and is insufficiently tough enough to be a single coat. Long story short I got rust ... Bad. After commuting in snowy conditions a couple times the salt slag somehow got under the coat and the rust spread around the BB like a disease.
Now I'm having the frame recoated in a solid color by a good and recommended coater. He told me that the rust wasn't a product of the bluing -- it should have worked well if the original coater had done a better job.
As for bluing tips:
I was bluing a completely stripped frame that was cleaned up with a fine rotary wire brush drill attachment. I went over the frame with a very hi grit sandpaper -- like 800 -- and steel wool.
When applying the blueing agent, work from the bottom up - seems counter intuitive but this minimizes the effect of drips. If drips run down the raw unfinished steel they will appear darker when you hit up that section with its own layer of blue. If your working from the bottom up the drips only hit finished areas. Be quick with a rag to wipe them up and the won't leave a mark.
Do one full tube at a time -- that's a larger area than the Bluing box recommends but just work quickly to get it on evenly as fast as possible. Overlap can leave uneven darkness, so you don't want to have two work sections joining mid-tube. Wipe the blue on in long tube length swipes that end at the welds or lugs. Might consider using something larger than the swab they provide to get it on faster. A small sponge maybe.
Also, that stuff works fast so you can pretty much start cleaning it from the first area you swiped as soon as you finish the last swipe. Better to keep it light and hit it up again than let it sit and get irrevocably dark.
Note to anyone considering applying clear powder coating to a bike frame, gun blued or not: The heat of powder coating darkens raw steel. With one bike I coated clear, I hoped to preserve to look of cold raw steel, but it yellowed when it was coated... it didn't look bad--sort of made it look brassy-- but it's safe to say that you shouldn't expect the clear-coated frame to look exactly the same as id did pre-coating. In the case of this frame, the blue got darker too. Mine even took on a reddish hue behind the blue that was unexpected but, in a way, richer and awesome. Because of this darkening, you might want to leave it a little lighter than you want the finished frame to be. That will also help the texture of thebrushed steel to come through. Too dark and it will just look black after coating.
Last, keep it in a dry area until you are ready to coat. Bluing doesn't do much to ward off rust, and if it does rust you will be in a jam because you can't knock back the rust without removing the finish. I experimented with adding gun oil to keep the frame rust free until I got it to the coater. I think this was a mistake because the oil is the enemy of powder coating. It had to be fired off before the frame could be coated - this can change the tint. And it may have been remnant oil creating voids between the coating and tubing that led to my rust down the line. Regardless, your coater should treat the frame with an astringent to get all hand oils off the frame prior to coating.
Despite the failure of this frame I will definitely try this on future frames. When done well, it can be awesome. Next time I'm just going to be very upfront with the coater that I want a bombproof clear - possibly too coats if that can be done without too much discoloration.

I am 52 years old and hate my smile. I have spaces between my top teeth and I have some overjet. I also have a couple of teeth missing and several crowns and fillings. My front teeth look to healthy to lose other than the spacing etc. Could I still be able to have braces? I don`t want to lose anymore teeth and I would love to be able to smile without being self-conscious. Thanks.
Absolutely, you are not too old to have orthodontic (braces) treatment. Many adults are successfully undergoing orthodontic treatment today for a variety of dental health reasons. Make sure your doctor is a trained orthodontist. The American Association of Orthodontists can verify that with a call to 1-800-424-2841.You mention that you have some spaces and have lost some teeth. Make sure your general dentist and the orthodontist are working together. Do not shift around practitioners once a treatment plan is established.I hope this answers your questions, if not feel free to contact us further.

USF puts 8 on Big East academic football team
First, the positive spin: USF has placed eight football players on the Big East All-Academic Football Team, which recognizes athletes who maintain at least a 3.0 grade-point average, earn a letter and have completed at least two semesters of classes. Congrats to safety Nate Allen, receiver Marcus Edwards, punter Delbert Alvarado, offensive lineman Jake Sims, long snapper Eric Setser, and reserves Patrick Richardson, Mike Padilla and Ken Luberice.
Now, the rest: The eight players on the team represents the lowest total of the Big East's eight football programs. The only other team with less than 11 was Connecticut, with 9 players honored. Syracuse led the way with 16, followed by Pittsburgh, Rutgers and West Virginia with 13 each, Cincinnati with 12 and Louisville with 11.
The eight is actually up from seven last year, and is USF's highest total in four seasons in the Big East. It's worth noting that Edwards made the team for the fourth year in a row, and Setser made it for the third straight season. Alvarado and Sims are also repeat selections from last season, and Padilla was honored in 2006.
Since this is the official blog of all things walk-on (by the way, open tryouts started Thursday), I should mention that fully half of the eight Bulls recognized are current or former walk-ons in Sims and Setser (who had since earned scholarships) and Padilla and Luberice.

Why Detox?

Benefits of Fasting
Fasting is one of the most natural, powerful therapies known to humankind and is used to detox the body. Periods of abstinence from solid food, a ritual since ancient times, allow the body to "cleanse and purify," to remove multitudes of toxins, excess weight, parasites, and the damage caused by years of fast food, cigarettes, prescription drugs and alcohol. Add to that work-related stress, indigestion, illnesses, constipation and sedentary lifestyles, and you have a recipe for an unhealthy colon. Furthermore, the cells, tissues, organs of your body are given a well-deserved and much needed chance to slow down, rest, and heal.
With the addition of colon cleansing & colonics (a cleansing regime whereby the colon is flushed out with natural solutions, in itself a potent detoxification tool), our Detox programs offer a transformative, therapeutic process moving you towards much greater states of health and well-being. At the Sanctuary we use the Arise and Shine fasting products.
At the Sanctuary, there is a small intimate family feel at our detox center, and Mr. Moon and his team strive to offer you a very personal service. While our remote location offers us supply and lifestyle challenges from time to time, it offers you an opportunity to experience a true tropical beach where nature and jungle prevail.
Making it easy to Detox
At the Sanctuary we do all the hard work for you and make it easy to arrive and be guided through your detox in tropical paradise! We offer a variety of Detox Programs or inclusive Accommodation + Detox Packages to suite the available time you have. Our detoxes are easy and comfortable, giving you a choice of how gentle or complete you would like to take your cleanse.
