How does the lid make a food grade seal in processing? Does the product have to be heated like in a canning process or is it self sealing?

What are the case dimensions for the 16oz PET plastic bottles? Additionally, do you carry this bottle in 14oz? If so, what is the pricing, label dimensions, case dimensions?
How do I seal the bottles of sauce with this type of cap. Do I need a special machine or is it just a twist on type of thing. Is this seal meant for sealing bottles of sauce.
I need the dimensions for the 16 oz and 32 oz bottle...depth, width and height. Im working on upc codes and need these measurements. Also I need weight of both bottles in glass and plastic along with measurements. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also, I am in the market for some of your bottles but I live and need them in Maui Hawaii. I was really taken aback by the freight. For now I only need a small amount...perhaps a 100 with caps and shrink sleeves. Can you please investigate a better way to get the bottles to me. What about USPS? Thanks, Robert
Im looking to order the 16oz plastic bbq sauce bottle but I cant tell if Im looking at the one with the ribs with the longer neck or the lower cost one without the ribs. Which one will I receive if I order. I prefer the longer neck of the one with the ribs.

How to seal bottle, and preserve product.
Do these bottles need to be washed prior to filling with sauce?
If I cook my BBQ sauce and let it cool (it has tomato base) to room temp after cooking, can I fill these bottles and they still be safe to consume? How long will they generally stay good and must you refrigerate after opening?

text: Before I reinvent the wheel does anybody know how to reindex values to a different base? For example, prior to 2010 US GDP was indexed to 2000's dollars, 2010 to present it is indexed to 2005's dollars. I have a bunch of forecasts of GDP over the years and I want to put them all on the same playing field. Is there an easy way to do this?

Republic fashion chain bought by Sports Direct
The Republic fashion chain has been bought by Sports Direct for an undisclosed sum.
Administrators for Republic said the sale would "safeguard over 2,100 jobs" and secure a future for the Republic brand.
The announcement comes two weeks after Leeds-based Republic went into administration following weak sales.
Sports Direct has purchased 116 Republic stores, the brand name and its head office.
It has also bought all Republic's stock, and sub-brands SoulCal, Fabric and Crafted.
Hunter Kelly, joint administrator from accountancy group Ernst & Young, said: "The brand Republic is well recognised and well respected by customers for offering quality, high-fashion goods and it is a testament to its strength that Sports Direct has made this investment to secure its future and High Street presence.
"We are extremely grateful for the support and loyalty showed by all employees and customers during what has been an uncertain time, and would like to thank everyone at Republic for their commitment and hard work during the administration process."
Republic was launched in 1986, originally under the Best Jeans name.
It had 121 stores and 2,500 staff in total when it went into administration.
Republic was owned by private equity firm TPG, which bought the company in 2010 in a deal thought to be worth about £300m.
Analysts have criticised Republic's fast-paced expansion over recent years, saying that TPG should have instead concentrated on boosting its profitability.

Dealing with a compulsive liar can be very difficult. A person who lies constantly may begin believing his or her own lies after a time, thus making it very hard to confront the person.
Begin by talking
The best way to sort out lies from the truth is to talk. If you know this person well enough, you might be able to distinguish between the truth and the lies.
Expect denial
A compulsive liar will not admit to lying. Confronting the person is still the best way to deal with the situation. It will help you decide whether or not you need to maintain contact with a person you canâ??t believe or trust.
Confront a particular situation head on
If the compulsive liar has lied specifically about you, let him or her know you are aware of the situation. You may never get anything in the way of an apology, but at least the person will know where you stand.
Do not allow yourself to be manipulated
Compulsive liars are great manipulators and will make every attempt to turn a given situation into your fault. They may even make you feel as if you should admit to some sort of blame. Do not let this happen. Instead, stand your ground and maintain your original stance.
Donâ??t allow the person to manipulate you into believing you are wrong
If you truly feel the person is a liar, based on past events or even evidence you have collected, and you know you are right, you should stand firm on your belief and conviction. Otherwise you will only be opening yourself up for more lies in the future.
The best way to deal with a compulsive liar in the end, is to cut the person out of your life entirely. You deserve better and should surround yourself with people who are honest and trustworthy.

Monica Vernon likely will run for Braley's congressional seat
Cedar Rapids council member prepares Democratic bid for national office
CEDAR RAPIDS — Can the talent pool for congressional candidates extend to City Hall?
City Council member Monica Vernon is all-but-certain she is going to try to find out.
Vernon, the city's mayor pro tem and a two-term council member, on Tuesday said she is nearly ready to announce a run to become the Democratic candidate to replace Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Waterloo, in Iowa's 1st Congressional District. Braley is running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Tom Harkin, who is retiring.
Vernon said she hoped to formally decide about her candidacy by month's end.
"I've talked to my family, and my family is extremely supportive," said Vernon, who is married to Bill Vernon, a Cedar Rapids attorney. "And my three daughters are extremely supportive. And my friends are very ... I've just gotten a lot of support from more places than I anticipated."
Vernon is the owner of Vernon Research Group, a market research firm, and twice has easily won election to the City Council, defeating an incumbent in 2007 and winning re-election with 64 percent of the vote in 2011.
In both campaigns, she won the endorsement of both the Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce (now called the Metro Economic Alliance) and the Hawkeye Labor Council.
"They knew me, they knew I'd be progressive, they know I want to build a better Iowa," Vernon said of the broad backing for her City Hall campaigns.
Democratic voice
In May 2009, she changed her party affiliation from Republican to Democrat.
"I think there are a lot of Iowans who are looking for someone who will listen to them, who is just like them, who makes up her own mind about the issues, who is somewhat in the middle," Vernon said. "A lot of Republicans feel the party has left them, and I am certainly one of those."
Five of her six-plus years on the Cedar Rapids City Council have been focused on bringing the city back from its historic flood of June 2008.
"Some say we've made 20 years of decisions in five years," she said. "It's been intense. But I've enjoyed it, and I think we've gotten a lot to show for it."
History of service
Before her time on the council, Vernon served for a number of years as chairwoman and vice chairwoman of the Cedar Rapids City Planning Commission.
In her time as president of the Junior League of Cedar Rapids in the mid-1990s, Vernon led a $1.7 million campaign to build the Madge Phillips Center for homeless women and children.
Vernon on Tuesday called herself a moderate and a progressive and said she has "common sense on budgeting."
"I'm 55 years old, and I've spent my life getting enough education, building my family and my business and working hard on the community and the region," Vernon said. "Whether you're a Democrat, Republican or independent, I think you're looking for someone who is going to study hard, work hard and reach across the aisle. I think you're looking for someone who really cares, who wants to make a difference. And that's where I am."
Vernon, a Catholic, graduated from Regis High School in Cedar Rapids and has a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in business administration from the University of Iowa. Her daughters are ages 23, 24 and 26.
To date, Pat Murphy, a Democrat and former Iowa House speaker from Dubuque, has said he will seek the 1st Congressional District seat, and former Democratic state Sen. Swati Dandekar of Marion last week said she was forming an exploratory committee as she considers a run.The Republican field, so far, consists of businessmen Steve Rathje of Cedar Rapids and Rod Blum of Dubuque.

Have you heard? Somebody shot the archduke.
That means war, of course. As they straighten their crimson plumes, mount white horses and gallop off to the front, both sides still believe they will be home in three or four weeks, flushed with glory. But the dark skeptics think otherwise. This is no longer the nineteenth century, they warn. The days of gallant cavalry charges and individual heroism are over. Comes the age of the tank and the machine gun, the age of total war and agonizing stalemate. In order to gain nine feet of blood-soaked ground, entrenched infantries will suffer unspeakable losses. The corpses will pile so high in No Man's Land that gunners of both armies will shovel them aside to regain their sight lines, then slaughter anew.
In the end, opposing armies will take turns giving back their nine feet of ground. Then send up hundreds of thousands of new troops. Then start the killing all over again. And again.
Is this an extreme parallel? Who's to say? For all their blindness in the past twelve months (and the past twenty years), the fools and scoundrels and assorted ignoramuses of baseball might still have salvaged what's left of the game--if their outdated alliances hadn't been so stubborn, their greed so complete or their delusions so deep.
Instead, this is Belgium, 1914. Nothing will ever be the same again. No belief will hold. Even for the faithful, baseball is finished.
Next month, players barely worth the name will put on the pajamas in the sunny training camps, take a little batting practice, then engage in the most foolish charade in the history of American sport. In April the club owners will send these bits of cannon fodder onto the major-league playing fields. There, the poor amateurs and incompetents will drop fly balls, throw to wrong bases and walk the park. Naturally, they will be savaged by those fans still masochistic enough to buy tickets. Meanwhile, the absent multitudes will have turned away from the grimy little spectacle.
This may come as news to Bud Selig (who's a mule) and to Jose Canseco (who's unworthy to wash Willie Mays's socks), but the majority of Americans already regard baseball as a quaint heirloom of the last century. To most people, including teens and Generation Xers raised on the bright flash of MTV, it's a geezer of a game--slow, dull and listless. Where once the perfectly executed 4-6-3 double play stirred the blood, it now provokes impatience. How long must we wait for Bryant Stith to drive the lane and slam the leather home? Beholding the three-and-two count, five fouled-off pitches and (at last!) the single up the middle, instant-gratification freaks cry out: Hurry up, will ya? Let's see Emmitt hit that hole. Break into the open field! Give us, well, how about giving us... hockey?
Make no mistake. Baseball is now mired in the second division of American enthusiasms, with no prospect of moving up. Even without this killing strike, the latest evidence is overwhelming. For instance: Instead of a complete 1994 season or a World Series, baseball fans got Ken Burns's interminable public-television documentary about the game. It may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but more than eighteen hours of tinkling piano music and nostalgic revelry just didn't cut it. Did you get past that endless segment on Merkle's Boner? Do you know anyone who sat through the whole thing? Do you know anyone who listened for 67 straight days while that radio station in Akron played "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"? Didn't think so.
Former fans everywhere are grumbling about hiked-up season-ticket prices and the stupidity of the standoff, but even in the bowels of the culture, you can hear rumblings. Newsweek magazine, the sleepy, fence-sitting voice of Everytown and Middleburg, USA, recently ran a column crowing about the superiority of pro football. Academics, intellectuals and other poor saps, the piece pointed out, have long claimed quiet, contemplative baseball as their favorite sport. But it is football that demands the real brainpower, Newsweek said. The intricacies of the two-deep zone defense, while the wideouts get the backers to bite on the curl, make Willie, Mickey and the Duke and their whole musty lot of supporters look like Forrest Gump on a bad day. So. Not only is baseball dated, it's dumber than you thought.
Meaner, too. Where once Hollywood churned out sunny fictions about the heroic exploits of spotless Babe Ruth and mama's boy Lou Gehrig, it now gives us Tommy Lee Jones as Ty Cobb, the nastiest, most bigoted son of a bitch who ever laced up a pair of spikes. "The youth of America need heroes," Cobb spits through his teeth, then cackles hideously at the irony.
While you wait for him, go ahead. Cue up Field of Dreams on the VCR, if you can still manage it. Is there any baseball fan in America who doesn't now feel like laughing in Kevin Costner's awestruck face when Shoeless Joe Jackson comes floating out of the cornstalks? The game has betrayed us.
Well, then. Who speaks for baseball these days? Despite their incredible gall, the owners don't dare, and the players are all visiting their stockbrokers, getting portfolios together. America's little kids don't dream of the diamond anymore, and most of us former fans--the people who said we would love, honor and obey forever--are so pissed off we can't see straight. Perhaps that leaves, as baseball's sole defender, conservative pundit George Will--an upright Protestant white male who looks like he hasn't had any fun since Tommy Dorsey played Peoria. Apparently, he still loves the hopeless Cubs. And baseball. And the Romanovs.

But not even George is rock-bottom in baseball's world war. The game is now about to be shipped off to the courts and to Capitol Hill--and if that doesn't wring the last ounce of joy from the dying soldier, what will? Ohio's Howard Metzenbaum has retired, but Senators Orrin Hatch, the Republican from Utah, and Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the Democrat from New York, say they will carry on the effort to finally revoke major-league baseball's antitrust exemption in labor matters. The issue has gone before Congress before, to no avail. But that was before grim lawmakers stuck Yankees caps onto their heads in order to protest salary caps. Before Henry Hyde of Illinois, the new head of the House Judiciary Committee, said he would now change back into Dr. Jekyll: He, too, now opposes the antitrust exemption.
Little matter. The game is a bloody mess. Roger Clemens will some day retake the mound for the Red Sox. Dave Justice will glide back out to right field for the Braves. Andres Galarraga will settle into the batter's box at brand-new Coors Field, that bemused smile on his face once again. But will we give a damn? This most recent stalemate between players and owners suddenly feels as grim and tragic as Verdun--irrational as that seems. Never again will baseball occupy the cherished place in the American imagination that it once held. Never again will we believe. No matter what the loudmouths in Washington proclaim, or how the owners backpedal, or what concessions the players now make, the essential joy of the game is gone.
In this winter of discontent, barely a flicker survives in all the hot-stove league. So be it. Buck up and tune in the smart game. Football.

Some parents of Adelaide public school students are paying up to three times as much as others, a snapshot collated by 7News has revealed.
While today was the first day back in the classroom for 2013, a snapshot shows just how much annual school fees vary from school to school.
At Craigmore, in the northern suburbs, parents pay $284, just under the Government's recommended rate of $300.
But at Brighton, it is more than three times that, with fees coming to $920.
Other schools in the snapshot (and their annual fees) include:
- Henley, $695
- Norwood Morialta $750
- Adelaide $745
- Christies Beach $384
"(It's) a terrible social distinction between people who live in one part of the state compared with another," David Smith from the Australian Education Union said.
Primary school fees start at $214 and cover the cost basics, including books and IT systems.
Certain subjects can cost even more.
The Australian Education Union says the current public system is leaving some children disadvantaged, and it says the only way to make it a level playing field is to abolish fees altogether.
"If you are going to have an effective and fair public education system, then that should be totally and adequately funded, not propped up by parents," Mr Smith said.
The State Government says the current system works.
"All schools should be able to deliver the same level of education for their students," said Education Minister Jennifer Rankine.

Thank you so much, Ben, for replacing the 5th bolt!! You're the best!!!!! We'll be out climbing tomorrow morning if you and Pam happen to be there :)
We noticed several new routes on the far right side of the Acme Top Rope Wall. There are three nice ones there, and I wondered if anyone had any information about names and ratings. We've been enjoying them, whoever put them up. Thanks again!

The 49ers became one of the power brokers in the draft when they acquired a second first-round pick.
The club holds the Nos. 6 and 22 overall selections, which gives them plenty of options on draft day. The 49ers traded a second-round pick (No. 37 overall) and a third-round selection (No. 68) to the Broncos to get a second pick in the first round.
The 49ers have 10 picks in the seven-round draft. Their other picks are in the third round (No. 84), fourth round (No. 100), fifth round (No. 140), sixth round (Nos. 175 and 192), and seventh round (Nos. 213, 236 and 254).
"We feel like we acquired more value by making the trade for this pick," 49ers coach Mike Nolan said. "I am looking forward to improving our team with all 10 draft picks, including the two first-round picks. We will continue to build this team through the draft."
Using a widely circulated draft-pick value chart, the trade gave equal value to both the 49ers and Broncos. The No. 22 pick is worth 780 points of total value. The 37th pick is worth 530 points and the 68th pick is 250 points, totaling 780 points.
The 49ers have two first-round picks for the first time since 2000 when they selected linebacker Julian Peterson and cornerback Ahmed Plummer. Both players were immediate starters and played well for the 49ers until their production became limited due to injuries.
The 49ers have needs at virtually every position heading into this draft. They owned the league's worst offense and the league's worst defense. Moreover, on paper their roster has not improved since the beginning of last season.
Seven veteran starters from the start of the 2005 season are no longer with the club -- linebackers Julian Peterson, Andre Carter and Jamie Winborn; cornerback Ahmed Plummer; quarterback Tim Rattay; receiver Brandon Lloyd; and fullback Fred Beasley.
This offseason, the only starters the club has added are left guard Larry Allen and receiver Antonio Bryant. Veteran cornerbacks Walt Harris and Sammy Davis could compete for starting job, but appear better-suited as reserves. DRAFT STRATEGY:
The 49ers' starting lineup is in such sorry shape that the club could have conceivably drafted starters with all five of their draft picks in the first 100 selections. But coach Mike Nolan did not want to take any chances. He wants to make sure the club gets two players who he can count on to be around a while.
That is why the 49ers traded their picks in the second and third rounds to the Broncos for the No. 22 overall selection. With that selection, the 49ers are almost assured of looking to upgrade the league's worst defense.
But, first, the 49ers might look for a playmaker with their No. 6 pick to bring some life to the NFL's worst offense.
Unless they make a move up in the draft, which is a possibility, the 49ers' best bet would be to select Maryland tight end Vernon Davis. The club does not need a quarterback after selecting Alex Smith with the top overall pick last year, and the defensive players that they would like should already be gone.
The 49ers would love to see defensive end Mario Williams or linebacker A.J. Hawk still there at No. 6, but that does not appear likely. Conceivably, the 49ers could package their two first-round picks to move up to No. 3 to select Williams, but there appears a good chance Williams will be the second player chosen overall.
The 49ers' offense needs a lot of help, and Davis is the kind of player who can supply it. If the 49ers chose Davis, it would give them the kind of pass-catching tight end that can help turn around an offense.
The Chiefs and Chargers have been successful with a tight end as their leading receiver. The Chiefs had the No. 1 offense in the league last season, as tight end Tony Gonzalez led the team with 75 receptions. The Chargers ranked 10th in the league, with tight end Antonio Gates catching 89 passes for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns.
If the 49ers landed Davis in the first round, they could turn most of their attention the rest of the way to defense. They would likely get a cornerback or outside linebacker with their pick at No. 22. Whichever ever way they go, they would likely be able to get the second- or third-rated player at that position with their other first-round selection.
Among the cornerbacks who could be available at No. 22 are Tye Hill, Jimmy Williams, Johnathan Joseph, Antonio Cromartie and Richard Marshall. The outside linebackers the 49ers might consider are Ernie Sims, Manny Lawson, Chad Greenway and DeMeco Ryans.

In 2013 General Motors made headlines by making Mary Barra the first female CEO of a car manufacturing juggernaut.
Today Mary Barra and General Motors are in the spotlight for something altogether different: a safety recall on 2.6 million cars over a faulty ignition switch, which is linked to at least 13 deaths.
Last week Barra testified before a House subcommittee and within days her performance was lampooned on Saturday Night Live.
Unfortunately for Barra, there isn't much of a perceptible difference between satire and reality:
When Barra was appointed CEO last December, we talked to Harvard historian Nancy Koehn about the significance of a woman running a battleship of a business, particularly in an industry that has largely been driven by men. It's a conversation worth listening to as a reminder of Barra's achievements and qualifications. A 30-year General Motors veteran, Barra has worked every important facet at the executive level: human resources, product development, and global supply chain.
After reviewing her experience it's hard to buy into some of the theories floating around that Barra was set up by General Motors to be the sacrificial lamb. It also makes it hard to believe that she knows nothing.
Today we talk to Nancy Koehn about how Barra is handling this crisis as the leader of General Motors. To hear Koehn's nuanced analysis of corporate culture, corporate accountability and where Barra will be in two years, listen here:

Nicole Richie Shows Cleavage, Healthy Bod in Tiny Bikini
Fashion Star mentor and clotheshorse Nicole Richie wasn't wearing all that much lounging by a hotel pool in Miami's South Beach on Wednesday.
In town for a Tuesday night bash held in honor of her Ocean Drive magazine cover, the 30-year-old mother of two soaked up the sun in a skimpy, dark mauve bikini that showed off her healthy, not-too-skinny bod -- and her recent breast augmentation.
Us Weekly was first to break the news that Richie got breast implants over summer 2011.
PHOTOS: Most dramatic plastic surgeries in Hollywood
"In the past, she said she wanted a lift, though we never thought she was serious," one source said of Richie, who has daughter Harlow, 4, and son Sparrow, 2, with husband Joel Madden. "The pregnancies took a toll," the insider explained of the House of Harlow 1960 designer. "She said breast-feeding killed what boobs she did have!"
PHOTOS: How Nicole went from wild to mild
Joked Richie via Twitter of her arrival in Miami earlier this week: "Just got to Miami and Will Smith DID NOT pick me up in his ride with the top down. This is bullsh**."

WR/DB Devin Butler recently visited Penn State and came away so impressed that he name PSU as his leading school shortly after. Yesterday via Facebook, Devin announced that on May 12, he will make his college decision.
He is currently visiting Notre Dame, but assured me last night that Penn State will be a finalist. I'm not sure what position the Penn State staff sees Butler playing, and it honestly could depend how the class ends up in February. I think Devin is athletic enough to play either offense or defense. He has a skill set similar to class of 2012 commit, Malik Golden. His film shows a solid player on both sides of the ball.
Devin told me that he isn't sure if he will visit State College again between now and May 12, but that he hopes to.
My gut feeling 6 weeks out, Devin commits to Penn State.

CFS/FISMA Report
|Release Type:
We contracted with the independent public accounting firm, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (the Contractor), to audit VA's consolidated financial statements. This audit is an annual requirement of the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990. The contractor provided an unqualified opinion on VA's fiscal year 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements. With respect to internal control, the Contractor identified one material weakness, information technology security controls, which is a repeat condition. They also reported VA has taken corrective actions sufficient to eliminate the one significant deficiency cited last year, undelivered orders
The Contractor reported that VA did not substantially comply with the Federal financial management systems requirements of the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) of 1996. They also noted instances of non-compliance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. They also cited instances of non-compliance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. They noted that VA is engaged in one active investigation of a possible violation of the Anti-deficiency Act. The contractor also referenced an OIG report issued in FY 2013 citing less than full compliance with the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act.

How to effectively use technology to position your practice for success (Proceedings)
Do you embrace technology or shy away from it? Technology should not be a dirty word but instead a helpful tool to drive your practice to its next level of excellence. By technology, I am referring to web sites, electronic medical records (paperless practice), email reminders, internet shop sites and yes, even the purchase of new equipment such as digital radiology or a surgical laser. Is it all worth it? Will it make a difference in your practice?
2) How do you measure appointment fill rate and doctor productivity?
3) Email reminders - A recent study conducted by VetStreet found that adding e-mail reminders to your reminder protocol might increase your overall effectiveness by 17%. If you would figure the average veterinarian might see 3,000 clients a year, 17% would equal 510 clients. Based on a $120.00 per client transaction charge that would equate to another $61,200 of income per doctor per year, and of course a healthier patient. The costs of sending e-mail reminders are substantially less and require less involvement of your team members.What is the most effective protocol? I would suggest you send an e-mail reminder for the first reminder. Naturally you need to make sure you have the clients e-mail address in the computer and it is up to date. But once you start communicating with your clients via e-mail you will see the sky is the limit.
a) What should you be reminding for? Medical recalls, appointment reminders on appointments, sending them supportive medical information on problems you discussed with them, birthday cards and so much more. They will be impressed and better bonded to your practice.

Rory McIlroy's victory at Wentworth proved once again that aside from being prodigiously talented the 25-year-old is also amazingly resilient.
Rather then feeling sorry for himself following the breakdown of his relationship with Caroline Wozniacki, he faced the media and threw himself into the tournament.
Wentworth has never been a particular favourite of Rory's but with the course softened by the rain it suited him much better and he made the most of the opportunity to secure what could be a very important victory.
"With it being so soft, it played a lot differently and played into my hands," said Rory.
"It played longer. Balls were not bouncing off fairways into rough. You weren't getting big bounces on greens. You didn't have to try to play from the front edges.
"You could play really sort of aggressive target golf out there, which isn't usually the style of golf that you need around Wentworth.
"But with the rain this week, that's what it turned into."
And he added; "I think the win at the end of last year in Australia sort of stopped all the questions about equipment and about struggling and slump and all this stuff.
"I think this victory here, against a great field, one of the best fields of the year, especially in Europe; it sort of cements that, and shows where my game is and I'm on the right track again.
"You know, hopefully it won't be long before I'm contending in majors and having a chance to win those again.
"I guess it just validates all the hard work and everything that I've put in this year."
The second major of the year, the US Open is less than three weeks and McIlroy will head to Pinehurst with renewed confidence.
It's a different story for second placed Shane Lowry who will play in the US Open qualifier at Walton Heath today alongside Padraig Harrington, Kevin Phelan and Michael Hoey.
Lowry has endured a difficult season but put all that behind him with a superb effort on the final day.
"My season hasn't been going great but I did fancy myself coming in here, I really, really did," said Shane.
"I love this place. And you know, I thought today was my day, but obviously not, hopefully next year.
"I mean, to be honest, I feel very unlucky. You know, I felt like I hit some great shots coming in, and like I hit probably best five-iron of my whole year to 15, and ended up making bogey, which is a bit annoying, especially after bouncing back from a double with a birdie.
"And the double bogey, as well. I know I hit a poor tee shot, and found the only bush like that on the course and found myself in it and was struggling from there.
"But to hole the putt on the last and to finish second on my own is really nice. It's given me a lot of World Ranking points and a lot of Race to Dubai points as well."
Simon Thornton carded a final round 74 to finish on one over par for a share of 46th place.
Padraig Harrington finished well down the leaderboard on four over with Damien McGrane a shot further back.

Treating Seasonal Asthma
I am suffering from bronchial asthma which starts at the onset of winter season i.e. October to Novemeber and then disappears in Decemeber. During rest of the year, I am totally fine without any trace of the problem. The problem starts with sneezing and then difficulty in breathing followed by cough. This lasts for two months with up and downs getting worse in evening. However, I sleep well. Initially I control with Ventorlin inhaler but when it get worse I take Deriphylline SR 300 mg along with Ventorlin inhaler. During worse times I start Becoride inhaler 2 puffs three times a day. But still the problem remains but under control. I have to use Ventorlin inhaler 7-8 times a day. Is that safe? Am I following the right procedure? I must tell that I am overweight as well but during the periods when I am fine, I dont find any problem in carrying my weight even if I have to climb 5 floors.
If you have to use ventolin 7-8 times a day and are waking up at night then your asthma is not well controlled. You need to see an asthma specialist (allergist or pulmonologist) who can properly evaluate what is going on here. There are other concomitant problems that can confound a diagnosis of asthma such as obesity, heartburn, allergies/sinusitis (i.e., post-nasal drip), heart problems... All of these other problems should be further evaluated to make sure that they aren't causing some of your respiratory problems. An allergist can determine whether you are allergic to something in your home or work environment that could be triggering your symptoms during this time. They can also obtain spirometry to confirm your diagnosis of asthma, determine its severity and what treatment would be most appropriate so you aren't suffering like this every year during this time.

Honor King with end to war, poverty
As we celebrate the commemoration of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 84th birthday, let us remember that he not only fought for racial justice and equality, but also called on us to end poverty and eliminate war.
The numbers of Americans and families living in poverty have risen to their highest since 1993. Over 20 percent of children in the U.S. live in abject poverty, the number of children going to bed hungry at night at its highest. This is occurring in this vast land of plenty, a country blessed with rich agricultural production. The number of unemployed and laid-off Americans remains high.
The U.S. invasion of Iraq and its war in Afghanistan have cost thousands of Americans' lives, and killed untold numbers of children, women and men in both countries. Their blood stains our hands and should prick our consciences.
Over $4 trillion of Americans' taxpayers moneys have been spent to wage war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the ongoing war expenditures continue to drain our nation's budget.
King, who also spoke out against the War in Vietnam, said, "Wisdom born of experience should tell us that war is obsolete … If we assume that life is worth living and that man has a right to survive, then we must find an alternative to war."
Let us honor King in word and in deed. Let us reaffirm our belief in the sanctity of all human life.

Rescuing a pet is more than saving property
It was wonderful to read the article "Rescuers ready to help big pets" (Page 2B, Jan. 12). But the end of the article was so discouraging. "Our job is to protect life, property and the environment," stated Ron Ricabaugh, "and so in these instances, someone's pet becomes property." I beg to differ. When you rescue an animal, you save a life. As a fellow rescuer of over 2,000 euthanasia list animals from local shelters, I can honestly say that I have never saved anyone's property. It would communicate a much more accurate and compassionate message if he emphasized the same.

Bold steps needed to control guns
To think that our government will ever come to any meaningful gun control is ridiculous. We need to take a bold step for the future. We need to: 1) outlaw the manufacturing and the importing of guns in the United States except 5-round bolt action hunting rifles and 2-shot standard length shotguns for hunting; 2) Subsidize gun manufacturers for a period of years and help them retool for military and law enforcement contracts or into other industries. Fifty years from now there will not be very many guns in the U.S.

NRA doesn't care about protecting children
I want to thank Dennis Lowe (Letters, Jan. 18) regarding his recent life membership to the NRA. It motivated me to immediately make a significant contribution today to a respected organization pushing for rational, constitutionally valid gun control. Lowe cites the emotional and irrational comments from the liberal left for his motivation. An intelligent, rational individual, whether liberal or conservative, need only listen to David Keene, president of the NRA, or their senior lobbyist, Wayne LaPierre, to know who is irrational and that their loyalties lie with the moneyed interests of gun manufacturers. They care not in protecting our children who are the most vulnerable members of our society. I hope others are similarly motivated as I have become.

Second Amendment safe as Obama leads
Republicans have told President Obama to lead. Well, they're getting their wish: guns, immigration, and debt ceiling to start.
In response to the tragedy at Newtown, the president proposed: Requiring background checks for all gun sales; expanding the database upon which the background checks are based, including increased sharing of information between state and federal agencies; banning military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines; and increasing access to mental health services and clarifying the restrictions placed on medical care providers.
The president has signed 23 executive actions as well as challenging Congress to pass legislation to accomplish the above.
In order to move the debate forward, it's important to remember the dozens of innocent children and adults who have been gunned down in our schools, movie theaters, malls, and streets in the last few months as well as the fact that none of these proposals are attempting to repeal the Second Amendment.

Obama should reach out to the other side
If President Obama really believed that America is "like a shining city on a hill" and a "beacon of hope to the rest of the world," he would do what President Clinton did in leading the country back to the center and trying to reach out at least part way to the other side. In so doing he would be more likely to have a successful second term.

With corporate earnings collapsing these days, some growth funds are modifying their approaches. Instead of straining to find stocks with rapid earnings gains, portfolio managers are settling for companies that are reporting little or no growth. But not all growth funds have shifted. Some managers are sticking to their rigid disciplines, combing through the stock universe to find the limited number of companies that are still reporting rich profits. Consider Bob Auer, the consistent manager of Auer Growth ( AUERX). Year after year, Auer only takes stocks that grow at an annual rate of at least 25% and sell for a price-to-earnings ratio of not more than 12. "We want to pay less and get more," Auer says. The growth fund currently holds 202 stocks that have passed his screens. In recent years, Auer has owned as many as 250 stocks. The total slipped to 150 in 2002, a recession year. To find stocks, Auer considers 9,000 candidates, ranging from tiny companies with market capitalizations of less than $10 million to the giants of the S&P 500. Computers could do the work, but most programs are not as current as the news columns of The Wall Street Journal and Investor's Business Daily. So Auer relies on the newspapers and a pair of scissors. Every day he flips through the papers looking for quarterly earnings reports. Once he finds a candidate, Auer cuts out the article. Besides examining the earnings growth and P/E ratio, he also reviews the balance sheet to make sure the business is not about to go bankrupt. As a final check, he examines statements by the company. If the chief executive forecasts that earnings will fall, Auer stays away.

Hey Nielsen Families! Let's Boycott O.J.!
This is the day media decided to explode locally and nationally, what with Clear Channel's decision to sell off 448 radio stations, the Tampa Tribune admitting its star Al-Arian reporter has left the story after starting a romantic relationship with the one of the prosecutor, news I reported yesterday of WFLA-Ch. 8 being criticized for airing a video press release as news and the arrival in St. Petersburg tonight of Early Show co-anchor Rene Syler, in town to speak at the annual awards ceremony convened by the Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists, which I lead.
I don't have much time today, but I wanted to write about another media story exploding today: Fox's decision to present an interview with O.J. Simpson to coincide with his upcoming book If I Did It.
I wish there was a way to write about this without adding to the media buzz already surrounding this awful mess. We all know the dynamic: media and TV critics write columns condemning the show, anchors on the cable newschannels convene talk segments with experts condemning the program (I'll be doing one, CNN's Reliable Sources, at 10:30 a.m. Sunday) and then a huge audience turns up to watch the train wreck commence.
It's an orgy of synergy. O.J.'s book is published by ReganBooks and his so-called interview (conducted by his publisher, Judith Regan) airs over two nights on the Fox network. Guess what company owns both entities? Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (the show is kicking up such a stench that even Bill O'Reilly tried to distance himself from it last night, claiming "Fox Broadcasting has nothing to do with the Fox News Channel." Well, except for the fact that the same guy signs everybody's checks.
I know my little blog is less than a drop in the big media bucket on this issue. But I want to make a plea here, for my own sanity as a media commentator, to any household whose viewing habits are monitored by the ratings company Nielsen Media Research.
Doesn't matter if you or I stay away from it, if our viewing habits aren't tabulated by the folks who count ratings. This is the first time I've ever written such a recommendation, because it feels a little like cooking the books -- changing the viewership sample to affect the popularity of a show.
But if this television train wreck actually draws ratings, it will only encourage the networks to do more. If you thought Dateline's To Catch a Predator series was skeevy, imagine what sorts of freakizoids the networks will stick in front of a camera if their O.J. project breaks the ratings bank?
So, Nielsen families, our viewing fate is in your hands. I've met enough of you to know that most of you take your responsiblities very seriously. Do us a favor, and give Fox a reason to never try anything this sordid again.

In 2010, Colin Firth won the Academy award for the best Actor for 'The King's speech' but he was already nomminated a year before for this movie and, honestly, I thought he was here even better, giving easily the best performance of his career. Firth is basically on every single scene and he is just pitch-perfect during the whole thing, carrying the movie on his shoulders. I have to say I was quite amazed by Tom Ford's directing which is even more impressing when you think that it is actually his directing début. The only complain I would have is that the movie was actually too short and even if the main character was very well developped and quite fascinating, the other characters didn't get much attention and I actually wanted to know more about them. Still, it is quite a spellbinding feature dealing with various themes such as life, death, love, homosexuality and depression. To conclude, I thought it was a fascinating performance in a really interesting movie and it is definitely worth a look.

While nearly 600,000 truly needy individuals with disabilities are trapped on Medicaid waiting lists, ObamaCare's Medicaid Expansion redirects limited taxpayer resources to a new welfare class of able-bodied, childless adults that puts them at risk. An FGA study found that every ObamaCare expansion state with available data has enrolled more able-bodied adults than they expected to ever enroll. On average, these states have enrolled 110% more adults than expected.
State spending on Medicaid increased 71% in the last 10 years, making it one of the largest and fastest growing line items in state budgets. Because it is growing faster than state revenues, the program siphons away resources from other budget priorities, like kids, cops, and roads. Medicaid expansion throws gas on this spending fire.
Medicaid expansion already makes welfare for able-bodied adults a higher priority than services for the nearly 600,000 seniors, children with developmental disabilities, individuals with brain injuries, and other vulnerable individuals currently languishing on waiting lists for needed Medicaid services. Mounting overruns will soon exacerbate pressure on policymakers to shift even more money away from the truly needy and towards ObamaCare's able-bodied adults.

WSS Rider Fabien Foret Says He Could Have Gone Faster
© 2017, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

From a Ten Kate Honda press release:

Foret has the pole position habit

Fabien Foret withstood temperatures in the upper thirties to take his third pole position in three races here at Misano today.

While other riders wilted in the heat or suffered from bike problems, Foret kept his cool to head the pack again. "I could have gone faster still," said Foret, "but there were no other riders putting pressure on me so I didn't see the point of pushing even harder in this heat. But my bike feels great, I have a very good race set up and am confident that my Pirelli tyres and WP Suspension can cope with the extreme conditions."

His team mate Iain MacPherson dropped down the order late in the session to finish ninth on the grid after a freak incident. MacPherson banged his knee so hard on the kerb while running a fast lap late in the session that he found he couldn't shift gear. "I ran off the track and then just sat on my bike trying to let the pain pass," explained MacPherson. Doctors trackside thought he was suffering from heat exhaustion and hussled him onto a stretcher. MacPherson, who is from Scotland, couldn't make his real predicament understood until he arrived back at the medical centre. By the time he was released, the session was over.

Team Manager Ronald ten Kate was happy again to see one of his riders in pole position. "The problem at Misano is very specific heat! We're spending a lot of time and effort on keeping the riders cool with ice and fans and the bikes cool with blowers."

He was also full of praise for the Honda CBR600FS, "This bike is cool, literally! The race tomorrow will be very hard on bikes, tyres and riders, but I am confident we have the best combination of all three."

J Horror and Japanese horror movie reviews
We in the West have this peculiar habit of taking simple things and turning them into contrived, distinctly unsubtle and generally messy concepts. The horror film is no exception. Back in the 1950's, before we had the idea, the Japanese horror film ('J-horror') was already taking shape…
J-Horror has its roots in traditional folk tale, most commonly adapted from culturally-dominant ghost stories from the consecutive 'Edo' and 'Meiji' periods (1603-1912). The ghost (or Yurei) theme is so strong in J-horror that different ghosts have distinctive names and traits. The most familiar to our western cinemas are "Zashiki-warashi" – the ghost of a dead child, "Ikiro" – a ghost that represents negative emotions in a person, "Funayurei" – specifically ghosts that have drowned and "Yomi", the revenge-seeking ghost. This revenge-seeking is closely tied to the traditional Japanese cultural aspect of respect to wronged relatives and ancestors.
The origins of ghost-based storytelling started in Japanese Kabuki theatre. The character of the ghost was always painted white, as white is the colour of mourning in Japan, and this carried over into the cinematic productions, with the ghost character always being represented as being extremely pale, or wearing white clothing.
Females are key to J-horror, nearly always portraying the ghost itself. This is partly because historically a Japanese woman's role was to stay inside, and be obedient towards her husband. As a result, many of the Ikiro characters are a representation of their frustration, anger, and resentment.
Takashi Shimizu, director of The Grudge, has commented on the role of women in J-horror. "Women had been long confined by their husbands and society and their anger and frustration had been bottled up inside. I am drawn to their deep grudge and female tenacity".
Women have also started to take on a subgenre in J-horror – that of the vigilante, the opposite to the traditional victim role. Although not a Japanese horror film, Kill Bill reflects the rise of the Asian female vigilante character in modern cinema through the portrayal of O'Ren Ishii. But Tarantino knew his film history, and was nodding towards japanese female Asian vigilantes like Female Convict Scorpion.
Unlike our charming western habit of drenching everything in prosthetic blood, J-horror focuses on the psychological: Tension, suspense and fear make a J-horror more subtly atmospheric and disturbing than our version of the horror genre, which means less reliance on physical harm and bloody violence.
The Japanese horror film has only fairly recently been embraced by Hollywood, but there are rich pickings to be had. To get an idea of the genre, check out these movies:
- The Ring ('Ringu' is the original)
- The Grudge ('Ju-on' is the original)
- Dark Water ('Honogurai mizu no soko kara' is the original)
- One missed Call ('Chakushin ari' is the original)
Yes, you may watch the new remakes. To be honest, they save having to look at the subtitles whilst trying to work out the plot. However, in watching the western remakes you will lose some subtlety of atmosphere, even if you gain in increased special effects and explosions.
If you dig the J-horror thing, check out these originals:
- Ghost Story of Yotsuya – from 1959, a classic
- Onibaba and Kuroneko – from the 60's, good authentic stuff
- Kairo and Curse – late 90's, when J-horror departed from the 70's flirtation of a bit of 'splatter ' and returned to dark and meaningful
- Ringu and Ringu 2 – the originals of the Hollywood remake mentioned above
- Odishon ('Audition') – only watch if you like a slow-burner with some truly disturbing moments
- Buy J-Horror movies online
If you need some conservative cultural awareness with your share of scare, grab some sushi or salted edamame and check out my list!

Some of you may have went to the Grand Opening of Woodland Ways Shop on Saturday. For one reason and another (****** back) I didn't get.
Anyhoo I nipped down today to see them and bought a Light my Fire big box of Fatwood for £2 & some nice hot Jerked Jerky (way hot - phew) and some nice Soy and Ginger Jerky made by The Jerky Shack at £1.35 for 15g (among some other stuff SWMBO didn't see)
(nearly half the price of that on evilbay )
Nice setup as well with lots of useful stuff from Knives, make your own knife sets, DD hammocks, bowdrill sets, titanium eating sets, a nice natural looking KFS and teaspoon set for sale among loads of other reasonably, useful stuff, to Zebra Billy's at £19.95. Not too much faddy stuff about (You know - that stuff everyone's advised to buy but no one ever uses )
Also has areas to show tracking skills, fire making and I saw a sign saying one to one bowdrill instruction for £5. Also had a one man natural shelter on show.
Talking to Jason and Jo (the owners) they said they had several people already booked for the desert survival trip they have organised (I drink to much water, tea and coffee to do it unfortunately ha ha )
I'm not affiliated just a satisfied customer that was pleased to find a shop that knows what decent stuff is and the person serving knows how to use it and can offer advice on stuff suited to you!
You can find them behind the Country Park Premier Inn at Woodland Ways, Priory Marina, Barkers Lane, Bedford, MK41 9DJ
They're web shop and site should be up and running soon apparently
Whittler Kev.

Today marks the fifth anniversary of Helston Farmers' Market, which has grown to become one of the biggest in the county.
When it started in 2008 there were just 16 producers from the area huddled under a marquee on Events Square in Coronation Park – but their goods sold out within hours.
It proved to be a memorable start, as hundreds of people came to buy local produce from, what was then, one of the few farmers' markets in the area.
Now the monthly market, which takes place on the first Saturday of each month, attracts around 40 producers each time.
Looking back, market controller Joanne Schofield said: "It was such an amazing and exciting time for everyone. People loved the social gathering and enjoyed the experience of buying good local produce – and they still do.
"The market has gone from strength to strength over the past five years and it is great to be back to the Old Cattle Market where it all started."
Idea of setting up a food market for Helston came from the South Kerrier Alliance and its subsequent success played a part in helping the group – a community interest company – create the Old Cattle Market building where the market is based.
The market this Saturday (May 4) opens at 9.30am and runs until 1.30pm.

Loss to Saints leaves Freo on knife's edge
Fremantle will have to rely on the Western Bulldogs beating Essendon to make the finals this year after they lost to St Kilda in their final home and away match.
The Saints secured third place on the ladder with a 17.10 (112) to 12.11 (83) victory at Docklands.
The Dockers' loss means they are now outside the top eight, trailing the Bombers by 1.1 percentage points on for and against, which means even a narrow loss by Essendon tomorrow could see the Bombers take eighth spot.
St Kilda will play Brisbane at the Gabba in the first week of the finals unless Adelaide can upset Port in the Showdown tomorrow.
Saints midfielder Luke Ball said finals fever had already begun to grip the club.
"I think we've only five or six blokes who actually have experienced finals footy, so for the majority of us it is the unknown, it's exciting, but having said that we understand it's another level up," he said.
Fraser Gehrig continued his strong goalkicking form, landing four majors to take him to 90 for the season.
His effort means Essendon spearhead Matthew Lloyd, who's had a virtual mortgage on the Coleman Medal in recent seasons, will have to kick eight goals against the Dogs to win the honour awarded to the AFL's top goalkicker.
Other contributors for the Saints were Justin Koschitzke who kicked three and Nick Riewoldt, Nick Dal Santo and Luke Ball who each kicked two.
For the Dockers, Jeff Farmer and Troy Longmuir each kicked two goals.
St Kilda led at every change - by four points at quarter-time, 23 at half-time and 22 at three-quarter-time.
The victory may turn out to be the last in a stunning fall from grace for the Dockers, who had won 11 of their first 18 matches only to lose their last four.

Dream comes true for Utah's 'short-shorts' dad following international reaction to viral photo
Just an Observer Salt Lake City, UTOct. 30, 2013 10:51 a.m.
Wow--surprised at a couple of negative comments here. For the record, the phrase "modest is hottest" is in no way whatsoever about objectifying women, but rather saying that their appeal should be in who they are rather than how much skin they show. And to the poster who apparently thinks people have everything figured out at 19 and need no further help, I'm going to flatly disagree with you. I myself am nearly 30 years beyond that, and I wish that my own parents had been trying their very best over all those years to both lead the way and offer advice for what was ahead. Things would have been much better for me if that had been the case; since I also love my daughter who is a teenager, I most certainly will continue to help guide her when I think she can benefit from it.
aljmac Salt Lake City, UTOct. 30, 2013 9:30 a.m.
So his daughter is 19 and he's still telling her how to dress? Sir, you had 18 years to do that. Now let it go and let her figure it out.
I'll be honest, DNews, I don't think this dad's behavior toward an adult woman by mocking her shows respect and love. I have no doubt he loves her and wants her to be loved and not objectified by others. I actually think what he did is a poor example of how to handle this situation and instead it's being celebrated and promoted. Too bad.
While not as long as the dad would prefer, I'd be shocked if her shorts were worth making a public spectacle about.
Just my two cents.
Christmas Carole LAS CRUCES, NMOct. 30, 2013 8:46 a.m.
The MOST heartwarming part of this whole situation is to have our eyes opened to the fact that MUCH of America DOES still care about modesty in public and specifically in their teenage daughters who have become MORE objectified than ever in the history of the world....(and now the targeted group is becoming the female preteens!)
Way to go Dad!!!
M. Butler Brooklyn, NYOct. 30, 2013 8:16 a.m.
If her shorts were the same length as the cut-offs her dad wore, what's the problem? He looked ridiculous in them, but that's a function of his age and sex. A young woman can look perfectly nice in a pair of shorts that long.
Oh, and "modest is hottest" is ridiculous. You don't want girls objectified for dressing in revealing clothing, but want to replace it by their being objectified for dressing in non-revealing clothes?
ebur Charlotte, NCOct. 29, 2013 3:22 p.m.
Have anybody seen the pic of the guy in short-shorts? He is a pretty Hot Daddy, with very sexy legs!!!!! :-)
CARL South Salt Lake, UTOct. 29, 2013 12:20 p.m.
How about showing that same thing to those guys who wear jeans that revel undershorts on top?

I am happy for them, I really am. It got me thinking about how I do what I want and not doing the things that I need to do because I've became lazy. I'm trying to want to do the things I need to do. My motivation is my heart. I have to exercises, motion makes motion. In order to do any thing you have to do it. Doing things for others makes my heart feel good.
