Recruitment of Middle School Athletes Reaches Fever Pitch
June 27, 2012
© Veer
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play, today… Look at me, I can be… A superstar…because the scouts are in the bleachers. Wait, that's not quite what John Fogerty was singing about. And definitely not at 10 or 12 years old. But that's exactly what's playing out on basketball courts, hockey rinks, baseball and soccer and lacrosse fields across America. You name the sport, and kids as young as fifth grade are being scouted to be the next LeBron James or David Beckham or Sid Crosby, the next Brittney Griner or Hope Solo or Nastia Luikin. There's money in it, not just for the kid and the family, or the Hollywood-caliber agent, but for the coaches that bring these kids to the elite high school team, the elite college team and so on, until and if he makes the pros. Witness yesterday's article on the front page of the New York Times, adjacent to the latest presidential election poll and the strife in Syria (Greece, Egypt, you fill in the blank). Middle-school kids are being scouted as vigorously—maybe even more so than high school recruits because there are no rules about how much you can harass these families. Who ever thought this would be an issue? We wrote about the increasingly competitive arena of youth sports more than two years ago and clearly the situation is only getting worse.
Plus: 7 Awesome Sports-Themed Birthday Cakes
Of course, we're on the eve of the NBA draft Thursday night, during which everyone will debate the talents of the NCAA champs—the University of Kentucky's Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to name the top two of a starting freshmen lineup—and whether or not they should be staying in college. If it weren't for the scouts and the agents and the handlers, maybe these kids would be getting an education instead of attempting to play a professional sport that many of them won't even have much of a chance of succeeding at.
Plus: Are Kids' Sports Too Competitive?
As a parent of three young athletes, I love youth sports. I love that they're healthy and fit and learning teamwork and it's even been a boon to my social life. They're all pretty decent players—and it keeps them out of trouble and off the xBox, compared to the digital hours their peers log. Are they being scouted? Um, probably not. And neither is your kid. Nor should they be made to feel less adequate because other kids are viewed as sports commodities. The truth is, no one knows who will develop into a varsity or college athlete and who will stop growing and become just, God forbid, average. Are you with me on this? Let's return youth sports to the days when "put me in coach" meant "I want to have fun" not "give me a scholarship."

XML Converter Professional Edition |
XML Converter Professional Edition is the complete solution for the developer who wants the browse facilities provided in the Standard Edition PLUS special modules, which provide command-line interface. Using the Professional Edition you will be able to call XML Converter strictly from your own application, with no user interface, allowing you to convert Data Source to XML in batch mode.
What the special
modules are included in Professional Edition?
Converter Standard Edition, which includes software with GUI (graphical user
executable module that runs within the console window or DOS-batch command file
Editor freeware convenient XML/XSD Editor.
The XML Converter Standard Edition is a data converting software lets the user to interactively create a data transformation. It allows you to use XML documents by exporting source data into XML file. XML Converter is a visual mapping and conversion tool, which manages all dialects of XML such as DTD(document type definition), XSD(XML Schema Definition), and XML formats. It is used for quickly building application integration solutions. It will allow you to map and integrate some types of data to XML document in a user-friendly graphical mode (GUI).
XML Converter Professional Edition executable module has the following command-line interface:
XMLConverterCmd -s[SourceFileName]
Command-line arguments
XMLConverterCmd can accept quite a few command-line arguments. Many of these
arguments can be omitted and XMLConverterCmd can use default values instead of
them. XMLConverterCmd expects command line arguments to be preceded by the
"-" (dash) as normally used by DOS programs. Also you can use a
special configuration file default.cfg for defining and sending your parameters
to XMLConverterCmd.exe. If you define arguments in command-line then their
values will have a high priority than the values have been defined in
There is a description of some XML Converter command-line arguments:
A Name of Data Source file with full path like:
A Name or a number of spreadsheet or table, which belongs to your Data Source
Default is empty string
If you decide to define the [SourceTableName/or Number] argument as a number of
table/spreadsheet you have to put this parameter after [SourceFileName]
arguments. Otherwise, if [SourceTableName/or Number] argument is name of
table/spreadsheet and contents spaces inside you must enclose it in "[
]" brackets:
XMLConverterCmd.exe -rXLS -sC:\MyDir\MyBook.xls -n[First sheet 10]
Also you can leave this argument empty. It means XML Converter will generate one
common xml output file where data from all of your Data Source's
spreadsheets/tables will be stored. In this case you can create your own XML
database. This software gives you ability to generate an output as a set of XML
The Mapping method determines how each Source data column is mapped when a XML
document is saved. This argument should be omitted when TargetTypeName is not
e - Map out as Element
a - Map out as Attribute
r - Map out as Row Content Default is e
Argument is replying to question: "Would you like to accompany your XML
document with a template XSL style-sheet?" This argument should be omitted
when TargetTypeName is not xml.
no Default is no
If you want to get one XML file generated from all of "MyBook.xls"
spreadsheets you can use the signature:
XMLConverterCmd.exe -sC:\MyDir\MyBook.xls -n
For this case final "MyBook.xml" file will be saved in directory
"C:\MyDir\" and will content data from all spreadsheets. Also, this
file will have special tags, such as "workbook",
"worksheet", "row", "field column=""",
which allow you to directly access and read the XML file by using DOM or SAX
The XMLConverterCmd.exe returns error codes:
0 - Ok
1 - Syntax error in command line
2 - Source file does not exist
3 - Source table does not exist
4 - Can't open source file
5 - Can't create XML file
6 - Error of XSL-template creating
7 - Can't create XSD file
8 - Error of DTD creating
9 - Can't connect to data
10 - Can't read data format
11 - Error of TrasX-Schema creating
12 - Error in "micro" - module
13 - Target file is not created
If you want to get one XML file generated from all of "MyBook.xls"
spreadsheets you can use the signature:
XMLConverterCmd.exe -sC:\\MyDir\\MyBook.xls -n
For this case final "MyBook.xml" file will be saved in directory
"C:\MyDir\" and will content data from all spreadsheets. Also, this
file will have special tags, such as "workbook",
"worksheet", "row", "field column=""",
which allow you to directly access and read the XML file by using DOM or SAX
Also XMLConverterCmd supports ErrorLevel DOS variable. When using a dos batch
file to execute XMLConverterCmd.exe, how do you go about error handling? There
is the ErrorLevel variable being passed back to the batch file that can be
interrogated to determine successful/unsuccessful completion of XML Converter
Cmd. To try the functionality you should have a .bat file like the following:
@Echo Off
goto %errorlevel%
echo Ok
goto end
echo Syntax error in command line
goto end
echo Source file does not exist
goto end
XMLConverterCMD.err file
When XMLConverterCmd.exe interrupts its execution the special file
XMLConverterCmd.err will be created where error reports are stored. This error
message file contains both error numbers and their associated text messages. The
error report is accompanied by the date and time when it occurred. Since the
error message file created with XMLConverterCmd is a binary text file it can be
accessed by any text editor.
Using this tool, you can DOC to XML, DOC to DTD, DOC to XSD, Text to XML, Text to DTD.

The record features short groovy versions of mid 60s pop tunes, plus a few instrumentals by McCallum, Barnum, and Axelrod – all done in a way that's half jaunty, and half tinged with the darkness of Axelrod's later work for Capitol.

One of the great things about being a reporter for The Daily Star is the travel.
Although I'm still waiting to be sent to cover the Mint 400 motorcycle race in Las Vegas or at least the Kentucky Derby, I do get to visit great little communities such as Davenport, Delhi, Laurens, Milford, Morris, Schenevus and Stamford.
And, of course, Franklin.
It wasn't long ago that I spent time in Franklin on a story about the town's alcohol sales law. Arriving about a half-hour early for my interview, I had some time to walk the streets.
With its old homes, churches and cemetery, it's not hard to imagine Franklin the way it looked 100 years ago. The people are pretty nice, too.
But my last few visits to Franklin were under some sad circumstances.
I was there because Cpl. Nick Uzenski would never get to walk those streets again.
A recon Marine and Franklin Central School graduate, Uzenski was killed in southern Afghanistan fighting insurgents.
In talking with Uzenski's friends and family and Franklin community members, a vivid portrait of the 21-year-old emerged.
The one thing that struck me was the consistency of their accounts. Whether it was the Marines who commanded him, his classmates, his varsity basketball teammates and coach, a former boss or his family, all used many of the same words to describe the Marine.
It always seems the best and brightest among us get killed in war while fighting for American ideals and principles. It may be that, in our remembrances, we elevate some of the dead beyond what they were in life. But I am sure that didn't happen with Uzenski.
Sometimes government really does listen to the people.
Three years ago, the state Department of Environmental Conservation enacted emergency regulations on the use of baitfish to deal with an emerging fish disease known as viral hemorrhagic septicemia.
The rules mandated that all commercially sold baitfish be certified as disease-free. Fish sold by bait shops are to be accompanied by a receipt good for seven days.
What that meant for fishermen was that their baitfish could only be used for a week. They could no longer buy a batch of bait and use it for successive weekends.
That changed earlier this month.
The DEC has now authorized a 10-day period for which a baitfish receipt is valid.
Many fishermen questioned why the bait could only be kept for a week and did not agree with having to dispose of disease-free, unused bait. There aren't very many bait shops in the state, and the shops that do exist don't always keep the same hours as fishermen.
The DEC noted in a Jan. 6 media release the change was made after it receiving requests and input from anglers.
VHS has been found in Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River, Lake Erie, Conesus Lake, Skaneateles Lake, the Seneca-Cayuga canal and a private pond in Ramsonville, according to the DEC.
There have been no reports since 2007 of VHS spreading to other New York waters.

IMPCO Technologies installed a compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system as original equipment on certain 2011-2013 full size GM vans. These vans are being recalled because the electrical connector on the fuel shut off solenoid can corrode, causing the connector to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire. Both dealers and fleet operators will be performing the necessary updates to correct this concern. The corrections include: replacing the fuel shut off solenoid, fuel pump fuse, and adjusting the wiring routing.

The role of technology and institutions for growth: Danish creameries in the late nineteenth century
We consider the relative contributions of changing technology and institutions for economic growth through the investigation of a natural experiment in history: the almost simultaneous introduction of the automatic cream separator and the cooperative ownership form in the Danish dairy industry from around 1880. Using a new database of statistics from creameries and the tool of stochastic frontier analysis, we find that both institutions and technology were important for the success of the Danish dairy industry and, by implication, the growth and early development of the Danish economy.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

This item may be Check for Availability This title in other editionsThe Colossus: And Other Poemsby Sylvia Plath
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With this startling, exhilarating book of poems, which was first published in 1960, Sylvia Plath burst into literature with spectacular force. In such classics as "The Beekeeper's Daughter," "The Disquieting Muses," "I Want, I Want," and "Full Fathom Five," she writes about sows and skeletons, fathers and suicides, about the noisy imperatives of life and the chilly hunger for death. Graceful in their craftsmanship, wonderfully original in their imagery, and presenting layer after layer of meaning, the forty poems in The Colossus are early artifacts of genius that still possess the power to move, delight, and shock.
From the Trade Paperback edition. About the AuthorSylvia Plath was born in 1932 in Massachusetts. She began publishing poems and stories
as a teenager and by the time she entered Smith College had won several poetry prizes. She was a Fulbright Scholar in Cambridge, England, and married British poet Ted Hughes in London in 1956. The young couple moved to the States, where Plath became an instructor at Smith College, and had two children. Later, they moved back to England, where Plath continued writing poetry and wrote The Bell Jar, which was first published under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas in England in 1963. On February 11, 1963, Plath committed suicide. The Bell Jar was first published under her own name in the United States by Harper & Row in 1971, despite the protests of Plath's family. Plath's Collected Poems, published posthumously in 1981, won the Pulitzer Prize. From the Trade Paperback edition.

At a point when this country is deeply divided on the best path to move forward it's fitting that the national pastime is celebrating 40 years of ideological division and unresolved debate in the batter's box.
This season marks the 40th anniversary of the designated hitter, a commemoration of four decades of Major League Baseball being a game divided against itself. The DH is baseball's 38th parallel, bifurcating the American League and National League.
How is that in the 40 years since the first DH in major league history, Ron Blomberg of the New York Yankees, strode to the plate to face Luis Tiant on a wind-whipped day at Fenway Park on April 6, 1973, that we have a unified Germany and a disunited set of baseball playing rules?
It's time baseball's Cold War ended and the game was placed on a level playing field. With the move of the Houston Astros to the American League this season, putting 15 teams in each league and necessitating near daily interleague play, the National League needs to adopt the DH.
If commissioner Bud Selig wants to cement his legacy as an agent of change and innovation for MLB, then he should usher in this uniformity to the playing rules.
This suggestion is anathema to fans of the senior circuit and traditionalists who rhapsodize over the double switch, well-placed sacrifice bunts, and the strategic permutations that are part of the DNA of National League baseball. But NL baseball, while entertaining, quirky, and the producer of the last three World Series winners, is the steam engine to a turbocharged V-6.
Like every other sport, baseball has evolved into a highly specialized endeavor. Pitchers should pitch and hitters should hit. I don't want to watch Tom Brady tackle, and I don't want to watch Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers swing a bat (more on the Dodgers ace later).
Baseball is the only one of the major North American team sports that has separate rules for separate leagues. Imagine if the NBA made the 3-pointer legal in the Eastern Conference, but not the Western Conference? It would be ludicrous.
Having the DH in just the American League was a compromise of convenience from the beginning.
Concerned about sagging attendance, American League owners pushed for the DH. On Jan. 11, 1973, commissioner Bowie Kuhn broke a stalemate between the 12 AL teams and the 12 NL teams, which were deadlocked on implementing the DH for three seasons on an experimental basis.
The American League would. The National League would not.
"I hope it works," Kuhn said that day, according to a New York Times account. "I would have preferred that both leagues did it. But if it's successful in one, then I hope the National follows suit."
National League president Charles S. Feeney said, "We like the game the way it is."
Those positions and quotes — like the rules dichotomy — have stood the test of time.
The DH wasn't allowed in the World Series until 1976. From 1976 to 1985 baseball had the absurd practice of using the DH in all World Series games in even-numbered years and banning it completely in odd-numbered years.
Since 1986, World Series games have been played by AL rules in AL parks and NL rules in NL parks. The same format has been used since the adoption of interleague play.
A soft opening for making the DH standard practice would be mandating its use in NL parks during interleague play.
The novelty of interleague play has worn off. One way to invigorate it would be to play with American League rules in National League parks and National League rules in American League venues, giving fans an opportunity to experience live how the other half lives.
Opponents of the DH would argue that uniformity could be brought to baseball by the DH's demise. MLB has threatened this in the past, but it's not going to happen.
The Major League Baseball Players Association never will allow the abolition of the DH, a tool that allows players to stay in the game longer and drives up player salaries. They would rather agree to a salary cap — the most heretical words in the Gospel of Marvin Miller — first.
Plus, the DH is a winning proposition for players, owners, and managers. A team like the Red Sox gets to keep David Ortiz as the face of the franchise and a sorely needed good-will ambassador.
Ortiz doesn't get squeezed financially the same way aging NFL players have this offseason.
Managers, second-guessed by fans about whether they should have had Cheerios or Chex for breakfast, have fewer decisions that can be derided and dissected because they don't have to worry about pinch hitting for a pitcher in a crucial situation. Continued...

Jaws 2 Reviews
Antagony & Ecstasy
Nowhere near as good as the first, and lacks the traces of true stupidity that make the latter two fun bad movies.

Rather redundant, rather biting. What, fish again?! Still, not a bad sequel.
| Original Score: 3/5
Roy Scheider is the only redeeming quality of this sequel.

Fantastica Daily
A vastly underrated sequel with plenty of shocks and nail-biting tension. Not quite up to the original, but still loads of fun.
| Original Score: 4/5
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
The first of three crummy sequels unworthy of the original.

Housing for Nikon Coolpix 995 Digital Camera |
- camera not included - |
The Nikon Coolpix 995 digital camera allows the nicest installation we have done for this popular camera series. The camera flash is blocked by the underwater housing, but a bulkhead is included to allow use of a sync cord with any TTL SubStrobe. A deflector included in the housing also allows any Ikelite TTL SubStrobe to be triggered by our wireless TTL Slave Sensors. The strobe must be in the open position to utilize the sensor window that allows the Coolpix 995 to provide automatic flash with TTL strobes. This window is on the pop up strobe of the camera. Some housings block this window and/or do not allow the flash to open when installed in their housing. This limits any flash use to manual opertion. The Ikelite housing allows TTL flash to be operated by a sync cord or our wireless TTL Slave Sensors. Older SubStrobes require modification if the strobes were made before 6/1/01. Optional mount for Nikonos strobes is available. The housing is molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate and operates safely to 200 feet. The Release Handle system allows easy attachment and removal of SubStrobe mounting arms at the touch of a button. Complete housing and camera weighs less than 9 pounds. Controls are provided for every camera function, and removable external UR-Pro filter is included. The optional Nikon wide angle and fisheye lenses do not operate in this housing, but the special underwater wide angle lenses from Inon and Sea & Sea can be utilized. Click here for information. Housing measures 8" wide including knobs; 12" wide with the removable handle bar attached; 8" high including the removable base; and 7" deep including port. Some housings position the monitor at a 45 degree angle which makes it difficult to shoot vertical photographs, and difficult to see information and images on the monitor in bright light or shallow water situations. |

Simple, nourishing food.
Posted on 03 / 21 / 2013First time at Menu Verde. It is self-service style. Two of the three main courses were vegan, and the staff clearly understood what vegan food is.
The food was nourishing, tasty and incredibly good value.
Would recommend if you are in Coimbra.
I am not sure if the staff speak English, I speak Portuguese, but 'Vegan' is generally understood to mean Vegan.
Pros: Vegan options, Helpful staff, Good valueCons: Location - within a shopping mall

HURRICANE MAYOR Scott Edwards can never be accused of not supporting the high school teams in his town.
Edwards was asked by game officials to leave last week's Hurricane girls basketball game.
The Redskins were playing South Charleston and Edwards was seated a few rows behind the South Charleston bench.
The Black Eagles coaches spoke with the officials during a break in the action. They went to the school administrator at the game who spoke briefly with Edwards.
After a few moments Edwards got up and left the game.

University (5-0), ranked seventh, defeated top-ranked Morgantown 49-41 and second-ranked Wheeling Park 67-44 last week.

Greenbrier East and Princeton are also undefeated at 5-0.

This study is the first to estimate the current market value of the care provided by unpaid family members and friends to ill and disabled adults. ($196 billion in 1997. Recent studies have put this figure at $375 billion for 2007.) This study derived national prevalence of caregiving figures using data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH). To determine the hours of care provided per caregiver, the SIPP, the NSFH, the Health Interview Survey (HIS), and the National Long-Term Care Survey (NLTCS) were used. In addition to revealing the substantial contribution caregivers make to long-term care, this survey also provides one methodology for how to use national data sets to derive estimates of caregiving prevalence and the amount the care provided.

Tuesday's brief ceremony ended the frenzied pursuit of Wiggins, who averaged 23.4 points and 11.2 rebounds per game this season.
Rather than turn his announcement into a spectacle, Wiggins wanted a private signing ceremony where he attends classes at St. Joseph's Central Catholic High School in Huntington.
"I didn't really want to open it up to the public,'' he said. "I knew it would be jam-packed in here. I wanted people who appreciated me and people I appreciate to be here watching me. I wanted a lot of people I knew.''
Initially rated as a 2014 prospect, Wiggins shot to the top of recruiting charts when he decided last October to reclassify into his original high school class of 2013. The four major recruiting services rated Wiggins as the No. 1 overall recruit.
Interest grew in recent weeks. As one fan put told Wiggins in a Twitter post, "You're driving 4 schools and 4 fan bases absolutely insane.''
Wiggins had kept quiet on his intentions. He had yet to even make a verbal commitment and delayed his signing until almost the very end - today is the deadline for recruits to sign with NCAA Division I schools.
"This is the way I like it to be done - on my own time,'' he said. "I've got a weight lifted off my shoulders. I can relax now.''
Self said Wiggins "did exactly what we said he was going to do. He told us he was going to take his time. He was going to process everything. So him taking his time wasn't a shock. I thought it was a classy, cool way to do it, when kids are seeking more attention these days.''
Wiggins' game did the talking. He has the ability to make shots from all angles and distances, blow past defenders to the basket and reach the rim at eye level. Wiggins was the recipient of this year's Gatorade Boys National Basketball Player of the Year and Naismith Foundation national awards. He has been called the best prep prospect since LeBron James.
"I'm hearing the LeBron comparison and I saw LeBron play some high school, and I'm not sure that's a fair comparison to anyone,'' Self said. "But from a pure athletic ability, he [Wiggins] is one of the most pure athletes the college game has had for a while.''
Wiggins participated in several postseason all-star games, most recently playing for the World Select Team at the Nike Hoop Summit April 20 in Portland, Ore.
Wiggins cited fatigue from the Oregon trip for canceling scheduled visits from Self, North Carolina coach Roy Williams and Florida State's Leonard Hamilton. Wiggins instead talked to them by phone. Kentucky coach John Calipari had visited Wiggins in Huntington on March 28.
"When he announced it, it wasn't the one I thought he would pick,'' said Wiggins' high school coach, Rob Fulford, who felt the player would choose Florida State. "But I wasn't surprised. All four have advantages over the others in some way.''
Wiggins said he planned to relax at home and train with his brothers and some friends during the next few months. Self said he's not sure when Wiggins will arrive in Lawrence because of the possibility of Wiggins' involvement in some Canadian national teams over the summer.

Answering a Reporter's "Tricky" Questions (Part 1)
During interviews, reporters often ask questions that seem easy to answer, yet hold potential traps; others may appear to present you with no choice but to give a reply that you don't want to give. By anticipating and preparing for these questions, you can keep the focus of the media interview where you want it—on the key messages about your work.
In the last issue of Leaders' Link, we considered two tricky questions that you can expect from reporters, and strategies for responding to them. Here are two more.
The "Loaded Preface" Question
This type of inquiry presents opinion or incorrect information as if it's factual, and encourages you (explicitly or implicitly) to agree. "It's widely accepted that mammograms don't provide significant benefits to women under 50. In light of this, should women younger than 50 avoid screening?" If you allow the underlying assumption to go unchallenged, it may appear that you're endorsing it.
As politely as possible, correct the record immediately, and transition to one of the key messages you've prepared: "Some sources have suggested that about mammograms, but it isn't widely accepted by any means. It's important for women of all ages to know they should make the screening choices that are right for them."
The "A or B" Question
This question consists of two alternatives, typically forcing you to choose between extremes: "Will this project help to halt the spread of HIV among IV drug users in the community, or could we spend this money better elsewhere?" It's a question that seems to narrow your options—yet, in most cases, neither option reflects the truth.
Override the two choices, and transition to a key message: "I wouldn't agree with either of your assumptions. However, I do believe that by reducing the spread of HIV among IV drug users in the area, the project will serve our community—not only by saving treatment funds, but by reducing human suffering."
When you directly confront the assumptions posed by either of these questions, you'll find it easier to state your case. And by approaching your answer as a teaching opportunity, you increase the likelihood that the audience will perceive your words as well-reasoned and persuasive.

Old-Age Mortality in Germany prior to and after Reunification
Date received: | 05 Jun 2000 |
Date published: | 12 Jul 2000 |
Word count: | 5861 |
Keywords: | German reunification, Germany, life expectancy, mortality, oldest-old |
DOI: | 10.4054/DemRes.2000.3.1 |
Recent trends in German life expectancy show a considerable increase. Most of this increase has resulted from decreasing mortality at older ages. Patterns of oldest old mortality (ages 80+) differed significantly between men and women as well as between East and West Germany.
While West German oldest old mortality decreased since the mid 1970s, comparable decreases in East Germany did not become evident until the late 1980s. Yet, the East German mortality decline accelerated after German reunification in 1990, particularly among East German females, attesting to the plasticity of human life expectancy and the importance of late life events. Medical care, individual economic resources and life-style factors are discussed as potential determinants of the decline in old age mortality in Germany.

Yeah, I have tried.

Yeah, I have tried.
Not that impressive. U r better off getting phenibut.
My bud was in a crazy accident with an injury to the spine. Since then he has not been able to sleep a whole night on some occasions without taking something. I gave him some X-Dreams to try and he said it allowed him to sleep a full night and if he woke up, he could go to the washroom and fall straight back to sleep on those occassions whereas before he would be up all night.....
I guess it all depends on the person, the reason for not being able to sleep etc
Yeah, these things are notoriously personal.
My opinion is they are selective to the user. If you want it to work it will. It has a feel to them but they wont knock you out standing up. I use them when I do want to sleep good but If I have to I can get up and function with out feeling like I cant operate my car or machinery. Although I guess if you pounded out a handful it might be different I dont know. I do notice a longer sleep night on them.
Definitely selective to the user. But it doesn't matter either way because the new formula will be here within weeks . There will be plenty of reviews going on don't you worry .
As a side note the old X-Dream, although expensive (the main ingredient NADA was expensive as a raw material) worked wonders on me. It seemed to have a 50-75% success rate which is why we moved on. The main problem I believe was dosage. It was already expensive and we couldn't make the old formula cost effective at high dosages.
Ultradrol Log: http://anabolicminds.com/forum/cycle...pressured.html
I went up to 6 caps with the first one, not too much different then 2 or 3 caps.... but even on cap had a fairly good effect at making sleep deep and restful without the morning grogginess. neurobalance was absolutely great for a relaxation you could feel, but would sometimmes feel loopy in the morning. I have faith that this new one will be able to be great at both aspects.... cant wait to give it a whirl.
Slept very well at just 2 caps... never needed to increase dosage. I do not respond to phenibut if thats any comparison. I liked this product, but the price kept me from buying it again since my girl decided she liked it too. Looking forward to the new version.
IBE focused on the reformulation of several products, with X-Dreams being one of them. Now that it is finally done and out for the public to purchase, we are now creeping our way back to earlier reforms. I know there are going to be some HUGE things that will come out this year (Shhhh, I know secrets). Once more information is received on my part, I will update everyone.
Ooh! Sounds exciting!!! Can't wait!!

Talladaga Nat'l Forest / Coleman Lake Campground
[ 8/10 ]
This is a very nice campground. It is very clean and well maintained. The sites are a very comfortable size and private. It's a good place to go and relax. The only two things I could think of that would make it a 10 campground is the need for a playground for the kids and more than 2 sites with full hook up. I think they would see a lot more business if it had sewage on their sites.
Alexander City, Alabama
Wind Creek State Park
[ 8/10 ]
We camped at Wind Creek in April. We liked the campground very much. It was clean and very roomy. The staff were helpful with any questions we might have. The only reason they didn't get a perfect "10" is the fact that they need to install more full hookup sites. Everything else we couldn't complain about. It is well worth your trip down to check them out.

Really, you can't beat the price. It is a great, lightweight case. I sent hubs back to buy two more.
I put my Zaggmate Keyboard in it when it is not in use. The case the keyboard is in is designed to clamshell onto the iPad but the rubbery case I have on the back would need to be removed. Too much trouble to take apart.
I've been working on the keyboard a lot this week. In the next few posts, I will report how I feel about this iPad accessory
