Douglas Laboratories Basic Preventive 5 Iron-Free - 180 Tablets
Douglas Laboratories Basic Preventive 5 Iron-Free is a comprehensive, highly concentrated vitamin-mineral-trace element supplement containing more than 30 essential nutritional ingredients. Basic Preventive 5 is more than just another multivitamin supplement. It is a potent antioxidant formula with natural beta-carotene (from D. salina) and natural vitamin E; a high-potency B-complex supplement; a significant source of bioavailable calcium and magnesium; and a full-spectrum trace element supplement. Basic Preventive 5 uses only the purest, most hypoallergenic ingredients and contains no yeast; corn; wheat; sugar or other sweeteners; artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
FunctionsStudies show that a high percentage of adults and children in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management and prevention of chronic diseases. Basic Preventive 5 has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements without danger of toxic build-up and without side effects. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety. Beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and B-complex vitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, energy production and maintenance of healthy blood cells, nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms, such as amino acid chelates and other scientifically validated and clinically superior forms. The unique inert cellulose tablet coating consistently disintegrates rapidly for better nutrient absorption. Beta-carotene is added to the coating to help preserve nutrient activity and naturally colors each tablet pink.
Indications Basic Preventive 5 is ideal for individuals with vitamin, mineral and trace element deficiencies due to sub-optimal dietary intake, age, and life style habits. For many individuals, Basic Preventive is the only daily nutritional supplement and antioxidant formula they need to take.

In your example, 'the butter is getting low' means there is not much butter left. There is no context to make you think of price.
However, if your friend had recently been discussing buying company shares and then said, Coca cola shares are getting low, you could probably assume they are referring to the price of the shares.

A 42-year-old woman, who did not want to be named, worked with Wendy, who was in her early 50s, for 10 years at the London Probation Trust.
She said: "Most people are actually still in shock at what's happened.
"She was a woman with a good heart and soul. She was a really beautiful person.
"She would always help you and listen to you - nothing was too much trouble.
"She was helpful, kind, loving and considerate. You couldn't say a bad word about her."
Flowers and tributes been left for Wendy at Petts Wood station.

And Patricia Edwards added: "Dear Wendy, Rest in Peace. Such a sudden, sad loss."
Meanwhile CP Beckenham supervisors said: "For a woman with a beautiful soul, you will now be free of your torment.

I know this sounds insensitive and is going to receive a thumbs down, but why leave others with the traumatisation for months if not years, of witnessing these kind of incidents? If it was because it was a cry for help, it is still an unfair thing to do, whichever way you look at it.

It's not going to be a very merry Christmas for one suspected shoplifted who attempted to take down an off-duty deputy working in a valley Walmart store.
The suspect took off running and just like Santa, took to the roof to make his getaway, but he didn't make it very far.
It was just before 5 a.m. Thursday when Andrew Fasbender heard something on his roof. When he stepped outside to walk his dog, his house was surrounded by Mesa Police officers.
"Is all they told me was watch out for a guy running with full tattoos, no shirt and he's been tasered already," he said.
By the time he got around the block, officers had the man in custody -- a suspected shoplifter that was eluding the law by jumping onto people's homes and running through back yards.
"The policeman knocked on my door just to basically explain why they were in my yard.. that's about it.. he wouldn't tell me anything that had happened," said Randy Larson.
According to Mesa Police, it all started at the Walmart near Dobson and Rio Salado. The shoplifter was approached by an off-duty deputy. The suspect threw a bicycle in the deputy's direction and was tased before taking off.
Officers were called in as back up and used good old fashioned police work to catch the guy.
"We have no K9 dogs to help us, no helicopter to help us, so it's hard to keep track of him.. the more units, the better, so we can surround him and start converging on him," said Sgt. William Abbiatti.
The suspect, who complained of a sore shoulder, faces several charges, including shoplifting and assaulting an officer.
A spokesperson for Mesa Police says the off-duty deputy involved in this incident suffered a hurt knee and that injury was getting checked out.
The suspect's name was not released.


text: 14 Horribly Tacky Cake Toppers by POPSUGAR Food 4/25/08 21 Reactions 96 Shares Print 20 75 1 0 0 First of all, let me start by saying I'm really sorry if you used any of these cake toppers at your wedding. Maybe I just don't get your humor. Secondly, let me add to that by saying these are some truly tacky cake toppers. From mermice — yes mermaid + mice = mermice! — to fighting couples, I think I can guarantee that you won't find these cake toppers on any 2008 trends list. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Yes you may be having a tropical themed wedding, but really it doesn't get a lot tackier than bride and groom make-out club on a tropical island ($56.95) cake topper. 1 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Do you really want to start your marriage off with a cake topper that shows everyone how angry you are at each other ($14.95). If you're a couple who fights all the time, maybe you should try couple's therapy first? 2 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Geeksugar pointed out this tacky cellphone topper ($19.95), and maybe they'd work if you were a long-distance couple, but if you'd rather talk to other folks than your sweetie, maybe a wedding isn't for you. 3 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This loving hand cake topper totally creeps me out. I know it's supposed to signify love, but severed hands just really weird me out. 4 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'll deal with your love of mice, and love of mermaids. But mermice? What exactly does a mermice cake topper tell your guests? 6 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This year, one of the biggest trends is to drape your cake in an over-the-top crown ($59). It sounds fun, but remember, you're the princess that day, not the cake. 6 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Maybe the lace represents one of you, and the motorcycle the other, but I think this motorcycle wedding cake topper ($46.95) is downright tacky. It's not so much that it's a motorcycle, it's that it's a motorcycle in a field of lace. If you're both into motorcycles, get a groom's cake shaped in a motorcycle, or just go for a motorcycle-couple topper and quit trying to combine elegance and motorcycle at the same time. 7 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While I think custom cake toppers are a neat idea, I highly recommend thinking twice about what you have done. While this may have fit Bobby and Tracy's personalities well, I can't imagine what my mom would say over this cake topper. 8 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I understand a Halloween inspired wedding, and I'll even go as far as to say I can see certain folks who might want a skeleton cake topper. However, a cake topper with french kissing skeletons ($75), that I just can't understand. 9 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ladies, do you seriously want this humorously tacky Still Shopping ($48) cake topper? Don't forget this is supposed to be a once in a lifetime thing! 11 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I fully stand behind you if you're both horse lovers and want to use horses as your cake topper. However, if you want to use this entwined horses cake topper ($129), I don't know if we can be friends anymore. 11 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gentlemen, do you want the whole world to know that you only entered into this wedding because you've given up all hope ($25)? 12 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Nothing says I love you like a cute deer who's about to get himself shot on your wedding cake. 13 / 14 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Maybe this will work if you get married at the circus, but last time I checked, a clown wedding cake topper ($175) is the epitome of tacky.

Hampshire school announces new head of sport
2:00pm Friday 21st March 2014 in News By Lauren Howard, Reporter
HAMPSHIRE Collegiate School has announced the addition of their new head of sport.
Andrew Egford joined the school at the start of the spring term and his new duties include overseeing all areas of sport and the PE curriculum.
Mr Egford said: "My philosophy is that all pupils should find an interest for life-long participation in sport by the time they leave HCS. This means offering a full and broad experience, with high quality coaching, that enables pupils to develop at their own rate.
"I aim to increase participation levels in golf, tennis, trampoline, and orienteering, as well as continuing with the development of the School's already strong team sports of rugby, netball, cricket and hockey. I am also looking to establish an Australian rugby exchange programme for our senior school pupils."
One a community rugby coach with Plymouth Albion RFC, Pontypool RFC and Exeter Chiefs RFC, Mr Egford has been teaching since 2007 and joined HCS after working at a boarding school in Tavistock in Devon.

October 1, 2012
Dear Colleague,
In the weeks ahead, we again have an opportunity to help those in need - locally, statewide, nationally and worldwide - through our participation in the annual Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign (CVC).
Last year, the Old Dominion University community raised more than $113,000. This was an outstanding show of support, which was appreciated and needed by the organizations and agencies that depend on these donations - as well as the thousands of people that they, in turn, help. We look forward to another successful campaign.
The theme for the 2012 campaign is "Virginia is for Givers." When we give from the heart to a worthwhile cause, we have given something of ourselves and shown that we truly care, which is a good feeling.
In the eloquent words of poet Maya Angelou, "When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed."
Let us all work together to share and share in the blessings this year.
Campaign volunteers continue to encourage first-timers to join ODU's many regular donors in supporting the CVC charities. Please visit the campaign website at http://cvc.vipnet.org/ for more information and http://cvc.vipnet.org/donors/directorylist.htm for the list of more than 1,300 local, state, national and international organizations that can benefit from your support.
A volunteer from your office or department will soon provide you with a CVC pledge card, and I would ask that you consider making a contribution this year, in whatever amount you can afford. You may designate your donation to a specific charity, or to multiple organizations and agencies.
When we give from the heart, we offer both help and hope to those in need. The ODU community has earned a reputation over the years for its generosity and caring, and I am sure that this proud tradition will continue through the 2012 campaign. I thank you in advance for your support of this important statewide effort.
John R. Broderick

I bought these for my son for Boy Scout outings and hiking trips and they work really well. They are light weight and can easily be collapsed to put in his backpack. They are worth the money as he had a much less expensive pair and they broke the first time he used them. Great buy!

New York Community Bank is headquartered in Westbury and is the 5th largest bank in the state of New York. It is also the 39th largest bank in the nation. It was established in 1859 and as of June of 2014, it had grown to 2,123 employees at 248 locations. New York Community Bank has a A+ health rating.
Sadly I agree with the other two customers. I have been with Ohio Savings for many years. They were bought by New York Community Bank and the service has been terrible. I don't need to be redundant, but I have had numerous problems in terms of freezing my account when traveling, not being made aware of processing times, non-consumer-friendly ATM'a and others.
I will definitely be changing banks ASAP!
I come to NYCB via their acquisition of Penn Federal Savings. I only have a savings account but the bank has always been helpful. They refunded wire fees when it was clear I didn't know the policies etc. Branch folks are always very friendly whether in person or on phone. I started with PennFSB in 2000.
I have had a checking account with Ohio Savings for over 25 years. I have never had an issue until the last 2 years. First issue: about 2 years ago, a check for $400 deposited to my account bounced. They removed the $400, but I noticed that my "available balance" was missing an additional $400. When I inquired, I was informed that "that is just a policy". When I asked why they were holding $400 of MY OWN money (after charging me a $36 fee), they could not give me an answer. They did ask "did you need the funds?" By unusual circumstance, the missing $400 luckily did not cause any of my checks to bounce. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, one was not available and I was told I would be contacted, but I never heard from anyone.
8 days ago, I deposited a personal check for $8000. A paycheck also was auto-deposited, and a few items were debited, leaving me an average of $8800. 5 business days later I transferred $4500 to another account. No problem. At 6 business days, I transferred $1000 to a credit card. The next day, I charged $970 on my debit card to the car dealer. The next day, my card was denied, and I looked up my account, and it said "available balance - $0". I inquire. The person says, "I'm thinking what happened is sometimes a business will request double the amount to be held in the account. It looks like maybe that happened with the $970." I said, "What, I've never heard of that". the response was, "Oh, yes, sometimes vendors will do that. It should come off in a couple days". The next day, I look at my account, and the $1000 has been returned and $36 charged. I inquire. I'm then told that deposits over $5000 take 7 days to clear, and it will be available at midnight tonight. Under that it's only 3 days. I say, "o.k., let's count. 7 days would have been yesterday. Why did the $970 clear, but the $1000 did not? And how am I to know of this difference in policy?" I was told I should have been able to tell by the amount available. But the amount available was different each time, sometimes $3000 of that 8 was available. And why was I told that story about the double holding when I was asking yesterday? And why was I able to transfer $4500 of that money right away?
I told them I was extremely upset over this. I asked why was my $500 overdraft not enacted? I was told because it wasn't really an overdraft (but apparently STILL warranted a RETURN FEE). I asked if it could be refunded as a courtesy, and was told no, since THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE AND I WAS AFFORDED THAT COURTESY BEFORE. Yes, this was the second incident of them witholding a payment transfer and then charging me for it. So I'm done. I will be looking for another bank.
So recently Ohio Savings changed it's automated system to commune with NY Community Bank. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. DEFINITELY not easy to navigate through the system! Then I made a purchase in another state and instead of calling me to make sure of the transactions, they FROZE my account WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION. Seriously? What another nightmare. Investigating other banking options after being a loyal customer for over 25 years.
The Texas Ratio is an indicator of how much capital a bank has available compared to the total value of loans considered at risk. As of June 30, 2014 New York Community Bank had $304.62 million in non-current loans and owned real-estate with $5.58 billion in equity and loan loss allowances on hand to cover it. This gives New York Community Bank a Texas Ratio of 5.46% which is excellent. Any bank with a Texas Ratio near or greater than 100% is considered at risk.
The Texas Ratio for New York Community Bank decreased dramatically from 9.09% as of June 30, 2013 to 5.46% as of June 30, 2014, resulting in a positive change of 39.91%.This indicates that the balance sheet and financial strength for New York Community Bank has improved dramatically in recent periods.
In the past year, New York Community Bank has increased its total deposits by $1.62 billion, resulting in 7% growth for the year. A strong track record of growth is an indicator of consumer confidence and the bank's ability to strengthen its balance sheet. The growth New York Community Bank has shown is excellent.
Both FDIC and NCUA consider capitalization levels of banks and credit unions to be of high importance. Higher capitalization allows for a greater buffer when cover loans that may fail in the future. New York Community Bank has $44.84 billion in assets with $5.58 billion in equity, resulting in a capitalization level of 12.44%, which is excellent.

EUREKA, Ill -- Eureka residents saw a strange sight moving slowly through their town Wednesday.
A house was moved from Darst Street out to a new location in the country.
Patty Jones bought the house after hearing it was set to be torn down to build a new parking lot.
The house belonged to the Eureka hospital who used it for many years as a health department.
Jones says moving a home costs between $50,000 and $60,000, and is much cheaper than building from scratch.
"A stick home will run you, even just a homeaway home, I checked this out. It would run you at least $120,000 - $175,000 for a three bedroom home with a full basement," Jones said.
Jones says her and her husband are planning to rent the house. They are hoping to have a new family in the home in about a month.

Plot: The year is 2028. For years, cutting edge robotics company OmniCorp has been supplying the military with drones for use overseas, though their repeated attempts to bring the technology to the U.S. has meet with fierce resistance. When upstanding Detroit cop Alex Murphy is grievously wounded in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance to innovate by transforming Murphy into a prototype half-man/half-robot crime-fighter. The company envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.

All About "soups" and "healthy"
Butternut Bisque with Buttered Nuts
Come fall, winter squash are everywhere in farmer's markets and grocery stores, stacked everywhere like an odd assortment of mutant pumpkins. Don't be daunted: pear-shaped butternuts, the best of these vitamin-packed powerhouses, are dense-fleshed and enticingly sweet--plus, they keep well and are available long after summer's bounty has dwindled. This velvety-rich soup gets added sweetness from a bit of maple syrup, and buttery crunch from toasted pecans. Delicious.Read More

This is a warming, hearty, and simple recipe that turns all your odds and end of winter vegetables into a giant pot of nourishing soup.

As well as high-information people who have the time.
"Only" is to strong, but certainly these are the people who spend time in the trenches, get volunteered as precinct captains, sometimes go to district meetings and/or feel the civic duty to participate.
You could also say these are the people paying attention six months out from the election. The full-primary electorate is a larger pool, which has to mean lower-intensity, and lower percentage of activists. Thus, Romanoff benefits more in the caucus because he has nurtured that audience a good many years, and the Party activists don't like the fact that Governor Ritter ignored them to appoint someone without Party credentials.
Politicians in Colorado can't win without any party grassroots support, but the Party machinery is not all-powerful, and to win the primary means appealing to the broader audience where advertising, TV, press are more important than contacts in your political network.
The grassroots beauty-pageant showed that Bennett has sufficient support that he will probably pull in the win at the primary.

BALTIMORE -- Brian Roberts hasn't played a Major League game in more than a year, but Tuesday could finally put an end to that stretch.
Roberts is scheduled to end his 20-day rehab stint on Monday after a long battle with concussion symptoms.
If there are no setbacks, it is expected that Roberts will be activated from the 60-day disabled list and be available to the Orioles on Tuesday.
Roberts went 0-for-4 on Sunday in what was likely his last Minor League game before meeting with the Major League club during its Monday off-day.
Manager Buck Showalter was noncommittal about Roberts' immediate future.
"I don't know, we'll see," Showalter said. "As far as where he's playing and what position he's hitting and all that stuff, I haven't made that lineup out yet."
In 13 Minor League games spread between Class A Delmarva, Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk, Roberts has hit .238 with a home run and four RBIs.
Showalter was also hesitant to discuss what Roberts' return would mean for Robert Andino, who has filled in for Roberts at second base to start the 2012 season.
"There's some good options," Showalter said. "Robert has been a guy I've always felt comfortable playing anywhere."
Showalter even mentioned the outfield as a possibility for Andino, although he has played there only sparingly to this point in his career.
"I think Robert would be an above-average defender everywhere in the infield," Showalter said.
The Orioles will need to make a spot on both the 25- and 40-man rosters if Roberts returns, which could mean the end of Steve Tolleson's time in Baltimore.
Tolleson started at third base Sunday and delivered the game-tying three-run home run in the fourth before making a diving stop in the sixth that got starter Jason Hammel through his final inning.
"I knew that I was up here on borrowed time," Tolleson said. "I don't know if that's going to be the end of it. [I'm] very excited to have Brian Roberts back on this team, whether it means I'm going to Triple-A or whatever. Roberts is irreplaceable on this team, and we're excited to have him come back."
"Obviously, we're hoping that Robby joins us Tuesday," Showalter said. "We'll have a decision to make, and unlike years past, we'll be sending some people out that we'd like to keep."
O's weighing options for Saturday's starter
BALTIMORE -- The Orioles have been getting by with a four-man rotation for about two weeks, but on Saturday, the team will again be in need of a fifth starter.
Manager Buck Showalter has plenty of options to choose from.
Reliever Dana Eveland, recently signed veteran Jamie Moyer, Triple-A standout Chris Tillman, freshly assigned Miguel Gonzalez, recovering starter Zach Britton and even Jake Arrieta, who was moved to the bullpen on Saturday, are legitimate possibilities.
"We'll see," Showalter said. "We've got some depth to pick from there, if we have a need. I hope we don't have a need. Obviously we're going to need a fifth starter."
Eveland and Gonzalez, who have both performed well in long-relief roles with the Orioles, were considered for last Saturday's start but were needed out of the 'pen leading up to the weekend. Tommy Hunter was ultimately named the starter and allowed three runs in seven innings.
Tillman has posted a 4.01 ERA in 67 1/3 innings with Norfolk, and a Saturday start would come after four days rest on his current schedule.
Britton could be ready to make his return from a left shoulder impingement that has kept him on the disabled list since March. After allowing four runs on seven hits in six innings during his first start at Norfolk on June 5, he gave up three on seven hits while lasting just 4 2/3 on Sunday.
Moyer, a 49-year-old left-hander who was signed to a Minor League contract on Wednesday, threw five shutout innings in his debut with Norfolk on Saturday. He allowed only one hit and didn't walk a batter while striking out five.
Showalter said Moyer's outing could have been even stronger were it not for a pair of fielding errors made behind him, but the skipper did not offer any comment on what the start means for his future with the team.
Executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette has said that Moyer's time with Norfolk is considered an audition for the Major League club.
Worth noting
Jake Arrieta was available to pitch out of the bullpen on Sunday, manager Buck Showalter said prior to the 5-4 win in 10 innings over the Phillies. Amid rampant speculation that Arrieta would be sent down to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday to make room for Tommy Hunter, the O's instead chose to option reliever Miguel Gonzalez and move Arrieta to the bullpen. Arrieta last pitched on Friday, giving up career highs of nine runs and 11 hits in just four innings against the Phillies.
