Free agency as we know it is dead. Let us all gather 'round its desiccating corpse and offer prayers to the Angel of Arbitration – wishing for health, prosperity, and draft day magic. The top free agents due to test the market are..[scans charts and clipboards] two bat boys and a retired bullpen catcher. Those are the only people in baseball not currently signed to long, option-heavy contracts.
That isn't entirely true. The free agent class of 2014 isn't totally bereft. Why your team could be lucky enough to sign…Colby Rasmus. Or, the very good Chase Headley. A few pitchers like Max Scherzer or James Shields catch the eye but it at the plate the pickings are slim.
Except for one decidedly non-slim option. Pablo Sandoval is scheduled to become a free agent at the end of the season. Like the other top position players, injuries robbed the Panda of some effectiveness in recent years. But he remains the player most clubs will monitor during the 2014 season for all he's accomplished and all the promise in his perplexing package.
Sandoval is a unique player, a free swinging third baseman with a spotty health record and physical issues beyond his joints and tendons. The man known as the Kung Fu Panda battles his weight, fluctuating over the years and fighting a not-so-quiet battle with Giants management regarding his conditioning. Now, with free agency looming, Sandoval is putting his best foot forward for prospective employers.
Reports swirled before Spring Training began that Sandoval shed 42 pounds through off-season workouts, though the man himself was quick to downplay his actual weight loss. Reporters and fans feel Sandoval does appear quicker this spring, when he reportedly tipped the scales at around 250 pounds, a 30 pound difference from a year ago.
The physical improvements should net immediate gains. Sandoval vowed to get into better shape with playing better defense in mind. The big third baseman, who rates about average according to most defensive metrics, doesn't fault manager Bruce Bochy for using a defensive replacement in late game situations before. "He needed more defense at the time and I was out of shape." Sandoval told Andrew Baggerly of CSN Bay Area, explaining that he understood his manager's decisions.
Losing weight to play better defense is one thing but Sandoval did not stop there this off-season. Like fellow free agent to be Chase Headley, Sandoval is a switch hitter. A switch hitter with a decidedly lopsided platoon split, that is. Sandoval struggled to hit for power against lefties last season, continuing a trend stretching back to 2010. So Sandoval went to the source, working with countryman Miguel Cabrera to improve his swing from the right side of the plate.
Giants hitting coach Hensley Muellens believes Sandoval's bat speed from the right side is the best he's seen from the big man in years, while his work with Cabrera helps to refocus the 27-year old's approach against southpaws.
Cabrera dissected Sandoval's swing, cooked up game situations and quizzed him on how to break down a pitcher's weaknesses.One of his best tips?
"See if they can command the fastball in, because that tells you a lot," Sandoval said. "And early in the count, get a pitch to drive."
A new outlook and a stronger body could be a deadly combination for the Giants third baseman, who has a whole new kind of motivation heading into his walk year.
Sandoval has always been a divisive figure among Giants fans. The battles with his weight and concerns about his effort are mostly washed away in the shine of two World Series titles during his time in SF. Oddly, his best career seasons came not in the championship campaigns but the years between. Sandoval was at his most productive in 2009 and 2011, while the Giants hosted parades through San Francisco in 2010 and 2012.
There is, of course, the small matter of a World Series MVP award for Sandoval, who claimed that prize in 2012 while leading the Giants over the Tigers and one Miguel Cabrera. But hearing about Sandoval's commitment to fitness and making himself a better hitter is sure to rub some Giants fans the wrong way.
Which is understandable, if a little greedy. If Sandoval wants to test free agency at the end of the year and he feels putting up a monster platform year is the best way to maximize his payout, that's his right. Giants fans leaning towards bitterness would be well-served in admiring the production the new-look Panada stands to provide in this walk year. Not to mention all the great plays and big hits over the years to salve the wounds of a player with misaligned goals (in their collective, strawman mind.)
Galling as it might be, Giants fans are in a unique situation where they can't really be too disappointed in the Pablo Process. Maybe he didn't deliver as much as he should and maybe he frustrated fans through his five years by the Bay but the results speak very, very loudly. Loud enough to drown out even the most determined complaints.
The real concern of those who stand opposed to Sandoval's personal style should be the threat of re-signing Pablo. A player with a questionable approach and questionable fitness who already achieved his payday as well as claiming the ultimate team goal twice in his young career? That's a player I'd be very, very careful about. Not a guy I'm eager to pin my hopes and dreams against. Though the Panda has proved doubters wrong in the past…

Mellow Mushroom serves up made-to-order handcrafted gourmet pizzas and craft beers. For the past 40 years, the dough rollers have continued to dish out stone-baked pies in an eclectic, art-filled, and family-friendly environment. Each Mellow Mushroom is locally owned and operated, providing a unique vibe focused on great customer service and high-quality food.
Hand-pressed dough, homemade sauce, and a mozzarella-provolone blend make up the tasty foundation of pies from Lucky's Pizza. From there, the possibilities are virtually endless: guests can create their own inventive pizza with toppings like meatballs, banana peppers, bacon, and feta, or pick a pre-imagined specialty pizza such as a buffalo chicken or double cheeseburger. No matter what kind of pie you order, each one gets baked to perfection in Lucky's deck oven?an oven that distributes heat evenly.
Along with pizzas, guests can also fill up on calzones, wings, and bacon-ranch bread. For the ultimate pizza fan or brave soul, Lucky's holds a Supreme Challenge. Folks get a chance to finish the 16-inch Shamrock Supreme pizza, and it's mountains of pepperoni, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, veggies and more meat in just 20 minutes. The rare guest who finishes this quest will not only get their pizza refunded and a commemorative t-shirt, but also get a spot of glory on the Wall of Fame. Of course, folks can split the Shamrock Supreme with the family, albeit with a little less fanfare.
In the kitchen at Mario?s Pizza, chefs heap cheese, steak, and sun-dried tomatoes onto oversize New York?style and sicilian pizza crusts. A white pizza covered in ricotta cheese, fresh garlic, and mozzarella reminds taste buds of eating a delicious snowman, and comes in sizes ranging from 10 inches to as large as 24 inches. Baked pasta and sandwiches, such as a philly steak, round out the menu.
Gabriella's serves up a menu of customizable pizzas alongside classic Italian pastas, sandwiches, and homemade desserts. A starter of crispy calamari ($6.95) primes taste buds for entrees such as chicken marsala served with pasta and italian bread ($8.95). An 18-inch pizza arrives fresh from the oven with an array of toppings ($10.50), such as pepperoni, banana peppers, and spinach ($1.50 each), while a personal pizza ($5.25), like a studio apartment, offers the freedom to arrange toppings ($0.75 each) however you'd like within 10 inches of personal space. Diners can twist fettuccine alfredo around forks with a choice of chicken or shrimp ($8.95–$9.95) before ending meals on a sweet note with a homemade cannoli ($2.75).
Even the most inexperienced pizza architects can build-their-own slices of heaven using Marco's abundant arsenal of pizza toppings such as Italian sausage, mushrooms, pineapple, and anchovies. Scope out Marco's menu in person or try their easy online ordering system, which lets hungry web-crawlers specify the amount of cheese and sauce they'd like slapped on top of freshly baked crusts and homemade sauce. For a finishing touch, pair the edible masterpiece with a complimentary sprinkle of crust seasoning or a side of Ranch dressing. Marco's oven overseers are able to prepare pizzas in 15 minutes upon request, providing a quick solution for feeding hungry packs of ninjas, turtles, and ninja-turtle hybrids.
All of Times Square Pizza's New York–style pies begin with freshly made dough. Then, a homemade pizza sauce rides to smother any blanks of the bready canvas, followed by toppings of pepperoni, bacon, green peppers, or olives. Aside from pastas and subs, customers can also pair up with drinks such as draft beers from a full bar.

Hi, I'm Danielle. I just read a great book called Fairy Houses by Tracy Kane! It's a story about a little girl who builds a fairy house. It tells how she attracted some fairies and a lot of other animals. At the end of the book it tells you all about how you can build a fairy house and attract some fairies too.
You should only use natural things to build your house. Fairies do not like to disturb anything that is growing so you shouldn't use anything that is still growing like flowers, ferns, and leaves.
Fairy Houses (The Fairy Houses Series)
My mom helped me build these houses in our garden. I hope the fairies like them. We had a lot of fun building them and so will you. And just maybe you will see a fairy, or at least some animals visiting your home.
You can find out more about this book and see more pictures of fairy houses by going to www.fairyhouses.com

This craft is mostly for older children and adults, but younger children will love looking for tiny objects that can be placed in the molds. It should be done outside on a warm spring or summer day because the fumes from the resin are very strong.
The resin and molds used for this craft can be purchased from All Craft Supplies.
You will need to purchase Casting Craft Reusable molds #296702, Castin Craft Clear Casting Resin # 268747, and Castin Craft Mold Release #268527.
Collect tiny items that will fit in each mold. Place them in the molds to make sure they fit and don't stick out over the edge of the molds.
Some suggested items, small flowers, stones, beads, gems, feathers, seeds, candy, stickers, and sea shells.
You can find excellent directions to make these pendants on YouTube and on the package of Castin Craft Resin.
I used needle nosed pliers to bend clip-on 10 mm pendant bails so that one end hung down into the molds. I pulled out the short bottom part so that it would hang down into the molds and squeezed the top of the bails almost closed. If you can't find the right pendant bails, you can use the ends of paper clips or bent wire.
This is a fairly easy craft, but it does take some practice. The we enjoyed most was searching to things to place in the pendants.

Comments about TCP 60 Watt Incandescent Equivalent, 10 Watt, 120 Volt Dimmable LED A-19 Lamp - Perfect For Enclosed Fixtures, 5000K:
Don't know how hot it runs, as they all are in enclosed spaces on my ceilings. I do not have them on dimmers. The light is extremely bright and presumably efficient, but the color is almost an office-type hue. I got used to it. Good bulb for the price.
Just what was needed!

About Me Performance Oriented
I am a sculptor. Visibility is crucial to my being able to clearly view the work from all sides as I bring it to its final form. Until I installed these lights, the task was difficult with my having to move many little, not so bright lights from place to place to view what I was doing. These LED lights shine from above the top center of the studio and my works are flooded all around as I work. These lights are a godsend for me. Thank you for providing just what was needed.
That's why we make the process as easy as possible and pledge to never leave you in the dark when it comes to buying replacement bulbs and lighting accessories.

That sucks about WLVT, it actually had some kind of importance to the Allentown/Lehigh Valley area with some of the community shows they have. Now all that region has is just WFMZ for news and issues that apply to them. Everything else is just Philadelphia, and New Jersey with NJN.
Statement Regarding Directv
On July 13, 2005, WLVT sent Directv a letter regarding "Mandatory Carriage Election" pursuant to section 338 of the Communications Act of 1934. This letter communicated our wishes to be carried in the Philadelphia DMA by Directv. (see attachment 1)The July 13th date is significant considering Directv set an October 1st, 2005 deadline to receive any such communication regarding "must-carry."
On December 28th, 2005, WLVT was notified via FedEx that Directv never received any communication from WLVT regarding retransmission consent. Therefore, "Directv does not have any obligation to continue carriage of WLVT-TV." (see attachment 2)
On December 29th, 2005, Dan LaBert, Senior Director of Technology and Strategic Partnerships for WLVT contacted Bob Gabrielli, Senior Vice President of Programming Operations & Distribution for Directv. Contact was made first by leaving a voicemail with Gabrielli's office and then followed up with by sending an email. (see attachment 3)
In that message, LaBert communicated "It would be a disservice to the viewers of the Philadelphia DMA and the subscribers of DirecTV for this not to be worked out," and that "WLVT responded for carriage request by Directv on July 13th, 2005." A .pdf copy of the letter was attached to the email.
Bob Gabrielli did return our message that same day and spoke with Dan LaBert. Gabrielli stated that Directv sent out their communication on 12/28/2005 to give stations adequate time to respond just in case there were any glitches in the system. Gabrielli questioned why Directv did not receive WLVT's letter but then opened the previously sent email that contained a copy of WLVT's July 13th communication to Directv. While on still on the phone with LaBert, Gabrielli stated "well there must be in a glitch in our system. Everything looks ok on this letter. I will walk down to our legal department and get it taken care of. I will then follow back up with you letter this afternoon." Except, WLVT has yet to hear back from Directv regarding this issue.
On December 31st at 12:00 AM, WLVT was dropped from Directv's channel line-up.
Despite numerous phone calls, voice mails and emails to Directv's corporate office in El Segundo, California, WLVT has still yet to be contacted by Directv.
WLVT's signal did return to Directv on Tuesday, January 3rd but was once again dropped on Wednesday January 4th. We have been given no reason why our signal was dropped a second time.
WLVT deeply regrets any inconvenience to our viewers resulting from Directv's decision to drop our signal station. We renewed our intentions with Directv on July 13, 2005 and Directv failed to process the request. We are working feverishly to resolve this issue.

This is probably a long shot but I'll give it a go. I recently acquired a Magnavox color television model #19PR14 C121, chassis #19P601-00AA, this particular model only has one input and it's coaxial.. is it possible to put a composite input into it? I mean, is there a particular IC where I can tap leads off of and connect them to rca input jacks so that I can plug home entertainment components in the set? Sorry if this is worded wrong and phrased screwy...I've also acquired a wicked cold and am feeling a bit out of it. thanks guys |

Yep, I do this with my DVD player. You need an RF Modulator. I paid about $18 for mine. It converts the RCA cables to coax output. Pooh Bear |
Here is a link that might be useful: RF Modulator at Walmart

Heh, thanks...I can't believe that I didn't think of that...I'll have to go pick one up! |
That's the right answer as to what you need...But your TV does have a composite input. FYI, that's what the coax is..... |
- Posted by PoohBear2767 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 14, 05 at 16:46
So what are the RCA phono cables/jacks called. I know they are composite cables, but what should I call them. I would like to see the names for the various types of cables/jacks Pooh Bear |
- Posted by Videophile (My Page) on Sun, Sep 18, 05 at 2:25
RCA jacks are called RCA jacks. But normally RCA and composite are used interchangably. Technically the coax cable does carry a composite signal, but a person would only point that out to be annoying - everyone would know what you mean. Here is a quick list: coax/cable Then there are HDMI and DVI if you are really high end |
- Posted by TheObskure (My Page) on Mon, Sep 19, 05 at 19:19
Yeah..see, I was wondering if there were places on the circuit board of the television where i could attach RCA inputs , but I don't know enough about how the thing works to figure out where i would attach them... Thanks |
The bigger question is why you would bother plugging "home entertainment components" into a set that doesn't have those inputs. The quality has to be in the ol' crapper on that thing! Save your $18 and put it towards a brand new $100 TV that has an SVideo input! |
- Posted by TheObskure (My Page) on Thu, Sep 22, 05 at 18:46
Well, I realise that the signal would be subpar, but it doesn't really matter much to me. I got the set for free, and saw that it didn't have RCA inputs...which wouldn't have been a problem but for that I had intended to plug my old game systems into it (via a switchbox), i'd meant for it to only have the N64,Dreamcast and SNES plugged into it. Plus, I'm naturally curious and wanted to know if it could be done (wiring my own RCA inputs directly onto the board of the tv set). So, there you have it... |

Familiar minion rules
Posted 29 September 2013 - 11:54 AM
My Channel: http://www.youtube.c...adaptivegoblins
Posted 29 September 2013 - 12:40 PM
All is explained in the rulebook, p. 17 :
When activated, a familiar may perform a move action following the same rules as heroes. Familiars treat any special terrain (other than obstacles) as water during their movement. The familiar may perform additional types of actions during its activation, as noted on its Familiar card. These additional actions, unless otherwise noted, may be performed in addition to the move action and may interrupt the move action in a way similar to hero move actions. If no such other actions are noted, then all the familiar can do on its turn is move up to its Speed value.
Posted 29 September 2013 - 09:28 PM
Familiars do not have anything like "Summoning Sickness", so they can be activated on the same turn that they are summoned. (However, because they weren't on the board BEFORE they were summoned, their activation must happen after the hero's activation on that hero player's turn).
Also, you can't activate a familiar, dismiss it, re-summon, and activate again. (It's still the same familiar and has already activated that turn.)
Familiars get 1 move action, period. Extras come from specific familiar rules. e.g. Reanimate also gets 1 attack action, so has 1 move and 1 attack total (no opening doors, reviving heroes, quest actions, double moves, double attacks, etc.)

Sonya Reddix took over the cafe on Main Street in Winchester KY, and
renamed it after her daughter Maddie. Before Maddie's the cafe was a very popular establishment in the Winchester KY area that
people felt was part of the community. She acknowledged the cliental that the cafe already had and decided to build off of that. Maddie's Cafe
kept the original recipes and dishes to make the transition easier for former customers. The new cafe also is adding some new ideas to
the business that is ensured to be loved by all. With many unhealthy fast food places moving in Maddie's Cafe is focusing on taking every
customer's meal and creating it individually in a healthier and more considerate way. Maddie's Cafe also attempts to service its consumers
and the Winchester KY area more efficiently by providing online ordering as an option in which you can order and pay for your dish before you pick
it up. Maddie's has a huge variety of soups and has daily hot plate specials that she invites all families and friends to come enjoy.
Maddie's is more than a place to pick up food; they are a shining example of how customers should be able to receive food and enjoy it.

Adaptations are tricky things to get right. Cross-medium adaptations are even more difficult. Like others before it, Persona 4 wades its way through trying to capitalize on the source. And like others before it, the results are mixed, though I'd say it succeeds more than it fails thus far.
As I said previously though, its attempt at familiarity is both success and failure, and I don't just mean how the MC's name is not "Charlie Tunoku". Certain scenes simply do not translate from game to anime all too well, the most obvious being the initial entry into the television world. The televised version simply felt rushed and Yosuke's urine antics leading to the falling into the TV, instead of delivering a good laugh as it did in game, had me raising an eye brow at in annoyance at how absurd and poor that scene felt.
The MC's silent protagonist retreatment also bears mentioning. One can count the lines of dialogue he has in the episode on your fingers and toes. While that is not bad unto itself, his incredibly reserved, shy, and passive personality is simply not the type of character he presented himself as in game, regardless of player decisions. Things do get a bit more lively and heated during the combat scene (and I don't just mean when he starts stripping) as he utters a few emotion filled lines, and one can only hope his personality does not remain so blank.
Familiarity is a double edged sword, and perhaps Persona 4 will wield it well. The first episode was far more good than bad despite my criticisms, and one can only hope it keeps going that way.

Orange County, California (PRWEB) August 21, 2013
In 2010, the Obama administration was able to pass the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which penalizes hospitals for higher-than-expected readmission rates as part of its overhaul of the United States' healthcare system. Though this was done in an effort to force improvements in hospital quality (readmission is certainly not a desirable thing), many argue that the new government initiatives seek to mandate and penalize without providing viable solutions. Michael Demoratz, PhD and Certified Case Manager, says in-home senior care and assisted living placement services may very well help solve this issue.
"A lot of times, elderly patients end up back in the hospital or emergency room simply because they don't know what to do, or because they have nowhere else to go," said Demoratz. He explained the typical scenario where a patient is discharged in the afternoon and gets home a few minutes after 5 p.m. "If that patient has an issue or concern for the doctor and his office is closed when they call, they may dial 911 - or end up back in the hospital some other way when they don't necessarily need to be. This has become a serious problem."
The Silver Tsunami – a phrase meant to describe the rising senior population caused by the aging of the Baby Boomer generation – is also largely responsible for this epidemic. Given that there are more seniors in the US now than there have ever been (and that the population is expected to more than double over the next forty years), this readmission problem is certainly not something that will just go away.
"Hospitals, case managers, and physicians have to work together with senior care providers, assisted living placement experts and in-home caregivers for this to change," Demoratz s

Reporting Concerns:
How do I report my concern with a chemical exposure?
SAC can respond to health related questions about environmental exposures from the public. Environmental health scientists in SAC can provide guidance about how to evaluate exposures to chemicals and help find resources for controlling and mitigating exposures.
SAC is typically asked for an evaluation or to be involved in investigating an environmental issue by a governmental agency which has regulatory authority. These agencies include the Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR), the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and other local governmental offices.
SAC also responds to requests from doctors and other health care workers.
The role of MDH in sites where there are contaminant releases is primarily advisory, not regulatory. Because SAC does not have the ability to regulate in issues related to the environment, SAC cannot take direct action to stop an exposure. If there is an immediate health threat, MDH will issue a public health advisory. MDH notifies people of the hazard and works in cooperation with others to resolve the problem. For complaints or enforcement related to environmental contaminations, please contact the appropriate agency. These include: the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and local governmental offices. |
ATSDR Petition Process:
The SAC unit at MDH is funded in part by and receives technical assistance from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). Anyone may request or "petition" that ATSDR to do a health consultation or conduct a public health assessment of a site. For more information about how to petition ATSDR to conduct a public health assessment, call ATSDR's toll-free information line,1-888-42-ATSDR (1-888-422-8737), or send an e-mail request to firstname.lastname@example.com
ATSDR Petition Process:
Written requests can be sent to ATSDR. In the written request for assistance, be sure to include the following information:
- your name, address and phone number
- name of the group you represent, if any
- the name, location and description of the facility or chemical release
- as much information that you know about how you or others contacted the chemical
- request for MDH or ATSDR to perform a public heath assessment activity
See the Example Document Letter (Microsoft Word, 25 KB/1 page) or Example Fill-in Letter (Microsoft Word, 25 KB/1 page)
When ATSDR receives a petition, a team of environmental scientists, physicians, toxicologists, and other staff members is formed to gather and evaluate the available information about the site. The team decides whether ATSDR will be able to perform a public health assessment activity to address your concern. All petition requests are acknowledge in writing and will include the basis of the decision.

Future of Nursing Initiative
MONDAY, Feb. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Exposure to three household routines is associated with a significantly reduced prevalence of obesity in preschoolers, and an age-appropriate book may help obese girls aged 9 to 13 years lose weight, according to two articles published online Feb. 8 in Pediatrics.
Sarah E. Anderson, Ph.D., of the Ohio State University College of Public Health in Columbus, and a colleague conducted a cross-sectional analysis of about 8,550 4-year-old children who were assessed in 2005 in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study. They found that children who regularly ate dinner as a family, got adequate sleep, and had limited screen-viewing time had a significantly lower prevalence of obesity than children exposed to none of these routines (14.3 versus 24.5 percent).
Terrill Bravender, M.D., of Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and colleagues studied 31 obese girls who read an intervention novel about an overweight girl who improves her health and self esteem, and 33 girls who read a control novel. After two months, they found that the mean reduction in body mass index percentile was significantly greater in the intervention group (0.71 versus 0.33).
"Age-appropriate fiction, particularly if it addresses health-oriented behaviors, shows potential for augmenting weight loss in girls who participate in a weight-management program," Bravender and colleagues conclude. "Future research is needed to determine if the novel is effective for healthy lifestyle promotion among all overweight and obese adolescents."

I have an English Arm Sofa in my Great Room. I want to freshen things a little, but the sofa is only 4 years old and I can't justify replacing it, plus it's beautiful and comfy. I want to replace the chairs in that room and give it a more updated and current look. I'd like to add chairs that aren't too traditional but not so modern that it looks silly and doesn't fit the style of our home which is very Hamptons, dark wood floors, lots of white mill work, very crisp and classic. It's a very large room and the sofa is 104" long (custom made) and I want the chairs to be positioned directly across- chairs next to one another with a table between and facing the sofa. Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thank you,

That's crazy man those are not supposed to be on the market yet! I've remained generally unimpressed by his hybrids but there's finally a few that are getting some where, like white lave and black coral! |
that is spectacular! how big do they grow? |
- Posted by miketropic 6B - 7 (My Page) on Tue, May 28, 13 at 19:15
After a bit more research I discussed this with somone else and we both came to the same conclusion. One problem that could arise is that with nancys revenge in the gene pool sometimes the white mid rib will not show itself in our short growing season. If this is true then the white lava would just look like any other old colocasia. unless he has found a way to express the white mid rib from the newest leaves I would be leary of it for awhile. |
I'll get a picture off ASAP. New leaves open with the white marking. It' s putting out quite a few sprouts. These do not have the mark. Probably will develop after they reach some size. Home Depot only charged me $7.00. Should have gotten more. |

These arrived this week at Home Depot in Richmond, VA. Not my favorite, given the wrinkled distorted leaves which are typical for this variety. |
Here is my white lava a couple of months later. If you look to the right you can also see Kona coffee mixed in with a few others. Brad |

Reviews for: Bee Heaven Farm / Redland Organics
Average Review:
52 reviews
2nd year, still pleased
By: (May 6, 2014)
Besides getting fresh, tasty, locally-grown produce, these are my favorite aspects of Bee Heaven:
(1) webstore allows you to add on to your delivery
(2) diversity of products available through webstore
(3) most weeks deliver produce that make good companions in recipes (recipe suggestions are available too)
(4) the connection my family feels to our local farmers through newsletters and farm events
Year one in CSA was a lot of discovery. In year two, I used many of my go-to recipes from year one, but there were still enough new foods to keep things fun and fresh in the kitchen.
I just wish the season could be year-round. ;)

Bee Heaven Farm's CSA was found to not only be fault free, but they exceeded my already lofty expectations by delivering, perfect, healthy, delicious, fruits and vegetables throughout the entire growing season.
In addition, the variety of each week's box was superb and the quality and freshness matched or exceed the variety.
At first the price seemed steep, but for the amount of food, the high quality and the amazing variety, I can say I got far more than what I paid for. I will definitely sign-up for this CSA next season.
If there were ten stars, I would give Bee Heaven Farm a perfect ten. I recommend this CSA highly.

Delicious, Healthy, Local
By: Xenia Leonteva (Apr 11, 2014)
I have been buying produce from Bee Heaven Farm for many years and finally this year had a chance to participate in their CSA program. What a blessing it's been!!!! I love everything about it - delicious beautiful locally grown veggies and fruits, the adventure and surprise you get with every pick-up, and wonderful hardworking staff. It's truly a lot of fun to open up a box each week and find great quality products delivered directly from the local farms. I was introduced to so many varieties of veggies and loved them all. Communication with the organizers, mostly Margie, has been always pleasant and very personal. The whole experience was very personal and that's what you never find at a grocery store. I will certainly continue to participate in the program and will continue to support the farm in every way possible. Highly recommend this CSA program to everyone. Join and see for yourselves!

great way to eat more veggies and learn new recipes
By: (Apr 10, 2014)
This was like Christmas every Saturday! A big basket with something for everyone, including our rabbits (who are huge CSA fans). There were lots of greens, turnips, beets that took some creativity to plan meals - made lots of turnip/ beet chips. We grew our own tomatoes, there were not large amounts of tomatoes in the small share. This was an overall great start for us to eat more vegetables, try preparing vegetables different ways, and eat local. We really enjoyed the produce, the news letter and the adventure of new foods.

The Best South Florida Has to Offer
By: (Apr 9, 2014)
My family has been Bee Heaven Farm/Redland Organics CSA subscribers for years, and we look forward to it every season. It's beautifully organized and the variety and quality of local produce just gets better and better. The greens are vibrant and I rely on them, but there's also the thrill of "discovering" produce like romanesco -- it's like making new friends.
Margie's newsletter not only explains what we're getting each week but gives some back story about the interns or the produce that makes me appreciate all the more the commiment that goes into making this happen. As an advocate for plant-based sustainable food, it's a delicious way to live -- and eat -- in accordance with my beliefs. This CSA is the best South Florida has to offer.

Tried and True, Year after Year
By: Diane Shoaf (Apr 9, 2014)
6th year (or maybe more, I've lost count), a vegetarian's dream, downsized to small share and then ordered extras from mid-week market email notice. Love exposure to different fruits/vegetables as well as return of favorites: beets, fennel, mushrooms, patty pan squash, rainbow chard and romanesco. This year discovered new pesto possibilities like fennel fronds, carrot greens, scallions. Love the weekly newsletter that identifies what's in the share, keeps me connected with local farmers and interns,& provides recipes.

We have participated since year one and shared with another family of dear friends. A wonderful way to enjoy not only the produce, but to organize pick ups and see one another. We have learned by experience, not only what grows well in S. Fl., but how to consume it. There is always something new and interesting. Delicious, ethical, grounding. We eat better during the season and really enjoy opportunities to go to the "Gleaning" and other gatherings, when our sports schedule permits. Wish we got a bit more fruit and miss the extras that we used to share before so many folks signed up, but we are extremely pleased and plan to continue as long as this endearing CSA exists! S. Fl. was sorely lacking in accessible organics and Bee Heaven and their extended family of farms takes up the slack.

Suicide in elderly people: a literature review.
Summary of "Suicide in elderly people: a literature review."
A literature review was carried out focusing on the main factors associated with suicidal ideation, attempts and completed suicide in elders. The following databases were searched: MEDLINE, PsychINFO, SciELO and Biblioteca Virtual em Violência e Saúde da BIREME (BIREME's Violence and Health Virtual Library), referring to the period from 1980 to 2008. Fifty-two references were selected and analyzed. They showed a strong relationship among suicide ideation, attempt and completion in elderly individuals, which results from the interaction of complex physical, mental, neurobiological and social factors. Suicide associated with depression in the elderly can be prevented, provided the person is properly treated. In Brazil, it is necessary to invest in research, given the persistent increase in suicide rates among aged people, especially among males.

Review Literature As Topic
Published materials which provide an examination of recent or current literature. Review articles can cover a wide range of subject matter at various levels of completeness and comprehensiveness based on analyses of literature that may include research findings. The review may reflect the state of the art. It also includes reviews as a literary form.
An article or book published after examination of published material on a subject. It may be comprehensive to various degrees and the time range of material scrutinized may be broad or narrow, but the reviews most often desired are reviews of the current literature. The textual material examined may be equally broad and can encompass, in medicine specifically, clinical material as well as experimental research or case reports. State-of-the-art reviews tend to address more current matters. A review of the literature must be differentiated from HISTORICAL ARTICLE on the same subject, but a review of historical literature is also within the scope of this publication type.
Concurrent Review
Review of the medical necessity of hospital or other health facility admissions, upon or within a short time following an admission, and periodic review of services provided during the course of treatment.

Drug Utilization Review
Formal programs for assessing drug prescription against some standard. Drug utilization review may consider clinical appropriateness, cost effectiveness, and, in some cases, outcomes. Review is usually retrospective, but some analysis may be done before drugs are dispensed (as in computer systems which advise physicians when prescriptions are entered). Drug utilization review is mandated for Medicaid programs beginning in 1993.

Dallas Fed: Texas companies are optimistic about the future, taking extra steps to recruit and retain employees
Texas companies are more optimistic about the future and are taking extra steps to recruit and retain employees in an increasingly tight labor market.
That's according to the results of several extra questions asked to Texas businesses about their employment expectations by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas this moth. the results were released today along with the Dallas Fed's service sector and retail sales outlook surveys for November.
Texas' unemployment rate, adjusted for seasonal variations, fell to 5.1 percent in October. The rate for Dallas-Fort Worth is even lower at 4.8 percent, but it's not seasonally adjusted.
More Texas business executives plans to increase their hiring in the next six months to 12 months. The 48 percent that said so was a higher figure than six months ago and nine months ago. In addition, fewer executives plan to decrease employment.
Seventy-four percent of executives said they're having a hard time finding qualified workers in November vs. six months earlier (70 percent). They said the biggest reasons are (in order): lack of technical skills (58 percent), an insufficient number of applicants (47 percent) and a lack of experience (40 percent).
In response, more Texas business executives in November than in May said they're taking special steps to recruit and retain their employees. For example, 63 percent of executives said they're intensify recruiting efforts, including advertising, offering hiring bonuses and using staffing agencies to help hire.
Companies also are taking these other steps: increasing wages and benefits (53 percent), increasing variable pay, such as bonuses (34 percent) and improving work conditions (26 percent).

Human kind has been trying to come up with ways to control their outward appearance since they were able to articulate opinions about aesthetic physical beauty. One thing that some people had that others clearly did not was straight teeth. Naturally straight teeth are actually quite rare and although many people have teeth that look good, they are not totally straight and their upper and bottom jaw do not necessarily come together properly. Someone could have what appear to be perfect teeth but when examined more closely, they have a specific malocclusion that is clear.
Orthodontics is the study and correction of malocclusions and although typically braces are the best way to deal with them early in life, there are materials that can be used to make them more discrete and some that are not actually braces at all. Knowing what options are available is important when someone is looking into doing something that will make them eventually feel better about their teeth is important because without the proper knowledge, one cannot make an informed decision. Here are some basic options that one may or may not be interested in when it comes down to the idea of correcting their smiles so they can eventually feel great about their teeth:
Clear braces – Clear braces are like normal fixed straight wire appliances that are made out of stainless steel brackets and have wiring connected between them but the brackets are made out of hard, transparent brackets instead of metal. These brackets can make the process of wearing braces for an adult or a teenager a little less nerve-wracking because they have better aesthetic appeal than metal. They are not as durable as stainless steel and may require more trips to the orthodontist for maintenance but if they are taken care of well, that will not necessarily be the case.
Ceramic braces – Like clear braces, the only difference between these, clear and traditional braces is the material used to construct the bracket out of. It is a matter of personal opinion as to whether one believes that ceramic braces or transparent plastic ones blend in better, but also like plastic braces, ceramic braces are not as easy to maintain because they are not as strong. With the right care though, they do not necessarily require any more trips into the orthodontist for repairs on top of the normally scheduled adjustment appointments that are always required with braces.
Retainers and Spacers – Sometimes retainers and spacers can be proactively applied during one's childhood when their permanent teeth are coming in and their smiles are beginning to take shape. Retainers are custom-designed by orthodontists and their purpose when trying to avoid braces is to help properly shape the developing bones in the patient's mouth. One's ridge lines need to develop correctly in order for their teeth to come in at the right angle. Properly applied spacers during this time can encourage that the teeth that are coming are doing so by being moved into a position that allows other teeth enough room to come in properly. This approach is used in some cases because an orthodontist truly believes that it can make adjustments that make braces unnecessary, and sometimes it needs to be done in preparation for braces.
Invisalign – Invisalign is the best possible teeth-straightening method available to those who do not have a malocclusion that is causing them any kind of health problem like, uneven wear of their teeth, TMJ, tensions headaches or dental or gum disease. These issues can necessitate the need for braces or other maxillofacial adjustments that require surgery but when the need is to just increase the aesthetic appeal one one's smile, Invisalign is a great way to go. This is an especially popular choice for teenagers and adults because the 'aligners' used to straighten their teeth instead of brackets and wires are made out of transparent plastic that are custom-fit around their teeth. Digital computer imaging technology and 3-D printing make this method possible and any orthodontist can determine whether one is capable of achieving desirable results with Invisalign.
The fact is that no matter what options it is that one has available to them, if they are uncomfortable with their smiles it is indeed affecting their lives. If Invisalign is not an option, having braces for one to three years will always provide benefits for the rest of one's life once they have beautifully straight and healthy teeth. Often, the most difficult choices make the biggest difference in our lives.

This was my first lipstain, but I must say that I'm impressed. The addition of the lipbalm is genius, because the marker part itself dries the lips out. The balm also creates that natural glossy look without being sticky and I prefer that over any lipgloss that bleeds and catches my hair on a windy day. Careful though, these can leave weird patches on your chapped lips once you try to remove the color. The application is moderately easy, it's a little hard to apply quickly since a mistake is not easily erased with these inks.. Overall, a nice alternative to creamy lipsticks and sticky glosses. I bought the dark colors for the first time but I'm eager to try the lighter colors!
I adore this lipstain! It lasts all day long and gives a wonderful color! I usually use the lipstain under lipstick to give it more color since it is very regular on it's own. I don't really use the balm a lot since it's not very mosturizing and is kind of pointless in my opinion. The only reason I wouldn't buy this again is because I would never need one again since it's a very wet marker style
I will attest to some of the complaints. The balm broke on both of my Just Bitten lipstains. And the colors on the packaging have nothing to do with the color, you must swatch them to know what they look like.
LOVE these. I have one in Frenzy (plum toned red) and Flame (coral pink) and they are wonderful if you want something less heavy and more long wearing than a traditional creamy lipstick but not as drying or high-maintenance as a dual-ended lipstick. The best thing about them is that you can completely control how pigmented the color will be on your lips. You can lightly spread the formula across the lips for a wash of color or fill them in for bleeding pigment. They also last a decent amount of time on me (about four hours). Surprisingly I don't find them drying at all. I can barely feel the stain on my lips. The balm, while it existed, smelled awful but did the job. I had no issues with either of the markers drying out.
Definitely will repurchase, in hopes Revlon will fix the packaging and presentation.
I was very disappointed in this product. The applicator for the lipstick was very rough and scratchy when I applied it to my lips. I had to return it because there was no way I would want to use it on my lips on a daily basis.
This is my first lipstain, so I don't know how it compares with other lipstains on the market, but overall, I like this product.
Got it in Gothic, which is a bright cherry red. The color appears darker on my lips.
It's very long-lasting, the color only faded a little bit after eating. Having a lip balm together is very convenient. The only thing is that since the lipbalm doesn't retract and I'm a klutz, I always end up shaving off some of the lipbalm when I try to cap it.
However, if you have very pigmented lips like me, beware that lipstain is not completely opaque, and colors lighter than your natural lip color may not show up. I think it's like trying to dye dark hair lighter without bleaching first, the dye color is just not going to be show.
I initially bought this product because I was tired of people thinking that I was still 16 when I'm 21, thought maybe a little lipstick/stain would make me look older, and it did. I really like how the color stays throughout the day, but disappointed in the balm, it doesn't last very long and I end up having to apply chapstick the rest of the day. I bought the "Twilight" lipstain first because I thought the color was so pretty, but when I applied it, it was way darker than the marker color, but still a nice color. A few days later I got the "Passion" color and its darker than the hot pink marker color (which is what I figured it would do) and its a nice fun pink stain.
Overall this product is great, just know that the color you think you're getting is actually darker, and buy a good chapstick while you're at it, the balm doesn't last.
This stuff BLOWS AWAY the competition!!!! I tried cover girl and maybelline lip stain before this and was VERY disappointed. They were equally awful, ineffective and basically trash. this is so much easier to use, deposits the right amount of color and is vibrant and long lasting. i want more. i took one lippie unfortunately because the balm broke off the first time i used it. whatever though it is still an amazing DS HG.
More reviews by beehivekristine
I wanted to like this. The stain started beautiful, but left me within the hour. As for the balm end...too delicate...broke the first day. I'll stick with my Lip Venom.
I love this! I am lazy when it comes to lip color. I hate retouching my lips so having a long-wearing color is perfect for me. Quite hard to apply at first but you'll get the hang of it after a few tries. I have this in Twilight. Freshly applied, the color is deep red but fades to a nice tint after a few hours. It doesn't leave your lips bare so you still look 'put together'.
Tip: Apply layers of lip balm before putting the stain so you have a few seconds to spread the color. It also helps do 'color' your lips by section so you have time to spread the color evenly.

Warnock: Every game will be a grind
QPR manager Neil Warnock knows his side will have to "grind" their way back to the Premier League.
The npower Championship leaders were held to a 1-1 draw at bottom club Preston on Saturday despite Heidar Helguson's early opener.
Barry Nicholson's equaliser means the gap at the top remains five points, and second-placed Nottingham Forest have a game in hand.
But Warnock was happy to pocket another point as his side edged a step closer to the top flight.
"It proves there are no easy games - look at Forest losing against Scunthorpe the other night - that's the kind of league it is," said Warnock.
"We'll keep ticking along though, that's 14 games to go now. From now on it's going to be a grind."
