This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Rheum officinale poisoning
The leaves (leaf blade) of the rhubarb plant; the stalk can be eaten.
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional. Flush the skin and eyes with lots of water, if the plant touched these areas.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor your vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. You may receive:
How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster you get medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Symptoms last for 1 - 3 days and may require a hospital stay.
Serious poisonings can result in kidney failure. Deaths have been reported, but are rare.
Do not touch or eat any plant with which you are not familiar. Wash your hands after working in the garden or walking in the woods.

You should look into putting as much of that 10% leftover into a Roth. It can work as your emergency savings since you can pull your contributions out at any time with no taxes. Look into some ETFs, they're liquid enough. Plus theres a better chance you wont be outpaced by inflation if you were to this over just using a savings. Open 1 account. Put 5% into more conservative ETFs like short/intermediate term bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, emerging market bonds. 5% into more aggressive ETFs like growth, large cap, small cap, real estate. There will be small expense fees but IMO its worth it. You will reduce your volatility doing it this way.

If the Packers are going to make the playoffs, they'll have to earn their way in by defeating a Giants team that figures to pose one of the stiffest challenges of the season. Forget about the G-Men going in the tank after last week's epic fourth quarter collapse against the Eagles. They'll be coming to Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon ready to play. And they'll be bringing with them a powerful running game and a fierce pass rush – two things that have given Green Bay trouble all season.
To combat the dynamic 1-2 punch of Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw, the defensive linemen and linebackers must be physical and disciplined. Jacobs weighs over 260 pounds and would rather run over a defender than around him. Just ask Charles Woodson. Bradshaw has good vision and the ability to explode through cutback lanes. The return of Frank Zombo would definitely help. The rookie right outside linebacker, who missed last week's game with a knee injury, has been solid against the run all season.
Offensively, the Packers will be challenged to move the ball against the league's third-ranked defense. And while the line played better against New England, it will have to perform at an even higher level this week. The Giants boast a bevy of dangerous pass rushers and a creative coordinator (Perry Fewell) who likes to play cover-2 and isn't afraid to blitz. An effective ground game is the best way to attack this defense. Offenses that have been able to gain positive yardage on the ground early and at least make Fewell think about the run have usually been able to make plays down the field later.
The last time the Giants visited Lambeau Field, they left with an overtime win and a trip to Super Bowl XLII. These Giants are fairly similar. The Packers, on the other hand, are a much different team. Green Bay's three weakest links from that particular game – quarterback Brett Favre, defensive coordinator Bob Sanders and cornerback Al Harris – are no longer around. It would seem Aaron Rodgers, Dom Capers and Tramon Williams represent significant upgrades. Whether that's going to be enough to offset the 15 players on IR and keep the Packers' playoff dream alive remains to be seen.

Apr. 23, 2013
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
The bats broke out in a big way for the Buena Vista baseball team on Tuesday afternoon, as the Beavers went on the road and out-scored Coe College, 21-2, to take a doubleheader sweep from the Kohawks, who came into the day tied for the league lead.
BVU wasted no time getting the offense going, plating six runs in the top first of the inning, giving Tyson Valentine, who was making his collegiate debut, all the run support he would need.
Brandon Wessels singled home the game's first run with one out before the Beavers added five more with two outs, including a three-run double by senior Alex Davis. Junior Weston Foxx singled twice in the inning and drove in a run with the second.
Coe got one of those runs back in the second, but then went without a hit until the sixth inning.
BVU made it a 7-1 game in the third when Foxx singled home another run and then added the final three runs in the seventh, including two runs on a dropped fly ball by the Kohawks, who finished with five errors and only four hits.
Foxx finished 3-for-5 at the plate with Davis, as well as Jesse Munsterman adding two hits apiece. Munsterman, Dillon Plath and Ryan Duncan each scored twice, as BVU reached 10 runs in a game for the first time since losing a 16-12 decision to Wartburg College.
Valentine picked up his first career win while going the distance, allowing just the one run on four hits and striking out three.
The momentum carried over into the nightcap, as BVU went on to score runs in each of the first four innings, including seven in the third. Coe got its run in the fourth, as the game was called after seven due to the 10-run rule.
Foxx also picked up where he left off, tripling to center to start the game, and scoring a batter later on Nick Schlecht's RBI ground out. He was one of six players to finish with two hits for the Beavers, who out-hit the Kohawks, 14-6.
Wessels and Davis each drove in two runs as seven different players finished with an RBI.
Kendall Hazel picked up the win and improves to 2-2 on the year after going the distance, scattering six hits, striking out one and walking one.
Buena Vista improves to 16-14 overall (8-10 IIAC) and climbs up into third in the IIAC standings. The team will remain on the road for a four-game weekend series at Central College (15-12, 7-9 IIAC) beginning with Friday's doubleheader at 1:00pm.

It is rare for a trial to be moved from one venue to another. Lawyers have to prove that there is no possibility a defendant would get a fair trial in their home jurisdiction.
Most often, venue is changed in extremely high profile cases, such as those with an inordinate amount of media coverage or those where celebrities are involved.
Since jury pools are drawn from at least thousands of voters in a jurisdiction, a lawyer would have a very hard time convincing a court to change venue simply because one demographic in the area may not favor their client.

Human-factors. The Key To Consistent Creativity and Productivity. How long can you concentrate and focus on one thing before your energy and attention begins to falter?
How long does it take you to engage in a particular thing to make the effort of engagement worth it? The answers to those two questions make up (what I'm calling) your engagement threshold, and figuring out your engagement threshold is probably the most important thing you can do to become more consistently creative and productive. Findings - Ear Plugs to Lasers - The Science of Concentration - APML - Attention Profiling Mark-up Language. "Web 2.0" is the New. A number of people have been riffing on the how "Web 2.0" is the new vendor lock-in.
The week started with a post by Alex Iskold entitled Towards the Attention Economy: Will Attention Silos Ever Open Up? Where he wrote At a quick glance there maybe nothing wrong with the way things are today. For example, you can login to Amazon and see your order history, you can see what you rented on Netflix or what you bought on eBay. What the (social) attention is not? : nico's blog. When I talk about my researches on the management of the attention, sometimes people misunderstand due maybe to the fuzzy notion of attention.
Idem in a project context, sharing common and clear understanding about the key concepts of the project is something very important and avoid some future problems . Rough Type: Nicholas Carr's Blog: Sharecropping the long ta. A while back I wrote that Web 2.0, by putting the means of production into the hands of the masses but withholding from those same masses any ownership over the product of their work, provides an incredibly efficient mechanism to harvest the economic value of the free labor provided by the very many and concentrate it into the hands of the very few.
Richard MacManus's new analysis of web traffic patterns helps illustrate the point. Despite the explosion of web content, spurred in large part by the reduction in the cost of producing and consuming that content, web traffic appears to be growing more concentrated in a few sites, not less.

Potatoes - 4
Onion - 1 large
Tomato - 2 or 3
Green Chili - 2
Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 Tbsp
Turmeric powder -1 tsp
salt - 2 tsp
Red Chili Powder - 1 tsp
Coriander Powder - 1 tsp
Clove - 2
Cardamom - 1
Cinnamon - 2 ( 1 inch stick)
Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 Tbsp
Yogurt - 1/4 Tbsp
Coconut Powder - 1 Tbsp ( Optional)
Cilantro (Coriander) - 1 Tbsp (for garnish)
- Boil the Potatoes until they become soft and let them cool.
- Heat the oil in the non stick pan, and once the oil is hot add Clove, Cardamom, Cinnamon followed by Cumin Seeds. (fry for 1 min)
- Add the Ginger Garlic paste. Fry until the oil separates from it.
- Add thinly chopped onions and green chili. ( fry for 1 min)
- Add 1 tsp of salt and turmeric powder
- Once the onions are fried ( became translucent) add the chopped tomato to the pan.
- Close the lid and let it simmer on medium heat for 3 min.
- Add remaining salt, red chili powder and coriander powder to the gravy. and simmer for 3 more minutes.
- Now add the Yogurt (Dahi / Curd) to the pan simmer for 2 min (until the curd breaks).
- mean while peel and chop the boiled potatoes into medium size. Add the potatoes to the gravy and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
- At the end add coconut powder and switch off the stove and close the lid and let it be on the stove for few minutes.
After 5minutes transfer it to serving bowl and garnish with some cilantro (coriander leaves) and Enjoy with your Mix Veg Pulao or Jeera Rice or Coconut Rice.
This goes very well with your chapati / roti also. Next day I roll the left over curry into some tortialls, that makes my breakfast on the go ready. Now, that's smart right :-).
My Notes:
- In Some recipes, the yogurt will be added after the potatoes are added. But My mom adds it before so that the gravy will be balanced with creaminess and later the potatoes will be coated with all spices evenly.
- I suggest boiling the potatoes in pressure cooker. For this curry they have to be very soft and mashed up.
- Adding coconut powder is optional. If you don't like it you can avoid it.
While you enjoy these, I will be back with some more dishes.
until then take care and enjoy the night with your family.

It brings back so many memories from when i was growing up playing with my 3 sisters Edited by nik29, 22 October 2012 - 09:30 AM. #6Posted 22 October 2012 - 09:37 AM
I loved my little pony as a girl. My favorite my little pony memory is when I took my collection as a 15 year old and set them up on display in my tack shed at the stables waiting for my very own first real horse to arrive. I loved adding my chestnut 17hh tb to my collection. He even arrived with a love heart clipped into his butt
#7Posted 22 October 2012 - 09:41 AM
Watching how entranced my 3 year old DD gets in the My Little Pony movies we have, and watching her create games and stories with her ponies - its a joy to watch her having so much fun without needed a computer or TV.
#8Posted 22 October 2012 - 09:43 AM
I remember my Opa giving me $2 to spend at the markets and I bought heaps of ponies all 5c each, I felt like I had won the lottery.
#9Posted 22 October 2012 - 09:46 AM
The look of amazement, as we unpacked the box, watching my child playing with her new found pony friend...well maybe that should be "inner child" my daughter just turned
thirty-eight... guess you never grow out of your "My Little Pony" pals.... now if I can just stop my daughter and grandaughter fighting over them, a Mother's job is never done!!!! #10Posted 22 October 2012 - 09:46 AM

My Little Pony princess simply adores,
She simply loves the videos, they provide fun galore, On her second birthday, she opened her gift, Watched in amazement her face lift, That Pink Little Pony emerged and made her day, Brought her happiness in every way, At night securely in her arms, Is a little Pink Pony who she loves. #12Posted 22 October 2012 - 10:51 AM
Watching the My Little Pony movies as a kid over and over again, and wishing that I was Megan in the movies.
#13Posted 22 October 2012 - 01:24 PM
I remember receiving my first pony, and lovingly brushing her mane and tail. I love seeing my daughters enjoy them like I did.
#14Posted 22 October 2012 - 01:37 PM
Every evening, watching my daughter line her ponies up along the edge of the bath ready for that nights dramatic make-believe. Nothing else quite captures her imagination like a My Little Pony does.
#15Posted 22 October 2012 - 09:58 PM
One night my son insisted he watch a My Little Pony DVD on repeat, as he had an ear infection and couldn't sleep.
#16Posted 22 October 2012 - 10:08 PM
Watching my daughter's delight at Rainbow Dash's sonic "rainboom" and the dance she choreographed to accompany it. Her creativity flourishes with My Little Pony.
#17Posted 22 October 2012 - 10:08 PM
I remember how excited I was to receive a My Little Pony pyjama case - love that DD1 now uses it!
#18Posted 22 October 2012 - 10:11 PM
DS found my stash from when I was little. He hasn't stopped playing with them. He makes them play with his dinosaurs.
#19Posted 23 October 2012 - 12:36 PM
My Little Pony was my daughter's favourite toy when she was growing up!
#20Posted 23 October 2012 - 08:28 PM
Mine is a pretty recent one - my daughter got some sticky fruit leather stuck in her hair and was really upset about it as we couldn't brush it so I got the idea to stick some fruit leather in her My Little Pony's hair too - she loved it! We then played 'hairdresser' with her My Little Pony, where we had to take it to the hairdresser for a beauty treatment on its hair. Certainly dried up all the tears! :-)
#21Posted 23 October 2012 - 08:40 PM
DD loves playing with her my little ponys everyday she uses her doll house as there home. Rainbow dash, sweetie belle and spike all come shopping they need to shop.
#22Posted 23 October 2012 - 08:49 PM
Watching my daughters play (nicely, together, for hours!) with my old childhood Ponies. Three new Ponies in theif stockings last Christmas was their favourite present!
#23Posted 23 October 2012 - 08:55 PM
The biggest and best memory is what helped me be the strong person I am today, watching those little ponies just keep pushing through any obstacle to do what's right no matter how unpleasant.
#24Posted 23 October 2012 - 09:22 PM
I loved MLP as a child and now my daughter plays with my ponies. She loves to play with them in the doll house.

(born March 7, 1875, Ciboure, France—died Dec. 28, 1937, Paris) French composer. At age 14 he was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire. Completing his piano studies, he returned to study composition with Gabriel Fauré, writing the important piano piece Jeux d'eau (completed 1901) and a string quartet. In the next decade he produced some of his best-known music, including Pavane pour une infante défunte (1899), the String Quartet (1903), and the Sonatine for piano (1905). His great ballet Daphnis et Chloé (1912) was commissioned by the impresario Sergey Diaghilev. Other works include the opera L'Enfant et les sortileges (1925), the suite Le Tombeau de Couperin (1917), and the orchestral works La Valse (1920) and Boléro (1928). Careful and precise, Ravel possessed great gifts as an orchestrator, and his works are universally admired for their superb craftsmanship; he has remained the most widely popular of all French composers.

Jeux d'eau is a piece for solo piano by the French Impressionistic composer, Maurice Ravel. The title often translates to "Fountains", "Water Games", and "Playing water" (See Jeux d'eau, water features in gardens.) The piece, a virtuosic tone-poem, is inspired by Franz Liszt (Jeux d'eau a la Villa d'Este), and also as Ravel explained:
This work is considered one of the first examples of "musical impressionism" among Ravel's compositions. At the time of writing this work, Ravel was a student under Gabriel Fauré to whom it is dedicated. Ricardo Viñes was the first to publicly perform the work in 1902, although it had been privately performed for the Apaches previously. Written on the manuscript by Ravel, and often included on published editions, is "Dieu fluvial riant de l'eau qui le chatouille... / Henri de Régnier" which in English editions is translated to "River god laughing as the water tickles him..."; this quote is from Régnier's Cité des eaux as a note that the piece is to be played lightly. To one performer who played the piece too slowly, Ravel said her waterfalls sounded sad.

Building Character: Leslie Jordan and Varla Jean Merman
The two stars camp it up in the new musical "Lucky Guy"
Welcome to Building Character, TDF Stages' ongoing series about actors and how they create their roles
It takes a lot of work to be so trashy. Leslie Jordan and Varla Jean Merman (a.k.a. Jeffery Roberson) play the villains in Lucky Guy, a campy new musical about big hair and big dreams in the world of country music. But while their performances are deliciously over the top, they're not just goofing around. In a recent conversation at the Little Shubert Theater, the actors explained what it takes to be playful on stage… and what Jordan's sisters have known all along.
TDF: This is a gleefully campy show. Leslie, you play Big Al Wright, a used car dealer who lies and says that country superstars owned everything on your lot, and Jeffery, you play Jeannie Jeannine, the queen of country music, who plots with Big Al to dupe a young songwriter into giving you his best material. That leads to trailer park love scenes, scheming in a record booth, and unexpected Hawaiian dancing.
But you always seem like you're playing people. Flashy people, sure, but not caricatures. As performers, how do you go big without going too big?
Jeffery Roberson:You kind of figure out the tone of the show as you do it. There is some realism in it, especially with the other characters.
Leslie Jordan: You've got the young lovers who are serious and real, so you can't go too crazy. I think both of us have this innate, built-in sense that there's always what Normal Lear used to call "the golden moment." You have to have a little "oomph" to it, a little something besides just being out there being silly.
JR: And believe me, when we've done stuff that was too big, we were told.
LJ: I've dealt with that my whole career. There was an old commercial director years ago who put me in commercials all the time, and he'd come in and go, "Can you do it with a little less brain damage?"
TDF: Jeffery, your fans know you as your drag character, Varla Jean Merman, and Leslie, you've done outré comedy on TV shows like Will & Grace and in movies like Sordid Lives. Do you think that creates an expectation for how you'll perform in this show?
LJ: It's tricky for him, because he's not a drag queen. It's not like Priscilla, where you say, "Oh God, they're drag queens." He's playing a woman.
JR: My drag character that I do is supposed to be a real woman. In fact, it's hard for me to play the Priscilla part. I don't really relate to that.
TDF: How do you impact each others' performances?
LJ: I love that he's very giving. I feel safe out there. He has a really big laugh, and I somehow jumped it one night, and a lesser actor would've murdered me.
JR: No one in the cast is like that. I've definitely done shows where someone wants every second. It's like playing tennis. You have your moment and serve it and wait it for it to come back to you. It's never about trying to cover and keep the ball.
TDF: You've been performing in front of audiences for a few weeks. What has that taught you about the show that you didn't know in rehearsal?
JR: There are definitely some lines that you thought you were gonna deliver big, but now the smaller you deliver them, the bigger laugh it gets. My whole speech after my opening number, I was trying to do that big and have a lot in it that would be insincere, but it actually works better if I just let it be insincere one time. So in the next scene, it works better when I'm a bitch. It's like two different people: The person who's in front of the audience, and the person who's behind the scenes. I learned that on stage. At first I was playing the cracks in that [sincerity], and now I don't do that.
TDF: Leslie mentioned that you both have a lot of experience doing solo shows, and neither of you has spent a lot of time in traditional productions like this one, with lots of cast members and collaborators. How has that been different for you?
JR: What I didn't really realize is that any slight change can mess something up. If you drop that line, then it messes up the timing.
LJ: All of a sudden, we're these team players. And plus this arduous rehearsal process. Who fu**ing knew? We're still rehearsing! We're not used to that. We're used to, "Throw it up, and get it up there, and do it." None of this rehearsal. I called my sister. I have identical twin sisters who have worked in the restaurant business for thirty years. They're such hard workers; they were dippin' ice cream at the Baskin-Robbins when they were sixteen. I called her and I said, "We were in that rehearsal hall from ten to six, Monday through Saturday."
And there was this pause, and my sister said, "Oh, like a job?"

Arizona Stronghold Tazi White 2008
Arizona Stronghold
- Arizona
- United States
2008 saw very high yields across wineries in much of the southern hemisphere, as a result of highly favorable climatic conditions. Although in many areas, these high yields brought with them something of a drop in overall quality, this could not be said for South Australia's wines, which were reportedly excellent. Indeed, the 2008 Shiraz harvest in South Australia is said to be one of the most successful in recent decades, and western Australia's Chardonnays are set to be ones to watch out for. New Zealand's Pinot Noir harvest was also very good, with wineries in Martinborough reportedly very excited about this particular grape and the characteristics it revealed this year. Pinot Noir also grew very well in the United States, and was probably the most successful grape varietal to come out of California in 2008, with Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley delivering fantastic results from this grape. Elsewhere in United States, Washington State and Oregon had highly successful harvests in 2008 despite some early worries about frost. However, it was France who had the best of the weather and growing conditions in 2008, and this year was one of the great vintages for Champagne, the Médoc in Bordeaux, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, with Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes leading the way. Italy, too, shared many of these ideal conditions, with the wineries in Tuscany claiming that their Chianti Classicos of 2008 will be ones to collect, and Piedmont's Barberesco and Barolo wines will be recognized as amongst the finest of the past decade.
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Mathematics Standards
Calculus |
When taught in high school, calculus should be presented with the same level of depth and rigor as entry level college and university calculus courses. These standards outline a complete college curriculum in one variable calculus. It is recognized that many high school programs may have insufficient time to cover all of the following content in a typical academic year. For example some districts may treat differential equations lightly and spend substantial time on infinite sequences and series. Others may do the opposite. Consideration of the College Board syllabi for the AB and BC Advanced Placement exams may be helpful in making curricular decisions. Calculus is a widely applied area of mathematics, and also involves a beautiful intrinsic theory. Students mastering this content will be exposed to both these important aspects of the subject. |

Budget balanced for Selinsgrove schools
SELINSGROVE—Expenses continue to outweigh revenues in the Selinsgrove School District. With a 1.3 mill tax increase for residents, Monday's school board meeting revealed a balanced budget for next year. Superintendent Chad Cohrs said that the $35 per household increase is necessary to offset decreases in future funding. "The state budget dollars—the basic [education] subsidy is supposed to increase for next year, but federal dollars, which is partly due to the sequestration at the federal level, means that reduction in federal dollars for school districts." Despite 'moderate local economic growth,' the school board noted that increases in costs and decreases in funding could be an issue in the near future. Cohrs said that with ObamaCare and…
Montour County Commissioners defend prayer practices
SUNBURY — The Montour County Commissioners have been criticized for conducting public prayer prior to their weekly meetings. Chairman Trevor Finn explained why he believes the weekly prayer is nothing to be upset about. "Well first of all, it's not a Christian prayer, it is non-denominational. Secondly, we do it before our meeting. We ask anybody that wishes to, to participate. You know, they can rise if they want to. And then we say the pledge of allegiance." Ian Stone, of KeystoneIndependent Media Center, has targeted the commissioners for this practice. He says Solicitor Robert Marks, who receives a county salary, leads the prayer on county time.

The fire was at a home in the 200 block of Pierce Street and crews were unable to save 2-year-old Elijah Brown, 3-year-old Emily Brown, 7-year-old Jeremiah Brown and 8-year-old Joy Brown.

Two Valley road projects start today
MONTOURSVILLE — PennDOT says a pair of road projects start today on busy Valley roads–and there will be long delays. Route 15 north and south, between Shamokin Dam and the Snyder/Union County line, will see a major road work, lane restrictions and some expected delays. Work starts today and continues until the end of September. In Union County, a railroad bridge replacement project will begin Wednesday–and White Deer Pike will be closed at the railroad overpass between Old Route 15 and the Nurse Helen Fairchild Bridge at Watsontown. A detour will use Old Route 15, and the Route 44 bridge. That project and the detour will wrap up by the end of August….
I-81 could reopen Tuesday
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Transportation officials hope to reopen Interstate 81 on Tuesday morning following last week's tanker fire that damaged a ramp over the highway near Harrisburg. PennDOT officials said Sunday they hope I-81 will ready for the morning commute on Tuesday. The interstate has been shut down since Thursday when a tanker carrying diesel fuel overturned and burst into flames. The intense heat buckled steel beams and damaged the road so badly officials feared it could collapse onto the interstate. Long-term repairs could take months and traffic restrictions will remain in place while the damage is assessed. Follow

As we move into spring and summer you have many fresh and inexpensive fruits and vegetables that you can incorporate into your daily routine.
It is also important to watch your stress level. Finding ways to de-stress like exercise, deep breathing, soaking in a hot Epsom salt bath, yoga, taking a walk with your family or girlfriends, are all ways to improve your menstrual cycle as well.
Our cycles are intricately tied to how we live our life. The better we treat ourselves, the more our menstrual cycles will improve as well.

OTC History
OTC DAIHEN, initially known as OTC America (Osaka Transformer Company), set up its first office in Charlotte, NC in 1979. Originally a supplier of only welding equipment for other transplant companies, OTCA soon became a leader in the Japanese automotive market as a provider of gas metal arc welding supplies.
Dynamic Robotics Division
In the late 1970's, OTC Japan developed its first generation of dedicated arc welding robots. The first of these robots, THOR, launched in 1981. OTC America entered the robotic business in North America in 1983, and continued to refine automation welding with its ALMEGA line of robots. In 1985, OTC DAIHEN became the official OEM supplier of robots to Miller Electric Co.
In 1995, Miller announced its departure from the robotics business. In order to maintain the high volume of robots installed, as well as to continue selling to new users, OTC DAIHEN Inc. launched its Dynamic Robotic Division and moved the U.S. headquarters to Ohio.
The first series of robots sold in the United States with the OTC DAIHEN name utilized the Dynamic Robotics (DR) Controller. This was followed by release of the EX series in 2001, the AX series in 2003, the AII series in 2008 and the current model FD series in 2012.
OTC DAIHEN Continued Growth & Expansion
In an effort to unify the direction of the company and improve communication, the Welding Power Supplies Division and the Dynamic Robotic Division of OTC DAIHEN Inc. combined in 2001. The company established its headquarters in the Dayton, Ohio area.
OTC DAIHEN has expanded by adding branch offices in Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, Novi, MI, and Monterrey, Mexico.
OTC DAIHEN continues to grow and live up to the company mission: Meeting the Challenge.

As you probably do not know, Mario is celebrating his 20th birthday on September 13th. In preparation for this
monumental occasion, Nintendo of Japan has launched a web site in honor of their flagship plumber. The site does not
feature much yet, content-wise, but you can watch two videos of, well, someone's controller as they play (and quickly
die in) World 1-1 and 1-2 of the original NES Super Mario Bros. There are ten more spots on that page with a
"Coming Soon" as well as an overhead tab with the signature "????," so do expect more to come soon.
What are your fondest Mario memories? Favorite/most reviled Mario game? I'm thinking my favorite would be
Mario is Missing (because of the love for Luigi) or Super Mario RPG, and my least favorite would be Hotel Mario for the
Phillips CD-I.
