This is my all time favorite chapstick and the one I use all the time. I go back to this one everytime. It isn't waxy and has a slight mint flavor.

Best chapstick ever! I use this daily to keep my lips moisturized but also helps once your lips are already chapped to nurse them back to healthy! Will always recommend & repurchase.

I love the mintiness. I hate everything else. I have both the tube and the tin. This stuff dries my lips out terribly. There's got to be a better moisturizing minty balm available. Glad it was cheap.

This is my HG lip balm. I'm a lip balm/gloss efficianado, and this is the best of the hundreds of balms I've tried. It's a little thick, but I always come back to my Burt's Bees. Oh, I use the tube by the way. It's better than the tin IMO.
I love the minty feel and the smell of this balm, but it just doesn't do a very good job of keeping my lips soft. This feels great when I put it on, but I keep having to reapply it every hour or two because my lips start flaking/drying out more than before. I like the way it feels anyway so that's not too big of a problem, but for softening purposes I'd go with something else.
Another thing -- it gets kind of annoying trying to get this out of the tin if you don't warm it up first, even if it's just been in your bag in an air-conditioned room.

I bought the lip balm in the tin. The formula is light and my lips would crack if I used this in winter. But that's not the worst thing about this product. As my finger touched the bottom of the tin after about a month and a half's use, I saw something that was reddish brown. I didn't worry too much about it, but as my finger picked up more of the balm I could see that there was more of that reddish brown thing. There's no doubt in my mind that it was rust. I emailed Burt's Bees about it, and the person from BB told me that what happened wasn't normal. However, I won't be purchasing this lip balm in the tin again. Not even the stick form.

I'm a mintoholic, so this lipbalm is amust. heals very well and i like the cool tingly feeling one recieves after applying this product.
Love this stuff. It's especially great if you don't want anything too thick on your lips. Plus, the minty smell is always refreshing. However, I still prefer Lizard Lips lip balm.
I bought the Beeswax Lip Balm when I thought I lost the lip balm I am using right now that is from Japan called "Lip Baby" and compared to the really, really smooth and easy to apply Lip Baby, this lip balm feels so hard and waxy and hard to put on. However, compared to all the other American brand lip balm/chapstick, Burts Bees is a lot better.

With large pieces of shrimp and just enough cream, this soup is flavorful and light, yet filling enough to be a meal.
This recipe was featured as part of our Festivus menu.
- 1Peel shrimp, reserving shells. Coarsely chop shrimp into bite-size pieces, place in a medium container, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
- 2Place 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the foaming subsides, add onions, carrots, celery, and reserved shrimp shells and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are just tender and shells are pink but not browned, about 5 minutes.
- 3Increase heat to medium high and add tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaves; stir until vegetables are coated in tomato paste. Add water, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and keep at a lively simmer until broth has a shrimp flavor, about 30 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof container; set aside and discard solids.
- 4Wipe out any solids in the saucepan and return it to the stove over low heat. Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter and let melt. When butter foams, whisk in flour and cook, whisking frequently, until smooth and golden brown, about 4 minutes.
- 5Slowly whisk in Cognac, then reserved hot stock, whisking until smooth, and bring to a boil. Add cream, cayenne, and reserved shrimp and stir to combine. Simmer until flavors have melded and shrimp is cooked through but not tough, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.

Pennsylvanians Choose Monongahela As 2013 River Of The Year
HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Monongahela River, flowing through Green, Fayette, Washington, Westmoreland and Allegheny counties, has been named Pennsylvania's 2013 River of the Year following public, online voting across the state.
For the third year in a row, public voting determined the selection from among six candidates for River of the Year honors. Among 25,450 ballots cast, the Monongahela River received 8,156 votes.
"Like so many of our great state rivers once sullied by mine drainage and other pollution, the Monongahela is surging back as a vital link to unlimited recreational potential and rich natural and historical resources," Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Richard Allan said. "From the West Virginia border to the heart of Pittsburgh, visitors are rediscovering our newest River of the Year and the scores of historic town and villages it showcases."
Noting strong public participation in the 2013 voting process, Allan said, "This online format continues to generate local enthusiasm for conservation and recognition of the importance of our waterways.''
"Once again the River of the Year designation raises awareness of our rivers and their conservation needs." The five other finalists and total votes received were: Schuylkill River (8,010); Lackawanna River (5,286); Kiskiminetas River (2,310); Swatara Creek (1,213); and Juniata River (475). "All of these contenders were nominated because they are special and important in their own way," Allan said. "To the local groups who nominated these waterways and rallied support for them - not only for this vote, but through all of their continued activities and advocacy - we offer our heartiest congratulations." DCNR and the Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers, or POWR, administer the River of the Year program. Local organizations submit nominations.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I don't think he is a top 10 per se. I think he can get himself up in to the top 20 though and stay there. He was a very highly recruited kid out of highschool.
HIGH SCHOOL: Competed for prestigious Blair Academy during prep career ∙ Ranked third-best high school wrestler in the country at 145 pounds by Amateur Wrestling News ∙ Four-time state champion ∙ Part of national high school championship teams in 2005 and 2006 ∙ Integral member of national runners-up in 2007 and 2008 ∙ Four-time All-American ∙ 2006 Beast of the East tournament champion at 140 pounds ∙ Has competed at the prestigious Ironman Tournament ∙ Junior Nationals, Prep Nationals and Senior Nationals as a prep.
He was 14-2 this year with 1 pin, 3 majors and one tech fall. Still think he is growing in to this weight. He should do well and I think he is the kind of kid who will continue to improve throughout his career. With Deitchler and Schlatter in the room with him next year, I see him taking a step forward.

Wolf Harvest Update For Montana 2012
As of yesterday 11/14 wolf harvest numbers are slowly picking up.
As of yesterday 11/14 wolf harvest numbers are slowly picking up.
Almost everyone knows that we are smack dab in the middle of hunting season right now, but did you know that it is also the rut?
It has always been clear to me, that when the snow starts to fly, the elk start to appear. In my years of chasing after those damn critters, I have always had a better chance at bagging an elk after snow falls. Fingers crossed this winter storm might up my odds this weekend.
Montana hunters put a lot of effort, planning and miles into bringing home protein for their families. When a hunt is successful and you finally "punch your tag," it is a proud moment. To add to your satisfaction of a job well done, why not show off your trophy?
You have heard of mice, rats and even raccoon breaking into houses and helping themselves to whatever is in the fridge, but not deer. I have a hard enough time keeping co-workers from eating my leftovers. Now they are telling me I got to worry about deer breaking into the break room.
The first full week of open rifle season has passed and harvests for both mule deer and white-tailed deer are up 23% compared to last year. Elk harvests, on the other hand, are down by nearly the same amount
How do you feel about kids learning how to use guns?
Opening weekend of General Hunting season in Montana was a let down for me. I was unable to accomplish much due to other obligations. For me, missing opening day is sacrilegious. I was even more disappointed to find out that just about everyone in my hunting circle punched a tag this last weekend.
If you have a child, niece, nephew, grandchild or just a friend's kid, between the age of 12-15 years of age, then take them hunting tomorrow or Friday (10/18-10/19). Montana FWP have created a special head start for the youth of the state, by allowing them to take to the field before general season opens Saturday.
This Thursday and Friday, the two days before the general rifle hunting season have been set aside as the statewide youth deer hunt, according to Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks.
Speed goats exist. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, read up, this stuff is important.
So far, I have done everything I can to punch my elk tag this fall. After a couple unsuccessful archery hunting trips. I am looking ahead to the opener of rifle season in Montana. I know that my rifle is sighted in, due to the shot I made on my pronghorn antelope I bagged last weekend. Now all I need to do is pray I get within range of an elk, and I should be able to top off the freezer for the year.

Violet is the color of amethyst, lavender and beautyberries. It takes its name from the violet flower.[2][3]
In the color wheel historically used by painters, it is located between blue and purple. Violet light is at the higher end of the visible spectrum, with a wavelength ~380-450 nanometers[4] (in experiments under special conditions, people have so far seen to 310 nm).[5][6][7] Light with a shorter wavelength than violet but longer than X-rays and gamma rays is called ultraviolet.
In Europe and the United States, violet is the color most commonly associated with the extravagant, the individualist, ambiguity, the unconventional, and the artificial.[8] In China violet is associated with elegance and nobility; in Japan with purity, beauty and lucidity,[9] and as a given name 菫 (sumire, violet) can be written 紫花 "purple, flower", 純麗 "purity, lovely", 澄玲 "lucidity, sound of jewels", 澄麗 "lucidity, lovely". In Hinduism and Buddhism violet is associated with the Crown Chakra.[10]
From the Middle English and old French violette, and from the Latin viola, the names of the violet flower.[11] The first recorded use of violet as a color name in English was in 1370.[12] Violet can also refer to the first violas which were originally painted a similar color. In Arabic language Violet color is called Nile and the dye Nilege made from Viola flower (of the violet color) which was dominant on the shores of the Nile River, giving the Nile color as the name of the Nile river. the Violet shade of Blue is called Nili in Contemporary Arabic.
In the traditional color wheel used by painters, violet and purple are both placed between red and blue. Purple occupies the space closer to red, between crimson and violet.[13] Violet is closer to blue, and usually less intense and bright than purple.
From the point of view of optics, violet is a real color: it occupies its own place at the end of the visible spectrum, and was one of the seven spectral colors of the spectrum first described by Isaac Newton in 1672.
In the additive color system, used to create colors on a computer screen or on a color television, violet is simulated by purple, by combining blue light at high intensity with a less intense red light on a black screen. The range of purples is created by combining blue and red light of any intensities; the chromaticities formed this way line along the "line of purples".
While the scientific definition is clear, the cultural definitions are more varied. The color called purple by the French, pourpre, contains more red and half the amount of blue of the color called purple in the United States and the U.K..[14] In German, a more reddish color is sometimes called Purpurrot ("purple-red") to avoid confusion.
Violet is one of the oldest colors used by man. Traces of very dark violet, made by grinding the mineral manganese, mixed with water or animal fat and then brushed on the cave wall or applied with the fingers, are found in the prehistoric cave art in Pech Merle, in France, dating back about twenty-five thousand years. It has also been found in the cave of Altamira and Lascaux.[15] It was sometimes used an alternative to black charcoal. Sticks of manganese, used for drawing, have been found at sites occupied by Neanderthal man in France and Israel. From the grinding tools at various sites, it appears it may also have been used to color the body and to decorate animal skins. The mineral hematite, a red iron oxide, was also ground to produce a dark red-violet pigment by the artists of the paleolithic and neolithic periods.
More recently, the earliest dates on cave paintings have been pushed back farther than 35,000 years. Hand paintings on rock walls in Australia may be even older, dating back as far as 50,000 years.
Berries of the genus rubus, such as blackberries, were a common source of dyes in antiquity. The ancient Egyptians made a kind of violet dye by combining the juice of the mulberry with crushed green grapes. The Roman historian Pliny the Elder reported that the Gauls used a violet dye made from bilberry to color the clothing of slaves. These dyes made a satisfactory purple, but it faded quickly in sunlight and when washed.[16]
The most famous color of the ancient world was Tyrian purple, produced in Phoenicia, on the coast of modern day Lebanon, in the cities of Tyre and Sidon. it was made from two sea snails, the murex and the purpura. The process of making the dye was very delicate; the shells were first cracked, and the snails were soaked in a basin to allow them decompose, which made a horrible smell; then a tiny gland was removed and the juice extracted from the gland. The juice was placed in the sunlight, where it went through an extraordinary transformation; in the light it turned from milk white to yellow green, then to green, then to violet, then to a deep red violet-purple. The process had to be stopped at the exactly right moment, and then it was used to dye either wool or silk a magnificent and lasting color. Traces of the dye industry, including mountains of snail shells, dating back to 1500 BC, have been found at Ougarit and other sites in Lebanon.[17]
The process was extremely labor-intensive and expensive. When the German chemist Paul Friedander tried to recreate Tyrian purple in 2008, he needed twelve thousand mollusks to create 1.4 ounces of dye, enough to color a handkerchief. In the year 2000 a gram of Tyrian purple made from ten thousand mollusks according to the original formula, cost two thousand euro.[18][19]
The actual color of Tyrian purple seems to have varied from a reddish to a bluish purple. According to the Roman writer Vitruvius, (1st century BC), the murex coming from northern waters, probably murex brandaris, produced a more bluish color than those of the south, probably murex trunculus. The most valued shades were said to be those closer to the color of dried blood, as seen in the mosaics of the robes of the Emperor Justinian in Ravenna. The chemical composition of the dye from the murex is close to that of the dye from indigo, a slightly reddish blue, and indigo was sometimes used to make a counterfeit Tyrian purple, a crime which was severely punished. What seems to have mattered about Tyrian purple was not its color, but its lustre, richness, its resistance to weather and light, and most of all its high price.[20]
Tyrian purple became the color of kings, nobles, priests and magistrates all around the Mediterranean. In the Iliad of Homer, the belt of Ajax is purple, and the tails of the horses of Trojan warriors are dipped in purple. In the Odyssey, the blankets on the wedding bed of Odysseus are purple. In the poems of Sappho (6th century BC) she celebrates the skill of the dyers of the Greek kingdom of Lydia who made purple footwear, and in the play of Aeschylus (525–456 BC), Queen Clytemnestra welcomes back her husband Agamemnon by decorating the palace with purple carpets. In the Bible, it was described the color worn by the priests of Yahweh. In 950 BC, King Solomon was reported to have brought artisans from Tyre to provide purple fabrics to decorate the Temple of Jerusalem.[21]
In the Roman Republic, the togas of all citizens were bordered with a purple stripe. During a triumph, the general being honored wore an entirely purple toga bordered in gold. The commander of the army wore a purple cloak, called a paludamentum. During the Roman Empire, purple was reserved for the Emperors. The Emperor Caligula had a the King of Mauritania assassinated for wearing a purple mantle better than his own. Nero made it punishable by death for anyone else to wear the color. Later, the rulers of the Byzantine Empire continued the use of purple as the imperial color, for diplomatic gifts, and for imperial documents and the pages of the Bible. But with the gradual Arab conquest of the empire, the sources of the dye were cut off, and by the 9th century the technique of making the dye was largely forgotten.[22]

Tyrian purple was made from a sea snail called murex
Violet and purple retained their status of the color of Emperors and princes of the church throughout the long rule the Byzantine Empire. The Emperor Charlemagne was crowned wearing a mantle of Tyrian purple from Byzantium. Bishops of the Byzantine church wore white robes with stripes of purple, while government officials wore squares of purple fabric to show their rank. However, after the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, the color began to lose its imperial status. The great dye works of Constantinople were destroyed, and gradually scarlet, made with dye from the cochineal insect. began to be adopted as the royal color in Europe. In 1464, Pope Paul II decreed that cardinals should wear scarlet, rather than purple, since scarlet was considered a finer color. Bishops and archbishops, of a lower status than cardinals, were assigned the color purple, but not the rich Tyrian purple. They wore clothe of a mix of the less expensive indigo blue overlaid with scarlet from cochineal.[23]
While violet was worn less frequently by Medieval and Renaissance kings and princes, it was worn by the professors of many of Europe's new universities. Their robes were modeled after those of the clergy, and they often square violet caps and violet robes, or black robes with violet trim.
Violet also played an important part in the religious paintings of the Renaissance. Angels and the Virgin Mary were often portrayed wearing violet robes. The 17th-century Florentine painter Cennino Cennini advised artists: "If you wish to make a pretty violet color, take fine lac (red lake) and ultramarine blue, in equal parts." For fresco painters, he advised a less-expensive version, made of a mixture of blue indigo and red hematite.[24]

In the 18th century, violet was a color worn by royalty, aristocrats and the wealthy, and by both men and women. Good-quality violet fabric was expensive, and beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Many painters of the 19th century experimented with the uses of the color violet to capture the subtle effects of light. Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863) made use of violet in the sky and shadows of many of his works, such as his painting of a tiger.
A new synthetic pigment, cobalt violet (cobalt phosphate), appeared in the second half of the 19th century, broadening the palette of artists. Cobalt violet was used by Paul Signac (1863–1935), Claude Monet (1840–1926), and Georges Seurat (1859–1891).[25]
Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was an avid student of color theory. He used violet in many of his paintings of the 1880s, including his paintings of irises and the swirling and mysterious skies of his starry night paintings, and often combined it with it complementary color, yellow. In his painting of his bedroom in Arles (1888), he used several sets of complementary colors; violet and yellow, red and green, and orange and blue. In a letter about the painting to his brother Theo, he wrote, "The color here...should be suggestive of sleep and repose in general....The walls are a pale violet. The floor is of red tiles. The wood of the bed and the chairs are fresh butter yellow, the sheet and the pillows light lemon green. The bedspread bright scarlet. The window green. The bed table orange. The bowl blue. The doors lilac....The painting should rest the head or the imagination." [26]
In 1856, a young British chemist named William Henry Perkin was trying to make a synthetic quinine. His experiments produced instead an unexpected residue, which turned out to be the first synthetic aniline dye, a deep violet color called mauveine, or abbreviated simply to mauve (the dye being named after the lighter color of the mallow [mauve] flower). Used to dye clothes, it became extremely fashionable among the nobility and upper classes in Europe, particularly after Queen Victoria wore a silk gown dyed with mauveine to the Royal Exhibition of 1862. Prior to Perkin's discovery, mauve was a color which only the aristocracy and rich could afford to wear. Perkin developed an industrial process, built a factory, and produced the dye by the ton, so almost anyone could wear mauve. It was the first of a series of modern industrial dyes which completely transformed both the chemical industry and fashion.[27]

In the early 20th century, purple, green and white were the colors of the Women's Suffrage movement, which sought to win the right to vote for women. Later, in the 1970s, in a tribute to the Suffragettes, it became the color of the women's liberation movement.[28]
In the 1960s, it was also associated with hallucinogenic drugs, and with the music of Jimi Hendrix, particularly the 1967 song Purple Haze. Later, in the 1980s, it was featured in the song and album Purple Rain (1984) by the American musician Prince.
The violet or purple necktie became very popular at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, particularly among political and business leaders. It combined the assertiveness and confidence of a red necktie with the sense of peace and cooperation of a blue necktie, and it went well with the blue business suit worn by most national and corporate leaders.[citation needed]

Violet is at one end of the spectrum of visible light, between blue and the invisible ultraviolet. It has the shortest wavelength of all the visible colors. It is the color the eye sees looking at light with a wavelength of between 380 and 450 nanometers.
In the traditional color wheel used by painters, violet and purple lie between red and blue. Violet is inclined toward blue, while purple is inclined toward red.
Violet colors composed by mixing blue and red light are within the purple colors[29] (the word "purple" is used in the common sense for any color between blue and red). In color theory, a purple is a color along the line of purples on the CIE chromaticity diagram and excludes violet. Violet light from the rainbow, which can be referred as spectral violet, has only short wavelengths.
Violet objects are objects that reflect violet light. Objects reflecting spectral violet often appear dark, because human vision is relatively insensitive to those wavelengths. Monochromatic lamps emitting spectral-violet wavelengths can be roughly approximated by the color shown below as electric violet.
The earliest violet pigments used by humans, found in prehistoric cave paintings, were made from the minerals manganese and hematite. Manganese is still used today by the Aranda people, a group of indigenous Australians, as a traditional pigment for coloring the skin during rituals. It is also used by the Hopi Indians of Arizona to color ritual objects.
The most famous violet-purple dye in the ancient world was Tyrian purple, made from a type of sea snail called the murex, found around the Mediterranean.
In western Polynesia, residents of the islands made a violet dye similar to Tyrian purple from the sea urchin. In Central America, the inhabitants made a dye from a different sea snail, the purpura, found on the coasts of Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The Mayans used this color to dye fabric for religious ceremonies, and the Aztecs used it for paintings of ideograms, where it symbolized royalty.[30]
During the Middle Ages, most artists made purple or violet on their paintings by combining red and blue pigments; usually blue azurite or lapis-lazuili with red ochre, cinnabar or minium. They also combined lake colors made by mixing dye with powder; using woad or indigo dye for the blue, and dye made from cochineal for the red.[30]
Mixing of two different colors to dye clothing was considered unnatural and diabolic in Medieval times. Those who dyed blue fabric and red fabric were members of different guilds, and were forbidden to dye any other colors than those of their own guild. Most violet fabric was made by the dyers who worked with red, and who used dye from madder or cochineal, so Medieval violet colors were inclined toward red.
Orcein, or purple moss, was another common violet dye. It was known to the ancient Greeks and Hebrews, was made from a Mediterranean lichen called archil or dyer's moss (Roccella tinctoria), combined with an ammoniac, usually urine. Orcein began to achieve popularity again in the 19th century, when violet and purple became the color of demi-mourning, worn after a widow or widower had worn black for a certain time, before he or she returned to wearing ordinary colors.[31]
Violet dyes for the clothing of common people from the Middle Ages onward were also made from the blackberry or other red fruit of the genus rubus, or from the mulberry. All of these dyes were more reddish than bluish, and faded easily with washing and exposure to sunlight.
A popular new dye which arrived in Europe from the New World during the Renaissance was made from the wood of the logwood tree (Haematoxylum campechianum), which grew in Spanish Mexico. Depending on the different minerals added to the dye, it produced a blue, red, black or, with the addition of alum, a violet dye. It made a fine color, but, like earlier dyes, it did not resist sunlight or washing.
In the 18th century, chemists in England, France and Germany began to create the first synthetic dyes. Two synthetic purple dyes were invented at about the same time. Cudbear is a dye extracted from orchil lichens that can be used to dye wool and silk, without the use of mordant. Cudbear was developed by Dr Cuthbert Gordon of Scotland: production began in 1758, The lichen is first boiled in a solution of ammonium carbonate. The mixture is then cooled and ammonia is added and the mixture is kept damp for 3–4 weeks. Then the lichen is dried and ground to powder. The manufacture details were carefully protected, with a ten-feet high wall being built around the manufacturing facility, and staff consisting of Highlanders sworn to secrecy.
French purple was developed in France at about the same time. The lichen is extracted by urine or ammonia. Then the extract is acidified, the dissolved dye precipitates and is washed. Then it is dissolved in ammonia again, the solution is heated in air until it becomes purple, then it is precipitated with calcium chloride; the resulting dye was more solid and stable than other purples.
Cobalt violet is a synthetic pigment that was invented in the second half of the 19th century, and is made by a similar process as cobalt blue, cerulean blue and cobalt green. It is the violet pigment most commonly used today by artists.
Mauveine, also known as aniline purple and Perkin's mauve, was the first synthetic organic chemical dye,[32][33] discovered serendipitously in 1856. Its chemical name is 3-amino-2,±9-dimethyl-5-phenyl-7-(p-tolylamino)phenazinium acetate.
In the 1950s, a new family of violet synthetic organic pigments called quinacridone came onto the market. It had originally been discovered in 1896, but were not synthetized until 1936, and not manufactured until the 1950s. The colors in the group range from deep red to violet in color, and have the molecular formula C20H12N2O2. They have strong resistance to sunlight and washing, and are used in oil paints, water colors, and acrylics, as well as in automobile coatings and other industrial coatings.

Chelsea and Liverpool feel the heat
LONDON (AFP) - Chelsea's clash with Liverpool this weekend was always going to be a significant encounter in the Premier Leage title race but a difficult week has raised the stakes involved for both clubs. It may only be six weeks into the new season, but both Rafael Benitez and Carlo Ancelotti know that a defeat at Stamford Bridge on Sunday will represent a significant blow to their prospects of wresting the title away from Manchester United. Having lost twice already this season, Liverpool travel south with less margin for error than their hosts and with morale dampened by the poor display that led to a 2-0 defeat at Fiorentina in midweek. Ancelotti, who only speaks Italian to his squad when he is angry, has had to call on his mother tongue twice in the last week. The former AC Milan coach was almost as unimpressed by a laboured 1-0 victory at Apoel Nicosia in midweek as he was by last Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Wigan, which ended his perfect start to life in London. Predictably, the noises from both camps have all been about the need to put things right on Sunday. "We have to be better against Liverpool," Chelsea skipper John Terry acknowledged. "They will be up for it and they are a big club, so we will have to respond again when we play them." The corresponding fixture last season saw Liverpool end Chelsea's 86-match unbeaten run at Stamford Bridge but more recent history is less encouraging for Benitez, who watched his side get overrun in midfield and look distinctly shaky at the back in Florence. Javier Mascherano's return from injury should bolster the protection offered to the back four but Benitez must be contemplating breaking up the centreback partnership of Jamie Carragher and Martin Skrtel that has looked shaky of late, particularly as Daniel Agger is ready for a return following close-season back surgery. Whatever he decides, Benitez has made it clear he is expecting a significant improvement. "I believe you will see a different Liverpool in the Chelsea match," he said. "A totally different performance with a different mentality." Reds skipper Steven Gerrard echoed that theme. "We need to get the defeat in Florence out of our system quickly, because it's a massive game at Chelsea," he said. "We need to produce a reaction." Chelsea's defeat at Wigan enabled Manchester United to top the table for the first time this season and the champions will expect to stay there after the return of old boy Steve Bruce and his Sunderland squad to Old Trafford on Saturday. United appear to be hitting form with the remarkable form of Ryan Giggs compensating for the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid. Ronaldo's departure has also resulted in Wayne Rooney being deployed regularly in a central striking role and the England foward believes improved team-work is helping to compensate for the loss of the world player of the year. "Obviously last season the team was based a lot around Cristiano but this year there's a few more players chipping in with goals, which is great to see."

Tony Hawk
I agree, Limbo is a great game, if you play through it in one setting with the sound turned up and the lights dimmed down, you can really get drawn into its simple atmosphere and sound...But that really begs the question, just what does the little boy and his sister represent? As for Tony Hawk...shame on you, Project 8 D: THPS3 is in my opinion the greatest and best in terms of soundtrack, skaters, levels and (please forgive me) graphics and realism. After it, the series went very quickly downhill apart from THUG.
I loved Project 8. I've played all of them but Proving Ground and THUG 2, THPS3 is my favorite by far, though. I played that so much to unlock all the stuff that I can still do a lot of the levels to 100% completion in one run. Also, Wolverine and Darth Maul.
I actually liked American Wasteland. It had too much Green Day and the visual style as a whole was a step in the wrong direction, but starting that skate park from scratch and the no-loading open-world skating was brilliant, I though. I was always excited when I got cool pieces to put in my skate park.

Bruce poised for Sunderland after Mancini agent denies contact
Roberto Mancini will not become the next Sunderland manager after his agent denied reports that the Barclays Premier League club have made an approach for the former Inter Milan boss, paving the way for firm favourite Steve Bruce to take over the reigns. The Italian coach was quoted yesterday as saying he had been offered the chance to take over at the Stadium of Light, and hinted he would relish the opportunity to return to football after a 12-month absence. But to the contrary his agent, Giorgio De Giorgis, insisted Sunderland had not been in touch. 'Mancini is aware of those reports. But we have not received an offer, nor have we been in touch with anyone from Sunderland,' he said.

Tranzyme Pharma's DIGEST Trial Stopped For Futility After Interim Analysis Of The Phase 2b Results
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Dec. 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tranzyme Pharma (Nasdaq:TZYM) today announced it is discontinuing and immediately ending patient enrollment in DIGEST, a Phase 2b trial in diabetic patients receiving TZP-102 for the management of symptoms of gastroparesis, due to insufficient efficacy. The decision followed a planned interim futility analysis, which examined patients' responsiveness to thrice daily oral dosing of 10mg of TZP-102 or placebo at the end of weeks 4 and 8 of a 12 week trial. The results are consistent with the findings of a prior Phase 2b trial in that there was a very large placebo effect and no treatment effect.

Okay, I'll start with the bad one:
Watching one episode was enough to convince me that this show sucks. The characters are annoying, the animation is crap, and even the names of the main characters make me feel a little uncomfortable: SwaySway and Buhdeuce? What kind of names are those?
In other words: I hate Breadwinners. I tried to like it, but I just can't! Breadlosers would be a more appropriate title.
Seriously, the Modifyers gets rejected, but THIS gets green-lit?!
Now for the good one:
Clarence, however, seems like it's gonna be a fun show… We're just a few episodes in, but I hope it'll be a decent show.
Clarence is about this kid named Clarence and how he usually spends his days. Clarence lives with his mother Mary, and has two best friends: Sumo, a bald crazy kid, who looks a lot like Beavis from Beavis and Butthead and Jeff, a nervous kid. There's also Amy Gillis, whom I hope will be a recurring character, and Clarence's rival: Belson, a grumpy kid, who looks like a cross between Benson from Regular Show and Heat Miser from The Year Without a Santa Claus. Oh, and he also has a little Bert from Sesame Street in him…
Good Things:
- The show's funny and has the same charm to it as Steven Universe, Adventure Time and even Regular Show
Bad Things:
- Can't really say anything here. Nothing bad happened in the show yet…
Favorite character:
- Sumo: I think Sumo's a funny one. I may be the only one who thinks this, but he looks like a bald kid version of Beavis. Another reason why I like Sumo, is because he doesn't mind playing with female action figures (You hear that, CN?!): in the segment "Fun Dungeon Face Off", Jeff gave Sumo his fast-food toy he didn't want: a cow girl in a dress, which Sumo loved playing with. What makes it even better, is that Sumo is voiced by Tom Kenny, the same guy who voiced such characters as the Mayor, Snake and Lil' Arturo in Powerpuff Girls, Ice King in Adventure Time, the Transformers Animated incarnation of Starscream and a certain yellow sponge…
- Clarence's Mom Mary: I like Mary too, because she's a good mother to Clarence. If I ever make another Top 10 Moms meme, I'm putting her there too.
- Amy Gillis: A cool tomboy. Clarence loved to hang out with her. I hope she'll be a recurring character.
- Belson: He may be grumpy, but he's not a total jerk… I think he's on the same level as Benson, Ren, Helga or Zorak: grumpy, but you still like them.
Least favorite character:
- Nobody (yet)
So overall, I think Clarence is going to be a good show, while Breadwinners sucks. 10 points for Cartoon Network, 0 for Nickelodeon.

Biodiversity –Agriculture – Traditional Knowledge
Preserving endangered foods, providing support to small-scale producers and creating new, local markets is Slow Food's unique approach to preserving agricultural biodiversity in a world where less than 30 species of plants provide food for more than 95% of the world's population. In addition, our events, educational activities and campaigns being held every day by volunteers and Terra Madre food communities are teaching people how to make food choices which are better for our environment. Since 1996, Slow Food has added more than 800 endangered traditional foods to the Ark of Taste catalogue. This has led to the creation of 300 Presidia– sustainable food production – projects across 46 countries. Presidia bring together small groups of producers who receive training on protocol development for sustainable food production and distribution. Currently, 10,000 producers are involved in Presidia projects in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and, in Latin America. By supporting sustainable agriculture, we not only avoid environmental problems associated with conventional agriculture, but we also prevent other destructive land-uses for short-term gains. For example, by increasing the quality of their production, farmers from the National Cacao Presidium in Amazonian Ecuador have ensured that their community will not sell land to logging or mining companies, as was foreseeable. Slow Food projects follow the belief that the best agriculture for many of the poorest regions of the world is one that does not ignore the wisdom of local communities and is in harmony with the ecosystems that surround them. Indigenous people play a critical role in showing the way to preserve biodiversity and protect ecosystems. These guardians of traditional knowledge are given a voice through our Terra Madre network, and are able to exchange information with researchers and share with youth best practices for protecting landscapes and environments. Maori Organic Producers food community - New Zealand
I am concerned about the social and ecological pathways we are taking. The concepts used by Slow Food relate to our own Maori philosophy of sustainability. I believe there is a place for Maori science and knowledge and other indigenous wisdoms. My evaluation from what I have witnessed at Terra Madre is that the future of humanity and the natural world as industrialization of food, assisted by western science, overlooks the conservation of the ecological integrity of our indigenous products as we have experienced in Aotearoa (NZ). We are working to promote the concept of Slow Food in Aotearoa.

Some changes made to 2014 acreage reporting dates

"People have the right to rest one day per week. Am I not a human being? Don't I have a family?" Orlandini says. "The law should mandate a day off."
But for Mauro Bussoni, the vice director of Confesercenti and the coordinator of the "Free Sunday" campaign, the problem is more systemic. "This measure favors certain retailers," he says.
Deregulation hasn't increased sales, and it has only increased costs for small businesses, since putting together shifts during the holidays is easier for big stores, which are more able to pay the extra costs, including overtime, Mr. Bussoni argues.
Bussoni says he fears that without regulation of the days and hours stores can operate, a competition will emerge in which only the fittest survive at the expense of mom-and-pop operations, which are already being hit hard by the recession. Istat, Italy's statistics bureau, recently reported that retail sales for October 2012 were 3.8 percent lower than in October 2011. The process, he says, would change the face of Italian cities, threatening the quality of life of people, such as senior citizens, who rely on neighborhood stores.
The campaign's organizers argue it's more than a matter of competing business models, but defending the right of workers and shop owners to spend time with their families.
"On Sunday, leave us alone," says Mina Giannandrea, a shop owner and the president of FEDERstrade, a Rome retailers' association that's also participating in the campaign. "People who shop on Sunday are selfish; they don't think about those who have to work on Sunday," Ms. Giannandrea says.
The importance of family time is the message that has perhaps resonated the most with the Catholic Church, which has thrown its support behind the campaign.
"Freedom without truth, without a higher end is mere caprice," said Archbishop Giancarlo Bregantini, stressing the importance of a day of rest as mandated by the Bible in an interview with Vatican Radio.

More often than not, it is a lack of energy with me. Sometimes I can throw in the lack of clarity as well which will make me have that feeling of being overwhelmed. I have found that for both of these, reflection helps.
