The sweetest basketball team ever, they got past the 1st and 2nd round last year and we have an owsome line-up with Trenton Hassell, Troy Hudsen, Ervin Johnson, Mad Dog Mark Madsen, the Candy Man Michael Olowokandi, the Mayor Fred Hoiberg, and welcome to Walley's World with Wally Szczerbiak; and we got the big three: Sam Cassell, Latrell Sprewell Spree, and The Kid, The Big Ticket, and reigning MVP, Kevin Garnett.
The Minneosta Timberwolves are going to be the best damn basketball team ever.

A group of three or more women who are nice enough when alone and away from their pack, but when put together are ruthless and have no regard for how they act or how they treat people around them. They are very protective of their fellow wolves. Timber Wolves usually make awesome drinking buddies if you can get close enough.
Some Guy: Man, check out those Timber Wolves dancing in a circle around their purses.
Some Dude: I am so going to buy that blonde a drink.
Some Guy: DON'T DO IT BRO!! They look like man eaters buddy.

Working with the Postbox Interface - Part 2
December 12, 2013In Part 1 we covered the various Postbox interface elements related to viewing your emails. In Part Two, we're going to look at the elements related to composing email: Quick Reply and the Composition Window.
Quick Reply
One thing you may have noticed when viewing your email is the small text field at the bottom of received emails labeled Quick Reply. Just as its name implies, this is a quick and easy way to reply to emails without opening a composition window. Simply click within the text field and it will immediately expand, giving you room to compose your response. If the email contained multiple recipients, you'll see Reply to All in light letters at the upper right corner of the expanded text field. Click it if you want your reply sent to all the original recipients.
Additionally, you can opt to convert a Quick Reply to a normal reply within a Composition Window by clicking the New Window icon in the upper right corner.
Composition Window
Postbox includes a standard composition window containing addressing options such as From, To, CC, etc. If you want to use BCC, select BCC from the View menu.
The Formatting Toolbar lies between the Subject and Body fields. These options give you the ability to compose emails containing formatted text, add links, or view the HTML source.
If you're an email purist who believes plain text is the only acceptable format, don't worry, we have you covered. Simply click the View > Formatting Toolbar menu to hide all formatting options. You'll also want to go to Preferences > Accounts > [your account] > Composition and uncheck the box labeled Compose Messages in HTML Format.
Another unique feature is the Compose Sidebar, accessible via the button labeled Sidebar in the upper right corner of the composition window. The Compose Sidebar gives you quick access to addresses, attachments and pictures hiding within your mail store. Recent files are immediately listed, while other files can be quickly found with the built-in search field.
Postbox Compose works exceptionally well with Topics. If you have a Topic selected in the Focus Pane when you open Compose, the outbound message will automatically inherit the Topic. From there, all replies to this message will also inherit the Topic, which keeps you from having to re-tag replies as they come in.
As with other aspects of Postbox, there are a wealth of features, both basic and advanced, at your disposal. Which ones do you rely on?

Acrochordons are harmless skin growths that appear to hang off the skin. They are more commonly known as skin tags. Acrochordons are benign and don't require treatment. If necessary, they can be removed by your doctor.
Acrochordons consist of collagen fibers and blood vessels that are surrounded by a thin layer of skin. It is not clear what causes them.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your risk of getting acrochordons include:
- Skin chafing and irritation
- Pregnancy
- Acromegaly
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
- Obesity
- Insulin resistance
- Type 2 diabetes
Acrochordons usually appear as flesh-colored skin growths. They are generally small, but can range in size from 1 millimeter to 5 centimeters in diameter. They are often found in folds of the skin. They don't cause symptoms, even after they appear.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Most acrochordons can be diagnosed without invasive tests. In some cases, a skin biopsy may be necessary to rule out other skin conditions.
Most of the time, no treatment is needed and the acrochordons can be monitored. The acrochordons should be removed if they are bothering you, or if your doctor is concerned about a different skin condition.
Removal options include the following:
- Cryosurgery
- Surgical removal
- Electrosurgery
- Ligation

Old World monkeys are primates and are more closely related to humans and apes than any other living nonhuman primate group. The Smithsonian Institution's Division of Mammals (http://vertebrates.si.edu/mammals/) houses many Old World monkeys in its scientific collections.
This specimen, USNM 113170 (http://collections.mnh.si.edu/search/mammals/?irn=7243261), is a male silvery lutung (Trachypithecus cristatus cristatus) from Indonesia. This individual was collected in 1901 by William Abbott near Indragiri River on the island of Sumatra. This individual weighed 15.25 lbs, had a total length of 1270 mm, a tail length of 750 mm, and a head to body length of 520 mm.
This is a CT scan of the cranium of USNM 113170. These three-dimensional scans are made publicly available through the generous support of the Smithsonian 2.0 Fund, provided from the annual gifts of the Smithsonian National Board to the Secretary to use at his discretion (http://smithsonian20.si.edu/fund.html), and the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.
The main goal of this joint initiative between the Human Origins Program and the Division of Mammals is to make the NMNH's scientific collections of our closest living nonhuman primate relatives available in 3D for education and research.

Essentially meaning 'I'm just saying', 'just casually' is most often placed at the end of a sentence, often preluded by an idea or statement that is commonly accepted as truth. As a result, it is most often used following an observation. 'Just casually' is a light phrase that connotates feelings of ease to others, as it often has the effect of putting less emphasis on the matter/issue at hand.
Kim Kardashian is totally hot, I would so do her if I could, just casually.

Munchlax has a teal-colored body with a cream-colored spot on its chest. Its round head is teal in the top half and cream on the bottom half. It has big, round eyes and large pointy ears. It has five-fingered hands and cream-colored feet with three clawed toes.
Special abilities
Munchlax has the same abilities as Snorlax, only it is much weaker. It can learn many different moves with TMs such as SolarBeam, Thunder, Focus Punch, and Brick Break.
In the anime, Munchlax first appeared in Destiny Deoxys, where it evolved into a Snorlax to stay afloat in the Block Bot flood, making it the first Generation IV Pokémon to appear in the anime. May currently owns a Munchlax, which she captured in Berry, Berry Interesting. A trainer named Kylie owns a Munchlax, which was seen in A Full Course Tag Battle!.
In the Manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Diamond owns a Munchlax, which was his first Pokémon and is often seen eating with him. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!, a Collector, Ruin Maniac, Psychic and Galactic Grunt are all searching for a Munchlax, which is said to be very rare. Its Pickup ability takes Hareta's Pokédex but Munchlax returns it later
Munchlax evolves into Snorlax with a high friendship level.
Game Info
Munchlax can only be found in Diamond and Pearl if you interact with Honey Trees. Even then, there is only a 1% chance to find a Munchlax. In Pokémon Black and White Version in Driftveil City a man will trade you a Munchlax for a Cinccino.
You can also breed Snorlax with Full Incense attached.

See all my reviews
Comments about Felco #8 Right-handed Ergonomic Pruner:
These pruners are very durable. I have used the same pair for the past 10 years without problems. They have surpassed any other brand I have tried. They are not so good for softer tissue things like flower leafs or liriope blades, but work very well for woodier tissue.
Great Product.

2nd pair
By relaxin john
from tennessee
This is the second Felco #8 pruner I have ordered from Gemplers. Why the second one? I ran over the other pair with the lawn mower which destroyed that pruner. Otherwise I would still be using that pair after many many years.

Test Overview
A venogram is an X-ray test that takes pictures of blood flow through the veins in a certain area of the body.
During a venogram, a special dye (contrast material) is put into your veins so they can be seen clearly on an X-ray picture. A venogram looks at the condition of your veins and the valves in your veins.
A venogram can show the veins in your legs, pelvis, or arm; the veins leading to the heart; or the veins leaving your kidneys. It can show normal blood flow and blood flow blocked by a blood clot (thrombus).
Why It Is Done
Venography might be done to:
- Check the blood flow in veins.
- Find the right placement in blood vessels for medical devices such as filters.
How To Prepare
You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for several hours before the test. You might be allowed to drink clear liquids on the day of the test. Tell your doctor about all of the medicines, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. You may need to stop taking some medicines or supplements for a while before the test.
Before a venogram, tell your doctor if you:
- Are or might be pregnant.
- Are allergic to any medicines, contrast material, food, or iodine dye.
- Have bleeding problems or take blood-thinning medicines, such as aspirin, heparin, or warfarin (Coumadin).
- Have asthma.
- Have had kidney problems.
- Have diabetes, especially if you take metformin (Glucophage).
You will be asked to sign a consent form that says you understand the risks of the test and agree to have it done.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results may mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
A venogram usually is done in a hospital X-ray department by a radiologist and an X-ray technologist. A nurse may also be present.
Before the test
Take off all jewelry and metal objects before the test. You will need to take off all or most of your clothes. You will be given a gown to use during the test. You may be asked to urinate just before the test begins.
You will lie on an X-ray table. A tilting X-ray table is usually used when studying the legs. Safety straps will help you lie still if the table is tilted.
During the test
For a leg venogram, you will be asked to relax the leg and keep it still during the X-rays. An elastic band will be put around your leg or ankle to make the veins of the foot fill with blood. The dye will be put in a vein (IV) on the top of your foot.
If the veins in your pelvis are studied, the dye may be placed in a vein in your groin. For an arm venogram, the dye will be put into a vein on the top of your hand or in your arm.
After the dye is put in, a series of X-rays is taken of each section of the arm or leg or pelvis. Your arm or leg may be placed in several different positions so that X-rays from different views can be taken. If your doctor is placing an intravenous (IV) line, X-rays will be taken as the line is put in to help guide it to the correct position.
After the X-rays are taken, your arm or leg will be raised. A sterile salt solution (saline) may be put into the vein to help flush out the dye. Heparin, a blood thinner, may be put into the vein to prevent a blood clot. A small bandage will be placed on the IV site.
This test usually takes 30 to 90 minutes.
After the test
Drink extra fluids after the test to help flush the dye out of your body.
How It Feels
You will feel a quick sting or pinch when the numbing medicine is given. When the dye is put into the vein, you may feel a warm flush or have a metallic taste in your mouth.
You may feel like your arm or leg is going to sleep during the test. This goes away after the test.
There is some risk of problems with a venogram.
- There is a small risk of developing an allergic reaction to the dye.
- There is a small risk of infection or damage to the veins being studied. In rare cases, a venogram can cause a deep vein thrombosis.
- There is a risk of kidney problems if you take metformin (Glucophage) to control your diabetes.
- There is always a slight chance of damage to cells or tissue from radiation, including the low levels of radiation used for this test. But the chance of damage from the X-rays is usually very low compared with the benefits of the test.
After the test
In rare cases, a venogram can cause an infection or a blood clot in the area studied. Call your doctor immediately if you have:
- A fever.
- Increasing pain, redness, or swelling in the arm or leg studied.
A venogram is an X-ray test that takes pictures of the blood flow through the veins in a certain area of the body.
Normal test results show that the dye moved quickly and evenly through the veins. Abnormal test results show that the flow of dye was slowed or blocked. This might mean that a blood clot, or another problem such as damage in the vein, is blocking or slowing blood flow.1
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Pregnancy. A venogram is not usually done during pregnancy because the radiation from the X-rays could harm the unborn baby (fetus).
- The inability to stay still during the test.
Arm or leg venogram
- Putting any weight on the leg being tested may stop the dye from moving through the leg veins properly.
- Moving your arm or leg may affect how the dye moves.
- In rare cases, foot veins are too small to put the dye into for the test.
What To Think About
Venograms are not done often. Other tests are used more commonly to check the health of veins. These include Doppler ultrasound, CT venography (CTV), and magnetic resonance venography.

"We will intuitively
know how to handle situations which used to
baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us
what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They
are being fulfilled among us — sometimes quickly, sometimes
slowly. They will always materialize if we work
for them.'
~ page 84, Alcoholics Anonymous
Sometims quckly. Sometimes slowly. Most often, for me? Inrementally!
One of my thoughts that I would constantly use to clobber myself was: "I'm just not getting this fast enough! I need to change now! I can't wait! I need to recover faster! Why aren't I making ANY progress?"
Then, my sponsor would gently remind me... "Your problems didn't happen over-night, and the solution most often doesn't happen over-night either." He said "You've spent years creating some of these problems -- and, it's unrealistic to expect them to vanish over-night." Often, he would follow through with something like, "Did you drink today?" And, I'd reply, "Of course not!" Then, he'd say "Well. I call that progress. How about you?" I could see his point... but more than once my response was... "but, but, but, but..." this or that!
Then, he'd come off with a question like: "Are you aware of how the inside of an asshole communicates with the outside world?" "Butt, butt, butt... do you want to appear like an asshole communicating with the outside world? If not -- then, I suggest you get off your buts!"
He went on to say, "For me, my changes have been incremental. Very slowly. Often, painfully slow. However, over time, the changes did materialise -- as long as I was working for them. That's the only thing you're expected to do. To work for them. And, as long as you're working for them, these things shall pass. Sometimes quickly. Sometimes slowly. Most often -- incrementally."
He said, "you look at the big things that you see happening in life -- and, you don't consider the slow, painful, and incremental days, weeks, months, and sometimes years of little tiny details, that led them to becoming a big thing."
I then, discovered, by observation, that I often referred to the "ANY" as my judgement of the facts of my reality. My life-thinking was governed by "ALL or NOTHING" -- "ANY or NONE" -- "SUCCESS or FAILURE". Black and white. Right or wrong. No colors. No shades of gray. Perfection or nothing. Progress, especially if it was miniscule -- was not a reality of moving forward, it was still my evidence that proved nothing at ALL!
I began to keep a little pocket notebook, and each time I noticed that I was using my "ALL or NOTHING" thinking... or the "ANY or NOTHING" thinking.... I would write it down in my little notebook.
When a time was convenient and I could relax, I'd go over my notes. And, as I'd go over my notes, I'd ask myself questions like: "Dallas, you said that you were totally broke" ... "did you have any money at all?" And, my answer would invariable be: "Yes. I did have SOME money..." So, the conclusion was: "I was wrong. I wasn't "totally broke" and I wasn't even "broke"... because I did have SOME money. (Just not enough of it!)
I discovered a number of areas in my life where I was doing the same thing. When someone would say something that would turn out to be wrong... I would have a frequent tendency to conclude, "That person lied to me! They're ALWAYS lieing to me!!!"
Then, I'd ask myself "ALWAYS?"
And, I'd follow it up with: "Have they EVER told me the truth?" If they had told me just one simple tiny truth... then, I was wrong about it... they were not ALWAYS being dishonest with me.
As I began to take the effort to notice these small things that I was saying to myself... and trying to work towards changing them... I began to see larger changes in my life. I was finally able to see that I REALLY WAS making SOME progress! I wasn't ALL bad... because of some little things. And, life was not ALL bad... because of the tiny or the large things! There was ALWAYS -- something.... that was good!
Once I began to change a little bit, and became able to see the little bits of good... I began to see more of the good.
I learned that in my little world... the things that I would think about... seemed to be automatically manifesting themselves in my life. When my focus was on the negative... and the ALL or NOTHING... I would manifest more negativity and experience more of the nothing! And, the nothing... would slowly grow into big somethings... that I didn't like!
Then, I discovered another little trick to add to my tiny bag of "Magic Tricks for Living"... it was: "Keep my mind focused on what I want and off of what I don't want... and I'll automatically end up with more of what I want!" Simple. Easy. Something small, that I could work on. Something small that I could do... that eventually began to change "One Thought At A Time" in my thinking! And, as my thinking changed... my world began to express and demonstrate the change!

Comments about Trango STONEWEAR DESIGNS Women's Solace Top:
This top from Stonewear Designs was advertized as "we are bringing the original ladder-back top back!". I have several Stonewear Designs tank tops, I used to have their ladder-back top, and loved it.
So, when this design "came back" I HAD to have it. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. This tank top fits more like a tunic (see photo). Other than the bra part, is is very, very loose. Looks pretty, but if you plan to wear it while doing upside-down yoga poses, or while climbing, you will not be happy with the hem flipping over your face and sliding all over, or the fabric bunching under your harness like a peasant blouse.
It is a nice top, the back straps look sexy, the fabric is high quality, and, unlike the original ladder-back top, or other Stonewear tops, it comes with lined bra cups, making for a smooth no-nipple-showing look.
Unfortunately, the loose-tunic design makes it less useful for the kind of activities that Stonewear clothes are SUPPOSED to be for. If you want to wear it while dancing, or when you are out for a stroll or a jog, you will be happy with it.
But I bought it for climbing, and it is not what I needed or wanted. Too bad!

Adrienne H.MDHairDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairBest Walmart Blow Dryer Ever!!My mom bought this blow dryer for us 4+ yeaaarsss ago because our Gold n Hot one stopped working years after we had that one. So in desperate need of a blow dryer my mom bought this one. The look of it is different that what it is now but its the same product. But I never knew a cheap blow dryer like this can get so hot and dry my hair super quick! The only con about it is the cord is too short. The little retractor is great; allows me to not have to wrap the cord a certain way without damaging it. But man I love this blow dryer, better than my Conair Yellow Bird. Forget buying a $100+ blow dryer, im sticking to this cheap thing!posted Apr 18, 2014Link to this post
CynthiaAlbuquerque, NMHairLight BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairBest Feature Broken In One WeekThe hair dryer has enough power, but left my hair loaded with static. The folding feature is nice, although not easy to do. My favorite feature, the retractable cord, no longer works after just one week of use. Back it goes.posted Jan 27, 2014Link to this post
SusanNew YorkHairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairTerrific Hair Dryer!!!!!!!This is a great Hair Dryer, it is lightweight, folds for storage, has a cord keeper and does a fabulous, quick and easy job of drying very wet hair, without any drying damage.

AshleyGeorgiaHairBlondeDry HairThick or Coarse HairEasy To Use And Takes Up Hardly Any Space!I love this thing because it does not take up any room! You just fold it in half and the cord is retractable and there you go! I thought it would be heavy but its not too bad. Its slightly heavier than the travel dryer I was using before but works MUCH better! And I have very long hair so it takes a while to dry but it dosent kill my arm at the same time! I love all of the settings on this dryer and I love that it is pink! It also comes with some cute tools to attatch! SO if you are looking for a good dryer but dont want to pay an arm and a leg for one, then you should get this!!!posted Jan 3, 2012Link to this post

Environmental Epigenomics and Susceptibility for Developmental Disorders: Findings from the Keystone Symposium
By Guest Blogger, Jennifer T. Wolstenholme, PhD, Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, working with two Autism Speaks-funded researchers, Emile Rissman, Ph.D. and Jennifer Connelly, Ph.D.
In recent work in our lab, we have established a mouse model for gestational exposure to an endocrine disrupting compound, bisphenol A (BPA), at human physiological levels. We asked if a low BPA dose ingested during pregnancy (20 ug BPA/kg body weight/day) would affect the social behaviors of the juvenile offspring mice. In addition, we continued to breed the mice from these litters to ask if these effects could be transmitted to future generations that were not directly exposed to dietary BPA. We also examined a handful of genes known to be affected by BPA or involved in social behaviors to determine if BPA also changed the expression of these genes in the brain during embryogenesis. The take home message is this: we do not know if exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals causes any neurobiological disorders, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, the data are interesting enough to cause us and others to continue to test the hypothesis that exposure to BPA during gestation may result in modified social behaviors in juvenile mice.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a man-made compound used to make polycarbonate plastics (i.e. food and water containers), epoxy resins (i.e. canned food linings) and thermal register receipts. Human exposure to this chemical is wide spread and nearly unavoidable as it has been detected in urine in 90% of all humans sampled [1, 2]. Public health concerns have been fueled by findings that BPA exposure can reduce sex differences both behaviorally and in the brain. In rats and mice, perinatal exposure to BPA is associated with aggressive behavior, cognitive impairments, increased novelty seeking and impulsivity [3-5]. BPA can also influence social interactions and anxiety in rodents [6-10]. This list of associations have suggested to some that BPA may be somehow related to human neurological disorders, such as ASD. However, such a conclusion at this time is premature.
Many laboratories have suggested that BPA exposure disrupts normal brain development and behaviors through its actions on the steroid receptors [18, 19]. BPA acts as an analog of steroid hormones. Steroid hormones organize the brain during neonatal development [11-13]. BPA has steroid-like properties and binds estrogen receptors, (ERa, ERb [14]), as well as androgen and thyroid receptors [15-17].
In addition to steroid-related effects, BPA may have even more global actions as it can alter DNA methylation [20]. Dysregulation of DNA methylation during critical developmental windows could disrupt the normal progression of brain and endocrine system development causing robust changes in the developing embryo that can persist into adulthood or even beyond if effects extend to germ cells that later serve reproduction as sperm or egg cells. Embryonic development is a particularly sensitive period, specifically when the body's germ line cells undergo epigenetic programming and experience a wave of DNA de-methylation and re-methylation.
Skinner et al. have shown trans-generational effects for several endocrine disrupting compounds, but at much higher doses than humans are typically exposed [21, 22]. Specifically, endocrine disruptors found in plastics, pesticides, hydrocarbons and herbicides can affect embryonic testes development and lead to deficits in sperm production in adulthood. These effects are trans-generational in rodents directly exposed to these chemicals during gestation (F1 generation) and through to the great, great grandchildren (F2, F3 and F4 generations).
We use a paradigm in which inbred female mice are placed on control diet free of any phytoestrogens, or control diet with BPA (5mg BPA per kg diet). This diet produced BPA blood levels equivalent to those reported in humans. A week after the start of the diet females were mated. At birth, pups were fostered to control dams to limit BPA's effect only to gestation. Three generations of offspring were tested for social behaviors at 21 days after birth.
BPA exposure had effects on several social and non-social behaviors and some of these differences between mice on control and BPA-containing diets persisted over generations. The great, great grandchildren of the BPA lineage (the F4 generation) were never directly exposed to dietary sources of BPA, yet social interactions resembled those of mice exposed during gestation. Some of these behavioral effects are correlated with different levels of gene expression in the brains of mice directly exposed to BPA compared to mice that were never exposed to dietary BPA. More work needs to be done to discover if the relationships between the affected genes and the behavioral changes are causal. Since exposure to BPA appears to alter social interactions in young mice, this compound may contribute to the risk of developing neurological disorders such as autism spectrum disorders, but further studies, especially in humans are needed to show a causal relationship.

The really critical part to understand are the words "MAY" and "FURTHER STUDIES NEEDED..IN HUMANS"
this compound may contribute to the risk of developing neurological disorders such as autism spectrum disorders, but further studies, especially in humans are needed to show a causal relationship.
What this study does not say is "panic about BPA"
April 19, 2011 at 8:52 pm
May, may, may, may. If the study is good enough for mice, it's good enough for me. Granted my scientific threshold is low, but welcome to ASD-mother think. We do not have 10 years to wait and I am telling young woman I know (and have been for quite a while).
So Jennifer, Emile and Jennifer, I am going to be snarky here and you certainly don't deserve it, in fact, you deserve our respect and admiration (meant sincerely). But let's be real – are you going to eat off of BPA (and phthalates for that matter) when you're pregnant? Are you going to invest in wooden toys for your wee ones? Is your baby only going to drink out of glass bottles?
All my baby/pregnancy gifts come from here (though, that is not exactly how they market themselves :) )…
Life Without Plastic
http://lifewithoutplastic.com/boutique/And, Jennifer, Emile and Jennifer, while you are working at protecting your body – please, please invest in a non-flame-retardant organic mattress.
So, in all seriousness, well done with the mice. But let's be real, what human-infant-pregnancy studies are going pass the university ethics board?
So, please spread the word load and clear right now.

Once again I really wish this meeting had been available on the web for parents to see.
More importantly I wish a diverse body of ASD parents had been invited to participate and ask questions. I hear a lot about the importance of translational research but where are the translators?
Thank you for the discussion of BPA. It is an important issue for all children, not only those with autism. I don't think further research needs to be done to start protecting our families now.
Don't microwave plastics
Look for the BPA free seal on all plastics before you buy them
Throw away all old plastic items once they get scratched or worn.
Try to avoid buying canned food.We just need to get this info out to more parents.
Also I agree w. Sarah but we need to tell parents about the dangers of flame retardants in mattresses. We spend a third of our lives lying on mattresses breathing in toxic flame retardants.

I'm working the AA Hotline number this week, and I just got a call, that started with a question to me: "How do I quit? This is killing me!" (I'm sure he meant "how do I quit drinking? ... the alcohol is killing me." )
The only thing I could tell him was what I did. I came to Alcoholics Anonymous, and asked for help.
After listening to him rant and rave about how bad AA is, and all the bad things he believes there is about AA... and about how badly he felt he was treated, when he came to AA in the past... I couldn't help but ask myself, "Then, why are you calling an AA telephone number?" ... but, naturally... I didn't ask him that question.
I'm sure that AA has no monopoly on sobriety... our book tells us that. And, of course... we're all just a bunch of recovering alcoholics, ourselves... so, naturally, one visit to an AA meeting, and I'm sure that not everyone will appear very Saintly, or to have had all their character defects and personality problems perfectly removed... none of us are professionals... and we don't charge any dues or fees. We're just a bunch of alcoholics, trying to help other alcoholics like ourselves!
I told the caller, that if AA is not what he thinks will help him achieve what he wants to achieve, he could always try church or religion... I've heard that church and religion has worked for some alcoholics. Or... he could try something else... But, I have no experience with anything other than Alcoholics Anonymous, to share with him, because AA is what has worked for me.
I suggested that he could try other meetings, try some meetings with different people, or to get a copy of the book, Alcoholics Anonymous and read it and follow the instructions in the book. I've heard of many people who just read the book, followed the instructions in the book and it worked great for them.
Then, he asked "Well, how does it work?" (Of course, we have a whole chapter on that!) And, my reply was... "well, what worked for me was the 12 Steps."
He said... "Oh yeah... and then you get a Higher Power or something" ... and then he mumbled off something and hung up on me.
Hopefully, the caller will find what he is looking for. AA isn't for everyone. And, AA is not just for those who need it. AA is for those who want it.
All I can really say... is, that AA has worked great for me.
Sure, I've been to AA meetings that I didn't like and I didn't feel comfortable with the meetings... and I tried different meetings, until I found AA meetings that I felt comfortable with. Heck, I've even had Higher Powers before... and Gods... that didn't seem to work for me. But, I didn't give up. Alcohol had beat me to the point that I was willing to accept whatever help I could get, from anywhere I could get it, and AA was the place that I found that help!
Probably the biggest thing that happened for me... was that something started happening to me... and I began to change. Perhaps as I began to change... the meetings, and the people, and perhaps even a Higher Power, God, as I understand Him, appeared to have changed!
Thanks for letting me share! And, AA... thank you for the good life that you have given me!
If you are reading this... and you identify with the caller... and you believe AA is not for you, and it sucks, and it's all bad, etceteras.... You can always do three things: 1). You can keep looking for something different that works for you. And, I hope that you find it. 2). You can always change your mind about AA, and give it another try... differently. And, 3). You can always keep on drinking until it does kill you. No one can, or will, force you to do anything that you don't choose to do! Unless.... you are as alcoholic as I am.... I lost the power to choose whether I would drink alcohol again... and, on my own, I still do not have the power to stay sober and not drink... However, I have found a Higher Power... through the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous... and if I continue to take certain simple actions... I'll never have to drink again!

Too big!
By Gretch

Comments about Clear Elasticized Table Cover:
It was too big for my 45X63 oval table. It looked terrible because it was loose and wrinkly.

About Me Midrange Shopper
The description stated for oval or oblong tables. Not true . I accurately measured my table, and it didn't fit. Besides that it's impossible to get back in the package to return once opened.
Good protection for tabletop
By Sharrylou
from Cincinnati, OH
Great to use over patterned table cover on patio. It lets the design of the patterned cover show through while, at the same time, protecting it from bird droppings, things falling off trees, etc.

Easy fix for the wrinkles!
By M. Arnold
from Florida
I use clear covers for tables in my middle school classroom that are used by over 100 students daily.Last year I ordered these from a company in Boca Raton, Florida, and they were thick and held up all year. On the insert in the package I received it said to put the table cover in your laundry dryer on low for A FEW SECONDS, then quickly cover your table.
This is my second table cover.
By Irish Colleen
from Garvin Minnesota
Use it to cover my oak table so I can use it as our kitchen table.
By Jules
from House Springs, MO
I cannot find these anywhere else. I am on my second one. My first one lasted just about a year. I have 3 boys, ages 10, 6, and 4...my table needs the protection! I have a nice round wood kitchen table that would be destroyed if I didnt have this. This allows me to put my lace/crochet table cloth on under it...I can still have my pretty table but it is protected. It took my boys about a year to force me to get another one. After a while a little hole would get in it from a fork then one of my boys would make the hole bigger and bigger....etc... Also, after some time the plastic gets a dull/cloudy look, but we USE our table. I would say about once a year I am going to have to replace it due to wear and tear. Good thing they are not very costly. Should be cheaper, its only plastic with elastic but......
strong and very resilient
By grandma
from Natrona Heights, PA
This is the second one I have purchased. My cat gets on my new wooden kitchen table and this protects it without covering the beautiful wood. As much as I try to keep my cat off the table it gets on it when we are sleeping or away. Of course, after awhile it got little holes from the claws, it still lasted quite a long time. Very pleased with all your products.

Very winkle did everything I could to get wrinkels out and they will not come out.
clear table cloth
By shoes
from Valley, Al
Love his cloth. Was able to uncover wood grain top dinning table. Put in dryer for seconds, watch closely and wrinkles come right out and you can smooth it over your table.

Best one I've ever had! Blender and processor work just great!
I bought this to make protein drinks with crushed ice and it work wonderful
I am so delighted with our new blender -- AND food processor! I make a lot of smoothies, and my old blender finally bit the proverbial dust. I was headed to Beds, Baths & Beyond when I remembered Overstock.com. When I signed in I saw that not only did they have the blender I wanted, there was a food processor included (which my husband loved). Looking further into the specifics I realizeed that I had almost the full amount saved in the Overstock Club, so ended up paying only $6.00 for this blender/food processor with free shipping. Quite a good deal! The blender is glass. The processor is heavy plastic. The blender is so much quieter than what I had previously, and works oh-so-much-better. This is a very high quality device. Very happy!
works great, easy to clean and is very attractive (also love the fact that it's a **glass** jar, not plastic.
This product looked exactly the same as the one online. It changes from blender to food processor easily and cleans easily. I'd buy it again. The original price was on it and it was a good savings. The parts that were glass were so much better than the models that are plastic!
The product is good in terms of the blending power, but it was very very noisy. I could hear it at the top level of my 3 level home. so I returned it. If noise is not a concern to you, then go for it. but I had to return mine.
Very nice blender,lots of power, crushes ice easily. Noise level is rather loud.

I can't promise that this is a "real" answer since I haven't worked directly with either engine, but I gather that Gecko is now designed predominantly as a component of Mozilla's XULRunner platform/core/environment, whereas WebKit's design is more friendly toward being embedded as a component in (relatively) arbitrary applications. The Mozilla concept is more that XULRunner handles all the heavy lifting and standards compliance minutiae while app developers primarily write XUL and JavaScript to define the user-facing functionality, which presumably doesn't confer enough power/control for the preferences/priorities of some developers/projects.
I'd be happy to be corrected by people with more direct knowledge if I've somehow misconstrued the situation.

Cain, Roark next up in pitching-rich series
San Francisco, Washington starters coming off dominating outings
AT&T Park isn't exactly a heavenly haven for hitters.
Its alleys are cavernous, the right-field wall high and the nighttime air damp -- all adding up to a pitcher's paradise.
The guys on the mound with the Nationals visiting AT&T Park this week have made the park's batting box a particularly undesirable destination for hitters.
The Nationals and Giants are first and second, respectively, in team ERA since the beginning of May. It's easy to see why after one glance at the rosters. Bumgarner. Fister. Strasburg. And those are just three who have started in the first two games of the four-game set.
Matt Cain (1-3, 3.52 ERA) and Tanner Roark (4-4, 2.91 ERA) get their turns in this pitching lovers' delight of a series Wednesday.
Cain dominated the Mets last Friday in his first start since a stint on the disabled list, allowing two earned runs on three hits in seven innings.
Cain is 5-4 with a 3.12 ERA in 13 career starts against Washington.
He'll be opposed by Roark, who's starting against San Francisco for the first time in his career. His previous two outings against the Giants were as a reliever; the right-hander held them scoreless in two innings.
This time, Roark is one of the Nationals' hottest pitchers -- just ask the Padres. Last Friday, Roark was almost unhittable against San Diego, as the Nationals blanked the Padres, 6-0, at Petco Park.
On April 26, Roark dominated the Padres at Nationals Park, allowing just three hits in a 4-0 affair. It wasn't much different than this past Friday. Roark allowed three hits in eight innings, a double to Yonder Alonso in the third and singles to Rene Rivera and Tommy Medica in the eighth inning.
"He has been pitching like that for us all year," manager Matt Williams said. "I saw a stat today: He has nine quality starts for us this year. That's really good. He continues to pound the zone -- all of his pitches. Pretty impressive."
Giants: A worthy challenger has been found
After completing a three-game sweep of the Mets on Sunday, manager Bruce Bochy cautioned against being too happy about the Giants' position atop the Majors, citing both the calendar and that the Giants haven't played every National League club yet.
Washington was one of those clubs San Francisco had yet to encounter. Given the Giants' record and the Nationals' highly talented roster, a meeting in October isn't too far of a stretch of the imagination.
It's been just two games in early June, but the Nationals have shown why there's no cause for celebration yet on the shores on McCovey Cove. Winners of nine of their last 11, the Nationals figure to be worthy challengers in the fall if the Giants are to remain on their path to the postseason.
"They got a chance," Madison Bumgarner said Tuesday night when asked about Washington's potential. "I think they've got a pretty good lineup and they've got some good pitching, so they've got a well-rounded team. It comes down to whether they execute or not, but they definitely got the talent over there."
Nationals: Desmond and Werth successful vs. Cain
With Cain starting Wednesday, it will be interesting to see how Ian Desmond and Jayson Werth fare against him.
Desmond has faced Cain 12 times and was able to get five hits with a home run, while Werth is 4-for-6 (.667).
Desmond is also one of the hottest hitters on the Nationals, going 9-for-27 in his last seven games. Werth is the only player who ranks among the National League's top five in slugging, OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage), batting average and on-base percentage.
Worth noting
• Nationals starting pitchers have struck out 54 hitters in their last eight starts. They've allowed just two walks in those eight games.
• Prior to Tuesday night, the Giants hadn't lost back-to-back games since May 16-17 against Miami. A loss Wednesday would tie their longest losing streak of the season.
• The Giants haven't lost a series since dropping two of three in Pittsburgh from May 5-7.
