I see this physician at Penn for the past 5years or more.He does my complete full body exam for skin cancer from my head to my toes. He is very thorough & is always pleasant w a great bedside manner.
Dr. Roling is an absolute professional! He is down to earth and immediately makes you feel at ease. He does not rush you and treats you as a person, not as a number. I am seen for a rare condition, which he is active in my treatment as well as proactive in my care. I would highly reccomend becoming a patient of Dr Roling's.
I have put my name as a title because he remembers me even if I don't see him for months on end. It literally took him 1 minute to find a mole that looked suspicious. I was reluctant to have him take it off, but he was insisted and would not take no for an answer and I am alive because of this. This mole was Melanoma. I am so grateful for him and basically only trust him and no other. It can be difficult to get an appointment, but its worth the wait. Thank you Dr. Roling!
Hands down my favorite doctor! He's always attentive and does a thorough exam and always phones me with biopsy results in a timely manner. After searching for a primary dermatologist I finally found one and I have been a patient for 6 years. He stood beside me through melanoma twice and is more like family than a doctor. If you're looking for someone who is sincere, and a great doctor who cares, look no farther! As with all specialty doctors waiting time varies depending on patient needs. The doctors have no idea what to expect until they see the patient and condition, so therefore waiting time varies because they do what they need for each patient. Don't you want a doctor who does what you need them to and spends time with you instead of rushing you out the door barely looking at you? I've walked right in some days, and other days waited 40 mins...avg time proably 20 mins.
DR. ROLING HAS A WONDERFUL BEDSIDE MANNER AND IS QUICK TO DETECT cancerous lesions which might have been missed by patient. He also was superb in treating my daughter's serious acne.
I had to enter a comment after reading a negative one on this doc. which I disagree with. If you have moles or are concerned about melanoma, this is the guy for you. He is not interested in your out of pocket fees for cosmetic treatments but specializes in moles. He spent plenty of time with me and my kids that have seen him, and my mother who started us all going to him. He is smart and thorough and was recommended to us by an oncologist specializing in melanoma. I am happy if his schedule stays open for me and my family, but given my experience, he deserves an excellent rating.
Dr. was far too brief and I witnessed him being condescending to his medical assistant. His diagnosis was not complete and I needed to see a different doctor after that appointment.

Hosed GTX 295?
Just got this as an rma replacement, so far nothing but trouble:
asus p5qe (latest bios)
coolermaster 850 psu
The error that gets thrown up constantly is "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area"
As soon as windows even installs the generic 295 driver this happens, reboot and as soon as the windows 7 logo appears same thing. Ive done a total format and as soon as the install gets to the point where its instaling drivers it throws this bsod up.
Ive ran the full scandisk and no errors were found.
Ive tried different ram in the board, still get the bsod so that pretty much rules out dodgy ram as the other ram works with no probs in my shuttle.
Ive formatted windows 7 and installed vista 64, again bsod (page_fault)
Ive even built a system from spare parts (pentium d, gigabyte mobo, 2 gigs of ram) and used my brothers corsair 850 psu to rule out the psu as an issue but exactly the same error.
Re: Hosed GTX 295?
I've had the "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area" error before due to a bad stick of ram. use this software to test your ram
edit: well, nevermind!
Re: Hosed GTX 295?
Try down-clocking everything pretty aggressively (like 30%-50%).
Run MemTest anyways.
Grab an el cheapo $29 nVidia card and install (always handy to have a backup card available.)

Three Ideas to Change Up Your Marketing in 2014
By Phillip Thune, Textbroker
With the rapidly changing digital landscape, marketers must stay on top of current trends to rise above the noise and reach consumers online. In 2014 keep these three tips in mind when crafting your marketing strategy for the year.
Shift Advertising Dollars to Content Marketing
In 2014, marketers must focus on their content strategy to be the most effective. While companies have traditionally poured a large percentage of their marketing into online advertising channels like PPC (i.e., AdWords), now is the time to shift some of that budget into content. With constantly changing algorithms to rank high quality content on Internet searches, content reigns as the most important factor in keeping your search engine ranking high so customers can find you online. Spending money on producing and distributing high quality content that is rich with keywords and provides value to the reader will keep your company visible and relevant.
Think Global
Make sure that you have considered the possibility that you can market to consumers outside of your local market. The Web is international, and people all over the world can find your products and services online. Even if you can only sell in the US, for example, consider the possibility that not all people living in the US have English as their first language. Those people may be searching in their native language but could be a potential customer. If your site is optimized for keywords in other languages, you will show up in search. From there, chances are that the person looking will still be able to use your site. If the person does not speak English, he or she will be able to use tools like Google to translate the page and get an understanding of the products and services you sell.
Translate your content whenever possible to make sure that your products are visible to everyone in your target market and internationally. You don't have to translate everything, but if you have some content that helps people searching understand what you do, you will stand above the competition.
Distribute Content on as Many Channels as Possible
Once you have created great content that is full of keywords, share that content everywhere you can. A good rule of thumb is to write once and post as often as possible. Post it to Google+, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, your website, and anywhere else relevant for your market. You can also identify press and social media influencers that will share your content for you. Establishing relationships with people that will share your content with their network will help distribute your message quickly and effectively. Remember that when posting content the best idea is to post the entire article once on your website and then post a title or short summary of it on social media and other sites, where everything links back to the content on your website.

The high school girls basketball playoffs began on Monday, February 23rd and of the six Rutland County teams, only the Division IV top seeded West Rutland Golden Horde made it to the semifinals. Once their they eliminated the fifth seeded Danville Indians 66-54 in the semifinals, only to lose last Saturday's Division IV State Championship to the third seeded Chelsea Red Devils 47-41.
West Rutland, who received an opening round buy, advanced to the state semifinals by defeating the ninth seeded Rochester Rockets 61-45 in quarterfinal action Feb. 27 in West Rutland. Katie Lincoln, the Horde's leading scorer during the season, had a monstrous night scoring 32 of West Side's 61 total points. Emily Sumner contributed another ten for the Golden Horde.. Paityn Boyer scored 11 for Rochester, who end their season dead even at 11-11.
West Rutland's season almost ending the following Monday in Barre when they found themselves trailing the Danville Indians 45-30 halfway through the third quarter. But West Rutland emerged from a timeout like a team possessed, and they outscored the Indians 36-9 the rest of the way to avoid the upset and advance to last Saurday's championship game. Senior guard Emily Sumner turned in a double-double of 21 points and ten rebounds to lead the Horde in the come from behind win. Lincoln contributed an additional fifteen to the victory. Molly Morgan and Courtney Elliot led Danville in their upset bid. Morgan poured in 18 points, while Elliot scored 16 more and hauled down 16 rebounds for her own double-double. Danville finished the year at 15-8.
But the upset did come in last Saturday's state championship when West Rutland fell to Chelsea 47-41. Behind the strength of a 10-3 run in the second quarter, the third seeded Red Devils led 25-16 at the half. At that point Chelsea would bend a little, but not break as the Horde would get no closer than four points the rest of the way. Robyn Kennedy set the pace for the victorious Devils by scoring 21 points. West Rutland, who end the year at 17-6, were once again led by Lincoln. The West Rutland junior scored 23 points, including her 1000th career varsity point, with still a full season ahead of her. For Chelsea, who finished the year at 20-4, it was their first girls title since 2005, and the seventh in the history of their school.

A report by Mercy López on today's front page gives you an overview of the "branding and marketing" meeting that took place last week in Las Vegas. I was one among about two dozen people to attend — and I came away with some thoughts of my own.
One is that a community's reputation is tightly wrapped up in its own self-identity.
Was Pablita Angel twice hanged in Las Vegas in 1861, and is she the only woman ever executed in New Mexico?
Did an Italian holy man live in solitude atop El Cerro del Tecolote, and is that why the mountain is known as Hermit's Peak?
Did a group of settlers pursued by Native Americans take refuge at the summit of El Cerrito de Bernal, and there starve to death, and is that why the small plateau is called Starvation Peak?
Possibly the most confusing and complicated verb form in the English language is, paradoxically, also about the shortest: to be.
In many languages — not just in English — the different forms of the word seem to defy logic. You start with "be," but you can't change the tense of it by saying or writing "beed"; no, instead many forms of the word branch out: am, was, were, been, being. To most English speakers, the various permutations come naturally, but in other languages, such as Spanish, the issue seems much more difficult.
If you want to read some beautiful prose about the purity of family and friendships, J.P. Baca's book isn't for you.
But if you want to read a raw expression of one man's rise above harsh and abusive conditions to conquer his own little piece of the world, you should read "Blessings in Disguise."
Charles, Prince of Wales, and heir to the British throne, came to Montezuma on Oct. 28, 1982, to dedicate the Armand Hammer United World College of the American West.
It's just my luck to have been raised in a family where appearance might not have been paramount, but it was nevertheless w-a-y ahead of whatever was in second place.
My mother, the late Marie Trujillo, would have been scandalized had we little Trujillos done anything to bring dishonor to the family. A devout Catholic, Mom probably added a couple of beads to the rosary she carried, something that ponders, "Que dira la gente?"
The numbers that came out of a recent U.S. Census report are alarming. If well-off Americans don't heed the warning signs, they could indeed be facing a serious backlash.
The legislature is meeting in special session to consider redistricting legislation and a slew of other issues that the governor has placed on the agenda. The difficulty is that communication between the governor and the legislature has been very limited leading up to this session, foreshadowing a contentious few weeks.
New Mexico now more than ever needs the governor and the legislature to communicate, cooperate and collaborate.
The U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops purchased the Montezuma property in 1937, and a Catholic seminary was established at the site for the education and religious training of Mexican seminarians, under the direction of a Mexican order of Jesuit priests.
It is common knowledge that for many years Montezuma served as a Catholic seminary, but seldom do historical or other accounts explain why a Mexican seminary came to be located in the United States, five miles north of Las Vegas. We will provide that explanation in this column.
If you say it softly, it's not so bad. Now what's that supposed to mean?
Well, it's a conclusion I've reached after years and years of observation as to how people choose to express themselves. Shouting out a word — if you overlook the possibility of rousing someone from slumber — is worse than whispering it.
Let me explain:

The Boston Post Road, consisting of three routes, was one of the most heavily traveled of the early roadways. It opened to mail delivery between Boston and New York City in 1673. Today, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority maintains a network of public subway, elevated, and surface lines. The subway system, begun in 1897, was the first in the country.
Some of the Boston region's other transportation facilities are under state control. The Massachusetts Port Authority, for example, operates Logan International Airport in East Boston—a busy centre for overseas as well as domestic flights—along with several regional airports. The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority supervises the operations of Interstate 90, the highway extending westward from Boston to New York state. The Metropolitan District Commission manages a system of regional parks and roadways.
Boston has not easily accommodated the growth of private automobile and truck traffic, which increasingly chokes the city, especially the narrow and winding downtown streets laid out in colonial times. For decades one of the city's weakest points in terms of traffic flow was the Central Artery, a six-lane elevated highway opened in 1959 that cut through downtown and isolated neighbourhoods. Increasingly, it became clear that the Central Artery was becoming unable to cope with continually growing vehicular traffic, and a major construction project—the Central Artery/Tunnel Project, commonly called the Big Dig—was begun in 1991. The task involved replacing the elevated highway through the city with an 8-to-10-lane underground expressway, rebuilding bridges, and boring a new tunnel under the harbour; the need to do so without crippling the city's essential functions and day-to-day life made it one of the most challenging infrastructure projects ever undertaken in the United States. Major construction on the Big Dig was completed in 2006, providing greater access to the formerly undeveloped South Boston waterfront area. There a newly created Seaport District featured a large convention centre, an international trade centre, the Institute of Contemporary Art, and a series of hotels, restaurants, and residential buildings.
Administration and society
Throughout the colonial period, Boston was governed by a town meeting to which representatives of the community were regularly elected. In 1822, after a popular referendum, Boston became a city and acquired a city government. All "fiscal, prudential, and municipal concerns" of the city were vested in the mayor, a committee of 8 persons called the Board of Aldermen, and a Common Council of 48 members elected from the various wards of the city.
This system endured until 1909, when a new city charter was approved. The Board of Aldermen was abolished, and the council was reduced in size to nine at-large members. Mayoral elections were put on a nonpartisan basis, and the office of mayor was greatly strengthened by giving the incumbent a four-year term. With minor variations, this system continues to operate.
Boston is unique among the cities in the Bay State for the restrictions that have been placed on its power to manage its own finances and control its own regulatory agencies. In 1909, fearing municipal corruption, the Republican-controlled state legislature placed severe restrictions on local rule. The state created an independent finance commission to oversee the city's management and budget as well as to control the appointment of the city's police commissioner and members of the licensing board. Perhaps the most influential local authority in later years has been the Boston Redevelopment Authority, which directed major urban development projects during the 1960s and '70s.
Municipal services
During the 19th century, Boston organized its fire and police departments, established municipal services to centralize water supplies and safeguard the public health, and authorized a public works department to lay out streets and construct roads and bridges. In the 20th century, however, with the rapid expansion of the city and its surrounding urban communities, the greater Boston area came to depend on various state authorities, commissions, and quasi-public agencies for many vital resources. The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, for example, coordinates the sewer and waterworks system that supplies more than 60 cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts.
Education and health
Universities, colleges, and schools of every kind fill several pages in the classified section of the Boston telephone directory. Boston University (founded 1869), Northeastern University (1898), Suffolk University (1906), and the Boston campus (1964) of the University of Massachusetts, as well as Simmons (1899), Emmanuel (1919), and Emerson (1880) colleges, are based within the city, as are the Harvard University faculties of medicine, dentistry, public health, and business administration.
The rest of Harvard (1636) and Radcliffe College (1879; now the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT; 1861) are just across the Charles River in Cambridge. Boston College (1863), a Jesuit institution that is a university in everything except name, is in Chestnut Hill, only a step beyond the city limits. Tufts University (1852), although based in Medford, has its medical school in Boston. Massachusetts General, among the oldest of hospitals in the United States, is joined by, among others, Beth Israel Deaconess, Children's, and Brigham and Women's hospitals and the New England Medical Center.
Cultural life
The arts
Boston has a rich and varied cultural life, and the love of music attracts many Bostonians throughout the year. The Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO), founded in 1881, is one of the foremost orchestras in the world. The BSO performs at Symphony Hall during the winter months and at the Tanglewood Music Festival, in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, in July and August. The longtime conductor Arthur Fiedler made the BSO's Boston Pops series a local music institution; each spring, Bostonians crowd around café-style tables in Symphony Hall and listen to a mixture of classical and popular favourites. During the summer, the Pops also performs outdoors at the Hatch Shell along the Charles River; a much-anticipated annual event is the orchestra's Fourth of July concert, which culminates with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Noted Boston music schools include the New England Conservatory of Music (1867) and the Berklee College of Music (1945).
Boston's reputation as a cultural centre is built in large part on the prominent museums that are its patrimony. The Museum of Fine Arts, a major world institution (opened 1876), preserves and exhibits East Asian, Egyptian, and Classical collections as well as other important examples of paintings, prints, textiles, and the decorative arts. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (1903) in the Fenway has a notable collection of Italian Renaissance paintings and remains an important monument as well as a history of taste. Harvard University maintains a fine arts museum as well as several museums devoted to science and natural history. The Museum of Science (1949) at Science Park, overlooking the Charles River basin, and the Children's Museum at Museum Wharf are aimed at the instruction of young people.
Among American cities, Boston is particularly noted for the abundance of its scholarly and public libraries. The Boston Public Library (1854) was the first major tax-supported free library in the United States. Since 1895 it has been housed in a building designed by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White. The library, with its fine collection of books, carries out many of its functions through branches spread throughout the city. The Boston Athenaeum, a proprietary library founded in 1807, the Massachusetts Historical Society, the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the State Library, and the libraries of the colleges and universities in the area provide remarkable resources, while, across the Charles, Harvard has one of the greatest libraries for scholarship in the world.
Boston has a flourishing theatre district near the common that provides venues for both mainstream and more-offbeat shows. Broadway shows and professional stage productions are mounted at the Wilbur and Colonial theatres. The renovated Citi Performing Arts Center, which operates the Shubert and Wang theatres, provides facilities for grand opera and large theatrical productions. In addition to professional productions, there are numerous small playhouses and repertory theatres in the greater Boston area as well as notable dramatic productions at many of the area's colleges and universities, such as the Loeb Drama Center at Harvard (home of the American Repertory Theatre), the Kresge Auditorium at MIT, the Spingold Theater Center at Brandeis University, and the Robsham Theater Arts Center at Boston College.

Pros and Cons of Donnay Pro One

Been using Donnay pro one since it came out . Actually first the denser string pattern then the 16x19. I loved it except the vibrations .
Since then I've moved on to the vortex tour which is the same racquet with an even more open string pattern. And now I'm trying the 99s which is also very similar with an even more open pattern.
Seems I know the specs of a stick....and the more open the pattern the more I like it .
As you can see others have had the same complaints as I have .
Just because you don't have the same findings doesn't mean it's not true. Some people are just more sensitive to it than others.
Donnay pro one is an amazing stick....one of the greatest ever .....the only con for myself and others is the vibration.
Nothing faulty with the strings or the stick or the people
Who honestly have the same opinion .
The other racquets in the Donnay line by the way are some of the most arm friendly racquets I have ever had the pleasure of playing with.

This is my absolutely favorite wet 'n' wild eyeshadow palette! The taupe color is almost an exact dupe of Mac's "satin taupe" which is my favorite eyeshadow of all time! LOVE this palette! Also it's great because you can use this palette for an everyday look or a very smokey eye look! Amazing pigmentation and incredible lasting power with a primer underneath! Packaging is ok...shadows will break if you drop the palette on the floor (non-carpet), so I would recommend getting backups. But since it is dirt cheap, it's not a big deal to me. Highly recommend this palette!

I bought this mainly because the bottom color reminds me of Shu Uemura's Me 925 which was discontinued. While this is not a dupe of that it comes pretty close. The lid shadow could be a bit more darker for me but still not bad. All the shadows in the compact are silky in texture and have good lasting power though sometimes I like to use a primer or base with all my shadows. The trio works well together. The highlighter shade is a pink-based white and does a good job of opening up my eyes and is gorgeous in the tear duct area.

This is my favorite Wet 'n Wild trio. It's so pretty, and stays all day. I get compliments whenever I wear this, and what girl doesn't love that? The colors are soft and highly pigmented, with just the right amount of shimmer. This works perfectly for day or night, and the middle shade looks fantastic alone. Love this! However- make sure harm does not befall this little container, because the shadows are so soft that they WILL break. And shatter into a million pieces. All over the floor. So be careful!

This is my favorite travel eyeshadow kit. It's compact with excellent colors to play with. The highlighter color is soft shimmery pink/champagne color. It's not harsh to the eyes like a pearl white shadow. My favorite color is the cool grey/purple eyelid shadow. I've never seen a color like this before. I swear, everytime I apply this on my eyes it brighten the over look while still giving you the sutry look. It's my first recommendation when it comes to any type of makeup!

I love this eyeshadow trio. It is my favorite for day time or work. It was only about $3. The quality is so good, pigmented colors, creamy, smooth, lasts all day without creasing (I use elf eyelid primer). The bottom color is not a satin taupe dupe at all, they are very different. This one is more purple/silvery but I like it so much better on me. The brown is a dark brown , almost blackish brown and you can barely see the sparkles and they are not really something to be bothered by.
The brownbone color is ... peachy?? hard to describe! It is just that, a nice browbone color that is not very loud of a color.. good for daytime.
One thing that bothers me about some eyeshadows is when they are hard and they start to look bumpy after using them. This does not do that. The quality is absolutely amazing on these shadows. They are so silky smooth, fantastic pigment, no fallout, not too hard and not too soft of shadows. These are creamy and blend nicely.
This is perfect for any of you cool toned ladies. I am pale cool toned and this looks great on my eyes. For work I do not use the "lid" color on my lid but I mix the lid & crease together for a perfect crease color. I do not use lid on my lid because I feel like it doesn't have enough contrast between the brown crease for a daytime look.
I can not say enough good things about this es! This would definitely be something I would bring on a vacation for easy day looks & It can also be made into sexy night looks too.

I bought this palette to wear to a wedding. I was one of five bridemaids, and we all wore the same champagne-y/taupe-ish one-shoulder dress. I opted not to get my makeup done by the MA to save money--instead, I decided to pick this up since it was cheap and I've heard such great things about the WNW shadows. This trio did not disappoint! The colors matched perfectly with my dress, gave great pigment and blended easily - I was able to achieve a lovely soft smoky eye using this. Compared to the girls who got their makeup done by the MA (who used MAC products), I thought my eye makeup was just as vibrant and lasted just as long. I can't believe the quality you get for the price with this trio. Packaging is the only thing that's so-so, but that's so insignificant compared to everything else.

The quality in this palette is absolutely outstanding! All 3 colors are soft, richly pigmented, and long lasting. The taupe is some magical color that instantly makes anyone look better. Personally, I stay away from any color that's gray based because they make me look like death... lol. Not the case with this one! The taupe contrasts with my eyes and hair color and makes them look brighter! It's perfect in deep, smokey looks, as well as bright- but where it really shines is simple looks. Just a wash of the taupe over the lid, with some smudgy liner and mascara- perfection! For girls with brown eyes, pair it with purples! It's so pretty!(:

I really, really love this trio! I'm still sort of new to makeup, and Walking on Eggshells has been my go to neutral look for every day wear. Now that I've started to get a hang of applying eye shadows, I wanted something a little more dramatic. The colors are still pretty neutral, but you can build them and make a beautiful smoky eye. The taupe color is perfect for all over the lid and can be worn on its own. Te dark brown/black color is super pigmented but can easily be blended. I was a little wary of the pink color, but it's really beautiful highlight for under the brow. I'm in high school and can make it work for any everyday look. I'd definitely recommend this, and I hope to get more trios in the future. (:

I really like this trio. The peach color has so many uses. I use it by itself on my lids when going for a natural look. Also, it works so well as a natural looking highlighter for the brow and cheek bones. The taupe shade is AMAZING! I use this color for contouring my lids since it is too dark for an all over color. The darkest color is complete crap IMO. It is impossible to blend and far too dark for most people to contour with. Hey, two great shades out of three isn't that bad. I probably will not repurchase because I don't use this pallette enough to ever hit pan. Also, the peach and taupe colors are great but don't suit my skintone as well as the WnW Sweet as Candy trio.

I have fallen in love with wet 'n' wild eyeshadows thanks to the beauty gurus on youtube. They are dirt cheap, super pigmented, easy to blend, and last all day over my ud primer potion. They had them on sale at walgreens buy one get one half off last week and I stocked up. They make some really pretty colors too. The colors in this pallette remind me a lot of some neutral mac ones that I have used. Kudos for making a great product at an unbeatable price!

Arizona Diamondbacks
Astros walk off on D-backs, complete two-game sweep: By The Numbers
Despite a less than stellar performance on the mound from starter Wade Miley, the Arizona Diamondbacks chipped away at a three-run deficit over the final four innings of play Thursday night against the Houston Astros.
Timely runs in the sixth and seventh inning pulled Arizona to within one before Miguel Montero went to work in the clutch.
The D-backs catcher launched a solo shot off of former Arizona reliever Chad Qualls to knot the contest at four in the top of the ninth.
Arizona was unable to complete the comeback in extras, however, as former D-back Chris Carter took matters into his own hands for the second consecutive night.
Carter, who slugged two home runs in Houston's 5-1 win Wednesday, drilled the fifth pitch he saw from Arizona right-hander J.J. Putz over the wall in left to secure a 5-4 victory in 10 innings.
With the win, the Astros swept their two-game set with the D-backs and took three of four in the interleague home-and-home series.
Here's a look back at the one-run loss by the numbers:
Another former D-back had a hand in the final outcome, as well. Reliever Tony Sipp, who spent the 2013 campaign in Arizona, pitched a perfect 10th for his first win since June 10, 2013 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
For Carter, who was dealt to Oakland in the trade that netted Arizona Dan Haren in Dec. 2007, the long ball marked his second career walk-off hit.
Joe Thatcher and Evan Marshall pitched for one impressive inning of work in the seventh. With the bases loaded and no outs, Thatcher induced a pop-up from Jonathan Singleton and Marshall was bailed out after Matt Dominguez was called out on a double-play ball for runner's interference.
Miley allowed two or more home runs for the four time in 2014. The third-year left-hander has given up a team-leading 16 long balls. Only Milwaukee's Marco Estrada (20) has served up more.
Montero's game-tying blast in the ninth was his ninth of the campaign. In 2013, he didn't record his ninth home run until July 27.
Houston loaded the bases again in the bottom of the ninth, but Ziegler survived the inning unscathed after Dominguez bounced into a 5-3 twin killing.
It was Ziegler's 12th career double play ball with the bases loaded.
With his two doubles Thursday, D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt took over the MLB lead in the category with 27. The Texas native was doubled up in the eighth, though, after George Springer made a diving stop on a sinking liner off the bat of Martin Prado.
After making the superb snag, Springer promptly threw the ball to second for the inning's final out as Goldschmidt took off toward the plate upon initial contact.
4/24 - 4/29:
Arizon failed to pick up a win in back-to-back series for the first time since April 24 - 29, 2014. During that stretch, the Colorado Rockies and Philadelphia Phillies combined to take four of six games from the D-backs.

A derivative instrument is a contract between two parties that specifies conditions (especially the dates, resulting values of the underlying variables, and notional amounts) under which payments are to be made between the parties.[1][2]
Under US law and the laws of most other developed countries, derivatives have special legal exemptions that make them a particularly attractive legal form through which to extend credit.[3] However, the strong creditor protections afforded to derivatives counterparties, in combination with their complexity and lack of transparency, can cause capital markets to underprice credit risk. This can contribute to credit booms, and increase systemic risks.[3] Indeed, the use of derivatives to mask credit risk from third parties while protecting derivative counterparties contributed to the financial crisis of 2008 in the United States.[3][4]
Financial reforms within the US since the financial crisis have served only to reinforce special protections for derivatives, including greater access to government guarantees, while minimizing disclosure to broader financial markets.[5]
One of the oldest derivatives is rice futures, which have been traded on the Dojima Rice Exchange since the eighteenth century.[6] Derivatives are broadly categorized by the relationship between the underlying asset and the derivative (such as forward, option, swap); the type of underlying asset (such as equity derivatives, foreign exchange derivatives, interest rate derivatives, commodity derivatives, or credit derivatives); the market in which they trade (such as exchange-traded or over-the-counter); and their pay-off profile.
Derivatives can be used for speculating purposes ("bets") or to hedge ("insurance"). For example, a speculator may sell deep in-the-money naked calls on a stock, expecting the stock price to plummet, but exposing himself to potentially unlimited losses. Very commonly, companies buy currency forwards in order to limit losses due to fluctuations in the exchange rate of two currencies.
Third parties can use publicly available derivative prices as educated predictions of uncertain future outcomes, for example, the likelihood that a corporation will default on its debts.[7]
Derivatives are used by investors for the following:
Derivatives allow risk related to the price of the underlying asset to be transferred from one party to another. For example, a wheat farmer and a miller could sign a futures contract to exchange a specified amount of cash for a specified amount of wheat in the future. Both parties have reduced a future risk: for the wheat farmer, the uncertainty of the price, and for the miller, the availability of wheat. However, there is still the risk that no wheat will be available because of events unspecified by the contract, such as the weather, or that one party will renege on the contract. Although a third party, called a clearing house, insures a futures contract, not all derivatives are insured against counter-party risk.
From another perspective, the farmer and the miller both reduce a risk and acquire a risk when they sign the futures contract: the farmer reduces the risk that the price of wheat will fall below the price specified in the contract and acquires the risk that the price of wheat will rise above the price specified in the contract (thereby losing additional income that he could have earned). The miller, on the other hand, acquires the risk that the price of wheat will fall below the price specified in the contract (thereby paying more in the future than he otherwise would have) and reduces the risk that the price of wheat will rise above the price specified in the contract. In this sense, one party is the insurer (risk taker) for one type of risk, and the counter-party is the insurer (risk taker) for another type of risk.
Hedging also occurs when an individual or institution buys an asset (such as a commodity, a bond that has coupon payments, a stock that pays dividends, and so on) and sells it using a futures contract. The individual or institution has access to the asset for a specified amount of time, and can then sell it in the future at a specified price according to the futures contract. Of course, this allows the individual or institution the benefit of holding the asset, while reducing the risk that the future selling price will deviate unexpectedly from the market's current assessment of the future value of the asset.
Derivatives can serve legitimate business purposes. For example, a corporation borrows a large sum of money at a specific interest rate.[11] The rate of interest on the loan resets every six months. The corporation is concerned that the rate of interest may be much higher in six months. The corporation could buy a forward rate agreement (FRA), which is a contract to pay a fixed rate of interest six months after purchases on a notional amount of money.[12] If the interest rate after six months is above the contract rate, the seller will pay the difference to the corporation, or FRA buyer. If the rate is lower, the corporation will pay the difference to the seller. The purchase of the FRA serves to reduce the uncertainty concerning the rate increase and stabilize earnings.
Derivatives can be used to acquire risk, rather than to hedge against risk. Thus, some individuals and institutions will enter into a derivative contract to speculate on the value of the underlying asset, betting that the party seeking insurance will be wrong about the future value of the underlying asset. Speculators look to buy an asset in the future at a low price according to a derivative contract when the future market price is high, or to sell an asset in the future at a high price according to a derivative contract when the future market price is low.
Individuals and institutions may also look for arbitrage opportunities, as when the current buying price of an asset falls below the price specified in a futures contract to sell the asset.
Speculative trading in derivatives gained a great deal of notoriety in 1995 when Nick Leeson, a trader at Barings Bank, made poor and unauthorized investments in futures contracts. Through a combination of poor judgment, lack of oversight by the bank's management and regulators, and unfortunate events like the Kobe earthquake, Leeson incurred a US$1.3 billion loss that bankrupted the centuries-old institution.[13]
In broad terms, there are two groups of derivative contracts, which are distinguished by the way they are traded in the market:
Some of the common variants of derivative contracts are as follows:
Swaps can basically be categorized into two types:
The overall derivatives market has five major classes of underlying asset:
Some common examples of these derivatives are the following:
|Exchange-traded futures
|Exchange-traded options
|OTC swap
|OTC forward
|OTC option
|DJIA Index future
Single-stock future
|Option on DJIA Index future
Single-share option
|Equity swap
Repurchase agreement
|Stock option
Turbo warrant
|Interest rate
|Eurodollar future
Euribor future
|Option on Eurodollar future
Option on Euribor future
|Interest rate swap
|Forward rate agreement
|Interest rate cap and floor
Basis swap
Bond option
|Bond future
|Option on Bond future
|Credit default swap
Total return swap
|Repurchase agreement
|Credit default option
|Foreign exchange
|Currency future
|Option on currency future
|Currency swap
|Currency forward
|Currency option
|WTI crude oil futures
|Weather derivatives
|Commodity swap
|Iron ore forward contract
|Gold option
Other examples of underlying exchangeables are:
Some of the salient economic functions of the derivative market include:
In a nutshell, there is a substantial increase in savings and investment in the long run due to augmented activities by derivative Market participant.[21]
Two common measures of value are:
For exchange-traded derivatives, market price is usually transparent, making it difficult to automatically broadcast prices. In particular with OTC contracts, there is no central exchange to collate and disseminate prices.
The arbitrage-free price for a derivatives contract can be complex, and there are many different variables to consider. Arbitrage-free pricing is a central topic of financial mathematics. For futures/forwards the arbitrage free price is relatively straightforward, involving the price of the underlying together with the cost of carry (income received less interest costs), although there can be complexities.
However, for options and more complex derivatives, pricing involves developing a complex pricing model: understanding the stochastic process of the price of the underlying asset is often crucial. A key equation for the theoretical valuation of options is the Black–Scholes formula, which is based on the assumption that the cash flows from a European stock option can be replicated by a continuous buying and selling strategy using only the stock. A simplified version of this valuation technique is the binomial options model.
OTC represents the biggest challenge in using models to price derivatives. Since these contracts are not publicly traded, no market price is available to validate the theoretical valuation. Most of the model's results are input-dependent (meaning the final price depends heavily on how we derive the pricing inputs).[24] Therefore it is common that OTC derivatives are priced by Independent Agents that both counterparties involved in the deal designate upfront (when signing the contract).
Derivatives are often subject to the following criticisms:
Economists and bankers claimed derivatives made markets safer. But instead, they made them [the markets] unstable.[25]
According to Raghuram Rajan, a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), "... it may well be that the managers of these firms [investment funds] have figured out the correlations between the various instruments they hold and believe they are hedged. Yet as Chan and others (2005) point out, the lessons of summer 1998 following the default on Russian government debt is that correlations that are zero or negative in normal times can turn overnight to one — a phenomenon they term "phase lock-in." A hedged position can become unhedged at the worst times, inflicting substantial losses on those who mistakenly believe they are protected."[26]
The use of derivatives can result in large losses because of the use of leverage, or borrowing. Derivatives allow investors to earn large returns from small movements in the underlying asset's price. However, investors could lose large amounts if the price of the underlying moves against them significantly. There have been several instances of massive losses in derivative markets, such as the following:
This comes to a staggering $39.5 billion, the majority in the last decade after the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 was passed.
Some derivatives (especially swaps) expose investors to counter party risk, or risk arising from the other party in a financial transaction. Different types of derivatives have different levels of counter party risk. For example, standardized stock options by law require the party at risk to have a certain amount deposited with the exchange, showing that they can pay for any losses; banks that help businesses swap variable for fixed rates on loans may do credit checks on both parties. However, in private agreements between two companies, for example, there may not be benchmarks for performing due diligence and risk analysis.
Derivatives typically have a large notional value. As such, there is the danger that their use could result in losses for which the investor would be unable to compensate. The possibility that this could lead to a chain reaction ensuing in an economic crisis was pointed out by famed investor Warren Buffett in Berkshire Hathaway's 2002 annual report. Buffett called them 'financial weapons of mass destruction.' The problem with derivatives is that they control an increasingly larger notional amount of assets and this may lead to distortions in the real capital and equities markets. Investors begin to look at the derivatives markets to make a decision to buy or sell securities and so what was originally meant to be a market to transfer risk now becomes a leading indicator.(See Berkshire Hathaway Annual Report for 2002)
Derivatives massively leverage the debt in an economy, making it ever more difficult for the underlying real economy to service its debt obligations, thereby curtailing real economic activity, which can cause a recession or even depression.[citation needed] In the view of Marriner S. Eccles, US Federal Reserve Chairman from November, 1934 to February, 1948, too high a level of debt was one of the primary causes of the Great Depression. (See Berkshire Hathaway Annual Report for 2002)
The use of derivatives also has its benefits:
In the context of a 2010 examination of the ICE Trust, an industry self-regulatory body, Gary Gensler, the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission which regulates most derivatives, was quoted saying that the derivatives marketplace as it functions now "adds up to higher costs to all Americans." More oversight of the banks in this market is needed, he also said. Additionally, the report said, "[t]he Department of Justice is looking into derivatives, too. The department's antitrust unit is actively investigating 'the possibility of anticompetitive practices in the credit derivatives clearing, trading and information services industries,' according to a department spokeswoman."[31]
Over-the-counter dealing will be less common as the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act comes into effect. The law mandated the clearing of certain swaps at registered exchanges and imposed various restrictions on derivatives. To implement Dodd-Frank, the CFTC developed new rules in at least 30 areas. The Commission determines which swaps are subject to mandatory clearing and whether a derivatives exchange is eligible to clear a certain type of swap contract.

Gun Show Moron
I went to the Gibraltar Trade Center gun show this afternoon. I brought along a H&K USPc that I'm looking to trade. As you know I had to "check in" the gun with the guy at the door so he could tag it. I was pissed when the moron opened the case and proceeded to point the muzzle directly at me and everyone else in line, and astonished when he turned it toward himself and looked down the barrel! He put on this little show before checking that it was unloaded and locking the slide back (which I practically had to show him how to do). Unbelievable...
Oh, and I came home with NOTHING! They had some good prices on ammo though, next time...
Yep, I was asked if had a firearm. Since they are not police. I lied. :supergrin:
It makes no sense to disarm someone by handling a gun in a crowed place with. It won't go off in my holster. But, when its handled. It could.
Was there on Saturday and also lied about carrying. When you look at the people checking them in, kinda scares me. Besides every moron that has put the plastic strap on the trigger seems to tighten it up enough (100 lbs + of tugging) to bend my trigger bows. I took my S/S 1911 one time and the gentleman took his little clippers to remove and put a scratch on the frame then denied it when I told him. Sorry you will not handle my guns anymore. Oh by the way met Centennial there and spent some $$ on a AR stripped lower. His prices are very hard to beat and on top of all that he is a very nice person to deal with. So next time there stop and say Hi. John
I was so tempted to get a lower. I mean for $115 its is hard to beat. The thought was to buy two. One for each one of my sons. But, I figured not yet. Besides, I think they will want to pick out their own. You know kids. :upeyes:
It was great to meet both of you!
I appreciate the kind words!
Hey,it was good. And yes, that was one weird pistol. If I ever find some 8mm. Its coming your way.:supergrin:
Re: Gun Show Moron
To avoid any problems with the gun checker, I don't carry at the gun show. NO WAY would I hand them my pistol to fondle! Nor would I like to violate any laws by being dishonest with them about having a pistol & telling them "NO" I do not.
Maybe if they had a Certified Police Officer doing the checking???
Have you seen how some COPS handle guns? Doesn't make me happy.
I've seen too much dangerous gun handling over the years, much less guns fumbled and scratched with the cutters.
If I'm bringing in a gun to trade/sell, I'll ziptie it myself ahead of time, take it out of the case and show them it's cleared.....while it's in my hands.
When I was new to guns a few years back (new to owning, not shooting) I didn't know about the common courtesy of opening the action to hand a gun off. Now its become a peeve of mine if someone tries handing me a gun without opening the action.
The Gibralter Trade Center is likely considered an entertainment venue with a seating capacity of over 2500, which means that carrying a pistol inside on a plain vanilla CPL was a no-no.
I've heard that the GTC funshow is the best one in the state. I'm glad that I didn't make the trip out from the west side of the state, and waste my time.
I usually only go if I'm looking for several specific items. The $6 admission is like paying once for shipping, and the prices for most accessories are the same as they are online, only I get to see them before I buy them.
Hey guys,
Where was the show, Taylor or Mt. Clemens? I need to pick up a few things and was waiting for the one in Mt. Clemens. Any one know when the next MC one is?
Next Mt Clemens show is August 10-11-12
Just wondering, if this is true, shouldn't it posted as NO CCW?
It's not an entertainment venue. It's a shopping center.
I'll see you there.
Gibralter web site
Here is their web site schedule:
Michigan doesn't have provisions for "no CCW" signs in the law. The actual wording of the Michigan CPL law with regard to pistol free zones is: "An entertainment facility that the individual knows or should know has a seating capacity of 2,500 or more."
I guarantee you that the GTC has a licensed seating capacity in excess of 2500 people based on it's square footage. The GTC has hosted other events in the past, including boxing and wrestling, so I think that most people would/should reasonably know that the facility will hold at least 2500 people in its 50,000 square feet.
All that I'm saying is that, personally, I wouldn't risk my CPL by carrying in the GTC. Their request at the very least makes it trespassing if they catch you resulting in removal from the facility, and at the worst, you get busted by the police for violating the CPL law.
I know that at the Grand Rapids gun show, they actually stat in the "no concealed pistols allowed" signs that the facility has a seating capacity in excess of 2500 people. Does the GTC signage say the same thing?

As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't get much better than the celebrity nipple slip, but even though it may not really seem like it if you read Egotastic!, the nipple slips are in are not very frequent. What's even lees frequent, however, is an actress talking about her nipples on a national talk show.
But that's just what Anne Hathaway did when she was a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. That's right, our beloved Anne Hathaway talked all about that time she went to a movie premiere in a dress she thought was black, but turned out to be see-through under the glare of the flash bulb. She also talked about nipple-petals.
And, while she did say she was pretty mortified over the incident and cried about it for days, you know that's not going to stop me from posting these classic Anne Hathway nipple slip / see-through pictures (again), because, well, that's what I do.
Of course, from the way it looked in that video, I'm pretty sure Ellen DeGeneres won't mind at all…

What should you prune?
You've submitted the budget for the projects you'll be working on for the next six months. But the head of your Strategic Program Office has just called to say that you just can't do all of that!
Why? Well, it's not because he's questioning the benefit of these projects – after all, the business case of each one has already been approved. The problem is that funds are limited and the portfolio as it stands needs more cash than you've got.
You now need to re-work your overall plan to reduce the costs by 15%. So how do you decide which projects to keep, and which ones to delay or abandon?
This article gives you a robust process for doing just that.

When playing I go big on my first serve. What tools or adjustments do you all make to ensure more spin on second serve? Toss back? Interested to hear what people do.
Well, on the first serve you can take a little bit of risk and hit it flatter to make sure it's in the 120+mph range. On the second serve I'd tone it down to 110mph but add huge amount of kick to keep it safe and effective.
I used a "dink" second serve as a 3.5 and ran the risk of getting punished on the return. 50/50 success rate I would say I had. I tooled with it a lot when I got bumped to 4.0, and now I feel very confident in it. When it comes to the serve (1st or 2nd), the more the spin, the better.
Toss is slightly farther back.
Impact zone is slightly LOWER than for a flat serve.
Use slightly more backhand grip, but still try to pronate up and thru the ball, or it spins TOO much.
Aim 3' above the net cord.
Slow down your second serve by at least 30% to allow your topspin to arc the ball down into the court with the help of gravity and air drag.
And swing slightly FASTER than you did on the first serve.
Topspin second serve:the Most Spin possible
Ball toss right over your head and let it fall 2-4 inches below your service swing reach
swing is straight up"The Ultimate brushing of the tennis ball"
More power snap your wrist over the ball - John Newcombe suggestion
11 star answer out of 10 possible. :mrgreen:
I don't know how to describe this fully, but I try to actually commit more racket head speed through the ball connection. On my forst serve I'm trying to hit it flat, or with what I call an agressive slice (i.e less spin and higher pace) On my second serve I am trying to get greater spin revolutions, therefore aim for a higher racket head speed.
I'm not aware of much of a grip change
Oh definitely -1st serve ball thrown out front, 2nd serve ball toss is more straight up and down
Some good suggestions here, but before your head starts spinning more then your second serve, lets summarize although you'd have to be a genius or an idiot savant to learn to play tennis from a book or a message board:
1) Toss ball directly over the button on your hat which is called the "12:00 o'clock" position on the imaginary clock. (but don't wear a hat while you're competing, they just get in the way, unless it's a proper Ozzie tennis hat with a piece of cabbage under it, on a scorching day with babies crying in the background). If you're doing this properly the bicep on your tossing arm will touch your cheek for a reference point (palm facing up).
2) Speed of the swing does not change, same as for a first.
3) And here's the key: When first learning the second serve, to give you an idea of the feeling of "knifing" the shot, hit the ball with the edge of your racket--and I do mean LITERALLY with the EDGE of your racket! Don't do this where infants or adults could be injured! The best place would be an open freshly harvested cornfield near Smith Center, Kansas, where no one will be watching to embarrass you or be injured--or alternatively on the outdoor roof-top courts of an urban tennis club where when the ball goes flying out to the intersection below you may hit the windshield of a passing Mercedes and cause a wreck--then run into a shower-stall and hide 'til the cops and the ambulance chasers leave.
4) Now hit 1,000,000 practice balls.
Actually, with almost all players advanced beyond 5.0, the second serve swing is faster than any first serve swings.
Why? Because you CAN. Second serve swings, as you mentioned, are led with the edge of the racket, more streamlined and aero.
First serve swings, usually flat or FAST topspin serves, the racket is more open at contact, so the rackethead slows down or never accelerates up to the speed of a spin oriented second serve.
I don't over think, I simply try to brush the ball more with my racket to get the spin I want.
I think there should be only one serve allow in tennis
Volleyball and all other rackets sports have one serve
It would speed up the match , make the game flow better, the server doesn't have the edge all the time, and no more questions like this to answer
Sounds like something coming from someone with a weak serve.
At the rec level so many games would be lost to a fault. I honestly feel for the people who struggle with a second serve on game point. Imagine how bad it would be knowing that you only get one serve at 5 serving 6 in a tie break lol...
Yes, toss back....tennis tom was correct, right over the button of your hat....(if you have one on)....this helps me the most. Also, I would kick it to the duece if you are a righty, and for me as a lefty, I kick it to the ad....what i mean is KICK IT MAN....make your opponent have to cheat over!

I had this net, it worked great! Unfortunately, relatives brought their dog and he chewed the net. I guess I should've know that might happen when "TopDawg" was in the company name.
They did buy me a new net for the fish.

A forensic team today began investigation to ascertain the reason for the fire in a hotel room where Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was staying after campaigning for the April 24 Lok Sabha poll. "The team has arrived and has started investigations to find out the cause of the fire which broke out yesterday," official sources said.
A separate inquiry was being made at the district level to ascertain the reason for yesterday's fire which broke out while Banerjee was in the bathroom. The fire services and the district police were also ascertaining the cause of the fire. The police had said that the AC in the room caught fire while Banerjee was inside the washroom. She had felt uneasy after inhaling smoke and shouted for an aide who came to her rescue and pulled her out of the smoke-filled room.
State Transport minister Madan Mitra reiterated that there was a 'conspiracy' behind the fire and demanded that the conspirators should be identified.
WBPCC chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said that it was surprising that no action was taken against the officials who were in charge of the chief minister's security. Referring to the allegation of a conspiracy, Chowdhury, the Union Minister of State for Railways, said only a CBI investigation could throw light on it.

The Number Three Sugar Substitute Truvia(TM) Natural Zero-Calorie Sweetener is Now Available in Spoonable Packaging
WAYZATA, Minn., May 25 /PRNewswire/ — Truvia(TM) natural sweetener, the great-tasting, zero-calorie sweetener made with rebiana, the best-tasting part of the stevia leaf is now available in spoonable packaging. Truvia(TM) spoonable is designed for use at home for consumers to spoon and sprinkle just the right amount of Truvia(TM) natural sweetener into coffee or tea, and onto cereal or fruit.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100525/NY10141 )
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080709/NYW014LOGO-b )
"Since introduction 18 months ago, Truvia(TM) natural sweetener has become the third largest brand in the sugar substitute category. Consumers have voted with their grocery carts choosing both the 40 and 80 count cartons in numbers that have grown each month. Today we are introducing a spoonable option that gives consumers more flexibility in using Truvia(TM) natural sweetener where sweetness is desired in foods and beverages", said Zanna McFerson, Assistant Vice President, Cargill Health and Nutrition and business director for the Truvia(TM) brand. "The introduction of Truvia(TM) spoonable is in response to growing demand and consumer requests for another way to enjoy their favorite natural sweetener."
The Truvia(TM) brand continues to drive growth and innovation in the sugar substitute category. Truvia(TM) tabletop sweetener has achieved a 7.6 percent of U.S. retail sales of the sugar substitutes category, surpassing Merisant's Equal® (aspartame) for the past 16 weeks. (ACNielsen 12 weeks ending 3/20/10; Food/Drug/Mass+Wal-Mart).
Truvia(TM) spoonable comes in an attractive jar that is reminiscent of a sugar bowl and is recyclable. The container can be repurposed to store small items at home, work or school.
Truvia(TM) natural sweetener sprinkles like sugar, has a crystal form, and a clean sweet taste. One teaspoon of Truvia(TM) spoonable is equivalent to the sweetness of 2 1/2 teaspoons of sugar. A full conversion chart as well as recipes for beverages, smoothies and baked goods is available at www.truvia.com.
Truiva(TM) spoonable is the equivalent in servings of an 80-count box of Truvia(TM) natural sweetener and will be available nationally at grocery retailers with the suggested retail price of $6.99.
Truvia(TM) rebiana as a natural sweetener ingredient is driving growth and bringing innovation to food and beverage companies. In this new sweetness category, Cargill and its partners have been "first" to introduce products such as beverages, yogurt, ice cream and confectionary with Truvia(TM) rebiana. More than 100 food and beverage companies are actively partnering with Cargill to develop new products with multiple launch timelines in 2010. Truvia(TM) rebiana is currently used in the following products: Glaceau vitaminwater10(TM) and vitaminwater zero(TM), Coca Cola Sprite® Green(TM), Odwalla® Reduced-Calorie Quencher, Kraft Crystal Light Pure Fitness, Kraft Nature's Splash®, True® Lemon Naturally Sweet, All Sport Naturally Zero(TM), Hansen's® Natural Lo-Cal Juices, Blue Sky® Free Sodas, Minute Maid Premium® Pomegranate Tea, Breyers YoCrunch® 100 Calorie Pack, Velamints breath mints and Dippin' Dots Chillz(TM).
