1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an adherent insert for artificial teeth, which insert comprises a nonwoven fabric, which is impregnated with an adhesive, and to a process of manufacturing such adherent inserts.
Description of the Prior Art
In order to increase the adhesiveness and active time of strictly pasty adhesives for artificial teeth, adherent inserts are known, which have been disclosed in DE-C-24 13 380 and consist of a nonwoven fabric, which is impregnated with an adhesive. When the adherent insert has been placed between the denture and the jaw, the fibers of the non-woven fabric virtually reinforce the adhesive and are intended to retard the washing of the adhesive out of the fabric. The nonwoven fabric of the known adherent inserts has been compressed with an adhesive consisting of a dry hydrocolloid powder, which will swell and be activated when it is moistened so that the adhesive can absorb a certain amount of liquid before the adhesive is saturated and the swollen adhesive has a certain adhesiveness. But the adhesive may be washed out of the fabric by mucus and other liquid. For this reason the known adherent inserts which comprise hydrocolloids or other swelling agents are not satisfactory and they cannot retain particularly mandibular dentures, which have rather small surfaces for adhesive contact, in such a manner that a desired safety and bond life are ensured.
For this reason it is an object of the invention to eliminate said disadvantages and to provide an adherent insert which is of the kind described first hereinbefore and which distinguishes by a particularly effective and persistent adhesiveness.
Another object of the invention is to provide a process for economically manufacturing such adherent inserts.
The first object set forth hereinbefore is accomplished in accordance with the invention resides in that the nonwoven fabric has been impregnated with an adhesive that consists of a viscous, sirupy mixture which contains alginate and/or carboxymethylcellulose or other hydrocolloids, polyvinyl acetate and a physiologically acceptable, water-insoluble solvent, such as glycerine triacetate or propyleneglycol. That adhesive has good adhesive properties because the alginate or the carboxymethylcellulose embedded in the polyvinylacetate prevents a washing of the adhesive out of the fabric and the polyvinyl acetate provides the adherent insert with adhesive properties. Besides, the adhesive exerts a particularly strong vacuum or suction action because when the insert has been placed between the denture and the jaw the adhesive will absorb moisture and will thus be converted to a compact gumlike composition, which is structurally reinforced by the non-woven fabric. That composition is forced against the surfaces for adhesive contact and under the compressive and tensile loads applied during chewing movements and the like will provide regions which are strongly adherent under the action of a vacuum and suction. Together with the adhesiveness of the insert that vacuum and suction action will ensure a surprisingly persistent and strong adhesive bond between the denture and the jaw to ensure a lasting, reliable wearing also of mandibular dentures. For this reason, contrary to other, similar adhesives (DE-C-35 46 367 or EPA 88 89 0202.0, which is no prior publication), alcohol is not used at all and any washing of the adhesive out of the fabric will be minimized. Any alcohol which would be used as a solvent would render the entire adhesive soluble in water. A water-insoluble solvent, which must obviously be physiologically acceptable, cannot be washed out of the fabric and for this reason will ensure the desired persistent bond. It will also prevent the adherent insert from drying up even in a poor package.
If release liners have been placed on both sides of the nonwoven fabric which has been impregnated with the adhesive, the insert will be hygienically protected and can neatly be handled.
In accordance with a further feature of the invention an effective adherent insert is economically manufactured in that a solution of polyvinyl acetate and a physiologically acceptable, water-insoluble solvent, such as glycerin triacetate or propylene glycol, is prepared, alginate and/or carboxymethylcellulose or other hydrocolloids are introduced into said solution, the entire mixture is heated to about 70� C. and is stirred to form a viscous sirupy mixture and that mixture is used to impregnate the entire nonwoven fabric. Most desirably, a solution of about 70% polyvinyl acetate and 30% solvent is prepared and 100 parts by weight of that solution are mixed with 74 parts by weight alginate or carboxymethylcellulose or with 34 parts by weight alginate and 40 parts by weight carboxymethylcellulose. A temperature of at least 70� C. is required for the dissolution of the polyvinyl acetate. At the same temperature, alginate and/or carboxymethyl cellulose are added to that solution. The entire mixture is then stirred in a usual stirring vessel to form a viscous sirupy composition. In a separate vessel, the nonwoven fabric is impregnated with the mixture, also at 70� C., and is subsequently pulled through a stripping system. The resulting adhesive is viscous in a hot state and when cooled down in the nonwoven fabric constitutes a strong, compact, highly adhesive substance, which can hardly be dissolved in water and will produce the desired adhesive and suction action.
It is particularly desirable that in accordance with the invention the nonwoven fabric is impregnated with hot adhesive, the latter is then stripped off to a small thickness, the impregnated nonwoven fabric is then provided with covering films on both sides and the resulting laminate is subsequently punched to form blanks which conform to the denture and are packaged as adherent inserts which are ready for use. To make the adherent inserts a continuous nonwoven web is pulled through the adhesive, which is contained in a tank and is maintained at a temperature of 70� C. The nonwoven web which has absorbed the viscous, hot adhesive is then passed through a stripping system, in which the surplus adhesive is wiped off and the web is sized to a predetermined thickness. The impregnated nonwoven fabric thus obtained may now be covered on both sides with rolled-on covering films and is then sized in a roll system to the required thickness of 0.5 mm. The prefabricated web is then fed to an embossing and punching apparatus, in which suitable blanks are cut, which are subsequently packaged. The economical process which has been described results in adherent inserts which are immediately ready for use and are protected against drying out so that they can be stored for a long time. The adherent inserts are thin. They have the same adhesiveness on both sides and are sufficiently elastic to facilitate their application to the dentures.
The adherent insert in accordance with the invention distinguishes in that the preproduced adhesive is introduced in a hot state into a single layer of a nonwoven fabric and a thin insert is obtained when the adhesive has been set. Because the single-ply nonwoven fabrics are thin, the use of the insert will not increase the height of the bite because the average thickness of the singly-ply nonwoven fabric is not in excess of 0.5 mm whereas conventional inserts have a thickness of 1.5 mm.
Because the hydrocolloids are firmly embedded in the adhesive, the adherent insert in accordance with the invention permits an ingress of liquid only in a small amount into the nonwoven fabric to produce the slight swelling required for the desired suction action. The persistence of the suction action for a long time is due to the fact that the liquids which produce the suction action are taken up by the adhesive only in small amounts. As a result, the necessary ingress of some liquid will be ensured but a washing of the adhesive out of the nonwoven fabric will be prevented.
Because the nonwoven fabric is not impregnated with an adhesive which contains alcohol as a solvent and which obviously cannot bond to the nonwoven fabric but will be washed out of the fabric in use, but the nonwoven fabric is impregnated at an elevated temperature with a viscous substance, which is solidified and becomes compact as it is allowed to cool and is thus bonded to the nonwoven fabric, so that a particularly strong and persistent adhesive and suction action is ensured.

CEDAR FALLS – No one had to rub their rosary beads or light a prayer candle unless they really wanted to do so. There was no "Immaculate Recovery" this time.
"That's a good thing," laughed Hunter Baldus.
Mostly Baldus and his Cedar Rapids Xavier teammates did Friday afternoon at the UNI-Dome what they have done with regularity the past two football seasons. That'd be their jobs, as they so often put it.
A 31-7 conquest of Bettendorf in a Class 4A state playoff semifinal at the UNI-Dome was so typical Saints: workmanlike overall and smothering defensively.
"I said I wasn't going to do this," said an emotionally broken-up Xavier Coach Duane Schulte, whose father, Greg, passed away over the summer. "My mom and dad were married 60 years, and they prayed for us all the time. I'd like to think they had a part in this (win), too. But all the credit goes to our kids. They played hard."
Definitely hard and well enough to reach the 4A championship game for the second time in as many years. Top-ranked West Des Moines Dowling (13-0) is the opponent, another high-flying offensive team from the Central Iowa Metro League (or whatever district they're in), a la last year's title game.
Xavier (12-1) lost a close one then to Ankeny. Will it be able to turn that around next Friday night?
"We've done our jobs up to now," Baldus said. "Now we've got to finish it."
This was the first time Xavier and Bettendorf played since their classic 2006 semifinal, a game Xavier won on a 95-yard fumble return for touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Hence, "The Immaculate Recovery."
But three unanswered touchdowns from Wes Gardner made certain something like that wouldn't be needed again. The senior running back-defensive back jumped a wide receiver screen pass late in the second quarter for a 17-yard 'Pick Six' that put Xavier on top at halftime, 14-7.
He added a 4-yard touchdown run off tackle on the Saints' first offensive possession of the second half and ran back his second punt in as many games, this one 62 yards, to end the third quarter. Quite the individual performance.
"Wes is Wes," Schulte said. "That's what we say. Wes is Wes."
"Pretty incredible," Gardner said. "No credit to me, though. My teammates came out ready to play."
Baldus ran a tight end screen pass from Quinton Scholer 73 yards for a TD three and a half minutes into the game. Ryan Persick's 37-yard field goal in the final minute provided the final margin.
"I had two or three blockers out in front of me," Baldus said of his first touchdown, which came immediately after Schulte had called timeout because Baldus and fellow tight end Matt Nelson were mistakenly in the game at the same time. "They opened it up nicely, and I just ran."
Cyle Cox's 34-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Scheib early in the second quarter tied it at 7-7 for Bettendorf (10-3), the first – and thus far only – points Xavier has allowed in four postseason games. But Cox completed just 10 of 40 throws for 119 yards.
Though Scholer threw for 171 yards, Xavier was unable to get any sort of running game established, which must be a tad concerning leading into next week. The Saints finished with just 36 yards on 38 attempts.
This was frankly a punt-athon, with each team kicking eight times.
"On film, they (looked like) a great team," Scholer said. "Coming out here and playing against them is a whole different thing than watching them on film. They were really fast, really big. All the credit to them. They're a great defense."

Box office receipts have given Kathryn Bigelow's controversial film "Zero Dark Thirty" the coveted opening weekend lead, an indication that regular Americans don't care about the critics' assertions that the motion picture is nothing more than a snuff film or a civil libertarian's nightmare. For most Americans, the movie theater is the closest we will ever get to witnessing the moment Osama Bin Laden was taken out.
The multiple Academy Award-nominated film, which chronicles the CIA's decade-long manhunt for the 9/11 mastermind, isn't as emotionally or artistically poignant as Bigelow's previous war film "The Hurt Locker" but art isn't the end goal anyway.
"Zero" is stealth brilliance in that it moves with the speed and style of an episode of HBO's "The Wire": gritty and episodic. There's lots of computer clicking, plodding interrogations, car rides and yelling bureaucrats. Jason Bourne never shows up with a shot of adrenaline. The main action sequences are devoted to the Al-Qaeda leader's killing by SEAL Team Six and even those final moments are relatively anti-climatic. I got more goosebumps watching the Ravens-Broncos playoff.
The film's lead character Maya is a fictional stand-in for a real female CIA analyst. The redheaded and red-blooded Maya hates politics and loves lighting up her superiors. She has more passion for data point minutia and shows initial disdain for the Navy SEAL team and their shock and awe swag. "I wanted to drop a bomb," she says, referring to the Pakistani compound where she traces Bin Laden. Thank goodness, someone rerouted that idea.
Emotional scenes are used sparingly but their scantness is no accident. The fact that the film sticks with the many declassified details of the campaign while leaving the emotional wrangling to the viewer is refreshing. I don't always want and never need a movie to tell me how to feel. The much-reported torture scenes are brutal but for a generation that was raised on Quentin Tarantino and Jack Bauer, the shock won't be in the violence itself but in the infliction of it. Plenty of good ethics and morality discussions with your friends will ensue.
All that to say, I still consider this film a must-see event in the same way that previous 9/11-related films were. It's historically relevant and is both an inspiring and enlightening look at the many turns this nation has taken since that dark morning in September.
The highlight of the film for me was another Oscar-worthy performance by Jessica Chastain. Few will recognize her white-knuckled, snappy Maya as the squeaky, curvacious Celia Foote from "The Help."
After seeing "Zero Dark Thirty", swing by your local bookstore for a more in-depth look at the rise and fall of Osama Bin Laden. "The Looming Tower" by Lawrence Wright is a Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the road to 9/11 and is an authoritative biography of both Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.
NBC Middle East correspondent Richard Engel's memoir "War Journal" chronicles his five-year stint in Iraq and includes some fascinating passages about Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein and how both men had separate but similar strategies to turn Afghanistan and Iraq into "holy wars" for militant Muslims to kill thousands of Americans and subsequently bankrupt the U.S. government.
You can also learn the real story behind the hit on Osama Bin Laden not from Hollywood but from the Navy SEAL members themselves. "No Easy Day" is the memoir of SEAL Team member Matt Bissonnette and his rise through the ranks of the mysterious unit. The book notably starts out with Bissonnette training at the SEAL river war facility at the Stennis Space Center in Hancock County. It was my privilege recently to see some of this facility and it is great to think of the role Mississippi plays in SEAL history.
One final note: In addition to the Bin Laden raid, Bissonette and SEAL Team Six took part in the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates in 2009. This is another SEAL success story that Hollywood is taking a crack at. Stay tuned.

Fundraising for CZC
"It takes a village to raise a child."
Time goes by so fast. We all age & get older, and death is inevitable. Yet as wonderful & precious life is, it also seems unfair some children grow up without a mother or father.
Panhandling is awkward & soliciting can make people uncomfortable.
Nevertheless, I want to help raise awareness for the non-profit organization, Comfort Zone Camp.
Comfort Zone Camp is an amazing organization. They help children grieve and mourn the loss of a loved one. I have participated in a few camps and have seen CZC provide so much for hundreds of children.
The bereavement camps are free to children (and their families), and hopefully CZC can financially continue providing camps to many more kids. If anyone wants to be a part of a proverbial "village" in raising a child, consider volunteering or donating.
Any amount is appreciated. A dollar or two...or $5. Every little bit counts and together, collectively, many children can & will benefit.
"Comfort Zone Camp is a nonprofit 501(c)3 bereavement camp offered free of charge to children, ages 7-17, who have suffered the death of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver. Camps primary objective is to break the severe emotional isolation children feel after a family loss. To do this, we offer a blend of traditional camp activities, trust-building activities, 1:1 mentorship, and grief counseling, as well as an ongoing support network that will be there for each camper long after camp is over. Camps are located in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Virginia."

TAMA COUNTY, Iowa - Some members of the Sac and Fox - or Meskwaki - tribe are frustrated over a medal ceremony in Washington D.C. last month. The ceremony awarded Congressional Silver Medals to native American Indians who served as code talkers in World Wars I and II.
Some of the sons and daughters of the Meskwaki code talkers went to the ceremony, only to find out that their individual silver medals wouldn't be presented to them. During the silver medal ceremony, Melissa Youngbear, daughter of one of the Meskwaki code talkers, approached a coordinator to see when she'd receive his medal.
"We spoke to her, and she said, 'you're not getting any medals. They've been shipped back to the tribal building,'" Youngbear said. She admitted that there had been some discussion about that before she went to Washington D.C., but feels one important part was left out.
"They did say 'we're going to ship the medals back,' but I thought we'd receive them, and then ship them," Youngbear told us. Since then, she had no knowledge about where her father's medal was.
"I haven't heard anything about them since we got back. Nobody's called me or talked to me," Youngbear said.
But just moments later, our interview took an unexpected turn, when Lavern Jefferson, a legion post commander, showed up.
"You're getting your medals. All of the families are getting their medals," Jefferson told Youngbear.
But even after that news, Youngbear was still disappointed that she wasn't told about that plan sooner.
"The families that went on this trip went for nothing," Youngbear said to Jefferson. He responded, "I understand that. I had nothing to do with that. I'm trying to make it right with the families. I know the medals belong to you guys, and when they get here, I will be handing them over to you."
Jefferson declined to be interviewed on camera, but he told us that Youngbear and the families of the other Meskwaki medal recipients will get the medals during a New Year's Eve powwow.
We reached out the Meskwaki Tribal Council for comment, but we had not received a response as of Tuesday evening.

"Telling the Army Story . . . one Soldier at a time." ©
The United States Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC), is an internationally recognized research center, museum, and educational campus located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. USAHEC preserves the memories of Soldiers, honors their service, and educates an international audience. Its staff of historians, archivists, librarians, curators, conservators, and technicians make available relevant studies, exhibits, and presentations that describe and highlight the history of our Nation's Army and its Soldiers.
"Telling the Army story . . . one Soldier at a time"© is the focus of the Center's energy. Since the mid-1960s, historians, academic researchers, and family historians from across the globe have come to the Center, and its predecessor organization, the U.S. Army Military History Institute, to access its specialized research library, its collection of Soldier papers, and its photo archives. Since 2005, the general public, students, and veterans have gained extra insights as USAHEC developed indoor and outdoor exhibits to communicate the challenges and rewards of service in our Army. Today these exhibits can be found on the Army Heritage Trail, in the Soldier Experience Gallery, and in Ridgway Hall.
Access to the archives and to the exhibit areas is free and open to the public. USAHEC is a component of the U.S. Army War College, and the Department of the Army funds its operations and programs.
The Campus
USAHEC currently includes four of five planned components:
Future campus facilities include:
The Collection
The USAHEC collection has been described by Pulitzer Prize winner Rick Atkinson as a "national treasure." Today, the collection includes over 15 million manuscript pages, 35,000 veteran surveys, 327,000 books, and over 1.7 million photographs, including more than 100,000 Civil War images. The library collection includes the most comprehensive collection of army regulations and manuals in the country. The artifact collection includes more than 50,000 items.
The Army Heritage Center Foundation
USAHEC's supporting foundation, the Military Heritage Foundation, doing business as the Army Heritage Center Foundation, is a IRS approved 501(c)(3) non-profit incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Foundation receives no support from the federal government. Federal law allows the Foundation to work with the U.S. Army to support the development and operation of USAHEC and to manage business activities within the Center.
The Foundation's primary focus today is to obtain funds to support construction of Phase Two of the Visitor and Education Center and the Army Heritage Center and support programs that enhance the visitor experience.
History and Development of the Campus
The U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center grew in stages over 50 years. Formed in 1967 as the Military History Research Collection, a branch of the U.S. Army War College Library, the Institute was established to serve as a specialized library and as the primary repository for unofficial Army historical materials – Soldiers' letters, diaries, photos, and art. (Official U.S. Army records and other materials belong to the National Archives.) Renamed the U.S. Army Military History Institute in 1977, for most of its existence, the Institute was housed in Upton Hall on Carlisle Barracks. Built in 1941 as an academic building for the Medical Field Service School, Upton Hall was adequate as a library but ill-suited for the size and preservation needs of a major archive.
Beginning in the early 1980s, the leadership began an effort to build a dedicated archival facility, and in 1999, the Army Secretary of the Army Louis Caldera began the process that led to the development of the U. S. Army Heritage and Education Center. In May 1999, he authorized the development of an Army museum at Carlisle. His successor, Secretary of the Army Thomas E. White, formally established USAHEC and approved the construction of a new facility, the present-day Ridgway Hall. In his letter announcing USAHEC, he stated: "We will relocate its [the institute's] documents and holdings—the unofficial history of the United States Army—into a newly built state-of-the art archive, give that facility responsibility for administering historical documents and photographs Army wide, and associate it with an educational facility and a museum."
Since 1999, the development of USAHEC has been a public private partnership. Cumberland County, Pennsylvania donated the 56 acres that today serves as the Center's campus. Army Construction funds, grants from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and donations from corporations, foundations, and individuals have all supported the development of the Center.
Ridgway Hall, a federally funded construction project, opened in September 2004 as a research facility that is open to the public. The facility provides outstanding public research areas and environmentally controlled storage for the USAHEC paper and audiovisual collections.
The Conservation Center, another federally funded facility, opened in 2012 with state of the art laboratories and artifact storage to support USAHEC's conservators and curators' preservation efforts. The facility is not open to the public.
Phase One of the Visitor and Education Center (VEC) is a facility that the Army Heritage Center Foundation opened to the public in 2011. Grants from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and numerous donations from foundations, corporations, and individuals supported the construction of the facility. The VEC includes a 7,000 square feet exhibit and interpretive gallery, two multipurpose rooms, a cafe, museum shop, and other facilities for hosting large groups and providing educational programming.
The Army Heritage Trail is a one-mile (1.6 km) walking path of outdoor exhibits and markers on various eras in U.S. Army history. Notable exhibits include a replica American Revolutionary War redoubt from the 1781 Siege of Yorktown, cabins built to resemble those of French and Indian War and American Civil War encampments, several replica camp buildings from World War II, a Vietnam Firebase, and a section of trenches from World War I, with shell hole-marked no-man's land, and a corresponding German pillbox. The trail is open to the public year-round during daylight hours. The trail hosts a few large living history events during the year. Re-enactors also spend time on the trail on most summer weekends.
Along with further expansion of the Army Heritage Trail, the U. S. Army Heritage and Education Center plans two additional buildings for the near future. They include Phase Two of the Visitor and Education Center and the Army Heritage Center. Both projects will require non-federal and private funds to support construction.

It always intrigues me how people look outside themselves as soon as they think about making a change. If you've spent any time or thought thinking about finding a job, you've probably bought more books on interviewing than you'll ever read and talked the ears off of your nearest and dearest.
Most interview books tell you how to practice for the interview as if it was a test. I'm not saying this kind of preparation doesn't have value – it does and, if you're lucky, you might even be asked one or two of the questions/answers that you've rehearsed. Other books promise to help you find your dream job and to "find your bliss". Well, they have their value too. After all, hope and aspirations are what our civilization was built on.
Interestingly, few truly focus on YOU, the EXPERT on your candidacy. Preparing answers to questions you may or may not get asked feeds into your fears and, while you're playing the guessing game, will also add a hefty portion of worry, doubt and anxiety to boot!!
I say control the things you can!.
In times of change simplicity gets my vote every time and the following Skills Inventory technique is one that I have found works for every candidate no matter where you are in your career. The best part is that you can do it wherever you are as long as you have a pen and blank paper!
Here we go:
1. Take a piece of paper and divide the page in two columns. Label one of them Education and the other one Dates. Next step: list the schools/colleges you attended and qualifications obtained under the first column and dates attended/graduated in the second column. Also make sure to list any achievements whilst at school – Swim Team Captain? Editor of the School Paper? you get the gist.
2. Take another piece of paper and divide it in three. This time label the columns Jobs, Dates, Responsibilities.
3. List every single job you have had and the dates you were there. While you are at it, include any volunteer positions or internships (if applicable). In this instance – the more detail, the better. The more self knowledge you have the better equipped you'll be to ace the interview.
3. Now list all your responsibilities under each job. Now list the skills those responsibilities translate to. Start with the tactical/technical skills and expand it to softer ones like communication and people management abilities.
4. Beyond What you did, Where and When you did it – think about the impact you had. What are the things you are proud of? Did you save money? Drive revenues? Solve problems/remove obstacles? Keep high standards during tough times? What mistakes did you make? What did you learn from them?
Once this is done – take it in – look at the experience you bring to the table. Appreciate your talents. Don't be modest or critical – give credit where it's due!
How do you feel about yourself? Are you surprised by how much you've done/can do? Did life get so busy that you forgot? Do you feel confident that you can now clearly talk about your experience and why someone should hire you?
Do you feel good about your abilities but glum about the prospect of doing this job "forever"?! Then take another sheet of paper, divide it into two columns, label one Current Job(s) and the other Ideal Job and list all the skills in the first column, copy the skills you ENJOY doing into the second column and add new ones – you don't have to throw the baby out with the bath water! – keep what you love doing and build on it by finding experiences that expand your horizons and abilities.
Have fun with this foundational step – it should be fun and clarifying – next blog: how to match your existing skills and aspirations to finding the right job.

It's about time
I don't use MetroPCS but I like them. If they think they're doing okay now, imagine after getting an AWS Blackberry and an Android device. The Blackberry is really gonna do in places like NYC where it's AWS only and the 8330 didn't work. Very good. Now all they need to do is pick up that Kyocera Android device that came out a few weeks and they'll be set. Guarantee you, activations will go up substantially.

Heinz 'whistle' by AMV BBDO
Heinz has launched a new £2m TV and radio advertising campaign to promote the tagline 'It has to be Heinz' in the run up to the winter soup season.
The TV ad, made by Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO features people of all ages in a wide range of settings about to take their first spoonful of Heinz Soup.
Before they swallow their mouthful, each person pauses and blows to cool the soup down and a whistling tune is heard.
The same tune continues from person to person, which Heinz believes will "bring to life the feelings of satisfaction and comfort" from a bowl of Heinz Soup. The ad aims to demonstrate Heinz soups are a 'quick, tasty and nutritious meal'.

A Life Sentence... For Pot?
In March of 2011, federal agents in hazmat suits — guns brandished and sirens blaring — raided dozens of marijuana greenhouses and dispensaries in Montana, and arrested citizens who were growing pot in accordance with the state's medical marijuana law. It all happened without warning — unlike in California and other states where fair notice, and lead time, was given to folks so they could close up shop. The timing of the raids was highly suspicious. They took place on the very day — the very hour, in fact — that the Montana Legislature was holding a much-anticipated hearing on how to tweak the medical marijuana statute, so as to cut down on recreational use and sham prescriptions, and also to clarify several parts of the law that were ambiguous.
The top federal prosecutor in Montana — Mike Cotter, the U.S. attorney appointed by President Obama in 2009 — then charged the growers, their greenhouse workers, their bookkeepers, some of their spouses, and even their landlords who had simply provided buildings to the growers with decades in prison and in some cases virtual life sentences, all under federal drug trafficking statutes.
Now Cotter is breaking his silence and speaking publicly, for the first time, about his two-year crusade to shutter the medical marijuana industry and put its practitioners behind bars, in many cases for life sentences. And he is mincing no words. He says that pot has no medical value at all, for anyone, and that if you think otherwise, you are a sucker who has been duped "by slick Madison Avenue marketing" employed by pot dealers. He says pot is a dangerous drug and growing it is a federal crime that must be punished.
The opposite of what doctors have long believed about the benefits of marijuana for many patients, these comments go a long way in explaining much of what happened in Montana over the last two years.
When Cotter charged these citizens in 2011, he gave no credence to a very basic protest that they all made: they'd been assured in writing, by Eric Holder, the U.S. attorney general, that they could grow medical marijuana and the feds wouldn't prosecute them.

Sooo crazy how they can even
Sooo crazy how they can even think about charging someone with decades in prison on what im thinking is their first charge for growing medical marijuana legally in their home state. Its just tragic, please try to keep us informed on this story I bet a lot of us would like to keep up to date! Thanks for all the news cannabisculture
I would love to see someone
I would love to see someone beat that man, then while hes crying in pain force him to smoke a fucking joint and then say it has no medical value. We've been passive about this for far too long.
Mike Cotter
Mike Cotter is an ignorant, mindless sack of shit. He should be strung up by his balls (if he has any), then tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.
How much money is he being
How much money is he being paid by the drug companies to make these statements? Sounds like he's done lots of research. He's a dick wacker and a bought one at that, just like most of the rest of America's government.
Why government does not work
Mike Cotter will say anything (no matter how ridiculous or untrue) to defend the size of his department and budget. This seems to be the case with all government departments - they will not cut their size or spending even if they know the money is being wasted. In government there is no reward for success (since they claim everything is a success) and no punishment for failure (they usually blame the previous administration). The only things they have are how much money they spend, how many people work for them and how much power they have over peoples' lives. This system needs to change and marijuana prohibition just highlights how dysfunctional our society's system of government really is.
I'm Not Surprised. Are You?
The top federal prosecutor in Montana — Mike Cotter, the U.S. attorney appointed by President Obama in 2009 —
Obbummer taking your freedoms away, one step at a time.
Retire and Go Look for Sasquatch
This guy is so behind the times, but then so are Haag and Leonhart. Don't their jobs suck, doing something a majority of Americans don't want them to do?! The facts are irrelevant when you argue the law and the law is Not based on the facts. Is this guy from Montana, or is he some carpetbagger the feds stationed there for a 4-year assignment or tour of duty he got orders for? He's acting like he's not from the community, and has no vested interest in the community, and has no respect for the will of the voters in his neck of the woods. Looks like another prohibitionist federal clone like most of the others. Kerlikowske, from Florida, went to Seattle, now in D.C.. probably will retire in the Sun Belt. These prohibitionists are like poison ivy vines growing out from Washington, D.C. They're definitely where we don't want them. Too bad they can't completely mess up their investigations consistently so they're just going through the motions. Just give up taking your jobs seriously!
Kind of Ironic
It's kind of ironic how this guy is doing the exact opposite of what Marc was doing. Marc got busted for selling seeds to fund the end of prohibition and this guy is using every thing he has to maintain prohibition but he can walk free. Cotter is a traitor because this is a democracy and he is a DICKtator and does not follow the will of the people! Put his ass in JAIL!
a twenty cent bullet is what
a twenty cent bullet is what this guy deserves.
exactly right there. someone
exactly right there. someone should throw that jigger in jail and lock away the key
There's a new Sheriff in town!
I thought we had some cement heads up here in Canada playing Sheriff. I beg to differ on your statement that pot is a dangerous drug with no medicinal value. Mike, you don't look like a doctor or scientist. Show us the proof. Show us even one body. Government propaganda has no limits to arrogance and ignorance. Bulling the mostly harmless cannabis medicinal community is like taking candy from a baby. Not nearly as dangerous as arresting crack and meth dealers or gangsta's. On a religious crusade. Religion and power can be more dangerous than any drug least of all pot.

Rapture in 2011?
Harold Camping seems to think so....again! - you can read about it here.
Please do not tell me that this is a classic case of dispensationalism gone a muck. This is where a literal hermeneutic turns into a psychic hermeneutic. It is sad when those who take eschatology to an extreme end up making those of us who look and long for the victorious and triumphant return of Christ to this earth look silly and pompous.
This should remind us of a few things here:
There are some things about eschatology that we do not understand. Right?
Date setting and irresponsible speculation forces us to read something into eschatological texts that are not there.
Let's be sure to be prudent and biblical when teaching about our Lord's return.
Looking for the Rapture is much different than setting dates for the Rapture. Knowing that our Lord could take us home as an imminent event that could happen at any time should produce in us an awareness and reality about the brevity of our own life and an expectation of a glorious eternity!
Labels: date setting, eschatology, Harold Camping, the Rapture

Everything has been basically a makeshift tag team since their short revival of the division. It takes up time that doesn't need to be taken up. If you didn't see the Colons, or the Usos, or Prime Time Players for a few weeks, would it really matter that much?
Agreed with all of this blog pretty much. I'm just late to the party on one point: what happened to Kenneth Cameron?
Yeah I would love to see all these I love great tagteam action.
Good stuff. Brodus and Tensai turning into vicious heels would be great.
Hmm... i cant really see any way anyone could tear this apart. Hell i agreed with all of it. Hell no looks to be on its way out, with kane and db's fighting being less goofy and looking more resentful, so itd be a good time for one of these teams to get a monster push to take over the top team spot. Oh, and as for the NAO idea, loved it! One of the best teams in history!!!
wow team cena is just the merchandise team

Moneybookers, now known as Skrill, is one of the most popular e-wallets used by online casino players to make payments and cashouts. The payment processor provides virtually instant cash transfers and in many cases, same day payments. Skrill is widely used in mainland Europe and has a customer base of over 21 million people. It was founded in 2001 as Moneybookers, and has since then provided casino and sportsbook player a safe and cheaper alternative to transfer funds to and from online gambling accounts. Most online casinos offer Skrill as a payment method for both deposits and withdrawals. One of the biggest benefits for online casino players using Skrill is the low fees involved. The payment processor complies with Financial Services Authority regulations, making it a safer alternative for online transactions. They also guarantee the safety of your personal and financial details. Online casinos usually do not charge for making deposits or withdrawals using Skrill. However, the company does charge a small fee for depositing or withdrawing funds to and from your Skrill account. Using a Maestro debit card to deposit funds into your Skrill account or withdrawing via bank transfer or Visa will not attract any charge. To withdraw from your Skrill account via Visa or bank transfer attracts a flat fee of £1.41. Skrill promises to make online casino deposits as simple as possible. In addition, the ease of use of low fees structure makes it a preferred choice of many online casino players. Besides, it's an ideal choice for those who are not willing to expose their credit cards online. Users can register with Skrill and start using the payment system at online casinos instantly. They guarantee to keep every customer's personal information confidential and money safe. Withdrawals are also an easy process with Skrill. As a Skrill account holder you will need to buy a pre-paid Moneybookers MasterCard that is linked to Skrill e-wallet. This prepaid card attracts a lower withdrawal fee and can be used at many ATMs in over 200 countries. It also offers users to directly transfer funds to their bank account, which is usually processed within 1-3 banking days. Skrill has a straightforward registration process which also involves registering for a pre-paid debit card that can be used to withdraw funds. While the registration process is simple they do make the effort to follow strict verification measures so that no account is ever compromised. It is also worth noting that many casinos offer a deposit bonus for using Skrill.

Saskatchewan producers are expecting to harvest higher totals of Saskatchewan's three main crops according to a Statistics Canada production report released on Aug. 22.Stats Canada's report outlining July's estimates of production of principal field crops is calling for higher production of wheat, barley and canola. The largest jump is projected to be in barley production where production is expected to rise 21.9 per cent to 3.0 million tonnes. Saskatchewan farmers are anticipating to record an 8.4 per cent increase in wheat production. Canola growers in the province are expecting to record new production record yields this year, expecting to produce 7.3 million tonnes of canola, up 4.5 per cent from the 2011 record of 7.0 million tonnes.Canada wide, the report is forecasting record canola production totals this year, along with increased production of wheat, barley and soybeans.On the prairies, farmers are anticipating a record 15.2 million metric tonnes of canola, eclipsing the record of 14.0 million tonnes set in 2011. Farmers in all three Prairie provinces anticipate an increase in canola production, with the potential for records in Saskatchewan and Alberta.Total wheat production on the Prairies is expected to reach 24.8 million tonnes in 2012, up 9.7 per cent from 22.6 million tonnes in 2011. This increase is anticipated despite a decline in average yield from 42.1 bushels per acre in 2011 to 41.5 bushels per acre in 2012. The decline in yield would be offset by an 11.4 per cent increase in harvested area to just under 22.0 million acres.Barley production on the Prairies is anticipated to rise 23.8 per cent to 9.0 million tonnes in 2012. This is the result of farmers expecting a record average yield of 65.1 bushels per acre, breaking the previous record of 63.3 bushels per acre set in 2008, combined with an increased area to be harvested of 6.3 million acres, up 16.9 per cent from 5.4 million acres in 2011.Nationally, total soybean production in 2012 is anticipated to increase 3.7 per cent to just over 4.4 million tonnes.The national production of corn for grain is anticipated to reach just over 11.7 million tonnes, up 9.5 per cent from 2011.

Just wondering if a new story will be written about the effects of Aster Yellow in the Saskatchewan crops, which have really detered these high expectations for Sask crops. East Central Saskatchewan is NOT bumper crops, and probably won't be seen after heat, drought, and disease.

A German tourist has been jailed for ten months, after Customs officers found more than 35,000 child sexual abuse images on his laptop.
Markus Balzer, 42, was arrested when he arrived at Christchurch Airport from Germany on March 6 this year, carrying a laptop containing Japanese Manga cartoon images of child sexual abuse.
Balzer indicated to Customs officers that he was an author who receives the images from clients to turn into electronic books for retail sale.
Forensic examination of the laptop found more than 570 electronic books compiled from over 35,000 images of sexual acts between young children.
Balzer pleaded guilty to importation charges and was sentenced at the Christchurch District Court yesterday.
Shane Panettiere, Customs' Acting Group Manager Investigations and Response, says child sexual exploitation imagery of any kind is prohibited in New Zealand, and importation is a serious criminal offence.
"Whether it is an actual child or a cartoon, every image depicts a child being sexually abused, degraded, exploited and tortured and nothing excuses this offence," he said.
"The reality of child sexual exploitation imagery is grim enough, but undertaking a commercial enterprise around this activity is horrific."
This year, Customs has successfully prosecuted six offenders in relation to child sexual abuse material.

CI students to sell crafts at Farmer's Market
Kindergarten through fifth grade students will sell handcrafted products they've created during Children International's Mind Your Own Business Summer Camp from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, July 2, at the Farmer's Market, located at the Little Rock River Market.
Products at the sale will include pinwheels, greeting cards, jewelry, and coasters. All proceeds will benefit Arkansas Children's Hospital Cancer Research.
The free Mind Your Own Business camp in which 150 elementary students participate began June 10 and concludes July 3. Hosted at Wakefield Elementary, it offers fun, hands-on educational opportunities to keep children learning in the summer.
The focus involves lessons tied to the Arkansas Department of Education's benchmarks in reading, math, and art. A business curriculum provides students an opportunity to apply basic math concepts and skills to real-world situations while developing problem solving, creative and critical-thinking skills. Students also learn life, leadership and entrepreneurial skills and how to become active participants in their future success.
The camp also helps foster positive self-images in their art and ability to communicate. This includes learning about ethics and public speaking. In learning about selling, teams of students select and name their product, design a business plan, and create a marketing plan — activities requiring students to work together and include math and reading lessons. In the end, they learn how to give back by donating all the proceeds to a nonprofit organization.
This is the 10th year UALR Children International has offered the summer camp, which also provides on-site dental care to campers.

Ramon 'singles hitter' Hernandez: $2M
Orlando 'no range' Cabrera: $3M
There were certainly not a lot of prime catchers or shortstops available last winter in the free agent market. Walt chose to patch these positions with Hernandez & Cabrera. The money to do so came from selling Mr Enthusiasm to the As for $1.3M and also from restructuring/extending Rolen's deal.
I have a really bad feeling that the Reds flushed $5M down the toilet. There is already a five page (!) post regarding Cabrera's lack of range. Hernandez had a weak year in 2009 & isn't getting any younger.
So you ask: well if the free agent market was weak what should Walt have done? Easy answer. where's Maloney? stuck in AAA. where's Heisey? in AAA and sitting behind Stubbs on the depth chart. Alonso? AA and trying to learn a new position. Francisco? well he is here for now but most expect him to be headed for AAA on Sunday. My point: should Walt have decided last winter who to keep & who to trade from the prospects bunching up in AA/AAA & used a few of these prospects to swing a deal for a shortsop and/or catcher instead of getting Hernanndez & Cabrera. I say he messed up. what say you?

What would you have Korn sign?
I, unfortunately, haven't yet gotten a chance to go to a korncert or meet the guys. But I've spent a lot of time thinking about when I do go, what I'd have them sign. I've seen on videos people bring big posters, rare memorabilia, homemade gifts, but I don't really have all that much! I figured unless I get something really cool in the near future, I'd bring my TALITM Korn Skrapbook so they could sign the front and back covers. So I was wondering, what would you have them sign, or if you've already met them, what did you bring for them to sign? If you have a signed item post a picture if you want! I was just wondering what you guys think!
Then, now, and forever... A.D.W.D.A.K.!!!

A guide to student bus passes
Students have a love-hate relationship with buses. They're essential for most of us, but not always cheap. Buy a bus pass and you're on to big savings.
Most university cities now have local bus operators offering students passes. They end up being much much cheaper than buying standard tickets over the year, so if you're planning on busing it around uni, get one.
In this guide we'll first make sure you actually need one before getting into the various operators and kinds of passes.
Do I need a student bus pass?
If you plan on using the bus, then yes you probably do. In most cities there are different kinds of passes available, covering both time periods (ie. weekly, per term, yearly) and distances.
The average student will have lectures most weekdays and live a fair distance from campus. So generally speaking, you'll probably be using the bus twice daily for uni, and then you've got all the nights out and other trips to town.
Perhaps you're not 'the average' and don't think you'll use the bus all that much. In that case it's down to you to weigh up the cost of X amount of single tickets versus the cost of the bus pass divided by X amount of days of estimated use.
What's the best pass to get?
In most cases, buying an annual student pass is the most economical choice and gives you great flexibility to travel whenever you want.
They cover all times of day, including nighttime when the cost of a single ticket can be up to twice as much! So the savings really add up. For example an Annual UniRider can save Manchester students up to £300 a year.
Bear in mind that there may be more than one student bus operator, in which case it's worth comparing what they offer and for what price.
Student bus passes
Now you're sure you need to get a student bus pass, it's time to work out where to get it! Different private bus operators cover different regions and cities, and routes within them. They don't all offer discount student passes, but the ones that do are listed below.
Stagecoach UniRider
Stagecoach operate services in many university cities across the country, and have a strong presence in Scotland. Their student bus pass is called the UniRider and it's one of the best value passes for students out there.
You can opt for either an annual pass (cheaper) or for a term. The cost varies from city-to-city (related to variations in single ticket prices) but make sure you buy yours online to receive a £15 discount. You'll also avoid the mile-long queues during Freshers' week! Click here for current prices.

First Group student passes
You'll find the pink and white buses of First Group in a number of university cities across the UK, including Manchester, Leeds and Bristol. See the full list below.
Students have a choice of purchasing bus passes annually, for a single term or monthly. Visit their student site for current prices.

Arriva Student Saver

You can opt for a full academic year or for just one term (15 weeks), and the cost depends on the area you want to travel. Student Saver passes can only be bought via their website.

Oyster cards (London)
For students studying or living in and around London, your best bet is to purchase an Oyster Card from Transport for London.
The pay-as-you-go card allows you to save money on travel across the bus networks as well as on the underground.
Check out our London student city guide for more information on getting the most out of the Capital!
Saving money on bus tickets
If you have a bus pass, you won't need to worry about these so much! However if you only use the bus every now and then – buying tickets on the bus – then there are a few tips to help save you money.
Free inner-city buses
An increasing number of cities, including Manchester and Leeds, now offer free metro buses. Their routes often pass through university campuses and other student hot-spots.
Find out if your city has a free bus service by checking the local transport website, and if so take full advantage of it!
Find out where the price zones are
You could save good money by simply walking to the next stop if it is in the next price zone. Check the bus operator's website for a network map and ticket prices.
Avoid peak times
If you can help it, try to travel when others don't as you may find tickets are cheaper off-peak. The most expensive time to travel though is usually after midnight, and this is where a bus pass can result in big savings!
Borrow your mates pass!
So long as they don't need it (perhaps they've gone home for the week), ask a friend if you can borrow their bus pass. Just beware that some operators have strict terms prohibiting this, but it's still a common money saving method used by many students.
Don't use the bus…
Buy a cheap second-hand bike (that's in good nick) and over the years you'll easily end up saving £100s and keep fit at the same time. Or if your university is only a brisk walk away then stick to using your pegs.
Use the cheapest bus company
In some cities the same bus route is traveled by a number of bus companies. Check out which ones may be cheaper for you.
Heading out-of-town
This guide is really about local bus travel, but if you're thinking about making a journey out of the uni bubble, start with Megabus for tickets from £1 or National Express who often have deals for students throughout the year. More advice on national coach travel here.

Some cities, I know Leeds and Bradford do, run a free city bus scheme and the stops include the local universities, so people may want to check these out.
