If you had to kill somone you loved in order to survive would you do it? what is the reason for your answer?
I would give up my life in a heart beat for the ones I love, if it ever came to that! The thought of self survival would never ever cross my mind even for a second (I can honestly say so)!
are you going to kill that guy in the ba<x>seball hat?...I'm shocked!
I would let myself be killed in order for someone else I loved to live. I have no clear cut reason for that belief, it's just how I feel. Thankfully it's never been put to the test, because I really don't want to die.
I'm someone who feels guilt very strongly, so if I killed someone I loved to save myself, I wouldn't really be preserving my life, since i'd go so crazy with guilt thinking about it.
Depends on the person.
Yeah, who the person was I would have to kill to live would be the deciding factor whether or not i died.
I always said I would die to protect the people I love, I won't go back on that.
Yes. My life>Everyone elses. Unless it's my son.

STILLWATER — In 2004, a 12-year-old Joseph Randle excitedly watched from the stands in Lawrence as his brother, John, took a handoff off the right side. John spun off, dodged and outran a slew tacklers for a 43-yard, highlight-worthy touchdown, as Kansas recorded its first victory over Kansas State in 12 years.
Oklahoma State football: Randle brothers mirror each other in many ways
"We literally couldn't hear each other," Joseph said of the moment he spent celebrating with his oldest brother, Larry. "We was having to scream into each other's ears. It was crazy."
Fast forward six years, and it was John watching little brother Joseph score Oklahoma State's first touchdown in that same stadium, as the Cowboys scored a blowout victory over the Jayhawks in 2010 to secure the program's 10th regular-season victory for the first time in its history.
Joseph and John mirror each other in a lot of ways. Same position. Same No. 1 on the jersey. Similar inflections when they speak. Even in photos, they have a strikingly similar build with the football in their hands.
But the brothers have had different journeys while in college.
Though John found plenty of success on the field, too many off-the-field issues eventually got him dismissed from KU. Today, Joseph has established himself as perhaps the Big 12's best running back, and currently ranks sixth in the nation in rushing (133.50 yards per game).
Through it all, Joseph and John have remained close. And John knows his experiences have shown Joseph how to act — and not to act — as a prominent football player at a Big 12 school.
"By the time he got to college, he already knew," John said. "I'm a living witness of things that he don't want to have to go through. And I'm a living witness of things he does want to go through on the field, the success that I had.
"He has an all-around example from me."
When John and Joseph were kids, they used to set up a football "field" in between two couches in the house. Because John was seven years older, he would play on his knees, while Joseph would play standing up.
"I'd run a bunch of touchdowns, and he'd just get so mad," John said with a laugh.
Joseph was the baby brother of the family. So he was a bit spoiled. And he was always confident, probably more so than his older brother, John admits.
Even though there was a large age gap between Larry (10 years), John (seven years) and Joseph, all three Randle boys wanted to follow in each other's footsteps.
That meant a lot of football.
Larry first played collegiately at Emporia State, a Division II school in Emporia, Kan. During that time, John became a standout running back and defensive back at Wichita Southeast High School and the No. 3-rated recruit in Kansas in the 2003 class.
When colleges started recruiting John, an elementary school-aged Joseph took it as a chance to also make an impression on those coaches.
During in-home visits, he'd entertain by popping in his Little League tapes, which showed him throwing touchdown passes as a quarterback and laying big hits as an outside linebacker. Then-KU coach Mark Mangino even followed the Randles to one of Joseph's basketball games.
"I told (Mangino) I was going to hit 13 points, and I had 13 points," Joseph said with a smile.
John eventually picked the Jayhawks and had an impact right away. He played both running back and cornerback as a freshman, tallying 503 rushing yards and 22 tackles and earning All-Big 12 honorable mention honors. He became the Jayhawks' leading rusher the next season, compiling 540 yards and scoring nine total touchdowns.

ABC just released the first official photos of the characters from "Frozen" making their "Once Upon a Time" debut -- and it's clear they did a GREAT job with both casting and wardrobe.
With her sparkly blue gown, sideswept braid and fair features, "Fringe" alum Georgina Haig is the spitting image of Elsa, while "Greek" star Scott Michael Foster looks like a clean-cut Kristoff. What's with that short hair?!
Both of their costumes look pretty spot-on though, as the two are seen sharing the screen in the gallery above.
But where's Anna?! While Elizabeth Lail's character is nowhere to be seen just yet, reindeer Sven made the cut ... though he doesn't look quite as vibrant as his animated alter-ego.
So far, no details on how the "Frozen" characters will interact with the residents of Storybrooke, but a Comic-Con preview for the show teased Anna and Kristoff's wedding.
We'll find out for sure when Season 4 of "Once Upon a Time" premieres on ABC on September 28.

Info required on Volume Pool
Hi All,
I've a query which I wanted to raise here because I am sure lot of talent will help me in solving this small query of mine.
How to move all tapes from Volume Pool to another Volume pool, via command line.
For eg. I've 20 Tapes in volume Pool named "Netbackup".
And with the help of command line I want to move all tapes which are under "Netbackup" volume pool to some manually created volume pool.
Actually intention here is to move all the tapes without defining the Media ID.
Thanks in advance.
If you need more info please let us know.

There is a technote to help you, that you can find here:
The just of it is:
1. Determine which volume pools are available by running the following command:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmpool -listall
2. To change the volume pool of the media, run the following command:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmchange -M <master server> -p <pool number> -m <media ID>
If you tell me the platform you are on, i might even be able to help you with a little shell script to speed things up.
1) you can not chage the Volume pool of the media with out defining the Media ID.
2) you can not chage the Volume pool of the media if it is already assined.
if the tapes are not assinged, and you want to chage all tapes volume pool at once
- you can use GUI
- you need to use Script, ( which would provide the Media ID to the Vmchage command behalf of you)
Do you have the Scratch Pool configured?
Could you let us know why you what to do this, so that we may try to provide the better solution for your query
Hi William,
Thanks for your reply.
I am aware of this command "vmchange -M <master server> -p <pool number> -m <media ID>".
But my requirement is something else. I want to move all tapes from Pool to Pool.
Let's say vmchange (move all tapes under VP1 to VP2) which are currently loaded in the tape library.
I need this for some special purpose. As I've created a small batch file to schedule the inventory in NBU via task scheduler, which is running fine. But I also want something which can move tapes from Netbackup pool to Scratch Pool. So that they can be used for backups without any manual intervention.
P.S: I am using windows Server 2008 R2.
Hemant Gambhir
Yes, I do have scratch pool configured.
By default whenevr the tapes are loaded in the tape library they are assiged to "Netbackup" Volume pool.
As I mentioned in my previous post, that I've created & scheduled a small batch file which will run inventory on tape library & updates volume configuration.
Only thing I need is the tapes which are detected should also move to scratch pool automatically. So that my backups should run without any manual intervention.
Hemant Gambhir
if this is only your requirement,
you can set-up your Invetory to move tapes to Scratch pool Direclty. so that you does not need to run any additional batch files..
hope this helps
In support of above excellent posts, let us recap:
The command in William's post is 100% correct and is the only way. '-m <media-id>' is a mandatory option.
As per Williams post, it can be scripted - use 'vmquery' to generate list of media-id's in specified pool, then use a 'for' loop to change pool for each media id.
Nagalla is right too - only unassigned tapes can be moved to another pool.
Barcode Rules will be easiest to automatically add new tapes to required pool.
To add all new tapes to Scratch pool by default, create the following Barcode Rule (choose correct Media type):
Barcode tag: <DEFAULT>
Media type: hcart
pool name: Scratch

The largest predatory marsupial at the time of European settlement and once existed on the mainland of Australia until as recent as 4500 years ago. Today the Thylacine is extinct but not in the minds of those who claim to have seen one in the remote bush of Tasmania. Each year there are a number of sightings that are regarded by Parks and Wildlife officers as being probable. It resembles a wolf with the stripes on the lower back giving it the name of tiger. The Tasmanian Tiger has wide and gaping jaws and the last known specimin died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936. A bounty on the Tiger from as early as 1830 led to its extinction due to being regarded as a threat to the sheep farming by the Van Diemen's Land Company.
Extinct Tasmanian tiger one step closer to cloning
Wednesday, May 29, 2002
By Michael Perry, Reuters
SYDNEY  Australian scientists announced on Tuesday a breakthrough in efforts to clone the extinct Tasmanian tiger, saying they had replicated some of the animal's genes using DNA extracted from preserved male and female pups.
The scientists from the Australian Museum in Sydney said they hoped to clone a Tasmanian tiger in 10 years if they were successful in constructing large quantities of all the genes of the Tasmanian tiger and sequencing sections of the genome to create a genetic library of Tasmanian tiger DNA.
"We are now further ahead than any other project that has attempted anything remotely similar using extinct DNA," Mike Archer, director of the Australian Museum, told a news conference. "What was once nothing more than an impossible dream has just taken another giant step closer to becoming a biological reality," he said, adding that the ultimate aim was to clone a viable reproducing population of Tasmanian tigers.
The Tasmanian tiger (thylacine) was a doglike carnivorous marsupial with stripes on its back that lived on the southern Australian island state of Tasmania. The creature originally roamed Australia and Papua New Guinea, but sometime between 2,000 and 200 years ago disappeared from the Australian mainland, only to be found in Tasmania.
It took humans only some 70 years to make the Tasmanian tiger extinct, as farmers in the 1800s began shooting, poisoning, gassing, and trapping the animal, blaming it for attacking sheep. The last known Tasmanian tiger died in 1936, and it was officially declared extinct in 1986.
The project to bring the Tasmanian tiger back from extinction began in 1999 when Australian Museum scientists extracted DNA from an ethanol-preserved female pup in its collection.
In 2001, further DNA was extracted from two other preserved pups; the tissue source for this DNA was bone, tooth, bone marrow, and dried muscle. Archer said the alcohol-preserved female pup's DNA had given scientists the Tasmanian tiger's X chromosome and the other samples the male Y chromosome.
In May 2002 the museum's scientists, using the extracted DNA, replicated some of the Tasmanian tiger's genes using a process called PCR (polymerase chain reaction).
"The supposedly dead DNA in fact reacts in the way live DNA does. Clearly the DNA we collected was not extinct; it works," Archer said. "It makes molecule cloning possible."
Archer said if the museum was successful it would seek to clone a viable population of Tasmanian tigers, using the Tasmanian devil, another carnivorous marsupial, as a host. "We want a viable population. We don't want a strange animal pacing back and forth in a laboratory. What we want to do is put that animal back in the wild and for that we need a viable, reproducing population," he said.
But Archer said the technology for the final stage of cloning, putting the Tasmanian tiger's genetic material into a Tasmanian devil host cell which has been stripped of the devil's genetic material was still to be developed. "We don't know the length of this journey. Its up to the speed with which technology keeps pace with the vision. But I am optimistic," he said.
"The Tasmanian tiger is an iconic Australian animal. Its woven in a complex web of guilt because Australians made it extinct. We need to lift this burden of guilt."

Note: 2013 model pictured
When I was making a list of eight alternate sports cars you could buy for the same $65,500 it'd cost to buy the perfect 2014 Corvette Stingray, I touched on competitors from Dodge, Porsche, even a Ferrari—but somehow, I missed out on this car. A fact that became brutally obvious the moment I pulled out the window sticker tucked into the glovebox of the 2014 Shelby GT500 and looked at the pricetag: $65,470.
And it set me to thinking: Honestly, if I had $65,500 to spend on a new car, today, which would I buy? The Corvette, or the Mustang?
On paper, the Corvette's the obvious choice. It's brand-new, the product of the latest and greatest engineering GM could pack in while holding to the car's price range. It stops, goes, and sticks as well or better than most sports cars costing twice the price. It has a brand-new interior that, unlike Corvettes of old, doesn't make your hate your life, and a targa top that, while a little white trash at first, is actually a pretty sweet compromise between coupe looks-slash-rigidity and convertible airflow. It'll do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and get 30-plus mpg on the highway. It is, quite possibly, the most impressive new car of 2013.
The Shelby, on the other hand, is old school and old news. The model it's based on dates back to 2005, and its overall look dates back to 1965. It has a solid rear axle. Like all Mustangs, it received refreshes in 2010 and 2013—and it's the later date that matters most to the GT500, because that's when Ford decided to quit screwing around and strapped a 5.8 liter supercharged V8 under the Shelby's hood.
A 354 cubic inch, TVS supercharged-equipped, 7,000 rpm-revving, eight-cylinder engine, making 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque.
For 2014, as far as I can tell, Ford made no changes to the Shelby GT500. They didn't need to. In fact, if the Mustang dropped the mic and left the stage after this year, never to return, with this as its high point, I'd be okay with that. Because while there may be Mustangs one day that are faster or more expensive than this one…there will never again be one with this much character. A 662 horsepower Ford with a solid rear axle? This thing is so ludicrous, it deserves to be an internet meme.
When you climb into the GT500 and start it up, you feel like your dick grew six inches. The exhaust note at idle doesn't rumble, it threatens: illkillaillkillyaillkilya. It only gets more intimidating from there. North of 3,000 rpm, the engine roar is, quite literally, terrifying—like a spited lion, or a Tyrannosaurus with blue balls. I found myself revving my displeasure at shitty drivers instead of honking the horn at them.
The 5.8 liter V8's good for more than just scaring wildlife, though. Be warned when you tap that keg for the first time, because this motor is under serious pressure, and it will bite you if you don't know what you're doing. The power is…obscene. On so many levels. The rear end broke loose at 60 mph in third gear…on a dry highway. It doesn't do burnouts, it commits acts of incendiary warfare.
The GT500 comes with launch control – accessed via a dedicated button – but that just seems so ordinary in this day and age. Better to downshift to 2nd at 40 mph, nail the gas, and then look down five or six seconds later to see the car passing 90 at redline. There is no comprehending the acceleration of the GT500 until you experience it. Ever see that clip from Mythbusters where they fire a rocket sled at a compact car? It's like that.
This is not one of those hippie-dippie new sports cars that lets you have your cake and eat it too when it comes to gas mileage. Sipping is for pussies, Russkies and Chevy drivers; this Ford chugs its high octane. Top gear turns 1600 rpm at 80; at that rate, the 7K red line could see this Mustang to 350 mph, if you could find a way to feed air to the engine without the rest of the car running into any atmosphere. Because that supercharged V8 is a deep breather. The Shelby doesn't even have a grille; it'd just block the wind it needs to inhale.
And the lack of grille gives the Shelby an even more menacing look. The current-gen Mustang is arguably the best looking 'Stang in history, and the Shelby GT500s are the most attractive of Mustangs, but the 2013/2014 GT500s are a breed apart. In spite of the badge, this car's no horse; it's pure predator. Like something out of James Cameron's imagination—a two-ton, quadrupedal hunter that sprints from naught to 60 in 3.5 and can reach 200 miles an hour if given enough room. Its body is muscle and sinew, wrought in metal. It's a work of art. Somebody needs to donate one of these to MoMA.
One ought to be donated to the Smithsonian, too, as an example of classic U.S. car making at its machismo peak. The clutch is heavy, the steering tight, the gearshift in need of a firm, decisive hand to guide it. Want an automatic? Fuck you. What kind of purdy-boy wants an automatic transmission? it asks in a thick drawl. Forget the obvious McQueen reference; the King of Cool could handle this car, but he's too smooth, too clean to drive this. This car needs John Wayne straight out of a John Ford movie, or Clint Eastwood at his steely-eyed, Man With No Name best. This car needs a strong man to tame it. It's the kind of car for the sort of man America doesn't seem to make anymore…which is appropriate, because it's the kind of car America doesn't really make anymore.
When the 2015 Ford Mustang arrives in the very near future, a new SVT-made version is inevitable. It too will likely wear the Shelby name, But from what I hear, it'll be more akin to the one-year-only Boss 302, or perhaps more accurately, the Camaro Z/28—a naturally-aspirated track terror, with less weight, better balance and handling, but a fair amount less power. No doubt, if those rumors are true, the 2015 Shelby Mustang will be an incredibly involving drive. Journalists will write things like 'I can't believe a Mustang could ever handle so well,' 'The Shelby Mustang has reached new heights of performance,' and 'Ford has built a pony car that finally doubles as a real sports car.' But that car will be so far removed from its cultural roots at that point, it's barely worth calling it a Mustang at all.
No doubt it'll wear fresh, futuristic styling, too. Perhaps J Mays and crew will turn out a Shelby Mustang of incredible beauty, one that makes men's jaws droop and their testicles sing the 1812 Overture whilst firing recklessly into their pants.
But nothing else will ever be this car.
When the dust settles, odds are good this car will go down in history as the most powerful production Mustang Ford ever built. A Ford with more power than three-quarters of Ferrari's production lineup. (Hank the Deuce would be proud.) A Mustang that could go where no 'Stang had gone before—straight to 200 mph. The once-rarefied air of supercars, crashed by a muscle–bound cowboy with a cobra tattoo and a mean look in its eye.
There may never be a car quite like this one again. So raise a glass to it, whisky for my men, premium unleaded for my horses. And should I somehow find a way to raise $65,000 or so in the next few months, you'll find me down at the neighborhood Ford dealership, placing an order for a Shelby GT500.
That was one of the most entertaining reads I've seen yet about this car. ;) Salute sir!
I could not agree more! The 2013 GT500 is truly one of a kind. It is arguably the last "MUSCLE CAR" that Ford will ever make. Hell, it is probably the last "MUSCLE CAR" that any company will make. With the new dawn of street performance coming, all cars will we geared toward increased gas millage and track-like cornering. Maybe I'm old school, but I only care about how fast I can go in a straight line. Lets be honest, most races in the streets are on highways where you challenge someone in a straight line. Rarely do you meet someone and they say, "let's go race at Laguna Seca". I understand that this new school performance is solely relative to body weight ratio, IRS, and advanced transmissions...but it's nice to see an old school concept of big/powerful engine, small car, and open road. This is what the 2013 GT500 embodies and I couldn't be happier with it. I'm sure the 2015 model will be awesome as well, but it will be more of a light weight track killer, cutting corners like a hot knife on butter. Or maybe I got it all wrong and it will be everything that the 2013 GT500 was and more. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

I have a 2013 Shelby GT500 and I Love it. I always wanted one the first time that I seen one back in 1968 when I was 18 now 60 it makes me feel like I am 18 again...
I ordered my 2013 Shelby GT500 in June of 2012 and picked it up in August of 2013. The dealer where I bought it, in Laramie, WY told me when I drove it off the lot be careful when you shift it as it's a beast. Well I made it to the freeway on ramp and deceided to see what it would do . When I shifted into 2nd the ass end broke loose , I let up on the gas straightened it out by the time I got on the freeway I looked down and saw that I was doing 110 MPH. It is one bad ass car.

Ouch! New York Rangers Rinkside Reporters Takes Puck To The Face, Yet Keeps Reporting [Video]
I'll be honest, after watching this video, I realized I'm a wuss in the reporting world. John Giannone on the other hand, is a man. Eleven years ago, I was working with a camera crew for Cox Communications and covering the New Orleans Hornets. It sounds more glamorous than it actually was. I was in college, and helped carry the wires behind the courtside camera. The cool part was being courtside for NBA games and getting paid for it. One night David Wesley, now TV color commentator for the Hornets, crashed into me after...

DEVIL HOLLOW. Devil Hollow rises five miles southeast of Elm Grove in eastern Caldwell County (at 29°53' N, 97°26' W) and runs southwest for three miles to its mouth on Sandy Fork, two miles northwest of Delhi (at 29°50' N, 97°26' W). It traverses flat to rolling prairie with local escarpments, surfaced by fine, sandy loams that support hardwood forests.

When I was a young man, I had a poor relationship with money. The "money blueprint" I had inherited from my parents didn't give me the skills I needed to build wealth. The only positive financial role-models in my life were Phillip Drummond and Ricky Stratton. It's not a good sign when a boy is taking money lessons from sitcoms.
And so I made mistakes. I accumulated credit card debt. I didn't save for retirement. I bought crap I did not need. I did not look to the future.
At twenty, it's hard to know what we will be at thirty. Or forty. Or fifty. We have plans, and we have dreams, but life takes us directions we cannot imagine. The Positivity Blog recently posted a commencement speech that Steve Jobs delivered at Stanford University in 2005. His remarks illustrate this principle in action: small, seemingly unimportant events mark the dots that connect the lines which represent our lives.
It's never too late to change direction, to start making smart choices. If you're 40 and don't have retirement savings, start as soon as possible. If you're 30 and staggering under the weight of credit card debt, cut up your cards and make a commitment to change direction. The wonder of the future is that it can be built upon the ashes of the past.
At 38, I can look at who I am and can connect the dots back through my life. Though I regret not saving for retirement, though I regret accumulating massive credit card debt, though I regret living a consumeristic lifestyle, I see now that these experiences made me the man I am today. Without them, I wouldn't be motivated to help others make smart money decisions. (And let's be clear: I am not advocating that others repeat the mistakes I have made.)
Draw upon your experience. If you've made some poor choices, don't let them get you down. Don't continue to repeat them. Use them to launch yourself toward a new way of life.

Korean-Style Short Ribs
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted and cooled completely
- 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot-pepper paste)
- 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
- 6 pounds beef short ribs or flanken
- 3 cups water
- 1 (2-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, smashed
- Special equipment: an electric coffee/spice grinder
- Accompaniment: kimchi
Grind sesame seeds to a coarse powder in grinder. Reserve 1/4 cup scallion greens, then whisk together remaining scallions, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, hot-pepper paste, sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons sesame-seed powder in a large bowl. Reserve remaining sesame-seed powder for serving. Add short ribs to soy sauce mixture, rubbing mixture into them. Transfer ribs to a large sealable plastic bag and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate, chilled, at least 8 hours.
Transfer ribs to a wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot and add water and ginger. Simmer, tightly covered, until ribs are very tender, about 3 hours.
Transfer ribs to a platter using tongs and keep warm, covered with foil. Skim fat from sauce and pour sauce through a sieve lined with a dampened paper towel into a bowl, then discard solids. Serve ribs with sauce in shallow bowls and sprinkle with reserved scallion greens and remaining sesame-seed powder.
Cooks' notes: Ribs can be marinated up to 1 day. Ribs can be braised 2 days ahead and cooled in sauce, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Remove fat from sauce, then reheat, covered, over moderate heat and proceed with recipe.

Residence HallsFredonia is a residential campus; only 15% of our students commute from home. Our 14 residence halls house approximately 2600 students in both corridor and suite style buildings. All freshmen and sophomores are required to live on campus with the option to move off campus after sophomore year. As a freshman you will likely live in a single gender residence hall with 24-hour intervisitation privileges; after your freshman year you may choose from the remaining co-ed residence halls. We encourage transfer students to live on campus as well to assist in more quickly feeling part of our amazing community. All rooms are set up as doubles. Each room is outfitted with two beds, dressers, chairs, desks, desk chairs, closets, and floor lamp, as well as cable TV/phone/internet ports as outlined below. The Residence Life Homepage is the source for your on-campus housing questions. Our Residence Hall Mini Tour will give you a good look at our on-campus living facilities.
Housing off-campusIf you are a transfer or non-traditional student seeking housing off campus, call the Student Association at (716) 673-3381 for information on area apartments and landlords.
Campus safetyFredonia is a very safe campus. An ACT student survey shows that our students rate personal security and safety on campus significantly higher than students on other college campuses. To ensure Fredonia remains a comfortable campus, we've taken the following measures:
Groups and activities on campus
There are many different groups and clubs on our campus, covering the spectrum from "high intellectual" to "high adrenaline" -- see our groups.
Computer & Network Access
Many students bring personal computers, wireless devices and gaming systems to Fredonia. On-campus students are connected to the Internet by our ResNet Office. This office offers a variety of computer related services only to students living in the residence halls. Each residence hall room has two high-speed Ethernet connections available.
SUNY Fredonia has a finite amount of bandwidth which is managed in a way that provides the highest possible quality of performance with an equitable balanced allocation to all network users. SUNY Fredonia places priority on inbound and outbound academic related Web (http) traffic and administrative network computing resources. Specific SUNY Fredonia bandwidth allocation and protocol classifications are confidential due to our information security policy.
Wireless access is available in all student living areas including individual student rooms and lobbies. Wireless access is available campus wide, including most academic buildings, cafeterias, Starbucks, and the Reed Library. There are also computer labs located in many academic buildings. Information regarding computer labs and other information technology services is available at the ITS Service Center.
With all the computer services available, you will not have a problem getting access to a computer and network resources on campus!
Dining options
You can choose from a number of meal plans. A wide variety of menu options are available--the food is quite good! Ethnic dishes, vegetarian (and its variations) menus, buffet, ala carte, coffee bars and home-made pastries are all here! Our meal plans and menus are comprehensive and flexible.
Health & wellnessMany students take advantage of our on-campus athletic facilities. Our Aerobics Center offers step classes, Tae Bo, etc. Each of our two fitness centers has free-weight, machine-based, and aerobic training equipment. You'll find sand volleyball courts, an ice rink, an indoor and outdoor track, basketball arena, baseball and softball diamonds, tennis courts, four indoor racquetball courts, two intramural gymnasiums, and a brand-new swimming and diving complex on campus. More athletics information is provided on our Activities page. Our Health Center is staffed by our college physician, nurse practitioner, lab technician, and several registered nurses. In the event of an emergency, Brooks Memorial Hospital is less than a 10 minute drive from campus.

The new Nissan X-Trail looks set to be introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show later this month, following a teaser shot released by Nissan.
We've previously heard rumours that the X-Trail would debut in Frankfurt and this production-ready-looking headlight teaser has all but confirmed it. It clearly borrows inspiration from the Hi-Cross concept that was seen at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, featuring the same LED light signature and a chromed 'U' in the centre of the grille holding the Nissan badge.
Nissan has previously told us that the X-Trail will use the same platform as the next-generation Qashqai. Shared with alliance partner Renault, it's called the Common Modular Family platform and it'll underpin 11 future Renaults including the Espace, the Scenic and Laguna.
The X-Trail is predicted to be a seven-seater, which will allow Nissan to discontinue the Qashqai+2 model and use the X-Trail as its replacement. Nissan will also be hoping to make it less rugged and with more of an on-road bias in an attempt to attract more sales.
Following its unveil in Frankfurt, expect the new X-Trail to go on sale early in 2014. Prices will kick off at around £27,000.
Hope it doesn't go the way of the Honda CR-V - from square-cut load-lugger to overstyled xover.
Hmm, "Nissan will also be hoping to make it less rugged and with more of an on-road bias". Are the current and previous versions off-road biased? Not to my knowledge.
I like the Nissan X-Trail 2014 Teaser and looking foward to seeing more in Auto Express
More boring junk from Sunderland, inspired by the creme-broulet snail-lickers from Paris....
£27k for a darn Nissan/Re-NOT? No thank you - you can pick up an X5 for that money.
You really do talk a lot of s**t dont you? The Nissan X Trail is built in Japan not Sunderland!....What an idiot LOL

As noted here recently ("Lame and Lamer: Media excuses for ignoring a surging Ron Paul"), Rep. Ron Paul has undeniably eclipsed many of the GOP presidential candidates formerly accorded "top tier" status by the major "lamestream" media, according to an August 24 Gallup Poll.
The new survey of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents shows Paul with 13 percent support, barely trailing former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (17 percent), with Texas Governor Rick Perry, who only recently announced his candidacy, strongly in first place, with 29 percent.
This puts Ron Paul three points ahead of Rep. Michele Bachmann (10 percent), who narrowly beat Paul (by less than 1 percent) in the Ames, Iowa Straw Poll on August 13. The other contestants, some of whom have been touted as "top tier" in the past, fade into the distance in the new Gallup Poll: Herman Cain, 4 percent; Newt Gingrich, 4 percent; Rick Santorum, 3 percent; Jon Huntsman, 1 percent; Tim Pawlenty, zero percent (he dropped out).

There are two teams. The teams are on a playing field of indeterminate measure. Suffice it to say that the teams are standing opposite each other, a relatively good run apart, between eleven and seventy-eight meters in most cases. Behind each team is a line. Behind that line is an unspecified area which functions as a base for that team. It is one of your more basic bases—a safe zone, as it were.
Now, one team, which we shall call Alpha for the sake of clarity, has previously met within their safe zone, and decided on a profession of some sort—trolley-car conductors, educators, streetwalkers, or something of like likeness. Alpha begins the game by marching forward, towards the opposition, several steps in unison, while chanting, "Here we come!" The other team, which I shall call Beta, responds by marching forward, presenting a common front, while declaiming, "Where from?" Whereupon Alpha takes a few more strides forward, still in unison, stating, with rather undue severity, "Philadelphia!" (Actually, they could lay claim to any town or area as place of origin. I have seen much latitude as well as longitude taken in this part of the game without any perceivably ill effect. Suffice it to say that "Walla Walla!" could be deemed equally appropriate.) Beta responds to Alpha's statement of origin by asking the eternal question: "What's your trade?" while taking several more steps forward.
By this time, as you can well imagine, both teams have drawn closer to each other. And now the Alpha team says a most unusual thing. Had I not seen this game in print as well as in play, I might have concluded as a naive observer that their statement had no purpose at all. However, after several years of rigorous observation and self-examination, I have been able to determine that the response, "Lemonade," is, in fact, total nonsense. Total nonsense, as I will say elsewhere, does have its function. And, insofar as the name of the game is in truth "Lemonade," the Lemonade Response is not completely out of context. Suffice it to say that the word "Lemonade" is used, invariably, whenever the game of Lemonade is played. At any rate, the utterance of this word is accompanied by similar strides forward.
And now Beta makes the final statement of the game. I have been always struck by the rather overt hostility seemingly embedded in this phrase. The game seems to be played in such good spirits, generally, that such a strong statement as the one I am about to reveal to you seems quite out of context. I would recommend, were anyone interested, an in-depth study of this phenomenon and related effect, to wit, "Show us some, if you're not afraid!" A bit on the threatening side, think you not? A bit of a taunt as it were. Now, we must leave the text of the game, as the actual textual portion of it has been exhausted, and attend to the physical manifestation: At this point in the game, Alpha and Beta are approximately one arm's length apart (the actual distance varying according to such random factors as arm size, finger-length, glovedness). Precisely at the moment at which this distance is reached—it being accomplished upon Beta's final foray, accompanied by that mystifyingly confrontational statement, "Show us some, if you're not afraid"—the Alpha team commences to pantomime the chosen profession—that being the one determined upon at the beginning of the game, as you doubtless recall. They pantomime individually, in small groups, or as a whole, simultaneously. As they are doing so, members of the Beta team call out the names of various professions which, according to their individual and collective judgment, would be pursued in the manner that is being pantomimed before them by Alpha. As soon as any member of the Beta team voices, correctly, the profession that has been agreed upon and is being performed by Alpha—that is to say, at the moment that any member of the Alpha team hears from any member of the Beta team, the correct profession—the Alpha team turns about and sprints with great alacrity toward their base line. As soon as they begin to run, the Beta team takes this as evidence that someone has guessed correctly, whereupon the Beta team commences hot pursuit, their objective being to tag, by causing touchage anywhere upon the person of a member of the opposite team, before said member, or any member of said member, has traversed the demarcation line of that team's safe zone. After issues are resolved, all those from the Alpha team who have acknowledged their condition of taggedhood join the Beta team, whereupon the Beta team convenes, in their own safe area, to select the next profession.
from The Well-Played Game
This game is also known as Pretty Girl Station. It's played as follows:
The game begins with a group of kids dividing themselves into teams. Each team makes a long line. The lines face each other-leaving a good distance between each other.
Each group huddles up-and decides on an occupation which they want to portray. A line is picked to go first before hand-then the line chosen marches towards the other while singing: Bum bum bum here we come all the way from Washington.
The marching singing line stops short just in front of the other line. The other line yells out a series of questions and the marching singing line answers:
Where're you from?
Pretty Girl Station
What your occupation?
Doing things.
Well get to work!
The marching singing group begins to act out their chosen occupation- sorta like the game of charades. The other line tries to figure out what they are doing by yelling out guesses. If the right guess is screamed out-the marching singing group takes off running with the guessing group giving chase. The marching singing group tries to make it back to their side of the field without being caught-if a person is caught-they must join the other group.
The game continues with each side taking turns acting out a chosen occupation.

In fact, neither is anyone else you've heard of… yet.
We're happy to invite you to Leadership Network's next online conference called "groundSWELL". The topic is the future of the Church and the speakers are all aged 13-19. That's right… every speaker is a teenager!
The future of the Church is alive and well inside every one of our churches… but what will it take to reach their generation?
We asked some of the sharpest teenage minds in the church TODAY about what the church will need to be like TOMORROW.
You'll hear from LAUREN. Lauren is a very articulate young woman, zealous for God and the lost. At 17 years old she's a leader among her peers and a real leader and voice for the future in her church.
NICK officially joined his church staff when he was just 16 and is currently training for full-time ministry. He's passionate about studying all-things church, and will no doubt be an unstoppable force in the next generation of the church.
And you'll meet JACOB. Jacob is a tremendous leader and speaker. As a teenager he led his church in Chicago to start a movement to help eradicate world hunger and reach out to those who need the Gospel of Jesus.
These are just three of the more than two dozen young leaders we'll introduce.
We asked these young leaders, "What does the Church need to change to reach your generation?" Their answers make up our entire three-hour online conference.
The conference is scheduled for Thursday, March 1. It is free and online… all you need is your computer and a good internet connection. But you must pre-register to attend.
I hope you'll join us as we take a look at the future of the church through the eyes of those who will be leading it. You may not have heard of the speakers yet, but they are our future leaders. And we can learn from them today.
Take one minute right now to register for this free event above.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - The St. Louis Public Schools superintendent is apologizing for sending more than 3,600 letters to parents listing incorrect school assignments for their children.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that city schools Superintendent Kelvin Adams says families should soon receive updated information with the correct details on fall assignments. The school district made a similar mistake several years ago.
The superintendent adds that students who are behind in reading won't learn whether they'll advance to the next grade until they arrive at school. A 2013 state audit criticized the district for promoting thousands of children to the next grade despite poor reading skills.
Classes begin on Aug. 11, with a back-to-school fair scheduled for Saturday morning.

I also follow my A1C for signs of advancing Type 2 Diabetes.
Both of these are good indicators, for me, that my immune system is working overtime and there's something going on, somewhere, that likely shouldn't be and my body is waging war. Doctors don't always discuss negative test results with their patients due to time constraints or too much information detracting from more critical issues, at hand. Also, it's not so much a single measure that's of concern rather the relative change from one test to the next. For example, weight or body temperature. You may be overweight but if you are not gaining, that's a good thing. Lower body temperature is an indication of slower metabolism, ie. hypothyroidism, but if it's not getting lower, why go there and worry the patient unnecessarily.
Three tests for inflammation are ESR, WBC Counts and C-Reactive Protein. Inflammation is the forerunner of disease, especially cancer. If the numbers are advancing from each subsequent blood test than, hell yes, it's time to sit up and take immediate action. But, if they're declining in severity, pat yourself on the back and keep up the good work.
It's important that everyone learn ways to be their own doctor. These tests are good indicators that your lifestyle is balanced or something's not right and it's time to make changes in diet, exercise, rest, stress or all of the, above.View Thread
Doctors hate patients that come to them, dump their load onto them, then, say "Can you fix this?" On the other hand, Doctors love patients who are proactive and take steps, in advance, to help themselves...things like eating a proper (ex. DASH) diet, daily exercise, cutting out all alcohol, cigarettes and nonprescribed medications. There can be many things that can cause pelvic pain and blood in urine so, please, don't conclude the worst. Take it step by step. You're in control. You're the doctor, now, while you wait. What action do you prescribe? Good luck.View Thread

Abstract and Keywords
This article provides insights on emerging discipline of origins of life studies. It answers various questions such as the logics behind scientific concepts and the scope and limit of biological science. It is now generally accepted that life existed around 3.5 billion years ago on earth. If life began elsewhere, then the time window for life's origin might be wide open. Narrowing the gap puts the idea that there is room for God to explain the gaps in nature left by scientific uncertainty. Some fundamental heuristic principles are discussed based on continuity, microreversibility, actualism. The origin of life appeared to be a problem, when it was realized how complex the interrelations between DNA as the carrier of genetic information and protein were. Origins of life researchers use biological, chemical, and physical laboratories to challenge how life might have emerged in the harsh conditions of early Earth.

The surname O'Neill is an Anglicization of the original Gaelic Ua Néill, composed of the elements ua, meaning "grandson" or "descendant," and of the Gaelic name Niall. The meaning of the Niall is disputed, but has been suggested as "cloud", "passionate" or "champion". The progenitor of the family is said to be Niall Noigiallach of the Nine Hostages, which legend claims was the High King of Ireland in the fifth century. However, it was the grandsons of Niall Glúndub, himself a descendant of Niall Noigiallach that lived in the tenth century, that would have been the first to use the surname.
It is due to the Anglicization of the original Gaelic that the several spelling variations have emerged, during the transcribing of the name into English. Irish and Scottish variants also exist and include MacNeal, MacNiel and MacNeill, which arose when the ua element in the name was replaced with mac, meaning "son of." Ó has replaced Ua since the end of a standard Gaelic and its gradual evolution into Scottish, Manx and Irish. O'Neill is also occasionally found used as a given name.
The red hand is explained by several slightly differing legends, but which tend to have a common theme that begins with a promise of land to the first man that is able to sail or swim across the sea and touch the shores of Ireland. Many contenders arrive, including a man named O'Neill, who begins to fall behind the other. Using his cunning, O'Neill cuts off his left hand and throws it onto the beach before the other challengers are able to reach shore, thus technically becoming the first of them to touch land and wins all of Ireland as his prize. However, the legends seem to originate in the seventeenth century, several many centuries after the red hand was already borne by the O'Neill families.

- How to Read a Study Record
The aim of our study was to evaluate the value of two different altered fractionation schedules – hyperfractionation and accelerated fractionation with concomitant boost – in comparison with conventional fractionation in primary definitive radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx, oropharynx or hypopharynx. The study began and was conducted while the only teletherapy unit in our department was the cobalt-60 machine. During that period we were expecting the installation of new sophisticated equipment. We assumed that the results of this study would be also able to show whether or not it would be rational to use the altered fractionation regimens on the new machines.
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Defined Population
Time Perspective: Longitudinal
|Official Title:
|Hyperfractionation and Accelerated Fractionation in Comparison With Conventional Fractionation in Definitive Radiotherapy of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Larynx, Oropharynx and Hypopharynx
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|March 1999
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|June 2005
Eligible patients admitted from March 1999 to December 2000 were treated with conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. These patients represented the retrospective part of the study. Patients admitted between January 2001 and June 2004 were included in the prospective part of the study. Following the confirmation of their eligibility, altered fractionation schedule assignment was made after stratifying by site of origin (larynx vs oropharynx vs hypopharynx), Karnofsky performance score (60%-70% vs 80%-100%), and stage of disease (I and II vs III and IV). Patients were randomized to receive radiotherapy delivered using either hyperfractionation or accelerated fractionation with concomitant boost as a late accelerating component. Exceptions occurred when patients either refused treatment with two daily fractions or were not offered twice-a-day irradiation because of lack of machine time.
Radiotherapy Scheduling and Technique The conventionally fractionated radiotherapy schedule was 66-70 Gy in 6½ -7 weeks (one fraction of 2 Gy per day, 5 fractions per week), whereas the hyperfractionation treatment schedule was 74.4-79.2 Gy in 6.2-7 weeks (two fractions of 1.2 Gy per day, 10 fractions per week with interfraction interval of at least 6 hours; Figure 1). The treatment schedule in accelerated fractionation using concomitant boost consisted of daily fraction of 1.8 Gy, 5 days a week, up to 32.4 Gy including all sites of disease and electively irradiated areas of the neck, followed by two daily fractions for the last 11-12 days. The first daily fraction encompassed all sites of the disease and electively irradiated neck nodes using a dose of 1.8 Gy, and the second daily fraction was the concomitant boost delivered through reduced fields to encompass the gross disease only, using a fraction of 1.5 Gy up to total doses of 68.7-72 Gy in 6 weeks (Figure 1). The interval between the two daily fractions was at least 6 hours.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 75 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:The inclusion criteria were age 18-75 years, Karnofsky performance score equal or more then 60%, and all stages of disease except stage IVC (TNM classification according to International Union Against Cancer and American Joint Committee of Cancer (UICC and AJCC) from 1997). -
Exclusion Criteria:Patients with previous or concurrent malignancy other then basal cell carcinoma were excluded.

Has 'Saturday Night Live' Found a New Barack Obama in Comedian Jay Pharoah?
According to blogger Sean McCarthy of "The Comics' Comic," comedian Jay Pharoah "is just about a done deal" to join the cast of the 36th season of 'SNL' later this month. Taran Killam, Paul Brittain and Vanessa Bayer are all rumored to be joining the cast as well. The most interesting part of this news is that Pharoah will bring a host of characters and impressions to the show, including a new and fresh take on President Barack Obama,
McCarthy doesn't have a solid confirmation that 'SNL' will impeach Fred Armisen from the Obama role and replace him with Pharoah, but noted that it's the most likely scenario. TV Squad has found a video of Pharoah's Obama impersonation, posted after the jump.
Armisen's aim for accuracy over comedy with his impersonation hasn't been met with the same level of praise as Dana Carvey's George Bush or Phil Hartman's and Darrell Hammond's Bill Clinton. This isn't the first time the rumor mill has churned out speculation that the show is shopping for another actor to replace our commander-in-chief. In fact, the show reportedly held auditions with comics such as 'Daily Show' correspondent Wyatt Cenac and 'Community' actor Donald Glover after Obama's election in 2008.
Still, Armisen's impersonation of the President hasn't been as bad as others have proclaimed it to be. From his slow-paced tone to his hand gestures and mannerisms, it's fairly accurate -- just lacking in comedy. It doesn't have the thing that makes all 'SNL' presidential impressions special, that one thing that sets the standard all aspiring comedians and annoying office cutups should measure their impressions against. There needs to be an exaggerated mannerism or signature phrase that sets it apartment, the "not-gonna-da" for George Bush or the "strategery" for George W. Bush.
Pharoah's take has a chance of finding that same stride. His YouTube page features a showcase of impressions from Ray Charles and Owen Wilson to Stewie Griffin and (of course) President Obama. What his impression lacks in voice quality and similarity makes up for it with exaggeration and depth. He speaks as though every syllable is the most important syllable in the English language, followed by very strong gesturing that exudes an extreme amount of confidence and bravado. Pharoah's Obama impression starts at the 6:14 mark in the video.

Eating a handful of nuts a day may be all it takes to help ward off serious disease and prolong a healthy life, says a major new study. In the largest study to date to look at whether eating nuts can help you live longer, researchers who followed 76,464 women and 42,498 men for 30 years found that people who ate nuts every day were 20 percent less likely to die from heart disease, cancer or any other cause, compared …
Does following a vegetarian diet really help you live longer? Or, as the comedians might say, does it just feel longer? Seriously, a large, new study found that avoiding beef, pork and chicken may give you a slight edge: vegetarians had 12 percent fewer deaths overall than nonvegetarians, and 19 percent fewer deaths from heart disease, during a nearly six-year period. Adding fish and seafood to a vegetarian diet helped even more. Those who were pesco-vegetarians had 19 percent fewer …
Here's some sweet news to add to your morning coffee: Regular coffee drinkers are likely to live longer, says the largest study ever done on the subject. Even better, it doesn't matter whether you drink regular or decaf. To examine the relationship between coffee and health, researchers with the National Institutes of Health looked at the coffee drinking habits of more than 400,000 AARP members ages 50 to 71 between 1995 and 1996, then followed them until 2008.

I just installed Xubuntu as my primary and only OS. In my opinion, its not only Xubuntu, but all Ubuntu family. You see, before I installed Xubuntu, I had Ubuntu as Live CD to try it... it end up with the same problem.
Problem is that after compiling firmware for Wusb600n v2, installing it and making system recognize it, rebooting... trying to connect network... few minutes: My monitor show something like this...
What could cause such behavior? I just tried to connect to wi-fi network! Maybe this is because of my drivers. You see, there are no drivers! Just this one for Wusb600n v2 and native Linux drivers or whatever.
If so, I see two options:
- Get files for correct drivers from another computer and then... install them on my computer.
- Somehow turn off all fancy (if default desktop calls as fancy) effects and then... try again.
What do you suggest? I'm not so good at Linux... so I'm just guessing. Thanks in advice!

Instant Power® Heavy Duty Drain Opener
10 times stronger than common drain openers
Our Heavy Duty Drain Opener is the economical treatment for bathroom and kitchen drain clogs.
This is a strong non-acid formulation, 10 times stronger than common drain openers.
We recommend that Heavy Duty Drain Opener be allowed to stay in the drain overnight.
The longer it remains in the drain the more drain clogging matter it will dissolve.
What is it used for?
Used to dissolve hair and grease clogs from any drain
What is it not used for?
Do not use in the garbage disposal. The product may damage non-stainless steel garbage disposals.
Do not use in toilets. If it overflows it may cause safety issues.
Is the product safe for septic systems? If used as directed it is safe for use with septic systems.
For the first application use 2-4 cups, if this does not clear the clog use more product.
Wear safety goggles to protect from possible eruption of Lye. Remove standing water. Pour drain opener slowly, directly into drain. Repeat if necessary.
Slowly pour 2 cups directly into drain. Wait at least 1 hour before flushing with hot water. Overnight is best. Instant Power will continue to dissolve hair deposits as long as it is in the drain. If the clog is further down the drain pipe, more Instant Power will be needed to reach the clog.
Always keep bottle on stable, flat surface and hold by handle. Do not squeeze sides. Doing so may cause eruption of liquid. Remove cap by pressing down and unscrewing. Use a sharp instrument to completely remove silver heat seal by gently cutting out from the inside of neck. Always replace cap after use. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, refer to first aid instructions.
I have never done this before but your heavy duty drain opener worked so well that i wanted to thank you. Your product advertised that it would work no matter what and it did. My bathroom sink was so clogged it would barely drain anymore , it now works better than new thanks so much i will be using your company's products from now on.
-From Joshua C.
This is a thank you for such a great product. I had a fully clogged drain and tried many things to fix it. Drano, plunger, hot water, drain auger, acid, etc. And nothing worked. I purchased your heavy duty drain cleaner and after two applications and letting it sit for about an hour, the drain was clear.
Thanks for such a great product and saving me hundreds on a plumber coming. Will definitely recommend this to all I know.
-From M. Bass
I just wanted to let you know that I am really happy with your product. We have lived in this house for 18yrs and have always had a problem with the way the tub drained in the bathroom. We have tried all sorts of products and we have snaked the drain we changed the pipes in the drain and the slope and on and on.
We used your heavy duty drain cleaner and let it sit for one hour, nothing, the water just sat there. I left it figuring we would have to take the pipes apart again, a few hours later I went into the bathroom and noticed the tub was empty and dry, so I ran water and it went down the drain, I left it run for several minutes and it never once pooled in the tub. The best part about your product is that it is not a one time product, there is enough of the product for four uses. Thank you so much for having such a great product that really works.
-Margaret R. from Neosho, MO
Just thought I would comment that I am 100% satisfied with your product (heavy duty drain opener) and want to thank you for saving me the cost of having a plumber clear a stubborn clog from the washing machine drain. It only took one application.
-Donald E.
Hi, I just wanted to thank you for a great product! I had a clog way down in the basement from my kitchen sink. I tried a heavy snake but it only seemed to pack the clog tighter. I thought I'd have to dis-assemble the pipes to get at it, then I seen your product (heavy duty drain opener) at Wal-Mart. I figured for only about 4 bucks I might as well give it a try.
I put about half a bottle in and let it sit for about 24 hours. After 24 hours I filled the sink with hot water….still clogged I thought…then "whoosh" the water drained like crazy!! I couldn't believe it, a product that actually works! Saved me a ton of trouble and mess, glad I found your great product. Thanks again : )
-R.S. Buchholz from Wilton, WI
I have had problems with slow draining sinks as has everyone. Repeated use of various drain cleaners which at best are NO Good. After a couple of bottles it mightl eventuallly drain. However, I found your product at Wal Mart." Instant heavy duty drain opener". Came home and used one application and to my amazement the drain opened and flowed freely. Beautiful!!!!!
Three thumbs up for your product. have made a believer/customer out of me.
-Ray M. from Texas
I just wanted to let you know, this stuff really works. I was very skeptical, as other products did not. So, when I saw your 100% guaranty, I bought it, tried and it worked just as said. Thank you so very much!
-Bonnie B. from Orange Park, FL
I have a shower that without fail stopped draining around once a month, I tried snakes, water hose with a power tip to try and blast it open, NOPE. The first time I used the heavy duty drain opener I poured about 1/2 of the bottle (instructions say 1/4 will work, no it says guaranteed to work! I believe it !!!) I left it in all night & in the morning turned on the hot water & to my lo & behold it drained instantly.
This is a excellent product !!!
-Rusell P. from Pasadena, TX
I saw the guarantee ticket on your product & have tried Draino repeatedly with no results. I figured what the heck. I can try. I pretty much assumed I would be requesting a refund.
I am sure you get a lot of complaints (well, hopefully not too many!) and probably few compliments. I thought I'd take a moment to send an email saying your product worked! I had purchased my house several years ago & the previous owners had 2 teenage girls. The shower in the 3rd bathroom was also slow. I tried a plunger. I tried taking the drain apart. I tried Draino (and other various products). Nothing really helped. It would drain, just slow. I don't like showering in a puddle.
Your product (I did let it set overnight as suggested) cleaned it out. In fact, I think I wasted an awful lot of water just waiting for it to back up again! Hah.
Thank you for a good product. It was worth the money.
-Mary F. from Idaho
What an AWESOME product. I can't tell you how many years I have been using Liquid Plumber and all their fancy 2 part cleaners and it was a waste of money. So I tried Heavy Duty. At first I thought, this is just like water. It will not work on my tub drain which was REALLY clogged – I was in ankle deep water for weeks. Anyway, 2 cups of Heavy Duty, waited overnight and the clog was GONE! I am so happy w/ Heavy Duty, I will never buy anything else!!! Thank you soo much – Sincerely
-Denise W. from Las Vegas, NV
"I just had to let you know how OMG impressed I am with your product!! I purchased the Instant Power Heavy Duty Drain Opener and it was amazing.
I rented a new office and it was a dentist office many many years ago and it had a little sink the just would NOT clear. We tried everything, Draino with the metal slivers, drain sticks etc….. I poured your product in and in an hour it was already better!!!!!! By the next morning it was completely cleared!!!
Thank you for putting the little red tag on the bottle that said 100% Guaranteed because that is why I bought the product and why I am writing!!!
I can't thank you enough for such a REAL product!!!!
-Misty V.
"I had a clogged sink in my bathroom. I had some liquid plumr gel I tried and it did not work. I went to the store to purchase some more and I saw your product. In a last ditch effort to avoid going under my house and taking apart the pipes I figured I would give it a try. The guarantee on the bottle helped sway my decision.
I poured about 1/3 of the bottle in the sink and waited about an hour. I went back and poured about 2 more cups in the drain, it was still going down slow then suddenly the drain went clear. I am very pleased with this and will use it from now on. I don't like being the person that only contacts people when something doesn't go right so Thank you for the help."
-Mike S.
"I hadn't realized my drain was slowing. The other night I made a roast in the crock pot and covered it in a can of mushrooms. When we ate it, I forgot about the mushrooms that were in the sauce and dumped them in the sink. They were small, so they went right down. They clogged the sink. I went to Wal-Mart and bought a thin plastic tool to dig out and shove down clogs. I dug out some hair (hair? In a kitchen sink?) but rather than clearing the clog I made it impenetrable. "
"So today I went back to Wal-Mart and bought your yellow bottle of Heavy Duty drain cleaner. I bought it because it had a money back if it doesn't work offer on it. I figured no company could afford to make such an offer unless their product really did work. A friend was with me and tried to argue that Liquid Plumber was available, why would I want anything else? I did, I wanted the one that guaranteed their product would work."
I poured a quarter of the bottle into the drain and waited about four hours. Then I poured some water in and it immediately backed up. I was so sad. I didn't want to start the new year with dirty dishes on the counter and a clogged sink. Then, as I was turning to walk away, I heard a "Whoosh!" and the whole clog, or what was left of it, washed away."
"Now that's drama! And it was the best sound I've heard all week. Thanks very much for a product I can count on, and for showing me how good it was by offering to stand behind it. If you hadn't, I likely would not have chosen it."
-Kim W.
"I just wanted to take the time to tell you that your product, Heavy Duty Drain Opener, is fantastic. It fixed a clog on a lateral line, and did it fast. It is nice to use a product that actually does what it says."
-Ray B.
"I just wanted to drop you guys a line and thank you for your product, after a Monday yesterday and the water on the floor in the wash room I was not looking forward to having to snake a drain or something. I stopped at the store and purchased the Heavy Duty Drain Opener. After 1 hour the drain was flowing perfect. Thank you again. "
-Danny S.

The process college football teams use to recruit high school players is sometimes controversial but usually very simple. Coaches scout players, then, if they like what they see, offer them positions on the college's team. Players can then choose to accept or decline that offer.
But the path to big-time college football was much different and much more complex for Kevin Bush, who plays defensive end for Indiana University. Before arriving at IU, Bush attended two different smaller colleges, worked at a factory and served as an Army infantryman in Korea and Iraq.
That journey ended in Memorial Stadium on Sept. 2, when Bush, at the age of 25, lined up alongside his Indiana teammates, ready to sprint down the field into kickoff coverage. It was a stark contrast to where he was two years before: dodging IEDs in an armored vehicle in Iraq.
"I went and did it," Bush says of his service. "Thousands of people do it every day. I don't really feel that special or that I deserve any special treatment."
Bush might not be special, but he is in a rare class as a collegiate athlete with a service background. What's relatively normal is the story of how he joined the military. He suffered some academic struggles in college, floated between schools and eventually came to a crossroads in life where he "impulsively" decided to enlist.
Coming out of Homestead High School in Fort Wayne, Ind., Bush was a renowned football talent. He was a three-year letter winner and made the all-state team as a senior. He rarely left the field, playing quarterback, wide receiver, punt returner and even a few defensive positions. But it wasn't enough to get him noticed by college recruiters.
He walked onto the University of Toledo's football team without a scholarship but left after his first semester, returning home to Fort Wayne to work in a factory. His plan was to enroll at a local college in the summer, take a full slate of classes and raise his GPA to where he could gain admittance to the school he always wanted to attend: Indiana University. But things didn't work out as he'd hoped.
"At that time, I was trying to make moves to get down to IU," he says. "I was working at a factory. I tried to take summer classes. The transfer didn't work out. It was just kind of a crossroads as far as where my life was going. I didn't really know what I was going to do."
The solution, as it is for many his age and in his position, turned out to be the military. In July 2005, he found himself in an Army recruiter's office, ready to sign a three-year contract.
"I had a buddy who joined probably about year prior," Bush says. "I talked to him about things and really just kind of acted impulsively and signed up. That was that."
He quickly shipped off to Fort Benning for basic training, then to South Korea for a year. He briefly returned stateside to Fort Campbell and deployed to Iraq in September of 2007 - exactly two years before his first game as an Indiana Hoosier.
Until November of the next year, Bush and his unit performed security jobs and patrolled central and northern parts of Iraq. His brush with danger came from something common to warfare in the Middle East: an IED. Luckily, he was driving a heavily armored vehicle that was able to withstand the blast.
"We were out on patrol like any other day, and we just happened to roll over an IED and got popped," he says. "It happened to us probably eight or 10 times. It's one of those things that, when you're infantry over there, you just kind of expect to happen. The way things are, it's not really a firefight over there. It's really just about avoiding those types of things. I was driving and ran over it. It was like any other day."
After a 14-month tour, he returned home and enrolled at IU with the GI Bill, eyeing a potential football career. He was certainly looking the part, weighing around 240 pounds - about 30 more than his weight as a high school senior. Through his high school coach and an old teammate, Bush was able to arrange a walk-on tryout with the Indiana coaches. He easily made the team and became a backup defensive end. He says he owes a debt of gratitude to the service.
"I learned to be more mentally tough," says Bush, who blocked a punt in his first game. "I think that starts in basic training. You learn to deal with the hard things and move on. That's how it is. If you're not feeling like you want to go into work the next day, you don't really have an option. You've got to go."
At first, Bush stood out among his teammates - most of whom were almost half a decade younger than him. But he says he quickly learned how to relate to them and provide a unique perspective as an older person who has served his country.
"When people ask questions about the Army, I never shy away. There were a lot of questions when I first got here," Bush says. "Really, it's just like having a bunch of different little brothers. That's how I treat it. I am as close with these guys as guys in the Army. In the Army, you bond with guys real fast. It's kind of the same thing here."
With four wins and a near-upset against nationally ranked Iowa, Indiana is currently fighting to reach college football's postseason. Bush has done his part, filling in at defensive end and recording 11 tackles this year.
On Veterans Day, he'll be honored in programming on ESPN and The Big Ten Network. He admitted that portions of the interview segments were, at times, tough to get through. But he was glad to help bring recognition to the holiday.
"Everyone always tells me that people want to hear the story, and I am always willing to tell it," Bush says. "It's been interesting, and it's been an experience."
