Poultry producers say Russia's decision to ban imported U.S. meat won't lead to a glut of the product because other countries are clamoring for inexpensive meat.

 Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that his country would restrict imports of certain commodities in retaliation for the U.S. and other countries imposing sanctions because of the situation in Ukraine.

 Poultry companies should hardly worry about the birds flooding the market and suppressing prices. U.S. poultry production is expected to be around 17.26 metric tons this year and exports are expected to account for nearly 20 percent of production, said Brett Stuart, co-founder of the Denver-based market analytical firm Global AgriTrends. Exports of American poultry to Russia account for a relatively small amount.

 "I'm not seeing a glut," Stuart said.

 The nation's poultry producers said they're confident the losses to the import ban would be absorbed by other nations.

 "We're disappointed about the loss of the Russian market, but don't expect the impact to be significant since the volume we ship there can be absorbed by other global markets," said Worth Sparkman, a spokesman for Springdale, Arkansas-based Tyson Foods, one of the world's largest meat processors.

 Mike Cockrell, the treasurer and chief financial officer for Sanderson Farms, said other markets have emerged to handle any losses - including the countries of Angola, Mexico, the Philippines and South Korea, among others.

 "The truth is, we sell chicken to hungry consumers in Russia; we don't sell to Putin," Cockrell said of the Laurel, Mississippi-based company, which is the third-largest poultry producer in the U.S. "Russia has used poultry as a political tool before, but fortunately, Russia is not significantly as big a market as they once were."

 Last year, Cockrell said Sanderson Farms shipped about 87.5 million pounds of chicken to Russia - about $40 million worth - but that was just 1.5 percent of its total sales in 2013.

 Still, "an 87.5 million-pound customer is a good customer, and we'll have to replace that," he said. "Chicken is still in hot demand internationally. We'll find a home for this chicken; it will just take us a little bit of time."

The problem for the Red Sox is that John Lackey has not been alone.
Yes, the big right-hander is having a year that is on the short list of the worst in franchise history. He was battered and bruised (quite literally) by the Rays for five runs in three innings, leaving the game after getting smoked in the shin by a line drive by John Jaso.
With the outing, Lackey has a 6.30 ERA that would rank as the worst ever by a Sox pitcher with at least 25 starts in a single season. Lackey's ERA suggests that he has been the worst starter in the majors, despite his 12-12 record. He has more games in which he's allowed five or more runs (10) than quality starts (8).
After suffering the defeat in Boston's 7-2 loss to the Rays – a loss that allowed the Rays to inch within 5½ games in the wild card race – Lackey acknowledged that the year-long struggles weigh on him.
"It's not fun. There's definitely some frustration, banging your head against the wall," Lackey told reporters. "I've done everything I can; it's just not working out."
Yet Lackey is merely the poster child for a group of pitchers throughout the organization with ERAs that suggest a string of disastrous results. And that, in turn, suggests that the issues the Sox face could reach far beyond the issue of the rest of the regular season and the composition of the postseason rotation (assuming that the Sox manage to avoid a historic collapse and reach October; despite their horrible 2-7 start to the month, the team is still described by coolstandings.org as having a 96.2 percent likelihood of reaching the playoffs).
Not only has Lackey struggled, but the depth of the rotation for this year and perhaps next has been crushed by injuries and poor performances. As an organization, the Sox appear increasingly to be a team with rotation flaws for 2012 (and possibly beyond), something that raises the possibility that the Sox will have to throw good money after bad this coming offseason.
Clearly, there are tremendous building blocks upon which the Sox can build their rotation going forward. Over a four-year span, Jon Lester has emerged as a legitimate ace, one of the most consistently reliable pitchers in the majors.
Josh Beckett – whose spectacular 2.49 ERA at least in part on an unsustainable .242 batting average on balls in play – is unlikely to repeat his career-best 2011 season, but he's a rotation pillar. While Clay Buchholz has now missed almost three months, his back issue should not prevent him from being a rotation building block in 2012, either.
The problems set in after that.
Lackey is now 57 starts into his Red Sox career. He has a 5.26 ERA (more precisely, a 5.257 ERA). That mark over the past two years is neck and neck with the pitcher whose free agent contract with the Yankees served as the model for Lackey's deal with the Sox, A.J. Burnett (5.264 since the start of 2010).
For the Red Sox, the worst part of Lackey's performance is that he should have been at his best over these two seasons. But he is nearing the end of his age 32 season, and the prospective view of his age 33-35 years isn't terribly promising.
While Lackey had shown some promise during a solid mid-year stretch in July and early August, the improvements in the right-hander's stuff during that period now appear to be fading. In his last four starts, Lackey is 1-3 with a 7.06 ERA, 13 walks and 11 strikeouts.
There hasn't been much of a silver lining. The Sox will likely remain committed to him in 2012, just as they remained committed to Daisuke Matsuzaka through multiple years of disappointment until he blew out this year, because they have little choice.
But if Lackey were a pitcher without a pedigree (or, for that matter, a five-year, $82.5 million contract), it is hard to imagine that he would be given the opportunity to continue struggling in the Sox rotation. Put another way: If he were a free agent this offseason, the Sox would be unlikely to treat him as anything more than a buy-low candidate along the lines of the flyer they took in signing Brad Penny to a one-year deal for the 2009 season.
Lackey is anything but a sure thing at this point. That means that, while he will likely remain a member of the rotation to start 2012, it will be even more incumbent on the Sox to have alternatives available if he cannot become at least a solid, reliable back-of-the-rotation option.
Meanwhile, Matsuzaka will not be a part of the plans for the rotation in 2012 after undergoing Tommy John surgery earlier this year. With most of his next next season slated to be dedicated to the rehab process, there will be at least one vacancy in the Sox' rotation next year.
Tim Wakefield's interminable quest for his 200th career victory notwithstanding, he's been a solid but unspectacular depth option. He has a 6-6 record and 5.03 ERA, following a 2010 campaign in which he was 4-10 with a 5.34 ERA. Those numbers suggest a pitcher who is suited to be a solid insurance option for the rotation, but not one who should be slotted into a blueprint for a rotation.
Entering this season, the 45-year-old suggested that the 2011 season would likely be his last. Even if it is not, it is difficult to envision the Sox offering the free-agent-to-be any sort of role beyond the one in which he started this season.
The Sox appear to have no more answers about Andrew Miller's future than they did when he was first called up in June. He is 6-3, but with a 5.48 ERA, and he's walked nearly as many batters (38) as he's struck out.
The considerable potential of the 26-year-old has been evident in dazzling flashes, but not in any sustained fashion at the major league level. Assuming that he remains with the Sox, he will once again be more a lottery ticket than a certainty – a less-than-ideal option to guarantee a rotation spot.
Bedard has been impressive when on the mound, featuring the sort of strikeout-an-inning stuff that can play in the AL East. But his current health issues (a sore left knee and a lat strain that resulted from his pitching through that injury) have underscored the fragility that has limited him to 52 starts in the last four years.
Like Wakefield, Bedard is a free agent. It remains to be seen whether there is mutual interest in bringing the left-hander back. If he were to re-sign with the Sox, however he, too, would represent a lottery ticket with an uncertain payoff.
The Sox have some solid pitching prospects but no options that are clearly ready to step into a major league rotation.
Kyle Weiland made important, meaningful strides in 2011. He showed an arsenal that has convinced the Sox that he can be a major league starter. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen when he will be ready for such a roll on a permanent basis.
The 24-year-old (he turns 25 on Monday) was dominant for Pawtucket in the first half but something short of that in the second half. He finished the minor league season with an 8-10 record, 3.58 ERA, a solid 8.8 strikeouts per nine innings but a pause-inducing 3.9 walks per nine. The latter figure suggests a pitcher who is still learning how to use his full pitch mix, something best accomplished in the minors rather than the majors.
Weiland will start against Tampa Bay on Saturday, but his place in the rotation has been dictated the rash of injuries (initially to Bedard and Beckett, and now to Lackey) that has hit the Sox rotation. Absent those injuries, Weiland would likely be pitching right now for Triple-A Pawtucket in the International League playoffs. There is more grooming to be done before he would represent an ideal option for the Sox rotation.
Felix Doubront tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the Sox on Friday night. But a pitcher who entered 2011 being viewed as either a potential left-handed relief weapon or a solid major league rotation depth option struggled with both injuries and performance this year. He had a 4.22 ERA in 18 games (16 starts) for the PawSox, and he's logged just 75 innings this year.
When on – and Doubront did have some very impressive stretches for Pawtucket this year – the left-hander features three legitimate big league pitches that suggest a player capable of being a starter. But like Weiland, he might need more seasoning to reach that point.
Moreover, given that he has never thrown more than 129 innings in a season, Doubront's innings will have to be managed. As a pitcher who is out of options, he might be best suited as a swing man who gets innings in the majors in 2012 as a member of both the rotation and bullpen. Again, he does not represent the sort of certainty that the Sox would seek when drawing up the blueprint of their rotation for next year.
Right-hander Alex Wilson had the most consistent season of any Sox minor league this year, showing steady, solid results in Double-A and Triple-A. But even with the significant strides made by the hard-throwing right-hander, he has made only four starts in Triple-A. His ability to get swings and misses with his fastball and slider – and the need to refine a third pitch – suggest a pitcher who will get more time in Triple-A to determine whether he can ultimately be a starter or if his big league future will be as an impact reliever.
Junichi Tazawa has impressed in his return from Tommy John surgery, moving up to Pawtucket and putting himself in the mix as a potential September call-up after the PawSox' season ends. However, he has averaged fewer than three innings per appearance as the Sox slowly rebuild his arm strength. It would be nearly impossible to project him as a member of the Red Sox' big league rotation come April.
Further down in the organization, Stolmy Pimentel entered the 2011 season looking like a pitcher with a chance to make a big league impact in early 2012. Instead, he went 0-9 with a 9.12 ERA in Double-A Portland before being demoted to High-A Salem, where he regained his footing while going 6-4 with a 4.53 ERA.
Also in Salem, Drake Britton sabotaged any visions of a potential fast track to the majors while going 1-9 with a 6.91 ERA. Anthony Ranaudo, viewed as the top pitching prospect in the Sox system, had a solid first year as a pro, but he spent only half the year in High-A, where he went 5-5 with a 4.33 ERA in 16 starts.
The Sox still regard Pimentel, Britton and Ranaudo highly, believing that all three feature tremendous stuff. Even so, for the purposes of the 2012 rotation, they won't be realistic options.
While Chris Balcom-Miller turned in a better season than his 4.81 ERA in Portland might suggest (the Sea Dogs' defense was horrific), the 22-year-old (who struck out 8.6 and walked 3.3 batters per nine innings at two levels this year) won't be a big league option until he receives more minor league seasoning.
In short, the Red Sox system does not feature any starters who are obviously ready to slot into the big league rotation for 2012. It would take something of a leap of faith to go with any of those pitchers.
The Red Sox will thus enter next year in an uncertain state similar to what currently prevails.
At the least, the identity of the No. 5 starter remains unsettled. The Sox certainly have candidates who would merit consideration – chiefly Miller, Doubront and Weiland, all of whom are under team control for next year. But while those three represent possible rotation options, none has demonstrated that he is clearly ready for such a role.
Of course, a roll of the dice on a fifth starter would represent a tolerable risk in a world in which Lackey, as a fourth starter, represented at least an approximation of what he was with the Angels. But right now, he doesn't. Instead, he's performed at the level of one of the worst pitchers in the majors for two years.
And so, the Sox will face some challenging options this winter. They may feel compelled to jump once again into the very free agent waters that they typically try to avoid, a place where pitchers like Lackey and Burnett (and soon, perhaps, someone like C.J. Wilson) get long-term deals in excess of $16 million per year. Perhaps a hard push for older pitchers who would seek fewer guaranteed years (Mark Buehrle, Roy Oswalt) would prove compelling.
The team could also plunge back into the market for Japanese pitchers, with Yu Darvish expected to be the biggest pitching prospect to be posted since the Sox brought Matsuzaka over following the 2006 season.
Alternately, the team could consider shifting a current member of the big league bullpen – Alfredo Aceves would seem the most likely candidate given his 2.57 ERA in 14 outings of three or more innings, though Daniel Bard has discussed his potential interest in starting – to the rotation.
That proposition, too, would carry risk, but the consequences of disappointment would be less crushing than a long-term deal for a free-agent.
Whatever direction the Sox choose to go in, it is becoming increasingly clear that the struggles of Lackey's season will be difficult to compartmentalize. As much as his performance has created uncertainty for the Sox going forward in 2011, the impact on seasons to come could be just as far-reaching.

In addition to staffing massage therapists, the spas employ skincare experts who wield Murad products for four kinds of facials. Clients can treat sensitive skin to mild exfoliation or opt for anti-aging facials with glycolic acid before attempting to order off the kids' menu at a diner.10073 Market Circle DriveManassas, VA US

Coroner says authorities not to blame for death
A coronial inquest into the death of a 19-year-woman in a car crash has found authorities were not to blame for the accident.
Hayley Scott-Healey died when a car, driven by her mother, rolled on the Hyden Track near the Goldfields town of Norseman in 2008.
The gravel road was being used as an alternative route to Perth from Kalgoorlie after bushfires closed the Great Eastern Highway.
Ms Scott Healey's family says authorities should have closed the road or at least strongly discouraged its use.
But the Deputy Coroner Evelyn Vicker has found it was not reasonable for police to close the road which was in relatively good condition.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 60 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by LeftCoaster Don't bother... My dog just picks it up out of the dish. If it were a bowl, it might work; but it isn't a bowl. It's a stupid plastic bone with a suction cup on the bottom! Don't buy this if you have big dogs. They will chew it up in a nano-second! October 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mizzely Works like it says! Our small dog was inhaling her food; 1/4 cup would be gone in just a minute. With this, the same amount of food lasts her a good 5-8 minutes. Not only does it help her slow down, but the bowl we have it in is a little smaller than the 6 inch diameter, and it makes her bowl more of a foraging device. It did pop off the first time I used it, but I found if I washed both this and the bowl, and left the suction cup slightly damp, it worked much better. It has now been in place 3 days. August 14, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Magpie930 Did not work for my dog My lab is a very fast eater, so I put this in her bowl and although it did slow her down she had some problems with a sore at the bottom of her front lower gum. This is probably because she was rubbing on the bottom of the device. I would suggest the bowl with the hump instead of this for aggressive eaters. May 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SixPackMamma Slows down the little ones It has slowed down the little ones who are on steroids for life, going to try a few for the bigger guys too. A pain to wash so much stuff all the time but we have tried balls, small bowls turned upside down....this has been the best so far. May 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Breanna Works well I got this for my 6 month old pit bull, who is a very fast eater. This has slowed her down a bit for sure. The suction cup has a strong hold. It hasn't budged since I put it in her food bowl. February 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by RealtorWomack Great at slowing down the gobbler Our Boxer ate faster and with more gusto than any dog I had ever seen. This slows him down and as smart as he is he hasn't managed to remove it from his bowl. December 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Labsandmore works like magic I have a Lab/Husky mix (big dog) with Pancreatitis problems... before I found the Gobble Stopper I would have to massage his tummy after eating to "burp" him, and he still up-chucked often. He ate too fast and took too big bites. With the Gobble Stopper he eats at a slow pace, eats in smaller bites and doesn't throw up anymore after eating. I use a feed stand that takes a special bowl to raise it closer so Buddy doesn't have to stoop to eat (it also stops some of the air intake)... with the Gobble Stopper I was able to use my bowl with the stand and reap all the benefits of other bowls made for the same purpose. Get one, trust me... October 21, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Meggles07 didn't work This item wouldn't stick in the bowl no matter what I tried. March 13, 2015

Ready or not, Lupe Fiasco and Ed Sheeran have teamed up on a brand-new single, and they're kicking it old school.
"Old School Love," the lead single off Lupe's upcoming Tetsuo & Youth album, was released on Monday (October 14). The track, which has a '90s R&B vibe, features the red-headed singer on the hook, singing, "As long as I'm here/ As long as you love me/ Give me that old-school love right now."
And as if the sound wasn't enough of a throwback, Lupe chimes in with rhymes like, "But it's old school, it's like '03/ And this old man is my old me/ Takes a long time to happen so fast/ To realize that your future is somebody else's past." Later on, Lupe drops lyrics about appreciating things of the past like "Analog, black vinyl spinning sounding so good/ Top down, can't be a classic if it's no wood."
While it may seem like an unexpected match, the "Lego House" singer has expressed his love for hip-hop and rap in quite a few interviews and on social media and has been snapped hanging with the likes of The Game and Rick Ross .
In fact, Sheeran told MTV News back in May that his follow-up to 2012's + was looking to sound a lot like something you might hear on hip-hop radio . He even once pledged to "pretend to be rappers" with Taylor Swift if they won a VMA. Until that happens, the Sheerios will just have to keep "Old School Love" on repeat.

During the holidays extra tiny tastes of food may not make a difference in the short run, but little bits from now through New Year's can result in unwelcome weight gains. During the holiday season I find it hard to resist sampling the food I am preparing or baking. Plus, there are more special social occasions with great food.
Here are a few strategies to help curb your tendency to take many tiny tastes:
• Chew gum when cooking or baking.
The Agriculture Water Quality Act was passed by the Kentucky legislature in 1994. It states that landowners with 10 or more acres in agricultural production must develop a water quality plan.
If you farm 10 or more acres or plan to harvest trees on 10 or more acres in Kentucky, then you are required by state law to implement an agriculture water quality plan.
This plan documents the best management practices you're using to protect water resources.

Democracy Derailed?
Faison, M. James, Harvard International Review
Fujimori's Legacy in Peru
After a decade leading Peru's fragile democracy, Alberto Fujimori left the presidency on November 20, 2000, amid a political maelstrom that engulfed his administration and the country's governmental institutions.
Vladimiro Montesinos, Fujimori's most trusted advisor and director of the reviled National Intelligence Service (whose acronym in Spanish is, ironically, SIN), was caught on video making bribes. He may have embezzled US$50 million from government coffers, and investigations are ongoing. Fujimori resigned and chose exile in his parents' home country of Japan over returning to face an enraged Congress.
In his 10 years of increasingly authoritarian rule, Fujimori dismantled Peru's already tenuous democracy by systematically undermining popularly elected political organs through voter fraud and constitutional manipulation. While Peru was hardly a model democracy prior to Fujimori's election, after his time in office it remains nothing more than a chaotic political landscape. Peru under Fujimori is a case study in how strongman politics can stifle nascent democracy and undermine a country's prospects for future democratic growth.
In April 1992, after being in office for a mere two years, Fujimori dissolved Congress and suspended the constitution, purportedly because lawmakers "blocked reforms and weakened the war on leftist rebels," as USA Today reported. Such an egregious act discredited Peru's claim to be a legitimate democracy. Fujimori manipulated Congress again in 1997 when legislators voted 52-33 to dismiss three members of the Constitutional Court who had ruled that Fujimori could not seek a third term as president. As Anne Manuel, Deputy Director for Human Rights Watch, stated at the time, Fujimori "so thoroughly controls the Congress that he can get them to do whatever he wants, and now dismissing these judges clearly demonstrates that his government won't tolerate an independent judiciary." Under his administration, the legislative and judicial authorities were fused with that of the presidency, creating a dictatorship in all but name.
Fujimori's disrespect for democracy transformed Peru's constitution. After suspending the constitution in 1992, Fujimori ordered the new Congress to amend it in order to allow him to seek a second term. The 1990 constitution under which he was elected forbade reelection, but rather than abide by the country's laws, he defied them and wrote new ones. Before Fujimori's resignation, only Fidel Castro had been a Latin American head of state for longer. Fujimori's repeated betrayal of the principles of presidential democracy sent the message that, while Fujimori was in power, Peruvian politics had to be played by his rules.
Members of Fujimori's political party, Cambio (Change) 90, and certain factions of the military, however, still argue that a strong leader was desperately needed to bring stability to what was then an anarchic Peru. They claim that both inflation and the civil war with the Shining Path rebels were not brought under control until after Fujimori first suspended the constitution in 1992. Close analysis of the situation, however, yields a more complete picture. While inflation has been brought under control, further privatization of state industries has not benefited the vast majority of Peruvians, instead increasing inequality. This trend, coupled with Peru's 10. …

I am 19 weeks today and at my ultrasound yesterday they said he is measuring at 10 oz...well when I looked that up it seemed a little bigger than "normal". My doc said to expect over 9 lbs for this one because my first was 8lbs 9oz and a girl... with this one being a boy He said my son will probably be bigger. NOT worried at all...just curious if anyone else knows approx. how much their baby weighs right now.
19 weeks, what does your baby weigh?
Don't be so open minded your brain falls out.

Mine was 12oz at 19w, 5d and they didn't say anything about her being big. In fact they said it's an average weight and that the weight is just the computer's best guess at this age anyway.
Mom to Jamesson, 26; Molly, 23; Jenna, 21; Alex, 20; Abigail, 16; Madeleine, 12; Tessa, 4; and Sophie, 16mo!

Snyder must take lead on energy issues
The Lansing debate on replacing Michigan's 2008 energy law is heating up, but the issues are complicated and it's hard to know whose information to trust. Here's our take on the three main issues.
Crain's Detroit Business is a metered site. Print and digital subscribers have unlimited access to stories, but registered users are limited to eight stories every 30 days. After viewing three metered stories, you'll be asked to register or log in. After eight more stories in 30 days, you'll be asked to subscribe.
The power generated from the installation — the automaker's largest in Michigan — would go back into the grid.
The Lansing debate on replacing Michigan's 2008 energy law is heating up, but the issues are complicated and it's hard to know whose information to trust. Here's our take on the three main issues.
Details of DTE Energy and Consumers Energy's renewable energy programs
The utilities say new federal carbon emission rules make the state's mandates redundant.
A new report from the Michigan Public Service Commission shows $257 million spent by utilities to reduce energy use should save customers at least $1.1 billion over the course of the programs.
Here are the basics behind the energy debate underway in the state's capital this fall.
The reactor at the nuclear power plant in Monroe County will remain shut down as refueling and maintenance work is moved up, DTE Energy Co. said.
Before changing the law, Michigan should conduct a study to really identify the net benefits of negatives net metering offers.
The bill introduced Wednesday by U.S. Sens. Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow also would require federal studies of risks posed by pipelines that run through the Great Lakes and other waterways in the region.
The state's oil and gas industry and regulators have a long way to go toward convincing the public that hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is environmentally sound, said the director of a study about the practice.
Leaders from Michigan to Beijing attended meetings Tuesday with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Seattle and signed an agreement aimed at pushing cooperation on the use of clean tech businesses to combat climate change.
The Jackson-based company's contract with Minnesota-based Geronimo Energy will push Michigan's largest utility past its 10 percent state renewable energy mandate.
The new facility, which debuted today, has more than 4,000 panels and generates enough electricity to power 185 homes.

Photos: Draft him or don't? The case for and against 10 potential Dallas Cowboys targets
Photo: Eric Gay/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas: THE CASE FOR: First and foremost, the Cowboys need a safety. This was at least partly true immediately after the season, but the release of starter Gerald Sensabaugh and the implementation of Monte Kiffin's Tampa 2 scheme (which requires a playmaking safety in the middle) makes it one of the team's biggest needs. Vaccaro is probably the top overall safety in this draft, if for no other reason than because he's polished and should be NFL ready right away. He's an in-the-box safety with a nose for the football.

Cornerback Keenan Lewis has been placed on injured reserve by the New Orleans Saints.
The move means the end of the season for the veteran cornerback.
Lewis has struggled with health issues for the last two seasons and played in just six games in 2015. His latest leg injury game in Week 10 against the Redskins.
Lewis is signed through the 2017 season. He's set to make $2.7 million next year.
Brandon Browner and Delvin Breaux are likely to continue as the starters in Lewis' absence.

artists were flocking to Detroit, Florida, and California for work. And a comic book industry (including Donenfeld and Pines), hungry for talent, began to snatch crumbs from the tables of the animation studios. One agent who supplied those "crumbs" from the animation crowd was Pines' father-in-law, B. W Sangor. Using moonlighting animators, illustrators from pulp magazines, and new, untested talent, Sangor began to funnel hundreds of pages of art and story to Pines, as well as to Donenfeld and other publishers. These super-talents of animation were so prolific that Sangor began to skim off pages for his own adventures in the world of publishing. His publishing house was named Creston, and the final piece that would become ACG was added to the puzzle.
In retrospect, ACG's accomplishments from 1943 to 1967 remain impressive today Unnumbered hundreds of thousands of ACG readers have had moments of epiphany forever etched into their memories as they traveled on forbidden adventures into unknown worlds of imagination.
Written for scholars but accessible to comic book fans and casual readers as well, this book is intended for an people interested in comic books and in the history of the men and women who created them during the early days of the most popular art form in the world.

"Best of Both Worlds"
This is our 2nd year coming to Edisto and we certainly found the best of both worlds in Hammock's Heaven. We loved the marsh and creek for fishing, but to also have the unobstructed view of the ocean and being able to hear the waves crashing on the beach while being on the dock was fantastic! Also Atwood responded very quickly (and on a Sunday) to take care of the one minor issue we had with the home. Great customer service! We are already looking forward to next year!

"Hammock's Heaven - Late July 2013"
My family enjoyed our week at Hammock's Heaven. The secluded location was more our style than the beach houses on Edisto proper. Kids loved the creek with dock in back, where we crabbed and fished most days. House was clean and in good condition.
We really had to have minimal interaction with Atwood - the ordered linens, etc were all in the house when we arrived, and unlike some other vacations (in other places), I never had to call about any issues with bugs, HVAC, etc. - everything just worked and was nice not to have any issues.
Response from the manager, The Atwood Agency - 08/04/2013
Thank you for your review. We appreciate you sharing your review with us. We are so pleased that you had a wonderful, problem free vacation. Our goal is for everyone to enjoy Edisto to the fullest. We would certainly like to invite you back for another great visit to Hammock's Heaven.

"It is heaven"
We loved being in this house for the week. We could not get enough of the beautiful views and the dock! We even managed to transport family, chairs, ice chests and fishing equipment to the inlet for beach days. We were very happy that we purchased kayaks for this vacation. Fun, fun, fun.
Response from the manager, The Atwood Agency - 07/14/2013
Thank you for your review. We really appreciate your excellent feedback. We are just thrilled that you had a wonderful week at Hammock's Heaven. We look forward to seeing you again next year.

"Nice quite location"
The property was in generally good shape and is in a quiet location. The main spaces are very bright and airy and the bedrooms comfortable with the exception of the children's room - very crampt. The view is great. The opening mechanism was broken on a number of windows and needs to be replaced.

What a great house! Plenty of room to relax, a quiet neighborhood and a creek for crabbing and kayaking. Hard to beat the view across the marsh to the ocean. We'll be back again next year!

"What else can go wrong?"
aside from finding the outdoor shower running full force when we arrived, having no deck chairs until I made a special request, a water problem (first the toilets with no water and then the sinks) which required a couple of calls to Atwood (who responded very well). Then a fire alarm system that blared throughout the house at 5:30 A.M. and continued erratically through the day until we disconnected them all so we could sleep that night. The electrician called to fix the water pump problems neglected to fix the alarms. Turned out that the alarms still had the original battaries. I guess the minor irritations would include not having the rental telephone number nor the wi-fi password on hand. Again I had to call Atwood.
Be prepared for solving the unknown when you find four, count them, four remotes for the only television in the house. Other than the above, the crabbing is good and the fishing is lousy. Be ready to put The Atwood Agency on your speed dial. Oh, as yet, I have not heard the word "recompense".

"Nice way to end the year"
It was everything the descriptions said and then some. We caught crab, saw dolphins, rode bikes, The house was layed out very nice. The only negative spot was having one TV for a house of that size. At night when you wanted to relax or watch something else it was not possible. We have stayed at many places during this same week. This was the first house to adequetly have dishes and pots to accomodate the group.

"Too Bad Too Trashy"
This was the second year in a row that we arrived to find a stinking, maggot-infested trash mess under the house. We have always enjoyed coming to this particular home, but having to clean up other peoples' trash (to remove the smell) is not a way to start a vacation!

"It's the little things"
I downgraded the general condition catagory for what I consider minor problems, but they add up. My list:
Kitchen faucet leaks
No drain plug in bathroom
Weak and useless compactor
Excess garbage cans with no lids
Kitchen sink leaks into pan below sink
garbage disposal doesn't work
Very few deck chairs but lots of porch chairs
Wi-Fi directions as given do not get you to the internet.
Phone number not given with the property. We had to call Atwood to get it so we could leave contacts.
No phone book
No TV channel guide
Interior door to stairs has a lock problem and needs replacement. Looks like the door was forced at some time. The interior light was out when we arrived which made using the stairs hazardous. A ladder was needed. Atwood fixed it immediately. Kudos!
Several boards on the boardwalk are lifting and could trip walkers.
There are tree branches that rub against the house and will soon cause damage.
Like I said....little things. But it wouldn't take much to fix them. Otherwise, five stars.

"Great view of the ocean. Large home with plenty of room!"
We had a great stay at Hammock Heaven. We love that each room had sliding glass doors onto the deck. The dock was great for fishing. There was plenty of room for all us. I would stay here again!

"Wonderful Thanksgiving at Edisto 2010"
My Family really enjoyed our Thanksgiving stay this year. The house was very nice, had plenty of room for everyone. The Kitchen is well stocked (we did Big Thanksgiving Dinner) we had plenty of pots, pans, dishes and silverware. Nice open kitchen/dining area. We had friends over for Carolina/Clemson Game plenty of chairs and couches. Fishing was very good - we had a fish fry one night. Dock has plenty of water but creek is shallow at low tide. We had shallow bass boat work great but our bigger ocean-going boat could only run at high tide (tricky getting to Ocean). Crabbig with traps off the dock was very productive. The Property is gated and well taken care of. We say plenty of deer at night on the property. Very quiet and relaxing. Would recommend to friends. Thanks J.E.

"Hammocks Heaven - The location is beautiful and the home is love"
the toaster did not toast, the kitchen window was broken, the dishwasher did not wash the dishes clean so we washed all dishes by hand,the grill was rusted through on the bottom so we could not grill, the refrigerator door would not close so we had to prop a cooler in front of it at all times, quite a few light bulbs were burned out, the wiring in one of the downstairs bathrooms seemed faulty-lights and fan only worked part of the time.
Response from the manager, The Atwood Agency - 11/23/2010
Dear Caroline,Thank you for your review of Hammock's Heaven. We apprecite your feedback. We are working with the owner to resolve these issues to make the home a better property. Several things have been reported to our housekeeping and maintenance department for their review. We hope that you will choose Atwood again for your return to Edisto Beach.Regards,Atwood Vacations Team

"Hammock's Heaven Was Heavenly"
The location of this property was outstanding. From the top deck you had a gorgeous view across the wetlands and dunes to the ocean. We kayaked off of our own dock and caught 20 blue crabs in just two hours one evening. The kitchen is well equipped--otherwise the furnishing and decor are sparse and the house needs maintenance and updating.
The property is pet friendly and we chose to bring our two dogs who loved running back and forth on the dock. The hard wood floors and simple furishing made it easy to fully relax. We would return again and highly recommend it to other families.
Response from the manager, The Atwood Agency - 08/25/2010
Dear Leslie,Thank you for your review. We appreciate your time in providing us this feedback. It sounds like you had such a wonderful experience on Edisto. We look forward to seeing you again very soon and invite you back for another fun time!Kindest Regards,KellyAtwood Vacations

"There is a reason it is called Hammock's Heaven"
The location is absolutely awesome. We found it hard to keep our eyes off of the marsh and the ocean. Very peaceful! We spent as much time, if not more, at the dock in the kayaks, crabbing or just enjoying the tranquility. The house was nice but we felt it needed to have comfortable furniture on the deck. Housekeeping wise: broken chairs should have been removed and a more tidy appearance in general.

"Guy's Fishing Trip to Edisto"
There were six guys at Hammock's Heaven. Three from upstate South Carolina and three from Georgia. There was ample space and plenty of individual bedding. The view from the balcony was great and the home was comfortable and well maintained. The only challenge was the fish were off during our stay; however, we still had a great time.
Many thanks!
Respectfully yours,
Greg Taylor

"Springtime at Edisto"
We have always loved Edisto. This was my first time coming in late March. Hammock's Heaven IS Heaven from the first second you step into the house and look across the wide marsh. We brought our jon boat and a kayak and LOVED having a boat ramp for the jon boat two doors down! I found the front tibia of a bison and a large vertebrae past the houses going towards the end of Edingsville Beach. The sea washed them up to me. I took both to the Interpretive Center which is another jewel and not to be missed on any visit. They confirmed I had a bison fossil. Also, not to be missed is Botany Bay Plantation. Hammock's Heaven is so spacious and comfortable everyone could have a place to call their own. The kitchen is well stocked. The only suggestion I had was for the owners to include a DVD player along with their VCR. There will be evenings or days when you just want to watch a movie and most of us travel with our favorite DVDs rather than videos. A wonderful place and I have already reserved it for 2 more visits.

"Beautiful but chilly week."
House was beautiful but there are several problems encountered that need to be addressed before we would rent again. 1. Not enough utensils or pots and pans to accomodate 14 people. 2. Sleeper couch does not work therefore unable to sleep people on it and it is considered in the # of beds in the description.3. It was a chilly week and it would have been great to use the fireplace but there were no instructions available to light the gas logs. For people who don't own gaslogs it is not something that we should try to do without instruction. 4.Really could use and extra TV downstairs and a DVD player. It rained adn we had many children and they couldn't watch movies because they brought DVDS and because the only tv is in the living room then the adults would have to not watch football and it was the week of NEw YEars. We did have a lovely time and the house is otherwise fantastic but would encourage at the least the dishes be taken care of and the sleeping couch be reapired.
Response from the manager, The Atwood Agency - 01/06/2010
We appreciate the informatin you have provided us with concerning this home and we will let the owner know so that these issues can be rectified as best they can. We apologize that you your experience was not all that you expected it to. We would be happy to help you in the future with another Edisto getaway and look forward to seeing you again soon. Thanks Atwood Vacations.

"Christmas 2009"
We loved the home and thought it was just perfect for our Family Christmas! The beds were comfy..the space just right and the view...out of this world. The only thing we had wished for was more silver ware...there weren't enough forks for the 11 of us and for a cork screw. Otherwise it was fabulous!! Thank you for sharing your home.
Response from the manager, The Atwood Agency - 12/26/2009
We are so happy that you and your family had a great time. We will bring the concerns you had about the silverware and kitchen tools to the owner and get this rectified as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing you again and please let us know if we can help you with anything. Thanks Atwood Vacations.

The property was as described in the brochure. It was in a great location for us, because we weren't interested in being right on the beach. Everyone in our party had a great time. The main problem we had was that the sofa bed was broken. The kitchen was pretty well stocked, but there could have been a couple more big skillets; it is a house for 14 people.

"Hammock's Heaven"
This is a nice house, and because of the wood floors, is perfect for travelers with pets.
The beds were comfortable, the dock is nice, and the views are pretty. The Hammocks is also an intriguing place.
There were some problems with maintenance of the home:
the bedspreads (cotton) and the mattress pads were dirty. We had to wash all of them the day we arrived.
The spin cycle on the dryer did not work, the coffeemaker did not work, there were no bathmats in the very slippery bathtubs. The air conditioning cools the home irregularly, with some rooms being freezing and others being hot.
Atwood immediately took care of the coffeemaker and bathmat situations.
We just lived with the rest and didn't complain. I told them the bed linens needed to be cleaned better for the next tenants.
Additionally, the home's kitchen needs to be stocked better.
I think I would rent the house again, but only if I could be assured it was CLEAN, operational, and the air conditioning issues had been resolved.

"Mandy W.'s review of Hammock's Heaven"
Thanks to Atwood Agency for making our family and friends vacation a memorable week. The house was comfortable for a large group along with the views of Scott Creek each morning was breath taking. Making plans for return visit next year!

"Yearly vacation to Edisto"
Each year our family takes a week s long vacation to Edisto. This year we were extremely surprised with our rental. We have always liked our houses but this one was spectacular. Not only was there marsh views but we could see the ocean, which was not mentioned in the on line ad for the house. We were happily surprised. Our kids loved crab trapping off the dock and it was a very short drive to the beach access. We were close to everything but surronded by nothing but beach air and nature. We would reccomend this house to anyone.

A typical summertime diversion involves getting into the seat of a roller coaster or other amusement park ride in order to obtain a slightly strange dizzy feeling from the weightlessness and gravity forces applied during the experience.
A typical summertime diversion involves getting into the seat of a roller coaster or other amusement park ride in order to obtain a slightly strange dizzy feeling from the weightlessness and gravity forces applied during the experience.
But imagine getting that dizzy or weightless feeling without having been on any ride – and it doesn't go away. This is known as a vestibular disorder and according to one recent large epidemiological study, around 70 million Americans over the age of 40 have experienced this in some form and more than 40 percent of our population is expected to experience this during their lifetimes.
Dizziness, vertigo and disequilibrium are common symptoms of vestibular problems. They are all symptoms that can result from a peripheral vestibular disorder (a dysfunction of the balance organs of the inner ear), or a central vestibular disorder (a dysfunction of one or more parts of the central nervous system that help process balance and spatial information).
While these symptoms can be linked to a common cause, they are different and describing them accurately to a doctor can mean the difference in a getting the correct diagnosis. Symptoms include:
n Dizziness is a sensation of lightheadedness, faintness or unsteadiness.
n Vertigo, unlike dizziness, has a rotational or spinning component. It is the perception of movement, of yourself or surrounding objects.
n Disequilibrium simply means a loss of equilibrium or the inability to determine true body position, motion and altitude relative to surroundings. Spatial disorientation, as it is known affects both airplane pilots and underwater divers.
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), eight million American adults report long-term problems with balance, while millions more suffer from chronic dizziness. This is a significant risk to those aged 65 and older because it increases the risk for falls.
So, what causes it?
Sensory input from your eyes, touch sensors in your body and the inner ear are all processed by the brain. But it's some hair cells with tiny crystals in your inner ear, called "ear rocks" that stimulate nerve cells when we move our heads – and send signals back to our brain to guide our sense of up and down.
If these little rocks fall off into one of the inner ear canals, the brain senses that the head is moving a lot more than it actually is resulting in vertigo.
What can be done about it?
At St. Mary's Medical Center's Outpatient Therapy department, we see a number of cases. Mostly caused by aging, but some due to disease or injury. Following a thorough evaluation and testing, a qualified physical therapist can develop an individualized treatment plan that may involve medication from your physician, but primarily, some valuable exercises.
Page 2 of 2 - Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a form of physical therapy that uses specialized exercises involving head movement – essential in stimulating and retraining the vestibular system. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy has been highly effective in most adults and children with these types of disorders.
The goal of VRT is to retrain the brain to recognize and process signals from the vestibular system in coordination with vision and body sensors. This often involves desensitizing the balance system to some movements that can bring on or aggravate symptoms.
Symptoms of chronic dizziness or imbalance can have a significant impact on the ability of a person to perform one or more activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, or simply getting around inside the home.
If you, or someone you know is having difficulty "getting off the roller coaster," see your doctor soon.
Lisa Hulik is a doctor of physical therapy and practices in the Outpatient Therapy department at St. Mary's Medical Center and can be reached at 816-655-5700.

John McAslan to overhaul Hornsey Town Hall
John McAslan + Partners has become the latest architect charged with the project to restore the Grade II*-listed 1930s Hornsey Town Hall in north London.
Unveiled by scheme backer Haringey Council on Friday (19 September), the practice follows in the footsteps of fellow London-based firm DSDHA, which had been expected to take forward a £15 million cinema and residential scheme within and around the 'municipal-style' building (AJ online 22.08.06).
DSDHA was appointed previously for initial feasibility work, and was shortlisted for the new procurement but lost out to John McAslan.
McAslan is looking at a 'new community use' for the 1935 landmark, designed by Reginald Uren, which would be funded by new housing and shops on the site.
One of the building's claims to fame is that it hosted the first concert by the band Queen.
Practice director Hannah Lawson, said: 'We look forward to working with the Community Partnership Board, Haringey Council and the local community to realise their aspiration.
'Key to our approach will be comprehensive and inclusive consultation with the community and other stakeholders, focusing on the needs and aspirations of the people who will enjoy this building for decades to come.'
A planning application is expected to be submitted next summer (2009), with work due to start on site in early 2010.
