Alkalize Your Body, Energize Your Life
Dr. David Brant Introduces New Swanson® pH Balance Alka-Tone, the Ultimate Alkalizing Drink Mix
Dear Friends and Valued Customers:
Dr. David Brant, D.D.S., is a longtime friend and colleague. A star athlete in high school and college, David never stopped being active. Over the years he has led his sons' hockey teams to many local and regional victories and he continues to advise teams and players to this day.
Recently, David came to me with a product unlike anything he had seen before— a patented dietary supplement he felt passionate about both as a dentist and as an athlete. It's called Alka-Plex™, and it's the foundation of our new Swanson pH Balance brand drink mix called Alka-Tone, the Ultimate Alkalizing Formula for Endurance & Recovery. I recently sat down with David to talk about what attracted him to this unique supplement and why he feels it deserves to be "the next big thing."
As always, I wish you the very best of health,
SWANSON: David, you and I go way back, but you've never come to me with a product idea or request before. Why now?
BRANT: Yes, Lee, we've known each other for more years than we'd probably like to admit. I had not approached you prior to this for the simple reason that I had never found a supplement that has as many potential health benefits as this one does. I felt an urgency to share the news of this product because of the benefits that I, my family, friends and patients have experienced. I knew that you would recognize what this product can do for people and be able to help me spread the word more quickly to many more people.
I became aware of Alka-Plex Technology™ through a friend in Atlanta. He raved about the improvements he noticed in his energy levels and general health due to its acid neutralizing powers. He sent me some samples; I tried it, and I was deeply impressed by what I experienced. That fall, while raking leaves in the yard for six hours, I took my Alka-Plex™ drink mix. Normally raking that many leaves for that long would make me stiff and sore the next day. I had no stiffness or soreness!

- Sale Price $15.74
I was still skeptical and wanted to see if others had the same results that I did. So I gave it to my father, my sister, my sons and a friend to try. I did not tell them exactly what to expect, I just said take this and use it. Alka-Plex™ kept proving itself. It works. At 93, my dad is now more mentally alert and better at participating in conversations with us. My sister and sons are less stiff and tired and have less fatigue from exercise, and my sons notice more energy during hockey games and practices.
In fact, a few times my supply of Alka-Plex™ ran out and my oldest son voiced his strong feelings that he needed his Alka-Plex™; his legs were just "rubber" during his hockey games without it. That is when I started researching Alka-Plex™ with regard to systemic acidity from diet and exercise.
SWANSON: What does acid/alkaline balance (or pH) have to do with energy, performance and recovery?
BRANT: When we exercise our muscles release lactic acid, which contributes to an acid environment within the body. The body must maintain pH balance in order to function optimally. As we become more acidic, many structures and functions within the body can be affected.
Research done at the Seattle Perfomance Medicine Clinic using elite world-class cyclists and a double-blind study done at the Movement Science/Performance Laboratory at Montana State using elite cross country skiers showed that these athletes could exercise 52% longer to the point of exhaustion, had 38% less lactic acid build-up, and had a 35% faster recovery when taking Alka-Plex™. These athletes were also able to rehydrate faster and more thoroughly using Alka-Plex Technology™ water. The researchers noted benefits on metabolic efficiency, mineral absorption, acid neutralization, reduced physical stress, improved sports performance and faster recovery from exercise-induced fatigue.
I firmly believe that a drink with Alka-Plex™ should be used to replace the typical sports drinks that I see being consumed by kids daily at the rinks and other sport venues.
SWANSON: Typical energy and recovery drinks are laden with sugars, caffeine, taurine and other fast-acting ingredients. Alka-Tone has none of these, yet it's remarkably effective. Won't consumers miss the "rush" that those other products provide?
BRANT: Can you believe there are typically 28–36 grams of sugar in the sports drinks we all know?
The sugar defeats the intent of the drink. I don't feel you can adequately recharge the minerals depleted normally during exercise while using a drink laced with sugar. That sugar just causes more acid to impede performance and recovery, just what an athlete doesn't want. Some of the sports drink companies have come out with "zero" formulations touting "no sugar," but they're using artificial sweeteners like saccharin, sucralose or aspartame. These are not good for you, either.
Caffeine and taurine, as you mention, are issues as well. In fact, I read recently that emergency room visits are up substantially for our younger populations due to excessive consumption of energy drinks. Just today I read a Harvard study stating that men who drink one 12 ounce can of soda per day have a 20% increase in cardiovascular health risk.
To me, the "rush" we experience when being active should come from being able to play longer, faster and stronger, and recover more quickly. Those things are a rush in themselves. The sugar/caffeine high just produces that cranky, tired, run-down feeling after it wears off—the crash. With drinks like Alka-Tone there isn't any sugar or caffeine, so there isn't an artificial rush or crash.
SWANSON: You mentioned that your father has benefited by using an Alka-Plex™ product. Why should this be of particular interest to seniors?
BRANT: The fact is that acid/alkaline balance influences our entire physiology no matter age or activity level. My father is in his 90s and, as I said, we've noticed that this product has helped him maintain some clarity and alertness. But it's funny, people's perception of the word "senior." We don't have to be talking about folks in their 80s and 90s. Seniors today are you and me, Lee, the "baby boomers." We're the ones spending thousands on acid neutralizers, metabolic aids and whatnot. We're also the ones consuming a lot of diet soda and things we like to think are healthier but are just the opposite. Alka-Tone is a great alternative to acid-promoting beverages and it's an excellent solution to help those of us in our 50s, 60s and beyond support systemic pH balance.
SWANSON: You've said that as a dentist, you believe that the Akla-Plex™ alkalizing ingredient may have benefits beyond its use in energy and recovery formulas. What are some of the other benefits to alkalizing the body, aside from those we've already discussed?
BRANT: Our bodies use calcium to balance pH systemically. Our modern Western-style diets promote and cause excessive systemic acidity. The drinks we drink—coffee, soda, juices, even milk, cause us to become more acidic. When our pH is out of balance and we are more acidic, enzymes that are normally constructive become destructive. Oxygen delivery to the cells suffers. Research shows that low oxygen delivery to cells is a major risk factor for a wide variety of concerns.
From a periodontal standpoint, there is a lot of research on the benefits of maintaining stable pH balance. We know there are links between periodontal health and heart health, circulatory health, metabolic health and beyond. More research on the links between oral health and systemic health are coming.
Our diets are detrimental to our periodontal health; sugar and refined carbohydrates are not good for our teeth or the rest of our body. As we learn more about the links between oral health and systemic health, we're also learning that we can positively influence oral health by supporting systemic health through proper diet, exercise and the use of dietary supplements. There are several clinical studies citing the promising benefits of nutritional supplements in periodontal care, both direct (within the mouth) and systemic (within the body).
I believe Alka-Tone—with its natural stevia-based sweetener, energizing B-vitamins, electrolytes and Alka-Plex™—presents a breakthrough alternative to typical sport drinks that goes beyond mere athletic support. It promotes total-body wellness in ways those other drinks simply cannot do. Really, besides the fun of sports, the goal of any physical activity is to promote good health. So why would you use a product that interferes with that? Alka-Tone with Alka-Plex™ is the healthy choice. It really is, as you call it, the Ultimate Alkalizing Drink Mix.
SWANSON: David, thank you for bringing our attention to Alka-Plex™ and helping us to introduce Swanson Ultra® Alka-Tone to our customers.
BRANT: It's absolutely my pleasure, Lee. Whether it's a game of hockey or the game of life, I know that Alka-Tone is going to help millions of people of all ages achieve optimum performance and enjoy every activity to the fullest.

Nintendo Bringing Out Flame Red 3DS in September
Come September 9, you'll no longer have to choose only between a blue and black 3DS, because the new Flame Red 3DS will be hitting store shelves that day alongside Star Fox 64 3D for the new low $169 price. If you're in the market for a 3DS, I would suggest getting this one since it clearly is the best one of the three possible colors. Or you can not wait and just buy an old color from Target and get your 20 free games, too. Whatever.

Mark Hamill is in talks to return to 'Star Wars', he has revealed.
The actor starred as Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy of 'Star Wars' films, alongside Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia and Harrison Ford's Han Solo.
It's previously been reported that Harrison was set to reprise the role of Han Solo in the movie, which is being directed by JJ Abrams, and that all three stars were interested.
Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford in Star Wars
Now Mark has confirmed that the original actors have been approached about the eagerly-anticipated Episode 7.
He told Entertainment Tonight: "They're talking to us. George [Lucas] wanted to know whether we'd be interested.
"He did say that if we didn't want to do it, they wouldn't cast another actor in our parts, they would write us out. I can tell you right away that we haven't signed any contracts."
Mark Hamill in July 2012
Discussing his possible role in future Star Wars films, he said: "I'm assuming, because I haven't talked to the writers, that these movies would be about our offspring - like my character would be sort of in the Obi-Wan range, an influential character."
Forget it, everyone; it's Claflin-town. (See "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," "Snow White and The Huntsman," "Catching Fire" and his vest.)
When you stop laughing about Crawford, consider that before "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope," Harrison Ford was best known for playing horndog hotshot Bob Falfa in "American Graffiti."
Give CinemaBlend editor Katey Rich credit for this one: "Hedlund is 29 and could play younger if need be, and has both the good looks and the physicality to convincingly grow up to become Harrison Ford."
DeHaan looks like a young Leonardo DiCaprio IRL and acts like a young Ryan Gosling in "The Place Beyond The Pines." He's sneaky old (27), but why couldn't he grow up to be Harrison Ford, too?
Because Josh Holloway and Nathan Fillion are too old.
Squint and he kind of looks like Harrison Ford. (Also, thanks to the terrible "Smash" season premiere ratings, he'll have some free time on the calendar soon enough.)
Because every list of young actors under 30 needs two Hemsworths.
Here's No. 2.
Eddie Redmayne looks nothing like Harrison Ford, and is so British that he probably bathes in Earl Grey. That said, the "Les Miserables" star is knocking on the door of franchise stardom: he was on the "short lists" for "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." Hollywood executives want to give this guy a big shot -- and his work with the Wachowskis in "Jupiter Ascending" could be the launching pad to "Star Wars."
Find and replace on the Redmayne blurb.
Call him a poor man's Redmayne. Levi has been on the cusp of fame for awhile, and -- better yet -- has instant cred with the Comic-Con crowd thanks to his role on "Chuck." Unfortunately, he might be too old to play a guy younger than Harrison Ford in "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope." (He's already 32.)
That scene in "(500) Days of Summer."
From John McClane, Jr. to young Han Solo?
After getting peed on by Nicole Kidman, Efron deserves a break.
Not only could he pass for young Harrison Ford, but he possesses a youthful enthusiasm despite his age (25) that suits the character.
No movie would suffer from having Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the lead. (Except maybe "Savages.")
If Kitsch is busy.
Real talk for one second: Skylar Astin is your next big movie star. He oozes charisma, looks the part of a space smuggler and gives the Han Solo movie a connection to "Pitch Perfect."
If at first you don't succeed ...

Zend Offers PHP Application Server
The PHP company Zend now includes an enterprise application server named Zend Server as one of its offerings.
The Zend Server is available as an enterprise product and in a Community Edition that is cost-free but not Open Source. Both contain the BSD-licensed Zend Framework and the Eclipse-licensed Zend Studio.
Zend provides repositories with Debian and RPM packages to allow Linux users an easy installation and update of the PHP stack. Users of older Enterprise Linux versions can also receive an update. Zend CEO Andi Gutmans promised in conversation with Linux Magazine Online that updates and security fixes would be delivered more often and in smaller bits, much as with Linux distros.
The Zend server is also available for Windows and Mac OS X. The company touts as a key benefit of the PHP server that it offers developers an identical stack on each platform. According to Gutmans the bulk of the PHP application is developed under Windows, but goes into production under Linux.
Further key benefits of the Zend Server is what the company calls code acceleration through bytecode caching, full page caching, and advanced application monitoring and diagnostics.
The Community Edition download is cost-free, while the cost-based edition is available as a 30-day evaluation download.

Wexler seeks to reassure Jewish Hillary Clinton supporters that Barack Obama is OK on Israel
With Barack Obama on the verge of locking up the Democratic presidential nomination, his most prominent Florida supporter turned his attention today to a pivotal group of voters for the November election: Jewish supporters of Hillary Clinton.
Robert Wexler, congressman from Delray Beach, delivered his seal of approval to a bastion of Clinton support, Kings Point in Tamarac, home to thousands of Jewish retirees who are among the most reliable voters anywhere at turning out for elections.
It's a vital constituency. If Jewish Democrats in Broward and Palm Beach counties don't vote Democratic in the fall, many in the political world - including Wexler, who represents Kings Point and several similar condominium communities in the region - acknowledge it is difficult, if not impossible, for a candidate to win Florida in November.
And Florida's 27 electoral votes are one-tenth of the 270 needed to win the presidency.
For many reasons, including email-fed rumors and a lack of familiarity, some Jewish voters are wary of Obama.
Even Marc Sultanof, vice mayor of Tamarac and president of the Kings Point Democratic Club, said he raised the issue with Wexler before the congressman began a town hall meeting today at the Kings Point Clubhouse.
"I said, 'I'm concerned,'" Sultanof said. "I said, 'I just want to hear it from you.'" He said Wexler delivered the same assurance he provided to about 300 Kings Point residents gathered at the Clubhouse. "I'm comfortable now, at this point," Sultanof said.
State Sen. Jeremy Ring, D-Parkland, who has been neutral between Clinton and Obama, said concerns in the Jewish community are a big problem for Obama, now that it seems almost certain he will be the party's nominee.
"For my district, Obama has a problem with the heavily Jewish population," said Ring, who represents Coral Springs, Margate, North Lauderdale, Parkland, Tamarac and sections of Coconut Creek, Lauderhill, Oakland Park, Pompano Beach.
"They are very concerned, and we hear it constantly. It is very significant."
He said there's enough time for Obama to overcome the hesitation.
Ring and County Commissioner Stacy Ritter, the Broward Chairwoman of Obama for America, said the candidate and high-level surrogates with credibility in the Jewish community need to campaign heavily in South Florida.
"It's incumbent on Obama or his team of surrogates to put their minds at ease that he will be pro-Israel," Ring said.
That begins next week. Obama is due in the state for several events, including fundraisers. Wexler said he is trying to arrange an event in his Broward-Palm Beach county district at which Obama would personally deliver his message to the Jewish voters.
Wexler, an Orthodox Jew who is one of Israel's most prominent supporters in Congress, said it's a message that will please Jewish voters.
Obama, he said, is a "110 percent" supporter of Israel on a range of issues relating to that country's status as America's No. 1 ally in the Middle East and on the need to ensure its security.
Wexler didn't wait for the audience to ask; he raised the issue himself. "I want to answer one question. I would not be involved with a presidential candidate that was anything other than 100 percent supportive of the state of Israel."
He reported that Obama appeared at the Israeli embassy's 60th anniversary celebration in Washington, D.C., and delivered a "supportive speech that was passionate about the commitment the United States has for Israel."
Sultanof said he thinks Jewish voters will "probably" come around.

Post 84 wraps up district title
Gearing up for this week's Area I Tournament, Auburn's Post 84 American Legion baseball team took two of three games in a weekend series from Antelope to capture the District 7 championship.
The wins, which move Post 84's record to 19-7 on the season, now vault Auburn into this week's Area I tourney, which Post 84 will host at James Field in Auburn.
The Area I tournament begins on Wednesday and will run through Saturday or Sunday, if necessary. Auburn will open its Area I action on Wednesday at 7 p.m. by taking on the Fairfield Expos.
In last weekend's action, Post 84 got off to a good start on Thursday by notching a 10-7 win. Alex Mason and Troy Runte combined efforts on the hill for the winners.
At the plate, A.J. Newby and Nick Viola both went 2-for-2 with a pair of runs batted in apiece while Jake Sween and Dave Campbell both added doubles and Adam Tricomo an RBI single.
In Saturday's first game, Post 84 wrapped up the crown by registering a 12-5 win as Mason had a big game with a double and home run and a pair of runs batted in.
Also having a hand in the victory were Viola, who rapped a two-run double, Jake Jarman with a RBI double and James Harris with a hit and two runs driven in.
Viola picked up the win with four innings of work before Sween tossed the last three innings for the save.
Post 84 dropped the third game of the series, 7-5, despite seven strong innings on the mound from Harris. Swinging big sticks for Auburn were Mason and Viola, each with 2-for-2 games and two runs batted in. Newby added a 2-for-3 outing while Tricomo was 1-for-1.

The catch-all name for the largest unbroken stretch of sand on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic seems like the start of an endless, palm-lined tropical paradise of fine sand and sparkling blue water.
The water stays fairly shallow for 50 yards or so offshore, making the beach here suitable for swimmers of all levels of experience. Maintenance of the beach is outstanding, making the sand as clean as anywhere in the Caribbean.
Individual areas range from busy and high-traffic to secluded and blissfully quiet. There are many concessions available for food and drink and recreational equipment. The beach area has a strong Mediterranean feel, with many white-washed buildings and tile roofs.
For all the commercial activity just a short distance away, pockets of the beach can feel secluded and blissfully private.

Nokia Ready For Rapid Innovation Despite Lumia Loss
NOK ) shares are on a tear lately, largely because Microsoft ( MSFT ) is buying its handset division and signing a long term licensing agreement with the company. But there is still quite some time before the Lumia smartphone will be wholly run by Microsoft.[Read more from Kapitall: Microsoft Follows Purchase of Nokia Smartphones with Lumia Price Cut] In the interim, Nokia is continuing to demonstrate it has a rapid innovation cycle. There are hints the company will keep diversifying into 2014, when it is no longer in the handset business. More to share Nokia posted a teaser on its Twitter account, tweeting "At Nokia, we never stop innovating. More to share on October 22," and included this image: Even after successive releases of Lumia devices - from the budget Lumia 500 to the mid-range 700 series and all the way to the Lumia 1000 - Nokia is still promising to innovate further. And their product releases have helped solidify market share for the Windows Phone, including third place among mobile operating systems as of this past summer. Room for growth Nokia is already up significantly this year, but is there more room for upside? Click on the interactive chart to see data over time. Sourced from Zacks Investment Research. Phablet Contrary to a report from Reuters , Nokia could announce the Phablet, a Lumia 1520, at the October 22 event. It is also possible that an RT tablet could be announced. Either would be a good push for Microsoft's mobile efforts. Competition is stiff. The tablet market is filled with devices costing less than $300. Any tablet announcement would benefit from Nokia releasing a device that is comparably low. Otherwise, the "innovation" might be met with weak sales.Chris Lau, Kapitall: Nokia is saying goodbye to the Lumia smartphone line, but they're already tweeting about what's next. Nokia (

If there is one thing I was not ready for upon entering the realm of motherhood, it was the daily confrontation with my big fat flaws. Man, I cannot get away from myself.
It's so much easier to deny your flaws when you're young and single.
But here I am, 40-something wife and mother of two daughters, 5 and 9, still noticing some rather surprising things about myself. Some of them make me more proud than others.
Some parts of my personality, like my tendency to laugh at anything and everything remotely silly, including poop jokes, have worked well for me. My kids think I'm fun, sometimes.
Other things, like my love of being alone, don't help much at all with parenting. And then there is my tendency to lash out, get easily irritable, frustrated, and overly dramatic when I'm feeling afraid, insecure, hungry, or just plain tired. That's an ongoing problem.
I don't know what would make any of us think that we could just leave all our baggage at the door of parenthood and walk away a competent, self-assured, uncomplicated individual.
But we do, don't we. And it's so not the way it really is.
I don't always feel patient with myself or others. I don't always feel charitable and like soothing my children's feelings. In fact, sometimes I feel like running away,just so I can be alone with my own miserable self, not having to be made even more miserable by the guilt that comes with being miserable in the face of your beautiful children. Anyone following this?
Good. Because what I'm trying to say, and I've said this before in so many words, is, I can think about a lot of scenarios in my life that have boosted my confidence. And motherhood just isn't one of them. At least not today.
Not to say that being a mom hasn't helped me evolve. Not to say that I regret doing it. My kids are a bright spot, sometimes blindingly so,in my world. But they also challenge me to the core. And I am often left feeling as if, damn, I could have handled that better, again and again and again.
How about you? If you had to choose one, would you say being a mom, in general, is your strength or your weakness? Do you have to build yourself up daily, or does being a parent do it for you?
Here's a quiz about positive parenting, if you want to see how you measure up.

|Iowa Natural Resource Educators Attend National Conference in St. Paul Davenport, Iowa

|Written by Ron Summers
|Thursday, 03 November 2011 15:08
Environmental educators, naturalists and park interpreters from across the country gathered in St. Paul, Minnesota, November 8–12 for the National Association of Interpretation Workshop.
Concurrent session topics ranged from how to utilize "apps" to promote recreation opportunities by iPhone users to nature-based activities for pre-schoolers. "I was able to attend a number of sessions during the workshop," noted Mr Wolf. "Thanks to a REAP Conservation Education Program/Iowa Association of Naturalists Scholarship, I was able to benefit from experiences and ideas of the presenters and other workshop attendees from across the U.S. and Canada.

This is the fourth in a series of blog posts I'm doing on ASP.NET vNext. The next releases of .NET and Visual Studio include a ton of great new features and capabilities. With ASP.NET vNext you'll see a bunch of really nice improvements with both Web Forms and MVC – as well as in the core ASP.NET base foundation that both are built upon. Today's post is the second of three posts that talk about the new Model Binding support coming to Web Forms. Model Binding is an extension of the existing data-binding system in ASP.NET Web
Forms, and provides a code-focused data-access paradigm. It takes advantage of a bunch of model binding concepts we first introduced with ASP.NET MVC – and integrates them nicely with the Web Forms server control model. In my first Model Binding post I discussed the basics of selecting data. In today's post, we're going to look at how we can filter selected data based on user input, while maintaining a code focused approach to data-access. I'll show how to do this filtering using both querystring input, as well as from a value in a dropdownlist server control. ...(Read whole news on source site)

Crowdfunding Project Gamesplanet Lab Debuts First Game
You'd have to be living under a rock these days to be unfamiliar with Kickstarter, the online crowdfunding service that's churning out games left and right. You'd be forgiven, though, for not having heard of the Gamesplanet Lab, a specialized online service that brings together digital distribution, crowdfunding (provided by Ulule), and a variety of indie developers. Projects are carefully handpicked to ensure quality, and collaboration between the three companies continues throughout the entire process of making and selling a game.
Today, the Lab went live with its first project, Magrunner: Dark Pulse, "an action-adventure mashup of Lovecraftian Horror and a cyberpunk future." Developed by 3AM Games, which is comprised of former Frogwares employees, the game wears its influences (i.e. Portal) on its sleeve, though that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Check out the official page to learn more about the game and to see the Gamesplanet Lab's slick-looking website in action. The European company provides an interesting spin on the Kickstarter formula, and the Lab might be able to nurture some interesting games that would have perished without it.

Camp Granada : Sing-Along Camp Songs
Baker & Taylor
Enhanced with camp-song favorites such as "Rise and Shine" and "Kum Ba Yah", a compendium tells of the exciting times shared during a camping trip filled with mosquitoes, camp fires, walking trails, and not-so-tasty meals. 17,500 first printing.
Baker & Taylor
Presents the lyrics for an assortment of popular camp songs, such as "Rise and Shine," "The Peanut Song," "Do Your Ears Hang Low," "This Land Is Your Land," and "Kum Ba Yah."
McMillan Palgrave
A compendium of favorite camp songs for all ages to enjoy.
Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh,
Here I am at Camp Granada.
Camp is very entertaining.
And they say we'll have some fun
if it stops raining.
The mosquitoes are out and biting, the rain's coming down in buckets, and there's poison ivy on the trail. We're a long way from home and the food here stinks!
Camp wouldn't be camp without troubles to share. But there are also new friends to make, adventurous trails to be climbed, and toasty evenings by the fire to enjoy (not to mention a fair bit of silliness).
Classic camp-song favorites--from "Rise and Shine" and "Found a Peanut" to "Kum Ba Yah"--and vibrant, folksy illustrations make this offering a musical walk through the campgrounds for generations to treasure.

I've always felt a fundamental disconnect with people who say if they could, they would just pop a pill in lieu of a meal. It's not a matter of food snobbery or that they're not meeting my level of food fetishism; it's that they're openly disdaining the act of eating.
In its platonic ideal, eating should be an a act of joy, a delight to the senses, a catalyst for community and nourishment for the mind, body and soul. It doesn't have to be elaborate or expensive, and I am, without a doubt, grateful for every mouthful.
Still – if I could have popped some manner of space-age meal capsule instead of bolting down cotton-crusted, elastic-topped, charm-free cheese pizza while sprinting to catch the red-eye out of Vegas the other night, I would have done so gratefully.
I call it "maintenance food" – the quick, joyless meals you eat on your way somewhere, so you don't pass out at the wheel, the grim turkey sandwich at your desk, just about any food from a hospital or airport vending machine. I curse myself for not having had the forethought to feed myself more interestingly, and due to time, locale or cash restraints must gobble down food that's just...there.

Annual Orchids & Onions review of good and bad design reflects continued public engagement
"Fallen Star," the UC San Diego art installation atop an engineering building, won the Grand Orchid on Thursday at the San Diego Architectural Foundation's annual Orchids & Onions review of local good and bad design.
The Grand Onion went to San Diego City Hall's emergency generator at First Avenue and C Street.
The contest, established in the mid-1970s, draws from public nominations for good and bad examples of architecture, landscape architecture, historic preservation, interior design and other facets of the built environment. The results were announced at a gala presentation at the San Diego Museum of Art.
A seven-member jury said "Fallen Star," by Do Ho Suh for the campus' Stuart Collection, was "nothing short of brilliant" because the house, perched atop a "horrible, mundane" building on the Warren College campus, elevates the site to a place of wonder.
"It pulls people into a discussion of 'why?' and spans the dialog from ordinary to esoteric," the jury said, and made it members "smile."
The jury said the generator was judged the "largest and stinkiest onion" in this year's crop because it "shows a complete lack of sensitivity or design aesthetic."
Pauly De Bartolo, co-chairman of the O&O Committee, said the message from the city seemed to be it's OK to put such a piece of unadorned equipment in a prominent public right of way, when city planners would never approve such a thing proposed by a developer.
"Essentially, there was a sense of hypocrisy," De Bartolo said.
Along with 15 Orchids and six Onions, People's Choice selections also were announced.
Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens at Liberty Station in Point Loma was the popular Orchid choice in a "landslide victory" in which 1,500 online votes were cast, De Bartolo said, calling the restaurant "very appealing and embraced by the public."
The public's Onion went to a bus stop on Villa La Jolla Drive, commissioned by the San Diego Association of Governments. One comment from the public described it as "over-designed, over-engineered and inappropriate for a residential neighborhood." The large steel frame around the seating does not welcome the public, De Bartolo said, and repels the public more than most architecture because it's something they use and see every day.

Cubs Record By Month
|chicagochick510 on Cubs Use Mark Bellhorn On Season Ticket
|NormR on Listen to Vin Scully call Cubs vs. Dodgers game from 1957
|Johnny cash on Cubs On Wrong End of Ian Stewart For Tyler Colvin Trade
|bullpenbrian on Chicago Cubs 2013 Opening Day Lineup vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
|jdgershbein on Chicago Cubs 2013 Opening Day Lineup vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
What do the Cubs, with the worst record in MLB, gain by sitting Bryan LaHair vs. left-handed pitching?
The Cubs are (4-17) against southpaws. Their .221 avg. against left-handers ranks 15/16 in the National League.
Jeff Baker, who often serves as LaHair's replacement against lefties, is hitting .228, 1 HR & 5 RBI against left-handers–not exactly tearing it up.
LaHair's not hitting left-handed pitching any better (.086, 1 HR & 1 RBI), and he never will without an opportunity to prove otherwise.
Post updated June 30 to include Paul Maholm's walk issued against opposing pitcher Bud Norris yesterday afternoon. Ahh!
I've had it watching the Cubs staff walk the opposing pitchers.
It happened three times during the Mets series: once by Randy Wells on Tuesday and twice by Jeff Samardzija on Wednesday. Paul Maholm joined the party Friday afternoon against Houston walking opposing pitcher Bud Norris.
The Cubs have walked an opposing pitcher nine times this season. NINE TIMES!
That's the second worst mark in the majors only behind the Braves, who've issued 10 free passes to opposing pitchers.
Atlanta, however, actually has a run-scoring offense and a record 5-games above .500. In theory, they can overcome such a bone-headed mistake.
But when you're the Cubs, where run support appears a foreign language to the lineup, walking an opposing pitcher is intolerable.
The only positive I could draw upon while walking away from Wrigley Field Wednesday afternoon was the nice weather–87-degrees and sunny.
I mean, what positives are there after a 17-1 drubbing against the Mets? Here's the short answer: there are none.
The real kicker, however, was the Cubs lone run scored despite a continuous breeze blowing straight out to centerfield. That's unheard of under such conditions.
Everyone knows the first order of business upon entering Wrigley is checking the centerfield flags–then comes the Vienna beef hot dogs and Old Style.
For once the Cubs actually had a timely win.
Not the kind with huge implications in the win/loss column, those are nice too, but the kind of victory that feels right in the moment.
A timely victory entails winning on Opening Day, winning on national television, winning the cross-town series, winning when the lights are brightest.
It's the keen awareness to understand that big moment or special occasion and deliver the best possible gift any fan in attendance could hope for—seeing the home team win.
It's been awhile since that's happened on the North Side, which is why a 5-3 win against the Mets was just what the organization and its fans needed on the evening Anthony Rizzo made his Cubs debut.
It was something to root for, something exciting, a reminder of what Cubs baseball should truly be all about: good times, good memories–a good win.
Travis Wood's faced three-straight former Cy Young Award winners.
For good measure, you can make it four former Cy Youngs he's faced in his last five trips to the mound: Barry Zito ('02), Justin Verlander ('11), Jake Peavy ('07) & Johan Santana ('04-'06).
I mean, talk about your run of tough luck!
Yet Wood's pitched exceptionally well posting a quality start in all four outings, including two wins with hardly any run support.
I've offered to host a hot-debate between two @BullpenBrian Twitter followers.
The matter at hand is whether or not Jim Hendry should have traded 5-prospects for Matt Garza on January 8, 2011. (Hak-Ju Lee, Chris Archer, Robinson Chirinos, Sam Fuld & Brandon Guyer).
Below is a summary of each case. Please vote to determine the winner. May the best case win.
Court's now in session:
My head could explode from the Cubs' lack of execution in the Arizona series.
Chicago played like a team expecting to lose, as they did, getting swept in three straight games while being outscored 21-7.
The Cubs failed on countless occasions to manufacture runs. They didn't move runners over, they didn't hit with RISP (3-for-25) and the biggest clutch hit came off the bat of Paul Maholm–a pitcher for heaven's sake.
The fielding was nearly as poor. The pitching, not much better. It was Quade-ball all over again. It was embarrassing.
If there was any drive to win, any want from this team, it didn't show collectively the past three games–and that's a problem.

Billy Peaden with Peaden's Gill tells WITN7 News he had a lottery winner Wednesday night. He says Donnie Foskie hit four white balls in the Powerball which pays out 10,000, but he had the multiplier which was five. So he wins $50,000 dollars. He's pretty excited as you can imagine. He claimed his winnings at the Greenville lottery office Thursday morning. He walked away with about $33,000 after taxes.

TransitChek® Marks 25th Anniversary Of Commuter Benefits
SAN MATEO, Calif., June 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- WageWorks Inc. (NYSE: WAGE), a leading on-demand provider of tax-advantaged programs for consumer-directed health, commuter and other employee spending account benefits and proud provider of TransitChek® commuter benefits, today commemorated the 25 th anniversary of TransitChek, the nation's first commuter benefits program. Originally launched in 1987 as a $15 tax-free monthly fringe benefit, the employer-provided, federal tax benefit has since expanded and evolved.According to the 2010 TransitCenter, Inc. Commuter Benefit Impact Survey, the commuter benefit is one of the "Core Four" most commonly offered benefits (health, retirement, disability and commuter) by employers. Based on industry figures, the benefit has been adopted by more than 10,000 employers and is used by an estimated 2.7 million employees nationwide. The growing popularity of the benefit has been driven primarily by the substantial savings the program yields for both participants and their employers. IRS allowable amounts for transit and parking are exempt from withholding and payment of payroll taxes by the employer. These benefit amounts are also excluded from the employee's gross income for federal tax purposes and from state and local taxes in most states. "The providers of TransitChek have spent the last 25 years maximizing savings for commuters," said Dan Neuburger, President of WageWorks Commuter Services. "The commuter benefit has evolved immensely in the past quarter century and become an invaluable cost saving tool for millions of Americans and their employers. Each day, more employers are recognizing the value and importance of commuter benefits as part of a portfolio of employee spending account benefits, and we have continued to make it easier for companies to increase employee participation by integrating technology such as mobile access," he added. A Timeline of Commuting Innovation From 1987 to today, TransitChek has introduced a wave of innovations that has driven the growth of commuter benefits and made it more convenient to participate.

Saw one this year making a home underneath some sempervivums in a pot next to a sheltered wall. It was fascinating to watch this little creature tunnelling under the gravel into the gritty soil. It looked as if it was flying in on a little green magic carpet. Kept me entertained for hours!

Ijji got bought by Aeria and yeah like Jin-Roh said, they stopped developing Huxley years ago. Not too surprising considering the game was a train wreck, I remember being super hyped for such a long time and man did the game turn out really freaking poorly.
the game would have run better if it was run on an actual server, rather than relying on p2p for pvp. never played much of it but felt ok, the joys of having a bad computer, when webzen actually releases the games they said they would release years prior.
good times.

Would the seeds from my Mongolian Giant Sunflowers come true if I saved them and sowed them next year? Or would they just revert to another variety?
Im really impressed with them, they are currently 3m (10ft) tall and should be flowering very soon. They are the tall ones in the far left corner of this photo...
that's pretty impressive LF.
Only a guess but as they're a large strain of Helianthus annuus they'll still be pretty big but over the years will revert to something like the normal size
Thanks. I guess to be sure I will end up saving some, and buying another packet next year. Then I will be stuck with hundreds of them!!
the birds will be pleased
They look great!
I sowed Russian Giant last year, and in the awful wet that we had I was surprised that they even flowered, but they did - they weren't amazing, but to be honest if they'd been as big as yours we wouldn't have had room for them! The flowers were around breakfast plate size.
This year, as the last snows melted I saw some little self-sown sunflower seedlings popping up - I didn't have the heart to weed them out and sow fresh, so I let them be and kept an eye on them. They're flowering now - the biggest is about 7ft tall and the smallest about 2ft6ins. The biggest flower is the size of a small teaplate and the smallest is ........ well, quite small indeed.
So my guess is that seeds from yours will produce smaller flowers next year than you get this year - if you're saving seeds, save those from the biggest flower and obviously save the biggest fattest seeds.

NASHVILLE, Tennessee – The Texas A&M Aggies handed the No. 7 Vanderbilt Commodores their first home series loss since April 2012 capturing the rubber match of the three-game series, 8-2, Sunday afternoon at Hawkins Field.
The last time Vanderbilt dropped a home series was March 29-April 1, 2012 when South Carolina took two of three from the Commodores.
Krey Bratsen had a stellar day on offense going 3-for-3 with one walk, two doubles, two stolen bases, two runs and two RBI. Troy Stein went 2-for-4 with two runs.
The Aggies delivered the first punch in the top of the first inning. Blake Allemand led off the inning by roping a single to centerfield and moved to second when the ball was mishandled by outfielder John Norwood. A passed ball moved Allemand to third and he scored on a sacrifice fly by Cole Lankford. Jonathan Moroney followed by lofting a first-pitch offering over the 35-foot monster-like fence in leftfield for his first home run of the season and a 2-0 lead.
Texas A&M (22-15, 7-8 SEC) tacked on a run in the second. Stein started the inning by gapping a single to left-center and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt Ronnie Gideon. Rhett Wiseman made a diving catch in the right-center to rob Jace Statum of an extra-base hit, but Bratsen followed by blooping a ball down the rightfield line for an RBI double and the 3-0 advantage.
Vanderbilt (27-10, 7-8 SEC) broke the scoring seal in the home half of the third inning. John Norwood started the inning by poking a single to rightfield and single down the leftfield line by Jason Delay put runners on the corners. Dansby Swanson knocked Norwood in with a sacrifice fly to rightfield to cut the Aggie edge to 3-1.
The Aggies continued the cavalcade of runs in the top of the fourth inning. Nick Banks roped a single through the right side of the infield and with the hit-and-run on Stein bounced a single through the spot vacated by the Vanderbilt second baseman going to cover the bag putting runners on the corners. A sacrifice fly by Gideon plated Banks and Stein scurried to second on the play just sliding under the tag. Bratsen laced a double down the rightfield of the line, scoring Stein to push the margin to 5-1.
Vanderbilt took advantage of a defensive lapse to score a run in the home half of the fourth. With two outs in the frame Nolan Rogers bounced a grounder to the glove side of Allemand at second, but Lankford wandered away from first in pursuit of the ball and Aggie starting pitcher Grayson Long was unable to get to the base for the throw allowing Rogers to reach with the single. The next Vanderbilt batter made A&M pay for the miscue as Wiseman slapped a double down the rightfield line to drive in Rogers and narrow the chasm to 5-2.
The Maroon and White scored two insurance runs in the seventh. After Jace Statum drew a walk and Bratsen reached on an infield single, Vanderbilt third baseman Xavier Turner sent the throw on a sacrifice bunt by Allemand wide of first base allowing Statum to score. Bratsen scored the second run on a wild pitch and the Aggies took a 7-2 lead into the seventh inning stretch.
Bratsen helped A&M manufacture a run in the top of the ninth. The senior drew a five-pitch walk to start the inning, stole second base and moved to third with a groundout by Blake Allemand. After Logan Taylor was hit by a pitch to put runners on the corners, Lankford pushed Bratsen across with a sacrifice fly and staked the Aggies to an 8-2 lead.
Long (4-1) weaved through 7.2 innings of work, allowing two runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out four to pick up the win. Tyler Stubblefield struck out
Tyler Ferguson (5-2) was saddled with the loss for Vanderbilt. He allowed six runs, five earned, on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 6.0 innings.
Vanderbilt had four different players log two hits, including Swanson, Turner, Rogers and Delay.
Texas A&M returns to action on Wednesday when the Aggies host Abilene Christian in a 6:35 pm contest on Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.

- Abstract
- Electrospun fabrics for use in, for example, tissue engineering, wound dressings, textiles, filters and membranes have attracted a lot of attention due to their morphological nanoscale architectures which enhance their physical properties. A thorough detailed internal morphological study has been performed on electrospun polystyrene (PS) fibers produced from dimethylformamide (DMF) solutions. Investigations by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thorough studies for the first time by synchrotron based X-ray tomographic microscopy (XTM) revealed that the individual electrospun PS fibers and beads have a graded density and in some cases even an internal porous structure.

A Word in Season
Redeemed and Exalted by the Merits of Her Son
Let's examine Paul's claim in its entirety.
For there is no distinction; since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, they are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as an expiation by his blood, to be received by faith (Rom. 3:22b-25).
Paul talks specifically about all of humanity falling short and being in need of justification and redemption by the gift of grace, through the shedding of Christ's blood. The grace of God has a power to eradicate sin. (Grace and sin cannot occupy the same space. And that is how sinful folks like us may even consider this possibility of being glorified One Day in heaven.)
Further, Paul writes:
Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned . . . (Rom. 5:12).
Everyone inherits Original Sin and its consequences. How does this apply to Mary?
The Church is not saying that Mary, a human person, was not in need of redemption. No, Mary is indeed redeemed by the merits of her Son, Jesus Christ -- remarkably redeemed, in fact!
But what the Church is saying, with the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, reflecting on Luke 1:28, is that Mary received the first fruits of Christ's saving grace. Mary was redeemed by the merits of her Son Jesus at Calvary -- who is God -- at her conception.
Thus, Mary's sinless nature was like that of Eve's before the Fall.
Scripture scholars and theologians say Mary's role in salvation history was predicted all the way back in Genesis! You may recall after the Fall, as Adam and Eve lose their blessedness as punishment for their disobedience, a verse from Genesis 3 speaks of a woman to come:
I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel (Gen. 3:15).
This is what is known as the proto evangelium -- the first good news -- found and foreshadowed in the Old Testament. The future victory over the serpent (a.k.a. evil or the devil) lies in the seed of the woman . . . that seed is pre-eminently the Christ. (cf. Gal. 3:16)
Following Christ's resurrection and ascension, Paul was quick to point out this continuity to the early church.
But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman . . . (Gal. 4:4).
This is why Christian references about Mary throughout history have called her the "new Eve." And why St. Jerome (4th century) remarked: "Death through Eve, life through Mary."
From among the descendants of Eve, God chose the Virgin Mary to be the mother of his Son. "Full of grace," Mary is the most excellent fruit of redemption: from the first instant of her conception, she was totally preserved from the stain of original sin and she remained pure from all personal sin throughout her life. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 508)
Mary was the first person redeemed by Jesus by an application of the grace, from his victory over sin and death on the Cross. This requires us to think expansively -- or bigger -- beyond our own sensibilities, as it were, to consider the mysteries of God's plan for salvation.
