Paycom offering launch is delayed
Oklahoma City-based Paycom Software Inc.'s initial public offering failed to make it out of the starting gate on Friday during a rocky trading day for U.S. stocks.
Paycom CEO Chad Richison had been scheduled to ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Friday in celebration of the payroll services company's first day of trading, but was replaced at the last minute by executives from the Houston company VAALCO Energy Inc.
Paycom's stock had been set to begin trading between $18 and $20 a share on Friday. The company said in regulatory filings that it planned to raise up to $126 million by offering 6.6 million shares.
Paycom's stock had been expected to price Thursday night in anticipation of trading beginning Friday morning. The company's stock is now expected to begin trading sometime early next week.
The company said it was unable to discuss the stock offering on Friday because it was still in a pre-IPO quiet period.
In a regulatory filing Friday, Paycom reported that it expected a net profit of between $300,000 and $1.5 million for the first quarter of the year, down from $5.5 million for the same period a year ago — a 95 percent to 75 percent decrease.
The company said in the filing that the decrease in profits was primarily due to "growth investments," including sales commissions, new office openings, hiring new staff and reorganization expenses in connection with its planned public offering.
However, Paycom also said in the filing that its annual recurring revenues are growing rapidly by expanding its services to existing customers and the addition of new clients. The company said it anticipates between $12 million and $13 million in new annual recurring revenue in the first quarter of the year, compared to new annual recurring revenue of $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 — a 25 percent to 35 percent increase.
Stocks closed sharply lower across the board on Friday, after a continuing sell-off in the tech sector.
Edmond Money Manager Greg Womack said chilly market conditions could have factored into Paycom's delayed IPO.
"You do want to enter the stage on your best footing with an IPO," said Womack, of Womack Investment Advisers Inc.
Volatility in the markets is one reason a company might decide to hold off for a few days on an IPO, said Jake Dollarhide, CEO of Longbow Asset Management in Tulsa.
Several companies with IPOs this week debuted to disapointing results, including the auto loan company Ally Financial, which closed down 4 percent on its first day of trading Thursday. The hotel chain La Quinta's debut on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday was also met with a lukewarm reception from investors, closing just 1 percent higher than the reduced IPO price of $18 per share.
"It was a tough week for the majority of IPOs that went public this week, so it would not be a total shock for a company to see what happened this week and say 'maybe we should wait a few days and let the dust settle,'" Dollarhide said.

The Pantex Plant's work force should remain busy in the coming years as the facility dismantles larger numbers of nuclear weapons and continues refurbishing older warheads, a top National Nuclear Security Administration official said Friday.
Pantex, located about 17 miles northeast of Amarillo, assembles and dismantles all U.S. nuclear weapons.
NNSA Deputy Administrator Robert Smolen visited Pantex Friday to tout the department's completion of a program to refurbish the B61 strategic nuclear bomb.
"This is the only place where we do dismantlements. We continue to do those dismantlements, and we have a fairly substantial backlog that will take us many years to work our way through," Smolen said of Pantex's future workload. "I do not suspect there will be any appreciable reductions in Pantex's role in what we are doing in the complex."
Smolen told reporters that Pantex and other weapons sites just finished a $395 million program to modernize two versions of the B61. According to information from NNSA, the modernization program was completed about a year ahead of schedule, and will extend the stockpile lifetimes of both the B61 mod 7 and mod 11 strategic bombs.
Most U.S. nuclear weapons were build 30 to 40 years ago, and no new weapons have been produced since the end of the Cold War.
The first B61 was produced in 1969, and the newer versions are designed to be carried on B-52 and B-2A bombers.
Smolen, who is leaving the agency, said the Obama administration will review the department's new plan to rebuild and downsize the nation's complex of weapons production sites and laboratories.
The plan, unveiled last month, includes three new Pantex facilities: an underground plutonium-storage complex, new high-explosives pressing operations and a $172 million weapons-surveillance facility where warheads and bombs can be monitored for signs of aging.
"Part of what the new administration is looking at is a host of programs where they are able to infuse money to do infrastructure-kinds of kinds of improvements," Smolen said. "We have a whole host of things that are ready to be built if we get the funding for it."

Reduce Snoring No comments yet
Snoring is a condition that occurs when breathing during sleep causes the tissues of the throat to vibrate and make noise. The noise of snoring is often guttural, loud and unpleasant. Snoring is a common condition in adults and can occur occasionally or be chronic. Although snoring is not considered a serious medical condition, it can lead to some undesirable side effects.
- Short term effect of this condition can contribute to fatigue and morning tiredness. Then it can lead to lowering of safety especially for the driver or certain activity.
- Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing patterns become irregular, often with long pauses taken between breaths. Sleep apnea caused by snoring is known as obstructive sleep apnea, which occurs when the muscles of the throat relax and the air way closes while breathing in. This can cause sudden waking as the brain realizes it is not being supplied adequate oxygen.
- In long term other dangerous diseases may appear such as hypertension, stroke, and heart disease. Statistically, when large numbers of snorers are examined there would appear to be an increased risk of high blood pressure and the complications of this.
Tips for reducing snoring:
- Lose weight if you are overweight.
- Cut down or eliminate alcohol.
- Quit smoking. If you smoke, your chances of snoring are high. Smoking causes airways to be blocked by irritating the membranes in the nose and throat.
- Clear nasal passages. Having a stuffy nose makes inhalation difficult and creates a vacuum in your throat, which in turn leads to snoring. You can do it naturally with a Neti pot or try nasal decongestants or nasal strips to help you breathe more easily while sleeping.
- Try raising your head by putting pillows under it.
- Blow your nose before going to bed.
- Sleep posture. Sleeping flat on your back causes the flesh of your throat to relax and block the airway.
- Take Snore Zip – homeopathic oral spray designed to help alleviate the signs and symptoms that might be leading to you to snore

- —Balrog (Street Fighter IV series)
Balrog, known as M. Bison (マイク・バイソン Maiku Baison?) in Japan, is a character from the Street Fighter series. He first appeared as a boss character in Street Fighter II.
Balrog is a tall, heavily built and very muscular African American boxer. He wears blue boxing trunks with white trim and a torn white shirt under a blue tank top. He wears red boxing gloves and boxing shoes. His hairstyle consists of short hair in what appears to be wide cornrows; this hairstyle is similar to Mike Tyson's haircuts from the time Street Fighter II was released (February 6, 1991). Official artworks at the time also depicted him sans a canine tooth in the upper right side of his mouth.
In Street Fighter V, Balrog wears a blue openly hooded robe with yellow outlines and ripped sleeves, the outline on his boxing gloves are black with gold star designs.
Name changeEdit
When Street Fighter II was localized in the United States, Capcom was afraid of a lawsuit from Mike Tyson over a character with his likeness and a similar sounding name (his Japanese name being Mike Bison). Additionally, when the designers presented the game to Capcom USA's marketing department, they believed that the name Vega was a weakling's name. They decided to rotate the names of three of the four boss characters in the following manner:
- The boxer is known as M. Bison in Japan and Balrog in the U.S.
- The Spanish assassin/bullfighter is known as Balrog in Japan and Vega in the U.S.
- The evil dictator and head of Shadaloo is known as Vega in Japan and M. Bison in the U.S.
In certain illustrations, including ones for the Street Fighter II series, his Japanese name, "Bison", can be seen on the waistband of his trunks, although it is usually removed when these illustrations are published outside Japan. In later games, the word "Champion" appears in its place. Many of his moves retain their bison/buffalo theme.
Balrog is generally self-centered, hot-tempered, arrogant and sadistic. He is a belligerent pugilist who possesses an insatiable urge for money and a vicious, bullying mean streak, often refusing to take responsibility for his actions. Despite being a once great prize boxer, Balrog has intentionally cheated in his fights whenever he felt like it, and has even killed one of his opponents (though by accident).
Balrog is also shown to be somewhat unintelligent; when M. Bison was believed to be dead after the events of Street Fighter Alpha 3, the role of leader of the organization fell to him, and it collapsed immediately (obviously due to his poor intelligence and complete lack of management skills), which forced him to work security at casinos and other places just to get by.
His motivations for joining Shadaloo and M. Bison throughout the Street Fighter series have always been to attain massive wealth, fame and glory so he can be on easy street for life. As such, though Balrog would cheat, steal or even kill to this end, he is not evil so much as he is greedy, and takes little substantial interest in Shadaloo affairs otherwise; he also relates to characters with similar motivations (e.g. C. Viper).
Balrog also displays an extreme affinity for women, with Chun-Li being the only exception. He also greatly despises Vega (his occasional partner as an assassin working for Bison) due to his "pretty boy" persona and tends to annoy, tease and make fun of him whenever he gets the chance.
Rising from a childhood of poverty,[5] Balrog was once a great boxing champion and prize fighter. He was banned from boxing for permanently injuring his opponents and accidentally killing one (as well as his illegal maneuvers, particularly his headbutt), so he joined the Shadaloo criminal organization, and worked his way up from the bottom, eventually becoming M. Bison's chief enforcer.
Street Fighter Alpha 3Edit
- "Balrog is the former heavyweight boxing champion. This Shadaloo executive worked his way up from the lower ranks. Armed with the world's strongest punches, his ambition continues."
- —Balrog's profile in Street Fighter Alpha 3
While running errands for Bison, he killed Dhalsim's elephant with a single Gigaton Punch. In one mission, Balrog was sent to terminate Birdie. Although he did not know why, Balrog went anyway. Birdie told him about the Psycho Drive, and Balrog agreed to help him find it, thinking he could make money from it. When the Psycho Drive exploded, Balrog realized that he had not been paid recently.
Super Street Fighter II TurboEdit
When Bison was killed at the hands of Akuma, ownership of Shadaloo was transferred to the former prize fighter. Unfortunately, he ended up running the entire organization into the ground in no time. After the fall of Shadaloo, Balrog was back on the streets, working menial jobs (such as casino security, as seen in his Street Fighter IV intro cutscene).
Super Street Fighter IV Edit
When Bison makes his return with the construction of his new body, Balrog is immediately brought back into the organization, hired by Bison to guard Bison's replacement bodies, which Balrog refers to as "dolls". Balrog is not satisfied with this, however, and forms a new get-rich-quick scheme. He manages to make his way into the S.I.N. building (along with fellow agent Vega).
While looking for treasure in his ending (possibly anything he could sell), he stumbles across a young bandaged boy begging for help. Initially disinterested, Balrog notices a mark in the shape of the Shadaloo symbol glowing on his hand. Realizing the boy could hold some valuable secrets, Balrog pulls him out of the ruins, believing he's finally lucked out.
However, when Balrog asks what the boy can do, he reveal that he is powerless on his own; though Balrog assumes he's useless, he carries the boy off anyway. Balrog is convinced that the child will be of use to him later, and owes his as much in return for rescuing him.[6]
Street Fighter V Edit
On October 2015, a datamining of Street Fighter V's PC beta test revealed fighter data and character meshes of "Boxer", later revealed to be refering to Balrog, along with six other fighters (Dhalsim, Juri, Urien, Ibuki, Alex and Guile).[7][8] Balrog and the rest of the characters (except for Dhalsim who was confirmed earlier as a default fighter) were later officially confirmed as DLC on December 5th, 2015 at the PlayStation Experience.
Balrog makes a non-speaking cameo in M. Bison's prologue story. He is shown attending a Shadaloo meeting on the status of the Dolls.
Crossover appearancesEdit
Capcom vs. SNK gamesEdit
Balrog appeared playable in Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000, Capcom vs. SNK 2 and SVC Chaos.
Street Fighter X TekkenEdit
In Street Fighter X Tekken, Balrog is sent alongside Vega to retrieve Pandora. The two despise each other, but continue to work as a team, if only in order to obtain Pandora for themselves. Their rivals are Yoshimitsu and Raven, who ambush them during their travels.
Balrog and Vega's ending depicts Balrog attempting to open the box, but the former prize fighter tires of his co-worker's vanity and decides to kill Vega instead for sole possession of the box. Both are taken over by the influence of Pandora, and proceed to attack each other.
After the credits roll, a post-ending shows Balrog's fate.
If the player defeated Ogre with Balrog, he wins the fight and kills Vega, obtaining Pandora for himself. Balrog then uses its powers to finish off his enemies, starting with his former boss M. Bison.
If the player defeated Ogre with Vega, Balrog loses the fight against Vega and is killed.
Live-action moviesEdit
Street Fighter 1994 filmEdit
In the 1994 live action film, he was portrayed by Grand L. Bush and was one of the good guys, more specifically the camera-man in Chun-Li's news-crew. Like the other members (Chun-Li and E. Honda), Balrog held a grudge against Shadaloo for ruining his boxing career. Near the end of the film, he dons his regular outfit from the games.
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-LiEdit
In the film Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, Balrog is portrayed by Michael Clarke Duncan. His role in Shadaloo remains unchanged, being one of Bison's loyal enforcers alongside Vega.
Street Fighter II: The Animated MovieEdit
In Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, Balrog is portrayed close to his original role in the games, which is largely as dumb-muscle for Bison. Interestingly enough, he does not don his boxing gloves when he fights E. Honda. He is voiced by Joe Romersa in the English dub and Joji Nakata in the Japanese version. He first appears in the series as a representative Shadaloo at a criminal convention in Las Vegas, where he watches a battle between Zangief and Blanka. Later, he accompanies M. Bison to Thailand for the final showdown. While Bison battles Guile and a brainwashed Ken battles Ryu, Balrog battles E. Honda.
Though Balrog has the upper hand initially, repeatedly punching and head butting Honda in quick succession, Honda strikes back with a head butt of his own. The two charge at each other and the impact of their collision causes both of them to hurtle off a cliff side. The rest of their fight is not shown; Honda defeats Balrog, and is seen carrying his unconscious body up the mountainside following Bison's defeat.
Street Fighter 1995 cartoon seriesEdit
In the 1995 animated series, Street Fighter, Balrog is not only a boxer but also a scientist (in contrary to his trademark "brainless muscle" stereotype) who programmes Shadaloo computers for M. Bison, with his storyline intact. Even though the series follows the movie, Balrog and Dee Jay's personalities seem to have been switched during production. He is voiced by Paul Dobson.
Street Fighter II VEdit
In the anime series Street Fighter II V, Balrog, despite not being a boxer, still works for Shadaloo as a spy with the task of infiltrating the police forces in charge of investigating and foiling Shadaloo's criminal activities and reporting such operations directly to M. Bison, while posing aside the law officers as a legitimate Interpol executive. Using this disguise, he tricks Cammy - who in the series works as a mercenary assassin and has no relation with Shadaloo - into assassinating federal Hong Kong police officer Dorai after telling her that he is the supposed drug lord in Chinese branch of Shadaloo's drug route - but Do Rai survives later on, despite his heavy injuries. After fighting Fei Long (who was protecting the still-alive Do Rai), Cammy realizes she has been deceived by Balrog and attacks him the same way she did to Do Rai, but without killing him. Cammy then quits the job and hands the badly mauled Balrog down to Fei Long.
Street Fighter IV: The Ties That BindEdit
He makes a cameo appearance in Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind, sitting inside of the Shadaloo Aircraft that Seth escapes into at the end of the movie. He doesn't have any lines.
Comics and mangaEdit
Others Edit
Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game Edit
In Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game, it is stated that Mr. Ray has been Balrog's manager from his pro-boxing days to his time with the Street Fighter Circuit. Also, Balrog is training Samson Jr., the son of an old friend from the streets.[9]
Fan film Edit
Balrog is the focus of the short documentary fan film, Balrog: Behind the Glory, which debuted on Evolution 2011 Championships. The short film was produced by Chubby Boy Films.
The film depicts the brief history of Balrog, his childhood story of being bullied and fighting against the bullies, his training from his father who also once boxed, his winning success in his boxing career and popularity in the media, his marriage and divorce with a supermodel, how he was being taken advantage of managers and business due to his greed, his controversial headbutt that killed a boxer, thus resulting into a disqualification-ban in boxing and arrest, his path into Mad Gear and Shadaloo, his name switch from Mike Bison to Balrog, and what has happened to him afterwards. The documentary interviewed Balrog's father Greg Bison, a book author Micah Shultz who wrote about the rise and fall of Shadaloo, and former Trainer Tim Tashun.
Gameplay and fighting styleEdit
A strong but unskilled boxer, Balrog relies on punching speed and raw strength, giving him strong normal attacks. The majority of his moveset is composed of several variations of dashing punches, including his Super Combos. There is, however, a certain amount of versatility to his moveset; among his punches are uppercuts, smash blows, and overhead swings, which can keep the opponent guessing if used well.
As boxers, he and Dudley are the only characters in the Street Fighter series whose movesets are almost entirely comprised of arm-based moves (punches, elbows etc.); their polar opposite is Elena, whose moveset (excluding grabs) consists solely of leg-based moves (kicks, knees etc.). Balrog will also resort to moves considered illegal in boxing whenever he sees fit. His moveset usually includes a headbutt, and during his second Ultra Combo in Super Street Fighter IV, he grabs and headbutts the opponent, then stomps on their foot - the only time he uses his foot at all in the games - and finally nails them with an elbow shot.
- See Balrog/Quotes.
Pop Culture Edit
Stage themeEdit
- It was speculated that Balrog may have been the African American boxer Mike, one of the NPC opponents in the original 1987 game due to their similar appearance and movesets in addition to Balrog's name being Mike Bison in Japan. Capcom however, has always been insistent that they were meant to be two different characters. The Street Fighter World Warrior Encyclopedia (hardcover version) also lists them as seperate individuals[2] as does the Japanese Street Fighter V website, which has a separate character page for Mike with redesigned artwork for him.[10]
- In Street Fighter IV, in one of the African stages (Small Airfield), there is a black S.I.N. plane and Balrog can be seen in the door of the plane (he will rudely open the door with a punch). If Balrog is selected, Vega will be in the plane instead. If Balrog and Vega are selected, M. Bison himself appears in the plane.
- Unlike most characters, Balrog does not have any Unique Attacks.
- Balrog is shown with all his teeth in the Street Fighter IV sub-series, while in the past games, he has a missing canine tooth on the upper right side of his mouth.
- Balrog is the only one of the four bosses from Street Fighter II that does not appear in the Street Fighter EX games.
- Balrog's win quote from Street Fighter II through Hyper Fighting is written incorrectly ("My fists have your blood of them!"). This is corrected in Super Street Fighter II and onwards ("My fists have your blood on them!"). The SNES versions of Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting and Super Street Fighter II replaced this quote with "Get up, you wimp!", more likely due to Nintendo of America's strict policy of censorship at the time.
- Balrog has had amusingly bad facial expressions and animations in several of his appearances. This is most apparent in his fight against E. Honda near the end of Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie and in the games when Balrog gets hit, his eyes constantly look in different directions of one another. Interestingly enough, when fighting E. Honda in the movie, he doesn't wear his boxing gloves.
- In the manga Ryu Final, it is said that after Shadaloo was destroyed and Gill established himself, Balrog went into the wrestling world.
- Balrog is the only Shadaloo member who has always been shown working for the organization in its varied representations. Sagat left Shadaloo after the events of Street Fighter II. In the animated series, Zangief left Shadaloo after the events of that show. Vega worked for Sagat in his underground fighting club in the live-action film and Seth wants to take over Shadaloo.
- In Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, Balrog is shown to be much older than Chun-Li while his offical birth date has him being only six months and three days younger than Chun-Li.
- It is speculated that the bandaged boy in Balrog's Super Street Fighter IV ending and Ed, a boy who appears in Nash's Street Fighter V prologue story, are the same person as they both have a Shadaloo-shaped symbol on their hands.

Also, one cup cheese /garlic croutons, and subbed a cup of cooked noodles for the other cup of croutons.did everything else the same though. My picture should be up soon and the 3rd one check it out. It was delicious , made a lot too. Froze half of it, since there is only two of us. Mine was 5 stars.

Scottie, Hate to be gloomy, but the crosshead slots do wear out on pan headed screws, & are hard to tighten properly. A set of stainless allen heads are nice & won't wear that way. BUT there is a chance the threads into the Aluminum are wallowed loose & allowing the screws to come out. guess this should be determined before you buy new screws. I hope it's not that, a big pain to tap new threads. Perhaps a mild thread locking product would help (blue Loctite?) good luck.
Damn.Stock battery? Time to change it
Yep, officially 56 years old this year. Maybe I'll just buy some metric stainless screws and retap them.Scottie

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Review: Apple's iWork brings simplicity to docs
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Microsoft's Office is the go-to software package for creating and sharing documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Google's Docs has emerged as a good, free alternative for lightweight tasks. But what's often overlooked is Apple's iWork.
Last fall, the iWork applications for the Mac —Pages for word processing, Numbers for spreadsheets and Keynote for presentations— got their first major update since 2009 and now work better with iPhone and iPad versions. Apple also developed an online version that can work on Windows computers and let several people collaborate on a single document more easily.
Apple's iWork won't replace Office, and Google Docs is better in some ways. But after using iWork for a few months, I've come to appreciate the ways it simplifies work. It became my primary way of writing news stories at last week's Mobile World Congress wireless show in Barcelona, Spain.
The best part: iWork is free with the purchase of new Apple devices (the Mac version with new Macs and the iOS apps with new iPhones or iPads). Once you get it, you can install iWork on older devices. Otherwise, each of the three apps costs $20 for Macs and $10 for mobile devices, or $90 for everything. That's a one-time fee. To use Office on multiple devices, Microsoft charges $100 a year.
With both Office and Google Docs, you primarily deal with a toolbox of options at the top. That's where you go to change fonts or adjust line spacing. With iWork, many of those options are moved to a palette on the right, which fills in the computer's horizontal screen much better.
More importantly, those options change depending on context. For basic text, you get basic formatting options such as font and size. Insert a chart, and you can adjust the gap between columns. Drag and drop a photo onto a Pages document, and you get image-editing tools such as cropping and color adjustment.
In a sense, the available features come to you, and you're invited to explore.
With spreadsheets, the palette on the right side presents all 267 options for formulas and calculations, arranged in categories. Click on any one for a full description of what it does and how it works.
With Excel, I use no more than a half-dozen formulas, mostly because I don't know about the others or can't be bothered to figure out the syntax. With Numbers, I choose one from a list — let's say, "ROUND." I'm then shown where to enter the number to round and the number of decimal places to use.
Another neat feature: Select a column of numbers — let's say, 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42. The app will automatically calculate the results using five of the most-used formulas — such as 108 for "SUM" and 18 for "AVERAGE."
Although some options and templates are missing from iPhones and iPads, Apple does a good job of keeping the iOS apps consistent with the Mac applications. The main change: Instead of finding options to the right, you tap various buttons to access them.
In fact, many long-time iWork users have complained that Apple adapted the Mac version too much to achieve consistency with iOS. Some features, such as using files in Rich Text Format, went away. Apple promises to bring some of the features back in the coming months.
I would rather have that consistency.
With Office, the smartphone app is so bare-bones, I've hardly used it. And there's no Office app at all for iPads and Android tablets; you're limited to a Web version that requires a constant Internet connection. Microsoft wants to preserve Office as a selling point for its Windows tablets.

Quality has suddenly changed, these tissues just disintegrate. Not nice
04 December 2015
It's soft, thin, and goes into tiny granules. It's not even economical when you need a few sheets to try to stop your finger going through it. Bought as an experiment, it will be kept to mop up tea spills.

Great! Soft on the old, er, bits and cheaper than certain other brands. Still leaves you as clean as a washed potato, though without the warty bits.
11 December 2013
It's a toilet roll
This is fine. It is the cheaper option, it does the job and it only gets thrown away. I will keep using.

Very soft, great buy
I have had no problems with this product at all unlike the other reviews, I may have been lucky but I have always found them to be extremely soft.

The Government is reforming Disability Living Allowance (DLA). DLA is an extra costs benefit, which helps disabled people to meet the extra costs they face because of their disability.
The recent Welfare Reform Act 2012 legislates for a new Personal Independence Payment (PIP) to replace DLA for those of working age from April 2013. Current DLA claimants will start to be reassessed for PIP from October 2013 to March 2016.
There will be a new assessment for PIP and most people will be expected to go to a face-to-face assessment with a healthcare practitioner to see if they are eligible for PIP.
Mencap has been campaigning to make sure that PIP and the assessment process takes into account the support needs of people with a learning disability.
Take a survey about PIP
The Government have now finalised the new assessment for PIP. We are running a survey in partnership with Disability Rights UK to look at how PIP will affect disabled people.
Mencap's version of the survey is aimed at people with a learning disability or someone completing it on behalf of someone with a learning disability. Take the survey now.
Providers delivering the PIP assessments
Mencap is a member of the Disability Benefits Consortium (DBC). The DBC has concerns about the new assessment for PIP. The assessment will be delivered by different companies in different areas, with the contracts split between Atos Healthcare, and Capita.
The DBC presented both providers with a list of ten pledges for a fair and effective assessment. Both companies have detailed how they will try to meet each pledge, revealing very different approaches to the assessment process. The different approaches have been outlined in a report by the DBC. The report also includes a number of recommendations for both providers and the government to try and ensure a fairer and more effective assessment.
The DBC recommendations include:
- that the Government make clear how they will monitor and compare the performance of both the companies carrying out the assessments
- that the Government ensure that the companies delivering the assessment are held to account if their recommendations are inappropriate due to poor assessment
- that both ATOS and Capita give their assessors high quality training on different conditions and disabilities
- that disabled claimants are provided with a copy of the assessor's report and given the opportunity to flag up anything they believe to be inaccurate.
Mencap, as part of the DBC, are calling on people to highlight key concerns to their MP, and ask for support for the DBC recommendations. Take action and send your MP an email.

Malverne Little League will unveil snack stand with restrooms
When the Malverne Little League begins another season next month, it will unveil a new concession stand, complete with restrooms, on the sidelines of Harris Field — not across a parking lot.
The new stand, according to Little League President Joe Ariola, will feature handicapped-accessible restrooms that comply with current building codes, along with a storage area to house all of the league's equipment in the off-season.
"I think the fact that having the bathrooms where the kids don't have to walk across the parking lot is a win-win for everybody," said Chris Daniels, the league's treasurer. "The Little League has been working hard to try to develop this, so it's well on its way."
Because of its nonprofit status, the league hosted fundraisers and relied on grants and the generosity of several other organizations to fund the stand's construction — even accepting a donation from State Sen. Dean Skelos of Rockville Centre.
"The Little League project is a wonderful completion to the facilities we have there, providing a more modern concession stand and also the safety and security of the children, and completes the renovations that we've done in that park over the past few years…," said Village Trustee Michael Bailey. "It's part of what we love about this small community: We have the skills and expertise of everyone working together."
Despite the harsh winter, Bailey said, the stand's construction is entering its final stages, with an expected unveiling on Opening Day, April 19. Crews are working to finish sheetrocking the building and laying tile in the restrooms, he said, and DPW Supervisor Paul Jessup inspected the site on March 6, accompanied by an electrician. While work is far from finished, Bailey added, crews are working until 9 p.m. every night to make sure the project gets done in time.
"Harris Field has gotten an awful lot of use by the teams since last season," said Village Trustee Patricia Callahan, who also serves as a member of the village's Youth Board, adding, "I think it's a great addition."

Modbus TCP/IP
This is a very simple module that uses NodeJS Streams2 to read Modbus TCP data and convert it to JSON and vice-versa.
npm install modbus-tcp
var modbus = require"modbus-tcp";var client = ;var server = ; // link client and server streams together clientwriterpipeserverreader;serverwriterpipeclientreader;// if you have a socket (stream) you can just // call client.pipe(socket) or server.pipe(socket) serveron"read-coils" return replynull 1 0 1 1 ;; // read coils from unit id = 0, from address 10 to 13 clientreadCoils0 10 13 // coils = [ 1, 0, 1, 1 ] ;
All of the following read methods have the form
method(unitId, from, to, next) and write methods have the form
method(unitId, addr, val, next), where
next is an optional function called if the server replies (with the same transactionId) to the sent message.
Addresses are exactly as is in protocol, so if you see a paper talking about address
40001 this usually means first record address of that function so it means address
This last event is triggered when an unknown function code is received.

Have you ever been to South East Asia? Here is my True Adventure from Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.JohnHarveyBlackArtsinSEA Feb 7, 2012 10:19 PM
Black Arts in South East Asia, Adventures in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia
Hello, My name is John Harvey, Author of Black Arts in South East Asia - Adventures in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
My first encounter with Thailand was so unbelievable that I desperately needed to return. I had only been sent for twelve days in order to complete a research project on Buddhist Art. Once the taste of Asia entered my mouth, I couldn't let it go. Following graduation from a small liberal art university in New York, I spent one final summer in New England before heading off on a one-way ticket to Bangkok, in search of answers to questions that I did not yet understand.
I have since learned to speak Thai, which enables all doors to open. Living in and traveling across northern Thailand, and through The Golden Triangle, has quenched many of my thirsts for adventure, sex, drugs, danger and excitement. I have subsequently made trips into rural northern Laos along the Mae Kong River, up to the Chinese border. I have spent time in Cambodia, and come to some of my own conclusions about the horrific Khmer past. I have also lived on a remote island called Kho Lipe, far off the southern Thai coast in the Andaman Sea.
Residing in South East Asia over the last seven years has opened my mind to better understand mysteries of the Far East, both the enticing and disturbing. I lived in the fast lane, and regularly pushed myself to the limits. Black Arts in South East Asia is a Non-Fiction story that captures the 21st century and my experiences in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Laos, Udon Thani, Cambodia, as well as on the beaches. Dare I say this story is not for my own grandmother, however it sheds a truthful torch of light into the dark worlds of prostitution, pimps, transvestites, killers, thieves, human trafficking and counter culture.
Black Arts in South East Asia chronicles a true-to-life adventure that can be retraced entirely, as I have not doctored the names, places, or people I have encountered along the way. For these reasons, I am confident that my non-fiction story is as up to date, authentic, and original as anything else in its genre. I believe my book has the potential to spark a new generation of travelers looking to better understand themselves and the world they pass through.
Please take a look at my story, and I am here to discuss it with you. It may not be for the squeemish.
Sincerely, John Harvey

Just a small suggestion/fix. In contact-form.view.php there are a few span's with the 'for' attribute. The for attribute should only really be on the label elements, as such it is resulting in a validation error. If you could remove the 'for' attributes from the span elements in the next update it would be muchley appreciated.
Keep up the good work! It's a fantastically useful plugin :-)

Israel: "all options open" after talks with Iran fail
When this war starts, EVERYTHING else that we lament over endlessly here on ZH will cease to matter.
It will be a very one sided war...
Gold will go down just because. The euro will go up or down depending on the weather. Stocks will go up or down depending on nothing. You can report facts but you cannot explain the charade the markets have become.
By "overhaul IPOs", they mean make it even more difficult to raise capital via the stock market. There's little wonder why equity markets have gone no where for over a decade.
Good job Larry Ellison buying Lanai - Rather have that nice island instead of a pile of fiat.
SEC Said to Depose SAC's Cohen in Insider-Trading Probe
This is a message to the financial world that the SEC still has clout and as profits increase so does the cost of security from security. At issue is porn, european porn. Currently arriving in a pleasing but slightly choppy format. Don't under estimate the potential retribution of someone power stroking along with their favorite stars and then having a buffer throw off the timing due to a bad connection. If the SEC is hooked up to the new financial cable in London, it should be smooth sailing for all again.
interesting.. Basically states that JPM has US cover to manipulate silver
How do you say, "green shoots' in Hindi?
Indian Firms Face 'Nightmare' on Dollar Debt: S&P
According to the ratings agency, half of the 48 companies in India with foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs) maturing this year, could default on their payments. FCCBs worth $5 billion are due for redemption between now and December.
Indian companies are coming under significant financial pressure as a result of weakness in the rupee, which is hampering their ability to service foreign currency debt, Standard & Poor's (S&P) warned on Thursday.
So we now know where Larry is going to hide when shit hits the fan. Hopefully he can hire sufficient guards to fend off pirates.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $7.13 (28% off)
Loved it, used for years - new formula: disaster
Posted by Reviewer2365933 on Dec 26, 2012
Used to love complete Vitamnin C line - I was happy with the quality, price, everything. New formula is disaster. Really sorry to say but I'll have to find ome other products. It makes me really sad, but new line is simply disastrous. Dear Avalon - go back to the old formula, even if it means higher prize ...
Quality product
Posted by Marie77 on Sep 21, 2012
Love this facial serum from Avalon Organics! It absorbs well, visibly firms the skin and improve circulation. I use it as a part of my night skin care regimen; I first apply hyaluronic acid serum and wait for a minute or so, and then I apply this serum before putting on a rich night cream. I've got quite sensitive skin, but tolerate this product well (unless I've used an vitamin A-cream the previous day - then the serum makes my skin burn). High quality product with good value for money!
WOW, unexpected GREAT result...
Posted by MamaToMany on Sep 26, 2011
I liked this immediately, but I just noticed today (about 6 days into using it every morning) that my normally very puffy undereye area is GONE! I'm not even exaggerating. I'm a mom of 5 and sleep isn't exactly on my side, so I honestly assumed that my puffy eyes was something I would just have to deal with. NOPE! I almost rubbed my normally puffy eyes when I looked in the mirror today. With no other change in diet or facial products, I have this product to THANK!!!!!! I am sold, for good! THANKS to Iherb for carrying the best products! Oh, and trust me, although I don't normally spend much on facial products, the cost of this is worth every penny for me not looking like I'm permanently ready to fall asleep.
not for problem skin
Posted by Reviewer2653306 on Jan 28, 2011
Maybe this product is just not for my skin... I have a problem skin. After using this product couple days my skin became much worse, lot's of achnes appeared.
超赞面部活力修复VC乳液, strongly recommended facial serum
Posted by Reviewer2114308 on Jun 29, 2012
非常好用的一款面部修复乳液,虽然只有一小瓶,可只需要一点点,早晚各一次,脸部会变得很光滑了,细腻,是我用过的乳液里面非常好用的一款呢。强烈推荐啊! Though just a little bottle, while just a bit of the serum, morning and night, your face will become soft and delicate,it's one of the best serum i have used, strongly recommended!
Do not recommend
Posted by Reviewer2436244 on May 15, 2012
This was an extremely disappointing product. There is simply no way to use the "squirt" dispenser without spraying the lotion all over. I wasted about 2/3 of the bottle just trying to get it to dispense. I tried everything but nothing worked. I will never buy this product again.
Avalon Oranics products are wonderful!
Posted by Reviewer2514138 on Apr 23, 2009
I have been a big fan of the Avalon products for a while now, and I'm completely devoted to the Vitamin C face wash. I always thought during my teenage years, that I'd grow out of my acne, but here I am at almost 30, still battling the acne with sensitive skin - it's a very difficult to keep up with the many personalities of my facial skin! I purchased this product because moisturizers and creams tend to make me break out, and thought this could be a nice alternative. It might be working, but I think that this too is making me break out - but in a different way, like it's purging my skin of the impurities. I'm going to stick with it till it's gone, but my face is skin is definitely softer, acne is healing faster, though still there, and I have an overall brightness. At the iHerb price, it's worth it.
Not for me
Posted by 5212518351490084631 on Dec 23, 2013
It made my skin very dry and flaky. I also had worst breakouts. Bought it reading all the reviews, but it was not for me. I have a combination skin. It made it much worse. I bought it along with the cleanser, cream and eye serum. Had problems with all of them.

I had acne on my face.
Very Effective and Very Reasonble priced at IHERB.COM
Posted by Reviewer2019131 on Dec 10, 2008
I started using it because i had lot of sun damage. Though i just started using it around 15 days back,my face looks much better.Also it's very lightweight and you can use make-up on it. Though it's a bit expensive,but i have stopped using all store brand facial cream and just use this as a facial moisturizer.I would definitely buy it again. Monika
