text: Can you explain how you know the which diode is cut off? I'm a little confused on the highest positive voltage at the anode and the lowest voltage of the cathode explanation given. What would happen if the cathode had all negative voltages. I'm just not understanding the diode analysis. Does this relate to "guessing" which one is one and off and then cranking through the analysis? Also, what do you mean by the voltage clamping on?

All systems are still go for Moncks Corner's rec complex.
In a pre-dawn special meeting Thursday, Moncks Corner Town Council unanimously approved and finalized the Phase One plan for its proposed regional recreation complex.
For Mayor Bill Peagler, good things come to those who wait.
"Nobody ever gets everything they want with a compromise but in this case I am extremely happy with the compromise we reached," he said. "Now we have a direct plan of action regarding the recreation complex in that we can move forward and have something the town can be proud of."
Construction of the $5.4 million dollar Phase One is under way. "Contracts have been awarded and construction has begun," said Moncks Corner Town Administrator Marc Hehn.
Hehn said a planned completion date of the Phase One portion of the 52-acre complex, which includes four lighted baseball fields, paved parking, a concession stand/press box, event signs, paved access road, an irrigation system and walking trails, is anticipated by the coming fall.
"I am extremely pleased with the decisions council made this morning," the mayor said.
Until this week, little had been done in regard to the rec center property since the town purchased the tract of land fronting Main Street and Hwy. 52 in 2010.
Other than clearing the land, keeping it mowed, and crushing the foundation rock left behind by the old Umphlett Lumber Company building, the 52-acre tract of land had sat untouched for more than two years.
"Some decisions about the recreation complex have to be made," said Peagler at the start of the special town council meeting. "This is the culmination of where we've come to. We started out with the ambitious task of not raising taxes. At the end of the day it's been a very rewarding endeavor as we have come so far. We now stand at the crossroads of where we go from here and the legacy we leave as a town council."
Town council approved an $800,000 bridge loan through Santee Cooper to jumpstart the construction process that had fallen more than a year behind schedule. The town has two years before it has to figure out how to repay the loan, but by then the complex will be up and running and generating revenue from sports tournaments and tourism.
Attracting visitors to the downtown area of Moncks Corner has been Peagler's primary goal since taking office as mayor in 2005. He said, "We have to ask, is the product we leave out there going to be something that brings people to town or is it going to be nothing more than a glorified playground? We have to spend money to make money. What we do here will show the town that we have confidence in our future going forward."
Council pared down its original grocery list as to what would be included in the Phase One stage of construction. When the complex is completed a new recreation center, a farmer's market, soccer and football fields, batting cages, and a youth "Miracle Field" are planned to be included in the park's design.
Park and Recreation Director Ralph Jones said the new complex involved many more individuals than those present at the Thursday morning meeting. "This complex is the culmination of years of work by a lot of people, both past and present," he said.
The mayor said the complex was critical to the town's future growth.
"We want to do right by businesses in showing them we have confidence in the downtown area," he said. "We've seen what facilities like these do in other areas and I feel strongly we can have a facility here that can do the same if it is council's wish."
Council unanimously approved proposed Phase I plan.

The year was 1996, and I was at Fenway Park for the first time ever with my dad and friends.
As a 14-year-old, I was way, way overdue for my first trip ever to New England's Baseball Cathedral, and I knew it. I was beyond excited, and ready for the smell of the grass, the imposing greenness of the left field wall and the exploding cheers of the Fenway Faithful.
The game was a mid-summer classic: A 4-3 win that featured a go-ahead home run by Boston's Mo Vaughn in the eighth inning, three other dingers and a gritty performance by Red Sox starter Tom "Flash" Gordon, who pitched 7.2 innings, but got a no-decision.
In retrospect, though, the game also included key contributions from no fewer than three athletes accused of cheating in the Mitchell Report: Vaughn, Jose Canseco and Mike Stanton, the winning pitcher that day out of the Sox bullpen.
Add in speculation that centered on former MVP Juan Gonzalez, who homered that day, and perennial All-Star Ivan Rodriguez, who doubled and knocked in a run, and it's the perfect microcosm for the way steroids and human growth hormone have tainted baseball forever.
Listen: You can call me naive. You can say that we all should have realized before now that the achievements of the Steroids Era will forever remain under a dark cloud, whether it's fair or not.
When I see names like Vaughn's in the The Mitchell Report, though, that's some small way heartbreaking -- even if he allegedly didn't seek out human growth hormone until he was with the Mets in 2001.
It calls into question his entire career, his entire character. It overshadows the good works he has done for years in Boston and New York alike. In short, it makes it painfully clear again that some of our heroes were also inherently flawed men, especially when coupled with previous reports about steroids in Boston in 2000 (Manny Alexander) and 2000-2001 (Paxton Crawford).
In New England, it was a big relief yesterday to see that there wasn't a single current member of the Red Sox on the list. Instead, a collection of castoffs and misfits were exposed, not one of which is accused of using while in Boston in the report.
Is there any joy in that? Satisfaction?
No, there's not. And that's why a lot of times, I'd much rather hide behind the joys of baseball through the eyes of kid in this blog, responding as someone who would much rather laugh at a fan doing something ridiculous than play Grampy McGrumpypants all the time.
Like at least one other blogger, I'm placing a moratorium on Mitchell Report-related posts until something new comes from it.
Beg pardon, but I'll try and find the way June 14, 1996, felt again while I'm at it.

Rep. Charlie Rangel isn't the only person on Capitol Hill with some explaining to do about tax problems. The Washington Post reports that 638 congressional employees owed a whopping $9.3 million in back taxes at the end of last year.
Delinquent taxpayers in the House owed an average of $15,498 and in the Senate, $12,787. The rate of delinquency among all Hill workers was 4 percent at the end of 2009, compared to an average of 3 percent of all taxpayers.
The findings are nothing short of outrageous, considering that Capitol Hill staffers help write tax laws and figure out novel ways to spend the taxpayers' money.
Altogether, federal employees owe $1 billion in back taxes. That number includes 41 presidential employees, who owed a total of $831,000.
The Post report was derived from IRS data, which don't include the scofflaws' names. So it's possible that there may even be a congressman in the mix.
Among the most notable Capitol Hill delinquents are three employees in the Office of Government Ethics who owed a total of $75,000. You'd think that ethics' officials would strive to be beyond reproach so they could investigate folks like Rep. Rangel without appearing to be hypocrites.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, has a straightforward way to sharply reduce tax delinquencies among federal workers: Fire them.
"If you're on the federal payroll and you're not paying your taxes, you should be fired," Rep. Chaffetz told the Post. "There should be no special exemptions." He has introduced a bill that would allow delinquent federal employees to work out a repayment plan as an option to dismissal.
Rep. Chaffetz' bill recognizes that federal workers should be held to a higher standard on the tax front because they are paid with public money. And compared to most Americans, federal employees have great-paying jobs.
In any event, the bill would have a fiscal benefit: It would either collect hundreds of millions in back taxes or reduce the federal payroll.

On Wednesday, his Royal Highness Prince George was given the name of six previous kings.
In 1670, our city was named for King Charles II, aka "The Merry Monarch."
Maybe that's why the fascination many Americans felt from Monday's arrival of the latest royal George (full name George Alexander Louis) seemed especially intense in our community. After all, despite that unpleasant misunderstanding with the mother country 230-odd years ago, the historic city previously known as Charles Towne retains a regal feel — and a sense of noblesse oblige.
We've got King Street and Queen Street. We used to have a minor-league baseball team called the Royals.
And Charleston has long been ruled by a benevolent (most of the time) monarch of sorts — a powerhouse mayor who's used to getting his way.
Indeed, our entire state has a habit of keeping the people in charge in charge. Charleston's Fritz Hollings didn't achieve "senior senator" status until serving more than 36 of his more than 38 years in Washington. Strom Thurmond was a senator for 48 years until retiring at age 100. Mendel Rivers was our 1st District representative in the U.S. House for nearly three decades — and would have been there much longer if he hadn't died at age 65 in late 1970.
Back to now: Joe Riley, aptly dubbed "mayor for life" by Bill Murray, has held that job for more than 37 years. Keith Summey has been mayor of North Charleston for nearly 19 years — and his son, Charleston County Councilman Elliott Summey, looks primed to be his political heir.
What might have been
No, "divine right" doesn't apply to our repeatedly re-elected political leaders.
Yes, George III, aka "The Mad King," soured a sweet deal by not giving the colonists enough say in running things — and a big enough piece of the financial action.
Yes, the ensuing rebellion began with the glorious rhetorical bang of a high-minded declaration worthy of enduring admiration. Yet while many South Carolinians, including this one, again got caught up in that inspiring Spirit of '76 earlier this month, remember, the Patriots around here weren't just fighting the British Redcoats. They were fighting fellow colonists. And a few of us retrograde Tories remain a little wistfully disappointed that George III and the original tea partiers didn't avoid their messy divorce.
Review what Britain did without us, then imagine what she could have done with us. She built the 19th century's most lucrative empire. She helped us win World Wars I and II. And on this 60th anniversary of the Korean War armistice, keep in mind that 100,000 British troops served on our side — and more than 1,000 were killed. The Brits even helped us liberate Kuwait in 1991, and joined in on our 21st century military missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
America's race to ruin
Sure, the royal family hasn't wielded much real power in modern times. That's just as well, considering that Prince Charles the Goofy is now first in line to the throne — and his mother, beloved Queen Elizabeth II, is 87 years old.
Then again, America's self-governing experiment is in a bit of a sticky wicket. Already nearly $17 trillion in the red, we're accelerating toward financial oblivion as the grabby rabble demands ever-higher government benefits and never-higher taxes.
It's enough to make me regret chastising, in a heated radio match a decade or so ago, pro wrestler Sir William Regal over his haughty decree that we "colonists" would ultimately rue our revolting ways.
Back to 2013: Five-day-old Prince George is third in line to the crown behind Princes Charles and William. If the little chap becomes King George VII, he's bound to do better than his great, great, great, great, great, great, great granddad King George III.
Meanwhile, King Joe I, with his promised abdication looming in early 2016, must rush to leave his final marks on the city named for King Charles II.

LEETONIA- Zoning Inspector John Rydarowicz has reintroduced a landlord-tenant agreement that should help enforce the zoning code.
Rydarowicz Wednesday night brought before Village Council a revised ordinance that would require landlords to disclose their tenants to the village. Council agreed to discuss the issue at a Zoning Committee meeting at 6:30 p.m. March 7 in Village Hall.
After much backlash from local landlords, council in January 2011 unanimously voted against the third and final reading of the initial ordinance, which the landlords claimed was unfairly restrictive against rental property owners.
The revised ordinance still requires the owners to pay a registration fee, open the property to inspections and purchase hazard and general insurance for the home, but eliminates the requirement for proof of the occupant's legal citizenship or residency. It also eliminates the requirement that each additional members living in a unit register as an occupant.
Exemptions to the agreement include hotels, motels and dormitories; senior living rental units owned by Public Authorities and Dwelling Units; and senior living multi-dwelling units operated under the Internal Revenue Service.
According to Rydarowicz, the need for the ordinance remains the same as when he first introduced it over a year ago.
"We're not getting responses from landlords (for zoning violations)," he said. "If we know who is living [in a rental unit] we can cite them instead of trying to track down the owner."
Under the ordinance the occupant will be cited into mayor's court, eliminating the hassle of finding property owners, most of whom live outside the village, Rydarowicz noted.
Rydarowicz said currently he must cite into mayor's court the landlord for violations, but if the landlord lives outside of Leetonia, a police officer must deliver the citation or it must be delivered by certified mail. Since it is not feasible to hand deliver the citations long distances, he sends them by mail. The citations are then not accepted by the landlord and returned to his office unopened, he said.
There are over 30 outstanding citations at his office, he noted.
Council President Dan Summers, who noted that the police department has also expressed a need for the ordinance, asked that council sit down with Rydarowicz to address the issue in more depth.

Comments Thread For: Klitschko's Trainer: Wladimir vs. Deontay Wilder Likely
Heavyweight contender Johnathon Banks, who also happens to be the trainer of IBO/WBO/IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (60-3, 51KOs), expects a fight with Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28KOs) to happen in the not too distance future. If Wilder continues to go right through the competition, then Banks predicts the showdown will happen.
It is very difficult to tell just how good Wilder really is. He stopped all of his opponents, who were mostly overmatched and scared of Wilder's power before the bell even rang. The date of Wilder's next fight is unknown, but Wladimir faces mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin in the fall.

I don't think that Banks has much to say in choosing Wlad's opponent - anyway Wilder has to sort out his court day and he could be putted aways for years.
Wilder is very very gunshy so he would be put away quickly by Wlad.

On topic, ok fight I guess. Another cherry pick though better than piñata. Wilder is clearly very raw and needs at least 5 fights against top opposition to pose any challenge. But with his power and Wlads chin, anything could happen.

Why would Fury fight Wilder when he's on the verge of becoming mandatory. Wilder would be a step backwards.

...*sigh*...another deposit for the landfill...
...majestically enthroned amid the vulgar herd...
RIP Steve. I was never the biggest fan of your products but I can't knock what you achieved and how you changed the world of technology.
And I think you've done one more great thing for so many people. Sadly, you are proof that having billions in the bank doesn't buy you a longer life. I think that will resonate with many folks and they'll be saying "perhaps I shouldn't worry about money and retirement as much as I do"
I was never an Apple guy because of the cost, but I always respected Jobs and Woz...check out Jobs' speech to Stanford grads back in 2005, I think...
...also, Home | TWiT.TV went live with the news and had a thoughtful discussion of his life...it's home to all the tech wizards so maybe you might here something you haven't before...
"Goddamn it Lord, bless oh ye this bacon..."
George Liquor American
I never bought or owned anything apple, however it's just not the Iwhatever that made this guy, it's the technology he and his workers put together for all people to use. (should they have enough money to buy them )
When I was young I kicked my sister.
my mum gave me such a smack, then asked "do you want another one"?
"Jeez" mum I said "I have enough trouble with one sister without you having another"
The man certainly made an impact, didn't he? At one point earlier this year Apple had the largest market cap of any company in the world. Simply amazing.
RIP. You won't be forgotten, that's for sure.
It's not fair to bash on Steve cuz Apple fanboys are such losers. Anyone who got their first computer in the 80's will respect the guy for what he was. Personally, I think Apple fanboyism has a lot to do with demise of a lot of companies in the early 90's such as Amiga and Atari. Apple was the only company that could rival Microsoft and their really horrid OS called Windows back in the day. The fanboyism turned into cult. Not Steve's fault.
.... Steve Jobs was the only technology guy who managed to put a leash on the Music Industry. If not for him, we wouldn't be able to legally own music from all the major labels at just a click of a button.
...and I think the music industry owes much to him: he single-handedly brought people back to PURCHASING music, because he made it so convenient and affordable to do so. iCloud and Music Match is going to further this idea -- people are going to be paying for the pirated music they've downloaded. The music industry gets back without needing to take 'consumers' to court, and everyone is happy. Respect.

"Take this, brother; may it serve you well."
Bill Gates must be dancing a little jig as he signs the condolence card.
Faith, by itself, isn't a good enough reason to believe. Instead, a belief must be defensible through reason, logic, and evidence.
The idea that faith is somehow justified by the fact that the beliefs cannot be proven is a truly Orwellian position to adopt - not to mention intellectually and ethically dangerous.
[QUOTE=Thaitanium;1600975] Really, mourn the loss of an Einstein, Galileo, Ghandi...and the like, and sing their praises for their contribution to humanity...but a man like Jobs really only created an almost religious like following of braindead consumers...not really anything to write home about... Very fine substance there TT, and well phrased as usual. Anyway, RIP Steve.
Don't get down in the mud with pigs. You just get dirty and the pig likes it.

LONDON -- The FTSE 100 (FTSEINDICES: ^FTSE ) closed the day up 1% to 64 points as optimism over the future of American and Japanese economic-stimulus policies trumped the loss of the U.K.'s "AAA" credit rating. The U.K.'s top-tier index has closed above 6,400 just once -- could we be in for a repeat?
But even if the FTSE is soaring, there are plenty of individual shares that are not. Here are three plumbing new depths.
Stobart (LSE: STOB )
Stobart Group shares closed on a 52-week low of 90.2 pence on Friday, though they recovered a bit to reach 92.5 pence today. The shares are down 40% from their early 2010 levels after earnings growth came to a halt and turned to decline. We now have a further fall of around 30% forecast for the year to February 2013, with the shares on a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.
But with earnings forecast to start rising after that, and with 6.7% dividend yields on the cards, is this a time to get in for a recovery? It might be, but the dividend will be barely covered this year, and it could be unwise to consider it safe.
Lonrho (LSE: LONR )
Few miners have had it as hard as Lonrho, whose shares closed Friday at a new low of 6.6 pence -- they're at 6.79 pence as I write. That's down 48% from a 12-month high of 13.25 pence set in April last year. The most recent slump, a fall of 22%, came as a result of a weak fourth-quarter trading statement released on Feb. 4.
There's a loss per share currently expected for the year ended December 2012, with only modest earnings of 0.24 pence per share forecast for 2013, putting the shares on a prospective P/E of 29.
Bloomsbury (LSE: BMY )
Bloomsbury Publishing shares have been on a slide since the start of the year, taking them down to a 52-week low of 102 pence today. The price was soaring as high as 148 pence in August, so it's down 29% since that peak.
Forecasts for the year to February suggest a 10% fall in earnings per share, putting the price on a P/E of 8.7 with a 5.3% dividend yield expected. The dividend should be twice covered, and earnings are forecast to stabilize over the next two years, so is there are bargain here? Well, it was Harry Potter that made Bloomsbury its money, and the future of print publishers is by no means certain, so it wouldn't be without risk.
Finally, what's the best way to deal with share-price falls? One way is to focus on dividends, which can be spent or reinvested according to your needs -- whether investing for income or growth, good old cash is always welcome. And that's why I recommend the brand-new Fool report, "The Motley Fool's Top Income Share for 2013," in which our top analysts identify a share that they believe will provide handsome dividend income for years to come. But it will be available for only a limited period, so click here to get your copy today.

This photograph shows a poodle balanced between two chairs. The photographer was Lady Clementina Hawarden. She took up photography in 1857 and became one of the most experimental and original photographers of the nineteenth century. She often used her children, husband and servants as models. This composition with the poodle illustrates the theatrical nature of many of her photographs.

It's life – but not as we know it
Published 14/10/2013 | 05:00
* I have just returned home having spent two weeks in your lovely capital.
Dublin has a unique energy, its people are friendly and open-hearted – a rarity in the cosmopolitan context.
One thing did strike me as puzzling, though. On two different weekends I happened to be in the city centre, where I encountered what looked to me like a new genus.
There were beautiful, angelic female figures dressed elegantly in ballgowns, but their skin was of a deep orange hue.
They moved with great difficulty, staggering wildly, and defying all of Newton's gravitational laws on towering blocks of plastic – these, I was given to understand, were shoes.
This was preposterous, as they were evidently designed to be impediments to all known modes of propulsion.
These exquisite creatures were accompanied by what appeared to be young men clad in bow-ties, and dressed for all intents and purposes as if they were going to a state banquet.
Here, too, I was hopelessly mis-directed in my thesis, as they at all times carried big vessels from which they sucked as if their lives were dependent.
I pondered might they have been some kind of independent life-support system?
The following morning I happened to return to the capital, where I once more encountered many of these young fellows. Their attire, by now, was somewhat dishevelled, but the most striking thing about their aspect was the bright green pallor they now bore.
As they moved towards me out of the morning mist, with their startling orange companions, whom had also wilted in the intervening hours, I wondered had I slept through an alien invasion.
So startled was I by these encounters, that I looked to a nearby flower seller for an explanation.
"Ah sure, they're only finishing up after the Debs, love, they're debutants, that is," she explained.
I left none the wiser. For the life of me, I could not imagine which sphere of society was such an exotic rite of passage a preparation for.

* With the recent vote on the future of the Seanad and the inevitable post-mortem on the result, we are now facing an even more important decision regarding the country's systems of government and politics.
While the Seanad may have won the vote, it was hardly a resounding success, with just 42,000 votes the difference between life and death for the 76-year-old institution. But the vote was not the end of the fight because now we, as a nation, not just the Dail or the Seanad, must decide what we want the Seanad to do.
Clearly we are not impressed with its relative powerlessness yet we do not want a situation like that which prevails in the US at the moment, with an immensely powerful upper house causing political gridlock.
We must also decide who we want the Seanad to represent. The old cry of "represent the people of Ireland" is nowhere near good enough in explaining what role the Seanad will play in the government of the nation. Do we really want a second body elected in exactly the same way as the Dail? Surely we need a body that will represent the country but different to the Dail.
The people must decide these things. After all, democracy means the people are responsible, too.

* Last week saw an unprecedented attack on the good folk of Dublin 4. First we had lexicographer Prof Terence Dolan saying that D4 has an affected accent, a contrived and pretentious one.
How dare he? (or should that be 'how dor he?'). Anyway, things got worse. Next, the Government launched its attack by announcing the introduction of a new seven-digit postal code. D4 will cease to exist. In these circumstances, Joseph Conrad wouldn't mind me borrowing this exclamation – the horror, the horror.

* The speculation recently that pensioners won't be hit in the Budget ignores a very important fact that from the January 1, 2014, all 65-year-olds will have no entitlement to contributory old-age pension. These unfortunate citizens who have paid all their life into a scheme will be dis- enfranchised from reaping the benefits of their social welfare contributions.
This legislation was introduced by Fianna Fail to increase the pension eligibility age to 66 years, thus doing away with transition pension from the age of 65 years, to be effective from January 2014.
Now if this Government really believes that the last government was the culprit for all the injustices against the Irish people, let it right this wrong.

* The high piercing sound of a captured hare in a net, like a child crying, in a pro-coursing report on 'The Today Show with Sean O'Rourke', has confirmed it's open season on the hare again.
With the Irish Council Against Blood Sports' ceaseless reports of agonising injuries, trauma and even death inflicted by hounds in coursing, along with netting, caging, training and captivity, how can Ireland pretend to the world that the hare is a protected species here?
Blood sports have been outlawed in all the neighbouring jurisdictions, yet our country continues to capture and pursue the terrified hare with hounds, for fun. If Ireland hasn't caught up with the civilised world by then, it is our duty at the next election to elect enough enlightened politicians, who oppose coursing as part of their agenda, in order to prohibit and banish forever this deplorable sport from our country, too.

* I wish to respond to Ian McCabe about school counsellors (Letters, October 12). Mr McCabe suggests that at a cost of €24m, a counsellor could visit all schools primary and secondary for one afternoon a week.
Second-level schools up to 2012 had full-time guidance counsellors in place on a daily basis at a cost of €33m a year.
Since becoming Minister for Education, Ruairi Quinn has gone a long way to demolishing what was a good service for young people.
Mr Quinn along with Kathleen Lynch constantly state how important it is to have a proper mental health service for young people. There was a service in place in second-level schools on a daily basis. Budget 2012 ripped the service apart.
I am a guidance counsellor in a second-level school in Dundalk. The cuts to guidance have left young people isolated and very much at risk.
They and the rest of the Oireachtas members who brought in the cuts to guidance should hang their heads in shame.
Some talk about the importance of mental health services for our young people. It's hypocrisy, as these same TDs and senators voted to demolish a service that was working.

Calcium Caseinate is made from fresh skimmed milk, and is a spray-dried milk protein that is also low in fat, carbohydrate and sodium.
Calcium Caseinate provides 27g protein per serving which will contribute to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
Calcium Caseinate can be used by anyone to reach daily protein requirements easily. The recommended dosage for this effect is at least 30 grams of Calcium Caseinate in a serving. Due to it being slow digesting it is recommend to take this in the evening.
Upon mixing you may notice that our Calcium Caseinate forms a cloudy but stable, colloidal but mostly homogenised suspension. You may also observe a higher foam level than that frequently seen on other protein powders. This is nothing to worry about and merely represents the typical physical properties of this product. The flavour profile of this product may also differ from that of other protein powders, with Calcium Caseinate having a thicker but grainier presence on the palate with a slightly flat flavour peak.
Please note that the labelling on this product is provided in English as a minimum. French, Italian, German, Spanish, Danish, Swedish and Finnish may also be present on a product by product basis.
Casein is best enjoyed in the evening to contribute to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. To reap the benefits of this product add 1 1/4 large scoops (30g) to 300-400ml of water or milk in a Myprotein shaker half an hour before bed. Alternatively consume any time of day to increase your daily protein intake.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This product is intended to be used alongside an active lifestyle and a balanced diet. Suitable for vegetarians.
For allergens, see ingredients in bold. May also contain gluten and egg.

Effective stuff but the mixability is so bad. After shaking the result is a foamy cream and u need a spoon to eat it.Goes Well With:a spoon
Im review about calcium casein non flaworet original taste like you aspect it's not a best but it's beer worksGoes Well With:With low fat milk or water
To a 300ml 'clip and seal' beaker I add 35g of powder (unflavoured), one teaspoon of horlicks and 225 - 250ml of skimmed milk. Shake hard for 20 seconds then leave for 5 minutes. It sets like a mousse and you can tuck in with a spoon. Up to you what milk and flavours you add but this ends up like a treat at the end of the day of work, training and bland low fat food.Goes Well With:An early night to recover and grow
This stuff absorbs way to much water. Don't dare put 2 scoops in 1 shaker or you will end up with an undrinkable slop. I tried mixing mine with instant oats and the stuff just set solid. I had Chocolate Smooth flavor and its was okay but not as good as other chocolate flavors from this shop. Definitely won't buy this again. Waste of money.Goes Well With:Tons and tons of water
Great product. Chocolate flavour is delicious. Just don't order vanilia which has somewhat chemichal taste and is much different from the vanilia flav drops.
I have been taking MP calcium caseinate for several weeks now and it has proven itself to be an effective and easy to use supplement. What makes this product quite remarkable is the fact that the powder basically has zero carbohydrates and yet still maintains a decent chocolatey taste. In my opinion I would even go so far as to say the chocolate flavour beats the powders with carbs I have tried in the past. The powder mixes easily into milk and water and, I assume, any liquid with comparable consistency. One general thing I have noticed with powders containing casein is that no matter how well mixed they are, the resulting shake seems to have a slightly gritty texture - but this is something I have seen even in much more expensive products. I have also used the product to boost the protein content of my home made flapjacks and have not noticed any negative impact on their taste or consistency. In terms of effectiveness, I use this product as a source of slow-digesting protein throughout the day and the chocolate flavour really does make this both tasty and easy. On a personal note, I would add that this protein seems to make me feel fuller for longer - especially compared to whey products, which makes sticking to my nutritional plan that little bit easier. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a slow digesting protein that tastes good, has a great nutritional profile, and is real value for money. Goes Well With:Milk / Water / Oats / Smoothies
Would not recommend this at all. Its like concrete even mixed with 500ml of water so you will be waking up in the middle of the night with a full bladder. Taste was also awful i had vanilla. never will be buying again, not up to their usual high standards
Used this product before and definitely works, vital for when I have done a huge sesh at the gym then need to sleep 7/8 hours for max growth, this stuff stays in my system well. Sometimes even take another one at 3/4am to keep the process going. The Caseinate definitely contributes to max growth over night. Also mixability-wise I found it fine, unusually it first goes super thick then i come back to it an hour later and it has dropped and thinned out. Perfect for avoiding midnight bloating, which is what Milk Protein Smooth can often do.
Expected better as all other myprotein products ive tried are excellent. This one unfortunately not for me. taste is ok. mixabity is poor with water or milk. As for effect I havnt been taking long enough to notice.
I train late night/early morning(any time between 23:30 and 5:00) so casein would be an ideal go to protein for me as after completing my workout i go home to bed and rest. I used to get DOMS the next evening but now I've tried it I have to say my recovery is much better and I don't move like an extra from the walking dead series. The only let down for me is the taste, I love vanilla but this shake really lacked much vanilla flavour at all and adding more powder just really made it seriously thick. However I overcame this by adding in a few extra vanilla flavdrops or using up some last bits of chocolate protein mixed in.. I would happily give this five stars if it had more flavour, I shall try more flavours and leave another comment once tested.
Great value for money first time trying my protein supplements gotta say its a thumbs up for sure. I passionate about bodybuilding its part of me since my teen and now iv discovered my protein it'll be a partner to my training at the gym and in the kitchen will definitely recommend others. 5*
It is a must have to drink it with your Whey protein and before going to bed. Chocolate flavor tastes best for me.
I use this before bedtime, the vanilla flavour is very subtle, mixes well, a little thick however it's fine with extra water :)
LOve the taste, because it is light - not strong taste (bought Vanilla and Chocolate Smooth). Can't say for effectiveness just yet. I actually prefer Chocolate alone and Vanilla with just a little Chocolate whey.Goes Well With:cold water, haven't tried anything else yet
Wanted a low carb high protein and long-lasting product and got just that. The chocolate is a great taste and mixes ok but occasionally sticks to the side of the mixing container and also if mixed poorly forms a rubber substance. But in terms of usefulness this product does help strip fat while maintaining a balanced diet, and also builds muscle and helps strength conditioning.
Got this casein protein to take at night while taking the whey during the day. Great product good prices and delivery was super fast. Highly recommended.Goes Well With:water
Decided to try this over my usual casein. Price is cheaper and I love the big 2,5kg packaging - my usual was 750g and you ran out of it quickly. I chose the vanilla taste but it actually is not that much vanilla flavoured. It is very easy vannila flavour, but I add some whey/cocoa/smth else for the flavour and I love it. It hardenes quite well and it gives you that feeling of eating something (not like normal whey shake). I mix it with a spoon or handblender. Great product.
Purchased the unflavoured version, which tastes ok but using the MP flavour drops makes it much better taste wise. This is quite a dense protein as even mixing a 25g scoop to 400ml of water is quite thick as if the protein itself absorbs the water and becomes more of a gel like substance. I usually take this on a night mainly for its slow release absorption, which is ideal for keeping me full during the night also, which before I would get hunger pains and it would break my sleep. Protein is high quality and works very well alongside whey protein.Goes Well With:Flav Drops
I have tried lots of protein shakes now. Whey, whey isolate, egg white, brown rice. This is by far the best one FOR ME! I use whey isolate for after the gym but this one in the morning, bedtime or at work. It makes a very thick shake so you need lots of water. I use a half scoop most of the time with a whole scoop of instant oats. I have tried a variety of shakes because they give me very smelly farts. They are better with this shake. Goes well with instant oats and creatine. I have also mixed it with whey protein.
Way better than the other brands of Calcium Caseinate I've tried. I bought to mix with smoothie at breakfast - it's a lot better mixed 50/50 with whey because if you try to blitz it into your drink on its own it turns out like cement. Mixed with whey it blitzes ok. Unflavored wouldn't taste nice on it's own, but fine mixed with something with some flavor. Goes Well With:50/50 with whey protein
i would recommend this product to anyone. Mixes best with warm water, not so well with colder water. Overall, great product that gave me very good results.
Can't see why anyone would have anything to say against this product? For me, this is a nice delight right before bad time and I look forward to drink it every evening. The taste is very nice - not too sweet as most of protein powders out there. I have vanilla flavour and I love it. The mixability is ok, a bit different texture as whey powders, but still very drinkable... The most imoprtant for me is quality/price and there's just no competition out there!Goes Well With:Milk
One scoop looks like a huge quantity of powder, but it mixes in pretty quickly 1% milk using an electric blender. Makes a nice creamy thick shake and tastes pleasant even with no other flavouring. Goes Well With:1% Milk
I think it's a very good product. The taste, mixability is as good as the other company's protein in Hungary and the price is more better. Delivery was very fast. Thank You guys!
Don't understand why some people has to say that much against this product. I found it very tasty (vanilla), very light flavour, not too sweet and it mixes ok. It has a bit different texture as whey powders, but that's becouse it's not whey! All in all it's a great product! Will buy it again!Goes Well With:milk
First of all I will talk about cons: im buying unflavored one (i hate artificial sweeteners) and unflavored tastes awfull, but Im adding ovaltine or any other instant cacao drink and then its quite good, other thing 2 scoops is too much for my shaker, after shak8n its all right but after finishing half of a bottle it gets too thick and I need to add more milk or water (thats inconvenient if I am at the gym). About pross: doesnt make me gassy, exept if Im takin it on compleyely empty stomach, but even then its not a problem ( somehow it doesnt smell :D ) good gains for lean mass. One in the morning one in the evening and you will get all amino acids that you need.
Really nice product, mixes nicely for a smooth taste. Good to use before bed to help recovery through the night, nice to have one in the morning also to kick start the day. Goes Well With:Water and milk 50:50
I take advantage of the very quick thickening of this product to make a yummy pre-bed chocolate mousse. Just add 250 ml of cold skimmed milk, 2 tablespoons of coca powder (stronger taste than chocolate powder) and 1 tsp of sugar to 1 level MP large scoop of calcium caseinate in a shaker. Quickly shake and pour immediately in a bowl, and you're good to go. This makes a very decent mousse, and the average taste of the product is well covered by the chocolate.Goes Well With:Cocoa powder
Excellent product, will sure buy another once finished with this, great tasteGoes Well With:Blended with ice and skimmed milk
I love this product have tried chocolate and strawberry and they both taste spot in and cures 'treat cravings'. It's thick like angel delight with just milk I go for half water half milk and it's like a nice thick milkshake
I bought Calcium Caseinate as i needed a slow release protein before bed & it was on a great deal in the sale. The ratio of protein (28g/30g serv, unflavoured) is amazing. I've had milk protein & micellar casein before, which mix into a thick, but drinkable shake. This however (in around 300ml water, 40g scoop), does not. I added powder to water, closed shaker, gave it a swirl, then went at it with a hand blender. It immediately turned to thick thick gloop. I was gonna add more water, but looking at it, it resembled angel delight, so i thought this could be more enjoyable if used as a dessert. Was great. Strawberry flavour could be sweeter, but i enjoyed eating it with a spoon & if on a cut/diet, this would be a guiltless pleasure to look forward to.
It tastes great! It's less powdery than milk protein smooth. Sometimes little bumps create while mixing but i don't mind them, they are also yummy.Goes Well With:milk water and sweeteners
Good product does the job, just doesn't mix very well at all, ended up with a load of large thick lumps that made me feel sick. Can't comment on taste as I bought unflavoured but as a protein it's quality just make sure you use a mixer ball.Goes Well With:milk
I was looking for a low carb alternative to whey to give my usual routine a change. I had a look here and noticed the low sugar, high protein and great value. After arriving I instantly mixed it with 400g of unsweetened almond milk, gave it a hell of a good shake and pretty much ended up with Angel Delight. It tasted fantastic and being as thick as it is helps with feeling satisfied for longer as well.Goes Well With:Unsweetened almond milk
after mixing you have 5 seconds to drink before it turns to gloop and the vanilla flavour isnt very nice, but found it worked well before bed. Tasted better with milk than water.Goes Well With:milk/ chocolate milk
i usually mix impact whey with 0% fat fromage frais to make a flavoured gooey thing that i occasionally suspend muesli in. anyway, yesterday i got my supps mixed up and stuck my choccy flavour cc in. after it got mixed up, i was pleasantly surprised to discover that this is the perfect texture, flavour and consistency for cheesecake. slapped a blob of this goo onto an oatcake and, hey presto - high protein - low carb cavalcade of delight. i usually stick my cc shake (with water) in the fridge for 10 mins after shaking in a hand shaker. thick and gloopey, but does the trick.
Don't put it straight into a blender as powder ...it will just clog up. Mix really well with a fork in a mug first until it is a smooth running paste then add to the blender. Flavour is not an issue......flavour it with whatever you like. I blend it with frozen fruit, bananas, Hemp milk (for omega 3) and Two Chicks liquid egg white. I add a dash of high juice blackcurrant squash or equivalent for flavour.
I bought the unflavoured 2.5kg Calcium Caseinate pouch. The taste is quite nice even though I bought the unflavoured variation. Mixing is not a problem with my shaker as long as your adding enough water as casein does get very thick. So far I've noticed some gains and I'd recommend the product.Goes Well With:Milk if you're looking to make a dessert.
i was initially looking forward to my first drink of this protein to find it turned as thick as icing absorbing over 300ml of water! i now have to use over 600ml of water to make sure the shake mixes completely and there is no large gloopey bits inside! after finding the correct mixture ratio the taste of vanilla is minimal but it definitely tastes better than the unflavoured supplements.Goes Well With:cadburys hot chocolate powder
30 minutes before I go to bed I have my calcium Caseinate, for the slow release of protein throughout the night. The chocolate flavour is awesome. I normally have 2 scoops and mix it with water with a little bit of milk for added taste... also it makes it a bit thicker. It's definitely recommend before bed for the slow release during the night. Goes Well With:Instant Oats and almond butter
I really like this product. Yes it takes a while to mix and yes it's as thick a porridge so hard to drink but it tastes great and really works! Will definitely buy again.Goes Well With:Water
Really bad mixability, you literally have 5 seconds after shaking to drink the whole thing or it might just choke you when it clumps up, but nevertheless, I can't do without my casein.
I don't really care about taste and tbh have never really cared that a shake doesn't mix too well until now. It's mixability takes the P I double S, it is so thick that is got stuck in my shaker and adding more water only makes it worse. I wish I could get a different product.
This is a great value product. You are probably better off mixing it with a hand blender but hey that's calcium caseinate for you.
You need some days to get used to the unflavored taste and also to the texture but it is not bad. Also it is really good for the slow release and the good protein percentage. I'm really satisfied with this.
I've recently stepped up my training and need round the clock protein, rather than get up in the middle of the night I was looking for a casein, this one took my eye for the value, I went for the strawberry flavour 2.5kg. I wont lie to you, mixed with water this one is very thick, like paste and lacks a little in taste but with milk this is phenomenal, like an angel delight. It is so so tasty, having never used this product before I am so impressed with it. This slow release protein will keep you going through the night and you won't be starving in the morning, a must for the serious builder. I had a small issue with the delivery which was resolved by the helpful staff too, all round, very happy. Goes Well With:milk, try mixing it and putting in the fridge for before bedtime,
Great tasting protein. Service from 'My protein' excellent
Love this stuff! Blended with quark/Greek yoghurt, cinnamon, egg white, ice & xanthan gum frozen for a half hour it makes amaing ice cream like stuff! Definitely keeps me going through the night and don't wake up absolutely starving in be morning. Goes Well With:Quark, MP flavourings. Anything really.
I purchased this product 2 increase my protein intake at night. This slow acting protein is perfect as a pre bedtime shake. I personally take it 4 hours into my sleep meaning my body is always consuming protein every 3-4 hours. Really helps me increase lean mass.Goes Well With:MP ZMA.
I had this Calcium Caseinate about a week now and use before bed, the taste isn't great but was okay. It turns into a foam like liquid which has a strange texture but I can live with it and with nearly 30g of protein, you cannot complain! Taste 4/5, texture 3/5, protein 5/5, overall 4/5.

At last, there is a book that attempts to put sexual abuse into a context. At this point in our understanding, any context or framework is welcome; to find one with which I am so comfortable is sheer joy. Although increasing numbers of case reports, anecdotal accounts, and now seemingly geometrically expanding demographic data are being published, a central or theoretic structure has been lacking. This is not surprising because this sociologic phenomenon was barely recognized as a problem ten years ago. Mrazek and Kempe accomplished what others failed to do: they produced a book that puts sexual abuse of children into the context of the family. Overall, they succeeded in defining sexual abuse, describing legal problems, and clarifying therapeutic and research considerations.
The theme of the family is central to this book and is its most intriguing aspect. Especially welcome is the chapter on the growth and psychosexual development

The former Disney starlet, 21, who was recently photographed en route to do some daytime dining with Kendall, 18, joined the model and sister Kylie, 16, on Friday night at West Hollywood hotspot Bootsy Bellows.
The siblings, who just got back from a heavily documented trip to Thailand, hung out with Gomez in the VIP room of the club in the very back corner.
Gomez, with her hair in an unkempt ponytail, sported a varsity jacket and skirt, while surrounded by other friends who huddled around her to where she wasn't easily visible.
But at one point, she hit the dance floor with Kylie, where the two ladies and some of their friends danced to Jay Z's "Change Clothes" and Outkast's "Rosa Parks." A puppeteer, holding a puppet who was a character from A Nightmare Before Christmas, eventually approached the group and they all danced with it, seemingly getting a kick out of the experience.
Kendall, on the other hand, was all about honoring the 23rd birthday of Teen Beach Movie's Garrett Clayton, who she hung out with for a little bit at his table. The TV personality, who was clad in a long, black dress that had fringe on the bottom, then joined Kylie and Gomez, who were very giggly and excited, while Kendall seemed a little more reserved.
The trio clung together as they exited the party spot just after midnight.
Gomez documented her bonding sesh with Kylie, posting an Instagram shot of the sexy young stars lying on their backs in different directions with the accompanying caption that said, "kylie&roses."

Seeing how Drayton McLane has made about $1.5 billion more than me in his lifetime, it's mighty peculiar that I'd have the nerve to offer him investment advice. Only thing is, he knows cigarettes and turnip greens and stuff like that, and he's making a mistake in applying the same economic principles to selling a baseball team.
This apparently is going to be a quiet off-season for the Astros, and that probably means ticket sales will continue to free fall. Attendance at Minute Maid Park has declined almost 700,000 since 2007, and Drayton has responded by doing even less to make the ballclub interesting.
Now, though, the club is up for sale, and he needs to give her a shiny new coat of paint and some new floor mats. One of the reasons the Chicago Cubs threw so much money at Carlos Zambrano may have been to get people talking about the franchise and make it a more attractive property.
Buying a sports franchise isn't based strictly on economics. It's an emotional buy, a toy. It's not as much what you buy to increase the size of your portfolio as it is to increase your fame and use that fame to (a) feed your ego and (b) increase the size of your portfolio.
If Drayton wants to make the Astros a more attractive property, he needs to get out there and get them in the news, and he could do this without tampering with the core goal of 2011 to give the younger guys more playing time. So he could spend money on pitching.
There's just one flaw in this thinking. Have you checked out the list of available free-agent pitchers? I don't know how much buzz signing Jamie Moyer can create. But at least, doing a little something with Carl Pavano or Jeff Franciso or Jorge De La Rosa would be better than doing nothing. He could attempt to sign Rafael Soriano or Dan Wheeler for the bullpen.
If nothing else, getting out there and offering a few sawbucks would at least get people talking about the Astros. That's better than the situation now where even the most devoted loyal fans are having a hard time coming up with a reason to buy tickets in 2011.

My desperate city needs honorable leader
I've lived all my life in Trenton. I'd say I'm pretty much a Trentonian to the core. I have seen Trenton in the best of times, when people packed into the city at night to shop in its department stores and the world bought the goods we manufactured here, and I've seen Trenton in the worst of times, when race riots consumed the Battle Monument neighborhood, when the factories shut down, when the department stores folded. I've seen botched urban renewal projects wipe out whole sections of the city, and I've seen poverty and crime bring down once-vibrant neighborhoods. I've cringed as one Trenton institution after another — from colleges to this very newspaper — has distanced itself from the name "Trenton." Through it all, I have always loved this city.
That said, I feel more than within my right to urge our city's mayor, Tony Mack, to please do the honorable thing and resign ("Mack indicted," Dec. 7). If he loves this city as much as I do, he will exercise the right professional judgment and turn his office over to someone else. Should his innocence be proven, he can run again. For now, however, it does nothing to enhance the city's already low reputation by staying in office.
I'm old enough, and have earned my right, to state my opinion. I've seen them come and go — the good, the bad and the in-between. This city desperately needs a leader whose integrity is solid, whose trust is uncompromised and who can devote all of his or her efforts to the task of leading it out of the mess it's become. Truly, resigning could be the most productive thing Mr. Mack could do for Trenton. Trenton doesn't have the time or the tax money to fund his folly.

More isn't better for Robbinsville schools
The Robbinsville schools superintendent is trying to create a sense of urgency to build more classrooms because of some future increase in student population due to a building boom. There hasn't been a new development in Robbinsville since before the Great Recession and there are no new developments, while approved by the planning board, even close to clearing ground.
The superintendent claims that enrollment is increasing. Statistics on file at the state Department of Education reveal that enrollment is "flat" and the trend is decreasing! They show 257 fewer students enrolled at Sharon Elementary School than at Pond Middle School. There's a "bubble" going through the middle grades, but enrollment at Sharon is down by almost 10 percent over the last four years.
The superintendent has stated that he intends to add 29 new classrooms without an increase in staff, because the 2 percent budget cap wouldn't allow otherwise. Are there 29 extra teachers in the system already? What about custodial staff?
The DOE Report Card says that Pond School has an average class size of 20 students. He wants to take 224 students (the equivalent of 11 classrooms at 20 students each) and add 5 more classrooms to Pond School. That's 16 empty classrooms in a school that already has an average class size of 20 students.
Does size matter? Robbinsville High school, with excess capacity, has an average class size of 22.1 students. Their average combined SAT score was 1555. Middletown South averages 33.1 students per class, who averaged a 1590 combined SAT score. Robbinsville is ranked 110 in the state by New Jersey Magazine, Middletown South is ranked 105.
Maybe we need more responsible thinking.

PSE&G made every effort to plug us back in
It seems a bit crass for the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to paint all utility companies with the same brush in declaring they all failed their customers ("Utility companies disagree with BPU president's failing grade," Dec. 7).
JCP&L has a history of being clearly second-best when compared to PSE&G when remediating storm-related damage. Look at the town of Hopewell, where they divide the town's customers, with the result that PSE&G comes out the clear winner, getting its customers reconnected far sooner. PSE&G appears to have a more modern infrastructure, which means to me that it has invested more toward improvements. PSE&G also seems to have superior mutual assistance agreements with utilities in other states and provinces, by virtue of the fact that I have seen so many out-of-area utility trucks in PSE&G territory after Superstorm Sandy.
I commend PSE&G for its performance in getting its customers reconnected onto the grid, especially when one considers that it has many times more customers than any other utility.

State takes advantage of Ewing's hospitality
Recently, I read a news report about how rich counties don't get their fair share of tax relief from the state. The report told only part of the story.
Ewing Township and other municipalities like it can't afford to continue a relationship with our free-lunch state government. Here are Ewing's "hard, cold facts" — something the governor should appreciate.
New Jersey owns $405 million in tax-free property and facilities in Ewing. If these assets were on our local tax rolls, they would generate approximately $20.7 million in real estate tax revenues for Ewing. Ewing residents and businesses pay annually close to $14 million in taxes to the state.
Readers can do the math. Ewing has been suffering pain inflicted by the state for years and I think it is time for it to change. We don't need a governor to inflict more pain, like he did when he cut our municipal aid by $2.5 million and again as much in cuts in aid to our school district.

The writer, a Democrat, is a member of Ewing Township Council.
Tit for tat in Hamilton?
I am glad the Hamilton Township Council acted as quickly as it did to appoint a new mayor. Since the former mayor was indicted, we have had a less than full-functioning government.
During his trial, former Hamilton Mayor John Bencivengo named John Ricci to serve as acting mayor. Upon Mr. Bencivengo's resignation, Kevin Meara, as council president, became acting mayor. During the trial, the name of another person in the administration came up, and Mr. Ricci fired her. Almost as soon as Mr. Meara became acting mayor, he fired Mr. Ricci. Because of the speed of the second firing, I cannot help but think that there was more to Mr. Ricci's dismissal then just starting to clean house.
I also cannot help but think that those who complained about the speed of the council meeting had more on their minds. Since Mr. Meara is serving his second term on the Hamilton Council, this time as a Republican, it should be remembered that in his first term, he was a Democrat. And the fact that Vinnie Capodanno was supporting Mr. Meara's complaint that the meeting to choose a new mayor was being held too soon ("Meara threatens to delay move to pick new mayor," Nov. 29) reminds me that Mr. Capodanno, a Democrat, served as a member of council when Mr. Meara served his first term.
I do not know how well Republican Kelly Yaede will serve us as our new mayor, but I wish her well, since it appears to me that the Democrats may already be trying to set the groundwork to connect her with Mr. Bencivengo.

National briefs
Tests link ricin to Obama letters suspect
TUPELO, Miss. -- Ricin has been found in a business once used by the man charged in the case of letters laced with the poison sent to President Barack Obama, according to a court document made public Tuesday that also said the substance was found on items the suspect dumped in a public trash bin.
James Everett Dutschke, 41, was arrested Saturday by FBI agents at his home in Tupelo, Miss., and is being held without bond pending a preliminary and detention hearing Thursday in U.S. District Court in Oxford.
The affidavit said that on April 22, Dutschke removed several items from his former martial arts studio in Tupelo, including a dust mask, which tested positive for ricin.
Trace amounts also were found in the studio, and Dutschke bought castor beans on the Internet, the document said. The beans can be used to make ricin.
Dutschke is charged with making and producing ricin as part of the investigation into poison-laced letters sent to Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and a Mississippi judge.
Morning-after pill to move over the counter
WASHINGTON -- The government is moving the morning-after pill over the counter but only those 15 and older can buy it -- an attempt to find middle ground just days before a court-imposed deadline to lift all age restrictions on the emergency contraceptive.
Today, Plan B One-Step is sold behind pharmacy counters, and buyers must prove they're 17 or older to buy it without a prescription.
Tuesday's decision by the Food and Drug Administration lowers the age limit and will allow the pill to sit on drugstore shelves next to spermicides or other women's health products and condoms -- but anyone who wants to buy it must prove their age at the cash register.
Workers search for remains at 9/11 debris site
NEW YORK -- The New York City Medical Examiner's Office said Tuesday its workers were sifting soil for possible human remains at a site near the World Trade Center where a plane part was found last week.
The aircraft part was discovered April 24, wedged between an apartment building and a mosque.
Authorities believe the plane part is from one of the two hijacked airliners that brought down the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
Of the nearly 3,000 victims, the remains of about 1,000 have never been recovered.
Elementary school adopts all-vegetarian menu
NEW YORK -- A New York City elementary school has adopted an all-vegetarian menu, serving kids tofu wraps and veggie chili.
Public School 244 is the first public school in the city to go all-veggie. The animal-welfare group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said it might be the first all-veggie public elementary school in the nation.
The Queens school has 400 students in pre-K through third grade. It wanted to offer healthy food options and started serving a vegetarian lunch three times a week and then increased it to four times a week. It recently went all-vegetarian.
Principal Robert Groff said Tuesday the kids gravitated toward veggie offerings, including black beans and cheddar quesadillas served with salsa and roasted potatoes.

FENTON, MI--On Saturday, more than 270 people dove into Lake Fenton behind Fenton Moose Lodge for the annual Fenton Polar Plunge, a fundraiser for the Special Olympics.
The event began with registration around 11 a.m., followed by a parade of plungers, with most of them wearing costumes and approaching the river in their teams, formed with coworkers or schoolmates.
From there, participants took turns jumping into a cut portion of the freezing cold river, with professional divers and ladders nearby to help them climb out. Two ambulances were nearby in case medical attention was needed.
After all the participants plunged, they enjoyed food and drinks inside the Lodge, where Pat Peters, area director for Special Olympics, gave awards for best costume, the teams that raised the most money or brought the most participants, and other honors.
Participants had raised money to plunge, aiming for the first level goal of $75 to get a Polar Plunge t-shirt, or more to get different awards. Peters said more than 1,200 people sponsored or donated for the Plunge, totaling $55,000 as of about 3:30 p.m. That result surpassed the goal of $40,000, which organizers had set after last year's results of about $36,000 raised.
The higher donations, Peters said, are largely because of new participants making such a strong effort. She said the Flint Dogs, a team of state troopers, has been bringing out support for all five years that the plunge has been happening at Lake Fenton. But this year saw the UAW bring in a team that raised $10,000, the Grand Blanc School District raising $10,000 between four schools, and an area Walgreen's raising more than $4,000.
"We blew (the goal) out the water, literally," she said. "The community staying behind us and being with us has been phenomenal."
The donations will go toward helping Michigan athletes participate in the Special Olympics. Peters said the Special Olympics doesn't get state or federal money, and that the donations usually go toward uniforms, equipment, registration fees, and transportation. Fenton's plunge was one of about 30 around Michigan, and this year's Special Olympics have more than 1,200 athletes from Area 13, which covers Genesee County and Lapeer.
Participants this year had freezing cold water to dive into: Peters said that a hole was cut in the water early on Saturday morning, and that the river had to be broken again because it had already refrozen by the time the plunge was about to begin.
Sean Thomas, a member of the Flint Dogs team, was up to the challenge. He participated for the first time on Saturday after hearing positive feedback from fellow officers, and he donned an orange suit for his plunge.
"It takes your breath away, literally," he said. "...There are so many people here, all for a good cause, and more people came than they expected. It's a good feeling (to participate)."
Davison resident Michelle Dyer participated for the first time on Saturday--a big deal with how much she usually hates the cold.
"I raised a lot of money, because no one would expect me to do this. I don't even like winter, let alone jumping into ice water voluntarily, and paying for it," she laughed. "...Nobody believed I would do it. They were sure that I would chicken out."
But Dyer had already done a bike-a-thon to help raise money for the American Diabetes Association, and she wanted to contribute to the Special Olympics after hearing about the plunge on TV on Friday. She convinced her best friend Rob to come along, and he brought his girlfriend's two children. Dyer also brought her daughter.
She has raised about $500 so far, wore beachwear as her costume. And the plunge wasn't as bad as she expected it to be.
"I thought this was going to be my last one, but it wasn't that bad," she said.

To the Editor.—The article entitled "Abscess in the Nonlactating Breast" by Ekland and Zeigler that appeared in the September issue of the Archives (107:398-401, 1973) details the authors' experiences primarily with subareolar abscesses. The recurrence rate in this condition, after what appeared to them to be adequate surgical treatment, was 39.5%. They had three patients who "... required simple mastectomy for control of persistent and recurring inflammation." They reported a low incidence of nipple inversion (two patients), and dismissed this as a causative factor in the recurring or primary abscesses. They did not state how many of the patients had a communication between the abscess cavity and the base of the nipple.
Our previously reported experience with acute and chronic recurrent periareolar or subareolar abscess now includes over 40 patients.1 We have seen many gradations of inversion responsible for the continuous "feeding" of the abscess cavity and recurrence. Proper

The Film
El Doctori s a dark animated poem set in a crumbling Mexican hospital about 1920. Inhabited by surreal characters including the man shot with one hundred holes, the girl who sprouted morning-glories, and the woman who thinks she is a horse, the Doctor prefers to drink. The Saint of Holes and a mysterious gargoyle rearrange the Doctor's fated demise and send him on a dark and twisted journey.
The film celebrates the nature of perception and the miraculous. Over five years in production the film was entirely hand painted by artists in Los Angeles and Mexico.

Camp Perry isn't all that far. CMP sells used guns.
March 20, 2008, 04:08 PM
Don't know. Around home (Butler), which is sorta-kinda in the Pittsburgh area, there's three stores that I know of.
Patty's Guns, in Lyndora (very small, one room the size of a tool shed, but good prices. She's also the only FFL around here who will ship handguns USPS). No website.
Sportsman's Supply, in Butler (fairly large, good to average prices). http://www.sportsmanssupplyco.com/
Gun World, in Harrisville (huge, ridiculously high prices, like MSRP + 50%). Don't think they have a website.
Something like 1/3rd to 1/2 of the guns for sale are used, at Patty's and Sportsman's Supply, IIRC. It's been awhile since I've been to either.
Mr White

Ryan, You're dead on with your comments about Gun World. The times I stopped in there, I thought the same thing. The last time it was all I could do not to laugh at the guy who told me that the M44 they had for $175 was a one of a kind WWII collectible.
Mr Designer, come out to the middle of the state. There are a few good used gun stores between Clearfield, Huntingdon, Altoona and Williamsport.

If you happen to be looking for a 1911, Gander Mountain in Greensburg has a Norinco .45acp for $249+tax/background check. It has an aftermarket safety and slide stop, but overall looked pretty good. I'd have grabbed it myself but i need a better safe before more guns.
A house to put the safe in, would be nice too. God i need to find a house.

East coast is a nice store. The prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly and knowledgable, they have a good and diverse selection of stuff. Lots of hunting guns, a few milsurps and a good AR department. Good supply of reloading components and supplies if you're into that.
If you're in Altoona, you gotta go to Pioneer in Altoona too. He has a lot of milsurp stuff, old Garands, Springfields, lots of AKs and SKSs, stuff like that. Plus lots of cool stuff to look at. Prices never really impressed me, but its a pretty cool store to visit if just to look around.
April 4, 2008, 11:41 AM
I've bought a couple guns from Anthony Arms in West Mifflin (8 miles south of Pittsburgh, across the street from the Allegheny county airport.). They aren't much for military surplus, AK's, and AR's but they have a very wide selection of pistols and deer rifles. Their staff is all very knowledgeable and customer friendly, except for one guy who really gets under my skin, if you've been their you'll know who i'm talking about. Also, they probably have the best gun smith in the county, he very reasonable on his pricing too.

A government-commissioned review of Ontarios public services is set to deliver a grim diagnosis of the provinces financial prospects, and propose a sweeping overhaul of the way it spends money.
At the heart of the new spending model would be a much tighter clampdown on health costs than Dalton McGuintys government has previously forecast. And among the roughly 400 recommendations for spending reforms are changes to some of the Premiers signature education policies, including a shift away from mandated smaller classes.
The commission, headed by former bank economist Don Drummond, was appointed last spring to help find ways to accelerate the return to a balanced budget. But in an interview on Wednesday, Mr. Drummond made clear that it will be a struggle just to achieve the current target date of 2017-18, and acknowledged that implementing recommendations of the commission would require a significant degree of pain.
If theres a way of doing it without that, I havent been smart enough to find it, Mr. Drummond said. Theres pain in every single chapter.
Mr. Drummond said the government has given the commission almost shockingly free rein, making no attempt to censor it. Nevertheless, the coming report expected to be released within the next month will present Mr. McGuintys Liberals with a major dilemma.
The Premier and his Finance Minister, Dwight Duncan, have held off on announcing any cost-cutting measures of their own, pending the commissions findings. The report recently took on additional importance, with the threat of a credit downgrade by Moodys Investors Services. But while Mr. Duncan conceded in a recent interview that he, too, expects some pain, insiders suggest that the Liberals did not initially anticipate how controversial Mr. Drummonds recommendations would be.
Sounds a lot like that KPMG report that the Ford administration had done last year that everyone thought was horrific.
In the Star article is speculated that some Ministries could see cuts of up to 30%. Not even Harper or Ford has proposed cuts that deep.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Syrian President Bashar Assad saud his country is at war, even as rebel forces set off a bomb in Damascus on Thursday near a busy market and the Palace of Justice.
The blast sent a column of black smoke up over the capital, a stronghold for Assad.
Tensions are also growing along the border between Iranian-backed Syria and U.S. ally and NATO member Turkey.
Turkey deployed troops and anti-aircraft rocket launchers to the border with Syria on Thursday.
The Turkish move followed Syria's shooting down of a Turkish military plane over the Mediterranean last week. One analyst said it would only increase tensions.
"So, all this [shooting down of the Turkish aircraft] can do is provoke and anger and it has accomplished that -- not enough to produce a war but again be one more straw on the camel's back and a few more months of this sort of thing and I wouldn't be surprised if the outside world gets a lot more involved in this war than we have so far," Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute, told CBN News.
Turkey warned Syria to keep its troops away from the border. But on Friday, The Jerusalem Post in an unconfirmed report quoted a rebel general saying Assad's army is amassing tanks about 19 miles from the Turkish border.
Turkish-Syrian relations are already strained. Turkey is hosting tens of thousands of Syrian refugees fleeing fighting in their country. Turkey has been backing the rebel's Free Syrian Army.
