Rated 4 out of 5�by Bobby99 Great support Good support for my knee. My knee has notably less swelling after activity. Keep me from over extending when kicking and riunning. May 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Guy6101 Excellent Features I have no ACL in my right knee and have recently began a weight loss and exercise program so I can compete in my first Spartan Race in September. I purchased these knee braces for a warm up Obstacle Course Race in Elsinore. I was able to do light running and climb obstacles with these braces, without feeling constricted. The only minor issue encountered, as they were new, was I needed to stop after the first mile or so and tighten the straps. The straps only needed tightening once, so these are definitely worth the cost. I look forward to using these during workouts and OCR races. April 12, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Gocubs Does what says I need two knee replacements but am trying to hold off as long as possible. Brace does a good job of stabilizing the knee and helps alleviate some of the pain. I am 5 foot 5 and 140 lbs size medium works well for me April 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jane Wonderful brace! This brace fit just perfectly according to the measurements my PT took before I ordered it. It came promptly and I can tell a difference in my knee already! It's easy to use and fits under my pants so I don't have to worry about dressing with it! It's so supportive! I love it! March 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by GuinnessLaxer Great, solid product Purchased my brace to provide support for my ACL Reconstruction. I have not used it to play any sports, yet, but I have been coaching with it for about two months and it has been very comfortable and supportive for everything that I have used it for.

Carolina Beach raids marijuana growing operation
Detectives on Thursday launched a joint-raid on a Carolina Beach house under the Snow's Cut Bridge, stifling a sophisticated marijuana growing and distribution operation involving 50 plants and more than 39 pounds of packaged marijuana, authorities said. Together, the marijuana holds an estimated street value of $150,000. … Read More »

Pitt fullback Derrick Burns is recovering well after suffering a stroke Tuesday (via the PG):
"He was doing fantastic [Wednesday]," Dan Burns, his adoptive father, said Thursday. "He was very upbeat. He's still very weak on the right side, but his prognosis is very good. He has massive blood clots in his brain, and they're working to dissolve those."
Dan Burns said doctors elected not to perform surgery because they deemed it too risky. Doctors have not given a timetable for Derrick Burns' release from the hospital, but Dan Burns said it could be a matter of "days or weeks."
Dan Burns also said Derrick Burns will be on blood thinners the rest of his life.
It goes without saying, but we wish Derrick the best as he deals with this condition the rest of his life. Paul Chryst agrees (via ESPN):
"Paul Chryst, the class act that he is, says, 'Derrick, I don't care about football right now. We just got to get you better,' " Dan Burns said, referring to the Panthers' coach.
The bad news is that it's likely Burns will never take a snap as a Panther. Of course, that's small potatoes compared with his health and his life.
At fullback, Pitt doesn't have a lot of options at fullback. Burns is the only eligible scholarship player at fullback. Chris Mike (RS Jr), Chris Wildman (RS Jr) and Randy Morris (RS Fr) were all unrecruited and Ohio State transfer David Durham isn't eligible until 2013 under NCAA rules. There's going to be a huge opportunity for the three walk-on players to earn minutes and likely a scholarship. Someone is going to have to step up.no comments
Expansiopocolypse is everywhere on the interwebs these days...and the "breaking news" on this topic is nothing more than people repeating other people's misinformation and how it effects [insert school here]. We could write about it every day, but Chas over at PittBlather.com does such a fantastic job creating a daily digest post on the happenings that it would serve little purpose for us to do the same. It's the off season, we need a break too.
But if there is something to report, we will be on top of it. Steve Pederson speaking on how Expansiopocolypse will/won't effect Pitt? That's summer blog post worthy.
The conference commissioners, university presidents and even the pundits flirting with a four-team playoff based on four conference champions are fantasizing. Imagine the litigation. Or even legislation. If you thought senators fumed when Utah or Boise State were snubbed by the BCS, just wait until someone tries to close the door permanently on dozens of schools.
"No way," Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson responded Thursday when I raised the topic. "We don't know where a lot of this is headed, and we might still be looking at some form of the current BCS setup. But everyone absolutely will have access to the national championship."
As long as everyone has access to the national championship, doesn't an ACC team have an easier road to it? Dejan Kovacevic makes that argument in his article:
West Virginia will have to plow through some serious heavyweights — Texas, TCU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State — just to stay afloat in the Big 12, much less contend. Pitt's ACC opponents come with some pedigree, particularly Virginia Tech, but won't be nearly as strong. A 13-0 or 12-1 record isn't easy anywhere, but it sure looks more feasible in the ACC than the Big 12.
Would 12-1 in the ACC be enough to make a four-team playoff?
"Oh, I would think so," Pederson said. "Look, it's pretty clear that there are five power conferences and that the ACC is one of them. We control the eastern seaboard, we've got the prestige, the athletics, the academics ... we're thrilled to be where we are."
Some people are assuming that because the B1G Ten, Pac-12, Big XII, and SEC bring in the most television money, they will always be the Top 4 conference champions (the model being pushed for by most all conference commissioners)...but that is certainly not the case. Let's look at the BCS's history since it was created in 1998.
Using the final regular season BCS rankings, here are the highest ranked four conference champions all-time:
1998: SEC, ACC, Big XII, B1G Ten
1999: ACC, BIG EAST, Big XII, SEC
2000: Big XII, ACC, BIG EAST, Pac-12
2001: BIG EAST, Big XII, Pac-12, SEC
2002: BIG EAST, B1G Ten, SEC, Pac-12
2003: Big XII, SEC, Pac-12, B1G Ten
2004: Pac-12, Big XII, SEC, MWC
2005: Pac-12, Big XII, B1G Ten, (Notre Dame), SEC*
2006: B1G Ten, SEC, Pac-12, BIG EAST
2007: B1G Ten, SEC, ACC, Big XII
2008: Big XII, SEC, Pac-12, MWC
2009: SEC, Big XII, BIG EAST, MWC
2010: SEC, Pac-12, MWC, B1G Ten
2011: SEC, Big XII, Pac-12, MWC
* Notre Dame was ranked #6 in the final 2005 BCS Standings, ahead of the 4th conference champion Georgia (SEC)
Only twice (2003, 2005) have the B1G Ten, Pac-12, Big XII, and SEC owned the Top 4 conference champion positions. If there there was a Notre Dame clause, as there is in the current BCS format, the Irish would have stolen the 4th spot in 2005.
When all is said and done, history dictates that there will at least be one opening a year in the Top 4 conference champion playoff model for a non-Big Four conference champion...and Pitt, if deserving, would have a shot at it.
(Editors Note: Chas needs to trademark the phrase Expansiopocolypse™, and then print t-shirts afterwords saying "I survived Expansiopocolypse™" in a nice royal blue and mustard colored script. I know I would buy one. He should probably do this before Chas down on the corner in Oakland steals his idea too.)

Decommitments make Buddy a sad elf.
Not good. Indiana offensive lineman Dan Sanuelson once made Buddy a happy elf by committing to Pitt. Now? Not so much.
Samuelson has flipped his commitment from Pitt to Nebraska after visiting the Huskers last weekend. (Via Huskers Extra):
The family liked Pitt plenty. They still think highly of the program and coaches. "We have a tremendous amount of respect for them," said Tom. "They did nothing wrong."
Dan had visited the Pittsburgh campus three times, in fact.
But two Saturdays ago, he received a new offer from a school he just had to check out.
So the family stopped into Nebraska this past weekend. Immediately there was a connection, one that would quickly lead to the Huskers gaining their eighth commitment of the 2013 class.
If the Pitt's ACC staff is going to continue to focus on midwest recruiting, I worry that this might often be the case. There's a reason that Samuelson was Pitt's first recruit from Indiana in a long, long time. Kids in Big 10 country want to go to Big 10 schools. Particularly kids from placed in the middle of the conference like Indiana or Wisconsin. These kids are raised on Big 10 football and more often than not, they'll pick the Big 10 over most over conferences. Pitt may be better off focusing on Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio and the occasional major recruit from New York or West Virginia, lack of ties/contacts/whatever be damned. Pitt made the conscious decision to affiliate with an eastern conference - Pitt's football recruiting is going to have to keep up.
Making it doubly heartbreaking is that Samuelson is an offensive lineman, an area of gigantic need for Pitt. Making it triply heartbreaking is that offensive line recruiting is supposed to be this staff's bread and butter, but they let a good one go to this guy.
Whatever. Nebraska fans look stupid. Nice corn hat, brah. [/pouts]
In all seriousness, best of luck to Samuelson. Can't blame a kid for doing what he thinks is in his best interest, even if that's not at Pitt.no comments
Like seemingly all news nowadays, it started as an unconfirmed tweet and grew from there: Pitt sophomore fullback Derrick Burns has suffered what many are calling a stroke and is in stable condition at a Pittsburgh hospital.
Burns had apparently been complaining of headaches and was taken to the hospital after the condition became more severe.
He is reportedly in stable condition.
Obviously, his health is far and away the biggest concern right now, but it's unfortunate nonetheless that redshirt sophomore was primed to see playing time at fullback in Paul Chryst's power system. He didn't see a single snap under Todd Graham.
Burns is in our thoughts, along with those of his teammates.

College Football guru Phil Steele has published his 2012 All-Big East teams and the Panthers are represented with four players on the first team. On offense, it's Ray Graham and Chris Jacobson, while on defense, it's Aaron Donald and Jarred Holley. All four players are solid picks and are expected to be stars in order for Pitt to succeed.
Other Panthers on the list include Mike Shanahan and Ryan Turnley (second team), Hubie Graham, Matt Rotheram, Todd Thomas, K'Wuan Williams, Ronald Jones and Kevin Harper (third team), and Tino Sunseri and KK Mosley-Smith on the fourth team.
I don't get particularly bent out of shape about preseason lists anyways, but I think Steele's is pretty accurate. Both Graham and Donald should be in the running for player of the year on their respective sides of the ball if healthy. Moseley-Smith could turn out to be significantly better than fourth team, but that's mostly potential versus proven production.
Of course, it should be noted that Pitt's two best players on offense - Ray Graham and Chris Jacobson - are both coming off season-ending knee surgeries. But if a 100% Jacobson can pull for a 100% Graham, then Pitt's last season in the Big East has a chance to be a memorable one.no comments
In Feburary, Pitt locked up local Clairton athlete Trenton Coles. Coles was undoubtedly talented, but there was some concern about a knee injury he suffered during the state championship. A torn MCL and PCL aren't really something you can overlook in a future WR/DB, especially before he even steps on campus.
If there was any doubt on whether he could come back as strong as ever, this weekend's WPIAL track championship should be a relief. The reigning 100 meter champion beat out his cousin in dramatic fashion (via the Trib):
It was a moment of suspense for the cousins, who share a bedroom. They watched as names and times appeared on a digital screen. Lane 4: Coles 10.94. Lane 5: Moody 10.95.
"I got him by a photo finish," said Coles, a senior, giving him three straight titles in the Class AA 100 meters.
But this was the most improbable victory for Coles, who needed months to recover from torn knee ligaments and expected to miss track season. Moody pushed him to return, and then pushed him to victory.
"I expected him to make it back," Moody said, "but I didn't expect him to beat me."
Congratulations to Trenton on his recovery and his big win.no comments
It's funny how things one's perception of college sports can change in such a short matter of time.
Not all that long ago, I was looking forward to Pitt playing in the ACC. There would be road trips to beautiful campuses like UVA down in Charlottesville and rekindling an old rivalry against former conference-mate Virginia Tech. The thoughts of Duke and North Carolina each coming to play at the Pete two out of every three years made me giddy like a school girl. The thought of Clemson and Florida State leaving the ACC for the Big XII was nothing more than a figment of some dude's imagination, throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.
Since, ESPN and the ACC signed a new TV contract, the Big XII and the SEC created a new bowl game, yada yada yada, my thinking has made a complete 180°.
But Bryan, you yada yada'd over the best part.
Alright, let's fill in some of those details. To do so, we need to travel back in time two weeks to take a look at where it all began.
Warning, this post approaches 2,700 words. Block out your time accordingly.no comments
We've long been fans of self-deprecating hashtag fun here at the Pitt Script Blog. But our TFW Bryan Took it a whole new level when he decided to ruin everyone's Wednesday productivity by wondering what Pitt-related stories would make a good topic for an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary.
These are the highlights:

Buried in the Tino Sunseri hysteria was maybe the real news of Andrea Adelson's piece from the ACC spring meetings (via ESPN):
Now here is a quick update on running back Ray Graham, coming off a knee injury. Chryst said Graham is "progressing" and anticipates his star back will be ready for the start of fall camp.
"The plan is he will be ready," Chryst said. "We'll have him practice. He needs it. They all need it. I'm not going to project too much until it's time. But we're planning on it. We're going full steam ahead."
Huge. Graham led the conference in rushing before his injury and should be considered the frontrunner for Big East POY if he can come back at 100%.
The conventional wisdom on ACL injuries are that they take a full year to heal. With Graham's injury occurring at the very end of September, getting him in camp at the beginning of August means he's well ahead of schedule.
Graham, Bennett, Shell, repeat. There's 75% of the offense.no comments
This really shouldn't be surprising (via ESPN Big East blog):
Chryst said Tuesday during the ACC spring meetings, "He was the best quarterback we had out of spring. That's why he's the starter."
"The biggest thing for quarterbacking is being able to do it and doing it on a consistent level," Chryst said. "That's your normal progression. He clearly was the best this spring that we had. You're aware of the history but it doesn't really matter for us. What do you have right now? It's our job to coach them and how can you help everyone get better? He's got a great opportunity. He has played in a lot of games, he does have experience. He's got room to grow. If he chooses to grow, and I know it's easier for us to say last year or two years before that doesn't matter. It matters in the sense that you should learn from all of it, positive or negative. But it doesn't matter going forward.
"Right now, if you were to say who gives you the best chance to have success, it would be him. So coach the heck out of him."
Yes, Tino was bad last season. I don't think that's debatable - poor offensive line and all. But honestly, who's going to beat him out? Both Mark Myers and Trey Anderson were all but begged to take the job away from him last season and neither could do it. Anthony Gonzalez has been moved from quarterback to just about every position out there. Chad Voytik? Only a very select few freshmen quarterbacks are able to come in and play after just one summer and I just don't see Voytik being ready right now.
The fact of it is that Pitt's quarterback situation is not ideal. Blame that on the instability. Blame it on the failure of Wannstedt to recruit better options (although his second half recruiting haul of Sunseri-Myers-Gonzolaz-Nova is pretty solid). Blame it on whatever you want, but the options right now are very limited. And three coaching staffs have all evaluated what they had and concluded Sunseri is the best option.
Chryst's job is to win games now. Tino Sunseri very well likely gives this team the best chance to win games in 2012. And that's why he's the starter.no comments

Nadia Bolz-Weber Talks Tattoos, Resurrection, and God's Disruption (video)
"That's kind of creepy."
That was Nadia Bolz-Weber's off-the-cuff, comic response to Krista telling the tattooed Lutheran pastor that she's been following her for quite some time. Every so often, Krista's interviews should be seen as much as heard. Her conversation with Nadia Bolz-Weber is one of these essential moments. (Yes, I'm biased.)
Their energy is dynamic. The enthusiasm of the crowd, palpable. Humor and laughter fills the big-top tent and infuses the conversation. And, it's what didn't make it into the produced podcast that shouldn't be missed: an interruption, a disruption that usually is an event-killer. But, somehow, in the context of the Wild Goose Festival, it became a moment of opportunity and community bonding together through communal song. What's the song? Watch and see... and sing along.
This August our production crew traveled to the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. We arranged a series of interviews with many great thinkers, including the Indigo Girls, Brian McLaren, and other folks we've had on our "big list" of guests. Nadia Bolz-Weber was also one of them. She's the pastor of the House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver, a church where a chocolate fountain, a blessing of the bicycles, and serious liturgy come together. She's a face of the Emerging Church. She's redefining what church is, with deep reverence for tradition.
This is the unedited, unabridged version of their interview, recorded with a live audience at the Wild Goose Festival in Hot Springs, North Carolina. And it's not to be missed.

Another Before and After
I'm back! I was off from work sick yesterday...again! I have a really weak immune system so once allergies kick in...I get asthma attacks and then I just get sick. On a good note, my apartment is nicely coming together. My boyfriend and I are working on the Makeup Room this weekend, yay!
Last weekend I had a client come over for makeup lessons. She was planning a trip with her husband to the Kentucky Derby and wanted to look fierce! We had a makeup lesson using a lot of her own products. I did one half of her face and she did the other. We broke it down from applying liquid eyeliner to applying lashes.
We started the lesson with a daytime look and then transformed it into evening. The look she's wearing here is her gold smokey look perfect for a night out. At the end of the makeover her skin glowed and her natural features were enhanced.

Here's What We Used:
-MAC prep and prime
-Bobbi Brown Concealer and foundation
-MAC studio fix
-MAC msf in gold deposit
-MAC blush in housewine
-MAC sculpting powder in Definitive
-soft ochre paint pot
-MAC highlight e/s color (not sure which one, she had it in a quad)
-MAC amber lights e/s
-MAC black eyeshadow with gold sparkles (not sure which one, she had it in a quad)
-client's liquid eyeliner
-Ardell 120 demis
-MAC chesnut lip liner

This weekend I am planning on recouperating and finishing decorating. I'll have my BF choose a winner for the Jan Marini face product tonight, Good luck to all that entered!

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Some Rays of Hope
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Be gloomy, be critical and be angry, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday -- just realize the stock market is "giving it all she's got," as Star Trek's Scotty would say.
It's easy to be negative on the markets, especially with our warring parties in Washington continuing the worst standoff since 1860 before the Civil War. Our politicians won't even agree to fix the problem before taking their winter vacations, said Cramer, let alone agree on any portion of a solution.
But while the markets have their eyes trained on Washington, Cramer said individual companies such as Starbucks (SBUX) are telling a different story one of growth and prosperity. He said Starbucks' analyst day had only positive things to say, including no deceleration in China.
Then there's Apple (AAPL) , a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS. Cramer said while the market pundits cited dozens of reasons for this stock's decline, there is indeed only one: capital gains taxes.
Cramer said it's reasonable to think capital gains taxes are headed higher on Jan. 1, so wouldn't it be reasonable for investors to take profits in one of the biggest gainers of all time? He said if you divide Apple's stock price by 10, you have a $57 stock falling to $53 today, and that's not all that scary when you put it into perspective.
Cramer also commented on Citigroup (C) announcing 11,000 layoffs Wednesday. He said this company's new management team is taking some tough medicine but it's needed for Citigroup to prosper, which it is starting to once again. Even Bank of America (BAC) is trading over $10 a share, Cramer added, so all can't be lost.
Executive Decision
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Drew Alexander, president and CEO of Weingarten Realty Investors (WRI) , a real estate investment trust with 301 properties in 12 states and a 4.28% dividend yield.
Alexander was upbeat on his company's business model, which focuses on supermarket-anchored shopping centers in metropolitan areas. He said these centers bring in people on a regular basis and are the most recession-resistant opportunities out there. Weingarten has both tenant diversify and geographic diversity to help it succeed.
When asked about that diversity, Alexander said that even in depressed areas like Las Vegas, people still buy groceries, eat at restaurants and get their hair cut, all of which they can do at a Weingarten shopping center. By sticking to locations with high population densities, Alexander said his company has weathered the housing bubble quite well.
Turning to the threat posed by Internet retail, Alexander was also not worried. He said the Internet does pose a threat to the margins at some retailers but others are far more immune. Many retailers are moving to a hybrid "bricks and clicks" model, he said, which is affording them the best of both worlds.

Horrigan to hold shared services forum
MAYVILLE – Local municipal leaders will soon have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's property tax freeze plan.
Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan announced he will hold an informational forum Wednesday, July 16, in Mayville to discuss the impact of shared services among municipalities as they relate to Cuomo's plan, a highly discussed portion of the state budget passed in April.
State officials and representatives from the New York State Association of Counties will be present to answer questions from 1-4 p.m. in the conference room at the Chautauqua County Office of Emergency Services, 2 Academy St., Mayville regarding the governor's plan.
The forum was previously scheduled to be held in room B10 of the Gerace Office Building but was moved to a new location to enable Dave Lucas from the New York State Association of Counties to attend the forum by video conference.
More than 40 local municipal leaders and school district officials are expected to attend the forum.
"There are a lot of details to it, and my hope is that we're going to receive some good information," Horrigan said. "It's a complex proposal and I think it's a good thing for us to bring everyone together to say 'this is what we know,' answer questions and document our shared services initiatives so we can set up a good communication channel."
Nationwide, Chautauqua County is one of the 15 highest-taxed counties in terms of property taxes paid as a percentage of home value.
According to Cuomo, this is because of the high number of local governments, of which there are 10,500 statewide.
Consolidation of Chautauqua County's 18 school districts and 44 local governments along with shared services between municipalities would help lower taxes in the future, Cuomo said.
The program will take effect over the course of two years, beginning in fiscal year 2015 for municipalities and fiscal year 2014 for schools.
In the first year, if a municipality stays below the tax cap, the state would refund property tax owners any tax increase.
For example, if a municipality experienced a 1.5 percent increase in property taxes, homeowners would receive a refund check from the state for any increase they paid over the prior year.
If the cap is exceeded, homeowners would not be eligible for refunds.
According to the budget bill, property tax cuts will be extended for a second year in jurisdictions which comply with the tax cap and have a state-approved government efficiency plan demonstrating three-year savings and efficiencies of at least 1 percent of the budget per year from shared services, cooperation agreements and/or mergers or efficiencies.
Past efficiencies, shared services and reforms in the approval process would also be considered for further savings.
This is why Horrigan said he wants to get the ball rolling.
"I don't want to wait until the last minute and then possibly miss out on some property tax relief," he said. "We want to document what we know and what we don't know so that as we move into the budget process we have the answers to our questions."
While the forum will not be open to the public, elected municipal leaders and school officials are urged to attend.
"I want to work together as a whole community to continue to provide the services our residents expect while lowering the costs of those services," Horrigan said. "I am hopeful that this first forum will lead the way for additional shared services meetings to discuss collaboration and cooperation throughout the county."
Assemblyman Andy Goodell, R-Jamestown, said he is pleased with Horrigan's initiative to develop and implement a plan to achieve long-term tax savings through shared services, cooperation agreements, mergers or other efficiencies.
"Our county has a proud tradition of cooperation, and I am confident that this process will result in significant tax savings for local residents," he said. "Reducing our overall tax burden is key to making Chautauqua County more affordable for everyone and more competitive for our local businesses."

Schools, wetland bank to get land
By CHUIN-WEI YAP
Published May 16, 2007
WESLEY CHAPEL - The Pasco school district and a wetland mitigation bank are poised to carve up the spoils of D.R. Horton's abortive deal to develop the 611-acre Grantham Ranch.
Other builders are also circling the property, a broker said.
School officials confirmed Monday they plan to buy 127 acres at the former ranch along Old Pasco Road, adding to 88 they already hold there.
"We're not technically under contract because we haven't signed yet, but there's a verbal agreement, " said Ray Gadd, the school district's chief land buyer. "We're still looking at some of the wetlands issues out there."
The plan initially was to put a high school there, Gadd said.
But the additional space has opened up possibilities of middle and elementary schools joining a "master-planned" school community at the site.
"There are also future needs that don't involve schools, " including district warehouses, bus parking and repair shops, and maintenance facilities, Gadd said.
There's not enough space for schools in central Pasco.
Many middle and high schools here are a fifth more crowded than they're supposed to be. Elementary schools like Quail Hollow and Wesley Chapel run at nearly double their capacity, according to district data.
Half of the county's school growth is in Wesley Chapel, Gadd said.
"We like that area because it's right up against the interstate, " he said.
The county also plans to expand Old Pasco Road to four lanes.
The district's tentative agreement, at $35, 000 an acre, puts the bid at $4.4-million.
Another 264 acres at the ranch are under contract to go to a mitigation bank, said Bill Buffington, the TriStar Realty broker representing sellers Nancy Grantham and Dickie Geiger.
Mitigation banks are private entities that restore and preserve wetlands, then sell wetland "credits" to anyone who needs to compensate for taking wetlands in other areas. State law created the compensation system in 1984.
Buffington declined Monday to say which bank contracted to buy the Grantham tract.
He said he is negotiating with an undisclosed number of home builders to develop the balance of the ranch.
Confidentiality deals bar him from naming them, but he said they were "larger-lot builders ...with other projects already in Pasco."
Horton, the nation's largest home builder, ended a two-year pursuit of Grantham Ranch late last year. But the rezoning Horton won for the site bolsters its appeal to future developers.
The residential project is smaller now. In 2004, Horton proposed 1, 425 homes. Last December, the County Commission approved it for 474. The latest plans may see just 380, Buffington said.
Because of fears of flooding, neighbors had fought Horton's plans. But the lower density of homes and the wetland preservation should relieve some of those concerns, Buffington said.
"We are working toward a solution that I don't see how the community could not be proud of, " he said.

Paralympic Sport Club Spotlight: Wood River Ability Program
The Wood River Ability Program, also known as Paralympic Sport Club Ketchum, has helped disabled athletes "revitalize and rejuvenate" their lives, said founder Marc Mast.
Biweekly, USParalympics.org will spotlight one of the Paralympic Sport Clubs making a difference in the Paralympic Movement. Created in 2007 by U.S. Paralympics, a division of the United States Olympic Committee, the community based Paralympic Sport Club program involves youth and adults with physical and visual disabilities in physical activity and sports in their community, regardless of skill level. The program currently has 183 active Paralympic Sport Clubs in 46 states and Washington, D.C. To find Paralympic Sport Clubs and other adaptive, disabled and Paralympic sport opportunities in your community, visit the Paralympic Resource Network.
What began as a summer trip for Marc Mast to do construction work in Sun Valley, Idaho, ended up becoming a career of reconstructing lives through the sport of skiing.
Mast had the opportunity to go out to Sun Valley in the early '90s but while he was there, he went to ski school and ended up founding the Adaptive Ski Program at Sun Valley Resort, and later, the Wood River Ability Program (WRAP).
Today, he has 30 years of skiing instruction under his belt and more than 25 years helping wounded veterans develop new skills in recreation sports.
"Sports and recreation help people heal psychologically and physically," Mast said, "and that is what we focus on."
Through adaptive skiing and other recreational sports and programs, Mast said WRAP, which is also known as Paralympic Sport Club Ketchum, helps injured U.S. military veterans and other disabled individuals "revitalize and rejuvenate" their lives.
"It's amazing how a sport like skiing can have a profound effect on people's lives, and it changes your own life," Mast said. "Everybody, I guess, has to have a purpose, and helping people out is our purpose."
Among those Mast helped are some of the nation's top Paralympic skiers, among them Muffy Davis.
In the late 1980s, Davis, then an upcoming junior ski racer, dreamed of competing in the Olympic Games. But during a practice run when she was 16, she crashed into trees and became paralyzed from the waist down.
Mast helped her get back on the slopes. And she ended up earning four medals in two trips to the Paralympic Winter Games, in 1998 in Nagano and in 2002 in Salt Lake City.
"She was an elite alpine racer before she got injured," Mast said. "I taught her how to ski in Lake Tahoe after she was injured because she told me there were no adaptive programs in [her hometown] Sun Valley."
In addition, Mast said he reaches out to military hospitals and noted that since 2006, he has worked with more than 600 veterans. Not all of those veterans have come to Sun Valley; Mast also helps veterans at other programs across the country.
Omar Bermejo, a resident athlete at the Wood River Ability Program, made his first International Paralympic Committee Nordic Skiing World Cup appearance this month in Cable, Wis.
Omar Bermejo, 31, is one veteran-turned-skier who is a resident athlete at WRAP. Bermejo served with the U.S. Marines for 10 years and lost his right arm in a June 2008 motorcycle accident after coming back from his fourth tour in Iraq.
"After my accident happened, I felt like there was no way I could go on," Bermejo said. "But, after talking to many vets in the Naval hospital in San Diego, I felt like there was a different world out there in which I could succeed and decided to never let my disability dictate who I am or what I could do."
The Grand Rapids, Mich., native said it was "pretty hard" to initially get back into all the sports he used to enjoy, but he decided to run and keep himself in shape by doing a variety of strength and stretching exercises to get used to the injury.
"It took me about two years after my accident to feel really comfortable with myself," Bermejo said.
Bermejo said he first put on skis in February 2012 at the Empire State Games, where he also was introduced to Mast and the Wood River Ability Program.
"Marc saw that I had natural talent on the sport and offered me a place to stay in Sun Valley to train full time if I wanted to get serious about the sport, to which I accepted," Bermejo said. "Without the help of WRAP, there would be zero chance I would be where I am today."
Today, Bermejo holds five gold medals from the U.S. Cross Country National Championships and has made his first International Paralympic Committee Nordic Skiing World Cup appearance earlier this month in Cable, Wis.
"The Wood River Ability Program will always have a special place in my heart since they were the first ones to offer me a chance to succeed," he said.
Marc Mast with Elitsa Storey in 2008. Through the Wood River Ability Program, Mast taught Storey how to ski.
Elitsa Storey, 25, shared similar feelings towards WRAP. Storey was born in Bulgaria, but when she was 5, she was adopted by an American family living in Sun Valley.
"When I came to the U.S., my body was really deformed due to amniotic band syndrome, and I needed extra repairs to my right leg so I could wear prosthesis," Storey said. "Once I learned how to walk and be mobile again, myself, along with four other siblings, all enjoyed sports and outdoor activities together."
Storey's parents introduced her to the skiing world, and discovered Mast at WRAP. Mast said he taught Storey how to ski when she was 7.
"I learned how to be a part of a team and how to set goals and dreams for my future," Storey said. "Throughout ski racing and the local ski team, Marc was along my side every step of the way. I still remember how I felt [in the beginning] on top of the mountains — to be free for one of the first times in my life."
Mast later introduced Storey to Muffy Davis.
"Muffy helped me in becoming a torchbearer at the 2002 Paralympics in Salt Lake City, Utah," Storey said. "I knew straight away when I saw the Opening Ceremony at those games that I wanted to be a part of it."
So at 14, Storey started to train for the Paralympic Winter Games. She made the U.S. team at age 16 and then competed at the Torino 2006 Paralympic Winter Games, notching three top-10 finishes in alpine racing. Storey qualified for the 2010 Vancouver team, but due to PCL and MCL tears in her knee, she had to pull out of most events.
"The most exciting thing for me," Mast said, "is everybody that participated in the Nordic events in Vancouver either was recruited by our program, trained with our program or helped coach our program. I'm pretty proud of that."
Said Storey, "Marc's efforts and encouragement along the way are what gave me strength to continue and to love it every step of the way."
Mast and the Wood River Ability Program continue to make a positive impact on athletes and the surrounding community every day. Most recently, the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation was officially designated as a U.S. Olympic and Paralympic training site for cross country skiing, and WRAP is the Paralympic sport provider for the official training site.
"As a non-profit, we get a lot from the community — they're always helping us out — so when we have an opportunity to help to give back to the community, I think that's also our responsibility," Mast said. "With the training site, we're hoping we can bring in millions of dollars in economic benefits to the community by bringing in more people, more athletes, conferences and races."
As a WRAP ski instructor for more than 10 years, Bob Balk said the program received the honor of being a Paralympic sport provider "simply because of the very hard work of Marc Mast."
"What Marc does is amazing," Balk said. "He is so committed and dedicated. I have no idea why he would work so hard, but to me, people like him are an inspiration. I am so happy to have an outlet for my interest in exposing new athletes to my sport which I love so much."

Speer: To what extent do we go for safety?
Which is more important to you – civil liberties or personal security?
What liberties would you sacrifice to live in a more safe and secure world? Or, would you?
Those are questions I ask groups I talk with on First Amendment issues. Since Sept. 11, 2001, those questions are ones Americans wrestle with often. After April's Boston Marathon bombing, the questions have taken on added significance again.
After 9-11, U.S. legislators enacted the Patriot Act, giving law enforcement broad, new powers that sometimes infringed on civil liberties. What might Americans expect post-Boston?
A recent Time/CNN poll revealed 61 percent of those polled were more concerned about losing civil liberties in the face of anti-terrorism actions, than the 31 percent who favored stricter measures.
This week Associated Press ran a story about police and politicians around the country pushing for more camera surveillance in public places. In the aftermath of Boston, video footage from cameras provided important details to law enforcement.
Are you willing to live with more cameras in your life?
When it comes to camera surveillance of intersections, the public has resisted. In fact, when police use those cameras to issue traffic tickets, a number of states (Iowa, Ohio and Arizona) have considered doing away with the monitoring. Still, traffic cameras give law enforcement important information of license plate and numbers of people in a vehicle. In some instances, the cameras also could provide facial recognition.
In 1949 George Orwell had published the now classic novel "1984" which talks about a "Big Brother" political system that limits free thinking and independent thought. Opponents to civil liberty limitations often refer to the book in their arguments.
Los Angeles Deputy Chief Michael Downing addressed that point somewhat in the AP story.
"Look, we don't want an occupied state," he said. "We want to be able to walk the good balance between freedom and security. If that helps prevent, deter, but also detect and create clues to who did a crime, I guess the question is can the American public tolerate that type of security."
Exactly. So I ask "Can we?"
Are we OK with more cameras monitoring our movement in public places?
Are we OK with drones monitoring your movements from the sky? The whole issue of domestic use of drones, and whether to limit their use, has been in the news a lot lately. Would they have been helpful in Boston, had they been in use?
What about dogs? For years police have used German shepherds in law enforcement efforts, but other breeds are also effective, especially in bomb detention.
Four days after the Boston bombing 71 percent of Americans polled in a Rasmussen Poll said they believe it was "at least somewhat likely" there would be another terrorist attack in the United States within the next year.
Just as disturbing, only 11 percent believed officials could make our country safe enough to thwart terrorist threats, while 75 percent believed prevention would be impossible.
In the disturbing world we live in today, personal freedoms are butting heads with national security more and more often.
If John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were here today to comment on the situation, I wonder what they'd say regarding the Constitution they crafted.

Thompson Health and the University of Rochester Medical Center are collaborating to provide excellence in pulmonary and critical care services to patients, families and care teams at Thompson Hospital.
On Aug. 5, URMC pulmonologists began treating Thompson inpatients who have issues related to the lungs and respiratory system. Previously, many of the patients with these issues had to travel to other hospitals in order to receive pulmonary services during their hospitalizations.
In addition, pulmonary and critical care consultations from URMC are more readily available to Thompson professionals now.
The new services are a result of Thompson's 2012 affiliation with URMC.
Senior Vice President of Medical Services Dr. Carlos R. Ortiz says with pulmonologists on-site on a regular basis, more bronchoscopies are expected to be performed at Thompson now. A bronchoscopy is an outpatient diagnostic procedure involving a thin fiber optic tube.
"This enhancement of services is a natural step in the affiliation and the evolution of improving local, in-hospital services, and it will benefit the community by allowing us to locally manage some of the more complicated medical cases," Dr. Ortiz says, noting the goal is for further outpatient pulmonology services in 2014.

Updated, June 12, 12:26 a.m.
Colleagues remember Morton Friedman, a longtime professor and former vice dean at the School of Engineering and Applied Science, as a mentor and a repository of knowledge about Columbia.
Friedman, who is survived by his wife Sandy, children Robert and Lori, and three grandchildren, died on Tuesday in Connecticut. He was 86.
"The passing of Professor Mort Friedman, one of Columbia Engineering's most devoted and treasured faculty members and leaders, is a deeply sad loss for SEAS and the Columbia community," SEAS Dean Mary Boyce said in an email. "Mort's laugh, his smile, and his passion for SEAS will always be remembered, and we pause today to reflect on a great colleague and a true friend to so many in SEAS and across Columbia. He was a remarkable man and I am very lucky to have known him, if only for a short time."
Friedman joined Columbia's faculty in 1956 as an assistant professor in the department of civil engineering and engineering mechanics. He went on to serve as chair of that department from 1981 to 1995.
George Deodatis, the current chair of the department of civil engineering and engineering mechanics, called Friedman one of his academic mentors. Deodatis said that on his first day as a graduate student at SEAS in 1983, Friedman invited him to his office to talk.
"He was very jovial, very engaging, smiling all the time. From the very first minute, he made me feel at home," Deodatis said. "For the next 30 years, I've realized that this is exactly who Mort Friedman was—always with an open door, a smile on his face, always ready to help, to guide, to mentor young students and faculty."
"When you were talking to him, you realized that he cared about you. He was always available and ready to help for any kind of problem," Deodatis said, adding that Friedman was known to help faculty members and students across departments.
In 1995, Donald Goldfarb, then-interim dean of SEAS, appointed Friedman to become the school's vice dean.
"Mort was really invaluable—not just as a person who knew everything about the school, but he was a very thoughtful and very fair kind of person," Goldfarb said. "He wasn't pushing his own department or discipline. What he cared about mainly was Columbia."
In his role as vice dean, Friedman oversaw changes to the school's curriculum, including adding a liberal arts minor for engineering students and revising the first-year curriculum.
During his tenure, Friedman also founded the Division of Mathematical Methods, served as the associate dean for instruction and research, and chaired the University Senate's Executive Committee.
Goldfarb said that Friedman had a wealth of knowledge about Columbia—from the inner workings of the administration to University traditions.
"He was kind of the wise old man of the school," Goldfarb said. "He sort of knew everything about Columbia—not just the engineering school."
Friedman was celebrated by SEAS in October 2012 when a conference room in the Seeley W. Mudd Building was named in his honor.
Both Goldfarb and Deodatis said that a number of faculty members were continuing to respond with memories to an email sent on Wednesday by SEAS Dean Mary Boyce announcing Friedman's passing.
"There are very few people who have served Columbia as long and as well as he had," Goldfarb said. "He was like an institution. Very few people reach that status."
"When you think of Columbia engineering, you tend to think of Mort," Goldfarb added.
Though services will be private, a public memorial is planned for the fall in St. Paul's Chapel.

Hey Guys and Girls,
Well, it seems that the amount of Canadians that have joined up on TechPB is growing, and like many other regions we too need a place to chat it up, perhaps meet some new players, and discuss the Canadian side of paintball. So this club is for the players who live in good ol' friendly Canada!
However there are a few rules that need to be followed here.
#1- You must be currently living within Canada, that means it will not count if you lived here before, or are planning on moving here. You must be a resident/citizen.
#2- Please keep on topic as best as possible, we don't want to be closed for being useless spam.

Hoping for a miracle
News flash: President Barack Obama believes in miracles. We can think of no better explanation for his final 2013 press conference.
In talking with reporters, Obama proclaimed 2014 "can be a breakthrough year for America." He was speaking of his optimism about the economy.
It is true the U.S. economy seems to be performing well, at least compared to most of the president's term in office. But hundreds of billions of dollars in "stimulus" spending by government had little or nothing to do with that.
If anything, the economy has rebounded slightly in spite of the Obama administration, not because of it. And next year may prove to be a breakdown in the family economies of tens of millions of Americans.
Already, many are finding the national health care takeover – Obamacare – is hazardous to their financial health. Millions of people have had insurance policies canceled, and been told they have to buy new, more expensive ones approved by the government.
It will get worse next fall, when the one-year delay in Obamacare compliance for businesses expires. Even government analysts predict tens of millions of working men and women will lose health care coverage provided by their employers.
Obama knows all this. So we are left to conclude that he believes in miracles – and expects a miracle to reverse the damage Obamacare is doing to the economy.

Topic: Textmate Helper Shortcut
One of my favorite Textmate niceties is when you click on a controller method and then press command+option+ down-arrow, and it takes you to the corresponding view...genius!!
Is there anything similar for when you are in a view, but want to open up a helper?
On a grander scale, is there a shortcut for me to pull up a method from anywhere in my application?

Child Welfare Workers' Knowledge and Use of a Resilience Approach in Out-of-Home Care
This paper examines child welfare workers' use of resilience-based knowledge and intervention in a public child welfare system in a county in California. The data for the study were collected from child welfare workers who worked with out-of-home care children (n= 102). Descriptive analysis including chi-square tests was carried out. Findings show that a significant majority of child welfare workers are able to correctly identify risk and protective factors that are central to the concept of resilience. Although a significant majority recognizes the importance of using a resilience-based approach, most workers without a degree in social work are not familiar with it and are not currently using it in their practice. In terms of familiarity with and in the use of resilience-based assessment and interventions, significant differences were found to exist between workers with degrees in social work and workers without degrees in social work. Implications for social work education, agency training, and practice in child welfare are discussed.

Would it make a difference if it's brewers yeast or bakers yeast for the type of Pizza I am trying to obtain, namely Neapolitan style? Is there a particular yeast that must be used to make Neapolitan style pizza?
There is no arguement that a properly fermented pizza dough with wild yeast (crisceto) would be superior to the equivalent made with commercial yeats (by the way S. Cervisae in Italy is called beer yeast, it does not mean is the one used in beer production).
Robert,I have some thoughts on your dough formulation and technique but before expressing them can you tell me where you got the recipe you posted?Peter
When you state knead time to you actually mean after the flour is fully incorporated?
I did not verify the actual kneading time but if I were to guess I would say 8 to 10 minuits. What is the recommended time and what happens when that ideal time is shortened?

OSDevCon 2009 Paper: Implementing a simple ZFS Auto-Scrub Service with SMF, RBAC, IPS and Visual Panels Integration - Lessons learned
By user13366078 on Dec 03, 2009
A while ago, I wrote a little tool that helps you keep your ZFS pools clean by automatically running regular scrubs, similar to what the OpenSolaris auto-snapshot service does.
The lessons I learned during development of this service went into an OSDevCon 2009 paper that was presented in September 2009 in Dresden. It is a nice summary of things to keep in mind when developing SMF services of your own and it includes a tutorial on writing a GUI based on the OpenSolaris Visual Panels project.
Check out the Whitepaper here, the slides here, the SMF service here and if you want to take a peek at the Service's Visual Panels Java code, you'll find it here.

Attractions and places to visit | Travel and visitor information
Situated eleven miles South West of Winchester. Area 493 hectares, with a population of nearly 13,000. Romsey developed where the routes between Southampton, Salisbury and Winchester cross the Test, the lowest point at which the river can be conveniently bridged. Here in A.D. 907 Benedictine nuns established a community and the massive Norman Abbey still dominating the town stands on the remains of their Saxon church. Romsey has been granted two Charters, one in 1607 by James I and another in 1698 by William III.
The prosperous wool trade enjoyed by the town in earlier times declined during the 19th Century but was followed by a thriving brewing industry. The swift flowing streams of the Test provided a source of energy utilised from earliest times, and at one of the remaining mills salmon can be seen leaping on their journey upstream to spawn.
There are examples of most styles of architecture in the town, and the Market Place, which dates from soon after the establishment of the Abbey, retains much of its original shape.

late Lord Mountbatten

Question: Did the dome of your oven clear (black soot burned completely off) in 2 hours? That would be really quick. That's pretty much the sign my oven's ready. I actually don't even measure initial floor temp much anymore!
John,The oven soot started to go white at the end of an hour. Per Antoine, I'm supposed to be able to hit temps within an hour? (per his website as well: http://www.breadstoneovens.com/collections/frontpage/products/oven-1030-c)Perhaps I was too stingy with the wood from the start? I definitely didn't have a raging inferno, and could easily fit in another four stack or so...I'll try again tonight with more firewood to start and see how it does. In good news, it retains heat well (350 this morning) but we'll see what it's at at 4:00 when I start refiring.
Derrick, cut a hole in the middle of a cheap Harbor Freight tarp and slip in over your dome to protect that beautiful trailer!
Doh! Wish I got the advice earlier... I'm already done with my stucco work! =)

In a bid to popularize stereoscopic 3D (S3D) Sony Computer Entertainment on Tuesday introduced a special 24" stereo-3D display with relatively affordable cost bundled with inexpensive active shutter glasses. The display is designed for PlayStation 3 gamers interested to play in S3D-supporting titles affordably.
The 3D Display (CECH-ZED1) features a 24" 1920x1080 (1080p) LCD display based on VA panel technology that adopts quad-speed frame sequential display technology that is able to minimize crosstalk distortion. The 3D Display supports several 3D formats, including "frame packing," "top and bottom" and "side by side," which will offer users various options for using 3D. The display features high contrast (5000:1), wide viewing angle (176°) high response time (4ms GTG average). The display also sports stereo 2 channel with subwoofer speakers.
The 3D Glasses come with a rechargeable lithium ion battery to enable quick and efficient charging time. A three minute charge results in three hours of use, while a 45 minute charge provides 30 hours of use.
The display will have $499.99 recommended price and will include a pair of 3D glasses that will cost $69.99 when sold separately in the U.S.. The solution has a number of advantages over competing solutions, including cost and the quality of matrix technology. For example, Nvidia Corp. sells an S3D Nvidia 3D Vision bundle with Acer GD245HQ LCD display (1080p, TN panel technology, etc.) for $628.
Sony's 3D Display will be available this fall in Japan, North America, Europe/PAL territories, and Asian countries/regions. For North America, the 3D Display comes bundled with 3D glasses, an HDMI cable and the highly anticipated Resistance 3 title from Insomniac Games for PlayStation 3.

Land O'Lakes manages only two hits against Ashley Stubbs.
By TERRY JONES
Published May 2, 2007
LITHIA - With a decisive 7-1 victory over a normally hard-hitting Land O'Lakes team, Newsome earned its first berth in the state final four.
Newsome put Land O' Lakes on its heels with a five-run second.
Meghan Schultz started the rally by beating out a throw to first after striking out but getting a passed ball. Ally Ledenham followed with a base on balls to put runners on first and second with no outs.
Newsome pitcher Ashley Stubbs hit a long drive almost to the centerfield fence and the ball was bobbled, allowing all three runners to score.
After an out, Danielle Garcia walked to first and moved to third on a pair of errors that put Laura Lovell on second. Dani Perera singled to drive Garcia home and Jamie O'Hara hit a sacrifice fly to deep left to push Lovell across for a 5-0 lead.
Newsome added runs in the fourth and sixth for the win.
"It seems like few teams took us serious this year, so maybe we are a Cinderella team, " Newsome coach Jessica Kowal said. "Our bats were solid again tonight, and Ashley did a super job for us on the mound.
In her last two starts, Stubbs (13-4) shut out the defending state champs from Auburndale and held a potent Gator team to two hits and an unearned run.
"I heard what a hard-hitting team Land O' Lakes has and I was nervous, " Stubbs said. "But this is our home field, and I made up my mind we should be in control."

These cleansing wipes list alcohol as the second ingredient, which doesn't deep clean skin as much as it causes dryness, irritation, and free-radical damage. This much alcohol can also stimulate more oil production at the base of your pores, making oily skin oilier! If that wasn't enough bad news, Neutrogena also adds menthol for a second wave of irritation. This skin-disaster duo makes these wipes a must to avoid, at least if you're concerned about keeping your skin healthy and youthful.
Claims: Ultra soft, pre-moistened wipes effectively and gently sweep away make-up, dirt, and oil to reveal clean, fresh skin.
Water, SD Alcohol 40-B, Butylene Glycol, Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Salicylic Acid, Cocamidopropyl Pg-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Peg/Ppg-20/6 Dimethicone, Polysorbate 20, Ppg-5-Ceteth-20, C12-15 Alkyl Lactate, Disodium Edta, Menthol, Sodium Hydroxide, Benzalkonium Chloride, Parfum
Neutrogena At-A-Glance:
Strengths: Inexpensive; some superior water-soluble cleansers; good topical scrubs; effective AHA and BHA products; several retinol options, all in stable packaging; vast selection of sunscreens, most of which offer excellent UVA protection; good variety of self-tanning products; several fragrance-free options; most Healthy Skin products are state-of-the-art; almost all of the foundations with sunscreen provide sufficient UVA protection; the Moistureshine Gloss.
Weaknesses: An overabundance of overlapping anti-aging products that is perennially confusing for consumers; Bar soap; most of the toners are irritating or boring; a handful of bland moisturizers and eye creams; some sunscreens lack sufficient UVA protection or contain too much alcohol or problematic preservatives; most of the Deep Clean products are terrible; no effective skin-lightening products; jar packaging; mostly disappointing concealers and eyeshadows; most of the lip balms with sunscreen provide inadequate UVA protection; mostly poor mascaras.
Neutrogena is one of few brands that have an equally large presence in both the U.S. and in Canada. Unfortunately, many of the formulas and product names that Neutrogena uses are not interchangeable between the two countries, a fact that has been brought to our attention by our astute Canadian readers (who make up about 10% of our Beautypedia readership). In an effort to clear up a lot of the confusion surrounding Neutrogena Canada products, The Cosmetics Cop Team has done research in Canadian drugstores to determine the ingredients and product names as they appear on Neutrogena's Canadian packaging.
Please note that if a product does not appear on this list, it means that, to the best of our knowledge, that product has the same name and formula in the U.S. as it does in Canada. You'll find the reviews for such products under the main Neutrogena brand. That overlap means Canadian readers may find they have to switch between both Neutrogena and Neutrogena Canada to locate the product review they're seeking, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
In some cases the differences between the U.S. and Canadian version of a Neutrogena product is only an ingredient or two, and in other cases the entire formula is different. Despite The Cosmetics Cop Team best efforts, there are no doubt products that have been overlooked on this list. As much as we would like it to be comprehensive, we are restricted by what is on store shelves at the time we conduct our research. If you have any additional information about Neutrogena Canada products, we encourage you to contact us using the link at the bottom of the product's review page.

Similar in feel to the best-selling Thirsties Diaper Cover, Thirsties® Duo Wraps are completely waterproof yet remain breathable, pliable, and very comfortable for your baby's delicate skin. Durable hook and loop closures provide a perfect and secure fit at every diaper change. Leg gussets provide advanced leak-proof protection and bindings are super-soft against baby skin. All sizes offer convenient fold-over laundry tabs to protect your hook and loop closures from trapping lint in the wash.
Thirsties® Duo Wraps are a result of more than six months of development and testing.
Thirsties® Duo Wraps are a very trim fitting cover. They are the preferred wrap for trifolded prefold diapers and over trim fitted diapers, such as our Fab Fitted diapers. For bulkier systems and/or for nighttime double stuffing, we recommend Thirsties® Diaper Cover, which has a roomier fit.
Each of the two sizes of Thirsties® Duo Wrap features three rows of snaps to adjust the rise to your baby's shape; it is like having THREE sizes in one. Pairing this adjustability in rise with Thirsties signature leg gussets, makes this wrap the most versatile on the market.

Dear Colleague,
Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses (RAEI) is an international Journal
of English Studies published annually since 1988 by the University of
Alicante (Spain). Although many of its volumes deal with miscellaneous
topics of interest for researchers in English Studies, it has also
published several special issues on English language teaching (1991),
Anglo-Irish literature (1992), relevance theory (1998), pragmatics and
translation (2001), new literatures in English (2003) and linguistics and
the media (2006).
RAEI is currently preparing another special issue on New Trends in
Cross-Cultural Communication Studies edited by Dr. Victoria Guillén, Dr.
Chelo Vargas and Judith Williams from the University of Alicante. We would
like to invite scholars who are doing research in this field to participate
in this interdisciplinary volume which is due to appear in December 2008.
New Trends in Cross-Cultural Communication will cover six broad areas:
1. Social anthropology and cross-cultural communication.
2. Social psychology and cross-cultural communication.
3. Pragmalinguistics and cross-cultural communication.
4. Interlanguage pragmatics.
5. Social etiquette and non-verbal communication in cross-cultural studies.
6. Information technologies and computer simulation for cross-cultural
