Seagate Technology did not only cancel all the negotiations about going private with private equity firms, but also rejected a takeover proposal from its arch-rival Western Digital, according to market rumours. The combination could have created the world's largest maker of hard disk drives (HDDs) with over 60% market share, the Intel Corp. of the storage market.
TPG Capital, a private equity firm, reportedly offered Seagate's shareholders over $7.5 billion for the company, which was a more or less fair deal, given the market capitalization of around $6.5 billion in late November. But Western Digital proposed to pay 10% to 50% more than TPG, according to Bloomberg news-agency, which cites its sources with knowledge of the matter.
The combination of Seagate and WD would have created the Intel of the hard drive industry with over 60% unit and value market shares, provided that the companies could integrate properly into each other. Unfortunately, the newly-formed company would have run into problems with antitrust organizations around the world and the consolidated HDD giant would have also experienced issues with overlapping product lines.
"There's way too much product overlap, and I'm not sure the premium would be meaningful enough to make it worth it. I think they have to make a go of it on their own," said Ashok Kumar, an analyst at Rodman & Renshaw LLC.
In fact, consolidation of hard drive companies may not be the most important thing for manufacturers of hard drives. Solid-state drives (SSDs) are getting more affordable and suppliers of SSDs are getting more powerful. As a result, many of such companies can not only offer high-quality flash-based drives for enterprise customers, but also develop technologies that will make those SSDs even more reliable. This is a direct threat for lucrative enterprise HDD businesses of all the manufacturers. Moreover, as the demand towards personal computers increases, hard drive makers may need to concentrate on every-day management rather than on potential consolidation.
"The consolidation wave has run its course. The only thing that will keep pricing stable and profits moving in the right direction is more rational production levels," said Mr. Kumar.
Neither Seagate nor Western Digital commented on the news-story.

Have you ever wanted to travel back in time?
"Safety Not Guaranteed" is a hilarious and heartfelt tale about how we'd all like to go back in time and erase the loneliness and regret that can plague our lives.
A film inspired by an actual classified ad seeking a time-traveling partner — "Must bring your own weapons" — is not necessarily the most ideal premise. But damn does it work, thanks to the careful work by big-screen first-timers Derek Connolly (writer) and Colin Trevorrow (director).
A trio of television up-and-comers — Aubrey Plaza ("Parks & Recreation"), Mark Duplass ("The League") and Jake Johnson ("New Girl") — are mildly recognizable commodities. Duplass isn't really a newcomer to those familiar with indie films; he's the writer/director behind "The Puffy Chair," "Cyrus," and "Jeff, Who Lives at Home."
Duplass drives the narrative here as Kenneth, the man who posted the classified ad looking for someone to travel back in time with him. The ad sparks the interest of Seattle Weekly reporter Jeff (Johnson). Jeff feels there's a story behind the ad, and he pitches it to his editors with just enough gusto to wrangle "the lesbian and the Indian" interns, Darius (Plaza) and Arnau (Karan Soni), for help.
While Darius is an office peon and loner who still lives at home, her role as the unwitting hero of "Safety Not Guaranteed" couldn't be more crucial. I know this is a little indie flick that will be completely forgotten by the time awards season rolls around, but this is Plaza's breakout role.
Her performance as the sardonic yet vulnerable Darius couldn't be better. Plaza absolutely nails the girl-grasping-for-something-great-while-pushing-it-away-with-the-other-hand idea, and it's utterly heartbreaking at times. She also offers the April snark "Parks & Recreation" fans know so well, but it mostly is just her tough exterior.
Darius becomes intrigued by Kenneth's combination of sad yet optimistic oddballness while doing most of the "investigative reporting" for Jeff's feature, and the narrative literally takes flight. Duplass' subtle, uncomfortable humor (it's what Zach Galifianakis wishes he could do) is well balanced by Plaza's sincerity. I could watch this twosome banter for hours.
The most pleasant surprise of the film is Johnson's Jeff. The character isn't as well-constructed as Kenneth or Darius are, but his arc becomes a wonderful little side plot. Jeff is your basic materialistic horn-dog — the main reason he wants to write the piece on Kenneth is because it offers the chance to check on a hottie he hooked up with years ago — but Johnson plays it with enough charm and humor that you root for him anyway.
There are big-budget summer movies out right now that will be grabbing people's attention, and Wes Anderson's latest, "Moonrise Kingdom," is a direct competitor audience-wise, but don't skip this movie. The superb screenwriting and endearing performance make "Safety Not Guaranteed" a guaranteed winner.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (April 18, 2012) – The U.S. men's beach volleyball team of Brad Keenan and John Mayer won two qualifying matches on Wednesday to advance to the main draw of the Brasilia Open in Brazil, the opening event of the 2012 FIVB SWATCH World Tour.
Meanwhile, the top-seeded team of Misty May-Treanor (Santa Monica, Calif.) and Kerri Walsh (San Jose, Calif.) is the only U.S. women's duo still playing in the tournament, despite a fourth-round loss on Wednesday.
Keenan (Westminster, Calif.) and Mayer (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), ranked ninth in qualifying, got a first-round bye and defeated Canada's 24th-ranked Matt Zbyszewski and Chaim Schalk in the second round, 21-16, 21-17 in 30 minutes.
In the third round, Keenan and Mayer topped Brazil's 25th-seeded Roberto Pitta and Francisco Felipe Martins Rodrigues, 21-17, 18-21, 15-7 in 49 minutes.
"I'm very happy and excited with these results," Keenan said in an FIVB press release. "This is our first time in a World Tour event as a team and we got to the main draw after two tough games in the qualifier and that was after having to go through another hard country quota match on Tuesday.
"This is my fourth year in Brazil but for my partner, it is his first time and the sun sometimes hits really hard. But now we will focus on the next matches and enjoy the moment, even if it is just for the moment."
The men's main draw begins on Thursday. Along with Keenan and Mayer, the U.S. teams of Phil Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.)/Todd Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.), Matt Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.)/Nick Lucena (Santa Barbara, Calif.) and Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah)/Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.) are set to compete.
In the women's event, May-Treanor and Walsh won their third-round match over Germany's ninth-seeded Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig, 18-21, 21-14, 15-12 in 53 minutes. However the U.S. team fell in the fourth round to Brazil's fourth-ranked Talita Da Rocha Antunes and Maria Antonelli, 21-18, 21-17 in 34 minutes.
May-Treanor and Walsh will play Thursday in the consolation bracket, where they will await the winner of the match between Brazil's No. 2 seeded Larissa França and Juliana Felisberta Da Silva and Netherlands' 31st-ranked Madelein Meppelink and Sophie van Gestel.
Fifth-seeded Jen Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) lost their third-round match to Brazil's Antunes and Antonelli, 21-18, 19-21, 15-11 in 50 minutes. In consolation, Kessy and Ross fell to Netherlands' eighth-ranked Sanne Keizer and Marleen Van Iersel, 21-12, 15-21, 15-10 in 46 minutes. The U.S. pair finish tied for ninth.
Lauren Fendrick (Carlsbad, Calif.) and Brooke Hanson (Woodland Hills, Calif.), ranked 13th, lost their consolation match Wednesday to Australia's 19th-ranked Louise Bawden and Becchara Palmer, 13-21, 21-17, 15-11 in 49 minutes. They finish the tournament tied for 17th.
The women's semifinals will be played Thursday with the finals on Friday.
Complete information about the FIVB World Tour is available on the FIVB web site.

I was disappointed with the comment, but I'd expect nothing else from Paul or most any wealthy celebrity, so I'll get over it. He can like Obama all he wants, but I think the slam on Bush (no great hero of mine, either) was unnecessary and besmirched Paul more than it did Bush. Paul bemoans the oil spill, but what has his hero Obama done about it in the past two months beyond blaming BP? Blame BP later, but command resources you have at hand as "leader" of the free world to contain the ecological impact of this disaster. At a time when leadership is needed, he's had nothing to offer. The governor of Louisiana was begging for required permits to deploy a plan to protect the local marshlands from the spill, but the administration dragged its feet DOWNLOAD.
Come Paul, you care passionately about the environment. Have you been paying attention to Barack's golf scores and vacations while the oil slick spreads? DOWNLOAD. For the White House, this is not an ecological emergency, it is a PR issue to be managed. You had a perfect opportunity to spur Obama to take more decisive action on this spill, but you decided instead waste it with a cheap shot at a president who's been gone now for 18 months. If Bush was still president, you'd tear him a new one over this and rightfully so. Enjoy Obama while you have him Paul. 2012 approaches and a growing majority in the US have had enough of this Jimmy Carter redux. I will always love you Paul, you've given me too much to ever change that. But I really could do without more of the political and veggie mantra. Remember what a wise man once said about too many people preaching practices.
WOAH! This is going too far into politics! Go ahead all you want but let it be known to everyone that this was not what I was aiming for when I posted this first.
P.S. I personally enjoy Palin to a point, but being objective, she wouldn't win an election against the President.

Polokwane - Polokwane residents poured into the streets on Tuesday to celebrate with Ludwick Mamabolo, who returned home after winning the Comrades Marathon in Durban at the weekend.
A convoy about 100m in length stretched along the streets, with blue-light vehicles leading the way.
Mamabolo became the first South African winner of the annual ultra-marathon in seven years when he won the 89km race on Sunday.
"I am very happy he did it. We are [all] Mamabolo's today," said one resident who abandoned her shopping to join the celebration.
People sang at the office of premier Cassel Mathale where Mamabolo received a trophy from the provincial government.
Mamabolo's father, Jeremiah, said his son had changed their lives.
"We have seen visitors [with] TV cameras," said Jeremiah Mamabolo.
"People don't [usually] stop to visit and wish us well."
He said his son had been a keen sportsman from a young age, playing soccer and competing in road running events.
The street leading to Mathale's office was blocked for nearly three hours during celebrations.

Schumer hikes awareness of loan forgiveness programs
They may not know it, but more than 17,000 Chautauqua County public service employees may be eligible for student loan forgiveness.
In a Wednesday conference call, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer called upon the Department of Education and the Department of Labor to raise awareness about loan forgiveness and repayment plans – of which he said the majority of the working population is unaware.
According to Schumer, approximately 25 percent of the American workforce is eligible to participate in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness plan, which entitles recent graduates performing entry level jobs in professions such as teachers, police, firefighters, nurses and soldiers to two-fold benefits. Firstly, qualified employees in the field can reduce their monthly student loan payment to 15 percent of their discretionary income. Secondly, after 10 years of payments, qualifying student loans will be completely forgiven.
Another option, Schumer said, is the "Pay As You Earn" program, which allows students who have graduated in or after 2011 to reduce their payments to 10 percent.
"The problem is, hardly anyone knows of this program," Schumer said. "Of 1.6 million (American workers) who are eligible (for Pay As You Earn), only 40,000 are taking advantage. In New York, that would mean there are hundreds of thousands of people now who are eligible for these programs. Anyone who works in government or nonprofit organizations is eligible for these plans; with the only caveat being if you're starting off getting paid a high income, like more than $100,000."
According to data acquired by the state Department of Labor, Chautauqua County is home to 7,638 employees in the public health sector, 685 in public education and 8,834 in government positions who are eligible for these programs.
Schumer said the federal government must do more to require employers in the public service sector to notify employees of this benefit. He said this would help to reduce the ever-growing student loan debt in the U.S., as well as encourage graduates to seek work in these lower paying, but critical jobs.
"The bottom line is too many graduates don't realize they're entitled to federal loan repayment programs," Schumer said. "We need to do all we can to ensure that today's workforce, and those who join it, know about this program."
In a letter to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez, Schumer made three recommendations to public service sector employers in order to educate employees on their prospective eligibility.
The first recommendation was that the written form to enroll employees into the student loan forgiveness program and income-based repayment program should be included in existing federal benefit packages provided to employees in public service jobs. Schumer also said employers should provide partially completed certification forms to existing employees annually and upon separation, and an employer's payroll processing provider could generate these forms when sending IRS W-2s annually. The third suggestion was that employers in the public sector appoint a human resource team member in charge of helping employees, and certify employees so they can track their repayment process in tandem with their workplace. This process would be free to employers, and would begin the process of tackling their employees' student loan debt issues.
Only federal direct loans, those originated by the Department of Education, qualify for forgiveness under the program. However, a borrower with other federal student loans – such as federally guaranteed student loans originated under Federal Family Educational Loan – can consolidate these federal loans into a new direct loan to qualify.
For more information and materials on determining eligibility for the loan forgiveness programs, visit Schumer's website at www.schumer.senate.gov.

Answer by Mrs Jeanine Jue
Hi Ashley, I'm so sorry to hear about your illness. Software engineering would be the perfect field for you giving you opportunities to work from home. For example, I have done contracting work on the side for iOS development and Web application development. Although some companies are outsourcing, they would prefer working with someone in the US then outsource the rest of the work overseas. I'm not familiar with other areas of engineering - but in the software sector this is definitely a possibility. Are you passionate about writing code and developing applications whether it be web applications using Ruby on Rails or iPhone/iPad applications using iOS? Remember, if the passion is not there, then it will be more challenging. I love writing code. I also love managing teams of engineers. In my opinion, when you write your first application (for example, an iPhone application), you code it, you build it and you see it run on an iPhone, it is such a great feeling thinking that Hey, I built that!. Feel free to contact me if you would like additional information. Many blessings to you! Kindest regards, Jeanine Swatton

* I think Spring has arrived a little early here in our part of UK, we've had some beautiful days filled with warm sunshine we even saw a butterfly in our garden yesterday, you'd think we were headed for Summer and not Spring! I'm loving the warm air so I hope it stay's around. The day's are getting longer too, I love the extra hours of light.
* At our farmers market we spied some beautiful tulips that we couldn't resist buying.

If you follow me on Instagram you'll of seen them already. We bought three bunches, a light pink bunch, a peachy yellow bunch and a pinky orange bunch. All the stunning shades blend perfectly together.
* It's a special someone's birthday at the end of the month and his birthday treat of choice is a cheesecake. I've never made cheesecake before. I tried a sticky toffee baked cheesecake the other week and it was a disaster. It tasted horrible and it wouldn't budge out of it's tin, then when it did finally break free it collapsed in my hands! We could only stand there and laugh. So cheesecake two was the total opposite. Pure cheesecake heaven!! It tasted amazing! Totally amazing! My partner told me to put it in the freezer and oh my, frozen cheesecake is a must, it's like ice cream but cheesecake ice cream. I need to make a cheesecake themed ice cream I think. We had to throw it away to avoid eating the whole thing in one go, it's that good! Best cheesecake ever. I'll share the recipe with you guy's when I make it next. It's need multiple re-makes just to soothe my new found cheesecake addiction!
* I've finally started my Easter baking with two themed treats being made this past weekend. Both were a big success, I really can't wait to share them with you.

The Creators Project: How would you describe Amusement to a potential non-French reader?
Abdel Bounane: Amusement is the first lifestyle magazine about digital entertainment. We cover the ever-evolving world of gaming, new technologies, gadgets, TV shows, and what we usually refer to as "nerd culture." We use the term "digital entertainment" and not simply "video games" because I think video games are only the most obvious part of the much larger realm of interactive entertainment, which can apply to every form of contemporary culture. The concept of "gaming" is way too associated with products we all know about already. It is also a little too childish to me. To me, the impact of videogames is the same as the impact of video on mass culture a century ago. Another way to look at it is that we use interactive culture as a sort of prism to see the contemporary world in the same way that women's magazines use fashion.
Tell us your plans for Amusement and other projects you're working on this year.
I'd like to launch an English version of it later this year. Apart from that, I'm looking to open a 250m x 250m digital concept store in the heart of Paris. It will be part of the concept-store de La Gaité (www.gaite-lyrique.net), a gigantic 8,000 square-meter space devoted to digital culture, which is going to open at the end of next year. The shop I'm going to manage will be a new idea in the digital world: There will be a mix of unknown, obscure gadgets, some clever products designed by nerds, a kind of a showroom about technology products, random digital services, exhibitions of digital artists, and an unthinkable game center.
Gamer culture is a big part of your magazine. Do you remember the first time you played a video game?
According to my mother, it was when I knocked on her belly while she was playing Pong. But I touched my first pad when I was eight. It was Rick Dangerous on Atari ST, a platform game starring an Indiana Jones-type character who screamed when he died. It's rather hard to recall, but I know I was addicted to the game for hours because of the nice graphics it had for that time.
How did the media and advertisers outside of the interactive entertainment and video game bubble react to Amusement when it first launched?
If I would have launched Amusement five years ago, the magazine would have been dead after two or three issues, I guess. But, since then, the internet has changed everything. Both PlayStation 3 and Wii have caused entire families to become gamers, and the nerds have acquired creative and cultural power. So media and advertisers have finally begun to understand that it would be "cool" if they could be associated with this geek nation, as they did with all types of street culture in the late 90s.

Beatles superstar Paul McCartney and his new wife Nancy Shevell were married over the weekend in London, England, in one of the most exciting celebrity weddings of the year. While this wedding didn't get as much press as another English wedding earlier in the year, Shevell still provided some interesting tops for brides-to-be everywhere, according to DailyGlow.com.
Shevell followed the advice of makeup artists the world over by keeping her cosmetics light and fresh to create a youthful appearance. She went for subtlety in her wedding ensemble by using a combination of concealer and nude eyeshadow on her lids and made sure that her eyebrows were arched and perfect for the occasion.

PBA TV episodes are entertaining despite lack of live shows
Today's column has been two months in the making – at least it's been stewing in the back of my mind for that long.
I wanted to comment on a couple of TV shows from the Pro Bowlers Tour back in early January, but all the good bowling that's been going on in the area has gotten in the way.
Mind you, though, I'm happy for all of our local bowlers, and besides, it takes a lot of stress away from me knowing I have a ready-made topic every week.
With that said, I figured you wouldn't just want to read about something that happened nearly two months ago. At least that's when it was shown on TV.
Hopefully you've had a chance to catch the pros on ESPN at least once or twice on Sunday afternoons since they restarted – on my birthday! – back in December.
Most of the shows are taped, and yes, that is a bit of a turnoff, but it seems once you get into them, at least I tend to forget that part.
Last Sunday's show was compelling – and live for once – as it was the U.S. Bowling Congress Masters in New Jersey.
Hometown PBA Hall of Famer Parker Bohn III was the darling of the crowd, especially since he's become the PBA ambassador of his generation like the late Dick Weber had been.
In fact, Bohn was part of my original column idea, since he won at age 49 in January for his first win in more than four years.
Last week, Bohn got breaks in his opening match before he was dethroned by another "missing in action" pro – Wes Malott – who dominated the tour four years ago.
Malott chalked up two match-play wins before Australian two-hander Jason Belmonte struck out in the 10th frame to beat Malott in the title match, 258-245.
Belmonte's final-frame turkey forced Malott to do the same thing when he came up in the 10th to win by one pin, and while Malott got a fantastic break for the first strike, he went through the nose on try No. 2.
It's just the kind of drama you're looking for out of these guys.
Back in January, though, it was really stirring to first see Tom Daugherty and then Bohn pick up wins in back-to-back weeks.
Daugherty was the guy who bowled the worst televised game in PBA history – an even 100 – in 2011.
He showed a lot of grace at that time, but you had to know he was hurting. I can tell you that I know what it feels like to do that bad when everyone's attention is on you, and I doubt I was described as "graceful" even though the number of people watching numbered about a dozen, not a million or more like it was for Daugherty.
First, it was great to see Daugherty make it back on TV, then when he won three matches for the title, well, I'm only slightly embarrassed to say I had goose bumps on the back of my neck seeing his elation.
A week later, Bohn had to start at the bottom and needed to beat four opponents. And he did it, beating the likes of Belmonte, Sean Rash and Rhino Page, all big guns on tour.
Right then, I thought, "I got to get that in my column this week," and well, it's finally happened.
By the way, the PBA is on at 3 p.m. Sunday, then takes two weeks off because of March Madness college basketball, and has three more Sundays before wrapping up coverage this season. The first telecast after the break is at 1 p.m. on March 24.
Now on to The Mining Journal Bowlers of the Week, two weeks worth in fact:
Two weeks ago was a battle of titans for the men's honor, with Glenn Ayotte and his 835 in the Country Lanes Superior Iron Range Federal Credit Union League I featured a week ago putting him 187 over his 216 average, just beating out David Lancour's plus-178 effort in the Tuesday Miller Genuine Draft Major, also at Country. With a 188 average, Lancour shot 742 with a 279 high.
In third was a nice 153 over his 182 average by Jared Kontio in the Country Friday Nite Mixed with 699 and 246 game.
For the women, Stacy Filizetti was 88 over her 141 average in the Friday Nite Mixed with 511 with 152, 192 and 167. Next was Pamela Skytta in the same league, 70 over her 120 mean with 430 and a 159.
Last week, Bradley Havel shot 160 over his 139 average in the MGD Major with 577 on 190, 197 and 190. Next was Ray Rivord at 107 over his 197 average in the Wednesday Industrial at Superior Lanes with 698, including 277.
For the ladies, Brenda Carlson zoomed past her 184 average by 119 pins with 671 on 224, 255 and 192 in the Friday Nite Mixed, and runner-up was Hope Virch at 104 over her 187 average with 665 and 228 in the Wednesday Industrial.

my new fave for liver support
Posted by Reviewer3303538 on Dec 04, 2013
I used to buy a different product for liver support, but I feel that capsules make for better absorption (always buy products with veggie caps, do not accept nasty gelatin capsules from any company!). This product has a good spectrum of fine liver support herbs and nutraceuticals, the two key ingredients being more absorbable Silymarin (the queen of liver herbs; actually helps regenerate liver cells) and Picrorizha Kurroa, the "hangover" herb that doesn't need to be just for alcohol detox; even those of us who don't drink much can benefit from its highly protective, liver-metabolism-aiding properties. I take two a day, one in morning and one at night, and when I support my liver this way, I have less GI distress and less sluggishness in general.
très bon produit
Posted by 5047278386298878848 on Apr 25, 2013
j'ai acheté ce produit car je voulais un nettoyage de mon foie car j'avais un teint terne, de l'acnée et j'étais souvent nauséeuse après un repas, d'ailleurs, j'avais un traitement medical pour cela, et j'ai même fait une fibroscopie, mais le problème ne venait pas de là le jour où j'ai pris ces gelules mes boutons on disparus, mon teint était beaucoup mieux, mes nausées ont disparus ce produit a été efficace pour mon foie je vous recommande ce produit
Works like a charm
Posted by Reviewer3201586 on Jul 02, 2008
No, it's not good to party hardy but if you know you're going to, take a few of these FIRST and there is no hangover. It seriously works for me anyway. Also makes most of my PMS/menstrual cycle symptoms disappear since the liver breaks down estrogen and it can use help at that time of the month too.
Best Liver Formulation
Posted by Reviewer1314434 on Oct 13, 2007
I have taken numerous herbal and homeopathic combinations for years, but none works as deeply and efficiently as this.
liver detox
Posted by Reviewer1759556 on Apr 26, 2008
this product works great for liver detox! it starts working with the 1st pill taken. it will change the odor of your urine. that is a good way of knowing it is working. that is your liver expelling all the nasty stuff! take it from a guy who used to drink like a fish & had a 10 year history with steroids; you will feel much better!
Posted by Reviewer2222426 on Jul 23, 2009
i have used this product for years love it
Posted by Reviewer1022120 on Jan 30, 2009
I've used these for quite a while and it's true, they are magic pills for curing hangovers. I take them everyday and when I party, I up the dosage.
Best Liver Formula I've Tried
Posted by Reviewer2221603 on Jun 12, 2010
My naturopathic doctor recommended that I continue on this product after reading the ingredients. I take 2/day as necessary but usually 1/day for maintenance.
Lifesaver for me
Posted by Reviewer2234627 on Feb 01, 2013
This stuff help me a lot with bad symptoms of IBS, must have.
Excellent product.
Posted by 5680244445204684826 on Jun 13, 2014
Love the combo of ingredients - the Silymarin (milk thistle active ingredient), N-Acetyl-Cysteine, and Alpha Lipoic Acid are all excellent for Hep C. I take 2 capsules with breakfast, and 2 with lunch. My body seems to love this product. My liver biopsy results continually show no progression of disease.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 18 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Devin22 Good Deal Has everything you need for on the go. I needed this kit for a deep cut on a friends leg and it did the job. Good for the money. November 25, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by LOVE2travel Good travel first aid kit We purchased this for an upcoming road trip and thought it was the perfect size for our backpack. August 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Judy Has what is needed. With summer coming I like to have a first aid kit on hand for minor injuries. Whether at the park or at the lake a first aid kit is always needed especially if you have children or elderly people around. June 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Prettygirlmeka Great item! We did end up using this and it was very handy. I would totally recommend buying this if you are going camping. August 11, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by Bronco This product was ok. It needs better first aid adhesive tape (white) for putting on the gauze and it can include a small tube of Neosporin for fighting any further infection. For the most part there was much included minus what I've mentioned. August 4, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by scoutparent1 most of what we needed Great size for scouting. missing a few items for the requirements, had to buy separate, mole skin, hand sanitizer. March 10, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Happy Camper Good to have on hand... Nice first aid kit for the price; only thing it is lacking is a first aid ointment. We had a need for first aid when camping and the bandaids and gauze was great to have on hand but I would have liked to have some neosporin or similar product but there was only alcohol wipes which would sting ~ this would be hard to use on a kid! Other than that the kit is complete. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by DirtyMikeandtheboys Complete First Aid Kit for Camping/Hiking Great little kit for the price, comes with extras of almost everything so you can use it over and over. I have yet to need to break this out (knock on wood), but know I will be prepared in the event of any kinds of cuts or scrapes. The carrying case is sturdy with a convenient clip that I use to clip to my backpack. Overall very good for basic first aid. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by me I suspect this feature was all that he needed to survive, in the woods. All of the items purchased that day was for my great grandson, who attends St. Benedicts High School, in Newark, NJ. There is a trip students must engage during the freshman year. He has not complained about any of the merchandise, therefore I suspect it was all great. May 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by scouter Lifeline 85 piece first aid kit. good value for the money. Not bulky. Good for weekend camp. May 6, 2014

Falconer Grad Turns Heads In Army
Regardless of the test, PFC Scott Roberts has always made sure he's prepared for it.
Roberts, a 2011 Falconer graduate, is turning heads with his high scores on his military fitness tests.
He is described as an excellent student by his parents, who are proud of all the hard work he is doing in the military, as well as the hard work he put in to prepare him for the military.
"Scott was an A student and excelled in all of his classes at Falconer," said Kim Roberts, Scott's mother.
"He was the starting catcher for his Little League team, as well as Babe Ruth, JV and varsity. He also played basketball, and played both offensive and defensive positions for JV and varsity football. In November of his senior year, Scott enlisted in the Army at the age of 17."
After enlisting in the Army, Roberts took several college courses during his senior year, which earned him promotion points that led to starting basic training at a rank of PFC instead of PV 1 or 2.
On Aug. 2, 2011, he left for basic training in Fort Benning, Ga. On Dec. 10, 2011, he graduated as a Cav. Scout. However, he also earned a very rare honor during that time.
"He was selected to receive The Draper Armor Leadership Training Award," said Mrs. Roberts.
"It is quite an honor to receive this award, and includes a round of very difficult oral questioning in front of a panel of high-ranking Army officers, as well as strenuous physical qualifications. There is only one recipient of this award out of all the soldiers in his cycle."
Additionally, Roberts received a Certificate of Achievement for placement in the Excellence in Armor Program, the First Soldier in Cycle award and the Army Fitness Badge, for scoring a 299 out of 300 on his physical fitness test.
"Scott excelled in basic training and was platoon leader for most of his cycle," said Mrs. Roberts. "After graduation, the soldiers attended an awards dinner. High-ranking officers have personalized 'challenge coins' they present to soldiers who have excelled and shown exceptional leadership skills, a high level of physical fitness and demonstrated the ability to learn and perform tasks expected of soldiers at a higher grade level. It is rare for soldiers to receive these coins. However, Scott received four from officers attending the dinner."
Recently, Roberts was stationed with the Rakkasans, 101st Airborne at Fort Campbell, Ky.
He participated in a "Spur Ride," which is a three-day exercise and a tradition for Cav. Scouts. Upon completion, he earned his silver spurs, along with 76 out of 188 Cav. Scouts who participated.
The Rakkasans also took part in a month-long pre-deployment training at Fort Polk, La.
Roberts and his battle buddies were complimented by an Army general who said they were the most well-trained, well-functioning team he had ever seen in his 25-year career.
Roberts is currently deployed to COP Wilderness in Afghanistan, and is scheduled to return home after his tour is over in June.

Crafting a Final Resting Place (video)
"When I'm out here by myself early in the morning or in the middle of the night, I can get a sense of how work is love made visible."
Marcus Daly is a maker of wood coffins, a craftsman who contemplates the human condition through the building of simple, hand-tooled boxes:
"I think one of the most important aspects of the coffin is that it can be carried. And I think we're meant to carry each other. And I think carrying someone you love, committing them, is very important for us in when we deal with death. We want to know that we have played a part and that we have shouldered our burden. So, if we make it too convenient, then we're depriving ourselves of a chance of to get stronger so that we can carry on."
This idea of work that's fulfilling and meaningful is part of many people's modern-day deliberations. I'm no different. What I love about Dan McComb's short film is its ability to speak to that struggle within myself — and then translate it to something deeper, more experiential and yet transcendent.

Paolo,At what temperature will you be fermenting the dough, both in bulk and individual dough balls?Peter
I've read that some say they cannot notice a taste difference. Please, do you know what the price difference is between these 2 flours...thanks.
To me the cost difference is $50 per 55lbs bag. Caputo of course being the more expensive......I just want to see if there is a justification in the price difference.....
Was that a guess or a calculated answer?Please elaborate........
Now the right dough is tighter. I give up.
paolo, what are you paying for caputo? it costs me 30.26.
I'm not so sure about that....maybe it has just continued to rise more than the other and is taking up a larger area of the bowl.It does sorta look like Paolo did the 'ol switch er roo on us.
In the first pic I would have picked the left one to be caputo based on the color of the dough, but Now I see that it is just the lighting. Based on the 2nd pic, I'd say the right is the caputo based on the look and fermentation. But there could be several reasonings to why one dough would ferment just a bit quicker. Slightly diff amounts of yeast, one flour being slightly weaker than the other, gluten strength based on hydration and mixing, one ball being closer to the ice source in the cooler, etc.
paolo, what are you paying for caputo? it costs me 30.26.I'm assuming you cannot find it and are adding shipping to your costs. looking forward to you test results. my guess is they will be very close.

Skip to comments.Racist madman to rot
Posted on 03/09/2013 10:09:28 AM PST by Berlin_Freeper
Youre just a vicious racist, a Manhattan judge said in sentencing a psychotic gunman to 240 years in prison for holding 15 white patrons of an East Village wine bar hostage 10 years ago.
Steven Johnson an AIDS-infected, unemployed Brooklyn barber had burst into Bar Veloce on Second Avenue just before closing time on a June night in 2002, dousing everyone with kerosene and shouting, White people are going to burn tonight!
One decade, one mistrial and one overturned verdict later, Johnson was up to his old tricks again at his sentencing yesterday ranting about the economic collapse and comparing himself to the great terrorists of yore.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Mr. Johnson, you deluded yourself into believing not only that night, but even now, that you were and are a great man of some substance and significance...
But in your 15 minutes of fame you proved to be no more than a malevolent and vicious racist. You accomplished nothing that night except instilling terror in the hearts of innocent, decent people, injuring some of them...
You showed no mercy toward your victims that night... And therefore youll receive none from me.
I am offended that it too eleven years, and untold dollars to put this pond scum away. The cops never do their job. One of the witnesses said that the cops refused to shoot this guy a second time when they arrived. But they have no problem emptying their guns into your dog!
Or two Mexicans delivering newspapers.
Right there with you.
"When seconds count, the police are just minutes away". It rings so true.
The one thing not said, did he get HIV from a contaminated needle, or is he a malevolent and vicious racist homosexual?
"Or two Mexicans delivering newspapers."
But that would be because the SoCal police were being "hunted" by one of their own. Under those circumstances, citizens become just like the family dog, only more so.The "Police Motto" is "To Protect and To Serve Ourselves." Translation: We plan on going home tonight, no matter who has to die!
Heck, we have a President who believes that. 'Course, Obama does a better job suppressing his overt psychotic tendencies than Johnson does, but he's just as bad.
Hattip NFHale
the CIA, of course. /sarc
This guy reminds me of the nutcase that shot up a MTA car - acting as his own lawyer defending himself in front of the jury -"And why are there 93 charges? Because it is 1993..."
Colin Ferguson. What a cluster uff that trial was. I watched the whole thing. He cross examined his own victims referring to himself in the 3rd person. The judge should never have allowed that trial, it made a mockery of pretty much everyone involved in the criminal justice system.
You can only push some people so far.
That was hilarious.
Youre just a vicious racist, a Manhattan judge said in sentencing a psychotic gunman to 240 years in prison for holding 15 white patrons of an East Village wine bar hostage 10 years ago. Steven Johnson -- an AIDS-infected, unemployed Brooklyn barber... One decade, one mistrial and one overturned verdict later, Johnson was up to his old tricks again at his sentencing yesterday -- ranting about the economic collapse and comparing himself to the great terrorists of yore.Anyone know what his screen name is over on Kos or HuffPo?
Wait a minute...Isn't that Obama's son?
Or is that Obama?
I forgot that Ferguson argued with a victim on whether or not it was actually Ferguson that stood over him and pulled the trigger.
I doubt it was Justice Daniel FitzGerald that presided over that trial.
I think he's Dennis Rodman's sane brother......
No that trial was in Nassau County, more conservative than NY County. But the judge just didn't want to find him insane because everyone wanted him to stand trial. Clearly he was totally out of his mind and it just made the judge and court look foolish to pretend otherwise. On top of that, it was traumatic to the victims having to be cross examined by the guy who shot them! He would never have been released anyway and frankly, it made other judges take note in future cases.
This guy should have gotten himself a collar and he would have been rewarded by such rants. The same as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are.
Sharpton has caused more injuries and death than this guy has.
How long until the likes of Sharpton and Jackson call the judge a "racist"?
...but a president is in a position to kill a lot more people with drones, weapons, troops, abortionists, death panels, all kinds of ways. And he has.
> Racist madman to rot
When I saw the title I thought that he is going to be buried.
Yep. He's responsible for more deaths than Johnson. Bengazi alone makes him worse than Johnson. He's just as unrepentant, just as malevolent, just as hateful, just as much of a racist, and the potential of more deaths at his hands, even of the nation itself (which he despises), is going to be hanging over our heads for the next four years.
God knows what he'll do. I'd rather throw myself at the mercy of Steven Johnson than that hateful, jug-eared Kenyan demon.

Two shootings, one fatal, over the weekend
Two hunting-related accidents since Friday have left one man dead and a woman injured.
The 51-year-old St. Clair man, who died Friday was identified as Michael Heisler, Michigan State Police Sgt. Craig Johnson said Monday. Heisler was hunting on state land about a mile from Fish Lab Road in Albert Township.
When troopers investigated, his companions said they had heard him pleading for help at one point.
At the end of the day, when he failed to return from his blind to their cabin, they went searching for him where they knew his blind was set up and found him dead. He had been shot in his lower leg.
Johnson said an autopsy will be done to determine the cause of death.
On Sunday, a 29-year-old Posen woman was shot in the leg at around 3:15 p.m. at an Alpena Township residence.
That accident occurred when a 57-year-old man was loading his rifle in the home as he prepared to go hunting, and it discharged, officials said. The woman was taken by first responders to the Alpena Regional Medical Center where she was reported to be in stable condition.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (136 votes).
In short: lovely race at the seafront - nearly flat - excellent organizedDate of review: November 20, 2013
In short: Excellent well organised half marathonIn full: This was my 3rd Poppy half marathon in Bexhill. Always enjoy this event.Date of review: November 19, 2013
In short: little bit hilly - and I was only doing the lhalf!!In full: didn't realize quite how hilly this course was going to be - but a great challenge anyway. Very well organized, although, as with most races, there was a shortage of toilets, but thats pretty much expected !!Date of review: April 14, 2012
Date of review: April 9, 2012
In short: Hills, hills, hillsIn full: I knew it was going to be hilly but I wasn't prepared for just how hilly. Beachy Head but on the road. A few flats somewhere along the route would be welcome. Great organisation and fantastic marshalls. When I finished I swore never again, but now I'm thinking... maybe. Date of review: April 5, 2012
In short: Tough race but feel like I can take on anything now!In full: I knew this was going to be a tough marathon and my 3:55 pb was not going to be beaten. In fact I would have been over the moon with a sub 4 hour run.I spent the weeks leading up to the race checking out forums and course profiles to prepare myself for, not only the daunting distance but the hills which lay ahead. I also knew that the organisers were having trouble with local authorities with regards to the course. It seems the dear locals of Battle don't take too kindly to having their Sunday morning drives disrupted by the inconvenience of a marathon event. As a result the course was changed and ended up being a 6 mile loop with 2 5 mile 'out and backs'Now - the hills! My God the hills. They were so much worse than I imagined! I took the first 6 mile loop sensibly and felt good by 9 miles however when I hit that first hill it sapped all of my energy. The worse part of the hills is knowing you're going to have to cross the 16 mile mark and do it all over again. It really is soul destroying. A lot of the 'out and back' stages were completely void of any support whatsoever (it is in the middle of some rural roads) so you feel quite lonely running at some stages. At one stage I was thinking whether I was the only one in the race or if I'd taken a wrong turn!One big organisational blunder was the water station at around mile 19 ran out of water!! Unforgivable as far as I'm concerned. But there was plenty of Cola. Because a gassy, sugary drink is exactly what you need to get through the wall... not!In the end I somehow managed 3:58 so I was pleased. The best part of completing a tough marathon like this is you feel like you can take on anything afterwards. I'm not sure whether I would part with my hard earned cash for the privilege of participating in this event again though. Date of review: April 4, 2012
In short: Very hilly but stunning scenery and good organisationIn full: Will definitely do again but need to forget the hills first and the course being a third of a mile longer (according to the GPS watches amongst us). The South Downs Marathon was easier! Good friendly atmosphere and faultless organisation. More of these marathons please!Date of review: April 4, 2012
In short: A Great Race and great training for London - 'Water' Stations & Support were amazing - the most generous Marathon for support i have run yet.Date of review: April 3, 2012
In short: Fantastic RaceIn full: The cost of £32 to enter this race did seem a bit steep at first. However the race organisers did answer within 24 hours to a pre race enquiry and had a clear and easy website - which as I didn't receive my pre-race info via e-mail was not a problem as I could easily access the document on the website. What was pleasing about this race was the opportunity to register the night before. Registration was quick and easy. Onto the race - a decent attendance but best of all was the chip timing! The course is difficult though all on road however some really tough hills in it especially at the end which was cruel after running 26 (and we had already run up it once so we all knew it was there!). The marshals were fantastic as were those manning the water stations. Really encouraging group of people. Thank you! The advantage of doing the marathon is you are given bottles of water rather than the flimsy plastic cups and on a hot day this was useful. Decent medal, and nice t-shirt. I would definitley do it again. You may get a PB here but you'll have to have trained hard. Great training for those planning on doing on other tough road marathons such as Great Langdale and Snowdonia. In conclusion - a tough but enjoyable race. Well organised in a nice area. This race will, I am sure, become very popular over the next few years. Date of review: April 2, 2012
In full: Very well organised, marshalls were all positive offering encouragement, decent options at the feed stations rather than the usual water only option. Coke was welcome at the last feed station prior to the killer last hill which was never ending!! Only did the half, not sure how anyone could do the full. Well done to the organisers and thanks to the marshalls.Date of review: April 2, 2012

Great Lakes Rodeo offers bigger, better show this year
MARQUETTE – An even bigger event is planned for the Great Lakes Rodeo this year.
"Things are coming together really well and we're excited," said Jesie Melchori, Great Lakes Rodeo director. "There are many new changes and we're going to have a bigger and better rodeo than ever, which will give us the opportunity to donate even more back to the youth of our community."
The Great Lakes Rodeo is set for Saturday and Sunday at the Marquette County Fairgrounds, which are located off M-553 about two miles south of the County Road 480 intersection in Sands Township.
Today serves as a preview for the rest of the weekend's events, Melchori said.
"People can come today to check it out for free," she said.
There is a horsemanskill competition that begins at 5 p.m. and will last several hours.
Advance tickets for Saturday or Sunday are $10 for each day for those 13 and older or $5 for those ages 6-12 years old. Advance tickets are available until the close of business today from the Lake Superior Partnership office in Marquette, the Greater Ishpeming-Negaunee Area Chamber of Commerce office in Ishpeming, AM Express in Escanaba and from any of the rodeo royalty contestants.
The day of the events, tickets for adults are $12 and for children are $6. Or for both days, tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children.
Something special this year is on Sunday, which is Father's Day, when a family accompanies dad, he gets free admission to the event.

The surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia
On April 9, 1865, Union Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate General Robert E. Lee met in Wilmer McClean's home at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, to settle the terms of surrender for Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The next day, commissioners appointed by each general met to determine how the surrender would be put into effect. The details of that meeting are listed in this document. The formal surrender ceremony took place two days later.
