Everyone Should Take This Product!

Prior to taking this product, I was having a problem trying to remember things, the simplest things. I thought I was getting Alzheimer so I had a brain scan and MRI performed. That's how serious it was. All tests came back negative but something was definitely wrong. My wonderful daughter was worried about me and suggested that my body probably was lacking some very important nutrients. So when searching for something to take, I came across this product. This is my third bottle, and I tell you this has given me energy and my memory back and iHerb is a blessing to order from you.

This product was recommended to me by energy-healing as an art pros in Texas. I was skeptical and nervous about taking multi vitamins in liquid. I guess fearing I would overdo it and somehow it would be too much for my sensitive system. I LOVE this product. I've reordered once and will keep using it because I like saving on the amount of capsules/pills that I used to swallow, also it tastes pretty good. You can mix it in your smoothie if you don't like the taste. But, I think you'll like it. It seems to have most everything one needs, with the exception of CoQ10, fish or krill oil and evening primrose oil. Speaking for my own needs.
An Excellent Product!!

Was looking all over for a liquid Multi Vit without Iron. Also finding all the antioxidants that usually Multi Vit don't have is awesome!!
good deal

The first time I tried this product, I hated it, but that was because I hadn't shaken it well. If you don't do that, you won't like the taste. Shake it every time, and you will find it's a fruity taste. Considering the quality of ingredients, I think this is a bargain.
My favorite vitamins

I was surprised when I opened up the parcel from iHerb and found a bottle of LIQUID Multinutrient because I was sure I had ordered the usual tablets like I always do. At first I thought that there was no way I was going to keep these but later decided that they were, at least, worth a try. WOW!! Not only do they taste good, they also have a number of other good reasons to continue to use them. Since they are a liquid, they get into your system much quicker and you get the benefit of 100% of what you take. I've always liked the Bluebonnet formula but this 'mistake' has been one that I will continue to make. They're really good vitamins and the best way to find that out is to start taking them for about a month... and then quit! Whoa, that'll make a believer out of you. I like these liquid vitamins and sure you will too.
Liquid Vitamin & Mineral formula

The BLUEBONNET NUTRITION Liquid Super Earth multinutrient formula is an excellent choice for basic, and beyond, daily vitamin and mineral requirements. Being a liquid facilitates absortion. And it is a great ingredient to complete a "super smoothie" for breakfast.
Very Best Liquid Vitamins

Since I have been taking this product I have much more energy. It is great tasting. I will continue to take these vitamins because they are the best I have taken thus far.
Great Product

I have difficulty swallowing pills and capsules, so this is a very pleasant and easy way for me to get my vitamins and minerals. The taste is quite pleasant and I feel more energetic.

Welcome to The John Marshall Law School
About John Marshall
John Marshall (1755 - 1835), a Federalist from Virginia, was the nation's fourth chief justice. From 1801 - 1835, he led the United States Supreme Court and helped transform it into a powerful bastion of judicial review. In a series of seminal decisions the Marshall Court set forth fundamental doctrines of constitutional law intended to preserve the separation of powers and core principles of federalism essential in a democratic republic. Marshall was a judicial statesman whose genius lay in his implicit recognition of the promise of the Constitution and the role of the rule of law in a constitutional democracy.

text: I attended a seminar on a product called HeatGuard. I've since found similar products - RadiantGuard and Prodex. All these products can be installed on the attic floor over top of existing insulating material. The HeatGuard people gave me a quote of $ about $3600 for a 1730 sq. ft. attic. I'm concerned about effects of the high humidity in Raleigh, NC, and the seemingly high cost vs savings that might be less than 20% on the average. Anybody have any experience with any of these technologies?

This is a discussion on pancake/belt question within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I have an El Paso Saddlery pancake somewhat broken in. My Kimber Compact CDP II draws smoothly if I hold the holster. On the belt ...
I have an El Paso Saddlery pancake somewhat broken in. My Kimber Compact CDP II draws smoothly if I hold the holster. On the belt it binds as the holster rises. I am using a 1 1/2 in fairly stiff belt. What am I doing wrong?
Perhaps the holster needs to be broken in more. Try holstering the unloaded weapon with a thin sock over it and let it sit for awhile.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!
Try some Leather Lightning on it.
Also, be sure that whatever belt youre using completely fills the loops on the holster. This is a MUST. Belts that are extremely thick (Tucker standard, Mernickle, etc), do not work well with pancakes in my experience. They tend to arch, or "bow" the holster too much, creating too much tension across the outer "cake".

You can also wrap the gun in a thick sock. I find that using wax paper or a plastic bag just doesn't stretch the leather enough on a really tight holster.

I have a Don Hume pancake, on a 11/2 belt. Put it on and could not get the gun out of it. I tried wax paper it did not work. Someone told
me abouit Mitch Rosen Gunleather-he is listed on the Holster link. He has a product called leather lightning a little dab on the inside of the holster and problem solved.
when i was a kid people couldn't wait for their glass packs to mellow , so the old "stuff a water hose down em" was tried . it works but you end up with a harsh raspy sound later .
patience young one ,use and wear is the best option . to have a holster not only hold, but to release as well takes time .
a mellow throaty rumble tickles the girls ears better .
IF your holster is already broken in, and the problem still persists - then you are dealing with a design flaw in the holster. A poorly designed pancake will tend to bind at the trigger guard.
Please understand, however, that some retention is probably built into the holster, so be sure to confirm that it is binding at the trigger guard rather than just being properly molded and boned. Binding is a problem because it can be very inconsistant with different belts and/or varying tension on the belt, whereas a nice boning job will be very consistant regardless of how tight the belt is worn. That inconsistancy in tension can result in very erratic draw characteristics.
My problem is just the OPPOSITE! I ordered a BRAND NEW Galco "Concealable" and after a month or so of wearing (not every day either) it is extrememly loose! Even when it's flexed on my belt, it's a little loose! I mean it's what I would refer to as "perfectly broken in" but then again...how much more "looser" will it get over time?
I tried Wickett & Craig leather years ago, but never was really satisfied with the results. It can be really beautiful leather. However, in my experience the holsters made from it never really molded up firmly enough to suit me, and tended to soften up pretty quickly. It does make nice belts, however.
If you combine any veg tanned leather (especially this material) with an oil based finish (as the big holster factories do), you're gonna end up with a sloppy holster every time.
If you want the performance of a custom holster, you're gonna have to buy custom holsters. Factory holsters are what they are, and you just are not going to get the same level of performance.
Thanks Gary. I'm really start to think about custom holsters more and more! I've been a Galco man for 17+ years...but their quality has REALLY went downhill as of late.
Galco used to be about as good as it got ( IMHO ) and i own a bit of the old stuff , but i wont waste money on what i see today . I have a hume that i use for every day carry now , and its frankly barely worth the price of purchace ( i got it for free ) . It is a sad fact that today you have to go custom or synthetic , or both to get materials of any quality in a holster . It is no ones fault in the gun industry tho since everyone wants good marbled beef you get hormoned up beef that is somewhat " force grown " in lots for your local grocery store . This leads to poor quality leather . You cannot raise a cow to meet a custom makers leather standards so its a small pool of good materials everyone tries to find and compete for . Leathersmiths of all schools from saddlesmiths to holstersmiths now compete for a shtinking pool of acceptable leather . It costs more to have the same holster today that it did in the 70s and 80s , this trend will only get worse IMHO and that is without new controls on slaughter of exotics and horses ect.. .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
Well, a friend of mine is sending me a pair of Milt Sparks VM2's to test drive for a week or so. If these don't work out, I'm afraid I'll be saying "bye-bye" to leather and sticking with Kydex.
I know, I know...

In the world of military language, zero dark thirty (or oh dark thirty) is a term used to say 12:30 a.m.
Although the actual mission to kill Osama Bin Laden took place later in the morning on May 2, 2011 by the U.S. Navy's elite SEAL Team Six, Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" concentrates on the lead up to the kill. The project's first trailer, a highly stylized teaser that barely tops one minute, was released Monday. The backstory behind the raid, including the decade-long hunt for Bin Laden and the intel gathered over time sits front and center in the trailer. Black lines suggesting redacted information on classified documents runs through the trailer over video images of recorded places.
The film has already come under fire, with officials questioning whether the Defense Department released classified information to Bigelow and writer and producer Mark Boal. Emails released in May showed the Obama administration offering Bigelow and Boal an opportunity to speak with a SEAL Team Six commander. According to a Pentagon official, however, the meeting never took place. A SEAL team planner's name was released to the filmmakers, but the Pentagon says that no security violation took place by doing so.
The film is slated to open on December 19, the film stars Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain, Edgar Ramirez, Mark Strong, Kyle Chandler, Nash Edgerton, Jennifer Ehle, Harold Perrineau and Frank Grillo. Watch the trailer here. Leave your thoughts in the comments. For more, follow @alexandracheney on Twitter.

Francine Derby Talks
More than 100 horses, donkeys and ponies were seized from Francine Derby's care last week... after Marion County officials say they weren't being taken care of properly. Derby has a different story.
"It's not for lack of purchasing feed," said Derby.
It wasn't the quantity of the food she fed her animals, but the quality that hurt them.
"The hay was starting to drop a little bit in protein value and in the overall aspect the livestock in general had dropped body weight, and I did notice that and I had already made corrections on that."
Christy Jergens from Marion County Animal Services says the horses that arrived today seized from Derby's care with the condition they're in currently didn't happen overnight.
"Those horses have been lacking in nutrition for quite some time. this wasn't a short term problem this was a long term problem," said Jergens.
Derby says yes the manes might look a little rough, but says it's nothing a little grooming can't fix.
"The situation has really overwhelmed me," said Derby. "The ponies are actually really beautiful. A lot of them are really scruffy and they need to be groomed."
Jergens disagrees.
"It could be due to poor nutrition, it could be due to worms, it could be due to rain rot...but one way or the other the animals weren't being taken care of," said Jergens.
"When somebody comes to my gate to purchase something a lot of times the first thing I will tell them is...if you're going to be offended by something that's defective, then maybe this is not the place for you to walk into," said Derby.

One of my favorite parts of travelling is packing; bear with me here. While I don't relish putting together my bigger suitcase or bag (which I always check), setting up my carry on, whether it's for a long train voyage or a shorter (but more stressful) plane flight, is good fun. I save up copies of Elle, Monocle, and the New Yorker, carefully choose at least two books – yes I still read on paper – and ensure I have enough moisturizer, facial spritz, hand wipes, lip balm, healthy snacks and podcasts loaded on my phone. It's fun to pack it all in there, the minimum number and quantity of items that one needs immediately while voyaging.
One thing that has eluded me thus far is the perfect bag in which to keep everything. Etsy seems to be the ideal place to start any bag-finding expedition, and I found some lovely ones made from vintage leather, fabric, and veggie-tanned leather.
The Glorianne, above, by Leonie Saliba, is like an extra-giant handbag, which makes it kind of a fun piece, as well as being practical. Made from vegetable-tanned leather, it's plenty big enough for a laptop and much more.
The African mudcloth travel bag from Etsy seller missprettyperfect is made of a soft material, in the traditional African colors and style (you can read all about the design and how it was put together on the seller's blog). Handmade and fully lined, it looks like this bag could well double as a pillow, which of course is perfect for travelling.
This vintage leather bag from Salvage Life is just the most beautiful color and style. Absolutely classic and would go with anything/everything.

Pre-PMA 2003, 00:00 TOKYO (19th): Pentax has today announced their new compact 35 mm film SLR, the '*ist' (yes, just asterisk-I-S-T). Wait, I hear you cry, what has this to do with digital photography? Well, nothing at the moment but you never know this could be quite an interesting body design. Pentax claim that the new *ist is the world's smallest 35 mm autofocus SLR camera. The *ist measures just 122 x 84 x 64 mm (4.8 x 3.3 x 2.5 in) and weighs just 335 g (11.8 oz).
Note: This is a 35 mm film SLR camera, not a digital camera.
Press Release:
PENTAX Markets the World's Smallest 35mm Autofocus SLR Camera
PENTAX Corporation is pleased to announce the marketing of the PENTAX *ist 35mm autofocus SLR camera.
Encased in the world's smallest in the 35mm autofocus SLR category *,
this new SLR incorporates a host of advanced features and user-friendly
functions to facilitate easy operation and assure greater creativity.
They include: a multi-mode exposure system with the innovative Auto Picture
mode and an accessible illumination mode dial; a 16-segment multi-pattern
metering system; a 11-point autofocus system; a 1/4000-second high-speed
shutter; 17 custom functions; a large LCD panel; a multi-data LCD viewfinder
indicator; and a retractable auto pop-up flash. It also accepts a full
range of high-quality smc PENTAX interchangeable lenses and accessories
- including two new zoom lenses and the new BG-20 battery grip - to maximize
the fun and excitement of advanced SLR photography.
* As of February 2003
Combining the highest level of quality and performance with super-compact dimensions and user-friendly operation and display systems, the PENTAX *ist is fully capable of satisfying a wide range of photographers - from the most demanding professionals and experienced amateurs to SLR novices. It is expected to become a new standard-setter in the highly competitive global 35mm SLR market.
Major Features of the PENTAX *ist
1. Ultra-compact dimensions and functional design
Measuring only 122mm wide, 84mm high and 63.5mm thick (4.8 x 3.3 x 2.5 inches) and weighing a mere 335 grams (11.8 oz.), the new *ist features the world's smallest in the 35mm autofocus SLR market. All controls are functionally positioned on the top and back panels for maximum ease of operation and accessibility.
2. High-precision 16-segment multi-pattern metering system with user-selectable
spot and center-weighted modes
The newly developed 16-segment multi-pattern metering system solves even the most complicated lighting conditions to produce beautifully exposure photographs, frame after frame. In addition to all-purpose multi-pattern mode, the *ist also offers spot and center-weighted modes to meet specialized applications.
3. Sophisticated 11-point autofocus system with cross-shaped AF point
selector and LED viewfinder indicator
Thanks to the advanced SAFOX VIII phase-matching autofocus system, the *ist assures sharp, crisp focus on the subject, even under poor lighting conditions. Its newly developed 11-point AF sensor constantly monitors 11 different points in the image field and covers a wide area - both vertically and horizontally - to assure optimum focus. In addition to the "AUTO" mode - where the camera automatically selects the optimum focusing point - and the "SPOT" mode - where the focus area is narrowed down to a small area at the center of the image field - the *ist also offers the innovative "SELECT" mode, where the user can select one of 11 AF sensor points using the cross-shaped AF point selector on the back panel. What's more, the selected AF sensor point is confirmed by an LED pointer in the viewfinder. This sophisticated AF system also features the predictive autofocus function, which is automatically activated when the system detects subject motion and predicts the subject position at the moment of shutter release. This function even allows the photographer to shoot a few frames after the subject has moved out of the AF sensor field.
4. Auto Picture mode and illumination mode dial
When the Auto Picture Mode is selected, the *ist automatically selects the most appropriate auto-exposure mode from five different programs, based on such data as the subject's distance, lens focal length, lighting conditions and subject motion. This not only ensures the best possible result for every subject and in every situation, but also allows the photographer to concentrate completely on shutter opportunity and picture-framing. The large illumination mode dial clearly indicates the selected exposure program, even in the dark. The selected program is also indicated in the viewfinder indicator.
5. Multi-mode exposure system
In addition to the Auto Picture Mode, the *ist offers six user-selectable Picture Modes, two conventional auto-exposure modes (Aperture-Priority AE and Shutter-Priority AE), Metered Manual mode and bulb mode.
6. Multi-function retractable auto flash with auto pop-up feature
Covering an angle of view as wide as 28mm, the auto flash automatically pops up and discharges when the camera detects low-light and/or backlight situations. It also retracts to the storage position automatically when the camera's power is turned off. Its red-eye reduction function effectively reduces the annoying red-eye effect in subjects' eyes.* Thanks to the advanced TTL flash control system, complicated flash techniques (such as daylight sync, slow-shutter sync and bulb sync) are made simple and effortless, even when used in combination with accessory flash units. Especially when combined with the AF360FGZ, it offers a variety of advanced wireless remote functions. In addition, it even makes a brief discharge in the dark to assist the camera's AF system.
* This mode does not eliminate "red eyes" in all instances.
7. 1/4000-second high-speed shutter with 1/125-second flash synchronization
The compact, reliable shutter unit offers a top shutter speed of 1/4000 second to freeze the decisive moment of fast-action scenes. It also features a high flash synchronization speed of 1/125 second, so that the photographer can open up the aperture to capture dramatic flash images.
8. User-adjustable custom functions
The *ist offers 17 custom functions, enabling the photographer to customize some basic camera functions to suit individual preferences. These functions include the AF pointer display in the viewfinder, the LED illuminator operation mode in the LCD panel, the order of exposures in the auto bracketing mode, and the timing of remote shutter release.
9. Large, easy-to-read LCD data panel with automatic illuminator
Located on the back panel, the multi-data LCD panel offers a full range of information with large icons and numbers to supplement the camera's user-friendly operation system. The user can activate its orange LED illuminator by turning the main switch to the preview position. Using one of the custom functions, it is also possible to select automatic illumination under low-light conditions or deactivate the illuminator at all times.
10. Bright viewfinder with full-information LCD viewfinder indicator and AF pointer
Thanks to the renowned Natural-Bright-Matte focusing screen, the *ist offers a sharp, clear viewfinder image even under unfavorable lighting conditions. The LCD viewfinder indicator at the bottom provides a full range of information, including the selected Picture Mode and exposure compensation factors. For easy data confirmation, it even comes equipped with automatic brightness control, which changes the brightness level in proportion to the subject's lighting condition. Within its image field, the viewfinder features LED AF pointers, one of which lights up to indicate the user-selected AF sensor. The diopter adjustment mechanism built into the viewfinder eyepiece allows the user to adjust the viewfinder image between -2.0m-1 and +1.0m-1 to obtain the clearest view of the subject.
11. 2.5-frame-per-second high-speed motor drive
The high-speed motor drive winds the film at a speed of 2.5 frames per second. The user can select either single-frame advance or consecutive advance with simple pushbutton operation. It also simplifies film loading and rewinding operations.
12. Effortless auto bracketing
With a single shutter release, the photographer can capture three different exposures of the same subject (in order of proper exposure, underexposure and overexposure) in all exposure modes (except Bulb mode). The desired compensation value (±0.3EV, ±0.5EV or ±1.0EV) can be selected using one of the custom functions. The use of auto bracketing as well as the selected compensation value are indicated in both the LCD panel and the viewfinder display.
13. Easy-setting exposure compensation and AE lock
Using the exposure compensation button and the select dial, the photographer can easily set the desired compensation value within a range of ±3EV in 1/2EV increments (except when the Metered Manual mode is selected). Positioned at the upper right-hand corner of the back panel, the AE lock button makes the camera memorize the measured exposure value for approximately 20 seconds, during which period the photographer is free to re-compose the image.
14. Creative multi-exposure
The photographer can make two exposures on a single frame with pushbutton ease to produce dramatic, eye-catching images. To expose the same frame more than three times, the photographer simply needs to repeat this operation after each exposure.
15. Depth-of-field preview
The depth-of-field preview function is electronically operated for easy confirmation of the in-focus area in the image field before actually taking a picture. It allows the photographer to create the desired visual effect more consistently.
16. Handy wireless remote control
In combination with the accompanying remote controller, the *ist offers the convenience of remote shutter release from a distance. The user can select either an instant release or a three-second-delay release using one of the custom functions. The operation is confirmed by the self-timer indicator on the camera's front panel.
17. Durable metallic lens mount
The *ist features a durable metallic lens mount to minimize wear caused by countless lens changes over years and always hold the lens firmly in place.
18. Data recording capability
The *ist allows the user to automatically record the date, or day and time, of picture-taking on the photograph for quick, easy reference of captured images.
19. High-performance smc PENTAX 35mm lens system
PENTAX offers a selection of PENTAX FA- and F-series autofocus lenses for use with the *ist to meet the diverse requirements of its users, from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto, and to special-effect lenses such as fish-eye, macro and soft-focus. To minimize the overall size of the *ist with a lens attached, PENTAX developed two compact, high-performance zoom lenses as ideal partners for the *ist: the smc Pentax-FA J Zoom 28mm~80mm F3.5~F5.6 AL and the smc Pentax-FA J Zoom 75mm~300mm F4.5~F5.8 AL. All smc PENTAX lenses are treated with the acclaimed Super-Multi-Coating to reproduce sharp, high-contrast images with minimal aberrations.
20. A wide range of optional accessories
Most existing PENTAX 35mm-system accessories can be used with the *ist, including the AF360FGZ dedicated flash unit. In addition, the new BG-20 battery grip, which is exclusively designed for use with the *ist, is powered by four AA-size batteries to greatly extend the camera's operation time; it features an enlarged grip and a vertical-position shutter release button.

By Kevin Allen, USA TODAY
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh Penguins sensation Sidney Crosby, at 19, has fashioned a remarkable NHL season, leading the league with 48 assists and 72 points. As if that's not enough, he also has shown to be a master of the high seas.
Two weeks ago, during a road trip to Florida, Crosby and teammates Colby Armstrong and Marc-Andre Fleury took advantage of a day off to try deep-sea fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale. They found themselves thrashing about in 6- to 8-foot waves, and seasickness leveled the would-be fishermen.
Crosby was the only one who didn't give up his breakfast to the sea.
"He said he was feeling a bit sick, but he held it down," Armstrong says, laughing. "He had to, because the captain of the boat said if he was (throwing up) he would have been all over him, because Sid is from Nova Scotia. But that's Crosby — no matter where he is or what he's doing, he has got that composure."
MVP BUZZ: What the players are saying
Crosby's pluckiness, composure and dynamic talent on ice will be on display tonight in Dallas at the annual NHL All-Star Game. The second-year center has a six-point lead in the scoring race on Tampa Bay Lightning winger Martin St. Louis— who has played seven more games — and a seven-point lead on fellow NHL wunderkind Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals.
A suggestion that Crosby had become the NHL's best player probably started Dec. 13, when he scored one goal and had five assists vs. the Philadelphia Flyers to take over the scoring lead. Two nights later he had a four-point effort against the New York Islanders.
Crosby also has the Penguins competing for a playoff spot a season after they were the NHL's second-worst team. They hold the Eastern Conference's eighth and final spot.
The buzz is such that Crosby is forecast for a memorable All-Star performance, in the tradition of Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux.
"What's he doing by leading the league in scoring is amazing, given his age," Penguins chairman Lemieux says. "The way he has been dominating for the last couple of months has also been amazing. I haven't seen a player in the past that has been able to do that. He's only going to get better, and that's pretty scary."
That seems to be the consensus around the NHL about the 5-11, 200-pound Crosby. "There was a stretch there when every time he touched the puck we were getting a prime scoring chance," says his teammate, defenseman Ryan Whitney.
"He's got the edge that Gordie Howe had, the powerful skating that Mario had when he put it in gear, and he thinks like Wayne Gretzky," NBC hockey analyst Bill Clement says. "He's the whole package."
San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton, the reigning Hart Trophy winner as the NHL's most valuable player, thinks Crosby will be an MVP candidate "the next 15 years."
"What he's done is way ahead of everyone's projections," Anaheim Ducks general manager Brian Burke says. "He has a knack of making everyone on his team dangerous when he's on the ice. Very few players make everyone else dangerous."
More physical than he looks
One surprise of Crosby's game is his ability to win one-on-one physical battles for the puck.
"He reminds me of (former Flyers star) Bobby Clarke in that regard," Burke says. "For a guy that weighed 175 pounds, it was unbelievable how many puck battles that Clarke won against guys bigger. Sidney does the same thing. He gets body position and ends up making a play."
NHL coaching legend Scotty Bowman says he sees Crosby "more like (Mark) Messier, because he pushes players away to create space."
When Crosby was younger, he says, he liked to watch centers such as Steve Yzerman, Peter Forsberg and Pat LaFontaine. "Maybe they weren't the biggest guys in the world, but they weren't afraid to go into traffic. They played with an edge," Crosby says.
That edge has shown up in the form of a feistiness and competitive spunk that frequently result in Crosby initiating contact. "He's not a perimeter player," Pittsburgh general manager Ray Shero says.
Bowman also thinks Crosby has the fire and edginess of Boston Bruins legend Bobby Orr. "Orr and (Crosby) play with reckless abandon," Bowman says.
Lemieux, comparing the start of Crosby's NHL career to his own and Gretzky's, says his young star is doing much better. "He's a lot stronger, a greater skater. He sees the ice well. One-on-one he's probably one of the best, just the way he thinks about the game. He's always one step ahead."
Although Crosby is not the captain in Pittsburgh — the position is vacant — he's certainly the flag carrier. "What makes him the best player in the league is what he also does defensively, how he battles down low. He's a pretty intense kid," Whitney says.
Teammates respect that Crosby doesn't believe he's too talented to do the dirty work. "When a hard shot comes, he's not going to lift his leg like a flamingo," Whitney says. "He's going to block it."
Seemingly impervious to pressure
Crosby's most impressive accomplishment, though, might be exceeding expectations, because, as Penguins vice president Tom McMillan points out, "There's never been a player in NHL history, not Mario, not Gretzky, who faced the kind the kind of pressure that (Crosby) has faced."
At 16, Crosby had rock-star popularity in Canada. Playing for Rimouski in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, he totaled 120 goals and 303 points in 121 games. Even Gretzky predicted "Sid the Kid" had a chance to break some of his records.
As Burke recalls of the moments leading to which team would get the lottery pick to draft Crosby, "I stopped breathing there for a minute, because we were that close to getting him. I knew what a difference a guy like him could make to a franchise. He's got winner written all over him."
With that kind of buildup, Crosby has managed, seven months before his 20th birthday, to amass 63 goals and 174 points in his first 124 NHL games.
"And you have to remember," McMillan says, "that he started his career playing left wing, instead of his usual position of center; his coach got fired; and, by the end of (last) January, both of his linemates (Ziggy Palffy and Lemieux) had retired. Those are disruptions that most veterans would have trouble handling, let alone an 18-year-old kid."
Not that Crosby considered it all that easy.
"I was in adjustment mode when I came in," he says. "Being as competitive as I am, I don't think I was focused on winning as I am now."
He tells of being stopped on his first NHL shift last season by New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur and being in awe he was competing against Brodeur.
"Now, if I'm stopped point blank, I wouldn't be too happy about it," Crosby says, smiling. "But back then I was just happy to be there."
Ambassador for game
Through all his on-ice adjustments to the NHL, Crosby hasn't shirked his duties as perhaps the league's most important playing ambassador. St. Louis Blues President John Davidson says he's amazed at how often Crosby is featured in Canada on commercials. "It's like a reinvention of Gretzky," Davidson says.
If anything, Crosby has grown more comfortable in his role as hockey spokesman. In that regard he can be compared to Gretzky, who probably handled that aspect of superstardom as well as anyone. As Ovechkin says of he and Crosby being tasked to carry the NHL, "We concentrate on the game and don't think about our faces. … We're young, and we just have fun."
McMillan says Crosby is always sitting at his stall in the dressing room, available to the media, regardless of the score or his accomplishment. On a night the Penguins had an offensive explosion, the media had several interview options. When no one came to Crosby right away, McMillan says he told him he probably didn't need to stick around.
"But he came back twice to check to make sure no one wanted him," McMillan says. "He didn't want anyone to think that he didn't make himself available."
McMillan says he never encountered an athlete who wanted to be involved in interview scheduling as much as Crosby or anyone as respectful of the impact he has on others. Crosby likes to do all postgame interviews in the dressing room, not at a podium, because he wants to be with his teammates after a game.
When he was asked to do countless interviews and photo shoots last season, McMillan recalls him saying, "What will guys like Forsberg and Yzerman think about this? I haven't even played in a game yet."
This is the same player who taught himself French when he went to play in the Quebec league so he could be more accommodating to people in his community. He still will do Montreal television interviews in French, even though he thinks his French is rusty.
"I'm 44, and I look up to the kid," says former Penguins player Phil Bourque, now a broadcaster. "I strive to be like he is."
McMillan notes that Crosby gets applause on the road in Montreal, much as Lemieux, one of the city's favorite sons, used to hear.
Crosby still lives with Lemieux and his family. "He's a great babysitter," Lemieux says.
Because of his maturity, it's difficult to remember Crosby is still 19 months from the legal age to drink alcoholic beverages in the USA. "He is so engrossed in the game of hockey, he won't even eat a chocolate chip cookie," Bourque says.
But he will, from time to time, still act like a teenager.
"It comes out when he kids around with his teammates, particularly the younger guys like Colby Armstrong and Ryan Whitney," Bourque says. "When they talk about girls and silly things, they can sound high schoolish. … It reminds me of the way we talked about girls on the high school bus."
Bourque wishes Crosby would allow himself those teenage moments more often.
"He's so dedicated to being the best he can be," Bourque says, "you wonder if he has the time to have fun and be a kid."

Hello all and Happy New Year! :)
Today I installed Office 2007 on my Windows XP computer.
I set it up to check my gmail account and another account. I tested both. No problem. :)
However, I have noticed that when I:
1. Go to my gmail account (via Internet Explorer via the web).
2. Send an email to somebody (for this example, I sent it to my friend Jason)
In Outlook, the email I sent TO Jason appears in MY Inbox.
Is this normal? Why would I be receiving an email that was ADDRESSED to Jason, not me?
The header shows:
From: <my gmail account>
To: <Jason's email account>
If I hit "Reply", it acts as if I'm replying to my gmail account!
I can see this ending in my "Sent mail" folder, but not my "Inbox" folder.
Can anybody please advise?
Thank you VERY much! :)

Breathtaking Snow Country Without the Snow
Well it didn't take long and we were once again in the Peugeot doing 130kph. The 630 km trip to Soulan in the Pyrenees would go quick at this pace, so would our coins. Those nasty toll machines seemed to be getting more greedy by the kilometer.

Lazy days in Biert
A lazy start as James is crook. Mod got up slowly are brekky and did some more prep for our Paris break through Aurbnb, who wanted a passport identification. Once completed - which was not as easy as it seems as it used Facebook and my birthday is incorrect on that site. Once complete it was time to have a nap as everyone was either away or in bed.

Well I could tell you straight away to share the experience with Liz my better half, that is all that would make the day more ...

The next morning is overcast and chilly, so I don jeans and a jumper, not realising how hot it would get later! At the last minute I decide to catch the bus to the Vintgar Gorge, a natural gorge discovered at the end of the 19th Century. It's beautiful and very like Northern Europe, with wooden walkways constructed around the side of the gorge so you can walk right down the middle. Again, beautiful but packed. There were 5 coach loads of people there, along with various cars, and I found myself pushing pasts clusters of Italians. But once I got past a group of people and could almost pretend I was there alone, it was great. At the end of the gorge, I decide to follow a sign uphill to a village, to see if I can find a way back to Bled, but decide against it as I don't have a map or even an incling of which direction it is! I do manage to show a German family the way back down to the gorge however, who had found the small entrance a bit tricky to find, so feel my hike up was not in vain.
I walked down to look at supposedly a great waterfall, but it was more of a drizzle because it was the summer! As I came back up, I spotted some signs for Bled, so decided to walk back rather than catch the bus back from the other side of the gorge. Along the way, I met an elderly English couple, who were doing the same walk and had instructions. As it happened, it was very well signposted, but it was nice to talk to someone while I walked! Even though it was only a 20 minute hike to the nearest village, it was through Triglav National Park, so I feel I've done as much hiking as I can in the NP considering I only have flip flops! I left the couple when we reached the first village, and walked for about 45 minutes down a hill through Alpine villages and past high corn fields back to Bled- I could definitely have been in Austria or Switzerland! The sun had come out by then, and was getting very hot. Somewhat regretting the jeans at this point. The road entered Bled near the castle, so I climbed the steep hill up there. I didn't realise until I was coming back down quite how high above the lake I must have already been- I only had to climb about 5 minutes, but if I had been walking up from the lake it would have taken me at least 20minutes, so I'd definitely recommend my route!
As my reward for my morning hikes, I bought the traditional Slovenian Cream cake that Bled is famous for, and sat with incredible panoramic views over the lake and the mountains of Slovenia. Probably the most expensive place I could have bought it, but it was worth it for the view! Bled castle is really nice, they've kept it a lot more traditional than Ljubliana, although they charge you to get in.
They have a printing works with a replica of Gutenberg's original printing press. Not quite sure why, as he was in Germany at the time, but apparently the castle is from the same time period, so they thought it'd make a nice addition! I had a bit of a chat with the guide working there, as I knew so much about Gutenberg (ahem) from last year at uni. They also had a wine cellar, with a man dressed up as a monk (?!) who let me try some of the wines. Very nice, but I thought i'd be paying a premium for buying from the castle, so he told me the wines actually come from a place near Nova Gorica, where I have to go to get to Venice anyway, so I might try and get some then. I walked down the very very steep hill to the lake, past all the weary people hiking up, and joined the other holiday makers strolling around the lake in the sunshine.
It takes probably a couple of hours to walk round the lake, all on well maintained paths or roads. Ocassionally a horsedrawn carriage will glide past you, but rarely do you see a car. It was warm enough for people to swim in the lake, and several were swimmng to 'the only island in Slovenia' in the centre. I never made it in the end, as I had to get back for horse riding, and the rest of my time in Bled was too cold, but it looked nice from the banks of the lake. One problem I had when leaving was the location of the train station. It is on the far East side, an hours walk from the main centre, and nearly the opposite side of the lake from where I was staying. As I was passing, I climbed up to see how far it was. Taxi it is, then.
I got back to my room just in time to change and trot (no pun intended) up to the activity agency in town where I was being picked up for horse riding. Despite arriving a few minutes late, and well out of breath, I still had to wait a while until the guide came to pick me up and took me to the stables just outside of town. It was just a Scottish girl and me on the hour long horse ride, which took us through the Slovenian countryside, under some very low branches, and past huge corn fields as the sun set over the hills. At my request (and because the Scottish girl was quite good), we tried to canter- I think I need a bit more practice! I was bumping all over the place and as always, my horse was a bit reluctant to get going. Trotting was OK and cantering was fun but I'm glad we didn't do it all the way! Back at the activity agency, I asked for a recommendation of where to go for dinner, but when I arrived there, it seemed like it was THE place to recommend... packed, I was left hovering by the door, no mention of 'how can I help' or 'you'll have to wait for a table' even. I think the staff were understandably stressed with all the people! Eventually I sat down to wait in the bar, having been told that I couldn't eat there, and someone came over to take my order. I picked some random Croatian dish off the menu (no translation) and crossed my fingers... turned out to be goulash and new potatoes, which was perfect as just as I was eating, the heavens opened outside and the rain battered down. Now I was in a bit of a pickle. I had worn my one pair of non-flip flop shoes to go horseriding, but they really aren't suited for wet weather! Hand-made, with the stiches coming apart on the soles, they would be soaked through in minutes. So I decided the best option would be to go bare foot. Walking back through Bled, who knows what the holiday-makers thought, sitting in their posh restaurant overlooking the lake, as a strange girl walks along the road, splashing in the puddles, barefoot, icecream in hand.

It's Alright to Be a Lefty!

Hellenga and his Women
I picked up The Confessions of Frances Godwin by Robert Hellenga not entirely sure what to expect, but I thought a book in which a woman has conversations with God had to be at least somewhat interesting.

Today in Chicago, you can call 911 and get rapid emergency assistance. Things were very different in 1835.

When Home Depot Inc. landed Robert L. Nardelli as CEO some two years ago, it was hailed as a coup for the nation's second-largest retailer. A retailing neophyte, Nardelli was a manufacturing star at General Electric Co.'s Power Systems unit. Home Depot's board bet it could benefit from his operational savvy. After all, though Home Depot had successfully blanketed the nation with its orange-striped stores, the $58 billion retailer was rife with waste and inefficiency, having failed to invest in the systems to manage its ever-sprawling network.
Fast-forward to the present, and it's clear the transition has been more difficult than expected. On Jan. 2, Atlanta-based Home Depot warned that fiscal fourth-quarter sales at stores open a year or more would be down as much as 10%. It was the second such quarterly drop and the seventh straight quarter in which Home Depot has lagged archrival Lowe's Cos.
It was no surprise, then, that the announcement sent shares down 14%, to $21.38. All told, they're off 50% since Nardelli became CEO in late 2000. "I think there are people on Wall Street who are questioning his ability to make the change and run a retail organization," says Erik Becker, an analyst at Waddell & Reed Financial Inc., which has cut its stake from 1.7 million shares to 448,000 since June.
The heavy hammer has hit Home Depot from many fronts. The company blames its sales dip largely on the poor economic and retail climate, as well as a decision not to repeat the costly promotional sales of past years. But analysts and investors see another culprit: A customer backlash against Nardelli's overambitious inventory and staffing initiatives, which have badly disrupted service and sales.
Nardelli dismisses the skeptics, insisting that the transition from turbines to tools has been relatively smooth. "Is retail different? Sure it is," he admits. "But there are certain fundamentals in running a business that are pretty portable." And directors profess their full support of Nardelli's sweeping makeover. "We're telling him to stay the course," says director Ken Langone.
But critics argue that Home Depot's woes stem from Nardelli's efforts to force manufacturing-like processes onto retailing. In his GE days, he was able to shave inventory even as he pushed managers to move products out the door quicker. But his efforts to do the same at Home Depot have simply slowed reorders, leaving stores out of stock in such key areas as electronics. Meanwhile, he has shaken up his workforce. The share of part-time sales clerks has gone from 26% to as high as 50% in 2002--even as rival Lowe's with a staff that's 80% full-time garnering a rep for better service.
Home Depot officials maintain that the sweeping makeover will leave the retailer stronger than ever. But Nardelli & Co. can only hope that disaffected customers give the retailer a second look.

Where I stayed
decided to drive down for Christmas, and then left my truck at my
pre-cruise hotel in Tampa and flew home for 2 weeks, driving back home
after the cruise. Among other things, this entailed packing for the
cruise 3 weeks early so I had only a carryon for my flights home and back.
I left home December 19. The traffic on I95 was the best I�€™ve ever seen
it at this time of the year with essentially no delays, even going
around the Washington area. I was on the road about 8 hours Monday,
stopping at Florence, South Carolina, about the midpoint of the trip
The second day I made an extended lunch stop in Savannah and reached my
hotel in Ocoee, FL early Tuesday evening.
Wednesday was a quiet day at home. My niece, Amanda, and her husband
Chris were both finishing up last minute work. Chris�€™ mom has joined
them and gramma takes care of the kids when Chris and Amanda are
working. The kids are Adam, 8 and his sister Emily 6. My brother Roger
and his friend Adrienne were there as well.
On Thursday Roger, Adrienne, Adam, Emily, and I all went off to the
Kennedy Space Center. As part of the tour we visited the Vehicle
Assembly Building. This massive structure was originally built for the
Apollo moon project, and was subsequently used to prepare the spaceshuttle for launch. The building has always been closed to the public while associated with an active space program but has recently been made available for limited tours after the shuttle's retirement
Friday was primarily a shopping day. In the afternoon Adam and Emily accompanied me and Roger to the store to help us choose their gifts.
Saturday Roger and I went to the cemetery in Lakeland where our parents are buried. They moved to Lakeland in 1969. Our father passed away in 1976 but mom remained there until moving to a retirement village in Kissimmee in 1991. She died in 2001. In the evening we attended Christmas Eve services at Windermere Union Church in their neighborhood.
Christmas was a very pleasant but quiet day at home. Roger and Adrienne returned to Des Moines December 26 and the rest of us had a quiet day at home, followed by dinner at the Olive Garden. Tuesday morning I drove to the Country Inn and Suites in Tampa and was driven to the airport for my late afternoon flight back to BWI.

What is Prescribing information?
The FDA package insert formatted in easy-to-find categories for health professionals and clinicians.
Namenda XR FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
Clinical Trials Experience
NAMENDA XR was evaluated in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial in which a total of 676 patients with moderate to severe dementia of the Alzheimer's type (341 patients on NAMENDA XR 28 mg/day and 335 patients on placebo) were treated for up to 24 weeks.
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation
In the placebo-controlled clinical trial of NAMENDA XR, the proportion of patients in the NAMENDA XR group and the placebo group who discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions was 10% and 6%, respectively. The most common adverse reaction that led to treatment discontinuation in the NAMENDA XR group was dizziness, at a rate of 1.5%.
Most Common Adverse Reactions
The most commonly observed adverse reactions seen in patients administered NAMENDA XR in the controlled clinical trial, defined as those occurring at a frequency of at least 5% in the NAMENDA XR group and at a frequency higher than placebo, were headache, diarrhea and dizziness.
Table 1 lists adverse reactions that were observed at an incidence of ≥ 2% in the NAMENDA XR group and occurred at a rate greater than placebo.

|Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders
|Back pain
|Nervous system disorders
|Psychiatric disorders
|Renal and urinary disorders
|Urinary incontinence
|Vascular disorders
Memantine has not been systematically evaluated in patients with a seizure disorder. In clinical trials of memantine, seizures occurred in 0.3% of patients treated with memantine and 0.6% of patients treated with placebo.
Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of memantine.
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. These reactions include:
Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: agranulocytosis, leukopenia (including neutropenia), pancytopenia, thrombocytopenia, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Cardiac Disorders: cardiac failure congestive.
Gastrointestinal disorders: pancreatitis.
Hepatobiliary Disorders: hepatitis.
Psychiatric Disorders: suicidal ideation.
Renal and Urinary Disorders: acute renal failure (including increased creatinine and renal insufficiency).
Skin Disorders: Stevens Johnson syndrome.

How to Slow Down and Enjoy Life
Sometimes it seems as though days have two speeds: hurried and breakneck. Want to learn how to hop off the roller coaster?
Having rituals at home that aren't goal-oriented provides a calm point in an otherwise unpredictable day. These are activities that are solely about being in the present.
Head Outdoors
Enjoy the little things that you see, ones that you might miss when rushing passed. Experience the weather, the smells, the texture of the outdoors.
Have a Family Meal
Take the time to plan the table setting and to prepare the food. Keep the cooking from being labor-intensive by serving one of your go-to meals. Technology tends to make everyone frantic, so save phone calls and e-mails until you're finished and instead spend the time catching up on everyone's activities.

David needs the umbrella to complete his Neville Chamberlain impersonation. In an Op Ed in today's Washington Post David Ignatius applauds the disastrous UN-brokered ceasefire:
The Lebanon war was damaging for Israel, the United States and, most of all, Lebanon itself. But it may have taught everyone a lesson that will be immensely important to the future of the Middle East: The solutions to the big problems that afflict the region are not military but political.
Meanwhile, the same edition of the Post reports Hezbollah's continued refusal to disarm. It's painfully obvious that Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon without destroying Hezbollah will mean even greater suffering and bloodshed when the West finally decides to deal with the problem.
The "lesson" Ignatius talks about should have been learned in 1938, when Neville Chamberlain surrendered Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler. Chamberlain was trying to use the familiar paradigm of diplomacy to deal with something he didn't understand - a true monster. And Hitler was a piker in the monster business compared to Hezbollah and the other Islamic fascist groups. Even the Waffen SS didn't strap explosives to themselves and jump into English schoolbuses. And let's not forget that Hitler came to power through legal democratic means, as have Hezbollah and Hamas.
Ignatius refers to Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora as a "surprise hero" in the ceasefire deal. Siniora's "heroism" apparently consists of helping Hezbollah get the ceasefire agreement watered down to the point where it places virtually no restriction on Hezbollah. For example, Siniora got UN Chapter 7 thrown out. That would have allowed UN peacekeepers to use force to engage and disarm Hezbollah terrorists. Now they'll observe as Hezbollah restocks with fresh missiles from Syria and Iran. Perhaps they'll file reports, and maybe their commander will even fire off a strongly worded protest or two.
Ignatius calls Hezbollah and its leader Hasan Nasrallah the "wild card", which is an apt, if mild, description, but he's judging Nasrallah by Western standards. Ignatius writes that Nasrallah will "lose his new halo" if he attacks Israel again. This is a man who orders suicide attacks against Israeli children; he cares not one whit for any "halo" bestowed upon him by the infidels he despises.
David Ignatius gazes upon the impotence and folly of Western diplomacy and calls it good; peace in our time.
