The prostate organ experiences many complications as it ages among male individuals in their 40 and above years. The prostate enlarges in size, squeezing the urethra hence altering the normal urine passage through the urinary tract. This is a normal process that is non selective and that's why Prost 8 among other supplements have been developed to help offer a solution to the condition. The supplement therefore shrinks the enlarged size of the prostate thus restoring the normal functioning of the organ. The product is composed of natural ingredients that are clinically proven to be effective in promoting the health of the prostate. While going by ratings on the supplements of the same classification in the industry, Prost-8 appears in the top eight as far as effectiveness is concerned.

Name: Luis Niebla
Position: Pitcher
DOB: January 14, 1991
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 180
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
He went 5-2 with a 4.29 ERA for the Gulf Coast League Yankees in 2012 in what was his first taste of professional baseball in the United States and wound up leading the staff in innings pitched [42].
"I went through some good things and some bad things but overall it was a good year," Niebla told PinstripesPlus.com through the help of a translator. "It took some getting used to the weather, the level of play, and to figure out how to throw a couple of pitches."
A pronounced strike-thrower despite his lack of experience, one who has walked just eleven batters through his first 75 1/3 career innings, Niebla has always shown an above average fastball-changeup combination ever since stepping into the organization.
Often compared to former Yankee pitching prospect and current Seattle Mariners' hurler Hector Noesi because of his similarly easy arm motion and ability to throw strikes, like Noesi, Niebla is spending his lower minor league level days working on incorporating a curveball into his repertoire rather than a slider in an effort to slow opposing hitters' bats down.
"I used to throw a slider and now I'm throwing a curveball," he said. "Everything has changed, the grip, the command, everything. Now I feel comfortable with it. Through the season I didn't have much confidence with it."
A much slower and loopier curveball when he first began throwing it, he was able to tighten it up and throw it harder by season's end, and locate it a lot more consistently during Instructional League in particular.
"That's what I'm working on at [both] Instructs. Because I didn't have a curveball before I just really needed the repetitions to get comfortable with the grip, arm angle, and everything. I just needed the reps.
"I still have my slider but I know I need another pitch, an out-pitch. To have a new pitch is very important."
Just like Noesi before him, Niebla has now quickly evolved into a four-pitch hurler and has a very strong foundation from which to build upon going forward.
"I expected to have a better year but I also didn't expect to include a curveball in my repertoire," he said. "I also had to make a couple of changes to my mechanics. I'm getting better and I want to get even better [going forward].
"I feel better. I'm much more confident with my curveball and I'm very comfortable with my mechanics now because I was working on [both of them] throughout the season."
So while he continues to work on all four pitches which on any given day could be above average big league pitches and showing advanced stuff at the lower levels, Niebla also has a lot of room to grow and that gives him exciting long-term potential.
"I've been working on them [the mechanics] to get the lower strike and I'm more comfortable with that too.
"I have a lot to get better at. I feel like I have a lot of room for improvement. For me this is point zero, the first step. I'm only going to get better from here," he concluded.

Repertoire. Fastball, Curveball, Slider, Changeup.
Fastball. The comparisons to Hector Noesi are a bit uncanny and it really begins with the fastball. While he has yet to top out at 97 mph like Noesi had shown in A-ball, he too sits comfortably in the 90-94 mph range and does it with such an effortless motion that opposing batters get the feeling it is coming in even harder. He also can throw strikes with his eyes closed when it comes to his fastball. However, just as was the case with Noesi, while the control is superb the command can be spotty, often times leaving it up in the zone a bit too high. That will be the next big step in his development -- keeping his fastball down more consistently in the strike zone.
Other Pitches. It's rare for a rookie level pitcher to have three secondary pitches in his arsenal but that's exactly what Niebla boasts already. His changeup is big league average most days and can flash above average potential at times. The arm speed is there but the fade and sink can be inconsistent. His slider [which is shelved for now] was his favorite go-to offspeed offering, but at 82-85 mph, which is roughly the same velocity range as his changeup, he needed a slower pitch to give batters another eye level so the Yankees had him incorporate a curveball into his repertoire too. It sat mostly in the 71-73 mph range during the season but then began to spike up to a more respectable 76-77 mph area by the time Instructs rolled around. Both breaking balls are above average pitches when they're going right.
Pitching. Niebla is in full attack mode from the moment he steps on to the mound. He pounds the zone with an array of pitches and seldom pitches behind in the count, which is a good sign for a young pitcher. While that is a big-time positive, it can also be his downfall at times because he doesn't really expand the zone enough when he is ahead in the count. He also has such an ease of motion that it not only helps deceive batters but it allows him to pitch deep into games. Combine that with his strike-throwing efficiency, he is a bullpen's best friend. He also shows good athleticism on the mound and that should mean a real long-term ability to hold runners and field his position well.
Projection. Niebla has all of the fundamentals in place to project as a potential middle to back-end big league starting pitcher someday; four big league pitches, superb control and strike-throwing ability, easy throwing motion, athleticism, and efficiency. He is, however, almost too efficient and will have to learn how to expand the zone and waste some pitches just to keep hitters honest as he moves up the minor league ladder. As solid as he is right now there's still some considerable untapped potential. His command could get much better, especially in the lower-half of the zone, and his stuff could develop more, including potentially throwing a tick or two harder with his fastball. He compares to Hector Noesi in almost every way but the hope is his command in the lower-half develops better by the time he gets to the big leagues.
ETA. 2016. While Niebla is very young when it comes to experience he isn't exactly young in terms of actual age. He will be 22 years at the start of the 2013 season and will need to move somewhat quickly at some point. He's a candidate to break camp with the Charleston RiverDogs but the Yankees could take it slower with him for one more season and start him in Staten Island before accelerating his track.

EXCLUSIVE: After a lengthy stint on broadcast starting with his breakout role on Friends, Michael Rapaport has found a strong second act on cable. On the heels of a showy seasonlong arc on the upcoming season of FX's Justified, Rapaport has signed on to co-star opposite Ed Burns in another cable drama project, TNT pilot Public Morals, executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Written, executive produced, to be directed by and starring Burns, whose father worked for the NYPD during the late 1960s, Public Morals is set in 1967 in New York City's Public Morals Division, where cops walk the line between morality and criminality as the temptations that come from dealing with all kinds of vice can get the better of them. It centers on cop Terry Muldoon (Burns), who knows the line between the good guys and bad guys is thin, and he is determined to raise his sons to be honest and hardworking as he deals with the dark underbelly of the vice world. Rapaport will play Muldoon's partner Charlie Bullman, the muscle of the operation. Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey and Aaron Lubin also executive produce. In features, Rapaport, repped by Resolution and Brillstein Entertainment, was recently seen in hit comedy The Heat.

This sounds like it could be amazing. Look forward.
This guy has got to be the most boring, repetitive, talentless actor in the biz (with absolutely no range). Can't wait to miss this.
Haha – so true. But he has that raspy voice! That doesn't make him a good actor?
A cop show, how refreshing! Where does TNT get such breakthrough concepts?
Which actor are you talking about?

I came out of the bathroom in a baggy blue top and some loose jogging bottoms. I rubbed my long black hair vigorously with a white towel and then walked downstairs. I placed the towel on the kitchen table. I peered around the kitchen but nobody was there.
"In here," a voice said, coming from behind some double doors. I pushed them open gently and scanned the room. Aidan was sitting on the sofa, he patted the space next to him. I walked over to him and sat down. "Okay. Now, there's some things I need to tell you about this whole thing and I-" The front door burst open.
"Freeze! Nobody move an inch," a low but loud voice boomed through the house. My heart thumped in my chest like a tennis ball being thrown up against a wall repeatedly. I held my breath and stared with terrified eyes at Aidan. "You talk, you die," the voice continued. "And don't think I'm joking," he cackled. "Ready or not, here I...." the living room doors edged open a tiny bit. "COME! Here you are." A figure emerged into our vision: A big, broad man with a shaved head and large green tattoos all over his body, holding a handgun. Aidan looked down and shook his head. "And what have we here? A young girl? Aidy, Aidy, Aidy. You're a good little sport, aren't you?"
"You know who she is," he said between clenched teeth. The man gasped.
"Not Alyssa? Oh, you deserve a medal," he laughed, revealing shining white teeth.
"What? Aidan, what's happening?"
"Hmm. I don't recall you being allowed to speak, Alyssa." My eyes widened and I inched backwards. "Ahaahaa, that's what I thought. You crumble underneath me, just like little Aidan did here."
"He's lying," Aidan murmured. "Don't listen to him."
"But who would you trust? The man with a shotgun, or the boy with his head down?" I gulped and looked at Aidan with longing eyes. "Actually," he said, looking upwards. "Don't answer that." A smirk was painted on his face as he came towards us. "Boys!" He shouted, and two men who looked exactly the same as him, just a couple of centimetres shorter, walked in. "Grab them and put them in the van. The back," he laughed.
"Sir, yes sir!" They saluted him, holding their laughter in.
"But children, all laughter aside, this really is a serious situation," the big man said as the other two grabbed mine and Aidan's arms. "Aidan, I don't suppose you've told Alyssa?"
"Told me what?" I asked, my eyes narrowing.
"Well, Barry, I was just about to until this whole charade of yours came parading into my house," Aidan shot him a dirty look as we was carried outside.
"Ahhhh. Well maybe I should explain?" Aidan's eyes widened and his body suddenly tensed and went straight.
"No," he said firmly. "I'll tell her in the van."
"Fair do's," Barry said, shrugging and climbing into the front of the vehicle. The men threw us in the back. The only thing was in there was a couple of stacks of hay, so I took one and sat on it. I leaned my head back against the side and looked up, shutting my eyes.
"Now," I said, "What's all this about?"

You Know You're a Writer When
You know you're a writer when:
1. You constantly churn out ideas for some work in progress wherever you are, even if the ideas don't fit.
2. You can't sleep at night because you are thinking about how to write your next work.
3. You find yourself drawing upon the personalities of people around you (even taking notes, which really freaks people out).
4. You write out ideas and passages (even whole chapters) instead of doing the work at hand.
5. You actually take notes on things you read, highlight passages, even put notes in the margins; everything that seems to give you an idea for writing something.
6. You love reading through other people's work and asking questions about their style and insperation.
7. You ask yourself how your character would deal with a situation.
8. You're never quite happy with you're writing, there is always something that could be better or put in a different way.
9. You speak out loud while writing, trying to figure out what sounds good, how a charater would say something or how they would speak.
10. You try to see how events in the real world could be used in your writing (even taking notes while watching the news, which also freaks people out).

Design Notes
The iconic Mexico 66 was born in 1966 and debuted at the 1968 Olympic games pre-trials in Mexico with a premium white leather, stitched with red and blue tiger stripes. Today, the classic runner has been reawakened and remains to be the most popular shoe in the Onitsuka Tiger collection. Since its revival, the heritage racer gets the full-grain leather treatment on the side panels and tiger stripes, while the heel and toecap are finished off with a smooth suede, accompanied by a natural leather heel tab, branded with the Onitsuka Tiger emblem.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Canasian from Incredibly rich, deep blue. Comfortable, stylish. RG81's review is spot on. The blue dye is so deep and attractive. The leather feels more soft and flexible than the other Mexico 66 shoes (I own Low Black w/Yellow stripes and White Nine Iron, both lovely). The gold lettering and X are a perfect accent to such a dark, concentrated blue. The cushioning is a bit stiff, as are most OT products. Size is pretty big. Comparing to Nike Flyknit products, my 9.5 to 10 (US) foot ended up fitting this Onitsuka Tiger with a half inch to spare in a 9. The shape and profile of the shoe look great and are not too slim. So nice I bought it twice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ming from Perfectly Happy The Mexico 66 is my second pair of Tigers. Bought my first pair - limited edition Japan made Corsair Deluxe in Tokyo a month ago and loved the retro feel and design. A big fan now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RG81 from Sporty, Bold, Retro, Classy For years Ultimate 81s have been my mainstays with Onitsuka Tiger, but I've never actually worn in my mind THE definitive Tiger; the Mexico 66. Still jumping back in time from 81 to 66 was easy. They fit similarly with that classic OT low, grounded feel. It has minimal arch support, and a soft flexible fit. My feet are bit wider than most and it fits fine. The shoe is very "just right" to me. Just enough support without being controlling, just enough cushioning without going numb, just the right style without being garish, etc. There is also a wonderful supple feel to the leather and its the softest from OT that I've owned. The color is Mariana Trench deep; a true dark blue hue that is rich and dimensional without veering into blue/black. Other nice touches are the metal eyelets and gold embossed lettering/cross band around the shoe. Even without trying the standard 66s, I'd say these are definitely worth the premium. It sounds like I'm gushing, but I've haven't been this impressed with tigers since my first pair of 81s.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jmikedlv from Beautifully comfortable I bought my pair of D507L-0152 Mexico 66's about three months ago and they have been absolutely worn in. I can say without a doubt, this pair is one of the comfiest shoes in my closet (and I have AM90's and Free's in there). Leather is butter, and the attention to detail is magnificent. My only gripe with it is that the leather used on these Deluxe pair is extremely difficult to clean, so you gotta be extra careful where you wear these as stains WILL stay.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Zena from The most comfortable shoes I own I actually have 5 pairs of the Mexico 66 style including a slip on pair I love them. They look great with shorts and jeans. A bit more cushioning in the heel would make them even more comfortable. My daughter came and talked me into giving her one if my pairs .

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
It was a Bus Stop Violation for passing by a Bus while the stop arm was extended. I was turning left into the road from a 3 way T- Intersection. There was a school bus which was parked not too far from the corner of the street (about 2 car lengths). Apparently I missed the stop sign that was extended and 2 months later I received a fine of $300 by mail. There was a video camera inside the stopped bus and a Peace Officer reviewed the material and issued the fine to me.
The letter sent to me had 3 snapshots of the car that was in violation (1. Front of the car after I made the turn 2. A closer snapshot of my back license plate (very blurry) 3. The rear of my car as I passed the stoparm).
Assuming you are the registered owner of this car, passing school bus tickets are designed to shock you by hitting your wallet. Your best bet is to strike a deal for deferred probation and cool it on the road.
Good luck

Highway patrol advises how to avoid animal versus car collisions
MISSOULA, Mont. - Studies show drivers have the greatest chance of hitting a deer in November and Montana ranks second on the list of states where a deer collision is most likely to happen.
We wanted to give drivers some tips on how to avoid animal wrecks so Sunday afternoon we met with highway patrol troopers to learn more.
It's a situation Montana drivers know all too well but trooper Michael Burman says with a deer in the headlights, there are precautions you can take to keep you and your family safe.
"If the deer comes out in the road in front of you and you are traveling highway speeds the most important thing to me is to safely get the speed off as quick as you can," Burman says.
Burman advises not to try and swerve out of the way unless you're positive you can do it safely.
"What we see a lot of times is that big first emergency reaction is too big," he says. "Then the car's gone out of control and that's where you'll hear us say hit the deer before you take a large emergency reaction that's going to put your car out of control."
With 21 years on the job Burman says a driver is much more likely to survive an animal versus vehicle collision than a rollover from over-reacting.
"Moose are a particularly dangerous animal but on the other hand a rollover is always a bad situation," he says.
Troopers tell NBC Montana deer and many other animals come out in the early hours of the morning and at dusk around 6 to 9 at night, so if you're driving at one of these times make sure and keep an eye out for signs that indicate popular spots on the interstate or highway for animals to cross.
If there isn't enough time to avoid the animal, Burman says to try and lessen your impact.
"Try and make the impact as off-angled and not direct as you can," he says. "From there the most important thing is keep control as best you can."
Deer generally travel in herds so if you see one there's a strong chance there are more.
"If you're seeing the deer on the hills and stuff a lot and there's the river down there that's a good idea that that's going to be a danger area," says Burman.
Above all he says focus on driving, keep your eyes on the road and both hands on the wheel.

Communicating Securely
Here at Owners Direct we work hard to create a secure marketplace for the holiday rental industry. That means staying on top of the latest scams, which criminals are using to access private information and providing solutions to help protect owners from being targeted. Phishing is a serious problem on the internet in general and is a particular threat to holiday rental owners.
What is "Phishing"?
Phishing is a common form of online identity theft, and it occurs when a criminal is able to capture someone's email address and password and access their inbox. Criminals are then able to intercept enquiries from holidaymakers and request reservation payments without their knowledge. Holidaymakers can lose money and owners and property managers can lose bookings.
Do you want to learn more and know how to recognise phishing?
What is Owners Direct doing to help?
Messages from holidaymakers and your responses to those messages go through our private system. This helps protect you and your potential guests from phishing and identity theft by removing any mention of your email address in the communication.
Your enquiries and responses to those enquiries come from an anonymous HomeAway address (firstname.lastname@example.com).
You can still email back and forth with your guests from your personal email account or from your owner dashboard. Your email address is removed from these messages to protect you from phishers who send enquiries just to get a response from you, at which time they "steal" the email address and start communicating with holidaymakers in an attempt to have them send payments. In addition, email addresses included in the conversation/open text areas on the page will be removed and be replaced with ------------@-.--
In order to see the holidaymaker's email address you need to visit the "Enquiries" tab within your OwnersDirect.co.uk dashboard. In your dashboard, you also have the added bonus of being able to review conversation histories between you and your guests.
*This feature is not yet available to all customers, but it will be soon. We will keep you informed.
What happens if I don't use OwnersDirect.co.uk's system for communicating with guests?
We do not recommend sharing your email address with holidaymakers, as the conversation will no longer be protected. If you copy and paste the email address into a new email using your email provider, any online criminal who has phished your account can see it and begin to intercept communications.
Is it more secure if I use my OwnersDirect.co.uk dashboard?
All communications in your dashboard are more secure because they are behind a login. It's also fine to use your personal email, as long as the email enquiries and responses have come through our secure system and have an anonymous email address.
Will OwnersDirect.co.uk be monitoring my conversations?
OwnersDirect.co.uk uses technology similar to spam filtering to monitor for suspicious patterns, viruses, malicious software and spam to help reduce phishing and spam enquiries but it is not reading your communication.
If you are suspicious of an enquiry you've received, please call +44 (0) 208 827 1998, 24hrs a day - 7 days a week, to report your concern.

The roses of a savage garden
Our life is but a savage garden,
The roses grow, but very few,
amidst the green, they thirst for dew.
the thorns outnumber every blossom,
hurting if we are not cautious.
when we turn and yearn for light,
our faces warmed, the hurt forgotten,
desert rain brings us life,
growing up into a promise.

The deep gene pool that has allowed wheat to achieve ever increasing gains in yield may be draining. Crop scientists estimate that 50% of the gain in wheat production over the past century has been due to breeding. According to a new study, however, that improvement has been slowing since the late 1980s, with little chance that future increases in yield can be met by breeding efforts alone. The ...

One question..Why?
Bang-Go A Big No?
By new2thegame on 7/22/08
By Mallory, oobgolf intern
Golf Girl has made the find of the century, the Bang-go. What is the Bang-go you ask? The Bang-go is a new hat type product that has a detachable visor. The difference between the Bang-go and the regular hat is the space for your bangs. Yes, thats right ladies, the Bang-go allows your bangs to blow freely in the wind while the rest of your hair is out of the way. So instead of a ponytail and visor or a nice headband and sunglasses, the Bang-go is the new way to go.
Golf hasn't always been fashionable but in recent years things have been going pretty well. There are even companies that specialize in cute golf apparel. So is the Bang-go in this category? I don't think so. I would rather have a serious case of hat hair than commit this fashion felony. So Golf Girl if the golf world embraces this product, you will not be the only one without a Bang-go.
So here's the question would you buy one of these for yourself or a spouse? (Heck, would you even golf with someone wearing a Bang-go? )
More about the Bang-go cap here.

hogan72 says:
hey, mr_hungry. break 80 and the gang-go cap is all yours. how's that for incentive?
hogan72 says:
you say bang-go, i say gang-go...
drew1473 says:
i wouldnt care if my fiance' wore the bang-go, when we played golf. I probably wouldnt buy it for her, but I would let her buy it for herself, haha
klangdon says:
I would pay to see someone wearing one of these with the moused up bangs from the 90s.
TaylorFade says:
Puddles says, "Umm... what? That's gay. Why wouldn't you just wear a visor if you want your bangs hangin' out?"
falcon50driver says:
Josh says:
I told my wife (who doesn't golf) that she was getting one of these for Christmas this year.... the level of eye-roll was unprecedented! I'd say these are a fail, maybe they will sell some to people who like to make bets with their friends that involve the loser doing something embarassing...
Andrew, you order one of these for us to punish each other with yet? Somehow I'm thinking you singing karaoke in one of these is in our future.
golfgirl says:
Please, golf already has an image problem due to the plaid bell bottoms and outlandish argyles of the 70s. Let's not bring this horrendous headgear into the mix.
drew1473 says:
I like the argyles and the plaid pants. haha! Just messing with ya golfgirl
jerdman says:
Well if chicks get that, I want a hat that will let me sport a 5 inch mohawk while keeping the rest of my head cool and shady.
falcon50driver says:
Now that's funny , I don't care who you are.

IsoWhey Hot Chocolate is disappearing like vapour this summer
With the cold winter months well behind us and a hot scorching summer well underway, we've put away our warm woollen shirts and coats and swapped them for t-shirts and shorts. It also means no more snuggling on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate wrapped between our hands. Unfortunately this means no more IsoWhey Hot Chocolate is being supplied!
But, the last 400 can still be found at Your Chemist Shop!
So if you like your chocolate drinks hot in summer and want to get into shape before hitting the streets in your summer attire, get in quick before they disappear from the country!
Did you know?
IsoWhey hot chocolate can also be mixed into cold water or low fat milk for a cold chocolate beverage.

It's only free for graduates of an Idaho hunter education course who have never had a hunting license, age 10-17. Call your regional Fish and Game office and find out when the next registration day is. On that day, sign her up for a course. After successfully completing the course she will receive the free license. It is good for hunting upland game and waterfowl. It is not good for turkeys or sandhill cranes. If she is interested in hunting turkeys or sandhill cranes, she needs to get the Youth Small Game Hunting License for $6.50. For big game, she'll have to wait until she's 12 and get the Junior Hunting License.

Chicago federal courts busy with labor litigation in 2016, but less than NY, California
Chicago's federal courts again were a busy place for employers facing lawsuits in 2016, according to court data and a survey published by one of the nation's top employment and labor law firms. However, the survey from Chicago-based Seyfarth Shaw LLP found Chicago's courts are still outpaced by courts in New York and California in some categories, perhaps most notably the number of class action certifications.

EEOC issues rules on employee wellness programs, even as court fights rage over its take on the law
The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued regulations last month about what employers can and cannot do to encourage or even require employee participation in employer-sponsored wellness programs, while still complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act (GINA).But those new rules have come amid pitched legal battles over whether the commission's interpretation of those law is even correct.
Seventh Circuit says employers can't force workers to sign away rights to sue over OT, other wage claims
Employers can still ask employees to sign contracts sending disputes over overtime or other wage and hour issues to arbitration, bypassing the courts.

I probably am but surprisingly I don't care. Because you are everything I want.
It's like when I am at my worst you appear.
This beautiful light chasing away the demons that threaten to drown me.
I thank you for that.
I would travel forever to be where you are.
To just touch you.
God, your eyes are like deep, blue waves crashing over and over.
I get so lost in them.
I could stare at them forever.
