How does this Medication Discount Card work?
Medication cards are like "reusable prescription drug coupons", allowing consumers access to lower drug prices when filling/re-filling prescriptions. Simply present this medication savings card to the pharmacist to see if a discount is available on the prescription you're filling. Remember, the Medication Card is free, pre-activated, no paper work, no deductibles, never expires, and everyone qualifies. This program covers your entire household including your pets too!
Who can use Medication Discount Card?
Everyone, with or without insurance, should keep a Medication Card on hand. If you're under or un-insured, have a high co-pay or deductible, a lapse in coverage, or utilize a Health Savings Account (HSA), the card can provide added savings that you may not otherwise get. If you have insurance, the card may provide discount not covered by your plan, on other family member's prescriptions, or medications for your pets when purchased from the pharmacy.
How much do I save with Medication Discount Card?
The Medication Card provides a discount of up to 75% at more than 58,000 participate pharmacies, depending on the drug you're getting. Your card provides discounts on both brand-name and generic drugs. The easiest way to find out how much your Medication Card saves you is to take your card into your pharmacy and ask for your discounted price, before getting your prescription filled. The card does not offer discount on the already "discounted drugs" list found in some stores, or when the stores regular price is lower than the discount card price.

Can I get bulk Medication Cards to hand out?
With nearly 50 million uninsured Americans paying full price on their healthcare costs, we encourage Doctors, Dentists, Churches, Associations, Charity Organizations, Companies, and Local Governments to provide their members with free access to our discount prescription drug card, please Contact Us.
Does this Medication Card really help me save on my pet's medications?
Yes. Many prescriptions that pets take can be filled at a regular pharmacy and are eligible for discounts with the Medication Card. Please share a Medication Card with your veterinarian, groomer, or kennel so they can pass the information on to their patients and customers.

Thanks for the info, tried it, to no avail unfortunatley. Might be the centrino2 system... dunno
To configure intel-hda sound just edit the /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and add this:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack
Reboot and that's about it.
Thanks for the info, tried it, to no avail unfortunatley. Might be the centrino2 system... dunno
I had the same problem with the intel and those commands didn't help, so i ended up installing the new alsa v1.18a drivers and the sound worked perfectly.
btw, i have centrino duo platform with intel core2duo paired with intel pro/wireless 3945abg mini pci-e.
i think that the new drivers will help u 2.
didn't work
Go jump off a bridge ;)
I just finished upgrading to 22.214.171.124 and it fixed the problem altogether, the new centrino2 and c2d platforms seem to need the new kernel. Too many new options and devices embedded in these things... works great though
I have a post in the BT3F forum chronicling my struggles with this.
Mine is Intel Copporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) HDA Controller
And i had only to do that....
And if you add a new user check if that user is part of the audio group
i am currently using an acer aspire 5315 and i have searched all over the web on how configure my audio card and still i cannot find a solution. I am using the Backtrack 3 Live final version if that helps in any way.
can someone please help me.
To up your volumen in intel card, run the next command:
$sudo alsamixer
and modifies it like youself want....

Extension > Youth Development > Minnesota 4-H > Minnesota 4-H Policies
Minnesota 4-H Policies
Understanding policies
Why policies, rules and deadlines?
Policies are intended to guide decisions and achieve rationale outcomes. Minnesota 4-H policies provide general direction to staff, volunteers, members and their family, on a course of action as it relates to the 4-H Youth Development program in Minnesota. Any individual participating and/or volunteering with the Minnesota 4-H program at any level (individual, club, county, regional, state, national and international) is subject to the policies, rules, deadlines and behavior standards governing participation and involvement.
Rules define in written form acceptable behavior, action or operation. Rules have consequences if not followed. Minnesota 4-H has rules related to membership, volunteering, youth and adult behavior (code of conduct), participation in projects and competitive events, and use of resources.
Deadlines are the dates by which something needs to be completed. Minnesota 4-H sets some deadlines statewide with other deadlines established locally. Deadlines may or may not have consequences. Every Minnesota 4-H member is eligible for a "one time exemption" from the consequences associated with missing a single competitive event deadline.
How are 4-H policies, rules and deadlines determined?
When considering whether to implement or change a policy, rule or guideline, Minnesota 4-H considers the following:
- Is this a legal expectation required by their group exemption status as a public non-profit organization and/or by federal and/or state statute?
- Is this a requirement of the University of Minnesota Extension, University of Minnesota, and/or National 4-H Headquarters at USDA?
- Will this attract and retain youth, volunteers, and partners who reflect a broad interpretation of diversity?
- Will this reflect positive youth development principles and practices?
- Will this enhance the quality of the learning environment?
- Will this ensure an equitable and uniform opportunity for participation in cooperative and competitive learning experiences?
- Will this promote and expect efficient and effective use of fiscal and human resources?
Membership and code of conduct
Minnesota 4-H Youth Development, a part of the University of Minnesota, offers a range of short and long term educational programs that meet the needs of young people from kindergarten through one year past high school. All youth participating in any program offered by Minnesota 4-H Youth Development are considered 4-H members. This definition of membership emphasizes our public and organizational commitment to ensuring the diverse youth of this state have equal opportunity for participation (intensity, duration, breadth) in quality (safe, supportive, interactive, engaging) learning experiences. Learn more about how youth can participate in 4-H.
Nearly all youth involved in a 4-H program must be enrolled in 4-H and their complete enrollment data (club and project selection is optional) collected and entered into 4HOnline. This allows Minnesota 4-H to track participation for program management and reporting purposes and ensure member safety through adequate risk management.The two exceptions to the enrollment policy are as follows: a) short-term low-risk marketing programs where the parent or responsible adult are present and responsible for their child(ren); and b) a U of M program agreement is in place with a collaborating partner who manages the enrollment and assumes the liability and risk.
County boundaries should not be barriers to 4-H participation. Therefore, youth may enroll in 4-H across county lines and/or state borders. Youth will enroll in one county which becomes their home county. When establishing new 4-H clubs that have youth enrolled from several counties, a home county must be designated for the group.
New members may enroll at any time during the year. Returning members must re-enroll each year; enrollment opens on Sept. 15 and youth are encouraged to enroll before the end of Oct. but enrollment will be accepted throughout the year. Consequences of enrolling later are as follows:
- Youth who have not re-enrolled may no longer receive direct communication about 4-H opportunities.
- Youth who have not re-enrolled may not serve as an officer or vote at a meeting of the 4-H club, federation/council or other organized group.
- Youth must enroll/re-enroll prior to participating in any 4-H program including, but limited to, club activities, project meetings, and events; those not enrolled will not be allowed to actively participate. (e.g. Youth may not practice with or attend the project bowl event until enrollment is completed.)
- Youth who re-enroll after May 15 will not have full privileges when participating in the county fair and other competitive events. Review the exceptions to this rule and the specific consequences on the competitive events, deadlines, consequences and exemption options table. Every Minnesota 4-H member is eligible one-time in their 4-H career to file a "one-time member exemption" acknowledging they missed a 4-H deadline related to enrollment or competitive event participation and waive the consequences for the named deadline. The "one-time" member exemption form is available from the county Extension office in the county of membership.
During the enrollment process, youth and their parents complete a member authorization statement. This member authorization statement includes a medical authorization, waiver and release, privacy statement, photo release, transportation consent and code of conduct agreement.
- Member authorization statements (English version) (Spanish version) (Somali version) (PDF)
Special circumstances
Youth who are home schooled are considered enrolled in 4-H by the grade they would be in if they were being educated in a public school setting. This means the following:
- A child who is 5 by Sept. 1 of the school year is eligible to enter kindergarten and thus, is eligible to enroll as a cloverbud in Minnesota 4-H.
- A child who is 8 by Sept.1 of the school year is eligible to enter third grade and thus, is eligible to enroll in projects.
- A member who is 11 by Sept. 1 of the school year is eligible to enter sixth grade and thus, is eligible to attend the state fair experience at the end of the 4-H program year.
- A member who is 18 by Sept. 1 of the school year is eligible to enter their first year of post-high school education and thus begins their final year as a member of 4-H.
Youth who drop out of high school are considered enrolled in 4-H by the grade they were in when they dropped out and will continue to move through their remaining years in 4-H one year at a time. For example, if a 4-H member dropped out of high school during his/her junior year, he/she would be able to complete that year of 4-H and would be eligible for two more years of enrollment (one representing the senior year and one representing the final year after graduation).
Youth with special needs are considered enrolled in 4-H based on their grade in school. Minnesota State Law requires access to public schools until the age of 21. Thus, a 4-H club could include a 22-year-old special needs member if he/she is still enrolled in school. Participation at Minnesota 4-H activities and events outside the framework of the graduation policy must be pre-approved by the center staff most closely connected with the activity/event.
Youth who obtain college credits through a post-secondary program will be considered enrolled in 4-H by the grade they would be in if they were still enrolled in the traditional program.
Graduation from Minnesota 4-H is based on grade. Mandatory graduation from Minnesota 4-H will occur one year after graduation from high school. In other words, youth who graduate from high school in the spring will be allowed to enroll in 4-H for their final year of membership later that fall. It is suggested that county programs recognize full graduation for those members who wish to cease their 4-H enrollment upon graduation from high school.
Code of conduct
A standard of behavior for all individuals involved in our program is one of the key components for creating a welcoming learning environment that is physically and emotionally safe. Thus, any individual participating and/or volunteering with the Minnesota 4-H program at any level (individual, club, county, regional, state, national and international) is subject to the behavior standards and rules governing participation and involvement as outlined in the Minnesota 4-H Code of Conduct. The authorization for the code of conduct included in the enrollment process indicates that youth and their parents/guardians have read, accept, and will abide by the full University of Minnesota Extension 4-H Youth Development (Minnesota 4-H) Code of Conduct. Minnesota 4-H Volunteers agree to accept and abide by the Minnesota 4-H Code of Conduct during volunteer enrollment/re-enrollment.

Competitive Events
State and county deadlines and consequences
Minnesota 4-H has a set of deadlines that provide a balance between welcoming youth and making the workload manageable for Extension employees. The competitive events, deadlines, consequences and exemption options table has been created to assist 4-H members, families and 4-H staff in understanding state and county 4-H individual competitive event deadlines, consequences applied to each situation/deadline, and the use of the one-time exemption to remove all consequences for a single situation/deadline. This chart is for statewide use; staff have access to table that can be localized for the county. Details regarding filing a "one-time" exemption are included with grievances processes.
County fairs
Rules and procedures for county fairs are outlined in the county fair premium book. 4-H adopted the following procedures effective for 2014.
- 4-H competitive events: Absentee judging of projects
- 4-H competitive events: Judging experiences for youth with disabilities or injuries
State fair
National Events
Many national events have age eligibility rules for 4-H participation that are younger than the age for Minnesota 4-H graduation policy. Teams at these national events will not be able to contain participants that do not meet national contest eligibility. These individuals can still compete at the state level as an individual if the contest includes individual competition.
Participation in cross county 4-H competitive events
Youth may participate in non-quota competitive events in different counties. In quota based competitive events, youth will only be allowed to participate in competitive events in the county where they are enrolled unless that competitive event is not offered in the home county. In this case, quota adjustments will be made with the other county concerned in cooperation with the staff member responsible for the the regional/state event. Leadership for determining provision of participation and/or registration scholarships and/or fee waivers is the responsibility of the home county in which the young person is enrolled.
Learn everything you need to know about participating in 4-H.
Exemption and grievance processes
Process for missed deadlines
Because life sometimes gets in the way of a member or an entire family submitting the appropriate paperwork by the deadline, Minnesota 4-H has implemented a "member exemption rule." The purpose of this exemption is to provide every 4-H member with the ability "one-time" during their 4-H career to acknowledge that they have missed a 4-H deadline related to enrollment or competitive event participation and waive the consequences for the named deadline.
- The exemption is per 4-H member.
- The exemption may be used only one time in a 4-H member's career.
- If a family misses a deadline for all eligible children, the family may choose to use the exemption for each child, or they may select which children would use their exemption at this time. This allows families to have choice in whether to use the exemption for a child now or to save the exemption for a potential future situation.
The competitive events, deadlines, consequences and exemption options table outlines the state and county 4-H individual competitive event deadlines, consequences applied to each situation/deadline, and the use of the one-time exemption to remove all consequences for a single situation/deadline.
Youth who wish to claim the "one-time" exemption may obtain the appropriate form from the Extension office in the county of membership. Timeline for the filing of the exemption form is outlined on the table.
Process for rule violation or alleged wrongdoings
The 4-H grievance process provides a vehicle by which to respond to 4-H member's concerns relating to their 4-H program participation. A grievance may be filed and a local volunteer grievance committee convened to address rule violations and alleged wrongdoing. A grievance committee will not be convened for the following situations: a) decisions made by judges, which are final; b) missed deadlines which are covered through the "one-time member exemption process;" and, c) code of conduct related violations which will be addressed by staff according to an established process.
The grievance committee process outlines what may and may not be grieved, who may file a grievance, and the processes for filing and hearing a grievance. The grievance form is completed by the Minnesota 4-H member and his/her parent/guardian if they wish to grieve a situation/decision related to an alleged wrongdoing or rule violation.
The grievance committee position description explains the purpose of the committee and the responsibilities of the committee members. Individuals who are invited by Extension youth development staff to serve on a grievance committee and agree to this role, complete the grievance committee member contract.

Dr. Monga has been my childs Doctor since the day she was born and she's an amazing doctor. Her staff is always helpful and I never feel like a stranger. The doctor has the best follow up I have ever experienced. Although my daughter hasn't been in for awhile she had other issues with scolioses. The doctor referred me to a specialist, and then has checked up on with us several times to see how my daughter is acclimating and coping. Doctor Monga is caring and professional and always there for us.
Dr.Monga is a wonderful doctor with pleasant bedside manners.She listens to all your concerns how ever silly they might be when you are a first time mom and clarifies all your questions without being condescending. Dr.Bhatt is also very good and very pleasant to interact with.

I needed a referral for my baby. The doctors office didn't send the referral notes to the medical group. When I called them, they lied to me that they already sent it. And the medical group told me that, they didn't receive anything. So, I asked the doctor's office to send the approval one more time. They said, they are very busy with other patients.They cannot send it again. I have to literally change my ped to get it done.
WOW! I was so impressed. This was our first time visit for both my kids. Everything from the front desk girl, waiting time, the nurse, and the doctor was increadable. The waiting room was cute too. What a wonderful change from the doctors office we use to visit. I love Dr. Monga. So sweet and attentive. Thank you!!!!

The Citrus County Chronicle was founded by Albert M. Williamson, a Floral City resident in July 1890. The intent of the original newspaper was to get announcements of merchandise and goods sales to people living in the Hernando,Inverness, and Floral City areas. Most of these first advertisements ran on one page.
Editor J.F. Sherwood set the small type and layouts by hand. Money was so scarce he credited subscribers by name and when they came in to pay their bills. "O.M. Johnson stopped by the Chronicle office today to pay his subscription," he wrote. "Mr. Johnson says he can't get along without it."
The ads that appeared were a sign of the times. A pound of sugar went for 5 cents, fresh eggs sold for 8 to 11 cents a pound, and coffee was 21 and 22 cents a pound. Chickens and turkeys were offered at 10 cents a pound and so were sugar-cured hams.
Sherwood, it is recorded, sold the newspaper to a Rev. Geiger at the time when Jim Priest was sheriff, George Carter was his deputy, and Walter Warnock was the county clerk. Warnock, born in President Jimmy Carter's hometown of Plains, Georgia, took over ownership of the Chronicle in the late 1890's and began to formulate the character of the paper with news items and features.
Circulation began increasing and so did poor paying, delinquent advertisers. Warnock was appointed deputy clerk of Circuit Court in 1897 and was elected Clerk of Circuit Court in 1900. After his election, Warnock listed himself as Editor and proprietor of the Chronicle and George Butler as "local editor". Later Warnock sold the weekly paper and took his family to Mexico to grow citrus fruit.
George Butler, then 70 years old, became owner and editor of the Chronicle in 1914. He predicted "The time will come when a cigarette smoker cannot get a situation anywhere in the State". As we see in today's headlines, Butler wasn't far off the mark with his prediction.
In the summer of 1914, while the war with Germany was raging in Europe, Albert W. Butler became editor and owner. Butler reported the close-down of many of the phosphate mines in the area, "pending operations of the European war." Most of the mines were never reopened.
In 1926, when Minor L. Smith was managing editor, the Chronicle caused a flurry of talk in the community when it announced it would run comic pages featuring Jiggs and Maggie, Polly and Her Pals, the Katzenjammer Kids, Harold Teen and others.
The year 1928 was the beginning of the calamitous depression era in Citrus County. The Chronicle reported the Citizens Bank of Inverness, established in 1912, was placed in the hands of the State Comptroller. In that same October-November period, Citizens Bank officially closed, and shortly after the New year of 1929 the board of directors of the Citrus Bank voted to suspend the business.
In June 1929 the Bank of Crystal River failed to open for business. Only one bank was left in Citrus County, the Chronicle reported, and that was the Bank of Homosassa Springs, which was moved to Inverness. It became a receiver for two defunct banks and changed its name to Homosassa-Inverness Bank and eventually became the Bank of Inverness.
Two other events took place in Citrus County later that year. In October the town of Crystal River was flooded with a tidal wave, and row boats had to be used on Main Street, "the second one since 1896", the Chronicle reported. In Inverness, the $800 clock in the courthouse tower lost 15 minutes and all activities in town went on late schedule including businesses, the schools, lunches and suppers. The Chronicle editorialized complaining the clock should be set at least twice a year "to keep it within a day or two of the right time."
Joseph J. Wilson of Clearwater took over the editorial reins of the paper in April 1929. During the boom, the Chronicle was running 10 to 12 pages a week - after the crash it was hard pressed to turn out four pages. Wilson managed to pull the paper out of a financial hole, and kept after local businesses with a two-column headline, "DOES INVERNESS WANT THE CHRONICLE?". It was a plea for support and for a time businessmen managed to scrape up enough money for advertising to keep it in print.
Wilson, a go-getting creative editor, kept subscribers' interest through his lively and timely editorials. In those editorials he established goals for the community to help return to prosperity.
He advocated general farming, tobacco growing, tung oil trees, organization of a Chamber of Commerce, the advertising of fishing to lure tourists, unity of thought and action to get businesses located here, and more work and less sitting around.
Famed baseball star Dazzy Vance bought the Homosassa Hotel in the early 30's; cattle tick fever resulted in the dipping of all cattle every 14 days for a year and a half in vats to eradicate the pests. Movies were 10 cents for kids and 25 cents for adults. Editor J.J. Wilson proposed printing the minutes of the Citrus County Commission for $15 a month to apply on taxes - they settled for $10.
In 1934, the Chronicle was edited by B.C. Ellsworth, who reported that boxing champ Max Baer "stopped by Laniers Drug Store for a cold drink while on his way from Tampa to Jacksonville for a four-round exhibition fight."
Taylor Dawson became the Chronicle editor in 1935, and he tore into the editor of the Tampa Tribune for disparaging both the idea and that first work on the Cross Florida Barge Canal which had just started. The canal idea actually started over 400 years ago when spanish explorers saw it as a short cut from the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico. Funds of $5 million were appropriated by President Franklin Roosevelt with the promise of more to come as they were needed. Anti-canal forces in those days used to excuse the canal would dry up the state's water supply. Citrus County voters voted to issue right-of-way bonds for the canal, with 483 in favor and only 37 against.
In 1935 Scofield Publishing Company, owners of the Chronicle, acquired the Dunnellon Sun, and Taylor Dawson added the new paper his duties.
Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the President, stopped at the Seminole lunch Room in Hernando on her way from Jacksonville to Sarasota to visit her aunt. The visit was reported by the Chronicle correspondent, Mrs. R.M. Spires, who wrote that "the first lady radiated personality".
By the year 1940, Citrus County had a population of 5,844, an increase of 328 people in 10 years. The country was growing. Florida's population, according to the Chronicle, was 1.8 million.
In 1942, casualty lists were being carried by the Chronicle: Pvt. Eugene Quinn, Seaman Bently Halbert, Jack Carter and P. Blanton. Citrus County had 49 men in the service at the time and sent more than 150 more. Mrs. M.C. Scofield, editor of the Chronicle in 1944, wrote in a front page story, the "Yuletide spirit in Citrus County was conspicuous by its absence".
On May 10, 1945 Chronicle headlines in 120-point type shouted "MAY 8th V-E DAY". County Commissioners erected an honor roll of veterans listing 600 names - including 22 who paid the supreme sacrifice for their county. It was noted 11 percent of Citrus County's people were in the service.
In November of 1945, Mrs. Scofield stepped down as editor and J.R. Harkreader took over the editorial reins. He was succeeded in July 1946 by Alton B. Claytor, who died in Jacksonville in 1947.
Scofield sold his rights to the Chronicle in May 1946 to N.A. Perry of Bradenton, who sold it shortly afterward to J.R. Hough. One year later, Col. George H. Johnson bought both the Chronicle and the Dunnellon Sun from Hough. One of the big stories of the year was the dedication of the Inverness Airport in August 1947. Citrus County population at that time was recorded to be 6,000.
Before the end of 1948, the Chronicle was sold again to Paul W. Ramsey, former city editor of the Chicago Sun. In January 1949, veteran public official, author, and entrepreneur, Judge E.C. May stepped down from office. he took an ad in the Chronicle - the paper that had served him well when he opened a store in Hernando in 1894 - to bid farewell to his friends and constituents. Judge May had served 24 years as a judge and 50 years as a legislator, state attorney and as a practicing attorney.
In April of 1949 the Chronicle reported the Florida State Legislature had passed a bill to levy a 3 mill tax for the use in acquiring land and building a hospital. Editor Paul Ramsey sharply criticized the passage of a state sales tax bill. It was also the year the governor outlawed cattle and livestock on the highway with fence laws to be effective on July 1, 1950.
July 11, 1957 was the date the Chronicle editorialized as "a day to be remembered - the day we dedicated our new hospital." The $400,000 Citrus Memorial Hospital was dedicated to better health and welfare of the people.
In the beginning of 1958, editor Ramsey ran stories on the opening of a new golf course at Paradise Country Club near Crystal River, a new shopping center in Inverness and St. Ann's Episcopal Church. Gasoline prices were 21.9 cents a gallon.
After 11 years of publication by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ramsey, the Chronicle was bought by Mr. and Mrs. Phil Bennett of the Bennett-Hahn Company in June 1959. In the last editorial Ramsey wrote: "Giving up the publishing of the newspaper is something like saying goodbye to a friend who is gay and rewarding and entertaining at times - and at others as cantankerous and ornery as a hungry mule..."
Woodward Field was designated the official name of the Crystal River-Homosassa Air Terminal. It was named for the late Major C.D. Woodward for his efforts in making the airfield a reality. Bob Tannehill was news editor of the Chronicle at the time.
The Bennett-Hahn Company announced they were selling the Chronicle to Frances and Carl Turner of Waupaca, Wisconsin. The Turners also published three newspapers in their home state.
Elvis Presley made a movie in Citrus County in 1961 titled "Follow that Dream". He made his appearance in Inverness on July 19th for a courthouse scene, with coverage of the "historic" event captured on the pages of the Chronicle. Turner died suddenly on June 19, 1962 at his Wisconsin home, and his wife sold the Chronicle to a group in St. Petersburg headed by Robert L. Chamberlain and former St. Petersburg mayor Herman Goldner.
Early in 1964, 33-year-old David S. Arthurs purchased the Chronicle from the St. Petersburg group. A native of Atchison, Kansas, Arthurs had come to Florida to work as a publishing supervisor of the John H. Perry newspapers in Delray and Palatka.
THE 80's and BEYOND
When the young publisher and editor took over the paper, the population of the county had grown to about 19,000. And when he merged with Landmark Community Newspapers, Inc. in September 1980, the county had zoomed to nearly 70,000.
Arthurs had selected Gerry Mulligan, former editor of the Brooksville Sun-Journal, to head up the editorial department of the newspaper. Gary Manning joined the company in 1980 in the position of General Manager.
In 1981, the Chronicle converted to a tri-weekly publication, serving the entire Citrus County market. In the same year the Florida Press Association named the newspaper Florida's best weekly newspaper. Two years later the newspaper won the state's most prestigious journalism award presented by the press association.
In 1982, the newspaper had finally outgrown it's historic courthouse square location and had moved into a modern new publishing facility on SR 44 in Inverness, the current location of our existing Inverness satellite office. At the same time, the paper remodeled it's historic Crystal River office on Crystal Street.
By 1986, the Chronicle had grown into a daily publication and employed over 160 employees, correspondents, and contractors.
In July 1990, the newspaper had once again outgrown it's publishing facility, under the leadership of Publisher Gerry Mulligan. Leaving the Inverness location, the newspaper relocated it's main offices and production plant to our existing operation in Meadowcrest, Crystal River.
The product line of Citrus Publishing, Inc. has grown significantly since it's humble beginnings. In addition to our core publication of the daily Chronicle, Citrus Publishing, Inc. circulated the weekly editions of the Sumter County Times, Riverland News, South Marion Citizen, The Visitor, Chiefland Citizen and Williston Sun News Pioneer.
Specialty and niche advertising publications of the company include the Florida Real Estate News covering a multi-county distribution area stretching from Pasco County to Perry Florida; Nature Coastlines - a tourism targeted bimonthly guide circulated at selected distribution points in multi-county area along Florida's nature coast; and Advertiser Express a weekly distribution to non-subscribing households in Citrus County.
The company has also stayed in step with changing times, and in many cases, been the leader in utilizing the latest technology. From moving away from old school paste-up boards by implementing state-of-the-art pagination systems in the pre-press process of the Chronicle and weekly editions, to putting the newspaper online for viewing on the World Wide Web, Citrus Publishing, Inc. has been bold in changing the way we work.

I heard that Wooten was going to stop fighting a while ago, did I hear right? I guess he carried on. If its true it could pose a question about his mentality for mma.
Fuck no-gi
I've seen a lot of talented lads in the gym who could have made it but through many reasons, work, family etc. could not put the time in and commit to it.
To make it as a pro you have to make it your job, unfortunately until you get to a certain level it is not financially viable for a lot of people, regardless of talent and mentality.
Especially in the UK where shows are very political, if you 'might' be fighting every 3 months if you are lucky, maybe a grand a fight, that's 4 grand a year !!! Minus expenses for training, food etc. plus if you have kids .... do the math.
Even if you can commit to it who's to say you are going to make it ...? It's a massive risk and then what do you fall back on.

Foundations of complex language have been found in colonies of unusual furry animals called hyraxes.
Hyraxes, which resemble rodents but are more closely related to elephants or manatees, often cluck, snort, squeak, tweet and wail songs from the perches of their rocky colonies.
By recording hundreds of the animals' songs and applying clever mathematics, researchers discovered that differences in note arrangement, or syntax, in hyrax songs vary as the distance increases between colonies — a surprising occurrence of dialect.

President Barack Obama on Wednesday urged cooperation from the Libyan government in the investigation into the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi as he named a new ambassador to replace the envoy killed in the assault.
Obama met Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan during his first official visit to Washington and expressed support for the North African country's democratic transition after the 2011 ouster of Muammar Gaddafi in a revolt backed by a NATO bombing campaign, the White House said.
"The president reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that the perpetrators of the Sept. 11 attacks against the U.S. mission in Benghazi are brought to justice, and stressed the importance of Libya's cooperation with the ongoing investigation," said White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden.
The White House meeting coincided with the announcement of Obama's choice of Deborah Jones, a veteran Middle East diplomat, as ambassador to Libya.
She was nominated to fill the post, which has been vacant since Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the militant attack in Benghazi six months ago.
Jones, a career diplomat, is a former ambassador to Kuwait and has served at embassies and consulates in Syria, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia.
Political controversy has lingered in Washington over the initial U.S. response to the Benghazi assault, with Republicans accusing the Obama administration of withholding information and the White House defending its handling of the matter.

Results 1 to 12 of 88
If there was one player you could bring back from the past....
Who would it be? Obviously at their prime.
I was reading the online chat thing with Kevin Byrne yesturday on the Ravens website. And a fan asked a good question. "If there was one player in Ravens history you could being back to help this team, who would it be?"
Kevin Byrne said that he'd bring back C mac, because we are missing corners. I would say that he'd make a great impact. There are some other players I'd consider like...
Who else would have loved to see JO actually protecting a good QB in his prime? JO would have certainly been able to help us out. Oher has been good this year, but he's still better playing right tackle. You could have JO come in at LT, move KO inside, move Yanda to center, and Jah Reid can move to right guard, with Oher at right tackle of course. That's one bad ass offensive line.
Peter Boulware
Despite our recent improvement of the pass rush, we could still do with having one of our best pass rushers in franchise history back. Him and Suggs playing together, with Kruger coming in on 3rd downs, move Boulware to DT next to Ngata, and have a crazy 4 man rush similar to the NASCAR package.
Jamie Sharper
Put him next to Dannell Ellerbe, and the defense would automatically improve. This guy was like Jarrett Johnson, an underrated piece of our defense that helped us win the SB.
Jarrett Johnson
In his prime Johnson was one of the best edge setters in football, he would assume the old role he had here.
Jamal Lewis
Who else would have loved to see Jamal Lewis running over Casey Hampton on Sunday night on that 3rd and 2?
Todd Heap
Dennis Pitta is good, Ed Dickson.... not so much. Heap was always a hard player to say good bye to, he was such a vital part of this offense for a long time. He could split reps with Pitta, you'd have an automatic 3rd down conversation rate, especially with Boldin on the other side.
Shannon Sharpe
Another great tight end, who helped us win a SB. I wish we'd had seen Sharpe playing with a good QB like Flacco in Baltimore.
Sam Adams
This is perhaps the player I'd pick if it wasn't for the guy below. He would fit into a position of need straight away, nose tackle. He'd dominate the line of scrimmage, and would fix our run defense easily. Playing along side Suggs and Ngata would be great to see.
Ray Lewis
Yes, I know he's still playing for us, but I'm talking about a young Ray, the 2003 Ray Lewis. This would be my choice. He was literally everywhere on the field. Our defense would be impossible to run on.
So many other Raven legends that could help, who would you pick? D Mason, Goose, Michael McCrary??
Re: If there was one player you could bring back from the past....
Your pretty spot on with your list. I would add:
A. Thomas
Samari Rolle
And my favorite Raven of all time Rob Burnett!!!
Re: If there was one player you could bring back from the past....
Re: If there was one player you could bring back from the past....
Crazy as it may sound, since I can't go with a young Ed Reed and you already mentioned JO and both of the Lewis's, I'd go with Jeff Mitchell.
Because right now Center is where we are weakest and while JO would be an improvement, since Oher is having a fine season, it would only be a marginal improvement, especially since JO at LT means Oher back at RT and Osemele is either on the bench or at LG (which would then put Reid on the bench)
But a young Jeff Mitchell, or even Mike Flynn, would be a significant improvement over a fading Birk.
Re: If there was one player you could bring back from the past....
Like I said, you could move Yanda to center, and move Reid to right guard, with KO at LG. OR if you want to talk about centers, look no further than the 2008 Jason Brown, he was a power house, and even though he faded with the Rams, he was one of the best centers in the NFL with us.
Jeff Mitchell was one of our best underrated Olinemen in ravens history and helped us win the SB. But remember it's just one player you can choose, and a center isn't going to greatly help us. Birk hasn't been that bad.

Re: If there was one player you could bring back from the past....
Definitely would want a young Ray Lewis more than anyone else. He was everywhere on the field, and opposing teams called for plays to run AWAY from where Ray was lined up. On top of that, he made everyone around him better. He would make just average players look spectacular.
Second choice would be Mike McCrary. Can you imagine the combination of McCrary and Suggs getting after the QBs? It would be deadly, and be just as scary as Indy's Dwight Freeney/Robert Mathis combination.

Re: If there was one player you could bring back from the past....
I'd add 1996 Michael Jackson to this list as a potential. Dude had 76 grabs, 1200 yards and 14 TDs. Not to mention being 6-4 makes him a monster red zone target. We'd easily have the best receiving corps in the league at that point.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron

If it was just 1 guy it would be Peter Boulware. Boulware + Suggs = the most dominant pass rush in the NFL.Putting the Fanatic back in Fan

Re: If there was one player you could bring back from the past....
For me, with the team now as it is...Jonathan Ogden 10 times out of 10.
This defense isn't great, but teams have a hard time scoring on them in the red zone and they really don't give up too many big plays. However, this offensive line is really below average in run blocking and pass blocking.
If I couldn't have JO, I'd probably go for a 28 year old Ray Lewis.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: If there was one player you could bring back from the past....
Boulware. He instantly improves the pass rush. Second would be C Mac.

More than 60 online collections, featuring more than 60,000 items, have been produced and made available for public use. All items are freely accessible and searchable via the digital-collections website: http://www.sc.edu/library/digital/index.php
The Hollings Library provides greater space and resources for staff members to continue their work to make new collections accessible online every day. The new library provides more space for working and storage and more equipment for digitizing materials. A specially designed room was created to house a Zeutschel scanner, the only one of its kind in the United States. The overhead scanner, which is used for digitizing large format materials, will be used to digitize materials from array of collections, including the extensive William Gilmore Simms collection.
Digital-collections staff work with academic departments on the Columbia campus, including faculty in history, biology and anthropology, as well as libraries on USC's eight campuses, to digitize materials. Staff members also work with the South Carolina Digital Library to develop standards and help smaller institutions with the digitization process.

Lucelia Artist Award
2007—Jessica Stockholder
Jessica Stockholder is the seventh annual winner of the museum's Lucelia Artist Award.
Stockholder has created abstract and complex works that combine aspects of painting and sculpture since the 1980s. She assembles everyday objects—couch cushions, plastic container lids, shoe laces, construction materials, fake fur, lamps, electrical cord, plastic stacking crates, pillows, papier-mâché, balls—adding brightly colored areas of paint that blend with the vivid plastics used in many mass-produced consumer products. Stockholder maintains control of the formal elements of her work, which keeps the incredible variety of materials from overwhelming the viewer. Both Stockholder's studio works, which refer to her permanent free-standing sculptures, and her site-specific temporary installations engage with and transform the spaces they occupy.
Stockholder's sculptures and installations have been shown widely at museums and galleries in the United States and in Europe. Her work was included in the 1991 Whitney Biennial and in the 1997 Venice Biennale. In 2005, Terrie Sultan and Nancy Doll organized a traveling exhibition that surveyed Stockholder's career for the Blaffer Art Gallery at the University of Houston in Texas. In 2007, exhibitions of Stockholder's work were held at Galerie Thomas Schulte in Berlin, 1301PE in Los Angeles and Galerie nächst St. Stephan in Vienna, Austria. Mitchell-Innes & Nash in New York City represents Stockholder.
Stockholder was born in Seattle in 1959 and was raised in Vancouver, Canada; she holds dual Canadian and U.S. citizenship. She earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts in 1982 from the University of Victoria in British Columbia and a master's in fine arts from Yale University in 1985. Among her numerous grants and awards are the National Endowment for the Arts grant in sculpture she received in 1988 and a John Solomon Guggenheim Fellowship Award in visual art that she won in 1996. Since 1999, Stockholder has been the director of graduate studies in sculpture at Yale University.

Crew receive haul of Angels' prospects
For ace Greinke, Brewers get Segura, hurlers Hellweg, Pena
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | July 27, 2012 5:36 PM ET
The right deal arrived Friday evening, and it was heavy on prospects. In fact, the Brewers receive three from the Angels, and none of are throw-ins.
The club was certainly in search of high-ceiling 20-somethings: MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan reported that Milwaukee sought the Rangers' Mike Olt but was turned down.
Here is more information on the traded trio:
|Angels' rank
|Jean Segura
|Notes: The most likely of the three to be an impact player in the Majors, Segura signed with Los Angeles out of his native Dominican Republic in January 2007. Now 22, he has surpassed 100 games in a season just once (at Class A Cedar Rapids in 2010), but that hasn't tempered expectations. Ranked as MLB.com's No. 44 overall prospect, the switch-hitting middle infielder (his more natural spot might be second base) batted .294, reached base safely in 35 percent of his plate appearances and stole 33 bases at Arkansas. He was batting .368 over his final 10 games with the Texas League's Travelers when the Angels brought him up to the bigs; he struck out twice in his MLB debut on Tuesday. He was blocked by the Halos' current duo of Erick Aybar (shortstop) and Howie Kendrick (second base). The Brewers have Rickie Weeks at second and Scooter Gennett coming through the pipeline. Segura is slated to join Gennett at Double-A Huntsville. With more experience -- and health -- Segura could become a slick-fielding, base-stealing, .300-hitting All-Star -- and not before long.
|John Hellweg
|Notes: Hellweg, a 16th-round pick in the 2008 Draft, is a potential middle-of-the-rotation hurler. He made the transition from the bullpen while at Class A Advanced Inland Empire in 2011 and hasn't looked back. In this, his first full season as a starter, the 6-foot-9 right-hander went 5-10 with a 3.38 ERA and an 88-to-60 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 119 2/3 innings in 21 outings. He had recorded eight straight starts of six or more frames before being pulled early on Wednesday. If his changeup becomes at least average and his overall command improves, the 23-year-old Hellweg has enough -- with a mid-90 mph heater and solid secondary stuff -- to help out by next season at the earliest.
|Ariel Pena
|Notes: Like Hellweg, Pena is a 23-year-old right-hander who will go from from the Travs to the Stars. In 19 Texas League starts, he won six of a dozen decisions to go with a 2.99 ERA and 111 strikeouts against 42 walks. Last month, he showed his potential by striking out seven and allowing one over six scoreless innings. He works with a heater that peaks in the mid-90 range and a strikeout-caliber slider. Without a deeper repertoire -- and more command of it -- however, some scouts see Pena destined for the bullpen.

Throughout the sutras, the Buddha tells mortals they can achieve enlightenment by performing such meritorious works as building monasteries, casting statues, burning incense, scattering flowers, lighting eternal lamps, practicing all six periods of the day and night, walking around stupas, observing fasts and worshipping. But if beholding the mind includes all other practices, then such works as these would appear redundant.
The sutras of the Buddha contain countless metaphors. Because mortals have shallow minds and don't understand anything deep, the Buddha used the tangible to represent the sublime. People who seek blessings by concentrating on external works instead of internal cultivation are attempting the impossible.
What you call a monastery, we call a sangharama, a place of purity. But whoever denies entry to the three poisons and keeps the gates of his senses pure, his body and mind still, inside and outside clean, builds a monastery.
Casting statues refers to all practices cultivated by those who seek enlightenment. .
And burning incense doesn't mean ordinary material incense but the incense of the intangible dharma, which drives away filth, ignorance and evil deeds with its perfume. .
When the Buddha was in the world, he told his disciples to light such precious incense with the fire of awareness as an offering to the buddhas of the ten directions. But people today don't understand the Tathagata's real meaning. They use an ordinary flame to light material incense of sandalwood or frankincense hoping for some future blessing that never comes.
For scattering flowers the same holds true. This refers to speaking the dharma, or to scattering flowers of virtue, in order to benefit others and glorify the real self. . If you think the Tathagata meant for people to harm plants by cutting off their bloom, you're wrong. Those who observe the precepts don't injure any of the myriad life forms of heaven and earth. If you hurt something by mistake, you suffer for it. But those who intentionally break the precepts by injuring the living for the sake of future blessings suffer even more. How could they let would-be blessings turn into sorrows?
The eternal lamp represents perfect awareness. . Long ago, there was a buddha named Dipamkara, or lamplighter. This was the meaning of his name. . The light released by a buddha from one curl between his brows can illuminate countless worlds. An oil lamp is no help. .
Practicing all six periods of the day and night means among the six senses constantly cultivating enlightenment and persevering in every form of awareness. Never relaxing control over the six senses is what's meant by all six periods.
As for walking around stupas, the stupa is your body and mind. When your awareness circles your body and mind without stop, this is called walking around a stupa. .
The same holds true for observing a fast. . To fast means to regulate your body and mind so that they're not distracted or disturbed. .

Rich in vitamins A,D,E & F with nearly equal proportions of saturated, mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids, baobab seed oil moisturizes and rejuvenates the skin. Baobab (Adansonia digitata) The baobab tree is revered throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. In the Atacora region, it has enormous spiritual, cultural, nutritional, medicinal, environmental and utilitarian value. It is also extremely abundant in the region. It is the world's largest succulent plant, thus its porous wood is the only component that is not in the region, given the tree's abundance, and that the export market is just beginning to be tapped. Atacora Essential has access to an enormous resource, which could have great positive implications for the local economy. they harvest and purchase and use traditional methods to process whole fruit when possible, creating more employment for their Fair Trade cooperative. When they purchase locally processed baobab products, Fair Trade principles are strictly followed.

Recently a new botanical to the West seems to have found a reasonable solution to these problems with its use being imminent into the EU and the USA market place (Wilkinson 2006). The baobab tree, Adansonia digitata, is a member of the Bombacaceae family which consists of around 20 genera and around 180 species (Heywood, 1993). This deciduous tree was originally located in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe (Keith & Palgrave, 2000), but can be found in most countries within the African continent. Export by traders means the baobab tree is also common in America, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, China, Jamaica and Holland (Sidibe & Williams, 2002). The baobab tree has many names including the monkey bread tree, the cream of tartar tree, and the "upside down tree". This last reference is due to the striking silhouette that the baobab tree forms at sunset which gives the appearance of the tree being uprooted and stood on end. The heavy white flowers of the baobab tree are pollinated by fruit bats at night. The resulting large green or brownish fruits resemble gourd-like capsules that around 6-8 inches in length. These capsules contain a soft whitish fruit pulp that has the appearance of powdery bread and kidney shaped seeds. The baobab fruit is wild harvested by collecting from the trees or from the ground. The hard shells of the fruit are cracked open and the powdery fruit pulp is separated from the seeds and shell before use. The resulting free flowing creamy white powder, melts in the mouth when sampled and has a unique pleasant flavor with a mild slightly acidic after taste which can easily be masked with sweeteners or other flavorings for incorporation into drink products. Traditional medicine use of baobab fruit All parts of the baobab tree are reported to have medicinal properties according to traditional folklore (Watt and Breyer-Brandwijk 1962). Of particular interest is the use of baobab fruit and seeds to treat dysentery as reported by Watt/Breyer-Brandwijk (1962). Recently, Tal-Dia et al (1997) compared the efficacy of a local solution, "pain de singe", made from baobab fruit against the WHO standard solution for treatment of dehydration. The results showed that both solutions were equally effective.. Baobab fruit is reported to have febrifuge (antipyretic) properties in traditional medicine. Ramadan et al, (1994) showed that whilst baobab fruit pulp may lower elevated body temperature, normal body temperature is not affected. Who Is Atacora Essential? Atacora Essential is the realization of a dream and the culmination of 20 years of experience and learning. Colonialism, economic imperialism, trade policy, misguided development strategies, cultural and climatic factors have systemically brought about glaring poverty and gender inequality in West Africa. Food insecurity, disease, under education and environmental degradation abound. Under the current market and development paradigms, citizens have consistently lacked the voice and power to significantly abate these injustices. Atacora Essential has been conceived as a market based initiative geared to create conditions where African people can acquire the means and knowledge to own and determine their futures, with diminished dependence on external capital and the hegemony of Western ideas. Founder and President, David B. Goldman (B.A., M.A.) served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Republic of Benin from 1992-1994. He was posted in Boukombé in the mountainous and beautiful Atacora province in the country's northwest; named for the mountain range that is its most prominent feature. In 1995, he contracted to train incoming Environmental Action Volunteers and then served as an interim Associate Director. As a Volunteer, he worked collaboratively with villagers, youth and women's groups, other development organizations and Beninese government agencies to design and implement grassroots, participatory community projects, including agro-forestry, dry season gardening, Perm culture and appropriate technology. His acquisition of the local language, Ditammari, greatly facilitated his work and helped forge enduring friendships. He is a twice certified Perm culture Designer. His graduate studies focused on sustainable development and Africa, earning him an M.A. in Environment and Community from Antioch University Seattle in 2007. A subsequent visit to Benin, specifically to Boukombé, solidified his commitment and capacity to co-create with local participants a novel and community driven strategy for economic and social empowerment. This is Atacora Essential! The ten women and 2+ men of the Atacora Essential cooperative located 10k from Boukombé in the small rural village of Kouporgou are the backbone of the organization. The Fair Trade wages they earn from their efforts sustainably producing, collecting and processing unique indigenous products have already had a remarkable impact on their families' well being…and they are just getting started!

Shin Bet: Toulouse terrorist briefly visited Israel in 2010 (HA´ARETZ NEWS) By Amos Harel 03/27/12)
Source: http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/shin-bet-toulouse-terrorist-briefly-visited-israel-in-2010-1.420882
HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
A Shin Bet security service review has established that the French terrorist Mohamed Merah spent time in Israel and the territories about a year and a half ago. Merah entered Israel from Jordan, crossing the Allenby Bridge in September 2010. He was questioned by Shin Bet men at the bridge, but this check did not reveal any suspicious details and Merah was allowed to enter the country.
Merah stayed in Israel for three days. He is not known to have taken up any sort of terror activity while in Israel. The Shin Bet inquiry has not corroborated a claim made by Bernard Squarcini, head of the Direction Centrale du Renseignement internal intelligence agency, who suggested that Merah was detained in Israel while in possession of a knife.
Security sources told Haaretz that Merah visited Israel before stays in Afghanistan and Pakistan; there was thus no concrete information suggesting that he posed a security risk. Merah, a 23-year-old unemployed car mechanic, defined by the French intelligence chief as a "little failure from the suburbs," was responsible for the murder of seven people, including three children and an adult at the Jewish school in Toulouse, along with three soldiers a few days earlier. Merah died after falling off a balcony when trying to flee from French police special forces, who kept him pinned in his apartment for about a full day.
Squarcini stated that "two years ago Merah toured around the Middle East, in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and even Israel. Later he traveled to Afghanistan. He traveled on irregular routes and was not on our radar screens, though he was monitored by foreign intelligence services, either American services or local services. He reached Kabul on November 13, 2010, and he returned to France on December 5."
Squarcini was asked how French intelligence services related to Merah when he returned to France. "We checked information that had been collected about him, but it didn´t amount to much. There wasn´t indication of ideological activity. He didn´t go to mosques," he said.
Some French security officials have suspected that Merah and his brother, who is accused of aiding and abetting murders, acted as part of an international terror network. But French President Nicolas Sarkozy dispelled this theory on Monday, saying that "there was no terror network. To the best of our knowledge, there was no such network."
Sarkozy described the attack as an isolated incident perpetrated by a deranged individual.
Before he was killed, Merah told policemen that he had connections with Al-Qaida, and that he had visited Afghanistan and Pakistan, where he had weapons training.
On Monday, indictments were submitted against Merah´s brother, Abbad al-Kadr, on counts of involvement in murder, and he was kept behind bars. But no evidence has been uncovered implicating the brother in the Jewish school massacre. (© Copyright 2012 Ha´aretz 03/27/12)

©1990 Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett; (P)2009 HarperCollins Publishers
"Pratchett (of Discworld fame) and Gaiman (of Sandman fame) may seem an unlikely combination, but the topic (Armageddon) of this fast-paced novel is old hat to both. Pratchett's wackiness collaborates with Gaiman's morbid humor; the result is a humanist delight to be savored and reread again and again." (Amazon.com review)
"At long last!!"
I have had this book in print format since 1990 and have probably read it at least 15 times. It has always made me feel better when I was a little depressed and I have been waiting for it to come to Audible US even since I saw it on the British Audible website (www.audible.co.uk). It is a wonderfully funny book with much to say about what we call "the human condition" and I love it, but I feel I should warn potential readers that the humor is decidedly British. When my sister read this book her comment was that she thought it was trying to be funny, but she kept missing the point of the jokes. So while I strongly recommend this book, that recommendation is mostly aimed at those who understand and appreciate British humor.
I have only one complaint about the way this book was read. Martin Jarvis should have paid more attention to those places in the book where line spacing was used to separate different threads of the story. Normally readers, when coming across those kind of breaks, supply their own silence to let listeners know that a different story thread is picking up, but Mr. Jarvis often runs directly from one thread to another without supplying any audio indication that the story line was changing. This is a minor point, but I found it annoying at times.
With the above caveats I heartily recommend this book to any Neal Gaiman or Terry Pratchett readers!
"What a pair"
If you like Neil Gaiman, and if you like Terry Pratchett, you're going to adore this book. What a great pairing of authors and a wonderful narrator. There is enough snarky humor in this little story to go around to the Brits and the Americans. It's well written, made me laugh out loud and I couldn't wait to get to it each day. If you don't enjoy British humor, you may not enjoy this book or understand the subtleties. However, anyone who can make you laugh at the Apocalypse and has the Four Horsemen on motorcycles is awesome in my opinion. Well done!! Thank you Mr.s Gaiman and Pratchett! Do another one please?
"Great voice adds to already amazing story"
Of course, "Good Omens" is an easy choice for any shopper. If you haven't read it before or especially if you have, the audiobook is a pleasure to listen to!
Once I heard Martin Jarvis reading in the character's voices, I can no longer imagine their voices any other way. Jarvis hits the nail on the head with Aziraphale's mild personality and Crowley's "flash bastard" attitude.
My only problem is the lack of a distinct pause between scene changes. As the book does this often, I quickly got used to paying attention to the new scene. It would certainly not dissuade me from buying the audiobook.
I've read this book a few times,but as a trucker need something to help focus and stay awake on looong night time drives. This book fit the bill perfectly...well almost, Martin Jarvis does a wonderfull job giving the characters life but I didn't like Adams voice,he sounded kinda snooty,not how I heard it in my head at all. Otherwise this book is laugh out loud funny and a nice moral tale with an out of control tailspin.Loved it
History and Politics Professor at the American University of Iraq; lover of BBC Radio 4 comedies, Histories, and the occasional novel.
This has been one of my print favorites for a decade, and I don't know why it has taken so long to get to audio, but it's finally here! A great, hilarious, even thought provoking journey through the End Days. If you like Mssrs. Gaiman or Pratchett's other works, or Monty Python, Douglas Adams or British humor in general, pick it up! You won't be sorry.
"Beautifully done"
I read this book in print form as a major fan of Terry Pratchett, and frankly only managed to get through it by trying to pick out the parts that Terry Pratchett wrote.
Listening to this book, however, is a completely different experience. The narrator is fantastic, and the story just takes shape, gripping you with characters which just burst to life and set you laughing out loud, looking like a crazy person to everyone on the bus. This happens to me quite a lot, though, and if you can't take a joke by now, you're not worthy of this book.
I fear I will never be such a Neil Gaiman fan as I am a Terry Pratchett fan, but I can say that Gaiman's books translate into audio far better than Terry Prachett's, and I highly recommend them.
"As good as ever!"
Hilarious story, told beautifully. Each character is well-realized, and this was so much fun to listen to.
"Satisfyingly Hilarious"
The best of two worlds - Pratchett and Gaiman - combine smoothly to form a seamlessly great story. Very enjoyable, start to finish. You will laugh out loud so many times, it should be required reading/listening for sad people. And they aren't cheap laughs - the social commentary and observations on human nature leave you satisfied and shaking your head with their cleverness.
Actor/director/teacher. Split my time between Beijing and Seattle now. Listen to Audible on the subway and while driving or riding my bike.
"Not twice as good but not half bad"
A combination like Pratchett and Gaiman, both brilliant in their own right (write?), is an exciting prospect so I was really looking forward to listening to Good Omens. I chose to do it on a grueling drive from Louisville to Seattle so I could press on through it with few interruptions.
I have to admit that I was initially a bit disappointed. I found the first half of the book too "clever" by half and somewhat overwritten. Not surprising, perhaps, with two brilliant, creative minds pouring material into the same hopper. Given the doomsday theme and some stylistic parallels, it sometimes seemed that Douglas Adams might have come back to contribute as well.
Gradually the whole jumble began to take a more manageable form, however, and by the end I was delighting in the joyful momentum of the book and the coalescing wisdom which is typical of both authors when they work independently. I would not say reading their joint effort was twice as good, but it sure wasn't half bad.
And best of all was Martin Jarvis's inspired reading!
"Enjoyed very much"
I really enjoyed this book - I love the dry English humor and snickered a lot, especially at the first. The only caveat I would add to my review is that it seemed to bog down a little at the end.

Warford Named All-SEC Second Team by Associated Press
Dec. 3, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. – University of Kentucky football senior offensive lineman Larry Warford has been named an All-Southeastern Conference performer by The Associated Press, the wire service announced Monday.
Warford earned second-team All-SEC honors. Warford has now earned All-SEC honors for the last three years. He was named All-SEC second team by AP each of the last two seasons. In addition, he was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team by league coaches in 2009.
Kentucky has had at least one AP All-SEC second-team selection every year since 2002.
Warford received high praise throughout the season from the UK coaching staff for playing with amazing skill up front. He did not allow a quarterback sack all year, grading at 90.3 percent for the season and totaling 48 knockdown blocks.
Warford, who came to UK from Richmond, Ky., ended his UK career having played in 47 games with 37 consecutive starts. The senior was named SEC Co-Offensive Lineman of the Week after UK's win over Kent State, handling blocking responsibilities on KSU's star lineman Roosevelt Nix. In the game, Warford collected eight knockdown blocks and graded out at 91.7 percent.
Warford began the season on the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Trophy Watch Lists, while he was chosen as a first-team midseason All-SEC selection by Phil Steele's College Football. Warford led the UK offensive line being named game captain five times throughout the season. Warford helped UK tailbacks earn 4.9 yards per carry during the season, including rushing for 342 yards against Samford.

Does your air compressor fill up the tank and when it tries to restart, it stalls and then "kicks" the electrical breaker? Does your on/off pressure switch leak from the small unloader valve (on the side or bottom of the switch) after it cuts off, and then continues to cycle on/off? The check valve is one of the most common parts that fails on a compressor and replacing it should rectify these problems. It is a one-way valve that lets air in (but not out), of the tank. Usually there is a diaphragm or a ball and spring inside the valve, and it's easy for debris and rust to form build-up which will cause the valve to stick open. A new check valve can solve multiple problems at once.
