From downtown to Dublin and Grove City to Gahanna, local food pantries serve the needs of the less fortunate in our communities all year long. The Church of Christ Food Pantry in Croton, as part of the Food Pantry Network of Licking County, is no different. The holidays have passed, but the need is still great, every day of the year.
The Food Pantry Network of Licking County is a cooperative that was established in 1981 to coordinate the acquisition and distribution of emergency food supplies by working through its member food agencies. The Network receives assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Association, local CROP walks, and the Mid-Ohio Food Bank in Columbus. Financial support, however, also comes from the local communities in the form of cash contributions and food drives. The Croton community supported the pantry by raising $3,000 last March during their annual fund-raiser and food drive.
Looking for a way to help? A dollar goes a long way in providing food for the Croton Church of Christ Food Pantry. Did you know that the Food Pantry Network of Licking County can buy food for nine cents a pound? Or maybe you can provide a much needed food donation.
The Food Bank needs nutritious, non-perishable foods:
- Meals in a can (stew, chili, soup)
- Tuna and canned meat
- Peanut butter
- Canned foods with pop-top lids
- Low-sugar cereals
- 100% fruit juices in single serving boxes
- Canned fruit packed in juice
- Canned vegetables (low salt)
Heartland Bank is proud to have their roots in the Croton community and was pleased once again to support the food pantry. With a portion of the proceeds from this year's Holiday Party Silent Auction and the generosity of a few private donors, Heartland made a $785 donation to the Croton Church of Christ Food Pantry.
Whether you are able to help or are in need of help, Heartland is proud to be able to serve you and your family in the coming year. Stop by any of our 11 locations and experience "Where Banking Feels Good!"

Andrew Reitzer's Metcash has decided to take the early option and pony up what is likely to be more than $80 million to store owners in the Mitre 10 hardware group.
That cost is not though, Insider has been told, the reason for the Metcash share price nosedive yesterday; that 15 cent slide to $3.82 can be blamed on the very last paragraph of the Mitre 10 announcement where Reitzer sought to hose down overly optimistic analysts' expectations.
From early this month, Metcash shares ran up from just above $3.80 to $4.08 in anticipation of the company reaping the benefits of better performances, as well its April announcement of plans to quit underperforming operations.
In yesterday's statement, Reitzer issued probably the most-repeated phrase in Australian management this week, ''trading conditions continue to be challenging'', before cautioning that earnings per share growth this year would be broadly in line with last year's 6 per cent - rather than the 7 per cent growth consensus that had found its way into analysts' estimates.
Of course, you could argue that inflated forecasts mean that Reitzer and the crew are doing a great job in selling the company to buy-side analysts.
Metcash struck its original deal with the Mitre 10 owner's collective in 2010 when it bought 50.1 per cent by injecting $55 million of much-needed cash into the hardware chain's coffers. Buffeted by general retail and housing conditions, the market gorilla Bunnings and the advent of a new chimp in the industry, the Woolworths-Masters joint venture, Mitre 10 was in need of a helping hand.
Under the terms of that deal, store owners in the original Mitre 10 structure swapped their shares for 55 million redeemable convertible preference shares, and Metcash had two windows to buy them back.
It has chosen to fly in through the first window, and just needs a set of audited Mitre 10 accounts to calculate the cost under the buyout formula of 5.8 times earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation - less net debt of Mitre 10.
Last year, Mitre 10 made about $22 million of EBITDA, while net debt was $23 million. On that basis, the cost to Metcash would have been somewhere between $80 million and $90 million. Given the flat trading conditions generally, it is likely the cost will be in that region, but there is often many a slip between balance date and published accounts.
Assuming it is around that level, Metcash will be paying close to $1.60 for each convertible share. For the owner-directors of Mitre 10's holding company, Mittenmet, that will be a nice pay day. Phil Petrie, Gary Woodruff and Lance Collins are staring at a $13 million collect, if Insider's numbers are close to correct.
The storm-tossed PaperlinX is not only trying to work out if it can reach land, but there is now a serious question about whether one of its directors actually has his ''ticket''.
Michael McConnell, the US import from the Roy Disney family's investment company Golden Shamrock, did not buy the 1000 shares minimum in the company in time to meet the requirements of the group's constitution. Despite being appointed last August, he did not hit the market until March this year to spend the princely sum of $86 for the diminished shares.
Rogue shareholders, led by Andrew Price, have been waging a war of letters with PaperlinX trying to get an explanation for how he is still a director.
Apparently, the chairman, Harry Boon, and his team are arguing that they gave McConnell a dispensation because he was in possession of sensitive information for the entire time until March.
Insider would take a punt that this matter will go a higher arbitrator than Boon.
DuluxGroup has had its first acceptances for its $188 million takeover of the roll-up garage door maker Alesco Corp.
The paints and adhesives company, that is trying to expand sideways by absorbing Alesco, said it had acquired almost 1 million shares under its $2 a share offer.
The acceptances for the bid, which opened on May 25, lifted Dulux's holding by slightly more than 1 per cent to 20.98 per cent of its target.
As Insider pointed out earlier this week, Dulux is clearly not being overwhelmed by a rush of Alesco investors heading for the exits, as evidenced by the latest notice that shows it took from May 29 to June 19 to amass that first 1 per cent of Alesco.
Seasoned investors tend to wait until closer to the closing of a takeover bid, but particularly one with as many conditions on it as Dulux's, before accepting because once you sign the piece of paper you lose control of your stock unless and until the bid fails.
That means you lose flexibility to sell at a higher price on market, or to hang out for a higher alternative offer. Of course, if Dulux raises it offer, it does not matter when you accepted - you will receive the extra money.
The other let-out revolves around Dulux extending the closing date of its offers beyond one month. This week, it made its first extension, but that was for less than a month. If it extends again, however, Alesco shareholders who have accepted will have the right to ask for their stock back.

Re: Why can't you bookmark a place?Kip Kussman Mar 30, 2014 9:45 PM (in response to Jacob Haen)
Hi Jacob-
Great question. If you go to the places tab, you can set it to default to groups you are a member of. On the left side of the page it will say "following." "group member," etc. You'll see a little pin icon when you click on one of the options. If you click the pin, it will default to what you select. You could also set up a connection stream and put all fof the groups you are following or a member of in it. That way when you click on it, you will get all the groups at once. Let me know if you have more questions. I hope this helps.

The Devil's Blood plays to a bygone era, cracking open the echoing, psychedelia-drenched annals of the '60s and early '70s. With the earthy production and impassioned female vocals of Coven and the relaxed groove and organic atmosphere of Black Widow, these Dutch rockers exude authenticity. This comes at a cost, however, as their sound can seem downright anachronistic in a musical world more concerned with impressive riffs than emotional weight. But their entrancing mix of tones both ethereal and sinister smacks of a spiritual sincerity that can be almost shockingly powerful. It can be heard in the simple vibes of "Cruel Lover" and the subtly sinister squeals and synths that hide beneath them. It can be heard in the way the peaceful "Everlasting Saturnalia" quickly transitions into the menacing "Madness of Serpents." It can be heard in the echoes and cries that characterize every solo.
The Devil's Blood is a taste of a time when music focused more on feel and flow than technicality and hooks. And yet, it's more than mere tribute, leveraging modern production and heartfelt creativity to create something with one foot in the past and one in the present. Earnest in its execution and ambitious in its scope, The Thousandfold Epicentre is an otherworldly journey to spaces both familiar and alien.

Amway owner and President Doug DeVos
Amway Boycott Growing World Wide
BY Crystal Proxmire
Originally printed 1/10/2013 (Issue 2102 - Between The Lines News)
It isn't enough to spend one's life making millions off the backs of the gullible in a giant multi-level marketing business. One must also then use their wealth and influence to fight fervently against the rights of others, protecting one's righteous and superior way of life from those pesky LGBT people and victims of HIV and AIDS.
At least that seems to be the outlook of those in charge of the Amway fortunes. Rather than enjoying his success and wealth, Richard DeVos and his sons are using their downline-acquired gains to fund campaigns against gay marriage, as well as investing record amounts in conservative campaigns in Michigan and nationwide.
A boycott of Amway is growing as people recognize what their purchases are supporting.
Profits into Power
Amway was founded in Ada, Michigan in 1959 by Richard DeVos and Jay Van Andel. Van Andel died in 2004 of Parkinson's Disease, leaving behind a legacy of involvement with conservative causes, his name on many buildings in Grand Rapids, and a phenomenally profitable corporation for his business partner and high school friend DeVos, and his own children. Both families still share control of the multinational private corporation.
Here is a partial list of the campaigns and causes championed by the DeVos dynasty:
- In 2004 Betsy and Dick DeVos led the effort to put the anti-marriage amendment on the ballot and contributed over $200,000 to the campaign to enshine discrimination into the Michigan constitution.
- In 2005 and 2006, Richard DeVos's son Dick DeVos launched the most expensive campaign for Governor of Michigan, spending $41 million. Despite the funding, he lost to incumbent Jennifer Granholm.
- In 2008, Richard DeVos gave $100,000 to Florida4Marriage, which successfully campaigned to add a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.
- In 2009 Richard DeVos's other son, Doug DeVos, through the Douglas and Maria DeVos Foundation, donated $500,000 to the National Organization for Marriage to help in the fight against marriage equality for same-gender couples. NOM has funded and run anti-gay marriage campaigns throughout the country since California's Proposition 8 in 2008.
- In 2012, Dick DeVos contributed $2 million dollars to help push for the controversial Right to Work legislation that was passed during the lame duck session of the legislature, and signed by Gov. Rick Snyder. The legislation strikes a directly blow to unions' ability to fund their worker-representation functions by eliminating the requirement to join a union, yet still requiring unions to serve workers who declined to join.
In a 2009 interview with Chris Knape of the Grand Rapids Press, Richard DeVos addressed his issues with the gay community, ironically concluding with, "You live your life the way you want to live and I'll live mine and I won't stick my nose in yours, but don't keep trying to change things, that's all."
He explained that he had been "hung in effigy by the gay community for a long time, from when I was first on President Regan's first AIDS Commission...I listened to 300 witnesses tell us that it was everyone else's fault but their own. Nothing to do with their conduct. It was just the government 'fix this disease.' At the end of that I put into the document that, it's the conclusion document from that commission, that actions have consequences and you are responsible for yours."
He blamed gay animosity on the fact that he "wasn't sympathetic for their requests for special treatment," during the AIDS epidemic. When asked about his funding against gay marriage, DeVos said, "Don't ask for a concession to a marriage issue which is not vital to them in my opinion. They've made it a vital issue because they want to."
The Boycott is on
Because Amway's founding families have dedicated so much of their resources to fighting equality, a California-based nonprofit called Rights Equal Rights has begun a boycott of the corporation and other DeVos-owned businesses. Since August they've been spreading the word about DeVos's political involvement, encouraging people not to support Amway or any of the other DeVos-tied businesses.
Led by former Presidential candidate Fred Krager, who is a gay Republican, Rights Equal Rights has led four other boycotts. Bolthouse Farms was the first to settle, contributing $110,000 to LGBT organizations to offset its founder's $100,000 donation to Yes on Proposition 8 in California.
They've also posted the names of 800 donors on the "Dishonor Roll" of their website www.rightsequalrights.com. Actress Jane Lynch and Equality Pennsylvania have joined in the boycott against Amway and the other DeVos Companies.
Amway responded to the boycott in a statement to ABC News stating, "As private citizens, the DeVos family supports causes and organizations that advocate for policies aligned to their personal beliefs... one of the highest callings of any individual is to express their own personal beliefs as a participant in the democratic process."
The list of businesses owned by the DeVos family is extensive, but it includes Amway products like iCook, Nutrillite Health Products, and XS Energy Drinks, JW Marriott and Courtyard by Marriott in Grand Rapids, MVP Sports Clubs in Michigan and Florida, the Grand Rapids Griffins, the Orlando Magic, and Fox Automotive Group with dealerships in Grand Rapids, Cadillac, Traverse City, Negaunee, Marquette and Charlevoix.

Amway A Business of False Hope
Amway is one of the grandest multi-level marketing businesses in the world. Profits are not just made on the products directly sold (usually to friends and family of the independent business operator), but on recruiting other salespeople and getting a percentage of their sales. Other countries have banned this practice, which looks like a pyramid when diagramed out, with the people at the top making the most money.
The company touts wealth, independence and financial freedom, giving sample incomes of people at the very top of the "upline," while only putting the more realistic income potentials in fine print. Their 2012 brochure, for example, says that the average gross monthly income for active IBOs in the U.S. was $202. In even smaller print it further clarifies that only 46 percent of registered IBOs are considered to be "active," meaning that over half of the business operators aren't even included in that average.
To become an IBO, people invest in a welcome packet and are encouraged to purchase products themselves so they can know what they are selling. The "gross" income does not even take into consideration these expenses. Those who have made it to the "Q12 Platinum Level," where the average annual compensation is $51,437, make up just 0.25 percent of active IBOs in the U.S. In short, making a living off of Amway is statistically improbable, contrary to the images presented by the corporation's literature.

Recurrent prostate cancer is a return of cancer that was thought to
be cured or inactive (in remission). The prostate gland is a small
walnut-shaped organ that lies just below a man's bladder.
Prostate cancer may return in or around the prostate. Or it may return in another
part of the body, such as the bones.
If recurrent prostate cancer returns in or around the prostate, it
can be diagnosed through a series of tests. These tests include a digital rectal exam
(DRE), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, and transrectal ultrasound
(TRUS)-guided biopsy.
Recurrent prostate cancer may be treated with radiation therapy,
prostatectomy, or hormone therapy. Additional treatment will depend on previous
treatment, location of the cancer, and other health problems the man may have.
In some cases, taking part in a clinical trial of a new treatment may be an

Warning: the films below are not PG. Though there absolutely are more sexually explicit movies than these five sexiest films, these treat the more evocative scenes like an art. It is simply impossible to take your eyes off of any of these steamy movies.
Number Five: 9 1/2 Weeks. An erotic romance from ever-steamy director Adrian Lyne, 9 1/2 Weeks created a furor back in 1985. Watch a young Mickey Rourke seduce the curvaceous Kim Basinger in a way that's ever so insidious, so beautiful, and so cinematic. The scene where Rourke runs an ice cube all over Basinger's body became iconic, as it is simply impossible to look away from. This film is as explicit as it is beautiful.
Number Four: Dangerous Liaisons. The official tagline of Stephen Frears' film reads: "Lust, seduction, revenge. The Game as you've never seen it played before" – a highly accurate byline for such a film to hold. While the novel had come out in 1782, this 1988 film adaptation reminded contemporary viewers that in the 18th century there did exist a fiery passion for sex, particularly among society's elite. The story charts a peculiar game between the Viscount and the Marquise, where they do not hesitate to break people's lives, use others to avenge former lovers, and shamelessly seduce young girls. This is a brutal, sometimes very intense film with explicit scenes. By the way, it also features a 17-year-old Uma Thurman.
Number Three: Eyes Wide Shut. A film starring the picturesque perfect couple (Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise) already has its sex appeal in place. The film's story stems from a day when the wife shares her sexual fantasies, and the husband literally goes crazy. He goes in search of something and discovers mystery – and beautiful naked bodies. It's a film that asks the viewer to guess what all this could mean and interpret the madness of the main character. Several countries initially banned the original cut of the film and were forced to edit the explicit scenes through computer graphics.
Number Two: Y Tu Mamá También. Alfonso Cuarón's 2001 film was a frank and even frightening drama. It's about two young men who get acquainted with the beautiful and adult Luisa, and then they go on a highly erotic road trip. Explicit scenes abound, but the film's most memorable factor is that it has such a shocking and tragic conclusion.
Number One: The Dreamers. The Dreamers is a 2003 film by the acclaimed master of eroticism Bernardo Bertolucci. In the film, the action takes place in France during the demonstrations of 1986, but the characters in the film do not notice, as they're too busy with themselves. A complex psychological and sexual relationship begins between the heroine (Eva Green), a young man who is in love with her (Michael Pitt) and her brother (Louis Garrel). This film is a beautiful picture filled with endless tobacco smoke and naked bodies.

The Melee Turtle is a ComputerCraft Turtle which specializes in fighting. Its attack is the strongest of all Turtles at 10 hit points (5 hearts) of damage per attack. The Turtle will automatically collect its victim's drops upon killing them and will even cause mobs to drop their XP. Turtles on their own, however are incapable of collecting XP orbs. As the melee turtle will kill mobs, it will cause them to drop rare drops, including Wither Skeleton Skulls. When used in conjunction with the Brain in a Jar from Thaumcraft 3, players are able to create fully automated XP farms. This Turtle, like all Turtles, can be controlled wirelessly when upgraded to a Wireless Melee Turtle, and can use Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, or Green Sapphire tools, but Diamond tools are the most effective.
In order to make the Turtle attack, the command turtle.attack() should be used . This will attack the object in front of it. This is not a program. The player must insert this line of code into a program. One can make a program by typing edit ProgramName (placeholder for custom program name).
while true do turtle.attack() os.sleep(0.25) end
This program functions as a looping melee attack:
- "while true do" Loops the whole program indefinitely.
- "turtle.attack()" Make the turtle attack whatever is in front of it.
- "os.sleep(0.25)" Make the turtle pause for 0.25 seconds.
- "end" Marks the end of the loop.

Severe forest damages are quite rare in Finland. So far the health of Finnish forests is good, but climate change and immigrant species may increase the risks. Occasional local forest damage include storms, snow, moose and annosus root rot. Latest storms have occurred in July–August 2010, December 2011 and November-December 2013. The most severe storm "Asta" in 2010 fleed over 8 million m3 of wood. Forest fires have been successfully prevented through efficient fire control.
European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) has caused serious damage in Spruce forests in southern and south-eastern Finland during 2010-2013. Spruce bark beetle has benefitted from the dry, hot summers especially in 2010 and 2011.
Several measures against forest damages
Forest administration has prepared itself for extensive storms and other damages in forests by contingency plans.
The Forest Damages Prevention Act took effect on 1st January 2014. It aims to ensure that the health of forests is not weakened in the treatment of forests, wood harvesting and storage of wood. The Finnish Forest Centre controls the Act. Natural Resources Institute Finland monitors the health of forests and changes in this.

text: Results: Santhi, Rohan, and I met up at sudo room last night alongside the microcontroller hack night. I passed parts to Santhi and Rohan and after some preliminary looking over my device and noting how to replicate it and what the pitfalls are or might have been a year ago when I made it we moved on to basic testing of mine. Wasted several minutes being vexed by current flow notational conventions. We are planning to meet again at sudo room next Tuesday evening and maybe make this a regular or semi-regular thing. Testing: No scientific discipline whatsoever was involved and goal was to verify basic function when hooked to a body through wet sponges in a non-lethality sense more than anything else. Trial 1: Put an anodic wet sponge somewhere on my forehead and an alligator clip on my tongue. Turned the dial up from zero to blinking lights, then down a bit. Subjective effects clearly noticeable but simultaneously subtle and hard to describe. Aborted due to difficulty speaking with alligator clip on tongue and æsthetic concerns around saliva in alligator clip's rubber boot. Trial 2: Replaced alligator clip on tongue with alligator clip on wet sponge on left shoulder. Otherwise same. Total stimulation time 20 minutes. Subjective perception of time slightly sped up for first 3.5 minutes, slowed down for most of rest of stimulation. Slight dissociation and euphoria during stimulation. Less dissociation and somewhat more euphoria and feeling of clear perception afterwards for about 1.5 hours. Or maybe that was the sake, which was imbibed in small quantity a few minutes after end of stimulation, but does not usually affect me in any way at all like that. Trial 3: About 2 hours after start of trial 2. Same protocol. Measured current with ammeter in series and found 2.1mA regulated maximum through meter becomes about 3mA maximum with head and shoulder load also in circuit, which is quite counterintuitive. Settled on 2.5mA, 15 minutes of stimulation. Little subjective change during stimulation. Slight fatigue afterwards for about 20 minutes followed by about 1.5 hours of euphoria and feeling of clear perception. I slept well last night, which is usual, but fell asleep about an hour earlier than usual, and awoke about 45 minutes earlier than usual, feeling more alert than usual. Today, I feel not noticeably different from usual. Next time, will try not to drink as much sake and maybe do a cognitive function test, or something. Rohan also tried the thing, but I will leave his write up to him.

Oswego County Woman Killed In Rollover Crash
An Oswego County woman is dead in a rollover crash less than a mile from her home.
State police say Julianne Seaton of Boylston was driving on Route 17 toward her home when her minivan left the road as she rounded a curve. The vehicle hit a snowbank and overturned. Seaton was not wearing a seatbelt, and was partially ejected and pinned beneath the vehicle. A postal worker discovered the accident and notified police, who say Seaton was dead at the scene. They say there's no indication alcohol or speed was involved.

Implant Selection Process
In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics. Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.

Ultra High Profile Implants - For A Select Few
Ultra-High profile breast implants allow the most breast volume to be added to a women with a smaller frame. These implants have a good deal of projection. In my experience, overly projected implants on a petit patient do not age favorably. Since the weight of the implant is centered far forward of the ribcage, these implants will have the tendency to drop over time and stretch-out the breast skin. For a petite woman wanting a full bust, I would recommend a high profile implant which gives a good deal of projection and a more reasonable chance of maintaining an attractive breast shape over time.

Ultra high breast implants
Dear Sexy49,
well my other colleagues here have resumed it all: Bigger does not mean better, but more problems. I use that mantra daily with my patients in my practice.
it is difficult to evaluate your body without photos and measurements.
but going from an AA to a D on your 5'4 frame with such size ( 600 cc ) will most likely make you look " matronly ". you need to discuss with your plastic surgeon and try on sizers. take photos of yourself with them, or walk around for a week, so it will give you a good impression of your new profile.
in my own opinion, I would tell you these implants are way too big for your frame, and you may,most likely, experience problems in the future.
good luck,
Florence Mussat, MD
Ultra-high profile implants
I do not recommend ultra-high profile implants for augmentation. My advice for someone in your situation would be to use the largest high-profile implant that will fit your breast width and accept this as the fullest breasts that can be obtained. Good luck and be careful!
What size breast implants?
Dear Sexy49. Without photos or multiple chest measurements, it's hard to answer these questions. My overall impression is that 550 to 600cc would be VERY large on a 5'4" woman. Overly large implants also have increased risks associated with them such as stretch marks, sagging, back pain, synmastia, chronic pain, increased chance of rippling, increased chance of capsular contracture, increased chance of losing nipple sensation, etc. If you are going under the muscle, there is a high chance the implants will drift laterally because the pectoral muscles can't stretch that fast. You may want to reconsider something in the 300-400cc range.

AA to DD just might be more than you can handle
The ultra high profile implant might 'fit' your chest, thought the implant is very round and projecting, and just might not fit into the breast skin or envelope, especially with the skin tight over the breast bone. You trust the surgeon, yet you are choosing the implant, and you just might look 'amazing' but not in a good way. Kind of a red flag here, so be careful what you ask for.
Learn more: http://www.peterejohnsonmd.com
I like to utilize computer imaging to illustrate what a specific size will look like. It is difficult to comment without a photo.
Implant Sizing extremely important to avoiding unnecessary revisons for size
It is extremely important that you and your surgeon are comfortable and agree on the size you choose. The ultra high profile implant form Mentor can be helpful for a patient who is trying to go with larger implants but has a fairly narrow base width. Nevertheless, your increasing from a AA to a D and you mention a "tight breast bone" with a measurement of 12 (which I assume is base width). I would be worried that you may develop a symmastia with too large of an implant. Best discuss your concerns again with your surgeon prior to your final decision.
Best Breast Implants For Me?
Thank you for the question.
Given your concern, you will be much better off spending more time with your plastic surgeon discussing your goals and the best breast implants likely to achieve your goals. This time spent will be more valuable than any online consultants' advice, given the limited information available… In my practice, I prefer the use of goal pictures given that terms such as "Dolly", "cupcakes" or "D cup" can mean different things to different people.
Best wishes with your upcoming surgery.

Bryant helps Solar Sox stay unbeaten
Cubs prospect crushes second homer in three AFL games
By Josh Jackson / MiLB.com | October 11, 2013 9:51 PM ET
Sweet home Arizona? Don't tell Kris Bryant or any of his Mesa teammates that those aren't the lyrics to the blues standard.
The Cubs' No. 4 prospect singled in a run and homered for the second time in three games as Mesa beat Surprise, 7-3, on Friday to improve to 3-0 in Arizona Fall League play.
Bryant went 2-for-5 and is hitting .500 with seven RBIs. Wes Darvill also has a .500 average, while fellow Cubs farmhand Albert Almora -- who did not play Friday -- is batting .600 with six RBIs in two games.
"We're really comfortable with one another. I've been hanging out with Albert and Wes Darvill and Jorge [Soler], all joking around together and having fun," Bryant said. "We have really good chemistry and, hopefully, it carries up through the [Minor League] levels. The whole experience has been great. We're getting to know each other.
"It's definitely really exciting. The Cubs players are off to a good start in the Fall League. I think the future is really bright for us -- we're playing as hard as we can and if we keep doing what we're doing, the Cubs have a really bright future."
Bryant got the Solar Sox started with a two-out RBI single in the first inning. Saguaros starter Will Lamb (Rangers) threw him a first-pitch fastball on the outer part of the plate that the 21-year-old designated hitter lined into center field.
"In that situation, with runners in scoring position, I'm looking for a ball over the plate that I can put the barrel on," said Bryant, the second overall pick in this year's Draft. "He threw a first-pitch fastball over the white, and I'm supposed to do that. We're supposed to hit it up the middle in that situation, and that's what I did."
Bryant's roundtripper came off Indians prospect Shawn Armstrong in the seventh. On a 1-1 count, the University of San Diego product got the pitch he wanted.
"I put a really good swing on it, but the guy had a really good slider. He threw two in a row and I didn't know if he would come back with another one," Bryant said. "The [second] one was out of the zone. I knew I was going to see at least one fastball, and he threw it next and I did some damage on it."
Bryant has 14 total bases in as many AFL at-bats and said he's feeling somewhat locked in.
"I came in and made a little adjustment and I'm seeing the ball a lot better. I'm comfortable in the box," he added. "When you're feeling really comfortable up there, good things are going to come for you. It feels like I'm seeing the ball really well."
Nationals prospect Steven Souza Jr. also came up big for Mesa, going 2-for-3 with a pair of walks, a double, three RBIs, three stolen bases and two runs scored. Soler scored twice and Darvill reached base three times and knocked in a run.
"We've got some good guys on this team, not just from our organization," Bryant said. "Everybody is hitting the ball well and pitchers are throwing strikes. Even though we're all from different organizations, we all want the team to win and we're all learning together."
Brewers prospect Mitch Haniger went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored for Surprise, raising his AFL average to .563.

Clive Burr (8 March 1957 – 12 March 2013) was an English drummer, best known as a member of Iron Maiden from 1979 to 1982.[1][2][3]
Previously a member of Samson, Burr joined Iron Maiden in 1979 (coincidentally at about the same time Bruce Dickinson joined Samson). Auditioning and joining upon the recommendation of then-Iron Maiden guitarist Dennis Stratton, Burr played on their first three records: Iron Maiden, Killers and their breakthrough release The Number of the Beast, the last of which was the Maiden debut of Bruce Dickinson. Burr was fired from the band in 1982 during The Beast on the Road tour.[4] He was replaced by the band's current drummer, Nicko McBrain. Burr co-wrote one song on The Number of the Beast, "Gangland", and another song, "Total Eclipse", that was cut from the album and showed up as the B-side of the "Run to the Hills" single, and later on the Number of the Beast remastered CD re-release.
Burr also appeared on "The Number of the Beast" and "Run to the Hills" videos.
In an interview with Classic Rock in February 2011, Burr candidly discussed his split from Maiden. Describing much of what has been written about the split as "hogwash", Burr indicated that he was ousted from the band.[5] After "leaving" Iron Maiden, Burr briefly played in the French group Trust, thus (once again, coincidentally) switching places with McBrain, and briefly with the American band Alcatrazz. Burr was featured in the short-lived NWOBHM supergroup Gogmagog which also included ex-Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di'Anno and future Maiden guitarist Janick Gers and ex Def Leppard guitarist Pete Willis. He also had a band known as Clive Burr's Escape (later known as Stratus), featuring former Praying Mantis members, which disbanded after releasing one album. Burr then joined Dee Snider in his post-Twisted Sister outfit Desperado, which was never fully realized due to a falling out with the band's record company. Burr performed with British bands Elixir and Praying Mantis in the 1990s, but did not become a member of either.
Burr's signature white drum kit was donated to the Hard Rock Cafe in London in 2005.
Burr was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the treatment of which left him deeply in debt. Iron Maiden staged a series of charity concerts and were involved in the founding of the Clive Burr MS Trust Fund.[6] Burr used a wheelchair because of his condition.
He was also the patron of Clive Aid, a charity formed in 2004. Clive Aid has continued to raise awareness and funds for various cancer and multiple sclerosis programs around the world through the staging of rock events.[7] Burr attended many of these events. His partner Mimi was also diagnosed with MS.
Burr died in his sleep on 12 March 2013 in London, four days after his 56th birthday, due to complications related to MS.[1]
In a statement released on the band's website Iron Maiden bass player Steve Harris stated "This is terribly sad news. Clive was a very old friend of all of us. He was a wonderful person and an amazing drummer who made a valuable contribution to Maiden in the early days when we were starting out. This is a sad day for everyone in the band and those around him and our thoughts and condolences are with his partner Mimi and family at this time."[8]
Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson stated "Even during the darkest days of his M.S., Clive never lost his sense of humour or irreverence."[9]
A funeral service was held for Burr on 25 March 2013 in London.[9]
Burr's style was influential on many heavy metal drummers. Dave Lombardo, known for his work with bands such as Slayer, Grip Inc. and Fantômas, stated that "his style was inspiring and the albums he recorded with Iron Maiden are touchstones of my music education".[10] Charlie Benante of Anthrax said: "the drumming on 'Killers' inspired me to kick it up a notch and I did."[11] According to Dave McClain, drummer for Machine Head, who considers Burr a huge influence, he "brought punk rock drumming into heavy metal".[10]
Other drummers like Paul Bostaph (Slayer, Exodus, Testament),[12] Stefan Schwarzmann (Helloween, Krokus),[13] Chris Reifert (Death, Autopsy),[14] Steve Asheim (Deicide),[15] Jan Axel Blomberg (Mayhem),[16] Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall)[17] and Richard Christy (Iced Earth, Charred Walls of the Damned)[18] also cited Burr as an influence.
Jeff Waters, guitarist and leader of Annihilator, regards his drumming as an inspiration on the drum parts he writes for his band.[17]
Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson considered him to be "...the best drummer the band ever had. That's not taking anything away from [present drummer] Nicko. Technically, Nicko's probably a far more competent drummer than Clive. It's just that Clive had this incredible feel, and you can't learn that, and I regret that he wasn't given more time to try and sort himself out."[19] Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith also praised his drumming ability. "Clive was a great drummer, an Ian Paice-type drummer, steady and solid with a nice feel to everything."[20]

excellent product
this product allows you to start plants from seed. it is very simple to use. just add water and the pellet will expand. after it expands you place the plant seed in the middle. after the seed sprouts you can then transfer to a larger container. the covering around the pellet will decompose or you can remove it just before planting.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? color is accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. high quality

Where do they go to first, though?
Let's start with their high school 2013 class options.
The highest available player OU has a realistic chance of getting is four-star Maquedius Bain from University School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The 6-foot-4, 290-pounder recently took an OU visit for the Bedlam game and quickly after it listed the Sooners, plus LSU and Marshall as his top three, with Miami and USC also in the mix.
He'll be a tough get, but the fact that the Sooners are still on the list for him speaks volumes.
Perhaps much more of a stretch but a higher ranked player on the board OU will take a crack at is fellow South Florida four-star prospect Keith Bryant.
Bryant recently de-committed from Miami, and OU will take their shot at landing him.
Also amongst OU high school offered targets still up for grabs are recent Sooner offeree Donovan Monger and three-star prospect Deadrin Senat.
However, if looking for more immediate playing time options, the best chance is to secure a signature from four-star Hutchinson Community College defensive tackle Ben Bradley, teammate of another four-star Sooner target, Toby Johnson.
The issue with Johnson is he likely won't be able to supply an immediate need due to a torn ACL that could set him out for a season and force him to redshirt.
Still, he would be a solid addition to the class, nonetheless.
OU's final JUCO offer is out to a three-star interior defensive lineman Quincy Russell out of Trinity Valley.
With OU graduating three defensive tackles in Jamarkus McFarland, Stacy McGee and Casey Walker, it makes it all the more imperative that OU lock up at least a couple of these guys.
And that's where the concern comes in and is warranted in not getting what seemed like a virtual lock in Manning.
All this said, we'll see where defensive tackles coach Jackie Shipp and the Sooners go from here.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) issued a press release on the upcoming Symposia on ICTs and Climate Change that aim at reaching a better understanding of the relationship between information and communication technologies (ICTs) and climate change.
The International Symposia on ICTs and Climate Change, featuring high-level experts drawn from industry, government and academia as well as key writers on the topic, will seek to provide guidance to the global ICT sector on how to monitor, mitigate and adapt to climate change. The meetings will take place April 15−16 in Kyoto, Japan, co-organized and hosted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC); and 17−18 June 2008 in London, UK, supported and hosted by BT. These events will be available as a webinar so that remote participants can see and hear presentations from wherever they are in the world. Provision will also be made for remote participants to submit comments and questions.
It is estimated that ICTs contribute around 2-2.5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. These percentages are likely to grow as ICTs become more widely available. At the same time ICTs can be a major linchpin in the effort to combat climate change. ICTs have the potential to serve as a potent, cross-cutting tool to limit and ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions across economic and social sectors, in particular by the introduction and development of more energy efficient devices, applications and networks, as well as their environmentally sound disposal. ICT can therefore be a key enabler to a low carbon economy while also promoting growth.
In December 2007, ITU representatives made a statement at the UN Conference on Climate Change in Bali, Indonesia, illustrating how ICTs are both a cause and a potential cure for climate change. UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon previously underlined ITUs role in meeting one of the most important challenges facing mankind. "ITU is one of the very important stakeholders in the area of climate change," he said. Dr Hamadoun I. Touré, ITU Secretary-General, said, "Unequivocal and authoritative scientific evidence, recent climate events and an increased public awareness have elevated climate change to the highest rungs of the political agenda globally, regionally and at national levels. Climate change is a concern for all of humanity and requires efforts on the part of all sectors of society, including the ICT sector. ITU is committed to achieving climate neutrality and to working with our membership to promote the use of ICTs as an effective tool to combat climate change."

Strivectin is marketed as being better than botox. Is this true, that it can offer better help with wrinkling skin and face lines? If not, please explain whether it's almost as good as botox.
Is Strivectin Better Than Botox?
Doctor Answers 14
Only if the wrinkles and facial lines are related to dehydration
This is a great question. Let me start off by saying, creams can put some moisture into the skin. If skin is dehydrated then when you apply cream it can make the wrinkles and lines less noticable.
Some wrinkles and facial lines are related to muscle movement. We have all seen people the "11" between the brows. Or as my patienst sometimes call it "angry mommy lines". These lines actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. When powerful muscles between the brows contract, they draw the brow together, causing the skin to fold or furrow. As skin becomes less elastic with age, those folds or furrows result in stubborn lines. Because the lines between the brow are dynamic lines caused by overactive muscles, they can usually be treated with tiny injection of BOTOX cosmetic.
Static lines, on the other hand, are lines that are visible even when the muscles are at rest. These lines are usually treated with a filler.
Hope this helps. If you have any more questions, do not hesitate to ask. Knowledge is always your best tool in life.
A Resounding YES. Strivectin is FAR better than Botox
There is no question in my mind that Strivectin is a far more effective agent than Botox. If you place drops of Botox on the skin it does nothing in the way of moisturizing. Then try Strivectin. Strivectin is FAR better at moisturizing the skin than Botox.
Any claims that Strivectin approaches the efficacy of Botox as a wrinkle reducer though are totally bogus.
Actually, the main ingredient in Strivectin which might cause some wrinkle reduction is Matrixyl. This is a signal peptide that causes the body to think that the collagen is damaged and then elicits a reparative reaction. This is the same theory behind most of the non-ablative lasers. Once the collagen is damaged it signals the fibroblasts to lay down more collagen.
While Strivetin does lead to some wrinkle reduction it is far far less than can be seen with Botox.
Incidentally, Matrixyl can be found in other cheaper skin care products such as Oil of Olay's Regenerist.
If you notice, in Strivectin's ads there is now a question mark. Prior to Federal Trade Commission invervention, rightly instigated by Allergan, the maker of Botox, there was no such punctuation. This permits any sort of claim to be made, legally. For instance, I could advertsise myself, as " Oppenheim, better hitter than Pujols?" Well, the anaswer is of course not. Similarly, the Strivectin people can advertise, " Better Than Botox". The answer, like comparing Oppenheim to Pujols, is of course not, don't be ridiculous.
Great question.
Botox is Botox, Stivectin is NOT Botox
Shawna, Botox is currently the ONLY pharmaceutical that can paralyze muscles of facial expression and relieve fine lines and wrinkles. As already mentioned, Strivectin is a "glorified moisturizer," and I fully agree with that statement. The FDA is looking into 2 newer forms of Botox that might hit the market in the summer of 2009 so keep your eyes open for some new news down the road.

There is no question
Note that the Strivectin ads pose it as a question, "Is Strivectin better than Botox?" It is really comparing apples to oranges, since they do different things and treat different conditions. Botox treats wrinkles caused by hyperactive muscles of expression. It turns out that the question of which is better actually has an answer in a head-to-head study done a couple of years ago. As you would expect, there was absolutely no effect on the wrinkles that Botox is used for with Strivectin. Botox, on the other hand, has a clinical history of safety and effectiveness on millions of patients over many years.
There is nothing better than Botox!
There is nothing better than Botox when it comes to reducing wrinkles with a non-surgical treatment. Strivectin is a topical cream, not a medication. There are many topical treatments that just cause mild tissue swelling which does reduce wrinkles very temporarily. Botox cases a paralysis of the underlying muscles which very effectively reduces the dynamic wrinkles in the overlying skin.
I hope this is helpful.

Strivectin is not even close!
Botox is a pharmaceutical agent that is controlled by the FDA. It paralyzes muscle and reduces the wrinkles associated with the repetitive motion. Strivectin is a cosmeceutical that is not controlled by the FDA. It is a glorified moisturizer. The FTC allows you to say that your product can eliminate fine lines and wrinkles if you are a moisturizer. Nothing more!
RR Retinoid Repair Cream for wrinkles
Botox is an excellent treatment for dynamic wrinkles. Our office combines the injections with RR Retinoid Repair Cream.

Strivectin VS Botox
Strivectin is NEITHER
- better than
- as good as
- Almost as good as Botox.
The FACT IT Strivectin is NOTHING like Botox and although marketing has suggest all of the following, it is nonsensically untrue.
If you want to smooth active wrinkles and lift sagging corners of the mouth or droopy brows - use Botox. If you want to moisturize your skin with an EXPENSIVE lotion - use Strivectin.
Dr. P. Aldea
Botox vs Strivectin
The reason that Strivectin is not comparable to Botox is that t does not have the ability to relax facial muscles. Upper face wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyes and at the outer eye are caused by muscle contraction. Botox is able to relax the muscles and thereby reduce or completely eliminate the visibility of these wrinkles.
Strivectin does not have this same neurological ability. If it did, it would be the most popular cosmetic procedure in the US, rather than Botox.
Strivectin and Botox work differently
With that being said, I rarely recommend Strivectin. It simply hydrates the skin like hundreds of other products out there, but at a much higher price.

text: There have been suggestions at various times that people who really don't want to be interrupted might put up a little "Working, please don't interrupt me" sign. Maybe a good opportunity for use of the laser cutter and some plywood! When I don't mind being interrupted, I sit near the entry hall, make eye contact with people, and greet them. Often it is really fun. Overhearing things happening and other people's conversations is also a good way towards serendipitously finding out cool stuff and getting involved in other projects. It can be awkward to try to negotiate with people to be quieter but I've also seen that done successfully. It works best not to act entitled to that quietness, since everyone is there to use the space for different reasons and may do so in different styles. It can work to ask nicely if people might move to the other end of the space to be loud in, or, explain non-acrimoniously that you are looking for a quiet spot, and move yourself, so they understand. - lizzard On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 6:17 PM, Gopiballava Flaherty <gopiballava at gmail.com>wrote: > When I lived in Germany, I went to a meeting of the local branch of the > Chaos Computer Club.

Eurocopter has sold 2 EC155 long-range medium-lift helicopters to the Dalian Municipal Public Security Bureau (DMPSB) in northern China. The first has already been delivered—it was used for security patrols during last month's "Summer Davos" meeting of the World Economic Forum in Dalian. The second is scheduled for delivery at the end of 2012. A spokesman for DMPSB noted its suitability for "discrete surveillance work." There are 15 EC155s in China, 11 of them used by CITIC Offshore Helicopter for oil and gas operations.
Eurocopter's plan to open a centralized service center in Ireland has hit a snag. CFDT, the union representing most of the company's workers in France, has complained to the French government that the change move cost jobs at Eurocopter facilities in La Courneuve, near Paris, and Marignane, near Marseille. Complicating the picture, the union points out that the company has received a French research tax credit for its development of the X4 Dauphin replacement. French employment laws are heavily stacked in the union's favor, so it could take Eurocopter some time to negotiate a solution to this conflict.
In the UK, Stobart Group has taken delivery of an AgustaWestland GrandNew for use as an executive transport. It replaces an A109E Power and will be based at CAX (Carlisle, England), one of 2 airports owned by the company. Stobart Group is a major transportation and warehousing firm.
Sikorsky has received an $800,000 grant from the Chemung County (NY) Industrial Development Authority to expand its existing 120,000 sq ft facility at ELM (Elmira NY). The company will locate its new operations in the building that formerly housed the Wings of Angels Aircraft Museum. The new space will house a customer delivery center, administrative and engineering offices, and manufacturing to support UH60 Black Hawk, Northrop Grumman MQ8 Fire Scout and reconnaissance aircraft production. The project retains 591 existing jobs and has already created 196 new ones, with more expected to come. Total cost of the project is $12.7 million.
Vinacopter, believed to be the first private helicopter service in Vietnam, was due to begin operations by the beginning of November. Its first aircraft is a Eurocopter AS350 leased from Azur Hélicoptère in France. Vinacopter is based at SGN (Intl, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam).
Zuhai Helicopter Branch has ordered 2 Sikorsky S92s and an S76 to support its customers' offshore oil operations in the South China Sea. Zuhai, a subsidiary of China Southern Airlines, has used Sikorsky helicopters since 1984 and has the largest S76 fleet in Asia. When the new aircraft are delivered, Zuhai will have 13 S76s and 3 S92s.
AgustaWestland has had a busy month. The Japan National Police Agency ordered 3 AW139 medium twin helicopters for use by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, the Nagaono Prefectural Police and the Hokkaido Prefectural Police. All 3 are equipped with TCAS, EGPWS, satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS)-capable GPS, and various mission-specific accessories. More than 30 AW139s are in service in Japan, many of them in public safety departments.
Russian Helicopters has signed an MOU for a planned order of 20 AW139s. The aircraft will be assembled in Russia by HeliVert—a joint venture of AgustaWestland and Russian Helicopters—for delivery to UTair Aviation JSC. UTair is the world's largest operator of helicopters, and the largest helicopter service provider to the United Nations Organization, with more than 330 aircraft.
The police in China's Guangxi province have taken delivery of an AW139. It will be used for civil protection and disaster relief as well as police roles. It joins an AW109 Power light twin already in use at the Nanning Public Security Bureau. In addition, Qinghai Zhingao Natural Gas and Chemical has ordered 2 AW139s. One aircraft, configured for mixed VIP and utility missions, will operate from Gulmuc, Qinghai Province, in western China, at ground elevations of 9200 ft. The other will function as a VIP transport in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in southwest China. More than 560 AW139s are in service around the world.
American Eurocopter has received a $9.5-million order for 4 EC120s and a support package from the Baltimore (City) Police Dept. The department already operates 4 EC120s, which will be out of service for their 12-year overhauls during 2012.

I feel jittery. Insecure. Discombobulated. My natural serenity – which, although it can customarily be more accurately compared with the muddy waters of a roadside puddle than the smooth spread of water in a dappled woodland pool, is still a valuable asset – has been disturbed.
As I type this, you see, we are entering the second week of national strikes by the Royal Mail, after months of regional disruption. The weekly stipend I send my sister in Bristol because she's bigger than me has been going astray. Ditto the food parcels my great-auntie sends me from Macclesfield so that I don't have to eat any of "that foreign muck" as she calls anything produced farther south than the town hall. Ditto the weekly messages of support and encouragement I have sent my father ever since my sister and I left home.
Adam Crozier, chief executive of the Royal Mail, and Billy Hayes, leader of the Communication Workers Union, are arguing about the nitty-gritty of precisely where one man's "modernisation" stops and another man's "unfair working practices" begin and Peter Mandelson is slithering through its corridors like an evil serpent, looking for vulnerable heels to spike with his privatisation poison as if the Royal Mail were just another business. But it's not, it's not.
Personally I envisage the Royal Mail as a glowing red web stretching across the land (it is always night time in my Royal Mail imaginings. I do not know why), like a giant safety net that would, if the country were suddenly turned upside down, catch everything of importance before it fell and smashed to bits on the backs of the turtles we all balance on.
It's either that or a pet. Yes, that's it – the Royal Mail sits somewhere between a loving, faithful pet, asking infinitely less of us than we ask of it (and can it really be coincidence that a can of cat food is roughly the price of a couple of stamps? I think not!) and a safety net in my, and the national, psyche. It is also part grandmother-in-a-tartan-shawl-sitting-at-the-seaside, an island-wide smell of fresh-baked bread, an invisible hand at the small of our collective back gently helping us up and over the otherwise tiring foothills of life, Anglicanism with red rubber bands. It is a cultural grace note.
Without it, life becomes not just that bit crappier on a practical level (I will for ever mourn the passing of the six secondhand volumes I had just bought via Amazon, eBay and Abebooks before this whole thing kicked off and which I must now accept have gone to the great non-sorting office in the sky or, even less accessibly, Dartford) but on a deeper level, too.
It still binds us together. It is the only national institution we can still depend on. The police are rubbish. The NHS has been stolen from us, stripped and sold for parts. Terry Wogan's retiring. Everything's buggered. It is literally the only way you can take part in national life for a price that is still measured entirely in pence. Sometimes, when no one's looking, I hug my stamps.
It is the only remaining spur to the childish imagination. I was born too late for anything interesting – apothecaries, chandlers, flintknapping, dying in a workhouse. The only thread of continuity I could spy, connecting me to my parents, my grandparents and books that told of times even earlier than the latter could recall, the only institution that still had some vibrancy and texture to it, that was still redolent of grandeur, tradition, efficiency and confidence was the post office. It must not die. We may not consciously recognise the fact, but it is our last communal pleasure. Without it, the country will be turned upside down and all you will hear is the sound of ancient treasures being smashed to smithereens, while the turtles turn black, unblinking eyes up at us and shake their ancient heads from side to sorrowful side.
