A card is selected, shuffled back into the deck and given to the spectator. A black balloon is introduced and a magical gesture is made from the deck to the balloon. The balloon is popped and the selected card is found inside! The performer then explains exactly how the effect was accomplished, showing how the selected card was actually held against the side of the balloon. Only this time he is using a clear balloon for easy illustration. Then all of a sudden you see the card VISUALLY penetrate the side of the balloon! Then the balloon hangs by one edge of the card. Then the card hangs by one corner and begins to spin inside the balloon. Finally the card drops all the way inside and can be handed out for examination. This is very visual and is perfect for TV.

Why Do These Chips Taste So Darn Good?
Ask and chef-a delicious meal starts with the best ingredients. At Guiltless Gourmet, we take gourmet seriously. We start with the finest Organic Corn. Traditional Stone Grinding retains the fresh corn flavor. Our oils are processed through "cold press extraction," which yields the best taste because they're not exposed to high heat or chemicals. Our flavors come from real food-peppers, beans, chilies, cheese and spices-just like you use at home.
So How Can These Chips Be Good For Me?
Guiltless Gourmet Tortilla Chips are baked, not fried. We add just enough oil to make then crisp and help the natural flavors stick. The result is a Crispier Crunch with only 3 grams of fat per serving. Stone Grinding uses the whole corn kernel, so each helping is packed with complex carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber. By the way, you get 18 big chips per serving, which is plenty to satisfy your crunchy craving with guiltless indulgence.
Better Tasting, Better For You-Could These Chips Get Any Better?
You bet. Organic farmers use crop rotation, natural fertilizers and mechanical cultivation to maintain soil productivity, supply nutrients and control weeds and insects. Renewable agriculture means clean soil and water are protected and improved to grow another crop next year and the year after that.
Enjoy Gourmet Without Guilt!

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants announced their 234th consecutive sellout Thursday night at AT&T Park, but it was clear throughout a 4-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks that several thousand buyers opted to stay home. Those who show up over the next few days won't be watching the team's biggest attraction.
X-rays on catcher Buster Posey's swollen right ring finger revealed a small fracture at the tip, one that will keep the reigning MVP out of the lineup for several days. Posey said he can continue playing as long as the discomfort is manageable.
"From what I'm hearing from the trainers and doctor, it's something that hopefully in a couple of days, once it calms down, I'll be able to play through it," Posey said. "I'm hopeful that it's manageable. I think it'll be all right."
Posey was hurt Tuesday night in San Diego when a Madison Bumgarner pitch deflected off the plate and hit his bare hand, ripping his fingernail. Posey was replaced during that game as his finger swelled up and hasn't swung a bat since.
He said he thought he would be able to throw without any problems and anticipated being fine at the plate once he returned to the field. The Giants dropped to 62-78 with the loss, and there's little reason for Posey to push himself, but he said doctors have told him that there's no risk in playing through the injury.
"It's not displaced or anything, so it'll just correct itself," he said.
Manager Bruce Bochy likely wishes he could say the same for the rest of a team that continues to play sloppy baseball. Ryan Vogelsong didn't make it out of the fifth inning Thursday night, and the Giants ran into several outs on the bases while dropping the opener of a seven-game homestand.
Vogelsong cruised into the fifth but gave up four runs on a string of five two-out hits and a walk.
"I made some bad decisions on pitches and on selection and on top of that I didn't execute the ones I picked," he said. "(Catcher Hector Sanchez) made some right calls, and I shook him off. I didn't execute very well, and those two are really not a good combination. It's disappointing.
"The wheels fell off, and I couldn't get it back together. That's all on me. This loss is all on me."
Well, not quite. Diamondbacks right fielder Gerardo Parra played a starring role, too.
Parra cut down Brandon Crawford at the plate in the third inning and appeared to throw out Pablo Sandoval at the plate in the fourth. Sandoval was incorrectly ruled safe, giving the Giants a 2-0 lead. As the Giants tried to rally later in the game, Brandon Belt was thrown out at second after Parra quickly scooped up a shot off the right field wall.
"There's not a better arm in baseball," Bochy said. "He's as accurate as any I've seen throw the ball. He's electric, and he showed it tonight."
Soon after Affeldt worked out, right-hander Chad Gaudin (carpal tunnel) threw a bullpen session. Bochy was confident that Gaudin would return later this month but was unsure if it would be in the rotation or out of the bullpen.
"If he's healthy, we'd love to put him out there," Bochy said. "I know he would like to get out there and finish the season strong."
"Barry has been so good and such a standup guy," Bochy said. "Here's a guy who had three rough starts, but he thanked me for putting him out there again. That's the type of person he is."
Zito's seven-year contract with the Giants expires at the end of the season, and there had been some thought that he would get one final home start down the stretch, but Bochy said that has not been discussed by the coaching staff.

4 very small individual ashtrays, just less than 2 inches across. The mark is the same that I see on my Czech birds, didn't know it would be found on glass, except oval instead of round. Anyone have any idea who made these? There may have been a green one too, possibly even a lavender for a set of 6?

This is a great product and the first review I've written on iHerb although I've been ordering for a long time. I have a lot of digestion problems and normally vitamins and minerals make me feel sick even when I take them with food. This product is easily digestible. Since I have a poor diet and am not able to eat a variety of foods, I knew I was lacking. Within a week, I felt a big difference. I highly recommend this product. One problem I had, and I read that another person did too, is that the cap cracked as I tried to open it. It was very brittle. I called iHerb and they replaced it immediately. I hope the manufacturer fixes this problem.
Absolutely Awesome

This is my favorite of all. Tastes delicious and fruity, and my hair became a beautiful piece of silk! Not kidding. Feels sooooo smooth and shiny.You won't go wrong with this one.
Would prefer a sugar free version
Posted by iHerb Customer on May 25, 2010 | Verified Purchase
I love the nutrients available in this formula, but don't like the added agave nectar, which is high in fructose. I would gladly sacrifice taste for the lack of sugar.
I love it!

First I thought, the price was kinda expensive but when I saw the high quality forms of vitamins it contained, then I thought it was actually a great buy. I actually feel better, my urine is not bright yellow like the pill form of vitamins usually give me. I actually have been feeling more energy, I have been sleeping better just wish the taste was a little bit more pleasant but still not that bad, my kids actually like the taste. I am very satisfied and will buy again, I really feel great with more energy!
Wow Talk about absorbtion and energy!

Great product and the results are almost immediate. walking uphills and 2 flights of steps without panting and breathing hard. Taste is alright, price is better than flushing pills down the toilet! Wonderful company to work with as they ship products fast!
best taste of them all
Posted by iHerb Customer on Sep 29, 2011 | Verified Purchase
I previously tried 3 or 4 of the top selling brands and found them all repulsive in taste; Liquid Health is by far the most palatable to me, not delicious, but not revolting, and I could stand to have it sitting on my tongue. As far as how good it is, I found myself looking forward to taking it, so if "listen to the body" is a valid measurement, my body wanted this product.
I love this Liquid Multi
Posted by iHerb Customer on Nov 10, 2010 | Verified Purchase
Most of the items listed on this bottle I used to take in pill form. By taking this in liquid form it is more easily assimilated by my body. It is so convenient, delicious, and complete! You couldn't ask for a better multi vitamin.
Great Product

A very complete supplement. Taste ok. Iherb.com is a wonderful company. Easy to contact, very helpful,lowest prices I could find, and fast delivery. Wouldnt order from anywhere else.

Obama's EPA to Farmers: No Ethanol Waiver, If You Go Out of Business, Tough

Big corporate corn farmers celebrate major win, share prices in corn corps. inch higher
Battered by a drought, and hit a second time by the U.S. government's artificial inflation of corn prices, many small livestock farmers were desperately hoping that the Obama administration's and its appointed leadership at the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) would
agree to a temporary waiver
on blending requirements of ethanol in vehicles.
I. Big Corn Gets a Helping Hand from the Obama Admin.
The EPA on Friday echoed the sentiments of big corn special interests saying it found no evidence that "significant harm" would be caused by not granting a waiver.
The decision came as somewhat of a surprise. Many sources had expected the Obama administration to
instead punt on the issue
; the decision to side with the well-heeled special interests to push a program that is unpopular and likely will now cost American jobs was unexpected.
The auto industry has also vigorously opposed the EPA's decision to
bump ethanol blending requirements to 15 percent
. They argue that the higher blend will
ruin the engines of older vehicles
, increasing emissions and forcing consumers to pay for expensive repairs or abandon their vehicles.
Obama and Bush both backed big corn special interests. [Image Source: Politically Incorrect]
The EPA has alleged that it knows the science behind fuel blending better than the engineers who make cars, essentially
calling the automakers liars
The decision will also impact consumers, as ethanol provides less gas mileage in traditional engines that gasoline. In other words, unless gas stations start charging less at the pump (which seems rather unlikely) consumers will be paying the same amount per gallon, for less equivalent fuel.
Even environmentalists are outraged at the Obama administration, given that ethanol has been shown to not only waste energy, but also increase carbon emissions.
, Michal Rosenoer, biofuels policy campaigner at Friends of the Earth, to
The Detroit News
If the worst U.S. drought in more than 50 years and skyrocketing food prices are not enough to make EPA act, it falls to Congress to provide relief from our senseless federal support for corn ethanol. The RFS is a broken policy — rather than giving us clean energy, it's incentivizing biofuels like corn ethanol that are exacerbating our economic and environmental problems.
Congress needs to cut corn ethanol from the RFS entirely to protect the economy and the environment from this destructive and dirty fuel.
But despite the united opposition, the Obama administration appears resolute in following its predecessor, the Republican Bush administration, in choosing to side with the big corn special interest groups.
II. EPA to Small Farmers: "Deal With It"
Gina McCarthy, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation fires back at the critics, commenting, "We recognize that this year's drought has created hardship in some sectors of the economy, particularly for livestock producers. But our extensive analysis makes clear that congressional requirements for a waiver have not been met and that waiving the RFS will have little, if any, impact."
In other words, the EPA admits it recognizes that farmers are struggling, resorting to desperate measures like feeding their livestock candy waste; but when it comes to bucking a key special interest's agenda the EPA's answer to farmers is basically "tough luck".
EPA claimed to be sympathetic to farmers, but refused to help them with a waiver.
[Image Source: US News]
Over 200 members of Congress, eight state governors, and numerous college professors sign a letter arguing that the blending targets would indeed have a dire impact on farmers.
So who wins? The biggest winners are the corn and ethanol industry, particularly the growers, who benefit the most from the artificial inflation of corn prices. Many of these growers are not even family owned, but rather are large corporate farms run by deep-pocketed entities like Archer Daniels Midland Comp. (
) and ConAgra Foods, Inc. (
). Indeed, both companies saw a rise in share prices following the EPA's decision.
Big corn donates deeply to federal politiicans, who in turn reward it with billions in subsidies.
[Image Source: Agriculture.com]
So the word is official -- the U.S. will continue to manipulate prices in the fuel department, despite the cost to consumers, the environment, automakers, livestock farmers, and U.S. jobs. That's bad news for most -- unless you happen to be an Archer Daniels Midland shareholder.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Three families stayed in a hotel Friday night after Thursday's EF-2 tornado that hit the Arlington and Ft. Caroline areas of Jacksonville.
"Red Cross has been great. They came out to assess damage and they have set us up in a hotel for the next couple days," said Meghann Van Hise.
Van Hise and her family cannot stay in their home that is too badly damaged from the tornado. She and her family, along with two others, are being put up at the Ramanda Hotel on Baymeadows Road until they can return home.
"I've lived in Florida all my life, never experienced this and didn't see it coming, but definitely surprised the Red Cross was out here so fast and appreciate it," said Van Hise. "It's pretty wild, everything happened so fast."
The Van Hise family told Channel 4 that the experience has been difficult, especially with a small child.
"With a toddler, it's no fun at all, it's quite an experience," said Van Hise. "You forget those luxuries of having the crib and separate space for them. Just being able to go to a refrigerator and those kind of things. Eating out, it's not as great as everyone says it is."
The Red Cross is also helping the Van Hise's neighbors, whose home is in worse shape. That home is condemned right now with roof damage and there's a notice on the front door to stay out of the home.
The Red Cross is putting the families up for four days to help them get through the weekend. After that, the families hope they will get to go home or they will have to find a new place to stay.
"We're hoping to be back in and set up. We've had great companies come in and help, so our hope is that we're back in," said Van Hise.

The lineup across a trio of stages at this year's N.C. Azalea Festival is sure to deliver that and much more.
A full schedule for the street fair is available at the end of this article.
If there's one thing you should be able to depend on at a street fair, it's a number of bands ready to perform a serviceable rendition of "Freebird" when the demands, sober or otherwise, are hurled onstage by the crowd.
The lineup across a trio of stages at this year's N.C. Azalea Festival is sure to deliver that and much more, with performers ranging from Christian country rockers to exotic dancers. Here are just three worth taking a look at.
1. The Skyriders! High Flying Trampoline Show
6 p.m. Saturday, Street Fair Caf� Stage, Riverfront Park
This band of impressive physical specimens takes to the air by way of industrial strength trampolines, soaring to dizzying heights while contorting through the skies with props like snowboards, hula-hoops and skis.
These performers aren't rookies, either. The Skyriders! have been doing their thing for nearly 20 years.
Reaching heights of up to 26 feet, many are familiar with the group's show as they've been featured halftime performers for every team in the NBA during their long careers.
2. Ryukyukoku Matsuri Daiko
3:15 p.m. Sunday, street fair Multicultural Stage, corner of Walnut and North Front streets
A mash-up of martial arts and intense percussion, these performers combine karate moves with music and dance. There are several Ryukyukoku Matsuri Daiko groups both in the country and abroad. North Carolina's has called Jacksonville home since 1994.
These groups all have a common root. The work "Ryukyu" refers to the kingdom of what's known today as Okinawa, Japan, from the 15th to 19th century. The first drum and dance group was formed there in 1982.
Look for high-kicking children and young adults ranging in age from 5 to 25 dressed in uniforms and playing several types of drums including the odaiko (large drum,) the shime-daiko (a flat, two-sided drum) and the paranku (a hand-held, one-sided drum.)
3. Cripple Creek Cloggers
5 p.m. Saturday, Street Fair Children's Area, Cotton Exchange parking lot
This competition clogging team has been entertaining area audiences for over 25 years, blossoming into a group of roughly 65 dancers, including children of the troupe's founding members. The team was founded in Burgaw by Nancy Aycock Rivenbark and her husband, the late Lewis "Buck" Aycock, at the Cripple Creek Corner Dance Studio in 1982. The team has earned national accolades over the years, five times claiming championships in the junior age division.
The team performs traditional, old style clogging as well as more contemporary precision dancing. Expect a mix during their show.

Lara Bingle given suspended jail sentence
Model Lara Bingle will spend time behind bars if she gets behind the wheel within the next two years.
The Sydney socialite was handed a six-month suspended jail sentence on Tuesday for twice driving without a licence.
She was fined $2000 and banned for driving for two years.
Bingle was flocked by fans, and happily posed for photographs as she made her way into Waverley Local Court, arriving in a black Audi.
The 27-year-old had pleaded guilty to the two driving charges and underwent a driving offenders' program.
Magistrate Claire Farnan spent five minutes berating Bingle about her past driving habits but also praised Bingle's community work.
"Your driving record is very poor," Ms Farnan said.
"These laws apply to everyone in the community in exactly the same way. They are not there to be annoying,"
In making her decision, she said she had considered that the model was a person who had "contributed to the community".
Despite being handed a suspended jail sentence, Bingle smiled and giggled as she walked out of court. Her lawyer Michael Ainsworth said Bingle wanted to lecture at the offenders' program and help discourage people from breaking the road rules.
He said Bingle's star status had left her unable to facilitate simple administritive duties because "she's always had people do it for her".
"My client is somewhat unworldly when it comes to administrative things because a lot of it has been done for her," Mr Ainsworth said.
Bingle was pulled over by police in October and November last year without a licence.
She walked out of court flanked by her lawyer and refused to comment as she pushed through a waiting media pack.
Mr Ainsworth barged through the media pack, elbowing a photographer as he tried to make his way through.
Bingle and her actor partner Sam Worthington, who starred in Avatar, were involved in a heated stoush with a New York photographer in February.
Worthington avoided jail after allegedly assaulting the photographer, claiming he was protecting his girlfriend.

I plan to extend my knowledge about the Reds and therefore I'm looking for some good & solid literature. If anyone can help me out with a recommendation, which book(s) might be worth buying and of which ones I should better keep my hands off, please let me know.
In case there is some special literature about the days of the Big Red Machine, this would be of great interest for me as well.
Hopefully some of you can help me out ... thanks in advance!

Well here you have a great example of how touch screens are going to transform musician's tools. Tapestri allows you to sample a sound and when you touch the waveform it plays it from the location you touched it.
"Tapestri version 1.0 is a sound sample-based synthesizer that uses the iPhone / iPod Touch touch screen interface to crisply control the playback of recorded sample material. With this innovative tool, recorded sounds can be quickly transformed into rap or electronic beats, synthy "clouds" of sound textures, or syncopated, improvised drum beats. Sounds are recorded by pushing the red record button to start and stop the recording process. When a sound is recorded, its waveform displays on the screen, and wherever you touch on the wave, the playback will rapidly jump to that location, allowing you to loop and cut up the sounds instantly!" – huffsound.com
I bought Tapestri and I think it will be a fun way to throw in some quick sounds into my own songs. I like the idea of a few minutes away from the mouse and screen creating a weird unexpected tidbit. Is this the new Casio SK-1?

Torii: Nats have 'something special' in Fister
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter has nothing but respect for Nationals right-hander Doug Fister. The two were teammates in Detroit last year and, according to Hunter, not only was Fister a workhorse on the mound, he was a great listener.
"I would give him the information as far as hitters, finances, family issues and everything like that," Hunter said. "We talked it up every day. He is such a great guy. He is unbelievable. He is one of the best personalities in the game."
Hunter was surprised when he heard that Fister is currently dealing with elbow inflammation, but he believes Fister will bounce back because of his work ethic. Hunter said Fister was a bulldog with the Tigers, with whom he won 14 games and pitched 208 2/3 innings last season.
"We are going to miss him," Hunter said. "He pitched well for us all year. He knows how to pitch. When this guy throws the ball, he throws the sinker, the cutter, he keeps you off balance. He creates a lot of ground balls. So we are going to miss him. It's as simple as that. The Nationals picked up something special. He wants the ball every inning, he wants the ball every fifth day. Trust me, it's going to be a lot of fun [watching him throw]."

Thousands rally for gun controlPosted: Updated:
More than 5,000 people attended a rally at the steps of the State Capitol for gun control where they demanded action from Connecticut lawmakers.
Members of March for Change told Eyewitness News held it on Thursday because it was a weekday so the legislators will be at the State Capitol in Hartford.
And because Tuesday marked the two-month anniversary of the Sandy Hook shootings.
"We are marching for our children, our children's children, and their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of their happiness," March for Change said in a statement Wednesday. "Every American, especially our young, should have the freedom to grow up in an America free from the fear of losing a loved one to a firearm."
March for Change is "a bi-partisan, action-driven grassroots effort" and was "started by two Fairfield County area moms."
"No American child should have to experience what the children of Newtown have experienced, and yet, in America today, mass shootings have become a common occurrence," March for Change in a statement.
Henrietta Beckman, whose son was murdered in 2002, spoke at the rally. She doesn't know what she'll say yet, but she does know what she wants.
"There's no reason that anybody in this country needs an assault weapon with that capacity, none whatsoever," Beckaman told Eyewitness News Wednesday night. "Speak up. It's not a silent majority. We've got to be loud."
Many of those in attendance were mothers, who said enough is enough, and wanted something done to stop the violence. Many chanted "the time is now" and asked political leaders to find ways to protect their children.
"We are the ones, we are waiting for," March for Change shouted Thursday morning.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy energized the crowd when he said we need a background check to get on a airplane and that no one should be able to buy a gun with a background check.
Collin Goddard, who barely survived the shooting at Virginia Tech, told the crowd his story.
"He proceeded to shoot and kill 32 of my fellow classmates and teachers," Goddard said. "He left me with four bullet wounds."
People told Eyewitness News that they respect second amendment rights, but that they do not see the need for assault weapons or large magazines.
Veronique Posner, whose 6-year-old son Noah was one of the 26 children and adults killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, said what happened was "unacceptable."
"Twenty-six people in the sanctity of a school were gunned and lost their lives," she said. "I don't see that falling by the wayside."
Jillian Soto told Eyewitness News that she isn't surprised her sister Vicki died protecting her students.
"She would be proud we are out there fighting for change and we are doing something about it and not sitting back like another story," she said.
Last month, gun rights activists also gathered on the Capitol steps. Hundreds were there for that rally, and state Sen. Beth Bye said the other side needs to show the same amount of organization.
Bye has been an outspoken supporter of gun control and was friends with Ana Marquez Greene's mother. The 6-year-old was one of 20 children who were killed inside Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14.
"She's an amazing person and her daughter was murdered. And we talked about the Newtown tragedy," Bye said. "I talk about the Newtown slaughter because that's what it was."
A community forum titled A Farewell to Arms was held in Hartford on Wednesday night where people talked about how gun control is a public health crisis.
"We talk about Newtown and how many died that day?" said Deborah Lewis, who is from the Connecticut chapter of the One Million Moms for Gun Control. "Did you know that there were 80 people who died that day and 80 other people who die of gun violence every other day of the week?"
One Million Moms for Gun Control said they have also sent Valentine's Day cards to all their senators and representatives in Washington, DC.

text: Kanawha County suggests last-minute recycling plan By Rusty Marks November 29, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Members of the Kanawha County Commission offered an 11th-hour solution Thursday to save the county's recycling program.Recycling in Kanawha County has been all but crippled since March, when the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority voted to shut down the Slack Street recycling center for health and safety reasons in the century-old building where materials were sorted. Although Slack Street later reopened as a drop-off only point, solid waste officials have been paying $20,000 a month to ship recyclables to Beckley.Members of the Solid Waste Authority have been trying to figure out ever since how to salvage the recycling program, but have been stymied by a lack of money to tear down or fix the old facility, build a new facility, or find an alternate location for a recycling center.County officials set up a special task force with members of the Charleston Area Alliance, recycling officials, local business interests and county representatives to study the problem and suggest solutions. The task force offered their answers at a regular meeting of the Kanawha County Commission on Thursday.The task force concluded that the best option to save the county recycling program might be a public-private partnership, where a private company comes in to sort and sell recyclables, but the Solid Waste Authority is responsible for marketing and public education.Members of the Solid Waste Authority came to the same conclusion, and have been negotiating with Columbus, Ohio-based businessman George Hunyadi to take over operations at Slack Street. Hunyadi proposes paying for renovations to the existing facility and collecting and selling recyclables. Solid waste officials believe the proposal is the best deal so far to save the recycling program.The catch is that Hunyadi will keep 85 percent of the money made from selling recyclable materials, and would be able to pull out if the deal proves to be unprofitable, leaving the Solid Waste Authority back where they started. The deal with Hunyadi could be up for a vote at a Solid Waste Authority meeting Tuesday. But at Thursday's County Commission meeting, Commission President Kent Carper said there might be an option left that would allow the Solid Waste Authority to keep control -- and the profits -- of the recycling program.Carper said the state Solid Waste Management Board offers low-interest loans, and might be able to provide funds for much of the cost of replacing the Slack Street facility. Carper said there was a "90 percent chance" that the state would provide a loan for the project.Kay Summers, chairwoman of the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority, said the authority has asked for loans before, to no avail. But Carper said he had talked with state Solid Waste Management Board Director Mark Holstine, and thinks this time might be different.Holstine was part of the recycling task force. While he said he couldn't speak for the state Solid Waste board, he said the board might be able to swing a $750,000 loan for Slack Street.Previous estimates at a new facility were more than $1 million, but Kanawha County Commissioner Dave Hardy said a functional recycling facility could probably be built for less. He said county officials would be willing to pitch in to help pay for what the loan doesn't.Summers said she would present the idea to the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority at their Tuesday meeting. Summers said she needs to make up her mind whether the authority can make recycling work with a state loan, or if Hunyadi remains the best option.But the Hunyadi deal might be in trouble. Recently, West Virginia Cashin Recylables filed a lawsuit against West Virginia Recycling Services -- the company name Hunyadi registered in West Virginia in anticipation of taking over Slack Street. West Virginia Cashin is arguing the company name sounds too much like theirs.Although Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority member Greg Sayre said the suit is only about Hunyadi's company name, others think West Virginia Cashin is trying to scare Hunyadi into abandoning plans to open a business in West Virginia. Sayre is also a lobbyist for recyclers and represents West Virginia Cashin.Reach Rusty Marks at email@example.com or 304-348-1215.

Gastic Bypass
I have had seizures all my life until 6 years ago when I had brain surgery and had scar tissue removed from my right temporall lobe. Now I have the opprotunity to have gastric bypass and I am scared that I might have seizures again from this surgery. I have read some horror stories about other epileptics that had this procedure done and then had seizures. What are my odds?
Gastric bypass should not have a negative effect on seizures. The only exception would be if there are problems with malabsorption of the seizure medications, that is the seizure medications may not be completely absorbed because the GI tract is not functioning normally after surgery. This can be checked by measuring the blood levels of the medications you?re taking. I suggest measuring the blood levels of the medications before surgery (maybe twice over a few weeks to get a good idea what the blood level range is), then get the levels measured every 1-2 weeks for a month or two after the surgery. If the levels are the same or similar, you shouldn't have to worry.

8 Arvin families remain displaced due to gas leak
ARVIN, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) It's been one week since eight homes on Nelson Court in Arvin were evacuated due to a broken pipeline carrying a petroleum product.
The county put canisters in each of the homes to gather air samples. Tests are underway to see if harmful gasses are still present.
Kern County Public Health Director Matt Constantine said the samples were being tested by a lab outside of Kern County.
He further said that air is only a part of concerns caused by the leak, noting that animals and soil could also be affected.

So I've had shoulder problems for about the last 5 years or so. I had a catch in my shoulder that made it impossible to throw a backhand for most of this time. I was pretty proficient with just my forehand and was sitting on about a little over 350' with a Starfire, sometimes a Wraith, and when I felt like bombing it a Destroyer.
Then I got in a car wreck. Dislocated my shoulder out of the back side, tore my rotator cuff, tore my labrum, broke some ribs, chipped a bone in my shoulder, and have a lot of brakeoplaxis pain. (I dont know how to spell half of what was wrong with me.) I had Surgery, repaired rotator cuff, fixed bone chip, and tightened everything down for my Labrum injury. This was last July. I was immobilized until January and have been really hitting PT and OT hard. I started throwing again for the first time this week.
The good news is there's no catch in my backhand anymore, but my Physical Therapist said not to try forehanding it anymore. My arm is also the weakest its ever been since I was a kid. I'm pretty much starting from scratch since I've completely forgotten how to throw a backhand. I dont have the power to throw anything in my bag right anymore. I've been O.K. with a Sidewinder the last couple times I've played but I cant even start to make a Starfire fly correctly anymore.
I guess my questions are has anyone here ever tried to come back from an injury like this? With my really low power and complete lack of form what drivers should I start with to give me a little distance, help my form to improve, but still give me room to fly farther as my strength improves? Its frustrating trying to play with my friends when they're a stroke ahead of me every hole. I'd like to stick with Innova because thats what I know best but I have no idea where to start with a reliable driver that doesnt need much power behind it to get some distance. I know my road is daunting but my goal is to be competitive recreationally by the end of summer and be able to be back to my game (or better now that I'm a backhand thrower again) by next Spring. Any advice or tips are appreciated.

Average American Consumes 34 Gigs Of Data Per Day; Good Thing ISPs Want To Limit You To 5 Gigs/Month
from the unworkable dept
And, indeed, this is part of what concerns me most about efforts to put in place broadband caps. As we consume more data and a growing amount of that data consumption moves to the internet, more and more people may find themselves butting up against those caps. Even though plenty of studies (and many comments from the technology -- not policy or marketing -- people at ISPs) show that ISPs can easily invest in infrastructure upgrades to keep pace with the traffic, the move to put in place broadband caps may create serious unintended consequences for broadband. They add a mental transaction cost to any kind of internet usage (you have to think if it's worth it) and limit the interest and/or ability to build newer, more powerful internet applications and services that can serve what we need.

Hey guys,
So this is going to be a feeling post. A really long one.
I get scared when I write feeling posts because when I just say or type what I am honestly feeling I tend to get a lot of mail saying how I should censor what I say. Or take a step back and ask myself if I problem. Or how I am being disrespectful to someone. Or someone's higher being. ("Don't say OMG!")
I'm not feeling so great right now. In fact, I am tearing up as I write this.
I don't mean to attack anyone in this post, ok? Just wanna say that off the bat. I love you all. But below are my thoughts on some recent "attacks" that made me really sad:
I've just had a lot on my mind lately, reading some comments (on here,facebook, youtube, twitter) and as hard as I try not to, I take them personally. Very personally. I care about what you guys think. You shape me to be a better blogger but sometimes it's hard for me to hear some things. Especially when it's a callout that doesn't align with my healthy living philosophy. The heathy philosophies that I work hard to cultivate daily and share with you all.
I feel like recently there's been a lot of ED talk going on. How my Inner Thigh Gap printable workout should have been named better. How it could have triggered someone. How checking progress in the mirror is ED'd. How my definition of healthy is really just being skinny as possible. How I am just obsessed with working out and that's all I do.
Then there's the food attacks. You shouldn't eat dairy. You shouldn't eat soy. What's wrong with meat? Why are you drinking so much water? Peanuts are really bad for you. Only ignorant people use Splenda. How dare you share this information with people.
Let's not forget that some people think I'm fat. Others yell that I want to tone up. My hairs too long. I should cut it. Why teach a butt workout when you don't have a butt. Is your arm broken? Your makeup is horrible.
The physical comments hurt, but not nearly to the degree that food attacks and ED-related stuff can sting.
On addressing the food comments: First of all, I am not a licensed nutritionist or registered dietician. I don't know everything. I read books. I read articles. I read blogs. I try my best to gather information as accurately as possible before I say something. I am learning new things every day.
For the record, I am NOT on some crazy low cal diet that is comprised of whey protein and miracle noodles only. And I do not advocate eating as little calories as possible! How much do I eat a day? Probably somewhere around1800 calories. That's probably a lot more than what a lot of you trying to lose weight are eating. It's a balance of fats, carbs, and proteins mostly from whole, natural, and unprocessed foods. I eat to workout hard to build muscle to burn fat.
On addressing the workout obsession comments: Second of all, working out is not the only thing I do. Yes and I love it and that's really all I talk about on here because it's a fitness blog. I think you all come here to maybe get a little motivation, find a new workout, and get tips on how to work towards your dream body? Right? I feel comfortable giving fitness tips because I am a fitness professional. I don't get attacks in this arena but I get irked when it comes off as me being obsessive.
I don't write about my designing, my friends, my love life, my affinity for dogs, dancing, and trivia nights because it's not what you come here for. Or do you?
I was really sad and upset when I read that someone felt that my thoughts were eating disordered and that my definition of healthy was being skinny. It was like a bullet to the heart. My blog is ABOUT healthy living. I try MY BEST to be a good healthy living blogger…and (sigh)…the message that I hope gets across is that being healthy means being strong and fit to do the things you love.
You know how sometimes you THINK something and you know it totally WRONG or POLITICALLY INCORRECT but you're totally aware of it? To me it's ok to have those thoughts once in a while. I mean who's mind is pristine all the time? Well the problems begin when you decide to share those thoughts. It's even worse when you share them publicly. I guess that was the problem with my mirror-checking habit from yesterday's post on motivation. I know it sounds crazy but I shared anyway because I thought it'd be relatable to other women.
On addressing my desire to tone up: I am aware of what I eat and how I workout because YES I AM trying to lose fat. And I'm serious about it. I've got to be if I want results. If I were at maintenance I wouldn't be so critical. But why Cassey are you trying to lose weight?
I said this before, but you new ones may not have read it. I've always been in control of my life. My grades. My passions. My entrepreneurial ventures. I've always been able to figure out the tricks and the formulas. But there's one thing that I couldn't really figure out how to get a hold of. And that's my body.I'm not saying I hate my body or that it's not good enough. I'm saying that I want to figure out the formula for me. The formula that will allow me to know what works for me and what doesn't. I'm still writing the equation.
I like challenges and I like achieving goals. I'm considered healthy and fit by most people that see me. So why not stop there? I must have a body image disorder. Why not just be happy with where I am now? I must have major psychological insecurities. I am a perfectionist and an over-achiever at heart. It's a bad thing sometimes. But it's helped me push harder and harder in life and do things I never thought I could do.
It's no different with my physical activity and my body. Maybe I want to compete in a fitness bikini competition one day. Not to win or anything. Just to do it. Much like how I ran my first half marathon to try something new, but not to get a medal. I wanna know how to get there. I just wanna do it. It's not a goal for a lot of people, but I've considered it. I admire the ladies who can lift super heavy and show up the men in the weight room. All I want is to be able to know how to get there. Then I can share with you guys what I learned.
Man, I don't even know what I just wrote. Just a lot of bla bla bla.
Bottom line – I hope that through watching my videos and doing my workouts, you get that I am about balanced health and fitness. If it doesn't come off as that, well wow, I must have an ED I didn't even know about.
Anyway, I genuinely wanna thank all of you who did write me, comment, and call out any of the above mentions. Even though it hurts to hear those things, you took your time to share with me your thoughts and I APPRECIATE THAT. It means you're paying attention where maybe I didn't. You make me more aware of my blogger responsibility.
This blog and community are one big conversation. Open forum. Always speak up. I love reading your comments. Even if it makes me cry.
Thanks and love you all. Going to bed now.
Thoughts for me?

With just over four months until NASA's next mission to Mars takes flight, the University of Colorado Boulder, which is leading the effort, continues to work with its partners to knock off critical science and engineering milestones leading up to launch.
The assembly and environmental testing of the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or MAVEN, spacecraft has now been completed at Lockheed Martin in Littleton, Colo., in preparation for shipping to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in early August. The mission will be the first devoted to understanding the Martian upper atmosphere, targeting the role that the loss of atmospheric gases to space played in changing the climate through time, said CU-Boulder Professor Bruce Jakosky, principal investigator for the project.
"We have a three-week launch window that starts on Nov. 18," said Jakosky of CU-Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. "If we miss that window we have to wait another 26 months, so you can imagine the team is working really hard to be ready. Hopefully we will launch during the first minute of the first day."
The mission has a decidedly Colorado bent: In addition to CU-Boulder providing science operations, science instruments and leading education and public outreach, Lockheed Martin built the spacecraft and is responsible for mission operations. United Launch Alliance, headquartered in Centennial, Colo., will provide the Atlas 5 launch vehicle.
"When I set out to plan MAVEN, I didn't intend it to be a primarily Colorado endeavor," said Jakosky. "I wanted to start with a clean sheet of paper and put together the best team that I could. It turns out that a lot of the real experience in the space program is right here in the state."
Jakosky said the original concept for MAVEN goes back nearly 10 years. LASP competed with 20 other proposals from institutions around the country for various types of Mars missions before being selected by NASA in 2008. The MAVEN science team includes three LASP scientists heading instrument teams -- Nick Schneider, Frank Eparvier and Robert Ergun -- as well as a supporting team of scientists, engineers, mission operations specialists and students.
The Martian surface, including features resembling dry lakes and riverbeds as well as minerals that form only in the presence of water, suggests Mars once had a much denser atmosphere that supported liquid water on the surface, said Jakosky. "We think that Mars was probably much more Earth-like roughly 4 billion years ago. "We want to know how the climate changed, where the water went and what happened to the atmosphere."
The top of the Martian atmosphere is the conduit through which all of the gases have to pass on their way to space, said Jakosky, also a professor in the geological sciences department. The MAVEN scientists will study the atmospheric loss process to space occurring today, then extrapolate to help determine how much of the atmosphere has been lost over the entire history of the planet.
Jakosky said the MAVEN science team wants to learn more about how Mars interacts with the solar wind, which can carry energetic particles -- primarily protons and electrons -- at speeds of more than 1 million miles per hour. "We want to know, for example, how the solar wind strips away gases from the upper atmosphere of Mars.
"We are not a life detection mission," Jakosky stressed. "But we are involved in understanding the environment of Mars and how it may have been able to support life. Some of the overriding questions about Mars are whether there was life there in the form of microbes, and if there still could be microbial life in the planet's subsurface."
In a broader sense, MAVEN should help scientists and citizens not only better understand Mars, but also the solar system and beyond. "What we are really trying to do is understand our relationship to the universe around us," said Jakosky. "That includes what it means to be alive and what it means to be a civilization. By exploring the universe, we are exploring the human condition."
One of the hallmarks of LASP is the involvement of students in every aspect of its space missions, including MAVEN, said Jakosky. "At LASP we have about 120 students working on different aspects of flight projects ranging from engineering and spacecraft operations to data management and science analysis," he said. "When these students graduate, they find themselves very much in demand around the country because they have tremendous experience."
CU faculty members involved in the MAVEN mission also take their experiences back to the classroom. "It's not just the excitement and new data," he said. "It's also the lessons learned in undertaking a huge project like this."
LASP has a long history of developing science instruments, running missions and even building small spacecraft. Created in 1948 -- a full decade before the establishment of NASA -- LASP is the only institute in the world to have built and launched instruments to every planet in the solar system, as well as the dwarf planet, Pluto.
According to the Colorado Space Coalition, Colorado has the nation's second largest aerospace economy, employing more than 160,000 people. Eight of the nation's top aerospace contractors have significant operations in Colorado and there are more than 400 space-related companies in the state. CU-Boulder ranks first in the nation in public university funding from NASA.
In addition to the Colorado contributions to the mission from CU-Boulder, Lockheed Martin and United Launch Alliance, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., is managing the project and provided two of the science instruments for the mission. The University of California, Berkeley, Space Sciences Laboratory provided a science instrument package for MAVEN and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., is providing navigation support, the Deep Space Network and the other relay hardware and operations.
The outreach and education effort for MAVEN that is being spearheaded by LASP should appeal to all ages, said Jakosky. As part of the "Going to Mars" campaign, a worldwide student art contest was recently completed, with all 377 entries -- including the first- and second-place winners -- to be included as digital files on a DVD that will ride on the MAVEN spacecraft.
The outreach and education effort also includes a public, three-line haiku poem contest. The winning entries will be chosen online by voters beginning July 15, with the top three being digitized for the MAVEN DVD. In addition, NASA is inviting members of the public to submit their names and personal messages for inclusion on the Mars-bound DVD, said CU-Boulder's Stephanie Renfrow of LASP, who is coordinating MAVEN's education and outreach program for NASA.
Members of the public who submit their names to the Going to Mars campaign will be able to print a certificate of appreciation to document their involvement with the MAVEN mission. "This new campaign is a great opportunity to reach the next generation of explorers and excite them about science, technology, engineering and math," said Jakosky.
"We are hoping that students, faculty and staff will join us at the launch in Florida this November. We also hope people will follow the mission on our Facebook and Twitter sites. But the ultimate goal is that people will be interested enough to follow the science when we began getting our data," he said.
"I'm delighted to be here at CU-Boulder, and I'm delighted that this mission we have put together has a major Colorado connection. We are going to Mars!"

Held every Sunday inside the Farmers Market Pavilion, the Railyard Artisan Market is the go-to place for cutesy aprons, rooster-emblazoned prayer flags and peacock feather "medicinal" fans.
As of recently, the market is also Santa Fe's premier clay genitalia garden décor destination.
"My inspiration is the feminine," Swami Anand Naren-Oma, who set up shop at the Market three weeks ago, says, his arms crossed over his chest in a self-embrace. He's standing in the middle of his one-man gallery, which he's dubbed "Sacred Garden."
Along with the racy shapes, several other red terracotta creations celebrate the female form, derived, he says, by his "grand inspiration," the curvy Venus of Willendorf.
"The goddess and the garden, for me, go together," Oma says, a palpable serenity emanating from his body. He's dressed in a long robe and wearing a purple beanie whose brightness contrasts his long, white beard.
Looking around his space, he pauses and shares the impetus behind his work. "She," he says, "meaning the [great divine] mother of us all—is basically my love, my mother."
Oma develops a grin and a certain flourish in his hands when asked about his creative process. "When I'm working on my clay," he says, "the clay is my hands and my hands speak. My hands sing; my hands dance; and my head is practically not there," he shares, with a hearty laugh.
The swami also gains inspiration from the changing of the seasons.
"I myself am in the late autumn/early winter of my life, and I've spent it caressing clay, and clay to me is the goddess," he says. "So I spend my days stroking the goddess—how lucky can a man get?"
Winter of his life or not, Oma says these are "absolutely" the best times for him, and that, with the years, he's come into his own. "That's the good thing about age, that you stop quibbling," the 70-something says.
The centerpiece of his pop-up "portable garden" is a smiling, winged nymph called "Steve's Angel," which Oma created to honor a friend who passed away from leukemia.
"I hope that she helped him just a small, little bit to get out of the body—to make that transition," he says, taking a serious tone.
Another standout is a statue named "Pomona." She's drenched in pearls and is meant to be an homage to the eponymous Italian deity of fruit trees and gardens.
"She has a certain pathos in her face," he says. "I like that word, 'pathos.'"
A self-described rebel who doesn't adhere to "shoulds and should nots," Oma, who hopes to start instructing dervish dance in the space, applies the same philosophy to his work.
Clear examples of this are his unique shrines.
"I wanted to honor the entrance that we all make onto this blessed planet," he says, pointing at his "Yoni Shrine," complete with an indented pearl in the vulvar area. Underneath it, a similar shrine displaying a winged phallus is hung.
It's nothing to be scandalized about, Oma says. Nothing new. "The Greeks and the Romans were doing this to put beside their doorway to scare away the evil spirits," he points out. "I suppose it attracts some and repels others."
Oma says he hasn't experienced any negative response on the pieces yet, as his approach is a spiritual, tantric one, and his philosophy is "to honor the sacred in everything."
He admits those are particularly "explicit" examples of his work, and like Charlie Sheen before him, he'd rather focus on his goddesses.
One new variation is in the form of mermaids, or "fish goddesses."
"She's a desert mermaid," he says, holding up a specimen. "She's got nice buns, as you can see…it must be all the swimming."
In the deities' evolution, he has noticed a predominance of wings, which his earlier work lacked.
"That can only mean I too shall soon develop wings and fly," he says.
Until then, the word "retirement" is not in his vocab.
"I've been an artist my whole entire life," he says. "Artists don't retire. Can you retire from colors and forms and working with your hands? Oh no."
