"Okay then," Fred said and proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing the tiniest man thingy the nurse had ever seen.. Length and width, it couldn't have been bigger than a AAA battery. Unable to control herself, the nurse started giggling then fell laughing to the floor. Ten minutes later she would be able to struggle to her feet and regain her composure. "I'm so sorry," said the nurse. "I don't know what came over me. On my honor as a nurse and a lady, I promise it won't happen again. Now, tell me, what seems to be the problem ? " "It's swollen," Fred replied.

BOGART - After his 21-degree hybrid chip trickled toward the hole from the back edge of the 18th green Sunday, Jeremy Anderson knew the ball was going in. He also expected the same fortune for champion Martin Laird's 7-footer to win the second Athens Regional Foundation Classic at Jennings Mill County Club.
As he and Justin Bolli waited on the range for wire-to-wire winner Laird to finish out, Anderson had a prediction.
"I was the negative guy and was like, 'He's going to make it,' " Anderson said. "Justin was like, 'I don't know,' and five seconds later, he made it."
Anderson's ball hopped out of a tight lie a few paces off the back of the green after his third shot took a hard bounce off the crusted ridge in front of the back-left pin location on No.18. The birdie put him in a momentary tie for the lead before Laird's tournament-clinching putt 15 minutes later.
Second place is never a comforting statistic, but Anderson can take solace in a back nine 6-under 30, which included a stretch of four birdies during his final five holes.
Getting into this week's tournament wasn't a shoe-in for Anderson. He had to wait until Monday to find out he was in the tournament as an alternate. A pair of 6-under 66s on the weekend and a $44,000 paycheck will go a long way for a player who, until this week, was unsure of his status on a week-to-week basis.
"I was glad to play well because I just paid taxes about a week ago and I'm poor," Anderson joked.
Champions caddie secures first win
PGA Tour player Blaine McCallister was playing in the Zurich Classic in New Orleans this week and wanted veteran caddie Butch Vail on his bag. But because Vail was in Athens, and his usual player, Aaron Watkins, was already set with a caddie, he was referred to a little-known Scotsman named Martin Laird on Monday afternoon.
His decision to stay in Athens paid significant dividends.
"He is unreal," Vail said of Laird. "He is a 24-year old kid, and nothing shook him. He held it together like a veteran."
By comparison, Vail, who had never been with a player to win a professional tournament in 20 years, took home more than $9,000 because of Laird's victory. McCallister missed the cut in New Orleans, as did Watkins at the ARFC.
Riegger roars during final round
With the exception of a bogey on No.16, John Riegger played flawlessly during the final day.
Riegger battled fatigue and came out blazing on the front nine, recording seven birdies on his first 14 holes, en route to a 6-under 66.
"I've been worn out. I played in the pro-am late these last two weeks and had to come out early on Thursday," said Riegger, who finished in ninth place at 11 under. "(Saturday), I was worn out and (Sunday) I just sucked it up and played the way I was capable of playing, even though I didn't feel good."
Wednesday's pro-am was the first time Riegger had played Jennings Mill, but it didn't seem to affect his scores.
"There's a couple of goofy holes out there where you really need to know where to go, but the golf course is pretty straight forward," said Riegger, who recorded the sixth most birdies for the week (20).
Despite his various ailments, the 22-year professional veteran will play the next two weeks on the Nationwide Tour in hopes of moving up the money list as the tour moves to Richmond, Va., next week for the Henrico County Open.
"I'm playing good, I'm 44 years old, and I've been walking these holes here the last two weeks and my legs are gone; they feel like rubber right now," he said. "Once I get my legs underneath me, I'm capable of playing the way I did this week, every week."
Damron dials for round of tournament
Robert Damron was considered out of contention after he shot a 3-over 75 in the second round Friday to finish on the cut line at 1-under par.
Damron had other plans.
He capped a weekend birdie explosion with the lowest round of the tournament, an 8-under 64 on Sunday to catapult up the leaderboard and into fifth place at 13 under.
"Things just started to go the right way," he said. "I played about the same all four rounds. Friday was just a few bad breaks, and the putts started going in, and I started to play pretty well."
Aided by an eagle on the par-5 second hole, Damron was 5 under through seven holes. After a bogey on No.8, he closed with a 4-under 32 on the back nine.
"You really just can't make a lot of birdies if you can't make the putts," said Damron, who needed just 23 putts in the final round. "I hit some close shots, but if you're going to make some low scores, like I did the last two days, you have to be rolling them in from 12 and 15 feet."
Success has been limited so far this year for Damron, who missed the cut in all five Nationwide Tour events he played in prior to the ARFC.
"It's nice to shoot some low rounds, and I don't think I've shot under par all year to be honest," said Damron, who won the 2001 Byron Nelson Classic in Irving, Texas. "I don't feel like I was playing bad, but just scoring bad, so it's nice to get a little momentum."
This and That
UGA Golf Course head professional Matt Peterson shot a 1-over 73 to finish in a tie for 56th at 1-over-par. He recorded as many birdies (four) in the first round as he did the last two days of the tournament. ... Last year's ARFC champion, Paul Gow, was disqualified in New Orleans on Friday after signing an incorrect scorecard. He shot 74-75 and missed the cut by eight strokes.

Eric Tillman is still wearing his Renegades GM cap, but he could exchange it for a cowboy hat next season.
A hot rumour circulating throughout the CFL suggests Tillman will join the Calgary Stampeders next year as an aide to GM/coach and close friend Matt Dunigan. But Tillman has denied any discussions have taken place.
Tillman told the Sun yesterday he knows nothing about the rumour, which was raised by Rogers Sportsnet's Jim Lang on the Team 1200 yesterday. Instead, Tillman insists he is concentrating solely on the 'Gades slim playoff hopes.
"My focus is -- and always has been -- this football team," said Tillman, whose contract with the Renegades expires at the end of the season and isn't expected to be renewed. "Who knows what's going to happen next year? It will bring whatever it brings.
"I don't know what's going to happen next year. I could be picking cotton in Mississippi for all I know. All I'm thinking about right now is the fact that this club wants to finish strong and we've still got an opportunity to make the playoffs."
Obviously, Calgary's gain would be a huge loss for Ottawa. While it's true the 'Gades haven't had the kind of season they expected, there is no arguing with Tillman's track record. During his three seasons with the team, he has brought in Josh Ranek, Jason Armstead, Kerry Joseph, Kelly Wiltshire, Gerald Vaughn and Lawrence Tynes, among others.
A move into the same position with the Stamps would make sense, since Dunigan has proven he's in over his head trying to perform the dual role of GM/coach. But Tillman has a job to finish in Ottawa and he's still under contract.
The Renegades are five points back of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Eastern Conference standings with two games remaining against the Tabbies. There's still hope, even if it's just mathematical, of making the playoffs.
That's why Tillman was parked in front of his television set watching Thanksgiving Day battles between British Columbia-Toronto and Edmonton-Montreal.
The CFL trade deadline is set for Wednesday at midnight, but Tillman doesn't expect to make any massive changes.
"(Coach) Joe Paopao and I are planning to talk (today) after these games and see if there's any situations where we might be able to do something," said Tillman. "Who knows? Maybe somebody gets an injury to a key player and they want to to do something. We'll have to see.
"Nobody is going to give up anything you need at this point of the season. We have an injury to Kerry Joseph and we're confident that Darnell Kennedy can go in there and get the job done. You're always looking to strengthen your Canadian content, but nobody wants to make those deals."
While the Renegades are now a playoff longshot, Tillman isn't ready to surrender just yet.
"Yes, the odds are stacked against us and we know we've put ourselves in a difficult position," said Tillman.
"But the only way we can control this situation is by going out and winning our games. That has to be our focus. Not one person on this team has given up hope. We feel we've got a chance and we're going to keep fighting."

SUNDAY, Feb. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Helmets reduce skiers' and snowboarders' risk of head injury by 35% and don't increase the risk of neck injury, a new study shows.
Some people believe that helmets may increase the risk of neck injury when skiers and snowboarders fall, particularly children, who have a greater head-to-body ratio.
Latest Exercise & Fitness News
In this study, Canadian researchers analyzed the findings of 12 studies conducted in Asia, Europe and North America and concluded that helmets were beneficial.
"The use of helmets significantly protects against head injuries among skiers and snowboarders," wrote Brent Hagel, of Alberta Children's Hospital, and colleagues. "Risks of head injury can be reduced by 35%."
"Based on this evidence, we encourage helmet use," they concluded.
The study was published Feb. 1 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Data from numerous countries suggest that head injuries account for up to 19% and neck injuries up to 4% of all ski and snowboard injuries reported by ski patrols and emergency departments. Among skiers and snowboarders, traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of death and serious injury.

Good Points
This is a particular favourite of mine, especially for lunches as they do a great deal. $7.00 (sterling) for a buffet lunch, starter and main meal. You can go back and forth for as much or as little as you like. Do note that this doesnt include a dessert or drink. Lovely clean and friendly atmosphere, the staff are always smiling, neat uniforms, lovely interior, comfortable chairs and a nice view of the river front.The menu is nicely laid out with a large selection of delicious chinese dishes.they have a good selection on ciders,beers etc although they dont stock some wines...A nice place to eat!
Bad Points
The staff are sometimes cause a problem as some of them dont seem to have great english, and sometimes they tend to rush in to collect plates when you may not have finished your meal. They can also at times not have a great service, in regards to carrying trays...i know this seems like such a silly thing to comment on but one spilt coffee in your lap is enough to cause problems.
General Comments
A lovely place to eat, social and generally have a good night out!

KISS frontman Gene Simmons has revealed that he's in talks with Rovio to develop a KISS/Angry Birds game.
In what specific capacity the two brands will mash up is unclear, as Simmons drops the bombshell almost flippantly during an interview with Industry Gamers.
"So Hello Kitty is one of the biggest brands on planet Earth," said Simmons. "Now there's KISS Hello Kitty, which we've already launched in 90 countries. We're talking with Angry Birds, KISS and Angry Birds, which will become a deal. The KISS and the Archie world have now teamed up and the first issues of KISS Archie comic books hits the world this month. KISS golf courses are starting in Las Vegas right across from the Hard Rock."
Last year at the MIPCOM convention in France, Simmons touted that there are now over three thousand KISS-branded products worldwide. "Everything from KISS condoms to KISS caskets. We'll get you coming and we'll get you going."
GamesBeat has reached out to both Rovio and KISS' publicist for clarification. KISS has previously been featured in various music rhythm games, as well as their own first-person shooter, KISS Psycho Circus.

House prices up 2.8% in Northern Ireland - ONS
House prices have risen by 2.8% in Northern Ireland in the last year.
Official figures show values crept up year-on-year to an average £130,000 in February 2014.
The index run by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the majority of the country is now seeing strong year-on-year growth in property prices.
All regions across the UK saw prices rise, ranging from a 17.7% increase in London to a 2.4% rise in Scotland.
Prices in Northern Ireland are still 50.2% below their previous index highs, while in Scotland and Wales they are 6.8% and 2.9% below their previous peaks respectively.
England remains the only UK nation where prices are above their pre-crisis peak, sitting at 5% above a high for the England index recorded in 2008.
The year-on-year rise in house prices in England is the fastest seen for the nation since June 2010.
London continues to drive the market, with property prices there now standing at reach £458,000 on average.
The report said: "House price growth is increasing strongly across most parts of the UK, with prices in London again showing the highest growth."
The typical cost of a home has jumped annually by 9.7% in England to reach around £264,000, by 5.3% in Wales to £167,000 and by 2.4% in Scotland to £183,000.
The latest figures fuelled concerns about "runaway train" house prices, with some commentators putting the blame partly on the Government's Help to Buy scheme, which has helped to increase demand in the housing market.
Help to Buy, which was fully launched into action at the end of last year, is designed to offer people with a deposit as low as 5% a helping hand onto or up the property ladder.
But critics have argued that it is adding to the upward pressure on house prices by ramping up demand from would-be buyers in areas where the supply of homes coming to market is failing to keep up.
Sam Bowman, research director of think-tank the Adam Smith Institute, said: "Help to Buy is likely to be one factor in these price rises, because the scheme inflates demand by subsidising home buying...
"But the biggest cause of these runaway train price rises is the planning system, which makes it inordinately difficult for new construction to take place to allow supply to meet demand."
Campbell Robb, chief executive of charity Shelter, said: "We need to see the Government commit to concrete plans that will close the ever expanding gap between the homes we have and the homes we need.
"This is the only way to put the brakes on our rollercoaster housing market, and give a generation of priced out young people and families the chance of a stable home."
Andrew Montlake, director of mortgage brokers Coreco, contrasted the house price data with separate figures released today which showed that the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rate of inflation has dropped to a new four-year low of 1.6%.
He said: "With inflation overall falling to 1.6%, this makes London's 17.7% uplift look even more extraordinary, contributing to a growing issue which continues to widen the gap between the generations in terms of home ownership."
Toughened mortgage lending rules are set to come into force later this month, which aim to prevent any return to irresponsible mortgage lending and will mean lenders have to take into account the impact that a possible future rise in interest rates could have on someone applying for a mortgage being able to afford their payments.
Mr Montlake said these new tightened rules under the Mortgage Market Review (MMR) rules will make the situation tougher for would-be first-time buyers who already face paying 10.5% more for a property than they did a year ago.
He said that a lack of homes to choose from and high stamp duty rates are putting potential sellers off putting their homes on the market.
Housing Minister Kris Hopkins said: "We have a series of initiatives to boost housing supply, including the provision of affordable housing and to support a healthy private rented sector.
"Our long-term economic plan and efforts to cut the record deficit we inherited mean interest rates remain at a record low making home ownership more affordable.
"And through schemes like Help to Buy we're helping people get on the property ladder with a fraction of the deposit they would normally require, with leading developers pledging to build more as a direct result of this increased demand."

The Mt. Lookout Grange, which had been the heartbeat of the community, has come into its own again in the past year.
In May last year, Patricia Burk and Betsy Harrison decided to relaunch the local Grange, which had been closed since the mid-1980s.
Now the group has an active membership of about 70.
"I didn't realize people were so hungry for community," said Burk, who is now a member of the executive committee.
The Grange is a nonprofit fraternal organization formally known on the national level as The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. As the name implies, it is an agricultural- and family- centered group.
Over the past year, the local Grange has been fulfilling its mission with monthly community dinners, food preservation activities and speakers.
Burk and Harrison saw the potential for the building to be used by the community after the Mancos Head Start class vacated the building. However, they didn't expect for it to flourish.
"There's been just overwhelming response to everything we've done," Burk said.
Burk grew up with the Grange and says she can remember playing there when she was 4 years old. She said she is pleased to see it drawing families with young children.
While the average age of American farmers is nearing 60, younger people in the Mancos Valley are getting back to the earth, and the Grange has given them a place to come together, said Harrison, the Grange treasurer.
The free community dinners have also helped draw people to the group.
"The dinners have a great feeling - it brings all kinds of people together," Harrison said.
On average, the dinners draw about 60 people, but the most recent dinner drew about 80 people. The group expects seating to expand outside during the summer.
Gretchen Groenke, a community health organizer with Live Well Montezuma, and Americorps volunteer Harrison Topp brought the idea to the group.
The community dinners recently expanded to Cortez.
Harrison also credits Topp with helping to draw in the younger members.
Part of the organization's strength has been offering a space for people in the community to host events.
The Grange is home to yoga and meditation classes, as well as classes on growing and using mushrooms among other events.
The Grange hopes to continue to expand with a demonstration garden as well as a Junior Grange for children under 14.
Monthly meetings are held on the first Monday, at 6 p.m., and community dinners are n the second Sunday at 5:30 p.m.

The infamous Polar Vortex has been rippling over the nation for weeks now and the knee high ice on the mountain is hard as cement. I can no longer follow the comings and goings of the wild beasties; coy-dogs, fisher cats, moose, deer and foxes, because their trails leave no mark. The only exceptions are the wild turkey tracks that festoon the hardened snow in the driveway. A bleak winter for sure.
At the same time the wider world is heating up as Russia flexes its muscles and expands into Ukraine. I am old enough to remember when Czechoslovakia was invaded by the Russians. I remember the outrage I felt because the US did nothing – as a European born child of the post WWII era the sight of tanks rolling into cities was just too vivid to ignore, even from the safe distance of the USA. I am a bit older now and I understand the dangers of flinging a country gleefully into the fray (think of the wasted lives from the catastrophic wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan). I suspect there is not much Americans and the West can do, once the Russian Bear starts dancing. It feels like the Cold War is heating up once again.
Meanwhile, there is a hot little drama unfolding in the Herbal world as well. Our tiny little microcosm of society has even made it into National Public Radio in recent weeks. The looming controversy has to do with a company from Vermont (of all places) that has decided to patent a folk remedy that has been around for decades (and longer) called Fire Cider. At this time they are issuing "cease and desist" legal orders to any small purveyor of the product that happens to carry it on their website.
This kind of strong arm theft and protectionism of a folk remedy sets a very dangerous precedent. Old hippies will remember the popular "Dr. Bronner's Castille Soap". Thankfully Dr. Bronner did not try to copyright the term "Castille Soap" which is essentially what this miserable little company "Shire City Herbals" has done. A boycott is in progress.

Dear Friends,
The saga of Fire Cider continues….
I wish to thank you all for your ongoing support. It's been amazing to see how many people have mobilized over this issue and who are willing to support free ownership of Fire Cider. To me this issue is larger than just fire cider. However, in this moment it is most important that the name and product "Fire Cider" be returned to its rightful owners, the herbal community, many who have been making, using, and selling Fire Cider longer than Shire City Herbals has been in existence. When I first made Fire Cider, named it such, and taught hundreds of other people how to make it through my books, videos, classes, and conferences, I never imagined for a moment that anyone would think they could claim it as their own, or worse, deny others the right to sell it.
I believe in trademark laws, and I believe in supporting the success of small and large ~ yes, large ~ businesses as well but only if they demonstrate the ethics and integrity that have been part of the herbal community and movement since it was seeded in the early 1970's. But, this is clearly a case where a company claimed ownership of something it neither created nor named. In fact, we have written documentation, including copyrights that Fire Cider was in existence in the 1980's.
I read Shire City Herbals' recent response to why they feel they have the right to keep the name they trademarked. Though I thought their letter was well written and very tactful, I also found it very interesting how they have rewritten the story in their best interest. In 'their story' they become the victims and the herbal community becomes the bullies who are trying to destroy 'the small business that puts food on their table'. Though, yes, sadly there have been accusations and less than positive messages hurled from both sides, Shire City Herbals fails to mention the thousands of thoughtful well written emails/letters supporting their business but requesting they drop the trademark and suggesting viable win/win solutions.
They have also failed to mention that when they sent out the cease and desist letters, that it meant that other small companies who counted on the sales of Fire Cider to put 'food on their tables' no longer could do so. And further, they failed to mention that there are companies who have been selling Fire Cider at farmers markets, local food stores, online, and through their catalogues far longer than Shire City Herbals has been in business. What happens to these companies when they get their cease and desist orders?
It was interesting to read in an earlier email from the Shire folks that Dana had learned to make Fire Cider from his grandmother, who he claims fed it to him as a small child. He asserts that he had no other knowledge of fire cider outside of this experience within his family. However, there are many different versions circulating online of how Dana learned to make Fire Cider, including the possibility that he learned about it during his time at the Southwest Institute for Healing Arts. If he did learn about it in his studies than they knowingly trademarked something that wasn't truly their own.
Finally, in 'their story' they claim they are the protectors of the name Fire Cider and trademarked it so that other larger companies wouldn't grab it. This seems to be one of their main arguments for holding onto the name. I appreciate that Shire City Herbals feels protective of 'their' name and wants to protect big companies from grabbing the trademark but we propose that there is a wiser, fairer and better option, one that benefits everyone, not just their company. From their lenses, they become the crusaders for herbal medicine bringing the knowledge of fire cider and its benefits to the masses, ignoring the hundreds of people that have been doing this quite successfully before them. No one denies their success, but they are following in the footsteps of a huge movement started long before they sent out the first announcement of their company or trademarked their first product.
Perhaps this whole discussion is tied into the intellectual property rights of the herbal community, much like the property rights of indigenous people? Who has a right to 'own' these formulas and claim title to names that have been used by thousands of people? What's the future of popular products/names like Zoom Balls, Kava Chai, Healing Salve, Kloss's Liniment, or even Elderberry Syrup? Will they too get claimed and tied up in private ownership? It's an interesting and challenging process. Let's do what we can to get Fire Cider back so that other companies can sell it in their local farmers markets, local stores, online and in catalogues. Shire City Herbal folks can of course continue as well, but should do so under a trademark of their own unique name like Shire Fire Cider or whatever they choose.
In addition to addressing the issues with Fire Cider, let's do something bigger. Let's do what we can to create a legal safe haven, or an 'Herbally Owned' trademark (thanks to Sara Katz for this one), where we can safeguard Fire Cider and other popular 'public' formulas so this doesn't occur again. All of this time and energy is well spent, I feel, if we can intentionally create a way to ensure that all herbalists will have equal access to our herbal traditions now and in the generations to come.
This is a great wake up call! I have appointed a core team that I entrust to lead us through this, we continue to need your support however you are able to give it. Let's go for it, together!
With you in herbal ways,
Rosemary Gladstar
These can be used in articles, talking to the public, radio shows….
* The term "Fire Cider" was coined by Rosemary Gladstar. She has published copyrighted books coining the term "fire cider" from the 90's, and has freely shared this term since the 1970's. This term has become a generic herbal term that many herbal companies sell their own version of. This anti-trademark fire cider movement sprang up after a business trademarked term, "Fire Cider", bringing to light a bigger issue within the herbal community, trade-marking common herbal terms. The herbal community is now fighting to keep them in public use.
*This is not about Shire City Herbals as individuals or their business, this is about defending a generic herbal term and keeping it in public use. Shire City Herbals responses to the issue are not accepted by this community, and we are reacting with an organized response. This grassroots movement is working to protect other generic herbal terms as well as "Fire Cider".
*We have a petition going to revoke this, with over 3000 signatures in the first 48 hours. This demonstrates that this term is generic and should not be trademarked.
* There is an active boycott, with herbalists/ supporters contacting retailers of Shire City Herbals Fire Cider, and returning their product to the stores. This boycott will end when the term "Fire Cider" is back in public use.
* This type action opens the door to trademarking of traditional medicines for profit. The biggest reason that this is dangerous is because herbs and herbalism have always been widely available to everyone. Trademarking traditional terms will change the herbal market into something that looks more like what the pharmaceutical industry looks like right now, with corporations owning words/terms that were previously accessible to the public.
*This anti-trademark movement is working towards keeping traditional herbal terms in the hands of small businesses, teachers and the general public. Through legal measures, a boycott, and a petition, we are working to protect herbalists from being penalized for using terms that have always been in public use.
Dear Retailer,
I am writing to raise your attention to a public controversy regarding one of the products you carry, Shire City Herbal's Fire Cider.
"Fire Cider" is an herbal product that has been made and sold by numerous small companies since the early 1980's. The name was coined by Rosemary Gladstar over 35 years ago, she has shared the name and the basic recipe freely since then to thousands of people; it's as common as "Elderberry Syrup" in the herb world. The name and recipe are published in Rosemary's books from the 90's and pamphlets from the 1980's. But even more importantly, there are many herbal companies that use this term for a similar product – every producer has a slightly different recipe, but almost everyone markets it as "Fire Cider".
The manufacturers of this particular Fire Cider, Shire City Herbals, hired a lawyer and trademarked the name, and have started taking legal action against other herbal companies that sell Fire Cider. People who have been selling this product for over 30 years have been told that they can no longer call what they sell "Fire Cider", because Shire City Herbals has the exclusive rights to use that name.
Why should you care about this?
This type of action will open the door to trademarking of traditional medicines for profit. The biggest reason that this is unethical is because herbs and herbal terms have always been widely available to everyone. The precedent of trademarking traditional herbal terms could change the many vibrant, varied herbal businesses into something that looks more like what the pharmaceutical industry looks like right now.
This company has been approached by Rosemary Gladstar and thousands of supporters asking them to remove the trademark, and they will not do this. We do not object to trademarking an original product and original name, but Shire City Herbals claimed and then trademarked a product and name that was made and sold by many small herbal business's long before they ever sent out their first bottle of Fire Cider. We are not objecting to their using the name, we are asking them to trademark it under their own original name, such as Shire City Fire Cider, so that other companys that have been making and selling Fire Cider can continue to do so.
We would like you to consider removing Fire Cider made by Shire City Herbals from your shelves until they revoke the trademark. Please consider contacting the company and encourage them to remove the trademark. If keeping herbal products and their commonly used names free and in public use is important to you, then this is a great way to show it!
There is an active petition asking the United States Patent and Trademark Office to remove of trademark. At this time we have over 7000 signatures.
The public also showed their support for this issue on World Fire Cider Making Day, February 2, 2014 with thousands of people making their own versions of Fire Cider.
Thank you for your time,

Your infant or child may be baptized at your Minnesota home
I have performed dozens of personalized home baptisms in the Minneapolis, MN area, and whether you are religious or not, it's wonderful to have a loving ceremony where your child can be welcomed into the folds of your family unit. Also, you, as parents, can be reminded of the love and community around your family. Often a late morning or early afternoon on a Saturday at your home works best. There is a fee of $495.
In a celebration of love and sharing, you may welcome your child into the family of God and celebrate your familial connection with a ritual that brings your family together with:
The importance of Godparents - Your child will never be alone. God will always be with them, you will always be with them, and your child's godparents will always be with them. Through thick and thin, as relationships come and go in your child's life, your child will always know they have these special people to rely on.
Grandparents - Grandparents are a close part of a child's life, and to have a ritual that emphasizes the importance of this bond is very important, and that recognition can be so special.
Close family - This event can be special time for a mini family reunion, and a chance to bring loved ones together in a meaningful way.
Baptismal certificate with envelope is included
Accepted by any church (including Catholic, Lutheran, and Methodist churches)
You can formally recognize the meaning of your child's name.
Perhaps there is a family member that their first name or middle name is named after, and this relationship can be honored.
Perhaps there is a meaning behind your child's first or middle name (Old English, Norwegian, from the bible, the name "Chloe" means "New Beginning" etc.).
You may have several baptisms at once: You may baptize your infant or your young children (sometimes several at once), and if you have never been christened, you also maybe be baptized at the same time.
This ritual may reflect your faith and your wishes - you do not have to join a church, and if you are ever joining a church later on, you may then join as a person who is already baptized.
The decision to baptize your child is entirely up to you, the parents. Anyone at any age can be baptized, and it is not necessary for the christening to place in a church, but may take place in a place surrounded by God and family. A private baptism in Minnesota may be performed in your home or in a park, but the site you select should be special, so when your child looks back on it, they will be proud of where it was held and how it was held.
How the baptism usually goes: We gather around, make introductions, take a few family photos, and then we get started.
We may gather in a circle, with the parents and the baby/child/children standing beside the baptismal font, then we begin with:
Introduction and Prayer
Blessing of the Water
Thanking of Parents
Gospel of Jesus and the Children
Prayer for Deliverance, then the Baptism(s)
Instruction to Parents and Godparents (basically, a loving message to support the child throughout their life)
Prayer and Blessing
Your baptism may be anywhere in the Minneapolis, MN area, and the timing is usually 10-15 minutes - long enough that it doesn't just flash by, but not so long as anyone gets bored. If there is a song or reading by a friend (not common), it would be longer, but usually 10-15 minutes is about right. Then there's congratulations, some hugs
, and often the family starts eating, celebrating, talking to each other. A private home baptism is not only a time for ritual, but an occasion for family to come together (much like weddings and funerals may be the only time some family members get to see each other).
I hope the above gives you an idea of how your child's baptism might go. You'll receive a complete scripting of the event beforehand, just to make sure all the names are correct and to make sure everything meets your approval. Most couples choose to have their children's baptisms in their homes, usually on a Saturday afternoon, with the godparents and oth
er relatives attending. I will travel to anywhere in the Minneapolis and St Paul, Minnesota metro area, and I will bring the baptismal set, so there isn't anything you
to set up. If you want, you may wish to set up a table, and perhaps have a candle lit in memory of loved ones who have passed away, but these choices are not mandatory. The child (or children) is usually dressed in a christening dress or a nice outfit.
See if I'm free on your date and time!

Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor are not the best of friends, we all know that and they have had a few random fights before. But according to the latest reports, Priyanka Chopra will be romancing her arch-rival Kareena Kapoor's hubby, Saif Ali Khan in Kabir Khan's upcoming flick!
Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor featured in Aitraaz together and they became very good friends during the movie shooting! But when Priyanka Chopra received much more appreciation than Kareena in the movie, it created a cold-war situation between the two hot actresses. Then again, on Karan Johar's Koffee with Karan, Kareena commented, "I wonder where Priyanka got her accent from?" to which Priyanka responded saying, "I want to tell Kareena that I got my accent from the same place where her boyfriend got his," obviously referring to Saif! On the same chat show, Priyanka also said, "I don't think people take Kareena too seriously."
But it looks like now, the two actresses have decided to act mature! About time, seriously! Bebo was seen at the funeral of Priyanka Chopra's father and Kareena also said in one of her recnet interviews that she'd love to see the Priyanka and Saif jodi onscreen! Well, she had to mention the word 'onscreen', didn't she? And looks like her wishes just came true! Even we can't wait to watch this interesting pair-up!

Harris Awarded $150 M Contract for FAA's NextGen Data Communications Program
- Harris network will support digital data communications between controllers and flight crews.
- Represents key milestone in existing FAA Data Communications Integrated Services program.
- FAA Data Communications contracts awarded to Harris now total $481 million.
Harris Corporation, has received authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration to begin work on the seven-year, $150 million Data communications Network Services (DCNS) element of its Data Communications Integrated Services (DCIS) program. DCNS will help to transition U.S. air traffic control from primarily analog voice communications to digital data connectivity -- significantly increasing the efficiency and safety of the nation's air traffic control system.
Under DCNS, Harris will provide the terrestrial circuits and very high frequency data links that connect ground-based air traffic controllers and airborne flight crews. This will enable air traffic controllers and pilots to communicate more effectively by supplementing traditional voice communications with data to enhance departure clearances, weather route, and other air traffic procedures. These enhanced procedures will save fuel, reduce flight times, and increase air traffic capacity.
Global Man-Portable Military Electronics Market 2017-2027
Harris DCNS partners include ARINC, SITA, and Thales. The DCNS tasks will be performed under the $331 million Data Communications Integrated Services contract, which was awarded to Harris in September 2012. Under that contract, the company is helping the FAA to integrate its end-to-end data communications system.
"DCNS is a critical next step in advancing the nation's aviation system into the digital era,� said John O'Sullivan, vice president, Civil Business Unit NextGen Programs, Harris Government Communications Systems. "The National Air Space primarily uses analog voice communications for air traffic control. DCNS will enable the FAA to begin a successful, early transition to comprehensive, digital data connectivity."

As we colonize the cloud we'll need to acquire some other basic concepts too, writes Jon Udell. The one he is focusing on in the elmcity project is syndication. It's a broad concept that unites all the principles Jon discuss in Seven ways to think like the web:
He writes:
I'm exploring these principles in the context of calendar syndication, but they apply in many other realms too. In Goodbye Fax, Hello Personal Cloud, for example, I imagined a world in which we syndicate health information to and from insurers and care providers. Why don't things work that way yet? Sure, our systems aren't ready. But neither are we.
Syndication, at its core, means that when you want to give me something, you don't have to send me a copy. You can instead grant me access to your original. Like the decoding of symbolic representations, like monetary inflation, like asymmetric cryptography, this is not a possibility that millions of years of evolution prepared us for. It's not hardwired. It's not something we easily and naturally learn. It's why we so often still abuse email with attachments instead of connecting our shared spaces in the cloud.
In the realm of public calendars, the free flow of information flow is largely thwarted by what I call the Submit Your Event Antipattern. "Got events for the public calendar? Send them to us." Which makes sense because for millions of years that's how you gave stuff to people: you handed it over. It's only in the last 15 years that a radically different possibility emerged. "Got events for the public calendar? Give us access to your feed."
"Why can't Johnny syndicate? He'll learn, but it will take a while, and the right kind of education will help," Jon writes.
Have a read of the full post on Cloudline and weigh in in this forum: What makes it so hard to live up to the web's potential? If PGP never happened, will syndication? Will people ever think like the web?
Views: 354
Hey, maybe when my brain connects with the cloud (per Kurzweil -- see post), I'll get rewired to think like the web.
I agree that this is as much an information technology problem as it is a human problem, but the human problem might be solvable with better IT. We humans often take the simpler approach to sharing information rather than the one that might be correct for the system we're using.
For example, which solution is easier:
1. Open a new e-mail message. Click the attach button. Browse to the file I want to send. Attach. Send.
2. Upload the file I want to send to a cloud service which enables sharing of documents. Obtain the public URL. Open a new e-mail message. Paste the URL. Send.
I may know which method I'd *rather* use (cloud sharing), but if I am unsure of the technical capabilities of the recipient, I may opt to perpetuate the 'tried and true' method and attach the file -- version control, efficiency of messaging and utilization of resources be damned.
In the future, we need systems which make the kinds of information that we want to share more easily sharable than traditional methods. And we need to balance the convenience of sharing with the risks of over-sharing. If my private calendars were made public, for instance, I may open up my private life to more scrutiny than I'd normally prefer. And if the system to control over-sharing were too complex, I'd probably opt-out of the entire system all together (re: PGP).
It seems like it's just a change of what process is followed. As these technologies become more prevalent sharing feeds in order to synchronize data rather than sharing individual files or appointments will become more and more common place.

Anytime I can be, I try to stay as organized as possible. Whether that happens is another issue on its own. In the next few weeks we will be doing some traveling therefore, lots of organization is required especially with those pesky little accessories. Plastic is my solution.
Cindy's hair is finally long enough to put in pig tails and those little hair ties are oh so tiny. I realized you can put them in a pill case or I found these bead cases at Walmart for a $1 and they are perfect!
It keeps it nice and organized and color coded. It is a little bulky for me to be carrying around everywhere so I usually throw a few hair ties in my wallet in case we lose one.
Now when we came to Cali she was on formula and I was using these formula travel tupper ware and they were really handy. Well, now that I am not using them anymore I didn't want them to go empty in my suitcase so I found something perfect to fit inside. I put all my earrings in this one and it seriously works out perfectly.
And in the smaller one I put all of my bobby pins. Perfect fit and so much easier than a plastic baggie, which is what I was using before.
I love getting creative when organizing and reusing things I already have. For other organizing ideas you can also check out my Organization Board on Pinterest.

wikiHow to Fix Peeling Areas on Bycast Leather
Are you wondering how to fix peeling or worn areas on a bicast or bonded leather couch? That can be done in a few simple steps.
1Clean the area that requires repair. Use a high quality leather cleaner that does not have any oils or wax additives. Try using a leather cleaning cloth or high quality microfiber cloth rather than a cotton rag or towel. Microfiber cloths pull the soil into the cloth while lesser quality cloths just push the solid around. Let area dry - you can speed the drying process by using a hair dryer.
2Pick off and clean the loose finish with a pair of tweezers trying not to create more damage. Once area is cleaned up lightly sand area with 400-600 grit sandpaper. Wipe off any fine dust.
3Shake the dye bottle and apply the leather dye to worn or cracked surface. Push the leather dyes into the material with a rubber glove to maximize absorption. Let area dry- you can speed the drying process by using a hair dryer.
4Apply 2-3 coats of leather dye to the surface or until you are happy with the overall look of the repair. Let dry - apply leather sealer as the final coat to the surface and let dry. Again you can speed the drying process be using hairdryer
Community Q&A

A premature newborn is delivered before 37 weeks of development in the uterus. A premature newborn has underdeveloped organs, which may not be ready to function outside of the uterus.
A previous premature birth, multiple births, poor nutrition during pregnancy, late prenatal care, and severe high blood pressure increase the risk of a premature birth.
Because many organs are underdeveloped, premature newborns may have difficulty breathing and feeding and are prone to bleeding in the brain, infections, and other problems.
The earliest (smallest) premature newborns are at far greater risk of having problems, including developmental problems, but even so the majority of survivors have no permanent problems.
Some premature newborns grow up with permanent problems.
Early prenatal care reduces the risk of a premature birth.
Premature birth can sometimes be delayed for a brief period by giving the mother drugs to slow or stop contractions.
When an infant is expected to be delivered significantly early, doctors can give the mother injections of a corticosteroid to speed the development of the fetus's lungs and help prevent intraventricular hemorrhage.
Full-term pregnancy lasts 37 to 40 weeks. About 12% of newborns are born prematurely (preterm). Many of these newborns are born just a few weeks early and do not experience any problems related to their prematurity. However, the more prematurely newborns are born, the more they are prone to serious and even life-threatening complications. Extreme prematurity is the single most common cause of death in newborns. Also, newborns born very prematurely are at high risk of long-term problems, especially delayed development and learning disorders. Nonetheless, most infants who are born prematurely grow up with no long-term difficulties. The risk of premature birth is decreased with early prenatal care.
The reasons for premature birth are frequently unknown. However, the risk of premature birth is higher among adolescents and older women, women of lower socioeconomic status, women with inadequate prenatal care, and those with multiple fetuses (twins, triplets, quadruplets). Poor nutrition and untreated infections, such as urinary tract infections or sexually transmitted diseases, during pregnancy also increase the risk of premature birth. Other women at increased risk of premature birth are those who have had a previous premature birth or who themselves have serious or life-threatening disorders, including heart disease, severe high blood pressure, kidney disease, preeclampsia or eclampsia (see Preeclampsia and Eclampsia), or infection of the uterus (chorioamnionitis).
Premature newborns usually weigh less than 5½ pounds (2.5 kilograms), and some weigh as little as 1 pound (½ kilogram). An ultrasound examination of the fetus done early in the pregnancy and physical features and examination of the newborn after delivery help doctors determine the gestational age (length of time spent in the uterus after the egg is fertilized).
Symptoms often depend on immaturity of various organs. For example, some organs, such as the lungs or brain, may not be fully developed. Premature newborns may also have difficulty regulating their body temperature and the level of sugar in the blood. The immune system is also underdeveloped.
Underdeveloped Brain
Several problems arise when an infant is born before the brain is fully developed. These problems include
Inconsistent breathing: The part of the brain that controls regular breathing may be so immature that premature newborns breathe inconsistently, with short pauses in breathing or periods during which breathing stops completely for 20 seconds or longer (apnea—see see Apnea of Prematurity).
Difficulty coordinating feeding and breathing: The parts of the brain that control reflexes involving the mouth and throat are immature, so premature newborns may not be able to suck and swallow normally, resulting in difficulty coordinating feeding with breathing.
Bleeding (hemorrhage) in the brain: Newborns born very prematurely are at increased risk of bleeding in the brain (see Head and Brain Injury). Bleeding typically begins in an area of the brain called the germinal matrix and may extend into fluid-filled spaces within the brain called the ventricles. This form of hemorrhage is most likely to occur in newborns born very prematurely (before 28 weeks of pregnancy), when problems occur during labor or delivery, or when breathing problems (such as respiratory distress syndrome) arise after birth. Most newborns with small brain hemorrhages have no symptoms, but some newborns with large hemorrhages may experience lethargy, seizures, or even coma. Newborns with small or moderate-sized hemorrhages usually develop normally. Newborns with very large hemorrhages are at higher risk of having developmental delay, cerebral palsy, or learning disorders, and a few may not survive. The final neurologic outcome is in large part determined by the amount and quality of the infant's interactions with the parents or caregivers (for example, holding, singing, playing with age-appropriate toys, and reading).
Underdeveloped Digestive Tract and Liver
An underdeveloped digestive tract and liver can cause several problems, including
Frequent episodes of spitting-up: Initially, premature newborns may have difficulty with feedings. Not only do they have immature sucking and swallowing reflexes, but also their small stomach empties slowly, which can lead to frequent episodes of spitting up (reflux).
Intestinal damage: Very premature newborns may develop a serious complication in which part of the intestine becomes severely damaged (called necrotizing enterocolitis—see see Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)).
Jaundice: In premature newborns, the liver is slow in clearing bilirubin (the yellow bile pigment that results from the normal breakdown of red blood cells) from the blood. Thus, the yellow pigment accumulates, giving the skin and the whites of the eyes a yellow color (jaundice). Premature newborns tend to become jaundiced (see Jaundice in Adults) in the first few days after birth. Usually, jaundice is mild and resolves as newborns take in larger amounts during feedings and have more frequent bowel movements (bilirubin is removed in the bowel movements and causes stools to be bright yellow at first). Rarely, very high levels of bilirubin accumulate and put newborns at risk of developing kernicterus. Kernicterus is a form of brain damage caused by deposits of bilirubin in the brain (Jaundice in the Newborn).
Underdeveloped Immune System
Infants born very prematurely have low levels of antibodies, substances in the bloodstream that help protect against infection. Antibodies cross the placenta (the organ that connects the fetus to the uterus and provides nourishment to the fetus) from mother to the fetus during the latter part of pregnancy. Therefore, the risk of developing infections, especially infection in the blood (sepsis), is higher in premature newborns. The use of special invasive devices for treatment, such as catheters in blood vessels and breathing (endotracheal) tubes, further increases the risk of developing serious infections.
Underdeveloped Kidneys
Before delivery, waste products produced in the fetus are removed by the placenta and then excreted by the mother's kidneys. After delivery, the newborn's kidneys must take over these functions. Kidney function is diminished in very premature newborns but improves as the kidneys mature. Newborns with underdeveloped kidneys may have difficulty regulating the amount of salt and water in the body.
Underdeveloped Lungs
The lungs of premature newborns may not have had enough time to fully develop before birth. Such newborns are likely to have respiratory distress syndrome, causing visibly labored breathing, flaring of the nostrils while breathing in, a grunting sound while breathing out, and a bluish discoloration to the skin (cyanosis) if oxygen levels in the blood are low (see Respiratory Distress Syndrome). Respiratory distress syndrome occurs if the lungs are not mature enough to produce surfactant, a substance that coats the inside of the air sacs and allows the air sacs of the lungs to remain open.
Difficulty Regulating Blood Sugar Levels
Because premature newborns have difficulty feeding and maintaining normal blood sugar (glucose) levels, they are often treated with glucose (sugar) solutions given by vein (intravenously) or given small frequent feedings. Without regular feedings, newborns may develop low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia—see Hypoglycemia). Most newborns with hypoglycemia do not develop symptoms. Others become listless with poor muscle tone, feed poorly, or become jittery. Rarely, seizures develop. Premature newborns are also prone to developing high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) if they receive too much sugar intravenously, but hyperglycemia rarely causes symptoms.
Difficulty Regulating Body Temperature
Because premature newborns have a large skin surface area relative to their weight compared to full-term newborns, they tend to lose heat rapidly and have difficulty maintaining normal body temperature, especially if they are in a cool room or if there is a draft. Therefore, their body temperature falls unless they are warmed in an incubator or by an overhead radiant warmer. If they are exposed to a cool environment, premature newborns generate extra body heat, markedly increasing their rate of metabolism and making it difficult for them to gain weight.
Over recent decades, the survival of premature newborns has improved dramatically. For most premature newborns, the long-term prognosis is very good, and they develop normally. However, risk of death and long-term problems begins to increase in infants born before 26 weeks of pregnancy and particularly in those born before 24 weeks. Risks include delayed development, cerebral palsy, and vision impairment. Many newborns who are extremely premature have normal intelligence, but some have learning disorders that eventually require special help in school.
The best way for premature birth to be prevented is for the expectant mother to take good care of her own health. She should eat a nutritious diet and avoid alcohol, tobacco, and drugs unless they are needed to treat a medical condition. Ideally, expectant mothers should receive early and regular prenatal care so that any complications of pregnancy can be recognized early and treated.
If labor starts well before term, obstetricians may give drugs to the pregnant woman to slow or stop contractions for a short time. During that interval, corticosteroids, such as betamethasone, may be given to the mother to speed the development of the fetus's lungs to reduce the risk of the newborn developing respiratory distress syndrome and also to reduce the risk of brain hemorrhage.
Treatment involves managing the complications of prematurity, such as respiratory distress syndrome and high bilirubin levels (hyperbilirubinemia). Very premature newborns are given nutrition into their veins until they can tolerate feedings into their stomach through a feeding tube and eventually feedings by mouth. The mother's breast milk is the best food for premature infants. Use of breast milk decreases the risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis. Premature newborns may need to be hospitalized for days, weeks, or months.

Making MusicOfficial work to keep up, I see?
Good review, As I can't see myself listening to an entire Secret Machines CD (I do like their songs though) I'll stay away from this.
Album Rating: 3.5Everyone thinks that me and MusicOfficial have some kind of rivalry. I ain't got no beef with him, and I assume he's the same way.
It's BERRY Gordy, not Barry.
Hello, Motown?
great review for a shitty album. this is the only secret machines release i could never get into. i love the original work, but it doesnt really make sense for the secret machines to cover folk and r&b. astral weeks and immer wieder are good, but not good enough to redeem the EP. maybe i would enjoy it more if 2 minutes were cut from each track

A "store-in-store" is how Strand marketing manager Lilly Widen described the new book shop inside Club Monaco's flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The famous used-and-antiquarian Manhattan bookstore has partnered with the clothing retailer on a new concept that combines the main product—the clothes—with other lifestyle add-ons. In addition to books, there is a cafe run by Brooklyn brewer Toby's Estate. Widen said Club Monaco approached the Strand with the concept early in 2013, because, in part, it was expanding its New York flagship. The Strand, which inked a one-year contract with Club Monaco, has not signed on to do any other store-in-store ventures, but Widen said this effort gives the bookstore the chance to "explore the Flatiron neighborhood" (where it has never had a presence), and test selling books in another retailer's space. On Club Monaco's end, the books help in taking its five brand pillars—fashion, food, travel, music, and art—and integrating them more fully into the bricks-and-mortar experience.
The Strand's Club Monaco store, which opened in September and is decked out for the holidays, carries 2,500 books, and 700 different titles, in both fiction and nonfiction. The store is stocked entirely by Strand staff, and there are usually two booksellers on the floor at any time.

Mexicans will not go to the polls to elect their next President for another nine months, but as of last week everyone knew who the winner would be. His name: Luis Echeverria Alvarez, 47, now Interior Minister under outgoing President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz. Endorsed last week by the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (P.R.I.), Echeverria is certain to be formally named the P.R.I.'s candidate during the party's convention next month. Because Mexico is virtually a one-party state, that nomination is equivalent to election to a six-year term. Since P.R.I.'s founding 41 years ago in the wake of Mexico's revolution, it...

++LanX for an excellent answer (way faster than my brute force approach).
Allow me one nit-pick:
9! = 362880 possible combinations are checked in a recursive function.
Throwing in a counter shows that sub append_digit is actually called 986,410 times. Took me a while to work out why...
9! is the number of combinations if every number has exactly 9 digits. But we also allow numbers with 1, 2, ..., 8 digits. So the total number of combinations is:
(That 1 extra sub call is the first one, when @number is empty.)
For anyone else trying to understand how this code works, here is my slightly-reworked version which outputs the results in the order found:

It was quick and easy to use this service. If anything it almost felt to easy, considering that it is a huge thing to legally change your name.
I don't like the fact that I got an email letting me know about needing further copies AFTER I had started the process, this should of been made clear at the beginning. The list of people that you need to tell is excellent, but again, should have been given at the start so further copies could be ordered straight away. The way it was done makes it feel a bit as if you after after money.
It's hard to say how well the process has gone as I haven't received anything yet but if I receive the paperwork and it is accepted I'll be very pleased.
Perhaps an addition to your service would be to carry out all the name changing for me! Now that would be worth paying for!
