Deep Freeze cool gel is described as an "Effective pain relieving gel" for minor injuries and was purchased by me when I pulled an arm muscle heaving storage boxes out from under the bed. I paid 1.49 for it in my local branch of Savers. For this I got a 35g tube.
The product is suitable for children over five years and adults including the elderly. It comes in a squeezy tube with a screw on cap. This cap is easy to undo. There is then a little foil cap to pierce with a spike built into the cap. Again no problems there.
The tube felt icy cold in my hand as soon as I took it out of it's box. That surprised and impressed me. The gel is a translucent blue of medium consistency, not easily over squeezed out when the product is new. When you are trying to get the last bits out though don't be tempted to roll up the tube from the base. My split in multiple places when I did that.
Dies the gel work? Well yes, moderately. I chose the gel over the spray because the packaging said part of the relief it gave was from being massaged in which made sense to me. As soon as it touches the skin you feel a strong chill which increases as it is massaged in. It took the edge off the pain without removing it and only lasted a couple of hours. The menthol smell was extremely strong, my whole upper floor of the house smelt of it after I put it on and I had difficulty removing the smell from my hands. Use gloves to apply!
I won't buy again because of the smell and short relief.
I regularly run at least 1.5miles, cycle up to 10 miles plus use heavy weights to improve my stength and physique which can take its toll on my body! I keep getting a niggling shoulder pain after running and only use products when things get bad so after using ibuprofen rubs a couple of time I was advised to try Deep Freeze gel.
Deep freeze is a convenient alternative to the ice pack quickly relieving and freezing pain immediately after application.
Deep Freeze is described as being suitable for the relief of pain in muscles, tendons and joints and can be used to treat minor sports injuries.
I bought the Deep Freeze gel from Superdrug for £1.99 which wasn't too bad a price for the branded product.
The Deep Freeze gel tube comes in a box 145mm (l) x 38mm (w) x 40mm (d), the box is quite attractive being a silvery blue and this is shiny. The box design has an image of ice towards the right end and has the Deep Freeze logo in blue with an ice appearance.
One side of the box describes how to use the gel and the benefits of this. The other side contains cautions, warnings and ingredients.
WARNINGS: Do not use if allergic to any ingredients.
Do not use on children under 5.
Keep away from children.
Do not use after the expiry date.
INGREDIENTS: racemic menthol 2%w/w, isopropyl alcohol, carbomer, triethanolamine (85%), methyl hydroxybenzoate E218, propyl hydroxybenzoate E216, Patent Blue V E131, purified water.
When I opened the box I found the 35g tube of Deep Freeze gel and an instruction leaflet which describes the product, when it should not be used, how to use it, side effects, storage and company information. The tube itself is 135mm (l) and 45mm (w) including the lid. The tube is blue in colour with the logo on the front side and directions, precautions, ingredients and company information on the back. The tube has a white plastic screw on lid which is easy to remove; when opened there is a foil seal on the tube before first use which must be pierced using the sharp part of the lid. When popping the foil don't squeeze the tube as you can end up wasting the gel before you've even used it.
Always use a small amount of the gel on the affected area and massage until it is rubbed in; be careful not to apply too much as it goes very sticky and sticks your clothes to you which is not a pleasant sensation. When squirted out the gel is quite thick and smells very minty but stronger, a bit like Vics vapour rub and I think it helps open the airways as well as treat the muscles. Immediately I feel the cold on my skin and after about 5 minutes my skin is tingly and cold.
I would recommend this gel for light aches and pains brought on in the joints, muscles and tendons as it cools almost instantly and allows for some loosening of the affected area and relief. For me my shoulder ache does soothe and I am not having to take tablets which I find to be a much healthier solution to my problem. However, the cold sensation may not suit everyone.
I have tried numerous products to relieve my back pain and spent a small fortune in the chemist. On my last visit I bought the deep freeze gel and spray. Here I shall talk about the deep freeze gel.
Inside the blue, distinctive cardboard box is a blue metallic tube containing 100 grams of deep freeze gel. The tube says "Deep Freeze" on it in some crazy writing that I think is meant to resemble icicles but to me looks like something that should be on a poster for a 1950's horror movie. The gel isn't spooky honest!
A 100gram tube will cost you around £3.00 at most local chemists and drug stores. You don't need to buy it over the counter so can just pick it up in the shop and pay without getting the Spanish inquisition.
The tube is foil capped and the lid has a handy little piercing tool which you can use to open it.
Deep Freeze cold gel claims to relieve muscle, tendon and joint pain and treat sports injury's. The instructions for children over 5 and adults are the same, squirt it onto your hand, massage it into skin 3 to 4 times a day then wash your hands.
The gel is an attractive light blue colour and is thick in consistency. It contains menthol and has a strong menthol smell to it. It's not quite as stinky as deep heat but its still strong and not exactly a perfume hence I don't use this during the day. It rubs in to the skin easily. Once applied to the painful area and rubbed in completely deep freeze gel starts to work right away and strangely enough doesn't feel cold at all. In fact it feels hot. You will feel heat and a tingling sensation. This will be the gentle muscle massage referred to on the back of the tube. The tingling and heat in my view combine to give a pleasant sensation and I find it effective at reducing pain and relaxing muscles. The claim is that it is for use on minor injury's on pain that is less severe I think this product would do a good job at easing it completely for a while. Anything stronger you will need to see your GP but you can use this as an additional aid.
I find the effects of deep freeze are strongest when it is initially applied. After an hour I find the effects start to reduce the tingling being the first to go. Overall, I would say it lasts around an hour and a half. I have knocked one star off as I would like it to last longer.
I prefer deep freeze gel to deep heat due to the tingling massage sensation and the fact that it doesn't smell as strong.
If your pain is severe it wont take it away but it will ease it and of course, its only a temporary measure and I would suggest if you do have unexplained pain that wont ease up take a trip to your docs but in the short term I think this is a pretty good effective product and if you don't want to pop pills this might do the trick. Don't use it on inflamed or broken skin and remember to wash your hands or you will have numb hands and might rub it in your eye Ouch!
Racemic Menthol 2%

Well that was a mouthful but thought I should let you know just in case!
The other day I woke up with such a stiff neck. Every time I tried to move it I was almost screaming out in agony and as the day went on it went to my shoulder all on the right hand side of me as well.
I took some pain killers and nothing worked throughout the day and me, well I do like gels, lotions and potions that are not medication as such and going to harm me and always buy different bits such as this when I see them 'just in case'.
This I forgot I had bought from Wilkinsons and it was buried away new and never opened in my medicine cabinet as I was actually looking for some Devils Claw Gel that I knew I had so I bypassed what I was looking for and decided to try this out for a change.
The Packaging:
The box the tube comes in is bright metalic silver with blue colours over it and on two sides of the box and in dark blue writing we are told that it is Deep Freeze, Cold Gel 2% w/w 'Effective Pain Relieving Gel and then on the other two sides of the box other information listed includes includes being told a bit about the product and how to use it, the ingredients are listed, the size is stated (in my case I have a 35g tube) and contact details for the manufacturer (Mentholatum) are listed. Inside the box you get a long blue coloured plastic tube with a twist on/off cap/lid to one end of it and all the information on the box is pretty much listed on there too and finally there is a leaflet in the box giveing warnings and so on.
A Bit About The Product According To The Information Given On The Box:
Deep Freeze Cold Gel is a pain relieving cold gel. Its cooling, penatrating action relieves pain in muscles, tendons and joints.
Deep Freeze Cold Gel should be applied to the affected area and massaged gently until completely absorbed into the skin.
Deep Freeze Cold Gel combines the principle of cold treatment with the benefits of gentle muscle massage.
Using It:
Well this is suitable for anyone over the age of five years old and can be used on one area up to 4 times a day. The gel is just that really its a light blue coloured gel when you dispense it into your fingers and with body heat it sort of melts so when you massage with it its rather fast at being absorbed into the skin.
The fragrance of this really is menthol, get it near your eyes or forget to wash your hands after using it you'll know about it! This really shouldn't be used anywhere near the eyes as I was only on my neck using it and it affected mine and they ran like I was crying my eyes out and they felt really agitated for a good while after!
The fragrance of this isn't disgusting but lets put it this way your probably best using this when alone and not before say going nightclubbing cos it does smell highly menthol for a good couple of hours on the skin once applied and I also notice that although it is fast at being absorbed it does leave me feeling ever so slightly sticky to the touch where I have applied it. Only a bit though so its only a minor niggle that to be fair.
However I do like this gel to be honest. Its very cooling on the skin and then goes warm after a couple of minutes and then sort of goes back to cold for a good half an hour on me. It does feel like it penetrates my muscles a bit making them a wee bit looser and more comfortable and I am impressed that the effects of his last me a couple of hours too.
This did not cure my stiff neck and frozen shoulder, however it did really help in improving the situation in the long term as well as offering me relief for a good couple of hours after using it. Yes it stinks, yes its slightly (very slightly sticky) and yes it annoys my eyes a fair bit as they are so sensitive but it works and is one of the only products available in this sort of format thats ever done anything for me. A little of it goes a very long way indeed and me...well I will be getting another couple of these as this is suitable to use for massage after training and gym etc and I've only just bought myself an exercise bike so I'm sure I'm going to need this on standby lol.
Available in all good chemists and supermarkets I can't remember the exact amount I paid in Wilkinson's for my tube but I'm sure it was under £2.00 for my sized tube.
This review is also posted on Ciao under this same username.
This gel is great value at around £1.50 per tube. You can buy it over the counter without needing a prescription.
The gel is a light blue colour and quite thick in consistency. It smells nice too. I would describe the scent as fresh and minty. It looks like it would work as the blue colour gives the impression of something cooling and soothing, which it is!
Tip: Try keeping the gel in the fridge for an extra cooling sensation!
Does the gel work? I am pleased to say that it does. The gel is easy enough to apply and it doesn't feel greasy on the skin either. It's easy to rub in and it absorbs quickly without leaving the gel sitting on your skin after use. The gel smells nice and it isn't too strong so you don't get any unwanted odour following you around all day, which is a bonus! The gel cools your joints down and it helps them to recover after injury and/ or exercise. I have a weak left wrist so I use this pretty often on it. It helps to take the pain away and the cooling sensation is really nice. It's great used in the summer as it's so cooling and refreshing and it's great used on sprains - both on the wrists and ankles.
A great product for aching joints. It lasts ages too as you only need a small amount per application.
After carrying my lug of an 8lbs10oz baby for nine months, my poor shoulders and back were so painful after I'd finally had him. I had a lot of tension in there, and lots of knots. I contacted my chiropractor for treatment, and alongside her therapy, she recommended buying some Deep Freeze to use every now and then.
You can buy it in 35g or 100g (the gel version) or you can buy patches or spray. I found the gel worked best.
I bought the big pack for £4.69 from Tesco.
I got my husband to put the Deep Freeze on my shoulders and back (I hadn't quite got back my flexibility yet!) and he said it felt really, really cold and tingly on his hands! I guess that is a given, though, considering the name of the product! It actually felt warm when he put it to my skin, but soon got very, very cold. It penetrated quickly, and did help in freeing up my tight muscles and worked as a very mild painkiller. The gel itself is clear and non- sticky, so it doesn't stain your clothes, or make them stick to you.
The recommended usage is 3-4 times daily, but I only needed to use it twice, normally at 8 in the morning and just before going to bed.
I prefer this product to Deep Heat, as there is no smell; it's odourless in fact. It is much smoother on application and just seems to work better. It didn't cure my bad muscles, but it certainly helped.
A warning, though. wash your hands thoroughly afterwards and DO NOT touch you eyes! if you do, you'll be crying for days!
I have suffered from back problems for about 6 years and was told my the doctor not to put any heat on it so I thought I would try a freezing gel instead and I have never looked back. This really is a lifesaver, especially on those days when you get out of bed and want to crawl back in because your back is aching.
Basically it is a long metal tube in a box, the gel is blue and thick, although when applying it to your back it can actually fall off and you are left on the hunt for blue gel before your dogs decided to eat it. Just remember to wash your hands really well after you apply it.
The gel works instantly and you feel a cooling sensation on your back, you feel it even more if you lean on something with your back (or the area you choose to use it on, it can be used anywhere, except internally obviously). At first the extra cooling sensation when you lean on the area is really bizarre, and can be off-putting but trust me that just means that it is working. It kinda just feels like someone is putting an ice cube on you or something like that, it isn't overpowering, neither is the smell.
The gel does not take that long to dry and does not stain clothes like other coloured gels can do. The price point it also really good for a pain reliever, 3-5 pounds tends to be the price bracket and you can even get sachets for 99p to try if you do not want to commit to a whole tube, but I recommend you do. The tube lasts a long time because a little of this gel does go a long way and it truely is money well spent, even just to get some relief.
Other uses of the product I have found are:
It is great for period pains, (I know heat helps but this helps a lot too)
My friend had sunstroke and was burning up and put this on the back of her neck and actually could not believe how much better she felt in such a short time.
I suffer from lower back pain and neck pain due to a bad car accident a few years ago and have to take painkillers and other medicines regularly, but I don't like to take tablets all the time as I don't want to become dependant on them, so I try alternative methods of pain relief and came across this gel in the chemist.
It cost me £3.49 for a 100g tube.
The box is a light blue colour to represent the coolness of the gel and the gel inside the tube is clear, you have to squeeze it onto the area where the pain is and rub it in, you don't need a lot otherwise it feels sticky, but a little rubbed in feels cold at first then numbs the area where there's an ache.
This gel is good for joint pain, muscular pain and tendon pain, I have a dull ache in my neck and lower back all the time it's not a sharp pain but is just there constantly, I have physio exercises to do everyday to lossen the muscles around the damaged area's but every now and then it's nice to find something that just stops the ache altogether, as it's always there in the background nagging away at me.
This gel only takes the ache away for a few minutes and isn't a miracle cure, it freezes the area and then there is no ache for about ten minutes which is great just to feel normal for a few minutes in the day. I use this when I first get up as that's when I'm at my stiffest, I do my exercises and then use the gel and find it helps a lot.
If your looking for some pain relief that works for a few minutes then this is good, it dulls the ache after a few minutes but for about ten minutes there's no pain at all just a cool sensation of bliss.
I'd recommend it to you if like me you get fed up of taking tablets.
The ingredients are :_ Paracetamol and you must be over 16 to be able to buy this from the chemists.
Last week my leg started hurting and I had to go to see my GP as I could hardly walk on it. He said I had inflamed tendons in my groin and it was sending shooting pains down my leg. He told me to put something cold on the groin area to keep the infammation down. I said to him it would be a bit awkward to sit with something cold on the spot where it was hurting so he suggested I get a tube of Deep Freeze cold gel and try that.
The gel comes in a long box and it has a blue picture on the front showing some ice with the name on a darker blue panel. It is quite easy to spot on the shelf in the chemist or where ever you are going to buy it.
The blurb on the box says its cooling, penetrating action goes deep down to reli9eve the aches and pains of overworked muscles, tendons and joints. It should be applied to the affected area and massaged in gently until completely absorbed into the skin.
I found the gel squirted out in a nice sized blob, I used a tissue to squirt it on to as I didn't want to get it on my hands. I then rubbed the gel onto the part of my leg where it was hurting most.
At first it felt quite cold on the skin and it smelled slightly minty with a bit of a medical smell added in. The gel rubbed in easy enough and after a few minutes I could feel a really cold sensation, not just on the part where I had applied the gel but radiating around the area quite a bit. It was not an unpleasant sensation but did sting a little bit. This might have been where the skin is quite soft in that area though.
I have been applying this gel for about 5 days now and the pain is getting better, I don't know if it is the gel that is working or whether it is just getting better but it did give me a bit of relief on the first day I tried it as I was able to walk a bit better that evening.
I also sometimes suffer from pain across the top part of my foot and around my ankle which seems to hurt most when I go to bed )or I am noticing it more then) and does keep me awake for ages sometimes. I have now started to rub a bit of this gel onto my foot before I go to bed and have found it really soothing and it doesn't hurt so much.
The active ingredient in the gel is Racemic Menthol 2% w/w
Other ingredients are Isopropyl alcohol, Carbomer, Triethanolamine (85%), Methyl Hydroxybenzoate E218, Propyl Hydroxybenzoate E216, Patent Blue V E131m Purified Water.
I got my gel on prescription but you can buy it in Boots at £3.59 at the moment.
Copied to Ciao under username Harveydog52
In January this year, I began to suffer from an aching back; this ache began to get painful, and over the course of a few months, it had spread to my neck, hips and ankles. As always, I tried the wonderful NHS - one doctor said it was sciatica even though I didn't really have any pain in my leg, and another suggested it was vertigo and prescribed some pills for sea sickness! Eventually, I sought refuge with the chiropractor who recommended this product for use between sessions.
The Deep Freeze Gel contains menthol which once applied, immediately begins to cool the affected area. It seems a pretty safe product, though some, such as diabetics aren't supposed to use it. It can cause some skin irritation in people, but I haven't experienced this.
You simply squeeze a small amount from the tube, and rub it on the affected area of the body. For me at the moment, it's been my neck and shoulders. The tubes look rather small on first sight, but a little of the gel goes a long way. You simply massage it (or get someone else to) in; after a few seconds, it loses its gel-like quality as it's quickly absorbed into the skin. This is excellent as there's no risk of it getting all over your clothes.
As the label suggests, the gel very quickly causes a cooling sensation wherever you rub it. This becomes more intense once you've stopped massaging it in and lasts about 30-45 minutes. Some people think it numbs the affected area with cold, but that's not really the sensation experience - rather more one of relaxation and release of tension. It does smell quite strong, and if you don't like the smell of menthol, it's probably best avoided - it doesn't bother me at all.
Overall, this seems to me to be a safe and economic way of releasing muscle tension and joint pain. I haven't experienced any side-effects, and the product can be used reasonably economically. I for one would rather rub this on than take painkillers!
I have a back injury that often causes me to be in pain. I do take painkillers, but sometimes they take a while to work or just don't work as well as they should.
I first tried deep heat but found that although it did help to soothe the pain a little, it made me feel very warm (I am quite a warm person who feels the heat alot) so I decided to try deep freeze instead, thinking that it might be more suitable.
The idea deep freeze is to apply it to the affected area and rub in, gradually as it sinks into the skin, it 'freezes' the area and numbs the pain.
You don't need a lot of this, it goes a long way and a tube lasts me a week, even using it 4 times a day for a week. It costs around £4 for a tube, which is quite cheap compared to some, and I think pretty good value.
I apply it to my back mainly when Im out and about and I have to say that it does seem to help a bit. It's very cold when you put it on and you have to make sure you rub it in properly. Straight away you can feel it getting colder and as it drops in temperature, I do notice that my pain subsides a little. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't take the pain away, but it does help.
I like deep freeze and use it most days at some point. Sometimes I don't know how I would manage without it. I would definately recommend this and I also like that it is available in most pharmacies and supermarkets.
Deep Freeze Cold gel is basically a fast acting pain reliever in gel form. Its the alternative to the spray and also is the sister of deep heat spray which is used for the same sort of thing with a different feeling.
After using deep heat by helping me get through muscular pains I have always felt the the smell is not the best, I decided to try deep freeze instead and really have been happy with it (most notably it doesn't smell so bad.
Apply the gel to the area which needs relieving and with 2 minutes the gel starts to take action by cooling the area and releasing the chemicals into the skin and muscle area. Deep Freeze Cold Gel is suitable for the relief of painful lesions of the muscles, tendons and joints. Deep Freeze Cold Gel cools the skin bringing about rapid pain relief and combines the proven principle of cold treatment with the benefit of gentle muscle massage.
You can but this gel from most chemists and shops such as Boots in a 100g tube. It will set you back about about £3 which is very good but prices do vary amongst your retailers.
The active ingredient in Racemic Menthol 2% w/w cools the skin bringing about rapid pain relief.
I have used the gel for many muscular strains from my intense running programmes and find it really does help, advise is to rest aswell though if your pains arent getting any better over time and activity.
the only real problem is that the gel has to be applied by hand ans you need to wash this off, you dont want to rub the gel into the eyes at all.
A must try product.
Deep freeze is a brand of pain relieving gel available from chemists and supermarkets in the United Kingdom and I am unsure if it is on sale in other countries, so leave a comment if it is. Obviously it is available with out a doctor's prescription so you can just walk in and buy some. However like all medicinal products read the leaflet enclosed in case of possible allergies and the like. Amongst the active ingredients are raceic and menthol.
Deep freeze is designed to provide a deep cold sensation when used, as well as pain relief. It is aimed more at treating muscular sprains and pain. The cold sensation is easy to use and more bearable then using an icepack, and the information says one application will continue to cool the area for up to an hour. Compare this with the 10 minutes an icepack is said to have a cooling effect after you remove it.
I had bought this product some time ago and had fortunately not needed it until now. Luckily for me it was in my sports bag when I suffered a bad sprain in my right knee. With no ice pack anywhere near this is the next best thing or indeed in my opinion better. It both effectively cools the injured area and relieves the pain as is far more convenient to have around then an ice pack. There is also the added benefit from massaging the injury to apply the gel. The only draw back I can see is that it would not be practical to use on areas such as the face if you are involved in a contact sport.
It is available in many chemists and supermarkets as well as online. It is far easy to carry around then an icepack and is convenient in case of unexpected mishaps (which let face it they all are). I bought mine in Boots the chemist a 100-gram tube for about £3.50; there is also a smaller 35-gram tube on sale.

Extra Low Interstitials
A new ASTM International standard covers a popular material used to make parts for the aerospace and medical components industries using additive manufacturing. The new standard, F3001, Specification for Additive Manufacturing Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) with Powder Bed Fusion, was developed by Subcommittee F42.05 on Materials and Processes, part of ASTM Committee F42 on Additive Manufacturing Technologies.
According to Nik Hrabe, materials engineer, Medical Modeling Inc., and an F42 member, prior to the development of F3001, no other standard presented guidelines for the acceptable production of additively manufactured AM Ti-6AL-4V ELI. Now, producers and customers will be able to use F3001 to agree on acceptable requirements for this material.
"Producers and users of AM Ti-6AL-4V-ELI will be the primary users of F3001, but regulatory bodies might also use the standard for minimum requirements for the material," says Hrabe. "Laboratories might also use the standard to certify the material."
All interested parties are invited to join F42 in its standards developing activities. "F42 is active in all aspects of additive manufacturing and anyone interested in this field is encouraged to join the committee and contribute to the formulation of new standards to further this technology," says Hrabe.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa encouraged fans to give Matt Holliday a warm reception when he returned to St. Louis, figuring the left fielder could use a pick-me-up after his gaffe in Game 2.
No problem.
The crowd at Busch Stadium on Saturday night let out a loud cheer for Holliday during introductions, then gave an extra-loud, extra-long cheer when he settled under Andre Ethier 's slicing fly ball down the line in left in the first inning. The fans also rose to their feet when he came up with two on and one out in the bottom half, and were still clapping even after he grounded out weakly to the pitcher.
Holliday made a costly error in Game 2, misjudging a fly ball with two outs in the ninth inning that set up the tying and winning runs for the Dodgers.
PHILLIES: Left-hander Jamie Moyer is recovering at a Philadelphia hospital from a blood infection.
Moyer's wife, Karen , said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Saturday that her 46-year-old husband is fine now after an infection following abdominal surgery.
Moyer was expected to stay another night at the hospital.
TWINS: Put third baseman Matt Tolbert on the disabled list with a strained a left oblique muscle.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said on Saturday that Tolbert was injured on a check swing during a second-inning at-bat of Game 2 of the American League division series against the New York Yankees.
Tolbert remained in the game Friday night and hit what should have been an RBI single with two outs in the fourth inning, but baserunner Carlos Gomez was tagged out before Delmon Young could score.
Brendan Harris , who will start at third base in Game 3, pinch hit for Tolbert in the sixth inning.
Gardenhire said Tolbert will be replaced on the roster by Brian Buscher .
Buscher hit .235 with two home runs and 12 RBI.
COURTS: The trial of Richard Toohey, who is charged with driving drunk and killing Los Angeles pitcher Nick Adenhart, has been delayed for six months at the request of his new defense attorney.

DEFINITION of 'Market Neutral Fund'
An aggressive type of mutual fund that aims to deliver superior returns by balancing bullish stock picks with bearish ones. They can also generate income from the interest proceeds of the sales of short securities. The objective of these funds is to generate consistent returns that are at least three to six percent above the T-bill rate. These funds can also offer returns similar to leveraged ETFs which aim to deliver 200-300% returns on any given investment.
BREAKING DOWN 'Market Neutral Fund'
Market neutral funds are fairly complex products. They are also probably not appropriate for novice or conservative investors. These funds endeavor to offer a type of investing strategy that has been found chiefly in hedge funds and separately managed accounts. Market neutral funds tend to have fairly high fees as well as turnover, and investors should consider both these issues before investing.

Irony chef
These days, pundits speak of the "optics" of a concept. This one, I dare say, is blind as a vampire bat:
An animal-welfare organization is trying to capitalize on the notoriety of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's childhood home by suggesting it might turn the house into a vegan restaurant.
Ingrid E. Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, sent a letter dated Friday to the realty agent who has listed the Bath Township house for sale. In the letter, she asked about the listing and proposed making the house a vegan restaurant "to respond to the past with something positive."
Local officials were not encouraging, pointing out that the property is zoned single-family residential.

Russian Soul can do double in Listed Abergwaun Stakes
MICK HALFORD'S Russian Soul is fancied to become the third back-to-back winner of the Listed Abergwaun Stakes since 2008 at Tipperary tonight.
Senor Benny and Inxile have done the double in the Kilfrush Stud-sponsored five-furlong contest recently, while Halford also won the race with Invincible Ash in 2010.
This evening's nine-runner edition is competitive, with Tim Pitt's Rockingham hero Sir Maximilian joined from across the water by Johnny Butler's Tom Queally-ridden One Chance.
Jamesie, whose characteristically frustrating fast-finishing Fairyhouse defeat a month ago was Fergal Lynch's latest ride for David Marnane, will be reunited with Colm O'Donoghue for the first time since 2012.
O'Donoghue is the only rider apart from Lynch to win – three times – on the enigmatic six-year-old, so it will be interesting to see how the duo manage.
Jamesie came from the rear to be denied less than a length by Darwin and Russian Soul at Fairyhouse. Had he held a more prominent position he might well have won, but he is a horse that has an unsavoury habit of giving that impression.
Dropping back to five furlongs may not suit Jamesie now, and it is worth noting that Russian Soul didn't get a clear run when he was trying to challenge Darwin in the straight at Fairyhouse.
Granted, like Jamesie he is also more prolific over further, but he was a fine third in a Curragh Group Three over this distance following his game triumph here 12 months ago.
That was the last time that Russian Soul ran over the trip and he has continued to ply his trade at a decent level since, so he appeals as nap material on what is a tricky card.
In the Coolmore Canford Cliffs Stakes for two-year-olds, Aidan O'Brien's Curragh debut winner East India is sure to be a big player, but preference is for Dermot Weld's Tombelaine in the seven-furlong contest.
A fine second to O'Brien's Gleneagles in a Leopardstown Group Three when Ger Lyons' re-opposing Convergence was also a close third, Pat Smullen's mount looks the most exciting prospect on duty here at this stage.
Eddie Lynam's progressive Rockingham fourth Lady Mega could claim the Connolly's Red Mills Handicap for Robbie Downey, while Lily The Lioness ought to take plenty of beating in the lady riders' race under Katie O'Farrell.
Garrett Power's mare has been in excellent heart over jumps, and was beaten only by the smooth Galway winner Ridestan when last seen on the Flat at Killarney in July.
Irish Independent


text:
The Bowl doesn't break very often but when it does it's an exceptional ride, holding almost any swell size and bending around the reef with a heavy bowl section, similar to Hawaii's Ala Moana. Needs straight S for length of ride on the left and is rideable at low tide if you are overly keen.
Experts only and much safer at higher tides. Take-off is next to the outside peak of Lighthouse.

wikiHow to Make Fabric Kanzashi Flowers
In this tutorial you'll learn how to make this beautiful Kanzashi fabric flower. It can be attached to a purse, a shirt, a barrette or any other fashion accessory of your choice.
1Assemble the items needed. These are listed below under "Things You'll Need".
2Note that this tutorial uses 3.5" (8.8cm) squares. However, you can use larger or smaller squares to make different sizes of flowers, depending on the end use you're looking for. Note that the larger size is easier for the beginner to work with and learn from. The breakdown is basically: one petal for each square and a flower can be 5, 6, 7 or 8 petals. So, if you have 1 yard (0.9 m) 44-45" (91.44cm) fabric and cut to 3" (7.6cm) squares, you can make 24 flowers.
3Fold the square in half diagonally. Keep the right side of the fabric out. Press the fold seam with your finger or an iron.
4Fold the right hand corner up to meet the top corner. Press the fold with finger.
5Do the same fold with the left hand corner. Press the fold with your fingers.
6Fold the left corner back to meet the center. Press the fold with your fingers.
7Repeat with the right corner. Press the fold with your fingers.
8Check the back. Here you can see the back view. The two corners should meet the center but not overlap.
9Starting the position achieved in step 7, fold the whole piece in half, toward you, with 2 corners inside the fold. This is the back side of the petal.
10Flip the petal over. This is what the front side looks like.
11Use an alligator clip to hold the petal in shape until you're ready to assemble it.
12Repeat steps 2-10 to finish all of the petals.
13Trim the base (raw edges) as shown in this set of images.
14Sew the petals together. Follow the images for instruction.
15Don't pull the thread tight yet. Arrange the petals in circle.
16Check the back side of the flower, which should look like this. Sew the petals together as shown.
17Pull the thread tight.
18Flip the accessory over. This is the front side.
19Close to the center, sew all of the petals.
20Open the top of the petal. Spray with fabric stiffener if you like.
21Sew or glue the fabric covered button.
22Consider some alternatives:
- Glue a large rhinestone on top.
- Make five petal flowers.
- Use grosgrain ribbon instead of fabric. Here is the kanzashi butterfly made of 2.25" grosgrain ribbon:
Community Q&A
Where can I get the material to make these?You can use a variety of material, such as vinyl, leather or just fabric in general. Check at your local thrift, fabric or craft store.

Source: DuPont news release
DuPont announced today that its Advisory Committee on Agricultural Innovation and Productivity for the 21st Century has added two new members, Jason Clay and Dr. Ruth K. Oniang'o. Together, they bring expertise in nutrition, sustainable agriculture and addressing food security challenges in Africa, helping to expand the scope of the committee's work.
In 2010 DuPont formed this influential committee of experts in global agriculture, development, policy and economics in response to the global food and nutrition security challenge. The committee has explored complex issues regarding meeting global food demand to provide recommendations on several potential solutions, including how DuPont can play a unique and catalytic role in addressing the challenge. In June 2011 the committee released its first report and set of recommendations.
"Adding Jason and Ruth will help our committee continue to do great work in addressing the challenges of global food security," said DuPont Executive Vice President James C. Borel. "We are evolving how we think about food and nutrition security and expanding the makeup of the committee will allow us to add new ideas and focus our efforts.
Clay, senior vice president at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), works with corporations to transform the global markets in which they operate to produce more with less land, less water and less impact. Clay's ideas are changing the way governments, foundations, researchers and NGOs identify and address risks and opportunities for their work.
Clay ran a family farm, taught at Harvard and Yale, worked at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and spent more than 25 years working with human rights and environmental organizations before joining WWF in 1999.
Oniang'o, Ph.D., is the founder and executive director of Rural Outreach Africa, a non-profit development organization that empowers women through agriculture and entrepreneurial projects. Oniang'o was a nominated member of Kenya's ninth parliament from 2003-2007 and served as Shadow Minister for Education.
Before becoming a member of the Kenyan Parliament, she was professor of food science and nutrition at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture & Technology in Nairobi, Kenya and is currently an adjunct professor of Nutrition at Tufts University in Boston. Her areas of research and consultation are household food and nutrition security, women's nutrition, child health, and community-level agro-processing and related enterprises.
Dr. Oniang'o also is founder and editor-in-chief of the African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development.
Other DuPont Food Security Advisory Committee Members:
� Tom Daschle chairs the committee and is a senior policy advisor at DLA Piper, LLP (U.S.). He is a former U.S. Senator, representing South Dakota, and former Senate Majority and Minority Leader.
� Charlotte Hebebrand serves as director general of the International Fertilizer Industry Association.
� Jo Luck is a 2010 World Food Prize Laureate and former president of Heifer International, a premier hunger-fighting, non-profit organization.
� J.B. Penn is the chief economist of John Deere & Co. He served as undersecretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services at the U.S. Department of Agriculture from 2001-06.
� Pedro Sanchez is a 2002 World Food Prize Laureate and serves as director of Tropical Agriculture at Columbia University's Earth Institute.

January 10, 2008
Germany, like much of Europe, is struggling to integrate its immigrants, especially Muslims, who constitute roughly 25 percent of the immigrant population, says the Wall Street Journal.
One of the main reasons foreigners find themselves more often in trouble is to a large extent the result of misguided welfare policies, explains the Journal:
- Germany's strict labor rules protect "insiders" -- that is, those who already have jobs.
- Generous unemployment benefits for "outsiders" have fostered a dependency culture particularly entrenched among foreigners.
- More than 40 percent of foreigners have no occupational training.
- The unemployment rate among non-citizens in Germany is, at 18.6 percent; twice as high as the national average.
Yet many still advocate policies that would make it even harder for unskilled immigrants to find jobs, says the Journal:
- Many Social Democrats favor a nationwide minimum wage, which currently applies only in some sectors.
- A recently adopted €9.80 ($14.40) minimum wage for postal workers has already led to massive layoffs in the private mail delivery sector.
- Setting similar standards across the country would make getting out of the welfare trap all the more difficult.
At the same time, Germans have long deluded themselves that the Gastarbeiter, or guest workers, would one day return to their homelands -- including German-born second and third generations of "foreigners," says the Journal. But what reality is needed is education. Immigrant parents need to examine why so many of their sons turn bad. In addition, government policies must do their part to facilitate integration. It won't be the worst outcome of the current debate about foreign criminals if Berlin recognizes that social mobility and the end of rampant welfarism, is key to successful integration.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! Diesel engines are a stalwart of the heavy-duty pickup truck segment. But the light-duty segment? Not so much. In fact, the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is the only diesel light-duty truck sold in the United States.Responding to what Ram chief engineer Mike Cairnes describes as big demand, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel uses the same 3.0-liter, turbocharged V-6 diesel engine and eight-speed TorqueFlite transmission found as optional equipment in the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The engine was designed by the Italian firm VM Motori and produces the same power in the Ram as it does the Jeep: 240 hp at 3600 rpm and 420 lb-ft at just 2000 rpm. Ram is quick to remind us that's more torque than the original heavy-duty Cummins diesel Ram produced in the late 1980s. Compared to the standard Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 engine, the EcoDiesel is down 65 hp but up 151 lb-ft, and while even further down on horsepower to the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, the EcoDiesel even beats that brutish engine's torque rating by 10 lb-ft. Furthermore, the Pentastar and Hemi both require roughly 4000 rpm to hit their torque peak — more than double the engine speed needed in the EcoDiesel. From behind the wheel, the Ram's EcoDiesel engine feels just as good as it does in the Jeep. With so much low-end torque, grunt is delivered with immediacy and the engine runs smoothly to its 4800-rpm redline. The ZF-designed eight-speed is at least as good as the engine, delivering silky smooth shifts and hustling through its ratios without delay. The Jaguar-esque rotary gear selector operates easily and, frankly, looks pretty cool. There's a little diesel clatter noticeable at idle (peculiarly more so than in the Jeep – an intentional move by Ram?) but not enough to be particularly noticeable inside the cab with the windows up.So the Ram EcoDiesel is nice to drive, but exactly where does it fit in the lineup? Why should you buy one over a Pentastar- or Hemi-equipped 1500? A huge reason is efficiency. Ram officials say that while EPA numbers are still being finalized, they are certain the truck will deliver best-in-class fuel economy, soundly beating the Pentastar-equipped Ram's 25 mpg highway figure (along with the Hemi Ram's 22-mpg highway rating). The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel achieves 28 highway mpg, and we're guessing that's about where the Ram will end up.Of course, there are fewer specifications more important to truck buyers than the tow rating, and that's where the EcoDiesel is a mixed bag. While the EcoDiesel's 9200-pound max towing capacity outperforms the Pentastar's 7450-pound rating, it doesn't quite touch the 5.7-liter Hemi's 10,450-pound rating. With the EcoDiesel's price differential $2850 more than a comparably equipped Hemi-powered Ram, that just might be a deal-breaker for some potential buyers. Still, Ram claims the EcoDiesel's increase in fuel efficiency could pay for its price difference within three years with average use. And because of its strong low end, Ram expects the difference in fuel efficiency to be even greater when towing.The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is available in nearly every trim package, from the entry-level Tradesman version through the luxurious Laramie Limited trim, replete with a leather-wrapped everything and enough chrome to blind someone who's already blind. We're told the Ram EcoDiesel should be hitting dealers as you're reading this, at a base price of $30,180. 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel BASE PRICE $30,180 VEHICLE LAYOUT Front-engine, RWD/4WD),3-5-pass, 2-4-door truck ENGINE 3.0L/240-hp/420-lb-ft turbodiesel DOHC 24-valve V-6 TRANSMISSION 8-speed automatic CURB WEIGHT 4500-5250 lb (mfr) WHEELBASE 120.5-149.5 in LENGTH X WIDTH X HEIGHT 209.0-237.9 x 79.4 x 74.4-79.6 in 0-60 MPH 7.0-8.0 sec (MT est) EPA CITY/HWY FUEL ECON 20 / 27 mpg (est) ENERGY CONSUMPTION, CITY/HWY 169 / 125 kW-hrs/100 miles (est) CO2 EMISSIONS 0.98 lb/mile (est) ON SALE IN U.S. Currently Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel First Drive /31 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 31 2 | 31 3 | 31 4 | 31 5 | 31 6 | 31 7 | 31 8 | 31 9 | 31 10 | 31 11 | 31 12 | 31 13 | 31 14 | 31 15 | 31 16 | 31 17 | 31 18 | 31 19 | 31 20 | 31 21 | 31 22 | 31 23 | 31 24 | 31 25 | 31 26 | 31 27 | 31 28 | 31 29 | 31 30 | 31 31 | 31

More than four in ten working women in South Holland and The Deepings are getting a raw deal on pay and take home less than the "living wage".
For women's pay, South Holland and The Deepings is the second worst blackspot in the East Midlands with 42.9 of women taking home less than the living wage – beaten only by mid Derbyshire on 46.5 per cent.
The living wage is £7.65 an hour for places outside London and is based on meeting the basic needs of workers – while the Government's minimum wage, the lowest figure that employers can legally pay is less still at £6.31.
The poorly paid women in South Holland and The Deepings are among five million people in the UK who get less than the living wage.
The figures come from the House of Commons Library and have been highlighted by the TUC (Trades Union Congress) as part of its Fair Pay Fortnight.
Midlands TUC regional secretary Rob Johnston said: "Extending the living wage is a vital way of tackling the growing problem of in-work poverty across the East Midlands and Britain as a whole.
"Working families are experiencing the biggest pressure on their living standards since Victorian times.
"Pay has been squeezed at all levels below the boardroom and it's costing our economy dear.
"The number of living wage employers is growing rapidly and unions are playing their part in encouraging more employers to sign up and pay it – but Government must show equal initiative."
Mr Johnston said workers should ask all MPs to put "decent pay" at the top of their agendas in the run-up to the election.
l The minimum wage will rise by 19p to £6.50 an hour in October, benefiting a million workers.

An NFL team changing its name because it was forced to do so? Seems impossible, because as we learned earlier today, the NFL rules everything. But this controversy with the Washington Redskins name just doesn't seem to be going away, no matter how hard that Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen try and wish it into the cornfield.
And now they may have lost a key, staunch supporter. Commish Roger Goodell, who just three months ago had come down firmly in support of keeping the name, seems to have done a sudden Frank Pentangeli u-turn on the issue.
What caused the change heart? A horse head in his bed? The answer is shrouded in mystery. What we do know is that Goodell is appearing to crack, and if he goes, that could bring down the whole dam. Huffington Post:
"If we are offending one person, we need to be listening and making sure that we're doing the right things to try to address that," Goodell said during an interview with LaVar Arrington and Chad Dukes on 106.7 The Fan in Washington on Wednesday.
Dukes raised the polarizing subject of the Redskins' name with Goodell, asking if the power to alter it rested solely with team owner Daniel Snyder, who has previously insisted that he will "never" agree to a change.
"Well, as you guys know, I grew up in Washington. So, the Colts were my team early on, and then I became a Redskins fan," Goodell responded. "I know the team name is part of their history and tradition — and that's something that's important to the Redskins' fans — and I think what we have to do though is we have to listen. If one person's offended, we have to listen. And, ultimately, it is Dan's decision. But it is something that I want all of us to go out and make sure we're listening to our fans, listening to people who have a different view, and making sure that we continue to do what's right to make sure that team represents the strong tradition and history that it has for so many years."
Goodell had defended the Redskins name as recently as this past May, when he wrote a letter to Congress which included:
"For the team's millions of fans and customers, who represent one of America's most ethnically and geographically diverse fan bases, the name is a unifying force that stands for strength, courage, pride and respect."
That's some bullshit, of course, at which Goodell excels. In fact, the franchise has a pretty poor record in diversity and unification, being as it is the last NFL team to sign a black player.
It wasn't until 1962 that team owner George Preston Marshall signed an African-American player — Heisman-winning running back Ernie Davis — and then only because he was forced to do so. The federal government had to in effect step in to integrate the Redskins, as Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall told Marshall that the team would be kicked out of its stadium if they didn't do so. (D.C. Stadium was a federal government property).
History may somewhat be repeating itself.
In August, Slate announced that it will no longer refer to the team as the Redskins. And this past July, Redskins icons Art Monk and Darrell Green came out in favor of changing the name.
It's estimated that a name change would cost the NFL $20 million in rebranding, so don't look for anything to happen soon — especially in light of the fact that the league just shelled out more than $700 million in that concussion settlement.
But the glacier is beginning to move. Probably should start thinking of a new name now and beat the rush.
We've already got "Redtails" (thanks, Washington D.C. councilmember David Grosso — we'll get back to you). The "Whiteskins"? That's more like it.

"trying to figure out how to bring Mirror's Edge back."
EA Games label president Frank Gibeau told CVG that the Mirror's Edge franchise is unequivocally not dead. "I greenlight the games. I did not kill it -- as God is my witness," he swore. According to Gibeau, the publisher is looking for ways to bring back the franchise in "a way that fans will be excited," while still reaching a larger audience. "We need to go from version one to version two so that it sells two to three times as many, it finds a much bigger audience."
DICE, developer of the first game, is currently working on Battlefield 3. According to earlier reports, EA requested that the developer focus exclusively on that game, instead of a Mirror's Edge sequel. A EA spokesperson later commented that Mirror's Edge is an "important franchise," but there was "nothing further to announce."

Potato Salad with Toasted Caraway Seeds
No need for mayonnaise with this tangy Dijon-caraway dressing.
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
- 2 pounds small red potatoes
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1/3 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion
- Dressing:
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, (5% acidity)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon each salt and fresh ground pepper
- Place caraway seeds in a small skillet. Toast over medium-high heat until they start to pop; remove from heat.
- Rinse potatoes. Place in a 6-quart pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle boil; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally for even cooking. Cook time depend on size of potatoes. Test with a sharp paring knife: potatoes are cooked sufficiently when knife pulls out rather easily. Drain and rinse potatoes in cold water several times. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut into halves or quarters depending on size. Place in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle potatoes with caraway seeds, celery, parsley and onion, folding in with a rubber spatula.
- Whisk together dressing ingredients until salt is dissolved; stir into potatoes.


text: Looking for elegant and tasty private room in restaurant or club for about 50 people to celebrate 60th birthday. Want a cheerful space with more than good food. Could be dinner or Sunday brunch. Do not want anything outrageously expensive. Thought of 21 club, but too expensive. Thought of Dylan's candy restaurant (they never got back to me). Thought of JoJo. They really can not have that many people. Any thoughts on places you have gone for such a memorable birthday event? Thanks.

G and I took a little road trip yesterday to meet my cousin and her girls at the mall. We chose that spot because of it's various play spaces and it ended up being a smart move. As we were on our way to lunch, there was no avoiding passing the carousel and so, the promise was made that we would go for a ride after our meal. And, ride we did. G liked it for the first few spins and then, well, nosomuch (excuse the p&s pic + flash). I got dizzy and a bit green and I suspect he felt the same. So much for spinny rides!

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- If it's not one Meek for No. 2 Tennessee, it's another.
With Tamika Catchings having trouble finding the basket Saturday, Semeka Randall scored 21 of her 23 points in the second half, and the Lady Vols downed 24th-ranked Alabama 80-69 in the Southeastern Conference tournament semifinals.
Coach Pat Summitt had talked to Randall throughout the first half about her apparent lack of emotion. At halftime, Summitt surprised Randall by saying little to her.
''So it just motivated me to come out in the second half and really play hard,'' Randall said.
Tennessee (27-2) will play either No. 14 Georgia or Kentucky in Sunday's tournament championship, its 13th overall appearance in the league title game and eighth this decade.
If the Lady Vols have learned anything from winning three national championships the last three years, it's that they are only as good as their next game.
''You win a game, that doesn't mean you've arrived,'' Summitt said. ''Now what you have to do is put it together for the next night.''
It looked like it would be a flashback to last year's SEC title game, when the Crimson Tide (19-10) gave Tennessee its biggest scare to that point of an undefeated season, before losing 67-63.
On Saturday, the teams swapped the lead 11 times with nine ties before Randall took over for Tennessee.
Catchings was struggling and missed six of her first seven shots a day after scoring a career-high 38 points.
Tennessee's original Meek -- Chamique Holdsclaw -- scored 22 points to become the SEC's leading scorer with a career 2,909 points, passing LSU's Joyce Walker (2,906).
But it was Randall who grabbed a missed shot by Holdsclaw and laid it in to put the Lady Vols ahead for good at 42-41 with 13:46 left. That started a 12-2 spurt in which Randall scored 10.
Tennessee, which was only 1-of-3 from the line in the first half, sealed the victory there. The Lady Vols hit 11 straight at one point and finished the game 18-of-25.
Catchings finished with 12, and Michelle Snow had 10.
Tennessee, the nation's best shooting team, had trouble finding the basket in the first half.
But Alabama didn't take much advantage of the Lady Vols' problems and never led by more than four. The Crimson Tide took a 31-29 lead into halftime when Snow was called for blocking Dominique Canty just before the buzzer, and Canty hit the two free throws.
Canty led Alabama with 22 points, and Kaunda Williams added 13, Shondra Johnson 11 and LaToya Caudle 10.
Alabama now has lost 21 straight to the Lady Vols, dating back to the 1984 SEC tournament. Coach Rick Moody downplayed that statistic and pointed to the fact that his Crimson Tide was playing its third game in three days.
He also lost forward Joni Crenshaw to a torn ACL with 13:34 remaining. She left with six points in 14 minutes of play.
''She was having a great game,'' Moody said. ''It definitely had an impact on the game.''

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The Georgia men's basketball team was able to take at least one positive out of Saturday's hard-fought 70-66 overtime loss to lowly South Carolina.
''Now that the (regular) season is over with, it's a new season,'' senior Michael Chadwick said. ''Everything starts over now.''
Georgia will play Western Division fifth seed Alabama on Thursday at 1 p.m. in the first round of the SEC Tournament in the Georgia Dome. To reach their preseason goal of making the NCAA Tournament, the Bulldogs will have to win four games in four days and the SEC title in Atlanta, hence all this talk of a new season.
''Nobody's looking at the records (now),'' Jumaine Jones said. ''We feel like it's a whole new season going into the SEC Tournament.''
At least this one's over.
Georgia lost its 10th game in 14 tries Saturday and finishes the regular season 15-13 overall and 6-10 in the SEC, one game worse than last year's conference record. Conference doormat South Carolina (8-20, 3-13) had lost seven straight coming into Saturday's game and had been beaten by at least 14 in six of those seven.
The Bulldogs, who are now 0-4 in overtime this season, made a couple of valiant runs but never led after the 10:07 mark in the first half. Georgia fell behind by eight with 4:11 left in the second half but forced overtime thanks to the play of Chadwick and fellow senior Ray Harrison.
Harrison drew two charges on All-America candidate BJ McKie in the final five minutes of regulation and finished with a season-high 20 points. Despite not starting Saturday he played his most minutes since November, including all but three of the final 25.
''We played (Harrison) down the stretch because we needed his quickness on BJ McKie,'' Georgia coach Ron Jirsa said.
Chadwick had seven points in the final 3:38 of regulation and dished out the assist that allowed Jon Nordin to tie the game at 59-59 on a layup with 10 seconds left. Harrison then drew a charge on McKie, allowing Georgia a last gasp play with two seconds left in regulation. Nordin threw a pass the length of the court that hit Jones in the hands but slipped through and out of bounds.
''I should have caught it,'' said Jones, who finished with 19 points and 16 rebounds. ''It was a good pass by Jon.''
South Carolina immediately took a three-point lead in overtime when Bud Johnson scored inside despite being fouled and hit his foul shot. The Bulldogs got within one on a 3-pointer by Jones with 1:45 left in overtime but never scored again.
''It was apparent in overtime they went right at us inside,'' Jirsa said. ''It's difficult in overtime when you get behind.''
Five of the last seven Georgia-South Carolina games in Columbia have been decided by four or fewer points.
The Bulldogs shot just 35.7 percent from the floor and D.A. Layne did his part on that front. The freshman, who is seventh in the league in scoring in conference games, went as cold as he had been hot, shooting 1 of 11 from the 3-point line and 4 of 18 overall.
''I didn't think we got good shots,'' Jirsa said. ''(Layne) is going to be the focal point for defenses now and he has to give extra effort, move without the ball.''
Still the freshman played a career high 42 points because Jirsa couldn't afford to take his second biggest scoring threat off the court.
''We feel like he's going to (start hitting them),'' Jirsa said. ''This is the first game he wasn't shooting well and it's the last game so there's no reason not to (leave him in).''
Georgia senior G.G. Smith started the game but played only four minutes after halftime.
South Carolina's McKie, a senior playing his last game in front of 7,411 at Frank McGuire Arena, led the Gamecocks with 22 points and hit five free throws in overtime. The 6-2 guard will finish his career as South Carolina's leading career scorer and the only Gamecock ever to score more than 2,000 points in a career.
