By Juan de la Cruz
Felix López-Santos's early memories of his native Puerto Rico include watching everything float away from his front porch during the big San Felipe storm of 1928. After his Barrio Ceiba was washed away, his family moved to another town, San Lorenzo, where his mother became ill.
Moving to Connecticut seven years later was difficult for López--Santos, but he adapted to the new environment fairly quickly. He attended a predominantly Anglo school and learned English in his classes, where he was the only Latino student.
He was fond of President Roosevelt and vividly remembers the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. One year after the attack by the Japanese, López--Santos was drafted into the Army and was sent to Fort Dix in New Jersey for training. After a few weeks, he was sent to Camp Davis in North Carolina for more basic training. There, he says he witnessed some forms of racial discrimination, but never experienced it himself.
"I remember seeing some colored people refused service at a restaurant," López--Santos said.
He says he wasn't discriminated against because of his blue eyes and fair complexion.
Traveling across the nation by train, López--Santos arrived at Camp Stoneman near San Francisco to await his voyage to Australia. He and about 3,000 soldiers boarded the USS Grant, heading to a small town off the northeastern coast of Australia called Townsville.
"During this journey we were attacked by an enemy submarine that in turn was sunk by a small destroyer that was escorting us," López--Santos said.
López--Santos' first "combat" experience was an unusual incident that occurred in Australia.
"[A kangaroo] came running, and it seems that he crashed on me, or kicked me and knocked me down!" said López--Santos, smiling. "That was my first incident [overseas]."
In 1944 López--Santos went to Milne Bay and then to the small island of Woodlark, both in New Guinea, where he was in the communications department using telephone wires to contact the troop. He and many others came down with a common ailment known as jungle fever. López--Santos had to take two pills of Atabrin, which gave him a case of jaundice, he said. He also remembers taking six salt tablets daily to prevent dehydration because of the high temperatures in the jungle.
During his stay on the island, López--Santos and his fellow soldiers built a boat for fishing.
"We used dynamite to throw at the school of fish in the water because there were thousands of them, and then we'd take them on the boat," López--Santos said.
His fellow soldiers would frighten off sharks with their rifles, or sometimes grenades, if it were necessary.
"Those fish were delicious," said López--Santos, remembering the taste.
On a trip aboard a Landing Ship Tank heading toward Luzon, Philippines, in the Lingayen Gulf, López-Santos and his troop were close to being hit by a suicide bomber that exploded near their ship. Bombing began on both sides of the LST at 4 a.m., and his ship arrived three hours later on the island of Luzon. He remembers seeing a little girl crying because her family was dead.
"People in the United States and here in Puerto Rico don't know what a war is," said López-Santos of the difficult moments he had during his service. "[People] just don't know what it involves."
He says he remembers the horrible smell of dead, rotten bodies on the seaside after an invasion.
"[It] was a stench of death," López-Santos said.
López-Santos' sister thought he was dead because he rarely wrote home. And when he did write, his letters were censored to be sure not to reveal his location.
"I wanted to write nice things about the small island and describe this place, but everything was cut short and censored," he said.
Through word of mouth, he and his fellow soldiers found out about the atomic bombs that hit the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945.
"There weren't any newspapers or other media outlets to find about what was happening around us," López-Santos said.
He says he always had to depend on fellow soldiers to find out what was going on. One time, he found out a sniper had killed one of his best friends. He still has his military ID tags.
When the war was over in 1945, López-Santos returned by ship to Brooklyn, N.Y., after almost three years on the Pacific Ocean. There, he met his wife, fellow Puerto Rican Emerita Negrón, who was visiting an aunt of hers who happened to be a good friend of his sister. They married a year and three months later and went on to have three daughters, all of whom were born in Brooklyn.
After 56 years of marriage, Emerita still remembers how she felt the first time she met López-Santos in New York.
"I got really nervous," she said, smiling.
López-Santos returned with his family to Puerto Rico in 1954.
Mr. Santos was interviewed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on December 20, 2002, by Doralis Perez-Soto.

A very dry (not surprisingly) ripping sound. I tear beef jerky very close to two condenser mics. These were recorded for an experiment that is supposed to make apparent the noise inherent in mics and preamps. You can hear the difference in noise levels from the mics, as is one channel the noise is clearly louder.
I know what else is yummy ;)

Sounds yummy.
I know that sounds weird, but I like jerky.

(Reuters) - U.S. regulators are set to drop a four-year investigation into the possible manipulation of the silver market after failing to find enough evidence to support a legal case, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing three people familiar with the situation.Read the rest here.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission first announced that it was investigating "complaints of misconduct in the silver market" in September 2008 after a group of precious metals investors alleged manipulation, the FT reported.
It said that while the CFTC has not yet formally determined the outcome of the investigation, leaving the possibility that staff could be instructed to dig deeper, the agency does not currently have sufficient evidence to bring a case.

US to drop silver manipulation case
1 comment:
If it has been dropped it is because the chief manipulator is the US government and its agencies. Not that other governments, including the idiots who run this country (UK) aren't also involved. The FT is a friend of the government/big business nexus.

WASHINGTON CAPITALS (1st seed, East)
2010 PLAYOFFS: Lost to Montreal 4-3 in conference quarterfinals
(Sports Network) - After failing to live up to lofty postseason expectations for three straight years, the Washington Capitals and head coach Bruce Boudreau decided some things had to change.
In previous years the Capitals only went as far as their high-powered offense would take them, but Boudreau hopes a newfound dedication to responsible defensive play will serve his club well this time around.
Last season, the Capitals amassed a franchise-record 121 points en route to winning the Presidents' Trophy for the first time in club history. That team was driven primarily by offense, as Washington led the NHL in goals scored, while finishing 16th in goals allowed.
This year, Washington made a late run to take the top seed in the East and the Caps did so with a vastly improved defense. The Capitals finished fourth in the NHL with 191 goals allowed this year compared to the 227 scores they let up in 2009-10.
Boudreau did have to sacrifice a great deal of offense to get his club playing the right way in its own end of the rink. Washington was 19th in the NHL with 219 goals -- nearly 100 tallies less than the Caps had when they led the league with 313 scores a year ago.
The new strategy resulted in down statistical years for Washington's top offensive performers, including Alex Ovechkin. But, after losing in the first round of the playoffs for the second time in three years last spring, Ovie and his teammates were willing to accept a dip in personal stats in order to become a better team.
"Things haven't worked out like we'd have liked it to the last two or three years," said Boudreau of his club's recent playoff performances. "But we're ready and they want to play. It should be a good series."
Ovechkin was still Washington's best offensive player this season despite posting career-lows in goals (32) and points (85). The 25-year-old had recorded at least 50 goals and 100 points in each of his previous three campaign.
With 40 points (20 goals, 20 assists) in 28 career playoff games, scoring in the postseason has not been a problem for Ovechkin, but Washington's captain has been criticized for disappearing at crunch time in the past. He needs to come through in the big spots this year if his team is going to make a deep run to the postseason.
To help alleviate the pressure placed on Ovechkin this time of year, the Capitals are also going to need increased scoring from the likes of Nicklas Backstrom and Alexander Semin. Backstrom had a career-low 65 points (18g, 47a) this year and Semin dropped from 40 goals and 84 points in 2009-10 to 28 markers and 54 points this season.
Semin enters this postseason having gone without a goal in 14 straight playoff contests. Last year, he had just two assists when top-seeded Washington bowed out in seven games to the eighth-seeded Montreal Canadiens. Semin did have possibly the best postseason series of his career against the Rangers in 2009, logging five goals and three assists in seven games during an opening-round series win over New York.
The always reliable Mike Knuble notched 20 goals or more for the eighth straight season this year, posting 24 goals. However, the 38-year-old Knuble had just one game-winning goal this year after recording 11 GWGs over the previous two seasons.
The addition of veteran centerman Jason Arnott at the trade deadline could pay dividends in this year's postseason. Arnott, who had four goals and three assists in 11 games with the Caps after coming over from New Jersey, has played in 106 career playoff tests and won a Stanley Cup with the Devils in 2000.
With the help of two impressive youngsters, Washington's defensive corps appears to be much improved, but the health of top offensive blueliner Mike Green is a concern.
Green is expected to be available for the start of this series despite sitting out the last 20 games of the regular season with a concussion. Green was much maligned in last year's postseason for his lapses at the defensive end of the ice, but his ability to score from the blue line is essential to Washington's success.
The development of young blueliners John Carlson and Karl Alzner is a great sign for the Caps. At just 21 years of age, Carlson posted seven goals, 30 assists and a plus-21 rating while playing in all 82 games for Washington this year. His partner, Alzner, who is 22 years old, did not have the same success offensively with two goals and 12 points, but he was a plus-14 in 82 games.
Washington's blue line did suffer a big blow late in the season when Dennis Wideman suffered a leg hematoma that could keep him out for the entire first round. Wideman, who came to Washington in a trade with Florida back in February, had 10 goals and 40 points in 75 combined games for the Panthers and Caps this season and his two-way play will be missed for at least the first part of the upcoming series.
Caps blueliner Tom Poti has also been sidelined since the middle of January with a groin injury and his status for this series is uncertain.
Washington boasts a trio of impressive young goaltenders, but it's unclear which one of them is going to be the club's primary netminder in the postseason.
Michal Neuvirth, 23, saw the most action in net this year and went 27-12-4 with a 2.45 goals-against average in 48 games. The Czech backstop posted a strong 5-1-0 record in his last six games of the regular season, and although he has never manned the crease in an NHL playoff game, Neuvirth has the inside track on the Game 1 start.
However, Boudreau could rely on Semyon Varlamov, the club's playoff goaltender in each of the past two seasons, should Neuvirth falter. Varlamov was 11-9-5 with a 2.23 GAA in an injury-plagued year in 2010-11, but at just 22 years of age, the Russian has played in 19 career playoff tilts, winning 10 of them while posting a 2.49 GAA.
Another option in net for Boudreau is the 21-year-old Braden Holtby, who was 10-2-2 with a sparkling 1.79 GAA and a .934 save percentage in his first 14 NHL games this year.
After going 1-for-33 on the man advantage in last year's playoff loss to Montreal, Washington's power play unit dropped from first overall in the 2009-10 regular season to 16th this year. The Caps did have the league's second-best penalty killing this season after finishing 25th in that category a year ago.
NEW YORK RANGERS (8th seed, East)
2010 PLAYOFFS: Did not qualify
(Sports Network) - The Rangers were knocked out of playoff contention thanks to a shootout loss to Philadelphia on the final day of the 2009-10 campaign and New York's postseason quest came down to the last weekend of the regular season once again.
A victory by the Rangers on the last Saturday of the regular season combined with a loss by Carolina later that night gave head coach John Tortorella's club the East's eighth seed as well as a fifth trip to the postseason in six years.
The Rangers are a club that struggles with consistency on offense and, as a result, New York relies heavily on goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.
Lundqvist was a workhorse once again in 2010-11, although his 68 games played were the fewest for the Swede since his rookie year of 2005-06. The 29-year- old went 36-27-5 with a 2.28 GAA and he also set career-bests in save percentage (.923) and shutouts (11).
However, Lundqvist has a career record of 14-16 in the playoffs and the Rangers have lost four of the six postseason series with Hank as the No. 1 goaltender. Lundqvist's last playoff series was against Washington in 2009 and he yielded 19 goals on 207 shots as his team lost in seven games. He may need to be New York's best player in the opening round if the Blueshirts plan on getting past the Capitals this year.
The Rangers wound up with five more goals than Washington during this year's regular season, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anybody who thinks New York has the better offensive team in this series.
New York had just one player with over 50 points this season, as Brandon Dubinsky posted a career-best 54 points and led his club in both goals (24) and assists (30).
Although the Rangers did not have anybody reach 25 goals this year, Dubinsky, Ryan Callahan, Marian Gaborik, Brian Boyle and Derek Stepan all had 20 or more tallies. Callahan, however, is out for the rest of the season after suffering a broken ankle earlier this month while blocking a shot.
Gaborik holds the key to New York's offensive success, but the enigmatic forward is coming off an disappointing second season in the Big Apple. Gaborik had 42 goals and 86 points with the Rangers in 2009-10, but managed just 22 tallies and 48 points this season.
Gaborik hasn't been very successful in the postseason during his career either, but this will be his first playoff run with the Rangers. After notching nine goals and eight assists in 18 games with Minnesota in the 2003 playoffs, Gaborik has recorded just three goals and two assists in his last 11 postseason tests.
Rookie Derek Stepan and second-year player Artem Anisimov had 45 and 44 points, respectively, this year and they need to pick up some of the scoring slack for the slack for Callahan in the postseason.
Veteran forwards Chris Drury and Vinny Prospal combined to play just 53 games this season, but both players could play big roles for New York in this series.
Drury returned from a two-month absence to score a big goal for the Rangers in their final game of the season, but that was his only score in 24 contests this year. However, the captain has 47 goals in 130 career playoff games and helped Colorado win a Stanley Cup in 2001.
Prospal had nine goals and 23 points in 29 games this year after missing the first 53 tests following knee surgery. His last playoff season came with Philadelphia in 2008, when Prospal had three goals and 10 assists to help the Flyers reach the conference finals.
The Rangers defense and the steady play of Lundqvist made New York the fifth- hardest team to score against this year, but the club's blue line is lacking in playoff experience. In fact, three members of New York's defensive rotation -- Michael Sauer, Matt Gilroy and Ryan McDonagh -- have never played in a postseason game at the NHL level.
Bryan McCabe was acquired at the trade deadline from Florida to provide offense and veteran leadership at the back end and he had two goals and four assists in 19 games with the Rangers.
At 24 years of age, Marc Staal is the club's best all-around defenseman and he has 17 games of playoff experience under his belt. He had seven goals, 22 assists and a plus-eight rating in 77 games for the Rangers this season.
Dan Girardi, 26, is also coming off his best offensive season with 31 points (4g, 27a) from the blue line. However, he has posted just three assists and a minus-6 rating in 27 career playoff games with the Rangers.
New York was 18th in the league this year in power-play efficiency and Tortorella's troops were 10th in the league in penalty killing.
Since winning a Stanley Cup as Tampa Bay's head coach in 2004, Tortorella has lost all three of his playoff series, including his only trip to the postseason with the Rangers in 2009.
The Capitals haven't made it past the second round of the postseason since their run to the Cup Finals in 1998, but Washington needs to be careful not to look past the Rangers in Round 1.
Then again, it will be hard for Washington to take New York lightly considering the way the season series went in 2010-11. After losing their first game against the Caps back in November, the Rangers won the final three meetings and outscored Washington by a combined 15-1 margin in those tests.
But, regular-season matchups don't always translate to the playoffs and Washington is counting on that fact in this series. The stake are extremely high for Boudreau, who could find himself out of a job if the Rangers are able to pull off the opening-round upset.
These clubs have met five times in the playoffs and Washington has won three of those series.
Ovechkin had no goals and two assists in four games versus New York this year, but the two-time Hart Trophy winner is always a threat to score. The Rangers will need to contain Ovechkin, but not at the expense of letting Washington's deeper supporting cast run wild.
Lundqvist holds the key to an upset, but will his heavy regular-season workload contribute to another disappointing postseason from the Swede?
In the end, Boudreau's tinkering has helped Washington tighten up a once- porous defense in the regular season, but it still remains to be seen if the Caps can stick to the plan in the playoffs.
Washington's real marker for success is how deep the club can go in the postseason, but that road has to start somewhere. The Caps will face a tough test from the Rangers, but they should ultimately move on to the next stage.
Sports Network predicted outcome: Capitals in 6

If you're a woman, you're automatically at greater risk for osteoporosis than men. But did you know that if you are a woman with an undiagnosed gastroenterology (GI) disorder, such as celiac disease, your risk of osteoporosis is even higher?
The reason is that women are born with a lower bone density than their male peers and they lose bone mass more quickly as they age. Additionally, undiagnosed GI disorders often cause nutritional deficiencies – in this case, a lower rate of vitamin D, calcium and magnesium absorption.
Celiac disease causes damage to the small intestine, which is responsible for absorbing important nutrients like calcium. Calcium is essential for building and maintaining healthy bones. Even people with celiac disease who consume sufficient amounts of calcium can be deficient.
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become less dense, leading to an increased risk of fracture. In the United States, more than 40 million people either have osteoporosis or are at high risk due to low bone mass. The diagnosis of osteoporosis is made by DEXA, or bone densitometry. This is a noninvasive test, and its results are discussed in comparison to peak bone density, the "T score". This will determine a patient's risk for fracture and if treatment is indicated.
Celiac disease is an inherited intestinal disorder in which the body cannot tolerate gluten, the protein in wheat, barley and rye. The diagnosis is made by a blood test and a small bowel biopsy. Because it affects absorption of necessary minerals such as vitamin D, there is an increased risk of osteoporosis.
Gluten intolerance should not be confused with a diagnosed GI disorder. Risk for osteoporosis is greatly reduced if the patient only has a gluten intolerance. Women who have had a bowel biopsy that came back positive for celiac disease are at the greatest risk.
The good news is there are treatments available to reduce your risk of osteoporosis.
For women with celiac disease, the gluten-free diet improves absorption rates of the necessary nutrients and often leads to improvements in bone density.
If you feel you may be at risk for osteoporosis, or have an undiagnosed GI disorder, see your primary care physician. If they feel that is necessary, they may refer you to a gastroenterologist. The best preventive care is to manage your calcium and vitamin D levels. Nutritionists recommend 1,500 milligrams of calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D daily.
Additionally, exercise, smoking cessation and low alcohol use are important; and your doctor may prescribe medications to help prevent or treat both diseases.

AFE, NCSU Create Floriculture Search Engine
The American Floral Endowment (AFE) has partnered with North Carolina State University (NCSU) to create the Floriculture InfoSearch Engine, a search engine for convenient and comprehensive access to floriculture literature, videos and presentations. Growers and retailers now have online access to a comprehensive floriculture library containing information that may have been previously unavailable.
The website also contains a floriculture archive with materials from AFE, NCSU, scientific journals and trade publications, all of which are accessible and searchable through one website.
"We want to thank a couple of floriculture pack rats, George Staby and Harold Wilkins, for opening their files to us and several industry groups and magazines for allowing us to scan and enter their articles," project leader and NCSU Horticultural Science Department Head John Dole, Ph.D. said. "This project is a wonderful example of what can be done when several groups work together to benefit the floriculture industry."
The search engine will be continuously updated with additional information dating as far back as the early 1800s as it becomes available.
To visit the search engine site, go to floricultureinfosearch.ces.ncsu.edu.

'Workaholics' Renewed for 2 More Seasons, 'Drunk History' Ordered To Series
Every 'Workaholics' fan knows that they've gotta be fresh, and Comedy Central isn't going to argue any time soon. In addition to the fourth season of the twenty-something slacker comedy set to premiere on January 16, Comedy Central also announced at the Television Critics Association press tour its plans to return 'Workaholics' for a fifth season as well. Additionally, FunnyOrDie sketch 'Drunk History,' has officially been ordered to series but for how many episode? New details inside!
Adam, Blake and Ders aren't getting fired anytime soon. In addition to the new episodes beginning Wednesday, January 16, Comedy Central has announced that 'Workaholics' has been picked up for a fourth and fifth season, to consist of 13 episodes each. "When I realized Workaholics is not a reality show, it made me appreciate the guys' talent that much more," said Comedy Central head of original programming and production Kent Alterman. "It only seems right that we would renew for two seasons."
Additionally, the network has ordered FunnyOrDie web-series 'Drunk History' to an eight-episode series airing in the summer, to be produced by legendary funnyman Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy, all of whom will will executive produce with web series creator Derek Waters, director and Owen Burke.
Like the web series, Comedy Central's 'Drunk History' will feature historical reenactments by A-list talent serving as the titular drunk storytellers. "Will and I have always believed booze brings out truth," McKay said at the panel. "Sometimes that truth involves hitting on airport bar janitors or eating cheese fries at 4 a.m. But in this case, we hope that truth will shine on our nation's history."
The web-series has previously featured the likes of Ferrell, Jim Carrey, Ryan Gosling, Jack Black, Don Cheadle, Michael Cera, Zooey Deschanel, John C. Reilly, Crispin Glover, Jason Ritter and Danny McBride.
What say you? Are you excited to have 'Workaholics' back for additional seasons? What about 'Drunk History' as a full series?

The Chelsea & Westminster(15 Posts)
Hi, will be having my first baby at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital in February (if he/she arrives on time...) and would love to hear from anyone who's recently had or will have a baby there. Not having much luck so far finding out what its maternity services are like...
Hi KarenFive, same here..I am hoping to be there around late January, may be in Feb..I sneaked into the maternity ward last time, and everything looked calm and under control to me..and in general I have heard good things about it. I have booked for a proper hospital tour in december though and their antenatal classes (not at the hospital, but at my local GP in Parsons Green)..so should have a better idea nearer the time.
A friend just had her second baby there a week ago and was very happy. I had my daughter there too last year (although in the Kensington ward). Nice hospital. Feels modern and clean unlike most!
Hi SazzaK. Out of interest, did you do all your antenatal care privately at the C&W as well? The reason I ask is that I was also looking at the Kensington Ward but because I'm using the NHS for the rest of my care, they can't guarantee me a room - or might even have to chuck me out of the private room if a 'proper' private patient turns up! Didn't know if it was worth following up? Or how it compares with the standard maternity ward?
Hi FebruaryMummy - yes I was private for antenatal too and had my appointments with the midwives on the Kensington. I didn't want to run the risk of there not being a room, or of being turfed out(!), so I went for private midwifery care.
I am due in 2 weeks at Chelsea and Westminster. Have had NHS midwifery and although its not particularly personal, it has suited me. I am due to have NHS birth but may move to private ward for a night if there is room and can stomach the extra cost - although, it would be cheaper to go and get a suite at the Ritz probably.
Have had a few people who claim it is good - the hospital not the Ritz.
Hi LTSam - I think the Kensington Ward is about £800 a night, so yes, the Ritz might be cheaper!
Had DS at Chel and West NHS (hideous experience - though I hear not representative of most experiences there) then went to private ward for a night after the birth. That night was the best money I have ever spent. I would thoroughly recommend trying to get a private room if you can get/afford it. Next time I would go private for the whole thing.
I had my baby at Chelsea last February - all was lovely until I hit the post-natal ward. Emergency C-section required me to stay for four days and it felt like a prison sentence. Surly overnight staff and hideously dirty surroundings (from the floors to the bathrooms and everywhere else)made for a tough start. However, I know many Mums who had a great experience with no problems at all (all with normal births, of course). Hard to say really. Not sure what I would do for a future birth.
I am due in April and am going to C&W. I have found everything so far excellent although I am going fully private (Kensington ward). In fact I chose C&W over Portland because I heard such good stuff and also because the Portland cannot deal with everything when the baby is born if there are any problems and there is a small risk of being transferred.
However, My SIL also had her DS (now 2) & DD (now 4) at the C&W and did everything through the NHS and she had a great experience. She had a caesarean both times. She found the staff great.
which doc massive mollyfloss? is he/she working out well? I was at the C&W Kensington (midwifery-led tho) - interested to hear all experiences of the obstetricians there for next time round!
I've had both my children and C&W on the NHS. The care I recieved during labour was excellent and couldn't be faulted. With my daughter in 2006 the post natal ward was pretty poor- unclean, not enough staff and a general feeling of not getting the help adn care that you needed. However, I had my son there this OCtober and it was much improved - very clean and seemingly more staff around to help who also smiled a lot more! I still find it tough being on a general ward after birth as it's v difficult to get any sleep as even if your baby's not crying someone else's is! Still, I'd rather save the 800 quid for a flash weekend away!
I had my daughter in May 06 on the NHS, I never saw the same midwife twice in the lead up to the birth and was not impressed. On the day though they were wonderful. Two scottish girls who extended their shifts to see me through.
However I gave birth (finally!) at 1130pm and left about 12 hours later once I had tried the food!
Fairly Sleepless night of course but I was too busy checking out the new arrival to care.
Good luck with it all, it will be fine.
Anybody recently (2011) had their baby at Chelsea Westminster? Im booked to have my DS there in 2 weeks and wanted to know more about the NHS after-care there now?
Hello, I'm due to have my baby via CS at C&W (privately) in June and was wondering if anyone had their baby there and what it was like? Read all the comments about NHS and it does not sound good, so was wondering whether Kensington Wing has a different approach. Also does anyone know of any antenatal classes tailored to CS, rather than natual birth around Chelsea as it turned out that C&W discontinued their private classes that focus on CS?
Thanks in advance.

Whitey Anderson has challenged Ballinamallard to keep flying high as he aims to finish the season on a high.
The Mallards have confounded all the critics with their performances so far this season and they look odds on to secure a top six finish.
They are a point closer to achieving the dream thanks to another impressive performance at Coleraine on Saturday.
And Anderson wants his players to keep showing that fighting spirit that has served them so well to date.
" We've five tough games left until the split and we'll just keep scrapping away to make sure we stay in the top six," said Anderson.
"We have a great bunch of lads here who show great desire and commitment.
"They fight for every ball and every second ball. I think that was evident for everyone today.
"We're in fourth place at the minute and hopefully we can go on and secure a top six finish.
"It would be a great way to round off our debut season in the Premiership."
There was to be no repeat of Ballinamallard's amazing 5-1 demolition of the Bannsiders just over a fortnight ago. But Anderson was happy enough with a point in the end.
"I knew it was going to be tough here today as Coleraine would be desperate to put things right after the last result," he said.
"They came out and had a real good go at us in the first half and to be honest I'm delighted to come away with a point.
"They had a couple of good chances in the first half, but thankfully our keeper made two great saves in the first half to keep us in the game.
"I just said to the boys after the game that we have Alvin to thank for securing the draw for us.
"Our season is going well, but we want that top six finish and we are determined to do that.
"The boys have worked very hard this season and they will continue to do that until the end of the season."
Bannsiders boss Oran Kearney was disappointed his side didn't take advantage of the chances that were presented to Curtis Allen and Stevie Lowry.
"Goals change games and especially the first goal in a game and we had a couple of good chances in the first half through Curtis and Stevie," said Kearney.
"You would put your house on Curtis to score in that position, but the keeper has made a good save to deny him.
"But when you create chances that those you really should be coming away with all three points.
"We wanted to prove a point today as we felt the last game was very harsh on us.
"Unfortunately we couldn't find that all important goal, but the lasds put ina good shift, we just lacked a cutting edge today," added the Bannsiderrs boss.

Sarah murder suspect rearrested
A 42-year-old mechanic from Littlehampton, West Sussex has been charged with the kidnap and murder of schoolgirl Sarah Payne.
Roy Whiting, was arrested by police at an address in Kent just after 0900GMT on Tuesday and was taken to Bognor Regis police station where he was interviewed and then charged.
Eight-year-old Sarah's body was found in a field near Pulborough, West Sussex, two weeks after she disappeared on 1 July.
She was last seen as she walked to her grandparents' home in Kingston Gorse, after leaving her brothers and sister playing in a field nearby.
A massive police operation, costing more than �1m, was launched.
Detective Inspector Martin Underhill announced the arrest on Tuesday afternoon.
"At 3.20pm this afternoon Roy William Whiting was charged with the murder of Sarah Payne.
"He was also additionally charged with the kidnap of Sarah.
"He will be appearing at Chichester magistrates' court at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
"Sara and Michael (Sarah's parents) have been informed that Whiting has been charged."
The BBC's Steve Kingston was in Bognor, West Sussex, where that announcement was made.
"Roy Whiting was questioned for almost four hours then charged with her kidnap and murder," he said.
The police say they received fresh information which was used for new lines of questioning with the suspect.

It's Christmas Eve in South Korea and the centerpiece of the Seoul skyline, The Tower Sky is getting ready to celebrate. The pair of upscale residences are exclusive in their clientele and high tech in their amenities. Lee Dae-ho (Kim Sang-kyung) is the manager of the facility and he always has his hands full - mostly thanks to his precocious daughter who, on this day, wants her daddy to promise snow for the holidays. Sadly, Asia is experiencing a bit of a heatwave. Lee also has a thing for restaurant manager Seo Yoon-hee (Son Yi-jin) though he has a hard time expressing his true feelings.
In the meantime, owner, Mr. Jo (Cha In-pyo) is making preparations for his annual holiday party meant to inspire confidence in his complex and jealousy in those who cannot afford to live there. When a proposed flyover by helicopters results in a tragic accident, one of the two towers goes up in flames. This means that the local fire brigade, lead by Captain Kang Young-ki (Sol Kyung-gu)and featuring a fresh faced rookie named Lee Seon-woo (Do ji-han) must do all they can to battle the blaze and keep the building from collapsing, less the hundreds of people trapped inside all die.
Taking its time to set up situations and characters before delivering the Irwin Allen goods, The Tower is one cheeky riff on the '70s disaster epic The Towering Inferno. Offering a similar level of unnecessary melodrama to round out the action sequences, the whole experience feels like a lark, like a group of dedicated artists who felt the need to push the boundaries of CGI architecture to make their movie even more incredible. You know this isn't going to be your typical all star spectacle from the moment an elevator full of people are roasted like a collection of rotisserie chickens. That's right, a packed car full of future statistics gets stuck between flame-engulfed floors and before you know it, the metal is buckling, shoe soles are melting, and flesh is rendered crispy like a Texas pitmaster. It's, perhaps, the most disturbing scene in the movie, except for those moments when people on the ground witness desperate victims jumping to their deaths.
Along the way, director Kim Ji-hoon (Sector 7) hits all the same disaster movie beats. We get the doting dad, the bratty kid, the unrequited love, and goofy best friend, the aging couple, the arrogant bureaucrat, the criminal construction head, the clueless tech crew, the mythic fire captain, the plaintive wife, etc. etc. etc. The movie spends so much time making sure we know who's who, who we should care about and who we should hiss, and why their eventual death/rescue will matter to the movie's main narrative arcs that, by the time the pyrotechnics settle in, we've got all the handwringing bases covered. The, one by one, the floors become infernos and Kim must decide who actually makes it to the final credits and who's incinerated in his or her own version of Hell. For their part, the actors all excel at tugging at your cynicism. You know you shouldn't care, but then someone buys the big one and you feel slightly sad. Slightly.
Truth be told, the main selling point here is the special effects. Like a big budget Hollywood film, The Tower contains some excellent CG renderings of vertigo inducing situations, a lot of building code blarney (would a city really allow a walkway between the two structures so tenuously placed that high in the air? And that flimsy looking?) and the inevitable discovery of a water source in the middle of the metal sky. As the pace quickens and the body count rises, you wonder how this film can top itself. And then a major character dies and a cheap pre-credit image adds even more saccharine to an already cloyingly manipulative set-up. Sure, there are parts of this film that will get on your nerves (as said before, a little of Lee's daughter goes a long, long way) and the Asian acting community still believes in a bit of mugging now and then, but for the most part, The Tower is a lot of fun. It may not hit all the cheesy highs that made Irwin Allen a '70s icon, but it does his kind of star studded schlock proud.

Ownership as a determining factor in the evolution of efficiency
Taking into consideration the privatisation policy that has emerged in recent decades, significant researches have been carried out to compare the efficiency of public and private companies. However, there is a drop regarding the evolution of these companies over the years. In view of this, the present research tries to deal with the analysis of efficiency from a dynamic perspective, and to evaluate the process of changes occurring between the starting point (1990) and the finishing point (1998). The methodology is Indexes of Malmquist. Empirical data show that privatised enterprises have improved its technical efficiency more than private enterprises. Public enterprises are the firms that have improved least in this way. Finally a complementary analysis considers if determinant factors, such exports, R&D., presence of workers contracted, or human c Indexepital contribute to improve the efficiency.

"Nostalgia is a weapon" - graffiti
For the duration of his residency at the Unstitute, Nicholas Middleton will attempt to make a film or film an attempt to make sense of the United Kingdom's constitutional monarchy in the run up to an arbitrary marker in Elizabeth Windsor's ongoing bid to become its longest reigning unelected head of state. This process will be dissected in open and transparent indifference and tiny slivers will find their way online in a half-hearted way.
Once finished the film will be ceremoniously destroyed, which will be documented by an independent invigilator. This documentation will then be destroyed, which is where the process of a snake eating its own tail must stop.

Although I have spent a lot of time in San Antonio (even living there for 4 years) I've not experienced the Lodge in Castle Hills. Those who have: please comment on food, decor, atmosphere.
We will be several professional women in town for a seminar and celebrating a 50th birthday. How does TLCH compare to Biga on the Banks (we loved the old Biga) or Le Reve.
We love great food and don't mind paying for it and for some great wine, but we don't want an atmosphere too stuffy, either. While you are at it, comment on La Reve as well? Seems lovely, but a little too precious?
Thanks in advance and any other suggestions will be appreciated.

" Brand: Tesco F&F / Type: Trainers "
Some of you may remember reading about my experience with a pair of boots recently, where I'd paid £26 for a pair of boots which weren't waterproof, and fell to pieces within about a week of wearing them. I've put my search for the perfect boots on hold for now, at least until winter sets in, and so I bought these black trainers from Tesco to wear for work. As I work in an office, my original plan was to wear them for my commute to work (it involves a half hour walk each way), and then change into a pair of work shoes when I got to work. However, I seem to be getting away with leaving these trainers on, as they have a shoe-like appearance, so for now, these are currently my choice of work footwear.
I already own a pair of trainers from Tesco, and have had them about 18 months despite the fact they only cost £5! So I figured with these, they would probably last a reasonable length of time, and even if they didn't they only cost £7 so I wouldn't have lost too much.
The trainers are black in colour, with white stripes along the side. The stripes have a little bit of pink at the edges and are light reflective. The label is, as Alan Partridge would say, "disconcertingly vague" about the material these trainers are made from, with the material being described as "other". However, the main part of the trainers is a leather looking material (although obviously not real leather for the price!), and there are mesh panels round the side. They have a round toe, and black laces, and there is another white strip at the base of the shoe at the sides.
Design wise, these trainers are a bit strange in that they look like shoes when worn with trousers. The front of the trainer by the toes is the leather-type material, which just looks like shoes, and as my work trousers are usually long enough to wear with boots, they cover the white bits so these look like normal work shoes. However, when it comes to wearing them with jeans or tracksuit bottoms, I'm not so keen. For the same reason that it looks like you're wearing shoes with your jogging pants!
In terms of comfort, I can't fault these trainers. They feel really spongey on the ground which makes walking long distances very comfortable, and they don't pinch at the heel or squash my toes. The fit of the trainer appears to be quite narrow, as my feet aren't particularly wide but I do have to squeeze them in a bit at first. Once they're in, my feet don't feel squashed though.
I have worn these trainers in heavy rain and am pleased to report that my feet did not get wet. The only strange thing I have noticed was the other day when it was quite windy, I felt a bit of a draft round my toes. I'm guessing this is due to the mesh material, but for the price I can't really complain. These trainers are definitely worth £7, and I think I will get my money's worth from them.

PAPAB65 & kimmysunshine
After searching hundreds of profiles my "kimmysunshine" has come into my life. When I saw her she was like sunshine on a gloomy day. Her eyes and smile would light up any room. We have so much in common with each other. I truly have met the woman of my dreams and the woman I was destined to spend the rest of my life with. I would recommend BlackSingles.com (formerly Black Singles Connection) to anyone if they are searching for their soulmate.

Hi, I have relational database and I want to make the most of the data across several tables; for example, a table with sales data and the table with the prices, and another table linking both; I wonder if I want to display that data, and adding counting the data, or any other info I can get from the tables, what's the best way to do it: build a big fat messy query or several queries, each one depending on the previous one?

This week, I picked up some amazing looking beets at the farmers market. I've been saving them to make this weekend, as the weather is supposed to be great, and I want to invite folks over for a little gathering in my backyard. We'll have cool drinks and barbeque, but to start things off, I'm going to serve them a salad of summer greens, herbs, roasted beets and hazelnuts. To get the recipe,
Note: You can roast the beets earlier, I plan on doing them the day before, so that the oven is not on during the warm day. Or alternatively, I could have cooked them on the grill.
Also, consider saving time by using pre-seasoned nuts.
Summer Greens and Herbs with Roasted Beets and Hazelnuts
From Food and Wine Magazine, July 2002
- 3/4 pound medium red or golden beets (about 3), scrubbed
- 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup hazelnuts (about 4 ounces), lightly toasted
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup (see Note)
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- Twelve 1/4-inch-thick baguette slices
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 pound blue cheese, such as Roquefort, at room temperature
- 8 loosely packed cups mesclun (about 6 ounces)
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoons tarragon leaves
- 3 tablespoons chervil leaves
- 3 tablespoons snipped chives
- Preheat the oven to 500°. In a small baking dish, toss the beets with 2 tablespoons of the vinegar and the water. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour, or until tender. Let cool, then peel the beets and cut them into 1/4-inch wedges. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°.
- In a small bowl, toss the hazelnuts with the simple syrup and 3/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until the syrup-covered nuts are shiny and dry. Let cool. Leave the oven on.
- Brush both sides of the baguette slices with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Let cool, then spread with the blue cheese.
- In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 6 tablespoons of olive oil until blended. Season with salt and pepper. Add the mesclun, herbs, beets and hazelnuts; toss to coat. Transfer the salad to plates and serve with the Roquefort toasts.
Note: To make simple syrup, combine equal parts of sugar and water and simmer over moderate heat to dissolve the sugar. Refrigerate any leftover syrup.

Three-time major winner, Padraig Harrington won his first European Tour in eight years after a one-shot victory at the Portugal Masters. At a pre-tournament price of 110/1, the Irishman tops the list of our biggest winners of the weekend.
After a closely fought match, Ben Stokes inspired England to a 22-run win over Bangladesh in their opening game of the test series. A knock of 85 in the second innings along with six wickets, there was also noticeable contributions from Bairstow, Moeen Ali and Gareth Batty finally saw off a valiant Bangladesh side, who on another day could well have claimed a massive test match scalp. The second test match gets underway on Friday and England go into it at 4/6 to claim the win and series.
In the Premier League, Liverpool and Chelsea were the only two team's inside the top 10 who won at the weekend. Liverpool beat West Brom 2-1 which puts them third, only behind Man City and Arsenal by goal difference. Antonio Conte ruined Jose Mourinho's return to Stamford Bridge by defeating Man Utd 4-0. Chelsea currently lie fourth, one point behind the front three. Surely both teams must fancy their chances at winning the Premier League if their rivals continue to drop points.
Firstly, we start with the Premier League where after Man Utd's humiliating defeat to Chelsea, they are now best priced at 25/1 to win the Premier League. A more realistic target will be to finish in the top four and they are currently 7/5 to achieve this.
Sunderland tasted another defeat thanks to an injury-time winner by West Ham. David Moyes is yet to win a game in the Premier League with Sunderland and at 10/11, he's the favourite to be the next manager to leave.
Anthony Ogogo suffered a shock loss to Craig Cunningham. The 2012 Olympic bronze medallist was retired by his corner in the eighth round after struggling throughout the bout. Ogogo was as short as 1/10 to win the fight and claim the WBC International Middleweight title.
Finally, in X-Factor, Relley C became the third act to be booted off the show. She lost the sing-off as Simon, Nicole and Louis opted to save Four of Diamonds.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Any Soldier Inc., Waldorf, MD, USA
I obtained information regarding Anysoldier from my grand-daughters school newspaper - 5 years ago!!! My sister and I have been shipping every month since then - usually have 2 groups. I am never in the dark regqarding what to ship and not to ship, or how to ship and have only had great results with the mailing kits. A local Drug store jumped on the wagon 4 years ago and has continued to take donations for us in the small town I currently live in - York, SC. I am not sure WHO is the greatest, Walgreens Drugs or the wonderful people in the town who soooo freely give. Praises to the Horns for starting this site- a real blessing to the supporters and to the troops!!!! Even on a couple of occasions it was necessary to contact Marty, his reply was quick and answered my questions fully! I try to spread the word about this site every chance I get. Thank you Marty for all you do!!!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
We have had hundreds of emails from the troops we have supported, all so grateful for this site. I am grateful also, that as 1 group returns home, I simply go to the site and c hoose another group with great ease.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I do not know of any changes that can be made. The most difficult thing we have encountered (not often) has been shipping and NEVER knowing if the boxes arrived.


text: I'm thinking of getting a pet octopus. I would like some advise about availability of species , life expectancy, cost and possible pitfalls I could run into. I am willing to put necessary time and effort, but I'm not willing to spend a ton of money for initial set-up. I've never kept a saltwater tank, so I'm wondering how difficult it is. I know quite a bit about octopus biology, but I know little about saltwater tank maintenance. Any advice?

I Took My Workout to the Next Level
Last week I had my 6 week post partum checkup and everything was A-OK so I am clear for a more intense workout. While I might be able to do it, there's question about if I'm actually capable of doing it.
Last week I set out some pretty clear goals that I felt really good about, but I ended up deviating from them. But…I know it was for the best because it made my body ~hurt so good~ (name that tune!).
Seriously. I am feeling sore in muscles I forgot I had.
So last week's goals were:
- 30 minutes of Dance Central 3 at least 3 days a week.
- Complete the Nike+ Kinect Training assessment (waiting for it to arrive!).
- 10 pushups 3 days this week.
- Hit 4,000 steps in one day.
But what I really did was:
- Monday: 30 minutes of Dance Central 3 (I beat story mode on easy, by the way. Yay!)
- Wednesday: Random challenges on my Striiv Smart Pedometer to motivate me to get more steps in and the assessment in Nike+ Kinect Training for getting lean.
- Thursday: 25 minutes of cardio via Nike+ Kinect Training.
- Sunday: 25 minutes of strength training via Nike+ Kinect Training.
Oh. My. Gawd. Nike+ is kicking my butt. I told my virtual trainer I would commit to 4 times a week, but ended up skipping out on Saturday. Thankfully Brian has joined me on Nike so we committed to working out on the same days. (If I hadn't bought it I just might have thrown it out the window for making me work so hard.)
But wow, I'm very clearly out if shape. Besides needing to wear not one but TWO bras to keep the girls in place, I was shocked at how my belly flapped around when I jumped and hopped. And why oh why can't I barely jump off the ground anymore?
Our living room is small and we have just about enough space for the training. Overall I like that it is more customized than any other fitness "game" I've "played," but I wish it had an ultra beginner level. It won't accept modified pushups (sorry but I just can't do them anymore unless I'm on my knees…it's a sad realization for me) unless I go into tracking off mode. It also foolishly tries to make me do a variety of hopping on one foot (side to side, back and forth, in a square) even though I struggle to do it in place.
What's happened to me?
Oh and then there's the plank it wouldn't track me doing until I was laying on my stomach…or was it just hanging that low? I am not quite sure anymore.
Next week I plan to knock out all four scheduled days even if I struggle through my workout. If I do anything extra, great, but that's my focus right now. Oh and starting January 28th, I'm participating in a 30 day water challenge so I can work on making 64 ounces per day a habit again.
The good news is I haven't gained any weight! I'm just fluctuating around 224-225 pounds right now…

If so, how do we guarantee that all the edits either make it to HDFS or not atomically? Or is this just broken? Yeah I thought about that too but I'm not sure how can we do a single DFS operation of any number KVs. > (ii) The updates to memstore should happen after the sync rather than before, correct? Otherwise, there is the danger that the write to DFS (sync fails for some reason) & we return an error to the client, but we have already taken edits to the memstore. So subsequent reads could serve uncommitted data. Indeed. The syncWal was taken back up in HRS as a way to optimize batch Puts but the fact it's called after all the MemStore operations is indeed a problem. I think we need to fix both (i) and (ii) by ensuring we do only a single append for whatever we have to put and then syncWAL once before processing the MemStore. But, the other problem here is that the row locks have to be taken out on all rows before everything else in the case of a Put[] else we aren't atomic. And then I think some checks are ran under HRegion that we would need to run before everything else. Quite a big change but I think it's needed. J-D

Charli XCX's The Super Ultra Mixtape
2012 Breakthrough Artist honoree Charli XCX has delivered on her promise from last week to give listeners her second free mixtape of the year with, er, The Super Ultra Mixtape. We've already heard the rap-infused cut "Love Aura," and now you can stream and download the 8-track mix (which boasts a redux of How to Dress Well's "Cold Nites") in its entirety. Of the mix, the black light-hued pop star shared the following notes about how this one came about:
"Making it was an intense experience for me coz I basically wrote the whole thing whilst I was driving around in a car in Poland. I was only there for two days so everything is totally raw. All the songs are about love. Sometimes it's stupid love and sometimes it's heartbreaking love. It's about being confused. In particular, GLOW is a really emotional song for me. I think I had my first proper breakdown when I wrote that song. I cried a lot.
I cried a lot whilst making this mixtape, which is funny because some of the songs seem quite light-hearted and a bit… I dunno… Gangster. To me they're all sad songs in some way though. Some songs were inspired by moments in movies – like DANCE 4 U was inspired by the opening scene of Planet Terror, where Rose McGowan does the pole dance. I think that's a really sad and desperate scene. It makes me cry when I watch it.
I guess that's all just personal shit though. I don't want people to be sad when they listen to SUPER ULTA… I want them to be happy, and I want them to dance. No one dances in this town anymore."
Lust for Youth's "It's You"
AS isn't sure what the circumstances are between Italy's Avant! Records and NYC's Sacred Bones as far as work relationships go, but there is most definitely something going on behind closed doors between the two dark, lo-fi labels that ends up benefiting both sides of the globe. In the past, Avant! has provided Europe with releases by Sacred Bones favs Cult of Youth, and now Sacred Bones is reciprocating the favor by reissuing Growing Seeds. the great debut album from Sweden's LUST FOR YOUTH (which features VÅR's Loke Rahbek.) AwkwardSound debuted the track "Behind Curtains" Growing Seeds preceding its release on Avant! back in April, and now you can hear another gothy synth cut from the VAR in "It's You." The Sacred Bones repress of Growing Seeds comes out on November 13th.
The Weeknd's "Twenty Eight"
Upon releasing the non-album track "Enemy" a few weeks back, it was looking like listeners would have to wait until the official November 13th release date of the Weeknd's Trilogy to hear any of the three brand new songs set to to appear as an added bonus on the complete packaged physical release of the 2011 Breakthrough Artist's freebie mixtape series. Just one week shy of those albums finally becoming something tangible, Abel Tesfaye has finally let two of them slip out through BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe with "Twenty Eight," a driving piano-based beat that's admittedly less sultry in the soundscape department, but still stylized with a flair for dramatic R&B love trouble, and "Valerie," a slow burner that showcases some outer space age production.

text: Every culture makes the distinction between "true religion" and magic, regarding one action and its result as "miraculous," while rejecting another as the work of the devil. Surveying such topics as Babylonian witchcraft, Jesus the magician, magic in Hasidism and Kabbalah, and magic in Anglo-Saxon England, these ten essays provide a rigrous examination of the history of this distinction in Christianity and Judaism. Written by such distinguished scholars as Jacob Neusner, Hans Penner, Howard Kee, Tzvi Abusch, Susan R. Garrett, and Moshe Idel, the essays explore a broad range of topics, including how certain social groups sort out approved practices and beliefs from those that are disapprovedproviding fresh insight into how groups define themselves; "magic" as an insider's term for the outsider's religion; and the tendency of religious traditions to exclude the magical. In addition the collection provides illuminating social, cultural, and anthropological explanations for the prominence of the magical in certain periods and literature.

BRUSSELS -- European Union antitrust regulators said yesterday they have extended the deadline for an initial review of Procter & Gamble Co.'s $57 billion takeover of Gillette Co., to July 15 to examine the possibility that certain business units would be divested.
Officials at the EU head office said they received a proposal to ensure the takeover does not cause competition concerns on the European market.
The EU had set a July 1 preliminary deadline for its review of the deal. However, if it finds it needs further study of the deal over competition concerns, it could launch a deeper probe lasting for three months. During the initial review, P&G and Gillette competitors can file competition complaints over the deal.
The two companies are planning to sell some of their overlapping tooth care product lines, according to media reports last week. These plans amount to small divestitures and could include P&G's Crest toothpaste brand and Gillette's Oral B dental product line.
However, for the most part, Cincinnati-based P&G -- maker of Pampers diapers and Tide detergent -- has limited product overlaps with Boston-based Gillette's disposable razors and Duracell batteries.
The two firms have not revealed any plans to divest business units as a result of the takeover.
''Talks have been amicable and constructive," said P&G spokeswoman Linda Ulrey. ''In terms of any specific things we're talking about with the committee, there's nothing more to be said about providing details other than we will continue to work with them and answer any questions they have."
Gillette spokesman Eric Kraus declined to comment on the deadline extension.
The two consumer product giants hope to get regulatory clearance in both the United States and the EU, and shareholder approval before this fall.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffFirst review. Any constructive feedback would be great. Noticed a lot of people joined just so they could rate this a 5 and rate all other Deftones albums a 1 or 2. Just because I think this is their best album doesn't mean their others are any worse now.
Album Rating: 3.0nice first rev but there will be at least 10 user reviews of this by the end of the weekend it'll just get lost mate
Digging: Motorpsycho - The Tower
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffI'm preparing for the onslaught of negs just because I gave this a 5. Yes I wanted to be the first 5 review since there aren't any yet but I honestly believe it deserves it. There is always gonna be someone who thinks something is overrated.
Album Rating: 3.05ing this you are more likely to get pos's on here
Album Rating: 3.0god, people are overrating this. that summary really bugs me.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffThanks. And I know your right menawati but when I started writing this there wern't any really good reviews of it and then Jeremy Bentham posting his after I started. But this is as good as any a place to start since I've listened to the album about 15 times now lol
Album Rating: 3.0good review regardless of my comment. pos
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffDo you think for the summary I should take a quote from the review or just give a generic description of the album?
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffEveryone loves Romantic Dreams and Graphic Nature, but to me they're the two most boring tracks. I also don't get why people always compare their heavy tracks to When Girls...there is nothing on this album that even comes close to the heaviness of Rats! Or Rocket Skates...
Good first review though mate.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Offoh thanks
Album Rating: 3.0Try and make the summary descriptive but sort of punchy I spose. Think of it like a newspaper
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off"Everyone loves Romantic Dreams and Graphic Nature, but to me they're the two most boring tracks. I also don't get why people always compare their heavy tracks to When Girls...there is nothing on this album that even comes close to the heaviness of Rats! Or Rocket Skates..."
I haven't seen Graphic Nature mentioned a lot but I think Entombed, the track most noted as favourite, is probably the worst. Still not bad though. I wasn't saying those songs were the heaviest they've done. Just the most efficient and uncompromising in their hardness since Self-titled. Except for the intro to Leathers of course lol.
Album Rating: 3.0im sorry it wasnt the summary that bothered me, though it could be better. the first line is a little bit silly hyperbolic if you ask me.
Album Rating: 4.0This album is pretty sweet yeah
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffOk, I fixed the summary and opening line. Hope it's a little better.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off" I guess they never will escape that shadow after all."
And it's very likely that that will never change, for one reason and 2 reasons. only 2:
Nostalgia and the hive thinking of "older = better".
Anyway, great review.
I thought a 5 for this wouldn't be able to get a very good review because most people wouldn't be able to "catch it"(if you know what i mean), but you did a great job.
Album Rating: 3.0Good review. That last metaphor is a bit awkward. I haven't rated this just yet, but I think it's probably my favorite since Around the Fur. Loads of that Meshuggah esque riffage. You know, that riff changing gears/drums reversing kinda mindfuck. I love the guitar tone on this album.
Album Rating: 3.5i enjoyed the review, but then the last few sentences popped up seemingly out of nothingness talking about dracula and school, buses. what is this nonsense change it i've beeen dringking soju
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Offits the aotc duh
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffEntombed? No way, that is definitely a highlight man. The two tracks I mentioned before have grown on me heaps, but Goon Squad is still filler

Dissertation Standardized Testing
Last year I got a secondary to publish my dissertation dissertation. And it got me that certain month to return up using the first-draft, which made it to the remaining model with just minor variations (but a lot of error checking). While significant alterations' lack may be partly as a result of my academic advisors (and my) need to conclude the job when feasible, I do believe the key section of that is because of the technique it somewhat organized, or was prepared.Carrying out a dissertation thesis is just an important project, the publishing itself is really an animal that is distinct but not easier. I do believe it is an error to start out publishing in phrases until you know the content along with the construction. They are hard to adjust and adhere together, once you compose paragraphs. And that I think should you choose not design it beforehand, it is nearly impossible to publish a 200+ websites operate, and a good way is to take action: Traces.Many people recognize collections from college. Many academics try and provide this specific hint for assessments. Plan that which you produce before you begin writing. A plan for a dissertation is not very the exact same, although not dissimilar. For one thing, it's much more comprehensive.Example Well Written Dissertation
