Seraquin is a joint supplement, specially formulated to help maintain healthy joint function in dogs and cats. It is recommended by many vets for use on its own, or in tanderm with prescription arthritis treatment where necessary. Seraquin Contains high-quality ingredients, and is produced by a company which has been making veterinary medicine for over 50 years including the leading arthritis treatment used by vets in the UK. Seraquin is a palatable tablet designed specifically for use in dogs and cats.
Seraquin For Cats & Small Dogs 800mg is the supplement designed to rebuild the joint cartilage for cats and dogs. It helps slow down wearing of the cartilage whilst building the foundations of new and stronger ones. Your vet will advise how much Seraquin your pet should take exactly for the best results.
As Seraquin is designed to support the joint, rather than treat the symptoms of pain and inflammation, an immediate effect may not be seen. We recommend 4-6 weeks treatment at the starting level, after which the daily intake of Seraquin can be reduced in ½ tablet intervals.
With a gradual reduction in the number of Seraquin tablets given over the weeks, a maintenance level of hlaf the initial amount can be reached. If the reduction causes regression in the dog's condition, the dosage should be increased to the level of the previous weeks.SIZE OF THE DOG LOADING DOSE

We're having a neighborhood cookout and will be doing burgers on the grill Saturday afternoon. Normally when I fix burgers, I usually add salt, black pepper, some garlic powder, an egg or two and a little A-1 to the meat and mix it all up. I like to have the butcher at the grocery grind either sirloin or rib eyes for the meat.
Out of curiosity, and also for maybe a new way to have burgers, how do you prepare your burgers before grilling?

While preparing pansy beds for the splash of dynamic winter color they provide, look for the common blue violet (Viola sororia, synonyms V. papilionacea and V. floridana), which is kin to the cultivated garden pansy, and continues in the South to linger into late fall with occasional blooms.
Often considered a yard weed, the common blue violet actually is native to Eastern North America. Violets colonize easily in slightly shaded, moist soil, displacing grass, and typically cohabitate with other colonizing yard weeds. Someone who yearns for a manicured lawn free of violets will have a challenging time removing them because the violet's root network is quite tenacious. Rather than exert an effort in eradicating them, my practice is to admire their beauty and use them to add nutritive and aesthetic value to my food dishes.
Violet leaves and flowers are highly nutritious in vitamins A and C, and high in antioxidants. During cold and flu season, the high vitamin C content will give a virus-preventative boost to the immune system.
In the South, the scalloped, heart-shaped leaves are nearly evergreen, making them a readily available, wild-foraged food. After gathering the leaves, either eat them raw in salads with an herby vinaigrette, or cook them like spinach in a little water with butter, adding salt and pepper to taste. Serve the cooked violet greens with the residual liquid to preserve the vitamins.
Although most showy and abundant in the early spring, when they are a harbingers of the season, the flowers still make an appearance in December. Violet flowers, which are closer to bright purple than blue, with little white centers, make decorative, edible additions to salads and cakes. When steeped in teas, they infuse their bluish tint into the brew, which will change colors - from blue to pink - based on the acid-base pH of the tea infusion. For a Victorianesque tea party, violet flowers can be boiled down with sugar into a sweet violet spread for shortbread cookies topped with a fresh violet flower.
Medicinally, the Cherokees utilized violet sororia as a blood-purifying tonic, especially during seasonally transitional times; as a cold and cough syrup remedy; and externally as a poultice for headaches, and skin swellings, such as boils.
The leaves and flowers have a cooling, demulcent, mucilaginous quality to heal the inflammation involved in a respiratory infection; plus, their expectorant quality helps break up phlegm in the chest.
People from other times and other places have used several violet species similarly to the Cherokees. Pliny the elder, a Roman who lived during the first century AD, wrote in his multivolume work, Natural History, that Viola tricolor was excellent for headaches.
John Gerard, a 16th century English physician, suggested violets for the "hoarseness of the chest" and "ruggednesse of the winde-pipe."
Garden pansies and their hybridized ancestor, European Johnny-jump-ups, or heartsease (Viola tricolor), are edible and medicinal, too; all containing flavonoid antioxidants, necessary for the body's defense against the accumulation of oxidative stress from the immune system. This season, plant an extra bed of pansies to eat, until the blue violets are again in bloom.

New place will be opening where the Houlihan's was, at the North Wales/Montgomeryville Costco shopping center, called The Metropolitan - American Diner and Bar. I read a blurb about what they plan to offer:
"A brand new concept that elevates traditional American comfort food to an eclectic culinary experience. Under executive Chef Stephen Keesler, we will produce virtually everything from scratch."
There was a Chef Stephan Keesler at the Melodia Grill in Souderton. I assume it is the same.
They may be opening after Labor Day.

Watch: Brazil legend Ronaldinho's car almost crushed by falling traffic light in India
Brazilian legend Ronaldinho had a lucky escape in India as collapsing traffic light came within inches of hitting the car he was travelling in.
The former PSG and Barcelona attacker was in Kerala visiting a school when the incident occurred and, as the video below shows, the 35-year-old could well have been seriously injured, if not killed.
Needless to say, the scene was soon mobbed by local onlookers.

Ganavya, The Kominas
World Cafe Live Philadelphia
3025 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA, 19104
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
RED BARAAT FESTIVAL OF COLORS is a celebration of HOLI, a Hindu holiday marked by public gatherings of families, friends, and strangers rejoicing in song, dance, and the exchange of "colors." The holiday signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, and an opportunity to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive.
The festival debuted in 2012 at a sold out Le Poisson Rouge in New York City and has since expanded to cities nationwide. This year's iteration will take place in NYC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington DC, Boston, Seattle, Portland, Philadelphia and beyond.
Bandleader and dhol player Sunny Jain curates a night of music highlighting the South Asian Diaspora in America. Past lineups have included DJ Rekha, Falu, Radhe Radhe: Rites of Holi (a film by the late, award-winning filmmaker, Prashant Bhargava, and Grammy-nominated pianist/composer, Vijay Iyer), Brooklyn Raga Massive, Mandeep Sethi, Parijat Desai Dance Company, Rupa & The April Fishes and Madame Gandhi.
Special guests for the 2017 Red Baraat Festival of Colors will be announced soon! This tour is in conjunction with the release of the band's new album BHANGRA PIRATES on Rhyme & Reason Records.
Vocalist and composer Ganavya Doraiswamy has carved a niche for herself at the nexus of South Indian vocal styles and jazz/contemporary music. She has been featured on various projects, most notably Alfredo Rodriguez's Tocororo (co-produced by Quincy Jones), which hit #1 on jazz charts. Ganavya's own debut album, Aikyam: Onnu, is set to release in March 2017. It features jazz standards translated into her native language of Tamil as well as recontextualized abhang-s (spiritual poetry written by 13th- to 15th-century Maharashtrian saints). Aikyam –a term used in Sanskrit and Tamil, to denote 'sameness,' is suggestive of a harmonious union, and represents a conscious merging of her different worlds. Ganavya holds degrees in theatre and psychology, and graduate degrees in performance (Berklee College of Music), and ethnomusicology (UCLA). She has worked with Danilo Perez, Placido Domingo, James Newton, Vijay Iyer, Zakir Hussain,Victor Wooten, Wadada Leo Smith, Alain Perez, Perico Sambeat, Laura Karpman, Polo Orti, Victor Mendoza, Javier Limón, Ousso Lotfy, and Zebbler Encanti Experience, among many other artists, who have all influenced her work.
The Kominas have been called many things over the years, but are basically just 4 weird brown dudes in a surfy-punk band. Karna, Basim, Sunny, and Shahjehan are set to release their 5th album in 2017, and really want to do some good for the collective mental health of civil society. They look forward to sharing space with everyone celebrating Red Baraat's Festival of Colors..

This is a divisional of application Ser. No. 667,322 filed Mar. 11, 1991 now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a bag holder, and in particular to a collapsible, portable holder for flexible plastic bags.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
Bag holders of generally the type proposed herein are by no means new. Examples of such bag holders are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,439,878, issued to R. W. Erhardt et al on Dec. 26, 1922; 1,664,658, issued to C. P. Blazer on Apr. 3, 1928; 3,468,505, issued to W. J. Reilly on Sep. 23, 1969; 3,563,505, issued to W. B. Langley on Feb. 16, 1971; 3,771,752, issued to R. F. Meeh on Nov. 13, 1973; 4,157,801, issued to R. L. Elmer on Jun. 12, 1979; 4,488,697, issued to N. G. Garvey on Dec. 18, 1984 and 4,630,752, issued to R. A. DeMars on Dec. 23, 1986.
In general terms, while the patented devices perform the desired function, such devices either are not portable or are somewhat complicated and thus expensive to produce. Moreover, a common problem with portable bag holders is that of tightly clamping the bag in the open position in the holder.
The object of the present invention is to solve the above problem by providing a relatively simple, portable bag holder with a readily closable and releasable latch.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to holder for a flexible bag comprising annular frame means; for supporting the top end of the bag; leg means for holding said frame means in an elevated position; split ring means; hinge means pivotally connecting the middle of said ring means to said frame means; handle means extending outwardly from each free end of said ring means for facilitating manual rotation of the ring means around the plane of said frame means between an open position in which only the centre of said ring means overlaps one side of the frame means, and a closed position in which the entire ring means overlaps the peripheral outer side edge of said frame means; and first latch means pivotally connected to one said handle means for rotation around said one handle means into releasable locking engagement with the other said handle means, whereby, with the ring means in the open position, when a bag is placed in said frame means and the top of the bag is folded over the frame means, the ring means can be rotated to the closed position to engage the top of the bag around substantially the entire periphery of said frame means, and the first latch means rotated to lock the ring means in the closed position.
The invention will be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a bag holder in accordance with the present invention in the open position;
FIG. 2 is an isometric view of the bag holder of FIG. 1 in the closed position;
FIG. 3 is an isometric view of the top end of one leg and a portion of the frame of the holder of FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 4 is an isometric view of a hinge used in the holder of FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIGS. 5 and 6 are isometric views of a latch mechanism used in the holder of FIGS. 1 and 2 in the open and closed positions, respectively.
FIG. 7 is an exploded isometric view of a portion of an alternate frame and leg connection;
FIG. 8 is a partly sectioned side view of another embodiment of a caster wheel and leg connection;
FIG. 9 is an isometric view from above of a bag carrier; and
FIGS. 10 and 11 are isometric views from below of another embodiment of the latch mechanism in the open and closed positions, respectively.
With reference to FIGS. 1 to 6 of the drawings, the basic bag holder of the present invention includes an annular frame 1 defined by a flat strip of metal 2 with a pair of vertically, spaced apart circular rods 3 connected to the outer surface thereof Three projections 5 extend downwardly from the frame 1 at locations spaced equidistant apart around the periphery of the frame. A bolt 7 with a flat elliptical outer head 8 extends through one side of each projection 5. The head 8 engages the top end 9 of an elongated tubular leg 10 to releasably connect the latter to the frame 1.
As best shown in FIG. 3, each leg 10 includes an L-shaped slot 12 at the top end 9 thereof for receiving the bolt 7. When connecting the leg 10 to the frame 1 the top end 9 of the leg is slid onto the projection 5, the bolt 7 entering the vertical arm of the slot 12, the leg is rotated until the bolt 7 engages the outer end of the horizontal arm of the slot 12, and the bolt 7 is tightened.
A crossbar 13 is pivotally connected to one leg 10 by a bolt 14 and a nut 15 (FIG. 2). A notch 16 is provided in the free end of the crossbar 13 for engaging a bolt 18 extending through an adjacent leg 10 to interconnect the legs and thereby stabilize the holder in use. The bolt 18 is held in the leg 10 by a nut 19 (FIG. 1). A wheel 21 is provided on the bottom end of two of the legs 10 and a plastic cap or foot 22 is provided on the remaining leg 10. Each wheel 21 forms part of a caster including a bracket 24, which is pivotally connected to the bottom of a leg 10 by a bearing 25.
A bag (not shown) placed in the frame 1 (with the top of the bag overlapping the frame) is retained in the frame by a split ring 26. The ring 26 is defined by a generally circular rod with an opening on one side thereof, i.e. the ring 26 does not define a complete circle. The ring 26 is pivotally connected at its center to one side of the frame 1 by a hinge generally indicated at 28. As best shown in FIG. 4, the hinge 28 is defined by a pair of horizontal, chain link-shaped loops 29 and 30 welded to the ring 26 and to the bottom rod 3, respectively, and a second pair of loops 31 passing through the loops 29 and 30.
A pair of handles 33 and 34 are provided on the free ends of the ring 26 which are more or less opposite the hinge 28. The handles 33 and 34 are perpendicular to the circle defined by the ring 26 in the closed position. Such handles 33 and 34 are interconnected and pulled together to press the ring 26 against a bag and the frame 1, i.e. to clamp a bag in the frame 1 by a latching lever 36. As best shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the lever 36 includes an L-shaped body with a rubber hand grip 37 on the outer end thereof. The inner end 39 of the lever 36 is pivotally connected to one free end 40 of the ring 26 by the simple expedient of providing a hole 41 in the lever 36 for receiving such free end 40. The inner, generally V-shaped side of the end 39 defines an arcuate surface for pulling the handles 33 and 34 together (FIG. 6), and for locking the ring 26 in the closed position (FIG. 2). A short rod 43 is connected to the free end 40 of the clamp 26, and a short projection 44 is provided on the inside of the lever 36 for preventing lateral movement of the lever in the closed position (FIG. 6). In such closed position, the rod 43 bears against one side of the lever 36, and the projection 44 bears against the frame 1.
Different embodiments of the leg to frame connection and hinge will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9. The alternate frame 46 (FIG. 7) includes a one piece annular body 47 with a concave groove 49 extending around the outer periphery thereof for receiving the ring 26. The alternate hinge includes a bracket 50 welded to the projection 5. A generally inverted L-shaped slot 52 is provided in the bracket 50 for receiving one side of the ring 26. The arms 53 of a generally U-shaped guide 54 extend outwardly from the ring 26 on each side of the bracket 50. When the ring 26 is in the groove 49, the arms 53 extend outwardly on either side of an upwardly projecting ear 56 on the bracket 50. When the ring is released and rotated to the open position, the bight of the guide 54 and the ring 26 are slide into the slot 52, the bottom of which supports the ring in the open position.
The leg 10 is connected to the projection 5 by a spring button 58 which extends through a hole 59 in the top end of the leg 10 when the projection 5 is inserted into the leg. A slot 60 is provided in the outer side edge of the top end of the leg 10 for receiving the bracket 50.
A similar button 62 (FIG. 8) connected to a leaf spring 63 is used to connect a caster wheel 21 to the leg 10. The generally V-shaped spring 63 is mounted in a hollow connector rod 65 is mounted in a hollow connector rod 65 which extends upwardly from an inverted U-shaped wheel carrying bracket 66, and the button 62 extends outwardly through the rod 65 and the leg 10.
Referring to FIG. 9, a bag carrying container 68 is suspended between two legs 10 by means of a pair of rods 69 and 70. Stepped ends 72 on the rod 69 perpendicular to the main body of such rod are inserted into openings (not shown) in the legs 10. The ends of the bottom rod 70 rest against the legs 10 to retain the container 68 in position.
With reference to FIGS. 10 and 11, another embodiment of the latch mechanism includes a latching lever 75 in the form of a generally triangular plate pivotally mounted on one free end of the ring 26. An arcuate slot 76 is provided in the lever 75. In the open position, handles 33 and 34 are spaced a maximum distance apart (FIG. 10). When the ring 26 is rotated into position over the groove 49, the handle 37 and the lever 75 are rotated to the closed position to lock the free ends of the ring 26 together (FIG. 11). The sides of the slot 76 in the lever 75 define arcuate surfaces which perform the same cam locking action as obtained with the lever 36, i.e. which pull the handles 33 and 34 towards each other, and which lock the ring 26 in the closed position.
It will be readily apparent that both embodiments of the invention (FIGS. 1 to 6 and 7 and 8) are readily assembled and collapsed. The ring 26 is easily rotated between the open and closed positions and simple movement of the latching lever 36 results in closing of the ring 26 around the top end of a bag. Normally, the holder is stored in the collapsed condition, the frame 1 forming one separate unit, and the legs, casters and crossbar 13 forming other units which occupy very little space. The holder is readily assembled by inserting the projections 5 into the top ends 9 of the legs 10 and tightening the bolts 7. The crossbar 13 is swung from a storage position parallel to the leg 10 to a use position (FIG. 2) in which the leg engages the bolt 18 on an adjacent leg 10. With the embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the wheels 21 are attached to the bottoms of the legs 10 and the latter are slid onto the projections 5.
When using the assembled holder, with the ring 26 open, a bag (not shown) is inserted into the frame 1 or 46, and the top end of the bag is folded downwardly around the frame. The ring 26 is pivoted downwardly around the frame 1 or 46, the handles 33 and 34 are pulled together and the lever 36 is rotated downwardly to ring the ends of the clamp 26 together (FIG. 6). Releasing of the bag is effected by the same procedure in reverse.

Organic Dairy Farmers: The Nelson Family
Two generations of the Nelson family are organic dairy farmers at their Flavor Ridge Farm in Altura, Minnesota.
After years of conventional farming, and the financial and health setbacks that came with it, the Nelson family decided to convert their dairy operation over to organic and sustainable methods.
This change in technique, outlook and attitude is commendable and inspiring – no wonder the Food Mythbusters team decided to feature the Nelson family as one of their Food Heroes.
Father and mother Laverne and Arlene Nelson, and their son Ross, share a pretty detailed explanation of their move to organic farming. Becoming organic dairy farmers not only offered a financial stability that made sense to a family business supporting two generations, it also presented a chance to repair the health of their cattle, themselves and their land. To paraphrase Ross, conventional farming focuses on how much you can get out of the cow, while organic farming focuses on how healthy you can make and keep the cow.
They fully admit that the work is not as easy as conventional farming, but it is more rewarding.
As Arlene says:
We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity that belongs to us. When we see it as a community to which we belong, we can treat it with love and respect.
We applaud the Nelson family's commitment to organic dairy farming and we thank Food Mythbusters for giving them the spotlight.
Is there someone in your community that you consider a food hero?

Looking for replacement bead for glazing bead. appears to be 1/2 H x 1/2 W (could be 3/8?).

Please see our 55-029 and let me know if that's a possible match.
A home owner from eugene says:

That looks pretty close, the only difference is the flat part on top. Who knows, it could just be that the snap-in piece that we pulled from the window collapsed over time. I'm going to give what you suggested a try.

text: OK, as I have stated in a couple of other threads I am starting out this year. Anyway I was looking through the classifieds this weekend and found a 36" mower for sale. Here are the details from the add and from talking to the individaul. Here are the details. Snapper/Kees 36" mower WB 12.5 HP Kawasaki engine 8-10 years old fixed deck variable drive about 2000 hrs Individual says (yes I am aware that anything can be said when selling something) that oil is changed every month. After talking to him he states that he completley clears out all the fuel for winter. Has used it as a backup now for a while. From talking to him he sounded like he knew what he was talking about as far as maintanace and "sounded" like he has kept it up pretty well. I ALSO REFFERED HIM TO THIS SITE---IS THERE A FINDERS FEE PRICE $500 MY USE My use for this machine will only be for about 2 months until I have more money (personal money--not business money) to get a Z or something else. By July this should be my back up machine as well. I only have about 5 customers at this time. I am just curiouse what peoples opinions are about this machine. I was going to spend 500-800 for a new 21" self propelled mower before I saw this add. Now I am considering getting this and really only using it for a couple of months. I am NOT taking out loans or financing ANY equipment. I am only buying what I can afford. So new equipment (bigger) is not an option right now. Just starting off and want to keep it simple. I now alot of people are going to say buy this and that or do this and that, and to tell you the truth I really don't want to hear that. I just want opinions on this machine. If you have had experience with these machines, I would appreciate any comments. THANK YOU. This is a great site and I have picked up alot of good info. Keep up the great work everyone. Mike

Nassau County Personal Injury Attorneys
The personal injury legal space accounts for a wide range of accidents. Injuries resulting from another person's negligence can take away from months or even years of your life and the compassionate Nassau County personal injury attorneys at Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP sincerely understand the difficulty you face after suffering a serious injury. Immediately after an accident or learning about a life altering injury, you and your family may feel confused or overwhelmed. Medical expenses during rehabilitation can be astronomical and you could end up paying for something that wasn't your fault.
If this sounds like familiar, our skilled lawyers urge you to seek legal counsel from a qualified personal injury firm. Our practice combines the experience of seven attorneys who specialize in personal injury law. We focus on plaintiffs so we can provide compassionate, personalized attention to every client who comes through our office.
How Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help You
When you face injuries that are not your fault, you may be entitled to legal compensation under the law. Personal injury claims allow individuals like you to receive monetary compensation to cover the costs associated with your injury. You can receive compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitative treatments, lost income and future wages, as well as pain and suffering.
If you are struggling with an accident injury, call our law office for a free consultation. We can help you determine if you have a personal injury claim eligible for compensation according to New York state laws. If you do have a case, your next concern may be cost and the difficulty of paying the legal fees associated with pursuing a claim. Our firm operates strictly on a contingency fee basis, meaning we don't charge clients unless we can recover money for you.
When we take on a personal injury case in Nassau County, our attorneys carefully conduct independent investigations. We look at every detail of a case so that we can provide an accurate representation of what happened. In addition to providing counsel and support in legal proceedings, our lawyers can talk with insurance companies on your behalf. Our services are intended to ease the burden of your injury so you can get back to your life as quickly as possible.
Types of Personal Injury
Whether you've been referred to our site or have been looking online for assistance, you'll find that our firm handles a wide range of personal injury cases. There is no claim too small or too large for our team of experienced Nassau County personal injury lawyers to handle. We handle cases involving:
- Vehicle accidents including trucks, motorcycles, and cars
- Pedestrian accidents
- Boating accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- No-fault insurance claims
- Hit & run accidents
- Other causes of injury
Our firm is known in the area for successfully prosecuting those responsible for injuries. We focus on providing compassionate support to our clients while pursuing cases with determination and the legal experience needed to see results. You don't have to suffer through your injury alone. Allow us to help you seek compensation and overcome this difficult time in your life.
Personal Injury Laws in New York
Every state has nuanced laws governing statutes of limitations, fault, and other factors in personal injury cases. New York laws include:
- Statute of Limitations. For personal injuries, the statute of limitations is three years from the time of the injury or discovery of injury. If you have known about your injury for longer than three years, you may not be eligible to seek compensation.
- Shared Fault. In some car accidents, your compensation may be reduced if the courts determine you are partially at fault.
- No Fault. In car accidents, this rule may require you to use your insurance policy to cover the expenses of the injury first. There are exceptions to this rule that our Nassau County personal injury attorneys can help you understand.
Please reach out to us for more information about your potential personal injury claim.

Marvel Studios Skips Hall H Panel at Comic-Con
SDCC 2010: Marvel Studios: Thor & Cap
Last year, Marvel Studios delivered perhaps the most memorable moment of Comic-Con International: San Diego 2010, by debuting the entire primary cast of Avengers during their Hall H panel. Don't expect a repeat performance.The Los Angeles Times reported today that there will be no Hall H presentation from Marvel Studios at this year's event, saying that due to the busy schedule of actually filming the movie, the studio "wasn't prepared to compete with its own past and wild fan expectations." Earlier this month, The New York Times reported that Warner Bros., Disney, DreamWorks and The Weinstein Company were all skipping this year's Comic-Con as well — meaning no The Dark Knight Rises or Man of Steel panel. The Times speculates that Marvel Studios may be holding back due to their parent company's event in August: Disney's biennial D23 Expo, this year scheduled for Aug. 19-21 in Anaheim. The studio will still have a presence at Comic-Con, with a booth on the convention's exhibit floor. Captain America: The First Avenger is scheduled to open the Friday of Comic-Con. Several studios are still planning on Hall H presentations, including Sony promoting 2012's Spider-Man reboot starring The Social Network actor Andrew Garfield. Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

Ulster can flourish by focusing on own game, says Wiehahn Herbst
If Wiehahn Herbst was a more ego-centric sort, he'd perhaps chuckle at how his return to the Ulster side has brought about an upturn in fortunes.
For all the talk of Ulster's inconsistency this year, they've won three in a row, each with a bonus point, since the burly tighthead returned to the side.
But while the mood in the camp has improved dramatically since his comeback, coinciding as it did with taking 15 points from 15 available, interviews with the 28-year-old remain much like his playing style - no nonsense and strictly business.
As such, his take on the bonus-point win over Zebre last time out strays little from the party line.
"There were a lot of positives to take out of it," he said of a performance that was very much good enough to get the job done in Parma, but not of a quality to impress onlookers.
"It was good that we got five points out of the game.
"Tommy Bowe got his 150th cap, David Busby made his debut and scored a try and it was good to have Jared Payne back on the field.
"So there were a lot of positives for us to take out of the game but there are also a lot of work-ons and that is what we are trying to put into place for this weekend.
"As a pack I think we did well. The scrums were solid, we scored a maul try, and it is always a challenge for us as a pack against the Italian sides because they like their scrum and their driving mauls.
"I think we stood up well as a pack but there are a lot of work-ons for us.
"We gave away a few silly penalties and there were some dodgy scrums that we didn't have control of."
Herbst's own outing in the Italian sun was short - he was subbed little over half an hour into the contest - and he admits his comeback from a series of season-disrupting injuries remains a work in progress.
"Personally, it has been good to get back into the game," he said. "The first one was against Edinburgh, then off the bench again against Glasgow the week after.
"I have a few work-ons after the Zebre game for sure.
"Especially for me as a prop, in that kind of game it takes a few seconds for you to feel your legs again.
"It is games like that you just have to push on through."
Ulster will find themselves in a similar position taking on Treviso this week.
With only Zebre between their fellow Italians and the foot of the Guinness PRO12 table, Ulster will again know that even a convincing win won't necessarily impress.
Although the message from the players this week would perhaps indicate they are more results focused than anything else, they will again be expected not to only win, but do so playing the kind of rugby that lit up the Kingspan Stadium when they were last there against Glasgow Warriors.
With that in mind, and with another talented back-line set to be fielded, Ulster's pack will know they have to win the battle up front against what will be a physical visiting unit.
"As forwards we expect that every game, it doesn't matter who we play," Herbst said.
"The focus is more on us. We know we have a quality back-line so, if we can give them good ball, they will do what they can.
"I think we can expect the same from the Italian side this weekend, it is going to be a physical forward battle for us.
"But they are two different teams and they bring different things to the table, for us as a team it is important to focus on us and the basics."
While the PRO12 will be the only show in town this weekend, the focus of the rugby world of late has been centred on the Six Nations with Herbst having kept an eye on the progress of Joe Schmidt's Ireland.
The native South African will qualify for his adopted home on residency this summer, with a contract that now runs until 2019, and has been name-checked by the national set-up in the past.
For now, his goals involve an Ulster jersey.
"I have watched some of the Ireland games and they are doing well, as are the England side, so it is going to be interesting to see who is going to win the Six Nations," he said.
"Playing though is the last thing on my mind at the moment.
"For me, it is just to get back playing for Ulster then to get my match fitness up so I can play better for longer."
Ulster will have one of their current Irish internationals return to provincial colours this weekend with Andrew Trimble set to play some part on Friday.
The Kingspan captain hasn't played for Ulster since the defeat to Bordeaux-Begles in January but made a return to action in the national side's Six Nations win over France last weekend.
His comeback will continue against Treviso, where Craig Gilroy and Jared Payne should also feature, although Iain Henderson, Rory Best and Paddy Jackson will all be held out by the Irish set-up.
Back-rower Marcell Coetzee will return, however.

Bloody Roar 4
Bloody Roar 4
This is a story in the future, not so long from now... It is discovered there are mysterious people who have capability to transform themselves into a beast figure. "Something mysterious which has been latent in their genes", related to the formation of figure and capability of various animals, awakes one day suddenly due to anomalies. They are called "Zoanthropes," but few people know their extraordinary potentialities. Under such circumstances, some researchers have found that almost all of us equally have the gene in fact that could "beastorize" ourselves. A special information code is contained in this gene, and this information code is called <
>. It is considered that only those whose trigger has been activated can transform into a Zoanthrope.

Storyline of
Bloody Roar 4
During the XGC (X-Genome Code) Incident one year ago, at the same time that riots raged over the beasts that did not show the XGC, all over the country small earthquakes shook the land.
The cause was not known, but as the Crest Incident came to an end and the rioting and earthquakes subsided, people began to claim that all was due to the influence of the Stone Seal.
Now however, although the Stone Seal has been locked away, the rioting and earthquakes have returned. And this time, the incidents are on a larger scale than those of a year ago.
What could be behind it all?
"Gaia" and The Unborn
Throughout time life forms on this planet have continued to evolve and prosper. But it is also true that there are many life forms that have become extinct, unable to evolve. How exactly is this decided? Is there something on this planet that has the power to influence the future of these life forms?
Mankind thought of earth as a single giant life form able, through its self-balancing nature, to preserve an ideal natural environment for the life upon it. This life form was named "Gaia".
Mankind also called the life forms taken by Gaia through natural selection, as well as the life forms that would have survived had they continued to evolve, "The Unborn".

Cleft Lip and Palate Awareness Week is a chance for the CLAPA Community to spread the word and educate the general public about a condition that is still not very well known. Even though three babies are born with a cleft every day in the UK, many people haven't heard of the condition, don't know what it means, or still use outdated and offensive terms like 'harelip'.
With your help, we can raise awareness of cleft lip and palate as well as vital funds for CLAPA, and we can make ignorance about cleft a thing of the past.
CLAPA is a small charity with no government funding, and we rely entirely on donations and grants from generous members of the public to continue with our work. Like many other smaller organisations, the current economic climate is making things difficult for us. If you would like to make a donation or even organise an event of your own such as a coffee morning or cake sale, visit the Fundraising section above for more information.
Raising Awareness
We want you to use Awareness Week to make CLAPA and cleft lip and palate as visible as possible in your local communities. Whether you can put up a few posters or use the opportunity to tell your personal story to friends and colleagues, every little helps! We have a number of resources available to help with this, but if you've got an idea of your own then please let us know, as we'd love to hear from you.
If you live near London, Brighton, Manchester, Sheffield or Derry, why not join us on one of our Sponsored Walks? The entry fee is £5, but there is no minimum sponsorship requirement and each walker gets a free t shirt. These simple and family-friendly walks are the perfect chance to meet others locally who are affected by cleft, and with the locations we've picked the scenery isn't bad either!
Focus: Bullying and Self-Image
This year we have chosen to focus on the problem of bullying, which is something many people with a cleft have dealt with while growing up and even in later life. Having a cleft lip and/or palate can sometimes mean you look or sound different to your peers, but being different doesn't mean you should have to put up with other people picking on you. Check out our resources under the 'Bullying' section of the microsite to see what you can do to help.
Our patron Carol Vorderman says: "CLAPA benefits thousands of families affected by cleft lip and palate every year and needs funds in order to survive and continue providing vital services. I would encourage as many people as possible to help out during Awareness Week."

Oil stable as investors shrug at OPEC crude restraint bid
The price of oil remained stable on Monday October 22 as investors kept a close eye on efforts by producers of crude to forge some form of pact to put a floor under the market.
The price of a barrel of Brent North Sea crude for December delivery fell by $.17 to $21.18. New York's light sweet crude November contract closed Friday at $21.83 dollars, $.52.
Market players are watching closely efforts by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to produce some form of initiative to rescue prices, which have fallen more than 20 percent since last month's terrorist attacks on the United States.
OPEC wants rival exporters outside the 11-nation club to fall in line with measures of restraint to help prices, but the non-OPEC countries such as Norway and Russia have shown few signs of enthusiasm for such an idea.
Russia's oil chief Igor Yusufov said on Monday after talks with Hugo Chavez, president of OPEC member Venezuela, that Moscow had no plans for a cutback. "For the moment we are working to maintain the price range, and there is no question of reducing production," Yusufov said.
The London-based Center for Global Energy Studies (CGES) said attempts to persuade rival exporters to help, as they did when prices were as low as $10 a barrel in 1999, "seem unlikely to succeed."
In its monthly report, the center said this meant OPEC had few options to take effective action, and oil prices were likely to settle into a new, lower range as a result. The center said demand in industrialized countries had "collapsed" with total consumption in the fourth quarter of this year expected to be one million barrels per day lower than previously forecast before the events of September 11. It said OPEC faced an unenviable dilemma.
"It needs to cut output further if it is to keep oil prices within its target price range, but in doing so it will lose market share and further delay the global economic recovery that is needed to boost oil demand growth," the CGES said.
"Oil prices, however, have already fallen to a level that threatens the economies of oil producing countries -- especially Saudi Arabia, which requires an OPEC basket price of at least $20 a barrel to meet current expenditure. The OPEC basket price stood at $18.91 a barrel on Friday. — (AFP, London)

is prenatal ultrasound?
Prenatal ultrasound uses sound waves to create a picture of your fetus (baby) on a special TV screen. This picture is called a sonogram. It gives your clinician information about the structure, size and movement of your fetus as well as the number of fetuses and the location of the placenta. Certain pictures are printed onto film and checked by a specialist. It is recommended that all pregnant women be offered an ultrasound in their 18th week of pregnancy as a part of routine prenatal care.
prenatal ultrasound safe?
Prenatal ultrasound has been used for more than 25 years. There does not appear to be any danger for either the mother or fetus from ultrasound. No radiation is used.

The growth pattern described here is recognized medical information and is fully documented by scientific research.
Day 20: Foundations of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system are already established.
Day 21: The heart begins to beat.
Day 28: The backbone and muscles are forming. Arms, legs, eyes and ears have begun to show.
Day 30: The heart is pumping increasing quantities of blood through the circulatory system.
Day 35: Five fingers can be discerned in the hand. The eyes darken as pigment is produced.
Day 40: Brain waves can be detected and recorded.
Day 42: The liver is now taking over the production of blood cells and the brain begins to control movement of muscles and organs.
Week 7: The embryo begins to move spontaneously. The jaw forms, including teeth buds in the gums.
Week 8: At a little more than an inch long, the developing life is now called a fetus-- Latin for young one or offspring. Everything is now present that will be found in a fully developed adult. The stomach produces digestive juices and the kidneys have begun to function. The fetus' body responds to touch, although the mother will not be able to feel movement until the fourth or fifth month.
Week 9: The fetus can squint, swallow, and wrinkle its forehead.
Week 11: The fetus is about two inches long. Urination occurs.
Week 12: The fetus now sleeps, awakens and exercises its muscles energetically-- turning its head, curling its toes, and opening and closing its mouth. The palm, when stroked, will make a tight fist.
Week 13: By now, you can tell if it's a boy or a girl.
Month 5: The ears are functioning and there is evidence that the fetus hears quite a bit-- such as the mother's voice and heartbeat, as well as external noises.
Month 6: If the baby were born in this month and given the proper care, he or she would survive.
This information has been provided as a public service, in support of the scientific fact that life begins at the point of conception.
Parable: Someone gave our family a brand new luxury car with every accessory listed in the owner's manual. It was equipped with a V/8 engine and wasn't exactly an economy car. And, it was so long, we can't get the garage door down. Since it was such a gas guzzler and we had no place to store it, we decided our family couldn't afford this luxury car. Therefore, I parked it at the edge of a cliff, put it in neutral, and pushed it onto the rocks, 100 feet below.

Of course, it takes more intestinal fortitude to adopt than to abort. When you abort, you just have to sign a form, make arrangements to pay the bill, and surrender yourself to the anesthetic.
When you surrender a child for adoption you have to be willing to do the following:
Take good care of yourself and the baby during the first 9 months.
Make sure you have the full agreement of all involved family members.
Covenant with yourself and all family members that this adoption will be totally anonymous. After all, if you were considering aborting your baby, you had to be willing to never see or touch the baby or even know the sex. Instead of flushing your baby down the four-inch pipe, you will be surrendering him/her to two pairs of loving arms.

Not all women who have abortions are affected in the same way. Some seem to have no regrets about choosing abortion and have no apparent signs of emotional or physical aftereffects. Other women may feel some remorse or regret which they try to shut down. After all, they chose that legal, safe procedure, so why should they feel so badly? Some clues that a woman might have some post-abortion remorse or regret are:
Struggling to turn off feelings and memories connected to the abortion
When abortion is mentioned in public, having a physical reaction, such as tightening stomach muscles, clenching jaw, or holding breath
Not wanting to talk about it, even in the most abstract way
Difficulty with intimacy
Uncomfortable around pregnant women or babies
Depressed, sick or accident-prone at certain times of the year that coincide with the anniversary date of the abortion or the month in which the baby would have been born.
The ultimate life/choice bumper sticker
After Conception -- Life!
From THE PASTOR'S WEEKLY BRIEFING, Vol. 11, No. 36 -- September 5, 2003
"Adopted children are more likely to have parents who are older, married, wealthier and more educated than children raised by biological parents," according to a special report released last month [August, 2003] by the U.S. Census Bureau. The report, "Adopted Children and Stepchildren: 2000" (www.census.gov/prod/2003pubs/censr-6.pdf), was based on data from the long form of the 2000 Census, which, for the first time, asked households to identify children in the home as adopted, natural-born or stepchildren.
The study revealed that 2.1 million adopted children and 4.4 million stepchildren lived in US homes in 2000. Together, these children represented approximately eight percent of the 84 million children in US households in 2000. Of the adopted children living at home, 1.6 million were under 18.
Other highlights of the report:
Only 13 percent of adopted children were born outside the US
International adoptions increased from 7,000 in 1990 to nearly 18,000 in 2000.
Nearly half (48 percent) of the foreign-born adopted children were born in Asia, with 57,000 (22 percent) coming from Korea alone.
percent of adopted children were born in Latin America and 16 percent in Europe.
Of households with an adopted child, 76 percent list their race as white, 15 percent African American, and Asians and other races make up the difference.
It is significant that the Census is even asking about adoption. "Clearly, adoption is alive and well in America today," said Thomas Atwood, president of the National Council for Adoption. "No adopted child should feel alone."
As a nonprofit organization, Focus on the Family relies entirely upon donations to sustain its various ministries, including THE PASTOR'S WEEKLY BRIEFING.

Hello Passionate Inkers!
Some of you may be wondering why the Passionate Plume and Stroke of Midnight contests haven't been announced. I posted on the PI forum a few months ago that the time lines for the contests have changed. Here is just a reminder of how the contests will work for the foreseeable future.
The 7th Annual Passionate Plume and Stroke of Midnight contests will open for entries in mid-March. The first round of judging will begin in May. The finalists will be announced in June right before the final round judges receive their entries. The final results will be announced at the Passionate Ink party at the RWA National conference in July.
I am happy to announce that our very own Harlie Williams has agreed to co-ordinate the Stroke of Midnight contest this year. Thanks for stepping up Harlie!
If you have any questions, please contact me, or Harlie, at:

Cement Australia will spend A$30m over three years to knock down two smaller silos and build a larger one, increasing overall storage capacity at the Devonport wharf. Loading facilities would also be expanded.
A shortfall in Cement Australia's current storage capacity last week cost the company A$30,000 a day in charges while a ship waited to load bulk cement.
Cement Australia general manager supply chain Murray Adams said the A$30m investment showed the company had confidence in the Railton plant's long- term future.
Mr Adams said work would start in 2011 on the staged replacement of two 2000t silos with one the size of the bigger silos.
"Upon completion of the project, Cement Australia will have three 10,000t silos. Additionally, there will be an upgrade to the rail offloading facilities, which is expected to be completed in 2013," Mr Adams said.

Shortly after Garth Tagge and Jim Melley were killed last Saturday in a horrific wreck during a top-speed shootout in Maryland, ambitious shootout competitor Ron Szolack—who had earlier in the week announced plans to run his 36-foot Skater catamaran to 220 mph—announced he was backing off. A respected and well-liked member of the high-performance powerboating community, Szolack made his announcement on this website.
While Szolack was just getting his 2017 shootout plans rolling, Win Farnsworth, Kenny Mungle and Jason Parvey are three of its best-established, marquee players. All three are rethinking their participation in top-speed shootouts after the loss of Tagge and Melley, two veteran competitors who approached the sport methodically and increased their top speeds during several years of competition.
Farnsworth, who runs Low Altitude, a 50-foot Mystic Powerboats catamaran powered by twin 1,800-hp turbine engines, said he's done.
"To me, it's just not worth it," he said. "Every time something happens, my mom calls me and she's crying. She spends days crying. Everyone wants more and more speed, and we just can't keep up with it. The only way to stop it is to get out of it. I'm not adult enough to (compete in shootouts) and hold back.
"I'm not getting out of high-performance boating," he continued. "I just need to find another avenue to enjoy it and entertain people. I don't need to be going 200 mph. Maybe I'll get a 48-foot MTI catamaran and 42-foot Hydrasport center console, paint them to match and keep the (Low Altitude/Team Farnsworth) vibe going."
Mungle, who in the 32-foot Gone Again Skater cat with 1,550-hp Sterling engines is pushing the envelope more than most, is on the fence about his future in shootout competition.
"Honestly, I need to think about it some," he said. "My wife came to me yesterday and said, 'What if I ask you not to do this anymore?' I said, 'I have to think about that,' but I know I have to respect her wishes. She didn't ask me not to do it, but she did say, 'What if?' Those were my buddies (Tagge and Melley) who died. It makes you think about what you're really doing this for. As Win (Farnsworth) says, 'Is an eight-dollar trophy really worth it?'
"I need more time to think about it, where we go from here," he added. "I don't know what I'm going to do at this point."
Parvey, who ran in a 43-foot Black Thunder V-bottom to a jaw-dropping 165 mph with his father, Dennis, handling the driving and throttling duties during this year's Lake of the Ozarks Shootout in Central Missouri, hasn't decided what he and his father will do next year. But they're leaning away from competing again.
"We're just kind of taking in the events of last weekend," he said. "My father and I have talked about it a little bit. It's not in stone yet, but even before last we weekend we had several people tell us we should probably stop where we are. The unfortunate thing is we really feel we have a lot left in the boat. But if you make a change and the boat doesn't like it at 170 mph, you're in a world of hurt. I haven't really discussed it at length with my dad yet, but if it were up to me I'd be content with where we are.
"I didn't meet Garth and Jim until this summer, and we got to hang out with them," he added. "This has definitely dealt a big blow to shootouts as we know them."
