text: Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Condemns Boston Bombings Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 16 Apr 2013 post a comment More: Muslim Brotherhood Egypt's ruling Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement on Tuesday condemning the Boston Marathon bombings, claiming Sharia (Islamic law) did not condone violence against civilians and rejected "any means" of terrorizing people. According to the Associated Press, the group's political arm issued a statement expressing "condolences to the American people and to the families of victims, with hopes for a quick recovery of those injured." The group also said claimed that Islamic law "firmly rejects assaults on civilians and doesn't accept any means of terrorizing people, regardless of their religion, color, or gender." "The sinful assaults in Boston ascertain the necessity of solidarity of the international community in efforts to achieve justice and well-being for all nations and communities, and to ensure that these crimes don't take place again," the statement read.

While stacking up the petroleum jelly for dry skin and cracking lips, it is essential that we pay attention to our eyes and the organisms that may want to attack them, writes Rita Ohai
AS the rainy season gradually gives way for harmattarn, there is a gradual increase in the amount of particles flying in the air.
Among these particles are pollen grains, bacteria and viruses which serve as irritants for the eyes. Irritants which may cause a disease called conjunctivitis, popularly known as Apollo.
According to global health organisations, conjunctivitis is the second most common eye infection in Nigeria.
Ironically, Apollo became a popular nickname owing to a legend which lists the causative microorganism as part of the living things that rode home with the astronauts from the moon on the APOLLO spacecraft in 1969.
Defining the eye condition, Dr. Bruce Akpanogho, an optician, explains, "If someone's eye is red or bloodshot and inflamed, they may have conjunctivitis or what we popularly call 'Apollo'. This is because there is an irritation of the conjunctiva, which is the membrane that covers the white of the eye and the inside of the eyelids.
Continuing, Dr. Akpanogho said, "Within this membrane, there are tiny blood vessels that get enlarged when the conjunctiva becomes irritated with a foreign particle, bacteria or virus. The enlarged blood vessels make the eye look red and sometimes itchy with pains."
Although the thought of red eye causes anxiety in most patients, it is, however, not an uncommon dilemma. Usually, ophthalmologists can determine the cause of an Apollo by the way the eye looks and the symptoms produced.
Highlighting a few ways in which the disease may manifest, Bruce says, "If a person has a cold and suddenly develops red eyes with little or no discomfort, it may be viral conjunctivitis. If the eyes get red and itchy at the onset of the dry or harmarttan season, it is probably due to allergic conjunctivitis.
"On the other hand, the ones caused by viruses and bacterias tend to start in one eye and make their way across to the other after two to five days. However, if the irritation stays in one eye only, it's possible that a foreign body or chemical is causing the irritation," he finished.
Other symptoms may include an increase in the amount of tears dripping from the eyes, thick yellow discharge that forms a rough crust over the eyelashes, especially after sleep, burning eyes, blurred vision and a higher sensitivity to light.
To protect ourselves from this uncomfortable experience, experts say that maintaining proper hygiene such as frequent hand washing is very necessary in minimising transmission.
Dr. Eunice Alegbe of Health Sinai Clinic said, "With regards to conjunctivitis, proper hygiene can help reduce the risk of infection. For example, if someone in your household has apollo, they need to make sure that they wash their hands often and thoroughly. ''
She further stated that, "The minute there is proof that somebody around us may have a pink or red eye, we would have to start avoiding direct contact with that person so that there is a limit to which the infection will spread. Sharing towels, clothes, pillowcases or make-up with the person can be dangerous."
While many believe that the regular use of the right eye drop will cure this ailment, other medical professionals are of the view that the irritation experienced by the eye can only be cured by identifying the cause and avoiding it as much as possible.
According to a pharmacist, Julia Igbinovia, "Most of the things we take drugs for can actually be tackled by the body's immune system under the right conditions. Many times, people just put all sorts of things in the eye in the name of treatment which will eventually damage the eye.
"Some people who have come down with eye problems today," she stated, "are people who should not be suffering from these things in the first place because the eye drops contain steroids. Therefore, the more effective a drug is, the harsher it will be on the eyes and the harsher it is, the more dangerous it becomes."
Giving advice on how conjunctivitis should be handed, Igbnovia said, "The smartest thing to do is to try and avoid the thing that you suspect is causing it. After you have done that, improve your nutrition so that your body can naturally fight for you. It is only after you have done this that you can now use medication prescribed by a qualified doctor and make sure the doctor explains why he or she is giving you that drug in the first place."
To relieve the symptoms of Apollo, medical practitioners suggest the following:
Protect your eyes from dirt and other irritating substances.
Avoid the use of makeup, but if you must use it, do not share eye makeup with anyone.
Don't touch or rub the infected eye, rather wash your hands often with soap and warm water especially after applying the eye drops or ointment to your eye or your child's eye
Wash any discharge from your eyes several times a day using a fresh cotton ball or paper towel. Afterwards, discard the cotton ball or paper towel and wash your hands with soap and warm water.
Keep the bed sheets, pillowcases, and towels clean by washing in hot water and detergent.
Switch all the contact lenses for normal eyeglasses because of the high level of irritation the eye feels each time the lens is placed on the eyeball. It is also wise never to wear another person's contact lenses so that the infection is not aggravated.
Food for the eyes
IT is generally known that exposure to the sun is very bad for the eyes. Similarly, if we use the computer for long hours, it also harms our eyes. Adding to these, we constantly hear that smoking is also bad for the eyesight. But what we rarely hear is that we can take care of our eyes with a healthy diet.
There are many foods which are good for the eyes. Here is a list of the best foods for the eyesight;
Carrots: Vitamin A is very essential to maintain good eye health. As carrots contain antioxidant beta carotene which helps to main good eye health, it is a good choice for having Vitamin A.
Besides carrots, we can also have cabbage and lettuces which are also good sources of Vitamin A. Lack of Vitamin A can cause night blindness.
Spinach: This is also known locally as Ugu leaves. It protects eyes from eye diseases. A carotenoid called lutein which is found in spinach protects eyes from cataract and macular degeneration.
Fruits: Fruits such as kiwis, oranges, wolfberries are full of Vitamin C. As you know Vitamin C eliminates free radicals that cause damage to the eyes.
Soy: It contains essential fatty acids, phytoestrogens, vitamin E and natural anti-inflammatory agents that are good for the eyes. Soy products like soy milk, soy beans, soy yogurt are good for eye health. Olive oil and corn are also good for the eyes as these contain good amount of Vitamin E.
Garlic: Garlic is an excellent food for improving eyesight. It contains sulfur that helps in making the lens stronger and resilient. Onions are also rich with sulfur and good for the eyesight.
Apricots: Apricots contain Vitamin A which relieves eyes from the damage done by the free radicals. It also contains carotenoids which is responsible for better vision.
Eggs: If you are an egg lover, then it's good news. Eggs are very good for the eyesight. Eggs contain cysteine, sulfur, lecithin, amino acids and lutein. These also protect eyes from developing cataracts. However, try not to take more than one egg a day for cholesterol
Salmon and Sardines: Omega-3 fatty acids are good for the eyesight and they can be found in fishes of this nature.
Dark Chocolate: Many do not know this, but dark chocolate contains flavanoids which protect blood vessels of the eyes. As a result of that, cornea and lens stay strong. One point should be noted that dark chocolate needs to be pure to get the desired result.
Besides the above mentioned foods, there are many other foods which are very good for the eyesight. For instance, grapes and lemon are very good source for good eyesight.

Marc Poppcke is one of the most prolific and talented producers in the Berlin house scene.
He has an incredibly unique sound and what he has put together here is nothing short of essential for people who are into melodic and tech house samples. As usual the artist series brings you a little bit more than a small artist pack, this thing is huge..
Marc's sound sits firmly in the after hours deep house area but it is unafraid of using some of the melodies and sounds of pre-trance/ early trance and techno from the 90′s. Incorporating the Melodic as well as the deep, you will find the blueprints for soaring riffs and hypnotizing synth work alongside raw and rhythmic beats all produced in such a way as to make them instantly usable within your own productions.
NDS-7 epitomizes the sound of Marc's label Crossfrontier Audio. He is one of the most talented producers around right now, and with this collection of tech house samples, we get not only a labour of love but a snapshot in time of one of the most forward thinking artists there is. As the club sound moves ever on-wards, this is a pack which keeps you on the bleeding edge of what's ripping up clubs right now.

"great pack of tools from a great producer, will use it for sure, thanks & good luck"
Oli Furness (Music Is Love)
"This pack is great, definitely useful in many different aspects for me and will be kept with all my other no dough samples in the folder called "TO USE"
Daniel Solar
"Lots of great sounds in there. I especially like the fx and music loops. Will use it for sure!"
"Over the past few years I have found these drums becoming the backbone of so much of what I do, well recorded, lovingly processed and of the utmost quality"
As you know we try to offer a little bit more in our packs, more choice and more options for the producer but not quantity over quality.
We like to provide quality of choice whilst sticking to the high standards we hold ourselves to here at NDSamples. By taking this more comprehensive look at what an artist's pack fundamentally is, we find you end up with a much more inspiring pack to work with, having more tech house samples to manipulate helps bring inspirational ideas together easier even if it takes a little more effort to put together.
Marc's characteristic production shines through in all his loops and shots, there is no filler here. Working from his studio in Berlin Marc not only runs the Crossfrontier Audio label – he is also a very highly sought after remixer, a lot of labels out there rely on him to bring that touch of class to their releases. This is what this pack is meant to represent, and archive that bring the essence of the sound he is passionate about to your DAW.
Marc's own Crossfrontier Audio label
New Review 7.5/10
No Dough Music, the quintessential platform for all things music production-related, delivers the second edition in their artist packs, which has been compiled by Berlin-based producer Marc Poppcke (known for a series of wild cuts on labels such as Freerange, bloop and Vivid amongst others). Centering heavy around melodic and deep standalone samples and a wide variety of pre-made loops, the pack has become a strong addition to the already quite expansive NDS product portfolio but first and foremost a rich resource for crafting raw, pumping but melodic club tuneage.
What's included
- 500-96000hz Professional Quality Wavs
- 320 – Loops covering bass, Drums, Music, Percussion and Tops
- All loops tagged with tempo and key info

text: Winning is such a successful feeling. I think everyone would agree to wish they had a picture like this when everything else in the world did not matter. At this very moment in my life there was no negative emotions, no hurt, no pain. Even though i had just broken a finger during our cheerleading routine, it did not matter. Our team came first out of near 100 other teams. We were national champions. We were nothing but happy. How many people have this moment in their life captured by a photograph? One moment where nothing else mattered. No drama. Very rare.

Waterford – Dominion announced today that it has hired a new vendor to provide security services at the Millstone Power Station, ending its 29-year contract with Securitas.
The company has hired G4S Regulated Security Solutions, a Jupiter, Fla.,-based company that provides security services worldwide. Richard Zuercher, spokesman for Millstone, said the contract with Securitas was due to expire, so Dominion sought competitive bids. G4s offered to provide the services at a lower cost and also submitted a detailed plan to "enhance safety and error-free performance for its safety officers," Zuercher said.
The size of the security force at the nuclear power plant will not change, he said. He would not disclose the number of guards. G4S is expected to hire 80 to 90 percent of the guards who had been employed by Securitas, which has offices in downtown New London, and would fill the remaining positions with replacements, he said.

Will Groupon's Loss Be Amazon's Gain?
Jacob is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Investors in online deals company Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) had a roller coaster ride after earnings as the company posted wider losses in the fourth quarter. The company posted a quarterly loss of $81 million in the latest three months, up from the $65 million reported in the same period of 2011.
The recorded loss came despite revenue increasing 31.3% to $638.3 million. It's not that the market had no inkling of the poor results, but the fact that the financial performance fell short of street expectations resulted in a 24% drop in stock price in a single day.
What happened after these disastrous but not entirely unexpected results is nothing short of a high-pitched drama. The results put the board under pressure to fire quirky chief executive and co-founder Andrew Mason, who had been with the company for more than four years.
The move was seen as a positive development for the company and marked an end to the era underlined by controversial accounting techniques and deep drops in the share price. The company's stock price has tumbled more than 75% from its IPO price of $26 in November 2011.
"The events of the last year and a half speak for themselves," Mason wrote in his departing notes to employees. "As CEO, I am accountable."
While Mason's misplaced confidence is well documented, there is little doubt that his departure is not a solution to Groupon's problems. The company's real problem is its business model, which is ludicrously simple to replicate with very low entry barriers.
While Groupon's solution initially seemed to favor both merchants and customers, the market began to understand the flaws only after the company got listed. Following Groupon's record breaking success with group discounts, it was inevitable that it would be followed by its competitors.
What ensued was intense pressure on margins, which forced the company to get into direct deals – a marked departure from Groupon's original strategy of just connecting buyer and seller and taking its cut for doing so. The move into direct deals brought the company in competition with Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and eBay.
Amazon playing catch up
Almost simultaneously, Amazon sensed the potential in daily deals and online coupons. Unlike Groupon, Amazon's view recognizes that daily deals is a viable business, although the margins seen earlier have been permanently eroded now.
In retrospect, Amazon's bet on the business through its Amazon Local service and the substantially controlled LivingSocial site appears to be better placed with multiple lines of business and a proven business model enabling the company to withstand unwanted surprises. Interestingly, Amazon has written down a part of its investment in LivingSocial, but the update was no deal breaker when Amazon reported its results in January.
Amazon Launched Amazon Local in early 2011. Amazon Local is a local deal platform that uses both LivingSocial sourced deals as well as Amazon sourced deals. Based on Living's Social's Statement of Operations analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch think Amazon Local remains in investment mode and will likely not see significant profitability for several years. Assuming Amazon local is between 5-10% of the scale of Living
Social, they estimate Amazon Local will generate $45mn and $65mn in revenue in 2013 and 2014.
EBay a tough competitor
eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) has also proved to be tough competition for Groupon since it announced its Lifestyle Deals section in October last year. The online merchant has taken to social media in a big way by incorporating Facebook-like features in a bid to boost revenue from its services. Traditionally, eBay has focused on products, but understands the transition to services is a critical one.
eBay is rolling out a more robust search functionality and enhancing the personalized shopping experience. On the merchant side, eBay is creating an omni-channel approach for small businesses, helping brick & mortars leverage their stores base with location based services, eBay Now! and buy online pick up in store features The BRIC countries represent the next phase of growth, where pent up demand should be captured from localizing the shopping experience and enabling global shipping.
Similar to Amazon, eBay has formidable and profitable operations to internalize the initial losses generated by the group deals business. Facebook was also among the adopters of the daily deal businesses, but has since abandoned its efforts here.
Foolish bottom line
Like any growing industry, the daily deals business is evolving, and it is too early to say Groupon has lost the bet, although any negative publicity is only going to push its customers to Amazon and eBay, both of which have the means and the intent of growing this business.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Highly recommend their preschool program for kids with special needs. My son with HFA was made to feel a part of the class, hit all his IEP goals, made friends, and Admin was AMAZING! Open door policy from principal to teacher. My son began the year unable to speak, not potty trained, and somewhat behind in social skills. Together, working as a team with my full support and his outside therapies, he finished the year: -talking -fully potty trained -able to initiate conversations Highly recommend this school for parents with kids on the spectrum, which is 1 in 100 kids these days.
My daughter have had very good teachers since 1st grade. It's been a good experience at this school, however, I would like it to have more activities and parent involvement.
Excellent Preschool Program for children with Disabilities! Helps kids with special needs get the skills necessary to join their peers in kindergarten!
My son's teacher was outstanding. Very involved in my son's success. Sadly I felt ignored by the administrated staff, and believed they were very offstandish to me, when presenting questions regarding my son.
My daughter's teacher is great. She is very involved in her planning and in ensuring that my child is getting a good education. The only gripe I have is that the front office personnel is rude. They act disinterested in their job and in the parents. I feel like I am interrupting their day every time I go into the school.
The school is great, the teachers are great, the only thing that we don't like very much is the personel in the cafereria. The cashiers are rude, unprofesional and unfriendly.

The soundtrack from The Hunger Games reads like a year-end list of the best indie acts: Arcade Fire, the Decemberists, Neko Case, Glen Hansard, Taylor Swift…OK, maybe not that last one, but it's a still a pleasant surprise that Arcade Fire, who are otherwise taking a break from making new music, were asked (by T-Bone Burnett) to contribute a song to a movie that will likely gross over $130 million this weekend. Here are eight other great original songs that appeared in otherwise unassuming films.

Detailed 6-Day Forecast

Technical Discussion:
In the wake of low pressure moving east of Maine, a steepened pressure gradient results in some breezy conditions today. Temperatures should remain below average with 850mb temperatures around -10 to -11C. As high pressure noses in overnight, skies remain mostly clear, winds slacken off and temperatures should drop back into the teens. Interestingly enough, this may be the coldest night for at least a while...
Sunshine is expected to start the day before clouds increase Friday night. The overnight period looks dry, but the models bring some very light precipitation close to the SW corner of the state after midnight. Will keep the forecast dry for now.
Saturday is an interesting day as light precipitation is expected to break out, but high pressure lingers along the eastern New England coast. Some light wet snow or even rain could fall as temperatures rise into the mid and upper 30's. Accumulation is not expected during the day, but the night is another story...
Models are in fair agreement for a wintry mix Saturday night. The coastline warms enough to change to all rain, but the very challenging aspect of this forecast is nailing down the interior. The GFS is the warmest, with very little accumulation around from the Massachusetts border. The Euro is colder, but keeps most of the heavy snow confined to just the high terrain of NW and NE sections. The NAM is the coldest, with the 12z and especially 06z runs showing a troubling forecast...both maps indicate the potential for 12"+ in the northern hills and even accumulating snows down to interior southern Connecticut...
The forecast graphics will remain the same, but keep in mind that details are very important. A slight shift in temperature, even just a degree or two, will be the difference between heavy, wet snow, a wintry mix and mainly rain.
Precipitation tapers off as snow Sunday morning, especially near the Massachusetts border. That's where there could be several hours of snowfall, even if northern Connecticut does switch over to a wintry mix or even rain.
Skies clear for Monday before clouds increase ahead of the next system on Tuesday.
Today: Mostly sunny, breezy and chilly. Highs in the low to mid-30's.
Tonight: Mostly clear skies. Lows in the teens inland, around 20 shore.
Friday: Sunshine followed by evening clouds. Highs in the upper 30's to around 40.
Saturday: Wintry mix to rain, especially on the coast. Highs in the mid to upper 30's.
Sunday: A wintry mix or snow in the morning, windy. Highs in the mid to upper 30's.
Monday: Mostly sunny skies, seasonable. Highs in the lower 40's.
Tuesday: Clouds on the increase. Highs around 40.
Note: Inland temperatures are an average. Often times, outlying areas may be a few degrees cooler than the advertised temperature on the 6-day graphic.

New players, new coaching staff, new GM… the changes that went on around Thrasherville this summer have certainly created quite a buzz among the Atlanta hockey fan base. And who better to discuss this buzz in the air than the on-air personalities of the team…TV play-by-play man Matt McConnell, analyst Darren Eliot, radio voice of the Thrashers Dan Kamal and John Kincade who will join the TV team to provide reports from rink-side and the locker room.
The four are excited to get this season underway and they're eager to see how the offseason modifications will play out over the course of the coming months.
"I just think there's a real hockey feel around the organization these days and that's been brought about through the changes we have seen in the off-season", McConnell told me. "I'm interested in seeing how all of the new pieces fit together as we open up the season. This is going to be a roster with a lot of interchangeable parts. The team has at least a half dozen players that can play more than one position".
Overall team depth is also a plus for the Thrashers as Matt points out.
"Defensively, I think this is as deep as we've seen in 11 seasons", he continued. "I'm also excited about the goaltending. Chris Mason has won 57 games over the past two seasons and Ondrej Pavelec should only get better and better. I also think the team will have a strong core of players at AHL Chicago, thus providing depth for down the road".
As for McConnell's partner on TV Darren Eliot, he'll be looking to see how the players assembled will fit into the schemes of the new coaching staff.
"I'm enthused about the players brought in and witnessing the process of the team coming together as they fit the vision and plan of the new coaching staff".
John Kincade says he's not only pumped about getting another hockey campaign underway, he's also hyped about working with McConnell and Eliot. That, plus he's happy to see this organization making steps toward creating some type of identity…something that he thinks is long overdue.
"Other than rejoining one of the best NHL broadcast teams in the NHL, I am excited about the Thrashers finally making an attempt to establish an identity. For years the focus has been on stars and the team never had a definitive style. I think this team will take some time to round into shape, but it will be easy to see what they are attempting to be".
This is a sentiment shared by the man who has been a part of the Thrashers since day one back in 1999, the Grand Kamalian himself, radio voice of the Thrashers Dan Kamal.
"What has me most excited is the evolving identity of this team, as well as the style of play coach Ramsay and his staff are implementing", Kamalian explains. "The Thrashers are a bigger, faster team, and I believe they're going to be a tough team for opponents to handle. And I'm anxious to call the games of a team that wants to go, go, go".
Obviously the new coaching staff will have a major impact on what this team can accomplish this winter. Ramsay and Co. are just as big a part of what has Thrasherville talking as do the new players.
"Ramsay is one heck of a teacher and his knowledge of the game and strategies should go a long way in the development of a roster that's likely to be one of the younger ones in the league", says McConnell. "I have yet to read any comments from a player who's had him as a coach that hasn't been anything but positive. Ramsay and John Torchetti understand what it takes to win the Stanley Cup and Mike Stothers is a guy that has NHL experience from his days in Philadelphia. So I think each of them will leave their marks on this roster".
"Sure, the roster has been greatly upgraded, but it remains young", McConnell continues. "So I think it was a great move to bring in a teacher like Ramsay. It should be a fun story to watch throughout the season".
Kamal agrees and is happy to see Ramsay, Torch and Stothers behind the Thrashers bench as well.
"I've always thought Craig Ramsay was one of the best teachers in the NHL", Kamal says. "I've known Mike Stothers since he was a young Flyers prospect and have always thought of him as an excellent student of the game. And John Torchetti is one of the rising stars in the NHL coaching ranks, as his role with the Stanley Cup champions can attest".
The question is, however, can these guys take all these new players and get them to perform as a team quickly? Kamal believes they can.
"I think the biggest hurdle for this staff is going to be getting so many new players to implement new systems quickly enough and effectively enough that the team can get off to a good start and grow from there. I believe this staff is up to the challenge".
McConnell also feels Ramsay is the right man for this job adding, "The key to this team and their hopes for a playoff spot will be how quickly they can pull everything together. I'm confident Craig Ramsay and the coaches will be able to do that".
But it isn't the sole responsibly of the coaching staff to provide a quick adhesive to this unit. The players will need to do their part.
"It takes everyone to have success, but in the end it is always about the players", Eliot explains. "I think this staff truly believes and understands that sport truism".
Continuing his thoughts about the players that will be on the ice wearing Thrashers jerseys, Darren is curious to see how some will adapt to new roles.
"As with any season, there are plenty of story lines to follow. In general, player 'slotting' has been intriguing to me: Byfuglien on D, Little in the middle and Thorburn also at center. I've also noticed how much Bogosian and Kane have played in their pre-season games. Certainly a substantial move up, particularly for Kane".
McConnell picks up on this issue adding, "I'll be interested to see how Dustin Byfuglien does at his natural position as a defenseman. He's got a cannon for a shot and should get plenty of chances to fire away".
Kamal points out that success here also depends on the forwards getting along without Big Buff on the front lines. "Like the rest of the hockey world, I'll be keeping an eye on the Dustin Byfuglien move back to D. If the Thrashers get adequate production from their forwards and Byfuglien can be the consistent force many believe he can be on the back line, it should be a heckuva season".
However, Byfuglien is just one part of the whole defensive corps that he feels is much improved over the past years.
"I'm also looking for Zach Bogosian to rebound in a big way after battling injuries much of last season", Kamal goes on to say. "And I think Johnny Oduya will be an even greater contributor on the blue line in his first full season with Atlanta".
McConnell also looks for Bogosian to have a good year, "For the majority of last season, he played hurt", he recalls. "If he can stay healthy, it'll be fun to watch him from an offensive standpoint as one of those defensemen jumping into the play as a four-man unit Ramsay is looking to develop".
Much of Kincade's attention will be focused on the two men that will be between the pipes for Atlanta this season, Chris Mason and Ondrej Pavelec.
"I am most interested to see the goaltending tandem and how this is going to play out. Pavelec has shown glimpses of being a solid NHL goaltender but he will now fight for playing appearances behind Chris Mason. I want to see how Pavelec responds to that challenge and the stability that Mason has afforded teams in previous stops".
McConnell feels Pavelec must find a consistency in his game, but having Mason to handle the bulk of the starts will help him towards that goal.
"Chris Mason has proven to be a consistent winner in the past while Pavelec has been brilliant at times, yet needs to be more consistent", he said. "Dudley has said in the past that Pavelec is as good as any goaltender in the league 50% of the time and that they need him to be that way 75% of the time. All in all, the storylines will run deep to start the season".
Focusing attention to the forward lines, there are several players and situations that have Dan Kamal jazzed about this season.
"I'm very intrigued to see how Bryan Little handles the adjustment back to center. I think with his speed, he's going to adjust quickly and productively. I'm also interested to see the impact a young veteran like Nigel Dawes can have on the team. I think he's a very underrated guy who does a lot of things well and can contribute offensively. In my opinion, Ben Eager and Chris Thorburn will play substantial roles on this team. They're both big and fast, can chip in on the offensive side, and will make life miserable for opposing defenses".
Continuing, Kamal says expects several players to build off of last year's successes. "I'm expecting Andrew Ladd to tap into his offensive potential with increased ice time; I'm looking for a fabulous second season from Kane, and I'm confident Niclas Bergfors and Rich Peverley can build off very solid seasons".
Dan Kamal also believes that there is a decent blend of veteran experience to go with the plethora of youthful talent on this team. "I'm very curious to see what impact young guys like Burmistrov and Pettersson can have, and I'm hoping Freddy Modin can bounce back to his usual 20+ goals now that he's healthy".
McConnell as well likes having the soon-to-be 36-year old Modin on this squad. "I'm also interested in watching the impact Modin will have on this roster", he said adding, "Rick Dudley often gushes about Dave Andreychuk, whom he had on his 2004 cup winning team in Tampa. And all summer long, Dudley looked to add a veteran to the roster. Modin is that guy. He's big, he's a leader and as of today, he's healthy, not to mention he's a pretty good penalty killer".
Lastly, one unknown factor that any team faces is player injuries. All feel it is important for Mason to remain healthy and give the Thrashers a stable presence in the net. But Dan Kamal also points to Nik Antropov, who performed so well in his first season as a Thrasher, to help lead the Thrashers offense…health permitting.
"To me, though, one of the biggest factors is the health of Nik Antropov. If he can get back to 100 percent very early in the year, I think he'll be the offensive leader he was last year".

Are we dooooooomed to go 0-82??? The lack of being able to hold a lead in the 3rd period is disturbingly familiar.
October 2nd, 2010
11:00 pm
I swear, we may not score 120 goals this season….
October 2nd, 2010
11:01 pm
Thrashers = NO SCORING! That will be the biggest downfall this year. They will hustle, they will play D, but they will not have anyone who is the "go-to" guy when it is late and they are down by one goal. They will average less then three goals per game.
October 2nd, 2010
11:46 pm
Interesting quotes. Believe it or not, I liked some Kincaid's quotes best of all, about identity of the team and goaltending.
My fear with this team … is that they won't come together in a meaningful way until December. I hope there's enough schedule and points left for them to make a run at it. One thing I'm sensing … is the minor-league habitus that surrounded this team … is slowly being replaced by a look and feel of a real NHL franchise. And that is good to see.
October 2nd, 2010
11:49 pm
BaldheadedThrasherFan, you're entered at 89-points, 2nd in SE division, and 8th in the Conference.
October 3rd, 2010

I had the Thrashers at 91 points, 2nd in SE, and 8th in the East.
Also had Modin for the over.
October 3rd, 2010

So, is the new mantra, "the team is forming an identity" or "the players are starting to gel"?
October 3rd, 2010
3:26 am
There are some good things in there. Great article! I think it's time for several young Thrashers to take the next step – Little, Kane, Bergfors, Bogosian, Enstrom. There's a good mix of young and old veterans with the proven success and experience needed to lead. Stanley Cup Chicago is not far removed from where this team is now. It's why I believe the Thrashers will make the playoffs and make some noise this season.
October 3rd, 2010
3:30 am
I am not sure how well this team will get out of the gate, another loss today…
I will say the Thrashers will get 85 points and finish 10th in the east

Cornbread, if those guys you mentioned don't step up, we are in for a long season. and i aint talking playoff long either.
October 3rd, 2010
8:45 am
I think the biggest thing right now, other than the obvious lack of scoring, is on ice leadership. You want this team to gel? Pick a captain. I believe that as long as you have a bunch of A's skating around without a C, you're just going to have a bunch of U's, and U is for Uncertainty. Who is the player who most personifies the team identity you're trying to establish? Who is going to lead the charge? Who is the "go, go, go" guy? Forget about contracts, forget about last season, forget about next season. Slap a C on this guy's sweater and let him lead the way.
October 3rd, 2010
8:59 am
Lack of scoring… need more legit top 6 forwards… I wish someone had thought of that this summer.
While I still hope for a pre-season trade for a scorer from one of the cap strapped teams, this is a building year. I'm aiming low and hoping for much better: 77 points, 4th in SE, 13th in E.
October 3rd, 2010
9:07 am
Not worried. Not worried at all. It's preseason, and not only that but half of our team is new. It's going to take more than 6 games to get used to systems and stuff. I think once we get into the groove of things, we'll be a pretty solid team….
Drop the puck

We've yet to see anything resembling a final roster this preseason. Or even regular line combinations. I'm not worried about the record.
However, October is rough… I won't be surprised for a bad start.
October 3rd, 2010
10:08 am
Brendan- I'm still trying to get caught up on my blog reading, but go ahead, and put me down for 91 pts, 3rd in the division, and 8th in the conference.
October 3rd, 2010
10:18 am
Good luck today Rawhide. Thrash will be OK but it will take 82 games for them to determine their destiny.
October 3rd, 2010
11:09 am
I'll take Modin for over, too.
October 3rd, 2010
11:19 am
I think the issue Rammer is going to have to deal with most is asking role players to do multiple things. A guy that can play responsible defense, finish checks and score is called an all star. Role players can do one thing at a time. Hence the title role player. Give them a role and they're good. Thorburn is a good example. The guy can play physical and push the forecheck. He's responsible on D. He can even score. But he can't think about 3 things at once. When the guy crashes the net thinking about scoring, he forgets defensive responsibilities. When he's physical against the wall finishing checks and shutting down the other lines, he's not at the net looking to score. And when he's forechecking like a mad man he wears himself out. Jarome Iginla can do all those things at once. Iginla is an all-star. Chris Thorburn is a role player. Rammer has a roster of role players. A roster he has committed to teaching to do multiple things, all at once, at NHL speed. The guy is a great teacher but I don't envy him the job he has before him nor the timeline to manage it this season. I do however, look forward to watching it.

I guess I have to be the one to remind that the clowns referenced in the article are, , PAID by the organization.
Yep, that means their statements and a dollar get you a cup of coffee.
Soon, the mantra will be patience, as we have another "Five-Year Plan" just beginning…Any self-respecting player will want to get the heck out of here, given the complete lack of care proven TIME and TIME AGAIN by the ownership group.
Believing otherwise is just fantasy. Stop the delusion, I beg of you…and stop the subsidization of the incompetence…It's on you now…
October 3rd, 2010
11:33 am
Well at least SOB is already in midseason form, LOL.
I think the goals will come once the season starts but no one should expect them to come at the 3 per game clip of the past few seasons. The success of this year's Thrashers will be determined by closing the gap between GF and GA this year. That and the SF and SA stat too.
October 3rd, 2010

Trade for Iginla.
We'll start slow but the boys will come together by Nov.
Oh, and FU SOB.

Nice topic today Blogmaster. Enjoyed the column. I hve a question for you and the regulars.
Last year the Thrashers G/G was 2.80 and tied for 11th best in the NHL with Dallas. The season before that it was 3.05 and was 9th best, 0.01 behind Calgary. If I had to set the over/under bar for this year's G/G production, it would be 2.55.
Would you take the "over" or "under".
I'll hang up and listen.
October 3rd, 2010
12:20 pm
Nice write-up, as usual. Did these guys have any comments on the lack of a TV schedule?
October 3rd, 2010
12:22 pm
SOB Now that is funny. A better acronym could not be found, I can now laugh each and every time I see him post……thank you. I am not concerned about this team. I think it is going to be a fun team to watch. If the effort is there I will be happy. An honest, hard working group of players and a coach that makes them all accountable will go a long way in my opinion…..2 keys will be Mason and Antropov and how well they can hold up…. 10-8-10 is just around the corner, FINALLY!
October 3rd, 2010
12:22 pm
Great comment by biscuit, very insightful, and well defined for the readers. I, too, am really looking forward to this season.
To be honest I currently see this team as mirror reflection of Nashville,….. good & entertining,…but not true contenders. (I would love to have this roster & coaching prove me wrong.) Being good enough to make the play-offs should allow us to progressively creep closer to the payroll cap,…and contention, in future years. I'm hopeful we are in year 1 of a, say, 3 or 4 year trajectory to become serious contenders (Once again, how do you define a fan?). That assumes we are able to keep the best of our current assets, including the GM and coaches.
Strozer,..good to see you Wednesday eve,…sorry to have missed Bill T (aka Rawhide to blog longtimers).
If my military ticket discount comes through for opening night,… I'll be in section 221 and will look you up.
Brendon, despite my apparent optimism above, please put me down for 87 points, 4th in the div and 10th in the conference.
Bill,… if your tax exemption is anything like you,..the USAFA should be honored to have his interest. (And there is a lot of good hockey close to Fort Collins.)
Ohhhh,…this week can't pass fast enough. Waiting for the puck to drop.

Those guys are paid by the network (Fox Sports South), not by the organization.
October 3rd, 2010
1:18 pm
Actually, Thrashers27, I think the only two that don't get paid by the Thrashers might be JK and MM. Kamal is the Director of Radio Operations (or some fancy title like that) for the team and Eliot is the Director of Community Hockey Development (IIRC).

Don't you have a bridge to go back under, Sage?
October 3rd, 2010
1:26 pm
I am looking forward to the final cuts, should be interesting to see if Boris stays or goes? I think he goes…there was talk early in the preseason about him but he has not played or been mentioned since.
Maybe the thinking is Modin wears the "C" this season, I would not be surprised.
The Hockey News had a list of top 20 by position and only two guys were on the list for this team, Defensemen #19 Tobias Enstrom and Left Wingers #18 Niclas Bergfors
October 3rd, 2010
1:34 pm
Bill, best of luck indeed! Hope ur eldest gets the oppty to attend such a prestigious academy. Wow, Air Force! How cool is that??
rob – I think you are right on point. Antropov's hip may be the key to our season. If he can't be effective and score 20-25 goals and dish out 35-45 assists, it could be a very tough season. But if one thing is certain, Ramsay knows how to squeeze blood from a turnip. Boston barely scored an avg of what? 2.25 goals per game last season and still made the playoffs? Then again, Mason is no Rask (but he's very solid when at the top of his game) and Bogosian isn't Chara, yet. Though I supposed Buff is a more apt comparison. If this team is more than 5 or 6 games under .500 and goals are at a premium, I reckon Buff will get moved to forward no matter how well he's playing on the blueline. We have the depth, but Kulda and Zubarev may not be ready for more than spot duty.
October 3rd, 2010
1:38 pm
Fla waived Michael Grabner! How do you figure he doesn't improve ur team? Too many guys on 1-way deals Tallon? Anyone wanna pick him up to bolster our depth some more with Slates banged up and Burmie possibly not ready? Although it looks like Dawes has cemented a spot w/ his play.
October 3rd, 2010
1:45 pm
Why in the world are some many of you focused on Modin? His wheels are now questionable and he's getting pushed around too much. Thrash will struggle to 85 pts, 10th in the East.
October 3rd, 2010
2:45 pm
Right, Jason, in those capacities they are working for the organization, but in their broadcast duties they are working for their respective networks, or stations.
October 3rd, 2010
2:50 pm
Smoothie, I know virtually nothing of this Grabner. Tell more about him. Sell him to me. I am listening.
Re: Sage. People … really listen for a moment. Why do you let Sage of Bluesland bother you so much? Why? Okay, you don't like his comments. Ignore them. Everybody has the right to an opinion. That's in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution. It's not going away, unless some entity overthrows the government. Or the Rapture comes. Here's an alternative plan. Every time you read a Sage post, bite into a red bell pepper. Chew. Then swallow. Everyone would feel healthier afterwards. And Sage's comments wouldn't bother you so much.
October 3rd, 2010
3:00 pm
Flagstaff, you're entered with "over" in the Modin contest.
Jimbo and Sisu, you both have entries of 85-points and 10th in the Conference, but neither of you selected a SE divisional finish. If you don't mind, please enter one. The SE Division rank is the FIRST TIE-BREAKER criteria. Conference Rank is the SECOND tie-breaker criteria.
Jameson, you're in at 93-points, 3rd in SE, and 8th in the Conference. Good luck.
Thrashy Thrashy, you're entered at 91-points, 2nd in SE, and 8th in the Conference.
HookyBob, you're locked-in with 87-points, 4th in SE Division, and 10th in the Conference. Good luck.
Badger Bob, you're officially entered at 77-points, 4th in the SE Division, and 13th in the Conference.
East Point Bob, you're entered at 60-points, 15th in the Conference, but no SE Division finish. Please select a SE Divisional rank, if you don't mind.
Nate, you're entered at 78-points, 4th in SE, and 13th in the Conference.
LAC, you're registered at 71-points, 5th in SE, and 14th in the Conference.
Flagstaff, you're entered at 88-points, 3rd in SE, and 7th in the Conference, in addition to the over on the Modin guess.
Tom, you're entered with 97-points, 2nd in SE division, and 5th in the Conference.
Hopefully, I haven't missed anybody.

3:15 pm
sorry, 2nd in SE
As to Antro, i am not sold on him being the key to this team…I am still on the fence how he will do this season. I think more likely it will be up to Little and Bergfors, if they tear it up then the team will be in the post season!
October 3rd, 2010
3:45 pm
Brendan- That was 91 points.
October 3rd, 2010
3:49 pm
Mr. Brendan – Please register my entry for 79 points, 4th in the SE, 13th in the conference.
It appears that it may take awhile for this team to get with the new "go-go" system. I think they will start too far down in the standings and will be unable to make up the points later in the season. I also am not very confident that Kane, Little and Bergfors will step up their game this season. This is a re-building year.
Also I'll take the "under" for Modin (both goals and games).
October 3rd, 2010
4:12 pm
Rawhide, good luck to your son; he must be an intelligent, well rounded young man. Though USAFA is an inferior school to the USNA, the price is certainly right for the parents! See you opening night.
October 3rd, 2010
5:14 pm
SOB!!!! HA! That is great!…and fitting!
He is what is he is – a fair weather fan who knows nothing about the sport.
October 3rd, 2010
5:22 pm
Jameson, my mistake. I corrected it. You're in at 91-points, 3rd, and 8th.
Sisu, you're now in at 85-points, 2nd, and 10th in the conference.
Curly, you're in at 79-points, 4th, and 13th. Plus, you're registered for "under" in the Modin contest.
October 3rd, 2010
5:26 pm
Brendan – may I be entered at 81 points, 4th and 11th?
I feel really good about the coaching hires and somewhat positive about Dudley. This prediction is for fewer points than last year, yet I think by the last 1/3 of the season (barring major injuries) we'll see a much improve team that will set up nicely for 2011-2012.
October 3rd, 2010
5:26 pm
We have twelve (12) votes in the over/under contest for Modin. It's split, 6-6, at present.
October 3rd, 2010
5:28 pm
Polskidawg, you're registered at 81-points, 4th in SE Division, and 11th in the Conference. Good luck.
October 3rd, 2010
5:33 pm
Best of luck to your boy, Rawhide.
October 3rd, 2010
5:45 pm
Brendan, don't forget my entry…89 points, 3rd in the division, 8th in the conference. Thanks!

Dear Savvy Senior,
What can you tell me about clinical trials and how to go about finding one? My wife has a chronic condition and we're interested in trying anything that may be able to help her.
Looking For Help
Dear Looking,
Each year, hundreds of thousands of Americans participate in clinical trials in hopes of gaining access to the latest, and possibly greatest, but not yet on the market treatments for all types of illnesses. But, you need to be aware that clinical trials can vary greatly in what they're designed to do, so be careful to choose one that can actually benefit your wife. Here's what you should know along with some tips for locating one.
Clinical Trials
A clinical trial is the scientific term for a test or research study of a drug, device or medical procedure using people. These trials -- sponsored by drug companies, doctors, hospitals, and the federal government -- are conducted to learn whether a new treatment is safe and if it works. But, keep in mind that these new treatments are also unproven, so there may be risks too.
Also be aware that all clinical trials have certain eligibility criteria (age, gender, health status, etc.) that your wife must meet in order to be accepted. And before taking part in a trial, she'll be asked to sign an informed consent agreement. She can also leave a study at any time.
Things to Know
Before deciding to participate in a trial, you and your wife need to first discuss it with her doctor. Then, schedule an appointment with the study's medical team and ask lots of questions. Here are some to get you started.
�What's the purpose of the study and can it improve your wife's condition? You may be surprised to know that many drug or procedural trials are not designed to find a cure or improve a patient's health, but only to provide scientific data.
�What are the risks? Some treatments can have side effects that are unpleasant, serious and even life threatening.
�What kinds of tests and treatments does the study involve, and how often and where they are performed?
�Is the experimental treatment in the study being compared with a standard treatment or a placebo? Keep in mind that if your wife gets the placebo, she'll be getting no treatment at all.
�Who's paying for the study? Will you have any costs, and if so, will your insurance plan or Medicare cover the rest? Sponsors of trials generally pay most of the costs, but not always.
�What if something goes wrong during or after the trial and your wife needs extra medical care? Who pays?
�If the treatment works, can your wife keep using it after the study?
Find a Trial
Every year, there are more than 100,000 clinical trials conducted in the U.S. You can find them at condition-focused organizations like the American Cancer Society or the Alzheimer's Association, or by asking her doctor who may be monitoring trials in his or her specialty.
Or, use the National Institutes of Heath's website at clinicaltrials.gov. This site contains a comprehensive database of federally and privately supported clinical studies in the U.S. and abroad on a wide range of diseases and conditions, including information about each trial's purpose, who may participate, locations, and phone numbers for more details.
If, however, you don't have Internet access or could use some help finding the right trial, use the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (ciscrp.org). This is a nonprofit organization that will take your wife's information over the phone and do a thorough clinical trials search for you, and mail or email you the results in a few days. Call 877-633-4376 for assistance.

Achter Named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week
Achter, who is 2-0, has settled into the role of No. 1 starter quite well so far this season. Through five starts, the righty has an ERA of 1.83, which is second-best in the Big Ten. His 32 strikeouts are also second-best in the league.
Despite solid performances in his first three starts, it took Achter until his fourth game of the year to get his first win of the year. Achter got plenty of run support as he went seven complete innings in the Spartans' 17-2 romp over Jacksonville State on March 11 to get his first win.

Tourist Info Dobbiaco
Via Dolomiti 3
I-39034 Dobbiaco
Alta Pusteria - South Tyrol - Dolomites - Italy
Phone: 0039 0474 972132
Fax: 0039 0474 972730

VAT No. IT 00364950212

Walking paths around Dobbiaco
Dobbiaco Nuova - Dobbiaco Lake - Educational Path
(2 hours)
The hike starts by leaving the main road after approx. 100 metres beyonde the railway crossing and entering the Via del Lago lake path. Hike past the cross-country stadium "Nordic Arena" and the tennis courts over the bridge at the Saghäuser buildings and via a slightly ascending path to Dobbiaco Lake. The nature education path starts to the right. The path consists of 11 stations and invites old and young to discover nature. You'll receive detailed information on flora, fauna and geomorphology of the area. At some stations you can test your practical skills. From Dobbiaco Lake you can hike on the cycling path at Hotel Baur past the lake and back to Dobbiaco.
Dobbiaco Nuova - Source of Drava River - San Candido
(1.5 hours)
Leave the main road in the direction of Cortina to the left after Guesthouse Emma. The path with sign-post no. 28A leads in an easterly direction behind the Grand Hotel past the ForestWonderWorld of the Nature Park House through a larch forest in the direction of San Candido. At half way approximately, you reach the source of the Drava River. The path leads through the forest on to San Candido.
Water Treasures of Dobbiaco
Dobbiaco has various Water Treasures. The idea resulted from the abundance of precious water springing up in the immediate regions of Dobbiaco such as the source of the River Drau, one of the largest Rivers in Europe. Dobbiaco forms part of the great water divide between the Danube and the Adige (Etsch) Rivers. It is the place where drinking water is bled from two different but highly valued sources originating deep within the Lime Rocks of the Dolomites and from the ferriferous Primary Rocks of the Central Alps which help to stem the creation of two natural and notable lakes such as Lake Dobbiaco and Lake Lago di Landro/Dürrensee.
Along the Silvestro River to Valle San Silvestro (2 hours)
Before the Dobbiaco parish church follow the sign-posts to Valle San Silvestro and take the Via Silvestro road. A small path no. 1B leads through the forest to the right and along the Silvestro River to Valle San Silvestro. In order to reach the centre of Valle San Silvestro you have to walk on an asphalt road for about 700 m. On your way back to Dobbiaco you can take path no. 22 leading past the "Leitnstöckl" chapel to Dobbiaco.
Santa Maria Pilgrimage Chapel - San Pietro in Monte (2 hours)
From the pilgrimage chapel in Santa Maria the newly laid out (1996) Path of Reflection leads along several stations to the oldest religious sanctuary in Alta Pusteria: San Pietro in Monte. The stations along the Path of Reflection feature stone works with biblical interpretations. Descend from "Peterkirchl" chapel in a westerly direction through a forest path to the Wegscheiderhöfe farms and back to your starting point in Santa Maria.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stock gains on Thursday propelled the S&P 500 index SPX, -1.32% to its highest finish since December 2007 as upbeat jobs and housing reports offered respite from politics and other concerns. "The fact that housing is so robust is really good, and jobless claims were a lot lower than expected," said David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds. Both data points "show an economy with a fair amount of momentum going into the new year, and that's positive," he added. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.40% added 84.79 points, or 0.6%, to 13,596.02. The S&P 500 index climbed 8.3 points, or 0.6%, to 1,480.93. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -1.59% added 18.46 points, or 0.6%, to 3,136.

Choline is a water soluble B vitamin which can be produced in the human body, but natural quantities are often insufficient. Natural sources of choline include egg yolk, legumes, wheat germ, peanuts, and organ meats. Bitarate is added to the choline to enhance the absorption rate within the human body.
Choline is used to make acetylcholine which contributes to normal lipid metabolism, the maintenance of normal liver function and normal homocysteine metabolism which aids with cardiovascular function.
Choline Bitarate is recommended for anyone looking to improve body composition and reduce body fat levels.
As a dietary supplement we recommend consuming 500mg, 1 - 2 times daily.
Add 1 heaped MP mini scoop (500mg) to your preferred amount of water or fruit juice and consume immediately.
1 x level MP Plastic Scoop (mini) weighs 400mg (0.4g).
This product is 100% Choline Bitartrate with nothing added or taken away.

I got this Choline Bitartrate for the sleep benefits more than the fat metabolism. I take 1 mini MP scoop before bed and It definitely gives me a deeper sleep as I wake up more refreshed, but it does not help with getting to sleep. It also gave me lucid dreams which are quite fun. It mixes easy and tastes okay as well. Goes Well With:Water
It's difficult to establish whether the Choline Bitartrate did have effects e.g. the metabolism of fat. After 2 weeks of recommended use, I haven't seen any different fat loss results. However, Choline Bitartrate has definitely helped with sleeping, it has been letting me dream vividly and able to remember them too. It has a shocking smell though.
"Unfortunately I found that it gave me a really bad stomach (and diarreah!) which took a day to go. I tried it again just to make sure I could realistically connect the bad gut to the Choline, and again, I was unwell with it. However, at a very low does I was then okay. It was the 1g dosage that made me so unwell - maybe be cautious if you have a sensitive stomach. You should be okay (as other reviews support) with a smaller dose. My legs also felt weak with it and I felt quite light headed, but this passed relatively quickly"
Good product But if you take at least 1 gram per day may cause extreme diareea It would be nice if you would also sell Choline Citrate
"0.5 to 1 gram of this before bedtime has got rid of insomnia for me, no side effects (unless you count better outlook in life) and always well rested in morning. Dissolves quickly in water and tastes all right too."

"I used 100 mg of this stuff in the day and it made me feel pretty easy and relaxed. 100 mg at bedtime made me sleep fast. In the night I noticed it was quite 'sleep drunk' when going to the bathroom (more than normal). My legs felt a little weak both times I tried it. Seems to work nicely, but shouldn't be overdosed. Pretty sure it wasn't placebo effect, I know my body well. Anybody training on this? Might speed up recovery as parasympathicus (triggered by acetylcholine) controls regeneration..."

Lexi is a happy-go-lucky, water-loving, 9-month old German Shepherd mix! Lexi is a quick learner and would make an excellent agility dog. She even tried the tunnels at the dog park on her own. She enjoys morning walks, is housetrained and sleeps in a crate every night. She loves to play with her foster dog sisters and even gets to play with her foster cat brother. She is submissive when she meets new people and animal friends, but loosens up right away.Lexi is super smart and needs a family who can keep up. She does best with rules and structure and needs a strong, loving leader. Lexi is such a fun bundle of energy, she may be too much for small children.She's spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm negative and is on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. The adoption fee is $75. For more information, please contact her foster mom at email@example.com or call 817-694-5718.Last week's Pet of the Week, Milo, a handsome tuxedo kitten, was adopted. But there are many more friendly adoptable kitties available for adoption at the Weatherford PetSmart. The rescued kitties are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and on flea prevention and are ready for their new homes.You can meet our rescued dogs each Saturday at the Weatherford PetSmart from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., or contact Parker Paws at 817-694-5718 to learn more about available pets.
