Ready for the return of Magic City?
With the second season of Starz's hit drama returning Friday, it's time to catch up on what happened last season. When last we left Ike (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), he was arrested for murder, but he'll soon make bail and return with an agenda: oust Ben "The Butcher" Diamond (Danny Huston)! What else is in store for favorite businessmen and gangsters at the Miramar Playa Hotel? Here's a quick refresher of Season 1 and a sneak peek at what's coming up this season below:
Magic City returns Friday at 9/8c on Starz.

I think if Rypien or Hordichuk had a chance to play with a decent centre they wouldn't look nearly as bad as they did when they played with Ryan Johnson. I wouldn't have played both of those two guys on the same line in the playoffs but if you had a guy like Lapierre playing with a Hordichuk and a guy like say Taylor Pyatt.... that could be a decent - good 4th line.herb wrote:
IMO Gillis is trying to build a bottom six with speed, skill and two way play. When we had a fourth line that included "fighters" (Hordichuk and Rypien) it was a horrible experience that was dominated territorially and contributed zero offensively. Fuck me, that Hordichuk/Johnson/Rypien line was brutal. The current fourth line is miles ahead of that one.
Some targets MG would hopefully look at that are upcoming UFAs are Taylor Pyatt, Jordin Tootoo, Travis Moen or even George Parros.
A 4th line of Lappy, Moen and Tootoo would be a real solid line come post season.

Our Mattress Cleaning Procedure
We follow a well-planned and organised approach for mattress cleaning Rockingham, to bring you the desired results.
- Pre- Inspection- We will do an initial walk-through to identify any soiling and probable permanent stains.
- Pre- Spray – Our pre-spray contains anti-allergen properties and is specially designed for people with asthma and allergies. The solution is heated, then applied and gently agitated to achieve best results in dissolving oils, grease and spots.
- Extraction – Our high-tech truck mounts cleanse your mattress with warm neutralizer along with powerful suction reducing dry time.

Clean it created this cleaning system because mattresses can't be washed. Through high-frequency vibrations of an electronically controlled vacuum machine that adapts to any type of mattress dirt particles are first loosened within the mattress, then pulverized and vacuumed.

Mattress Dust Mites Treatment
Your mattress is most prone to dust mites infestation. If you observe that your nights are going sleepless and feel uncomfortable on your bed, chances are you can dust mites are on their work.

Emergency Mattress Cleaning Rockingham
In an emergency, our mattress cleaners work 24 hours in Rockingham. One mattress cleaning per year is suggested, but for people who suffer from allergies and asthma, a cleaning should be done every 3 months. To keep mites gone between mattress cleanings, Clean it Spray should be sprayed on the mattress before every change of sheets, until the next cleaning.
Even though we consider the yearly cleaning of the mattress necessary necessity, it is also vital to achieve constant sanitation and to keep away from the creation of mites and germs. Changing sheets, pillow-cases and bed-covers often is not a solution for this. In fact, they only cover the problem, until infested and that only takes a few hours. Bed-covers are not 100% impermeable, so micro-particles and mite excrement can pass through it. Unfortunately, a bed-cover that is impermeable to mites and allows transpiration does not yet exist.
Allergen Test: Before carrying out the procedure for our mattress cleaning Rockingham, we initially do a thorough analysis in our small laboratory to check the intensity of allergens present in your mattress. To pinpoint the level of sanitation and state of allergens, we do the same test. Within minutes test results from our micro-lab reveal the population quantities of mites and their excrement that inhabit the mattress.
After the mechanical cleaning procedure, the mattress will be treated with the biological Clean it sprays for mattresses and it will regain a fresh, clean fragrance. The Clean it System is not aggressive and is adaptable to most every mattress. It does not produce any noise or dust and is innocuous for humans and the environment. The cleaning procedure can be performed whilst the mattress rests in its bed-frame and it can be used immediately after.

In an effort to better communicate and display the files offered for download from the SF site we are planning to move MinGW files to a MinGW folder and MSYS files to a MSYS folder. The work is planned for the weekend of May 29th, 2010. If anyone is on the SF site viewing the list of files at the time they will be impacted by a new view when the page refreshes.
File list on SourceForge
Re: File list on SourceForge
Re: File list on SourceForge
I am sorry if this sounds like a complaint. I had developed a script to install the packages that I need, my script is broken given the new directory structure :(. I have about 50 packages that I download and install with my script. This script is part of a larger project that I maintain (4buntu). I tried fixing the script, but ran into a few problems. I can't find the new location of many the packages. Is there an index or map that can help me find the new location for the individual packages? Right now I have been manually navigating the directory structure on the Sourceforge download page, but this is tedious an inaccurate. I am also being impacted for the Sourceforge issue with Runtime package.
Re: File list on SourceForge
@jrvela: Doesn't Keith's response to Lars answer what you need to do? Also note that we're not completed with changing the directory structure. We're in discussion at the moment the subject of classifications for directory names that indicate what the directories contain. So you are more than likely going to be required to change your script again.
Re: File list on SourceForge
In reply to the comment of 2nd June, by lars, (which apparently does not exist for the purpose of posting a reply, even though I can see it quite clearly; I've no idea what is going on there -- another Drupal bug I suppose; perhaps Earnie will investigate it)...
The non-visibility of files within the MinGW/BaseSystem hierarchy is the result of concurrent maintenance work by SourceForge themselves; they broke it, so we'll just have to rely on them to fix it. Until their https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/11420 issue is resolved, we must consider https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files to be unusable as a download site; please use the Downloads link to the right as an alternative, (it points to our region of SourceForge's beta -- yet seemingly more reliable than their so-called stable variant -- https://sourceforge.net/downloads/mingw download site).

"In reply to the comment of 2nd June, by lars, (which apparently does not exist for the purpose of posting a reply, even though I can see it quite clearly; I've no idea what is going on there -- another Drupal bug I suppose; perhaps Earnie will investigate it)..."
Uh, no, the administrator needed to go to the comment approval queue and publish the comment.
Re: File list on SourceForge
It seems to me that this new view has led to a temporary unavailability of MinGW files - I can not see any files when I try to get them from MinGW -> BaseSystem.
Is this being looked into?
Re: File list on SourceForge
Work has begun toward making this happen. You will see a new look in the list of files that will tend to be more helpful. If you have suggestions then please use the mingw-users mail list to communicate them.

Alex Roehner romps around the room in her best crayon pajamas, "Use small words and carry a big ass skinhead," she smiles, a service mile of track sunk into the old skinhead she now wants to extend a quiet allegiance. "Hello, my friends," she writes as if she remembers the words of a song she never thought she knew, then quickly types out, "I meant friend in the singular, unless your voices are with you..."
"Allo! Admiring your boots. You caught me looking..." Virtuality, off the record I find myself thinking, is a keen instinct among particular early tribes of hunt and peck typists and rogue artists found in various regions of North America, but according to the latest statistics as compiled by a few former employees of Standard & Poor'svirtuality is not a new phenomenon, but has its roots in the early religious rites of ancient peoples whose archaeological traces can be found worldwide, although much disputed among professionals who chalk it all up as garbage characterlost and found, survival of the fittest, not the fattest, not the thinnest, but the fittestand not worth the investment of digging for clues as to why this rumor persists while bonding together many populations otherwise stuck on it like barnacles on a favorite whale. That former associates of Standard & Poor's are or might be involved in this study is still a mystery. Then I think again of Alex in her victorious boots. I saw pictures. I think I can smell them heel to toe all the way up the calf in all their splendor from here on this page, despite odors of wet cellar wafting up from the stink below. What can one expect from a place built in the 1740s with beautiful 12" wide planks but no sub-flooring...
"Ha! And I was just writing about things that go kick in the night earlier in the day," say I.
"I will write to you tomorrow," she promises. "My brain is coasting on beer at the moment and I can't lift my unabridged dictionary to aide me in a witty and verbose reply to your wonderfully worded correspondence. I love that you make me think without a drop of arrogance!"
"It's a trick I learned years ago when I created a Zen koan in the form of a question which goes like this: what's the difference between arrogant humility and humble arrogance?"
"One you can hear," she states.
"Your response flew right on past me. Come again..." I am genuinely stumped. But Alex Roehner is no stone in the horse's shoe.
"Arrogant humility must be verbally identified whereas humble arrogance is silent and deadly," she explains in a way I had never considered but made sense at this time of night, and as I write this, so I give her sway.
"Wait a minute. If you're buzzing on beer moving west at forty miles an hour and another bloke is buzzed on atomic fireballs traveling in the opposite direction at fifty miles an hour, which detail do you find most arresting? Nevermind. A joke gone astray. Back to the original koan. I think it is simpler than what you have suggested. Think about it." Here I am trying to get her to land on my square, the one I had picked out for her, but she had been too clever for that.
"Did I tell you about that the other day? My answer is for them to call each other a coordinate." Word games can get silly awfully quick.
"Arrogant humility is like a TV evangelist on uppers and downers and a few dancing girls on the side. Humble arrogance is like the lion with a thorn in his paw." I made my point, but I am intrigued by hers, because it does actually fit the model I had prepared, which leads us to the question, are all squares alike? "Tell me what the other day?" Now, she's lost me in the crayons again. "Not that I recall, and while I recall reams, I might be overlooking something. Please clarify."
"About the Jimmy leaving the station going east at 10 mph with 16 apples and Janey leaving the salon going north with a sack of potatoes. You will get my Alan Aldaish humor in a bit." This girl hangs low. I just love that about her. I wonder if she knows.
"No, just another one of those eerie synchronicities we seem to have going right now," I tell her, remembering something about how she was going to jump off until tomorrow tired and bleary, but we were, lighting fox tails strung to long sticks, and running through the naked woods with only words to keep us armed against the bouncing brown bears and their hunters stoked with large guns, and a license to kill. "That is to say, no, you didn't mention that tale."
"I was going on about it the other day. I am forced to take math so my buildings don't topple and I can calculate bending moments. The problem with math is there is only one answer. In English hell, I can make Jimmy juggle those apples while driving with his knees going in the opposite direction of traffic..."
"LOL! Well, Heisenberg might disagree with you, but for building, stiff calculus will suffice under most conditions. My rebuttal signals a slight twinge of satisfaction. But even on that spot, she ups the cost of doing business with a girl strapped to the gurney forced to inhale the forces that exist in a non-literal world taught to call itself literal.
"So will calling a structural engineer. Aha!"
"You've heard that science now suggests that observing an experiment can change the course of that experiment, right Alex? But don't scientists observe ALL experiments? I guess the key, and I forget this insidious detail, whether observation of an experiment will change the course of that experiment in a PREDICTABLE or UNPREDICTABLE way."
"Sounds like every word that leaves your mouth is history."
"Or history repeating itself, ha! Besides none of these words are leaving my mouth. I am typing." I pop her a good lickin' with that hit, I think. She's a slammer, alright.
"You're a funny man," she counters.
"Not only that," I type. "I paint pictures few can decipher, or even try. So I guess perfection is not as funny as math."
"But just as confusing."
"Just to be clear, said Confucius, before boarding the train, I have no seeds..."
"Where ever you go, that is where you will be, young grasshopper"
"Oh, that one's old, must be history repeating itself." We are both wearing thin, obviously, nervously fingering our crayons and our last few consonants in the stack we kept near the water tea glass, and Vitamin D pills I took because I never left the terminal long enough to get any sun.
"Or I haven't gotten there yet, wink wink." Another stinker, we're falling out of love with the words that brought us this far, now mere alphabet slaves to routine and obligation. I wonder if there will be a resurgence of energy, of creativity, of probing, thrusting, bouncing unfettered words strung out on string, made for you, played for me. I wonder.
"Oh, you're there alright." You're a buttercup solo in a runaway dandelion field, I murmur to myself, now, as I consider that night when we were living at the Farm. Those were good days. Too bad the old man had no vision. Being an old stuffy government lawyer got the best of him, so I add the next lines to deflect. "And that's me in the corner, losing my virginity. But only because I'm a Libra. And there is no way a Libra can be a free spirit. Am often called one, but they just don't understand the conflicted soul the way us Librans do."
"Thats funny most people say I'm not there, or home, either."
"Silly wabbits. Home is there."
"In a Westinghouse."
"Such an illustrious past, the Westinghouse name." And brand. Surely Alex is too young to remember that tagline from the days of black & white television. She's an inspiration, quick and rich in symbolic references that have specific meaning to me, even this reference to Westinghouse. I give her that. But of what long term use is she to me, or I to her? But I don't have the opportunity to follow up the Westinghouse gem, as she is flagged as offline. Ah, she's back.
"Sorry to flee momentarily but Ive been on this silly FB for a bit too long for one day. I have some serious thinking to do if I am to reply to my friend Gabe and discover Suess' dark side. Dream Grand."
"Okay, thanks for chirping in..."
"Chat tomorrow?"
"Most likely. Bye, and hang tough..."
"Which is safer than Hang 10."
"Especially when you've only got eight."
"Just know I'm smiling."
"Skipping all the way to the building that never falls down...somewhere...and it ain't over some ephemeral rainbow. Just so you know."
"The vision of you skipping with "Skip to the Loo" (haha) is well, well, worthy of some angry art. You are such an inspiration."
"Guess my work is done, he smirks." And I meant it. That was a playful exchange. It's getting late, but not too late to keep the lights on for the honey pot to catch the next fly...
"Meanwhile back at the homestead..."
Are you still here?
"No. Gone home. Clocked out and gone home." I presume Alex Roehner, the girl with the most curious hair I know (with nod to D.F.W.) is working from home. A minute has passed...
"Can't pull yourself away from the little screen?" I tease.
"Busted again," she types. But actually I was the busted one the first time these words were used tonight, or so I'd originally thought, busted for peeping her in her hip boots. But I carry on.
"Home is where my laptop is, tiny dancer..."
"Like a candle in the wind" To have both tapped Elton John was a subtle move, but I realize that in saying that I have be giving people the wrong impression. I can live with that. But, I was just a big fan for a string of four or so albums.
"Caught between the bull and his Picasso. The taxi girl and the sneaker in the rye. Forty secrets the Dali Lama failed to mention on his way down the mountain. Anyways. I'm gone. You take it away. We'll meet up again tomorrow." That's should up the ante. Can't wait to see her next move.
"I have a suspicious feeling this banter could be documented."
"Copy and paste into a text doc. Only way I've found."
"Naw, that's falling in the misconceived trap that genius is gone for good. DONT DO IT!" she cajoles. Surely she doesn't think I'm going to pay attention to that big fat lie. Documentation no way belittles genius. Nor suffers it lightly. Nor uses up all its eggs. As you see, I kicked against Roehner's grave wishes, for better or worse, and I trust she will be happy to bounce through this moment of time. Hell, that's what writers and painters do. They document. Enter the readers.
"Tom Wolfe's The Painted Word has a dilemma for you. On that topic, have you checked out Goodreads yet? No? Chagrin."
"Not yet. Tiny magnetizing screen remember? Oh, and Structural engineering class and new NY Sunday times x word puzzles. Trés busy á demain."
"Goodreads is simply a space where you post your own favorite literary experiences. You rate them. You critique them, et cetera, yada yada, dada. It's similar to Facebook and the two services actually interact but Goodreads is ALL about books, your books, and other people's lists. Take it or leave it. Wish it were around about fifteen years ago when I was trying to catalogue my personal library, and had few tools worth fussing over. Well, she's off the clock now. Time to turn the lights out, methinks. Bye dark angel..."

Traditional Chandeliers
Nothing says class and sophistication quite like a traditional chandelier. While they were once hallmarks of high class hotels and the houses of the rich, today traditional chandeliers can also be used to decorate much more modest spaces. However, it's important to choose a chandelier that flatters the space in which it will be hung.
There are no products matching the selection.
Don't Let the Chandelier Overwhelm the Room
Large chandeliers often act as the centerpiece of a room, so they ought to be paired with more subdued furnishings and design. Also be aware that the chandelier you are buying is not too big for the space in which you are going to hang it. Chandeliers are available in all sizes, so you can buy a modestly sized one if you have a smaller room to fill.
Choose the Right Space for the Chandelier
Dining rooms are the traditional home of classic chandeliers. Hanging a chandelier over the dining table adds diffuse mood lighting and atmosphere while enjoying a meal. However, chandeliers can be found that suit almost any room in the house. When hanging the chandelier over the dining table or whatever your preferred space is, make sure that you adjust it to the appropriate height.
Hang the Chandelier at the Right Height
When hung, the chandelier should light up the desired area but not be so low that taller individuals risk hitting their heads on it. Most chandeliers are adjustable so you can fine tune them until you find the perfect height for your space.
Choose the Right Number of Chandeliers
In large spaces - especially entryways and foyers, you can double up on chandeliers. While a single large chandelier in a two-story entryway to a home is often breathtaking, it may not provide the best possible lighting. Instead of a single large traditional chandelier, consider two smaller chandeliers that will light the area better and make the same powerful first impression.

Discuss in Forums {mos_smf_discuss:Wilson}
By Brian Wilson, CCNA, CCSE, CCAI, MCP, Network+, Security+, JNCIA
So you have a broadband connection at home or work and are wondering how it all works. Well I hope to offer a low-tech level explanation, so you will have a better understanding of how your connection works. Broadband services from cable companies or Multiple Service Operators (MSOs) are normally provided via cable modems and 90% of the cable modems are using DOCSIS (Data over Cable Service Interface Specification).
Basic Explanation of DOCSIS
So let's now look at what DOCSIS is and what is means. DOCSIS defines interface requirements for cable modems involved in high-speed data distribution over cable television system networks (definition from cablelabs.com). With DOCSIS comes the different versions (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, & soon 3.0) and the limits for each version. We are not too worried with the versions and limits between the versions as consumers, since we just want speed and security. But the important thing about DOCSIS is that it's a standard that protects the consumer and vendors by forcing interoperability and keep the cost of equipment down. If the modems were proprietary then the consumers would have to pay a very high price for the modem or would be forced to lease them from the MSOs. Most MSOs will allow you to use just about any cable modem that is DOCSIS certified. Now not all MSOs will do this since they have to support all the modems on the plant with firmware upgrades and other issues with support, but most of your well known modems should be supported.
Now for the CMTS & Node
Cable modems communicate with a device called a cable modem termination system (CMTS). The CMTS is a router that talks to all the cable modems and routes their traffic to the Internet or the MOS's backbone. There are a few different vendors in the CMTS market, but the most recognized is Cisco Systems. Cable modes are typically grouped into regional nodes. A node is most likely your subdivision but could be a smaller or larger area the MSO uses to support all of your services. The node is a fiber to RF converter that allows the MOS to send services to you area via fiber up to the point of your local service area, and then the services are sent over coax. The size of the node and number of modem customers in that node can make some difference in the speeds of you modem. With cable modems the node is your local access point, and the more users the less bandwidth available for all. Most MSOs over-subscribe nodes but try to make sure there is always 50% available bandwidth at peak hours. What this means is that if you are in a heavily loaded node, and everyone is downloading files, your service can slow some. With how competitive the ISP business is, most MSOs will try to not over-subscribe nodes too much without adding more nodes or splitting then.
Signal Levels and Splitters
Let's now look at the signal level needed to keep your cable modem online and surfing. Most cable modems have a signal range that they need in order to communicate to the CMTS. The signal levels can differ from vendor to vendor, but as a rule of thumb most modems work well from RX -10dbv to +10dbv and TX 40dbv to 56dbv. A lot of modem vendors provide an informational webpage or diagnostic page you can connect to on the modem to see the messages from the modem and it's levels. The diagnostic page's IP is different from modem to modem, but if you lookup your vendors modem specifications, you will be able to see if your modem has this diagnostic page available. Other things to keep in mind is that your cable modem should be on its own coax line from the cable audit box outside or from the main feed you get from the MSO. It's not a good idea to have your modem on a coax line with a lot of splitters due to each splitter having at least 3.5dbv of loss. And if you have to use a splitter, make sure you read the throughput ratings on the splitter. It should be at least 5-1000 MHz passthough.
Security on the Network
Other things to watch out for is the security of the node. Make sure other subscribers in your node are not able to see your computer and its traffic. This security issue is normally handled by encryption on the modems traffic to the CMTS. Most ISPs use BPI+ encryption to protect your traffic, but you should always use a hardware firewall/router off of any broadband connection. To test the security of the node you can open your windows network places and look to see if any unknown shares are listed. If there is no encryption in the node, and you're on the same subnet, you might be able to see other
user's network shares. This is bad if you have pictures or other sensitive data that you do not want others to see. Other things to know are that most MSOs will block ports to your computer network. This is for both their business goals and your protection. MSOs typically block NetBIOS, SMTP, port 80, and a lot of other various ports (business accounts may not have port filters). The port blocking is done mostly to protect the customers from viruses and worms that travel quickly over broadband connections.
I hope this basic look at cable modems has helped you better understand how it all works, and if you would like to find out more information about DOCSIS, CMTSs, or cable modems try to use Google.

Production was halted after 18 episodes, two shy of its planned 20-episode commitment.
Repeats of "Law & Order" will fill the Monday, 9:00/8:00c hour on May 3 and May 10 - "Trauma's" original finale date.

Each day this month, I'll be spotlighting a song that seems particularly appropriate for the Halloween season.
Don Dixon is best known as a producer for cutting-edge and power pop artists like R.E.M., Let's Active, and Marshall Crenshaw, but has also recorded his own work. "Praying Mantis" is on a 1985 album with the lengthy but truthful title Most Of The Girls Like To Dance But Only Some Of The Boys Like To. It's a tongue in cheek pop song that likens giving into sexual temptation to the fate of the male praying mantis, who is devoured by the female while they're mating. Backed by a catchy, finger-snapping arrangement, Dixon warns, "She bit off his head so he would not feel the pain./She wanted his body so bad she ate his brain." Featuring some twangy guitar, this 1960s style tune would be perfect to dance to at a Halloween party. But be careful!

"Where to buy eyeglasses near me?" you ask. Right here! We are as close as your mobile phone, tablet or desktop PC. FramesDirect.com is the premium online eyeglasses retailer for educated, upscale eyewear consumers globally. Unlike overpriced brick-and-mortar eye glasses stores and glasses competitors who focus on discounts, FramesDirect.com offers only the highest quality, designer fashion glasses frames and premium prescription lenses, but at affordable online prices.
FramesDirect.com was the first eye glasses shop to sell prescription eyeglasses online and the first to sell progressive lenses online, thanks to a proprietary mathematical formula developed by company co-founder Dr. Guy Hodgson.
What makes FramesDirect.com different? Quality is our number one concern, from the products we sell to the customer service we provide. In addition to having the world's largest selection of fashion eyeglasses frames, we are also proud to offer premium Essilor lenses, industry-leading lens coatings, and a 100% prescription lens accuracy guarantee.
Founded by eye doctors, FramesDirect.com was the first and remains the only place to buy glasses online that is staffed by certified opticians. Our expert opticians can answer any questions you may have about prescription glasses, from inquiries about prescription lenses and coatings to questions about spectacles frames and choosing the correct size.
The FramesDirect.com quality standard begins when we select only the best eyeglasses to feature on our site. Our demanding frame evaluation process has several steps. We will only consider eyeglasses that are well designed and that will please the customer with respect to both comfort and style.
In addition, all of our eyeglass products follow best practice manufacturing standards. We want to make sure that the eyeglasses we sell are well made and are durable enough to meet our one-year manufacturer's warranty.
FramesDirect.com only sells the absolute best, optical-quality eyeglass lenses available on the market today. We keep up with advances in eyeglass lens technology and always strive to offer our customers the best. For this reason, we use only the highest-caliber lens materials and hand pick all of the popular lens coatings, such as anti-glare and UV coatings, to ensure they are the best quality.
When you order glasses online from FramesDirect.com, one of our expert opticians will personally evaluate and review your eyeglass prescription before sending your order to the lab for processing. If we notice a potential problem with your order -- such as an incorrectly entered prescription or a frame on back order -- our certified opticians will personally call you to answer any questions and confirm the details of your eyeglass prescription.
Buying some great prescription glasses online is probably easier than you think. If you have any questions about your eyeglass prescription or need help choosing your eyeglass frames, please do not hesitate contact us at any time at 1-800-248-9427 to have a certified optician help you with your eyeglass order.
FramesDirect.com has some of the highest standards in the eyewear industry. We back up our quality-first philosophy by:
All of the online glasses we carry come with a 12-month manufacturer warranty. What does this mean to you, the eyeglass wearer? If an eyeglass nasal pad prong breaks or an eyeglass lens coating peels, FramesDirect.com will repair or replace your eyeglass frames or lenses for free under the warranty.
Today, shopping for eyeglasses online is easier than ever at FramesDirect.com. The first step is to determine your spectacles frame size, which has three components: eye size, bridge size, and temple size. Our Frame Size Guide offers several ways to figure out your frame size, including using your current pair of glasses or sending us a picture of your face to have your size measured for you. Poor fit is the number one reason that people return online glasses orders, so be sure you know what size you need before you start adding items to your cart.
Once you know your eye glasses size, you can start to consider style. The FramesDirect.com filters on the left-hand side of the eyeglasses page let you filter frames by styles, such as classic, cool/trendy, Face Shape Guide to determine which style of frames will work best with your face. To help you make your final decision, you can try on eyeglasses virtually by uploading a photo of your face to the FramesDirect.com Virtual Try-On tool.
After you've selected the frames you want, sending us your prescription information is quick and easy. If you don't feel comfortable entering your glasses prescription information yourself, you can simply send us a fax, scan, or picture (yes, camera phone pictures are fine) of your eyeglasses prescription. From there, our trained customer service representatives – who are also certified opticians – will enter your prescription information for you.
Different eyes call for different eyeglass prescriptions, and for either single-vision lenses or multi-focal lenses, which includes bi-focals, tri-focals, and progressive eyeglass lenses.
The lens material can also vary in eyeglasses. Plastic lenses are the most common and the least expensive. These eyeglass lenses can be used by people who need eyeglasses with light prescriptions, which range from no correction to +/-1.75.
Polycarbonate is a type of impact-resistant lens material. It is suggested for children, athletes, and people who engage in very active sports, such as skiing or snowboarding. This is the best choice for eyeglass prescriptions up to +/- 4.00.
Finally, High Index 1.67 is the thinnest and lightest of all the eyeglass lens materials. High index lenses are for people with stronger eyeglass prescriptions, and people who want thinner lenses for both style and comfort.
Recently, there have been many advances in eyeglass and lens technology that allow spectacles wearers to have both better sight and better-looking eyeglasses. Photochromatic lenses let you move seamlessly between indoor and outdoor use with the same pair of eyeglasses. New anti-reflective lens coatings are available that offer polarization against glare and also shield your eyes from UV rays. Progressive lenses offer seamless transitions to prescription eyeglass wearers from near to far vision.
When you think about eyeglasses, what comes to mind? Librarians? Einstein? Benjamin Franklin? This amazing invention, eyeglasses, has helped so many to achieve a better, safer, more productive life, but its birth was a long and rocky one.
Before eyeglasses were invented, imagine the frustration of being nearsighted or farsighted. As anyone who wakes up to a blurry world and gratefully puts his or her eyeglasses on knows, there is nothing more frightening than not being able to see. Squinting your way through the day, unable to drive or read, not recognizing a friend waving in the distance -- a typical life before eyeglasses. Let's take a moment to discover how this important invention came about.
At FramesDirect.com, you can find a wide variety of eyeglass styles, including cat-eye frames, aviators, wayfarers, as well as semi-rimless and rimless frames. The glasses come in traditional colors such as black, brown, and tortoise shell, but also modern colors like turquoise and cerulean and canary yellow. You can also choose from single- or double-bridge eyeglasses.
Even the frame material for eyeglasses is modern at FramesDirect.com. Aside from the traditional metal/titanium and plastic/acetate frame materials, plastic, eco-friendly glasses frame materials are now available, including plastics made from sustainable sources, like oil from castor beans. Natural castor bean oil is used in place of crude oil, so eco-friendly eyeglass frames are made with renewable resources and not fossil fuels. But don't worry; the eco-friendly plastic frames are as good-looking, long-lasting, and strong as regular plastic.
FramesDirect.com carries the biggest and best selection of the designer eyewear available online. It's easy to order prescription eye glasses from FramesDirect.com. You can search through hundreds of the top eyeglass styles online to find the perfect eyewear for your face and your personality.
If you're not 100% satisfied with your eyeglasses, FramesDirect.com offers a 30-day exchange and return policy from the day you receive your order. Additionally, our price-match guarantee will ease your mind that you are getting the best eyeglasses at the best price.
We are an authorized dealer for all of our premium brands, which means we only carry authentic eyeglasses brands and styles. Furthermore, as the leading prescription lens experts, we offer a 100% prescription lens accuracy guarantee. Finally, FramesDirect.com offers free domestic shipping on all prescription glasses orders.

Awesome Master with Views
|Spectacular Well-crafted Home on Private Island ( Hat Island is 4 miles out of the port of Everett). Built with the finest materials. View from 90% of home. 3 stone fireplaces. High vaulted ceilings. Private Den, Great room, Master with View and private Bath. Beautiful easy working Kitchen that opens to large entertaining deck.
All appliances stay with the house. Furnishings, boat and motor, quad, recreational equipment and auto are negotiable..Large wall around home for privacy.

The house is situated on Lot 20, leaving Lot 19 available for possible future construction. Septic was recently pumped.
Additional Assets
The home is built on a passive solar mass. The owner spent 12 months taking sun angles at various times of the year to establish efficiencies for a passive solar system for the home. It consists of a large mass of stone under the home, with a single pour solid mass of concrete over the top of the stone, integrating with a foundation pour, and a finish pour of stamped concrete. The eves of the house are angled and extended to maximize for use, the sun effects on the home. In the summer when the sun is high and in the north the sunlight penetrates the front of the home only, allowing the solar mass to stay cool and cool the home. In the winter when the sun is low and in the south, the sunlight penetrates to the back wall of the house to warm the mass and help warm the house. It works well as the owner has never had to leave the heat on in the home in the winter time if they happen to be away.
Concrete Wall at the Rear of the Property
Another feature is the concrete wall at the rear of the property. It is designed to protect the house in the event of a land slide.

The rear wall is 8 feet high, and 8 inches thick. The inside wall is 6 feet high, and 8 inches thick. They are connected at intervals by internal buttress walls of like construction. The wall was then filled with rock and topsoil and planted. The estimated mass is 440,000 lbs.
Bank Updates
At the base of the bank in the rear of the property the owner has placed eco rock, 2 high to maintain the toe of the bank. A ditch has been maintained that creates a reservoir for water runoff from the bank and is directed through a 10 inch pipe, under the road and out to the beach through the bulkhead.
The bulkhead is a monolithic pour over a rock base. There is a 4 foot footing on the water side of the bulkhead and and over pour of the rock linking it all with concrete. It also features a poured stairway to the water, an 8 foot wave splash apron with drain, and a large boat launch.
Recently Replaced Decks
The decks were all recently replaced with treated lumber framing, and Okumae wood nail less decking, using stainless steel hidden screws. All of the decks have a concrete underpour with connected drains directing the water out through the bulkhead
Recently Replaced Roofing
The roof was recently replaced with galvanized metal, standing seam roofing, along with matching gutters and downspouts.
Unique Fireplace
The fireplace is a unique construction featuring a triple fireplace with a single chimney. All of the rock was picked from the gravel pit on the island. The fireplace functions from the living room, the den, and the master bedroom.

ALEXANDRIA, VA — The National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) applauds National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Dr. Francis Collins' recent announcement that the NIH will "pursue functional integration, rather than major structural reorganization, to advance substance use, abuse, and addiction-related research."
"NBWA is pleased to hear that the NIH is abandoning plans to merge illegal drugs with alcohol research," said NBWA President & CEO Craig Purser. "NIAAA plays an important federal role in highlighting that alcohol is indeed a different product, and it must continue to be regulated and researched differently. NBWA looks forward to working with fellow members of the alcohol industry and the public health community to help ensure NIAA's important work is strengthened, not weakened."
About NBWA:
The National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) represents the interests of America's 3,300 licensed, independent beer distributor operations in every state, congressional district and media market across the country. Beer distributors are committed to ensuring alcohol is provided safely and responsibly to consumers of legal drinking age through the three-tier, state-based system of alcohol regulation and distribution.

July 24, 2012 | By Jan Shaffer
Note: This is the sixth of a series about drivers who competed in the early years of the Crown Royal Presents the Curtiss Shaver 400 at the Brickyard Powered by BigMachineRecords.com who no longer compete regularly in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
He had many nicknames in his career. High Groove Harry. Handsome Harry.
After Reggie Jackson was nicknamed "Mr. October" in Major League Baseball for his World Series heroics, Harry Gant won four Cup races and two sportsman races in September 1991 and got the title "Mr. September." He was 54 years old at the time.
But his main, lasting handle came from a popular movie. Hal Needham and Burt Reynolds got together with U.S. Tobacco people at Charlotte one year shortly after they had filmed "Smokey and the Bandit."
"Humpy (Wheeler, the president of Charlotte Motor Speedway) asked Hal to be the grand marshal, and Hal wanted to do something spectacular, him being a stuntman and all," Gant said. "So he brought the flag down standing on the rail of a helicopter. He watched the race from Humpy's suite and said, 'I want to have a car.' Humpy told him he had to have a sponsor, and by the time everybody got done talking, Skoal was sponsoring a car for me.
And, with a little Skoal logo graphic of a black cowboy hat and a red bandanna, Harry Gant became known as "The Bandit."
Gant competed in the inaugural Brickyard 400 in 1994 and led one lap before bowing out with transmission trouble early in the event. He retired after that season.
"It was a thrill to run that first race," said Gant, 72, from his office in Taylorsville, N.C. "If I could've run the whole race, I'd been a whole lot better. It felt good to have to shift.
"It (the Speedway) was a heck of a place. You've got that backstretch ... like at Daytona, you can still tell where the start-finish line is, but that backstretch is way back there."
Today, he's still hard at work. Gant lives in the same house he's lived in since he was 24 years old, 4 miles from where he was raised, and has 300 acres and 250 Angus beef cattle, which take up 50-60 hours a week. He gets to ride his motorcycle across the country twice a year on Kyle Petty's charity trip and another trip. He still does appearances.
"I ran GM cars all my life so I pull for Jimmie Johnson and those guys," Gant said. "I watch them on TV, sometimes the end of them. Occasionally I catch the Busch (Nationwide) races. I don't go to the races."
But The Bandit is still part of the colorful lore of NASCAR.
Super Weekend tickets: Tickets are on sale now for the Kroger Super Weekend at the Brickyard on July 26-29 at IMS.

Eckhart Tolle movie, titled Milton's Secret and based on Eckhart's book with the same title, launched its IndieGoGo (http://igg.me/at/MIltonsSecret/x/4839616) campaign today.
Milton's Secret is an example of engaged entertainment, a fresh wave of inspiration and mindfulness which shows – once more – the power of media. Milton's Secret is a coming of age story about an 11-year-old boy growing up in an economically depressed suburb, and his grandfather who visits him. Milton experiences that rehashing bad situations and worrying about the future are preventing him from finding true happiness in the Now.
A video with Eckhart, and the producers of the movie, is available on: http://igg.me/at/MIltonsSecret/x/4839616

Here are some of the key questions many business owners ask us - we hope you find the answers helpful. If you have a specific question, please don't hesitate to contact us directly.
I've already been approached by an acquirer. What do I do now?
The first thing you need is specialist advice, as selling a business is complex and time-consuming. Professional representation is essential, even if you really want to sell to this acquirer and you feel it is the best 'home' for your business.
The other thing to bear in mind is that your potential acquirer clearly has a strong motive to acquire – and that might mean your business is desirable to other companies too. What are you missing by not approaching other organisations? And will you get the best price, and the best outcome for your customers and staff if you only negotiate with one party?
With BCMS' tailored service, you can begin negotiations with your interested party, while exploring other sale options too. It might surprise you to know that in many cases, many business owners who talk to us after such an approach actually sell their businesses to another acquirer.
How do you value my business?
There are many different methods of business valuation. A traditional 'desktop' valuation involves the use of a mathematical formula. In essence, this takes your company's annual operating profit and multiplies it by a figure, usually between 3 and 7. This figure is dependent on historical trading, and past financial performance. It is typically calculated on a number of variables including the industry sector, past deals in that sector, and arbitrary metrics like return on investment over a set time period.
These numbers are called multiples – for a multiple of five, a company delivering profits of £1m would be valued at £5m under this desktop method.
We reject this method entirely, and here's why.
BCMS' track record over 600+ deals in the last decade proves that this multiple-based mathematical calculation is fundamentally flawed, and not necessarily reflective of the real-life, true value of your business. Acquiring a company is principally about strategic motive, and on many occasions the final price paid far exceeds any standard industry valuation. In addition, a company's true value lies in its future potential, not its past historical performance.
And if every company values your business the same, how do you explain the huge differential between highest and lowest offer for BCMS client businesses – which is typically 2.5 times?
BCMS never takes a company to market with a value attached for the very reason that it encourages 'bartering', price-chipping and bargain hunting. Only an acquirer with a strategic motive and a sense of the future potential for your business can decide its true worth, and it is our job to ensure that the market understands the scope and true value of each and every business we represent.
Is my business actually worth buying?
We speak to many business owners each week, and surprisingly many of them are unaware of the inherent value of their business. Some are too close to their business to appreciate its commercial appeal. Others are looking to wind the business down because with no clear succession plan in place they feel it is their only option.
Your business does not start and end with you. Your customers, your IP, your contracts, your staff expertise, your brand, your portfolio, your relationships, your reputation – all these things have a potential value to an acquirer.
I'm not ready to sell – why should I start planning now?
Preparation is a key factor in any business transaction. The better prepared a business owner is for the sale process – in terms of administrative matters such as financial reporting, documentation, accreditations, sales contracts – the smoother the business sale process can be.
We have clients who have successfully sold with BCMS 5 years or more after first contacting us. Many meet with us and, following our advice, decide to put an action plan in place to improve their business' saleability. We can share case studies and analysis on companies similar to you who have sold, so you go away with a clear idea of your positioning in the market place.
Take a step back and analyse why an acquirer would buy you. Is it your IP, your client base, your staff? Specialist, niche skills you possess? If you start examining your strengths and weaknesses as a business today, then there is time to make positive change to maximise the value of your business when the time comes.
What will happen to my staff?
A key driver for many business owners is securing not only the best future for their company, but also their staff. The major shareholders may count staff as friends, not just colleagues. In a family business, the relationships can be even closer.
BCMS understands this – and seeks to work with you to find the right option for your company. We never force you to take, or reject any offer. We advise you on a communication strategy that will help you to explain the sale process to your staff, at the right time. Open, honest, communication is key, and the right sale can rejuvenate a business, delivering exciting new opportunities for your team.
It is usually not in the acquiring organisation's interest to buy your business and instantly shed experienced employees – the very people who have helped to make it successful in the first place.
Who is the most likely acquirer for my business?
This of course is dependent on your sector, and your area of business operations.
The most obvious organisations to approach would typically be key regional competitors, or larger businesses who offer similar services. But we regularly identify the best buyers to be complementary acquirers, both in your home country or internationally - around 25% of all BCMS clients sell to an overseas acquirer. A likely acquirer might have slightly different specialisations or business operations, or feature at a different point in your supply chain.
Every sector is different, but the main reasons for acquisition are typically stated as strategic expansion, access to customers, and access to new specialist skills.
How long will it take to sell my business?
Selling a business is a labour intensive process. Today's acquirers and investors are risk-averse, and understandably will undertake extensive due diligence and checks to ensure they are getting value for their investment.
There are many variables beyond your control that can delay a deal. These could include changes in the acquirer's circumstances (such as access to funding), or wider changes in the market. Regardless, it is important that any company looking to sell has its business administration up to date. This will help avoid unnecessary delays.
This is why we recommend you allow at least 12 months for the entire sale process, from the time you engage a specialist advisor to exchange of contracts and completion. Although BCMS has completed deals in a matter of months, this is not the norm. We allow three months for preparation before we even begin to approach potential acquirers.

Not every 3D project requires cumbersome glasses and a $20 IMAX ticket. Hot Wheels showed us an innovative way to advertise its product using a large projector and some imagination. Now, Lexus is using the same style to tout its CT 200h, and it's using a Los Angeles landmark to play background duty.
First opened in 1927, the Roosevelt Hotel is a piece of classic California situated right on Hollywood Boulevard. It's said that Marilyn Monroe's ghost haunts one of the hotel's mirrors, and we can't help but wonder what she'd think of the 2011 Lexus CT 200h running wild on the side of the Roosevelt. We also wonder what you think of Lexus' three-dimensional advertisement, so follow the jump to watch the clip then sound off in the comments.

Post-transcriptional regulation of the myocardin-related coactivators during muscle cell differentiation
Falk studied Biochemistry at the University of Halle (2007-2012). In his work Falk examines the post-transcriptional regulation of MRTF-A in muscle cells through miRNAs. In the differentiation process of muscle cells many miRNAs are involved but only few targets of these miRNAs are known. Because of its role in these processes MRTF-A is a potential candidate of miRNA mediated regulation.

Vine Street Digital
David Jensen
00:01 20 Aug 20
After doing a large amount of research, we decided to give Vine Street Digital an opportunity to manage our PPC. Like many other business owners delving into this daunting world, we were very hesitant at first as we had been let down by so many SEO/PPC companies who promised so much but in the end either lacked the understanding of our market or did not bother to learn the specifics. Quite often you would find many of these companies to be eager to please you at first and then once pen is to paper they would loose interest or your account manager would be overstretched.Thankfully, this was definitely not the case with Vine Street Digital. They have a unique approach when it comes to PPC management which makes you feel as though you are their only client and you get a genuine sense that they care about your business. Our account manager Gabi, has tirelessly gone to great lengths to ensure our company is highly visible on multiple engines and has put so much effort and strategy to ensure success for us all. Could not recommend highly enough.

I did an extensive search online for the best PPC agencies in Australia. I created a shortlist and received strategy pitches from a number of agencies. Vine Street Digital's strategy overview really stood out. With PPC being their sole business focus, you can really tell they understand every aspect of optimising ad campaigns to reach there full potential. We have worked with them for over a year now, and their results speak for themselves - highly recommend.

I would give this company 6 stars if it were possible. I have worked with a few PPC and digital SEO companies in the past and these guys are in a league of their own. They are smart, real smart and know all the Google PPC settings so well you would think these guys were employed by Google. I've never had a company offer Google PPC strategy like Vine Street Digital. You won't be disappointed.

Gemma and her team are full of knowledge and great advice to really achieve results. I'm a dope when it comes to AdWords marketing and Gemma graciously held my hand through the process, teaching me along the way and never once making me feel stupid. She does this with a friendly manner and a great sense of humour too. I loved the work Gemma was doing with one of my businesses that I've used her for the next one too. Happy to recommend her again and again to get great results for your business.

Words cannot express how thrilled we are to be working with Gemma and the Vine Street Digital team. Gemma has been exceptional with her follow up, customer service, and she always shows patience when explaining the complex science that is Adwords and Analytics. Her monthly reports are clear, concise, highly informative, and motivating! She actively manages our campaign based on the data collected and thoroughly explains in her detailed reports as to what is working well and why and where we need to improve. We have learned so much about our business from Gemma and have used her professional, practical and always enlightening insight to optimize our marketing strategy on Google and Bing and to improve our website. What we are especially impressed with is her cautiousness in watching our daily ad spend. You can tell that she deeply cares about her clients and their well being. We are so appreciative of that! It is and continues to be a pleasure working with Gemma and VSD. So happy we found them. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommended.

These guys are awesome… Have been using them for about two years now and our results keep getting better. The market is flooded with 'flakey' digital agencies making you all sorts of promises, Vine Street Digital are the only agency I have worked with that actually deliver way more than they promise… 100% recommend them.

Gemma and Vine Street Digital are the 'needle in the haystack' when it comes to Google Adwords. I have tried a number of "experts" both in Australia and overseas and have had terrible experiences. Gemma not only knows her stuff, but is the most conscientious person you could hope to help you. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Gemma managed our SEM and PPC campaigns and she was great to work with. She always listened, provided sound and well-resounded advice, was highly-responsive, and communicated well. Importantly, she delivered results. I'd highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a local, responsive agency to manage their SEM or PPC campaigns.

Bring this colorful dessert to your next party. Guaranteed to be a hit!
Whenever I find jello layers offered at parties, I find that it is one of the most popular dishes. Kids AND adults love it equally and you can never have enough to go around. There's just something fun about eating this beautiful multi-layered dessert. And c'mon, there's always room for jello!
Time and Space
Now this seems like a no-brainer of a recipe so why am I sharing this? I'll tell you why…it's because I needed it for myself. I thought that this is one thing that should be super easy to make. Turns out, I was wrong. You do need some instruction to get it right. Don't ask me how I know.
Anyway, after having made it several times, I'll tell you this is one dessert that you have to make in advance. It might seem like a lot of time but it's really mostly wait time and if you are doing other things, it's just making sure you have a timer set so you don't forget about it.
Jello layers need to be a little firmer than regular jello to be able to hold its shape when you serve it. Therefore, you need to add gelatine to the jello. Also, you should add less water than called for to make the jello layers. Now, when you do this the jello will be much sweeter. To balance the sweetness, your milk layers should not contain any sugar. That will help to create the perfect balance for the jello layers.
The other thing you will need to know is that you will need room in your fridge to fit your jello dish. If your fridge if full, don't start on this dessert. Make room first.
Alright, now that you have some ideas of what is needed, let's get to the making of this popular dessert.
Jello Layers recipe
4 different flavors of Jello (try to choose the ones that are different colored—I like strawberry/raspberry, lime, blueberry, and orange). If you do have two similar colors, just don't layer them next to each other.
5 Knox gelatine packages
3 cups milk, divided
6 cups water, divided
1. Open first flavor of Jello. Add 1/2 cup hot water to the jello powder. Stir until the crystals are dissolved. Add half a packet of Knox gelatine. Stir to incorporate gelatine well (until all dissolved). Add 1 more cup of cold water (this helps it set faster). Pour into your jello dish (I use my pyrex rectangle dish) and cool in fridge.
2. While cooling, start milk layer. Start with 1/3 cup cold milk. To that, add 1 packet of Knox gelatine (yes, I know you have a half one open already, don't worry, you'll be using that later). Stir until gelatine has dissolved. Add another 2/3 cup milk to the mix. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir to ensure that all the gelatine has dissolved into the milk. Cool for about 5 minutes.
3. Remove the jello dish with the first layer from fridge. Your jello should be just set. If it's not set, put it back to harden more. If it's set, gently pour the milk layer on (make sure that your milk layer is not too hot so that it doesn't melt the first layer). Put back in the fridge to cool.
4. Now repeat steps 1-3 with the next 3 flavors of jello. At the end, you should have 7 layers total. If you are lazy, you can get away with 3 flavors and 2 layers of milk but if you do, use 1 whole package of knox gelatine for the first layer (so you don't end up with a half package of unused gelatine).
5. Refrigerate the jello layers for at least several hours to really firm it up before serving. I recommend you make this at least one day before you plan to serve it. Once the last layer is on and cooled, just cover the dish and leave in your fridge till you're ready to serve.
6. When ready to serve, remove from fridge and cut into cubes or diamond-shaped pieces and arrange on a platter.
Cheers, Annie

If you were not paying close attention, you probably missed much of the countdown to Manny Ramirez's imminent entry into the once-exclusive 500 Home Run Club.
The Boston Red Sox arrived in town for a four-game series at Camden Yards with their big-swinging left fielder sitting at 499, which used to be considered the threshold of every power hitter's dream, but - sadly - 500 just ain't what it used to be.
It was a pretty big deal when Willie Mays and Hank Aaron did it in the 1960s. It was still a big deal when Reggie Jackson did it in the 1980s. And it was pretty cool when Eddie Murray came back to do it as an Oriole in 1996.
Of course, that all happened before the radical stat inflation of the past decade or so, which has devalued one of the most hallowed round numbers in the sport.
Ramirez deserves great credit for his terrific career, even if his mercurial personality has made him hard for some fans to embrace. He is headed for the Hall of Fame, barring an unforeseen appearance on 60 Minutes, and he will go down in history as one of the most feared hitters of his generation. He just picked the wrong generation if he was hoping to get all the recognition he probably is due.
The 500-homer plateau used to look a lot higher when the truly elite sluggers occasionally mixed in a 40-homer season. Now, in the aftermath of an era in which Sammy Sosa averaged 61 homers over a four-year period (1998-2001) and hit 332 of his 609 career homers in just six seasons, it's going to take some time to get things back into perspective.
In one respect, it is simply a matter of supply and demand. When Mays reached 500 in 1965, he was only the sixth player in major league history to get there, and he was considered a threat to break Babe Ruth's all-time record. He would soon be followed by Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson and several other contemporaries, but the achievement still had an aura when Reggie joined the club in 1984 and Mike Schmidt hit No. 500 three years later.
Ramirez will be No. 24, the same number he wears on his back. That's still heady company, but you can make the case that 600 is the new 500, especially after Barry Bonds supplanted Hank Aaron as the all-time major league leader and Sammy Sosa reached 600 homers last season. Ken Griffey Jr. entered this weekend just two homers from becoming only the sixth player to make it to that level.
If only the milestone glut were the only issue. Every major baseball achievement of the past decade is going to be viewed through the prism of the steroid era, and rightfully so. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig hoped to bring some closure to the performance-enhancement scandal with the George Mitchell investigation but succeeded only in putting some of the gory details on the record. The Mitchell Report simply confirmed what everyone already knew about baseball's home run explosion but didn't pretend to be a comprehensive account of the sport's descent into the steroid abyss.
So forgive baseball fans if they aren't quite ready to embrace the latest home run milestones, even if Ramirez got to this point without ever hitting more than 45 homers in a season and Griffey's name has never come up in any of the various steroid investigations.
The steroid era is forever going to be remembered as the steroid era, and everyone who played in it has been burdened with some measure of guilt by association. The well-earned public cynicism about the inflated home run numbers is unfortunate for those who didn't give in to steroid temptation and those players from earlier eras whose accomplishments have been diminished in comparison.
Ramirez and Griffey probably deserve better, but so does someone such as Frank Robinson, who hit nearly 600 homers and amassed nearly 3,000 hits, only to have his status as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport diluted by a crowd of milestone makers who - for lack of a less-cliched way to say it - will never be in his league.
That's just the way the baseball world has turned, but we don't have to like it.

Is Black Tea good for health?
Black Tea has specific antioxidants, including catechins and polyphenols, which have been linked to reduce the risk of certain type of cancers. Increased evidence shows that these antioxidants in black tea have been known to reduce atherosclerosis in women (clogged arteries) in women.
How to brew a good cup of Black Tea?
In order to brew a good cup of black tea, take some oxygen-rich, fresh water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. For a single cup of black tea, take 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of black tea in a teapot. Pour the freshly boiled 180-200 ml of water over the leaves in the teapot. Cover and let it steep for 3-5 minutes according to your taste preference (longer the steeping time, stronger is the tea). Add in Milk and sugar as per your taste and liking!
Which harvest teas do you use in your blends?
All our premium blends are made of a variety of garden-fresh, superior quality teas sourced from their native region. We procure all our teas in their respective prime-harvest seasons, which differ according to the tea type, place of origin, season etc. Procuring these teas during their prime harvest periods means that we get the best quality teas which have an enhanced flavor, character, and freshness.
Where do you source your teas from?
We source our teas from over 150 renowned tea plantations and small individual farms in India. Within the country, we procure from 5 popular tea-producing regions, namely : Darjeeling, Assam, Nilgiri, Kangra, and Sikkim.
How are your teas packed?
After sourcing our teas directly from plantations within hours of harvest, we bring them to our state-of-the-art tea facility in New Delhi, India. The teas then go through rigorous rounds of cleaning, sorting, quality testing to remove any impurities/dust/foreign particles. Teas then pass through a final 10+ quality check points for leaf size, aroma, liquor, flavors etc. They are then vacuum-packaged in opaque aluminium-lined bags using sophisticated machinery. These vacuum-bags are then stored in a dehumidified, temperatuere-controlled warehouse which ensures that the teas remain garden-fresh and maintain their character. Upon recieving a consumer's order, we further pack the required quantity of tea in smaller vacuum-sealed packs which are boxed in the retail boxes and then sent over to our own delivery centres located in various parts of the world.
Customer Reviews
Entering the website, selecting teas, awaiting delivery, opening the neat boxes is all excitement, then brewing the leaves and sipping Vahdam teas is a pleasure indeed.,thank you.
Good bold taste to the Assam tea but easy enough for a daily tea. No complaints whatsoever, great tea and would buy again.
Excellent tea. Fully of many flavours and aromas
Посылка тщательно упакована. Пришла быстро. Чай вкусный. Рекомендую
Lovely flavour and different to the Darjeeling that I normally buy. I find all the Vahdam teas that I have tasted and shared with my friends to be of the highest quality.
