Quincy resident Graham Shea, 29, and his brother John Kennon Shea, 31, are about to do what has never legally been done before — paraglide off the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the world's tallest freestanding mountain.
The brothers will be among up to 200 paragliders who will first trek for seven days to the 19,340-foot summit and then attempt the historic flight.
In the process the group will raise $1 million to be divided among three charities in Eastern Africa: Plant with Purpose; WorldServe International; and One Difference.
This is the first time the Tanzanian government is allowing paragliders on the mountain, and permission was only granted because of the $1 million donation. Each paraglider must raise $5,000 to make the trek.
Additionally, each participant must pay for plane fare, plus $3,800 for porters, meals and other logistics, and then there's a list of gear needed to survive the harsh elements.
Despite the costs, Shea is lured by the adventure, the opportunity to share the experience with his brother, and the chance to benefit Plant with Purpose, one of Shea's favorite organizations.
Shea's adventure begins Jan. 27 as the group assembles at Ngurdoto Mountain Lodge before setting out Jan. 29 to make history. Last week Shea answered a few questions about the trip, his preparations for it and why it is so important to him.
What are you doing to become physically prepared for this trip?
I'm conditioning as hard as I can as high as I can. Running through the forest on Mount Hough is a real workout. Skiing this season will help a lot too, because Tahoe is high. I'm going to start running with a pack when my legs can handle it.
How high have you climbed in the past? Do you think altitude sickness will be an issue?
I've climbed Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen twice each, so 14,179 feet is my record. Kilimanjaro is a big jump from that at 19,341 feet, but with seven days to acclimate I'm not too worried. Many people climb it who haven't trained at altitude and do just fine.
Do you have any trepidation about this trip? If so, which part of the trip most worries you? Excites you?
I have a feeling the flight, and specifically the launch, are what's on everyone's mind. Even experienced pilots rarely launch from this high, though it's certainly been done.
There is about half the air pressure at the top of Kilimanjaro, so we will need about twice the speed to start flying — or land, if necessary, before reaching the bottom. Many planes can't even fly that high.
We also have to watch out for one another if the airspace gets crowded, which is something the few previous (illegal) Kilimanjaro flights have not had to worry about. However, a lot of research and planning has been done, and we will be in the company of many of the best paraglider pilots in the world
Though I'll be one of the comparatively less experienced, I have launched at high altitude before, so I am not particularly trepidatious about that. But it will definitely be interesting.
One of the most exciting things for me will be meeting the other pilots. I can't think of a more fascinating group, from world-record holders to the city of London police commissioner. And these are all people who care about relieving suffering and extreme poverty. I only wish the expedition were longer.
How long have you been paragliding?
I started formal paraglider training in June of this year and flew as much as possible till I met the experience requirements for Wings of Kilimanjaro.
I did a bit of informal dabbling before that (with instruction) in a related sport called "speed-flying."
It's a seven-day trek to the point where you will paraglide. How long will it take you to descend?
That's a very good question. Quicker than those who have to climb down!
With a four-foot-per-second sink rate and no lift, it could be as little as an hour, but that's not a likely scenario. There will be thermal activity (rising hot air) as well as possible ridge lift from the mountain. Combine that with a group of extremely experienced and competitive pilots, and I think there will be some really long flights.
We will discuss detailed flight plans in Tanzania before the climb, but I would be happy to stay up all day if I can. We can carry water and food in our harnesses.
What are some other unique challenges for this expedition?
We'll be climbing through four climate zones, from hot rainforest with monkeys and giant ferns at the base to nearly lifeless arctic conditions at the summit.
That means we'll be launching in freezing winds and landing in African summer heat only hours later. I'm hoping I don't drop any clothes if I have to shed layers on the way down.
Oxygen is an issue at the top. Even without altitude sickness, the human brain can be affected when it has to run on half the oxygen it's meant to.
We'll have a good system of decision-making in place so as not to risk impaired judgment at the most critical part of the expedition — the launch.
Because weight is always an issue on a climb, my paragliding instructor converted my lightweight speed-flying harness to work with my paraglider wing, which combined weigh only 10.6 pounds, including the reserve parachute. That saves me several pounds.
How does it feel to share this experience with your brother?
John Kennon and I started paragliding precisely because we wanted to spend more time together, but this blows away any expectations we had.
To my knowledge, we're the only brothers doing it, which is neat for us, and I think reflects well on our dad, who was an exemplary pilot and humanitarian, and who always encouraged us to be a team.
I wish he could be around for this. John Kennon and I have helped each other and learned a lot from each other over the years. (John Kennon lives in San Diego and is chairman of the family's health care company established by his father, Ken Shea.)
How did you originally become involved with Plant with Purpose?
John Kennon introduced me to Plant with Purpose, which is based in San Diego. I traveled to Tanzania with them in 2010 and spent two weeks visiting homes, farms and schools where they have organized community savings-and-loan programs, built cisterns and taught advanced agriculture techniques to farmers.
I also attended their bi-annual international meeting and met representatives from Haiti, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Rwanda, Burundi and Thailand, where they work.
What intrigued you about this organization?
There are thousands of organizations that fight poverty, but many of the problems being addressed are actually symptoms, like malnutrition and lack of water, rather than causes.
By tracing the chain of problems "upstream" as far as possible, Plant with Purpose has started solving issues it didn't even intend to address, like water-borne illness. They've been around for 28 years, and even provide consulting for less-experienced organizations.
I also appreciate that they see spiritual renewal as integral to renewing people's relationships with each other and with their land.
This will be your second trip to Tanzania. Will you be able to see some of the people that you met on the first trip?
Yes. Doug Satre, director of outreach for Plant with Purpose, will be climbing with us, though he's not a paraglider pilot — yet.
Before Kilimanjaro, John Kennon and I are traveling to Burundi with him to see the work being done there. He and I shared some great adventures the first trip, and he's a good Swahili teacher.
You have committed to raising $5,000 for charity to be included in this trip. How can people help you?
I will be paying my own way for the trip, but I invite those who are interested and who have a heart for this type of charity to donate before the Jan. 15 fundraising deadline at wingsofkilimanjaro.com/grahamshea.
I would also appreciate prayer for safety and for God's blessing on the people who are being helped through these charities.

Eighth-Ranked DePauw Blanks Piedmont; Improves to 2-1
February 24, 2008
February 24, 2008, Demorest, Ga. - Eighth-ranked DePauw improved to 2-1 following an 8-0 win at Piedmont. Piedmont dropped to 0-1 with the loss.
Megan Soultz allowed just three hits and struck out eight on the way to her second win in three decisions. DePauw scored one run each in the third, fourth and fifth innings and then added two in the sixth and three in the seventh.
The Tigers collected 10 hits with three each from Chelsy Patterson and Rachel Gill and two by Kelly Schwerzler. Gill drove in three and Patterson followed with two.
DePauw travels to Danville, Kentucky, this weekend where they play four games in two days beginning with Saturday contests against Case Western Reserve and Maryville (Mo.).

High Five
Around the web this week…
1. Elle Decor As you probably know I've rekindled my passion for interiors this week and as a result have spent probably far too much time on Elle Decor's content-rich site. Where to start: Jason Wu's new office is pretty cool. It's not a home office but still lots of inspiration to be found there.
2. Forbes Blogs OK, so if you need to balance your foray into the world of interiors with a little reality check this is a great place to start. Take a break from what you are working on and check out what the journos at Forbes are reading. This 'umbrella' blog offers a one stop shop for all Forbes' news blogs in a nicely designed format. Where to start: The great piece on GAP's disastrous new logo.
3. Intelligent Life A quarterly lifestyle and culture magazine from The Economist where you'll find a piece on baking a Shepherd's Pie rubbing shoulders with a story on Minimalism. Where to start: An excellent piece on artist Louise Bourgeois, who died in May of this year. You get a great insight into this extraordinary woman plus a peek at her home and workspace.
4. Lonny Blog Now back to pretty. Lonny is an online lifestyle/interiors magazine but also a blog. And the blog I find more fun than the mag. The magazine seems somehow rather static when faced with the dynamism of the blog. Where to start: In case you haven't noticed Curbed is running a competition where they've asked magazines to decorate a doll's house – very clever way to get a ton of free press. Lonny was invited and they've done a nice behind-the-scenes post on their entry.
5. Phaidon Agenda The book publisher has a sleek blog-like news site that keeps you updated not just on their publicaitons but interesting happenings in the world of design and architecture. Where to start: Andrea Klettner's post on an architectural tour of New York with a twist.

Best earbuds for less than $100
OK, so maybe 100 bucks or less isn't cheap in the scheme of things, but when you take into consideration that some of the most highly rated, excellent-sounding in-ear headphones can cost more than $400 (or, if they're custom molded, close to a grand), a $75 pair suddenly doesn't seem so pricey. Plus, can you really put a price on great sound quality? Chances are, you're not getting it from the cheapo stock earbuds that most manufacturers include with their MP3 players.
Taking that into account, we've rounded up a selection of great earbuds that cost less than $100. … Read more

Scandezign Jewelry Tree
I'm horrible about taking care of my jewelry when it comes to storage -- I have a tangled mess of bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings in about 4 different jewelry boxes. But I think that would be a different story if I had one of these Jewelry Trees from Scandezign (or I might need a small forest of them). Exceptionally fluid and simple, its classic and modern feel both holds your jewels safely and shows them off beautifully. Designed by Louise Christ it's made of brushed aluminum and stands 10.1" high and 5.3" wide. $54

Establishing Fast Strategies For Store Bought Juices
Your loved ones are extremely important, so are the fresh fruit juices you provide them with, because they must be healthy. The big corporations usually are going to "blind" you using their advertising and marketing, and then lead you to believe that these products they push upon you are natural. Many end up buying an item that does not include any kind of veggie juice! You don't need to suffer the identical pain that I currently have, you can obtain a juice machine, making your own. There are many different varieties of juice machines out there, and the sole method to be certain that you receive the correct one for your household is to read some juice extractor review articles. I really like these details about standard juicers.
Once you get yourself a juicer, you will have full control of everything you put in it. If you're anything like me you want to take the time to read several juicer reviews as you can, so that you could make the foremost decision. Spend some time on line researching the various kinds of juice machines, masticating or centrifugal, so you can purchase the right one for your family members.
Challenging Ideas On Quick Solutions For Selecting A Juicer
The most effective juice machine review articles are produced by juicing aficionados. The juicing industry is significant, nevertheless the most beneficial juice extractor review articles come from individuals who have been in it and also have a massive amount of know-how about juicers. You will need to look for a juice extractor that can produce juice using almost any vegetable or fruit you place in it. Don't quit prematurely, as you need to buy a juice machine that can last some time. A lot of people who invest in a juicer and never read top quality juice extractor review articles end up using a unit that is not beneficial and end up not standing up to accomplish it's juicing obligations as time passes. High quality fruit juice comes from a top quality juice extractor, and that is the real key to being successful.I recommended you read more about them online.

The Brooklyn Nets are on track to make the 2013 NBA Playoffs, but Nets forward Kris Humphries may not be playing in them.
TMZ reports that Humphries has decided to skip the playoff games if his divorce trial, which begins on May 6, occurs on game days.
On Oct. 31, 2011, reality star Kim Kardashian filed papers to divorce Humphries after just 72 days of marriage. Two months later, Humphries filed for an annulment alleging the marriage was a fraud and a publicity stunt to generate TV ratings for Kardashian's reality show.
So, this case has been dragging on for a ridiculously long time.
Now the Nets are in second place behind the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Atlantic Division.
Here's how the scheduling works out:
- Apr. 20: NBA Playoffs begin
- May 6: Humphries/Kardashian divorce trial begins
- June 6: NBA Finals begin
The Nets pay Humphries $12 million a year — that's more money than he stands to collect in a divorce proceeding because he reportedly signed a prenuptial agreement.
He could settle the case before the trial, but there's no indication that's going to happen given then all the delays up to this point.
The divorce trial also promises to be a media circus.
Hopefully, Humphries changes his mind and settles the case early instead of dealing with a major distraction at the most important time for his team and his own NBA career.

Say Goodnight, Dan
Not quite a month ago, we predicted that Dan Rather's tenure at CBS was nearing an end. With his career forever stained by the 2004 docu-gate scandal, his dismal performance as anchor of the CBS Evening News, and Katie Couric's $ 15-million-a-year salary to pay, "The Dan" suddenly became expendable. As we noted in May, talks between CBS and Rather had apparently broken off; depending on which version you cared to believe, either the network refused to give their long-time anchorman a new deal, or the money offered was insultingly low--perhaps intended to drive Rather away.
Now, Rather himself is indicating that his days at CBS may be numbered. In an interview with Philadelphia Inquirer TV columnist Gail Shister, Rather admits that he has been ignored by CBS News President Sean McManus, his workload at 60 Minutes has been cut, and there have been no discussions about his future with the program. In other words, stick a fork in Dan; as far as CBS is concerned, he's done. Dan may still hanker to do "great journalism" (as he told Shister), but the network has made it clear that Rather will pursue that dream somewhere else.
Other men (and women) might quit under such humiliating circumstances, but not Rather. He apparently plans to hang in there at CBS News, even maintaining a "faux office" for his post-60 Minutes career. Other retired CBS correspondents have been given office space in the news division complex, including Mike Wallace, who left 60 Minutes under much happier circumstances a few weeks ago. Wallace's sign-off reflected a man who had done much to enhance the network's ratings and bottom line, so he was allowed to keep working until the age of 88, and given a hero's send-off.
Rather, on the other hand, is more remembered for his recent failures than his past successes, and (as we noted previously), "Docu-gate" was not his gravest sin, at least in the eyes of CBS executives. Many of them are more upset by the ratings decline that occured while Rather anchored the Evening News. When he took the helm from Walter Cronkite in 1981, the CBS Evening News was dominant in the ratings; when he stepped down 24 years later, the network's flagship newscast was mired in last place, costing CBS millions in advertising revenue, and even more in prestige. The "House that Murrow Built" became a ratings shanty with Dan in the anchor chair.
With Rather's depature from CBS apparently looming, it would be easy to say that he deserved better, or note the sad end to a 44-year career in network news. But any sympathy for Rather must always be filtered through his agenda-drive approach to journalism. Rather always went the extra mile in bashing conservatives, and his failed Docu-gate Report was nothing less than an attempt to influence a presidential election. In short, Rather's undoing was largely his own handiwork, and CBS's decision to cut him loose is long overdue.
Rather's decision to soldier on to the bitter end may also indicate that other networks aren't exactly chomping at the bit to acquire his services. In 1980, he forced CBS to give him the Evening News job by flirting with ABC. This time around, there apparently isn't another broadcast or cable network to flirt with, so The Dan is still hanging around CBS, trying to find a way to hang on. If he's finding a chilly reception at the network right now, I can only imagine how his co-workers will treat him when his contract expires, and he becomes a correspondent emeritus, without salary or assignment.
What a bummer. And how appropriate.

Inspector: Pigs are out of the houseTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | January 25,2013ESSEX A Vermont couple appears to have found new homes for dozens of mini-pigs that were in an Essex home.
Zoning administrator Sharon Kelley said she went through the whole house on Tuesday, and the pigs are gone.
Pig breeder Florence Gruber and her partner Alan Tsefrekas had been keeping over 40 pigs inside Tsefrekas home for about a month before the town ordered them to relocate the animals.
They had until Tuesday to remove them. Kelley said local and state regulations define pigs, even miniature potbellied pigs, as agricultural animals. She said agricultural animals are prohibited from living within a residential neighborhood.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER With recovery from Tropical Storm Irene still underway in parts of the state, the...

European Odyssey 2013 participants
Alexandria Triolo, 19, is a sophomore from Hicksville, NY, majoring in public relations and global studies. Both her older brothers are European Odyssey alumni.
She is most looking forward to visiting Greece and Turkey. She says, "The European Odyssey is a once in a life time experience. Unlike other abroad programs, the European Odyssey gave me the opportunity to study at not one, but several different counties. It doesn't get much better than that!
Ariana Spang, 21, is a junior from Kennebunkport, ME, majoring in public relations and global studies. She aspires to work in public relations and marketing. She says of the European Odyssey, "I know that I will never have the opportunity to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime experience ever again. 11 countries, 26 cities, 2 vans, 12 peers, in 73 days – this will be my greatest adventure thus far in life." She is most looking forward to visiting France, Italy and Greece.
Caitlin Rauchle, 21, is majoring in philosophy, sociology and global studies. The Coventry, CT, native hopes to someday attend law school and "make the world a better place for children to grow, learn and experience the life they choose." Caitlin says she is most excited to visit Germany and Greece and hopes the Odyssey will help her "develop a new understanding and appreciation of different people and places that I can use in my life to influence future in all aspects."
Danny Bautista, 23, a geography major from Williston Park, NY, is currently in his senior year at Hofstra. The Odyssey will be his first time in Europe and he's looking forward to all the countries on the itinerary. What most appealed to him about the program was the idea of going on "a great adventure while studying abroad. It's a great opportunity that will open other doors for me." He plans to attend graduate school and become a teacher.
Ebube Ezeh, 19, is a junior of Nigerian descent. She was raised in Maryland and Nairobi, Kenya. She is majoring in global studies and economics with a minor in photography and hopes to have a career that "helps people help themselves." Her extracurricular activities include Hofstra International, the Hofstra Gospel Ensemble and the Hunger Project. She is looking forward to all the countries on the European Odyssey itinerary, and says what appealed to her about the program was "The opportunity to travel around so much of Europe in one semester. I've always wanted to study abroad.
Eleanore Saintis, 19, a junior from Boston, is majoring in global studies and dance. She says she is most looking forward to visiting Italy and Greece, and says, "I am excited to be in Europe during such a historical time. It will be an eye opening experience to be able to view events happening first hand."
Gina Gallo, 20, a junior of Merrick, NY, hopes to someday work for a nonprofit/NGO organization or to be a social studies teacher. The European Odyssey is her first trip overseas. She is most excited to visit Italy and Greece.
Michael Dickerson of Romulus, NY, is majoring in history. This is his second journey with the European Odyssey program.
Mishaina Joseph, 19, a sophomore from Lake Ronkonkoma, NY, is majoring in global studies and history and hopes to someday work in international law. She says what appealed to her most about the European Odyssey, was "The fact that it's a study abroad program that is in more than one country. So we get to maximize the amount that we learn." She is most looking forward to visiting Turkey, Greece, France and Spain. This is her first trip to Europe.
Conor Monaghan
Edward Hagenmiller, 20, from Centerport, NY, is a junior majoring in Global Studies and Geography. He also has a minor in history. "The opportunity to go to so many countries in such a short time frame seemed incredible," he says of the Odyssey. "It is tough for me to imagine what all of the new cultures will be like, but needless to say I'm excited to find out." Of the places he is most excited to visit, he says,"Spain and Germany, since I have family roots there. "However, a trip to Greece has always been a lifelong dream of mine.
Jared Sarcka
Tarek Elkattan, 21, has dual citizenship with the United States and Egypt. He is from Wantagh, NY, and junior at Hofstra with a major in global studies and geography. He's most looking forward to traveling to Italy for the food. He's also excited to travel to Switzerland to see the UN offices, because that is where he aspires to work after graduation.

Shop within Campbell's caters to crafty sales
For years, Campbell employees have been asked where the gift section is, and now they have a place to point.By: Maria Lockwood, Superior Telegram
For years, Campbell employees have been asked where the gift section is, and now they have a place to point.
The Old Hutch, a fenced area within the store filled with craft items, opened two months ago. It was meant to cater to the women who stopped by Campbell Lumber. But male shoppers have also gravitated toward the display, situated in the former aisle space near the front counter.
"It's about 50/50," said Jean Higgins, a Campbell Lumber employee and self-proclaimed "Jean of all trades."
The shop carries dozens of unique items from local crafters, many in the rustic vein. Some, like crocheted purses, rag rugs, glass-fused jewelry by Gretchen Lisdahl and appliqued onesies, are tailored to females. But Sharon Newland's wooden yard art — especially the Packer and Viking pieces — have been snapped up by male shoppers. Add photography by Jim Kurtz, birdhouses by Jerry Van Ert, painted saw blades and much more. Higgins said the shop-within-a-shop boasts the work of 24 crafters, and there's room for more.
"We've had lot of fun setting it up," she said, and they want the consignment shop to grow.
Since it opened two months ago, customers walking into Campbell have been caught off guard by the new store, named for a wooden hutch built by the grandfather of employee Debbie Hanson. People stop in surprise and ask how long it's been there.
"I get a lot of really positive comments," Higgins said.
Store manager Kevin Christianson came up with the idea for the shop, she said, and they netted 15 crafters by advertising on their outdoor marquee. Newspaper ads brought another nine crafters into the fold. The focus is on unique and unusual items, like the primitive signs and art by Pam Maki of Cromwell. Most crafters are willing to create custom works as well.
"I'm blown away by the talent in the area," Higgins said. The Old Hutch offers crafters a guaranteed spot for their work to be seen without the uncertainties of setting up at craft fairs. Because there's no overhead for the shop, Higgins said, customers will find reasonable prices in the "cute little nook."
The Old Hutch is open the same hours as Campbell Lumber, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. For information on the store or how to become a craft consignor, call (715) 394-7721 and ask for Jean.

Nurturing a new and lasting idea doesn't result from analyzing market data. Aspiring creators must act on what nonprofits already know: you get the best answers by burying yourself in the questions.
Business gurus commonly preach that disruptive innovations originate from companies that listen attentively to their customers. But the authors argue that corporations need to go a step further by practicing what they label as "business model intimacy." In essence, such businesses create products or services by patiently nurturing ideas that are forged out of a dialog between the corporation and its community of potential customers. Customers are coded into the DNA of the innovation, a process that the authors refer to as "embedded innovation." The more traditional strategy of "structural innovation"–which is overdependent on such arm'slength tools as focus groups to identify unmet needs–has proven itself to be brittle in the long term, breeding a fickle customer base and exposing its practitioners to getting clobbered by cheap imitators.
As an example of their innovation framework in action, the authors point to Grameen Bank, a nonprofit
that got its start by providing small loans–no collateral required–to the rural poor in Bangladesh.
Grameen has attracted competitors, but it has continued to grow and diversify precisely because
the commitment it shares with its customers has become the foundation of its value. By contrast, businesses that practice structural innovation get trapped atop an "innovation treadmill," pushed there by customers who continually demand better and cheaper iterations.
After dissecting the two paradigms of innovation–breaking each down into its core attributes–the
authors show how the management practice that they have built for serving developing countries can
become a growth platform for multinationals. Their base of the pyramid (BoP) protocol not only helps
foster future opportunities, but it also accommodates the corporation's need to integrate its sustainabilityrelated goals. Still, they warn, opening up markets this way will require companies to become less solution driven and more experimental, cultivating the humility and respect critical to driving inclusive capitalism.

this is a quality formestane product....from all i hear formestane will soon be gone, at the price nutra is selling it at i recommend stocking up. i have been using formestane products for years and this is a top quality product!!!! get some!!!!
this is a quality formestane product....from all i hear formestane will soon be gone, at the price nutra is selling it at i recommend stocking up. i have been using formestane products for years and this is a top quality product!!!! get some!!!!
Ran a bottle of this and loved it. Four pumps applied to the upper body is the best method. Product is a bit runny but is pleasant to smell and dries within minutes. The resveratrol is a nice addition that I feel added a bit of energy and endurance.
It's a good product, I like the inclusion of resveratol. If I had to find a fault, it would be that it it seems a bit greasy.
edit: I'd have to agree with Razor, it's really hard to get past 2 pumps of application as I run out of skin to apply it to.
honestly i think theres much better forma products out there.
i found this to be messy to apply (low viscosity), offensive smell and greasy film left on the skin.
i'll give it 3 stars because IMO there's a lot of room for improvement.
I'd rate this product a 4/5. Its true the viscosity seems runny,there seems to be more greasyness to it than an actual easy lotion kind of application.over all the pump can get messy,crusty,and the nozzle will get somewhat clogged by dried debris. It didn't faze me at all though because this stuff actually worked! I noticed some muscle density,definition,libido was higher than normal,and improved strength was noticeable along with endurance.
I will most certainly return to use this product in the near future. =D! It's just that bad ass!
I used it during a Cycle of dbol, test, winny and had great results. I logged it for the BPS guys and even had my bloodwork done. My bloodwork showed that formasurge kept estrogen under control better than Adex (pharma grade) at .25mg ED. Now I was running 900mg of Test and 40mg of Winny which was impressive. I will use this product again and recommend it highly.
I've been using Dermicrine on my chest and upper back and Formasurge on the tops of my feet and chins. I am getting a nasty rash in both areas. I love both products but the carrier agent does not agree with me. I have a bottle of each left. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them.
Great reviews in here. Thanks guys!
Ive used Formestane before but never with reservatrol. I have used it as a standalone and in combination to reduce high estrogen, works for both. I notice positive body composition enhancements but I also notice that if I run it too long I get joint pain. These days I just run it a couple days at a time. Like I said though I havent run it with reservatrol, but Ill be getting some from NP and see what happens.

B A+F Campus Housing: I love living on campus! The dorm rooms I currently live in are great. They are spacious, clean, safe, and in a relatively close location to my classes. The social atmosphere is also really good as well, we are constantly being involved in dorm room get togethers, and other social events that our residential advisor designs. The buildings are all fairly new and are all well kept up with cleanliness. The perks of living on campus are not only the memories and friendships you develop, but also the independence you learn. You learn how to live on your own, provide for your own, and how to take care of yourself. I am very happy with where I live and hope to stay here for another year.
C A+F Campus Housing: Dorms are expensive. Paying over a thousand dollars a semester for a room with only a restroom as privacy can be a little awkward at times.
A+ A+F Campus Housing: on campus is a comfortable place to stay. classes are within walking distance and angelo states new dorms are clean and nice.
B+ A+F Campus Housing: The Plaza Verde Dorms were the best of the best! It's close to many things such as some classes, cafeteria, other dorms, and near where many events were hosted! I enjoyed my stay and met many friends while living there. There were some problems of course such as the air being off for days and it would get really hot and unenjoyable to sleep in.
C A+F Campus Housing: The freshman have better housing options than returning students. Returning students kind of get the lesser dorms.

Angelo State University boasts some of the finest dorm setups in Texas. All dorms are more spacious that what would be typically expected, and there is no such thing as a communal bathroom at ASU. Roommates in freshman dorms typically share a bedroom, bathroom, mini-fridge, and microwave. They often have the option to move their closets into the middle of the room to create some separation and privacy. In the suite-style upperclassman dorms, students share a living space and bathroom with a suitemate, while each gets his own single room.
All dorms have their own laundry facilities and allotted laundry credits that far exceed what any normal person could use. They also have multiple lobbies for hanging out, as well as study rooms for a quiet getaway. Overall, compared to many other schools, ASU boasts very spacious dorms and none of the dreaded communal bathrooms.

A look at how the drought affects prices you pay
ALBANY, GA -- Farmers all across Georgia are suffering, not getting enough rain to grow their crops.
We caught up with a few farmers at the outdoor farmer's market downtown Saturday morning, asking how the drought has affected their business.
"Your light bill, gas bills for your pumps and things and that's excess cost and the produce overall has done very well because, but we had to continue to keep water on them," said Hilton Graham, an organic farmer from Telfair County, Ga.
"It's costing us more to grow it and it's costing the consumer more to consume it, in price, like I said irrigation and all is not cheap and we're having to do a lot of that right now," said Tim walker, a farmer from Enigma, Ga.
Walker says they need six to seven inches of rain in the next two weeks.

I want to make robot with a computer as the "brains". I am looking for a low power, integrated video, integrated WiFi, and a low power CPU (low TDP).
I found a motherboard that fits what I am looking for, but I was hoping maybe you guys can give me an even better option.
The motherboard I found is ASUS P8H67-I DELUXE. Looking through the CPU Support List, I found only one CPU that is low power i7-3770T that has a 45W TDP. Of course I'm gonna max out the RAM to 16 GB.
I plan to have the OS on a SSD drive (for low power)
So... can anyone give me a better option?
By the way... if you are gonna say "why not a laptop?" then my answer is: Can a laptop performance (and price) match the above?

Michael O'Leary, Chief Executive of Ryanair, has promised €99 fares ($125 dollars) across the Atlantic to and from America if he succeeds in winning a majority share in Aer Lingus.
Ryanaircurrently holds 29.4 percent share in the rival airline but his bid of $900 million for the whole airline is currently under review by the European Union monopolies commission. If Ryanair succeeds, Ireland would have only one major airline.
"Instead of having €200 fares across the Atlantic we will have €99 fares in the winter," he claimed.
"How many flights do you think you can fill going to the States for €99? Every single one of them," he told the Irish Independent newspaper.
He said he would retain the Aer Lingus brand which he has described as valuable. "We have no desire to take Aer Lingus and paint yellow harps on them. We need a two-airline brand strategy," he added.
Instead, he stated he would increase passenger numbers from 10 million to 15 million passengers a year by flying Aer Lingus into new airports across Europe.
He has said he will sell his Aer Lingus stock if the European Union votes against him."If the commission turns down this remedies package then we would have to seriously consider exiting our investment in Aer Lingus," O'Leary said.
Aer Lingus stock is up over 60 percent since the Ryanair bid emerged. O'Leary has stated that he will expand Aer Lingus from ten million to fifteen million passengers yearly and will not compete with them on existing routes.
O'Leary also claimed recent stories in Spain about the safety of Ryanair flights were a set up job.
"System-wide we had less than 100 safety incidents and all of these were routine. It is unusual to have ostensibly a European government leaking patently flawed stories to the Spanish newspapers."
He also stated his airline would never adopt laid back Google type work policies.
"We are not here for bean bags and pool tables. We have to work hard. It is the only way to get this thing done. That is how commoditised travel services work," he said. "As long as you give your customers a big price advantage they will go with you."
jolly-know-all: (below) your attempt at veiled anti-Irish racism has not gone un-noticed! Btw: A five-gallon bucket and even a full copy of the Times would not cope with what you are full of!
The cheap airfare sounds nice; but what gets sacrificed? I can do without a lot of things, but I'd like to have a little more than a 5-gallon bucket and a page of the Irish Times in the loo, please.....:)
I've made numerous attempts to post my comments on this article. Is this particular section of ICentral broken?
I always fly AirLingus to Ireland and Scotland, never had a bad flight, I'm afraid O'Leary would be a very bad choice to run them.
I have flown on Ryan air once. Never again. I will not be flying on Aer Lingus if he takes over. I don't want to sit on a stool for 8 hours with a rope in my hand in case there isn't enough fuel to get all the way across. Why not just merge with carnival cruises and make a real mess of all the possibilities. Deregulation has been a disaster in every area. We need more oversight of these characters.
we are doomed if this happenes. read the comments about those against this and they are SPOT ON!! JUST REMEMBER ONE THIG...IF IT LOOKS TO GOOD THEN ITS NOT REAL
pilib: Looks like you've never been on a plane. ALL carriers are charging for extras, from snacks on board to drinks to seat selcetion to baggage charges. Some are now even charging for carry-on. RyanAir has a pretty generous carry-on allowance as far as I remember. Maybe you need to save up and take a flight somewhere.
All you critics of O'Leary...I'll bet you'll be first in line for the 99 euro fare. Someone was questioning the affordability....there are sales all the time from the east coast to the west coast for $299...same distance...and they are still making money. The big difference is that Ryan Air does not have baggage handlers and fuelers making 75,000 grand a year !!! (EI does)
Bogside Not the same over there with bigger airports and more of his scary fly rounds.lol
Michael O'Leary is the most savvy businessman this side of the pond. He's actually wasting his time pandering to a bunch of Celtic sots headed to Poland for drunkin bachlor and hen parties. Get thee to Amerikay and take over American Airlines, Michael.
At 99 Euro's, I would expect that Ryanair will have a few xtra charges for "extras". I can live with the Extra charges, I just want to know the size of the plane.
It will be something like fly over and glide back if his record is anything to go by. His company operates like some of those with adds on this site. Full of promises and overspilling with booby traps. Ones that you can`t get back out of without financial loss.
@ misneac You remind us that we once had a monopoly with Aer Lingus and that's one of your reasonings for supporting Michael O'Leary's attempt at taking Aer Lingus over which would then create another monopoly?! I fail to see your logic. Anyway, last year Michael O'Leary said he would offer €10 flights across the atlantic, wonder why it's gone up to €99 already? Probably because he can't keep track of all the rubbish he spouts to generate publicity.
A year or two back the Open Skies agreement between US and Europe was flagged as sure to bring down transAtlantic prices. It didn't. Prices are higher than they have been in a decade or two. I would have no objection to anyone new getting into the market, it could only do good. And as to service, I've flown RyanAir. I found their seats quite comfortable, with pretty decent legroom. Better than Continental 737s over here, for example. The service to/from Ireland on carriers like USAir and American is not much better than what you get on RyanAir in Europe. And last time I flew, they were charging seven bucks for a beer or a glass of wine with lunch--don't think RyanAir would charge that. There's another factor we need to keep an eye on. The dumb European Union is trying to bring in another airline tax, to include US carriers landing in Europe. That'll push fares up even more.
I comepletely support Michael O Leary .Dont forget we had a monopoly airline in Ireland before - Aer Lingus ! But for Ryanair we would still be paying exhorbitant rates to travel to Europe and America .It never ceases to amaze me how members of the public trot out rubbishy smart alecky comments that they have picked up from the Sun/Star .I am not interested in travel frills , I want to get to my destination in safety and on time ,and Ryanair delivers on all counts . I have witnessed confrontations at check in desks when passengers feel aggrieved that the cant bring on board as "hand luggage " the equivalent of a fridge or an armchair ! Michael OLeary is a proven successful marketing man who is capable of improving Irelands tourist business ,if he did not have to deal with small minded people, and vested interests .!
Would you believe a word out of this guys mouth? In October his prices to Lanzarote average 220 euro-about $275 each way.....and that trip is exactly half the distance as Ireland to New York so would probably be about $550 each way for a New York Flight.....plus the extras for everything from toilet paper to whatever he thinks of next.
You will probably have to stand all the way. $50.00 for toilet use.
the seat is $125 each way - if you actually want to put it on the plane thats going, that will cost you the other $750 to include insurance, fuel, toilet paper, baggage, and the pilot..... :)
I agree - it would be really nice to have better competition on the US route to Ireland - i've seen my ticket prices rise from 5 years ago from an average of $449 now hitting the $1099 for the exact same time of year on a regular basis - you rarely get tickets home under $500 now so would love someone to shake up United (since they took over Continental the fares are higher) and get us better deals but not sure how i'd feel about Ryan Air flying me to the USA - if they maintain Aer Lingus brand thats one thing but if he implements the cattle mart mentalilty he has with Ryan Air he may get us once to test it but thats about it. I don't want to have to beat people to get my seat or get screwed for trying to bring 2 bags home with gifts!!!
I don't buy it, prices are steep, I think monopolies are a bad idea. A move like this would put that guy, who makes jokes about people standing while flying (at least I thought it was a joke) in charge of all of Irelands airlines? Never put too much power in one persons hands. What are you going to do, just trust him when he says $125 fares? With the price of fuel alone, it dosen't make any sense. Reminds me of Romney's Tax cut for the rich plan.
While the low-cost fares would be welcome, Mr. O'Leary had best pay attention to American law regarding disclosure of fees, etc. The Ryanair tradition of low-balling the fares and making money on one fee after the other is now illegal in the US, at least so far as advertising is concerned. They'll need to reveal the total cost of a trip up-front. Blarney is not good enough.
Anyone with any common sense will know these level of fares are unsustainable and will ultimately be loss making for the airline. Flying a 300 seat aircraft is an expensive business, anyone expecting lovely low fares needs a reality check. Michael O'Leary will never charge these fares, he's just trying to create publicity for his cause as usual, it's just surprising so many are still lapping it up.
With all their hidden fees, the 99 euro will eventually be north of 200 euro but my biggest concern is if they will fill the feul tank.
we need this so badly.
what a deal - but can we pee aND FOR HOW MUCH.
I say let him at it, I like his two brand idea. This is exactly what the folks over at the Gathering need, as they have no answers as to providing reasonable value airfares back to the auld sod for next years.
Who's kidding who? RyanAir has 99 euro flights to alot of places and none of them are 99 euro. That airline has the more added fees and surcharges than any other airline out there. Trust me, the 99 euro one way ticket will be 275 euro before you leave the ticket counter.
NOW Mike O'Leary knows how to run a business: remove the shackles and let the good times roll . . . Just think what his $99 one-way winter fare would do for the Irish economy . . . .
Ah.Mick, Mick. If only the USA was a desiraable place to go to. Cuba is far nicer and a lot more relaxing and its politics are similarv to those of the Great Republic. Please change your mind. I'm telling you Mick; you will get arrested in the USA. Like me, you are an 'A' type person and can't stand the bu115h!t.
99 euro flights should rattle a few cages

Dear Veteran,
On November 11, 2011 our Nation will honor each of you, America's Veterans, who have served so faithfully and honorably. We will pause to remember the sacrifices our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen have made serving our Nation. Veterans Day is more than a holiday; it is a day of heartfelt appreciation to all who have served our great country in the Armed Forces.
President Obama has been clear: "America's commitments to its Veterans are bonds that are sacrosanct-a sacred trust we are honor bound to uphold."
It is not only a matter of honor. We all benefit by retaining the dedication, leadership, skills and abilities Veterans have acquired and exhibited in the fast-paced, dynamic environments of our Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard.
And, in the words of George Washington: The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their country.
In the two years since President Obama established the Veterans Employment Initiative, OPM has led the charge to honor your service by ensuring you have the opportunity to continue your service to this great Nation as Federal civilian employees. Your past military training, special skills, unique experience, and leadership ability make you an ideal candidate for our team!
With gratitude and great pride,
John Berry Director
