Late Breaking News
What Causes Rosacea? New VA-Led Studies Try to Find Out
- Categorized in: 2012 Compendium of Federal Medicine, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
By David Beasley
DENVER-- Rosacea, a skin condition that produces red facial splotches and sometimes disfiguration of the nose, doesn't discriminate on the basis of fame.
President Bill Clinton and the late actors Karl Malden and W. C. Fields all suffered from the disease, as do some 16 million more ordinary Americans.
-graph source: National Rosacea Society |
While sufferers do have some characteristics in common — the disease occurs most often in patients with Northern European heritage, especially women over 30 and men over 40, with special prevalence in those with Irish ancestry — the cause of the disease remains a mystery.
Now, new research is beginning to point scientists in novel directions as they try to develop a cure.
The exact cause of rosacea has long been a mystery, although genetic makeup has provided some clues.
"The vast majority of it is genetic predisposition," said Robert Dellavalle, MD, chief of dermatology at the Denver VAMC. A 2008 survey by the nonprofit group, the National Rosacea Society, found that 54% of patients with the condition had a family member who also had it.
Yet, although many rosacea patients may have inherited the condition, only in a tiny portion of patients have scientists identified a genetic defect, added Richard Gallo, MD, head of dermatology at the San Diego VAMC. "There is not a single genetic defect in most patients."
Researchers have looked for other indicators, and a recently published study led by Gallo and funded by a grant from the National Rosacea Society points to a protein in the skin called cathelicidin as the culprit.1
That study found that patients with rosacea had cathelicidin levels 100 times higher than those without the disease. Cathelicidins are necessary to prevent skin infections, but rosacea patients have "way too much of it," Gallo said in a recent interview with U.S. Medicine.
That might explain why the antibiotic doxycycline can help control the condition, according to Gallo, who noted that doxycycline, approved by the FDA in 2006 for treatment of rosacea, blocks the production of cathelicidins.
"But it's not effective for everyone," he noted. "In some patients, it makes it worse."
Gallo said the goal of more research is to find a drug that can actually cure rosacea, not simply control its symptoms for some patients.
Comments (1)
untreated, uncontrolled rosacea can devastate patients' lives, and can lead to loss of sight when the rosacea spreads to the eyes.
I think this is possibly a male/female inequality issue. rosacea affects women disproportionately. impotence affects males disproportionately.
If lasers bring the condition under control, put it into remission of sorts, wouldn't you think that laser treatment would qualify as medical treatment?
this is an issue of male dominated insurance industries looking at the bottom line and at what is important to them ( their flagging male members) . impotence drugs are covered by insurance.
just my opinion.

LAST GASP: The swirling disk of matter falling into a black hole radiates intensely and shoots high-speed bursts of plasma back into the galaxy.
In Brief
- Black holes, such as the four-million-solar-mass lurker at the center of our galaxy, are not simply consumers. They also radiate copious amounts of energy as they devour nearby matter.
- A black hole's feeding habits can have a surprising influence on the galaxy. Too much black hole activity, or too little, and stars with the right conditions for life as we know it could be scarce.
- The Milky Way occupies a galactic sweet spot, with a black hole that appears to act out just often enough to stir things up and keep the galaxy's stellar population at a perfect simmer.
- The connection between black holes and life is complex, but our galaxy's central black hole seems to have made numerous contributions to our ability to exist at this place and time.

Our existence in this place, this microscopic corner of the cosmos, is fleeting. with utter disregard for our wants and needs, nature plays out its grand acts on scales of space and time that are truly hard to grasp. Perhaps all that we can look to for real solace is our endless capacity to ask questions and seek answers about the place we find ourselves in. One of the questions we are now asking is how deeply our specific circumstances are connected to this majestic universal scheme of stars, galaxies and black holes.

Green Suppliers Network
The Green Suppliers Network is a component of the E3 Initiative. The venture involves industry, the U.S. EPA, and the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology's Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NIST MEP), a leading provider of technical assistance to manufacturers. Green Suppliers Network works with large manufacturers to engage their small and medium-sized suppliers in low-cost technical reviews that focus on process improvement and waste minimization. EPA provides program support.
Technical reviews are coordinated through NIST MEP. Teaching suppliers about "Lean and Clean" manufacturing techniques can help them to increase energy efficiency, identify cost-saving opportunities, and optimize resources to eliminate waste. The result: companies with more effective processes and products, higher profits and fewer environmental impacts. You can be next! Are you a supply company? Get more information!

E3: Economy, Energy and Environment
E3 brings together federal agencies, states and local communities for a broad discussion on how to connect respective programs to deliver responsive, coordinated solutions in a manufacturing environment. The E3 program facilitates collaboration among groups with common interests and a common agenda. E3 focuses on strengthening small to medium sized American manufacturers, which represent the largest proportion of the manufacturing sector. State and local communities use the E3 framework to help boost local economies to achieve their sustainability goals.
The topic of sustainability often centers on the triple bottom line of economic considerations, social responsibility and the environment. In these challenging times, more and more manufacturers are adopting sustainability into their overall business strategies. They understand how sustainable business practices reduce waste, improve the efficiency of their operations and position their firms to be more competitive in the global marketplace. Small- to- medium sized manufacturers, however, often lack information to integrate practical, sustainable approaches in their operations.
And that is where E3 can help: A joint collaboration among five U.S. federal agencies: the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Department of Commerce (DOC), the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Department of Labor (DOL), the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), E:3 pulls the agencies' resources and expertise together, and works directly with local utilities, local government and communities to help small- and medium-sized manufacturers.

Welcome/Bem-vindo |
World's Largest Portuguese Feast - New Bedford Ma
Welcome to the 100th Feast of the Blessed Sacrament! My association with the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament began before my first year as a Festeiro in 1988. It starts with my Grandfather Francisco L. Pereira who served in 1943 continuing with my Father Antonio Abreu who served in 1950. This is a heritage that has been part of my entire life and became even more important to me when I married Olga Figueira, whose father Francisco, inspired an even deeper commitment to our shared culture. In 2005, I was honored in becoming President of the Club Madeirense S.S. Sacramento, the sponsoring organization of the Feast. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. |

The Feast of the Blessed Sacrament commences Thursday, August 1st, 2013 with the assembly of the Festeiros (Feast Committee Members) at the intersection of Earle Street and Acushnet Avenue. Led by the Feast President, the Festeiros march in a special procession down Earle Street to Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church which is located at the corner of Earle Street and Madeira Avenue. At the church, Father Daniel O. Reis celebrates a special Benediction to the Blessed Sacrament.
The sincere best wishes of the church are then bestowed upon the Festeiros and the Club Madeirense S. S. Sacramento, Inc. for hosting the Feast and for contributing to the well being of the entire community. The Festeiros also receive the church's blessing and are reminded to pay homage to the Feast's religious origins honoring the Blessed Sacrament. Following the Benediction, the Festeiros march to the memorial area at Madeira Field where they honor the original founders of the Feast and initiate the opening ceremonies. Since its beginning in 1915, this feast has celebrated the rich culture of the Portuguese people and in particular the heritage of the people of Madeira, a Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean.
Continuous live entertainment on three stages featuring top
name entertainment plus cabaret style music and Fado singers in
the quiet atmosphere of the Courtyard Café at the Museum of
Madeiran Heritage. Full entertainment schedule will be posted
soon on the website www.PortugueseFeast.com
Traditional Madeiran Portuguese dinner with numerous menu choices for full dinners in the main pavilion. Cook-you-own barbecue beef (carne d'espeto), sweet malassadas (fried dough)plus linguica (sausage) and baccalau (codfish) sandwiches. Hamburgers, hot dogs and French fries. Madeira wine imported in giant casks by special agreement with the Madeiran Government.
Kids day and half-price senior specials on Saturday afternoon- Saturday, Free admission to the Museum of Madeiran Heritage, 5K road race (cash prizes- entry form on website), largest and longest parade in New Bedford starting at Brooklawn Park, traditional folk dances, family oriented carnival midway, street vendors and much more!
The Feast of the Blessed Sacrament will host its annual parade on Sunday, in the City of New Bedford. The parade will start at 2 p.m.
Over forty different organizations will march the one mile route
from Brooklawn Park to the Feast grounds at Madeira Field.
So the photographers running around the feast this year must have captured some great pictures. When will the 2013 pictures be up on the webpage?

FONTANA, Calif. (AP) - High-powered semiautomatic rifles are being stored at Fontana school campuses under a controversial safety program.
School district police purchased 14 of the Colt 6940 rifles last fall, well before the Connecticut school massacre.
The $1,000 rifles were received last month and are stored in locked safes on campuses.
Superintendent Cali Olsen-Binks says they're only to be used if there's an attack on a campus.
Fontana city Police Chief Rodney Jones tells KCBS-TV (http://cbsloc.al/10szRHE ) that the high-powered weapons are the best message to send to anybody thinking about harming children.
But critics say such guns have no place on campuses and the $14,000 should have been used to restore counseling programs that were eliminated in budget cuts.

217km (135 miles) NW of San José; 132km (82 miles) NW of Puntarenas
Founded in 1769, Liberia is the capital of Guanacaste province, and although it can hardly be considered a bustling metropolis, it is growing rapidly, in large part as a business center to feed the growing coastal boom. Hardware stores, warehouses, malls, and shipping companies are setting up shop in Liberia, and the city serves as a housing hub for the many workers needed to man the construction and tourism boom along the coast here.
That said, Liberia offers up more colonial atmosphere than almost any other city in the country. Its narrow streets are lined with charming old adobe homes, many of which have ornate stone accents on their facades, carved wooden doors, and aged red-tile roofs. Many have beautiful large, shuttered windows (some don't even have iron bars for protection) opening onto the narrow streets. The central plaza, which occupies 2 square blocks in front of the church, remains the city's social hub and principal gathering spot.
Liberia works well as a base for exploring this region or as an overnight stop in a longer itinerary. You'll find several moderately priced hotels in the city and its outskirts. Still, all things considered, it's usually preferable to base yourself either at the beach or at a mountain lodge, and to visit the city on a day trip.
Shady Business -- This province gets its name from the abundant Guanacaste (Enterolobium cyclocarpum), Costa Rica's national tree. This distinctive tree is known for its broad, full crown, which provides welcome shade on the Guanacaste's hot plains and savannas. The Guanacaste is also known as the elephant-ear tree, due to the distinctive shape of its large seedpods. Its fragrant white flowers bloom between February and April.
It's simple to explore the natural beauty of Costa Rica with American Airlines flights to Liberia. The Guanacaste area is known for its gorgeous features, including everything from tropical forests to pristine beaches. If you're interested in eco-tourism, you'll love the things to do in Liberia.
Enjoying the unspoiled beaches is one of the most sought-after activities in Liberia. The Guanacaste region is becoming more well-known each year for its sustainable tourism practices, which keep its beaches in excellent condition. You'll want to visit Playa Guacamaya and its impeccable views (don't make bruises pinching yourself; it really is that pretty here). Thanks to its gentle waters, you can swim easily, and with the vegetation growing at the beach's edge, you can also go for a tropical hike.
Visiting the Baulas National Marine Park is another of our favorite things to do in Liberia. The park is dominated by a long beach, which ends in a mangrove cove, the Tamarindo Wildlife National Refuge, home to a variety of native species. The giant exposed root systems are one of nature's fascinating quirks you simply must see in person.
If you enjoy learning about a destination's cultural heritage, then add a visit to Nuestro Senor de la Agonia Chapel to your list of activities in Liberia. Dating back to 1850, its Colonial architecture is even more impressive when you observe that it was crafted from adobe. Throughout the city you'll see more historical structures mingled with modern buildings, but the Chapel is one not to be missed.
Finally, treat yourself to a glimpse of the verdant Liberia River Canyon, one of the most awe-inspiring things to do in Liberia. Just a few miles outside the city you'll find the steep Liberia River Canyon, which also offers a view of the active Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, located in Rincon de la Vieja Volcano National Park.
Volcanoes, beaches, tropical forests and more of Mother Nature's finest work are on full display in Costa Rica's Guanacaste region. Fly to Liberia so you can experience it all for yourself -- just remember to charge the camera before you go! Browse our flights and reserve your trip now.

Over the years, WPRB's amazing Phil Jackson has brought lots of local artists onto his show, Side-B Radio (Sundays 5-7PM). Two artists in particular were impressed by all our vinyl and asked to shoot music videos in the PRB stacks.
Check out these videos, shot on-site in the WPRB studio.
First up, Mr. Fickle (The Hip-Hop Nerd), with his video Panco P.S.A. Freestyle:
(warning: some graphic language)
This Camden, NJ artist is currently played heavy rotation on Side-B Radio. Once part of hip-hop groups 'DA NUTHOUSE' and 'B-BOY AKADEMY', he's now moved into solo work in and around New Jersey, and even out of state. For more, check out his bandcamp.
Scatta Rpee next, with Da Radar:
From Trenton, Scatta Rpee is part of 'SPITATAINMENT' and a regular on Side-B. His new album, DA POWER OF NOW is getting good reviews on Top Mics Tour. Check him out on soundclick.
Special thanks to Phil Jackson from SIDE-B RADIO for clueing me into these awesome videos and giving me background. If you have videos or stories you'd like to see on the blog, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Consumers care more about covering their pets against serious illness than their family members, new research from Ageas Protect suggests.
Only 9% have a critical illness policy - while 12% have taken out a pet insurance policy.
Parents are likely to have life insurance, critical illness or income protection cover. But six out of ten parents with children under 18 have no insurance to support their own or their child's medical bills, as well as any time off work to look after a sick child.
When parents were asked what the maximum they would be prepared to pay for a critical illness policy which covered themselves and their children, 15% said they would be prepared to spend £5 a month, 17% would spend up to £10 each month, and a further 10% would commit to a monthly premium of £20.
Andy Milburn of Ageas Protect comments: "It is clear that parents are willing to pay to protect themselves and their children for a reasonable monthly amount. Starting off with a small amount of critical illness cover, which can always be increased at a later date, could be the perfect solution to help educate not only parents, but consumers up and down the country, that critical illness cover can be taken out for the same monthly outlay as a pet insurance policy, and will provide a vital support at a time of need."
As the amount that people are prepared to pay is lower than the price of most policies, it is up to insurers to develop new low-price value for money products, just as the supermarkets do.

What does tooth whitening do?
What does the procedure involve?
How long does the procedure take?
Why would my teeth need to be bleached?
Will I be happy with the results?
What about home kits?
When might whitening not work?
What about whitening toothpaste?
Guide index
Tooth whitening can be a highly effective, yet very simple way, of lightening the colour of teeth without removing any of the tooth surface. It cannot make a colour change, but lightens the existing colour.
In a live tooth the dentist applies the whitening product using a specially made tray which fits into the mouth like a gum shield. The chemical is then activated using heat, or heat and light combined. The active ingredient in the product is normally hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.
If the tooth has been root treated, the canal, which previously contained the nerve, may be reopened and the whitening product is put in.
In both cases, the procedure needs to be repeated until the right shade is reached.
First of all you will need 2 or 3 visits to your dentist. Your dentist will need to make a mouthguard and will need to take impressions for this at the first appointment. Once your dentist has started the treatment, you will have to continue the treatment at home. This will mean applying the bleach regularly over 2-4 weeks for 30 minutes to 1 hour at a time.
However, some newer products can be applied for up to 8 hours at a time, which means that a satisfactory result can be obtained in as little as 1 week.
Everyone is different; and just as our hair and skin colour varies, so do our teeth. Some teeth have a yellowish tinge, some are more beige – very few are actually 'white'. Teeth also yellow with age can become stained on the surface by food and drinks such as tea, coffee and blackcurrant. Calculus (tartar) can also affect the colour of the teeth. Some people may have staining inside their teeth. This can be caused by certain antibiotics or tiny cracks in the teeth, which take up the stain.
Treatment results may vary depending on the original shade of the teeth. Teeth will tend to darken slightly over time. The effect lasts for around 1 to 3 years, although sometimes it can last longer. Some people find that their teeth are sensitive for the first few days after treatment, but this wears off after a short while.
Over-the-counter kits are not recommended as they contain only a small amount of hydrogen peroxide which makes the product less effective. Some also contain mild acids, while others are abrasive. Although these products are cheaper, whitening is a complicated treatment procedure and should only be carried out by a dentist after a thorough examination and assessment of your teeth. It is very important to follow the instructions your dentist gives you, and to make sure that you go for any follow-up appointments recommended.
Whitening can only lighten your existing tooth colour. For a change to specific chosen shade veneering is another option. Whitening also works on natural teeth. It will not work on any type of 'false' teeth. This includes dentures, crowns and veneers. If dentures are stained or discoloured, it may be worth visiting the dentist and asking him or her to clean them. Stained veneers, crowns and dentures may need replacing. Again, ask your dentist.
There are now several whitening toothpastes you can buy. Although they do not affect the natural colour of the tooth, they are effective at removing staining and therefore improving the overall appearance of the tooth. Whitening toothpaste may also help to keep up the appearance, once teeth have been professionally whitened.

Indian Island Wedding
Newport, Rhode Island is the most beautiful place to have a wedding…especially when it's at the Ocean Cliff Hotel! Indian weddings don't come my way often, but when they do, I can't help but fall in love all over again with the traditions, the elegance, the saris and the sarongs, the culture…..It's just truly magical!
I am so thankful for Ambiance Luxe Wedding Designs for introducing me to Deepti and Sunil because they were not only so sweet and so much fun to work with but they trusted in me and my team to make their vision come true and gave us tons of creative freedom.
While writing this post, the memories came flooding back; leaving the shop at 4:00am with a convoy of trucks; watching the sunrise over the Newport bridge. The anticipation of seeing the Ocean Cliff, the water and seeing Deepti dressed and beautified was overwhelming. She was stunning!!!!!!…. but I have to say that Sunil was probably the most handsome groom I had ever seen! (besides my hubby, of course) And the weather….for October it was heaven sent for a waterside wedding…everything was just perfect!!!!
So, I will now just let the photos taken by Dennis from Binary Flips speak for themselves…..

CHALKBOARD SCIENCE: The unpleasantness of some chalkboard sounds has to do with their frequencies.

Physiologically, why is the sound of fingernails on a blackboard so unnerving? Is this effect particular to human beings, or are other creatures similarly affected?
—Rowan Snyder, via e-mail
Neuroscientist Josh McDermott of New York University explains:
Probably a couple of factors combine to make such sounds unpleasant. The first, perhaps unsurprisingly, is the presence of high frequencies. The range between two and four kilohertz—approximately that covered by the highest octave of a standard piano—seems to contribute the most to the nastiness of the sound. It is unclear why people tend to find these frequencies unpleasant, but we know that noise-induced hearing loss most commonly occurs in roughly this region, so it is conceivable that the aversive reaction partly reflects the ear's vulnerability.
The spectrum of screeching sounds is also much noisier than that of an instrument; that is, there is a strong random component to the sound. The noisiness probably results from the fingernails repeatedly catching on part of the chalkboard surface before sliding forward. This catching and sliding also causes rapid fluctuations in intensity, giving the sound a "rough" character.
Roughness is known to be unpleasant—car manufacturers, who aim to produce minimally unpleasant engine noise, for instance, find that smooth sounds with minimal variation in intensity are preferred by listeners over those that are rough. It's a bit harder to say why sound roughness is considered unpleasant—as far as we know it is not harmful to the ears.
Some scientists have proposed that screeching sounds are acoustically similar to screams, a sound to which we might plausibly have evolved an aversion. If this hypothesis were true, one might expect to find similar reactions in nonhuman primates, which also produce screams. Thus far only one species of monkey has been tested, and it did not display the same aversive response to screeches that humans have. It may therefore be more appropriate to simply regard screeching sounds as a "perfect storm"—combining two properties that we know to be unpleasant, resulting in a single sound that is awful to listen to.

Moon Mountain Organic Artisan Vodka
Filed under: Spirits
The production processes for wines and spirits are about as different as night and day. Moon Mountain, however, seeks to bridge that divide with their new organic artisanal vodka.
Master distiller Gerry Webb dreamed up the vodka upon visiting the Moon Mountain Vineyard in Sonoma County, determined to apply the same craftsmanship and attention to detail to a distilled spirit. He then set about setting up small-batch, copper-pot distillation in the Midwest, made from grains grown in Minnesota and Indiana and bottling it at the latter as well.
The result is said to be exceptionally smooth and delicate, now hitting shelves nationwide with a suggested retail price of $19.99. Visit MoonMountainVodka.com for more information.

Honoring Owney, the Legendary Post Office Pup
It's been more than 120 years since a little dog named Owney trotted into an Albany, New York post office and took up residence there, sleeping among the mail bags. For nine years, Owney, by then a beloved pet to the mail clerks, served as the unofficial mascot of the U.S. Railway Mail Service, riding the rails from state to state. After his death, his body was preserved and spent decades on display at the Smithsonian Institution. When Owney was transferred in 1993 to the Smithsonian's new National Postal Museum, the scruffy Postal pub would became one of that museum's most popular attractions. This summer, Owney is finally being honored with his own postage stamp, one with interactive features sure to endear him to new generations.
"It's been in the works for a long, long, long time," says Nancy Pope, historian and curator at the National Postal Museum, who recalls that there has been talk of an Owney stamp since the 1980s. "People would ask, 'Shouldn't there be a stamp with Owney on it,' so it's been one of those things that people bring up on a regular basis."
According to Pope, new postage stamps are chosen each year by a group called the Citizen Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC). Made up mostly of of average American citizens, CSAC looks through tens of thousands of petitions and decides which new stamps will be issued. "I think Owney just got in CSAC's mind and they finally decided it's time [they] do something for this dog," says Pope.
A dog who was, by all accounts, extremely popular around the world. While researching Owney's adventures, Pope, along with museum intern Rachel Barclay, discovered frequent mentions of Owney and his travels in various newspapers of the era.
"[Owney] has traveled the length of every railroad in the United States and has seen the inside and enjoyed the hospitality of more post offices than the oldest inspector of the service," reported a January 4, 1895 article in the Hopkinsville Kentuckian.
And now, Owney's story is being re-told for a new generation. Next month the museum will be launching an Owney augmented reality experience on its website and via a free iPhone app that will be triggered by the Owney stamp image. "When you hold that image up to your iPhone or the camera on your computer, Owney will just kind of pop up off the stamp," Pope says. "He'll start trotting and there will be music. You will hear his tags jingle and then he'll sit down and bark."
The three-dimensional Owney stamp is only part of the re-telling of his story. There will also be a new exhibit and an e-book, which will teach children geography using Owney's rail travels as their guide.
"We really wanted to reinterpret how we talk about the Railway Mail Service connecting the nation, using Owney as the tool," Pope says. "[We want ] to really engage families and teachers into teaching how important the Railway Mail Service was through the eyes of a dog that people can really relate to."
The Owney Forever stamp will be released on July 27 and celebrated with a First Day of Issue Ceremony taking place at the Postal Museum, after which curators will debut the new Owney exhibit and the "Art of the Stamp: Owney the Postal Dog" exhibit, featuring original stamp art painted by artist Bill Bond. This ceremony, starting at 11 AM, will kick off the four-day Owney Family Fest. To learn more about Owney's amazing journey, check out the article on the storied pup in the magazine's upcoming September issue.

What a wonderful story. Can't wait for the stamp. As I read the article, I thought it would make a great series perhaps on PBS, Animal Planet, National Geographic, or several other choices. Hopefully, the new e-book will teach me geography as well (I've always been geographically impaired.) I always love the various new stamps, especially when dogs are involved. Thank you.
I bought his stamps and loved this article as well as the short info on the back of the stamps. Brought tears to my eyes as I am definitely a dog lover.
Owney was an amazing dog! I got a copy of this stamp from my fellow Sydney Philatelists.
You cannot imagine how excited I was to see the full page picture of Owney, and the following article. I grew up in Iowa, and in the late forties or early fifties, my family drove to Washington. Of course the Smithsonium Museum was on the agenda. I had read the story of Owney in a childrens magazine, and was determined to see him. I remember my mother trying to talk me out of the idea; "The museum is so big it would be impossible to find him—–they would never stuff a real dog—-it was just a story." In short, they did not believe my story. As soon as we went through the doors, I walked up to a man in a uniform and asked him if a little dog that rode the railroads was there, and he said, "Yes, and he is not far from here", and gave us directions. We spent the whole day at the museum, but all I remember from that day was that precious little dog. I have thought of him so many times through the years. I am so happy to see that his story still lives on.

what a wonderful story. Owney was such a marvelous dog. But when I read about how he was shot and died at Telton, OH post office, my heart broke and felt deeply sad. How could any one just killed an old, one eye blinded and a tired dog with one bullet. What was the untold story about Owney's death?
I hope everyone who loves the story of Owney will check out the new Ebook from the Smithsonian Institute US Postal Museum, called, Tales From The Rails. It's free and it's all true!! What an amazing animal he was.

Apr 8, 2011It's a good game and all but the ending really was SOOOO BAD. What the hell? How could you end something so horribly? What is wrong with 2K Games? Anyway, I really enjoyed it otherwise.
Oct 24, 2012Been a long time since I played this and never got a chance to do a review. I hate the art stlye in this game, I find it's horrible. Others may like it. Although I did not like this game what so ever and Borderlands 2 aswell. I wont give it a low score just because of that because I do believe that there is fun to be had in this game for most people, but it definatly isn't my cup of tea.

Jun 8, 2011Borderlands is definitely a first person shooter with RPG elements. It is focused on the massive amount of guns, powers, and enemies you can fight. While it does have a lack of captivating events in the main story, the DLC and side quests make up for that in some ways. This is a game for those who like a lot of guns, not for those who like a lot of storyline.
Jul 1, 2011This games have really nice graphics, millions of weapon all different with elemental power and an amazing game play.But it is a little bit repetitive and enemy are not intelligent.
Jul 12, 2011Borderlands so far has been an interesting RPG with many, many, fun guns. There are countless amount of guns, and each one are really fun to shoot. Definitely a game you should get.
Jul 16, 2011This game is simply awesome and a must buy for video game lovers. Its fairly long(about 35hrs),extremely fun and addicting , some very awesome weapons,and cool graphics,also it has claptraps,which are incredibly epic

Aug 5, 2013This game could've been so much more, but as a solo player the game was fairly boring,with the exception of a couple boss fights, and the story was just god awful.....so much wasted potential.

Sep 22, 2012I reviewed this game too harshly last time I gave it a 0! Because of a stupid glitch at the beginning that caused me to lose my level. So I tried again and this score is more honest. It's boring. Its glitchy, it really is samey! It's fun for the 4 person co-op but when I'm playing by myself I can't really be bothered! It's just like Borderlands!

Jan 19, 2012Its an original and insanely addictive shooter game. However it features a lot of flaws - An insanely long and boring campaign. Pathetic multiplayer. No replay value. Takes too long to get anything decent (weapons) in the game. Also there are more then a few annoying glitches. Its a fun but flawed shooter.

Jan 13, 2012Great game but needs more Achievements and i like how you get to level up and theres alot of dogs (or whatever they are ) so you can level up thats all i gotta say
Aug 3, 2013The best game in years, me mantuvo atrapado por meses, y mas por el componente cooperativo, sumarle a eso los DLC´s el juego se extiende muchisimo, me encanto por el sentido del humor de los personajes, la traduccion al español ,los graficos (cell shading)...
Feb 14, 2012Really good game, the gunplay is just as solid as what you find in call of duty, the looting is extremly addicte and the fact that you can do this with 3 buddys in a superb co-op campaign is just amazing. i dont know why i dont give this game a 10. ill give this game a 9 but its not far from a 10, play it now
Jun 22, 2013Borderlands is a different kind of FPS known as a RPS (Role-Playing Shooter). I can definitely understand the merit of such a game and it had a very solid base in XP, leveling up and such. Personally I didn't enjoy this game, possibly due to the fact that I'm not really good at gaming, but I can totally understand the love of the gameplay style and the overall presentation-based flair.

Mar 21, 2012This game is simply amazing! i can continuously play this game over and over and not get tired of it. would give it a 11/10! Cant wait for the second one!

Jun 18, 2012This is probably one of the best co-op games on the Xbox. There are dozens of hours of gameplay and quite a few guns to pick up. However, there isnt much of a story and most of the areas look the same. I liked the leveling system and the different classes. If you love going around killing things and picking up loot, Borderlands is for you
Jun 15, 2012This game is witty and addictive. I have been known to be glued to this game until the early hours. The combat and levelling system is great and the quests themselves are good too, although some of them can feel a little bit same-y. The first few missions are a little tedious too, but after that the game is well worth sinking your teeth into. Truly one of my favourite games.

Aug 8, 2012Borderlands is a great game, a fun shoot-em-up style with cool funky graphics and a good comedy ring to it, it is definitely more fun to play with your friends, trade weapons and help eachother out with the many quests.

Jun 25, 2013Though story and character are definitely sacrificed in favor of savory visuals and gameplay, the latter elements bolster "Borderlands" to a fairly enjoyable level.
Jan 15, 2013Borderlands é um ótimo game,uma mistura boa de FPS e RPG,o único contra é o fato da ambientação ser repetitiva,mas mesmo assim,quem procura um game de tiro frenético,borderlands é a melhor opção.

In short, Borderlands is a top-quality shooter and grind-fest.
A furiously successful RPG and FPS combination that doesn't fall short on either front. [Issue#52, p.86]
When a game has such vicious combat, an intriguing skill system, and full co-op capability, a mediocre story can be overlooked. Borderlands is a necessity for any fan of the FPS and RPG genres, or just down-right looting fun.

Honoring Combat Veterans With a Day of Fall Fun.
Finding ways to honor our veterans is something worth doing. A few days ago the Browning Guy was in Central Utah at an event dedicated to doing just that. Browning, along with other sponsors of the Warriors Afield Legacy Foundation event, was able to thank just a few combat veterans from all generations with a day of fun outdoor activities including upland hunting, ATVs, fishing and more.
Patriotism, Innovation, and Tradition.
Browning is proud to honor veterans of all generations, all across America, any chance we get. This past Fourth of July we ran a post on Facebook that attracted a great deal of interest from you, our customers. This post inspired one of our Browning web team members to write a brief tribute to veterans he has known.
The Trip Wire Knife is Wired for Cutting.
Most knife/ tool combos aren't meant for extended hard duty use. That is where the Trip Wire stands out from the crowd. The Browning Black Label Tactical Trip Wire incorporates a heavy duty wire cutter/stripper into the handle and tang, capable of cutting commercial chain link fencing and military concertina wire . . .
Browning Holiday Tax Relief is Here. Up to 8% Back.
When you buy a new Browning Firearm at retail between Nov. 27 and Dec. 31, 2013, you can receive a rebate of up to 8% of the purchase price to reimburse you for the state sales tax. That's just like putting the sales tax right back in your pocket. This is how it works: If you spend $1,000 on a new Browning rifle or shotgun, and you pay an 8% sales tax, you'll get an $80 reimbursement from Browning. Very easy!

Mark, your wish is my command!
I got an inner ear infection on that last day of work, haven't been able to get near it to solder the last three wires until today...
On the maiden voyage, I didn't want to go very fast because the brake booster isn't hooked up yet (I need a 3/8" to 1/2" hose adaptor) and until I repair the burned wiring on the taillights I can't hook up main system power - brake lights, turnsignals, etc.
Changing gears was easy - THE CLUTCH WORKS without a pilot bearing! It pulls away in first gear better than the old ICE did, but it felt like it was running out of ooophm at the magic 25mph mark. OTOH the ICE was slow to build speed too, and I didn't take the time to push it faster without vacuum assist for the brakes.
After making the video, I also soldered up my Jumbo Cycleanalyst, now I finally have access to the information I am used to, the data I need to see how the batteries perform. I think I'm just gonna talk to Victoria and get another batch of cells now, and take it up to 96v since I already have space in the battery tray. I have a feeling I'll get another batch after that and bump it up to 144v... then 180v...
TD, you were right - it was darn near silent inside. I was suprised to hear how loud it was in the video, but I think that is just tranny noise.
It's short, but so is life so enjoy!

"Nice above average hotel"
Stayed here for a quick 2 night stay to visit New Hope and Peddlers Village. While this place is kinda in the middle of nowhere, it was not a long drive to either location, and is near a main highway so it is easy to get to. It is also not terribly far from Philly if you plan on visiting various locations in the area. Hotel was clean, staff was very […] nice, and the bed was just average. The free breakfast was really nice, far better than the basic continental one lots of other places offer. It was not a bother to me, but this place is close to Sesame Place, so it did get noisy from kids here and there. Just take that into consideration if that is something that may get on your nerves.

I typically stay in Hampton Inns and usually have very good things to say about them. This was an OK Hampton Inn; fairly average stay for a hotel, but not as good as I would expect from a Hampton Inn. My only real complaint was the size of the beds - full size instead of queen. But to be fair, every hotel we looked at in this area (around Sesame Place) […] only had full size instead of queen. Not sure if it's a regional thing, but only area I've ever seen full size beds for so many hotels. Other than that, it was just....OK. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
