Patient Praise for Ball Chiropractic Center
"This is not twist-the-neck chiropractic. The only surprise was how great I felt after treatment."

"Their compassion and care for their patients is unparalleled."
"Ball Chiropractic Center is responsible for me being able to lead a mostly pain free life."
Upper Cervical Care - A Unique Approach to Health
Its primary focus is on locating and removing interference to the nervous system. The reason that's important is because the nervous system's function is to control and coordinate all activities in the body. By removing this interference, we can allow the body to heal itself naturally.
Upper cervical care focuses on the relationship between the first two bones in the neck, the atlas and axis respectively. When the atlas and axis become misaligned and out of their normal position you have a neurological interference resulting in body imbalance. This phenomenon is known as the Atlas Subluxation Complex Syndrome.
How Is The Atlas Subluxation Corrected?
Before correction can be made, there must be an accurate assessment of spinal misalignment. This assessment can only be obtained by looking at very precise x-rays. These views provide the doctor with a good understanding of how the atlas has misaligned with the skull above and the axis below.
A gentle adjustment to your neck helps to realign your neck to a balanced symmetrical position. Body balance is achieved when the atlas and axis are restored to their normal position influencing the whole spine and all body systems.
Can Upper Cervical Care Help Me?
Upper cervical care can help everyone. Infants to seniors, mothers-to-be, athletes, and accident victims will benefit from a healthy spine and nervous system! If you have a health problem, an upper cervical doctor will strive to correct its cause, not just treat the symptoms. If you are symptom free, upper cervical care is one of the best ways to stay healthy.

Preview: No. 1 Alabama travels to square off with No. 6 Texas A&M
Preview of No. 1 Alabama at No. 6 Texas A&M on Saturday in College Station, Tex.
No. 1 Alabama (1-0) at No. 6 Texas A&M (2-0)
Time:{} 2:40 p.m.
Line: Alabama by 7 1/2.
Series record: Alabama 3-2.
Last meeting:{} Nov. 10, 2012 in Tuscaloosa, Ala. -- Texas A&M 29, Alabama 24.
This is the first game of the season with true national championship implications. Alabama is looking forward to the rematch after the Aggies handed the Crimson Tide its only loss in last year's national championship season. The Aggies are out to prove that last year's game, which helped Johnny Manziel become the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, wasn't a fluke.

Manziel and A&M's up-tempo offense vs. the Alabama defense. Alabama coach Nick Saban has complained about up-tempo offenses like the one Texas A&M uses. That doesn't matter to A&M coach Kevin Sumlin, who laughed and said: "we're going to go as fast as we possibly can," when asked about it. Manziel threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 92 more to help A&M to the 29-24 victory in Tuscaloosa last year, and will likely need a similar performance Saturday.Matchup
WR/KR/PR Christion Jones. Jones earned SEC special teams player of the week honors in Week 1 after a 72-yard punt return for a touchdown and a 94-yard kickoff return for another score in Alabama's opener. He also had 47 yards receiving with a third score to finish with 256 all-purpose yards.Alabama wide receiver Christion Jones (22) runs past Virginia Tech defensive end Matt Roth (91) and linebacker Chase Williams (36) on a touchdown run from a punt return during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Aug. 31, 2013, in Atlanta.

Texas A&M:
CB Deshazor Everett. Saturday will be Everett's first full game after he sat out the first half of Texas A&M's opener serving a suspension for violating team rules before drawing his targeting penalty and another suspension in the second half against Rice. He intercepted Alabama's A.J. McCarron near the end zone in the fourth quarter to help secure win by the Aggies last season.
Saturday is Alabama's second trip to College Station and the first since 1988. ... Alabama has a 15-game winning streak away from Tuscaloosa, which is the longest active streak in the FBS. They haven't lost away from home since Nov. 6, 2010 at LSU. ... The Aggies have won eight straight games. ... Alabama is 41-0 since 2008 when it has fewer turnovers than its opponent. ... The Crimson Tide defense has held teams to less than 300 yards of offense in 53 of Saban's 82 games. ... The Aggies are fifth in the country in total offense by averaging 600 yards a game.

I can now include strollers in that category. I recently had a chance to try out a smooth-as-butter stroller, the Inglesina Avio, designed in Italy but also available here in the US.
- Rides smoothly
- One-hand folding (though I'm still learning how to do this one-handed)
- Extremely easy to push, even with one hand
- Seat is cushy and wide
- Seat easily reclines
- Generously-sized canopy, larger than other strollers--great for wind and light rain
- Viewing window on the canopy, so you can peek in on your child while walking
- Comes with a rain cover
- Easy to maneuver over bumps and curves
- Harness is easy to buckle (just 2 clicks for the 5 anchoring points)
- Includes adaptors for optional bassinet or to accommodate an infant car seat
- Waterproof material on the seat and canopy, which seems easy to take off for washing
- High price
- Foot rest is not entirely comfortable for larger kids
- No tray for the child (not convenient for drinks and snacks)
- Cup holder in a weird position (at the back bottom of the stroller)
- Under-carriage basket is accessible from the front, not the back. Not so convenient for parents
You can buy your own Inglesina Avio at Diapers.com. By entering the promo code AVIOFAST at checkout, you can receive a free fast table chair with your order.
Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Inglesina and received an Avio stroller to facilitate this review.

By Sharon Palmer, The Plant-Powered Dietitian
I'll let you in on a little secret. Weight loss, better health, longevity and an anti-inflammatory lifestyle can be found in your neighborhood grocery store. Whole grains, in particular, are an essential part of the secret to living a better, healthier life.
While there are so many fallacies out there regarding carbohydrates, there is no better time than September – Whole Grains Month – to put some of these misconceptions regarding carbohydrates and grains to rest. Yes, it's true that a diet packed in highly refined carbohydrates, such as those found in processed crackers, cereals, and pastries, may be increasing our risk of diseases; but, it's also true that intake of whole grains actually leads to health promotion. Whole grains not only provide carbohydrates, they are packed with antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and even protein – nutrients and compounds essential for fighting off disease and improving our chances for living well into our 90s.
Even better news is that whole grains taste delicious and are incredibly versatile in a variety of meatless recipes. When you focus on animal foods at every meal, your choices are limited to the basic beef, pork, chicken, or seafood selection. But when you plan your meals around plant foods – such as whole grains, including amaranth, barley, brown rice, buckwheat, bulgur, corn, millet, oats, quinoa, rye, sorghum, teff, wheat (including Kamut® wheat, farro, and spelt) and wild rice – the sky's the limit.
A wide variety of ethnic dishes, including those inspired by Mexican, Indian and African flavors, are anything but bland and boring. What's more, many of these ethnic cuisines use whole grains to form the foundation for a variety of recipes.
Antipasto Couscous with Chickpeas
A staple in North African cuisine, couscous is actually small pieces of semolina pasta made from whole grain flour. My whole grain couscous dish is based on a variety of flavorful preserved vegetables, such as sun-dried tomatoes, roasted peppers, and marinated artichoke hearts. You can keep these ingredients in your pantry and make this wholesome one-dish meal at a moment's notice. And it's just as good served cold as a salad.
Makes 6 servings
- 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 medium Red Onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, sliced
- Half 12-ounce jar drained, sliced Fire-Roasted Red or Yellow Peppers (about ½ cup)
- 1/2 cup canned marinated Mushrooms, drained
- Half 12-ounce jar marinated Artichoke Hearts, drained and sliced (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 cup cooked or canned Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans), no salt added, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup pitted Green Olives, drained
- 1 Tbsp Capers
- 1-1/2 cups Water
- 1 tsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp dried Oregano
- 1 cup uncooked Whole Wheat Couscous
- 1/3 cup chopped Pistachios
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, artichokes, chickpeas, olives, capers, water, vinegar, lemon pepper, paprika, and oregano. Cook until bubbly, about 3 minutes.
- Pour the couscous over the vegetable mixture (do not stir) then cover the pan and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Remove the cover and fluff the couscous with a fork. Sprinkle with the pistachios and serve immediately.
Notes: Chill this dish to serve it as a salad. If you plan on serving it much later, reserve the pistachios to keep them from getting soggy and sprinkle them on at the last minute.

Senator Kennedy Honors L. Nathan Hare, Community Action Organization for Dedicated Service to WNY
As African American History Month comes to a close, Senator Tim Kennedy honored a local man who has worked tirelessly to improve the quality of life for men and women throughout Western New York and New York State. Kennedy sponsored a resolution honoring L. Nathan Hare for his dedicated service to Western New York. Hare leads the Community Action Organization of Erie County, an organization that works every day to prevent and combat poverty in our community.
Floor Remarks from Senator Kennedy Honoring L. Nathan Hare
Today being March 1st, we've enjoyed the previous month remembering and honoring great African-American leaders who have made our nation and our state strong.
Great leaders whose names fill our history books and whose stories we teach our children.
As Black History Month comes to a close, I wanted to take this opportunity to honor and share the story of a man who has worked tirelessly to strengthen neighborhoods and to improve the quality of life in Western New York and across the state.
L. Nathan Hare – his work and his leadership are rewriting the modern history of Buffalo and Western New York.
Nathan Hare runs the Community Action Organization of Erie County – which is one of the oldest anti-poverty organizations in the nation.
As just the third executive director of the agency since 1965, Nathan is leading CAO as it enters a new era where the challenges remain great and the commitment to our community remains unwavering.
As many of you know, the City of Buffalo struggles with poverty. As one of the poorest cities in the country, far too many families have fallen below the poverty line.
We are working hard to help these families climb out of poverty – and no one is working harder than Nathan Hare.
For more than 30 years, he has dedicated his career to breaking the cycle of poverty – extending his hand to countless men and women in need of help.
He has placed a special focus on youth employment, education, foster care and juvenile justice. His aim has been empowering young people to succeed academically and professionally and to achieve greatness for the community.
To meet these goals, he has helped maintain and expand a comprehensive youth development program – himself creating an initiative called N.U.R.T.U.R.E., or Neighborhood United for Restoration, Upliftment, Recreation and Education.
By reviving the Neighborhood Services Department and establishing the Family Development Department, he has demonstrated his dedication to building stronger neighborhoods and stronger families in Western New York – which are essential to improving the quality of life and supporting the fabric of our community.
The Community Action Organization and Nathan Hare have always encouraged active citizen participation to spark positive change and to advance educational, economic and social initiatives that will help our community thrive.
Nathan Hare's work and leadership have inspired young people to achieve greatness. He has helped families grow stronger and escape poverty. He has helped give low-income and working poor families a voice. And he has led the way in uniting elected officials and community leaders under the goal of building a safer, more vibrant community.
When the modern history of Western New York and New York State is written, I'm sure the valiant and determined efforts of Nathan Hare will be described in detail.
I thank Nathan for his commitment to our community, and I look forward to continuing to work with him to build a stronger and more prosperous Buffalo and Western New York.

If you have not seen this movie and do not want any spoilers, please exit this post STAT … by viewing my wish list.
Sounds like a twisted form of Brokeback mountain. Of course the juju makes it a distinctly Nigerian original.
To God be the Glory.
pls, where did you see the movie? online? which site?
Nigerin movies are really getting annoying. yesterday i tried to watch nollywood hustlers. was so disappointed
LMAO! Of course only juju would make a so-called straight man gay! Silly movie, would rather not watch thanks for the heads up. 😀
Naija movies can be higly silly atimes…but sme are quite interesting though!:)
Hmmm, What we suffer is it small?!
This one even had little bit of storyline and made a lil bit interesting by good actors and actresses, what about the ones acted by boring and annoying people who say they can act.?
God abeg o!
Abeg where can we find this movie? Ego du jour and I want to make a movie date out of it.
LOL. Correction, you cannot spoil a Nollywood movie…The poster, plus the song, and the trailer…tells the entire story…
This is why I only watch epic Nigerian movies with traditionalist storylines. Shio. i cant even believe the plotline…
Thanks Vera, I won't even bother to watch. All the actors here mentioned suck big time! Mschew.
This is just why I can't move back to Nigeria..
People are just to backward, so a person cannot be gay now without Juju being responsible for it.
hahahaha! ROTFL!! LMAO!!! Geez! And you wrote the post so well! I'm still howling with laughter! I can't believe that (1) a gay movie was produced and (2) juju made him gay and (3) gay people are being arrested along with murderers!
This is why i don't like most Nigerian movies- it's not about not being patriotic, it's that they're just darn STUPID!!!!! Everything can be blamed on juju! SMH!
Great post! You can check up on me if you like: http://adiyaatu.wordpress.com/
God, I'm still laughing.
I'm wondering if there wasn't any juju involved in the wife's breaking a bottle on another person's head.
Maybe the Censors Board had a hand in the ending to make it acceptable to those millions of conservative Nigerians.
LOL @Ms O! You are so right!
As for the juju copout, if she didn't put it there they might have petrol bombed her house. Since she has broken the ice, maybe a realistic director will make a better movie out of the same premise.
The script writer might have written a good story but the marketer or producer might have told her to change the story…homosexuals are not condoned in Niaja and I wonder the day they would stop blaming juju for their actions in Nigeria
Somebody: Seriously oh! To God be the glory indeed. LOL.
Naija Shawty: No, sweetie, not online. I watched it on DVD which I bought. I don't know about its availability online. I don't like watching movies on my computer.
JobsForNigeria: Really? Awww. Uche Jombo's movie. I was actually looking forward to seeing it. I'll still watch it. I like Uche.
Luscious Ron: Abi oh! Juju is clearly the only thing that can be responsible for a straight man deciding to get it through his anus. It has nothing to do with what he actually wants/likes.
No Limit: Yeah, some are good. Most are crap. Sometimes, they get it good … until the last part, that's when they pull the plug.
2Cute4U: Oh, many times have I suffered like that! LOL. But I no longer have the patience to do so. Once I sense bs, I'm done.
Lexistrix: I didn't watch it online. I have the actual DVD. I bought it from the African store.
Ms. O: LOL! You've got a point there. Watching the preview below, you can tell already what happens. LOL.
Lucid: Honestly, considering that down low homosexuality does exist everywhere, I thought it was a good script … until that part. Of course, there were some hitches in between, but nothing as bad as that mess up.
Temmy Tayo: LOL. Aww, you think they all suck, really? I don't think their acting sucks sha, but this scrips na real wa.
Azazel: LOL. Ah, yes oh, apparently. If you're gay and in Nigeria, it must be the handiwork of juju.
Adiya: Yes, oh! Juju made him gay … and made him fall in love with the guy, too. Yeah, whatever.
Azuka: LOL. Well, that one comes with the territory (of being Nigerian), I guess. LOL. That's what we like to do anyway. Tehehe.
Myne: You say "conservative" Nigerians, I say "dumb." Yeah, I said it.
Caramel: In other words, we're going to continue watching the same movie over and over with little tweaks (cause you know that's what Nollywood does anyway)? lol
Lara: Well, since there's [currently] no way for me to know whose idea it was for this script to end this way, I have no choice but to blame the writer.
What a stupid movie. I don't even want to go into the 'date rape' being made to look 'romantic'? does the screen writer have an email? hisssssssssss

Motorola is now accepting pre-orders for the WiFi-only Xyboard tablet.
As the successor to the original Xoom, the 10.1-inch Xyboard was announced last year in November and has been claimed to be lighter and thinner than the Xoom by 10 percent and 33 percent, respectively. Most notably, the announcement lacked any references to Wi-Fi only models. This mimicked the launch of the Xoom last year where a Wi-Fi only model was not officially offered until months later.
The Xoom Xyboard includes a dual-core 1.2GHz OMAP CPU and runs Android Honeycomb out of the box. Two distinct sizes exist, an 8.2-inch model and a 10.1-inch model, each with a 1280x800 resolution display. An Android ICS update is expected to come sometime later this year.
The Wi-Fi Xyboard starts at $399 for the 8.2-inch 16GB SSD, although the larger 10.1-inch 32GB SSD model will cost $200 more. The announcement of these tablets coincides with the recent price drop of the WWAN-equipped Droid Xyboard for Verizon. Either way, the contract-free Xyboards are anticipated to ship on January 18th and may hopefully make an appearance at CES.

For anyone who tuned in to the Dallas Cowboys' home opener against the New York Giants last night, game watchers were met not only by Jerry Jones's new stadium and his whale-sized television but also by a jovial President George W. Bush, who tossed the first coin along with former First Lady Laura Bush. Later, W was spotted sitting next to the formidable football commentator John Madden. It must have been a relief for Bush to talk football and not foreign policy. Today the ex-prez is headed back to the stadium to kick off an initiative involving young people and community service.
Former President Bill Clinton is continuing his pledge to back San Francisco's Mayor Gavin Newsom for California gubernatorial run, as Clinton is attending two events with Newsom in Los Angeles, on October 5. Clinton's support is a big deal since the ex-president is hugely popular in California, and Newsom is lagging in fundraising behind his Democrat competitor, California attorney general Jerry Brown.Meanwhile, Clinton is taking advantage of the large number of international dignitaries who will be in New York City this week for the 64th United Nations' General Assembly meetings: he'll host the Clinton Global Initiative's annual conference, where world leaders come together to discuss economic, social, and environmental challenges.
And what about almost ex-president John Edwards? As reported in the New York Times this weekend, Edwards's former aide Andrew Young claims that Edwards once calmed his mistress Rielle Hunter by promising her that after his wife died, he would marry her in a rooftop ceremony in New York with an appearance by the Dave Matthews Band. John, you really know how to woo the women. If only that line had worked in middle school ...

Magnesium diecasting in small and medium-sized batches
More than a lightweight
As the lightest metal construction material, magnesium is extremely attractive for many lightweight construction applications. Due to the high strength of magnesium in comparison to its weight, magnesium diecasting is particularly suitable for many types of equipment housings. Magnesium is attractive for more than just its weight – due to the low viscosity of the melt, highly complex components can be manufactured with thinner walls and larger surface areas than diecast aluminum. The good heat conductivity and electromagnetic screening of diecast magnesium make it attractive for many segments of machine construction and the electronics industry. The disadvantage of high corrosion from other metals or acids can be counted by high purity magnesium alloys, design measures and suitable surface protection such as passivation, anodizing or coatings.
Development partner
G.W.P. AG supplies ready-to-install diecast magnesium parts for lightweight industrial components. We view ourselves as a partner in development and aim to establish long-term, strong customer relationships. G.W.P. specializes in meeting the growing demand for small and medium-sized batches of magnesium diecast parts; this allows us to offer small batches of diecast magnesium at extremely competitive prices. Low-cost dies for diecast magnesium components give our customers the decisive edge.

UNBORN CHILD PAIN AWARENESS ACT OF 2006 -- (House of Representatives - December 06, 2006)
Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 6099, the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act of 2006. This bill mandates that a woman seeking an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy be given a written brochure stating that research indicates that a fetus at that stage of development will feel pain during an abortion.
This bill also requires a doctor to offer the woman anesthesia for the fetus which she may either accept or decline.
Mr. Speaker, the problem with this legislation is that the medical and scientific community has yet to reach a consensus with regard to the issue of when and if a fetus feels pain. In fact, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, along with physicians who are experts in fetal anesthesia and fetal surgery, know of no legitimate scientific data or information that supports these views. Despite this, Congress has decided to play politics with women's health.
This legislation may put women at risk. There is no evidence to show the effects on a woman by providing anesthesia directly to a fetus during an abortion. Without proper medical studies, we have no way of knowing how such procedures will affect a woman's health at the time of the abortion or in the future.
Mr. Speaker, supporters of this bill will argue that it includes an assurance that doctors who disagree with materials contained within these mandated brochures may offer their own views to patients. But what good comes from a doctor handing their patient a brochure and then conveying opposition to what is inside it? Instead of helping patients, Congress is interfering with a doctor's best medical judgment as well as the doctor-patient relationship.
Mr. Speaker, clearly written in this case by anti-choice advocates, these brochures are biased and define an abortion as ``the process of being killed.'' Normally I would support legislation which aims to offer women as much information as possible with respect to their medical decisions. Ensuring that patients have access to all of the important and relevant medical information should always be a priority for Congress, but this bill plays politics with those goals. Instead, it provides mandated, misleading information to women without proper scientific knowledge.
I urge my colleagues to vote against this bill. I think it is ill-advised. I think it sets a bad precedent for the type of information that is provided to patients. There is absolutely no reason why this should be mandated.

Most likely culprit?
Took my new-to-me Savage 111 in .270 out for the first time today. No accutrigger, cheaper Bushnell scope shooting 150 Grn Remington Core-Lokt (rounded bullets, not even the pointed ones). I was shooting off a bipod on big cement table, and had towels folded up under the stock. Overall it was pretty solid, although the chair was a little too low for the height of the table.
At 100 yards, I had a 4 shot group where 3 were in a little over an inch and one was about 4" high. I had a second group that was 5 shots, 3 were in about a 1.75" group and I had 2 that were about 4" high. Very random that both groups had fliers 4" high. A third group was strung out horizontally, but I think that was me with bad trigger control because I was getting a little cold.
The question is about the 4" fliers. I'm no trained sniper, but most days I do pretty good. One guess is the scope. Have you ever heard or seen a scope that would bounce around its zero, but bounce consistently? The one scope I've had that went bad was literally all over the place. The second theory is the bullets, specifically because of the wind. Can rounded bullets be affected that much at only 100 yards? It was windy and blowing from about my 10 to my 4. Those are the rounds that came with the rifle, I would have never bought them myself.
One other note, when I was shooting at 25 yards to get a close sighting in, the first 3 shots were amazingly accurate, even considering it was at 25 yards. There was very little wind when I first got out there. I was pretty impressed and was starting to think I had completely lucked out. Because of this I'm leaning towards wind pushing the rounded bullets around more than I'm used to it pushing my normal pointed ones.
I'll replace the scope eventually, but I wanted ask because this kind of a weird problem I've never seen before.
Sorry for the long post!
The Jeep has been a lot of fun, but time to come back to my first hobby.. shooting.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- Fast food chains such as McDonald's ( MCD), Burger King ( BKC) and Yum! Brands' ( YUM) KFC and Taco Bell don't go global by cooking up the same old burgers and fries in every country.Chains wishing to hang a shingle in a new country generally follow a strategy known as "localization," tailoring their menus to fit local tastes. In some cases it's subtle (in China, for instance, you can get chili garlic sauce with your McNuggets), while in other cases the menu is almost unrecognizable (in India, you won't find any beef or pork at burger chains).
|From the McVeggie to the Meat Monster, there's plenty of calories you can't sample from overseas fast food menus.
When most people want to put something on their burgers, they usually think of toppings such as cheese, bacon, onions and tomatoes. The geniuses at Burger King put all of that on, then decided to throw on a chicken breast for good measure. The result is the Meat Monster, a sandwich available at Burger King in Japan only. Perhaps the beast of a burger was meant to appeal to Japan's love of kaiju (monster) movies; in any case, we know it appeals to us. Bring this one stateside, Burger King. McVeggie (McDonald's, India)
McDonald's has never been a preferred destination for vegetarians. While the fries no longer contain beef flavoring (the company discontinued the practice in 2001 in response to a lawsuit), meat-free customers still don't have too many choices beyond a few token salads. Things are a bit different in India, though. Hinduism is the dominant religion there, which forbids consumption of beef and pork, and vegetarianism is widespread. The result is the rare spectacle of a McDonald's with no hamburgers. In addition to the standard Filet-O-Fish, you also get the Chicken Maharaja Mac and the McVeggie, the latter of which uses bread, potato, peas, carrots and Indian spices. McZuri (McDonald's, Switzerland)
Starting this month, McDonald's Switzerland is rolling out experimental items that cater to local tastes. While the McGrillschnagg -- a sausage made from Swiss pork -- certainly looks appetizing, the standout star for us is the McZuri, made from 100% Swiss veal. Yes, we said veal. The patty is accompanied by mushrooms and caramelized onions. Apparently McDonald's is a bit more upscale in Europe.

Spousal illness can trigger partner death
Landmark widower effect/caregiver burden studyBOSTON, MA� In the largest study ever to quantify caregiver burden and the widower effect, researchers found that for people aged 65 and older, hospitalization of a spouse can harm the wellbeing of his or her partner and significantly contribute to that partner's death. This risk also varies with the ill spouse's diagnosis. The study appears in the Feb. 16 New England Journal of Medicine. "Our study shows that people are connected in such a fashion that the health of one person is related to the health of another," reports Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD, professor in the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School.
With coauthor Paul Allison, PhD, professor and chair of the University of Pennsylvania Department of Sociology, Christakis examined the effect of illness in one spouse on the risk of illness in a partner--commonly called the "caregiver burden." Concurrently, they looked at the effect of the death of one spouse on the mortality of the other, known as the "widower effect." By considering these effects together for the first time, the authors were able to assess the implications of specific illnesses or diseases for a partner's risk of death.
The findings, says Christakis, are striking. "When a spouse is hospitalized, the partner's risk of death increases significantly and remains elevated for up to two years," he notes. The period of greatest risk is over the short run, within 30 days of a spouse's hospitalization or death. Over this time frame, hospitalization in a spouse can confer to a partner almost as much risk of dying as the actual death of a spouse.
"Spousal illness or death may impose stress on a partner or deprive a partner of social, emotional, economic, or other practical support," says Christakis. "When a spouse falls ill or dies, partners may increase harmful behavior, such as drinking. Stress and lack of social support may also adversely affect immunologic measures, so spousal hospitalization may have physiological effects on partners."
"This is a highly innovative study--in an enormous sample of older people--demonstrates yet another important connection between social networks and health," says Richard M. Suzman, PhD, associate director of the National Institute of Aging for Behavior and Social Research. "We don't yet know the full extent to which social networks affect health. We need to explore the mechanisms behind the stresses associated with these hospitalizations as we look for ways to protect people when their central relationships are disrupted."
The study found that certain illnesses in a spouse are more harmful to partners than others. The more a disease interferes with a spouse's physical or mental ability, and the more burdensome it is, the worse for the health of the partner.
The study also found that specific illnesses impacted the spouse differently. For instance, among men with hospitalized wives, if the wife was hospitalized for colon cancer, there was almost no effect on her husband's mortality. But if a wife was hospitalized with heart disease, her husband's risk of death was 12 percent higher than it would be if the wife was not sick at all. If a wife was hospitalized with dementia, her husband's risk was 22 percent higher. Similar effects were seen in women whose husbands were hospitalized.
Further analyses also confirmed that the death of a spouse within the past 30 days was harmful. The death of a wife in the previous 30 days increased her husband's risk of death 53 percent, and the death of a husband increased his wife's risk of death by 61 percent.
Beginning in 1993 and continuing for nine years, the authors studied 518,240 couples--more than 1 million people--between the ages of 65 and 98 who were enrolled in Medicare. Over the nine years, 383,480 husbands (74 percent) and 347,269 wives (67 percent) were hospitalized at least once, and 252,557 husbands (49 percent) and 156,004 wives (30 percent) died. The mean age of men in the study was 75 years and the mean age of women was 72 years. This is the largest study of its kind.
Additionally, the authors considered how age, race, and the level of poverty modified the mortality risk of a having a sick spouse. For women, the effect of a husband's hospitalization increased with age and the level of poverty. For men, the effect of a wife's hospitalization increased only with age.
Although illness and death both create stress and have a negative effect on social support for a partner, these results operate over various time frames. This study found that the stress effect may last for a few weeks or months, and the support effect may last for several years. Eventually, the healthy partner adapts to the stress effect, so that the health risks of being a caregiver decline. However, the lack of social support that is associated with the illness or death of a partner becomes a problem, and health risks in the partner increase again.
"Our work suggests that interventions might decrease the mortality of caregivers," says Christakis. "Interventions are likely to be useful in certain diseases, such as stroke and dementia, and the timing of such interventions might be matched to the riskiest times for caregivers, for example, just after the hospitalization of the spouse."
"It seems clear that a person's illness or death can have health consequences for others in his or her social network," Christakis says. "This means that efforts to reduce disease, disability, and death can be self-reinforcing, since a decrease in the burden of these events in one person can have a cascading benefit for others. The training and assistance of caregivers can lower costs and also improve the health of patients and caregivers alike."
This work was supported by the National Institute on Aging, a division of the National Institutes of Health.

Bio of Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD
Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD, is an internist and social scientist who investigates social factors that affect the delivery and outcomes of medical care. He is a professor in the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School and in the Department of Sociology at the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences; he is also an attending physician in the Palliative Medicine Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, caring for people who are terminally ill.
Christakis' past work has examined the role of prognosis in medicine, ways of improving end-of-life care, and the impact of a good versus bad deaths on the health of bereaved spouses. Currently, he is principally concerned with how illness, health risks, and death in one person can spread and have consequences for others in a person's social network. Some current work, including the present study, is focused on the health benefits of marriage and on how ill health in one spouse can have cascading effects on the other spouse. It seems likely that improving the health of one partner in a couple can have meaningful effects on the health of the other, and that both of the parties and society-at-large would benefit from this.

Watch: Stephen Curry hits pregame shot from tunnel before Game 2
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry hit a shot from the tunnel to end his pregame routine before Game 2 of the Western Conference finals against the Houston Rockets.
Curry, who attempts the shot before every game, did it on his first try on Thursday. According to Bleacher Report's Kevin Ding, Curry tries the shot fewer than five times per pregame. An Oracle Arena usher told Ding that a month ago, Curry hit the shot before five games in a row.
In Game 1 of the series, Curry scored 34 points and made a buzzer beater to end the first half to help the Warriors win 110–106. After the game, his daughter Riley stole the show in the postgame press conference.

Extinct Sense
IT LOOKS LIKE another story of endangered ethics on the Bush administration's environmental staff. Last week the Interior Department's inspector general submitted the results of an investigation of Julie A. MacDonald, the deputy assistant secretary for fish and wildlife and parks, to congressional overseers.
According to numerous accounts collected in the inquiry, Ms. MacDonald has terrorized low-level biologists and other employees for years, often yelling and even swearing at them. One official characterized her as an "attack dog." Much of this bullying, the report suggests, was aimed at diluting the scientific conclusions and recommendations of government biologists and at favoring industry and land interests. Ms. MacDonald's subordinates said she has trenchantly resisted both designating new species as endangered and protecting imperiled animals' habitats. She defended her interventions in an interview with the inspector general's staff, saying that she kept Interior's scientists accountable, according to the report. But the evidence available suggests she was at the least too aggressive.
H. Dale Hall, director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, recounted a battle he had with Ms. MacDonald over the Southwest willow flycatcher, an endangered bird. Biologists in the field concluded that the bird's nesting range, which determines how much land the government should protect as habitat for the species, was 2.1 miles. Mr. Hall claims that Ms. MacDonald insisted on lowering that to 1.8 miles so that the nesting range would not extend into California, where her husband maintained a family ranch. The inspector general noted that she has no formal training in biology.
The inspector general's review of Ms. MacDonald's e-mail account also showed that she had close ties to lobbying organizations that have challenged endangered-species listings and that she had "misused her position" to give them information not available to the public on Interior Department policy.
Reports of Ms. MacDonald's alleged sins have emerged soon after revelations of other ethical lapses by Bush environmental appointees. J. Steven Griles, the former second in command at Interior, pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the Jack Abramoff scandal. And Sue Ellen Wooldridge, formerly the government's top environmental lawyer, jointly purchased a vacation home with Mr. Griles and a lobbyist for ConocoPhillips. These are troubling incidents.
Ms. MacDonald works for an agency tasked with making determinations based on scientific fact, not on her, or her lobbyist friends', inclinations. She appears to have betrayed that vital principle. The inspector general has sent his report to top officials at the Interior Department. They should investigate for themselves the document's troubling descriptions and take action to ensure that Ms. MacDonald and other managers at Interior make policy fit the science, not the other way around.

Nov. 24, 2010
By Jack Smith
Lee Ziemba was a sophomore at Rogers High School in Arkansas when he faced the biggest test of his football career.
Buke Mardanlou was a 6-3, 290 pound senior defensive end for rival Van Buren High School. He was big. He was fast. He was the fiercest player Ziemba had ever faced. For the first time in his career, Ziemba's size and strength alone would not be enough to dominate his opponent.
"I got challenged that week," Ziemba said. "All week long, my coach told me I was going to be challenged like I had never been challenged before. I remember putting a picture of Buke on the background of my computer. I saw that all week. I knew Buke was going to be on me every snap."
Ziemba more than held his own--limiting the biggest and most physical player he had ever faced to a handful of tackles.
"Basically, that was the most physical high school game I ever played in and the toughest challenge for me," Ziemba said. "I ended up kicking his tail."
It was a turning point for Ziemba, who had relied on his sheer size to dominate opponents ever since he played peewee football in Arkansas. Lee's father, Mike, remembers that game well.
"They battled that whole night," Mike said. "They were clawing and scratching and fighting. That' s when the light came on for Lee about how physical you had to be. You couldn't just be bigger. That kid didn't make but a couple of tackles all night. When the game was over, I had to help Lee get from the car to the house. He was done. He had nothing left. He left everything he had out there."
That night put Ziemba on a path to stardom and made him a prized recruit. After six visits to top schools across the country, Ziemba ended up at Auburn, where his father graduated and his mother, Dawn, played in the band.
Six years removed from that Friday night in Arkansas when Ziemba first realized just how bright his football future could be, Ziemba is on the cusp of setting a new school record for durability and consistency at Auburn. He will start his 50th game at left tackle when the Tigers face Alabama on Friday. With two more games beyond the Iron Bowl, Ziemba will go down in the history books as Auburn's all-time Iron Man--at one of the most physically demanding positions on the field.
Even though his coach marvels at his durability, Ziemba dismisses the significance of the streak. He's more interested in goals not yet attained for Auburn's undefeated team. He desperately wants to beat Alabama for the first time since his sophomore season, his toughest as a Tiger.
After a stellar first year at Auburn, when he was named a First Team Freshman All-American by several media outlets, Ziemba hit a sophomore slump. It all started with a knee injury during two-a-days prior to the season. He elected to tough it out with a torn meniscus and have surgery after the season, which unraveled into a miserable campaign that ended with a losing record and a bitter season-ending loss to Alabama. The devastating loss in Tuscaloosa was followed by knee surgery and the resignation of the coach that recruited him to Auburn.
"I was on crutches when all of that happened," Ziemba said. "It was a low, low time in my life. Everything was uncertain."
Ziemba's fortunes, and his outlook, changed when Gene Chizik was hired as head coach.
"Coach Chizik was honest and up front from that very first meeting," Ziemba said. "He came in and said that he was going to hire the best coaching staff in America, which he did. He told us that we were in this together even though we didn't know him and he didn't know us. He was a great leader from the start, and he hasn't changed at all. He really helped us all get our confidence back."
Another turning point for Ziemba came when Chizik hired Jeff Grimes to coach the offensive line. Grimes, a cerebral teacher of the game who quickly gained the respect of his players, pushed Ziemba from the start. It didn't take long for Ziemba to earn the respect of his new position coach.
"I pushed him as a person and a player from the moment we got here," Grimes said. "There is always some resistance when a new staff comes in and there is a new way of doing things, and there was a little bit of that initially with Lee. But I quickly found that Lee was a great kid and a great person who comes from a great family."
Grimes said it didn't take Ziemba long to buy into the Chizik way--a no-nonsense approach to football balanced out by the family atmosphere that he and his staff fostered from the start. Chizik, who often tells his players that Auburn is a special place, turned out to be the perfect fit for Ziemba.
"One of the things I have always noticed about Lee is how much he cares about Auburn," Grimes said. "He has a deep love for Auburn. The Auburn Family means something to him. I think that was a big part of him coming back for his senior year. He wanted to give more to Auburn."
Ziemba and his close-knit teammates on the offensive line have been a huge reason for Auburn's rise to national prominence and a key cog in Gus Malzahn's explosive offense.
Grimes says Ziemba has always had what can't be coached--sheer size, good feet and a big frame, but he's been most impressed by Ziemba's intelligence and his insatiable desire to get better at his trade.
"I think intelligence is more important for an offensive lineman than for any other position, save the quarterback," Grimes said. "You have to think while you are playing and you have to know what you are doing. You have to recognize defensive fronts and blitz looks and that sort of thing. One thing I have always enjoyed about Lee is that he is a very inquisitive person. He's interested in things that some offensive linemen don't care about it. He has a lot of questions about the game. I appreciate that because I try to teach the guys about the big picture rather than just what they do on specific plays."
Grimes notes that Ziemba, who came into the 2010 season as one of the most reliable and experienced players on the team, was named one of the two most improved players following spring drills.
"The fact that he received that award as a senior says a lot about him as a player and a person," Grimes said. "Last spring and summer, if he wasn't in class or working out, he was in the building watching film to learn more football. That helped him become a much more technical player who really understands the game and what we're trying to do."
That has never been more evident than this season, when Auburn's offense has at times been unstoppable behind Ziemba and a veteran offensive line. Whether blocking on a reverse, protecting his quarterback in the pocket or knocking defenders off the ball for an inside run, Ziemba has been a model of consistency.
"We run more reverses than most people do, and on 90 percent of our reverses, Lee is at the point of attack," Grimes said. "That's something that a lot people probably don't see. The other thing that sets him apart from a lot of other left tackles is his ability to knock people off the football. With us running the football as much as we have this year, he has been a big part of that. His ability to be a great run blocker has been a big part of our success this year."
While his collegiate career is quickly winding down and big goals are still within reach for his team, Ziemba already has his sights set far into the future--even beyond a career in the NFL. He dreams of one day returning to the place he calls home.
"I definitely want to have a successful professional career. I've been blessed with a body to do this and I want to do this as long as I can. I think it is a good platform to reach people for Christ, and a good platform to impact kids and get them going the right way. But when I'm done, I'm coming back to Auburn. I love this place too much. I want to live in Auburn, maybe do a little coaching, teach and drive a school bus in the morning. It's hard to imagine a better life than that."

These are two ideas that have always confounded me. These are two concepts that have always eluded me. These two concepts are some of the most basic functions of humanity; these concepts are some of the most basic ideas of humanity. Without them, social society would cease to exist, without them the world would cease to be as it is today.
Good and bad. Positive and negative. I have always been afraid of both of these. Why you may ask. Why should I fear two simple words? Two simple ideas? It is due to the nature of these words, the power these words and concepts have on our own identity. We strive to be good.
We seemingly always strive toward eradicating the negatives in our lives. Well, how does one do that? How does one go about erasing the negatives in life? How does one go about erasing the evils that we are so accustomed toward? How does one go about creating a new structure in life, a structure that will negate such evil?
It would seem to be government. Government is the structure that holds society together. It is government that allows society to function. Look at countries without a stable government. Somalia is one such country, and tens of thousands of deaths occur due to the lack of a 'good.' The good has been replaced only with a bad, the basic human instinct to kill and power over others. There are warlords; there are militias who want control of the country for themselves. Rather than ally with another they are afraid, they know that others only want what is best for them, they know others only desire power over another. So they fight. And fight. And fight.
Well then we are so lucky to be in America, are we not? We live in a society with a stable government, a society in which individuals interact as social beings without harm inflicting upon another. We live in a society in which each other are allies of another, at least ideally. Sometimes we equate others as good and bad though violence rarely occurs. The worst is a small fight if it does occur, rather than a vicious gunfight. Not to say that these scenarios never happen, yet they are rarer than in countries without a stable good, without a stable government.
Yet we continue to equate each other. We visualize each other and we judge based upon that. Some people we feel we can form a cliché with, others we cannot. We recognize that some of these people are too different, and we often believe them to be bad. Why is that? Is it because we cannot gain power over them?
Is the master-slave dynamic too evident in our own life? The dynamic in which one desires power over another? No, not a literal master and slave. The idea in which one wants to impose their own will upon another and will do nearly everything in their power to do so. The idea that their own power is eternal- their own power dominant over another. Is that why we attempt to equate some as good, others as evil?
Surely it cannot be so simple. No, no. I cannot subscribe to such a notion. It seems barbaric to believe that such a dynamic exists in nature…within all of us. We have yet to transcend nature. We have yet to break away from the primordial ideas that sculpt our very being. We are slaves, we are masters. We want to be in control, we submit only to try to get ahead eventually.
The Solution
So we are all evil then it would seem. We are all bad, we are all abhorrent creatures bent on destroying another's will for self-gain. Then what is the point of existence at its very core? Social function purely serves to benefit one's desire for power. Hell, not only social function all function. Even in our own mind, we are trying to get ahead of another.
Then the answers seem to appear. They have been there all along. The only way to equate the imbalance in good and evil is to eradicate it completely. The only way to get rid of evil and good, the only way to get rid of such primordial concepts is to get rid of humanity.
Look into my eyes. What do you see? A creature filled with hate. A creature filled with fear. A creature trying to equate the fundamental structure of humanity. A creature who will be the last thing you ever see. A creature who sees your end- a creature who will ultimately eradicate themselves in the process.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, 2011/10/07 - The Canadian Construction Association launched a new website for the organization, and opened the registration for its 2012 Annual Conference.
The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) today launched a brand new website for the organization, featuring streamlined navigation, a modernized look, and updated content for CCA members and the general public.
The bilingual website is part of an overall strategy to improve CCA communications to its membership and to those outside the organization. The new website also features CCA social media links, including YouTube (youtube.com/ConstructionCAN), LinkedIn (linkedin.com/company/canadian-construction-association---association-canadienne-de-la-construction), and Twitter (twitter.com/ConstructionCAN), where members and the general public can find out more about CCA activities.
As more and more business and communication is done online, we knew we would have to take an objective look at our current web presence, said Pierre Boucher, Chief Operating Officer of CCA. Our previous website was becoming out-of-date, so it became very important to us that we create a modern and intuitive web design for CCA. Needless to say, we are very pleased with the results.
In addition to the change in layout and design, much of the content has been edited and updated. An improved search function makes content easier to find, and the website can also be quickly and easily changed to ensure pertinent information is readily available.
As well, the new website also features a brand new design, including a registration site for the CCA Annual Conference, being hosted next year in Savannah, Georgia from March 11-16, 2012. The site features all the details for the conference, including program, speaker and accommodation information. Registration for the conference opened this week, and will continue until March of 2012.
We felt it was very important to launch the conference registration site in conjunction with our new website launch, Boucher continued. The CCA Annual Conference is a premiere event on the CCA calendar, and it was only fitting to provide an enhanced image for the conference with a new and improved website.

Metal Detector Treasure Finds, Pictures and Stories
1777 USA Continental Army General Service Enlisted Soldier's Button
I purchased my DFX from Barbara at Kellyco last month and have been having a great time. The site I'm hunting on is an old stone foundation on a relative's farm in CT. We knew the site had 18th century pottery, nails, pipes and other odds and ends. I was shocked when the first week with my DFX I was getting a 17+ VDI in the stone foundation. I moved a few rocks from the wall and there sitting nicely protected from the elements was this 1777 USA Continental Army General Service enlisted soldier's button.
I took it to a military button expert to have it authenticated that following week and was graded as "excellent" condition. From my understanding the only other USA 1777 button's found were near or at Valley Forge. I've attached a picture of the button taken by Don Troiani who wrote the "Militay Buttons of the American Revolution." Here is an article I found on the internet from The Treasure Depot and Ernest Richard Bower regarding the button:
"The large size USA button is also fairly scarce in good condition. The most commonly seen size is 19mm and probably accounts for 80% of the known examples. Among numerous variations of this buttons type are some which are very rare and valuable. In addition to the letters USA , these variants bear additional markings on the face such as "1777", "NY" ( New York ) or "NC" ( North Carolina ). By 1779 the USA button became the official button of the Continental Army and its use was widespread. Examples of these buttons have been found on many American military sites used from 1777 to 1783."
(Note: buttons bearing only the letters " US " are post Revolutionary War.)
Thank you for making a great detector! KT- CT

Ant and Dec leave BBC
Television duo Ant and Dec are to quit the BBC after talks over a new series of their show Friends Like These broke down.
The corporation said on Tuesday that it would be making a new series of the Saturday night show, but it would be looking for new presenters.
Anthony McPartlin, 24, and Declan Donnelly, 25, already host ITV's hugely successful SM:TV Live Saturday morning series - which has more than double the audience of the BBC's Live & Kicking.
A BBC spokesman said: "It is a shame that negotiations with Ant and Dec for another series of Friends Like These next year have broken down.
"However, we think they are fantastic and the door is always open for them to come back to the BBC."
The duo first appeared on screen in the early 1990s as playing cheeky duo PJ and Duncan in BBC children's drama Byker Grove.
They left in 1994 to start a musical career, and shortly after they presented their first entertainment show, Ant and Dec Unzipped, for Channel 4.
SM:TV Live's success, which has overhauled the BBC's traditional dominance of Saturday children's TV, has boosted Ant and Dec's popularity with viewers and TV executives.
The pair recently signed up to host the 2001 Brit Awards for ITV.

The Palazzo dei Diavoli
Monday, January 16, 2012
If you're planning a holiday at one of the many lovely villas in Tuscany, then it's worth visiting the Palazzo dei Diavoli. "Palazzo dei Diavoli" or "The Devils' Palace" owes its name to the mysteries that revolve around the building. The palace is located near Porta Camollia in Siena. It sits on one of the most beautiful and famous hills in the town, and if you're staying at any of the villas in Tuscany, it shouldn't be too far from your base.
The palace originally belonged to the Turchi, a Sienese family, as indicated by the inscription "Palatium Turcarum" at the top of main door. The plaque still remains there for its beauty and originality. The palace, which was built by several architects in different eras, is distinguished by its cylindrical tower and fine clay coating.
There are many myths and legends surrounding the origin of the palace's bizarre name. Some argue that the word 'Devils' was a derogatory term to describe the Turchi as the people of unbelievers, an ironic take on the name of the land-owning family which means "Turks". Others believe the name is a result of acts of black magic, orgies and satanic rituals that took place at the palace. Surely this must mean that the Devil's presence has been felt here?
The last hypothesis, the most interesting, connects the building to the dramatic events that hit the city of Siena in 1526. Siena was an ally of Charles V and was involved in the war between the imperial forces and Pope Clement VII. The latter, allied with the Florentines, decided to launch a huge assault on the city of Siena. The Sienese who were in the minority, seemed doomed, but all was not lost. With incredible strength they were able to repel the attacks and defeat the enemy army.
The outcome of the battle was so extraordinary that many people thought that external interference, perhaps even the devil himself, must have played a role. Even Francesco Vettori, the ambassador of the Florentine Republic, wrote to Niccolo Machiavelli claiming supernatural intervention to justify the huge debacle. Had the Florentinian army seen the face of the Devil in their enemies' eyes?
Even today, some people say that they feel a malignant force at work in the buildings during recent times. Don't let this deter you from staying at nearby villas in Tuscany. Many inhabitants of the city say there is not much to worry about- at least in this case the devil seems to be rooting for Siena!

How do you keep your rounds dry?
I keep Remington subsonic .22lr rounds loaded in my mags & my mags stayed in my glove box but today after installing new sights few would fire & even fewer would fire with any real velocity. What should I do to preserve my ammo but also keep it readily available?
SilicaGelPackets.com releases Silica Gel products to help gun enthusiasts protect their guns and ammunition against moisture damage like corrosion, mold, and mildew.
Silica Gel works great, but if you are a tightwad like I am you can use kitty litter in perforated cans to perform the same task. I use a can with a screw-on lid (pvc cleaner cans actually) drill about half a million 1/16" holes in it, fill it full and let it do its thing. (ok maybe not quite half a million) If you feel like they are getting water logged, you can throw the thing in the oven for a couple of hours at 300 degrees F. and it is all reconstituted.
A glove box is a nasty place to store ammo. Rapid changes in temperature and humidity can spoil you ammo rapidly. If you keep it in a climate controlled room, it will just about last forever. It seems that .22 ammo is getting worse and worse for misfires and squibs anyway, but that is a different story.
I use old ammo cans. If you think the seal is shot, put a thin bead of silicon caulk around it. Toss in a hand warmer, they eat oxygen and close it.
Another poormans trick that works surprisingly well is pieces of corrugated cardboard. When I worked in constriction, we used to keep chunks of it in the screw containers to keep them from getting corroded.
Thanks for all the great responses. I'm gonna try silica first & see if that doesn't satisfy me.
While not in the correct forum I think it's still relevant- I also keep .357 mags in the glove box, are they prone to the same problem in his high Memphis humidity?
when I go camping I usually take my 22 (if I can) and I just keep the ammo in one of those plastic fresh seal coffee containers, or if I forget that I usually take a zip lock bag for socks so I just throw it in there with them. My brother in law got a water proof camera case that he keeps mags in for his 22 pistol when he's go fishing it seems to work pretty well.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2013/12/16 - New SIGMA NEXEON coatings provide superior fouling protection, contain no copper - SigmaCoatings.com / PPG.com. NYSE: PPG
PPG Industries' protective and marine coatings business is taking the lead in future-proof marine coatings with a range of copper-free antifoulings.
PPG is the first coatings manufacturer to successfully develop and market a range of copper-free antifoulings for commercial vessels to help customers stay ahead of future regulations. The unique SIGMA NEXEON coatings range was developed based on extensive research and testing at PPGs own facilities and third-party studies.
Sijmen Visser, PPG global marketing manager, marine, protective and marine coatings, said,At PPG, we are constantly looking for ways to anticipate and evaluate the impact of future trends and legislation. Regulations around the use of copper in antifoulings are the ones to watch, and as a result we have decided to offer now the option to our customers to prepare for this future scenario.
The SIGMA NEXEON range provides a complete copper-free antifouling solution. The SIGMA NEXEON 710 product is the antifouling solution for operational vessels and can be applied during construction and dry docking. For new-builds where outfitting takes longer than six months, SIGMA NEXEON 750 high-activity copper-free topcoat antifouling is specified.
Both products combine unique self-polishing zinc-acrylate binder technology with high performance to help protect ships during the new-building process and while in service.
A distinctive benefit of SIGMA NEXEON copper-free antifouling is its property of "smoothness from start." Because of the absence of copper, the leveling and smoothness right after application is significantly improved, delivering better fuel efficiency from the start. Third-party testing with leading universities and test institutes in Korea and Japan has confirmed the properties and performance of SIGMA NEXEON antifoulings. From these studies, PPG has classified SIGMA NEXEON products as "low friction antifouling."
Another benefit of SIGMA NEXEON copper-free antifouling (sigmacoatings.com) is the cosmetic appearance, with no so-called "whitening" effect because there is no copper in the coating. Visser said that for prolonged outfitting periods, common for new-building drill ships and offshore structures, and also for shorter outfitting periods of general commercial ships,"There is an increasing demand for vessels to look good at delivery both above and below the water line. SIGMA NEXEON 710 and 750 [antifoulings] are ideal as initial and finishing coats to keep vessel hulls clean under water whilst providing a brand-new cosmetic finish above the water line.
The SIGMA NEXEON antifouling range was recently applied to the underwater hulls of four new-build drill ships, NORBE VIII, NORBE IX, NORBE X and NORBE XI, in operation offshore Brazil for Odebrecht Oil & Gas Limited.
Odebrecht wanted to keep the hulls clean from fouling and free from discoloration while stationary in seawater to minimize cleaning costs before delivery to the field. Following successful completion of the project, OOG awarded PPG a certificate of appreciation for its commitment to safety, outstanding coating quality and excellent performance.
PPG Industries' vision is to continue to be the worlds leading coatings and specialty products company. Through leadership in innovation, sustainability and color, PPG helps customers in industrial, transportation, consumer products, and construction markets and aftermarkets to enhance more surfaces in more ways than does any other company. Founded in 1883, PPG (ppg.com) has global headquarters in Pittsburgh and operates in nearly 70 countries around the world. Sales in 2012 were $15.2 billion. PPG shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol: PPG).
