Marlow's Tavern will open at 1008 S. Orlando Avenue, just north of the intersection of S. Orlando Avenue (17-92) and N.

Hiring is now underway to secure 70 top talent and experienced professionals with personality. The temporary hiring center is now open close by to the new neighborhood tavern on 17-92 or applicants may apply online at www.MarlowsTavern.com.
The restaurant will serve lunch, happy hour, and dinner daily Sunday through Thursday 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 11:30 a.m. to midnight. Become an Insider for specials and the latest news at www.MarlowsTavern.com, on Facebook and on Twitter.
The restaurant features the "best of the best" in classic American tavern fare served in a modern atmosphere. Menus, created by Executive Chef and Co-founder John C. Metz, offer a diverse combination of classic dishes that are updated and elevated to a gourmet level.
The beverage menu includes a wide variety of wines from around the world - all available by the glass - and a hand-crafted cocktail program that combines fresh juices and specialty, small batch liquors in an innovative and approachable way. The beer list is unique and varied, featuring local favorites, craft and import offerings by the bottle and on draft.
Guests who visit Marlow's Tavern will be welcomed with exceptional, personalized service and immediately feel the sincere and genuine hospitality from the entire team.
Local restaurant industry veteran, Alan Palmieri, was searching for his next career opportunity when he discovered Marlow's Tavern. After retiring from Darden Restaurants, Inc., where he was executive vice president of operations in the Specialty Restaurant Group, Palmieri knew that Marlow's was what he had been looking for – the perfect neighborhood restaurant to serve his family, friends, and the Orlando community. As a longtime Orlando resident with 38 years of restaurant experience, Palmieri knows that Marlow's Tavern is a perfect fit for the community. Palmieri will be responsible for the day-to-day operations and future development of the Orlando market. Marlow's Tavern debuted in Florida with a location at Pointe Orlando in October 2012.
"The decision to partner with the Marlow's Tavern team was an easy one," says Palmieri. "After working in this industry for my entire career, I have not seen a concept with this much passion around its quality food, creative beverages and attention to developing relationships with the staff, guests and neighborhoods. It is a concept that will give those discerning guests the exceptional hospitality that they deserve and expect daily," adds Palmieri.
"We reinvent classic tavern fare for the 21st century for our guests by using seasonal, local and regional ingredients. The Winter Park neighborhood and surrounding communities will enjoy our relaxed professionalism mentality and fresh, ingredient-focused cuisine and cocktails," says Metz.
Marlow's Tavern was designed with guests' comfort in mind. The decor is timeless, with an innovative atmosphere and unique features, like contemporary lighting combined with Chicago brick and rich appointments. The restaurant is warm and inviting with exposed brick walls, dark wood accents, large leather booths and communal tables for a timeless look and feel.
"Each Orlando neighborhood is so unique," says Metz. "We're looking forward to another successful community opening with Alan and his local perceptive, authentic relationships, commitment to quality, and strong ties to the values we believe are important to operate a successful business."
Metz and Palmieri are excited to bring Marlow's Tavern to Winter Park with its rich heritage, strong sense of community, vast parks system, museums, historic sites, and the beautiful chain of lakes providing a high quality of life for residents.
"We are committed to be a valued partner in the Winter Park community with an authentic neighborhood tavern experience each and every day," says Palmieri.
Marlow's Tavern was established in November of 2004 with the opening of its first location in Alpharetta, Georgia. The neighborhood restaurant has soon to be two locations in Florida, the first on International Drive at Pointe Orlando and a new location to open in Winter Park on Orlando Avenue (17-92). Marlow's Tavern is open for lunch and dinner daily, offering guests classic American tavern fare with an upscale twist.
In every community Marlow's Tavern serves, it partners with local neighborhood associations and charities to support and give back to the people who have generously supported the local tavern and staff. Marlow's Tavern Winter Park evokes a sense of community through its continued partnership with non-profit organizations such as the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. Proceeds from the grand opening events benefit the Food Bank to begin the restaurant's year-round commitment as a community partner.

As we continue our "Paying It Forward!" Part 2: The 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 "Formula" – "Think Like a Fish!" emphasis, today's focus is on Acts 17:16-34. This is a longer passage than we typically use for One-to-One, but it makes the point of "thinking like a fish quite well. The Apostle Paul traveled to Athens, looked around and saw the opportunity to address to radically different groups of people: the Jews who lived there, and the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers who lived there as well. Let's read the passage and see how Paul thought, spoke and acted differently with the two different groups, and the results of his interaction with them:
Acts 17:16-34 (ESV) 16Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols. 17So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there. 18Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, "What does this babbler wish to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities"—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection. 19And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? 20For you bring some strange things to our ears. We wish to know therefore what these things mean." 21Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.
22So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: "Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. 23For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, 'To the unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, 25nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. 26And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, 27that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, 28for "'In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, "'For we are indeed his offspring.' 29Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. 30The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, 31because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead."
32Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, "We will hear you again about this." 33So Paul went out from their midst. 34But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them. Acts 17:16-34 (ESV) Notice that Paul "reasoned" with the Jews and with Greek philosphers. He would have reasoned from the Scriptures, what we call the Old Testament with the Jews, and as we read, he quoted from the experience and writings of the Greek philosophers. The result is some of the people thought he was a "babbler," others thought he was crazy and a handful believed! We aren't responsible for the results when we approach others with the Good News. We are responsible to approach them in a way they will understand and receive to their benefit and blessing.
For today's application project review Acts 17:16-34. Look closely at how Paul approached the situation. See how he addressed the philosophers. Consider someone you know who is not a Christian. What is their background? How could you approach him or her in a way that will make sense from his or her perspective? Remember, when it comes to paying it forward by thinking like a fish, we always consider the other person's perspective and then move from there to Jesus. Ask God to give you the opportunity to think like a fish in approaching the person, or someone else with the Good News today.
Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your faithfulness in our lives! Fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may live faithfully in sharing the Good News with others in Jesus' name! Amen.

Ford's commitment to cutting-edge technology inside its cars is evident in the 2009 Lincoln MKS.
Automobile sums up the impressive equipment list on the 2009 Lincoln MKS: "Every modern telematics feature is either standard or optional, including a state-of-the-art navigation system with traffic reports supplied by Sirius Satellite Radio."
They also note the "push-button-entry feature that debuted years ago on Lincolns? It returns here…heat-sensitive, backlit numerals integrated into the B-pillar, and they become visible only after you run your hand over them."
Also on the standard-feature list for the Lincoln MKS are HID headlamps, power-adjustable heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, and leather upholstery. Car and Driver observes that "this is the most advanced and easy-to-use information-technology package on the market, at least for now."
Automobile, however, accurately points out that "The optional, 600-watt, sixteen-speaker THX II 5.1 surround sound stereo is absolutely superb, and the interface for controlling it through the high-resolution navigation screen is top-notch. Ford's SYNC system, which allows you to control an iPod or any other MP3 music player and a Bluetooth cell phone through voice activation, is standard. The Sirius Travel Link system can also provide nearby gas-station prices, movie listings, sports scores, and other real-time information through the navigation screen, which is the virtual command center of the vehicle."
Motor Trend believes "the optional nav system may be the best on the market. It places an 8-inch, VGA quality, high res screen high on the center stack, where it is easily seen and accessed. It packs four times the res of current Ford nav screens."
According to Autoblog, even the windshield wipers are smart: "I set the intermittent wipers on their lowest setting to try out the Rain-Sense system. Sure enough, as the volume of rain picked up, so too did the interval shorten and they eventually went into normal continuous mode. As the rain stopped, so did the wipers. No more dry wipers dragging across the windshield."

NEW YORK (Dec. 20)
Twenty national Jewish youth groups agreed to join forces to aid Soviet Jewry, it was announced here today. Known as the American Jewish Youth Conference for Soviet Jewry, the body will coordinate inter-organizational activities. The nation-wide program is being undertaken as an adjunct to the American Jewish Conference for Soviet Jewry, an ad hoc body composed of 24 major national Jewish organizations seeking to secure equal cultural and religious rights for Jews in the Soviet Union.
Participating in the American Jewish Youth Conference for Soviet Jewry are B'nai B'rith Youth Organization, National Hillel Foundations, National Jewish Welfare Board, National Federation of Temple Youth, National Conference of Synagogue Youth, United Synagogue Youth, National Council of Young Israel, Yavne, Atid, Leaders Training Fellowship, the American Zionist Youth Council, Betar, B'nei Akiva, Dror Hechalutz Hatzair, Habcrim, Hashomer Hatzair, Junior Hadassah, Mizrachi Hatzair, Student Zionist Organization, Masada of ZOA and Young Judaea.
The American Jewish Youth Conference for Soviet Jewry maintains that the "Jews of the Soviet Union today are denied the exercise of their spiritual and cultural heritage although guaranteed this right by the Soviet constitution." Insisting that Soviet Jews are "singled out from all other groups for severe limitations beyond those imposed on other religious groups" the Conference addressed itself to youth throughout the world.

TEL AVIV (Apr. 5)
A 49-year-old woman was injured by flying glass when exploding bazooka shells shattered windows in the Upper Galilee village of Sasoufa early today. The victim was identified as Rebecca Bitoon. The shells were fired by Arab terrorists who infiltrated across the Lebanese border about four miles away. Security forces combed the area for the perpetrators. No other casualties were reported. King Hussein of Jordan vowed yesterday to restore order in his country after ten days of bloody clashes with Palestinian guerrillas. According to reports from Beirut, El Fatah leader Yassir Arafat has given orders for an all-out campaign to topple the Hussein regime and establish Jordan as the main base for guerrilla activities against Israel.
Arafat, who is reportedly in Syria, was said to have joined forces with Dr. George Habash, the Marxist leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The PFLP, one of the most extreme of the Arab terrorist groups, was responsible for a rash of aerial hijackings last September. Arafat was said to have linked up with Habash in order to suppress his rivals for power within El Fatah ranks. El Fatah was badly mauled in the Jordanian civil war last September and its ranks were decimated by mass desertions. The image of the Palestinian guerrilla movement has suffered and it no longer enjoys the popular support it once had in neighboring Arab countries. The Jerusalem Arabic daily Al Kuds reported today that the current fighting in Jordan has not produced the same anti-Hussein feelings that were prevalent among West Bank Arabs during the Jordanian civil war. The paper said an anti-Hussein campaign by former Mayor Hamdi Kanaan of Nablus was a complete failure.

There are some movies and shows that I just love to watch each year to get me in the Christmas mood. I know some of my choices may not be ones that everyone else loves and I've forgotten a few, so let me know your favorites!
10. Holiday Inn
This Irving Berlin great includes great music (including "White Christmas") and great dancing. With Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire, how could you go wrong? Each Christmas season, I long to be Marjorie Reynolds having those two fighting over me.
9. A Charlie Brown Christmas
I hope younger generations will love this show as much as my generation does. Sometimes the Peanuts shows seem a bit dated, but if you want a television show that talks about the true meaning of Christmas, this is the one.
8. Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer
When I was growing up, I so associated Burl Ives with this television show, I had no idea he had done anything else. I love the whole story about the misfit reindeer who hooks up with other misfits and they all discover it is okay to be different.
7. It's a Wonderful Life
This is one of those movies that I just assume that everyone in the world has seen. But, did you know that when it was initially released, it was not a box-office hit. It did however receive five Academy Award nominations. Some critics hate it for being sappy and sentimental, but no other movie makes me really stop and appreciate all I have each year.
6. Frosty the Snowman
I love this television classic, although I used to cry each year when Frosty melted!
5. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
"You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch / You're a nasty, wasty skunk" but we still let you in our household each year. And how perfect is it that horror great Boris Karloff is the voice of the Grinch?
4. Christmas Vacation
I know this one isn't that old (1989), but every since it came out on DVD, my family watches it at Thanksgiving to kinda kick off the Christmas season. I love how it shows that no matter how crazy your family drives you, you still love and appreciate them.
3. Elf
I didn't see this one until last Christmas season, but after the first viewing, I knew it would become one of my favorites. Will Ferrell is excellent as Buddy the Elf, looking for his real dad. The soundtrack is wonderful as well!
2. Miracle on 34th Street
This has been a family favorite of mine for years. Of course, I am speaking of the 1947 version with a young Natalie Wood as Susan Walker. Don't even bother watching any other versions.
1. A Christmas Carol
I am very particular about this one. It has to be the 1938 version. It can't be the more popular 1951 with Alastair Sim, no siree, to me, there is no Scrooge other than Reginald Owen. This version played every Christmas even on our local CBS station and I realize now, maybe they were too cheap to pay for the more popular version (or maybe they couldn't get it), but that's okay. This version is a little bit darker, but still my all time favorite Christmas show.

We've selected these apps based on their frequent updates, user reviews, and overall impact in helping people prioritize healthy living. If you'd like to suggest an app for this list, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com!
Living a healthy life isn't just about diet and exercise — it's about starting and maintaining good habits. These can and should involve learning how to manage sleep patterns, stress, and even how you interact with the people around you. Keeping track of all of these factors and staying motivated to make healthy choices is an effort in and of itself.
The best healthy lifestyle apps of 2016 are all about making you a healthier person incrementally, whether it's through tracking your foods, getting better sleep, or bringing all of these healthy lifestyle factors together.
Drugs.com Medication Guide
Drug interactions and accidental overdoses can be fatal. That's why it's important to make sure you're taking your medications safely and in a way most likely to benefit your health. The Drugs.com Medication Guide app will help you identify medications, learn about side effects and potential interactions, and track your dosage. Best of all, you can check for recalls and ask specific questions about the drugs you take.
First Aid by American Red Cross
Accidents happen, and when they do, the American Red Cross's First Aid app can be a lifesaver. Ideally, this app will help you prevent accidents too. You can walk through virtual first aid scenarios to test your preparedness, and watch videos that will teach you how to help you safeguard your home. You can even call 911 directly through the app, should you realize your situation needs more than your help alone.
Eating out frequently can put a serious dent in your weight loss and overall health goals. HealthyOut can help you minimize the damage. This app is great for people who want to remain health-conscious even when they're eating at their favorite restaurant. You can search by zip code or GPS, and then narrow your options by your dietary restrictions or cuisine preferences. Best of all, the entries feature complete dietary information on the restaurant menu items.
HealthTap can be extremely useful as a health database when you're in need of a two-way conversation. The health information database features a substantial library covering numerous topics, but you can also send in your own questions and receive personalized answers from real doctors. If you're still not satisfied, the app features the ability to video chat or text with a doctor to receive direct advice and guidance.
iTriage was created by two emergency room doctors to give consumers access to a massive health and medical database. Search for symptoms, conditions, medications, and more. You can use the app to help decide if your condition warrants a doctor's appointment or even a trip to the hospital. We like the ability to store your medical records and even set appointments.
When your child is sick, do you tuck them into bed and hope for the best, or call the doctor immediately? Too proactive, and you could waste money and time in the doctor's office. Too lackadaisical, and your little one's condition could worsen. KidsDoc is a useful tool for parents, with a symptom guide and decision chart to help you decide what to do next. You'll also get useful medication guides and first aid topics.
The Lumosity app is a free download, but with your monthly subscription, you get access to numerous features. Like its namesake website, the app was designed to help people improve their memory, attention, and cognitive skills. There are games and daily brain workouts to challenge and improve cognitive abilities. You'll earn points and can compare those scores over time to track your progress.
Your activity level can impact your physical and mental health, and Moves is designed to help monitor just how active you are being. You can carry your phone in your pocket or purse, and the app will track your steps and mileage based on movement, tagging your locations and even displaying what your mode of transport is. At the end of the day, see how much you've walked, run, or cycled in the last 24 hours. After you've been using the app for a while, you can work on improving your pace and activity level.
MyFitnessPal's Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker
Tracking your daily calorie count and seeing how close you are to achieving your nutrition goals is made easy with this wildly popular health app. MyFitnessPal features a database of over 5 million foods, each with detailed nutritional information. Input your meals and see how your daily intake measures up. You can also use the app to track your exercise, and learn how your daily fitness efforts affect your caloric intake.
My Diet Coach
Everyone knows that dieting is hard work, but with My Diet Coach you'll get access to a variety of tools that can help increase your chances of success. The most unique feature is a visual weight tracker, where you'll find an animated version of yourself and watch its appearance change as you update your measurements and weight. You can also use the app to track your exercise and diet, and find tips, reminders, and motivational quotes.
Saying no to dessert is tough, but what if you lost money every time you gave into temptation? Pact has users put their money where their mouths are, and brings a financial incentive to healthy habits. You tell the app how much you're willing to put on the line and it directs you to make healthy lifestyle changes. Earn money when you work out, and lose money when you choose not to reach your health goals. You can also sync the app with other popular health trackers to track your foods.
Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock
Getting a good night's sleep can mean the difference between a good and bad day. Over time, poor sleeping habits can affect your mood and your health. The Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock analyzes your sleeping patterns to ensure you're waking during the optimal time. You set your alarm for the time you'd need to get out of bed, and the app will wake you within 30 minutes before that time, choosing the best time given the phase of sleep you're in.
Sleep Talk Recorder
We aren't sure if this app falls under sleep quality or humor, but both are important to living a healthy life. The Sleep Talk Recorder records audio while you're sleeping. If you're a conversationalist in the dead of night, the results could be quite entertaining, and could also explain why you often wake up not feeling fully rested. We like that the app only records when triggered, so it's not running through the night and killing your battery.
Whether you struggle with chronic disease or are monitoring a virus you've just come down with, Symple is a great way to track your symptoms and identify problems early on. The app allows you to track 10 symptoms at a time, record the medications you take, and log your exercise. You can take and store photos, which can be super useful when your condition is dermatologic, or when you don't want to have to write down typically long medication names.
Whole Foods Market App
If you've ever eaten in the Whole Foods Market cafés, you know they have some amazing flavors to choose from. With this app, you can recreate many of those recipes in your own kitchen. You can browse the recipes, search for specific ingredients, and mark your favorite healthy dishes to come back to later. The app also gives you access to local store events and specials, so you can time your visit to the market to get the best deals.
Eating healthfully can be a challenge, and doing it consistently is even harder. The Zipongo app will help you find great recipes — which you can tailor to your allergies or food restrictions — and meal ideas that align with your health goals. You can use the app to create grocery lists and store your favorite recipes all in one place, and get deals and discounts from grocery stores around you.

My story is pretty typical of others I have seen on this site - I have never really liked my nose, I think it is too big for my face. It is also crooked, which I think may be a result of a past injury, and the crookedness is really noticeable in photos as it casts odd shadows across my face. So after wanting to change it for many years I am finally going for it.
I also decided that since I am taking time off for recovery anyway I might as well do the other thing I've always wanted - which is to (hopefully) turn an apple into an hourglass :-) Hence my title. The lipo is happening before the rhino (to avoid hurting the new nose) and I will write a separate review about that.
I decided to write a review particularly because I have had such a tough time researching surgeons here in South Africa. There is just not much info online, you have to ask people for word of mouth recommendations (which I really hated doing). So after a fairly long searching process I decided on the Nose Clinic in Pretoria. The surgeon is an ENT who superspecialised in aesthetic nasal surgery. He only does noses, every day. He is registered with the relevant SA boards and also a member of the American AFPRS.
When I went for the consult I found him to be very kind and friendly. He did an examination and took pictures for morphing. He is also going to fix my deviated septum (so this is a septorhinoplasty really). I also discovered that he only does 1 case per day - which I think is good as it means things won't be rushed in order to get the next person done. All in all I am pretty happy with my choice. He was definitely not the cheapest surgeon I looked at but I think a good first result is well worth it, and much cheaper than needing a revision later!
Right now it is a bit more than a week to go and I am getting pretty scared. I am also a bit undecided as to what looks best. In addition to fixing the crookedness I wanted my nose deprojected and a little upturned. He didn't want to take it back too much as he says I have a strong chin and it will look odd if the nose is too small. Initially I agreed but now I am worried that the change will be too subtle and I will still feel like my nose dominates my face. I have put up the pics of the morph. The middle one is his suggestion and the right hand one is my changes (using photoshop so not a proper morph - but I am talking about the aesthetics of the nose here and not the practicalities of what can be done with my anatomy.) Basically I'm trying to decide if I should ask him to be more aggressive than we originally agreed or not. What do you think?
I am also really worried about recovery. I have not told people that I am doing this. Only my boyfriend and 1 close friend know. My surgery is on a Weds and I am off work until the Mon the week after (12 days) I am really hoping that will be enough as I haven't told anyone at work. Mostly I'm hoping that the bruising will be light enough that I can cover it with makeup. Unfortunately I am very fair skinned so bruising is usually very obvious on me. I considered getting some of that post op cover up makeup but I don't think it comes in a light enough shade, and going with an orange face might look even more weird.
A note on pricing: I was quoted ZAR 49500. I have put it in US dollars at today's exchange rate of $1=ZAR8.40.
Extreme Makeover Part 2 - Pretoria, South Africa
My story is pretty typical of others I have seen...
My story is pretty typical of others I have seen on this site - I have never really liked my nose, I think it is too big for my face. It is also crooked, which I think may be a result of a past injury, and the crookedness is really noticeable in photos as it casts odd shadows across my face. So after wanting to change it for many years I am finally going for it.
Just a few more days to go until the Big Day and I...
I must say this site has been really helpful with advice and recommendations. I am all stocked up on pain meds, and arnica for after. I also got some bendy straws and loads of soft foods, and I bought once of those U shaped travel pillows cos I think it might make it easier to sleep propped up at an angle. I usually sleep on my belly so I think I am going to struggle with sleeping post op. I haven't been able to find swiss therapy masks locally, which is a pity cos it seems like they really help. I did get some little gel cooling pads though - I think they will work for icing around the eye area. I also haven't been able to find Bromelain anywhere.
Anyway mostly I am swinging between excitement and fear. I really hope it all goes well and I end up with a result that I love.
Well I had the lipo done yesterday and I'm not...
I have waited a few days to update this review...
I did not have the rhinoplasty as planned as the surgeon cancelled on the day.
He did not cancel for medical or practical reasons, but rather because he changed his mind about doing the procedure. I find the whole thing to be completely bizarre and I have never heard of a surgeon behaving in this way before. His manner on the day was completely different to when we first met, I felt he was rude and dismissive. He said some very insulting things to me that I think were completely unprofessional.
In retrospect when I first searched for information about him the only negative I found online was a previous patient who said he was very arrogant. At the time I thought that might be an exaggeration, now I think it was an understatement.
As much as this has inconvenienced me I am glad I saw this side BEFORE having surgery. I can only imagine how much more unpleasant it would be to discover this after surgery, especially if I had been unhappy with the result.
At least the clinic refunded me in full.
To sum up, I would not recommend this surgeon to anyone. I have had a very negative experience with him, and in my opinion he is both unpredictable and unreliable.

OAKLAND -- Not even a delay caused by a bank of left-field lights going dark Saturday night at O.co Coliseum could derail Scott Kazmir.
The A's handed the left-hander a two-year, $22 million contract after he revived his career last season with Cleveland, and Kazmir has done nothing to taint the deal.
He allowed one unearned run and three hits in six innings Saturday as the A's defeated the New York Yankees 5-1 before a sellout crowd of 36,067.
"He's been consistent all year for us," manager Bob Melvin said before the game. "You've got a couple of games where he gave up some runs and took a couple of losses. But I think he's been as consistent as you can be to this point. We always have a good feeling when he takes the mound."
Nobody took the mound for 38 minutes in the middle of the fourth inning because of the lights failure that started at 8:19 p.m.
The A's led 2-1 at the time. The lights went back on at 8:51 p.m., and play resumed six minutes later.
The A's said a circuit breaker turned off and had to be manually reset.
Kazmir, who warmed up during the delay, allowed a double to lead off the fifth but got out of the inning with the lead in place.
"I had to go up there to the clubhouse to stay warm," Kazmir said. "Once it hit the 30-minute mark, I ended up throwing a simulated inning in the bullpen. That helped me out a lot. As soon as I was done with the last pitches in that simulated bullpen, the lights came on. It worked out perfect."
Melvin said he was concerned about how the delay would affect his pitcher.
"Mentally, you've got to stay with it," the manager said. "It's tough when you're sitting around that long, and it's cold. You go back out there and have to find that adrenaline again. It was very impressive."
Kazmir (8-2) entered the game ranked among the American League leaders in ERA, opponents' batting average and opponents' on-base percentage. In his past 32 starts, he has allowed no more than one run in 16 of them.
"Just looking at some of the numbers the last couple of years, the consistency has been incredible," Melvin said. "He's been one of the better pitchers in the American League and has really done it almost every time out.
"That's probably the biggest surprise for me is how consistent he's been. For me, the fact that he is truly a four-pitch pitcher now from a guy that has really tweaked the way he was earlier in his career, when he was strictly a power pitcher."
Kazmir got all the runs he needed from second baseman Eric Sogard, who returned to the lineup after missing Friday's game because of a tweaked ankle he suffered fouling a ball off his foot earlier in the week.
Sogard, who entered the game hitting .197, gave the A's a 2-0 lead in the second inning with a two-out, bases-loaded single to center that drove in two.
Three innings later, he fielded Derek Jeter's grounder and threw out Kelly Johnson at the plate to keep the A's in front 2-1.
Sogard led off the bottom of the fifth with a walk and then scored on John Jaso's groundout to first, stretching Oakland's lead to 3-1.
"When you have a few guys that aren't swinging the bat well in the middle of the order, some of the other guys have to take over," Melvin said. "Today it was the bottom of the lineup."
Josh Donaldson continued to slump, going 0 for 4 to run his hitless streak to 0 for 31.
After the seventh inning, he was ejected by home plate umpire Hal Gibson.
"I just asked the guy a question," Donaldson said. "That's it. I'm not gonna talk about it, man. I just went up and asked him a question. I didn't think I deserved to be thrown out. That's all I got."
Taylor, 28, played in only 26 games for Oakland and was currently with Triple-A Sacramento, where the outfielder was the River Cats' franchise leader in games (511), at-bats (1,900), hits (521), and RBIs (325).
Sanchez, 24, made nine starts and 15 appearances for Class A Kannapolis, going 5-4 with a 2.80 ERA and three saves.
The trade could help Taylor, Melvin said, noting that "sometimes a change of scenery invigorates a guy. You feel like you have a new life, to an extent. We wish him the best."
But the right fielder, who is eligible to return from the disabled list Monday, might go through a minor league rehab assignment before rejoining the team.
Reddick was injured in a collision with the right-field wall at the Coliseum on May 31.

Our view: North County must resist concrete solutions for its eroding shoreline.
We like sand. We'll take rocks, even. But we don't want any more concrete on North County's beaches.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' grand plan to save the beaches and blufftop homes in Solana Beach and Encinitas would, in essence, take some of the public's beach and give it to the rich folks living atop the bluffs.
On one hand, the plan sensibly calls for almost 1.3 million cubic yards of sand to be dumped on beaches that are vanishing. But the Army Corps also wants to install concrete plugs to fill the caves undercutting the base of some sandstone cliffs. This would actually take away some public beach.
Disappearing beaches in Encinitas and Solana Beach could use some help. The sand that once replenished them is trapped by concrete —— behind dams or beneath the roads, sidewalks and inland communities we live in. Some is stuck behind jetties that keep Oceanside Harbor open to boat traffic.
Particularly onerous are the ugly, concrete sea walls that line many of our bluffs.
Luck, time and the tide have turned on those who have enjoyed the sunset-stained Pacific horizon from their living rooms. Their land is slipping from beneath their foundations —— an eventuality everyone could see coming, including the blufftop homeowners and their builders. The rate of erosion may have sped up in recent decades, but the dynamic is unchanged over eons: The waves crash into the base of the bluffs, the bluffs collapse, and the resulting sand provides a brief buffer until the waves attack again.
Unwilling to give up their homes without a fight, a wealthy few have armored the cliffs with an assortment of ugly concrete structures, some camouflaged to mimic the sandstone. The latest models are so-called erodible concrete plugs to fill sea caves undercutting the bluffs above.
Each successive concrete solution has the same effect. Try to walk these cities' western edges at high tide and you had better bring your bathing suit.
Homes temporarily may be spared, but the beach below is lost to the rest of North County and its visitors.
Blufftop homeowners have been aided in this gradual transfer of public land by a California Coastal Act in conflict with itself. The state's pioneering shoreline protection laws require the Coastal Commission to both maximize public access and protect property rights.
But with each sea wall that is approved, erosion is made worse on the unprotected bluffs at both sides. This vicious cycle all but forces neighbors to use concrete for protection, sacrificing yet more future beach.
For vital areas that must be protected, we prefer piles of rocks to the sheer sea walls; at least rocks look natural.
With the Coastal Commission's backing, Encinitas and Solana Beach must start condemning untenable homes perched on eroding cliffs, just as they would any other dangerous home in their jurisdictions. Of course, the cities also must work to keep people from laying their towels below the doomed homes, just as they warn people to stay away from the bluffs themselves. Unstable cliffs are unsafe by their nature, as is the sea itself.
Still, we can't let our beaches be lost to fears for public safety, a high moral ground bluff-top homeowners and their backers like to claim.
Eventually, as the ocean is allowed to seize the bluffs and the homes above it, the Coast Highway will be exposed, as is already the case along Cardiff's Restaurant Row. In any discussion of coastal retreat, that vital artery is the state's fallback position. Though it may seem unimaginable now, local and state planners would be wise to start planning to move Highway 101 farther inland.
We can't hold back the Pacific's approach without sacrificing the beaches that many of us consider vital to North County's appeal. We can either allow the ocean to claim a few rich folks' homes or we can get used to wading in front of their towering concrete castle walls.

Phone hacking divisions laid bare as party lines followed by MPs
The Commons report into the phone hacking scandal led to a split in the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, with Conservative members refusing to back all of its findings.
Tory MPs said they would not support an amendment claiming that Rupert Murdoch was not 'fit and proper' to run a company.
The statement was tabled by a long-term Murdoch foe, Labour MP Tom Watson, and pushed through by Labour and Liberal Democrat members by a vote of six to four.
The Tories claimed that, legally, the regulator Ofcom should be the one to decide who can or cannot run a media company and to say otherwise was 'completely ludicrous'.
Philip Davies MP added: 'Many people may conclude that some conclusions were written before any of the evidence was ever heard and I think that is very sad.'
Tory MP Louise Mensch also said that putting through an amendment 'wildly outside the scope' of the inquiry undermined its credibility.
But Mr Watson hit back at the MPs who 'did not feel sufficiently convinced or confident to hold the most powerful to account'.
His Labour colleague Jim Sheridan said it was 'incredible' that large amounts of money had been consistently paid out without senior executives knowing about it.
He added: 'Rupert Murdoch was top of the tree and I believe he should carry the can.'

My name is Kiah Strus. I am a seventh-grade girl at Rogers Middle School. I love going to the skate park with my bike but I think there should be a bigger skate park at the Otsego City Hall.
Many people go to the skate park and would like to have fun. Like during the summer when kids have no school. I am one of those people who would like to use the skate park over the summer. I have seen up to 30 people just at the skate park.
People should be able to go on the ramps without needing to wait for others to be finished. I had to wait to go on one of the ramps before because there are not enough ramps for everybody to use all at once yet alone any room for people to ride on the ramps. If little kids go there they would not have anywhere to practice or learn and there aren't any small ramps for them to use. The little kids might be just learning how to use the ramps and they have to learn on bigger ramps that they can't even get up because they are like 4 or 5 maybe. So I think there should be smaller ramps in the bigger skate park.
There are only seven ramps at the skate park and that isn't enough room for people to ride their bikes or whatever they are on freely and do cool tricks, especially when there are 30 people there. Nobody wants to wait to go on a skate ramp.
That is why I think the Otsego City Hall skate park should be bigger. People should realize that there is enough open space for there to be a bigger and better skate park. I think it would be beneficial for everybody because they would have a better time and they can learn more tricks and the little kids could have a place to skateboard or ride their bikes on ramps. — Kiah Strus, Otsego

Heat sensitive and embodied with a remarkable ability to conform to the pressure points of the body, a memory foam mattress / memory mattress can help to promote a change in irregular sleeping patterns allowing your body to rest the entire night, helping to reduce stress and giving you a more restful nights sleep. What is coolmax? A CoolMax Mattress solves the problem of heat build-up, which is the most common complaint with memory foam mattresses. CoolMax fabric whisks away moisture as well as or better than any other natural fibre. This allows your body to regulate its core tempurature without expending a lot of extra energy. The result, a better more restful sleep. CoolMax is highly permeable by air and has a high heat-regulating capacity, making it an ideal mattress fabric. It is a fiber with unique, fast-drying properties that has earned a proven advantage in professional sportswear. An adult loses on average approximately 8 ozs. of body moisture every night. This loss of moisture causes a clammy sensation and stimulates the production of perspiration, which disrupts deep and comfortable sleep. With CoolMax fabric, we have developed a mattress which aids in controlling this moisture discomfort. Moisture quickly evaporates, perspiration is reduced, and the body remains pleasantly cool. Moisture-control tests have shown that CoolMax dries considerably faster than, or as fast as, any other more absorbent fabrics. CoolMax: a mattress cover for a dry, cool and comfortable sleep. Night after night ... A CoolMax Mattress offers a cleaner, healthier sleep environment thanks to its hypo-allergenic and anti-microbial properties. Our CoolMax cover is easy to remove and can be machine-washed. If your comfort needs ever change, upgrades can be made easily and affordably by replacing the cover only. If you have any concerns about getting too hot or perspiring at night, our CoolMax memory foam mattresses are the sound choice for you.

I met a guy about a year ago and a half ago and we hit it off from the get go. We became really good friends. We were both married. My marriage was horrible, married to a man who verbally and emotionally abused me and was a control freak. My friend and I could tell there was a mutual attraction and we talked about it and that we should be careful about how much time we spent together and what we talked about. We ended up kissing and we decided that we should back away from each other, which we did. What he didn't know was that I had fallen in love with him, but I never had any intention of telling him because what would be the point? We were both married. I ended up filing for divorce, not because of him, but because my marriage was so horrible and I moved out of my house. I still had no intention of telling my friend I was in love with him and we kept our distance, but two months after I moved out, I got a text message from him at 4:30 in the morning telling me that he couldn't stop thinking about me and that he was in love with me. Three days later we ended up making love. Before we did I told him that he needed to be careful with me and not to make love to me unless he really loved me because my heart was very fragile. He assured me that he loved me, but had no intention of leaving his wife and I was fine with that. Afterward, we both felt really guilty about sleeping together. Three days later I asked him if he loved me and he said yes. I asked him if he was in love with me and he said, no...he was in love with his wife. We decided to just be friends. We still hung out together after that, but didn't become physically involved again. But he would look into my eyes sometimes like he was lost in them. He took me to one of his favorite places and also showed me around his home town. Before I left to go home one day, he hugged me so tight and so long. That was the last time I saw him. His wife found out we were hanging out together and she was understandably angry. She does not know we made love. We decided to end out friendship because he didn't want his marriage to end and his wife actually threatened him with physical violence. When we last spoke I asked him if he loved me and he said "I like you, but I love my wife." We agreed to not speak to each other anymore for the sake of his marriage. We ended our conversation amicably and talked about other things and it was easy, just the way things always were between us...easy and comfortable. Then I had a little trauma during my divorce and needed him and I sent him an instant message on Facebook. He immediately blocked me from Facebook. It felt like I'd been stabbed through the heart. I am so confused and hurt because he told me he loved me and then said he didn't but went out of his way to take me to his favorite place and hug me so tight and long when we said goodbye. Do you think he really does love me but knows it's futile so he has to cut all ties with me? Was I a game of did he love me?
Did he really love me?

Men get into affairs for all kinds of reasons - most of them very self centered ones. They may be feelin a little unloved at home or insecure, they may be craving their youth, or playing games with thier wife/partner. And sometimes they allow a fantasy or flirtation to go too far.
Whatever the reason, when this man chose to sleep with you he made it very clear from the start that you weren't worth breaking up his marriage for. That's not love. He may have desired you, may have shown interst in you ,even compassion for your situation but he didn't love you - otherwise he would have left his wife and started a life with you.
perhaps this man is not a perpetual adulterer -maybe he felt guilty for the way he behaved to both you and his wife. Perhaps that explains how he tried to "let you down gently" by being kind to you. But ultimately this man treated you no differently than your ex husband did. He used you for his own ends.
I know that all of the above seems brutal maybe even unkind. I am sure you would rather think of your "friend" as misunderstood or torn by circumstances. But the truth is he was a married man who committed adultary with you KNOWING he was never going to leave his wife. He knew how vulnerable you were at that time and used it to his own advantage and now he doesn't want the consequences of his actions to leak into his home life so he has cut the cord.
It sounds as though life has been pretty tough already but I would put this man in the same emotional place as your marriage and move on. Just like your abusive husband this guy can bring no joy or fulfillment to your life and more likely a whole heap more pain.
Allow yourself to be angry ,even hurt if you must then decide not to waste any more energy on him - he really isn't worth it.
Be gentle to yourself and hopefully your next relationship will be an equal partnership where your guy loves and respects you as you deserve.
Thank you, Caili for responding. What you said makes a lot of sense. It really does hurt to think that he never really loved me, but seeing it from that perspective will make it a whole lot easier to get over him. I feel kind of stupid for believing him, but I guess it's just experience gained. Thanks again for your comment. Shannyn

High winds, heavy snow and slushy roads are blamed for multiple accidents Tuesday afternoon on I-80 east of Brady.
The wrecks involved semi-trucks as well as a snowplow and car. About 300 gallons of diesel fuel was reportedly spilled from one of the trucks.
The wrecks occurred in the eastbound lane between 1:15 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Poor visibility on the slushy highway apparently caused the drivers to lose control, according to a statement from the department of roads.
There were no reports of injuries in the initial information.
Eastbound traffic was diverted to U.S. Highway 30 from Brady to Gothenburg. One eastbound lane re-opened around 3:15 and both were clear at 3:46 p.m.
I-80 was close in both directions at Cozad at 1:41 p.m. due to slush and in slated to reopen around 4:45 p.m., the department of roads said.
North and south too
Also, Nebraska Highway 92 was closed at 3:16 p.m. Tuesday afternoon from south of Stapleton to Merna -- a 40 mile stretch -- due to blowing snow, drifting and vehicles blocking the road.
On Nebraska Highway 47 near the Dawson-Custer county line, an accident was reported at 2:23 p.m. NDOR said. The road remained open.
And, Nebraska Highway 23 was closed at 2:43 p.m. in both directions at Curtis due to severe driving conditions.

but hasn't that struggle been portrayed enough in his films whether it be prejudice, disintegration of the family unit, and violence?

No More Heroes
Review by Trusk
"Great, bloody, humorous, but short"
No More Heroes (NMH) is perhaps the most violent game on the Wii out there. Violent decapitations, gratuitous swearing, (they drop the F bomb among other swears A LOT and all uncensored) and yet the humor this game displays is just too much for words, but I'll try.
First things first: You are an assassin with a beam katana that you won off an internet auction who must kill other assassins to become the first ranked assassin in the world. Along the way you will meet humorous characters, take on comical side missions, and save your game by sitting on the toilet.
The main focus of the humor is satire. It's a take of all of the other punk style action games with the huge amounts of blood that spills out of your enemies being an exaggeration of what you see in other games of it's kind. The game does not take itself seriously at all.
That's pretty much the short of it, theres more along the way but you'll have to play that to find out.
As for the graphics, it's nothing really astonishing, they aren't horrible but the Gamecube could probably pull it off. It's a cel shaded style that really works well in the game. Any other graphic style would ruin the satiric humor the game takes on. While they aren't mind blowing, there's nothing bad to say about them either.
The sound makes the game even funnier. The death quotes of some of the enemies for example, make it funny to hear them over and over. Sadly, on each level theres only 1 type of enemy and they all say the same 2 things throughout the level, so at times it can be a bit repetitive but this is a nitpick. The only thing that bugs me is the death scream when you defeat multiple enemies in a row. If you kill 1 it's fine, but 2 or more and it gets pretty loud and crackly at times. But this is another nitpick and can be overlooked.
The music is hard to rate as there hardly is any in the game. You only hear music in the hub world if you're on your bike, and the stage music is the same core progression for every level. In my opinion it's an awesome song so it's a love it or hate it kind of deal.
The story is... well it's hit or miss on this one. If you're playing a game with an indepth story this isn't it. There is story to be had but it's mostly vague and in most cases, the main story stays intact for the whole game while side stories tend to last for the level and then not touched upon until either the end or not at all. Plot twists end as quickly as they start and confusing at times. Most of the story is back story found in the instruction manual that really has no impact on the main story at all. Make what you can of it, the game wasn't really intended for a deep story so once again, I won't knock this too hard.
The gameplay is where this game excels. Unlike most games for the Wii, you don't swing the wiimote to attack, instead you hit A to attack but then finishing moves are executed by swinging the wiimote in a designated direction. Throws can be performed too with a combination of moving the wiimote and nunchuck in a designated direction too, so wiimote movement use is not limited. The only problem I've had is that sometimes, no matter how hard I try, at times it's impossible to do a finishing move or throw. I don't know if it's me or what but the movement doesn't register for whatever reason. This doesn't occur enough for it to be annoying but it's something I wish didn't happen.
The worst thing about the gameplay is the hub world. Even with the motorcycle to help you get around, most places are so far apart it's a pain to get to them. Most places are near your aparment building, making them accessible but whats really annoying is where you have to go for side missions. At times you'll want to (or have to for money) complete the same side mission again, but to do that you'll have to go to where the job is at, get it, go to the location of the job, complete the task, then go back to the job building again and the process repeats itself. Some places where you need to go are closer than others, but some take so long to get to you may only want to do it once after deciding to do it three times.
The motorcycle is pretty bad too. It helps you get around but a pain to control. You can do quick turns on it by tilting the wiimote either left or right and hitting B when going fast enough, which you'll want to do to avoid crashing it. While you can do this, it's still possible to lose control at times depending on where you turn and crash. Crashing doesn't have a penalty, but it takes about 10 seconds for the animation of you falling off, getting up and then having to flip the bike back upright to complete, and it can get really annoying if you do it constantly, which at times seems to happen more than you'd want.
You can also do a wheelie with it, which serves no purpose on the hub world as it just makes you crash even more as you'll most likely hit something and have to go through the crash sequence. Also it seems random whether you'll crash or not. At times I've gone full speed into walls and nothing will happen, and other times I'll go just fast enough into one and it will crash me. Sometimes cars crash me while other times it won't.
The best part about the motorbike is that you can drive it off of cliffs into lakes which has no penalty at all other than sends you back to your apartment building, which at times you can abuse to get back there faster. As mentioned before there is no penalty to it, not even health loss, which is odd since the refrigerator in your apartment is supposed to refill your health, but in the hub world there's not way to lose it.
The difficulty of the game is pretty easy. The strategy for killing most bosses is pretty much the same, so once you master the boss killing technique you can pretty much win for the most part. Some are on the hard side but for the most part they are more or less the same.
The levels disappoint me though. The first few have good length, and take some time to complete, but near the end of the game the levels don't take more than 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Before I got to this point I found the game to be quite short, and this made it even worse for me. I managed to get about about 12 hours in before I beat the game, and that's with messing around with side missions.
However, that's just a single playthrough. Everything you have carries over after you beat the game when you go to your second playthrough, giving some incentive to play the game over and over again. If you liked the game as much as I did you'll want to do this several times before putting it down and picking it back up again.
So all in all, it's a good game, fans of crude humor, blood baths, and action will enjoy it and worth at least a rent. In my honest opinion, unless you really want to play this now wait for a price drop. I say it's worth at least $30, I felt a tad ripped off with a hefty $50 price tag but not enough to make me regret my purchase.

|Pyotr Kuznetsov was held for psychiatric evaluation.
MOSCOW - Doctors and rescuers are trying to coax more than two dozen doomsday cult members into leaving their forest hide-out near the Volga River, where they were awaiting the end of the world with the coming of spring.
The cult members have threatened to blow themselves up with about 100 gallons of stockpiled gasoline if authorities forced them out of what officials described as a cave or bunker near the village of Nikolskoye, about 400 miles southeast of Moscow, said regional spokesman Yevgeny Guseynov.
"Any forceful action is dangerous," Guseynov said Friday, but he added that doctors and rescuers were nearby and trying to persuade the cult members to leave.
Pyotr Kuznetsov, a self- declared prophet who established his True Russian Orthodox Church after he split with the official church, has not joined his followers. He was undergoing psychiatric evaluation Friday, a day after he was charged with setting up a religious organization associated with violence, Guseynov said.
Russian state television broadcast footage of Kuznetsov speaking at the clinic where he was being examined. He said that cult members initially aimed to dig small refuges where they could spend a day or two in prayer. But later, "we had the idea of making a big dugout for all of us to go to and stay there, just to avoid acts of hooliganism by the local population," Kuznetsov said.
The 29 people - including four children, one only 18 months old - had stocked the cave with food and other supplies.
Kuznetsov said in the footage on the Rossiya channel that he had not gone into the cave himself because "I had to meet others who were yet to arrive."
On Thursday, black-clad Russian Orthodox monks carefully descended into the snow-covered gully to try to make contact with the cult, but members refused to speak with clergy. They were exchanging letters with Kuznetsov, however, and were in contact with doctors and officials, who promised food or medical supplies if needed.
Kuznetsov blessed his followers before sending them into the cave earlier this month. Most of the adults were women, Russian newspaper Izvestia reported.
Kuznetsov, 43, a trained engineer from a religious family, declared himself a prophet several years ago, left his family, and settled in Nikolskoye. He began writing books, borrowing from a mix of beliefs, and visited monasteries in Russia and Belarus, recruiting followers, Guseynov said.
Alexander Dvorkin of the Moscow-based independent Center of Religious Studies said Kuznetsov's followers were in serious danger and "any wrong move" by authorities could cost lives.

Blistex Complete Moisture Reviews
Slides offThis one feels a little too wet and slippery for me, I find that it slides off my lips and disappears too quickly. Much prefer the regular Blistex stick, wears better. — 8 years, 6 months agomissmagpie | 15 reviews
Complete Moisture by BlistexMoisturizes and soothes with Dimethicone to protect along with SPF15 coverage---this is a GREAT lip balm to keep my lips moist without being sticky while I enjoy my outdoor activities as well as drier indoor air as the heating season starts. My boyfriend doesn't complain about a "perfumey" smell either. I apply in am, noon and before bed without any complaints of wearability. Cheap in...read morevestment of just over $2 for soft moist lips. Paper box h package is easy to find (maybe they could go greener on packaging). (Rated a 9 only for packaging.) Winner, winner--chicken dinner, this is a keeper! — 8 years, 12 months agoHDcowgirl | 12 reviews
Im addictedSince my lips were always exposed to the elements all year round, I've been a chapstick addict. When I tried complete moisture, I never looked back. It provides instant relief and moisture and has staying power. The spf 15 protects against the sun and for the cheap price, you can't go wrong. This is always in my purse and strategically placed around the house. Makes my lips soft and healthy. — 9 years agoCMart305 | 9 reviews
GoodI use a lot of lip balm, especially in the winter, because my lips are really dry and this product works well. It makes my lip feel smooth and hydrated and isn't messy like some lip balms can be. — 9 years agoMusicLuvr13 | 4 reviews
very moisturizingI HATE the tube. I have trouble getting the top off and when I do the product is too soft and doesn't apply evenly. I admit it works better than Chapstick but for me it's not worth the mess. — 9 years, 1 month agomink88 | 77 reviews
What a great ProductMy dad has been a blistex user my whole entire life, and I'm forty-four years old. He is never without it. I've always had trouble with my lips being dry and cracked and always just changed lipsticks to try to correct the problem. While riding in his truck the other day, I left my lipstick at home and my lips were dry so he gave me his blistex to try. I didn't even realize it till several hour...read mores later that I hadn't even thought about my lips or putting on lipstick. They stayed soft for hours. Now I'm addicted to this product and have several tubes stuck everywhere so I don't run out. I can't believe it took me this long to try it. — 9 years, 3 months agoDixiecup | 5 reviews
Very moistThis is a great little tube.. the quality is excellent, lives up to it's claims 100% but the length of wear was a little depressing, I get more wear and the same amount of moisture from Beauticontrol's Lip Balm. as far as teh value for the money & packaging it's reasonable. — 9 years, 3 months agoBamaGourmet | 14 reviews
Great ProductI love this lip balm. It is very smooth going on and feels like you are almost wearing nothing on your lips. Not caky or heavy at all. Great for use in extremely dry or arid conditions. — 9 years, 3 months agodbletl | 21 reviews
Addicted!This is the best lip balm by far. It has the best consistency and really moisturizes (and SPF!) I have these all over my house, in my purse, and in my car so I am never without one! — 9 years, 3 months agocl2323 | 5 reviews
Super MoistureIf you're allergic to regular, hard chapsticks, or are just looking for a different way to moisturize your lips, this is the product to use! It glides on easily, and doesn't leave you with a goopy mess on your lips. And, it's hard to find something that moisturizes better. — 9 years, 4 months agosykick | 10 reviews

As part of the NYC Community Learning Schools Initiative, OneSight is working with local health partners and The SUNY College of Optometry to open two school-based vision centers at PS 188 in Brooklyn and PS 18 in the Bronx this fall. The OneSight Vision Center at PS188 will be operated by Lutheran Family Health Centers with sponsorship and volunteer support from LensCrafters. The OneSight Vision Center at PS 18 will be operated by Montefiore Medical Center with sponsorship and volunteer support from Sunglass Hut. Each center will serve more than 5,000 students annually providing comprehensive eye exams, glasses, fittings, adjustments and medical eyecare with an onsite optometrist, ophthalmic technician and optician. "It's the greatest city in the world and everyone deserves a chance to see it," concludes the girl narrating the video.

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
Hi, We have the following DEC ALPHA machines setup and would like to know if these machines are compatible to migrate to the new OS that you are creating . Open VMS or True64 Unix or Linux. (They are currently running DIGITAL UNIX , kind of very old. Would like to upgrade them at the earliest.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Work Station Model : DEC 3000 SERIES, MODEL 300/300L AXP Server Model : DEC 2100 Server, MODEL 500MP - Alpha AXP family Uses DEC chip 21064, has singe processor at present RAM 128 MB Hard disktype: Up to 16,3.5 in high performance disk drives may be configured in BA740 pedestal enclosure . HD model RZ28 VA. Processor Speed 190 MHz -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please let me know at the earliest as to what options we have and the prices involved. I am looking at 100 user license. Thanks. Phani . Kappa Qwest.
The Answer is :
As of this writing (in June 2001), the current OpenVMS Alpha release is OpenVMS Alpha V7.3, and information on new work and new releases is available at the OpenVMS website -- look for the OpenVMS Roadmap, as referenced in the OpenVMS FAQ. For OpenVMS (as you have reached the OpenVMS Wizard), these systems are very old and very slow, but these systems are still supported by present OpenVMS releases. You will want to contact a Tru64 UNIX or a Linux Wizard for any Tru64 UNIX or Linux questions you might have. Given the great age and the relatively low performance of these two systems, you may well be served by acquiring a rather more recent new or used system -- the AlphaServer DS10 series performance will greatly exceed the aggregate performance of these two systems. For pricing and ordering and availability, please contact your Compaq reseller or your Compaq representative.
