I have never felt more like a refugee from nature as I did the other day when I walked into my kitchen to find a chipmunk standing in the middle of the room staring at me.
He and I both did a double-take–and he ran to the cabinets, and disappeared somehow into the bread drawer. (There are crevices and passageways that we homeowners have no idea about, I've realized.) I called a friend and said, "There's a chipmunk in my bread drawer." It seemed like something that another human being should know about.
She said, "We're not afraid of chipmunks. They're adorable."
I said, "They are surprisingly less adorable inside than outside."
"Just open the bread drawer, and he'll run out and go back outside, and that will be that," she said with a sigh, as if anyone would know to do that.
But of course that's not what happened. True, he leapt in the air (we both did, actually), but instead of running outside to safety, he chose to go behind the shelf where I keep the cookbooks–and it was only an hour or so later that I noticed him making a mad dash for the screened porch, which is where he had come in. Once he was on the porch, I was able to scootch him over to the door, and out he went, back to the natural world.
I'd like to think he was relieved, but he came back the next day, and the day after that, though, paying a quick visit to the bread drawer each time, although he never ate anything, I noticed. (My husband said, "Would YOU eat anything if a giant was chasing you?")
Ha! If only animals thought of me as a giant who was in the least bit menacing. This summer there has been a revolution by animals, and they don't seem to fear us at all.
There was the mouse in the tub, who didn't even look frightened when I discovered him and helped him, via shoe box, to resume his life in the woods.
And there was the snake in the garden, who wasn't the least bit impressed by all the snake-discouraging marigolds I'd planted, attempting to save myself some startled moments. Not only did this snake NOT MIND these marigolds, as he was supposed to, he actually slithered around in them for a long time, draping himself across their leaves, burying his face in their blossoms. For hours. As though he were intent on making a point.
And as if that wasn't bad enough, he came back the next day to do it again, too–and when he got startled by a passing cat, he vanished into a crack into the shingles of the house, where he no doubt has a large and loving family awaiting him.
Feeling faint, I staggered to the phone and put the house on the market.
Then there have been the hawks, who have taken up residence in our treetops–raising loud, hungry families that scream and wheel around our yard day and night, staging fights with other hawk gangs as necessary, conducting flight schools for the young–and swooping down to catch tiny animals (but not, apparently, snakes and chipmunks). They sound like a colony of pterodactyls, frankly.
Two bears were recently reported wandering on the elementary school properties less than a mile from here.
And my friends on the next block were awakened recently in the middle of the night to find that something kept landing in their hair while they slept. When they turned on the light, they discovered themselves face to face with a BAT. Fortunately they were able to come to their senses in time to trap the thing; otherwise, as the animal control people explained, they would have had to have rabies shots, because apparently vampires bats bite you so delicately, you often don't know you've been chewed upon.
Clearly, we are under siege.
No wonder I was hardly startled when I looked up the other day to see THIS MONSTER looking in at me while I was writing my novel. It was just hanging on the screen, staring in at me. Perhaps it was the Novel Police.
"I'm working," I said to it. "Please just keep your opinions to yourself, since this is just a first draft…and if you're hungry, the bread drawer is right there in the kitchen, on your right."

Eritrea acceded to the Convention on 27 August 2001, and the Convention entered into force for Eritrea on 1 February 2002.
Stockpile Destruction (Article 4)
In its initial transparency report submitted on 3 September 2002, Eritrea reported that it had no stockpiled anti-personnel mines under its ownership or possession.
Retained Mines (Article 3)
Notwithstanding the obligation to destroy all stockpiled anti-personnel mines, the Convention permits the retention of the minimum number of anti-personnel mines absolutely necessary for the development of and training in mine detection, mine clearance, or mine destruction techniques. As of 2014, Eritrea has reported having retained 101 anti-personnel mines for these permitted purposes, 71 of which Eritrea indicates are inert.
Mine Clearance (Article 5)
In its initial transparency report Eritrea indicated that there were areas under its jurisdiction or control in which anti-personnel mines were known or suspected to be emplaced.
In accordance with Article 5 of the Convention, Eritrea undertook to destroy or ensure the destruction of all anti-personnel mines in these areas as soon as possible but not later than 1 February 2012.
On 31 March 2011, Eritrea submitted a request to extend its mine clearance deadline. The request was granted at the Eleventh Meeting of the States Parties and a new deadline set for 1 February 2015.
On 23 January 2014, Eritrea submitted a second request to extend its mine clearance deadline. The request was granted at the Third Review Conference and a new deadline set for 1 February 2020.
Victim Assistance
Eritrea is one of 30 States Parties that have indicated having significant numbers – hundreds or thousands – of landmine survivors.

Like you saw in our previous post, some celebrities are never getting old, but how do they look in their bikinis? Up until now we have seen them on the red carpet looking irresistible, and their years are not getting in the way with their look. But, still in the outfits we have seen them we can't see the real look.
Outfits are always hiding something beneath them, especially those who are getting older.
That is why we found hot pictures of 45 celebrities who are over 40 years old. Their body is still super hot and no one can resist their beauty.
They are in some points different from each other, but still they are able to keep their body in shape and to look perfect in bikini. See for yourself, they are looking even better from other younger women.
Which one got your full attention?

If this recipe title made you think of The Sandlot, I consider you an immediate friend. If not, all I can say is, "You're killing me, Smalls!" Moving on...
If you're having people over or you're supposed to take a dessert to a function, do you assume baking a pan of boxed brownies or maybe a sheet of slice 'n bake cookies are your two quickest "I made these myself!" options? If so, you're WRONG! This cake is absolutely faster than either of those, and if you think I'm nuts for saying that, I totally understand. I'd been hearing rumors from other Pampered Chef consultants that this cake was amazingly easy and that it only took a few minutes, but I somehow never got around to making it. That's embarrassing. Anyway, I tried it for the first time the other night (in front of my show host and her guests, mind you), and I was blown away! There is no measuring. There is no pre-heating the oven (Use the broiler for less than a minute.). There is no mixer. There is no waiting for anything to cool so that it can be dipped off of or out of a burning hot pan and displayed appropriately. Read on to find out why I will always have the ingredients for this ridiculously easy cake on hand.
S'more Cake
3 Hershey bars, broken into pieces
1 small package (9 oz.) devil's food cake mix
(Use 1 2/3 cups of a standard box if you can't find the small size.)
1 egg
1 8-oz container sour cream
1 bag regular marshmallows or 4 cups mini-marshmallows
3 whole graham crackers, coarsely crushed
Place oven rack in the center of the oven. Turn on the broiler.
Microwave chocolate in 2-cup Prep Bowl 30-60 seconds or until mostly melted. Stir until smooth, and set aside. (I start at 40 seconds, stir, and go 10 more seconds.)
Combine cake mix, egg, and sour cream, and stir until blended. Pour batter into Rockcrok.
Microwave, covered, on HIGH 4-5 minutes or until center of cake is firm and springs back when pressed.
Remove pan from microwave, arrange marshmallows in an even layer over cake, and broil 30-60 seconds or until marshmallows are golden brown.
Remove cake from broiler, sprinkle with graham crackers, and top with chocolate.
*** Milk warning: You'll need a glass.
See these ingredients? They're all you'll need for this cake. Seriously. Cake mix is in a Stainless Mixing Bowl, and the Rockcrock (2.5-qt.) is sitting there with the marshmallows and Mix 'n Scraper. Notice the marshmallows are closed with a Twixit! Clip... 14 years as a consultant, and I still get excited about the stinking bag clips. The egg and chocolate are in 1 and 2-Cup Prep Bowls, and that's the Large Cutting Board underneath.
This batter will be thick, and it won't seem like there's a whole lot of it. Just trust the recipe, and get ready for this to rise into a delicious base layer for the s'more deliciousness you're after. The Rockcrok here is the 2.5-Qt. Everyday Pan, but there's also a 4-Qt. Dutch Oven if you're looking for something a little bigger. These things are awesome! They go in the microwave, the oven, the freezer, and on the grill! Did you catch that? These are your new pans for recipes that start on the stove, move to the oven, and finish on the grill. (You have a ton of those in your recipe box, right?)
Arrange your marshmallows, and put them under the broiler until they're golden, puffy, and crazy delicious. Trust me when I say you'll never get marshmallow results like this over a fire. That's fun and all, but for every one good marshmallow, you get ten that are either charred or in the fire... and extra charred.
I'm sorry for the lack of pictures, but there's just not a lot to show. I mean, you top with the graham crackers, drizzle the chocolate over the top, and you're done. Then you can even cover with the Rockcrok lid for easy transport!
Let me know when you make this... and you're welcome.

TSUKUYUMI – Full Moon Down was developed by Felix Mertikat with his games publishing company King Racoon Games. For two years, he worked on the strategy game and play tested it with more than 200 players, refining it down to the last detail.
Designed as an area-control game, the balancing was aimed at giving every faction the ability to conquer and hold area tiles – hit points and destructive potential played a less central role.
When a new faction was envisioned, then their potential to conquer was always put first, followed by their ability to successfully hold areas. All the other faction properties were then aimed at increasing, modifying or expanding this potential. This meant that an individual play style could be developed for each faction, and a variety of strategies were possible. The players can and should dive into the world of a faction, sound out the complexity of the rules, and try something new every campaign.
Replayability: 150%This figure symbolises that every game is new and different and gives players incentive to take Tsukuyumi down from the shelf again and again.
Tsukuyumi is not supposed to have an "engine", which controls the effects or the neutral Oni faction each round. Instead, the top priority is "power to the player".
For example: The cards dictate that Oni units must be placed, but the player decides which units and in what area. Events which influence the game are also always introduced by the player. This means that unforeseen events are never a question of chance or luck.
In addition, the game is marked by transformability and variety. The area tiles can be reassembled differently every time and laid out in all kinds of variations. Factions bring in special rules or suspend existing ones, and change the flow of the game with special missions and goals. These mechanisms act as a sort of expansion on the basic game, which gives the play a different focus and has a significant effect on the game dynamic.
These basic principles of TSUKUYUMI may reflect Felix Mertikat's undeniable love of role-playing games.
Game developer Felix Mertikat loves games where you can dig into the mechanics, and are more than just cardboard pieces on a table.

My family adopted a 1-year-old dog last fall. All we told the shelter staff is that we have an active household, with energetic kids, and most days, neighbor kids gleefully running in and out of our house. We wanted a nice, kid-friendly, family dog.
We went home with "Lucy," a cute mid-size Australian Cattle mix. Lucy turned out to give the energetic children in my life a run for their money. She certainly knew how to relax but when she wanted to play, not only was it frequent, it became obvious to all.
As weeks turned into months, we figured out when it was best to take her for walks, what games to play with her outside, what dog parks she could visit and lastly, how often she needed doggie daycare. Fast-forward a year, she heads to her favorite play place, Fydoland, to 'play with her friends' about twice a week.
School started last week for my children and therefore our schedules have been a tad busier than the summertime. Lucy was accustomed to kids being home all day, with plenty of activity in the house. Now, she accompanies the kids downstairs to eat before school and sadly heads to her crate as kids leave for school. I returned home from school drop off, and Lucy was calmly hanging out near my feet, knowing it was going to be a boring day for her, while I worked from my desk all day until school lets out.
However, what she didn't know was that she was heading to play with her friends that afternoon! I love to tell Lucy when she is heading to play with her friends because her entire body wiggles and moves with complete glee. Our entire family circles around, when home, to watch her react when we tell her that she is going in the car to "play with her friends." And this day, I really wanted to tell her so she could look forward to something. But here is the thing about Lucy; she gets so excited to climb into the car to play with friends at Fydoland that we can not tell her until the minute before we must leave. And though she was looking a little bored and sad, lying at my feet, she was just two hours away from having the afternoon of her dreams. She may have felt overlooked in the moment, but I knew better. As I watched her sleeping at my feet, I realized: this is exactly how God handles our lives.
He knows what is ahead of us. Lucy, like us, lives in the present moment and therefore it can be difficult to know what is around the corner. At times, we sit and worry, become frustrated that something did not work out as we desire. And it is difficult to see past the present moment. But what if God uses everything for good? What if God knows that we must go through the present challenge to make His plan for us fruitful?
Much like, years ago, when to calm a fever, parents were directed to place a child in an ice bath. At the present moment, the child believes they are being hurt. They just don't understand why their parent would put them through something so uncomfortable. Yet the parent knows by quelling the fever, the child will be better off in the long run. We must trust, day in and day out, that no matter what challenge we are currently sitting with, God uses it for good and the betterment of our selves. We just must trust.
We did not get that job? That relationship that did not work out? God knows that the perfect job opportunity, positive relationship, or healthy turnaround is right around the corner and just not ready for you yet, for reasons only he knows.
Lucy is learning to trust that I know that she needs exercise and play time throughout the day. I continue to learn that God knows what I need, too and I must always continue to trust Him, even when things don't seem to make sense to me in that moment.

The rink I first started skating at Clawson's Ambassador Roller Rink in Clawson, Michigan closed a few years back, after I moved East. I discovered it is now a upscale furniture botique.. When I skated there 1950-1958 and then again in 1979-1986 there were pictures of me skating dance and freestyle hanging on the walls, from back in the 1950's. I asked my friend and then owner Patty Gagnan back in the 90's, the place rink was very iffy as a viable business then, that if and when it did close could she snag the pictures for me?? Fast forward to last Monday evening at a 1970's oldtimers night at Skate World, in Troy, Michigan. Patty is a Pro there now and dropped ny to say her hello's. I asked her what happened to all the memorabilia from the rink, and she said they left it all there and just walked away, and that the people running the store probably had all the stuff. There were selling the old benches, and rental skates in the store, the last time I was there, but I didn't notice any old photos??. So the next day I wandered into Leon&Lulu's for a look see.. I asked the owner about the old photos that came with the building, and he asked if I had seen the Skating Rink Shrine in the front entrence.. I hand't as I allways entered the side entrence off the perking lot :-) So he showed me to the display, it was a jump back in time for sure, and there smack in the middle of the display was a picture of me and my old partner taken when we were skating a skating show at the rink, somewhere around 1857 or 58 ??? There were a few more familiar faces, but my old brain missed most of the names... The store retained the original skating surface, figure circles and all, and had a strange award hanging in the front entrence, that was both sad, and interesting all at the same time?? I'll try and post a few pictures I snaped with my point and shoot. So far they have only found the one image of me and my partner, but the promised to check the storage for any others.

Street Racing
Done it in car, on Motorcycles, bicyles, and on my speed skates and Blades.. Quads on streets are fun until you catch some junk on the road or sidewalk. I skated a couple if street races, back in the day.. I remember it was very hard to skate , racing anyway in a straight line. And even a tiny pebbel on the road was bad news :-(

Outdoor extreme skating is pretty popular here in Austin TX. Also, the local outdoor 3.1 mile Veloway has a ton of distance enthusiasts.

North Point Rollarena officially died today. I saw them working on it and snapped this picture of what was one of the finest skating floors on the East Coast, before they ran me off. What's left of a 190' by 90' maple floor
I worked there for years, met my wife there (lots of other girls too), had the best times of my life on that floor. It hadn't skated a session for maybe 20 years, but until today, there was hope. Not any more.

Bob... that's the saddest picture I have ever seen!
EDIT: add on
Yes Bob, the rink where Kenny and I met is no longer a rink either... the building is still there. We were all just talking about it last Tuesday because of the filming at Phesantland. Marty was telling us Pheasantland was a little smaller than Pike (South Hampton, PA) That's where we all met! Marty said the "floor" is still there, if we went down and went into the (now a showroom for boats) building all the memories of the floor are still there. Would love to go see where I fell and broke my hand... apparently Kenny skated past as I was sitting there and thought "huuummmm ... she's kinda cute, maybe I'll ask her to skate good night couples". And here we are 35 years later and still skating our good night couples together.
Heartbreaking to see your memories torn up and put in a dumpster!!!

Has anyone approached the roller skating gurus and found any such to open?
I would be curious, if anyone in the last 20 years has opened one.

Skatervideoguy -
There are very few rinks that have that 70's color palette in their carpets and wall paint, but Coachlite was one of them. Unfortunately, the Coachlite's didn't seem to weather the rink famine like the Skatelands and Skateworlds. There is a similar Coachlite rink in St. Louis, Mo that I believe is still operational and has kept the old designs. Maybe you and your wife can visit that one as the surrogate for your old KC location.
As indicated by Skatervideoguy's list, KC took a big hit, but KC had a ton of rinks at one time. So even now, there's probably at least 8-10 roller rinks in the surrounding KC area. Compared to areas like NY City and San Fran, which are barely able to muster up a handful of rinks, little old KC is doing just fine IMHO.
Here's another one that died in the midwest:

Hi diagetus,
Sorry about the type-o. It should have been "Roe". Inspite of close to 50yrs. of practice, I still can't type worth a crap, or spell either. Nor is my proof reading much better.
Thank God I can at least Roller Skate.
That CoachLite is likely one built buy Ken Saseck (SP) and family. They built 2 in Topeka, Ks. (still open) 3 in the KC area (2 still open) Then in St Louis & Chicago. He died recently and his wife, and mostly his daughter & son-in-law, still run one there in St Louis.
His son owns and operates what is now "Skate World" in Overland Park, Ks., one of the Rinks I skate in. I've known the family since they first moved to Topeka, Ks. and built their Rink's there - way back. Topeka is my home town.
297's on Centurys, 220's on Snyder Advantage, BackSpin 95's, Bones 97's, 98's, 101A's, Skating 65+yrs & still Rollin at 73+. Great Lifetime Hobby to have !

This might make you feel a little ill. You guys ever hear what USA has done in the past when a competing rink in one of their markets closes down. They'll buy the assets either outright or in auction and run the floor through a wood chipper just to keep it from being used by someone else to open a skating rink.

The United Skates of America management team always were the cold-hearted corporate types. Maybe that's why they're still in the roller rink business after nearly forty years!
CARTchamp, I know you were a USA North (now 71 Skate Zone) guy, and you might have have been in the East rink before, but do you remember USA West, out on Sullivant Avenue? It must have closed down around 1990 or so. We used to round up a gang from the North rink and head out there to terrorize them every once in awhile. It was a smaller facility, nowhere near as nice as USA North, and it had a smooth, coated cement floor.

Okay...now I have to think back to my 80's club-hopping days...
East Dallas/Atlantis/Club Dance (and, I think, that huge club might have been called a couple of other things over the years) was/is in that shopping center at the corner of Brice and Livingston. I remember that one because I knew one of the DJ's there.
After the Gold Rush was a different club in a stand-alone building that was around the corner on Scarborough Blvd. close to the JC Penney distribution center. A car dealership sits on that site now. That one, I remember because one of my friends was a bouncer there.
The old USA West skating rink was on Sullivant Avenue and after it was sold it did become some sort of bar or nightclub with a hispanic theme, reflecting the large hispanic community in that section of town. Then, the city shut it down due to a number of liquor violations and shootings on the premises!
A few other rinks around here that have come and gone...
The Linden Roller Rink. I think this was the first place I ever skated as a little kid around 1968. It was a small, old-fashioned rink that must have closed in the mid-1970's. The building is still there- now it's a bingo hall or something like that. It's behind Yoho's restaurant at the intersection of Westerville Road and Oakland Park.
Roller Chalet. Closed about seven years ago. Used to be an ice rink, then was converted to a roller rink. It was behind Roush Honda in Westerville, on Schrock Road.
Reynoldsburg Roller Rink. Pretty sure it's not there anymore- it's been awhile since I was out that way. Was on Main Street in the heart of Reynoldsburg, next to their municipal pool (if that's still there). Of note on this rink: A few years ago I read an interview with rapper Bow Wow (who was "L'il" at the time) and he said that this was the rink he skated at as a kid!
Hard to believe that the United Skates of America corporation once operated three rinks right here in Columbus. At one point, they had over thirty rinks in their chain. I see from their website that they operate only about half that many now. I skated at USA rinks in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Springfield and Indianapolis over the years.
All this talk about skating is making me want to go skate! I wonder what 71 Skate Zone is like on a Saturday afternoon nowadays?

wow we had a skate a way in our area here in KY that closed about that same time. What a coincidence. They have reopened it just this past september. I guess I never really thought about there being another one some where elses.
sorry to get off topic this just surprised me.

Someone who is "Daved Out" likes to play in Fantasy Sports leagues. Unfortunately, this guy always pays his entrance money late. He waits to see if he has a shot at the winnings, and then he comes up with the loot. In the worst-case situations, when someone behaves like the ORIGINAL Dave, he may not ever offer to pay until he finds out that he has won first place in the league.
Additionally, anyone who is "Daved Out" acts like a total fucking pussy. This makes them a "Total Dave."

To be "Daved Out" means that you have no authority or say in what you do, who you talk to or how you live your life, because your girl has taken over control. Guys that are "Daved Out" are not allowed to hang out with their friends unless they ask permission from their woman. "Daved Out" also can refer to backing out of something without a real explanation.
Anyone who is "Daved Out" is a total pussy.
Other forms of the word include: "Dave Move," or "Total Dave."

Shadows Strike (Immortal Guardians series Book 6) Book Review
What would you do if you were able to read minds? What would you do if you were able to tell the future? Would you tell someone or would you keep what you have read a secret. Would you try to change the outcome or destiny of said future?
Well in Dianne Duvall next installment of The Immortal Guardians Heather Lane has the opportunity to answer these questions for us.
Heather Lane U.S. law enforcement agent she had the gift of being a telepathic since birth. No one outside her family knew what she was capable of doing. Then something happen for almost a year she was having recurring dreams; something that could only be a dream right? It's normal to dream, however it's not normal to dream of one thing each and every night with the same outcome. So one day she decided to see if she could find the field she had seen in her dreams. At actually 5:43 what she dreamed was coming true in fact it was coming true just the way it happened in her dreams.
When I had the chance to read Shadows Strike I went into this book with high hopes of being mildly entertained. I can honestly say that Dianne Duvall has actually surprised me. Shadow Strike was so much more than what I've come to expect from a paranormal romance. Plot was well developed and the story had me captivated, which makes for a highly entertaining, gratifying night.

To the Editor: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler-Weber-Rendu disease) is characterized by recurrent bleeding episodes, multiple telangiectasias, and familial occurrence. Treatment of this disease is unsatisfactory. Oral estrogen may be very useful in controlling the frequency and severity of epistaxis (1). However, due to the feminizing effects of estrogens, male patients may be reluctant to take the hormones. The authors were recently forced to search for an alternative treatment in a male patient who refused to take estrogen. There was marked improvement of symptoms with danazol, a synthetic weak androgen.

Need Branch Removal in Bronx, NY? Leave It To The Professionals
Trees are valuable assets to any property. Beyond the increased value, they also provide beauty and shade. The comfort people enjoy under trees is instinctual, a tie to nature stretching back to the very beginnings of the human race. However, proper tree care is necessary to maintain that beauty and protect not only the trees on the property but also the house beneath the trees and the safety of one's own family. That is what makes tree damage a serious issue to be dealt with by professional tree services that can carry out proper branch removal in Bronx NY.
There are two reasons to carry out branch removal, with the first being clearance following a severe weather event. The second one focuses on necessary pruning to maintain the continued integrity and health of the trees. This latter necessity can be complicated by the presence of hidden damage that may not be apparent to the naked eye but can be revealed by a thorough tree inspection by certified arborists.
Loose or falling branches constitute a serious risk of injury or even death. Some of these branches are very large and beyond the physical capacity of the homeowner to handle. Branches can be broken off from the trunk from storm damage, the weight of snow and ice, and by rot. Removing these branches is a dangerous job. This is where a professional tree service helps by bringing in a crew and industrial equipment for the job. Successful removal can limit damage to other limbs of the tree or the trunk. Depending on the magnitude of the task, the affected branch can be sectioned and taken down in pieces. Following the removal of the actual limb, the arborist will then treat the stump to prevent insect intrusion or infection and maintain the overall health of the tree.
Strategic pruning following storm damage can restore the balance of the tree and improve its post-surgery appearance. However, this service is also prudent as a preventative measure. Identifying which limbs may be most vulnerable to storm damage and threaten the integrity of the tree itself is a vital step towards carrying out proper tree maintenance. By trimming these problem branches, more serious damage can be avoided and the life of the tree maintained. Visit us for a consultation when you are in need of professional branch removal in Bronx NY.

Understanding shape control during wet chemical synthesis is important for rational synthesis of nanostructures. Here, we show that two-dimensional metal structures can be obtained from metal salts by reducing the driving force of the reduction reaction that directly translates to the growth of the metal taking place by the two-dimensional nucleation (layer-by-layer growth) mechanism. Experimental evidence is provided for Au, Ag, Pt and Pd systems by choosing appropriate reaction conditions without using any external surfactant. The results are analyzed in terms of the calculations of driving force under different conditions. The results show that surfactants may not be important for producing shape control for the case of 2-D structures while they are required to obtain size control. It is shown that the regime of low driving force is also one where the kinetics of the process is slow and thus a new interpretation of the kinetic control hypothesis is provided.

Two stunning pieces of skill by Lionel Messi and two languid finishes from substitute Neymar saw Barcelona beat a resilient Athletic Bilbao side 2-0 to pick up a third consecutive win and stay top of the Primera Division on a night that saw rivals Real Madrid beaten by defending champions Atletico.
Ernesto Valverde's side had produced a disciplined performance at the Camp Nou and looked to be heading for a point until a moment of brilliance from Messi released Neymar, who broke the deadlock with nine minutes remaining. The Argentinian and Brazilian then combined again for the second goal, Messi cutting the ball back for his team-mate to strike low into the bottom corner and deliver the final blow to Athletic.
Atletico Madrid took all Real Madrid had to throw at them in the derby as they triumphed 2-1 at the Bernabeu. Last season's surprise champions weathered a first-half storm after Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty cancelled out Tiago's opener, and their resolve was worth it as they won it in the 76th minute.
Substitute Arda Turan got their winner, but all their players were heroes as budgets were again made a mockery of as Diego Simeone's men won across the city for the second time in two seasons. Real's Galacticos had no answer to Atleti's steel and this success comes after the Red and Whites won the Super Cup against the European champions earlier this month.
Struggling Levante frustrated Malaga in a goalless draw at La Rosaleda. Levante came into the match having lost both of their opening games against Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao respectively, conceding a total of five goals, leaving coach Jose Luis Mendilibar under pressure.
However, defensive frailties in those encounters failed to be repeated on Saturday as Malaga failed to really test visiting stopper Jesus Fernandez.
And although Levante failed to find the net for the first time this season Mendilibar will take positives from keeping a clean sheet against a Malaga side who had beaten Atletico on the opening day of the season.
Sociedad salvage point
In Saturday's late kick-off, Real Sociedad pulled off another extraordinary comeback to salvage a point from a 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo, despite trailing the Galicians by two goals with little more than 20 minutes remaining.
In their next league game after their thrilling 4-2 win over Real Madrid, Jagoba Arrasate's side gave themselves a mountain to climb at Balaidos, going down to a first half header from the in-form Fabian Orellana and then an unorthodox finish from Joaquin Larrivey at the start of the second period.
However, Imanol Agirretxe reduced the deficit in the 69th minute and a late onslaught from the Basques followed, with Jonny Castro diverting the ball into his own net in injury time to gift a point to the visitors.
Eduardo Berrizo's side are still unbeaten after three Primera Division games but will be kicking themselves after conceding two sloppy goals so late in the game, while La Real again demonstrated their ability to resurrect a seemingly lost cause.

Lumbermens Mutual appeal
Combs was a senior offsite radiology technologist employed by Hancock Memorial Hospital and Health Services ("Hancock Hospital") and earned approximately $3000 per month before taxes. Hancock Hospital is operated by its board of trustees. Appellant's App. at 116 (affidavit of Hancock Hospital counsel C. Thomas Cone). Combs participated in Hancock Hospital's long-term disability benefit plan ("the Plan"), which is insured and administered by Lumbermens Mutual Casualty. In 2000, Combs's primary care physician, Dr. Craig Johnston, referred Combs to hematologist/oncologist Dr. Magaral Murali for evaluation of her persistent anemia and increasing fatigue. Dr. Murali diagnosed Combs with myelodysplastic syndrome.2 Initially, Dr. Murali treated Combs with iron, vitamin B12, and steroids. When this treatment proved unsuccessful, Combs received injections of erythropoietin.3 Because of her illness, Combs stopped working at Hancock Hospital on July 29, 2001.
On February 15, 2002, Combs filed an application for long-term disability benefits with Lumbermens' subsidiary and claims administrator, Kemper National Services In her application, Combs stated that she was unable to work because of "severe fatigue, weakness, bone & muscle pain, unable to lift or stand, difficulty concentrating, dizziness[.]" Def. Exh. 14 at 98. Combs listed her illnesses as "myelodysplastic syndrome, anemia, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome[.]" Id. In a letter dated April 16, 2002, Kemper notified Combs that she had become eligible for $1,748.25 in monthly benefits effective January 26, 2002, based on Kemper's determination that she had a disability that prevented her from performing the essential functions of her regular occupation for the following twenty-four months. Id. at 326-27. This is known as an "own occ" disability standard.

I know it will be not the same anymore but I want to try and I'm sure Witek and Covan will support me and will be happy about that… So I want to say that if anybody from drummers and vocalists feel that they can continue what Witek and Covan did and put all power, energy and live time for this band, contact me – firstname.lastname@example.com."
Arsis has dropped off of the previously mentioned Carcass tour, and drummer David Kinkade offered the following commentary:
"I regret to inform everyone that Arsis will NOT be on the Carcass tour scheduled to kick off in Philadelphia on the 13th of March. This is due to situations in Arsis that are out of my hands… There are major personal and communication issues in this band that need be resolved before anything can continue as Arsis. Due to the situation, I am available for session/possible long-term drum work nationally and internationally."
