Top health experts reveal key strategies to better health in 2014.
Instead of starting the new year under pressure to meet unrealistic expectations, why not resolve to make just one simple change for your well-being? Top experts at Sharecare.com offer their recommendations for little things that can make the most impact on your health in 2014. #1. Swap your office chair for an inflatable exercise ball. All the sitting we do during the day weakens our back and core. People think working their core is only good for swimsuit-wearing, but a strong core supports your back muscles, which are very tiny. The ball keeps you in a squat position, and you can also bounce up and down while you do your work, giving you a total-body workout: As you�re pushing up and down with your legs, you are strengthening your hamstrings, quads and calf muscles and engaging your core and glutes. You can also raise your heart rate bouncing�nobody on the other end of the phone will know! Start by using the ball for a minimum of 30 minutes three times a day, and gradually work up to longer periods. �DR. VONDA WRIGHT, orthopedic surgeon Author, Fitness After 40 #2. Make a family �screen plan.� By monitoring your children�s use of computers, smart phones, tablets, TV� anything with a screen�your family will sleep better, spend more time talking to each other, get more exercise and improve your overall health. Start by limiting screen time to no more than 1 to 2 hours a day. Discourage screen media exposure altogether for children less than 2 years of age. Set an electronic curfew�one hour before bed, turn off and remove from the bedroom all mobile media devices (including cell phones, tablets and laptops). Keep TVs and desktop computers out of the bedroom. Monitor the media your children are using. And don�t forget to model responsible media behavior yourself. Put down your smart phone and talk to your kids. You�re not only helping your family now, you are teaching your children to have a socially responsible media diet�important for a healthy life! �DR. TANYA REMER ALTMANN, pediatrician Spokesperson for the American Association of Pediatrics #3.�Plan to do something�for yourself�that�s not food-related�every week. As humans, we�re conditioned to look for the reward. What�s a better incentive than�a favorite activity? When you�ve been running frazzled, it�s tempting to reach for that chocolate treat. Instead, mix in weekly non-food ways to recharge and stimulate the release of feel-good brain chemical dopamine�lunch with girlfriends, a tennis�match, massage or treadmill time with your favorite TV show. Put it on your calendar every week. Getting to a healthy weight can be hard, but it�s one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Excess weight can increase joint and back pain, not to mention your risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure�and even cancer. A weekly reward will make the challenges of implementing a healthy lifestyle less daunting. It�s so easy in our busy lives to not take any time for�yourself�make this your resolution next year. �DR. DARRIA GILLESPIE, emergency room physician #4. Eat whole foods. A whole-food diet will help you get to or maintain a healthy weight, reduce inflammation and improve how you feel. Eating a healthy diet is�the fastest way to wellness! Cut back on the processed foods in the house, and focus on shopping on the perimeter of the grocery store, where produce, lean meats and low- fat dairy are usually located. Ask for a Mediterranean-style cookbook for the holidays to get you started on a journey that will improve your health and keep you well. �DR. ROBIN MILLER, internist�Medical Director, Triune Integrative Medicine, Medford, Ore. #5. Meditate�for five minutes every morning and evening. Stress ages us more than anything else. It�s�a part of life�but controlling it is the key, and meditating is one of the easiest ways to do that. There are various ways to meditate; experiment to find a way that you enjoy. An easy one is to focus on belly breathing: As you inhale, observe how your belly button goes�out, and as you exhale, notice that it goes back to your spine. You�can also imagine yourself in a beautiful place, like Hawaii, or repeat a word or phrase, like �chocolate,� over and over. Even if you don�t think meditating is for you, give it a try for just a week. Most people feel less exhausted and much more vibrant, even after just a few days. �DR. MICHAEL ROIZEN, internist,�Chief Wellness Officer, Cleveland Clinic� CLICK HERE FOR MORE SHARECARE.COM EXPERTS Brought to you by: Spry Living

How Attackers Choose Which Vulnerabilities to Exploit
It seems that not a day goes by without a headline announcing that a zero-day flaw has been found in operating system and application code. This increase in the discovery and exploitation of zero-day attacks is certainly a cause for concern, but most attackers rely on known and usually vendor-patched vulnerabilities to attack their victims. According to Solutionary's 2012 Q4 Intelligence Report, at least half of the exploit kits that attempt to inject malware into Web surfers' computers target vulnerabilities more than 2 years old, while some had been known vulnerabilities for as many as 10 years.
In this report, Dark Reading gets into the heads of hackers and explains why some vulnerabilities are exploited over and over again while others are largely ignored. We also offer some recommendations on how enterprise IT organizations can use this insight to help maximize their security resources and defenses. (S6700313)

Surprise your friends! Astonish your family! With Pimsleur, you'll be speaking and understanding like a native in no time. Thirty minutes a day is all it takes.
French Level 1 Lessons 6-10 builds on material taught in prior units. Each lesson provides 30 minutes of spoken language practice, with an introductory conversation and new vocabulary and structures. Detailed instructions enable you to understand and participate in the conversation. Each lesson contains practice for vocabulary introduced in previous lessons. The emphasis is on pronunciation and comprehension and on learning to speak French. Reading lessons begin in unit nine and provide you with an introduction to reading French. These lessons are designed to teach you to sound out words with correct pronunciation and accent. A reading booklet to be used with the audio lessons is also included in PDF format.

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." (AudioFile magazine)
"I like it"
I listen in the car on the way to work most mornings. I like how it builds upon everything it teaches and gets you speaking conversationally very quickly. If I keep this up for 6 months I'll be ready for a trip to France in no time!
"Easiest way for me to learn"
I have always preferred the Pimsleur Language series. it seems to better suit my learning style.
"Reading practice without a text?
I wonder how one gets the reading material.
Its value need to be discounted if it contains
nonusable materials.
"Good course"
This is a really good french course: it does work. I started to learn german with pimslaur first, and experiencing surprising success I also bought the first few of the french course. It goes a bit slower for me than the german, but I studied german at school years ago so I gues that helpes with that.. I go quite slowly with french but I notice that it is getting easier and the words and sentences just stick on me after a while. I think this learning program worths its price and it is really effective. I would surely recommend it to friends in the future (as I already did in the past).
"Not a bad course"
These are the more advanced Units of Phase 1, it follows on from Unit 5. The course, like the previous units, tends to provide a sentence, and then breaks down all the words in the sentence, and the pronunciations for the words. As I mentioned in the title, not a bad course and I'd recommend it to help supplement French learning. As a side note most of the Pimsleur course seem to follow the same learning approach and if you like one of the other language programs you'll probably like this one.

Choosing Walk-In Refrigerators and Freezers: A Buying GuideMonday, February 3rd, 2014
Today on the What's Cookin' blog, we invite you to put on your jackets and join us for a rundown of the most frequently asked questions about walk-in refrigerators and freezers.
Beloved by businesses of all kinds from ice creameries to flower shops, walk-ins are a necessary part of daily life, keeping perishables fresh, chilly, and accessible on the premises. They come in many sizes and configurations, so it can be tough to choose the right one for your business. So without further ado, here is everything you ever wanted to know about commercial walk-in refrigerators and freezers but were afraid to ask.
What are the different kinds of walk-in refrigerators and freezers?
There are 3 kinds: refrigerators, freezers, and hybrids. You can put a walk-in and its condenser pretty much anywhere, so whether you need it inside or outside of your facility, you're covered. Walk-ins work with existing flooring as well as pre-fabricated flooring. Note that if you do purchase a walk-in for outdoor use, you'll need a compressor cover, crank case heater, fan cycle control, and roof-sealing kit.
What kind of refrigeration system do I need?
A walk-in's refrigeration system is made up of a condenser (on the outside of the walk-in) and an evaporator (on the inside of the walk-in). Both your condenser and your evaporator should have high-efficiency EISA-compliant motors. There are 3 types of refrigeration systems:

Yes. Allow solvent to flash off first.
Simon Hope of Bilfinger Salamis on
February 18, 2013:
It is absolutely essential that IOZ is subjected to water, as it is needed as part of the chemical reaction to obtain chemical cure. IOZ will not cure in low humidity even though it seems to be dry; this is one of the most common failures to manifest as an apparent cohesive failure. Water must be present. High humidity is best, but a fine spray applied to the entire structure will work once the IOZ is through dry. It is essential to check the degree of cure using a white rag soaked in solvent, gently rubbed on the surface to ensure no material is dissolved. Once the IOZ is cured, it is imperative that the coating is thoroughly dried before the application of the sealer coat; otherwise, you will have reaction of the zinc to form oxide and the inevitable disbonding again!
Karen Oscarson of PPG on
February 15, 2013:
Yes, that is common practice in geographically arid parts of the world.
S. Matsumoto of Abraco on
February 15, 2013:
I have similar experience. Spray water but do not wash after a couple of hours.
Ahmed Abd Ellatif of ENPC on
February 28, 2013:
Yes, apply water if the relative humidity is below 65% but wait for 2 hours after application and use water with a low salt percentage because salt will delay the curing.
Stephen Bothello of Jotun Paints on
February 20, 2013:
Yes, water can accelerate the cure. However, it's better to check with the coating manufacturer before taking this step. Seldom at low relative humidity levels below 30%, even with repeated water spray, it may not cure, depending on the product formula, and all uncured coating may need to be removed. This can therefore be confirmed only by the coating manufacturer's technical representative. In inorganic zinc silicates the curing/optimum strength development is by the hydrolysis reaction (addition of water) of the inorganic silicate binder/ polymer. A major part of this hydrolysis reaction is executed in the factory during production process by adding calculated amount of water and catalyst. The balance of the hydrolysis reaction has to be completed by water molecules from atmospheric humidity (after mixing & application). Most hydrolysis reactions are normally standardised by the manufacturers at 60% to 75 % atmospheric relative humidity levels. Lower than this humidity level will require external water spray (mist spray is sufficient, not high pressure spray ). At exceptionally low relative humidity levels (generally below 35%), it's better to call the manufacturer's technical representative and ask for technical advise/ intervention before application. Completion of this reaction to optimum levels/ cure state is assessed by the mandatory MEK rub test (ASTM D 4752). A rating minimum of 4 is good enough and 5 considered excellent for cure and strength development for subsequent coating with epoxy midcoat/ other coatings. Coin rub test for burnishing effect can be used as an additional confirmatory test to confirm curing over large/ entire area.
Jayakrishnan Radhakrishnan of Sigma Paints Saudi Arabia Limited on
February 14, 2013:
Yes, after approximately 4 hours of application, the primed surface should be wetted or soaked with clean water for 2 hours, followed by complete drying.
Grant Kirby-Smith of Jotun Paints on
February 11, 2013:
Yes, provide it has dried for at least a couple of hours or it will wash off. Always conduct an MEK rub test + coin test to ensure the primer is cured before overcoating.
Farooq MD of RasGas on
February 12, 2013:
Dipesh Vyas of CARBOLINE on
February 15, 2013:
It is recommended to maintain humidity by sprinkling /spraying or misting of water but not by soaking /immersing after a minimum of 2 hrs of cure ( 23 C), and check after every 3-4 hours to determine if required step can be repeated . It is as good as cement in the way it drinks water till it becomes hard rock. IOZ curing is also more or less similar.
willem van Gent of corrcon Marine on
February 10, 2013:
I have experience on hatch covers in Korea where we use water spray in the winter time when the humidity is very low on IOZ primer after spray application with a good result.

Trend Alert: Tapestry
There are many reasons a New York-couple might want to move from the brownstone-lined streets of the Upper West Side to the funkier Flatiron district downtown, where converted industrial buildings rise above bustling shopping emporiums. To wit: A more central location. A profusion of loft spaces. Proximity to stylish Fifth Avenue.
It is the rare couple, however, that will move in pursuit of fresh vegetables.
For two men who purchased a floor-through apartment in the neighborhood seven years ago, a primary attraction was the year-round cornucopia at the nearby Union Square Greenmarket. One half of the pair is a high-profile figure in the art world, with access to some of the most important private collections around the globe. The other is a finance lawyer who has studied architecture and historic preservation, and who shares his partner's sophisticated tastes in art and design. Is it any surprise that they were seduced by the painterly pigments of tri-star strawberries, bicolor corn, and Tuscan kale only a few steps from their door?
Located on an upper floor of a former manufacturing building, the apartment was a structural blank canvas — a 30-by-85-foot loft with no interior columns — that proved an ideal backdrop for possessions. To help configure the space, the pair called upon their longtime friend Len Morgan, an architect and the co-owner of Cove Landing, a New York City antiques shop with a devoted following. (The store now operates by appointment and online.) "Completely open can be limiting," Morgan explains. "You need corners where you can sit on a rainy day."
To that end, the trio divided the apartment into north (the living and dining areas) and south (a sun-drenched bedroom and a plant-filled solarium) by building two floating parallel cabinets in the center of the space. They cannily hide the couple's wardrobe and provide art storage. "It's one unified space," says Morgan. "Anything that might be visually intrusive is off to the side." Evidence of the couple's discerning eye for color, pattern, and texture can be found in their intelligent and subtle collection of furnishings and art. No Warhols here, no Damien Hirsts. The American Expressionist Marsden Hartley might be the most famous name present. And there's not a Mies van der Rohe daybed in sight. Instead the hosts will proudly point out an elegantly asymmetrical walnut headboard by the underappreciated International Style architect William Lescaze.
Over the years, the homeowners have amassed a highly eclectic assortment of pieces, drawing from auction houses and galleries, as well as from Cove Landing's own stock of European antiques. "They have very definite ideas about what they're interested in and what they collect," Morgan says. "It was more a question of pulling their interests together than pulling things out of thin air and asking, What do you think of this?"
The couple showed a greater-than-the-average-client's interest in the process. The lawyer built a complete 1:8 scale model of the apartment, with miniature reproductions of furniture and artworks. His interest in English country homes influenced the open kitchen's deep-gray palette, inspired by a Scottish house he once visited. For the dining area they chose a long oak refectory table — so long that it had to be hoisted through the window.

Sister M. Digna Chirpich
SYLVANIA, Ohio – Funeral services for Sister M. Digna Chirpich, 89, of Sylvania, Ohio, formerly of this area, were held Monday, Feb. 4, 2013, at Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel at the Motherhouse of the Sisters of St. Francis, Sylvania, Ohio, that included visitation throughout the day. Interment was in Porta Coeli Cemetery on the campus of the Sisters.
There was a Welcoming for Sister Digna in Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel at the Motherhouse of the Sisters of St. Francis in Sylvania on Sunday, Feb. 3.
Sister M. Digna Chirpich entered life on March 1, 1923, and entered eternal life on Jan. 29, 2013. The daughter of Thomas and Mary Chirpich was born in Wells, Minn., and came to Sylvania, Ohio, to become a Sister of St. Francis in September 1942, professing her first vows in August 1945 and her final vows in August 1948.
Her 68 years of service to God's people were spent primarily in elementary education as a teacher. She taught in schools in Hamtramck and Wyandotte, Mich.; Minneapolis and Fairmont, Minn.; and Toledo and Walbridge, Ohio. She was a religion teacher in Mt. Clemens, Mich., a librarian in Fairmont, Minn., and did tutoring in schools in Toledo and Sylvania, Ohio, and in Minneapolis, Minn.
Sister Digna engaged in a special ministry when she cared for her sister, Joanna Izen, in Fairmont, Minn., until her death in 1991.
Her last tutoring ministry was at the Franciscan Academy of Lourdes University, where she and her sister, Sister Philothea, joyfully helped many children in more than their academics. They were a loving presence to the children and are remembered with great fondness and appreciation by the children, teachers and staff at the Academy.
Sister Digna was well-prepared for her teaching ministry, having received a B.A. in Education from Mary Manse College in Toledo, Ohio, and a M.A. in Education and Cognate Reading from St. Thomas College in St. Paul, Minn.
Sister Digna will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Though slight in body, she had a strong will and when she wanted something to happen, she would find others who could help her achieve her goals. She did so with a gracious but very convincing manner.
The Sisters who resided with her at Rosary Care Center accompanied her in her last days with prayerful support.
Her dear sister, Sister Philothea, will miss her but has many happy and endearing memories of their special time together since retiring to Sylvania in 2006.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Sisters of St. Francis, Sylvania, Ohio.
Arrangements by Thomas I.Wisniewski Funeral Home, Toledo, Ohio.

The shores of Florida are brimming with diversity. As you crawl your way north along I-95, each town, village and city carries its own charm. Big and bold, Jacksonville is no different. Named after Old Hickory, the U.S.'s largest city (in terms of area) with a history that is thousands of years deep is teeming with originality and hidden gems.
Atlantic Beach, a quaint beach town stretching along one of the prettiest shorelines in the state, is a haven for tanned and bikini-clad bodies, beach cruisers and tropically inspired cocktails. Rising like a luxe respite in the midst of the tourist scene, One Ocean Resort Hotel & Spa, part of Remington's Gallery collection of luxury resorts, puts a modernist twist on the luxury beach resort. Formerly the Sea Turtle Inn, an Atlantic Beach fixture since the 1970s, One Ocean underwent a $24 million restoration in 2007, creating one of the most visually striking resorts in the state.
The interior is a nod to the surroundings; the sea is represented with rolling, curving walls that carry through from the surging surf and undulating dunes. Accents of deep blues, aquas, sea foam greens and taupes play a recurring theme, reinforcing the color palette of the view beyond.
The modernist aesthetic breaks from the opulence so often seen in beach resorts. Upon entering, guests are greeted not with museum quality stuffiness but rather with an open and airy energy. The docent service is a seamless check-in, where guests are greeted by name as a docent escorts them from their car to a plush room, sidestepping the front desk and thus making the experience more personal.
The Spa at One Ocean, Jacksonville's only full-service oceanfront spa, is a true treat. Against a backdrop of sea-inspired décor, the spa's treatment menu is comprehensive and vast. Packages range from private indulgences to group and couple therapies; there is even a package for the guys with a sports massage and men's facial. For those looking for a unique One Ocean treatment, the Seashell Massage puts a maritime twist on the classic warm stone massage: smooth, heated sea shells are utilized to ease muscle tension. The Asian Bamboo Massage couples percussive movements utilizing the bamboo with the soothing power of heat, as warmed bamboo sticks of varied widths and diameters are incorporated into the massage.
During my visit to One Ocean, the culinary talents of Azuréa's executive chef Ted Peters and executive pastry chef Nancy Slatsky were on display for an absolutely delicious Friends of James Beard Foundation benefit dinner. Peters was invited to cook for the James Beard House in 2010, an honor reserved for just a select few in the industry. He created a four-course, sea-themed meal with the help of Slatsky on dessert, showcasing the culinary talents of North Florida. To celebrate, James Beard Foundation teamed with Azuréa, as well as chef Tom Gray of Bistro Aix, chef Matthew Medure of Matthew's and Brian Siebenschuh of Orsay, to create an evening of culinary decadence that ranged from gastronomic complexity to comfort food with a modern twist.
Azuréa is a culinary delight in its own right. The sleek and fashionable setting of the restaurant is only matched by the flavors. The melding of flavors from the Caribbean, the Americas and Europe merge for an urbane and inventive menu that changes as often as the seasons. For the adventurous diner who wants to test the culinary team's mettle, the Adventurous Palate is an apt and delicious culinary excursion. Peters and his team will personally customize a five- or seven-course meal, with wine pairings, to the liking of each diner. Before or after dinner, the Azuréa Lounge beckons. It is something straight out of Vegas, with bold colors, stylized décor and modern sentiments.
For those looking to bring the family, One Ocean has some pretty great amenities and programs to keep the kiddies occupied, even if the design and luxe surroundings of the resort may be lost on the tot who would rather play in the pool or beach. The Sea Turtle Kids Club, a marine biology-based camp, keeps kids busy with sandcastle building with a professional artist, surf lessons and water sports, movies, photography lessons, cooking classes and much more, giving mom and dad a little bit of alone time to enjoy the resort.
One Ocean is doing luxury on its own terms, and in doing so, helping transform the greater Jacksonville area into a destination not to be missed.

12 Top Trail-Running Clubs - Page 2
2. Crooked River Trail Runners
Cuyahoga Valley, OH
Photo submitted by Luke Baum
The Crooked River Trail Runners (CRTR) meet every Thursday evening for a five-mile run in Ohio's only National Park, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, where waterfall sightings, creek crossings and rock scrambles abound. The group boasts nearly 2000 members on Facebook and runs rain or shine (or snow!), even through northern Ohio's brutally cold winters. Its runners range in age from 10 to 72 years old.
Although Thursdays are the only official group-run days, many members run together on other days of the week, too—and several annual themed runs, including an Easter egg run and Halloween costume run, keep the club stoked year round. A newly minted "club house" offers a space for club members to hang out after the runs and celebrate birthdays or other occasions together, complete with the occasional muddy-shoe-themed cake.
CRTR doesn't do intense workouts; it's the group's casual atmosphere that keeps runners coming back to the trails week after week. Their sponsor, Western Reserve Racing, puts on about a dozen short and long trail races throughout Ohio every year, including the iconic Burning River 100.
Member Rave: "I have lived in Cleveland for many years and have been all over, but I never realized the extensive trail system we have here in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I do now, and it is remarkable ... some of the best in the country." –Luke Baum
3. Coyote Running
Los Angeles, CA
Photo submitted by Steven Selikoff
Los Angeles is more known for its concrete jungle of 18-lane highways and overpasses than for its opportunities for outdoor recreation—but urban trail enthusiasts need not despair. Runner Andy Pearson should know; he moved from Boulder, Colorado, to Los Angeles last August and worried he'd never run trails again—until he discovered "the Coyotes."
Every Thursday morning at 6 a.m., 50-70 runners come together to enjoy the trails of Southern California's finest wilderness areas. The club, established by coaches Jimmy Dean and Kate Martini Freeman, boasts an active, tightly-knit community of over 1000 passionate trail runners who train, race, and volunteer together, often pacing strangers at ultras or cheering raucously on race sideline. "Possibly overly loud," says member Marshall Howland, "the Coyotes can be heard miles before any aid station they happen to be volunteering at." The group is free, but a small, paying contingent of runners receives more intense, race-specific coaching.
An upcoming clinic called Trail Pandemonium offers runners personalized coaching, weekend long run, road and trail workouts, a personalized training schedule, weekend long runs, social events, team dinners and "endless high fives."
Member Rave: "The motto is, 'If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong'. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this group; its been 2+ years and I keep coming back for more." –William Sipes

Is that necessarily true? Well, I guess for me it's not. Weekends for me are spent doing something I like, doing something that I don't get to do on a normal day because I don't have time and just relaxing. Okay, maybe for some it's a bit pointless, but for me, it's the ultimate.
To make you have more fun and colorful weekend, I'm soo happy to share with you the new product of Mis Cosas – the Foldable Weekenders.
The Mis Cosas Team came up with a foldable weekender because they saw the need of people having more compact and useful items in their day-to-day living. This January, they have release their newest product – the Mis Cosas Foldable Weekenders which caters to people who are always on the go but have very little space in their home. This particular product is being sold through their website: http://miscosasonline.com or through their multiply site: http://miscosas888.multiply.com.
Weekender Bags are usually very large and very hard to store. However, each and every individual at one point in their life, find a need for it. It may be that weekend getaway, or a 3-day/2-night retreat or as simple as a 3-hour gym workout. Now, Mis Cosas has came up with a perfect solution by offering the market a huge bag that folds into a 7 x 9" pouch for easy storage.
Truly, this bag comes in a small package but when unfolded, a 19 x 6 x 16″ ( L x W x H) bag unfolds. It is also easy to carry with a 11" handle drop which allows you to carry it comfortably over your shoulders. For more storage, the bag also features 2 outer pockets with zippers and 1 inner pocket with zipper which allows you to keep small items such as car keys or hair ties. This bag also comes in a waterproof nylon material which is the same material that as the waterproof Mis Cosas Crayon Carry Alls that was released last year. This simply means that aside from the fact that it is waterproof, it also can carry very heavy load.
To cater to the different tastes and preferences of the market, it comes in 8 different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray and pink. For those among you who worry about the bag being dirty, don't fret because the materials is washable. You can just wash it everytime you feel that it's not in its best condition anymore.
Each bag is being sold at PHP 1,200 at the Mis Cosas Website (http://miscosasonline.com) or through the Mis Cosas Multiply site (http://miscosas888.multiply.com). For more information or orders, you can also contact the Mis Cosas Team directly through their email address (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Here are the other pictures of the other colors:

A walk downtownPosted Friday, April 27, 2012, at 4:49 PM
After almost recouping from a bout of illness, which I am not used to, I made a decision to go to the shop early one morning and take a "stroll" through town. I stress the word stroll, because I most certainly am not walking at this point.
Of course, I have never been a runner. Mom has always said that I run in one spot. I suppose that is why I was able to completely wear out at least one treadmill.
At any rate, after being so lethargic for so long, and I hate to admit it, but I still am, I decided to get back into a walking routine. I chose not to do a long stroll in the beginning. I made approximately less than a fourth of a mile around town the first and second days. If you saw me you probably would say it was more like a hobble than a stroll.
The first day I stopped and visited with my friend Phyllis at M J's. I always enjoy spending time talking with her, plus, I needed a rest stop. Then it was on through the downtown area and back to the shop.
The second day I barely got out the door and headed around the building when it dawned on me, and I am embarrased to admit this, but I had not been to the depot since its renovation was completed. I walked in and Janice Asberry greeted me. Since I didn't know her, I introduced myself to her and explained my mission. I also asked her not to tell that I had not been there. Now, there I go telling on myself.
Janice showed me around the depot very proudly and shared stories about the artifacts on display. One of the tables came from the old Citizen's Bank and as soon as she told me from whence it came, I recognized it. I told her I remember using it in my younger days and I'm sure many of you did also.
I would like to take the opportunity to encourage those of you who have not visited the depot to do so. I believe you will find it a most rewarding visit.
Janice made my day when she told me she always reads Kathleen's Korner.
Thanks Janice.
After my visit at the depot, I rounded the corner of the First Midwest Bank and proceeded on my route. As I passed Mr. Charleys, someone called out to me and asked where I was going. It was my friend Donna West from Weber's.
She mentioned she had seen me, I think she said around the corner from our building, and said to herself, "Ah ha, Kathleen's trying to skip out on work."
Of course she was only teasing, but it did have a nice sound to it.
After we finished talking I continued on. I didn't quite make it to the post office when I decided to cross the street as I was getting a little breathless. You must remember, I haven't done this in forever. I made it to the Metro Art Gallery where I rested on one of Erin's displays. After getting my breath and talking with Erin a few minutes, I finished my mission and stumbled through the door from where I started.
For the next few days I worked at other endeavors as far as excercise goes, like touching my toes. Actuallly, I can do that pretty easily and it feels so good to stretch my back that way. But my main goal is to get back into a walking routine, so I have been walking in less public places such as our back yard. Just walking from our deck to the back of the yard is quite a challenge, but I so enjoy the birds, rabbits and occasionally a fox family. Umm, I wonder if they hide and watch sometimes as I take my "hobble" time.
I can just hear those little critters saying to each other, "Oh, I do hope Kathleen comes out for our show today." When I start my public walks around town again, I hope my downtown friends will welcome me when I stop in to catch my breath and to say hello.They may be like the little critters and watching for me to give them a show with my hobble time.
Until then, see ya somewhere in a korner.

Kathleen is a resident of Dexter. She was born in Indiana, but her parents moved their family back to the Dexter area when she was three. Other than three years she and her husband, Collin, lived in St. Charles, Mo. and ten years in Birmingham, Alabama, she has spent her life in Dexter. As you can tell, Kathleen is a people person and believes in giving credit to whom credit is due. Thus, the reason for her hero/heroine column every other week in Kathleen's Korner. As you can tell, she also like to have fun, most of the time at her own expense. Kathleen (Grubbs) is a 1964 graduate of Dexter High School and invites her friends to her "Korner."

The first European film festival dedicated to the Green Economy 9-23 October 2012 - online & in Brussels
Europe/Brussels -The Green Up Film Festival is about to engage all Europeans in the first ever online documentary film festival.
For 15 days Europeans are just a few clicks away from 26 documentaries on topics relevant to a Green Economy (including sustainable development, rational consumption & fair trade) streaming free of charge from the festival website.
The films and the festival website itself invite viewers to learn and reflect on what they can do to help preserve our environment. Impressions and ideas can be shared online through social media.
"As we can no longer disassociate the economy and the environment in a globalised, growing and changing world, the Green Economy presents itself as an overarching theme that merits promotion," explains Anne-Laure Detilleux, Festival Director.
"Our system has reached its limits and we require solutions for future development that will be more sustainable, more ethical, more socially responsible, and in accordance with the needs of a rapidly growing world population. In our eyes, the Green Economy is THE solution. That's why we have taken this opportunity to familiarize the general public with this now widely accepted economic and governance model," she added.
In order to expand the Green Economy discussion to European governmental institutions as well as individuals, the Green Up Film Festival takes advantage of engaging in Brussels - the so-called European capital. A special Ciné-ONU screening at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel on 10 October marks the start of the festival, with subsequent off-line events at the Palais des Beaux-Arts of Brussels on 21 and 23 October.
The Green Up Film Festival is organised by "Wake Up!" with the support of the GreenUp! Campaign powered by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP - www.unep.org/greenup).

Custom Services
Storage Solutions Manufacturer
The packaging of forty-two shelves each measuring twelve feet in length was cumbersome and time-consuming. Each pallet of shelving required sixty-four Styrofoam blocks to protect the vinyl coating on the wire racks. This amount of packaging material required four cubic feet of storage space. Labor costs were high and storage space was very limited.
Allen Field created a one-of-a-kind pallet-stacking Quad Clip, made exclusively for this client. It allows the customer to package seventy-two shelves in the same amount of space previously used for forty-two. The new stacking hardware solution replaced the four cubic feet of Styrofoam blocks and could be held in a factory worker's hand.
- * The solution was turnkey.
- * The Quad Clip has enabled the customer to ship out more product at a faster rate while protecting the vinyl coating of the shelves.
- * Shipping density doubled.
- * Storage space was reduced by 90%.
- * Labor costs were cut in half.

Skip to comments.Ala. Judge Loses Ten Commandments Appeal
Posted on 07/01/2003 2:47:12 PM PDT by Lurking Libertarian
ATLANTA - A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that a Ten Commandments monument the size of a washing machine must be removed from the Alabama Supreme Court building.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed a ruling by a federal judge who said that the 2 1/2-ton granite monument, placed there by Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, violates the constitutional separation of church and state.
Moore put the monument in the rotunda of the courthouse in the middle of the night two summers ago. The monument features tablets bearing the Ten Commandments and historical quotations about the place of God in law.

The U.S. Marshals are the judiciary cops.
Oh, riiight. I see now. It's so the hoards of illiterate Georgians who come to the Supreme Court can recognize the central hallway as a place of law.
James Madison, principal drafter of the First Amendment, thought that it prohibited Congress from hiring chaplains, and the President from proclaiming Thanksgiving Day. His thoughts on the subject are here.
First, let's take a look at what Jefferson says to do in interpreting the Constitution. Jefferson expresses a strict constructionist attitude in this June 12, 1823 letter to Supreme Court Justice William Johnson:
"On every question of interpretation, carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
In other words, do not do like these judges do and ignore the history of the Constitution and amendments. Instead, examine the history and the feelings at the time of their adoption.
That is what this post is going to do.
An obvious requirement for determining original intent is a study of the original debates on the Bill of Rights. During the debates on the Constitution, religion was a subject that did not come up much, except when the framers discussed Article IV, clause 3, which prohibits religious tests for public office. Religious freedom came up so little that it seems perhaps the delegates to the Constitutional Convention saw the prohibition on religious tests as an adequate restriction on the federal government in regards to religion. At the very least, this belief in the adequacy of the Constitution is the attitude expressed by the Federalist Papers. Alexander Hamilton says, For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Why, for instance, should it be said that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed (Federalist 84)? Edmund Randolph had this to say: No part of the Constitution, even if strictly construed, will justify a conclusion that the general government can take away or impair the freedom of religion" (qtd. in Stokes & Pfeffer 151). This Federalist attitude was one that was pretty common. In fact, James Madison, father of the Bill of Rights, did not consider any amendments necessary, but proposed them to secure votes from anti-Federalists for the Constitution. Anti-Federalists were concerned about the rights of states under a Constitution; they feared their rights would be hurt by a strong national government. Therefore, the states ended up leading the charge for the Bill of Rights. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, New York, Rhode Island, and Virginia all submitted suggested amendments securing personal liberties and the only state that did not address religion was Massachusetts. In any event, eventually, James Madison proposed his Bill of Rights to pacify the Anti-Federalists (Davis 441).
The history of the First Amendments adoption provides important insight into its intent. James Madison introduced the First Amendment in the House of Representatives June 8, 1789, with the original text reading: The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext, infringed (Annals of Congress). By August 15, it read: No religion shall be established by law, nor shall the equal rights of conscience be infringed. Importantly, in the debate that day, Roger Sherman is recorded in the Annals as thinking, since Congress had no power to establish religious establishments, an amendment to forbid it was unnecessary. Such was the belief of both Madison and Jefferson. In a significant announcement, Madison explained the intent of his amendment recorded in the Annals for August 15, as it is recorded that He apprehended the meaning of the words to be, that Congress should not establish a religion, and enforce the legal observation of it by law, nor compel men to worship God in any manner contrary to their conscience. Nothing in this explanation supports a contention that the federal government could not ever pass an act supporting religion in general, even perhaps generally the Christian religion. Madison (who in some cases seems to broadly interpret establish) very narrowly construes the meaning of establish in the amendment.
Of course, this amendment went through further changes. An example is the final draft of the House version in the Annals for August 20, 1789: "Congress shall make no law establishing religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; nor shall the rights of conscience be infringed." A person attempted to alter the amendment in the Senate to stop any state from doing such, not just Congress. However, the motion failed. The final version in the Senate (from the Annals of Congress for September 9) read as follows: "Congress shall make no law establishing articles of faith, or a mode of worship, or prohibiting the free exercise of religion. It should be noted that the Senate beat back attempts to alter the language to prohibit the establishment of a particular denomination (Annals, September 3). One major First Amendment authority believes that rejecting the wording of "denomination" shows that the narrow constructionist view of the establishment clause was rejected (Stokes & Pfeffer 98). However, in the very final Senate version quoted above, the legislators did narrowly construct the amendment contrary to Stokes' claim. Congress is only forbidden from establishing articles of faith and manner of worship, not a broad restriction in any sense of the word. Furthermore, a consistent wording in changes to the First Amendment as offered initially is the banning of acts establishing a religion (an example is the House version), putting in doubt the statement of one author that any law even touching upon something of a religious nature is unconstitutional (Lowell 8).

The court building also contains plaques with quotes from Martin Luther King, Jr. So what does that bode for defendants who are on record as opposed to the fact that that Communist gets his own federal holiday?
He has a good point, but he never claims that he is the authority on the Constitution but that it was the product of many and that the final authority lies in it's ratifiers- which many (most?) of those in the congress that voted for the chaplains were.
There may have been sound reasons for saying that that still don't apply to the current case. Madison defined religion (correctly) as "the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it" - that is, the prayers, the rituals, the hymns, etc. Certainly chaplains and thanksgiving are part of that definition. But merely making a statement regarding the source of moral law is not, in itself, religion. It's simply a view of the way the world works, without which no human institution can properly function.
Anybody who has not bothered to read the actual court decision linked in this article is making a decision to deliberately remain ignorant. That is their perogative, of course, but it doesn't really contribute to informed discussions.
I can envision the year 2400 when Islam or Gaia or some other religion has gained predominance in America. This ruling would protect me and uphold the Constitution.
This country is becoming vastly latino, and catholic while baptists aren't noticing. They are having struggles in Poland right now regarding the rights of those who are non catholic christians because of the super majority catholic faith of people over there.
I wish people would take the long sided view. Demographics should teach people that what exists now, won't necessarily exist later. California, Texas, Arizona, Florida, and New Mexico for example will soon be overwhelmingly Catholic, not protestant. Alot of evangelicals would not want to go to court where a statue of the pope is required to be passed before they enter.
What are you even talking about? Whose ox is being gored right now? Whose rights are being violated?
But there's no need for him to erect it in a government building, and a reasonable reading of the Constitution precludes it.
If Judge Moore can do this, then Judge I.M. Antichrist can put up whatever he wants in the rotunda of his Supreme Court Building.
Nobody wants to look at the flip side.
Constitutionally, he can. Realistically, it's unlikely that Mr. Antichrist will be confirmed as Chief Justice in the first place.
Have you read the actual opinion?
Tell me the full facts. While law, even constitutional law, is about principles, facts play a very important role.
Read the opinion here, and you'll see what role they played.
But, as a very preliminary response to your question, I don't think the Constitution requires that.
I'm not sure what facts you need, the question is a simple one.
Is it your understanding that the first amendment prohibits religious displays on public property?
Court decisions didn't force them to obey, the National Guard did, as I recall.
Question is, would George W. Bush call out the National Guard to force a conservative judge to remove the 10 Commandments??
And how would that look during a re-election bid??
Somebody show me where this is in the Constitution.
Where does it apply to a soveriegn State??
The First Amendment applies to Congress.
You're the one who mentioned a fellow, so you introduced a fact situation. I'm not sure why you're refusing to expound.
And I did give you an answer. Please read my response again.
There is no substantive difference between what appears on our coins and the Decalogue in that rotunda. They both express the exact same worldview.
Think Alabama State Guard and National Guard ... with tanks and attack helicopters and other assorted instruments of mayhem. This Judge is not going to take this laying down.
Think Citizen's militia called out. The Feds had best tread lightly on this. This is the stuff of Lexington and Concord.
It was a minister who, on the eve that battle, told the militia they had a duty to God to fight. Another minister, Muhlenberg, at the end of a sermon, tore off his clerical garb to reveal the uniform of an Officer in the Virginia Militia (his brother, also a minster, was the first Speaker of the House of Representatives).
Go ahead. With your vast knowledge of the state and of Roy Moore's governmental acumen, tell us all how his election would be good for the state.
If a governor ordered the National Guard to come obstruct US marshals on behalf of a freak like Roy Moore? You betcha. Several things would start happening then that would play very well in the rest of the country - and very badly for the religious right.
Go back to school.
Trash. Pathetic, camo clad, militia trash.

Friendly, great service
Needed brakes and front spring. BMW said I needed discs. I didn't. Got pads and 2 springs for half the price BMW quoted. Friendly, informative and efficient. Great service.
Quick clear response, they were able to do the job quickly, very friendly and good service.
Murdo and his team replaced the Timing Belt and Tensioner, the Water Pump and coolant, and gave my car, a Renault Clio Mark 3 of 2006 with 79000 miles on the clock, a thorough health check. Their work was excellent, and I received the car back by 4.30pm the same day. Everything that had been dismantled to do the work (wheel-arch liner etc etc) had been fitted back perfectly and all connecting screws, bolts and push fittings were properly reassembled. The car drives very smoothly, the belt has been correctly tensioned and so rotates free of whine as it should do. The job was perfect, well-deserving of full marks. All parts were Renault, and this is reflected in the very detailed Invoice which lists everything, including the parts numbers and the time taken to do the work. Murdo kindly obtained for me, at no extra cost, the radio code from Renault (which I have never had, but which was necessary owing to the time the battery was disconnected). The comprehensive health check showed a slight degree of play in a lower ball joint, but not sufficient to merit replacement just yet. So, an excellent all-round experience, and Murdo and his team are very friendly people to do business with, and with confidence.
Very pleased with this garage. Would definitely recommend and use again.
Great service, car needed some work but was kept minimal and very well priced.

Something Beautiful Finds New Location
Robbie and Sarah Mills have traveled the world fulfilling their passion of being tattoo and piercing artists.
From Copenhagen, Denmark, which is where they met and Sarah's native land, to the state of Oregon, which is Robbie's home state, the two have worked together developing their skills.
Now, the couple has traveled cross-county to their new home here in Jamestown. Something Beautiful Tattoo & Piercing is their business, which has a new location at 1690 Foote Ave. The tattoo and piercing studio has around 2,000 square feet and plenty of space for parking.
"I love it. It is super big," Sarah said. "We've been getting a lot of positive feedback (about the new location)."
Robbie has been tattooing for around five years. He has a wide range of styles, but prefers realistic, old school, traditional and neo-traditional, and is also strong in black and grey. He also enjoys painting and drawing.
Sarah has been body piercing for about eight years and has traveled the world piercing, working with experts in her field learning their techniques. She is committed to her craft, which is why she attends classes and seminars to improve her skills.
"We're so lucky to have combined our hobbies with our jobs," she said. "We like making people feel more beautiful."
Sarah said tattoos and piercings usually represent something significant to each client. She said learning about the client's life experience that has led them to a new tattoo or piercing makes each session unique.
"We like being a part of that. Being able to express what they are feeling," she said. "We understand how important it is to them."
All artists working in the studio are certified and licensed. Certificates and licenses are visible for customer convenience. Equipment used for tattooing, like needles, tubes and ink cups, are of a disposable nature and are sterilized and used one time. The studio has an autoclave so non-disposable equipment is sterilized. All piercing equipment, like needles, gauze and jewelry, used in fresh piercings is sterilized. All basic jewelry used in fresh piercings are of titanium alloy. The studio meets all standards required by the Chautauqua County Health Department. Something Beautiful Tattoo & Piercing has both female and male piercers, so clients have an option depending on the location of the body piercing.
Sarah said the studio has four tattoo artists and two guest artists. Guest artists include Adam Lunt from the west coast and Rylee, whose style is old school and new traditional. For piercings, the business uses Anatometal and NeoMetal jewelry. The business also offers lifetime replacement jewelry settings.
The studio has free arcade games in the waiting room. The artists also do paintings – reprints and original works – and are part of the Active Artists Alliance.
Something Beautiful Tattoo & Piercing is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. For more information or to make an appointment, call 708-6365. Walk-ins are welcome.

So I just found out that they're releasing a new documentary and album for one of my all time favorite musicians, Rory Gallagher, on 14th this month. I grew up listening to his solo stuff as well as his band stuff with Taste. His music is the main reason I'm such a huge fan of blues and blues rock. It's tragic that he's no longer with us, but I'm glad he's still being remembered today. I'm really excited for these releases.
I'm definitely going to preorder both the documentary http://amzn.to/roryG2dvd and the album http://amzn.to/rorygCD01 on amazon.

Seized collies available for adoption
JAMESTOWN – A Busti resident plead guilty on Jan. 17 to animal cruelty following an investigation by the Chautauqua County Human Society.
Maureen Ryan, of Busti, when faced with 31 counts of animal cruelty, accepted a guilty plea to a single count of animal cruelty. As a result, Ryan was ordered to surrender 26 collies to the Chautauqua County Humane Society and has been prohibited from breeding any animals for a one-year period. Ryan also consented to allow six unannounced inspections at her residence by the Lakewood-Busti Police over a one-year period. These inspections will be used to confirm that proper conditions and sustenance are being provided to the five dogs that were returned to her possession following the plea agreement. She is also prohibited from acquiring any additional animals for one year.
Ryan's residence was visited by a Chautauqua County Humane Society Investigator in December following complaints that numerous dogs were being housed there in poor conditions.
As a result of the visit, Ryan elected to surrender four of the animals to the Chautauqua County Humane Society. A medical exam revealed that they were all underweight and suffering from other medical concerns.
Based on this evidence a search warrant was issued to seize the remaining 31 dogs that were housed in cages in the basement of Ryan's residence.
"We've had the collies since December 20th, so they've gained weight, in fact a couple of the dogs had gained as much as 14 pounds," said Jeff Lubi, Chautauqua County Humane Society executive director. "There was nothing really wrong medically, but there was a lot of grooming that was required. They were matted in feces and urine, but they're doing fine now. They were great dogs so it's time to develop matches with some loving homes."
The collies have been cleared for general adoption and can be found at the Strunk Road Adoption Center, Jamestown which is open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. and Tuesday and Friday from 2-6 p.m.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (209 votes).
In short: Far too much moan aboutIn full: I am positive person.Organisation for 2014 was appalling. It took me longer to leave Reading than running it. Expensive race and I will not be going back.Date of review: March 9, 2014
In short: Best if you have local relatives?In full: We did this last year, the brother-in-law and I. We both came back to see if we could do a PB without the vile weather and we both did! He did a brilliant 1.53.53 and I did my own fastest ever half. I even beat the road closures.The people of Reading were uniformly wonderful (again) incl all the bands and churches etc who were out as well. Thanks also to all the lovely friendly runners who cheered us up with banter and or encouragement at the points where each one of us slowed, wondered if we were going to be OK etc. There were several sets of people in fancy dress in our start wave and I even got a hug on the finish line from one lovely young lady in a pink tutu.We had our family (with our kit, hot drinks, recovery shakes and snacks) waiting for us, so the short walk back to the red car park was not a problem (it had already opened). We were bemused by the fact that we were not allowed to turn right onto the A33 at that point (it is on the roundabout) and were forced to go some way towards town with everyone else rather than towards the M4. That cannot have helped the congestion and we are sure this did not happen last year. I was in pink zone and the phased start resulted in us going so fast we were strung outTo get to the start pens we had to go round with everyone else to the front of the start and then along past all the other pens. As expected, the back route in had flooded. As a non-local I had been watching the flood websites for ages but it wasn't until the morning of the race that there was any info that we had to walk in that way as our published route was cut off. Bearing in mind how much water there still was round there I am surprised that info did not make it into the last 2 emails from the race team.It was never going to drain. I also wonder if it was this that caused the delay at the start while they got everyone round?Cannot comment on baggage as did not have to use it but clearly unacceptable to have to queue in wind and rain. The great advantage of the stadium is standing underneath whilst using loos but I see some people were told they could not? Hope this is sorted out for next year as I think it will an effect on the numbers who come back. Date of review: March 7, 2014
Date of review: March 7, 2014
In short: Great atmosphere with added PB potential Date of review: March 6, 2014
In short: Fab raceIn full: 1st time at Reading and won't be the last, loved everything apart from the mile down the dual carriageway, but can't be helped. Start, toilets, course, drinks, finish, crowds, medals, goodybags, text results were all great.Date of review: March 6, 2014
In short: Some good and some not soIn full: The GoodPlenty of toilets at start including ones in my start pen(great idea)Bag drop off was very quickWaved start worked for meLiked the plastic drinks bags and sports drinksGreat support on the courseStadium finishGood medalThe not soBag collection, went horribly wrong and am sure it could have been saved but I was n'tBuses, should have realised from the journey to the stadium that it was not going to be good and unfortunately was proved rightDate of review: March 6, 2014
In short: The buses!In full: I was one of the slower runners at 2:37 and spent some time having a drink after the race so when i came out to get a bus ended up waiting an hour, missed the next (hourly) train and got to London by 5!The race itself was good and the crowd was great but it was unacceptable to leave runners standing around in the (by then) rain and cold. Date of review: March 5, 2014
In short: As always, excellentIn full: This will always be one of my favourites as it is where I ran my first HM. Never disappoints.Date of review: March 5, 2014
In short: Definitely be back, great race.Date of review: March 5, 2014
In short: I enjoyed the race itself, but bag collection was a fiasco.In full: I am seriously considering never running this again. The organisation of the bag collection was dreadful. The queue for race numbers 1 to 5000 was very long, it took about an hour for me to get my bag by which time I was shivering like mad.Unless there is some public announcement and apology from the organisors, with a statement of how this will be improved, I will not run this race again.Date of review: March 5, 2014

not good at all
Posted by Reviewer2218574 on Feb 02, 2013
This gave me severe constipation, I am assuming it is the gentian because I am ok with the other ingredients. I previously used another brand and thought I'd be ok with Dr's Best because it's cheaper, now I have 2x120 bottles to give away. I think I'll go back to the other brand.
unpleasant side effects not experienced with other brands
Posted by 4618918372980595131 on Jul 05, 2015
I've used other HCL supplements successfully before, including the Now Foods HCL from iHerb. This Doctor's Best version, however, reliably gives me stomach cramps and heartburn. I'll be switching to another brand.
How it worked for me
Posted by 5669812980843473050 on Jul 01, 2013
I got this as I take losec for indigestion and wanted to try a natural remedy. For me it did not do what I wanted but it someone else it might.
Too strong.
Posted by Reviewer2833510 on Aug 17, 2009
Too strong for me. I could feel a burning sensation after taking it. Capsules so I could not cut it in half. Will not buy again
kind of weak
Posted by Reviewer1052411 on Mar 31, 2011
These didn't work for me at all. I had to take 3 with a normal meal. I like the Now brand Betaine Hcl much better, only have to take two for a large meal.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Jan. 11, 2008)
-- The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China with a 3-0 (25-20, 25-19, 25-20) victory over Puerto Rico on Friday at the 2008 NORCECA Continental Olympic Qualifying Championship in Caguas, Puerto Rico. The U.S. Men won the tournament with a 5-0 record and without dropping a set. Puerto Rico finished second with a 4-2 record. Cuba defeated Canada (25-23, 25-23, 24-26, 25-23) to finish third.
A crowd estimated at 6,500 packed Hector Sola Bezares Coliseum to see the match. U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) started 6-foot-9 Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) in the front row at outside hitter in place of usual starter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) and the move paid off as Rooney finished the match with 16 points on 15 kills and one block.
"I feel relieved and excited," McCutcheon said. "The team rose to the occasion and we executed in all the aspects of the game. So many guys performed at their highest level and with a lot of energy."
David Lee (Alpine, Calif.), Riley Salmon (League City, Texas) and Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i) each had 10 points. Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) finished with a match-high five blocks, more than the entire Puerto Rican team could muster. Team USA out-blocked Puerto Rico 13-4. Puerto Rico's prolific opposite Hector Soto was held to just 16 points, and no other Puerto Rican player scored in double digits.
"They played too well, we got overmatched since early in the match,"s aid Puerto Rico Head Coach Carlos Cardona." We were left without solutions and the size of the team they used today somewhat surprised us."
McCutcheon started Rooney and Salmon at outside hitter, Lee and Millar at middle blocker, Stanley at opposite and Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) at libero. Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) entered the match to serve and Priddy substituted in the back row for Rooney.
Team USA led the first set 8-5 at the first technical timeout and 16-13 at the second. The U.S. Men used solid receptions to set up quick attacks down the middle that Puerto Rico could not stop. The U.S. Men held a 16-13 lead at the second technical timeout of the second set, relying on clutch blocking by Lee and Millar. With the United States leading 18-14, Puerto Rico rallied behind the serving of Soto to make the score 18-17. But the United States took a timeout and Millar responded with a kill to bring the U.S. lead back to two. Puerto Rico did not challenge again. The U.S. Men held an 8-4 lead at the first TTO of the third set and increased it to 16-9 at the second. Team USA reached match point at 24-18, but Puerto Rico held off the loss by scoring two points before Salmon closed the match with a kill.
"We put tremendous pressure on the Puerto Rican team," said U.S. team captain Tom Hoff. "Our staff did a great job and we did all they wanted. Our team got better and better with the tournament and we reserved our best for the last match."
The U.S. Men are the fifth team to qualify for the 12-team field at the Olympics. The others are China as the host country, Venezuela, which won the South American zone qualifier and Brazil, Bulgaria and Russia, which all qualified at the 2007 World Cup. The field will be half filled later this weekend when the European zone qualifier finishes. Puerto Rico and Cuba, as the second- and third-place NORCECA finishers, will have the opportunity to compete at one last Olympic qualifier.

I saw this was on TCM the other night, so I recorded it and watched it tonight.
The movie is just a simple story of a difficult period in a relatively normal family's life after a tragic loss, and what really carries it is the acting. Robert Redford (in his directorial debut) got some great performances out of his cast, and won the Oscar for Best Director for this movie that won Best Picture.
Both Timothy Hutton and Judd Hirsch were nominated for Best Supporting Actor, with Hutton winning. Mary Tyler Moore was nominated for Best Actress. Entertainment Weekly says that one of the biggest Oscar snubs of all time was the failure of the academy to nominate Donald Sutherland for Best Actor.
This isn't a movie that I'm in any hurry to watch again, because it is just so damn emotionally difficult, but I'm glad I saw it.
