|Ask a question about this product
Mobilith SHC Series greases are supreme performance products designed for a wide variety of applications at extremes of temperature. They combine the unique features of synthetic base fluids with those of a high quality lithium complex thickener. The wax-free nature of synthetic fluids and the low coefficient of traction (compared with mineral oils), provide excellent low temperature pumpability and very low starting and running torque. These products offer the potential for energy savings and can reduce operating temperatures in the load zone of spherical roller and ball bearings. The lithium complex thickener contributes excellent adhesion, structural stability and resistance to water. The greases have a high level of chemical stability and are formulated with special additive combinations to provide excellent protection against wear, rust and corrosion at high and low temperatures. Mobilith SHC Series greases are available in seven grades, varying in base oil viscosity from ISO VG 100 to 1500 and in NLGI grade from 2 to 00.
Mobilith SHC Series greases have become the products of choice for many users, in many industries worldwide. Their reputation is based on their exceptional quality, reliability, versatility and the performance benefits they deliver.
Features and Benefits
The Mobil SHC brand of oils and greases are recognized and appreciated around the world for their innovation and outstanding performance. The Mobilith SHC series symbolizes ExxonMobil's continued commitment to using advanced technology to provide outstanding products. A key factor in the development of the Mobilith SHC Series were the close contacts between our scientists and application specialists with key Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to ensure that our product offerings would provide exceptional performance in the continually evolving industrial equipment designs.
Our work with equipment builders has helped confirm the results from our own laboratory tests showing the exceptional performance of the Mobilith SHC Series lubricants. These benefits include longer grease life, enhanced bearing protection and bearing life, wide temperature range of application, and the potential for improved mechanical efficiency and energy savings.
To combat high thermal exposure of the oil our product formulation scientists chose proprietary synthetic base oils for Mobilith SHC Series oils because of their exceptional thermal/oxidative resistance potential. Our scientists developed a state-of-the-art lithium complex thickener technology and used specific additives to enhance the performance of each grade of the Mobilith SHC Series product family. The Mobilith SHC Series greases offer the following features and benefits:
Application Considerations: While Mobilith SHC Series greases are compatible with most mineral oil based products, admixture may detract from their performance. Consequently it is recommended that before changing a system to one of the Mobilith SHC Series, it should be thoroughly cleaned out to achieve the maximum performance benefits. While the Mobilith SHC Series greases share many performance benefits, their applications are best described in terms of each product grade:

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 29 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jsturdy Men's X Hot Irons A very forgiving set. I was having some trouble with bad slices with my old iron set. The X Hot Irons have straighten up my game. The irons go where I want them to go. January 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JoeT22 Great Set These Callaway X hot irons are worth the $400.00 sale price. They feel, hit and look great. Overall, very pleased with my purchase. Only complaint is the chrome looking finish scratches easily. May 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tim Callaway X hot I have played Calloway irons for a number of years, this is why I looked at the X Hot irons. Dicks analyzed my swing and we settled on a shaft and loft and lie. They were very professional and helpful in helping me choose the X hot irons. I would recommend Dicks and Calloway irons very strongly. May 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Senior Duffer Solid Performer In a single round I felt as if these were custom-built for me. Balance. weight, appearance, mild offset and feel were evident in a few strokes. It will take a few more rounds to dial in distance as the lofts are stronger than the x-18s these replaced. One star deduction attributed to scratches on face of 7 iron of this on-line purchase. April 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Don Excellent club for anyone wanting to improve a few shots a round!!! Clubs are excellent for longer and easier work in the fairways and green approaches. Slightly forgiving much improving for the average golfer. March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bill66 Great product and great price These irons are very well designed. Smoother feel that the Rocketblades. I added 15 yards to every shot and notice a much straighter flight on minor mis-hits. I also ordered the 3 iron instead of buying the hybrids. August 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by docpops Xhot irons definitely more forgiving; mis hits still travel straight and long. does add distance; 8 irons travel farther than 6 irons from old set. clubs are longer than my older clubs, and I have to stand more upright for my swing June 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bogeyman Awesome technology!! I have a good set of forged irons but have been struggling with ball contact. The pro at Dick's told me that the X-hots are a game improvement iron that is easy to hit. He was right! I cannot explain it but I am hitting these right in the sweet spot! They are also very long for a senior golfer like myself. I am back out and beyond yardages that I hit in my forties with a set of regular shafts. More surprising than the distance is the ball flight. Even with the stronger settings the bottom weighting gets the balls up like my previous clubs. They feel good and the ball seems to jump off the face. I've played one round and my score actually suffered because I was flying past my old yardages. Flying the ball 10 yards over a 180 yd pin on a down hill par 3 with a six iron was not what I expected at 63 years old. Kudos to Callaway!! July 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by racesail satisfied new owner The irons loft are lower than what they replaced and therefore carry further. I am pleased with the swing feel and enjoy the forgiving large sweet spot. I am disappointed with the durability of the chrome Finnish it immediately has shown scrapes from the grass. February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by James1233333 THE BOMB IRONS OF THE YEAR These irons have great feel they are filthy long they are accurate! These have it all i can ever work the ball both ways my ball flights gone way up I used to hit my 7 iron 140 yards now I'm hitting 160-170 yards I'm 13 years old I got these irons for Christmas I usually shoot +5- + 10 on 9 holes from the front tees I played this week and played the set of tees back and shot +4 all i can say is if you get these you WILL get every penny worth it i would recommend to anyone!!! And WOW THESE THINGS ARE BOOM SHACKING IRONS! December 27, 2013

With the economy reeling, luxury homes are a bit politically incorrect these days. That's especially true in areas of the country that are suffering most, like Las Vegas – the site of the 8,800 square foot 26th New American Home, unveiled last month at a show hosted by the National Association of Home Builders. The New American Home – or New American Mansion, for those of us (ahem) who live in 700-square foot studio apartments – is beautiful and modern, but how green can such a massive residence be?
The mansion is studded with 12,000 khz worth of solar panels – that's an 11 kw system with dual-sided panels. It's also stocked with LED lights and built with insulated concrete and spray-foam insulation with R-values of up to 50. It's outfitted with a natural gas-powered heating and cooling system and a solar water heater. It's got windows with low-emission coatings and mechanized sunshades to shield some of the desert sun. The builders are striving for a yearly gas and electric bill of $2,500 and net-zero electricity usage.
The New American Home was also planned to optimize its input of solar energy and limit water and energy demand. Soil erosion was minimized throughout construction and the builders monitored disturbance on site. The house is surrounded by native plants and drought-tolerant, non-native plants that were planted instead of grass to decrease water use.
On-site recycling? "During construction, a recycling and waste management program included on-site bins for collecting and sorting materials to be recycled off-site," the press release says. Recycled materials? The teak foyer table, elm office floor, and the chaise lounge's velvet and the countertops were all made from reclaimed materials.
The first hint of greenwashing comes from the press release on the International Builder's Show web site, which declares that "the home scored at the gold level under the NAHB National Green Building Program."
The NAHB Green Building Program offers two scoring options – the rigorous ANSI ICC 700-2008 National Green Building Standard and the more lax Model Green Home Building Guidelines. The New American Home was certified under the Guidelines.
The Guidelines are not much different from the rules and regulations in many state and local energy codes, says Tom Coalson, a LEED-AP and VP of commercial and sustainable construction at C&A Companies in Colorado. The Guidelines have the same intent as programs like ENERGY STAR and LEED, but differ greatly in point structure and requirements for verification. He calls it a "developer-friendly approach."
"On many of the 'requirements,' the point structure is heavily in favor of taking the path of least resistance," Coalson said in an email. "As noted in the NAHB Guidelines (Introduction, p. 5): 'A line item will have a positive environmental impact only if it is implemented. Line items that were relatively easy to implement (and therefore more likely to be implemented) were assigned a greater point value than the items that are more difficult to implement.' My experience with the HBA has left me with a different definition of 'easy' than most may have: 'easy' means having little or no cost effect on the bottom line."
Furthermore, the NAHB Guidelines don't require third party verification to claim a rating. The builder can essentially "verify" the information herself, called the "Prescriptive Path." This is in sharp contrast to the bulky, lengthy, expensive verification process required for LEED-H certification.
The builder, Blue Heron, says they chose to use the Guidelines and not pursue LEED-H certification because they wanted to support the home building industry and the NAHB standards rather than LEED-H. Tyler Jones, principal of Blue Heron, said the NAHB guidelines "are equally as relevant, but much more practical for residential construction."
A home that qualified for a rating under the NAHB Guidelines would "most certainly not" qualify for LEED-H certification, Coalson said. The reason is because LEED-H awards points for implementing more difficult solutions, while the Guidelines do the opposite. LEED-H also has some mandatory requirements that aren't listed in the Guidelines, and the lack of verification would doom the home's application.
Carlos Martin of the NAHB led me to believe the opposite. "It depends on the threshold levels for both rating systems, but most of the homes that are getting the Guidelines certification would qualify for LEED-H but just aren't doing that. We do have some homes that are going for the NASCAR effect though (multiple certifications)," he said in an email.
Is It Green?
So is the place green? That would be a lot easier to answer if the home in question was a lot smaller. The NAHB Guidelines award points for building small homes, but don't deduct any for large homes the way the LEED-H program does. If this home were occupied by a mom, a dad, a daughter and a son, they'd have a separate floor and 2,200 square-feet of space each. And how much energy would they use to turn on those LED lights, keep the house cool in the desert sun and heat the outdoor pool?
"The majority of any home's energy requirements are in its heating and cooling system and its heating and demand for domestic hot water," Coalson said. "This home uses natural gas to do just exactly that, in fact about 300 million Btu's of natural gas every year. When converted to kWh of electricity (293 kWh = 1 million Btu) that's about 87,900 kWh of electricity. In my estimation, that's a far cry from an energy-efficient home. When natural gas use in the typical American home is converted to kWh and added to normal electrical usage, that home's annual energy footprint is a little over 27,000 kWh, or about 31% of the New American Home, and that's without the typical home employing any energy saving features!"
A few closing thoughts: The green features of the New American Home show thought and commitment, but this house is just too big to be green. Developers deserve some sympathy, but green building guidelines that don't require verification are an invitation to greenwash.

Unfortunately, I think people will always cut corners as long as they are able to.

Recently involved with sunshade projects. All were for public buildings, and rated "green" at least by the architect. The new trend in public buildings incorporates vast areas of glass and/or curtain walls, with added exterior sunshades for climate control. The most hideous was the North Dakota National Guard Building, with a shatter proof glass curtain wall, and three tiers of sunshades that cost in excess of 180k. But, even if the sunshades were capable of shading enough of the interior, (but didn't due to the sunshade's uniform blade angle, uniform projection length ) the orientation of the convex shaped cutain wall was not even full south. These are our tax dollars at work, making a climate look green. There's a few other federal buildings on the way with shades too, embassies in fact. What is not green? To start, why put large glass areas in to begin with? Well, it makes a nice environment for the workers. But most often these shades are not above workers offices but are decorative in nature. Second, how can the pollution generated from the production of several tons of aluminum, cut and painted with just regular PPG paint mind you–to go with the building (never did I see a paint or coating designed to reflect heat), and then strung up with a few stainless steel bolts be good green design. Public building are putting in static sunshades, and polluting our environment to make them. For every ton of aluminum, how many pounds of gas go into the air? How much electricity is used? How much coal fired electricity? Aluminum polluters pay their way out of fines, threat to move off-shore and even install their own power plants when they are faced with electric constraints. Aluminum Architectural Sunshades are NOT green building. Is there a process around that considers public LEED funding of such projects?

This house is really cool- it also probably costs about 3 million dollars, even in the depths of the mini-depression.
Most people live places where the sun isn't always shining and where it gets cold in the winter. And they have to live there for cheap. Build a 2000 sq ft green house for a middle class family of four in Minnesota and I'll tell you how to save the planet's environment.
March 12, 2009 at 11:11 pm
This house is most certainly not green. I mean, it's nice that they tried, but I feel like it was only attempted because "green" has become a fad, not a way of life like it should be.
March 12, 2009 at 1:13 pm
My opinion is that people need to rethink what it means to be enviromentally and socially responsible, I don\'t think it can be all about the individual and how much they can acquire. The house is way too big to be considered green – no matter how many state-of-the art systems are in place.

To the white liberal men who are offended by this name: Get over it, and get a life.
One need not spend any time on this issue. I can say, "The 'redskin' label is offensive," and still do everything else I need to do today.
I mean, don't call it ######## just because you disagree. I'm not calling anyone else's opinion ########. I'm 30, and I never even considered that Redskins could be a slur until about ten years ago -- and I'm still not convinced it is one based on the definition that I copied above from the academic paper on slurs.
Your assertion that it wasn't considered a slur before the internet is wrong. The idea that it was not widely considered a slur prior to the year 2000 is wrong. That is clearly, positively, and absolutely wrong. I was alive as a young human being while it was considered a slur by people other than me who imparted the fact that it was a slur to me while talking to me.
Once again, whether you agree or not that it should be considered a slur, the idea that the concept that it was a slur was something made up in the late 90s is false.
Taking back a trade used to be called "Indian-giving"
Uhm. It derives from giving to Indians and talking away from them.
Again, naming your group after somebody is not an insult, it's an honor.
Yes, life really is tough for YOU. YOU have a really hard time of things. In the grand scheme of history, there has never been anyone more hard-done-by than white men in the year 2013.
Again, naming your group after somebody is not an insult, it's an honor.
Next some of you will be telling me, "Squaw isn't an insult! It just means Indian woman!"
And that's why relatively few people care that much about the name one way or another. Outside the context of discussions like this, 99% of the time when anyone hears "Redskins" mentioned, they're likely to think of the Washington football team, and not what John Wayne said about some Indian who scalped one of his friends in a Hollywood movie 50 to 75 years ago. Countless billions of repetitions of "Redskins" in a wholly benign context, with no countering employment of the word in any other way, have had the effect of eradicating the sting of the actual usage in everyday conversation, even if in that same everyday conversation the same word would never be used in any non-football context.
We still have almost every damn Indian seen on TV to have some sort of ridiculous stereotypical spiritual/nature side don't we?
Heck, "Senators" is currently vacant, and would be a cool name.

This program has been mentioned in a couple of threads. I checked it out and tried it out. What is this for? Is it an outliner for the Ecco freaks out there? That's cool, because Ecco's outliner is very cool compared to the standard rtf bullet/numbering scheme. But it also seems to have some Access-like capabilities. I just don't get it. It seems like an odd pairing of features.
So, what kind of applications is this program used for? Why would I use it instead of Access, or Excel, or a regular notetaker, or other outliner software? Actually, there aren't many ecco-like outliners, so I actually understand that part.

The advantages of independent education are many and wide reaching. The class-sizes and exam successes of pupils are well documented, as are the impressive university destinations of many independent school sixth formers. Perhaps less widely known, however, are the benefits of ethos, tradition, culture and pastoral care enjoyed from nursery and pre-prep onwards, which help to turn out well-rounded young individuals prepared for life in our dynamic, and evolving society.
Parents are often spoilt for choice of independent school with a range of options catering for different needs and preferences. On offer are academically selective schools for the more studious pupils, and less selective ones for those who flourish at a different pace. If boarding is an option, parents can choose from schools all around the UK. Day schooling possibilities are plentiful, with many faiths and all manner of academic and extra-curricular interests catered for. Moreover, parents are in the happy position of having an impressive range of both single sex and co-educational schools to choose from.
Unique character
A contradiction to the inevitable generalisations about independent schools is the fact that each is unique, often with a highly individual character born from a particular history and ethos; something that makes choosing independent schools an especially personal matter.
The UK has long been a draw for pupils from other countries. International pupils add a great deal to the culture of many schools and help foster the characteristic global perspective, which is so important in a young person's development. There are also some UK independent schools almost entirely devoted to educating students from overseas. As international appeal has grown so too have the number of international study centres and international schools.
Flexible options
There is variety in boarding options to suit all needs. Parents can choose full boarding, weekly or flexi boarding depending on their child's accommodation needs. Parents based overseas, for example, often need full-boarding, although this is also the first choice for many UK based families due to the close community and excellent education provided by boarding schools. First class care is provided for boarders throughout term time. Outside of term time pupils go home or if this is not a viable option, for example if the family lives overseas they will go to a specially selected guardian family.
Most independent school sixth-form students move on to top universities and colleges. Academic standards are often very high. Independent school examination results for seniors represent some of the very best in the country and a relatively large proportion of independent pupils go on to win places at Oxford, Cambridge and other Russell Group universities. In recent years as much as 25% of the intake of Russell Group Universities, some of the most selective in the country, comprised independent school sixth formers. An amazing achievement given that independent schools educate only 7% of pupils.
Quality of teaching
Teachers are often selected from amongst the best in the country and indeed throughout the world. Many are very well qualified academically with a passion for their subject and the strength of character to nurture intellectual curiosity and critical thinking. Individual attention is a speciality, including the support of special needs if required. A broad curriculum offers opportunity to study subjects such as Ancient Greek, Philosophy and a full range of modern languages. Facilities are invariably impressive, and many schools have their own theatres, concert halls and superb sporting facilities.
Your children can thrive
With the correct advice and research it is imminently possible for parents to choose a school whose 'ethos' – philosophy, values and vision are a perfect match for their child. And, as all but the most contrary would agree, a happy, well placed child will thrive educationally, socially and emotionally at the right school.
Gabbitas offers a full range of services to navigate parents through the minefield of options, decisions and practical considerations, including professional advice, recruitment and school management services. If you feel boarding is an option for your child, parents can choose from schools all around the UK and may also be interested in our guardianship services. Day schooling options are also wide-ranging with many faiths and all manner of academic and extra-curricular interests catered for. Parents can also choose from impressive single sex schools. Of course there is also a wealth of co-educational options to choose from. But whatever your query, Gabbitas are here to help.

Adrian Sutil had a dismal penultimate day in Bahrain as an engine problem kept his lap count down to one...
Adrian Sutil had a dismal penultimate day in Bahrain as an engine problem kept his lap count down to one.
The Sauber driver headed out in the morning's session in the hope of developing his new C33.
But instead he came to a smokey halt on the side of the track, bringing an end to his day's running as - "as a precaution" - Sauber were forced to change the engine.
"This is why we are testing," said a pragmatic Sutil. "Of course I would like to drive as much as possible, but you have to look at the overall picture and the team decided to focus on and get ready for the final day of testing tomorrow.
"I would rather have these issues appearing here at the test than on the first race weekend. It shows how complex the new car and powertrain are and that we are exploring them to the limits.
"Although the garage doors were closed, the engineers and mechanics worked incredibly hard and hopefully we'll have a better day tomorrow."
Having missed Saturday's action, Sutil will now be in the car on Sunday morning before handing it over to team-mate Esteban Gutierrez.
Explaining what went wrong with Sutil's Ferrari engine, head of track engineering Giampaolo Dall'Ara said: "Unfortunately today we have encountered an anomaly on the engine and as a precautionary measure we decided to change it, which meant that we could only manage one lap in the morning.
"However, assembly takes considerably longer and at a certain stage during the afternoon we decided to focus on tomorrow and be ready for the final day of testing. The crew worked tirelessly and hopefully tomorrow we can get on with our programme."

What's So Hot About...
Five Cool Things About Facebook
People either love Facebook or hate Facebook. Whatevs, as the kids say. Close to 500 million people worldwide are registered users, and it's the star of one of the biggest movies of 2010. So, here are 5 reasons why it's pretty cool to be on Facebook – though we have to admit there's something to be said for having an offline personality that's at least as active as your online one.
Here are the reasons in random order:
From its sign up process, to the simple blue and white palette that's consistent across all pages, to the user-friendly navigation and tools, Facebook is all about making it easy for you to do your thing. Build it simple and they will come. Who knew?
Keeping Up With Everyone, Quickly
Facebook is a great way to keep up with friends and family wherever they are. Through status updates, wall postings, direct messages and more, the people close to your heart can be close to you—virtually.
It's better than a class reunion for getting back in touch with old friends. Because your catching up is done in a low-key virtual setting, Facebook is much less awkward than, say, a phone call out of the blue. To search for friends, all you have to do is type their names.
That incredible column you just read on your favorite news site? Post it on your wall and share it with all your Facebook friends. Do the same with family pics, video clips, fav music, your latest work of art, tasty recipes and so on. Posting something as simple as a line or two about the latest big news in your life will certainly be appreciated. Even more fun is checking out what your friends have put up and leaving your own comments.
You're In Control
It's possible you may get friend requests from people you don't know. Not interested in being their friend? You can deny the request without them knowing; it'll just look like you never responded, not that you declined the request. Facebook's privacy settings also let you control who can see your profile and personal information.

"These gift tags are beautiful and arrive exactly as pictured. The design is so delicate; perfect for a baby shower which is what I used them for. The one caveat is that the white lettering is a bit difficult to see as the tag is a very pale pink. If I had to do it over again, I would use black, or a darker color, rather than the standard white. It is still very beautiful hence the five stars."
"I loved everything about this gift tag! Looked great on clear cellophane goodie bags for my son's Star Wars themed birthday party."
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"We are so very happy with this birthday card. My son wanted a Star Wars theme for his birthday and, of course, TP had something for the occasion that was right up his Star Wars alley and right up my elegant and adorable alley. We were thrilled with the cards options - photo/no photo, age, font selection, etc, as it allowed us to create the perfect card for our occasion and as always the card quality was wonderful. Almost every single RSVP we received mentioned what a great invitation we sent out - so it definitely didn't go unnoticed. This invitation was a hit all around; parents, recipients and, most importantly, my son all loved it - definitely a 5 star card!"

Men's tennis has four earn A-Sun All-Conference accolades
Requires Adobe Flash
Tuesday, April 12, 2011
MACON, Ga.
(April 12, 2011) -
With the Atlantic Sun Tournament quickly approaching, the ETSU men's tennis team got good news as four players were named to the A-Sun All-Conference teams, the league office announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Grega Teraz
(Mojstrana, Slovenia), junior
Sander Gille
(Kuringen, Belgium), and sophomore
Jesus Bandres
(Caracas, Venezuela) earned First-Team All-Atlantic Sun honors, while freshman
Roger Ordeig
(Gurb, Spain) earned Second-Team and All-Freshman honors.
Teraz earned his second straight all-conference honor after picking up 14 singles wins on the year, which included a solid 5-2 mark at the No. 1 position. Teraz, who has been ranked as high as No. 93, defeated Jean Anderson of Texas at the fall D'Novo/ITA All-American Championships, while also defeating Robert Hall of Louisville at the ITA Ohio Valley Regional.
Gille, the 2009-10 A-Sun Player of the Year and this season's A-Sun Preseason Player of the Year, battled a bout with Mononucleosis during the season to finish the spring with a 10-7 record and a 6-2 mark in conference play. In addition, Gille finished the spring with an impressive 15-5 mark in doubles play with teammate Bandres. The duo finished with an 8-1 record in A-Sun play, while also earning victories in their last 11 matches.
Bandres led the team with 21 singles victories during the season, including 12 during spring play and an 8-1 mark in A-Sun contests. Bandres earned a No. 73 ranking after a successful fall tournament season. He was named A-Sun Player of the Week twice during the season.
In his first season with the Bucs, Ordeig finished the spring with an impressive 9-2 singles record, including an 8-1 mark in league play. Ordeig played mostly in the No. 6 position for the Bucs, but also earned victories at the No. 2, No. 4, and No. 5 positions.
Campbell's Davy Sum concluded his senior season in impressive fashion with a 20-0 No. 1 singles mark including a 10-0 record in Atlantic Sun Conference play. Sum's efforts earned him unanimous honors as the A-Sun Men's Tennis Player of the Year and his fourth-straight first team honor.
Fernando Guillen became the Camels' second student-athlete to win Freshman of the Year after finishing the season 15-5 and 5-3 at No. 3 singles in league play. Guillen joins Sum, who claimed the same honor in 2008.
UNF head coach Igal Buberman earned the A-Sun Coach of the Year honor after leading the Ospreys to a share of the A-Sun title.
ETSU is the No. 2 seed at this week's Atlantic Sun Tournament in DeLand, Fla. The Bucs will play the winner of the Campbell-Lipscomb match on Friday in the semifinals at 4:30 p.m.

People who take ibuprofen two or more times a week are considerably less likely to develop Parkinson's disease than those who don't take the drug, according to a study published online March 2 in the journal Neurology.
The finding suggests this common over-the-counter painkiller (sold under brand names that include Advil, Motrin and Nuprin) may actually protect the brain against the degeneration that produces the symptoms of Parkinson's, including shaking, muscle stiffness and other difficulties with movement and coordination.
But lead author Xiang Gao, M.D., of Harvard Medical School and School of Public Health, says more research is needed to confirm a cause-and-effect link and to understand how the effect works before doctors should consider recommending ibuprofen to slow or prevent Parkinson's.
Who is at risk?
James Beck, director of research programs at the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, concurs. "I think this is real," he adds. "I think there is something associated with how ibuprofen works in the body which may play a role in Parkinson's. This study acts like a compass that will guide the basic research in the right direction.
"Parkinson's disease involves the death of cells in the midbrain responsible for producing dopamine, a key chemical signaler. Its cause is not well understood, but genetic vulnerability, perhaps coupled with exposure to environmental toxins, seems to play an important role. Parkinson's tends to strike around age 60, and the risk increases with age.
Substantially more men than women develop the disease.
The latest analysis examined health and medical reports from a study group of 98,892 female nurses and a group of 37,305 male health professionals, following them for six years beginning in 2000. Those who took ibuprofen regularly had a 38 percent lower risk of ending up among the 291 patients diagnosed with Parkinson's during that time. The likelihood of getting Parkinson's dropped with increasing weekly doses of ibuprofen.
In addition, the researchers performed a statistical analysis joining their study with six others looking at painkillers like ibuprofen and Parkinson's disease risk. Taking the studies together, the researchers found a slightly smaller but still substantial 27 percent reduction in Parkinson's risk among those taking ibuprofen.
Painkillers and Parkinson's
For years scientists have suspected that painkillers in a class called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), a group that includes ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen, protect the brain from the damage associated with diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's by controlling inflammation. But a 2005 paper by Gao's coinvestigators and a 2009 analysis by another group have suggested the association with Parkinson's does not apply to the entire drug class. This new study sharpens the point; it found no reduction in Parkinson's risk for NSAIDs other than ibuprofen, suggesting, the authors write, "that ibuprofen has potential neuroprotective effects not shared by aspirin or other commonly used analgesics."
The investigators speculate this distinction could be due to ibuprofen's special ability to act on a particular signaling pathway in the brain that involves inflammation, the accumulation of destructive molecules called free radicals, and programmed cell death.

|Burlington Sunset Over Lake Champlain
Photo by John Hughes
We often recommend Burlington to our guests and, if they decide to go, we suggest they stay up there to watch the sunset over Lake Champlain. This photo is a good example of why. It's from my favorite photoblog, Megapickles, which has a new photo every day by St Michael's College professor John Hughes. I highly recommend bookmarking the site and checking it frequently. I've been following it for years and it consistently has great work.

|Rave Reviews at the Weston Playhouse
Jeremy Leiner in "Rent" - photo courtesy of Weston Playhouse, all rights reserved
The rock musical, "Rent" is playing at the Weston Playhouse and receiving rave reviews. Great reviews are common at the Weston Playhouse and the comments for this play indicate that the cast and crew of "Rent" are giving a traditionally strong Weston performance.
Here are a few of those comments:
"It blew me away! Ive been coming to the Playhouse for close to 20 years and this production goes to the top of my fave list."
"This was a wonderful show. A terrific cast, amazing voices, a fabulous set. Youve got to see it Go with an open mind and youll leave with an open heart. Well done all of you!"
"Came to the Sat. matinee and didnt expect to be so overwhelmed by the show. First rate cast delivered a first class performance. The standing ovation was well deserved. How lucky we are to have such quality theater here -Broadway has nothing on Weston!"
"Rent" had a strong run off Broadway and later on Broadway where it won a Tony Award® for Best Musical.
The play continues through August 22 on the Playhouse Main Stage, Village Green, Weston VT
Note that the play has a rating of NC17 - Adult language, content, and brief nudity. It may not be appropriate for people under the age of 17.
Weston Playhouse productions often sell out so it's a good idea to get tickets in advance.
Weston Vt is also home to the Vermont Country Store, one Vermont's top shopping attractions. It's very close to the Playhouse, on the opposite side of Main Street.

|Time to Plan Fall Foliage Travel
Our parking lot, September 27, 2008
With all the rain and cool temps, it seems like we haven't started summer yet so fall has to be far off. And, while we have about two months before the fall season rolls in, planning for it should be started.
Looking at our reservation book, I can see the early birds have been calling steadily already. We are far from full in late September and early October but we are close enough now that you should make lodging reservations very soon for the last week in September and first two weeks of October (maybe a week later in southern Vermont). Fall foliage is our busiest time of year and if you want to find a place to stay, especially on weekends, you should decide now.
That's not true just for us - every inn and motel is filling in their most popular rooms. You can wait until the last minute if you must, but you will get either the smallest or the most expensive rooms as options. And I certainly would not drive or fly here without having your lodging reservations lined up and confirmed. Every year we get some people looking for a room after they have arrived in the area and they often end up spending a lot of their valuable time looking for a room.
Last year's fall foliage colors were spectacular and the season was one of the best in the most people's memories. It was a year like this year with a very rainy June and July. Not so great for people but trees loved it. They had a low stress summer and celebrated with a fireworks display of color. I swear some of the trees looked fake they were so bright and colorful, especially the reds. Some of our maples had orange leaves that looked like they had been painted on with neon paint. I can't wait to see what our beautiful Vermont hillsides will look like this foliage season.

|Northwest Airlines Logo(s)
I've seen Northwest Airlines planes for many years but I never noticed something peculiar about them until it was pointed out to me a couple of weeks ago.
The logo is obviously a compass marker pointing in the northwest direction when you view the plane from the port (left) side. But if you view the airplane from the starboard side, the logo is suddenly pointing northeast!
Northwest is northwest no matter where it is viewed from. And it is so marked on every compass in the world. Why Northwest Airline chooses to do otherwise on one side of their airplanes is a mystery to me. If anyone knows why, I would appreciate hearing from you. The first one to respond gets a $30 discount voucher toward a stay here.
By the way, Northwest (recently acquired by Delta) flies twice a day between Detroit (DTW) and Burlington VT (BTV). You can see flights from all the airlines into Burlington on the BTV website. There are 45 to 50 flights a day into Burlington from 12 airports in 10 cities.

|Mother's Day Ideas
Nobody loves you as much as mom. You can give her a Mother's Day she will cherish with the gift of Vermont. Take her to a Vermont inn, restaurant, attraction, or simply a drive in the country.
If that's not possible this year, you can send Vermont to her with a Vermont Teddy Bear. They are very good at online orders and ship quickly. If you are going to travel to Vermont next weekend (Mother's Day is May 10), a tour of the Vermont Teddy Bear factory in Shelburne VT would be fun.
Vermont Teddy Bear has several pages of Mother's Day bears on its website, plus a grandmother bear too.
Make reservations soon and enjoy your day with mom.

|Billings Farm and Museum Starts Its Summer Season
Billings Farm and Museum is now open
Two of my favorite places in Vermont are the village of Woodstock VT and the Billings Farm and Museum located there.
Billings summer season of events gets underway this Sunday, May 3, with the 23rd annual Plowing Match. This contest pits teams of oxen and draft horses against each other. Each team and its handler is judged on how well they perform together.
The doors open at 9:00 a.m. and competition begins at 10:30 a.m. starting with the walking plow contest and continues into the afternoon with the team sulky competition. Special activities will include horse-drawn wagon rides, visitor plowing with the Billings team, ox programs, and rope making demonstrations.
Woodstock is located about 15 minutes west of White River Junction. Take Exit 1 from Interstate 89 and drive west on Route 4. Zoom in on the Google map from the link here and you will see Billings Farm clearly marked.
There is much to see and do in Woodstock including great inns, restaurants, shops, Simon Pearce glass works, and great country drives in the area. Charge those camera batteries.

Best Electronic Cigarette Starter Kits
With a plethora of e-cigarette brands out there, choosing the right starter kit can be difficult for novice vapers. Here are some of the best electronic cigarette starter kits that you might want to consider when trying out ecigs for the first time.
2015 #1 BRAND OF THE YEAR – Choose Vapor HQ!
Top 5 Electronic Cigarette Brands
- Rank
- Product Name
- Best Coupon
- More Info
V2 Cigs Review
- V2 Cigs offers five types of starter kits and two special bundles so you have plenty of options to choose from.
The V2 Cigs Express Kit contains the most basic elements of vaping – one automatic battery, one flavor cartridge, and a convenient USB express charger. At less than $25, this is the cheapest way to get started on e-cigs without compromising on quality.
The V2 Cigs Economy Kit has five more cartridges than the Express Kit, plus an additional wall adapter. Designed for more demanding smokers, the Economy Kit has been updated with the new V2 Smart Charger that replenishes battery power twice as fast than the express charger.
The flagship product of V2 Cigs is the Standard Kit. It includes one automatic battery, one manual battery, 10 flavor cartridges, a wall adapter, and a Smart Charger.
If you want more portability options, upgrade to the Standard Plus Kit to get a V2 personal charging case (PCC). Light and easy to carry, the V2 PCC can charge your e-cig battery up to four times while working as a storage unit for one extra battery and two flavor cartridges.
Another special bundle of the Standard Kit is the V2 Couples Kit, which doubles everything in the Standard Kit sweetened with a low combo price. Now don't forget you can use the V2 cigs coupon on any starter kit for an instant 15% discount every time you place an order.
The V2 Traveler Kit is the best starter kit for vapers on the go. It has everything you need for the office, the car, and for those times when you don't have access to a power source. Inside the Traveler Kit are two rechargeable batteries, a V2 Notebook-Cig (USB cigarette designed for laptops), 15 flavor cartridges, a wall adapter, plus three new items: the more powerful 2amp car adapter, a V2 Smart Charger, and a portable charging case.
The V2 Ultimate Kit lets you get the most out of your V2 Cigs experience. It includes three rechargeable batteries, a V2 Power-Cig (USB cigarette designed for desktops), 25 flavor cartridges, a wall adapter, plus five new items: a 2amp car adapter, a V2 Smart Charger, a metal carry case, a V2 lanyard, and the all new Portable Charging Case XL that can charge your e-cig battery up to eight times and conveniently store three flavor cartridges and one extra battery.
Green Smoke Review
- Green Smoke offers three types of starter kits, each designed for a specific vaping style.
The Express Kit is the cheapest way to get started with Green Smoke. Designed for those who want to try electronic cigarettes for the first time or e-smokers looking to switch to a new brand, the Express Kit includes one rechargeable automatic battery (your choice of long or short), one USB cigarette, five flavor cartridges, one USB charger, and one wall adapter.
The flagship product of Green Smoke is the Pro Kit. It contains one long battery and a short battery as your spare, one USB cigarette, 10 flavor cartridges, one USB charger, a wall adapter, and a car adapter. Note: You can lower the price of the pro kit when using a Green Smoke coupon during the checkout process.
To enjoy the best e-smoking experience from Green Smoke, try the top-of-the-line Ultimate Kit. It includes everything in the Pro Kit plus a third battery, a USB charger, and a durable carrying case for your cartridges and batteries.
For $40 less, you can get the Love Birds Kit instead of two Pro Kits — perfect for couples who are looking to switch to electronic cigarettes.
Blu Cigs Review
- Blu Cigs is one of the first e-cig brands to offer starter kits that look exactly like a cigarette flip-top box. The Blu Pack has seven slots – five to hold your cartridges, one to hold your spare battery, and one for charging on the go.
Blu Cigs offers three types of starter kits.
The Original Blu Starter Kit comes with one Blu Pack (black or white), two batteries, five flavor cartridges, a USB charger and a wall charger.
The Premium Blu Starter Kit includes one Blu Pack with social features (black or white), two batteries, five flavor cartridges, a USB charger and a wall charger.
The Premium100 Blu Starter Kit comes with one Blu Pack with social features (black only), two premium batteries, five flavor cartridges, a USB charger and a wall charger. Premium100 batteries are longer and rounder than Original and Premium electronic cigarettes. They also last longer between charges and their cartridges hold more liquid.
White Cloud Electronic Cigarette Review
- The Rolls Royce of e-cigarettes, White Cloud ecig delivers an amazing throat hit that's almost as real as a normal cigarette. Enjoy strong, rich flavors and large clouds of vapor on smooth and quiet draws without having to worry about your battery dying.
Each White Cloud cartridge is equivalent to two packs of traditional cigarettes, which is double than the industry average. With six nicotine levels to choose from, including Double Extra strength that contains 5.4% nicotine, White Cloud is the only brand that can deliver the nicotine kick that moderate-to-heavy smokers crave.
White Cloud offers five types of starter kits.
Perfect for first-time and casual vapers, the Cirrus 2 Starter Kit contains all the essentials you need to get started: two Cirrus II batteries, five flavor cartridges, and a ChargeBolt charger.
Looking for a compact e-cigarette kit to take out on the town? Try the Cirrus 3 Starter Kit which includes three Cirrus III batteries, five flavor cartridges, a Squid charger, and an AC adapter. The Squid charger can power up three Cirrus batteries simultaneously.
The new Cirrus 3X is the longest lasting e-cigarette battery on market – producing a whopping 600 puffs on a single charge (three to five times better than the competition). Spend the entire day vaping outdoors without having to worry about recharging your batteries, or carrying a bulky portable charging case. The Cirrus 3X Starter Kit contains three Cirrus 3X batteries, five flavor cartridges, a ChargeBolt charger, and AC/DC adapters.
The Cirrus Variety Starter Kit gives you a chance to try all three batteries in the Cirrus line. The kit includes Cirrus 2, Cirrus 3 and Cirrus 3X batteries, five flavor cartridges, a ChargeBolt charger, and an AC adapter.
Need to vape discreetly? The limited edition Phantom Starter Kit from White Cloud allows you to go incognito with its low-vapor electronic cigarettes. Packed in a jet-black locking storage box, the Phantom Starter Kit includes three Phantom batteries, five low-vapor cartridges, five regular cartridges, a black Squid charger, and a black AC adapter.
Volcano Ecigs Review
- Unlike most electronic cigarette companies that offer only one or two ecig styles, Volcano Ecigs covers the entire spectrum of e-cig users. Whether you're a transitioning smoker or a veteran vaper, you'll be able to find the right Volcano e-cigarette for you.
Volcano Ecigs currently offers four types of electronic cigarette: the Volcano (mini), the Magma (mid-sized), the Inferno (high-end), and the Lavatube (variable voltage).
The Volcano Starter Kit comes with a plethora of accessories that will have you vaping right out of the box: two batteries (black or white), five flavor cartridges, a V-Pack portable charger, a wall charger, and a USB charger.
Volcano has recently added a new Express Starter Kit to its lineup for those who are trying out e-cigs for the first time but plan to upgrade later on. The Volcano Express Starter Kit contains all the stuff you need to have an outstanding vaping experience, including one Volcano battery, two cartomizers, and a USB charger.
The Magma Starter Kit includes everything you will need to vape on the go. The Magma Tank Kit includes two automatic batteries, one Tank-o-mizer, one M-Pack portable charger, a USB charger, a wall charger, five blank tanks, and a 15ml bottle of V-Liquid.
The huge Inferno e-cig means long lasting battery life, great vapor volume, and excellent overall performance. The Inferno Starter Kit includes two passthrough batteries (650mAh and 900mAh), a wall charger, one tube sock, one fully assembled TubeTank vapor delivery system, five replacement cartomizers, and a 15ml bottle of V-Liquid.
The Lavatube is the most powerful and customizable electronic cigarette that Volcano has developed to date. At nearly 8 inches long, it is the e-cig of choice of vapers who prefer variable voltage batteries. The Lavatube Starter Kit includes one Lavatube battery, one carry case, one AW IMR High Drain 18650 rechargeable LiMN battery, one XTAR WP2 II multi-charger, one Black Swirl Acrylic Drip Tip, and one high resistance atomizer (3ohms).
Electronic cigarette starter kits are designed to make it easy for you to transition from smoking to vaping. The three most essential elements – battery, cartomizer, and charger – are always included, with options to add accessories for vaping at home, in the office, in your car, and on the go.
All five electronic cigarette brands mentioned here offer promo codes so you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for a starter kit. Check out our coupon codes for Green Smoke, V2 Cigs, Blu Cigs, White Cloud, and Volcano electronic cigarette starter kits to enjoy massive savings.

An open plan office space layout is an alternative to cubicles (Looking for cubicles instead? Click here for our office cubicles selection.) This design generally provides fewer distinct corners and encourages more interaction between employees. Characteristics of open plan office furniture usually include short screens or panels, and sometimes see-through acrylic or mesh. It creates a larger office workstation that encourages more interaction, and a much larger sense of space.
Benefits of an open plan office workstation
Many believe an open plan workplace can also lead to company growth. With fewer obstructions between employees, there are more opportunities for open discussion and innovation. Not to mention, with less blocking walls an open plan office layout is more flexible for a growing staff – not to mention in some cases savings in lighting costs.
The right workspace may even help your teams more thoroughly enjoy their job. A comfortable, modern work environment can improve morale and production. That's why at Arnold's we carry plenty of options to truly turn your office into a modern and efficient workplace. With standard or eco-friendly options, from known brands like Steelcase, Herman Miller, and Tec-Desk, we guarantee you'll find the perfect open plan system to meet your office's needs.
At Arnold's, we understand that office furniture is more than just a place for employees to sit. These state-of-the-art desking systems allow your team to work both collaboratively and comfortably. We'll help you pick the right open plan furniture, make sure it gets delivered straight to your office, all at an unbeatable price.

The Real World: Hollwood Thinks GreenMonday, April 21, 2008
The Real World: Hollywood just premiered a few weeks ago. The show is typically all about drinking, fighting, regretful hookups, jealousy, backstabbing, cavorting, and a whole lot of family therapy. Now you can throw in eco-friendly trend-setter.
In a groundbreaking initiative for MTV, this new season will go "green" and introduce their young viewers ways in which they can incorporate environmentally-friendly household items and make eco-friendly lifestyle choices, as seen on "The Real World" into their everyday lives.
"The Real World" house will include everything from solar energy solutions to bamboo flooring, recycled glass counters, some sustainable furniture and recycled vintage decor, energy star appliances, a solar heated swimming pool and energy efficient lighting.
MTV worked with a wide range of environmentally-friendly manufacturers, including Environment Furniture. The Santomer Bed, shown above, uses reclaimed Peroba wood from old barns, house, and bridges in Brazil. It's furniture that sets the standard for aspirational interior design with an eco-friendly twist. You can also check out some of their other great, eco-friendly furniture products such as the Santomer Dining Table, Laurel Dining Table, Santos Dining Table, and Santos Coffee Table.
MTV is also allowing fans to interact in a Sims-like fashion with the Virtual Real World. In the Virtual Real World users can create their own avatars to learn about environmental facts, create eco-friendly virtual clothing and share stories about what they've done to better the environment.
It looks very close to the Ethan Bed.

This panorama, taken by James Blakeway, captures the Minnesota Vikings playing to more than 63,000 football fans at Mall of America Field in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. The Vikings' 34-3 divisional playoff victory over the Cowboys set a team record for the fewest points allowed in a playoff game and advanced the Vikings to the NFC Championship game. They were the NFC North Champions in both 2008 and 2009, and were undefeated in the Metrodome during the 2009 season. The Vikings first played at the Metropolitan Stadium from 1961 - 1981 and moved to the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in 1982, where they play to one of the noisiest crowds in professional football.
Sunday night under the big top in Minneapolis, with millions watching the marquee matchup of the NFL playoffs unfold, and 63,000 lucky fans thrilling to hometown domination...it doesn't get any better than this! Bring your wall alive with Vikings football glory, with this spectacular panoramic view of one of the most memorable home games ever. As Simeon Rice crosses the goal line after hooking up with Brett Favre for a 45 yard touchdown pass, putting icing on the cake...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall. From the historic action on the field below, to the ecstatic purple-and-gold crowd, to the scoreboard proudly proclaiming "TOUCHDOWN", to the flash of the fireworks providing a dramatic exclamation point, it's all here, looking absolutely fantastic for your wall. Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality paper stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo and a brief descriptive paragraph, this is both a beauty for the wall of home or office, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of any fan of Vikings football and big-time NFL action!

In Legends of Grimrock your party can rest to recover energy and health. Is there any drawback abusing it?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Another negative aspect of resting is that it expends your hunger level much more quickly than playing at normal speed.
Think of it as the game increasing the play speed by a few [units], anything affected by time is affected by resting.
The only negative thing that can happen while you're resting is that monsters can attack you,of course if you find a safe place to rest (which i suggest you do) then you shouldn't have problem.
Resting can also cause some monsters in previously cleared areas to respawn, this is particularly noticeable on the lower levels like level 6: trapped.

Kyle Wyman Off-Season Part 2 - January 2014
NEWS January 16, 2014
Photo by Brian J Nelson
Hope everyone had a great holiday season and are ready to take on the new year!
I am definitely looking forward to what 2014 has in store for me as a motorcycle racer. It's tough being in the off season, but it gives us an opportunity to reflect on years past, and work on ourselves to become a better person. My New Years resolution for 2014 is to seize opportunity; to make the most of each day and situation that comes my way.
For the past couple of years, I have been a supporter of the Progeria Research Foundation. PRF is a non-profit organization that focuses on raising awareness for Progeria, a genetic rapid-aging disease that affects children. Just a few days ago, PRF's most inspirational young man, Sam Berns, passed away at the age of 17 due to complications from the disease.
Sam lived each day of his life to the fullest, always saw the best in people, and surrounded himself with an aura that left lasting impressions on people all over the world. I'm proud to be a spokesperson for PRF, and I hope we can all work together to find hope for the cure.
I have been able to apply lessons I've learned from Sam in my career every day. To make the best of each opportunity and cherish every moment is the stem of all happiness and success.
The days are counting down to the season opening round at Daytona International Speedway, and I look forward to the opportunity to have continued success at a venue that has been very good to me the past three seasons. My heart is beating as fast as I'm pounding this keyboard just thinking about the rush of rolling into that legendary track.
Right now I'm gearing up my XR1200 program for this season. The plan is to have a four-rider effort in the series for the duration of the season and I'm happy to be putting things together early for once. The past few years have been a mad rush to get to Daytona in a pickup truck, but now we have our trailer and program solid for the new year, and it's a great feeling.
Be sure to follow me on facebook (www.facebook.com/kylewymanfans), Twitter (@kylewyman) and Instagram (@kylewyman) to get all of the latest photos and news about Kyle Wyman Racing as we chase the AMA Pro Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson championship once again.
Thanks for reading!
