The Obama administration unveiled a $250 million initiative aimed at improving the public health infrastructure, including efforts to curb the spread of chronic diseases. The project, which comes after the White House announced a $250 million funding boost for the health care workforce, is a "prevention-focused approach" that will benefit providers and patients and reduce costs, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said.

Seldom can I say I am really emotionally moved by a work of illustration, but this time I was. Everything is so ... right ! The soft undertones, the wrinkled skin, the face expression ... everything speaks of regrets and human feelings. It's a true masterpiece. Where was that darn Editor's Pick button anyway ?!

Volunteerism is alive and well here. Despite widespread cynicism about corporate America, paid-off politicians and the like many in this country are thinking and acting selflessly. More than a quarter of Americans are spending their extra hours in useful volunteer work. Between September 2001 and September 2002, some 59 million Americans volunteered, doing things such as mentoring and tutoring children, building affordable housing and cleaning parks, the Labor Department found. More than 27 percent of the civilian population over 16 worked as volunteers to help others. Americans, on average, performed 52 hours of volunteer work a year. ; Religious, educational and youth-related organizations attracted the greatest number of volunteers, with employed persons doing more volunteer work than the unemployed. A lot of people are willing to help others, solely for the good such volunteerism does and the satisfaction it gives. Maybe too many of us have forgotten that.Today In History- By The Associated Press Tbday is Saturday, Jan. ll, the eleventh day of 2003. There are 354 days left in the year.

In 1964, U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry issued the first government report saying smoking may be hazardous to one's health. In 1973, owners of American League baseball teams voted to adopt the designat-ed-hitter rule on a trial basis. In 1977, France set off an international uproar by releasing Abu Daoud, a PLO official behind the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Five years ago: The Denver Broncos beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 24-21, to win the American Football Conference championship; the Green Bay Packers defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 23-10, to claim the National Football Conference championship. The holidays this year seemed so rich in community spirit. From Wurstfest to the lighting ceremony to Wassailfest to the choral programs, the New Braunfels community seemed closer than before. The worries of the year weren't so big. All shared good cheer. None of the activities seemed to be about economics, but about rejoicing of our time together. Considering all the troubles that were suffered by family, friends and the country as a whole, there is always the thought that we were lucky — or blessed with what we had. I feel New Braunfels lies between the choice of preserving a strong community and building a strong economy. We need jobs. We need growth. The task is to create a vibrant future without sacrificing what makes New Braunfels so special — the community texture.

When we become locked up ovet the desire to place a stop sign in a residential neighborhood, it is because we do not have a purpose or guidance to help us prioritize the choices.

The states are plotzing right and left, caught in hideous binds — whether it is better to release dangerous prisoners or cut back the schools, cut back health qa're for kids or nursing homes for old folks. • Politically, its notoriously diffi-CuIt to oppose tax cuts precisely because the trouble doesn't show Up until after the next election, but this time we have are having Our noses rubbed in the results even as Bush proposes to do it again at the federal level. And what a tax cut it is. According to Citizens for Tax Justice, the wealthiest I percent of taxpayers, those who make over $356,000 a year, will get almost 50 percent of the benefit of eliminating the tax on dividends and 45 percent of the money from accelerating the rate cuts. The 80 percent of the households making less than $73,000 a year would get less than IO percent of the new tax breaks. The Bushies have various ways of justifying this monstrosity, noneMolly Ivins of which holds up under scrutiny. The first claim is that the rich pay more in taxes in the first place. Well, yeah, they do: They have more money. The richest I percent have 18 percent of all the pretax income and they pay 36 percent of all personal income taxes. But one of the many disingenuous tricks with statistics you will see used by the Soak the Poor school is to ignore the rest of the tax burden. Most of us actually pay more in payroll taxes than we do in income taxes, but FICA taxes cut off at $87,000 — you make more than that, you don't have to pay on the rest. And, of course, the sales tax is notoriously regressive — rich families and poor families alike pay the same sales tax on a refrigerator, but it's a much bigger chunk of the income of the poor family. Despite all the screaming and yelling, the progressive income tax is the fairest form of taxation ever invented (unless you want to count the wealth tax used by most European countries). When Dwight Eisenhower left office, the highest marginal tax rate was 95 percent and no one thought Ike was a communist. It's now down to 38.6 percent and due to drop to 35 percent. For 70 years, the income tax has made at least part of the total tax picture here progressive, rather regressive. It's not only unfair to change that, it's stupid Bush is now arguing that we need a tax cut because the economy is in recession (originally, he argued for a tax cut because the economy was so good). It is true that a balanced budget is not the be-all and end-all of good governance — that's one of those panaceas we occasionally fall for — and running a deficit at the federal level is not the end of the world or necessarily even bad policy. Tax cuts can stimulate the economy. But note the long, circuitous thinking about giving tax cuts to the rich: If the rich have more money, they will invest it — and that investment will allow compa nies to expand, and then they will hire more workers, and that will end the recession. Whereas, if you give tax cuts to the middle and working classes, they go out and spend the money because the baby needs new shoes. Presto, demand is up, factories back in action, end of recession. There's no guarantee that rich people will do anything economically productive with more money. 'Their major strategy seems to be stashing it in offshore banks so they don't have to pay any taxes. As Leona Helmsley so famously remarked, taxes are for "little people." The dirty little secret about taxes in this country is that rich people and corporations mostly don't pay them now — they have a whole system of shelters and offshore deals. We don't need to raise taxes in this country, we need to collect them. The centerpiece of the Bush tax cuts is eliminating dividend taxes, effective immediately, on the grounds that the dividends are "taxed twice" — by the corporate income tax and then the dividend tax. This one has absolutely nothing to do with economic stimulus, it's a pure give-away to the rich. One reason dividends should be taxed is because the people who get them don't work for the money. In the old days, people who lived off their investments were known as "coupon clippers" and generally despised as nonworking parasites. Granted, it takes some smarts to do well enough in the stock market to live high (and somebody, like your granddaddy, had to make the money in the first place), but the fact is most investors don't spend their lives poring over company prospectuses — they pay someone else to do it. They're making money off other people's labor. Why shouldn't they pay taxes on it? The final reason it's dumb to cut taxes for the rich is the problem of social justice. We're already in trouble because the income gap between the rich and the rest of us keeps getting worse and worse. The rich buy their way out of our public institutions — schools, hospitals, parks — and then contribute money to politicians who let the public infrastructure go to heck. It doesn't work.

Rare and Dangerous Ice Storm Hits Deep South; Extreme Cold in the Midwest
why ads?
A rare and dangerous ice storm has begun in the Deep South, where Winter Storm Leon is tracking along the northern Gulf Coast, spreading a nasty mix of freezing rain, sleet, cold rain, and snow along a swath from Central Texas to Eastern Virginia. At 8 am CST, freezing rain was falling at a temperature of 28°F in Austin, Texas, where a 20-car pileup on an overpass was reported, as well as at least ten other car crashes in a 30-minute time span. A portion of Interstate 35 was closed due to the crashes and icing. Freezing rain was falling on the north side of Houston, Texas, and in Mobile Alabama, this morning; snow was falling in Jackson Mississippi, and sleet in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The National Weather Service has posted Freezing Rain Advisories along a swath from Eastern Texas across Southern Louisiana, Southern Mississippi, Southern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, almost all of Georgia and South Carolina, and into Eastern North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. Ice accumulations of 1/4" - 1/2" are expected in much of this area, with isolated higher amounts. Snows of 1 - 4" are possible just to the north of the freezing rain swath, with heavier amounts of 6 - 12" across southeast Virginia and northeast North Carolina. The ice storm has the potential to cause significant damage to trees and power lines, resulting in widespread power outages. Travel will be very dangerous in a region unaccustomed to extreme winter weather.

Extreme cold in the Midwest
An unusually sharp southwards dip of the jet stream is allowing intensely cold air to spill southwards out of the Arctic and over the eastern half of the United States. The most extreme cold Tuesday morning was over the Upper Midwest, where the temperature fell to -35° in Northern Minnesota in Longville, with a dangerously low wind chill of -47°. Chicago bottomed out at -11°, with a wind chill of -30°, at 7 am CST. In Detroit, the low hit -10°, with a wind chill of -27°. Wind chill levels that low are extremely rare in Southeast Lower Michigan, and the dangerously cold conditions prompted officials at the University of Michigan to cancel classes on Tuesday for only the fourth time since the college was founded in 1817 (the other closures came in January 1978, 1974, and 1945, according to a Dec. 7, 2006 article published in the Michigan Daily.) The latest round of snow on Monday brought the January total snowfall for Detroit to 37.1", establishing a new all-time January snowfall record. It's getting so the snowbanks surrounding my driveway are so high, I can't throw the snow over them! This morning it hit -18° at my backyard PWS, marking the 12th day this month with a temperature of -10° or colder. It's truly been a winter to remember in Michigan in 2014.
The historic February 1994 Southeast U.S. ice storm
Damage from today's Southeast U.S. ice storm may well run into the hundreds of millions of dollars, but it will not compare to the damage from the most expensive ice storm in U.S. history, the great February 1994 Southeast U.S. ice storm. That storm killed nine people and caused $4.7 billion (2013 dollars) of damage in portions of TX, OK, AR, LA, MS, AL, TN, GA, SC, NC, and VA. At least 2 million customers were without electricity at some point, and 1/2 million were still without power three days after the storm. Hardest hit was Northern Mississippi, which was deluged with 4 - 5" of freezing rain that created flooding problems. Ice thicknesses of 3.5 - 5.5 inches were common in the state, causing catastrophic damage estimated at $3 billion. Some residents were without power one month after the storm.

62° in Alaska
The cold air flowing out of the Arctic into the eastern half of the U.S. is being replaced by warm air surging northwards over Alaska and the North Atlantic east of Greenland. The warmth in Alaska the past three days has been particularly astonishing, with Alaska observing its all-time warmest January temperature of 62° on Monday 1/27 at the Port Alsworth Climate Reference Network station, according to Rick Thoman of NWS Fairbanks. This ties the January state record set at Petersburg on January 16, 1981. Port Alsworth is about 160 miles southwest of Anchorage.
Nome, Alaska recorded a high of 51°F on Monday. This was 38° above average, and the warmest temperature ever observed in any November through March in Nome since record keeping began in 1907. Ironically, exactly 25 years ago, Nome recorded its lowest temperature on record--a bone-chilling -54° on January 27, 1989. Nome is located about 160 miles south of the Arctic Circle, and has just 6 1/2 hours of daylight this time of year.
According to Wunderground's weather historian, Christopher C. Burt, in his latest post, Record Warmth in Alaska Contrasts Cold Wave in Eastern U.S., all-time January heat records have been set over the past three days in Nome, Denali Park, Palmer, Homer (twice), Alyseka, Seward, and Talkeetna. Bolio Lake Range Complex in Fort Greely, Alaska, located about 100 miles southeast of Fairbanks, hit 60° on Sunday. This is only 2° short of the all-time state January heat record of 62° set at Petersburg in Jan 1981, according to NCDC records.

Once regarded as the best way to achieve good fuel economy, subcompact cars like the 2014 Mazda2 5-door no longer reign supreme as the most miserly modes of transportation. However, they still offer the most affordable way to get into a new car. The Mazda2's strong points are obvious just by looking at it. Aggressive styling, bold colors and a long list of standard features give it a leg up on more expensive alternatives, as does its reputation on twisting back roads. Offered in a single, 5-door hatchback configuration, the Mazda2 isn't as versatile as the Ford Fiesta, Kia Rio or Nissan Versa. The Mazda2 is also noticeably lacking in the areas of horsepower, audio and infotainment upgrades and – with only four gears – a modern automatic transmission.
There are no major updates for the 2014 Mazda2 5-door.
The Mazda2 rolls into 2013 with no major changes.
Other than a one-mile-per-gallon increase in fuel economy, there are no major changes for the 2012 Mazda2 hatchback.
The Mazda Mazda2 jumpstarts the low-priced end of the line-up by offering an affordable, fun and neatly-packaged means of transportation that doesn't stray from the brand's "zoom zoom" mantra. The Mazda2 comes in two trim levels, a well-equipped Sport trim and an even better-equipped Touring variant.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 6,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Great for parking,fits toddler in rear comfortably"
Cons: "small fuel capacity not good for long trips"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Notes about me: - I have owned Japanese-made, American-made, and German-made cars - I prefer to perform maintenance service on my cars, if I can - I like to modify and upgrade my car, if I can --- The Mazda2 is a good car, and it is what I expect from a Japanese-made car and from Mazda. We previously drove a Mini Cooper (2004 and 2012), but as a family with a new baby boy living in San Francisco, California, we wanted a small 4-door car that was still easy to park. While 12 inches longer than the Mini Cooper, the it is still fairly easy to fit smaller parking spaces in San Francisco. Yes, it doesn't have all the perks of a fancier car, but I don't expect that from a $15,000 car. We also considered the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris (4-door), the Ford Fiesta, and the Prius C. Here are some facts about our first year of ownership: - Purchased the Auto Transmission, Touring model new in May 2012 and put on about 5000 miles per year - Did our first oil change ourselves - the placements of the oil filter and drain plug make oil changes a cinch! - Installed the direct-fit Mazda2 Bluetooth hands-free kit ourselves, and it works like a charm - Installed heated seats, and it works great for the cold San Francisco mornings (low to mid 40s) - Purchased a second switch-blade remote off of Ebay and programmed it myself (very easily and cheaply) - I even was able to use the remote trunk release button on the Mazda2 - Rear seats fit our full-sized convertible baby/toddler seat, rear-facing without a problem and still gives me and my wife (5'7") a good amount of room in the front seats - Can fit our Quinny Zapp (tiny!) stroller and two full-sized carry-on suitcases in the trunk with the rear seats upright for passengers! Our MPG on the Auto Transmission is all over the place, but we expect that being in San Francisco "proper" with hills everywhere: * Pure CITY driving can be as low as 20-22mpg (SF city blocks may have stop signs on EVERY block or two, with some city blocks only being about 300ft in length - that's up to 16 stop signs per mile! Also, I try my best to make full, complete stops by the book.) * Mixed driving gives us around 24-27mpg * Pure FREEWAY driving gives us around 31-36mpg, depending on driving speed; It's closer to 31mpg when driving on the sometimes windy I-5 going around 75-85mph and closer to 36mpg when going around 55-65mph NOTE for all Mazda2 owners regarding FUEL CAPACITY: ==> For some reason, Mazda chose to display "0 miles remaining" (we call it "E blinky zero") with around 1.25 gallons remaining in the tank. We don't have a precise number, yet, because we don't want to run out of gas - but we were able to drive 35 miles AFTER the trip meter told us we were "out" of gas with "0 miles remaining" and still were not able to fill up the full 11.3-gallon capacity of the tank. ---- Overall and a year later, we still feel this was the best car for our needs (family with a baby/toddler living in San Francisco)."

"So far I have no regrets purchasing this vehicle. there are only a few little things to mention. the visors are a little small and don't block out much sun when you need them. the stability gets a little shaky at high speeds, but it's manageable. and there is no center arm rest. overall though it's a great car."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 8,200overall rating 8 of 10rating details
Pros: "Fun to drive, great MPG, feels solid"
Cons: "Garment hooks? Mist option for the rear wiper?"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Traded my Fit Sport AT for the Mazda 2 because I live in the mountains and was tired of the Fit downshifting seemingly at will; also had some customer service issues with Honda that never got resolved, so I switched brands. The M2 is much more fun to drive than the Fit was, and is getting slightly better gas mileage. Two minor complaints about the Mazda: where are the garment hooks (this is, after all, a four door car, and it would be nice to be able to hang one's clothes)?, and why can't I swipe the back glass just once like I can the windshield? Pretty minor stuff. Had the opportunity recently to drive the M2 in the snow, and it is a great little snow car."

Cut-throat attitude toward customer trying to deal with faulty machine 08/17/2012
This review is from: ThinkPad Laptop T Series T520 (423946U) Intel Core i5 2nd Gen 2520M (2.50 GHz) 4 GB Memory 320 GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 3000 15.6" Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
The machine works well and supports multitasking--word processing, several browsers, and a movie can run simultaneously. Tech support on the whole has been reliable.
Soon after purchase a crash and blue screen revealed that the hard drive was faulty. The company promptly sent a replacement hard drive that seems to be refurbished because it already had a Europe setting. The major problem in this that shows this company's negative character--contrary to the face it puts on--is that it refused to allow an adequate grace period for a problem with transferring contents from one drive to another. Local professional tech help is limited in town where computer is located and time to send the machine somewhere could not be spared. The company sent an invoice for $174. for the old drive. When owner phoned to explain problems with safe transfer of contents from old to new drive, the attitude of the accounting office was mainly a veiled threat. Foreign accent, inflexible, mean.
Other Thoughts:
Buyers should weigh the importance of a product's popular reputation (this one was defective) along with the mfr's attitude toward its customers. The nature of bottom-line departments such as accounting are as important to ownership as the quality of the machine. This company has a mean attitude. When customers suffer loss of time and money, not to mention stress, because of a defect in the product, a company should accommodate any difficulty the customer has in dealing with it. The company's refusal to flex with the circumstance is a reason to choose another brand.

Comments about 16" Oscillating Pedestal Fan, Black:
The first day it was ok but after turning it on and off once the dial now does not work properly. Obviously something wrong with the connections inside the motor. When putting the dial on 3 (high) it only works when you push the dial forward and push down and if you're lucky it "sticks" or else it just shuts down. The 2 setting works most of the time. Very annoyingly also, if you lightly bump into it it turns off also. In any case, it was cheap and you can tell. I would suggest upgrading to a different model :(

Groton — "It gets harder every time. It's very difficult. For us and for our families."
Saturday afternoon, Col. Al Wilcoxson had just gotten off one of three buses carrying a total of 100 soldiers from the Connecticut National Guard. Members of the Guard's 1109th Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group (TASMG) had returned to the Guard's aviation maintenance facility in Groton after 281 days' deployment in Kuwait and Afghanistan. The unit conducted aviation field maintenance, depot level aviation repairs and provided aircraft maintenance, contact teams and test pilots.
"But it's worth it all to see this. It reminds us why we went over there and what we have to be grateful for," said Wilcoxson, smiling and gesturing out not just at his own family but at a vast crowd of spouses, grandfolks, parents, children, friends and fellow Guard members — all on hand to welcome their loved ones back.
As the soldiers left each bus, they were greeted by a short, single-file handshake line that included Connecticut Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman and Maj. Gen. Thaddeus J. Martin, commander of the Connecticut National Guard. Then they broke rank to applause, cheers and cries of recognition, scattering through the crowd to hone in on their respective familial welcoming commitees.
"There are definitely no speeches or debriefing sessions," said Col. John R. Whitford, public affairs officer for the Connecticut National Guard. "This isn't the time or place. It wouldn't be right to keep their families at a distance. It's not fair. You get them off the bus and let them go. It is what it is — and that's important."
The 1109th TASMG arrived at Fort Dix in New Jersey about a week ago, and the bus convoy was scheduled to arrive at the facility at Groton-New London Airport around 11 a.m. Saturday. Because of traffic, they were almost an hour late. Family members and friends had started gathering by 10:30 a.m., and the hangar was festooned with bunting and JOB WELL DONE! banners.
Folks were spread across the tarmac just outside the yawning, open doors of the massive hangar. Hand-held posters, balloons and American flags were in abundance, and the crowd fairly glittered in the spring sunshine, dressed in everything from evening finery and red, white and blue shirt/tie/hat combos to biker T-shirts and flip-flops.
Just inside the hanger opening, the 102nd U.S. Army Band played celebratory material that spanned John Philip Sousa and "America the Beautiful" to "New York, New York."
Jamie Zummo of Mystic, clutching a small American flag, was waiting, along with three generations of family and friends, for his son, Alfonso Zummo, a helicopter repairman back from his first deployment.
"We're so grateful for Facebook," Zummo said with a nervous smile. "Four or five times a week, we were able to send messages or get to see him. It made it a little easier."
Zummo said it was hard not to dwell on the living conditions and whether Alfonso was in danger depending on where he might be on any given assignment.
"But we're very proud of him. The fact that he went over there to support our country is unbelievably great. And now he's almost home."
When asked what Alfonso might want to do upon arrival, Zummo's answer was instantaneous and assured.
"He said, 'Dad, I want to go home and I want to see my dog,'" Zummo said.
Indeed, there was more than one species in attendance; several dogs also waited on their masters to get off the buses. All behaved impeccably in a fashion that indicated honor, affection and the appropriate discipline one would expect from military training.
Chance, for example, a pug owned by Griswold's Kendall Remondi, an automated logistics specialist coming back from her first deployment, just seemed happy to be in a noisy, expectant crowd. For the duration of the deployment, Chance had been living with Kendall's identical twin sister Jessica.
Also in attendance: Remondi's mother, Lisa Moyer, and her husband, Larry Moyer, as well as a contingency of brothers, sisters and friends.
"In the beginning, I was just terrified," Lisa Moyer said. "But we'd email or talk on FaceTime and that made it easier. Plus, her boyfriend, Larry Davis, was also overseas, along with their friend Kyle Mish, so that made it a lot better knowing they were at least together."
As it neared noon and word spread that the convoy was getting close, the crowd began to inch out of the hangar. Two firetrucks were parked on opposite sides of the tarmac. From the tower of one hung a massive American flag. Atop the other, a fireman turned the hose on full spray in a high, heraldic arc as the three buses rolled under and into the compound, took a U-turn and pulled to a halt.
The soldiers disembarked — and the joyous melee began.
At the back of the crowd, Chance, on a short leash, wandered about the periphery of the crowd, sniffing and taking in sights and scents. Jessica began to try to get Chance's attention and point toward the buses.
A figure in military dress strode toward them. It was Kendall Remondi.
Finally, Chance looked up and, with a canine equivalent of a double-take, leaped up and against Kendall's knees. Kendall reached down, hoisted her dog to her neck, and the two hugged as the rest of the family swarmed around.
When the delighted dog was at last returned to earth, Kendall looked around at her loved ones.
"This is amazing," she said. "All I want to do is go home and be with everybody. It will be great to take a shower in my own bathroom. I want to drink a beer. And just relax."
With that, she leaned over and, once more, pulled Chance to her chest.

Name: Battle Of Geonosis
Collection: 30 (77-07)
Number: N/A (Battle Packs)
Source: Attack Of The Clones
Availability: January 2007
License: Hasbro
Before the beginning of the Clone Wars, little attention was paid by the people of the Republic to the barren world of Geonosis. The discovery of a Separatist stronghold by Obi-Wan Kenobi, however, and his subsequent capture, led the Jedi to dispatch reinforcements to the desert world. There, on the vast alkali plains of this blasted and rocky world, the first battle of the Clone Wars was fought, and the name of Geonosis was forever seared into the pages of galactic history.
The Battle Of Geonosis Battle Packs set is a nightmare. Hasbro certainly knew how to sell us a bridge when it came to the unnecessary Battle Packs in the 30 (77-07) line. Including a key character like Jango Fett nearly ensures sales and that's exactly what they did to promote the Battle Packs that really weren't needed by collectors. But it's not necessarily the choice of action figures that makes this set a waste of time and energy for you. Even if you may have needed Aayla Secura, Jango Fett, Count Dooku, Obi-Wan Kenobi or another Super Battle Droid for your collection, this wasn't the way to attain them. Due to poor packaging, the figures came to us mangled as a result of poor positioning or placement and tight rubber bands that warped the life out of the plastics. What makes this set worse is that it is so loosely based on multiple scenes in Attack Of The Clones that it's really hard to source this set. We've chosen Attack Of The Clones by default because even Obi-Wan Kenobi appears based on his Clone Wars appearance!
The Battle Of Geonosis Battle Packs set is a hodgepodge of some of the more inferior quality figures released by Hasbro. There are exceptions to our claim. But why in the world would Hasbro include old versions of a Super Battle Droid, Count Dooku, Jango Fett and even Obi-Wan Kenobi when there were or are better base sculpts available? We're not entirely sure, but even the odd character choices don't seem to fit that well. The Battle Of Geonosis set would have been significantly better had Hasbro included about three Jedi (at least one new) and two Separatist Droids to finish it off. There was no need for another Jango Fett and Count Dooku especially, and definitely not the iterations of them they chose. And don't even get us started about the included Obi-Wan Kenobi figure. Hasbro took the 2003 CW Obi-Wan Kenobi (General Of The Republic Army) ('03 #45) figure and threw it in this pack. What's worse is that they assembled his backpack (which he didn't have in Episode II) incorrectly.
We are the biggest proponents of the Battle Packs line but perhaps a little more creativity is needed before Hasbro agrees on a certain concept. The reason for Battle Packs is a mixed bag. Hasbro definitely caters to collectors, especially with the exclusive sets, but there also seems to be attention given to the kids' market. But a set like the Battle Of Geonosis doesn't seem to draw either side as far as we're concerned. Just like the packaging on junk breakfast cereal for kids, the outside of the box is more appealing than the contents. The back of the box has a beautifully photographed scene and perhaps if we had the same background (or play-set) that the figures in the picture have too, we imagine this set would be much more appealing. With Hasbro getting better and better making awesome Star Wars action figures for us, all of the figures will see incredible updates eventually. You'll just have to decide if you can find a reason for purchasing this set for your own collection. We think that will be a grueling task.

And then there is liver, which I dearly love and tongue is great when cooked
properly, but I couldn't develop a liking for pickled pig feet. The only
time I get liver is when we eat out so that I'm not cooking two meals. LOL!

Amazing what a wide variety of taste buds the human population possesses.
My husband is totally grossed out when I eat crackers with cottage cheese
and sardines on top. I like it- got that one from my mom. And of course,
cottage cheese on potato chips is an old standby- used to always eat it when
I was sick as a kid- so now it's sort of my version of comfort food.

Aloe Vera Info
Aloe vera juice - the inner gel of the leaves of this succulent plant - has a long held reputation for its amazing healing properties. The Egyptians called it the plant of immortality, the ancient Greeks knew its value and there are accounts of its use in biblical times. Wound healing, digestion and inflammation are all improved by the soothing action of aloe vera gel.
Aloe Vera Benefits
The efficiency of the digestive system improves with aloe vera's soothing action on the mucous lining of the stomach and its enzymatic action enhances nutrient absorption. It helps maintain healthy intestinal bacteria and bowel regularity, improving elimination. Aloe vera is a strong immune system activator, anti-inflammatory and allergy inhibitor. It helps balance fluid levels and pH levels in the body. Skin, circulation, musculoskeletal and lymphatic systems all benefit from aloe vera's tonic action.
Both internally and externally aloe vera enhances tissue repair and helps heal burns and wounds. It is rich in nutrients and active components of cell growth and renewal.
Aloe Vera Side Effects
Aloe vera is nontoxic and there are no side effects reported. It is not recommended during pregnancy as it may cause uterine contractions.
helped anxiety and depression.
Suffered anxiety and depression because of tummy issues to do with ibs, read on here that it helped a customer with anxiety...which persuaded me to try it out. My depression has lessened and also my anxiety. I was quite impressed. It also helped with the nausea and feeling ill when waking up. I took 40mls in the morning on empty stomach and 40mils at night on an empty stomach....alongside advanced probiotics. I really love this product and have already ordered some for my mum. It's been a lifesaver for me. Awesome product...you have to give it a go....I am almost at end of my first bottle and already put in an order for another....
A miracle tonic
Lifestyle and emotional factors have meant that I should have caught every bug going this last winter, but I had one day sick off work while everyone around me was 'dropping like flies' - the difference? I take 20ml of this every morning before anything else hits my stomach. That's all. No other pills, potions or habits. I credit it with strengthening my immune system such that I have had one cold all winter. The manuka honey makes this yummy, too.
After drinking the product, I feel my skins become smooth and less aga-spot occur.

You can import photos via Memory Stick slot—but also SD, CF and xD! (Way to go, Sony!) You can connect the HDMS-S1D to your TV via HDMI, and navigate slideshows using its remote control. It has a CD/DVD burner for getting and saving shots. We also see an Ethernet port, so we're going to assume there's at least some way to push photos to it from your PC (or Mac?) In addition to letting you edit, rotate, delete and group photos on screen, there are also some unique automated features: Advertisement • x-Pict Story HD automatically builds "professional quality" slideshows • Face detection technology locates faces and frames slideshow transitions around faces • x-ScrapBook sets photos in templates, using face detection and event-clustering for sharp layoutsHere's what the back of the sucker looks like: And here's what it looks like when people far prettier than you get together and use it in their Sonylicious home: Press release: Advertisement SONY'S NEW DIGITAL PHOTO ALBUM TURNS PHOTO COLLECTIONS INTO HIGH-DEFINITION ENTERTAINMENT Store, Organize and Share Photos with Slideshow and Scrapbook-style displaysNEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2007 -Sony today announced the HDMS-S1D Digital Photo Album for shutterbugs who want to archive, organize and enjoy slideshows of their digital photos. This compact device features an 80GB hard drive, connects to a high definition television via HDMI and showcases up to 50,000 high resolution photos.The new digital photo album offers several methods for importing photos, including multiple flash memory card formats, CD, DVD, USB or Ethernet. Once imported, photo collections can be managed with the supplied remote control and the device's intuitive interface.Photos can be organized by date, special occasions such as birthdays and travel (using pre-selected icons), or into as many as 3,000 different photo albums- enough for every major family milestone. The digital photo album also provides the ability to review, edit, rotate, delete and arrange photos for a slideshow or digital scrapbooking with Sony's x-Application® features.The photo managing x-Pict Story HD™ software creates professional quality slideshows, eliminating the need for PC-based photo editing. Slideshows can be created by selecting from 30 pre-loaded music tracks and transition styles. For personalization, you can add up to five songs from your own CDs. The software also allows for connection to a compatible printer for making prints of your photos or scrapbook pages directly from the device.The HDMS-S1D Digital Photo Album uses Sony's face detection technology to locate faces in photographs and adjusts the slideshow transitions around the location of faces.When creating digital scrapbooks, the x-ScrapBook™ application sets photos within scrapbook templates, and uses face detection and event-clustering technology to make scrapbook-style layouts of photos with a common trait like photos of children, or pictures grouped by events such as a party or vacation.When family or friends request copies of the photos they've seen on your HDTV, you can select and save those photos to CD, DVD, or flash memory card.The HDMS-S1D Digital Photo Album will be available in October for about $400 online at sonystyle.com, across the country at Sony Style® retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail) and at authorized dealers nationwide.Reply31 repliesLeave a reply
