Phoenix welcome fan's 2-year A-League ban
The Wellington Phoenix are happy with a two-year A-League ban dished out to an Adelaide United fan for racially abusing Paul Ifill, and the player wants to move on.
Football Federation Australia (FFA) on Sunday announced the Adelaide man had been banned from attending any A-League match for two years for breaching the its Spectator Code of Behaviour during the December 16 match at Hindmarsh Stadium.
Adelaide United Football Club also cancelled membership held by the man.
Ifill, an English-born Barbados international, tweeted following the ban announcement, thanking the Adelaide club and police "for acting promptly and professionally in the investigation".
"Also want to thank @WgtnPhoenixFC and all fans of the @ALeague for their support in what has been a pretty tough week for me #gladitsover," he said.
Phoenix general manager David Dome told AAP the club was comfortable with the two-year ban and wanted to move on.
"It sends quite a strong message to the fans that this sort of thing won't be tolerated."
He could not remember a similar incident in A-League history.
Despite heftier penalties in overseas competitions for racial abuse, in the A-League context, he was confident it was a strong deterrent.
Immediately after the match, which Adelaide won 3-1, Ifill said a line had been crossed when he was racially abused.
"Bad times poor result and racist abuse from a very small minority of fans #nothappy," he posted on Twitter.
"It was a small minority no problem with a bit of banter but a line was crossed today."
South Australian police and security staff at Hindmarsh Stadium were made aware of the racial abuse, which came as Ifill was substituted in the 61st minute.
The FFA's code of behaviour says spectators must respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person regardless of their gender, ability, race, colour, religion, language, politics, national or ethnic origin.

Trouble With Number Twos? One Simple Step May Help
Posted 16 Oct 2017 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Oct. 16, 2017 – If you're constipated, try grabbing a small footstool before you plunk yourself down on the potty, a new study suggests. Most Westerners sit down on the proverbial throne the way they would sit on a chair, but a novel leg-lifting device offers an option that seems to encourage good bowel movements, researchers report. The footstool helps sitters assume a squat-like position while conducting their business. And that position appears to alter an individual's anatomical angle in a positive way. "A large portion of the world – including Asia, Africa, and [the] Middle East – utilize some form of squatting while having a bowel movement," explained study author Dr. Rohan Modi. In contrast, most people living in the developed countries "have largely transitioned to toilets," he noted. But for those struggling with chronic constipation, the footstool "had a positive ...

FDA Announces Recall of Some Liquid Pharmaceutical Products
Posted 16 Aug 2017 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 16, 2017 – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall of numerous liquid pharmaceutical products because of possible bacterial contamination that could cause severe infections in vulnerable patients. The drugs and dietary supplements, made by PharmaTech LLC in Davie, Fla., include liquid stool softeners, liquid vitamin D drops and liquid multivitamins marketed for infants and children, the agency said in a news release. Reports of the discovery of Burkholderia cepacia bacteria in both Diocto Liquid and Diocto Syrup prompted the voluntary recall by three companies that label PharmaTech products, the FDA said. The three companies are Rugby Laboratories, Major Pharmaceuticals and Leader Brands. "B. cepacia poses a serious threat to vulnerable patients, including infants and young children who still have developing immune systems," FDA Commissioner Dr. ... Read more

Health Tip: Help Manage Constipation
Posted 20 Apr 2017 by Drugs.com
-- Many lifestyle factors – such as diet, exercise and fluid intake – are associated with constipation. To help tame the problem, the Cleveland Clinic recommends: Drink two-to-four cups of water daily. Also drink warm liquids, particularly in the morning. Eat plenty of fruit (such as prunes) and vegetables. Eat bran cereals. Take a fiber supplement. Get regular exercise. Use a mild stool softener or laxative, but don't take it for longer than necessary (two weeks maximum). See your doctor if symptoms don't improve within three weeks. Read more

Health Tip: Laxatives Have Side Effects
Posted 8 Jun 2016 by Drugs.com
-- Laxatives can have unpleasant side effects, especially when overused. The American Academy of Family Physicians says possible problems associated with laxative use include: Abdominal cramps or nausea. Gas, diarrhea or bloating. Electrolyte imbalance, which can affect the muscles, nerves and organs. Those most at risk include children and people with kidney disease or diabetes. Muscle weakness or muscle spasms. Fatigue, confusion, headache or vomiting. Read more

Laxative Type Might Influence Colon Cancer Risk, Study Finds
Posted 8 Oct 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 8, 2014 – A new study suggests that the type of laxative a person takes might be a factor in their odds for colon cancer. The research indicates that fiber-based laxatives are associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer, while non-fiber laxatives are linked with a higher risk. The study could only show an association between laxative types and colon cancer risk, it could not prove cause-and-effect, and experts stress that more study is needed. Still, the researchers believe the findings are important because about 20 percent of Americans use laxatives. According to a team led by Jessica Citronberg, a predoctoral fellow at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, non-fiber laxatives are the most widely used in the United States and work by forcing the colon to contract. On the other hand, fiber-based laxatives boost the water content and bulk of the stool ... Read more

Experts Issue Guidelines for Treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Posted 8 Aug 2014 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Aug. 8, 2014 – Newly released guidelines for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome and a type of constipation known as chronic idiopathic constipation reveal a number of proven treatments for these two common conditions. "There's a greater variety of approaches which reflect a greater understanding of the disorders," said guidelines co-author Dr. Eamonn Quigley, chief of the division of gastroenterology and hepatology at Houston Methodist Hospital. "We now have a better opportunity to improve the lives of our patients," Quigley said. The guidelines are published in the August issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology. An estimated 5 percent to 15 percent of the world's population has irritable bowel syndrome, a condition that can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation, cramping and bloating, and gas. It can affect people at any age but is ... Read more

Constipation Treatments Not Equally Effective: Review
Posted 28 Jan 2013 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Jan. 28 – Some treatments are more effective than others for relieving constipation in seniors, according to a new review. And laxatives aren't always enough, researchers say. Constipation is common in seniors and can have serious health consequences and affect quality of life. Excessive straining in frail elderly people can cause them to faint and put them at risk of injury or falling, or restrict blood flow to the heart and brain. Chronic constipation can lead to fecal impaction, a large lump of hard stool that remains stuck in the rectum. Fecal impaction can cause nausea, pain and loss of appetite. "Given the growing proportion of older adults in North America, effective management of constipation by health care professionals will be increasingly necessary," Dr. Dov Gandell, of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, and colleagues wrote in an article appearing Jan. 28 ...

New Prep for Colon Screen Uses Four Pills, Not Liquid Laxative
Posted 31 Aug 2012 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Aug. 31 – Prepping for a "virtual colonoscopy" at the Mayo Clinic now only involves swallowing four cleansing tablets, rather than the large amounts of liquid laxative typically required, researchers report. This summer, Mayo embraced the tablet bowel prep as its standard of care for patients undergoing noninvasive colonography, which relies on a CT scan to generate a 3-D snapshot of the patient's colon and rectum. The four-tablet prep, which contains the laxative agent bisacodyl, would not sufficiently prepare patients for a standard colonoscopy, which involves the insertion of a tiny camera into the patient's large intestine for a real-time visual inspection of the region. The screenings are recommended for people over 50 for early detection of colon cancer. The colonography route would suffice for the vast majority of patients, the Mayo team says, raising the prospect that ... Read more

Inadequate Bowel Prep May Invalidate Colonoscopy
Posted 29 Mar 2012 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, March 29 – Doctors may fail to detect precancerous growths if patients' colons aren't adequately cleansed before having a colonoscopy, a new study warns. On the day before a colonoscopy, patients are instructed to stop eating solid food and to consume only clear liquids. They also drink bowel-cleansing mixtures to empty the colon. However, previous research suggests that up to one-quarter of colonoscopy patients fail to adequately cleanse their colons. The new study, from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, examined the potential consequences of poor bowel preparation. Researchers identified 373 patients who underwent a colonoscopy between 2004 and 2009, and had inadequate bowel preparation. Of the 133 patients who later had a second colonoscopy, nearly 34 percent had at least one precancerous growth detected in the repeat screening. Nearly one in five ... Read more

Screams rang out at a Southern California equestrian center Saturday when a rogue horse got loose, striking other horses and sending riders falling out of the saddles on its way out.
At least six people, including some children, were hurt when the horse ran loose on a trail at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center on Saturday about 11:43 a.m., according to the Burbank Police Department.

"I saw my kids fall off the horses, being dragged, my 6-year-old twins," a woman named Megan told NBC4.
"I fell back, I rolled off my horse," said her son, Thomas, who tried to hold on but was eventually thrown out of his saddle.
A horse got loose on a back trail at the center and struck other horses and riders as it ran away, said Burbank Police Sgt. Darin Ryburn.
"It was like pinballs," Megan said. "The horse just kept going. All of the horses started running and throwing riders off."
Six people - including at least two children - were taken to Providence St. Joseph Medical Center and the Los Angeles County Medical Center, police said. The victims had non-life-threatening injuries.
"About 15 horses came running towards me on my left, and a few of them didn't have riders so I knew we were really in trouble," rider Marian Hermansea said.

The horse was eventually contained, Ryburn said.
Police initially reported that seven people were injured but later revised the number of patients to six.
The equestrian center is located at 480 West Riverside Drive in Burbank.

Glendale, Ariz. • Jairus Byrd was limited in practice last week with a chest injury. He was full speed with an interception that made all the difference Sunday.
Byrd's second interception of the game set up Rian Lindell's 25-yard field goal 3:50 into overtime that gave the Buffalo Bills a 19-16 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday.
The loss ended Arizona's eight-game home winning streak.
Byrd picked off a pass from John Skelton, who had replaced the injured Kevin Kolb, and returned it 29 yards to the Arizona 6 to set up the winning kick.
Arizona's Jay Feely made a franchise-record 61-yard field goal with 1:09 left in regulation to tie it 16-16. But his 38-yard attempt to win it as the fourth quarter was tipped by Buffalo's Alex Carrington and careened off the left upright.
The Cardinals (4-2) lost their second in a row after a 4-0 start. The Bills (3-3) won after allowing 1,201 yards and 97 points in their previous two games.
The Cardinals went into overtime for the sixth time in their last nine home games and had won all of them until Sunday.
It looked like another stunning Arizona comeback when Feely, whose previous long was 55, nailed the 61-yarder, the third 60-yard plus kick in the league this season an NFL record.
The big kick came moments after Kolb, whose scrambles had been the biggest plays for Arizona's as-usual sputtering offense, was hit for his fifth sack and left with a rib and chest injury.
Enter Skelton, active for the first time since he sprained his left ankle in the season opener, clearing the way for Kolb to reclaim the starting job.
Skelton's fourth-down pass to Larry Fitzgerald got Arizona close enough to try the record kick, which cleared the crossbar with room to spare.
The Bills then punted, and in an attempt to keep the ball away from Arizona returner Patrick Peterson, Shawn Powell's 30-yard kick went out of bounds at the Cardinals 47. Skelton's 28-yard pass to Fitzgerald set up the 38-yard try. But Feely, who earlier made two from 49, was thwarted by Carrington's tip.
The Bills took the overtime kickoff, advancing to the Arizona 35 with the help of a pass interference penalty against Sam Acho. But Buffalo chose to punt. The ball nearly was downed at the 1-yard line, but was ruled a touchback, setting up the ball at the 20.
From there, Skelton's pass into traffic was intercepted by Byrd. Two plays later, Lindell had just his third field goal of the season and the Bills had gained some redemption following to miserable weeks.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, who grew up in nearby Gilbert as a Cardinals fan, completed 18 of 32 for 153 yards, but the Bills did most of their damage on the ground. C.J. Spiller carried 12 times for 88 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown run. Fred Jackson gained 53 yards in 16 attempts, with a 1-yard scoring run.
Kolb was 14 of 26 128 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He scrambled five times for 66 yards. Arizona's sputtering ground game, without Ryan Williams after he was knocked out for the season with a shoulder injury, got a surprising day from William Powell, who gained 70 yards on 13 carries.
Fitzgerald caught six passes for 93 yards, including a 9-yarder for a touchdown. Skelton, who beat out Kolb for the starting job in the preseason, was just 2 of 10 for 45 yards.
The Bills gave Arizona a quick opportunity when linebacker Daryl Washington stripped the ball from Fred Jackson on the first play from scrimmage and William Gay recovered. That set up Feely's 49-yard field goal.
The score went to an odd 3-2 when Kolb's offensive line collapsed again and he was sacked in the end zone for a safety. The Bills went 49 yards in 10 plays, converting three third downs, to go up 9-3 on Spiller's touchdown.
Arizona finally got going in the second quarter, and Kolb threw over the middle to Fitzgerald for a 9-yard touchdown that put the Cardinals ahead 10-9.

Confirmed out call stifles Cubs' late rally vs. Bucs
By Joe Popely / MLB.com
CHICAGO -- The Cubs were hoping a replay challenge could aid their comeback cause on a wacky play in the ninth inning Sunday against the Pirates, but to no avail.
With the Cubs down two runs, runners on the corners and one out, Nate Schierholtz shattered his bat on a pitch from Pirates closer Mark Melancon. Most of the bat went flying past Melancon in one piece, while the ball went to second baseman Josh Harrison, who was playing to the left of second base as part of a defensive shift.
Harrison's flip to a covering Jordy Mercer at second was too high, causing Mercer to leap for the ball and come back down on the bag in time to get Starlin Castro out. That brought Cubs manager Rick Renteria out of the dugout to challenge, but after a review of less than one minute, the call was confirmed.
A run scored on the play, but Melancon got Junior Lake to fly out to secure the Pirates' series-clinching, 2-1 victory.
"I've never been in the infield when so many bats ended up there the way they do now," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "To play through that … for Josh to stay with it and Jordy to be able to go up and come down in time to get the force."

After an hour there was finally some action.Read the rest at MaliciousMandy's LiveJournal. Also, here are a couple of set photos from Brie:
KStews vehicle was backed into the long drive way out of sight.
When it came up I video taped and it was Nikki (Rosalie) and KStew (Bella)
They rolled down the window and waved and said hi...one of the girls shouted to her about loving her movie "13" (I had *no* idea Nikki co-wrote it!?! I love this girl more and more each day!!! 13 is an amazing movie!!!)
she said thanks...very excitedly.. All very sweet and kind...
I'm blogging from my crackberry but promise to upload the video by Friday Night.
Soon after a bearded twitchy man (I call him "Shush" since he frequently comes over to shush the tweenagers) talked to the cop (they always have at least one on site)
The police Officer came and lectured us on being quiet, disturbing the peace is an arrestable crime, neighbours were complaining... Etc
He wasn't a dink-he was just letting us *ahem tweens* know the rules and to shhhhhhush!
We "experienced" stalkers took his lecture as a sign.. That we'd soon have a *very* good reason to be loud...
Our suspicions were true and up came a vehicle...
Cop was still in my view, unbrellas were wavering but I video taped...
In back seat
Drove by
After he was *just* far enough away to not have pix taken (and not be heard on my effing video) he rolled window down just a smudge and said "hi guys"
His quiet voice but distinct accent had us all in awe.

Okano, who is Awakawa's co-chair for the festival's cultural programming, said the festival has historically been a community event, and each area celebrates in its own unique way. In Palo Alto that means the signature Obon Odori dance, a dance that the temple's new reverend, Dean Koyama, said is the core of the festival.
"It came to be an event where those of us who are living will think about who we are grateful to and will remember the people that passed before us," Okano said. "So the dance also will commemorate lives past and appreciate the moment we are here."
The dance will be Sunday at 7:30 p.m.
It was originally called the "Good Harvest Dance" when dancers would call ancestral spirits to help with the harvest.
Arakawa said that the dance is an expression of gratitude towards family and ancestors who have shaped each individual's character. Circles in the dance symbolize giving life to memories, where one is connected to the living and the dead, she said.
The dance won't be the only spectacle this weekend. On Saturday, a reading, question-and-answer session and book signing will feature three authors: Susan Austin, author of the children's book "The Bamboo Garden"; Tom Graves, author and photographer for the portraits and stories in "Twice Heroes: America's Nisei Veterans of WWII and Korea"; and Naomi Hirahara, author of her detective series' latest installment "Strawberry Yellow: A Mas Arai Mystery."
The festival will also feature exhibits focused on bonsai (the art of growing miniature plants), suiseki (spiritual art with natural stones), ikebana (flower arrangements) and various other forms of art.
Both days will feature Taiko drums, Buddhist services by the new reverend, samurai and martial-arts demonstrations and numerous other musical performances.
"It gives us an opportunity to self-reflect," Arakawa said. "The way you learn about your religion is applying to your everyday life. We get a lot of opportunities to reflect on what we're doing and our actions."

Blunkett hails Hamza verdict in US
The conviction on terrorism charges of radical North London cleric Abu Hamza justifies the lengthy efforts made to extradite him from the UK, former home secretary David Blunkett said.
A federal court in New York found the preacher guilty of supporting terrorist organisations, including aiding a hostage taking in Yemen and seeking to set up an al-Qaida training camp in the US.
The Egyptian-born cleric, who spread violent messages at the Finsbury Park mosque following the attacks of September 11 2011, was tried under the name Mustafa Kamel Mustafa.
The 56-year-old preacher was jailed in the UK for seven years for soliciting to murder and inciting racial hatred in 2006 and first faced an extradition request from the Americans in 2004.
After a protracted legal battle he was extradited to the US in October 2012.
Mr Blunkett said: "This has been a very long journey to obtain justice, and to ensure that someone who has been so adept at avoiding the just penalty for his extensive activities is at last being brought to book.
"The verdict justifies the extensive measures over many years to ensure through his extradition that he should pay for the misery he brought to others."
Home Secretary Theresa May said: " I am pleased that Abu Hamza has finally faced justice. He used every opportunity, over many years, to frustrate and delay the extradition process.
"His conviction was facilitated by this government's tireless work to successfully remove him from the UK to face trial in October 2012."

I'm taking a Tech Detox for My 3-year-old
Take a Tech Detox for the Kids
I am taking the Causes.com pledge to unplug for the National Day of Unplugging for my 3-year-old. I already see how much my use of technology has impacted him. He walks around the house saying, "Where's my iPhone? I have a call in a minute." And he has two (fake) phones he carries around in his pockets in case an "important call" comes in. I know all too well whom he is modeling.
While I have a full-time job that very much involves technology and I cannot take the six-month digital detox that I envy Professor Jennifer Rauch for, I certainly can unplug for 24 hours on the National Day of Unplugging (NDU) on March 23-24, 2012, and work to make it a weekly ritual.
I've already been practicing. Yes, sometimes it's a pain not to have my phone on me (it took me a little longer during a recent unplugged weekend to find the Lego store with my son without Siri giving me directions), but it has yet to become an emergency situation. Remember the days when the hostess at a restaurant would come to tell you at your table that you had a phone call from home? Perhaps not as convenient as an immediate connection but how many times have you really had the babysitter call you while you were out on a date with a true emergency. It's never happened to me in my nine years as a parent. My last text from our babysitter was that my son was asking if he could watch a show. The answer was "no" before I left home and it was still "no" then. I doubt she would have called the restaurant to ask about that.
Most importantly, what my kids and my husband get from me when I'm unplugged is well worth any inconvenience that comes along with it.
Shutting off technology allows people the time to pause and realize what they are missing when they are Facebooking, Tweeting, texting and emailing. Although we are creating connections online, we are missing out on tuning in to our families, friends and the world around us.
The NDU's goal of unplugging to encourage a healthy and balanced lifestyle is rooted in the ancient notion of a day of rest. Although the NDU was inspired by a group of young Jews looking for a way to reinvent the Jewish Sabbath, it is intended for all people regardless of background — we believe that everyone needs a day of rest!
The non-profit create-tank, Reboot, developed the annual tech detox to encourage young, hyper-connected, and frequently frantic people to take a respite from all things digital.
We hope you'll consider signing off from technology for the National Day of Unplugging, sunset March 23 to sunset March 24, 2012. You can sign up for the movement at causes.com/unplug and receive ideas for what to do when you are unplugged at theundolist.com.

DELTONA, Fla. - A masked gunman followed a Deltona mother of three as she was driving home from Orlando and tried to carjack her in Volusia County while she was on the phone with 911, deputies said.
[AUDIO: Woman calls 911 as she's nearly carjacked]
The attempted carjacking occurred around 3 a.m. in Deltona.
According to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, the 44-year-old woman, who only wanted to be identified as Jennifer, said she was driving near the intersection of Tivoli Drive and Saxon Boulevard in Deltona when she noticed that a vehicle with its high-beam headlights on started following her. A short time later, the car's headlights turned off and the car continued to follow closely behind Jennifer's car, deputies said.
The Sheriff's Office said Jennifer drove toward her house but decided to keep going instead of stopping.
Around 3:15 a.m., Jennifer called 911 as she pulled up to the stop light at Providence Boulevard and Fort Smith Boulevard.
That's when she suddenly yelled to the dispatcher.
"He's trying to rob me! He's trying to rob me! He has a gun!" the woman told the 911 dispatcher.
The dispatcher replied, "Ma'am, drive."
Deputies said the man ordered her to get out of the car, but she sped away instead. She then went to a nearby convenience store and waited for deputies to arrive.
Jennifer described the man as 5 feet 2 inches tall with a small frame. She said he was wearing a red bandana over his face and had a black handgun. She said he was driving a small, low-rider car.
Jennifer told Local 6 News that she believes the assailant was a "professional" who will strike again.
She was still shaken from the incident and feels she was targeted because she is a woman and was alone.
"Someone in Deltona is prowling late at night looking for someone to rob or kill. I am very happy that he did not shoot that gun because I'd probably not be here right now talking to you. I'd be dead," she said.
According to the sheriff's report, when asked to fill out a sworn statement detailing the incident, the woman said, "This whole thing is a waste of time. Y'all ain't going to find him."
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida at 888-277-TIPS.

Q. Oracle,
Reading some of your answers, I think that Yellow is the most played song in the history of Coldplay's concerts.
Is there an album song that has never been sung live? If not, which is the least perfomed song?
I think you may be right, Miguel. Yellow must be the most performed Coldplay song over the past decade or so.
Twisted Logic from X&Y wasn't played live (not even on the Twisted Logic tour).
Aside from that, I'd say if we're going off songs that have been performed - but not often - Moving To Mars is probably the least performed.

League-leading FCD came back from two goals down to briefly equalize, before Seattle regained its two-goal cushion.
The opening goal came from a Dallas goal kick. Osvaldo Alonso headed it back the other direction, where Eddie Johnson burst between two defenders. The U.S. international flicked the ball past Raúl Fernández with the outside of his right boot a quarter hour into the match.
The Sounders doubled their lead after half an hour when Brad Evans sprung Dallas' high offside trap. Lamar Neagle rounded Fernaández and scored.
Dallas stunned the hosts by scoring two set piece in seven minutes. First, Kenny Cooper redirected a long Michel free kick with a glancing header to claw one back. Then Michel himself scored after the hour mark, notching an olimpico straight from a corner.
Parity lasted one minute. DeAndre Yedlin stole back the ball and fed Shalrie Joseph, who passed to Neagle. After holding off his marker, Neagle thread the ball through the defense. Johnson feigned to slip past Fernández and coolly finished.
With a quarter hour remaining, a high Blas Perez elbow caught Leo Gonzalez. Blood poured from the fullback's nose. Perez's card matched the red on Gonzalez's face.
Substitute Obafemi Martins finished off the scoring off another Evans assist.

Comments about Nino Wood Egg Shaker:
I purchased the larger version and love it. It's mellow and the tone is amazing. The wood also remains reasonably 'unsweaty' while playing.
Kids love it too. Larger size
made of wood
I've dropped it many times, no damage yet.
I expected to pay a bit more for the quality
Comments about Nino Wood Egg Shaker:
The Nino Wood Egg Shaker is well built, aesthetically pleasing, and comfortable to use. One should understand its application though (the product description will not tell you). It is for kids with parents who appreciate lower volume levels from their little musicians. The tone is very soft, warm, and QUIET. Imagine rice shaking around in a sandwich baggie. This is NOT to be used for any real live performance (possibly recording if you like the tone, I don't). It will not be picked up significantly through a microphone with even the smallest amount of competition. Go for the plastic ones for live percussion and get this one for your toddler's stocking ;)
Comments about Nino Wood Egg Shaker:
I purchased the small version of this shaker. It was definitely not what I was looking for. It barely makes any noise and you need a very very high studio quality mic to even remotely pick it up. So, like many other instruments of mine, I modified it. I drilled into it, took out the beads, and replaced them with beads from a plastic LP shaker. The noise increased, and the tone was exceptional. The wood feels great in your hand, but unless you have skills with a drill and sealant, go for a plastic egg.
I might buy one more of these wooden ones for my little cousin for the Holidays.
Comments about Nino Wood Egg Shaker:
not what I was looking for--just to quiet. The plastic ones are better for me.

Sandoval the center of quirky inning
Giants third baseman gets angry, makes fancy move
By Andrew Pentis / MLB.com
SAN FRANCISCO -- Pablo Sandoval had quite the adventurous fifth inning Wednesday in his team's 4-2 series finale victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Facing the Dodgers' James McDonald in the reliever's second inning of work, Eugenio Velez smacked a leadoff double and scored while upending catcher Russell Martin on Freddy Sanchez's ensuing single for a 1-0 lead. Martin gathered himself, then received a friendly pat from Velez after the play. Martin later said he didn't have a problem with Velez's slide. Sandoval, the next batter, was brushed back by a first-pitch fastball from McDonald that appeared to graze Sandoval's left elbow, prompting the Giants third baseman to stare out at the mound and raise his arms. Both teams' benches cleared, as Edgar Renteria (who got the day off Wednesday) led the Giants' apparent charge out to confront Martin. McDonald said, "He swung at the pitch. How bad could it have been?" Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp added, "If he doesn't want to be pitched inside, tell him not to hit .330." Sandoval said the ball definitely hit just below his elbow, and he tried to show the mark its impact left to the umpires, though they had already ruled it had nicked the knob of his bat. The plate appearance ended in a walk. "I was surprised," Sandoval said of the umpires' decision. "[But] that's what they saw." Nothing more than some pushing and shoving followed, though Sandoval, who turned 23 Tuesday, had to be restrained by home-plate umpire Paul Emmel. "I didn't want to [behave like] that," Sandoval said, adding he let himself get caught up in the "temper" of the game. "[I realized I] had to calm down." Giants manager Bruce Bochy, who watched the scene unfold on television after his second-inning ejection, said he didn't think McDonald was purposefully aiming to hit his No. 3 hitter. "I thought Pablo was ejected, and that would have been costly," Bochy said. Sandoval's interesting sequence didn't end there: Two batters later, Nate Schierholtz grounded into a potential inning-ending double play, but Sandoval stopped in between first and second base, evaded the tag of Juan Castro while doing the splits and found second base safely. Castro appeared to swipe at Sandoval with his glove, while the ball was in his right hand. All that, and Sandoval only traveled 180 feet. "I've never been in a game like that," Sandoval said, smiling. "It was my first time."

Blessed Thistle
Above: Three images of the blessed thistle (Cnicus benedictus). The low stature and unremarkable appearance of this plant belie its medieval reputation as a plague cure and a panacea. The lax stems and spiny, light green leaves are covered with a fine, white down; the spines that subtend the developing flowerhead are a protection against grazing animals. The yellow flowers of this annual thistle appear in July; once the seeds have set, the plant dies. Photographs by Corey Eilhardt.
The humble Cnicus benedictus, a plant of waste ground and stony soil native to the Mediterranean, was a medieval panacea whose reputation survived undiminished into the Renaissance. The sixteenth-century English herbalist John Gerard notes that this wild medicinal plant of southern Europe was "diligently cherished in gardens in these Northern parts." Gerard also attests that the herb was known everywhere in Europe by the medieval Latin name Carduus benedictus; the common names by which it is known today preserve this designation: blessed or holy thistle in English, benedikten distel in German; chardon b??nit or chardon santo in French, cardo benedetto in Italian, cardo bendito in Spanish.

The Seed-Saving Gardener
Beautiful Blue Pod Capucijner (Pisum sativum arvense, var. 'Blue Pod Capucjiner') seedpods and seeds. All photographs by the author
How many of you gardeners out there take the time to save your garden seed? The allure of planting seeds in the spring is easy to understand, but do you linger over drying seedpods later in the season, waiting to harvest next year's generation? Seed saving may seem like an onerous counterpart to seed sowing, but the task is endlessly rewarding. It's not just about securing a free source of new plants for the following year or two; there are other benefits to reap, so to speak. By selecting seed from among the garden's most healthy specimens you promote added vigor in subsequent generations of plants. You get to witness the often overlooked beauty of a plant engaged in seed production. And, really, is there anything more satisfying than sowing the seed you collected from your own garden? For the seed-saving gardener, it doesn???t get much better than that.

text: I have a "Twinmax Carburettor Balancer" that I used on my R1100. It is, as most of you know, "electronic". The balancing went okay, and it certainly improved the vibration levels on the engine, both at idle and running down the road. But it still seems like it could be smoother at around 4000 rpm and up. I am usually running it at about 3000 since it seems to prefer that level. What is the feeling on the TB sync tool that will do the best, most accurate job? I'm wondering if "electronics" can take the place of a more mechanical design model. Or is the Twinmax as good as you can get? Thanks.

Hairopoulos: Finally given chance to speak, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel proves his poise isn't limited to pocket
When Johnny Manziel plays video games, if he's to create a quarterback capable of winning the Heisman Trophy as a freshman, he'll opt for these measurements — 6-6, 230 pounds.
"I definitely didn't make him my size," Manziel said Monday in the first interview of his standout season. "Typically, I'd make him look like somebody like Cam Newton."
Can't blame him. Manziel, the Texas A&M redshirt freshman quarterback and Heisman frontrunner, has proved nearly impossible to replicate. Listed at 6-1, with his innate ability to scramble out of trouble, he's the most-talked about player in college football. But before Monday, Manziel hadn't uttered a word to the media because of first-year coach Kevin Sumlin's rules silencing young players.
So more than 100 media members eagerly called in to a national teleconference to get their first audio to go with all the "Johnny Football" they've see this season. He'll meet with local media in person Tuesday.
As for that nickname that's caught so much fire that the Manziel family is working with lawyers and A&M to trademark it …
"It was something that started to be thrown out a bit when I first got here to A&M," said Manziel, who impressed Monday with his poise. "It's something that's funny, something that people here in Aggieland enjoy. It kind of fits."
Manziel embraces the nickname, but still sounded a bit surprised about the fuss. He's asked for his autograph and to be photographed every day.
"It's extremely different for me," he said. "I'm a small-town kid from Kerrville, Texas. I don't see myself as Johnny Football. I still see myself as Johnathan Manziel."
Manziel said these days he's more inclined to be a homebody, more aware of his surroundings. It's a maturity that also must stem from having been arrested in College Station's bar district this summer for fighting and presenting fake IDs.
Since then, Manziel has rocketed to stardom, leading the Aggies to a 10-2 record in their first season in the SEC. Along the way, he only added to his emerging image by rescuing a black cat from busy Wellborn Road (advertised by Manziel's Twitter feed) and for wearing a Scooby-Doo costume on Halloween.
No worries, we have answers to both pressing questions. The kitty was sent to the animal shelter; several other teammates dressed up, he pointed out, to get a break from the grind of the season.
Here's what else we learned about Manziel:
His left knee, injured in last week's win over Missouri, is fine. It was a scary "tweak," more than anything serious.
Manziel's father, Paul, talks with A&M's only Heisman winner, John David Crow, at every A&M game.
Manziel's favorite plays this season include the winning touchdown pass to Malcome Kennedy on a corner route in the upset of then No. 1-Alabama, along with when he made a circle, even going backward, before rushing into the end zone in the rout of Arkansas.
When he's doing his scrambling thing out there, he said he's only thinking "Let's score a touchdown." Fittingly, Manziel has looked up to the games of Michael Vick, Doug Flutie and John Elway.
As for the possibility of wining the Heisman — as well as the rest of A&M's success this season — Manziel said he never predicted it going this far. He said outsiders had a list of things A&M wouldn't be able to accomplish in its first SEC season.
"I don't think I ever really envisioned how big the season would be for us," Manziel said, describing the Heisman possibility as a dream.
"We continued to progress, and we really saw we could hang in this league," Manziel said.
Johnny Football on Monday proved his coach right. Even with the Heisman so close, there's no stage yet too big for Manziel.

Q. Is it illegal to have all car windows tinted, except for the front windshield? If this is illegal, how can I report an offender? What information would I provide?
– Jeannette Lee, La Habra
A. Factory-installed glass generally has acceptable tinting, Jeanette, but anything applied to the two front side windows and the windshield usually has to be colorless, according to the California Highway Patrol.
You can call the CHP to report offenders, or if you're driving around your town, call the La Habra Police Department, said La Habra police Sgt. Jim Tigner. Provide a description of the car, where you saw it and the license-plate number if possible. Most police departments and CHP offices are also available to examine your windows to see if they comply with state laws.
"We have to go by the (state) Vehicle Code, but each officer uses discretion whether they stop the car for this," Tigner said. "It's a safety issue for drivers who might not be able to see oncoming traffic or pedestrians, and it's also a safety issue for law enforcement officers needing to see who's driving the car."
Q. I was just wondering when all of the detour signs left over from the 91 freeway construction in Anaheim Hills will be removed? Not only are they an eyesore, but non-locals still think they need to take the detours, including some of my friends who were visiting from out of town. Also, will the on-ramps and off-ramps at Imperial Highway and Weir Canyon Road/ Yorba Linda Boulevard be re-landscaped anytime soon? The vegetation was destroyed by the construction.
– Carrie Swinn, Anahiem Hills
A. You might not see it, Carrie, but the 91 freeway-widening project will go on for at least a few more weeks, said Caltrans spokeswoman Yvonne Washington. Most of the work is being done at night, so the detour signs need to be accessible.
"We are eager to remove the signs and maintain open space along this travel way," Washington said.
A separate landscaping project for the 91 freeway, between the 55 freeway and the 241 toll road, is planned for the fall, Washington said. There will be minimal closures, mostly for equipment delivery and removal. Best of all: The landscaping activity won't require detours, Washington said.
