Happy Easter to all my readers!!! Just to be a little different today I thought I would do a 'Bit n Bobs' style post of all the chocolate goodies I picked up in my favourite food retailer last week - Marks & Spencer. As you will see below these aren't full in depth reviews, but hey!? Who wants to get too serious on a day like today.
Marks & Spencer Chicks & Bunnies
Both of these mini chocolate varieties came foil wrappers, which were packaged in 65.0g nets. The 'Bunnies' were the simpler product out of the two, and were just 'rabbit shaped milk chocolate pieces'. The 'Chicks' you see on the left had a little more to them, and were described as 'milk chocolate with a soft chocolate centre'. Given their simplicity and smallness I couldn't see the point giving them each a score out of 10. Suffice to say they were both made with 'okish' standard chocolate - i.e. not great but passable. To give you some sort of gauge on the quality they were probably just a touch more creamy than the sugar filled rubbish you get with a lot of the big, hollow Easter eggs millions will be tucking in to today.
Marks & Spencer Bubbly Bunny
What a shame I picked this Bubbly Bunny up a few months late to be included in the 2010 Battle of the Bunnies (See HERE). This 23.0g choco-wabbit came described simply as a 'aerated milk chocolate bunny', and came packaged in a small film bag. Out of it's wrapper (that had no air holes in!!! How did it survive!???) the bunny shape was pretty intricate and I was impressed by the inner constituents which still looked pretty dense despite the large array of air pockets. In terms of chocolate quality the taste seemed a touch creamier than the smaller chocolates above, however it was still very sugary and probably only for people that enjoy their chocolate quite sweet. I wouldn't rank this bunny in the same league as the Cadbury Caramel or MaltEaster bunnies, but it holds it's own and I am sure not too many would turn their noses up at the prospect of tucking into one of these this Easter weekend.
7.6 out of 10
Marks & Spencer Gorgeously Gooey Egg
Out of everything on offer today this was the one that caught my eye right away. This M&S Gorgeously Gooey Egg constituted of a 'milk chocolate egg filled with a vanilla fondant centre' and weighed a respectable 33.0g. Now I have touched on the M&S milk chocolate enough already so lets cut right to the chase of the vanilla fondant filling. Unfortunately, whilst it looked appetising with it's viscous yellow coloured look, it neither smelt or tasted all that inspiring. The centre offered nothing in relation to any sort of vanilla flavouring, which was disappointing considering it was promised. In reality it tasted rather like the Cadbury Creme Egg fondant filling i.e. pure sugar. Now when you are Cadbury and have a more distinct, nostalgic tasting outer chocolate this is a little easier to get away with, but unfortunately the chocolate on offer here was neither of them. This wasn't an awful chocolate egg, but it was very much a case of sounding better than it was.
7.2 out of 10
Marks & Spencer Rattle & Roll Egg
Who remembers the Kinnerton Shake 'ems egg I reviewed back in February!? Well some bright spark at M&S thought it would be a good idea to have a comparable product on offer in their range this year. The proposition of 'a milk chocolate egg filled with chocolate pearls' just so happened to be just as weak as Kinnerton's offering, though the milk chocolate was possibly just a touch less sugary on balance. Similarly to what I found in the Kinnerton egg the inner candy pieces simply sucked big time! I know this is a product aimed for kids, but surely even they are going to want mum and dad to buy them a Cadbury Creme Egg rather than one of these bad boys. If you happen to come in to one of the possession of these in the next few days I would try playing a sneaky bit of swapsies with your family or friends :D
5.8 out of 10
Well this wasn't the best selection of chocolates to showcase to you all on Easter Sunday but they were all at least good looking, harmless Easter offerings. Hopefully by the time you have read this post today you will be ill at the thought of eating anymore of the chocolate egg you got given this weekend :D ... let me know what you got and what you gifted.

The Clock Strikes…. the return of someone you've never heard of….
By John A. Short and Vince Danks. Based on "The Clock" created by George Brenner
Interesting stuff here, as John A. Short and artist Vince Danks plunder the public domain to bring back an obscure, pretty much forgotten hero, a character predating Superman by some eighteen months, the first of the masked comic book heroes, and an obvious link between the pulps and comic books.
It's perhaps surprising that he's not more widely known, but because the character's fallen into disuse he's up for general, public domain use. And that's where Short and Danks pick the character up. Thankfully, Short's decided to resist the urge to tinker that much with what I imagine are the basics of the character. No modern updating, no post-modernism, just a straight tale of cops, crooks, femme fatales, seedy joints, and smart mouthed detectives, in oh so suitable black and white, and a mysterious vigilante type with a shadow in place of his face, a source of impossible rumour and speculation:
The cop's walked into what he imagines is a simple enough mob-war. There are leads, there are bodies, there are informants, and a femme fatale. There was always going to be a femme fatale. And behind it all the inevitable meeting with The Clock looming closer and closer…
Now, in all honesty, there's nothing out of this world about the story, it's just your basic cop investigates suspected mob-war killings, gets sucked into the search for The Clock sort of thing. Seen it many times before, it's been done for decades, and this thin 22-pager is hardly out to reinvent the genre. But in some ways that's not the point. This is all about mood and style, not really about story.
And Short pretty much gets it right. Sure, the cop has a couple of clunky lines, but more often than not we're deep in classic Chandler / Hamnett territory here. Story may be slight, but the mood is pretty much spot on.
Now, if you've followed the blog for any length of time, you'll remember my deep, abiding love of Harker by Roger Gibson and Vince Danks.
So it should hardly come as a shock to discover that I think Danks' art works so bloody well here, suitably slightly darker and noir than over on Harker, but as always… gorgeous. Fantastic buildings, beautiful street scenes, even great carpet. And equally gorgeous whether drawing dead bodies or very alive and lithe ones…. femme fatale indeed, as our police lieutenant is about to find out…..
So 22-pages of Short and Danks working out a little wish fulfilment to do a good old fashioned noir detective story. It's not that filling, a mere snack of a thing perhaps, but it looks lovely, and Short doesn't waste much time getting through as many stereotypes of the genre as possible.
Worth buying, if only to convince the pair that we'd love to see them spend more time, and more pages on this character.
You can buy The Clock Strikes from the Kult Creations website.

Ledger's family 'proud and excited' by Oscar nod
PERTH, Australia (AP) -- Heath Ledger's family said Friday they were "proud and excited" by his posthumous Academy Award nomination, but that it could not heal the pain caused by his untimely death. Exactly one year after he died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, Ledger was nominated for best supporting actor for his portrayal of deranged criminal mastermind the Joker in the Batman movie "The Dark Knight." "To us ... it seems like merely yesterday, and we are all still nursing broken hearts," Kate Ledger, the actor's sister, said Friday. She and Ledger's two other sisters, Ashleigh Bell and Olivia Ledger, read from a prepared statement to reporters Friday at one of the actor's favorite places, picturesque Cottesloe Beach near his hometown of Perth. The family then held a memorial lunch at a restaurant overlooking the beach. "Although we would love to have him here with us, we are so proud and so excited on his behalf," Bell said. "In Heath's words, he had the time of his life portraying the Joker and said that it was the most fun he'd ever had working on a film," Bell said. Ledger, who was 28 when he died, was nominated along with Josh Brolin for "Milk," Robert Downey Jr. for "Tropic Thunder," Philip Seymour Hoffman for "Doubt" and Michael Shannon for "Revolutionary Road." Many expect Ledger to win when the awards are handed out Feb. 22. If he does he would become only the second actor to posthumously win an Oscar, following Peter Finch for 1976's "Network." Bell praised Michelle Williams, Ledger's former fiancee and the mother of his daughter, Matilda, whom she called a blessing. "What an unbelievable legacy he has left for Matilda and our family," Bell said. "We will take this opportunity today to honor his wonderful life and take comfort in knowing Heath will continue to touch future generations through this amazing art form."

Kevin Brennan: I apologise for being late; we were speaking of fiddling while things are burningand I was caught up in the House of Lords fire drill.
My constituents will welcome my hon. Friend's announcement. Does he agree that the Government are determined actively to create a culture of work in Wales, which contrasts with previous Administrations, who regarded unemployment as a price worth paying for economic stability? Does he agree that this Government's approach is much better?
Mr. Touhig: I agree entirely with my hon. Friend, and can tell him that 1,210 young people have joined the new deal in his constituency and 364 are now in unsubsidised jobs. As a result of our initiatives 36,000 young people in Wales have joined the new deal. Since its introduction there has been a 65 per cent. drop in unemployment among 18 to 24-year-olds. We can be proud of that record, unlike the Opposition, which never supported the new deal in the first place.

The Final Hours of Tomb Raider Continues its Behind the Scenes Exploration of Telling Lara's Origin Story
Posted: 08:23AM
Author: edwardquilo
In continuation of Crystal Dynamics' The Final Hours video documentary about its Tomb Raider reinvention, the devs talk in greater detail about just how much of an ambitious project it is to breath new life into the precociously young Lara Croft. A few lucky fans got to toy with a playable build of the game at Comic-Con 2012, which Crystal Dynamics' Karl Stewart notes as a slightly nerve-wracking experience considering its the first time the game gets showed off to the public. Tomb Raider lead writer Rhianna Pratchett also shares some insight into creating the identity of Lara, who she sees as a girl who's shaken to her very core as she struggles to make sense of the impossible odds that are thrown against her. We still have some very long months to wait before we get to play as the beautiful (but as-yet inexperienced) adventurer, but you'll also get the chance to nab some cool bonuses such as an in-game skin, an art book and a digital copy of the Final Hours series for your Kindle Fire, if you pre-order on Amazon.

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
Witholding sex is one of those things, like using a tiny bell when you are sick, that has become a sitcom staple but never actually happens in real life. Except that apparently it's happening now in Colombia, where The Daily Mail is reporting that a bunch of women are witholding sex to pressure their men into lobbying the government to fix their damn road. Why they don't just lobby the government their own selves, I am unsure, but maybe women have no say in road politics in South America.
The logic, it is so flawed. First of all, we must assume that all men looooooove having sex all the time and that all women are just fine and dandy without it, when actually we have heard that some women these days actually like to get it on. What? I know! Modern times!
And some men are not actually straining at the leash in desparation to sex us madly every second. In fact, my boyfriend has been witholding sex from me for years; it's called being a long-term relationship. Ba-dum-ching!
I'm not one of those "perfect world" feminists who thinks women should never use their bodies to make things happen. That is, in a perfect world, women wouldn't have to use their sexuality to get a job/attention/cash money, but in this world, we are often disadvantaged, discriminated against and exploited, so you'll never catch me begruding a sister for getting hers where she can. We use the tools we have.
But I just don't think withholding sex is an effective strategy. In fact, I think having sex with someone (a government official, perhaps?) might be more effective in this situation.
I am trying to imagine a scenario in which I withold sex in order to get my boyfriend to do something. It's hard, because he is a nice person, so I'm pretty sure he'd do it just because I asked him to, and not because he is scared of a punani drought. But if I did threaten to lock it up, I'm pretty sure he would be unimpressed. And that like 3 days later, I'd be all, "Can we have sex again?" and he'd go, "I never said we couldn't," real calmly.
So, really? Has anyone actually successfully done this ever?

Not-so-lucky Lottery Ticket co-star arrested
Actress Teairra Mari was arrested in Los Angeles on Friday morning (19Aug11) for allegedly attacking a police officer.
The pretty star, who appeared opposite rapper Bow Wow in last year's (10) Lottery Ticket film, lashed out while she was being arrested for a DUI, according to TMZ.com.
The officer noticed "signs of intoxication" as he quizzed the 23 year old after she had rear-ended a car on her way home from a night out.
The police report suggests Mari became "combative" with the arresting officer, who suffered a minor cut to his hand during the incident.
Mari now faces multiple charges, including DUI and assault on a police officer.
At press time the actress was still in police custody.

ALEX Salmond's currency chief has admitted an independent Scotland might have to give up the pound.
Crawford Beveridge, who advises the Scottish government on fiscal policy, said it was "possible" the rest of the UK would refuse to share sterling with a separate Scottish state.
He also said that it would only be possible to use the pound without a formal deal as a "transitional" measure and ruled out joining the Euro.
That means the only option left to an independent Scotland would be to launch its own currency.
"A freely floating Scottish currency could be established," he said. "The value of the Scottish currency would move in line with demand and supply in international markets. New Zealand and Sweden both broadly operate such a regime.
"A free-floating currency would provide control of monetary and exchange rate policy. In theory, this would provide the maximum degree of autonomy."
Chancellor George Osborne has ruled out sharing the pound with an independent Scotland, insisting that it wouldn't be in the interests of either parties.
Many senior figures in the wider Yes campaign want an independent Scotland to set-up its own currency if Scots vote to go it alone.
But Beveridge's comments in a speech in Glasgow are the clearest sign yet the move is being planned for by the SNP Government.
"In summary Scotland does have viable options if politics trumps economics," he said.
"The period of transition will be key. But a clear plan which supported financial stability, maintained certainty and confidence is entirely doable."
But Salmond last night insisted he would push for a deal on the pound.
He said: "I welcome the Fiscal Commission's confirmation today that a currency union remains the best option for both Scotland and the rest of the UK.
"Indeed, the proposals they have put forward have been greatly enhanced and strengthened by recent developments and, while the Fiscal commission demonstrate that other viable options are available for Scotland, keeping our pound as part of a formal currency union is the clear and best way forward."
Meanwhile, former Scottish Enterprise chief executive Jack Perry insisted that a currency union "would not work".
Speaking at a pro-UK Better Together event he added: "No economic decision is more important for a country than what currency to use.
"So it is deeply worrying for business and families in Scotland that so near to the referendum vote there is still no certainty about what currency Scotland would use."
Labour's Douglas Alexander MP said: "Today was supposed to be the start of Alex Salmond's fight back on Plan B.
"Instead his chief currency advisor has publically accepted that a currency union is not in the gift of Alex Salmond.
"The First Minister's chief currency advisor also admitted that an independent Scotland might end up using a foreign currency for only six months. Scots deserve to know what happens after that. Is it the Euro or a separate currency? We need to know Plan B.
"With just days before the people of Scotland start voting, Alex Salmond is a man without a plan."

(Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) class has come to New Holland-Middletown! Already a 1:1 school (every student has their
own iPad or Chromebook laptop) for over two years, the first Google Apps for
Education district in Logan County is now offering a semester-long STEM class
to district middle schoolers.
Miss Hannah
Durchholz, Junior High Science and Math teacher at New Holland-Middletown, is
taking advantage of this semester-long enrichment course to provide students with
hands-on learning, real-world connections, and creative approaches to
problem-solving. Using innovative
equipment such as a Makey-Makey station where students program movements in a
code, all while obeying laws of electricity grounding and insulation. In the provided picture, students wrote a code
for Pac-Man's movements, based on which students' hands were grounded from the
current supplied by the Makey-Makey, which was plugged into the students'
laptop. For example, to move Pac-Man to
the right, one particular student had to be "high-fived" while in order to move
him down, a different student had to have their hand clapped. While not overly complex to play, the
creation of this "code" by NH-M 6th graders showed how engaged
students could become by providing their own direction for their learning.
As the
semester continues, students will be designing and engineering by utilizing
TinkerCAD software and 3-D printers, as well as writing lessons for Hour of
Code, which occurs in mid-December and other activities associated with making.

Photography is my passion. I have loved it since I recieved my first camera for my 13th birthday. For the past 15 years I have had the pleasure of profesionally shooting weddings; engagement sessions; portraits for seniors, families, and precious little ones; and a variety of other special occasions. My favorite part of working with each client is discovering their unique personality, creating a "feel " for the session using out-of-the-ordinary settings and props to create a portrait that perfectly express who they are; whether we choose to shoot for the natural, everyday beauty they possess, or to create an alternate setting that transports us to another time.

Change is not always necessary, and it definitely isn't always good.
I advocate against haphazard and random change or change just for the sake of it. Instead, I recommend working with leaders and executives to perform a thorough analysis of pressing issues and organizational strategy and, if so deemed, formulating global change efforts that will positively impact the organization and its stakeholders.
If you are a change consultant or leader, you likely know that successful change efforts need to strike an appropriate balance between stability and adaptability.
As humans, we can change – but not too much too fast or too often. Fail to change often enough or during the right times and you die or become irrelevant, but change too fast or too often and your efforts are not sustained or, even worse, they just fail to take hold at all.
How Can We Strike The Right Balance?
The Knowledge Already Exists. We have the right information. There are more than enough executive training and academic programs delivering solid, valuable information on how to manage and sustain change in large and small organizations. I assert that a lack of knowledge is no longer a problem; however, confidence, commitment, and implementation are.
The right balance is struck when you apply a change management methodology that supports and advances your ability to anticipate, plan and respond to change by using a methodical and streamlined approach. If you're unsure of how solid your methodology is or don't have one at all, I am sharing a proven one with you. And if you have a solid change methodology, check your process against these seven steps. Are you skipping any steps?
Seven (7) Step Change Management Methodology to Navigate and Sustain Organizational Change
1. There has to be a real meaningful focus on defining the "right" outcomes and dedicating the resources for data collection and analysis. Data, in and of itself, is of no real value. But when leaders turn that data into intelligence that can be used to support decisions and guide outcome definition, we are really doing great work.
Perform a thorough diagnosis and analysis to determine the pain that is expected to be alleviated by the change intervention (symptom-based) or the expected benefits to the organization and its people (strategic-based). Many well-meaning professionals drop this ball. This involves a lot of upfront work that people all too often decide to skip. When this happens, it is akin to setting out on a trip to some destination without knowing where you are even going. And even when one argues clarity on the destination, there has to be a case made for (1) why you are going (2) when you need to be there (3) what you hope to do when you get there and (4) what will indicate success (the metrics and standards).
As organization development leaders and change consultants, we have to resist the temptation to give our clients the quick fix or even offer it as a means to get the contract or appease the company sponsor. Whether you are an internal or external consultant, tell leaders and teams the truth and make it doable, but tell them the truth about the hard work that will need to take place and the specific changes that will need to be made to get them where they say they want to go.
Sadly, for several reasons, these aspects are altogether skipped or minimally addressed. Consequently, the changes continue to fail in that they are not sustained even after they do initially take hold.
2. Give internal and external stakeholders the WIIFM. We must give people the answer to "What's in it for me?" Only then will they help the change agent with the WIIFO (what's in it for the organization). Every reputable change management consultant and leader out there agrees that we will fail if we don't secure proper buy in and investment from the internal and external stakeholders. We must give people the WIIFM upfront to secure this buy in.
3. Establish "owners' for the change effort and outline a communication strategy that addresses how to communicate up, down, and across.
Much gets lost in translation, and when people don't feel their leaders are being transparent they will just MSU (make stuff up). By assigning change owners at several levels and encouraging transparent communications, we increase the likelihood of success.
4. Get up to speed on the six (6) daunting emotions that people experience before and while transitioning through change.
Human dynamics can get in the way. As we go through the process of instituting change – whether strategic-based change (when there is no identifiable pain to be alleviated – proactive) or symptom-based change (when there is identifiable pain to be alleviated or problem to be solved – reactive), we experience feelings and emotions that need to be understood and addressed. Fail to give these emotional responses the proper attention and success becomes fleeting at best and elusive at worst.
Here are the emotions/feelings and the underlying drivers and thoughts…
Fear – The devil I know is better than the one I don't…
Withdrawal – These changes won't affect me; I'll just stay over here and do my thing, and so he avoids seeking any help.
Denial – They have been talking about doing this for years, but this will soon pass and things will continue as usual.
Resistance – The uncertainty and unpredictability is too uncomfortable. I really just don't want to do this.
Sabotage – I've been loyal to this company; how do think they can do this to me? This frustration leads one to champion for systems or organizational failure.
Focus on the loss – Things won't be the same around here. We will not be able to implement the change; it doesn't benefit me anyway. As such, this person is stuck focusing on what she is losing.
It is incumbent upon those leading the change effort to listen to and see what is happening. Who are those supporting the change and who are not? There needs to be a plan to properly address and segregate these three groups in a meaningful way (1) champions/owners, (2) neutralists, and (3) resisters.
Regarding resisters, you will need to determine and address the underlying emotions (listed above) and cause(s) of resistance. There are myriad reasons why people continue to resist, and these reasons should be solicited.
However, after all efforts have been made to bring resisters on board and they still are intent on resisting and maybe even sabotaging the effort, hard decisions need to made about what to do with these people.
We also cannot forget about the neutralists out there. While they may not hurt, the people on the fence are not helpful either. When going through a change process, we want as many supporters as possible.
5. Subscribe to the open-systems model. Closed systems are defined as those with limited response to and interaction with the external environment whereas open systems (whole systems) are defined as those that exist within a larger environment and are positively or negatively affected by how they respond to and interact with that environment.
Assess impending changes based on their impact to the entire organization, process and/or the interconnected processes in the system. Focus on a systematic cultural shift in the "way we do things around here."
The likelihood of success is significantly increased when the whole system is considered (the sum of its internal parts as well as the external and environmental factors and forces impacting it). Within the auspices of this OD philosophy, organization systems seek to transform inputs (e.g. information, people, and technology) into outputs (e.g. products, goods, and services) by managing, coordinating, and organizing processes and evaluating and responding to consumer feedback and needs.
To this end, the change team must understand the importance of remaining adaptable to its environment and demonstrate a willingness to modify transformative processes accordingly to ensure value delivery.
6. Apply fluid processes and adapt and/or course correct as necessary. It is very important to really "see" what is happening and "listen" to what is being communicated before, during and after the change. Regardless of the chosen change methodology, it is ever important to remain flexible and apply a fluid process that aligns and fits with the specific organization and its people.
7. Assess your own competence and commitment levels and those of the change sponsor, the individual who initially advocated for and championed the change in the first place. If/when this person flames out, failure will be hard to escape.
Henry Ford said "You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do." The only thing that matters is what we actually do.
Change resisters are banking on our complacency, lack of commitment, and/or lack of competence as a way to ensure they don't ever really have to change anything at all. As the leader, check your own commitment level.
Continuous improvement and change management are pivotal to organizational success. This is true for the organization and its associates, employees, and team members, and it is why success is contingent upon the learning and growth that occurs for the organization as a whole and each of its stakeholders respectfully.
You tell me –
- How can you apply all or any of these steps to navigate and sustain organizational change more effectively?
- What emotions have gotten in the way of implementing organizational change, and what do you believe was underneath the emotions?
- Does your methodology align with this one? What would you add?

Middle Smithfield Township's annual Spring Clean Up will be on May 1st and 2nd. Our Freecycle Event will be the following week on May 7th, 8th, and 9th. Residents can drop off their gently used items with the knowledge that they won't go to a landfill – but one of their neighbors or a charitable organization instead! Everyone wins – the Spring Clean Up costs the taxpayers less money (fewer dumpsters), Pennsylvania landfills don't fill up as quickly, and residents and local charities receive needed goods at a price that can't be beat – FREE!
Here's the schedule for the Spring Clean up and Freecyle Event:
In the weeks following the Freecycle event, local charitable organizations such as Bushkill Outreach, the Salvation Army, Women's Resources of Nassau County can come and pick up whatever is left over. Any books left in good condition will be held by the township and delivered to the Hughes Library for their annual book sale in June.
Spring Clean Up costs $5 per car load (slightly more for larger vehicles – see the attached flier for details) and tires disposal starts at $4 per each tire. Middle Smithfield will accept bulk items, furniture, toys, washers, dryers, bicycles, lawn mowers, water heaters, batteries, nails, screws, empty paint cans – just no household garbage, construction debris or hazardous materials.

Disetronic was founded in Europe in 1984 by Willy and Peter Michel, two brothers who believed that diabetes care should be improved. These visionary men began with the goal of developing a small, top-quality insulin pump that would offer diabetics a better quality of life. Disetronic rapidly became one of the leading manufacturers of insulin pumps and infusion sets for diabetics, expanding from Switzerland into Germany, and, in 1991, entering the United States market.
In 2003, the Roche healthcare group acquired the infusion systems division of Disetronic. Roche has historically been one of the top manufacturers of glucose monitoring systems, so tapping into Disetronic's expertise in insulin delivery systems was a natural fit for the company.
Disetronic strives to develop safe, high-quality products that are easy to use. One of Disetronic's top sellers at ADW Diabetes® is the Disetronic Accu-Chek Ultraflex II infusion set. This infusion set is designed to work with all standard luer lock insulin pumps, and it is so easy to use that no insertion device is needed. Connecting and disconnecting is easy - just one click and it is ready to go. ADW Diabetes® carries a number of Disetronic infusion sets, including the Accu-Chek Rapid-D infusion set and the Accu-Chek Tender I infusion set.
Disetronic also manufactures high quality supplies for insulin pumps. Refillable insulin cartridges, available in either glass or plastic, are both sterile and easy to fill. Each cartridge holds 3mL of insulin. The D-TRONplus glass cartridges are available in a box of five, while the H-TRONplus plastic cartridges are packaged in a box of 25. Both types of cartridges are designed for use with insulin pumps designed by Disetronic: the Accu-Check D-TRONplus and the H-TRON plus models.
Many of Disetronic's accessories for insulin pumps are available at ADW Diabetes®. Pump adapters, such as the and the H-TRONplus adapters, prevent draining when you replace the insulin cartridge of your insulin pump. A built-in pressure valve on each adapter ensures a successful connection between the insulin pump and the infusion set - and helps keep the contents of the insulin cartridge sterile. In addition, Disetronic's D-TRONplus Power Pack helps balance the air pressure in your insulin pump and creates a secure seal for optimal efficiency.

10-year-old allegedly tells cops mom's "crazy" driving endangered her life
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A 10-year-old girl who was riding as a passenger in her mother's car allegedly told police officers that she feared for her life due to her mom's "crazy" driving.
It happened Tuesday night, just after 10:00, according to an arrest report.
Police say 35-year-old Shannon A. Marcum was seen driving her 2007 gray Honda Accord at a "high rate of speed" on eastbound I-264. According to an arrest report, officers clocked her driving at 90 mph, and Marcum was seen "weaving in and out of traffic, striking the cement median" in a manner that was "very careless."
Police also say that her 10-year-old daughter was in the front passenger seat, without a seat belt.
Officers stopped Marcum, and according to the arrest report, her daughter was quick to speak up about her experience riding with mom.
"The daughter interrupted my investigation to tell me she is in fear for her life, and said her mom had been drinking and driving, and driving crazy all over the road," the officer stated in the arrest report.
Police say Marcum had "very slurred" speech, had trouble standing and her breath smelled like alcohol. She allegedly admitted to having two beers before leaving a bar to pick up her child.
Marcum was arrested and charged with speeding, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs and wanton endangerment, according to the arrest report.
Police say the daughter was picked up by Marcum's sister.

After Syracuse broke Baltimore's 7-game winning streak last Sunday, the Blast came out on top tonight with a victory. The Blast defeated the Silver Knights 10-5 and improved their record to 9-3 on the season.
The game opened with a skillful display of possession and control by both teams. Baltimore's captain, Mike Lookingland, found the first and only points of the quarter at the 6:45 minute marker, off an assist by Lucas Roque. The quarter ended with the Blast ahead of the Silver Knights 2-0.
Syracuse had come out in the second quarter with guns blazing, applying more pressure on the Blast and speeding up the play of the game. At 4:49 into the quarter, Machal Millwood tied the game after a loose ball in front of the cage. The Blast turned the momentum around at 9:23 into the quarter, as Lucio Gonzaga netted a ball assisted by Adauto Neto, lifting them ahead 4-2. With 18 seconds left in play, Syracuse demonstrated why they are number one in MISL in power plays, as Kenardo Forbes ripped a three point shot to find the back of the net with Deroux out on penalty for Baltimore. However, the Blast's Tony Donatelli returned the favor with one second left in the half, scoring a dramatic goal assisted by Mike Lookingland and recovering their lead, which stood 6-5 at the end of the second quarter.
Both teams headed into the second half with noticeable energy. Adauto Neto of the Baltimore Blast scored the first and only points of the third quarter from a corner kick by Patrick Healey 2:43 in. Both Syracuse's and Baltimore's defenses played the rest of the quarter without any penetrating shots from the opposing team, keeping the score at 8-5, Baltimore ahead
Baltimore successfully contained the Syracuse Silver Knights in the final quarter by maintaining their defense and keeping possession; the Blast found another goal at 10:26 in by Adriano Dos Santos, fed off a pass by Patrick Healey, marking his second assist of the game. At the ending blow of the whistle, the Blast chalked up another win with a final score of 10-5.
The Blast displayed another skillful match of soccer against Syracuse and demonstrated their ability to adapt against a challenging team. J.T. Noone led the defense with 3 blocks against the Silver Knights, as William Vanzela played another excellent game in net with 11 shots saved. Offensively, Lookingland led the blast with 3 points. Gonzaga, Donatelli, Neto and Dos Santos scored a goal each and Healey added 2 assists.
Tomorrow night at the Baltimore Arena, the Blast take on the Rochester Lancers for the third time this season. The Blast are 2-0 against the team. Rochester is led offensively by Gary Boughton with 29 points and Doug Miller who is the reigning MISL Most Valuable Player. The Lancers are coached by Josh Rife.

Hayden Sees No End In Sight for the NSA
When will the NSA's powers be restrained? According to the agency's former director Michael Hayden, not any time in the near future.
Hayden, who spoke on Thursday at a cybersecurity forum hosted by the National Military Family Association, is famously expansive on national security concerns—and sanguine about the NSA's effectiveness. In an exchange regarding the agency's "systemic overcollection" of data, Hayden argued that those outraged by the practice probably misunderstand it and likely overestimate the extent of the agency's transgressions. He also noted that he finds "curious" debates over the transparency of FISA courts, which hold secretive proceedings to evaluate government requests for surveillance. Critics have dismissed the courts as "rubber stamps" for the government, noting that they approve virtually all applications. But the courts dispute the label, defending the approval record by saying that they often require changes before giving the government the OK. Hayden says there's another reason to like the present system.
"What's odd about the FISA court?" Hayden asked. "We have it. No other Western democracy puts these questions in front of a court."
I asked if he felt that FISA courts were a privilege.
"Yes," he told me. "It's an unusual thing already."
Hayden also dismissed skepticism that the NSA has truly foiled dozens of terrorist attacks. According to Hayden, asking how many attacks have been stopped is "an insufficient metric" by which to estimate the agency's effectiveness. In the same vein, Hayden noted "the metadata thing"—the NSA's furtive collection of vast amounts of information about communications—is not particularly intrusive.
"If we weren't doing that," he asked, "what else gives you a warm feeling about not having a domestic plot? And my thought is, every other answer to that is more invasive." Still, Hayden understands why "some people object to it ... given some other actions of the federal government in the last couple years." (Hayden has been harshly critical of President Obama—off the record.)
I asked Hayden one final question about the future of the NSA. Would the organization continue its data collection unimpeded, I wondered, or will Congress actually cut back on its scope and power?
"I don't know," Hayden responded. "Congress has it within its authority, but this is one area where I don't think the executive's gonna voluntarily reduce [it]."
In other words, it appears Hayden sees no clear end in sight for the agency he once ran—and still so fiercely defends.

Randolph-Macon College President Robert Lindgren is excited to announce the creation of the Max and Susan Stith Endowment for Golf.
The new fund for golf was created by friend of the College, Robert Lee Smith in memory of his brother-in-law Max Dalton Stith and his wife, Susan Christine Smith Stith. Bob is an avid Randolph-Macon supporter and established the endowment as a way to celebrate the lives of his sister and brother-in-law.
"The creation of the Max and Susan Stith Endowment for Golf is imperative to providing our men's and women's golf programs with the resources necessary to be competitive both in the conference and at a national level for decades to come," said Lindgren.
"The impact that the Stith Endowment for Golf will have on our program is immeasurable," said head men's golf coach Ed Turnage '64. "This generous gift will help our program continue the growth and success that we've seen increase each year."
"With our first year of the women's golf program under our belts, I cannot express how excited I am to be a part of a program with not only this kind of success but also this amount of support from members of the R-MC community," said head women's golf coach Leighann Albaugh. "Mr. Smith's generosity will contribute to all of our future successes."
The men's and women's golf programs had successful 2012-13 golf seasons. The men's team finished second in the Old Dominion Athletic Tournament and placed senior Hunter Weaver on the All-Tournament team while sophomore Kyle Fuller was named First-Team All-ODAC.
The women's team ended their inaugural season winning the ODAC championship and claimed the overall tournament winner Olivia Bowling '16. Coach Albaugh garnered ODAC Coach of the Year recognition while Bowling was named Rookie of the Year and First-Team All-ODAC.
The Stith Endowment will be invested with the overall college endowment and each year a percentage of the earnings of the fund will be spent on the men's and women's golf programs.
Max Dalton Stith had a distinguished career in the U.S. Army retiring with the rank of Command Sergeant Major. This was followed by a successful civilian career. During most of his adult life he loved golf, both watching and playing. His wife, Susan, was a graduate of East Carolina University and the idea for this Endowment was orginated by her. Both Max and Susan were graduates of Goldsboro High School in North Carolina.
If you wish to donate to the Max and Susan Stith Endowment for Golf, you may visit the College's secure webiste at www.rmc.edu/givenow/ or you can mail your contribution to Randolph-Macon College, P.O. Box 5005, Ashland, VA 23005.

Screenpresso 1.6.3
- New shortcuts engine
- Support for Windows 10 virtual desktops
- Added a shortcut setting for delayed capture
- Custom colors are now persisted
- Added Ctrl+MouseWheel shortcut to workspace for changing thumbnails size
Download it or check for update to get the FREE update:
New shortcuts engine
When another software registered a shortcut key before Screenpresso (e.g. [Print Screen] key), Screenpresso was failing because of the conflict. In this new version, we reviewed the internal engine and now Screenpresso always takes ownership of the shortcut when it is running. When it exits, it restores the shortcut to the previous owner.
Support for Windows 10 virtual desktops
When you start a capture, Screenpresso automatically detects all visible windows to allow you capturing one of them in just one click. A bug has been fixed and now Screenpresso does not detect anymore windows from other virtual desktops as currently visible.
Added a shortcut setting for delayed capture
Via settings you can now assign a system wild shortcut to start a capture that will starts only after 3 seconds of delay. Delayed capture allows capturing windows that disapear quickly (e.g. tooltips).
Custom colors are now persisted
When you set a custom color anywhere in Screenpresso (e.g. for a drawing item), it is now widely available and persisted even when you restart Screenpresso.
Added Ctrl+MouseWheel shortcut to workspace for changing thumbnails size
When you take a capture, Screenpresso automatically saves it in its workspace and a thumbnail allows to visually retrieve the capture. Now you can hold Control key and use mouse wheel to change the size of these thumbnails.

text: The longest running legal steroid in production today, it is anyone's guess how much longer it will remain on the market. It has twice escaped legislation (2008, 2012) despite the best efforts of congress to remove all steroids from the supplement industry. That is unlikely to happen again. If you have never used Epistane, it may be something to consider, especially if you are one of the many individuals who have a difficult time tolerating the side effects of the harsher orals. It will not pile on the mass like Anadrol, but gains preservation is superior, allowing to you keep a greater percentage of the muscle you do gain.

Back 2 School
Did you know that 4 out 10 student in surrounding schools will never walk across the stage at graduation [1].
Thankfully this is not true for every school. But we don't think this should be true for any school! Nationally there has been at trend of students "Dropping Out and Clocking In."
"Roughly 30 percent of students who drop out of school between the ages of 16 and 18 are working in a variety of jobs, according to a new study by the Urban Institute, a non-profit research group based in Washington, D.C."
Programs like our Back To School and Summer Food Program help take economic pressure off of parents and students alike.
So we say, Thank you!
You have done an amazing job helping us raise funds and collecting school supplies as well as food for the children in our Back To School and Summer Food Program. On July 31st, with excitement, these wonderful children and teens will pick up their back packs, school supplies, and fresh clean clothes. You did a great job and there is still time to continue giving.
At this time 239 of our 500 students still need backpacks. If you would like to help us provide backpacks get involve by doing the following:

Geeky USB-Charged Razor for "On the go" people !
Dawn Ryden at Shavetech was kind enough to give Androidistica the opportunity to review the USB - Charged Shavetech razor. A geek-enabled razor if you will. Hence the USB detail coming with it.
Sized smaller and a lot lighter in weight than your average smartphone, charged by any active USB port , computer, tv or why not try the wall-plug adaptor supplied with the product ?This is a true innovation in itself.
This is ideally for the on-the-go-use.
No need to bring countryspecific adaptors and cables to power your razor while on the go to have this baby charged.
Just plug it into nearest USB port and let it blue light calm your nerves about getting power to the razor.
In the box you get:
-The shavetech razor
-Stringpouch for storing the razor
- Small brush for cleaning the razorhead
-Wall plug adaptor, (Walloutlet < == > USB ,for chargin the device.
High gloss plastic body containing the moving and chargable parts.
I am usually a blade - shaving man myself, but reading the product brieflet i got reminded about the way that kind of shaving goes.
You need your blade, your shaving foam and you also might need some sort of bag to carry this in.
With shavetech you'd bring the shavetech. Period.
No need for bulky electrical razors with charger and international wall plug adapters.
Just the Shavetech, which is quite brilliant.
As far as the actual shaving experience goes , the shavetech performs good.
Admittedly i at first gave the reviewpiece a hard match, 4 days beard (due to working weird shifts) and it cut off everything, almost at least. It is a razor, not a trimmer.
For a decent shave on the road , this piece of USB charged companion is really useful and light to pack.
This one is a sure co-traveller for anyone with shaving needs on the road !
Thanks again to Dawn over at Shavetech.com for letting me review this piece !

|There's more than one way to do things
Please Explain the Parallel::ForkManager Idiom my $pid = $pm->start and next;by Jim (Curate)
|on Feb 04, 2014 at 07:37 UTC ( #1073329=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
Jim has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I simply cannot make sense of the Parallel::ForkManager idiom my $pid = $pm->start and next; as the first statement within a foreach loop that iterates a list of items. I've studied and run examples from the module's perldoc page over and over again, but I just can't wrap my head around how the idiom works. I've even read this explanation and I still don't get it.
How does the first item in whatever the foreach loop is iterating not get ignored? It's skipped—and yet it's somehow not skipped. I can't figure out how it's not skipped. It's maddening. Please explain it to me if you can.

The Town of Niagara got a pot of gold at the end of its St. Patrick's Day rainbow with the announcement at Tuesday's Town Board meeting of an unexpected $154,000 coming to the town.
Supervisor Steve Richards said he had received a letter from Republic Services, the non-hazardous landfill in the town, indicating an audit at the business had found that fees to the town had been underestimated.
Richards said that Highway Superintendent Bob Herman already has a request in for a long wanted hot box for patching roads and a leaf blower. Richards said he personally would also like to see remaining funds directed to the Belden Center neighborhood for sewer reconstruction.
"I want to thank David Grenier of Republic Services for being a good neighbor and always thinking of the residents of the town," Richards said.
In other matters:
•In addition to getting "found" money from Republic, the town will be saving money by entering an agreement with the Town of West Seneca. Richards said he was watching television coverage of flooding prevention in West Seneca using emergency mobile flood protection bags and called Herman, who also was watching the program. Both agreed the bags would be a good idea, especially for the persistent flooding in the Cayuga Creek area. Richards said West Seneca is willing to sell the Town of Niagara the product at their cost, if available, which will be less than if the town went out for a separate bid.
The board approved the plan as an emergency purchase, not to exceed $6,000.
•The board approved a $1,000-a-month raise to building inspector Charles Haseley's $57,504 salary to act as the town's storm water officer. Richards said a check with other towns revealed they were paying $20,000 to $80,000 for this position. "This is another unfunded state mandate," Richards said.
•The board-appointed members of the new town Recreation Committee were approved: Stephanie Tierney Toby, Tom Tierney, Richard Sirianni, Joseph Proietti and Donna Lynn Todino. Two at large members have yet to be named.
•The board approved supporting two Niagara County Legislature resolutions, one calling on the Gov. Andrew Cuomo to withdraw his plan to pay for college education for prison inmates, and the other calling for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers closure of the Lake Ontario Ordnance Works storage site.
•The board approved use of Veterans Park on Lockport Road for the 17th annual Kidz and Kites event scheduled for Sept. 13 (rain date Sept. 14).
•The board accepted the resignation of fire inspector John P. Schultz with thanks for his services to the town.
•Richards also thanked the Highway Department, Police Department and all town workers involved "for the fine work they did during the big storm" last week.

The Chicago Cubs are counting on the continued progression of their top prospects to help their major league team in the upcoming seasons.
But three prospects currently are sidelined because of injuries.
The most serious involves pitcher Dillon Maples, who was ranked as the 18th top prospect by Baseball America. Maples, 21, who finished the 2013 season with a 5-2 record and 2.14 ERA in 10 games at Class-A Boise, suffered a broken rib late in spring training and will be sidelined for about two months, according to multiple sources.

After several previous nominations, Yes will be getting its due during tonight's (April 7) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Brooklyn.
Eight members of the progressive rock troupe -- frontman Jon Anderson, the late bassist Chris Squire, guitarists Steve Howe and Trevor Rabin, keyboardists Rick Wakeman and Tony Kaye, and drummers Bill Bruford and Alan White -- will be inducted by Rush's Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson and plan to perform together.
Anderson, who's been out of Yes since 2008, tells us he's feeling good about the honor:
"One of the things I keep thinking about is, I was actually in the Hall of Fame about three years ago when I was working with the local Cleveland Contemporary Youth Orchestra, and I went to do a show in the Hall of Fame in a songwriters/storyteller hour and I did it and then they showed me around and all my heroes are there. I just feel like I'm joining all my heroes over the years, too."
With so many former members, meanwhile, there's a chance for the kind of rancor that's marked other Rock Hall inductions. But Rabin, who was key in Yes' 80s resurgence with "Owner Of A Lonely Heart," adds that they won't be coming from him:
"I'm not actually too sure about what other people feel. I don't want to say I'm too smug, but I really just don't care insofar as for the last 17 years I've just been doing film scores. I've really been in a different world and just enjoying what I'm doing, so animosities don't come from me -- not that there might not be any on that date, but I just don't care one way or the other."
All of the Yes members, past and present, will be thinking about Squire, who was with Yes from its inception through his death in 2015. Anderson says he'll definitely pay tribute to his onetime bandmate:
"Well, Chris is gonna be there in spirit...He always believed that we should have been in the Hall of Fame 20, 10, 20 years ago, whatever. It wasn't high on my agenda...'It happens when it happens' was my mantra. And we know Chris will be there in spirit and energy, and I loved the guy very much. Without him I wouldn't be here, that's for sure."
The induction ceremony will be filmed tonight and broadcast April 29 on HBO. The current incarnation of Yes has announced a summer tour dubbed YESTIVAL, featuring Todd Rundgren and Carl Palmer's ELP Legacy, kicking off August 4 in Greensboro, N.C. Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman are recording their first album as ARW and plan to tour North America later this year.
Gary Graff is an award-winning music journalist who not only covers music but has written books on Bob Seger, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.


text: Wussup BHW, It's my 100th post and I just wanted to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU! I've been lurking on the forum since August of last year but have been into IM and SEO for a lot longer. But real talk - the amount of stuff I've learned as a result of being on this forum is insane. There's so much great information here. When I started on BHW I was looking for a place to learn more about SEO. I had a part time job as a marketing manager for a local studio and had done some SEO for them because I learned about it through a seminar i attended. I also had a couple of my own websites and wanted to drive more traffic to it. When the contract at the studio ended, I turned to SEOing my own sites and had to learn more. BHW became my most-frequented classroom. The resources and information shared on this site are fuckin priceless! Have learned so much about IM here that I've been applying and trying to find my way to full time income outside of a job. Thanks in part to this forum, I'm now the full-time Lead SEO at an agency. I handle SEO for some pretty big brands and small businesses too - from strategy to implementation. Also manage 2 employees. I'm also constantly working on my own sites as well. And I'm still constantly learning on this forum. So again, thanks Recently I've become a lot more active on the forum, posting what I've learned to help out the newbies and anyone with a question I have some knowledge or an opinion about. I will definitely be applying for Junior VIP membership as another way of saying thanks. I'm excited to see what it'll bring. I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't found BHW. It's a great place - and what's dope as hell is, I'm actually a white-hat SEO at the agency lol Anyways. Just wanted to say thanks and thought my 100th post would be a good place to do it. Much Respect BHW.
