The ES700, AT's entry to the closed portable segment
Pros: Excellent bass response, lush mids and tamed highs; remarkable build quality; made in Japan
Cons: Uncomfortable after an hour of use; funky headband; availability
While looking into a new closed portable, I came across a discovery thread created by Dsnuts. Having owned several other AT portables in the past -my first foray into decent headphones being their ATH-FC7-, and being frustrated that I never got a pair of ATH-ES7, the ES700 were really tickling my wallet. After a couple of days of following the thread, the opinions from other users started pouring in, praising the headphones for their improved sound over the ES7, their interesting design choices and apparent deviation from that classic AT v-shape sound; it was settled, my next portable would be the ES700.
I got them through cdjapan.co.jp for $160 shipped to my doorstep in Mexico City. It took them around 3 days to stock it, and another 3 for them to get to my home. I'm overall very pleased with their service and will definitely be getting my AD900X from them in the near future.

- First impressions
Right out of the box, I was impressed with the soundstage in these cans; it's remarkably spacious for their size and the fact that they're closed-back.
The mids are obviously forward, but they sound really mellow and engaging.
Highs are somewhat tamed, making it a "polite" headphone; I did not detect any noteworthy sibilance, something that is rare for an AT headphone in this pricerange, at least in my experience.
- Music selection
I have quite an eclectic taste in music, so there will be a bit of information for everybody.
- In-depth dive into their sound
Ruben Blades - Estampa
Instrument separation is just great with the ES700; bass is punchy but controlled, it goes reaaaaally deep and it's there only when required.
Beardyman - OH!
The bass here really shines. I started bobbing my head immediately. These headphones are VERY engaging and fun. All the detail is there, and nothing is muddied by the lows at all.
Passion Pit - The Reeling
Wow, the mids and lows just continue to impress. After Beardyman's song and this, I can see that the ES700 are quite sensitive to mixing and compression in songs. When presented with the right arrangement, these headphones bring out the POP in pop music.
Therion - The Siren of the Woods
While the instrument separation is really nice, soundstage feels a bit constricted and imaging suffers as well. They feel somewhat sluggish when it comes to handling all the high notes. The sound is enjoyable, but I don't see myself running to get these headphones when feeling in a "big arrangement" mood.
Ch'aska - Pururauca
The ES700 work very well with metal too. Their polite highs make them ideal for this genre, since it's generally easy for songs to become oversaturated with notes and speed, the ES700 keep everything tidy and fun.
Cannonball Adderley - Clouds
The lush mids from the ES700 bring out the best from the trumpets and piano. Again, instrument separation becomes really apparent and while the soundstage is still constricted, there is an undeniable willingness to please the ears. Jazzy tunes are more than playable in the ES700.
Casa del Mirto - The Haste
The punchyness and depth of the bass really brings this song to life. Again, the ES700 is a very bass-capable headphone, but it's so controlled that it only comes forward when called for.
City and Colour - The Grand Optimist
This just gave me chills! The mids are sooooo sweet and coherent. Vocals just come alive and you can feel the inflections from the singer. Folk fans, look no further for a portable closed headphone.
Wildbelle - It's Too Late (Employee of the Year Remix)
Hello sub-bass! Lush mids and deep, controlled bass is all this song needs to shine. That great desire to just get up and dance is back!
Final Thoughts
I really think Audio-Technica is onto something with their ES700. The emphasis on the mids, controlled bass and tamed highs make it a really versatile closed-back headphone; if you find yourself listening to really varied music, it is a really great option. Personally, I'll be grabbing these instead of my DT 1350, simply because of how fun they are! They keep the detail and separation, but add that POP in your face that makes you want to dance!
I wouldn't recommend it for classical/orchestral music; while it's listenable, the ES700 feels "lazy" for all the nuances and imaging necessary.
Overall, the headphones feel solid, well designed, are very pretty and look fantastic on your head. Their versatility makes it a great value for everyone, regardless of music taste; just be aware that they can be uncomfortable and may require some modding for them to be wearable for extended periods of time. I ordered a pair of WS55 pads, as Dsnuts recommended, but in the meantime I stuffed the pads with cotton to help my ears a bit. At 160 dollars shipped, I believe this headphone will become a really big player in the mid-range portable segment, continuing the legacy of the ES7 with pride.

Defense manufacturers worldwide are facing tough times ahead, as tight budgets force western governments to cut spending. But while the West is cutting back, developing countries around the world are spending more on defense — a lot more.
Last fall, defense contractors warned of massive layoffs if the U.S. government enacted the automatic budget cuts known as sequestration. Now, sequestration is in effect, but job losses are limited, in part because many Pentagon contracts were already in place and will keep assembly lines rolling for much of this year.
But Cord Sterling of the Aerospace Industries Association says those old contracts will run dry soon.
"That's when you see the reductions in personnel," Sterling says. "That's when you see the idling of plants and equipment, because there won't be the new funding coming in."
Manufacturers have known for some time that defense spending by the U.S. and European countries is headed downhill. But they are finding hope in the insatiable appetite for arms spending in other parts of the world.
Paul Burton, a senior manager at the defense analysis firm IHS Janes, says that Asian countries in particular feel threatened and are ramping up their defense budgets.
"They're all looking to upscale, they're all coming from a very low base," Burton says. "They're all congnisant of the threat that China poses and want to ensure that they can protect their national security."
Burton forecasts that defense spending by Asia Pacific nations will overtake North America within the next decade. China accounts for much of this growth, but defense budgets across Asia are growing, from India to South Korea.
The situation is the same in the Middle East — Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are planning to double defense spending over the next decade. And in Latin America, says David Fitzpatrick of the consulting firm AlixPartners, defense firms are jockeying to win the biggest defense market in South America: Brazil.
"They have a defense procurement need that they can't meet themselves, they are not off limits to any of the players, and so it's a real battle to gain their business," Fitzpatrick says.
U.S. firms looking to Brazil or other countries are facing a lot more competition from manufacturers overseas. For example, the U.S. is about to lose its lead in the manufacture of unmanned aerial vehicles, Burton says.
"And we actually forecast that Israel will sell more UAVs, or drones, than the U.S. by 2014," he says.
Burton notes that the drone business still makes up a small portion of the international arms trade. The U.S. will continue to dominate sales of big ticket items like fighter jets, he says, but Israel's rise in this and other areas is a symbol of the growing competition U.S. manufacturers face.
Defense firms can find some solace in other growth areas, such as cybersecurity and homeland security. The homeland defense market is already large, and got a potential boost last week: The immigration bill passed by the Senate requires the purchase of billions in surveillance equipment.
Fitzpatrick says homeland security is promising, but has limited potential for defense firms looking to replace Pentagon contracts.
"It will help slow it down, the reductions down, but I don't think it's got the magnitude across the board to replace the jobs that are lost when the U.S. DOD reduces its requirements," Fitzpatrick says.
Amidst all this uncertainty, defense firms with a strong civilian component may be in the best position. Demand for airliners remains high, with a backlog of orders that should keep business going during the defense slowdown.

All major theaters are covered and each action is analyzed in this detailed look at what it was really like to fight at the sharp end during World War II. While some authorities maintain that only twenty-five percent of all combat soldiers fired their weapons at the enemy because of the innate human reluctance to take another's life, and others take the view that soldiers enjoy killing, the author of this book argues that combat is far more complex than either of these statements imply.
David Lee contends that a unit's success in battle is the result of the type of training it received. His analysis includes a careful examination of the weapons and tactics of each action. He describes what happened, for example, when a battalion of ordinary British soldiers trained in the traditional manner came up against the Waffen SS, whose training was formidable and bore close resemblance to the Commandos. Then he looks at how a rifle battalion held the sniper position against overwhelming odds in the desert war but was nearly wiped out when it went to Italy. Finally, using material gathered by General Marshall and his team of combat historians, he tells the story of a U.S. infantry regiment on D-Day. This revealing and absorbing account of the terror and excitement of close-quarter combat takes the reader directly into the heat of battle.
David Lee is also the author of Beachhead Assault.

I have been taking this product for about 2 months now (max dosage). I can feel that it is beginning to balance out my hormones & may have even brought back my period. Gaia is an outstanding company.
Great for a quick rebalance
Posted by 4881398756537924797 on Sep 03, 2016
Works great for balancing hormones. I got my period in days. I will, however switch to just vitex and maca because those 2 are a great combo. This is great to use if you need the extra boost for acne clearing, sleep problems, anxiety and stress that all come with pms and imbalance hormones.
Posted by Reviewer2535502 on Feb 25, 2015
I started using these about 4 months ago as I was having hot flushes before my period. It definitely has reduced the intensity and the frequency of hot flushes. I feel all in all that it has balanced my hormonal system. It also has reduced the cramping to zero or none on the first day of my perid. I can function normally, withut feeling overwhelmed. In the past I had to rest a lot on the first day of period asI felt nauseous, crmpy and weak. This has changed now thanks to the Gaia Herbs. I am very gratefeul for that.
Love it!

Amazing herb which has given me clear skin after going off birth control. I would always break out in cystic acne after stopping birth control so I would feel forced to go back on it. This time I tried this herb and have very few breakouts - it's amazing. The brand name is great as well as I was using a different one and would get head aches from it. This one doesn't give me any negative side effects.
viscous and hard to measure
Posted by Kyriaki on Apr 06, 2013
the solution is so viscous and lumpy that it's impossible to measure. Although pleasant tasting enough (even in water)I found that I had flank pain after 2 days of dosing twice a day. I stopped immediately. I might try it again when I have reduced other herbs, in the case that it was the combination or just plain overload on my kidneys.

I think it's good, I haven't used it yet. I'll update later.

Healthy Aging
When a woman permanently stops having menstrual periods, she has reached the stage of life called menopause. Often called the "change of life," this stage signals the end of a woman's ability to have children. Many physicians actually use the term menopause to refer to the period of time when a woman's hormone levels begin to change. Menopause is said to be complete when menstrual periods have ceased for one continuous year.
The transition phase before menopause is referred to as perimenopause. During this transition time before menopause, the supply of mature eggs in a woman's ovaries diminishes and ovulation becomes irregular. At the same time, the production of estrogen and progesterone decreases. It is the enormous drop in estrogen levels that causes most of the symptoms commonly associated with menopause.
While the average age of menopause is 51, menopause can actually occur any time from the 30s to the mid-50s or later. Women who smoke and are underweight tend to experience an earlier menopause, while women who are overweight often experience a later menopause. Generally, a woman tends to experience menopause at about the same age as her mother did.
Symptoms of Menopause
- Hot Flashes - Hot flashes are, by far, the most common symptom of menopause, with about 75 percent of all women experiencing sudden, brief, periodic increases in their body temperature. Usually hot flashes start before a woman's last period. For 80 percent of women, hot flashes occur for two years or less. A small percentage of women experience hot flashes for more than two years. These flashes seem to be directly related to decreasing levels of estrogen. Hot flashes vary in frequency and intensity for each woman.
In addition to the increase in the temperature of the skin, a hot flash may cause an increase in a woman's heart rate. This causes sudden perspiration as the body tries to reduce its temperature. This symptom may also be accompanied by heart palpitations and dizziness.
Hot flashes that occur at night are called night sweats. A woman may wake up drenched in sweat and have to change her night clothes and sheets.
- Vaginal Atrophy - Vaginal atrophy involves the drying and thinning of the tissues of the vagina and urethra. This can lead to dyspareunia (pain during sexual intercourse), as well as vaginitis, cystitis, and urinary tract infections.
- Pelvic Muscles Relax - Relaxation of the pelvic muscles can lead to urinary incontinence and also increase the risk of the uterus, bladder, urethra, or rectum protruding into the vagina.
- Cardiac Effects - Intermittent dizziness, paresthesias (an abnormal sensation such as numbness, prickling, tingling, and/or heightened sensitivity), cardiac palpitations, and tachycardia may occur as symptoms of menopause.
- Hair Growth - Changing hormones can cause some women to experience an increase in facial hair and/or a thinning of the hair on the scalp.
- Mental Health - While it is commonly thought that mental health may be negatively affected by menopause, several studies have indicated that menopausal women suffer no more anxiety, depression, anger, nervousness, or feelings of stress than women of the same age who are still menstruating. Psychological and emotional symptoms of fatigue, irritability, insomnia, and nervousness may be related to both the lack of estrogen, the stress of aging, and a woman's changing roles.
- Trouble Sleeping - Many women experience problems sleeping during and after menopause. Changes in hormone levels can cause a woman to experience a lot of disruption in their sleep from night to night. These hormonal changes also increase a woman's risk of developing Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome which is a sleep-related breathing disorder where a person quits breathing in their sleep. Sleep Apnea leads to symptoms such as morning headaches, difficulty staying asleep, feeling depressed, feeling like you don't have any energy, and daytime sleepiness. Woman over the age of 45 are also at an increased risk of developing a sleep disorder called Restless Legs Syndrome.
Menopause Treatments
Specific treatments for the symptoms of menopause will be determined by your doctor based on factors such as age, health, current symptoms, your tolerance and your opinion and preference. Several therapies are available to manage menopause symptoms including:
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves the administration of a combination of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause and menopause. HRT is most commonly prescribed in pill form. However, estrogen can also be administered by using transdermal skin patches and vaginal creams.
The decision to start the supplementation or replacement of these hormones should be made only after you and your physician have evaluated the risk versus benefit ratio based on your individual medical history.
Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) involves the administration of estrogen alone, which is no longer being produced by the body. ERT is often prescribed for women who have had a hysterectomy. Estrogen is prescribed in the following forms: pills, transdermal skin patches (where the estrogen is absorbed through the skin), and vaginal creams.
The decision to start the supplementation or replacement of this hormone should be made only after you and your physician have evaluated the risk versus benefit ratio based on your individual medical history.
Non-hormonal treatment often involves the use of over-the-counter creams that do not contain estrogen to relieve some of the symptoms associated with menopause.
Estrogen alternatives are the so-called "synthetic estrogens," such as raloxifene, which may offer the bone-building benefits of estrogen without many of the possible coinciding risks (i.e., an increased risk of endometrial cancer).
When approaching menopause, every woman should discuss each option - the potential risks and benefits - with her physician. To find a Methodist Healthcare-affiliated physician in Memphis, Tennessee, please use our physician locator or call 888.777.5959.

Saturday June 26 is the first official Maine Whoopie Pie Day. Recently whoopie pies have joined the mainstream; as the cupcake craze faded, these portable frosting sandwiches were last summer's trendiest dessert. Ten years ago, the term whoopie pie was still largely unknown outside of Maine; I went away to college in Massachusetts and was shocked to find my that classmates, even those from New England, called them "moon pies" or "black-and-whites," and snickered at my use of the term whoopie. My husband, who is from the west coast, had never heard of the dessert, and had to be informed that it is sort of like a puffy, hamburger-sized oreo.
The "bread" of the true Maine whoopie is the darkest possible devil's food, lighter than a cookie but denser than cake. The frosting is a simple blend of vegetable shortening and confectioner's sugar that melts on the tongue, immediately washing the brain in dopamine. Some people (heathens) prefer a frosting made with Marshmallow Fluff. You'll find whoopie pies served in nearly every bakery and diner throughout Maine, and sold, wrapped in plastic, beside every gas station cash register. The trouble is that none of them are vegan or gluten-free (the cake portion of the whoopie pie is usually made with eggs). I parted ways with the whoopie pie years ago, but I held on to the memories.
Earlier this week I stopped by Frank's Bakery on State Street in Bangor. They recently added a selection of gluten-free products, and though I was prepared for disappointment, I hoped I would find something that didn't contain eggs. Incredibly, Frank's offers more than a dozen gluten-free items, including breads, rolls, pizza crust, cookies, cakes, and pie. They're all made on site and frozen. Most of them are made with eggs or dairy, but I was able to walk away with a loaf of millet bread and, incredibly, a couple of whoopie pies. My excitement and disbelief were such that if they hadn't been frozen, I probably would have eaten both whoopie pies right there in my car.
Now get this: They taste like the real thing. No weirdness. No grit. They taste so much like the whoopie pies of my youth that only today, after not getting sick, do I really believe they are gluten-free. Frank's Bakery, you have given this pregnant woman back her whoopie pies, just in time for picnic season, and for that I will never be able to thank you enough. (Incidentally, the millet bread is better than anything I've found at the grocery store. It's light and airy and makes great toast. Frank's serves lunch, and I can't wait to stop in for a hummus and avocado sandwich on millet.)So along with the rest of the world, I'll be able to celebrate Maine Whoopie Pie Day this Saturday. Dover-Foxcroft will host its annual Whoopie Pie Festival, but as it's emceed by the Marden's Lady, I plan to stay well away. If you'd like to bake up some vegan whoopies of your own this weekend, try these recipes from two of my favorite bloggers, Hannah Kaminsky and Allyson of Manifest Vegan. Eat outside, get frosting on your face, and celebrate summer like a real Mainer.

Comments: I installed one of these on my boat about a month ago and although havent got to use it much I like it.It was easy to install and now that TW carries the mounting plate it makes the whole process even more easier and cheaper.The folks at Power Pole are very helpful if you have any questions.If you enjoy flipping grass beds or sight fishing this thing is handie.It also is a nice tool when tying up to the dock at the landing.

PFD No. 1: First in a four-part series
Ryan Lambert
April 16 2009 05:15PM
Welcome to the first PLAYOFF Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's first postseason game on April 16, 2009
The Calgary Flames (the fifth seed in the West) and the Chicago Blackhawks (the fourth seed).
6:30 p.m. Mountain time and 8:30 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should derive while they derive.
United Center, Chicago, Illinois.
Calgary was 19-20-2 away from home this year, and failed to win a game against Chicago this season. The Blackhawks were 24-9-8 at the United Center and beat Calgary 11-3 on aggregate there in two games.
What (to hate about the Blackhawks):
Similarity — Calgary hasn't played Chicago since Feb. 5, in a 5-2 loss at the Saddledome. Since then, the Blackhawks have gone 17-11-4, and the Flames went 16-13-2. That's almost enough to give you hope for a Flames win. Almost. (Of course, the Flames also played 15 playoff teams in those 31 games compared to the Blackhawks 18 in 32, so they did have a slightly easier schedule.)
Martin Havlat — Gets hurt all the time, but isn't hurt now. It strikes me as an incredibly inconsiderate thing to do to us Calgary fans that have had to sit through this malarkey of late.
Patrick Kane — I remember when he first started wrestling in the WWF and he was so mean to his brother the Undertaker and he chokeslammed a bunch of midgets and he would make all the lights go out and fire came out of the ringposts. It was very frightening.
Jonathan Toews — Stop making these horrible faces:
Kris Versteeg — Girls' name.
Brian Campbell — You've never seen a worse defenseman making SO much money. I'd say he's the poor man's Mike Green, but he's much, much richer than Mike Green (for now at least).
Andrew Ladd — Nice shirt:
Dave Bolland — Wanna-be ninja.
Patrick Sharp — He went to the University of Vermont. I have my own reasons for disliking that place, believe you me.
Duncan Keith — What kind of a name is Duncan? He is not a yo-yo magnate.
Nikolai Khabibulin — Drinks a "sports drink" meant for toddlers/probably cheated in 2004.
Sami Pahlsson — Former Duck. I don't like Ducks.
Joel Quenneville — The mustache!
You know why! Enjoy the game and talk to eachother about the impending horror in the comments section.
Go Hawks!!!
You forgot to mention that Ladd is clearly wearing pink makeup and lipstick to match his shirt.
April 16 2009, 07:53PM
13 reasons to hate the Blackhwaks and Ben Eager's name is nowhere to be seen. I expected better of you, TLP.
April 16 2009, 07:53PM
That's better. I feel better now.
April 16 2009, 11:28PM
Well now, that was quite the overtime.

Love NHL officiating

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
The Emery Scholarship Fund is off and running. Many fund raising events are planned and Halloween night the local high school and junior high students can participate in the haunted corn patch on Ghost Road in Castle Dale. This event is geared for older students and adults and will be "too scary" for young children. There will be an entry fee of $4.
This group of dedicated and enthusiastic Emery County residents have formed a scholarship foundation to help Emery County people succeed. It is called the Emery Scholarship Fund and the group is determined to raise enough money for this fund to become a permanent scholarship. The board of directors, JR Nelson, Neal Peacock, Jared Anderson, Tyler Jeffs, Shanae Butler, Diane Carter and Jennie Allinson, have worked for more than a year compiling information to help with their pursuit.
"We are in the process of sending out letters informing all the alumni we can locate about this great opportunity for them to give back to Emery County. This scholarship fund has been established to help provide local students with the opportunity of a higher education locally, and enable those students to improve themselves and help them contribute to the local economy and the community," said Jeffs. "I was raised here and this is where I plan to live. I want other people who feel like this to be able to do the same."
The foundation has been holding fund raisers to provide the beginnings of this project. Peacock held a spoiled princess pageant at Emery High School in 2006 and raised $2,000. Plans for this same pageant are underway for this year.
Jeffs said other fund raising ideas are being planned, such as the Christmas Tree Festival, as well as the letter campaign which will solicit donations from all of those people who are proud of their Emery County heritage and want to make things better for the upcoming students.
During the basketball season at Emery High, at half time of each boys and girls home game, a contest will be held which everyone can enter for a small fee. The winner of the contest could win $5,000.
The mission statement of this group is to provide scholarships to Emery High graduating seniors who have a long term potential of benefiting Emery County. Also to provide scholarships to resident adults to enhance their earning potential in Emery County. Another goal is to create partnerships with business and industry in Emery County to provide more relevant education for employees in Emery County, and to raise funds for the ESF through donations that will eventually become an endowment fund.
To make a donation to this great cause and receive a tax deductible receipt, send it, along with your name and mailing address, to Emery Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 1062, Castle Dale, UT 84512. For more information concerning the Emery Scholarship Fund, call one of the board members.
Jeffs is determined to make the scholarship fund succeed as well as the other board members. They want everyone to have a chance to enjoy the lifestyle Emery County has to offer while being able to make a good living by staying and contributing back to the community.
Jeffs along with Farm Bureau Financial sponsored a dice game at the Emery County fair where the winner could take home two four wheelers or $15,000 cash. Lori Brady from Elmo spelled the word money with the dice and chose to take home the money. Other events of this type will be sponsored to go along with getting the scholarship fund established.

Cute little wedge!
"I was looking for a casual shoe in this color and these are just about perfect. They do run slightly narrow but are pretty much true to size. They are a bit high and the heel portion is narrow so they can be a bit unstable. It will just take some practice I think!"

Cute Wedge
"These are very comfy and the color is prettier in person. Only issue is that everyone says they run long I think they are slightly short, I wear a 10 and these are a just right fit but they could have had a tad bit more room."

I've been thinking about mashed potatoes and coconut milk for a few days now. Used to add creaminess to some of our favorite dishes, such as curries, I thought it just might get along famously with the mashed potato. Besides, coconut milk is often added to sweet potato mash, so maybe it wouldn't be totally out of place. But why stop at potatoes when you've overbought celery root for your soup, and have two of the three leeks that came in that bunch left over? I think you know the answer.

Potato and Celery Root Mash with Coconut Milk
Sometimes dishes developed to use things up end up being pretty darn special on their own terms. We loved this. Granted, we are partial to things like onion, garlic, leeks etc. so I cooked up both huge leeks, which then refused to fade into any kind of a background in the finished dish. Fine by me. If it's not fine by you, try one leek instead. And that coconut milk? Definitely added creaminess, and there was another level of flavor, of subtle sweetness, hiding at the back of the throat. Coconut milk was a success, and it might even be my new go-to for mashed potatoes.
Potato and Celery Root Mash with Coconut Milk
Original Recipe
1 medium sized celery root, peeled and chopped
2 potatoes, cleaned and chopped, peeling is up to you
1/2 - 3/4 cup coconut milk (I used light coconut milk)
3 cloves garlic, chopped or pressed
2 leeks, cleaned and sliced
Salt and pepper
Into a large pot, place the celery root and potatoes. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer until the potatoes and celery root are fork tender.
In the meantime, heat the butter in a pan and add and leeks. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until tender, but not brown. Add the garlic and continue to cook 1 minute more, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the potatoes and celery root and place them in a large bowl. Add the coconut milk and mash with a potato masher until you reach your desired consistency. Stir the salt and pepper to taste, as well as the reserved leek and garlic mixture. Enjoy.
* You might not want as much leek as I used. If you're not as much of a fan, or want it to be a smaller component of the dish, use one medium or even small leek instead of two.

Very inventive way of using both potato and celery root. Never cook celery root before, but use this for celery remoulade a lot. It's my family ultimate salad. Will remember to add celery roots when I make mashed potato. Thanks for the inspiring recipe.

Best all-wheel-drive cars under $30,000
While all-wheel-drive can be found on many high-end cars, not everyone (that is, most of us) can afford it.
So we've compiled a highly subjective and by no means complete list of AWD vehicles we've driven and which can be purchased, with mid-level optioning, for under $30,000. We priced all using the Edmunds.com website with current incentives and rebates.
If you want a minivan with AWD, your search begins and ends with the Toyota Sienna ($31,500) which exceeds our price limit. Next
Nissan Rogue
Price: $29,390
I'm not a fan of the outside styling, but I love the interior and the rest of the package.
SEARCH Deals on new Nissan models Next
Subaru Forester
Price: $26,038
Subaru has been slow to go to five-, six-, or seven-speed automatics, instead keeping the tried-and-true four-speed transmission in this otherwise up-to-contemporary standards vehicle.
Toyota RAV4 Sport
Price: $28,710
Talk about turnarounds. The original RAV4 was the epitome of everything bad about short wheelbase vehicles. The present version: An absolute pleasure to ride in or drive.
SEARCH Deals on new Toyota models Next
Honda CR-V
Price: $27,302
Call this a lifetime achievement award. The new version is just being introduced. We're betting Honda, which didn't get the new Civic right on the first try, does with the CR-V.
SEARCH Deals on new Honda models Next
Subaru Legacy
Price: $24,182
At this price, you can get a well-equipped mid-sized sedan. Somehow, the Legacy has been overlooked in the mid-sized world, but it has been and continues to be a solid vehicle.
SEARCH Deals on new Subaru models Next
Ford Taurus SEL
Price: $29,459
We priced a Taurus (after $2,000 in incentives) that was fully equipped except for a moonroof. For a well-regarded full-sized AWD sedan, that's a steal. The challenge will be to find one at that price.
Read the review | SEARCH Deals on new Ford models Next
Chevrolet Equinox
Price: $26,686
Chevy has a solid contender here. The Equinox has an upscale air and an eye on competing with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.
Suzuki Kizashi S
Price: $21,245
To keep costs minimal ($21,245), we went with the base model with AWD and a CVT (continuously variable automatic transmission) and a $1,000 incentive. You can make the argument that this Suzuki is the best bang for the buck on the market. The big challenge: Finding your local dealer. Mine is 30 miles away.
Ford Fusion SEL
Price: $27,600
We priced one at $27,600 which included AWD, a moonroof, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), Cross Traffic Alert, rear view camera, and rain-sensing wipers. It's a deal.
SEARCH Deals on new Ford models Next
Subaru Impreza
Price: $21,500
You can get a well-optioned version for $21,500 and get a nicely redesigned interior and 30 miles per gallon combined.
Toyota Venza
Price: $29,803
My friend of 40 years, Ken Nadler, is among the fussiest of car-owners that I know. He raves about his Venza. I wouldn't think of disagreeing with him. At this price, however, you won't be fully optioned.

Dodge Journey SXT
Price: $26,835
Much of the current success at Chrysler is a result of the efforts of former Dodge chief executive Ralph Gilles. That's what happens when a "car guy" is running the show. He turned the forgotten stepchild Journey into a nice but underappreciated vehicle with a first-class interior and capable V-6 engine.
Read the review | SEARCH Deals on new Dodge models
Mazda CX-7
Price: $29,475
The styling is nice and so is the sharp handling.

Volkswagen Tiguan
Price: $27,400
A driver's SUV with sporty handling, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and nicely appointed interior. SEARCH Deals on new VW models
SEARCH Deals on new VW models
Jeep Compass
Price: $23,761
It looks like a slightly smaller version of the Grand Cherokee, is "Trail Rated," (meaning it's a real Jeep especially if you get the automatic transmission with the "crawl gear"), and is eminently affordable.
SEARCH Deals on new Jeep models Next
Hyundai Tucson
Price: $25,616
It's hard to beat on the basis of features, space, and price. We're hoping the ride becomes more refined for 2012.

John Kessler's "Tomolives"
Anchorware Everywhere
I am always looking for new and interesting things to do on Sunday afternoons. Recently, I came across this great recipe from Atlanta Journal-Constitution writer, John Kessler, for pickling tomatoes to make tomolives.
The online article by Angie Mosier, from Atalanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine, included a photo by Brian Woodcock of pickled tomatoes stored in an Anchor Montana Jar and an Anchor Cookie Jar. Yet another great use for Anchorglass. I personally love both those jars for different reasons. The cookie jar has a classic shape and is all glass all American made in Ohio. The Montana jar has a great sealing lid and the polished metal is very stylish on your kitchen counter.
*Image Courtesy of Brian Woodcock Photography
1 quart green cherry tomatoes or quartered large green tomatoes
1/2 bunch dill (about 6-8 stems)
1 or 2 hot peppers, such serrano or habanero (if you are brave) sliced in half (optional)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
5 large cloves garlic, peeled and thickly sliced
Stem the tomatoes and pierce each at the stem end with a
thin chopstick or skewer. Place in a clean, heat-proof quart Mason jar.
Top with the whole dill sprigs and optional pepper.
Bring 11/2 cups water, vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic to a boil.
Pour the hot liquid over the tomatoes to submerge. Stir the dill and
garlic pieces into the jar a bit.
Cover and let come to room temperature.
Store overnight in the refrigerator.
*For a recipe like this that is basically spicing a vegetable - instead of using a mason jar, think outside of the box and reach for a large Anchor jar.

Measuring & Mapping
Where, how far, and how much? People have invented an astonishing array of devices to answer seemingly simple questions like these. Measuring and mapping objects in the Museum's collections include the instruments of the famous—Thomas Jefferson's thermometer and a pocket compass used by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on their expedition across the American West. A timing device was part of the pioneering motion studies of Eadweard Muybridge in the late 1800s. Time measurement is represented in clocks from simple sundials to precise chronometers for mapping, surveying, and finding longitude. Everyday objects tell part of the story, too, from tape measures and electrical meters to more than 300 scales to measure food and drink. Maps of many kinds fill out the collections, from railroad surveys to star charts.

Too much coin, to rust after one wear!!
"These boots are very comfortable. Unfortunately for the coin you will spend on these Steve Madden Coinz boot. The actual coins are rusting. I reached out to Steve Madden, just to let them know that they are using inferior metals on their expensive boots. They told me to take it up with DSW. Not exactly what I was expecting from this company. Next time I will be taking my coins elsewhere!!!"

MADRID (AP) - Serena Williams is still No. 1, and she has No. 50 to go along with it.
Williams beat Maria Sharapova, 6-1, 6-4, in the final of the Madrid Open on Sunday to retain her top ranking and collect her 50th career title. Sharapova would have moved up to No. 1 with a win, but Williams stormed out to an early lead as the second-ranked Russian struggled with her serve.
Sharapova briefly recovered in the second set, but Williams' form never wavered and she won easily.
"It feels good,'' Williams said about her 50th title. "I don't know how many more I can win. Who knows if I will ever win another title? I just want to live the dream. Hopefully I can keep it going.
"When you first start out everything is so exciting. Now I expect to win.''
Williams improved her record against Sharapova to 13-2, with the two losses coming in 2004.
The 31-year-old Williams, playing in her first red clay final since 2002, took advantage of Sharapova's erratic serve.
"I started the match really slow and against an opponent like her you can't give her that,'' said Sharapova, who had won her previous seven red clay finals. "I wasn't reacting well. I wasn't moving well. Not only the double faults I made, I didn't have a lot of great first serves in. She was really stepping up.''
Sharapova had five double faults in her first three service games, dropping the first two as Williams took the first set. Sharapova earned and converted her first break point to open the second set, opening a 3-1 advantage.
But the former No. 1-ranked player's serve again betrayed her as she hit another double fault to give back her break after Williams had set up three breakers with her precise groundstrokes.
Williams closed out the match after Sharapova recorded her eighth double fault, then hit the ball long.
Last year, Williams won here on the experimental blue clay surface that was removed after complaints from players that it was too slick.
Williams said the move back to red clay worked well as tuneup for the French Open starting later in the month.
"This court is definitely different,'' she said. "It plays like Roland Garros and that is a plus. So I think it is great preparation.''

2 Years From The Time I Purchased ItI bought this dryer in August of 2013, and last week it stopped working. It has been a great dryer, but to die exactly 2 years from the time of purchase is kind of fishy for me. Am hair stylist and am looking for something that I can use at list for more than two years. I can't just be spending $200 every year?

Average For A Pricey DryerThis hair dryer was great for a while, especially for smoothing my curly hair. It's light weight, and it straightened my hair nicely and pretty quickly. BUT one day it just blew up on me -- it suddenly made a loud, awful noise that drove my cat into the dark corners of my house in sheer terror, and it began to smell like burning. Sadly, this happened exactly one week after the two year warranty expired. So, I'm concluding that the quality is not great, lacks longevity because it died after only two years of having it - and I didn't even use it every day. Previous to this, I have had long-term relationships with my blow dryers--typically lasting five or more years! So if you get this on sale, may be worth it. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere.Dec 6, 2014Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Curly Hair

Hot & Fast....don't Let The Wattage Fool You!I just read a lukewarm review of this hair dryer on the Good Housekeeping website. They say their findings were that it makes hair less shiny. They also say it isn't very hot? I absolutely disagree!
This dryer is fairly powerful. The only good reason I can think of for the less shine experienced in the GH tests is the power. This thing blows pretty hard (though it doesn't feel like it....odd). I have had to move items from where I normally keep them because this dryer kept blowing them off. Picking up my hair clips and glasses that had blown off the ledge was getting annoying. I stood across the bathroom the other day to test the airflow on this dryer and it still managed to move stuff.
If you aren't using the right tools with this dryer, I can see how you may get sub-optimal results. I use Spornette or Chaz Dean porcupine boar bristle round brushes. They are similar. I do tend to like the Chaz Dean brushes a bit better, but they also cost more. They maintain a good grip on my hair so it doesn't blow around. The concentrator nozzle keeps the air from making the rest of my hair blow all over the place. My hair is perfectly shiny and I do not feel like it is less shiny now.
The part about the heat....How much more did you need? My scalp has been burned by steam, and I let my hair air dry for about 20 minutes and remove as much excess moisture as I can before I even turn it on, so it's not like it has a ton of water to cause tons of steam. Just to put this into perspective, I ONLY use a wooden hairbrush, not the metal kind that causes the hair to heat up more and steam while drying. I keep a concentrator nozzle on this dryer AND keep it a bit of a distance away from my hair.
I would say that despite the lower wattage of 1600W does not seem to have an adverse effect on the heat generated by this dryer. Maybe I am biased due to my loyalty to the Sedu brand, and I admit that I have only ever used one other dryer with any kind of power, the One 'n Only Brazilian Tech Keratin Dryer (BTW, also HOT and powerful. Folica totally sells the same thing with a slightly different name). Still though, I feel like Good Housekeeping made a lousy call on this one. I can't imagine that anybody who isn't a professional or doesn't have exceptionally difficult hair needs more heat than this.

Sending Back To Fix For A 2nd Time For Issues With MotorI had a T3 hairdryer for ten years before it burnt out. I have to send this Sedu in for a second time within the two year warranty to be fixed for a part that keeps coming loose in the motor. I will not buy another Sedu. I expect a hairdyer to last longer than a year at this price.Sep 27, 2014Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

Poor Quality And So-so ResultsClaims that this product has the "latest in motor technology" producing "unrivaled power, air flow and heat" are nothing more than creative advertising. Performance and dry time are average, similar to a Blackbird. After a few months, the motor had a strange whistle when first turned on. I dropped it once and the plastic covering the filter broke.

Finally Found A Winner!!!After purchasing many other hairdryers that were even more expensive, I found the one. Tames my dry, frizzy, curly, very long hair. No need to use a flat iron anymore. Drying time cut by 1/3. Didn't expect any more than that given the length of my hair. Very happy with this purchase, and my new shiny, bouncy doo!Aug 17, 2014Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Good But No Wao!I tried this Dryr is very gentle to the hair and it leave the hair very smooth however it does take the frizz away if you have thick hair it doesnt dry it very well , leave the hair still curly on the roots. If your hair is thin and you looking for a nice dryer that do the job this one will work but if you have resistant hair better take the 4000 i model, is the best.

Seeing Is Believing. (this Is A Life Changer)After just using this blow dryer for the first time, I rushed to write this review. I can't even express how impressed I am. I've worked in the beauty biz for years and have tried everything under the sun. My 6 yr old hair dryer was dying out so did some research and gave the Sedu 6000i a try. I used all my same hair products, so the only change was using this dryer and my hair came out BEYOND AMAZING. I have naturally wavy/frizzy hair, and always felt like I needed to flat iron my ends to get them nice and smooth.
However, after using the Sedu 6000i tonight, my hair looks just as smooth and shiny as if I just flat ironed it (i use a ghd flat iron), which I have never been able to achieve, even after a salon blow-out. BONUS: it dried really fast!
In short, give this dryer a shot!!!
The only con I've noticed is it's a tad heavier than my previous dryer, but I honestly don't mind (i mean, I need to tone up my arms anyways).
If you're going to purchase this, get the combo pack that comes with the Wet Brush and some other Sedu products...only $90!!!Dec 11, 2013Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Nothing Special Performance Wise And Shoddy CraftsmanshipI bought this less than two years ago to replace my T3 featherweight when it (inevitably) died. I was never all that impressed with the performance of the Sedu, the T3 actually made my hair look much smoother (and much faster) and now I've come to accept that it is just a poor quality piece of merchandise overall. The back cover broke off months ago (and the dryer has a permanent home on a coutertop, it doesn't even get put into a drawer or anything else that could be considered "harsh" treatment). The first time that happened my hair was sucked in and tangled around the motor, it wound straight up to the scalp and I had to CUT the hairdryer out. I was not happy. I was able to put the guard back on after that, but it continues to fall off repeatedly. Now the concentrator has also broken. I have had a $50 experience with a $200 product and now I'm already on the hunt for a replacement.Nov 27, 2013Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair Dryer

Does anyone know of a site where I can download One Piece episodes?
Now, there is a thread in here about watching the episodes, but I don't want to do that. I want to download the episodes and put them on my mp3 player.
I've found some episodes, but they're in mp4 format, something I'd never heard of before. I can't play the files on my computer, and though I could no doubt download something to let me watch them, I know that no matter what I do, I won't be able to get the files on my mp3 player. I need avi or something similar (pretty much, no mkv or ogg).
I can't find any sites at all that have the early episodes in a format that I can put on my mp3 player. Can anyone help me?

In response to the Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee recommendations to slash the Utah State Parks budget by $299,700, the Board of Utah's State Parks and Recreation reports the cuts will force closure of several state parks.
If this budget recommendation is finalized, the reduction in operational funding will become effective during the 2007 fiscal year, forcing closure of parks during fiscal year 2006. The subcommittee has failed to acknowledge increasing operational and utility costs, and the reality that funding that is not ongoing will result in park closures.
Since 2002, Utah State Parks has suffered a 19 percent decrease in general fund appropriations. Budget cuts to Utah State Parks and Recreation are believed greater than most of the other state agencies. The budget reductions are ironic because for each dollar of state general fund invested in Utah State Parks, the agency returns $18 in economic benefit totaling $170 million for Utah's citizens. Proposed budget cuts will result in a $5.4 million negative impact to Utah's economy.
In response to four years of budget cuts, Utah State Parks has eliminated 30 positions, maximized operational efficiency, increased fees, discontinued free park access for seniors, and closed or transferred three state parks. Vision 2010, a strategic plan for the agency, mandated by the legislature, was recently completed. Vision 2010 defined specific objectives to improve the park system for Utah's growing population. Closure of additional state parks was not envisioned in this planning document, especially following closures just two years ago.
The Board of Utah State Parks supports Governor Huntsman's commitment to economic development and tourism. Governors Walker and Huntsman recognized the value of state parks to the citizens, visitors, and communities of Utah, and supported the original budget request proposed by the agency. The Board of Utah State Parks questions why an important contributor to Utah's economy, particularly local rural economies, should suffer deep budget cuts during a year of budget surplus. Board members feel some legislators, including members of its own appropriations subcommittee, undervalue the state park system.
"It is sobering to consider the impacts of park closures on park employees, families, park visitors, and the surrounding rural economies," said Board Chair Jeff Packer. He added "The Utah State Parks and Recreation system is managed by a team of talented, dedicated, and loyal employees."
While the Utah State Parks Board recognizes budget recommendations are not yet final, if the current course of budget cuts is not reversed, several parks will close. The following is a list of parks to be evaluated for closure at an upcoming April board meeting:
Parks to be evaluated for closure: Camp Floyd/Stagecoach Inn State Park and Museum, $91,700, Utah County; East Canyon State Park, $82,500, Morgan County; Green River State Park, Green River Golf Course, Goblin Valley State Park (cluster park), $260,800, Emery County; Huntington State Park, Scofield State Park, Millsite State Park (cluster park), $190,300, Emery and Carbon counties; Hyrum State Park, $70,100, Cache County; Iron Mission State Park Museum/Old Iron Town, $188,400, Iron County; Otter Creek State Park, $38,100, Piute County; Piute State Park, $11,900, Piute County; Quail Creek State Park, $110,300, Washington County; and Starvation State Park, $44,500, Duchesne County.
The Board of Utah State Parks and Recreation asks citizens to contact their legislators, asking them to restore Governor Huntsman's budget request and protect Utah State Parks.
State Senator Mike Dmitrich who represents Carbon and Emery counties said he sits on the executive appropriations committee and the parks closures did not receive a very good reception. He does not think any parks will close, nor should they close with the economy on the uprise.
