This Resveratrol supports gene activation, promoting your health and longevity. ResVitale contains the purest youth activating resveratrol. ResVitale's French Red Wine vineyards deliver a pure concentration of Resveratrol to trigger your natural age-defying defenses and Longevity Genes. Youth lies dormant deep inside cells. Healthy cells thrive on nourishing proteins and energy production to sustain the cycle of renewal. Reawaken youthful activity with this restorative, age-defying formula. ResVitale Resveratrol: Helps repair age-related cell damage and restore youthful DNA Boosts energy production in cells Standardized formulation delivers a full 125 mg of pure trans-Resveratrol The ArtResVitale introduces Vinologie - harnessing the restorative nature of the vineyard to protect youthful radiance. Rich in French heritage, the vineyard possesses the purest Resveratrol - ResVitale's devotion to agelessness begins here. The BenefitsRediscover your youthful DNA through the power of Resveratrol. Free of additives and fillers, their formula delivers a patent-pending 'Vine-to-Capsule' extraction of the red wine polyphenols - preserved at their peak potency - helping you look and feel vibrant and renewed. The ProofA Harvard study reveals that Resveratrol may help increase longevity. These active polyphenols found in red wine enhance youth protein production and boost gene activity. What is Resveratrol?Resveratrol is a powerful polyphenol found in the skin, seeds, stem and vine of red wine grapes that exerts significant antioxidant properties. Thought to serve as one explanation for the French Paradox - the idea that the French have a remarkably low incidence of heart disease compared to Americans despite a diet rich in high-fat foods - Resveratrol has over 2,000 associated clinical studies documenting the amazing benefits. Harvard University biochemists believe that Resveratrol turns on the sirtuin gene, also known as the SIRT1 'longevity gene.' By activating this gene, scientists believe Resveratrol mimics the effects of caloric restriction, which is thought to slow the aging process by limiting dietary energy intake. Resveratrol is also thought to slow many of the degenerative effects associated with aging and may potentially increase lifespan. Some of these health benefits may include protection from Alzheimer's Disease, Arthritis, cardiac disease and certain forms of cancer. Trans-Resveratrol, the bioactive form of the Resveratrol polyphenol, has been proven in clinical studies to activate SIRT1 and enhance cellular productivity. Trans-Resveratrol has also been shown to increase the number of mitochondria in cells, thus increasing energy capacity and enhancing sensorimotor function. Made With Organic Ingredients.ResVitále is committed to bringing you the purest product possible, while staying mindful of the health of our consumers and of our planet. By using only premier ingredients and adhering to organic farming practices, we are able to maintain our reputation as the leading brand in youth preservation. Our organic standards deliver products with more nutrients, less additives and organic grapes sourced from vineyards that adhere to rigorous standards of excellence. These organic farming techniques maximize the nourishment you receive, providing you with more nutrients and longer lasting results. Non-organic farming methods make use of unnatural toxins that can harm our bodies and the environment. Though time efficient, conventional farming methods rely upon the usage of harmful toxins found in fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides that serve no other purpose than to facilitate growth. When consumed over time, these unnatural chemicals are capable of saturating our bodies, focusing our energy on flushing toxins from the ingested supplements rather than utilizing the ingredients to enhance healthy functioning. Similarly, these additives are capable of altering the environment. Unlike our bodies, however, the earth is not able to rid itself of these toxins once absorbed. The importance of living organically is not only an effort to save our bodies, but our planet as well. When manufactured in a chemical-laden environment, foods and supplements retain trace amounts of chemicals that will be absorbed when digested. A build-up of these chemicals is capable of destroying our bodies and our environment when we forget to heed to an organic lifestyle. However, when practiced, organic products will make you look and feel better. In fact, recent studies show that organic products may provide you with up to 40% more antioxidants than their non-organic counterparts. At ResVitále, our principle is as simple as our formula: pure sources yield pure results. Resvitale's PhilosophyPreserving youth begins with ethical foundations inspired by traditional French farming practices. Their mission to provide you with the purest and most potent products begins in the roots of their organic vineyards, where they pride theirselves on innovative studies of Vineology and an unrivaled dedication to quality. Striving to set the standard of excellence, they do their part to endorse the integrity of their ingredient sourcing and product manufacturing, understanding that by staying true to nature, they will deliver a product unprecedented in authenticity and strength - ResVitále's devotion to agelessness begins here. Why ResVitále?By capturing the French vineyards age-old, time-tested wisdom, ResVitále is dedicated to three key elements making it unique within its industry: Vineology: Harnessing the restorative nature of the vineyard to protect youthful radiance. Rich in French heritage, the vineyard possesses the purest trans-Resveratrol - ResVitále's devotion to agelessness begins here. Traceability: Sourced from the finest French vineyards, ResVitále Resveratrol can be traced back directly to the source, providing consumer confidence in the purity, freshness and authenticity of their product line and brand. Organics: The finest Resveratrol is naturally produced by plants as a defense against harmful elements in their environment. Since non-organic plants have man-made chemicals to protect them, they do not create Resveratrol nearly as potent or powerful as what you will find with their organic ingredients. Resvitale's Story It all began in 1905, with the Thierry Family's inheritance of an untapped vineyard in southern France. After uncovering a passion for the vine, the Thierry family dedicated their lives to the native farming and harvesting practices of the Bergerac region. It was then, deep within the hills of France and through generations of devotion to their craft, that the family perfected the art and science of cultivating the land for the finest, purest harvest. This devotion continued over a century later with a physician's dedication to healthy aging. Familiar with the French Paradox -- the notion that, despite a diet rich in high-fat foods, the French exhibit a remarkably low incidence of heart disease compared to Americans -- Dr. Joseph Maroon contributed to the research and development of the Resveratrol molecule. This potent polyphenol, found in red wine grapes, is believed to activate the SIRT1 'longevity gene,' causing a slowing in many of the degenerative effects associated with aging. A renowned neurosurgeon and triathlete, Dr. Maroon's innovative findings struck home and fueled his desire to combat the aging process. With a desire to create the highest quality Resveratrol possible, ResVitále sought to lead the market with the most authentic, potent product available. Dr. Maroon, having written the only Resveratrol book to date, proved himself an authority on the matter and a perfect fit for ResVitále's standards of excellence. Ensuring that ResVitále met the highest levels of authenticity and effectiveness, Dr. Maroon guided the brand development and pioneered an exclusive partnership with GNC. These same standards of excellence continued when a passion for wholesome living brought Dr. Heather Hausenblas to southern France. Focusing her life's work on the psychological effects of physical activity and its relationship to weight-related disorders, the French lifestyle held many answers to which Dr. Hausenblas was searching. The familial atmosphere and outdoor lifestyle native to the region proved an ideal setting for Dr. Hausenblas' age preservation studies and ResVitále's product development. Herself an established voice on international health and exercise psychology, Dr. Hausenblas set out to help others in a similar manner by researching healthy aging. Now serving as ResVitále's formulator and scientific advisor, Dr. Hausenblas has taken Dr. Maroon's standards of excellence and made them her purpose. After extensive research and study, a unique Resveratrol formula has been created to provide you with the natural solution to healthy aging. The ResVitále mission is not only to provide you with the natural benefits of red wine grapes, but to translate to you all positive aspects of the French lifestyle. With an emphasis on the overall atmosphere and intimate relationships of the French culture in mind, a brand has been created and founded upon French principles and wholesome methods. Brimming in rustic tradition and time-tested excellence, ResVitále's devotion to ageless begins here.

Toyota's 50MPG Prius c Hybrid to Start at $18,950

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The Toyota Prius c hybrid is available in four grades, ranging from $18,950 to $23,230
At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) last month, Toyota proudly unveiled its new
2012 Prius c hybrid
. The automaker boasted that the latest Prius member would be both fuel efficient and affordable, and today, the actual price figures have been released.
The starting manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the 2012 Prius c hybrid is $18,950. However, the Prius c will be available in four grades, offering more features the higher the grade. The Prius c One has an MSRP of $18,950, while the Prius c Two is priced at $19,900, the Prius c Three is priced at $ 21,635 and the Prius c Four is priced at $23,230.
All Prius c's
will feature a Hybrid Synergy Drive 1.5-liter DOHC, 16-valve engine, a 144 volt nickel-metal hydride battery and a 60 HP permanent magnet AC synchronous motor for a combined hybrid system output of 99 HP. All Prius c's also offer Toyota's Star Safety System and nine standard airbags, and offer 53 mpg city and 46 mpg highway.
The Toyota Prius c One offers the basics like remote keyless entry, automatic climate control and a steering wheel with controls such as Bluetooth, audio and other options. Upgrading to the Prius c Two gets you a six-speaker audio system, a center console with armrest and storage, cruise control, engine immobilizer, a cargo area tonneau cover and a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat.
For those willing to bump up to the Prius c Three, drivers receive a plethora of technology for both entertainment and information such as a 6.1-inch touchscreen, Sirius XM Satellite Radio capability, HD Radio with iTunes Tagging, a Display Audio system with Navigation and Entune, advanced voice recognition, and a USB port with iPod connectivity. The Three also allows drivers to add 15-inch alloy wheels for an extra $390 and a power tilt/slide moonroof with sunshade for an extra $850.
The crème de la crème of the Prius c hybrids is the Four, with added 15-inch, 8-spoke alloy wheels, color-keyed heated power outside mirrors with turn signals, integrated fog lamps, and Softex-trimmed heated front seats. Prius c Four drivers can also choose to add a power tilt/slide moonroof with sliding shade for an extra $850, a 16-inch, 8-spoke alloy wheel package with P195/50R16 tires for an extra $300, or a 16-inch alloy wheel package that includes P195/50R16 tires and the moonroof with sliding sunshade for an extra $1,150.
"It's sized, priced, styled and packaged to appeal to young buyers on a budget who, until now, have probably found a hybrid experience out of reach," said Jim Lentz, Toyota USA president and CEO. "That's why we view
the Prius as a gateway vehicle
and a key component of our Prius strategy."
The Prius c hybrid will be available in dealerships in March 2012.
"The Space Elevator will be built about 50 years after everyone stops laughing" -- Sir Arthur C. Clarke

Better clench up, Legolas!
That has nothing to do with anything, really. I just wanted to say. But I was reminded of RDJ/Iron Man's great line to Hawkeye in The Avengers because "clench" is the word that came to mind looking at these shots of Justin Theroux in Mexico with Jennifer Aniston.
They also decided to match swimwear yesterday. And took a break from advertising for smartwater. Well, why not? If the paps are crashing your holiday, you might as well get paid. Which works the other way around too. The only reason they're paying you is because you do get papped on holiday.

Accommodation summary
|4792 Askeby, Vordingborg Municipality, Region Zealand, デンマーク
|Check-in before
Reasonable, centrally located apartment. Can be a little noisy because of the
congested streets outside! But that's part of city holidays. Decor is a little old fashioned, and no wi-fi. Otherwise okay...
The location on the Isola di San Pietro is convenient for a visit of Venice. It is a littel decentral though. Apartment was clean, bathroom was clean and modern. The beds are ok. The communication with the representative of the agency was easy. The service was good.
But I give only 2 stars because of intransparancy and hidden costs. We had to pay 60 Euros for cleaning. That's a lot for a place not bigger then 20 square meters. But it would have been acceptable if those costs would have been communicated from the beginning on. We were informed about the 20% increase of costs by the confirmation email shortly before the trip to Venice started. This practise should be altered immediately.
Great place, very warm and sunny days. Apartment was good value for your money. Nice and clean.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The accomodation was great and nicely situated in the middle of the the beautiful historic city. The view from the apartment accross the bay is wonderful. The personnel at the hotel are very friendly and helpful.
Parking in the historic centre is difficult and this may mean a ten-minute walk from wherever you manage to park. The balcony is on the small side and a rather big step up from the room.
Nick and Ada
Small, dark apartment, cramped, definitely not suitable for more than 4 people. The chairs (inside and garden) and also the 'couch' were very uncomfortable. The beds were ok.
The sea, a grocery store and a bakery were nearby, which was convenient.
The rent for this apartment was too high compared to the accommodation.
Perfect stay in a perfect apartment in a beautiful city. We could walk to every highlight of Venice but stay in this apartment on the seaside in a quiet part of town. The wine bar just around the corner, the cruise ships passing by and one of the most beautiful cities of the world.
Lovely house that is extremely well presented. We were two families (7 persons) and the house was very comfortable and included all the mod-cons you could ask for (new IKEA furniture throughout). Owners were exceptonally friendly and very helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The house was stocked with all necessities such as detergents, full kitchen utensils (new), pots + pans (new), salt, olive oil - even charcoal for the BBQ. All you need is to buy food and drink. The house is located about 10km from the nearest vilage (Vodnjan) so you need to drive everwhere. The nearst beach is about a 20 min drive from the house, for example. There was great restaurant in Vodnjan at the roundabout on the way out of town to the house.
Well, Venice is beautiful and the apartment is perfectly located.
We have been welcomed by Maria and her daughter and they have been very helpful for us during our stay.
The flat is good with Wifi, even if the Beds need to be updated a little bit.
We spend a wonderful time in Venice thanks to this place!

High School Debut – Review
Haruna Nagashima gave her all to softball in middle school, now that she has made her high school debut, she has decided to give her all for a new goal: getting a boyfriend and falling in love. However, she has one small problem—since she never paid any attention to fashion or trends in middle school, she has no idea how to go about attracting her yet-to-be-found love. But a chance encounter with the popular Yoh Komiyama provides her with the opportunity she needs. If he coaches her in how to become attractive, surely she can find herself a boyfriend. He agrees to coach Haruna after her great persistence but on one condition: she mustn't fall in love with him.
Based on the highly popular shojo manga series by author Kazune Kawahara, High School Debut offers an outrageously comical look into one high school student's absolute affixation with finding a boyfriend and entering the world of dating. While High School Debut's premise may have already been seen to a certain degree in a variety of other films and television dramas, the portrayal of characters and situations found within the film are creatively done in a matter that liven up its tried and true narrative structure. While relying on the standard tropes that are often associated with the realm of shojo—unlikely characters falling in love, over the top situations, and comical humor—the film is aware of these elements and for the most part presents a satirical play on them. From Haruna's initial reliance and eventual realization that the shojo manga titles she reads are illogical, to the film's many jabs at the dating advice offered through teen magazines, the whole perception of dating is brought into question. Quite simply, High School Debut is a film that doesn't take itself too seriously and pokes quite a lot of fun at itself and the genre it champions. It's this much-needed awareness that keeps the film from simply becoming another sloppily executed manga to live action adaptation, instead bringing about a refreshing take on the genre in quite the most uncommon ways.
What helps out most in establishing this distinctiveness in the film is first and foremost the characters themselves. With a young and energetic cast taking the helm, they nicely complement the film's animated and exuberant atmosphere and pace. This element of the film is certainly encapsulated in the character of protagonist Haruna, played extraordinarily well by actress Ito Ono. Acting as her debut film, her spirited portrayal of Haruna is absolutely a joy to watch. Whether it's her humorous attempts made to attract the opposite sex, to her strict adherence as a disciple of dating to Yoh, she practically carries the entire film as the most charming and comical character. It would be wonderful to see her in future films, especially since she showcases such a charismatic performance here. Recognition should also go towards Junpei Mizobata as Yoh. Junpei gives a solid performance that is equally as comical as Ito's. Viewed as the exact opposite personality-wise within the film, his character's brash but vulnerable behavior prevents the film from becoming solely focused on the endeavors of Haruna, offering a great balance between the two as they vie to find a solution to Haruna's inadequacy in dating. The comical timing between the two is excellent, and they truly become engaged within their characters. There is a host of other prominent actresses as well in the film, from gravure model Rina Aizawa, who plays Yoh's flirtatious younger sister Asami, and AKB48 members Sae Miyazawa as Harun's best friend Mami and Yuka Masuda as Haruna's school rival. With a cast of likeable and recognizable faces, it's sure to please fans of the manga series.
Another quality of the film is that it's simply hilarious almost constantly throughout, mainly because of the performances by Ito and Junpei. From the misconstrued execution of the film's by the book rules to dating—a quite literal presentation for sure—to the film's ability to switch between elements of comedy and drama without missing a beat, High School Debut's vigorous pacing certainly keeps film from becoming stale. With the heavy reliance on elements of comedy spread throughout, the film does restrain itself at times to introduce elements of drama as well. As such, the film loses some of its appeal as it focuses more so on the forming affectionate relationship between Haruna and Yoh rather than their amusing friendship. While not particularly detrimental to the overall plot, these segments within the film do indeed slow down the pacing, while also relying on unnecessary plot devices that reinforce some stereotypical themes found within the shojo genre. While the blossoming relationship between Haruna and Yoh is integral to the plot—and again, is seemingly an unavoidable aspect of the genre—it steadily begins to adhere towards a certain demographic, where else for a majority of the film the themes could be viewed as universal. These tired elements of the plot somewhat bring down the narrative of the film, but it should easily appeal to those viewers who find the unlikely pairing of two contrasting characters both plausible and gratifying.
Director Tsutomu Hanabusa, while only having directed one other film before taking on High School Debut with the humorous Handsome Suit (2008), easily translates the visionary and artistic nature of the manga over to film. Capturing the vivid atmosphere of the manga series, the look of the film and its characters should appeal to fans of the manga. Complementing the vibrant nature of the source material, the character expressions and mannerisms remain the appeal of the film. Hanabusa certainly has a keen eye for comical timing, which the film does quite successfully through its characters. From the dreamy sequences of Haruna's daydreaming antics to the festive Christmas Eve-centered conclusion, the visual styling of the film is nice but can be mostly viewed as more akin to a television drama rather than a film. This is surely not to be viewed as a total negative aspect, but an increase in budget would have elevated the look of the film significantly. Some of the usage of CGI in certain scenes is blatantly obvious as well, which somewhat lessens the visual quality of the film even further, but luckily these scenes are kept to a minimum.
Overall, High School Debut is a surprisingly witty and entertaining film that in the hands of a lesser cast and director would have easily fallen within the realm of predictability all too soon. With a premise centered on the tested "makeover" theme viewed in other shojo manga titles, the film easily avoids many of the pitfalls of the genre by having a likeable cast of characters that aren't archetypical and an experimental narrative. While the film does have it moments of tediousness towards its conclusion, it remains afloat through it numerous laugh-out-loud antics and humorous offerings on the notions of contemporary dating. Perhaps the film's strongest strength is that it easily breaks down the barriers of the genre it subscribes to with relative ease, forging a new path in its wake. With a blatantly flawed character such as Haruna searching for the likes of a boyfriend, the film establishes a realistic albeit imaginative take on the issue of teenage love, all the while remaining acutely aware of many of the subject's hardships and falsehoods. With a delightful cast—especially that of Ito Ono—an appealing premise, and relevant satire, the film presents a highly comical tale on a subject that is often times riddled with clichéd elements that do little for its story. Fortunately, High School Debut is removed from many of those elements, in turn making it one highly amusing and charming film.

The Canucks Week in Quips for Feb 22
February 22 2013 10:14AM
This is a regular Friday feature combining a healthy mixture of observation, analysis, and foresight on the Vancouver Canucks. If you'd like to get at me about anything covered in this column, follow me on Twitter at @yyjordan and let's start a textual relationship (wink).
1. There's not much for me to add to the discussion on Jannik Hansen and Marian Hossa – like most sensible Canucks fans I saw it as a reckless but unintentional elbow by Hansen. The one game suspension was reasonable, given that you have to be responsible for your equipment and your limbs and Hossa was hurt on the play. Still, the whole incident was made worse by the fact that Hossa - despite his recent concussion history - was cleared to practice so quickly, and probably play, so soon after the Hansen hit. I don't know much about Hossa's particular issues, but the Blackhawks have a spotty history on this and if Hossa's playing hockey with a head as soft as an overripe avocado going forward, I think that's a scandal. And that's the underlying issue here: are players league-wide receiving proper treatment and recovery time for serious concussions?
2. Here are three flat-out wrong opinions on the hit: 1) That Hansen (in a split second) decided to elbow Hossa in the head when he realized he wasn't going to reach the puck, or 2) that the elbow was anywhere near as malicious as Duncan Keith's on Daniel Sedin, and 3) that Hossa faked an injury to get Hansen suspended. C'mon.
3. Alain Vigneault, of course, had a good chuckle about the whole suspension thing. Wait, a portly guy prone to the chuckles who is frequently perplexed by medical diagnoses? Alain Vigneault is Dr. Hibbert.
4. David Booth returned to game action this week, and all things considered has looked quite effective. Unfortunately for Boothy, his return means he has to halt production on his upcoming cookbook "He Shoots, He Skewers! How to Grill What You Kill". I hear there's a special chapter on how to catch and prepare the elusive Escape Goat. Look for it to drop in the Summer of 2013.
5. The Canucks have a record of 9-3-4 and are 7-1-2 in their last 10. If there's an area of concern though, it has to be the team's overall defensive play. The pairings have generally been a mess, and the Chicago game really exposed their weaknesses. Part of the problem is the Canucks are still missing a natural right-side defenceman, and so no matter what pairings AV and Bowness put together there's always at least one square peg on the ice. I don't know if you've ever watched a square peg play D, but it ain't pretty; the circles go right around them while the squres just sit there, being inatimate objects.
6. Having too many defencemen playing out of position ultimately lands on Mike Gillis, who outside of Kevin Bieksa and Alex Edler has assembled this entire defensive core. But could Rick Bowness just not be the right guy for this group? It's a fantastic-looking top six on paper, but is that potential being wasted by inept coaching?
7. This brings me to Jason Garrison, who I've been quietly worried about since Gillis signed him. Not because I think he's bad, but because I knew most fans would have unrealistic expectations for the guy. His contract, while fair for the market, is high enough that fans are going to expect offense. The 16 goals he scored last season was an anomaly he'll likely never repeat, and again, he's a left-sided defenceman sharing the top-six with three other left-sided defencemen. Either he's playing on his off-side or he's playing with a guy on his off-side. Either way it's not the ideal way to utilize his skillset. Speaking of which, the coaches need to find a way to effectively incorporate Garrison back onto the PowerPlay; they're wasting one of the hardest shots in the league.
8. Drance wrote a very interesting piece yesterday about Garrison's "demotion" and how negligible the difference is between the 2nd and 3rd pairings this season. We've been speculating that the coaching staff is trying to even out the distribution of minutes during a short season, and recently I came across a quote from a Globe & Mail article that confirms this:
"Deployment may evolve. The Canucks have looked at soccer research that shows players fade during games and during seasons. Studies from Liverpool John Moores University argue that better success – more goals – can be achieved if teams use more innovative substitutions. Vigneault has talked about this for the shortened season, resisting the temptation to use the Sedins more and instead giving the third line upward of 15 minutes a night, and even the fourth line eight to nine minutes, instead of five to seven."
9. That is a fascinating article, and even though it was published back in January, there's another excerpt that is particularly telling now that Manny Malhotra has been shut down for the year:
"Gillis's life in hockey is the philosophical underpinning of the human performance plan – doing right by players, who are so often treated as disposable and easily replaceable commodities."
10. I wanted to finish with this great piece by Jason Botchford on Alex Burrows and the Sedins. It is interesting to think back on the circumstances that put that line together in the first place, and the absolutely staggering success they've had since. The point about Burrows helping the twins become players who could create off the rush and not just their cycle is one I hadn't really considered before, but it's absolutely true. Plus, could this quote from Burrows be any more adorable:
"He's made my career a lot more glorious than I made his," Burrows said. "He's a great player. He's even a better person."
Aw jeez, gettin' misty over here, you guys. See you next week.
Appreciate your succinct summary of a few certainties around the Hansen-Hossa hit. The over-analysis and (biased) opinion was crazy.
About right/left D-men, how about a little research on successful NHL left shots playing the right side? I'm sure there are some. (perhaps a query for others in the ARMY) They could put on a proD clinic in the off-season instead of golf or fishing ^_'
And thanks for the quotes from Botchford. ... and now I'm tearing up too

Comments: After 50 miles in this shoe it has become my favorite running shoe of record. Previously running in the Kinvara 2 and 3 but switching to the 890v3 for longer distance running comfort (I'm 6'0, 189lbs), the NB 890v3 has done nothing but satisfy. Great cushioning while still maintaining that fast feel and also being good enough on light to moderate trails, this shoe seems to have it all as far as I'm concerned. For shorter distances I could mix in another shoe such as the Kinvara or another lighter, less cushioned shoe, but for overall training and especially longer distances at least of half marathon length which I have run this shoe has everything I want. Some reviews mention a shallow and/or narrow toebox and after a few runs this ceased to be even a minor issue for me. The only small issue I have is that the tongue seems to slide to either side over the course of a longer run but it hasn't caused any discomfort for me thus far. Long story short: if you buy the 890v3 you won't be disappointed!
From: Jason, Portland, ME
Comments: This shoe is awesome! The shoe is very lightweight compared to the similar shoes in other brands that I have tried. From the first run, the shoe felt very comfortable and didn't seem to take long at all to feel broken in. On gravel roads and pavement it allows me to feel the ground below me but also gives me cushioning to put in training runs of up to 20 miles for my marathon preparation. I debated getting a new pair of racing flats for my upcoming marathon, but due to the weight of these I plan to use them for the race. I look forward to my next pair of these shortly after my marathon and will definitely be buying the 890V3 again.
From: Nathan, Fargo, ND, USA
Comments: For the most part I love the feel of this shoe, it is quite lightweight and wraps around my foot snugly. I never find my foot to be "swimming" in this shoe. I got the impression that it has quite a good "grip" on asphalt. I ran my first marathon in them and they came through. However... Whilst the fit and feel was perfect in every other way, the toebox turned out to be quite low, which resulted in runners toe for both my big toes, especially the right. I didn't have any problem in quarter marathons, but I'm not sure if I'll use them again in longer distances. I'm wondering if I should have bought half a size larger, but judging from the shape of the shoe I'm not convinced it would have helped much.
From: Andreas, Athens, Greece
Comments: Wow - really surprised how great these shoes feel. I typically run in the Mizuno Precision but since they are being discontinued I wanted to try something else. Very lightweight and flexible, nicely cushioned with a great midfoot wrap. My feet tend to splay out in the forefoot and I didn't have a problem with the toebox. They are slightly longer than the Precisions but I stuck with the same size. (I ordered two pair, one blue and one silver. The blue fit great while the silver seemed 1/2 size too big. Not sure if it was something with that specific pair or if the silver runs slightly bigger (different man'f. location?). Overall, these could be the best training shoes that I've ever used.
From: Brad, Gurnee, Il, USA
Comments: I have a wide forefoot, and wore a 12.5 2E in the 890V2. Loved them; the toebox was plenty wide, but had a nice snug feel, and I wore them out, which, of course, meant the V2 was no longer available when I needed new ones. Ordered the same size in the V3, right? The entire shoe is bigger, e.g. has a *lot* more material in the upper all around to the extent that I have to lace them with a special pattern to pull the outside of my forefoot inside the last. I had to make sure they were 12.5s after putting them on. They're still sloppy - material bunches, etc. - but serviceable. Tempted to try a different size just to see what is going on. I really like the 890 series - the drop is good, cushioning isn't excessive, and they're really light. Not sure about this one.
From: George, Virginia
Comments: NB still has not addressed the low volume toe box. It may be just a tad roomier than 890v2's but the top of the forefoot feels compressed in these shoes and it's not a width problem but a height issue. Cushioning is somewhat firm and depends on your footstrike. Feels firmer than a Mizuno wave rider16 but softer than the Nike Vomero8's.
From: Mike, NY, NY
Comments: I've found the M890v3 is a great shoe with the exception of the low volume toe box. As an aspiring mid-foot striker I really like this shoe's versatility. The lower offset gives me the ability to work on my form during shorter runs and maintains enough cushioning to protect me during longer runs. Unfortunately, the low volume toe box irritated my large toe. I could mitigate the discomfort with different socks but after 5 runs of various lengths I gave up on this version of the shoe.
From: Adam, Tacoma, WA
Comments: May be the perfect shoe. For me at least. Strikes a great balance of comfort, speed and road-feel. Fits beautifully and just sort of disappears underfoot. Provides really nice spring back from the road and maintains some decent road feel. I just have no desire to run in any of my other shoes right now. Always training for some marathon or another, and frankly wish I'd worn these in my race last week.
From: Peter, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Compact screw assemblies have 475-kN static load capacity
Rexroth offers newly developed planetary screw assemblies that allow for heavy loads to be moved quickly. The drive elements are available in five sizes with a static load capacity of up to 475 kN. The compact units require less installation space than ball screw assemblies with the same capacity. The drive elements are suitable for intermediate and heavy engineering applications, such as pressing and machining.
The design with large contact areas helps improve load-bearing capacity without increasing dimensions. Planetary gears with a defined contact profile rotate inside a nut parallel to the axis around a bolt. The numerous contact areas contribute to a high axial rigidity and load-bearing capacity.
The planetary bolts rotate inside the nut, allowing them to run smoothly with decreased noise. The sealing technology allows for long lubrication intervals.
Screw diameters of 0.79, 1.18, and 1.89 in. and leads of 0.20 and 0.40 in. are available.

Brown the pork chops before adding them to the casserole for added flavor—and a jump-start on the cooking.
The recipe calls for browning the pork chops without oil, for a leaner casserole. Cut the fat a little further by using reduced-fat soup and fat-free (skim) milk.
"Hiding" the pork chops under the rest of the ingredients during bake-time keeps them moist and juicy.

At a Jewish day school in Northampton that her children attended, Simona Pozzetto was known as "the challah lady," despite the fact that she'd been raised Catholic in Milan, Italy. Her bread was so beloved that some children refused to eat any loaf that wasn't Simona's.
As it is, Simona's is an unlikely story. But, if you press further, her story rises, like the challah braid, all the strands blending together into one big, beautiful loaf. One Friday morning, I visited Simona to learn to make challah. She kneaded and folded the dough on the kitchen counter as she talked about the bread and about her life.
In Padua, Simona received her bachelor's degree in psychology. For her work as an organizational psychologist in Milan, she needed to learn English, and so in 1999, her employer sent her to America to the Penobscot School in Rockland, Maine, for English-language immersion. She indeed learned English, earned a master's degree in social work at Simmons College in Boston, and met many Americans, including Ed Weisman, a native of Framingham, Massachusetts. They married in Milan in 2002 and returned to live in the United States. Ed is Jewish, and, though Simona wasn't actively looking for a new faith, she found herself drawn to his.
"The more I read, the more it made sense to me," she says. "I was so convinced of it that to my surprise, I converted." Simona loved to cook and bake, and in addition to her Italian specialties, she learned to make challah, the traditional braided bread served on special occasions, including Shabbat, the seventh day of the Jewish week (from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday).
Ed and Simona adopted two children from Ethiopia, a brother and sister, ages 4 and 2. Then, a year later, Simona gave birth to a baby boy. Within just seven years, Simona went from living with her parents outside Milan to living in a small town in Massachusetts with her new husband, speaking her new language, practicing her new faith, raising three multicultural children, and baking challah that's been hailed as "like my grandmother used to make!" At first, Simona followed the recipe published on the King Arthur Flour Web site. Then she began to adapt it–and that is what has earned her bread its accolades.
As we talked, carpenters were working on the house next door. "My parents bought it," she explained. "They'll come in the summer and plant grapes in the backyard and have gardens." The children will also know her world, her Italy. But, on Friday evenings, they'll all gather around the Shabbat table, and they'll eat Simona's challah.

probs compiling in xcode
i'm quite new in making externals for max with xcode.
i installed xcode and the sdk things correctly i think.
then i have opened an existing project to see if i can build an external object (.mxo). i've added all the frameworks too.
in one of the uploaded pictures you can see which files are in my projects.
but when i click build xcode creates a file with the extension .mxo but it is only 4kb big. and i can't open it in max (as you can see it in another picture)
all the messages from xcode and max are attached as well.
i really don't know what to do now that xcode builds up a correct mxo file.
maybe some of you know what to do.
it would be really amazing if someone could help me.
thank you very much!
[attachment=167504,2472] [attachment=167504,2473] [attachment=167504,2474]
The line 'pbxcp: st: No such file or directory' suggest that there's some reference to something called 'st' somewhere in your settings. AFAIK pbxcp is an internal stuff of XCode that copies referenced files into the bundle, so for some reason it thinks that you have a file called 'st' which, in fact, you don't have.
thanks for your reply!
but i don't really know where i can find this file "st".
i have looked in the settings but can't find anything.
would it help to add a picture of my settings?
thanks a lot!
i've choosen another way.
i created a project exactly like this post:
but i get the following errors: see picture!
the only difference is that i am using xcode 3.0
i'm trying to compile a mxo file now for 3 days but without success.
it would be amazing if somebody could help me out.
thank you!
the post you've linked is from 2005. Did you try just downloading the most recent SDK and the most recent documentation (which AFAIK is included in the SDK), and just trying to compile one of the example projects that you can find in the SDK? If not, please make sure that you're able to compile at least one of the example projects that came with the SDK (you should be able to compile these without any modification). If you succeed with that, you should copy one of the example projects and replace the example code with your own.
hey ádám!
i've downloaded sdk 5.1.7. i think this should be the latest version
but what is afaik? do i need that?
i tell you what i did for the external setup.
i copied the c74support folder into /Library/Frameworks/c74support
i also copied the folder MaxAPI.framework into /Library/Frameworks/
because for now i'm really confused where to put that stuff in.
but i think this should be the right directory.
then i have the whole sdk-5.1.7. folder on my desktop from where i'm opening the example patches. but i'm always getting a lot of errors.
for example i opened the simplemax xcodeproject. no file in the project is red marked so i think everything should be fine. but when i want to compile that i get 11 errors and 1 warning. (the errors are like the picture from my last post)
i think the problem is'nt that big but for now i don't really know which path or which file i should change. maybe you know what to do.
thanks a lot for your help!
i don't really understand the sentense with not and nothing.
but it doesn't depend on that where the framework is located.
or what do you mean?
fact is, that xcode recognizes the maxapiframework but i still get the errors mentioned in the 4.png file some post above.
so the thing is that i just have to download the sdk and put the folder wherever i want?
and i don't have to change any paths or stuff like that?
and especially the line: HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS = /Developer/Headers/FlatCarbon "$(C74SUPPORT)/max-includes" "$(C74SUPPORT)/msp-includes"
in this folder on my computer there are no header files or do i have to ignore this line.
and don't you know what my errors mean in the file 4.png?
i'm really sorry that i'm so lame but i'm relly becoming desperate because i'm repeating this process on and on.
thanks for your help! i really really appreciate that!
it seems that i have just some something wrong in my paths.
i found the file "ext_obex.h" and changed a little bit in the paths.
exactly i only changed the symbol " before and after the path and then i only got 1 error left (in the picture 6.png)
i also posted a little picture of my project settings: maybe it's easier to find the mistake on that way (5.png)
thank you so much for your patience so far!
[attachment=167686,2484] [attachment=167686,2485]
i did what you said. downloaded the sdk again and placed it directly on the hard drive. AND…it works. i don't receive any errors.
i just opened an example xcodeproject and built the project.
a mxo-file has been generated but it has only 4kb.
and when i include all the examples in the file path in max and want to add an object the max window says: no such object.
when i looked at the size of the thresh.mxo file fore example. this file has 41kb on my computer. but the external i built just 4kb.
so another problem but i think the success can't be that far away.
thanks so much for your help so far!
that' what i already did.
when i type in the first letters in max, max gives me a preview of which objects begin with these letters so i think max can find the object but cannot load it.
as is said i think the problem is inside xcode. because the built external is only 4kb big and not for instace 41kb when i look at the thresh.mxo file in my original max folder which comes with the original max.
so maybe there is something wrong in xcode. but when i build it i get no errors
hope you know what i mean.
thank you!
my version of xcode is 3.0
and i'm not that used with the terminal so here is my zip file:
oh ok.
i found the folder where the built objects are in.
now my file is 25kb big (attached rock.mxo.zip)
and i have included the folder where the project is in (rock.zip)
when i include this folder to max file paths and want to add this object is is marked red but the max window doesn't give me an error.
you were right! i'm sorry!
everything was working as long as i changed the name of the c file.
i should have know that this can't be working as long as i don't change anything in the code.
so i tried to compile an example and include it. and it is working.
everything is fine now!
THANK YOU so much for your help and your patience!
i think the main problem was the path thing with the search files. so i completely became hysterical of these small problems.
hope to meet you again in this forum for "real" problems.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Utah Mine Safety Commission held their fourth meeting in Price. Their first meeting was a teleconference after the commission was formed by Utah governor, Jon Huntsman Jr. The second meeting was held at the Western Energy Training Center and the next meeting at the Huntington Elementary. The mission of the Mine Safety Commission is to look at mine safety and accident prevention and to make recommendations in that regard. Scott Matheson, chairman for the commission introduced the members of the commission which include: State Sen. Mike Dmitrich, Rep. Kay McIff, Dennis O'Dell, UMWA safety, Huntington Mayor Hilary Gordon, Price Mayor Joe Piccolo, David Litvin, Utah Mining Association Of Coal Operators And Suppliers, Sen. Jake Garn along the John Baza, director of Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining.
Miles Nelson, vice president of workforce education and Dale Evans, program manager of mining technology department; both from the College of Eastern Utah were the first presenters.
Nelson explained the grant program for training involving MSHA monies. In 2003 the governor declared that UCAT would be the grant designator. The legislature merged CEU and the Applied Technology College. They would maintain the MSHA grant program.
The MSHA grant program is not a fully funded program. These grants are used for miner training and miners also pick up the cost of their training. All MSHA grants require a match. The state has been supportive from the college's standpoint. The legislature also gives funds which are put with the grant funds to add more services. One of the goals listed when applying for these grants includes bringing quality and affordable training to miners. Another goal is to improve safety in small mines and to offer training skills for the instructors.
The Labor Commission offers certification programs and testing. A portion of these grant funds go to the Labor Commission to maintain these certifications. They receive $25,000 per year.
Nelson listed one of the benefits from the training at CEU as the open entry open exit scheduling; this flexibility works well for the miners and CEU has tried to make the training schedules as flexible as possible. Competency tests make sure trainees have learned the information.
Evans said he is a third generation miner and he is lucky to have spent his career in mining since the 70s. He has worked in management for union and nonunion mines in Utah, Colorado and Nevada. He has also been involved in overseas mining and in Mexico. He sees the need for a good safety society in mining.
Classes which train the trainers and education is the key. Evans said he is a certified mine safety professional and proud to direct the department that serves the mining industry. The MSHA grant provides money for compliance training. In 2006, 1,860 miners completed this training with four part-time and two full-time instructors. Students from 16 states and 21 counties in Utah with people from England also attending the training. Of the 1,860 students, 480 people were from outside the region. The national and the state grants programs are to prevent accidents and diseases. They also offer refresher training for those already in the workforce. Nationwide this training encompasses 200,000 miners and contractors each year by providing proper and effective training.
Evans said, "We work hard to assure every miner goes home safely. Education is the tool for gaining knowledge and exercising good judgment. We work with compliance and training so miners can keep their jobs. Training under the grant includes 16 hours of surface training, 32 underground and eight hour refresher courses for all types of mining."
Training for mine rescue and fireboss are also part of the regime. They have two instructors who train the trainers. There is also a 15 week mine foreman training; electrical preparation and electrical recertification. Evans said, We will offer special course subjects to meet the operators needs. We also offer CPR and EMT courses. In addition to all the courses we hold a mine rescue tournament each year. We work closely with the Labor Commission. We work hard to ensure the miner certification is at the highest standard. We hold workshops and work with MSHA field supervisors to ensure training is done to the highest standards."
Evans said they also work with miners rights teaching them about fall protection, electrical hazards, hearing loss, respiratory, first aid, ventilation, mine gases and other known hazards. The instructors have a vast array of knowledge on a variety of subjects. The instructors will even conduct onsite trainings at the mine operators request and adapt training to site specific needs.
Evans said funding has diminished and not kept up with the times. In 1980, $6 million was split among 36 states and in 2007 $8.2 million was split between 49 states, the Navajo nation and Puerto Rico. "The piece of the pie keeps getting smaller," said Evans, "The money is not adequate. Independent trainers have picked up the slack. Many of these trainers exceed MSHA standards. Being safe and productive starts with a well trained workforce.
Evans said simulated training for mine rescue and for electrical-fire boss certification and other areas can improve the safety so each miner can return safely at the end of the day.
Matheson thanked Nelson and Evans for their presentation. He can't imagine how that much curriculum can be delivered with just four part-time and two full-time instructors.
Other states have taken the initiative to exceed MSHA requirements. What have they done that maybe Utah should do?
Evans said in West Virginina new miners have an 80 hour training and are required to take a state test to show competency. Apprentice miners work with professional mines to enhance the quality of the miners. Additional certification and refresher courses are also required.
Evans said it is a struggle to keep up with the amount of law changes and transfer that knowledge to the miners.
Matheson wondered how the working relationship with WETC was evolving. Nelson said they have a responsibility to work with WETC and bring the three entities together. They are currently in the process of moving their offices to the WETC facility which will facilitate working together and developing curriculum.
Matheson wondered about collaboration with the mine operators to customize training and how effective company provided training is?
Evans said MSHA encourages the operators to use the state grants program to assist operators with the training. Quality training and instructors to assist with this training are a must. The trainers will travel to the mine site where specific hazards can be addressed. This is especially important for refresher training. Site specific training is very important.
Matheson said they have heard from a number of presenters about the conditions of Utah mining being different than anywhere else. Do you have any recommendations on enhanced training to address conditions other states don't have?
Evans said we have the best experts in the world in our retired miners and it would be a mistake to overlook the contribution these miners can make as committees are formed and training enhanced. "These miners have been through it, we need to collaborate with them to come up with training courses," said Evans.
Sen. Dmitrich said he is happy the CEU mining department is moving to the WETC facility. He wondered about an advisory committee with coal operators. Nelson said they had an active community committee around the time of the merger and they are interested in getting that going again.
Sen. Dmitrich also wondered about the testing. Evans said it is a competency based training and you go through the interactive training and must complete each 10 question module with 80 percent accuracy. The refresher courses are mostly lecture based to bring in the new trends in the industry. "If we had people dedicated to competency based training it would be more effective and we would have more effective and well trained employees," said Evans.
Dmitrich said funding needs to be looked at for these training courses. Evans said MSHA selects the subjects that have to be covered and that includes all the minimum requirements and the Center can add to it. This basic training must be done with a MSHA approved instructor and the testing is included.
Dmitrich wondered about unified training. Evans said they will need to work with the legislature for additional money for training. Dmitrich said he will support any legislation along these lines for funding for training.
Litvin recognized the importance of one central and unified training center. He is glad to hear things are going well on the development of this center. He sees coordination between mine operators and trainers being crucial in the development of new miners. What are the needs of mine operators? Make sure it is a continued effort. It doesn't do any good to have training that is not pertinent to the situation. We have a unique situation. What education needs do we have? Litvin sees something missing and that is the culture of working safely. Putting safety first and the importance of working safely must be put first. "Is that being done?" questioned Litvin.
Evans said they wish to include professionalism and responsibility in training. Miners are responsible for their own safety as well as those that work with and for them.
Litvin said this safety culture must include all the workers and not just the supervisors. There must be a work ethic and culture to put safety first.
Evans said they do put emphasis on miner rights and believe the individual miner is the most important asset. The psychology of safety should be included as part of training.
Evans said 24 of Utah's 29 counties have some type of mining. This includes 8,000 miners and contractors that need training. The funds aren't available to do this.
Litvin wondered what an estimate of the funds required would be to train and replace retiring miners.
Evans said in the next 10 years the older miners will be retiring and the younger miners will need to take their place. This is a crisis and something needs to be done now. Education needs to be directly involved.
WETC is developing longer term certifications for those reer and obtain a degree.
Gordon wondered what the cost of the simulator trainers would be. Nelson said they are a broad price range, but very expensive, a basic simulator can be purchased and components added as funding becomes available. This type of training could be very advantageous to the mine operators. Miners could be trained on properly setting timbers and learn how to operate equipment outside the actual mine.
Brad King, vice president of student advancement at CEU and also a state legislator along with Bob Topping, the program director for WETC spoke to the mine commission next.
King said he thinks there are three areas where a difference really can be made. Technology and training can lead to safe practices. CEU is a partner with industry and government to make a difference. King said CEU has developed a scholarship fund for the miners families and $19,000 to date has been donated to assure the miners families can address their educational goals.
Topping said he has been at the WETC for a year now. Workforce development is his focus. He worked for 26 years in construction infrastructure and has a vast background. He was approached by WETC to be a part of this process to develop the energy training center and what better place than Utah which is an epicenter for energy. We need to be innovative and develop our rural economic development, we need to bring new talent in and retain those we do have. We need to attract talent while utilizing the existing talent. We need to create world class skills while being competitive and safe. Seventy percent of the energy workforce is getting ready to retire. We need to understand the methods and what it takes to be safe. We are going to lose 70 percent of our workers in the next 10 years. How are we going to develop those needed skills in the coming up group. There is a performance gap. Education, industry and government must work together on training and that training must be flexible and specific workforce training. Since the mid 80s fatalities have gone down, but are now going up. We need to take a broader approach. Training provided at WETC addresses universal skill sets. As workers move from site to site they are quantifiable. Exactly what are those skill sets, WETC has defined those skill sets and degree programs will be developed along those lines. People need to understand what it takes to be safe. This strategy is based on hands-on experience and a situation based learning program. As new workers are brought in, their skills must be tapped into. Topping also emphasized the process of training with simulators and their effectiveness. By putting miners in virtual environments with training conducted by seasoned workers great strides can be made. These simulators can be obtained as soon as money becomes available.
Topping said in an effort to educate others about the energy industry they participated in a super tour where elementary and high school teachers were taken to various energy producing sites and taught the basics. This type of energy literacy can attract new talent to the industry.
Topping envisions WETC as a world class model to assist energy and attract new talent. Infrastructure will have to be established so we can attract, retain and advance new workers and bring in new families to the area.
Matheson said he appreciated Toppings commitment and expertise.
