BASS PORT MOD for Q701:
(sounds great with the Q701, but I haven't tested it on the K702/1 or K712)
Step by Step instructions:
Some measurements of the Bass Port Modded Q701 vs Stock:
I figured this headphone deserves it's own thread. To me it's too different than the K701 and K702 to post comments in any of those threads. It just feels wrong.
Well, first off, I've had a love/hate thing for the K701/K702 for YEARS. I've owned the K702 or K701 at least four times. I always had something to complain about with it. I kept trying to deal with it's problems but just could not do it. It had more positives than negatives for sure.
First complaint I had with the K702 was that it had very fatiguing treble. Some strange peak in there that drove my ears crazy. This was on any amp. I've tried about four different amps and even a receiver. Even gave it about 100 hours of burn-in. This wasn't a case of garbage tracks and only occurred maybe 10-15% of the time.
Second complaint was that it often felt as if the soundstage was sometimes abnormally huge and not always as accurate as it could be. At random, music would sound too distant when it really shouldn't be. It's not a case of it being recorded that way. Vocals were especially a problem. Sometimes female vocals that are recorded to be very up-front are not always that way on the K702. They are, but could be a little more accurate.
Sometimes it also felt as if there was a slight recession in the mids somewhere and often the mids were a bit lacking. Strange I know. Again, this was with many different amps. I would say the K702 is slightly thin with a touch of warmth. I still think it's warmer than the K550, Koss A/250, SR-225 and DT-880 though.
Ok...so I did my research and found the Q701 SHOULD be identical to the K702 in sound. I believe someone found that use the same driver. This doesn't matter one bit and means nothing. Any tiny internal change could change the sound. It's not hard to do.
Took a risk and got the Q701 to try. It immediately sounds a lot warmer than the old K702 I had. No, there is no huge bass boost, but somehow the mids sound much fuller. Seems like there may be a tiny bit more mid-bass. The treble is most definitely 100% NOT fatiguing. This is coming from someone who found the K702's treble painful at times. (updated 4/7/12): If the treble on the Q701 is ever fatiguing, it's due to the recording. I can verify this with other accurate headphones. Some of my songs sound as if they have the mids and treble cranked up at the studio. For example, some of U2's stuff or from a singer from Japan named Hitomi. Well mastered CDs are NEVER fatiguing for me on the q701. It could also be due to poor amp/dac synergy, but this is rare.
The soundstage also seems a little smaller. It just seems more accurate and not like you're listening to music in an airplane hangar. My only idea is that the button has caused this effect. I have my doubts if AKG just slapped a button on there for no reason without thinking about the resulting sound. Same with the foam behind the button.
Based on what people have said before, AKG likes to improve models very slightly with different revisions. They did this with the K702 and now possibly the Q701. It's just the same headphone, but much improved I think. Very, very minor differences. No, there is no massive bass boost.
The bass on the K702 kind of makes me sad, but with the Q701 I'm really quite surprised. Perfectly acceptable for me and not bass light IMO. That's more like the SA3000, Ad700 or K400 (stock).
Previously I ranked the K501 and K601 over the K702. The Q701 most definitely is ranked higher than those for me. Q701 seems almost as warm sounding with my setup as the K601. OK, not quite, but close. Not like say the HD-598 or HD-600! To me, the Q701 with my setup seems to be a mix between the HD-598 and the K702. Strange huh?
As much as I love the HD-598, after switching from the Q701, everything seems so..muffled. The HD-598 really isn't though and I still love it.
Here's another interesting thing. I previously used the K702 for gaming and it was stupid annoying. Everything felt abnormally too distant. I'd have a person holding a torch right next to me without 2 feet on screen and it felt like they were twice as far away. Kind of ruined the experience. I've played through 30 hours of Skyrim and have not experienced this once.
The soundstage is large, but not massive. Just about perfect.
Some people say a headphone can't be "boring" if it's neutral and it's just my music, but I don't know about this. I think with the Q701 this is definitely the case. I can be listening to specific music and it bores me to death. Sometimes it's easy to blame the headphone, but with the Q701 it's most definitely the music and not the headphone. Some tracks make me think the Q701 is a snore fest, but on other tracks I'm impressed. I noticed this with my bass light DT-770 600 and now the Q701. BTW I do think the Q701 is fairly forgiving compared to the DT-880 and my KRK KNS-8400. Still needs good music to be at it's best. Well recorded lower bitrate files (not 128kbps mp3!) can still sound good. Sometimes.
When I listen to the Q701 though it feels as if it's the most well balanced headphone I've ever heard or close to it. K501 has the edge though. You think the HD-598 is one smooth sounding headphone? The Q701 is just like that, but even more so. I'd never ever say that about the K702. (update: 4/7/12) This isn't quite the case after further testing since the HD-598 can make very harsh and fatiguing tracks sound a bit easier on the ears. Very slightly. On well mastered CDs, they're about equal in terms of how smooth they sound.
The Q701 is supposed to have foward upper mids, but somehow it doesn't appear to make the headphone sound less balanced. They're not that forward at all. To me, the Q701 doesn't really sound like it has really forward mids. Just fuller sounding than the K702. I'd call this headphone very balanced sounding. Yes, really. I won't say neutral or someone will call me crazy.
People who own the K702 and love it would be best not upgrading because it might not be worth it. If you're one who had several issues with the K702 like me, it's worth a try. The old K701 haters should at least give the Q701 a chance at a meet if they can. Bassheads should still avoid the Q701, but that's obvious!
Right now I'd say the Q701 is one of my favorites for sure. Audio Technica ATH-AD2000 is another that'd rank very high for me, but I just could not deal with it's comfort. If I found alternative pads for it I'd buy it again in a second. When I get rich I want to try the W1000X or W1000.
Some say there is absolutely zero difference between the two. This is not what my ears hear and none of my gear has changed. I think sometimes it will often taken quite a long time to figure out the differences. For example, it took me forever to find out the differences between the KRK KNS-6400 and 8400. Even after selling the 8400 I had missed hearing some of the differences some people had pointed out! If you were running the Q701 and K702 from portable amps and no DAC, then the difference MIGHT be even smaller. I don't know since I never tried it. The difference between them is mostly the same as long as it's from a decent desktop amp. For me it's very obvious and I feel the Q701 is a 10-15% improvement over the K702.
One other idea I had is that maybe AKG improved the Q701 cable. Highly unlikely, but maybe it's a tad better than the K702 cable. This could alter the sound a very tiny bit. It seems like the Q701 cable is a bit thicker, but probably not.
Again...very small differences but enough to make me like the Q701. I've used these non-stop for about a month without any complaints. With the K702 that'd be impossible for me.
4/7/12 UPDATE: I've used these since October 2011 without a single complaint. I've made a Canare cable for $5 to slightly take the edge off the treble on poor recordings. It adds even more warmth to the Q701's sound. It's my primary gaming headphone and i've used it for at least 100+ hours in Skyrim. For $235 this headphone is a steal!

The founding ancestors of the Nagé people are depicted as paired male and female sculptures known as ana deo [children of the gods]. Seated atop poles adorned with incised patterning, the elegant figures are naked with pronounced genitalia. As in many cultures, the founding ancestors, the original mother and father, are seen as the source of community fertility and as guardians of the lineage of their most powerful descendants. Ana deo are positioned at either side of the entrance to village temples.

He was conscious and helped away from the course by paramedics after a couple minutes. He likely broke a collarbone, those attending to him said, but appeared to be OK otherwise.

Alarm system questions cannot be answered on this forum. These systems are not what I can answer. Without being physically at the vehicle and not knowing what kind of electrical service has been done on the vehicle, there is no possible way to give an accurate answer over the internet. My expertise is in Ignition/key based anti-theft systems. These issues include GM VATS (resistor chip in key blade) PASSLOCK (MRD)-ignition lock rotation based, no special ignition key and the PKIII Transponder (computer chip in key) systems. These systems are not alarm based and are integral with the starting of the engine. This is why I cannot diagnose alarm problems without physically looking at the vehicle: Alarm systems are a completely different annimal than ignition key/lock based anti-theft system. Many alarm questions come from vehicles 10 years old, and since older, many hands that had been involved over the years.I am an expert in all GM factory (ignition/key based)systems. Alarm system questions pose to many situations beyond my knowledge as to what has been done to the vehicle over the years. Some guy may have actually wired the stereo into the alarm system. Who knows? Over my past 30 years in vehicle wiring repair, I have seen unbelievable wiring disaters done by guys that consider themselves "mechanics." I have seen stereos and alarms intalled using surgical tape. I have seen modules burn up, un-fused circuits, wiring jambed between the doors and even lamp cord used for a starter kill. To answer alarm questions over the internet without examining the vehicle is like asking; What does it take to remove a dent?

Komunyakaa wins Lilly Poetry Prize
Posted June 15, 2001; 11:08 a.m.
Komunyakaa, professor of the Council of the Humanities and creative writing, has been awarded this year's Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize. The $100,000 award is one of the largest poetry prizes in the United States and recognizes extraordinary literary accomplishment.
Joseph Parisi, editor of Poetry magazine and chair of the selection committee for the prize, said, "In a period when many writers of narrow focus have coasted along by composing variations on one or two themes - and some have even built careers with barely a single new idea to speak of - Yusef Komunyakaa has impressed us again and again by his breadth of vision and the originality of his ever-evolving style. From the start, he dazzled the cognoscenti with his prodigious gifts for image-making and story-telling in poems of unusually dramatic, or rather, cinematic impact."
Komunyakaa won the Pulitzer Prize in 1994 for "Neon Vernacular: New and Selected Poems." His most recent work, published this year, is titled "Pleasure Dome: New and Collected Poems, 1975-99."

Three-day pool event to bring cheer to children for Christmas
By Melissa Vander Plas
Thursday, December 06, 2012 3:03 AM
Tyler Stork, at left, is organizing a three-day pool tournament this weekend that will bring cheer to many local children. Teaming up with Miles Petree, owner of The Old Legion Hall and On The Crunchy Side, the two will present a fun-filled weekend of pool, good eats and great charity.
As the son of Harmony's legendary "Easy Eddie" of Easy Eddie's Pool Hall fame, Tyler Stork has been playing pool since he was "knee high." As the holiday season gets underway, Stork is combining his love of the game with a desire to help area children have a joy-filled Christmas. He has partnered with Toys for Tots to host a three-day pool tournament and toy drive to be held this weekend at The Old Legion Hall in Harmony.
Stork explained this will be the eighth event of this kind he's held, though it is the first one of this magnitude being held locally. "Most of the others were held in Phoenix," he said. "And, in the past, I've helped specific individuals and families who have been struggling with health or financial issues."
Because he knows what it's like to be down on one's luck, Stork said he's hoping to make his own holiday a bit brighter by knowing he's done something to bring happiness to children through this fundraiser for Toys for Tots.
The event kicks off on Friday night, at 7 p.m., with a Scotch Doubles tournament. The team of two will alternate shots until one misses and play goes to their opponent. Stork noted play will be according to league rules.
There will be nine tables set up in The Old Legion Hall, provided at a discounted rate by D&R and Family Fun Center in Rochester. Cues will be available for use for those who do not have their own.
"My mom (Darcy Erickson of Mabel) will be here on Friday to be my partner for the Scotch Doubles and my sister, Anna, will be my partner on Sunday for the adult and kid Scotch Doubles," Stork noted. He's thinking he will be too busy on Saturday organizing the singles tournament to play himself, but would like to if at all possible.
Saturday's singles tournament begins with registration at 9 a.m. with a 10:30 a.m. start. There will be an upper and lower bracket to accommodate players of all skill levels.
"It will also be a good day to come and spectate," Stork said. "We are going to have some master players - the best of the best."
On Sunday, families and youth will be included in the fun with adult and child teams in two age divisions, 10 to14 and 15 to18. Registration begins at 10 a.m.
"I wanted to allow everyone, of all ages and skill levels, to be included," Stork explained. "Pool is starting to become a dying sport. But the interaction you get with others is great. It's a very diverse sport - a lot of people from different walks of life play pool."
Plus, Stork feels this is a good opportunity for people to learn the game. "It's not all about winning," he said. "It's about learning the game and how to talk the talk. It can be a good come-together family event."
Registration is $15 for lower division and $20 for the upper division players. It is also asked that participants bring one or more new unwrapped gifts for each player entered in the tournament.
Stork explained there will be a payout for first, second and third places in each division.
To register early, one may call Stork at (507) 429-6324 or (507) 886-3554.
In addition to the pool tournament, funds will be raised through raffle prizes donated by local businesses and individuals.
The main raffle item will be a retro-looking Rowe Juke Box valued at $3,500. Stork explained only 120 $20 tickets will be sold for this refurbished relic. He noted the juke box now has a touch screen, Internet hook up, MP3 capabilities as well as the ability to play music from a memory stick as well as download playlists.
"I continue to be in utter shock and amazement as to how the local businesses and individuals have pulled together and supported this," Stork said.
Toys for Tots will have a box in front of The Old Legion Hall this week through Monday for anyone wishing to donate a toy to the cause and several Marines representing the non-profit organization will be attending the event on Friday and Sunday to share the spirit of giving at the event. "We hope to present a donation and the toys on Sunday when the Marines are here," Stork added.
Catering for the event will be done by On The Crunchy Side with munchies and snacks.
"I really hope to have a good turnout," Stork concluded. "I want people to come and have a good time and it's all for the right reasons. If nothing else, it's a Christmas party to myself - a way for me to feel good about helping the kids have a good Christmas."

If I went, you'd have a hard time getting me to return home.
Great report.
Excellent report Henry, thanks!
Reading about those 'Ocean Side' bones has got my blood pumping - its been too long since I was down there!
Back from Eleuthera...
Hey gang!,
Just back from 17 great days on Eleuthera Monday...(had an unexpected "bonus" day due to bad flying weather).
Eleuthera never fails to dissapoint my buddy and I and this was our most enjoyable relaxing trip yet. I suppose we're both going "Bahamian" as we never felt pressured to get out and cast a line. Many mornings we just sat on our Cupid's cottage porch at the Duck Inn and enjoyed a few coffee's while discussing our days fishing options.
Week 1:
Admittedly, the first week presented us with tough fishing conditions. Temperatures dipped into the low 60's and even into the high 50's one or two nights. The effect combined with low tides overnight and high bonechilling winds was dramatic. Low overnight tides with cold and wind means that the flats suffer from "wind-chill". The exposed flats substrate cools off dramatically in these circumstances and when the morning flood tide comes...the water picks up that chill resulting in water temps a good 5 to 10 degrees lower than that prefered by bones.
Those cold flats resulted in some of our favorite (and new) backwater "kayaking" areas in South Eleuthera to be totally devoid of bones early in the day. The only fish seen there were hungry cruising Sharks and Cuda's who were likely wondering, like us!...where were the bones?
This was our first trip where we actually had to sleep with blankets on and never even considered using the airconditioner. Many of the local townsfolks appeared as if they were preparing for a winter storm as they wore winter jackets and scarfs wrapped around their necks.
Some quality bones were caught that first week but not the typical hoards of stupid fish as in years past. Not to be put down by the conditions, we availed ourselves of the fantastic Jack, Grouper and Cuda fishing which kept our casting arms in shape as well as providing us with a couple quality fresh fish meals. We were once on a school of larger jacks that kept us entertained for more than an hour with instantaneous hit as the fly or lure hit the water...what great fun!
Week 2:
What a difference a week makes! Daytime/nightime temperatures warmed up significantly and the winds dropped down to a slight breeze most days. One afternoon, Max and I racked up 13 bones landed in less than 2hrs with many other hookups and chances as well as one good fish taken by a hungry 30lb class Cuda that came out of nowhere.
The calmer conditions meant that "Atlantic-side" beaches were beginning to fish well. One morning, I hooked up with 3 fish in a 1/2 hr and only managed to land the smallest one of about 3 1/2 lbs. The two lost fish (one came unplugged and the other broke off my 12.5lb tippet after a 150yard run)...we're both near the 30inch or 10-12lb mark. The key to hooking up with these big Atlantic side fish was to use a #2 or #4 heavily weighted fly and drop it within 10 to 15 feet of them. They'd find it in a hurry and eat it hungrily. Seems to me the pattern that developed would have the fish cruising the beaches the last 1/2 of the falling tide and the first half of the rising. During the full high tide and the full low tide...I couldn't find a bone anywhere.
Also witness for the first time in my short bonefishing career, an absolutely enormous "bonefish mud". We were paddling a remote carribean shoreline when we entered an area of smudgy water...that area soon turned into water so cloudy that your paddle blade couldn't be seen a foot below the surface. We couldn't tell for sure, but we were likely over what could be termed as an "acre" of mudding bones. The only bones seen and caught were on the edges and what great fun it was to throw a fly from the kayak with the leader knot still in the rod tip and have bonefish do backflips to get at the fly...he he!
Cudo's to Continental Airlines for their fantastic serving and going out of their way for their passengers. On Sunday April 9th, we had an originally scheduled departure from Govenor's Harbour airport at 4:20pm. Severe thunderstorms stretched from Eleuthera all the way to Miami and Fort Lauderdale and caused the delay/cancellation of many flights although a few aircraft arrived/departed in the occasional opening in the clouds. Bottom line, 8 hours at GHB and finally we could actually see the lights of our plane circling GHB. Then the bad news came, a storm directly over GHB wasn't passing quickly enough and the flight crew decided to turn back to FLL as opposed to risking running out of fuel waiting out the storm to land.
Continental cancelled our flight and put us up in the Citagoo Inn in GHB...who kept the restaraunt open late for us (as it was now 9:30pm) and also provided us a great breakfast before our return to GHB the next morning for a special flight back to FLL just for us and a handfull of others. "Hats-off!" Continental!...thanks!
All in all...a fantastic trip with lots of fish caught...friends made...and old aquaintences renewed! Many thanks to John and Katy Duckworth of the Duck Inn in Govenors Harbour for being the most absolutely fantastic hosts and friends. We'll see you again soon.
A little bonefish porn for you below...a nice Atlantic-side 7lber!

Grip a suture needle securely using a needle driver instrument.
Push the needle through the skin and into the base of the wound. Then pull the suture through the first side of the wound.
Push the needle through the base of the opposite side of the wound and bring it out as before. Tie the suture to close the wound.
When the suture is properly in place, it should form a U-shape.
To tie a suture, first loop it around the needle driver twice. Next, grab the short end of the suture with the needle driver.
Start by creating the first knot of a loop. Next, make a second single loop in the opposite direction. This completes the square knot.

Family: Cathartidae, American Vultures view all from this family
Description Plumage is mostly black, but adult has white underwing coverts and white inner flight feathers on upper wing. Bald, red head is seen only at close range. Juvenile plumage shows less contrast than adult.
Dimensions Length: 45-55" (1.1-1.4 m); Wngspn: 8' 6"-9' 6" (2.6-1.9 m)
Endangered Status The California Condor is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in California. This huge carrion-feeder has been declining since prehistoric times, probably because herds of large mammals became scarce in North America. By the 20th century its range had shrunk to a small area in the mountains north of Los Angeles. In the 1980s researchers discovered that some of the few surviving birds were dying of lead poisoning (contracted by consumption of animals killed with lead shot), and so all the remaining wild birds--five in number--were trapped and placed in zoos. Young birds have been reared in captivity, and reintroductions are being attempted, but it remains to be seen whether the effort to save the species from extinction will succeed. Approximately 50 captive-bred birds released in California and Arizona currently survive, but no California Condors are breeding in the wild. The "wild" condors undergo careful monitoring. Early released birds were killed by flying into power lines, so now the birds undergo a power-line aversion program. In 2000-2001 four birds died of lead poisoning and another dozen were treated for lead in their systems. Apparently the consumption of flesh contaminated by lead bullets is an ongoing problem, and the future of this species remains quite precarious.
Habitat Formerly extinct in wild; captive-bred birds now fly free in the Grand Canyon and at Big Sur, California.
Range California, Southwest
Discussion Unmistakable on account of immense size and silhouette in flight (the typical view). Recalls an oversized Black Vulture, with proportionately longer, broaderbased wings.

Megan Fox, who decided to famously publicly profess her undying love for Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe with a HUGE tattoo tribute on her inner arm, appears to have fallen out of love with Marilyn because she has started having the tattoo removed from her skin. Megan and her man Brian Austin Green made a red carpet appearance at a Jaguar event this week and showed off her disappearing Marilyn tattoo.
She's one of Hollywood's current leading ladies and a muse of Armani – and it seems that Megan Fox has decided that her numerous tattoos are no longer in keeping with her image. The 24-year-old brunette beauty appears to be in the process of having one of the most prominent inkings removed – a portrait of screen legend Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm. Some parts of the design appear to have disappeared already and all of it seems a lot fainter than normal. Some parts of the design appear to have disappeared already and all of it seems a lot fainter than normal. A heavy black tattoo like that would need numerous painful bouts of lasering to remove it totally, according to experts. Former Transformers star Megan has eight or nine examples of body art as well as the doodling of her blonde bombshell idol, whose real name was Norma Jean, including a quote saying 'we will all laugh at gilded butterflies' on her shoulder and a tribal mark on her left wrist. She showed off the fainter design on her arm as she accompanied husband Brian Austin Green to a party celebrating Jaguar cars, and inparticular, the 50th Anniversary of the company's E-Type at the IAC Building in New York City last week. Her body art has been previously covered up by stage make-up in a host of her movies and in some of her adverts.
And so … we must bid farewell to Marilyn Monroe, again. I'm actually surprised that Megan has made the decision to laser off this tattoo … it's her most famous tat and considering how well her career has been with the tattoo, I figured she'd keep it forever. As I understand it, black ink is the easiest to have removed but it does take a few sessions to get all of the ink lasered off. While I am a fan of tattoos, I have to admit that this one is kinda big … so mebbe it's for the best that it gets Peaced the Spork Out! What do y'all think … will you miss Megan's Marilyn Monroe tattoo?

The Showmark Padded Fancy-Stitched Bridle is perfect for the show ring. A recessed crown design allows the noseband hanger to hide in a discreet channel. Crown is also padded against the poll and contoured around the ears. 1/2" cheeks and stainless steel hardware. Laced reins included. Showmark bridles represent superior quality, up-to-date styles and unsurpassed value. Each bridle is handcrafted of Wickett & Craig American leather by one of the best bridle makers in the world. A fully integrated padded crown and matching lace reins are noteworthy features. Oakbark.
Properly adjusted cheek pieces will cause the bit to create two gentle wrinkles at the corner of the mouth on each side. Cheek piece buckles should generally be at the level of a horse's eye, and on a bridle that fits a horse's head very well, all buckles will generally be at the same level as each other. These cheek piece guidelines are just a suggestion, as finding a perfect fit on all horses is near impossible. Multiple holes are given on cheek pieces to allow for vast adjustment. Keep in mind that the proper position of the bit is a priority over buckle placement. Click Here for more information and examples.
Some horses can be difficult to fit in a stock size bridle. For this reason, additional bridle pieces can be bought in a variety of sizes and it is never a problem to mix and match sizes of individual pieces to get the proper fit.
For a bridle size chart, please refer to the "Size Guide" link that appears on the product page.

These concerts mark Michael Pratt's return as orchestra conductor after a sabbatical leave last fall.
Murakami currently is co-concertmaster of the Princeton University Orchestra, a member of the Princeton University String Quartet and a violin student of Anna Lim. A music major, she also is pursuing certificates in musical performance, Japanese and environmental studies. "Kiri is a wonderful violinist and has been a superb leader for the orchestra, but her gifts go beyond even that," Pratt said. "She's a talented young composer (who already knows how to write for orchestra) and the finest kind of all-around musical citizen."
Murakami began studying the violin and piano at the age of three and four, respectively. In 1993, she entered the Juilliard School to study violin, composition and piano. She was the first-prize winner in Juilliard's Bruch Violin Concerto Competition and earned recognition from the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts as a finalist in violin and an honorable mention recipient in composition. Her orchestral compositions, "Metamorphosis" and "Reminiscence," were given their premieres by the Juilliard Pre-College Orchestras. Her other musical activities include participating in the Aspen Music Festival and in the New York Youth Symphony, where she served as a concertmaster for three years.
The March 5-6 concerts will include a performance by Murakami of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Violin Concerto. Tickets are available at the Richardson box office , (609) 258-5000.

When a garden affair is on the agenda, my day is made. And today's soiree just so happens to be a garden affair complete with barn, ring bearer in seersucker, and pretty amazing light, captured so brilliantly by Kristin La Voie Photography. And the love at the center? Blog worthy, to say the least.
From the photographer… This is a stunning rustic barn wedding at Byron Colby Barn, just outside Chicago. Nestled between fields and charming homes, this venue is one of my favorite hidden gems in the suburbs. The barn was completely transformed into a gorgeous affair fit for a queen with Forget Me Knot's amazing florals on every table, the perfect Loveseat placed at the sweetheart table, and the adorable trees strung with lights and doves. Not to mention, the most adorable ring bearer on the planet, Michael (Joe & Diana's son) was dressed in the cutest seersucker suit and bow tie. The bridesmaids all wore the most unique dresses I've ever seen (which the bride found on Etsy). It was a perfectly sweet garden affair!

Jackett reflects on Crawley
Kenny Jackett was delighted to see Wolves emerge from last gasp drama against Crawley with all three points – but believes the team have more gears to hit as the season takes shape.
Wolves were pushed all the way by a free-passing Crawley side, and, after failing to add to Bjorn Sigurdarson's seventh minute header, found themselves back on level terms in the first minute of injury time thanks to Billy Clarke.
But Kevin McDonald's cross from a driving run was handled by Kyle McFadzean, and Leigh Griffiths stepped up to hammer home the resulting penalty.
Wolves third successive victory made it ten points from the first four games and maintained the unbeaten Sky Bet League One start, also putting them top of the table at least until Saturday's programme.
"I don't think it (Crawley's comeback) was complacency but I think we can play better," said Jackett.
"I think we have got an improvement in us and more gears to come from our team.
"I also thought that Crawley played very well – they put on an excellent performance and tested us as all the way.
"Being 1-0 up for the majority of the game, the opposition are going to attack and what we should have done, particularly in the second half, was finish our chances on the counter attack and put the game out of reach.
"We had numerous situations where we could have put the game away and are looking then to be a bit more incisive.
"The game went end to end and you could see somewhere along the line the equaliser coming because of the quality of Crawley's play.
"The last five minutes were certainly end to end as was all of the second half.
"When the equaliser did come we then did fantastically well to dig out a win in injury time.
"I thought it was an excellent run from Kevin McDonald to earn the penalty – a very good give-and-go and then he drove into the box really well.
"Both the substitutes have been involved with one creating the goal and the other scoring.
"I have seen it again and in this day and age, when the hand is away from the body I think it is a penalty.
"It is a very emotional game but I have seen it again and when the hand is away from the body and it is struck I think it is a penalty.
"I made sure I had another look before I came to speak to the press and in my opinion it was the right decision."
Jackett confirmed Griffiths started on the substitute's bench due to missing a large chunk of the week's training due to a court appearance in Scotland, which has now been resolved.
But he admitted he'd have picked no one better to take the decisive penalty, which came after a long delay due to Crawley protests.
"Leigh had a busy week up in Scotland and was in court yesterday so had missed the last few days of training," said Jackett.
"I was very pleased it was him taking the penalty.
"He is a natural finisher and in a big situation he calmly put the ball away very well."
Even with knowing his team can play better, Jackett is greatly encouraged by the fighting spirit which has seen the team chalk up crucial late victories against both Crawley and Bristol City the previous weekend.
"Sometimes you have to work out a way to win and it's never going to be easy," he says.
"We do feel we can play better after a very dominant start to the game but fair play to the opposition – Crawley played very well tonight and I am sure set some standards for their season.
"We found a way to win and have to continue to do that while being honest and concise about our performances which we feel we can improve.
"To overcome conceding the equaliser and get the result was very pleasing from my point of view.
"We are quite a new group and are still getting to know each other but there are encouraging signs but plenty to improve.
"But we have just won three games on the trot and doing that at any standard of football is a very good achievement."

Moros y Cristianos - Black Beans and Rice
A Scrumptious Cuban Side DishIntroduce your family to the tantalizing flavors of Cuba with Moros y Cristianos (also called Arroz Moro), a very popular dish of black beans and rice. The name recalls Spanish history: Tender GOYA® Black Beans symbolize Muslim Moors, and fluffy CANILLA® Extra Long Grain Rice stands in for Christian Spain. Simmered together, Moros y Cristianos soak up vibrant flavor from an array of herbs and vegetables. Serve this authentic dish with your family's favorite roasted or grilled meats, or all by itself – it's too scrumptious to pass up!
Serves 4
Prep time: 5 min.
Total time: 45 min.
3 tsp. GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 small onion, finely chopped (about ľ cup)
˝ cup green bell pepper, finely chopped (about ˝ cup)
2 tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic or 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. GOYA® Adobo with Pepper
1 tsp. sugar
˝ tsp. GOYA® Oregano Leaf
1 can (15.5 oz.) GOYA® Black Beans
1 GOYA® Bay Leaf
1 cup CANILLA® Extra Long Grain Rice
1 tsp. GOYA® White Distilled Vinegar
|Heat 2 tsp. oil in medium pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and peppers; cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, adobo, sugar and oregano, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
|Transfer liquid from can black beans to measuring cup; add enough water to measure 2 cups. Add liquid and bay leaf to pot; bring liquid to boil. Stir in black beans and rice. Bring rice mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, until rice absorbs water, about 25 minutes. Add vinegar; stir to combine.
|Remove rice from heat; let sit until rice is tender, about 5 minutes more.
|Evenly divide rice among serving bowls; drizzle with 1 tsp. olive oil.
Soft, moist leftover rice, guaranteed!
If you're tempted to toss leftover rice for fear the grains will dry out when reheated, try this trick to guarantee better-than-ever leftovers:
|Transfer rice to container with tight-fitting lid. (Rice can be stored in container for up to 3 days).
|To reheat, spoon rice into microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle rice with 2 tbsp. water per cup. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap; using tip of knife, poke small hole in plastic. Microwave on high, until hot (one minute for every cup).
This steamy environment coaxes moisture into the grains and helps to revive the soft, tender texture of the rice.

So there have been plenty of threads on here about running a pregnant bitch. But what about running one who is still nursing puppies?
Seems like my girl knew I wasn't going to get her any work while she was carrying, but now that the pups are a week old, she keeps looking at me with these pleading eyes. When I put on a cammo hat, or grab the bag of bumpers to train the other dog, she jumps out of the whelping box and comes running over.
Two days ago I let her have about a 200 yard mark, just to see what she'd do. She nailed it - almost no hunt at all, but she was kind of winded when she came back.
Should I let her work, or not?

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Saturday 29 Apr 2017 to Monday 8 May 2017:
Saturday is likely to be mainly dry and bright with temperatures less cold than recently, though it will still be rather cool for the time of year. However, rain is likely overnight in the far north and west and this may well spread across the rest of the UK on Sunday, with the best chance of drier weather in the east. There may be some further rain around on Bank Holiday Monday, but also some drier and brighter spells. As we move into the first week of May, we're expecting more settled weather to become established, with temperatures rising significantly giving us a warm week, perhaps very warm in some parts. The dry and settled weather is likely to last to the end of this period.
Updated at: 1309 on Mon 24 Apr 2017
UK Outlook for Tuesday 9 May 2017 to Tuesday 23 May 2017:
High pressure appears more likely to be dominant in the second week of May meaning that below average rainfall is most probable during this time. However, there is a chance of less settled conditions at times, especially across southern and southwestern areas. Temperatures are likely to be above average for the time of year with a chance of some very warm weather at times, with limited risk of frost. The forecast for the third week is less certain, though on balance, we might expect these settled and warmer than average conditions to continue.

|Simple: Your body is used to a certain amount of food, and when that amount falls drastically it doesn't think, "Ah, it must be swimsuit season." Instead, it assumes there's a famine going on. And because your body cares more about keeping you alive than slimming your thighs, your metabolism (the rate at which you burn calories) slows down. "Imagine your metabolism is a fire, and food is what feeds that fire," says personal trainer and registered dietitian Gina Crome of Lifestyle Management Solutions. "Without food, the fire dies down and so does your metabolism." To optimize weight loss, Crome recommends you keep that metabolic fire at a comfortable burn by eating small healthy meals and snacks throughout the day.
The other culprit: Guessing. Unless you are weighing out all of your food portions and keeping a food diary of every calorie (including that milk in your coffee), there's a good chance you're actually consuming more than you realize. "People have a better sense of what they're actually consuming when they write it down," says Laura M. Rosch, D.O., who specializes in obesity and nutritional disorders at the Garrett Wellness Center in Chicago.

|That skinny broad of a best friend likely has a higher metabolic rate than you do, says Dr. Rosch. Aside from gender (men generally have higher metabolisms), there are two other factors that control how your body uses energy: Age and muscle mass. If your friend isn't younger than you, then she likely has more muscle and therefore a higher metabolism. "When you have a lot of muscle mass, you have a higher burning furnace that requires more fuel to maintain," says Rosch. You can beat your friend at her own game by incorporating muscle-building weight-training into your workout.

| It's enough to make you want to throw that scale into the nearest trash compacter, isn't it? But the scale isn't the problem -- it's our own bodies, particularly the digestive track. Ideally you should be having two "number twos" per day, says Alicia Stanton, M.D., author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hormonal Weight Loss." If you're not, consider why. Are you routinely scarfing down a sandwich while battling rush hour traffic or sipping a smoothie while searching for Junior's lost homework assignment? "Stressful eating slows down the digestive process because it diverts all the blood away from your intestines, where you need it to absorb your food," says Dr. Stanton. "So you could have a colon full of food that's not moving through because you're so stressed out." And food that lingers will add pounds on the scale.

| First, stop weighing yourself so often! Stanton recommends no more than once a week, preferably naked, after using the bathroom in the morning. As to the night/day discrepancies, chalk it up to water. "When you're at rest, your body is detoxifying, filtering blood through your liver and kidneys," says Stanton. "That's why you have to go to the bathroom first thing in the morning." One liter of water can weigh 2.2 pounds, "and it's pretty easy to pee out a liter in the morning," she says. Nighttime perspiration can also account for lost ounces. So you're not losing two pounds of fat; you're losing two pounds of fluids and those are easily replaced by the beverages you consume throughout the day.

| A pair of blue jeans can be much more accurate than a scale, says Crome. "If your clothes are feeling a little snug, chances are you put on a few pounds," she says. Also consider purchasing a scale that measures body fat percentage as well as weight. This will help you know whether you're gaining muscle and losing fat even though your actual weight hasn't changed. Women should aim for between 18-25 percent body fat, says Stanton.

| Maybe. "If you're bleeding abnormally, spotting between periods or having heavy periods those could be signs that your hormones are out of whack, and that can contribute to problems with weight loss," says Stanton. And then of course there's good, old-fashioned bloating. Estrogen and progesterone fluctuations cause you to retain water, and that will push the scale upwards as far as four to five pounds. The other culprit could be those PMS cravings. Brain production of serotonin, the so-called "feel good" hormone, falls right before Aunt Flo's visit. Eating carbs triggers the brain to produce serotonin, which is why that chocolate bar can be so hard to resist. But there are calorie-free ways to boost your serotonin. "Doing things that relax you and make you feel good will go a long way," says Stanton. "Take a walk or a bath, read a book, daydream, talk to a friend or write in a journal." If a long walk just doesn't do it for you, indulge in the chocolate but opt for heart-healthy dark variety.

| Sleep, or the lack thereof, might be your problem. Remember when you were in your 20s you could stay out late and still dazzle at your early morning staff meeting? Now that you're in your 40s, you need an entire weekend to recuperate from watching Jon Stewart in real time. Blame your aging body, which just can't recover from emotional stress and sleep deprivation the way it used to. "I tell my patients all the time, 'You cannot lose weight if you are not sleeping,'" says Stanton. "When you were in your 20s you could, because your body bounced back from the hormone imbalances created by lack of sleep. But if you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s, you're not sleeping and you're stressed out, that weight loss is going to be very hard to come by."

| "The vegetarian diet is the healthiest way to eat, but you have to be a smart vegetarian," says Rosch. In other words, don't snack on spoonfuls of peanut butter (that's 100 calories per tablespoon). Don't slather your salads or stir fries with oily dressings. And to combat hunger and cravings, add belly-filling fiber to your diet and drink lots of water. Also, watch your carbohydrates. "Remember that half your plate should be fruits and vegetables and only a quarter should be rice or pasta," says Rosch. Proteins such as beans or tofu should make up the other quarter of the plate.

| "Weight loss is about more than just working out," according to Crome. If you aren't watching your portion sizes, eating well-balanced meals and healthy snacks then you'll probably just break even calorie-wise by the end of the day. "You may burn 500, 600 calories in an intensive workout," says Crome. But, she says, "People don't realize you can easily replace that with one burger." So if the devil on your shoulder (or sitting on top of the dessert cart) entices with, "You worked out today; you've earned a sweet treat," look to your inner skinny angel for help in ordering a bowl of fresh fruit.

|Most weight loss plans recommend losing one to two pounds a week. But the annoying truth, Crome says, is that weight never comes off in a nice steady downward trajectory. Instead, if you were to chart most people's weight loss there would be dips, the occasional spike upwards, and lots of plateaus. "The hardest thing for people I work with is that they're doing everything right, they're consistent, and the weight doesn't come off," says Crome. "But the fact is this: The body is going to give up the weight when it's darn good and ready."So don't let a stalled scale make you lose hope. Just keep eating right and building muscle through exercise and eventually the weight will start coming again.

Relieving some of the symptoms of a cold is in itself a worthwhile goal. Especially since there is no cure for the common cold. You do what you can do, is all. You don't throw your hands up and do nothing just because you can't do everything.
Sure they are, at least some, if not directly then by proxy. Out West in particular, gun shows are an absolute free for all and gun control is a concept rather than a reality.Gun buy backs, confiscation from criminals and checks are already in place....hows that supply now? All im saying is people have a right, and infringing on it does nothing to stop criminals. Criminals arent buying their weapons at gun shows and gun dealers.
As I said before, the gun lobby does their best to strip gun control laws of any real effect and then comes along afterwards and point to those toothless laws as not having an effect as the reason not to pass a further law. Until an actual gun control law comes along and gets passed and we can see what it does to gun violence, I'll continue to be unmoved by arguments such as this one you're making.
Anyway, gun crime by criminals isn't the only kind worth possibly doing something about. The less likely the average person is to having a gun, and/or the less damaging that gun, the fewer domestic murder cases we'll have as well as "dude just snapped" kinds of spree killers.
I would not agree with that, no. Each one has language unique to it.I agree with you, our focuses being different. But wouldnt you agree it shows the Founders wisdom that those two little words dont appear in any other of the first 10 Bills?
I don't think there's ever been a successful legal argument made that the 2nd amendment says that the regulation of arms to be a wholly state concern. It's always been the interpretation that the federal government can do things and the state can do things, and where they're in conflict the federal government takes precedence (the "necessary and proper" clause overrules the 10th amendment where they come in conflict, at least usually).And as far as well regulated goes, the regulation was not given to the Federal Government by the Founders, shouldn't that mean those regulating powers were to be reserved by the States?
