Product Description
Keep your Lawn Looking Its Best with the Craftsman 3 Bin Tractor Bagger
The Craftsman 50/54inch cut three bin bagger fits Craftsman tractor models starting with 247.XXXXX to quickly and efficiently collect grass clippings and leaves. Operating the three-bin system is remarkably easy – simply fill the bins up with clippings and debris, lift, dump and refill. This bagger completely eliminates the need for manual raking. If clippings aren't collected directly after mowing, they can build up over time, compress and prevent grass roots from receiving the right amounts of water, oxygen and nutrients.
Easy-to-empty Craftsman 3 bin tractor bagger collects up to a massive 10 bushels of clippings for less frequent dumping. Boasting a 50% larger capacity than a standard 2-bin bagger, this 3-bin bagger offers less frequent dumping, as well as less frequent stopping so you can get the job done in half the time. Lightweight slide or lift-out soft bins provide easier grass clipping removal. Long-lasting steel frame and resin construction add exceptional weather-resistant durability.

This bagger was with the tractor was delivered on 8 September and is very impressive. I have only used twice but can tell you that it Cuts great. I wanted to provide this review relatively soon, to dispel some negative reviews that concerned me as well concerning the 3 bin bagger. Contrary to some other reviews, I was able to install the bagger with a tight fit and it works perfectly even in relatively tall grass. It came installed with high lift blades. It will clog in wet tall grass, but so will every bagger. I almost returned the 50" tractor based on some negative reviews about the 3 bin bagger. As a precaution, I actually order the 46" version for future delivery while I tested the 50". I just cancelled the 46" that was on order as the triple bagger on the 50" works just great! Even on a week?s worth of growth approx. 2-3 inches (so long as it is not wet from recent rain or dew). It fills/over fills the far two soft bins before starting to really fill the closet third. Without CLOGGING! Best time to discard clippings is when the closest bin is half full. I just hand spread the excess on the first 2 bins into the third and I have 3 full bins to empty. At first, I understood the negative comments, but after reading the instructions (which were challenging) I installed the adaptor frame and the deck baffler just fine and was able to ply the top of the bagger hose end over the deck adaptor frame and it fits snug with no appreciable gaps. Most importantly it works like a charm. I am glad that it works as I really wanted a 3 bin bagger and the few extra inches from the 50" over the 46". I highly recommend. You just have to work hard at following the instructions and then be willing to ply the top of the blow molded plastic hose connector upward to fit over the adaptor frame attached to the mower deck. It may sound complex but really simple now that I have done it (and my wife will tell you I have no patience or natural ability to fix things).

This bagger was installed on a 50" cutting deck of the Craftsman Professional Lawn Tractor with 26 HP B&S motor. The bagger did not properly fit the mower and would quickly plug the tubing. For the brief period that the bagger did work, all of the grass went into only one bin. This one bin never got more than half filled each time I unclogged the bagger and restarted the process. On a 1/2 acre lot, I unplugged the bagger eight (8) times before I just decided to just cut the grass as a mulcher. This mower and bagger both will be returned. It is very frustrating dealing with the delivery department of Sears.

I currently own a Craftsman PGT9000 to mow approximately 1.5 acres of hilly vineyard. This is the second season for the tractor and so far it's been excellent. I recently bought a three bin bagger (Model No. 247.24020) hoping to avoid significant effort clearing the site of clippings (I have to mow at least three time each season with the grasses reaching over 2 feet if I miss a mowing). At this point I'm very disappointed with this attachment. If the grass has any moisture content at all (and when doesn't grass have moisture content?), the Discharge Chute becomes clogged after a few feet rendering the bagging assembly useless. To help remedy the situation, I've taken to mowing with mulching blades without the bagger assembly, waiting 2-3 days for the cuttings to dry, and then making a second pass with the bagger in place to vacuum up the cuttings. Even so, I still spend more time disassembling the clogging chute and manually dumping the stuck cuttings into the bags, than I do riding the mower. I'd give this product a rating of zero (0) except for the fact that the above process is still easier than manually raking and bagging the property. Sears should be ashamed to have put the Craftsman name on this product. I believe it and possibly the cutting deck need a total redesign by competent aeronautical engineers to make the bagger more than a three-bin clipping caddie.

My husband and I both ordered skins for our laptops from skinit. We've been really happy with them.
has anyone ordered a skin from these guys or any company that does the same? I'm curious as to the quality and if you've submitted a customized one have you ever had it rejected?

My husband and I both ordered skins for our laptops from skinit. We've been really happy with them.
I love He-Man.org!!!
I bought one for my laptop. Well I used a picture I found on the internet. It's pretty clear, although I would get a decent sized pic. If you look closely at mine you can see it was stretched. I would do it again. I like it that my computer is personalized, and it was way cheaper than buying a color dell computer.
Obey the whip!
Smile like you mean it.
Did anyone get one for their iPod? I wonder if the decal covers both sides or only the front? Plus I want to get a clear protective case but Skinit doesn't appear to have any for what I have
I want to get a MOTU one for my iPod, but I have a question. This will make sound totally clueless, but I got an iPod as a handmedown gift from a friend, it's an 80gb but the back otherwise doesn't designate model for shape compatibility other then it's from 2006 so from what I've researched it's a 5th generation, I thought it was a Classic since it looks more like the orignal design when they first came out, but I saw that classics are thinner looking, so does this mean mine is a an iPod Video 5G?......HELP!
Visit my art page at: http://theblock.deviantart.com/ , if you like my work and have an account there to, feel free to fave or watch me, I could use the street cred !
Go into "Settings" on your Ipod and click on "General". At the top, click "About", and it should give you all the specs to your Ipod. I did it on my Iphone and it showed everything.
You can also look at the specs when you plug it into your computer and Itunes pops up.
Hope that helps.

Well I did that it it gave me model no. which I looked up so apparently mine is a 80GB white: MA448LL 5.5 Generation. Thanks to TJRules for that helpful tip, hope a potential Skinit will still fit with my model...So, seriously, no one here has one for the same models I have as an example before I go for one?

Recently in the newsletter there was a lo of a tooth fairy silhouette that looked punched out from the background paper that was very cool! I scrap-lifted that idea and have done this page I'm attaching. I'm not happy with mine tho... how do I make the silhouette look "punched out" instead of looking like it is a black die cut I've placed on the page? Is it a shadow adjustment? or an emboss adjustment? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Punch Out How do i make it look realistic?
Posted 06 November 2011 - 07:08 AM
If you mean indented, then you can use the emboss in the settings, change it to down, then change the height to a number that makes you happy with it. To make it look cut out, you can place a black paper behind your cutout, select your silouette so the marching ants are on it, then delete it or click on the eye to hide it - you just need the marching ants - then make sure that you're on your main background paper and click delete - you'll see the black paper behind it. You can add an emboss or shadow to your background paper to get the cutout to look the way you want. HTHs :-)

Posted 06 November 2011 - 08:30 AM
You can also try the Inner Shadow style - that will give you more of a punched out look. And you can also punch it out just as you would on a paper layout - put a paper the color you want under your main paper, CTRL click on your silhouette, then click on the layer of your "main" paper, and CTRL X. Then you can add a drop shadow to the main paper. (You may have to make the silhouette itself invisible to see this.) Hope this helps!
A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was,the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove, but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child....

After Sherlyn Chopra, its Mallika Sherawat who goes topless on the social networking site Twitter. This is Mallika most boldest move to promote her upcoming movie Hisss where she plays a snake woman.
Mallika Sherawat is seen flaunting her hot assets and covering them with her lustrous locks and hands. Pakced with heavy kajal in her eyes and arms covered in scaly snake design, the actress definitely looks like a snake woman.
"…my "topless pic shud giv eternal life…" tweets Mallika. No doubt, her pic and tweet message will attract many guys to follow her and will promote the movie.
How well this trick works will only be know when the movie is released.
She is not promoting her upcoming movie also wants everyone to see her naked.

May 27, 2013 in VindictusHQ News
I created a VindictusHQ group on Steam recently and I think it would fulfill all of the social needs this community has. Intraining recommended that I do this, so after checking it out I've determined that the steam group really is a good thing to have. I simply have not had the time to work on VindictusHQ at all. The issue is that developing VHQ typically has a low priority because of my strong focus on studying computer graphics rather than web and information technology. I had hoped that by this time alot of the systems I planned to build would have been developed, but I've just been very preoccupied with studying computer graphics.
I look forward to seeing people join the Steam group so we can have those sorely missed discussions once again. Important and verified information will very likely come to the group in fragments, and so joining the group would be an excellent way to read and discuss the latest information. Notice that in the end the most important and detailed articles will be written on this website as neater and more consolidated posts, so the new steam group does not replace this website. The group is public, so no invite required. If you do not have Steam, then I highly recommend you get a free Steam account as it will be required to participate in the new VindictusHQ steam group.

But hey, we learn from our mistakes right? (i'm so mad OTL). I'll be working off of this old account to build gamerHQ, but it seems the domain VindictusHQ is safe. So basically, continue using VindictusHQ as you would've a week or two ago, and gamerHQ will be built in the background. I really REALLY hope this all final, because I'm too tired to mess around anymore

Exams and Tests
Diagnosis of gonorrhea includes a medical history and a physical exam. Your doctor may ask you the following questions.
- Do you think you have been exposed to any sexually transmitted infections (STIs)? How do you know? Did your partner tell you?
- What are your symptoms?
- Do you have any discharge? If you have discharge from your vagina or penis, it is important to note any smell or color.
- Do you have sores in your genital area or anywhere else on your body?
- Do you have any urinary symptoms, including frequent urination, burning or stinging with urination, or urinating in small amounts?
- Do you have any unusual belly or pelvic pain?
- What method of birth control do you use? Do you use a condom to protect against STIs every time you have sex?
- Do you or your partner engage in Reference high-risk sexual behaviors, such as having multiple sex partners or having sex without using a condom (except if you're in a long-term relationship)?
- Have you had an STI in the past? How was it treated?
Your doctor will ask you questions about your medical history. Then:
- A woman may have a Reference pelvic exam.
- A man may have a Reference genital exam to look for signs of Reference urethritis Opens New Window and Reference epididymitis Opens New Window.
- You may have a urine test for gonorrhea.
Several Reference gonorrhea tests can be used to detect or confirm an infection. Your doctor will collect a sample of body fluid or urine to be tested for gonorrhea bacteria (Neisseria gonorrhoeae). Most tests give results within a few days.
Other sexually transmitted infections may be present with a gonorrhea infection. Your doctor may recommend testing for:
- Chlamydia, a bacterial infection of the Reference urethra Opens New Window in men, and the urethra, the Reference cervix Opens New Window, or the upper reproductive organs (or all three) in women. Up to 40% of people who have gonorrhea also have chlamydia.Reference 2
- Syphilis, a bacterial infection in which the most common symptom is a painless sore called a chancre (say "SHANK-er") that develops on the genitals.
- Hepatitis B, a viral infection that causes the liver to become swollen and tender (inflamed).
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a virus that attacks the immune system, making it difficult for the body to fight off infection and some diseases.
In the United States, your doctor must report to the state health department that you have gonorrhea.
Early detection
The Reference U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Opens New Window recommends gonorrhea screening for all sexually active women who have risk factors for gonorrhea.Reference 3
If you engage in Reference high-risk sexual behaviors, you may want to consider being tested once a year for gonorrhea even though you don't have symptoms. High-risk sexual behaviors include having multiple sex partners or having sex without using a condom (except if you're in a long-term relationship). Testing will allow gonorrhea to be quickly diagnosed and treated. This helps reduce the risk of transmitting gonorrhea and avoid complications of the infection.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also recommends screening for pregnant women who engage in high-risk sexual behaviors to prevent them from transmitting gonorrhea to their babies. If a pregnant woman is at high risk for gonorrhea, she may be tested again during the third trimester before delivery, to prevent transmitting the infection to her newborn.Reference 1

looks very nice and has some great ideas ie solar panels etc but one does not need all that techy stuff. One is to go camping to enjoy the outdoors not look at computor and watch movies etc. Too low to ground for gravel roads. Too expensive for average person. Should have a basic model for average person but not a hippy type.
February 7, 2009 at 2:20 pm
i've always wanted one but there werent very many so ive never been able to get one they were always to much but i think if i could find one i would bye it even if i had to work two jobs because i think this is a new age of vehicle
December 5, 2008 at 4:20 pm
I agree with MadroneZone, in that its not so great to only show photoshop's capabilities. Also, if the designer is going to all the trouble of modding up such a dream, why put some ugly panel on top? Why not add a cool looking panel?

I have to finally chime in. This "product", like so many shown in design mags/fora lately, is so completely virtual that it exists primarily as a proposal, a fantasy, a futuristic dream. CAD software and rendering technology has made it possible to image concepts to a high degree of apparent finish, but much stands between a gorgeously rendered glossy of a design concept and its proof: the final, physical product. I'm glad someone is thinking about this, and about self-sustaining prefab homes, and solar cars, and everything else. That's why I like Inhabitat. But it really dilutes the impact of a report when we are left realizing that it has never been, and might never be, constructed in the real world.
Student projects appear every year imagining such fantastic uses of new technology, but on the ground, where we're still dealing with existing building codes, aging infrastructure, and limited means, it's almost insulting to discuss "green" projects that essentially sidestep any involvement in the real world. A lovely website with perfectly-rendered 3-D images does not a green product make.
Please, keep track of stories like this, and the yellow chrysalis restaurant in the trees, but identify them as concepts; visualizations, rather than completed, real projects. When they are completed and functioning, then graduate them to "real" status. At that point, there will also be more to report, such as actual energy use, battery life, final cost, availability, and user feedback.

What's the carbon footprint of making one of these things?
November 20, 2008 at 10:10 am
Excellent idea! I believe that solar will be able to play a big part in reducing our transport emissions. I am currently modifying a 1989 Toyota Landcruiser to drive from London to Cape Town raising money the charity Solar Aid. The power steering, cooling fan, water pump and all other electrics will run off Solar – hope raising efficiency by around 10%. I am using thin film Solar -which is light weight and flexible – and just be able to stick on the body work. Search "Overland in the Sun" to find my website.

An Excursion into Arthurian Legend
We have had previous blog posts on North African genetics in Britain, for instance "When Wales Was Jewish." The present post zeros in on Tintagel, the fabled home of King Arthur and Mark of Cornwall. It is inspired by the mention of Gormund, the Irish "King of the Africans" in Welsh bardic literature, who was, we submit, a Vandal of the fifth or sixth century.
In British myth and historical tradition, not only Ireland but also Cornwall is the stronghold of "Africans." Mark, the king of Cornwall in Arthurian legend and jealous husband of Isoud or Isolt of Ireland, is portrayed in the Tristan romances as dark-complexioned, rich and of fiery southern temperament. Mark or Marcus is a favored name among Jews, particularly English Jews in memory perhaps of the soldier in Roman Britain who was proclaimed emperor by the army there sometime in 406, in the last death rattle of imperial rule. His sister is Elizabeth, and his royal residence is fixed in Tintagel on the north coast of the Cornish peninsula facing Ireland. This site's chief fame in medieval literature was as the castle of King Mark in the immensely popular cycle devoted to Cornwall.
A series of excavations began in Tintagel in 1933, uncovering a forgotten chapter in southwest Britain's prehistory. According to O. J. Padel, "the area of Tintagel headland teems with fragments of pottery of a type manufactured in the Mediterranean area (mainly in North Africa and Asia Minor); these fragments are dated between the mid fifth century and the late sixth)." This researcher at the department of Welsh history at University College of Wales, Aberstwyth, goes on to say:
The importance of Tintagel as a find-site for this pottery cannot be overemphasized. Since being identified there, it has been found to occur at other sites within Dark-Age western Britain and Ireland, including other sites in Cornwall and Devon, Cadbury-south-west Ireland, and as far north as the Scottish Highlands . . . . Being imported from so far away, this pottery represents expensive, luxury, goods."[i]
Arthur's Name Arabic?
The origin of the name Arthur has been endlessly debated.[ii] It is almost certainly not "Celtic," neither from a P or Q dialect, and cannot be traced further back than post-Roman times. The center of gravity for its appearance is the sixth century. In 1998, archeological excavations at sixth-century Tintagel brought to light a find subsequently dubbed the Arthur Stone, mentioning the name Artognou, claimed to be cognate. Although the reading is questionable perhaps this inscription and milieu are on the right track.
Arthur's name has become something of a grail quest for modern researchers. Other theories derive the name from Artorius (Roman or Messapic), Arnthur (Etruscan), Arcturus (the "bear star") or *Arto-uiros in Brittonic ("bear man").
Perhaps the Gordian knot of the difficulty can be cut if we consider that many of the names in early Welsh history have Arabic and North African roots. Camlann, for instance, the site of Arthur's final deadly battle with the usurper Mordred, has resisted all efforts to etymologize or locate it. This unidentified place in England has a name that is supposed to mean Crooked Glenn.[iii] We suspect it may be a corruption of the common Arabic place-name Khamilah, "area of dense trees, low or depressed area with good pasturage."[iv] Camelot, the fabled capital city of the Round Table, appears to be little more than the plural of the same term.
Arthur's father is Uthr Pendragon, the epithet following his name meaning Chief, or Head, of the Warriors, or Dragons.[v] Now Arthur's son is Amr, a pre-Islamic tribal name that is meaningless in any Brythonic language. Ar- is a common prefix in Arabic and North African naming conventions, meaning "the." Ar-Rumi, for example, the name of an early Arab poet means "the Greek." Ar-Rahman is "the Most Gracious," Ar-Rabi, "the Master, and Ar-Rashid "the Right-Minded."[vi] Many of these are traditional names of God's servants in pre-Islamic religion. If we take Arthur's name as Semitic or Arabic or Kufic Arabic it may be a corruption of his father's name: Ar-Uthr. As to what Uthr might have meant originally, however, we will not venture an opinion here.
True Etymology of TintagelThe word Tintagel is difficult to etymologize in Cornish. A better theory than Padel's hypothetical "Cornish *din, 'fort' (variant *tin), plus *tagell, 'constriction': 'the fort of the narrow neck'" (231) might be one based on the Semitic elements Thina "bend of headland" plus Ghayl "place with water," a description which suits the natural topography (Tintagel Castle, aerial view, above). [vii]
Now how about Excalibur, Avalon and Morgan la Fay? Watch this space . . . .
O. J. Padel, "Some South-western Sites with Arthurian Associations," in The Arthur of the Welsh, ed. Rachel Bromwich, A. O. H. Jarman and Brynley F. Roberts (Cardiff: U of Wales P, 1991) 229-30.
See Toby D. Griffen, "Arthur's Name," Celtic Studies Association of North America, April 8, 1993, Athens, Georgia, available at http://www.fanad.net/csana94.pdf.

See, for instance, Ibn Khallikan's Biographical Dictionary, trans. B. Mac Guckin de Slane, IV (Paris: Oriental Translation Fund of Great Britain and Ireland, 1871). The prefix ar also appears in toponyms, e.g. ar-Ramla, ar-Rusafa and ar-Roha (=Edessa). It would be a worthwhile exercise to determine how many English and Welsh place-names have derivations still denoted by their beginning in Ar-; we would start with perhaps Arun (an alternative name for the Isle of Man) and Arundel in the south of England.

In the book "24/6," I don't try to define what rest is for a person, but I ask you to figure out what work is for you, and don't do it one day out of the week.
CNN: You go as far as to say that going full-throttle 24/7 is an illness. How do you recognize the signs?
Sleeth: I find that there's a growing epidemic, really, of depression. We're the most depressed country in the world.
The World Health Organization says somewhere between one in nine and one in 10 Americans are being treated for depression. We tend to work more hours than any other country in the world; Japan is second closest.
When we're constantly going, we pour out chemicals to try to meet those stresses. We have short-term stress hormones like adrenaline, and longer-term hormones like the steroids that we pour out. Those chemicals constantly being "on" are bad for us, and they lead to anxiety and depression and to, I think, diabetes and being obese.
It's interesting that if I took somebody in the emergency department and gave them a big slug of adrenaline, you'll find that an hour later they're just wiped out, and that'll really persist throughout the day. I think that's what we're doing to ourselves. We're constantly bringing stress into our life, and the idea of having one day a week that I can count on to stop is very reassuring.
Even if on Monday I'm very, very busy -- and that proceeds throughout the week -- if you know you have a habit of a weekly day of rest, of stopping, then you always know that's out in front of you. A lot of people "go" and never know when it is that they're going to come to rest.
CNN: You also say this mantra has made a big difference in your own life -- for you as well as your family. How so?
Sleeth: My family and I adopted this about a decade ago. My children were in high school, and they went through high school, college -- and my son even through medical school -- keeping one day of rest, where they didn't study.
They got their work done in advance. I think it actually helps you to order your life, because in preparing for that day of rest, you... actually get more things done on the six days that you are working.

Mario Draghi is set to steer the European Central Bank to a historical interest rate cut on Thursday, but the move may not be enough to satiate the financial markets looking for concrete solutions to the sovereign debt crisis in the euro area.
A rate reduction at this juncture could serve as a back-up to the deal reached by European Union leaders last week that relaxed bailout rules, took steps for more integration, and paved the way for the Eurozone rescue funds to directly re-capitalize banks.
Further, the recent run of poor economic data from the currency-bloc and its main members could be another reason to lower rates. Record-high unemployment, falling manufacturing activity and weakening economic sentiment are among the latest set of dire data implying an imminent recession in Eurozone.
At its meeting in Frankfurt, the Governing Council led by ECB President Draghi is likely to reduce the main refinancing rate by 25 basis points to 0.75 percent. That will be a first in euro area monetary policy as the central bank has never before cut the rate below 1 percent.
Some economists are also looking forward to a reduction in the deposit rate, which is now at 0.25 percent. Another policy rate, the marginal lending facility rate, is at 1.75 percent.
The ECB announcement is due at 7.45 am ET and will be followed by the regular press briefing at 8.30 am ET.
ECB policymakers have increasingly voiced support for a rate cut over the past few weeks. But economists say much more will be needed to pull the economy out of recession.
"A rate cut could be a face-saver in many ways: quid pro quo pretense would be avoided, the opponents of additional liquidity measures would be pleased and probably the most critical economy of the moment, Spain, would receive some relief," ING Bank Senior Economist Carsten Brzeski said.
"In case of a rate cut, it is still uncertain what the ECB will do with the rate corridor, in particular the deposit rate, in this scenario. Zero or even negative rates could be possible but a cut to 10bp or 15bp looks more likely."
Draghi has also ruled out any inflation risk in the euro area. The harmonized inflation figure held steady at 2.4 percent in June, which is above the ECB target of 'below, but close to 2 percent'.
Market sentiment improved after the EU leaders struck the deal late Thursday. Borrowing costs of Spain and Italy, which surged ahead of the summit, have eased. The 10-year Spanish yield breached 7 percent last week.
The Eurozone debt crisis took another turn for the worse early last week with Cyprus emerging as the fifth nation to seek a bailout from the EU. Aid was sought to shore up Cypriot banks struggling from huge exposure to the debt-ridden Greece. Previously, Ireland, Portugal, Greece and Spain have requested EU aid.

The Supreme Antioxidant
Rich in Polyphenols and Essential Sugars - CoffeeBerry is abundant in polyphenols that:
CoffeeBerry contains five of eight rare and essential sugars called monosaccharides. Research indicates these glyconutrients are essential for the various complex biological systems to interact and function properly to prevent free-radical damage and to initiate cellular repair.*
Polysaccharides, such as mannans and arabinogalactans, make up almost half the dry weight of CoffeeBerry. Conventional roasting destroys these nutrients, so they're not found in traditional brewed coffee.
Thanks to the patent-pending technology exclusively licensed to New Chapter by VDF FutureCeuticals, the extraordinary health benefits of fresh, ripe coffee fruit are available for the first time.
And for those of you who don't like the jolt of coffee, the great news is that New Chapter's CoffeeBerry Whole Coffee Fruit Concentrate contains less than 1% caffeine, which means that a daily serving contains no more caffeine than one-tenth of a cup of tea.
Beyond the Bean: The Whole Coffee Fruit
Like many fruits, the coffee fruit is designed to nourish and protect its seed. The coffee bean is not the whole coffee fruit, no more than a peach pit is the peach. People who live in the coffee-growing regions of the tropics know this, and have traditionally benefited from the powerful antioxidants in the whole coffee fruit. The rest of us, until now, have had to make do with just drinking the roasted coffee seeds. It's time to experience the complete antioxidant richness of this miraculous fruit! To appreciate the unique antioxidant power of CoffeeBerry Whole Fruit Concentrate, with an ORAC value of 2500, New Chapter has compared it to other respected antioxidant fruits:
ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. Free radicals of oxygen can damage our cells and disrupt normal DNA activity. Foods with high ORAC values can absorb and neutralize those damaging free radicals and thus provide critical protection against that damage.*
Directions for Use: Take one vcapsule daily.

Art world fears "big chill" as Frieze Week begins
Those are the big questions on the art world's lips as hundreds of galleries and collectors descend on London for the annual post-war and contemporary frenzy centered around the October 13-16 Frieze Art Fair in Regent's Park.The annual event held in a giant marquee has quickly become a key date for anyone wanting to acquire top works by modern and living painters.It has spawned a merry-go-round of auctions, rival fairs like the Pavilion of Art & Design (PAD), major exhibitions, gallery openings including a new White Cube space and, of course, endless glitzy, champagne-fueled parties.But after two years of strong growth in prices, particularly for top artists, global financial turmoil once again threatens to bring the chill of uncertainty to the week as it did in the wake of the 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse.Matthew Slotover, co-founder of Frieze who is considered one of the art world's most powerful figures, conceded that concerns over slow economic growth and Europe's debt crisis could weigh on the fair.But he, like many others, argued that investors may prefer to put their money into a painting than a paper asset."It is something tangible and real," he told Reuters in a recent interview, stressing that personally he would not treat art as a financial investment alone."In an age where people are losing faith in paper money, in currencies and in equities, it's one of those assets that people feel, well, at least I've got this actual thing."More and more frequently experts draw a distinction between the top end of the market — works by household names that rarely come to market — and mid-range art priced, say, between $100,000 and $500,000.Anders Petterson, head of ArtTactic which tracks investor confidence in different sectors of the art market, saw his mid-range indicator slump from nearly 90 percent in June to less than 30 percent in October.Over the same period the indicator for works valued at $1 million or above slipped slightly but remained over 90 percent.CHINESE THE NEW MEDICIS?Anthony McNerney, head of contemporary art at Bonhams, summed up the mood among the auction houses."It seems that rich people quite often will always stay rich," he told Reuters."Obviously there is a lot of nervousness that it (market contraction) will happen again as it did three years ago. I think we've got to carry on as best we can, and if you've got great quality fresh to the market, it really doesn't matter."The focus on the very best art with strong provenance has seen a narrowing in the art that owners are prepared to sell, with the likes of Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Francis Bacon taking up a larger share of auctions.One "wild card" this week could be demand from Asia's growing number of ultra-wealthy collectors.A few years ago it was Russian oligarchs who were snapping up much of the world's most expensive art. Now the focus is firmly on China as the land of the "modern-day Medicis."Recent sales at Sotheby's in Hong Kong gave a mixed picture of Chinese demand for art and luxury goods.The auctions raised $411 million in spite of difficult conditions on financial markets, yet the total was down from April and of the works on sale, contemporary art struggled most with more than a fifth of lots unsold.Petterson wrote recently that the kind of "fashionable, cutting-edge contemporary art" typically on show at Frieze could be vulnerable to another downturn."Even the top end of the art market might not be quite as safe as investors would like to think if the economic crisis escalates further," he said."As research from the last crisis shows, when investor confidence evaporates, all assets start to correlate, something many art market insiders like to forget."Auction houses will offer works valued at over 100 million pounds ($160 million) this week, and the art displayed at Frieze is estimated by insurer Hiscox to be worth $350 million compared with $375 million last year.The top lot could be Gerhard Richter's "Candle," estimated by Christie's at 6-9 million pounds, a figure the German artist said last week was "impossible to understand" and "daft."In fact, talking about art in the same breath as its commercial value is often frowned upon in a world where polite conversation focuses on a painting's aesthetic appeal and meaning and not its price.But as one video installation featured in this year's Frieze Art Fair catalog states bluntly: "The ART WORLD is dependant (sic) on commerce for its existence."

Freshwater Fellow, National Geographic Society
It's hardly in a water-short region, so it may come as a surprise that Boston, Massachusetts, stands out as one of the biggest success stories in urban conservation in the United States.
An email crossing my desk early in 2005 announced that total water use in greater Boston had just dropped to a 50-year low—a stunning achievement, especially in light of the city's booming economy in recent decades. And the region's water demand has continued to drop: by 2009, it had fallen 43 percent from the 1980 peak.
Why and how did this New England capital come to add this feather to its cap? The reasons offer some important lessons for citizens and communities around the country and the globe.
Back in the 1980s, Boston faced a familiar problem: its demand for water would soon outstrip the reliable supply of its water system. Its 412-billion-gallon reservoir was tinkering on half- to a quarter-full, setting the greater Boston area up for significant problems should a drought take hold. The region was using about 350 million gallons a day (mgd) back then, when safe levels were considered 300 mgd.
The water authority responded as most water providers would in such a circumstance—by looking for new water sources to expand the supply.
The best option seemed to be a diversion from New England's biggest river, the Connecticut, which runs all the way from the northern tip of New Hampshire to the Long Island Sound. The proposed diversion would siphon new supplies over to the Quabbin Reservoir, which had been created decades earlier by damming the Swift River in western Massachusetts, and drowning out four rural towns.
Aqueducts carry drinking water 65 miles from the glistening Quabbin to the toilets and taps of greater Boston, passing through the Wachusett Reservoir along the way.
When citizens and environmental groups got wind of the diversion scheme, they wasted little time in voicing concern about the ecological impacts, including potential harm to efforts to restore Atlantic salmon to the Connecticut River. They pushed for a different approach—reducing Boston's water demand rather than expanding its supply.
In response, the newly established Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA)—the water wholesaler for 2.5 million people and more than 5,500 large industries in Boston and 50 surrounding communities—began an aggressive conservation program. It set out to detect and repair leaks in the aging pipes of the water distribution system. It retrofitted about 350,000 homes with efficient plumbing fixtures, such as low-flow showerheads. It conducted water audits of large industrial facilities and refurbished water meters to better track how much water the agency sells to communities. The MWRA also raised water rates and stepped up public education about the importance of water conservation.
An additional boost came In 1988, a year after the program got under way, when Massachusetts became the first state in the nation to require low-volume toilets in all new construction and remodeling—an important precursor to the federal efficiency standards passed four years later.
In a unique arrangement, MWRA also funds a citizen watchdog group called the Water Supply Citizens Advisory Committee, based in the western Massachusetts town of Hadley, not far from the Quabbin Reservoir. Aided by active citizen participation, the conservation program produced a steep and steady decline in greater Boston's water demand: total use in 2009 was 70.9 billion gallons (268.5 million cubic meters) per year, a 43 percent drop from the 1980 peak of 125.5 billion gallons (474.9 million cubic meters) .
Today, the Quabbin Reservoir is brimming with water, and the diversion from the Connecticut River is no longer on the table.
The conservation program also proved cost-effective, and spared Greater Boston residents the estimated $500 million-dollar capital expense of the diversion project.
But the story isn't over. Controversy swirls over what to do with the "surplus" water in the Quabbin. With its customer base now using so much less water per person, MWRA is looking to spread its fixed costs among more customers. Within the last six years it has added five more communities to its service area. For their part, environmental groups would like to see the "surplus" used to restore more natural flows to the Swift River in order to improve fisheries and other ecosystem benefits.
Spawned by conservation's success, the debate about the best use of "surplus" water is one that a growing number of cities around the country running short of water would probably love to be having.
Sandra Postel directs the independent Global Water Policy Project and lectures, writes, and consults on international water issues. Author of several acclaimed books, including the classic Last Oasis, Postel also serves as lead water expert for the National Geographic Society's Freshwater Initiative. Postel is a 1995 Pew Scholar in Conservation and the Environment, and in 2002 was named one of the "Scientific American 50" for her contributions to water policy.

I ordered these shoes based on the comfort of a pair of Haflinger slippers I own. I ordered a size 38 (I normally wear a 39) after reading the reviews that I had read about the shoe running large. They were not only large, they were huge! I made the mistake of wearing them with a very thick pair of socks out of doors and can't return them. They are so wide that I can barely keep them on my feet and I have a wide foot. Even with an extra insole in them they are too floppy. Additionally, the stitching inside is rough and irritating. Big mistake on my part!

This clog is a 5 star shoe when it fits properly. I am so unhappy because I have now tried the 38 (toes crunched, heel barely in) and the 39 (toes sliding everywhere, heel with 1 inch too much room). I have always worn a 38, which was always a U.S. size 8. I still have 3 pairs of Haflinger clogs, size 38, that fit perfectly which I bought about 5 years ago. Now, there is no size that fits. What in the world happened with the Haflinger sizing?! And what will I do without my clogs when my 3 pairs finally wear out?

I've had my Haflingers for at least six years now and they look good as new. other felted shoes have developed weak spots and eventually needed to be replaced, but these slippers have held up and haven't broken or pilled. They are great to wear around the house and I occasionally wear them outside and to run a quick errand. A great shoe/slipper.

This is my second pair of Haflinger slippers. Yes, they are expensive, but they are so worth it. I love these. I wear them every day from fall all the way to spring. I get sweaty feet very quickly but these manage to keep my feet warm, comfortable and not sweaty at all. Highly recommend them.

Yes! comfortable, supportive arch, cork sole, soft wool upper all met my demands for a comfortable supportive slipper around the house. Nice neutral look and 39 for my usual size 9 foot worked.
