The Proposed Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement: Background and Key Issues
Date: March 1, 2012
Creator: Ilias, Shayerah
Description: The proposed Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a new agreement for combating intellectual property rights (IPR) infringement. The ACTA negotiation concluded in October 2010, nearly three years after it began, and negotiating parties released a final text of the agreement in May 2011. Negotiated by the United States, Australia, Canada, the European Union and its 27 member states, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, and Switzerland, the ACTA is intended to build on the IPR protection and enforcement obligations set forth in the 1995 World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement).

U.S.-Japan Economic Relations: Significance, Prospects, and Policy Options
Date: February 14, 2012
Creator: Cooper, William H.
Description: Japan and the United States are the two largest economic powers. Together they account for over 30% of world domestic product, for a significant portion of international trade in goods and services, and for a major portion of international investment. This economic clout makes the United States and Japan potentially powerful actors in the world economy. Economic conditions in the United States and Japan have a significant impact on the rest of the world. Furthermore, the U.S.-Japan bilateral economic relationship can influence economic conditions in other countries. More generally, other issues regarding U.S.-Japan economic relations may emerge on the agenda of the 112th Congress. U.S. and Japanese leaders have several options on how to manage their relationship, including stronger reliance on the World Trade Organization; special bilateral negotiating frameworks and agreements; or a free trade agreement.

Japan-U.S. Relations: Issues for Congress
Date: May 4, 2012
Creator: Chanlett-Avery, Emma
Description: The post-World War II U.S.-Japan alliance has long been an anchor of the U.S. security role in East Asia. The alliance facilitates the forward deployment of about 36,000 U.S. troops and other U.S. military assets in the Asia-Pacific, thereby undergirding U.S. national security strategy in the region. For Japan, the alliance and the U.S. nuclear umbrella provide maneuvering room in dealing with its neighbors, particularly China and North Korea. Difficult problems remain in the alliance, particularly in resolving problems related to the stationing of marines on Okinawa.

Accelerated Vehicle Retirement Programs in Japan and South Korea: Background for Congress
Date: October 26, 2010
Creator: Canis, Bill
Description: This report discusses the accelerated vehicle retirement (AVR) programs initiated in 2009 by the United States, Japan, South Korea, and other industrial nations (commonly known in the U.S. as the "cash for clunkers" program). The U.S. program began in June 2009, when President Obama signed the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save (CARS) Act. The report discusses how these various AVR programs affected the automobile industries in the U.S., Japan, and South Korea, specifically. Neither Japan nor South Korea imports large numbers of foreign vehicles, a circumstance not much altered by AVR program implementation.

I have type 2 diabetes and this Trans Resveratrol is just great, I only take 1 tablet a day and for me this will give the long term benefits of controlling my blood sugar. My sleep and well being has improved too. Great product and for the price is just amazing, well done.
I just wish they did bigger bottles
Triple A
- (07 / Jul / 2013)
I take this daily, they say a glass and a half of wine is good for you, it's just cause of this ingredient, and I hate wine.
High Quality Product
- (08 / Feb / 2013)
This Trans Resveratrol is the best resveratrol supplement I've tried so far. The tablets are relatively large and 'chalky' in appearance, texture and taste. I wouldn't go for any other cheaper resveratrol supplements. The branding may often depict red grapes, sunny vineyards, etc. but the pills could be derived from Japanese knotweed or at least mixed with it. That's not really desirable, so always read the label!
MyProtein Trans Resveratrol is 98% resveratrol from grape skin extract, 2% excipients. I'd personally prefer gelatin capsules to dicalcium phosphate and microcrystalline cellulose but I suppose the veggies must be kept happy.
I have been taking two tablets per day (that's 250mg) and within a few days I already feel a general improvement in energy levels and mental/physical alertness.
Strong stuff
- (07 / Oct / 2009)
"Used Trans for about four months now and they're very effective - I have found concentrated antioxidants IN GENERAL to provide a meaningful physical and mental boost. I take these in conjuction with a host of other antioxidants like Astaxanthin and K-rala. However DON'T take these before you go to bed, because you'll be up all night."

|Q107 State Variable Filter
Click Image for Large View
The Q107 Filter changes the harmonic content of signals to create new, interesting sounds. This removal of harmonics is the basis of subtractive synthesis. Both the cutoff frequency and the resonance (Q) of the filter can be controlled manually and/or controlled by another signal such as an envelope generator, oscillator, keyboard, etc. Control signals can be attenuated and inverted. Low Pass, Band Pass, Notch (Band Reject), and High Pass responses are provided simultaneously.

Panel Size: Dual width 4.25"w x 8.75"h.
Low Pass, High Pass Slope: -12dB/Oct.

Cutoff Frequency: 1/V per Octave and adjustable.
Resonance (Q): 1 to self-oscillation.
Frequency Range: 20hz to 20khz.
Power: +15V@20ma, -15V@20ma.
Waveform Levels: 10V PP.
Bernie Wrote: Filters, both the Q150 and Q107 are simply awe inspiring. Bob Moog would even be impressed.
John Wrote: The Q107 filters are SWEET! They are able to self-oscillate with a beautiful sine tone that extends from a dog-whistle high to an earthshaking low that could induce diarrhea in a small child.

Usage and Patch Tips
Frequency Control
It's very common to have your filter track the keyboard so that the response is the same over all frequencies. This is accomplished by using the 1V/Octave frequency control input. Simply patch your keyboard pitch voltage into a multiple then out to your oscillators and to the filter.
The other frequency control input normally comes from an Envelope Generator or from an Oscillator. You can attenuate, amplify or invert the incoming control signal right on the filter instead of having to use another module. The 0 to +5 volt outputs of the Q109 Envelope Generator will give you a total of 10 octaves of range when the attenuator is full on.
The Sequential Controller can also be used to control the filter frequency. You could use one bank to control an oscillator and another to control the filter at the same time.
Resonance Control
Signal Inputs
When using the notch response, use a low resonance or the notch will be so narrow that you can't hear the effect.
A sine wave has almost no harmonics and will only respond to the filter by lowering its amplitude. Sawtooth and Ramp waveforms have the most harmonics and respond quite nicely to filtering. Square and Pulse waveforms also have a great deal of harmonics and respond well to filtering.
Noise and Hum
A typical synthesizer patch will have a VCA (Q108) as the final module. This has the effect of gating off noise in the modules up the chain including the filter. If you use the filter as the final output without a VCA, much more noise will be heard.
It's also important to remember that the outputs of a modular synthesizer are designed to be very hot (10 volts peak-peak or more) in order to improve the signal to noise ratio, so turn down the outboard equipment (mixers, etc) and turn up the output levels of the synthesizer for best results.

Release Date: 2011 |
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off100th review should be something special, buddy
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Offlikely needs one more proofread but i'm just shattered
album is a pleasant surprise. would likely be a 4 were the entire thing as consistent as the first. some very good songs on
oh i didn't even realise i had 99 reviews. crap.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Offi pos'd (obviously) but i don't really like how you wrote the first paragraph... your telling of the whole "hush, yael" story
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Offi think it cheapens a story like that to be used as a review opener but i was kind of stumped on how to describe the song's emotional weight
so i to extent would agree with you
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Offi would disagree that telling it in a review "cheapens" a story like that--i mean it is the basis for the song, which is obviously the reviewer's territory
its just a few other things: (1) if you're going to open with a retelling like that you should probably give a little more context (a historical where and when, something beyond a "Over 30 years ago"). My reasoning is that, you try to convey that hearing this story affected you ("with a shudder") but you re-tell it like you heard it on the evening news...
(2) I don't even once consider writing a song about it - but then again, I'm not in Oh, Sleeper.
i mean, this is just kind of unnecessary (and also the source of some confusion, at least for me)... Obviously youre a musician, but right now you're a reviewer. So yeah, you didn't think about writing a song about it, but why not? And who cares (no offense)... more to the point: as it reads (fed, without pause, through a mammoth paragraph, immediately followed by your reaction to the story, and immediately preceding your dig on their last album) it sounds like youre ripping Oh, Sleeper or at least suggesting that it was in poor taste to write a song about it...
i think if you got rid of that part, maybe broke up the paragraph right before "When recollecting...", and bridged your reactions with Oh, Sleeper's failures on their previous record with like a 'not what i was expecting' or something, it might read more good
I don't even once consider writing a song about it - but then again, I'm not in Oh, Sleeper.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Offi can't edit bc id mess up the formatting but that should be "...immediately following your reaction to the story, and immediately preceding..."
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Offyou re-tell it like you heard it on the evening
what i meant by 'cheapening it'. i was worried for brevity's sake (hence "thirty years ago") and the quick and confusing pace
i'll see what i can do
you re-tell it like you heard it on the evening
This review was really, really good.
...but since it's not the next chapter in your Colour Spectrum reviews Imma neg hard.Digging: U2 - Songs of Innocence
Digging: U2 - Songs of Innocence
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Offthanks, irving. do very much appreciate it coming from you!
i edited/split the first paragraph to clear any confusion, let me know if it works better/worse
hi guys
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffGood review. Obviously I think this is their strongest release but to each their own. I'm glad that you stressed how fucking crazy Micah sounds on the record, I was surprised that you called the cleans cringe worthy though. You really don't like them at all? I think Shane has an above average voice. Not nearly as high and obnoxious as a lot of cleans in the genre.
Great review man, I still need to check this out :]Digging: Darkspace - Dark Space III I
Digging: Darkspace - Dark Space III I
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffI definitely like it better this way
also sup mordecai
Album Rating: 4.5I really love this album, the review is good although I dont agree about the cleans. I think they are really above average. Especially compared to their peers(TDWP)!!
When I Am God was pretty damn cool. son of the morning was gay balls though. Just going to download the hush yael song and yeh.
not much acad. just watched the crow now i'm going to listen to a dillinger/atreyu playlist and fall asleep. you?
Album Rating: 4.5Awesome review man. I disagree about WIAG being their best though, this one imo blew it out of the water
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffBlay's voice isn't nearly as obnoxious as most vocalists in the genre, you're right. He doesn't have a bad voice though - it's just that the melodies he chooses are just so damn cheesy.
Album Rating: 4.0I love you Caleb, ps in the intro, dad was shot not drowned.
other than that, well written, I disagree with the rating but will pos because of my fanboyism of your face.
Album Rating: 4.0This kills When I Am God
I don't agree with you at all about Means to Believe, but W/E CALEB
And btw the dad was shot and then drowned.

- KismetVIPDined on 9/22/2014It was good but not spectacular. Some dishes did not come together. Especially a garden salad with something baked inside that was very sweet.I forget what it was called but it was like cake pieces. Not expected when you are eating savory courses and have wine. That thread continued through some of the dishes,you wanted to totally like them but couldn't.Special Features:
- bmccDined on 9/17/2014Wonderful meal! I especially loved the sea urchin on sea milk with the ocean flower, the duck liver pate, and the special hokkaido beef with the matrix of toppings... The service was very nice. The only thing missing was, as I was driving myself, I couldn't get the wine pairing...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DissapointedFoodie123Dined on 9/15/2014A couple of good dishes and a few dissaponting ones, some of the flavors were too complicated to really enjoy... Suggest to simplify the menu.- On another not we were not told that UPGRADING the beef was extra ant got a bill for $739 ???????Special Features:
- Unique Experience!KMViola2Dined on 9/13/2014We stayed in Carmel for two nights as part of our honeymoon trip, and chose Aubergine for a celebratory dinner. The staff were attentive and gracious, the dining room is small but still airy and bright. Of course, the food is what you come for, and all we can say is that it was exquisite. The Tasting Menu is nine courses, each one a surprise. The attention to detail, flavor pairings and presentation were superb! Our dinner was complemented by the Sommelier wine pairings, a must! After dinner, we had the pleasure of meeting the Executive Chef, Justin Cogley so that we could thank him for a wonderful evening that we will never forget.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Foodie experienceGarthVIPDined on 9/10/2014Totally matched my expectations for a world class restaurant, eating alone with paired wines, on a weeknight.Special Features:
- Should get a Michelin starTime2DineDined on 8/31/2014Great food. Elegant presentation. Great flavors and mix of ingredients. I made the mistake of eating a late lunch, but still opted for the 9-course tasting menu. Even on somewhat of a full stomach I still forced myself to get through all nine courses because it was so good. The meat dishes were cooked perfectly. Definitely deserves a Michelin star (or two).Special Features:
- Amazing anniversary dinnerMiswuVIPDined on 8/29/2014Delicious chef's menu creation with excellent reserved wine pairing. The service was wonderful and flawless. Will definitely return for other special occasions!Special Features:
- Barry MargerumDisatisfiedVIPDined on 8/29/2014We had an outstanding and memorable dinner. The many food items that we ordered and the chef provided were exquisite, as were their unique presentations. It exceeded our expectations. The service was quite good. We asked to meet the chef to personally thank him for such a luscious meal. He was very gracious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great, but too pricey.JDranVIPDined on 8/29/2014Dinner, service, ambience was off the charts. Setting is extraordinary Cost of the experience makes it a one time event. We loved it but Won't be back. Twice the amount I've paid for a dinner for two in The finest restaurants in the world.Special Features:
- Memorable EveningFuzzBearDined on 8/28/2014Aubergine more than lived up to its outstanding reputation as we had a most memorable dining experience. Four of us had the tasting menu and although we at first feared it would be too much food, the many dishes were small enough to allow us to eagerly anticipate the next offering but yet large enough to allow us to fully appreciate the delicious food and the artistry of the chef. We savored each of the many dishes. The service was impeccable and the overall atmosphere matched the high quality of the food. This is THE restaurant to enjoy a special occasion.Special Features:
- OutstandingHoppaDined on 8/27/2014The Hokkaido beef alone was an experience. We tried the tasting menu and every single dish was amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and Service - Wowjimcathy1VIPDined on 8/26/2014This restaurant was wonderful! The service was impeccable and the food was wonderful. We opted for the four course meal ($110) with the wine pairings. The wines made the food "pop". The wines arrived on time. Since the menu changes daily, there is no point in discussing the details of what we had - but, the cheese choice is great. We will go back for sure.Special Features:
- Fantastic meal, great wine pairingspottegilVIPDined on 8/23/2014You dont expect this quality meal in Carmel. However, the chef's tasting menu was great, the attention to detail was perfect. Additionally, the wine pairings were both inventive and really good matches.Special Features:
- SpectacularPeterTVIPDined on 8/22/2014The full tasting menu w/ wine pairings is nothing short of spectacular. My wife and I agree that this was the best restaurant experience of our lives. Plan on 2.5 - 3 hours of delight and surprise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing experiencemjpoloVIPDined on 8/15/2014Having dined at other L'Auberge properties we were anxious to try another. We were in town for Monterey auto week and were disappointed to see that one of two tasting menus was available and no al a carte options existed. The experience started off poorly when the maitre d' saw we brought a bottle of our own wine. As avid wine collectors we are accustomed to paying corkage fees and do this frequently. We did purchase a bottle in addition to the one we brought but needless to say she was not happy. Ultimately the meal cost $250/person and automatically included a 20% service charge, despite marginal service. The food was good in many respects, a few highlights included the pate and the rib eye.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/10/2014Service charge of 18% - 20% is already included in the price (party of 4); this is not common practice.

It's a tasting menu and the night we dined each course was better than the next! Can't begin to say how perfect it was from the amuse bouche to the chocolates at the very end. If this place was in Paris it would have 3 Michelin stars it's that good!Special Features:
- Memorable ExperienceharryjrpDined on 7/31/2014I booked my reservation (as well as a room at the hotel - a must go place) two months in advance.

- "Outstanding dining experience"OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/26/2014We thoroughly enjoyed dining at Aubergine in Carmel, California. We purchased the wine pairing and the wines chosen complemented the food perfectly. The courses were beautifully presented as well as delicious and we left feeling satisfied but not overly full. Each touch, like the homemade rolls and the cookies to take with us, as well as the opportunity to step into the kitchen and meet the chef, was special and memorable. We definitely will try and return.Special Features:
- ExcellentBestTableDined on 7/21/2014Jamie from Coi in San Francisco recommended this place. She said Michelin hasn't been down to review the restaurant yet. But...they will. The food was delicious...Dan...our server, was terrific. The $55.00 corking fee is to much.

This is a small but exquisite venue. The Executive Chief is Justin Cogley who previously worked at Charlie Trotter's in Chicago. He has created a very unique and wonderful menu. In my opinion there are only 2 concerns. They are the small size of the portions on the Tasting Menu and the cost of the meal. But, to our surprise we were full at the end and totally enjoyed each course with the paired wine. It is a meal we will never forget.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

My husband and I could not pick a favorite course because each one out did the previous. Small, quaint, romantic dining room. Service was friendly, professional and spot on. After dinner we were invited to meet the chef. Executive Chef Justin Cogley was very humble and definitely deserves 2 Michelin Stars.Special Features:

- Maybe a little too fabulous?TammyJoeDined on 5/24/2014The chef's tasting menu was delicious save the first three courses which were nothing too special. Portions were a bit on the scarce side, however, and made the overall price--already pretty steep--feel a bit over the top. It was also a bit annoying to have additional up selling of special versions of some of the dishes (eg, special Japanese steak that was $32/oz with a minimum portion of 4 oz!) when the meal was already quite expensive. The wine list was extensive and excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nonameVIPDined on 5/24/2014Aubergine is perfect. The food, the wine and the service are excellent and consistent. We live on the Monterey Peninsula and go to Aubergine a few times each year and it never disappoints. Yes it is expensive and the serving are small, but each one has incredible mix of flavor, texture and taste. The wine pairings are always right on. We have never left disappointed or feeling we had paid to much. Go and enjoy a unique dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

David Ellis at PULSE New YorkJuxtapoz // Tuesday, 01 Mar 2011
One of the most forward-thinking, progressive, and innovative artists we have ever covered, David Ellis, will be on exhibit at PULSE New York this week with Joshua Liner Gallery of NYC. PULSE will be taking place March 3–6, 2011 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan's Flatiron District.
At PULSE, Ellis will present three works, including Animal, his most recent motion painting created during the artist's residency at the University of Austin, Texas (that piece is seen above). The artist will also present one in his series of "trash" installations, created in collaboration with composer Roberto Lange —humorous and thoughtful conglomerations of trash bags, boxes, and garbage receptacles. Additionally, Ellis will present a wall-mounted sculptural work from his "Recollection" series, constructed from album covers, wood, and resin. These works have found their way into Ellis' many public projects, including at such notable venues as MoMA, Deitch Projects, Mattress Factory, and Sesame Street.
These pieces below are part of Liner's past exhibits with Ellis, but we just like to have the opportunity to show some of his works. Check out his work from New Image Art Gallery that is up this month as well.

Zombie: apocalypse or rebellion?
program date:Wed, 10/31/2012
The zombie apocalypse is not a new cultural craze for Americans, but its recent resurgence during the Great Recession deserves some scrutiny for the way it invokes the lost figure of the zombie-worker. That's what David McNally (mis-announced as Daniel) argues in an article from Jacobin Magazine called "Zombie: apocalypse or rebellion?", read here by Joe Clement.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTAQ) - The Thompson-Baldwin race has officially become the most expensive U.S. Senate campaign in Wisconsin history.
Total spending has reached $40 million – topping the nearly $34 million spent two years ago when Republican Ron Johnson unseated 18-year Senate incumbent Russ Feingold.
The Federal Election Commission says outside groups have spent almost $28 million on the Wisconsin Senate race. And Republican Tommy Thompson and Democrat Tammy Baldwin have spent over $12 million of their own funds as of the end of September.
Baldwin was outspending Thompson by $4.5 million at the start of this month. But the Center for Responsive Politics says groups that oppose Baldwin have boosted their spending by about $4 million since the beginning of October, as Thompson gained in the polls.
Crossroads GPS, a group created by Republican strategist Karl Rove, has been the biggest outside spender at $4.6 million. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has spent almost $4.5 million to promote Baldwin and attack Thompson.
Federal officials say outside groups continue to spend more on the Wisconsin race than in every other Senate contest but one – Virginia.

Chase McCarty has smile that's priceless.
The Irmo Middle School student is looking forward to smiling a lot as she competes in the Special Olympics USA Games in New Jersey.
"I will make some friends," she said.
McCarty is one of four gymnasts from South Carolina going to the national competition this weekend. She doesn't let cerebral palsy stop her from doing what she loves in the gym.
"I love to do the vault," she said.
Gymnastics started as a form of physical therapy when McCarty was a little girl, to help improve her flexibility.
"To overcome the flexibility issues gymnastics has definitely helped with all the different movements and the different skill progressions that we've used with Chase," said her coach, Emily House.
We caught up with McCarty and House at All-Star Gymnastics in Columbia as they trained for the national competition. 170 athletes, coaches and staff are traveling to Princeton, NJ for the 2014 Special Olympics USA Games.
"Chase started in our recreational gymnastics program, so she was actually in a class with all the other students," said House. "And then we started a special needs program, which she became a part of, and she actually helped us grow. She was the first one to compete for All-Star in the Special Olympics and now it has grown to nine kids."
House says making it to the national competition is a great honor for McCarty. And she's ready to compete.
"It gives her an outlet of something to do," House said. "It's changed her perspective from 'I'm just going through the motions, I'm gonna' do these things,' to 'Wow! I can actually achieve something. I can win. I can be the top person.'"
"I am an Olympian," McCarty said. "And I want to win."
Team South Carolina leaves from Columbia Metropolitan Airport Saturday, June 14 at 1 p.m.. The public is welcome to cheer them as they take off.

DICKSON, Tenn. (AP) - A Dickson man who intentionally stepped onto a Nashville interstate to be struck by traffic has told the TBI he hit his wife repeatedly with a hammer.
The Tennessean reported the first-degree murder charge against 23-year-old Morris Long was sent to a Dickson County grand jury on Friday.
Long was hit by a tractor-trailer truck on Interstate 40 on Dec. 22. That was the day after 21-year-old Ashlee Long was found dead. Morris Long recovered from his injuries.
The TBI said Long told them he used drugs before getting into an argument with his wife and then struck her repeatedly with a hammer, killing her.

Ordinary TimeFri, 01/29/2010 - 9:08am
Most pastors have heard Fred Craddock's phrase, "almost Bible." He coined it after learning early in his ministry that some things people believe to be in the Bible just aren't there. Craddock's favorite example is the three wise men, heralded in hymn and Hallmark card across the years, but missing from Matthew. The Evangelist mentions three gifts, but leaves the number of the Magi mysterious. That number three? Almost Bible. Add a fourth wise person next time you plan a children's Christmas pageant and you can be sure everyone will read Matthew's text afresh.
Meeting the Challenge of Childhood ObesityTue, 01/26/2010 - 8:31am
When talking about obesity, people can easily lapse into judgmental terms that place the blame on the overweight person. But who's responsible for the widespread and growing problem of childhood obesity? More importantly, how can we stop it?
The Deeper Purpose of Beauty Tips for WomenWed, 01/20/2010 - 6:00am
In a commentary for the Martin Marty Center's Sightings, Courtney Wilder offers an excellent analysis of a resource we at the Clergy Health Initiative have been following for some time: Beauty Tips for Ministers.
Rev. Victoria Weinstein, the Harvard-educated pastor of First Parish Unitarian Church in Norwell, Mass., started this blog on the belief that "if clergypeople believe that religious life is vital, relevant and beautiful, they should look the part."

If you are foolish enough to have given major bookstore chains your e-mail address, you may have noticed that you're being bombarded this month with discount coupons for self-help and diet books, since January is the month when we're all supposed to "Do something!" about our lives. The Connection also has succumbed to this annual temptation (see our posts on eating plans, advanced directives). But here's some counter-cultural advice: it's winter - make like a bear, and rest.
Another 2010 Resolution: Advanced DirectivesFri, 01/08/2010 - 6:00am
A close friend's ailing 92-year-old mother moved into his house the week before Christmas, prompting conversations about emergency procedures and advanced directives. Advanced directives are the legal documents that make clear to your physician, family and caregivers your preferences for care in the event of a life-threatening accident or illness.

10 Day Optimal Cleanse
What it is:
The Optimal Cleanse is a rice protein-based functional food meant to provide optimal cleansing nutrition for those patients suffering from conditions and symptoms associated with toxicity. The Optimal Cleanse features a unique rice protein concentrate produced via a patented process that has a lower allergy potential than normal rice. This rice is fortified with the amino acids lysine and threonine, resulting in a complete, high quality and easily digested vegetable protein.
What it does:
A detoxification cleanse allows two things: A free-flow of substance and energy through the liver, lower abdomen and cellular activity throughout the body. And secondly, it helps support the body nutritionally, allowing nutrition to be absorbed more efficiently. This is a wonderful example of a balance of Yin (nutrition) and Yang (movement allowing the release of toxins). It provides excellent macro and micronutrient benefits. Additionally, the proteins found in the Optimal Cleanse feature a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants designed to support healthy Phase 1 and Phase 2 hepatic detoxification. An emphasis has been added to support those patients having low Phase 2 activities.
Many toxins are unable to escape our bodies and can be stored for years or even decades. These toxins can be responsible for weight gain, irritability, loss of concentration, allergies, skin conditions, hormone imbalances, cysts, and poor digestion. The 10 Day Optimal Cleanse is designed to detoxify and prepare the body for optimal health.
Daily Schedule:
Every day you will have a combination of East West Essentials' rice based Optimal Cleanse shakes and a detailed list of specifically targeted foods. The program is designed for you to be having something every 3-3.5 hours (shake/food). Because this is a nutrient based cleanse, you will not be stripping your body of the support needed as you are eliminating toxins from your fat cells and liver. If you would like to maximize your 10 Day Optimal Cleanse we suggest you add our Optimal Movement for increased detoxification through the bowels and stimulate healthy blood flow.
All of us at East West Essentials have a passion for wellness and want to help you reach your health goals. We are here to support you throughout your journey. Our wellness specialists have led hundreds of people through our products and programs in and outside of our clinics. Please give us a call if you have any questions.
It is formulated without:
Artificial sweetener, fillers, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, yeast, dairy, colors, or preservatives.
If you have any major health concerns, check with your healthcare practitioner before use. Do not use if pregnant. Keep out of reach of children.

"It never disappoints!" (Posted by: Tami on 3/18/14)
I did my first Optimal Cleanse one year ago and I am currently on my third round. I workout five days a week at the gym doing weight training and cardio. When I completed my first cleanse I was absolutely amazed at how great I felt. Physically, I leaned down and toned up in 10 days and had BODYBUILDERS asking me how I did it. Mentally, I have never felt better in my life. With these amazing results I have been a true believer in all of Eastwestessentials.com products. I have implemented the Omega 3 Fatty Acids and the Stress Blend supplements into my diet. I swear by these products and the health benefits they offer me. Thank you so much Heather and Haylie for turning me onto this healthy lifestyle!!!

"Life Changing Program" (Posted by: Philip on 2/26/14)
I've always made physical fitness a priority in my life but have not always been so kind to my body while pursuing that goal. Shortcuts with products that make bold promises but did little more than reduce the size of my wallet. . Needless to say I was skeptical about Optimal Cleanse. But I felt it was time to get back to a natural way of doing things and after researching the company and the product I felt I was making a good investment in my health. The optimal cleanse program was terrific! It's rare to find a product that not only lives up to it's claims but exceeds your expectations. I feel better. I look better. It's been said before but warrants saying again...it's a life changing program.

"Cleanse" (Posted by: Sandy on 2/26/14)
When I decided to try optimal cleanse, I made sure to prepare and have most of the detox food items in my kitchen so I could follow the plan to a T. I expected it to be hard but by day three I was amazed at how great I felt and most of all not hungry. I guess since my body was getting the nutrients it craved from optimal cleanse it felt satisfied. My mind felt clear and it was easier to focus. I had more energy than I've had since I was 18 , I'm 46. By day ten over 10 lbs. had melted off my body and I have a waist again. I have since had a consultation with Haylie where she outlined a maintenance plan and also gave me many recipes to help me stay on track with my new healthy lifestyle.

"worth the effort" (Posted by: Jay on 2/25/14)
This cleanse is so worth doing. I regularly do the 10 day Optimal Cleanse and yes anything like this is hard to get through, but well worth it in the end. I do it about every three months or whenever I feel like I need it.

"The Best!!" (Posted by: Catherine H on 1/27/14)
I recently tried my first East West Essentials product when I ordered your 10 day Optimal cleanse. I had never even tried a cleanse before, and I was a bit skeptical about having days where my nutrition would be provided solely in liquid form. However, I was amazed at the results! Not only did I not crave food on the shake-only days, I have craved the shake since the cleanse ended! The nutrition packed into your powder is so much better than what I was giving my body in other forms, and I was impressed with how filling and satisfying it was. In addition, despite consuming less calories, I felt more energized than ever before! I would happily recommend this cleanse program to anyone interested in finding out how great their body can really feel!

"10 Day Cleanse" (Posted by: Benny on 5/30/13)
I was looking for a detox cleanse besides that awful lemon-aid one. I loved it tapers you off food and back on. The three days of shakes was much easier than I ever expected and even ended up doing a forth day. The shakes take some getting used to but I ended up craving them half way through the detox. I lost 12 lbs and have kept it off. Good quality product.

My doctor friend who is a Neurologist recommended East West 10 day cleanse when I had trouble taking off weight.

Obama's "Road" Commercial: Paved With BombastBy Alexis Simendinger, RealClearPolitics
The 17-minute Obama commercial titled "The Road We've Traveled," released Thursday night to great fanfare by the president's campaign, could have carried a subtitle much like this: "How an underappreciated president with a big heart and stiff spine saved the world, kept his promises, delivered enduring change, and is poised to do more if voters only realize what's at stake."

Early Glimpse of Missouri Caucuses Shows Support for SantorumBy Jeff Zeleny, New York Times
Mitt Romney and his campaign advisers pride themselves on vigorously pursuing every delegate in every corner of the country in their quest to secure the Republican presidential nomination. That was not the case here Thursday evening at the Chariton County caucus inside the Railyard Steakhouse, where Republicans voted to send their full share of delegates to the district and state conventions in support of Rick Santorum.

Stop, Right Now! You're Making a Scene!By John Dickerson, Slate
The Mitt Romney campaign would like Republican voters to stop and think like Mitt Romney for a moment: rationally and without getting overly emotional about things. Have voters seriously contemplated the chaos that Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich are promising at the Republican convention in Tampa?

More Republicans Calling for Newt Gingrich to Leave GOP RaceBy Amy Gardner and Karen Tumulty, Washington Post
A growing number of Republicans are calling for Newt Gingrich to drop out of the presidential race to hasten the selection of a nominee and turn the country's attention to the fall campaign against President Obama. There is no sign that Gingrich is listening.

Sam Chaudhary sleeps on the couch in the boxy one-bedroom apartment, Liam Don on a mattress on the floor. Most of the place, such as it is—and it isn't much, frankly—has been turned over to a business. Or, at the very least, the dream of one. There are five desks with five chairs, separated from the modest kitchen by a tall dry-erase board. The handwritten sign hangs in the window and reads "ClassDojo." The rest of the beige-on-beige complex, it seems, is all single mothers and kids cruising on pastel-painted bikes.

Obama, Cameron Stress Diplomatic Pressure on Syria, IranBy Alexis Simendinger, RealClearPolitics
After meetings at the White House with British Prime Minister David Cameron, President Obama said Wednesday that the U.S. military "plans for everything" when weighing options to end the violence in Syria. He emphasized, however, that the U.S. and U.K. remain focused on pressuring Bashar al-Assad diplomatically and politically to relinquish power, and the two leaders discussed a commitment to humanitarian assistance to aid the suffering Syrian people.

The South Rises for SantorumBy John Dickerson, Slate
Mitt Romney said Rick Santorum was at the "desperate end of his campaign," by which he apparently meant the winning end. The Pennsylvania senator won the primaries in Alabama and Mississippi. He is now the leading conservative alternative to Mitt Romney, though Newt Gingrich promised to take his fight all the way to the Republican convention.

Obama-Romney Race Toss-Up in Poll Showing Independents CriticalBy Julianna Goldman, Bloomberg News
A strengthening economy and a contentious Republican primary have not translated into a wave of support for President Barack Obama, who runs even in a matchup against his likely challenger, Mitt Romney. Obama and Romney are backed by 47 percent of likely general election voters, while the president outruns the other Republican candidates, a Bloomberg National Poll conducted March 8-11 shows.

Time and Math Work Against Santorum's White House BidBy Sam Youngman, Reuters
Rick Santorum is winning the hearts of Republican conservatives but the cold realities of time and math are working against his presidential election effort. Santorum effectively became the only conservative challenger to Mitt Romney left standing when he narrowly won the Alabama and Mississippi primaries on Tuesday, as good as ending Newt Gingrich's presidential ambitions.

Santorum, Gingrich Make Final Pitches in Mississippi, AlabamaBy Janet Hook and Ryan Tracy, Wall Street Journal
On the eve of a crucial primary in the Deep South, Rick Santorum intensified his effort to convince conservative voters that he alone has the untarnished conservative record Republicans need to take on President Barack Obama in this fall's elections. He took that campaign theme to the heart of the Gulf Coast at a meeting of pro-drilling groups here. Mr. Santorum portrayed Newt Gingrich as a faux-conservative with a soft spot for global warming science and protecting endangered animal species.

Mitt Romney has tried for weeks to snuff out Newt Gingrich's presidential ambitions, but his stubborn survival has become a welcome relief for Mr. Romney. If Mr. Romney has a chance of winning the Alabama primary on Tuesday — his advisers believed the odds were strong enough to arrange a last-minute campaign visit on the eve of the election — it is largely because Mr. Gingrich's candidacy remains alive.

The Calculus Behind the Race to TampaBy John Dickerson, Slate
When they hand out the bunting, funny hats, and elephant pins at Republican Party headquarters, no one talks about the math test. For the next several weeks and perhaps months, GOP politics are going to center around a complex debate about delegates that will remind us all of those math problems you hated in grade school:
If Rick leaves Philadelphia headed for Tampa on a train powered by coal his grandfather mined and Mitt drives his Mustang to the same destination, how many attacks on the elite media will it take Newt to stop them?

Obama Hits Factories as He Paints Romney as Wall StreetBy Julianna Goldman, Bloomberg News
President Barack Obama wants voters to know that not all chief executive officers are created equal. Some excel at manufacturing jobs, while others succeed in making money. In the battle to be the nation's CEO-in-chief, Obama is building the argument that the U.S. economy would suffer with the latter, someone from the private equity world where Mitt Romney, his chief potential challenger and Bain Capital LLC co- founder, hails.
