Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

The German Shorthaired Pointer is an all purpose gun dog capable
of excellent abilities in both field and water. They are well balanced with
an elegant head and are lean in body. This breed originated in 19th century
Germany by hunters who required a dog that was serviceable for men hunting
on foot.
The German Shorthaired Pointer is an active breed that is
responsive, affectionate, and gentle. They are friendly and willing to
please. They do not have a flighty or nervous disposition, but may become
easily distracted.
This breed is high energy, willing to
please their master, and very smart. They are happy and friendly and get
along well with children. They will also get along well with other dogs and
cats provided that they are introduced to them and raised with them from
puppy-hood. This breed does enjoy barking. They are loyal and protective,
and prefer to be indoors with their family.
The German Shorthaired Pointer is extremely easy to groom. They must
be brushed regularly with a stiff bristle brush. It is important to check
this breed's feet after exercising and working. They must be dried
thoroughly after strenuous activity to keep them from becoming chilled.
This breed is an average shedder. They are generally healthy, but can be
prone to such problems as ear infections, hip dysplasia, and skin cancer.
The German Shorthaired Pointer's coat is of a harsh texture. It is short, flat and thick and is of a dense nature, which makes it water resistant. The coat may be solid liver in color or a combination of liver and white spotted and liver roan.
The German Shorthaired Pointer is easily trained, but can be
stubborn. They require patient, firm, and consistent guidance. They excel
in obedience, agility, tracking, hunting, and flyball. This breed has a
natural instinct to guard and must have obedience training.
The German Shorthaired Pointer are tireless and full of energy.
Vigorous exercise is extremely important. If they are not given an
appropriate amount of exercise and stimulation they become restless and
destructive. They are a good family pet for the active family. This breed
needs a lot of space and room to run. They must have a fenced yard.

Why Cable TV in Asbury, NJ
If cable TV in Asbury, NJ is something you are considering, here are our favorite reasons for it. There are hundreds of HD channels, that look great no matter the weather, unlike satellite. It offers everything from movies and TV shows, to On Demand entertainment. And with most providers you get all your local channels for free. It's easier to install, because there is less equipment than with satellite. Most providers offer a free HD DVR, and you can bundle digital cable with high-speed internet--which is faster than DSL--and only pay one bill every month. Plus cable is:

Snow may mess up satellite, but itdoesn't faze cable

How Asbury Watches TV
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
Cable High-Speed Internet in Asbury
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many Asbury residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $42 every month they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in New Jersey grew to 73% by 2010.

San Jose Sharks forward Raffi Torres will undergo another surgery intended to alleviate an infection in his previously repaired right knee, the team announced Wednesday.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan also disclosed that forward Joe Thornton, the team's captain since 2010, has lost that designation entering training camp in September.
Torres played in only five regular-season games last season because of the knee injury. After he had an ACL repair during the fall, an infection developed. He came back after the Olympic break and then missed more time before returning for the playoffs.
Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said Torres had a surgical procedure in Toronto recently to remove the original graft from a cadaver that was put in place during the ACL repair. The next surgery will will use his own tissue.
"Raffi has started a rehabilitation phase, but will need to repeat the surgical procedure to repair the ACL damage suffered on Sept. 20, 2013," Wilson said.
"We expect Raffi to return to the team during the 2014-15 season, but no official timeline for his return is being set at this time."
Thornton, who came to San Jose in 2005, has 740 points in 675 games for the Sharks and holds the franchise record for assists with 567.
"We are going to have a fresh slate at training camp as far as leadership goes," McLellan said. "The veteran players that were on this team last year will have to come up with the way they're going to carry themselves, the way they're going to lead. And then we'll determine who our 'C' and 'As' will be as we go forward."
Thornton will be given the opportunity in camp to regain the leadership role.
"Thornton could end up being the captain. I don't know, none of us know," McLellan said. "If it's real evident he's the guy, he'll be the captain. If there's somebody else that assumes that role and is prepared to take it on and doing a very good job, then they'll be."

Others book relaxing cruises in the Mediterranean or spend their holidays on the beach at this age. Not Georges Probst. Shortly before his 66th birthday, the passionate bike rider will turn his back on cold Switzerland and fly to Uchuaia, Argentina on January 2. His luggage includes his BMC Cargo as well as around 35 kg of baggage that he will transport on his Cargo, split up into several bags. Packed in this manner, he will spend the following months crossing all of South America, from the south to the north - with daily legs of up to 100 km in the most varied of climate zones. A hardness test both for man and material. But it is not Georges' first long trip by bike: From November 2005 to March 2007, Georges traveled from Sydney to Neuchâtel - and brought thousands of impressions and emotions home with him.
Last Monday, Georges picked up the Cargo from BMC and told us a little about his preparations and plans. Anyone interested can follow Georges on his trip at www.amsud-che-40.ch. We will also publish regular updates on our website - Georges has promised us pictures and news.
Well then, good luck!

Hello fellow red head.
Okay just had to get that out of the way. :)
Good grief…um, I say number two is the lie. Though I'd like to think it true as well.
Vibi from La Casserole Carrée is our Thanksgiving Twofer Pie host this week. I love brushing up on my French while reading her blog but she also has a translator (upper right corner) for when I get lazy too. Gotta love that Google technology!
2. Do you have a favorite baking memory?
My father loves homemade doughnuts but my mother never made them because she was too scared of deep frying. She had to be hospitalised when I was 7, so my father and I secretly made doughnuts while she was recovering. I helped frying the doughnut holes, frosted some of them and shaked others in a bag filled with powdered sugar… at the time, I thought that was the coolest and most magical technique I had ever seen! Finaly, I brought the decorated doughnut holes to my mom's hospital bedside, all neatly organised in a recycled Valentine's heart shaped box… how cheesy can one get, I ask you!
3. Who is your TWD blog idol?
So many are amazing it's hard to tell. I admire my good friend Isabelle of "Les gourmandises d'Isa" for she is a cooking and baking machine (no one would even believe everything she makes on a normal day). I also admire Shari of "Whisk: a food blog", Steph of "A Whisk and a Spoon" and Karen of "Scrumptious Photography". Oh! and I have to add Clara of "I(heart)food 4 thought" …everyone should have a Clara on their path.
4. What has been your favorite TWD recipe so far?
A tie between the Gooey Chocolate Cakes and the Fresh Orange Cream Tart.
5. What recipe are you dying to make that no one has picked yet?
All of what's left …and that's probably why I participate every week, unless major constraint keeps me from doing so.
6. What 2 questions would you ask Dorie if you ever met her?
"Would you by any chance, be feeding your neighbourhood?"
"What is the one thing you find the hardest to make, or dislike the most?"
8. What one item in the kitchen best describes you and your personality?
A four-interchangeable-plates waffle iron, for its crazy versatility.
9. What's your favorite band or CD of all time?
Gravity by Jesse Cook (1998) – But really, all of his work.
Mario Takes a Walk – Jesse Cook (Gravity)
10. If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?
I've traveled to so many places which I fell in love with it's hard to choose, but definately Amsterdam – Holland, Grasse – South of France and Cascais – Portugal, would be at the top of my list
11. Complete the statement "I recommend…" (it can be a show, movie, book, restaurant, website, activity, etc.)
Look, listen, smell, taste, touch… learn. Be positive, be Zen.
12.If you knew you could try anything and not fail (and money was no object), what dream would you attempt?
Spend the rest of my life in university, studying all I wanted: Medicine, Theology, Anthropology, Sociology, Politics, Fine Arts …I could go on and on.
Chocolate Malted Whopper Drops
13. What super-power would you most like to have, and why?
Be able to fly.
14. If you had 1 hour of free time, no distractions, what would you do?
Dunno… try myself at flying?
15. What is the meal and dessert you would choose as your very last?
Hummm… All kinds of cheeses come to mind, foie gras, garlic butter escargots, duck, creamy pasta, sauted mushroom and my mom's raisin pie but really, if I'm dying soon after, I have a feeling I'm going somewhere way better than what any food could possibly satisfy, so… just about anything and everything would do, as long as I get there on a full stomach!
16. What is the "strangest" food you ever ate?
At a special "Insect Tasting Event", roasted queen ants' abdomens, larva pizza, chocolate covered grasshoppers and drosophila eggs (fruit fly eggs) on banana cake. Hey! I did answer "anything and everything" to the previous question! Plus, they're full of protein, ya know!
17. What are three adjectives that describe you?
Broad Minded
Different (as in original)
18. What is your favorite thing about yourself?
It took me a very long time to accept my red hair, but I learn to really like them when I realized so many women were dying theirs the same as mine!
19. Have you ever met a famous person? who?
Roger Federer
20. What's your favorite spice?
Black pepper, black pepper and black pepper!
21. Do you speak another language? (If yes, say something and translate)
Too long to do… Linguistics was my major, translation my minor, but many already know that my mother tongue is French. So besides the obvious English, I can carry conversations in Spanish, Italian and Hebrew. I know some Greek and dream of learning an Asian language; anyone from Cantonese, Mandarin to Vietnamese or Korean.
22. Do you have any pets? (List what kind of pet, names etc)
A two years old Chartreux called "Boucane" which is a French slang term for "smoke".
Believe me when I say he knows the camera's pointed at him!
23. Are you a 'morning' or 'night' person?
Definitely a night person. I've have been suffering from insomnia for over 20 years now (yawn).
24. What was the last book you read?
The French version of The Trouble with Islam Today – Irshad Manji. I can not for the life of me, get into novels. So I only read biographies, true stories, life experiences, etc.
25. "2 Truths And a Lie" – Share 3 unique things about yourself and your life, 2 of them true, 1 false, and let the group guess which one isn't true.
1. I locked myself out of my apartment in broad daylight, barefoot in forty freakin' freezin' inches of snow, wearing only my underwear.
2. When I had the flu, my mother used to send me to school wearing a garlic garland around my neck… bummer, my seat was next to the heater.
3. I volunteer for a palliative care association, as an "end of life" in-home companion, for terminaly ill cancer patients.
Hello fellow red head.
Okay just had to get that out of the way. :)
Good grief…um, I say number two is the lie. Though I'd like to think it true as well.
T'es donc ben cute! Je suis certaine que tu n'as pas changé une miette! :) J'ai toujours voulu avoir les cheveux roux. Je n'ai que quelques mèches rousses naturelles près des tempes et j'adore ça! Je n'ai pas la moindre idée de ce qui pourrait être ton mensonge mais je vais dire #1 parce que je ne voudrais pas que ça m'arrive! lol!
(You are so cute! I'm sure you haven't changed a bit! :) I've always wanted to have red hair. I only have a bit of natural red around the temples and I love it! I have no idea what your lie could be but I'll say #1 because I would not want that to happen to me! lol)!
vibi, that photo of you is adorable:) thanks for listing my blog!!
i'm also going to go with #2 as the lie…
I know which one is the lie, but I'm not gonna tell! It's so nice to know more about you. Love your cat, he's adorable.
Je connais déjà le mensonge, mais je ne le révèlerai pas! C'est vraiment bien d'apprendre toutes ces choses sur toi, je me suis bien amusée en te lisant. Et ton chat est trop mignon!
t'es aussi mignonne qu'Anne aux pignons verts ( que j'adore !! ).lol ! lol ! lol!
Je comprends maintenant pourquoi tu aurais aimé que Monsieur Carré joue de la guitare….:)
Que tu es belle sur cette photo! C'est vraiment amusant de lire tes réponses, ça permet de te connaître un peu plus et tu sembles être quelqu'un de vraiment extraordinaire. Moi je dis que c'est le #2 le mensonge…
Oh my gosh, you were one cute 5 year old! What a great picture.
I'm thinking the garlic one is the lie… I hope so anyway, LOL.
What a cute picture of you! And your cat is so handsome (no doubt he knows it, too.)
I really enjoyed the musical selection — thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much TWDers, for your interest in my OSI answers! …and also to have participated with me this week, I hope I didn't forget anyone in my roll of thanks!
Now, to come clean… number 2 statement is a lie! Many of you had it right, but what you didn't know is that it really happened… only not to me but to my partner! YES! indeed, HIS mother used to send him to school with garlic around his neck, when he had the flu… and YES! he did sit next to the heater! LOL LOL
As far as locking myself out of my apartment, well for those of you who wanted to know… I ended up having to walk around the block, in a neighbour's borrowed fireman boots (no coat! go figure why he didn't lend me one!?), just to find my back door locked as well. Had to come back to the front and cross a second time, the neighbourhood's schoolyard filled with kids at recess, and wait it out in the fireman's apartment until I got a hold of a spare set of keys, about two hours later! (but thank goodness once in his apartment, the fireman neighbour had the decency to lend me a blanket!)
Thanks again! …read you next, in your TWD posts!

Some girlfriends really are terrific. It's easy to count on them because they'll be there for you no matter what. Even if you're in a weird state of mind, your best friends will join in on the strangeness with you because they are after all, best friends. You don't have to worry about being judged either, yay!
Here's 11 really strange things girls sometimes do together, share with your friends if you agree
1. Tell you all about who added them on social media
If your crush, any C-list celebrity like one of the "Rich Kids of Beverly Hills" or higher, and anyone you yourself would love to add but don't have the balls to do so (see: ex-boyfriend's sister and that socialite-y girl with good style), you blab all about it.
Once you divulge the news, your trusty friends promptly respond with a chorus of, "No way! That's awesome!" We just can't help being soooo popular.
2. Hug everytime you see each other
Like Europeans kissing each cheek, girls are big on hugging. Not every embrace is of equal genuineness, though. Here's an overview of the levels of hugging.
- The Unexpected Hug: You're on the street, in your zone and then — BAM! — it's your bestie from abroad. "Oh-em-gee, hey!"
… And cue hug.
- The Friendly Hug: Despite just seeing your girlfriend at dinner on Tuesday, you greet her with a hello on Friday night as if it's been months (because you guys really do just love each other that much!).
- The Awkward Hug: One of you goes in for it while the other one ducks out and so continues until you both half-ass it and finally walk away.
Use the same phrases to start sentences
3. Ask each other if they need nose jobs
4.…Or boob jobs, or Botox, or to lose weight.
5. Discuss what they dream about
Full disclosure: I actually really hate listening to people share their dreams with me (unless, of course, I play a starring role in it).
Nevertheless, we ladies love to dole out our snooze-worthy stories and then dissect them together to find deeper meaning. Freud would be proud.
6. Make all kinds of diet and exercise plans but get drunk instead
This one is a real classic that gets about as far as putting on the spandex. Sunday: Sit on the couch and resolve to "get healthy." Beginning of the week: Get healthy. Weekend: Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball." Sunday: Repeat.
7. Tell each other sad stories
It begins innocuously with, "Do you guys wanna hear something sad?" and then very quickly turns into a book club of women exchanging tragic tales.
No disrespect intended; we just can't resist sharing a hauntingly provocative story with our girlfriends… not to bring the mood down, or anything.
8. Read horoscopes and apply it to their lives
Mercury in retrograde right now is seriously f*cking sh*t up in this world. When you apologize for your momentary flip-out, your friends find it totally acceptable to blame it on the cosmic universe and the fact that you're a natural-born Leo.
9. Name things
You use two-word descriptors for every one of you and your friend's hookups (How else have you kept them straight since freshman year?). Some gems: "Sexy Loser," "Ben Law" and "Miami Dan."
It doesn't stop there, either. We name things like friend groups ("The Michigan Girls"), our apartments and even our friends who already have names.
10. Chill in bed together while text messaging
Everyone piles into whoever has the fluffiest princess bed — cell phones in hand — and contemplates things like which characters you are from "Girls" or "Sex and the City."And even though everyone in the group chat is currently present, you guys still communicate via text message because…emoticons.
11. Disguise talking smack as "venting"
Bitching is us talking about our day, true confessions are really intimate secrets and venting is basically surface level sh*t-talking, which we don't actually believe but just need someone else to nod her head at. Anything that is of actual importance is reserved for in-depth and in-person conversations, preferably over brunch or cocktails or both.

When the merger of Edwards Angell and Wildman Harrold was announced back in August 2011, some observers, such as our beloved commenters here at Above the Law, viewed the move as an act of desperation. Because both firms had a tough time during the recession, the notion of their combining with each other reminded some people of… well, this.
Now, as we approach the two-year anniversary of the merger's announcement, how are things going over at Edwards Wildman? Are Angells flapping their wings with joy and Wildmen hoisting glasses of grog?
Not exactly, say some….

Well, Hutch, I can't think of anything too crazy that i have shot on accident other than my garage wall multiple times. Either from a miss, or bare shaft tuning, or a worn out target letting the arrows pass through too far.
Come to think of it there was one time.......I was at an indoor shoot about 13 years ago. It was in the wintertime and being held in an old armory. I went to draw back and my release broke into several pieces. I was about 1/3 the way back when it broke and I hit myself in the mouth giving myself a fat lip. I was not drawing level so the arrow flew up high and hit the wall of the armory and bounced around a few times. Of course all eyes were on me. We were picking up springs and broken pieces of release for several feet in front of me. I haven't raised my bow to draw since. Thats back in the 70 lb days.

Race Analysis: Supposed power figures, helmet sizes and the coming of the young French are just some of the subjects tackled in our last Vuelta Lowdown as Ed Hood looks back at what was one of the most thrilling GrandTours of the last 10 years.
The day the sprinters had been waiting for finally arrived in Madrid and it was Michael Matthews from Down Under who came through and took stage win number two. The stage belonged to Matthews but the Vuelta belonged to Chris Horner who claimed the biggest win of his long career.
Race Report: Today was billed to be the final battle to sort out this year's Vuelta a España and it didn't disappoint. L'Angliru was the perfect place for the gladiators of the road to test each other to the limit and the oldest of them triumphed through the fog. We also had another young Frenchman show that cycling has turned the corner and is alive and kicking.
Our senior reporter Ed Hood has been to and reported roadside from more GrandTours than most of us have watched on TV but even he has never seen a 41 year old in the lead at a GrandTour with just two stages to go. Here's Ed's latest thoughts on the last few days at the Vuelta and what to expect today on the infamous Angliru.
It's just a shame that Joaquim Rodriguez lost so much time early on in this extraordinary Vuelta Espana; Purito produced a trademark last-gasp acceleration to snare the stage win today as Vincenzo Nibali and Chris Horner continued to throw heavyweight hooks at each other. Today, it was the American who landed the biggest blows, battering his Italian rival out of the red leader's jersey.
Race Report: This Vuelta a España is shaping up to be one of the closest fought Grand Tours for many a year. Nibali had been looking safe in his lead, but now he has that 'old man' Horner too close for comfort. The day goes to Vasil Kiryienka though, who took a beautiful stage win on the steepest of summit finishes. Yet more excitement from Spain!
We last spoke to NetApp-Endura's Zak Dempster on the first rest day of the Vuelta so it's time to check in with him again and get his take on those three dramatic days in the Pyrenees and what lies ahead for the rest of the race.
We used to see Ekimov try this nearly every day at the Tour de France back in the day, the last kilometer smash-and-grab raid. It didn't often work, but Bauke Mollema implemented the tactic to perfection today. A Vuelta-saving stage win for the Belkin leader, and here's how he did it ...
With a rest day in the Vuelta today it's time to look back at the superb three days of racing we had in the Pyrenees. The weather mightn't have been to everyone's tastes but there's no denying the quality of racing that we've witnessed at the Vuelta so far. This race just keeps getting better and better with the final result still from certain with less than a week to go.
Race Report: It's official, the 2013 Vuelta a España is crazy! Just when we thought Vincenzo Nibali looked to be in control; all hell lets loose and the Italian struggles to stay with his main rivals. At the same time the young Breton; Warren Barguil shows the old hands how to win Stages (again) and there is still a week to go.
Race Report: Alexandre Geniez (FDJ) was away for almost the whole day and eventually dropped all of his companions to take the best win of his career atop the famous Peyragudes climb as the race dipped over the border into France to honor the 100th Anniversary of its sister race, the Tour de France.
Race Report: Yet another crazy day in Spain, this time the weather and the mountains played the biggest part in the final outcome. It was the day for brave riders and the 23 year old Daniele Ratto showed his metal to win one of the hardest days (so far) on this Vuelta.
With a mountainous weekend of action ahead of us at the Vuelta and bad weather predicted this weekend could be the make or break time for the GC riders. Time to take a look at the results so far and see what's ahead in what is proving to be a superb GrandTour of action so far.
Race report: Yeah, procycling is easy. Romp the Tour de l'Avenir, get a World Tour contract, rock up to the Vuelta and trounce an elite breakaway group. Big congratulations to the super talent Warren Barguil for a perfectly executed stage victory on the stunning Catalan coast this afternoon.
Race Report: Today was probably an extra rest day for the GC riders and this allowed an early break to go up the road, but everyone knew they would not be contesting the finish at the beach in Tarragona. In the end the riders fought through the crazy final kilometres for World Champion Philippe Gilbert to show off the rainbow jersey in the best possible way - with both arms aloft!
No messing about from the Swiss time trial machine Fabian Cancellara today. Just when everyone thought Tony Martin had done it again with a time that looked out of sight, the Fabster came steamrollering along to slam his German rival into the dust. Away from their private jousting, however, it was all about the overall contenders.
On the first rest day of the Vuelta Ed Hood examines what we've learnt from the mountain stages so far and who are the names to watch in the coming 11 stages.
Race Report: Yet again "the old man" Chris Horner showed he has a lot of life left in those legs yet. When the cream came to the top he was there to deliver the decisive blow and the other top men didn't see him again until after the finish. Stage and overall (again) for the American. Another crazy day in Spain and the lead changes yet again.
Another superb day of racing in Spain saw the riders battle hard for the honor and glory of the stage on the hilltop finish of Valdepeñas de Jaén as the red jersey changed hands yet again during this already hard fought Vuelta.
Race Report: Stage 8 was a day for the Czechs and the Irish in the south of Spain. The aspiring Netapp-Endura team played their king card at the finale of the stage to launch Leopold König up the final climb for their biggest win. Behind; Nico Roche took third and the overall lead. Yet another day of change on the Vuelta a España.

Is there a central location that shows vacant positions in New York State agencies?
The Governor's Office of Employee Relations maintains a web site called, JobWeb, which lists vacancies for many, but not all New York State agencies. Some agencies post vacancies directly on their own web sites and others post hard copies of vacancy announcements in their offices. The New York State Department of Civil Service's, web site, has considerable information about finding a job with New York State government. Keep in mind that this information generally covers Executive Branch employment only. For employment with a public authority, the New York State Legislature or the Office of Court Administration, you should contact the personnel offices in those agencies.

Bear with me, I am a born-again newby, I am getting back into archery after being out for over 25 years.
I just bought a vision, and am attempting to tune it. Everything I see says that the brace height should be 7-7 3/4
the brace height is 6 5/8. did this come with the right string? and how would I verify that? it seems to me that it is way off.
2nd question is there a prefered starting point on this bow for the nock point?

I saw and heard my first Sandhill Crane of the year.
I can't stand those cranes. I like all nature, but one of the least is those cranes. We have tons of them here spring, summer and fall. They are noisy and cause problems and are a protected bird here.

Today I spoke at the Nat'l Prayer Breakfast in Washington. During my speech I gave the President a copy of my Bonhoeffer book… Here's the article from WORLD. Here's one from The Baptist Press. Here's the Catholic News Agency. And here's National Review.
My talk begins 35 mins in and ends with me leading the 3,500 assembled in singing "Amazing Grace". No kidding.
Guess who snapped this photo below? None other than VP Joseph P. Biden, who of his own accord very graciously offered to take it for me! Amazing. I wonder how many photos there are of U.S. President's taken by U. S. Vice Presidents?

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Boston Acoustics MSub by Dave Bar Why add a powered subwoofer? A powered subwoofer gives you bass you can feel as well as hear. Our customers love the depth and impact their subs add to music and movies. We hear comments like "it brings out sounds I didn't know existed in discs I've watched a million times." Powered subwoofers aren't just for big bass that rattles your picture frames; they can also deliver tight, accurate lows. If you haven't shopped for a powered sub in a while, you might be surprised at how small they get. Look for an ultra-compact model if you want to tuck your sub away under an end table or in a corner. Elegance with an attitude Boston Acoustic's MSub can deftly render the delicate acoustic bass line from a jazz standard, then turn around and deliver a room-rattling crash of thunder on a movie soundtrack. It will faithfully and effortlessly reproduce the deepest bass in all your favorite music, films, and games. It features a powerful 10" woofer reinforced by dual 8" passive radiators for rich, low-distortion sound. An attractive, room-friendly cabinet design with gently curved sides and ultra-solid construction minimizes performance-robbing resonance — ensuring that all you hear is pure, clean bass. Plenty of muscle and flexibility The MSub's built-in 500-watt amp includes Boston's proprietary BassTrac® circuitry, which keeps the bass deep and full while eliminating audible distortion. The power supply's beefy toroidal transformer holds plenty of power in reserve to help the sub handle even the most demanding music or soundtrack with ease. You can hook up the sub to your system via the stereo RCA line-level or speaker-level inputs, and use the adjustable crossover and volume control for perfect blending with the rest of your speakers. There's also a dedicated LFE input, which bypasses the sub's crossover to allow your surround sound receiver or preamp/processor to use its own built-in crossover controls for outstanding home theater sound.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features 10" Woofer + Dual 8" Passive Radiators: The Boston Acoustics MSub powered subwoofer contains a front-firing 10"woofer and two side-firing 8" passive radiators to deliver rich bass with very little distortion. With the MSubwoofer, you can enjoy rich bass while listening to music, watching movies or TV shows, or playing games through your home theater system. 500-Watt Amplifier w/ Torroidal Transformer: The built-in 500-watt power amplifier can provide up to 1,000 watts of peak output when needed. The speaker's internal power supply features a large torroidal transformer to keep plenty of power on reserve to handle demanding music or film soundtracks with ease. BassTrac Circuitry: The subwoofer's amplifier features BassTrac circuitry, a proprietary Boston Acoustics-designed technology, which tracks the subwoofer's input signal and prevents the amplifier from being driven into audible distortion. Unlike conventional designs, BassTrac does not merely remove the signal peaks that cause distortion; instead it preserves the waveform's shape so the fidelity of the signal is maintained. Even the heaviest bass passages in movies or audio tracks will sound solid, rich, and full, without unwanted artifacts. Controls: The Boston Acoustics MSub provides two rear-panel controls to fine tune the powered sub to your home theater system. Volume Level: The rotary volume control adjusts the volume of the powered subwoofer relative to the other speakers in your home theater system. Low Pass Crossover: The MSubwoofer features an adjustable low pass filter (40-180Hz) that allows you to tune the subwoofer's output to match the bass extension of the main speakers for optimal balance. For instance, if your speakers have excellent bass extension, you can set the subwoofer to produce only the lowest tones. Polarity Switch: The subwoofer's polarity switch allows you to select 0° or 180°. If the bass sounds weak, muddy, or unclear, toggling the polarity control may strengthen the bass attack. Auto-On: The Auto-On Circuit automatically turns the amplifier on when an audio signal is detected. It will automatically turn off after several minutes with no signal. The LED indicator on the back of the sub glows green when the unit is on and red when the unit is in standby. Connections: To connect seamlessly with your home theater system, the MSubwoofer is equipped with three types of inputs. LFE Input: The LFE input (low-frequency effects) input is designed to be used with electronics such as preamplifiers, audio/video receivers, and other devices with an LFE output and built-in crossover controls (the sub's built-in crossover will not be used). Stereo RCA Inputs: The left and right Stereo RCA inputs allow you to connect the powered sub to a home receiver's subwoofer preamp output (not LFE). You can use the sub's built-in low pass filter to optimize the crossover point between the subwoofer and your main speakers. Speaker-Level Inputs: Use the sub's speaker-level inputs (binding posts) when your receiver does not contain an LFE or stereo RCA output. These speaker inputs accept both left and right channel speaker signal from your receiver (make sure your front speakers are set to Large). The binding post speaker terminals will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), banana plugs (single/dual), spade-connectors, or pin-connectors. Placement: For optimal results, place the powered subwoofer on the same wall (or in a corner) as your front speakers. In principal, the lower the crossover point, the greater the distance the powered sub can be from your front speakers. However, the sound is typically best when the sub is within 12' of the front speakers.

Written By Anonymous, Clifton Park, NY on Sunday, March 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is very clean sounding bass, not just a thump (even though they do that "thump"). This sub allows you to feel everything that is going on but at same time allows you to hear all the miss and highs too. Pros: Very clean smooth bass allowing you to feel what you are watching but not intrusive on the miss and highs from your other speakers. Cons: You might spend a little extra money on super glue to keep the wife's decorations on the wall. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 12, 2010)-Red Door Drive, the longest shot in the field at nearly 11-1, and Martin Pedroza held off Red Eye Express and hot riding Rafael Bejarano to win the $48,456 feature on Wednesday at Hollywood Park.
The main event was one of two races Bejarano, who took over the lead in the jockey standings, did not win as the third week of the spring-summer meet began.
Continuing a hot streak that began on May 2, Bejarano won with five of his seven mounts. It was the second quintuple of his career at Hollywood Park. The other five win day came on April 25, 2009.
Bejarano, who has won eight riding titles since he made California his base in 2007, increased his total through 14 days to 23 wins, three more than Tyler Baze. The native of Arequipa, Peru has won with 19 of his last 44 mounts. He's had seven consecutive multiple win days.
After sitting out the first race, Bejarano won the second with Super Sophie ($3.20), then swept the fourth, fifth and sixth with Gotham Devil ($8.80), Camp Victory ($7.40) and Candy Lion ($4) before capping his day in the eighth with Sweet Hanni ($4.40). Good Vibration, his mount in the third, finished fifth.
Giving trainer Bob Baffert his second win on Wednesday, Red Door Drive, a 5-year-old Sky Mesa horse out of the Sandpit mare Sheza Nasty Lady, sat second behind clear leader Warren's Pepe, got the lead early in the stretch, then dug in when challenged to prevail by a head. The final time for the 1 1/16 miles was 1:42.72.
Owned by Arnold Zetcher LLC, Red Door Drive won for the third time in his last four starts. Bred in Kentucky by Cloyce Clark, he is 4-for-18 lifetime and has earned $124,680.
Worse than third only once in eight starts for Baffert, whose other win came with third race favorite Subsidized, Red Door Drive paid $23.60, $11.20 and $5.80. Red Eye Express, an Irish bred son of Giant's Causeway making his U.S. debut for trainer Neil Drysdale and owner Neil Jones, returned $7.80 and $5.20. Warren's Pepe, looking for his second win in a row after capturing the Santana Mile on April 10 at Santa Anita, paid $4.40 to show while finishing 2 ½ lengths behind Red Eye Express.
Never, Turf And Sky, Believe In Hope, the 7-5 favorite, and Gothic Samurai completed the order of finish.
The racing week continues Thursday. Post time is 1 p.m. for the eight race card.

What is the digestive system?
The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract—also called the digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—which includes the rectum—and anus. Food enters the mouth and passes to the anus through the hollow organs of the GI tract. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system. The digestive system helps the body digest food.
Bacteria in the GI tract, also called gut flora or microbiome, help with digestion. Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play roles in the digestive process. Together, a combination of nerves, hormones, bacteria, blood, and the organs of the digestive system completes the complex task of digesting the foods and liquids a person consumes each day.
Why is digestion important?
Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body. The body breaks down nutrients from food and drink into carbohydrates, protein, fats, and vitamins.
Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the sugars, starches, and fiber found in many foods. Carbohydrates are called simple or complex, depending on their chemical structure. Simple carbohydrates include sugars found naturally in foods such as fruits, vegetables, milk, and milk products, as well as sugars added during food processing. Complex carbohydrates are starches and fiber found in whole-grain breads and cereals, starchy vegetables, and legumes. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, recommends that 45 to 65 percent of total daily calories come from carbohydrates.1
Protein. Foods such as meat, eggs, and beans consist of large molecules of protein that the body digests into smaller molecules called amino acids. The body absorbs amino acids through the small intestine into the blood, which then carries them throughout the body. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, recommends that 10 to 35 percent of total daily calories come from protein.1
Fats. Fat molecules are a rich source of energy for the body and help the body absorb vitamins. Oils, such as corn, canola, olive, safflower, soybean, and sunflower, are examples of healthy fats. Butter, shortening, and snack foods are examples of less healthy fats. During digestion, the body breaks down fat molecules into fatty acids and glycerol. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, recommends that 20 to 35 percent of total daily calories come from fat.1
Vitamins. Scientists classify vitamins by the fluid in which they dissolve. Water-soluble vitamins include all the B vitamins and vitamin C. Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E, and K. Each vitamin has a different role in the body's growth and health. The body stores fat-soluble vitamins in the liver and fatty tissues, whereas the body does not easily store water-soluble vitamins and flushes out the extra in the urine. Read more about vitamins on the Office of Dietary Supplements website at www.ods.od.nih.gov.
How does digestion work?
Digestion works by moving food through the GI tract. Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body. Waste products of digestion pass through the large intestine and out of the body as a solid matter called stool.
Table 1 shows the parts of the digestive process performed by each digestive organ, including movement of food, type of digestive juice used, and food particles broken down by that organ.Table 1. The digestive process
|Digestive Juices Used
|Food Particles

|Upper muscle in stomach relaxes to let food enter and lower muscle mixes food with digestive juice
|Stomach acid
|Small intestine
|Small intestine

|Starches, protein, and
|Pancreatic juice
|Starches, fats, and
|Bile acids
How does food move through the GI tract?
The large, hollow organs of the GI tract contain a layer of muscle that enables their walls to move. The movement of organ walls—called peristalsis—propels food and liquid through the GI tract and mixes the contents within each organ. Peristalsis looks like an ocean wave traveling through the muscle as it contracts and relaxes.
Esophagus. When a person swallows, food pushes into the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach. Once swallowing begins, it becomes involuntary and proceeds under the control of the esophagus and brain. The lower esophageal sphincter, a ringlike muscle at the junction of the esophagus and stomach, controls the passage of food and liquid between the esophagus and stomach. As food approaches the closed sphincter, the muscle relaxes and lets food pass through to the stomach.
Stomach. The stomach stores swallowed food and liquid, mixes the food and liquid with digestive juice it produces, and slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into the small intestine. The muscle of the upper part of the stomach relaxes to accept large volumes of swallowed material from the esophagus. The muscle of the lower part of the stomach mixes the food and liquid with digestive juice.
Small intestine. The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine and push the mixture forward to help with further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb the digested nutrients into the bloodstream. The blood delivers the nutrients to the rest of the body.
Large intestine. The waste products of the digestive process include undigested parts of food and older cells from the GI tract lining. Muscles push these waste products into the large intestine. The large intestine absorbs water and any remaining nutrients and changes the waste from liquid into stool. The rectum stores stool until it pushes stool out of the body during a bowel movement.
How do digestive juices in each organ of the GI tract break down food?
Digestive juices contain enzymes—substances that speed up chemical reactions in the body—that break food down into different nutrients.
Salivary glands. Saliva produced by the salivary glands moistens food so it moves more easily through the esophagus into the stomach. Saliva also contains an enzyme that begins to break down the starches from food.
Glands in the stomach lining. The glands in the stomach lining produce stomach acid and an enzyme that digests protein.
Pancreas. The pancreas produces a juice containing several enzymes that break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in food. The pancreas delivers digestive juice to the small intestine through small tubes called ducts.
Liver. The liver produces a digestive juice called bile. The gallbladder stores bile between meals. When a person eats, the gallbladder squeezes bile through the bile ducts, which connect the gallbladder and liver to the small intestine. The bile mixes with the fat in food. The bile acids dissolve fat into the watery contents of the intestine, much like how detergents dissolve grease from a frying pan, so the intestinal and pancreatic enzymes can digest the fat molecules.
Small intestine. Digestive juice produced by the small intestine combines with pancreatic juice and bile to complete digestion. The body completes the breakdown of proteins, and the final breakdown of starches produces glucose molecules that absorb into the blood. Bacteria in the small intestine produce some of the enzymes needed to digest carbohydrates.
What happens to the digested food molecules?
The small intestine absorbs most digested food molecules, as well as water and minerals, and passes them on to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical change. Specialized cells help absorbed materials cross the intestinal lining into the bloodstream. The bloodstream carries simple sugars, amino acids, glycerol, and some vitamins and salts to the liver. The lymphatic system, a network of vessels that carry white blood cells and a fluid called lymph throughout the body, absorbs fatty acids and vitamins.
How is the digestive process controlled?
Hormone and nerve regulators control the digestive process.
Hormone Regulators
The cells in the lining of the stomach and small intestine produce and release hormones that control the functions of the digestive system. These hormones stimulate production of digestive juices and regulate appetite.
Nerve Regulators
Two types of nerves help control the action of the digestive system: extrinsic and intrinsic nerves.
Extrinsic, or outside, nerves connect the digestive organs to the brain and spinal cord. These nerves release chemicals that cause the muscle layer of the GI tract to either contract or relax, depending on whether food needs digesting. The intrinsic, or inside, nerves within the GI tract are triggered when food stretches the walls of the hollow organs. The nerves release many different substances that speed up or delay the movement of food and the production of digestive juices.
