Sheza Bad Habit has raced all over the country, including at many smaller tracks like Dixie Downs, Sun Downs and Sandy Downs, but she seems to run her best under the bright lights of Los Alamitos. She proved that once again in the $125,000 Merial Distaff Challenge Championship (G1) when she defeated a tough field of older fillies and mares.
With Rodrigo Aceves aboard for trainer Bret Vickery, the 4-year-old daughter of Looking For Chicks broke well from the outside post and went on to win by a half-length in :19.605 for 400 yards. Owned by Alvin Jonas of Pahrump, Nevada, and bred in California by Vessels Stallion Farm LLC, Sheza Bad Habit earned the 10th win of her 24-race career and sent her bankroll to $159,799.
Sheza Bad Habit has raced at Los Alamitos, where she now has five career wins, in each of her three years on the track, but she's also raced throughout the Intermountain region. She became eligible for this race by finishing second in the Merial Sun Downs Distaff Challenge in Washington, and she also raced at Sandy Downs and Les Bois Park in Idaho this year.
"This mare is amazing," said Vickery. "She gives you everything and then some. When this mare throws a good race, she can run with the best of them. We've been discussing pulling some embryos this spring, but while she's running this well, we may have to rethink that."
Sheza Bad Habit is out of the unraced Apollo (TB) mare Sheza Habit, a full sister to champion and Grade 1 winner Old Habits.
Robert Gentry completed the trifecta in the race with a pair of homebreds. Fredaville, a mare by Mr Jess Perry, took second with 3-2 favorite and Grade 1 winner Fovee in third.
EBW Obsession, Features Lucky Charm, Corona For You, Shes First Down, A Regal Blue Sky, Memories N Moments and Stylish Jess BR completed the field.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I just got a 150 Destroyer since that's what I throw mostly( heavy star destroyers are my fav). Won't throw it till tomorrow and then might pick up a Boss or Tdevil.
Any thoughts from those of you who have had a chance to check them out?
ultra flippy? Am I gonna have to really hiezer it? huge difference from the 150's down to a 139?
floater? hit a tree yet? durability? etc...
Views: 3257
I haven't thrown Blizzard anything yet but today I got my first glimpse of a Blizzard Katana. It was in the 130s weight wise. The guy throwing it really liked it and was parking holes with it.
From what I read only the 130g's float, I tried to see if my 156g boss would float and it didn't. Don't worry I didn't let it sink much, thats the nice thing about working at a place with 7 pools lol.
I have used them for about a month now, picked them up from the factory store's first batch. I love the 155-157g boss's they fly dead staight for me with just a tad of hyzer at the end. putting them out there about 360-390 feet range. The destroyer for whatever reason is more overstable and I like it for my forehands and long hyzer holes. They do have a great skip action to them also and the only draw back is not being able to use them on windy days. Not saying you cant use them on windy days, but they have to be thrown in a way that does not fit my game.
Thrown with just a tad of hyzer on them, almost flat. So you shouldn't need to throw a hard hyzer angle if your one of us normal non 500 range players.
Durability, I hit a metal pole about 80 feet in front of me on a full pull, it left a tiny dint in the rim. So I would say they stand up pretty good to the duability test.
I've been throwig a 150g Katana, love it. Thinking about trying a 133g.
157 - its a cool lookin disc fly's similar to my z- nuc , would like to try a lighter disc , i bought it from discovering the world and they didn't really have specific weights just a choice of 130 discs or 150 discs
Thanks for the response.
thanks for the responses so far gang!
My 150 Boss is quite overstable for a light disc--but that's at altitude (7,000 ft)--I highly doubt it would be as overstable if throwing at flat-lander altitude. But there is no doubt in my mind that this technology will help all of us achieve longer, distances. Its nice to find a 150 disc that can take a beating and still have a reliable fade.
Now its time for DIscraft and Latitude to improve upon the technology.
I want to pick up a blizzard Destroyer and test it out. Hopefully in the lighter weights I'll finally be able to throw one right lol
I've thrown a 157g Destroyer a handful of times now. I think for now it is a training tool for me. I get wild results and I'm pretty sure it has to do with the quirks in my mechanics. On one throw it'll flip over and cruise well past 400', on the next I'll attempt to adjust and it'll go 330' on a hard hyzer line. The disc will definitely go, and it has pretty incredible stability for how light it is.
It's not a disc I trust for a serious round, yet, but I could see it becoming my open field full rip disc with more practice.
I've hit a couple of trees with it and skipped it off a road, so far no major dings or scrapes.
for me about the same , i have thrown a 167 pro and a 157 blizz, pro seems to have more skip at the end. the blizz seems easier to maneuver on golf lines . but i left the pro on the course a while back, so its hard to compare the two exactly , both are better than the r-pro,hope this helps

ETSU baseball drops opener at CofC
Friday, April 23, 2004CHARLESTON, S.C. (April 23, 2004) - The East Tennessee State University baseball team opened a critical Southern Conference series with College of Charleston on Friday, dropping the opening game of the series 15-5 at Patriots Point Park. The Cougars put together three four-run innings en route to improving their conference-leading record to 14-2 and their overall mark to 30-7. Meanwhile, the Buccaneeers dropped to 21-20 overall, 11-11 in SoCon play. While the game did not end up positive for the Bucs, things looked good early on. ETSU wasted little time breaking through against College of Charleston starting pitcher Reid Price, scoring two runs on four hits in the top of the first inning. Sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) started the early offensive spurt with a single, followed by a double down the left-field line by junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.). Sophomore Blake Church (Roswell, Gal.) then singled Byrne home and Moore scored later on a single by senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.). ETSU added another run in the top of the second to take a 3-0 lead. That single score came thanks to a single by Josiah Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.), who stole second and scored on a single by Byrne. The Bucs were leading 3-0 and sophomore starting pitcher Jeremy Hall (Gray, Tenn.) was cruising along with two outs in the bottom of the second when Charleston's offense finally came to life. The two-out rally began with a single by Jess Easterling, followed by a walk to Matt Kirkpatrick and a run-scoring single by Chris Campbell. With two runners on, the Cougars' Steve Friend gave his team the lead with a three-run home run that made it 4-3. Charleston added four more runs in the bottom of the third inning, thanks mainly to a three-run double by Campbell, and the Cougars then made it 9-3 thanks to a RBI single from Byron Barber in the bottom of the fourth. In the top of the fifth, ETSU got back on the scoreboard after Moore notched his third double of the game and Church followed with a two-run blast over the left field wall to make it 9-5. The Bucs kept the pressure on Charleston in the top of the sixth, as sophomore third baseman Greg Roberts (Douglas, Ga.) and sophomore centerfielder Matt Traylor (Knoxville, Tenn.) put together back-to-back singles with one out. However, the Cougars replaced Price with reliever Nick Chigges, who induced Byrne to hit into a double play and end the threat. Charleston put the game away in the bottom of the sixth by scoring four runs in a single frame for the third time in the game. After loading the bases, ETSU reliever Trevor Smith's (Newport, Tenn.) wild pitch allowed a runner to score, followed by a three-run home run by Jess Easterling that made it 13-5. The Cougars added two final runs in the bottom of the seventh. Price (5-3) picked up the victory on the mound, while Chigges garnered his second save of the season. Hall dropped to 6-6 on the year. Offensively, Charleston was led by Campbell, who finished the night with four hits and three RBIs. Friend also picked up three RBIs, while Barber and Matt Hallett collected two RBIs each. For the Bucs, Moore finished with four hits - all of which were doubles - while Church finished with two hits and three RBIs. The Bucs and Cougars will meet again today at 1 p.m., with the third and final game of the series scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday.

***I'd suspect a careful study of the owner's manual would reveal.
On the other hand, if I change the tungsten size selection does that change the startup performance if I am using a foot pedal for amperage control?
***Yes, the arc start characteristics are tailored for the electrode size. Selecting an electrode size smaller than the electrode used will give a softer start. The specific arc start parameters can be all be tweaked by going into the 'GEn' electrode selection, per below.
The owner's manual details this:
Page 38
6-2. Programmable TIG Start Parameters
A. Tungsten Selection
Preset TIG Start Parameters
Use Encoder control to select a tungsten size from the following: .020, .040, .062
(1/16 in.), .094 (3/32 in.), or .125 (1/8 in.)(.094 is the default). When one of the listed tungsten sizes is selected, the following TIG starting parameters are preset: Amperage, Start Time, Start Slope Time, and Preset Amperage Minimum. There are a separate set of parameters for AC and DC (to select polarity see Section C). If it is necessary or desired to manually set the TIG starting parameters, turn the encoder until [GEN] is displayed on the amps meter (see Section B).
***In answering your question, it appears that you need to spend more time with the owner's manual
Perhaps someone from Miller can chime in if there is some "engineering" documentation available for this welder.
***Typically, the end users of equipment know more about the operation of it than the factory does or cares to know. Welding machines are no exception.
***Below are some of your excerpted comments and replies; with this one statement finally cutting to the gist of what you're after:
'If I can learn WHAT parameters I want for a particular situation, I can figure out HOW to establish those parameters in the Dynasty.'
***IOW, You're saying that if you can learn what you need to be looking for in the arc and the puddle for a given joint, given material, given position.....then--You'll be above to figure out how to setup the Dynasty to do that......uuumm...that's called 'experience'. It's up to you to be able to control the arc, throw the heat, read and work the puddle.
There are often, more that one way to setup and weld with a Dynasty and get decent results, depending on the user's own preferences and quirks! Some ways are more effective and efficient than others--but some end users could care less.
The owner's manual tells me HOW to adjust various parameters but does not tell me much about the interrelation between the setting.
What I am after is to sort out which parameters are adjustable when using the machine with a remote amperage control vs. which parameters only function if I use a start/stop welding program. At least that is my task at the moment.
***Again, I'll bet the owner's manual discusses. I always use a remote.
While I can sympathize with him to some extent, from the customer's point of view I guess I would translate this to "We are going to sell you a $4,000 - $14,000+ welder with a zillion features but don't ask us to give you more than the most rudimentary documentation." Had I come across the sticky thread first it would have given me pause before purchasing the Dynasty. End of rant.
***From what I've seen of other manufacturer's setup documentation---Miller does far more. Miller is also customer friendly to the small user and has built it's biz over the decades, on poor service by the big boys-Lincoln in particular.
To get back on a positive note... Does anyone know of any good generic textbooks about inverter TIG welders? ***Nope---You need to also realize that setup parameters are often regarded as proprietary data, not to be shared with competitors or anybody. Many of the folks on this site are more charitable.
The un-academic venues like this site, Welding tips & tricks dot com and Welding Web actually can further one's training from real world, end user experience.
I looked at the AWS web site but their bookstore search seemed only to search the standards. If I can learn WHAT parameters I want for a particular situation, I can figure out HOW to establish those parameters in the Dynasty.
p.s. Actually I have seen the first one which in fact contains all of the other ones. It is included on a DVD with the machine. I did not recognize the individual video names at first glance. Decent BASIC info but it does not go into the more advanced programming features.
***Reviewing the basics shown--helps. There's more Miller videos on this site that give a good starting point, from which one can start fine tuning. The Chris Razor videos, in particular-to me, are quite revealing on what can be done with AC arc focus setup---welding on a massive AL engine block with 3 /32 electrode--around 230 amps. [In 1997, I showed Miller factory, road show guys--AC arc focusing on sharp tungsten on AL plate welding, on their 700A machine. Fast forward to 2000, Miller finally realized that AC arc focusing, using an inverter was actually a selling point and began advertising the same.....quoting myself from above 'Typically, the end users of equipment know more about the operation of it than the factory does or cares to know. Welding machines are no exception.']

Thanks dave powelson, I appreciate the time you have put into your reply. I have been continuing my study of the manual and have been in contact with Miller tech support. In my initial submission I askedWhich of these Advanced Functions are disabled when using a remote amperage control?
6.2A) Tungsten Selection
6.2C) TIG Start Polarity
6.2D) TIG Start Amperage
6.2E) Start Time
6.2F) Start Slope Time
6.2G) Preset Amperage MinimumNone of these Advanced Functions are disabled when using a remote amperage control.A note under illustration 6-3.A states "When a foot or finger remote current control is connected to the welding power source, initial amps, initial slope, final slope and final amps are controlled by the remote control, not by the welding power source." Is the "initial amps" referred to here the same as the Start Amperage set by 6-2.A? If not, where would the Start Amps be shown on the illustration?
Or for an example... I set the 6-2.D Start Amperage to 20 and the 6.2-E Start Time to 500 ms (1/2 second) and the Main Amps to 150. I then stomp the foot pedal to make a tack weld. Assuming I bottom the pedal in 100 ms. Does the current:
- start at 0 and ramp up to 150 amps in the time it takes me to bottom the pedal?
- start at 20 amps then ramp up to 150 amps in the time it takes me to bottom the pedal?
- start at 20 amps, remain there for 500 ms then jump to 150 amps?
- do something else which I have not imagined?
It seems to me that either the remote amperage control or the power source can be in charge; not both. An answer to the above question will help me to understand at least the current piece of the puzzle. I WOULD expect that the Start Polarity and Pre-flow Time are controlled by the power source regardless of the use of a remote amperage control or a remote on/off control.
By reverse inference from some pointy finger notes in the Remote 2T, 3T, 4T and Mini Logic pages it seems like the answer to my question would differ if I am in RMT STD or one of the other modes.

Who's the Boss? machine or the remote?
6-3a .jpg
A note under illustration 6-3.A states "When a foot or finger remote current control is connected to the welding power source, initial amps, initial slope, final slope and final amps are controlled by the remote control, not by the welding power source." ***Miller should have stated are started or initiated by the remote control.
Is the "initial amps" referred to here the same as the Start Amperage set by 6-2.A? ***Yes, see below and compare to the above. Initial amps and start amperage terms are being used interchangeably.
If not, where would the Start Amps be shown on the illustration?***start amps and initial amps terms are interchangeable as mentioned above.
Or for an example... I set the 6-2.D Start Amperage to 20 and the 6.2-E Start Time to 500 ms (1/2 second) and the Main Amps to 150. I then stomp the foot pedal to make a tack weld. Assuming I bottom the pedal in 100 ms. Does the current:
- start at 0 and ramp up to 150 amps in the time it takes me to bottom the pedal?
- start at 20 amps then ramp up to 150 amps in the time it takes me to bottom the pedal?
- start at 20 amps, remain there for 500 ms then jump to 150 amps? ***Yes--the pedal simply starts the sequence, once the start sequence is complete, the pedal then controls the arc amperage up to the preset limit of 150 amps. When pedal is released the power supply begins the downslope, post flow sequence.
- do something else which I have not imagined?
I'm not defending or excusing Miller. Manuals are compiled by technical writers and illustrators, hopefully under engineering guidance; which may be superfluous. Manufacturers need to pay attention and make corrections in their manuals, when the manuals create needless confusion among the troops.
On initial contacts with Miller support---they are prompt. courteous and you're dealing with clerks that use a standard script. At least, they're not in Mumbai--but stateside, English-first language. When looking to dig deeper (as you are) for a real answer than a scripted response from adverts or a manual......that's a whole nuther ball game. (Lincoln's the same way.)
Manufacturers tend to shield management and engineering from the real-world questions, complaints, or problems...
..until things go very, very wrong. I think it's more profitable to close the gate before the horse gallops off, than after he does...old school ethics.
[To get the installation instructions--prior to buying an option, to SEE what the installation entailed (Ground Current Sensor Kit 300 179) for my Dynasty 350,initial contacts with Miller support went nowhere-scripted responses, tried going to a back-door engineering contact, then I had to ask my LWS-Airgas to drag this out of them...and they got it done. It was like pulling teeth.)

Click on the link below: It is part 1 of a few videos if i recall.
This guy has all sorts of videos but in this series he goes over all the settings of an inverter. Pulse, Freq, balance, up slope down slope, etc. He is using an Everlast but the principle is the same. The only thing he doesn't go over is individual polarity as i dont think the everlast is that advanced.

Thanks regal2800,
I have watched Jody Collier's videos for quite some time now. He is dangerous to my wallet. In addition to some Tig Fingers his videos have prompted me to purchase a CK Worldwide FlexLock torch, my Dynasty 200 DX and I now have on order some stubby gas lens parts for my WP17 family torches.
Just for reference let me say that I am a hobbyist welder. I took some classes at the local community college about 6 years ago after retiring from a non-welding career. I have a science and engineering background so I understand the THEORY behind most of these settings. I am trying to sort out "Who's on first..." with Miller's multi-layered configuration process. In that respect, perhaps he Everlast has an advantage. But I don't buy my toys from China if I can buy American.
And I am retaking the TIG course at the CC. They now have a very experienced TIG welder teaching the course and I am sure I will pickup some valuable techniques. The course just started and I do not know yet how much experience he has on inverter machines. They do not have any in the lab (except for mine which I will be bringing in each week starting tomorrow :-) Two Dynasty 350s were ordered last year and were supposed to be installed by now. However, they are sitting in the vendor's warehouse as someone in purchasing has misplaced of the paperwork. Hopefully they will be here in a couple of weeks. Perhaps we can get a Miller rep to come by and do a little dog and pony show with them.
And thanks again and again dave powelson,
But I think I answered one of my questions but did not realize it. Figure 6-3.A which I had quoted and you have attached tells us that the Initial, Main and Final amps as well as the Initial and Final slopes are controlled by the remote current control when in remote standard mode. That tells me that the settings under section 6.2 are disabled. The Miller response should have told me that setting the machine for RMT STD, not the physical connection of the remote current control, disables the functions. I have read else where that in other modes such as 2T, 3T etc. the on/off switch in the foot pedal is respected but the amperage control is ignored. So I can experiment with some programmed welding processes without having to purchase a push button control.
If I examine your explanation***You're correct-the remote tells the machine to start the sequence and controls the amount of amperage (limited by the pre-set max amperage dialed in). When remote switches off, machine starts final amps and post flow.
Well again my thanks. And can I get an autographed copy of your book when it comes out?
Section 5-9 Output control in the manual tells you all of that
Application: Use Remote Trigger (Stan- dard) when the operator desires to use a foot pedal or finger amperage control (see Section 6-3A).
. When a foot or finger remote current control is connected to the welding power source, initial amps, initial slope, final slope, and final amps are
controlled at the remote control, not at the welding power source.
. If On/Off only type trigger is used, it must be a maintained switch. All Se- quencer functions become active, and must be set by the operator.
Application: Use Remote Trigger Hold (2T) when long extended welds are made. Remote Trigger Hold (2T) can help to re- duce operator fatigue.
If a foot or finger current control is con- nected to the welding power source, only
trigger input is functional (see Section 6-3B).
Section 5-11 discusses Sequencer function and the first section informs you what happens when you use a remote in standard
Sequencing is available only while using the TIG process, but is dis- abled if a remote foot or finger cur- rent control is connected to the Re- mote receptacle while in the RMT STD mode. Sequencer parameters cannot be selected if the Stick pro- cess (see Section 5-8) is active.Ed Conley

Thanks Broccoli1,
I had of course read that in section 5-9. However, when I read about the machine being able to configure its parameters based on tungsten diameter I got so enthused that I developed tungsten tunnel vision. I was concentrating on all of the neat TIG start features. I did not think back to an "oh by the way" note tucked at the bottom of another section.
If I was writing this documentation (and I have written a considerable amount of technical documentation, computer program user manuals, nuclear plant radiation and chemistry protection procedures etc. etc. etc.) I would place a note at the BEGINNING of section 6-2 to the effect:
Parameter in this section are not applicable if the power source is used in STD RMT mode.
In that way a user concerned with using the machine manually with a foot pedal would skip over this section and concentrate on other sections which are applicable to the desired use.
p.s. I re-watched Jody Collier's videos about setting up the Everlast inverter machine. He too seemed a little unsure when he got to the TIG startup parameter knobs when setting up the machine for STD RMT. "Our foot pedal's pretty well gonna bypass this stuff anyway"

Despite the rain, construction on the TMC campus has continued to thrive. The sound of hammers and the beating of nails have become the norm as the first two floors of the new dorms have taken shape. Students, faculty, and staff, all gathered Tuesday afternoon for a prayer dedication – dedicating the structure and asking the Lord do bless the students who will be making their home in Fall of 2011. Attendees were given the opportunity to write a word of encouragement along with a verse on pieces of the plywood, to be placed on the third floor lobby. From the very foundation, this building, as well as all the projects around campus, has been bathed with prayer. "Lord, may Your hand be on every board, every nail, every resident, and every student, that comes into Truett-McConnell College; From the very first verse to the very last tribe."
Most likely you have been made aware of the construction going on around the Truett-McConnell College campus. This blog will serve to keep you up-to-date with the progress of the renovations and building projects going on. As you drive onto the campus, the view of bulky CAT equipment is usually there to greet you. The beeping of tractors and dump trucks, the clanging of tools, and the aroma of "breaking ground" are all reminders of the greatness that is taking place. As a student, it is hard not to be distracted when the ruckus outside is pulling your attention from the classroom to the excitement of what's happening outside. The construction has caused a few inconveniences: who needs an alarm clock when you have the sound of tractors beeping to wake you up in the morning?

In a fitting tribute honoring fallen firefighter Blaine E. "Skeeter" Wildnauer, Jr., of Kersey, a solemn procession was held Wednesday morning which included dozens of fire departments from four counties.
Wildnauer, 58, died Saturday morning in the line of duty while responding to a traffic crash on the Old Kersey Road. A lifelong resident of the area, Wildnauer dedicated 40 years of service to the Fox Township Volunteer Fire Department.

Gallery: Iceland's Solheimar Ecovillage is Still Going Strong After 84 ...
Solheimar was founded in 1930 by Mrs. Sesselja Hreindis Sigmundsdottir as a children's home and organic farm, and that tiny settlement has grown into the prosperous community that it is now. Sesselja had been strongly influenced by the writings of Rudolph Steiner (upon whose work the Waldorf education program is based) particularly with his emphasis on the relationship between individuals and the environment, and she ensured that their little community was self-sustaining, in symbiosis with the land. Many of the children she worked with had special needs, and they thrived in this gentle, creative environment.
Although it wasn't known as an ecovillage back then, it has certainly become one today! In 1997, the Global Eco-village network proclaimed Solheimer the first sustainable hamlet in Iceland. There are roughly 120 residents (of whom over 40 have special needs), 5 businesses and 6 workshops (horticulture, a tree nursery, handicraft production, a candle factory, a musical instrument factory, and a weaving factory). There are also two guesthouses, a geothermal pool, and an organic cafe for visitors. Solheimer is only an hour outside of Reykjavik, and it's highly recommended that both visitors and Icelanders alike check it out when and if the opportunity arises. In addition to its gardens, there are some great examples of both modern and traditional architecture that are definitely worth seeing here.
Unfortunately, I must have shown up on the one day that everyone was on holiday—there was no one around when I arrived! It was an eco-village ghost town. Sadly, there was no one to show me around or let me buy organic food at the cafe (and I was unfortunately very hungry). The village was beautiful nonetheless, and looked like a great place in which to spend a retreat. Next time I'll call ahead, and I'd advise other interested visitors to do the same.

Hold up. grass on rooves? dang that's brilliant! no one has ever thought of that EVER! Seriously, hard to do and make it look nice without pesticides and fertilizer, probably the toughest things to get a hippie to use.

If you haven't met Tim Walsh, he manages our NatureWorks exhibit. There's more to Tim than NatureWorks. He's regarded as an expert on turtles and recently participated in a report on the Suwannee Cooter, a protected turtle. He describes the paper like this:
"This project came about from a couple of colleagues finding large collection of butchered (for human consumption) turtles at a rural dump site. The species was identified as the protected Suwannee Cooter. This is a Species of Special Concern listed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. This find illustrated a harvest that surely exceeded the allowable take for this species. The purpose of the project was to show that this type of exploitation still exists with Florida turtles and also to describe why this is not acceptable for healthy turtle populations.
Turtles require many years (10-20) to reach maturity and their whole reproductive strategy is to reproduce as much as possible for as long as possible. Many turtles live to be 50+ years of age. It is mostly the large females that are removed as food…larger turtle=more meat. So in effect, you are removing the most important breeders from the population and the population can crash. We compare demographic data from the dump site specimens to that of the most studied population in Rainbow River.
We also make recommendations in the paper for the FFWCC to consider as additional protection for Florida's turtles. At the time of the paper going to press, these recommendations and others were being implemented by the FFWCC due to other reasons. In July 2009 the FFWCC issued a final rule on freshwater turtle take that is the most restrictive and comprehensive conservation measure for freshwater turtles in the country."
Thanks for your work on this Tim. Hopefully, it will affect some change!

By Just a Leaf Organic Tea11 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Dec 2015
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.43 lbs (0.2 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Although it is rarely seen in North America outside of Latin American markets and restaurants, cassava—also spelled Cassava, and also known as manioc and yucca—is a staple of nearly 500 million people worldwide. The root of a woody shrub native to the Amazon basin, cassava is the third largest source of carbohydrate food in the world.* It is a popular replacement for potatoes in the countries where it is grown, a resilient root and grows well in arid or drought-ridden soils.

Social Media is an amazing phenomenon. We have access to our favorite athletes, companies, and famous personalities at the touch of a button. It is connecting people all over the world and sharing locations that most people would have never known existed. Snowboarders are the ideal people to follow on social media. They travel to amazing locations, meet incredible people, and do awesome things! Flow has compiled their list of 5 snowboarders to keep an eye out for in 2014.
Scotty Lago
Every cloud has a silver lining. Flow and the rest of the snowboarding world is bummed that we do not get to cheer on our favorite American at Sochi this year. However, everything happens for a reason and we believe that 2014 will be a great year for Scotty. Without the pressure of the Olympics, Scotty will now be able to travel and ride amazing backcountry locations. What does that mean for his social media followers? Amazing photos, videos, and content that we can spend hours watching, re-posting, and drooling over. Expect big things from Mr. Lago in 2014.

Tim Humphreys
Tim is one of the most up to date snowboarders in the world. With GoPro being one of his sponsors, Tim constantly has a camera on him at all time. He loves editing and posting clips from his sessions and we, as social media followers, get to reap the benefits. Tim's light-hearted approach to snowboarding and life is a breath of fresh air for social media followers. Tim is also very engaging with his followers on social media. Ask him a question, he'll respond.

Sarka Pancochova
Sarka is currently in Sochi and when she is not competing, she is riding Russia's pristine backcountry. Sarka is a very relaxed and happy girl, but when she puts on a contest jersey it is all business. Sarka is definitely a snowboarder to watch in 2014. Follow Sarka to see how she is doing in Sochi and with her travels in general.

Mike Basich
The term "Off the Grid" doesn't even begin to describe Mike. This guy is as rugged as they come. He lives and breathes backcountry adventure and has traveled to the most remote places in the world. Mike doesn't need much to survive. Give him a Flow setup, some food, and a GoPro and he delivers social media gold. Mike's latest venture is his "Stoked Storm Ready" project where he built a house on a flatbed trailer. He is currently traveling all over North America chasing storms and snow. Mike is definitely worth following on social media.

Hey guys! So firstly, i am sorry for being away for so long. Since my skin isn't getting any better(i mean red marks aren't going away) despite the fact i have been using this stuff over 14 weeks, i simply stopped using it a couple of days ago. I am not sure what else to write here... I decided to start doing OCM with castor and jojoba oil. I ordered both oils (cold pressed and organic) and until then i am only using my turmeric mask and my moisturizer.
I also decided to get some azeleic acid, since it saved my skin once already and i know i can count on it.
I am so sorry my attempt failed but this is life, not everyone benefits from the same thing. I guess i should keep looking.
Just to make this post less lame, i'll attach my pictures from week 13
Would you guys want to read about OCM when i start doing it? Why OCM? I started watching this girl on Youtube who had pretty severe acne and her acne cleared up when she started doing OCM(username cloudyapples). And her skin now is flawless!! I truly belive and understand why oil could work. I am already pretty obsessed with oils when it comes to my diet so i am ready to give it a try.
Do you think i made a mistake by stopping? I mean, i feel things wouldn't get any better...Maybe i am wrong? Putting this Isotrex on felt like putting on nothing for the last month. I don't know what went wrong, maybe it's the isotrex and the fact i left it open lots of times and it went off. But i really don't want to use it anymore.
I'll try to get azeleic acid ASAP and tell you about that.
Retin A will help with your marks over time. Since it cleared your acne, you should continue using it. I tried the OCM and my acne exploded - please reconsider. Retin A can sometimes take 6+ months and even longer to start fading marks so don't give up. The most important thing is to stop breaking out so your acne can heal

Arizona State University - Sun Devil Stadium, Frank Kush FieldThis panoramic photograph of Sun Devil Stadium, Frank Kush Field was taken by James Blakeway during a Sun Devil victory over in-state rival, the Arizona Wildcats, for the Territorial Cup. Sun Devil Stadium, constructed in 1958, is built between two mountain buttes and is considered one of the most beautiful collegiate stadiums in the nation. With an official capacity of 71,706, the natural turf stadium has hosted three national championships and the 1996 NFL Super Bowl. Frank Kush was the head coach of the Sun Devils for 21 years, and the field was named in his honor on September 21, 1996, just prior to the Sun Devils' victory over then #1 Nebraska, 19-0.

Fresh off his X-Games Gold medal win two weeks ago, Blazusiak was ready to throw a leg over his KTM 350 XC-F and claim another win. He started the day off great after turning the fastest hot lap time in the afternoon qualifier. He coupled that with a win in the first heat which gave him the first transfer spot to the main event. The second spot was given to FMF/KTM rider Mike Brown who finished 2nd in that same heat.
Blazusiak went on to continue his dominance when he nailed the holeshot in the main event and never looked back to cruise to an easy win. His teammate Brown battled around 3rd place through the majority of the race showing great speed in all sections with the exception of the fire pit. "I struggled in the fire pit and it cost me some time today. I feel like I could have easily been in the top three but every time I got back to that pit I took a bad line and allowed the guys to catch back up to me," remarked Brown. At the end of the ten lap main event Brown was able to hold on to finish 4th.
Next Event: Indianapolis, IN – August 26, 2011
Overall Results
1) Taddy Blazusiak – KTM
2) Geoff Aaron
3) Cody Webb
4) Mike Brown – KTM
5) Graham Jarvis
6) Colton Haaker – KTM
7) Kevin Rookstool – KTM
8) Justin Soule
9) Gary Sutherlin

Comments On Nov 04, 2013:I've used this stuff for decades, and it never lets me down. If you've got bolts that you don't want to corrode at the threads, wipe a little on. But remember, it's very messy stuff, and you don't need much. Wipe up any messes before it migrates everywhere. Mixing it 50/50 with grease can have it's benefits, too

May I ask "what was the FINAL total cost" for your Bernard cable/gun assembley?
Maybe I need an "invitation" too!Ref. your reply to fyoung. Rational:
On 16 Mar '06 you post:Free upgrade-----
On 20 Mar '06 you post "Just received it----with 10 consumables----
On 22 Mar '06 you post "Just called Bernard" that Gun is 395, I got to buy it-
Next question, If on 20 Mar '06 you "just received it" (free upgrade). Why did ya call Bernard on 22 Mar 06? an ultimately learned that the cost for you would be "395" ($3.95/$395.00)???
If ya are not trying to B/S the 'troops', please clearfy.
TIA. Al.

Confirmed: Anticancer Activity from Select Herbal Additives Found in Ancient Alcoholic Beverages
* * *
Penn Museum and Penn Medicine Research Collaboration Yields First Promising Evidence For Efficacy of Medicinal Compounds Once Employed by Our Ancestors
Photo captions:
The following three images were taken at the Abramson Cancer Center laboratory, part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System:
Team of researchers involved in the Archaeological Oncology ("Digging for Drug Discovery") Project, from left to right: Patrick E. McGovern, archaeochemist and ancient alcohol expert and head of the University of Pennsylvania Museum's Biomolecular Archaeology Laboratory; Melpo Christofidou-Solomidou, Research Associate Professor at the Pulmonary Allergy and Critical Care Division of the Department of Medicine, and an Abramson Cancer Center Investigator; and Floyd Dukes, Research Specialist, Christofidou-Lab.
Patrick McGovern and Melpo Christofidou-Solomidou examine a sherd from Jiahu (China), which provided evidence for the earliest alcoholic beverage in the world to date--ca. 7000 B.C. The compounds included potential medicinal additives.
Patrick McGovern observes as Melpo Christofidou-Solomidou demonstrates the colorimetric assay of compounds with anti-cancer effects. The compounds were identified in ancient fermented beverages using Biomolecular Archaeological techniques.
The following images feature artifacts/ancient Egyptian sites where residues from ancient herbal wines were tested by Dr. McGovern for medicinal properties, reported upon in the April 2009 edition of PNAS (106:18: 7361-7366).
Amphora containing wine residues laced with rosemary and pine resin, from tomb 217 of cemetery 4 at Gebel Adda (Egypt), dated to early Byzantine times (4th-early 6th c. AD). Ht. 67.3 cm. With permission of the Royal Ontario Museum © ROM; photograph courtesy of W. Pratt (museum no. 973.24.1217).
The inside of this wine vessel sherd contains a yellowish residue, the accumulation of organic materials from the upper surface of the wine that once filled the inside of jar no. 50 from the tomb (U-j) of Scorpion I at Abydos (Egypt), ca. 3150 B.C. (Hartung 2001: cat. no.156, pls. 58:and 94:156). The residue, forming a circle around the vessel's interior, is slanted off from the horizontal because the jar with its liquid was tilted in antiquity. Analyses showed that herbs including balm, coriander, mint, sage and many more were steeped in the wine, to which pine resin and fig were also added. Ht. of sherd 33.5 cm.

The wine, laced with pine resin, figs and herbs (including balm, coriander, mint, sage and many more), was a true medicinal elixir for the afterlife.

The following images come from Chinese excavations at Jiahu and Changzikou (Luyi county, Henan province). Dr. McGovern tested the contents of the Changzikou lidded jar, dated ca. 1050 B.C., and discovered a rice wine containing a range of medicinal compounds from Artemisia annua (wormwood), Artemisia annua (mugwort), China fir tree resin (Cunninghamia lanceolate (Lamb.), and/or a flower in the chrysanthemum family. The residues from the much older early Neolithic Jiahu jars have not yet been tested for any botanical additives, but represent the earliest alcoholic beverage yet discovered from anywhere in the world. It was a mixed beverage made from rice, hawthorn fruit and/or grape, and honey.,
Typical jars with high flaring necks and rims, which were well-suited for serving a fermented beverage. From Jiahu, Henan province, China, ca. 7000-6600 B.C. Dr. Patrick E. McGovern and his colleagues analyzed similar jar sherds and discovered that they contained a mixed fermented beverage of rice, honey, and fruit (hawthorn fruit and/or grape).

This lidded wine jar (Chinese you) was one of more than 90 bronze vessels associated with an elite burial in the Changzikou Tomb (Luyi county, Henan province). 52 lidded examples, including this one, were still a quarter- to half-full of liquid when the tomb was opened. Chemical analysis by Eric D. Butrym of Firmenich Corp. revealed that two aromatic compounds - camphor and alpha-cedrene - were present in the liquid, in addition to benzaldehyde, acetic acid, and short-chain alcohols characteristic of rice wine. Isotopic analysis by Michael P. Richards of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology confirmed that the beverage was most likely rice-based. A single open vat, filled with leaves of Osmanthus fragrans and holding a ladle, was also found in the tomb. Possibly, the fermented beverage in the lidded containers of the tomb was steeped in the leaves, which have a floral aroma like the flowers that are used today in flavoring teas and beverages, and then transferred to the vessels. The rice wine in the vessel would have been made by saccharifying the grain sugars with molds, a uniquely Chinese contribution to fermented beverage-making.

Step inside the Horseshoe...the only place
to be in Columbus on a Saturday in fall! This amazing panoramic print captures
the thrill and excitement of the pre-game festivities at pre-renovation
Ohio Stadium (circa 1998), as the packed house roars in unison to welcome
the Buckeyes onto the field for another Big 10 grudge match. As the cheerleading
squad waves the giant O-H-I-O flags in the foreground to the adoring red-clad
fanatics...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available
for your wall! Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's
Images series, every detail of the scene is in perfect focus, and as
you pan across the image you feel like you are actually there. You can
read the scoreboard, see the players running the gauntlet on the field,
see the cheerleaders, the marching band, and the massive assembly of student
body, alumni and boosters. If you've been to the Iris S. and Bert L.
Wolstein Football Center for a game, or even if you're an armchair
fan, you'll love this piece - just looking at it makes you feel like you're
there on gameday, cheering on the Buckeyes during one of their greatest
seasons ever. Worthy of a nice frame and a central location on your sports

Comments On May 17, 2015:The fabric looks and feels great but it was tough to get it stretched on the seat. The fabric came pre-cut with a sown top edge for the top of the seat but the overall length cut was tighter than I would have liked. Now the seat is done but there is a bubble in the middle which i cannot stretch out. If there were another inch in the fabric I think it would have installed with a little less stretch from top to bottom and I could have worked out the bubble. Otherwise the fabric is quite nice.

Comments On Dec 22, 2014:For the money you can't beat it. There are some reviews on here that say it can be hard to install, and it can, but that's not the covers fault. Most of us are not professional upholsterers. Your going to need a heat gun to warm it up if it's cold outside, and forget the hand stapler. You need a electric or air stapler. I will buy this product again for sure when i need another seat cover.

What is Vegan MoFo? Click here to find out!
A reader wrote to me last week and asked if it was possible to make a soy-free version of my vegan "turkey". So, I thought about it and told her I'd experiment and get back to her. I made a soy-free version, which we had for dinner last night, and it was great!
The "turkey" before roasting
The recipe will be in a new seitan book, probably 2012.
This roast slices beautifully!
Happy Halloween, BTW!

Thank you so much! Your meal post has got my stomach just a growling for food! Especially your food!

hate to pick on ya Bryanna - as someone who is allergic to soy (fermented is ok - tofu, soy sauce, tempeh) - that means all legumes. I can't touch chickpea flour - what would you sub for soy/chickpea flour?
- Sat Nov 01, 08:08:00 AM PDT
- jennconspiracy said...
...um, and the cannellini beans...
- Sat Nov 01, 08:09:00 AM PDT

jennconspiracy, I wasn't allowing for all allergies-- I was just going for the soy allergy problem, and my solutions work for anyone who is just allergic to soy and not other legumes, which is the majority of people with soy allergies. Being allergic to soy does NOT mean one is allergic to all legumes, and anyone who says so is misinformed.
Be that as it may, for legume subs in this recipe, all I can suggest is perhaps hemp flour for the chickpea flour.
The beans...hmmmm...perhaps a very thick "porridge" made from quinoa flour (which is high in protein), which is cooled until fairly solid, like polenta-- about 1 1/2 cups crumbled-- might work.
BTW, if you can eat fermented soy, you don't have a true soy allergy. This whole business about fermented soy being okay and non-fermented not okay is addressed here:
and it has nothing to do with allergies.
I recommend the book "The Food Allergy Survival Guide" by Vesanto Melina, Dina Aronson (both vegan registered dieticians), and Jo Stepaniak. It's on amazon and it contains recipes, too.
The authors explain the difference between an allergy and an intolerance and what you can do about it. There is much confusion about "allergies" these days. There are all sorts of books out there that scare you into thinking that you are "allergic" to this or that, when a true allergy is actually quite rare and can cause life-threatening problems.
More common are food intolerances, which can cause more minor problems. These can often be handled by a "rotation diet", where you eat the problematic foods only one day a week, or something like that. There are books on this type of diet, too.
You should be tested by a doctor before you make life totally difficult for yourself. Here is a definition by the British Allergy Foundation (there is also a good page about this by the UK Vegetarian Society here http://www.vegsoc.org/info/allergy.html:
"What Is The Difference Between Allergy, Intolerance And Sensitivity?
Although the word "Allergy" is commonly used to describe any unpleasant reaction to a drug, food, insect sting or chemical, this can be misleading. The word should only really be used to describe a reaction produced when the body meets a normally harmless substance, which has been "remembered" from a previous exposure and subsequently produces the "IgE" antibody.
"Sensitivity" is a reaction to a substance, which is an exaggeration of a normal side effect produced by that substance. For example, reliever inhalers used in asthma, if given at too high a dose in a particular individual may cause them to "shake".
"Intolerance" happens when unpleasant symptoms occur after eating a substance, which your body cannot handle because the digestive system does not produce sufficient quantities of a particular enzyme/chemical, which is needed to break down the food and aid digestion.
The causes of symptoms need to be correctly diagnosed so that the management and treatment for either allergy, sensitivity or intolerance can be appropriately taken."
You also have to be very careful not to believe everything you read or see on TV these days about foods that have sustained humans for thousands of years, such as soy and grains. Read my collection of reliable information about soy, for instance here: http://www.bryannaclarkgrogan.com/page/page/3476771.htm

Dang it! Blogger ate my reply. :(
I was diagnosed with SLE, JRA and ITP at 15 -- I had a lot of other issues that weren't directly attributed to those things, and problems I had with swallowing, food "repeating" and my throat feeling swollen were checked out with a barium xray and I was told it was all "okay" in the GI tract.
I spent the next 20 years taking 1000 mg/day of Naprosyn for arthritis and thinking, as I had my whole life, that it was normal to sort of throw up after eating - that food "repeated" as a matter of course. All this would have been resolved with food allergen testing or an elimination diet.
Three years ago, my sister did an elimination diet to see if that would help her lose weight. I was intrigued so followed her nutritionist's program. The result was astonishing - egg and dairy were clearly a problem for me (though I hadn't eaten much dairy for the previous 20 years, mostly cheese at the time of the diet, ice cream made me barf). I couldn't quite nail down other issues - and then had food allergy tests which confirmed that I was allergic to dairy, egg and soy.
What I have read notes that a high number of people with soy allergy are also allergic to legumes.
I cannot tolerate any soy protein or vegetable protein ingredients -- all processed soy food makes me barf, causes hives and joint inflammation.
Though I love legumes (my first cat's name was Ci-Ci Bean) - it always mystified me why I had so many problems eating them. I tried every method and supplement on the planet. I sprouted, soaked and slow cooked my beans til they were the most tender, scrumptious beans ever. I make the absolute best red beans and rice, white bean soup, lentil soup, black beans - you name it. When I lived in NOLA, my native NOLA friends were astonished that my beans were so good. I had friends say "I can never eat beans but your bean dishes never cause me any distress."
When I eat beans - I get nauseous, the food comes right back up my throat (gulp!), I get clammy, feverish, my stomach feels like it was filled with Quikrete and is dead silent, my energy plummets and no matter where I am or what I am doing, I have to go curl up in fetal position and sleep 3-6 hours. Then I spend the next 2-4 days feeling like I have the flu, dealing with diarrhea, nausea, and a very bad mood.
I've also read that introducing babies to soy or dairy at too young an age is correlated with increased risk of allergies or intolerances. As infants, my sister, brother and I were all "dairy reactive" but doctors didn't do much about it back then (breast milk was not entirely viewed with the same favor as it is now). I was on soy formula from 2 months old - I would throw up and then sleep for a very long time, but I guess that was preferred over being "colicky" when was given dairy formula (when I would throw up but stay awake and cry).
Per your essay in #11 - maybe there is something to the soy-homosexuality connection since I turned out queer (ha - just kidding! Can't blame soy for liking girls!)
- Sat Nov 01, 11:51:00 AM PDT
- Annie MG said...
wow, it looks so delicious. D:
instead of using soy/chickpea flour, can I use rice? I've had troubles finding them. :/
- Wed Nov 05, 10:52:00 PM PST
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
Annie, I don't think that's a good idea because it needs to be a high-protein flour. Are any types of bean flour available, or do you have a grain mill that can grind beans into flour? I understand that there are a couple of health food stores in Monterrey-- would they not be able to get either of those flours? An Indian grocery would have chickpea flour (called besan). here is a page with some info abiut Indian groceries in Monterrey:
- Thu Nov 06, 07:22:00 AM PST
- Annie MG said...
thanks! I did look in some local health-food chains; however, most of their products aren't vegan friendly.
so I'll try making mine if all else fails. (:
- Thu Nov 06, 01:46:00 PM PST
- jennconspiracy said...
You can order a 1.5 pound bag for under $4 or a $25 pound sack for %27 on the Bob's Red Mill website -- they also have many other kinds of flours from black beans, fava beans and all other sort of things.
- Thu Nov 06, 01:55:00 PM PST
- jennconspiracy said...
you updated the recipe with a note about legume-free... awwww! :)
- Thu Nov 06, 02:03:00 PM PST
- snugglebunny said...
I know that you are not really supposed to change the size of a seitan recipe, but is it possible to make this in a half batch. From looking at the ingredients, they do seem to be fairly even, so no odd splits would occur.
I would like to do this, but I have a kitchen the size of a bathroom in my small apartment and do not have a pan large enough to make the entire recipe, nor two smaller pans to make it in.
- Thu Nov 27, 07:29:00 PM PST
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
Snugglebunny, I'm sure it would work to halve the recipe. You can probably cut the cooking time down by about 30 minutes.
- Thu Nov 27, 09:02:00 PM PST
- snugglebunny said...
Now for question number 2. The only pan I have is a standard loaf pan that has no lid. Would covering it with aluminum foil do and is it to small?
- Fri Nov 28, 11:47:00 AM PST
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
snugglebunny, it sounds like you should use Cooking Method #2 in the recipe, with just one pan. It utilizes a foil-covered bread pan.
- Fri Nov 28, 02:23:00 PM PST
- The Burning Brain said...
Thanks for publishing the soy free version of this recipe, I'm a vegan since 3 years ago and now just discovered I'm allergic to soy. This recipe will be helpful to do some "turkey" slides for sandwiches, hehe.

New HVAC system is the first step toward building becoming LEED certified
Orlando Science Center will use operations to educate public on sustainable technology
Orlando, FL - May 6, 2010 - The Orlando Science Center has embarked on a major retrofit of its facility to increase its energy efficiency, decrease operational costs and help serve as a community leader in the use of sustainable technologies. Born out of a need for a new HVAC system and a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, the Science Center will be participating in a number of sustainability efforts in the months and years ahead.
The first step in this process was the recent installation of a new energy-efficient HVAC system, which is already providing cooler temperatures within the Orlando Science Center. Many partners contributed to the success of this effort, including Irvine Mechanical that helped select and install the new system, the City of Orlando and Orange County who assisted in securing federal stimulus dollars, and the Orange County Arts and Cultural Affairs Council, OUC - the Reliable One and Darden Environmental Trust for providing significant grants.
The new system has a high efficiency chiller plant on site, which uses chilled water throughout for cooling. This advanced variable flow system uses the latest technologies to provide superior reliability with the highest energy efficiencies, including the ability to instantly adjust to changing indoor environmental conditions. "Backstage" tours of the chiller plant will soon be available for guests to discover the science behind keeping them comfortable while also being eco-friendly.
"It is very important to us that these new enhancements serve an educational, as well as an operational, purpose," said JoAnn Newman, President and CEO of the Orlando Science Center. "We want to inform the public about sustainable technologies by showing their real world applications."
The Science Center plans to use their facility as a showcase for sustainable technologies, including energy efficient lighting, high efficiency cooling, smart building controls and solar technology. Educational experiences are being developed to engage the public in learning the science behind sustainability and its positive impact on the operations of the Science Center and the environment in general.
Another added benefit to the new HVAC installation was a complete roof replacement, which permanently repaired leaks caused by the previous system. In the near future, the Science Center will also add film treatments to all the building's glass windows. This window film will increase energy efficiency by blocking heat and radiation from the sun. There is also a plan to retrofit the building's lighting with more energy efficient systems.
The Science Center is pursuing U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for its facility. LEED is a certification program and nationally accepted benchmark for the operation of high performance eco-friendly buildings. It is expected that these enhancements will serve as the cornerstone for this certification due to the estimated reduction in energy consumption. Once it is secured, the Science Center will be one of only dozens of Central Florida buildings with this designation.
"The Science Center is a great place to engage people in hands-on exploration of science," said Newman, "but we can also be a strong community forum for how we can all use science and technology to make our world better."

Guest DJ: Local Natives
Listen to Local Natives' Guest DJ'd Station on iHeartRadio
Los Angeles-based indie rockers Local Natives teamed up with iHeartRadio to Guest DJ a radio station that represents them. Check out the band's top ten tracks below, as descibed by bandmembers Ryan Hahn and Kelcey Ayer, below.
Buy the Local Natives' album Hummingbird on iTunes
1. Anika, "No One's There
"We were in Melbourne, on tour in Australia, and we were browsing around, walking around, and we went into a record shop and this record was playing," Ryan Hahn tells iHeartRadio.
Kelcey Ayer adds, "The tones were really blowing us away. It sounded familiar, yet we've never heard it before, and every song we kept like nodding our heads like oh my god that bass line."
"I think when this song came on, it was kind of like the deal maker," Ryan says. "We went up to the counter and asked who it was and bought the record. One of those albums and songs that we've been listening to ever since."
2. King Krule, "Out Getting Ribs"
"I remember the first time hearing it, thinking this was a completely unique, original sound," Ryan says. "It's just such an amazing song. We actually have tried our hand at covering it a few times, so hopefully we haven't done a disservice to it. I just think he's awesome, and I think that song is amazing."
3. The Clash, "Corner Soul"
"The Clash is obviously one of those bands you grow up hearing," Ryan tells iHeartRadio. "It took me a while before I realized how many interesting genres in music they were bold enough to tackle. Especially with Sandinista, they covered a lot of ground, and they became one of my favorite bands. This song in particular has such a cool sound to it. Thinking where they came from, just as a straight up punk band experimenting with dub and reggae and stuff and bringing all of these different sounds into the fold is kind of inspiring."
4. David Bowie, "Teenage Wildlife"
"David Bowie is probably one of my favorite artists of all time. This is from Scary Monsters – it's like 1980 or something, before he did the Let's Dance stuff but right after all the stuff he did in Berlin. It's a song over the past year I've just been playing over and over and over."
5. Grinderman, "No Pussy Blues"
"We saw them at Coachella, and I swear to god it was like the best thing I've seen all year," Ryan says. "He literally spent the whole set running around, swinging his guitar around, and standing on the barricade between the audience and singing into people's faces covered in sweat... They were so amazing, so it just kind of stuck with me. I think this song kind of represents you know what they do."
"It's just amazing to see even at that age, to be just so such a bad ass," Kelcey adds.
6. Wild Beasts, "Two Dancers"
"I feel like they're probably like our band's favorite modern band," Ryan says. "We met them our first time we played SXSW in 2009. They came up to us at one of our shows and introduced themselves. They said they were from Leeds, and we didn't know where that was (laughs). We were just like, 'Oh cool,' and we checked their music out when we got back and we were just blown away. [We've] been able to have become friends and cross paths a few times over the course of a few years, and I just think they continue to make amazing records and we're all just such big fans."
"Kelcey adds, "Their latest one Smother is one of my favorites from the past couple years I've been spinning that like crazy. "
7. Orange Juice, "Rip It Up"
"The main dude from this band - Edwin Collins I think is his name -the only thing I knew about him was that song 'Girl Like You.' It was this huge song in the '90s or something, and I kind of worked backwards. Maybe I was late to the party, but I'd never heard of Orange Juice, and I checked it out and I've since become kind of obsessed with that band. This song in particular, it's got a great music video too. Pretty '80s - jamming out, having a good time in an '80s looking room."
8. The Beach Boys, "Girl Don't Tell Me"
"I put this one on there because we're all big Beach Boys fans. They definitely have more experimental songs, but this one is one where there's no harmonies, there's no real interesting production, it's just very straight ahead, but it's such a good song. Somebody told me that they - or maybe I read this somewhere - that they wrote it for The Beatles during Rubber Soul era or something like that... It's just a song that I've kind of grown up around. My parents listened to the Beach Boys and I listen to them on family road trips and stuff and that was always one of my favorite songs."
9. Kurt Vile, "Shame Chamber"
"He's one of those artists I feel like all of his albums you can just listen to front to back. You just put it on, and it's so cohesive, and you can tell he really puts the time into crafting all the sounds. I had a hard time choosing a specific song, but this is kind one I've been listening to a lot lately. It's from his new record and we're all big fans of his, so we've got to see him play a few times this year."
10. Leonard Cohen, "Avalanche"
"We just went into a crazy Leonard Cohen phase when we were making our second record. [We] listened to him pretty nonstop, and this is probably the song I listen to the most. It's just so powerful, just him and guitar, doing his little flamenco fast finger picking. So haunting and so dark and yet it's just so simple... It's one of my favorite songs."

Meet Yorky, New York-based designer Hlynur Atlason's first design for Artecnica. With a pup-inspired silicone body ideal for the playroom, this bright lamp is just begging to do tricks. Though it stands on two cute feet (er, paws?), Yorky is just as comfortable on its side or even perched against the wall—depending on where you want its light to shine.

I just received the Seattle Space Needle from the Architecture series. There are tubes that the builder is required to cut to a certain length for the model. This is the first time I've encountered tubes in a LEGO model. Are the tubes made only one size making it normal to have to cut them to use them? I was wondering why the tubes were not manufactured to the correct size instead of having the builder cut them.

This happens in Technic models as well, at least for pneumatics tubes. I would tend to assume it's a simple production issue or simplification - as this requires less work from LEGO.
That way, they only need one length of tube per model, instead of having one part ID for each of length of tube. Considering LEGO wants to control its number of elements currently in production (it's not infinite), this makes sense.

Cowboy's Back In Town
Preview tracks
by Trace Adkins
Released: Aug 2010
Label: Show Dog Universal Music
The big lug's been on a roll since 2008's X, his eighth and strongest album. And he keeps getting better at big-bam-boom butt-rock, with near-metal riffs to shake honky-tonking badonkadonks: barn-sex stomp "Brown Chicken Brown Cow," Crimson Tide shout-along "Ala-Freakin-Bama," mean fisticuff warning "Whoop a Man's Ass." He also shows perfect comic timing with "Hold My Beer" (about gettin' hitched) and "Hell, I Can Do That" (about bein' a couch potato). And if the album's middle gets a bit bogged down in lovey-dovey slow jams, Trace's soul-and-western baritone keeps things manly regardless.
