I get that it makes you feel better to know that the Jets wouldn't have made the playoffs anyways, but the fact is, Miami is the one who knocked them out since their game ended before any of the other games did.

Your stupid argument about "pressure" is bull****. Always has been and it always will. Everyone who plays in the NFL is under pressure, period. You mess up? You're cut. You're out of a job. Don't sit here and act like some teams, just because they are out of the playoff hunt, have no pressure. They have even MORE pressure because every single one of those men is on the chopping block after the season ends. Don't sit here and act like that isn't pressure, because you know damn well that it is. The only reason you're going to spin here is because you know if you admit I'm right, and you know I am, it negates your argument with everyone about why a mediocre QB and a mediocre team has been "elite". What a joke...
Miami didn't knock us out from anything, the Giant loss crushed us and ended our season. If we beat Miami we still don't make the playofs but success in Miami is beating the Jets so congrats!
Congrats on your great D, what a job. When they helped you get to 0-7 they were awful but man did they turn it on for the incredibly important stretch drive. Congrats on having such a great defense, a D so great they changed the scheme.
The Jets season wasn't over after the Giants game. They still had a very realistic shot at the playoffs. They had no shot after the Miami game. It didn't matter how any of the other games turned out since Miami already eliminated them. It turned out that they would have been eliminated by another team anyways, but Miami knocked them out first. Had the Tenn / Hou game ended before the Dolphins / Jets, I would say that Tenn knocked them out. But that is not how it went down.
If the Jets beat Miami would we have made the playoffs?
Had Houston converted the 2 point conversion at the end of their game, would the Jets have made the playoffs? I know it makes you feel better to know that the Jets wouldn't have made it anyways (since Houston lost by 1 point), but the fact is, it didn't matter how that game turned out becasue Miami eliminated them first. That is a fact that can not be disputed.
You keep repeating the same thing which doesn't change reality. It doesn't matter how the Tenn / Houston game turned out. Miami had already eliminated the Jets.
'98 clinched 2 seed in week 16
'01 win and in week 17
'02 needed win and Mia or Cle loss- Mia lost.
'04 didn't even need to win week 17
'06 win and in week 17
'09 win and in week 17
'10 clinched in week 16
The Jets were a dead team just like '08 and just like '08 if we beat Miami in week 17 we weren't going to the playoffs.
Again, I was not just talking about going into the final week of the season. They needed help in 09 like they needed help a few other times. Regardless, the Jets did need help the final week of the season in 02 as well as 04. The 04 Jets only made it becasue Buff lost to Pitt the final week of the season.
You are not dead until you are eliminated. The 08 Jets were not eliminated until they either lost to the Dolphins, or Bal beat Jax. I don't know which happened first, so I'm not sure if Miami was the one who eliminated them in 08, or if it was the Ravens. I do know that the Dolphins game ended before Tenn / Hou, so Miami eliminated the Jets before Tenn did in 2011.

Lara Stone has that unmissable gap. Adriana Lima's got to-die-for dimples. Lindsey Wixson's lips won't quit. We're all for supermodels with signature features, and perhaps the most unmissable (and enviable) of all is Coco Rocha and her sharp-enough-to-cut-yourself cheekbones. And the Vogue cover girl's style is just as razor sharp. To get you in the mood to add some fierce (hey, she was just on ANTM!) to your holiday wardrobe, we hit up Coco to pose in four oh-so-runway outfits. She obliged happily in looks that have all the studs, chains, leather, and shearling booties you could possibly need. Inside her Gramercy Park apartment, the Canadian import—who effortlessly mixed H&M and rag & bone—sat down with us for a frank and funny chat that covered everything from budget buys and bold lips to her brand-new jewelry line (wait 'til you see that bracelet). "If you're the first one to call yourself a supermodel, you're not!," says Coco. And guess what? She wasn't.

Farm Bill
/ Conservation Stewardship Program - Payment for Performance
Loading Tree...
This interim rule with request for comment amended the CSP to incorporate changes as authorized by amendments in the Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014 Act). The public comment period was originally planned for January 5, but was extended to January 20, 2015.
To view public comments, use the following link: http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketBrowser;rpp=25;po=0;dct=PS;D=NRCS-2014-0008
A summary of the changes is on the NRCS Farm Bill website.
See the Civil Rights Impact and Regulatory Impact Analyses on this page.
The Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) presents a significant shift in how the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides conservation program payments. CSP participants will receive an annual land use payment for operation-level environmental benefits they produce. Under CSP, participants are paid for conservation performance: the higher the operational performance, the higher their payment.
CSP is a voluntary conservation program that encourages producers to address resource concerns in a comprehensive manner by:
CSP is available on Tribal and private agricultural lands and non-industrial private forest land in all 50 States and the Caribbean and Pacific Islands Areas. The program provides equitable access to all producers, regardless of operation size, crops produced, or geographic location. The Secretary of Agriculture has delegated administrative authority for CSP to the NRCS Chief.
CSP encourages land stewards to improve their conservation performance by installing and adopting additional activities, and improving, maintaining, and managing existing activities on agricultural land and nonindustrial private forest land. NRCS accepts applications for CSP at local service centers, Nationwide, on a continuous basis.
The State Conservationist, in consultation with the State Technical Committee and local work groups, will focus program impacts on natural resources that are of specific concern for a State, or specific geographic areas within a State. Applications will be evaluated relative to other applications addressing similar priority resource concerns to facilitate a competitive ranking process among applicants within a State who face similar resource challenges.
The entire operation must be enrolled and must include all eligible land operated substantially separate that will be under the applicant's control for the term of the proposed contract.
CSP offers participants two possible types of payments:
Through CSP, NRCS will provide financial and technical assistance to eligible producers to conserve and enhance soil, water, air, and related natural resources on their land.
You can play a large role in determining whether or not CSP is right for you. Here's how:
Download and fill out the 2015 Conservation Stewardship Self-Screening Checklist (PDF, 178KB)
You don't have to turn it in to NRCS; it's there to help you determine for CSP is right for you. If you have questions regarding the Checklist, please contact your local NRCS office.
The 2014 CSP program fact sheet created for the 2014 Farm Bill is available for download and printing (PDF, 618KB).
Conservation Program Application NRCS-CPA-1200 (PDF, 104KB)
"Enhancement" means a type of conservation activity used to treat natural resources and improve conservation performance. Enhancements are installed at a level of management intensity that exceeds the sustainable level for a given resource concern, and those directly related to a practice standard are applied in a manner that exceeds the minimum treatment requirements of the standard.

The 2015 Payment for Performance payment rates are available as HTML or and as a PDF download (PDF, 245KB).
2015 Activity List (PDF, 112KB)
To initiate the use of the Conservation Measurement Tool (CMT) during the CSP application process, you'll work with NRCS field personnel to define your Operation Baseline Data. The CMT will use this data, in part, to determine the conservation performance for existing and additional conservation activities.
The documents below are copies of the Operation Baseline Data questions, grouped by land use. You can download and review the questions, and begin drafting responses to start the process before you meet with NRCS staff.
As part of the CSP application process, you'll work with NRCS field personnel to complete your resource inventory using a Conservation Measurement Tool (CMT). The CMT determines the conservation performance for existing and additional conservation activities.
The documents below are copies of the resource inventory questions, grouped by land use. You can download and review the questions, and begin drafting responses to start resource inventory process before you complete the CMT in your local NRCS office.
NRCS will use the CMT to evaluate CSP applications through a point-based system to estimate environmental benefits. The CMT evaluates existing and proposed new activities to calculate conservation performance points which will be used for ranking and payment purposes.
Conservation performance points are programmed in the CMT, along with all controls, filters, and calculations. A scientific validation of CMT is underway and future modifications to these points may be needed.
The 2008 Farm Bill recognized the growing interest and support of organic agriculture across the country and required the development of a transparent means by which producers may initiate organic certification while participating in a CSP contract. "The Conservation Stewardship Program's Contribution to Organic Transitioning - The Organic Crosswalk", provides an explanation of how CSP enhancements can be used to assist producers in meeting individual National Organic Program (NOP) rules while going through the transitioning period.

Cincy isn't anything Special, Colts were over acheivers and Baltimore seems to be a team of destiny this year but they are losing some key players on an already aging Defense... I'm not saying we are as good as them (except for maybe Cincy) but, I will say we are closer then to them (Colts and Baltimore) you think.
currently the 19th ranked competitive eater in the world
But what about Jim Turner? Jake Long had the worst year he's had as a pro even before he got hurt. Jon Martin was a weakness the whole year and didn't progress. Did we really get anything out of Mike Pouncey that we weren't already expecting, or John Jerry or Richie Incognito for that matter?
What about the WRs Coach? Brian Hartline had a great year but Davone Bess only had an average year for him and everyone else was absolute garbage. How does Legedu Naanee stay a starter under this guy for as long as he did? And it should be noted that Brian Hartline missed practically the entire off season and training camp, so that would cast a little bit of a shadow on the idea that our WRs Coach's coaching and development of Hartline led him to this success.
What about the TEs Coach? Anthony Fasano had a below average year for him, Charles Clay never took the next step, and Michael Egnew was buried. Why should we assume the 1st year tight ends coach who said Pat Devlin is the next Tony Romo, is actually good at his job?
What about the QBs Coach?

As White House and congressional negotiators continued to try to work out a deal on fiscal 2011 spending Tuesday, the Office of Personnel Management issued guidance late in the day about the impact of what it termed a "temporary lapse in appropriations" on federal employees.
"Employees whose salaries are funded through annual appropriations will not be able to work and will be furloughed, unless their duties qualify under the law as "excepted" to continue to work during periods of lapsed appropriations," the guidance said. "During a shutdown, non-excepted employees are not permitted to work as unpaid volunteers for the government. Any paid leave (annual, sick, court, etc.) approved for use during the furlough period must be cancelled. An excepted employee who is absent from duty during the shutdown must be furloughed during such an absence."
The guidance also included additional details, in Q&A format:
Q: What is a furlough?
A: A furlough is the placing of an employee in a temporary nonduty, nonpay status because of lack of work or funds, or other nondisciplinary reasons.
Q: What is a shutdown furlough and why is a shutdown furlough necessary?
A: In the event that funds are not available through an appropriations law or continuing resolution, a "shutdown" furlough occurs. A shutdown furlough is necessary when an agency no longer has the necessary funds to operate and must shut down those activities which are not expected pursuant to the Antideficiency Act.
Q: Who are Excepted Employees?
A: In the context of shutdown furloughs, the term "excepted employees" is used to refer to employees who are funded through annual appropriations who are nonetheless excepted from the furlough because they are performing work that, by law, may continue to be performed during a lapse in appropriations. "Excepted employees" include employees who are (1) performing emergency work involving the safety of human life or the protection of property, (2) performing minimal activities as necessary to execute an orderly suspension of agency operations related to non-excepted activities, or (3) performing certain other types of excepted work. Agency legal counsels, working with senior agency managers, are determining which employees are designated to be handling "excepted" and "non-excepted" functions.
Other employees are "exempt" from furlough because they are not affected by a lapse in appropriations. This includes employees who are not funded by annually appropriated funds. It also includes those Presidential appointees who are not subject to a Federal employee leave system-i.e., who are entitled to an annual salary without consideration of the hours of duty required and thus cannot be placed in nonduty/nonpay status. (NOTE: Non-career SES and Schedule C employees do not fall into this category.)
All other employees funded through annual appropriations are not able to work during a "shutdown" and will be furloughed.
Q: How will employees be notified whether they have been designated to be handling "excepted" or "non-excepted" functions?
A: Each Agency will communicate with its employees regarding the method and timing of notification of whether they have been designated as an excepted or non-excepted employee.
Q: Are all employees who qualify as "emergency employees" for the purpose of weather emergencies considered to be "excepted employees" for the purpose of a shutdown furlough?
A: Not necessarily. "Emergency employees" are those employees who must report for work in emergency situations-e.g., severe weather conditions, air pollution, power failures, interruption of public transportation, and other situations in which significant numbers of employees are prevented from reporting for work or which require agencies to close all or part of their activities. Emergency employees are not automatically deemed excepted employees for purposes of shutdown furloughs. Each agency must determine which employees are excepted employees.
Questions regarding working during a furlough:
Q: May an employee volunteer to do his or her job on a non-pay basis during a shutdown furlough?
A: No. Unless otherwise authorized by law, an agency may not accept the voluntary services of an employee. (See 31 U.S.C. 1342.)
Q: May employees take other jobs while on furlough?
A: While on furlough, an individual remains an employee of the Federal Government. Therefore, executive branch-wide standards of ethical conduct and rules regarding outside employment continue to apply when an individual is furloughed (specifically, the executive branch-wide standards of ethical conduct (the standards), at 5 CFR part 2635). In addition, there are specific statutes which prohibit certain outside activities, and agency-specific supplemental rules that require prior approval of, and sometimes prohibit, outside employment. Therefore, before engaging in outside employment, employees should review these regulations and then consult their agency ethics official to learn if there are any agency-specific supplemental rules governing the employee.

Midwest Living Review
Less than a mile from the North Shore Scenic Drive and tucked into Minnesota's Sawtooth Mountains, the mountain tram at Lutsen Mountains ski resort boasts the most stunning way to soak in summer views, fall colors or the fantastic ski runs. The tram was obviously designed for skiers and boarders, but even nonskiers should grab the chance to ride, especially in the winter. The lake still glitters, the river still flows, and the carpet of white snow and deep green forest provide another beautiful view of Minnesota's North Shore. The tram begins near the resort's ski shop. The red cars dip close enough to the Poplar River that you can hear it burbling through the open windows, then it makes the climb toward Moose Mountain and the final steep ascent. And once you get to the top, you'll want to stay for a while. Moose Mountain's main attraction, the Summit Chalet, is wrapped with a generous deck that boasts one of the North Shore's best views of Lake Superior. Linger outdoors, or step indoors to enjoy the soothing wall fountain, warm fireplace and generous windows. Inside is also where you'll find the Summit Cafe. It may be cafeteria-style food (grab a tray and order at the window), but the view makes it feel special. Menu items include chili, soup, sandwiches, coffee, tea and even a cold beer. Our favorite: A BBQ chicken sandwich that's so tender it falls apart. Spring through fall, visitors can take a short stroll to an observation deck with sweeping views of Magic Mountain. There's an adventurous looped trail around the rest of Moose Mountain that cuts between thick-rooted conifers and boulders before circling back. When you're ready to go, you get a return trip down the mountain in the wonderful red cars. Tram rides are $7.50 for children 7 to 12, $9.50 for seniors, $11.50 adults, and free for ages 6 and under.

This conversation is closed.
What a painting "means" is useless and has likely always been so.
The new freedom will be to own our own experience of what is being viewed. The notion that anyone can "know" what the artist intended is preposterous. All the knowledge in the world about what was in the artist's mind can never get you inside the artists head.
My own paintings have never been about what I had to say or what I was trying to communicate---they have always been about the viewer having their own experience---whatever that might be---and owning that experience.
Linda Taylor
Dec 4 2012: Ok Charles. I actually agree with Daryl but you have to keep quiet about some of this stuff. It's the story that sells the painting. Very few people actually acquire the product of art because it appeals to them. They get it because it is trendy or because of the story.
- +1
Others assign meaning where there is none. I remember a visit to an art museum where the art "instructor" talked about this painting of a monk. He appeared to be floating and he had his hands behind his back. The instructor went on and on about how the hands behind the back meant that the monk had the hand of God yada yada and how the appearance of floating signified closeness to God yada yada.
Well I took a look at the painting and realized the reason the monk had his hands behind the back was because the artist could not get the hands right. You could see where he tried a couple times and then just gave up, painted over and put the hands behind the back. Musta had a deadline or something. Again with the floating. You could see where the artist screwed up the depth perception and gave up. It was a technical issue but the instructor assigned all kinds of ethereal meanings to it as did probably the textbook she got it from.
And the textbook she got it from probably records the artist selling the painting to the monk or church that bought it originally. I could see him selling it that way...
But please, we create what we like and we sell it with story. Shhhh.
Dec 4 2012: Linda, you are so right. Sorry for speaking out :) It is certainly a case of "follow the money." Lots of jobs and money revolve around their being significant stories around any piece of art---even if the stories have to be total fabrication and hyperbole :) I will attempt to speak more quietly :)
Dec 11 2012: You shouldn't speak more quietly, for this is an interesting take on art. What Linda says is true: Paintings sell with story. Each individual has his/her own personal story that he/she associates with a painting. What sells the painting is the story that the individual has created in analyzing a piece. But Charles has a very good point: We will never know what the artist was actually thinking when he painted a piece of work. But that's what makes art meaningful - the stories that people take away with the experience of seeing the art. People are imaginative creatures, and that is why art appeals: People create stories based on what they see.

Dec 8 2012: Carolyn, your experience of my paintings would just be your own experience---how could I have a problem with that :) Art lives on long after we die and people still have experiences with it---the presence or opinion of the artist certainly does not matter then and most likely does not really matter now. Could my feelings be hurt? Possibly but that has more to do with me than the viewer and is not what we are talking about. If you want to see what my work is like you can easily find it by googling my name + "art." Art, like love, just is---as soon as we give it reasons it ends.Dec 9 2012: Oh why make it difficult :)

Dec 8 2012: :) Tilting at windmills is an allusion to Don Quixote and fighting impossible fights against impossible odds. Tangents are fine by me.
Comment deleted
Dec 8 2012: I am not really sure who calls the shots about what art means---I do think that I am totally capable of having my own experience of anything independent of whether I have been informed about it---told a story about it. It may be a different "kind" of experience but no less valuable. The notion that some would have me believe that my experience is necessarily diminished by lack of "information" is what I find objectionable and exclusionary---possibly even elitist. I am accustomed to tilting at windmills :)
Comment deleted
Dec 7 2012: Quite the contrary, I think the general point of view about art is very limiting for the viewer---I am merely adding to it---expanding the possibilities. The viewer today can be literally hamstrung by assuming it is their lack of "knowledge" that is preventing them from having a real experience with art. Even artists can be considered co-conspirators in this issue---or at least co-dependent :)Dec 7 2012: Allow me to quote Jacques Maritain as a different perspective on the idea of artists expressing a meaning in their paintings: QUOTE: "However skillful an artist may be, and however perfect his technique, if he unhappily has nothing to tell us, his work is valuless." Do you find any value in his statement?
Dec 7 2012: I find this statement unequivocally absurd. His statement sounds like it has more to do with job security than the possibilities of art.
Dec 7 2012: I see you are not intimidated by Maritane's reputation as a powerful and influential philosopher and thinker. I expected, and respect, your response based on your clear statement of the meaning, or lack thereof, contained in your paintings. Do you think it is inconsistent that the artist could be expressing a personal thought, truth, or emotion, and, at the same time, offering the viewer an opportunity to "have their own experience"?
P.S.-- Is your work currently exhibited in the Oxford Gallery online?
Dec 7 2012: Edward, that is pretty much exactly how I see it---if I am reading you correctly :) As to Mairtane---"important" people are wrong all the time :)

Dec 7 2012: I don't think this is an unpopular view at all. It is one of a number of widely held views, I think.Dec 7 2012: Again, my premise isn't really about what the artist is trying to do---it is about the viewer. What is necessary for the viewer to be the viewer? What I am trying to get at is that "nothing" is "necessary." For example, we do not need to be taught anything or learn anything to appreciate a sunset. While it might be interesting to know that it is red because some volcano went off somewhere, the appreciation does not require that knowledge. Some may argue that the sunset is not art---painting the sunset is art. I would only say that there can be art that is "like" the sunset---art without "intent."
Dec 7 2012: It is clearly true that people can enjoy an artist's work without somehow understanding the artist's intent. We respond to colors and balance and so forth without any mediating understandings. Babies love stark contrasts and face-like features. People typically are attracted to things that are shiny. Those are the responses in the first second, that come from the earliest parts of the brain.
Dec 7 2012: Yes--exactlyDec 4 2012: Though I can't say I fully understand your point in this discussion I can, as an artist, speak to what has been commented as a result………firstly I have always been intrigued by the misinterpretation of the meaning of the word "art".
Art is a verb…….a process…….a discipline………not noun, not an object. The result of art, an artifact, is a painting, a sculpture, poem, song……...a work of……...and as it relates to the observer, a feeling. The "story" is a tandem effort by both artist and observer, but the artist's intent is to induce and share a feeling.
Dec 4 2012: I wish we could get the dictionaries to agree with your definition of art. I would have to argue that it "can" be the artists intent to "induce and share a feeling." All of that is not really what I am interested in this conversation. It is the viewer/observer. What do they bring to the "looking." Can they have a creative experience of their own with the piece or do they require the back story for it to have a relationship with the piece. There is nothing "wrong" with that if they do---I am just not interested in that approach for myself---and I think others might like that also.Dec 4 2012: I guess then what you're trying to communicate is that you don't care about what you have to communicate, which is a kind of communication. Kind of like not making a decision is also a decision.
Dec 4 2012: That sounds about right :)Dec 3 2012: IMO, Guernica by Pablo Picasso thoroughly destroys your idea.
Dec 4 2012: How so?
Dec 4 2012: My whole point is that the painting answers your question..
Dec 4 2012: Barry, I am sorry---I still don't "get it"----do I have to be a fan of Picasso to get your meaning?Dec 3 2012: A painting is an artistic expression; not like a song, not like a novel, not like a film, not like sculpture; but certainly an expression.
Saying that it means something is a subjective statement, but the painter is communicating.
Art is like life. Sometimes it seems to have a meaning, sometimes it seems to make no sense, sometimes we find answers even without knowing the question, sometimes we reject the begging questions and ask something else.
Dec 4 2012: I think this is pretty much what I am saying too.Dec 3 2012: Debateable. I mean art itself has a meaning. Sometimes the artist has a meaning or story that they're trying to convey, sometimes the audience thrusts the meaning onto the work. Just because you might not operate from having a personal meaning within your art, not all artists operate in the same way. Some do have a personal agenda about their work whether it is condemning something within society, calling out for help with something or any number of other things. They don't shut out audience interpretation and experience, but they also have their own thing to say.
Dec 4 2012: And that is fine---what the artist has to say is still not as important as the viewer's own very personal experience of the piece---in my opinion.
Lejan .
Dec 3 2012: 'The new freedom will be to own our own experience of what is being viewed.'
- 0
I did not know that this sort of freedom is new. I always took it. Instinctively.
Whenever an artist sets out to transport a clear meaning he/she should either choose pictograms or start writing.
There are not many ways of communication known to me which are as unpredictable as art is and this on both, intellectual and emotional levels.
Dec 4 2012: I think it is very much new to many viewers.
Lejan .
Dec 4 2012: Actually, I am not that certain. All of the 'regular people' I know are pretty clear on art. They either like it or don't know what to do with it and they are able to speak their minds openly. This to me is to own ones experience.
- 0
Then I came to meet a different type of people, way less in numbers and often found at auctions or vernissages. Those people are easy influenced by the view of others. They 'beat about the bush' when asked the simple question of like or dislike, as if there where a trillion of aspects to be considered to be clear on a statement.
For those people I agree with you, and if they would take this freedom it certainly was new to them.Dec 3 2012: Charles, on the contrary ,I feel that what a painting "means" is useful . The meaning/story might not be the same as the artist's ..but can be my own imagination or fantasy. How can we appreciate a painting without deciphering it?
Dec 4 2012: This is actually closer to what I am saying. Your own experience of the piece is really all there ultimately is---all the stuff that is added may just be a distraction from a true experience of the piece.Dec 3 2012: In the written word the writer is almost always conveying some sort of "message" aren't they? This is not necessary the case with painting. Painters have attempted to "communicate" something in paintings----I am just not sure how necessary this is to art today.
Dec 3 2012: Perhaps you have moved from "useless" to "not necessary?" There is art that is purely self expression with the audience incidental. There is art that is about engagement in the form of questioning or conveying a message. And there is art made for audience or to manipulate audience or to appeal to market. Why narrow the range of artistic options?
Dec 4 2012: I guess I would say "ultimately" useless and unnecessary. When everything is stripped away and all there is is the viewer and the viewed---all that matters is the viewer's experience.
Dec 4 2012: Can the viewer's experience be enhanced by considering the context?Dec 4 2012: Of course---I am only saying it is not "necessary" and can often interfere.Dec 3 2012: Would you say that the same is true of the written word- that there is no value for the reader in asking what the writer meant by his choices of words and images?
Gail .
Dec 3 2012: The question of what a paining "means" is a relatively recent development in the field of art. It came about with the development of "modern painting". I'm not a fan
- 0
Dec 3 2012: TED Lover---yes, people don't want to be responsible for having their own experience of the piece so they fill the emptiness with an elaborate "story."
Gail .
Dec 3 2012: Rather a cruel and arrogant statement, don't' you think? It isn't that I don't want to be responsible for my own experience when I see a piece of modern art. It's that I don't want to waste my time looking for anything to appreciate, so I walk blithely by without stopping - thus CLAIMING responsibility for my own LIFE experience.
- +2
Dec 3 2012: I am not saying your experience has to "look" like anything---one's experience is simply one's experience---no different than taking in a sunset.

Description: Pull-ups or Assisted Pull-ups
Frequency: 3 non-consecutive days per week (Mon-Wed-Fri or Tues-Thurs-Sat)
Day 1: Maximum Sets
Do as many pull-ups as you are capable of doing. If you are unable to meet the minimum requirements (5 pull-ups for males; 1 pull-up for females), follow the instructions as indicated on the video for Band-Assisted Pull-ups.
Progression Sets: 3 sets for Weeks 1-4; 4 sets for Weeks 5-8; 5 sets for Weeks 9 & 10 Remember to -- add 10 seconds of rest to each additional set completed.
As you get stronger the number of repetitions that you can complete should increase.
Day 2: Pyramid Sets
Progression Sets: When you are able to complete the above sequence add 1 pull-up to each set – for a total of 5 sets. For example, the next progression would be:
*Add 15 seconds of recovery for each additional repetition
The next progression would be:
Continue to add one repetition, and 15 seconds of recovery for each new progression. Each progression has a total of 5 sets.Day 3: Complete Sets
Perform working-sets (same number of repetitions) with a 60-90 second rest between sets. Working sets are indicated below. For example, if the maximum number of pull-ups you can perform is 10 – your working-set is 5 repetitions.
Maximum Reps Working-Set Reps
Progression Sets: Perform as many sets as you can, maintaining your working-set repetition. Do as many sets as you can for the number of repetitions determined as your working-set. For example, say you can do two sets of 5 repetitions, and on your third set you only complete 3 repetitions. Continue to do only three sets, until you get to a point when you get ALL three sets of 5 repetitions. Once you are able to get all three sets progress to four sets.
Periodically, you will need to test yourself to determine if your maximum repetitions have increased. If so, you will need to determine a new working set.

Women Salwars are loose pajama-like trousers that are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. They either have some elastic or a drawstring (nada) attached that helps in tying the salwar on the waist for a perfect fit. The kameez is a long knee-length like shirt with a western-style collar, similar to a kurti or a tunic, and has side seams left open from below the waist-line. Most kameez have full sleeves, while some modern-day ones have sleeves that vary in their lengths.
The salwar-kameez is one extremely comfortable attire giving complete freedom of movement to the wearer. This outfit can be worn both on casual days as well as on occasions. Casual Salwar-Kameez is made of cotton and has a simple cut and design. Designer Salwar Kameez has a heavier look and is made of premium quality fabric. Based on the color and fabric used to design the salwar-kameez, and also based on the level of embroidery and decoration, this ethnic outfit can be used as a formal, casual, or dressy-wear depending on the occasion. Based on the type and quality of fabric used, these can also be stitched to suit all weather climates and conditions.
At Nihal Fashions, we offer to you numerous types of Salwar Kameez that are studded with gems, sequins, embroidery, and zari work, and are available in an array of colors that can be worn on any occasion. These types include Casual Salwar-Kameez, Party-Wear Salwar-Kameez, Traditional Salwar-Kameez, and Designer Salwar-Kameez.

Those who have experienced Sisel KAFFÉ agree that when it comes to coffee, no other brand matches it in aroma, flavor, and health benefits. From our smooth traditional black roast to our luxurious latté, Sisel KAFFÉ has a blend to satisfy each of your unique cravings.
Did you know there are more than two billion cups of coffee consumed worldwide every day? Large companies have taken notice of the enormous profit potential and have made coffee a focus by selling it at a premium.
With so many coffee lovers around the world, opportunities abound for those who want to benefit from this lucrative industry. Sisel KAFFÉ makes it easy to tap into the coffee market by letting you start your own distribution business sharing the best-tasting 'healthy' coffee with your friends and family.
As you share Sisel KAFFÉ and build your distributor team, you will earn a residual income to potentially replace your current pay check. Take this opportunity, share Sisel KAFFÉ with others and build a supplemental income you've always dreamed of.
To create the world's healthiest, best-tasting coffee, we took coffee back to its roots--to the loamy, volcanic enriched soil of ancient Panama. In combination with unique good-health promoting and life-enriching ingredients, Sisel KAFFÉ will give your body it's daily boost while enriching even the most discriminating coffee lover's palate.
The award-winning Panamanian Boquete Gesha is nourished by a perfect mixture of high altitude, sun exposure and humidity.
Chaga contains B-vitamins, flavonoids, phenols, minerals and enzymes to support the immune and digestive systems.
Ganoderma is an ancient mushroom used in traditional Chinese medicine to promote longevity.
Don't let this small Indian herb fool you. Research shows Bacopa lends big support for the memory.
The leaves and stems of Gotu kola have a long history supporting respiratory health.
Sisel KAFFÉ uses only the highest-quality coffee bean: the premium panama boquete gesha. This world-famous coffee bean is grown in the right blend of environmental factors such as sun, soil, altitude and water.
Every bean used in Sisel KAFFÉ is hand picked because the cherries can often ripen at different rates. Picking by hand rather than machine takes more time but it also guarantees the beans will not be green and bitter.
The cherries are bathed and slightly fermented in water for up to 72 hours before being separated from the inner bean. The green beans are then sun dried for up to three weeks in preparation for blending.
Sisel KAFFÉ blends various batches of beans from prime locations in Panama. This special blending technique guarantees a consistent taste and aroma for coffee lovers cup after cup.
The dried and blended beans are then expertly roasted by using the right balance of time and temperature. The roasting phase is when the green coffee bean turns brown and black.
Once the beans are perfectly roasted, they are then 'micro' grounded to reveal Sisel KAFFÉ's smooth taste. It's during the grind process the coffee's body and aroma come together in a harmonious blend.

UPDATE: With the beachy weather all around us this week and weekend, we're thinking about Dezso's chic ocean-inspired jewelry. Check out the designer's pad and see why we're still obsessing. This article was originally published February 3, 2012.
When you hear "beachy chic," your mind probably drifts westward to some Pacific bungalow where sun-kissed girls hang ten and sip drinks out of coconuts. But that's only because you've never met local jewelry designer Sara Beltran, the creative genius behind Dezso (or "desire" in Latin). Desire indeed. The line (an instant obsession of glossy editors and Barneys' buyers) consists of simple, well-made bracelets, necklaces, and earrings that channel her love of the ocean, her Mexican upbringing, and Jaipur, India, where she just opened up a design studio. In a time when jewelry can feel limited to large impact pieces, Beltran's spare collection stands out, an aesthetic that translates to her home life as well. We visited her Chelsea casa and discovered a total oasis of calm away from the overzealous galleristas below — rustic and earthy, clean and subtly sophisticated, this crib is one chic getaway. Of course, we didn't leave without some snaps of Beltran's personal style, too. You can bet her ensembles are as cleverly understated as her line, even though she rocks a Birkin on the reg. We just hope it doesn't get sandy.
Check out Sara's laid-back Chelsea crib and read up on her designs before she shows at NYFW for the first time!
