Who says a work shirt has to look all serious and stodgy
Here's proof that you can have a little fun and still get the job done. Light, crisp cotton poplin is the perfect backdrop for our cheery plaid — feels fresh, works hard and lasts long. And the naturally curvy shape feels natural, fits better than traditional "boy cut" shirts.

Best Uses
I love this blouse and tried to re-order in another color as soon as it arrived. Alas, they were all gone.
The fit is wonderful! I am a little bit busty so I am hesitant to say it runs small...it definitely shows off curves!
Colors are vivid and it did not shrink...though I do not put it in the dryer. The fabric is heavier than I expected and should last MANY years.
PLEASE bring it back next year in different colors.
Best Uses
This style looks great on plus size women. Collars are flattering for everyone, especially older women. Alas, after searching the globe for this all cotton style shirt in my size, I gave up. Please consider offering this shirt in plus sizes. Different colors and patterns would be super!
Best Uses
Good shirt. Bought it for the wife. Gardening and yard work.
Best Uses
This was a bit garrish, but it matched some clothing I already have and so I wanted to keep it. However it did not match the usual Duluth sizing - I normally take a Duluth size L. The top of the shirt gapped a bit at the armholes and had too much material in the bust area. The shirt is extra long and should go over the hips better as my other Duluth garments do - but this just barely covered my hips. Also way too many buttons to deal with - I will stick to Duluth knit shirts after this!
Best Uses
multiple uses -- yard work, informal social occasions
Best Uses
In addition to a great fit and look, it washes well.
Best Uses
wish that it came in more color choices!!

Searing Foie Gras
oie gras is one of those rarified ingredients that can be intimidating to the home cook. And there are some misconceptions about how to prepare it. Foie gras does not have to be cooked in a terrine, or emulsified into a mousse, or pâté, though it is very often served this way. While there are many complicated applications for this creamy, fatty liver, the simplest is often the best. At D'Artagnan, we advocate the quick sear for fresh slices of foie gras. This is a no-fuss method that anyone can master. Save the fussing for the sauce. The perfect way to complement the taste of the foie gras is to balance sweetness with acidity, which often involves making a sauce with wine, Armagnac and fruit.
Here are three serving suggestions from D'Artagnan's Glorious Game Cookbook using sautéed slices of foie gras. Try our ready-to-cook foie gras slices for an easy, luxurious appetizer for two. Or, if preparing this dish as an entrée for more than four people, use our Hudson Valley Grade-A Duck Foie Gras Lobe, and slice into larger pieces yourself.
You will need:
4 slices of foie gras, about 2 oz. each
1. First prepare the sauce, and keep it warm while you cook the foie gras.
2. Score the slices of foie gras on both sides, then season liberally on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sear in a very hot, dry skillet about 30 seconds on each side. Before serving, sprinkle a pinch of coarse salt over each slice.
For the Sauce
You have a world of choices for a sauce to serve with foie gras. The most important thing to remember is that the fatty texture of foie gras is complemented with a balanced sauce containing both sweetness and acidity. Peaches, mango and pineapple all work well, but these are our favorites:
Simple Balsamic Reduction
Reduce ½ cup port and ½ cup balsamic vinegar by half, or to a syrupy consistency. Place slices of sautéed foie gras over mixed baby field greens, drizzle on port balsamic reduction, and serve.
Easy Apple
Heat ¾ cup fresh unsweetened applesauce (without cinnamon) with a splash of balsamic vinegar. Peel and slice 1 green apple. Sauté the slices in 1 tablespoon each butter and sugar until the sugar caramelizes. Spoon the applesauce onto a plate, add slices of sautéed foie gras, then top with apple slices.
Green Grape Sauce
Purée about 20 seedless green grapes with ½ cup sweet vermouth. Strain into a saucepan and boil until reduced to ½ cup. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons duck and veal demi-glace. Taste and adjust balance of acid or sweet, adding a touch of vinegar for acid, a touch of sugar for sweetness. Drizzle sauce over slices of sautéed foie gras. You may wish to slice several grapes in half and use them as a garnish for the plate.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Scott Rogalinski on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Although this was in use as a personal name both before and after the Norman Conquest, modern use in most cases almost certainly represents a transferred use of the surname. This originated as a byname for someone from Scotland or, within Scotland itself, for a member of the Gaelic-speaking people who originally came from Ireland. The given name is now often chosen by parents conscious of their Scottish ancestry and heritage, but it is also used more widely.

Athens, OH -- With a pair of touchdown passes, Tyler Tettleton became Ohio University's all-time leader in scoring strikes as the Bobcats prevailed, 34-28, in a Mid-American Conference showdown over the Akron Zips.
It was Ohio's (7-0, 3-0 Mid-American Conference) homecoming game and Tettleton finished 13-of-27 for 150 yards and two touchdown passes, giving him 40 for his career. Tettleton also got involved in the receiving game, hauling in a 39-yard touchdown pass from Landon Smith on a trick play. Troy Hill had 52 yards receiving on five catches. Hill and Donte Foster each caught a touchdown pass.
The Bobcats displayed a strong run game as Beau Blankenship rushed for 108 yards on 17 carries, Tettleton rushed for 65 yards on 12 carries, and Ryan Boykin rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.
For the Zips (1-6, 0-3 MAC), Dalton Williams was 32-of-53 passing for 298 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions. Jerrod Dillard had two touchdown catches, while Dee Frieson had 57 yards receiving on five catches. Jawon Chisholm ran for 177 yards on 28 attempts and caught five passes for 55 yards.
The Bobcats got their offense going early with a reverse flea flicker that led to a 39-yard touchdown pass from Smith to Tettleton at the 11:57 mark of the first quarter.
Ohio's lead increased when Tettleton threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Foster later in the first quarter.
Matt Weller then hit a pair of field goals, one from 44 yards out and a the other 29-yarder, to put Ohio up, 20-0.
Near the end of the first half, Akron put together a four-play, 75-yard drive that took only 28 seconds and ended with a 19-yard touchdown pass from Williams to L.T. Smith.
The Zips came out firing in the second half and managed a 75-yard, nine-play drive that was capped off by a 10-yard touchdown pass from Williams to Tyler Williams. The Akron deficit was cut to six.
Ohio answered later in the third quarter with a two-yard touchdown pass from Tettleton to Hill.
Following an interception, Boykin ran in a five-yard touchdown to give Ohio a 34-14 lead late in the third quarter.
Akron continued to fight back and Williams found Dillard for a six-yard touchdown pass midway through the fourth quarter that brought the Zips' deficit to 13.
Late in the fourth, Williams connected with Dillard again, this times on a five-yard touchdown pass, but it was too little, too late as Ohio ran out the clock and held on for the win.
Ohio has been fantastic all year protecting the ball. It possessed a plus-2.17 turnover margin coming into the game, ranking fourth in the nation. It forced two more turnovers against Akron and did not commit any themselves, continuing its great success.

Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplements vs. Placebo for Patients With Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)

- How to Read a Study Record
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) occurs in 2-3% of the US population and carries a 15-20% chance of progression to cirrhosis. It is closely associated with obesity, hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance. Therapy usually includes recommendations to increase exercise and to begin weight reducing diets but these goals are variably achieved and their relative effects in conjunction with pharmacological intervention have not been well defined. Moreover, these lifestyle changes can confound results of treatment trials if not quantified through conditioning testing and measures of body fat. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially formulation rich in omega-3, are widely accepted and endorsed in the medical community for their beneficial effects on hyperlipidemia and coronary disease risk reduction. Recent data suggests that omega-3 fatty acids ameliorate hepatic steatosis in humans and in animal models of NASH by reducing hepatic fat content. We hypothesize that a one year course of omega-3 fatty acid (3gm/day) will produce improvement in NASH histological injury independent of changes in weight (BMI) or degree of conditioning measured by the lactate threshold. The effects of the supplement will be compared to a placebo group and controlled for these lifestyle changes.

The Oscars: Honored political films
With "American Hustle, "12 Years a Slave" and "Captain Phillips" all nominated for top honors this year, here's a look at some films from previous years with political angles that were front and center at the Oscars.
1929-30: Lewis Milestone's anti-war epic "All Quiet on the Western Front" claimed two of the event's eight awards, Best Picture and Best Director. George Arliss (right), meanwhile, was honored for his performance in the title role of the British political figure in "Disraeli." (Ceremony: Nov. 5, 1930)
Pictured at left is actor Lew Ayres in the role of Paul Baumera in "All Quiet on the Western Front."(Photo: AP Photos)

With the newly acquired Avi Buffalo, venerable indie label Sub Pop has added yet another young, animal-loving folk-rock group to its roster (see Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses).
But Avi Buffalo also follows in the footsteps of the indie rock hotshots of yesteryear -- Built to Spill, Modest Mouse -- as evidenced by the jangly guitar work, baroque-pop melodies and wonderfully weird, nasal vocals of frontman Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg on their single "What's It In For?"
They'll hit Nashville on Wednesday, Oct. 6 for a show at Exit/In (2208 Elliston Place, 321-3340). It starts at 9 p.m., and tickets are $10.

Wedding Registries, Gifts, and Thank-yous
Giving gifts to the wedding couple is a longstanding tradition which serves as a tangible representation of love and support. As times change, gifts may range from traditional housewares to money towards a trip or a house. When choosing a gift, consider what the bride and groom may need as they begin a new life together.

"In fact, if I went back to college today, I think I would probably major in comparative religion, because that's how integrated [religion] is in everything that we are working on and deciding and thinking about in life today." ~John Kerry, U.S. Secretary of State
The study of religion is central to the nature and mission of Luther as a college of the church. The Department of Religion seeks to further this mission by equipping students with a level of competency in religion that will prepare them to serve the common good with distinction.
Our department is committed to the academic study of religion through an examination of the sacred texts, rituals, histories, theologies, philosophies, and contemporary expressions of diverse traditions. Our courses focus on specific religious traditions, such as Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, as well as on the intersections and interactions of multiple traditions. Through study abroad opportunities, we also offer courses in geographically diverse contexts, from East Asia to Africa to Europe.
Students interested in professional ministry will certainly benefit from our offerings. However, a religion major or minor is beneficial for a diversity of careers and attracts students with a wide variety of interests.

Not to jack the thread, but I'm new to the site and can't send a PM:
I'm looking for some facts on whether TIG welding stock aluminum case covers on my 2000 R6 could actually weaken it ...
For this year, stock aluminum case covers aren't allowed so some guys (including me) whose bikes are too old for Woodcrafts (and can't find NRC covers for their bike) were advised to have their magneto- and impulse generator covers TIG welded (by a reputable b-pressure certified welder) to build them up bar steel to pass tech ... BUT one of the guys on the tech committee is an engineer (not a materials engineer) "speculates" that the cooling after the welding might weaken the covers. He doesn't know for sure, so now there's a chance they won't pass tech. Since a lot of guys with older bikes have already taken this option, it's going to be discussed by the tech committee (which comprises said engineer, a firefighter, and a couple other racers, none of whom are welders). Anyway, I need to do some homework and wanted direction on how to get facts, not conjecture. What's your take?
I'd appreciate any advice because I want to be able to race round 2 and I can't see any other options if the committee decides the work I had done on the covers was for naut!__________________

TIG welding aluminum to beef up case covers?A soccer mom in an SUV is deadlier that a crack head with a handgun when youre on a bike.
Hey bluecat,
Your query lacks much information regarding the alteration you need to do.
1) Are you inquiring about the possibility of weakening the present cover with welding it?
2) Are you indicating you have to change the present alum. covers with steel ones?
3) Are you experienced with TIG welding? Do you have an adequate TIG unit to accomplish this project?
4) What are the qualification parameters set by the regulating agency that allows said usage of your bike?
You have to understand that knowing the cover metal grade will dictate welding process & possible damage from heating/cooling. Aluminum is the most finicky regarding cleanliness & since the cover has been immersed in oil or other lubricating fluid, your success ratio has been significantly reduced with contamination unless you can have it chemically cleaned to virtually "germ-free". Any welding produces a HAZ(HeatAffectedZone) that surrounds the weld joint & will alter the metallic properties & possibly induce cracking. If you have to change from alum. to steel, the regulating agency would have to indicate acceptable grades of steel & process/certification engaged. An example would be such as Nascar/Oval/Drag/IHRA ruling that TIG only or TIG & MIG is acceptable. The ruling bodies set the parameters & are strictly enforced.
Post your intentions as detailed as possible. Pics will be the best way to view your project and will allow other members to offer a suggestion or comment.

According to the 2010 Edmonton Motorcycle Roadracing Association Rulebook:
Engine case covers must be suitably reinforced, or be of heavy duty type specifically intended for racing use.
Alternate suitable protection for engine cases, such as frame mounted sliders, may be permitted (subject to suitability
and at the discretion of the Chief Technical Inspector) where suitable aftermarket reinforcement or race specific
covers are not commercially available.
The welder is b-pressure certified and uses a Dynasty 350DX TIG Runner.
I searched for an hour trying to find what kind of aluminum alloy was used to form the cast OEM case covers. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find out that info, but for argument's sake, let's say it's 5052.
I took some pics of the completed job (I low-sided the bike during the last race weekend, hence the rash on the magneto case cover).A soccer mom in an SUV is deadlier that a crack head with a handgun when youre on a bike.

I am not a bike guy, that said, those engine case covers appear to be cast aluminum, nothing special. There should be very little pressure on them, so I don't see why a welder would need a pressure certification to weld them. The reinforcement seems to be there just in the event the bike hits the ground to keep the oil in the case. Any tech guy who gives you fits for welding on that has no idea what he is talking about.
I think you're right about not needing any special certification to do the rather simple job I described; it just so happens that the guy who did the welds passed the Alberta Boiler Safety Association's Grade B Pressure Welder test -- he works on pipelines and knows his stuff but doesn't want to get involved in defending himself to non-welders -- he does welding repairs on race bikes on the side, more as a hobby than as a source of income (I was charged only $75 CAD).
The question the engineer on the committe brought up seems to be baseless theoretical speculation about whether the welds I took pics of may reduce the integrity of the cases (which, as you're correct in thinking, would pose track maintenance issues if they failed during a crash). It would be rare for a bike to highside and land on the track, fracturing a case cover and spewing oil onto the track ... I've never seen it, but I think it's much more likely that a previously "crash rashed" stock cover would scrape right through during a long slide (again, something I've only heard about and never seen at the small track we race on, the longest strech of which is less than half a mile long).
So ... I'd like to post something on the EMRA technical forum before the committee meeting that's coming up (without pointing a finger at one of the chief tech inspectors) and I'm wondering what a knowledgable welder would include in a post regarding the likelihood of harming the integrity of stock case covers after they were welded for the purpose of reducing the possibility of scraping through the pot stock aluminum ...
Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my question. It's much appreciated!

I won't chime in on the wisdom of these sorts of repairs, but if bikes are like other wheeled vehicles (I'm more familiar with cars), it is very rare that you get a "deal" buying damaged goods. The buyer almost always underestimates the complexity and cost of the repair. Even worse, the seller usually discounts the price only for the estimated repair cost, with little or nothing thrown in for the "pain in the @ss" factor. Why buy busted goods when a little more looking will likely get you a primo version of what you want at a price difference that'll closely match what you'd spend fixing it? This bike has to be an outright steal to be worth it.
Maybe I'll chime in ... DONT BUY IT! It's a Gixxer thou with a broken neck! The neck integrity and geometry is *crucial* (see here) to handling and braking so it should be written off and scrapped with a (permanent) non-repairable title. Can you imagine what might happen if you're floating along at a buck fifty and need to grab a mitfull of brake and the triple goes forward and the forks snap into the radiator? The neck on your Gixxer (and every other legal street bike) has a serial number on it ... for a reason. The only way to 'fix' the bike is to have the neck cut, buy a new neck ($$) and pay someone who has a frame table to weld the new neck ($$$$) ... then, at best you have a bike you can't legally use on the street (at least where I live) and it's not something the guy who TIG welds bikes for Vicious Cycle here in Edmonton will do (he doesn't have a frame table), even if he could. Way too dangerous. The frame is done. The bike I race, for e.g. has a repairable title (because the subframe was twisted) ... it's off but just outside of factory spec. The neck is fine, but to make it street legal, I'd need to replace the subframe.A soccer mom in an SUV is deadlier that a crack head with a handgun when youre on a bike.

Aluminium FRAME WELDER
Hi guys!
I'm looking to buy a bike with a welded aluminium frame, it has a MSVA Test by VOSA and is ready to road...the bike is a heavy Honda ST1300...
I would like to know how can I entrust that is well welded and it's completatly safe to ride... or maybe an welded aluminium frame will never be completatly safe to ride? specially on a 350kg bike plus 300kg of passengers and luggage....
Here a picture of the welded frame...
Thank you very much!

I have done this before exept i had a customer bring me a bike very similar to what your describing and i believe it was a suzuki that had been crashed and the frame was in about three pieces. The frame was originaly cast into halfs and weld down the center so i knew it was a weldable cast alum. I first beveled all the areas removed and stressed or bent areas with the plasma cutter, then cleaned all areas with a stainless wire brush and furthers wiped down with asetone. I then pre heated the joints ,used my syncrowave 250 using 1/8 pure tungsten at 150 to 200 amps (some parts of the weld where thicker and required more heat) then tacked every thing on a nice flat surface while constantly checking my square, and i welded all with 3/32 4043 rods,and had great results. So i would think a small crack just V it out clean it good, preheat, and weld. I hope this was helpful.

When he first began his $20,000 integrity probe of police Chief Kim Nuesse, attorney Michael Murman sent out a press release.
Anyone with "first-hand knowledge of accusations" against Nuesse should contact him. He also wanted to hear from anyone with "counter-accusations against other city officials."
But Murman used different words to describe that invitation in the summary report of his investigation:
"(Despite) the almost constant presence of the investigators in the community over the past 10 weeks and a press release inviting those with information favorable to the chief to come forward, their silence has been deafening."
Congratulations to city commissioners Dennis Murray Jr. and Craig Stahl, and city manger Matt Kline and law director Don Icsman.
You got exactly what you wanted: An investigation all boxed up that says exactly what you wanted it to say.

Kenny Rogers kept the mood light on the way into the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum for Sunday's Medallion Ceremony, the formal event that inducted the "Gambler" singer, Bobby Bare and the late Cowboy Jack Clement into the Hall's hallowed ranks.
Rogers said he was "flattered, honored and nervous," but also said he was just trying to keep his 9-year-old twins, Justin and Jordan, from striking a GQ pose in front of the cameras.
"They say kids at my age will either make you or break you, and right now I'm leaning heavily toward break," said Rogers, now 75.
Each of the three men — Clement posthumously — was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame with performances from some of their all-star peers and friends. John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives, and Emmylou Harris paid tribute to Clement. Bare was honored by Rodney Crowell and Harris, Buddy Miller, Kristofferson and John Anderson. Rogers' tribute came from Darius Rucker, Barry Gibb and Kelly Lang, Alison Krauss and Don Schlitz.
Before the ceremony — which was the first event in the museum's new CMA Theater — Clement's daughter Alison Clement-Bolton teared up when she said, "He's just my cowdaddy. (The induction) just means he's extraordinary, like I always knew he was. … He didn't want to be famous. He just wanted to have fun, and he did that."

Reds Fan Since 1971
In all fairness, batting guys at the top of the lineup in ST can have as much to do about getting them more ABs than any strategic decision. I see 5 guys fighting for a job, followed by 2 guys who already have jobs, followed by 2 guys without a shot.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Random pregame stuff from Trent:
R.I.P E.V. and Cueto's hair.* Talked to the Krivdawg, Capellan is subject to the regular Rule V rules -- for the Reds to keep him, they need to have him on the Major League roster all season. There was a $25,000 fee to claim him.
* Dusty was asked about Johnny Cueto and if the scouting reports had prepared him for what he's seen. "I read (the scouting reports), but I scanned them. I didn't want to be persuaded one way or the other. I scan a lot. I wanted to see it with my own eyes."
What have your eyes told you?
"Same thing yours are telling you."
Also, Cueto and Volquez have both cut their hair.
"He's not Sampson, you know," Baker said.
As far as his expectations for Cueto:
"Just pitch, son, that's all. No pressure, no expectations, just pitch. ... I've got some expectations, I'm just not telling him yet -- that comes later."
Dusty added that later time could be two-to-three years down the line, which means his expectations are probably greater than just a spot int he rotation. He also noted that when he came to Cincinnati, he had several people in other organizations tell him about Cueto and spoke glowingly of him.
I know it's been "pile on Dusty" season here at RZ, but I'm going to pile on Dusty.Dusty was asked about Johnny Cueto and if the scouting reports had prepared him for what he's seen. "I read (the scouting reports), but I scanned them. I didn't want to be persuaded one way or the other. I scan a lot. I wanted to see it with my own eyes."
I'm not a big scout guy, but dude needs to be doing more then "scanning" those reports.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
Dusty uses his senses...not some bland, scribbled up notebook! Get with the program!I'm not a big scout guy, but dude needs to be doing more then "scanning" those reports.
Hatteberg 2-run HR gives the Reds a 3-1 lead.

I believe I broke a record tonight: The first quadruple post in Redszone history.
Bill Bray makes an appearance!
* Bottom 5: Bill Bray in. Two pitches to Feliz and he pops up. Bray blew a fastball by Werth on the first pitch. Looked really good. Werth singled up the middle, although it wasn't something he's going to brag to his friends about. Kinda threw his bat at it and went up the middle for a single. Quick work by Bray, keeping my plans intact. Good work. I'm sure he's pretty happy about his first spring training outing being good as well. Redlegs 3, Phillies 1

Does any one know how to calibrate a Samsung Galaxy Tab GPS and compass. Is the Galaxy Tab even "calibratable"?

I don't think you can calibrate the GPS in any device.
To calibrate the compass, in every device mobile device I have seen, you just need to draw 8's in the air with the device and turn it up and down few times. But this calibration doesn't last very long, I guess depending on the device.

Advanced Breathe Clear Daily (120 capsules, 30-day supply) |Respiratory Supplements
Item# HST
Enjoy Natural Relief and Support for Nasal, Bronchial, and Lung Health
Overall, Advanced Breathe Clear Daily delivers targeted nutrients to…
- Support your immune system
- Promote healthy mucus levels and proper histamine response
- Open up bronchial passages
- Fortify the respiratory system against seasonal or environmental challenges
If you suffer from seasonal or environmental irritants then you're all too familiar with itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose, sinus pressure, and nasal congestion. When these symptoms strike, you feel downright miserable. Perhaps you've even searched for immune system supplements or respiratory supplements and have been disappointed.
Count those days as good as gone! Advanced Breathe Clear Daily delivers a powerful combination of targeted nutrients to help fortify your immune system, promote healthy mucus levels and proper histamine response, and open up bronchial passages. The Advanced Breathe Clear Daily formula is based on cutting-edge research which provides a natural solution for you to stay healthy and comfortable, every day, all year-round.
Two nutrients offer greater relief for both your upper and lower respiratory systems
- Tinofend®, from an Indian climbing shrub, increases the activity of your white blood cells that eat up allergens. A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial showed that Tinofend effectively improved multiple nasal symptoms—such as discharge, sneezing, obstruction and itch.1
- AlvioLife®, an all-natural blend of boswellia and quince fruit extracts, works from your nasal passages to your lungs, improving airflow drastically. A clinical study testing Peak Expiratory Flow, or exhalation, showed a 109% improvement.2
In addition to Tinofend and AlvioLife, this formula gives you:
- N-acetyl Cysteine (NAC): an overall detoxifier that also boosts your immune system function and promotes healthy mucus levels. You get the research dose of 400 mg daily of NAC in this formula.
- Bromelain: a key enzyme that promotes a healthy inflammatory response. Bromelain has been used traditionally to help the body better absorb other nutrients, such as quercetin. What's more, participants who were given 160 mg of bromelain daily in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study experienced significant improvements in sinus drainage, promoting free breathing.3 So I made sure to include 200 mg in the daily dose of this formula.

Science and Quality
Powerful Nutrients Shown Effective in Relieving Nasal, Respiratory Symptoms
A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial examined the effect of Tinofend in subjects with nasal congestion. In the trial, 75 people randomly received either 900 mg Tinofend (the daily dose in Advanced Breathe Clear Daily) or placebo daily for eight weeks. Results were recorded after 15 days and at the end of the trial. 1
Compared to placebo, Tinofend treatment was effective at improving many symptoms after 15 days. After eight weeks of treatment, improvements continued significantly.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study AlvioLife was studied on 36 participants with breathing issues. A variety of parameters were tested including how much the subject's activity is limited by their symptoms and the effect of environmental stimuli (allergens) on the subject's breathing.
Supplementation with 200 mg of AlvioLife (the daily dose in Advanced Breathe Clear Daily) for eight weeks resulted in significant improvements across the board on variety of breathing-oriented symptoms. Further, marked improvement was observed as early as two weeks after AlvioLife supplementation started.

The plate cost $10.00AUD and took around 30 minutes to complete.
The good people at Snap on sell their S/S corner protectors for $132.00AUD.
That is very reasonable and worth buying.
The only reason I made these ones is the Snap on ones don't come in tread plate which matches the theme in my workshop.

Looks as good as the ones Snap On want's to sell you for sure. I'm surprised you did not build the box as well. Come on, you know you've thought about it at least once. I know I have.Sometimes there's no second chances.
Hi Davinci2010,
Yes I sure did think about fabricating my own tool cabinet.
The only thing that stopped me was the cost of the ball bearing drawer slides.
Here they cost $50.00 each so all up the slides alone would cost $1600.00 for the required 32.

I'm with you on the price tag for the top, and the corner guards. Whenever I have enough money, and tools to buy another one, I plan on having it sprayed (all the way around) with hot spray truck bed lining material.
It isnt the corner, or the top I have issues with, its the sides, and the back. If you ever have to move the box (Like I seem to have to do...all the **** time) you eventually tag something that goes straight through the paint.
I got the stainless top on my cart for free though. I had a sheisty snap on dealer for a while (I'll with hold his name...for his sake) that was giving me the run around on my new tool box a while back (http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....re&dir=catalog) He kept trying to give me a yellow one, instead of the black one, that I had originally ordered. I finally told him, either show up with one in a week or less, or I am calling snap on corporate, to tell them what is going on. This was after a month of arguing with him, not being able to get ahold of him, with no luck at all, getting the toolbox I was already making payments on.
Two days later, my box was there, with a brand new SS top on it already. He still got fired, and corporate still got a call from me.
Looks pretty nifty though Jigantor, I may just have to make myself some new corner guards, though they'll probably just be plain AL.Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.
Hi On Fire,
Snap on has a great product but they have a great price tag to go with every product.
Some products are reasonably priced, you know just twice what other tools sell for while others are off the chain.
That said we still buy them.
Great to read your words.

Their Bluepoint brand excluded; They are some of the best tools I have ever used. The old Mac tools, ( before Stanley got too involved), were pretty good as well. I have owned Snap On and Mac tool boxes and of course Craftsman. If I had to buy another one today, it would be a Snap On. I have a Blue Point roll cart that has seen better days. It will be undergoing some major surgery. It's going to get a new frame and a small gasoline powered air compressor on the bottom level. The top half with the drawers will be mounted above. I'll try to post pics when I get it going good. I just can't start on it right now as I already have too many projects underway.Sometimes there's no second chances.
Hi Davinci,
The best tool cab I have ever owned was a Waterloo from the States.
Unfortunately they don't sell them here anymore.
Looking forward to seeing your projects.

I got to say, that with all the time and thought you put into the details, Snap On's accessories are no where near the quality and finish for the prices they ask!
I have a large investment into my roll cabs / chests and continue to buy more! But when it comes to the accessories and personalization, I find more satisfaction and many times, better design and details when I do it myself like you do!
Another plus! When we do these things ourselves, there is more unique "personalization" and pride in having a well finished addition, that no one else has!
Thanks for all that you share!
Hi Kamikaze,
Thanks for the kind words.
I have a few more projects that I will post soon and hopefully they too will be useful.

Dive-in at the Lido returns. 6th November 2011
The Dive-in returns! First of all many thanks to those who came along
last week to Dive-in to Dusk at St Albans. We will not be returning
there until 2012, but we now have an even bigger puddle to play in at
Brockwell Lido.
The original Autumn Dive-in at Brockwell has had to be moved forward a
month in order for us to get exclusive access to the pool. For those yet
to attend, this pool is very large indeed- almost as wide as the St
Albans pool is long, with plenty of depth. More information on the pool
There is also an excellent cafe on site, which serves great coffee and
mouth watering breakfasts and lunch with a very wide menu. Please take a
look at their website for more details-
There is a car park outside the pool. This has been free up until now,
but I believe there is a small charge now to pay if staying for longer
than 2 hours. I will find out if this has been implemented yet and send
out an update.
All details for the event, including postcodes for sat navs are printed
on flyer, but if you have any other questions just pipe up.
Look forward to seeing you there!

L'Apres-midi de Monsieur Andesmas
It's summer. The light is dazzling. We're in the south of France. The only house in the forest is the one that Mr. Andesmas has just bought for his daughter, Valerie. That afternoon, Mr. Andesmas has an appointment with a builder, Michel Arc. He waits on the site of the future terrace, overlooking the valley. Music rises up from the village below, a tune that everyone is singing that summer. Life now unfolds far from Mr. Andesmas. At his age he is used to this. Sitting in the shade, in an old wicker armchair, he waits for Michel Arc, who doesn't appear, and thinks of his young daughter Valerie, now his only love, who dances below on the village square. For a moment he is distracted by a passing dog and then by the arrival of a strange little girl, a messenger from Michel Arc, her father. In the heat and dizziness of the afternoon, he will also revive the memory of one of the key moments in his life: the departure of his wife 10 years earlier when she left the two of them, him and his daughter. Then, all of a sudden, there is another woman in front of him: Michel Arc's wife. She circles him, approaching him, veering away, coming back, desperate with love and restrained suffering.

Veronica Mars Movie - Kickstarter WTF $ucce$$
Man, this is getting nuts!
I was wondering when the established live action crowd fed up with Hollywood would be getting into crowdfunding. They probably already have but since I follow the animation / comics / game side of things I'm not on top of it as much.
But ya can't miss this!
Veronica Mars was a popular TV show in the US and Canada a few years ago. It was canceled and now there's a campaign to produce it as a movie.
Here's where it's at so far...
50,979 backers pledging $3,362,616 of a $2,000,000 goal with 28 days to go!
That's a 30 day campaign folks and they're already approaching $3.5 mil with only 2 days passed!
They reached $1 mil in 4 hours !!!
Another 4 hours later and they were at $2 mil !!!

Re: Veronica Mars Movie - Kickstarter WTF $ucce$$
I was listening to NPR yesterday and they were talking about this film. I haven't been feeling NPR for awhile now, I feel like they got owned by some big company now and they tone is pretty negative these days. Agenda based. I mostly listen for when it turns back into KCRW and plays good music.
So anyways, they were talking about this. And had an expert come on to talk about it. This dude was a nay saying. He was saying, any indie film makers who think they're gonna get their film funded because of this are sadly mistaken. That this is a fluke and kicksstarter is as well. That crowdfunding is a trend that will die off. I couldn't believe my ears. They didn't have an opposing view or anything. Just a straight negative sound bite.
I feel like in the upcoming months we'll be hearing more "news" like this from the mainstream to try to program us to believe this poopoo.
The fact that concepts are being funded independently straight from the audience tells me that they are yearning for more and they aint getting it.
Keep Creating!!
Re: Veronica Mars Movie - Kickstarter WTF $ucce$$
That's funny cuz in the 2 hours since I posted this topic the campaign has made another $25,000.
If they didn't run out of top tier rewards this campaign would probably go into the $10's of millions. Maybe it will anyway!
Anybody who publicly poopoos crowdfunding at this stage of the game literally has no idea what they're talking about. Or maybe they do but they're trying the best as they can in a futile attempt to get others not to take this seriously and stick with their fast fading model.
These are most likely industry insider people who see the writing on the wall but are looking at it with their eyes wide shut. Just like they did with music and the Internet in the 1990s.
It'll be interesting to see how they react in a couple of years when the new paradigm is fully manifested and the process of producing entertainment by the people for the people is the norm. Do you think they'll try and pass (you can't change) laws to subvert crowdfunding in some way? Do you think they'll try and buy off the government to sabotage this free exchange of capital and content?
Wouldn't surprise me if they're already working on it in those corporate back rooms.
This is the present and the future all you monkeys!
Might as well accept it!
Re: Veronica Mars Movie - Kickstarter WTF $ucce$$
Unfortunately, unless this crowdfunding sensibility bleeds into how people participate in government, I see full regulation hitting this arena. Eventually. They will want to control the success especially since the big entertainment companies will feel the pinch. Lets not think that the entertainment companies don't have influence over government.
Or they will start taxes us more for our success.
But, in the meantime, embrace it. maybe it won't happen because more self sustaining artists and creators/builders become part of this new future.
Positivity fractals like negativity. We just gotta decide where to put our focus.
Re: Veronica Mars Movie - Kickstarter WTF $ucce$$
Let's see, there's 1500 more backers and another $150,000 added since I first posted this a few hours ago.
Approaching $3.5 mil...

'Veronica Mars' film a go, thanks to a kick from Kickstarter
The success of the $2-million Kickstarter campaign in support of 'Veronica Mars,' a TV show that has been off the air for more than five years, illustrates the power of social media and its potential to reshape the economics of Hollywood.
By Dawn C. Chmielewski and Yvonne Villarreal
Los Angeles Times
March 15, 2013, 6:00 a.m.
Illustrating the power of social media, more than 30,000 fans of the cult favorite television series "Veronica Mars" pledged $2 million in a single day — or 10 hours, to be exact — to finance an independent film based on the teen drama.
The overnight success of the fundraising effort — the biggest film campaign in Kickstarter history, and the fastest to reach the $1-million threshold — represents a milestone in Hollywood moviemaking economics. It demonstrates that devoted fan communities can rally to support projects that mainstream studios might otherwise reject.

ATLANTIC — Creston/O-M wrestling coach Darrell Frain played a hunch after Atlantic coach Tim Duff elected to start their Hawkeye 10 dual Thursday by forfeiting to Panther three-time state champ Jake Marlin, who was placed up a weight class at 145.
With Atlantic thin in the middle weights and lacking a 152-pounder, Frain elected to insert freshman Cam Leith into that position and receive a forfeit victory, and then move juniors Gavin Leith, Adam Baker and Trevor Frain up two weight classes from their normal positions.
Despite giving up considerable weight in all those matches — which included Atlantic's fifth-ranked Matt Williamson against Frain at 182 — the Panthers won two of those three matches and then later picked up two key victories at heavyweight and 106 to claim a 37-24 victory.
That made it a clean sweep for the night, after trouncing Clarinda 58-9 in the opener.
"Creston is either really good on top, or we're not very good at all underneath," said Clarinda coach Josh Porter, whose team had just won the team title at the Coach Riley Invitational in Greenfield on Saturday.
Atlantic coach Tim Duff, the former Nodaway Valley coach now assisted by his brother, former Creston/O-M assistant Drew Duff, said the Panthers won all the key matches in the teams' first meeting since Atlantic won the third-place matchup at the 2012 State Dual Tournament.
"Creston came out and won those matches we were hoping to steal," Duff said. "At 170, 182 and 195 we have three seniors, and Creston beat us in all three. Creston had a good pin at 106, and a nice win at heavyweight. Those were big matches. Coach Frain has some good young kids. We know we'll see them down the line, and we have a lot of work to do."
The Panther coach said he wasn't sure his team could beat Atlantic, and admitted he gambled by moving some key wrestlers up two weight classes.
"A lot of it was me being stubborn," Frain said. "When they forfeited to Jake, I decided to do the same thing and put Cam in (at 152) for the forfeit. I thought Gavin (Leith) would have a chance to beat his kid, Adam Baker moved up and wrestled well and Trevor (Frain) beat the number five kid at 182. We've wrestled him before, so I thought we could win there."
After Leith dropped a 3-2 decision to Cal Heuton, Baker wrestled a solid 3-0 victory over Jordan Mauk at 170.
Frain, ranked fourth at 160, then toppled the ranked Trojan wrestler at 182 by a 7-1 score.
The matchup of the night was at 195, where top-ranked Keaton Hulett of Creston/O-M defeated No. 9 Tyler Stork by a major decision, 12-4.
Cole Tanner nearly pinned Atlantic's Tyler Christensen at 220, but got turned to his back and pinned in 3:52. That made it a 22-9 team score with six matches remaining.
In about a 20-second span, Atlantic's hopes were dented in a big way when Panther 106-pounder Stone Hammons pinned William Weppler in 1:14, and heavyweight Nate Robinson got a takedown in overtime to beat Jezidiah Phippen, 3-1.
That pushed the Panther advantage to 31-9.
"Stone Hammons gave us a big pin, and Nate Robinson did a nice job getting the overtime win," Frain said. "Those were big."
Promising Panther freshman Wyatt Thompson was pinned by fourth-ranked Darren Schwenke at 113. Kruz Adamson was in a wild match with 10th-ranked Dillon Cox at 120. It was tied 6-6 in the third period when Cox got a takedown with 1:20 left. Adamson escaped, but with only three seconds remaining had no time to forge a scoring move in an 8-7 loss.
Spencer Wray (126) and Joey Huntington (138) picked up 9-2 decisions as the Panthers won two of the final three matches to post a 13-point victory.
Frain, Seth Maitlen, Tanner, Robinson and Thompson all won by pins in the 49-point victory over Clarinda. Hulett picked up a major decision.
Atlantic finished the night with a closely-contested 36-33 victory over Clarinda.
The Panthers travel to Leon tonight for the Central Decatur Tournament, while the JV competes in the Lenox tourney on Saturday.
"We'll see most of our district at Leon, so we'll get a good look at those kids," Frain said.

roll the dice - In Dust
After stealing our hearts with their 2010 debut on Digitalis, Roll The Dice have signed to Leaf for their sophomore LP, a richly emotive and highly personal collection of analogue synth instrumentals. As even RTD's most ardent fans would corroborate, thus far out-and-out innovation hasn't been at the top of the agenda; their extraordinary first album was created firmly and lovingly within a tradition, namely that 20th century canon of cyclical, contemplative Kraut electronics headed up by Kraftwerk, Cluster, Schnitzler, Tangerine Dream et al (und alles?). The new album is more expansive. For a start, there's an increased dynamism and propulsive energy - and a heightened sense of dub-space - that immediately marks out 'In Dust' as a post-techno endeavour. Not that RTD's considerable acumen is used to create airtight and soulless sound design: for this record, they've rejected shiny surfaces, choosing instead to introduce - as its title suggests - a dusty quality to the overall production. At first this subtly hypnagogic treatment gives their compositions a kind of nostalgic glow, but soon the darker character of the new work comes to the fore: if their debut conjured rolling hills sparsely populated with wind-turbines and grazing sheep, In Dust is all about the claustrophobia and paranoia of the metropolis. There's a grinding, industrial vibe to 'Dark Thirty' and the climax of 'The Skull Is Built Into The Tool', a real sense of dread to 'Iron Bridge' and 'Maelstrom' - bucolic whimsy has been replaced with urban decay, and it works. Recorded in Sweden, mixed in Norway and exquisitely mastered by Pole in Berlin, In Dust is perhaps an all too tragically apt soundtrack to Northern Europe's current widespread soul-searching.

Every move Ireland has made has not been awful but Im tired of the excuses and passes he gets for the bad ones. He drafted Vontae with questions raised from his benching by Zook, so that was his bad choice if it was one. Now trading him for a late second round pick when we have no depth at corner is not a genius move. Brandon Marshall was one incident from getting suspended when we traded two picks for him and these were not late second round picks. Plus we tied up quite a bit of cash in Marshall making him among the highest paid players at his position. Then two years later after a pro bowl season we figure out he is the guy off the field we thought he was although he was on his best behavior for us. we then trade a guy that goes on to have an 11 td season 100 receptions and about 1400 yards for Michael Egnew and a late to mid third this year. When we did it I felt it was poor value but we have the draft and free agency to address it , no real big deal. Not good but lets see what our GM can do. And then we know what he does,
He doesnt address wr at all in the draft except a few late sleeper picks and he signs bottom of the barrel free agents. I dont feel like he had to make a blockbuster trade or spend a ton of money but a legitimate guy to improve our passing game. There were guys out there and free agency outside of resigning Solai at a solid number (not like the idiotic franchise number we had the year before) this free agency was pathetic
For the team? Find a player / answer to handling TE's like Gronk.
Personally? My resolution is the same as last year. No more buying gear until we have a winning season. My message to Ross.
We're kidding ourselves as long as we remain in that stadium.
The unblemished record won't be 1972. In the long run it will be zero championships combined for the Dolphins and Canes in that building, no matter how it's configured. We can kid ourselves for 35 combined seasons or 100. Take your pick.
I have to admit that our stadium is NOT an advantage like the Orange bowl used to be.
Ozzy rules!!

- Less flimsy than today's market tags. Is currently making a wonderful and touching keepsake for the children and family. This tag was sent to my cousin in New Orleans, LA as a Christmas gift for her rescue canine "Sonny", a golden retriever, who came to live with her after being found post-Hurricane Katrina. I met him once on a visit - what a sweet, mellow boy! (Until the sound of thunder...)

- Unfortunately, Sonny passed away May 30, 2013.
