Gallery: Green Roofed Hillside Homes Blend Into their Environs
Austrian architects Tobias Weiss and Gernot Reisenhofer have designed a beautiful series of terraced hillside homes that save energy by blending into their environment. Nestled against the surrounding hills, each green-roofed apartment takes advantage of passive solar design, rainwater recycling, and photovoltaic sunshades.
Weiss and Reisenhofer designed their green hillside community with a variety of passive design features in mind. South-facing windows optimize daylighting and thermal gain in the cooler months, while natural ventilation and photovoltaic shading systems keep the interiors cool during the summer.
The community's terraced layout ensures that each apartment has a beautiful view, complete with a stretch of green space out front that doubles as an insulating green roof for the unit below. The roofs are populated with local plants and feature rainwater recycling systems that help water the plants and provide greywater for use in the apartments. A series of pedestrian walkways winds between these rooftop parks, encouraging the use of sustainable transportation and creating a tightly knit community.

Comments about Saddle Messenger™ Bag Tour:
I wanted to love this bag, but it is too small to hold a standard portfolio with an 8.5 x 11 pad of paper. As much as I'd like to go completely paperless, I can't do business without a regular-sized pad of paper in a leather portfolio. The largest pockets on this bag are about 1/2 inch to small to put in a pad of paper. It is also nearly impossible to put letter-sized prints of documents into the pockets without wrinkling/crushing the document.
BROOKSTONE please make this bag just a hair smaller so it will be practical for use with letter-sized paper and portfolios. I have many Brookstone bags and products, but by making this bag just a tad too small to work, you are teasing me with what I can tell would be very convenient if it were big enough!

Comments about Saddle Messenger™ Bag Tour:
In my previous review, I had not found the shoulder strap... even after inspecting four bags.
Once pointed out by a very helpful employee after I returned to the store with my four bags, it was clear that my 2 star review must not be left alone.
So, 5 stars as promised. Great product.

If you are not happy with the shape of your nose, you can opt for rhinoplasty,also referred to as a nose job. Through this surgery, the size and shape of your nose can be enhanced. Those who have a flawed nose because of birth defect or due to some accident can opt for this surgery. People suffering from breathing or nasal problems also opt for rhinoplasty.
If you have disfigured ears, you can opt for otoplasty. Some people have disfigured ears due to birth defect and some due to an accident. At times, the structure of the ears can result in complete or partial loss of hearing. In such situations, otoplasty can come as a rescue.
This surgery can help improve the appearance of your eyes and make them look well defined and brighter. Through this surgery, the eyelids of the patient are given a good shape and are lifted, so that they do not look droopy and tired. If you have droopy eyes, blepharoplasty is the right solution for you.
Face lift
Sagging facial skin is bound to occur with age. However, you can get rid of this by opting for a facelift. Through the surgery the excessive loose skin on your face will get removed. A face lift also helps you get rid of wrinkles, and the end result is a tight, bright and younger looking face. Similar surgeries include a neck, cheek, or brow lift.
Tummy tuck
Tummy tuck surgery, as its name suggest, helps to remove excess fat from the abdomen. This helps in firming and tightening the skin on the abs. The end result being a slimmer and toned abdomen.
This is quite like tummy tuck, and helps remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen. Liposuction can be performed in various ways, like radio frequency, mesotherpay, laser therapy and so on. A particular treatment is decided keeping in mind the condition of the patient.
Breast surgery
Many women are not happy with the size and shape of their breasts. Women who desire bigger breasts can opt for breast implants that enlarge the size of their breasts. Those who suffer from loose and sagging breast due to breast feeding or aging can opt for breast lift surgery, which will help regain the lost elasticity and firmness. For women who want to reduce the size of breasts, they can get a breast reduction instead. This can help alleviate discomfort and pain from having overly large breast.
Hair implants
This type of cosmetic surgery is becoming very popular with many celebrities, particularly men. In case of hair implants, artificial hair is added to the bald scalp. This surgery is also popularly known as hair weaving, and is a blessing for bald people.
Benefits of cosmetic surgery
If you are looking forward to opt for plastic surgery, you naturally would also want to know what would the results be like, and what changes you will experience. To help you understand the same, some of the various benefits people enjoy after a plastic surgery are listed below.
Physical – the most noticeable benefit is a healthier look on the particular part of the body. Your body will appear in a more natural proportion. Effects of sun exposure and aging can be corrected, thus offering you a completely new look. You can look years younger with plastic surgery. Those who opt for breast reduction surgery notice a reduction in neck pain, headache, and lower back pain. Post this surgery, women are more comfortably able to exercise, play sports, and wear different types of clothes.
Psychological – Apart from physical advantages, a person undergoing plastic surgery enjoys many emotional benefits. Those who opt for liposuction feel more confident about themselves, are more energetic and participate in all activities, that they did not feel like being a part of earlier. Those who opt for breast augmentation look more attractive, and this greatly boosts their confidence levels. After undergoing plastic surgeries, people experience improvement in their appearance and this make them more confident and outgoing, and increases their self-esteem.
How to choose the right cosmetic surgeon
Plastic surgery can definitely prove to be a blessing, but news of surgeries going wrong is not unheard of. To make sure your surgery is performed in the right way, you need to select the best plastic surgeon. So how do you make the right selection?
Do a proper research – You can ask your family or friends for referrals or recommendations. You can check with your acquaintances or friends who might have undergone the same procedure you are interested in. The internet is yet another medium using which you can search for surgeons, but do not fall for any enticing marketing campaigns.
Check credentials – find out if the surgeon you are eyeing on has already performed the kind of surgery you are interested in. If yes, then properly go through their credentials and training. The doctor you opt for must have been accredited by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Verify experience – if you are happy with their experience you need to check their experience level. Enquire how many times the surgeon has performed the type of surgery you are interested in. It is very important that you yourself find out about any valid bad experiences or any disciplinary actions against that surgeon. You can go through their before and after photos as this will help you take the correct decision.
Technology aids – Look properly into the surgeon's practice. Does he make use of the latest technology? If yes, this shows the surgeon is up to date and goes back to school to continue improving. Since technology is improving every day your surgeon must be updated, and know how to use latest equipments or procedure so that you can enjoy the best results.

Lewis Hamilton may not be focusing on the World title but after back-to-back podiums believes he is in the hunt...
Lewis Hamilton may not be focusing on the World title but after back-to-back podiums believes he is in the hunt.
Although many believes Hamilton's title quest would suffer this season after joining Mercedes, it has done just the opposite in the early running.
Back-to-back third-placed results in Malaysia and China have Hamilton fourth on the log where he trails Sebastian Vettel by 12 points.
"I am," he told Autosport when asked if he felt that he was in the title fight. "I definitely feel like that at the moment.
"But, I am not focusing on the title because you never know.
"Look at Nico Rosberg's car [which retired with anti roll-bar failure]. It didn't finish and that could happen to me any time, although fingers crossed it does not.
"It can happen to anyone. Fernando [Alonso] didn't finish the last race and he is scoring high points, so he is looking very strong."
However, such is Mercedes' strength and their improvement from last year that Hamilton concedes they were a bit disappointed to only finish third.
"We are really happy with it, and it is almost to the point that it shows how we have improved so much.
"To be disappointed with a third is a fortunate position to be in.
"It has been a good weekend. Of course I would have loved to have won, as that is what I came here to do, but we just were not as quick as the Ferraris.
"Maybe if we did not have some of the issues with the front wing then I might have been able to overtake the Lotus [of Kimi Raikkonen], maybe, but they were still very quick even though he had problems with his front wing.
"We just need to improve. As Ross [Brawn] said on the radio, we are not quite there yet but we are not that far away."

It was upsetting to see the Canadian squad finish outside the medals again. Personally, I think Hockey Canada made the mistake of taking a far too young and inexperienced team. But I have to say its awesome to see countries like Sweden and now Finland excel at this level and win it all. It is now a very competitive tournament where almost anyone can win. Good for Finland, and Sweden should also be very proud of their youngsters. Can't wait till Sochi when the big boys play. And again, anyone can win. Go Canada!

I'm surprised you haven't caught on as to why this is happening or what the REAL problem here is.
Its quite simple really. To a man like Fireland, someone who is as dumb as him looks at the metrics and says he has the same "tangibles" as Player A so why draft in round 1-3 when I can acquire the same "tangibles, metrics" in round 4-UDFA. He doesn't take account into playmakers are playmakers not playmakers come in metrics.
1 example, Wilford, tall big strong, Gates pretty tall and a burner, Turner tall big strong, NaNaee tall big strong, Wallace tall big strong etc etc. He compares those metrics to AJ Green that has the same size weight strength or BM and says he can do it just as well as AJ or BM etc because they have the same TANGIBLES.
Instead of viewing it as who makes plays on the FOOTBALL Field first than look at metrics second.
I think you can win and make the playoffs without a great defense...the Patriots almost won the SB last year with a defense ranked near the bottom, but I don't think you can win a SB with an average to poor offense. Offense wins SB's these days because of the new rules. We have to find more explosive players or we are never going to get to the promised land.
reggie bush, the sudden forgotten man. what a difference a year can make.
But I just think Ireland and Philbin screwed the pooch at WR this year. Ireland is dealing with a new regime of coaches so I think the change messed his mind a little coming off the Marshall trade. But I also think there is a long term plan in mind here. The skill position does not equate to championships. Skill position working hard to become the best is what it comes down to IMO. Look at guys like Wake who came from out of nowhere? Why? Because he works hard at his craft week in week out. He works at being the best. Hartline works hard at being the best he can be, if only he didnt have to dive for every friggin ball or fall down when someone touches his shoelace in the open field.
People shouldnt just look at the most talented guy but the guy who stays humble and works hard at their craft every week. I watched that interview with Calvin Johnson last night and what struck me is not his size, but how he approaches the game and his head never lets him become complacent.

Pouncey is explosive...for a center.
Reggie Bush is a good counterpoint. Explosive player.
But he wasn't drafted either.

if you believe Jeff Ireland is the answer then you're not asking the correct question, which is: after 5 years of the same, why do expect him to change what he does? because in his mind, it's working just the way it is. and what's worse, is he has the owner believing along with him. sadly, Einstein's theory of insanity permeates Dolphins HQ on a train running downhill with no brake.
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious
Marshall is not explosive, have you ever seen him play? He's a brute, with a size advantage on the average cornerback. He never beats a corner deep, if he get's a long ball the corner is right there, Marshall just uses his size to win the ball. For those who want Ireland gone, maybe you would rather have JJ or Wrongstadt back. Just like QB's there are 32 teams and only maybe 20 good QB's? or GM's as the metaphor goes. Careful what you ask for you just may get Pioli'ed just like KC did... or Oakland...SD, Cleveland,Tenn., Or you could get Jones'ed like Big D, or Jag'ed, Bungled, or Bill'ed. Just WTF is the sure fire hire out there (that the other 12 or 13 teams will be competing for) guaranteed to put them over the top?

I recall as a kid hearing a tape with some song that went, "in the year tav-shin-ayin-gimel..." [5773], does that ring any bells? What was supposed to be special about that year?

The song you're thinking of is Country Yossi's parody of In the Year 2525. (The lyrics were included in the Tishre 5773/September 2012 issue of Country Yossi Magazine.)
There's no significance to 5773 except for the rhyme.

Create Your Plate
Often, when people are diagnosed with diabetes, they don't know where to begin. One way is to change the amount of food you are already eating. Focus on filling your plate with non-starchy vegetables and having smaller portions of starchy foods and meats.
Creating your plate is an easy way to get started with managing blood glucose levels.
You don't need any special tools or have to do any counting. It's simple and effective—draw an imaginary line on your plate, select your foods, and enjoy your meal!
Once you've changed your portion sizes, you can work on making healthier food choices from each food group.
Seven Simple Steps to Create Your Plate
It's simple and effective for both managing diabetes and losing weight. Creating your plate lets you still choose the foods you want, but changes the portion sizes so you are getting larger portions of non-starchy vegetables and a smaller portion of starchy foods. When you are ready, you can try new foods within each food category.
Try these seven steps to get started:
- Using your dinner plate, put a line down the middle of the plate. Then on one side, cut it again so you will have three sections on your plate.
- Fill the largest section with non-starchy vegetables such as:
- spinach, carrots, lettuce, greens, cabbage, bok choy
- green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes,
- vegetable juice, salsa, onion, cucumber, beets, okra,
- mushrooms, peppers, turnips
- Now in one of the small sections, put grains and starchy foods such as:
- whole grain breads, such as whole wheat or rye
- whole grain, high-fiber cereal
- cooked cereal such as oatmeal, grits, hominy or cream of wheat
- rice, pasta, dal, tortillas
- cooked beans and peas, such as pinto beans or black-eyed peas
- potatoes, green peas, corn, lima beans, sweet potatoes, winter squash
- low-fat crackers, snack chips, pretzels and light popcorn
- And then in the other small section, put your protein such as:
- chicken or turkey without the skin
- fish such as tuna, salmon, cod or catfish
- other seafood such as shrimp, clams, oysters, crab or mussels
- lean cuts of beef and pork such as sirloin or pork loin
- tofu, eggs, low-fat cheese
- Add a serving of fruit, a serving of dairy or both as your meal plan allows.
- Choose healthy fats in small amounts. For cooking, use oils. For salads, some healthy additions are nuts, seeds, avocado and vinaigrettes.
- To complete your meal, add a low-calorie drink like water, unsweetened tea or coffee.

Before building this trike, I had never built anything that moved or worked on bikes. I had also never constructed anything using bamboo, carbon fiber or epoxy. Needless to say, I needed a lot of help and resources to get this project done. My primary source of information on trike building was www.atomiczombie.com. Brad and Kat at Atomic Zombie sell plans for building recumbent trikes from old bikes. Brad has put together an entire library of picture and video tutorials on bike building and maintenance. The AZ online forum is filled with DIY builders ready to give advice on every aspect of recumbent trike building. Without these folks, I'd still be doodling. I purchased a set of plans from AZ (Warrior trike) to learn how to build the steering, front axles, hubs, and disc brakes. Since these specific details belong to Atomic Zombie, I'm not going to divulge their plans, but I highly recommend purchasing a set for building out the rest of the trike. They are very easy to follow, well illustrated, and reasonably priced.
Other good bike websites I use:
Bamboo resources I found invaluable:
I wonder if I could substitute PVC pipes for Bamboo canes. Nice design .... Looks like a design I'd like to use for a great nation wide fund raising trip I'd like to use. I like the seat design that goes with this design aswell. any replies from other people than the maker of this craft is welcome. Keep up the great work I love this item.
Holding up
Going to go the whole way and make the body?
I still ride it - I am 62
Would love to have a velomobile so I may give it a shot once I catch up on what I was supposed to be doing the past 4 months! Thanks again.
Last I heard the tandem recumbent, velo and stoker were for sale.
error file /site not found
I love it and I want a go. Your methods for accuracy are something I will take on board in this and other future projects.
You can tell I'm enthused can't you?
aluminum, isnt hard to work with. long as u have the right tools. aluminum brazing rods for example. aluminum tig an mig will work as well. it all come down wat u have to work with. and how much u are willing to spend.
u can use uv B & A plastic tubing to get the same end result too. an it can be welding with pvc clue an machined like metal, (soft metal).
Use nylon thread and epoxy , that's it! Rap the thread tightly and then soak with epoxy . Once it gets tacky weave the thread diagonally over the first layer then soak it add another layer rapped like the first , that;s it. On the thicker pieces it might be faster to use masons line which is incredibly strong stuff , it comes in differing strengths.
Try it , I guarantee the bamboo will fail elsewhere.
Cool project , how long did it take?
It took me about 6 months working on it when I could find time. There was a lot of head scratching also. Thanks
goto Alibaba.com an llok 4 carbon fiber there.
I bought my hubs from Bitex. http://www.bitexhubs.com/htm/index.php
Here's a link from AtomicZombie you might consider on building hubs.
I planned on doing a bike tour through Europe, mostly to northern Europe, maybe Scandinavia. Seeing other trikes and recumbent bikes, I thought about building one. I still can't decide on a bicycle or a trike because of following reason:
If you go fast (up to 50 km/h or 30 M/h) and make a turn, do you risk to fall over?
This would be the only drawback for a trike imo, though it's advantages would be that you can maneuver it more easily, ride stabler with slower speed (e.g. uphill) and it would be easier to ride in a city.
Thanks for your effort to post this and your precious information!
I also thought about the differences between recumbent bikes and trikes and came up with an idea of a recumbent bike with two helping wheels next to the back wheel that could be unmounted/mounted to switch between both vehicle types.
Any help or thoughts are very appreciated.
If I were heading out on the trip you are describing, I'd take a different trike. The main reason being that if you break down, no one is going to be able to help you fix it. Whereas a bike shop could help you with a metal frame. I think a bamboo trike could do the trip, but things happen and you could find yourself stuck somewhere. Bamboo bikes certainly stand up to long rides, mountain biking, etc and the bamboo is sealed so weather isn't an issue.
Check out www.atomiczombie,com for great plans on building recumbent bikes and trikes. You'll get a lot of ideas and info from them.
As for the low cg, I want to build a low racer similar to this one (with the same back-wheel construction as yours):
Thanks for the fast answer!

Sunday, November 04, 2001Charleston, SC -- The College of Charleston volleyball team used 24 blocks, including 6 block assists by Tara Greene, to defeat East Tennessee State, 3-1, this afternoon at the John Kresse Arena. After taking the first two games by scores of 30-13 and 30-24, the Cougars (26-2, 16-1) struggled in the third game as the Buccaneers (18-4, 13-4) had their best effort to take the third game 30-25 off of 19 kills. Charleston stepped up its game in the fourth to take the match with a close 30-25 win. Stephanie Ballard paced the Cougars with her 13 kills, while Alisa Long followed closely with her 11 kills. Mary Sabatino added 17 digs to Tara Greene's 15. Carey Cavanaugh and Lissa Allen, of East Tennessee State, led their squad with 12 kills, while Amber Ciskowski led with 20 digs. The win extends the Cougars' winning streak to 16 and keeps them undefeated at home with a 14-0 record. The College of Charleston hosts The Citadel Tuesday in a 7:00 PM game for its final home game of the season while East Tennessee State travel to Appalachian State Nov. 6, for a 7:00 PM contest.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

But...in all those years never have I fried chicken that comes even close to being as crispy, moist and delicious as Ms. O'Neill's "Crispy Fried Chicken". Without a doubt, her recipe is THE BEST fried chicken I've ever prepared or eaten. Not only is
it delicious and crispy hot right out the frying pan, but when warmed up the next day in the oven, the chicken is as crispy as ever.
Thank you, Ms. O'Neill for sharing your wonderful recipe
Certainly this chicken lives up to it's name... it definitely IS crispy! I read all the reviews and decided to not only brine it first, but then rinsed and soaked in a buttermilk/tabasco mixture for several hours. Added garlic powder, lemon pepper and Old Bay to the seasonings but I have to say... this chicken, although crispy yet moist, tasted like fried grease. No flavor to speak of. Will continue my search for a good recipe... although this was better cold, I will not adhere to the recipe again. I know it's not the popular opinion, but I think this recipe would definitely benefit from adding MSG (Accent). Three stars for the excellent method, though!

5++ star rating for this one, Elaine! Your techinque works wonderfully. This plus some tried and true ways, give the most perfect fried chicken every time. Correct oil temp is necessary, about 375, and it takes a while to get that hot. I also brine (soak in salted water) any chicken I prepare and this assures moistness no matter what the cooking method. I have tried many seasoning combos, depending on the mood, and they all are super, as long as you follow Elaine's way of preparation. Simply the best fried chicken I've ever made!
I used boneless filets and cut it into strips. I usually coat my chicken in eggs before flouring them but the buttermilk worked 100 times better. The chicken was more tender and moist than it normally is when I fry chicken. Great prep instructions. I also found that I can freeze the chicken after it is coated in the flour. So, I can just pull it out of the freezer the next time I want to make some and it will be a lil' quicker. And for a fun variation, every now and again I add garlic powder and dried parmesan to my flour mixture. Then after I fry up my strips, I throw them on top of some pasta with marinara sauce and top with fresh mozzarella and parmesan cheeses to make a quick and easy chicken parmesana! My family loves it and I can't get rid of my friends when I make it. There is never, never, never any leftovers!
I rarely give a recipe an overall rating of five stars. This one deserved every one of the stars. This was a true winner, and I couldn't believe how crispy and juicy it was! I used poultry seasoning, lots of paprika, and some garlic powder to season the flour. I know a recipe is good when my family devours the dish and asks when the next batch will be ready. Even my 3 year old niece ate two pieces! Thank you *SO* much for sharing this recipe.
OMG! I never grew up eating fried chicken and after trying this recipe I feel deprived as a child! My husband had been asking for fried chicken for a while and I wanted it to be perfect. Having never made this before I read through a bunch of recipes but obviously knew that fried chicken has to be moist on the inside and the breading has to be thick enough to stand up to the frying process so it can be crunchy on the outside. So, I began with a marinade. I put the cut up chicken in a glass bowl and filled it with enough buttermilk to cover plus a couple dashes of tabasco. I turned the chicken a few times during 6 hours. I drained the chicken in a colander and patted it dry then breaded it in the flour. For the flour mixture I used 3 cups flour, 1 Tbsp. garlic powder, 1 Tbsp. onion powder, 2 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp. salt. 1 tsp. pepper. I then follwed the steps outlined in this recipe. We used an electric fryer so our cooking time was a bit less than 30 minutes. You have to watch your chicken closely. I don't know which I like better - fried chicken that's fresh out of the frier warm or cold out of the fridge the next day. Either way, I'm hooked! Thanks for a wonderful recipe that definitely makes "Crispy Fried Chicken"!
the fried chicken turned out to be deliciously crispy even though i made a few alternation. i substituted buttermilk with sour milk (made from 1 cup of milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice) as i couldn't find any in the supermart in our country. Marinated the chicken for few hours with little salt, pepper & paprika. i only cover the chicken for 10 mins (for a batch of 8 thighs). there's none left to test whether chicken still remain crispy when left overnight
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I've tried (emphasis on "tried"!) to make fried chicken in the past and it's always come out all burned and crisped on the outside and still pink in the middle, then I'd try to fix it by nuking it, and ended up having it soggy and uncooked. But the tips and recipe were both perfect! All I did was add garlic (garlic fiends here) and paprika then followed recipe to a tee and received perfectly done fried chicken! Woohoo! It tasted awesome and looked super! Hubby and I loved it and chowed down big time! Yum!

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I am a frequent traveler on flights from east coast to west coast--about 5 hours. I was in the market for noise-cancelling headphones or earbuds and after reading a few reviews of these I thought I would give them a shot. I'm not ready to spend the dough on the Bose QC headphones and don't want the extra bulk in my carry-on bag so I wanted to try another in-ear option first. I have already tried a pair of AudioTechnica buds that I bought for about $50 and returned them because they were terribly uncomfortable in my ears. I just received the Polks and have tried them around the house but not yet on the plane. First, the provide an array of different size and type of ear pieces and several of them are very comfortable and provide a good seal in the ear. Best I've had. Second, the sound quality is good, even very good, but as I read in several reviews the bass is really heavy. I have the EQ on my iPod touch set to "bass reducer" and that sounds okay but just about every other setting is way too heavy. For this reason, I may end up returning them. Finally, the noise reduction has only been tested against my bathroom exhaust fan and it definitely cancels out the sound. maybe not as well as the AudioTechnica's but average cancellation...the real test will be on my first flight to CA next week. If you don't desire a ton of bass in your music, I wouldn't recommend these. Pros: Very comfortable. Good noise cancellation. Cons: Bass is very heavy. Was this review helpful? Yes No Good Headphones Written By Anonymous, Irvine, CA on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality First off, I have to say these are an incredible upgrade to basic ear buds and the lower priced sets. Great sound, pretty decent noise reduction. I use them exclusively in my office, so I'm not traveling with them where noise levels can be elevated. They seem to be good for home or office environments. I wouldn't want to use them for exercising, since they are not that light weight in comparison to average ear buds. Plus these require a AAA battery to work, so there's a control device that houses the battery and on/off switch, adding extra weight. That's probably the biggest drawback and why they don't have 5 stars. The control device has an LED light to indicate when on or muted, as well as when the battery runs out. But when the light turns red or blinks red, make sure you have a back-up battery ready to go, because you have minutes before you're out of juice and no more music. Even good batteries won't last a very long time if you listen all day long, for weeks. You take that for granted when you don't use batteries to power your other headphones. A side note: I purchased these from the outlet and when I opened the package and put them on there was an overpowering smell of cigarettes. Apparently the original person who tried them out and returned them was a heavy smoker. I left them out on my desk for a couple days to air out and eventually the scent left. Real turn-off at first. Also, the battery that came w/ them ran out after a few days of use. Pros: Great sound quality over standard ear buds. Cons: The constant need to have back-up batteries on hand, in case yours runs out. No battery, no music. Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk Audio Ultrafocus 6000 Written By Bryan, Honolulu on Saturday, August 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I bought the Ultrafocus 6000 noise-canceling headphones to replace a pair of Sony in-ear NC headphones I've been using for about a year. I love Polk products, so I had high expectations. First I tried them in the kitchen just as soon as I could get them unpacked. They sounded amazing and felt great with the medium ear pieces. I was getting ready for another trip to Japan and was excited to use them on the airplane. When it was time to leave for Japan, I put them in my bag and left the Sony's behind. I put them in my ears and turned them on right after takeoff and thought I must have gotten something wrong, because the noise canceling was just average at best. I tried different ear pieces, different angles, different music, etc, but the noise-canceling never improved. When they were at their best I could still hear voices (talking, crying babies) fairly clearly over the music. I have had Bose QC-15s and three other sets, and the sound quality of these Polks was at the top, but the noise-canceling was just average. I tried them on one more trip, and ended up returning them and going back to the Sonys. Pros: Sound quality, comfort, talk-through button Cons: Average noise-canceling 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Amazing 4.5-5 Written By Allan, Las Vegas on Sunday, July 15, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality The best all around great sound from top to bottom. If you love music like i do & like it the louder it goes these dont disapoint. The only flaw is that i like just a little more treble but thats what equlizers are for. Very comfortable, who cares about buly not bad & lass bulky than over earphones and sound just as or better than most. These arent just a name these really are a quality product by a superior sound company. Thank you polk audio. Pros: Amazing bass response with out over doing it, very comfortable. Noise reduction is right on. Cons: Still dont get the battery powered part & just a touch more treble sound. but who cares they look and sound great. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great investment Written By P H, Birmingham, AL on Tuesday, June 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I bought these for a long-haul flight half-way across the world....Have not gone on the trip yet but cannot wait. I have been an avid collector of all-things Polk Audio over the years, and these little guys do not disappoint. Polk is sure to offer several ear bud tips to suit your ear canal size to ensure a proper fit. You know your ear buds are fitting nice and snug, when you hear that characteristic Polk Audio bass thumping on your eardrum. Bottom Line: If you want a discreet pair of ear-buds that offer similar features, similar/better performance than larger, bulker counterparts, all at a lower cost, then look no further. If you want to look like a pro-football star with your "ear muff" headphones, then well, these are not for you. Pros: Size, portability, protective case for travel, quality Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Solid Written By BryceM, Atlanta, GA on Monday, June 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality These were the first noise-cancelling headphones that I've tried. The are very solid headphones. They sould great and do a decent job of reducing background noise. My only complaints are that they are a little bulky and protrude pretty far off my ear and they don't do a great job reducing background speech or crying babies. Constant noise like jet engines, mowers, etc are nearly completely eliminated. Pros: Great sound. Great at cancelling constant noise Cons: Not as comfortable as other earbud styles. Not as good at cancelling non-constant noise. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

It helps Polk to select better materials and more efficient geometry. With deep analysis, Polk engineers can pinpoint and eliminate things that reduce performance before they become a part of the finished product. The miniature polymer drivers in UltraFocus Series headphones are specially tuned to produce a flat, uncolored frequency response. This true transparency reveals a wide dynamic range, with sharp details, and no hint of strain. The UltraFocus 6000 employs Active Dynamic Balance drivers made of lightweight, durable PET material, in a sealed micro-enclosure, tuned and fitted to eliminate resonances with optimized damping. Active Dynamic Balance technology is an exclusive combination of ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) and Polk's patented Dynamic Balance material tuning process. Optimized Active Noise Canceling: Active Noise Canceling technology uses sophisticated audio algorithms to silence distracting outside noise. Polk goes one step further with UltraFocus headphones. They use Optimized Active Tuning to work in tandem with the ANC technology, enhancing audio performance beyond that of ordinary headphones. Whether you're traveling by airplane, train, or bus; walking along a busy street; or working out in the gym Polk's new UltraFocus Active Noise Canceling Headphones give you a refuge from all the noise. They deliver the kind of audio performance you expect from a home audio system; expansive, detailed, engrossing, with deep bass response. Push-to-Hear Ambient Control: You can instantly mute audio and amplify outside sounds so you can experience the outside world without removing the headphones. The "Pus-to-Hear Ambient Control" is found on the headphones in-line controller. Battery Powered: A single AAA battery (included) provides between 40-60 hours of listening time. The battery is inserted to the headphone's in-line controller. Multiple Ear Tips: Properly fitted ear tips help you to eliminate extraneous noise, experience greater bass response, and enjoy better tonal balance. Ear tips that fit correctly also feel more comfortable. No two person's ears are exactly the same, so Polk includes three pair of Stayfit Silicone Tips (s/m/l), two pair of Stayfit 3-Flange Silicone Tips (s/l), two pair of Memory Foam Tips (s/l). Ultra Flexible Tangle-Free Planar Audio Cable: Standard round headphone cables always coil up and twist; and are a constant source of annoyance, because they get in the way of your workout. Eventually repetitive twisting means the cable will break or pull out at the end. The cable's planar design (with oxygen-free wire for better conductivity) completely eliminates coiling, so the headphone cables won't tangle up during a workout, or when stored away. The planar design also eliminates micro-phonics, the tendency of an electronic device to turn a mechanical vibration into "noise," which you would hear, in this case, through the headphones. StrainGuard: Headphones get a lot of abuse. The UltraFocus Headphones have been designed with this in mind. StrainGuard is a protective system that addresses the areas where many headphones fail most often. A Kevlar core that houses the speaker wire provides extra tensile strength to prevent the wire from being pulled apart at common failure points. The other points of common failure in headphones are at transitional points between cable lengths and at connection points. In the UltraFocus Series, all transitional connections are computer designed to strengthen the points where they fail most. Connectors & Adapters: The UltraFocus Series headphones employ a gold-plated 3.5mm connector that has been designed to fit through the opening on most portable audio player cases. A 2.5mm adapter is also included for select mobile devices, such as Nokia. In addition, an airplane adaptor is included to use during your next flight. Carrying Case: The Polk UF6000 comes with a convenient travel case for storage and transportation. Our Product Research Team At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs Great noise-cancelation and great listening Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 8/15/2013 1:03:00 PM It was really crowded and noisy in the Labs when I tried these headphones out. I found that the UltraFocus perform admirably if you use them properly. It's crucial that the earbuds fill your ear completely. Polk provides seven different pairs of earbud sleeves in a variety of shapes. Take the time to find the right pair. An ideal fit will feel comfortable for a long period of time, and also seal out most ambient sound even with the headphones turned off. The built-in controls add some practical functionality to the headphones. The microphone button switches the signal from your music to the noise around you. This means you can converse with the flight attendant (or in my case, a co-worker with a question) without having to remove the headphones. There's another switch that drops the volume by 10 dB. This let me continue to enjoy my music, but hear a little bit more of the conversations going on around me. This can be a good thing in areas (such as airports) where you might need to be aware of your surroundings. And the headphones were a joy to listen to. My test tracks (including some high-resolution digital audio files), had a good amount of detail, and presence. Definitely travel-friendly. What are the Labs?

Shiitake or Black Forest or Chinese Black Mushroom or Japanese Black Mushroom
Large, meaty shiitake mushrooms are not black, but chocolaty brown, with an umbrella-shaped cap and a fibrous, woody stem. They are found in most supermarkets, and are utilized most often in Asian cuisine. Far from being limited to Asian dishes, however, shiitakes are hearty and meaty and hold up well in stews, omelets, pizzas and Italian dishes—their firm texture affords a long cooking time. Fresh or dried, they make an excellent gravy that would please herbivores, carnivores and omnivores alike. They are cultivated and available year round.

Shimeji or Buna Shimeji or Hon Shimeji
See Brown Beech Mushroom.
See Morel Mushroom.
Fresh straw mushrooms are not widely available in the U.S. and few of us would even recognize them if we saw them: They look almost like quail eggs, with unopened "veils." Most people are familiar with the canned variety of straw mushrooms (see photo at right), which are often found in Asian dishes and are easy to find in most Asian supermarkets. Dried straw mushrooms can be found in many Chinese markets and are just as delicious as the fresh variety. Use them in stir-fries, sauces or in beef dishes.

A type of subterranean mushroom, truffles are prized around the world for their heady culinary powers. No one has figured out how to cultivate them, and since they are found usually about a foot underground, specially trained dogs or pigs are needed to sniff for them. A kilogram of black truffles can sell in the U.S. for well over a thousand dollars; white truffles are even more costly. But a little goes a long way: most cooks shave a small amount of the truffle into patés, egg dishes, pasta, and even mashed potatoes. Only a truly wealthy and decadent person would cook whole truffles the way one cooks other fungus: The flavor is actually too strong to be enjoyed whole. White truffles may be eaten raw, while black truffles must be cooked. Store them in a container of dry white rice. This will keep them fresh and flavor the rice with the great taste of truffles. The harvest season in the Périgord and Italy is October through November, sometimes longer; however, black truffles are now coming from China and other parts of the world. Read our comprehensive article on truffles for more information.

Trumpet Royale or Black Trumpet or Horn of Plenty or Trompette Mushroom
These mushrooms are trumpet-shaped, thick and meaty and can easily be used as part of a main course. Sauté in them in garlic, butter and parsley or replace use them as a substitute for ground beef in lasagna. The black varieties are fragile, very rich and buttery with a sweet, earthy richness.

This mushroom is similar to the golden chanterelle, but lighter in color.
While many mushrooms are called "wild," the term truly belongs to those foraged in the woods. Species that were formerly wild, such a cremini, oyster, portabella and shiitake, are now cultivated indoors and available year-round.
This variety of mushroom is prevalent in Asian cooking. It is easy to identify, as it resembles a human ear, the surface is purplish-gray in color and the flesh is a dark purplish gray to almost black. While it doesn't have much flavor of its own, it has firm, gelatinous texture and takes on the flavors of the foods it is cooked with. Soak wood ears in water to soften them before cutting them into pieces and cooking.

Yellowfoot Chanterelle or Yellow Leg Mushroom or Funnel Chanterelle
A small, very thin mushroom with a tawny cap and a bright, golden yellow stem. It is less meaty and less flavorful than other varieties such as the golden chanterelle.
