Can MediaInfo be fixed to decipher media info from multichannel LPCM encoded audio files like .l16 or .l24? I was trying MediaInfo and Gspot - no result. Why is that, and what program can ID media data in such files, like codec used, number of channels, depth, frequency, etc.
I have no idea of what is .l16 .l24 formats, please provide example files and open a feature request ticket:
If your file have absolutely no header indicating number of channels / depth / frequency (if the file contains only raw PCM samples), as I can imagine with the file extension, there is no possiblity to know such data and only the creation tool can know such information (from somewhere else?)
If your ifle has an header, do you have an idea of the format name (an extension is not enough)?
Thanks. This audio format is used as standard in Audio CDs and DVDs. My files were transcoded to LPCM from 5.1 Flac with **eac3to** using its LibFlac.dll. I can upload samples, or you can transcode any multichannel Flac to LPCM with eac3to using command:
eac3to input.flac output.lpcm
Resulting file can be streamed to network players, some understand extension .l16, and some .lpcm too.
You can find more about LPCM in this** Wiki article and this** Mpeg standard. It has no header whatsoever. Nonetheless, I believe FFMpeg -i command can decipher media info from some of such files by analyzing hex data, despite it was not encoded with ffmpeg.
LPCM format is the uncompressed lossless audio mandatory to support under DLNA spec for media streaming devices. It usually doesn't contain any header, unless packed in WAV, AIFF or another container. It would be highly desirable, if you can implement empiric analysis algorithm to decipher media info from file hex code.
I created a ticket and uploaded file, but don't see that ticket shown up. Not sure, may be 6Mb file was too big or it took too long to upload it. More info on LPCM is in this Media Wiki article. Audacity can import such RAW files and shows partially correct deciphered media info before importing them.
Resulting file can be streamed to network players, some understand extension .l16, and some .lpcm too.
Do they understand the file if file extension is different? How can they know the sampling rate from the file extension + raw stream only (44, 48, 96 KHz)? You provide no info on your side?
You can find more about LPCM in this Wiki article and this Mpeg standard
In the case of DVDs, there is an header. MediaInfo already supports such PCM stream detection.
FFMpeg -i command can decipher media info from some of such files by analyzing hex data
Tested with eac3to success.wav output.lpcm (file from eac3to package, the resulting lpcm is the same file without WAV header) then ffmpeg -i, no detection.
It usually doesn't contain any header, unless packed in WAV, AIFF or another container
I support such PCM streams (or in AVI, MPEG-4…)
LPCM format is the uncompressed lossless audio mandatory to support under DLNA spec for media streaming devices.
as raw PCM? I have difficulties do believe it. Or in a container (MPEG-2, or MPEG-4)?
It would be highly desirable, if you can implement empiric analysis algorithm to decipher media info from file hex code.
It is completely different work to detect such stream with empirical analysis rather than reading an header. Additionaly, it is really really rare to have to deal with raw PCM. So I don't plan to add such "file format", at least with free support. And for paid support, it would be very very expensive, I think.
I created a ticket
Weird, I don't see it.
More info on LPCM is in this Media Wiki article
I know all of your links ;-).
But it does not resolve the issue of the raw stream. All your links speak about PCM in a container (WAV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4/MOV…)
Audacity can import such RAW files and shows partially correct deciphered media info before importing them.
And YOU must provide the channel count, the sampling rate, the byte order, the bit depth… Audacity does not detect them. Because it is impossible to detect them, IMHO.
Maybe bit depth / byte order / channel count is possible with lot of audio integrity tests, but for sampling rate, I can not imagine how to differentiate 44 KHz from 48 Khz data…
Thanks. This Samsung player **spec** (a typical one) shows it supports LPCM (raw PCM) playback. I can confirm, my player easily plays raw PCM from eac3to without any container whatsoever with extensions .l16 and .l24 only. I think, extension recognition is limitation of DLNA standard, but everything else is done by the player (well .l16 means 16-bit by default).
However, it can play only 2-channel LCPM via DLNA protocol, not multichannel - it plays slow. 2-channel LPCM limit in DLNA is discussed **here** among other streaming sites. Since DLNA is defacto standard for billions of devices on the market, and LPCM is lowest denominator audio format they all must support at least in 2-channel, MediaInfo IMHO should be updated to include such files info recognition.
It might be a challenging task, but if every DLNA device does that (no container required), there must be common algorithms available and working very reliably. :)
my player easily plays raw PCM
I still wonder how it can detect 44 kHz vs 48 kHz… And what happens if you provide a 96 kHz file? What happens if you provide a mono-channel file?
Because I don't like such sentence from your links " (It will play 48K files, but with distortion). " -> Absolutely no sampling rate detection is made. It is expected to be 44 kHz for this player, but another player can expect 48 kHz.
The specifciations seem to be hard coded, and if you are not in the specifications, no file reject, only weird behavior. For MediaInfo, it is not acceptable: I try to provide information for (pretty) sure, or I don't provide it.
but if every DLNA device does that (no container required),
From your links, it seems to be: DLNA player expect a very specific format, and if it is not the case they have weird behavior. Not a good algorithm ;-).
Anyway, it is not a planned feature for me (the main developer). A patch may be accepted if it is reliable.
You're probably correct in your observations. Some new Apps are coming that will allow Samsung player to play media without DLNA 2-channel restrictions. Not sure if it will affect "hard coded" specs in its firmware, but its also continuously updated. Anyway, just wanted to point your attention that an extremely large pull of devices exists out there that use LPCM files your MediaInfo tool can't identify at all. And the number of such devices is growing exponentially as we speak: all smart phones, BD and Media players, new TVs, etc. :)

Actually, its likely that audio/L16 format as a subset of LPCM format is locked by standard to a set of default parameters like 44100/16/2, so all media devices need to do is check the file extension. I tested this assumption, and the same file plays OK when media parameters match the above set AND extension is .l16. If extension is different, the file isn't visible via DLNA interface. If I save a file with different media specs under .l16, it still plays but garbled. Hence, the player doesn't seem to check media info apart from file extension (at least for LPCM file types).
This might make your work easier, limiting it to finding the proper standard, and MediaInfo giving info like this:
"The files with that extension by default have the following standard specifications…" It seems better than nothing. :)
Jerome Martinez
Testing the file extension is not acceptable. One of the requests from lot of other users is especially not to depend of the file extension. Additionally, I don't always have it (people can use MediaInfo with named pipes, memory buffers…).
Additionaly, testing the extension is something not difficult for a tool ;-).
Summary: this solution is not acceptable inside MediaInfo. Won't fix, because it is not fixable (relying on the file extension is not a solution)
sam bul
I agree that testing file extension is not a reliable solution. However, testing LPCM files is not "my requirement", I just pointed your attention to this broad problem, which exists on its own (without me) with large segment of popular consumer devices complying with DLNA standard. And LPCM playback is the only way to listen lossless audio from such devices.
But most MedaInfo users would disagree that a generic solution to find at least some media info from LPCM files is impossible. The hex code pattern itself can tell a lot when combined with other empirical methods. You might not be interested (or able) to develop such solution, but to say that solution impossible is incorrect.
Thanks for your helpful tool! Sorry, I can't help to resolve the issue other than draw attention to it.
sam bul
I have no idea of what is .l16 .l24 formats"
The problem seems to be, MediaInfo tool was long oriented towards A/V formats playable via traditional means, i.e. from a laser disk on hardware player, or a media file on PC software player. But current overwhelming trend supported by broad and fast growing range of modern devices is Media Streaming. And it relies upon streamable over net A/V formats that were not covered by the set of traditional A/V standards.
I found some relevant standards that may help you in modernizing your tool to current requirement. I know you may claim that its perfect and doesn't need any modernization, and there is no demand for new A/V formats whatsoever. Unfortunately, from a typical iPhone or Streaming Media & BD & TV Player owner standpoint it may no longer be true.
In particular, some useful info can be found in RFC 3551 RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences with Minimal Control and RFC 2586 The Audio/L16 MIME content type. Both standards seems to be actively used by streaming DLNA compliant devices.
Jerome Martinez
In particular, some useful info can be found in RFC 3551 RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences with Minimal Control and RFC 2586 The Audio/L16 MIME content type. Both standards seems to be actively used by streaming DLNA compliant devices.
For RTP: Exact, MediaInfo currently does not support RTP.
For HTTP (RFC 2586); Exact, MediaInfo currently does not support HTTP MIME type.
But none of theses formats is the thing you requested at the beginning, it is completely different.
MediaInfo tool was long oriented towards A/V formats playable via traditional means,
I don't agree "only by traditional means".
- A .l16 file only on the disk is not what you are speaking about now with your links. A file extension is known not to be trustable. I don't want to rely only on file extension (again, it is a request from my users not to trust file extensions). Additionaly, the file extension is something easy for anyone to test, no need of MediaInfo. It is completely different than a "container" used to transport the stream. If you really want something so basic than file extension test, I could add an option to MediaInfo to accept only the file extension as "magic" value, but due to the very few people interested in such test, it will be professional service (more work to do on implementing the option than the test itself!). If you are ready to sponsor such option, it is possible, ask for a quotation. But do not expect this option to be set by default.
- I support what my users wants me to support. The "containers" RTP and HTTP are currently not really requested by me users (as far as I know). Adding RTP or HTTP to the list of "containers" I can analyze is not "new means vs traditional means", it is only another "container", nothing was invented there. But (nearly) nobody is interested in theses "containers".
- testing only the file extension is currently rejected (in free support, to be precise). Not trustable enough + easy for anyone to test without MediaInfo.
- testing the RTP header or HTTP header is possible. Add a feature request. But I prefer to warn now: it is not a priority for me currently (feature not sponsored).
For your information, HTTP(S), (S)FTP(E)(S), MMS(H) are already (not officially) supported "containers", but not by default (library compilation option currently, I did not have the time to test all, the code was developped for specific need from one of my customers, and the GUI is not ready). But currently for HTTP, the MIME type (in the HTTP header) is discarded (support of HTTP MIME type is possible, but not implemented).
By the way, something funny: did you read the RFC 2586? default sample rate is NOT 44 KHz. It is 8 KHz. You said your file is 44 KHz. so… Can you provide the official specification for files having ".l16" extension? It is definitely not the same as RFC 2586 ;-).
sam bul
Lets clarify something: I'm not here to criticize your tool, but to suggest how it can be updated to reflect current media usage trends. And, I can't unfortunately sponsor its development at the moment. But, your tool is great and has being very useful for many people for a long time. Though in the next few years up to 60-80% of media playback will move to streaming, so you're behind the trend, and it shows.
As to this particular example of .l16 format, currently choosen by DLNA Guidelines for lossless playback, pls review RFC 3551 again:
Section 4.5 Audio Encodings:
Table 1: Properties of Audio Encodings
L16 sample 16 var. 20
Table 4: Payload types (PT) for audio encodings
And if you look how the hex is coded for different formats right in this standard, and contact its maintainers for advice, you can engineer a more generic algorithm able to ID not only .l16 (which is quite limiting), but also ANY streamed LPCM media content. And possibly look at other mentioned formats from that standard, because smaller devices & smart phones tend to use them instead.
Jerome Martinez
Again, now you speak of RTP. RTP is not a file on the disk, it is not related to a .l16 extension, it is different. You can add a feature request to support RTP, and all stream formats supported by RTP wil be detected. RFC 3551 is not about PCM, it is about RTP (with PCM, QCELP, GSM, MPEG Audio… transported formats, for the RFC you pointed. Other RFC includes H264 and other audio/video formats)
Read again the RFC, you can read that there is a clock and so on, so you can have for sure the sampling rate, the channel count… It is not the case of a .l16 on your hard drive.
So: what do you want?
- .l16 on the disk? optional option to rely on the extension, never by default because extension is not reliable. You still did NOT provide a specification for this format (RTP or HTTP RFC are absolutely not a specification for a file on the disk). Provide a specification to prove there is an acceptance this file extension is reserved to "44 KHz 2-channel PCM" (for example) (DLNA specs?)
- HTTP or RTP support? It is possible
None of theses features will be done on free support due to the low interest (you are maybe interested, but not a lot of people are), I can accept patchs.
And possibly look at other mentioned formats from that standard, because smaller devices & smart phones tend to use them instead.
Again, there is absolutely nothing new: I already support all of theses stream formats when they are in other containers (MPEG-4, 3GPP, MPEG-TS, AVI…), if you want the support of another container, no problem, nothing new, MediaInfo is ready to receive new code built to support theses "containers".

Global Warming Study Remains Educated Guess New Look at the `Greenhouse' Effect Still Says Earth Gets Hotter Climate and Higher Sea Level
Robert C. Cowen, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
FOR prophets of global warming, forecasting remains an "iffy" business.
They know people are perturbing the climate system with heat-trapping "greenhouse" gases. Yet their computer simulations still yield only "best guesses" as to what the effects may be.
This uncertainty permeates a new attempt to project future climate using material prepared for the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development now under way in Rio de Janeiro. The new study reduces a 100-year projection of global warming and sea level rise by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1990. Yet it warns that humanity still faces possibly serious climate change. The first study
An IPCC team of 170 scientists from many countries based the 1990 projections on a variety of scenarios for future emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases. The IPCC has refined those scenarios for the Rio conference. Tom Wigley and Sarah Raper of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, have used the new scenarios to reforecast warming and sea-level changes.
Reporting their work recently in Nature, Drs. Wigley and Raper note that the earlier IPCC "best guess" projected a 3.3 degree C rise in average global temperature and a 66 centimeter rise in sea level. Their new "best guess" is for a 2.5 degree warming and 48 centimeter sea level rise. Warnings remain
Wigley and Raper point out that while "these are substantial reductions ... the projected changes ... still are very large." They emphasize that "the warming corresponds to a rate roughly five times that observed over the past century and the sea level rise is at a rate roughly four times that estimated for the past century." Yet they also caution that "the uncertainty ranges for these projections are large, and they are higher ... than in" the 1990 forecasts.
Thus, one of the latest and most detailed computer simulations still fails to clear the climatologists' crystal ball.
That does not mean that climatologists have no certain knowledge. They understand very well how the greenhouse effect works and what kind of jolt greenhouse gas pollution is giving it.
Like a thrifty household, the climate system sticks to an energy budget in which income balances outgo in the long run. The Sun supplies the energy income. Clouds, bright surfaces, and aerosols reflect about 70 percent of incoming sunshine away from the planet. The other 30 percent - the energy income - is absorbed to drive the weather. …

Footloose: the musical
Presented by Theatre with a Twist
April 5 - April 7, 2013
Theatre with a Twist Inc. is proud to present 'Footloose', a musical based on the 1984 film of the same name. This is the classic tale of teen rebellion and repression. When teenager Ren McCormack and his family move from big-city Chicago to a small town in the West, he's in for a real case of culture shock. Though he tries hard to fit in, the streetwise Ren can't quite believe he's living in a place where rock music and dancing are illegal. There is one small pleasure, however: Ariel Moore, a troubled but lovely girl with a jealous boyfriend. Reverand Shaw Moore, Ariel's conservative minister father, is responsible for keeping the town dance-free. Ren and his classmates want to do away with this ordinance, especially since the senior prom is around the corner, but only Ren has the courage to initiate a battle to abolish the outmoded ban and revitalize the spirit of the repressed townspeople. Fast-paced drama is filled with such now-famous hit songs as the title track and "Let's Hear It for the Boy." Tickets are $13 adults and $11 students/seniors and can be bought on the website or at the door. Performances will be at Hale Middle School, 55 Hartley Rd, Stow MA, April 5 & 6 at 7pm, April 7 at 2pm. Suitable for all ages. The music is by Tom Snow, the lyrics by Dean Pitchford (with additional lyrics by Kenny Loggins, Eric Carmen, Sammy Hagar & Jim Steinman), and the book by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie. Footloose is licensed by Rodgers and Hammerstein Theatricles, 229 W. 28th St. New York,NY.

Sandra Bullock will get award at S.B. Film Festival
What actress Sandra Bullock giveth, she now taketh away.
Bullock will receive the American Riviera Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in February, organizers announced last week.
The actress, getting rave reviews for her performance in "The Blind Side," a football-themed movie based on the real-life story of Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Michael Oher, will receive the award on Feb. 5 at the Arlington Theatre, 1317 State St., Santa Barbara.
The American Riviera Award recognizes an actor who has had a strong influence on U.S. cinema. Previous recipients include Mickey Rourke, Tommy Lee Jones, Forest Whitaker, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Kevin Bacon and Diane Lane.
Bullock came to Santa Barbara in 2007 to present the award to Whitaker, who directed her in "Hope Floats."
Bullock, 45, was recently seen in "The Proposal." Her other credits include "Love Potion No. 9," the two "Speed" movies, the two "Miss Congeniality" films, "While You Were Sleeping," "A Time to Kill," "28 Days," "Murder by Numbers," "The Net," "The Lake House" and "Crash."
Roger Durling, the festival's executive director, said it's time to salute the actress' enduring and lengthy career.
"Bullock's career-capping performance in 'The Blind Side' encompasses everything we have loved about her since the early '90s, from the deft physical comedy in 'While You Were Sleeping' to the mettle of her role in the Academy Award-winning 'Crash,'" Durling said.
The 2010 Santa Barbara International Film Festival will run Feb. 4-14 at various venues around town. The 11-day event typically screens more than 200 films, features a half-dozen celebrity tributes, hosts several discussion panels and draws 60,000 to 70,000 people.
Tickets for the Bullock tribute are 20 percent off through Dec. 31, and other discounts on film screening packages and passes are also in effect.
For tickets and other information, call 962-8543 or visit http://www.sbfilmfestival.org.

About Us
Revival Animal Health was founded in 1989 by Dr. Roy Nielsen, Jr., affectionately known as "Doc Roy." This venture, to be a complete and trusted source of vaccines for pet breeders, was a second career – a "revival" – for Doc after a lifetime of caring for animals as a veterinarian.
Quickly the company expanded from pet vaccines to an extensive line of pet healthcare products. The company continued to grow to serve not only breeders, but other pet care professionals and personal pet owners as well. After five years of spearheading this growth, Doc Roy handed over the reins to his son, Roy Nielsen III, who continues to serve as President of Revival and its cage-bird products division, Great Companions.
Revival is a family-first, quality-focused organization, proud of its Midwest culture and work ethic, and dedicated to unparalleled customer service. "Great products, great prices, great service" continues to be the company's mission as we serve you "from the Heartland."

Anna Papadopoulos | December 3, 2008 | Comments
A new book explores how marketers can make the most of our natural instincts.
Tell your 18-year-old niece who wants to get into advertising to skip the media and communications degree and study science and math instead. In last month's column, I briefly mentioned "BusinessWeek" senior writer Stephen Baker's new book, "The Numerati," which introduces us to the mathematical gurus who are creating predictive algorithms to decipher our next move based on our data trail. It's not hard to imagine, considering everything we do can be traced back to some electronic data pool that includes our credit card purchases, cell phone bills, and online browsing behavior. Someone once told me that if I wanted to understand a person's values, all I needed to do was examine her credit card purchases. Try it with your own credit card statements, and see what you uncover about yourself.
Now another interesting book has come out that has convinced me that I need to go back to school. "Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy," by marketing wizard (and former ClickZ columnist) Martin Lindstrom, is based on a research project that Lindstrom conducted over three years. Lindstrom and his team used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) technology to understand what happens in consumers' brains as they are exposed to advertising and specific brands. This research falls under a body of marketing called neuromarketing.
"Neuromarketing," a term coined by market research professor Ale Smidts in 2002, refers to a new field of marketing that explores consumers' sensorimotor, cognitive, and affective response to marketing stimuli. According to Wikipedia's description of neuromarketing:
In simple terms, neuromarketing looks at physiological responses that consumers have to advertising and brands to determine its effects and the likelihood if one will purchase a product. The consumers' reactions will be specific to colors, tastes, sounds, and so on. The findings can help marketers create products and services that are more focused to the brain's responses, the subconscious -- not the conscious, rationale mind that is usually triggered in focus groups.
Lindstrom's research is the largest compilation of neuromarketing data available, and the results are impressive and surprising. There are several main takeaways that link back to what it means to be a human being and our primal needs and associations:
Lindstrom states that by the time we reach age 66, most of us will have seen approximately 2 million television commercials. As my five-year-old niece would say, "That's a lot of commercials." As a result, we all have the attention span of a 3 year old and the retention span of a 70 year old. As marketers, we must explore new strategies to reach our consumers on a personal, innate level that they will respond to physiologically and in some cases will have us saying, "Out with the new, in with the old."
For those interested, WNYC's Leonard Lopate conducted an interview with Martin Lindstrom, which can be found on the station's Web site.
Join us for Search Engine Strategies Chicago December 8-12 at the Chicago Hilton. The only major search marketing conference and expo in the Midwest will be packed with 60-plus sessions, multiple keynotes and Orion Strategy sessions, exhibitors, networking events, and more.

The camera setting date is probably wrong - I'll get round to re-setting it sometime - but it was bitterly cold at Lake Buttermere (UK) in late December 2013. The lighting was such that it created the effect of monochrome but for the fairly lights in the tree.
Would appreciate some constructive input from the pros.

Time must be wrong. Would be dark at this time and date. Obviously very low light and a decent interesting shot made by the artificial lights. The effect is monochrome in acway, blue and white! There is a heavy cyan cast due to light levels, but I don't mind because the lights tell me it is nearly dark. The result is I expect a bluish cast.
Not a bad image at all in the conditions. There is a slight loss of definition on the building, probably due to the liw shutter speed and 70mm focal length. Was the camera supported?
Nominating Constructive Critique
Thanks, Paul. You are right. The time and date are incorrect on my camera. I just haven't gotten around to re-setting them. And l agree, the slight loss of definition was due to the low shutter speed and the fact that it was hand-held. And that hand was freezing as well!
Input much appreciated.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Its a pleasant shot just as it is. The other lights in the building also stand out, apart from the tree lights.
The building isnt actually blue, its white, though it looks blue due to underexposure rather than time of day. Its looks OK blue as it does suggest dusk. The mod shows what it would look like had the exposure been correct, - still quite monochromatic.
If you had used a +1 exposure compensation to correct for the white building, the downside would be a slower shutter speed, and that would have certainly caused some blur unless the camera was on a solid support.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Going by your title, Brian, your subject is the New Year, so you have tried to show the pink lights in the tree and the decorative lights inside the Inn.
You chose to focus on the Inn and the pink lights are therefore blurred, because they were closer to your camera and not on the same focal plane as the Inn.
The alternative would have been to focus on the lights and to allow the Inn to become blurred, as a background to the tree and its lights.
I think this would have looked very attractive and, since those lights are the only nice bit of colour in the frame, and if they had been in focus, they would have obviously been your main point of interest. As it is, my first thought was that it was a shame they were out of focus. My eye is always drawn to out of focused areas, and I think probably more so in this case, simply because of the splash of colour.
In my modification I have cropped very tight, just allowing the tree and lights to frame the Inn and to become less of a feature, the crop concentrating on the important elements. The crop also removes the bollards at the bottom of the frame which, because there are only a few bits showing, pull the eye and start to act as a barrier to the scene.
I reduced the blue, did a Levels adjustment, sharpened, and selectively saturated a few bits on the Inn where I discovered a bit of colour lurking.

I spent 2 or 3 hours talking to M$ about it, to no avail.
The concensus was that it was my anti-virus. But I uninstalled the anti-virus and it made no difference. I did an online registry scan and it is reporting hundreds of errors.
So ... what is the best registry fixing program? Please advise.

Business Class: Always go for the gold
The world this past summer watched as thousands of gifted athletes fought for "gold" and the bragging rights to be the world's best in their respective disciplines.
However, little light is often shed on the many professionals and volunteers assisting Olympians without fanfare.
In particular, participants at this summer's London Games were supported by the behind-the-scenes talent of Naples' own Dr. Cade Copeland of LIFEstrength Family Chiropractic.
Copeland found himself in the enviable position of supporting the U.S. weightlifting, wrestling, and judo Olympic teams, with Kayla Harrison from Ohio becoming the first American judoka to win the gold medal. To make his contribution to Team USA, Copeland donated his time and covered his own expenses.
Like the dedicated Olympic athletes he so passionately admires, Copeland and his wife and business partner, Kristen, embodied both a competitive and entrepreneurial spirit when, at age 25, they opened their practice in November 2010.
A well-rounded athlete and one-time professional snowboarder, Copeland relies on a belief system similar to those of the athletes he helped service.
"The Olympics is not just a celebration of athletics, but about pouring your entire life into a single goal," he said.
Spend a few minutes in Copeland's company and his infectious, youthful enthusiasm — as well as an appealing degree of authenticity and compassion — quickly becomes evident. Moreover, his office's open floor plan promotes his goal of patient kinship — each receiving support from his care but, just like athletes, finding strength and encouragement from the relationships formed with their peers.
"The atmosphere at the Olympics — the sense of community — was incredible," he said. "I've always wanted an open environment for my patients and now I've witnessed its benefits on an international stage."
Though the business world's "walls" may be somewhat more figurative in nature, few would argue the benefits of breaking down obstacles and encouraging collaborative and productive environments.
In the spirit of a true champion, less than 18 months after opening, Cade and Kristen Copeland's practice was awarded the Star Certificate in the Naples Daily News's 2012 Southwest Florida Reader's Choice Awards. This recognition came as no surprise to patient Robyn Kyger.
"They treat us like family," Kyger said. "Their office quickly became like a second home."
Citing the connection between athletic prowess and a successful business model, Copeland theorizes: "To be a champion of business, you must first be a champion of purpose."
And his purpose: "Everybody's definition of a champion is different, but each person can live to their absolute fullest potential."
"To the Copelands, it's not about 'business,' it's about people," Kyger added. "They want everyone to be at their best."
Copeland now maintains: "My experience working at the Olympic Games brought my personal and business goals to a whole new level. Just like the athletes, I strive to be better every day."
Maintain your youthful enthusiasm, tear down unnecessary walls, embrace healthy competition and always go for the gold.

A flight attendant from Michigan, Cooper is back working in the skies.
But there was a time when ovarian cancer had her grounded with little hope of returning to work. When Cooper was undergoing chemotherapy to treat the cancer last year, she began re-planning her future, just in case. ...

Summertime and the livin is not easy.
Often times people think of a hunger as a problem plaguing us during the holiday season. Around Thanksgiving, you can find a hundred food drives in any given city. Yet in the summer, it's rare to find even one. Hunger is a problem that affects families ever single day of the year. More must be done to combat this problem on a year-round basis, rather than just highlighting it during the holidays.
What many people don't know is the valuable role our nation's food banks and schools play in providing emergency food assistance to children in need. There are tons of backpack programs and school lunch programs available for children throughout the school year. However, when summer comes, and kids are out of school, it is much more difficult to provide food for those without.
Move For Hunger challenges you to organize a food drive in your community this summer to help your neighbors in need! You can turn anything into a food drive! Here are some good examples:
Best of all - Move For Hunger can help you turn your food drive into a HUGE success. Give us a call, and we'll help you create fliers, send you collection boxes, and even send a truck to pick up all your food donations to bring to your local food bank. It's that easy!
To set up a food drive in your community, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 732-774-0521.

Enables developers to filter the output of WordPress widgets.
Sometimes developers need to filter the output of a widget that does not have its own output filter built-in. This plugin provides a filter which will allow developers to modify the complete HTML output of any widget.
This plugin is inspired by a similar filter in the Widget Logic plugin, and is useful in cases where a developer only needs to filter a widget's output, and does not require the widget visibility functionality of Widget Logic.
This plugin also provides a filter parameter containing the widget type, or base ID (i.e.
meta or
recent-posts), in addition to the more specific widget ID parameter (
meta-2 or
recent-posts-5). This allows developers to more easily filter all widgets of a specific type, rather than (as is the case with Widget Logic) only having the widget's own unique ID to work with, which will vary between individual widgets, widget areas, and WordPress installs.
Requires: 3.0 or higher
Compatible up to: 3.9.9

AMH Levels 0.7(39 Posts)
I am 31 and have no children. My partner and I were attending a fertility clinic with the hope of him under going a vasectomy reversal and part of this was testing my AMH levels through a blood test. Last week it was confirmed my levels were 0.7. I was told I wouldn't be able to conceive and IVF is not an option as my eggs are of so poor quality. As you can imagine this has came as a nasty surprise, however, my mum was completely through the menopause at my age and this is something I have raised as a concern with various doctors throughout my twenties. My periods were symptomatic with endometriosis although this was investigated with two laparoscopy's and never confirmed. Gynocologist advised my periods were a 'variation of normal' in my late twenties. We have a follow up appointment in a couple of weeks to discuss options?
Would not recommend Lister Hospital. Not what was expected. I went to Lister hospital for egg freezing. I had Dr Jaya Parikh who performed the surgery. On the cycle I was due to start, my follicles were low compared to the previous cycle. I was concerned but Dr Parikh seemed very commercial and money driven and persuaded me that l never know if the next cycle is going to be good cycle in terms of higher number of follicles. So l went ahead. She also said there was a polyp in my uterus that needs to be removed. In fact l never had a polyp and Dr Parikh proliferated and the dialator went through my uterus and l had to do an emergency laporoscopy to check for internal bleeding. I also only had 2 eggs retrieved. Very disappointing. I went to private thinking that I will get better service but please be cautious. I was otherwise healthy now l have scars from laporoscopy and a damaged uterus. Be warned of Dr Parikh, she is not good doctor, and she became very defensive, no apology at all from her. I want to write this, so that other patients do not go through what l did. I also asked for refund and they refused to give me back the £5.8k I spent on the egg freezing. My social life has taken a bad turn as a result, it has left me psychologically damaged.
thank you for all the info....i will look at researching as soon as i have more clarity with the test results....x
Hi Ella. It's the CRG clinic in Jette, Brussels. This is the link to their website. I saw Professor Dr Christophe Blockeel, and he was brilliant, but both my friends saw other doctors and apparently they were wonderful too. What I loved most about this clinic is that every situation seems to be a problem waiting to be solved - I went there as a last resort, and came out of the initial appointment full of hope again. They really seem to know what they're doing, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!! If you have any other questions then please don't hesitate to ask me, and good luck!!!
HI SHROOMBOOM- that would be fantastic -yes i would love for you to share details of the clinic...
Hi again
Glad you have a bit of hope, I remember not being able to find anyone with as low an AMH level as mine when we first found out my results. I was devastated, and thought that I would never get pregnant!
I'm actually in Belgium, and have been to two clinics here. The first was useless, and I did four rounds there, but the clinic we changed to is amazing. It's in Brussels, and treats a lot of overseas patients. Everyone speaks english, and they were just so professional. I was recommended to go there by a friend of mine who had twins via IVF after treatment there. Since my dd was born I have recommended it to another friend who had had three failed cycles elsewhere, and had almost given up hope - she's now 20 weeks pregnant It really is fantastic, and also might not be as expensive as clinics in the UK. Being in Brussels it's easy enough to get to from London on the Eurostar… If you're interested let me know and I'll give you the details
Ladies, anyone can suggest which of the London hospitals are good for fertility? I live in south london and trying to get info between Guys&Thomas, Chelsea&West, Kings and UCL hospt. any feedback would be good, thanks
Hi Shroomboom, thats great news for you! I have just been in for all of my blood tests yesterday including FSH. I will be receiving results next week. In the meantime i'l need to decide which hospital to be referred to under NHS. Did you go private? Are you also able to share your consultant/clinic/doctor? The info im getting from all of you ladies are a breath of fresh air and gives me hope!
Ella, I had an AMH level of 0.2, and managed to have my dd via IVF - so there is hope! I produced more eggs than they thought I would, which basically made me realise that AMH is just a number and does not dictate what is going to happen. Do you know what your FSH level is?
Thank you....ive also heard about Lister. im happy everything has worked for the best for you....keep us updated frm time to time.....
I am in Scotland but I have heard the Lister is good for low AMH. I am 32 also and have primary amennorrhoea.
Congratulations Sharond101!!! Good luck with everything.... If you happen to be from London can i ask the name of your consultant. Im in the process of researching clinics/hospitals and consultants. Can i ask your age and what was your problem in conceiving?
I had a private Consultation a few weeks ago with a highly appraised Doctor who recommends the use of dhea in women under 25 to improve AMH levels. I purchased some only to find out a week later I am in fact pregnant so will not need to use it. My AMH was low at 4.6. He explained that age is the more important factor in egg quality and AMH is more about quantity. Under 35 the quality of your eggs is relatively good, you just have way fewer than normal with a low AMH level. hth.
Sharond101...im 32 ....
What age are you? DHEA if you are under 35 has helped some people improve AMH
hI everyone, im very new to this site and I must admit the stories i have been reading on here has been like a breath of fresh air: I did AMH test privately, whilst abroad and the result was devastating with 0.31, which doctors have summarised that with my results i wouldnt even be able to try IVF. Im now going to have more tests done next wk and be referred to a specialist hopefuly, can anyone relate to me? i would be very interested for shared stories. IS there anything, anyone can suggest? how do i increase my chances?
lilypie13- i would be interested to hear your experiences. Godd luck with you journey....x
Hi op I'm also in paisley I have my first appt with infertility doc in 2 weeks not sure what to expect. I've not got any experience of these tests to share but ill keep everything crossed for you x
Kerry, I echo AndCake's message that AMH measures ovarian reserve, not egg quality. I had AMH levels of 0.17 2 years ago (age 29 at the time) and was advised to egg freeze (was not trying to conceive at the time). I didn't react well to the meds, and only froze 4 eggs (1 mature). That said, I got married earlier this year, and conceived naturally on my second cycle, age 31. You just never know with these things.
Good luck with everything, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
jaffajiffy- are you able to refer the specialists you visited?
Hi Coxy7- im hoping you will see this msg- my symptom are like yours- are you able to share the name of yuor clinic?
Good luck. I found yoga even if it didn't help with ttc helped me mentally. That's not to say I was strong through it all but yoga gave me an escape. Although I remember a few classes when af had just arrived trying to fight back the tears.
Thanks both sound worth a shot anyway.
Thanks! With the acupuncture, for me it was a time that I could give into my hopes and fears about infertility as I had reached the stage in RL that I no longer wanted or felt able to share my feelings. That was driven by me, not by friends/family but it's how I felt. Plus I found it very relaxing. I've had other friends recommend reflexology as the way forward which I was all set to try.
Wow amazing and congratulations! Yeah the docs leave you feeling like a write off and wondering where you're going to find the money for what they suggest. I'm going to look into acupuncture for fertility as like yourself I've heard of a few woman this has been successful for.
I'm sorry that you are going through this. I had an AMH score of 0.07 when I had just turned 39, after the consultant was only able to see one (two at a stretch) follicles. I found the news devastating, but I needed to take control and dusted myself off, and started seeing an acupuncturist that specialises in fertility. I fell pregnant within three treatments, two months after being given my AMH result. That pregnancy ended in a miscarriage but a year later I am pregnant again and in the second trimester.
I wasn't impressed with my consultant, to say the least, but I suspect he didn't want to try anything because it would mess up his success stats. I could be wrong. My resulting pregnancies came about naturally. I'm not suggesting you take this route - my choices were very much affected by already having one young child and my PCT saying IVF was a no go meant that we'd have had to travel to London - the logistics and the emotional impact were not worth it for us (I turned into crazy woman just on clomid). I would support what Andcake said though, and get to know your body.
