Great tool, Great Price
By Roger Ramjet
from Martinsburg WV
I have already put this tool to use. The fiberglass handle makes it indestructible. I like the feel and the balance of the tool. It did a fine job digging through rock and tuff soil to get my required depth.

Good, Sturdy Pick-Axe
By HJR
from Communist California, USA.
See all my reviews
Bought it yesterday for a project. Began work today. Pick works fine, seems sturdy. Price is okay, but not 1/3 the price of the one at the big box stores as indicated by another reviewer; it's half a sawbuck cheaper.(Wow, currency is swearing??)But all in all, it's a good pick, buy it if you're not afraid of manual tools. ;)
Great tool

Made a hard job easy
By edski

Needed to plant 5 blueberry bushes in rock laden clay soil. This pick helped me get it done quickly. I broke through rock and popped roots with less effort than I anticipated.

Great Tool!
By Jocko
from Stuckin, CT
First of all: The Head is 5 pounds so stop wondering. OK? 5 POUNDS. I bought this to attack the very solid ground around a rhododendron's bases that had ground to the size of a family RV. It performs as advertized, and shows no signs of stopping. BUY IT NOW. Don't waste your money paying almost 3x this at the Orange Square or Blue House place for the same thing. This is one of the best tools you can get here and it has the same lifetime warranty!

http://www.belleayre.com (845) 254-5600
A family friend with 20+ different mountains under his belt described Belleayre as the best overall option for nearby skiing when comparing it to Wyndham and Hunter, the other two mid-sized mountains near NYC and Westchester County. We had never tried any of the three, opting to go to either Southern VT or Gore/Whiteface most of the time. We decided to start with Belleayre this year, given the drive is just about 2 hours (mindful of speed limits) from Northern Westchester.
We have already gone to Belleayre twice this month and I have to say we are positively impressed with the experience. The mountain offers something for every skiing level, except the top experts and those looking for the next most difficult trail.
Variety of Trails. Nice split between beginner and intermediate trails. Most of the beginner trails are at the bottom of the mountain, while the Superchief lift would take you to the intermediate terrain on the left. The right side of the mountain (seen from the bottom) has nice challenging terrain. Moving to the right side at the top is hard. Best to go down to Lift 7, and then up from there. Then, for moving further left, ski down to the Tomahawk lift, and spend a nice day on the more challenging terrain there.
Conditions. They are always a function of what you experience in those few skiing days. We had a lot of snow in the days before, so everything was well-covered. So well that it got really powdery on Friday, after 6 inches of snow during the day. Aside from that, it appears the mountain is well groomed, snow guns cover a vast majority of the mountain, and there are some natural trails, which also cater to the expert crowd.
Lodging. Nearby options available, if you are willing to go farther, say 45 min, you can venture into Woodstock for 60s surroundings or Kingston, former NY capital, where all the convenience hotels, fast food restaurants, supermarkets, and shopping are.
Staff. Everyone seemed nice. I know, this should not make or break your experience, but a nice smile is always preferred to a grumpy noise.
Pricing. The pricing at this mountain is unbeatable for families, when staying in the area. With the promotion 1 adult pays 1 kid (up to 17yrs) skis free available from the area lodging association, for $54 on holidays two people ski. Have not seen anything comparable for a mountain this size. You stay one night and you can get a voucher for two days. Even cheaper if it is not a weekend nor holiday.
Atmosphere. Very relaxed. No lines at lifts (were were there in the middle of Presidents' Week), maybe Superchief gets a bit of traffic, but when it is stopped for some mechanical issue, which I assume is not that infrequent since in 3 days we saw it go down twice, once for 10-15 min and the second time for a few hours in the morning. Crowd seems a combo of locals, families, college students, most low key. No pushing around at all.
Lift Speed/Arrangement. Seems the design could be improved, since there is a lot of traffic at Superchief and almost none at Tomahawk. Also, there is too much walking to be done at the top to get to the other side of the mountain. Gives the impression to be an inverted mountain in its layout, with many trails generated at the top, landing in fewer at the intermediate lodge. Just look at the map. Something needs to be thought about communicating the trails at the top in a better fashion. Lift speed is not great, but I should also say that since there are no lines, this is minor issue, the arrangement is more worrisome.
Food. Pretty standard cafeteria fare. Greasy. Too bready. A lot of fat. Expensive as well. Seems a constant at every mountain. I wonder why we are not seeing a better food offering at these cafeterias that matches how are consumption patterns are changing... Which is also easier to prepare... Food for thought... No pun intended! As of today, you are best served bringing your own lunch despite the hassle, or be prepared for what you are going to get.
Multiple Day Tickets. Any idea why the system cannot do more than 2 days at a time? I wonder that too....
Nighlife in Area. None. This is a State Park, so you will need to go to neighboring towns for that.
Overall, a great experience close to home. Can ask for more.

Guys & Girls:
You'll find all sorts of guys at University of Texas: city boys, rednecks, all different races and lots of country boys. The girls are pretty much from everywhere all different races. They are incredibly hot, for the most part. If you aren't from around here, it'll take a little while to get used to the accent.
Local Area:
Austin has a lot to offer. Lake Travis for a lot of different water activities like canoeing, boating, etc. Barton springs mall, Domain for shopping. Barton springs pool, Hamilton pool, Zilker park and other places to hang out. Lots of good restaurants, both high-end and low-end. Austin is famous for food trailer too.
It is very competitive to get into some majors, but if anything this helps students to really think and be dedicated to what they choose. When I started college, I really wanted to be a business major but couldn't get into the business school. I was so bummed out, but then after my first calculus class I knew I would not have lasted in business. I am now a government major pursuing law, which has become much more of a dream to me than pursuing business. The Government major was much less competitive to get into because it falls under Liberal arts, and wont beat down my GPA to get into law school! Win-win.
The School is very strict on academic rules, but in retrograde it is one of the top schools so it is to be expected. My nutrition test required everyone to put their belongings at the front of the class, with no hats and if you have a jacket you must be wearing it and can't take it off. I does not think it affects us horribly as most students are used to the academic rigor.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are a plethora of restaurants from many cultural entities making it truly a fun thing to find something to eat for lunch. Our large indian, chinese, and muslim populations has led to some amazing food choices!
The football games make my college experience so much fun! I love the thrill of walking up the stadium knowing I am about to watch some amazing Texas football!!
Off-Campus Housing:
There are some pretty awesome apartments in West Campus, but they can be pretty pricey, and the landlords do not always take care of the complaints right away.
UT is ranked in the top 30 for best colleges in the world. The McCombs business school is top notch, and most professors are extremely helpful. There are a few professors that could be better, but overall, the academics at UT is amazing and the school produces the best.
There is a lot of diversity on campus, and the school encourages celebration of this diversity by allowing different cultural organizations to hold activities and events to showcase their traditions.
Greek Life:
UT is full of greek organizations, it is a really big scene.
Off-Campus Housing:
West campus has beautiful apartments if you can handle the price. Everything is near campus but the closer you get the more expensive it gets.There's the option of living in Riverside, however you would have to take the bus since there is no parking around campus.
My first year I received a grant of $12 and a bunch of loans.Don't be discouraged, it happens in every college you go to.I applied for several private scholarships and ended up getting them, so there's ways to pay for college.Keep a good GPA.It will help if you are a minority and/or have low income.
Sometimes Austin gets too humid/ hot, specially at the end of the academic year (April-May).You will see everybody in running shorts.
Campus Food:
Kinsolving dining hall is by far the best (excluding the VIP section in J2 of course) They are buffet style: they have chef made section, the plate of the day, wraps, then fries, hot dogs, burgers. On the other side they have veggies pasta, salad bar.Soups, cereal and dessert are available too. Fruit cocktail or you can ask for it at the "plate of the day" section. for drinks they have soft drinks, juice (oj, apple, cranberry) and they also have milk, chocolate mink and a capucchino machine.In JCL they have different plates and there a little bit more expensive than Kinsolving.J2 is also buffet style, very similar to Kinsolving. The only difference is that you have the VIP line.There are other places to eat fast food in campus, like in the Union or SAC.They have chick fil a, tacobell, sushi, taco cabana, wendy's, etc.Overall the food is good but nothing out of this world.
They are all Macs, but can be confusing sometimes.
Drug Safety:
If people are doing drugs, they're usually just smoking pot. Drinking is a much more popular activity.
Party Scene:
Lots of frat parties on weekends, pretty much all bars (and other 6th street venues) are 21+Bus rides downtown and around campus are free for students
There are a ton of athletic activities at UT, with wonderful facilities and numerous recreational places.
There are a lot of different races and religions at UT, and they are all accepted and have equal opportunities.
Party Scene:
There are always things going on during the weekend. Even if you are under 18, there are places to go with live music.
Health & Safety:
Campus is large and there are a lot of people, there are small thefts everyday. Police does a wonderful job, we get email and text alerts when it is not safe. They test the sirens out at least once a month, these sirens set out instructions to to tell us how to get into a safe place.
Guys & Girls:
Sorority girls often wear oversized T-shirts and Nike shorts and sneakers, for example. Overall the students have a hipster/retro style, but you'll see a diverse population.
Campus Quality:
The architecture of the school's buildings gives the campus a cool vibe, and Gregory Gym is amazing.
In the summer and early fall it is very hot and you'll probably sweat getting from class to class. In the colder months, though, it varies from cold to warm -- you may wear your winter coat one week and be back to wearing shorts the next. You'll need both winter and summer clothing in your closet for most of the year but it more often than not feels like fall all year once you get past the sweaty summer.
I'm very impressed with the quality of my professors and the curriculum offered.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Most students agree that they have loved their time here at UT, and they wouldn't want to be anywhere else. College is the best time of your life, and I can't think of a better place to spend it than at the University of Texas. Students get a great education while having an awesome college town with everything at their disposal. Don't try to graduate early. Enjoy your time at UT—go cheer on the Longhorns at all the home games for all sports: football, basketball, baseball, intramurals. See the amenities that the Forty Acres has to offer—the Harry Ransom Center, go to our libraries and see our more than eight million volumes. Go to Gregory Gym and the Rec Center—you have a free gym membership for four years or more—use it.
I came to UT convinced that I was going to transfer to a school in California in the spring. I spent two days here before school started and I never wanted to leave, even to go home and visit my parents and high school friends! I couldn't leave because I was always afraid that I would miss something because there was always something exciting going on. If you are worried about the fact that UT is so big, don't. All you have to do is find your niche, and everything else should fall into place. You can find it within your dorm, apartment, organization, fraternity, sorority, or classmates. Although, at times, it may seem overwhelming, UT is not nearly as big as it sounds. All you have to do is make friends, which you will, and the campus will seem infinitely smaller. Come join us!

I wonder if there is a Dish Network subscriber in the Philadelphia area who could tell me if the Leafs Pens game was blacked out on on the NHL Network last night.
Posted 29 December 2008 - 04:56 PM
I have D* and can tell you D* blacked me out two weeks in a row and I am not even in Pittsburgh. I am over 200 miles east of Pittsburgh over near Lancaster, PA. All D* will tell me is that they are supposed to black me out.

Featured: LBB's Most Loved Boot and Sandal Sale
Now that we are on the fast track to the holiday's and winter, what better time to have a sale?! This week, enjoy major discounts on both wool boots and our favorite sandals.
It may be November, but with deals like these, what better time to stock up on next summers best trends, or this winters must have necessities?
Happy shopping!
Tuesday Motivation
With the holiday season quickly approaching (Hello, November!), it's safe to say the next few weeks are going to be a whirlwind. Days filled with waking up early, making deadlines, collaborating and goal setting, seeing friends and family, planning and organizing and somehow, finding time to relax – it all seems so daunting and quite overwhelming. When the days seem too short but the to-do lists continues to grow, remind yourself that nothing is impossible and you are capable of getting anything and everything done, as long as you put your mind to it.
Below are some snippets of advice from LBBNY on the topic of goal setting, planning and getting things done:
- "Never feel like asking for help is a negative, asking for help leads to learning and growth, as well as accomplishing things you may not have felt confident to do alone."
- "Taking the time to plan things out may seem like a waste, but seeing an outline in front of you really helps prioritize so you can better work to achieve the end goal."
- "Taking the lead and offloading work onto a reliable colleague is beneficial to you to grow as a manager, but also to the colleague to give them the change to learn and grow while working on something new."
- "Don't stress. Period. Things will go wrong, things won't always work out, problems may arise and the end result may not be what you had hoped for. Instead of turning those less-than-positive situations into negative stress, look at them and analyze what you did and think about what you could do better, and then go back and try again."
- "Failure is a state of mind – the only time failure occurs is when you give up."
Take each day as a new adventure, and attack each new problem with a positive and optimistic attitude!
Halloween Week – Costumes and Parties
It's one of the most spook-tacular weeks of the year and we are spending it planning for some fun and festive Halloween parties this weekend! With the LBB office full of so many different personalities and people from all different areas both in and outside of Manhattan, we decided to band together and figure out what everyone is doing and how they are planning for their big nights.
Local Halloween party at a friends house: One of the lovely ladies at LBB is heading to a friends house in her city. "It's going to be a really casual yet fun vibe, I'm excited to be going out but also not to have to feel the pressure that is sometimes associated with huge groups of people that you encounter at the bars or in Manhattan." To get ready for her night, she is getting ready with her roommate and best friend, making some casual dinner and drinks and slowly easing into their night. "I like getting ready slowly, taking my time and not feeling rushed. By having my friends over before the party, we can have a few drinks and take our time, laugh a little and get ourselves in a fun 'ready to go' mindset before entering a house with 2-dozen people for the night."
Costume of choice: "My best friend, roommate and I are dressing up as the characters of the Darjeeling Limited, our favorite Wes Anderson film."
Going out, NYC Style: We love, love, love being in Manhattan during the day. The pace, the people, the indescribable amount of things happening at once. It's crazy to think that the daytime Manhattan we experience is a fraction of what goes on after dark. "Going out in NYC is definitely an experience," says our Marketing Coordinator. "It's always a blast and is made better when you have a group of friends. It can sometimes be a lot to handle but you meet so many people and don't have such a pressure to be perfect considering there is a 85% chance you will never see the people you encounter ever again (CRAZY, right?!)."
How is she starting her night? "Definitely sleeping in as late as possible Saturday so I can stay up and not get sleepy later in the night. Having friends over to get ready is always a must, it gets the night started right and it's always fun to have your friends opinions and to laugh a bit before a big night."
Costume of choice: "My girlfriends and I are going out as garden gnomes – silly and fun, the perfect group costume."
Hosting a Halloween party at your house: Having a party at your house is both fun and daunting as you not only have to get yourself ready, but you also have to set up everything at your house prior to entertaining a dozen friends. How do you tackle such a big task? Just ask our Marketing Manager who throws an annual Halloween party with her closest friends.
How do you prepare to have so many people over? "I start really getting things ready the Wednesday before (so today!) and go to the store to get all the necessary food and last minute decorations. Then I really begin the prep-work on the night before, pre-cook anything that I can and get everything that needs to be set up done – check to make sure the radio and music is working and get the small necessities out like extra garbage cans, napkins and toilet paper!
What kind of food and drinks do you get to really get the party started? "I am a big fan of finger foods, especially at lively parties that are not sit-down. I like to get the basics such as cheese and veggies, but also like to make some dips, a meat platter and some bread options to make sure everyone is satisfied and full. My friends are also great and almost always show up with some treats to share as well! As far as the drinks, always make sure to have the basics such as soda, water and some juice like lemonade and iced tea. I like to make a few alcoholic punches and then have some 'make your own' cocktail options. My friends usually come with their favorite drink of choice as well which is great and ensures everyone has something they like."
How about the decorations, do you go all out? "I do love to decorate for all holidays, but I do take into consideration the planning and cleanup associated so I keep it fun but minimal. Some streamers, table cloths and a fog machine are all a definitely must! Music makes the party so we keep the music on rotation through a variety of genres."
Costume of choice: "I'm going to be a be a ballerina!"
As always, we LOVE all things Pinterest, so be sure to checkout our Halloween board that we posted today! It is full of great recipes, decorations and costume ideas.

Friday Night Girls Night
After a long week of commuting, working, cooking and cleaning, there is nothing we look forward to more at the LBB offices than planning a good girls night. There is something to relaxing about a face mask, a good movie, some tea (or a great cocktail!) and some much needed girl talk and laughter. Here are some of our absolute musts for our girls night, what are some of your favorite Friday night necessities?
Somehow between Monday and Friday, we tend to lose out desire to really 'girl-ify' ourselves. Something about the commute, the late nights and the lack of sleep makes us less focused on looking the part and more focused on getting everything done. Our perfectly blown out locks end up in top knots, and our shiny new polish ends up chipped and lackluster. To make up for the end of week slump, we love spoiling ourselves with some face masks, a nice steam in the shower, and an at home mani/pedi.
Face Masks: LBBNY Corporate is composed of so many different faces, both literally and figuratively, so our face mask needs are very different. Below are some of our favorites depending on our skin types (and believe us, we have been through trial and error with almost everything you can find at Duane Reade).
For tired, lackluster skin: Alba Botanica Even Advanced, Deep Sea Facial Mask ($7 on Amazon.com) – Our Manager Heather swears by this mask, so much that she has a stock pile of it available at her house at any given time. "I have such temperamental skin and this is the first mask that I can use without having residual redness or dryness. I breakout often so when I see the signs of a breakout coming on, I wash my face and then slather this on. When I wake up the next day, you would have no idea I had problematic skin. It also makes everything so smooth so makeup application is a breeze!"
For breakouts and uneven skin tone: Aria Starr Beauty Dead Sea Mud Mask ($15 at Amazon.com) – This mask may scare away some of your friends at first with its dark coloring and opacity however, the minute you wash this bad boy off, you will never look back. This clay mask minimized our pores, eliminated 90% of our stubborn blackheads and left our skin radiating for days (even the guys in the office noticed!).
For dry skin in need of some hydration: Viva Labs The Finest Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil ($11 on Amazon.com) – Sometimes, simplicity is key. We found that coconut oil is not only a saving grace on hair and our bodies, but also on that stubborn cold-weather skin. For best results, we washed our faces normally, and then took a washcloth, dampened it and zapped it in the microwave for 30-seconds. We then placed it on our faces to open our pores and loosen any dry skin, probably around 2-3 minutes (make sure it is a comfortable temperature first). After, take a teaspoon (or more if needed!) of Viva Labs coconut oil and gently massage it all over in small circular and upward motions. We then repeated the steamed cloth step (with the coconut oil still on our faces) and then wiped the excess off with the washcloth. Do this before bed and you will wake up with baby soft, hydrated skin.
DIY: We love Pinterest for anything DIY! Taking at home ingredients and making custom masks and scrubs is also a great way to see what your skin does and doesn't like, as well as getting glam without breaking the bank!
Fingers and Toes: Nothing makes us feel more put together than a great mani/pedi. Even on days where we find ourselves in leggings and an over sized chambray, a great manicure in a bold color makes us feel as polished as we would if we were wearing heels and a little black dress. Here are some of our absolute favorite fall colors.
Essie "Sole Mate"
Essie "Bahama Mama"
Essie "Tomboy No More" (LBB crowd fave!)
Essie "Style Cartel"
Essie "Carry On"
Even if you don't fully pay attention, having the perfect chick-flick playing in the background while you enjoy a glass of champagne, your face mask and some fresh manicures is always fun, especially if you pick one of these top 33 must-sees!
Our top 3:
- When Harry Met Sally
- How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
- Bridget Jones Diary
Lets see a raise of hands of everyone that needs a good drink at the end of the week *entire room raises hands* (yeah, that's what we thought). We love a good cocktail to loosen us up, bring on the giggles and turn an average night into one you won't forget.
If you're like some of the ladies at LBB, you live to get dressed and go out (who doesn't?!), but for the sake of a good girl's night (hey, you can finish up that mask and pause When Harry Met Sally, throw on those heels and go out! Who says girls night has to be ALL night at home?) here are some of our absolute favorite cocktails.
French 75
Gin and Tonic
Dark and Stormy

Back to the Future
If you haven't caught on to what today is yet, I'll give you a hint – it may or may not be the day in Back to the Future II when Marty McFly finally arrives in 2015 – 30 years ahead of when the movie was written.
The original "Back to the Future" premiered July 3, 1985. Starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, the film follows high school student Marty as he takes scientist Doc Brown's time machine to the 1950s and then must fight his way back to the present, awkwardly encountering younger versions of his mother and father in the process. The Oct. 21 date is actually at the center of the movie's sequel, where — you guessed it — Marty travels to the future and inadvertently messes up the present.
— IBTimes.com, October 20, 2015
Along with Marty's amazing styling of his infamous puffer vest, here are 27 Facts About 'Back To The Future' that you had no idea about.
As for the predictions, the writers of Back to the Future II had absolutely no idea that their guess of the Cubs winning the 2015 World Series was even an option. Believe it or not, that was the lowest thing on their list of things they actually thought would be a possibility…guess the jokes on them!
If you haven't seen the movies yet (there are 3!), you can find them on Amazon.com. Prime members can watch them for free for the month of October (you can sign-up for a 30 day trial if you haven't already).

"The timescale was just too tight to make it, unfortunately," said a Force India spokesman.
McLaren, 50 percent owned by Bahrain's sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat, confirmed separately that they were not going either.
A Pirelli spokeswoman said Ferrari, Mercedes, champions Red Bull and sister team Toro Rosso would attend the Dec. 17-19 session at the Sakhir circuit to test the Italian supplier's 2014 tyres.
The governing FIA had announced on Monday that all six teams had accepted an invitation to test.
Pirelli had sought special permission to test to get as much feedback as possible on their planned 2014 tyres after having to revise their 2013 ones following a spate of blowouts at the British Grand Prix in June.
The first regular pre-season test with all the teams will be in Jerez, Spain, at the end of January.

To the Editor.—
Lessons are still being learned from thalidomide. On May 11 and Sept 7 of 1961, as a member of the Food and Drug Administration in conferences with representatives of the US applicant to market the drug, I questioned its safety in pregnancy.My reasons were theoretical. Our attention had been drawn to published information that thalidomide could cause peripheral neuropathy. The reaction was unpredictable for a given individual and might regress at least to degree if the drug were discontinued, but it could reasonably be expected to progress with continued administration of the drug. It seemed possible that with repeated use, a mother who was escaping the reaction might thus give no warning that a developing fetus was experiencing it to increasing and perhaps devastating degree.With the shocking information that developed soon afterward of the teratogenic effects of thalidomide, my speculation seemed just a pale coincidence:

Shouldn't there be a 'delete' option somewhere? Should write a review for the website's user interface. :P

Nov 21, 2013There are no in app purchase this time and it's still a great strategy game, but Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies does nothing to improve the look or the gameplay of the previous chapter.
Nov 18, 2013I suspect most people will be more than satisfied with just one of the two games, but for the diehards and gamers who missed out on the first one, Pacific Skies is the one to get.
Nov 14, 2013Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies isn't a drastic re-invention of the original, but adding more content and refined gameplay to an already impressive strategy game is hard to argue with.

4th Annual Live Well Project to benefit at-risk San Diego youth
The single-day event teaches young women about self-esteem, healthy eating habits, fitness practices and more
The special day will consist of seminars about healthy eating & exercise; yoga and zumba demonstrations;
"The idea for The Live Well Project was born when I realized my love for educating, motivating and getting people moving in the right direction," said Michelle Weinstein, founder of The Live Well Project. "What better way to make a difference in the young lives of the many young girls on the verge of crisis or homelessness."
The Live Well Project, emceed by Master of Ceremony Monique Marvez, will run from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and will address the most fundamental, but often overlooked, guidelines on balancing all aspects of being strong, happy and healthy.
Dance performance will be led by Culture Shock and IDK dance studios. Teen Now California and YourBuddhi Yoga will lead the yoga demonstrations. All participants will receive donations from yoga companies, nutrition companies, local fitness facilities, clothing and sporting companies. The Live Well project will also hold a raffle with prizes including workout clothes, gym bags, shoes, purses and much more.
Event sponsors include FITzee Foods, D-Lux Events, Awesamness, San Diego Hall of Champions, iDeal for a Cause, Party City and Jeans for Justice.
To register or for more information, visit http://www.thelivewellproject.org/
For more information about the 4th Annual Live Well Project Day, visit www.thelivewellproject.org.
About The Live Well Project
The Live Well Project was born in 2010 when Michelle Weinstein (owner and CEO of FITzee Foods), Ray Gross (specialized medical consultant) and Meeshie Nguyen (Founder, D-Lux events) met to create an educational and motivational event for at-risk girls in San Diego. The event aims to empower young women to rise above difficult circumstances to live a happy and healthy life through healthy eating seminars, fitness demonstrations, inspirational speakers and goal-setting sessions.
In San Diego, there are nearly 2,000 young adults without a home. Some run away from abusive homes, some have lost their families to illness or violence. These at risk youth need support, education, inspiration, leadership, empowerment and awareness. The founders behind the Live Well Project believe that their expertise and passion for health and fitness can help achieve these goals. Learning to nourish and strengthen young women's bodies is an important step in taking control of their lives.

Using Shareaholic 184.108.40.206.
In FF and Chrome, discovered that Shareaholic is overriding the Video links in the body content. Each image in the body content links to a video.
View the website in FF or Chrome here.
This picture shows the shareholic overlay: link
Have had Shareaholic on the site for 1+ years. This issue just started occurring.
You can hover over the first few pixels of the 2 top images and the links work, but because Shareholic overlays the rest of the content, the links for all the other images no longer work.
I tried overriding the css for .shareaholic-recommendations-container and .shareaholic-recommendations-header within my style.css to move the margins down, but to no avail (perhaps I don't have it right), so took out the css in my style.css that I added.
Inspect Element in FF is saying that it's the css in your recommendations.css file that appears to be offsite??? When I clicked off ...bhn4.cloudfront.net/assets/pub.recommendations.css, through the FF style editor, I was able to hover and get the links for all the images. But then the styling is off on "you may also like images" :-(.
What can we do to make my client happy and continue to use your plugin?

Diabetes Health Center
Weight Loss Surgery May Help Moderately Obese, Too
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, June 4 (HealthDay News) -- For the extremely obese, the benefits of weight-loss surgery generally outweigh the risks of the procedure. Now, new research suggests that the same might be true for less-obese people as well.
For those who are mildly or moderately obese, weight-loss surgery can improve type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol more effectively than conventional diabetes management and lifestyle changes, new research suggests.
"We're seeing a pattern in these studies. There's a definite impact on the diabetes after surgery. Some people don't respond so well, but most do," said Dr. Bruce Wolfe, a professor of surgery and co-director of bariatric surgery at Oregon Health & Science University, in Portland.
But, he added, "We need longer-term studies to identify who's the right candidate for surgery, and we need a number of years of follow-up and a fairly large study population to see if the diabetes improvements after surgery prevent the heart disease, blindness and kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes."
Results of the two new studies, as well as an accompanying editorial written by Wolfe and colleagues, are in the June 5 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Body mass index (BMI) is a measurement calculated with height and weight that's used to estimate the amount of body fat someone has. A BMI of 18 to 24.9 is considered normal weight while 25 to 29.9 is overweight, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mild to moderate obesity is between 30 and 39.9, and 40 and above is morbidly (or extremely) obese.
Normally, weight-loss surgeries are done on people who have a BMI of 40 or above. The surgery is also done on people who have a BMI of 35 or more if they have heart disease risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or sleep apnea, according to Wolfe.
The first study was a review of previous research on non-morbidly obese people with type 2 diabetes. The authors searched the medical literature and among other related studies, found three randomized controlled clinical trials that compared weight-loss surgery (also known as bariatric surgery) to nonsurgical treatments, such as diabetes medications and lifestyle changes.

The Return of the Native
Thomas Hardy
Basic Information about the Authuor:
Brief Summary of the Novel
Location in The Catcher in the Rye
Why was it included?
Thomas Hardy
Basic Information about the Authuor:
- born on June 2, 1840
- English
- published 14 novels and as many as 40 short stories
- wrote his first book in his late twenties after giving up a life as an architect
- died on January 11, 1928
- for more information on the author, please visit: http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/hardy/bio.html
|Thomas Hardy
Brief Summary of the Novel
- tells the story of a confusing love tangle between five main characters: Diggory Venn, Thomasin Yeobright, Damon Wildeve, Clym Yeobright, and Eustacia Vye
- Eustacia, a confident and wild-natured woman, dies in the novel's climax by drowning
- the novel ends in the only stable relationship between Diggory and Thomasin
Location in The Catcher in the Rye
- "Then I started wondering like a bastard what the one sitting next to me, that taught English, thought about, being a nun and all, when she read certain books for English. Books not necessarily with a lot of sexy stuff in them, but books with lovers and all in them. Take old Eustachian Vye, in The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy. She wasn't too sexy or anything, but even so you can't help wondiering what a nun thinks about when she reads about old Eustacia" (page 110).
- Holden references it as a "classical book" that he read and enjoyed (page 18)
Why was it included?
- the novel was extremely controversial when it was published because it openly documented scandalous sexual relationships
- Holden is both intrigued by the world of sex and scared of it, just as the general public was by the topic of this book
- Eustacia is a bold woman who desperately wants to live a more adventure-filled life. She is also a misfit who is scorned by many for fear she is a witch.
- Holden can relate to this longing to explore the world
- Holden is also a loner who is does not fit in his community or society

Nice plugin. However the way jQuery is being
jammed into the code is really not cool at all and causing conflicts with plugins that use the method of enqueing jQuery that WordPress recommends.
Specifically rsvp_frontend.inc.php at line 290:
$form = "<script type=\"text/javascript\" language=\"javascript\" src=\"".get_option("siteurl")."/wp-content/plugins/rsvp/jquery.js\"></script>\r\n";

Peacocks in child abuse storyline
Claire flees Weatherfield, but returns to clear her name - and it emerges that little Aadi got the injuries in a fight with Simon Barlow. However she tells Ashley that they must leave for good.

Beyond caring about these two. Can Graeme buy the butcher's?
- 3 July 2010 at 12:28
- Flaming Nora said...
Yes, interesting -wonder who'll take over the butchers or if it'll close down and reopen as something else. Can't see Graeme taking it over as he's got no money but Roy's Rolls could extend into it.

I dont like the sound of this, couldnt they just have had them move away?
I wonder what will happen to the butchers too
- 3 July 2010 at 14:11
I was never all that interested in this couple; but it seems most of their problems involved their kids, and now this.
I suppose it had to be something really big to make them wish to leave "the street" for good.
So many changes for such a small street, when one character 'goes' it affects many others.
- 3 July 2010 at 15:07
I like the Peacocks, and this sounds like a poor storyline for them to go out on. Dev and Sunita have known the Peacocks for a long time, they know that they're good parents, so it seems a bit extreme for them to accuse Ashley and Claire of child abuse. The rest of the street also know that they're a decent family. Many other characters are 'allowed' to stay on the Street even with criminal records...John Stape kidnapped Rosie and is now accepted on the Street. So we're supposed to believe that the Peacocks feel forced out even though they have done nothing wrong?
- 3 July 2010 at 16:09
No this is a horrible idea. Ashley and Dev are good friends, don't ruin that :O

On Wednesday night, the Washington Wizards had the chance to win in dramatic fashion, and if you were listening to their TV announcers, that's exactly what happened — only it didn't. The Wizards found themselves down one to the Pistons with only seconds remaining. Washington had a chance to come away with a win and extend its three-game winning streak. The ball moved to Trevor Azira in the corner, and he launched a three that hit nothing but net — but in the form of an airball. The scene on the court was somber for the Wizards, but that didn't stop play-by-play announcer Steve Buckhantz from celebrating the game-winning shot he believed went in. Yelling his signature phrase, "Dagger!", Buckhantz's view of the buzzer-beater led him to believe that Azira had nailed the clutch shot. He continued to celebrate the last-second heroics alongside color commentator Phil Chenier until eventually the two were clued in. "The dagger has been retracted," Buckhantz eventually told viewers. Check out the play call that Buckhantz won't live down for quite a while below.

Claire Martin (singer)

Claire Martin, OBE (born 1967) is an English jazz singer.
Life and career[edit]
Martin was born in Wimbledon, London. She grew up in a house "full of music" thanks to jazz loving parents. She cites Ella Fitzgerald´s Song Books as being a major influence which inspired her to major at singing at the Doris Holford Stage School and later to study singing in both New York and London. Her professional career started with her first engagement aged 19 which was singer in a hotel band in Bournemouth. After this she worked aboard the QE2, where she sang in the piano bar for two years.[1]
At the age of 21, Martin formed her own jazz quartet. In 1991, she was signed by the Scottish jazz label Linn Records, and her debut album, The Waiting Game, was released in 1992. The album was well reviewed and was selected by The Times as one of their "Albums of the Year". Later that year, she opened for Tony Bennett at the Glasgow International Jazz Festival.
Martin has since released 17 CDs with the label, collaborating with musical luminaries including Martin Taylor, John Martyn, Stephane Grappelli, Kenny Barron, Richard Rodney Bennett, Jim Mullen and Nigel Hitchcock on many of these recordings.
Martin has performed all over Europe and Asia with her trio and, until his death in 2012, with Richard Rodney Bennett in an intimate cabaret duo setting both in England and in America where they played to sell out crowds at venues including the prestigious Algonquin Hotel in New York City. Martin has also been a featured soloist with the Halle Orchestra, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, the RTE Concert Orchestra, the BBC Big Band and the BBC Concert Orchestra. She has co-presented BBC Radio 3's Jazz Line Up since 2000 and has interviewed many of her musical heroes such as Pat Metheny, the late Michael Brecker, Brad Mehldau and Andre Previn. Her 2009 CD A Modern Art prompted Jazz Times USA to claim: "She ranks among the four or five finest female jazz vocalists on the planet".
Martin won both the 2009 and 2010 'Best Vocalist' category at the British Jazz Awards and toured extensively throughout the UK, Scandinavia, Russia and China, appearing with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and her world-class trio. 2011 was a significant year for Martin as she made her debut at the Lincoln Center in New York with pianist Bill Charlap and went on to perform for the third time at the famous Algonquin Hotel for a three-week residency with Rodney Bennett. Their album Witchcraft gained much critical acclaim and was "unequivocally recommended" by Jazzwise magazine.
In August 2011 Martin recorded with jazz pianist Kenny Barron and an all-star American lineup for her fifteenth album for Linn records. Too Much in Love to Care received 5 star reviews and prompted Jazz Journal to state that she is "one of the finest jazz singers in the world today". The album went on to win the 'Best New Recording' award at the 2012 British Jazz Awards. 2013 was spent touring the new material in the UK and Europe and embarking on a new show The Two of Us with conductor John Wilson, Joe Stilgoe, Mark McGann and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, celebrating the music of Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
Martin embarked on a series of collaborations with The Montpellier Cello Quartet. The arrangements were especially written for her by Rodney Bennett, Mark Anthony Turnage and Django Bates, and this new chamber jazz ensemble toured throughout 2014 to promote a new album on Linn Records called Time and Place, which featured singer/pianist Joe Stilgoe, who became Martin's new cabaret partner. A highlight for this duo with Stilgoe was a sell out performance at the Wigmore Hall in December where they celebrated the songs of Paris.
In June 2011, Martin was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2011 Birthday Honours for her Services to Jazz.[2]
She currently lives in Brighton with her husband and daughter.

Getting the best shot in low light
My daughter will be having her dance recital Saturday. It's in the high school gym. I tried taking some pictures from the balcony today, and they are super-noisy. During the recital we will be seated in the bleachers that are on the gym floor, not the balcony. I used my 18-105 lens today, and that is most likely the lens I'll be using Saturday.
I will be approximately 50 feet from my daughter during the recital.
Any tips for the best quality, low-noise pics are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I was using P-mode today, and most of the shots were 1/60, f/5.6, iso400 @105mm.
I know I need to stop relying on Program Auto mode so much and learn to use all my settings Manually. I should set that as a goal for this summer. But any help and tips for Saturday so I can get the best pics possible would be great. I appreciate any comments.
If I've left out any info, just ask, and I'll post. TIA!!
#1. "RE: Getting the best shot in low light" | In response to Reply # 0
You don't necessarily have to use manual. Many experienced photographers use the "semi-auto" modes such as Aperture Priority. This way you have control over what the camera is doing at least partially.
Use Aperture Priority, set the aperture wide open and see where the shutter speed falls at the ISO you're using. If the shutter speed is getting too slow, bump up the ISO. At certain moments a shutter speed of 1/60th may be adequate, but it's going to be a little slow to stop action. The 18-105mm doesn't have a very wide maximum aperture especially at the 105mm end, so you're at a little disadvantage because of that. Do you have a 50mm f/1.8 or an 85mm f/1.8?
Try to use the lowest ISO you can to minimize noise, but also be sure the exposure is OK as underexposure will create noise. Even if the dancers are properly exposed, the darker areas of the image may be noisy when you're shooting inside. Are the images you say are noisy correctly exposed?
#2. "RE: Getting the best shot in low light" | In response to Reply # 1
Hi, Alan. Thank you for the reply. I do have a 50mm lens, and I plan to try it out at the rehearsal Friday. I will be closer, so I hope it works out better than the 18-105. I will try Aperture Priority and see how it turns out. Thanks so much for the advice.
Is there a way to post a picture here in this thread? I'll post one I took Sunday, if I can.
#3. "RE: Getting the best shot in low light" | In response to Reply # 2
I just shot a recital in the last 60 days. I echo setting the camera on Aperture priority. You might also want to consider auto ISO with a minimum shutter speed. Using a 70-200 wide open at f2.8, I set the auto ISO at a max of 3200 and a minimum shutter speed of either 1/250 or 1/500 (can't remember and I'm not home to check). I then took some test shots, checked the histogram and adjusted exposure compensation until I had just the slightest amount of blinkies.

If you use the 50mm wide open the depth of field will be quite shallow. Maybe stop down a little, f/2.8 or so. You'll still be at wider aperture than your 18-105mm can muster.
#5. "RE: Getting the best shot in low light" | In response to Reply # 4
Did you set the iso to a higher value?
Use a monopod if you're hand holding technique requires it - will keep the blurry shakes down
Maybe rent a longer telephoto like the 70-200/2.8 as another poster mentioned.

Let's start out trusting P-mode in at least this: if it thought that 1/60 at f/5.6 at iso 400 would work, AND the images came out well exposed, that should certainly be your starting point, noise or no noise. If the 18-105 is like other Nikon zooms then the minimum aperture is reached in the vicinity of 50mm. Even with the VR, you need to worry about subject motion blur. You will need to exercise care if you shoot substantially slower than 1/60, so the only escape routes to higher shutter speed you have left are either the iso setting or a faster lens.
What you don't mention is whether the test shots you have taken represent the lighting that will be used. If there will be no theatrical lighting and you will be relying on the ambient gym lighting then, unless they have more light up their sleeve, what you've seen is likely to be what you'll get. If there will be some additional lighting and a corresponding dimming of the ambient, then things might be more hopeful but can get more challenging.
In any case, consider using center-weight or spot metering - especially with theatrical lighting. You don't care about the background, you want the dancers to be correctly exposed. If they are correctly exposed then they won't be noisy, it really is as simple as that. At 50 feet and f/5.6 your 105mm lens will have a depth of field of about 15 feet, so, as long as your focus point does not leave your daughter (or the dancer of current interest), you should only need to worry about blur. 1/60 sec. may seem a bit dicey for dancers but if you can time your shots to their holds at set poses, even that can work satisfactorily. See the first photo - D300, 50mm 1.4D, 1/15 sec., f/2.8, iso 1600 (not a typo - 1/15 sec.- notice the blur in the hands of the second dancer). Don't get too impressed by the camera's extra zero. Same sensor as a D90 but the D90 possesses the later, more competent implementation. With a D90 I have shot satisfactorily at iso 1600 and above. See the second photo - D90, 35mm 2D, 1/100 sec., f/3.2, iso 3200. Both these photos are uncropped and were taken at rehearsals which allowed me to roam around close in with a short, fast lens. Same church, a few years apart. Some relatively strong spots are on in photo 1, not in photo 2.
Noise starts to be a problem if the image either needs to be severely cropped or its exposure substantially boosted in post. At 50 feet an early teen standing erect should just about fit into a frame in landscape orientation shot with a focal length of 105 - even shorter if her arms are stretched over her head. This suggests that the tradeoff between the 18-105 and a faster, shorter prime might be close to a wash - with a short prime at 50 feet you'll be cropping more.

You shouldn't be seeing any significant noise at ISO 400. Increase it up to 1600 if necessary. Peter

Great shots and excellent advice. The only thing I would add is that with the 105, 1/15 is pretty slow even with VR. A monopod or tripod would be a valuable tool.

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-3315) Should UCS_BASIC character types have to look at collation elements when dealing with escape character in the LIKE clause?
|Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:10:34 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3315?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12558014#action_12558014 ] Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-3315: ---------------------------------------------- I would say the check is just wrong. Why does the number of collation elements for an escape character need to be one? The escape character is there to escape special characters, it has nothing to do with collation. > Should UCS_BASIC character types have to look at collation elements when dealing with escape character in the LIKE clause? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-3315 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3315 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Task > Components: JDBC > Affects Versions: 10.3.1.4, 10.3.2.1, 10.4.0.0 > Reporter: Mamta A.

Seems like a code like above should be done for collation sensitive character types and not for UCS_BASIC character types. Interestingly, nothing like this is getting checked for national character datatypes. > This behavior was detected while working on DERBY-3302 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

McFly's Dougie Poynter enters rehab centre with stress
Dougie Poynter from pop band McFly has entered rehab because of stress, bandmate Tom Fletcher has confirmed.
He tweeted the news over the weekend saying the bass player "has been having a tough time lately".
He added: "He needed a few weeks rest so he's fighting fit and ready to slap that bass for you on tour."
The band announced that Dougie Poynter wasn't well last week and rescheduled three of their concerts in Belfast, Dublin and Nottingham.
They'll take place in April (Belfast Odyssey - 3, Dublin Arena - 4 and Nottingham Arena - 6).
McFly's tour now starts in Sheffield on Friday 18 March.
Original tickets will be valid for those dates but the band are continuing to play with just Harry Judd, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones.
Tom Fletcher told Newsbeat that Dougie had been getting treatment for a couple of weeks but not for drink or drugs.
He said: "He's coming out soon. He comes out in about a week I think and then we pretty much go on tour straight away.
"Obviously our jobs can be quite stressful at times anyway and then when you combine that with personal issues like a break-up, it can just make it 10 times harder.
"Being in the public eye, he's obviously been a bit down and stressed and he just needed time to recover and get some help with that."
Dougie Poynter split up with girlfriend Frankie Sandford from The Saturdays in November.
The band also released their fifth studio album last year.
Singles Party Girl and Shine a Light both made it into the top 10.
Tom Fletcher says they've been talking to Dougie Poynter while he's been in rehab.
He said: "We've talked to him on the phone. Me and Harry saw him yesterday. We went down and spoke to him.
"He's in good spirits. He's been looking forward to touring. That's what her absolutely loves, performing live.
"He's really looking forward to just getting out and obviously wanted to be on top form for all the fans on tour. I think that's what he's itching to do now."
