There has been a surge in wage and hour litigation recently, and it has been getting a lot of attention. See, e.g., M. Huisman, Seyfarth Shaw Study Shows Increase in Wage and Hour Labor Suits, Corporate Counselor (July 27, 2012); J. Segal, The New Workplace Revolution: Wage and Hour Lawsuits, CNNMoney (May 29, 2012). This surge is due, in large part, both to the Great Recession and to technological advances allowing work from remote locations. See P. Davidson, Overworked and Underpaid, USA Today (Apr. 16, 2012).
An often overlooked component of a company's protection from the financial consequences of this type of litigation is its insurance policies.
Most employers, for example, routinely purchase employment practices liability (EPL) coverage. This coverage typically exists either in separately-purchased EPL policies or, particularly with private companies, in directors and officers (D&O) insurance policies that include an EPL coverage component.
Yet, there is a common misperception that these policies do not cover wage and hour lawsuits. Insurance companies have created this misimpression by relying on two principal arguments. First, they assert that amounts expended in wage and hour claims do not constitute "loss" within the meaning of these policies because the claims seek only uninsurable restitution, and second, they argue that coverage is barred by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) exclusion often found in these policies.
Companies, however, should not accept these contentions at face value.
First, as with all coverage issues, the specific language of the policy matters. Some definitions of "loss" are broader than others, and some FLSA exclusions are narrower than others.
Second, the allegations of the particular wage and hour claims are important. Plaintiff lawyers usually assert multiple claims and allege various theories of liability. If even a single claim or theory is within the scope of coverage, the employer may be entitled at least to partial coverage.
Third, consistent with the two points above, several recent court decisions have cast doubt on the insurance industry's principal arguments. For example, in SWH Corp. v. Select Insurance Co., 2006 WL 2786930 (Cal. Ct. App. Oct. 19, 2006), the court denied the insurers' request for summary judgment on whether the amounts sought in a wage and hour suit were "restitution," and thus not "loss," under the policy. The court also found that the underlying allegations did not come within the policy's FLSA exclusion. Similarly, in California Dairies Inc. v. RSUI Indemnity Co., 617 F. Supp. 2d 1023 (E.D. Cal. 2009), the court found that the policy's FLSA exclusion applied to some, but not all, of the allegations against the company.
Fourth, an insurance company's duty to pay for its insured's defense is broader than its duty to cover judgments or settlements. So, even if it is ultimately determined that an insurer is not obligated to cover an underlying wage and hour settlement or judgment, the insurer may still be obligated to cover defense costs in the interim. This "litigation insurance" can be very valuable, because wage and hour suits often proceed as class actions, and the costs of defending such actions can be very substantial.
Employers also should be aware that some insurers do offer specialty policies designed to cover wage and hour claims. These policies, however, frequently cover only defense costs and contain low limits of liability. Furthermore, insurance companies often erroneously market such products on the premise that there is never wage and hour coverage under EPL policies. Thus, although employers should consider whether such specialty coverage makes sense for their business, they should still preserve and, when necessary, exercise their right to pursue coverage under their EPL policies, which typically have higher limits. The specialty policies also can differ materially from each other, so a careful review of any proposed policy language is warranted.
Regardless of whether an employer is currently facing wage and hour claims, there are steps that all companies can take now to put themselves in the best position to potentially secure insurance coverage should the need arise.
First, collect, organize and safeguard all of the company's policies. This includes an effort to identify and obtain policies issued to other pertinent companies, such as predecessors and current or former affiliates of your company.
Second, consider having an insurance professional audit the organization's insurance portfolio to confirm that the company has the most complete and cost-effective coverage available.
Third, if the company becomes aware of the possibility of a wage and hour lawsuit, or is actually served with one, it should, with rare exceptions, promptly notify its insurers.
In sum, the coverage provided by insurance policies for wage and hour lawsuits can be an extremely valuable corporate asset. Companies can maximize the benefits of this asset by acting proactively now, and by being willing to question coverage denials from their insurers.

THE force, to judge from the upbeat notes emanating from Arnhem yesterday, is back with Liverpool. Danny Murphy, the match-winner at Old Trafford in the past two seasons, believes that Manchester United's recent defensive vulnerability suggests that Liverpool can extend their winning sequence against their favourite enemies to six matches.
Gérard Houllier, the Liverpool manager, judged from Thursday's Uefa Cup third-round, first-leg victory over Vitesse Arnhem that Steven Gerrard is making a timely return towards his best and that Michael Owen is forming a partnership of pace and penetration with Milan Baros.

Remember the phrase, "Keep riding through it." It's an expression that horse trainers use whenever a client's ride becomes difficult. If you give up or get off in the midst of difficulties, you might win the battle that day but lose the war in the long run. Keep riding through the most difficult times. Learning to be really good at something takes persistence and time. Such it is with life. Riding through it has made me a different person.

I replaced the Neutral Safety Switch on a 93 Taurus Wagon. The adjustment procedure in my Haynes manual is outdated (there is no hole in which to place a drill bit). Assuming I have loosened the mounting bolts, removed the linkage, and properly identified the markings that I need to line up, what position should the bolt that the linkage attaches to be in when I reattach the linkage? If I turn that both back and forth, there are several stops that are engaged. If you can explain the correct settings in relation to those stops, I believe it would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

From dark, clean lines to sleek, buttoned-up styling, the campaign is a major departure from anything the brand has done before.
"This season we wanted to create a collection that represents the technological nature and sleekness of our denim," said Sarah Ahmed, DL1961's Creative Director. "We continue our mission to create 'the perfect fitting jeans' and are excited to unveil our Fall/Winter fit collection, which captures the premium, effortless yet signature style that DL1961 has become known for."

Leave it to Japan's denim masters to come up with a massively inventive, super cool new way to get your jeans distressed. Throw 'em in the lion's den! Sound extreme? Kamine Zoo in Japan let the wildlife do their thing with jeans this summer. Whatever was left of the denim was sewn together into new pairs (because let's face it, these wild cats are not just strategically distressing the knees). This was all part of a fundraising effort to raise money for the World Wildlife Foundation and the zoo itself. Cool, huh?
See the finished jeans below:
Of course, you're welcome to go toss your jeans in with the animals at the local zoo. Just don't expect anyone else to go fetch them for you.
See the full story here and more photos of the distressing process here.

RiverBlue, an upcoming denim documentary featuring Canadian river conservationist Mark Angelo, aims to reveal the denim manufacturing industry's negative impact on the environment in places like India's Yumana River and the Citarum River in Indonesia. "The rivers are like the capillaries of our planet and we can't live without them," director David McIlvride told Ecouterre in a recent interview. "The planet would die if we lose rivers to pollution."
Read an excerpt from the interview below…
DM: There's been a lot of talk about "fast fashion" in blogs and in the popular press and its impact on the environment. With a glut of fashion hitting consumers and low and competitive pricing, it's not the consumer who is paying for an ever-increasing volume of clothing, but rather the environment.
In the film, Orsola de Castro, an eco-fashion designer from London, England tells us that the fashion industry has to have "transparency, no toxicity, traceability" and that "consumers will demand to know who, where and how our clothes are being made and if the manufacturing of our fashion is having a negative effect on the environment."
I don't think we have much of a choice. It's often mentioned that the next war will not be fought over oil, but rather water. I think that's a strong possibility as we keep growing in population, while at the same time, losing our integral water resources. The rivers are like the capillaries of our planet and we can't live without them. The planet would die if we lose rivers to pollution.
I think the consumer does have a say in the health of the rivers of our world, if they knew the story about how fashion has negatively impacted the environment for decades now. Through social media, pressure put on fashion brands to clean up their act and detox, I'm sure we could have a positive effect on the health of the rivers in many places around the world. No one, in my belief, wants to buy from brands that pollute.
DM: Blue jeans are much dirtier than you might ever guess. That ubiquitous distressed denim wash is the result of a several chemical-intensive washes. We spoke on camera with campaigners from Greenpeace who when testing the outflows near the denim towns found five heavy metals (cadmium, chromium, mercury, lead, and copper) in 17 out of 21 water and sediment samples taken from throughout Xintang, a city we filmed in.
Toxic campaigners in China have discovered heavy metals like manganese, which can be associated with brain damage in the rivers. They've also found a lot of heavy metals that are neurotoxic, carcinogenic, which disrupt the endocrine system causing cancer of different organs.
Mark, our world paddler, talks about how he feels that clean water is not only a basic human right; it is the world's most threatened essential resource. Aside from being critical habitats for wildlife, waterways such as rivers and lakes provide vital resources. Many people rely on this water for drinking, for farming, and for food. Yet we saw, during our filming, over and over again that these vital water sources are often abused by industry and treated as if they are private sewers.
The textile industry is chemically intensive. We witnessed a lot of chemicals running through factory floors, eventually ending up in the river. We also documented the spraying of potassium permanganate—without any masks—used to distress jeans, while filming in blue-jean factories.

Via ecouterre.com: "Chip Bergh wants you to stop washing your jeans. Speaking at Fortune Brainstorm Green conference in Laguna Niguel, Calif., on Tuesday, the Levi Strauss CEO said that while roughly half the water usage happens during jeans production, the other half is consumed at home. Bergh also billed the denim giant as the "ultimate in slow fashion." "We have a pair of jeans in our archives that are 135 years old, so we are the ultimate in sustainable apparel," he said. "We build our products to last; if you treat them right, they will last a long, long time—probably longer than most people's waistlines."
Levi's also happens to most sought-after brand in secondhand stores like Goodwill, making it the "No. 1 in hand-me-downs," Bergh added.
He also spoke about the "Wellthread" initiative, which is currently being test-driven by Dockers, a subsidiary of Levi's. "The concept is to try to develop a line of product that is sustainable in every single facet of the word," Bergh said. "Not just environmentally sustainable but socially sustainable and economically sustainable.""

While walking in the east village this week, we spotted a new campaign posted up on phone booths. The poster, shown below, reveals a bottle of water saying "I want to be a pair of jeans. Recycle me." This poster is part of the I Want To Be Project, which calls attention to the wide array of materials we consume daily that could be recycled into new materials. Their website includes tin cans that want to be bicycles, bottles that want to be jeans and benches, and more. The next time you go to toss your water bottle in the trash, consider letting it have a second life. Read more about how plastic bottles and containers are recycled.

MiH Jeans recently launched an exclusive shibori tye dye collaboration with LA based shibori specialist Niki Livingston on their website. Shibori dye, one of the most beautiful fabric treatments we've ever laid eyes on (and a favorite of the festival-going crowd) is an ancient Japanese dye technique used to give cloth a three dimensional form by folding, stitching, and twisting the material before it is sumberged. The result, as you can see, is gorgeous.
"The MiH design team and Niki worked closely together to develop shibori-dyed pieces that reflect MiH's British heritage and Niki's laid-back, Californian attitude. After experimenting firstly with denim, we then chose tees, shirts and scarves to become the canvases for our indigo art. Scarf prints were influenced by water and shadows whilst tees and shirts were tied to create spots and stripes with ease and spontaneity."

Hello, I'm new here, sorry if I posted this at the wrong place but I just had to ask:
Has anyone tried the new Audio Technica M50x? I really loved the previous M50 and Audio Technica just recently released a new refined version of them. Has anyone tried them? I just wanted to know whether if they're worth the buy or if they still have the same M50 sound signature.

Young Skins
Young Skins
Stories by Colin Barrett
Paperback: €12.99 (3rd printing, signed by author)
Winner of the 2014 Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award
Winner of the 2014 Rooney Prize for Irish Literature
Winner of the 2014 Guardian first book award
A recovering addict drifts closer to the oblivion he'd hoped to avoid by returning to his home town; two estranged friends hide themselves away in a darkened pub, reluctant to attend the funeral of the woman they both loved; a bouncer who cannot envisage a world beyond the walls of the small town nightclub his life revolves around.
Set for the most part in the fictional County Mayo town of Glanbeigh, Colin Barrett's stories deftly explore the wayward lives and loves of young men and women in contemporary post-boom Ireland. Young Skins offers an utterly unique reading experience and marks the appearance of an arresting and innovative new voice in Irish writing.
Colin Barrett was born in 1982 and grew up in County Mayo. In 2009 he completed his MA in Creative Writing at University College Dublin and was awarded the Penguin Ireland Prize. His work has been published in The Stinging Fly magazine and in the anthologies, Sharp Sticks, Driven Nails (Stinging Fly Press, 2010) and Town and Country (Faber and Faber, 2013).
Colin received bursaries from the Arts Council in 2011 and 2013. This is his first collection of stories.
You can follow Colin on Twitter: @ColinBarrett82
a stunning debut… all seven tales converge towards one singular theme: the failure constantly lurking in the shadows of the human condition. The timeless nature of each story means this collection can – and will – be read many years from now.
JP O'Malley, The Sunday Times
The most underpraised of the Irish newcomers, Young Skins is a fine collection dominated by the novella 'Calm With Horses', a bravura performance in which Barrett simply outwrites many of his peers with a chilling confidence that suggests there is far more beneath the surface than merely the viciously effective black humour.
Eileen Battersby, The Irish Times, Fiction of the Year
Chekhov once told his publisher that it isn't the business of a writer to answer questions, only to formulate them correctly. Throughout this extraordinary debut, but particularly in the excellent stories that bookend it, Colin Barrett is asking the right questions.
Chris Power, The Guardian
Barrett's use of language is powerful and surprising – he talks about the "vasculature" of pipes on the underside of an upturned car, and a character worries that people are watching "the bulky hydraulics of his jaw" as he eats his dinner. These stories are moving and memorable and show a writer who understands people, place and the effects of porter on the human psyche.
David Robbins, Irish Independent
It isn't necessarily the job of fiction writers to explain our social landscape, but sometimes the best of them do. Colin Barrett's short, brutal collection of stories presents clearly and without sentimentality a picture of the young Irish small-town male, in his current crisis of hopelessness and alienation.
Katy Hayes, The Irish Times
These stories, exploring male friendship and often unrequited love convey the atmosphere of post-boom Ireland quite wonderfully. With little lucrative employment, the protagonists struggle on as best they can, seeing no way out…
I loved these stories, and empathised with every one of the protagonists. I like the way they challenge the readers' prejudices and leave them wanting more. The writing is superlative. Every sentence counts. We'll be hearing a lot more from Colin Barrett.
Sue Leonard, Books Ireland
Colin Barrett's story collection, seven tales set in the grim surrounds of a fictional Mayo town, is a truly accomplished debut. The stories are no comforting pastoral—instead, we meet a cast of young men and women trapped in a variety of hopeless situations, some turbulent and messy, others of the quiet-desperation variety. In 'Diamonds', a recovering alcoholic takes up a job as grounds-keeper in his old school until he falls off the wagon; in a couple of stories, outsiders visit for a period—such as the students marking time in a summer job in both 'The Moon' and the excellent 'Stand Your Skin'—only to clear out again, leaving those they were involved with ever more conscious of the limits of their world. There's quite an overlap in tone with Kevin Barry, but Barrett is no pale imitator. His writing is confident and gritty—and every now and then he hits the reader with such a perfect turn of phrase it underscores a serious talent. Don't bank on being uplifted by these gnarly portraits of rural Irish life, but do expect to be very impressed by the power of Barrett's writing.
Sheena Davitt, The Metro Herald (4-star review)
Set, in the main, in Barrett's home county of Mayo, in the fictional town of Glanbeigh, the book's seven stories give us glimpses into the despairing, loving lives of a clutch of hopeless cases; like Dubliners before it, it tracks its characters first through youth and beyond into a less frantic, more contemplative (if equally screwed-up) middle age... What's particularly exciting about Barrett's work, though, isn't his plotting (good as it is) or his settings (rock-solid and gritty) or even his idiolect ('There was the wishbone snap of his nose breaking and the old man was clean out'.) or his dialect ('Hector was awful itchy on the phone. Short and itchy,' Dympna said.'): his huge talent is in characterisation, in his ability to sketch a personality and a circumstance, tease the reader into making a judgment, and then wrench it all about ninety degrees... Potentially the best collection we'll read all year: a massive new talent, and stories that will make you yearn and nod and cry.
Valerie O'Riordan, Bookmunch
This collection is a sustained and brilliant performance by a young writer of remarkable talent and confirmation that Colin is a writer of significance with something important to say... [It] is Colin's mastery of characterisation and his seemingly endless ability to surprise us with the poetry and linguistic inventiveness of his prose that elevates these stories into deftly crafted works of art that are a pleasure to read from start to finish.
Andrew McEneff, Short Story Ireland

Pros: - Easy to setup
- Vibrant colors with the right calibration
- No dead pixels on arrival
- Great for gaming (even non FPS)
- Has a headphone stand on the back for convenience
Cons: - Default settings are too bright and can cause headaches
- Took about an hour to get things calibrated
- Had to use outside resources for recommended settings
Other Thoughts: I came from using a Macbook Pro with retina display and the colors are already amazing on that. Although the Benq's colors aren't as vibrant as the Macbook, with the right calibration, you can still get something similar. I was hesitant to get this because of others complaints of the washed out colors, but the reason for the washed out look is because of the initial settings, which is setup for FPS gaming. After a few minor adjustments I was able to have separate settings for desktop use and gaming use. The Benq comes with a switch that saves 3 settings so you don't need to calibrate it every single time you change formats.READ FULL REVIEW

Lots of juicy things going on today, but I've been too bizz to pay enough attention to give the blog posts they deserve. (Other than my quick slap at the MassGOP's web ad. That didn't require much time and attention.)
--Mayor Menino made an important speech at the Chamber of Commerce this morning. Michael Flaherty has already attacked him on part of it -- the part about improving PILOT collections. The more important part is the new "Boston Invests" program. I haven't had time to look closely at it.
--The governor of Illinois, who was widely suspected of being corrupt, turns out to be really corrupt, according to the US Attorney. This could have all kinds of implications, none of which I have had time to ponder or investigate... other than to note that this probably answers the age-old question, which I periodically pose to political pals, of which is the most politically corrupt state in America. (Louisiana, New Jersey, and Illinois are the perennial favorites.)
--In our local corruption scandal, the feds have charged Dianne Wilkerson and Chuck Turner with conspiracy, which I think was pretty much inevitable as a charge regardless of what the particulars of the facts turn out to be. But again, I haven't looked into it.
--Massachusetts fourth-graders kick the world's sorry ass in science. This seems impressive, and probably says something about our state's education; although somehow they'll end up failing MCAS in high school, so what's that about?
--Three-month Treasury bills are trading at a negative rate, which I'm sure is very serious for reasons I might understand if I spent a few minutes to find out.
--Michael Steele probably took himself out of the running for RNC chair by saying that moderates should not be anathema to the party. Meanwhile Chip Saltsman officially declared his candidacy, and seems to be trying to dispel rumors that he is a stalking-horse for Mike Huckabee by providing evidence that he is actually a stalking-horse for Bill Frist. Also, slot-machine afficianado William Bennett endorsed Steele; Steve Forbes endorsed Ken Blackwell; and clearly I spend too much time following this stuff compared to more important things.

Dear Linda,
Some people don't like rebloomers because they are
too busy to give them the care they need. They need extra water & fertilizer
to rebloom. While the irises beside them would not like extra water &
fertilizer and might rot with the extra un-needed care.
Also, until recently, most of the rebloomers did
not have as perfect a form as the non-rebloomers.
You are correct that "self" means that the
standards & falls have the same color. However, if it has half marks, the
standards & falls would be different and therefore the iris would not be
considered a "self". The beards do not count.

Berwick Council accepts Renwick V engineering
Preliminary engineering on Phase V of Renwick Subdivision garnered approval Tuesday night.
Development of the final phase of the subdivision would be on the right side connecting to Riverside Drive. The 36 new lots are valued at an estimated $1.3 million.
It will take about four months to prepare to go out for bids on improving the land, Mayor Louis Ratcliff said.
The council directed engineers to prepare plans for all 36 lots and for 18 lots so they have options once the estimated costs become available.
The need for the new lots was apparent in the town's planning and zoning report, which indicated 14 year-to-date new home permits valued at $3.28 million. The average value of the homes is $234,803. Meanwhile, some 16 lots have been sold in Renwick this year.
"The numbers reflect people are moving to Berwick," Planning and Zoning Director Gary Beadle said.
Town attorney Allen McElroy said the cost of development would have to be borne by the town council and repaid through an intergovernmental agreement with the Berwick Development District.
"I don't think you'll find any project in the State of Louisiana that has done more for the people," McElroy added.
In other action, the council:
—Held public hearings which garnered no comment before approving the 2011-12 budget and amendments to the current year budget.
—Received Louisiana House Concurrent Resolution No. 208 congratulating St. Mary Parish for its flood fighting efforts earlier this summer.
—Learned from Ratcliff that he, along with other area mayors, signed a proclamation declaring Friday to be POW-MIA Recognition Day.
—Heard from schools Superintendent Don Aguillard and approved a resolution in support of the Oct. 22 school tax election.
—Approved a parade permit for the Tri-City Track Club to host their Double Trouble Road Race in Berwick Oct. 23.
—Adopted a resolution giving official approval of a five year sub-lease of waterfront property to the Baroid facility, represented by Jo Ann Hebert Butler.
—Approved the subdivision of a lot at the end of Sixth Street to satisfy an inheritance claim.
—Heard from parish council candidates Logan Fromenthal and Steve Bierhorst.
—Approved a proclamation declaring Sept. 18-24 Child Passenger Safety Week in Berwick.
—Noted that the 100th birthday party for lifelong Berwick resident Annette Bowman will be Sept. 25 at 12:30 p.m. at First United Methodist Church in Berwick.
The full council was present for Tuesday's meeting.

Artist Roderick Romero Begins Construction March 4; Opens to the public April 6, 2013
Release Date: February 27, 2013
At around 200 square feet and five feet from the ground, Romero's naturalistic, site-specific design will visually link to the Garden's wooded landscape while offering a brand-new way to experience the Garden. The tree house— next to a majestic caucasian wingnut tree — will be capable of holding up to 20 visitors at a time and overlook nearby Bluebell Wood. The tree house will be constructed almost entirely from oaks felled in the southern part of BBG by Sandy and from woody material repurposed from BBG's previous on-site interactive sculpture, Natural History, by Patrick Dougherty.
Romero, who is based in the East Village, has built tree houses in the U.S., Central America, Africa and Europe for artistic luminaries like Sting, Laurie Anderson, and Darren Aronofsky. BBG's tree house will be the first of Romero's projects in a public garden, allowing unprecedented access for visitors of all ages to experience and appreciate both Romero's work and the Garden from a new perspective. BBG's Spring Break Discovery Week (March 26, 27, 28, 29, April 2; 11 a.m.–1 p.m.) will focus on the tree house as a site to learn and play, with free drop-in workshops for families, all free with Garden admission. Kids will be able to watch the artist at work, try their hand at weaving a nest, and learn about the different structures animals build.
For more information about Roderick Romero's tree house at BBG, email [email protected] or call 718-623-7241.

Backshell Meets Rover!CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians guide the backshell as it is lowered over NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover, Curiosity, for encapsulation. The backshell, a protective cover, carries the parachute and several components used during later stages of entry, descent and landing. A United Launch Alliance Atlas V-541 configuration will be used to loft MSL into space. MSL's components include a compact car-sized rover, Curiosity, which has 10 science instruments designed to search for evidence on whether Mars has had environments favorable to microbial life, including chemical ingredients for life. The unique rover will use a laser to look inside rocks and release its gasses so that the rover's spectrometer can analyze and send the data back to Earth. MSL is scheduled to launch Nov. 25 with a window extending to Dec. 18 and arrival at Mars Aug. 2012. For more information, visit http://www.nasa.gov/msl.

Now, finally, AMD's Llano, a CPU/GPU combo, or "APU", could give us a serious alternative. Advertisement AMD running with the "Application Processor Unit" name for the guts of their Fusion processors isn't as gimmicky as it sounds, because the Llano is genuinely unique: It's four processing cores and a DX11-capable GPU on a single processor die. In simpler terms, this means that AMD has created a tidy little system on a chip, aimed at a few portable markets. In the simplest terms, they've shrunk laptop graphics and processing into a single chip, which saves power and space.So! Not much is known about the Llano right now, but we can pick out some broad themes. The chip's power regulation is novel, monitoring specific chip functions to gauge power draw rather than sensors. The graphics capabilities, though still generally a mystery, wouldn't have to be very good at all to trump Intel's lame integrated graphics. In other words, as Ars notes, this could be the first real baby of the still torrid AMD/ATI marriage, and the start of an ATI comeback, at least in laptops. Advertisement Or, given that we're not expected to see these processors in products until 2011, when everything could be completely different, it could be none of these things.

Great value, highest strength, 1 a day helps prostrate
I am a male 65+ years and I suffer from BPH (enlarged Prostrate). Prostate enlargement happens to almost all men as they get older, more than 90% of men over age 80 have the condition. If you are serious about reducing the size of the prostrate, then in addition to using Saw Palmetto, I also use tablets containing Beta Sitosterol. Previously, I was treated by my Urologist with drugs, that were very expensive with not so good side effects and after 12 months of stopping treatment, he advised me that the prostrate would return in size again anyway. Saw Palmetto is completely safe to use with no side effects and I have found it to be a excellent natural replacement to drugs. Just remember, it may take 30 to 40 days before you will notice any improvements, it has helped me immensely.
very good

Good product
It does something, but not a magic bullet against enlarged prostate.
Posted by Reviewer3001128 on May 12, 2015
I notice that I need to wake up fewer times at night to go to pee, mainly one or twice. Otherwise I go 5-6 times a night and it's very annoying because then I wake up tired in the morning. I cycle Saw Palmetto with Nettle Root. I wish Doctor's Best had a Nettle Root extract in stock.

Based on an interview with Pål-Ørjan by Håkon F. Høydal that was published in the Norwegian newspaper VG (Weekend Magazine) on 2015.03.08, photos by Fredrik Solstad.
As a 13 year old I, Pål-Ørjan Johansen, stood almost alone in the world. Today I am a psychologist, psychedelic researcher — and I have treated myself with psilocybin "magic" mushrooms and MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy.
I had experienced things that I never allowed myself to think about, let alone speak of. Then I took MDMA and began talking.
At age seven, I stood at the top of the government building alongside my distinguished grandfather. Six years later, I was almost alone in the world, having lost four of my closest family members. Today, I am a psychologist, researcher, family man – and to increase access to quality controlled MDMA and psychedelics as my next goal.
Here I recount how I healed my traumatic past using psychedelics and MDMA, the active ingredient in Ecstasy. I want more people to have the same possibilities that I had, without being criminalized and condemned. I want to help make a change. MDMA is not illegal because it's dangerous; it can be dangerous because it is illegal.
I live in Oslo, along with my wife Teri and our two daughters, but Trondheim was where I grew up.
My maternal grandfather, Reidar Moen, was a distinguished union advocate and leader of the First of May committee. I walked at the front of the First of May parade every year as a child. I remember eating dinner with Prime Minister (and later director of WHO) Gro Harlem Brundtland. My grandfather was a role model to me.
My family, however, were hiding a shameful secret: my grandfather was an alcoholic.
One time, he was intoxicated during a televised debate. I don't know about those who weren't close to him, but everyone in the family could tell.
Later on, I would eventually understand how my grandfather's underground resistance campaigning during WWII led him to excessive drinking. But when I was a child, the truth of my grandfather's addiction was shrouded by a roaring silence.
Then, I turned 13. That year, my life fell apart.
In less than a year, I lost three of my grandparents; my maternal grandmother was first to go, followed closely by her iconic husband. My paternal grandfather passed shortly thereafter.
It was during his funeral that I saw my older brother for the last time.
It is now autumn, and I had newly entered the 7th grade. I am taken from class one day and rushed to my mother, who is in the hospital after an operation. My mother's health is not the reason for my requested presence, however. It is because she shall tell me about my big brother.
My older brother just died, he was serving in the military, and he suddenly fell over due to a heart failure. None of us had any warning.
It is still painful to talk about this. My brother and I were very close. In the summer, he and I would camp out alone in the upper part of the Nidelva river, fishing and enjoying each other's company for weeks on end. I found comfort in his sense of security, and we stayed up all night, exchanging stories.
A few months after my brother's funeral, my class is attending Christmas Mass. I am met with puzzled looks as I bolt down the aisle and exit the church. I run directly to my brother's grave, upon which I lie until my teachers fetch me.
The tragedies of that fateful year lead the remnants of my family to escape from it all. Together with my mother I move to Spain for a year, during which I refuse to attend school. I followed my interests that year. It helped me regain my desire to learn, and I ended up fluent in Spanish by the time we moved back home.
The effects of alcoholism in a family can be devastating. My family members did their best to handle it, each in their own way, others in my closest family developed alcohol problems as well. I even developed alcohol issues myself.
I was about to develop a serious drinking problem during my time as a student. Alcohol gave me a temporary escape from my childhood issues, but it only caused me to avoid solving them in the long run.
As a successful student, I led a bustling social life, exercised regularly and had girlfriends. But none of my many friends and love interests knew what I was going through on the inside and at home.
I was so troubled. My parents were divorced, and my mother had sole custody of me and my two siblings. Our financial situation was desperate most of the time. Sickness and death plagued my family. To top it all off, nobody dared speak of alcoholism, nor any of the consequences it had on the rest of us. Alcoholism leads to traumatic memories, which in turn leads to more alcoholism. If nothing is done to break that vicious circle, it can perpetuate through many generations.
By the time I began his psychology studies at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, I fell in love with a fellow student. At the time, she was studying the effects of drugs other than alcohol.
I began reading about it myself, familiarizing myself with the risk profiles linked to the various substances. I was curious and wanted to try them myself, but I was always aware of what I needed to know beforehand.
One day in 2002, I ate mushrooms containing psilocybin. It was my first psychedelic experience. The experience itself was of Biblical dimensions. Concepts that religious texts only refer to in writing became animated, alive, tangible. I gained a deeper understanding of my connection with others and how my past was effecting my present.
Immediately following my experience, I make a decision to take psilocybin once a week for a whole year. Every Sunday, I woke up before dawn and ate dried mushrooms.
Slowly, I quit using alcohol altogether. I had to take care of myself when I took mushrooms, and being unbalanced was not an option. Psychedelics led me to examine the destructive behavioral patterns that I was unable to face before.
Although frightening and challenging at times, the experiences were always enriching. We are right here, and nowhere else. There is no use trying to escape from this world. Coming to terms with that fact led to my personal freedom."
I received a grant to visit Harvard University in 2005, setting the stage for the next chapter of my journey: MDMA. On a summer morning that same year, I tried it for the first time at my girlfriend's house.
It was like bathing my soul in pure love and care. Although psychedelics can bring about a profound conversation with oneself, MDMA can be better suited for processing trauma and occasioning emotional learning with others. It gave me a strong sense of love and belonging.
Previous attempts at addressing my issues through psychotherapy had proved unsuccessful.
Much of what I experienced on MDMA closely matched the characteristics of a good therapeutic process. MDMA eased the pain of talking about the most difficult memories. The pain and sadness became easier to bear. Simply knowing that you have been able to talk about your problems makes their presence noticeably less shameful.
The next few years I took MDMA every two-three months. I felt no need to take it more often than that. MDMA can have a long-lasting positive effect, and I eventually learned how to reactivate love and self-care without MDMA.
In Boston I met American researcher Teri Krebs. The first few times she inquired about my life and childhood, she was met with a reflexive response: "I don't want some sort of therapy session!"
Teri is positive about my history with psychedelics and MDMA.
– "I think it made him more open to share about his feelings. He was deeply ashamed of his own family history. It's only in the past few years that he's been able to talk openly about what happened", she says.
Teri and I have two daughters, age 3 and age 1.5. I have not seen any evidence that taking MDMA or psilocybin makes you a worse dad. My experience is that it has made me into a better caregiver. I take better care of myself and those around me.
Teri is a neuroscientist, we have researched psychedelics for many years. Last month, we published our latest article in Journal of Psychopharmacology, where they analyzed a large health study from the US.
Out of 135,000 respondents, roughly 19,000 had used psychedelics at least once in their lives.
We found that the respondents who had used psychedelics were less likely to be admitted to psychiatric treatment than the rest. We also found no correlation between psychedelic usage and mental problems later in life.
Additionally, Teri has published a letter in this issue (April 2015) of Lancet Psychiatry. In it, Teri argues that psychedelic use is a human right.
– "We must ensure that national and international policies respect the human rights of individuals who chose to use psychedelics as a spiritual, personal development, or cultural activity", she writes.
We recently founded the NGO EmmaSofia. The goal of EmmaSofia is to produce medical-grade MDMA and psilocybin. It has never been illegal to use MDMA or psychedelics in medical treatment settings, but there are currently no large-scale producers of the substances because their patents have expired.
We want to change the laws that govern access to psychedelics and MDMA. The U.N. is due to hold a special meeting on the Convention on Psychotropic Substances next year, and we would like to be there.
Ketil Lund, former Justice of the Supreme Court and member of the International Commission of Jurists, is a legal consultant for the EmmaSofia organization. Lund regards use of psychedelics as protected under the United Nations human rights conventions, and he has delivered a statement on this.
It is in our duty as scientists to speak up when we discover that laws and regulations do not correspond with scientific findings, especially when the laws and regulations are conflicting with human rights.

We have been in the business of recording for the past 12 years. The company was formed by us, three audio engineers, right after graduating from college. We have a very good client base. You can use our studio as an alternative to recording studios in the big cities. This will save you a lot of money. We have a huge inventory of musical instruments including grand piano, dgital keybords, guitars, drums sets and basses. We have a small training center inside our studio. Apart from providing service to different musicians, we also take the opportunity to teach our employees the various aspects of recording. We offer a special musical recording course once every three months. The course is open to anyone who wants to learn about music recording. This is an opportunity for them to meet the real people of the industry and learn practical lessons from them. They also get to use the finest professional musical equipment.
When we started our business in 2004 in downtown San Diego, tthe studio we rented was very small. After staying there for five years, we moved to the current location. We now serve those who are semi professional or simply learning music out of hobby and passion, besides the professional artists. With powerful computers, advanced ssoftware and sophisticated instruments, music recording is a very easy task now. With so many options available musicians can take recording to a new level of creativity.
Recording is a very crucial part of music. Imagine you have the perfect lyrics, tune and singer, but the recording turns out to be bad, then your song will be ruined. There is no way of people knowing that you created a lovely song. On the other hand, due to good quality recording, a very ordinary song can sound brilliant. Our audio engineers and other professionals have many years of experience in the recording industry. Since our inception in 2014, there wasn't a single incident when our clients were dissatified with our service. If you want to make the best recording in town, come to us.

What Skill Level Is The Camp For?
This camp caters to all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. Due to the low ratio of players-to-coaches, we are able to break out the camp into multiple small groups, which are formed based on skill sets. This ensures that we are able to provide each player with the specialized and personal instruction they need to improve their particular skill set.
What Is The Camp Philosophy?
We believe that basketball is meant to be played intelligently.
Our coaching staff understand and appreciate the complexities of basketball, and how off the court preparation is just as important as playing the game. Our camp incorporates both skills and practices with whiteboard and classroom sessions so that while we develop a player's physical abilities and skills, we also teach the Xs and the Os of the game.
We also believe that while basketball is meant to be taken seriously, it is also meant to be fun.
We love the game and are very passionate about competition. We try to instill the same values in our campers. We expect our campers to take the game seriously whenever they step on the court, but we also expect our players to smile, laugh and enjoy playing the game at their best.
What Is Included With Camp?
Included with the camp price is room and board, a camp uniform, and evening activities. A camp bank is available for campers to purchase extras, such as snacks or takeout during camp. Campers will spend each day receiving on court instruction through drills and scrimmages, as well as classroom instruction covering the Xs and Os of the game. We also provide position-specific coaching, and work to improve a player's skills for the particular position they play. All campers receive a personalized camp report card, which summarizes performance, recommendations for improvement, and constructive feedback.
Who Are Your Coaches And Speakers?
Our camp is run by a team of highly experienced coaches. Camp founder and director Amelia Mowl is one of basketball's most decorated high school coaches and former players, having won 5 Clerc Classic Championships. Head coach Jon Mowl is one of deaf through his basketball clinic: Ballology. Gallaudet Head Coach Stephanie Stevens is the former Ohio State High School Player of the Year and played Division 1 basketball at Cincinnati. She is currently Gallaudet University's Women's basketball head coach.
Every year the camp invites other equally and highly skilled players and coaches to participate in camp. Coaches frequently include former and current Gallaudet and other college players, Deaf School coaches and people who know the game. Guest speakers come from all over the community, leaders and subject matter experts who give context to the game: Teaching about Title IX, leadership and social responsibility and helping develop an even deeper appreciation for the game, and life.
