A desirable vintage of the stylish classic with its improved neck and period features.
The Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster Electric Guitar takes you back to the middle of that musically momentous decade, when the reverb-drenched surf had largely receded and the Jazzmaster began its steady decade-long ascent toward alternative indispensability for subversive new generations of iconoclastic guitarists. It had also acquired some elegant new design features by 1965, such as a bound round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with larger pearl dot inlays, and distinctive white "witch hat" control knobs.
The American Vintage Series has long presented some of Fender's best selling guitars (their early-'80s introduction, in fact, was one of the first signs that Fender was "back" as the CBS era ended). Today, Fender has boldly cleared the slate to make way for a fresh American Vintage series with new features, new specs and the most meticulous level of vintage accuracy yet. Rather than just replacing the previous models with different ones, they've completely and comprehensively re-imagined the entire vintage-reissue concept-restoring original tooling dies, voicing new pickups, reformulating vintage colors and more-based on actual vintage guitars. Includes case.
- An authentic recreation of the classic model
- Lighweight alder body
- Mid '60s C-shaped neck profile
- Bound round-laminated rosewood fingerboard
- Vintage accurate pickups wound to period-correct specs and sound
- Classic dual-circuit wiring and controls
- Vintage-style floating tremolo with lock button
- Includes case

Comments about Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
This is a great fender guitar, It has all the quality you would expect from an american fender. The one weak point of this guitar, or any jazzmaster, is the bridge. Many jazzmasters today have a tun o matic style bridge, but the traditional jazzmaster bridge is a pain in the butt. I can't list in detail every issue i have with it but it pretty much falls apart as you play it. I had to scan my floor for the springs and screws that hold the saddles on. It has been recomded to me to replace he stock saddles with mustang saddles. Love my jazzmaster 99.9% just need to get rid of the poopoo saddles. Don't let my opinion of the bridge/saddles discourage you from buying a '65 jazzmaster RI, just buy some mustang saddles to go with.

Comments about Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
This ia a beautiful guitar, but it is not for everyone. It is perfect for every kind of nuanced clean sound, from Jazz to Country to instrumental guitar like Surf. It is also great for Blues and overdriven sounds. But do not try full distorted Rock or Metal with this. This guitar is not made for heavy distortion. Yes, the bridge is vintage accurate, so it is trouble. I had my guitar tech tweak it, and no more problems. With that, I highly recommend this beauty. Thank you, Fender, for making this one.

Comments about Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
I was using the guitar for light studio time and playing at home out of a blues jr. The pickups have been my main issue with this guitar. I own a vintage Jazzmaster from the 70's as well as the 62 AVRI and both of those guitars sound significantly better in my opinion.
This was not a set-up fix, the pickups are missing the P-90ish Fender punch that older models had/have. I read several reviews of individuals praising these pickups when they first came out a few years ago but I think our ears were looking for much different things...
The overall volume of the pickups was very thin as I kept finding myself trying to turn up the volume switch but quickly noticing that they were at full capacity. Having two other Jazzmasters, I was able to test them side by side to make these observations.
There is also very minimal resonance as the pickups will not draw out the sound of a cord after strumming but rather go quiet very quickly. Personally, I have always enjoyed a Jazzy with good sustain. So these sound factors made me strike out with this one.
The neck was thick compared to the 62 and 70s vintage which I did expect as this is a 65 reissue but something about the shape made it difficult for me to play...
Also the case is a cheaper quality version of the design of the 62 case. It looks similar to the eye but lower craftsmanship such the leather pull tab on the storage area really drove me up the wall. It is a very thin leather where my button began tearing off the leather tab within 2 weeks.
The 62 case and overly padded current case that you can purchase for 150 both have a much thicker leather material on the tab which is important to me as I utilize this space. Also, the locks on the case are no longer Cheney which all of the vintage cases and my 62 AVRI case have. I know Cheney closed its doors a few years ago but just a side note from a "American Vintage" perspective.
Overall I would go vintage since you are pretty close at 2,300.

Comments about Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
I was pleased with my purchase, but I was surprised how dirty the guitar was when I got it and the poor setup it had. I'm not sure if fender set it up or if it was set up later by musicians friend, but it was disappointing. I definitely recommend a mastery bridge and pick up upgrade. I'm using antiquities now and it pleases me.

Comments about Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
It's a high quality guitar. I've owned several other jazzmasters and this one is just miles apart in terms of quality and tone. Fit and finish are perfect. Pickups sound great no issues. The bridge saddle rattle but heavier string help a lot.

Note: This helpfile refers to a 10:1 attenuator. If you are using a 20:1 attenuator please adjust the Probe settings for the relevant channel. These settings can be found under the Channel Options button, then: Probe > 20:1 Attenuator.
Plug the 10:1 Attenuator into Channel A on the PicoScope and plug a BNC test lead into the attenuator. Place a large black clip onto the black test lead (negative) and a small red clip onto the colored test lead (positive). Place the black clip onto the battery negative terminal and probe the coil's negative (or number 1) terminal with the small red clip as illustrated in Figure 1.
The example waveform shows that the voltage seen during this test is high and the scaling of the oscilloscope is therefore adjusted to suit. It is important that the 10:1 Attenuator is used in all situations when a voltage exceeding 200 volts is being measured.
With the example waveform displayed on the screen you can now hit the space bar to start looking at live readings.
The ignition primary waveform is measuring the negative side of the ignition coil. The earth path of the coil can produce over 350 volts.
Within the primary picture there are several sections that need closer examination. In the waveform shown, the horizontal voltage line at the centre of the oscilloscope begins fairly constant at about 40 volts, but then drops sharply into what is referred to as the coil oscillation. This can also be seen in Figure 2.
The length of the aforementioned horizontal voltage line is the 'spark duration' or 'burn time', which in this case is 1.036 ms. This can again be seen in Figure 3. The coil oscillation period should display at least 4 peaks (counting both upper and lower). A loss of peaks indicates that the coil needs substituting for another of comparable values.
There is no current in the coil's primary circuit until the dwell period (Figure 4), which is when the coil is earthed and the measured voltage drops to zero. The dwell period is controlled by the ignition amplifier, and the length of the dwell is determined by the time it takes to build up the requisite 5-10 amps (depending on system). When this predetermined current has been reached, the amplifier stops increasing the primary current and maintains it until the earth is removed from the coil, at the precise moment of ignition.
The vertical line at the centre of the trace, called the 'induced voltage', is above 200 volts. The induced voltage is produced by a process called magnetic induction. At the point of ignition, the coil's earth circuit is removed and the magnetic field or flux collapses across the coil's windings. This in turn induces an average voltage between 150 to 350 volts (Figure 5). The coil's High Tension (HT) output is proportional to the induced voltage. The height of the induced voltage is sometimes referred to as the primary peak volts.
This help topic is subject to changes without notification. The information within is carefully checked and considered to be correct. This information is an example of our investigations and findings and is not a definitive procedure. Pico Technology accepts no responsibility for inaccuracies. Each vehicle may be different and require unique test settings.

For some reason, I've started a blog over at Quora. Back to Analog will (probably) look at what I refer to in my first post as the Return to Substance: the current trend toward the tactile and physical, toward the substantive and meaningful, that I see going on all over the place these days. Not a rejection of technology, but a more reasonable relationship to it. Go check it out and let me know what you think.
I do like the blogging interface over there, it's super-smooth. And I can't find it now, but on the page where they urge you to start your own blog there, they have some great assertions about how easy you'll find it to immediately garner a huge and productive audience. Which at this point in the history of the Internet, no matter how cool your Q&A site, is a laughable thing to say.
In any case, I'm already up to five posts:
- Introductory round-up on the Return to Substance
- On the homebrew D&D module archive I wrote about for Wired, recently acquired by the Museum of Play
- Flagging the New York Toy Fair
- Looking at a video game made of paper
- How making board games can improve your life

Sarcoid and Reactive Protein03/08/1999 |
I am writing with a sarcoidosis question. I am a 49 yr.old woman who has had sarcoid since Aug.1997. I have had numerous problems wth this disease but I am writng about a recient hospitalization for severe inflamation. The C Reactive Protein test came back at 54 in my blood. Is this due to the sarcoid? I am currently on steroids and methotrexate. I also am on meds for arthritis and high cholesterol. Thank You.
The c-reactive protein is a nonspecific measure of inflammation. Other measures include the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). It is not specific for sarcoidosis, but in a patient with sarcoidosis, an elevated level implies continued disease activity.The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) level is more specific for sarcoid, but can go back to normal when the disease is still active. Also, only 60% of patients have an initially elevated ACE level and only 20% have an elevated level after two years of disease, even if they are still sick from their sarcoidosis.

I could not get the tote I ordered from my other supplier and Dace helped me get the tote for my client on time and for less. Thanks Dace and ePromos.
Good tote for the price and the design came out well, it was a hard logo to copy. Would have been better in different colors but I'm sure that would have been pricey.
I love the way they came out! Logo looks great! My clients are happy to receive them. Thank you ePromos!
Bags were very nice but I was disappointed that the print was not bigger.
Great customer service. High quality tote. Printing looked clean and professional. Only problem we had was we didn't receive a tracking number. Corrected and solved very fast.
The bags turned out really well. They came out just the way I wanted them too. Plus the service at this company is excellent. Great sales and production support. And you can not beat the price! I would definitely work with ePromos again and I will recommend them to others too.

Must we hate the enemy to win the war? That debate was going on, hotly and heavily, in the New York Times. The affirmative had been opened by Rex Stout, bewhiskered detective story writer, chairman of the Writers' War Board, with an article called We Shall Hate, or We Shall Fail.

7 Home Remedies For Dry And Itchy Skin
Dry and itchy skin is a problem faced by many of us every day, especially during the winter season. However, dry skin need not be just because of the climatic conditions. Lack of proper hydration, thyroid disorders and certain medicines too are to be blamed for this condition.
We live in a polluted environment which too is a major cause for dry skin. Dry skin being a cosmetic problem must be treated effectively in order to prevent premature ageing of the skin and formation of wrinkles. Fortunately, a number of home remedies exist for treating dry skin effectively. Here are a few of them which you can try at the comfort of your home.
Aloe Vera
When the skin becomes dry, apply aloe vera on the skin and moisturise it to prevent wrinkles and scaling of the skin Aloe vera can be applied as often as you want to keep the dryness at bay. The dead skin cells that are accumulated on the top layer of skin will be removed with constant application and the skin beneath will be revealed to you within days of application.
Tea Tree Oil
Dilute tea tree oil along with some olive oil and apply on the dry skin. Tea tree oil is acidic and will help in exfoliating the dead skin cells on top. It being a germicide helps too as it can remove all kinds of acne and pimple formations as well by removing bacterial and fungal action on the skin.
Avocados are rich in fat and can remove skin dryness with constant application. Add as many avocados as you can in your food when you have dry skin. For external application, make a paste of avocados and apply on the skin. Allow it to remain for half an hour before washing off. This will make your skin well nourished and also render it good colour.
Flax Seeds
The oil extracted from flax seeds is rich in omega 3 fatty acids that moisturises the skin. Use flax seed oil for massaging the dry skin and consume flax seeds or use the oil for dressing your salad. Flax seeds will protect your skin from the damage caused by free radicals.
Vegetable Oils
Any vegetable oil can be used for massaging your dry skin. This can be sunflower, peanut, olive or coconut oil. Massage for about 15 minutes every day for great results. This will prevent skin dryness and accumulation of dead cells on the skin.
Baking Soda
Baking soda can be used for a warm bath to remove the dead cells and also prevent dryness from the skin. Add a cup of baking soda to warm water in the tub and soak for 15 minutes. Make sure that the water is not too hot as this can make the skin more dry after the bath. Add a few drops of olive oil to combat the dryness after the bath.
Rich in vitamin E oatmeal can be used for rubbing on the dry skin and removing the dead cells. Alternately, add a cup of oatmeal to a warm water tub and soak for half an hour to remove dryness.

If I save an image, which folder does it go to? I wasn't offered the option to choose. Or ... If I copy it, which program do I paste, then save? Thank you
If you save an image it automatically goes to the iPad's Photos app - no choice. If you copy an image you can then paste it into any app that supports paste and can display that format of image. Tim
I should maybe add a caveat - it depends where the image has come from.

Ran into a huge error. It is lengthy but the gist is Photo Library Error Failed to load library :error Error Domain code 3311, user denied access There is more code and words but the error stands out. But why don't I have access to open that folder to FTP the files? How do I get access?
Your original post didn't specify where the photo you were trying to save originated from. I had assumed it probably was being received as an email attachment but, from reading your last post, I think I was mistaken. Can you send some more details of where the photo is you're trying to save? Tim

Keeping Your Bones Healthy "BUILDING BONES"
Building Bones
What Are Bones? Bones fit together to make your skeleton. The skeleton gives the body shape and structure. With the help of muscles, the skeleton helps you move.
What are bones? It is important to keep bones strong throughout life.It is important to keep bones strong throughout life. Building strong bones begins in childhood. Bones are rapidly growing at this stage in life, and need activity and nutrients to lay a strong foundation.Building strong bones begins in childhood. Bones are rapidly growing at this stage in life, and need activity and nutrients to lay a strong foundation. Bones continue to grow, but they reach their strongest possible point in your 20s.Bones continue to grow, but they reach their strongest possible point in your 20s.
What are bones? Bone is made of: a protein called collagen that lays a soft framework the mineral calcium phosphate that makes the bone hard other minerals water cells
Strong bones There are two main ways to make bones stronger: Weight-bearing physical activity & Eating foods with calcium and Vitamin D
What is weight-bearing physical activity? Weight-bearing means you are on your feet, or your body is working against gravity. The actions of these activities stimulate bones to make more tissue, increasing bone strength.
What is weight-bearing physical activity? Some Activities That Are Weight-bearing Jumping rope RunningSoccerDancingKarateHikingTennis
What is weight-bearing physical activity? Some Activities That Are Not Weight-bearingBikingSwimming Riding a Scooter Remember all physical activity is good for you, weight-bearing and non weight-bearing! Just be sure to add in some weight-bearing activities to your normal routine for bone health.
Calcium and Vitamin D The calcium you get from foods help strengthen bones. Vitamin D helps the body to absorb the calcium you eat so that it can be used. Vitamin D can be found in the foods you eat. Our body can also make Vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight.
How Calcium Works The calcium used to harden or strengthen bone comes from our blood and the calcium in our blood comes from the foods we eat. Remember the protein collagen lays a soft framework in the bone. Once the collagen is laid, calcium from the blood fills in the framework, and makes the bone hard.
Calcium-rich Foods Low fat dairy products Yogurt Cheese Milk Items made with milk like pudding Foods "fortified" with Calcium Orange juice Soy milk Cereal
How Much Calcium Calcium in food is measured in milligrams. You can determine how much calcium you need in milligrams, or in servings of calcium- rich foods. Vitamin D is found in a lot of same foods as calcium such a milk.
How Much Calcium Each Day Age (years) Milligrams of Calcium Servings of Calcium-rich foods 4 to 8 8002 9 to 18 1,3003 This sounds like a lot, but think about how big your skeleton is! That calcium has a lot of work to do!
Calcium in Foods 1 cup of plain, fat-free yogurt – 300 mg 1 ½ ounces of cheddar cheese – 305 mg 1 cup of fat free or low fat milk – 300 mg 6 ounces of orange juice with calcium – 200 to 250 mg (varies) 1 cup of a soy beverage with added calcium – about 300 mg (varies) 1 ounce of mozzarella cheese – 207 mg ½ cup pudding made with milk – 147 to 160 mg 1 slice of cheese pizza – 100 mg
Healthy Bones and Teeth Some of the things we need to do for strong bones helps us to have healthy teeth and gums (oral health) too. A balanced diet is important for good oral health. An excellent source of information for a healthy diet can be found at www.mypyramid.gov. www.mypyramid.gov Lack of calcium in our diet might be related to problems with oral health such as gum disease and tooth loss.
Oral Health Be sure to go to the dentist regularly. Your dentist can give you all the information you need for good oral health.
So what if I don't have strong bones? The calcium you eat, and physical activity you do, now, can keep your bones healthy and strong for the future. When there isn't enough calcium in your blood to help build bones your bones begin to lose minerals. This can lead to weak bones that break easily when you are older. Strong bones can keep you healthy and active throughout your lifetime!
So what do you know about building bones? True or False? Running is a weight-bearing activity. Riding a bike is a weight-bearing activity. Doing weight-bearing activity and eating calcium- rich foods are two ways you can build strong bones. Youth aged 9 to 18 need about 500mg of calcium each day. Milk yogurt and cheese are good sources of calcium.

The Swanson Method
In Chicago, Ahern is turning around WBBM with a new antenna, high-profile hires, and lots of parades
In Chicago, Ahern is turning around WBBM with a new antenna, high-profile hires, and lots of parades
The No. 3 market may be the No. 1 test of the Swanson Method. Relying on big-name talent, big-time community outreach, and market-savvy executives, General Manager Joe Ahern is following Dennis Swanson's lead in reviving WBBM Chicago.
Ahern was station manager when then-GM Swanson revitalized ABC's WLS Chicago in the 1980s. Not surprisingly, Ahern, who succeeded Swanson and then headed market leader KGO San Francisco, was near the top of the list of executives Swanson recruited to Viacom. When Swanson ran WLS, he raided other stations and hired some of the city's best-known talent. Ahern is now trying to do the same.
A turnaround begins with closing the ratings gap. In Chicago, Ahern has placed his ratings bet on popular anchor Diann Burns, recently lured from WLS after her contract expired. In the first two weeks of the February sweeps, the bet paid off by substantially narrowing the gap in households with first-place WLS. Sweeps to date, WBBM was tracking in third place in late news vs. fifth place last year, according to the station's ratings data.
Community outreach at WBBM partly means media sponsorship for such events as the local Columbus Day and St. Patrick's Day parades, as well as the Chicago Marathon, the Tall Ships festival, and a 125-mile bike race featuring Lance Armstrong. When Swanson was general manager at WNBC New York, it seemed the station was a major sponsor of just about every major parade.
In 2002, the most recent year for which estimates are available, WBBM took in just $94 million in revenues, according to BIA Financial Network. By comparison, market leader WLS had $172 million, NBC's WMAQ $168.1 million, Tribune's WB affiliate WGN $135 million, and Fox's WFLD $126.4 million. WBBM was not only fifth in revenues but fifth in most ratings categories as well, Ahern said.
Some of WBBM's reclamation work was technical. When Ahern arrived, he and the station's engineers concluded that "26% of the people couldn't get a clear signal." (The CBS station in Philadelphia had a similar problem.) So one of his first priorities was a new antenna and transmitter. It was a multimillion-dollar fix.
With that expensive salvage job completed, Ahern is in the more difficult phase of the Swanson Method: taking an also-ran to the top and dominating for years, as Swanson did at WLS.
It would be a test result that shows up brightly on Viacom's bottom line.

Hubris -- a kind of convulsive, ambitious pride -- was the tragic flaw in many a Greek hero, but it is life's blood to theater people. What else gives them the courage to put epic dreams on a bare stage, to evoke ancient empires with only words and a few props? Arrogance is the mother of theatrical invention, and the spur to Douglas C. Wager's new production of Derek Walcott's The Odyssey at the Arena Stage in Washington.

Athletics 8, Red Sox 5
Mark McGwire homered twice, including a tie-breaking two-run shot in the seventh inning, leading the Oakland Athletics to an 8-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox yesterday at Fenway Park.
After Mike Maddux (0-1) gave up a double to Ruben Sierra -- the only batter he faced -- to lead off the seventh, Stan Belinda came in. McGwire hit his third pitch onto Lansdowne Street.
Orioles 6, Angels 2
Jeff Manto tied a major league record by homering in his fourth straight official at-bat over three games, and host Baltimore beat California. Manto's solo home run in the second inning tied the record set by Johnny Blanchard of the Yankees in 1961, and made him the 24th player in major league history to homer in four straight at-bats.
Pirates 6, Marlins 2
The rookie Esteban Loaiza pitched six and a third strong innings and Pittsburgh prevented Florida from matching its franchise record of five consecutive victories with a triumph in Miami. Florida suffered a bigger blow when Gary Sheffield was lost for the season with torn ligaments in his left thumb. IN OTHER GAMES
Ray Lankford's fourth consecutive hit off Tom Glavine, a two-run single, capped a four-run seventh inning that lifted the visiting St. Louis CARDINALS past the Atlanta BRAVES, 7-3. . . . Butch Henry (1-4) won for the first time in nine starts this season as the Montreal EXPOS beat the GIANTS in San Francisco, 11-5. . . . Shawon Dunston hit a three-run homer and Mike Morgan held the Colorado ROCKIES to five hits over seven-plus innings as the Chicago CUBS snapped a five-game losing streak with a 3-0 victory at Wrigley Field. . . . Jose Valentin hit his first two homers of the year and the Milwaukee BREWERS halted the visiting Cleveland INDIANS' seven-game winning streak with a 6-1 victory. . . . John Smiley improved his record to 5-0 as the visiting Cincinnati REDS defeated the Houston ASTROS, 3-2, winning for the 26th time in 32 games. . . . Kevin Appier threw a four-hitter, pitching the Kansas City ROYALS past the visiting Toronto BLUE JAYS, 8-2.

WASHINGTON --- In a rare defeat for President Obama, the Senate on Monday called for auto dealers to be excluded from the regulations of a proposed consumer financial protection bureau.
The nonbinding 60-30 vote provides direction to lawmakers as they assemble broad Senate and House bills setting new, sweeping controls on Wall Street. The Senate passed its bill last week; the House acted in December.
The House bill already includes an exemption for auto dealers. While the Senate bill does not include such an exclusion, Monday's vote gives auto dealers an extra measure of leverage to avoid the reach of a consumer entity.
Obama has argued against diluting the bill's consumer provisions. The administration has enlisted the help of the Pentagon, which maintains soldiers are especially prone to car loan schemes. Obama himself spoke out against the exclusion last week.
Auto dealers say they only process the loans and then turn them over to other lending institutions for them to administer and service. The exclusion would not apply to auto dealers that provide their own financing, such as Carmax, or to giant auto lender GMAC.
"There's not a single auto dealer on Wall Street," said Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., the leading sponsor of the exclusion. "These are Main Street businesses and they took it on the chin last year."
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn., argued that auto dealers, like community banks and other institutions that assemble mortgages and other loans, should fall under the agency's oversight.
"The second-largest purchase that most Americans make is the purchase of an automobile," he said. "We buy a home and we buy an automobile, and they are expensive. ... We're trying to protect people."
The Senate vote was not as significant as if the auto dealer exclusion had passed as an amendment to the Senate bill. But the vote was strongly bipartisan, with 21 Democrats voting in its favor.
The auto dealers, powerful figures in their communities, have argued that they are simply intermediaries who originate the loans for other lenders to service and administer. The House bill already contains an exception for car dealers. The Senate did not vote on an amendment to exclude the dealers from regulation for Republican tactical reasons aimed at keeping a Democratic amendment on banks from reaching the floor.
Auto dealers might well have more clout than even automakers on Capitol Hill; while automotive factories are scattered here and there around the country, it's hard to imagine a House member without a car dealership in his or her district.
Car dealers made at least $3 million in campaign donations at the federal level this election cycle, with more than two-thirds going to Republicans.

text: 000 FXUS65 KCYS 280257 AFDCYS Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 857 PM MDT Mon Mar 27 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 840 PM MDT Mon Mar 27 2017 Evening water vapor imagery showed a strong upper trough axis from ID south to the Desert Southwest. Deep layer QG ascent extended from UT into western CO and southern WY, producing widespread showers. There were a few lightning strikes detected over extreme northeast UT. A surface low was located northeast of Rawlins with a front over southeast UT with a cold front trailing southwest to a deeper low over southeast UT. Just over a tenth of an inch of rain has fallen at Cheyenne this evening. Showers will continue to spread northeast into the Nebraska Panhandle this evening. West of the Laramie Range, rain was mixing with or changing to snow above 7500 feet. Snow levels will lower to 6500 feet tonight, with 1 to 4 inches expected, heaviest above 8500 feet. Went ahead an issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Tuesday and Tuesday night for Rawlins, Sinclair and the northern Carbon County mountains for snow and blowing snow. Still some uncertainty as to snowfall amounts for Laramie Valley and southern Laramie Range. && .SHORT TERM...(Tonight - Wednesday) Issued at 325 PM MDT Mon Mar 27 2017 Main forecast concern continues to be the strong upper level trough currently over the Great Basin. It still is expected to move southeast across the four corners region and into New Mexico tonight and Tuesday, with midlevel disturbances rounding the trough and moving north/northwest on the eastern edge of the trough. 12Z models are still a bit inconsistent on temperatures through the day as these disturbances move overhead, lending to continued uncertainty on locations within the southern Laramie Range (Including the I-80 summit) and the Laramie Valley as to how much snow they`ll receive Tuesday afternoon through the early evening. Soundings support a mix of rain and snow at Laramie through the day along with some instability, which would likely translate to snow up at the Summit. Sfc winds/mslp model analysis favor the inverted trough slightly more over the Laramie Valley for best sfc convergence and upslope flow though, but the differences between models are just enough to create a few degrees temperature difference across the area which will affect actual snow rates and accumulation, and thus resultant impacts. Hopefully with one more model cycle, confidence will increase whether the Summit and Laramie Valley will need winter weather alerts of some variety, especially if winds increase any further. Temperatures should cool off enough through the evening for all snow in these areas. Further north along the northern Laramie Range, think this pattern is good for that area to get a foot or more of snow with strong winds to warrant inclusion into the Winter Storm Watch. Further west, think the Winter Storm Watch for Snowy Range and the Arlington area looks good. Less snow is forecast elsewhere in the high country (around 2-4") so think that can be handled with an Advisory later on. However, if the next model suite comes in colder, certainly can see more snow accumulation. East of the Laramie Range, temperatures will remain warm enough for light to moderate rain during the day Tuesday and Tuesday evening as plentiful upper level diffluence and isentropic ascent develop over this area. Could see snow down to roughly 5000ft Tuesday night as the sfc trough steadily shifts east and we see colder northerly flow move in. Wednesday will see precip end steadily from west to east through the early part of the day, with temperatures rebounding pretty quickly. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night - Monday) Issued at 325 PM MDT Mon Mar 27 2017 A brief period of quiet weather early in the forecast period as an upper-level low departs across the central/southern plains, giving way to short-wave ridging over the central Rockies. The GFS and EC are in general agreement showing an upper low digging toward the 4 Corners on Friday, with precipitation spreading from W-E across SE Wyoming and the western Nebraska Panhandle through Saturday. Model guidance differs significantly with this system, so our confidence is quite low in precipitation amounts. The GFS is bringing the low south along the Mexican border by Sunday, while the ECM ejects the system northeast into the central plains at the same time. Temps & resulting precipitation types will be heavily dependent on how the storm system evolves, so made few changes this forecast period. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 453 PM MDT Mon Mar 27 2017 Rain is expected to increase in coverage and intensity across much of the area after 03z, and continue through Tuesday. A change-over to snow will occur along/w of the Laramie Range overnight, w/ some potential to spread into CYS on Tuesday morning. VFR prevails into the early evening hours, but conditions will rapidly worsen in the 06z-12z time frame w/ IFR to LIFR ceilings and visibilities likely for all terminals from 12z through much of the day on Tuesday. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 325 PM MDT Mon Mar 27 2017 No fire weather concerns through the middle of this week with widespread precipitation expected across the district along with cooler temperatures. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WY...Winter Storm Watch from 6 AM MDT Tuesday through late Tuesday night for WYZ103-110-114. Winter Weather Advisory from 6 AM Tuesday to 6 AM MDT Wednesday for WYZ104-109.

Gripey and I watch it too and love the show. I'm always wondering how tough it must be though, when everyone goes home after living in such a diet and exercise 'fantasy world'. You know it has to be sooooo hard. I'm pulling for all of them though, I mean it's amazing what they've accomplished in 14 weeks. Wow. Who knew anyone could lose that much weight in 14 weeks. Maybe after Christmas we should have a BL competition....? What d'ya think?

I like this show too! i don't watch it everytime it's on, but I watch it enough to stay informed. I've been looking forward to tonight to see who wins. I like Bill, but it would be nice if one of the women win too! It might be interesting to try that on here. That's a good idea.
12-18-2007, 06:27 PM #14~I've seen every season of BL. There are some things I don't like about the show(like using letters and videos from family as a reward)but mostly it's great. I'd like to see more time spent in the kitchen. They should show complete preparation of at least one healthy meal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to my math, the majority of what a person loses comes from changes in eating habits, not workouts. I'm hoping Bill wins this year.~

Strong Start, weak finish.
The Good
- Clever use of multiple view angles (à-la-24)- very strong story start.
- good immersion,sense of urgency very present.
- Overall first 1/2 of game solid.
The Bad
Right about half point :- False sense of choice
(its either "game over" or go on, no branching tree story)
- You realize whatever you did in the past is irrelevant.
- Story quickly dwindles, you end up doing menial irrelevant things or just pushing buttons for the story to continue
- Ending is... well, very, very bad.
The Bottom Line
Ingenious design. Brilliant concept. Poorly executed.Once you realize that nothing matters, it leaves a rather bitter taste.

How to Plan for a Successful CRM ImplementationBy Alessandra Ceresa You've taken the first step toward success by investing in a CRM, however now it's time to implement it. We understand that this is not always an easy feat, which is why we put together some suggestions for how to easily tackle your CRM implementation. Melissa Beyer, GreenRope's Onboarding Specialist, gave us the following tips for how to prepare: 1. Take your time. We understand that you made the payment and want to get started ASAP, however CRM implementation does not happen overnight. It is a process, and one that takes some thinking. The key is to organize yourself and your team, so that you can ALL start implementing the system as a cohesive team. It does not need to be a drawn out process, but it should not be something you just jump right into without brainstorming. You must have a strategy and process in place before you begin the implementation. 2. Create a business process road map. If you do not already have a business road map, now is the time to create one. Some things to think about:
Establishing a business roadmap allows you to translate your process into a CRM and marketing automation platform more effectively. Just like a roadtrip, if is important to know the journey before you get lost on the roads (if you plan on staying organized and getting to your destination on time). Hint: This directly relates to tip #1. Take your time. 3. Don't learn everything at once. Attempting to learn everything about your new system in one day results in you and your team being overwhelmed. With any new system, there is going to be a learning curve, and you are going to have to accept that. Tackle the system in fragments and build your strategy around which processes are most important to you. You should know where you want to end up (cough, #2), but do not try and do it all at once. Successful implementation takes baby steps, not giant leaps. You have to make sure that you set a strong foundation and build upon that if you want it to work for you and your team. Thanks Melissa for all of your great tips! For more on successful CRM implementation, click here. |

There's a serious lack of patient compliance in between visits to their healthcare practitioner. They hear the advice you give but, no matter how hard they try, they don't always follow all of it.
The Lifestyle Certification offers the opportunity for practitioners involved in healthcare delivery to begin the transition to understanding the broad spectrum of issues involved in disease prevention and wellness. For practitioners that have an interest in patient lifestyle modifications, this certificate provides the necessary coursework to successfully understand the principles of advanced patient wellness.
This 4-part certification program is comprised of modules that focus on coaching methods for healthcare professionals, approaches to motivational counseling and an introduction to the psychology of behavioral change. In addition, the certificate features an advanced course in clinical nutrition which provides a novel approach to health maintenance and wellness.
This module provides information on how to guide the patient to successfully changing lifestyle habits to create sustainable, long-term health. Several steps are discussed to bring the patient through this process and models for success are offered.
This module discusses the immune system and digestion, along with toxins, detoxification and diet. The key avenues for toxin entry are overviewed, along with digestion, absorption, deposition, and utilization of all nutrients. Diet prescription and food preparation are taught and techniques are reviewed for overcoming objections by the patient.
This module focuses on the concept of the co-active coaching model. It discusses fundamentals of the model, the basics of the co-active coaching relationship and the coaching power triangle. The program instructs on how to utilize co-active coaching contexts, principles, practices and other skills.
Several different topics of lifestyle coaching are explored, such as medication-induced nutritional depletions, foods as nutrients, treatment modalities, hormonal balance, energy levels and food additives. The module also discusses other factors that relate to health coaching-such as emotions, intuition, etc.-as well as skills to implement a comprehensive weight loss program for a patient.

Evans is part of a broad, hybridized scene of musical experimentation and his work cuts across a wide range of modern musical practices and traditions. Peter is committed to the simultaneously self-determining and collaborative nature of musical improvisation as a compositional tool, and works with an ever-expanding group of musicians and composers in the creation of new music. His primary groups as a leader are the Peter Evans Quintet and the Zebulon trio. In addition, Evans has been performing and recording solo trumpet music since 2002 and is widely recognized as a leading voice in the field, having released several recordings over the past decade. He is a member of the cooperative groups Pulverize the Sound (with Mike Pride and Tim Dahl) and Rocket Science (with Evan Parker, Craig Taborn and Sam Pluta) and is constantly experimenting and forming new configurations with like minded players.

• Show Bio for Craig Taborn
"Craig Marvin Taborn (/ˈteɪˌbɔːrn/; born February 20, 1970) is an American pianist, organist, keyboardist and composer. He works solo and in bands, mostly playing various forms of jazz. He started playing piano and Moog synthesizer as an adolescent and was influenced at an early stage by a wide range of music, including by the freedom expressed in recordings of free jazz and contemporary classical music.
While at university, Taborn toured and recorded with jazz saxophonist James Carter. Taborn went on to play with numerous other musicians in electronic and acoustic settings, while also building a reputation as a solo pianist. He has a range of styles, and often adapts his playing to the nature of the instrument and the sounds that he can make it produce. His improvising, particularly for solo piano, often adopts a modular approach, in which he begins with small units of melody and rhythm and then develops them into larger forms and structures.
In 2011, Down Beat magazine chose Taborn as winner of the electric keyboard category, as well as rising star in both the piano and organ categories. By May 2016, Taborn had released six albums under his own name and appeared on more than eighty as a sideman."

• Show Bio for John Hollenbeck
"John Hollenbeck is a composer of music uncategorizable beyond the fact of being always identifiably his. A conceptualist able to translate the traditions of jazz and new music into a fresh, eclectic, forward-looking language of his own invention, intellectually rewarding yet ever accessibly vibrant. A drummer and percussionist possessed of a playful versatility and a virtuosic wit. Most of all, a musical thinker - whether putting pen to paper or conjuring spontaneous sound - allergic to repetition, forever seeking to surprise himself and his audiences. [...]
Hollenbeck received degrees in percussion and jazz composition from the Eastman School of Music before moving to New York City in the early 1990s. He was profoundly shaped by the mentorship of two hugely influential artists: trombonist/arranger/composer Bob Brookmeyer and composer/choreographer Meredith Monk. His relationship with Brookmeyer reached back to the age of 14, when he attended the SUNY Binghamton Summer Jazz Workshop, and continued at Eastman, through NEA-funded composition study, and finally on the bandstand with Brookmeyer's New Art Orchestra and in the studio with Brookmeyer and trumpet great Kenny Wheeler. For Monk, Hollenbeck composed and performed the percussion scores for five of her works: "Magic Frequencies," "Mercy," "The Impermanence Project," "Songs of Ascension" and "On Behalf of Nature."
Hollenbeck's awards and honors include four Grammy nominations; the 2012 Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, the 2010 ASCAP Jazz Vanguard Award and a 2007 Guggenheim Fellowship; winning the Jazz Composers Alliance Composition Contest in 1995 and 2002; Meet the Composer's Grants in 1995 and 2001; and a Rising Star Arranger win in the 2012 and 2013 DownBeat Critics' Polls as well as in 2011 for the JHLE as Rising Star Big Band. John was a professor of Jazz Drums and Improvisation at the Jazz Institute Berlin from 2005-2016 and in 2015 joined the faculty of McGill University's Schulich School of Music."
