Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by missflick, Jan 23, 2011.
Mike Leno looks horrendous.
I still think Simon is hot.
Lordy, Robert Smith hasn't aged!
Def Leppard! Still awesome in concert.
1) He is! (And he stilll whines when he sings)
2) Yes, but makeup can cover a lot.
Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet didn't age very well. Must be all the booze. I had a HUGE crush on him back in the day. The most handsome man with a great voice
This really reinforces the fact that beauty is ephemeral. Or as Mick said, "Time can tear down a building, or destroy a woman's face." But the "now" pictures are not particularly flattering either. David Gahan from Depeche Mode is still HOTT (saw him a year ago) but you wouldn't know it from his photo, and Jon Bon Jovi looks much better than his picture would suggest. Still, the rest of the guys have not held up particularly well.
Pointer Sisters really held up well, haven't they?
That format was really annoying to scroll through - they should have the then-and-now photos next to each other. Mike Reno
and eys, Duran Duran is still
But Robert Smith? Didn't get to his photo here, but he's looked an old hot mess for over a decade.
I was only just saying this the other day. Simon was cute back then and is still very cute in a kind of older way.
Can't believe that Loverboy is still around, along with Twisted Sister and the Pointer Sisters.
I was thinking that in general the women have held up better than the men, but the cynic in me just wondered whether they've all had plastic surgery.
Hey, don't diss my Blubberboy.
Although HAWT Phil was shown on the news jamming on guitar with (wait for it....)
Mike Huckabee
Jon Bon Jovi looks great these days. Still smokin' hot! Still puts on a great show. Richie Sambora not so much...he and Heather Locklear too much booze.
I know. I was totally angst ridden over it. Do you know if Phil had his shirt off? I could probably watch it if Phil was shirtless.
I think you can still age somewhat gracefully if you've kept your weight in check and took good care of your skin ...and didn't smoke, do drugs, etc. Most of these guys have gained weight, and probably had no idea what moisturizer and/or sunscreen was during their 20s.
How come Europe and Asia aren't represented here?
John Taylor (my of band crushes) of Duran Duran is looking a bit rougher than he did in the '80's, but he was so pretty back then it only manned him up a bit. He's still .
Glad to oblige: Ladies and gentlemen, the drummer from Asia, Carl Palmer!http://www.promark.com/images/uploads/news/news_carlpalmer.jpg
Cool. My guess is that that's a "now" shot.
One of the greatest drummers of all time
Yep, say ELP twice, once in 1978, next in 1993. And yes Neptune, that picture was taken in 2009!
Wow, that sure takes me back. (The same way that "Do they know its Christmas" takes me back....yes, I can recognize and name every single singer. Although I do think it's eyeroll-worthy that they gave the line with the word "sting" in it to Sting to sing. And, hey, let's give the line about Christmas bells to the Irish Catholic dude!)
Yeah, Simon still looks good. I was definitely a fan of his back in the day.
Yes but then one of the 3 in the "Now" picture is the grand daughter of one of the sisters.

Hey TDH-ers! Let me pick your buckets for a minute:
I'm doing some stunt props for a fanfilm. I'm using PVC on the stunt sabers instead of sink tailpipe (which is what the heros are made out of) and I'm having trouble painting up the stunt sabers to look like thier hero counterparts. I know topcoats take away a love of silvers' luster, but ANY paints I've used just don't have the shine I'm wanting. I haven't used Rub-n-Buff, but I think even it is too matte for the shine look I'm going for. Any suggestions? Help me Obi-Dent Kenobis!

I've recently dove head-first into assembling a great Jango costume, and have already started doing some mods to it (i.e. remote rangefinder from Salamander King and others) in an effort to take it to the next level. However, there are two mods that I want to do that I'm not sure of. One of these modifications (chest armor) takes into account the comparison between Jango and Boba, and the second mod (gauntlet) is what to do with what I feel might be a gap in intended design and actual completion of the costume and what actually made it to the screen.
MOD One- would it be a cardinal sin to add the digital read out Jango's chest armor to the costume? Otherwise, what is the point of having these recessed rectangular sections in his chest armor?
Google Image Result for http://www.tk409.com/images/fett/armor/chestdisplay/2.jpg
MOD Two- Would it be also bad to incorporate a small back-lit digital panel with numbers of some kind on the gauntlet. As you can see, there are indentations here again (for some reason)...I think it is for another readout of some kind.
I'm not familiar with how "approval" is done with the 501st and how critical that approval authority is with changes like this to the costume.
I'd love to hear some input from everyone on this.....

The .380 ACP cartridge is only slightly more powerful (whatever that means) than is the .32, although the former's slight edge moves it into the "effective" class, while the .32 stays behind as (relatively) ineffective.
However, neither is anything like a "man stopper."
That being the case, my own opinion is that you have no reason to switch to the P3AT.
A better thought would be to practice being very accurate with your .32, over and over again, until your shot placement automatically and perfectly matches wherever you're looking. Doing that will convert your seemingly-ineffective pistol into a relatively effective one, at least at up-close-and-personal distances.

Just purchased/received a set of gauntlets (unfinished). Thought I was getting a set of Boba gauntlets, turns out they are Jango gauntlets. As far as I can tell they are basically the same with the exception of:
On the right gaunt the nozzle inlet on the top is missing.
On the left gaunt it appears the flat section for the calculator is missing.
Are these the two main differences between them. If so, can anyone reccomend a way of altering the left gaunt to add the calculator piece? Can add pics if necessary. Thanks.

A U.S. helicopter srike north of Baghdad resulted in the death of several children when airmen were supposedly targeting al-Qaida forces. Associated Press TV news footae shod the bodies of three children n blod-drenched clothes, along with the bodies of five men,at the hospital in Beiji where the dead were taken. Beiji police Colonel Mudhher al-Qaisi said the children and eight civilian farmers were killed, the farmers were fleeing from an area where US forces were engaged in fighting. He said the helicopter became suspicious of the men and opened fire.
The American forces fired at the vehicle because it displayed what someone said was "hostile intent." No explanation was offered by the military why the vehicle aroused suspicion or what exactly was the "hostile intent" of the car. Spokesman Colonel Jerry O'Hara said, the United States "sincerely regrets when any innocent civilians are injured, resulting from terrorists locating themselves in and around them. We take every precaution to protect innocent civilians and engae only hostile threats."
There is no question that terrorist groups use civilians, but that does not mean every time an American unit kills civilians it was due to them being among terrorists. In any war, mistakes are made. The American armed forces, when guilty of mistakes, should acknowledge them and stop trying to explain away the error by claiming it was the fault of terrorists.

Location: Insect Behavior and Biocontrol ResearchTitle: Ladybeetle is an important insect predator of the silverleaf whitefly Author
Submitted to: FAMU-CESTA-CBC Newsletter
Publication Type: Popular Publication
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/25/2009
Publication Date: 12/1/2009
Citation: Legaspi, J.C. 2009. Ladybeetle is an important insect predator of the silverleaf whitefly. FAMU-CESTA-CBC Newsletter. 8(1):6. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The ladybeetle, Delphastus catalinae, is an important insect predator of the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii. This whitefly species causes damage to plants through direct feeding and transmission of plant diseases. D. catalinae is a voracious predator of whiteflies in various plants such as vegetables, ornamentals, horticultural and row crops. This beetle is also mass produced by biological control companies and is popularly sold in commercial greenhouses, especially in Europe. Drs. J. C. Legaspi and A. Simmons (USDA, ARS, Charleston, SC) studied the predation, development and reproduction of this predator to optimize its use in mass rearing and augmentation in field conditions. They fed immature and adult D. catalinae with the silverleaf whitefly on tomato leaves under the following temperatures: 22, 26 and 30 ºC. Female adults weighed slightly more than males. As temperature increased from 22 to 30 ºC, immature development time from eggs to pupae declined from 24 to 15 days, and adult longevity ranged from 138 and 77 days. Thermal units required for immature development was ˜300 degree-days. Delphastus catalinae was found to perform better at 22 and 26 ºC; 30 ºC was detrimental to immature development and adult reproduction. This information will aid in development of biological control tactics against the silverleaf whitefly.

John Harrigan: Dumpster-diving bears, rockets and a real patriotic ending
JOHN HARRIGAN | July 06. 2013 7:41PM
I liked the way the New Hampshire Union Leader's Bob Hookway put it: "Families of unruly black bears seeking food have been hauling trash out of dumpsters and throwing it around, threatening to tap into a store's grain supply, and generally alarming campground visitors."
Carole Clark, at the Scenic View Campground, said that the bears are scaring customers (somehow this reminds me of the old adage that once the camel's nose is under the tent the entire camel comes in), and that when some campers went to the dumpster to throw some trash (i.e., to a bear, food), they couldn't because the dumpster was full of bears. (Imagine a hapless camper encountering the rear-ends of dumpster-diving bears.)
If I did, I'd stand up at town meeting and advocate reopening the town dump.
That's where we went as teenagers on double dates to be up close and personal in a touchy-feely way with the bears, or something.
When the town of Jefferson was forced to close its dump, the rats had to go somewhere, which was my house on Route 2 just beyond the Waumbek Golf Course, where Cedric Phelps Road comes in.
The ATV thing is taking off like Warren's rocket (sort of), and will, I think, eclipse snowmobiling in three years or less.
The Fourth is the only major holiday without a guilt trip. It's everybody's birthday.
We could have joined the parade, but preferred to park the Jeep in a tight spot on Main Street (hey, that's what Jeeps do best), and the owner of a '54 Jeep backed up to give me extra space.

The Appalachian Highlands Birding Trail will hold an official launch at the Mountain Center in Heflin, Ala., on December 1, 2012. The Mountain Center is located at 6751 Hwy 78 in Cleburne County. This event will be led by Jacksonville State University, Cleburne County representatives, as well as local officials and civic leaders. The nine counties that make up the trail are Blount, Calhoun, Cherokee, Cleburne, Etowah, Jefferson, St. Clair, Shelby and Talladega. Three years in development, the Appalachian Highlands Birding Trail features 38 approved sites covering an area of over 4 million acres.
Several activities will take place on December 1 beginning at 10 a.m. including a Birdwatching for Beginners program, exhibits on Cheaha State Park and the Mountain Longleaf Wildlife Refuge, music from guitarist Joshua Turner and several learning stations on birds. The official opening ceremony will take place at 1:30 p.m. Events and vending are scheduled until 3 p.m.
The trail will be marked with directional signs and there will be interpretative signs at many sites featuring an overall trail map and information on the types of birds most commonly spotted at that site. There will be "gateway" sites (visitor centers) in several counties with trail maps and information pertinent to that county. When completed, www.alabamabirdingtrails.com will offer detailed information about all of Alabama's eight birding trails.
This birding trail is not only a valuable means of attracting more visitors to Alabama, it is also a great educational resource for students and an opportunity for inexpensive family outings. Schools can use the trail sites for field trips and families can visit on weekends or holidays. Alabama has one of the most diverse habitats in the Southeast, with a tremendous range of birds that can be seen in the state and on the Appalachian Birding Trail.
The Alabama Birding Trails Project is funded by the Alabama Tourism Department, with technical assistance from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Birmingham Audubon Society, The Alabama Ornithological Society and local leaders within each region. The University of Alabama Center for Economic Development (UCED) is providing project management and oversight.

My first thought was that it might be a sticker, but as I squinted from the couch, and realized what it most likely was, I groaned inwardly....
Apparently, we are now decorating our windows with bologna. How this escaped notice for so long is beyond me. I'm pretty sure I had given the twins a Lunchables as a treat four days prior to my noticing bologna on the door. Ewwwww. And I'm pretty sure it was not on the door that whole time. Which means it was stashed, somewhere (???) and retrieved later to hang on the door.
Two Bears Farm is now leading the world in a revolutionary new line of home decor. Cost effective, too, to decorate your walls with bologna. Much cheaper than Rembrants.
Happy birthday to my Dad today! I hope this made him smile :-)

Q & A Spotlight with Adam Jones
How do you feel that your experiences as a student-athlete at the University at Buffalo prepared you for life after college?
The late 60's was a tumultuous time with issues such as the Vietnam War, civil rights and a social revolution in music, media and cultural values causing political and social unrest in our nation. That mood was reflected at UB where a significant number of students held athletics in low regard as opposed to the ongoing political and social debate. As a student-athlete at UB, I was part of a supportive group who did not agree with this view. We believed that athletics was, and always will be, an important part of campus and alumni life. Fortunately, our view of university life has again returned to our national campuses.
But being at UB during that time, I learned the importance of defining yourself and your friends by your beliefs and values. Standing up for what you believe in, whether politically, socially or athletically, even if it is not a popular view at the time. It was a great life lesson to learn at a young age, and it has served me well in the years after UB.
What does your connection with the BLOCK B Letter Winners Association mean to you?
The efforts of BLOCK B have afforded me the opportunity to reconnect with college friends and appreciate how very important those college friendships are. Friends I thought I would never see again are, once again, part of my life and not just at BLOCK B events.
As a BLOCK B member, what would you suggest/recommend to other former student-athletes who have yet to join this elite group of supporters?
I suggest that all student/athletes from UB take advantage of this immense opportunity to see old friends and meet new ones. BLOCK B makes it easy to regain friendships from the past and make new ones for the future with people who all share UB athletics in common.
What was your most memorable moment/event as a UB student-athlete?
I guess I will never forget football games in the mud and rain at the old Rotary Field. What a mess but one that never dampened the day!!
Where is Adam Jones Today?

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Is anyone planning on trying the 24 Hour Zine Challenge during the month of July? It's less than a week away, and I haven't seen any chatter about it on here as of yet.
I did it last year and was very pleased with the results! And, it really is a creative rush, especially those final few hours. So I might just do it again!
Views: 97
I just finished mine <3
Subject matter includes getting the honor to be in American Mary,the panel I will be hosting at Geek Girl Con, the PPNNE zine anthology and workshop, relationships, mental illness, horror films, trying to be professional when people try to bring you down, using the name Hannah Neurotica vs. my real name, and lot's of other stuff on my mind these days. It is handwritten within a 24 period.
I will trade <3
1/4 size
39 pags.
cover illustration by Miki Hickel.
Photocopies cost 10 cents a page.
The zine is 5 full double sided peices of paper = 1.00 a copy
One stamp is 42 cents but I put flyers for other artists in the package so it's like 84 cents at least to ship.
Paypal takes out a small percentage so I am guessing something like
So ideal donation would be $3
If you would like to donate more it will go toward more photocopies/materials and creative support<3
paypal: email@example.com
Finished mine last night- in 4 hours!
Forget Me Not: a 24 hour zine. European cities and lost love.
"We will never have Paris. I remember in Paris you told me you didn't want to live with me. You did anyway."
1/4 size, 24 pages.
$1 Canada and US, $2 International
I used pictures from my trip so it's at least pretty. I'll post pictures soon and I would love to trade. <3
We are having a 24 Hour Zine Challenge in Portland at theIPRC this weekend.
It is a benefit for the Portland Zine Symposium and you can sponsor zinesters. if they complete the zine you pay your pledge but if they don't, you don't have to pay. All sponsorships of $10 or more means you get the completed zine delivered directly to you!
So, $10 donated to the Portland Zine Symposium gets you a copy of whatever zine I create in a few days. If you donate $25 I'll throw in some extra goodies for the effort.

This Vintage Chanel Denim Makeup Bag Sold For $558
Posted by Admin under Uncategorized | Permalink | | Leave A Comment
Few things seem to excite style mavens more than vintage Chanel, but when this vintage denim Chanel makeup bag hit Nasty Gal, it was an intense moment for all of us. Many of us clicked frantically to check our savings account balances, and debated whether this morsel was worth dropping $558 on. In the end, someone thought so, cause it's since sold out. But we just couldn't bring ourselves to do it.
…But seriously, how sweet would it be to pull out this baby in the ladies room when you're powdering your nose?!
Whoever snagged it, you're one lucky duck.

YouTube - D-Wade does AI
Sorry so late 2 Tough! Kobe 61 pts , 3 assists= 67 pts LeBron 52 pts, 11 assists = 74 pts Triple Double I'll say bron's was better!
Because at his age, dyess runs like a camel! Bless his heart!
Well Curry didnt miss the free throws , still........ we won a game by ONLY 3 points AS we held Wade to 10 of 31 shooting!!! This is still a dysfunctional team..........
Right On, king Kong Bye Bye ButtaFly!
u forget the CHARLOTTE game ?? LOL
How can curry figured out how to coach a 4th quarter? He's only coached 46 OF THEM!! LOL What the hell was Joe thinking? ...rookie coach my abernathy!!!
but now that i think of it....why is maimi's rookie coach's 25-21 better than OUR rookie coach's 25-21? LOL
who? .....oh, the baby maker!
Ive been saying that since we went 4 -1, Slipster!!
Lee, you really do have to stop watching games based on your very obvious favortism. Your posts are nothing if not at least consistent. Some of us have actually been watching basketball for 40 years and if you cant see that Amir has the CEILING POTENTIAL of , oh say, a JOHN SALLEY at BEST (and right now , he is STILL LIGHT YEARS away from that), you would understand that what he does ONE Play at a time is nothing like what MOST players do 25 plays A NIGHT. Not a put down for YOU, Lee-O , just an observation by a guy who actually watches OTHER NBA games ever since watching Lew alcindor put 39 on the Celtics in 1969. >

And thats how we should be using Amir and max if the INMATES werent running the asylum. Just put in a tape of Chuck D coaching (while listening to Chuck D rapping..hahaha) andCurry could learn a LOT!!!
Jermaine O Neal....a perfect example of a kid who got NO BURN in his first years in portland but became a All Star bcuz he was TALENTED from the get go. Amir was the LAST player chosen in the Draft not bcuz he was TALENTED but bcuz he was a PROJECT and for all he COULD have, if he had TALENT , he breaks through the bad coaching that also has led to his underachieving.
What's McDyess's ceiling? The guy was threatening to retire earlier this season if Denver wouldn't release him. We tried Dyess last year and it didn't work. We are a much worse team now, so what's the point? If you ignore the overall +/- between these 2 guys, which is very far apart, then there is still this stat: We outscore our opponent during 54.1% of Amir's stints. We outscore our opponent during 38.5% of Dyess's stints. As I showed earlier, these 2 players score at almost the same rate. The difference is that Amir is scoring off of other players' misses while Dyess is scoring off designed plays. Even if they converted at the same rate, Amir's service would be much more valuable to overall team FG% b/c he's doing it off of rebs and adding possessions. But, Amir is actually converting at a much higher rate on top of it. Most teams out there have an athletic garbage man on the court. It is an extremely valuable, but underappreciated role. It doesn't look pretty, but it takes a lot of energy.
..............my head just imploded!
thanks, Brother techster!
When you guys stop looking at numbers and realize NBA players DONT (see Kevin Garnett vs Amir) , you will understand that theday Amir gets 17 rebounds on 2 bad knees and 14 yrs in this league, will be the day i marry Oprah! Thats my FREEKIN POINT, number 22.
NBA execs DO. And for good reason. If you don't, you end up overpaying for a bunch of overhyped no defense playing egomaniacs. You end up signing guys like Marbury because he put up some flashy stats. How do you explain the team's ineffectiveness with Dyess on the floor? Is it merely bad luck repeating itself over and over? You don't think it is possible that he will end up shooting shots that Sheed could just as easily shoot? It's all about how 5 guys work together, not which 5 guys are the best.
they've been pretty effective with dice in the floor if you ask me...

'"I know I took a step back this year for production at times," Stafford said. "Obviously, that went hand in hand with how the team was doing. If I was producing like I was at certain points last year, we could've won a couple more games. You win a couple more games, you're in the playoffs."'
Stafford has some points to ponder

Hey everyone, heres my question. I have a mossberg 702. Its a great gun but is a cheap gun. I would like to dress it up some. Either swapping out the stock for a wood or laminate stock, or going all-out tactical with it. Has anyone done anything like this? I would really like to get it looking like an M1 if I could, but for that I would probably have to make my own components.
I havent found much available online.


text: This is a pure soy wax. Most people have luck pouring this wax around 100-110 degrees F. It has a melt point of 120-125. This wax can be poured at higher temperatures, but may require a heat gun to smooth out the tops. This wax is also great for blending with other waxes, such as paraffin or beeswax. For container candles. Recommended fragrance usage is 6% - 9%.

That deal will probably save you about $150.00 against getting a new one. If it's in good shape, and you don't want to spend the extra money to get a new one, I'd say go for it. You can always replace any parts that may go bad, and if they are treated right, they will last you a lifetime.
Good luck either way.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Junior guard Stallon Saldivar does a lot for the Northern Arizona basketball team. He will face his toughest test to date when he leads the Lumberjacks against Brigham Young at 7 p.m. in the Lumberjack Classic Wednesday at Tim's Toyota Center in Prescott Valley.
"It is a big game for us," said Saldivar. "Utah and BYU have always been the top tier schools of Utah. They have been a big powerhouse and I grew up watching them and seen some pretty good players come through there."
Saldivar, a Utah native and graduate of Judge Memorial in Salt Lake City, won a Utah state title as a junior and led his school to a pair of top-five state finishes in his prep career. He was named the 2008 3A State Tournament Most Valuable Player, while earning all-state and all-region first team honors.
"I am excited to play them," said Saldivar. "They have some good players and I am excited to see how we do against them."
Saldivar, one of three returning starters for the Lumberjacks, has been carrying a heavy load for the Lumberjacks this season. He scored a career-high 17 points against Arizona Christian and added 11 points against Northern New Mexico. He has recorded three of his top six scoring performances in the first six games this season, averaging 8.0 points per game while averaging 5.3 assists per game.
"I have taken the role when the shot clock is down at the end of possessions to be aggressive," said Saldivar, who had a career-high seven rebounds and seven assists at Loyola Marymount on Saturday. "I have always been a pass first type point guard finding my teammates. That will never change with me but if I have to score the ball to win some games than I do not have a problem with that."
Saldivar, who played on a sixth-grade AAU team coached by NBA Hall of Famer John Stockton and former Phoenix Sun and Utah Jazz standout Jeff Hornecek, ranked 31st in Division I in assists per game at 5.4 while leading the Big Sky Conference in 2010-11. He was also seventh in the nation assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.88.
Head Coach Mike Adras likes the leadership Saldivar has shown this season as well as the improved scoring punch.
"He has been one of our steady guys so far this year," said Adras. "Stallon has done a nice job especially in the last couple games dictating the tempo, distributing the ball extremely well and scoring points for us. He is really doing it all over the court for us. It is great to see from somebody who has as much experience as he does."
The game against BYU is dubbed the Lumberjack Classic but it being held at a neutral court at Tim's Toyota Center in Prescott Valley 87 miles from the Mountain campus in Flagstaff. The Lumberjacks are playing in Prescott Valley for the second consecutive season. The game serves as a unique chance for NAU Athletics to highlight NAU's Extended Campuses including the local NAU Prescott campus. NAU has 35 campuses across the state of Arizona.
"We are playing in Arizona so hopefully there are more NAU fans than BYU," said Saldivar, who had 11 assists and three points against Alabama State last season in Prescott Valley. "I don't know if you can call it a home court advantage but we are certainly closer to home and have less traveling."
Home game or not, Saldivar sees the contest as another chance for the young Lumberjack team to get better against a quality opponent like BYU, a team coming off a 30-win season and the first Sweet 16 appearance in school history.
"We are so young it has to all be progress every day we step out here," said Saldivar. "We can't look back and what we have done in the past. Everything is new to us. I see lot of production out of the new guys and hopefully we can build on that. Everything we do in the offseason and preseason is for Big Sky play. It is where the games really count."
The game can be heard on the Lumberjack Radio Network on 105.1 FM The Big Talker in Flagstaff, Prescott and Sedona and online via The Big Talker website and their mobile app. BYU TV (Direct TV 374, Dish Network 9403 and ONLINE) will also televise the game from Tim's Toyota Center.
Fans can purchase tickets at www.gettix.net or by calling (866) 443-8849. Ticket prices for the game at Tim's Toyota Center start as low as $19. For fans that are looking to attend the game in a large group, a limited number of group tickets can be purchased now by calling (480) 620-9039.

text: The road to leadership was the focus of the 2013 Ethnic Minority Affairs conference EMAC Chair Christine Boseman led conference participants in a moment of silence for Nelson Mandela. Building professional networks, hearing from ethnic minorities who faced and surmounted roadblocks as they became leaders themselves, and attending an array of informative workshops were the highlights of this year's Ethnic Minority Affairs Committee conference on December 6 and 7.More than 110 participants listened to inspiring speakers and attended workshops over the course of the weekend at the Sheraton Framingham. Sessions included "Family and Community School Partnerships," "Facing History and Ourselves" and an "Analysis of the Portrayal of African-Americans in the movies 'Django' and 'Lincoln.' "The conference began Friday with a moment of silence for human and civil rights icon Nelson Mandela of South Africa, who died Thursday, Dec. 5 at the age of 95. EMAC Chair Christine Boseman welcomed the crowd and called for greater activism by ethnic minorities in the MTA and in the National Education Association. "I like to point out that all human beings are part of some ethnic group, and most people find themselves in the minority at some point in their lives," she said. "But EMAC's mission statement specifies that our committee be particularly concerned about increasing participation" by ethnic minority members. She implored members to join committees and watch for opportunities to serve. "For everyone, time is an issue," she said. "But I find that if the cause is important enough, most people find a way to make time." The keynote address was delivered by Fitchburg Mayor Lisa Wong, now in her fourth term. Wong, first elected at the age of 28, is the first ethnic minority mayor in Fitchburg's almost 250-year history and the first female Asian-American mayor in Massachusetts. She told conference participants that one of her greatest accomplishments as mayor has been "tearing down the walls" between departments, people and institutions. Collaboration between the police, the city and the schools, for example, has brought a new, positive focus to creating activities for young people in the city. She said that inviting artists into a collaboration between Fitchburg State University, the schools and the city "just grew and grew." Wong credits her success to the strong family legacy of education built by her grandmother, an orphan in China who fled the Cultural Revolution and moved to Hong Kong. A factory worker, she had six children, but she wouldn't let any of them work in the factory even though the family needed the income. Instead, each of the children would get an education and hold a professional degree. Wong said she is "living out the values that were instilled" by her grandmother.Juan Nuñez, former chief diversity officer at UMass Boston and an inclusion specialist, spoke to conference participants on Saturday. In his introduction, MTA President Paul Toner said Nuñez "has taken the lessons that life has doled out and turned them into positive ones." He said that while at UMass, Nuñez "advanced a campus climate that was respectful and supportive of academic, social and personal development." Toner said that Nuñez managed his own career trajectory by using a combination of flexibility and strategic planning and by "working harder than others, taking on problems and dealing with issues that others avoided, and not dwelling on the negative." Nuñez said his family, which moved to the United States so the children could get an education, prepared him to take on life's challenges, but not before he experienced the contradictory and confusing messages that ethnic minorities sometimes face. He recounted his early career in sales in a major drug company, saying he was one of the most productive in his group and had been told that he would be promoted in two years if he hit certain benchmarks. He did meet his sales numbers, only to find out that in fact he would not be promoted, and he was eventually fired. The person who replaced him, he said, "did not look like me" and was promoted despite lesser qualifications. But with much perseverance, going on to get college degrees and seeking out the right mentors, Nuñez learned to "manage" negative experiences and stay positive. "I dealt with it, I thought about it, and I moved on," he said. The Ethnic Minority Affairs Committee was founded in 1979 to implement the MTA Ethnic Minority Involvement Plan, which is designed to increase the participation of members from diverse backgrounds in all phases of the association. A full set of photos of the Ethnic Minority Affairs Committee Conference is available on the MTA's Flickr page .

Stella McCartney To Release Eco-Friendly Denim In Spring 2014
Posted by Admin under Uncategorized | Permalink | | Leave A Comment
Denim has always been a staple of the Stella McCartney collections and has been featured on the runway in previous seasons. For Spring 2014, the range is expanded into an offering of up to 10 styles in 20 washes including prints and colors that complement the designer's ready-to-wear collection.
The increase in styles this season focuses on jeans and shorts in either skinny leg, wide leg or boyfriend fit with a low, high or mid-rise. Washes including over dyed, faded and degrade come in classic shades of indigo, white, grey and black; while a fresh spring palette consists of rose, lipstick and chamomile. Prints are playful in a black and white heart print and subtle in all black subtle leopard.
The range features a new denim technology including high recovery fabric that reduces stretching due to wear while also shaping the body. Continuing the designer's commitment to sustainability, 8 styles are 100% organic cotton, farmed using a water efficient process that does not involve harmful chemicals, restores and maintains soil health.
Additionally no sand blasting has been used, a technique commonly used in denim which is harmful to workers due to the high exposure toxic silica in the air. All the denim styles are 100% made in Italy.
The denim range will ship 3 times a year and is available to retailers at market starting tomorrow for a November delivery with a retail price range from $350 to $595.

The small town of Grafenberg which is located 20 miles north of Nuremberg has refused to allow Neo-Nazis groups like followers of the National Democratic Party (NPD) to take over their town and transform it into a center of hate and violence. For several years, neo-Nazis have staged several rallies in Granfenberg which is the site of a memorial to WWI and WWII men who died in battle. A Citizens' Forum was established to organize discussions and have anti-demonstrations when NPD bullies show up spouting racism, anti-semitism and revisionist ideas which claim there was no Holocaust. On many occasions at least 2,000 local people together with hundreds of police are present to challenge the neo-Nazis. The town has also put on a "Woodcutting Day" on which men use buzz saws to drown out Nazi talk. They have had 'Sweep day" when they take out brooms to sweep out the dirt coming from the mouths of the Nazis.
In the aftermath of the Holocaust, Germans have done a remarkable job of confronting their past and trying to create a new one in which racism has no place. Last year, NPD followers beat up eight Indians shouting "Foreigners Out." Granfenberg intends to use the slogan, "Nazis Out."

I bought a t8.1 at the end of the summer specifically for living legends. Since pistols aren't the most stable for aiming at long range (and I didn't like the 9.1) I decided to mod some things for the t 8.1
This is most of the idea I have. It'll have a folding stock too but that is still in the works for now.
This is what I've gotten done so far, just notching out the rail to sit flush with the top of the marker. Didn't realize the rail I bought was a bit warped but oh well.
Compact first strike set up

You could try one of the old bottomline stocks, and attach it via the rear frame screw. Just an idea. Otherwise, looks like you know where your going with it, good luck!
Posted 26 December 2012 - 10:44 PM
yeah I have an idea for a stock, it's just hard for me to describe it. Have to get a couple things from the hardware store tomorrow and then I should be good to start working on it again.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 09:11 PM
I have the same exact plan actually. I used it last year in a configuration where I had a remote line to the mag on a 13/3k on my vest. It worked but I didn't have a stock. I've been trying to figure out a stock but haven't gotten it yet. If you'd share your idea I'd appreciate it
My thought was to make something and attach it to the back cap, but I'm not sure.

I might actually have extra materials for a stock, depending on how I make it. I'll let you know how it comes out and I might have a present for you at legends.

Haha thanks. I will try my hand at a few in the mean time.

Hi guys, I have been hunting this little swamp near my cabin for years. Lots of woodies occasional mallards and geese. What i would like to start doing is putting some work into it to try and keep the population and increase the frequency of ducks coming to the pond. Its a fairly large beaver pond that is connected to a swamp/marsh.
I have been doing a lot of research and trying to figure out what food to plant but the problem is most of the places ive seen rice or the like planted its on a plot of land that gets flooded. This place has no changes in water level, its very muddy and not really able to wade in it. do you plant food on the banks? really would like some info on this.
Also planning on building some wood duck boxes.
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Good hunting!

It took a year and the patience of both owner Helen Alexander and Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey to make Altesse a graded stakes winner, but the plan finally came to fruition on Sunday afternoon when the 5-year-old A.P. Indy mare dug in on the rail to defeat favored Spring Waltz by a neck in the 14th running of the Grade 3, $107,600 Turnback the Alarm Handicap for fillies and mares at nine furlongs. The race was the feature on the closing day of the 2008 Belmont Park Fall Championship Meet. Racing will resume on Wednesday with the Opening Day of the Aqueduct Fall Meet. First race post is 12:30 p.m.
It was an exceptional race.
Breaking from post 3, Altesse and jockey John Velazquez opened a length and half lead over So Glitzy but maintained a comfortable pace of 25.38, 49.41, 1:13.72 and 1:37.88 on a track that started out "good" but was "fast" by mid-afternoon.
Spring Waltz, winless in two starts since taking Gulfstream Park's Grade 2 Rampart Handicap back in March, moved forwardly and made a wide move to challenge the leader with a furlong to go and actually took a slight lead.
Altesse, however, came back inside to win in 1:50.02.
"She is so very game," said Velazquez as Altesse returned $6.40. "She is such a nice horse. She tries hard all the time, no matter what, and you saw that today."
So Glitzy was third, followed by Rolling Sea, Morning Chop and Nijinsky Bullet.
Gary Contessa was the leading trainer of the Belmont Fall Championship Meet with 16 winners, one more than Richard Dutrow Jr.
Edgar Prado led all the jockeys with 43 wins. Eibar Coa was a distant second with 31 victories.
Winning trainer Shug McGaughey of Altesse (No. 3): "We thought we had her set up for this race last year at Aqueduct, when the rein broke. She was eased. She had won two or three of those overnight stakes, but we wanted to win a graded stakes with her. I want to thank Helen (Alexander, owner) for keeping her in training That was a pretty good race."
Winning jockey John Velazquez: "She is so very game. She is such a nice horse. She tries hard all the time, no matter what, and you saw that today."

Has Australia reached the tipping point?
02 February 2014 , 10:12 AM by Rob Minshull
What do you feel about tipping? Is tipping unAustralian or have we finally reached 'the tipping point'?
Dr John Frank Burgess recently published his PhD on the origins and social consequences of tipping in Australia and in the widely accepted home of tipping, the United States.
You can read an extract from his thesis by clicking here.

When I was driving limousines I would always indicate, on the way from the airport to the casino/s, that tipping me would be completely acceptable and I would thank the passengers for demonstrating that they enjoyed the comfortable and safe drive, by tippng me. On the way back FROM the casino/s to the airport, I wouldn't bother so much with enthusing about a tip because most of the passengers had given all their money to the casino. By the way, as a Gold Coast Limousine driver working 12 hour shifts, I was being paid percentages of drive costs and received the equivalent of $10.59/ hour (2010).

We owned/operated a coffee shop for five years. An American tourist commented on the high cost of food in Australia. I said it was because of our minimum wages, so the poor people aren't all that poor. She said "That's a good idea" I would not like to see our system change except for Sundays and Public Holidays where wages are a problem. Our busy Sundays eventually convinced us to sell up.
Posted by: Phil | 02 February 2014 at 11:57 AM
No, You give a noncompulsory tip when you receive good service but to make it an obligation gets confusing and not easy if you are away for business in terms of reimbursements etc. We atready pay top dollar to eat out and this covers wages of the workers to add a tip on would make it very unaffordable.
Posted by: anthony | 02 February 2014 at 12:03 PM
Tipping is bad, it encourages tax avoidance. If the service is good I will go back, I expect the price I pay to cover all the reasonable expenses including fair and reasonable wages.
Posted by: Peter | 02 February 2014 at 01:31 PM
Non compulsory tipping is not bad, it does not hurt to show ones thankfulness for service. I would hate to see our service staff in situations like the US where the minimum wages in many parts of the US is as little as $3 an hour.
Posted by: Desley Griffiths | 02 February 2014 at 02:23 PM
I will never embrace tipping in Australia, it was one of the most frustrating things to deal with in America. For starters it favours attractive people as most guys will tip a pretty girl higher and more consistently, it puts the onus on the customer to essentially pay a portion of the staff's wages directly (Yeah that works really well) and leads to passive aggressive behaviour from staff if you "don't tip high enough".
Terrible idea.

Just a few days ago, ModMyi showed you how to change your carrier logo on your iPhone or cellular-enabled iPad with CarrierEditor. The best part was, the application used didn't require a jailbreak (but it still worked with jailbroken devices), and it even worked on Apple's newest iPhone – the iPhone 5.
Until today, the application was Mac OS X-only, however iOS developer Dany Lisiansky has kindly built a Windows version of the application so that Windows users can also easily change their carrier logos without the need to deal with command lines.
To get started, you will need the following items:
- CustomCarrierLogo application for Windows (version 0.0.6)
- A cellular iOS device – iPad or iPhone – jailbroken or not jailbroken
Step 1: Open the application you downloaded. You will see the interface below. Click on the Let's Get Started button:
Step 2: The application will ask you for your current carrier version. Head over to Settings > General > About on your iOS device to find the carrier version of your device. Enter the number that you see into the application under Current Carrier Version and then select the type of your device (iPad or iPhone) and your Carrier type:
Step 3: Now click on the Browse buttons to the right of the black logo and etched logo labels to select the logos you want to use. You can use any logos you may have from Cydia, or that you've downloaded from the Internet, or from this handy little logo pack (link). After everything is in order, click on the Create IPCC Carrier Bundle button to build your carrier update:
Step 4: The application will alert you that your IPCC file is complete:
Step 5: With your iOS device plugged into your Windows machine, launch iTunes, then hold down the Shift key and click on the Restore iPhone button. Select the .ipcc file that you just made and then click on the Open button to apply the carrier update to your iPhone or iPad.
Step 6: When iTunes finishes loading the carrier update, reboot your iOS device and enjoy the custom carrier logo that you picked:
Unlike CarrierEditor, CustomCarrierLogo also comes with a text option that will let you create a text logo with the text you input into the application. It will create an image out of the text you input so you can apply it as a carrier logo. You can adjust the text's color and font.
Performing this action does not restore your iOS device, even though you use the restore feature in iTunes to apply the carrier settings. The application is provided as is with no warranty implied, just like jailbreaking your device: Use the tool at your own risk! It is possible for Apple to patch this, so enjoy it while it lasts!
Note: CustomCarrierLogo will place the original .ipcc file for your device's carrier on your desktop along with the new one you create that contains the new logo. If you ever want to revert the changes so that your iOS device shows the carrier name instead of a logo, just follow Step 5 and Step 6 again, only this time pointing iTunes to the original .ipcc file instead of the new one.

Arsène Wenger believes as many as seven teams have a chance of winning the Premier League crown.
Arsenal have hauled themselves back into title contention by rattling up seven wins and a draw in their last eight games. Meanwhile victory over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday will put them in the Knockout Round of the Champions League for the 12th successive season.
Wenger admits he has dual aims right now but he knows that their main domestic target will take some winning.
"Mathematically you have seven teams who can win the title," he said. "You can rule nobody out.
"We don't prioritise," he went on. "At the moment the priority is the League and the Champions League - they are the two priorities. We go for every competition and after we choose when we have to. You only make a choice when you have nothing left."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Discussion in 'Other Sports' started by flyingsit, Sep 6, 2013.
About time, too.
Peyton is amazing...so much love for him going all the way back to Tennessee days. It's really been a joy to watch his entire college and NFL career.
wooohoo! GO NINERS!!!
Peyton was amazing last night! The Ravens didn't look so good but they have a lot of new pieces and a lot of times the Superbowl champ has a letdown the season after they win.
Ah, not real football; you mean American football.
I was about to say "go Chelsea", but it turned out to be the Anerican football.
Any thoughts on this? Tim Tebow refuses to switch from QB for NFL team, report says.
If this is true, I am shaking my head. I think Tebow is obviously a good football player but maybe he should be a little more humble and take advantage of a VERY rare opportunity. You'd think he would be really to use his abilities in whatever way he could help a team. Especially with the TE situation that the Patriots has.
One example: Tony Dungy was a quarterback at the U of Minnesota that was more than willing to play safety for the Pittsburgh for (I think) two seasons. And he got a Super Bowl ring in the meantime. Then he didn't do too bad as a coach cause he won another Super Bowl ring - as head coach of the Colts.
Yeah. You know, the one that is actually watchable. Not the one that goes on and on forever and ends up 0-0.
Thank goodness it's back. This has been a long off season (I say that every year)
I don't know what the Patriots were doing this weekend but here's hoping that isn't all they've got. It could be a long season if it is.
My record is broken. I've attended in person six NFL games. In the first five the home team won and got at least as far as the Conference Championship game (Jets '08 - Jets '09 - Green Bay '10 - 49ers '11 - Giants '11). So of course the Washington Redskins had to break my streak yesterday! : And I took my dad (a lifelong Skins fan) to the game, got awesome ($$$$$$$) seats, only to watch them break his heart. Sorry, Dad!
I can't bear to comment on my Giants except to say it's a good thing they recently won the Big One, though they already seem to have squandered most of their goodwill with the fans by being just awful so far this season. Yes, the Giants fans are a very "what have you done for me lately" bunch. If my Gmen aren't playoff-bound, then I hope they tank the season in spectacular fashion and get a really high draft pick. Enough with the 9-7, just barely missing the playoffs stuff.
Weird seeing teams like Kansas City and Miami at 3-0, but good for them. I hope Miami mounts a meaningful challenge in the AFC East this year. And good for Alex Smith making the most of his second chance in KC. Who knows, he could make Jim Harbrough regret trading him away.
On another note, I'm going to predict that the Broncos and one of the NFC South teams (either Saints or Falcons, probably Saints) will be duking it out in SuperBowl XLVIII. Eli won a SuperBowl in Peyton's house, so now maybe Peyton will win one in Eli's house.
I live in Giants territory, which isn't too much fun as a Patriots fan. But I am also a huge Peyton Manning fan (I spent too much time living in Indiana), so tonight I was to hear our local news anchorperson basically beg to trade Mannings for just one week. Peyton is that good and Giants are just that bad. My Patriots may not be great this year, but at least I'll have Peyton to cheer for.
I can't believe how bad the Giants look. Absolutely no protection for Eli who is spraying the ball everywhere. However, Eli can console himself by knowing he still has more rings than his big brother.
Broncos looking good. Wish Redskins could trade their old coach back to them.
Judging by the way the Broncos are playing, that may very well change in February!!
I feel sorry for Lions fans. Seriously?
Neither Brady nor Peyton would stand for an o-line as bad as what Eli has been dealing with. It's been mediocre for years, but now it's a total sieve and the Giants don't have enough tight ends and power backs to help out with chip blocks. This is also why the running game has been suffering. David Wilson is a talented RB, but the o-line can't open any holes. If they can't fix the o-line this season, then the offensive coordinator needs to change up the scheme, mix in more of the short passes, slants, etc.
Since there seems to be a lot of Manning fans on this thread, I had a chance to watch "Book of Manning" last night on ESPN. It was a documentary focusing on Archie Manning, his career at Ole Miss, a bit about the Saints, but mostly his time as a father and how he raised 3 sons so successfully. If you have a chance to watch and are a Manning fan, I highly recommend.
What if you only like one of the Mannings, but not the whole family?
Watching Broncos blow out the Iggles. Nice TD catch, Welker! Man, he and Peyton are pure magic together. Wes looks great in orange, too
Wondering exactly how many ways my Cowboys can find to lose this season....sigh
Heart goes out to Adrian Peterson, who lost his two-year-old son today. He was allegedly beaten to death by his mother's boyfriend.
for Adrian Peterson, one of my very favorite players in the league. How horrible.
Yesterday was a stressful but exciting day for NE/Boston fans!
And a for Peyton! And for the Giants keeping that streak alive.
The Patriots never gave up but they didn't have to. That was some of the worst officiating I have EVER seen. Did you see the incomplete pass that the receiver picked up off the ground that was called complete?! There were tons of holding calls missed but none worse than the one on the game winning touchdown. Finally, what about the time out that Brees called that was ignored? It resulted in an interception. There are tons of others. I don't really care about the NFL but is that the norm?! I can't get into NFL games if the home team (or certain teams?) are favored like that.
Tom Brady is a friggin' badass. Awesome last throw! He is doing a lot with not the best receiving crew this season.
Sad to hear Sam Bradford (St.Louis Rams) is out for the season with an ACL tear. The Rams tried to recruit Brett Bavre, but at age 44 Brett is enjoying his time with his family and he declined. He said he is not in football shape anymore (although in good shape otherwise).
Was very impressed with Andrew Luck's performance v. Broncos. He looks like the best of the young QB group so far, although the praise from some of the analysts seems a bit hyperbolic considering this is just his second season.
LOVE my Pats!! Clearly a lot of rookies on the roster, but they're shaping up nicely...slowly, but nicely.
So happy Gronkowski is bad, but I still miss Welker. :

Tactically, Arsenal's trip to Liverpool at the weekend was an important test. It was a very different battle from the previous two league games against Sunderland (who attempted to soak up pressure before counter-attacking) and Stoke (whose gameplan is based around territory rather than possession).
Liverpool were different: they wanted to compete in midfield, intended to dominate possession and took the game to Arsenal. Therefore, a different approach was required – Arsenal accepted they would spend periods sitting in their own half without the ball.
For the record, the possession battle was evenly-matched while the game was still goalless. In the first half hour – until Lukas Podolski put Arsenal ahead – Liverpool completed 135 passes, while Arsenal completed 139 – a difference so small it is irrelevant.
But, as the cliché goes, goals change games. When Arsenal went 1-0 up after a goal scored on the break, they became more defensive, and Liverpool saw more of the ball – completing 338 passes to Arsenal's 274.
This was the first time Arsenal had been ahead this season, of course, and having dominated possession heavily against both Sunderland (70 per cent) and Stoke (67 per cent), we now got a glimpse of Arsenal's ability to play reactive football.
The performance can be broken down into two distinct parts. First, there was the defensive shape, and it's important to note the difference in Arsenal's formation between this match and the two previous games.
Taking a 4-2-3-1 formation as standard, Arsenal now possess the ability to move the central playmaker (Santi Cazorla) and the two wide players (at Anfield, No 15 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and No 9 Lukas Podolski) up or down accordingly.
Therefore, against Sunderland the formation was more like a 4-2-1-3 – the wide players moved high up the pitch, and Cazorla (No 19) came deep to collect the ball from midfield.
At Anfield, Cazorla played further up the pitch and the wide players were much deeper, forming a second bank of four behind the ball, and it was a 4-4-1-1 for long periods.
AVERAGE POSITION: Sunderland (h), Liverpool (a) - home team in white
Arsenal defended particularly narrow – denying Liverpool space to play quick passes through the centre of the pitch.
This was a completely different approach to the fixture at Stoke, when the full backs had to prevent crosses coming in from the flanks, so the majority of 'recoveries' – when Arsenal players won back loose balls – were in very central positions at Anfield, compared to wider zones at the Britannia.
DEFENSIVE RECOVERIES: Stoke (a), Liverpool (a)
Arsenal were also very compact. Whereas last season Alex Song became increasingly focused on moving up the pitch and leaving space in behind, Mikel Arteta and Abou Diaby sat deep, close to the centre backs, denying Liverpool space between the lines.
The second part involved the actual counter-attacking, and here Cazorla's advanced positioning was particularly useful. He stayed high up the pitch, close to Olivier Giroud, which meant Arsenal could get the ball towards him quickly and break two-versus-two against the Liverpool backline.
Podolski and Oxlade-Chamberlain sprinted forward to provide support down the wings, and Diaby provided an extra midfield runner. The slickness of the moves – for Podolski's goal and for Giroud's missed chance towards the end of the first half in particular – was highly impressive. This was vintage Arsenal, hitting the opposition with pace while their defence was unbalanced.
Of course, as the olés from the travelling support demonstrated near full-time, possession football wasn't abandoned. But this was tiki-taka to kill the game – for most of the match, Arsenal's attacking was quick, purposeful and direct.
The Arsenal of 2012/13 will be adept on the counter-attack. Now, an improvement against more negative sides is required.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

After taking this product for just 1 month, I noticed a marked difference in my energy level. I find that if I go a few days without taking my Daily Immune Defense, I feel more lethargic & less motivated to get moving. I would recommend this product to anyone who feels like their immune system needs a boost. Thank you Doctor's Best!
Better than a Flu Shot

So far, Daily Immune Defense has kept me from contracting a cold or flu. Getting either bug would hospitalize me for sure. In all, the three supplements I ordered from IHerb saved me $45.87. If I had purchased these same supplements from my Naturopath, they would have cost me $114.15. I am ready to order additional supplements shortly.
An effective immune system supplement

This is more powerful as an immune stimulant than mere EpiCor alone. The addition of olive leaf and Immunolin (high IgG content) offer a wide range defense against sinus infection as well as other seasonal maladies. Highly recommended as an alternative to the recurrent course of antibiotics usually prescribed in conventional care. Super fast shipping and careful packaging earmark iHerb as a premier supplier at reasonably low cost.
Good but can be better as well!

This product contains a list of ingredients for the immune boosting. I bought for this for my father and he commented that it was useful. Looking at the list, it does contain sufficient dosages for all except Vitamin D which you might be taking at least 5,000 IU to 10,000 IU daily. The capsules are made of gelatin (not for vegan), not big and should be easy to swallow. The product does contain magnesium stearate. Whether there is any health effects from magnesium stearate like claimed, it is highly debateable. Pricewise, this is fairly expensive as 4 capsules are needed daily and it lasts for only a month.

I find it weak too

Not quite the punch I was hoping for. I think the 500mg epicor with your own olive leaf extract might be a better combo.
Great Product

So Far so good.
Great product, why discontinued?

This seems like an excellent formulation and I attribute the fact that we haven't had any colds in some time, at least in part, to this product. It's seem so strange that iHerb (or D.B.) is always discontinuing really good quality products.
Great product, great price
