Purchased this to solve a wrapping storage problem and am not sorry I got this. I love how easy it is to move around and how much wrapping paper it holds. Plus the handle pen and tape holders near the top make it super easy to just reach over and grab what I need. Seems sturdily built. I might purchase another for non-Christmas wrapping supplies as well.

Although I have only had for a few weeks, I already love the Gift Wrap Station. I virtually fit EVERYTHING in it. I even have extra Gift Bags hanging from the inside (similar to the bag w/ribbon; exception I looped it on the top Hanger and inserted it in between the 'sandwich boards'. Only con is that it is now quite heavy. However, it takes up much less space than my old way of storage, with out the hassle of the rolls of wrapping paper falling sideways. Love it and can not wait until I get to use it to wrap presents!

We moved into a small home with no basement and, therefore, no extra storage. Gift wrap is one of the hardest things to store without damaging it. This organizer saves the day! It is lightweight but very sturdy and there is room enough for everything you need. We love the fact that it could be hung in the guest room closet with no problem. It is accessible without being in the way, and we love the "helping hands" feature that holds the gift wrap while you unroll it. I would recommend this to anyone. Thanks Container Store!

I love this organizer. I don't do enough gift wrapping to warrant a wrapping station in my home office/workroom, but I had enough stuff in different places to be just annoying to keep it organized and know where things were when I needed them. This organizer easily holds everything I need and then stows away on its hanger in the closet when I don't need it. It's constructed sturdily enough and for the price, I think it's great. I am looking forward to the next time I need to wrap something!

I used to hate wrapping because I'd have to go all over the house trying to find all the items necessary to get the job done. This works station is great! Tucks away and hangs in your closet when you aren't using it. And when you need it, take it out and unfold it, set it on the floor beside your table and get wrapping! Lots of places to store everything from bows to bags (which I have a lot). Awesome!

No more throwing all of my gift wrapping items into one big bag that I later have to dig through to see what's in there. It's so much more organized now and is easy to quickly eyeball what I have to choose from and grab what I need. I also love that it can be hung up to save floor space. This is the best gift wrap organizer I've ever seen... and the only one I've ever purchased because nothing else has ever been what I was looking for. I plan to buy one for my mother for Christmas because I know she'll love and get a lot of use from it. Buy this, you won't regret it!

Rated 4 out of 5Â by eurieka Very worthwhile
If you are a master wrapper and have rolls for every holiday and occasion, this may not be the best option for you. Since I typically only have a few Christmas rolls and some more generic plain rolls, this is the perfect size for me, and allows me to keep all the extras all in one place. Although it says it holds 12 rolls, it really only holds about 6, depending on how fat your rolls are. There are only 6 pockets and you may be able to fit two per pocket, but I was not really able to.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by LibrarianMarie Doesn't offer much protection, though
I'll admit, this is a VERY STURDY organizer--and if I had an empty closet to store it in, I would probably think it perfect.
However, all my closets are quite full, and I fear that my wrapping paper will be crushed if I actually used this.
I purchased one, loaded it up (all went well so far), and then tried to figure out how to close it. Surely the paper couldn't just sit out like this in a unit that was designed to go into a storage closet (in my case, to be stored with heavy winter coats).
Even if this came with some sort of canvas cover, I would have kept it. As it is, I fear it would just line up all of my wrapping paper so that I could destroy it in one fell swoop!

I purchased this to replace an old, falling-apart, cardboard box that I've been using for 10 years. I wanted something that I could hang up & not leave on the floor. The only issue I have is - this states that it fits up to 12 rolls of paper. IMO, this only applies if you have very small rolls; I was only able to fit 6 of the larger rolls (ie Hallmark). All in all, a good value.

Every Christmas I load up a kitchen counter with wrapping supplies. The wrap invariably rolls off the counter or the ribbons get tangled. Then I have to move everything if I need the counter to cook. This wrap organizer is great. It holds everything and I can move it to wherever I want to wrap gifts. When the holidays are over, I will fill it with other types of wrapping paper and hang it in the hall closet. Easy and convenient.

"I'm an asshole, and I'm proud of it."
This quote by the great philosopher, Denis Leary, is all you need to know about me.
I am RandomRedneck, certified prick, over-opinionated nuisance, and general fan of anime.
6,882 total episodes
No prob.. Your review of Blood C is by far the best.. It was funny and completely dead on. Keep it up.
Yes, I'm completely serious about Akainu. Don't mistake World Government and the Marines. The Marines are the good guys here. Or do you not remember that Roger, the King of pirates, has been slaughtering whole cities just because someone insulted his friend. The Pirates just want the freedom to roam the seas and do whatever the hell they want. The Marines are there to protect the weaker, peace-loving bystanders.
His actions at Ohara weren't the best. But I clearly see it as for the sake of the world. You know, there COULD have been a guy that has escaped. Imagine he resurrects the Ancient Weapons and the whole world is thrown into chaos because they overlooked it. Wouldn't be cool. Not to mention those in the ship could take grudges, and then try to oppose the Marines. That's not good, either.
Coby was screaming around, just saved Luffy's ass, (Who Akainu believes to be an ultimate threat of the world, and he is goodamn right) and was crying around wasting his time... It doesn't matter if he is a Marine, he's going against him, preventing him from doing his job, so he may as well get the **** out of there.
See, I'm not with Akainu on the justice issue. I'm just able to look at the things from his point of view, and he isn't entirely wrong. He's a firm believer of Absolute Justice, and his ultimate aim in life is to turn pirates' lives into hells. And he's doing his job perfectly.
I also don't like how 80% of the internet bash him just because he killed Ace. Ace (and the whole WB crew) was looking for it. Ace stopped one step away from the escape, and literally suicided. Not by saving Luffy, by facing Akainu. And it's Akainu's job. As for the WB crew. They have 47 ships of insignificant weaklings. Whitebeard had about 6-7 rather strong guys on his crew. Whitebeard himself isn't as strong as he had used to be. You see, ALL the captains of WB faced against Akainu when he was chasing Luffy. ALL of them. Against one Admiral. And they were facing the entire Marine HQ forces, and Shichibukai. They were bound to lose. The guys'd have killed Ace much, much earlier had Luffy not interfered. And they still killed him. So yeah, WB crew was asking for kicking their ***es. :)
And yeah, I think Akainu's a wonderful character. Very complete, very badass, and I'm very interested in what has happened and will happen with him.
That sums it up, I think.

I know that fraud has been around for a while, but someone just tried to scam me. I had a person claim to be interested in a painting, and wanted to send me a check for it. She also told me stories of how she was hospitalized and after a close call with a miscarriage, in an effort to make me sympathize with her. Similar stories can be found here and here. In fact if you ever think you are being scammed just highlight parts of the email and do a google search, these guys often use the exact same lines in their emails. She finally sent me a check for $2000. I then realized it was a scam and stopped communication with them. If I had put the check in the bank, they would have later told me they had paid me too much and would like me to pay them back the difference. They would have got my money, and soon after the check I received from them would have bounced.
These guys are bad news. So, those of you who sale your work, be careful. ;)

Cancer clinicians and a chaplain at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed a new tool to help doctors, nurses and other health care providers talk to dying patients and families who are, literally, praying for a miracle.
The AMEN (Affirm, Meet, Educate, No matter what) protocol, a script that can be used by medical staff, offers a way to negotiate these challenging conversations to affirm or acknowledge a patient's hope, share the patient's wish with others, continue to educate the patient and family about medical issues, and assure them that their health care team will remain with them throughout the duration of their care, "no matter what."
"The AMEN tool allows the provider to join the patient or family member as a fellow human being with hopes and aspirations, and fosters a sense of trust and commitment to care," said Rhonda S. Cooper, M. Div., B.C.C., the Cancer Center's chaplain.
In lectures at Johns Hopkins, she says, the tool has been presented to clinical staff as a way "to respect our patients' beliefs and values as we care for them to the best of our ability." Cooper and her colleagues described the conversational protocol online in the May 6 issue of the Journal of Oncology Practice.
According to Cooper, patients and their families often turn to the idea of a miracle during a serious illness or trauma. In a study cited by the researchers and conducted by the University of Connecticut and Georgetown University, 57 percent of adults randomly surveyed said they believed that "God's intervention could save a family member" even when physicians said that any further treatments would be futile.
Doctors and nurses may feel uncomfortable discussing miracles as a religious event, or feel that they do not have the training or time to talk about miracles, Cooper says, but adds it is important not to dismiss the idea when patients or family bring it up.
"If the provider makes a comment that sounds dismissive of God or the person's faith or beliefs, that definitely will affect the trust relationship," she says. "The goal of the conversation between provider and the patient or family is to stay connected, not debate the possibility of miracles happening or not happening."
The AMEN tool, which specifically consists of a recommended script for talking with patients, can help medical experts see the hope for a miracle as an opportunity to join the patient or family in their end-of-life conversation, Cooper says. The goal is to maintain trust and foster open and honest communication as the care plan is being discussed. The tool can remind providers to "ask, rather than assume, what patients in treatment are hoping for," said Anna Ferguson, RN, a collaborator on the protocol.
The "no matter what" aspect can be especially important for patients transitioning from aggressive to palliative care, Cooper noted. "We all believe that 'non-abandonment' or accompanying the patient or family 'every step of the way' regardless of treatment outcome is what we can assure everyone who steps through our doors."
"We do not expect providers to become theologians or 'miracle experts,'" she stressed, "but instead to maintain the connection and respond to the patient's invitation to journey with them through their experience."

"I see nothing constructive about an annual pay and performance review. It's a mainstream practice that has baffled me for years."
So wrote Samuel Culbert, a professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management, in a provocative essay called "Get Rid of the Performance Review!" that appeared in 2008 in Business Insight (now renamed Executive Adviser), a section ofThe Wall Street Journal that is produced in collaboration with MIT Sloan Management Review.
Now, Culbert, with Wall Street Journal senior editor Lawrence Rout, has expanded on that theme in a new book, also called Get Rid of the Performance Review!, Culbert was quoted this week in a New York Times blog on his views:
"There is a very bad set of values that are embedded in the air because of performance reviews."
But what's the alternative to performance reviews? According to Culbert's new book, companies would be better off if managers and employees focused on how, together, they will better achieve goals the organization has established-- something that he calls a "performance preview" and that can take place any time.
Such an arrangement, according to Culbert, fosters teamwork. With performance previews, he writes in the new book, "subordinates and bosses focus on the real goal -- corporate results -- and how they can work together to get where the company wants them to go."

(CNN) -- Nine Massachusetts teenagers have been charged with involvement in a months-long campaign of bullying that led to the suicide in January of a 15-year-old girl, a prosecutor said Monday.
Phoebe Prince's body was found hanging in the stairway leading to her family's second-floor apartment in South Hadley, Northwestern District Attorney Elizabeth D. Scheibel told reporters in the western Massachusetts town of Northampton.
"It appears that Phoebe's death on January 14 followed a torturous day for her when she was subjected to verbal harassment and physical abuse," she said.
Earlier in the day, Prince had been harassed as she studied in the library at South Hadley High School, apparently in the presence of a faculty member and several students, none of whom reported it until after the death, Scheibel said.
Prince, who had recently moved to the area with her family from Ireland, was also harassed as she walked through the halls of the school that day and as she walked on the street toward her home, Scheibel said.
The harassment that day, by one male and two females, "appears to have been motivated by the group's displeasure with Phoebe's brief dating relationship with a male student that had ended six weeks earlier," she said.
But that day's events were not isolated; they "were the culmination of a nearly three-month campaign of verbally abusive, assaultive behavior and threats of physical harm toward Phoebe on school grounds by several South Hadley students," Scheibel added.
"Their conduct far exceeded the limits of normal teenage relationship-related quarrels. The investigation revealed relentless activity directed toward Phoebe designed to humiliate her and to make it impossible for her to remain at school."
In the indictments, returned Friday but not made public until Monday, the Hampshire County grand jury charged 17-year-old Sean Mulveyhill of South Hadley with statutory rape, violation of civil rights with bodily injury resulting, criminal harassment and disturbance of a school assembly.
The indictments charged 18-year-old Austin Renaud of Springfield with statutory rape.
Kayla Narey, 17, of South Hadley, was charged with violation of civil rights with bodily injury resulting, criminal harassment and disturbance of a school assembly.
CNN was not able to reach any of the three, none of whom has been taken into custody, according to Scheibel. She did not elaborate on the statutory rape charges.
Charges against another three girls included violation of civil rights with bodily injury resulting; two were also charged with stalking.
Three other girls from South Hadley were named in four delinquency complaints from Hampshire Franklin Juvenile Court. Their charges included violation of civil rights with bodily injury resulting, criminal harassment and disturbance of a school assembly, violation of civil rights, criminal harassment and assault by means of a dangerous weapon. One of the juveniles was charged in a separate complaint involving a second victim, Scheibel said.
Though initial news reports blamed Prince's suicide on cyberbullying, Scheibel said the students' actions were "primarily conducted on school grounds during school hours and while school was in session." She said any use of electronic social networks was secondary to "commonly understood bullying methods."
The bullying of Prince was common knowledge to most of the student body and to certain faculty, staff and administrators, Scheibel said. At least four students and two faculty members had intervened during the harassment, but the school's code of conduct was inconsistently enforced, she said.
Though the faculty, staff and administrators' behavior was not deemed criminal, "the actions, or inactions, of some adults at the school are troublesome," she said.
Scheibel said the Prince family had asked "that the public refrain from vigilantism in favor of allowing the judicial system an opportunity to provide a measure of justice for Phoebe." CNN was not able to reach the Prince family.
Scheibel said the investigation was continuing and that a 10th person may be charged.
Arraignments will occur "in the near future," she said.
Several of the students remain in the school. In a statement, South Hadley Public Schools Assistant Superintendent Christine Sweklo said school officials would meet with the district attorney to review any new evidence.
"Once we are able to obtain this information, we will be able to make a more comprehensive statement and possibly take further action against the students still attending South Hadley High School," she said.
The statutory rape charges could result in penalties of up to life in prison, said Elizabeth Farris, a lawyer in the prosecutor's office. A conviction on a violation-of-civil-rights charge could result in 10 years in prison; a conviction for criminal harassment up to 2 1/2 years; a conviction for disturbance of school assembly up to one month, she said.
Those 17 and older will be tried as adults in Hampshire County Superior Court. The juveniles will be tried in juvenile court. A juvenile court judge may choose to institute an adult penalty, a combination of adult and juvenile penalties or a juvenile penalty alone, Farris said.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Tack and Equipment
- - Dressage Clothes help
Dressage Clothes help My daughter will be riding in her first dressage show in October. She will be riding in the easiest level doing walk/trot. I need to know what clothes are required? Also, If someone might point me in the direction of a good place to get some fairly cheap it would be much appreciated. She wears adult sizes. I don't want to invest a lot of money until I see if she is really going to be interested in it. She's only been riding for about a month now. |
Look in local tack shops to see if any used show clothes are for sale (check out their bulletin board). For a low level dressage class, you can probably get away with a nice fitting hunt jacket,white/tan breeches, white or calm color show shirt,tall boots,and gloves (optional, but a nice touch). I'm no dressage rider but, just saying what I saw at my local Fair horse show. |
It depends on the size of the show. If it is a schooling show, she could probably just wear a white polo or dress shirt, white or tan breeches, and tall boots or paddock boots, depending on what she owns right now. Schooling shows are really informal. If it is a bigger show, I agree with rodeogirl- she could wear a hunt jacket, but if you don't have one, I would suggest buying a dressage jacket, unless she wants to get into hunters/jumping. Dover Saddlery usually has discounted prices- Dover Saddlery - Quality English Horse Tack & Horse Supplies for the Equestrian. I believe they also have outlet (?) stores around in some places, also. You can also just google "tack shop in ____" or whatever to find a store near you. Check with her instructor (if she has one), also- they might know of a good tack shop with show coats/show clothing. |
I don't know if this will help at all but it's a TTC show. I don't know if my daughter will be interested in jumping or not, but the woman teaching her is a fox hunter...so it's always a possibility. When I say my daughter has been riding a month...I mean riding a horse, not just dressage riding. Unfortunately, up until now we have never had a horse that behaves well enough for a kid to ride. She seems to have some natural ability, but I doubt she will really be ready for the show....I am going to let her try though. It will be a lot of fun and she will learn a lot I'm sure. Thank you very much for the tips rodeogirl and anrz. My poor daughter has to depend on me (one who knows nothing about dressage) to get her the right clothing for the event....so your help is much appreciated. If she decides she really likes it and wants to keep doing it, then I will fork out the money for some really nice stuff to wear...until then I want to get out as cheap as I can and still have her look appropriate. |

Sometimes I agree. Take, for example, the superb in many ways Vauxhall Corsa VXR Nurburgring. It's a beast of a hot hatch and will bloody the nose of many cars twice its size on any racetrack you choose. This car was designed to be lots of fun to drive fast, and also to specifically bring home a Nurburgring lap time.
But if you bought this car expecting it to be good in traffic, or commuting over the speed bumps of south London, you'd be gutted. And I would have to agree with May. The suspension is tuned to deliver a constant report of every bump and ripple right to your brain via your arse and hands. The pointy steering and Drexler LSD allow a quick driver to steer from the rear and then plant the pedal down on every corner exit. None of these things make the car 'better' for the average use that James May thinks it will see.
Is that the Nurburgring's fault? Or Vauxhall's? Or the consumer's for buying into it? Does anybody really buy the hottest ever Corsa then complain that it's stiff and too responsive?
No, no and no. These headline-grabbing laptime cars such as the Corsa VXR or even Nissan GT-R only prove that a fast car around the Nurburgring is a little stiffer than the average driver might like. They're not ruined, they're doing what they're supposed to.
So next I looked at a brand of car not really known for any laptimes right now, but is still extensively tested around the Nurburgring Nordscheife - Jaguar. It has been bringing its cars to the 'ring since the 70s, and in 2003 it cemented its position here with its Nurburgring Test Centre. Every single Jaguar model gets a Nurburgring workout.
"A test car is driven 390 laps around the Nordschleife and that's over 5,000 miles" confirms Jaguar's European Engineering Team Leader Phil Talboys. "Durability cars are driven enthusiastically lap after lap, looking for problems. But it's not just reliability that's improved. Input is taken from the ride and the handling too, and put together with data from roads and tracks around the world."
The only laptime Phil mentions is a 'target' for the durability test drivers to hit. But even then, he's coy. "Let's just call it a laptime plus X," he says, "so that we know the car is being consistenly hard enough."
Models like the XF are known for their combination of sporty handling with ride quality that turns even the harshest surface into a silent deep-pile carpet of effortlessness. (Unless it's cold - Ed) Even the velvet-padded sledgehammer that is the XFR doesn't come with a laptime on the window sticker.
So back to the question; does the Nürburgring ruin cars? No, not in my opinion, at least. The marketing types can sell it to the wrong people, the engineers can focus on laptimes instead of ride quality and you or I can simply buy the wrong car for our needs. But the Nordschleife remains a great place to consistently push a car to the limits.

With the goal of reducing inaccuracies and inconsistencies in building performance assessments, three building industry associations—ASHRAE, USGBC, and the Chartered Institution of Building Service Engineers (CIBSE)—have created Performance Measurement Protocols for Commercial Buildings, a new publication published by ASHRAE.
The book provides a standardized set of protocols relating to accuracies and costs that can be applied to the assessment of building performance. The protocols address what to measure, how to measure it, and how often it is to be measured for inclusion in a building's operation and maintenance plan.
"Although many buildings claim to be green or high performance, it's rare that evidence or data is presented to verify these claims," says Jeff Haberl, associate director of the Energy Systems Laboratory and a professor of architecture at Texas A&M University. Haberl chaired the committee that wrote the book. "If claims of high performance are to be credible, it is essential that a common set of measurements be used and that the results be reported against meaningful and consistent benchmarks. Reliable and reproducible protocols are also needed to give usable feedback to designers and operators when measured performance does not match design intent and expectations."
He continues: "In an energy conscious world, those who measure and manage the energy use and performance of their buildings will be at an increasing advantage over business as usual energy managers."
Protocols in the book address six performance categories: energy, water, thermal comfort, indoor air quality, lighting, and acoustics. Within each category, the protocols are further broken down into three levels. The basic level outlines simple, low-cost measures that provide an initial insight into performance on an annual, whole-building level. The intermediate level provides additional data on building performance, typically on a monthly frequency and at a major system level. The advanced level offers a comprehensive analysis at a daily or weekly frequency at the system or equipment level.
Performance Measurement Protocols for Commercial Buildings is available through ASHRAE at ashrae.org/bookstore. The cost is $89 ($75 for ASHRAE members).

Jaye Howard Scouting Report
Position: | DT |

School: | Florida Gators |

2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Jaye Howard, DT, Florida
Howard has good size at 6'3'' and 292 pounds. He would do well to add some bulk, however, and his power off the ball must improve if he wants to consistently disrupt plays in the backfield. He generally runs around a 5.0 in the 40-yard dash and he has been clocked as fast as 4.93 from that distance. His quickness is what is going to make him a contributor of some sort in the NFL. Howard's first step is quick and that's what makes him a relatively dangerous pass-rusher. His motor is somewhat inconsistent and he will have to bring it on every play in order to make himself a viable option on a roster day in and day out. Howard's potential is real and he could help his stock bigtime with a strong showing at the combine. For now it looks like Howard should get drafted, possibly in the sixth round.

TAMPA | Sixteen people were safely evacuated from the Cheetah Hunt roller coaster at Busch Gardens in Tampa, after the ride stopped functioning.
The park posted the update on its official Twitter account shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Park spokesman Travis Claytor had said the coaster got stuck just after 2:30 p.m. on the ride's first embankment, before it got to the main launch track and first major hill. Maintenance workers initially tried to nudge the coaster back into the station. When that didn't work, park officials called Tampa Fire Rescue.

Claytor says maintenance and operations workers were trying to figure out Wednesday evening what caused the ride to malfunction. He says they're not sure when it will reopen.

Apparently five wasn't enough. That must have been what harness racing driver Yannick Gingras was thinking as he took to the track Saturday night at The Meadowlands. On the heels of a five win night on Friday, Gingras did one-better, winning six on the Saturday program. Included in his victories was a win in the featured Free For All Handicap with Bettor's Edge, who went right to the lead, setting fractions of 26.3, 54.2 and 1:22.3 before completing a wire to wire tour-de-force in 1:50. Bettor's Edge is owned by Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and the M1 Stable LLC. The win was one of three on the card for leading trainer Ron Burke.
The other story on the program was the success of horses headed to Monday's Meadowlands January Mixed Sale presented by Tattersalls. In fact, by night's end, five horses entered in the sale were victorious, including Alexie Mattosie, Allstar Legend, Emeritus Maximus, Tarpon Hanover and Wake Up Peter. The sale is scheduled to begin at 11:00 A.M. in the back paddock at The Meadowlands.
It was another $3 Million night at The Meadowlands, with the total handle just under $3.2 Million.
Racing returns on Wednesday, January 22nd, with an 11-race program, including the Final of The Super Bowl Trotting Series, with first post time at 7:15 P.M. This will be the last live racing program until after the Super Bowl, when live racing returns Thursday February 6th. The Meadowlands will remain open for simulcasting through Sunday January 26th. It will then be closed from Monday January 27th through Monday February 3rd and will re-open for simulcasting on Tuesday February 4th. Meadowlands customers can attend Winners Bayonne from January 27th through February 3rd, so they don't miss a minute of the simulcast action.

Ryker was born on April 30, 2010, in Boise. Ryker overcame many obstacles at birth just to have the opportunity of coming home to live with his family. He marched to the beat of his own drum and definitely had a say in his medical care by continually defying the doctor's orders. Regardless of all the medical complications, Ryker could still light up the room and make all of our worries disappear.
Ryker is survived by his parents, Albert and Gina, sisters Kilyn and Lexi, maternal grandmother Charlene Wyman and her husband David Wyman of Mtn Home, maternal grandfather Attilio Balatti of Madera, CA, paternal grandmother Marie Evans of Boise, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Ryker was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather Albert Longhurst, Sr.
The family would like to thank the Mountain Home Paramedics, St. Luke's Children's Hospital in Boise, Dr. Jill Beck, Dr. Angel Zieba, Dr. Paul Jansen, Scott Hays with Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Photography, and everyone for their prayers, meals prepared, plus all the acts of kindness.

Thanks Jim, yeah not much snow around these parts, so gotta take advantage of what we get. Plus, as Ravi said, it counts as cardio!!
Thanks Elite! Thanks McBeef! More win today!
So like I did last time, I'll split this up as there's a ton of video. Combining these last two sessions really isn't a problem at all, btw. It took about 2 hours 10 min today with abbreviated warmups and keeping the rest times 3 min or less.

warmups: a mess of lat pulls and some arm and shoulder band stuff
Arnold Press:

Mid Grip Bench, not heavy, just extra work:
4x 6x 205

Some tricep and chest stretching
6x 53 Arnold Press, 3rd set:

I used this time to play around with my set up, esp. feet. I've been reading and listening to Dave Tate, and he had a point about arching less in your low back, keeping the arch in your upper back. What this does is allow you to push UP the bench easier and holds your butt down as you are aligned up the bench. It's also easier on my lower back. Now I know it doesn't look massively different, but even a little better angle from feet to shoulders really helps my low back. Oh, and dumped the weightlifting shoes as my bench is already low to ground, don't need to that extra height in the shoes like I used to with a taller bench.
Anyway, there you go. 10 min break, then on to Rack Pulls!

Pros: good frequency response
Cons: muddy bass, soundstage not very wide, slight veil
I recently used a borrowed HD650 in a balanced system for about a month.
After I gave it back and returned to my balanced Grado HF2's, I was shocked how much better the Grado's were.
I must thank Sennheiser for making me appreciate my current headphone. That's about the only good thing I have to say about the HD650. :) I'm kidding, it's good but if you value an open and fast sound this is not the headphone to get.

Who knew there was a bike equivalent?
Tuesday, July 26, 2011
You know those well educated cars?
You know, the ones with three or four stickers from Ivy League colleges in the back window? Extra points if they're a mid-80's volvo wagon?
3 comments:
My bikes didn't go to no stinkin' schools. I educated them myself!
It's funny that Volvo wagons should have such a connection with highly-educated people. There's a section of North London called "Volvotown." A lot of Orthodox Jews, and their large families, live there. Hence, Volvo wagons are seen as the vehicles of families with a bevy of kids.- AnonymousAugust 7, 2011 at 11:57 AM
I like that. I almost want to bike all the way to work just for a BIDMC bike parking sticker.... Except no stickers on my bike.....

"Hindusim 101"
If you are interested at all Hinduism and ever wanted a better understanding, this is a great place to start.
I teach a Grade 11 World Religions course at my school and wanted to listen to a 'backgrounder' on Hinduism to help in my preparation. This book did the job beautifully--in fact, my only criticism is that is should have been longer.
The narrator, actor Ben Kingsley (who played the title role in 'Gandhi'), does a great job in reading this book with dignity and the gravitas a subject like this deserves. Throughout the book there are other accented voices who read excerpts from the Bhagavad-Gita (in an Indian accent) and commentary on Indian culture from English books (read in a British accent). This helps to break up the flow and is non-offensive.
Because Hinduism is so inextricably woven into the fabric of Indian culture, the book spends a great deal of time speaking of both religion and culture. In fact, if you are planning to travel to India, or you have an interest in India generally, you will find this audiobook very helpful to read. I have travelled to India on several occasions and this book accurately reflects both the culture and spirituality of modern India.
"Contains scholarly inaccuracies"
Almost started enjoying this book until read some information which is patently false and would be considered offensive by many faithful Hindus, although Westerners, except for ISKON converts, would not easily notice them. The most glaring falsehood that this work propagates are as follows:describes Krishna's supposed 'love affair' with Radha (who allegedly married to somebody else)as a story which is canonical and part of Hindu belief. He further alleges that Gopis who danced with Krishna were married and had a "love affair" with him. The attempt is to portray the holiest figure of Hindus as a fornicator. This is the most glaring scholarly gaffe from this author and reveals serious shortcomings in his claim as a scholar of Hinduism.A brief examination, undertaken with sincere intent, would have revealed to him that Radha is a completely fictional character invented by poet Jayadeva around 12th century CE and that none of any canonical accounts of Krishna in Puranas and Mahabharata have any mention of Radha. With regard to supposed affair of Krishna with married Gopis, the author again shows callous disregard or ignorance of the Hindu, scriptures. According to Bhagavatham, whence this story comes, Krisnha was merely a boy of eight when he played pranks on Gopis. Out of hundreds of pages dedicated to Krishna, the episode describing the childhood pranks of Krishna with Gopis barely lasts a page. The rest of the scripture describes his miracles, statesmanship and military exploits in great detail.The author obviously ignored the canonical texts of Hinduism and built a narrative of Krishna as a playboy based on non-canonical stories which are popular only in a heretical fringe of Hindu society.Other glaring mistakes: failure to designate left-hand tantric practices as ostracized by lay Hindus,Sikh scripture not using Hindu names for God & containing Mira's verses,South Indian kings being Shudras,etc.
"I wish the narration was done by an Indian -"
if it is not about hinudism :-)
I wish it was read by an indian since the pronounciation would have been better no that Mr kingsley did a bad job, but the names are definitely pronounced different from what they are.

July 10, 2014 12:00 AMThe Post-Gazette is monitoring transparency in local and state governments. Many public officials, including Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto and Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, have pledged to make information about their administrations readily available to the public.
How are city, county and state governments doing? This page offers some stories to help track the answer.
Feb. 25: Senate Bill 412 is part of an ongoing effort to revamp Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law, but in one key area of disclosure — individual salaries — the bill's language appears to be at least a partial retreat.
Feb. 4: Pittsburgh officials roll out an online data platform that will place a trove of city spending and revenue information at the public's fingertips.
Feb. 4: Allegheny County Controller Chelsa Wagner filed an amended campaign finance report to provide more information about individual contributions left off an earlier filing. Ms. Wagner's campaign manager called it an "unfortunate clerical error."
Feb. 3: Allegheny County politicians seeking countywide office filed 2014 financial reports showing some healthy war chests.

Jan. 14: Two alumni-elected Penn State trustees made a public appeal to board chairman Keith Masser for details of a settlement that they learned had been proposed in a lawsuit over NCAA sanctions imposed on the university in 2012. Al Lord and Anthony Lubrano criticized the chairman for not telling the full panel.
Dec. 24: Mayor Bill Peduto said the money doled out to employees during his appearance on "Undercover Boss on CBS" is coming from private corporations and other institutions and that he would release the accounting once the fundraising is complete. Mr. Peduto said the donors "would rather remain anonymous" but they would be identified in the interest of "full disclosure."
Dec. 23: During the broadcast of "Undercover Boss" on CBS, Mayor Bill Peduto noted that because he had to "raise money from friends" to help bestow five-digit sums upon city workers -- an effort to address life challenges they told him about while Mr. Peduto was in disguise on the job. But it's unclear who they were. "[T]he City is not identifying the outside donors at this time," a mayor's office statement said.

Dec. 15: Meal charges by West Mifflin Area School District administrators on district credit cards have become a point of controversy. But school officials say administrators are following an unofficial policy that allows them to charge meals to the district rather than filing for mileage reimbursement on occasions when they must attend evening functions.
Nov. 26: The City of Pittsburgh would not make public documents expected to provide more detail about a Milwaukee consultant's pending contract with the police bureau that has raised concerns with a councilman there. Sonya Toler, the public safety spokeswoman, gave the Post-Gazette a partial contract for ESM Advisors LLC, but it did not include an exhibit titled, "Scope of Work Addendum and Fee Schedule," and Ms. Toler declined to explain the omission.
Oct. 24: Caster Binion, Pittsburgh Housing Authority executive director, declines to release results of a probe into tenant council elections at the Bedford Dwellings housing units. The 76-page report was completed Oct. 22.

Oct. 24: SelectPlan for Women, a Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare website, gives no indication that a special Medicaid program will be ending at year's end, putting some 90,000 Pennsylvania women at risk of losing access to the free family planning and women's health-care coverage it offers.
Oct. 21: Three widely cited state studies of air emissions at Marcellus Shale gas development sites in Pennsylvania omit measurements of key air toxics and calculate the health risks of just two of more than two dozen pollutants.
Sept. 29: EDITORIAL: Although Senate Bill 444, an attempt to amend Pennsylvania's Right to Know Law, has some good provisions, it represents a huge step backward in terms of public access to government records.
Sept. 25: Aides to Attorney General Kathleen Kane named eight former employees whose agency email accounts, they said, included images ranging from photographs of nude women to graphic videos of sexual acts. But the AG's office said it was not revealing the names of 30 other current employees whose accounts were found to have contained such images because of human resource policies and union agreements.
Sept. 24: Several news organizations received letters denying their Right-to-Know requests for internal, sexually explicit emails found on state computers.

Sept. 16: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette sued the state Monday in Commonwealth Court, asking a judge to halt a practice across the executive branch of destroying emails after five days and instead order they be preserved for at least two years. The Post-Gazette on Aug. 24 reported the executive branch email practices, the five-day permanent deletions, as well as concerns of open-government advocates.
Sept. 5: A female patient at Western Psychiatric Institute & Clinic of UPMC reported an alleged sexual assault to a hospital staff member on Aug. 25. A Pittsburgh police officer was dispatched to Western Psych the morning of Aug. 26, but police did not provide any information about the case, or even confirm that it existed, until 10 days later.
Aug. 29: The state has begun exploring ways it might archive emails that routinely are deleted by its 80,000 executive branch employees. But the state does not appear to have plans to address — at least immediately — the other concerns raised by open-government advocates who were quoted in a Post-Gazette story.
Aug. 29: A city controller audit of a fund found that the city's Department of Parks and Recreation needs to develop written policies and do a better job of documenting payments to referees and umpires. "City funds should not be held in non-city bank accounts." Michael Lamb said.
Aug. 12: Recently, acting state Secretary of Education Carolyn Dumaresq cited a department practice of purging emails each evening as the reason her department released only five emails for Ron Tomalis, the governor's then special adviser on higher education, during his first year in the position. But the practice violates the department's policy on record retention. It took two informal requests and a Right-to-Know request to the Department of Education for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette to get a copy of the department's policy on record retention.

Aug. 6: The Allegheny County Health Department was trying to be transparent in slapping Chinatown Inn with a Consumer Alert July 24 for a slew of violations. But the Downtown restaurant blocked the effort with two strategically placed potted plants in front of the yellow Consumer Alert decal. That plan backfired with an inspector photographed the cover-up and the county fined the eatery $800.
July 27: Records obtained by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette through requests under the state Right-to-Know Law raise questions about how much time the governor's office required Ron Tomalis to spend on duties as special adviser to Gov. Tom Corbett for higher education.
July 18: The state Department of Public Welfare expressed regret for the deteriorated state of the former Dixmont State Hospital cemetery in Kilbuck and vowed to make sure it is not neglecting any other institutional burial grounds the state still owns.
July 17: Neither the state Department of Public Welfare, which operated Woodville and Dixmont hospitals, nor the state Department of General Services, which oversees state properties, responded to questions about dilapidated cemeteries at the former facilities.
June 30: A Pittsburgh police officer is selected as liaison to public safety director, but some officers say they were not aware the city was looking to fill the position.
June 23: Mayor Bill Peduto is seeking ways of forcing event promoters to pick up a larger share of the cost of city services required for special events, such as concerts. But no details about implementation were provided at a June 23 news conference.
June 16: The mayor's office says it took an officer off the streets following the controversial arrest of a woman at PrideFest. But Mayor Bill Peduto didn't refer to the officer by name.
May 27: Allegheny County hired a firm to curb employee sick-leave abuse. At the center of the controversy was the county's administration of the federal law that allows employees to take up to 12 weeks off for family and medical reasons without losing their job.
May 8: Five guards at Allegheny County Jail (below) were shelved, as a gun policy breach was being investigated. A county spokeswoman would not say whether the suspensions were related to the gun investigation.
May 6: Are Pittsburgh City Council members using some of the city's discretionary funds for self-promotion? The city's controller said that is the case with some.
April 3: An Allegheny County 911 dispatcher remained silent for about 40 seconds while on the line with a woman accused of fatally drowning two of her children. County officials refused to identify the call-taker or release any information about their protocols.
March 28: Mayor Bill Peduto said a missing clock was found in city hall, but the mayor doesn't say who tipped officials to its location, when or where they found it.
March 10: A former Pittsburgh police spokeswoman kept her city-issued take-home car (seen below) for a week past her last day of work. But city officials were unable to explain why.

Camp is an amazing place to spend your summer months. Year after year, we have many campers that are returning veterans and new to Arrowhead Campers. We also have a significant number of international campers that attend camp and become fast friends with our Canadian campers. Here are a few things to keep in mind when preparing for your summer at camp:
- Camp is a busy and active place, remember to pack clothing that you don't mind getting wet and dirty.
- Labeling all of your clothing and equipment is key and ensuring that your camper is aware of what you are sending with them to camp. Order your labels here.

ROCHESTER — Truancy was the main topic of Thursday's school committee meetings. Chair Julie Brown opened the discussion on a follow-up to the truancy policy and the effects it is having on the students and parents.
Assistant Superintendent Mary Moriarty stated that bringing the Rochester Police Department in on truancy issues has helped greatly in the elementary schools, where parents are accountable for a child's absence.
However, the truancy policy has shown changes in behavior for some, but not all. High school students are still having issues. "This holds parents accountable, but we need to hold kids accountable," said Moriarty.
Some ways the schools are trying to combat the truancy issues are in-school suspensions and "we are looking at out-of-school suspension programs" said Moriarty. But with 29 cases referred to the Police Department so far, some students and parents will face the police.

Bristol City manager Keith Millen has hinted at a change of tact, both in personnel and shape, for the match against Hull.
Millen has been concerned at the soft goals his team have been conceding of late, and is contemplating recalling captain Louis Carey - who has yet to start a first-team fixture this term.
With Jamie McAllister (ankle) still sidelined - and likely to remain so for several weeks to come - and Liam Fontaine (ankle) not expected back in training until October, Millen said he could tinker with his back four.
"You are paid to defend and you defend your penalty area and your goal with your life and we are not doing that," he told the Bristol Evening Post.
"I don't have a load of options, but I'll have to look at the defence."
Meanwhile, City have allowed third-choice keeper Lewis Carey to join Gloucester City on a one-month loan deal.
Hull are expected to be unchanged at as they chase a fourth straight league win.
Tigers manager Nigel Pearson has no new injury or suspension problems and is unlikely to alter a winning line-up following three successive 1-0 victories.
Skipper Andy Dawson will be out for up to six weeks after recently sustaining a knee injury in training, so Joe Dudgeon will retain his place in the back four.
Fellow defender Paul McShane has returned to full training as he targets a first appearance of the season.
The Republic of Ireland international, sidelined with a calf injury sustained during a pre-season friendly with Liverpool, is hoping for a run out with the reserves next week.
Winger Martin Pusic has also returned to full training following a hamstring injury but is still several weeks away from his first league appearance.

text: Astronomically Expensive Wedding Rings Are Made from Space GoldAndrew Tarantola11/14/11 10:40pmFiled to: SpaceGoldJewelryspaceport americaWeddingstwitterFb109EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkSpace Gold, as we all know, is the rarest and most-expensive form of precious metal known to ma—wait, whaddya mean it's just regular gold that's been shot into space? And they want how much?!?!Advertisement$17,000 per pair. To be fair, these are ultra-limited edition bands—only fifty pair will be produced. The Space Wedding Rings are designed and crafted by the Spacewed company and recently debuted at the Dubai International Jewelry Week. In addition to the wedding bands, 50 separate, smaller Space Rings will also retail for $12,000 a pop.So what makes this gold so special, so space-y? It was launched into suborbital space aboard a sounding rocket from Spaceport America on May 20, 2011. I guess 15 minutes of weightlessness and a healthy dose of radiation makes these worth six months pay? I'd almost rather spend $17,000 on a suborbital sounding rocket ride for myself.

Here are a variety of ways in which high school and college differ. Understanding some of the important differences and being prepared for them will help you achieve a smoother transition.
Class Time
- HIGH SCHOOL: You spend on average 6 hours each day/30 hours a week in class, proceeding from one class to the next. The school year is 36 weeks long; with a short break in the spring and a long one over the summer.
- COLLEGE: You spend 12 to 16 hours each week in class, usually with breaks in between. Times are not limited to daylight hours, many classes are offered in the evening. In most cases, the academic year is divided into two 15-week semesters, plus a week after each semester for exams. There is generally a winter break and a spring break, which is followed by exams. The spring semester can conclude in early May.
Class Size
- HIGH SCHOOL: Classes generally have no more than 35 students and are taught by teachers.
- COLLEGE: Depending on the size of college you select, classes may range in size from twenty to hundreds of students. Classes are taught by professors, who will be referred to as Doctor if they have acquired a Doctorate in their chosen field. At large universities, classes may be taught by graduate assistants, not professors.
Teaching Style
HIGH SCHOOL: Teachers present material to help you understand the material in the textbook, often writing information on the chalkboard to be copied in your notes.
COLLEGE: Professors may lecture nonstop, give you illustrations, provide background information, or discuss research about the topic you are studying—but they will rarely follow the textbook. You will be expected to identify the important points and summarize it so good notes are critical.
Time Management
- HIGH SCHOOL: Your time is usually structured by others: administrators, teachers, coaches and of course, parents. Teachers carefully monitor class attendance.
- COLLEGE: You manage your own time. It's up to you to get to class, do your lab work and study. Professors may not formally take roll, but they are still likely to know whether or not you attended, especially at smaller colleges where they will get to know you.
- HIGH SCHOOL: You will usually be told what you need to learn from assigned readings and teachers will remind you of assignments and due dates. They will check your completed homework.
- COLLEGE: Professors expect you to utilize the course syllabus (outline); which spells out exactly what is expected of you, when it is due and how you will be graded. It's up to you to read and understand the assigned material; lectures and assignments are based on the assumption that you've already done so. Professors may not always check completed homework, but they will assume you can perform the same tasks on tests.
- HIGH SCHOOL: Teachers will approach you if they believe you need assistance.
- COLLEGE: Professors are usually open and helpful, but expect and want you to attend their scheduled office hours if you need assistance.
- HIGH SCHOOL: You are expected to read short assignments that are then discussed in class. You may study outside of class as little as 2 hours a week, and this may be mostly test preparation.
- COLLEGE: You are assigned substantial amounts of reading and writing which may not be discussed in class. You need to study at least 2 to 3 hours outside of class for each hour in class to keep up with the coursework.
- HIGH SCHOOL: Testing is frequent and covers small amounts of material. Teachers frequently conduct review sessions, pointing out the most important concepts. If you miss the test, makeup tests are often available.
- COLLEGE: Testing is infrequent (a particular course may have only 2 or 3 tests in a semester) and may cover large amounts of material. You are expected to organize the material to prepare for the test. Professors rarely offer review sessions, and when they do, expect you to come prepared with questions. Makeup tests are rarely an option; on exam day you need to be prepared and on time.
- HIGH SCHOOL : Good grades are based on the ability to comprehend what you were taught in the form in which it was presented to you, or to solve the types of problems you were taught how to solve. Courses are usually structured to reward a "good-faith effort so consistently good homework grades may help raise your overall grade if test grades are low. In addition, extra credit projects are often available to help raise your grade.
- COLLEGE: Good grades are based on your ability to apply what you've learned to new situations or to solve new kinds of problems. You must do well consistently: grades on tests and papers usually provide most of the course grade. Unlike high school, first tests may account for a substantial part of your course grade and extra credit projects are rarely used to raise a grade.
Graduation Requirements
- HIGH SCHOOL: You may graduate as long as you have passed all required courses with a grade of D or higher.
- COLLEGE: You may graduate only if your average in classes meets the departmental standard – usually a 2.0 or C.
- HIGH SCHOOL: Almost all of your living expenses are paid for. Your textbooks are provided at little or no expense and you are not required to own a computer. You need money for gas, special events, activities or trips.
- COLLEGE: If you live on campus, you will need to pay for housing and dining in advance of each semester. You will need to budget substantial funds for textbooks, which will cost at least $200 each semester. Most colleges require each student to have a computer, which can often be purchased through them at a reduced price. You will need money to meet basic necessities so be prepared!
- HIGH SCHOOL: Parents and teachers will remind you what your responsibilities are and guide you in setting priorities. You will no doubt be corrected if your behavior is out of line.
- COLLEGE: You're now responsible for what you do and don't do, as well as for the consequences of your decisions. In addition to studying, you will be expected to manage a budget, do your own laundry and learn how to live in a whole new environment without a lot of structure. Along the way, you will be faced with a large number of moral and ethical decisions you have not had to face previously. You must balance your responsibilities and set priorities.

Do you have questions about our book cover design services? Here are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions. If you're looking for answers to questions about our formatting and layout services, check our Formatting FAQ page.
How do I get started?
Congratulations – you've finished your book! Visit our Cover Design page to choose the package that best suits your needs – we do print as well as Ebook cover design. At the end of each package page, you'll find a briefing form to complete. This form gives us the information we need to design your cover and complete any formatting work you require as well. When you've completed the form, you'll be directed to a payment page to make your 50% deposit through PayPal.
What happens once I've submitted the briefing form?
Normally the briefing form gives us everything we need to get started on your project. If not, we'll email you for clarification or addition information. Within 14 days (often sooner, depending on our workload) you'll receive at least 2 draft book cover design options based on the information you've given us. You can give us feedback on those, and we will either make changes or design a new cover. In most cases, at least one of the draft covers matches your vision closely enough to be the base for your final cover.
What if I don't like the first drafts?
If you're not happy with either of the drafts, we will come up with at least one additional draft based on your feedback. In most cases that require an additional draft, the third draft is enough to lead to the final draft. If necessary, we will keep providing additional drafts until you're satisfied.
What if I'm unhappy with the process or the result and want to cancel?
If, at any point during the design process, you (or we) cannot agree on a suitable final cover design, or you (or we) are not happy with the process or result, we will completely refund the deposit paid.
What happens once I'm happy with the cover?
Once you're 100% satisfied with your print or Ebook cover design, we will invoice you for the remaining 50% balance through PayPal. Once you've paid, you'll receive the final high resolution files ready to use. Print covers are delivered as print-ready PDFs ready to upload to your printer of choice. Ebook covers are sent as high resolution (1600×2500 pixels) JPEGs. You'll also receive a 3D rendering of your cover for promotional purposes. If you need any other specific sizes for different distributors, we will accommodate those requests.
How much does it cost to design a cover?
Our packages range in price depending on your requirements. Check out our Cover Design page to choose the package that best suits your needs.
What does the price include?
All of our packages include the design fee for your final cover, all royalty-free images used for your cover, and any and all rights to use the cover in any format you want (subject to Shutterstock.com's terms and conditions). There are no further payments due after your remaining 50% balance is paid.
Can I supply an image for the cover?
Yes. However, the image needs to be high enough resolution (at least 300dpi at 6″x9″) and you must own the rights to use the image. Supplying your own image does not change the cover design fee.
What does the fee NOT include?
The design fee does not include the rights to any of the draft covers or designs that were provided before you selected your final cover. The design fee does not include character creation for your cover. If you need a specific character created for your cover image, we may need to use a number of royalty-free images to create him or her. There will be a separate fee for this service.
Can I pay for one cover and use the 2 drafts for two separate covers?
No. The cover design fee provides you with one final cover only. If you would like to use an earlier draft for an additional cover, an additional fee will apply (starting at 50% of the normal cover design price).
Paypal won't accept my credit card. Can I pay directly by credit card instead?
Unfortunately we only accept payments through PayPal at this time.
Does the PRINT cover package include a back and spine design?
Yes it does.
Can I design an EBOOK cover now and a PRINT cover later?
Yes. Our Ebook cover design is initially created in a high resolution that is also suitable for print. Should you choose to convert your Ebook cover to a print cover at a later date, you can simply upgrade to a print package for an additional $100.
