Optifit ®
This physician-directed medical weight loss program is specifically designed for the person who is overweight to severely obese (BMI 26-39). Participants in this program typically need to lose about 30-70 pounds. The aim of this non-surgical medical weight loss program is wellness and prevention. We have successfully helped hundreds of patients restore metabolic balance and eliminate medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, sleep apnea, joint pain, and depression.
Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program
Obesity rates continue to rise in the
Optifit offers a comprehensive weight management program that focuses on long-term weight control rather than short-term weight loss. Our program will help you modify your diet, exercise and eating behaviors (without the use of drugs) by offering weekly monitoring, behavior modification, professional one-on-one counseling, education, exercise sessions and long-term maintenance. If you are serious about weight loss or have even thought about having weight loss surgery the Optifit program is just for you
For weight loss to be effective and lasting, one must eat fewer calories and exercise routinely and efficiently. In Optifit, you will make use of nutritionally complete custom formula products for convenient low-calorie, high-protein meals. Your nutritional program will be tailored to meet your pre-measured metabolic demands. During your entire Optifit program you will be under the supportive care and watchful eyes of a board certified metabolic Physician and Registered Dietitian.
At the same time, it is required that you participate in physical training sessions with your own personal trainer. Since you will be engaging in a low calorie diet it is vital that you are recruiting your muscles to grow through exercise or else your body will draw energy from them, resulting in loss of muscle mass. At least 2 times per week you are to engage in training sessions (15-30 min) utilizing resistances training to build and recruit lean body mass and positively alter body composition during rapid weight loss. In addition to your 2 times a week we encourage you to participate in cardio training. (walking, swimming, biking, dancing, etc..)
Behavioral support is an important element for weight loss success and is provided through weekly educational meetings directed by licensed counselors. Meetings are every Wednesday night at 6:00pm in our conference room. The last Wed. of each month our Registered Dietitian meets with our group to review additional nutritional information.
Learning to implement a habit of regular exercise and smart dietary choices is the key to long term weight loss, metabolic balance, and a lifetime of health benefits.

Safe withdrawal rates have been under a great deal of criticism in recent years, as both investors and planners ratchet downwards their expectations of market returns in the face of a low return environment. Of course, the reality is that safe withdrawal rates are actually based upon low-return environments in the first place, and do not rely upon long-term historical average returns. Nonetheless, a growing body of research suggests that expectations of the safe withdrawal rate should be adjusted based on the current market conditions that apply at the time of retirement.
Accordingly, today's low-yield environment, where the real return on TIPS is actually negative in the coming years, arguably represents one of those times where safe withdrawal rates should be applied with caution. And in fact, a recent draft study by Finke, Pfau, and Blanchett affirms this concern, finding that the probability of failure for today's retirees could be much higher than commonly recognized, given today's real returns on TIPS.
Ultimately, though, just because starting conditions are suboptimal does not guarantee that safe withdrawal rates will fail for today's retirees. By analogy, just because you're walking along the edge of a cliff does not mean you're certain to fall off of it; nonetheless, being closer to the edge of the cliff is certainly more dangerous than being safely inland, and similarly starting a retirement in today's market conditions clearly merits more caution and monitoring!

Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren is not committing to staying the rest of the season to work with new owner Jimmy Haslam.
Holmgren is stepping down after three years in Cleveland. He said Tuesday he would like to help Haslam and incoming CEO Joe Banner in their transition, but doesn't know if that will be possible.
"We did not win enough games," Holmgren said Tuesday at his farewell news conference. "I'm hoping the table is set for the future."
Holmgren added working for the Browns and former owner Randy Lerner was "my last great adventure. I just thought it would be longer."
The Browns are 10-29 with Holmgren as president. The 64-year-old Holmgren did not rule out a return to the sideline.
A Buffalo development group has unveiled a proposal to build a $1.4 billion waterfront sports and entertainment complex that would include a new stadium for the Bills.
Presenting his plan to city officials, Nicholas Stracick described his company's proposal as having the potential to preserve the Bills long-term future and change the city's rust-belt image.

As FRC noted, �529 saving plans continue to reach year-over-year all-time highs. Therefore, investor interest in 529 plans and saving for education continues to rise.� (Those numbers do not include 529 prepaid plans, which held an estimated $22.1 billion of assets at the end of the third quarter of 2012.)
Estimated 529 net outflows (contributions minus withdrawals) were $0.8 billion in the third quarter of 2012, compared to outflows of $0.4 billion in the year-ago quarter. This increase indicates that �investors are successfully using 529 plans for their intended purpose of qualified higher education expenses,� FRC asserted. �Third quarter is when families take withdrawals from 529 savings plans and other investment accounts as that is when tuition bills are due for the academic year."
Among 529 savings plans, Virginia�s CollegeAmerica plan, offered by American Funds, continued to dominate. With $34 billion in assets, up 22.5% in 12 months, this Virginia plan had a 21.0% market share. Only one other plan�New York�s College Savings Program, distributed by Vanguard and administered by Upromise Investments, topped a 5% market share. This direct-sold New York plan, which grew by 23.8% in the past two months, has $12 billion in assets and a 7.1% share, according to FRC.
Among the 10 largest 529 savings plans on the FRC list, the fastest growth (30% in 12 months) was posted by Utah Educational Savings Plan Trust, which is administered by the state and uses Vanguard index funds. Nevada�s Vanguard 529 Savings Plan was close behind, with a 29.3% growth rate. These Utah and Nevada plans have market shares of 3.0% and 4.3%, respectively.
American Funds� 21.0% market share also was enough for leadership among plan managers, but the plans managed by Upromise in 10 states combined to provide a 20% share, in second place. The other leading managers were TIAA-CREF (an 8.3% share from plans in 10 states), Fidelity (7.5% share, four states), and T. Rowe Price (4.8% share, two states).

Oil prices dragged down by economic headwinds
The price of oil drifted below $95 on Wednesday, giving up early gains that came on the heels of a report showing U.S. vehicle sales rising sharply last month.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for October delivery was down 38 cents at $94.92 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.17 to close at $95.30 per barrel on the Nymex on Tuesday.
In London, Brent crude was down 67 cents at $113.61 on the ICE Futures exchange.
Energy market sentiment was lifted in early trading by report showing U.S. new car and truck sales rose 20 percent in August to 1.3 million vehicles — a sign that gasoline consumption could be on the upswing in the world's No. 1 economy. Big pickup sales drove the increase, the Autodata Corp. report said.
But signs that manufacturing around the globe is weakening, which suggests a drop in fuel demand, weighed on oil prices.
U.S. factory activity shrank for a third straight month in August, according to a survey by the Institute for Supply Management released Tuesday.
It's also contracting in just about every other major economy, including the 17 countries that use the euro, Britain, China, Japan and Brazil. In China, factory activity fell last month to its lowest level in more than three years.
Markets are awaiting a meeting Thursday by the European Central Bank, which is expected to announce new measures to tackle the eurozone debt crisis, including the possible purchase of bonds from Spain and Italy.

Meet the cocktail that was inspired by a sandwich… A sandwich I never even ate. (Someday I'll make sense, but that day is not today.)
See, I'm a fan of a local cheese shop/deli. Somewhat masochistically, I read their Facebook updates on what they're serving for lunch, even though I cannot get there during the day because of dumb logistic reasons. Occasionally, their lunch creations involve strawberry-tarragon jam. (…And brie–ugh, told you. It's downright painful and I don't know why I do it to myself.)
So what's a girl to do? Oh, I don't know. Let's try pouring gin on strawberries and tarragon. It'll be fun–I promise.

Please, add bots to offline multiplayer
Like (4)
Is it really difficult to add bots to local multiplayer? This feature will be for all the people who lacks of a decent internet connection, or just want to have some fun playing with their friends against some bots. I f you want to play online, good, go ahead and play it, it wouldn´t hurt anybody if the bots are added to the game. This feature will be really AWESOME, with all the game modes(FFA-TDM-CTF-Domination, etc) and with local rank, level up, prestige, unlock emblems, titles weapons, etc. and custom class. Just type "modern warfare 3 bots" in google or in this forum, and you´ll see how many people wants them.
Check the petition: http://www.change.org/petitions/iw-development-team-please-add-bots-to-local-off line-multiplayer
I just want a direct from someone from IW or Sledhehammer: "yes, it is possible and will be included" or "no, it will not be included"
Spot on!
Myself and two friends would play countless hours on black ops playing against bots on nuketown and training ground. Really bummed out that MW3 doesn't have offline bots.
i agree..Untril they fix the lag issues, and the horrible ass hit registration, im back to battlefield..Its better anyway..MW was atleast fun when im in a rage, and just wanna own, but this is currently unplayable...I can register half a dozen hits on a dude who one shots me ime and time again...Or have him round a corner to blast when i was dug in a trained on him, all b4 i can squeeze off a round! Fix your game, or keep losing/pissing off fans!
Fix the game, give us bots, or we off to bf!
cant u guys see there is not a single administrator responding to any of these discussions, they dont give a **** man
Yeah i agree with esayer, they really don't care about the offline player the only thing they care about is just making extra cash through the only portion of the game that requires Internet connection, i regret even buying this game, i only played it a few days, not even to get a single day of multiplayer gameplay due to lag and other problems and i have good Internet. It would be nice to see this to help train with the weapon proficiencies and killstreaks, but bots are never going to happen, after all this is IW, they only care about the consumer who plays the game online. I just went back to Black Ops multiplayer because my friends hated MW3.
u r right they just want from us to pay thats all they care.and ya BOTS will make the game amazing and awesome
Yes, please bring back bots. Myself and two friends would spend hours on end playing the 3 of us against 7 bots on Nuketown and Training Ground. I'd even like to play with a friend that lives out of state say 4 vs 4 but 3 bots per team. Bring Back The Bots!
yeah im a HUGE fan of bots. i still do go back and play for hours with mates and my gf. just the thought of practicing quickscopes and new playstyles on mw3 with bots gives me goosebumps haha i know they probably wont be patched in this late but it would make this the best game ever and even when its years old and the servers are dead everyone would still be able to enjoy the MP experience. please IW, pay treyarch abit of dough and get them to patch it in haha i just wanna play bots...

The Black Vera Wang
The only West Wing episode to name-check a fashion designer, The Black Vera Wang (season 3, episode 19) is mostly noticeable for setting up the last two acts of the season.
It contains all the tropes of an Aaron Sorkin teleplay: Josh and Donna banter, a staffer getting screwed over for trying to Do The Right Thing (Sam), further proof that the Republicans are evil (Sam), a fictional Middle East country used to discuss America's real foreign policy issues (Qumar) and CJ's love life clashing with her role as press secretary.
The episode title comes from a black Vera Wang dress CJ tries on in a department store while helping her niece buy an outfit for junior prom. The dress symbolises both how CJ is attracted to the Secret Service agent in charge of her protection, and reciprocally, and the threat she's under, which warranted the protection in the first place and means their liaison is not to be.

Volume Inventory
One of the most important tasks of a network administrator is to document the used resources. The used disk space is one part of this job. NetWare as well as OES 2 on Linux offer a quick and easy way to execute this job. As a Novell Trainer I recently noticed that several Admins do not know this task. That's the reason for this tip.

There are plenty of file system trustee backup mechanisms for both NetWare and OES2 Linux, but they all hurt my brain. Sure, XML is great and who doesn't love Linux but I wanted a simple Windows app that could read the trustees from a volume hosted by either NetWare or OES2 Linux, would store the results in a human readable and modifiable format, and which I could use to restore said trustees to a volume hosted by either NetWare or OES2 Linux. This is the app I came up with.

Every patient is assigned a designated team to include their oncologist, naturopathic physician, nutritionist, care manager, and mind-body therapist who will guide them through their journey.
CTCA was built on The Mother Standard® of care. By following the Mother Standard, every employee is empowered to lovingly care for patients and their caregivers the same way they would want their own loved ones to be treated. More than the gold standard, the Mother Standard has transformed the face of oncology care.

If you plan to engage the psoriasis community, there is no better way than working with the National Psoriasis Foundation. For the past three years, many companies wanting to reach this niche demographic have worked with us to develop measurable campaigns that leave a lasting impression.
In 2008, we partnered with the American Academy of Dermatology to develop and execute a campaign featuring singer LeAnn Rimes called Stop Hiding from Psoriasis™. The campaign not only encouraged people with psoriasis to see a dermatologist to better manage their disease, but also educated the public about psoriasis and dispelled common misperceptions attached to the disease. The Psoriasis Foundation activated the demographic through its many marketing platforms and the one-year campaign made at least 100 million media impressions.
In 2009 and 2010, the Foundation worked alongside one of the top PR agencies in the country to highlight Tim Gunn and the Addressing Psoriasis™ campaign, which was designed to help people with psoriasis actively manage their condition, be more confident and not let their disease get in the way of their personal style. The six-month campaign turned into two separate campaigns spanning two years. The media response was phenomenal, reaching millions of people and engaging many patients to become empowered and feel more confident.
In December 2010, the National Psoriasis Foundation partnered with Jon Lovitz on a campaign called Are You Serious?™, which uses Jon Lovitz's humor to encourage people to speak openly with their dermatologist about the disease. The campaign features an educational website, humorous public service announcements, a song parody and more. The campaign has reached millions of people through top-level media placements and encouraged many people to talk with their dermatologists to find treatment.
The National Psoriasis Foundation offers many opportunities to get in front of millions of people with psoriatic disease. No campaign or special project is too large or too small. If you would like to discuss the options, please contact Catie Coman, Vice President, Marketing and Communications, at 1.800.723.9166, ext. 367, or email email@example.com.

Building a Sustainable NYC From the Ground Up
The Pratt Center welcomes media inquiries. Please contact Myles Lennon with requests to speak to our experts on community and economic development in New York City.
News last updated April 16, 2013
In the spring of 2012, Pratt Center's Made In NYC initiative released a company profile of Carry Hot, a thermal delivery bag manufacturer based in NYC. The company profile brought attention to Carry Hot's innovative products, and helped the Manhattan-based company win a sizable contract with the New York City Department of Education. And they are very close to winning several other contracts with other U.S. cities. We're pleased to report that these new contracts will create over a dozen quality manufacturing jobs for New Yorkers. At the same time, Carry Hot's thermal delivery bags will now keep more public school lunches hot and fresh. The Pratt Center is proud to support local manufacturers like Carry Hot through our Made In NYC initiative. The original company profile is below.

The Pratt Center for Community Development joined over 50 community, faith, labor, environmental organizations, elected officials and New Yorkers affected by Sandy on Tuesday, January 8 at City Hall to announce recommendations for a just and equitable rebuilding of New York City
These recommendations, also released in a joint open letter the week of December 31, call on the City to rebuild New York's infrastructure to address economic inequality and to include affected communities in a transparent process when making decisions that impact their neighborhoods. Our recommendations ask not just for increased but equitable investment, focusing on the hardest hit communities first. This increased investment should create new jobs to help regrow the damaged economy. The broad alliance of sinatories request immediate relief for residents displaced from their homes or without power and heat as well as increased transportation options and access to food and fresh water. Finally, we urge the City to build sustainable infrastructure, and have continuously stressed the importance of transparency and community input when making decisions. The same diverse group of labor, community and faith-based organizations who worked on the drafting of these recommendations should be consulted by the City in their rebuilding efforts.

On November 12, Pratt Center Director Adam Friedman participated in a webinar panel on engaging members of Generation Z (young people born between 1990-2002) in the field of sustainable manufacturing. The panel took the following questions as a catalyst for discussion: what makes manufacturing cool? How do we get today's youth excited about new opportunities in manufacturing? The discussion was led by Anita Brown-Graham, director of the Institute for Emerging Issues.
Manufacturers and allied organizations are concerned that young people come to the workforce armed with a variety of stereotypes and other assumptions that make them less inspired to take on careers in manufacturing. They worry that manufacturing is not in-keeping with the values of sustainability and environmental protection and preservation. Manufacturing portends a lack of job-security as evidenced by massive layoffs and the closing of plants and production facilities in decades past. But as Mr. Friedman pointed out, manufacturing now seeks to merge environmental and economic concerns. Manufacturers are at the forefront of green infrastructure and design, creating sustainable products for a variety of uses while facilities are complying with new environmental standards aimed at increasing productivity and efficiency while protecting and improving the natural environment. The entire webnar is featured below.

While we have seen a robust and inspiring recovery effort from Superstorm Sandy, many of New York City's communities remain without shelter, heat, electricity, and food. We urge you to donate or volunteer here to help address the most urgent needs. But you can also help rebuild the city by doing your holiday shopping through Made In NYC.
The city's small manufacturers are critical to a healthy diverse economy with good jobs for New Yorkers, and to the character and soul of our neighborhoods. Yet Sandy threatened many of these businesses' ability to operate, and in some cases, to survive. Many lost all their inventory, supplies and equipment at what is often their busiest season.

On October 11, 2012, The Rockefeller Foundation President, Judith Rodin announced: Ron Shiffman, the founder of the Pratt Center for Community Development, is the recipient of the 2012 Jane Jacobs Medal for Lifetime Leadership. The medal recognizes his lifetime of achievement and leadership in promoting community-based activism.
As a student in the early 1960s, Mr. Shiffman, along with Professor George Raymond and others, worked on a study of Bedford-Stuyvesant, anticipating an urban renewal program planned for the neighborhood by the city's planning agencies. In partnership with the community, Shiffman and the Pratt planning school team developed a comprehensive plan to rebuild Bedford-Stuyvesant through economic development programs that became a model for the creation of community development corporations today. Mr. Shiffman's work in Bedford-Stuyvesant inspired him and Prof. Raymond to found the Pratt Center in 1964. The Center is proud to carry on his legacy through its efforts to create a more equitable New York City.
This announcement comes parallel to the recent publication of Beyond Zuccotti Park: Freedom of Assembly and the Occupation for Public Space and the launch of the Democracy, Equity and Public Space initiative on which Mr. Shiffman is a lead editor and organizer. Democracy, Equity and Public Space is a collaborative initiative to promote discourse on public spaces as hubs for civic and political engagement through the publication of Beyond Zuccotti Park and through a national program of public forums, exhibits, and public policy advocacy. For more information on the book and the collaborative initiative, click here.

In June, Pratt Center joined our partners, members of the Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance (SBRWA), and walked out of a meeting in protest of the City's announcement that its federally-funded TIGER study would exclude further consideration of removing the Sheridan Expressway. The SBRWA is a coalition of community-based and citywide organizations that has worked together since 1997 to create a new vision for the Sheridan Expressway corridor– an underutilized highway that is part of a transportation system that serves neither truckers nor community residents well.

In August, ARTS East New York, with the support of Pratt Center and the Rockefeller Cultural Innovation Fund, launched The Mural Mile program – an empowerment and community beautification initiative along Livonia Avenue, considered by most residents a dark and dangerous stretch plagued with crime. As part of the initiative, young men of the East New York community will research, examine and discuss the poetry and speeches of noted African American and Latino artists and learn how to interpret that work into visual imagery to bring their artistic vision to fruition. On August 17, Pratt Center took part in ARTs East New York's unveiling of a new mural to start the program.
News last updated June 29, 2012
Two Pratt Center Experts, Elena Conte, Organizer for Public Programs, and Joan Byron Director of Policy, were quoted in a WNYC story on the Sheridan Expressway in the Bronx, New York.

On October 21st and 22nd, 2011, over 200 Cypress Hills and East New York community members came together to re-envision the way their neighborhoods look, feel and work at the Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation (CHLDC)'s Verde Summit, an inclusive, bi-lingual community planning event held at the Cypress Hills Community School. Pratt Center worked closely with CHLDC to plan the summit, with sponsorship from the Brooklyn Community Foundation. The Summit incorporated themes that were revealed by more than 600 responses to a Community Satisfaction Survey, designed by Pratt Center and conducted by CHLDC during the spring and summer of 2011, which assessed resident concerns about living, working, eating and learning in their neighborhoods.
The Pratt Center works for a more just, equitable, and sustainable city for all New Yorkers.

Cummings still loves Clarendon Hills
Jan Cummings is one of the founding members of Citizens for Clarendon Hills.
Updated: December 30, 2012 6:15AM
CLARENDON HILLS — But for a stint in Washington, D.C. after her marriage, Jan Cummings has lived in Clarendon Hills since 1969. She has been librarian at Notre Dame School for 26 years, and wrote a Clarendon Hills community column for The Doings from 1988-2004. She is one of the founders of Citizens for Clarendon Hills, formed to oppose a 2012 village referendum seeking home rule.
Q. After being gone for 10 years in Washington, D.C., why did you choose to again live in Clarendon Hills when you came back to the area?
A. We didn't want to look anywhere else. My husband missed Clarendon Hills so much. We missed that small-town feeling.
Q. Did you find Clarendon Hills to be much different when you returned after living elsewhere for 10 years?
A. It really wasn't different. The people haven't changed, even now. Some of the businesses that were here before are gone, but the community itself hasn't changed much at all from when we first moved here to now.
Q. Do you miss writing your column for The Doings?
A. I miss it every day. I miss it because everyone has a story. I guess being interested in that is my nature because I still automatically listen for that when I talk to people.
Q. What do you enjoy most about your job as the librarian at Notre Dame?
A. My biggest job is to encourage reading, and I enjoy doing that with the kids. I also enjoy getting to read all the time. We have something we call DEAR — Drop Everything And Read — it's where everyone in the school reads for 20 minutes every day after lunch.
Q. Why did you get involved in the group that formed Citizens for Clarendon Hills?
A. A former Clarendon Hills resident called me to ask about home rule because of the referendum the village was planning. A group of us got together to talk about it, and we continued to meet on Saturday mornings. Really, the idea was to educate residents about home rule and the referendum.
Q. If Citizens for Clarendon Hills was formed to educate residents about home rule and the referendum, why did the group take a stand against the referendum?
A. You can only go so far with education before you take a stand on something. We are continuing with our group as an educational tool for the community, and with some things it won't necessarily be about us taking any stand.

The RFU have confirmed Mike Catt has joined Stuart Lancaster's staff as the new England attacking skills coach.
The 40-year-old, who was capped 75 times by England and was selected for the 2001 British & Irish Lions tour of Australia, impressed during a temporary spell within the set-up on the recent tour of South Africa.
Despite Andy Farrell's return to the international scene, Catt has now been handed a permanent position as England prepare to face Fiji, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand in the autumn.
"Mike made a big impression in South Africa, both on the players and the management," said Lancaster.
"When we got back I asked him to outline his vision for developing not only the skills of the senior team, especially in attack, but with our younger players in the Saxons.
"Having played at the highest level for many years and developed his coaching during his time at London Irish he has a clear plan for developing these skills."

Two weeks til Kimber comes home! (Updated Pics)
I posted a "3 weeks til I get my new puppy" thread a little early, and now it's been ALMOST two weeks since those pictures were taken. I'm SO excited to get this beautiful little solid black girl from a great hobby breeder in my area. She's to be nothing more than a great companion, but she's already growing like a weed!
Here's her picture from two weeks ago. @ 6lbs and here's some pictures of her two days ago, nearing 12 lbs. When I pick her up from the Breeder she'll be 8 weeks and 4 days old. The "perfect" age in my opinion, and I can't wait to play with, love, and accompany her through life's journey. I know there's trying times ahead but I also know that once the "puppy" wears off and the "dog" shines through, I'll be SO glad we got her! |

8 – Farm Practices
While not certified organic, we always consider organic methods in dealing with problems. Keeping up to date with new and old technology, we do our utmost to follow best practices; for the environment, food safety, energy conservation, biodiversity and "people safety". Our rule of thumb is that we do not apply anything on our vegetables that we would not want our children exposed to. We do not believe that any type of agriculture is a "best practice" template and we feel that we need to consider the pros and cons of all methodologies when selecting "Nature's Route Farm's" practices. We believe in being completely transparent in our practices and hope that this explanation provides you with insight into our methods while reassuring you that our practices are truly sustainable.
All crops need ample nutrients to thrive. Without enough to eat our vegetables take more work, more fossil fuels, have more pests and lower yields. We export a lot of vegetables that consist of nutrients from the soil. We have to replace those nutrients somehow.
Green Manures. We use an extensive crop rotation to control weeds, pests and provide green manure fertilizers for our crops. Rotation crops include perennial grasses, buckwheat, fall rye, oats, vetches and field peas.
Manure. Manure (home gown and neighbour grown) is our best fertilizer. It provides nutrients in proportions that our vegetables can use and is a great soil amendment. In the long run we are working towards applying manure as compost. We ensure that there is at least 4 months between spreading of manure and harvesting of vegetables.
Crabmeal. We buy crabmeal from W.E. Acres in Cap Pele and use it to provide nitrogen, phosphorous and calcium. As our flock of sheep grows and we get more manure we hope to significantly reduce our crabmeal applications.
K-Mag. http://www.kmag.com/ We use a commercial look alike to K-Mag, an organic certifiable source of potassium to compensate for our potassium deficiency.
Boron. Our soil is prone to boron deficiency and we grow several crops that are heavy boron users. We use Solubor – 20.5% and also have it added to our K-Mag fertilizer.
Our thorough crop rotations combined with naturally low pest pressure enable us to grow vegetables without an entire arsenal of pest control measures. We know people do not like to get worms in their broccoli (or corn) and we believe that potatoes are an excellent food source; these crops require some intervention on our part to control pests. Considering the effort we put into growing your food and the reliance you have on us to provide your food (and our reliance on the income we derive from the food we sell) we accept the responsibility of managing pests in an environmentally sustainable and safe way. Until 2010 we had never applied pesticides to our crops. We use certified organic products to control insects and cabbage worms.
Treated Seeds. Seeds are often treated with fungicides and may be treated with insecticides. We always specify untreated seed in our seed orders. In the past if there was a "mix-up" and we got treated seeds; we always ensured that we told our clients that their food was grown using treated seeds.
Fungicides. Until 2011 we had never applied fungicides and did experience significant crop failures due to late blight (the same fungus that caused the Irish Potato Famine). Late blight affects potatoes and tomatoes mostly. Organic agriculture uses copper to control fungus. I hesitate to apply copper on my farm because it persists in the soil, is not a selective fungicide and it is not really very effective. As an alternative, starting in 2011 we will apply phosphorous acid (labelled CONFINE) to provide systemic protection (http://www4.agr.gc.ca/abstract-resume/abstract-resume.htm?lang=eng&id=21313000000486). This is a very promising techonolgy that should significantly reduce our environmental impact while being safe for consumers.
Herbicides. We do not use herbicides. We weed by hand, with a hoe and cultivate with the tractors. Our crop rotation plays a significant roll in controlling our worst weed, couch grass.
Insecticides. Insects are the cause of our most challenging pest problems. Corn Ear Worms, European Corn Borer, Colorado Potato Beetle (CPB), and Cabbage Worms are the main culprits. Until 2010 we had never used insecticides on our farm and consider their use a last resort; for you, the environment, and us. Here are the products that we may use:
- Entrust 80W. The Colorado Potato Bug has gotten out of control and for our neighbours' sake and the sake of all the nightshade related vegetables we grow we will use an organic insecticide to bring our population down. We will be using a certified organic insecticide – entrust 80w - http://www.dowagro.com/ca/prod/entrust.htm We take steps to protect our pollinators.
- Netting. We will use insect netting and row cover to protect some crops from insect damage. Insect netting is effective at controlling insect and "worms" in radish, broccoli and cabbage.
- BT. BT is a certified organic insecticide. We use BT primarly on cole crops (broccoli, cabbage…) when netting has not been effective and while we transition to a more effective netting system. http://www.valent.com/agriculture/products/dipel/loader.cfm?csModule=security/getfile&pageid=19241

Easiest way to win Finding the bomb. - Project IGI: I'm Going In
Easiest way to win Finding the bomb.
In the beginning,kill the soldier above you with sniper,then quickly run to the next part(a door with pistol sign).Take the knife and attack him from behind or use the MP5SD3(Don't use any other guns as it alerts the other guards).Then use the peak to look the next guard,if he is looking towards the elevator,take the silenced gun and fire clean to his head,then the other in the same way.Then go to the elevator and go upwards,clean all the guards in the same way,then open the door using the computer and return and take all the weapons including Law 80.Then without opening the door,take the AK and fire to the door,if you aim correctly,all the soldiers behind the door die,because the door is not bulletproof.Then quickly run towards right and take cover from the tank.use the silenced gun to eliminate both guards,then clear the Spas 12.Then run towards the room where you get Jackhammer(A computer room).This maybe a glitch,but if you constantly jump upwards you will get into the top of the wall and everything will be black or blue.Jump straight to the Cooling system.You will get experienced if you try more.OR - take the jackhammer and return,then open the door and clear the Uzi,use the grenade to destroy the security camera and clear the two guards.Here you can see some crates or wooden boxes and there is medipack on it.Take it and jump to it,then to the left box,here,the same thing happens,you will be on the top of the wall and you can jump straight to the coolant system,Remember take the silenced gun before jumping.In this way you can skip many boring parts in the last mission and win quickly.Also use silenced guns so that it will not alert other guards.Always remember that nothing in this game is infinite so,in the last part,you have to kill ekk,so before killing her take those stupid guards holding spas 12,they will come again and again,maybe more than 12,but after that they will not come and you can kill Ekk in a simple way.Remember Ekk's gun is Desert Eagle and is powerful,so avoid straight combats.Apparently,Anya's gun is Colt Anaconda!

graphs are nothing, listening is everything.
post #19 of 42012/20/12 at 12:12pmYea it looks like it would have forward sounding female vocals and acoustic instruments while recessed male vocals, electronic synths, the lower piano notes etc. Mid/upper bass focused with a bit of high frequency bite (9kHz).
Graphs are very useful when you know what appeals to your taste. I could roughly draw my ideal curve at this point from having tested different headphones, compared their FR graphs against each other and how I kept EQing the headphones (if need be) and compare EQ setting vs their stock FR response. There was always a pattern to be found, I always EQ'd based on what my senses/ears wanted to hear without checking graphs, ie. I EQ'd towards my subjectively preferred FR response (what sounded good to me) and the headphones started to sound more similarly balanced as a result.

I used to be a Sound and Vision subscriber in the past. None of their reviews are very objective, so they really don't provide an honest view that will serve of value to the readers. We all love to see positive reviews for the products we own, or for those we are seeking out - which we most likely desire the validation perspective in such reviews. Then again, I haven't let a bad review completely deter myself from making a purchase, either. I've found that there are times when a reviewer's opinion and mine don't exactly match up.
With that said, I like Yamaha as a brand, and have their components in my home audio systems. I just wish they didn't hop on the "Beats" design philosophy so quickly.

Unfortunately that cherry has been popped... and Im not the great un-boxer that you are HiFiGuy! :P
Ill see what I can do with the resources I have.
I have the racing blue version.
I havent opened that many headphone boxes in the past. This was a bit ordinary. The headphones feel plasticky, the headband "cushion" is rubbery. When I opened the D600 box, I was thinking "luxury". These are more "lets roll", they are more toy like. The ear cushions and area inside the cushion is a lot smaller than the Denons too.
Yah, to sum up, you feel like the Denons are worth the cash, the PRO500s not so much.

okay, here is my amateur opening video. There is no voice over sorry.
Keep in mind I had already opened this box and removed a lot of the packing materials (pieces of paper, plastic, foam etc).
One thing I dont like is the ribbon thin 3m long cable. It does not say "audiophile" to me. The Denon's also have 2 cables, one portable and one much thicker for home listening.
Overall, looks & comfort wise the Denons win. Both headphones have been described as "beats rip offs". IF the Denon's ripped off Beats, they did an awesome "luxury" version. Yamaha did not aim that high.
The Yamahas are louder at the some volume level than the Denons.
I dont want to get into sound as its too early and I'm an amateur. So after some more burning in and getting used to these I will do some personal comparisons. I already have some observations, but I dont want to affect what other people will expect when they listen to these.
edit: both headphones fit my head without having to extend the headband at all.
edit2: i can see why Yamaha designed them this way, by being more "generic" they will be more acceptable when you take them outside.

Depending on the room or home, blinds and shades make for a decorative look, while interior shutters make for a classier look and stay true to their name – they shut the sun out. There are a number of options for a decorative look such as, wood, metal or vertical blinds and cellular, naturally woven, roller, and soft vertical shades. Cellular blinds are deemed the most "green"; naturally woven shades are usually associated with the typical beach house but can work in any room. Soft vertical shades resemble a drapery whereas vertical blinds are ideal for patio doors. Those who enjoy sleeping in without having the sunlight be your alarm clock may want to try interior shutters. Traditional shutters are recommended for smaller windows as they have 1 ¼ inch slats with a ¾ inch frame; plantation shutters, otherwise know as California shutters, have much thicker slats. Either way, indoor shutters look fantastic on the outside and inside and many don't even want or need curtains because of this polished look. As with exterior shutters, interior shutters can be of the same material, with wood being the most expensive.
Cellular shades are very popular. They're available with no cords, which is a great feature if you have small kids or pets in the house. It eliminates the danger of accidental strangling. If you choose blinds that have cords, never tie the cords together.
Faux wood blinds are good for areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms. It's almost impossible to tell them from the real thing without scratching them to see if the color goes all the way through.
Woven blinds are a big trend, too. They look like bamboo and they provide texture to the window treatment. They're easy to install and are also available in cordless models.
Plantation shutters can really change the appearance of a room and are a great look for traditional homes. They don't need drapes or additional treatment, but they are the most expensive of the options.
Purchasing new shutters for your home or business is a major investment, so you'll want to make sure your shutters stand the test of time for many years to come.
While a shutter warranty can help protect you from future maintenance and replacement costs, it isn't a full-proof solution. Some warranties, if stated at all, will deem that most repairs are due to standard wear and tear, and therefore, won't be covered. Or if the company goes out of business, the warranty will obviously no longer be valid. So what can you as the customer do to protect yourself? The best solution is to buy high quality and well-constructed shutters from the beginning. While this will cost more at the beginning, you will end up saving in the long run by extending the life of your investment.
Also ask these important questions before choosing a shutter warranty.
And, buyer beware, if the warranty does not completely cover service calls or costs to ship the product back to the factory, it isn't a good warranty. So keep shopping around.
About us: French Custom Shutters, Inc. is a family owned corporation. Founded in 1977 and structured to produce furniture quality custom wood shutters.

Scott Foster, a 1996 broadcast journalism major from Eastern New Mexico University, is a volunteer for the National Marrow Donor Program.
" I worked at KENW as an anchor/reporter/producer while at ENMU," says Scott. "Then I worked in TV news for about six years before I decided to choose another career. I just got burned out on some of the shallowness of the TV world. I'm currently a waiter at The Olive Garden in Abilene, Texas. I'm still trying to decide what I'd like to do for the rest of my life."
Scott says he got involved with the National Marrow Donor Program while working for the CBS station in Amarillo, Texas.
"I finally became a "match" for someone a few months ago. Now I'm scheduled to donate bone marrow at the end of May to a 66-year-old woman with a form of leukemia."

Many years and life events later, she has plenty to say and has found just the right medium, storytelling, to say it.
