What You Eat = How You Feel
I've always known that eating a big, fresh salad "felt good" and that when I ate other foods, for example bread or eggs, I didn't feel so good. Yet, for some reason I didn't investigate how individual foods made me feel until I did my first Conscious Cleanse almost two years ago. I also never considered not eating the foods that made me feel not so great. Why I didn't even consider stop eating foods that made me feel bad is still a mystery to me today…
When I visited my family in July, I made some food choices that were not so good for me (even though I ate overall healthy foods with plenty of vegetables and just an occasional "treat food."). I drank some coffee, wine, and ate a bit more sugar than usual. And those foods and beverages certainly had an effect on how I felt. Coffee makes me feel on edge and makes my natural tendency to worry worse. Wine contributes to mood swings and more often than not makes me feel somewhat "down" or sad the next day. Sugar, even "natural" sugar in fruits, makes me feel always hungry – a feeling I truly don't like.
When I came back from my trip, I had some eggs, which my body can't digest and was left with a tummy ache. Yet, I had eggs on more than one occasion. I also know that small amounts of gluten snuck into my diet. Gluten not only gives me a stomach ache but also contributes to "brain fog" and a general feeling of not being well.
It took me feeling really terrible to decide that it was time to truly clean things up again because not feeling as well as I can is just not an option. Plus, if I don't feel well, I'm sure it's not good for the insides of my body either.
So it's back to warm lemon water, green smoothies, big, colorful salads, grilled fish, and grass-fed beef. Plus, there will be a bit of cheese. Feeling as good as possible sure tastes great!
Here is an example of a recent, simple, delicious lunch that left me feeling good: Portobello mushroom, spinach salad, and Caprese salad.
Questions: Do you actively investigate how what you eat makes you feel? Do you sometimes eat/drink things that don't make you feel your best? Why or why not?
Be well,

I don't investigate it actively but I do know that when I eat too much sugar I get very tired and headaches so I try to avoid that. Also milk doesn't make me feel good, I only use that in my coffee and sometimes in recipes but I don't drink it anymore. And dishes that have too much fat in it are a 100% certainty I have to use the bathroom within the hour :)ReplyDelete
Besides that I don't really pay attention to how food makes me feel.
I guess I'm very lucky my body doesn't react so strongly to non-primal / clean foods. It's made my transition and 100% committment to primal a little slower than it should've been. Nearing the end of my 1st year of maintenance, I'm learning to intellectually choose foods, not just emotionally or physically. Good for you for making wise choices for your body!!ReplyDelete
As always, your food looks delicious and totally non-sacrificial I too have found that certain foods, esp refined carbs, make me feel a bit stiff in the joints and bloated. So knowing that makes me much more willing to forego them. :-)ReplyDelete
MY LIFE is one big FOOD INVESTIGATION! I cannot eat wheat, dairy, gluten, sugar, soy, nuts, fruit & eggs!! Obviously I had to do a lot of elimination trials and errors in order to figure out what on earth was causing me so much distress - and I still do encounter it every so often :(ReplyDelete
Fortunately I do not have this issue...so far I can eat everything and do not have any reaction...the only problem is the quantity...this yes sometimes make me feel really bad when I exceed what I would be eating...ReplyDelete
Hope you are enjoying your week Andrea :D
I'm so glad you've found out what helps you feel healthy and energetic! It's sometimes difficult to tease out what doesn't work for you, especially if you don't know how. Sometimes, people are so busy, they don't stop to think about what might not be working for them! I don't feel so hot after a heavy dessert (though that's more of a quantity thing ;) ), but I occasionally indulge without guilt and move quickly to my always foods :)ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend, Andrea!Replies
Yes, it's not easy to figure out what isn't working. Until I did an elimination diet, I actually didn't realize how terrible I felt after I ate certain foods. I think I hadn't felt truly well for so long that I didn't know what that felt like...Delete
Have a great weekend, too!
I always pay attention to how I feel - I don't always make all the changes unless it is something that really makes me feel bad.. :) Some stuff I just want - like my veggies - most make me toot - oh well... :)ReplyDelete
I forget to pay attention to the relationship between specific foods and my body's reactions. Yet I know I get cranky depending on intake. GrrrrReplyDelete

Garstang Ukulele Group
The instrument we now know as the ukulele was first named that by Hawaiians, although their pronunciation was and is oo-koo-leh-leh. In the mid 19th century King David of Hawaii went on a journey around the world seeking out ways of increasing the prosperity of his islands. He invited many people to come and settle in Hawaii and in the 1870's a number of Portuguese emigrants from Madeira arrived and they brought their small 4 and 5 stringed instruments with them. When they played these the Hawaiians thought the movement of the strings reminded them of jumping fleas (oo-koo-leh-leh) and so this became its new name. From the very start the Hawaiians took this funny little instrument to their hearts.
In the 1890's the independence of Hawaii was threatened by American and European businessmen who wished to exploit the islands and by the end of the 19th century Hawaii had been colonised by the USA. During the early 20th century many Americans began to visit and they enjoyed the sounds of the ukulele during their excursions to these islands. They brought the instrument back to the US with them and it soon became part of the popular culture. From there it has found its way back across the Atlantic and to Garstang.
Come and join us on Sundays from 2-4 at the Arts Centre

Power Foods -- even for dessert
One of my favorite cookbooks is Powerfoods (from the editors of Martha Stewart's Whole Living Magazine). The recipes use "among the heathiest foods on earth." If you love using fresh and healthy ingredients, I highly recommend this cookbook.
At the end of the book are desserts. I was flipping through it and saw "Orange-Walnut Olive Oil Cake with Sweet Yogurt." …the cake jumped out of me for so many reasons:
#1: The description said that Olive Oil Cakes are very popular in Italy. My obesession with all that is European sold me on this fact…somehow they just know how to do it best over there. With simple, high-quaility ingredients. Plus, I have never olive oil in baking. I was intrigued.
It said to use extra-virgin olive oil if you prefer a more "pronounced fruitiness." Well, that sounds good to me.
#2: The recipe called for ingredients I love and are staples that I eat everyday: walnuts, oranges, greek yogurt, olive oil. I was set.
#3 Sometimes there is nothing worse than finding a great recipe but soon realizing that you don't have any of the ingredients in your kitchen! That's just a pain. But this time I already had all of the ingredients on hand. So, I didn't need to make a trip out. It was fate. So, I got out a bowl and measuring cup…
The recipe is super easy. You just mix it all with a spoon and spoon it into a pan (An 8 inch square pan or one, round 8 inch cake pan) and bake. See, it really is simple.
Now, I usually change a recipe and tweak it to make it my own. But this one I did exactly was it said. The only change I made was that I used Whole-Wheat Flour instead of all-purpose flour.
This cake is not too sweet. I loved mixing the powered sugar in with the greek yogurt! It is better than whipped cream because it's thicker and almost sweeter. It moistens the cake.
Orange-Walnut Olive Oil Cake with Sweet Yogurt
- ½ cup olive oil (I used extra-virgin)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (I used whole-wheat)
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest, plus more for garnish
- ½ cup fresh orange juice (from 2-3 oranges)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 cup plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar (powdered sugar), plus more for dusting
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush 8X2 inch round cake pan with oil. Then dust with flour and tap out the excess. (Line bottom with parchment for easy removal, if desired).
- Pulse walnuts in food processor until finely ground (or finely chop by hand)
- In large bowl, whisk together orange zest, flour, baking powder, salt, and ground walnuts. Make a well in the center of flour mixture and stir in eggs, brown sugar, orange juice, and oil until JUST moistend. Don't overmix!
- Pour batter in pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to cool.
- Meanwhile, stir powdered sugar with the greek yogurt in a small bowl.
- Before serving dust the top of the cake with the powdered sugar and slice into wedges and serve with sweet yogurt and garnish with orange zest. (store cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator)

Feb 11, 2015 IRGC News, Politic, Slider Comments Off on Iran hardliners' inflexible stance
Several other IRGC commanders and news outlets with ties to the IRGC took the same threatening position, with Jafari's deputy warning that "Iran has prepared itself for a war with world powers and the Israelis are much smaller than that".
Considering that these threats come after what the Iranians have called a "great victory for Hezbollah", one may wonder what explains this aggressive posture.
There could be three explanations.
First, it is possible that these threats are for domestic consumption, targeting an Iranian audience, primarily conservatives, to mask Tehran's lack of a response to the Israeli attack. This could be a plausible hypothesis because Iran does not want to risk a full-fledged war with Israel unless it is absolutely necessary and the survival of the system is in danger. To Iran, the current circumstances — the death of one of its generals, especially after Israel's denial of any knowledge of the general's presence in the Hezbollah convoy in Syria — do not justify a war with Israel. Even if the Israeli explanation lacks muster, its statement implicitly expresses regret in an effort to de-escalate the situation.
One should remember that in 1998, the Taliban, sworn enemies of the Shiites, attacked the Iranian consulate in Mazar-e-Sharif, capturing and killing nine Iranians, eight of them diplomats. Following the incident, Iran amassed 100,000 troops on the Afghanistan border. The members of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), including the mellow president Mohammad Khatami, overwhelmingly voted for attacking Afghanistan.
The Supreme Leader would in a vast majority of cases follow the decisions made by the majority of the SNSC, despite his authority, based on Article 176 of the Iranian Constitution, to veto its decisions. This time, however, he vetoed the SNSC majority decision, and the attack was called off.
It is important to note that Iran's leader did not support the IRGC position. His anti-Israel position is well known, but he did not issue a statement that Iran would take its own revenge, regardless of Hezbollah.
The second explanation may be tied to a classic good-cop, bad-cop approach: Negotiators may reason before their P5+1 (US, Britain, France, Russia, China + Germany) counterparts, specifically the Americans, that they should work with them or, if negotiations are withdrawn, the West would have to deal with a group of people who embrace war with the West and Israel.
This can also be viewed as a reaction to Benjamin Netanyahu's clear interference in US foreign policy — a policy now backed by a Republican-dominated Congress that is defying the Obama administration's strategy to bring Iran's nuclear crisis to an end.
However, the fact that hardliners refuse any nuclear compromise with the US makes this hypothesis less plausible and the third argument more so. They firmly believe that unless the Iranians make a huge concession, it is very unlikely that there will be an agreement.
The third explanation, which is contrary to the second, is that the IRGC hopes to deepen existing antagonism between both Iran and Israel, and Iran and the US. The goal of the latter is to weaken Obama's conciliatory, problem-solving position towards Tehran in the face of American hawks on Iran who are pro-Israel. Simply put, the IRGC's effort is part of the factional infighting between the radicals and moderates over the nuclear issue, and is a clear manifestation of domestic politics influencing foreign policy.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and his team's worldview is that Iran cannot live in isolation and constant confrontation. They believe in a world where interdependence necessitates interaction and oppose the realist view that military power is the country's principle national interest. In December 2014, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif commented that Iran has become more secure by pursuing negotiations. The IRGC chief commander, Jafari, criticised Zarif's position, highlighting "the Islamic Republic's defence and security capabilities" as the reason for "the failure of the hegemonic powers" in the region and as a support behind the diplomatic apparatus, not the other way round.
On another occasion, Jafari remarked: "We should not seek dignity in [satisfying our] enemy." He added, "Rejecting bullying and [adhering to] our religious beliefs are elements of power — not the economy and oil."
In another effort by the hardliners to obstruct a compromise with the US, in last week's Friday prayer in Tehran, Ahmad Jannati, the influential cleric who chairs Iran's Guardian Council, said: "The solution to our economic problems is a 'resistance economy', not relationship with America. I don't know why they think that America should provide their food and water."
Zarif's stroll with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Geneva stoked swift opposition amongst conservatives. Ayatollah Ahmad Alamolhoda, the Friday prayer leader in Mashhad, pointed to the walk and said: "The leader allowed negotiations [with America], not friendship."
In a glaring move underscoring Ayatollah Khamenei's pessimism towards the talks and his opposition to Zarif's walk, the website of Iran's leader posted a Zarif-Kerry picture walking in downtown Geneva titled 'Imaginary Points'. It was referencing Khamenei's statement that "I am not against [nuclear] negotiations. They can negotiate as long as they want, but I believe that we should rely on real points of hope, not hollow and imaginary ones."

Huntsman calls Ron Paul "unelectable" because of racist newsletters
A day after new polling that shows Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul with a clear lead over Jon Huntsman in the critical primary state of New Hampshire, the Huntsman campaign has released an aggressive new web ad attacking Paul for publishing racist and homophobic essays.
In the video, titled "Unelectable," the Huntsman campaign focuses on the newsletters published under Paul's name in the 1980s and 1990s, which included controversial comments about African-Americans. Paul has disavowed the newsletters, insisting that he did not write the controversial comments, nor did they represent his beliefs.
Asked earlier this month by CBS News and National Journal if the newsletters were fair game, Paul responded, "I don't know whether fair is the right word."
Fairness doesn't count for much in politics, however. Huntsman has staked his campaign on making a strong showing in New Hampshire, and he may have to siphon off some support from Paul if he wants to claw his way into the top tier. In a CNN poll released Wednesday, Huntsman garnered just 9 percent support in New Hampshire. Mitt Romney took a commanding lead with 44 percent, while Paul came in second with 17 percent support.
Set to ominous music, the Huntsman video shows a montage of news clips about the newsletters before asking, "Can New Hampshire voters really trust Ron Paul?"
As he's gained traction in New Hampshire and Iowa in recent days, Paul has come under fire from nearly all of his GOP rivals, though most of them have focused on Paul's foreign policy views, rather than the newsletters.
"He was a doctor of medicine, and that's what he was doing, practicing medicine," reflects James Williams, the African-American father. "It didn't matter who and what and why."
Revolution PAC is soliciting donations to air a broadcast version of the two-minute video.

Will the Stars Align in Vegas?
On Tuesday, the WNBA released a statement announcing the departure of its San Antonio Stars franchise to a new location: Las Vegas. The Stars, who have not announced whether or not they will be changing their name, will be owned and operated by MGM Resorts International, a Las Vegas based group that owns and operates various casinos/hotels in Las Vegas, such as Mandalay Bay, the MGM Grand, and the Bellagio. The Stars' home arena will be the 12,000-seat Mandalay Bay Events Center (not the T-Mobile Arena, where the newly-created Las Vegas Golden Knights of the NHL play their home games). Bill Laimbeer will be leaving his position as head coach of the New York Liberty to become president and head coach of Las Vegas.
The move will sever the partnership between the Stars and their sister NBA franchise, the San Antonio Spurs. And it puts the Stars in the heart of the pro sports boom that's happening in Vegas. Sin City just acquired the Stars and the Golden Knights, and the Los Angeles Raiders of the NFL are set to move there by 2020. What will this mean in terms of the team's popularity? Having a sister franchise has been a boon to WNBA teams in the past, as it gives them opportunities for cross-promotion, and such teams have historically done a more sustainable job of promoting their franchises. What will the market look like for a WNBA team in Vegas, a market that's getting its first ever professional basketball team?
Las Vegas has never had a professional sports team before this year, so it's tough to say. But we can't really ignore that gambling will be a factor. MGM Resorts International operates many high-end casinos in Vegas, and it would be in their interest to promote gambling on the WNBA; now they have an avenue by which to do it. In fact, the Stars aren't the only team to be owned by a casino: Mohegan Sun owns the Connecticut Sun, who, when they relocated in 2003, changed their name (from the Orlando Miracle) to match up with the branding. The move could even be a stepping stone to Las Vegas acquiring its own sister NBA franchise, and with how quickly the city has been acquiring pro teams, it certainly could be possible.

A CCTV journalist who had been charged with assault in the United Kingdom after flipping out during a conference featuring Hong Kong pro-democracy speakers has now had the case against her dropped.
Government prosecutors said that there was insufficient evidence to convict 48-year-old Kong Linlin, a London-based correspondent of China's official state broadcaster who made a name for herself in September while attending an event in Birmingham titled "The Erosion of Freedom, the Rule of Law and Autonomy in Hong Kong," co-hosted by the UK's Conservative Party Human Rights Commission and the London-based NGO Hong Kong Watch.
As Hong Kong Watch founder Benedict Rogers was speaking on stage, Kong brought the proceedings to a sudden halt by shouting at the top of her lungs, calling the panelists "puppets," "fake Chinese," and "traitors."
When she continued shrieking and refused to leave the event, volunteers and attendees attempted to escort her out. Video shows her making a scene while being restrained, shouting out things like: "You are a puppet!" "Shame on you!" "Leave me alone!" "You have no right!" and "Oh, how democratic UK!"
One volunteer, Enoch Lieu, a Hong Kong-born graduate of Keele University, claims that Kong slapped him in the face twice during the struggle. There has been no video evidence published of either of the face slaps, though footage does show Kong slapping Lieu once in the hand.
In the end, Kong was taken away by police and arrested on suspicion of common assault. She was released without charges 24 hours later, though local police said that their investigation was still ongoing.
Following the bizarre incident, both CCTV and the Chinese embassy in London defended Kong, demanding an apology from the event's organizer and accusing the UK of failing to uphold its promises of freedom of speech.
In October, West Midlands police said that Kong would be ordered to appear at court in Birmingham in November in relation to the charge of common assault, prompting another official outcry. However, after reviewing the evidence, the Crown Prosecution Service made the determination that there was not a realistic prospect of conviction and therefore opted to discontinue the case against Kong.
While a display like the one made by Kong would likely get you fired from most media organizations, this isn't the case for Chinese state media. Some argued that Kong's outburst was not spontaneous, but calculated in order to boost her own career prospects. On social media, Kong quicklycast herself as the victim in the whole ordeal.

The incident suddenly turned the middle-aged state media reporter into a household name in her home country. While some criticized Kong for her lack of professionalism and choppy English, others cheered her on, hailing her as a national hero and proclaiming her a "modern-day Mulan."
Though, at some point during the last month, this heroine turned her Twitter profile private.


text: I'm thrilled to report that I think I've got a nesting pair of Northern Mockingbirds in the back yard. They earn their names by loudly and enthusiastically mimicking other birds, creating the bird version of musical mashups, which they broadcast with vigor. I can hear threads of numerous other bird songs in the male's call, as well as another element: a very clear, distinct "meow! meow! meow!" I'm thinking he's been teasing someone's house cat recently, and listening carefully to the results.

15th September 2017
University of Edinburgh
Co-organised by Heid Jerstad (GCRF postdoctoral fellow) with the Global Environment and Society Academy at the University of Edinburgh.
We know that we have to understand the effects of weather in order to comprehend the (existing and probable) impacts of climate change. This workshop takes one step further and asks: what do we need to do to make weather change and its impacts comprehensible? How do we focus our research knowledge on tangible pathways to find insights/solutions? One way to approach this is to look at successful and less successful examples of how societies have dealt with specific weather problems – staying descriptive while approaching comparison and scaling. Conversations we are having amongst ourselves and within discipline are good, but we also need to engage topically, along the cross-cut of those interested in similar things, but in different ways and using different conceptual and methodological tools. How do we make our critiques matter, and ensure that the right people hear them? The field of work on climate change beyond the social sciences may be relatively recent, but it is very large, and growing. How do we shape our work between STS, policy and ethnographic insights without falling between the cracks (or rifts, as Chakrabarty (2014:3) called them), but nimbly make these into steps we can climb and build on instead?
Please email email@example.com to register for the event.
Themed sessions (there will also be lunch and refreshments between sessions):
Materials – temporality, food storage, clothes. What does weather do to materials?
Rhythms – disasters, fast/gradual change, diurnal-annual-other scales. How is weather rhythmed, and how can this be dealt with practically to fill the gaps opened by climate change?
Knowledge – perceptions of climate change, different registers, religious understandings. How do different ways of knowing weather and climate affect people's relationships, practices and actions?
In the meantime, if you haven't come across the www.weathermatters.nethub, please take a look around and consider joining the conversation.

I recently heard one of the most inspiring speeches in my life about the future of women business owners and entrepreneurs in this country. Jennifer Hyman, creator of the multi-million dollar company, Rent the Runway, shared her amazing entrepreneurial story, as well as some personal issues about sexual harassment she endured along the way to building her fashion leasing empire. She was bright, bold and brave and let none of this stand in her way. She's changing the world for young women, one dress and one initiative at a time. I got goose bumps. For the first time in my 40-plus year career, I thought things are really changing for women.
The very next day my heart sank when Brenda Tate, CEO of the Southwest Florida Women's Foundation shared a new report on "The Status of Women in Florida by County: Employment & Earnings," which gave our state a grade of D+, down from a C- in 2002, and a ranking of 38th in the country when it comes to women's earnings compared to men.
The report was commissioned by the Florida Women's Funding Alliance (FWFA) and produced by the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR). While the full report can be found at https://fundwomenfl.org/research/, here are a few highlights, based on 2016 data, on where Florida and the Southwest Florida region rank in terms of employment and wages:
So, what's up with Florida? While the report outlines a number of policy initiatives that the state could take that would enhance opportunities and wages for women, there may be an easier way.
Maybe Florida businesses and policymakers should simply take a look at the success of Jennifer Hyman and Rent the Runway as a role model. The company has 1,100 employees and 70 percent are women. It has raised more than $190 million in venture capital and now boasts six million overwhelmingly female members who have access to 450 designer brands to rent. Someone's sure betting on women entrepreneurs, workers and consumers!!

March 26, 2018 – (Bonita Springs, Florida)- The Southwest Florida Women's Foundation has received a $50,000 grant from the Southwest Florida Community Foundation which was leveraged into $200,000 through matches to support the Earn to Learn Florida Program, an initiative of the Southwest Florida Women's Foundation. Earn to Learn Florida helps low to moderate income students pursue higher education with little or no student debt. It's a simple formula that combines student savings with financial aid, required financial literacy training and success coaching.
"Our research shows that fewer than 1 in 5 women over age 25 in Southwest Florida have earned a Bachelor's Degree," says Brenda Tate, Southwest Florida Women's Foundation CEO. "That's why we took action to develop and implement Earn to Learn Florida."
Last year the Southwest Florida Women's Foundation helped over 42 low-to-moderate income students, like Yuzellie Garcia, save for their education by matching their savings of $500 at an 8:1 ratio. This created a grant of $4,000 for each student to leverage their $500 investment in themselves. The funds are dispersed directly to their college or university to pay for tuition, books, fees and other related expenses. This helps students graduate with little to no student loan debt. Armed with the knowledge gained from the required Financial Literacy Training Program, students graduate ready for success and empowered to improve their economic mobility.
The use of Earn to Learn Florida accounts, in conjunction with success coaching, has been proven as a way to help individuals and families develop productive financial behaviors that increase the likelihood of finishing college with a degree and less debt, as well as be better prepared for post-college careers.
"Earn to Learn FL has empowered and motivated me to become a successful woman in my community and has motivated me to empower other women who do not think it is possible for them to succeed," says Earn to Learn FL student Yuzellie Garcia.
"When the Southwest Florida Community Foundation learned that our community impact funding could be matched essentially 3 times through this innovative program helping local women through education, we knew that we had to be part," said Sarah Owen, president & CEO of the Southwest Florida Community Foundation. "We believe that by funding together, our region and programs like this will be stronger and more effective."
Improving the status of women in Florida requires enhanced educational opportunities, investments in women's entrepreneurship and steps to narrow the gender wage gap to elevate Southwest Florida women and girls; Visit www.FundWomenFL.org to learn more.

"My Heart Is Broken" is the fourth song on the self-titled album Evanescence. It was released on October 31, 2011 as the second single from their eponymous third studio album. The song was written by Amy Lee, Terry Balsamo, Tim McCord and Zach Williams, while production was handled by Nick Raskulinecz. Musically, My Heart Is Broken is an uptempo ballad that begins with piano and Lee's vocals before transcending into guitars and drums. Lee revealed that the song was written after seeing victims of sex trafficking.</p>The song received favorable reviews from music critics, who praised Lee's vocals accompanied by piano, guitars and drums and chose it as a highlight on the album. The song has reached number 36 on the Austrian Singles Chart. It is also a part of the band's set list on their third worldwide tour in support of Evanescence.
Background and CompositionEdit
"My Heart Is Broken" was written by Amy Lee, Terry Balsamo, Tim McCord and Zach Williams and it was produced by Nick Raskulinecz. The song was recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. During an interview, Amy Lee stated that she originally wrote the song on a harp. She added that the band wrote the song along with "What You Want" and the piano part at the beginning of the song was written on a harp which was a slower and an easier instrument for her. However, during the pre-production of Evanescence the band made the tempo of the song faster so when it was time to record the song it was impossible to play it on a harp. Lee said that the song sounded better with the piano part because it was a stronger and more prominent instrument which made the song "one of the most passionate songs on the whole album". During another interview with rock magazine Kerrang! Lee revealed the inspiration of "My Heart Is Broken" saying: "A good friend of mine heads up an organization in New York that rescues victims of sex trafficking. My husband and I got involved and were really moved and horrified. As I was writing the song I was putting myself in that place - what would it be like to be trapped? Threatened? Alone? Unable to tell anyone what was happening because you're afraid of what would happen?".
The song premiered online prior the official release of the album on September 27, 2011. On August 22, 2011, Lee went to Toronto's Liberty Studios to preview five mastered songs from the new album to a selected crowd of thirty people. "My Heart Is Broken" was one of the five previewed songs. During an interview with MTV News, the band revealed that they wanted the song to be included on the soundtrack to the movie The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. Will Hunt the drummer of the band said, "I've been screaming for [new song] 'My Heart Is Broken' to land in that, because I think it would fit the story so well. I got sucked into the 'Twilight' vortex by the girls at home, so by default, I've got to watch it." However, the song was not included on the soundtrack. During an interview with NME, Lee confirmed that the song will be released as the second single from the album. The song will be sent to pop, hot adult contemporary and Hot/Mod/AC radio stations in the United States on November 1, 2011. It will be also served to mainstream radio stations the same day. The song was made available for digital download on November 14, 2011.
Music video Edit
A music video for "My Heart Is Broken" was released on January 24, 2012 and was directed by Dean Karr. It was shot in Los Angeles, California. The video takes a more surreal direction as opposed to "What You Want", showing off shots of Amy lying in fields of grass under a dark sky or stuck in a dark room. Various effects of light are used to further symbolize the feeling of being trapped from the outside world.
- "We have an air conditioner this time," she laughed. "This [video] is going to look a lot different. Actually, I kind of wanted it to be the opposite. The first video, for 'What You Want,' was very real, and this is very surreal."
Amy playing the piano in the video. To help get that surreal feel, Lee explained that she drew inspiration from a decidedly below-the-radar source: the 1988 British fantasy/horror film "Paperhouse," which stuck with her since she first saw it as a teen. "[It's about] this girl, and everything that she would draw would come to life in her dreams, and she was creating this dream world for herself. And at first, it was cool, but then it's like this nightmare," she explained. "So I sort of thought it would apply, and be cool, to have it be this dream that you're trapped in. So you're in a place that, at first, is a magical world, but at the same time, you're isolated and trapped there, and that's the reason you want to come back to reality after a time. "We're playing with fiber optics, and so it's basically like I'm drawing the world around me from nothingness, and when I draw things with my hands, it's like they actually come to life," she continued. "So it's a lot of fun with creating this surreal dream world, and the guys' performance is sort of like the dream within the dream, in an abyss of darkness; it's very cool.""
- ―Amy Lee
Critical ReceptionEdit
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic chose the song as a highlight on the album. Steve Beebee of rock magazine Kerrang! also chose the song as a highlight on the album, adding that it "develops into a searching, soulful hook, ranging high among the best material this band has ever recorded." Digital Spy's Lewis Corner chose the song as a tracks to consider downloading, further writing that "'My Heart Is Broken' would strongly beg to differ, with a dashing piano riff skittling over growling guitar strums serving as a backdrop for her emotive alto-soprano." Rick Florino of Artistdirect said, "On 'My Heart Is Broken', a gorgeous piano intro rises alongside Lee's vibrant vocal delivery as Will Hunt's airtight drumming propels the tune into another realm." Tom Goodwyn of NME praised "Me Heart Is Broken" saying that it "sounds quite a lot like a Disney ballad, beginning with Amy Lee cooing 'I will wander until the end of time' over a piano line straight off Powers Ballad Vol.12. It gets heavier at the end though, don't worry." Chris Willman of Reuters concluded that the song was "bluntly titled", while The Hollywood Reporter's Sophie Schillaci called it a "gut-wrenching" ballad. Calling the song "fiery", Chad Grischow of the website IGN noted that in "My Heart Is Broken", "Lee's siren-esque vocals shine, [and] the band takes a few interesting chances late in the album." Marc Hirsh of The Boston Globe called the song "a banshee howl of defiant, [and] self-lacerating rage." Billboard magazine's Christa Titus wrote that Lee's voice was "powerful and flexible as ever, as heard in her piercing wails on hit-in-waiting 'My Heart Is Broken'." Serene Dominic of The Arizona Republic wrote, "Really, when your heart is broken, you want a song that's as idea driven as 'My Heart is Broken' to carry you through and that's what she [Lee] delivers."
Chart PerformanceEdit
For the week ending November 25, 2011, "My Heart Is Broken" debuted at number 36 on the Austrian Singles Chart. It also debuted at number 92 on the German Singles Chart on November 28, 2011. On the US Adult Pop Songs, "My Heart Is Broken" debuted at number 40 for the week ending December 4, 2011.
Live PerformancesEdit
Evanescence performed "My Heart Is Broken" live for the first time during the 2011 Rock in Rio festival on October 2, 2011. They later added the song to the set list on their third worldwide tour in support of Evanescence. Sophie Schillaci of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Lee's "high energy and an undeniably fierce vocal style" were best demonstrated during the performance of "My Heart Is Broken".
I will wander till the end of time
I pulled away to face the pain
Over the fear that I will never find a way
My heart is broken
I can't go on living this way
Chained to this fear that I will never find a way
My heart is broken
My heart is broken
My heart is broken
My heart is broken

The Dunbar Residents' Association's website has a photo gallery of ORIGINAL DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE. The above picture, taken by Tom Grant in 2004, is of a house located on the corner of 23rd and Highbury. It sits in the middle of a wide lot, 82x122 feet. Vancouver City Archive records indicate that water service was applied for in 1921. But the house may be older than that because it is a different style than other old ones on the block.
I noticed the house a few years ago because it has an archway of grape vines over the front sidewalk leading to the house, and also because of the many flowering plants in the extensive garden, both inside and outside the fence. The for sale sign in July, the red marks on the sidewalk, and the derelict look of the place portend some trouble for this garden spot.
In late September, there was a woman prowling around the east side of the garden, perhaps rescuing plants, but I respected her privacy and did not take a photo of her.
A few fall crocuses planted years ago have naturalized, now flowering for the last time.
In December and January, a new house was constructed.
But, there's more. Two houses will reside on this double lot, plus two 3-car garages. Very little green space (or even permeable space) remains.
View of the rear of the houses on February 7, with the foundations for the garages:

Permanent magnets in various types of materials, such as neodymium (NdFeB), samarium cobalt (SmCo), ferrite, AlNiCo and plastic-coated magnets are used in many different automotive parts (e.g. door locks, sun roofs, ABS, speakers, windscreen wipers, electric window regulators) making magnets indispensable in our cars. Considering that safety is always the highest priority in this branch, quality is put above all else.
Goudsmit is one of the few European magnet suppliers that is both ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016 certified and capable of conducting internal process audits in accordance with VDA6.3. This, along with advanced measuring equipment, ensures that every aspect of our magnets complies with the applicable quality and safety requirements. Why does the automotive industry require magnet measurements? You can read it here.
Goudsmit also supplies magnets for safe handling of sheet metal in the automotive industry.
Neodymium-Ferro-Boron (rare earth) magnets are delivered by Goudsmit under the brand name Neoflux®. It is the most powerful magnet, with a very high energy product.
Samarium-Cobalt (SmCo) magnets have excellent magnetic characteristics, a low temperature coëfficiënt and high stability.
AlNiCo magnets are made of Aluminium, Nickel and Cobalt. Most AlNiCo magnets are cast. This can take place in complex forms.
Ferrite magnets or ceramic magnets are the most used magnets. The applications of ferrite magnets are very broad.
Plastic bonded neodymium magnets can be manufactured in complex forms by means of pressing or extruding.
Neodymium pot magnets are the strongest pot magnets in our range. Corrosion protection of the product is ensured by a coating of nickel, zinc or santoprene.
Samarium-cobalt (SmCo) pot magnets offer the unique combination of high magnetic force and high operating temperature.
Ultrasonic welding is a means to encapsulate magnets or provide a casing. It is a welding technique in which objects are joined using high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations.
Goudsmit regularly uses adhesives for product assembly. We know exactly how much to use and the best curing process, both of which are essential to ensure the product functions correctly.
Magnets are overmoulded when they must be completely covered for environmental reasons. This is an excellent technique for securely assembling parts.
Injection moulding is usually used to join magnets and plastics without gluing. This is a technically advanced solution that requires precision moulds and magnets. Goudsmit has what it takes.
Press fits and screws are some non-risky methods for assembling magnetic systems. Mechanical assembly is sometimes preferable, because it is easy to test and inspect.
AlNiCo pot magnets have a very high application temperature. The housing is steel, with a non-magnetizable material in between.
Ferrite or ceramic pot magnets are fitted with a steel pot that provides shielding from the magnetic field. The minimal installation height offers many constructive advantages.
Round electromagnets are switchable. They serve for picking up, positioning or holding products.
With the optical 3D scanner the full geometry of an object can be measured, analysed and recorded with perfect accuracy.
Using the permagraph we determine the exact magnetic properties and compare them to the required specifications.
Ideally, the border runs exactly between the north and south poles and perpendicular to the north-south axis. With the 3D fluxmeter we measure the actual angular deviation.

Yep, it's that time again. While there are still some quality boating days left this year, the window of opportunity is going to close. We count the days and none of us gives up easily. Having said that, it's also a time when we must deal with the reality of our short boating season here in the Upper Midwest. It's time to start the process of getting our equipment winterized and put away for what we all hope will be a short winter followed by a glorious and early Spring. For many, it's just a matter of getting on the Marina's schedule for haul-out, winterization, and storage. For many others, it's a process of taking care of the winterization work and determining where a suitable place of storage might be. Let's explore the options, and briefly visit the costs and some of the perils of whichever method you might choose.
Dry Stack
One of the best options and also one of the more costly, is Dry Stack storage. Dry stacking is a form of storage whereby boats are stacked on racks horizontally and vertically in rows, typically in an indoor and usually heated facility. It is a usually a very safe and secure form of storage albeit among the most costly. Dry Stack facilities are most times proximate to water, and require the operator's assistance moving in, out, or at any other time access might be required. The only problem is that while Dry Stack facilities are prevalent along the coasts, they are harder to find in our area. Couple that with high demand and if you don't already have space reserved, you will probably be exploring other options. Dry Stack facilities also won't take your trailer either, so that will need to be stored elsewhere.
Indoor Secure Storage Facilities
There are certainly more options than Dry Stack. The next best option is storage in an indoor facility. Secure Storage Facilities are available in many forms. Many boat dealers, marinas, marine equipment providers, etc., offer storage at or near their businesses where boats may be stored. Ask around the areas where you boat to find the closest options for you given your boating protocols. Because of high demand, there are more and more options popping up from self-storage facilities to old barns and everything in between. Given the value of your investment here, you should pick an option that matches your budget and your desire to protect that investment. Most indoor facilities will take your boat and trailer and secure it in what is usually a heated and clean environment. In almost all, you (or your service provider) could have access to do any winter work that might be required. There are really only a couple of real adversaries to protecting your boat during our winters, water and vermin. Indoor storage eliminates the need to be concerned about water entering the equation so you would be wise to evaluate the building for the possibility of critters moving in. Since access can usually be arranged, a mid-winter visit may be in order to check for rodents. Last but not least of course is to store it in your own garage. Depending on the size of your boat, this may or may not be an option. Yes, you'll always know right where it is–it'll be in your garage taking up space that you would normally be using for something else. It's cheap, but it's not free. The cost will be in sweeping off the snow and scraping the windshield of the car that's been displaced. Let's face it, it's not the way to go.
Outdoor Storage
There are also many options here, including in your driveway. Many boat owners utilize outside storage yards as an approach to solving the winter storage puzzle. Many facilities are fenced and gated to deter trespass and many offer video surveillance. While these facilities typically charge much less than indoor facilities, there are additional costs in preparing and protecting your boat for the winter. First and foremost, your boat will require shrink wrapping to protect it from the elements (water from snow melt) and to keep vermin out. Shrink wrap services are also available in many places but my word to the wise is to hire a professional that has the experience that the job requires. I'd hesitate to hire someone off a homemade, roadside sign for this job–it's just too critical to leave to anyone. Also remember that water creates problems for boats stored outside. Get the plugs out and keep the boat tipped higher in front for easy drainage should any leak happen. Make sure that you have access to the site as you will want to keep show from accumulating on top. Our shrink wrap experts say that anything over about 6" should be removed regularly, and be careful! Tears or punctures in this material will negate its effectiveness. Maybe the only option for you is storing your boat somewhere on your own property. If you have the room great! If your neighbors don't mind looking at it, or your association doesn't have a rule–go for it! Just remember what you're up against–water and vermin. We still recommend professional shrink wrap, it's the best defense. Almost all other types of covering are too abrasive for finishes on your hull or outboard motor. Shrink wrap is also the best defense for rodents and won't flap in the wind. Just remember–don't park it under trees, as limbs fall in winter. Don't park it next to a sloping roof where it will be susceptible to snow and water run-off–and for goodness sake, put a lock on that trailer hitch as well!
Hopefully our winter will be mild and short, it just makes things easier. Follow our advice on storage and your equipment will be ready to go next March. As this is our last issue of 2018, we will wish you all good winter and hope you will stop and see us in January at the Minneapolis Boat Show, January 24th-27th at the Minneapolis Convention Center. We'll be in Booth #1307. See you there!

Edgy Spring
Photos by Nathalie Bize
With spring comes spring cleaning, and since my fiancé and I just moved, I've been doing a lot of it! This dress just happened to be something I found in my closet that I've had for years and years and years, but haven't worn in about that long! While I don't remember exactly where this floral dress was from, I did find a few similar styles that I really like.
- This white high-low dress is super similar, and flattering on almost all body types
- This multi-color floral dress has a corset-like top that is sure to suck you in in all the right places, and would be a great Easter dress
- This metallic sleeveless dress is very in-style this season. Metallics are being seen everywhere from sunglasses to makeup accessories, to purses and more
While my style really evolves depending on my mood, the season and weather, and particular trends I'm feeling more favorable to at the time, I always love a mix of feminine and edgy combined. I think that this outfit is the perfect combination of edgy for spring, with the sharp black details in the dress and black blazer from Harlowe & Graham, in addition to the eye-catching black heels - this is a perfect combination when you're feeling a little daring.
I think that a mix of both feminine and edgy styles will be seen all over this spring and into summer and have been seen both on the runways and red carpets already this season.
What are your favorite spring trends? XOXO

The Peace Corps Ecuador Rock Star
"I still had the rock star experience of everyone wanting to get to know you."
On the 6th episode of the season I interviewed Daniel Zozaya Brown. Daniel is currently a graduate student and Peace Corps Recruiter at the University of Missouri and he talked a lot about how his experience shaped his future career. Listen below or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
Daniel entered Peace Corps in Ecuador in the unique position of already being a native Spanish speaking, and he discussed the major differences in Ecuadorian culture and how he was still perceived as an outsider despite his Mexican heritage. While Daniel was serving he played in 2 bands, one of which started to hit it big while he was a member of the band and ended up on the radio. The conversation ended with Daniel's "Welcome to Peace Corps" moment.

Pontificating about the economy has become so widespread that you may be considered stupid if you don't have an opinion about it. The opinion per se doesn't matter, as long as you have one or a few.
You sit up and take notice when so called experts profess views which contradict, shock & agitate their peers, and sometimes themselves over time.
The recent momentous event, when the US Fed raised interest rates, is a case in point. The move was cautiously welcomed by a well known economist. His peer from the local university vehemently opposed it, saying more easing and lower rates are paramount now, staking his reputation by forecasting the global economy is doomed and a greater recession is on the cards. The quasi-retired nobel laureate, not happy being confined to teaching and researching the dismal science, has to have his say too. He writes an op-ed saying both the previous views are wrong – the fed should neither raise or lower rates, but just sit tight & watch. Many others – journalists, intellectuals, politicians, amateurs, housewives – jump into the fray, writing blogs, articles, columns, throwing kitty parties and so on, to discuss the state of the economy.
Businessmen & fund managers add their own twist to the story, so to speak, taking the debate in directions which benefit them. They add richer color, texture, more characters & sub-plots to the unfolding reality show.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, the europeans who have long copied the Fed moves feel pressurized to follow suit. But some local intellectuals fiercely oppose blind aping of the US and lament the demise of independent thinking in Europe. Many camps with opposing views form as rapidly as the abnormal rise in valuations of the so called unicorns in the start-up world. Europe, being a clutch of countries with varied views despite a a common history, is soon awash in a sea of opinions and views from prime ministers, historians, shoppers, and migrants.
The plot thickens. Newspapers & magazines have a gala time debriefing the lay public with their own versions of the reality show. Plots, sub-plots & characters are analyzed to death.
The rest of the world cannot be far behind. Japan is as confused as it has been for the last few decades. Its been doing the 4 steps forward, 2 steps backward, x steps forward economic dance for sometime. Copying the west, though grudgingly, through policies named in catchy local lingo to protect its proud heritage looks easy. China, of course, cannot be like other countries. Its a behemoth and has to flex it muscles. It continues to do what it does best, navigating its economy in mysterious ways. Most other countries trudge along, casting, re-casting, shuffling and re-hashing views and opinions expressed all over the world.
The press goes berserk. More ammunition, fascinating plots, foreign landscapes, & quirky characters.
Sit back, enjoy the show.

How do you pick the proper snowboard length? The length of your snowboard will vary depending on your body weight as well as the sort of riding you prepare to do. In the past, standard snowboard sizing indicated you stand alongside the snowboard and if the leading hits your chin, excellent, it fits! While that could be a good area to begin, weight is likewise crucial element in determining the ideal board length. And another important consideration is the kind of riding you intend on doing.
For instance, if you are going to be primarily freeriding take into consideration obtaining a somewhat longer board for more security as well as rate. If it's a freestyle snowboard you are searching for, think about smaller dimensions that will be simpler to spin and also navigate in the surface park or half-pipe.
How Big Of A Snowboard Should I Get
On each evo snowboard product information page, you'll discover private size charts for each of the snowboards we sell. Keep in mind, the length is as much personal preference as anything, so do not get also hung up on the recommendations if you ride a longer or shorter board and also are happy with it. Use our Snowboard Dimension Graph listed below for a beginning point:

Furthermore, take into consideration the list below factors when picking a snowboard size:.
If you're riding mainly in the park or freestyle, select a board on the much shorter end of the dimension array.
If you're riding is mainly all mountain, powder or freeriding, think about a snowboard on the longer end of the size array.
If you are above ordinary weight take into consideration a much longer snowboard.
If you are a newbie, go for a shorter board in your dimension range.
Store Snowboards By Length (centimeters).
For sizing children' snowboards, see our Kids' Snowboard Dimension Graph & Purchaser's Overview.
Ability Level.
Just what is your ability degree? There are snowboards designed for each capability level, each resolving particular motorcyclist needs. Flex, form, length, building, materials, design, as well as planned use are very important when crafting a snowboard for a specific capacity degree. Be sensible in assessing your personal capability when investigating and also choosing a new snowboard. Locating the appropriate snowboard for your personal characteristics, including your ability will aid make your riding experience a lot more delightful as well as help speed your progression.
Exactly how do you select the appropriate snowboard width? When a snowboard waist size is sized properly the snowboard boots will hang over the sides of the snowboard just a little however not even to hit the snow when the board gets on edge (see the images below). Expanding the toes and also heels somewhat over the edges of the snowboard allows you to apply leverage to the board and regulate pressure with your ankle joints. If your boots extend as well much over the edge, they'll strike the snow throughout tough turns and also cause you to fall. To figure out the appropriate snowboard waist width for your snowboard boot size see the chart below.

Some boots are particularly built with a low account. The shorter outsoles of a low account boot enable a rider to ride a narrower snowboard. Additionally, the ramp angle on snowboard bindings partially establishes just how large of a boot you could place on a certain snowboard – even more ramp angle suggests a boot will certainly sit greater and also fit on a narrower board.

Riding Style as well as Favorite Terrain.
What sort of snowboard should you ride? While you could ride any snowboard on any type of kind of surface or in any kind of snow problem, there are customized snowboards for details terrain, problems and applications. As an example, it's going to be much more enjoyable to ride a powder board in powder as well as a park board in the park. As well as while it's easy to over evaluate the plethora of offerings offered today, the complying with descriptions will offer you a good feeling of the major board classifications.
All-mountain snowboards are designed to work well in all snow problems and surface. They are at home on groomers, powder, park runs and also almost anything in between. The vast bulk of snowboarders select all-mountain boards for their fantastic adaptability. If you're just getting going or uncertain of specifically just what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great option.
Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length as well as love terrain parks, rails, jibs, garbage cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot ahead), wall flights and more. Freestyle boards often include a real twin form, and are typically chosen by those seeking to ride the surface park. A more flexible version of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the adaptability of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard.
Freeride snowboards are designed for the who invests a lot of the time off groomed runs and also in varied surface. They commonly have a stiffer flex and also are ridden in longer dimensions than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards commonly feature a directional form that is created to perform efficiently in one instructions.
Powder snowboards like powder. Frequently connected with freeride snowboards, powder boards in some cases showcase a larger nose and also a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which establish the 's position, are often held up on a powder snowboard to aid the drift the suggestion of the board with the deep stuff. Powder snowboards often showcase charitable rocker, a design element where the tip (and also tail) surge begins further back on the board, which likewise aids the maintain idea float via the pow.
A splitboard is constructed especially for the backcountry cyclist. Splitboards are made to break down into two separate fifty percents for touring and also uphill traveling (with climbing up skins). Special bindings are called for. Once you've arrived, you reconnect both halves for the trip downhill and also ride generally. Always remember the ideal avalanche safety and security devices as well as skills, expertise of the surface, weather and snow problems (plus climbing skins) when you head out on your splitboard.

Directional Forming.
Typical among freeride as well as all mountain snowboards, directional boards are developed to be ridden predominately in one direction. They are frequently stiffer in the tail and softer towards the nose to assist preserve security while carving at broadband. Normally, the binding inserts are held up (set closer to the tail of the snowboard) in some cases approximately an inch.
Twin Forming.
Twin form (likewise referred to as a true twin) is totally symmetrical with identical pointer and tail measurements as well as flex pattern. Bindings will certainly be mounted in the fixate a twin tip snowboard. Usually found in freestyle snowboards the twin form is perfect for surface parks as a result of the capability to ride in either instructions.
Directional Twin Shape.
A mix of twin as well as directional snowboards, directional twins are a mix of both shapes. A balanced form (similar dimension tip as well as tail) incorporated with a directional core (softer tip than tail) prevails, as is the reverse: a directional shape however symmetrical core. Directional twins are most in your home on all-mountain and freestyle surface.
An expanding variety of snowboards include asymmetrical sidecut accounts, asymmetrical cores, or both. The concept behind asymmetrical shaping is that your body is not in proportion from front to back, so your snowboard should not be either. Boards with shorter heel side as well as longer toe side sidecuts, in addition to softer heel side cores make riding simpler and also much more enjoyable! For more details, see our Asym Snowboard Overview!
Rocker Kind.
Camber is the standard account for snowboards, and also still prominent among top-level park and pipe cyclists since it uses maximum energy and pop. A cambered board has a smooth arch underfoot and also touches near the suggestion as well as tail when unweighted; when the biker's weight is added, it offers a long, uniformly forced running surface area as well as edge.
A rocker snowboard (additionally called reverse-camber) is equally as it seems– camber shook up. The side profile is the opposite of a camber board, with a smooth descending curvature and also less edge call when the board is weighted. Rocker boards float well in powder as well as pivot more quickly underfoot. They likewise have the tendency to be less "hooky" at both suggestion and tail as well as far better for landing spin maneuvers when you don't quite have sufficient rotation.
A level profile is just as you 'd expect– flat from near the idea of the board to near the tail. This shape splits the distinction between camber and also rocker, with even more forgiving turnability than a totally cambered board and also more precise edging capability than a completely rockered one.
Camber, Rocker, and also Flat profiles are integrated in a range of ways to produce a range of rocker profile choices for motorcyclists.
How Big Of A Snowboard Should I Get
Rocker/Camber/Rocker shapes seek to provide you both hard-carving edgehold on company snow from camber underfoot with boosted turnability as well as float in powder from the rockered suggestion and also tail. This profile is significantly preferred for freeride boards designed mostly for soft snow.
Rocker/Flat/Rocker is one more variant on the rocker style that seeks to supply a little much more tough snow edgehold and pop compared to full rocker while keeping ease of turning and float. Performance is between a fully rockered board and also a level board.
Camber/Rocker/Camber is a profile that specifies to snowboards and which works since the rider's weight squashes the 2 cambered locations. This design creates a solid, pressured sculpting area in between the cyclist's feet and maintains pop as well as sculpting precision at the suggestion as well as tail.
Other mixes of board accounts include Rocker/Camber Snowboards as well as Rocker/Camber/Rocker/ Camber/Rocker Snowboards. Moreover, brand names are constantly developing and also explore brand-new rocker offerings. Camber leading accounts have ended up being progressively prominent of late. We have actually done our finest to earn sense of all these different mixes, however remember different brand names will incorporate the above accounts in several methods.
Just what is much better? The response: nobody profile beats the other as well as it really comes down to your individual preferences. Usually, camber uses far better edge hold and also security on difficult pack and at high speeds while rocker supplies more float in the powder and catch-free edges for terrain park riding. Rockered snowboards can be great for beginners since they assist in much easier turn initiation. Advanced cyclists who like a loosened feel could likewise enjoy riding a rockered board. Inspect out our Rocker Overview for more details concerning rocker and its benefits.

Snowboard Flex.
The amount a snowboard bends differs dramatically between boards. Snowboard flex scores are not always standard throughout the market, so a "tool" flex might vary from brand name to brand name. Many manufacturers will provide a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest as well as 10 being stiffest. Right here at evo we have standardized the makers' number rankings as a feeling score ranging from soft to very tight. Typically we classify flex scores of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as rigid, and also 9-10 as extremely stiff. Flex scores and also really feel could inevitably vary from snowboard to snowboard.
Softer Flex.
Softer bending snowboards (commonly freestyle and some all mountain snowboards) are going to be more forgiving and also less complicated to turn. A soft flex is good for beginners, riders with reduced body weights as well as park motorcyclists. Soft snowboards have the tendency to be a bit looser at higher rates yet could additionally supply a soft buttery feeling at slower rates.
Stiffer Flex.
Stiffer bending snowboards are generally built for freeride or backcountry use. They give much better edge hold as well as are more stable at broadband. Stiff boards could be fantastic for cyclists putting down broadband turns yet hard for light-weight motorcyclists to bend properly.
Transforming Capacity.
Snowboards make various sized turns based on their sidecut span, midsection size as well as rocker.
Sidecut Radius.
Sidecut radius is the distance your board would produce if the contour of the edge was extended out into a total circle. Smaller numbers for sidecut distance indicate a smaller circle. Visualize a smaller circle vs. a larger circle and also laying your snowboard on edge to reverse that circle.
Waistline Distance.
The waist size is the width of the snowboard at its narrowest factor. It is generally measured in millimeters. Narrow waistline widths could be rolled from edge to edge faster compared to wider snowboards. Snowboards are designed to be ridden with your toes and heels very close to the edge of the board and midsection width ought to match roughly with boot size.
Rocker in the idea as well as tail of your snowboard makes it simpler to transform. Often it is referred to as catch-free rocker due to the fact that there is much less of the snowboard edge to capture as you turn the board.
Waist width, sidecut span and also rocker are listed in the specs for each and every snowboard we market. Right here is an example:.
Snowboard Hole Patterns and also Compatibility.
There are four various snowboard hole patterns that you will discover on conventional snowboards. The patterns include: 4×4, 2×4, Burton 3D as well as Burton Channel. 3D and also Channel modern technology are particular to Burton Snowboards, although some board makers have begun liscencing Channel technology from Burton. 2×4 is a variation of 4×4 that gives the motorcyclist extra mounting alternatives.

4×4 Insert Pattern.
Burton 3D Insert Pattern.

* Essential note: Several Burton snowboards include a Channel design. Burton bindings developed for The Channel are described as Burton EST bindings. Most non-Burton bindings will require unique hardware to be made use of on snowboards with The Channel.

Women's Snowboards.
For several years snowboard companies merely sized down men's snowboards and also applied pretty pink graphics featuring flowers and animals to them. Not anymore! Firms have actually created women-specific focus teams, intensified their females's pro teams as well as developed snowboards especially for women based upon their comments. Women's bodies and turn technicians are different compared to males. Since females have the tendency to have less body mass and also smaller sized feet compared to males of the exact same elevation, ladies's snowboards have the tendency to have narrower waistline sizes, thinner accounts as well as softer flexes.
Children' Snowboards.
As long as you want to purchase a snowboard your kid could become, it is crucial to find a snowboard that will function for them currently. Do you desire your youngster to enjoy the sporting activity? We thought so. The right dimension snowboard will certainly assist your child development quicker and have a lot more enjoyable in the process. Children' snowboards are usually softer compared to grown-up snowboards making it much easier for children to start turns and learn how to ride.
Kids' Snowboard Dimension Graph.
Rider Weight (pounds) Length (cm).
Toughness as well as Cost Range.
Price is often a consideration when buying. Information like the kind of wood made use of in the core, kind of laminates made use of in the layup, high quality of base material and sides, and also how all these elements are assembled in a board affect both its flight and also resilience. Quality materials and also advanced design price money. If you prepare to ride your snowboard for multiple periods or ride several days in a year, investing a little more for top quality and sturdiness is probably worth it.
Snowboard Terms Glossary.
Camber/Rocker Type.
Camber and also rocker refer to the account as well as curvature of the snowboard. See our Rocker Guide for more details.
Core Material.
This is the product that comprises the middle of your snowboard. Typically, core material is timber or a combination of different kinds of timber. Foam and particular various other materials can also be found in snowboard cores.
Effective Edge.
The edge length of the snowboard that really reaches the snow when the board is on edge is referred to as the effective edge. The effective edge is shorter than the snowboard length. A much longer effective edge will certainly add security and a much shorter effective edge makes your snowboard feel looser and easier to transform.
Extruded Base.
Extruded snowboard bases are made from polyethylene (often called P-Tex). The term extruded refers to the process of heating and also forming the material right into sheets in the production procedure. Extruded P-Tex is relatively low-cost. These bases do not hold wax as well as sintered bases, as well as so they can be slower compared to a well-tuned sintered base. Nevertheless, an extruded base can execute much better than an unwaxed sintered base and also are extremely long lasting.
Magne-Traction .
Magne-Traction ퟀ�"ퟀ� is a proprietary, serrated edge modern technology created by Mervin Manufacturing and found on Lib Tech, GNU as well as Roxy snowboards. Serrated edges are made to reduce right into the snow like a knife and also give you even more edge hold and also control than non-serrated sides.
Sidecut Radius.
Sidecut radius is the distance your board would create if the edge was prolonged out right into a total circle. Smaller sized sidecut spans suggest a board that will naturally make smaller sized, much shorter span turns; larger spans suggest a board that will normally make larger span turns at higher rates.
Sintered Base.
Sintered snowboard bases are developed for super-fast glide. Like extruded bases, sintered bases are made from polyethylene (P-Tex). But unlike extruded bases, sintered bases are generated by compressing little pellets of polyethylene instead of melting as well as pressing it out in a sheet. Sintered bases are very porous and also soak up wax well.
How Big Of A Snowboard Should I Get
When waxed as well as preserved properly, they are much faster than extruded bases. Frequently extra products such as Gallium, graphite or Indium are included in the bases to supply enhanced influence resistance, resilience and slide. Sintered bases are usually a lot more pricey as well as can be harder to repair than extruded bases.
Tail Size.
The tail width is the snowboard dimension at the widest factor of the tail.
Idea Size.
The idea size is the snowboard dimension at the widest point of the pointer.
Waist Width.
The midsection width is the length of the snowboard at its narrowest factor. Snowboard sizes – tail, tip as well as waistline – are typically gauged in millimeters buy snowboard}

|Drumshell - Shell Sizes
Drumshell Sizes
The size of a shell is measured in diameter by depth. A 14 inch snare, with a depth of 5 and 1/2 inches would be notated as: 14x5-1/2 (5.5). A 12 inch tom that is 10 inches deep would be: 12x10. (Some companies reverse this notation, but we won't raise a fuss.)We all know that the bigger the diameter of a drum, the deeper it will sound. For example: a 16 inch floor tom sounds much lower than a 12 inch tom. The depth of the shell also affects the tone, as well. The deeper the shell, the lower the sound and vice versa. But the depth effects more than the tone of a drum. A deeper drum will also be louder and therefore project more. A shallow drum won't project as well, but it will have better resonance and a purer tone. This is why power toms became so popular in the 70's, for rock music-- projection and low end thud. This is also why smaller drums are so popular with jazz music-- cleaner, fundamental tones.
