7 Tips on How to Fall on Shallow Reefs

Here is everything you should know about surfing after it rains:
Nearly every surfer has experienced the sensation: pinned to the ocean bottom, trying to swim for the surface, desperate for a few quick gasps of air to avoid what might happen if they don't. Water swirling; surroundings dark; up is down, down becomes up. It's a scary moment and therefore, a tough time to stay composed – even the pros say so.
Is surfing something you've always wanted to try, but you weren't too sure you'd be good at it? Or maybe you were afraid you would fail? Don't worry, we've got your back, future surfer!
sometimes that just isn't in the cards. Here's to growing from shitty circumstances.
The Everyday Surfer Problems series by Jez Browning of UniSURFity aims to make you a better surfer. And let's face it, pretty much everyone wants to improve their surfing. That's why you're here in the first place. Looking for the best waves in your area, or where to go on a surf trip. Maybe you're looking at new kit: fins, a board to go faster, get vertical, or make more sections. And yes equipment is important, good waves are important, but technique is everything.
Surfing, in the grand scheme of things, is not important. It is not something that should take away from anything else in your life. In fact, if it is done correctly, it should add to everything else in your life.
If you're planning a surf trip, you'll need to be at a half decent level of fitness if you're going to make the most of it. Surfing is a fairly strenuous endurance activity, particularly if you're aiming at being in the water for more than two hours a day. For week long trips or more, you'll need to do some fitness work unless you're already in good shape.
When surfers are young, with flexible bodies and joints that don't yet ache, it is easy to ignore the potential for injury that our favorite pastime holds. But after a decade or two in the water —after millions of paddle repetitions and thousands of torqueing maneuvers, not to mention an untold number of wipeouts — our bodies inevitably become unbalanced and start to break down, and those knees, shoulders, backs and ankles that once felt invincible begin to betray us.
Flummoxed at the way folk like Shawn Briley manage to get pitted at places like Pipe in spite of their 'physique'? Well, it's lead many a tube hunter to believe that mastering under-the-lip take-offs is all about technique. There is no wave too steep, only flawed lines of attack. Here former Pipeline semi-finalist turned surf coach Didier Piter offers a couple guidelines to bear in mind next time you're throwing yourself over the ledge!


text: BUSINESS 'Bionic,' 'Private' come out swinging Wed. 5:00 AM PDT 9/28/2007 by Paul J. Gough , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty NEW YORK -- The fall season shifted into high gear Wednesday with the first heated showdown between NBC's "Bionic Woman" and ABC's "Private Practice." NBC's sci-fi drama prevailed in the coveted 18-49 demo, but ABC won the night overall, noticeably in total viewers and by a slim margin in the demo.After lackluster freshman premieres so far, Wednesday produced three strong launches -- "Bionic," "Practice" and NBC's "Life," which to date rank as the top three new series among adults 18-49. Word wasn't that good for another new ABC drama, "Dirty Sexy Money," which got off to a slow start. Despite NBC's dominating performance from 9-11 p.m. with "Bionic" and "Life," the Alphabet edged the Peacock by a tenth of a point to take its second nightly victory in the first three nights of the new TV season among the 18-49 demo. The network was bolstered by the third consecutive night of "Dancing With the Stars."CBS' "Kid Nation" (7.6 million viewers, 2.8 rating/8 share in adults 18-49) and Fox's "Back to You" (7.5 million, 2.8/9) both showed declines from last week's premieres (9.4 million, 3.1/9 and 9.5 million, 3.2/10, respectively), bowing to ABC's "Dancing" (16.8 million, 4.1/12). "Dancing" was about even with fall 2006's results show, while "Kid" was up week-to-week in adults 18-34.The 9 p.m. showdown between "Bionic Woman" and ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" spinoff -- along with the established "Criminal Minds" -- was won by "Bionic" (13.9 million, 5.7/14), which grew exponentially from its "Deal or No Deal" lead-in (8.9 million, 2.6/8) and logged NBC's best numbers for an NBC Wednesday series premiere since "The West Wing" in 1999. "Practice" (14.4 million, 5.2/13) also did well, losing more than a million viewers in the half-hour but holding steady in adults 18-49. The season premiere of CBS' "Minds" (12.7 million, 3.5/9), with the last episode prominently featuring departing star Mandy Patinkin, couldn't keep up, slipping from last year's premiere by 22% in 18-49; neither could the second episode of Fox's "Kitchen Nightmares" (5.4 million, 2.5/6), which fell from last week (6.6 million, 3.1/8) against all-original competition.NBC stayed in the game at 10 p.m. with a win for "Life" (9.9 million, 4.0/11). The Damian Lewis police drama won in the demo against ABC's "Dirty" (10.4 million, 3.6/10) and the season premiere of CBS' "CSI: NY" (12.7 million, 3.7/10), which was down 26% among 18-49 from last season's premiere."Dirty" was down 34% compared with last season's premiere of "Lost" in the same time period and down 22% from the Oct. 4, 2006, premiere of the short-lived "The Nine."The CW's "America's Next Top Model" (4.8 million, 2.4/7) hung tough at 8 p.m. and posted a 7% gain in adults 18-34 versus last week's season premiere, but the new drama "Gossip Girl" (2.5 million, 1.1/3) took a hit in its second outing at 9 p.m.ABC (13.9 million, 4.3/11) won Wednesday's primetime in both viewership and adults 18-49, the latter just a shade higher than NBC (11 million, 4.1/11), which was followed by CBS (11 million, 3.3/9), Fox (6.1 million, 2.5/7) and the CW (3.7 million, 1.8/5).

The BMW M1 Hommage blends a wide, aggressive stance with intentionally retro/modern twists on the key visual elements that defined Paul Bracq's original BMW Turbo concept and the Giugiaro-designed M1
There appears to be no interior, and BMW doesn't even bother mentioning specific powertrain possibilities. The M1 Hommage is strictly a design exercise meant to celebrate an icon, but it also reminds us that Munich can do the supercar thing, too. Maybe one day it will again.

I had an abortion close to five months ago. When I found out that I was pregnant I was four months and two weeks along. It was the hardest thing to hear the nurse say. I was dead set on having it when I heard her say that, until I talked to my boyfriend who, at first, was completely for whatever I wanted. Then he started to think about things and realized things were going to change completely. He convinced me to have the abortion, and it was the most difficult thing I could ever go through.
I still feel like a horrible person for it. All I think about is my baby and how I would be three weeks away from seeing his/her face. I wish I could go back and change things. I thought no one would find out, but somehow they did. I was the talk of the school.
I cried for long hours and did not sleep because I wanted my baby, and I wanted my boyfriend too. He didn't want the baby, so I did it for him, but he left me the day of the abortion. So think for you and what you want. That is all that will make you happy.

This summer, Abercrombie & Fitch will begin including advertisements from other companies such as SoBe, Sony, Trek, and the WB withing the pages of its magalog, the A&F Quarterly. The magalog, which includes original editorial as well as photographs depicting A&F clothing, has a circulation of about 200,000. A&F also publishes a traditional catalog without articles or the controversial photography of Bruce Weber -- the ads will not appear in the catalog.

4.1 Option 1:RFOUT ATPC
4.2 Option 2:RFIN ATPC (Ideal for the SC1894)
4.3 Option 3:RFIN/RFOUT ATPC (Recommended)
4.4 Smooth Adaption Mode
Figure 1. Simplified microwave application system block diagram using the SC1894.
Figure 2. ATPC Power Ramp Sequence when SC1894 is active in Track Mode.
Figure 3. Power Ramp Sequence when SC1894 correction is frozen at max power.
This document is an introduction to linearizing a microwave transmission-system PA using Maxim's SC1894 RF PA Linearizer (RFPAL) from 4GHz to 80GHz. It includes basic system design considerations to implement a linearized microwave amplifier and the effects of automatic transmit power control (ATPC) on the SC1894 performance.
Digital microwave transmission systems require low bit-error rates (BER) and must not transmit excessive adjacent-channel power (ACP), which would interfere with other wireless services. With respect to transmitter signal fidelity, BER is directly affected by the modulated-waveform error-vector magnitude (EVM). Reducing the modulated-waveform EVM is a primary goal in all transmitter design and the final stage power amplifier (PA) can degrade the EVM when operating near maximum power creating intermodulation products (IMD). These IMD products are the dominant components of ACP. A traditional solution to avoid the IMD problem is to back off (reduce) the power until the IMD distortion is at an acceptable level. Using backoff results in an inefficient transmitter design and, depending on the waveform, one cannot achieve the desired linearity specification regardless of how far the PA is backed off.
Maxim's SC1894 can improve the PA linearity and minimize EVM, IMD, and ACP levels without sacrificing the PA output power. Furthermore, predistortion linearization allows a PA to operate at significantly higher efficiency compared to another PA operating in backoff with similar output power levels. In the case of GaN devices that can be inherently nonlinear, predistortion is often the only available method to achieve the required EVM and ACP levels. By enabling operation at maximum PA output power while minimizing EVM and ACP, the SC1894 devices provide the system with lower BER, better efficiency, and lower system and operating costs.
IMPORTANT: In order to achieve optimal performance, refer to [4] in the References table.1.2 References
|ETSI 302 217-1 V1.3.1 (2010-01) regarding Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC)
|SC1894 data sheet
Microwave point-to-point manufacturers have products that cover many frequency ranges from 4GHz to 80GHz. These radios transmit a fully occupied single carrier with an instantaneous signal bandwidth ranging from 3.5MHz to 112MHz. Modulation modes vary from BPSK to 1024QAM and peak-to-average ratios (PAR) of 4dB to 8dB. As the signal bandwidth and modulation complexity increase, so does the need for predistortion in order to meet system linearity requirements. The system output power is typically controlled through lookup tables calibrated at the OEM factory. The power-control lookup table is used to control the various VGA gains in a desired sequence. These lookup tables are then used to set the antenna output power at each operating frequency, temperature, and power level. Transmit output power is typically operated over a 25dB power range.2.1 System Block Diagram
To use the SC1894 in microwave systems operating at frequencies greater than 3.8GHz, the SC1894 must be placed in the IF section of the transmitter as shown in Figure 1. (Typical microwave systems operate using an IF at frequencies between 350MHz to 3.5GHz.)
Figure 1. Simplified microwave application system block diagram using the SC1894.
The application represented in Figure 1 can be adapted to many different transmitter configurations having different output powers, gains and frequencies. Due to the many variations possible, the exact implementation of ALC1, ALC2, and ALC4 is left to the discretion of the system designer. These functions can be implemented as either fixed or variable gain amplifiers/attenuators. The main requirement is that the elements in the up-conversion and feedback down-conversion paths do not significantly contribute to the overall distortion of the system so that the SC1894 only compensates PA-related nonlinearity.
System-level Linearity Guidelines:
Component-level description and guidelines:
All system power changes are sensed at the RFFB input.
All filters should have flat gain and group delay over the total IMD frequency range. Gain or group delay variation increases memory2 effects; thus, reducing correction. The SC1894 injects an "inverse IMD" correction signal into the output PA and this signal should be passed through the up-conversion chain with little or no distortion. Likewise, the SC1894 measures the PA IMD using the down conversion path and any distortion on this path reduces the accuracy of this IMD measurement.
Point-to-point microwave link propagation losses are nominally low by design, with the radio operating at an output level well below maximum power. This is by regulatory requirement to reduce interference while still maintaining the needed SNR or BER level for transmission integrity. However, operating the link with just enough power to maintain good BER makes the system vulnerable to fading conditions such as heavy rain and multipath. When a fading condition is detected, ATPC compensates for the fading condition by increasing the PA power up to 100dB/s in order to maintain the SNR/BER rate required by the system.
IMD is a function of PA power. As the power increases, the predistortion system must track or adjust to the new operating point as fast as possible. The rate of power change and the location of gain change are the key parameters driving special processing by the SC1894. See Figure 2 and Figure 3 for an overview of the ATPC power-ramp sequences.
To accommodate ATPC power-level changes when the PA is actively linearized, Maxim developed specialized firmware (FW) that allows the SC1894 to better correct ACP during and after PA power changes. In optimized (default) mode, any change of the power level into RFFB initiates a full recalibration of the internal SC1894 gain settings. Maxim has developed a fixed gain mode called "smooth adaptation" mode. In this mode, there is no recalibration of SC1894 internal gain when the power is changed.
For this discussion, the two locations in a microwave transmission system where RF power changes can occur are before and after the SC1894. When the RF power changes before the SC1894 RFIN port, we call this "RFIN ATPC". When power changes after the RFOUT port, we term this; "RFOUT ATPC."
Both RFOUT ATPC and RFIN ATPC require the use of smooth adaptation mode.
Refer to [5] and [7] in the References table for further details on ATPC implementation with SC1894.4.1 Option 1: RFOUT ATPC
With RFOUT ATPC, the PA power is changed using ALC2 and ALC4 (see Figure 1). Changing PA power with ALC2 and ALC4 also changes the predistortion signal from the SC1894, requiring new correction settings to be calculated and incurring a delay in adjusting to the new power level. To avoid recalculating correction with every power-level change, Maxim has developed FW that performs a look up table (LUT) function using factory-trained correction coefficients. The FW also continuously saves the best correction settings at each power level as it operates in the field, updating the LUT with these settings.
Best solution for system signal to noise ratio, but not the best for dynamic behavior.4.2 Option 2: RFIN ATPC (Ideal For the SC1894)
Smooth adaptation mode allows the SC1894 to continue uninterrupted ACP correction, but only when power is changed before RFIN using ALC1. Using RFIN ATPC and Smooth Adaptation mode, the RF input power to the SC1894 tracks the PA input power, dB-for-dB. Likewise, the SC1894 correction signals (generated from RFIN using Volterra series coefficient multiplication) tracks the PA IMD levels almost exactly. This feature greatly improves the dynamic power performance of the SC1894 predistortion. An LUT is also implemented with RFIN ATPC, but the variations of correction coefficients (for the Volterra series) are very small and the performance of RFIN ATPC with either the LUT or frozen coefficients at maximum PA power is almost the same.
(Performance of RFIN ATPC with standard wireless FW when coefficients are frozen at maximum power is very similar. However, reading and writing an LUT is not available with this FW so the ATPC FW is a better choice when an LUT function is required.)
With the SC1894 smooth adaptation mode, RFIN ATPC power changes using ALC1 before RFIN providing the best dynamic behavior, but not ideal for system signal-to-noise ratio.
Figure 2. ATPC Power Ramp Sequence when SC1894 is active in TRACK mode.
Figure 3. Power Ramp Sequence when SC1894 correction is frozen at max power.4.3 Option 3: RFIN/RFOUT ATPC (Recommended)
Since a power amplifier is able to meet most linearity requirements when operated in backoff, in general, only about the top 3dB to 6dB of the PA power range requires predistortion. Below this point, the SC1894 correction can be frozen until the power returns to this range. ALC1 is used for at least the first 3dB to 6dB of PA backoff from maximum power. Thereafter, ALC2 and ALC4 can be used if adaptation is frozen.
Option 3 allows the microwave system architect to allocate the ATPC gain reduction to different parts of the system to maintain the minimum required system signal-to-noise ratio and achieve best dynamic range performance.4.4 Smooth Adaptation Mode
Smooth mode is enabled by factory calibrating the SC1894 when the system is operating at maximum RMS power and maximum PEP.
Refer to [6] in the References table, the SC1894 SPI programming guide, for details on smooth-mode calibration.
Often, a standby system is deployed in parallel to the main system. The standby system PA is therefore inactive for long periods of time, but can be driven to PMAX at any time. The same FW used to perform the LUT function for ATPC can be used for this case to accelerate convergence time of the backup PA by properly seeding the coefficients before enabling adaptation. Any LUT must have frequency, modulation, power, and temperature as indices.Footnotes

Functional Medicine – Testimonial
These sort of emails make me very happy:
"Hi Filipa, Great news, I'm feeling better…incredibly so! Honestly I'm shocked that my system has started the process of healing, and the effect has been literally instantaneous. I feel good, clear and sure of myself again! Thank you!"
I am a total believer in what I am doing in Nutritional & Functional Medicine, but sometimes you get someone who seems so broken in all body systems, that you wonder if you can really help.
This wonderful message is a testament that with some specific lab testing, a targeted treatment plan based on scientific results, as well as lots of energetic encouragement and hope, the body can heal – and sometimes, even, instantaneously!

Isaiah 9:1 Even like as in tyme past it hath bene well sene, that ye londe of Zabulon and the londe of Nepthali (where thorow the see waye goeth ouer Iordane in to the londe of Galilee) was at the first in litle trouble, but afterward sore vexed. Isaiah 9:2 Neuertheles ye people that haue dwelt in darcknesse, shal se a greate light. As for them that dwel in the londe of the shadowe of death, vpon them shal the light shyne. Isaiah 9:3 Shalt thou multiplie the people, and not increase the ioye also? They shal reioyse before the euen as men make mery in haruest, and as men that haue gotten the victory, when they deale the spoyle. Isaiah 9:4 For thou shalt breake the yocke of the peoples burthen: the staff of hys shulder, and the rod of his oppressoure, as in ye daye at Madia. Isaiah 9:5 Morouer all temerarious and sedicious power (yee where there is but a cote fyled wt bloude) shalbe burnt, and fede the fyre. Isaiah 9:6 For vnto us a childe shalbe borne, and vnto us a sonne shalbe geue. Vpo his shulder shal the kyngdome lye, and he shalbe called wt his owne name: The woderous geuer of councel, the mightie God, the euerlastinge father, the prynce of peace, Isaiah 9:7 he shal make no ende to encrease the kyngdome and peace, and shal syt vpon the seate of Dauid and in his kyngdome, to set vp the same, to stablish it with equyte and rightuousnesse, from thence forth for euermore. This shal the gelousy of the LORDE of hoostes bringe to passe.
Isaiah 9:8 The LORDE sent a worde in to Iacob, the same is come in to Israel. Isaiah 9:9 All the people also of Ephraim, and they that dwel in Samaria, can saye with pryde and hie stomackes, on this maner: Isaiah 9:10 The tyle worcke is fallen downe, but we will buylde it with harder stones. The Molbery tymbre ys broken, but we shal set it vp agayne with Cedre. Isaiah 9:11 Neuertheles, the LORDE shal prepare Rezin the enemie agaynst the, and so ordre their aduersaries, Isaiah 9:12 that ye Sirians shal laye holde vpon them before, and the Philistynes behynde, and so deuoure Israel with open mouth. After all this, the wrath of the LORDE shal not ceasse, but yet his hande shable stretched out still.
Isaiah 9:13 For the people turneth not vnto him, that chastiseth them, nether do they seke the LORDE of hoostes. Isaiah 9:14 Therfore the LORDE shal rote out of Israel both heade and tale, braunch and twygge in one daye. Isaiah 9:15 By the heade, is vnderstonde the Senatoure and honorable man, and by ye tale, the prophet that preacheth lyes. Isaiah 9:16 For all they which enfourme the people that they be in a right case, soch be disceauers. Soch as men thynke also to be perfecte amonge these, are but cast awaye. Isaiah 9:17 Therfore shal the LORDE haue no pleasure in their yonge me, nether fauoure their fatherlesse and wydowes. For thei are altogether ypocrites and wicked, and all their mouthes speake foly. After all this shal not the LORDEs wrath ceasse, but yet his honde shalbe stretched out still.
Isaiah 9:18 For the vngodly burne, as a fyre in the bryers and thornes: And as it were out of a fyre in a wod or a redebush, so ascendeth the smoke of their pryde. Isaiah 9:19 For this cause shal ye wrath of the LORDE of hoostes fall vpon the londe, and the people shalbe consumed, as it were with fyre, no man shal spare his brother. Isaiah 9:20 Yf a man do turne him to the right honde, he shal famesh, or to the lefte hande to eat, he shal not haue ynough. Euery man shal eate the flesh of his owne arme: Isaiah 9:21 Manasses shal eate Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasses, and they both shal eate Iuda. After all this shal not the LORDES wrath ceasse, but yet shal his honde be stretched out still.

12/oz 6 Pack - Purple Haze is a lager brewed with real raspberries added after filtration. It is brewed with pilsner and wheat malts and Vanguard hops. The berries add a fruity aroma, tartly sweet taste and a subtle purple color and haze... you may see fruit pulp in the beer.
This beer is best served with salads or light fruit desserts, such as soufflés or chiffon cakes. Many people enjoy it with chocolate desserts. Purple Haze pairs well with certain cheeses, such as ripened Brie or any dessert made with mascarpone. It's also great paired with entrees prepared with fruit, especially citrus. Consider enjoying Purple Haze® alone at the end of your meal as dessert.
Founded in 1986, the Abita Brewing Company is nestled in the piney woods 30 miles north of New Orleans. In its first year, the brewery produced 1,500 barrels of beer. We had no idea what we started. Customers loved our beer! By 1994, we outgrew the original site (now our 100-seat brew pub) and moved up the road to a larger facility to keep up with demand.
We brew over 125,000 barrels of beer and 8,000 barrels of root beer in our state-of-the-art brewing facility. Our lagers and ales are brewed in small batches, hand-crafted by a team of dedicated workers with only the highest ideals of quality. This pride, along with our brewing process, is what creates our great brews. We are privately owned and operated by local shareholders, many who have been with us since day one

Bridgestone Guide 2012
OOTB is a shack. Actually it's the shack of your dreams, a little temple of seafood and a Dingle archetype.
Jean-Marie Vaireaux will be once again heading up the kitchen team in Tim Mason's outstanding flsh restaurant, Out of the Blue. Valerie O'Connor ate here on her Kerry tour during the height of the season. 'It was amazing!', said Valerie, but then that is what everyone says about OOTB, an operation that is as smart as Fishy Fishy in Kinsale and as funky as Harry's in Donegal.
Virtually everything M. Vaireaux and his crew cook is now an OOTB classic - the pollock with potato crust; the langoustines with Pastis; the halibut with langoustine bisque; the Blasket Island scallops with beurre blanc; the char-grilled monkfish with saffron sauce. Fish cookery doesn't come any better, and OOTB's secret is to manage to be didactic and doctrinaire - they only serve fresh fish, and if there is no fresh fish they don't open - but to do this in the most relaxed, logical way imaginable. That is quite a trick, but Mr Mason pulls it off with ease, and he is a masterly restaurateur, a patron with that old-style class that you used to find when guys like Peter Langan were still around. OOTB is a class act, a Dingle classic, and an Irish classic.

Mosquitoes buzzing around in your yard can be more than a nuisance; mosquito bites can cause painful itching and can even transmit diseases. Mosquitoes need water in which to lay their eggs and complete their life cycle, so control begins with prevention by water removal. Additionally, applying mosquito larvicides and insecticides to your yard may be beneficial in situations where it is not practical to remove breeding sites.
Remove all items in your yard that may collect wate,r to prevent mosquitoes from breeding and multiplying. Water may collect in unused buckets, old tires, bird baths and even some plants such as bromeliads, so check your lawn thoroughly for these potential breeding grounds.
Pour out standing water that collects in objects you cannot remove, such as the tarp over a motor vehicle, flower pots or lawn decorations. Check these items after rainfall and keep them dry with vigilance.
Repair leaking sprinklers, faucets or air conditioners that may cause puddles. Clean debris from rain gutters and change the water in bird baths at least once a week to prevent mosquito larvae from growing.
Remove tall weeds and overgrowth from your yard. Mosquitoes often rest in protected areas during the day, and dense vegetation can cause an influx of mosquitoes.
Plant marigolds around your yard, such as the French marigold (Tagetes patula), which grows in all U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones. Marigolds act as a natural bug repellent because they emit a smell that moquitoes don't like.
Install pheromone-based mosquito traps around your yard. These are both safe and nontoxic and are commercially available.
Burn natural citronella torches and candles to repel mosquitoes from the immediate area; they are nontoxic and their smoke can help control mosquitoes.
Light your grill and toss a pinch of rosemary or sage on the coals to repel mosquitoes.
Add the bacterial strain bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis to standing water in places like ponds, ditches and stormwater retention areas to kill mosquito larvae. This is one of the least-toxic biological controls and has a relatively minimal impact on non-target organisms. You can buy bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis from your local lawn and garden store or hardware store.

Have you ever experienced a day when you intently wait for something to happen—which is supposed to happen—only to realize the happening go nowhere out of sight, gone into oblivion? I just did.
This may be one of the most mundane thing to "wait for something" in this era of extensive logical thinking but what I had just waited a while ago was for my stitch (in my recently operated wisdom tooth, as if it matters, euch) to be removed, only to discover that the thread was not already there. Gone. I am sure it's there in the bowels of my being.
Argh. I've waited for about an hour in the clinic just for my dentist to recommend this in a two-minute talk: "Oh, the thread is gone. And gargle it up with Bactidol at home, okay?"
And so that was it. Now I have doubts on what Lyde had quoted from my very own short story I let him read last week through text messaging:
"Waiting is never a stressful task nor is unproductive, as long as you are
willing to accept the end as it is, good or bad. Waiting is rewarding."
-Waiting Days and Story Nights
Argh. That silly thread!

Part 1: Best Essential Oil Brands | Reviews 2016
It is just as important to find the best essential oils as it is to find the best essential oil diffuser.
You must have both. There are many types of diffusers out there, but there are even more essential oils for you to choose from. There are, amazingly, over 300 of these magical oils.
Various manufacturers have entered this competitive field with a broad range of scents.
To help you filter through the good and the bad, we have put together a complete list of the best essential oils reviews for 2016. We have included some handy tips on what you should look for if you decide to steer away from our suggestions.
How To Compare and Choose The Best Essential Oil Brands
Here are some features to look for when searching for the best essential oils…
1. Organic Authenticity
You should always select products from brands that offer natural and pure ingredients with no inorganic additives or fragrances added
2. Therapeutic Grade
Check the name online or on the label for a therapeutic grade printed for the best essential oils
3. Grade Quality
Reference past user reviews and company history to assure oil quality
4. Expiration or Life-cycle
Just like any other product made from natural ingredients, oils can expire over time losing their beneficial health characteristics. Check for expiration dates and storage tips
5. GCMS Tests
GCMS test determines the quality and purity of the essential oil ingredients. Make sure the brand has been tested
Any product that you are thinking of purchasing should be compared with others for price. Be careful, though: cheaper oils may lack the quality other more expensive oils may have

Historic Berliner Weisse – Homebrew Recipe
Original Gravity:
Grain Bill:
Wilder Wald – German Beer History
Original Gravity:
Grain Bill:
Woooooo! Thanks!
How did they control Biological Amimes. Thanks, good info!
We met this year at both Carnivale Brettanomyes and the BeaverTown Extravaganza. At Carnivale I also joined your historic Gose tasting, which I enjoyed a lot. And very informative!
Warning: long post 🙂
Seeing your recipe inspired me to brew a Berliner Weisse for the summer based on your instructions. There are however a few things that I did different.
I did perform a decoction step, but did not boil any hops in it. Using hops seemed a bit useless to me, as they will inhibit lactobacillus growth and up to 2 IBU won't add any perceivable hop flavor or bittering either. Doing the single decoction step would probable add a bit more color and maltiness to the beer. After the brew day I was wondering why I even bothered to perform the decoction step. It defeats the purpose of not boiling the wort a bit, since it will probably contribute to less of grainy doughy flavor in the final product.
As for the yeast I made a starter of some old slurry that I kept in the fridge for a few months now. It consists of German Ale (WY1007), Brett Bruxellensis (WLP650) and some Brett that I cultured from a bottle of Goose Island Sofie. I don't know the ratio's, but it has produced some enjoyable fruity and slightly funky beers in the past. It seemed a logical choice to use this blend for the Berliner Weisse.
Before pitching the yeast I added one pack of a Lactobacillus blend (Omega OYL-605) to the wort and left it in there for about a day to give the bacteria a head start. According to your discussion this seems to differ from the old procedures, but the last time I pitched this blend along with the yeast it did not produce enough acid for my taste.
I've never brewed a Berlines Weisse before and therefore I'm a bit afraid that the final product will contain some DMS because of the large portion of Pilsner malt and not boiling it. Have you ever experienced DMS in our beers and what are your points of view on this subject?
I have been looking forward to brewing this beer since hearing you on the MTF podcast a little while back. I'll be brewing it with my dad for our annual Thanksgiving brew. Our tradition is to create a beer that we can serve at the following year's celebration (while, of course, drinking the beer from the previous year). How well does this beer do after a year? I understand that some Berliners stand the test of time better than others, so I was just curious what your experience has been. Many thanks! And congratulations on creating a new human life!

SinoFresh Antiseptic Nasal Spray for Sinus Infection Symptoms
SinoFresh Antiseptic Nasal Spray for Sinus Infection Symptoms
A Product of
HealthTech Brands
Have had sinus issues for almost 20 years, with occasional "bad" infections requiring antibiotics. A year and a half ago, an acute problem developed and surgery was being recommended. TWO CT scans over three months at same time CT scans being cancer-promoters were in the news! Second opinion doc. said surgery not indicated YET. Recommended daily use of nasal steriods and other prescription meds. Chronic nosebleeds ensued - not a desirable side effect! Took the "self-care" route up a notch on my own. Have always done saline/nasal washing ("irrigation" with Neti pots or similar devices. Added SinoFresh and began to get better. MUCH better. All symptoms gradually disappeared. Sinofresh REALLY worked - and no irritation and no nosebleeds. I LOVE this product as part of my daily regimen. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Worth every penny!!
This product is the one and only non medicated nasal spray that does what it does...moisturize miserable dry nasal passages very effectively and do it with an extra-fresh little zip of mint. The label says "antiseptic" and I believe it...I have been using it for several years and between keeping the nasal passages moisturezed so that they can more effectively slough off airborne germs trying to "take root" and cleaning the passages gently every time I use it, I have not been sick at all. Prior to this product I had chronic colds all year. Also, I keep one in the car and use it when I feel even the slightest bit tired. The ultra-fresh feeling wakes me right up while driving long distances. Love this stuff.

There are times when you just don't know where to get the fuel to continue on with your work. Sometimes, the lack of inspiration and driving force can keep you in the dumps for hours, days, weeks and for others, even months. Have you ever wanted to try using outside stimulants in order to get some "high" feelings? Have you often admired those artists that can openly use marijuana and other herbal stimulant in order to get inspired or stimulate their senses? If you want to get high using a herbal product, yet is afraid with marijuana effect, then how about trying out the kratom, and get yourself high with the kratom effects.
Getting To Know Kratom and Kratom Effects
What is kratom? What is a kratom effect? Is kratom effect safe, is it legal? Where can you get a kratom? These are some of the questions that are running inside your head. Well, to start knowing more about kratom, here is an introduction about the product.
Kratom is the herbal leaf of a tree from Rabiaceae family which is commonly known as the coffee family. The tree is known as Thom or Ketum. It was discovered by Dutch botanist, by the name of Pieter Kortals. This herbal leaf is native to Malaysia and Thailand where it is traditionally used to treat diarrhea. It is also used as an analgesic and as an opiate addiction treatment. In order to receive the kratom effect, it is either chewed, smoked or boiled.
What is in it?
Kratom contains a number of alkaloids like mitraphylline, mitragynine, and 7-hydroxymitragynine which have a direct kratom effects on the brain. The last two alkaloid mentioned are considered to have the same effect as a sedative opiate at higher doses and as a stimulant in lower doses. Mitrgaynine, an opioid agonist, can act like real opiates like heroin. Kratom is currently being used in some institutions as a way to help drug addicts to relieve themselves from opiate addiction. This product actually works as a stimulant, anti-depressant, pain killer and anti-anxiety. Though, it is still largely unknown at what dosage is the kratom effect safe or when the kratom effects can result to addiction.
However, there are some facts that can indicate whether you are receiving the bad or good kratom effect. The first is that at low doses, kratom can provide its users alertness, concentration, physical energy, and allows the users to be more sociable, relax, and allows you to be more talkative than usual. On the other hand, if you have taken in high doses of kratom, you will become really happy and less sensitive to any negative stimulant like pain and depression. You might also experience a dream like state wherein you appreciate all things and you will find everything pleasurable.
According to studies, this substance can also have intoxicating and depressing effects; however, scientist claims that it can be used as a drug or medicinal substance. It is a fact that any kind of drug that is abused can have negative effects on the body. As previously mentioned, the kratom effects on helping opiate and morphine addicts during withdrawal is safer that is why kratom is used to help these addicts.
Any kind of drug can be addictive even if kratom effect is safe; it is still not advisable to take in higher dosages of this drug. Though using it at lower dosages isn't that bad.

"College campuses are not free speech areas. Do you understand? Obviously you don't understand."
Yes, you read that correctly. And no, that is not an excerpt from 1984.
A college professor at Fresno State University made that statement while he defaced life-affirming messages that had been chalked by Students for Life members on a university sidewalk.
Unfortunately, statements like these are not uncommon on college campuses today. Today's college students are more pro-life than ever, but they are not necessarily free to express their pro-life views on campus. Through our partnership with our friends at Students for Life of America, we are working to change that. In 2017 alone, Alliance Defending Freedom's Center for Academic Freedom has represented five Students for Life groups across the country, including Fresno State, defending the First Amendment rights of pro-life students.
1. Kutztown University of Pennsylvania: Students for Life participated in National Pro-Life Chalk Day by chalking pro-life messages on various sidewalks around campus, but university officials then erased those messages. Thankfully, the school has since revised its policies, protecting the freedom of speech for Students for Life and all other students.
2. Queens College: Students for Life was denied the ability to form an official club and meet on campus, a right that pro-abortion groups already exercise. After the ADF Center for Academic Freedom sued the school, it immediately granted Students for Life official club status. The case is still ongoing, but Students for Life is officially on campus, which is a huge win for freedom.
3. Colorado State University: Students for Life was denied access to funds from mandatory student activity fees purely because its speaker was pro-life. On May 30, ADF reached a settlement agreement with the school that eliminated the unconstitutional policies and paid the group the money that the university had withheld.
4. California State University San Marcos: Students for Life was denied $500 in funding to host a visiting speaker, even though the university funds pro-abortion and other favored views with almost $300,000 in student fees. Partnering with ADF, Students for Life is taking on this violation of the rights of all students, seeking to ensure a true marketplace of ideas – including pro-life ideas – on this campus.
5. Fresno State University: As described above, a professor and several students he recruited erased Fresno State Students for Life's chalked messages and told the students that they could only express themselves in the so-called "free speech area." One problem. Fresno State actually has no such area, and the group obtained approval for its messages in advance. Again, ADF represents Students for Life in taking on this blatant violation of the First Amendment.
These university actions denying pro-life students the right to express themselves on campus come at a time when students are more receptive than ever to the pro-life message. A plethora of recent studies have shown that young people are becoming more uncomfortable with abortion, including wanting to deny Planned Parenthood taxpayer funding. Perhaps this is why Students for Life of America has seen 115 new campus chapters founded in the second half of 2016 alone.
Young people are increasingly supportive of the pro-life cause and willing to speak out in defense of unborn children. But that is difficult to do when your school silences pro-life and other conservative voices.
College officials have a duty to uphold the Constitution and teach students that our freedoms are worth defending, even when they disagree with the speaker. Instead, they are teaching our students – who will be tomorrow's legislators and government officials – all the wrong lessons: that free speech is not an inalienable right, but a privilege granted by their university administration, and that their free speech rights can change based on what viewpoints a government official favors.
Students for Life works tirelessly to defend the unborn. But they can only do that effectively if pro-life students are free to speak up on their college campuses. It takes courage to sue your school, but courage is something that Students for Life and the students in these chapters have never lacked. We are thankful that they have been willing to further their mission by standing in the gap and defending free speech rights for all students on college campuses. The ADF Center for Academic Freedom will keep working to defend Students for Life, securing their and every student's right to freedom of speech on college campuses.

Jewish High School Kids
"Yosef and I go on mivtzoyim [Torah outreach] weekly to a Jewish high school.
We put tefillin on the boys and encourage the girls to light candles. We also encourage them to marry Jews.
This week we were asked by a girl why she can't wear a yarmulke [Jewish head covering], tzitzit [fringes], or tefillin.
How would you respond to this?"
Gutman's response:
First thing is for you and Yosef to learn what happens when a Jewish girl lights a Shabbos candle; how it is a "time of favor" and what this means, how she can take advantage of this. You should be able to explain what happens when she brings this spiritual light into the world, the nature of this light, and what it does. Also, you should have Shabbos lighting kits with you to share with them. Then, they will not feel so left out.
Next, I would show them my video on this subject. They probably have e-phones in their pockets so they can see it right when they ask.
Keep up your good work. There is no way to estimate how many Jewish lives you are helping, what your kindness will bring. For one thing, there will be more Jewish families in the world because you cared enough to go out and help.

After many ups and downs, I am most certainly glad to have finally release the Josie Rizal Character Theme I produced over a year ago. I must say; quite embarrassed that it took me so long, but again, I must apologise for the prolonged delay. Haha, again- I had to take care of many things; prioritise many things- so much to say that the idea of producing/working on that piece (and music alone) was (temporarily) not a priority. I'm sure you'd understand.
TEKKEN 7 | Josie Rizal – Get Ready to Fly (Sampaguita Festival)
I would just like to say that I am terribly sorry. I had uploaded a teaser of this track last year? If I'm not mistaken. If not last year… then most probably two years ago. It was a really long time. I've just been busy with life, issues, problems, fighting demons, and just experiencing disturbances at full force. A bit of me being a perfectionist is also one of the main reasons as to why this track is so late. So I just want to start off by apologising to those who have been patiently waiting.
The Lore behind this track.
The foundation of this track was influenced by Josie Rizal's stance animation. Notice this; listening to this track whilst watching her, you'll notice that she syncs with the beat, as if she's dancing as well as fighting to the beat. As this track belongs to Josie, I felt that the track alone should contain some characteristics of her as a character as well as her background; as she is indeed from the Philippines.
I also wanted to produce something that would or could be used in a festival. Doing research on the types of festivals that take place in the Philippines also helped me to structure the aesthetics and style of her Character theme.

Though TB incidence and TB deaths have shown a declining trend, India continues to have the highest burden of TB, writes Dr. Rajna Mishra, Senior Research Scientist.
New Delhi: Globally 28 lakh patients are estimated to be suffering from TB and 4.8 lakh deaths have been attributable to disease. The estimated incidence of new TB cases in India in 2016 was 2.8 million cases and mortality due to TB was 480,000. Approximately 5% of the incident TB cases have co-morbidity with HIV, though this proportion varies depending on the HIV prevalence of the population.
Though TB incidence and TB deaths have shown a declining trend, India continues to have the highest burden of TB in the world accounting for one fourth of the global disease burden (TB incidence declined from 289 per lakh per year in 2000 to 217 per lakh per year in 2015 and TB deaths reduced from 56 per lakh per year in 2000 to 36 per lakh per year in 2015 as per the Global TB Report, 2016). Mortality due to TB is the third leading cause of years of life lost (YLLs) lost, in the country.
The country has varied epidemiology from very high TB prevalence to very low TB prevalence, high and low TB/HIV coinfection and drug resistant - DR-TB depending on state/regions. Rural-urban differentials prevail, urban areas are typically characterized by lower prevalence with higher Annual Risk of TB infection (ARTI), which rural areas are characterized by higher prevalence and lower ARTI.
But challenges remain
Diversity of TB epidemiology in the country necessitates different approaches to be adopted for addressing the problem. The private sector is massive, heterogeneous, and evidence suggests that attempts to improve collaboration between the public and private sectors, have not yet worked except in a few innovative pilots.
Private sector remains the first point of contact for many people with early symptoms of TB and over 80% first approach the private sector. Substantial diagnostic delays occur and diagnosis and treatment are of variable quality in the private sector. This, combined with the absence of drug quality controls, leads to drug resistance. Hence, this urgently necessitates enhanced engagement with the largely unorganized and unregulated private sector which accounts for at least half of those treated for TB in India.
Despite mandatory notification, notification in the country is abysmally low at 58% and many patients treated by the private sector are not notified to the RNTCP. India has more than a million 'missing' cases every year that are not notified and most remain either undiagnosed or inadequately diagnosed and treated in the private sector. Some of the other bottlenecks include absence of a policy for private sector engagement, utilization of funds earmarked for private sector for other activities, inappropriate tools, uncertain quality standards and high out of pocket expenditure.
Pathways to reach out to patients seeking care from the private sector:
Morbidity and mortality due to TB could be reduced by Private sector participation in early diagnosis, notification and management.
Though the government is putting in efforts to engage with the private sector and improve the quality of care, the nature of partnership should focus on both enabling service provision, stewardship and monitoring including a robust modern MIS system. As with public health services, there is an urgent need for surveillance, adherence monitoring, contact investigation, and outcome recording among privately-treated TB patients.
Public health actions to support increased private provider engagement for better health outcomes that needs to be addressed on an immediate basis should consider the following:
Comprehensive census of providers through a complete census/mapping of all private providers including private doctors (both Allopaths and AYUSH), chemists and laboratories.
Considering the large number of AYUSH providers in India, and lack of clarity on their involvement, a road map with clear cut guidelines and strategies to be laid down for enabling early case identification and prompt referrals.
It is to be ensured that all TB patients diagnosed or treated in private sector are notified. Provision of access to free drugs and diagnostic tests as per STCI, patient-centric adherence support to patients of private providers for retention in care, incentives and/or enablers to providers to be ensured through an explicit private sector engagement policy. There is a need to strengthening existing referral linkages and establish new linkages based on provider mapping for early and accurate diagnosis of TB and timely initiation of treatment, improved access to TB care, reduce patient drop-outs and increase patient satisfaction. Together with these, Innovative use of information and communication technologies for TB notification and treatment adherence monitoring is crucial. Sensitization and capacity building of private providers on standard treatment protocols (STCI) through CMEs, personal communication, professional associations etc., on an ongoing basis are to be provided.
The need of the hour lies in comprehensively-deployed interventions and strategies for public private partnerships to hasten the rate of decline of incidence of TB and move towards elimination and ensuring a "TB Mukt Bharat".

Food amounts for catering depend on the type of gathering, the time of day and the type of food. The amount of food you prepare should also depend on the budget. You would approach an event differently when clients indicate that money is no object and they want abundant food, than you would when customers communicate that they are on a tight budget and want you to save them money.
Think in terms of one and a half pounds of food per person as a starting place. In most situations this is more than enough food, so don't worry if you end up actually making a little less. Divide this amount among the various dishes you will be making, taking into account whether someone else will be preparing some of the food. Assess which menu items people are likely to eat in the largest quantities. People generally take more of the main dishes and less of the side dishes.
Consider the time of day when the event will be taking place, as well as the time of year. People tend to eat more at meal times than at events taking place between meals, and they eat less at lunch than at dinner. They will eat less at an early lunch or dinner than at a later one. They will also eat less if it is a very hot day.
Consider the type of event you will be catering. People tend to eat more when they feel comfortable, such as at gatherings of friends where the guests know each other well. They eat less when they are trying to impress one another, such as at business meetings. Ask your client about variables that may affect the quantity of food you will prepare.
Figure at least two units per person for finger food items served as discrete units (such as stuffed grape leaves). Prepare more if there will be a limited number of appetizers, and less if there will be quite a few.
Figure about an ounce of total cheese per person for cheese plates. If you are catering for 80 people, and you are providing 5 different kinds of cheese, you will only need a pound of each in total (454gr. X 2.27 Kilogram = 2268gr), unless the particular group is especially fond of cheese or there isn't much other food.

On Thursday 5th May, there will be a referendum on a new voting system for parliamentary elections and I will be voting YES.
The proposal means that instead of placing a single cross on the ballot paper, the Alternative Vote (AV) would allow electors to rank candidates (1, 2, 3 …) in order of preference. If no candidate achieves 50% of preferences on the first count, the other preferences of losing candidates are taken into account.
Like many people, I am extremely angry at the manner in which the Government has linked the provision of this referendum to a reduction in the number of constituencies, which will lead to at least one cross-Tamar Devonwall constituency. I know of people who may vote No as a protest against the Government because of this. But I hope they do not because, whatever happens on 5th May, there will be a Devonwall seat at the 2015 General Election, unless there is a Government u-turn.
I say this because it is my strong view that the present First Past the Post system does not work as part of a 21st century democracy. I fully support a more proportional voting system (PR) and recognise that AV is not PR, but I do see this reform as a step in the right direction. At the present time across the UK, the vast majority of parliamentary constituencies are safe seats and the main political parties pour disproportionate resources into a small number of marginal seats.
Taking the St Austell and Newquay seat as an example, in the four months leading up to Polling Day last year, the Liberal Democrats spent £33,852 and the Conservatives £40,968 (figures from returns to the Electoral Commission). This was on top of the tens of thousands of pounds spent by both parties in the preceding two years.
By contrast, in the perceived "safe" Labour-held seats of Wolverhampton SE and Islwyn in South Wales, the Tories spent £3,785 and £923 respectively. In the same seats, the Liberal Democrats only spent £370 and £589. I do not think that this disparity in spending and associated campaign activity is healthy for a democracy.
Politics is also becoming increasingly pluralistic with more and more political parties entering the fray, but the electoral system has not caught up. In modern parliamentary contests, as I know from experience, great pressure is brought to bear on people to vote tactically to stop certain political parties from winning. I feel that this distorts political debate and often derails serious consideration of the issues that really matter to communities throughout the UK. AV will eliminate tactical voting, allowing voters to always support their first-choice candidate.
I think this is right – people should be encouraged to vote positively for the party or the person they believe in. I believe that this represents positive reform and progress, and I hope that you will also consider voting YES in the referendum in a month's time.
