The 10 Most Common Thoughts People Have When They Get Back Into Dating
When you're on the heels of a relationship, sometimes it can be hard to put yourself back out there. The thought of even going out to meet new people can feel overwhelming especially if you're just getting over your last relationship. Don't panic. When you start to feel ready with getting your feet wet in the dating pool again, remember we've all been, there especially in terms of those post-break thought patterns. Here are ten of the most common things people think when they get back into dating after a long-term relationship.
1.Am I Ready for This?
If you're fresh out of a relationship, one of the first things that may occur to you is–'Am I ready for this?' Although it can be hard to start to move on, it will help you in the long run. It's healthy to give yourself time to heal after a break-up, but only you can decide when you're ready to get back into the swing of things.
2.Will I Make the Same Mistakes?
Breakups are tough. Even if you end on an amicable note, they are still hard to endure. When you go through one, it's normal to wonder, 'Will I make the same mistakes again?' There's no sure way to know if you will, but if you are aware of a pattern of behavior that was an issue in a previous relationship, and you make an effort to deal with it in a way you see fit, odds are you won't. Remember, you have the power to change.
3.I'm Not Good Enough
This thought can cloud your mind for weeks after a break-up. A break-up makes you question your self-worth and how lovable you are. Put those negative thoughts to the side. You are worthy of love and a relationship and no one can take that away from you or decide that for you.
4.'You Were Always on My Mind'
It's almost a guarantee when you're going through the process of ending a relationship, your ex will be on your mind – a lot. A certain song, meal, even watching a movie, might trigger a memory for you. You are mourning a loss, and it's a process. You need to let yourself feel your feelings, and eventually, those will pass, but don't let it consumes you.
5.Will I Ever Meet the Right Person?
When you're fresh out of a breakup, you may also be thinking will you never meet the right person. It might even be hard to imagine yourself in another relationship. All of that is completely normal, and it will take time to get you feeling 100% like yourself again. Remember, it's not a race. When you're ready for it both emotionally and mentally, you will start to date again, and hopefully, find the 'right' person for you.
6.Do I Date the Same Version of the Person?
It's normal to question choices you made in your previous relationship – a major one being the person you dated. Sometimes you may even wonder if you date the same person. If you think there may be something to do that, try to evaluate it, and see if there is really a pattern. If you think there may be, talk it out with friends. Share your observation, if you think its a bigger issue, maybe it's time to consult a professional therapist or psychologist who can help give you tips to break the habit.
7.How Can I Start to Take Better Care of Myself?
It can be easy to stay in sweats, have that extra slice of pizza, and stay in bed and hide from the world. Try to set tiny goals for yourself when you're going through this tough time. Whether it's making an effort to meet up with friends you've been blowing off, treating yourself to a movie, or special dinner, do things that make you feel good. You have to decide what you need during this time, and only you can determine what that way is and what's best for you.
8.How do I Start Making the 'Right' Choices for Myself?
Breakups can put you through the ringer emotionally and mentally. They can also make you question everything around you. They can also take a physical toll on you if you're not taking care of yourself properly. It's important to eat right, get enough rest, exercise, and surround yourself with supportive people.
9.What are my Dealbreakers?
After some time has passed, and you will start to gain a fresh perspective on your situation. With this newfound clarity, you can also decide what some of your deal breakers are for a relationship going forward. Maybe you have strong religious or political views, aren't a drinker or smoker, are ok with open relationships, or are not, or are vegan or vegetarian. Things like these can be the root of issues in future relationships, so if you are clear about your deal breakers, this can better inform your dating life in the future.
10.What do I Want Next?
When you start feeling ready to go out and meet new people, what you want next will be another thing to keep in mind. Jumping from one relationship to the next is never a great idea. It's good to give yourself space to recoup and find out who you are again as a single person, it can help you rediscover things about who you are, and this can also help you get a clearer idea of what you may want going forward and the kind of relationship you're after.

So yeah I bought into the hype machine and saw Cloverfield. It's really not that bad, I mean it's nothing spectacular in the realm of monster movies but it holds up pretty well considering the entire film is from a single point of view.
But you know, really could have used more monster. Lots of glimpses and destruction and stuff blowing up. But even the "good look" at the beast wasn't that good of a look. And after all the hoopla of what it would look like (honestly I can't believe I didn't see it beforehand, and I sure looked for it!), It was just okay. Storywise its very straightforward, by the numbers. Hits all the action movie beats, no switcheroos, no fake-outs, and that was a bit of a letdown considering all of the secrecy involved. The folks I saw it with were generally entertained but we surprisingly came up with the same idea for a way cooler ending. And -no- science whatsoever. No explanation of what, how, why, nothing. Me, I really like the sci in my sci-fi. Can't I get a little sumptin' sumptin'?
I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I felt the movie had a heavy overtone of dread. Not even sure why, maybe because the deaths are both on the mass scale and the up-close and personal. Outside of the plot of random and wanton destruction, I don't know if there was a metaphor involved or if there was I'm not thinking enough to make the connection. The handheld camera viewpoint leads to some intense scenes where the military lets go full bore, as a viewer this is impressive and even jarring. It's so close up and loud, one can only wonder what actual modern warzone life is like, no doubt terrifying outside of the realms of fiction. Coupled with the no-win scenario omnipresent through the course of the film and held to the very end, it's definitely not the feel-good film of the new year. I know that's a strange thing to say about a monster movie, but Cloverfield is not an average movie in many ways. Does that make it better? Not sure... even with the hook of the single camera and personal POV, there are definitely some areas of story that could have been stronger to make a crazy-awesome monster flic instead of just an eyebrow raiser.
In the end I wish the monster really did look like this.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I must say I loved the first two episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Fox. It is a bit like fanfic gone wild, set in an alternate history which takes place directly after Terminator 2: Judgement Day but upsets the introduction of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
Now I wasn't expecting much to begin with, so I was pleasingly assuaged when the beats I define as keen to Terminator canon were hit repeatedly. These include:
- Hard-as-nails Sarah Connor
- Random, instant violence
- Heavy ammunition usage
- Terminators hit by cars
- Exceptionally high imbalance of body-to-drywall ratio
While she does know how to kick ass and take names, TV's Sarah Connor played by Lena Heady is quite a bit more accessible than her movie counterpart Linda Hamilton. In T2, Hamilton is freaking amazing as a detached, single-minded lioness who will stop at nothing to protect her son. That transformation from the original movie's terrified damsel on the run is a thrill to behold and one of the anchors of what makes T2 so great. Hamilton's Connor outright personifies someone you do not want to fuck with.
Here in television where the titular character must be sustained for presumably much longer storylines, I understand the choice to take a less intense direction. Luckily Headly appears to play the balance well, and still keeps the thick skin and unflinching trigger finger.
Not surprisingly John Connor plays a big role, as well as his new Termanatrix protector (aptly done, if expected, by Summer Glau). Model number as yet unidentified... though there seem to be plenty of T-800's around.
The alternate timeline takes a little getting used to, I really enjoyed T3 and its striking resolution. Judgement Day cannot be stopped, it is inevitable in the Terminator storyline. Chronicles may not stop it but has certainly postponed it, and it will be interesting to see how much they play around with chronology or if the third film is even referenced at all. Not to mention the fourth film in the works! In its first episode the show has brought time travel into play, which I love, but we've yet to see if it will be overdone as paradox piles onto paradox. I hope the series either stays strong or stays brief. Heroes was a big let down by the end of the first season, and I can barely bring myself to mention the dashed hopes of Bionic Woman. I hope Chronicles keeps itself on a tight leash.
UPDATE: My new guilty pleasure, i09, picks up on the "kinder, gentler Sarah Connor," supposing and fearing it may lead to a downhill trend. And I gotta say that original pilot ending is kick ass compared to what aired. Keep your fingers crossed the character won't stray too far into that territory.

I have been authoring a column for a while now on basic business and music law concepts on a music site (notjustok.com) focused on Nigerian musicians and its music industry. Going forward, I will republish some of those articles here for the benefit of UDUAK LAW BLOG readers who are musicians here in the States. I thought to start with this article on getting buzz for your music. As a member of the press and also owner of a media startup, Ladybrille, I can tell you this is one question I receive often. How do I get my music out there? What do I do? Here you go. A lot of the tips shared in this article are parallel concepts if you are in the fashion or film industry.
- Tip #1, Lay your foundation: The media is in the business of giving their audience want they want. Show you are worth their time and can give them what their audience wants by first laying your foundation. This means you must take advantage of your social media tools to gain traction. Create your Myspace, twitter, YouTube, facebook fan page, blog or your own website. Your social media sites are FREE and will come in handy when dealing with media.
- Tip #2, Target and know your media well: Invest the time to research and compile a contact list of influential music journalists, publishers & bloggers (aka media). Research their style, genre, how they like things sent to them, read some of the articles they have written/published. You do not want to waste your time sending information to journalists or bloggers that do not focus on music, much less your genre.
- Tip #3, Get your press a.k.a. media kit together: A media kit immediately sets you apart from the competition. It says you are serious about the business of music and you will be taken seriously. What goes into a media kit? Traditionally for musicians your cover letter, bio and basic frequently asked questions, brochure, past media coverage, CD and photo. These days, especially if you will be e-mailing your press kit, make it not more than one page long. Include a short and straight to the point information about yourself, your company if you are a record label, your new music, upcoming album and a link to your website/social media site. Make sure to include your contact information so you can be reached.
- Tip #4, Don't send MP3s: I know it seems counter intuitive but the level of spam the media gets means your MP3s will often end up in the spam/junk folder. To increase the probability your music will be heard, send a link to your MySpace. If they like what they see and hear, they will follow up.
- Tip# 5, Send your release as an embedded text: Press releases are independent of your media kit. A press release is for the media not fans and it says, "I have newsworthy information that will benefit your audience." Do not send press releases as attachments because they will find their way, most often, in the junk pile. Journalists get tons of e-mail everyday. Make their life easy and increase your chance of getting buzz by sending an embedded text.

It doesn't mean that I am going to do it again. I also am kind of confused because my call history says that I called 3847147 people and I can't really remember any of the conversations I had with any of them but I hope it was funny.
Man I wish this was something of more substance but I still think it's pretty funny that I shaved my arms.
Edit-- The Goon just came in here and asked me to look in his bathroom. I wrote "Naughty Boy" on his mirror in White-Out. 1) I don't remember that and 2) where the fuck did I get white-out?

For those out there that think that Mark Lanier will only earn a contingency fee from the $135 dollar verdict ... he will seek substantially more.
The NJ statute dealing with consumer fraud allows for an application of attorneys' fees. Each case had a consumer fraud count which was ruled on in favor of the Plaintiff.
You can surely expect that in Lanier's application for fees, he may seek more than $400,000.

On my flight to SF for #bldwin this week I sat between two random people. All three of us were normal business travelers, all spending our time on the flight doing a mix of entertainment (videos, reading, social games) and work (spreadsheets, email, editing documents).
(yes, I know it is rude to look at what your fellow travelers have on their screens, but in the cramped quarters on an airplane how can you NOT see???)
To my left was a man, perhaps in his late 30's. He had an iPad that he used as a tablet to do some reading and watch some video. He also did some work on the iPad, for which he dug out a clamshell case that converted the iPad into a laptop with a keyboard. One device plus a laptop-sized keyboard peripheral.
To my right was a woman, maybe in her early 40's. She had an iPad that she used to play some social games and do some reading. For most of the flight she dug out a traditional big Win7 laptop so she could use Outlook, Word, and Excel. Two devices consuming about the same physical area as the guy with his iPad and clamshell, though I bet he carried less weight than she did.
I'm sure it'll be no surprise to anyone reading this blog that I was using my Surface Pro 2 the whole flight. And I too did some reading, some email, did a little social gaming, browsed the web, and did some work in Word. I am quite confident that my single device consumed less physical area than their devices in my carry-on bag. It might be that the weight of my device was comparable to the guy with his iPad/clamshell (the Surface weights more than the iPad, but perhaps less than the clamshell). Certainly we both were carrying less weight than the woman with an iPad and old-fashioned laptop.
For a long time I pleaded with Microsoft to give us (or at least me) a device that gave me the power of a laptop in the form of a tablet. It took them long enough, but I want to be clear that I think the Surface Pro 2 is exactly what I asked for way back when.
Enough battery life I don't think about it. Light enough to carry (though not as light as the smaller iPads). Powerful enough to run Visual Studio and 1-2 Hyper-V VMs so I can do my work. Compact even with the backlit type keyboard.
The only thing I really wish is that there was a WinRT version of Office. The fact that existing Office drops me into the legacy desktop, and more importantly doesn't allow me to use the Share charm or the integrated-into-WinRT DropBox and Box support is frustrating.
I'm fine with being in the legacy desktop for Visual Studio, because then I'm almost certainly connected to a bigger monitor, keyboard, and mouse setup.
(for those who are curious, here's a good example of a nice USB-based docking station for Windows tablets; dual monitor output, keyboard/mouse, and more USB ports for other peripherals; all by plugging in one USB cable to your device)
But I frequently use Office without being docked, and it would be much nicer to use a WinRT version in that scenario.
The MyVote app is a complete modern app built by Magenic as a demo for Modern Apps Live! conferences.
MyVote from Modern Apps Live! LV 2014 is available on the MyVote releases page on GitHub.
The MyVote app is available for install
Although we've made the code available on GitHub, getting the app compiled and running is non-trivial of course, because this is a complete modern app with clients for
and services that use
In GitHub the README.md file contains a list of places in the code where you'll need to insert your own encryption and service keys. Beyond that you are largely on your own. If you are looking for a more detailed walkthrough of the implementation I can only suggest that you attend Modern Apps Live! in Orlando this fall.
I just created a release of CSLA 4 version 4.5.580-Beta with preliminary support for iOS via the Xamarin tools.
You can get it via nuget (easiest), or from the release page on GitHub.
This is an exciting pre-release because it now means you can reuse the same business logic code across all modern app client platforms and the desktop and the cloud. This is a "who's who" list of supported platforms:
CSLA .NET allows you to easily create reusable business logic (authorization, validation, calculations, etc.) and to share a common app server with simple network configuration. I don't know of any other open source C# framework that makes it possible for you to reuse the exact same business logic across all these different platforms.
Because the iOS support is new we are asking for your help. If you have the Xamarin tools for iOS please help us out by building some business code using CSLA and let us know if you find any issues (either on the forum at http://forums.lhotka.net or via the CSLA GitHub page.
I few weeks ago I posted about my new Nokia Lumia 1520 "phablet": Lumia 1520- First thoughts
Tomorrow my new Lumia 1020 will replace the 1520.
Because the 1520 is just too big. Otherwise I really like it in a lot of ways – high def screen, easy to read content, very fast, slot for MicroSD card.
But it doesn't fit nicely into my pockets, and it is very awkward to hold up to my ear when talking (yes, I often use BlueTooth, but not always).
Mostly though, even with my big hands (I'm 2m tall after all) I can't use it one-handed. <insert texting while driving jokes here> In reality this has nothing to do with driving as I have a good hands-free setup in my truck. This has to do with normal everyday use of the phone, and the reality that it never works one-handed, even for basic things like pulling it out of my pocket to answer a call.
I have high hopes for the 1020. It is the size of my 920, which I loved, and has a much better camera. I don't believe it has a MicroSD slot though, which is the only real negative I can see.
In my last post my focus was on listing the numerous WinRT apps I use on a regular basis – many of which, if I couldn't get them on Win8 would drive me to carry an iPad. I'm personally not just a software developer, I'm a user of computing as well.
One line, a sensation-maker, in my post was that I think Windows developers who aren't using WinRT apps are doing their ultimate users a disservice. This doesn't apply to web developers or other people who aren't developing actual Windows applications, but it surely applies to people living today in the legacy WPF, SL, and Windows Forms technologies.
The thing is, I made no effort to describe why I believe that to be true, because the focus of that post was to list useful apps.
So what did I mean by that comment?
Here's the thing. As someone who does use a lot of WinRT apps I can say that a lot of them suck. I've divided the suckage into three categories.
Some apps are obviously built by pure mobile developers, who have no comprehension of keyboard/mouse or productivity on anything but a tablet. So their apps are sometimes pretty good on a tablet, but are virtually useless on a laptop or desktop. Because I use all three types of device with pretty much every app, I find that these mobile-only or mobile-first apps just suck. I might use them on my tablet, but they are always pretty secondary to more complete apps because they aren't universal.
Other apps are obviously built by pure desktop developers, who have no comprehension of touch. These apps often work pretty well with keyboard/mouse, but are awkward to use with touch. Technically they work on my tablet, but they aren't fun or efficient, and so I consider them to suck.
The third group of sucky apps are built by people with no WinRT user experience. These apps might, in theory, work pretty well with touch and/or keyboard and mouse, but they miss the point of all the cool WinRT features. They don't use AppBars or the Share charm or Settings or Search correctly. They don't use dialogs correctly, they don't use navigation correctly. I'm sure the authors of these apps often think they are being clever by inventing their own techniques, but as a user their apps just suck because they don't work right.
In short, sucky apps come from three sources:
So as a developer, if you plan to ever build WinRT apps and you aren't using WinRT then you are pretty much guaranteed to fall into category 3, and very possibly 1 and/or 2.
Hence, if you are a smart client developer – unless you are planning to retire on WPF (which is fine) or switch to the iPad/Android world, you are doing yourself and your users a disservice if you aren't actually using and learning "the WinRT way".
Jason Bock mentioned something to me that got me thinking. I base all of this on one core assumption:
Win32 has no long-term future as a mainstream technology.
Win32 has no long-term future as a mainstream technology.
To be clear, I am 100% sure Win32 will be around for the next 20-30 years, just like mainframes and minicomputers are still with us – usually hidden behind the scenes or in a terminal window, but still here. I don't think anyone would call them "mainstream" though. Nobody ever mentions IBM in the same breath as Microsoft/Apple/Google/Samsung.
Now if you think Microsoft will back off from WinRT, and by some miracle Apple and Google and Samsung will just completely fail to adapt iOS, Android, or ChromeOS to the enterprise, then you can imagine yourself still doing Win32 as a mainstream technology in 5-7 years.
I personally can't imagine that happening. I think 5 years from now Win32 will be pretty much what we think of as VB6 today. Something that runs a ton of software, and something that people still do, but not something that would be considered mainstream or vibrant.
For my part, I think that if Microsoft does back off WinRT to try and rejuvenate Win32 … well … that'll be the opening one or more competitors needs to swoop in and take the enterprise desktop.
I thought I'd post a list of the top Windows 8 WinRT (windows store) apps that I use all the time.
I know a lot of people who are running Win8 and treating it like Win7 – never leaving the legacy Desktop if at all possible. I think those people are doing themselves a disservice, and in the long run if they are developers then they are doing their users a disservice. I say this because I view the Desktop today in the same light I viewed green screen terminals in the early 1990s – a necessary evil that will ultimately fade into the mists of time (except for those poor users who will forever be stuck using legacy apps).
So these are the apps that, if they didn't run on Win8, would probably drive me to get an iPad or Android tablet (except that because they are on Win8 I can use them on my tablet AND on my desktop, which is extremely nice). For the most part these are pinned on my start screen on my tablet and desktop. I've bolded the WinRT apps and left the legacy Desktop apps unbolded so it is clear just how much I use WinRT.
News, weather, etc:
The Modern Apps Live! conference is coming up soon. Not only am I speaking at this event, but I'm the conference chair so I had the privilege of laying out all the content for the show.
This is the third Modern Apps Live! event and I think it offers something you won't find in many (any?) other conferences. It is a single track, a single room. The content builds on itself through the entire conference. If you stick with us for the whole show we'll walk you through the entire process of architecting, designing, and implementing a modern app.
What is a modern app?

I got this in the email today, and I literally laughed out loud.
I've been fighting these spammers for years, and they've cost me ridiculous amounts of time and money over that time.
The fact that these inherently evil people are now asking me to spend more of my time and money to resolve some issue they brought on themselves is hilarious!
Now maybe if they'd offered me a bunch of money – enough to cover my time now to remove the links, plus enough to cover all the hours I've spent fighting their spam over the years – I'd be motivated to "help" them.
As it is, I find that I'm highly motivated to do two things:
(what's even funnier is that their spam is in a fake user profile, not in the actual forum, and the spammer that created that user profile has the password and could thus clean up the spam themselves – I think these national positions people should just pay their spammer to clean up the mess – that would be pretty funny too :) )

I've had my Nokia Lumia 1520 "phablet" for around 6 hours now and thought I'd record my earliest thoughts.
(phablet is a term used to describe a huge phone, big enough to be a small tablet – hence "phablet")
On Waze:
Twice I mentioned the Waze app. It is a wonderful app if you need to get somewhere through traffic, snowstorms, etc. The user-driven data sourcing for traffic and related events is all in realtime, and I've found that Waze gets me around traffic that other GPS apps (even with traffic data) wouldn't avoid.
BUT, the Waze app does literally drain the battery on phones even when plugged into a charger, so it is something you can _only_ use when the phone is plugged into a charger, and even then only for a relatively short period of time (such as on your commute to/from work). Even then, I suspect it would totally drain a battery with a longer commute like people have in some cities…

Hiring an LTL Carrier for the First Time
If you have never had a reason to hire an LTL carrier, you might find that hiring this type of carrier is slightly different than hiring an FTL carrier or using someone like UPS or FedEx. These carriers make their living carrying small loads to a single destination. This is often done in stages rather than a single trip, as such you need to be prepared for the possibility that your shipment may sit in a warehouse waiting for a truck to take it further down the road.
This does not mean that you are not entitled to reliable service from an LTL carrier, only that you shipments may take longer. At LTL Freight Shipping we have assembled a nationwide network of carriers that will work with you to ensure that your shipments reach their final destination in a reasonable amount of time and at a fair price. Contact us for all of your LTL shipping needs.

Here is one of the entries for the figure show at AAH. It's not the one I worked tiredlessly on last night. More on that later..... Also, stay tuned. I'm rigging the Sprinter van up this weekend to be a travelling studio. Plein air painting out of a van. Just open the side or rear doors-pull up a chair and go! Cheating? perhaps. It will be the worlds most expensive umbrella. Off to David Oleski's place for New Years Eve. Those 60"x84" apple paintings have to seen in person to be believed. He's on my link list for a view. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! pray for a good stock market. It helps the art market
P.S. some of this years shows are lined up already. I'll be updating in a few weeks.

MLB trade rumors: Yankees have spoken to Mariners about starter James Paxton
The Yankees are looking to add a starter.
New York has spoken with the Mariners about a potential deal for James Paxton, according to a report from The Athletic, which cites unidentified league sources. The Yankees are also interested in free agents Patrick Corbin and J.A. Happ, among others, the report says.
Paxton will be under team control for the next two seasons.
#Yankees among teams that have spoken to #Mariners about a trade for LHP James Paxton, sources tell The Athletic. Paxton has two years of control left and is projected by @mlbtraderumors to earn $9M in arbitration next season. NYY also on free-agent LH starters Corbin, Happ, etc.— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) November 9, 2018
The 30-year-old left-hander registered an 11-6 record with a 3.76 ERA in 28 starts for Seattle last season. He struck out 208 and walked 42 in 160 1/3 innings on the mound.
Paxton has spent all six of his MLB seasons with the Mariners. He holds a 41-26 career record and a 3.42 ERA.
The Yankees re-signed starter CC Sabathia to a one-year contract this week. General manager Brian Cashman also told reporters the team is hoping to trade Sonny Gray in the offseason.

There appears to be some disharmony between the grand chapters of Scotland and Spain.
What's the ramifications of such an event?
Could it lead to further withdrawals of recognition by other grand chapters and grand lodges

Cal-Mag Complete by Equilibrium Nutrition was designed in a way to increase absorption of calcium and magnesium by the body.
Both of these minerals are extremely important when it comes to regulating all cardiovascular, muscle contraction, bone building, blood sugar balance, and healthy blood pressure levels.
Cal-Mag Complete includes 200 mg of elemental calcium and 175 mg of elemental magnesium per serving, each ideally formulated using three mineral forms to ensure maximum absorption.
While most mineral supplements use only a single-source of minerals which can easily overwhelm a single pathway of absorption and limit the uptake of high dose calcium-magnesium regimens, Cal-Mag Complete leverages the benefit of multiple pathways of absorption by using three different mineral forms.
Calcium is most well-known for its role in the formation of bone and teeth, but it also plays a role in keeping the heart and muscles functioning by governing muscle contractions. Magnesium is also a constituent of bone and controls potassium and calcium uptake, assists in electrical nerve activity, and manages the metabolism of carbohydrates.
In the body, phosphorus is second in abundance only to calcium, and is necessary for bone growth, cellular health and acidalkaline balance. Magnesium enhances the absorption of calcium, and works in tandem with calcium to allow muscles to contract and relax. Combined, these two essential minerals maintain in an intricately linked relationship that supports both muscle and nervous system function.
The importance of bioavailability is obvious. If consuming a mineral supplement has little effect on improving the body's mineral balance, there is no reason to ingest it.
Signs of inferior mineral supplements include the use of cheap, poorly absorbed, rock-salt minerals like calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide (See Figure 1).
These mineral forms slow and limit absorption, relying on adequate stomach acid to release calcium ions which then enter the body via passive diffusion. And, because they tend to remain in the intestines longer, these forms of mineral supplements can cause intestinal distress such as constipation (calcium carbonate) or diarrhea (magnesium oxide).
Cal-Mag Complete provides the benefit of highly-absorbed, Albion® mineral chelates. Albion® is the world leader in manufacturing highly bioavailable mineral chelates, a specialized form of minerals bound to amino acids.
This patented process creates organic mineral compounds which use active absorption mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract to greatly enhance mineral absorption. Comparison studies have shown significantly superior absorption of mineral chelates compared to other mineral forms. In a clinical study comparing calcium absorption in humans, Albion®'s patented calcium chelate delivered the greatest absorption of all calcium sources tested (See Figure 2).
In a magnesium comparison study reported by Graff et al. at Weber State University, Albion®'s magnesium amino acid chelate had (See Figure 1)2 : • 8.8 times greater absorption than magnesium oxide • 5.6 times greater absorption than magnesium sulfate • 2.3 times greater absorption than magnesium carbonate.
In addition, mineral chelates are gentle, gut "friendly" minerals that do not cause constipation that often accompanies calcium carbonate and other rock-salt forms. Albion®'s mineral chelates have extensive clinical research proving their superior bioavailability, biologic activity, stability, and improved tolerance.
Calcium is required for heart health, muscle function, nerve transmission, intracellular signaling and hormonal secretion. It is less than 1 % of total body calcium that supports these critical metabolic functions.3
Serum calcium is very tightly regulated and does not fluctuate with changes in dietary intakes. The body uses bone tissue as a reservoir for calcium, as well as a source of calcium, to maintain constant concentrations of calcium in blood, muscle and intercellular fluids.3 The remaining 99 % of the calcium supply in the body is stored in the bones and teeth, serving as support for their structure and function.3
Calcium alone cannot keep bones strong - adequate phosphorus levels impact bone health by making bone tissue more resistant to shock and compression.
Phosphate makes up 50 % of bone tissue and helps maintain other body tissues. Phosphorous is an essential ingredient in calcium supplements to promote bone strength and remodeling.4
More than 57 % of the population does not meet the United States Department of Agriculture requirements for magnesium in their diet.
Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control and blood pressure regulation.5-7 It contributes to the structural development of bone and is required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA and the antioxidant, glutathione.
Magnesium also plays a role in the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes, a process that is important to nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction and normal heart rhythm.8
Cal-Mag Complete was created to be the #1 calcium & magnesium supplement on the planet. Using the absolute best chelated Functional Medicine mineral formulas you can feel confident you will be maximizing your benefits a strong & healthy body!
1-2 capsules three times per day or as recommended by your health care professional.
Gluten, yeast, artificial colors and flavors.

Every product on this website was formulated with the mindset that my family and I would be using each nutritional supplement.
When you go into a product formulation knowing that your own family and children will use these products it ensures there will never be any compromise…
Plus, I want only the best for my online community and private practice clients. And, since people come to me for results after failing many times in the past, I have to know that every one of these products are truly the best of the best and will help people on their healing journey…
It's important to understand that not all nutritional supplements are created equal.
For example, in a Functional Medicine practice only methylated or highly bio-available vitamins and minerals will be used in order to make it easy for the body to utilize.
Not only do these formula get better results, but they do not build up as toxins in the body or simply get excreted in the urine like most cheaper forms…
I made a promise to myself when I first started formulating the EquiLife line that I would not compromise on quality…
Even if a product cost me a few more dollars, I would not take any shortcuts in order to make a product for less.
This has enabled EquiLife to set itself apart even in the Functional Medicine community as a leader in the best ingredients used.
Besides never compromising on using the highest quality ingredients available when formulating our nutritional supplements, I make sure that each batch is 3rd Party tested for contaminants like:
This then allows me to be confident when consuming these products myself and knowing that the dosages are what is stated on the bottle.
Again, this leads to better user results and happier customers and wellness clients!
Another way in which the Equilibrium Nutrition supplement line sets itself apart as the leader in the industry is by always producing fresh orders every couple of months.
Our products do not sit in warehouses for over a year…
Instead we maintain freshness with smaller continuous batch orders along with climate controlled fulfillment centers.
This guarantees purity, freshness, and taste.
This is a difference you can both see and taste with every bottle!
At EquiLife we strive to provide the fastest and most convenient shipping available!
Since I know you're going to absolutely love and see & feel the difference by using the Equi.Life supplement line I've formulated for my private practice, my family, and online community I'm happy to offer you my "Empty Bottle Guarantee!"
This means if you don't see or feel the results you were looking for, or just don't believe this was the absolute best product in its class that you've ever used, simply ship back the empty bottles, within 60 days of your purchase, for 100% of your product purchase price (not including S&H).
My team and I firmly believe in putting our clients and customers first, and we only want the best for you in your wellness, weight loss & anti-aging goals!
I have to take calcium since I had thyroid cancer and my parathyroid removed. I've tried several different types over the years. I'm pretty impressed with this one because I had been having muscle twitching of late and as soon as I started this calcium, it went away. If only it weren't quite so expensive. Since I have to take 6 a day, I go through this small bottle pretty fast.
Started this on recommendation from the health coach after receiving lab results back. Haven't noticed any major changes, but will continue to take for the recommended time :) Easy to take capsules.
I have always taken calcium and magnesium. Now instead of taking 2 separate pills I only have to take 1.
I like to use cal/mag combo
Great supplement to help you sleep and prevent bone loss

I suspect a large part of this is that only 'the authorities' are to be permitted to control aerial camera platforms.
As much as I agree that the FAA rules are inconsistent, it must be said that the some regulations are needed. Over the last few months, I've seen a quad copter flown need an endangered California Condor in a national park and a quad copter flown over a crowd in Central Park in high winds. Both exceeded what I would have thought were reasonable boundaries by the operators.
So, here we have a technology that has advanced enough that everyone can afford one, but the ethics around usage (noise, safety, privacy, environmental) haven't caught up. Shame on the users and manufacturers for not starting the discussion. I guess folks just want to make money.
Pretty much, they don't give a shit what's buzzing around our heads but as soon as someone puts a camera on it it's a PRIVACY ISSUE. They just aren't willing to come out and say that directly.
I'm not sure why the FAA is concerned with privacy, is it in their mission statement or something? They should just regulate for safety and if someone acts like a creep use the volumes of existing laws to punish it.
I'm more concerned that condos are being built in national parks.
Anything that cuts down on noise is good with me…
Well, perhaps they should control the hobbyist RC planes too. Really any commercial use of the air is within the FAA's purview to regulate, as well as any aviation whatsoever that might impinge on the public safety.
Of course, outlawing even the lightest and most inoffensive toy is silly. They should come up with some weight and/or power limit that defines what it means to be an unregulated toy, because both RC planes and quadcopters can be quite dangerous if abused, especially in populated environments like cities or towns.
Anyone can do aerial photography from an ordinary airplane.
I'm not convinced this is about privacy like some people are saying so much as a way for the FAA or related bodies to make some extra revenue on the side selling permits or making toy drone manufacturers pay a premium to make a toy that requires extra policing
Perhaps from the government's standpoint a drone is a tool of control (and a weapon) and therefor in your hands can be used to neutralize or defeat that control.
I wonder how many laws would actually cover it? There have been a lot of problems over the years with landlords, etc. installing hidden cameras in other people's homes precisely because there were no laws that covered the issue. The anti-peeping laws hadn't been written with technology in mind, so existing laws literally just covered someone standing outside a window, peering in. New laws were written, and I'm assuming that the new laws are now in place in every state (though that may be an assumption too far), but were the new laws written broadly enough to consistently cover cameras on drones? I'd be willing to bet not. Also, there's the difficulty catching drone operators - a guy standing outside your window with a camera, or coming into your home to install a camera, etc. is a lot easier to catch in the act than someone sending over a drone while not even being within line-of-sight.
Plus a decent-sized drone could easily be turned into a weapon, and no one is ready for that.
How's that? Sure, they're potentially weapons and tools of control, but I don't see how having a tool of control/weapon neutralizes the effect of other such devices. I can see how it complicates their effect, but that's something else.
Annoying a protected species is a felony, I believe, no matter how you are doing it.
Just mount some type of firearm on a quadcopter. Bam! Unregulatable.
I wrote that comment in the spirit of TPTB thinking that anything which can potentially be considered a threat to their control as needing to be made either illegal or at least under their ability to take away.
Drones, as one example of neutralizing, can be used by peaceful law-abiding protesters to watch the police who are watching them, to avoid being kettled. And also to record evidence of illegal police activity.
So before quadcoptors, cities had designated areas (usually in parks) hobbyists could fly remote control airplanes and helicoptors, and as far as I could see it was illegal anywhere else.
Then quadcoptors come along and why were people "allowed" to fly them where previous technology couldn't fly? Why can't the quadcoptors be designated to the same areas the planes and helis are?
Also, what makes a quadcoptor a drone or a UAV, but not RC airplanes?
Here is what is so maddening about the FAA rules; there are none. No one is against the regulation of drones. This isn't a regulation vs no regulation argument. What the FAA is doning isn't regulation, it is a blanket ban. We have had commercially available drones forever, and cheap ones for over half a decade. What has the FAA done to regulate this? Not a god damn thing. They have just banned it.
The FAA is asleep at the wheel. Yes, regulation of drones is going to be tricky, but it isn't so tricky that it takes over half of a fucking decade to write out some overly conservative rules and back off from them slowly. Write some god damn rules, make them conservative if you want to be paranoid, but writes some fucking rules. The head of the FAA should have his ass kicked to the curb for such negligence. One of the most interesting technological revolutions as at play here, and the FAA has essentially thrown up its hands, declared the regulation too hard, and declared a blanket ban.
A blanket ban does nothing other than support bad actors and punish enthusiast and entrepreneurs . All of the "scary" scenarios with drones would be illegal anyways under any sane set of rules. This is just ensuring that only the bad uses of drones will be advanced. The head of the FAA should be kicked out so hard his ass doesn't touch the ground until it meets the street, and should be replaced by someone willing to do their actual god damn job.
I don't think that's true. The "guideline" from the FAA was stay under 400 feet and at least 3 miles from an airport or flightpath, although that was decades ago.
The FPV quadcopter trend is completely different from the traditional model airplane hobbyist. Anyone can plunk down a few grand (or less) and fly something far out of sight with no regulation. This is an accident waiting to happen IMHO. I applaud the FAA for using line of sight as a metric. You can't fly an RC plane or copter very far from you without losing sight. Also, these things have Lithium batteries which can catch fire if they crash.
Tough to research, I've never really been sure where to go anytime I need to find city/state laws.
I did find some notes regarding that it can be a question for the property owner. So perhaps I can fly an RC object in my yard, but I cannot overfly my neighbors without permission. And I know for a fact I cannot fly in my local parks unless I'm registered and within the designated area only.
it democratizes it. it gives a potential power to the people that is currently vested in the state (the government has seen how effective their drone program has been abroad and fear greatly that it may be used against them. if any nutter with a remote control plane, a phone, and a gun can assassinate a politician from half way across the country…i imagine that freaks them the fuck out)

Please put the shiny objects down and return to solid blogging habits.
So much of the web is cookie cutter in design and function. I'm not into a lot of bling on a blog. My rule of thumb is: "If it blinks its gone" If a tiny person suddenly walks on my screen and starts talking to me they are quickly X'd and will never again be on my monitor.
Yeah a Slide Show
You want a flash slide show. Okay, are you willing to pay the price for it? There's a price? There is always a price. It does depend on how the slide show is called. But repeated calls going out to the images is one thing that can slow down your site for someone on a slow connection. Unless you are running a photo blog people are coming for information not for a slide show.
Let me put this in perspective for you. Remember when you would go to a relatives for dinner and after dinner they would drag out the albums, slide projector and screen, or hours and hours of home movies? Do you remember how you felt like you had just been ambushed?
That's the kind of experience you could be creating for those coming to "your house" website.
If it is small, in the header or sidebar, Okay. Better yet, used in an occasional post about an event or place. The slide shows in a post will eventually migrate off the home page. The ones in the header . . . at least update the images from time to time.
Is Your Site a Vegas Strip Club
We all love the blinking flashing "You Win" stuff that Pops UP when we go to certain sites. Believe it or not I still see stuff like that on real estate websites. I find a lot of it on Active Rain accounts, but at least there it is pretty isolated from people looking for real content. Active Rain is more like a community forum supporting RE agents like a chat room. IMHO. Please, no gif animations, no java script motion or active X applications to throw warning signs at the people you are trying to attract to you through your site.
Commodore 64 Music
Oh, yeah, the organ grinder, video game music is still around on some RE Agent sites. I do enjoy the nostalgic second when my mind is thrown back to early video games on the Commodore 64. But after the millisecond has passed, I'm hitting the back button during the second millisecond and bookmarking the site as BANNED FOR LIFE during the third.
Where To Put It
If you want to have any of this stuff on your site. Get a different site from your business site and put it all there. Have as much fun as you want. All the cute birds moving, school busses flashing and organ sounding music can live together in peace and black light poster harmony. Flash a FREE FREE FREE CMA to your hearts content.
Happy April First 🙂

In a move that will be disappointing to some, but surprising to few, sophomore running back Jordan Fredericks will reportedly transfer from the Syracuse football program, according to Matt Schneidman of the Daily Orange.
Syracuse running back Jordan Fredericks will transfer, his mother tells @DOsports. He's the fifth player to do so this season.
— Matt Schneidman (@matt_schneidman) December 12, 2016
Fredericks is one of the more high profile players who has decided to leave the team, along with starting cornerback Corey Winfield. Fredericks burst onto the scene as a true freshman, leading Syracuse in 607 yards and scoring four touchdowns. His 607 yards were the best on the team in 2015.
However, this season he was relegated to third string status, getting just 28 carries all season, picking up 139 yards without finding the endzone as fellow true sophomore Dontae Strickland as well as true freshman Moe Neal both passed him for playing time. With both players back next season, as well as the addition of class of 2017 running backs Markenzy Pierre, BJ Daniels, and Allen Stritzinger, the writing certainly seemed to be on the wall.
It remains to be seen why Fredericks fell down the depth chart, but the reports were that he came to camp a bit out of shape this spring, which put him behind his teammates, and apparently was just not a fit for the Dino Babers offense.
Good luck to Fredericks wherever he lands, as he's a talented runner who just got caught in a numbers game, ultimately.

This page needs a lot of updates. I am not taking freelance projects any more. I am doing a full-time job now. It will take sometime for me to update this page. Except that, this page still gives a good idea about me.
About me in a tweet:
Helloo… I am V.V.K.Chandra,
29 now. I live in India. I am a blogger, techie, regular book reader, wanna be writer, aspiring entrepreneur.
More on the subject of me:
I am an electronics and communications engineer by qualification. After graduating in 2004, I worked as a lecturer for three months at the same college where I studied. Fortunately or unfortunately, in Jan 2005, I landed into one of the India's major IT services companies and thus became a software engineer which is a dream job for most of the engineering graduates in India.
Somehow the initial euphoria of getting into job, earning good money did not last long. Slowly the idea of being on my own started to develop. Finally a day had come when I was so desperate to move out of the day job and do something different from going to a regular day job. If you ask me what made me to leave the job, my answer would be a simple 'I do not know exactly'. But looking back I can say dissatisfaction with job, doing something on my own were the primary factors which influenced my decision.
After quitting, I worked as a freelance web designer and developer. Successfully finished few web development projects for clients. Frankly, my idea was not to get into freelancing stuff, but to get into Web 2.0. But somehow that did not happen. I never managed to do what I initially intended when I left the job. Anyways no regrets what so ever, though there are few moments where I wish I could have stayed at the job. I have learned a lot of new stuff that I am sure I would not have in such a short time if I was in a job.
Coming to a bit of personal stuff, I love computers, technology, programming, books, writing, and of course blogging. Writing seems to fascinate me these days more than anything else can. And a fact I am shameless to brag about here is: my first twelve years of formal education was in my native language, Telugu. That means I studied English as a second language or in other words to somehow pass the English exam. Yet I seem to manage quite well with my writing. If you find any errors in my writing, do let me know. I am continuously trying to improve my writing skills.
Enough gasconade, I can't end this small bio of mine without writing a special note to my friends and well-wishers. For all you guys I wanna say – "don't worry, I will be fine, down the line after a few years" At least I am happy though I am not earning any real money. Thanks for your support till now and I hope you will continue to do so.
Thank you very much for reading. If you have a blog or website and you think the content I write here helps your readers, please do add me to your blogroll.

On Wednesday, the National Union of Kuwaiti Students launched a popular campaign against normalisation with the Israeli occupation under the title "Kuwaiti against normalisation".
On Thursday, the Union of Kuwaiti Students distributed huge announcements in the streets of Kuwait to combat all forms of normalisation with the Israeli occupation.
The announcements included a warning against academic normalisation with the occupation under the cover of research and knowledge cooperation between Arabs and Israel and pointed out that "just dealing with Israel as a state and not as occupation is normalisation in itself."

The Union, which is controlled by Islamists in Kuwait, announced the convening of a seminar against normalisation next Tuesday (06/02/2018).
It is worth noting that the National Union of Kuwaiti Students is a student organisation which was established on December 24, 1964 to represent students of the State of Kuwait who are studying both inside and outside the country. The Union consists of branches that are annually managed by elected administrative bodies, the largest of which is the branch of the University of Kuwait.

Then the tree doesn't have to act all embarrassed and play it off like it meant to do that.
So did my followers (hi Mom!) stop reading because I stopped posting or did I stop posting because they stopped reading? Um, both. When a blog is created to post adventures in grad school and then the author graduates…well, it loses its purpose doesn't it?
Until said graduate gets a job (albeit, a pretty cool job) that doesn't really allow her to write much. Then her fingers start to get a little itchy.
Here's to that satisfying scratch.

Formed in 1988 as the Giant Polar Bears in England, they soon changed their name to The Charlottes. They released three singles (on Molesworth, Subway, and Cherry Red) followed by a full length entitled Love Happy and Things Come Apart in 1990. (Subway and Cherry Red)
Musically they sound like the lost link between female fronted noisy indie pop and full blown chainsaw guitar shoegaze. Not only were they a John Peel Favorite but the drummer Simon Scott went on to join Slowdive. Guitarist Garham Gargiulo went on to form Barefoot Contessa; no not the foodie show, the band.

I submitted my Clint Eastwood signed photo (Yeah, the $500.00 dollar one.) today to PSA/DNA for authentication. Lets see what they think.
Welcome back El Bueno!
In my view as well as many others PSADNA are not dependable with their autograph opinions!
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2006 Kinda Sorta GenuineBy NEIL A. MARTINSOMETIMES, EVEN THE EXPERTS CAN BE FOOLED.Take James Spence, one of the country's foremost sports-autograph experts. When a Fox-television news affiliate in Philadelphia asked him to verify the signatures on six baseballs signed by sports greats, he gave a firm thumbs-up to one apparently signed by former Phillies third-baseman Mike Schmidt. "Very, very typical of the way he would sign," he told the station's reporter. "Good speed, good letter formation, and reflects authority and spontaneity." Informed that the station's resident graphic artist had forged Schmidt's signature the day before, Spence could only reply: "He did a fine job."That awkward episode unfolded a few years ago, when Spence headed up an autograph-authentication unit of Collectors Universe, a big player in collectibles whose stock is traded on Nasdaq (ticker: CLCT). Though Spence has since moved on, forming his own firm, the credibility of the unit, PSA/DNA, has increasingly drawn scrutiny. It is now battling two lawsuits challenging the integrity of certain authentications it made. And the company has taken an unusual flogging in the publications of two prestigious collectors' organizations."It's not uncommon to see a PSA/DNA [expert] 'authenticating' an autograph that is certainly not authentic," says a scathing article in the current issue of Pen and Quill, a magazine of the Universal Autograph Collectors' Club. It cited more than a dozen cases of what it called authentication foul-ups, including validation of a preprinted signature of Franklin D. Roosevelt, two Neil Armstrong forgeries and "autopen," or machine-signed, signatures of George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan and Bruce Springsteen.Collectors Universe stands by its work and says the Pen and Quill article has many factual errors."Credibility is our biggest asset and our reputation is the core of our business," Michael Haynes, chief executive of Collectors Universe, told a group of institutional investors at a recent corporate seminar in New York.The PSA/DNA autograph unit, which, as its name suggests, counts DNA analysis among its tools, contributes less than 5% of revenues. But its verification services have been a model for the rest of the company, so the controversies involving the unit could have broad implications for the company's image.The sparring began last year when William Daniels, a long-time collector and dealer of sports memorabilia in Lebanon, Ind., filed a suit against PSA/DNA and online auctioneer MastroNet. The suit, now in the discovery phase in Boone County (Indiana) Superior Court, accuses PSA/DNA of fraud in connection with verifying the authenticity of some 2,000 autographed glossy color photographs of sports figures that Daniels purchased for nearly $20,000 in a catalog auction from MastroNet in December 2004.Each photo came with a letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. But, Daniels claims, some 65% of the photos turned out to be damaged, tattered, torn and creased, with signatures smeared or otherwise illegible. When he asked PSA/DNA about this, he claims, he was told by one of its authenticators that the firm had never actually reviewed the photos. Instead, according to Daniels, PSA/DNA had supplied MastroNet with blank letters of authenticity, leaving it to the auctioneers to fill in the details."This business is based on trust and faith and PSA/DNA is supposed to be a reliable third-party verifier," Daniels said in an interview. "But how can they verify something they don't look at? "MastroNet president Doug Allen says the claim that PSA/DNA didn't review the items is "a total fabrication." He said MastroNet records show that PSA/DNA authenticators were on the premises. He added that his firm had offered early on to reimburse Daniels if he would identify and return damaged photos, but that Daniels refused. Haynes, the Collectors Universe CEO, says his firm has no control of "the care and handling of items by the auction house or by the common carrier that may have delivered the items."Meanwhile, Collectors Universe was sued by a former employee, William Miller, for millions of dollars for issuing more than 14,000 certificates of authenticity bearing his name that were used without his permission to verify the legitimacy of various sports memorabilia. The company essentially blames an administrative glitch.This past November, a jury in Superior Court of California found in Miller's favor on the unauthorized use of his name, but the judge refused to rule on a damages claim, leaving it up to appeals court to settle the matter. The judge did award Miller $14,060, $1 per signature, representing Collector's Universe's profits on the autographs. Miller is appealing and asking for $750 per signature, or more than $10 million.Senior Vice President of Finance Mike Lewis says the company "failed to adequately stop the flow" of the certificates after Miller said he no longer wanted his names on them. However, the firm believes that Miller suffered no damages and therefore there is "nothing to rectify," Lewis says.THE RECENT ARTICLES IN THE TWO collectors' magazines have only added to the questions about the company. The bi-monthly Pen and Quill, put out by the oldest autograph collectors' club in the world, has published what amounts to a five-page indictment of PSA/DNA's authentication process, entitled "Who's Watching the Watchmen.""It has become apparent that PSA/DNA has some weakness in authenticating autographs outside the sports field -- as well as some glaring oversights from within the sports area," writes author Steve Zarelli, a member of the collectors club. "It's not uncommon to see a PSA/DNA [expert] 'authenticating' an autograph that is certainly not authentic."Zarelli told of a collector who successfully bid for a game-used bat belonging to Ernie Banks, complete with a certificate of authentication from PSA/DNA. "What autograph?" Zarelli writes, "The bat isn't signed by anyone." Similarly, a "signed" Mark McGwire baseball card, authenticated and graded by PSA/DNA, turned out to be a rubber-stamped signature rather than hand-written, he writes.In keeping with the club's policies, a draft of the article was sent to Joe Orlando, president of PSA/DNA, for review before publication. But according to club president Michael Hecht, a Pasadena, Calif.-based Smith Barney stock broker by trade and longtime autograph collector by avocation, Orlando provided only a general response. "He sent me an e-mail saying they didn't believe what we wrote was true but to go ahead and publish it and be damned," Hecht says."Some dealers said it was finally about time that someone said what we wrote," Hecht added.Lewis of Collectors Universe said Orlando told the club the article was "filled with factual errors and opinions stated as fact." The company declined to discuss the supposed errors in detail, either for Penn and Quill or for Barron's.Shortly after the Pen and Quill article came out, another collectors organization weighed in. The Manuscript Society, an elite New York-based organization of collectors of historical documents and manuscripts, reported on the Miller case in its Manuscript Society News, quoting Miller as saying Collectors Universe used him "as a pawn to deceive or even defraud the public. For the rest of my life, I will live with the uncomfortable feeling that at anytime I might be held responsible for someone who authenticated an autograph I never looked at."The controversy surrounding Collectors Universe hasn't received much attention beyond the narrow audience for Pen and Quill and the Manuscript Society News. But that could change soon. Says Ken Lawrence, a stamp expert with the nonprofit American Philatelic Society's expertizing service and a member of the organizations that published both articles, "For both these groups to be warning their members about Collectors Universe at the same time is very unusual and very serious."

Anse Chastanet Delivers Unique Luxury
My first thought as we were landing at Hewanorra International is my goodness this place is beautiful. This volcanic island's scenery is beyond what I could have possibly imagined. The twin peaks stood out right away and I was glad to hear that I would have a great view from where I would be staying - Anse Chastanet.
As I am getting settled into my room I noticed a pleasant surprise; everything and I mean literally everything has been locally made or handcrafted. The bedspread and cushions are made from the national cloth called madras. The furniture was mahogany, red cedar, wild breadfruit and other local woods. It is always so great to see the use of local resources as so many resorts have seemed to escape their identity.
St-Lucians are by nature a very polite, pleasant people. The staff at Anse Chastanet however are beyond polite. Every employee I encountered seemed to go beyond any expectation and cater to every need I could possibly desire.
As if my surroundings of lush tropical settings weren't enough I had to get a massage at Kai Belte Spa to really reconnect with nature. The new spa setting, Kai Mer is high on the hill right above the coral reefs of Anse Chastanet Bay. I decided on a swedish massage and could not feel more relaxed once it was over.
Once relaxed and rejuvenated I thought I would try some activities. Anse Chastanet has so much to offer. From scuba diving to bird watching I can see why so many of the guests decide to return just to see the rest of the island as there are so many things to do right there on the resort.
All in all I would have to recommend this resort to everyone and anyone due to the fact that not once did I have an unpleasant experience. Great weather, great people, great resort. Discover St-Lucia at Anse Chastanet.

"An extremely useful and timely work. Echolocation in Bats and Dolphins is a thorough volume that will make a significant contribution to both bat and dolphin research. Historically, the two fields of research have followed different paths and development, and this volume highlights those differences, which will no doubt benefit researchers in both fields. In addition, it is a wonderful forum for updating scientists in both fields as to the state of the art in the other. The editors are to be commended for their thorough and logical treatment of the deceptively broad topic of echolocation in these two diverse taxa."
"The book's enormous scope covers how noises are made and analysed, how young animals learn to process such information and much more. Its style is technical but there is enough introductory material to bring you up to speed on biophysics. Those already familiar with either dolphins or bats will find this book provides both a fine update on recent research and a fabulous peek into a parallel world. For the more general biologist it provides fascinating insights into the similarities and divergences in the evolution of these mammalian masters of air and sea."
"The list of authors contains many of the leading researchers, as well as young scientists who will be the leading researchers of tomorrow. This volume would serve as a good introduction to current research on biological sonar for nonspecialists or students, as well as a "must have" collection of papers for biological sonar researchers."
