By Meredith Goad email@example.com
Staff Writer
No one can ever accuse Ken Macgowan of not having a sense of humor.
With general manager Beth Poitras, left, new Porthole Restaurant & Pub owner Ken Macgowan talks about the planned April 1 opening. Macgowan's son Garrett, right, stopped by with daughter Aria, 11 months, to check out the improvements.
Gordon Chibroski/Staff Photographer
Guy Fieri left his mark when his Food Network show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" visited the old Porthole in 2011. New owner Ken Macgowan said he plans to preserve the image in the restaurant's newly renovated space.
Gordon Chibroski/Staff Photographer
The new owner of the Porthole on Custom House Wharf, a restaurant that was closed down last fall because of a rat infestation and other issues, has been busy gutting, updating and expanding the kitchen, and doing everything else that needs to be done to bring the restaurant back and repair its not-so-appetizing reputation.
His target opening date? April 1, a choice he says is "the greatest April Fool's joke in the world." He adds, laughing, that's he's considered putting something like ratatouille on the opening day menu.
Despite the jokes, when it comes to turning the Porthole back into one of the city's most popular breakfast and brunch spots, Macgowan is completely serious.
"We're not afraid to bring up the rat issue," he said. "If someone comes in and says 'What about the rats?' we're going to tell them what we did to take care of that issue. Come out to our kitchen. We'll welcome you into our kitchen and you can see what we're doing in there. We're going to have a nice kitchen, and it's going to be open. If anybody wants to go out and meet the chef, he's going to be fully available."
The chef at the new Porthole Restaurant & Pub will be Jesse Poirier, a Portland native who has worked at some of the city's best-known restaurants, including Miyake, Cinque Terre, Vignola and the Front Room Restaurant and Bar. After stints as executive sous chef and executive chef at some restaurants in Florida, Poirier returned to Maine in 2010 and helped re-open and redesign the menus at Diamond's Edge and the Falmouth Sea Grill.
Poirier said he thinks the re-opening of the Porthole, along with the efforts of his former boss, Harding Lee Smith, to open a seafood restaurant at the old Boone's on Custom House Wharf, will "bring some new life" into the area.
"I'm very excited to be a part of this," he said, "and kind of help rebuild what we lost over the last year."
Why would a businessman like Macgowan want to tackle reopening the Porthole when he's never owned a restaurant before, which is something like going to bat for the Sea Dogs when you've seen plenty of baseball but have never actually played the game? And what are the challenges he's facing?
Macgowan had a couple of reasons for wanting to buy the Porthole. First of all, Custom House Wharf has been in his family for decades, and his stepfather, John Macgowan, was one of the original owners of the Porthole, running the place after the Korean War, through the 1950s and early 1960s. (Family rumor has it the Porthole first opened in 1929.)
At that time, the Casco Bay Lines ferries were docking at Custom House Wharf.
"Back then, people could come down here and wait for the ferries, and it was more like the old (Miss Portland) diner, just a long, skinny room with a counter," Macgowan said. "You had a couple of pinball machines and a jukebox, and you came in and got your bottle of soda and a toasted cheese sandwich or a hot dog and got your butt out of here. I don't think he was open at breakfast time."
But it's breakfast that the restaurant ultimately became known for, and that's the reason Macgowan wants to bring it back to life. When former owner Oliver Keithly decided he'd had enough, about seven or eight other restaurateurs contacted Macgowan wanting to take over the Porthole, "and I did get the feeling from every one of them that they didn't want to make it a breakfast place," Macgowan said.

Oakland Athletics vs Texas Rangers Pick
Combatants in the AL West continue their pivotal four-game set in Arlington on ESPN's Wednesday Night Baseball betting festivities, as the Oakland Athletics and the Texas Rangers duke it out.
Oakland is a heck of a team, and it just keeps showing the resiliency that is going to be needed to get into the playoffs this year. The team has a couple games of safety in the loss column, but both the Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Angels are charging hard down the stretch.
Tampa Bay Rays vs Boston Red Sox Pick
The Tampa Bay Rays will make one last push at a spot in the playoffs in the AL East starting on Tuesday night in MLB betting action when they send their ace to the hill against the Boston Red Sox.
Tampa Bay has won five in a row, but it pretty much might have to win out to get into the playoffs. The Baltimore Orioles are four games in front of it, while the Oakland Athletics, though slumping, are still three up.
Oakland Athletics vs Texas Rangers Picks
The Oakland Athletics hope to take one more step towards clinching a spot in the playoffs this year in MLB betting action when they duke it out with the Texas Rangers on Monday night.
The A's just had a bad weekend in the Big Apple, as they lost two out of three and lost a couple games in the Wild Card standings to both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Angels. They still hold a comfortable three-game edge in the loss column against the Halos and four on the Rays, but this is the first of seven games against the Rangers left to play this year.
MLB Network Thursday Night Baseball Pick: Los Angeles @ Washington
Two teams that could very well turn out to be playoff foes in the National League meet on Thursday night for MLB betting action, as the Washington Nationals hope to take out the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Dodgers really haven't been all that great since the mega deals a month ago that brought so many new faces to their team. They're out of the NL West race at this point, but they still have a decent chance of getting in as a Wild Card.
ESPN Wednesday Night Baseball Pick: Texas @ Los Angeles
Arch rivals from the AL West meet on Wednesday night for MLB betting action when the Los Angeles Angels play host to the Texas Rangers.
Texas once looked like a lock for the playoffs, but at least right now, it is somewhat up in the air. Sure, the Rangers still hold the best record in the American League, and time is running out for other teams to catch up, but there are just three games worth of safety between them and the Oakland Athletics for first place in the AL West, and just 3.5 more games back to the Halos, who are just on the outside of the postseason.
Athletics @ Tigers Baseball Free Pick
The AL playoff chase will take another turn on Tuesday night for MLB betting action in Motown, where the Detroit Tigers will host the Oakland Athletics in the first game of a crucial three-game set.
Not only is Oakland really starting to look the part of a playoff team, but it is closing in quickly on the Texas Rangers for the AL West lead as well. The A's have the second best record in the National League, and they have 4.5-games of safety over the Los Angeles Angels, who are the first team on the outside of the playoffs looking in at the moment.
Philadelphia Phillies @ New York Mets Free MLB Pick
The surging Philadelphia Phillies look to keep their name in the hat for the NL Wild Card with a series in Flushing starting on Monday, as they take on the New York Mets in a battle for MLB betting fans to enjoy.
It is amazing to think that even after trading Shane Victorino, even after trading Joe Blanton, and even after trading Hunter Pence, that even at one-game under .500, the Phillies are still in the thick of the fight for the last Wild Card slot in the National League.
Tigers @ White Sox Baseball Free Pick
With all of the talk going on right now in the AL East, we tend to forget that there is a crucial series going on right now in the AL Central for MLB betting fans as well, and that series continues on Thursday night between the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox.
Very quietly, Detroit has taken the first two games of this series, and now it has a chance to get back in a first place tie in the AL Central if it can win this game. To make matters even better, the squad's best pitcher, Justin Verlander is going to be on the bump.

Ring your cow bells and we will still beat you for 12th year in a row. Bulldogs ringing cow bells. What the hell is that about?
Some quick back story:
1. Mississippi State fans didn't do a great job of adhering to the league's anti-noisemaker policy early last season.
2. Threatened further with the loss of their beloved bells, things improved in Starkville. "Mississippi State's enforcement of the artificial noisemaker policy improved greatly during the season," SEC associate commissioner Charles Bloom said.
3. This week in Destin the SEC's ADs voted to outlaw State's cowbells… but then a majority of the league's coaches voted to give MSU fans another chance to prove they can "ring responsibly."
4. The ADs changed their vote and recommended to the presidents — who will vote on the matter today — to allow the bells to stay.
But you can count LSU chancellor Michael Martin as one who'll be voting against the cowbells today:
"When does a tradition become an annoyance? From what we've been told, they had some problems with the new rule in the games last season. It's an artificial noisemaker, and people were ringing them during play, which is against the rules. …
It may be time for State to adjust. I think it's similar to a lot of schools who have had to change their nicknames for various reasons. Sometimes you have to move on."
As we've said before, MSU fans should be made to ring the bells only during stoppages of play. If they don't show more respect for the rules than that, then they themselves will have forfeited the right to ring their bells.
However, in answer to Martin's "when does a tradition become an annoyance" question: When it's someone else's tradition.
Perhaps Martin should spend a bit more time and energy trying to prevent his own school's fans from terrorizing opposing teams' buses as they attempt to enter the grounds of Tiger Stadium. That's a "tradition" that's well past annoying.

nice restaurant – nice place but still improvements are needed!
Trendy-fun Thai in Cow Hollow. – With it's glowing walls, gleaming white chairs and throbbing electronic music, this trendy Thai spot feels like a nightclub in Miami, in a good way. There's a tendency in this city to write off any Thai spot that's not perfectly traditional, or some charming hole-in-the-wall, as being unworthy, but don't tell that to the throngs of people who love this place as much for its specialty dishes--volcanic beef, anyone?--as for its reasonable prices, full bar and party atmosphere.
Oh dear, I so wanted to love this restaurant. Everything could have been so right too.
I love Thai, they're near my work, and the prices are about what I'm used to paying for lunch.
Where did it all go wrong? Sadly, I had a really unreasonable waitress for one. Being that I'm already in a rush since I have a limited lunch hour, I really didn't appreciate the unorganized chaos.
Best Thai in SF – If you are visiting San Francisco on vacation, you gotta check out Osha Thai. Get the fried chicken fried rice :)
Thai – The space is really the big draw here. I love the look and feel of this restaurant. I go to the Phoenix next door a lot more than Osha, but I always love the interesting natural walls that surround the dinning area. The food is also great of course with good sizes and a lot of great dishes.
I really like the ambiance of this place. Very hip, chill and comfy. Food is great; presentations are beautiful and portions are generous. My fav is the volcanic beef. The only thing that I don't like is the plastic chairs - not in synch with the decor, and lends a feeling of coldness (like you're in a vet hospital) to an otherwise relaxed atmosphere. These chairs also seem very cheap, as if they paid $9.99 for each one. Just replace the chairs with wooden ones, and this place will be golden.
We at Osha Thai Restaurant & Bar on Union thank you for your comments and praise of our newest restaurant. Unfortunately, the chairs were not to your satisfaction. Fortunately, you had an enjoyable evening, and the chairs are replaceable. One of the few easy things for a restaurant to review.
best thai food in san francisco – what an amazing dining experience! i made reservations for a table of 2 at 9 pm but decided to show up early and was seated in about 15 minutes. the bar/sitting area is stylish and helps the wait time go by fast. the staff was very friendly and accommodating. the food? spectacular. i dont eat meat so i had the pad thai with tofu. i was also able to order the dish non-spicy. my boyfriend got the volcanic beef (apparently a favorite at the restaurant) and was more than pleased. he said the steak was done to perfection. the decor is hip and the restaurant was great. the only thing that takes a little getting used to are the plastic chairs.
We are delighted that you had a pleasureable experience with us at the newest Osha location in San Francisco.
I guess except for the chairs (they were the owners second choice), you either love them or hate them or just sit in them. We will pass this on to the staff to let them know how they are doing.

A Cool Place with Great Thai Food – Tried the new location and the decor was modern & chic. Had the Wasabi Beef Rolls and it was delicious. The cocktails were original and tasted good too! Will definitely go back soon!
Thank you for experiencing the newest of the Osha family of restaurants. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Yay! Osha moved to the neighborhood! – When I first saw the Osha signage go up on the old Amici Pizza space on Union Street, I got VERY excited. I had always had spectacular meals at the Oshas on Geary and on 2nd Street and looked forward to having a location within walking distance of home. We went the first weekend they were open and had an amazing meal and a terrific bottle of wine - all delicious and reasonably priced. The menu has some of our favorites from the other locations and a bunch of unique dishes as well. I was disappointed that my favorite noodle soup from the Geary St. location was missing, but the Volcanic Beef more than made up for that loss. Since then, we've been back several times and always had great service and enjoyed all of our dishes. The decor is very modern and there is a bar/lounge area to wait in should a table not be available when you arrive. This is the Osha you know and love but maybe even better.
Thank you for enjoying the Osha family of restaurants, especially our newest crown jewel. We enjoy seeing our patrons transition from one Osha style to the next, but the original location on Geary always does have that original simplicity about being down home style.

Works pretty well, I was hoping it would remove the black residue under my eyes better. Did remove from the lashes just fine. Burned a little. Probably would not order again, sorry. I love your other products.
- Mary (April 2nd, 2014)
While I love Bioelements, this remover fell short for me. I found myself tugging at my eyes to completely remove my mascara and I experience some burning as well. I found that the cream clung to my eye resulting in another wash wash to remove it all.
- Caroline (October 13th, 2013)
Im an esthetician and we uses the biolelements line when I was back in school.Some products I like others not so much! I tried this makeup remover thinking it would be more gentle then makeup dissolver and it burned my eyes both times I tried it,very disappointed :( wouldnt recommend especially if you have sensitive eyes or wear contacts

We're sorry you had this experience. Gentle Creme Eye Makeup Remover is Opthlamologist Tested for irritancy and sensitivity. However, there's always a chance that an individual can have a sensitivity or allergy to a particular ingredient in any skin care formula. This may be the case here.

Catering >Rogue Brew Pub & Eatery
31500 NW Commercial St, North Plains, OR | Directions 9713345.597608 -123.001638
We'll Be Back – This last weekend a friend suggested we go to lunch. He took us to the Rogue Pub. The place didn't look fancy on the outside or the inside but the food and service was fantastic. It's a wonder that these little known places still exists but I'm sure glad they do. We've told all our friends about you and we will be back.
Good Beer Good Food Awful Management – I used to love this place i went there before i was once an employee i have both bartended and cooked at this location. The food is top notch the beer is good i like all the patrons and the community is strong. I, however, do not like the manager/owner. She takes this place and has no respect for it i have heard what she says about the residents of this community behind closed doors. I personally think she thinks of this as nothing more than a real-estate investment. I was given a letter at one point in time telling me to quit because she didn't want to subtract my garnishments from my check(legally not acceptable) i was later banned from the property for coming back to claim my personal property i luckily got it back. I would not hesitate to call the cops on the owner for any offense. The entertainment was good and the food as i said is delicious for bar fare.
Service Sux, But Good Food – Great menu. Good food. Well worth the visit. You just need to bring a bell or bull horn in to this place to get the attention of the help in order to take your order. Once it's on your table, you're in heaven, but, unfortunately, you still remember the hell of having to be ignored by uncaring waitresses. They need to hire better help, or at least train them better in customer service.
Yum... – It's all about the Elephant Garlic Burger. It comes with this delicious creamy garlicy tasting sauce and some kind of salami, and it is amazing. My husband and I are enamored with it.. so is everyone we bring to the Rogue Pub to try it. We go on Mondays, when it's 1/2 off. They have lots of good beer on tap, like Widmer and Dead Guy Ale. It's kind of a hole in the wall type place, down home not so fancy and I love it. My only complaint is the poor service.

Santa is trading in his sleigh for a military airplane.
He loaded tens of thousands of toys into a Blue Angels support plane and headed to New Jersey.
The toys were donated through the "Toys for Tots" program. They were given to children affected by Hurricane Sandy.
"Families still want to have a holiday regardless of where they're staying -- whether they're in a hotel room, or whether they're couch surfing with family and friends, they still want to have a holiday," said Tara Maffei, United Way Of Monmouth County. "So, this is really going to help us to provide that holiday to people."
In addition to helping families, Toys for Tots is assisting local charities in New York and New Jersey collect Christmas gifts.

Because of the new rules brought about by the owners opting out of the collective bargaining agreement, the timeline to become an unrestricted free agent has moved from four years of accrued experience to six. Because of that fundamental change, the vast majority of the top free agents will be restricted. In this year's Scout.com rankings, 31 of the top 50 are restricted. Last year, only three of the top 50 were restricted.
A recent review by The Associated Press found that 212 players who would have been unrestricted free agents now will be restricted. That list includes eight Pro Bowlers: receivers Miles Austin and Brandon Marshall, linebackers Elvis Dumervil and DeMaco Ryans, safety Nick Collins, guards Logan Mankins and Jahri Evans, and fullback Leonard Weaver.
So, barring a late deal, there will be no salary cap but fewer quality players to spend the money on when free agency opens on March 5. And that list of attractive unrestricted free agents figures to get shorter. Rather than being able to use a franchise tag (average salary of top five players at position; two first-rounders as compensation) or transition tag (average salary of top 10 players at position; no compensation but seven days to match offer), teams will get a franchise tag and two transition tags. Thus, a team could practically lock up three of its unrestricted free agents instead of just one.
That means bidding will be hot and heavy for the top unrestricted free agents who reach the open market.
"The first thing you've got to know is there's no limit to what teams can spend," said Scout.com senior NFL reporter Adam Caplan, who compiled the free agent rankings. "Is that going to affect a lot of teams? Probably not, because they're not going to go crazy. First of all, if you look at the list of unrestricted guys, it's not a very strong list. Is it going to be more toward restricted free agents and will those guys get a lot of interest? I think more than usual, absolutely."
The new rules do not impact a team's right to match another team's offer to its restricted free agents by making a qualifying offer. There are four tender levels — original-round compensation ($1.01 million last year), second round ($1.545 million), first round ($2.198 million) and first and third round ($2.792 million).
That combination of money and draft picks generally was enough to scare away suitors. Last year, for instance, none of the 55 restricted free agents changed teams. But without a salary cap and because the majority of the top players are restricted, that figures to change.
Another interesting change is the "Final Eight Plan," which prevents the top teams from buying a championship. The eight remaining playoff teams can sign an unrestricted free agent only after losing one, and the player they're signing can't get more money than the player they lost. That rule, however, does not apply to restricted free agents.
So, if your team needs a player, where are the positions of depth?
"Wide receiver is phenomenal," Caplan said. "I have Vincent Jackson as my No. 1 guy, and I have Miles Austin over Brandon Marshall, just because Austin is a good kid and Marshall's a pain in the butt. They're both restricted. Terrell Owens is my fourth guy, based on his age. Braylon Edwards and Malcolm Floyd are next. Owens is the only unrestricted guy that's really got a lot of value. Antonio Bryant is unrestricted but I'm not sure how much interest he's going to get. Kevin Walter is unrestricted but is coming off a disappointing season; '08 was very strong. Derrick Mason is getting up there."
For the offensive line, center is weak, with the best of the bunch being 16-year pro Kevin Mawae. Guard is OK, but Evans and Mankins are restricted. Tackle is incredibly strong.
"Here's the problem, though," Caplan said about the tackles, where only the injury-prone Chad Clifton, who turns 34 in June, will be unrestricted among the top 10. "Chad Clifton's unrestricted, but Jammal Brown, I have him as the top guy and he's restricted. Willie Colon is restricted, Marcus McNeill's restricted, Jared Gaither's restricted, Alex Barron's restricted, Tyson Clabo's restricted. There are a lot of good players and it's very deep, but almost all of them are restricted."
On defense, tackle is the best position, with Caplan's top four players — Vince Wilfork, Casey Hampton, Ryan Pickett and Fred Robbins — all unrestricted. Of the top eight ends, only restricted Marcus Spears has less than eight years of experience. Five of the top six middle linebackers are restricted, led by Ryans. Outside linebacker — led by the restricted Dumervil and unrestricted Karlos Dansby — is deep with 4-3 and 3-4 players of various levels of experience. Safety, led by the Oshiomogho Atogwe and Antoine Bethea, is deep but the top six are restricted. Cornerback lacks depth, with the top player being unrestricted Dunta Robinson, who missed 12 games spanning the 2007 and 2008 seasons with a knee injury.
"The cap was $127-plus million, so now you don't have to worry about that," Caplan said, "but it's not going to be the great free agency that people and some of the players expect. That's not going to happen because of what teams have done over the past six to nine months. They're simply keeping their core players. The fringe players or the middle-level free agent, those guys are going to come free, but who's really going to want to spend money on them?"

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 79
The chart shows the quantity of disc golf available to the residents of that state. A higher service level reflects more courses, with more holes, that are nearer to more residents of that state. It includes courses that are in other states, if they are close enough that a player would go play them.
Delaware benefits by being not far from other states that have disc golf courses.
Florida is low on this chart because it has no disc golf courses around it in three directions. In the Midwest, a player can go any direction to find dozens of new courses to play. A player in Miami has few choices.
i believe no matter what formula you or ratings system devise and use there will always be different results based on certain variables. These discussions for me are just a fun way to hear from different people in different parts of the country give their perspective on where it is best to live and be a dger.
OK sorry Iowa haters, I am going to have to step up to defend my home state here. Clearly some folks have not played much disc golf in Iowa. Per capita has more courses than any other state, that in itself should put Iowa in the conversation on this topic. Now, I admit about half of those courses are like the stereotypes perpetuated here in this thread, and probably not worth the trip. But that still leaves a ton of really good courses.
In particular Des Moines, Iowa City/Cedar Rapids, and Quad Cities areas each have a number of outstanding courses with lots of natural beauty and plenty of challenging woods and elevation and water hazards. Walnut Ridge (DM area), Wildcat Bluff (CR area), West Lake (QC area), and Camden 2 (QC, on IL side) always get outstanding reviews from out-of-state golfers. And each of those areas has multiple leagues, very active clubs, and dedicated disc golf retailers.
How about history? Tourist Park in Waterloo/Cedar Falls area was one of the earliest permanent courses in the country (1976, by Ed Headrick). PDGA Worlds were held in Iowa twice, 1989 and 2004, one of only three states to host Worlds in two different cities (TX and OH are the others).
You like tourneys? Read some comments about the First Class Challenge A-Tier in Des Moines last weekend: http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showthread.php?p=862973#post86...
"I've played a fair amount of large events in PDGA and tons of Southern Nationals events. I can't think of another event that comes close to delivering like this one. It's pretty amazing when four courses are in play and the folks in Advanced tell you that shooting around 60 is good golf. I've seen an event highlight one challenging course, but not FOUR....These courses were each unique in their own way, but the one aspect that really stood out was that they were all FAIR. A hole may be very challenging but the course designers didn't feel the need to make them stupid hard or lucky in order to achieve the challenge....Courses rocked...Corey Philips recommended I play Wildcat Bluff. I did today and it is unreal. Iowa Disc Golf is impressive..."
"Ok, All 4 courses I played - incredible, very challenging, beautiful, well laid out. One of the top concentrations of DG I've been. From what I've seen of the country I'd put Des Moines 2nd next to Charlotte. I don't know if I can pick a favorite, they were all great."
"I talked with George Smith quite a bit in the last few weeks about this tournament, and he was certain that I'd love all the courses up there. He also mentioned quite a few times that it was among his all time favorites for out of town tournaments to travel to - up there with the USDGC and the Majestic in terms of events that he wouldn't miss. I really did love all the courses....Could the courses have been more entertaining? If that was possible, I haven't seen a better set of 4 courses played in a big tournament."
Hey Joshua, greetings. I am from Iowa City, mostly I golf in eastern Iowa, once in awhile DM area. When I travel for business or family vacations I try courses in other parts of the country, and I've enjoyed some really great ones for sure (Maple Hill in MA, Seneca Creek in MD, Diamond X in MT would be among my faves), but a lot of the courses I have seen elsewhere just reinforce my appreciation of Iowa disc golf. Still have a lot to see, have not played Mpls MN or Charlotte NC areas for instance, so I look forward to checking out some of the recommendations others may put in this thread!
Best state..depends on your state of mind.If you really enjoy the dg scene happening in your state,you're already there.
Florida is an all year play, more dgcourses are going in ground with variety challenges,terrain is no longer flat land.Old ball courses are being recycled to fit dg play,Sarasota Sky Pilots use Bobby Jones excutive ball course for their annual Pro/Ams tourney,15th yr,.The brick/mortar & online dg stores are keeping abreast of the needs of their local disc golfers and out of state customers.
As DPS mentioned when traveling ,take note of your surroundings.Post your negative/positive results,we just might find that the nirvana state is our own backyard.hit chains ;>}

Effective and great value for money
- (26 / Oct / 2013)
I bought this bundle just over a week ago. I am an extremely overweight female (8 stone plus to lose!). I was initially calorie counting and had lost over a stone but then the weight just wasn't coming off despite being incredibly strict and going to the gym (cardio and heavy weights) 4-5 times per week. Frustrated, I bought this bundle, stopped calorie counting and switched to a clean eating plan.
The shake mixes very well. I only tend to have one to two daily but I find it really tasty and easy to drink (although perhaps its a little bit too sweet). I don't have much to say about the multivitamin, does what it says on the tin I guess. I felt the thermopure tablets made the greatest difference. I have so much more energy in the gym and sweat buckets. I feel like I can really do much more than I previously could. It weird I feel really motivated once I take these, it really gives you a great energy boost. If you look at the price of these tablets alone then really the bundle is great value for money. I can't speak for the creatinine as I haven't used it (my husband uses this).
Anyway in one week I have lost 8 pounds! I am delighted and it really has given me the boost I need to push ahead with my (rather overwhelming!) weight loss goals. Arguably, a few different factors have probably contributed to this weight loss i.e. change in diet, however I do feel the bundle gave me the extra support I needed to achieve this.
Hopefully I will come back in a few months time with some more good news!
Very good bundle
- (07 / Oct / 2013)
I bought this as my goal is to try and cut fat.
I'll start with the protein first - this is helping and results are definitely being gained. The taste is good too but is incredibly sweet, use more liquid, milk or chuck a cup of black coffee in there. I received chocolate smooth flavour and mixes fantastically.
Creatine - gains are definately being noticed and mixes really well with the protein as it's tasteless.
Multivitamins - they do what they do, I'm feeling healthier in myself and as a rule I always take just before dinner. Goes well with any drink.
Thermopure - not had the bundle long so haven't noticed much gains yet with the thermopure. It does give slight heartburn and makes me sweat a lot more at the gym. Apart from that they seem really good.
I will definitely be getting this again.
Lean Essentials Bundle
- (06 / May / 2013)
I needed a quick boost for my summer body, so tried the Lean Essentials Bundle. I'm 2 weeks into it so far, and I've seen pretty effective results. I'm looking leaner, which I'm assuming this is mostly the thermopure, and I'm looking bigger thanks to the creatine and the protein. There's little aching after long workouts - previously where I used to ache, there is now little pain. I've lost 3kg of fat in roughly 2 weeks. Ultimately, this package is brilliant, but does require work. My workouts are strenuous, with little breaks. My strength has mostly stayed the same, but I guess we will see a change in the long run. Overall I'd recommend this product.
The protein goes so well with milk, and actually makes a great substitute for those craving chocolate. However, if you are more overweight, then have it with water, as it still tastes good, but just not on the same level. As milk contains a relatively high amount of natural sugars, for fastest results perhaps just have it with water. Goes Well With:Milk, complex carbs, and lots more protein!
Good Value Bundle
- (28 / Apr / 2013)
The protein mixes well with just a shaker. The creatine mohydrate does the job. I'm not too sure the thermopure is adding value other than getting me a bit hotter and sweatier during cardio. I have been training for a few months without any supplements and after starting this bundle I can definitely see a change/progression in the results, so I think it is working for me. As said in a previous review though, the size of the bundle is my only issue. A bundle with everything a little bigger would be better for me. But it is good value for money and good starter bundle for anyone wanting to try out the Myprotein products. I'll definitely be using Myprotein again.Goes Well With:Impact whey goes well with Milk or water.
Creatine mohydrate goes well with grape juice/water.
Excellent Stuff
You Mirin
- (23 / Apr / 2013)
The protein in the Lean Essentials Bundle itself is a fantastic product and I've enjoyed it and has a really nice smooth taste. It blends well, shakes well and doesn't come out lumpy.
Thermopure tablets - I haven't had much use for them so can't comment on them.
Creatine is a great product and includes instructions on how to use / cycle it which is nice. It mixes well and does the job. As a person that prefers powder creatine I really liked this touch to the bundle.
Daily Vitamins - simple, does what it says on the tin, 1 a day, no problem, saves having to buy other multivitamins.
Overall, a fantastic bundle! Would buy again for sure but would want a bigger quantity of the protein so may buy the 5kg bag as it runs out quite quick if you're like me and have at least 3 scoops a day.
10 out of 10!
- (05 / Apr / 2013)
Really good product. The Impact Whey and Creatine Monohydrate mix well together and taste good. The Thermopure, I feel, helps.
I recommend a dose of 3 tablets before exercise. You do get a little hotter during exercise but overall I feel it helps when combined with a decent exercise programme. Its not a magic pill however, so effort is required.
Overall, I feel the bundle is a great price and you can start to see a difference over time.

Automakers sold the most vehicles in five years in 2012, but the future isnt as bright as it would seem, critics say.
U.S. sales last year zoomed to 14.5 million – a 13 percent bump from 2011. Forecasters expect showrooms to be busy in coming months as consumers look to spend income tax refunds, unemployment eases and the economy continues its turnaround.
Still, auto expert Sean McAlinden says happy days are far from here again. For the auto industry, happy days would be 2005, when sales reached a peak of about 17 million vehicles.
As always, the economy and consumer confidence – which despite gains is still fragile – will dictate auto sales, McAlinden said. He is executive vice president of research and chief economist at the Center for Automotive Research, a nonprofit institute in Ann Arbor, Mich.
McAlinden has conducted research for the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Library of Congress and other entities. In his spare time, he provides expert testimony to legislative bodies.
Were forecasting very modest growth over the next five years, McAlinden said. By 2017, they still wont have reached the peak of 2005, and thats even with a larger population.
New-vehicle sales result in a $350 billion annual business, compared with the $550 billion used car industry.
One reason for the disparity besides cost is vehicles are built better so they last longer, McAlinden said.
The average auto is 11 years old. Used-car lots will continue to benefit from consumers seeking reliable pre-owned transportation.
Thats what Im looking for, said Brian Heath, a 51-year-old electronics technician from Fort Wayne. Heath said hes ready to ditch his 1991 Chevy Corsica for a SUV.
Ill probably get a Jeep (Cherokee). I can afford it now. My kids are grown up.
Heath said hes aiming to spend $10,000 to $12,000. The average used car price is about $17,000, while a new vehicles average cost is $31,000, according to the National Automotive Dealers Association website.
I dont have much confidence in the economy, Heath said.
But some do. In 2012, consumers pushed Volkswagen sales 35 percent higher than a year earlier with more than 470,000 vehicles. Dana Furthmiller, general sales manager of Vorderman Volkswagen of Fort Wayne, admits that last year was an anomaly.
It was the first time we had the Passat produced domestically at our plant in Chattanooga (Tenn.), he said. Dealers were in short supply before that, but when its produced right here, its more readily available.
Even so, auto industry analysts believe the Passats redesign is likely to continue to drive sales for Volkswagen.
The same goes for Toyotas Camry, McAlinden said.
People just sat back and waited for Toyotas recall and inventory issues to be resolved and then they went out and bought cars, McAlinden said.
Russ Crumback of Crumback-Symons Chevrolet in New Haven said GM has responded to buyers desire for new models and is competing with its foreign counterparts. The Chevy Cruze compact and Equinox SUV are popular sellers.
The pent-up demand is still there, Crumback said of consumers sitting on the fence. (The industry) has a long way to go to catch up to where we were in 2005, if we ever do.
Such frankness is shrewd.
Michael Hicks is associate professor of economics at Ball State University and director of the schools Center for Business and Economic Research. He said the next few years wont result in a slew of carbuyers.
People will hold onto their cars longer, Hicks said. Sales will increase modestly, but it wont be this crazy explosion.
At a glanceHeres a U.S. automotive sales forecast:
2013 15.1 million
2014 15.3 million
2015 15.4 million
2016 15.5 million
2017 15.7 million

"The More You Know" Autism PSA Starring "Parenthood" Cast
Many thanks to Peter Krause, Monica Potter, and Max Burkholder of NBC's "Parenthood" who filmed this PSA to raise awareness about autism and Autism Speaks. This PSA, in the "The More You Know" series, aired after Tuesday night's episode, Team Braverman, which featured members of the family participating in a Walk Now for Autism Speaks event.
May 21, 2010 at 11:20 pm | #1
We loved this episode. We have told our son he has Aspergers, he is 8 going on 9, in the 2nd grade, going into 3rd. I wonder if it was the right thing to do.. but he questioned all the Dr appointments and wanted to know what was wrong with him. We were just trying to be honest. While being evaluated by the school's speech path and OT though, they mentioned that he brought up to them almost immediately that he has Aspergers, but couldn't explain what that meant. I pray we didn't make a mistake telling him. Now we are working with him to understand AS doesn't define him and he is so much more than just a child with AS. Thanks for letting me share and thanks to Parenthood. I don't know if Max really has AS if he as an actor is portraying it but he sure does great.

I love love love this show, I can finally relate to a family on televison that have similar obsticles such as our family. Autism is so life consuming and such a roller coaster ride for all of us. You grieve and then work really hard to move forward and then youre faced with situations such as telling your child she's Autistic. I worry everyday about her making friends, being alone, what will she be able to do and not do, What her reaction will be when I tell her about Autism. It's a 24 hour battle. and It's so nice to show families across america what it is many parents and children go through when a family member is diagnosed. It's so nice for people who have no idea what Autism is like they can see the show and realize it isnt this fatal disease, it's not contagious,It's not something to be feared. Now when people ask I say you need to watch Parenthood because Mckenzie is a lot like Max.

North Strabane officials table housing plan's last phase
The final phase of a housing plan was put on hold by North Strabane Township supervisors this week pending the outcome on what types of recreational amenities homeowners want.
The final subdivision plan and final site plan for 31 single-family lots in the Summerbrooke development was tabled by the board.
The board is seeking additional information on the developer's plans to provide recreational facilities listed in the original plan of the development off Poplar Street.
The master plan had called for a swimming pool and a clubhouse.
The developer, Ed Ganocy, said as each lot has been sold, property owners have paid $1,000 that goes into a fund to construct the pool and clubhouse. The plan was that once the development "build-out" reached 75 percent, the homeowner's association was to take a vote on what recreation options they wanted for the area.
But Ganocy said current residents have had differing views about whether they want the pool or clubhouse built.
"It goes back and forth," he said.
Supervisor Jeff Stanley said he wanted to see something definite before the final site plan is voted on. He suggested Ganocy get homeowners to either agree to the master plan or sign off if they don't wish the pool and clubhouse to be built, after all.
The board voted to table the matter until its February meeting.
In other business, the board approved the final site plan for the Studio 6 Hotel on Houston Square Drive; approved the preliminary site plan for 32 single-family lots at Highcroft Preserve on Route 519; and approved a 10-year agreement between the township and the Frank Sarris Public Library Association.
The board also granted permanent employment status to firefighter Paul Shiring after he completed his probationary period.
The board scheduled a public hearing on an application for a proposed planned residential development for 52 single-family lots and four duplex units on 35 acres off McDowell Lane. That hearing will be held prior to the next board meeting at 7 p.m. Feb. 19.

I've always straightened my kinky hair with chemicals. Every six to eight weeks, I would unapologetically transform my Z-shaped curls into bone-straight strands. I thought nothing of this ritual until I took a trip to Carol's Daughter's Mirror Salon in Harlem. After a quick consultation, the hairstylist asked if I'd ever considered embracing my natural texture. First thought: Heck, no! But, she insisted it would be healthier and even offered complimentary hair treatments if I documented my transition. "Besides," she said, "you can still have straight hair without the harsh chemicals." How could I refuse?
So, I started the process — which really meant that I stopped relaxing. I was the last member of my sorority GroupMe to join #TeamNatural, and when I made the announcement, my notifications were buzzing with red hearts and supportive messages. Saying I was no longer chemically treating my hair made me feel like I was joining a squad I felt entitled to, a crew I embraced but felt so distant from for far too long. I dove into watching YouTube videos for natural sistas, and I became obsessed with touching my three inches of new growth. I morphed into a hair-care product junkie overnight. My naturalpalooza world was set ablaze.
Then there was the judgment from the natural-hair community. "Oh you're a straight natural," they quipped. "Just wear it curly or wear a braid out. Why be natural and still straighten your hair?" And, I could never do enough for my newly brittle hair because there was always some new home remedy that would fill-in-the-blank my hair better. I couldn't keep up with all the organic products, and baking soda rinses made me gag!
I was overwhelmed, and I wanted out, but stuck with it until the end of the summer. Five months were enough. Right before Labor Day, I relaxed my tresses and I was finally free. Now to be clear, I don't subscribe to the idea that straight hair is the only kind of beautiful. But, I hate giving extra time and energy to look beautiful, only to be uncertain about whether my hard work will pay off. And, straightening kinky hair in the thick of the summer heat is not a game I wanted to play.
My conclusion: Wearing natural hair is beautiful, just not for me. I'm still gorgeous with or without my curls, so why deny myself what makes me happy? And frankly, why is it that others approve of me eating foods with a laundry list of preservatives, but as soon as I chemically treat my hair, it's a massive issue? Everyone wasn't accepting of my decision, but in all honestly, I haven't gone back to the "dark side", I simply realized just because something is ubiquitous, doesn't mean it's for me. And, there's nothing unnatural about that.

Histone Methylation and Ubiquitylation
January 28, 2014
Brian Strahl and his group made seminal contributions into the role of histone methylation and ubiquitylation, and more recently, DNA methylation click for more details . Using yeast, they helped show how histone-modifying enzymes "piggyback" with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) during gene transcription. Dr. Strahl's laboratory explained that enzymes like Set2, Set1 and Rad6/Bre1 are recruited via the C-terminal domain of RNAPII, or through the association of other RNAPII-associated factors (i.e., PAF). Moreover, Dr. Brian Strahl professor lab identified a vital role for the histone chaperone Spt6 in the regulation of RNAPII CTD modification – generating a feed-forward circuit that drives transcriptional elongation. Together, these studies have shown that chromatin modifiers, as well as histone chaperones, play a crucial role in the transcription process, and also aid in transcription fidelity.

Journey to Australia, the Original Oz
Scorching deserts filled with birdsong, a coast dotted with life-restoring aboriginal fires, rivers pulsing with crocodiles. At once the most dangerous and beautiful place on earth, Australia's Northern Territory is the true outback that legendary explorers couldn't conquer.
The Arrernte people indigenous to central Australia call Mount Gillen Alhekulyele, after the spirit of a wild dog that sniffed around the desert here near Alice Springs, looking for a mate. "Our ancestors tell the story that dog protected this area," says Doug Taylor, an Arrernte aboriginal guide leading a tour at the Alice Springs Desert Park, near the base of Mount Gillen (indeed shaped like the snout of a basset hound). "You protect it as well."
Taylor's smile reveals his evenly gapped Chiclet teeth. The afternoon sun is beating heavily on his brown bush hat as he ushers our group and a trail of ear-buzzing flies through the sand country, woodland, and desert-river habitats within the park's 123-acre exhibit area. "If you're ever out in the wild and dying of thirst, look for the little budgies and zebra finches," he says, pointing to a mob of small green-and-yellow parrots and carrot-beaked, striped finches flitting about an outdoor enclosure. "My dad always said, 'Have respect for those birds; they'll lead you to water.' "
He strokes a beanlike stem of nardoo, a fern his people have relied on for centuries as an important type of bush "tucker," or food. The plant's spores are harvested to make "damper," bread baked beneath the hot coals of an open fire. The secret to damper, says Taylor, is in the preparation--a tip that, combined with the earlier one about finding water, might have saved the lives of explorers Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills. Cannons were firing in the U.S. Civil War when Burke and Wills became the first Europeans to complete a south-to-north crossing of the Australian continent. Unlike their rival, John McDouall Stuart, however, they perished in the desert on their return trip.
In many ways Australia's Northern Territory is as wild today as it was then. Towns and highways have risen from the sand, and each year more than 348,000 tourists trek to the Red Center for a snapshot of one of the world's largest monoliths, Uluru (Ayer's Rock), a sacred aboriginal landmark. But the region--encompassing 300 million acres, an area the size of France, Spain, and Italy combined--contains just one percent of Australia's total population, or about 200,000 people, including aborigines on walkabout. Thus there is still a lot of wild country to explore.
The last time I traveled here, 11 years ago, I posed for a photograph with an eight-foot-tall termite mound and climbed past Japanese women scaling Uluruin high heels. I later learned that although the aboriginal landowners tolerate tourists mounting their rock, they don't understand it. And they would prefer that visitors (I hear they sometimes call us minga, or ants) skip the climb.
For this 10-day trip, I've planned another kind of outback experience, one that explores the Northern Territory's birdlife and aboriginal culture while tracing part of the route blazed by Stuart himself. Isolated from the other continents for millions of years and largely devoid of people, this is a land of unfathomable emptiness, thorny bush, and sweltering heat that is home to some of the planet's most unusual wildlife--the largest living crocodiles, carnivorous marsupials, thorny devils, and kookaburras.
"People think deserts are barren places, but they're actually full of life," Taylor says while acquainting me with some of the 350 types of birds I might encounter in the wilds beyond Alice Springs. Rumbling northwest out of town on a strip of tar passing for a road, I find the desert is a stunning panorama--a layer cake of terra-cotta sand, topped with grasses in every shade of green, from celadon to teal, azure sky, and white icing clouds. It's easy to imagine that the chain of rocky hills in the distance is a sleeping dragon, its spiny back and tail formed by squat acacias interspersed on the ridge with tall desert oaks.
Halfway through the five-hour drive to the remote outpost where I'll be staying for the next few days, the tar gives way to a sandy thoroughfare pocked with puddles. Wildlife pops up, it seems, out of nowhere. A brown falcon glides overhead, exposing its buff-colored underbelly, then banks for a swift landing in a dead gum tree. A dingo flashes out of the brush and races parallel to the car, maybe a dozen feet away. Up ahead what appears to be a log in the middle of the road transforms into a three-foot-long monitor lizard, or goanna, sunbathing. A huge bird with a long white neck and brown wings spooks from the spinifex grass. It's the Australian bustard, also known as the "Australian turkey."
"This land belongs to the Ngaliya people," reads the sign at the boundary of Newhaven Reserve, a 650,000-acre cattle ranch turned wildlife refuge that's just east of the Great Sandy Desert and bounded by aboriginal lands on all sides. In 1999 a biologist surveying raptors here alerted Birds Australia that the owner was talking about selling. The group quickly raised more than $1 million (Australian) and added the property to its collection of managed bird reserves. Newhaven represents all of the major inland Australian desert environments, including rocky mountain ranges, giant salt lakes that look like mirages in the desert, towering red sand dunes, scrubby woodlands, shallow depressions known as claypans, and spinifex grasslands spotted with ghost gums.
Just before sunset I arrive at Newhaven's nerve center, a smattering of metal dwellings that include a few caravanlike abodes called dongas.Property manager John Tindall, a former cattleman, lives with his wife, Marjory, in the reserve's only permanent structure. The dongas are for volunteers and researchers; tourists stay in a campground equipped with showers and pit toilets.

New mac mini or upgrade existing macs?
Hi all,
My current setup is a 2011 macbook pro as my main computer used for logic and games via bootcamp etc
I also have a 2007 mac mini that i use for itunes/spotify and general web browsing. I need far more hard drive space on it (80GB!) but other than that it works fine for what I use it for.
I can get a brad new 2.3ghz i5 mac mini (2011 model, not the new one) for £377, alternatively I was thinking about putting a 512GB SSD in my MBP then fit the 500GB drive in the mac mini for around £300.
Should I replace the old mac mini or use the money to upgrade both macs?
Any input is appreciated.
|Nov 29, 2012, 03:04 AM
I have a 2009 Mac Mini with 500Gb drive, and use a ReadyNAS as a TimeMachine and general storage backpack device.
I also use my Mac Mini to run BootCamp/Windows 7 and Logic Express et al.
Even so, the technology has advanced significantly since 2009 - let alone from the time you first bought your Mac Mini - so I believe that for someone such as yourself a new Mac Mini would certainly be a wise investment (especially with the latest 1Tb drives).
My Mac can go all the way up to XI
|Nov 29, 2012, 09:01 AM
If you're happy with it otherwise, upgrade the mini. Buy as big an SSD as you can afford and max the RAM. Newegg has been having a 240GB Vertex 3 for $139 after $20 rebate, and 2GB of DDR2 RAM shouldn't cost much at all (I imagine its a Core Duo model, so 2GB max). You'll be shocked at the difference those two upgrades can make.
EDIT: One more thing... If it IS a Core Duo model, you can upgrade the CPU to Core 2 Duo pretty easily and cheaply, if you're comfortable taking the mini completely apart. Did it to my Core Solo model in 2008; talk about breathing new life into a tired machine!

OK, so why are we here? To build net worth, a.k.a. Wealth. That's our mission and, from what we gather via reader mail, it's yours too.
Inspired by America Saves Week, Feb. 20-27, let's embark on a wealth-building plan. Start by getting comfortable with the big W.
Do you think of yourself as wealthy?
Do you think of your assets as "your wealth"?
Does the word "wealth" make you uncomfortable, or do you think it applies only to other people?
Have you ever looked at yourself through the eyes of someone who has much less? Who might consider you wealthy?
Next, assess your net worth by using the Personal Wealth estimator from the America Saves site. It takes only a minute to estimate your assets and liabilities—and the results may surprise you.
It's tempting to say, There's a lot more to life than chasing after money!
But sometimes women use that idea as an excuse for not taking their earning and saving seriously.
So, seriously, what are you going to do this year to limit your liabilities (i.e. debt) and grow your savings (i.e. wealth)?
We like Tavis Smiley's advice from his grandpa: "Make all you can, can all you can, then sit on your can."
Get rich. Tell us about your wealth-building plan.

Companies' perceptions of the importance of trade shows may be shifting, according to some industry insiders. A recent survey of 677 companies by Exhibitor Magazine found that exhibitors are spending less and documenting their return on investment more thoroughly.
Does the budget decrease mean that trade shows are becoming less important for U.S. companies? The answer depends on who you speak with. "A trade show is a proven venue," says Carl Berndtson, managing director of Confex Partners,Ltd., a Concord, Mass.-based trade show consultancy that specializes in working with startup telecommunications companies.
But Joel Weinstein, vice president of High Technology Marketing, a Milford, Mass.-based company that provides marketing services for high-tech companies, believes that shows have become less important, at least to high-tech firms.
"There was a time when trade show exhibiting was the primary vehicle for announcing the latest and greatest products," says Weinstein. "But in the high-tech world, if you wait three months to introduce a product at a trade show, you've waited too long."
Are companies shifting exhibit dollars into other types of corporate events? Not really, says Skip Cox, president of Red Bank, N.J.-based Exhibit Surveys, Inc. "Some companies may be spending more on corporate events like road shows or user-group meetings, but I don't see that affecting their participation in trade shows."

ThinPrep® solution is commonly used to preserve cervical swab cells for morphological analysis. We examined automated nucleic acid purification from these samples for molecular assays. DNA isolate by Maxwell® 16 and analyzed for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea (CT/NG) by real-time PCR showed a high correlation to replicate samples assayed by either Roche COBAS® AMPLICOR or Gen-Probe APTIMA Combo 2® Assays in independent laboratories (99% concordance). This same method did not consistently yield DNA of sufficient concentration for Invader®-based Human Papillomavirus (HPV) detection , so we developed a modified extraction method. This method gave 88% concordance to Digene Hybrid Capture II (HC2). These data show Maxwell® 16 can be used for automated nucleic acid purification from ThinPrep® PAP samples for downstream CT/NG and Invader®-based HPV detection.
