Sounds like another humdrum sneaker release but the special thing about The Puma Shadow Society is that participants aren't allowed to take credit for the designs. This means that the Solebox x Puma States will more than likely be rebranded as a Suede low-top; thus cloaking it an everday camouflage . If Read More

Doctors here say they are seeing more women asking for surgery 'down there' for cosmetic reasons.
One woman, a management consultant in her 40s, told The New Paper that she began obsessing about how "dark" her labia was after she caught sight of her nether regions in a mirror.
It bothered her so much that she began losing interest in sex, and eventually underwent labiaplasty last year to reduce the size and lighten the colour of her labia.
How vain can you get?

Waiting for the Barbarians
A Novel
J. M. Coetzee - Author
add to cart
- Paperback: $15.00 add to cart
Nobel Prize for Literature: Winner 2003
For decades the Magistrate has been a loyal servant of the Empire, running the affairs of a tiny frontier settlement and ignoring the impending war with the barbarians. When interrogation experts arrive, however, he witnesses the Empire's cruel and unjust treatment of prisoners of war. Jolted into sympathy for their victims, he commits a quixotic act of rebellion that brands him an enemy of the state.
J. M. Coetzee's prize-winning novel is a startling allegory of the war between opressor and opressed. The Magistrate is not simply a man living through a crisis of conscience in an obscure place in remote times; his situation is that of all men living in unbearable complicity with regimes that ignore justice and decency.
"A real literary event" —Irving Howe, The New York Times Book Review (front-page review)
"I have known few authors who can evoke such a wilderness in the heart of a man.... Mr. Coetzee knows the elusive terror of Kafka." —Bernard Levin, The Sunday Times (London)

Lidia Yuknavitch's Introduction of Tom Spanbauer at Powell's Books on the event of his book launch for I Loved You More
Posted by Rhonda Hughes on 04 Apr 2014
If you want an introduction to the work of Tom Spanbauer, one thing you can do is hunt down an author bio. It'll read something like this: He grew up in Idaho and attended Catholic School, which I'm sure had little effect on the rest of his life. He served in the Peace Corps in Kenya, he was a super of five buildings on East Fifth Street. He received his MFA in fiction from Columbia. In 1991, he came to us, to Portland, where he developed the beloved Dangerous Writing in his basement. He's...Forward

I worked at Paycom full-time for more than a year
Pros – Decent products offered and a fair and reasonable price. Not sure what else I can say for pros.
Cons – Paycom was a crazy place to work. I was one of 18 reps that had three managers in our region, which got trimmed to 3 sales reps. I did well there, but seeing new people working at the desk next to mine every month was getting old. I love all the other cheerleader posts that give 5 stars and say what an awesome place it is to work. They love that Paycom cool aid!
Advice to Senior Management – Good luck
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Just about anyone could go up to an official and state you don't think the lane lines are sufficiently tight. It maybe a case where it was an oversight.
What can make a potentially great pool and swim meet (78-80 degree deep water, wide lanes, great gutter system, good starting blocks, great lighting, large scoreboard, excellent officials, etc.) into a mediocre one? The lane lines.
We recently swam our championships in a new state-of-the-art pool. The only problem was the slack lane lines. The water was very choppy and continued that way throughout the whole race. They served no more purpose than the old floaties we used 45 years ago. They were so loose they visibly rose and fell with the waves and had so many horizontal waves they looked like serpents at the surface. The lane lines did not cut the waves but rather rode them. When there was a race with an open lane, the waves pushed the lane lines well into the free lane. Predictably overall times were not as fast as they could have been.
It is not necessary to have the lane lines are tight as a piano wire in order for them to be effective, but tightening them up for a meet is an area that is most often neglected. We work too hard at our craft not to be given every opportunity to swim as fast as the pool allows.
Just about anyone could go up to an official and state you don't think the lane lines are sufficiently tight. It maybe a case where it was an oversight.
I have had to ask the staff at my pool to tighten the lane ropes twice in the last week. We had one so loose that the old ladies bouncing up and down in the water aerobics class next to it had pushed it over so that the lane was 3/4 its normal width at the middle, and the swimmers in that lane were climbing all over each other and cracking each other's knuckles as they passed. The lanes are already narrow, and what with having to swim around the creatures floating in there, there's not much room to maneuver.
I think I would be rather irritated if that kind of thing happened at a meet.
I had the same thing happen a while back at the Y where I swim. Can you believe this - the water aerobes actually complained that the swimmers were getting them wet, when they were standing in OUR LANE!! It is really difficult to circle swim in half a lane.Originally posted by Shaky

Water aeobric people in the same lane. I don't have that problem at the rec pool since they have there classes earlier. I would thing that a Y would do the same thing. On the other hand, at the health club pool where you can put in only one land and only one person fits in it. it can get crowded and like you say you have to do circle swimming.
They were in the same lane because of a very loose lane line. They leaned against it so that only half a lane was left for the swimmers. And then they complained about getting wet!! Another annoyance is when they lay their equipment (woggles, those leg weight things) on the lane line, so that you hit against it as you swim by.Originally posted by cinc310

When we have masters practice we always swim three or four to a lane.
Jean S.
The way I handle that is to stop, grab whatever it is and hurl it to the deck at the far side of the pool. You should see their faces. Hey, it shouldn't have been there.Originally posted by jean sterling

So far no one has challenged me on it. Perhaps I look unhappy.
That's still not the worst problem I have with them. One of their "exercises" involves rolling forward onto their stomaches and kicking way out behind them near the surface. They kick under the ropes, and I've taken shots to the ribs and legs. They're generally pretty weak, but it's still a shock to get a foot in your side in the pool.
I {{{hate}}} this Y. I've looked for another pool, but this one ends up being the only one workable with my work schedule.
Interesting thing about water aerobics; I've had a number of patients with significant heart disease who experience angina with only modest effort but have no symptoms while doing water aerobics. For some reason lap swimmers are not a top priority in many pools.
You guys hit a nerve with me. Let me preface that there are sports that I do not understand or attempt but that I respect (squash, curling, monster trucks). But, water aerobics is truly not one of them.
Has anyone ever been in a lap lane, even with tightly drawn non turbulent lane lines, when, all of a sudden, you are violently pulled into the lane lines? Well, this has happened to me recently. When I poked my head up I realized the water aerobicizers were all moving in the same direction in a circle causing a horrible aqua vortex.
Next, I have yet to see a fit water aerobicizer. The instructors usually look fit but the jokers in the water defy any definition of fitness. If you can't lower yourself into water without help, maybe you shouldn't be doing strenuous physical activities.
Third, I have seen plenty of these people floating on noodles while doing the exercise, despite the pool being 4' deep. What kind of workout is this? Don't come back at me with range of motion and "atl least they are trying" arguments. Water arthritis I understand helps this but aerobics is intended to raise heart rate and increase fitness. You can't do that while on a noodle.
Fourth, they constantly complain about cold pool temperature, despite the fact most Ys keep their pools at 84.
And, lastly, they hug the lane lines and give you awfully dirty looks if you splash them at all. This is clearly the only form of exercise where physical exertion and sweat are anathema to the actual workout.
I know I am out of line on this. Sorry for the rant.
Maybe I can shed a little light and help redirect some comments. First off the saying "If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem"really holds true. If you have a problem with the water aerobics (We call it AquaX) you need to bring this to the facility managements attention (maybe you have I'm not sure - and if you have and they haven't changed then you know where their priorties are). Shaky, have you tried talking to the instructor about the equipement and having participants too close to the lane line, the instructor might not be aware of this, they obviously have a duty to ensure they are conducting their class in a safe manner, also let the lifeguard know, once again they are there to ensure everyone's safety.
Aquageek, last I checked water aerobics was exercise not a sport.
Complaining about a change in water current/conditions because of there exercises, what's next complaining about a wake from a fast swimmer next to you. And your last comment about how they look at you when they get splashed which annoys them, just as their vortex bothers you.
Your comment about the fitness level really bothers me, as if all Master swimmers look like they should be on the cover of fitness/shape magazine. The reason maybe someone can't get in or out of the pool by themselves could be injury or other health problems, if you have been to swim meets not every master swimmer gets in or out of the pool by themselves yet they still let them compete.
The fact that people are getting in the water and trying something, any movement is good. Have you ever tried any of the exercises you might be surprised, some of them really do work on that important core strength and body balance. Some of the exercises do look easy but if you work on controling your body properly they do become more difficult. The other fact that maybe these people aren't as adapt to having fun, or they see their workout as a little social time, whats wrong with that ?
The pool temp will always be an issue (I agree 84 is too warm) most swimmers like to see 80 or so, AquaX people (and swim lesson) like mid 80's so keeping at 84 is a bit of a compromise leaning more towards the AquaX and Lesson people - but they probably make up the bulk of the pool users, not the lap swimmers.
These are my personal and professional opinions. I am an aquatics manager, I don't manage a Y but the pool at another fitness center. All of our AquaX instructors are certified (AEA) some are even land based aerobic instructors. Not all facilities have the luxury I do, well trained aquatic professionals and the resources and freedom to ensure we provide quality aquatic programming. I used Aqua exercises to recently rehab knee surgery (ACL reconstruction from a hamstring graft and repair of a torn medial meniscus) I was able to start running slightly in under 4 months and was back playing water polo in just over 4 months. My first day in the pool I could barely get in and out because of the knee surgery but within 2 weeks it wasn't a problem - I give a lot of credit to a fast recovery because of doing some of the exercises that are done in what some people would deem useless water aerobic classes.
Your points are well made and clarify things for me somewhat. I still maintain that I have yet to see a sport/exercise that has the overabundance of unfit and unhealthy people as I see in water aerobics.
And, I have been to my share of masters meets and have seen quite a few being helped into the water or out of it. To a person, each of these swimmers would put any water aerobics class to shame both in terms of fitness and ability.
Kaelonj Thank you for supporting the water aerobics folks.
Confession time here. I do the water aerobics class twice a week at my pool. Aquageek, you are right, some of the folks in the class are far out of shape, but they are doing something to get into shape... everyone has to start somewhere. And you are also right that for someone who is in shape the class is not aerobic However, aerobic fitness, endurance and speed are not the end all/ultimate goals for everyone. I time my swim workout so I am swimming slow easy cool down laps just before the water aerobics class begins, then I paddle on over, participate and cool down a little bit more... it is a good stretch. Recently, the class has been doing ai chi as part of its workouts. You think the water aerobic exercises don't look difficult, you should watch the slow ballet like movements of an ai chi class--those postures, believe it or not, are harder to perform correctly than most of the water aerobic exercises we do. Since beginning ai chi my flexibility has increased. I even think it has helped my endurance some because, like tai chi, ai chi stresses breathing correctly as one performs the postures. What I'm trying to say is everyone gets out of an activity, what they put into it.
The water aerobics folks pay their dues just as lap swimmers do and have a right to use the pool in a manner they find fit. Look at it this way... would you rather have the times you can swim laps restricted so lap swimmers and water aerobics aren't in the pool at the same time? Guess we are lucky at our pool because as far as I know lapswimmers (and I know most of them) and water aerobics folks (and I know most of them too) co exist peacfully.
From the perspective of the facility operator (I've got a dozen or so years experience in this capacity), lap swimmers are, in many cases, the low priority user group on the list. A couple of the posts in this thread serve to illustrate at least some of the reasons why.
It has been my experience that lap swimmers tend to be the most demanding (in some cases, militant) patrons in the facility. They tend to be more territorial (that's MY lane) than other groups. If there is no resident swim team, lap swimmers are the ONLY group that complains when the water gets above 82 degrees. They often think, perhaps because there are lane lines and a stripe on the bottom, that they have a greater right to use the pool than do others. They often labor under the delusion that lap swimming is a better or more worthy use of pool space that other endeavors.
Are ALL lap swimmers like this? No. But it only takes a few at any given facility to give ALL the lap swimmers there a bad name.
My experience has been (and when facility operators compare notes I see the same trend) that the people who cause the greatest headaches for the operator generally come from the ranks of lap swimmers.
Perhaps this all stems from spending countless hours staring at the black line with the metronome of countless strokes burning a hole through the part of the brain responsible for sociable behavior. In the many years I operated large facilities the ONLY people I've had to suspend privileges for have been lap swimmers. In all but one case it was for antisocial behavior (grabbing someone else's equipment and throwing it out of the pool, if witnessed by the lifeguard, would get you a day or so of cooling off at the very least).
As someone who now makes his living from pool time and space rented for swimmers to use (my Masters team, clinics, lessons), I realize that we are guests of the facility and that our privilege to use the space we rent can disappear in a heartbeat if I, or one of my swimmers, abuse that privilege.
I'm aware of more than a few cases where facility operators have expanded lesson or water aerobic programs at the expense of lap swim or group swim opportunities. Sometimes this is strictly a dollar/resources driven action (lap swimmers are generally among the smallest contributors to the financial strength of the facility yet their space/participant ratio is high compared to other groups - our water aerobics would routinely have a dozen or more people per lane). In other cases there are contributing factors as noted above.
Whether you are a member of a facility, a member of a group that rents facility space, or you simply pay a daily lap fee, you have a privilege that is no greater, no more worthy, no more sacred than the privilege others at the facility have. Abuse yours and it will disappear - that's as it should be. But the real shame is when one or two people screw up lap or group swimming privileges for others.
How about bowling, gotta love bowling what other sport seems to promote drinking and smoking (of course that is my take from my own experiences, golf can be considered up there too I guess). The point about the fitness level of water exercise participants can be a little misleading (experiences may vary). As Laineybug said these people have to start somewhere, some participants because of health reasons may not be able to do land, weight bearing type exercises (this includes arthritis, fibriomalygia, any cardio vascular problems, and the list goes on) but when you put these people in the water, they have a new source of empowerment, able to control themselves for the most part). True not all participants are this way, but the fact they are out and moving should be a credit. Look at the trend in assisted care housing, not to long ago it used to be bingo and TV now they are getting these people moving, even if in a wheel chair using a simple balloon to work on muscle control of the hand may get a stroke victim back to where they can hold a utensil and feed themselves instead of someone else feeding them. I would love to be able to cater to every members specific aquatic needs, unfortunately I would need about 10 pools, one for teaching lessons, one for Aqua exercise, a deep water play pool a shallow water play pool a warm water lap pool a serious competition pool, etc, this is very unfeasible so there needs to be a little compromise and tolerance of other activities, and if there is a problem information and education are your best weapons.
Sorry for the soapbox, I'll get down now I have to go move some lanes lines to get ready for our lap swimmers.
I think that it is safe to say that most lap swimmers don't understand (or we don't want to understand - because we must justify our own pain) the benefits of those WaterX classes. Why would you get into a pool with a brand-new hair-do? I guarantee it is not because you want to elevate your heart rate. Anyway, I'm sure that in another 30 years I will better understand what the point is, and in the meantime, I will be very thankful for them supporting the pool finances.
If you want to scare off some of these would-be water athletes (floaters) then maybe you could explain that they could benefit physically more from a land based activity. Being water bound contributes to Osteoporosis. (for all of us)
you don't think water aerobics can elevate your heart beat? try doing forty five minutes of exercise in the water holding your arms/hands above your heart... thats what I do when I want something more intense than what the instructor is doing. Water aerobics can also help a person develop enough strength to participate in weight bearing/land exercises.
Lainybug: I wasn't saying that WaterX can't raise your heartrate. I was saying that I don't think you can raise your heartrate in a swimming pool without getting your hair wet. Which is the case of the WaterX ladies at my Y.
(or maybe I'm just not that coordinated )
I'm sure that we have a graduate student in physiology amongst us that could do a study and write a dissertation on this subject. "Is motion required to achieve aerobic benefit"
This is also the case at my Y.Originally posted by Phil M.

Water exercise classes can be VERY high intensity without getting heads wet. I've seen classes that are every bit as energetic as a high intensity swimming workout. Boxer Evander Holyfield used to come do water exercise in my pool at University of Houston (his trainer at the time was an ex-UH varsity swimmer). His routine would have been a huge challenge for ANY any Masters swimmer. And he didn't get his hair wet.
It all depends on what the instructor asks of his group.
lol, if my hair wasn't already wet from swimming my laps, I wouldn't get my hair wet either during the water aerobics class. And, as I mentioned above, when I want I can raise my heartbeat during class.
My question is... how do you know that the ladies who don't get their hair wet, don't raise their heartbeats? Just because it doesn't look strenous enough to you, doesn't mean its not to them.

South Korean government to consider ending bear farming
Update June 2011: We understand that the Bill is now scheduled to be discussed in the coming months. In the meantime please do show your support by signing the petition.
Following the tabling of a bill on 15 September by National Assembly member Hong Heedeok, the South Korean Parliament began the process that could result in the phase out of South Korea's bear farming industry.
Chris Gee, manager of WSPA's programme to end Bear Farming said, 'This is a historic opportunity for South Korea to adopt a policy to end bear farming. Since 2005 WSPA have worked in partnership with Green Korea United (GKU) to raise awareness of bears' suffering, build public support, promote the alternatives to bear bile and lobby decision makers within South Korea. The world is willing South Korea to do the right thing by bringing this cruel and unnecessary industry to an end as soon as possible.'
The bill is now expected to be considered by the Environment and Labour Committee as well as other relevant Ministries. Subject to securing enough support, this process could see South Korea putting a policy in place to end bear farming by the end of 2010.
Bear farming is cruel
Over 1,400 bears are currently held on South Korean bear farms, in horrific captive conditions, to be slaughtered for their bile. Because the extraction of bile from live bears has been illegal in South Korea since the early 1990s, bears are instead raised to be slaughtered for their bile when they reach 10 years old. Under present South Korean law, this industry is still legal.
The captive conditions have a terrible impact on the physical and psychological wellbeing of the bears. WSPA staff have witnessed South Korean bears rocking and pacing in their small cages, and seen the severe wounds, sores and stress the caged conditions cause.
Bear farming is unnecessary
Academics, experts and Traditional Asian Medicine advocates in South Korea and around the world agree that there are many readily available herbal and synthetic alternatives to bear bile. Even South Korean bear farmers themselves are prepared to consider a phase out as they acknowledge their farms are losing money.
In 2006, the South Korean Ministry of Environment (MoE) informally requested WSPA and member society GKU to research workable ways to phase out the practice of bear farming. WSPA and GKU consulted with a range of stakeholders and experts, ensuring they examined the issue comprehensively. In addition, GKU has been working closely with the government to refine the options open to them.
Thousands of South Koreans have joined GKU campaigns, and in the last four weeks over 85,000 WSPA supporters around the world have signed up to support an end to this industry.
Many thanks to everyone who took action and showed their support for a bear-farming phase out in South Korea. If you haven't yet had a chance to complete the action there is still time for you to make a positive difference.
Please visit WSPA's South Korea supporter action.
We will continue to keep you updated on progress. As South Korea prepares to celebrate its Thanksgiving Day next week, we also give thanks to the South Korean government for tackling this issue head-on.

By Rulon Stacey
Poudre Valley Health System offers a broad expanse of high-quality health care services for residents of Greeley and Weld County. This is something that we pride ourselves upon. I promise we will continue to always put you and your health first.
Two years ago, Greeley Medical Clinic, the city's largest multi-specialty physician group that has served community residents since 1933, joined Poudre Valley Health System as a way to continue to provide a full complement of comprehensive, compassionate quality health care services for Greeley and surrounding areas. Peakview Medical Center and Greeley Oncology are among the many services offered under the GMC umbrella.
The history that led to GMC becoming part of PVHS is an interesting story that reflects what has happened in the Greeley medical scene during the last few years. Learn more about this history by reading my blog: visionary.pvhs.org.
As part of our commitment to Greeley and Weld County, we intend to make it convenient for you to receive high-quality health care near your home.
We are building an emergency and same-day surgery center in North Gate Village at 71st Avenue and 10th Street. This is a high-growth area where medical services are needed for easy access for nearby residents. The center will open in early summer.
Our Aspen Club operates in Greeley to serve residents of 50 years or older. The Aspen Club offers health education, screenings, hospital discounts and social opportunities. These services are provided for free or at low costs.
At the other end of life's spectrum, the PVHS Healthy Kids Club works directly with young children and teens - as well as their parents and local schools - to provide year-round health and fitness activities and programs.
If you live in or near Windsor, you have easy access to Windsor Medical Clinic and Poudre Valley Medical Fitness, a state-of-the-art center for people in training, rehabilitating from an injury or illness, or just wanting to become healthier.
PVHS will start an air ambulance service in March for the emergency transporting of patients. Our service will be more focused on serving patients in such high altitudes as Rocky Mountain National Park.
This helicopter service might not be a direct benefit to you within Greeley and Weld County, but it could be a life-saver if you need it while visiting the mountains or elsewhere. We are also pursuing ways to solve other health challenges in Greeley and Weld County.
PVHS recently donated $100,000 to the Weld Food Bank so the organization could purchase a refrigerated truck that allows the food bank to reach more hungry families. Good nutrition is a paramount factor in maintaining good health.
We recently launched Peak Health Solutions to help small businesses in Weld and Larimer counties offer affordable options for health insurance coverage for their employees and families. This addresses a major problem faced by most local small businesses: The lack of adequate health insurance for employees.
Finally - and this is a huge benefit for all of northern Colorado - PVHS is partnering with the nation's No. 1 ranked academic medical center - the University of Colorado Hospital - to create a new health system that will provide unmatched care in the Rocky Mountain west. The new nonprofit organization will be Colorado's largest locally-owned health system.
PVHS is committed to Greeley and Weld County. We're here to keep you healthy and we are here to stay.
Rulon Stacey is president and CEO of Poudre Valley Health System.
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:

Well- after a retul fitting, I found out I should be on a size small frame and not a medium. As I simply cannot justify another frame purchase right now, we worked on getting me into an optimal position for this frame, which meant-
lose the xx-light seatpost for a setback post
lose the schmolke bars for ones with a shorter reach/drop
lose the 100mm stem for a 90mm stem
Fortunately the 3 above things sold relatively quickly and for more than my replacements ended up costing me (save the stem).
I also switched from lightning cranks to zipps which dropped about 20g.
pro-vibe carbon setback post 31.6x280 152g (xx-light was 91g)
ritchey superlogic II carbon bars 183g (schmolkes were 159g)
extralite oc stem (same weight)
So, I ended up gaining 85g (at least that'll be the net when I get the extralite stem) - the 20g for a 65g gain. Of course, I now need to shorten my cables and housing- the shorter reach and narrower bars require less housing so that'll knock back a few more grams. If I used an alloy cassette I could probably get it back under 11.5lbs- at the lowest I had it at 11.33lbs.
I will be switching to a sram cassette once the 7900 cassette wears out, which will probably drop another 15-20g.
On the upside-- the difference in my position is just unbelieveable- I'll never go to a new frame/bike w/out getting fit.
Now if I could just sell the brand new schmolke tlo bars I have laying around

Project Instructions
Step 1 Once you have determined the design area, place the rectangle blanks and tiny artisan star blanks face up on the Moonlit Night die.
Step 2 Place the die between the clear plates on top of the solo shim and platform. Crank it through the machine one time.
Step 3 To highlight the raised areas of the blank, use the white side of a reliefing block. Polish with the light gray side.
Step 4 Once you have determined the design area, place the songbird blank face down on the Fluttering Wings die. Repeat Steps 2–3 to complete process.
Step 5 Use hole punch pliers to make an additional hole opposite the pre-drilled hole in rectangle blanks to create connectors.
Step 6 String a round Amazonite Simulated Stone-Glass bead onto an eye pin. Hold the bead and cut the straight end approximately ¼ inch above the bead using the 3-in-1 tool. Hold the bead securely on the eye pin and form a simple loop to create a bead link. Repeat for a total of four bead links. Repeat Step 6 to create six bead links with the round ceramic Earth beads.
Step 7 String a round ceramic Earth bead onto an Industrial Chic™ metal fibers head pin. Hold the bead securely on the head pin and form a wrapped loop with the straight end of the wire. Repeat for a total of two bead drops.
Step 8 Use chain nose pliers to separate copper chain into small sections and individual links to function as jump rings to connect bead links. Connect bead links and embossed rectangle blanks with chain sections and large copper jump rings to create symmetrical bead strands. Attach strands to the Specialty Findings copper toggle closure.
Step 9 Cut 4" of small brass chain and loop it through the bottom of the copper toggle so one side hangs at approximately 1½" and the other side hangs at approximately 2½". Attach a 4mm jump ring through two links just below the copper toggle to connect and secure the chain strands. Use a 4mm jump ring to suspend the etched songbird blank from the bottom of the 1½" chain strand and attach the copper tree charm from the bottom of the 2½" chain strand.
Step 10 Use chain nose pliers to attach a 4mm jump ring to attach one of the embossed tiny artisan star blanks to a section of chain within the bead strand just above the copper toggle. Attach the second embossed tiny artisan star blank to the top of the suspended small brass chain strands at the bottom of the copper toggle. Attach the two bead drops from different sections of the small brass chain strands to complete your design.

I got a bad batch.:(
3 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1467941 From Washington on Jan 04, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
I have taken this product before, and liked the fact that it supports kidney and lung health. Didn't have any complaints at all about the first bottle I used, but the second one had a terrible "off" smell and taste... sort of rancid or musty. Yes, I know it IS a mushroom based product, but something was really wrong with the second bottle. I wish iHerb had a better way to give feedback on specific problems with products. I know I can't return it because it's open... but feel like they need to know that something is not right with this. I am also sending them an e-mail about it. I feel bad about posting this because I have purchased from iHerb for years and LOVE them, and I love the Doctor's Best brand and have never had any complaint about their products before.

I was getting pretty tired lately, sluggish. Even tea wasn't helping, other than for that quick rush. I bought 3 bottles of these hoping for results: NOTHING yet. Perhaps it takes more than one bottle to kick in. Perhaps this batch was all leached out, or didn't get enough fertilizer. It is not even as strong as a good cup of tea. And I am still easily worn out by the end of the day. Is there anything else I can try, I'm already taking Q10 50mg. Ow well, it's back to tea. Millie from Cunuckenville

My name and I both took this for about 2 weeks and we were completely exhausted all the time. My son was falling asleep in his classes and I kept having to take a nap before work. If we sat still for 5 minutes we would fall alseep. We switched to Swansons brand cordyceps and don't experience the tiredness anymore. Cordyceps wonderful....just not Doctor's Best.

Top-ranked Woodland cruised to victory on Thursday night, dominating Lanett 69-43 in the Class 2A Northeast Regional final to advance to the Final 48 in Birmingham next week. The win came three days after the Lady Bobcats were able to advance past the semifinals, something they had only done twice since 1999.
The only Woodland Northeast Regional championship came in 2011 and was followed by an appearance in the Class 2A state championship game. However, the Lady Bobcats fell 71-53 to Tanner.
"I still think they're babies now, but they were really babies in 2011," Woodland coach Larry Strain said. "Of my starters, I think four were ninth graders at the time. This is kind of a chance to renew ourselves. They're a little older and mature now, but I still don't think they can get in the car and go dating anybody as much as I can keep them away from it."
Woodland's Final 48 trip this year will begin Tuesday in the state semifinals at 9 a.m. at the BJCC Arena. They'll play either Providence Christian (27-3) or Elba (20-3). Those two teams will play for the South Regional title today at 3:40 p.m.
Tournament most valuable player Leah Strain finished with 26 points for Woodland (32-2).
Shanna Strain finished with 20, shooting 3-for-6 beyond the 3-point arc. Both players also made the all-tournament team, along with Shalyn Strain.
Although the Lady Bobcats' win turned out lopsided, the game didn't start that way.
Lanett held an early 6-2 lead, while Woodland struggled shooting and rebounding. While shooting picked up, the rebounding battle never did, with the Panthers having 43 to the Lady Bobcats' 23.
"I didn't know how we could control the boards," Larry Strain said. "Several people emailed me and text me and said that 70 to 90 percent of the time, the team that wins the rebounding battle wins the game in the regionals and goes to the Final Four. That was some concern to me."
It ended up being defense that changed the game for the Woodland, which forced 23 turnovers. When Larry Strain called for a full-court press, the Lanett turnovers began piling up quickly.
Woodland retook the lead at the 3:31 mark in the first quarter, as the Lady Bobcats started a 35-10 run to end the first half.
"The thing about our press and running down the floor is we can press you, we can press you and we can press you and you not make a mistake, and of a sudden you make one," Larry Strain said. "One turns to two, two turns to four then before you know, it's a six- or eight-point swing."
On the offensive end, Leah Strain continued to drive, draw fouls and pick up points at the line, as Shanna Strain rained 3s.
"We went into the game not knowing who was going to shoot, but we knew they were going to play that 3-2 zone," Larry Strain said. "We tried to drop our wings a little more down to force the girl at the top have to guard her. We knew that either Shanna, Shalyn or Leah was going to get shots from 3."
Things didn't get easier for Lanett in the second half as Woodland's points continued to stack up behind 76.5 percent shooting.
Although Lanett was unable to make a serious push at a comeback, trailing by as many as 31 points, Panthers coach Jennifer Norris said she like the way her team played toward the end of the game.
"They fought hard in the fourth quarter," she said. "If they fought in the first half in the fourth quarter, I think the game would have been a lot different in the outcome from what it was."

Stop working after 1 month
I purchased an iHealth Labs wireless blood pressure monitor (arm cuff) from Apple about a month ago, on February 2 2013. The cuff I purchased an iHealth Labs wireless blood pressure monitor (arm cuff) from Apple about a month ago, on February 2 2013. The cuff will not inflate anymore during the testing process and, instead, the app on my iPad reports "Error: Unable to detect measurements caused by arm/wrist movement".
- I've held down the start/stop button on the unit, and started it up again, to no avail.
- I've recharged the unit, to ensure the battery was fully charged (the app reports it is 100% charged), to no avail.
As an experiment, I plugged the unit into my computer's USB port and ran a blood pressure test -- the cuff inflated and it recorded my blood pressure. But that's not exactly wireless, is it?
Since the 14-day return period is over, I'm exchanging it for a new (hopefully working) unit from the manufacturer.
I would not recommend this product. …

Doesn't Work - Bluetooth Never Connects!

I use bluetooth for a variety of devices and trackers that link directly with my iPhone, my desktop or my laptop. I've never had any issues with any other bluetooth device that weren't easily fixable (new batteries, etc.). This just wouldn't work.
I track my blood pressure very closely for health reasons, and I was very hopeful that this could be a helpful solution. I think it would be IF IT WORKED!!
The tech support people were nice, but not helpful. They said they had never had this issue before. Not sure I buy that, based on other reviews on the site.

I had some minor loss of communications problems, but this was not a show stopper. However, right of the box, the readings seemed to be high. I ran a number of comparisons with my doctor's machine, and found the systolic typically 20 mm higher on the iHealth unit. I then moved to the local pharmacy, and in thi s case saw about a 10mm difference. The bottom line is I have no faith in the readings being recorded on this machine, so have sent it back. If there's one thing calculated to raise your blood pressure, it's looking at readings that are 20 mm too high!
The app was a bit flaky, and only appears to graph the first reading in any given day, and there is no provision for exporting to a spreadsheet, but this again was not a showstopper, as the readings can be entered in Excel manually.
To their credit, Apple were very efficient about processing the return.

Q: How can I make company purchasing more effective?
A: Some companies have a dedicated department for purchasing supplies and materials; others spread the task among key employees. Knowing which type of setup works best for your business can be a major factor in streamlining and cutting waste.
First, you'll need to make sure you're working with a clean set of numbers. Your accounting system should capture and report costs--and this includes purchasing--in a way that enables you to measure and control them effectively.
A small manufacturer I once helped had lumped all of its purchases into either direct or indirect costs. This was fine when they were just starting out. But as they grew, they found they needed to identify and measure the components of those costs so they could make better deals with vendors. A year after installing a more robust chart of accounts, we were able to reduce costs by $200,000. This more than repaid the cost of the accounting changes and the addition of a purchasing employee.
The more complex your company's needs, the more important a dedicated purchasing department becomes. If you can answer yes to any of the following questions, you're a prime candidate:
- Do you publish, send out and evaluate RFQs (Requests for Quotes) when making purchases?
- Do you negotiate contracts with each of your vendors on a project, quarterly or annual basis?
- Do you track each vendor's performance to make sure they deliver on time and invoice correctly?
- Is there a degree of specialized experience and knowledge required to evaluate your company's materials or to communicate concerns and specifications with suppliers?
- Does the quality of materials and products you buy and then sell determine the perceived quality of your company? (This matters, because if you end up distributing a defective product to the public, your company takes the blame.)
A smartly run purchasing department will avoid duplication of effort and can reduce costs through the purchase of larger quantities at reduced shipping rates; furthermore, a dedicated team can develop relationships with vendors that can pay dividends when you have, say, a last-minute change or an urgent order increase.
Consider how many work functions you, as a small-business owner, must manage simultaneously: product, staff, sales, marketing, etc. Perhaps it's time to bring in a dedicated purchaser, someone who can take the time to approach every vendor with the goal of getting the best possible delivery, quality, price and payment terms for your company.

The last time I wrote a letter to a soldier was in 1970. The soldier's name was Bill Vogt and he was stationed in Okinawa during the Vietnam war. My sister, Nancy, had dated him for a minute, and I had met him once. I was just Nancy 's little kid sister, but Bill corresponded with me while he was in the Army and in a place I had barely heard of. I like to think that receiving my letters made Bill's tour of duty a little more pleasant, and I remember how excited I was to receive letters from him.
Well, I've decided it's time to once again write a letter to a soldier. I went online and found several organizations that connect ordinary citizens with deployed soldiers, mainly in Afghanistan and Iraq . I submitted my application for the adoption of two of them, and I'm now waiting to see if I am accepted. I'm not sure what the criteria for approval consists of, since I didn't have to supply any information beyond my address and name. I did have to agree that I would be willing to send two care packages a month, as well as cards, letters and emails. This I can do, and do so gladly. I only wish I had thought to do it sooner.
Her name was Sage, and she was a dog. I'm not sure of her breed, but she was white with some orange speckles and she had the most intelligent eyes. One of her favorite things in life was to get a person to play fetch with her, whether it was a ball or a stick she had the person fetching. Her main place in life was beside her person, Eddie Miller. You would meet the two of them going down the street, Sage sitting on her side of the vehicle, looking at the world through her dog eyes. And sometimes you would see the pickup parked at the curb, no Eddie in sight but Sage still sitting there, waiting for his return.
Sage had a mission in life that often took her out of the pickup and around town. She couldn't send care packages or write letters, but Sage was wonderful at adopting people. She instinctively knew who needed her, and most days she would follow a route that took her to their houses for a visit. The first person I knew she adopted was Mr. Sizemore. He and his wife lived across from the nursing home, and Sage would stop by daily to play ball with her newfound friend. When he died and Mrs. Sizemore moved across town, Sage showed up at her door one day, and Mrs. Sizemore then became one of Sage's main adoptees.
Sadly, Sage died last week. The same heart that took her from house to house, the heart that cared about the lonely and the souls who needed a wag of her tail, just quit beating. I like to think that like us, dogs have a mission in life, too. And Sage definitely fulfilled hers, for she lit up the lives of so many folks as she followed her heart's path about town.
Guess what? I finally made it to Tucumcari , NM . I'm embarrassed to say it took me many months to (virtually) walk the 160 miles between here and there, but at least I accomplished a goal I had set for myself. I was going to hole up for the winter at an old Route 66 icon, the Blue Swallow Motel, but I've decided to head on out for the next town - Santa Rosa. It's only 56 miles away, and surely I'll make the city limits before the end of winter - if I remember to keep putting one foot in front of the other, just a-toddling on down the road!

In some ways a difficult play, a black comedy but with very severe swerves. Sorry, did not buy programme and or see cast list on offer [ terrible insult to actors not to have cast list available] so don't know names of cast. All did ok but I think the two aunties need work..more depth. The violent girl very good, well supported by her little brother and the two men characters, interesting reversals there [ no spoilers from me this time I hope] do well. Daniel R excellent. Probably the best one on stage actually as I just felt the rest hammed it up a bit. It might be me, but there you are. I always think you should play it absolutely straight and the laughs will come [ one of the funniest lines in the play is from DR and it went down a storm and he did it straight as a whatever] but some of the audience were guffawing and were given the cue to guffaw kind of [ hard to explain] from the off at pretty well every line. Of the three I've seen, Beauty Queen and Lieutenant being the other two I think this is the weakest play but this production will be very well received.
Set looked clunky to me. Not as real as Donmar's The Weir and not as 'suggested' as Anna Christie. Why have I not been impressed with the Grandage series sets yet? Lighting obvious, no real sense of place. Sound, Irish music of course and a big screen photo of Ireland flat and emplty..cliche cliche cliche. Nothing biting to support the bite of the play.
Full house tonight - but OMG latecomers and crisp crinklers. No phones.

Woeful this, not for me. Didn't like any acting performances (Sarah Greene was the best). Didn't think it was particularly funny. Didn't connect with any part and thought story was weak. I can now report the latest results from the Michael Grandage season. Complete Turkeys 2 Ok to decent 1. Looking forward to Jude Law now, surely we can get a good play on the scoreboard.
Posted 09 June 2013 - 04:23 AM
I'm surprised at the reactions to the play which I have always loved. The plot takes some amazing swerves but McDonagh makes it all work. Perhaps the production is just not settled in yet.
Excuse me if I seem jejune

Give it a chance..

Posted 09 June 2013 - 03:11 PM
I'm not prepared to give it a chance at the price I paid. I don't give a pricey dress a chance if it has wonky seams - I don't buy it or I take it back. Of course the experience of theatre isn't like that but no one can accuse me of not putting my money where my mouth is. So I feel entitled to say that something is not as good as it could be or ought to be. Previews should be cheaper then. Sometimes they are. But his was full price last night and much more than I normally spend on top price tix in every other London theatre.
Posted 09 June 2013 - 04:39 PM
Lynette, you are perfectly entitled to pay full price for a first preview and to howl your dissatisfaction. It makes a much better story than if you'd bagged a cheaper ticket later in the run, when the show's running smoothly.
Posted 09 June 2013 - 05:26 PM
Personally I prefer previews - that's how the director imagines it, surely? Previews are there to change a directors vision, a chance for them to change things they thought would work with the audience but don't. I'm looking forward to this, but I'm day seating it - I hope I don't need to arrive at 6am like I did for P&A - I'd rather turn up at 10:15 like I did for POP!
If I stay awake, it must be good.
Posted 09 June 2013 - 06:08 PM
I didn't know it was a preview. I booked several lives ago.
I forgot to say that DR displays or rather allows us to hear a very good singing voice, just snatches but good, believe me. A musical beckons?
