The reason your clear glassware come out with spots is you are not using Jet Dry. I use Finish which has a Jet Dry tablet built in, but I also use the liquid in the dispenser. No spots ever. We do give the dishes a quick preprinse even if it is not really necessary a probably is a waste of water, but there is never any crud left in the bottom of the DW. Also we do not have a disposal by choice. Never have had a clogged DW or a clogged sink in 40 years. (Not the same DW. I have always used a high loop, also without problems. I was unaware that Washington required an air gap until I read Terry's comment. Guess I won't sweat it after this long.

I have a dishwasher. Had her for about 25 years now. She does a pretty good job most of the time. If I replace here with one of them new fangled electric ones then I'm gonna have to spend time talking to her.
I think Souix Chief but maybe not, but I know someone makes one that mounts under the counter. Maine goes by the UPC but they are happy with a high loop and so am I.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
With most modern DW, there is no need to prerinse. If you are the type to take days to do a full load, then most all of them have a built-in prerinse cycle that gets rid of the crud. Using it saves water. The better ones also have photo sensors in them that looks at the wash water and stops when it stops seeing crud moving by, which saves on water and speeds up the cycle if it can. Add that to the built-in heater that can come on to help sanitize and dry the dishes, and you'll find that they do NOT have food particles and are much more sanitary than washing them in the sink by hand. To get these results, you have to load the thing properly so the jets can reach everything. Letting things like spoons or forks 'spoon' in the rack will not allow it to clean them properly, but it's easy to avoid.
With a functioning air gap, there's no chance that you could ever end up with dirty water backing up into the DW...that's the reason for the air gap. Especially if you use the tailpiece built into a GD, if it was clogged, the thing acts like a pump, and high loop or not, it could pump waste into your DW. Now, if you didn't notice, you might try to use those dishes only to end up sick. Since that is a rare occasion, few people experience it. But, you are safer when one's installed than without whether you believe it or not.
The detergent often used in a DW can create a pitting or haze on some stuff, but most of that stuff is not listed as safe in a DW in the first place. If you follow the manufactuer's instructions, your dishes will be cleaner and you'll use less water (and energy) in the process.

Thanks Jim.
What is the best brand ?
Mine has a food Grinder built onto the pump. WTF it ain't a garbage disposal.
I like to spoon with my girl, but never let the silverware spoon in the dishwasher.
It is hard to reach every angle with the water spray, but the heat does kill the bacteria.
I have never gotten sick from doing them by hand, I keep My sinks clean.
They look cleaner doing them by hand, You can wash until clean.
What is in the rinse agents that is suppose to get rid of water spots ?
My DW is old, but still works fine...I'll replace it one day. Until then, I've not compared them in ages. Features I'd want in a new one are SS interior that won't warp or crack or start to discolor or smell as it gets old; dirt sensor so it can adjust the length of the wash cycle; pre-heater in case the incoming water isn't hot enough for a proper wash, and racks that are flexible to allow more choices on placement of items. Multi level sprayers are relatively common, but some have more levels than others...this helps.
Many DW recommend JetDry...they also often have a dispenser for that in the door that is adjustable. That is the most common one available.

I have a Bosch DW. They recommend Jet Dry and Finish detergent. There is a reservoir in the door for the Jet Dry. The Finish is in a cube that has an additional rinse agent capsule. This works very well, I have never used any other brand, so I can't offer a comparison. The Bosch uses high heat to dry the dishes after washing. This feature does not dry plastic or metal, but they are clean and it takes just a quick wipe to get the remaining water. Silverware do dry fine.
I understand the legal requirements around the air gap (UPC in WA state where I am), but is it possible for me to use the high loop and forgo the ir gap if I do not use my dishwasher? I have lived in my condo for 11 years and have used the dishwasher maybe two times.
I could shut off the water to it and not use it at all if I could also not have to have an air gap in my sink.
Donl may be like one of my first boss. He wouldn't let me fix his dishwasher as long as he had kids living at home who could do the dishes. Around here women guard their garbage disposers like the NRA guards their assault rifles. You don't dare suggest removing the disposer.

Via Larry Brown Sports:
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is known for having some of the most polarizing figures in the entertainment business accompany him to the ring before fights. Whether you love her or despise her, there is really no arguing that Miley Cyrus has perfected the art of creating a buzz. That's why she makes perfect sense for The Money Team.
During a recent interview with Billboard, Mayweather spoke about some of his favorite musicians and how he chooses the artists who walk him out to the ring.
"When you're the best, you only want to surround yourself with the best," Mayweather explained. "(Bieber is) an exceptional artist. He's the future."
Apparently Floyd feels that Miley shares some of those characteristics with Bieber.
"I was thinking about letting the twerk queen, Miley Cyrus, bring me out," he said enthusiastically. "Why not? We've gotta call her the twerk queen. Yes, we have to call her that."
Unfortunately, he's probably not joking. Mayweather is an expert at maximizing ratings and revenue for everything he does, hence why his Money Mayweather brand is unprecedented across sports. He'd look ridiculous having this nut job by his side as he prepares to defend his title, but that never stopped him before. Bieber looked completely out of place posing with Mayweather after Floyd beat Miguel Cotto, but he was invited back for the Canelo Alvarez fight. Don't be surprised to see Miley next time.
Miley...seriously GIRL; have you NOT embarrased yourself enough? For once, can't you think of your family first???? They are involved by proxy. IE; I'm sure they were great parents, soooo, WHAT HAPPENED?
Miley has good handlers and I'm doubtful she will merge her brand to the brand of a convicted person.
Cyndi Lauper was a person with 10 times the talent and she linked herself to Capt. Lou Albano in pro wrestling.....her career nosedived. The good news is her talent ruled and MANY years later she showed the world she had immense talent
Miley has no talent...this could be a career killer

Rafael Gonzalez Double Corona Reviews [view details]Give us YOUR review!
Showing 1 through 7 of 7 reviews
wanted to try after seeing reviews and FS hype. caps rip off when cut, not a lot of smoke and taste couldn't get honorable mention if they paid for it. maybe i just don't appreciate expensive cigars, but is seems like i'm more satisfied with less hyped name brands and private labels.bob seaman in ny December 1, 2007
"Excellent Cigar for the Money!!"
I tried this cigar years ago on a sampler!!! It has always been a part of my humidor since then!!! Excellent cigar !!!Juan Cruz in NC November 3, 2006
"Good Cigar at a good price"
Got a 5 pack sampler for Christmas and was suprized how good these were. Ordered a box in Feb., lit one the day they arrived. Still just as good as the samplers were. Nice aroma and flavor smooth easy draw and consistant burn. One of my favorites for the money.Mike in St, Augustine, Fla. March 15, 2006
"Consistent....ly bad"
This review actually deals w/ several sizes of RG, since I smoked them out of samplers (one full RG sampler, plus a few out of others). Good golly, these were the worst name-brand stogies I've ever had. Poor burn (good luck smoking one straight, much less straight through), flavor either non-existent or marked only by a good throat-burn, and too, too airy. Oh, but they looked decent.LDS in Albany, NY February 23, 2003
"Great cigar for the price!"
This is a very good every day cigar. A mild to medium bodied smoke with good construction and a nice even burn. Since I work the graveyard shift I take one with me to work almost every night. Wife likes the aroma too!Manny Amado in Tucson, Arizona May 17, 2001
"Best bang for the buck!"
I recently ordered a box of the double coronas and smoked one the moment the box arrived, just the heating of the tip and I was hooked. Once I let them season a little bit they only got better.This cigar has a smoothness I have yet to match, construction is fantastic and the draw is easy and filling. This cigar would be worth the msrp but I am glad to see you lowered the price as I will need to order more.Bill Lawrence in Soldotna, AK January 10, 2001
"Smooth, medium strength, a banquet cigar."
A beautiful, well made cigar with a complex flavor profile. Lightly spicy, medium body with great depth. A multidimensional smoke worth twice the price.Ralph in Providence, RI August 18, 2000

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month/Older Americans Month
Unleash the Power of Age is the theme for this year's Older Americans Month, previously known as "Senior Citizens Month" when established in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy. At that time, only 17 million Americans lived past the age of 65, and a third of those lived in poverty with few programs to help meet their needs. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter's proclamation changed the name to Older Americans Month, marking May as a time to celebrate those aged 65 and older through ceremonies, events, and public recognition. Since its inception, every president has issued a formal proclamation during or before the month of May asking the nation to pay tribute to older persons in their communities.
This celebration shines light on the essential role older adults play in sharing their experiences, understanding, and knowledge with younger generations in a variety of meaningful ways, including in the workplace. As the average lifespan increases, so does the amount of years the average person works. By the end of 2002, workers in the labor force aged 55 to 64 increased to 62.9 percent, the highest level of the postwar era. Many employers have recognized the benefits of hiring older workers, and are utilizing the skills that they bring to the table—experience, knowledge, work ethic, and commitment. As the state agency charged with enforcing Missouri's anti-discrimination laws, the Missouri Commission on Human Rights actively investigates complaints of age discrimination (ages 40-69) in the workplace and conducts training and outreach efforts to educate Missouri employees and employers on their rights and responsibilities under the Missouri Human Rights Act.
This year's festivities acknowledge the value older adults continue to bring to Missouri communities through their dedicated involvement in social and faith groups, and service organizations.
- OlderAmericansMonth.org details great ways to for older adults to "unleash the power of age," including the use of social media and creative community events to promote the honoring of older Americans.
- Elections for Missouri's Silver-Haired Legislature take place in May across the state at local area agencies on aging nutrition or senior centers. The SHL is a formally-elected body of citizens aged 60 and older that promotes conscientious legislative advocacy for Missouri's older adults. All members are volunteers who serve without pay. To find out more, visit your local agency on aging.
Local agencies on aging in Missouri include the following:

- The Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services has information on Independent Living, Senior Employment, the Long-Term Care Ombudsmen Program, and much more.
- The Missouri Association of Area Agencies on Aging provides older residents with details on a variety of subjects, including home-delivered meals, fall prevention and wellness programs, rent and utility assistance, and support groups, in its Search for Services section.
- To find help in your community, log on to Eldercare Locator, a public service of the Administration on Aging, connecting you to services for older adults and their families.

- Read about Home & Community-Based Long Term Care, Elder Rights Protection, and many other topics of interest online at Department of Health & Human Services' Administration on Aging.
May is also Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, first celebrated after Congress passed a law directing President Jimmy Carter to issue a proclamation designating the week beginning on May 4, 1979, as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week. In 1990, Congress requested President George H.W. Bush issue a proclamation which expanded the observance from one week to a full month. In 1991, a law passed recognizing the significance of May 7 and May 10 in the history of Asian and Pacific Americans. On May 7, 1843, the first Japanese immigrants arrived in the United States, while on May 10, 1869, the first transcontinental railroad in the United States was completed. Chinese immigrants laid most of the western tracks, suffering many tragedies along the way, as accidents, avalanches, and explosions left more than 1,200 Chinese workers dead by the time the last ten miles of track was laid in less than 12 hours on the final day of construction. In 1992, Congress permanently designated May of each year as "Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month."Asian-Pacific is a rather inclusive term that encompasses the greater Asian continent along with the Pacific islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. These three regions include well-known areas such as Fiji, New Guinea, Guam, New Zealand, Samoa, Easter Island, and the Hawaiian Islands.

I honestly think Gran Cru Wine Bar is one of Ballston's best kept secrets. It's nestled in the middle of an office/apartment complex so it is off of the main roads (which adds to the awesomeness!). Enjoy a glass (or a flight!) of wine on their outside patio, and order scrumptious tapas & appetizers. My favs include: the olives & mixed nuts, gourmet cheese platter, warm brie & honey, and the capresse. The house wine is $5/glass so it won't break the bank, either!

Devastator MarinesTalk0
this wiki
- "A Devastator's reach shall be without limit and his touch without mercy. Fire shall roar from his fingertips, but it shall consume him not. Thunder will roar when he calls, yet it will swallow him not. Let the Devastator squad be thy blazing wrath, bringing the light of the Emperor's justice to the darkest corners of the battlefield. Wherever he stands, that shall be his fortress of righteousness. He shall hold in his gift the fate of all who pass before his unblinking gaze. All shall fear him, and he shall fear no one."
- — Roboute Guilliman, from the Apocrypha of Skaros
Devastator Marines are Space Marines who serve in a Codex Astartes-compliant Space Marine Chapter's Devastator Squads. The Devastator Squad consists of a Sergeant and up to nine Battle-Brothers, of whom four are designated as Heavy Weapons Support. The Sergeant will be a Space Marine who has received extra training to equip him for his leadership role. Devastator Sergeants are also experts with all types of Space Marine Heavy Weapons although they prefer to fight with the standard Sergeant's weapons of Bolt Pistol and Chainsword or another melee weapon. This expertise means that the Sergeant can get the fullest tactical advantage from the weaponry he has at his disposal. Space Marines rely on the tactical acumen of individual Sergeants to avoid the need for complex command structures and communications networks.
The ten Battle-Brothers of a Devastator Squad fall into two groups. The first of these are the Heavy Weapons troopers. There may be as many as four Heavy Weapons troopers in the Squad. These Marines are armed with Heavy Bolters, Missile Launchers, Lascannons, Multi-Meltas or Plasma Cannons. These awesome weapons provide the squad with a host of alternative deployments and tactical uses. Inevitably the Devastator Squads are most commonly used to counter enemy armour or to penetrate defence points. They can also be used to provide fire support for infantry advances and to pin the enemy down with suppressive fire.
Some of the Battle-Brothers in a Devastator Squad may have fought enough battles to earn Veteran status. These Marines may continue to serve with the Squad for a short time but eventually they will be given special duties (such as in a Command Squad) or promoted to serve in the Chapter's elite First Company, which is comprised of Marines with Veteran status. In this way, the ranks of the Chapter's elite company are replenished. Veteran Battle-Brothers have white helmets, while Veteran Sergeants wear a white-striped red helmet. Following their tour of duty as Devastators, Space Marines generally join the ranks of the Assault Marines.
Devastator Squads have access to more types of Heavy Weapons than the other Space Marine Squad types. In addition to the familiar heavy Bolters, Lascannons and Missile Launchers they can also field the more exotic Multi-Meltas and Plasma Cannons. The latter fire a ball of superheated plasma that explodes on impact making it exceptionally potent against multiple targets. The Multi-Melta is a short-range anti-tank weapon, its thermal blast able to melt through even the toughest armour. A Devastator Squad's Missile Launchers can fire two different kinds of missiles. Frag missiles give effective fire against enemy infantry while Krak missiles are more useful against armoured targets. The missiles are relatively small and a Marine can easily carry sufficient numbers of both types to take full advantage of this dual tactical use in a battle.

12 Best Hair Care Products for Split Ends
Pick a hair care treatment from one of the besties on our list and say "buh-bye" to damaged hair
Why: Readers with thin hair love this TRESemme conditioner saying, "it works great and is really good for the price. I don't worry about my hair breaking and looking dry." Another reader also noticed, "much less breakage with this conditioner." One reader was amazed with its results saying, "I know that we have all read time and time again that no product can stop split ends. Well, this one really makes me think twice about that. I started using this conditioner right after I got a haircut. I figured that it would be a fresh start and that I may as well try and take some preventative action against split ends. If I could hold them off just a bit longer, it would be great. Well, it's now nearly three months later and try as I might, I cannot find a single split end!"

Atlanta >Massage > Massage Envy
3330 Piedmont Rd NE Ste 26, Atlanta, GA | Directions 3030533.846075 -84.374040
Sun, 10am - 6:30pm; Mon - Fri, 8am - 10pm; Sat, 9am - 7:30pm
Neighborhoods: Northside, North Buckhead, Northside
Fantastic massage here. I received a guest pass from a friend of mine (who is a member), and the massage quality went way beyond my expectations. Went in for an hour massage. Plan on coming back, and maybe signing up for a membership
My husband and I have been members here for a couple of years. the facility is always clean, the therapists are professional, the hours open are long. there is a pretty large staff and of course we have our favorites but i will say the worst massage I ever had was wonderful. they try to accomodate your wishes both in scheduleling and in the variety of massage and pressure that suits you. this is not a fancy spa but a great place for true theraputic massage. check it out!
Horrible MIDTOWN Massage – I purchased gift cards for 2 friends. Both had a bad experience. The first was told she had horrible feet and needed a pedicure. The comment was made during the massage. The massage therapist went on to complain during my friends massage about clients not tipping. The therapist I had on my next visit also complained during the massage about clients not tipping. He also used the F and B word to describe those clients. I wanted to leave. I mentioned my experience with the manager. The second who I had purchased a gift card felt uncomfortable with their massage therapist. The therapist's movements were inapprioprate. I called and left a message for the manager to return my call. my call has not been returned.
After this I stopped use of my membership. However I could not cancel the membership because of the Massage Envy contract and have accumulated 8 prepaid massage services. At this point my membership agreement expired. Last month after yet another issue,I was told by the manager (Dove) that my membership cancellation would be taken care of. This month another deduction was made from my account. Upon calling, and speaking to a very friendly associate, I was told that my 8 prebooked massage
must be redeemed by October 25th 2010. That allows 25 days to redeem them.
I have the choice of losing the massage, or redeeming them in an environment that I feel uncomfortable.
Thinking more about the situation that led to the original problem, I would not feel comfortable offering the prepaid massages to a friend. It has been explained that Massage Envy would not allow me to transfer them as gifts any way. So! I am at a loss.
I am sorely disappointed with the unflexible, poor customer service, and condescending quoting of Massage Envy policy. I recommend seeking more professional,service oriented,caring places to spend well earned time and money.
Terrible service, to Mr. West – This is to Mr. West. I was unable to leave acomment on your blog, so here it is. I hope this finds you. I think you should surely cancel your membership. Talking to these people is harder that talking to a brick wall. The motto of the company should be absentmindedness and mediocrity. You may be aware that Massage Envy is now offering facials. Well, not legally they are. You see, although they hold a business license, the facility is not licensed by the State Board of Cosmetology. I think this amounts to a misdemeanor charge of public nuisance for endangering the health and safety of the public. Do Not Go There Again. This is what is most important. The State Board of Massage Therapy does not have any sanitary or disinfecting guidelines, but the Cosmetology Board does. This place is really, really dirty. I wouldn't get a massage there if it were free. You should also know that Jessica-the manager-is Pat's daughter. Pat's last name is Saulson, like her daughter's. She is using her husband Norman Klemmer's name to throw you off. They have paid there employees less than minimum wage-against federal statute. And you should really check out the manager's lewd online picture at the website below. She has also had three DUI's. She also "tweets" about XANAX and drunkenness. Good Luck
Terrible Customer Service – I booked a couples massage, but they didn't tell me until I got there that they don't offer couples massages. And they charged me anyway! It took me two months to get them to refund half of my money.
Buckhead Location – Kim is the best therapist there. She has wonderful hands and listens to what you need. I have been to many therapist all over and she is so far ahead of anything I have ever tried before. You can not go wrong on any day with her. Please book early for her because her schedule fills up fast. Thanks Kim for everything.
Best massage ever! – I have been a member at Massage Envy, Buckhead, for a few months now and I absolutly love it there! I have found a regular therapist that fits my needs, but if she's not available then who ever they put me with is great too! I recommend this place to all my friends and a few have joined, which gets me a free massage. :) This is definitely the place to relax!
Review for the 650 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta Location – Due to the economy, I needed to freeze my membership. I went in and signed the form - asking ALL the questions necessary to freeze my membership BEFORE the next scheduled payment was done (Friday at 2am). I was also told I couldn't use any of my prepaid during the freeze. So, I asked if I could use 2 of my 3 prepaid on Thursday and have the freeze start right after and to make sure I was not charged on Friday for March.
Last Friday, I was checking my VISA bill and lo and behold... Massage Envy charged me this month!
I called and left a message to please call me back to rectify this situation. NO CALL BACK.
I called a couple days later and got a "The manager will need to research this issue and contact you within the hour..." (It's been 54 hours and I still have yet to receive that promised call).
Needless to say... I'm livid.
Amazing Therapists, Professional Staff – I am so glad I found Massage Envy at Buckhead. The massages at this clinic are always customized to meet your needs: if you have a problem area your therapist can work on that, but if you're just wanting to relax or de-stress they can do that, too! Most of the time you can just walk-in, but on weekends make sure to call early (or try to book by Friday morning for a Saturday or Sunday appointment). Also, the therapists are familiar with a variety of tehcniques - I try to be specific when I call about what I'm looking for because they really try to match you up with the best therapist for you. The BEST part is that the therapists listen to you while you're in your session and if you want something different (like deeper pressure) they'll change and they DON'T get offended. The front desk staff are all lovely and give the clinic a professional, friendly environment. I highly recommend Massage Envy for anyone who wants to improve their quality of life while relaxing and getting pampered!~

Love it
Pros: Allergy-friendly, it IS organic
Cons: expensive
I have been using this forever for my kids. It is expensive, but a bottle will last a long, long time...my DD is almost 16 months and I'm on the same bottle I had when she was born, which wasn't even full then...it really goes a long way. I love that it is allergy-friendly, and contrary to the other review, it is organic...they don't trumpet it all over the label but it is. I would feel nervous to use any other soap than California Baby on my DD, who has multiple food allergies.

Sony's Revolutionary Pellicle Mirror SLT Technology May Be Going Away
Back in August 2010, Sony shook up the camera industry by announcing the first pellicle mirror DSLRs, the A33 and the A55. Rather than being called SLRs, the new cameras were labeled SLT, or "single lens translucent", cameras.
Now, less than three years later, we may be seeing Sony's big SLT experiment coming to an end. Sony's A58 announced back in February may be the company's last APS-C camera to feature pellicle mirror technology.

Inlon Agrimec Group, distributor of the Lamborghinis in Australia, says that it will cease selling the brand's range in June 2011. The twist is that it is referring to Lamborghini-branded tractors, not the exotic Italian cars. Most enthusiasts know that Ferruccio Lamborghini started building tractors. What many don't know, however, is that tractors are still being built under his name.
Same Deutz-Fahr acquired Lamborghini Trattori (Tractors) SpA in 1973 after Ferruccio lost confidence in that business. The tractors wear the name and bull logo of the infamous brand and currently have a 10-model lineup. The company has tried to stay true to the unique styling and superior mechanics that the famous name represents. Its brochure even uses terminology that wouldn't be out of place in a description of one of Automobili Lamborghini Holding SpA's latest offerings: "reliable and technologically evolved… able to compete at the top level in terms of performance, power, class and comfort, with machines of higher rated horsepower." Under Same's tutelage, the company has been able to produce and sell more tractors than the car firm has been able to sell exotics.

Excellent Sound & Design
I did a bit of researching on getting a new pair of headphones, I narrowed it down to theMonster Inspiration, Harman Kardon NC and I did a bit of researching on getting a new pair of headphones, I narrowed it down to theMonster Inspiration, Harman Kardon NC and Sennheiser Momentum. Yes the Momentum has better sound quality but its more expensive and I found the design bulky and uninspiring plus it didn't have noise cancelling. I used to hate Monster for designing the Beats line of products but ever since they split Monster has done a wonderful job of designing these cans. I don't know what the guy who gave these headphones one star, he should definitely have his hearing checked. I love all the included "goodies" included with the headphones. Good job Monster! …

I've reviewed a couple of headphones, from Monster Beats, AKGS, Bose, and to Sennheisers. I have quite an experience with bad head I've reviewed a couple of headphones, from Monster Beats, AKGS, Bose, and to Sennheisers. I have quite an experience with bad headphones (like Beats), but this headphone takes "bad" to the next level.
The sound quality is so horrible that the moment I listened to the headphones I returned it. There was no need to "break" the headphones to get the drivers running. The highs, mids, and even lows were absolutely horrible. You could get better sound quality from Beats, and that's saying something. And at the price range, why not? I'd recommend Beats over Monsters (ironic, because Monster USED to make Beats headphones).
Comfortability wise, the rectangular cups did not fit well with my head. And the weight was rather uncomfortable. The cups were heavy as well because it's not as compact as other headphones. It was quiet uncomfortable.
Aesthetically, this headphone is NOT WHITE. The whole product is actually pearly-peach. A taint of yellow makes this headphone absolutely ugly, and it is not white as it is advertised.
Lastly, built quality. Because of its weight, one would assume that it was well built and sturdy. However, the materials are all plastic. Even the "metallic" looking ear cups are plastic, and they feel like they will snap and crack at anytime (the main body of the headphone (specifically the band and the "metallic" part of the ear cups are literally built from two pieces of plastic slapped together and glued, so the lines of the two pieces are clearly visible and look like they will separate from just usage).
In the end, do not purchase these headphones. They look like plastic, and you're better off purchasing Beats (especially after Monster stopped working with them. The sound quality went up). …

Peter Forsberg is a great player who has often been injured. The Nashville Predators picked him up thinking he would put them "over the top" to win the Stanley Cup. For Nashville, it was a gamble that they thought was worth it. The addition of Forsberg made many fantasy owners scramble for his new teammates such as Alexander Radulov.
While Forsberg does appear to be playing on the top line alongside Paul Kariya and Martin Erat, his injuries and overall impact are questionable. Forsberg has been rumored to have worn over 40 pairs of skates this season, but his foot still does not feel 100% in them. Since joining the Predators it has already been reported that between periods, Forsberg walks in the hallway with his skates off in an attempt to get his foot feeling better. If he is this fragile now, there is plenty of doubt he can play for the long playoff haul. An obvious high risk/high reward for poolies.
The Montreal Canadiens looked really flat and unemotional in Tuesday night's game against the Rangers in which they were shutout. The Canadiens did not appear to be playing like a team that wanted to be in the playoffs or even had a chance. With Sergei Samsonov and Chris Higgins out of the lineup due to the flu, the overall effort was very weak. This team relies too much on Sheldon Souray and his tremendous shot. I'm saying the Habs will slip out of the top eight spots before the playoffs.
One team that could slip into that spot is the Maple Leafs. The acquisition of faceoff expert Yanic Perreault should help. Perreault made an immediate impact on the Coyotes this season after being signed after the season started. His strong play earned him a trip to the All-star game. Perreault's departure from Phoenix hurts Shane Doan but helps his new line mate Jeff O'Neill. O'Neill has played much better than expected this season. While O'Neill does not have the sniper shot he used to have, he is still capable of scoring. Watch for the progress on this line.
Between the Ed Jovanovski injury and the trading of Perreault, Nagy, and Comrie is there any reason to think that the Coyotes will do anything for the rest of the season?
The New York Islanders have been an underrated team all season long. Surprisingly the team got stronger, not weaker after the injury to captain Alexei Yashin. Miroslav Satan and Trent Hunter have resurrected their scoring touch since his absence. The recent additions of Marc- Andre Bergeron and Ryan Smyth should give this team even more offensive punch. Jason Blake, who was happy not to be traded at the deadline, responded with a hat trick the next game.
Bergeron has solid quarterbacking skills. He will steal time from Tom Poti and Chris Campoli on the power play. His shot from the point will lead to more rebound goals. Bergeron's former (and now current) teammate Ryan Smyth, is well aware of playing the power play with him. Also, keep an eye on any reports on the health status of Alexei Yashin. With all these guys scoring, Yashin has to be dying to get back into the lineup and could do so as early as this weekend.
The Rangers, who already have problems on defense, traded their only stay-at-home defensemen Aaron Ward for another offensive defenseman, Paul Mara. Mara could be the missing link on the Ranger power play. The Rangers have been lacking a defenseman that can be a threat and can take the shot on the power play. While on Boston, that role went to Zdeno Chara and Brad Stuart. Mara could shine again like he did in Phoenix. It is rumored that Ward had been feuding back and forth with Jaromir Jagr since an early February game against Tampa Bay. With the injuries to Brendan Shanahan and Martin Straka, this team is going nowhere and will not make the playoffs. Do not be surprised if Coach Tom Renney is fired at some point.
Not much has gone well for the Columbus Blue Jackets this season. Rick Nash, Sergei Fedorov, Nikolai Zherdev, Gilbert Brule, Fredrik Modin, and Anson Carter were all major fantasy disappointments, killing poolies. David Vyborny, Ron Hainsey, and perhaps Rostislav Klesla are among the few worth mentioning for fantasy hockey. The Blue Jackets could have done more to rebuild this team at the trade deadline. It appears they let Bryan Berard take his time getting healthy and then tried to showcase him for a short time prior the trade deadline to show that he could still be an asset. In that short window he did not do much, to say the least. They failed to move him and he was then placed on waivers.
Even on waivers, he was not claimed. Many thought the Devils would jump at him. It is possible money and or fear of disrupting team chemistry may have been a concern for New Jersey. The Blue Jackets did move Carter and picked up goalie Brian Boucher. Carter's success in Vancouver last season was greatly attributed to playing alongside the talented Sedin twins. Expect Carter to fair better in Carolina playing alongside talented linemates Eric Staal and Scott Walker.
The Columbus re-signing of 32-year-old Fredrik Modin to a new multi year contract after quite possibly his worst season since his rookie year is very baffling. Modin, who was a pretty high left wing commodity just a few seasons ago on Tampa Bay, has tremendously declined in value and I do not see that changing. This team had trouble all season long moving the puck up ice and controlling any flow of the game. Modin will continue to fade away just like Fedorov.
Next week Part II:
Todd Bertuzzi - Does this power forward bring the much-needed muscle to Detroit?
Bill Guerin - How does he affect Steve Bernier, Joe Pavelski, & Ryane Clowe?
Nikita Alexeev - So much for playing alongside Martin St. Louis!
Kyle Calder - The man who ruined Philly this season?

Hello all!
As some of you may already know from this thread, Jason added a new item to the store (thank you very much Jason ) with which it is now possible to add additional rendernodes to your A:M licence.
Many have asked for it and I didn't want this info to be buried in a thread with another topic title...
Here you can find additional informations:
- Activation page with Step-by-Step-Instruction
- Hash store - Add rendernodes
- FAQ: How to install my new master0.lic file after I bought more Render Nodes (Win)
- FAQ: How to install my new master0.lic file after I bought more Render Nodes (Mac) (available soon, but the process already works for Macs too)
Some of you may not know what a rendernode is:
A rendernode can be used in combination with A:M Netrenderer and allows you to render with more cores (if available) at the same time.
So if you for example have 3 computers and each one has 4 cores, you can render 12 frames at the same time with A:M Netrenderer (available in v16 for free) in (about) the same time as it would take to render one frame.
Shortly spoken: This enables you to do your own little renderfarm with A:M Netrenderer.
In the store you can now get 4, 10, 25 and 50 rendernodes as a product. And if that is not enough for you: You can of course buy more than just one item for your licence... like that you can for example buy 75 (25 + 50) or 100 (50 + 50) rendernodes, add them to your licence and render with it. (I doubt, that anyone has that many cores standing around, but who knows?)
Best wishes and have fun!

14831 Biscayne Blvd., North Miami Beach,, FL | Directions 3318125.911250 -80.157140

One our family's favorite Mexican restaurants. We eat there on a frequent basis and have never been disappointed!
Affordable, Quality Mexican Food – Although there are other Mexican casual places in the area, I always choose Lime. Why? Because I like the fact that they use only Humanely raised meats and because I am a salsa/hot sauce fanatic! With that in mind, you cannot beat their hot sauce selection or their salsa bar (all homemade btw).
Aside from that, I keep coming back because the staff is always very friendly, it's clean and $7-$10 for quality food is a great value in my mind. Check them out soon!!
horrible place. Stick with Baja Fresh or Chilorios – The food is overpriced for what it is. It's basically Taco Bell but with some gimmicky spin put on it by the owners/founders who started on South Beach.
The food quality sucks. The food is $8-$10 per entree and unlike Baja Fresh or Chilorios this does not include any side. That's right, you get no pintos, no rice and beans, no salad. You get a giant tasteless burrito plopped down on your plate with nothing to accompany it. The food is very heavy on the refried beans and light on ground beef or steak in the case of the quesadillas.
In fact I had an awful steak quesadilla there.
The service is bad, the managers are rude.
If you order the "free water" they give you a clear plastic cup the size of a thimble so you have to constantly get up to refill. It's supposed to shame you into buying a soda drink.
I can't say enough of how awful this place is.
I have absolutely nothing to gain or lose by writing this since I'll recommend Baja Fresh, Chilorios or even Taco Bell over this any day
So-so – As far as less-than-authentic Mexican goes, this place waffles between disappointing and pleasing. I was impressed at first, then they removed my favorite item (mole burrito) from the menu. Over the past few months, I've been losing faith in Lime as they've been inconsistent with their offerings (burritos have been either swollen and filling or meager and unsatisfying). Their food has always tasted good, but for the concept that they seem to have adopted (somewhere between fast food and casual dining), their prices are too high. I can no longer justify spending $10 for a burrito and iced-t that may or may not be satisfying when I can go across the street to Chipotle and be confident that I know what I'll get. However, at its best, Lime is 10x better than Chipotle, but I never know when I'll get Lime's best and when I'll get a mediocre effort from them. Suggestion to Lime: at least be a little more consistent with the amount of chips you dole out - sure, it's nice to get a few more chips than normal during one visit, but how do you suppose I'll feel when I get less than the normal amount on my next visit? I fear that Lime may not be immune to the ostensible Miami dining ethos of "eff the customers." I can't recommend that you avoid Lime, but I don't wholeheartedly recommend that you patronize them either. If you go, just don't believe the hype, go there with realistic expectations. Oh and try the fish tacos, they're a little messy, but they're tasty, and the mess is part of the fun of eating them. Finally, if you're like me, and you love tortilla chips, don't risk being disappointed with the gratis handful, buy a basket of chips (it's refillable). Just don't expect a super cheap meal.
What a mess! – This place is a complete mess. i cannot believe anyone would recommend it to anyone - well maybe as a bad joke. Will anyone open up a REAL fresh mex restaurant around here?
Lime- BEST mexican food ever!! – The person who wrote the review before me is CRAZY!!!!!
Chhipotle has nothing on lime. Lime's food is ALWAYS fresh. Their food is bursting with mouth watering flavor. All of their food is amazing. The quesadillas are great, the lime signature burrito is also yummy. Try the guacamole, it is my personal favorite! Lime is not expensive. you can get a meal for 7 or 8 bucks and it is the same quality (if not better) as if you were to dine in a "sit down" restaurant.
Nothing Special – I've been here several times b/c its fast and in my area. Their mediocre and over-hyped food is barely above average and a bit overpriced. The only reason I gave them two stars is that they have a nice salsa section, but that alone is not worth going. If you want great mexican for a good price try Chipotle Mexican Grill on Biscayne and 150(-/+). Its just across the street in the same plaza as Wine and Spirits. Much better, cheaper, faster, and to top it of, it's all natural (no hormone products). It just opened. Enjoy!!!
Always a good choice – Good food nothing fancy but quick can be crowded during lunch realy good salads the service can be a little confusing if you are a newbie
PAID COMMENTS VS. REALITY – PLASTERING THIS RESTAURANT WITH PAID COMMENTS CAN ONLY GO SO FAR VERSUS REALITY. See if YOU can tell the difference between real and paid employees comments.
Good luck!
love,love,love great prices and great every time – I just love Lime. I am so happy it opened up near my house. Even if you don't like "Mexican food" you should still eat here. I get the Mexican Cesar salad with chicken but its nothing like the "normal" Cesar. It's lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, either chicken or steak, tortilla chips, and I add guacamole.
Everything in there is always good and its fast and great prices.
I recommend this restraint. You pay first and then wait for the food to come. Sometimes getting a table can be annoying because the outside is always full, but you can sit inside.

And since the last couple years haven't really worked out, may you lose that 10 pounds and develop those washboard abs this year. This is your year, I can feel it.
With the excitement of what our culture has determined to be a fresh start, and the soon-to-be frustrations of writing '2013' on your paper only to cross it out and squeeze '2014' in on top of it, we reflect a little and look forward a lot.
I can't speak for the whole year as I moved to northern Nevada at the end of August but what a last four months its been. The Spanish Springs and Sparks boys soccer teams both advanced to the state tournament. The Spanish Springs volleyball team won yet another High Desert League title. And the Reed football program asserted itself as the best in northern Nevada with its third straight North title (also its fourth in five years).
On a personal level, I have enjoyed every day of it. My initiation process into the
journalism field has started. As a 22-year-old writer fresh out of college, I have been already been snarled at, called biased and even had a few profanities thrown my way. So yes, this field is as glamorous as the legends say.
But all that is part of our memory. Now it's time to imagine. Here are three recklessly-optimistic predictions for Rail City basketball programs heading into 2014.
1. The Reed girls basketball program will run the table.
At 6-1 this season the Raiders are doing a pretty solid juggernaut impression. UConn-commit Gabby Williams is back from a torn ACL but is not playing like she suffered the significant knee injury only last winter. For those who haven't seen Williams play, I suggest changing that sometime this winter before you're watching her on ESPN.
But the Raiders are not a one-headed monster. Tyler Sumpter has led the squad in scoring three of the last five contests, including a state-record 50-point outing in a win over Hug before Christmas.
Reed has already topped the defending state champions, Reno, on the Huskies' home floor and just ran through McQueen's Silver State Slam's four games with an average margin of victory of more than 30 points.
The state tournament is hosted at the University of Nevada, Reno this year so Reed could even manage an off-night in the North title game if it is to get that far.
The Raiders' lone loss this season came in the season-opener against Douglas. They didn't have Williams.
Reed coach Sara Schopper-Ramirez, Williams, Sumpter and the rest of the crew will hoist the state title trophy at Lawlor Events Center.
2. The Reed girls basketball team won't be the only Reed basketball program to advance to the state tournament. Let's hear it for the boys.
At 10-3 this season, 3-0 in league games, the Raiders are looking like one of the teams to beat in the North come playoff time. Coach Dustin Hall's crew features legitimate length, athleticism and sniper-like shooting from junior point guard Jamel Ramos.
Ramos set the school record for three-pointers in a game (10), in a 72-46 win over Liberty last Saturday.
Two of the Raiders' three non-league losses (Lowry and Galena) came in games four and five in a brutal five-games-in-five-days stretch to open the season. The Raiders were in a state of flux after four players were just stepping onto the floor after competing in the state football title game the weekend before and didn't have enough practices in.
Reed returned from Las Vegas late Monday night after winning its bracket in a 24-team tournament. The Raiders finished second in their round-robin pool before claiming the gold bracket, winning its three elimination games by an average of 16 points.
As the boys state tournament is also at Lawlor this winter, Reed would advance to the Nevada Final Four by winning its North quarterfinal and semifinal matchups.
Lawlor is used to being (Wolf Pack) blue, not so much the gold. That will change. The Raider boys will join the girls at state.
3. The Spanish Springs boys basketball team will host a playoff game for the second straight year.
The Cougars sit at 7-6, 2-1 in league games — having played only one home game so far — heading into the thick of their league schedule. The record is not so three-dimensional it's jumping off the stat sheet but the Cougars tested themselves with their non-league schedule, as usual.
The Purple competed in three California tournaments including a trip to San Diego last weekend that nearly saw them best one of the best schools in Oregon, Lincoln (Portland), before falling 49-46.
Senior phenom Kenny Meyer is averaging 19.6 points a game and is certainly capable of dropping 27 on a given night, when his team needs a win to clinch a home playoff game, for example.
After lengthy road trips, sleeping on hotel beds and playing against elite competition, coach Kyle Penney's team will certainly enjoy the friendly confines of the Truckee Meadows.
Through 13 games, last year's Cougars were 9-4, two games ahead of this year's group, but had only played three games out of the state. The 2013-14 crew, has only played three games in the state.
Spanish Springs has a massive gym and it will be bouncing come playoff time for the boys.
