it's as if something was really blurred from seeing, i keep looking through it and wondering what's that behind this kaleidoscopic glass
I believe this is yours, completely original. However, I just wanted to let you know... I think you've been ripped off.
I am so sorry to see what Urban Outfitters has done. Will never buy from them again and hope you get your money's worth of damages :(
The only great thing about UO ripping you off is that your blog article that is trending because of it is really getting you publicity. So, you could look at it as the universe's way of conspiring to get you more sales.
@spires - no offence but how is what UO doing any different to your copying of Simon C. Page's designs for profit? I saw your complaint about being ripped off on Facebook and as soon as I saw your designs, I thought: oh it's that guy who does the iPad wallpapers as made popular by Joshua Topolsky on The Verge. But no, you're just copying his designs and making money off them. Much like what you claim UO is doing to you. What goes around comes around, wouldn't you say?
Awesome work - but UO isn't ripping you off - BamBam is, they don't own BamBam, they buy wholesale from them...but good publicity.
@Tom Clarke - Spires' designs aren't rip offs of Simon C. Page. They are both geometric artists, but Spires' work has a spacial depth that other geometric pattern makers lack. Urban Outfitters clearly used Spires' exact pattern. Can you show me any place where Spires has used someone's exact pattern?
Thanks for your support Mike! I'm sure there are many artists that work with shapes. I try to bring my own approach, which I'm happy with and thousands of customers are also happy with!
One thing that's come out of your UO ordeal are a few new followers, myself included! I love your work so much I can't even cope *rragghhh!!!*
Hi there! Isn't that one of your designs in this Chinese shop at Dawanda? Do you know about this?
Interesting! I reckon you might like mine too! http://society6.com/product/wake-up-a...rsonalidea

Very unlikely. As far as we know, Aku is unaware that Mimi is there. Just as well, he may still be in the spa with Him. We don't know if what we're seeing is happening while Him is visiting Aku, or after he already did. Lastly, Aku can't avoid his color scheme when he shifts. He would look nothing like Jeff.pandabear wrote:I think it is Aku and his/her phase shifting form that tricked Mimi out.

Equally comfortable on both football and baseball fields, Sanders will surely go down in history as one of the greatest players to ever play in the NFL. In addition to being one of the most feared defensive players due to his raw speed, Sanders could play both sides of the line, becoming one of only two NFL players to score touchdowns six different ways. Due to his outstanding level of play as cornerback, Sanders helped both the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys to Super Bowl victories with Sanders himself becoming a back-to-back Super Bowl champion. All in all, Sanders accumulated 53 interceptions for 1,311 yards and 9 touchdowns. Complete your 49ers memorabilia collection with this Riddell miniature replica throwback helmet autographed by Deion Sanders! It comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity from Palm Beach Autographs and a photograph of Sanders during the signing.

I'm relatively new to loose teas; started about 9 months ago. Already, it's becoming an obsession.
My favorite is Japanese tamaryokucha sencha & kabusencha, from Mellow Monk. I really enjoyed a recent pu-erh, from Verdant Tea. Their oolong is quite delicious, too. So far, Verdant's teas are the only ones which even approach the flavor complexity, intensity, refinement, and versatility of Mellow Monk's. Both, have excellent customer service.
I love using my kyusu, because it's quick and easy. However, lately, I've began experimenting with gongfu-style preparation, using a gaiwan. I'm making some progress, but I still have a lot to learn. I'm always open to suggestions, or advice. So, feel free, and don't be a stranger.
I've tested this method with my favorite Mellow Monk teas, and was simply blown away. The more teas I try, the more I keep coming back to the Monk. Also, the more things I compare it to, the more I find to enjoy in it. It took me a short while to acquire a taste for it, but now that I have, there's simply nothing to compare it to.
Lately, I'm falling more in love with a bold, and intense grassy note, and have been adjusting my steep times & temps accordingly. This is another one of the many benefits of, and testament to, the versatility of Mellow Monk's fine teas.
I've been receiving some interesting suggestions from other reviewers, and I'm looking forward to trying these other teas.
So far, everyone on Steepster has been very kind, and welcoming, and I look forward to participating in the community.
Tulsa, OK

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have stage 3B rectal cancer. I am currently in the first chem/radiation session(5.5 weeks) Taking Oxaliplatin 1X week and Xeloda 5X week. I had an allergic reaction to the Oxaliplatin and the oncologist stopped it. Is there something I can take in place of oxaliplatin during the second (5 months) course of chemo?
Jenia Jenab-Wolcott, MD, PhD, Gastroenterologist at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
It would be ideal to continue the oxaliplatin if it is safe. The options also depend on your exact allergic reaction. If you had a mild skin reaction one could argue for a second attempt at giving the oxaliplatin with addition of increased doses of pre-medication such as steroids (with more extended course/slower withdrawal) and anti-histamines. One could also attempt at slowing the infusion of oxaliplatin (longer infusion time). If you had a more severe reaction such as-- lip swelling, throat tightening, difficulty breathing, change in your blood pressure, loss of consciousness we would not generally recommend re-challenging you with this drug. The options would be re-attempt at oxaliplatin, or continue with only 5-FU/leucovorin. We would NOT recommend adding another chemotherapy agent (such as irinotecan) or a biological agent (such as bevacizumab) in this adjuvant setting. You should have a discussion with your oncologist for the best treatment course.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series, Colorectal cancer Webchat. View the entire transcript here.
Dec 8, 2010 - Many serious or potentially fatal adverse reactions associated with new, targeted anticancer agents are not reported in the original published research on the drug and are not known to oncologists until years later, when updated drug labels, including boxed warnings, are required, according to research published online Dec. 6 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Marfan syndrome is a disorder of connective tissue. This is the tissue that strengthens the body's structures.
Disorders of connective tissue affect the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, eyes, and skin.
Marfan syndrome is caused by defects in a gene called fibrillin-1. Fibrillin-1 plays an important role as the building block for connective tissue in the body.
The gene defect also causes the long bones of the body to grow too much. People with this syndrome have tall height and long arms and legs. How this overgrowth happens is not well understood.
Other areas of the body that are affected include:
In most cases, Marfan syndrome is passed down through families (inherited). However, up to 30% of patients have no family history, which is called "sporadic." In sporadic cases, the syndrome is believed to be caused by a new gene change.
People with Marfan syndrome are very often tall with long, thin arms and legs and spider-like fingers (called arachnodactyly). The length of the arms is greater than height when arms are stretched out.
Other symptoms include:
The doctor will perform a physical exam. The joints may move around more than normal. There may also be signs of:
An eye exam may show:
The following tests may be performed:
An echocardiogram or another test should be done every year to look at the base of the aorta and possibly the heart valves.
Vision problems should be treated when possible.
Monitor for scoliosis, especially during the teenage years.
Medicine to slow the heart rate may help prevent stress on the aorta. To avoid injuring the aorta, people with the condition should avoid participating in contact sports. Some people may need surgery to replace the aortic root and valve.
People with Marfan syndrome who have heart valve conditions may need to take antibiotics before dental procedures to prevent endocarditis (infection of the valves). Pregnant women with Marfan syndrome must be monitored very closely because of the increased stress on the heart and aorta.
National Marfan Foundation -- www.marfan.org
Heart-related complications may shorten the lifespan of people with this disease. However, many people live into their 60s. Good care and surgery may further extend lifespan.
Complications may include:
Couples who have this condition and are planning to have children may want to talk to a genetic counselor before starting a family..
Spontaneous new gene mutations leading to Marfan (less than 1/3 of cases) cannot be prevented. If you have Marfan syndrome, see your doctor at least once every year.

AST (aspartate aminotransferase) is an enzyme found in high amounts in liver, heart, and muscle cells. It is also found in lesser amounts in other tissues.
This article discusses the test to measure the amount of AST in the blood.
Aspartate aminotransferase; Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase; SGOT
A blood sample is needed. It is usually taken from a vein. This is called a venipuncture .
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is mainly done along with other tests (such as ALT , ALP , and bilirubin) to diagnose and monitor liver disease .
The normal range is 10 to 34 IU/L.
Note: IU/L = international units per liter
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Increased AST levels are usually a sign of liver disease. Liver disease is even more likely if other liver-related blood tests are abnormal.
An increase in AST levels may be due to:
AST levels may also increase after:
Veins vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
AST levels may rise during pregnancy and after exercise.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 2
Rated 3 out of 5�by SportySpice Super Tight!
I'll start off by saying this dress is super cute (for really skinny girls!) I'm 5'7", 155lbs, I'm thin but have what I call "a bellie issue"(and I think the rest of my weight is in my size 10 feet). Anyways, I ordered the M/L and I could barely get it over my head. Then when I got it around my stomach it was really tight. The material is stretchy and shows all the curves. Awesome dress but I just wish there was a larger option, like a true large. The M/L size is really a S/M fit. I had to return it to the store. I do love how easy bebe makes the ordering and returns tho.

I love this dress. It is so versatile. I can wear it for a formal occasion, such as a wedding, or I can wear it for a casual get together at a bar. It looks amazing on. I know I will get a lot of use out of this dress.

Episode Information
Today's show has several elements, including, near the end, a rare chance to try what we call open lines. I'll have a few stray topics to cover in that stretch and I welcome your calls on other issues.
We'll begin with one of those odd stories where fiction bleeds back into fact. It's the story of a Connecticut man who set out to break a fictional record. And he succeeded. The record was set in the reality of Seinfeld on an arcade game called Frogger. But Frogger is real, and our guest today is now the real-life Frogger record holder. In a way, the whole segment nicely sets up tomorrow's show which will explore the question of whether what we live in is actually reality.
Also, Thursdays are now the day we talk about eating patterns, and today we'll share some stories from an adventure we all had last Saturday when we went shopping together at a farmer's market.
You can join the conversation. Leave your comments below or e-mail email@example.com
Location of Farmer's Market?
Where is the farmer's market mentioned on the show?
Listener E-mail from Charles
Great show today! I had no idea there were farmers markets in CT in the winter.
Colin you mentioned in passing that you aren't at the point of making your own bread. Now, I know I'm venturing into food schmooze territory here, but you don't know what you're missing out on until you try making up a batch of no knead bread. NYT ran an article about no knead bread a while back, and there are a couple of great videos on youtube with in depth explanations. Just google it, and you should find plenty of info. It's a dirt simple method and very forgiving recipe for making bread on par with fresh artisan bakery bread with very little time, equipment, or money. You'll need a bowl, an oven proof pot with lid, flour, water, yeast, salt, and about 10 minutes of 'hands on' time over two days. That's it! I think there is even a video of a toddler making a batch out on the internet somewhere.
The basic recipe follows. I've tried changing all sorts of stuff, and have found this to be a very resilient and forgiving process.
Let me know if you try it out. There isn't anything quite like fresh, hot, crusty homemade bread.
Also this months Fine Cooking magazine had a great spread on how to make braised beef short ribs. The article was like a tutorial on process followed by a 'choose your own adventure' sort of recipe guide based on what you may have on hand to spice/deglaze/braise/garnish with. Worth a quick read if you come across it.
In a large bowl, mix 3c. flour, 1.5c. water, 1t salt, 1/2 t. dry yeast enough to form a shaggy, wet, sad looking dough.
Cover, and let rest 12-18 hours in a warm place.
Turn the bubbly, stringy mass onto a floured surface. Fold in half once. Fold in half again. Cover, let rest 2 hours.
Preheat oven (with oven proof pot with lid inside) to 450-500F.
Plop dough blob into hot pot. Cover. Cook 30 minutes covered. Cook 15 minutes uncovered. Cool on wire rack.
Eat. Preferably with some olive oil, cracked pepper and basil.
Winter Farmers' Markets
There are an ever-increasing number of winter farmers' markets here in the state. The Department of Agriculture keeps a listing on the Publications page of its website, www.CTGrown.gov. Here's a direct link:

So, I have an 80's raleigh bike, reassembled from spare parts. I'm wondering what the best way to get more speed out of the bike is. Wheels? Gears? Lighter gear? Different pedals? I'm rather fond of the frame, so I'd rather not replace that.
Gabe, If you love the frame, and are willing to spend the money to keep it, start upgrading everything else. Start with: Wheels/tires - rotating mass will slow you down the most - go to aluminum wheels and thin/light tires size 23 or 25. Bottom Crank - Once again rotating mass, you can get some hollow core cranks, and adjust the chainring sizes to the biggest you can push. You can save a few grams by going to a compact crank versus a triple. Shifters/derailleur(s) - get some aero shifters/brakes, and upgrade to a lighter front/rear derailleur. Seat post, handlebars, stem - On an old raleigh, they are probably steel - you can get inexpensive aluminum replacements. Seat - get rid of the OG heavy seat and get something more comfortable and lighter. From expensive and most effective, to least expensive/effective, thats the list off the top of my head. Good luck on your decision, and keep those old Raleighs going, they are great bikes :) |
The only thing that will make the bike have a higher top speed (on the flats) is changing the gearing. Bigger rings up front and smaller cogs in the back. Beyond that: start training. You're the engine, after all. |
Honestly. Get a new bike. Technology has changed greatly since the 80's bikes are much lighter, comfortable and stiffer thanks to space age technologies like carbon fiber. Can't afford it, check craigslist. That being said. If your are really attached to your bike. You will see the best performance improvement in new tires and wheels. When you accelerate your bike you have to put almost twice as much energy/gram into the wheels get them moving. This is due to the fact that you not only get them translating horizontally, but to also have to get them rotating. |
the cheapest ways to go faster are to get high pressure tires--120 or even 140 psi (sorry I don't know what that is in kBar)--and keep them at high pressure. For the highest pressure tires, this means pumping them up every time you ride. For 50 bucks (US) or so, you can't go wrong with this upgrade, because you can transfer them to a new bike if you if want to upgrade everything else. keeping your chain well greased, and riding with the chain in the proper gears can also increase efficiency slightly, and at no cost. By 'proper gears', I mean that you lose some small amount of efficiency by, for example, having the chain in the large front chainring and the large back cog (you wouldn't normally ride like that, but this is for illustrative purposes), because the chain isn't 'straight'. I believe that improving 'Q-factor' is a similarly small increase in efficiency. edit: additionally, if you haven't checked this already, take the cranks off and try to spin the bottom bracket spindle by hand. You may need to repack the bottom bracket (or buy a sealed cartridge BB. can go for as little as US $20). Stickiness and crunchiness can be hard to detect when spinning the spindle with the cranks on because the cranks add so much more leverage. You get a much better feel for the condition of your BB when spinning it by hand like this. |
Make sure you have street tires. Knobbies will slow you down. Make sure your wheels spin freely. If the hubs are jammed, or the brakes drag, that will slow you down. After that, changes you make to the bike won't affect your speed very much, perhaps only enough to matter in racing. Changes to your fitness will matter more. You can reduce rolling resistance (change tires, pump them up). You can reduce windage (mostly in your posture). You can reduce weight (in the wheels first). Where you ride will affect where the biggest wins are. Personally, I would focus on reliability and fun over speed, but you gotta find what's right for you. Go to your local bike shop and ask to test ride different bikes, and see what you think. It's hard to get objective comparisons of the speed of different bikes, but you may learn about what you like more. |
I ride several different types of bikes for recreation. among them are a trusty 700c raleigh tri lite, a Trustier pink Giant Acapulco with front and back big steel pannier baskets (heavy), a 16" dual suspension mongoose tiny mountain bike with 20 inch tires and 5 inch cranks (legendary leg workouts to be had here) so those are my three bikes. The hills around here are tough but there are also a lot of flats in town. so heres what i will say! when it comes to hills the lighter you and your bike are the faster you will go. Ice cream is your Enemy, Steaks, Deviled eggs, Pie. After an hour or so of hard riding without any food i usually start to 'plane out' some. it is a tired leg burning feeling. but accompanying it is a lighter feeling and keeping momentum seems to get easier. this is probably the fat cells in my body resorting to the 'Beta phase' glycogen release mode. where bust strentch is exhausted and the flow begins to trickle out what glycogen is left... snacking while riding is HARD! (well. maybe not so hard on flat ground) all these little energy shot edible goo packages i see littering the roadside are supposed to get you back into burst mode, give them a try if you want but please dont litter! Trail mix works great too. Working off all the excess poundage and then supplying yourself with a steady stream of lightweight nutritious food ONLY AS NEEDED will make you go faster. IT can be done a lot faster than you think! i think i remember losing 12 or 14 pounds of bodyweight in one day a couple of times. and will routinely drop 5 or 7 pounds if i go 25 or 35 miles on either of my slower wide tire bikes. just get out biking and tell yourself ! i am not going to stop riding till this feels easier! when it starts to feel easier your body has 'planed out' and you have begun the long long road to good health and vitality. ignore your rumbling stomach and ride on. you may not quite be 'In the zone' just yet but you are getting there. herein is the key to really getting faster! and it really is good for your body as well. when it comes to the Wind and flats the heavier you are, the better. now this sounds conterintuitive but it is sort of true.... sort of. by sort of i mean that moving that heavy bike and your heavy self is obviously up to you!!! but if you are in good shape and can tackle hills on a steel bike, pie ice cream and all then wind is not going to stop you, and momentum does come into play against it. EG a leaf blows away in the wind but not a rock. flat ground is good ground on a bike. wind plus hills = tough We are Living creatures, constantly growing and such, doing things the hard way sometimes is an effective shortcut to get to the point where you will eventually break down, have to learn new things, change, and re emerge hopefully better stronger faster harder. provided you did things 'right'. otherwise trying things the hard way will most likely result in giving up right off the batt or stubbornly injuring yourself faster than your body can cope with. so back to bikes. a quality steel bike is more stable in the wind, the more weight you have under you the lower your Center of mass will be. any road bike is trickier to handle than a mountain bike due to more precise tracking, tallness and smaller footprint. the lighter and taller your bike is the less stable it becomes. not to mention less crashworthy in both cases. the Tiny bike i ride is LOW, the pedals clear the ground by and inch or two. it is not geared for fastness but it is low and compact and aerodynamically 'not that bad' screaming down steep hills at 38 mph it feels actually really safe. the incredible lowness and strong bmx handlebars, the short top tube all lend themselves to being able to put your body over the back wheel and lock the brakes down without losing control. i once T stopped this bike from about 28 mph to a stop after coming down a really steep road in the sprinkling rain. aside from eating through a good rear tire in 2 seconds, i learned that this tiny hard to pedal 7 speed really was my best bike. It is Safe and it is slow, and it is suprisingly comfortable. It has 4 bike pegs on it and it can be ridden like a jetski or a street luge. anyway , thought id give you bikers another perspective on things. Be the slow guy! he goes home tireder and wakes up stronger. LOL and if you really ride on flats mostly and want the answer to your question from left field HERE IT IS! get out your electric drill, or borrow your friends if you dont have one. take that classic steel bike that feels so fat and unloved in this modern era. AND START DRILLING HOLES IN IT! leave the rear triangle alone it is probably too skinny. drill holes through the sides of Everything else, even multiple rows if you want. id leave the tops and bottoms of the tubes alone and the corresponding front and back of the fork, because i think the bottom of each tube bears the most weight, then the top, then the sides, that is just a guess. Drill lots of holes everywhere so that they are horizontal to the ground and cross the bike right to left, same with your handlebars through the sides. Space em out at least a centimeter and make sure when youre done to Spray paint the whole thing real good (rustOleum) and check to make sure the frame is not overweakened on some grass. add drain holes if there are not any for water. a friend of mine just took an old shwinn world sport 700c bike to the scrap metal dealer and now that i think about it i really should have done this to it! all those little steel circles would really add up. Line the frame with saran wrap if the holes causing drag seems an issue! Really folks it is just that simple! i am so suprised that no one actually answered this guys question except with 'spend money on this' or 'spend money on that' when you can just drill holes in the bike and make it lighter. I do NOT reccommend this for anywhere where there are hills, or for anyone who is of a heavy build! stay safe out there. i hope i have covered the many facets that make up of bicycle speeed, offered multiple ways to creatively and inexpensively Speed up your bike and yourself (while ignoring the obvoius answer of out with the old in with the new), and also offered a counterpoint of the drawbacks of having an overfast bike and its effects on safety, workout quality, and durability. The End sincerely -Carl Langner |
It isn't the bike. It is the rider. Unless you are at 6% body fat and have done all you can to improve your output your best improvement in speed is yourself. |
I'm not sure if this is a "legal" answer since it involves upgrading you as well. I highly recommend getting cycling shoes if you don't have it. It's almost a direct conversion of money to performance with minimal additional effort. |
Besides cutting fat and growing your quads, if u wanna keep this frame going I would increase your gearing and then just get strong enough to crank on the higher ratios. But I feel that once you start shooting for speed you need to get a modern bike. Even the crappiest newer group components are worlds apart from the 80's parts. But a combo of good gearing for your fitness level, awesome wheel set(wheels are the most important part!) and focus your training on your pedal stroke technique should help you go faster. Also find a hill and point down. |
New aluminum road bikes will help to increase your speed a lot. is not just the rider but a combo of rider and bike that makes up your riding speed. |

Precious Stone
The General Assembly of 1973 designated the emerald as the official State Precious Stone. (Session Laws, 1973, c. 136).
A greater variety of minerals, more than 300, have been found in North Carolina than in any other state.
These minerals include some of the most valuable and unique gems in the world. An emerald crystal weighing 1869 carats, thought to be the largest ever found in North America, was unearthed in late 2003 at a mine in Hiddenite, near Statesville. A 71-carat stone found on the same property yielded two finished stones--the 7.85 carat Carolina Prince that sold for $500,000, and the Carolina Queen (18.88 carats).
Session Laws, 1973, c. 136
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1. Chapter 145 of the North Carolina General Statutes is amended by adding the following section thereto:
"§ 145-8. The Emerald is hereby adopted as the official State precious stone of the State of North Carolina."
Sec. 2. This act shall become effective upon the opening of the National Gem Show in Charlotte June 28, 1973.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 5th day of April, 1973.

North Carolina does not currently have an official state cat or feline, although at least four other states do (Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Maine). Write your representatives in the North Carolina General Assembly and suggest it. You can use this link to find your state representatives: http://www.ncleg.net/Representation/WhoRepresentsMe.aspx

Thread: Oven Fried Pork Chops
#1 Oven Fried Pork Chops12-21-2010, 07:44 PM
Super easy, super fast and dang tasty!:D
Started getting Christmas dinner sorted out and started cooking tonite and I had pork chops defrosted, this was a fast way to do them without the mess and grease of frying!
It also freed up burners on the stove to boil pigskins and a pot for bubbling sauce!
pork chops ( I had center cut and took the bone out)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup herb seasoned stuffing mix or 1 cup herbed breadcrumbs (I used panko)
Trim the fat from the meat.
2 Pour butter into a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
3 Combine eggs, water, and pepper.
4 Dip the pork chops into the egg mixture.
5 Coat with stuffing mix or bread crumbs.
6 Place pork chops in the pan.
7 Bake in a 425 degree oven for 10 minutes. Turn chops. Bake about 10 minutes more or till no pink remains and juices run clear.
( mine took a little longer, go for 160 on the meat thermometer)
Served with Green Giant green beans!
Part one of Christmas dinner done! Cotechinata !

Patriot those pig skins look familiar. I usually throw them in the pot when I'm making Sunday sauce. My mother rolls them with a breadcrumb stuffing, sort of like a log then sliced, YUMMY...must be eaten the same day. They don't do well in the microwave.

You'd like my mother's stuffed cutine. and people who have never tried them, don't know what they are missing. Which is good, this way it stays cheap for those of us that do.
I recall a time that oxtails were dirt cheap, something only jamaicaans ate. Then the news got out and everyone started making them, and the price increased significantly on them.

If this doesn't get a deal done, I don't see what will. $182 million seems like a lot. But, it's not that much spread out over 5 years of a $3+ billion/year business.
EDIT: Some of the other terms are coming out and it isn't quite as awesome of an offer as it first seemed. But, still, if this doesn't serve as the framework for negotiations, nothing ever will.

Trying to find the best cordless phone can be daunting, particularly if you want to buy one with features such as extra loud ring volume or the ability to use it hands free. This test looks at models that work with an extra handset, providing added versatiliy. All models were tested with an extra handset, while models that were only available as a single handset were tested using an additional handset of the same model or brand.
This article contains our test results for a range of cordless models without answering machines, as well as general information on what to consider when buying a cordless phone. We rated each model for:
For more information on Home phones, see Electronics.
As well as the test results for 11 models you'll also get:
All models were tested at an external lab following a method developed by CHOICE, meeting strict quality standards.
Ease of use Our testers consider factors such as clarity of the instruction manual, feel and comfort of the handset, if the screen is easy to read and any other special features.
Sound quality They assess speech clarity and loudness, line noise and background noise reduction on each model, with a panel of three users making calls in a moderately noisy environment.
Range They take the phones outside a brick house while the base still has a direct line of sight, to measure how far they can still have an intelligible conversation.
Battery life They set the phones to talk and standby (with a 10 day limit on the standby test), and time how long each setting runs from a full battery. They also time how long the phones take to recharge.
Extra handset They test how simple and easy is it to follow instructions and set up the extra handset, as well as locating the base station.
9 Feb 2011 | We look at existing landline and mobile options as well as some cutting-edge alternatives.
28 Apr 2014 | We review a range of cordless phones, with one corded landline in the mix, including models from Panasonic, Telstra, Uniden and more.
21 Jul 2011 | We look at models that work with an extra handset, providing added versatility.

Ask a Designer: Create an organization hub at home
Thursday, January 17, 2013
Getting a family organized requires more than a few well-chosen New Year's resolutions. Increasingly, homeowners are carving out a physical space — anything from a single kitchen cabinet to an entire spare room — that can function as a family information center and workstation. |

This is the promise of The Advantage, Patrick Lencioni's bold manifesto about the most unexploited opportunity in modern business. In his immensely readable and accessible style, Lencioni makes the case that there is no better way to achieve profound improvement in an organization than by attacking the root causes of dysfunction, politics, and confusion.
While too many leaders are still limiting their search for advantage to conventional and largely exhausted areas like marketing, strategy, and technology, Lencioni demonstrates that there is an untapped gold mine sitting right beneath them. Instead of trying to become smarter, he asserts that leaders and organizations need to shift their focus to becoming healthier, allowing them to tap into the more-than-sufficient intelligence and expertise they already have.
The author of numerous best-selling business fables including The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and Death by Meeting, Lencioni here draws upon his 20 years of writing, field research, and executive consulting to some of the world's leading organizations. He combines real-world stories and anecdotes with practical, actionable advice to create a work that is at once a great read and an invaluable, hands-on tool. The result is, without a doubt, Lencioni's most comprehensive, significant, and essential work to date.
©2012 Patrick Lencioni (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Good book for leaders of an organization"
The author calls it "organizational health." I prefer to think of it as an authentic organization. Health gives the impression that it's a matter of following a regiment of good habits. Whereas authentic implies that it has to come from within the individuals. The book applies to leaders of an organization, not so much to workers. If you're not a manager, you would not even get to practice the first discipline of building a cohesive team (build trust, work through conflicts, commit to decisions, be accountable, and focus on results). The other three disciplines really need to come the top leadership of the organization - create clarity in purpose and direction of the organization, over communicate that message, and reinforce that message.
"More please"
I have read all Patrick Lencioni's books twice, except for this one because it only came out in March. I plan to read it again within a year. I liked his book because it combined content from all his books. It is almost a how to lead and run a company. Though I wish it had a fable. By the time I got to the end of the book I wanted to read it again. So there was only initial disappointment that it did not have a fable.
The message.
His passion.
How leadership should be executed.
Wish it had a fable. Patrick's fables are fun and comprehendible.
"Poor performance, awful recording!"
A friend tells me there is some good information in this book, but I didn't make it far enough into the audiobook to know for myself.
Have someone else record it perhaps.
The audiobook performance is flat and lifeless, and the recording is AWFUL. Every minute or two there's a loud klonking noise as if the narrator is slapping a podium. The timing of these jarring noises makes them even worse - it's just long enough between klonks to let you start hoping you've heard the last one, and then KLONK, another smack upside your brain.
Frustration that I wasted my time and money on something so poorly produced.
"Good were at unique repetitive when it's not"
Spoke has a lot of good points about how to improve communication among leaders and how to organize and set the tone of the organization. The latter half of the book dealing with HR hiring and related topics is rather flat and there are better resources available.
"Good compilation"
Lencioni pulls together his best work to provide an overview for the reader. It's interesting and helps one to be able to see the big picture. Good place to start if beginning work on an orgnaization.
Sincerity in Leadership. Sales Enablement and Performance. Speaker and Author. But what I realIy do is help people be the best they can be.
"The first chapter is all you need."
The first chapter was compelling and did bring some excellent points. That is all you need to hear. I'm not much for popular press books in business since they become a platform for opinion, and though Mr. Lencioni does have experience in this area of business, the examples utilized did not do much for me as to convince me of his thesis. Chapter one is a good HBR article, thats it.
"Worth every minute"
Very clear and concise on the message
Lots of life examples
This was my first one
Not really, it was all good
Every leader, manager, or executive should read or listen to this book and actually do what is suggested. It works!
"Excellent book, well-read by the author himself"
In my opinion Lencioni's model for a healthy organization is very good! The audible read is well done, and read by the author himself. Lencioni reads well. I had listened to some of his talks on youtube, so was especially glad to hear him read his own book. Lencioni states the premise of his book thusly: "The single greatest advantage any company can achieve is organizational health. Yet it is ignored by most leaders even though it is simple, free, and available to anyone who wants it." I am a pastor of a Presbyterian Church, and although there are significant differences in a church and business and what makes them healthy, nevertheless, the church functions as an organization in part, and much of what Lencioni says is as applicable to the church in that respect as to other organizations. Because the "leadership team" of churches -- especially smaller and middle-sized churches -- is scattered throughout the week, some of his comments about "meetings" are not feasible; but others are very significant. This book brings together the models presented in several business fables Lencioni has written, and I personally am very appreciative of both the fables and this compilation of his thought. I highly commend it.
"Best Business Book in decades"
This is a great common sense book that will help any business!
This is the best overall book - it is the result of many years of experience and study
You will learn something from this book about working in and leading businesses
"Hits the nail on the head!"
Patrick does an excellent job presenting his latest book. This book ranks among the best I have listened to.
Surprisingly few people have written about organizational health in this manner. This is really helpful stuff. Books like Good to Great, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, and Start with WHY mesh well with the message presented in The Advantage.
It is even more impactful when the author presents the book himself.
It caused me to be introspective.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Infiltrating the lives of others you accept

What is the truth that you have not

of you? You want to live a life in Christ
I would hope you could see yourself
out of much more. Pick yourself back up.
Don't be a cheater.
I doubt anything here was unknown and whatever words are used, a promise was made and that promise is designed so that it is supposed to endure hardship. How would Christ feel about someone who breaks their promises when the squall hits? Is it ok to break the promise once the mate breaks the promise first? Christ was bound to serve God and what if when he started getting tortured he decided to no longer serve God? I'm sure He'd understand better than anyone the desire to lead a healthier life. Well I might have to do something even if it's not "ok". It's not that I don't think ethics apply to me but I, perhaps selfishly, am contemplating leaving it behind me so as to be genuinely happier.
