Welp, so after almost a full week, I finally got around to writing the review. Sorry if I had you waiting this long. So now, after four revisions, here's the latest version of my review!
A little shout-out to my born-to-be-a-photographer sister too, who took the pics earlier this afternoon.
The 小米活塞 – the Xiaomi Pistons, if you will – are probably the most interesting headphones I've seen so far. This is because they have a look, feel, and sound that could be found in headphones at least double its price – all in a simple, compact, and super-cheap package. They retail at 99元, which when converted would be only $16. Yes, you read that right – 16 dollars. And evidently, 16 dollars is only a few more bucks above the Philips SHE-3590, also a very good budget earphone (about $8-10). But what makes the Pistons so good is that at an almost rock-bottom price of $16 dollars, you have beryllium drivers in them. What are they, and why are they so interesting? Read on below to find out.
"Beryllium, atomic number 4, atomic weight of 9.012182, is the lightest of the alkaline earth metals. Under normal conditions, it has a light steel gray color, is lighter than conventional aluminum and titanium, is four times the strength of steel, and is an indispensable material in nuclear energy, rockets, missiles, aviation, and metallurgy. It has stable mechanical properties, and it has such strength and hardness that it can only be cut with diamonds. Compared to titanium, beryllium alloy is three times harder, 1.5 times lighter, up to 3 times faster transmission speed, and is also 100 times more expensive.
The new Xiaomi Pistons' diaphragms utilize the hardest of all metallic elements, which is nearly 5 times more expensive than gold through a high-tech process to create the world's first beryllium diaphragm ear-phone. Xiaomi partnered with its in-house design team to develop a new type of headphone diaphragm using this beryllium alloy. The beryllium diaphragm, using a vacuum-coating process, gives full play to the light, rigid, flexible beryllium, only with a thickness of 2 µm. As a result, the new Pistons have a wider and smoother frequency response, enhancing the high treble range from 10 KHz to 20 KHz. In contrast, earphone roll-off typically occurs from 10 KHz onwards. The beryllium diaphragm also enhances the bass region, making it more stable, tight, clear, and clean, without interfering with the higher frequencies.
Beryllium diaphragms have been used in only a handful of high-end audio products, such as JBL's top-of-the-line flagship speaker, the JBL K2 S9800, which is priced as high as 250,000元. And because of this beryllium diaphragm now used in the new Xiaomi Pistons, its sound quality can be significantly improved."
(Source: bbs.xiaomi.cn/thread-8722000-1-1.html. Translation may not be fully accurate.)
Well, hopefully that comparatively long explanation should be able to answer the questions behind beryllium and its use in the Xiaomi Pistons. But how they managed to put such an expensive material (I believe the article wrote that it is 5x the price of gold) into such an inexpensive earphone is beyond me. They probably found a gold mine of the metal somewhere (which is impossible considering its Rarity). They might have discovered unicorns and trained them to find the precious metal.
But anyway, I don't need to add any more MLP references right now. Right now, I have the Pistons on my desk, and honestly, I don't know why they call it the Pistons. Though they do look like the top half of an engine piston (take out the tips and you'll see), they look so beautiful and refined in its royal gold color that I don't know if it's worth calling it the 'Pistons,' because real pistons look kinda crude to me. Nevertheless, let's just get on with the review.
Out of the Box
The Pistons' box is undeniably small and compact. Xiaomi hired a design team, 1More Design (link), to design the Pistons (as well as its predecessor). The result is a strikingly beautiful headphone, which although it might look almost the same with the first Pistons, it has a more refined and formal look to it (just the gold, really) that really shows that it means business.
1More Design has a lot of design geniuses in the team in my opinion, because of their really creative box design, which is in fact made from one piece of recycled paper. It unfolds, one after the other, to reveal the actual case of the earphones inside. The box is also labeled with a lot of useful tips, such as how to know which earphone is for which ear, or for how to return the earphones back into its casing. I had a lot of trouble figuring out both, but the box was a lot of help. Strangely, it doesn't have anything that advertises the earphone at all at first glance. On the bottom side of the box, you get a short bulleted list of its features, but that's about it. No literature, not safety precaution manuals, not even an instructions booklet – just the box and the earphones. Also, I would like to note, the box of the MK301 (or so its product number says) has a striking resemblance to that of the Xiaomi Box – a set top box of sorts which I also have on my desk at the moment. They both have a similar theme, which is a nice touch.
Moving on deeper into the plastic casing, you are greeted with what you could say is a work of art. It looks like a dark version of what might be something you could see in the box of an iPod Shuffle (only larger). Right there up front-and-center is the earphones, which is enclosed in its travel casing. One cool feature is that the casing also comes in other colors (green, blue, and pink), sold separately. Upon taking it out for the first time, you might find the packing method a little daunting, but just check out the box, assuming you didn't already toss it into the trashcan (but why the hell would you want to do that?). Sadly, the enclosures for the earphones themselves can only fit the medium size tips perfectly. All of the other tips do not have a full, flush fit (sadly), but it's not like the tips would get damaged from getting squished only slightly. Speaking of the tips, taking out the earphones' travel casing reveals the extra eartips underneath. There are two extra single-flange tips (large and small), and there's another pair which is actually a double-flange tip. They are packed neatly in their compartment (they're not even close to 'packed') with a pole of sorts where you could slip them through. In between is a square indicating which are for which. The large and small single-flange tips are designed for music, which the double-flanged one is for calls. Why this is and is not so, you'll read later.
However, I do have a slight issue with the accessories. They didn't include a shirt clip in the box, when the earphones looked to be pretty much designed for wearing straight down. Wearing around-the-ear might be a little annoying because of the rather short cable from the remote to the earphones. If they made it longer (total length at around 1.2m), it would've been perfect. Oh well.
Build, Fit, Comfort
Now, taking out the earphones form their travel case, the build feels solid, but rather fragile (or at least, the cable is). The inline remote and mic, as well as the jack and the earphones are made out of aluminum. The cable is covered with Kevlar, but the cable leading from the remote to the earphones are made of silicone (probably for better comfort when wearing around-the-ear). Making it out of Kevlar would've been better in my opinion, because it kinda ruins the continuity of the cable. Nevertheless, build quality is pretty good.
Upon wearing it, it was really comfortable, straight down or around the ear. However, the perfect fit isn't all the way in. Going all the way in breaks the seal and thus reduces the bass, so to bring out its true sound, let it sit snugly on the little flap just outside your ear canal. To make things easier for me to explain, try to get a fit where you get maximum isolation (except with the double-flange tips). If you do, then that should more or less be the right seal for the earphone. Fitting is easy, and the medium tips fit my ears perfectly. They're really soft, as well.
And now that we've got that down, let's get on to the main event!
Right now the MK301s are jabbed into my ears and pumping out music as I type down the words on this review. My first impressions on these outta-the-box are really refined, and an impressive soundstage. But going a little more in-depth, I'll be going through my best albums, each with varied genres. Here is my playlist:
Daft Punk – Random Access Memories (Electronica) [ALAC, 1411 kbps]
Sungha Jung – Paint It Acoustic (Acoustic Guitar) [MP3, 256 kbps]
Ben Prunty – Faster Than Light OST (Chiptune) [MP3, 320 kbps]
Katy Perry – Prism: Deluxe Edition (Pop) [MP3, 320 kbps]
As for the setup, it's either straight from the iPod or through Line-Out on my PC with a Creative Sound Blaster VX5.1 as the soundcard. Other than that, there aren't any extras (but I'm really looking to get an amp for my PC). Getting the fit right takes a short while, and you might want to take it out once before putting it back in your ears to get the seal right. But if you do, then welcome.
Listening to Random Access Memories, my electronica test album, I found myself almost squealing with delight (though it sounds a little nuts). I felt a lot like dancing to the tracks, but I kinda shrugged that off. It's a lot of fun to listen to, and it does really well. Bass is tight and punchy but manages to keep its balance. It is separated well away from the midrange, and digs down deep. The live kit was amazing, the vocals were clear as day, and the bass was crazy awesome. Instruments were well separated, which is another big plus. The Pistons sound really promising so far.
Moving on to Paint It Acoustic, my acoustic instrumental test album, it sounded so beautiful that I felt inspired to learn the guitar (not really, but it sounded great though). 'Fanoe' was probably my favorite track and is probably the most complex as there are two guitars playing in the song. Having watched the video, listening to the song made me almost feel like I was recording the actual video, in front of Böegershausen and Sungha themselves. Soundstage is good so far, with positional accuracy almost perfect, though I felt that Böegershausen's guitar was a little too far to the right. Other than that, the entire album sounded great on the Pistons with its amazing clarity.
The Pistons continue to impress with Ben Prunty's FTL soundtrack coming on in my tests. Prunty did an amazing job getting the soundstage right, and it wounded up as my soundstage test album. And for these Xiaomi Pistons, I give a surefire A+. Soundstage was actually pretty wide, and did its job well. Positional accuracy was solid, and I was as well immersed as I was with my heavily-EQ'd Razer Krakens. For a pair of tiny speakers jabbed into my ears, it did undeniably well in the soundstage test.
And finally, with Katy Perry's latest album "Prism," I started the vocals test. Perry's vocals were sweet and crystal-clear, something I'd never listened to since I demoed the BeoPlay H6 at an audio store about a month ago. Instrument separation was again impressive, as was the soundstage.
Overall, the sound signature of the Pistons would be rated as fun – a lot of fun. With bass that extends deep and pounds them straight into your ears, midrange clarity that is probably clearer than the skies above the roof over my head, and a crisp, airy treble, this earphone never ceases to please.
However, wearing the double-flanged tips changed the sound signature of the earphones almost entirely. Bass felt like it was sucked out and left thin bass. However, the earphones never sounded tinny even without that bass. The midrange and treble kept composed, with the vocals now taking more emphasis, and treble changed little if any, and the overall signature felt a little too sharp. On the other hand, I am a basshead, and what I might find thin to my ears wouldn't be the same for someone else. Our ears are all different, after all.
A little experimentation on my part showed that the reduced bass was caused by the shape of the tips. It wasn't that they were double-flanged; it was because of their widest diameter, which was evidently much smaller than the medium tips. And since the tips were smaller, the earphones fail to create a seal – or rather, purposefully break the seal – in order to reduce the bass and enhance vocal clarity further. I believe I'd already written that the double-flange tips were designed for calls; therefore, enhanced vocal clarity wouldn't be a surprise.
Overall, the sound of the double-flanged tips provide a less fun and more analytical (but still enjoyable) approach to your listening session. Isolation was compromised slightly in favour of a slightly wider soundstage, and bass was flattened out to make the entire presentation much flatter and more audiophile-friendly. I think you guys would like it, so I suggest you give it a try.
Much to my chagrin, I don't have the original Pistons in my possession. I know, it's a bummer, really, but that won't stop me from comparing it with other headphones!
Putting it up head-to-head against my Philips SHE-3590, The Pistons were better in the clarity and soundstage area. The Philips had bigger and more powerful bass, but the Pistons were smoother and felt more controlled. Both weren't muddy at all, and had a V-shaped signature. However, I would like to add that the Pistons have an airier, but slightly less sibilant treble, which is yet another plus.
What might be fairer – or rather, more competitive – competition would be the B&O BeoPlay H6. Though I've listened to it only about twice (I don't own it…yet), its sound left such an impression on me that I still recall the experience I had with them. I know, it may be placed far above and beyond the price range of the Pistons, but somehow, I think both are a good match. Clarity and soundstage are great on both headphones (no contest here), but the differences start in the sound signature. The H6 is said to have great bass, but when played from a mobile device (which non-audiophiles like me only have) the H6 sounds flat and really balanced across the frequencies. They aren't analytical, either. The Pistons, however, take on a different approach with powerful bass which still keeps its balance. If given the money, I would jump at the H6 instantly, without giving a care in the world about trying to squeeze out its supposedly awesome bass. Both sound equally great, and both seem to have a sort of yin-yang relationship with each other – the Pistons with more bass and the H6 with a flatter signature.
The Xiaomi Pistons are a good example of pushing the price boundaries of great headphones beyond that boundary. With their supposedly expensive beryllium drivers, they provide your ears with a sweet and fun sound signature that somehow does great probably every genre in the book.
Their bass is controlled, but pounds into your ears without the slightest hint of bass bleed. Their mids have a clarity beyond anything I've listened to in my many days of listening. The treble is sweet, almost borderline sibilant (whatever that means), and compliments the entire spectrum with a nice touch of airiness. Their soundstage is exceptional, and positional accuracy is spot-on.
And all of this you get in a super-small and super-simple package for only $16. This wonder looks, sounds, and feels so good that it should've been listed at a price at least twice that. It has the capability of looking up to headphones far above its price range, which makes you wonder even more if the retail price that it currently holds will change because of how it's so awesome. Rest assured, however, that it won't change for a long time. This is an earphone worth buying, and it will blow you away.
Bass: 8.5/10 "Powerful, compelling, but controlled."
Mids: 10/10 "Sweet, enjoyable, and clear as day."
Highs: 8.5/10 "Not even close to sibilant, but smooth and airy."
Size: 8/10 "I don't have much to say, but it's great."
Accuracy: 9/10 "Awesome. Just awesome."
Sturdiness and Stuff:
Build: 8/10 "A little iffy in some parts, its predecessor feels sturdier."
Accessories: 8/10 "Just about right. Could use more, though."
Packaging: 9/10 "Clever, smart, and something you would expect Apple to make."
About Me
I'm a just-turned-14 year old sophomore which you might as well pass off as regular. I've loved music for as long as I can remember, and it's become a part of my life. I've been self-teaching piano for about half a year, spanning across three years (I know, I'm lazy). I've also become interested in drums, but I don't have the resources to get a kit (I just put up with the iPad instead). As for guitar…I never really liked it much (my fingers ache like hell), but it might be interesting to try in the future.
I only recently got to delve into the headphone world when my parents bought me a set of Beats only back in April. Only about three weeks later, I entered Head-Fi and started a journey that would probably extend throughout the rest of my life. And on this journey which hasn't even reached a year yet, I've learned a lot about what good sound sounds like. I still have a long way to go, but it's the journey that makes it all worthwhile.

Baking | Tropical Cream Pie … The Boston Cream Pie just got a tropical makeover!
"Your idea of that dish has evolved, and if you're a cook, you can start thinking in different ways about it, maybe even a different way than I think about it."
Thomas Keller
This Tropical Cream Pie is reminiscent of a phase of my life which encouraged me to 'think out of the culinary box. A long long time ago I was a part of a food event run at Project Foodie. The event was called Leftover Tuesdays and it encouraged you to get creative with leftovers in your fridge, pantry, freezer; a chance to create something fun and intriguing with stuff you had but didn't have plans for! I fell off that bandwagon years ago yet the 'creative leftover idea' became a 'part of me'! We had some rather delicious desserts out of the kitchen recently – Filled Pate a Choux Swans and Pineapple Mascarpone Cake. Sadly decadence like this does the disappearing act pretty soon. Luckily enough, there is a rather delicious upside … ingredient leftovers, and this is the part I love most! I had some crème pâtissière from the Pate a Choux Swans and homemade mascarpone from the Pineapple Mascarpone Cake. Both made from scratch and wonderful ingredients to get creative with. You could whisk them together and serve them over cake or fruit {or both}…… OR you can do better than that!! I have always wanted to make a Boston Cream Pie and the knowledge that it used crème pâtissière gave me something new to try! More 'fridge type spring cleaning' later resulted in the pâtissière getting an indulgent uplift thanks to the mascarpone … the filling became smooth & silky!
Boston Cream Pie is a remake of the early American"Pudding-cake pie". Cooks in New England and Pennsylvania Dutch regions were known for their cakes and pies and the dividing line between them was very thin. This cake was probably called a pie because in the mid-nineteenth century, pie tins were more common than cake pans. The first versions might have been baked in pie tins.
Just in case you wonder why my cream pie looks like a cake and not a pie, it is actually a cake but is called a pie.
A Boston cream pie is a round cake that is split and filled with a custard or cream filling and frosted with chocolate. Created by Armenian-French chef M. Sanzian at Boston's Parker House Hotel in 1856, this pudding and cake combination comprises two layers of sponge cake filled with vanilla flavored custard or crème pâtissière. The cake is topped with a chocolate glaze {such as ganache}. In 1996, the Boston Cream Pie beat the Nestle Tollhouse Cookies and Indian Pudding to fight it's way to become the official dessert of Massachusetts.
Del Monte has paired with IndiBlogger for a contest using Del Monte products. Stuff like this inspires me and the dream begins! Give me a palette to play with and my creativity takes wings! This is my variation of a good cake that got a tropical makeover! The result was delicious and it looked good too!I really like the Del Monte Fiesta Fruit Cocktail; great flavours and textures in there. I've used them before in the summer fruit jelly above which we loved – they offer a riot of colours and taste great too. This time I pushed my luck further to use it in a pie filling … and it worked! Beautiful flavours and colours rewarded us when we cut through the cake.The chocolate on top surprisingly tied the cake together, in line with the traditional ganache or glaze that crowns the Boston Cream Pie. The grated chocolate on top, a non Boston Cream Pie feature, was thanks to a leftover portion of milk chocolate to add some texture. It's a good make ahead cake and if you do the filling from scratch like me, it would need a days advance planning to make the macsarpone and crème pâtissière.Its a good idea to let it sit for a couple of hours to allow the flavours to marry and the cake to get moist and delicious. The sponge is a breeze to make {do read the recipe through twice} and don't over bake the cake. As compared to my normal sponges, this one has some added fat in the end, which makes it 'strong enough' to hold a generous layer of filling!
Summary: Dessert is served! A light sponge cake sandwiched with an indulgent silky smooth custard and fruit filling, topped with a rich ganache … and further crowned with grated chocolate. The Boston Cream Pie just got a tropical makeover!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
- Sponge Cake
- 3 eggs {2 separated, 1 whole}
- 110g sugar, divided 20g + 90g
- 65g plain flour
- 1scant tsp baking powder
- pinch salt
- 20g / 1 tbsp milk
- 20g/ 2 tsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 vanilla bean scraped {or 1 tsp pure vanilla extract}
- Crème patisserie {approx 150g} recipe inspired from my friend Pamela @ Cooking Ninja
- 30g raw sugar {or granulated}
- 1/2 vanilla bean, scraped
- 100ml low fat cream
- 150ml 2% milk
- 2 eggs
- 20g cornflour
- Filling
- 100g mascarpone {recipe for mascarpone}
- 150g crème patisserie {recipe follows}
- 1tin Del Monte Fruit Fiesta
- 2tbsp powdered sugar
- Dark Chocolate Ganache
- 100g dark chocolate
- 50g low fat cream
- Milk chocolate for topping if desired
- Sponge cake
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a 7″ round tin with parchment {bottom and sides}
- Melt the butter and milk and leave to cool {I did it for 30seconds in the microwave}
- Sift the flour, baking powder and pinch salt. Reserve.
- In a clean bowl, beat the 2 egg whites with 20gm sugar until stiff peaks form. Reserve.
- Beat 1 whole egg and 2 egg yolks with the remaining 90g sugar until mousse like and doubled in volume {about 5-7 minutes on high}.
- Add the vanilla bean and beat for another minute, then with a spatula gently fold in the flour mix in 3-4 goes.
- Take about 1/4 cup of this and mix through the eaten egg yolks to loosen the whites a bit. Now gently fold the rest of the beaten whites through the batter, taking care not to release the beaten in air.
- Pour the milk/butter mixture into the centre and fold through gently but uniformly.
- Transfer into the prepared tin and bake for 25-30 minutes / until light golden brown and a tester comes out clean.
- Cool in tin for 5 minutes, then gently remove from tin, and cool completely on rack. Cut into 2 layers.
- Crème patisserie {can be made the day before}
- Bring the milk to a simmering boil. Reserve.
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar with a wooden spoon in a big bowl until the mixture becomes pale and light. Stir in the flour slowly until it is thoroughly mixed with the egg mixture.
- Pour the boiling milk into the mixture a little by little while whisking continuously to avoid curdling. Then stir in the cream until the mixture is well combined.
- Transfer the whole mixture into a pot, with the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean, and heat it under low setting. Stir it constantly with the wooden spoon or spatula scraping the sides and bottom until it has thickened.
- Once the custard has thickened, take it off the heat, and strain / pour it into a clean bowl.
- Thermomix Recipe
- Place sugar and vanilla bean in TM bowl, and process for 30seconds on speed 10. Add remaining ingredients, plus vanilla bean shell and cook on 90C/Speed 4 for 7 minutes {until thick}. Strain into a bowl immediately to cool. I chilled it overnight.
- Dark Chocolate Ganache
- Place dark chocolate in a deep bowl.
- Simmer cream over very low heat in a heavy bottom pan and simmer over very low heat until tiny bubbles appear at the edges {don't let boil}. Pour over the dark chocolate and whisk until the chocolate has melted.
- Allow to cool before pouring over cake. It should be thick enough to pour but not too thin to drip off completely.
- Assembling
- Drain the contents of the tin and stand in a sieve to get rid of any liquid. {You can chill it if you like}
- Whisk the crème patisserie, mascapone and sugar together until smooth. It will be very thick.
- Place bottom layer of sponge on serving platter. Place an adjustable dessert ring around it {else use a mousse strip}.
- Top with the filling cream and then sprinkle over with the fruit bits {reserve a few for garnishing if desired}, pressing into place gently. Top with the other half of the cake, press gently and chill covered with cling wrap for 5-6 hours.
- Grate over some milk chocolate {room temperature} if desired. Chill until ready to serve.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, and his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true to the last beat of his heart.
Whoever says you can't buy happiness has obviously never owned a lab
I would recommend Tritronics. While you say basic, I would recommend the Flyway Special. If you are a hunter the collar straps and buckles are hunting colors as opposed to shiney buckles to reflect the sun.

I'll be in the minority once again, but I haven't had any problems with my SD1825 & it has many features. I have a 2 dog and you can set each collar to mild, medium, hard headed, independently of the transmitter. The unit also has paging & vibrate. Mines going on 3 yrs. Heard they have good customer service, but wouldn't know since I haven't had to use it.
HR True Grits Finer Edge
Didn't have much luck with my sport dog. Switched to a dogtra which I like. Never owned a TT but the folks I know who have them like them. Just my two cents.......
I would recommend the the SportDOG SD-1825 or the SD-1225 both offer great features. The 1825 does offer the toggle switch to run 2 dogs very easily. I have used SportDOG for many years, I have worked with SportDOG as well as a field staff and now as a Pro Staff member. Here are the pros and cons.
both unit offer 2 hour charge with 40 to 60 hour of use.
1825 offers 1 mile range / 1225 offers 3/4 mile range
Waterproof collar and remote
Tone and vibrate feature
Contoured collar design
Great costumer service
There are no cons, SportDOG makes a great e-collar that works in every kind of hunting condition.

Wow!!!! I can't believe people are still asking this question...Let me be blunt. All Sport Dog
gear is cheap China made crap. Their game plan seems to be sell this cheap mess at a premium
price and hope you don't use it much and it will make it to the one year warranty. When it FAILS and it will SportDog will charge you a fee to look at it and a fee to fix it...If the unit fails while in warranty they send you a refub with ONLY A 90 DAY WARRANTY!!! It will fail and you will be out $300+ Do yourself a favor and buy TRITRONICS or be Very,Very Sorry you bought Sport Dog Brand...(I went through 6 - 1825 camo systems I lost all my money SportDog has poor customer service to say the LEAST!)
If you can get the SportDog to hold a charge over night you'll be doing something. I can charge my TT and it will hold a charge for weeks and weeks. Charge a SD and it will be dead in days, with no use.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
There are things you just can't fix. Can't fix stupid, can't fix a neutered dog & you can't fix junk!

I have found that there is a lot of dog training gear made in the USA and it is almost universally believed to better than the stuff made in China. I live here and work here and try my hardest to keep others here working too, you should be glad that you have a choice with this. The job you save could be yours some day. Do the right thing by your neighbors and buy American if you have the chance. I got the TT pro 100 and only charge it once a week.
Had sport dog years ago because it was a gift. I got rid of it after less than a year and got a TT g3. That was 2 years ago. Decision is yours, but the I wouldn't have another SD. I would get a TT or dogtra. You will be happy

Before we jump in to today's fabulous real wedding, let me just quickly share with you my current FAVORITE BOUQUET STYLE IN THE WHOLE FREAKING WORLD, shot by none other than Katie Stoops:
* * *
And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming…
I'm telling you, from the sunflower bouquet to the adorable wittle puppy to the pumpkins of various sizes and hues, I have fallen hook, line and sinker for this romantic country wedding. Katie Stoops is one of my favorite wedding photographers, and this wedding is nothing short of laid-back, family-focused perfection in my book! Greta and David are the picture of love; their undeniable connection is almost palpable as you take in photo after photo. I hope you love them and their big day as much as I do!
Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better than what came before
And you'd better run run, run run to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come, come come, come come to me
You'd better run
~ The Velvet Underground (but Katie features the Cat Power cover on her site… and it's amazing.)
Heaven. I consider this wedding a pure, unadulterated form of heaven. Give me a wedding this intimate, this low-key, this loving and simple, and you've given me the world on a plate.

Hostel Ana
Split can be reached by The Adriatic Coastal Road, winding by the sea or by hinterland roads connected to Split. It will take 5 hours to Zagreb and 4 hours to get from Dubrovnik in your car. You can reach Split if you get on a coast ferry liner from Rijeka or Dubrovnik, from all central Dalmatian islands. There are excellent fast and regular ferry lines from Ancona and Pescara, Italy. From the Airport Split flights connect the city with Zagreb several times a day, as well as with European capitals. There are also trains from Split to the north of the country and further on to Europe. You can transport your car by train, as well.
The largest town on the Adriatic coast, Split is situated in the warmest area of the northern Mediterranean coast, not just urban, cultural and traffic center of Dalmatia with road and rail links with a number of Dalmatian places, but is itself often a tourist destination for tourists.
A city with 1700 years old tradition, with a number of archaeological, historical and cultural monuments, including the famous Diocletian's Palace and the Mausoleum, statue of Gregory of Nin, and the cathedral and bell tower of St. Duje, Split justifies its position as the city of UNESCO world cultural heritage.
Its mild climate, with 2700 hours of sunshine per year, makes it an oasis where you can enjoy the sun even in winter. Split has a variety of restaurants offering local specialties. There are many beaches and swimming areas in the city and its surroundings, of which the most Bačvice, a sand beach almost in the center of town. Cultural and entertainment life of Split is extremely rich, especially in summer when the city squares, yards and other areas in a large open-air stage

Take Charge of Your Medical Care by choosing Concierge Medicine Español
- 'Celebration of Life' held (Madison Catholic Herald, May 2014)
- Amid health care reform, free clinics see no end to need (Wisconsin State Journal)
- Scott Grabins, of Epic, joins Our Lady of Hope Clinic's Board of Directors (News Release)
- Annual Report for Benefactors 2013
- Karlen Miracle Baby (News Release)
- St Mary's Hospital partnership (News Release)
- Volunteers Keep Free Clinic Running Smoothly (News Release)
Our Lady of Hope Clinic provides 24/7 DIRECT access to a personal physician, unlimited clinic visits, same-day scheduling, and extended appointment times for an annual or monthly contribution that supports its mission of providing free primary care to uninsured members of the community.
Restoring the Doctor-Patient Relationship Español
Your personal physician will work with you to create a preventative and healthy lifestyle plan that is tailored to your specific needs. You and your doctor are in charge of your health - not your medical insurance provider because Our Lady of Hope Clinic does not accept or bill for medical insurance. This concierge model of care empowers patients - not insurance companies - to take charge of their own care. Busy schedules, high co-pays and costly premiums are no longer obstacles to excellent primary care. And patients never receive a bill or pay a co-pay at Our Lady of Hope Clinic. Benefactors pay only an annual fee, which may be paid in monthly installments.
Compassionate Care for Those in Need Español
Each year, about one in nine Wisconsinites goes without health insurance for all or part of the year. Without access to basic health care, manageable conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol often go untreated until they turn into serious problems that result in preventable emergency room visits or hospitalizations.
The support of our benefactors makes it possible for us to give the majority of our visits away for free to those who lack access to primary care.
Mission Statement Español
Our mission is to serve the community of Madison by establishing a self-sustaining non-profit organization for the delivery of free outpatient healthcare to uninsured persons ineligible for county, state or federal welfare programs, consistent with Catholic health care tradition.
Benefactor Hours
Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday: 9:00 am to 12:00 noon and 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm
We are closed on Wednesdays.
Fridays: 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
If you are uninsured and need to be seen, please click here.

- Description
A shot on an overcast day of Bristol floating harbour, looking down on The SS Great Britain (The first iron hulled, screw propellor driven liner) designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Next to it is the Matthew, a replica of the ship in which John Cabot sailed on his discovery of North America in 1497. The harbour is called the "floating harbour" because the river here is tidal and the water is held in by locks. I forgot to set this to save as a tiff so that I could make adjustments and it took so long to stitch that it will have to wait. This shot is 600 superfine, large JPEGs and took 15 hours to stitch. I seem to be getting better and working at the lowest iso rating with no image stabilisation has greatly improved the definition. A shot twice as wide, taking in much more of the harbour, is in the offing when we get the next sunny day!! Here is the first attempt www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=27418

A classic shot Keith. The geocoding is off though - the system steers like a cow I know, but I think it is worth the effort learning to get the viewing angle correct (yours is about 150º degrees off).
Great pano with many details.
Keith, This is a notable GigaPan with lots to discover and is most rewarding as a historical GigaPan. This may be your best effort so far :)

Joint and cartilage protection
Glucosamine and Chondroitin
UltraJoint is formulated with two core nutrients for joint health: glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate. Research has shown they can help protect cartilage in joints.*
In each serving, you get the exact amount of each ingredient that has been extensively researched. Only the clinically studied sulfate forms are used, not the hydrochloride form that many drugstore brands use.Collagen and connective tissue
Meriva® – Patented Curcumin (Turmeric)
Turmeric contains curcuminoids, which impact a key mediator involved in joint comfort.* Regular turmeric is not well absorbed by the body so we use a special, patented form (Meriva®) that has proven results.
These curcuminoids are bound with a phosphatidyl complex to increase the absorption of curcuminoids by nearly 30 fold. A recent clinical study on Meriva® showed those with joint problems had a 58% change in symptom scores after three months of use.*
Univestin® – Botanical Extracts
We also include a proprietary blend of botanicals (Univestin®) that works on multiple enzymes for rapid and long-lasting joint comfort. It's included for its studied effects on joint mobility and stiffness.*
Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme from pineapple that works through a series of chemical reactions in the body to support additional joint benefits.*
Boswellia serrata gum extract supports addtional joint benefits through its work on leukotrienes.*
Pantothenic Acid
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) supports adrenal function and in turn, the production of adrenal hormones —your body's natural joint comfort soldiers. This vitamin has been shown to support joint health, starting
with just 12.5 mg daily.* UltraJoint contains a full 50 mg.

This formula combines glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM with additional joint supporting ingredients to create the ultimate in effectiveness.
Available in powder or capsule form. The powder version is ideal for those who don't want to swallow pills. It has a natural fruit flavor that blends well into water or juice. It's minimally sweetened with a small amount of organic cane sugar (3g) and stevia. 30 servings.

Step #1: Gather Your Supplies
- wine bottle corks
- craft knife
- pencil
- cutting mat
Step #2: Create Your Design
Decide what designs you would like your cork stamps to have, then draw them on the end of each cork with a pencil.
Step #3: Start Cutting
Using your craft knife, start to cut your design out of the cork, being very careful while cutting – this should be an adults only part of the project.
Step #4: Try Them Out
Once you have finished cutting out the stamp designs, test them out to make sure that they stamp evenly. If they don't, cut them until they sit flush.
Step 5: Wrap Them Up and Give Them Away, Or Save Them For Rainy Day Play!
Use kitchen twine to wrap them up with a new soy ink pad and stack of blank recycled cards to give away as a thoughtful homemade gift… or keep the set for your tots to play with as they wish!

Dinner's in an easy-to-assemble packet! Grill meat, potatoes and carrots for a satisfying meal.
Fresh new potatoes, cut into wedges, can be used instead of the refrigerated potatoes. Because the refrigerated potatoes are partially cooked, microwave the fresh ones for 4 to 6 minutes before adding them to the packets.
Make these packets up to 24 hours in advance. Pop them on the grill when you are ready to eat.
Although these hearty packets can be a complete meal, a crisp mixed-greens salad would be a nice addition.

"Would just like to thank you and the rest of the football aid team for what was a fantastic experience at Molineux last night. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left, my family and I had a truly wonderful evening. And to top it all, getting 6 ex Wolves players to turn up is remarkable. Once again, thank you"

Life has been busy for me, until fairly recently. I don't think I can really say anything more about Eazel than what others have posted: it was great working there with everybody, and I really do hope things turn out for the best for all parties involved.
While looking for work, the three phrases I see most often are "free drinks", "well-funded", and "Microsoft Outlook". I prefer the first two.
Tonight I'll be watching the Iron Chef Battle Ray at home with friends. I think the battles where the theme ingredient is likely to escape from the chef are some of the best ones. I hope no one tries to make manta ray gelato.
If this diary entry were a category on Jeopardy!, I think it would be "Potpourri".
It's spring with a vengeance here.
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Representative from Minnesota confuses Concord, N.H., with Concord, Mass.
NASHUA, N.H. U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota stood before New Hampshire Republicans with a tea bag clutched in her hand Saturday, but her grasp on Revolutionary War geography wasn't quite as tight.
Before headlining a GOP fundraiser, the possible presidential hopeful told a group of students and conservative activists in Manchester, "You're the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord," according to video posted online by WMUR-TV More world news
But those first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired in Massachusetts, not New Hampshire. Though Bachmann probably wasn't the first to confuse Concord, N.H., with Concord, Mass., her mistake was striking given her roots in the Tea Party movement, which takes its name from the dumping of tea into Boston Harbor by angry American colonists in December 1773, 16 months before the Battle of Lexington Green.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA What a dufus.

Businesses shifting from HighmarkFebruary 8, 2014 11:37 PM
Highmark Inc. has spent more than a decade building a dam around the region, keeping other insurers out while amassing a health plan market penetration that was the envy of other regional carriers.
But UPMC says that dam is showing some cracks -- and soon may be ready to burst.
UPMC has made a point of noting each high-profile account that has fully or partially left the Highmark stable over the past year. The list includes Westinghouse, the city of Pittsburgh, PNC, Dick's Sporting Goods, American Eagle Outfitters, BNY Mellon and EDMC, all of which have either selected another carrier to manage their health plans or are offering additional plans alongside Highmark policies.
"There is a fundamental shift [that has] already started," said UPMC spokesman Paul Wood. "Brokers are telling their clients to be prepared."
The reason for that preparation is the concern that Highmark's regional customers might lose access to most of the UPMC hospital network at the end of this year. Highmark says it wants a new contract, but UPMC says it does not because Highmark is now a competitor that runs its own hospital system, the Allegheny Health Network.
Highmark wouldn't comment on specific market trends for this story, saying only that, "Highmark maintains a very strong membership base, with some customers who have signed multiyear agreements." But spokesman Aaron Billger said CEO William Winkenwerder Jr. will address enrollment numbers, retention rate and other figures at a media briefing on Monday.
The "fundamental shift" referenced by Mr. Wood could accelerate in the next few months -- starting now, in fact. That's because any employer that signs up for a yearlong benefits deal starting this month would have a contract that spans beyond the Dec. 31 endpoint of the current pact between Highmark and UPMC.
January and July are by far the two most popular months for renewals and new contracts to take effect, and often, those contracts last for a year, if not for several years. But contracts can, and do, start in any month.
So a company that buys insurance or self-insures through Highmark's network, starting in February and beyond, would do so without any certainty that its employees will have full UPMC access through the duration of the yearlong contract.
"It's still early in the year, but beginning perhaps [this] month, we could see groups concerned about losing UPMC access start to assess their health insurance options," said Walt Cherniak, spokesman for Aetna.
Employers could offer multiple plans, they could bolt to another insurer with full UPMC access (UPMC Health Plan, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna), or they could sign a deal with Highmark with a clause that allows them to reopen the contract next year.
Or they could stick with Highmark, which still dominates the regional market with 1 million or so commercial network customers.
But that dominance is eroding: According to UPMC's estimates, Highmark controls less than half of the commercial accounts in Allegheny County, perhaps as low as 40 percent of the commercial market. Eight years ago, Highmark controlled 60 percent of the commercial (non-Medicare, non-Medicaid) market.
Still, 40 percent is a lot of control, and despite those years of attrition from Highmark, UPMC still gets 20 percent of its gross patient services revenue from Highmark commercial accounts, as of the first six months of the current fiscal year.
UPMC is clearly gambling that even more commercial accounts will defect from Highmark between now and Dec. 31. But that's a $2 billion-a-year gamble. Can UPMC really afford to walk away from a fifth of its business? Or even a sixth, or a seventh, should Highmark's attrition accelerate?
"In a nutshell, we haven't seen a big shift yet," said Jim McTiernan, benefits analyst with Pittsburgh-based Triad USA, a division of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.
"I don't think there's going to be a big shift, because [Highmark's] pricing is going to be aggressive," both in terms of the quotes it provides for smaller businesses and the administrative cost quotes to large, self-insured businesses that pay their own health claims. "For a lot of clients, it's going to be hard to walk away from Highmark."
Mr. McTiernan said that, while he's not privy to what the "necessary movement" figures might be in order for UPMC to part with Highmark without suffering significant financial damage, "I can't see more than 10 or 15 percent of the market moving."
Would that be enough for UPMC to go it alone? If Highmark loses, say, 150,000 of the 1 million commercial members it now has in southwestern Pennsylvania, is that enough for UPMC to carry on unaffected?
"I can't imagine it is," Mr. McTiernan said.
He still believes the two will arrive at an extension, and that UPMC's insistence that it won't sign a contract with Highmark is simple, through-the-media negotiation. "They have to play it as hard as they can" up until the last minute, to get the best possible leverage, he said.
Mr. Wood said UPMC is not the one that's doing the gambling -- it's customers and businesses that don't plan for a separation. There's a reason, he said, that UPMC Health Plan's enrollment has grown to 500,000 commercial subscribers.
"Almost all of that has moved from Highmark," he said.

D'Oh! David Spade Turned Down David Letterman's Late Night Gig
Nov 5, 2015 6:42 PM EST
Everybody has a work-related "D'oh!" story but David Spade's might take the cake: the actor and comic said he turned down a $2 million a year to replace David Letterman more than a decade ago. In a candid interview on FS1's The Herd with Colin Cowhe… Read more


text: My 1 year old lab retrieves bumpers, pigeons, and just about anything with great enthusiasm. I've had her out for her first two pheasant hunts and while she hunts and flushes like dog possessed she seems wary of the size of the pheasant and it take her few minutes to work it into her mouth and bring it. I don't think she likes picking up such a massive mouthful of feathers. Is this a normal part of training? How can I help her get better? Thanks.

Hello all; just wanted to offer up my time if you have any questions about sporting dogs or food, etc. A brief overview of my company: We have been around over 8 years now and our formulas have been derived from working with sled dogs for about 20 years. I have 36 dogs myself and have competed in many races in the States, Alaska(they consider themselves a separate country), Canada and Europe. Our foods were built from first hand experiences of correct feeding programs to maximize the potentials of the dogs through nutrition as what I saw on the market was not working with out all sorts of tweaking. I got very tired of having to tweak the diet to eliminate stress diarrhea, for example.
We looked at what worked best, analyzed it and made it into a kibble. I have worked the Iditarod as a vet numerous times, ran it and have fed tons of feed over the years. Developed first in my garage we then took our formula and it took 6 plants to find the right place to produce the food. That was a huge learning curve, to say the least. We supply many kennels out there, including the kennel that won the Iditarod last year but also many field trial kennels. Proper nutrition based on the metabolic needs of the dog leads to some pretty amazing performances.
As a vet it is very satisfying as I am still a full time practicing small animal doctor in Michigan.
So, please ask away and I will be happy to share knowledge as best I can.

Vicky I am so sorry for your loss. She will always remain at your side.
Vicky I am so sorry for your loss. She will always remain at your side.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I learned about Hemangiosarcoma the same painful way with my last male. I know what you are going through and really do feel your pain.
That loving bond has a painful price but I can tell you that the good memories outlive the pain we feel at the end.
Rest in peace, Grace.
What a. Beauty. I'm so sad for you. Always too soon when they go.

I am so sorry for your loss. More prayers headed your way.
Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
What if all we have today is what we gave thanks for yesterday?
Let the views of others educate and inform you, but let your decisions be a product of your own conclusions. (Jim Rohn)
I am sorry to hear this after reading your post this morning. Prayers were sent this morning and some more right now. Remember all the good times and also remember the type of life that I am sure that you gave her. Take care.
Oh Vicki, I am so so sorry.
Don't bother to just be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.

I am so sorry to hear this. She was a special girl and knew she was loved. She is not sick any more and you will be together again.
