During Scorch's visit to Nautique, he attended a luncheon with President/CEO Bill Yeargin, Team Nautique skier Chris Parrish and Chris's father Mike. Afterward, he met with the Product Development team followed by a factory tour.
"It was an exciting day to have a visit from a Nautique customer like Scorch, who took the time to meet with our product development team, share his life experiences and tour our facility," stated Nautique President/CEO Bill Yeargin. "Scorch was impressed with not only our facility and processes but the incredible camaraderie and forward thinking mindset he observed among our team," Yeargin added.

Compensating for the BBQ
On the other hand, grilled or fried foods make you dumb.
I think the conclusion is obvious: if you are going to have a BBQ, make sure it is followed by an orgy in the hottub.

The AEV DualSport RS truly delivers the best of both worlds! The AEV DualSport RS Suspension System has taken the off-road driving experience to a new level. With the addition of our AEV-tuned Bilstein 5160 Remote Reservoir Shocks and frequency-tuned Coil Springs, the AEV 3.5" / 4.5" DualSport RS Suspension Lift Kit brings OE-level suspension engineering to the aftermarket. Relying on factory engineering methods, we optimized the JK's control arms, track arms and steering. This is what gives AEV's Dualsport Suspensions much of their amazing cornering and braking characteristics. Coil spring tuning helps keep the JK balanced and in contact with the road, even on bumpy surfaces. Shock tuning focuses on damping suspension movement instead of trying to hide unwanted handling problems. The overall effect is that your Wrangler JK, with its newly installed DualSport RS Suspension remains comfortable, balanced and fun to drive.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For 4.5" Lift on 2012+ JK Unlimited
The new 3.6L Pentastar power plant on the 2012-2013 JKs changed the positioning of the stock Y-Pipe. When a lift kit is installed the clearance between the exhaust and the driveshaft is dramatically reduced and the risk of contact damage is greatly increased, especially when traveling in rough off-road terrain.
The aFe Mach Force XP Y-Pipe re-routes the exhaust to provide the necessary clearance to clear the drive shaft. It is recommended for 2012 and newer Jeep Wrangler JKs with 3.5" lift or higher, especially those used in extreme off-road conditions.
It is required for installation of 4" or higher aftermarket lift kits on 2012 and newer Jeep Wrangler JK and JK Unlimiteds. The aFe Y-Pipe maintains the factory "Loop" to keep engine back-pressure equal.

Special to the Daily News
There is a French café, in the manner of one you might find in Provence, just across the bridge from me. It's aptly named La Bonne Bouche. In English, the phrase could be translated as "all good things to eat" — and that includes the freshly made croissants each day.
La Bonne Bouche is my favorite dining spot on Lucerne Street in Lake Worth. I sometimes sit in the restaurant garden, where bougainvillea grows over the arbors above, to enjoy my brioche, if not a croissant. Or I sit at the counter and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Eric Regnier, the co-owner and chef, hails from the South of France, where he and his family specialized in the delightful cuisine found in Nice and the best of the rest of the Riviera. He has brought his culinary magic — and his French hospitality — to the Palm Beaches and operates the bistro with his wife, Sara.
Whether serving luncheon and dinner guests, both know the importance of treating patrons royally. For dinner, I recommend their crispy duck. I can honestly report that I have never enjoyed the dish as much, even in the finest boites of Paris or St. Tropez.
You will feel right at home if you are a Francophile, beginning with the tablecloths, which recall the ones you find in the touristy boutiques of Provence. They are colorful and feature flower designs. The walls are hung with French watercolors of the Riviera's high spots, including the Le Negresco hotel of Nice. Underfoot is a crisp black-and-white-tiled checkerboard floor.
The interiors of establishments in Provence are typically stylish, known for a certain simplicity — chairs and tables of warm wood with gently curved legs, fabrics with toile patterns, some formally pastoral and some more rustic, in the country style. French Provincial toiles in garnet or blue on cream are favorites of mine, as are toiles of gold on cream. If you are a fan of the old French fabric-and-furniture retailer Pierre Deux, you will surely enjoy a visit to La Bonne Bouche.
Here is a sitting-room scheme, inspired by the look of Provence, that you might enjoy, if you are planning a new look for next social season.
For a room with floors of rich terracotta clay, the ceiling might feature wooden beams of pecky cypress, and the color between the beams should be painted chalk white. Color the walls butter yellow.
Around an oval wood table, group chairs with ladder backs and rush seats — the seats might need tie-on pads of a garnet-and-cream toile. The same toile should be used to fashion a ruffled valance above mullion-paned windows. Line the ruffles in French blue, and trim the valance in a handsome butter-gold braid.
Let's hope your sitting room has a fireplace with a wooden French Provencal-style mantelpiece. In front of it, place a loveseat on one side and a pair of comfortable chairs on the other. The chairs should be covered in garnet-and-cream toile and accented with some throw pillows of small Provence designs. Colors in the pillows can be blues, golds, pale greens and even some lavender.
Oh, how I love the scent of lavender. A few lavender reeds from the flower market would be a perfect French accent for your new room.
La Bonne Bouche, 516 Lucerne Ave., is closed right now for summer vacation and a few kitchen renovations. But it is set to reopen Sept. 4 for the new season. When you visit, be sure to meet Eric and Sara.
Palm Beacher Carleton Varney is president of Dorothy Draper & Co., an international design firm with offices in New York, West Palm Beach, London and White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. His latest book is Mr. Color. Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

World and Townby Gish Jen
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From the much-loved author of Whos Irish? and The Love Wife, a world-sized novel set in a small New England town.
Hattie Kong—the spirited offspring of a descendant of Confucius and an American missionary to China—has, in her fiftieth year of living in the United States, lost both her husband and her best friend to cancer. It is an utterly devastating loss, of course, and also heartbreakingly absurd: a little, she thinks, "like having twins. She got to book the same church with the same pianist for both funerals and did think she should have gotten some sort of twofer from the crematorium." But now, two years later, it is time for Hattie to start over. She moves to the town of Riverlake, where she is soon joined by an immigrant Cambodian family on the run from their inner-city troubles, as well as—quite unexpectedly—by a just-retired neuroscientist ex-lover named Carter Hatch. All of them are, like Hattie, looking for a new start in a town that might once have represented the rock-solid base of American life but that is itself challenged, in 2001, by cell-phone towers and chain stores, struggling family farms and fundamentalist Christians. What Hattie makes of this situation is at the center of a novel that asks deep and absorbing questions about religion, home, America, what neighbors are, what love is, and, in the largest sense, what "worlds" we make of the world. Moving, humorous, compassionate, and expansive, World and Town is as rich in character as it is brilliantly evocative of its time and place. This is a truly masterful novel—enthralling, essential, and satisfying. Review:"Jen (The Love Wife) unwinds another expansive story of identity and acceptance, deploying voices that are as haunting and revealing as they are original. Hattie Kong, 68 and full of unresolved longing for her dead husband, her best friend, and an old lover, finds a sort of purpose in the new neighbors, an immigrant Cambodian family. As she nurtures a friendship with the family's teenage daughter, Sophy, Hattie learns the family's secrets. Sophy's father, Chhung, has survived the horrors of Pol Pot, marrying Sophy's mother in a refugee camp and adopting her brother, Sarun. Sarun and Sophy founder in America; Sarun has gang ties, and Sophy becomes involved with manipulative evangelicals. Chhung, isolated and unable to cope with his children, spends his days digging a pit behind their cramped trailer until one day he implodes in an act of horrifying violence. While pondering how to help the family, Hattie discovers much about her own motivations and her place in the world as the daughter of an American missionary and a descendant of Confucius. Jen's prose is unique, dense, and enthralling, and her characters are marvels of authenticity. (Oct.) Da Cunha's War of Canudos gets a commendable new translation by Lowe in a carefully planned and perfectly executed volume. The Brazilian author establishes his knowledge of his country's civil war with an in-depth examination of the geography and climate in the years before and during the infamous bloodshed of the 1890s. He extensively examines the coastal regions, in particular the northeastern state of Bahia where the war took place, and details the history of the Brazilian people, discussing the impact that the varying cultures and racially mixed marriages had on the economy and the settlements occurring then. Most notably, he reflects on the mixing of races between the disappearing natives, the Bantu Negro, and the Portuguese settlers who were prominent at this time. Most chilling is a chronicle of the seemingly insignificant conflict over purchased but undelivered wood that caused a local religious zealot to lash out at the government and start the bloodiest civil war in Brazilian history. Abounding with eloquent passages and vivid images, Da Cunha's considerable work maintains its grim beauty in Lowe's graceful translation. (May)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
Synopsis:Sixty-eight-year-old Hattie Kong, descendant of Confucius, daughter of an American missionary, has lived to see both her husband and her best friend die back-to-back, in a single year: "It was like having twins . . . She got to book the same church with the same pianist for both funerals and did think she should have gotten some sort of twofer from the crematorium."
But two years later, it's time for Hattie to start over. She moves to a small New England town, where she is soon joined by a Cambodian American family and an ex-lover—now a retired neuroscientist—all of them looking for their own new lives. What Hattie makes of this situation and of the changing town of Riverlake—challenged as it is, in 2001, by fundamentalist Christians, struggling family farms, and unexpected immigrants—lies at the center of a novel that asks deep and absorbing questions about religion, home, and what "worlds" we make of the world. Moving, humorous, and broad-ranging, World and Town is rich in character and brilliantly evocative of its time and place. This is a masterful novel from one of our most admired writers. About the AuthorGish Jen is the author of three previous novels and a collection of stories. The recipient of numerous honors, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Radcliffe Institute fellowship, a Lannan Literary Award for Fiction, and a Mildred and Harold Strauss Living from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, she is also a new member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She lives with her family in Massachusetts.

Old Prom Pictures Ball Gowns, French Twists, and a Lot of Corsages — See Our Old Prom Pictures From Yesteryear by Chi Diem Chau 5/16/12 42 Reactions 97 Shares Print 0 86 11 0 0 Prom season is a thing of the past for most of us, but we can't help but to reminisce on the days when all that mattered was a pretty dress and, if you're lucky, a hot date to accompany you to the red-carpet high school event of the year. Of course, we've all evolved since then, but how great would it be to take a trip down memory lane? That said, we rallied up a few of our Sugar cohorts to share their old school prom pictures from yesteryear. Inside, you'll find a lot of ball gowns — remember when Jessica McClintock dresses were all the rage? — throwback updos, corsages, and a lot more to take you way back in time. Start clicking to see it all now! Start What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My senior year, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy got married in that infamous white Narciso Rodriguez dress. I wanted that look, and I cannot remember where I got this white dress but it was definitely not Narciso. I think it was ABS Allen Schwartz. It was actually a pretty subtle choice for a dress for an 18-year-old." — Noria Morales, style director 1 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Periwinkle was in." — Rob Slattery, business development manager Editor's note: Rob is actually getting married to his date (Lauren) next month — aww! 2 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "You can't tell because of the girl in front of me, but my dress is covered in teal sequins [pictured back row, right]. I still own the dress and plan on hanging onto it and wearing it when I turn 40. Assuming I won't be a classy lady who finds this sort of 'irony' stupid by then . . ." — Sabrina Eldredge, senior project manager 3 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I was so in love with the shape of this Jessica McClintock dress. I thought the mermaid silhouette was so glamorous and I loved the bit of tulle on the bottom. It was my first time at prom (going as a sophomore with my boyfriend at the time, who was a senior) and I wanted to totally do it up. I remember stepping out to show off the dress to my date and my parents — it was such a huge moment, the big reveal. I loved it." — Hannah Weil, FabSugar assistant editor 4 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My date and I both wore Doc Martens (hey, it was the '90s!). We didn't get our photo taken at the prom, just beforehand in my friend's backyard. I bought the dress the day before at the mall, and I called my date the day of the prom to ask him out. Luckily, he had a vintage suit to wear; we ended up dating for the rest of high school. My mom fixed my hair, with fresh red flowers in a bun." — Nancy Einhart, executive editor 6 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I wore a [purple] Nicole Miller dress to prom — little did I know that a dozen other girls would show up wearing the same style in different colors! I was horrified at the time." — Anna Roberts, editorial assistant 6 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "All I wanted in life was a coral-pink prom dress and a tiger lily in my hair, so I did everything I could to make that happen. My dress was from Windsor and had (what I thought was) very glamorous beading and a chiffon train. I got my makeup done professionally, but did my hair myself — and although I'm pretty happy with my prom look overall, I can't say the same about my date's." — Brittney Stephens, FabSugar assistant editor 7 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Princess-style dresses with full skirts were big [during that time] and I was totally rebelling against that." — Shannon Vestal, BuzzSugar associate editor 8 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Only when you're 17 years old can you pull off this kind of hot pink strapless body-con minidress with silver metallic sandals . . . but I loved every moment of it.

The shoes (I wish I still had them) were ordered rush delivery from Victoria's Secret's catalog. Sadly, I still cringe when I look at my hair and overfilled eyebrows, but you live and learn. I went with my good friend, who also happened to be prom king." — Chi Diem Chau, FabSugar associate editor 11 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sugar's audience development associate, Stacy Faber, in a blue backless dress and fancy updo at her 2001 junior prom. 12 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Blue halter gowns with sparkles (and matching shoes) were all the rage.

Abstract | High frequency (HF) magnetic devices are often used in many sorts of devices due to their lower construction dimension and high power handling. This paper introduces a new type of HF and high power density planar Integrated magnetic circuit (IMC) developed for a wide range of applications such as power supplies and DC/DC converters. The paper investigates the differences of a planar and a 'Top-Up' IMC version via FEM, introduces the concept of this special combination of inductor, capacitor and HF transformer, and visualized future investigations in the field of these HF high power density magnetic devices. |

How much better does not being afraid make you? I want some opinions, I've only been surfing for like 4 months and I still get afraid when the waves are steep. I feel like once i stop being afraid it will make me much better.
How much better does not being afraid make you? I want some opinions, I've only been surfing for like 4 months and I still get afraid when the waves are steep. I feel like once i stop being afraid it will make me much better.
whats to be afraid of? It's just water. Don't think fear makes you better or worse, just makes it harder to learn.
fear makes it fun. if you didnt love fear you would be on the golf forum
Usually, your fears are warranted. Only with lots of time in the water and practice will you feel more comfortable. Cause remember, when its big out, with huge sweeping currents and you are a novice, you should be afraid. There are many factors in the ocean that have killed even the most skilled life long waterman.... So while fear produces many positive things, it is also a natural emotion that is usually warranted. The ocean is a lethal force. Remember that. Ive broken boards on a 2 foot day. The human body can be harmed in even the most playful conditions.... Not trying to be a fear monger, but your body will let you know when enough is enough and you are "in over your head"... Face your fears, but be realistic about them.... Get in the water... A lot.... surf with friends and crowds until you have more confidence.... And if its DOH on a hurricane swell and bombs are detonating on shore, you may just want to take notes from the beach.... Good surfers make it look a lot easier than it really is.... good luck.
You'll eventually get your surfing to a level when everything is fun, usually that's what overcomes the fear
head high gets my heart pounding in my throat. i get that its just water, but sometimes i do get freaked out by some of the bigger sets, like 6 ft+. but those days are the most fun and most memorable. wouldnt trade that feeling of flying down the line on a heavy set after beating back fear as you paddled into it for anything in the world...
Fear is your brain telling you that you may not be prepared to cope with what's about to happen. That being said, spend as much time in the water as possible. Take small steps getting familiar with bigger conditions. After a while head high will start to be more fun than fearful. Never surf way beyond you capabilities - you could hurt yourself or others. There are different levels for everyone - your head and body will let you know when your at your limit.
The right mentality before you enter the water should be a little nervous, but also excited to get out there. Its a nervous excitement where the excitement is just a little bigger than the nerves. If you get out of your car and the conditions inspire flat out fear and a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, you probably shouldnt paddle out. You wont make the right decisions in the water and youll put yourself and others in danger.

User Review: MSR WindPro II
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $99
This is a solidly built stove, easy to use, and I would recommend it to anyone.
- durable
- compact
- lightweight
- easy to use/setup
- flame adjustment delay
When I finally had to buy a new stove, I knew what I wanted. Light, durable, easy to use, handles big pots. I got that in the WindPro 2.
When I first lit it, I was impressed with the burner. it puts out a lot of heat, something you need with bigger pots. it boils a quart in about three minutes, which is good enough for me. I could never understand the point of how fast your water boils — are you in a hurry? I'm not - I look for fuel efficiency over boil time but I can see the connection - the longer the boil time the more fuel used, but trust me this stove boils plenty fast.
It's also easy to set up, the legs snap on to the valve for easy inverting — and when you do get ready for a volcano, as I found out. I was cooking ravioli and I decided to invert the canister without adjusting the flame down and my ravioli boiled over...it was more difficult to get an adjustment with the canister inverted, but for boiling water in colder temps/low fuel situations it is more than adequate performance.
I also like the windscreen that comes with it — easy to use as well and increases the fuel eficiency. I didn't have it out in very windy conditions but I did notice an improvement in boil time with the windscreen. The delay in adjustment is the only drawback, and is not much of one. Once you get used to it it's easy to deal with. It delays because of the long fuel line, which is understandable.
This stove also handles large pots well. the legs are sturdy and well made. I didn't once feel that it was unsafe with a big pot. Just be sure you let it warm up thoroughly before inverting - I didn't the first time and it flared on me - the only time it did.
All in all this is a solid, easy to use stove, I would recommend it to anyone.

Summer Palace Travel Guide
The Summer Palace or Yihe Yuan (simplified Chinese: 颐和园; traditional Chinese: 頤和園; pinyin: Yíhé Yuán; literally "Gardens of Nurtured Harmony") is a palace in Beijing, China. The Summer Palace is mainly dominated by Longevity Hill (60 meters high) and the Kunming Lake. It covers an expanse of 2.9 square kilometers, three quarters of which is water. The central Kunming Lake covering 2.2 square kilometers was entirely man made and the excavated soil was used to build Longevity Hill. In the Summer Palace, one finds a variety of palaces, gardens, and other classical-style architectural structures. The Summer Palace started out life as the Garden of Clear Ripples (simplified Chinese: 清漪园; traditional Chinese: 清漪園; pinyin: Qīngyī Yuán) in 1750 (Reign Year 15 of Emperor Qianlong). Artisans reproduced the garden architecture styles of various palaces in China. Kunming Lake was created by extending an existing body of water to imitate the West Lake in Hangzhou. The palace complex suffered two major attacks—during the Anglo-French allied invasion of 1860 (with the Old Summer Palace also ransacked at the same time), and during the Boxer Rebellion, in an attack by the eight allied powers in 1900. The garden survived and was rebuilt in 1886 and 1902. In 1888, it was given the current name, Yihe Yuan. It served as a summer resort for Empress Dowager Cixi, who diverted 30 million taels of silver, said to be originally designated for the Chinese navy (Beiyang Fleet), into the reconstruction and enlargement of the Summer Palace. In December 1998, UNESCO included the Summer Palace on its World Heritage List. It declared the Summer Palace "a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design. The natural landscape of hills and open water is combined with artificial features such as pavilions, halls, palaces, temples and bridges to form a harmonious ensemble of outstanding aesthetic value." It is a popular tourist destination but also serves as a recreational park.

I generally don't post a new thread, but with all the realignment threads I felt this idea that had been hinted at by DeLoss Dodds a month ago needs reviewed in light of the recent changes.
For the first time, I see ND sending out a media "floater" that it may have to give up its independent status and is basically telling the B1G it doesn't want to share equally. We all know Texas doesn't want to share equally and BYU wants to keep its own network. FSU did put together a realignment committee and the reality of ACC expansion is that the schools they are adding contribute very little to FB other than Pitt if the rumors of UConn and Rutgers come to fruition. In other words, the ACC places basketball first - FSU does not. If I were Texas and Notre Dame, the time is now to put together the conference they want so that it maximizes revenue, keeps AQ status so they can't get forced into an equal revenue sharing conference, and use the times to pick a conference and maintain a brand such as the Big XII that has guaranteed contracts. Right now, they don't have much bargaining power against conferences that want to equally split the pie that Texas and Notre Dame can enjoy all by themselves right now.
I think the schools could also include Arkansas as if the Mizzou rumor to SEC becomes true, Arkansas is really getting squeezed out of any prior recruiting advantage it held in the St. Louis and Texas markets in the SEC. Getting back to the Arkansas/Texas rivalry may also be appealing to Texas if OU leaves.
Starting with those 5 schools (Texas, Notre Dame, BYU, FSU, Arkansas), the conference then can add ISU, KU, KSU, TTU and Baylor from the Big XII to be able to keep the conference and then add Louisville and USF from the Big East (if Arkansas leaves the SEC could then add W.Virginia). This conference would allow for a better recruiting foothold for ND in Florida and Texas and could be set up as follows:
North Division: Notre Dame, BYU, Florida State, ISU, KSU, KU
South Division: Texas, Arkansas, Louisville, Texas Tech, Baylor and USF.
(Switching Florida State and Louisville also makes sense, but I figure ND will like the prospect of having FSU on its schedule each year as it guarantees a big made for TV game that brings back the memories of beating FSU with National Championship possibilities on the line)
For scheduling, each team gets 1 rival game from the opposite side that they will always play. A good scenario would have the rivals as Tex/BYU; ND/Ark; FSU/USF; ISU/Baylor (the litigation threat bowl); KU/Louisville; KSU/TTU.
This would also allow ND to maintain a non-conference schedule that includes Michigan and USC and Navy whereby even if they lost 2 games, they could still qualify for a BCS bowl by winning the Big XII championship.
As with the Pac 12 idea, I would also suggest that the championship game be played at the home stadium of the team that wins the regular season. Again, additional possible revenue stream for enticing ND, Tex, Ark, FSU, and BYU to this idea.
Finally, Tier I and II money (with the exception of Notre Dame's NBC contract) get split evenly and each gets to keep their Tier III money as was agreed upon last year. To entice Texas and BYU even more, agree that their games against one another will be allowed to be aired on LHN or BYU's network every year depending on who the home team is. Since Notre Dame's NBC contract and the Big XII ESPN contract both expire after the 2015 FB season, the renewal package can be negotiated to allow for additional conference dollars to be split equally regarding Notre Dame's visitor's share for home conference games for Tier I (Right now, the money for their home games gets split between ND and whoever they are playing -if it is a conference game, you merely take the visitor's share and put that into the overall conference pool and split it exclusive of ND since they are keeping the home team revenue). Based on where the market is going, I would estimate Tier I deal with this conference would approach $150-200mil (or more) to go along with the current $90mil for Tier II which should have a step-up clause for expansion.
In the end, we end up in much better financial shape than any other alternative currently suggested and we continue to have great teams coming to play ISU in all sports. Also, I think all teams in the conference benefit financially. It goes without saying the Big XII and Big East teams would. The current ACC tv deal is for $155 million/year for all sports and all tiers so FSU is currently locked into a deal for approximately $13mil - that deal still has 11 years left after this year. Arkansas would be the only question mark but I believe we could add the incentive to match what the SEC pays out if the new tv deals don't make that happen already.
Time for Dodds to make the call(s) and make the ultimate powerplay.

I think this is the right section to post this. This is a good read, i found while ago, but i thought i'd post it too.
What is Prolactin or Progesterone Gyno?
Most bodybuilders are aware that estrogen can cause gyno. Most steroid users are also fully aware that Trenbolone can cause gyno when taken by itself, even though it doesnt convert to estrogen at all. How is this possible?
Two major theories of how Trenbolone could cause gyno symptoms have been theorized over the years. They believe that Tren causes the gyno, by directly stimulating either prolactin or progesterone receptors. Anabolic steroids Trenbolone and Deca are both progestins. Deca also converts to estrogen, but Tren does not. They are not to be confused with progesterone, but instead progestins, a type of progestogen, that can stimulate the progesterone receptor. Tren even converts to a metabolite in the body, that binds stronger to progesterone receptors than progesterone itself!
Directly increasing progesterone or prolactin doesnt necessarily mean you will develop gyno according to research. The study (J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1988 Jan;66(1):230-2) shows that progesterone works synergistically with estrogen, to stimulate breast production. According to (Clin Biochem 2001 Nov;38(Pt 6):596-607), prolactin only has a stimulatory effect on gynecomastia in the prescence of high circulating estrogen levels. Testosterone which aromotizes to estrogen caused a cause of increased prolactin according to (Acta Endocrinol (Copenh) 1984 Feb;105(2):167-72). In the same study, Clomid (clomiphene) and Nolva (tamoxifen) showed a reduction in the mans high levels of prolactin. There is no research evidence that I have found, that points to true breast development developing with just prolactin or progesterone alone or caused by non-aromotizing steroids, without any high circulating estrogen levels. Estrogen must be at high enough levels to work synergistically with high levels of prolactin or progesterone, to cause breast development and lactation.
Whether Tren stimulates prolactin or progesterone, without at least moderate levels of circulating estrogen at the same time in the body, Tren cant cause full development of gyno. The real solution to curing gyno caused during a tren cycle therefore, is to take anti-estrogens, to lower circulating estrogen levels. Even if you are taking Tren by itself, you still will have a lot of estrogen circulating in your blood for a few weeks, until your natural testosterone levels shut down. Sensitive people to gyno might have to use a anti-estrogen, even when taking tren without other estrogen converting steroids, to lower natural estrogen levels in the body.
Many bodybuilders recommend using anti-prolactin drugs Bromocriptine or Cabaser / Dostinex (both Cabaser and Dostinex contain active ingredient Cabergoline), or even RU-486 The abortion pill, which is a progesterone blocker. These drugs have side effects are expensive and not commonly carried by many sources. I have heard reports from bodybuilders that bromocriptine didnt help them, but strong anti-aromatase inhibitors like letrozole did. Therefore, it is better to use an anti-estrogen to combat tren based gyno. The only anti-estrogen I wouldnt recommend for combatting this gyno is Nolva (tamoxifen) because in (J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 2003 Sep;86(3-5):461-7) they found progesterone receptor expression increased, while it decreased with other anti-aromatase inhibitors.

Escaped Farmed Salmon Found in Large Numbers in New Brunswick Rivers
Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) biologists are concerned that the large number of farmed salmon showing up on the Magaguadavic River is indicative of a large escape from sea cages in the Bay of Fundy that has gone unreported by the aquaculture industry.
Source: Atlantic Salmon Federation
"This is a serious issue," said Jonathan Carr, ASF's Director of Research and Environment, "as it is mandatory in New Brunswick for industry to report escapes of 100 salmon or more." He has counted a total of 71 farmed salmon in the Magaguadavic fish trap this season, with a jump in numbers just lately. This is the largest number of escapes encountered at the Magaguadavic since 2001.
"The number is expected to rise, as additional fish have been observed at the fish ladder below the trap, added Jonathan Carr.
While people do pay greater attention to larger escapes, chronic low level escapes, year after year, can be just as threatening - and the Magaguadavic indicates that other regional rivers suffer this fate as well. Mr. Carr also notes that, without ASF's monitoring program on the Magaguadavic River, these fish would have gone undetected.
"How many other escaped farmed fish are entering other rivers?" he asked. "We have no idea because there is no comprehensive monitoring program in N.B., despite salmon being farmed in the Bay of Fundy at some of the highest densities in the world."
In other nearby Bay of Fundy rivers, there is no trap to prevent escapees from entering these rivers. Some of the escapes are sexually mature and the timing of this incident coincides with the wild salmon spawning season, which increases the likelihood and severity of negative interactions between wild and farmed fish. When farmed and wild salmon interbreed, the progeny are less fit to survive and are less likely to produce healthy offspring themselves.
This most recent unreported escape highlights the need for better containment of farmed salmon, as well as increased enforcement of existing provincial and federal regulations. ASF has long called for more transparency and accountability within the aquaculture industry, which will depend on stricter regulations by provincial and federal governments. Last week it was reported that between 20,000 and 50,000 mature farmed salmon escaped from a cage site on the South coast of Newfoundland, raising similar concerns in that province. The event was reported to DFO, which prompted officials to implement a fish recapture plan.
"The problem", continued Mr. Carr, "is that reporting escape events is self-regulated by the industry. If they don't report it, then we don't know about it unless there is a monitoring station in place such as on the Magaguadavic". In Maine, escaped farmed salmon can be traced back to the sea cage operator responsible using dna technology. "This helps to keep the industry honest", said Mr. Carr.
"Our monitoring program on the Magaguadavic provides an early warning system for the salmon rivers in the region," concluded Mr. Carr. "For instance, when escapes have been reported to Maine officials, they have set fences or traps in specific rivers to try to stop the infiltration of the escapes into those systems. These methods should also be adopted in Canada. Keeping these escaped salmon from interacting with endangered wild salmon in the Gulf of Maine and Bay of Fundy is fundamental to the recovery of Atlantic salmon populations."

In Their Own WordsReflections on BBB Accreditation from Accredited Businesses
It's one thing for us to tell you how important BBB Accreditation is to your business. Let's hear what one of your fellow BBB members has to say about the value of BBB Accreditation. Pierre Landaiche is the General Manager of the Cook Convention Center. He's been a BBB member since 1998 and is currently the Chairman of the Board of Directors. "Being a member of the Better Business Bureau means my customers can trust me to do the right thing. They know that I've met the BBB's high standards for good and basic business practices: honesty, transparency, responsiveness and professionalism. I definitely think that gives me a competitive advantage."
Landaiche also believes the BBB has a positive impact on community. "Every community needs a BBB because they provide real people to help a consumer attempt to resolve a problem with a business without having to go to court. That's in addition to many other services like scam alerts, consumer tips, information on charitable organizations and most importantly, Reliability Reports on most businesses." Thanks, Pierre, for supporting the BBB of the Mid-South and allowing us to support you. BBB Accreditation is good for you, good for your business and good for our community.Want to see your comments featured in a future edition of the Purveyor of Trust?

The adoption of innovative cropping systems under price and production risks: a dynamic model of crop rotation choice
In the paper we investigate the role played by both production and market risks on farmer's decision to adopt long rotations (over 2 years), considered as innovative cropping systems. We build a multiperiod dynamic farm model (run under GAMS) that arbitrates each year between traditional and innovative rotations. With discrete stochastic programming, the production risk is accounted as an intra-year risk; yearly farming operations are declined according to a decision tree where probabilities are assigned. Subjective yield and cost distributions linked to this decision tree are elicited among a sample of 13 farmers that are experiencing this innovation in South-western France. The price risk is randomly distributed with a given market trend. The crop acreage can be revised according to the market situation. The simulations show that substantive sunk costs are incentive to remain in the long rotation when the farmer is already engaged and when he is supported for this engagement. They also show that both a high risk aversion and a highly positive market trend tend to slow down the conversion towards innovative systems.Download Info
