My irons are sw at e6 and i tell you what, once you get that weight moving, you cannot stop it. Im shorter 5)at 5'8″ and play +1 1/4 " over standard clubs. I can deadlift 600 lbs and bench 225 25× . Im not flexible by anymeans (not even as a child) but with my handsy swing, i find the heavier, the better. More consistant and straighter than ever . And good distance too! Now if only i could putt on muni greens that stimp out at about -13 haha

Why You Should Be Playing Heavier Equipment
While I've been playing golf for the last 35 years, I only started tinkering with equipment for the last 17 years. I started with regripping and then graduated to full blueprints and rebuilds for myself and close friends and family. This came in handy when I had delusions of trying to compete with the guys in the Long Drivers of America (LDA). While my swingspeed is fast enough to necessitate the replacement of caved heads and broken shafts from time to time, I was humbled back into the amateur ranks very quickly. But the LDA guys were one of the early groups that made me realize that lighter shafts aren't necessarily better for distance.
When golfers think of a great classic driver, the seasoned ones would talk about persimmon and steel while most WRXers will speak with reverence to the TaylorMade R510TP. This first re-launch of the Tour Preferred series was notorious for the high price tag as well as what justified the cost: the legendary Fujikura Speeder 757 shaft. At one point, you were not considered a player if you didn't have a Speeder 757 in your driver. At 78 or 79 grams (based on flex), it was much lighter than steel. But its tight profile and low torque made for a very accurate shaft that produced a lower spin rate and allowed for good distance when you wanted to take a healthy swing at the ball.
Today, the manufacturers continue to promise distance gains with a marketer's perfect formula: lighter total weight and longer shafts. Many WRXers have poo-pooed this concept of longer shafts over the years, professing their love for 44.5 inch drivers. You can go back to the inception of this board to read the questions of how to get a D2 or D3 swingweight on a club that has had the stock length cut down. Today, with some drivers measuring as long as 47 inches, you may have to add 15-20 grams of mass to the head to get the balance back to the club. Some of my early recollections of reshafting include removing the lightweight and big butt shafts from Callaway Great Big Berthas and Goldwin AVDP drivers to install 86 gram EI-70 shafts. My drives were much more accurate with the heavier driver shaft.
Until recently, this trend was applied only to woods and hybrids. But the next phase in the lighter/longer march by the OEMs has been irons. Lofts and lengths have literally made each iron one club longer than a similar numbered iron 25 years ago. And your 120-gram KBS or 130-gram True Temper Dynamic Gold shaft are now being substituted for 85-gram steel or 65-gram graphite. This was the norm for senior and ladies clubs for years. But these lighter weight clubs are now appearing in the men's market as well.
Thankfully, most of the player or "pro" models still come with heavier shafts. But even there, you still have driver shafts in the 50-gram range, and they seem to be getting lighter each year. This follows the old club thought:
But control always seems to take a back seat to potential distance. I'm sure I could pick up 10-peak yards on a perfectly struck shot with a lighter driver shaft. However, the rest of my imperfect shots would suffer accuracy issues, whereas my heavier shaft would allow me a more consistent face contact and greater AVERAGE distance. My thought when I have built clubs for friends and family was to "swing the heaviest club that did not noticeably cost you distance." My vindication for this is that your scoring clubs — wedges and putters — are trending heavier or maintaining their shaft weights. Read the GolfWRX thread about increasing accuracy and distance by going back to steel shafted drivers here: http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/705558-now-this-is-how-a-cleveland-classic-should-look
I believe the quickest way to get someone to get excited about the game is to have them strike that one pure shot. Tin Cup described it as a "tuning fork going off in your loins" to Rene Russo, and he was right. Hit that one shot and you will be back for more. My experience has shown that more golfers would have more accurate shots with greater average distance with shaft weights in the following ranges:
Driver: 65-75 grams, 300 gram or more total weight
Fairway Woods: 80-130 grams
Hybrids: 90-130 grams
Irons and wedges: 110-140 grams
Compared to lighter equipment, most of your average male golfers will find the center of the face more often and realize more purely struck shots. This will increase your average distance and minimize the difference between your great shots and your misses.
The one argument that I cannot deny is the lighter weight in your bag if you are a walker. But consider that a golf ball weighs around 45 grams. The difference between heavy and light equipment for someone with three wedges is the equivalent of roughly three sleeves of balls in your bag. If that's enough to break your back, then you should consider weight/endurance training or move to a push/pull cart. Fatigue at the end of the round from heavier gear is quickly fixed by strength training and sessions at the practice range.
Next time you visit your local clubfitter, pick their brain about being fitted into a slightly heavier shaft in your fairway, hybrid or driver by stressing that you want a more consistent and accurate swing instead of distance. You may find a new favorite club in your bag.

Excellent article. Through experiments I have found that my swing speed has increased by around 3% with a heavier shaft. Also note that swing speed isn't everything you have to make a quality contact. I have been down the light shaft / totalweight route and am now making a U turn with great results. My latest driver shaft Fujikura Speeder 757 is superb with longer more consistent results Callaway RAZR Tour head with D4 swingweight at 44.75in
It all depends on the type of swing that you have but too many times We get conned with a short term increase in distance but lose control, consistency and accuracy over time.
Agreed, last year my most consistant club in the bag was my Titleist Hybrid which has a Heavier shaft installed.
Excellent article. Thanks. And I totally agree.
I lost confidence with my rbz 3wood this summer, cut it down a half inch and added some snakeoil to the head. Changed the swing weight from D3 to D6 and it's now the most consistent long club in my bag, by far. Lost maybe 5 yards of distance on average but added automatic fairways; seems worth it.
Great article…..have added weight to my wedges, Putter, gone to heavier shafts on fairways and added tip weights, now have x flex Oxik Altus 86gr in 22 hybrid, very smooth, and 910D3 with Kai'li at 72 grams, regular shaft and 9gr head weight. Lots of Feel,Accuracy!
How about light,stiff,with low torque? Love my steel fiber 95 gram iron shafts. Straight and long!!!
I totally agree with the heavier weight. When I was a young man and playing competitively my Driver was steel and wood with a 135 gr. shaft, XX flex, and 43.5 in. and the irons the same.
Today, much older and with several physical problems I use a 45 gr. shaft at 46 and all over the place. Recently I picked up a 60 gr. Stiff Driver with a Ahina shaft and hitting the heck out of it. I know being a club maker for years that the theory of that is wrong, but I love it. I also play a forged Iron with KBS Tour steel and put away the 65 gr. Graphite Irons I was playing.
At 73 this should not work, but it does.
I agree. My girlfriend hits better with mens flex shafts even with a very low swing speed. She likes to be able to feel the weight, as it helps her make better ball contact.
I'm finding a lot of success with average male and female golfers and seniors with 45g wood shafts with lighter driver and fw heads and even new 50g iron shafts.
Excellent article. Many thanks

K'Naan Has Poor Grasp on Meaning of the Word 'Integrity'
K'Naan, on changing the lyrics to his song "Waving Flag" — which originally referred to his native Somalia as a "violent prone, poor people zone" and now mostly just talks about how fun soccer is — so that Coca-Cola could use it in their World Cup ad campaign: "This was a really great opportunity for them to use my song, without compromising my integrity as a musician." What?! Look, we have no problem with the move — as K'Naan rightly explains, "I saw it as an opportunity to reach more people ... I don't work for Coke or anything" — but changing the lyrics to your song so that it can be in a soda commercial is pretty much the definition of "compromising [your] integrity as a musician."

We met up last week .. my sis was also due to have her baby so I was constantly checking my phone during our date to see if she went into labor. I texted him when she was born and no reply... that just got me a little upset that he didnt' even say "Congrats." Yes I know he was working but I texted him on his lunch break and he has texted me before on his lunch break. Then I emailed him and asked if he got my text and he said yes, he was busy working and then it hit me all at once. I realized he feels work is important because he loses $$ if he doesn't work - I'm not a gold digger but I also don't want to be the sole supporter of my husband.. ugh..... i also didn't trust that he is still friends with his ex and oh yeah the green card thing... so it's over now....

Very glad to hear this.
I don't have many deal breakers myself but violence, criminal record and illegal status where he lives definitely ARE major ones. For the future..... please don't waste your time on men like this. The point of a r-ship is to make your life better, lighter, brighter, happier and easier - an illegal violent criminal won't be able to do that.
Best of luck...

quit the timeshare speech!from A TripAdvisor Member
Love the place, problems with timesharefrom Christy72
However, we made the mistake of buying a timeshare. The salespeople flat out lied about alot of things. The only good thing about it is that we have not had any trouble getting to go when we want. I have heard people with timeshares complain that they cannot use it the week they want. So far this has not been the case. We are going back in April.
Good and Badfrom A TripAdvisor Member
I thought the Island Seas was everything I expected. The on-site staff was excellent, but upon leaving the gates, I found the locals unfriendly, rude, and disrespectful, a complete antithesis of the ads for the Bahamas. The on site beach was beautiful, but again off site there was litter and trash strewn everywhere. I can't understand how such a beautiful place is so poorly maintained, (not the resort, but offsite).
The natural resources were beautiful, and I spent the week snorkeling and thouroughly enjoyed the stay with the exception of the locals and the litter.
Other reviewers complained of the lack of transportation, but I found that not to be the case. The busses ran every few minutes, and I think the others failed to realize that this is an island, and not midtown Manhatten.
I'm definitely going back soon.
Island Sea Resort was averagefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Getting around is a bit of a problem because you will need to take a taxi to go places since there are no shops or restaurants near the resort. You can sometimes work a deal with a taxi driver to take you places throughout your stay and they might be willing to do it for a fixed rate per head, per trip. Just call the driver ahead of time when you want to go somewhere. Also, the resort has a shuttle that runs at pre-determined times and will take you to one of the shopping markets. From the shopping market, you can take public transportation to other places if you don't mind a little inconvenience.
The beach at the resort would have been fine if the staff had kept it clean and free of litter. Perhaps they should consider grooming the beach in the morning. The beach staff that provided towels and lounge chairs were pleasant and accomodating.
Our room was nice and spacious with a balcony that faced the pool and a view of the beach. It seemed to be well maintained and nicely furnished. We found it was necessary to use the air conditioner at night to drown out the noise from the cleaning staff that would get an early start in the morning.
The resort staff will try to sell you a timeshare which is their business. Politely decline if you are not interested. We didn't find them to be too pushy.
I would say our experience was good and we would return, however they will need to improve prices and customer service to compete with other resorts such as one we like to go to in Cancun, Mexico.

Top Local Tips for Freeport
British Rules Apply! There are Dune Buggy, Moped and Car rental agencies on the island, but renting is at your own risk! The laws and roadways are arranged for British style driving... (ON THE LEFT) Gas Prices are extremely high there as well!
Get to the grocery store and stock up on things Go to the local grocery and stock up on some things - they have full kitchen facilities available. I've read they have a shuttle to take you there - we rented a little car to get around. The fish fry on Wednesday and Friday is cool, but that's a ways away and you need a car. The bonfire trip is not worth the money, that was a bummer. Dinning out is expensive, my economic stimulus check went to the bahamans!
Bikini Bottom This is a great resturant with lots of selections and good seafood.

"It is a sprawling annual plant in very dry, disturbed soils in New Mexico and Arizona"
At Home Outdoors
Karen Denison is owner of Outspire Hiking and Snowshoeing guide service, a former biologist, and a shameless admirer of the outdoors.
Look out for the pod people! Actually, this scary-looking pod (approximately three inches long) belongs to a native plant Proboscidea parviflora, also called Unicorn Plant or Devil's Claw. You may click on the photo for a closer look.
It is a sprawling annual plant in very dry, disturbed soils in New Mexico and Arizona. When the seed pod is green, it is a single, curling "horn" (as in unicorn) which may be picked and used like okra. It is somewhat gummy or sticky like okra, but can be fried or pickled. As the pod dries, the single horn splits into two "claws" which can grab passers-by and hitch a ride to the next possible growing site.
A black-podded subspecies in Arizona with especially long pods has been used by the Hohokam people for generations for the black fibers in their beautiful basketry. Not so scary now!

Naugatuck to look at standardizing benefits
NAUGATUCK — The Board of Mayor and Burgesses will hold a hearing Tuesday on a new ordinance creating benefit standards for full-time elected officials, and revisions to an ordinance that outlines a pension plan for some non-union employees.
The changes are being proposed by a subcommittee of burgesses that Mayor Robert A. Mezzo created two years ago, after then-Town Clerk Sophie Morton retired with a $26,000 payout for unused sick and vacation time.

Noah Bennet: Calm down, Gabriel.This person does not like his birth name; if you call him by it, he will either correct you or ignore you. This could be for a number of reasons. He might feel that you are assuming too much familiarity with him. He might find his real name embarrassing (though his alias is not always much better). He could want to reinvent himself. Or it might be that no one calls him by that name besides his parents. Unfortunately for him, it does not always stick; someone will always call him by his old name, much to his chagrin. This person is not only known by his nickname, despite his best efforts. The person who calls him by his real name might be trying to mock him or threaten him, or perhaps is unaware that he feels this way. The name comes from the fact that the professional wrestlers Triple H (Paul Levesque) and The Big Show (Paul Wight) both have told fans who refer to them by their birth names that since all their friends and even their wives refer to them by their ring names, as far as they are concerned, those are their real names. This trope is hardly limited to people named Paul, however. Raven (Scott Levy) is well known for his insistence on being called Raven by everyone. As noted in one of his many shoot interviews, the only people who can call him Scotty are those who first knew him as Scotty the Body. Could be related to Embarrassing First Name, but that is more about an annoyance. This one is more prideful and dramatic. For obvious reasons, this is very common with transsexual characters. Some entertainers invert this trope when they want to put their personas behind them (often because their work has become an Old Shame to them), refusing to answer to their Stage Names. May also be related to That Man Is Dead and Becoming the Mask. Compare Accidental Misnaming, Insistent Terminology, They Call Me Mister Tibbs. Can be a form of a Berserk Button. Also compare Embarrassing Nickname - someone dubbed him something insulting, and it stuck like a venereal disease. I Know Your True Name is like this but with magical ramifications though the effects can be equally powerful.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Candace!
Facts about Candace
- Breed: Beagle/Pug Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Candace's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Candace is as sweet as candy, but she's not full of herself. By her look and size (about 12 pounds) she is a Puggle (Beagle/Pug mix), and only about one year old. Whatever her mix, she is quiet and truly sweet.
Candace was in a shelter for a very long period of time and is not quite sure about being picked up. However, if you sit and allow her to come to you she LOVES to be held in your lap and simply soaks up your love and attention.
Candace is spunky and smart as all get out, but oh so quiet. The only time you may hear her is when she needs out. She would make a great dog for an apartment where she simply gets a walk a day. She gets along great with other dogs and even did well with our cat. She is ok on leash but could use a little work to be perfect on it. She does love a crate with lots of warm and fuzzy blankets inside it and doesn't make a peep while she's in it.
Do you have room for this sweetheart in your life? If so, please email us at email@example.com for an application and to find out when and where you can meet this little girl.
Other Pets at Throw Me A Bone Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Candace, a Oakley Beagle/Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle/Pug for sale in Oakley, or seeking a Beagle/Pug dog from a breeder in Oakley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Oakley already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Oakley breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle/Pug breeders who help with Beagle/Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Oakley paves the way for another one to be saved.

I have experimented (within recommended doses) with Thermogenics over the last year, both ephedra and non-ephedra. I would say that the experience has been positive: giving me more confidence, improving my concentration, helping me focus with training and of course helping me get and stay lean.
Because I have had almost no negative side-effects..
The big question is.. how safe are these products in the long-term??
When using them as recommended within the dose range, cycling when necessary, what effect do they have on one's health?? Can they deteriorate internal organs.. the heart? the stomach? the liver? the kidneys?
Ok so below I have the THEORY supporting the long-term use of ECA, of course I understand everyone is different, for some ECA is a terrible product and for me it has so far proven a solution. But I'd really like to hear your personal opinions and experiences...
Enjoy the articles if you haven't already found them!!

The connections between the sneaker world, the NBA, and rap music are incalculable, but never has the intersection between the three been so precise than in the gallery above, featuring NBA signature sneakers with a rap album twist.
The photos come via artist Patso Dimitrov, who states that he was "inspired to create a new design for some of my favorite shoes from the 2013-2014 NBA seasons while making them look like some of the best rap/hip-hop albums from the past few years." To our benefit, the result of his inspiration is quite impressive.
You can see exactly what I'm talking about by flipping through the images above. And after seeing those, I'm sure you'll want to check out the rest of the collection at Patso's website.

NEW YORK (AP) — Pfizer says the Food and Drug Administration approved its rheumatoid arthritis pill Xeljanz, seen as potential big seller for the world's largest pharmaceutical company.
Pfizer Inc. says the FDA approved Xeljanz as a treatment for moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in patients who can't take methotrexate or haven't been helped by it. Xeljanz is intended to slow the progression of the disease. The approval comes about two weeks sooner than expected.
Xeljanz, or tofacitinib, is the first rheumatoid arthritis treatment from a new class of pain medications called JAK inhibitors. The drugs interfere with enzymes that contribute to tissue inflammation.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a major area of research for drug companies because it is a chronic condition, meaning patients will likely take the drugs regularly for a long time.

Surprise, surprise: Kim Kardashian is not going to be Kris Jenner's next big talk show guest. While the rest of us were speculating about Kim's post-baby body reveal, Kris went and booked a different headliner for the Kris finale: baby North's daddy, Kanye West. Now this should be interesting!
For one thing, there have long been reports of tension between Kris and Kanye. (She wants total control over Kim and her life decisions; Kanye wants some independence and privacy.) His recent W magazine profile, which described the rapper mocking Kris to her face, did little to dispel the rumors.
Then there's the fact that Kanye hates doing interviews, particularly fluffy TV interviews. And this, no doubt, will be the pinnacle of fluffy TV interviews -- even if an Us Weekly source swears that the rapper is "really bringing it."
According to Us, Kanye is going to open up about "the baby, living with Kris Jenner, his relationship with the press and love for Kardashian."
Here's what we wish he'd talk about:
- His actual feelings about Keeping Up with the Kardashians
- What he and Kim talk about when they're alone
- What he and Kim fight about
- His real reaction to Kim's sofa-like Met Ball dress
- Why his recent album Yeezus mentioned absolutely nothing about becoming a dad
And one thing Kris Jenner might actually get him to talk about: Whether he's thinking about proposing to Kim -- and if so, will he do it on camera?
The Kris interview with Kanye West airs on Aug. 23.

"That's all you want to do. That's it. It's your way or the highway. Raise the rates on the rich. No other way. Your way or the highway. That's it. That's where we are. Thank you, Senator."
That's how CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo finished her interview with Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) last week as the two went back and forth over the fiscal cliff negotiations in Washington DC. It was the first time a Democrat has really been challenged over their lack of leadership in the negotiations.
Conventional wisdom (and therefore the dominant narrative in the media) focuses on Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans being intransigent and not meeting President Obama and the Democrats for a "balanced approach." Bartiromo exploded that narrative by challenging Cardin on ANY alternative type of revenue stream that doesn't include raising tax rates. Cardin would not agree to any of them, thus destroying the idea that Democrats are embracing the "balanced approach."
"So how come you're not moving forward? What's the problem? Because the American people are so tired of this, and they are really tired of the lawmakers thinking that the American people are stupid. You can't keep coming on the show every week saying the same thing: 'It's not a balanced approach.'"
"You're talking about $1.2 trillion in revenue, but you're not prepared to put anything on the table. People are not stupid!" more

The US gov't spends more per citizen than France, yet the chasm between US taxing and spending is the greatest of any modern civilization. There's a chasm between our self image of rugged individualists, and the reality of who we, the protected and unprotected sub-classes of peasants, actually are.
Let's face reality; we are NOT the people who founded a self governing Republic. We are the habituated dependents of Fannie Fascism; we jumped of the so-called "fiscal cliff" the moment we accepted The New Deal, which lawlessly replaced the Old Deal, a.k.a., The Constitution.

The State of New Mexico has drawn
its line in the Albuquerque sand, refusing to extend a 90-day
temporary liquor license to US Airways following several incidents
of serving alcohol onboard to intoxicated individuals, reported the
Associated Press.
In November, passenger Dana Papst drove the wrong way on
Interstate 25, killing himself and five members of a New Mexico
family in a head-on collision. His blood alcohol level was four
times the legal limit.
According to reports, US Airways had served alcohol to Papst,
even though witnesses said he appeared to be intoxicated. Police
said Papst also bought beer at a Bernalillo, NM convenience store
after disembarking from his flight in Albuquerque.
Following the crash, department officials reviewed airline
liquor licenses, discovering US Airways was among several airlines
that lacked state licenses.
Since then, five airlines have submitted applications, and one
stopped serving alcohol on New Mexico flights, according to
department documents.
As ANN reported, the state
cited US Airways in January in connection with the Papst accident,
and prohibited the airline from serving liquor on New Mexico
flights until the airline received a state liquor license.
US Airways was granted a temporary 90-day license.
At a hearing on Monday, the head of the state Regulation and
Licensing Department sought assurances that US Airways was taking
steps to avoid serving alcohol to intoxicated passengers.
Said Santa Fe lawyer Michael Campbell, representing US Airways,
the airline has no intentions of sending drunken people out on the
roads of New Mexico.
Wednesday's decision came down one day before the temporary
license was set to expire.
"US Airways has done little, if anything, to consider
implementing the state's required alcohol server training to
identify alcohol impaired or intoxicated passengers," the state
Regulation and Licensing Department said in denying the
The airline said Wednesday it sent the department a letter
explaining that it plans to incorporate aspects of New Mexico's
liquor-server training program into its flight crew training
program. The state, however, had yet to receive the letter.
The Papst incident was not to be the only one involving US
Airways serving liquor to an intoxicated passenger. The state cited
the airline again last month for serving an intoxicated person
after the passenger was arrested at a DWI roadblock less than half
an hour after leaving Albuquerque's airport. He told authorities he
had been drinking at the Phoenix airport and on his US Airways
flight from Phoenix to Albuquerque. His blood-alcohol level was
.16, according to police, twice New Mexico's legal limit for
Although Monday's
preliminary hearing was held to determine if in fact the airline
had submitted all the documentation for a permanent license, the
hearing was different in that it included others in addition to the
usual hearing officer and company officials, reported the Free New
In addition to department Superintendent Edward Lopez, those in
attendance included Gary Tomada, head of the department's Alcohol
& Gaming Division, the department's legal counsel, several
relatives of the people killed in the Papst crash, news reporters,
and four US Airways officials.
During the hearing, Lopez asked officials whether the airline
had incorporated any of New Mexico's alcohol-server training
materials into the airline's training program.
Lopez noted that the department had issued the airline a
temporary license after the airline's attorney wrote that the
airline was reviewing the state's training materials and might
incorporate portions of them into the company's training
US Airways Vice President Michael Minerva said the company
hadn't yet had a chance to incorporate any of the state's materials
because the airline trains new flight attendants in September;
there hasn't been a new class since the Papst crash, he said.
After reading aloud the state's training handbook about how to
manage intoxicated people who are intent on driving and how to
identify impairment and intoxication, Lopez said he had hoped the
airline would already have incorporated those sections of the
To which Minerva responded: The airline is considering the
state's entire training program.
However, in a contrary response, US Airways attorney Campbell
later said, "Our training materials are, we believe, sufficient in
the recognizing and treatment of intoxicated persons."
When Lopez asked if the airline had done anything differently in
regard to alcohol-server training since the Papst crash, Campbell
said the airline had issued a notification about the subject of
intoxicated people.
Ray Collins Sr., father of Renee Collins-Gonzales, who was
killed in the Papst crash with her husband and three children, also
spoke at the hearing, challenging US Airways to not just comply
with minimal training standards for serving alcohol, but to set an
industry-wide example.

In 2012, the American Diabetes Association (ADA), along with the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), updated its treatment algorithm (originally released in 2009) that recommends an order of treatment for Type 2 diabetes. An algorithm is a set of steps to follow to achieve a desired end; in this case, the desired end is a diabetes regimen that keeps blood glucose levels in target range.
The algorithm recommends starting treatment at diagnosis with lifestyle changes (usually including an improved diet and more physical activity) and the drug metformin, then adding other blood- glucose-lowering drugs as needed. The effectiveness of any diabetes treatment is measured, in part, by a blood test known as the A1C, or HbA1c, test, which indicates average blood glucose level over the previous 2–3 months. The A1C level of people without diabetes tends to be between 4% and 6%, and the target for most people with diabetes is a test result lower than 7%.
The updated algorithm recommends that if a person newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes does not reach his target A1C level after three months of using metformin and lifestyle changes, his health-care provider add a drug from either the sulfonylurea, thiazolidinedione, GLP-1 receptor agonist, DPP-4 inhibitor, or basal insulin class. If a two-drug combination does not enable the person to reach his target A1C level in about three months, adding another drug from the classes listed above is recommended. And if combination therapy that includes basal insulin doesn't result in achieving one's target A1C level, initiating multiple daily doses of short- or rapid-acting insulin before meals is recommended.
Other drugs that are not included in the algorithm but that may benefit certain individuals include meglitinides, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, colesevelam, bromocriptine, and pramlintide.
Metformin. Metformin works by limiting the release of glucose from the liver and also reducing insulin resistance, allowing the body to use insulin more efficiently. It carries a low risk of hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) and doesn't tend to cause weight gain, a common side effect of many other diabetes drugs.
Sulfonylureas. The three most commonly used sulfonylureas are glimepiride (brand name Amaryl), glipizide (Glucotrol), and glyburide (Diabeta, Micronase). These drugs are known as "insulin secretagogues," because they stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin. Because sulfonylureas work by increasing insulin levels in the body, their most common side effects are hypoglycemia and weight gain.
Thiazolidinediones. Often referred to as "glitazones," thiazolidinediones include pioglitazone (Actos) and rosiglitazone (Avandia); they work by reducing insulin resistance. However, because of concerns that rosiglitazone may increase the risk of heart attack, its use is restricted in the United States. Common side effects of these drugs include weight gain and fluid retention.
GLP-1 receptor agonists. These drugs, which must be injected, work by mimicking the actions of a natural hormone produced in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). They help lower blood glucose by causing the pancreas to produce more insulin following a meal and by decreasing production of another hormone, called glucagon, that signals the liver to release glucose. Use of these drugs often leads to weight loss. This occurs because they slow the rate at which food is moved from the stomach to the intestines, prolonging the feeling of fullness after a meal. They may also signal the brain to directly reduce feelings of hunger.

Renee James: The Key to Intel's Succession
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Intel (INTC) is going to some pains to make it appear the appointment of Brian Krzanich as CEO is an orderly succession.
It's not.
While Krzanich is being given the keys to the car, he's not sitting in the front seat all alone. There's a President next to him. The two share an "office of the President" giving this President extraordinary power.
Those who have commented on this note that said President Renee James is a female person.That's not the story. The story is that Renee James is a software person. She's not even an engineer. She's a business major from the University of Oregon. Making such a person CEO might cause engineers to storm the castle. Making her President is just an evolution. An Intel lifer, old "BK," is still in charge. Still, putting a software person on top of Intel is a bit like making an engineer CEO of Avon (AVP), or hiring a journalist to run, well, anything. It's unusual. There has to be a story here.
In the case of Renee James, the story is that she has been running the company's software units -- including the embedded software outfit Wind River -- and that she ran a group that tried to build Intel-run data centers a decade before the cloud was a thing. If the latter plan were to be resurrected, it would put Intel into direct competition with OEMs including Dell (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), which are staking their futures on managing hybrid clouds. Or it could make Intel more like First Solar (FSLR), which has regained its footing by building, managing and selling-on large solar energy plants to utility companies. In addition to all this, of course, James was also once a personal assistant to legendary CEO Andy Grove, making him appear a more knowledgeable user of technology than he actually was. The early Intel CEOs were like TV engineers who never watched "I Love Lucy," the most innovative show of its day. It does makes me wonder -- did she get Grove into that gold, cleanroom jumpsuit I saw him dance in during the 1997 E3 show in Atlanta? It would prove she can convince anyone of anything, and that's what Intel needs right now.

Apple Stores are now trademarked
Previously, Apple's application was turned down because the designs were not described as "inherently distinctive."
Interestingly, while Apple couldn't secure a patent on its retail store design earlier, it did have a patent on the signature glass staircase.
It might seem controversial to patent a store layout, but if there was one store that many tech companies would try to mimic that would definitely be the Apple Store. It's also quite telling that Microsoft has asked for a time extension on that patent to stand against it.

This is so pathetic... Hey! Apple, I've got an idea! Why don't you patent Catholic Cross, Islamic Moon or even David's Star? You would get zillions of dollars by suing those religions! #Sarcasm.
I hate Apple. Idiots!

34. Diego! (Posts: 508; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
I agree, but it's really annoying to read this kind of news. They are desperately wanting to sue everybody in order to get money. Disgusting.

They can have this patent. It's a stupid patent and it couldn't go to a more pathetic company. I hope they have more 'drive-thru's'.
15. InspectorGadget80 (Posts: 6736; Member since: 26 Mar 2011)
I remmber watching a old inter msnbc w/jobs they say he panted the glass stairways in their store. I was like u kiddin seriously patent a store?
10. Aeires (unregistered)
The bottom drawing looks really generic, not too much different than some eye glass stores I've been in. At what point can they force a company to rearrange their tables due to a "similarity" with Apple's patent? What city is going to enforce this patent, especially at the risk of losing businesses?
And it's a good thing Apple didn't patent the pyramid shape. http://www.idntourism.com/visi

I think the egyptians patented it before Apple. They were light years ahead :P

The only thing Apple won't patent is the backbone, because they don't have one.

As d lover of some Apple products, this is totally embarrassing. What is next, the lounge room layout. Cos now many stores will start to trademark their store lay out, anybody opening a store will need to apply for the rights to have a store layout, apple is creating a mess in da industry now.
18. kellkeezy (Posts: 57; Member since: 17 Dec 2011)

I guess they will do anything to have any reasons to litigate and try to make money off of...Now they're going after department stores and its designers... Unbelievable!!! What's next?! A patent for "Genius Bar" or something stupid like that?!!!!! Oh wait....they probably tried already...Really hate the greedy bitten fruit co.!

My question is why would anyone want to copy an Apple store? Certainly nothing special about it at all. God people use your brains.
25. D_Tech-tive (Posts: 104; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
Try making money off your products and not lawsuits Apple!
They must be real desperate for cash and this is their second for revenue! SMH
26. Joker (Posts: 24; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
I wonder by the end of the year, what do they have left to patent/trademark?

Actual innovation, since they clearly haven't discovered it yet
27. Taters (Posts: 3598; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Apple arrogance at it's finest. The worse thing about this is that they probably didn't even design the store. In Canada at least, there are department store design companies that are contracted to design the stores for most companies so they all look somewhat similar considering the same company designs them.
Let's hope the design firm they hire sue Apple for trademarking their design without their permission. That would be sweet justice.
30. networkdood (Posts: 6326; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Watch the stock go down in the insanity of flames known as APPLE....the looney bin.
32. Topcat488 (Posts: 1173; Member since: 29 Sep 2012)
If Apple put HALF the effort into R&D, that they've put into suing companies for rounded cornered rectangles and other stupid patents... They'd be #1. So much time and money wasted in the Lawyers office... Did McDonalds need to patent their Store Layout or "Golden Arches"?

Print Power
How The Week continues to grow print revenue (and profits) in a dotcom world.
Mobile content and community brands dominated the media category of the 2011 Inc. 5000, which recognizes the 5,000 fastest-growing privately-held companies in the U.S. (The number one company in the media category: GoLive! Mobile, which ŌĆ£creates and packages content, including videos, games, and social media, for consumers to access on their mobile phonesŌĆØ, as well as offers consulting services to companies that want to create their own mobile content.)
But ŌĆ£traditionalŌĆØ publishers made the list as well, including two Felix Dennis-owned publications: Mental Floss, ranked #50 in the media category with three-year revenue growth of 52 percent to $3.1 million in 2010, and The Week at #51 in media with three-year growth of 49 percent to $38.4 million in 2010. Unlike many of the other publishers on the list, The Week continues to flourish as a print enterprise.
Here, president Steve Kotok talks to FOLIO: about how The Week continues to boost print revenue and profit, why readers are the brandŌĆÖs best way of gaining new subscribers and why The Week is waiting until 2012 to finally jump into the app race.
FOLIO: The Week recently made the Inc. 5000 as one of fastest growing media brands. Where is the growth coming from?
Steve Kotok: I would say the growth is coming equally from subscription and advertising. The subscription growth is coming from our ability to raise price, thatŌĆÖs the biggest thing. According to ABC, our price is up 40 percent, and as measured by us as net-net itŌĆÖs doubled.
On the ad side, itŌĆÖs going from selling print ad pages to engaging with these larger brands. The number of ad packages weŌĆÖve sold at $500,00 or more since 2008 went from one to three to 10, this year it should be 15. The vast majority are combining print, digital, and events. We wouldnŌĆÖt say, ŌĆśOh, itŌĆÖs coming from print ads or digital ads.ŌĆÖ ItŌĆÖs coming from our ability to offer larger packages to the advertising brands and serve them if they want to make a splash in D.C., to serve them digitally, to serve them in multiple ways.
There is stuff we put in buckets for accounting, but when really looking at our biggest sales, we may say $600,000 of this goes to print, $400,000 goes to digital, and $50,000 goes to an event fee. We wouldnŌĆÖt be able to sell any of it without the other.
FOLIO: Are packages coming from existing advertisers or new advertisers?
Kotok: ItŌĆÖs a combination. Every year you start new, some are existing advertisers, a lot of them are newŌĆ"itŌĆÖs definitely breaking a lot of new business but thatŌĆÖs not really a distinguishing factor. Every year we make our best shot at them.
FOLIO: Please talk about current revenue ratios (print versus digital versus other channels). What is it today and how has that changed in recent years? What does it need to be going forward?
Kotok: Subscriptions and print advertising are more or less equal with Web ads being 15 to 18 percent of the revenue generated by print ads. However, print and Web ads combined exceed subscription revenue.
FOLIO: Do you see that changing going forward?
Kotok: I donŌĆÖt now if we will see a huge change. A few years ago we may have thought that ads were going to grow faster than subscriptions but our ability to grow subscription revenue and keep it growing has surprised us. I donŌĆÖt think weŌĆÖll start doing more digital advertising than print advertising.
WeŌĆÖre going on the Kindle, Nook and iPad in January and thatŌĆÖs all circulation revenue. I donŌĆÖt see the mix radically changing, although we still see our print subscriptions and our print ads growing. Web ads are growing faster but at 15 percent of print revenue, itŌĆÖs not a massive shiftŌĆöwe may go 80/20, 75/25, print to digital in the future. We have a good business. WeŌĆÖre aware of the trends. Even before digital, there were trends to follow. WeŌĆÖre not embarrassed of print.
FOLIO: WhatŌĆÖs the role of the print magazine versus the other channels? How do advertising and circulation revenue compare?
Kotok: WeŌĆÖre approaching the magazine as profitable in and of itself. WeŌĆÖre not trying to replace lost subscribers or lost ad revenue, our ad revenue is still up year-over-year for the last five years, as is subscription revenue and circulation. Some of that print revenue is up due to digital, but the role of print has been reader-first. In third-party reader studies, people says theyŌĆÖve read the last four issues of The Week at double the rate of some competitive magazines. The number one source of new subscribers is gifted subscriptions.
I see digital growing over the next five years so we have a digital business that can stand on its own in case something happens with print down the road. We see print being more profitable next year than this year and every print revenue stream is growing. ItŌĆÖs not something weŌĆÖre covering up for.
FOLIO: At a time when many magazines are cutting rate base, The Week raised it again in 2011. Please talk about audience growth for The Week. How do newsstand and subscription readers compare? How do the print and digital readers compare?
Kotok: Newsstand is not a big focus for us. For most magazines of our category, less than 5 percent of readers come from the newsstand, and weŌĆÖre even less than that. At The Week, weŌĆÖre trying to create converts rather than something youŌĆÖre trying to buy as a distraction on an airplane. Our focus is on subscription. Our secret weapon is the fact that we donŌĆÖt have to spend much to acquire subscribers because our readers are so evangelistic about it. We look at how are we treating our readersŌĆöare we sending them too much stuff, are we providing them with a premium experience whether itŌĆÖs from customer service or things we mail them or how they receive their first issue.
ThatŌĆÖs our golden goose and weŌĆÖre very sensitive to preserving that. If people see us as just another magazine, we wonŌĆÖt have that. WeŌĆÖre putting a lot of focus now into those evangelistic effortsŌĆöthey buy gift subs for their friends, they send samples to friends, they give insert cards to their friends. We feel a huge onus to do more focus groups and surveys looking at what weŌĆÖre sending. If these people are our golden goose, are we treating them as the golden goose?
FOLIO: How much staff is devoted to circulation and audience development?
Kotok: Generally, when we look at other competitive titles, our circulation staff is much smaller. Newsweek and The Economist each have 12 or 13 people and we have three. We just run smaller teamsŌĆöfewer circ people, fewer ad people, fewer edit peopleŌĆöyet we have the most loved edit as measured by engagement.
FOLIO: Last year, you said digital accounted for one-third of the profits for The Week and you expected 50 percent digital growth in 2011. Is that still on track? Where are you focused for digital growth?
Kotok: Digital is still on track on a revenue basisŌĆöwe grew digital by 50 percent. WeŌĆÖre investing more on the digital side and print profit grew faster than we expected, so digital is probably not one-third of profits anymore.
FOLIO: Who is your competition online?
Kotok: ItŌĆÖs a different competitive set online. There are certainly some titles that arenŌĆÖt in print such as Slate.com, which is a great site on both the edit and business side. But the nice thing is itŌĆÖs less competitive online. We never felt that competitive in printŌĆöwe felt readers would love The New Yorker and The Economist and weŌĆÖre pro-other great writing. Online, with a link economy, weŌĆÖre not just referencing those sources but linking and driving traffic to these quote-unquote competitors.
FOLIO: Please talk about The WeekŌĆÖs approach to appsŌĆöyou seem to be moving more cautiously than other publishers. What role will apps play for the brand in the future?
Kotok: WeŌĆÖre looking for simpler, more elegant, reader-driven solutions. There was huge pressureŌĆöno question there would be a lot of ad money with an iPad launch but we donŌĆÖt manage our business that way. We didnŌĆÖt feel the pressure to join the gold rush.
The iPad is still seen so much as an advertising opportunity, but we see this the same way as the website getting people who arenŌĆÖt print people. If we can provide them with a great experience and a paid experience, if we can develop an audience of however many tens or hundreds of thousands of people paying us each week and each year, thatŌĆÖs much more of what weŌĆÖre interested in. If we engage them there and in other media, the advertisers will want to come.

Nalco's Profits Jump on 'Substantial' Volume Growth
7:05 AM MDT | April 27, 2011 | Kerri Walsh
Nalco's net income jumped 32%, to $33 million (24 cts/share) excluding an $84-million after tax gain from the sale of two businesses. Earnings were 26 cts/share after adjusting for the divestitures, restructuring charges, and other unusual items. Sales grew 11%, to $1.1 billion, because of "substantial volume growth and moderate pricing gains," Nalco says. Sales rose across all segments, particularly in energy services based on new account growth in the upstream markets, the company says. Raw material costs rose across all businesses. ...

Port Of Spain, T...
I instantly fell in love with the jumpsuit pattern recently posted by Burdastyle. It was not difficult to make, it fits well and it looks pretty much like the one in the picture. I think I went a bit wild with the fabric choice but I still like the overall look of it. Challenge: mattching up those zig-zags perfectly. Oh, I did a tutorial on attaching the biased binding as trim with a fabric facing. Project blogged about here
2 3/4 yards lightweight synthetic fabric, 3/4 "satin biased binding
Jul 2, 2013, 09.03 PMby Katherine Awadalla
This is fabulous! I've just downloaded the pattern but don't recognize the sizing…what measurement does the size refer to?
Jul 5, 2013, 12.36 AMby ariation
Sorry for the delay. Here is the link to the size charts. The pattern is tall though but it probably will work well regardless. Can't wait to see it!
Jul 8, 2013, 08.56 PMby Katherine Awadalla
Oops. Thanks for your reply. I clicked on what I thought was the link but it was the button that marks your comment as 'inappropriate'!! Sorry. my mistake and thanks for your help : )
Feb 21, 2013, 11.49 PMby Meldbombs
Great, a little wild but in a good way, how did you line it up? Hehe
Feb 24, 2013, 12.20 AMby ariation
Thanks! Mostly I pinned the fabric before I layed the pattern on it. I matched where I layed the fabric for the top pocket pattern tand for top pants pattern before I cut.

If you're thinking of setting them on fire... you can just think that you are thankful he's your ex. Forget about him/them, not worth your time or energy. Concentrate on positives....not negative energies...

This minimial inspired shoe is perfect for hiking. The GoLite Neon Lite has a nubuck upper that breathes as you walk, while still providing serious durability. The Bare-Tech platform offers a zero drop heel in order to fit your natural stride, while the dual density eva midsole protects your feet from rocky terrain. A Sticky Gecko™ outsole provides maximum traction, so the GoLite Neon Lite is ready for any trail that you are!
This style runs small, for the best fit order down 1/2 size.
No two feet are alike...not even your own. That's why Golite's exclusive Precise Fit system is designed to make GoLite Footwear instantly customizable to accommodate a narrow, medium or wide foot. By simply removing or adding a pad to the insole(included), you can modify the forefoot volume in the shoe to get a better, more comfortable fit.
