"We didn't always know what we wanted, but because Melisa knew us and our goals, she was able to present us options to react to. Granted, by the end of the process, we just started asking her what her recommendation was, because that was the one we always liked."
"With other designers, I feel like you buy into their look and it's their way or nothing. With Melisa, I never once felt like she was giving us "Option B" from an A-E set of designs. Frankly, I don't know if her mind even works that way…her view of the world is completely custom-tailored to the space and the people." – Lara
A newly married couple had recently combined two sets of assorted household furnishings. They tasked me with creating a fun and relaxing space that felt like cohesive home. New accessories and a different layout were used to give them a warmer environment.
Guest Bathroom
The guest bath was overhauled to give it a seaside cottage feel. Large plate glass mirrors were removed and the walls were repaired, textured, and painted. New glass was put in a 1960's wall mirror to use above the vanity.
Vintage accessories add interest.
A vintage Lucite clam-shell was perfect for the owners' monogrammed face towels.
The 1980's light fixture was replaced and the old mirrored medicine cabinet was covered with a custom cabinet door made from a weathered window shutter.
Guest Bedroom
An antique hand carved Javanese temple door was hung as a floating headboard.
Saving the "big cushy chair" was a non-negotiable, so it was used at an angle in the corner with a family heirloom used as the side table.
Dining Space
A round table makes better use of the small eat-in area adjacent the kitchen.
As the homeowners were very active participants in the decoration of their home, there were many projects we took on ourselves. Together the wife and I removed what I termed the "rest home chandelier" hung far too close to the ceiling. We made the first attempt at hanging this pendant light but blew some major fuses. In the end, someone else hung it for us. At least we tried!
We removed the formal wedding photos and swapped them with the fun, energetic and more personal black and white photos that were in their albums. The new photos were a much more accurate depiction of who the couple truly are. The Staghorn fern had been with Apartment 46 since its opening day. He's happy in his new home!
A cafeteria-style clock was replaced with a modern floating block clock that can be rearranged whenever the mood strikes. Clocks are extremely important to the homeowners…
Living Room
For extra seating in the small space a reupholstered vintage MacGuire bamboo chair was added in a corner.
The fireplace mantel was kept relatively spare with just a few meaningful accessories.
The couple are huge Harry Potter fans, so as an homage to the preferred method of travel in the books, I stacked antique travel cases in the unused fireplace.
This is Bo, an amazing Puggle. I am now known as his "Auntie." He came into the homeowners' lives near the completion of the backyard project. As animal lovers, the homeowners are committed to adopting rescued animals and fostering feral cats. Apartment 46 proudly supports the adoption of shelter animals who are deeply in need of loving homes. What better addition to any home than a loving pet-family member?

Question of Funding for Lit Mags
Susan writes: "Over the last few months we have been trying not to make the hard decision to suspend publication of Rock & Sling — pending procurement of long-term sustainable funding (tell me there is such a thing!). The problem of finances for independent presses runs deep. Without university backing to absorb some of the costs, the independent press must put an inordinate amount of time and energy into finding funding. We have found ourselves without sufficient partners and subscriptions alone haven't proved to be enough. Suspending publication will allow our (all volunteer) staff to spend their time in the donations, grants, and endowments world more effectively.
"It seems a shame to have gotten this far and feel like we have established a niche for ourselves, only to have to stop production and turn all attention to finding support. I suppose any business major would have seen it coming from the get-go. Perhaps on your blog you can throw out the question of how independent presses can maintain financial stability. Where they can find funding—is govt. funding the answer? How does a journal like Rock & Sling (with a Christian bent to its content) get past the hyper vigilance of separation of church and state? Clearly we don't want to be under any denomination—so church monies are not to be had."
Susan also humorously added that it should be the law that writers who submit to lit mags should have to subscribe to at least one (another ongoing issue...). But, are subscriptions even enough in this day of increased postal rates and overall higher costs?
Any comments/advice? I'm sure this is an issue of concern for many. And, I already know what some will say - that even publications with university affiliation are not guarnteed funding. So, where does the money come from?
3 comments:
I believe the money comes from warm hearts and those with a passion for the written word, enough so to throw in their own long-term blood and savings. I don't think subscriptions, advertising, and fund-raisers will result in enough revenue to sustain a typical non-college-affiliated lit mag these days, although there are a few success stories. I think if you are looking to break even, you are probably fooling yourself. I think that some lit mags are started by people with a lot of money who just woke up one day and said, "Gee, I'd like to start a lit mag and be an editor." Not good. They will probably publish many friends (regardless of writing quality) and, after figuring out revenue is very slim, they'll move on to something else. I think the most honorable and "successful" non-college lit mags are run by those where art means everything and what little money they have can be used to turn out a beautiful product.

"Clearly we don't want to be under any denomination—so church monies are not to be had."
What about non-denominational sources? Corporate foundations with a Christian bent (Walden Media comes to mind; I assume there are others)?

To the first anon. comment--would love to talk to you about how any journal (independant or not)maintains intrgrity (with regard to who and what is published). Journals who show no integrity rarely last more than a year, at most two. See our website for an email address www.rockandsling.org
To the second anon. comment--THANK YOU!

Really sorry about the thrush/ mastitis. I had both of them, but not at the same time, so I can only empathize with what you are going through. If you are going through this for over a month ask your doctor to do a resistance check. What that means is that he can test your infection culture to see if it resistant to certain types of medication.
For mastitis, I hope you are pumping/ feeding more than usual. That is the only way to get over it. A trick I used was to massage my breast & then apply a hot washcloth at the area of the lump while I was pumping.
Since this is your third time, I would suggest that you check your breast for lumps after every feeding. Sometimes prevention is better than cure.
Hang in there. You have made it so far. If you can get over this current phase, it should be easy from here. Good luck.

Oh man, the phrase that comes to mind is "Dream come true." Never in a million years did I think I'd be a part of the New York Yankees.
That's what Nick Swisher told us how he felt when he'd been traded to the Yankees after the 2008 season. Fast forward to the present, and it seems like Swish is about to wake up from that "dream." All indications point to the eccentric outfielder, now represented by Scott Boras, taking a multi-year deal to play elsewhere.
The fickle, what-have-you-done-for-me-lately group known as Yankee fans want him out of the Bronx, and by an overwhelming margin. We're a bit more sentimental, as he did give us a great interview a couple years back. But we're not Joe Torre, so we don't make our recommendations based on nostalgia. We'll evaluate Swish objectively.
Swisher was the best trade of the Brian Cashman "full-authority" era
Using an understanding of BABIP, Cashman absolutely robbed White Sox GM Kenny Williams when he traded for Swisher in November 2008. In his Yankee career, Swisher hit .268/.367/.483 (124 OPS+, 128 wRC+) and played solid defense. He also generated 15.1 wins above replacement.
This was grand theft.
Fans criticize Swisher for his lack of "clutch"
Fact — Nick Swisher was one of baseball's best hitters with RISP for 2012. And since joining the Yanks in 2009, he's been pretty good in that regard, hitting .267/.396/.466 (.371 wOBA, 130 wRC+). He's actually hit better with RISP than he has overall. In fact, his numbers with RISP since 2009 are better than Robinson Cano, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson, and Curer of Cancer Derek Jeter. Facts are facts.
The playoffs have been a different story for Nicholas, as he's hit .169/.283/.305 in 181 career postseason PAs. This is where the angst from fans comes from. You can argue that he folds in October like a cheap suit, but he's been a very good player for the Yankees. And if you are of the "clutch" persuasion, he's come through in the regular season (which you need to get into the playoffs) better than some of the superstars whose posters you probably tape to the ceiling above your bed.
What should the Yankees do with Nick Swisher?
Swish earned $10.25 million in 2012. This was great value for his level of production. He's been worth over $17 million in each of the past two seasons. In his next deal, we wouldn't be surprised to see an annual average salary of $15 million+.
With that said, the Yankees should absolutely extend him a qualifying offer ($13.3 million under new CBA). If he leaves, the Yankees get a draft pick. If he accepts, the Yankees get him for 1-year at a very nice rate, and still have flexibility at the end of the 2013 season to get under the Steinbrenner Cap. This is common sense.
After ditching his previous agent for Boras the Terrible, there's no way Swish accepts the Yankees qualifying offer, and the idea of a Jayson Werth-type contract was floated earlier in the year. Werth signed for 7 years, but even if Swish looks for something around 4, the Yankees should bid farewell to the tongue-wagging switch-hitter.
Swisher turns 32 on November 25th, and wouldn't it be something if the Yankees didn't sign someone through their decline years? A 4-year deal, for example, would bring him to age 36.
Age aside, the key is for Cashman to have enough wiggle room under the Steinbrenner Cap. There are and will be bigger priorities to address, and signing a right-fielder through his mid-30s shouldn't be one of them. If Swish can get a lengthy deal, then good for him. He's been a very good player. But, it's simply not in the Yankees best interests' to lock him up to that type of deal.
Right-field is a position, that with a little bit of creativity, can be filled for cheaper money and similar production.
Option #1 Ichiro
He'll come cheap. First, we're probably looking at a 1-year deal. Second, the Mariners paid two-thirds of his remaining salary to play in New York in exchange for two marginal prospects. That gives you an idea of how the market values Ichiro at 39 years of age. We would offer Ichiro a one-year deal in the $5-6 mil range. It's doubtful another team would guarantee a contract that will take him through his age 41 season. Another team might be willing to offer slightly more salary on a one-year deal, but Ichiro is probably not going to spurn New York City and a shot at his first World Series championship to go play in Kansas City for a 15% increase.
We are under no illusion that he's Ichiro of yesteryear. Keep in mind that he's been god awful with the bat over the last two seasons with a .277/.308/.361 line. There is hope that he can rebound, based on his small sample (!!) in New York.
Like Jeter, Ichiro depends on a high babip to sustain his on-base percentage. To be successful, Ichiro has to chopstick the ball and either hope it has eyes, or otherwise use his speed to beat the infieder's throw. So goes the babip, so goes Suzuki. Unfortunately, Safeco Field has been a babip-killer recently. This doesn't explain away Ichiro's brutal stretch, as his numbers on the road these past two years have also been wretched. But whatever the combination of park factors, skills, and randomness, Ichiro came out of his funk upon donning the pinstripes. As a Yankee, Ichiro hit for a .342 wOBA and his offense was a robust 14% better than average (as measured by wRC+).
Age and his offensive output over the last two seasons make Ichiro a bit of a question mark. However, his speed and defense set a reasonable floor for his value. Even with the bad overall bat numbers, Ichiro was still worth 2.6 WAR last year. He is certainly capable of replacing at least 2 of the wins the Yankees will lose with a departing Swisher — and they will save millions, which they can use to boost the rotation.
Plus, imagine Gardner and Ichiro roaming the outfielder corners. That's a hell of a defensive formation.
Option #2 The Dick / Hair combo
Chris Dickerson vs RHP: .269/.354/.424 (107 wRC+) in 505 career PAs, and solid defense
Free Agent Scott Hairston vs. LHP: .276/.325/.500 (119 wRC+) — made $1.1 million in 2012
Good production from both sides of the plate, and a fraction of the cost of what Swisher will command. It may not recoup all of Swisher's production, but that's millions the Yankees can spend elsewhere.
Vote Dick/Hair!
Option #3 Trade
Real bad boys move in silence, so who knows who's available. Arizona is reportedly open to Justin Upton offers (for the millionth time), and he's a curious case. But we'll tackle those trade ideas when we get a sense of who's on the market. The most feasible options are the first two we outlined.

Campaign finance rules have changed markedly since 2008 -- making this, the only case of its kind, one to watch.
Jury selection in the federal criminal trial of John Edwards begins Thursday April 12th in a Greensboro, N.C., courtroom. As the world now knows, Edwards chose to cheat on his cancer-stricken wife during his 2008 presidential run. Two wealthy political supporters then spent hundreds of thousands of dollars supporting Edwards's mistress as part of a failed effort to keep the affair quiet. Prosecutors decided that the financial support constituted unreported, excessive and thus illegal campaign donations, and indicted Edwards for his role in the arrangement.
The story of Edwards and his paramour Rielle Hunter has been told by former campaign aide Andrew Young in excruciating detail in his book The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought Him Down. The story that has not been detailed is why the sex scandal turned into a federal case, whether it should have, and how Edwards -- the famed trial lawyer -- has bungled the run up to his own trial.
While the former United States Senator and Democratic vice presidential nominee continues to garner tabloid attention, the same mainstream media that was late to report on his extramarital affair has been similarly slow to focus on the significant legal and political questions posed by his prosecution. Below are some of the most compelling storylines that have received scant national attention so far:
The unprecedented nature of Edwards's prosecution. Edwards is being tried for activity for which no one has ever before been indicted. In fact, two former Federal Election Commission Chairs are prepared to testify (according to a letter they've sent to the Justice Department) that the prosecution "is without precedent in federal election law, and that the Federal Election Commission would not support a finding that the conduct constituted a civil violation much less warranted a criminal prosecution." Prosecutors have fought hard but so far unsuccessfully to keep the former top campaign cops from testifying; Edwards's defense may well rise or fall on their trial appearance and performance.
How the Citizens United decision makes the case seem dated. Lack of precedent aside, the prosecution of Edwards appears anachronistic in light of the changes wrought by the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United (and the follow on D.C. Circuit ruling in Speechnow). Today, unlike when the investigation of Edwards began in 2008, Super PACs are permitted to raise and spend enormous sums of individual and corporate money in direct support of candidates, often accompanied by minimal reporting and disclosure requirements. The tens of millions spent by Sheldon Adelson, Foster Friess and others in explicit support of 2012 Republican presidential primary campaigns makes the $900,000 spent keeping Hunter content and quiet seem rather paltry. And a central premise of the indictment of Edwards -- that "in order to restrict the influence that any one person could have on the outcome" of a presidential primary election, "the most an individual can contribute to any candidate for that primary election was $2,300" -- seems downright quaint.
How a Republican U.S. Attorney benefited from the Bush-era U.S. Attorney scandal. George Holding, the North Carolina prosecutor who initiated the investigation of Edwards and pressed for his indictment, is a staunch Republican who remained in office during the Obama Administration thanks -- oh-so-ironically -- to the backlash against the politicization of federal prosecutors by the Bush Administration. Holding spoke openly about seeking partisan political office while still serving as a U.S. Attorney, stepped down to run for Congress just after indicting Edwards, and has used the indictment as a centerpiece of his political campaign, while repeatedly criticizing the president who permitted him to holdover as U.S. Attorney for North Carolina's Eastern District. In pre-trial motions, the defense has alleged not just that Holding had political ambitions but that he harbored outright bias against Edwards as well. In support of its allegation, the defense noted Holding's donations to Edwards's Republican opponent in a 1998 U.S. Senate race, Holding's time as an aide to Edwards's political nemesis Jesse Helms, and his work as a law clerk to a federal trial judge whose confirmation for a Court of Appeals seat was blocked by then-Senator Edwards. Here is a second Holding-related irony: if Holding wins his Congressional race (as many Republican observers think likely), he is widely expected to seek North Carolina's next available U.S. Senate seat. So Holding's indictment of former Senator John Edwards could play a crucial part of the making of future Senator George Holding.
The high stakes for the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section. Based on the pre-trial hearings, it's clear that David Harbach of the U.S. Department of Justice's Public Integrity Section is quarterbacking the government's trial team. Harbach has filled the role ably, seems to have earned the grudging respect of Edwards's lead lawyer (Abbe Lowell), and brings not only his Harvard Law School pedigree but lived experience in central North Carolina (where the case will be tried), thanks to four years of college at Duke University. But the fallout from his section's botched prosecution of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens has continued throughout the run up to Edwards's trial. As a result, the pressure on Harbach to oversee a successful, rule-abiding prosecution is intense.
What's with the famed lawyer's attorney-churning? You would think that a successful trial lawyer such as Edwards would be perfectly positioned to identify, recruit and maintain the best group of advocates money can buy. Instead, his effort to build a legal "Dream Team" has looked bush league and amateurish as he's churned through one attorney after another. His questionable decisions include hiring a former high-ranking Obama Administration lawyer at the same time he was trying to convince Obama's Justice Department not to authorize his prosecution. Why put a presidential administration trying to prove it's above "revolving door, politics-as-usual" behavior in the awkward position of appearing to do Edwards a favor just after he hired the president's former White House counsel? The Justice Department refused to step in and stop the prosecution. Edwards also put Wade Smith -- one of the best criminal defense lawyers in North Carolina history -- in the position of being a fact witness, thus precluding Smith from representing him at trial. Then, on the eve of trial, a respected and effective North Carolina-based attorney on the defense team withdrew just as Edwards made another ham-handed move: padding his team with the lawyers representing Rielle Hunter in her fight with Andrew Young over control of the infamous Edwards-Hunter "sex tape."
The media outlets that do decide to cover the trial are likely to find a defense team given wide latitude by presiding judge Catherine Eagles (a highly intelligent yet folksy judge who may strike some television show-minded trial observers from out-of-state as part Matlock, part Aunt Bea). Judge Eagles dealt Edwards a body blow last October when she denied his motion to dismiss the indictment. Yet since then, Edwards has prevailed on every big argument between the sides she's had to settle: whether the former FEC Commissioners would be barred from testifying; whether the trial would be postponed due to Edwards's claim of poor health; whether he could add Hunter's civil attorneys to his team; and the extent to which the defense can raise Young's questionable "sex tape" case conduct on cross-examination.

Back in 1985, Frog Design chief Hartmut Esslinger took a break from his work concocting sleek boxes for Apple Computer to pen a modern take on the motorcycle. The resulting Rana – also known as the frog FZ750 – caused quite a stir and became the inspiration for the Honda Hurricane. Now, as the Rana is inducted into the SFMOMA, the firm has revisited two-wheeled transportation and released a sequel concept, the Rana2.
Like the original, which was based on the Yamaha FZ750, this new design is an evolution, rather than a revolution. Indeed, we have seen many of its elements already incorporated in other electric motorcycles. For instance, the main body of the bike puts us in mind of the Brammo Enertia and we've previously seen a hub motor, albeit less fantastical looking, successfully implemented in the Australian road-racing Catavolt. Even the lane-marking light system is currently incorporated in the square scooter from Boxx.
It does have it charms and interesting elements though. It boasts a trinity of cylindrical swappable batteries – one question: on the other side, is all we see plus signs? – and the projected display would be pretty neat-o on a night ride. (Of course, the Mission Motors solution of installing a tablet to serve as an instrument display is likely more functional, but hey).
All things considered, we're happy to see designers taking a crack at imbuing green transportation devices with desirability. Was Frog effectual in that goal with the Rana2? We'll let you tell us in the comments but for our part, we've already returned to our what-is-MotoCzysz-bringing-for-2012 mode.

WASHINGTON, April 7, 2013 — When a political party loses the national popular vote in five of six presidential elections, as the GOP has, there is a tendency to reinvent the wheel and overcorrect.
We see it from Republicans who view the reemergence of the gay marriage debate as an opportunity for the party of endorse same-sex marriage. It could open up more fundraising opportunities from pro-gay marriage GOP donors in New York, California, and Florida. It can help Republicans begin the process of appealing to young voters, 81 percent of whom support gay marriage. So the thinking goes.
SEE RELATED: Fred Karger on how he is building an LGBT-friendly Republican Party
But alienating social conservatives in an effort to raise money and appeal to young voters is a flawed political strategy.
Evangelical voters are indispensable to the success of any Republican presidential candidate in a primary or general election. In the 2012 Republican primaries, 51 percent of the voters were self-identified born-again evangelicals. In the general election, 79 percent of white evangelicals voted for Mitt Romney.
If the Republican Party formally endorses gay marriage, it will lose its base.
It has become conventional wisdom that the GOP is getting older, and whiter, and must appeal to young voters and minorities in order to win presidential elections. But the next presidential election is not until 2016. Midterm elections are in 2014.
SEE RELATED: Why opinion is shifting on same-sex marriage
So why alienate the evangelical base, which you will need in 2014, in an attempt to appeal to young voters you do not need until 2016?
The GOP needs a bigger tent. Substituting social conservatives for young voters, however, does not widen the tent, it keeps the size of the tent the same, with a different coalition.
Beyond that, supporting gay marriage is not the only way to win over young people. Passing comprehensive immigration reform will help. A foreign policy of restraint, not nation-building, will be appealing to young voters. So will a booming economy with well-paying jobs.
Other Republicans also worry that the party will be perceived as "anti-gay." It is no longer fashionable these days to suggest that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Opponents of gay marriage are now seen as bigots, or backward-thinking Jesus freaks. Bill O'Reilly calls them Bible-thumpers.
But there are ways to dispel that negative image without endorsing gay marriage. Was President Obama a bigot when he advocated for traditional marriage? No. Neither was Hillary Clinton or any other Democrat who was against same-sex marriage before they became for it. Put it that way to voters.
The GOP Establishment can still keep traditional marriage in the party platform, and at the same time remain tolerant of supporters of same-sex marriage within the party. Embrace Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL), Rob Portman (R-OH), and every other Republican in the West or Northeast that supports gay marriage. Have an attitude of "there is more that unites us than divides us." It will show voters that the GOP is still welcoming to people they may disagree with on a particular issue.
Social conservatives are a big part of the Republican base. The GOP cannot win without them.

Resolution Copper Cutting Jobs Due To Uncertainty
SUPERIOR, Ariz. (AP) â¿¿ An Arizona mining company says it will suspend shaft and drilling work at its Superior operation and eliminate approximately 400 jobs as a result of continued uncertainty regarding a proposed land exchange.
Resolution Copper Mining says it'll try to place affected workers within other operations of Resolution or its parent company, Australia-based BHP Hilton.
The job reductions amount to about 75 percent of Resolution's workforce. The reductions are to start by the end of December and concluded by the end of March.
Resolution would swap 5,300 acres of land for conservation purposes for 2,400 acres of national forest land that company calls critical for its expansion plans.The exchange has been stalled in Congress for years, opposed by some conservationists and American Indians.

ACP-ASIM Pressroom
ACP-ASIM Disappointed at Supreme Court Decision Preventing FDA Regulation of Tobacco
College Calls on Congress to Authorize Meaningful FDA Tobacco Regulation
(WASHINGTON): The American College of Physician - American Society of Internal Medicine (ACP-ASIM) issued a statement today expressing deep disappointment at the Supreme Court's ruling that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not have jurisdiction to regulate tobacco products or cigarette marketing practices under current law.
"Cigarettes and other tobacco products represent a major health threat to the American public," said ACP-ASIM President Whitney Addington, MD, FACP. "In light of the Supreme Court's action, Congress needs to respond by immediately giving the FDA the authority to regulate this dangerous substance."
Dr. Addington cited legislation drafted by Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN) and included in Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) tobacco control legislation debated by the United Senate in 1998 as a good model for giving FDA the authority to regulate tobacco. If Congress had passed this bill in 1998, he pointed out, the FDA would already have the authority to implement a tobacco regulation program.
"We must be particularly vigilant so that another generation of children does not become addicted to tobacco," said Dr. Addington. "Strong regulations limiting juvenile access to tobacco products, as well as tight controls on tobacco company marketing practices, are a must."
ACP-ASIM is the nation's largest medical specialty organization and the second largest physician group. Membership comprises more than 115,000 internal medicine physicians and medical students. Internists are the major providers of medical care to adults in America.

Attribute : as it applies to web development technology
An attribute is a characteristic and corresponding value that you apply to an element or object to specify how it behaves or looks. In web development the word attribute applies to many technologies. An attribute of you may be [ age=25 ] or [ height=72in ] or [ awake=yes ]. Where age, height, and awake are the attributes themselves and 25, 72in, and yes are their corresponding values. It is not any more complicated than that.

Human heads found at Chicago airport
Customs officials made a gruesome discovery at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport -- 18 frozen human heads.
The heads were found during a routine X-ray of cargo that was passing through the facility, The Associated Press reported.
Police said the heads had been used for medical research and were being returned to Illinois for cremation.
But a glitch in paperwork held them up as U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents investigated, ABC News reported.
The somewhat grisly discovery is not that uncommon.
Doctors, medical facilities and research companies ship human body parts all the time, officials told ABC News, but this time the shipment raised flags due to the paperwork problem.

The KewlFit targeted temperature 58°F/14°C Cooling Vest by TechNiche International is changing the way athletes workout. Athletes from a wide range of sports are reporting increases in endurance, performance and workout intensity.
Athletes from a wide range of sports are turning to the KewlFit 58°F/14°C Performance Cooling Vest to help them throughout their training. Conditioning athletes are reporting increases in their overall endurance as well as improvements later in their cardio exercises. Strength training athletes are reporting bigger lifts and the ability to finish sets stronger than ever before. These reports coincide with the academic research that states cooling the body at a targeted temperature allows athletes to have increases in overall performance, endurance and workout comfort.
The KewlFit targeted temperature Performance Cooling Vest is changing the way athletes train both during the season as well as in the offseason. Athletes are now able to pre-cool before games and exercises at the recommended 58°F temperature which has shown to not invoke a vasoconstriction response like ice vests do. The research agrees that athletes that pre-cool are able to accomplish more before heat fatigue is reached than athletes that don't. This results in better workouts, improved conditioning and an athlete that is more ready for competition.
The KewlFit Performance Cooling Vest also allows athletes to wear during actual exercise and training for improvements in intensity, workout comfort and overall performance. Keeping the core cooler during exercise enables athletes to keep a lower core temperature while allowing the working muscles to work through the training. This results in better overall workouts and the ability to finish cardio sets at a better rate.

What's New
Older than 120 days
New England relying more on natural gas along with hydroelectric imports from Canada
Aug 22, 2014
Electric operators in New England have been both generating more electricity from natural gas and importing more hydroelectric generation from Quebec over the past decade. These two sources of electricity are displacing the use of coal and oil as generation fuels in New England.
Average Brent crude oil prices trade within $5 per barrel range for 13 months in a row
Aug 21, 2014
Brent crude oil spot prices averaged $107 per barrel (bbl) in July, marking the 13th consecutive month in which average Brent crude oil prices were between $107/bbl and $112/bbl. Although supply growth from non-OPEC countries has outpaced world consumption in the past year, its potential price-reducing effect has been offset by unplanned supply outages among producers in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
State-Level Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2000-2011
Aug 21, 2014
This analysis examines some of the factors that influence state-level carbon dioxide emissions from the consumption of fossil fuels. These factors include: the fuel mix— especially in the generation of electricity; the state climate; the population density of the state; the industrial makeup of the state and whether the state is a net exporter or importer of electricity.
Prime Supplier Report
Aug 21, 2014
The latest Prime Supplier Report presents data collected through June 2014 on Form EIA-782C, "Monthly Report of Prime Supplier Sales of Petroleum Products Sold for Local Consumption." These data measure primary petroleum product deliveries into the states where they are locally marketed and consumed.
Russia-China deal will supply Siberian natural gas to China's northern, eastern provinces
Aug 20, 2014
China's natural gas demand has been growing as the government seeks to move away from coal in favor of cleaner fuels. According to EIA's International Energy Outlook 2013 (IEO2013) Reference case, demand will more than triple from 5.2 Tcf in 2012 to 17.5 Tcf by 2040.
Hawaii and U.S. Territories aim to increase fuel diversity with LNG imports
Aug 19, 2014
Unlike the rest of the United States, energy consumption in island states and territories is almost entirely petroleum-based. These islands may soon be able to diversify their energy sources to include natural gas, because relatively low natural gas prices and new shipping technology may allow these islands to import liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Natural gas serves a small, but growing, portion of China's total energy demand
Aug 18, 2014
China relies heavily on domestic coal to meet rising energy consumption. To reduce air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions, the Chinese government is attempting to replace some of the country's coal and oil use with natural gas, aided by large investments in domestic natural gas production and infrastructure, along with growing imports.
Reasons for projected natural gas-fired generation growth vary by region
Aug 15, 2014
EIA projects that natural gas-fired electric power sector generation in the contiguous United States will increase to 1,600 million megawatthours (MWh) by 2040, a 1.3% average annual increase. This growth is spread throughout the Lower 48 states, and the reasons for the growth vary in each region.
Egypt Country Analysis Brief
Aug 14, 2014
Egypt is the largest oil producer in Africa outside of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the second-largest natural gas producer on the continent, behind Algeria. Egypt plays a vital role in international energy markets through the operation of the Suez Canal and Suez-Mediterranean (SUMED) Pipeline. Egypt's economy has not fully recovered since the 2011 revolution. The government continues to fund energy subsidies, which cost the government $26 billion in 2012, and this has contributed to the country's high budget deficit and the inability of the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), the country's national oil company, to pay off its debt to foreign operators.
India is increasingly dependent on imported fossil fuels as demand continues to rise
Aug 14, 2014
India's fossil fuel import dependency rose to 38% in 2012, despite having significant fossil fuel resources. India ranked as the fourth-largest energy consumer in the world in 2011, following China, the United States, and Russia. The country's energy demand continues to climb as a result of its dynamic economic growth and modernization. India is the third-largest economy on a purchasing power parity basis and has the world's second-largest population.
Steam coal imports remain down sharply from historic high in 2007
Aug 13, 2014
Steam coal imports at electric power plants have fallen significantly from their peak level of more than 30 million tons in 2007 to less than 7 million in 2013. The number of plants using imported coal similarly fell from a peak of 48 in 2006 to 13 in 2013. Preliminary data for the first five months of 2014 indicate an increase in both imports and the number of plants taking imports, but both are still well below 2007 levels.
Short-Term Energy Outlook - Market Prices and Uncertainty Report
Aug 12, 2014
International crude oil prices, which reached their highest point of the year in June, fell to their lowest levels of the year in early August. The North Sea Brent front month futures price settled at $105.44/barrel on August 7, a decrease of $6.85/barrel from July 1.
Short-Term Energy Outlook

Metal-based durables manufacturers are fueled by electricity and natural gas
Aug 1, 2014
Unlike many manufacturing industries, the energy used for the production of metal based durables (MBD) is mostly electricity and natural gas, rather than other fossil fuels (residual fuel oil, diesel, LPG/NGL, and coal) or renewable sources. MBD producers are therefore well-positioned to benefit from energy efficiency programs and the increased availability and lower cost of natural gas.

|The Solfeggio Collection
|Pineal Gland Activator 936 Hz
|528 Hz Golden Om Fractal
|Associating with Wholeness - 528 Hz Healing Session
Hi Cyndi,
congratulations on your beautiful new web site, easy to navigate and easy on the eye. I purchased the Solfeggio Harmonics and have been listening to it before going to sleep for just over a week. The first experience was extremely blissful, which lasted into the whole next day. It was truly intense.
Hasn't been quite that good since, however I'm becoming more aware of "memories to let go of''
They just surface, I acknowledge them, and it's all good. Thanks so much.
Barb x
Good stuff!!! Having experienced the miracle of the Solfeggio musical scale through tuning forks, it was great to find another way to be exposed to the healing frequencies!Author: Rod
I've been using this to meditate and am truly impressed by the quality of the sound.
Great product. Can highly recommend it.
I've been listening to BWE programs for several years. The first time I listened to Solfeggio Harmonics I became extremely light-headed. I thought WOW, this is powerful. I listen while I work and I feel wonderful. Thank you so much for this amazing technology.Author: Denise
Hello Cindy, Iain and Phil,
These are not only great peaces to listen to, they really make you FEEL the Energy circulating inside you, powering you up and soothing at the same time. Like all other recordings I've purchased from you, THEY REALLY MOVE YOU AND THEY WORK!!! Congratulations to your new internet appearance. Equally as beautiful and powerful as the music one can find here! Keep the good work going on!
This is a great album - my favourite track is Numinous Accord, one of the longer tracks (9.5minutes). The music is beautifully put together and very powerful. I would recommend this to anyone, especially those who have just discovered the ancient Solfeggio sounds as it is an excellent introduction.Author: Catherine
The first time I listened to these tracks right before falling asleep, I had such vivid dreams about what I needed the most at that time and it gave me much further clarity. It definitely improves my intuition and awareness. One of my favorite tracks!Author: Zurina
The Solfeggio harmonics are a superb piece of craetion. It has been years since I have had 10 hours of Continuous quality sleep and that was after listening to the Numinous Accord. Really Impressive!Author: JC
The songs on this MP3 are some of the most beatiful musical arrangments I ever heard. It is worth buying for that reason alone. I have been having trouble falling asleep. However when I play the " Liberation from Fear " track before my other sleep programs I notice I have an easier time falling asleep. I also notice that my dreams are more lucid and I can remember tham better. It is one of my most favorite MP3's.Author: Kenneth Murray
I admit to being just a litle sceptical at first, but this recording completely changed my perspective. The relaxation was simply astounding - I have never quite felt that before - and as the recording played I could clearly feel the varying altered states of mind as the frequencies progrssed. It was profound, enlightening and quite incredible. I will be using this regularly and would highly recommend this recording to anyone.Author: Robert
This series has created a true deepening sense of relaxation, clarity and insight more quickly than I have achieved in performing meditation techniques alone.Author: Josephine
While listening to the Solfeggio Harmonics for the first time, I had a remarkable experience during the 741 Hz frequency. For the first time in a long while I felt "connected". I felt as part of the universe, so peacefull, calm and vast, as if my consciuosness was expanding. It was a bit like flying through space looking out of the window of a spaceship. Afterwards i was curious about the title of this frequency. It was/is "Consciousness Expanding". Wow!Author: Maximilian
Magnificent product! As an HSP (highly sensitive person) I could actually feel changes happening in my mind as I listened to all nine tracks. Worth every penny and then some!Author: William Bruce
VERY RELAXING AND ENJOYABLE TO LISTEN TO WHEN I FEEL STRESSED.Author: CATHERINE BARBIETO
I recently purchased this album and I'm very enthused about it. My wife and I have listened to it frequently since purchase and very uplifting. The harmonics are uplifting and never seem repetitious!Author: Clarence Schlag
I've purchased several products from you and love them all. I particularly enjoy Solfeggio Harmonics. Each track takes me deeper into a meditative state. Thank you.Author: Laura
I got this at t time to hopefully help our long time friend with cancer although she passed, i think that this tape helped her she was much more restful and at peace when she was listening to it.Author: lee
The tracks were very nice and soothing! It felt very different when I heard it the first time and I am looking forward to get more results from them.Author: Lokenath Sen
I purchased the Solfeggio Harmonics 7 days ago and have listened to them everynight before going to sleep. Since listening to these tracks I have had undisturbed sleep for 7-8 hours per night. Also I have noticed that my usual worries which are mainly about running my business are not as intense and I am feeling very relaxed and am able to think more clearly.Author: Janine Canning
this music is amazing, wonderful, profound. i truly look forward to engaging with it, it is a beautiful experience. i congratulate the composers and thank you for making it available.Author: sara
MUST have it!!! This product is a GEM! Clearing up blockages. Since i used this, i am able to channeling much clearer and ideas are flowing into my head. This company and they products are a MIRACLE maker. I can say without any hesitation. Thank you and blessings!Author: Gerard
This album brings a stillness to my being. It speaks to my whole self. I have only been listening for a short time and yet it moved me into a place of harmony from the first time I listened to it. I am looking forward to listening to it each day to see what treasures I find within myself. Thank you.Author: Dolly
All I can say is; WOW!!! As I was listening to it, At one point I actually started laughing because I felt sooo happy. By the time the album finished, I had a smile on my face, literally, and I felt very peaceful. I slept like a rock and woke up ready for the day - that was with just 6 hours sleep and no alarm clock. Another thing I noticed; I went grocery shopping and there were several (4-5) people that smiled at me and said hello. That's something they don't do too often around here.Author: Alejandrina
I have only just downloaded the mp3's and am planning on taking them on holiday for the last week of January,
This is a hauntingly beautiful recording that produces effects on multiple levels. It conveys a celestial quality and produces energetic shifts emotionally and mentally. I highly recommend it!Author: Nina Lockwood
Beautiful and relaxing, so easy to listen to.Author: Renee
just downloaded it a few days ago and have been listening to them as often as i can. ive been sleeping better and my high blood pressure has dropped 10 points. im interested to see what else changes after a few weeks.Author: jaime
iAuthor: kIM
I love the Solfeggio Harmonics MP3. I listen just before going to sleep, and I have found that I sleep through the night and wake up well rested. I believe the harmonics really do help to keep one in a more relaxed and calm state of being.Author: Linda
After listening to Solfeggio Harmonics I felt at peace and clear headed. I also liked the free Dreaming programs I recieved with it. I happened to have had a very lucky day after listening to it before bed. I look forward to going to bed now And find that I seem to sleep better through the night. I find listening to the tapes a healthy way to relive stress. The sounds seem to remove alot of the senseless chatter in my mind allowing my body to relax. It also seems to clear my sinus passages .Author: peggy
have been listening to this recording the last few evenings before retiring for the night & have been listening to Deep Delta about 2 hrs prior...I can feel changes throughout my body, a new depth of sleep & a change to my days that I just can't put into words just yet, odd for me as never caught short of a word...all good, many thanksAuthor: Colin

I am new to all this so I don't exactly know how to describe what I feel while listening to these amazing recordings. I just have faith that they are doing exactly what they have been created to do.Author: Erin
Since purchasing this product, I have listened to it at least once a day and i can already tell a noticable difference in the way I view, think and rationalize things..even the way I analyze things now... Great product . I will be purchasing more items at first chance...I am now more assertive in my job and actions as well...Thanks a bunch for everything you provide...Author: D. Dixon
This is wonderful - I have listened to the album every night on going to bed and it gives me a profound sense of peace and deep relaxation.

It is truly a wonderful experience and I urge others to experience this too. Thankyou so much.Author: Perri Bewsey

very easy to listen to very relaxing I listen to this everyday to reap the benifitsAuthor: betty
Dear Cyndi -
thank you so much for your incredible help. I am walking through a very difficult time. Having worked as a healer for a very long time I am shocked to understand how much I gave away, not protecting myself enough. Since months I had terrible panic attacks which I didn´t take serious. Right now I am forced to learn how to nourish myself again before I can nourish and help others. Your music helps me tremendously building up protection. I know you understand. Love Gabrielle
very powerful stuffAuthor: siobhan
I love the Solfeggio tracks, so deep and peaceful... can really make shifts in your conscious state, so best not to use while driving...Author: Linda Lang
I enjoyed the tracks very relaxing and quite
enlightening. Felt great while listening and continued to feel that way long after listening
to the tracks was over.
This is an amazing package!! I am listening to it at night and in my home. I am experiencing transformational energies and DNA upgrades. You will love it!!Author: Jane Zuckerman
Love itAuthor: bs
I had a really emotionally rough morning earlier in the week. I got out my iPod and plugged in my ear-buds and listened, really listened, to this album. I felt SO much better afterwards that I set the album to repeat and went to run my errands wearing the ear-buds, something I have NEVER done before.
Thank you very, very much for this beautiful work.
This collection of nine frequencies is ideal for quickly restoring calm and focus. By listening to one during lunch or break, made me feel more strong and centred.Author: Frank Nagler
I bought this music & "Heartbeat of Gaia" few days ago and started listening right away. I love the music and the feeling I experienced after listening to the music. My body feels energized and full of energy and I really feel the chakra energy is awakened. Not to mention that the tune is simply beautiful. Thank you for the great product :)Author: Yuri
Thank you.
It's been only a few days since I have purchased this Mp3 and been listening to it once a day.
Yes, I have notice some shift in a very good and positive way.
If this could happen in only a few days, what will it do in a few weeks and months.
Go for it beautiful people, it will help ease your journey.
Many blessings to everyone.
I love you all
