Halloween is tomorrow night and your kids may be going trick-or-treating. Bret and Rachel spoke with Lt. Catherine Buckley of the Colorado Springs Police Department Thursday morning. She gave us some great safety tips for parents. Hope they help:)
- Know your neighbors and your neighborhood.
- Put a piece of reflective tape, light up pin, or glow stick on your child's costume so they are visible at night.
- If your child is wearing a mask or a hood as part of their costume, make sure they can see when crossing streets.
- Clear your yard of debris and furniture so kids don't trip when running to your door for candy.
- Make sure your child's costume is fire-resistant. Lt. Buckley said this is important because kids will be walking by a lot of pumpkins
lit with candles.
- When you child returns home with their candy, sort through it and throw away anything that looks "suspicious."
- Since Halloween falls on a Friday this year, and we have not turned the clocks back, kids are going to be out much later. Buckley
reminded drivers to slow down and watch out for the little ones running around the neighborhoods.
- Send a cell phone with your teen so they can call you if they get lost or have an emergency.
- For groups of little kids, Buckley said a parent should always be present while trick-or-treating.

Rachel just turned 30 a few months ago and is quickly realizing she's "old." She has admitted to going to bed at 8:30 on a Friday night, avoiding stores with loud music, and getting excited about buying a new vacuum. So we decided to dig up a list of things that happen to adults after 30! Enjoy! From msnliving.com
- Binge watching TV on a Friday or Saturday night sounds like more fun than going to a party.
- Stores with loud music and long lines make you crazy.
- You won't have vacations anymore, but rather weddings and family reunions to go to.
- Doing work you like with people you like will be more important than earning and growth potential.
- If you're still single, you'll re-think some of those deal-breakers that were so important in your 20's.
- Weight will get harder and harder to maintain.
- You will no longer obsess or even really think about whether so-and-so likes you or not, because 'ain't no one got
time for that.'
- You'll join and quit a gym approximately seven times.
- Daytime parties will be full of kids, and you'll probably be called 'aunt' or 'uncle' by several of them, regardless of
whether you're actually related.
- No one will have real parties anymore, and when they do you'll take a lot of pictures for social media.
- One of the best and most exciting purchases will be your new mattress, washing machine, dishwasher...etc.
- Every once in awhile you'll think about how much student loan debt you still have to pay off, and you might cry.
- One of your friends will get divorced.
- Someone you went to high school with will become a grandparent.
- If you're single, you'll date someone with a kid or kids.
- You'll spend 60% of your life at the doctor's office with your kids.

Did you go to a Disney park this summer? Planning a trip to one? Here are a few fun Disney facts Bret and Rachel talked about on the morning show! From FOXNews.com
- Main Street USA is designed with all the food shops on the right for those wanting breakfast as they enter, and the souvenir
shops are on guests' right as they leave.
- Main street USA looks much longer than it actually is thanks to the 'forced perspective' of Cinderella's Castle.
- There are Mickey Mouse heads hidden all over the park.
- There is a basketball court in a crew section at the top of Space Mountain, and certain sections have their own signature scents,
for example Norway at Epcot smells like 'airy mountains.'
- Coins thrown into the water at It's a Small World are donated to the Give Kids the World.
- None of the shops sell gum, which is why guests usually don't see gum on the pavement.
- Nearly 3 million churros are sold every year at Disneyland.
- The Enchanted Tiki Room was originally intended to be a restaurant. Would you eat there?
- When you stand in line for the Dinosaur Ride at Animal Kingdom look up and you will see pipes containing the formulas for
ketchup, mustard and mayo!

As we continue to celebrate the Easter Season, and Earth Day, now is a good time to talk to our kids about giving back. Below are some ways to teach your kids to give back! (Per "MomItForward.com")
- Instill a sense of gratitude
Share things you are grateful for, and encourage your kids to do the same on a daily basis
- Teach kids to be gracious
Remind them it is 'the spirit of giving' that matters most, not the gift
- Make it a family affair
As Bret says "it's about show and tell"
- Turn a passion into an action
There are countless ways to give back, so find something that interests your child
For example if they love animals, have them volunteer at the local shelter
- Remember the intangibles
Time and caring are just as valuable as monetary gifts

Rachel's son is turning 3 in a month and she does not want to break the bank on a venue, cake, decorations and party favors! Here are some tips for planning a budget conscious-party from "About.com."
1.) Do it Yourself:
- Make your own cake and decorations
- Use social media sites for inspiration
2.) Go Generic:
- Products with licensed characters on them usually cost more than generic ones
- If you are going with a Mickey Mouse theme, buy the plates and then go with red cups, napkins and silverware
3.) Reuse and Repurpose:
- Buy party supplies you can reuse down the road, a timeless design
- Instead of wrapping paper use newspaper comic strips
4.) Food for Thought:
- Don't hold party at 5 or 6 p.m if you only want to serve cake and ice cream
- Have the party at 2 or 3 p.m. and call it a "dessert party"on invitations
- Buy 2 liter bottles of soda or juice and disposable cups
5.) Prioritize:
- Ask yourself if you really need x, y or z?
- Consider eliminating party favors
- Have a joint birthday party with another child whose birthday is around the same time
6.) Other Quick Tips:
- Host the party at home or in a public park rather than at an event facility
- Keep the numbe of guests to a minimum
- Buy food in bulk and cut fruits and veggies yourself
- Send email invitations or make your own
- Keep things in perspective
Wednesday, March 5, 2014:
It's no secret, finances can be difficult, especially setting a budget.
Below are some tips from Bank of America to help you and your spouse navigate money matters.
1.) Be honest about your goals, and supportive of your partner's.
- Don't criticize your partner
2.) Create a household budget (sometimes easier said than done).
- Discuss your progress
- Discuss unexpected expenses
- Consider a joint checking account
3.) Take allowances or keep individual credit cards.
- Try setting aside monthly allowances that each of you can spend as you please
- Keeping a credit card in your own name will allow you to continue to build your individual credit
4.) Decide which accounts to merge.
- Some couples do not want to give up their individual checking accounts, and experts say that's fine
- Instead set up a linked account to help cover shared expenses
5.) Decide if you need additional accounts.
- Open a savings account as a way to save for shared goals
- Set up automatic deposits from your checking account into your savings account every month
- Can be used as an emergency fund as well
Our listeners also shared some great tips for financial success:
1.) Sit down as a couple each month and discuss the budget, and what is being spent.
2.) Save your change! Gather up loose change daily or weekly and save it in a bucket or bottle. Then, when an
emergency or unexpected expense arises, you have some extra cash.
3.) Take your tax return and deposit it in a savings account. It is a great way to start an emergency fund.
4.) If you get a raise at work, set aside a portion of the extra each month. You won't miss it if you never start spending it.

In conclusion, I believe the Shuttle AS45GTR definitely cleared up all the criticism about the SiS 648 chipset. As I stated earlier, I was extremely disappointed with the P4S8X and its performance and must admit I blamed most of it on the chipset. But the AS45GTR definitely proved me wrong.
The stability on this motherboard was significantly better then that of the Asus. Running the test rig with this motherboard for about a week definitely assured me that it's 100% stable. And performance-wise, it isn't to shabby either. This motherboard isn't as fast as the Intel chipset we compared it to (i845E), but it still stuck with it and only lost by a few points most of the time. Perhaps we can see a performance boost with an updated BIOS?
The extra features make up a bit for the trailing performance. It comes with all the bells and whistles. Things like DDR 400 support, 6 channels sound, Serial ATA/RAID, IEEE 1394 Firewire support etc. This motherboard has all the features you will need (excluding LAN) and brings it to the table at a decent price. It is retailing at about US$121 on Price Watch; definitely a great price.
- Pros
Tons of great features
Good stability
Excellent price
- Cons
No onboard LAN
Rating 8.5/10

Hutton: All-area teams always include tough choices
By Mike Hutton 648-3139 or email@example.com. Twitter:@MikeHuttonPT April 6, 2013 11:28PM
Crown point guard Thoma Bardeson drives the lane in a IHSAA boys sectional game Thursday Feb. 28, 2013 in Michigan City, Ind. |Joe Raymond ~For Sun-Times Media
P-T All-ARea
For the complete Post-Tribune All-Area teams, see pages 42-43
Updated: May 8, 2013 7:09AM
A behind the scenes look at selecting the Post-Tribune All-Area team, and a season ending high school basketball wrap-up.
What was the hardest omission?
Probably leaving Tom Bardeson off the team. He was like the 16th guy.
Bardeson had a phenomenal final game against Michigan City, when he scored 29 points in the Bulldogs' 69-54 loss to the Wolves in sectionals. I really believe the 6-5 senior is a Division I player, but his shooting (38.6) and 3-point percentage were low (32.6).
Here is where it gets doubly difficult. It was low because the Bulldogs just weren't that good this season and he was pretty much the guy. He was double- and triple-teamed and still got his points, yet it just wasn't quite enough for him to be one of the top 15.
Another tough call was leaving Hyron Edwards off the team. Again, East Chicago, relative to expectations, struggled and when I watched Edwards play against West Side, he didn't have a good game. Plus, there were plenty of point guard candidates, from Munster's Mike Schlotman to Andrean's Nick Davidson to Tye Wilburn at Lake Central to Bardeson to Portage's Jordan Collazo, who might just be the most underrated in the area.
How about Coach of the Year?
A staggeringly difficult call to make. There were four great candidates and all of them were worthy.
Carson Cunningham at Andrean, T.J. Lux at Merrillville, Marvin Rea at Bowman and Mike Hackett at Munster. Ultimately, I chose Hackett, because, relative to expectations, the Mustangs performed better than any team in the area over the course of a season. I had the Mustangs ranked second in the area to start the year but they easily could've been third or fourth, with Andrean and Merrillville starting ahead of them.
The fact that they went undefeated during the regular season for the second time in three years, beating teams like Merrillville, was a deciding factor. Andrean and Penn on the road, was the "wow" factor that separated Munster from the other three teams, which all had great seasons. Lux was just as good. Bowman pretty much did what everyone expected the Eagles to do and if Andrean wins at semistate, the call would've been different.
Who are your top five?
Ok, this is where I get to be totally ridiculous.
If I get to take my five to the YMCA tomorrow, I go with Merrillville's B.J. Jenkins, Bowman's Davon Dillard and Justin King, Davidson and Lake Central's Tyler Wideman.
Jenkins, because he can shoot from anywhere and beat just about anyone off his first step. Dillard, because he's the most physically gifted player of the bunch. King, because he has a nasty streak, in a good way, that allows him to take control of games. Davidson, because he's big and strong and does lots of stuff well. And Wideman, because he's the one inside player that other teams have to gameplan against most. We'd be tough to beat.
Who played his way
onto to the team?
Definitely John Mosser of Valparaiso and Skyler Moss of Andrean. All of them played their way into the top 15, but Mosser was outside of it to start the season and Moss was definitely on the radar, but not a sure thing. Mosser's final game, when he dropped 22 against Merrillville in an overtime loss in the sectional championship, was big. Moss was really consistent this year after dropping some weight and getting into good shape for the 59ers.
Who are your top five
teams for next year?
Bowman, Munster, Bishop Noll, West Side and Lake Central.
Bowman, with Dillard and King returning, will be one of the best Class 3A teams in state. Munster has Drew Hackett and Luke Wuchenich returning, along with a loaded junior varsity and freshman team. Noll gets Larry Crisler and Tyreon Gates back, while West Side has Arnold Wilson returning. Tyler Wideman and Tye Wilburn return to lead Lake Central.

As Lovelanders make plans to celebrate the July Fourth holiday weekend, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) offers several tips for ensuring a healthy, safe celebration by taking a few precautions regarding fireworks, food-borne and water-borne illnesses, mosquitoes and measles.
"If you're planning to go to a fireworks display, a cookout, a swimming party, camping or traveling, there are some simple precautions you can take to help keep your family healthy and safe," said ODH State Epidemiologist Dr. Mary DiOrio.
- Ohio law permits the use of sparklers and other types of novelties. Sparklers can burn at more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit and should be used with caution.
- Cook food to the right temperature.
- Refrigerate uneaten food promptly.
- Wash/rinse fruits and vegetables unless you can peel them yourself.
- Drink beverages that are bottled and have a seal that is unbroken.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Bugs (including mosquitoes, ticks and some flies) can spread a number of diseases. Use insect repellent.
- Shower with soap before and after you swim.
- Ohio's continuing measles outbreak is the largest in the U.S. since 1994. Parents with infants too young to be vaccinated with the mumps-measles-rubella (MMR) vaccine should consider not traveling with them to areas where measles outbreaks are occurring. Contracting measles is especially serious for infants younger than one year of age.

The Seaweed Farms of Jambiani
Bright violent sunlight streams from a nearly cloudless, blue sky striking the soft wet sands of the early morning Swahili Coast. Wooden dhows rest motionlessly atop of tiny pools waiting for the ocean's water to roll back in, waiting to bob and weave while in pursuit of fish with their fishermen friends again. Cloaked in vibrant khanga cloth, the women of the village move away from their jagged coral, shell, and concrete constructed abodes. -

Makes about 3 cups, enough for 1 pound pasta
- olive oil for brushing pans
- 1 head garlic
- 4 pounds vine-ripened red tomatoes (about 10 medium)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice, or to taste
Preheat oven to 450°F. and lightly brush 2 shallow baking pans with oil.
Separate garlic head into cloves, discarding loose papery outer skin but keeping skin intact on cloves, and wrap in foil, crimping seams to seal tightly. Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange in one layer in baking pans. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons each of rosemary and thyme evenly over tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
Put foil-wrapped garlic in one of baking pans with tomatoes and roast garlic and tomatoes in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of pans halfway through roasting, about 35 minutes total, or until garlic is tender and tomatoes are slightly charred. Unwrap garlic and cool slightly. Peel skins from each clove and force pulp with warm tomatoes and herbs through a food mill fitted with small disk into a bowl.
Finely chop remaining teaspoon rosemary and remaining teaspoon thyme and stir into sauce with orange juice. Season sauce with salt and pepper and reheat if necessary. Sauce keeps, covered and chilled, 4 days or, frozen, 4 months. Reheat sauce over low heat and reseason with orange juice, salt, and pepper.

Nice, and if you are into zombie killers, I'd check out that dead island. I bought it for my ps3, when my xbox was down, and i played it for about 3 months straight. I'd say gta5 but i remember, you said you went and bought it at the midnight release. I haven't been gaming much lately, just dealing with school, friends, my girl, and FunnyJunk.

Funny, I'm a Redneck From *Oklahoma and I'm more feeble minded than you? Not that Grammar is connected to it, but mine certainly seems a bit better. What I mean by "feeble minded" is you're a pathetic shut-in with a life of worthlessness. You come to the Internet to feel important. I haven't even met you and i have you figured out. Your life is surrounded by the internet. So you can feel like you're more than nothing. Am i right?

I've been accepted into ICTC of my town for the Automotive repair-collision class, I've been awarded by the state countless times for academics, my school itself is an Alternative program, but has been awarded National School of Character. The first Alternative program to have received such an award in the Country, and i helped make it happen. I've had Air force Recruiters come and talk to me about being an AP mechanic. Which if you don't know, isn't just like working on some rust bucket in a garage. Even though Military service isn't in my future. I have a loving woman in my life that has helped me achieve all that i have. You want my height and weight too, while I'm at it?

I found this brewing software (apologies to anyone that has already found it, and I'm sure there are many) called Brewtarget. It is open source, and no cost. It is not stripped down software, however. Not only is it available for Windows, Macs, and Linux (32 bit), but it lets you define the equipment you use. You setup the sizes of your mash tun, boil kettle, and everything. Then you create recipes like you would do in BrewBuilder or Beersmith. My favorite feature is called Brewday Mode. When you click this, it asks you if you want it to create instructions. Then, it gives you a list of every step, complete with a timer if you want. Set the timer for 3600 seconds, and it counts down from 1 hour so everything is exact. When a step is complete, you tick a box, and you know it has been done. No more missing a hop addition, or forgetting when you started boiling. There is an audible alarm to help you. If you haven't seen it, you got to give it a look.Brewtarget

31 Perfect August Outfits
Digital Fashion Writer
August isn't the most straightforward month. It's got both the pressure to wear those stereotypically summery things while you still can and the itch to get all back-to-school with the new fall stuff creeping into stores. It's confusing—but also liberating, if you play it right. On hot days you can still dress in white jeans and strappy sandals like it's a Memorial Day barbecue, but on cooler evenings you won't look out of place in a little cardigan and maybe even something plaid. Odds are your best friend couldn't wait to break out her new fall swag either.
You have so many options (too many?), so for a template of where to start getting dressed in the morning (or at night), we've rounded up some particularly great outfits from our favorite celebrities, street style stars and our very own Community members. Whether fail-safe or creative, each one's an inspiring look. Click through to see all 31 of them, one for every day of the month.

Al Feldstein is best known as the main writer/editor of the EC comics line during the first half of the 1950s�and then the editor of Mad Magazine for the first three decades of its existence. But what many don�t know or remember is that Feldstein was also an accomplished and distinctive cartoonist, whose comics (which he both wrote and drew, a relative rarity in those days) adorned the pages of many of those self same EC comics. His powerfully composed, meticulously inked pages, often featuring grotesque creatures or scenes of ghastly destruction (and some of the greatest stiffly handsome/beautiful specimens of 1950s humanity ever put to paper), were a vital part of the allure of these classic comics. Feldstein�s contributions to the first year and a half of EC�s two SF titles, Weird Science and Weird Fantasy�comprising 16 classic O. Henry-style shock-ending stories with such evocative, vintage title as ��Things� From Outer Space.� �The Flying Saucer Invasion,� �Spawn of Venus,� �Destruction of the Earth,� and �Am I Man or Machine?��will be collected in their integrity in this volume, which will also boast a new interview with Feldstein about his years at EC, focusing in particular in his work on these science fiction titles that were the company�s pride and joy (and were killed a few years later by the Comics Code).

Every great artist needs a source of inspiration.
For Monet, it came from the simple, quiet beauty of still water in a lily pond.
And for the artists displaying their works at Stoddard's tomorrow night, it comes from other sources of exquisite beauty: bacon and beer.
Of course, if Monet showed up to a 19th-century Paris art show with paintings of PBRs and scrapple, we might all have majored in Art History.
But he didn't, so it's up to the geniuses behind the Bacon & Beer Festival and Super Precious Art Gallery to create this swine-and-suds themed pop-up exhibition.
This year's theme is a tribute to the backyard BBQ, so don't worry if you spot a little ketchup splashed on the canvas. That's by design.
And unlike inside a stuffy art museum, eating and drinking is definitely encouraged. Because you don't truly appreciate the finer nuances of bacon and beer art until you have a complimentary appetizer and a bacon vodka Bloody Mary ($3) or a Naragansett Bock ($1) in your hand.
Trust us, we've done plenty of research.

Pan-Seared Rib Eye SteakAbsolutely awesome. Instead of shallots I used garlic and onion in the sauce. It came out perfectly medium rare. — sgrishka 4/21/2011 |
Cola ChickenDefinitely a simple and delicious way to make chicken. I used pepsi 0 which came out fine. Regular coke would have been better but the dish isn't exactly healthy and I didn't want to make it worse. It tasted very good, next time im gna try 1/2 fat free bbq sauce with 1/2 ketchup.

Stretch Marks
There are more than a few myths regarding stretch marks. They can happen to both women and men at any age. Stretch marks can appear anyplace on the body. There are many reasons stretch marks can appear, from physical changes to changes in diet or eating habits to environmental reasons. And for as many causes there are for stretch mark, there are as many treatments to reduce them.
Stretch marks happen when the skin loses its collagen and elasticity. When skin's elasticity disappears, the skin is unable to return to its normal condition. When skin is stretched to that point, collagen becomes damaged also, which causes the change in the look of the stretch mark skin. There are a lot of things a person can do to avoid the growth of stretch marks on their body. Some ways involve a healthy lifestyle, other ways are by seeing a medical professional on a regular basis.
For most people, stretch marks are inevitable. With correct care and defensive measures taken, you can diminish the number and harshness of them. Feel secure again by adhering to these methods to decrease your stretch marks today!
Lifestyle Changes
There are many steps you can take in your daily life to avoid the possibility of getting stretch marks.
Keep Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water and fluids maintains not only your body health, but your skin health too. Water keeps your skin firm and the collagen healthy and strong. When collagen is strong it makes the skin elastic, which means that stretch marks won't form. Water also flushes the toxins out of your body which also pushes toxins out of your skin.
Keep Skin Healthy
Clean your face at least once a day. This is particularly important before you go to sleep if you wear makeup. Removing makeup opens up pores and allows your skin to breathe. Skin needs air to keep growing and creating new cells. The new cells keep your skin soft, smooth and free of stretch marks.
Cocoa Butter can help because it refills dry skin with moisture. Follow the product directions or smooth on your tummy once a day, covering it completely. This is particularly important when you are at the second and third trimesters of your pregnancy. You will be able to use cocoa butter on any dry, flaky skin with wonderful results for replenishing it with moisture.
Quit Smoking
Smoking daily is destructive for many reasons. The smoke and products you exhale with the smoke hurts the elastin of the skin. Day after day continued exposure only hurts the elastin more. Stretch marks and wrinkles can appear on the face, the neck, legs, arms, and entire body of a smoker.
Another new trend in combating stretch marks is through hypnosis. Trained doctors in the weight loss field believe that hypnosis can also manage your body's reaction to something. For instance, they have a session in which they tell you your body is in good physical shape, your skin is glowing, and you look wonderful, and do not have stretch marks. If your mind thinks that, then your body will follow in the same manner. They trust the mind can alter or have an effect on the way you look. They influence your mind for your benefit.
Use Sunscreen
Sunscreen is a defensive measure in the war against stretch marks. Whenever you go out into the sun, cover your skin well with a high SPF sunscreen. The sun dries out not only the top layers of skin, but the underside layers as well. When the lower layers of sky dehydrate, the collagen also dries up. When collagen dries up, the skin is easier to damage. Stretch marks can happen with little aggravation.
Take Vitamins
No matter how hard we attempt to eat a stable diet, it is in no way quite good enough. To make up for this, make it a habit to take a vitamin every day. The vitamins will assist your skin from the inside out and keep the elastin and collagen healthy and stretch mark free.
One way to avoid stretch marks is to exercise. Exercising keeps your muscles firm, and in the course of keeping your muscles firm can help your skin to stay firm also.

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 Bosley -ADOPTED!
Facts about Bosley -ADOPTED
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Orange Or Red
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
Bosley -ADOPTED's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This is Bosley! Sabrina, Jill, Kelly & Bosley were found at the dump in Ahmic Harbour at just a couple weeks old. Infested with fleas, three of the babies perished before they were rescued. Our team has nursed the remaining kittens back to health. They are only 7 weeks old right now but they will be available for adoption at 8 weeks. Housetrained, being fostered with cats, dogs, and socialized with kids. Get your application in now! Contact Muskoka Rescue at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are interested in adopting, please go to our website at www.mpsiar.com and complete an application under the "Adoptions" section and email it to email@example.com.
Other Pets at Muskoka Animal Rescue Volunteer Group
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bosley -ADOPTED, a Emsdale (Huntsville) Domestic Mediumhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Emsdale (Huntsville), or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair kitten from a breeder in Emsdale (Huntsville).
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Emsdale (Huntsville) 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 Emsdale (Huntsville) 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 Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Emsdale (Huntsville) paves the way for another one to be saved.

Norwood, MA (01/26/2009) - Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance RF ICs for signal-processing applications, today announced the availability of two downloadable software tools that greatly simplify RF systems design. The ADIsimRF™ design tool easily calculates a variety of parameters within an RF system including cascaded gain, noise figure, power consumption, and more. ADIsimPLL™ Version 3.1 development software, a new generation of ADI's popular phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit-design and evaluation tool, assists users in evaluating, designing, and troubleshooting RF systems exploiting Analog Devices' family of PLL synthesizers. Both ADIsimRF and ADIsimPLL Version 3.1 design tools are available from ADI's web site free of charge.
As the industry's only supplier of all major RF-to-digital functional building blocks that extend from antenna to processor, Analog Devices supports its broad RF-IC portfolio with a comprehensive suite of design tools. RF systems design is an extremely complex and time-consuming process, and the company's design tools reduce design risk by making the overall RF-to-digital design practice simpler, faster, more accurate, and more robust.
ADI Adds New Tool to its RF Design-Aid Portfolio -- ADIsimRF
The newest addition to ADI's portfolio of design tools, ADIsimRF furthers the company's commitment to provide RF-system designers with innovative tools that improve performance and help ease development for both wireline and wireless communications equipment. The ADIsimRF design tool provides calculations for the most important parameters within the RF signal chain, including cascaded gain, noise figure, IP3, P1dB, and total power consumption. The calculator can be easily switched between transmit mode and receive mode where calculations and data entry are input referred. Designers can vary the number of stages up to a maximum of 15, and additional stages can be inserted at any point in the signal chain. In addition, designers can temporarily disable individual stages, clear their data, or remove them completely. ADIsimRF also contains embedded data from many of ADI's RF ICs. A designer can easily access this data using pull-down menus, thereby eliminating tedious data entry. The tool also includes device tables to assist in component selection. http://www.analog.com/pr/adisimrf.
ADIsimPLL Version 3.1 Adds Support for Latest Highly-Integrated PLLs and Includes New Simulation Capability for Fractional-N Spurious Estimation
Fully compatible with prior releases, the new ADIsimPLL Version 3.1 design tool eliminates time-consuming iterations from the PLL/synthesizer development process, thus ensuring that products reach the market faster. ADI has optimized its ADF4xxx synthesizers for applications such as wireless base stations, LAN, mobile handsets and PDAs, broadband wireless access, industrial, instrumentation and test equipment, satellite, sonar, and CATV. Analog Devices' ADIsimPLL Version 3.1 design tool offers support for the company's latest PLL synthesizers, including the highly-integrated ADF4350, ADF9010, ADF4360-9, and the ADF4157. In addition, the design tool includes a new simulation capability for fractional-N spurious estimation. This feature provides an initial assessment of the amplitude and offset of fractional-N spurs. It also allows the user to adjust parameters that set the spur amplitude in response to various loop filter selections, enabling RF designers to incorporate their measurements to further refine the effects of spurs within their system. ADIsimPLL version 3.1 offers an enhanced library of components, including new VCO libraries and improvements to existing component libraries. It also features new loop filter topologies and improvements to the chip-selection algorithm and the power-up simulation. http://www.analog.com/pr/adisimpll.
ADI's RF IC Portfolio Covers Entire RF Signal Chain
Using a unique combination of design skills, systems understanding, and process technologies, Analog Devices is the only single-source provider of RF ICs for all major RF-to-digital functional building blocks. Complemented by a full suite of design tools, these RF function blocks include DDS (direct digital synthesizer) devices, PLLs, and TruPwr™ power detectors and logarithmic amplifiers. They also include X-Amp® VGAs (variable gain amplifiers), PAs (power amplifiers), LNAs (low-noise amplifiers) and other RF amplifiers, mixers, and direct-conversion modulator and demodulator products. For more information, visit http://www.analog.com/RF.

Everybody comfortable?
Apparently so, judging from what's on our plates. For more than a decade—since truffle-sprinkled macaroni-and-cheese reared its gooey, toasted head in the trendiest of urban kitchens—Americans have been caught in the narcotizing embrace of old-fashioned comfort food. You'd think we'd have finally grown up and out of the stuff, but it keeps coming back: stronger, more expensive, gooier. Now it's all over your neighborhood bistro, your room-service cart, and your seat-back tray table. We have donned the proverbial sweatpants, people: every day is Thanksgiving, every meal an excuse to "feel good." Pass the chicken pot pie! Save me that piece of lasagne! Let's order more Kobe sliders!
Nobody doesn't like comfort food. It's the perfect balm after a breakup or a tonsilectomy. It's regressive yet satisfying, like chewing a cotton blanket: one bite and you're a kid again. (Think of that poignant scene in last summer's Ratatouille, when the snooty restaurant critic samples the titular dish and is catapulted back to his mother's kitchen.) There's a reason the British call this stuff "nursery food"—meaning bangers-and-mash, beef stew, shepherd's pie. Like mobiles and lullabies, traditional comfort foods are calibrated to make you fall asleep as soon as possible, with generous amounts of fat and refined carbs. They're the indulgent foods we probably shouldn't crave but do—a guilty pleasure, the culinary equivalent of a Knight Rider rerun. They're our silly little reward at the end of a stressful day.
Obviously we're all having exceptionally stressful days, because we're eating like a nation of nine-year-olds. What used to be the province of the coffee shop, the lunchroom, and the infirmary is now behind a velvet rope, selling for $33 a plate. And the national comfort trend shows no sign of slowing—especially when its wholesome, retro appeal can be coupled with the wholesome, retro farm-to-table movement. So instead of mom's fried chicken with mashed potatoes, we can order ale-battered free-range game hen with purée of Edzell Blue potatoes, and somehow feel more pious for it.
The retro-comfort craze takes many forms. There are the countless purveyors of "luxury burgers," inexplicably enamored of Wagyu beef (you might as well use toro tuna for cat food). Or the innumerable upmarket pizza parlors, with their slow-simmered ragùs and biodynamic pepperoni. Or that ultimate retro-comfort bastion, the steak house, which continues its inexorable march across the country, turning our culinary clock back 40 years and turning talented cooks into hucksters of creamed spinach.
Even our most forward-thinking chefs feel compelled to dress down their menus in comfort-food terms. At Cuvée in New Orleans, what Bob Iacovone calls "spaghetti & meatball" is actually spaghetti squash with caper berries, tomato brunoise, and sea scallops. ("Blecch!" cries one's inner kindergartner.) At French Laundry in Napa Valley, Thomas Keller gives his inventions cutesy names like "Surf & Turf," "Peas & Carrots," and "Coffee & Doughnuts," which is the only thing I dislike about Thomas Keller.
And don't get me started on Los Angeles—always the most childish of cities, but now the capital of kid-friendly, id-friendly cuisine. At Simon L.A., in the swank Sofitel hotel, former Iron Chef Kerry Simon dishes up meatloaf, pizza, onion rings, and, yes, mac-and-cheese—the premium denim of the food world—before sending you to your room with a bellyful of Rice Krispies treats, cotton candy, and cookies with milk. Over on West Third Street, the clubby new Food Court L.A. spoils you with lasagne, fish and chips, and "Mom's Spag & Balls." And at the ever-popular Jar, Suzanne Tracht elevates home-style classics like pot roast and chocolate pudding (both of which are admittedly delicious). Back in the 1990's, Tracht worked at Campanile, where then-chef Nancy Silverton was glorifying the grilled cheese sandwich. Campanile's Grilled Cheese Nights still pack the house every Thursday—and that iconic sandwich has since become a citywide obsession. (A dozen variations are on the menu at MeltDOWN Etc., which opened last spring in Culver City.) Silverton, meanwhile, has partnered with Mario Batali on—surprise!—an upmarket pizza parlor, Pizzeria Mozza.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 7D or 5D3 for low light candids?
« on: February 13, 2013, 11:13:47 AM »5DIII + 24-105/4L will deliver noticeably better low-light/high ISO IQ than 7D + 17-55/2.8. For low light candids, I also agree that an f/2.8 or faster lens is the way to go.
Personally, I prefer not to depend on IS in that situation - even if the camera is stable at 1/30 s (IS or tripod), subject motion is a problem, and especially in candids where subjects aren't 'holding still' for the camera (even in posed shots, I prefer at least 1/60 s). On my 1D X, I use a minimum 1/125 s shutter for shooting people - and I let the ISO run up to 12800 with no worries.
+1 neuro. don't depend on IS either. anyway, your 1Dx surely must deliever excellent IQ beyond the 12800. I know for reasonable noisefree nighshots the 5D's limit is at about 5000 or 8000. There was a dude earlier this year who came up with a comparison to the 1Dx.
Two questions for neuro:
1) Did you take an ISO 204800 or 102400 photograph? I tried one at 102400, exposing well to the right (not a very dark room) and outcome was pretty well although it required quite some NR to make it look right.
102k no NR

102k NR
Z96A0008aBWUsMaNR ISO102400 by Peter Hauri, on Flickr
2)What do you think can be expected from a 5DIV or 5DV (whatever they may call it) at hopefully about the same MP with an improved sensor design as the rumors are floating around? Will we see 51K or 102K IQ compared to what is now 25k IQ for the 5D series? Or let's say, will IQ at 102k improve at least half a stop or a as up to a whole stop in RAW until 2015 or 18? Thanks for your assessment on this according to your profound technical knowledge...

As I was approaching 40 I started to notice issues with my prostate as I had to urinate more and became painful at times aside from the equally depressing drop in testosterone. On a search for a natural way to combat this problem I read some great customer testimonials on Super Beta Prostate. After taking this supplement for weeks I started to notice that I had better sleep and even my issues in the bedroom seemed to dramatically improve. With the combination of zinc, saw palmetto, beta sitosterols, Molybdenum, Vitamin D and anti-oxidants, Super Beta Prostate works to improve mens health in so many ways. I've never felt better and I feel like the clocks been turned back thanks to this amazing supplement....Read Full Review

I heard about these supplements over the radio and had to give them a try. I've been happy with the results from taking the Super Beta Prostate capsules. I've been suffering from erectile dysfunction for almost 10 years now and I've had to use medication just to have sex and since taking this all natural supplement I haven't had to depend on them anymore. I feel like I have my prostate back and I'm young again. I can also sleep soundly at night time without any early morning trips to the washroom. I couldn't recommend Super Beta Prostate more especially if you're over the age of 40 and your testosterone levels have dropped....Read Full Review

I bought Super Beta Prostate after it was recommended to me by a friend of mine who had prostate cancer otherwise I would never have bought this product since I usually don't pay much attention to homeopathic products that are advertised on television. The first week of using it I wasn't sure if it was working and I was still waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and I started to question whether it was working or not. After a couple weeks I noticed that I didn't get up as much and started to notice a difference. Super Beta Prostate has been a popular products from the reviews I've read on various websites and although I'm not as happy about this product as some customers that have purchased it I will still continue to buy it since it did offer a noticeable improvement and it was worth the money....Read Full Review

Since I started taking the Super Beta Prostate 30 days ago I've had more improved urinary function and take less trips to the bathroom. I can finally get a good nights sleep instead of being woken up to go pee as this supplement has made a noticeable difference in helping my urinary flow. My PSA have dropped since the last time I got my prostate checked by my doctor. This stuff undeniably will help your prostate and this is one product that I'll definitely get behind. I've dealt with prostate issues since my forties and now it's completely gone and I feel so much more healthier these days....Read Full Review

I'm in my mid fifties and I was heading to the bathroom at least three times per night and thought it was totally normal and that's just how my bladder was. Since I started taking Super Beta Prostate which funny enough is a prostate supplement advertised by Hulk Hogan actually did wonders for me. It doesn't have any side effects that I've noticed and reduces my urge to go do my business as often as I did before. I probably wouldn't want to openly talk about this product in person since it's kind of embarrassing but since I can keep anonymous online I couldn't recommend it any more. Just give Super Beta Prostate a try and I'm sure you'll be satisfied and so will your wife....Read Full Review
