Comment:Bought this impact wrench to work on Transmission Towers in Australia, having already bought over 20 milwaukee Impact wrenches and the problems incurred with the 3/4" anvil. This tool has more torque, but less battery life than the 3amp milwaukee. Would like to try a 4amp battery with the Ingersol Rand. Also the price of this unit in Australia is scandalous.AJBrisbane

Comment:I didn't know this product was that good. I read many reviews and were told by many mechanics it will be the last impact you will ever buy. Of course, I was skeptical about how well it would perform. So, to me, I took the risk, and purchased the product. Wow! Its the best impact that I ever used. Far better than any of the other brands out there; including HILT. Just wished it came in two sizes smaller. It is hard to get the correct position to get a crank bolt loose, especially when the core support (where the radiator sits) is one piece. With this outstanding experience, I am planning to purchase the standard cordless 1/2" impact and the 3/8" impact kit in the future. Also other cordless devices that will suit my needs and the impact socket set is tempting too. I also like other features on the device such as the led indicator lights on the battery to tell you how much juice is left, the push button release of the battery, and the grip which feels very comfortable in my hands. I recommend this impact to any one that works on cars/trucks as a hobbie. Its a cheaper solution than purchasing a compressor and air tools. Still a fan and will get them at a later time.BeginnerSan Jose

Worth every penny!
Comment:I was in the process of buying a ***p *n 1/2" cordless gun and the jobber jerked me around and never got it for me. I called his corporate office and that was a waist of time. Then I went on Google and found this 1/2" drive impact cordless gun (IRW7150-K2) and watched the videos with IR against ***p *n. I was very impressed with the video. Then I went to an IR jobber here in Houston, Tx. and this gun was kind of pricey. I went back on line and found Factory Authorized Outlet and their price was way less and with the free shipping and only 4 days to have it delivered, it was worth every penny. The "PRO" of this 1/2" impact, I have not found anything that I have used it on "NOT" remove any nut or bolt from a 3/8" to 1 1/2" socket. One battery usually last me all week on one charge. The "CON", like I have read in everybody's review, it is a little on the HEAVY side. However with the power it has, the PRO outweighs the CON. I am a heavy duty wrecker driver and I use this tool everyday. Now I can kick myself in the rear end for not purchasing this tool sooner. By not having to drag out an air hose, this 20V cordless impact has speeded up my work time and job performance.J.R.Houston, Texas

Flawless Performance!!!
Comment:I bought two of these units to break down and remove a 15in gauge railroad that had been sitting in the ground, in the Northern California mountains unused for over 30 years! We removed over 1500ft of track that was mostly buried in the ground and used the guns to remove the splice plates on each rail junction(over 600+ plates). Each of these guns performed perfectly! The power of these guns is incredible and the batteries last a very long time and with one battery on the charger I was never without a fully charged battery. The bolts we removed ranged from 3/8 - 3/4in bolts and nuts. Most of which we were able to twist off with the 780ft of torque these guns provided. All in all this product is first rate. I've recommended this impact to everyone I know!MTNCourtland, CA

text: Otis Williams -Biography My life story? Well, 43 of my 65 years have been spent as baritone/second tenor for The Temptations so The Temptations are a huge part of my life. What a ride it's been, as a founding member a legendary group that is currently in its 5th decade of recording and performing. Otis Williams, BT (Before Temptations) The start of my life was simple but loving. I was born October 30, 1941 to Hazel Louise Williams and Otis Miles in Texarkana, Texas. As my parents were not married, and Hazel was only a girl of 16 when I was born, I was raised by my paternal Grandmother Gooden, with plenty of involvement by my maternal Grandmother Lucinda Eliga. In 1951, Hazel brought me to Detroit, Michigan to live with her and her husband Edgar Little. I grew up with a younger half-brother Allan and half-sister Denise. I occupied myself with things important to 10 year olds: comic books, sports, toys and riding my red and white J.C. Higgins bike. The other force in my life was music. The music scene in Detroit was exploding with doo-wop groups on every corner and I spent countless hours watching the likes of Lavern Baker, Royal Jokers, Chuck Berry, the Nightcaps, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers appearing at the Fox Theatre. But it was watching the Cadillacs in their loose light suits and stepping routines -- and the effect it had on the audience -- that made up my mind up. Singing is what I wanted to do. Informal groups came and went in junior and senior high school until The Distants pulled together -- Al Bryant, James Crawford, Melvin Franklin, Richard Street and yours truly. It was with the Distants I made my very first professional recording "Come On/Always" on Northern Records. Berry Gordy heard The Distants perform and told us how much he like us and that if things changed with our current management, to give him a call. Shortly there after, The Distants decided to part company with our then manager, Ms. Johnnie Mae Matthews. Unfortunately the contract we signed gave her ownership to the name The Distants, so we were a group with no name. Close to that time, another rising group, The Primes had a recording deal that fell apart. This left Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams without a contract. So now a line up featuring Me, Melvin, Al, Eddie and Paul went to Hitsville (the two story house where Motown was headquartered) to audition as The Elgins (like the watch) After the audition, Berry Gordy said he wanted to sign us--but change the name! We would have had to anyway because there was a group already known as The Elgins. The Year was 1961 and The Temptations were born! The Temptations Life has a way of twisting and turning. Just I was focusing on working with The Temptations, my steady girlfriend, Josephine Rogers, told me she was pregnant. We married, and in 1962 my only child, Otis Lamont Williams, was born. While it was exciting to be recording and traveling for Motown, our first few singles did not hit big. It was discouraging to work so hard and not have things happen. We even recorded a tune as "The Pirates" to see if a new name would make a difference. Thankfully, that was not the issue and we went back to being known as The Temptations. But it did not help my marriage and in 1964, Josephine and I divorced. But there were also changes with The Temptations. Al Bryant's behavior resulted with him to be asked to leave the group. He was replaced by David Ruffin. Our next single "The Way You Do The Things You Do" (1964) charted at number #11. And everything began to change. "My Girl" (recorded in December of 1964) was our first #1 single -- selling a million copies, and one of my all time favorites. The song changed all of our lives, and gave me a ticket through amazing times. This part of my life is well documented. But unless you were there, you can't truly know what it was like not only to be part of a major singing group, but to make a mark on history. To be the first all-male group for Motown, to perform in the BBC The Sound of Motown special -- the show that introduced Motown to the world; to help lead the way for black artists to experience crossover success, for our NBC special with the Supremes to be the first Black Television Special in history, to have our first Grammy Award also be Motown's first (Cloud Nine, 1969). And to top it off, I met my second wife, Ann Cain, the following year. The Temptations success has a lot to do with our ability to be in tune with the times, but resist the urge to chase trends. We kept up on what other acts were doing but tried to make each song uniquely our own. Not too many of the groups we came up with could make the transition from doo-wop to social and politically conscious songs. We celebrate the past, but always look forward. When we finished taping the 1983 Motown 25 show, we went right back to finishing our Back to Basics album. And I married for a third time, to Goldie. I've taken the good with the bad. While being a Temptation has allowed me to record with some of the greatest singers and musicians in the country, perform at the White House, travel the world, sing for Mohammad Ali, even dance with Imelda Marcos, it didn't shelter me from the dark side of life: power struggles within the group, dealing with David Ruffin's drug problem as well Paul Williams's drinking and suicide, my mother and son's early death, Melvin's failing health, and Martin Luther King's assassination all had an effect on me. But, I've also been a witness to huge changes in normal, daily life. When we started touring, it was a matter of routine for venues in southern states to divide white and black fans by a rope. Commonplace then, unthinkable now -- I like to think we had a hand in that. The Now Tempts Personnel changes with The Temptations was just part of the story, sometimes by fate, sometimes by choice. While some people have criticized us for it, I would argue it kept the group fresh and gave us staying power. As an example, when I teamed up with Ali Ollie Woodson to write songs, one of our first collaborations was "Treat her Like a Lady" which was one of our biggest selling hits of the 80's. The Temptations were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, but our story doesn't end there. 1989 also gave us a #10 R&B hit with "Special." We followed that up with "Soul to Soul" #12 in 1990 and "The Jones" -- #41 in 1991. Although they had left the group years prior, the 1991 deaths of David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks was viewed by many people as the end of The Temptations. But The Temptations have always been about a sound; straight up soul with 5 leads and a philosophy; to keep on. So we sought out singers who embraced both and went forward. For Lovers Only, a collection of standards in 1995, attracted a new generation of fans. It will always be a sentimental favorite of mine as it was the last record I did with Melvin Franklin. He died later that year. 1998 was a watershed year for The Temptations and an example of the balancing act we maintain to this day, on one hand our NBC mini series The Temptations, which chronicled our early days and rise to fame, was number one it's time slot (against Monday Night Football and Jurassic Park no less!), and won an Emmy. At the same time, our album of all new material, Phoenix Rising went platinum, with the single "Stay" topping Billboard's Adult Contemporary charts for 3 months. How many groups who started in 1961 can say that?! That success was followed with a 2000 Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Recording for Ear-Resistable. We released additional new songs on Awesome in 2001 with the group continuing to tour, usually spending 40 weeks a year on the road. 2004 marks the release of The Temptations 60th CD -- Legacy with includes a track, "You Are Necessary in my Life" which I co-wrote and co-produced. I launched www.otiswilliams.net to provide both breaking news and a historic record for fans of The Temptations worldwide. We've signed a "Surf & Soul" World Tour with the Beach Boys and Four Tops, which kicks off in 2005. I'm developing an Otis Williams clothing line and also looking into making some of my artwork available through the internet. And I'm always working on a new song.

Patrick Kelly has joined the Healthcare Distribution Management Association (HDMA) as senior vice president of government affairs.
Supplier News Breaks Archives
ARLINGTON, Va. – Patrick Kelly has joined the Healthcare Distribution Management Association (HDMA) as senior vice president of government affairs.
HDMA said Tuesday that Kelly will lead all of the health care distributor trade group's federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives. Most recently, he was vice president for state government relations and alliance development for the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO).
"As an industry, we are confronted with a wide array of evolving laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the safety, value and efficiency of the health care supply chain, and Patrick will be instrumental in helping us articulate and advocate our interests," HDMA president and chief executive officer John Gray said in a statement. "His extensive legislative and regulatory government relations experience, particularly at the state level, will be critical as he develops strategies to address major issues such as reimbursement, uniform federal pedigree and the growth of specialty pharmaceutical distribution."
For 15 years at BIO, Patrick was responsible for state legislative and regulatory activity in all 50 states, according to HDMA. He also oversaw BIO's alliance development efforts, working with patient advocacy groups and various other organizations to promote the biotechnology industry and communicate around issues including economic development, health care, bioethics, agriculture, renewable fuels and industrial biotechnology.
Before joining BIO, Kelly was a representative for state and environmental affairs with the Grocery Manufacturers Association.

BNF's 'feed yourself fuller' chart, is designed to give you an idea of the energy density of a variety of foods and dishes.
Energy density - the calories per gram of food, is really important in determining how full you feel after eating. For the same number of calories, lower energy density foods have been shown to make people feel fuller. Also, people on a lower energy density diet have been found to lose more weight than on a standard low fat diet, without feeling hungrier, or restricting the total amount food they ate.
To eat a low energy density diet, you need to eat lots of low energy density foods, but this doesn't mean you can't eat foods with a high energy density, you just have to keep the portion sizes small, or eat these foods less often. In the chart you can see some of the ways you can reduce the energy density of your diet; you could have a baked potato instead of fried chips, add more vegetables to your spaghetti Bolognese and swap strawberries and cream, for mixed berries and low fat yoghurt. If you feel like chocolate, you could try a chocolate mousse instead of a chocolate bar. Also, combining very low and medium energy density foods in a meal, makes it low in energy density overall, so opt for plenty of salad and vegetables alongside medium energy density foods like fish, meat or pizza and try having soup as a starter.
Below we've got some advice for each of the categories in the chart:
Very low energy density foods – go for it! You can eat big portions of these foods and use them to bulk out meals.
Low energy density foods – these foods make up most of what we eat and you can eat satisfying portions.
Medium energy density foods – these can be included in the diet, and it's especially important to eat oily fish like salmon, and to include lean sources of protein like steak, but you need to control the portion sizes of these foods and eat them alongside lots of lower energy density foods.
High energy density foods – these can be included in the diet, but in small portions or eaten less frequently. You can also try swapping them for lower energy density alternatives some of the time, for example, use a reduced fat spread instead of butter or margarine, try baked instead of standard crisps or a low-fat soft cheese instead of hard cheese.
The feed yourself fuller chart can be downloaded below.

On the Mane Stage, where the vast majority of about 50,000 festival-goers were gathered, Rascal Flatts member Jay DeMarcus let the audience know several songs into the group's headlining performance.
Several minutes earlier, while Leon Russell was performing across the Empire Polo Field on the Palomino Stage, the Oklahoma rocker was informed by a crew member of the Al Qaeda leader's death and relayed the message to several hundred people gathered for his set.
We're just getting word that Osama bin Laden has left this world," Russell said, before offering up a rendition of the gospel standard Amazing Grace" that he dedicated to U.S. troops.
Musically, this year's festival wrapped up with performances by two spiky haired singers at opposite ends of the Empire Polo Field in Indio, and at very different places on the musical spectrum.
Rascal Flatts didn't dwell on the night's international news, quickly shifting back to the show as planned and its storehouse of Country Lite pop hits. The trio started out as a boy band with a drawl in the heady days of 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys, and you have to hand it to them for surviving, and thriving, long after the straight pop acts faded from the scene.
Singer Gary LeVox shares the fascination of so many pop and R&B singers with bending words and syllables into pretzel-like shapes. More often than not, it simply showcasesshowboats?his vocal dexterity rather than underscoring the words or emotions of the song at hand. And the songs themselves are generally the fluffliest brand of country imaginable.
They have well-defined melodies and hooky choruses, but what can you say about a group that scores a hit wistfully reminiscing about missing Mayberry," a fictional town invented in Hollywood?
Contrast that with the wondrous k.d. lang, who held court with her Sis Boom Bang band at the other end of the grounds. She also has a technically exceptional voice, which she applies with equal facility to country, pop, soul and jazz-inflected songs. Mostly, she sings of romantic longing, and she channels the deep ache of yearning with the power of her voice in soaring ballads such as Constant Craving."
After a weekend of dozens of performances across the broad spectrum of everything related to country, lang's performance provided an eminently satisfying conclusion.
Final attendance figures have not been released by festival promoter Goldenvoice, which expanded the cap it set on each day's attendance from 50,000 last year to 55,000 this year after opening up an additional five acres for festival use.
Indio police spokesman Ben Guitron said Monday that 43 people were arrested Saturday and 45 on Sunday, for a total of 88. The vast majority were alcohol-related arrests, with a smattering of assaults and trespassing violations. That compared to 79 over the course of the recent three-day Coachella festival.

China restricts use of Bitcoin by banks
Posted By Denise On December 7, 2013 @ 8:21 AM In World Wide Web | No Comments
Demand for Bitcoin in China is strong. So strong that it is said investors have embraced the new currency thanks to Chinese demand, which is what has been driving the price so high recently. However, China's central bank is not as eager. On Thursday, the bank announced that the digital currency could only be used for certain transactions and actually prohibit financial institutions in that country from dealing in Bitcoin. In other words, banks operating in China cannot do transactions related to Bitcoin any longer.
The central bank's reasoning is sound. They are concerned about the potential risks associated with the digital currency. As such, they are prohibiting banks and other financial institutions from trading, offering insurance on, or underwriting bitcoins. They also are requiring trading services to report the identities of investors of Bitcoin and move to prohibit money laundering by Bitcoin.
Chinese officials say that they are not banning individuals from owning and using Bitcoin — the country just isn't considering Bitcoin to be a currency.
China isn't the only country seeking to put regulations in place to monitor Bitcoin transactions. Lawmakers in the US are also considering some form of regulation in an effort to lower their use to purchase illicit goods and drugs online, as I'm sure are many other countries seeing the increase in interest in the digital anonymous currency. Let's see what happens.

by Nicholas Creegan
When students are given the opportunity to be an intern at the company of their dreams, they have two options. They can sit back and let the summer pass them by while doing the bare minimum, or they can rise above mediocrity and propose novel story ideas.
I decided to be that rare intern, in the latter group.
When I started at ESPN in Bristol, Conn., I was excited, and nervous. I knew that the 39 other interns were more experienced and had attended more prestigious journalism schools than I.
But there was one thing I was sure of: Nobody wanted to succeed as badly as I did. That is a generalized statement, but it served my purpose. I knew the humble beginnings I represented, and I was determined to do everything necessary to be that intern the higher-ups would be reluctant to forget.
I was assigned to ESPN's digital media department, which is basically ESPN.com. As the only intern in the department, I was the youngest person by 10 years and had no peers to talk with about "young people" things.
That was a blessing in disguise because it meant that my older colleagues could hear my insightful comments about subjects ranging from sports to attracting the younger urban demographic to ESPN's shows and publications.
For my first assignments I followed the strategic planner to meetings. She took notes and I listened. The meetings were important for the ESPN brand but had nothing to do with hands-on journalism.
I learned a lot from her, however, and appreciated the clearance I had while accompanying her. During that week, I shook hands with ESPN broadcasters and saw how the inner web of the business side worked. But I dreamed of actually doing an interview. I was sure my 10 weeks could be better spent.
I decided to write a proposal. The worst that could happen was that my supervisor would say no, right? I wrote down every goal I had set for myself, such as interviewing athletes, covering a major sporting event and landing a travel assignment.
The next day, as my supervisor read my proposal, I said, "With all due respect, Mr. King (Rob King, senior vice president of ESPN.com), I didn't come here to sit around. I came here to prove that even though I am not from a traditional journalism school, I can work hard and give you great results."
King smiled and said that he was impressed. In granting my wishes, he said he was interested in seeing just what I could do.
The next work day, I found a project briefing in my email. It said that Cedric the Entertainer would be on the ESPN campus and that I would interview him about his love of sports as well as his new show "The Soul Man" for the entertainment section of ESPN.com. I couldn't wait. I prepared by watching his show, researching his background and interests and reading what other journalists had to say about him.
When I sat down with Cedric, it felt like we were having a conversation rather than an interview. We laughed, debated sports and talked about life. My article was well received, and I got more opportunities to interview celebrities and athletes, including Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies and the inspiring auto-racing driver Danica Patrick – yes, she looks that good in person.
My supervisors also sent me to the NBA draft to interview the top draft prospects. I had an all-access pass to the events. It was a dream come true. My summer was becoming the best I'd ever had.
During the second-to-last week of my internship I was getting my hair cut and noted to myself that I hadn't done any video work. The barbers were discussing the NFL season outlook. The conversation was getting heated to where I felt like I was watching an episode of the ESPN morning talk show "First Take."
That's when I decided to write one final proposal. I wanted to do a barbershop fan-speak episode in New York City. King loved the idea and contacted ESPN New York. Because of this string-pulling, I became known as "The Envy of the Interns."
I went to Levels barbershop in Harlem to chop it up about the Jets and Giants. It was the most fun I had all summer. The guys were super-animated and the conversation went well.
The 10 weeks of my internship were grueling, and the writing intensive, but I didn't feel like I was "working." I enjoyed every moment I spent in Bristol. Interning at ESPN inspired me to keep honing my skills as a digital journalist. As long as we keep the right mindset and attitude, no dream is too big.

I was shown Autocad Inventor by a guy that really knew his stuff. Came back to the plant and asked for it. One of our engineers said that they had a seat of solid edge that nobody was using, so we inherited it. The maintenance renewal, (so we could get some trainning), was $3200. They will sell us a new seat for $4400.
Our engineering and drafting(hahahaha) depts. are not interested at all. This is something we want in the machine shop to help us design and build tooling. Also to work in conjunction with our Faro arm and Gibbscam.
Both of us are fluent in Autocad now.
Is there a major diference in the two softwares? Would we catch on to Inventor faster than the Solid edge?

Supercharged Food, Gluten Free Recipes, Shopping List and Meal Planner. Shepherd's Pie with Cauliflower Mash « Supercharged Food's Blog. 28 Nov 2011 by Lee Supercharged in All, Autumn, Candida Friendly, Dairy Free, Dinner, Gluten Free, Lunch, Nutrient Rich, Sugar Free, Wheat Free, Winter, Yeast Free Tags: gluten free recipes, low carb, Shepherd's Pie with Cauliflower Mash Pepped Up Shepherd's Pie A new take on a golden oldie, this is a firm favourite in our family.
You can bake individual pies for lunch — a distinct bonus if you're eating alone — and serve with a leafy salad. Eggplant and lentil stacks. Hello friends, how was your weekend?
It was a very warm spring weekend here in Sydney, and we got the first real taste of summer. I did some gardening on my little balcony - the herbs are growing fast and now there are even a few tiny tomatoes popping up! Spiced tempeh chips. Tempeh goes in the same category with tofu - people seem to either love it or hate it.
I personally love tofu (firmer, the better), but don't seem to cook tempeh often enough. These spiced chips were quite addictive, however, so I might just have to make a new batch very soon. I only really learned to use spices when I moved to Australia. Back in Finland my taste buds were quite happily adjusted to the traditional non-spicy food, but when I started tasting and cooking food in my new home-country, I soon realised that there was a whole world of spices for me to explore. Haloumi with vegetable medley.
Happy Friday friends!
Today I'm sharing a little weekend snack recipe with you. I love the flavours in this dish, and the mellow vegetables pair nicely with the salty halloumi cheese. It's a perfect snack to enjoy when you have a little time to spend in the kitchen, just chopping away. Grain-free spinach and ricotta tartlets. Hi friends!
I was up early today and went for a morning run whilst the temperature was still bearable. Already then, I could see the haze covering the distant landscape and that if anything is a sure indication of a hot and humid day ahead. I really wanted to make these spinach and ricotta tartlets for our Saturday lunch so I started baking early in the morning before our little kitchen gets far too hot. These grain-free tarts are such a lovely treat and definitely one of my favourite stand-by dishes to make. Grain-free, sugar-free zucchini mini-cakes with mint yoghurt. Week 5 of my sugar-free challenge is now well under way.
I have certainly broken the habit of looking for that 'something sweet' after meals and found a heap of alternative ways to enjoy baked treats. Not even the fresh new-season mangoes can lure me in at this point! Grain-free ratatouille tarts. I love the serenity of Sunday mornings.
I am always up early, go for a long power walk, have a big breakfast and more often than not, prepare something to have later in the day for lunch or afternoon tea. These irresistible ratatouille tarts have been my recent favourite for a weekend lunch. In the past I've made them with a normal spelt flour base and topped them with goat or feta cheese, but after cutting down on grains, this almond crust is just perfect. I've left the cheese out this time too, but feel free to crumble some on, if you wish. You can play with the ingredients as well, try wild mushrooms or other seasonal ingredients that are available in your corner of the world. Black bean salad.
It's been a hectic weekend with lots of packing, organising, planning.
Fun times, but exhausting as well. I had clearly been in denial of how much stuff we had actually managed to accumulate in 5 years. Pea and avocado soup with watercress and snow pea sprouts. On the weekend I picked up a huge selection of fresh vegetables and started experimenting with different combinations.
It is so uplifting to see all the fresh produce, to touch it, to smell it and to taste it. The beautiful colours of these natural ingredients are the best inspiration one could hope for. Chickpea patties with avocado dip. Firstly, thank you all for such supportive feedback on my sugar-free challenge!
I am really glad to hear so many of you have been inspired to join the challenge and the rest of you are at least considering it! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like more info or tips, or you'd like to give more feedback. Secondly, we are finally moving this weekend. The long 12-week settlement period is finally over and we will get the keys into our new home tomorrow.
Sugar-free Christmas Baking: Spiced sweet potato tarts. The recent happenings (moving house, work, etc.) have made me realise why some people might find it so hard to stay on track with their healthy eating and exercise. As soon as life gets busy - you're travelling, working long hours or there is something new happening in your life, you start taking short-cuts and sacrifice your healthy routines.
Often people find it easier to stick to their healthy habits when they have time to really focus on making conscious choices of what and how to eat, exercise and get enough sleep. As soon as other things get on the way, they lapse and might find it hard to get back on track. I think the only thing that can keep you always on track is that those healthy habits are so established in your life that they are part of your lifestyle and thus you make the right choices subconsciously.
I'm often told how healthy I am or how 'good' I am because I exercise daily, but for me it's just my lifestyle, the way I've chosen to live. Heidi's Oat Cakes. Dear sweet old elegant lady at the park, I'm glad our paths crossed today. You were on your afternoon stroll when you saw me taking photos of flowers (roses, specifically), because that's what I do when I need to clear my head.
You must've been intrigued as you walked over and struck up a conversation with me. Am I a high school student, you asked. I didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or as a sign to consider a wardrobe makeover. Breakfast Quinoa. 8 sugar-free weeks (and still going!) Hi friends! As promised, here is a little recap of my sugar-free challenge (so far) - how it all started, how it went and how I am feeling now. These past eight weeks have really been just the beginning. I have no urge to go back to having sugar in my life, and as you're about to see I am doing quite well without it! So, eight weeks a go I came across this book (Click here for the book). I bought it, and started reading it. Meatless Monday: Chanterelle Soup. Tuesday eats: brown rice. So. Today. I start filming my new TV show. 19 very clever things to do with coconut oil. Following on from my recent why i get excited about coconut oil post, I'm sharing some of the things I do with coconut oil…a few of you have asked the difference between oil and butter.
It's the same thing. The stuff does become an oil in the warmer months, so store in the fridge if you prefer the harder, smoother consistency. photo via My New Roots 1.

A better water system for wildlife Previous Next Hugo Berlanga buried his PVC pipe deep enough to protect it from breakage and to shield it from wildlife and the elements. Mustang Ranch's Jose Mendoza demonstrates how the heavy concrete troughs are put in place. The weight of the troughs is part of their indestructible nature. Hugo Berlanga's Mustang Ranch in Duval County Graphic by John Bruce In some cases, Hugo Berlanga has placed water troughs near a deer feeder. But the water serves all wildlife on the ranch. Each concrete tank holds 40 gallons and cost about $400. Neal Ward's American Steel company makes them. Two of the rain-fed tanks on the Berlanga property have not held water in more than two years. DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The water troughs are kept full by a simple toilet float and valve system, which are completely concealed from the elements.

Cataracts are a clouding of the normally clear crystalline lens as a result of the normal aging process, metabolic changes, or even certain medications.
Cataracts impair vision by preventing light from being accurately focused on the retina.
There are many symptoms of cataracts, including:
1. Clumps of protein reduce the sharpness of the image reaching the retina.
The lens consists mostly of water and protein. When the protein clumps up, it clouds the lens and reduces the light that reaches the retina. The clouding may become severe enough to cause symptoms including blurred vision. Most age-related cataracts develop from altered lens protein.
When a cataract is small, the cloudiness affects only a small part of the lens. You may not notice any changes in your vision. Cataracts tend to "grow" slowly, so vision gets worse gradually. Over time, the cloudy area in the lens may get larger, and the cataract may increase in size. Seeing may become more difficult. Your vision may get duller or blurrier.
2. The clear lens slowly changes to a yellowish/brownish color, adding a brownish tint to vision.
As the clear lens slowly colors with age, your vision gradually may acquire a brownish shade. At first, the amount of tinting may be small and may not cause a vision problem. Over time, increased tinting may make it more difficult to read and perform other routine activities. This gradual change in the amount of tinting does not affect the sharpness of the image transmitted to the retina.
If you have advanced lens discoloration, you may not be able to identify blues and purples. You may be wearing what you believe to be a pair of black socks, only to find out from friends that you are wearing purple socks.
Call 888-ASK-DUKE (888-275-3853) to learn more about premium lens replacement, astigmatism correcting lenses, and traditional lenses at one of Duke Eye Center's Durham, Raleigh, Cary, or Winston-Salem North Carolina offices.

Porcelain laminate veneers: Pre-veneer treatments to Consider Placentia
Porcelain laminate veneers Pre-veneer treatments to Consider
Porcelain laminate veneers refer to a one of the most popular solutions being widely used in cosmetic dentistry today. From superstars to sportspeople, from the youthful to the mature, a cross section of aspirants to a beautiful smile, favour the porcelain veneer as an option.
Covering an ugly set of discoloured or chipped teeth is one problem that is addressed by porcelain veneers. Additionally misshapen teeth which spoil the symmetry and uniformity of your teeth can be shaped and covered.
In comparison to crowns and caps, bleaching and whitening, bonding and other cosmetic dentistry procedures which enhance the look of your teeth and restore a sparkle to your smile, porcelain veneers have several advantages:
Stain resistance
Translucence on par with a natural tooth
Speedy process
Generally very little preparation
These factors usually cause the 'bright smile seeker' to opt for a porcelain veneer rather than other methods.
A further benefit of a veneer is the possibility of rectifying badly aligned teeth that are out of place and leave gaps. This is an especially 'quick fix' that is sometimes referred to an 'instant brace' or 'instant orthodontics' and has its attraction in dealing quickly with a problem that would otherwise have taken months to set right – to say nothing of the discomfort and unsightly appearance.
In spite of this speedy solution being a pleasant prospect, causing many to opt for veneers rather than the conventional braces, expert cosmetic dentists suggest that orthodontics is an essential pre-veneer treatment to consider in some cases. Certain patients that require a brace can much better benefit from subsequently getting porcelain veneers after orthodontics has been used to correct the teeth.
Preparation of teeth for veneers which is generally a simple process of removing a fine layer of enamel from the tooth to ensure strong bonding, can be a much more complicated process in the case of badly aligned teeth and shaping them to produce an even smile. A good cosmetic dentist will try to save as much of your own tooth as possible.
Which is why, they do advise orthodontics as a pre-veneer treatment, even though it may prolong the process of achieving a lovely set of teeth. The bottom line, they say, is to do whatever is takes to do what is best for their patient, and consider both the health of the teeth as well as the appearance.

Adam Klosowiak '15
1976 Hall
Hey Everyone! I'm a member of the class of 2015 in the Electrical Engineering Department. I'm from Glenview, Illinois, which is about 35 minutes outside of Chicago. When I'm not building circuits on campus, I'm biking around New Jersey as part of the Princeton Cycling Team or playing hockey with the Princeton Club Hockey team. I also like to play guitar and piano in my spare time, so if you ever want to jam let me know. Princeton (and Butler in particular) is truly the best time of your life and I can't wait to embark on this adventure together. Feel free to reach out to me if you ever have any questions.

Conservative treatments — such as rest, ice and physical therapy — often are all that's needed to recover from a rotator cuff injury. If your injury is severe and involves a complete tear of the muscle or tendon, you might need surgical repair.
If conservative treatments haven't reduced your pain, your doctor might recommend a steroid injection into your shoulder joint, especially if the pain is interfering with your sleep, daily activities or exercise. While such shots are often helpful, they should be used judiciously as they can contribute to weakening of the tendon.
Physical therapy exercises can help restore flexibility and strength to your shoulder after a rotator cuff injury.
Surgical options may include:
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder joint in place and allow you to move your arm and shoulder. Problems occur when part of the rotator cuff becomes irritated or damaged. This can result in pain, weakness and reduced range of motion.
Sometimes one or more tendons become detached from the bone. In some cases, a surgeon can reattach the tendon to the bone using a thread-like material called a suture.
But sometimes the tendon is too badly damaged to be reattached. In that case, the surgeon may consider a "tendon transfer." This is a procedure in which a tendon from a different location is used to repair the rotator cuff.
The tendon most commonly transferred is the latissimus dorsi tendon in the back. For a latissimus dorsi transfer, the surgeon makes two incisions: one in the back and one in the front of the shoulder.
In the back, the surgeon detaches one end of a latissimus dorsi tendon and attaches a suture to that end. In the front, the surgeon creates a flap in the deltoid muscle, which covers the shoulder. He or she inserts a tool to grasp the end of the latissimus dorsi tendon. The surgeon brings the tendon under the deltoid to its new position.
Sutures are used to connect the transferred tendon to any remaining rotator cuff as well as bone. The surgeon tightens the sutures to pull the tendon against the bone and ties it securely in place. In some cases, anchors are inserted into the bone to help hold the sutures in place.
The surgeon closes the flap in the deltoid muscle. The incisions are then closed in the front and back.
Sometimes a bone spur forms on a shoulder bone called the acromion. "Subacromial" refers to the space beneath this bone. A bone spur in this location irritates and frays the rotator cuff tendon directly underneath. To relieve pressure on the tendon, a "decompression" procedure may be performed.
Often, a surgeon can accomplish this with an arthroscopic procedure — inserting a camera and tools through small incisions. This operation is called an arthroscopic subacromial decompression. The surgeon grinds down the spur and smoothes the bone. He or she may also clean the frayed portions of the tendon by shaving them.
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder joint in place and allow you to move your arm and shoulder. Problems with the rotator cuff may cause weakness or pain and restrict movement. It may also cause damage to the shoulder joint.
Often, tendons can be repaired. However, if the tendons are severely damaged, an operation called reverse shoulder replacement may be a better way to improve the joint's function and reduce pain, especially if the joint is affected by arthritis.
This operation is also called reverse arthroplasty. "Arthro" means joint; "plasty" means to mold surgically.
The top of the arm bone fits into a socket on the shoulder blade. In a typical shoulder replacement, a plastic lining is attached to the socket to allow smooth movement. The surgeon removes the top of the arm bone and inserts a metal stem with a ball on the end. However, if the rotator cuff is severely damaged, the joint may not be stable or work properly.
In a reverse shoulder replacement, the normal ball-and-socket structure is reversed. An artificial ball is attached to the shoulder blade. An artificial socket is attached to the top of the arm bone. The large deltoid muscle that covers the shoulder is typically able to move the arm.
General anesthesia will be given so you will sleep through the surgery.
An incision or cut is made in the front of the arm and shoulder. The surgeon separates muscles and cuts through tissue to expose the joint.
The upper arm bone is removed from the socket. The top of the arm bone is cut off and prepared to receive an artificial part. The socket is also prepared. A plate is screwed to the socket and a half-sphere attached. The metal stem is inserted in the arm bone, and a plastic socket is attached to the top.
The new socket is fitted against the new ball to allow smooth movement. The tissue is sewn together around the joint, and the incision is closed.

Don Passey, Dept Educational ResearchDate: 17 January 2007 Time: 4.00 pm Department of Educational Research Seminar Title:Interactive Whiteboards: are they a motivational gimmick or a valuablelearning asset? Location: Library Seminar Room 2 Abstract: Comments from primary and secondary teachers and advisers in LAs about the value of interactive whiteboards differ widely; some teachers feel that they have enabled them to support pupil learning more effectively, while others feel they just have to use them because of the costs involved. There are indications of benefits from an existing literature, but benefits are often fairly loosely indicated. This seminar will explore findings from a range of recent studies that offer some more precise indicators of impacts, while raising further questions about the relationships of interactive whiteboard features to teacher and learner approaches and interactions.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Formerly a Congolese warehouse, this lively local favorite is a great place to grab a casual meal. The decor is standard Flanders: worn black-and-white floor tiles, paper-menu place mats on wood tables, tatterdemalion maps on the walls, and a nicotine-stained ceiling suggesting a long lineage of dining and debating intelligentsia that continues today. The fare is basic but tasty: juicy steaks are served with a choice of six sauces (mushroom, mustard, Roquefort, béarnaise, peppercorn, and Provençal) aside fresh leafy salads, piping-hot soups, and small pots of wine. Daring diners might want to sample the horse steak, something of a cult favorite in Belgium.
Open daily 7:30 pm to 1 am.

A new track for a new season
Evangeline Downs kicks off the racing season with a new look
For the first time in 2009, it's time to pony-up at Evangeline Downs in Opelousas. This year when you head out to the track, you'll get a chance to see big time horse racing on a brand new state-of-the-art turf track.
The new seven furlong course has been named "David A. Yount Turf" after the Downs' former executive director that passed away last year after a year long battle with cancer.
The track is 80 feet wide with Bermuda grass and senors in the railings to help aid in scoring. The first race on the new track will be Wednesday, April 8th at 6:20 p.m.
That race kicks off what officials hope will be a new chapter in Evangeline Downs racing. The turf track has been in the plans for a few years but because of hurricanes in recent summers, hoofs never saw the course. 89 nights of racing kicks off on Wednesday and officials hope that this new track will have them galloping towards success.
To hear from Evangeline Downs representative Steve Darbonne and Louisiana Thoroughbreds Breeders Association CEO, Tom Early, click above.

CLINTON – The Bauxite Miners defeated the Clinton Yellowjackets 67-50 in the championship game of the Clinton Christmas Classic on Tuesday to win their second straight tournament. The Miners won the Bill Gibbs Memorial in Haskell earlier this season and also defended their Clinton title, winning the tournament last year as well.
"It was a good little tune-up before we get into the grind of conference," Bauxite Coach Andy Brakebill said. "It was good to defend the title and get the win."
BENTON – The Benton Junior Panthers were without their leading scorer Jai Peters in the second round of the Benton Christmas Classic on Tuesday against North Pulaski, but the Panthers improved to 9-3 with a 33-26 win at Benton Middle School. Benton will face El Dorado today at 12:30 p.m. in the final tourney contest.
Peters played in Monday's win over J.A. Fair, but Benton Coach David Torres said he was going with caution on Tuesday.
FOUNTAIN LAKE — The Harmony Grove Cardinals started the season on fire, winning four straight. Then a blizzard hit has the Cardinals shooting went cold and the club lost three straight before entering the Fountain Lake Invitational on Saturday.
Having already beaten the host Cobras by 29 earlier in the year in the Bill Gibbs Memorial, the Cardinals finally found the win column once more, snapping their slight skid with a 47-37 victory over the Fountain Lake.
NORTH LITTLE ROCK — The Bryant Lady Hornet swim team dominated for their third consecutive victory, while the Hornets took second at the Thomas Holter Memorial Meet in North Little Rock last week. The Lady Hornets outdistanced second-place Cabot 569 to 396, as Mount St. Mary's took third (359), North Little Rock fourth with 264 and Searcy rounded out the top five with 45 points.
CABOT — After going into triple overtime, the Benton Panthers defeated the Cabot Panthers 75-72 on Saturday at the Cabot Pre-Holiday Classic. Benton Head Coach Dexter Hendrix said it was an earned team win.
"It's a total team effort anytime you go into one overtime, especially three overtimes it takes a lot of guys," Hendrix said. "I thought we had a lot of guys that made big plays and I was proud of our guys, they kept their fight their whole game."

BRYANT — During his junior year at Bryant, utility baseball player Drew Tipton was placed into the outfield after playing his entire sophomore year in the infield. While some may have struggled with the new position, Tipton excelled.
"He is a very versatile player," Bryant Head Coach Kirk Bock said. "Offensively, he can swing it. He brings a lot to the table.
"Last year, he was thrusted into an outfield role and he did a tremendous job."

I replaced stock tires with these and really like the Maxis Big Horn but felt like they were a little spending so I went with these as I like the tread pattern. I have about 500 miles on them and have absolutely zero complaints. Have traveled mostly on rock,sand, dirt, snow and mud and I have seen great performance

I bought a set of Vipers to replace my Maxxis Bighorns on the front of my T2 and although they're a little more expensive, I can't say they demonstrate any clear advantage over the stock rubber. They've earned their keep however, when I've(accidentally) hit boulders a few times at speeds that would probably have punctured cheaper tires. I like 'em, but will probably go with DOT tires when they wear out.
