Highfield Manor is the perfect location for your romantic wedding and reception, corporate event, or vacation with family and friends.
Nestled amongst towering great oaks and rushing streams, Highfield Manor offers guests luxurious living, breathtaking views of Whitehill Pond and a relaxing indoor pool and sauna....all just minutes from the Chesapeake Bay.
Our guests can enjoy al fresco dining on the many stone terraces and wrap-around balconies. Later, take a stroll along Whitehill pond, and enjoy its lovely fountain and wooden float. Hike across running streams via quaint wooden footbridges to explore the 25 acres of flora and fauna. Relax by the serene koi pond, with playful frogs and turtles, and a beautiful stone waterfall.
Once indoors, you'll be greeted with a stylish yet comfortable modern estate home. The living and dining areas are anchored by a large wood-burning fireplace. For the musician, an ebony baby grand piano sets off the unbelievable panoramic view of Whitehill Pond and beyond. Floor-to-ceiling windows create an atmosphere of living in the sky!
A mix of mid-century modern and circa-1930 French salon furniture nicely complement the original artwork and modern architectural details of the home.
Just ahead is every gourmand's dream; a custom kitchen featuring a Viking stove, double oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Jenn-Aire warmer, wet bar, granite countertops and a large butler's pantry. You can prepare an intimate dinner for two or a feast for many...Bon Appetit!
Next, walking up the open staircase, you'll discover the master bedroom, with king bed, built-in cabinets, ensuite bathroom and a balcony overlooking the property. The balcony is a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening cocktail.
Each tastefully decorated bedroom on this level has a wood-burning stove (non-operational) and plenty of storage.
Bedroom 2 also has a balcony and a queen bed, as well as an ensuite bathroom.
Bedroom 3 has a full bed and an ensuite bathroom.
Next, walk up the open staircase to the bonus bedroom, with treetop views, twin beds and cable/wifi flatscreen TV. This spot has been called the highest point in Kent County. What views!
Another fabulous feature of Highfield Manor is the indoor spa located on the lower level. Relax and de-stress in the built-in sauna and eight-person Jacuzzi. For your convenience, the spa area includes a large shower and powder room.
Once you leave the spa you can relax in the nicely appointed entertainment room, featuring a large flat-screen TV, queen sleep sofa, poker/backgammon table and walk-out deck.
Just steps away, Highfield Manor also includes a detached enclosed pool house featuring a heated Eternity Pool, and 5-bay carport.
Access to the pool and parking is included in your Highfield Manor rental.
Highfield Manor's unique architecture and natural setting is often compared to the modern classic estate Fallingwater. We hope you'll enjoy your stay, and choose to visit Highfield Manor time and again when on Maryland's beautiful Eastern Shore.
This property is absolutely gorgeous! The living room is elegant yet warm and comfortable. It has a wall of windows overlooking the stunning grounds. The bedrooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, with extremely comfortable beds. I was there with girlfriends and we each had our own clean, bright, bathroom. The gourmet kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals and happy hour of course. We spent a little time in the charming town of nearby Chestertown but honestly did not want to leave the house. It had everything we wanted and needed. The owner, Jack, was friendly, helpful and a pleasure to work with. We plan to make our stay here a yearly tradition.
This was my first visit to Jack's place--college friends reunion. The home was gorgeous. We spent most of the time in the living room overlooking the beautiful grounds. The beds were comfy. The kitchen gourmet and well stocked. The baths luxurious. The beds were comfy. The yard was delightful and serene. The pool hit the spot for a quick workout. This retreat was conveniently located near charming Chestertown, Md. My friends and I would come back in a heartbeat!! LOVED IT!!
We and three other couples rented this house for a long weekend. The PROS:The house is very nice and the kitchen was furnished for cooking. It's got nice rooms, a nice property & I like that we didn't all have to share one bathroom.
The CONS: I was disappointed that after we agreed on a price the owner informed us that the hot tub was broken but didn't offer to give us a discount. I felt that would have been fair, but let it go. After dinner the first night the sink garbage disposal got clogged. When we started to gather in the living room to play games we couldn't get the living room lights on, and found one of the leather sling chair's stitching was loose so that we couldn't use it. It was late for calling the caretaker, so I called the next morning. I told her about the 3 items & informed the man who came to fix the disposal & the lights that the wood under the sink was rotten & moldy from the disposal having a long term leak. He took care of the lights (circuit breaker issue), took the chair with him & fixed the clog in the disposal. So far so good.
A month later & I still hadn't received my security deposit. I call the owner & he informs me that the chair is being looked at by the insurance adjuster & that he's holding my check. I told him that we didn't break the chair -- that the stitching was loose & I was merely letting them know as a courtesy, same as I'd like renters to let me know of anything that needs attention in my own rental. He then proceeds to challenge me: the chair was fine the day before when it was dusted, he hadn't seen it broken the last time he was there, etc. When I explained that we never even had the opportunity to use the chair, he got a bit heated & insisted that all was well prior to our arrival. (Luckily he didn't accuse us of causing the rotten, mildewed floor under the sink, too, since no one had apparently ever noticed that, either!) He eventually agreed to send my deposit back, but not after basically calling me a liar & getting quite nasty.
We've rented houses for years both in the US & in Europe. I've generally been pleased & often we end up returning to places year after year. One couple we were with was going to rent this home until I told them about the homeowner's behavior, when they decided to steer clear. The whole incident left a very bad taste in my mouth & ruined what otherwise would have been a very nice weekend.
We have rented many properties through VRBO over the years. This property is our absolute favorite. We grew up in the area and were excited to see this home available. We were always curious about it. Jack met us when we arrived. He immediately made us feel at home. He took the time to give us on a tour and show us how everything operated. The interior was spotless. The beds were comfortable - we slept very well. The sauna, hot tub and pool were fabulous. The kitchen was a dream. We enjoyed walking the property, crossing the foot bridges, watching the birds and squirrels. We so enjoyed sitting in the living area and taking in the view. The lights at night on the trees were incredible. It was fun to be at tree top level and watch the leaves fall from the trees and see them drift to the ground. We even enjoyed watching some snow fall. We will be back next year. Everything was perfect!
Booking this home was the first time I had used VRBO. Unfortunately, I feel that I am now spoiled--everything about this experience was phenomenal. I stayed at Highfield Manor with 7 friends for a wedding (all of us are in our mid 20s), and all 8 of us had a blast and would highly recommend this property to anyone who plans to stay in Chestertown. The property itself is just beautiful, and while the pictures accompanying this listing are great, the real thing is even better. The house is incredibly spacious, well-lit, and pristine, not to mention well-equipped with air-conditioning should you need it in the heat of the summer! The beds are very comfortable, too! While our group did not take advantage of the indoor pool (which looked like fun!), we did have a fun time exploring the backyard. Beyond all of this, the property owner is also fantastic and very responsive. We had no problems at all obtaining a quote (he responded to us within an hour or two after our submission), working out the logistics of our stay, and meeting up with him on the day of our arrival for the house keys and a wonderful tour of the house. He was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and enthusiastic. Overall, if you're at all considering staying in the Chestertown area, do NOT miss the opportunity to experience this property! I can't think of a single negative element to our experience, and I can only hope that using VRBO is like this all the time!
Upon arriving until the moment we left, I have never felt such peace and tranquility on a rental property.
The pictures are beautiful but to be able to actually walk the grounds and sit in one of the chairs and enjoy the grounds is beyond words.
Don't worry if the weather is bad you can always sit in the living room and look out the floor to ceiling windows and enjoy the view as well.
The house itself is very tastefully decorated, extremely beautiful and very comfortable.
Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a girls weekend or a family vacation, this property offers something for everyone.
The owner Jack is very kind and makes sure that you have everything you need to make your stay most enjoyable.
I highly recommend this beautiful property for anybody wanting to stay in this area.
We are already planning our next stay.
Charming historic Chestertown MD houses Washington College as well as Emmanuel Church, which was the site of the first Episcopal Church in America. Many significant sites from America's Colonial Period, the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and the Civil War are in the area.
It also hosts lively entertainment at The Garfield Theatre, and many festivals along the riverfront and at the town's Fountain Park. A replica of the 1768 schooner Sultana holds proud watch over the marina, and also offers educational tours.
The award-winning Lemon Leaf Cafe has the 'best cream of crab soup' on the Eastern shore, but don't leave town without trying their famous crab cakes and lemon meringue pie. Evening entertainment is offered at the adjoining JR's Pub. One can spend the day shopping, antiquing or just strolling along the cobblestone sidewalks of this Eastern Shore gem.
Shopping in Chestertown can take you from the gorgeous antiques at Poor Richard's to the chic styles at Mimi's Closet. Don't miss the local flavor of gift shops Twigs and Teacups, Gabriela's or Dockside. Art galleries, coffee shops and quaint restaurants will entice you, and the weary can have a day of beauty at Flow salon. Also, the Queenstown Outlets are only 25 minutes away.
Just down the road is a boater's pardise. Rock Hall, Maryland is a waterfront town offering gorgeous views of America's treasure, the Chesapeake Bay. Swim, sail or kayak to your heart's content. Crabs, clams and rockfish are the prime catch for the local watermen, and their bounty can become your entree within just a few moments.

Current Version: TreeAssist v4.3.2
Major config file re-write! Please check the TreeAssist v4.1 file to see the changes and appropriate actions to take. Its simple and really shouldn't affect servers any differently, but is absolutely required in 4.1+.
Here is the new config:
Features: Auto Fell: True Sapling Percent: 5 Sapling From Leaf: True Tool: Enable Single Tool: True ID: 275 Permissions: Use Permissions: True
You can always copy/paste into your old config file, but it is not recommended.
Auto Fell: True
- Enable Auto-felling trees. Without this, most of the functionality is disabled.
Sapling Percent: 5
- Percent chance of replanting (not quite implemented yet)
Sapling From Leaf: True
- Enable planting of saplings when they drop from leaves (not quite implemented yet)
Enable Single Tool: True
- Limit the TreeAssist tool to only one item.
- If set to False, any axe will work.
- Set the Single Tool item to 275 (stone axe)
Use Permissions: True
- Enable permissions checking. Built against PEX's API.
- Allows auto-choping trees. This is the main permission.
Hello, version v4.1.2 is buggy for me, i have set: Enable Single Tool: False and it still only work with item 275, and if Use Permissions: False - is false the TreeAssist stop working for me. No Errors.
This plugin hasn't chopped down trees, replanted saplings, or anything since i updated it on my server months ago. It was working from from 1.4.5 to 1.4.6 but 1.4.7 it just does not work.
I figured it might be mcMMO conflicting so i tweaked with the config on TreeAssist and mcMMO and both of them are setup correctly.
I got all the axes item id's and item names listed under the tools.
Yet you hit a tree... Nothing happens...
There is no errors, there is nothing to go on it just simply doesn't do what it should.

The plugin no longer chops down trees. Here's a copy of my server log when the server starts up. http:pastebin.com/k0NqfsAP
Why does breaking a tree also break the tree next to it? This causes many problems such as the tree next to it doesn't break all of the logs so theres still floating logs.
Works with java 8 beta, can you add so the leafs drop faster.
Updating your Java seems to be the major problem with most plug-ins not working. Pro-tip, along with updating your Java to the most recent version, go into your Control Panel, and manually uninstall all previous versions of Java. This is what was preventing TreeAssist from working on my server. Thank you teh_jombi for this great plug-in!

text: J-1 DIRECTOR CORPORATE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES REPORT 11th December 2007 DCCS14 AIR CONDITIONERS - CIVIC CENTRE FILE: 487 CC:153 KRW {Folio No. *} SUMMARY: Reporting on current air conditioning systems in place at Council's Civic Centre offices and their inefficiencies in relation to power consumption, meeting OH&S guidelines, cost of maintenance and green house gas emissions DESCRIPTION: Kempsey Shire Council's Civic Centre has 35 individual air conditioning units ranging in age from 20 years to 12 months old. The power consumption of the 35 units if all running at maximum capacity at the same time is estimated to cost $550 per day. Some of the older type units are inefficient in operation and offer no more relief than a cooling fan. The OH&S regulation 2001 Clauses 47 and 48 refer to the responsibility of employers to provide adequate ventilation and air movement in indoor environments. The following is an extract from the WorkCover Guide to Health and Safety in the Office 2004:- "Ventilation refers to the movement of air and rate of fresh air input. Air movement of less than 0.1 meters per second can lead to stuffy rooms whereas above 0.2 meters per second draughts can be felt. For each person a minimum rate of 5-10 litres per second per person for general office space or 10 litres per second for every 10 square meters of flooring is recommended." No office space in the civic centre has a fresh air return system in place and the need to open windows leads to a reduction in the effectiveness of the centres security and exposes staff to unwanted interruptions from passers by. The cost of maintaining the 35 plus units is presently $1200.00 per four month period. In addition old units can contribute to 'sick building syndrome', where the incidence of illness can be significantly higher in some buildings than in THIS IS PAGE 1 OF THE REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR CORPORATE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES SUBMITTED TO THE ORDINARY MEETING OF THE KEMPSEY SHIRE COUNCIL HELD ON TUESDAY, 11TH DECEMBER 2007. J-2 others. The symptoms that characterise 'sick building syndrome' are sore eyes, running nose, headaches, mucous membrane irritation, dry skin, dizziness and nausea. The air–conditioning and refrigeration industry is the largest user of hydroflurocarbons (HFCs), a group of potent synthetic green house gases and is a significant user of energy. Refrigeration and air conditioning equipment that is not maintained in good order consumes more energy than necessary thus increasing the amount of CO2, released to the atmosphere. Council has received quotes from Trial Bay Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, its existing Civic Centre air-conditioning contractor, to upgrade the air conditioning in all main office areas of the Civic Centre to meet existing Australian Standards. This does not include the Council Chambers area in which a new air-conditioning unit was installed last year. The cost estimate for each department area is as follows:- Shire Services - $26,500.00 Sustainable Services – $26,500.00 Human Resources - $13,250.00 Records - $8,200.00 Mayor, General Manager and IT Section - $15,250.00 Corporate Services - $13,250.00 Total Cost: $102,950 The work includes removal of old units, sealing off of pipes, install new units, new ducting, return air, new toilet exhausts, fresh air intake, to meet Australian Standard 1668.2 - 2002 It is expected that the cost of running a new ducted system would be less than our current units plus the new proposed systems are inverter type which are 30% cheaper to run than standard systems. The install of the new systems would mean that the office areas are in accordance with OH&S regulations 2001 and WorkCover guidelines for Health & Safety in the Office. For the purpose of this report only one quotation has been supplied to provide an indication of the costing for the upgrade for inclusion in budget considerations. Should Council consent to the work, additional quotations would be sought in accordance with the provisions of the "Purchasing Goods and Services" Policy. REPORT IMPLICATIONS: • Environmental The environmental implications of the report mainly relate to the reduced consumption of power and a reduction in producing green house gases. • Social THIS IS PAGE 2 OF THE REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR CORPORATE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES SUBMITTED TO THE ORDINARY MEETING OF THE KEMPSEY SHIRE COUNCIL HELD ON TUESDAY, 11TH DECEMBER 2007. J-3 Improving the air quality of Councils office areas should help to reduce some illness born from insufficient air flow and exchange of fresh air have a flow on effect to employees lives, better working environment is beneficial to employees health. • Economic (Financial) Initial outlay of approximately $102,950.00, using the estimate provided by Trial Bay Refrigeration and Air Conditioning will be required should all the units be upgraded in one (1) financial year. Savings will be achieved in power consumption and reduced maintenance costs. The improved working environment could also reduce the amount of time lost from illness. Being a capital cost, this could be funded from loans. The upgrade could either be staged over several years or done in a single year. • Policy or Statutory OH&S regulations 2001 Clauses 47 & 48 covers the requirements for Council to provide for the health of its employees in the workplace in relation to ventilation and air-conditioning. • Director's Review With the exception of the Council Chambers and Customer First Centre the air conditioning systems used in the Civic Centre buildings do not comply with the Building Code of Australia and Australian Standards (15 air changes per hour). This matter is raised as a peoples health issue and could expose Council to the risk of OH&S and workers compensation claims. The works could be staged. RECOMMENDATION: That funding for the upgrade of all old air-conditioning units at the Civic Centre and replacement with ducted systems be listed for consideration in the 2008-2009 budget estimates. ………………………………..

I don't think that human beings are fundamentally evil anymore. I don't think destruction of the world is inevitable. I think we can change things.
If you're thinking about getting into the business of peace—of calling for an annual day of global nonviolence—why not go all in and attempt your tranquility experiment in the ultimate land of lawlessness, Afghanistan, where banditry, tribal rivalries, and drug-related bloodshed rule the day? This arduous route is the precise one Jeremy Gilley chose in 1999 when he founded Peace One Day, a nonprofit organization that documents its peace quest through film. After the United Nations recognized September 21 as the International Day of Peace in 2001, Gilley and actor Jude Law travelled to Afghanistan to garner support for the day. To their surprise, the Taliban agreed to abide by the one-day ceasefire. "Everybody said, 'There's a day of peace, but it will never really make any difference.' " How wrong they were. "Children were vaccinated, there was a 70 percent decrease in violence," says Gilley. This win, hopes Gilley, will lead to a worldwide global ceasefire on September 21, 2012. "If you can reduce by 70 percent in Afghanistan, why can't you reduce by 70 percent everywhere—from the playground to the poppy field?" says Gilley.
TakePart travelled to the Skoll World Forum in Oxford, England, to pick the brains of the world's biggest thinkers. These Innovators in Action are changing the face of the future with bold new ideas and profound enthusiasm. Motivated by personal experience and fueled by the hope that things can get better, these innovators—each of them true social entrepreneurs—are improving our world, one brilliant business idea at a time.

Paul Joseph Steinhardt (born December 25, 1952) is an American theoretical physicist and cosmologist who is currently the Albert Einstein Professor in Science[1] at Princeton University.
Steinhardt's research has spanned problems in particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, condensed matter physics, photonics and geoscience. He is well known as one of the architects of inflationary cosmology and the leading competing alternative known as the cyclic theory of the Universe. He is also one of the originators of the concept of quasicrystals, a state of matter with rotational symmetries once thought to be impossible for solids. He initiated and led a successful effort to discover the first natural quasicrystal, icosahedrite, and has been an innovator in using quasicrystals and other novel patterns to design photonic materials.
In addition, Steinhardt co-founded and is the current Director of the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science.[2]
Academic work[edit]
Steinhardt is best known for his work in theoretical cosmology, where he helped develop the theory of cosmic inflation, which attempts to explain the homogeneity and geometry of the Universe and the origin of the fluctuations that seeded the formation of galaxies and large-scale structure.[3] He introduced the concept of quintessence, a time-varying form of dark energy to explain the current accelerating expansion of the Universe. His recent work has been on brane cosmology, especially the ekpyrotic and cyclic models. The cyclic theory of the Universe is a radical alternative to big bang/inflationary cosmology in which the evolution of the Universe is periodic and the key events shaping the large scale structure of the Universe occur before the big bang.[4]
Steinhardt also works in condensed matter physics, where he coined the name quasicrystal, a novel phase of matter which has symmetries forbidden to ordinary periodic crystals. He has made numerous contributions to understanding their mathematical and physical properties.[5] Recently, he has helped develop a photonic quasicrystal (the quasicrystal analogue of a photonic crystal) for efficiently trapping and manipulating light in selected wavebands.
Honors and awards[edit]
Steinhardt was elected as a Fellow in the American Physical Society in 1986 in recognition of his important contributions to cosmology and to the theoretical understanding of quasicrystals.[6] He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1998,[7] for distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. In 2002, he was honored for his pivotal role as one of the original architects of the inflationary model of the Universe when he shared the prestigious P.A.M. Dirac Medal from the International Centre for Theoretical Physics with Alan Guth of MIT and Andrei Linde of Stanford. In 2010, Steinhardt received the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize of the American Physical Society for his pioneering contributions to the theory of quasicrystals, including the prediction of their diffraction pattern. In 2012, he received the John Scott Award for his work on quasicrystals, including the co-discovery of the first natural quasicrystal called icosahedrite during a successful geological expedition to Chukotka in Far Eastern Russia.[8] In 2012, Steinhardt was named Simons Fellow in Theoretical Physics;[9] Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard Fellow;[10] and was also invited to pursue his research at Caltech as a Moore Distinguished Scholar. In 2014, he received the Caltech Distinguished Alumni Award, which is the highest honor the Institute bestows upon its alumni.[11] In 2014, the International Mineralogical Association accepted a new mineral from the Khatyrka meteorite into the official catalogue of natural minerals,[12] and named it "steinhardtite" in his honor.[13]

Restaurants in Israel
Over the years, restaurants in Israel have gone well beyond the classic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean staples of falafel and shwarma (rotisserie meat) sandwiches. Most restaurants offer some level of kosher dining, so you may notice menus that offer dairy (like the fabulous local cheeses) or meat (just no pork)— but not both. Around Tel Aviv and near the beaches, you're more likely to find shellfish. Here are some of the best restaurants in Israel:
Darna. This Jerusalem eatery is acclaimed among Israel restaurants for expertly creating Moroccan cuisine and ambience, catering to the large Moroccan Jewish community that lives here.
Catit. This bold Tel Aviv restaurant showcases creative Israeli cuisine in multicourse gourmet meals—perhaps starting with calamari stuffed with lamb, and ending with an excellent version of the local dessert, the cheese pastry kadaif.
Bardak. It may not taste quite like the pies back in the States, but this cozy, friendly pizza-and-beer joint offers a great take on pizza Jerusalem-style.
Mantras. This popular restaurant in Jerusalem offers a Euro mix of Italian and French foods, s well as tapas, seafood and homemade bread. Just be sure to reserve ahead of time—or just come for a late dinner.
A wide variety of Middle Eastern-inflected seafood, served on a terrace steps from the Mediterranean.
Little Prague exults in a wonderful version of the Czech classic veprove koleno—a marinated and slow-roasted pork knuckle with a hint of rye, which in the hands of the chef is flaky and light. There is also a heroic schnitzel and excellent Staropramen and dark Kozel beer on tap.
Char-grilled seafood of all types.
In Israel, chickpea spread is sustenance, scooped up with freshly baked pita along with a whole constellation of condiments. At Ali Karavan (a.k.a. Abu Hassan), toppings range from foul (fava beans) and boiled eggs to sharp pickles.
The Mal'enkaya Rossiya (Little Russia) delicatessen has everything you need to re-create a serious Russian table in the Middle East.
An Italian restaurant on vibrant Rothschild Boulevard.
Tel Aviv was woefully lacking in quality kosher restaurants until the arrival of this upscale fish-and-dairy establishment in the city's industrial center.

How much do you weigh? Any injuries holding you back?
Printable View
About 170 at 6', with a pretty high fat percentage. I need to lose some weight. More than anything else, I believe a lack of time working at it is what's holding me back. I've always been naturally weaker than most people around me, and I never even knew it was possible for me to lift until a couple of years ago. I think I just need to train more. Edit: Those are my numbers for doing 5x5. Never tried to max out.
I just started lifting in the last month, first time I've been in a weight gym my whole life (in my defense I've been a competitive runner for most my life and have single digit BMI). Started all those lifts at the 45lb bar, still haven't hit max. Don't feel bad starting light, all that's important is that you're starting and working to the end. I felt like a real tool squatting a bar for a week, but...
..well I still feel like a tool when I'm told to just leave my weight on the bar for someone else to warm-up with, but I imagine it'll get better.
For the thread's sake (3x10):
Squat: 165lb
Bench: 135lb
5'8" - 155lbs - 21ya
I'm not making much progress with my bench anymore, but my squat still keeps going up and I still feel good with it. I'll return once I've maxed out and stopped being such a *****.
I had many shoulder problems, and quit benching for a while. I found some rehab videos on youtube, from smittydiesel, louie simmons, and ripptoe ( of course ). After doing some of the band work and l-flyes. I restarted benching, and it started hurting again. I decided to 'fix' my form, and found this video to be helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUcjOIZc80c
I am now benching more than ever, without all the shoulder pain. On the rare occasion that they get sore, I back off and start moving back up. Monday night I benched 290lbs for 10 reps and 315 for 6. Not record breakers, but I'm proud of them. I've similarly started fixing my squat form, and am hopeful to keep my back happy. Don't have a link to the vid, but there's an excellent one from Ripptoe about squat form.
Squat 5x5- 210
Bench 5x5- 165
DL 1x5- 275
22 5'10ish 168
Foot healed, and then I go and tear a ligament in my wrist the day I was supposed to renew my gym membership haha
Lost 20lbs bodyweight now that I've been out of training since July.
188 lbs 200lbs squat
I'm 5'9, and stay around 155 lbs. I haven't really squatted in 2.5 years (old knee problems from hockey) and don't competitively powerlift.
Best squat was 325x10. If it counts 720x10 on the seated squat press. I never really found my 1 rep max.
Current bench = 5x3 pause reps @ 200. Max out @ 235 lbs
- I was higher on max bench but I sprained my A.C. Joint in my shoulder, and my U.C. Ligament in my elbow in fall 2010 -

Publisher's Description
Today's subject is BackItUp, another backup solution from SOFTOTEC. We've already reviewed their ASIS Backup. "ASIS" operates on a very low system level that allows you to make exact backup copies of your disk volumes with all the operating systems and software installed. While this method lets you restore everything after a disk or system crash without re-installing Windows and other software, it is time-consuming and requires a re-boot to complete. You will probably not use it more often than once per month.
But, what about the documents, e-mail messages and other files that you create or receive between two complete backup sessions? They can be lost on a disk crash, virus attack, etc. You need a fast and simple backup program that you can put on a schedule to make daily backups of your folders containing important documents, pictures and e-mail messages. BackItUp is exactly the solution.
The program supports ZIP compression and is compatible with the 64-bit ZIP format. There is always a tradeoff between the resulting archive size and the compression speed. You can choose from several compression modes. I'd suggest that you create separate "tasks" (the program allows you to create multiple profiles called "backup tasks") for your documents and your binary files (images, archived software, etc.) Choose the Maximum compression for your documents and the Fastest compression for the binaries.

Apple cider donuts?
- 54
- Follow
So fall really seems like it is getting here, and I'm having my yearly craving for apple cider donuts. If I can get them at a pyo apple place, so much the better, but really I'm in it for the donuts. Where do you all like?
Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury. Their cider is also excellent and it's PYO....
Cider Hill Farm
45 Fern Ave, Amesbury, MA0 -
re: DoubleMan
Have to second, third, and fourth Russel Orchards. Get 'em fresh and hot out of the frier, and, as a bonus, you're a short drive away from Fried Clam and/or North Shore Roast Beef heaven.
There is PYO there, and delicious cider (also, a selection of regionally produced fruit wines). If you've got little kids, there are is a nice playground areas and farmyard animals to visit.
re: sablemerle
And I will fifth, sixth, and seventh it. I eat cider donuts every place I can find them, and Russell Orchards has the best anywhere. There is no competition.
Russell Orchards
143 Argilla Rd, Ipswich, MA 019380
I second Cidar Hill but the last few times I had them at Russell Orchards, they seemed underdone.
Russell Orchards
143 Argilla Rd, Ipswich, MA 019380 -
My current favorites (better than Russell IMHO, though they are also very good) are the ones at Cider Hill Farm, but it's a long way for me to go for doughnuts. I saw in another post (on my screen, it is actually linked below this post) that Ohlin's Bakery in Belmont has great cider doughnuts in the fall. I'm a fan of their regular doughnuts so I'm looking forward to trying the cider doughnuts. Can anyone report whether they have them yet this year?

Region-based reconstruction method for fluorescent molecular tomography
JOSA A, Vol. 27, Issue 10, pp. 2327-2336 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (542 KB)
A common difficulty for the traditional methods of fluorescent molecular tomographic (FMT) reconstruction is that only a small amount of measurements can be used to recover the image comprised of a large number of pixels. This difficulty not only leads to expensive computational cost but also likely results in an unstable solution prone to be affected by the noise in the measurement data. In this paper, we propose a region-based method for reducing the unknowns, where the target areas are determined by searching for the nearest neighbor nodes. In this method, the Hessian matrix of the second-order derivatives is incorporated to speed up the optimization process. An iteration strategy of multi-wavelength measurement is introduced to further improve the accuracy of inverse solutions. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach can significantly speed up the reconstruction process and improve the image quality of FMT.

The space shuttle Columbia broke up during re-entry today prior to landing. The vehicle was lost, and since it was 200,000 feet up at the time and going Mach 6, I seriously doubt there were any survivors, though that has not been officially confirmed and though I want nothing more than to be wrong. Terrorism is extremely unlikely. As some of you may know, I work at Kennedy Space Center. I went out to the landing site today to watch it land. Needless to say, this has been an absolutely horrible morning. I remember Challenger a little, but this hit much, much closer to home for me because I work out there now, and especially since one of the astronauts on board was from my hometown. I know this message isn't coherent. I've been in shock all morning. If you want coherency, turn to any news station. There isn't anything more that I can say. Please keep the crew and their families in your thoughts and, if you are religious, in your prayers. We'll never forget you, Columbia. Godspeed. -Katie
I had the enormous priviledge of watching the shuttle launch 2 weeks ago, it was beautiful. Their lives were lost in a beautiful act of humanity in engaging in one of the most dangerous acts humankind performs with the selfless intention of helping our species move into the future. I can think of no greater honor in death.
May God bless them, and let them find their way home to Heaven. My prayers to out to their families and friends as well.
Geez, Katie, I just got to this now. My big sister works for USA and she was absolutely devastated. I feel for both of you. I hope work has gotten somewhat back to normal.

New baby, college savings and student loans
Feb 15, 2012
My husband and I recently had our first child. We are considering opening a 529 plan for him, but between the two of us, we still have about $15,000 in college loan debt. Our student loans are locked in at a low interest rate (around 3 percent). On the one hand, we know that money invested in a 529 plan now will earn more over time than money invested later. On the other hand, it seems kind of odd to start saving for his college when we haven't finished paying for our own. Does it make more sense financially to open a 529 plan for him now, or to put the money we would have put into it toward paying off our own student loans first? Carol, Athens, GA
Bankruptcy lawyers warn of student loan 'debt bomb'
Feb 10, 2012
A new study reports that student debt in this country could be the next "debt bomb," a major economic threat not unlike the mortgage crisis. And this time, there's no way to get rid of the debt through bankruptcy.
$108,000 in student loans -- and still counting
Feb 8, 2012
The student loan debt burden is getting worse. The epicenter of trouble is so-called private student loans. It's time to take action on private student loans.
Rethinking hospital readmissions
Feb 8, 2012
Starting this fall, hospitals that readmit the same patients over and over in a short period of time will be fined. That has medical providers looking for better ways to keep people healthy when they're off hospital grounds.
Good education. Good job. Now what?
Feb 2, 2012
After close to a decade in graduate school, a post-doc, 24 job interviews, and almost as many rejections, I am elated to have started my first bone-fide adult job. Which in this day and age is not only a blessing, but a miracle, for which I am truly grateful for. While I have mastered the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular level, I am pretty clueless about how to manipulate my finances. My question: what should my financial priorities be? repayment of school loans? saving for retirement? putting money into an emergency fund?... Romas, Berkeley, CA

This week: Health care reform in 2012
Interview with
Jan 6, 2012
Marketplace's health reporter Gregory Warner discusses what parts of the health care reform law will come into effect this year.
Thinking about savings and debt
Jan 4, 2012
I've got a bunch of student loans, all at relatively low rates (3.5 percent and lower). I have just under $35,000 at this point. I've been auto-transferring money into my savings accounts -- for "emergency funds" as well as future goals such as a down payment, wedding, etc. I have around $48,000 total in savings (between those funds). That money is sitting in savings at less than 1 percent. Mathematically, it makes more sense to pay down the debt. But I'm not comfortable with decreasing my savings that much. How to I choose? Stephanie, Medford, MA
A law degree and student loans
Dec 28, 2011
I have both private and federal student loans from undergrad and law school... I was wondering if you have any advice as to how best to manage this debt? I'm 28 and single so my financial obligations are otherwise relatively minimal for now, but due to my debt-to-income ratio, I've been unable to really lay away much in the way of personal savings in the 3+ years I've been out of school, let alone start saving for retirement. I'd really appreciate any advice you might be able to give to someone in my situation. Thank you! Kira, New York, NY
Rehabilitating student loans
Dec 21, 2011
My fiancée has a student loan that defaulted but is now paying on it every month. She has been told that it can't be rehabbed because of the default (even though others that have defaulted can rehab a second time). She doesn't make that much money, and she is filing bankruptcy because of various debts. She knows she can't bankrupt the student loan. What are the options other than making regular monthly payments, or not paying? Brian, Waterville, ME

Apple to build 200K 15-in. MacBook Pros in April, 400K 13-in. units in June
Apple is gearing up to begin production of its new thinner and lighter MacBook Pros, with production of the new 15-inch model set to begin first in mid-April.Mass production of the new 15-inch MacBook Pro will see initial monthly shipments of 200,000 units, according to DigiTimes. The new notebooks are expected to be powered by Intel's next-generation Ivy Bridge processors.
On the heels of the new 15-inch model, Apple is expected to begin building the thinner 13-inch MacBook Pro in June. For the smaller variant, initial monthly shipments are expected to be greater, reportedly falling between 300,000 and 400,000 units.
The latest report is consistent with previous claims that the 15-inch MacBook Pro would go into production first, and could arrive as early as this month. But Tuesday's report also suggests initial shipments of the 15-inch model will be slightly greater than was previously expected, as earlier reports claimed that initial monthly shipments would be between 100,000 and 150,000.
AppleInsider reported in February that Apple is gearing up to introduce radically redesigned MacBook Pro models this year, borrowing the ultra-thin design the company pioneered with its MacBook Air. One person familiar with the new MacBook Pro designs indicated "they're all going to look like MacBook Airs."
Like the highly successful MacBook Air, the new MacBook Pros are expected to ditch the built-in optical drive, allowing them to have a thinner and lighter design.
Intel plans to release Ivy Bridge chips that are seen as likely candidates for Apple's next-generation Macs at the end of this month. In particular, new quad-core Ivy Bridge processors are expected to officially go on sale April 29.
Among those chips are the Core i7-3720QM and Core i7-3820QM, both of which have been rumored to make their way into Apple's MacBook Pro lineup. Both chips will feature Intel's HD 4000 integrated graphics.

Godsmack ups and downs.
We're stoked these guys have been able to work through their past issues, it happens to just about every band. See Godsmack at Pain In The Grass 2014! Dig full Pain details!
GODSMACK: Lucky We Made It This Far
Sully Erna
says the band almost split up at multiple points over the past 15 years.
Erna tells
, "At first it was just the learning curve of having the band hit big and being on the road relentlessly." He says that the fighting prompted the band to take a drastic step. "At one point we brought in therapists and everything to work with the band. Because we lost the brotherhood. We lost the love for the music and for each other and we were fighting so much. It was just a mess. Luckily for us, we got over some of those mountains."
Erna says the next time things got bad was when the other three members put out the
Another Animal
project in 2007. He admits, "After the
record [came out in 2006], there were times when
] was really bent with me because he got to a place where he started to write more, and he wanted more of his stuff on the records... So we would pick half of his stuff and half of mine and try to make a hybrid of it. But for some reason he would take it personally when I didn't pick this song or that song of his. And so then the guys went and built a record [Another Animal] off of stuff that we didn't use but could have probably revisited later. And that created a lot of [crap]."
However, Erna says things are all good now. "We went through it, had it out and talked things through. And we realized that we have a really special brand here and it would be foolish to not get past this stuff... We're getting along better than ever. We're tighter than we were when we first met. And that's the god's honest truth."

AFRICA/CENTRAL AFRICA - "A situation never seen before in Central Africa," says Mgr. Nzapalainga
Bangui (Agenzia Fides) - "A situation never seen before in our Country" said His Exc. Mgr. Dieudonné Nzapalainga, Archbishop of Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic, in an interview with the "Journal de Bangui" on the eve of his departure for Rome, where on June 29, he will receive the pallium from Pope Francis.
As reported by Fides (see Fides 25/06/2013) Bishops of Central Africa met recently to take stock of the dramatic situation in the Country. Mgr. Nzapalainga stresses that all Bishops have stated that in their individual dioceses, the situation is so dramatic that it can be summed up with the phrase "never seen before" due to the level of destruction caused by the rebels Seleka.
"Never seen before" regarding the destruction of civilian property and the administration of the State (in particular the archives. "What drives these people to annihilate the memory by burning administrative documents and other archives?" the Archbishop wonders). Such a fury against the Christians, Catholics and Protestants has "Never been seen before". The structures of the Church were heavily affected, at least a hundred vehicles of dioceses and missions were stolen, to the point that His Excellency Juan José Aguirre Munos, Bishop of Bangassou is forced to move on foot to carry out his pastoral service ( see Fides 05/06/2013).
"Never seen before " in terms of numbers of mercenaries in the ranks of the rebellion living off the exhausted Central African population.
Mgr. Nzapalainga will testify all of this to the Holy Father, together with the hope and the desire to restore peace in the Country.
"My hope - says the Archbishop of Bangui- is to see the unity of the Central African Republic. That all its children, all of its regions, all of its tribe, all its ethnic groups can feel they are Central Africans, because unity gives strength". "It is time to challenge our selfish interests and to seek what unites us," concluded Mgr. Nzapalainga. (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 28/06/2013)
- 2015-02-24 - "Our country can be compared to a desert, where we must combat the temptations of the devil" says Archbishop Nzapalainga
- 2015-02-06 - "The conflict is political not religious" say three participants
