Installing a new humidifier
Thomas - Bluemont, VA
Service was prompt (next day from call) and Jeremy identified the problem. However, after installation there was a bunch of wires sticking out which look very sloppy and possibly dangerous? Sent pics to Kevin and emailed office twice but no return calls.
Service Call
Mr. Ross - WInchester, va
The service inspection was excellent! Since it was a final inspection of an installation done a year ago there was no additional cost involved. The service technician originally dispatched to the job was not thoroughly familiar with the mini-split unit a different technician had to return on a later day. Admittedly, this was a minor inconvenience. I would recommend Lou Who Contracting without reservation.

Electric resonance-rectifier circuit for renewable energy conversion
Variable speed generators are used more frequently for converting the energy from renewable energy sources to electric energy. The power production form a variable speed generator is dependent on the electrical damping of the generator. In this paper, a resonance circuit connected to a direct driven linear generator used for waveenergy utilization is investigated. At resonance, the electrical damping in the generator increases which results in an increased power production. The results show that resonance can be achieved with the suggested circuit.

I'd like to clarify something. The rules which you are referring to are not ALES League rules. They are the Altitude Limited Electric Soaring rules that have provisional status with the AMA and can be seen here. The ALES League follows those rules so that participants can compete on a level playing field.
Neither the ALES League nor the originators of the ALES format have ever claimed that this should be the only format of electric soaring based on altitude limitations just as RES or TD or F3J don't claim that they are the only form of winch based soaring. Randy |

I'm fully aware of exactly how this came to be. I was the LSF Treasurer for the previous 4 years, have been part of the LSF-AMA Nats management team for nearly 20 years, and a CD for 31 years. Jim Deck and I tried (unsuccessfully) to try to incorporate electric launched sailplanes into the LSF soaring and accomplishment program. The point of my reply was that artificial limitations are just that, artificial. This kind of thinking will not help electric launched sailplanes become commonly accepted and practiced within the general soaring competition community. The more options there are, the more rapidly various soaring communites will be able to adapt and adopt the concept. Finally, I don't care if its called ALES, WALES, SNAILS or anything else. We're talking electric launched sailplanes, and until the acronym ALES contains specific language restricting it to one type of competition, it will continue to become a more mainstream term for electric launched sailplanes.

I suppose all this griping could be fixed by the CVRC club scrubbing the "ALES" from the Fall Fest, how would that make everyone feel? If I didn't know better, I would think there were a bunch of old women flying models, good grief, get a grip! (And those who know me know I am really holding back here!)

ALES Friday
We are going offer an ALES M.O.M. event on Friday the 5th before the Fall Fest. So set your limiters for 200m and join in for another day soaring fun. Kent Nogy <firstname.lastname@example.com> is the man with Mark Taylor and Al Strahm as backup. We have three major sponsors for this event. Horizon Hobby, Soaring USA and Kennedy Composites. There donations will be what your flying for. There will be a $20.00 entry fee. Sign up at the field Friday morning. Pilots meeting at 11:30 with flying at noon. This should give all who need time to travel. Nothing changes for Saturday and Sunday. This is an addition too. The top lawn will be closed to all practice during the event. But the basin will be mowed and open for those who choose. see ya at the field |

Al, does this mean the ALES launch/landing could be playing dodge-plane with those play/practice flying from the basin? There are usually some on the north side basin with winches/histarts setup, and this could conflict. JT |

Amazing Gift May 19, 2014
I have sent these chimes three times, every time they were well received. I have seen them in person - they're beautiful. They send a great message and bring peacefullness I am sure. I love wind chimes. I love how fast they can be engraved and delivered after ordering. Speaks volumes for this company.

Better than flowers January 10, 2013
I am always reluctant to send flowers for funerals or any other occasion; they don't leave a lasting memory or impression. this is why I LOVE Gift Tree!
I sent these wind chimes to a friends family when his dad, who loved gardening, passed. The engraving was a beautiful touch, although a few extra letters who have been nice. The momento compartment allowed the grandchild to place their personal momentos. All in all it was a gift the entire family could share, enjoy, and remember for a longer time than flowers.
I was told that the quality was amazing and the chime tones were soothing. -

Unique way to remember a loved one December 28, 2012
What a unique way to remember a loved one. I purchased this for a co-worker who recently lost their mother. It was well received by the recipient. My only negative is I wished there were just a bit more room for personalization. I was a few characters short of what I wanted it to say. Overall, great product. Would recommend.

Perfect Gift May 9, 2012
I was looking for a gift that was different for a friends Dad who had passed away and was being cremated.I know he loved their garden and thought this was the appropriate gift.
Flowers die and fruit baskets weren't going to cut it with someone who had allergies.
I was told by the receprient that the sound of the chimes was not your normal tinning chime but a soothing almost Asian sound. -

The Marine Corps is investigating that video that appears to show four Marines joking while urinating on the bodies of three Taliban men. Dressed in full combat gear and holding rifles at their sides, the four Marines stand over the corpses outside, near an overturned wheelbarrow. The warriors start urinating on the bloodied bodies, and one says, "Have a great day, buddy." Another says, "Golden – like a shower." The whole thing lasts only 39 second video went viral on the Internet s and it's already gone viral, sparking comparisons with the photos of soldiers posing with naked captives at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Thursday condemned a video depicting what appears to be four U.S. Marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters. A presidential statement described the act as "completely inhumane" and called on the U.S. military to punish the Marines. A Taliban spokesman said that while the images were shocking, the tape would not affect talks or a rumored prisoner release. "This is not the first time we see such brutality," said spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid. Meanwhile, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan described the acts depicted in the video as "disrespectful" and "inexplicable." "This behavior dishonors the sacrifices and core values of every service member representing the 50 nations of the coalition," ISAF said in a statement, adding that a U.S. criminal investigation had been launched.
More from Luis MARTINEZ: The Obama administration has decided to talk about the secret talks it has had with the Taliban over the past year, perhaps to help get Afghan President Karzai on board. Various articles published today (WSJournal, NYTimes, WPost) all note how the U.S. has been struggling to get the Taliban and Karzai's government to come to the table. And as Kirit RADIA adds, Secretary Clinton announced Senior Representative for Afghanistan-Pakistan Marc Grossman will head to Afghanistan to see if Karzai will give his blessing for the talks. Meanwhile, the Taliban said today it is ready to enter peace talks – but that the armed struggle will continue. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the militants had been fighting for 15 years to establish an Islamic government in Afghanistan "We have increased our political efforts to come to mutual understanding with the world in order to solve the current ongoing situation," Mujahid said in an emailed statement. "But this understanding does not mean a surrender from Jihad."
-JAPAN AGREES TO REDUCE OIL IMPORTS…Japan announced today it will start to reduce oil imports from Iran "as quickly as possible", in support of US sanctions against Tehran over its disputed nuclear program. Finance Minister Jun Azumi made the announcement after a one-hour meeting with visiting U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Akiko FUJITA reports Tokyo has asked the U.S. to waive sanctions for Japanese banks in exchange for curbing oil imports.
-THE "SHADOW WAR"…As arguments flare in Israel and the United States about a possible military strike to set back Iran's nuclear program, an accelerating covert campaign of assassinations, bombings, cyberattacks and defections appears intended to make that debate irrelevant, according to current and former American officials and specialists on Iran. The NY Times writes that the campaign, which experts believe is being carried out mainly by Israel, apparently claimed its latest victim in that Wednesday attack on a 32-year-old nuclear scientist in Tehran's morning rush hour. He was at least the fifth scientist with nuclear connections to be killed since 2007; a sixth scientist, Fereydoon Abbasi, survived a 2010 attack and was put in charge of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization
-AHMADINEJAD'S LATIN AMERICA TOUR…The Iranian President is expected in Quito today, on the final leg of a Latin American visit that has seen him stop in Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and now Ecuador. Ahmadinejad meets his counterpart Rafael Correa.
Habibullah KHAN reports Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari left for Dubai today on a scheduled one-day trip amid growing tensions over a memo that emerged last October seeking U.S. help in preventing a military coup. Zardari could face impeachment proceedings if a judicial commission in Pakistan's Supreme Court finds a link between him and the memo.
-BACK TO THE BIRTHPLACE – ONE YEAR LATER…It all began in Tunisia one year ago - when a street vendor named Mohammed Bouazizi set himself on fire – and today a disturbing look at one of the aftershocks in that country. The BBC says the head of the burns unit in a Tunis hospital told them that 137 Tunisians have set themselves on fire in the year after the revolution. Self-immolations have increased 500% since Bouazizi lit the match.
-SYRIA ON THE FRENCH JOURNALIST…Alex MARQUARDT reports: An "I told you so" from Syria, which said today (via SANA), "The Ministry of Information stresses that the act [that killed French reporter Gilles Jacquier] is an extension of the terror chain Syria is exposed to, adding that it comes in the context of the terrorists' bid to distort the real image of what is happening in Syria." Meanwhile, a second Arab League observer tells Reuters that he is ready to walk out. "I am trying to leave on Friday…because the mission is unclear…It does not serve the citizens. It does not serve anything." This comes a day after Algerian Anwar Malek called the mission a "farce."
-YEMEN: THE FIGHT AGAINST THE WEED…From MARQUARDT again: The ubiquitous leafy drug Qat is the target of a Yemeni campaign today aimed at stemming its engrained and widespread use. #NoQatJan12 is the hashtag being used on Twitter. Critics of Yemen's most popular plant and important cash crop say it destroys productivity in the poverty-stricken country, takes up too much land and water.
It's now official: The Dear Leader Kim Jong Il will lie in state at Pyongyang's Kumsusan Memorial Palace, where the embalmed body of his father has been lying since 1995. Meanwhile, the Daily NK reported North Korean authorities have begun to punish citizens who did not display enough sadness at his death.
The New York Times reports there's dispute over the accuracy of the Mexican government's report that 47, 515 people have been killed in drug-related violence since late 2006. The numbers are staggering, but some believe they may be even higher.
While we worry about nuclear programs from Tehran to Pyongyang, a new study measures precautions taken by countries to protect nuclear materials. The study is full of surprises and potential embarrassments: for instance, Australia takes first place in nuclear security and Japan comes in at #23, behind nations like Kazakhstan and South Africa.
Akiko FUJITA reports Fukushima will begin taking breast milk samples from 10,000 mothers to test for radiation. Specifics have not been released, but the test will be offered to concerned mothers, and will be paid for by the prefecture. The government has conducted similar tests before, though on a much smaller scale. Last summer, the Health Ministry found traces of radioactive cesium in breast milk samples taken from 7 of 21 tested. The AP recently reported that more than 200 nationwide parent network groups have popped up, to demand stricter standards – an incredible number, in a country where activism is frowned upon.
From Alexandra NADEZHDINA in Moscow: Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has proposed greater accountability of the government, promised liberalization of society, higher wages and pensions, and a proactive foreign policy ahead of presidential elections slated for March 4, which he is determined to win. Putin called for the creation of a system of administrative courts to be set up to hear complaints by citizens against the state. "We will simplify the review of complaints by citizens against the state, and create administrative courts for this," Putin stated on Thursday in his preelection manifesto posted on the new putin2012.com website. "We will guarantee the accountability of the state to the citizens its serves. We will create an effective mechanism of civil control over the activities of the state in these spheres most vulnerable to corruption: state purchases, domestic utility charges, road construction, [and] law enforcement."
More from NADEZHDINA: In an article published in The Guardian, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov said the era "of managed democracy" in Russia is dead and recent protests against allegedly fraudulent parliamentary elections prove that the country is "undergoing a true awakening." "The genie is out of the bottle and it's not going back in." Speaking about the possible transition of power in Russia, Prokhorov said he hoped that revolution would not be an option adding that he is for "evolution, not revolution."
The Russian Federal Space Agency is getting specific about that Phobos-Grunt Mars probe: the latest – it will fall into the Indian Ocean at 1:18 p.m. Moscow time on January 15. Some 20-30 fragments with a total weight of roughly 400 pounds may reach earth.
Clark BENTSON flags this: European Union Home Affairs Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom has in her first-ever tweet attacked Barack Obama for keeping Guantanamo Bay's prison open for 10 years after it was launched. She said it is "a disgrace that prisoners are still held [without] trial. President Obama, time to live up to your promise." She is @MalmstromEU — and as Clark notes, Ms. Malmstrom is a well respected member of the commission from Sweden a potential candidate to be the President of the EU someday.
Two years ago today, a 7.0 magnitude quake shook the small Caribbean country for 35 seconds and created 10 million cubic meters of rubble and killed an estimated 300,000 people. It's a sober day — and a national holiday — in Port-au-Prince. The Wall Street Journal looks at how the country is still plagued by disorganization and government inaction. Meanwhile, the Guardian reports UN figures show that only half of the promised aid has been delivered. NGOs and aid agencies warned this week of a "severe funding shortage…threatening recovery programs in the country." Still there are optimists on the ground – notably the doctor and great Haiti advocate Paul Farmer, who tells the Washington Post: "Recovery is here. It is painfully slow, it is agonizing to watch, but it is recovery." Farmer's group, Partners in Health, is opening a modern, 320-bed public teaching hospital an hour north of the Haitian capital. Meanwhile, Matther MOSK and Brian ROSS update a story we broke on the claims that UN relief workers may have brought cholera to the quake-ravaged nation.
The Wall Street Journal writes Continental Airlines has few options for stemming a spate of unscheduled fuel stops on its flights from Europe to the U.S. short of adding auxiliary fuel tanks. The airline previously considered doing that, but ultimately rejected the plan because it would cut into luggage storage space.
Akiko FUJITA reports a 40-year-old Chinese convict escaped from a Hiroshima prison Wednesday, climbing over two walls, one of them a 16 foot fence, and ran off – in his underwear. It took the prison an hour to realize the man had escaped because there was only one office monitoring 98 surveillance cameras. The escaped prisoner is still missing and there are no updates on his whereabouts, but nearly 800 officers have been looking for him. Akiko also notes the Japanese police have had to answer to a series of blunders already this month. They initially turned away the country's most wanted fugitive when he tried to surrender New Year's Eve. Earlier this week, a Taiwanese man wanted for the murder of 2 Taiwanese students in Japan committed suicide shortly after he was arrested. He was apparently carrying a knife with him, but authorities failed to search him properly, and did not handcuff him.
From Phoebe NATANSON in Rome: La Stampa reports that Turin will soon build a prototype of what is being billed as the phone booth of the future…now that most phone booths have been removed from cities. The phone booth of the future will allow one to phone, use internet, charge electric scooters and cars and will be powered by solar panels.

Most recognizers can be broken down into the following steps:
Audio recording and Utterance detection
Pre-Filtering (pre-emphasis, normalization, banding, etc.)
Framing and Windowing (chopping the data into a usable format)
Filtering (further filtering of each window/frame/freq. band)
Comparison and Matching (recognizing the utterance)
Action (Perform function associated with the recognized pattern)
Although each step seems simple, each one can involve a multitude of different (and sometimes completely opposite) techniques.
(1) Audio/Utterance Recording: can be accomplished in a number of ways. Starting points can be found by comparing ambient audio levels (acoustic energy in some cases) with the sample just recorded. Endpoint detection is harder because speakers tend to leave "artifacts" including breathing/sighing,teeth chatters, and echoes.
(2) Pre-Filtering: is accomplished in a variety of ways, depending on other features of the recognition system. The most common methods are the "Bank-of-Filters" method which utilizes a series of audio filters to prepare the sample, and the Linear Predictive Coding method which uses a prediction function to calculate differences (errors). Different forms of spectral analysis are also used.
(3) Framing/Windowing involves separating the sample data into specific sizes. This is often rolled into step 2 or step 4. This step also involves preparing the sample boundaries for analysis (removing edge clicks, etc.)
(4) Additional Filtering is not always present. It is the final preparation for each window before comparison and matching. Often this consists of time alignment and normalization.
There are a huge number of techniques available for (5), Comparison and Matching. Most involve comparing the current window with known samples. There are methods that use Hidden Markov Models (HMM), frequency analysis, differential analysis, linear algebra techniques/shortcuts, spectral distortion, and time distortion methods. All these methods are used to generate a probability and accuracy match.
(6) Actions can be just about anything the developer wants. *GRIN*

I have some floating chains of something in my glass yeast starter. Some look like the top of a palmtree and others just look like a floating chain of an organism. Can't really take a good picture of it but my concern is whether its my Ale yeast or a different bacteria. The yeast is bottle sediment that I poured into sugar water
First, adding yeast to plain sugar water will reduce its ability to consume maltose. THis is bad. If you want to harvest from a bottle, first let the bottle settle in your fridge for several weeks, then open and pour all but the last oz or so into a glass. Then flame the bottle opening and pour into a 1.030 starter made with dme or lme. You will have to step up the starter several times in order to grow enough yeast for a 5 gallon batch. Also keep in mind that professional breweries don't necessarily bottle with the same yeast they use for fermentation.
Ok thanks

Wondering if there is a Mac Trial version. Thanks
Hello Marc,
Your Logo software looks interesting and friendly too. I have a few question though.
Can I install the software on more than one Mac for a single purchase, as I have a laptop and desktop?
Do you sell the CD?
If not, what happens if the software gets corrupted or whatever and I need to re-install it, how does it work?thank you,

ACCOUNTG 592 - Corporate Financial Reporting
Course Overview – Watch FAQ VIDEO HERE
When companies report financial performance to the capital market, do you understand and believe what management communicates? This course gives you the skills to rigorously evaluate and understand corporate financial reporting. Earnings press releases from corporate management and related media coverage attempt to explain and interpret reported accounting numbers. Are the accounting numbers being managed? How can you tell? How do incentives of managers and other market participants like financial analysts and regulators influence reported performance? For accounting numbers to be managed and for incentives to play a role, there must be some level of discretion in the financial accounting system. As such, in this course we identify and study the areas of financial reports that require the most managerial discretion. These areas naturally include accounting estimations that span multiple periods, including long term revenue recognition, long term receivables, restructurings, contingent liabilities, leases, uncertain tax positions, stock based compensation, pensions and derivatives.
This course is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in consulting, credit and equity analysis, investment and commercial banking, and any other career where an understanding of financial reporting is part of the decision making process.
Course Requirements
Readings, exercises, and problems and cases are assigned for each class. Lectures, handouts, and course pack materials summarize background information and technical issues. Assigned problems and cases are the major focus of class discussion. Grades will be determined based on two quizzes, three assignments, class participation and a comprehensive final examination.
Representative Topics
Contract Revenue Recognition and Channel Stuffing
Reserves, Securitization and Contingencies
Pension and Post Retirement Obligations
Deferred Taxes, Valuation Allowances and Uncertain Tax Positions
Leasing (including synthetic leases)
Stock Options
Strategic Stock Repurchases & Earnings Per Share
Representative Readings
The principal textbook is Financial Reporting and Analysis by Revsine, Collins, Johnson and Mittelstaedt (5th Edition), McGraw-Hill Irwin.

May the Force be with you. An armed society is a polite society - Robert HeinleinA Gun-Free-Zone is nothing more than a hunting preserve for wackos.
jgoertz : You are right . JimRau : You are mistaken on this point . Let me explain : The constitution specifies the authority of the government ( now including state government ) . The Bill of Rights thus protects the citizen from and only from government actions. That doesn't mean an employer can violate your rights willy nilly but it does mean the Second Amendment doesn't require your employer to allow you to be armed or to wear biker colors at work etc. In fact, an employer can question you about thefts without advising you of your rights and fire you for refusing to answer questions and cooperate in an investigation. Courts can allow evidence gathered by a private citizen during a warrantless search . Where I see a problem is in Public Schools . An employee of a Public School is being disarmed by the government as a condition of working for his government and I say his Second Amendment rights are violated .
An armed society is not always a polite society, but it is a free and safe society! Self Defense is an absolute and natural right! Keep your head down and your powder dry!
locutus : JimRau is right ( even if he is being sarcastic ) . Most of the civil rights laws are unconstitutional . Private businesses are supposed to be free to do business with whoever they want . That doesn't mean I favor discrimination ; it is simply that government has limited powers under our Constitution . The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits discrimination by the government .
"To sit back hoping that someday, someway, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last--but eat you he will." Ronald Reagan
All the media attention has been on exploiting this for gun control . Wayne La Pierre of the NRA has discussed video games , movies and other factors . He has not gotten the coverage he deserves .

Published 6:01pm Saturday, March 2, 2013Yes, I would like to say congratulations to State Senator Bingham for proposing that voluntary Bible education in high school. I think the Atheists and the non-Christians, who are only a very few, can move to California, New York or Vermont, somewhere like that. Thank you, Senator.
I have been a Christian all my life. The problem with the school systems today is they don't need another course, they don't need another elective course, they need fewer outside distractions. They need courses that teach them to cope in the world when they graduate. Don't add more problems for the teachers. The teachers have problems enough now just educating their children to read, write, understand mathematics, understand science, understand the new the things that are coming along. Don't give them any more problems than they already have. Thank you.

pick on poteat? fine and dandy yes, jaguars probably did throw to his side, did some double moves on him too. how many points did they get? i swear hank poteat is the patriots talisman for the SB. it's a lock now, baybee. by the way my hero was back in classes at Pitt when BB/SP called. supposedly he'd really given it up this time. he's another of Bill Cowher's castoffs. was drafted on the THIRD ROUND by steelers, actually did a nice job with punt returns. got released after 3 years, wias with bucanneers, then out of football.
He was also working as a personal trainer, besides being in school. He used to post last year and attitude-wise is a very impressive guy. IMO, he is symbolic of the quality of players on the "shadow roster" who come back to contribute in necessary roles.

Cloud9 IDE Builds Online Development Environment With Red Hat OpenShift
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that Cloud9 IDE has built its online development environment with Red Hat's OpenShift Online hosted Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution. By integrating OpenShift Online into its original online development environment, Cloud9 IDE is able to deliver more flexibility, security and ease of use to developers.
Cloud9 IDE is an online development environment for Javascript and Node.js applications as well as HTML, CSS, PHP, Java, Ruby and 23 other languages. It is designed for developers looking for a modern and secure IDE that strives to work efficiently by having their code accessible online from anywhere via Cloud9 IDE workspaces. Launched in March 2011, Cloud9 IDE quickly took steps to expand the functionality it initially offered developers with its online environment, hoping to offer a user workflow with the ability to develop and deploy runtime code from the same online platform on which it had been developed. Cloud9 IDE hoped to give developers a more robust offering, combining editing tools and the runtime environment into a single platform, all within the cloud.
Looking to collaborate with another leading vendor to enhance its platform, Cloud9 IDE selected Red Hat for its OpenShift Online offering. One of the many reasons it selected OpenShift Online was for the inherent security provided through the PaaS solution's inclusion of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Today, by leveraging OpenShift Online containers, Cloud9 IDE workspaces provide developers with a single online place to store, run and configure their files, all while offering a full terminal and full shell access into the container. While inside a workspace, a user can access Cloud9 IDE and complete the same functions that can be done on a desktop or laptop machine. In addition to security, the switch to OpenShift Online provides a cost-efficiency benefit as it offers a multi-tenant model where multiple workspaces run on the same virtual machine.

When people I don't know find out what I do for a living, they're naturally curious about my thoughts on diet and nutrition.
Which diet do I follow? Am I vegan? Vegetarian? Paleo? Do I eat gluten? What about dairy?
And the most popular…
What diet do I recommend my clients follow?
When it comes to this last question, I rarely ever have a simple, concise or neatly wrapped up answer because the truth is, it really depends.
Personally my own diet has evolved over the years as I've learned and discovered what works best for my body, largely through experimentation. Even though the specifics of what I eat may change on any given day, there are certain underlying principles that guide my choices. These mainly revolve around optimizing digestion and supporting my body's natural detoxification capabilities (because what comes out is just as important as what goes in!).
I'm not a fan of diet labels (more on that here) and prefer to stick to my guns rather than follow any hard or fast rules. I view most nutritional approaches and diets as templates that need to be tweaked, tailored and adjusted based on the individual. And I'm very conscious of the fact that how I eat is just as important as what I eat.
I think it's great when people can collect the golden nuggets from various nutritional approaches without having to necessarily adopt the whole approach in its entirety – and by the same token, not feeling the need to discredit an entire nutritional approach because they disagree with one aspect of it.
So then…what's the best diet?
In my opinion, the best diets share the following themes:
- They focus on food quality
- They account for individuality (no all or nothing!)
- They eliminate nutritional deficiencies
- They focus on optimizing digestion while supporting detoxification
- They control appetite and leave you feeling satiated
- They're sustainable over the long-run
- They're enjoyable and (of course) support your overall health
As you likely gathered, there's not just one diet or approach that could potentially fit this bill!
So what type of diet do I recommend that my clients follow?
Well before making any recommendations or putting together a plan, here are the factors I first take into account:
- Current health status
- Health/diet history
- Goals
- Age/lifestage
- Food sensitivities/and tolerance
- Digestive capability
- Nutrition knowledge
- Food preferences
- Work/Social schedule
- Activity level
- Cultural/religious traditions and beliefs
- Budget and food availability
As you can clearly see there are many factors that come into play before I make recommendations. This is why I spend at least 90 minutes in the first session with new clients asking questions and really getting to know them before I customize a plan of action.
Just as there's no one perfect diet for everybody, I think it's also important to keep in mind that there are different nutrition approaches that can work for any one person at various points in their life depending on the factors mentioned above.
So as you can clearly see, when it comes to the best diet, it really does depend!
Much love,

More specifically, it's the core "folding" as the pressure of the heavy weight overcomes the bracing pressure you're able to exert with your core to support your torso.
That's where this exercise comes into play…and it targets that issue VERY specifically. When done consistently, you could absolutely increase your deadlift by 20 to 50 lbs or more, depending on how limiting your core is to start with AND you'll be able to maintain better lumber spine position as you're lifting, which will protect your back.

The following ice fishing tips can help you have a successful outing.
Before you venture out onto a wintry lake or pond, make certain that the water's frozen surface is thick enough to hold you! Six inches of solid (not slushy, or so "rotten" that it's brittle) ice is considered the minimum thickness to support an adult safely.
Your time on the lake will be more pleasant (and, because a comfortable fisherman tends to miss fewer strikes, more productive) if you take a few steps to weatherproof yourself. Warm clothing is, of course, essential when ice fishing. Many anglers wear snowmobile suits, or a number of insulating layers of lighter clothes. A canvas-covered knockdown windbreak can also help keep the chills away. Make one from scrap lumber, pre-drilled and assembled with bolts and wing nuts ... so you can put it together—wearing mittens—on the ice and take it apart to haul back to shore on a sled. And, if you want to carry a little warmth with you, just fill a metal bucket about 1/4 full of sand and ad charcoal or sticks for an instant heater (you'll probably need charcoal lighting fluid—or paper and some good reliable kindling—to get your bucket stove going).
Lots of fisherfolk don't know that you can often actually peer down into the water beneath your drilled or chipped-open fishin' hole—and find out if any fish are lurkin' there—by simply throwing a dark cloth over yourself and the hole!
It stands to reason (usually, anyway) that a concentration of anglers indicates the presence of hungry fish. The novice ice fisherman or woman can often "follow the crowds" to big catches. Of course, good manners demand that the newcomer not crowd other folks, so don't drill your hole closer than 20 yards from another angler's without an invitation. You'll also find that the "regulars" on any lake or pond will usually be willing to share information about choice baits, worthwhile locations, and so forth ... that you might not pick up on your own in several seasons of fishing!
Although most any fishing rod can be used for angling through the ice, a short pole (between two and three feet in length) will enable you to sit nearly over the hole and respond immediately to the slightest nibble. A light line (two- to four-pound—test) and small hooks (anywhere from No. 6 to No. 14) are the best choices for small trout or panfish, but—if you're after large pike or lake trout—use 10 to 15 pound—test monofilament and a hefty hook ... from No. 4 on up, depending on the size of your bait. (Instructions for making your own rods and tip-ups can be found in the MOTHER EARTH NEWS' article "Food Without Farming.")
(Esox lucius) Range: Throughout most North American ice fishing waters.Size: From an average of about two feet in length to a maximum of about four feet.Bait: Wobbling spoons (the Dardevle brand is a good choice) or perch or suckers of under ten inches length.
(Salmo gairdneri) Range: Throughout North American ice fishing waters.Size: From an average of about a pound to a maximum of 40 pounds.Bait: Worms, grubs, minnows, artificial flies, spoons, or salmon egg baits (Pautzke's brand green label "Balls O' Fire" are especially effective lures).
(Perca flavescens) Range: Throughout North American ice fishing waters.Size: From an average of under one pound to a maximum of more than four pounds.Bait: Grubs, worms, small jigs or spoons, artificial flies, or minnows.
(Catostomus commersonni) Range: East of the Rocky Mountains (related species throughout North American ice fishing waters).Size: From an average of about a foot in length to a maximum of about 30 inches.Bait: Worms, grubs, or prepared cheese, marshmallow, bread, or salmon egg baits.
(Osmerus mordox) Range: Although they're saltwater fish, smelt have been introduced into all the Great Lakes.Size: From an average of between six and nine inches to a maximum of about 14 inches.Bait: Grubs, worms, small jigs, artificial flies.
(Lepomis macrochirus)Range: Throughout North American ice fishing waters.Size: From an average of under one pound to a maximum of over four pounds.Bait: Grubs, worms, small jigs, artificial flies, or small minnows.

Seymour eliminates Electra from playoffs
Panthers to face Winters in semifinals
Seymour's bats are heating up at an ideal time.
The Panthers pieced together 12 hits and ran the bases with precision, eliminating Electra with a 10-4 victory in Game 2 of their Region I-A quarterfinal series Saturday at Hoskins Field.
Seymour coach Brian Bibb called this postseason "probably the best two-game stretch we've had" at the plate. The Panthers scored 17 runs in pulling off a sweep of the District 7-A champions.
The Panthers (14-6) advance to the regional semifinals and will face Winters, which swept Fort Hancock. Electra's successful season ends at 15-5.
After winning the opener 7-2 on Friday night, the Panthers came out strong Saturday with a four-run first inning off the Tigers' Tylor Bowden.
"We knew we needed to put some runs up," Bibb said. "I think that really set the tone because before they could do anything about it, it was already in a pretty hard-to-manage position for them."
That situation became more daunting when Cameron Montgomery's two-run double down the left-field line chased Bowden in the fourth. That was the start of a five-run spurt, extending Seymour's lead to 10-1.
Two errors didn't help the Tigers, who allowed a couple more runs in the fourth on wild pitches.
Seymour's Nos. 2-5 hitters went 9 for 15 in Game 2 with eight runs and four RBIs. Brayden Winn had singles in all four of his at-bats, while Andrew Brown and Montgomery both went 2 for 4. Brown scored three times, while Montgomery drove in three runs.
Electra couldn't match that production at the plate, although the Tigers left the bases loaded in the first and fifth innings. Zach Barton (7-1) earned the win by holding Electra to a run on three hits in four innings.
"We needed to win Game 1, and it was real hard for us to get motivated again to come out and play today," Electra coach Tim Hoff said. "We did the best that we could. Our hitting kind of fizzled out last series at the end, and we just really didn't get started in this series."
After Electra scored twice off Montgomery in the top of the fifth, Seymour sent Cody Adams — who had struck out 14 in Friday's win — to the mound in the sixth.
In the previous inning, Adams had recorded an assist from center field on a close play at the plate that helped squash the Tigers' rally. And he didn't give up a hit in the last two innings, striking out four.
Lost in the Panthers' sweep was how well they ran the bases. Seymour had 10 swipes in the series and also took extra bases on throws from the outfield several times.
"We always practice every single day baserunning, just taking advantage of those situations," Adams said. "Moving extra runners and getting runs in. It definitely pays off in big games like this one."
Bowden gave up nine runs (seven earned) on nine hits and three walks. He led Electra at the plate with two hits and a run. Austin Borton had an RBI single and Blaze Lynn put the Tigers up 1-0 early on a sacrifice fly.
Despite getting swept, the Tigers had a memorable season, earning the school's first district title in 29 years.
"They exceeded my expectations with winning district, and then to go in and win a playoff series, we hadn't done that in a while," Hoff said. "We played hard, came out and kept fighting. There's just no give in them. We fell short in our hitting, and that's something we'll have to improve on next year if we want to go a couple of rounds deeper."

My Boyfriend Hates My Sofa
Frank and I bought a new couch today. I'm aware that that sounds sort of boring, but we are not the kinds of people that can afford to just go and buy a new couch whenever the mood strikes. In fact, the money for this one was a birthday gift to Frank from his mother, which was very generous of her.
But: the real reason it is so exciting to get a new couch is that from the moment it arrived in our apartment, Frank has hated our old couch. I mean hated. To be fair, it is a shitty couch. It's from Ikea, which I'm sure you are all aware varies highly in quality from product to product, and is pretty much the cheapest couch they sell. We bought it when we moved in together, along with basically all of our other furniture as we were both the roommates that didn't own furniture, so there wasn't a ton of money to go around.
It's small and squat and beige. After cheaping out on the $50 for a couch cover, it became beige accented by spills and dirt smears. We finally bought the slipcover, but there is no way to anchor it to the couch—you just kind of tuck it into all of creases, so that it is always half tearing away and weird crumbs and stuff get stuck in it. I do not need to tell you that there are also many places on it that have been destroyed by cats.
So it's a bad couch. I'm not a fan. But Frank's loathing for this thing goes far beyond what is reasonable for a piece of furniture. He once kicked it in a fit of pique (trying to get the cover to stay on) hard enough to limp for a few days.
It's funny because as long as I have known him, he has done this: chosen objects that are admittedly flawed and just fixated on them, pouring way more energy into despising them than makes sense. For example, we have had three different trashcans in the kitchen over the course of our cohabitation because for whatever reason, he finds the kitchen trashcan maddening. So far the new one is okay, but it is only a matter of time before it is replaced with some by-Frank's-occult-estimation-superior one.
Also, I have a pair of sleepy time sweat pants that make him nuts. Yes, they have some amount of holes in them. No, they aren't the first choice of sleepwear I go to. But what the hell, man? Can't a lady wear a comfy, holey pair of jammies when all others are in the hamper? Apparently not. Don't even get me started on how much he hates our blue '80s-style bathroom.
My point is that these fixations, though based somewhat in reality, I think also serve as loci for otherwise free-floating anger and frustration. They're like talismans of pissed-off-ness.
At first, I thought that he just needed some kind of release mechanism—a non-human, non-cat thing to pile all the extraneous hate and grump that accumulates when one is a person out in the world. I worried that by fixing the thing that he hated, he'd be forced to re-locate the anger somewhere else, so it was basically useless to bother.
I'm wrong, though. When something Frank hates gets fixed or upgraded, the anger seems to magically dissipate. So perhaps the objects were manufacturing anger themselves, after a while, instead of just absorbing what was pre-existing.

Crawley must cope with lack of atmosphere - Evans
Crawley manager Steve Evans gives his usual pre-match opinions on the opposition, this week paying attention to the lack of atmosphere at Don Valley.
Evans usually has a few choice words for opposing managers and has already fired rants this season towards the likes of Accrington and AFC Wimbledon.
Speaking to Radio Sussex though, he was fairly laid back with his thoughts about Saturdays clash with the Millers.
"They've got a good manager in Andy Scott and he's recruited good players. They want to be in the new stadium in League One. It's a difficult place to go because there is no atmosphere", said Evans.
"We're going to face a good team when we get there and Rotherham fans will back them as much as they can. When they get their new stadium it will be bulging.
"It looks like with the results Andy has had in the past couple of weeks that they've come through the sicky spell. We all get them", he added.
The Millers may come up against former skipper Pablo Mills, who is on the road to recovery after a lengthy injury lay off.

Supported by a solid cast, John Lithgow finds the humanity in this irascible, obsessive and quite unlikable demigod.
John Lithgow is a chameleon who can play anything from a TV serial killer ("Dexter") to a charming con in a Broadway musical ("Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"). In "The Columnist," the new bio-drama by David Auburn ("Proof"), he does a brilliant job with Joseph Alsop, the Washington political pundit who wielded immense power through his syndicated newspaper column. Supported by a solid cast, Lithgow finds the humanity in this irascible, obsessive and quite unlikable demigod. But neither he nor helmer Daniel Sullivan can do the impossible: manufacture a play out of the scattered events of Auburn's well-articulated but loosely structured scenes.
A well-born WASP with top-drawer social connections (to the Roosevelts, no less) and a cultivated taste for fine art, Alsop cut a far more impressive figure than the braying media asses who currently dominate the political scene. But between his fanatical enthusiasm for the Vietnam War and his rabid attacks on his political "enemies," he was no less dangerous. A dapper dresser, Alsop maintained his air of superiority by adopting an exquisite if eccentric sense of style. Costumer Jess Goldstein has supplied the elegant suits, silk bow ties, cigarette holder and owlish eyeglasses. Lithgow wears this sartorial splendor as the emotional straitjacket it is, an insight he conveys with his ramrod-stiff posture and the tight little purse he makes of his mouth. As a closeted homosexual hiding behind a friendly marriage of convenience to a kind woman (played with sensitivity by Margaret Colin), Alsop was indeed repressed. And as much as the play can be said to have a dramatic crisis, it's the situation he gets into on a trip to Moscow, when the KGB sets him up with an attractive young man (a scene played with a measure of grace by Lithgow and Brian J. Smith) and secretly photographs the encounter. Instead of using this crisis as his dramatic engine, Auburn lets it hover over the play, never quite integrated into other events. Lacking a clear plot focus, the play thus remains a series of episodic scenes, all efficiently staged on John Lee Beatty's extremely well-dressed set interiors. Some of them are quite gripping — but still feel random. The scenes that Lithgow plays with Boyd Gaines, as Alsop's brother and onetime writing partner, Stewart, have heart. Unlike Alsop, Stewart never became consumed by his political passions, and his concern for his progressively fanatical brother is quite moving. As the play goes on, with Alsop increasingly eaten alive by his obsessions, he perversely becomes more intractable in his political beliefs about the righteousness of the war in Vietnam and the dangers of communism. At this point, Lithgow is playing him like the fabled lion with a thorn in his paw. Unable to make peace with changing political realities and unwilling to accept the new standards of journalism — represented by young turks like David Halberstam (Stephen Kunken) — he can only roar in frustration and make life miserable for his wife, his brother and the stepdaughter (played with girlish spirit by Grace Gummer) he adores. After becoming irrelevant, Alsop did not go gentle into that good night. But Lithgow makes sure that this wounded beast goes out with a bit of dignity.The Columnist
