Technical specification
Advantages of the construction and materials used in the PETROF P 173 Breeze grand piano
The rim is a Petrof original design.
The inner rim is laminated with 9 sheets of solid beech and birch lamellas and is CNC machined for high accuracy.
The outer rim is sandwiched from solid alder core and outer HDF lamellas with veneer.
The inside facing is veneered horizontally with Ebony Makassar.
The total rim thickness is 5,8 mm.
The solid rim ensures long term tuning stability and action regulation stability. A firm CNC machined rim supports the proper crown of the sound board, which produces the precious PETROF tone. Rare Ebony wood on the inner face of the rim gives the nogle appearance that is deserving of a PETROF grand piano.
Frame posts
The PETROF frame consists of 3 longitudinal spruce posts.
The joints of the posts and rim are dove tailed (fish tailed) and doweled with beech hardwood dowls. The entire wooden frame is CNC machined to insure an accurate fit to support the crown of the sound board.
The firm frame with solid posts provides a high form stability of the frame, tuning and regulation stability.
The legs are a Petrof original design.
The legs are made with a solid beech core, an outer layer of alder, a Gabon counter veneer, and an outer decorative veneer.
The frong legs are 625 mm in length.
Strong leg construction ensures high piano stability when being played dynamically. The legs are proportioned adequately to the size of piano.
Iron plate
The iron plate is produced in the Czech Republic.
The iron plate is made from grey cast iron, wet sand cast, and hand finished; then it is CNC machined for exact strings length.
Each plate is finished in the new dynamic gold color.
CNC machining ensures high accuracy of string scalling and accurate fit to each piano. Our new plate color enhances the beauty and noble look of the PETROF grand piano.
Hardware fittings
The hardware is a Petrof original design.
The hardware is solid polished brass, lacquered and stain resistant.
All the hardware fittings are maintenance free.

, laminated using very strong moisture resistant laminate glues.
The pin block is highly resistant to climatic changes, providing stabe torque of tuning pins and high tuning stability.
The soundboard is a Petrof original design.
The soundboard is made from selected European spruce. It is symmetrically crowned and wedge tapered from 9 mm in front to 7 mm in back arc.
Traditional symmetric crown and wedge tapering of the soundboard gives the piano good acoustic performance in whole tonal range and induces typical tone of PETROF grand pianos.
The ribs are a Petrof original design.
The ribs are made from selected fine European spruce.
They are symmetrically circular shaped, the tips are machine fitted.
The straight corner cross rib (cut off bar) is made from solid beech wood. It is CNC machined to the form of sounboard crown.
Traditionally circular shaped ribs support the symmetric crown of the sound board and conduce to the typical PETROF sound.
The bridges are a Petrof original design.
The treble bridge is made from a solid beech body with a genuine ebony cap in high treble section.
The bass bridge has a solid beech body with a foot bridge.
Both the bridges are blackened, machine notched and hand drilled for the pins.
The ebony bridge cap is used to most efficiently transfer of high frequencies to the soundboard. The bridges design contributes to the wonderful European sound of the PETROF pianos.
The Breeze has agraffs in the bass and middle section, capo V bar in treble and front and rear pre-tuned duplexes in high treble.
PETROF utilizes laser positioning of its duplex bridges (frets).
The Breeze has double string hitching of plain strings.
Using of agraffs and duplex scalling adds richness to the tonal color of the piano.
Tuning pins
The tuning pins are made of steel then nickel plated.
The tuning pins are of the best quality and are corrosion resistant.

The copper wire for winding is made by Degen Germany.
The longest bass string is 1260 mm.
Strings are made from string wire of top world quality.
Hammer heads
The PETROF utilizes hornbeam hammer shanks and Abel or Renner hammers made in Germany with hornbeam or walnut moldings.
Abel and Renner hammers are one of the worlds best, made from very special hammer felt. These hammers enable PETROF to obtain a wide scale of tonal color and power.
The Breeze is equipped with Petrof dampers. There is used the world top damper felt Laoureux France.
Used French felt is a guarantee of the highest dampers quality.
The action used in this piano is Petrof original.

A beech hardwood insert is embedded in the spruce core in lyre and legs area.
The key bed thickness is 47 mm.
The key bed is additionally reinforced by a strong solid wood rail on the bottom of the key bed.

SSU Sports Information
Following a complete team turnaround that saw volleyball double its win total from 11 to 22 this season, three individuals were honored as All-MSC selections at the conference banquet. Alex Pohl and Kirsti Yates were named first-team All-MSC selections, while Paige Zelich earned honorable mention All-MSC honors.
For Pohl, the honor was the first time she was selected to the first team after earning honorable mention accolades in each of her past two seasons. Shawnee State's all-time leading blocker finished with 385 blocks for her career. This broke the previous mark by 10. This past season, Pohl finished second on the team with 85 blocks, including a team-high 31 solo blocks. She also finished with the second-highest hitting percentage on the team (.294) and was third in digs (181).
Yates' honor marks the second straight season that she has been named first-team All-MSC. The team's libero, she finished with 574 digs, which was the fourth-most in the conference. She also was second on the team in service aces (41) and helped assist on 53 kills, the third-best mark on the team. With her second career honor, the junior becomes just the third player in program history to be named first-team all-conference, joining Haley Halcomb and Heather Koehler. No player has ever been a three-time first-team all-conference selection in program history.
Zelich, a sophomore, was named All-MSC for the first team in her career with the honorable mention nod. She finished the year with a team-best 247 kills. She also had a team-high 655 attacks on her way to a .247 hitting mark. In 12 different matches Zelich recorded double-digit kills, averaging 2.5 kills per game over the season. She was even better in conference, hitting over. 300 in seven of those matches and had a .265 hitting mark against MSC competition.

The short answer is: Episencial does not use harmful nanoparticles in its formulas. Nanoparticles, particularly those of metallic ingredients, are so small that they are able to pass through the wall, or membrane, of cells in the body and into the bloodstream. Because mineral-based sunscreens use metals such as Zinc and Titanium as the active ingredient, it is helpful to understand that a particle of nano size is not the same thing as a nano particle. A nanoparticle is any particle less than 100 nanometers in diameter (across). This can be confusing as a nano-sized material is not necessarily a nanoparticle. For example, a bulk ingredient material that has been reduced to 500 nanometers is NOT a nanoparticle because it is 5 times larger than 100 nanometers. As a point of reference, a particle must be less than 50 nanometers (a nanoparticle) to enter skin cells; less than 70 nanometers to enter the lungs. Trying to fit a 100 nanometer particle into the skin cell membrane is like trying to force a baseball through a hole the size of a ping-pong ball. It is physically impossible.

Recent skin maturation studies show that over 60% of children have dry skin. The signs of dryness are not always evident to the naked eye, but because children?s skin is physiologically less developed than adult skin, it absorbs and loses moisture more easily than mature skin. Dryness leads to increased incidence of eczema, rash and cracking and can open the body up to increased infection and reduced immune efficiency. Babies who travel by airplane or who live in cold and windy climates are most at risk for excessive dryness. Try any of our Step 2, Nurture products to help lock in moisture!
To protect from occasional, regular dry skin, we suggest the Better Body Butter. For dry patches, the Protective Face Balm, SPF 6 is the best! Dry skin is more vulnerable to sun damage, so it makes sense to use a low level SPF all the time on dry skin.
For eczema make sure the cleaning products in the home are non-toxic (no bleach, ammonia or artificial fragrances). Use fragrance free laundry detergent. Eliminate personal grooming products that contain fragrance and preservatives and use those that are from natural sources. Lastly, eliminate processed foods from the diet (e.g., crackers). Instead, replace those foods with more fruits and vegetables like carrot sticks, cut apples, red pepper flowers and cucumber sticks
First, wash your baby with our mild, non-irritating Playful Foaming Wash, follow with a layer of Snuggly lotion or Soothing Cream. Finally, protect baby's skin with Cheeky Salve, Nurturing Balm or Sunny Sunscreen.
The cause of diaper rash is multi-faceted. Essentially, our babies bums are little growing zones and can provide a great place for bacteria to grow. If any kind of harmful bacteria or fungi gets a start, it can be very difficult to get rid of. A rash is basically indicative of an imbalance in bacteria. So, to rebalance, give the bum as much airtime, sans diaper, as possible. Don't use wipes with alcohol or any drying agents at all the best thing is cotton pads with pure water or wipe with a rinse of pure water to eliminate any chemical residue. All wipes have drying agents, as they are necessary to keep bacteria from molding the wipes. After cleaning the area, use the Episencial Nurturing Balm to create a barrier and healing environment for the skin to do what it knows how to do protect our bodies from invaders!
The Playful Foaming Wash is perfect for acneic skin as it is cleanses without stripping natural oils. The Soothing Cream is also great because of the insulating features of the product combined with antibacterial neem oil and probiotics, which are often great for acne.
Just like adult skin can be categorized as normal, dry, oily, acneic, etc., babies and kids have a unique skin type called ?developing skin.? As the largest organ of the body, new skin ? like baby is growing and developing into a protective barrier and way to sense and experience the world. And, just like baby, developing skin needs special loving care to grow healthy and strong.
We DO NOT use additives to make the products non-irritating. The ingredients themselves are so mild and high quality that they simply don?t irritate the skin or eyes.

The length of the ingredients is a positive! It is a feature of the products as those ingredients are beneficial to the developing and sensitive skin types. We specifically select actively healthy ingredients ? as many of them as possible, while still keeping the price affordable.

The ingredient PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate (MGD) is a completely safe and natural raw material that we use for its thickening properties. Our PEG-120 is produced from renewable resources (sugar, not petroleum) so it is not at risk of contamination with 1,4 dioxane. It offers an eye irritation score of 0 (zero) and fantastic safety records. Without a thickening ingredient all cleansing products would be very watery and pour too easily out of the bottle, causing spills, wasted product and frustrated kids and parents. Most companies use a petroleum based thickener like PEG-150 Distearate, which we would never use. We wouldn?t use PEG-150 (or MGD that was sourced from petroleum) because it can damage the skin and is not-at-all eco friendly. A potential risk that the EWG lists for PEG-120 is ethylene oxide (EO) contamination. Consequently, we take added precautions in the purification of our products and employ additional testing measures to ensure our products are safe from contaminants. We are very picky about our raw materials and require extensive safety testing, as well as verification of quality and claims.

To have access to vast amounts of information can be both a gift and a curse. It can be quite difficult to know what information can be trusted. In the case of xenoestrogens, which are estrogen-like chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body to cause hormonal disruption, there is a great deal of fear-inducing misinformation out there on the web. Thankfully, there are some sources that work very hard to validate their findings and are much more reliable than other sources. In the case of suspected xeno-estrogens Lavender and Tea Tree oil, the Cosmetic Database weighs in by giving both of them a rating of 0-2 depending upon use. Even at its highest, 2, these ingredients are well within the realm of safety.

Let me first assure you that we did not make the choice to use Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) lightly and, in fact, only did so after finding source material that was of the highest quality and thoroughly refined.? You see, the primary issue with CAPB among health advocates (such as The Environmental Working Group which rates CAPB as a 5 on its 1-10 scale) is not the ingredient itself, rather the prevalence of nitrosamine contamination ? this is particularly true when used in combination with the ingredient DEA/TEA. We use a very small amount of plant-based CAPB as, in its purified state it is a safe and mild cleansing agent (rather than known irritants such a sodium laurel and laureth sulfates) that improves the texture of the product.? ?The refined nature of our source material and testing protocols coupled with the small quantity and the fact that CAPB does not accumulate in the body, allows us to take advantage of its benefits while neutralizing potential health risks. That said, do look out for products that include both DEA/TEA and CAPB as those formulas are likely to be contaminated with nitrosamines. Nitrosamines can be very harmful to the body as they are absorbed through the skin, and should always be avoided. We specifically exclude ?DEA/TEA in our formulas for this very reason.

The word ?fragrance? on a label may indicate thousands of undisclosed synthetic chemicals, many of which are known to cause discoloration to skin, coughing, vomiting, and skin irritation upon inhalation or contact. Even more troubling, they can also affect the central nervous system, causing depression, hyperactivity, and irritability. Finding products that are fragrance free really is of paramount importance. Episencial products smell wonderful from pure fruit juice and vegetable extracts. The smells delight both parent and child. While parents should absolutely be concerned about fragrance, smells are not inherently bad. They are an important part of bonding, brain development, and baby?s exploration of the world. It is the word ?fragrance? that we must avoid, because it doesn?t give us complete information about the products we are using and can be used by manufacturers to bury other ingredients that you would never normally use on your baby or yourself.

Pure aromatherapy oils are 100% oil. These can be very fragile and can indeed degrade plastic and lose potency when exposed to light. Pure oils should always be purchased in dark glass containers. Amber and Cobalt glass are preferable. Aromatherapy for babies and pregnancy must always be below .05% total pure oil, our product formulations do not have the degrading effect on plastic and do not lose potency as easily. The non-aromatherapy ingredients, fruit extracts, minerals, antioxidants, and such are specially formulated to protect wow gold kaufen the oils and add sustainability through the bonding of organic chemistry. The Episencial lotions, cleansers and personal care products are given extra protection by the fact that they are formulated and stored inside opaque containers and in a cool, dark place (away from heat, moisture and light.)

Bruce Springsteen dedicates song to Trayvon Martin
NEW YORK (AP) - Bruce Springsteen dedicated his protest song "American Skin (41 Shots)" to teenager Trayvon Martin during a concert in Limerick, Ireland.
In a video posted online, the 63-year-old singer told the crowd Tuesday: "We'll send this as a letter back home for justice for Trayvon Martin" after noticing a fan's sign that read "American Skin (41 Shots)."
George Zimmerman was acquitted Saturday of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in Martin's death. Zimmerman said he fired his gun in self-defense during a February 2012 confrontation with the 17-year-old in Sanford, Fla.
Lyrics in the song include "you can get killed just for living in your American skin." Springsteen wrote the song about the 1999 police shooting death of Guinean immigrant Amadou Diallo.

The conference is entitled "Florence: A City of Many Appetites" and will take place on November 8th and 9th, 2013.
The conference's goal is to examine the concept of 'appetite' in the shaping of Florentine history and culture. 'Appetite' will be considered both metaphorically and materially, so as to include not just the intellectual, social, economic aspirations, needs and desires that have stimulated Florence's history but on a more material plane to incorporate Florence's contribution to our appreciation and understanding of the arts.
In the file you will find the Conference Call for Papers. It provides information regarding abstract submission and the publication of conference proceedings. We hope you will find the conference topic interesting and look forward to hearing from you.

I can't speak for other atheists, but I am 100% in favor of euthanasia when death is a certainty and pain is intractable.
I completely support euthanasia on a case by case basis. To say that euthanasia involving a child is not something you would support is very much a blanket ideal. It is a very personal decision and one that I would exercise should the circumstances arise. I was very disappointed that my state of Massachusetts voted NO to allowed Dr Assisted Suicide by a small margin. :( Like many repeat, we treat our animals better than we treat our dying...
I am against euthanasia and i'll tell you why. I am disabled, I have primary progressive MS, I also suffered a head injury resulting in some brain damage from childhood abuse. I know suffering and live with pain and lack of treatment options every day, my health is deteriorating and there is nothing I can do. That being said I have faced discrimination even from doctors, I have had to fight for my life because doctors felt my life was less "worthy" and that death would be more "merciful" than helping me live with severe disability. Many disabled people are routinely subjected to DNR orders they never requested or consented to which is sick but a sad reality for far too many. I have also dealt with guilt that comes with being dependent on others, there have been times I felt I was such a burden my loved ones would be better off without me. I have had to grieve to for the loss of "who I was" and accept who I now am and it was hard, it is hard. It is hard to hear every day from people how they could never live like that, how those in wheelchairs are vegetables with a functional mind, how some things are worse than death, they are talking about ME about MY life! I can tell you it hurts and has driven me to thoughts of suicide. Legalizing assisted suicide or euthanasia in theory is great in practice I see disaster. How could abuse be prevented and the rights of those with disabilities be upheld if the very law is saying our lives are worse than death? They can't. I think improvements to palliative care are desperately needed but legalizing doctor assisted death puts my life and the lives of thousands of others at risk.
You are a very courageous woman, Lily. I hear you on that wheelchair thing.
I used to date a woman who used a wheelchair. We went to the Party in the Park in London several years ago, where there were large crowds of people in front of Buckingham Palace to attend a concert put on by the then young princes. As we were leaving in the crowds, a woman in her twenties stumbled against my partners wheelchair, and turned and announced quite stridently, and to no-one in particular, "They should give them lights, or bells or something".
I was so shocked and disgusted - and ashamed she had a British accent. My partner was apparently more used to that sort of behaviour than I.
I do believe in voluntary euthanasia, but I also feel that a great deal of ancillary process should be involved to ensure that the right to life takes priority.
I don't believe assisted suicide (or even suicide) should be prevented or should be a crime.
If you don't own yourself and your life, what greater property can the government confiscate?
Here's a quick, brutal, answer: better to die humanely in a hospital than splattered across the road or train line. My reasoning is as follows:
The only downside I can see to euthenasia is if it is inflicted upon unwilling patients as a means of legal murder.
My main problem with suicide is the aftermath. I wish more suicides would think about the problems they leave behind as well as, as you mentioned, the cleanup following certain ways of offing oneself.
I think if I were to do it I'd use the old many pills + a lot of Wild Turkey approach. I'd send a delayed message meant to arrive a few hours after my death. I wouldn't want to inflict any foul odors on those who come to see if I meant it.
I always thought that'd be potentially very painful. I figured I'd do it Hemingway style, but I guess that is inconsiderate. I know some people who have hung themselves, and that seems to work out pretty well, but again that seems like there could be potentially painful complications-- like what if it didn't work, and I just lost certain functions or something? Short of gaining access to an updated version of Kevorkian's thanatron, I still think messy gunshot is the way to go.
These people (aside from Kevorkian) were the first I heard were doing it.
- Good info toward the bottom
No, it's like dying of a morphine overdose. You pass out and at some point you stop breathing. Where would the pain come in?
For some reason I instinctively imagine stomach pain. What are the specifics? Pill-wise.

If you are of a certain age, it might be hard to believe that former President Richard M. Nixon was born 100 years ago today, January 9.
And if you are of another certain age, you may say, "So what was he all about?"
Just go to One Search, on the library web site, type in your search, and start reading. Hundreds of articles, books, even DVD's can answer that question. The short answer: he was a complicated man. Take a look and you will be able to impress your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, with your newfound knowledge on an important figure from an era that was not really so long ago. Watergate, the opening of China, the Vietnam War, the first televised presidential debate, even Spiro T. Agnew---all have an abiding influence on our present.

Well said everyone.
One more thing...
Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and the guiding mind behind iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, iTunes, and an astounding amount of other modern technological marvels, passed away yesterday at the age of 56.
Statements and stories have flooded in from around the world and all over the internet. Below, the staff of TiPb and the Mobile Nations network share their thoughts, memories, and respect for the man who shaped the modern consumer electronic world.
Georgia, TiPb.com
If there is anything that we can learn from the death of Steve Jobs it's that we need to make sure we live for the moment and do as much as we can with the time we are given. Though Steve is no longer with us, his legacy will carry on. I did not expect to be as affected by his passing as I have been. There is something that made me feel secure with having Steve at Apple, and his spirit can not be replaced.
We're here to put a dent in the universe.
You did, Steve. You did.
Seth Clifford, Iterate.tv
There isn't much I could say about Steve's influence on the world that hasn't been said better already. I wasn't expecting to be as impacted by his passing as I found myself last night and again this morning. But I was, and I started to think about why I felt the way I did. I came to the conclusion that everything I do today - from the actual work I do on a daily basis, to the way I think about the quality of what we create, to the places I want us to go as a company - has in some perceivable way been shaped by Steve. A child of the 80s, I loved Macs, and when I was old enough to afford my own, it was around the same time he came back to Apple and began to reshape the face of the company. Since that point, I've watched as his vision brought new life not only to Apple, but to the entire technology industry. My formative young adult years were spent in awe of the places he was taking us, and with each release, we inched closer toward a better way of doing things. There were hiccups along the way, stops and starts, but the vision always persevered in spite of everything. Now, with the mobile landscape looking the way it does, thinking back to those early machines and the original Macintosh's goal of bringing computing to everyone, it's clear that he succeeded in that intention. Every single day, the good things he wanted us to feel as we use our technology touch my life in quietly profound ways. And every single day forward, I will pause and think about how compromise was not a part of that plan. Steve's guiding principle was to do great things, and while we don't always succeed at that, neither did he - and it's the journey (and the willingness to keep pushing forward) that really matters anyway. I will genuinely miss him, and I thank him for everything he did in the name of the user.
Ally Kazmucha, TiPb.com
I've immersed myself in technology ever since I can remember. I was always fascinated by the way things work and how things could be better. Steve Jobs understood that things can "always" be better. He was a visionary and his own worst critic. I always admired that in him. Back in my college days I remember seeing the Stanford Commencement speech on the internet. One quote stuck with me from then until now -
"Everyday when I wake up, I look into the mirror and ask myself, "If I was going to die tomorrow, would I still want to do what I'm going to do today?", and if the answer is no too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."
It's a quote I've tried to live up to. Since then, I've almost completely turned a hobby and a passion into a career, I'd say that quote has impacted my life in ways I'm not even capable of explaining. So I'll continue doing what I love to do as that's the best way I know to honor one of most creative minds of this century. He may be gone but so many of the ideas and innovations he brought to life will continue to inspire generations to come. You will be sorely missed by all.

In a job interview I had a couple years ago, I was asked that if I could meet one celebrity, who would it be? Without even giving it much thought, I promptly replied 'Steve Jobs'. The job-search committee was slightly taken aback by my response because he wasn't a celebrity in the conventional meaning of the term. Well, in my eyes, Steve is the greatest and most influential celebrity of my time. Unlike other celebrities, Steve actually had and will continue to have a great impact on my life.
I miss you, Steve. Thank you for not only being an incredible innovator, but for being an inspiration and example of perseverance and following your dreams.
Kevin Michaluk, Founder of CrackBerry.com
As much as we like to poke at Apple whenever we get the chance on CrackBerry, Steve Jobs was an amazing visionary and inspiring leader who made a significant impact upon the world in which we live. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and loved ones.
Keith Newman, PreCentral.net
Say what you will about Steve Jobs... whether you loved him or hated him, it is undeniable of the impact he had on our modern society. His return to Apple marked a new era of design and functionality the rest of the industry wished they could capture and often tried to replicate. Sure he was known to fanboys as the savior and to the haters as the devil but his business savvy and cutthroat business decisions created an empire. You will always see his true friends speak dearly of him and that is what strikes me most. He was a guy who was doing a job that was fueled on his dreams and imagination; they might have been absurd to conventional thinking and against every fabric of sound business models, yet, he still prevailed on top of it all. I offer his family and friends my condolences during this hard time. Having lost my mother at 47 from cancer, the thing that helped me through it all was remembering her during the strongest periods of her life and always keeping that in my heart. Steve, thank you for your innovations that keep pushing our world closer together through technology.

Explaining to my 5-year-old daughter what I was watching on TV (and, Jesus H. Christ is CNN horrible), Mia, who uses an old iPhone 3G as an iPod, asks me:
"Daddy, since he died, will my iPhone not work anymore?"
No, Mia, it most certainly will.
Chris Oldroyd, TiPb.com
Steve Jobs quite simply changed my life! His vision and astounding ability to give us what we needed even before we actually knew what we needed was amazing. The world has lost a gifted individual and is a much worse place today because of that. I will never forget the first time I heard him say "The iPhone". Little did I know what it would lead to. Thank you Steve.
Chris Parsons, CrackBerry.com
Between last night and today, I have heard so many people state what Steve Jobs meant to them and their lives and it has truly been amazing. I've always recognized that we all live and we all die but I never realized the passing of Steve Jobs would have this much affect on myself. I work on a MacBook Pro all day long, I write about iPhones and iPads often and much of my livelihood as I know it -- is because of the products him and the folks at Apple have created. Steve Jobs was simply put.. amazing. I encourage you all to donate to your local Cancer society.
Andrew Wray, TiPb.com
It's difficult to find the right words to describe some of the emotions that I've been overwhelmed with since learning of Steve Job's passing. Feelings of sadness, nostalgia, deep inspiration and happiness all come to the surface when watching some of Steve's greatest moments on stage. He had such a way about him. That all-too-magical reality distortion field. I don't believe we will have another opportunity to see a man as great as Steve Jobs emerge within our lifetimes.
For all of this, I am truly grateful that I was able to be on this earth to watch Steve work his magic with Apple, NeXT and Pixar, bringing amazing products to the world and truly revolutionizing the tech industry. And more than once. His legacy will live on forever through Apple and I'm sure we'll all think of Steve every time we use one of his products. We'll miss you, Steve. Thanks for giving us the world.
Rene Ritchie, TiPb.com
My first computer was an Apple II. My first website was created on the classic Mac OS. Day in and day out, my work, my play, and my life is enabled by Macs and iPhones and iPads and the apps they make possible. Steve Jobs inspired and informed all of that. He is indelibly and inexorably at the heart of modern technology.
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
A master story teller, he methodically crafted a legend not of words or epics but of consumer electronics and software. He is why Apple is the brand and passion it is today, why industrial design matters, and why software is increasingly accessible to the mainstream.
He stood at the crossroads of technology and liberal arts, of glass and aluminum, of bits and bytes, and by sheer act of will forged them into something greater than any of their parts -- tools that work for us rather than requiring us to work for them.
Relentless visionary, consummate showman, genius businessman. His loss hurts but his life will inspire, always.
The end of act two came far too soon, and act three suddenly, brutally sooner still. Part of me wonders what another 30 years could have brought us, but the other part knows what Jobs himself elucidated so well:
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
We'll never get another "One more thing..." from you, Steve, but you've left us the only thing that really matters. Your legacy. Thank you for that. For everything.

One more thing...
Very well said.
Great article. Thanks kindly for sharing.
Its still hard for me to let this one sink. I guess I knew this was coming but kept hoping it wouldnt be this soon.
God bless
I'll really miss Steve. I didn't think that it would move me the way that it has but my wife and I were watching CNN and they showed people leaving flowers at the stores and employees crying outside. She started to cry and that emotion swept right over me as well. Steve loved what he did and I can tell every time I use my iPhone or iPad or my MacBook. He was a fighter and a dreamer and all the things that make us great! I'll miss him!
Its ok to cry, dont hide your feeling inside just cause some idiots say men arent supposed to cry.
I didn't find it weird at all, in fact it is a good statement and one that described Steve Jobs' feelings about Apple and the legacy that he has left! He wanted to instill his ideals and work ethics into the people of Apple, from the bottom upwards. He did this, and his legacy is that Apple will continue without him! That is how he wanted it, planned it, to be.
I would really like to think that he even waited until after the "let's talk iPhone" presentation, making sure that the company he loved so much, that his product the iphone, would not be put in the shade by his passing.
I may get upset postings for saying that but I would like to believe that even in those final hours of life he held out until the following day just to make sure that Tim Cook could present the iPhone 4s to the world first.
Yeah, it would have put quite a damper on it if they announced his death as a one last thing at the event. However, my suspicion is he died earlier, and they kept it under wraps till after the event. Apparently there are reports that the higher ups went dark in terms of responsiveness at Apple over the weekend.
I thought the exact same thing. Apple was his passion, so I don't think it's out of bounds at all to suggest that Steve was doing all he could to stick around until after Tuesday's event. However, I do think Steve would be shocked at the effect his death is having on everyone. I know I was surprised at how deeply saddened I was upon learning the news of his passing. You'll be missed Steve.
This is perhaps the sweetest, most poignant sentiment I've seen. Breaks my heart.
In honor of the dead. I'm selling my Ipad 2 SIGNED BY STEVE JOBS. It's only 5000.00 on a buy it now on Ebay for 10 days. Hurry, first come first served. Shipping is not free unfortunately. No refunds.
Hello, Its the first time I ever post a comment on a blog about gadgets. My first Apple product was a iPod Video in 2007, then came an iPhone 4 in 2011, then a MacBook Pro in 2011, another iPhone 4 white for my wife and finally an iPad 2.
I just realized how addicted I am to Apple products, their design and quality. Everything, even the box are amazing and well built, every single detail!
I just wanted to say, Thanks Steve Jobs for everything you have done!
Adelmo Silva from Portugal.
Nicely done, guys. Nicely done.
Can you title the next TipB Iphone Live "One More Day" in memory of steve?
One More Day is kind of a phrase I heard online referring to him being such a company man that he literally passed away one day AFTER the launch. I doubt it was purposeful, but hey -- talk about being dedicated right up to the end to perfection.
TiPb staff - please keep your tribute on-line indefinitely. Reading all your heartfelt comments and stories was good for my soul. We've really witness the passing of a great human being, flaws and all. Most of you are too young to have known the passing of John Kennedy or even John Lennon. Steve was one of them. Some of the remarks made in response are not worth saving, but then they represent the small minds who had nothing better to do than whine about Apple. Let it be.
My very first computer as a kid was a Macintosh Apple IIe with a dot matrix printer! (I thought it was so cool back then!) Years later when I worked for the studios we went completely PC for years but now we are back to almost all-Apple (once I finally relinquish my BlackBerry, very soon!).
Rest in peace Steve Jobs. Thank you for making the world a better, brighter place.
Ah Steve. The great ones are always taken from us too soon.
The iPhone is the only product that I've ever camped out in a line for and Apple products are the only gadgets that I actually felt giddy over purchasing. In fact, I quickly nicknamed my first iPhone "the precious" and had Gollum holding an iPhone as my screensaver. Why such passion? Not because the products "just work", which of course they do, but because they were lovingly created by a man that demanded perfection for us, the end users, of which he himself was one. What other CEO could look as excited and enthralled by their own products as Steve Jobs?! He created products that he himself wanted to use and have fun with and we got to be the beneficiaries of that.
Steve, you were magical and insanely great and I consider it a privilege to have been in your reality distortion field! God Bless you and I pray you are resting in peace. <><
He's lying. Trust me!!! He's lying. Start. yr own investigation. But never let him know u suspect wait until u have proof. A cheater will never admit to it."

If you've ever avoided your Monday-morning weigh-in because you blew your diet over the weekend, you're not alone. Most people, even those who are not dieting, tend to eat more on weekends than they do during the week. You don't have to be like the average person, however, if you follow a few simple steps. Here are 10 tips for surviving the weekend on a diet.
In a study published in the journal Obesity in 2008, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis followed 48 men and women for a year to determine how weekend eating affected their diets. Almost all of the participants, who ranged from healthy weight to nearly obese, lost weight during the week and gained it back on the weekends. Their physical activity didn't change much; the weight increase was caused by a higher calorie intake. Weekend overeating is so powerful, the researchers found, that it could lead the average person to gain 9 pounds over the course of a year.
Indulging on the weekends can cause you to make up any calorie deficit you created during the week, which means you won't lose weight. And who wants to diet without seeing results? Don't let your days off derail your hard work. Be a weekend diet warrior.

It's not just what you eat but when you eat that matters. The perfect food for one situation may be horrible for another. Nutrient timing is a science that athletes use to try to get the most out of every calorie they consume. Not everyone needs an athlete's level of efficiency, but all of us will benefit from a basic understanding of nutrient timing.
This is 911, need-to-know info only. To keep you focused on the big picture, I'll begin with an example at the extreme end of nutrient timing. If the average Joe followed the same diet as an Ironman triathlete, he'd likely have type 2 diabetes in a matter of months. Conversely, if someone tried to complete an Ironman on even the healthiest version of a low-carb diet, that person would either be forced to quit or die. This is not just because either diet would mean eating too much food or too little food. Different foods cause the body's metabolic process to react in different ways; and various activities should be fueled using various means.
Let's begin by looking at our possible fuel sources:
Now let's look at the various situations we face daily, at least on most days—hopefully.
It is worth noting here that it's better to eat before bed if you need the nutrients—don't skip them. Your body can't repair itself without nutrients, and recovery from breakdown is why we eat in the first place.
Next, let's take a look at an important word you need to know: insulin.
Okay, that's a little scientific, but look at all the things we've already referenced: hormone, glycogen, metabolism, and fat as an energy source. Even if you don't fully comprehend "vascular compliance," you can tell that insulin is something important in today's discussion.
Sure enough, it's the only hundred-dollar word we need to know today. Your body's insulin response is the main reason you want to eat certain foods at certain times, to do certain things.
Putting it all together
Now let's take what we've just learned and put it to use. For most of us, nutrient timing is pretty simple. The next thing to consider is what you're going to be doing or what you just did. As I said before, what you eat should be based on this.
You've probably heard about the evils of sugar, or maybe even the glycemic index. Using the science of nutrient timing, you can turn sugar into something healthy because it's the only thing that transports nutrients into your blood quickly enough to be of service during and after hard exercise.
Essentially, sugar or other easily digested carbs (the less fiber, the better) promote an insulin release. This speeds the transformation of carbohydrates into glucose in your blood. As your glycogen stores are depleted during exercise, recharging them with sugar minimizes the damage done by the breakdown of tissue during exercise. Therefore, sugar, the oft-vilified ingredient, is actually your body's preferred nutrient during times of excessive stress and tissue breakdown. Pretty cool, huh?
The bad news is that this miracle nutrient is not good for you when you're not doing intense exercise, which for almost all of us is most of the time. In fact, sugar's very bad for you because the insulin response that was so fabulous for you when you were bonking (glycogen depleted) is not so fabulous for you when you're sitting in front of the boob tube.
Remember this from the Wikipedia definition of insulin, "stopping use of fat as an energy source"? That's bad when you're sitting around. Remember how one of dietary fat's responsibilities is to fuel you during low-intensity exercise? Well, when sugar causes your insulin to spike, it cuts off that process. Now not only are you not burning body fat for low-level outputs, you're trying to force your body to use its glycogen. Double bad.
Unless you're exercising, sugar intake should be minimized. During these times—which is most of the time—your diet should consist of a mixture of proteins, fats, and complex carbohydrates. The latter are natural sources of carbohydrates that generally come with fiber, which regulates the insulin response.
Whole fruit, a simple carbohydrate by definition because it contains fructose (a sugar), always contains fiber and, thus, can be treated as a complex carb. Fruit juice, and other such stuff, is processed; it, along with processed complex carbohydrates like white rice, can cause an insulin response, so these types of foods should be used more like sports foods than staples.
It's also important to note that combining all these different nutrients slows sugar's ability to incite insulin into action. Therefore, a little sugar like a dessert after a well-rounded meal is buffered by the meal. The calories and lack of decent nutrients (processed sugar is devoid of most nutrients, except for energy) still count toward your overall diet, but at least you don't have to worry about an insulin spike.
So the main point of this article is very simple. You should eat small, well-rounded meals most of the time. These should include some proteins, some fats, some fiber, and some carbs. During (only if it's a long workout) and after hard workouts, you should supplement your diet with sugar or simple carbohydrates. After this, you should go back to eating well-rounded meals again.
Sports nutrition has evolved this process even further. In nature, foods are generally slow to digest. Nature's great sports foods are things such as bananas and figs. These are sugary but still contain fiber and other nutrients. Science has found ways to make foods that are even more efficient during sports. These basically manipulate pH levels and process the sugars to speed them into your system. Outstanding when you need it. Terrible when you don't.
They've even taken this a step further by finding a ratio of other nonsugary nutrients (like protein) that can be transported by the sugar to give you a further benefit. Beachbody's Results and Recovery Formula uses this science. When you're bonking during a hard workout, it speeds nutrients that are essential for quick recovery into your system as quickly as possible.
I can't stress how important it is that sports fuels be used for sports performance only. Gatorade, soda, and all sugar candies (hey, no fat!) all function as the poor man's sports foods. Unfortunately, those perusing the Quick Stop generally aren't trying to fuel up after doing Plyo X, and therein may lay our obesity trend.
In case the topic is still a bit fuzzy, let's use the above logic on the examples in the intro:
This is a sports-specific diet only. Someone trying to eat that way during a viewing of the Lord of the Rings trilogy would be lucky to stay out of the emergency room. Conversely, if you tried to maintain a 25-mph speed for 8 hours on your bike while munching on raw spinach and lean steak, you'd bonk so hard you'd be praying to get yanked from the race at the first checkpoint.
That should cover your 911 on nutrient timing. Next time, we'll move on to the topic of supplements. Are they magic pills, overhyped placebos, or something in between?
