When a 1950s housewife falls in love with her black gardener, her life that was already in shambles threatens to complete fall apart. A great, powerful drama in the same tone of the early 20th Century melodramas, especially the Douglas Sirk-directed melodrama All That Heaven Allows. In All That Heaven Allows, Jane Wyman plays a recent widow with two grown children and Rock Hudson plays her gardener. The catch, in the Sirk film from 1955, was the age difference and that he is a lowly gardener and she is a prominent widow with means. Far From Heaven takes off where the Sirk film began and uses racial tensions as the barrier between the two potential lovers. Even though they are two different films told in two totally diverse perspectives, both of these movies are worthy of being seen for their brilliant 1950s styles and their powerful messages.

When did the Marlin quality drop?
I have my dad's 336, built in 1948. 95% new condition, limited use over 65 years. Maybe 500 rounds. I want a .444, or 45/70, but can not accept the quality of the new rifles. Spoiled? maybe, but the action, fit and finish is terrible now. How far back must one go (large bore) to get a quality Marlin?

I know what you mean about the new marlins. I was just in the market or a hog busting levergun. I love Marlins, OLDER Marlins. So I went to a local gun show and was lucky enough to randomly stumble onto a rare Model 375 Marlin, in .375win.
Made in 1980 and the quality is great. A friend of mine also has a 336 in 35rem made in 81, the quality is good as well. Not sure exactly when the quality started to fall off but I think it was around the time they came out with the hammer block safety. Some people may disagree though.

Sorry to hear this about Marlin quality. I've owned their lever guns for many years. The only one I still have is a 40-year-old 39A (my second) which is a jewel. Had a fine 336 in .30-30 years ago, first-rate quality.
I always just thought the crossbolt safety was unnecessary, a case of lawyers dictating changes to a classic design--never a good thing, in my opinion.

Most people think it started when Marlin was purchased by the Freedom Group.

Having owned & worked with Marlin leverguns for several years, I saw quality going downhill noticeably about a year before the old plant shut down, and well before Remington really wrapped their hands around the brand.

Quality took a nose dive when North Haven employees received notice that they'd all be losing their jobs (with very few given the option to transfer), when production was moved to Ilion NY and Mayfield KY. So, there was about a year's worth of low quality crap coming from disgruntled North Haven employees, and then another year's worth of low quality crap coming from Remington employees that didn't know what they were doing and machinery that hadn't been set up properly.
The current production isn't too bad.
It's just the "transition" rifles you have to watch out for. -Often not-so-fondly referred to as "Marlingtons" (disgruntled production) and "Remlins" (Remington production).

Probably when The Freedom Group acquired Marlin. That is when Remington's quality tanked. But take heart; Cyburus (Freedom Group's owner) is divesting itself of firearms manufacturers so maybe someone who actually cares about firearms will buy it and get the QC back up.

I believe Remington bought Marlin in 2008 and the Marlin plant was shut down in 2010.

Marlin QC was already getting problematic BEFORE the workers were told about the old plant closing.
Can't lay it all on either disgruntled employees or Remington.

Marlin was indeed bought out by Freedom group in 2007 and they were moved from North Haven to Remington's plant in Kentucky in 2010. If a Marlin has "JM" stamped on the right side of the barrel, its a pre-Remington model made at the old North Haven plant. 2010 and newer models will have "REP" stamped on the right side of the barrel, indicating they were produced at Remington's KY plant. The quality control of the newer "Remlins" is spotty at best but you could still luck up and get a good one. I'd stick to the "JM" guns myself

I have a .444 SS made in 1995. Has the hammer block safety. Interestingly it has a half-cock hammer position. Quality is in the tradition of Marlin firearms with great wood, fit and finish.

The JM is not a guaranteed indicator the entire gun was made at the old factory.
Two years ago when going through the racks of display leverguns at the Marlin booth at the SHOT Show in Vegas I was told by two different Marlin people that they continued using up existing stocks of "old factory" barrels on new guns built at the "new factory" till they were gone.

Here we go. I may be mistaked but I will double check when I get home.
I think my newest M60 with a SN#00xxxxxx which would be a 2000 date of manu. gun has REP encircled on the right side of the bbl. There wasn't a JM that I could see. I'll check that and get back to you. I don't have any issues with the rifle but am interested in knowing what's what.

The "REP" and "JM" stamps are not 'proof marks', as many people seem to think.
It is simply a manufacturer's stamp for the barrel.
REP barrels were seen on some North Haven Marlins, before the move; and JM barrels were seen on some Ilion/Mayfield Marlins, after the move.
The transition from JM to REP occurred at what ever point in time the stock of JM barrels ran out. For some models, it was well before North Haven was shut down.
The serial number (year of manufacture) is far more useful than just avoiding "REP" barrels.
If you ask around, especially on the Marlin forums, you'll find that most people can't tell the difference in performance between the JM and REP barrels. Some people have even argued that the REP barrels are superior.
Regardless, that stamp only tells you who made the barrel. The rest of the parts, and its place of assembly, are more important if you want to avoid "Remlins"/"Marlingtons".

DPris and FrankenMauser are correct. I said the stamp on the barrel indicated where the gun was made, when it actually just indicates a time frame of when the barrel was made. Undoubtedly batches of REP barrels were sent to the old plant, and batches of old JM barrels were taken to the new plant. Guns made during the transition period around probably 2008-2011 would be nearly impossible to figure out the date and location of manufacture without looking up the serial #. Looking at the barrel stamp is something you can do quickly at a gun show or in a store for a quick reference, but its not a sure thing. But there were reports of a lack of quality control from the time Freedom Group bought Marlin in '07, so to be safe, I'd look for an older Marlin. I'm not saying there weren't any good Marlin's made after 2007, just that there might have been a few more bad ones.

With firearms manufacturing having a banner year, it does my heart good to see Cerberus forego the massive profits and divest itself of those companies, if they actually do it. Anybody tracking share prices?

@ Mach1.3. or anyone with advice please. I have a Marlin XS7 .243. My Serial # is 91xxxxxx. It does have a JM stamp. I dont remember the exact date I purchased it but, It was one of the first years the XS7 and XL7 was available.
I know the rifle wasn't manufactured in 1991. i could always be wrong but I didnt think they existing in 91. Is there a site or any way I can tell when this was made??

Rimfire models like the 60, incidentally, are not made in the same Ilion plant as the centerfire leverguns.
And, a 2000-made Model 60 would not have an REP barrel on it.

Ga Warlock, I think the first of the XL7/XS7 series rifles were sold in late '07

The 5th Annual Panther 5K Run/Walk at Lakeside High School brought out 202 runners Saturday morning. With an average of 130-140 runners the first four years, race organizer Chad Fowers attributed the increase in participation to the fact that the money raised was going to the Lisa Meitin Memorial Scholarship Fund, providing a scholarship to a male and female runner from Lakeside High School. Lakeside's Chase Fowers was the winner of the 5K, coming across the finish line in 16:20.

Taking the first step to get to the Georgia state championships, county high schools wrestled at the Region 2-AAAAA Championships Saturday at Warner Robins.

The Knights had nine wrestlers advance to the Class AAAAA East Sectionals in Loganville, Ga. this weekend, while the Wolfpack had eight wrestlers qualify. The top eight wrestlers in each weight class at the sectionals go on to the states the following weekend.

When the Columbia County Commissioners recently approved a split of recreation and community events into two departments, it opened the door for John Luton.
Luton, who was the county's recreation and events' assistant manager for about four months, was promoted to recreation manager while Stacie Adkins' role in running community events was expanded.
Luton is the fourth person to head the county's rec department, following Don Dearing, Charlie Beale and Adkins.

Make sure the tip of the thermocouple is located over the edge of the burner so that it gets hot when the burner is in operation. Also, check all the wiring connections to make sure nothing has come loose. It is also important to use the turkey fryer with the pot that comes with the unit. The pot must sit on the spring loaded temperature switch in order to determine the temperature of the liquid in the pot.
A great tasting substitute to use in the Brinkmann fryers is corn oil.
10-12 lb. Turkey, completely thawed
4 Tablespoons Fried Turkey Rub`N Spice
Peanut Oil
Turkey Fryer Gas Cooker with 42-Qt. or 24-Qt. Boiling Pot
Brinkmann 10" Deep Fry Thermometer
Brinkmann Meat Thermometer
Make sure turkey is completely thawed. Determine the amount of peanut oil required for cooking by placing the turkey in the strainer basket and set into the empty boiling pot. Add water to the pot until the turkey is covered by no more than an inch of water. Remove the strainer basket with turkey and measure the amount of water in the pot. This will give you a close approximation of how much peanut oil you will need for cooking. Empty the water from the pot and dry completely.
Add measured amount of oil to the pot and preheat to 350°-375°F. using the Brinkmann deep fry thermometer. Pat turkey dry and rub generously with Brinkmann Fried Turkey Rub`N Spice. Let turkey marinate for 30 minutes.
Using protective gloves and clothing, place the seasoned turkey in a strainer basket. Carefully lower the basket with turkey slowly into hot oil. Using the deep fry thermometer, maintain a temperature between 350°- 375°F. Once oil regains this temperature, regulate the heat source to maintain this temperature throughout cooking. Do not let oil overheat or a fire may result.
Estimate cooking time by the formula of 3 minutes per pound of turkey (example: a 10 lb. turkey should cook at least 30 minutes). Check doneness with a meat thermometer after carefully removing turkey from hot oil.
Unfortunately, the boiling pots and strainer baskets are not available in stainless steel at this time. Please check back with us soon to see our latest product innovations.
Please use the following information to determine the proper size turkey for your fryer.
24 qt. fryer - 8-10 lb. turkey
30 qt. fryer - 10-12 lb. turkey

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Product Overview
The 100% natural curcuminoids complex in Super Bio-Curcumin is patent-pending synergistic blend of curcuminoids and sesquiterpenoids with enhanced bioavailability and sustained retention time in the body confirmed by human clinical studies. Super Bio-Curcumin is a "next generation" in delivery of curcumin compounds that no longer requires high doses of curcumin to reach sustained levels of curcumin in the blood plasma. †Each 400 mg capsule of Super Bio-Curcumin is equivalent to 2,772 mg of a typical 95% curcumin extract.
Super Bio-Curcumin
Curcumin is impressing scientists around the world with its remarkable multiple health benefits. Curcumin is a polyphenol present in the spice turmeric and was first used by Indians over 3,000 years ago in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Modern science has found that curcumin has remarkable health benefits for nearly every organ system in the body … including its ability to inhibit enzymes that help produce inflammation in the body.
Studies have tied inflammation to overexpression of a protein molecule called nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB). NF-kappaB acts like a switch to turn on genes that produce the body's inflammatory responses. Because NF-kappaB's expression increases in aging adults, scientists have sought ways to modulate NF-kappaB and its effects in the body.
Curcumin has been shown to exert powerful inhibitory effects on NF-kappaB activation within the body. Curcumin inhibits overexpression of NF-kappaB. In addition, curcumin inhibits the metabolism of arachidonic acid, as well as activities of cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and cytokines (interleukins and tumor necrosis factor).
Other clinical trials suggest roles for curcumin in helping maintain healthy bowel and joint functions. Curcumin can also help maintain normal healthy platelet function, and have immunomodulatory effects by inhibiting histamine release from mast cells. Other studies show curcumin's potential for supporting healthy brain function and offering neuroprotection.
Curcumin may effectively support pancreatic islet health. Curcumin's multifaceted effects include protecting against estrogen-mimicking chemicals, protecting against free radicals, and promoting normal cell cycle growth.
The problem is that curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. Super Bio-Curcumin absorbs up to seven times better than conventional curcumin. So this patented formula represents the most cost-effective way to supplement with this critical nutrient. Studies show that one 400 mg capsule a day of this turmeric compound can provide curcumin blood levels equal to ingesting 2,500–2,800 mg of commercial curcumin supplements. And not only does this turmeric formulation provide far greater peak blood levels, but the curcumin remains in the bloodstream almost twice as long as conventional supplements. And this enhanced absorption delivery complex provides other beneficial turmeric compounds in addition to standardized curcumin.

The X5 is a great entry-level air rifle with style, performance and power. The lightweight, X5 single-stroke, spring-piston rifle blasts .177 alloy pellets at 800 feet per second. And the ergonomic cocking grip lets you fully charge the rifle with less effort, shot after shot. The rifled steel barrel of the X5 airgun provides accuracy and years of service. The X5 comes standard with front and adjustable rear sights with fiber-optic inserts—red front and two-dot, green rear—to make target acquisition easy in any light or weather conditions. All X5 receivers come with integral dovetail scope rails. The X5 is mounted in a hardwood, Monte Carlo-style stock for quick target acquisition. The raised, ambidextrous cheek-piece lets you shoot comfortably, regardless of hand preference. A rubber butt-pad is standard for a solid shoulder mount. For added security and control, the X5 has an automatic, ambidextrous safety mounted on the back of the receiver. The X5 air rifle is the ideal airgun for target shooting, plinking and eradicating small pests.

Stoeger X5 - Excellent Gun
May 16, 2013
I like to shoot at 25 yards and when my Stoeger X5 arrived I put it to the test. After a slight adjustment for height and windage, it consistently made 1/2 inch groups at 25 yards using the artillery hold. The fiber optic sights make aiming a breeze. The best pellets for accuracy are Crossman Premier Supermatch 7.9 grain. This is more than I had hoped for in such an inexpensive gun. Based on my past experience with airguns at this distance, it appears to be shooting at around 600 fps. At 25 yards the pellets will be stopped by 2 layers of ballistic cloth ( heavy upholster's cloth) hanging freely. That makes it perfect for backyard shooting. For indoors at 10 meters a good pellet trap would be Ductseal and then use an appropriate back stop. This gun is shooting with an accuracy I'd expect from rifles priced 2-3 times more. Nice stock but could use a bit of polishing.
Pros:Very accurate, nice fiber optic sights front and rear, easy to cock, quiet, lightweight. Shoots at around 600 fps. There are very few springers in this 600 FPS range, as most are lower or much higher.
Cons:None really. The stock could use a bit of polish, maybe wood wax.

Outstanding shooter
April 28, 2013
The X-5 is a fun gun to shoot. It's plenty accurate, very easy to cock, lightweight, and has a comfortable and good looking stock. It's not overly hold sensitive, and is accurate with an array of pellets. The overall quality of this gun exceeds the price, and for those who like to tune and tinker, it's very easy to dis and re-assemble, though a spring compressor is mandatory. Young shooters will enjoy it as well as adults.

The more you learn about the healing powers of herbs, the more you can gain in terms of your personal health and well-being. This is why our advisory team of doctors and herbalists has developed these practical tips to help you on your journey.
Safe Use of Herbs for Moms & Kids
September 27th, 2012
Many moms come to my practice asking which herbs are safe for pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, and if herbal medicine is safe to use for their kids. With the media focusing primarily on the dangers of using herbs, it's no wonder that women question the safety of botanical medicine for their families. Although fear makes for a better news story, the truth is that many plants have been used safely (longer than most pharmaceutical drugs, in fact) to support the various health stages of a woman's life and that of her child's.
A few of my favorite herbs to support moms and kids with some of the more common health issues that arise are:
Raspberry Leaf (Rubus ideaus)
Supports: pregnancy and labor
Raspberry leaf is by far the most common herb I am asked about when talking about herbs and pregnancy. This plant has a long history of use during pregnancy for supporting the uterus and improving birth outcomes. Several clinical studies have demonstrated that it does support labor with less intervention needed and more efficient second stages.
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum)
Supports: lactation
Fenugreek seed supports the production and secretion of breast milk in nursing mothers. A dose of 2 grams of powder taken three times a day has been found to be effective for increasing breast-pump volume within one week of supplementation. Most often I see a shift in milk production from the use of fenugreek seeds within 24 to 72 hours.
Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)
Supports: calmness
This herb has always been thought of as a child's herb, used to calm a restless child, settle an upset stomach, or itchy skin. This gentle herb works to modulate a healthy inflammatory response throughout the body, provide a sense of calm to the nervous system, and support a healthy digestive process. Topically as a lotion it supports baby's skin.
Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia)
Supports: immune health
Echinacea has become very popular in recent years, and many women ask about its safety during pregnancy. One large observational study found that women taking Echinacea supplements during their pregnancy had no statistical differences between the groups in terms of pregnancy outcome, delivery method, maternal weight, birth weight, or fetal distress. Both the purpurea and angustifolia varieties have medicinal properties, combining them provides one of the strongest immune supporting formulas for kids and adults alike, particularly if taken at the onset of symptoms.
Ginger (Zingiber officianale)
Supports: digestion
This popular culinary spice is well known for its warming, calming effect in the digestive system. Many women deal with digestive upsets in early pregnancy and find the use of Ginger tea to be helpful. There have been several clinical trials with Ginger for the complaint of early pregnancy nausea and vomiting which have found it to be effective within 4 days of use at a dose of 250mg, four times a day.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)
Supports: concentration and focus
Lemon balm, a member of the mint family, is known for its role in supporting the nervous system, providing a sense of balance, and allowing for deeper focus and concentration. Several clinical studies have looked at the positive effects this plant has on mood, cognitive function, alertness, calmness, and sleep. I find this plant to be useful for babies and children, as well as for adults.
Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra)
Supports: respiratory system, immune system, and antioxidant
The Elder shrub has two medicinal parts: the well-known berry and the delicate flower, which is a traditional children's herb to support the respiratory system. The berry is best for its immune supportive properties and supports the body's natural defenses. Research studies show Black Elderberry to have immune modulating and antioxidant properties due to the its high flavonoid-rich compounds. Plus the berries taste great and kids love the syrup from them.
Buying herbs from a reputable manufacturer like Gaia Herbs is essential to ensure purity of ingredients and sourcing. Gaia grows many of the herbs for their products at their own 250-acre certified organic herb farm in North Carolina and also sources herbs from other organic growers and validated partners worldwide. An on-site analytical laboratory ensures the integrity of all ingredients and processes. I personally formulated the GaiaKids® line of herbal products, which now offer proof of quality and sourcing through the world's first herb traceability program. By entering the unique MeetYourHerbs ID number on the package on www.gaiaherbs.com you can learn all about the herbs in the product – from cultivation to processing to test results.
Remember to consult your doctor before taking herbal supplements in combination with medications to avoid possible contraindications. And may the power of plants be with you!

CHATTANOOGA — An Athens man, who was pardoned by President Barack Obama of a petty crime committed more than a half-century ago still can't own guns.
Roy Grimes received word on March 1 that the president had pardoned him for altering a $41 money order in December 1960. The 72-year-old Grimes had asked for the pardon, partly because he likes classic Western heroes and wanted to collect the weapons they used.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press (http://bit.ly/11gwE0r ), Grimes' attorney, Patrick Noel, checked with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and was told there is no provision for restoring the gun ownership rights of someone convicted of a crime. Not even a presidential pardon changes that.
The TBI said the Tennessee Code Annotated states anyone convicted of a felony can't have guns.

(2) Semen. Semen (seminal fluid) is the fluid discharged at ejaculation by a
male. This fluid is made up of sperm in the secretions of the seminal vesicles, the
prostate gland, and the bulbourethral glands.
h. Urethra. The urethra is the final duct of the reproductive system. This duct
acts as a passageway for sperm or urine. The urethra is about 20 cm (8 inches) long.
The ejaculatory ducts pass sperm into the urethra which passes through the prostate
gland and through the penis to be ejaculated.
The preceding paragraphs have described the manner in which sperm are
produced. Now look at the entire pathway a sperm must travel to fertilize an ovum.
a. With each ejaculation, the testes release up to 400 million sperm. The goal is
for one sperm cell to meet and fertilize one ovum.
b. When a male ejaculates, sperm are ejected from the pocket of the testes
through a series of ducts (the epididymis ducts, the ductus deferens, and the ejaculatory
c. Seminal fluid, pouring into the ducts from the prostate gland and the
bulbourethral glands, flushes the sperm through the urethra and out of the tip of the
d. Before fertilization can take place, the sperm must be deposited in the vaginal
vault, pass through the tiny opening of the cervix, swim through the uterus, and reach
the fallopian tubes.
(1) Only the strongest sperm cells survive. Most sperm are destroyed
immediately by the acidic fluids that cleanse the vagina. Only a few thousand sperm
reach the cervix, and fewer still reach the fallopian tubes.
(2) Normally, the cervix is blocked by a hard wall of mucus which prevents
bacteria from entering the uterus. For a few days each month (near the time of
ovulation), this thick cervical mucus changes into a fluid stream that sperm can
(3) Those sperm that pass through the cervix have about 48 hours in which
to reach and fertilize an ovum before they (the sperm) die. Sperm cells can travel this
distance in a few minutes.
e. The difficulty of this journey helps ensure that only the most healthy sperm
cells reach the fertilization point. Sometimes a poor quality sperm and ovum do unite.
Most of these fertilized ova stop developing and are lost spontaneously. The woman
losing such an ovum does not even realize that she has been pregnant.

Missing $4.99 return shipping label - expensive mistake to purchase
The 36L Dakine looked like the roller bag I wanted, but when I put it next to my other carry-on luggage, it was dwarf size. This is midway between small duffle and normal carry-on size. I'm not sure if SurfOutlet is such a small operation that nothing is really standard, but in my return instructions, it said there would be a $4.99 return shipment option included in my purchase. Either by accident or just incorrectly generic instructions, this was missing and I had to pay over $20 just to ship the purchase for my return -- nearly 1/3 of the cost of the bag itself. I didn't feel it was worth it when there are cheaper, easier to operate websites to choose from.

Dakine is a Hawaiian slang or Pidgin term that can be used to indicate just about anything, but it has come to be associated with items of high quality, and this is the meaning that best suits the name of Dakine™ water sportswear. Dakine rashguards, Dakine surf hats and a number of different Dakine bags are just a small portion of all that Dakine has to offer.
Dakine was born in Hawaii in 1979 when Rob Kaplan manufactured the first Dakine surfboard leash, a surf leash built to withstand even the most brutal Hawaiian surfing conditions. The Dakine surfing leash set the standard for Dakine's innovative and high quality products. Specific to surfing, they carry Dakine Traction pads, Dakine surf bags, Dakine surf hats, and Dakine rashguards. For Stand Up Paddle boarding (SUP) they have a Dakine SUP paddle bag, Dakine SUP paddle sock, Dakine waterproof duffel bag and a Dakine hydration pack.
Dakine offers a wide variety of durable, fashionable, and eye-catching surf style bags for the extreme athlete at reasonable prices.If you are looking for a Dakine wallet, Dakine backpack, Dakine duffle bag, Dakine travel bag, Dakine hip pack or even a Dakine skim board bag, you are in luck. If you're an extreme athlete who demands quality and style, Dakine has your back.

January 17th. As people are probably starting to slack off on their resolutions, and others are realizing their goals just aren't that important to them after all, I am finally jumping on the resolution bandwagon. Procrastinate much? :) 2014 was probably the most difficult year of my adult life, maybe the most difficult year of my life ever. I'd like to focus on the positive. I've grown emotionally and spiritually. I've been lucky enough to fall in love all over again. I have found a new job that I am starting to enjoy a little more. I know more about where and who I want to be in the future, even if I don't know how I'm getting there just yet. I'm okay with that.
With all of the change and unexpected occurrences in 2014, fitness definitely was not a priority. So, for the beginning of 2015 I am starting from scratch. Back to basics. I want to build a strong foundation. I have my training planned out for the next 8-16 weeks, depending on how I progress. I have a slow progressing running plan picked out for cardiovascular health. I plan on incorporating yoga, foam rolling, etc. I also have my diet "planned" out for the next several weeks. I don't have a meal plan or macros, just goals, per say. I want this to be easy, and I want to relearn good habits. I will be taking stats and starting pics tomorrow morning. I'll share the stats, and I may or may not share the pictures. I may save those for a later date if there is progress to be shared.
For those of you who have already set your New Year's goals, I hope you are killing them!! If you are just starting out, feel free to join along! Happy belated New Year!!!

Scouting Report
By Charlie Widdoes (Twitter)
Knicks vs. Celtics – TD Bank Garden
When: Thursday | 8:00 PM
Where to Watch: TNT
Where to Listen: ESPN 98.7 FM
Team Reports
New York: The Knicks are in the middle of a difficult stretch against many of the teams they'll be battling the rest of the season for playoff positioning. They righted the ship after three tough losses to Boston, Indiana and Chicago but hopes of taking a three-game win streak to Boston were dashed by Joe Johnson and the Nets on Monday. Iman Shumpert and Amar'e Stoudemire remain limited by doctors' orders as they return from injuries, but both have shown improvement and could begin to assume bigger roles in the rotation soon.
Boston: The Celtics have been on a rollercoaster of late. After losing four in a row, they went on a six-game win streak -- including a win at the Garden -- before losing four more leading up to Thursday's rematch with the Knicks. Avery Bradley has returned from injury, which has predictably made a good defensive team even better, but Boston still struggles to score the ball efficiently -- something that has plagued them for the greater part of five years now. This season, they rank 27th out of 30 teams in points per 100 possessions.
Last Time Out
New York: The Knicks dropped this year's fourth and final regular season matchup with the Nets, 88-85, on Monday.
Boston: The Celtics were victimized by 2nd-year point guard Kyrie Irving, whose 40 points propelled Cleveland to a 95-90 win on Tuesday.
The Numbers Game
The Knicks are 2nd in the NBA in 3-pointers attempted; the Celtics are 2nd-to-last.
Match-up to Watch
Iman Shumpert vs. Avery Bradley
Two of the most exciting young players in the NBA, both of these guys have already formed reputations as defensive difference-makers. You don't often see contending teams count so heavily on players with so little experience, but such was the case when both returned from their respective injuries. Depending on how the minutes shake out, you could see these two matched up and that will inevitably be an exhibition in ball pressure. If Shumpert is asked to handle the ball, he'll face a stiff test in Bradley.
What to Look For
As we've covered, the Celtics make their money on the defensive end. Like the last time these two teams met, they will be physical with the Knicks and try to make them uncomfortable. Without Ray Allen and with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett unable to create their own shots like they used to, they rely on halfcourt sets and ball movement for scoring opportunities. Pierce dropped 23 on them two weeks ago, but if the Knicks can stay disciplined on D, they should be able to contain the struggling C's. Minutes will continue to be worth watching for the Knicks -- Stoudemire, in particular, has looked more active on offense in the last few games, especially with his ability to get to the free throw line.
For more news and notes on the team follow the New York Knicks and Charlie on Twitter.

Remembering Roberto
Roberto Puon (BSEE '93, MSEE '95), Feb. 5, 1971 - Aug. 30, 2004
Amy and Roberto Puon
Cancer claimed the life of MSU EE alumni and ADTRAN technical wizard Roberto Puon at age 33, leaving us with a tremendous feeling of loss. Faculty and fellow students and workers remember him fondly and with admiration.
Bob Reese (ECE Faculty Member) - "I remember Roberto as a person who could do anything you asked of him, no matter how difficult it was, and do it with a smile on his face. He worked with me in the ERC in the mid 90's and I don't ever remember him failing in a technical task. In that time period, a group of students around campus had formed a paintball club and I was active in it along with Roberto. Many of my memories of Roberto involve him in camouflage, running around the paintball field, having a good time with other members of the club. Roberto enriched the lives of people that he associated with and will be well remembered by those who knew him."
Chip Bagwell ('00) - "Roberto was a mentor to me from my first day at ADTRAN as a Miss. State co-op participant in 1998. Even if he was up against a tight deadline, he could always stop for a few minutes and explore a problem or a design issue that I was having. He also didn't just solve a problem for you. He took the time to guide you though his thought processes so you could understand the solution to the problem."
Wes Reeves ('99) - "Two things always made Roberto stand out; he was always willing to help out, and he was knowledgeable on every subject. Whether it was advice on how two software modules should interact, or how to make a special cable to measure the impedance of an interface, he could help. It was a known fact that he spent more time teaching the rest of us than working on his own."
Tim Schlichter ('99) - "It's hard to put into words just how much Roberto meant to me, professionally and personally. Roberto's technical contributions were far reaching. He was one of those engineers that when he spoke up to give his technical opinion, everyone stopped to listen. He could not have been more highly regarded and respected by his fellow engineers. In terms of technical ability, objectivity, efficiency, patience and humility, there was none better than Roberto.
One of his greatest strengths was his ability to teach the other engineers around him. He had a way of communicating the solution to a problem such that he didn't just come out and give us the answer, but with his guidance we were able to arrive at the solution. Also, he was very teachable. He was always interested in learning new things, getting involved in new projects, and hearing about new technologies. I think this aided his ability to teach the engineers around him."
Jonathan McDonald ('99) - "In our modern world of ever-increasing specialization especially in engineering, Roberto was a rare renaissance man whose broad talents simply exploded the categories into which our profession is sometimes divided. I have witnessed him as comfortable attacking analog problems with high-frequency test equipment as plowing through a massive code base with software engineering tools. No domain of work was beyond him and what he did he did well. More importantly, he never severed his humanity from technology. He was gracious and kind in all that he did. My time with him is valuable and precious especially in grasping what an engineer can be and do."
Kevin Heering ('93) - "Roberto was always amazing in the breadth of his knowledge as well as the depth and became one of the go-to engineers within ADTRAN. He also was very adept at applying his engineering knowledge to solve problems and invent solutions for the products he worked with. However, the most inspiring aspect of Roberto's life was that he did all of these things with a smile and a friendliness that you don't find very often."
Friends of Roberto have raised over $12,000 toward their goal of $25,000 for an endowment to support The Roberto Puon Endowed Scholarship Fund. Contributions can be made to this fund through the MSU Foundation, Roberto Puon Endowed Scholarship, c/o Blake Hudson, Assistant Director of Development, P.O. Box 9544, Mississippi State, MS 39762 or by going online at http://www.msufoundation.com, entering the site and selecting the Make a Gift tab. To direct a gift to a specific ECE fund, go to Part IV, select Other and type Roberto Puon Endowed Scholarship.

C&K Barbecue (4390 Jennings Station Rd., 314-385-8100) takes a notably different tack in its sauce, which has heavy tomato overtones in its aroma and a visible, particulate dose of black pepper and other spices.
The location we stopped in at, designated "No. 3," is housed in an old service station (a recurring motif in numerous local barbecue joints) just south of I-70, directly accessible by way of the Jennings Station Road exit or Natural Bridge from the south. (C&K No. 1 is located at 4334 N. Newstead Ave.; there is currently no No. 2, although for a while several years back they ran a strip-mall outlet in Overland).
Another amazingly long-lived veteran of the local scene, C&K has been around for almost 40 years. A slab here ($13.75) is served very wet, so most of the overall flavor comes from the sweet-and-spicy (and unavoidably messy) sauce. The meat is full-bodied, moderately dense near the bones but especially chewy down around the left-intact flap piece, making this a good choice for those who gravitate toward this unique style of sauce or toward the gnaw-the-bones style of meat. Our order came out in a little more than five minutes.

Phil's (9205 Gravois Rd., 314-638-1313) is also pushing the big 4-0 in age and has always struck me as the patron saint of the St. Louis stewing style, which is blatantly displayed at the carryout counter just to the left of the front door. There you'll see subsections of rib bubbling away in pots of dark, brownish-red sauce.
This style of cooking tends to cause variations in the finished texture of the meat. On this particular visit, it was still clinging consistently to the bones and more chewy than fall-apart. The sauce at Phil's is truly one-of-a-kind, with an aroma and a subtle finish of pumpkin-pie spice, and the cooking style obviously causes it to be a blatant participant in your slab ($16).
A second Phil's is located just off I-44 at 115 W. Fifth St. in Eureka (636-938-6575). Because of the kettle-finishing style, carryout at Phil's is virtually instantaneous.
Our final stop on this particular tour is Chaney's (8224 Olive Blvd., 314-993-1716), a sentimental favorite of mine, owing to my U. City upbringing and the fact that they still use that same late-'60s faux-Peter Max flower-child logo.
With a heritage dating to 1945, Chaney's may just take the title as oldest continuously operating barbecue joint in St. Louis. Its current building was opened in 1962, but it has expanded multidirectionally in the years since, adding a roof over and a screen around the barbecue pit when overzealous health regulators objected to the former open-air cooking approach and later tacking on a group of outdoor tables out back.
Chaney's meat takes the ribs-simulating-ham approach, even extending to a hint of saltiness in the finish. The sauce isn't powerful in any given direction -- a hint of sweet, a hint of spice -- but this balances nicely with the cooking style.
While you're waiting for your order -- we were quoted a 10-minute wait, but the ribs came out in just over five -- be sure to browse the pictures, mementos and clippings on the back wall, which include ticket stubs to Cardinals' World Series appearances in the late '60s. With Hogan's Heroes reruns playing in the family room while I chomped on Chaney's ribs, my trip down memory lane was complete.
CORRECTION: The general manager of the Bacchus Brewery Co. called to correct the statement in last week's column that it hadn't started brewing its own beer before ceasing operations in Union Station. According to the general manager, Bacchus had in fact brewed beer and had also sold it to numerous bars and clubs.

Atlogys Beliefs for IT and Technical Consulting
Why are we doing this?
- Offshore Software Development Lacks on - Scalability, Performance, Ease of Usage, Security and Tests. It is just functional but not Intelligent.
- The Process of end-to-end software development is in-efficient, cumbersome and expensive for the customer.
There are a lot of software vendors out there who can design and implement software solutions. However, many clients do not have the time, the experience and the expertise to judge the optimality of the solution with respect to cost and value addition.
The problems faced by clients are:
- Non Tech-Savvy - Lack of IT knowledge - Clients do not know the ideal solution, the ideal technology or the ideal strategy to adopt given their budget, time constraints and feature restrictions. They waste valuable time and resources in formalizing the specifications and often get biased or ill advice from direct software vendors.
- Single View Point of the software vendor - Customers get a biased input and ill advice from the software vendors directly.
A sanity check and a thorough review of the vendors quotation is a must!
- The product only satisfies the basic feature set - Bad Software Design - Software developed is functional but it often lack on principles of good software design like Scalability, Performance, Testing, Quality, Internationalization, Security Engineering and Documentation.
These solutions cannot be expanded or developed upon in the future. The disadvantage is that the customer wastes money and time again in the redesign and re-implementation of the same solution as per their changing needs and demands.
- Lack of software program management - The business needs of the client are converted into a technical solution as per the wants and desires of the vendor to create a unfavorable quotation. The vendors charge for program manager's involvement but this service is never provided. This leads to unnecessary project delays and diversions from the main functionality.
- Software Vendor Selection - The process of selecting a competent, reliable, experienced vendor for a software solution is time and energy intensive.
- Getting a good deal - It is important to understand the technicalities of the work needed in implementing a software. Only then can one estimate the total man hours needed for the job. Since many clients are not well versed in IT, they are not able to negotiate a good deal in terms of total man hours, fees per hour and project management costs. They end up paying for over-estimation.
- Charging for insignificant scope creeps - Clients often have changing requirements and additions to features after the development begins. Many times, such requests require minor to insignificant coding changes. The vendor ends up charging for these extra instead of accounting for them in the same proposal. Clients are often not aware of the actual coding work involved and pay extra. These insignifacent scope creeps should be considered as part of feature completion and the clients should not have to pay extra for minor additions/changes.
- Lack of Software Delivery Management - Lack of Product Follow-Up - Clients have to constantly followup with the vendor on milestones like demos, project checkpoints, final deployment and product support there-on. This is again very time and resource intensive. The vendors provide no tools and resources for project lifecycle management, tracking changes, maintaining tickets and managing bugs.
To sum up, there are many *ill-designed*, *inefficient* and *expensive* technical solutions being designed and delivered to those in need of IT services.
We want to help in this respect by making the process of end-to-end software development extremely hassle-free and cost-effective.

Physics And Its Applications
Projectile Motion
A projectile is a body which is given an initial velocity at a given angle to the base - and it then follows a trajectory determined by the effect of gravitational force and air resistance . Think of the trajectory of a ball thrown into the air or a cannon ball which is shot .
<< Click here to launch the Projectile Motion visualization applet >>
Mini - Screencaptures :
1. Trajectory of a projectils thrown at an angle X at a velocity V .
2. Trajectory of projectiles with Air Resistance .
3. Trajectory of a projectile on an inclined surface .
Let a ball be thrown with initial velocity V at an angle X to the horizontal .
Horizontal Component of Velocity = V cos X
Vertical Component of Velocity = V sin X
There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction; acceleration in vertical direction is (downwards) g : where g is the acceleration due to gravity .
y - y0 = (V sin X) t - 0.5*g*(t^2)
x - x0 = (V cos X) t
y = x(tan X) - (x^2)*g / ( 2 * ( V cos X ) ^ 2 )
Time to reach ground = V sin X / g
Time to reach the highest spot = 2 * V sin X / g
Range of projectile = ( V ^ 2 ) * (sin 2X) / g
Max Height = ( V sing X) ^ 2 / 2g
This is an example of a
curve .
Now if we assume air resistance there will be retardation in the X direction .
The Horizontal component of velocity as a function of time will now be V cos X - rt
Where r is the retardation due to air resistance .
<< Click here to launch the Projectile Motion visualization applet - 1 >>
In this applet ( the gray-green one ) you can adjust the 1) Starting Velocity 2) Angle at which the projectile is thrown 3) Angle at which the base surface is inclined . This is zero by default for a flat surface .
<< Click here to launch the Projectile Motion visualization applet - 2 >>
In this applet ( white background ) you can experiment with different projectiles thrown with different velocities and observe the effects of retardation due to air resistance . Multiple trajectories can be compared together .
