Ohhhh! How bout the Lebron 11??? Too many Peak stuffs to me...
September 19, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 4
We know that the only video game you can possibly think of at the moment is GTA V, but we have a feeling that feeling will fade after a little while. One of the next big blockbusters around the corner is NBA 2K14, a title that will have the benefit of a pretty wide ranging sneaker selection. Shown here are some of the models that will be immediately available in the game-the selection ending up pretty wide. There's the KD 6, the Jordan Super.Fly 2, the adidas CrazyQuick, and much more. See the shoes after the click and then tell us if you're going to grab NBA 2K14 to your collection come October.

To create buzz for its new Spark mini car, Chevrolet decorated four of them as a tribute to different comics. The one most visible here features characters from the animated series "Adventure Time." The other Sparks lined up alongside it sport artwork from "Buffy
the Vampire Slayer," "Locke & Key" and "Saga." It's not exactly cosplay, which is popular with attendees at New York Comic Con. But at least the Sparks came dressed up. Chevrolet had several displays at the event, including this one in the lobby of the Jacob K. Javits Center.Read the full story about Chevy at NYCC 2012 >

(+Iterator do +Body)
iterator, must be nonvar
callable, must be nonvar
This control structure reduces the need to write auxiliary predicates performing simple iterations. A iterator is a term of one of the following forms:
Iterate Body starting with In=First until Out=Last. In and Out are local variables in Body.
Iterate Body with X ranging over all elements of List. X is a local variable in Body. Can also be used for constructing a list.
Iterate Body with X ranging over all arguments of Struct and I ranging over the argument number, 1-based. X and I are local variable in Body. Cannot be used for constructing a term.
Iterate Body with I ranging over integers from Min up to Max. I is a local variable in Body. Can be used for controlling iteration as well as counting, i.e. Max can be a variable.
Iterate Body with I ranging over integers from Min to Max. I is a local variable in Body. Min and Max can be arithmetic expressions. Can be used only for controlling iteration, i.e. Max cannot be uninstantiated.
For declaring variables in Body global, ie shared with the context. X can be a single variable, or a list of them.
The iterators are iterated synchronously; that is, they all take
their first "value" for the first execution of Body, their second
"value" for the second execution of Body, etc. The order in which
they are written does not matter, and the set of local variables in
Body is the union of those of the iterators. When multiple
iteration specifiers are given in this way, typically not all of them
will impose a termination condition on the loop (e.g.
foreach with an
uninstantiated list and count with an uninstantiated maximum do not
impose a termination condition), but at least one of them should do
so. If several specifiers impose termination conditions, then these
conditions must coincide, i.e. specify the same number of iterations.

On the relevance of the idea of complementarity.
I should like to thank Christopher Rios for his fascinating historical article on the idea of complementarity in discussions about the relation between science and Christian belief ("Claiming Complementarity," PSCF 63, no. 2 [2011]: 75-84). As an octogenarian, I have had the privilege of meeting a number of the protagonists for this idea.
However, as an engineering scientist, I have often wondered whether both scientists and theologians can forget that their specialist disciplines, such as all human knowledge, concern themselves with models of reality. In engineering, such models are constructed by selecting a small number of parameters which are of special importance for the operation of a device or system. These parameters are constructs of the human mind.
Engineers have constantly to remind themselves that their models are not the actual thing. Models can never be a substitute for a full-scale test. Moreover, useful modeling requires many different models of the same object. Thus a thermodynamic model of a gas turbine does not provide information about the price of gas in its effect on the viability of a project. Engineers who ignore economic models go out of business. This does not seem to me to be due to a philosophical principle of complementarity, but to the distinction between necessary and sufficient conditions in the solution of a problem.
A fortiori even the variety of models cannot elucidate the desirability of building a gas power station which depends on its purpose in generating electricity with its social consequences. Although Bohr's principle is undoubtedly important in the context of quantum physics, it may not be relevant to discussions between theology and science. It brings to my mind a comment attributed to Francis Bacon on William Gilbert's book De Magnete, "Gilbert has attempted to construct a world using material insufficient for the pins of a rowing boat."

Are you pulling my leg? Cheap athletic socks that don't feel awful?
When I was training for a three-day walking event to benefit a breast cancer charity about six years ago, I ditched a huge drawer full of cheap, white cotton socks and invested in several pairs of spendy, structured athletic socks. Before that, I hadn't considered myself an athlete and I certainly wasn't doing rigorous enough exercise to warrant buying $15 socks. But when I realized that part of the reason my feet were badly blistered, aching, and sweaty was the stretched-thin cotton I was covering them, I was convinced it was time to switch over.
After one ten-mile walk in the expensive athletic socks, I went home and made sure all of the cheapy socks were gone for good. The good kind have held up well all these years later, and I still love the feeling of the cushioned heel and ball of my foot, the reliable arch support, the wicking fabric and meshy top that keep my feet cool, and that they never slip down when I really get going.
I considered myself a convert, specifically to Thorlo socks. At $13-$15 a pair, this is a commitment I am willing to make for the well-being of my feet and my workouts.
Then the other day, I was cruising through Walgreen's for some first aid supplies, when I noticed that they now carry athletic socks among the knee-high hosiery and corn pads. They were on sale, and I wondered if Walgreen's was stocking cheaper socks that would actually work well for walking. In my curiosity, I bought some.
I chose the most expensive kind I found on the rack — Kushyfoot Athletics. I chose them because they have padded soles and arch support and are made of organic cotton. They promised to massage my feet with every step. The package contained one pair of white, low-cut socks — for $3.49!
I have to say, they are very comfortable. Even though they barely peek up above my running shoes, they did not slip or leave my heel rubbed raw. I can't say that I felt like my feet were getting a rub-down during my workout, but they were surprisingly more cushy to the many pairs of cheapy cotton socks I once owned.
I will still stay true to my Thorlos. Kushyfoot athletic socks are just not as structured and wicking as they are. But I wouldn't hesitate to buy a few more packages of Kushyfoots as runner-up walking socks. That way, if one gets eaten by the washing machine monster or I accidentally leave them at a hotel, I won't be as devastated. If have some kind of workout emergency and have to run in to a Walgreen's, CVS, Publix, or Kroger (just some of the grocery and drug stores where they are sold, according to their website), I will be able to find inexpensive socks I've already road-tested. The best part I won't have to sacrifice wearing socks that feel good.
What kind of socks do you wear to work out in? Are you a sucker for the spendy athletic socks or do you stick with the cheap kind?
How To Jump High Using Olympic Lifts
Hey Athlete's,
Have you ever heard the phrase – Olympic Lifts make Olympic Athletes?
It's TRUE.
Come On Guys… Work On Your Technique Dog-Gone-It!
So what exactly are Olympic Lifts?
What I'm talking about here are cleans and snatches. You know, those exercises for increasing vertical jump that everyone says you need to be doing but no one will take the time to show you how the heck to do them properly.
Yes PROPERLY… This is a very important term, not only for Olympic Lifts but for all vertical jump training.
We are talking about…
Technique… Technique… Technique…? It's ALL about the "T" word.
A lot of coaches say Olympic lifts cause injuries and some claim that they are unnecessary to increase your vertical jump.
The TRUTH is actually the complete opposite!? These lifts can help your vertical jump fly… and the only way you get injured is by poor technique.
Your technique has to be really good and you need to have plenty of practice before incorporating cleans and snatches into your vertical jump training.
You won't get much out of them. So let me help you get this technique down and you will love Olympic Lifts once you technically master them.
Start with a broomstick, then work your way up to a bar.? You will begin to athletically adapt and your vertical gains will follow!
Still not convinced…
Statistically, all those who achieve a snatch weighted to their own body weight, nearly all have a 40 inch standing vertical!
How Freakin Crazy Is That!
Here are articles that give you sound technique on the two Olympic Lifts that will really give you an advantage on the basketball court and ultimately help train you how to jump higher for basketball!? They are the Jump Snatch and the Hang Clean.
Need to know more exercise for you to jump higher, just read this article at : www.healthguidehq.com/jump-higher-exercises.html.

Find Health Insurance to Match your Requirements
It is a wise move to compare the prices whenever you purchase anything. Whether you buy car insurance, life insurance or health insurance, comparing prices is crucial. A cheap health insurance plan to match your budget may in fact not be suitable in terms of coverage. You must find a balance between the cost of health insurance and the coverage. This is possible only if you compare various health insurance quotes. How do you get these quotes? By going online, of course!
Many insurance purchasers avoid comparing quotes simply because it is too much effort to sort through the huge volume of data that you find online. However, one can make the use of insurance websites that act as brokers for health insurance. On making a request on these sites and giving the required information, you will receive at least 4 to 5 health insurance quotes from different providers. Comparing these, you will be able to get the right health insurance to match your needs.
Comparing quotes ensures that you get an affordable policy, the reason being the stiff competition in the insurance industry. Insurance providers are looking for new business and to attract customers are willing to offer discounts on prices. When you compare various online quotes, chances are that you will find the right health insurance to match your budget as well as provide the essential insurance cover.
Blogging for Big Bux
So this website "stuffwhitepeoplelike.com" is huge. It only started a couple of months ago, but it became a "viral sensation," as we say here in InternetLand.
The website is run by a Canadian guy, too, Christian Lander, now living, I believe in Culver City, outside Los Angeles.
It gets some crazy number of hits. Now, like so many others, he's a " blogger with a book deal," Random House in the U.S. reportedly dropped $350 Gs on him for a book based on the blog. The book will, of course, be titled: Stuff White People Like.
The website is basically a list of stuff "white people like," and why. It's quirky: Obama, bicycles, farmer's markets, Toyota Prius's, public radio, vintage clothes, Apple stuff (like iPhones and Macbooks), knowing what's best for poor people, indie music, studying abroad, the Sunday New York Times, etc.
And a lot of it's pretty funny. I laughed at this (in "stuff white people like" #87: "outdoor performance clothes"):
"When white people aren't working, they generally like to wear Outdoor Performance Clothes. The top suppliers of these garments and accessories include North Face, REI, Mountain Equipment Co-Op, Columbia Sportswear, and Patagonia. When you see white people wearing these, it is important that you do not discuss business matters. Instead you should say things like "where did you get that fleece?" and "what's that thing holding your keys to your shorts?""
That gives you a taste of it. And it's obviously struck a chord. Everyone seems to be talking about it, and what a lot of the people who are talking about it are saying is that everyone seems to be talking about it.
Which is great news for the publisher – if it keeps up.
They better pray. For a while there there was a funny site about mullets my friends and I were going to all the time.
Then we stopped. This kind of has a similar feel to me. (I think Random House is feeling something similar, because they're hustling the book out, the guy just signed the deal and the book's coming out this August: in publishing terms that's like running a 30-second mile.)
Anyway, the blog doesn't really resonate with me. It is talking about a specific type of white person I'm just not, thank God. I would never go to an 80s-themed anything, I do not think Sarah Silverman is funny, I type on an IBM, I've never watched Arrested Development, I don't wear Columbia or North Face gear, etc.
It's kind of consumerist. It's kind of mainstream. It's very American, I think, in its flavor. But it's by a white guy, and at its core it's pure, exquisite, perhaps even slightly cruel self-mockery. Which makes it, I think, quintessentially Canadian.
Can Cinnamon and Green Tea Train You The Way to consume Healthy
You may have learned about thermogenic meals (If You're Able To Handle the Warmth, You'll Achieve Healthy Weight Reduction and Diet Food, Drink, or Supplement?) and also the research that supports the healthy weight reduction claims. Cinnamon and green tea are two more meals that, when incorporated properly into healthy diets, give a body fat-fighting boost. You can read more details at this article Honey and Cinnamon for Weight Loss | Health Guide HQ. As you may have expected, there's much more research to base these healthy eating ideas from.
Cinnamon has remarkable benefits to provide to anybody, whether you have to be brought to diet food and shed some pounds or you are already on the right diet and wish to keep your body weight. Inside a recent Scandinavian study, lean and healthy subjects experienced enhancements within their blood insulin sensitivity and bloodstream glucose regulation after eating and enjoying cinnamon. These problems are essential simply because they eventually lower the chance of coronary disease and diabetes.
When it comes to the more significant problem on methods to consume healthy to lose weight, Dr. Richard Anderson (PhD) can offer some good info he discovered by performing research together with his co-workers. They gave participants 2 capsules of cinnamon extract two times each day for 12 days. The entire daily consumption was 500mg, which is like 10g or 1.5Tbsp of cinnamon powder. The outcomes in participants were reduced body fat and elevated lean muscle mass.
Adding 10g of cinnamon to daily foods is not so easy or practical. Plus, Anderson alerts that "when consuming high levels of polyphenols within the diet the salivary glands create a protein that binds and minimizes their effects." This can be a crucial side note because the polyphenols can be the harmful chemicals that induce the advantageous qualities of cinnamon. Knowing this, we are able to propose a capsule, or supplement, as the easiest method to add the good nutrition of cinnamon to the weight loss programs.
Another food which should start being integrated into healthy foods to lose weight is green tea. The key element of the dietary plan meals are epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG for short. After looking at research concerning the tea and also the control over weight problems, Drs. Kimberly Grove (PhD) and Joshua Lambert (PhD) determined that the typical cup of brewed such tea consists of 240-320mg of catechins. 30-50%, or 72-260mg, of the catechins are EGCG.
A properly-reported study by Dr. Abdul Dulloo (PhD) shows what EGCG contributes to healthy eating. Study participants required 2 capsules of green tea extract 3 times each day (with every meal). The daily quantity of EGCG was 270mg, which may be acquired through 3-4 glasses of the tea. 6 from the 10 participants discovered that their 24-hour fat burning capacity rates rose by an additional 63.5-200 calories, with typically 78.3 calories. It is extremely impressive so good diet from green tea can offer exactly the same thermogenic boost as running on the treadmill faster than 9MPH for any couple of minutes.
Consuming three or four glasses of such tea every single day is certainly possible, and it may be an appealing option for those who are searching for alternate healthy weight reduction solutions. Bear in mind, though, that made this type of tea can't be replaced with canned or canned teas or other kind of tea. Manufacturing and storage from the bottles you choose up in the supermarket considerably cuts the quantity of EGCG. Plus, neither black tea or oolong tea benefits contain as numerous catechins, especially EGCG, as green tea.
With all these specifics about when and how to drink green tea for body fat-fighting effects, it begins to resemble dietary fads rather than how you can eat healthy. Why not take a less complicated route that's safe, effective, and convenient? Exactly the same supplement that utilizes the energy of cinnamon to improve healthy diets also uses green tea along with other thermogenic meals. Together, they burn fat like a well-balanced team.

Anti-inflammatory Herb-Coptis
Coptis chinensis is one of the core ingredients of FlameEz?. Coptis has been documented as an herbal medicine for over a thousand years. According to Chinese pharmacopoeia, Coptis is one of the strongest herbs to clear heat, dry dampness, and eliminate toxins. It has been used as a main drug for treating damp-heat syndromes, particularly for intestinal and lung infections. In North America, Coptis root was called the "King of the Herbs." The Native Americans taught the early colonists how to use Coptis root for canker sores and mouth sores, poor digestion, and infections. Due to a high demand for its medicinal value, Coptis became scarce through over-harvesting and goldenseal was used as a replacement. Pharmacological effects of Coptis include broad spectrum of antibiotic, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory activities.
The pharmacological active ingredients of Coptis include berberine, coptisin, palmatine, jatrorrhizine, epiberberine, worenine, columbamine, and magnoflorine.
Based on published scientific and clinical research, Coptis:
Reduces nitric oxide generation and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase;*
Blocks NF kappa B dependent pathways;*
Inhibits proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta;*
Reduces high blood pressure;*
Lowers blood sugar and cholesterol;*
Decreases oxidative stress;*
Increases blood flow to the extremities.*

Texas Law Requires Coverage for Neocate
Did you know that as of the 1st of this year, Texas law began mandating that health insurance companies provide coverage for families needing Neocate?
It is a an amino acid-based infant formula. It is helpful in the nutritional management of food allergy, associated conditions & other GI disorders.
The legislation covers formula administered orally or by a feeding tube. The law requires that insurance companies reimburse you if your child is diagnosed by a pediatrician with one or more of the following diagnosis:
IgE and non IgE-mediated allergies to multiple food proteins (i.e. milk protein allergy)
Severe food protein-induced entercolitis
Eosinophilic disorders
Impaired absorption of nutrients caused by disorders affecting the absorptive surface, functional length, and motility of the gastrointestinal tract.

We like to make our own wing sauce, but you could use a store-bought one if you are pressed for time.
In this recipe we are using a grill to mimic the low and slow cooking of a barbecue. If the temp is too high, the wings will cook more quickly than indicated here. We are trying to achieve a low cooking temperature so that the wings cook slowly.
- 3 pounds chicken wings
- Salt
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp or 1 stick) unsalted butter
- 12 Tbsp hot sauce (Crystal, Texas Pete, Tabasco, etc)
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
1 To make the sauce, mix all of the ingredients together in a small pot set over low heat and stir constantly until the butter melts. Once the butter melts, whisk the sauce vigorously off the heat and set aside. It should remain liquid throughout the cooking process. If it starts to solidify, heat it up just enough to melt it, whisking all the time. You don't want this sauce to boil.
2 Using a sturdy chef's knife or poultry shears, cut off the wing tips and either discard or reserve (we usually freeze) for making chicken stock. Use the knife or shears to separate the drumettes from the flats (the mid-joint wings).
3 Toss the wings with the vegetable oil and the salt, and arrange in one layer on the grill set over indirect low heat. If you are using charcoal or wood, it will be very difficult to do this, so set your fire on one side of the grill and arrange the wings on the other side, away from the direct heat. You want them to cook slowly, with little or no sizzle. Cover the grill and cook like this for 30 minutes.
4 Turn the wings and paint with the Buffalo wing sauce. Close the grill and cook for another 30 minutes. Repeat the process, until the wings are done to your liking, this time painting the wings every 15 minutes or so. Make sure you have a little leftover sauce to toss the wings with at the end.

The device contains only the inertial elements which utilize a separate electric motor unit to accelerate the mass, the inertia of which provides the desired effect for several minutes after which it may again easily be accelerated for further use. The acceleration of the mass is accomplished by a clutch on the end of the electric motor shaft which is removably engageable with a rotatably mounted shaft which has the masses mounted thereon. Once the shaft and the mass has been caused to rotate at the required speed the clutch is disengaged from the rotating shaft. The shaft and the masses are rotatably mounted in a housing with a handgrip portion.

ROBERT J. HERBOLD ATTORNEYS PATENTEDN VZ mm 3.617. 056
ROBERT J. HERBOLD BY KM ATTORNEYS INER'IIA STARTER DUMBBIEILL EXERCISING SYSTEM This invention relates to an exercise device which utilizes the precession effect of rotating bodies to resist displacement in position of its axis of rotation.
In the preponderance of exercise devices, the sought after exercise is accomplished by resisting a force natural to the exercise device, which force is inherently unidirectional. For example, exercise utilizing weights simply consists of overcoming the force of gravity, which force corresponds to the size of weight utilized. While pulley systems can translate the direction of the gravitational force, the resistive force remains fundamentally unidirectional. The same objection may be raised with respect to exercise devices which depend upon springs for exerting a force against which one strives. Further, it may be noted in the case of weights, that the force is constant although the power required to move the weight bears a relationship to the rate of movement. Similarly, spring-loaded exercise devices exert reasonably constant resistance to change in position within their nominal range of operation. It may therefore be observed that an additional dimension may be realized by providing an exercise device in which there is a resistance to change of position in most directions, which resistance to change increases with he effort directed toward effecting the change.
It is therefore a broad object of this invention to provide an improved physical exercise system.
It is a more specific object of this invention to provide a physical exercise system which utilizes resistance to change in position, which resistance increases with a corresponding increase in the effort exerted to bring about the change.
It is a still more specific object of this invention to provide an exercise system utilizing a device which takes advantage of the precession effect of rotating masses.
It is yet another specific object of this invention to provide a device operating in conjunction with the force of gravity.
The manner in which these and other objects of the invention are achieved will become more readily apparent to those conversant in the art from a perusal of the following specification taken in conjunction with the adjoined claims and figures of which:
FIG. I is a perspective view of a self-contained exercise device embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines 2-2 of FIG. I to illustrate the internal structure of the exercise device of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a dumbbell exercise device constructed in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a partially cutaway view of an accessory energizing unit for imparting angular momentum to rotating elements within the device illustrated in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 5--5 of FIG. 3 illustrating the internal structure of the dumbbell exercise device;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of another exercise device which utilizes the unit illustrated in FIG. 4 for bringing a mass contained within its central structure to an angular velocity sufficient to exhibit pronounced precession; and
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the FIG. 6 device showing the internal structure thereof.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the instant invention is illustrated in which the mechanism, includin g the motive power source, is disposed within a central housing 1 arranged concentrically within a circular handgrip 2. The relative placement of the housing 1 with respect to the handgrip 2 is rigidly maintained by a plurality of spokes 3.
Referring now specifically to FIG. 2, it will be observed that an electric motor 4 is fixed concentrically within the housing I. The electric motor 4 is provided with an axially extending output shaft 5 joumaled in ball bearings 6 and 7. A massive weight 8 is fixed to the shaft 5 between the bearings 6 and 7. A massive weight 8 is fixed to the shaft 5 between the bearings 6 and 7 such that the shaft 5 provides support for the weight 8 while permitting it free rotation. The rotating system, comprising the rotating elements of the electric motor 4, the shaft 5, and the massive weight 8, are dynamically balanced with respect to the axis of rotation such that relatively high angular velocities can be achieved and maintained without experiencing undue vibration. The electric motor 4 is energized from ordinary household current through conductors 9 which terminate in a plug 10 for coupling to a wall plug through a suitable cord (not shown).
In operation, the electric motor 4 is energized by coupling the plug 10 to a wall socket in the usual manner. The rotating system, including the massive weight 8 then commences to rotate and acceleration continues until an angular velocity is established at which the electric motor is capable of making up losses but incapable of fdi'ther acceleration. This terminal velocity can be established within the tolerance necessary by properly relating the mass of the weight 8 to the output power capabilities of the electric motor 4 and by adjusting other parameters in the manner well known in the motor arts. It has been found that a terminal velocity of approximately 10,000 r.p.m. produces sufiiciently pronounced precession to achieve the desired object although higher speeds may easily be attained without danger if the rotating system is properly dynamically balanced. It may be noted that a good static balance has been demonstrated to provide satisfactory dynamic operation within the angular velocities contemplated.
Once the desired angular velocity has been attained, it may be either maintained by simply continuing to apply the energizing power to the electric motor 4, or the cord (not shown) may be detached from the plug 10 for cordless operation during which the momentum of the rotating system maintains precession at a slightly decreasing rate corresponding to the decrease in angular velocity.
As the massive weight 8 rotates, the precession effect forcibly tends to resist any change in position of the axis of rotation. It will be observed that the configuration of the exercise device depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2 is such that if the circular handgrip 2 is grasped with both hands in the obvious manner and an attempt is made to move the exercise device in any direction other than a simple forward and backward motion directly along the axis of rotation, a decided force resisting the movement will be brought about. Hence, upward, downward and sideward movements and combinations thereof are resisted much like the upward movement of ordinary weights. While the weight of the exercise device is, of course, a factor in the resistance to movement in the several directions, the use of relatively high angular velocities Those skilled in the art will recognize that the power necessary to sustain a given velocity is, within limits excepting extremely high angular velocity with correspondingly high frictional losses, very much less than the power required to accelerate the same mass to the nominal angular velocity. It will therefore be realized that it would be a simple matter to provide a battery power unit with means, such as a centrifugal switch, for shifting the source of energy for the electric motor 4 from the line to an integral battery pack. This may be achieved in a number of ways which are simply design options. For example, the line may energize the primary of a stepdown transformer within the housing 1 such that a much lower voltage may be utilized to drive the electric motor 4 which may then be of the common AC-DC type functioning at a voltage, for example, of 6 or 12 volts. The battery pack rating simply corresponds. As an additional adjunct, rechargeable batteries, such as the nickel-cadmium type, may be utilized in the battery pack in conjunction with a charger circuit to replenish the cells during acceleration and/or nonuse of the exercise device. Such arrangements, again, are simply matters of design.
FIG. 3 depicts another embodiment of the invention in which the traditional dumbbell exercise device 11, with a slightly modified exterior shape, contains a joumaled massive weight for utilizing the previously discussed precession. The dumbbell 11, however, does not contain an integral source for imparting kinetic energy to the rotating mass but rather cooperates with the energizing unit 12 depicted in FIG. 4.
The internal construction of the dumbbell exercise device 11 may best be understood with reference to FIG. 5. First and second massive weight 13 and 14 are journaled for rotation with respective end portions 15 and 16 of the dumbbell 11 and are locked together by a shaft 17 extending through the handgrip portion of the dumbbell 11. The shaft 17 is supported for rotation by bearings 19 and 20 on the handgrip side of the respective massive weight 13 and 14. It will be understood that sufficient clearance is afforded the weights l3 and 14 and the shaft 17 for free rotation within the bearings 19 and 20 and that the bearings 19 and 20 are adequate to function as thrust bearings to accommodate the slight amount of axial play in the rotating assembly.
Referring now to both FIGS. 3 and 5, it will be observed that the first massive weight 13 is provided with a conical cavity 21 which is utilized in a church coupling to the energizing unit 12 of FIG. 4 as will be described in further detail below.
The energizing unit 12 illustrated in FIG. 4 is utilized to bring the rotating system of the dumbbell 11 to the desired angular velocity after which the momentum of the rotating system is utilized to bring about the precession effect as one exercises. The energizing unit 12 comprises an electric motor 22 secured to a cover plate 23 such that its output shaft projects upwardly through the cover plate. A conical clutch member 24 is fixed to the output shaft for engagement with the conical cavity 21 of the dumbbell 11. A generally cylindrical housing 25 encompasses the electric motor 22 and is supported by a base 26 which provides stability for the entire assembly.
The cover plate 23 is assembled to the housing 25 by means of a plurality of bolts 27 which mate with corresponding threaded borings in the top of the housing 25. The threaded borings are limited to depth such that the bolts 27 cannot be screwed entirely home. A plurality of springs 28 (one only shown in the cutaway view of FIG. 4) are arranged symmetrically about the upper periphery of the housing 25 in order to urge the cover plate 23 into a normal, spring-loaded, upwardly biased position against the underside of the heads of the bolts 27. The springs 28 seat in corresponding recesses provided both in the bottom of the cover plate 23 and the upper surface of the housing 25. Thus, it will be understood that the normal position of the cover plate 23 is that in which upward movement is limited by the heads of the bolts 27 and that moderate pressure exerted downwardly on the cover plate 23 will move the cover plate and motor 22 down until the cover plate 23 seats upon the upper edge of the housing 25.
A normally open switch 29, which may be of the wellknown Microswitch type or an equivalent, is fixed to the base 26 with its actuating mechanism directed upwardly such that when the cover plate 23 and motor 22 assembly is pushed downwardly, the actuating mechanism is operated to close the contacts. The switch 29 is wired in series with one side of a power cord 30 to the motor 22; hence, closing the contacts of the switch 29 will result in the energization of the motor 22 provided the plug 31 is in communication with a suitable power source.
In operation, the dumbbell 11 is grasped and the conical cavity 21 is pushed downwardly upon the mating conical clutch member 24 to simultaneously depress the cover plate 23 and the motor 22 which actuates the switch 29 and energizes the motor. The motor then commences to rotate and the rotation is communicated to the massive rotating assembly within the dumbbell 11 through the clutch comprising the conical cavity 21 and the conical clutch member 24. The dumbbell 11 is held down against the energizing unit 12 until the desired angular velocity has been attained after which it may be used to exercise in a manner which takes advantage of the force of precession.
It has been found, in the case of the dumbbell exercise device 11, that it is desirable to have at least two sizes differing both in weight and angular momentum capacity to accommodate the various physical capabilities encountered within an average family. It has further been found desirable to rovide a plurality of flat areas 32 on the end portions 15 an 16 of the dumbbell structure 11 to prevent the dumbbell from rolling, particularly when the rotating system is in motion.
FIGS. 6 and 7 depict yet another embodiment of the invention in which, like the dumbbell of FIGS. 3 and 5, angular momentum is imparted to a rotating mass by the energizing unit 12 of FIG. 4. As best shown in FIG. 6, the exercise device 33 generally comprises a centrally disposed housing 34 and outboard handgrips 35 and 36 fixed to the central housing by support structure 37 and 38. The internal structure of the exercise device 33 is straightforward and is best shown in FIG. 7. A massive weigh 39 is fixed to a shaft 40 for rotation within ball bearings 41 and 42. A conical cavity 43, corresponding to the conical cavity 21 of the dumbbell 11, mates with the conical clutch member 24 whereby angular momentum may be imparted to the rotating system of the exercise device 33 in a manner closely related to that utilized with the dumbbell exercise device 11. Once the desired angular velocity is attained, the exercise device 33 is used in a two-handed fashion in much the manner previously described in conjunction with the integrally powered exercise device depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2.
While the principles of the invention have now been made clear in an illustrative embodiment, there will be immediately obvious to those skilled in the art many modifications of structure, arrangement, proportions, the elements, materials, and components, used in the practice of the invention which are particularly adapted for specific environments and operating requirements without departing from those principles.
1. An exercise system including:
A. a housing;
B. handle means secured to said housing;
C. a shaft;
D. a mass affixed to and circumferentially disposed about said shaft within said housing, said shaft and said mass being supported by bearings for rotation within said housing, said mass and said shaft being dynamically balanced about their axis of rotation, said mass and said shaft being of such a size and weight as to be manually movable during an exercise program; and
E. motive means for accelerating said mass to an angular velocity sufficient to impart pronounced precessional resistance to change in position of the axis of rotation of said mass and said shaft, said motive means being removably engageable with said shaft, and said mass comprising weights fixed to the respective ends of said shaft.
2. The exercise system of claim 1 in which said motive means comprises an electric motor disposed in an energizing unit housing, said electric motor being provided with an output shaft extending beyond said energizing unit housing, and means on the end of the electric motor shaft in the unit housing for temporarily coupling said motor output shaft to said mass.
3. The exercise system of claim 2 which includes switch means responsive to the temporary coupling between said motor output shaft and said mass for correspondingly temporarily energizing said electric motor.
4. The exercise system of claim 1 in which said weights are disposed in corresponding first and second portions of said housing, said handle means connecting said first and second portions of said housing.

Sheets can be made from many different fabrications. Various fibers and weaves are ultimately responsible for the particular performance characteristics of a sheet set.
Microfiber: Microfibers are tiny synthetic fibers. They measure less than one denier in size. They are one of the most commonly used fabrics in the upholstery industry; this is because of their ability to repel moisture and their strength and durability against wear and tear. This fabric can be used to make woven, non-woven and knitted textiles. Microfibers are also very soft to the touch, so they are great in water repellent clothing.

Alaska is strange! I went to Anchorage about two weeks before our cruise and it was beautiful...sunny every day. I thought that was what it was like. We were there for over a week with a NASA workshop on climate change.
We even took a small tour boat out of Sewell and toured the Kenai fjords and there wasn't a cloud to be seen. Turns out that is the strange weather.
We cruised from Vancouver and it was sunny most of our trip but as we went along it got cloudier. It was sort of raining when we went to the College Glaciers.

Named after their first meal together, The Werks have endured a couple of personnel shifts along the way: The band's current lineup consists of co-founders Chris Houser (guitar) and Chris Chafin (drums), joined in 2008 by keyboardist Norman Dimitroleas, followed by his bassist brother Dino in 2011 (both had been members of popular Dayton band, The Maji).
One of the keys to the Werks' success has been their acceptance of concert taping from the outset; the Internet Music Archive (archive.org) currently has close to 60 Werks concerts available for free download. They've described their sound as "Psychedelic Dance Rock" and utilize Space Rock, Jamtronica, Funk and classic '60s Psychedelia.
The Werks' self-titled third album — released this past spring and easily their best work to date — was clearly the catalyst for their rise to jambase.com's top position, so set your controls for the heart of Ohio and tell them to give you The Werks.

We purchased this dress, for our flower girls after visiting numerous bridal shops. We didn't want to pay $200 bucks for the children. After browsing your website, we found exactly what we had in mind! Something with alot of bang within our price limits!!!! The girls tried them on and they both thought they were little princesses! They were happy and so are we!

I bought six dresses from size 3 to 14 and they were all that I had expected. I had to change sizes on a couple of dresses and was grateful that they were still available six months later. It is a good style to keep in stock.

Perfect find for 1 year old flower girl. Had looked at many, many dresses this one was perfect for the style and the look. Was one of the few we could find in Ivory. We removed the ivory ribbon belt and replaced it with a black ribbon to match the older flower girl dresses. Worked great.
Love it

Flower girl dress was perfect. Ribbon could be interchanged with another color or sash if desired, but it's perfect as is. The 2T fit my tall two-year old, and my sister's 18 month old. Length was perfect on both. Color is soft ivory and worked with soft white accessories.
So precious!
By Future Bride
from Texas
I ordered these dresses for my flower girls. They are so cute and well made. They have pearl buttons in the back and the tool fluffs up to make it a little more full. The length is great and allows for the shoes to be seen. I'd definitely recommend these to anyone especially for the price.

THE DETAILS: The study researchers mailed surveys to 446 internists, family doctors, and general practice physicians across the country. Forty percent said they had worked at a religiously affiliated hospital, the most common being Roman Catholic, followed by other Christian denominations then Jewish-affiliated hospitals. In response to the question, "Have you ever had a conflict with that hospital regarding its religiously based policies for patient care?", one in five doctors answered yes. When asked, "What should a physician do if he/she believes that a patient needs a medical intervention, and the hospital where the physician works prohibits that intervention because of religious affiliation?", 86 percent said doctors should encourage the patient to seek treatment at another hospital, while 10 percent said doctors should recommend an alternative treatment acceptable to the hospital. Just 4 percent said they would provide the prohibited treatment in violation of hospital policy, which would risk their job and hospital privileges.
WHAT IT MEANS: Your doctor may not always agree with a hospital's religious policies, but those policies can still affect your care, says lead study author Debra Stulberg, MD, instructor in the department of family medicine at the University of Chicago. "This is not a very well understood problem," she notes. "We're just beginning to get a sense of what physicians are experiencing."
The study didn't look at which policies caused the most conflict, but Dr. Stulberg says that from personal and anecdotal experience, reproductive health and end-of-life issues are the most contentious. For instance, she says, if a rape victim visits an emergency room, standard hospital procedure calls for providing the victim with emergency contraception. However, "according to some Catholic hospitals, that treatment is considered abortion and is not allowed," say Dr. Stulberg. In such time-sensitive situations, she adds, sending that patient to another hospital would delay care and reduce the effectiveness of treatment. It's these emergency situations that tend to be the most problematic. "Sometimes a situation arises that a doctor doesn't expect, and the doctor discovers only at that moment that the hospital doesn't allow the treatment."
Another contentious issue is the use of artificial nutrition and hydration (feeding tubes). A hospital may be at odds with a family member who doesn't want his or her loved one who is in a vegetative state to get a feeding tube. Sometimes the patient himself has requested beforehand not to be put on a tube. "Some hospitals are more responsive to these requests, but others are more rigid," says Dr. Stulberg. "They say these are the policies and you have to follow them."
On the one hand, it's encouraging that doctors are so willing to refer patients to other institutions where a contentious procedure can be performed, believes Dr. Stulberg. On the other, that could be a problem for people who may not have the option of going elsewhere because they live in a rural area or because their insurance won't pay. "From the hospital's standpoint, it's easy to say that a person can find someplace else to go," says Dr. Stulberg. "But the reality is that people don't always have another place to go."
The best way to protect your rights as a patient is to discuss matters with your doctor as well as your preferred hospital:
• Find out where the doctor stands. Federal law allows doctors to deny treatments to patients based on moral grounds, even if the physician is not affiliated with a religious hospital. So it's important to discuss reproductive health, end-of-life issues, or any other concerns you have so you know where your doctor stands. For instance, if you need to go on birth control, ask if your doctor has any objections. In rare cases, doctors won't provide this, and you may have to pay out-of-pocket to see a doctor who will.
• Find out where the hospital stands. If your preferred hospital has a religious affiliation, ask about its policies. "Roman Catholic hospitals and some other Christian denominations, such as Adventists, tend to have clear, written, policy statements you can check," says Dr. Stulberg. Also, Catholic hospitals usually have the strictest guidelines, she adds. "Others, such as Lutheran, Methodist, or Jewish hospitals, may have statements of values and what it means for them to be religiously affiliated, but those statements don't always specifically say what's allowed and what's not allowed."

I have to perform some task which need to access the screen data in the framebuffer of OS X. In 10.6.8 we can get the framebuffer base address by using Quart Display Service API, but we can not do this in 10.7 or 10.8.
Apple suggest to get the screen image by using CGDisplayCreateImage. But it is inefficient to get the raw image data because we have to draw the obtained image object to a context.
Is there other ways to get the raw data of a framebuffer?
