Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's stinging rebuke of the Obama administration Tuesday regarding its policy towards Iran was seen by many observers as correct but impolitic — especially in the midst of an election campaign.
"Substantively he may be right, but politically he's dead wrong," said Alon Pinkas, a former Israeli consul general in New York. "This is too sensitive and important an issue to be reduced to statements in the media. It should be dealt with in discreet negotiations."
Aaron David Miller, an adviser on Arab-Israel affairs to six U.S. secretaries of state, said that although negotiations and sanctions have failed to stop Iran's quest for nuclear weapons, "Israel is making matters worse by allowing differences with the U.S. to spill out into the open. It's not necessary and [it's] counterproductive."
Pinkas said, "The friction is more between Netanyahu and President [Barack] Obama than between their countries."
An announcement late Tuesday appeared to confirm that. It was announced that Obama had declined Netanyahu's request for a meeting later this month when Netanyahu flies here to address the United Nations General Assembly. An Israeli official was quoted as saying that Netanyahu was prepared to fly to Washington for the meeting but was told Obama's schedule was too full.
Eytan Gilboa, a political science professor at Bar-Ilan University who studies Israeli-U.S. relations, said Netanyahu's "message may be right, but the way he delivers it might not be right. It is counterproductive. If you want to cooperate with the U.S., you have to tone down private statements. The only party to benefit from it was Iran."
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said subjects like Iran should be discussed frankly but behind closed doors (an echo of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's statements during his recent visit to Jerusalem that were seen as a dig at Obama).
Opposition leader Shaul Mofaz expressed concern that the prime minister was "sacrificing relations with Israel's closest strategic allies in the U.S. and Europe on the altar of stopping the Iranian nuclear program."
Netanyahu's on-the-record reproach of the U.S. recalled several open clashes with Obama from earlier in the president's term, but Israeli analysts said they could not recall a time when an Israeli prime minister attacked a president on such a politically sensitive issue in the heat of a re-election campaign. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz termed Netanyahu's comments an "unprecedented verbal attack on the U.S. government."
The comments came during a joint news conference in Jerusalem with the visiting prime minister of Bulgaria, Boyko Borisov. At one point, Netanyahu began speaking in English about Iran in response to the comments Sunday of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She had told Bloomberg Radio that the U.S. would not agree to Netanyahu's request that it set clear red lines or deadlines for Iran in order for it to avoid a military attack from the international community.
The U.S. and Israel believe Iran is intent on building a nuclear weapon; Iran denies it.
In his comments Tuesday, Netanyahu said: "The world tells Israel 'wait, there's still time.' And I say, 'Wait for what? Wait until when?' Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel. …
"So far we can say with certainty that diplomacy and sanctions haven't worked. The sanctions have hurt the Iranian economy, but they haven't stopped the Iranian nuclear program. That's a fact. And the fact is that every day that passes Iran gets closer and closer to nuclear bombs. Now Iran knows that there is no red line. If Iran knows that there is no deadline, what will it do? Exactly what it's doing. It's continuing, without any interference, towards obtaining nuclear weapons capability and from there, nuclear bombs."
Israeli political analysts could only speculate about the motives behind Netanyahu's remarks. Gilboa suggested that Netanyahu's preachy tone was trying to appeal to America's tendency toward backing morally driven foreign policy goals.
"He is trying to play a game by using American moral rhetoric to influence American leaders," he said, noting the prime minister's frequent comparison of Iran to Nazi Germany. "Netanyahu feels very strongly that a strong stand against Iran is a moral issue. Sixty years after the Holocaust you don't stand down … and whoever isn't ready to stand up, is taking an immoral position.''
There were some Israelis who suggested that Netanyahu was interfering in the American election.
Mofaz, the opposition leader, accused Netanyahu of sticking his hand "too deep into the U.S. ballot box."
Alon Ben-Meir, a professor of international relations at the Center for Global Affairs at New York University, said that had this not been an election year the U.S. "might have taken a different approach. The U.S. at this juncture does not want to create new turmoil in the Middle East. … Netanyahu is raising these questions specifically because of the election campaign."
"He is not stupid," he said, noting that Netanyahu is trying to win commitments from Obama now that he will have to fulfill should he be re-elected.
Ben-Meir added that Romney "has applied more pressure" to Obama by "saying the U.S. is being timid in dealing with Iran."
Others pointed out that Danny Danon, a member of Netanyahu's Likud Party and deputy speaker of the Knesset, is now in the United States promoting his book, "Israel: The Will to Prevail," which is critical of Obama for his Middle East policy.
Danon told The Jewish Week Tuesday morning that Obama "failed to understand the complex mentality of the Middle East" and that he began his presidency by presenting a "wishful peace plan on the Middle East. That was the reason he failed. It takes more than a nice speech like he gave in Cairo … to make a change."
He said Netanyahu intended to meet with Obama later this month in the U.S. "to talk of this delicate issue [red lines and deadlines for Iran]. The prime minister understands the importance of such a meeting. But before the meeting could even take place, the administration announced there would be no change in its policy of sitting idly by and ignoring the reality in the Middle East. …
"Instead of dealing with delicate issues in closed rooms, we in Israel read about the policy of the U.S. in the headlines of newspapers. … There is a big gap between what we hope to see from the great and strong U.S., which is supposed to lead the rest of society against the Iranian nuclear race."
Danon added that the "feeling in Israel is that the people in Washington decided not to decide. … I don't believe American forces [now positioned near Iran] will engage Iran [if Israel attacks Iran]."
One Israeli official involved in ties between the two allies rejected the suggestion that Netanyahu deliberately entered the playing field of the U.S. campaign. The diplomat bemoaned that the overlap of the showdown over Iran and the final weeks of the election is "distorting" the U.S.-Israel discourse on how to deal with the problem.
"Our clock and Iran's clock seem to be coinciding with these damn elections," the official said. "Now there's a perception of intervention in the elections, which isn't the case."
Seeking to dispel the notion that the Israeli government seeks a Romney victory, the official said there are many in the Israeli government who believe that Obama will be better positioned as a second-term president to order an attack against Iran earlier.
Another explanation for Netanyahu's exhortation was that he believes he has no tools left with which to deter Iran and prod the international community into tougher action, except continued saber rattling. Others suggested he is just trying to lay down an argument in preparation for a unilateral attack.
"He's continuing the policy of signaling to the U.S. and Europe that unless they act, Israel will be forced to act alone, and [the U.S. and Europe] will pay the price of the spike in oil prices," said Gerald Steinberg, a political science professor at Bar-Ilan University.

Bibi is exactly right and did the exact right thing. Folks, Iran is serious business. Obama promised that he would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Well, Iran is still on track to develop their weapon while Obama is doing a lot of talking. If Netanyahu can't call attention to Iran now, when should he? After Iran has the weapon?
Israel tried to deal with these delicate issues in closed rooms only to be repeatedly frustrated by the Obama administration. Netanyahu aired the matter in public because he was left with little choice. After Hillary Clinton's flat refusal to set a time table for Iran to stop its quest for nuclear weapons, I cannot see why anyone (Jew or non-Jew) who cares for Israel's safety, and who fears a terrorist state like Iran getting its hands on a nuclear weapon, would vote for Obama.

HTC One X vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus
0. phoneArena 06 Apr 2012, 04:14 posted on
A lot of users out there who are considering buying the new HTC One X are probably wondering if it's really better than the Galaxy Nexus, which is a device that has an almost identical footprint. Well, of course a lot of users will be torn between these two powerhouses, seeing that they feature displays that are almost exactly the same in terms of size, and both run Android 4 ICS...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

Ok, so I've had the htc one x for 3 days now, vodafone delivered early. For starters; all this nonsense about the stock web browser is true but an absolute joke because I'm running chrome and their has been no force closes, no pinch zoom blank nonsense & no resize/ refresh bs either. Everyone wants to know about the battery life so I want to share my experience today,
- so today I turned on wifi, bluetooth, gps & roaming.
- Watched half a 720p movie.
- Popped 3GB of music onto the internal memory
- played music for a couple hours
So basically I took the phone off charge at 7am. At 11pm their was 9% left on the battery. I think I can confidently say that the device lasts a full day. If anyone has any question, I'm happy to answer them based on my experience over the last few days. I don't understand why phone arena is being so tough on the HTC One X.....

That's actually impressive. You don't have 4G but you have the 1800 mah battery which should get better as it gets conditioned. Thanks for the info! I might seriously look at the one x, or for me, Evo 4G LTE.

HTC One X
Best phone display ever
Superb design and materials
Camera UI is best in class
Tegra 3 screams
Sense 4.0 is still as much a liability as an asset
Hard button experience isn't perfect
Photo and video quality only average
44. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
You'd think that HTC would improve their User Interface from their troubles with the HD2, Inspire, and other phones that have screens larger than 4.3".......I guess not. I knew that the Nexus would beat the One X because HTC Sense has had the same problems within ICS as they have with previous Android versions. I have the Inspire w/ Gingerbread and Ive recieve countless force closes and screen delays. I dont know if its the just the UI itself or something more, but this is why I will not get another HTC phone.
Samsung and Motorola have made good phones and are of a better quality than HTC. every phone manufacturer have their flaws, but the ones with the least will earn my respect and my AT&T upgrade eligibility......which is why Im getting the Note
49. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Go to any other review and they say the opposite of what is said. So far this phone was given one of the best Android phone designs to date by every one of those reviews, and Sense has been way toned down. There were no mentions of forced closed or slow browsers.
You talk about past Sense and past hardware. Lets keep focus on the newer hardware and Sense. The GN has only ASOP going for it at this point compared to the One X, and I for one was looking to get the GN until this is now showing up for Sprint. I could only want a GN for future Jelly Bean updates, but let's face it hardware, and true speed goes to the One X, which blows away the Note.
I was so scheming on the Galaxy Nexus from Sprint, but not now. The Galaxy Nexus is so last year. SAmoled will fall to SLCD, and every review says that the SLCD One X is the best screen to date for Android. The One X is the phone to beat "RIGHT NOW". I have only read bad reviews from Phone Arena for this phone. Every other Blog Review gives this phone stellar achievements in Design, Speed, and screen appearance....what gives Phone Arena....yes you are entitled to be the lone wolf in the night I guess with this phone's review.
This thing best the Note that you so badly want Jerediah...maybe thats why you can't seem to see the good in this phone....... hmmmmm!
htc-one-x-or-samsung-galaxy-nexusI read this a few days ago on Android central. A better Galaxy Nexus VS the HTC One X review comparison lol
Late-night poll: HTC One X or Samsung Galaxy Nexus? The One X beats Nexus in this poll on Android Central lol
52. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
what about the battery life?? thats been the main disappointment with most of the HTC phones ive seen. whats the use of any "super phone" HTC offers when the battery cant keep up?? im going to disregard LTE connectivity because it would eat up the battery of most LTE phones anyway. Id figure that they have the battery to support the amount of power the One X is supposed to bring
59. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
See Geoffers247 personal review above, and search any Tech sites blog review of the One X and post one place where the battery is a fail so far. I challenge any one of you haters to post a review other than PA where these issues including the battery is a no go!
96. joes907 (Posts: 4; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
Touchwiz is far inferior to sense. I used the note the other day and when swiping through the homescreens, I noticed it doesn't completely follow your finger but does a sort of fake transition to make it look smoother, but it still lagged.
Also, aesthetically, many people think that sense is superior to all other Android skins.
And in terms of hardware quality, HTC is also far superior to samsung.

50. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
And even without any modification whatsoever, the One X isn't just one of the best Android phones I've ever used — it's one of the best mobile devices I've ever used, period.
Whereas before Sense constantly gave you the feeling that the phone was struggling to keep up with your taps and swipes, with the One X we found little to complain about in terms of lag.
Just give me a One X running something closer to stock Android 4.0, HTC, and I believe you've got the best smartphone ever made. All above quote from The Verge review
The HTC One X is easily my favorite phone on the market today. Even Samsung's Google Galaxy Nexus pales in comparison. The sexy hardware design, the updated Sense 4 user interface, and the amazing camera team up with blazing performance to make the One X an unstoppable force of nature that I simply must have in my hand. quoted from Tech Spot review
If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm pretty smitten with the HTC One X. For me, the Super LCD 2 display is too good to pass up. It will spoil you for just about everything else. It's that good. The camera is about as good as advertised, and that's with me using it on full-automatic. Start adjusting settings and paying more attention to white balance, and they'll get even better. Hardware and battery life are excellent.
So long, Galaxy Nexus. It's been real. Android Central quote One X vs GN
There's absolutely no doubt that the One X is a masterpiece of an Android device: it obliterates pretty much all of its competitors by giving even the mighty Galaxy Nexus a run for its money. HTC's really crafted something special here, with a brilliant combination of branding, industrial design and user experience. This handset looks and feels stunning, with top-notch materials and build quality, the most gorgeous display we've ever stared at on a phone.. Engadget review quote
The HTC One X is without question the creme de la creme of Android phones right now. It's the phone Android users have been waiting for. There wasn't a single issue that I can think of that disappointed me. From its beautiful industrial design to its super fast processor, the One X should be at the top any smartphone shopper's list when it hits store shelves in early April quote from Techno Buffalo an true iPhone loving site.
Damn I can't find any bad reviews unless I come to phone Arena. rofl I could post more but why should I...you get the point
76. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
T-Mobile might be getting a version of the One X with stock ICS. It'll be apart of the G-series, and they always have stock on those
53. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
I don't mean to troll, but I must say I'm quite appalled and disappointed that the One X has these...deficiencies. I'm very surprised that the Quad-Core processor is not living its expectations. I came here expecting the One X to win by a landslide but I guess I was wrong. I am very surprised at the browser performance; that needless reflowing could be quite annoying and that Flash portrayal was HORRIBLE. And multiple crashes on a Quad-Core device? That's...surprising. I'm not an Android fan by any means but I did have high hopes for the One X. The Galaxy Nexus is an "OK" device and I thought it would be beat out by its Android counterparts. Guess I was wrong.
58. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
seems that these issues only were Phone Arena's issues. I have not seen this in any other review wake up!
54. TMach (Posts: 454; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
I think it best to give any PA review a wide berth! I have both these handsets and first of all, in Europe the only variant you can get of the GN is the 16gb version which makes for an epic fail. I love the curved nature of the nexus but the One x feels absolutely stunning to hold and I find it easier to use with one hand, not entirely comfortably, as it feels so much more compact. The trick I believe is similar to that used in the design of the Sensation which somehow felt smaller than other 4.3 inch screen phones.
There are some obvious discrepancies in the review, as the pictures taken with the Nexus look washed out and I much prefer those taken by the One x.
In truth, and until another quad core beast comes along, the One x is by a distance the best android phone out there with Xperia S running it a close second in my humble opinion. That comparison by these bunch of fxxkwits should be interesting!
55. wizzardtech (Posts: 59; Member since: 12 Mar 2012)
i have a cellphone business here in our locals and i tried this both devices already.
for me, htc One x is way better than GNEX in a lot of aspect. design, quality materials,
camera, processor, UI, solid feel to it. htc One X, u can really feel and noticed that its a high end phone not like GNEX, cheap material, just an ordinary phone to me. cheap looking and you wont even think of keeping.

This needs a second opinion cuz from what ive seen everywhere else reviews and ratings are diferent.
68. barondebxl (Posts: 131; Member since: 04 Nov 2011)
The HTC one X is a little disappointment to me. Not because of what phone arena is showing, because the phone has so many issues. Battery life, screen defects, lag in browser, sense keeps crashing on a quad core processor. The phone itself is the se jest on the planet, the screen is amazing and the UI is fast ( when it doesn't crash). But again it launched with some bad issues like crashes and unstable stock bowser. The Galaxy s3 won't launch with any lag everyone knows that. That's unacceptable.

reghardware.com review posted by XDA review thread got 90% a 9!
Chart topper
At 130g HTC One X is 5g lighter than the Galaxy Nexus and 10g lighter than the iPhone 4S. Yes it's taller and wider than the iPhone but it has a much bigger screen, so what do you expect? Unless you have the hands of a child, the size is no impediment to use.
The One X's ability to run 3D games like Shadowgun and play 1080p video in any and all formats is so all-encompassing it's easier for me list the things it can't do. Which is nothing. And, boy oh boy, do games and videos look good on that HD screen.
Is the display better than that of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus? Tough call. The Samsung OLED manages a better absolute black, but colours look more natural on the HTC's IPS LCD panel. Both are bright and have very robust viewing angles.
Thanks to an f/2.0 aperture lens, a back-illuminated sensor and the ICS panorama capture facility the 8Mp camera fitted to the One X closes the gap on the best from Sony and Nokia. Even casual snaps look rather impressive and you get more shooting effects than you can shake a stick at and the ability to take still images while recording video. It's a fast camera too.
Quad-core corker
HTC's quad-core flagship smartphone with nearly all the trimmings.
Suggested Price: £500

93. androidsquietgood (Posts: 2; Member since: 11 Apr 2012)
Surely the htc's camera is the better one. But the shuttery video recording and firstly the bad audio recording makes the 1080p feature invalid. I mean you can't record a video if you're going to see a live concert, you can't record video while being in a louder location eg some restaurant or what, you can't even record a vlog or something, because the audio sounds like a 60's microphone. It's alwys been an htc problem and I can't understand why this still exists. I mean everything is high quality but video recording is junk?! I know there are quiet alot of people sharing a similar view but I always have the feeling most people ignore this fact.
The nexus' design isn't that bad, the white version actually looks pretty cool (similar to the one x), the only problem is the back of the phone. It seems that samsung tried to create a certain "samsung-trademark" but it looks really un-chic. Further, a unibody case always looks more elegant, but then you have the problem that there is no battery to be changed.
97. TMach (Posts: 454; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
For an unbiased and true review of this handset, go and read the Engadget Review. Absolutely agree with it having now used the phone for 1 full week.
Not a comparison but a true review of the handset based on its relative merits!

I can't believe this stupid debate! If you have actually used both phones, which I have, then feel free to comment sensibly on the merits of either handset. I have owned both and as you may guess still own the One x. Well, I sold my SGN although I thought it was a cracking phone and vanilla android is always a good thing.
The One x takes user experience just that bit further and quite frankly, I might have been more reluctant to make the jump but the 16gb thing just did not fly.
Loving my One x!

Well, the bottom line is if this is HTC's flagship phone, it's a dissappointment really if the nexus comes that close to beating it in a review. Especially when you know that right around the corner Samsung is gearing up to announce a new galaxy phone, most likely the Galaxy S III and it will again top charts and push the boundaries of the current norm. And i personnally don't like HTC's phones because of the processors they use. They normally use either Tegra or Qualcomm . I just don't think these processors match up when compared to the Omap and Exynos. HTC's Sense does give a polished look to it's phones but it also is tough on the battery as well. compared to the other UI's it is the most taxing on the system.

Don't waste money in Samsung galaxy Nexus, htc one x is the best. I had SC2 User before, the battery life poor and super amoled cause my eyes unconfortable when you long time watching and not natural, now the super ips lcd 2 is the best screen in market.

I'm waiting for the Galaxy S 4. After checking out the galaxy nexus, one x and galaxy s3, I couldn't understand why I would downgrade. I have a Samsung Galaxy s2 and the screen is noticeable better then the other 3 phones, the s3 doesn't have the super amloed plus screen. Its the main thing that is making me wait but there are other things as well. The s2 has a 1.5ghz Dual core cpu the same as the s3, the only upgrade on the s3 is the 2gb of ram but I don't need more then the 1gb of ram that I have now.if you have a Galaxy s2 you are set. I almost bought into the hype myself but I'm so happy I didn't. The Screen on the s3 is .3 inches bigger and a little higher resolution but it does not use the normal RGB matrix so it only has half the sub pixels as the s2. That's why you see all the black lines on the s3's screen. If theyreleased a versionof the s3 with a Super Amloed plus screen, I would go for it but until then the Galaxy s2 is still the superior phone. It looks like I'll be sticking with my s2 for another year but I'm fine with that and now that its running 4.0 it really is the best phone all around and for the price you really can't beat it.
112. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Are you kidding? I mean, really? I honestly hope you're trolling or being sarcastic, but if you are serious; first of all,
The screen on the One X is unmatched, 4.7" S-LCD2 IPS 720p HD uses the full pixel matrix, and not Pentile like the Galaxy S III and Nexus (which only makes it lose 1/3 of a sub-pixel, not half) but I can see why you say the GS2 display is better than the GS3 and the Nexus.
The dual-core CPU on the Galaxy S 3 and Galaxy S 2 are leagues apart. Sure, they're both 1.5 GHz, but they use 2 different architectures. The CPU in the Galaxy S 2 uses the Snapdragon S3 processor, using the A-9 architecure, and is one of, if not the, worst performing dual-core CPUs because of it's underclocked graphics.
The processor in the Galaxy S 3 and One X uses the new generation Snapdragon S4 processor, which uses the new A-15 architecture making it about 50% faster and about 20% more power efficient than the previous Snapdragon S3.
And, even though the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S 3 use Pentile technology, the resolution on both of them are 720x1280 HD, and compared to the 480x800 on the Galaxy S 2, it is an improvment and only someone with a trained eye can tell that it's using Pentile.
The Galaxy S2 is outmatched in every category.

this guy must be insane for making that statement about the screens of the 3 phones compared to galaxy s2. Havent u seen by now that htc one x super lcd2 is unbeatable at the moment? Go to a store pick up an htc one x put it side by side with your galaxy s2 and whatch how easily u will throw your galaxy out the window.

International One X is 5000+ now after the last update! Just keeps getting better.

Ray and others need to do another review with that rediculous 7.8 that was given to the one x

Ha! I bet no one is thinking the One X is a better phone now that the Nexus is rocking that buttery smooth Jelly Bean. lol Just saying.

HTC, We all know are very good with updates especially to their newest devices. Just you wait and see Jelly Bean will be on International One x asap

Sorry guys but the International GN only has 16gb which is not expandable. I could not live with this and sold it although it was IMHO the nicest handset until the One X. One X is superior in all respects except maybe to hold, I have no issue with holding it but accept the GN is a tad nicer to hold.
Post the software upgrade to the One X to 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1, no contest not even the SGS3 is saying anything, especially with its ultra poor build quality and Quality Control issues!

I always thought Slick Rick's "A Children's Story", though masterful, was a peculiar choice for a bedtime story. I wonder if Slick Rick honestly thought his young listeners would get a good night's sleep after hearing this: a tale of a 17-year-old's descent into crime (robbery, resisting arrest, kidnapping) after succumbing to peer pressure. And he gets shot and killed by the police in the end!
Well, in 2007, UK hip-hop artist Jonny Virgo brings us a different cautionary tale, but with a smooth flow and imagery every bit as haunting as Slick Rick's. "Devil's Brew" is an entertaining hip-hop-meets-pop affair, complete with alien abductions and possible one-night stands. That's "possible one-night stands" because the speaker in Virgo's rhyme can't remember what happened the night before, all because he overindulged in alcohol. If he ever did remember, he claims the experience "would probably be censored".

This first person account of drunken mayhem emphasizes the woes of over-consumption without coming off like a know-it-all lecture. It's a "Don't Do What I Did" speech, but way more fun. With two appearances of "Devil's Brew" (an edited version and an explicit version), this single should create quite a buzz for Virgo's debut, The Secret Diary.

Go faster iron
I've wanted a better iron for a while. I had a good one when I was at university, but shortly after I started sewing I dropped it and it never worked again. I hastily replaced it with something cheap and cheerful which I have been using ever since. It probably says something about its age that it's styled to look like an early iMac – all white and blue translucent plastic. Anyway it worked. In fact it still works – at least it heats up. It just can't steam. I don't remember dropping it, but one day in November it poured water all over the ironing board when I started to use it. As soon I looked at it closely I saw the water tank had cracked.
I managed for a while by not putting any water in the iron. I made steam by dampening my fabric with a spray bottle of water, which I can't recommend. It works but it's easy to get the fabric too wet.
This is what I got for Christmas. Might seem silly to get excited over an iron, but this one is so much better than my old one. It produces loads of steam, it has a really long cord, and it hasn't dripped once so far. And it's red. Everyone knows red ones go faster, right? If anyone's really interested it is a Bosch Sensixx'x DA50 Edition Rosso. Sounds more like a sports car than an iron.

Frankly, I can get excited about irons, too!! I acquired a Reliable i300 1 1-2 year ago, and it totally changed my sewing and made it so much more precise and pleasurable. I love to be in sewing room and hear the quiet sound of the vapor forming in the iron while I sew, I find it relaxing. Crazy, isn't it? Have fun with yours, and I wish a Happy sewing year in 2014!
Oh, definitely the sports car of irons. And everyone knows red makes it go faster. Definitely. Happy 2014 Sewing!
Anyone who sews loves them a good iron. I didn't know Bosch made irons, I have purchased every other iron known to man, must have a look at one of these babies. She looks like a beauty. Enjoy your steam!
Congratulations on your new iron, Catherine! I totally understand. Last month I bought what has turned out to be the iron of my dreams after putting up with a bad one that left trails of water all over everything (and puddles on the floor) and didn't get any creases out at all. Ironing was so stressful and, eventually, using it on my precious sewing was out of the question. My new one is like magic and for the first time in my life I enjoy ironing.
Although mine is of a different make to yours, coincidentally it's also black and red!
Happy ironing and happy new year!
I totally understand. I got the Elna Press for Christmas–and LOVE It!!
Glad to see you back at the blog!
Happy New Year!
Sweet! A good iron is probably an investment I will need to make in the future, but for right now I am getting by with my low-end Black&Decker. But if the red ones go faster I am definitely going to have to look for that feature in my next iron😉
Excellent! My iron has started leaking, so I'm in the market for an upgrade too.
I am glad I am not the only one to get excited about a new iron. My husband gets totally puzzled about the number I have got through over the years. I have just finished a craftsy course ( 40 techniques every sewer should know) and though I was aware, it was a good reminder that pressing is just as important as the sewing and can make a huge difference in just how professional a finished garment looks. At the moment I am debating about buying a perfectcare Philips?? Not sure though whether it will be worth the expense. Irons seem programmed NOT to last – It seems sometimes cheapest is best. That way there is not so much guilt about throwing out and getting a new one!

Cavatica Stout
We paid homage to the big, bold, blacker than black, 8.8% ABV Cavatica Stout with this long sleeve organic tee. Black on black always makes for an interesting graphic, but can be a little subtle. Cavatica Stout is the polar opposite of subtle, so we cranked up the impact with metallic silver logos and glow in the dark spiders.

Physics And Mathematics As Abstraction Or Reality
Reality is an abstraction in that we have no direct experience of the stuff. Even
s stub their toes. Not once but over and over.
Isn't stubbing your toe a direct experience of reality?
No, it's a direct experience of your toe. Your toe is an empirical device. Your interpretation of the signals coming from it as "stubbing" is a theory. You can frame the stubbing-theory in terms of math and physics, but that doesn't make it any more real. Or help you avoid stubbing it again.
But there are a lot of scientists who accept math and physics descriptions of phenomena, including toe-stubbing, without question, as reality.
No, there are no scientists who do that because scientists by definition employ the
. Scientists keep an open mind and accept that any theory can be refuted by new empiricism. In other words, they accept that sometime, somewhere, when they least expect it, they'll stub their toes.
rubbish, scientists can be as close minded as any other group of people. And the other point, there have often been long abstraction vs reality debates in science, consider the long battles over what
actually means.
(Originally spawned as a side-argument from
is not talking about clouds or ice cream at all. Debating the existence or non-existence of the clouds in the ice cream is absolutely missing the point. --
The claim is that clouds exist even after they are destroyed. It's a very subtle claim aimed at undermining
Water molecules do exist, and one could go from being in a cloud to being in your ice cream. Or is that missing the point?
Yes, it is missing the point. Abstractions exist, and they exist objectively. They are physically real. A car is an abstraction, yet it is a physically real object.
Abstractions exist objectively? What abstractions exist independently of an abstractor? When is a car no longer a car? When you remove a wheel? A door? If it's in pieces in a large box? If you melt it down? Where one decides to draw the line is arbitrary, and very much subjective.
(see also
abstractions exist independently of an abstractor. All mathematics exists independently of people, yet all mathematics is abstractions.
That mathematics is internally consistent, does not imply that it is independent of people. You obviously believe this, but that does not make it fact.
Mathematics isn't internally consistent since different theories are inconsistent with each other. This is the central fact established by Goedel's incompleteness theorem. And it is precisely this fact (multiple mathematics, most mutually inconsistent) which distinguishes neo-platonism from mere mathematical realism.
Mathematics is independent of people, independent of whoever believes it at any point in time. This is as true as that software is independent of computers. And these aren't esoteric facts but unambiguously self-evident truths which every single mathematician in the whole of human history has accepted.
Quick note from a set theorist: there are indeed multiple mutually contradictory strands of maths, at least where infinite collections are concerned. A good example is the Axiom Of Choice. There are incompatible axioms (for instance, the Axiom Of Determinancy) which have a fair degree of currency. So infinite cardinality set-theoretic maths, at least, does not exist as a single mutually consistent ideal.
You're confusing abstractions with perceptions, it's the latter that can't exist without a perceiver.
No, you are missing that abstractions are based on perceptions, neither can exist without someone to observe them. It is comforting to think that Mathematics and Physics are reality, and it's true that they are very useful models for guiding us through life, but that doesn't make them equal life - what a boring world this would be if they were all that was to reality.
First is your inability to distinguish between our physical reality, another physical reality, and the whole of mathematics (a meta-reality). Then is your inability to distinguish reality as it is from how it is experienced subjectively from the inside (ie, perception).
It should be obvious to everyone that you don't understand the first thing about reality, whether that means mathematics, physics or even "life" and so any opinion you might form on the matter is grossly misinformed.
I think he was hinting that mathematics is boring in comparison to "life". However, many find mathematics fascinating - a welcome relief from the boredom of life.
The moment you claim that abstractions don't exist, you can't do any physics because molecules, atoms, and even quarks are all abstractions of more fundamental objects. And in fact, those "more fundamental" objects are themselves only abstractions which people
to exist in order to explain perceptions. In a weird turnaround, even superstrings are only abstractions.
Science is not reality - it is a model for us to understand reality. Just as Buddhism (Hahn is a Buddhist monk) is a finger pointing at the moon, and not the moon itself, so too is Science. Neither the Buddhist explanation, nor Physics is reality - just a way for us humans to try and make sense of things (get it to make sense?). The validity of one does not preclude the validity of the other - in fact, they must both be true if people can live by them - which they have.
You're wrong - physics is reality. To be precise, physical reality is nothing but a branch of mathematics which happens to have subjective perceivers within its theorems, and 'physics' is our explorations of that mathematics. And of course, math is a representation of other math only so long as it's incomplete, because the moment it's complete it becomes the real thing. There is no magical ontological asymmetry between one type of math and another, the one being real where the other is "merely representational".
There is no other intelligible definition of reality. There's actually a good article in May 2003's issue of
about the meaning of 'multiverse' which talks about this issue.
And why that reality has to be intelligible?
[It doesn't have to be. Indeed, it doesn't
to be anything in particular, but thus far there's no evidence to suggest it isn't intelligible.]
You're wrong, physics is reality.
Physics models reality. Physics changes with each new theory but we don't pretend reality changes along with it. Believing that physics is reality is like eating the menu.
. --
To be precise, physical reality is nothing but a branch of mathematics which happens to have subjective perceivers within its theorems and 'physics' is our explorations of that mathematics.
Mathematics is a creation of domesticated primate nervous systems. If physical reality was a branch of mathematics then physical reality would have to be incomplete or inconsistent due to
. --
It's incomplete since every reality must be self-consistent by definition. Everyone knows that. And if they don't then they should. Why is it that you're bringing up GIT as some sort of boogeyman? Reality is incomplete. So what? Big deal! --
For something to be created, it must be possible for its creator to determine its structure, or at the very least its existential status, it must have been possible for the created object to not exist. Such is not the case with mathematics since mathematicians have absolutely no power at all over their "creation". Thus, all agree that mathematics is real, that it is discovered, and not a creation at all. To believe otherwise is to be an absolute loony on a par with creationists.
I agree that mathematics is real, but I don't agree that mathematics is reality. Math is a model we created. There is no evidence that any other organism created it independently before us, but the possibility exists. --
I interpret your saying "mathematics is reality" as "physical reality is a branch of mathematics". And as I already explained, the only evidence we need for physical reality being a branch of math is that math
in physics. Besides, the notion that there is something "out there" which is neither our perceptions nor math because it possesses some inexpressible mystical quality that makes it different from both of them, is ludicrous and in direct contradiction to
I didn't say "mathematics is reality", so I'm not sure who you're talking to here.
is violated all the time, so I'm not worried if believing in an absolute external reality violates it. If there isn't anything outside you and me that we each observe independently it doesn't matter to model building or verification. Science ignores solipsism.
''I'm tempted to remove the above paragraph as too confused and besides the point but it seems to be honest, which can't be said of, say:
"Well then, are we creating this paragraph or merely discovering a particular word-sequence? (I assume that the binary representation of this paragraph occurs somewhere in the decimal expansion of pi.)"
To answer your question, math is independent from you and me. It isn't "outside" us, it transcends us completely. Since physics is a branch of math, that particular branch which best explains our perceptions, it too is independent from you and me. There doesn't need to be anything completely "apart from" us the way that most people assume physical reality to be in order to avoid solipsism completely.
In fact, the existence of anything completely "outside" us cannot ever be proved from our subjective perceptions so its existence must be assumed. Any such assumption is an attempt to "create" reality and hence the act of a solipsist.
Do we make cars, or just discover certain possible structures (which when assembled we call cars)?
Exactly! It is
for cars to not exist physically because we could choose to not make them. In contrast, it's impossible to say that we created internal combustion anymore than someone can say they created pi. As a mathematician, you can choose to not construct a proof but the theorem's existence is independent of your actions.]
As for physical reality being subject to the GIT, well so what? If physics is the set of all self-consistent theories, it is inconsistent; if not, it is incomplete. This is neither untenable nor absurd, it is self-evident just as the GIT is self-evident. To believe that physical reality isn't subject to the GIT is to believe the supernatural, the mystical, without any proof at all, without even the
of a proof. You are denying the power of mathematics to model physical reality, a power that can only be due to physical reality
mathematics. This is entirely analogous to the creationists denying the power of science. Your mystical distinction between physical reality and mathematics is not supported by a single factoid but only the sheer power of your delusions, your Faith.
To address your earlier point, if physics changes, so does the past, retroactively. Each time physics changes, reality does so as well. Of course, you can't tell this has happened because the change is outside of your perception of time, a perception which is embedded within reality. This is one way of looking at things. The other way of looking at it I have already described: physics is never invented by human beings but only discovered and we just haven't discovered all physics yet.
Of course, this is a question of semantics. And it is completely tangential to the question of abstractions. You have never addressed the fact that abstractions exist in physical reality just as they do in mathematics. You claimed that they only exist in science, but this is errant nonsense.
Can you discuss math and physics without insulting me? --
Can you accept as fact what everyone of any import in the field, in all of human history, has believed to be self-evident? Can you show proper respect for facts everyone accepts as true instead of casually dismissing them? Can you ask why your misinformed opinion is wrong instead of stating it as fact? Can you refrain from using "but I wouldn't like the outcome" as an argument? It seems not, and that's pretty much why I can't discuss philosophy of math and physics without insulting you.
No, no, no, and yes. You can discuss the philosophy of math and physics without insulting me by omitting the insults. --
The closest valid position to your view of math is called Constructivism and while it was alive for a few years, it's been dead for many. Your position is so deader than dead that its name has been recycled by educators to mean something else. And I'm pretty sure Constructivists never claimed that math was a creation of mathematicians.
So the closest "valid position" is invalid and isn't really my position? Then let's ignore it. --
Let's ignore you.
That should be easy since nothing exists outside of you.
Furthermore, can I suggest safely that a molecule is not an 'abstraction' of quarks, &c, but rather an amalgamation? And... also may I suggest that 'physics' in this mode refers to the physics as understood by people as being dynamic, and not the fundamental nature of what is real? It seems to me that a couple of minor linguistic differences were not ironed out early on, and we are really ArguingSemantics
or imagining a conflict. --
Can you suggest that molecules aren't abstractions? No, you can't because it's false. The only way you could suggest this would be if you don't understand what the word "abstraction" means. Something is an abstraction if it has supervenient (in the abstract layer) properties which can't be traced back to any subvenient (in the concrete layer) properties but only to the interrelationships between subvenient objects. A neutron star is an abstraction since it is a stable state of zillions of neutrons all of which are unstable on their own. A molecule is an abstraction of atoms which are abstractions of nucleons and electrons, which are in turn abstractions of quarks. A molecule isn't simply an "amalgamation", it's an abstraction
to the third power
I really don't get how people can misunderstand abstractions on a forum full of
There are linguistic differences, but that's inevitable since Eric doesn't possess the concepts necessary to talk about the subject.
If you really think about it, you'll realize that it would be impossible for programmers to understand the concept of "abstraction". That's because it's a fuzzy concept, and when you stretch it to its pathological extreme, you get amalgamation. Programmers love pathological cases.
I wonder who the proponent of "physical reality is a branch of math" is. This page is an interesting mix of things I've written elsewhere and things that are exactly like I would have written them, once upon a time. Makes me wonder who the other voice that sounds like me is. --
This page has entered a
debate over the definition of "abstraction".
So I can invent a new formalism, call it Mathematics, and pretend it is reality. No need to start arguing since it is self-evident. Interesting food for a solipsist. --

It takes a certain kind of friend to reach out a hand when you are in need.
It takes a completely different kind of friend to swim the English Channel for you.
But for Tori DeLollo, Trista Felty, and Kiersten Rosenberg, tackling such a feat to help Lauren Schulman was natural.
"Lauren was everybody's friend," DeLollo said.
Next week, the three women plan to swim 21 miles across the English Channel - from Dover, England, to Calais, France - to raise money and awareness for multiple sclerosis, the disabling neurological disease that was diagnosed in Schulman in August 2007.
"I'm still in disbelief that they're going to do this," Schulman said. "It's just a reminder of how awesome my friends are."

Unclaimed Millionaire Raffle Ticket In The UK
Could more millions slip through the fingers of a careless UK ticket holder?
Another £1,000,000 (€1,202,297) in Euromillions prize money might go unclaimed again in the UK as a millionaire raffle winning ticket has yet to be accounted for. The 'secret' millionaire purchased the raffle ticket with the code NBJ899770, but may not even realise it. Maybe they purchased the ticket with no idea it was entered automatically into the raffle? Or maybe they've just not even bothered to check the result yet!
What we know for certain is that the ticket was purchased in the Hackney borough of London in anticipation of the draw held on Tuesday January 17th. The Euromillions numbers on that date were 12, 22, 30, 31, 44 and Lucky Stars 5 and 6, maybe that will jog the winner's memory? If not then on Sunday the 15th July at 3pm their money and any interest it has generated will be donated directly to charitable causes.
The National Lottery organisation in the UK are of course eager to find this winner, a spokesperson was quoted to say "We're desperate to find this mystery ticket holder and unite them with their winnings – this amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody's life as they start 2012."
Anyone in the UK who believes they have the winning ticket should call the National Lottery Line on 0845 910 0000.
Tonight's jackpot is a sizeable €45,000,000. You only have a few hours left to take the chance to win the prize of your life, and thankfully when you purchase your ticket online there's no chance of your cash prize going unclaimed because you lost or forgot about your ticket! So what are you waiting for, have your ticket ready for this evenings draw!

So, one can can produce the same amount of juice as a much larger jug of juice. The concentrated varieties also take less energy to store and ship because they arrive without all the extra water. And, its packaging is easily recyclable.
It's also more economical. You'll save about a nickel on ounce. And that adds up. If someone in your home drinks 12 ounces of juice a day – you'll save more than 200 dollars a year. You'll save even more if you swap out juice boxes for concentrated juice you can put into a reusable container. If your child uses one of these a day, you'll save more than a hundred dollars a year. Plus, juice boxes a tricky to recycle and will be tossed into the trash at most schools.
Do Your Part when shopping for juice. You can go easy on the planet and your wallet by making a few better choices.

Drivers of Finished Goods Inventory Performance in the U.S. Automobile Industry

June 3, 2009
Automobile manufacturers in the U.S. supply chain exhibit significant differences in their days-of-supply of finished vehicles (average inventory divided by average daily sales rate). For example, from 1995 to 2004, Toyota consistently carried approximately 30 fewer days-of-supply than General Motors. This suggests that Toyota's well documented advantage in manufacturing efficiency, product design and upstream supply chain management extends to their finished-goods inventory in their downstream supply chain from their assembly plants to their dealerships. Our objective in this research is to measure for this industry the effect of several factors on inventory holdings. We find that two factors, the number of dealerships in a manufacturer's distribution network and a manufacturer's production flexibility, explain essentially all of the difference in finished goods inventory between Toyota and three other makes, Chrysler, Ford and General Motors.

Filmed over three years this daring exposé follows the investigations of a team of citizen activists and hackers as they take on the electronic voting industry, targeting the Diebold corporation. "Hacking Democracy" uncovers incendiary evidence from the trash cans of Texas to the ballot boxes of Ohio, exposing secrecy, votes in the trash, hackable software and election officials rigging the presidential recount.
Ultimately proving our votes can be stolen without a trace "Hacking Democracy" culminates in the famous 'Hursti Hack'; a duel between the Diebold voting machines and a computer hacker from Finland - with America's democracy at stake.
"Hacking Democracy" was Executive Produced by Sarah Teale & Sian Edwards of Teale-Edwards Productions LLC
You can also watch clips on our YouTube Channel
Download the complete letter from Diebold President, David Byrd. The quote is on page 2
The 'Hursti Hack' forms the climax of the film and proved for the first time that votes stored on Diebold's memory cards can be changed undetectably. In fact our ground breaking hack was scientifically proven to be completely true. California's Secretary of State commissioned a special report by scientists at UC Berkeley to investigate the Hursti Hack.
Page 2 of their report states:

Have a safe holiday.
Thanks again, Sean Elliott.
What a SF…what a shot..
Love it! However, although I remember watching this back then, I was only 9. If only I was the fan I am now back then.
And I thought when we got RJ last summer we would get Sean Elliott #2….
I saw that game in person. Incredible determination. After that shot we knew it finally was our year.
I think this video gets posted more often here at 48MoH than any other Spurs highlight. It's got three Memorial Days, not to mention a number of days where I was bored and just wanted to see some greatness.
Up until that shot and those playoffs the Spurs had been post season flame-outs (the Iceman-Admiral eras). Sean Elliot was a great player. Also, look at some of the talent Portland had on their roster…looks like a 1990's Collegiate who' who: Brian Grant, Walt Williams, Stoudamire, Jim Jackson, Stacey Augmon, and Sheed Wallace. Funny thing here is this collection of Blazers would basically blow a similar huge lead the very next year in game 7 against the Lakers.
I am happy those fiesta floor colors are history as well!
Man, I never thought I would feel nostalgic about that pink and aqua logo.
I miss Mario! I miss David! Why didn't I name my firstborn Elliot Avery like I said I would? I miss smothering, relentless defense!
But thanks for the video post, 48M. Never gets old…
Somebody send a link to Sheed. Get him mad. GO CELTICS GO! (Next best thing at this point, right? LA losing is not quite as satisfying as Spurs winning. But it's pretty damn close.)
That game was the beginning of the healing process for many of us Spurs fans that had to deal with the heartache of all the playoff exits from the years before. Especially for me growing up as a kid watching the Gervin team always lose to the lakers…..
It is an amazing shot… But from an objective standpoint I have to say that it was amazingly bad shot selection! If it hadn't gone in, everyone would have eviscerated Elliott for shooting it!
You're a hero, you're a goat, an no one critiques shot selection unless you miss.
It's true. Look at Artest the other night. He goes from hero to goat in about thirty seconds. Made not one, but two terrible shot choices. But then won the game with a crazy desparation put-back. (I rarely speak of Artest without the word "crazy" coming up at some point.) Skill and determination mean a lot, but luck is important, too.
On the other hand, there is something to be said for a player sometimes not playing by the book, going with his intuition. The context of that shot is that in the second half Sean Elliot had hit something like five out of six three pointers. He was certainly feeling like he couldn't miss. (He also had some health issues, which nobody else knew about. How much did that effect his thinking?) He also had two big rebounders waiting for a put-back should he miss. There was enough time left on the clock that the Spurs still could have fouled to stop the game (admittedly leaving them with bleaker odds). And as good as San Antonio's defense was that season, and as deflated as Portland was after the comeback that that shot capped off, the Spurs had pretty good odds of getting a stop at the other end. It actually foreshadowed the championship game a few weeks later, when the Spurs had to get one last stop after Avery Johnson's winning basket with some time left on the clock.
The Spurs did not always have great offense that year. Or even good offense. But they did hit big shots, and they could sure get defensive stops like nobody's business. All things considered, I'm not sure it was that bad a decision.
I hope to see this again and again and especially on its twentieth anniversary in 2019.
The part I love the most about that shot, is the way he regathers and just instinctively lifts his heels up so he doesn't tread on the sideline.
I forgot how stacked that Portland team was, but not how I felt when Sean hit that shot! Each of the four titles was sweet, but the emotion brought about by the first one can never be matched!
I was 12, my first playoff game as a birthday present, and the second present was a brand new camera. I got a shot, and because of the angle and where I was, "all" I got was the foot with heel just hovering the sideline!
I had it autographed by Sean the next year.. goosebumps still.
Beautiful! I LOVE it. Gives me goose bumps even now.
That shot is still one of the more underrated shots in NBA Playoff history, IMO.
Am I the only one who thinks that hearing the NBA on NBC theme song at the end of this clip was *almost* as good as seeing the shot again? That theme song epitomized NBA basketball in the '90s and brings back a TON of memories (basketball and non-basketball).
Still gives me the chills….
Totally agree. That, along with the Bulls intro music…..that's as good as it gets…
nothing much better than that.
I totally forgot Will Perdue was a Spur until seeing him on the sidelines in utter disbelief.
Now that I do remember, I recall him playing some very solid reserve defense that year when 50 went to the bench.
Sigh. I miss solid 7-footers off of the bench. Think about: Greg Kite, Luc Longley, Ty Corbin, etc. Where are all of those kinds of guys now? Gortat seems like about the only one. Everyone else is a "stretch-four".
Definitely one of the best moments I ever lived! Thanks Sean for all the memories!!
I remember being on the riverwalk that day and everyone watching the game on the tv's in the restaurants…staff included

Walter Cronkite, 92, the television newsman once famously described as the most trusted man in America, has died.
CBS vice president Linda Mason told the Associated Press that Mr. Cronkite died at his home in New York at 7:42 p.m. Friday after a long illness. His family was by his side. Mr. Cronkite's longtime chief of staff, Marlene Adler, said the cause of death was cerebral vascular disease.
The term anchorman was invented to describe Mr. Cronkite. As the anchor of the CBS Evening News from 1962 until 1981, he set a standard for accuracy, fairness, and dependability. His fame was worldwide: In Sweden, anchors are called "Cronkiters."

EAST GREENWICH TWP. — An 81-year-old township woman remains in a hospital following an April 13 crash at the intersection of Kings Highway, Berkley Road and County House Road.
Helen Grant, of the township's Mickleton section, was taken to Cooper University Hospital following the two-vehicle crash reported a little after 9 a.m.
Although it wasn't evident on scene, township Police Chief Barry Jenkins said, Grant was later found to have suffered internal injuries.
She was listed in stable condition as of Friday, Cooper spokeswoman Lori Schaffer said.
The driver of the other vehicle involved, 53-year-old Frank Peters, was cited for careless driving.
Police said Peters was traveling south on Kings Highway, while Grant drove north on the same road.
The crash occurred when Peters began to make a left onto County House Road without yielding to Grant in the intersection, police said.
Both drivers were conscious and alert on the scene, Jenkins said, and Peters was taken to Underwood Memorial Hospital in Woodbury.

Purafem Pueraria Mirifica Capsules
PURAFEM's Pueraria Mirifica capsules are the best-quality PM you'll find – they contain only 100% cultivated Pueraria Mirifica root powder. No stems, leaves, and flowers are used. No additives are added. This is hugely important for you to feel the FULL efficacy of Pueraria Mirifica since only the root of the PM plant contains the powerful phytoestrogens that PM is known for. These phytoestrogens are only maintained when the Pueraria Mirifica plant is from farmed cultivar, not wild.
PURAFEM also does not mix any other substances, chemicals, additives, or spices in their Pueraria Mirifica capsules and claims to be the only PM producer that's FDA approved. Each capsule contains a potent 350mg of 100% pure Pueraria Mirifica. This is of tremendous importance since PM, when combined with other spices, herbs, etc. can reduce its potency as well as cause side effects or discomfort.
Try it today for only $29 per bottle (if you get more than 1 bottle, you get discounts!).
Navitas Naturals Maca Gelatinized Powder
Navitas Naturals Gelatinized Maca Powder is a concentrated form of the Maca root's beneficial elements; the fiber of the root is extracted making this superfood more digestible and its beneficial elements intensified.
Navitas Naturals Organic Maca Powder is cultivated in its indigenous region of the Junin Plateau amongst the Peruvian Andes. After harvest, the maca roots are gelatinized and milled: a process that concentrates the active ingredients through a heated extrusion to remove the starch.
This product has only one ingredient, maca root, and is kosher, gluten-free, vegan, and 100% organic.
Originally $29.99. Buy it on Amazon for only $21.18!
Swanson's Bovine Ovary (Ovarian Glandular)
Bovine ovary works by stimulating your body to release hormones, causing a sort of second puberty and allowing your breasts and buttocks to grow curvier. It doesn't contain any hormones itself but instead stimulates the pituitary gland in your body to release your body's own source of estrogen (not plant estrogens!) that make it possible for your body to store fat in the buttocks and hips. Find out more about how bovine ovary works for getting a bigger butt.
Our TOP bovine ovary recommendation is Swanson's Ovarian Glandulars – Swanson's is a large vitamins and natural supplements company that's been around since 1969. Their bovine ovary pills are sourced from Argentinian cattle – which has one of the highest cattle standards in the world – and then desiccated (dried), powdered, defatted and tested at GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) laboratories in the USA. The best part? Their pills are highly, highly affordable – a bottle will cost you just $6.50.
Major Curves
Major Curves™ is an all natural blend of powerful herbal supplements that will signal the body to start storing fat in the buttocks, hips and thighs while at the same time increasing metabolism in the stomach area to migrate the fat downwards. The herbal supplement works by mimicking higher estrogen levels, causing the buttocks, hips and thighs to increase, much like when you are pregnant. You can combine Major Curves™ with exercise to increase muscle tone for even larger buttocks.
Major Curves™ contains 2x the highest quality active ingredients, and is made in the USA in a FDA approved facility. Many other supplements claiming to increase the buttocks contain 500 mg or less per serving, often consisting of lots of "filler" ingredients. Major Curves™ uses only the highest quality of ingredients, no fillers, delivering a massive 1,036 mg per serving.
Saw Palmetto Berries, Fenugreek Seed, Fennel Seed, Wild Mexican Yam, Blessed Thistle (Whole Herb), L-Tyrosine, Kelp (whole plant), Damiana Leaves, Dong Quai (root), Mother's Wort (whole herb)
Other ingredients: Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate
Buy it on Amazon for only $47.97 per bottle.
BBB Enhancement Formula
BBB Enhancement Formula is one of the most well-known products in butt growth. It's an all-natural herbal supplement that also focuses on keeping the weight off your stomach! BBB does this by speeding your metabolism with ingredients such as Maca – to increase your energy. The pills also contain a proprietary (custom) blend of ingredients that encourage butt muscle growth and fat.
BBB Enhancement Formula claims a success rate of over 95% in their customers who have used their pills for over 6 months.
BBB Enhancement Formula is a great option for getting a bigger butt and its special blend of ingredients DOES work if taken over a series of months. However – we believe more in the ingredients in the pills than the brand and we have to say – BBB Enhancement Formula contains pretty much the same ingredients as Glute Boost (listed above) and if we had to choose, we'd recommend Glute Boost – it's essentially the same ingredients at a much better price.
The ingredients of the pills are: Maca root, Dong Quai, Saw Palmetto berries, Fenugreek seed, Mexican Wild Yam root, citrus bioflavinoids, Rose Hips, Genistein, Dandelion, Watercress Extract, L-Tyrosine, Calcium.
Brand New Booty
Brand New Booty pills are interesting in that they contain some of the most potent booty-enhancing ingredients available: Aguaje, Maca root, AND Pueraria Mirifica. Both Aguaje and Pueraria Mirifica are known to have potent phytoestrogens that mimic the effects of estrogen in the human body – thus increasing hip size and fat storage on the buttocks. Maca root is a great adaptogen and hormone balancer – helping the body to produce its own hormones in the amounts that your body needs.
We like Brand New Booty's incredibly potent blend of active ingredients, BUT we're a little hesitant about using all of these potent ingredients at the same time. Many people have gotten amazing results with this, but it seems like too much, too fast for us.
If you're interested in Brand New Booty's pills, we recommend reading a little more about the active ingredients involved: Aguaje, Maca root, and Pueraria Mirifica. And then making your own decision.
- The Newest 4.0 Formulation. Brand New Version!
- Includes: Aguaje fruit, Maca Root, L-Tyrosine, Pueraria Mirifica, Isoflaveones
- 60 Count Bottle.

Looked into this a couple of years ago for next-gen network
segmentation in the data centre; and I believe the Crossbeam Platform
(x-series) running Checkpoint will give you what you're looking for;
It's a network appliance, which runs various 'applications' e.g.
Checkpoint Firewall, Sourcefire, Imperva, Trend, Websense.
Otherwise, as others have already said -- Cisco has options either the
ASA platforms, or the 6500 with FWSM.
Re: SAN transport -- as others have already mentioned; i'd avoid
trying to transport low-latency traffic like iSCSI through a firewall
infrastructure. I'd be looking to keep this in a dedicated switched
transport network where possible (with Jumbo frame support); and if
it's traversing a WAN then use FCIP rather than iSCSI. It really
depends on your SAN archictecture -- but extending a SAN would mean
creating a larger fabric; whereas its better to connect indepedant
fabrics together using a 'routed' interconnect between the remote
locations (this prevents fabric reconfigurations in one location
impacting the other, or reconfigurations caused by WAN/MAN outage
impacting the local sites) - use something like Cisco's inter-VSAN
routing; or Brocade has a similar approach/solution I believe (using
what used to be called their FAP - fabric application platform).

Courtney Baxter '11 had big dreams after graduation—and big dreams often lead to unknown territory. In a recent New York Times article, Baxter talks about the journey to find her first job, and the not-so-ordinary path she took to get it.
I found my dream job in New York after writing an e-mail version of one of those half-court basketball shots. In a state of post-graduation anxiety early this year, I had paused from my résumé tweaking and cover-letter editing to acknowledge that I was at a loss. That's when my gut persuaded me to e-mail an author I had never met, and to ask her for advice.
It had been nine months since I graduated from Denison University in Granville, Ohio, with a B.A. in gender studies and international studies, and I had already lived in Michigan; Washington, D.C.; Ohio; New Jersey; and now New York, doing internships and taking on short-term stints as a nanny. I wasn't ready to go to graduate school, and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my career.
Throughout college, I had been reading and following the work of Courtney E. Martin, author of "Do It Anyway: The New Generation of Activists" and "Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: How the Quest for Perfection Is Harming Young Women." I loved her accessible writing about activism, feminism, freelancing and nontraditional faith. Thanks to online media, she had served as a kind of mentor-at-a-distance who both inspired me and calmed my career nerves. When I read her, I saw myself; if she could be so influential, there was hope for other big dreamers like me …
Be sure to read the rest of Baxter's account of finding her dream job. Who knows, maybe you'll be inspired to take a half-court shot of your own.

Vince Wilfork: 'I'm excited' to see how defense operates in the regular season
|09.05.11 at 2:41 pm ET
FOXBORO ' Last month, veteran defensive lineman Vince Wilfork alluded to the fact that it's not just the rookies and newcomers who are learning new aspects of the Patriots' defense, but the veterans as well. On Monday, Wilfork said he's "excited" for the start of the season and see how the new-look defense does its job in a game that actually means something.
"I'm excited ' who knows where it takes us?" Wilfork asked on Monday morning as the Patriots started preparing for next Monday's opener against the Dolphins in Miami. "It's one of those things that you can only tell when you get out and actually go 60 minutes and play a full game against a top opponent, which is the Miami Dolphins. Wherever it takes us, if we have to make adjustments, we will.
"But I'm looking forward to a great year, a successful year, hopefully. A good, healthy year for this ballclub. You go from there. We definitely have our hands full, I can tell you that. Opening up Monday night down there, it's not an easy. But that's something, that's a challenge for us, early in the year, that'll be a challenge. We're going to have to get off to a good start this week."
Over the course of the summer, the Patriots have utilized more four-man fronts and become more aggressive in their pursuit of opposing quarterbacks. Those defensive fronts, which include Wilfork and newcomers Albert Haynesworth, Shaun Ellis and Andre Carter, have given Wilfork cause for optimism as the regular season approaches.
"I'm happy I've got all those guys up front with me, I tell you that," he said. "Just being able to be on the same field and play with the same team with those guys is a pleasure, and hopefully, we can just stay healthy and we can execute well together.
"That's going to be the bottom line ' can we execute well together, no matter who is on the field? Can we execute our game plan? Can we play together as a team? It's not just going to be one or two of us that this defense is based around. It's going to be all 11. They're veterans, they understand that. We expect a lot of each other. We push each other. It's going to be a growing year, and hopefully, we can grow fast. We'll see."
