Upgrade to First very much appreciated. Delta screwed us by cancelling the Atlanta-Boston flight (DL2611) and then delaying the replacement (DL2900) by 9 hrs. We ran to another gate to get on DL903 and then had to wait overnight for the baggage to arrive. None of which is your fault, obviously!

Pros: she gives you all the notes as worksheets to fill in
Cons: she is very hard to talk to and not understanding, tests are extremely hard
|She is a very nice lady. She teaches well. Just expect to spend a lot of time outside of class doing homework and relearning on your own. Get a tutor because she only is in her office 3 times a week for a few hours. Tests are difficult. But she is a good teacher and does care about her students

War On Terror: As what the feds call "other than Mexicans" and MS-13 gang members stream across our border, just what is keeping the head of ISIS from keeping his promise, "I'll see you in New York"?
We already know how ruthless the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is, so much so that media pundits such as Kirsten Powers, who should know better, insist that even al-Qaida is said to be distancing itself from the group.
You know: the same al-Qaida that slit throats with box cutters and then turned passenger jets filled with fuel into cruise missiles aimed at the World Trade Center.
ISIS is as determined as it is ruthless and has plans that go beyond the mini-caliphate it has established in Iraq and Syria — the caliphate for which President Obama, through his politically motivated troop withdrawal, served as midwife.
This caliphate, as the staging ground for future attacks on infidels worldwide, was also the dream of the precursor of ISIS, al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI), and its leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a dream shared by al-Qaida itself.
ISIS is working on the game plan outlined by al-Qaida's No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in an October 2005 letter to the late al-Zarqawi. Zawahiri wrote:
"The first stage: Expel the Americans from Iraq. The second stage: Establish an Islamic Authority ... over as much territory as you can spread its power in Iraq ... in order to fill the void stemming from the departure of he Americans. The third stage: Extend the jihad wave to the secular countries neighboring Iraq."
And from there, the world, restoring an Islamic empire that once extended to the gates of Vienna.
Except al-Qaida in Iraq wasn't able to and didn't have to expel the Americans from Iraq. President Obama did it for them. ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, released on Obama's watch from Camp Bucca in Iraq in 2009, will take it from there.
As Michael Daly pointed out last week in the Daily Beast, al-Baghdadi, aware that those guarding him were reservists from Long Island, had a few choice parting words.
"He said, 'I'll see you guys in New York,'" recalls Army Col. Kenneth King, then the commanding officer of Camp Bucca. "We spent how many missions and how many soldiers were put at risk when we caught this guy and we just released him," Daly quotes King as saying.
Sounds like the trade with the Taliban that President Obama made.
The threat by al-Baghdadi was not taken seriously at the time, but it should be. While we watch the appalling administration-aided child abuse in the form of unaccompanied minors flooding across our border, they are not the only ones invited by President Obama's open border policies.
A congressional report released in 2006 noted that of 1.2 million illegal aliens apprehended the prior year, 165,000 came from countries other than Mexico, including from terrorist havens Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya,Yemen, Iran and Syria.
This problem has only gotten worse, and among those coming across have been members of MS-13, one of the world's most violent and dangerous gangs, which will do anything if paid enough.
ISIS has a lot of money now, looted from Iraqi banks. It's also worth noting that Spanish authorities recently apprehended eight people who were part of a jihadist recruiting network led by former Gitmo detainee Lahcen Ikasrrien, who was arrested in Afghanistan in 2001.
As Al-Arabiya reported, "The cell found and dispatched recruits for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants based in Syria and Iraq, Spain's interior ministry said in a statement."
If the reach of ISIS can extend into Europe, it can extend into Central and South America. A recruiting drive there by ISIS could potentially usher the Islamist threat of "Death to America" into every American city and town.
ISIS-recruited terrorists hidden in the flood across our borders would turn al-Baghdadi's 'see you in New York' from an idle boast into a grim prophecy.

text: GMA News TV Posts Wrong Caption, 'Kerwin Espinosa Said That Locsin Family is Behind Illegal Drugs' GMA News TV posted a wrong caption during their live coverage this Wednesday, November 23, when Kerwin Espinosa appeared in the Senate hearing on the death of his father, Albuera Mayor Rolando Espinosa. Apparently, a screenshot of that caption was noticed by some netizens, posted in on Facebook. The Kapuso network later apologized. "Kerwin Espinosa: Locsin family, nasa likod ng aking illegal drugs trade (Kerwin Espinosa: Locsin family is behind my illegal drugs trade)" The GMA News TV caption reads, while Kerwin was explaining the feud between him and Albuera police head Chief Inspector Jovie Espenido. It is being aired nationwide, and being watched by tons of Filipinos. Espinosa said that Espenido once tried to kill him. He said that in the late 1990s, he was working for the Locsin family, a political clan in Ormoc City, noting that his job is to convince barangay captains to support the family in the upcoming elections. The younger Espinos added that Espenido was then working for the opposite political clan, the Codilla family. Espinosa, who left the Philippines shortly before President Rodrigo Duterte took oath but was captured in Abu Dhabi last October 17, said that Espenido shot a young man whom he thought was him. He noted a case was filed against Espenido, and that the latter went into hiding for one year, claiming that Espenido has been mad at him and his family since then. Espinosa also denied being a drug lord and said that he was only a distributor of illegal drugs. Reading this affidavit, he said that his main source of shabu are Jeffrey "Jaguar" Diaz and a certain Lovely Adam Impal. He also said he gave P8 million for Sen. Leila de Lima's campaign through her former driver-bodyguard and lover, Ronnie Dayan. Meanwhile, GMA Network has already apologized for their mistake. On their official Facebook page and on GMA TV, they clarified that Espinosa said that he worked for the Locsin family, and that they are not behind his illegal drugs trade. As of posting, the family has not commented on this error but many netizens suggest a libel case against GMA-7.

The torpid gloom hanging over the traditional media sector turned a darker shade of grey last week with reports that we are heading for a 13% fall in television advertising for July. This puts poor old ITV1 in the position of seeing its monthly takings dip below £100m for the first time since 1994. It is possible, say analysts, that a couple of hat tricks by Crouchosaurus would ameliorate the situation, but this surely has to count as hope over expectation. Where is all the money going?
Well, into digital platforms it seems. ITV's multi-platform channels have seen very robust growth - 50% - in ad revenue over the past quarter, but it does not fully compensate for the foundering of the mothership. By the end of the year, the share of advertising revenue going into the internet will have rocketed past national newspapers, according to some forecasts, making it the 13.3% medium (radio, outdoor advertising and cinema have already been outpaced by the web).
In America last week, another significant piece of news, or perhaps a high-profile PR stunt depending on your level of cynicism, was the partnership between advertising agency JWT and the political blog the Huffington Post. JWT is buying all advertising on the site over the course of a single week. It is not the first time big-brand advertisers have dabbled in the world of blogs - in 2004, Nike announced a deal with the Gawker network of blogs, also in America.
Television ads streamed on to the site will allow Huffpo readers to forward ads via email or discuss them (an unlikely prospect but, given that the most popular piece of video on the BBC's news site on Friday was a man encouraging a bottle of coke to explode, not impossible). This idea that you can knit together audio-visual material with social networking is extremely powerful and something that Google labs are working overtime on at the moment.
The terrifying news for traditional media is not necessarily the erosion of audience by new media outlets but the awakening of the ad industry to firstly, the fact that this is happening and secondly, recognition that there is a benefit in finding ways of working with smaller media.
Podcasts and blogs aggregate enormous audiences but over millions of outlets rather than one or two. The business of placing and buying media space in these erratic privately-owned formats has been too difficult and costly for agencies to bother with. The advertising business, like traditional media, has been structured around the one-to-many model rather than the many-to-many model. As a result, though TV audiences have been declining for some time, advertising revenues have increased proportionate to the audiences they reach. This premium is clearly no longer sustainable.
It is not, however, all bad news. Total hours of television viewing are only slightly down, to 3.89 hours a day, and multichannel television in one form or another is now in almost 70% of UK homes. The big beasts will be OK as long as they have diversified their proposition over enough channels.
As for where online advertising goes next - the assumption is ever upwards. At the moment, the rate of annual increase is running at about 60%. Again, mainstream media outlets are fairly well positioned to take advantage of at least some of this - but only if they are quick. Bear in mind that Arianna Huffington's business started with a budget of less than £10m (which is less than the increase in Channel 4's new media spend) and is only one year old.
If the decidedly rusty interaction between ad agencies and digital media is finally being lubricated by sufficient cash, then it could well be that television companies will look back fondly at the time when you could pull in £90m a month.

Checking out the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7K/
Over the past decade, digital video and still cameras have undergone an interesting convergence; video has begun to offer the capture of still shots, while digital cameras have steadily increased their live-action capture capabilities. I've often wondered where this convergence would end up — doubting that our strong brand allegiances could ever fail, nor that a range of highly specialized equipment could ever be rendered obsolete.
And, as most of us tend to be about these sorts of things, I was wrong. Along came a pivotal moment in art school, where I was advised to put down my film gear in favour of the DSLR's moving-image capabilities. Begrudgingly, I did. And, charmed by the quality and control afforded by the DSLR, I never looked back. Several years later, there's now very little left in terms of purpose-built videography equipment for everyday consumers. DSLRs have continued to flood this market segment, eating up the competition and leaving very few survivors.
Most recently, however, there has been a new selection of cameras that have begun to truly stake their hold in the market. They are the DSLM — digital single-lens mirrorless cameras — and they've got me wondering all over again. The Lumix DMC G7K is one of these — Panasonic's newest release in fact — and it packs a punch, with razor-sharp image quality and cutting-edge features housed within a humble package.
The Lumix DMC G7K offers equivalent image quality and handling, without the bulk and weight of traditional DSLRs. This is because, as the name implies, the DSLM works without a mirror. Simply put, the difference between mirrorless cameras and DSLR models is the camera's viewfinder system. Mirrorless lenses don't utilize a reflex-finder system, and, instead, light passes through the lens and right onto the image sensor, which captures a preview on the rear screen or via an electronic viewfinder. As a result, lenses are able to sit closer to the camera, meaning that both the cameras themselves and their lenses are generally far lighter and more compact.
But, it's not only size that affords the Lumix DMC G7K as a strong competitor against the notoriety of the DSLR — its quality is impressive too. With 16 megapixels of clear image capture by way of still-image shooting, the Lumix DMC G7K offers the ability to capture bundles of visual information with the press of each shutter. However, the notable feature of the Lumix DMC G7K is its 4K photo and video technology. Offering the ability to record video in better-than-HD quality (the equivalent of QFHD: 3840x2160 pixels), and to extract the perfect frame out of this video, this feature allows for a sequence to be captured at 30 frames per second, with single shots saved as eight-megapixel images. The Lumix mantra is that special moments can occur at any time and should be captured in the best resolution possible — and the 4K technology does just that. It's a handy feature too, particularly for capturing a moving subject in all of its fast-paced, whirlwind, mid-air glory.
However, while this 4K photo and video technology offers the ability to capture moments in- motion that would be otherwise impossible, it simply doesn't match up to the finesse of a carefully constructed and well-considered photograph, nor should it replace traditional shooting. While an output of eight megapixels is impressive for a still shot from video, it still falls far short of what can be achieved by way of traditional shooting. A still shot produced via 4K can only be blown up to approximately 11x14 inches while maintaining its quality, while its 16-megapixel equivalent can reach up to 16x24 inches conservatively.
Designed for fast-paced and action photography, the Lumix DMC G7K has incorporated further features that aid in sharp shooting. With depth from defocus (DFD) autofocus technology, which interprets spatial distances within the frame and converts this into useable data, the Lumix DMC G7K is able to instantly measure the amount of movement needed to achieve focus, with precise results even in low-contrast areas. In addition, the Lumix DMC G7K's autofocus has turned up the torque to drive the focus finder in one fast, continuous movement. It's surprisingly quick in fact — as fast as 0.07 seconds — leaving me bewildered as to whether the camera itself is quicker than the eye. Finally, unlike many other DSLMs on the market that are limited by slower focus speeds, the Lumix DMC G7K offers a fast maximum shutter speed of 1/16000s — ideal for capturing subjects in motion, where a millisecond can make a substantial difference in an image. If you're involved in event photography, interested in birds or wildlife, or if you're looking to capture the chaotic-yet-precious moments shared with family and friends, these features fit the bill.
Though, if it all sounds too good to be true, it generally is — and there's one area where the Lumix DMC G7K falls short. While the Lumix claims to maintain high image quality even in low-light conditions, the results simply aren't convincing. When shooting at dusk, the image output was fuzzy at best, even with the use of a tripod. Panasonic's Venus engine, employed within the Lumix DMC G7K to the promise of reduced noise, has been surrounded by much complaint since its inception. Users have claimed that any noise reduction is only achieved by smudging, resulting in any significant reduction of noise being accompanied by the loss of fine detail. Though the Lumix DMC G7K is able to reach an ISO of up to 25,600 — a luxury that offers the ability to shoot crisp images when handheld and to freeze fast motion within low-light conditions — the grain produced didn't tend to produce a pleasing 'film-noir' aesthetic, instead muddied or veiled in a strangely softened haze.
Like with any camera, it's about what you shoot, with the Lumix DMC G7K geared toward candid and fast-paced shooting, rather than fine-art photography. Not everybody needs a full DSLR system, and if your photography falls within the limits of what mirrorless cameras do well, then the Lumix DMC G7K may be the right choice for you. Either way, the Lumix DMC G7K is at the forefront of the tech game, and wants to change our attitudes towards the way we capture images. We can't stay placid in the comfort of the DSLR forever; in this ever-changing industry, it's only a matter of time until we find that they, like all other things, are superseded.

Ronald and all,
If I remember correctly plants give oxygen in the day and Carbon Dioxide at
night - or is it the other way round? It might matter if you are sleeping in
the room and it's CO2 during the night.
Unless your house is very well draught-proofed and you never open a door or
window the plants should be all right (and you too, lol). Make sure the
plants and cuttings get enough light during the winter, windows don't let in
the make compared to their summer quarters.
We've had an unusually mild time recently so the frost warning for last
night caught me unawares, as usual. Unfortunately the mildness can with a
lot of rain and constantly damp weather. The grass loves it and is still
growing rapidly. If only it would dry out enough for me to get out with the
The mountains of Northwest Wales are not the best place to grow
pelargoniums. Apart from the damp we cannot rules out three days of constant
gale force (or worse) winds at any time of year and that can put back the
growth on plants back 5 weeks overnight. So most of my plants are in a
greenhouse which always feels far too small and glass sided shed. So the
frost protection is more a matter of getting better organised and bringing
all my frost sensitive genera into the area that is heated, when necessary.
Well there was not frost and the sun is even shining today.
I hope your plants are all tucked up warm Ingrid. Are they in a greenhouse
over the winter or do you bring them into your home?
Brrr. David

His proposal is the result of a series of meetings with district judges, County Judge Danny ScheeL, County Court-at-Law Judge Brenda Chapman and others in and retired from the judicial system. It goes to the 78th Texas Legislature in the form of a bill sponsored by State Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, late this month at the conclusion of a 30-day public review and comment period. Waldrip has devoted hours to research in terms of discovering what other counties have done when they established additional county courts and how the systems have worked. "My mindset has been to try to be visionary to provide the county better tools," he said. 'lf you're going to do this, do it with the broadest perspective possible to give the system the greatest capabilities." See COURT/8A Lights, camera, action Sen. Wentworth lands appointments on four committees Students learn what it takes to be on the air By Sean Bowlin Staff Writer Creative, independent students are learning the broadcast journalism trade in local high schools before they go to college and major in it. And there were no major-league "Jerry Springer Show" bleeps heard in Canyon High School's Advanced Broadcasting Class. Instead, teacher Laura Fleming, 32, of Kyle — a former TV news producer in New York City — is teaching her 13 sophomores, juniors and seniors the basics of broadcast journalism and why you have a sound bite after that voice-over. "I want them to know just collect ing information is important," Fleming said. In the class, what Fleming called the "lucky 13" conceive and produce television video documentaries and radio shows. The radio production, in a closetlike area off of the main classroom where the desks, video monitors, cameras, TVs and computers are, starts with a rundown of information to be read on Radio KOOG 97.7. Students like Aaron Perez give fellow Cougars updates on campus events in a four-minute loop format. 'We're practicing our run-through this week," said junior Perez, 17. See STUDENTS/9A Laura MacDougald and Aaron Perez record a show for broadcast on the low power radio station KOOG located at Canyon High School. Their recording studio also doubles as the darkroom for the school's yearbook and newspaper. From Staff Reports AUSTIN — Committee assignments for the Senate side of the 78th Texas Legislature have been announced. The House will begin its committee appointment process this week. Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, whose 25th District includes Comal County, will serve as vice chairman of the Government Organization Committee during this session. The newly organized com-mittee is charged with examining the organization and effectiveness of state government in an effort to improve it. Lt. Governor-elect David Dewhurst also appointed Wentworth to the Administration, Intergovernmental Relations and Infrastructure Development and Security committees. Wentworth said he is looking forward to finding ways to make government more cost-effective and still deliver the vital services Texans need and demand. "With Texas' current budget crisis, it is imperative that we get the biggest bang for our tax bucks," Wentworth said. See COMMITTEES/8A Show time! K.

NBHS preserves portions of late art student's mural By Sean Bowlin Staff Writer His Lord, his family and then his art were Joe Arevalo's stated priorities. And despite construction at New Braunfels High School, the school is ensuring that two portions of the mural of unicorns painted by the class of 1992 that flanked the entrance to the old gymnasium are restored. Tile part of the mural on the left of the entrance to the new gym, is restored, repainted, framed in a shadow-box and adorned with a plaque commemorating Arevalo, UvUj'r. who died in 1994 of a heart condition during his freshman year at art school in Colorado. Teachers are stiff repainting the unicorns on the right side. There's a story behind Arevalo and the mural, and behind what saved it.

Hard-line positions such as anti-abortion carry costs
If you want to ban or seriously restrict access to abortion, it is not enough to believe deeply that abortion is wrong.
If you want to ban or seriously restrict access to abortion, it is not enough to believe deeply that abortion is wrong.
Grace on the Margins: Frameworks that assume the over-and-doneness of struggles for justice cannot account for UVA or Ferguson, Steubenville or Eric Garner.

Grace on the Margins: Why don't most justice-oriented Catholics in the United States get upset about the church's ban on contraception anymore? The problem, I believe, is privilege.
Grace on the Margins: "As we gain wisdom ... our hope can be that we -- the whole church -- will find healing words that will both strengthen marriages."
Grace on the Margins: Church leaders are convinced they know the truth about the realities of LGBT people; LGBT people can only claim to have an opinion.
Grace on the Margins: With both Francis and his doctrinal watchdog joking about misogyny, it's unlikely that any substantive treatment of issues related to women is on the horizon.

9. The Prince of Marcelia (part 1)
"Are you alright?" the man's voice flowed like honey as he extended his hand to her. BA-BUM. BA-BUM. Hataru's heart pounded in her chest like the hammer her birth father had wielded smashing against the anvil.
"Oh, yes. Yes!" she said, flustered. "Thank you, sir, for the mask and for... for saving me."
"It was no problem at all," he replied, "just all part of a days work." Although she couldn't see it concealed behind his mask, she was sure that this man was smiling brilliantly at her. It was in his voice.
The man helped her to her feet, and she dusted off her skirts. He ushered her out of the sun into the cave's entrance, where they could cool down from their previous episode. After a short break, they started along the interminable cavern pathway, leading to the treasure room. Should I be showing him where everyone is searching for the comb? I know he just saved me, yet can I really trust him? Hataru debated with herself.
"Pardon me, Miss, is something troubling you? You seem a tad bit worried," the man questioned.
Trying to conceal her inner anxiety, she answered in a innocent voice, "No, I'm fine. I'm just a bit nervous walking with a kind, strong man whose name I don't even know." Nothing could get the bluejacket off her trail better than a little womanly charm. Plus, she thought, maybe I can find out who he is, and what he wants. What was it that they taught me in Conversation Class at the castle? Ask questions but don't answer any? Answer all, but don't ask? Oh! Why is it that I can't remember when I actually need it?
"Well, then let me introduce myself. My name is Tarin Vallor, prince of Marcelia." Hataru stopped in her tracks. It couldn't be him, could it? The next man on her list to meet, the one who would one day rule over her country of origin? This wasn't possible! Was it?
Noticing that she was no longer next to him, Tarin stopped and asked, "Is something wrong?"

The next time you face a challenge you think is too tough or when life places you in a situation that you feel you cannot handle, think about it for a second. Maybe you can face it, you can handle it. Because, the chances are, that everything in life so far has prepared you for it.
Who you are, what you have learned, what experiences you have had and the people who are in your life have all given you the skills to be able to do this. In fact, I can guarantee that NOBODY else will be able to do it.
The thing is, you might be the only one who would be able to handle the cards you are dealt with. Think of it as "playing position" in poker. Leveraging where your position is in the hand, you can play a better hand than anybody else on that table, because you are in that unique position. Others could have been dealt better cards, but you can still win.

What's The Best Home Gym? Home Exercise Equipment Reviews
There are a ton of complete home gym systems on the market at the moment and sifting through the flips and the flops can prove to be a difficult challenge. Below, we have listed some of the top 10 home gyms on the market right now. This guide will always be up to date and unbiased. Enjoy our home exercise equipment reviews:
If you are in a hurry and looking to purchase something quickly take a look below. These are the best (and most affordable) home gym systems on the market at the moment.
(You can scroll right if you're on mobile)
Consumer magazine's best buy home gym: Pec Station, Press Arm, Leg Developer, High, Mid, and Low Pulleys.
210 lbs of resistance
BEST VALUE: Combo chest press/butterfly arms, High and low pulleys 4-roll leg developer. 330 lbs maximum resistance 125 lb vinyl weight stack
Over 30 strength exercises, Includes horizontal bench press and lat pull down
210-Pounds of resistance
AMAZING FOR TONING: Adjustable incline bench on wheels with a pulley on each side. Space saving design. This is hands down the best home gym system for getting tone and losing weight, and at an amazing price
Finding The Top Home Gym For You
When searching for a home gym there are a few questions that you need to ask yourself. What are my goals? How much weight lifting experience do I have? How much available room do I have? What is my budget? These are all huge factors that are going to come into the picture when deciding on the best exercise machine for you. Use the table of contents below to find the perfect home gym for whatever you are looking for.
What Are Your Goals?
Do you want to lose weight and tone out? Do you want to bulk up and try and actually put on a few pounds? Are you just looking to gain strength regardless of how you look? Really drill down and look within yourself to figure out what you want. This is the most important aspect of choosing your exercise machine. I can take a wild guess here that you do not want to purchase more than one piece of home fitness equipment and you want to use the one that you do choose for a very long time. This is will likely be a relatively big investment for you financially so lets make sure that you choose the right machine.
Looking to bulk up/ Gain Strength?
If you are trying to add a few pounds of muscle, or a lot of muscle you are going to want to choose a machine that has a high amount of resistance with it. This will basically remove the Weider Total Body works as that machine works mostly on your body weight. The Gold's Gym XR55 is fantastic for this. It has a maximum resistance level of 330 lbs! Unless you're a seriously experienced body builder this weight level will be out of your reach for a very long time.
Honestly, the Gold's Gym XR55 is a fantastic workout machine. It doesn't take up a huge amount of room, the resistance is massive, especially for that price, and it has a ton of different exercises that are guaranteed to keep your body guessing for years to come. I highly recommend it.
Trying to Slim Down and Tone Up?
Suspension Trainers are a great, cheap option for a complete home gym that is portable and versatile. You can perform more than 300 exercises on a good suspension trainer, and each one of them will be core centric, turning every move into an ab toner. We recommend the Emerge EX2 Suspension Trainer, which is the most versatile, durable and cost effective suspension trainer on the market.
If you couldn't care less about getting stronger or gaining a few extra lbs of muscle than perhaps you will be more interested in one of these complete home gyms. The Bowflex PR1000 home gym is a great starting point for anyone looking to build some muscle and tone up. Bowflex receives a lot of criticism as it's resistance is not controlled by weights, however, the fact of the matter is that the resistance is still there and it's actually quite impressive. The Bowflex PR1000 has a whopping 210 lbs of resistance available with over 30 exercises.
Option number 3 for toning up is without a doubt the Weider Ultimate Body Works. This machine was built for toning up. The weight resistance is low and can only go 50 lbs above what your weight is but this is perfect for high intensity, high volume work. This is superior in price and effectiveness to the machine pushed by Chuck Norris, "The Total Body Gym". Total Body Gym will cost you upwards of 500$ and is essentially the exact same machine as this. Just look at the reviews on Amazon for this piece of equipment. 448 reviews and still more than 4 stars. Workout equipment typically hangs on the low end of review scores on Amazon because people who do not follow the instructions for certain types of equipment leave a bad review.
Conclusion -
If you are looking to tone up while also gaining a bit of strength the Bowflex PR1000 is a great choice. If you are trying to slim down and tone up go with the Weider Ultimate Body Works or Emerge suspension trainer (for a cheaper option). Both are great pieces of equipment and either way you will not be disappointed with your purchase.
How Much Experience Do You Have?
What is your level of experience? Are you a power lifter that is tired of waiting in line for the squat machine at the gym or are you just now getting into fitness?
For experienced weight lifters:
You have quite a few options, however, I would again, suggest the Gold's Gym XR55 as it has 330 lbs of resistance and a ton of lifting options. This is one of the few machines out there that have that type of resistance and that many different exercises.
Unfortunately, there aren't too many complete home machines out there that will cover all the lifts an experienced lifter would need. I personally recommend that if you are looking to build a truly awesome home gym, you need to invest in a power rack with some bumper plates. We've got a great guide on purchasing a power rack here. RogueFitness also offers a few different garage gym bundles that might interest you as well. The W4 package comes with a wall mounted power rack, barbell, adjustable bench (as add on), weights, and a few other goodies. If you don't think you need or have room for the power rack, the charlie package comes with all that minus the rack. You can also pick and choose what you want from each package, making the price range from very affordable to extravagant.
For Beginners:
If you are just getting into fitness and lifting I personally recommend the Body-Solid StrengthTech system. For a beginner, this weight system has everything and it makes it extremely easy to transition into an at home fitness life style. With the Body-Solid StrengthTech system you will have access to an enormous amount of different types of resistance training. This is great for a beginnner, it will help you learn about each of the different exercises and how they affect your body very quickly.
If the price is a bit high, the Bowflex PR1000 is fantastic substitute. It's extremely easy to use and there are tons of workouts online that go along with it.
How Much Room Do You Have?
Most of the machines I have recommended here will have no problem fitting into an average size gym. However, make sure to check the dimensions that you have available with the dimensions of the machine. You do not want to get half way through setting up your gym and realize that it's too high or your elbows hit the wall when you are working out.
What is Your Budget?
Obviously the biggest number that will be entering into the equation here is the price. While it would be nice to easily afford some of the more expensive machines, sometimes it's just not an option. Click here to find out how to build your own home gym with just around $650.
Strength training:
The Gold's Gym XR55 is going to be the cheapest option for those that want some serious resistance. If you are looking to bulk and gain as much strength as possible, this is hands down the best option.
If you are looking to simply get into shape, grow your strength, and get to an impressive state of fitness than the Bowflex PR1000 is the choice for you. The Bowflex PR1000 is fantastic for high intensity strength training.
For Toning Up and Losing Weight:
A suspension trainer is a fantastic tool for toning, burning calories and getting a terrific weight loss workout. Weighing in at just two pounds, a suspension trainer will provide you with the means to do more than 300 toning and shaping exercises anywhere, anytime. We recommend the Emerge EX2 Suspension Trainer, which is the most versatile, rugged and functional suspension trainer out there. And Emerge EX2 trainers provide you with the best value for the best price.
Without question, the best option here is the Weider Ultimate Body Works. This is an extremely affordable, and very versatile weight lifting machine. It's fantastic for burning calories with high intensity workouts.
This article has helped with finding the best weight lifting machine for you. We also have an article detailing how to purchase an aerobic exercise machine if that is something that you are interested in.
Well that concludes my home gym buying guide. I hope it was helpful and please make sure to point out any errors I have made. My goal is to have an accurate resource available to my readers and if there is an error I want to know about it! Please like and share my page with your friends if it was helpful as that is extremely helpful to my website. Leave a comment with any criticism or questions!

America's Cup: Oracle Team USA comeback continues at 8-8 with Team New Zealand
Oracle Team USA continued their epic America's Cup comeback by making it 8-8 with Team New Zealand after being 8-1 down.
Last Updated: 25/09/13 12:03pm
The hosts have twice been down and out in the competition, having been docked two points before it even started before then being dominated and slipping 8-1 behind, with New Zealand just one win away from sealing the Cup.
However, with the help of British Olympic sailing legend Sir Ben Ainslie, Oracle have turned things around in superb style and with two more wins on Tuesday they levelled it up at 8-8 to set-up a thrilling winners-takes-all single race on Wednesday - a race you can see live on Sky Sports.
Oracle have been on a knife-edge for the last few days, and again they entered Race 17 in the knowledge that one slip would cost them the America's Cup, but it was New Zealand who flinched first at the start.
As the two boats came together, Team New Zealand were given two penalties, enabling Team USA to get a clean start.
"New Zealand was supposed to do everything it could to stay clear and it didn't," the Cup's chief umpire explained. "Two penalties were assessed."
Team USA went on to win by 27 seconds and make it a record sixth straight win in the America's Cup, and bring it back to 8-7.
New Zealand got ahead in Race 18 though, as they looked to finally see-off the epic comeback from the hosts, but, with all the momentum against them, again they could not hold on.
Oracle stormed ahead and opened up a gap of as much as 1000m as the defending champions won a 10th race overall of the event and level it all up at 8-8 and stand on the verge of the biggest comeback in the 172-year history of the America's Cup.
The final race of the 2013 America's Cup is live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 9pm tonight or you can watch all the action unfold with a 24-hour Sky Sports Day Pass from NOW TV. For more information visit click here

The Circle of Hanh: A Memoir
€ 12,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
April 2001
BeschreibungWith all the breathtaking imagery and lyric fury that characterizes his acclaimed poetry, Bruce Weigl recounts his struggles in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, which tore his life apart and in return gave him his poetic voice. Upon his release from duty he turned to alcohol, drugs, and women, living for years in a confused purgatory until he discovered salvation in poetry and in the love of his wife and their son. Yet it was only through a harrowing journey back to Vietnam, to adopt his eight-year-old daughter, that Weigl was finally able to heal himself. Moving from childhood to the war to a final act of compassion and hope, The Circle of Hanh is a powerful re-creation of a deeply haunted life and, ultimately, a stunning work of redemption.

Falling/Rising Star
Annabel, a pop sensasion among the teens. When she was a kid, she started to feel the fame. As her parents suddenly sent her to a public high school, she was wondering why......
BANG!!! Annabel punched at her new locker. She cursed under her breath to the one who invented this stupid locker.
"I swear if it's not going to be open in the next minute, I will... I will..." she could not find a word to say.
Discreetly, slow paces aproached Annabel, "What's up? You seem to have a hard time to catch up," a broad guy nodded to an ancient clock that lean against a wall that was about the same age.
Annabel was irritated, "Yeah, I know. You can just get this damn thing open."
"No... problem," he unlocked her locker easily after he inquired her code number. "What a fashion," he added softly.
"Nothing." Vincent watched Annabel carefully. Her cheeks were cherry-pink, and her perfectly straight hair... they were... they were just professional. The way she acted, remined him someone he once knew.

This eclectic cafe offers incredibly delicious and interesting Middle Eastern food. The mezze platter was wonderful with smoky eggplant spread, stunning beet tzatziki, muhammara, Moroccan carrot salad, freekeh salad and marinated asparagus with amba. We also had hummus, flatbreads and the best borek ever with nigella seeds. Do not miss the borek! The owner, Ana Sortum, also owns a more traditional restaurant, Oleana, and a mezze bar called Sarma - all serving similarly flavoured foods. Yum.

America's waterways still hold many secrets, despite all the times we've read fishes' diaries. Uncover nature's greatest sagas with this Groupon.
$20 for a 2.5-Hour Kayak Tour (Up to $49 Value)
The company's tours cover local ecosystems, aquatic mammal life, and the tranquility of the waterways. On the Exotic Mangrove Tour, kayakers navigate dense mangrove tunnels in the back waterways of Emerson Point Preserve. Guides Michelle and Mark explain the wonders and peculiarities of the fragile ecosystem, such as why there's no wind inside the mangrove and why it's easy to hear one hand clapping there. As they paddle, participants may peer down through shallow waters to catch glimpses of conches, starfish, and sand dollars lurking just below. Each tour includes a kayak, life jacket, and paddle. Though tours normally last up to 2.5 hours, time on the water might vary.
Shan-T Native Kayak Tours
When a family of five wanted to go on a kayak tour, they assumed their daughter with Down's syndrome couldn't come along. But Shan-T co-owner Michelle Thorpe assured them she could, and invited her along in her own tandem kayak. Once on the water, the girl immediately took charge, joyfully taking over paddling. Michelle and her husband Mark had always searched for a way to conduct fun, physical, outdoor activities that would accommodate people with special needs, including their daughter with Asperger's and their niece who is autistic. Taking advantage of the therapeutic nature of the area's calm waters, Shan-T provides a way for just about everyone to commune with nature. The couple operates their tours intimately, using no more than 15 boats per group so that wilderness smells and the sounds of lapping waves are prevalent throughout their adventures.
The pair leads their tours through secluded, often shallow waterways and wildlife-rich areas aboard ocean-style kayaks with open tops for easy boarding and egress. They sometimes allow participants to use the boats as standup paddleboards on which participants can stretch their legs or reach up to scratch head itches with overhanging branches. On each tour, guides stress the fragility of the local ecosystem, highlighting issues such as baby fish growing up inside discarded soda cans and dolphins consuming floating plastic bags. In response, participants often pick up any refuse they see, with tours in the past becoming scavenger hunts to help clean the secluded waterways and to see who can find the most Gene Simmons solo albums. On many of these trips, kayakers have encountered manatees up close, sometimes when they brush up against the boats to scratch their backs and bellies.

Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency - AAT
- Diagnosis
- Screening
- Background
- Lab Tests
- References
- Related Topics
- Screening tests to perform prior to testing for alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) levels
- Pulmonary function studies (irreversible airflow obstruction)
- Chest x-ray/CT scan
- Population-based screening not recommended even though disease recognized as being underdiagnosed
Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) is the chief protease inhibitor (PI) in human serum. The loss of this PI results in the degradation of the connective protein elastin in lung alveoli and increases the risk for developing severe lung disease during early adulthood.
- Prevalence
- AAT deficiency affects ~2-3% of the 2-3 million patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the U.S.
- Severe deficiency – 1/6,000 in Caucasian populations; less frequent in other ethnicities
- Incidence – 1/3,000-5,000 individuals of European ancestry
- Age
- Smokers develop lung disease in 40s
- Nonsmokers develop lung disease in 50s
Risk Factors
- Genetics – SERPINA1
- Autosomal recessive
- Isoelectric focusing (PI typing) has identified >100 AAT allelic variants classified according to electrophoretic mobility; most variants have no clinical significance
- Mutations in the SERPINA1 gene on chromosome 14q31-q32.3; homozygosity for the Z allele is the most common cause
- Most common normal phenotype is PI MM (100% AAT activity)
- PI MM is found in 95% of Caucasians
- Other common phenotypes and percentage of AAT activity include PI MS (80%), PI SS (60%), PI MZ (57.5%) and PI ZZ (15%)
- S and Z alleles represent 95% of deficiency phenotypes in the general population
- PI ZZ is associated with severe liver and lung disease
- PI SS is associated with milder lung disease
- Heterozygotes (PI MS and PI MZ) are at slightly increased risk for AAT deficiency-related disorders
- S and Z alleles represent 95% of deficiency phenotypes in the general population
- Tobacco use
- Tobacco smoke contains oxidants capable of inactivating AAT protein, further impairing reduced AAT function
- Increases risk of developing severe lung disease; symptoms begin ≥10 years earlier than in nonsmokers
- AAT is a glycoprotein mainly synthesized by the liver
- AAT deficiency results in uninhibited free neutrophil elastase, which leads to degradation of the connective protein elastin in the alveoli
- Oxidants in cigarette smoke inactivate AAT protein, causing further AAT impairment
- Hepatic disease is secondary to accumulation of unsecreted AAT in hepatocytes
Clinical Presentation
- Adults
- Pulmonary – dyspnea, wheezing, cough, and phlegm, early onset emphysema (panacinar)
- Hepatic – liver dysfunction, cirrhosis
- Occurs more often in individuals with Z allele
- Hepatitis with jaundice
- Chronic liver disease
- Skin – panniculitis
- Necrotic areas with spontaneous suppuration
- Neonates
- Small percentage of affected newborns have hepatitis with cholestatic jaundice (prolonged jaundice with conjugated hyperbilirubinemia)
- Low AAT levels are also found in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and severe protein-losing disorders
- Rare associated diseases
- Granulomatosis with polyangiitis, necrotizing panniculitis, aneurysms of aortic and brain arteries
- Complications
- Hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma
Alpha-1-Antitrypsin (SERPINA1) Enzyme Concentration and 2 Mutations with Reflex to Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Phenotype 0051256
Method: Immunoturbidimetry/Polymerase Chain Reaction/Fluorescence Monitoring/Isoelectric Focusing
Preferred test to identify alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency and causative DNA mutations or protein variants
Reflex pattern – reflexes to phenotyping when protein concentration <90 mg/dL and not homozygous or compound heterozygous for the S or Z deficiency alleles by genotyping
Clinical sensitivity of genotyping – 95%
Analytical sensitivity/specificity of genotyping – 99%
Only the Z (c.1024G>A, p.E342K) and S (c.791A>T, p.E264V) alleles are detected by genotyping
AAT-deficient patients may have falsely normal AAT concentrations
Diagnostic errors may occur due to rare probe-site mutations
Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Phenotype (Includes Alpha-1-Antitrypsin) 0080500
Method: Qualitative Isoelectric Focusing/Immunoturbidimetry
Order to determine type of AAT protein/variant in individual with decreased concentration of AAT (<90 mg/dL)
Acutely ill, AAT-deficient patients may have falsely normal AAT concentrations
Determine AAT enzyme plasma concentration for the initial evaluation of AAT deficiency
Acutely ill, AAT-deficient patients may have falsely normal AAT concentrations
Aid in histologic diagnosis of AAT
Stained and returned to client pathologist; if consultation required, contact anatomic pathology, surgical consult or hematopathology

I've already posted photos of me wearing this particular item, but it really needs a proper entry to showcase it. Shinei was having a huge sale and I saw this and really fell in love with it. In the photos, it looked like a modern piece – heavy silk, relatively "standard" proportions. When it arrived I was shocked at how old it was it was, evident in the length of both the body and the sleeves, as well as the brightly patterned lining. It's incredibly lush and thick, and the cranes are so vivid. The lining is also exceptional. I am not generally fond of karako (stylized playing children) but since it's mostly hidden I am actually quite fond of them in this case. I love the ridiculously vivid linings on vintage haori.

Thanks for the query. This presentation can be seen in many diseases and could be a presenting sign. A thorough history, clinical examination and appropriate laboratory tests will be needed to solve the mystery. You can use a salicylic acid based ointment with 1 % temporarily and a moisturizer for some relief

Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
