A 90 day detoxification cleanse that could leave you 20 pounds lighter.Top Rated Diet Pills of 2017
Dr. Natura, cleansing system is a detoxification program that can help you reduce constipation, bloating fatigue and skin problems while boosting your energy levels and giving you a flatter stomach. Under the philosophy that "death begins in the colon," Dr. Natura's cleansing system is meant to rid your body of toxins that develop over time from the air we breathe, the foods we eat and the general lifestyle byproducts that we are exposed to on a daily basis.
Using a two-pronged approach of cleansing and detoxification, Dr. Natura's cleansing system uses Colonix products which cleanses your digestive tract of unwanted toxins, eliminates parasites and candida and promotes regularity. The second part of the program uses Toxinout, another product which removes heavy metals from your body, detoxifies the organs, replenishes healthy bacteria and rejuvenates the immune system.
The entire system uses more than 100 natural products to deliver one of the most thorough detoxification products on the market today. The entire Dr. Natura cleansing system takes approximately 90 days to complete over which time you are adhering to a strict and outlined schedule of taking supplement and consuming a fiber-based beverage. It is estimated that you can lose a few to 20 pounds while following this cleansing program.

The two primary treatments are the Colonix and Toxinout programs which can be used separately or together. Each of these treatments includes a strict and comprehensive schedule of consuming teas, fiber powders and/or capsules over a one-month to three-month time period. Even though the manufacturer's of the product state that these supplements don't carry harsh and uncomfortable side effects like other detoxification programs do, side effects can still be expected.
The ingredients used in all of the Dr. Natura products are natural. As with any unregulated dietary supplement, it is best to speak with your medical doctor before using it. Pregnant and nursing women should not use any of the Dr. Natura's products.Common Misspellings

It may be a lifestyle change, as you say, but does it have serious side-effects? One would imagine that detoxification could have issues with eating disorders and the like, or at least I would. I'm personally thinking about doing so myself, but I need that little push.
2 comments: 1. under "cons" it reads " May remove beneficial and necessary bacteria and flora from the body " but part of the kit is a very powerful probiotic to replenish the bacteria & flora. 2. Donna: if your fiance didnt drink enough water AND only did a one month cleanse, it may not have been enough. I did 6 weeks before I had a serious cleanse. This is NOT a "quick fix", it is a lifestyle change, and used properly is an effective detoxifier & cleanser. I have been using Dr. Natura for 3 years now (once a year now for 2-3 months) and LOVE it!!
Today is my 1st day in Colonix will come back with my results ;)
I bought this with the hopes it would help my fiancee. His belly protruded like he was pregnant even though he was not fat. He also has chronic constipation. This is very expensive and the "powder" that you mix with water is like gravel and dirt. It does not disolved and it will make you gag. My fiancee followed it faithfully for a month and nothing changed. He ended up impacted and the doctors said he had a reaction to too much fiber.... Needless to say he stopped taking it. What a waste!!!!
this is not a diet. it's a colon health therapy. I did the whole thing and I never felt better in my life. I still take the fiber 4 or 5 times per week, and occasionally drink the tea. could actually taste the metals leaving my body. highly recommend. web site is WILD. must go look at what comes out....seariously.

Saltwater can evaporate leaving evaporite deposits consisting of salts such as sodium chloride (halite) and calcium sulfate (gypsum). Within evaporates are fluid inclusions – small trapped pockets of water – that can provide a refuge for microbes for at least six months. Cyanobacteria trapped within dry evaporite crusts can continue to have low levels of metabolic function such as photosynthesis. These deposits also form fossils of the organisms trapped within. Although highly controversial, it has been claimed that bacteria might survive for millions of years in the fluid inclusions of salt deposits including evaporates. Intriguingly, such deposits have been found on Mars.
In fact parallels are being drawn between locations such as the Bonneville Salt Flats that surround the Great Salt Lake and Meridiani Planum on Mars where the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity landed. Opportunity discovered that it was parked on top of an evaporate basin, the remnants of an ancient martian salty sea, just as the Great Salt Lake and surrounding flats are the remnants of a much larger, ancient body of water – Lake Bonneville – which drained away thousands of years ago. As the conditions on early Mars got colder and harsher, it lost liquid water through evaporation or sequestration into permafrost. Remaining bodies of water would have been increasingly salty places, and then finally all liquid water disappeared, and the salt deposits eventually lithified into the evaporate rocks the rover sees today. Any early martian microbe would have had to withstand a high salt environment and intense UV radiation.
The suggestion that Jupiter's moon Callisto may have an underground saline ocean (see Callisto, ocean and possible life) also raises the possibility that primitive life forms similar to terrestrial halophiles might be found there, as well as on the neighboring moon, Europa.

ALBANY—Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is not ruling out a run for governor, but says his only political plan now is to run for another term as attorney general.
"My only plan now is to run for attorney general," Cuomo said after announcing a settlement with an upstate insurance provider that used the Ingenix database and overcharged consumers.
Cuomo said that he agreed to speak Monday at a meeting of the Conservative Party to build a broader coalition around his proposal to reduce the size of local government. He said it was "complimentary" to David Paterson's efforts to negotiate the state budget.
He was then asked by public radio's Karen DeWitt how he would rate how David Paterson is doing.
"I've been around maybe too long," Cuomo began. "I've seen the roller coaster, I've seen the high ups and I've seen the high downs, and I've seen and heard the commentary at the top and at the bottom. There's no doubt that the past few weeks have not been especially good from the governor's point of view. There's also no doubt that he has two years to govern. This is going to be about the budget, this is going to be about seeing the state through an economic crisis, and that's the real test for the governor. And I think he's going to do fine."

There is a saying that it's better late than never. The Browns hope that is true.
It took about a month but the Browns finally added a veteran wide receiver to their receiving corps via free agency. After letting Mohamed Massaquoi and Josh Cribbs leave through free agency, the Browns had not added any player with NFL experience.
However, on Monday, the Browns announced that they had signed David Nelson to a one-year contract.
Nelson, 26, played with the Bills the past three seasons, where he caught 94 passes for 1,042 yards with eight touchdowns. In 2011, he was second on the Bills with 61 receptions for 658 yards, including five touchdowns. Nelson missed all but one game in 2012 after tearing his ACL in the season opener against the Jets.
"David possesses very good size and hands, and has a good feel for the game," said Rob Chudzinski. "He showed promise with Buffalo two years ago before missing most of last season with an injury, and we feel as though he will be a good addition to our group of wide receivers."
Nelson (6-foot-5, 214 pounds) originally was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Bills in 2010 from Florida. He has appeared in 32 games with 17 starts.
Nelson is the first wide receiver added since Chudzinski and Mike Lombardi took control of the Browns roster. Nelson joins Jordan Norwood, Greg Little, Josh Gordon, Travis Benjamin and Josh Cooper as the current receivers on the team.

Summer: Giverny
Painted during his third summer in the village, Giverny (ca. 1889) is a prototypical example of the technique that earned Theodore Robinson his reputation in America. Using a vantage from a hillside overlooking the Seine valley, he adjusted his easel to paint several views of the rural landscape. The strong composition and strict delineation of architectural elements in Giverny hark back to Robinson's academic training, while the bright violet-and-green palette and deft, summary treatment of the light-dappled foliage betray his exposure to impressionism. In Giverny, Robinson emphasized parallel diagonal lines that radiate to the left of the picture plane and terminate at the horizon line near the top of the canvas. Robinson executed this painting en plein-air—out of doors—capturing the immediate brilliance of the sunlight and warm colors of the country, a technique he no doubt learned from Monet.
Summer: Farm at Bear Mountain
David Burliuk's Farm at Bear Mountain (1925) is vigorously expressionistic, using color to convey Burliuk's intense personal feelings about the landscape. Painted with rhythmic strokes, wiry lines, and strong colors, it is an ode to nature in late summer. Its predominantly saturated verdant palette is evocative of a lush summer with plenty of sun and rain. While warm highlights on the foliage and rooftops of farm buildings capture the effects of the sun, deeper greens and blues, found in the denser areas of trees, suggest the fresh, cool air of the shade. Burliuk further increases the dynamism of the painting by using a vertical format, thus denying the viewer a panoramic vista, creating a tension with the inherit nature of landscape painting.

Do not buy this printer. I bought this a replacement for a DCP-7050 printer which was excellent and very economical. This new 'improved' model is outrageous in it's consumption of toner (both OEM and generic) in the region of x10 increase. Avoid like the plague- a total exercise in cynicism by Brother!!!
I agree. This printer is costly in terms of toner. Most inkjet printouts only costs 1.50 PHP per page in our area, but dealers here, sells DCP-7055 cartridges at 1,395 PHP (but usually it's 1,400 PHP). With 700 pages approx. capacity of each cartridge, then it costs about 2.00 PHP per page. That's a total separation to the popular belief that Laser printers should have lower operational costs than Inkjet printers. Man! I should've seen this, before I purchased one. I was so confident with that popular belief. Now, I have to live with workarounds to meet the 1.00 PHP per page target for our small business. That's Toner Save, with tweakings of the brightness and stuff on its console. Could I ever squeeze 1,400 pages out of a single cartridge? At least 1,250 pages? Let's see on its first Low Toner message. I'm ready with a workaround for that too.
This printer is a scam. My toner cartridge only lasted 250 pages.
I get two compatible cartridges for €12.99 which I find is excellent.

I think your key may be placement, as others have suggested. 6"-1' sides to side, front to back can make a lot of difference...toe in as needed After you find the sweet spot.
I'm a 2 channel listener myself, but had the cc1 or cc2 for a short period od time attempting to make a 'home movie theater'. I loved the detail I got from my front channel, though this required using a receiver after my preamp. Maybe I'm just a purist (getting rid of my tv...music only again from now on), but the best 'sound reproduction' always seems to end up back w/ the 2 channel.
Over time I may get a set of 1.6's for rears and have to give a different opinion, BUT that's only if I get a flat panel or projection screen...which will be a while...prices keep dropping so much each year I've decided to wait another year or so.
Hope my lil ramble helps,

"We ordered these for my daughter. We changed the font color to baroque which is a nice shade of purple. It was easy to do, but I recommend ordering a digital proof. We also liked how much space there is on the invitation. We were able to include all the party details and did not have to order a separate reception card. Invitations turned out beautiful and we received lots of compliments on them."
"The invitation turned out very nice. It has shades of light purple in it which are more difficult to see online. The online chat was helpful when I needed to have more room for some words. They were able to explain that the graphic designers would be able to fix it and send a photo of the actual final product before it was printed."
"The card is very good quality. I was especially happy with the person who helped me refine the design! I wish I could have downloaded the font to use for the envelopes. I did not consider using a font that I had. The price was definitely right and the quick delivery was very helpful."
"Used this as my daughter's bat mitzvah invitation. Tiny Prints designer responded to my special instructions beautifully and fit in all my type. Getting very positive feedback from family and friends and my daughter loves it."
"I can't say enough good things about these invitations! The paper quality is excellent, the blue/brown combination is modern and tasteful, and the overall effect is very elegant. I ordered the matching response card as well, and I could not be happier."

At least 28 percent of auto wrecks in the U.S. are caused by drivers who are using cellular phones and other communication devices.
That's the disturbing news from the National Safety Council, which monitors the causes of crashes and advocates laws that will keep all motorists safer.
Safety Council CEO Janet Froetscher spoke Tuesday at the U.S. Transportation Department, citing the startling number in calling for a ban on cell-phone use while driving.
Although U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has said he is in favor of such a ban, the question will ultimately be decided by Congress, or by state legislatures, which can impose the prohibition.
It should surprise no one that a task as difficult and complicated as driving is rendered much more difficult by distractions such as conversations and holding phones to our ears.
In Louisiana — where roads and bridges are in deplorable shape and where adequate lighting and shoulder space is a rarity — distracted driving can have even more dire effects than the same behavior elsewhere.
So motorists here should be particularly interested in a federal or state action that would prohibit a dangerous activity that affects the safety of users of telephones and anyone unlucky enough to be in their paths.
Unfortunately, car manufacturers seem to making the use of cell phones and other distractions even more common. At the North American International Auto Show earlier this week, Ford announced plans to introduce voice-activated and touch-screen communications devices to their automobiles by 2015.
The distraction caused by hand-held devices should be obvious to anyone. The use of cell phones takes one hand off the steering wheel. But even hands-free devices involve distraction. A driver who becomes engrossed in a conversation can lose concentration on the road, where it belongs.
As commonplace as cell-phone use and even texting have become, they are nonetheless distracting activities for people who should be singularly focused on driving — a challenging and potentially dangerous activity under the best circumstances.
The thought of drivers hurtling down the road using cell phones while browsing the Web should scare even the heartiest motorists.
Instead of paving the way for drivers to have even more things to do while driving, the auto industry should lead the way in discouraging a deadly practice.
Ultimately, though, state legislatures and Congress will likely have to take action to remove a needless danger from American roads.
Emergency calls can be made on the shoulder or after pulling into a roadside parking lot. Other calls can simply wait.
The tradeoff in property and lives is too high a cost for convenient conversation.

Paul Singer Will Make Argentina Pay
After Argentina's July win in the semifinals of the World Cup, fans jumped for joy across the country and climbed wobbly stoplights to belt out patriotic songs. On the streets of at least one city, Rosario, Argentina's third-largest, they also took the opportunity to taunt a U.S. hedge fund manager. Dancing around the National Flag Memorial, they sang a song in Spanish that more or less followed the tune of Bonnie Tyler's It's a Heartache. "F–––ing vulture funds," they chanted, in rough translation, "stop messing around and agree to a swap."
They would not be satisfied, in soccer or in finance. Weeks after the Argentine team was shut out in the World Cup final, talks in Manhattan broke down between Argentina and some of its creditors, the most important a group of hedge funds led by billionaire Paul Singer. On July 30, when a last-ditch workaround failed and the deadline for interest payments of $539 million passed, Argentina went into default for the second time in 13 years.
How does a New Yorker help tip over the second-largest economy in South America a few weeks before his 70th birthday? By being stubborn, self-righteous, clever, and willing to take his decade-long fight against the country to a Las Vegas court, a Ghanaian seaport, weapons warehouses in Maryland, and at least two rocket launches.
Most bondholders from the last Argentine crisis, in 2001, agreed to accept about a third of what they were owed and move on when the country renegotiated its debt and traded new bonds for the old ones. Singer, whose Elliott Management oversees $24.8 billion, wanted more. He went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to make sure bondholders who compromised can't get paid until he does, and his victory there in June meant the country would default unless it surrendered to him. Argentina said its hands were tied, and it simply couldn't sweeten Singer's deal. It defaulted.
For a debt negotiation, the July meetings were almost cinematic. On the other side of the table, facing the hedge funds, was Argentina's economy minister, Axel Kicillof, known for his pointy sideburns and scholarship on Marxism, who was born two years after Singer graduated from Harvard Law School in 1969. Kicillof, whom BuzzFeed called "gorgeous" this year, explained in a press conference after the talks failed that he wouldn't be extorted into a deal with a vulture. Other officials have called Singer's fund "scum."
Singer, according to interviews with his colleagues, characterizes the case as a fight against charlatans who refuse to play by the market's rules. He's owed, he has the right to be paid, and for that he's the bad guy? He can hardly believe it. "When he sees an opportunity, he'll seize it," says Ralph DellaCamera, who worked for Singer from 1986 to 1999, becoming his head trader. "I love it when he wins, because it just validates who he is as a person. He's a fighter. He's not going to give up. And he's not a villain: He's a hard-nosed businessman, that's it, and he sticks up for what he thinks is right. More people should do that."
The court-appointed mediator, Daniel Pollack, said default is a real and painful event that hurts real citizens. This one hurts for a second reason: Argentina could afford the interest payments to other bondholders, and it has tried to pay. But the $539 million just can't get delivered. When it issued the debt that Singer holds, it agreed to submit itself to U.S. law. No one gets paid until Singer and the other holdouts receive the $1.5 billion they want.
An earlier success may have emboldened Singer. He spent about $11 million on government-backed Peruvian bank debt in 1996, and Peru agreed in 2000 to pay him $58 million. That meant he got better than a 400 percent return. All it took was trips to court in the U.S., U.K., Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, and Canada.
"He finds a country in distress, he buys its debt, he demands full payment, and he doesn't care about the economics, the poverty, the circumstances of the country," says Mark Cymrot, who represented Peru and is head of BakerHostetler's international disputes group. "From his point of view, he would say, 'What's wrong with it?' And you'd have to say he's right. But I wouldn't want to earn money that way myself."
Singer began buying bonds before Argentina's record $95 billion default in 2001. A string of five presidents in two weeks, an historic recession, and violence that killed at least 27 people didn't turn him off. He kept buying defaulted debt at a deep discount. When most of Argentina's creditors accepted strict offers in 2005 and 2010 to swap their bonds for about 30¢ on the dollar, Singer wasn't among them. Instead, he won court claims to at least $1.7 billion from the country and embarked on a global quest to collect.
The voyage has been action-packed, though with a lot of legal consultants and arcane applications of little-known legal terms. In 2004, NML Capital, a Singer subsidiary based in the Cayman Islands, persuaded a judge to bar Argentina from selling four military warehouses it owned off a parkway in Maryland, freezing $3 million in buildings, motors, weapons, and a plane, according to an Argentine defense ministry spokesman. A lawyer for NML modestly said at the time that the order covered only real estate.
Singer managed to briefly seize an Argentine naval vessel in Ghana in 2012. After the three-mast training frigate was evacuated, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea ordered it freed. The frigate sailed off. President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner told her country that the vulture funds could try to take their boat, which happens to be named the ARA Libertad, but they wouldn't touch Argentina's "freedom, sovereignty, or dignity."
Other creditors followed Singer's example. In 2013, Fernández spent $880,000 to rent a jet after another group tried to ground Tango 01, the Argentine version of Air Force One, during a maintenance trip to the U.S. Even book fairs weren't safe. The Wall Street Journal reported that Argentina's National Museum of Fine Arts would keep artworks out of the 2010 Frankfurt Book Fair to stop creditors from snatching them.
This year, Singer tried to track down government funds allegedly funneled out of Argentina and into Nevada by an Argentine businessman accused of embezzling $65 million. He sued fellow billionaire Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies, known as SpaceX, hoping to take over the rights to two satellite-launch contracts Argentina had bought, valued at $56.5 million each. (SpaceX filed a motion to dismiss the suit.)
Argentina is in a difficult position. Until it pays Elliott Management and the other hedge funds, which include former Elliott employee Mark Brodsky's Aurelius Capital Management, it essentially will remain isolated from international capital markets. Unable to borrow abroad cheaply since the last default, the country has seen its foreign reserves hover near an eight-year low. It's said it can't boost its offer to Singer and his peers because the nation would be legally bound to do the same for the 93 percent of investors who agreed to the earlier compromises. It can't afford that. Kicillof has said Singer still would make a 300 percent return if he agreed to accept the deal others took.
DellaCamera, Singer's former head trader, recalls his boss hamming it up at parties by playing piano—favoring standards, classical, and New Orleans R&B by the Neville Brothers—but he remembers still more about their weekly portfolio reviews. "We'd go through every single position we had, religiously," he says. They'd do it at the office or Singer's home, where his cook would prepare dinner for colleagues. "He didn't want surprises. And when he felt there was a surprise, he would get upset," DellaCamera says. "You're into position five, two hours into this meeting, and you're tired a little bit, and it's going well, he's not yelling at you, so you're feeling good. And you get to the position, and let's say it's an investment in a gold mine in Peru or whatever the hell it is." Singer might stop and remember a detail about mine work that was supposed to have begun. "This is an insignificant mine, and you're trying to tell him that, but you don't want to tell him that. Once you know you're digging yourself in a hole, he just pounces on you. Oh, God. And that's when he gets angry. Because in his mind, it's all about the basics," DellaCamera says. "He wouldn't throw things, but he would yell. 'How could you miss this?' He would make you feel very uncomfortable."
Singer wouldn't comment for this story. When he gave Bloomberg News an interview in 2008, he wouldn't say where exactly in the New York metropolitan area he was raised. After law school he spent four years at corporate law firms in New York and three as an attorney in Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette's real estate unit. He left to start Elliott—Elliott is his middle name—with $1.3 million from family and friends. His oldest fund has delivered compounded annual returns of about 14 percent.
The photo of Singer accompanying that article, more than 30 years after he launched his company, was the first he'd ever agreed to sit for. It's difficult to find photos of him smiling. In two pictures online where he appears to be giving a half-grin, his lips are actually turned down. His chroniclers have had a hard time describing him: "With his trim white beard, wire-rimmed spectacles, and erudite demeanor, Singer could pass for a college professor," one profile declared. "With his trimmed white beard and rounded metal spectacles, Paul Singer might come across as a slightly miffed professor," a newspaper said. "With his trimmed white beard and rounded glasses, the 69-year-old could pass for a professor," another said. One writer has compared him to the minimalist composer John Adams. If you squint, Singer looks like a bald Wolf Blitzer delivering bad news—but with pinker cheeks and before the anchor got his thick black hipster glasses.
In letters to his investors, Singer has cast a wide net of disapproval. "Resentment is not morally superior to earning money," he explained about rising anger at the 1 Percent. The Federal Reserve, he wrote elsewhere, is "a group of inbred academics" who have "lost any semblance, any wispy remnant of humility." The U.S. and Europe are "headed for mass poverty and degradation of freedom." Regulators "are quite sure to embarrass themselves again soon." The government confiscating property "is not out of the realm of possibility." Society itself might be undermined, he wrote this year, by a nation "disdaining the rule of law and paying whatever it wants to pay."
A person who worked on Argentina at Elliott says the firm thinks the country has abandoned the market's guidelines, turning a debt into an anti-American political ploy and playing a game of brinkmanship. The person, who asked for anonymity because of Singer's penchant for privacy, says Elliott sees the saga as a fight between mercy and justice, with the Argentines begging for amnesty and Singer wanting to uphold his lawful rights. He adds that the hedge fund thought one of its people was possibly being followed by an Argentine agent or lawyer.
A current colleague, who also would only speak about the case anonymously, says it's simply an issue of free markets. Singer believes contracts must be respected and laws enforced, the colleague says, and has the resources to try to see that they are. He has dug in deep, and he wants to win.
"My guess is, he thought Argentina would never allow the technical default to happen, it would be too debilitating for the entire country," says hedge fund manager J. Kyle Bass, whose Dallas-based Hayman Capital Management bought Argentine bonds last year. "The bottom line is, he's a tremendous distressed investor. And he's a profiteer at other people's expense."
David Skeel, who studies bankruptcy at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, says "a fair amount of Singer's activities with developing-country debt have been immoral—trolling for claims and then pushing them to the hilt—but it's hard to feel too sorry for Argentina." Skeel says the Argentines are periodically coercive, stubborn, and biased. Harvard Business School's Noel Maurer reverses that. He supports some of the fund's previous battles—especially against the Republic of the Congo—but sides with Argentina this time, saying Singer has "picked the wrong battle, if you're on a moral mission."
All battles eventually end. This one has many different options for its grand finale, including an outsider saving the day by taking the debt off Singer's hands. JPMorgan Chase has been part of a group of big banks holding talks with Elliott, a person with knowledge of the discussions says. If the hedge funds' own talks with Argentina progress, they could ask a U.S. judge to delay implementation of the ruling that blocks the country from paying others, allowing that $539 million interest payment to go through. The bondholders who have already compromised could waive the clause that keeps Argentina from offering holdouts a better deal. Or maybe everyone will sit tight until next year when that clause expires, and room for negotiation expands.
In a recent letter, Singer professed astonishment that the saga has attracted so much attention. When the Argentine rulings and judgments are cobbled together, the whole thing adds up to about a tenth of Elliott Management's $24.8 billion. He has larger concerns on his mind. An electromagnetic pulse that could massively disrupt the grid is "one risk that is head-and-shoulders above all the rest," a recent letter to investors warned. He appears to have a vision of himself as not only a toppler of nations, but also a master of the universe in the most cosmic sense: Citing a solar disturbance two years before the American Civil War, named the Carrington Event, he called for a "bipartisan push to make the country (and the world) safer" from the perils of the solar system.
Bipartisanship wasn't in the air at a May dinner in Midtown when Singer delivered a speech at the annual gala for the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, a think tank that promotes "economic choice" and "individual responsibility." Singer is chairman of a board that includes fellow hedge fund billionaire Daniel Loeb and Elliott colleague Jay Newman, who helps oversee the Argentina investment. Standing in a ballroom originally built as a bank, Singer complained about "the rhetoric surrounding the issue of income inequality becoming increasingly demagogic." In the audience were two of the evening's honorees, Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush, both potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates.
Singer has given at least $1 million each to the Republican Governors Association, a political action committee for Mitt Romney, and another PAC affiliated with strategist Karl Rove. Among his larger concerns are intrusions on freedom. Even one group that looks like a glaring exception to his tuxedoed conservatism, American Unity, his PAC advocating for gay rights, supports "pro-freedom Republicans." It aims to spread "freedom for all Americans," including his son, a doctor. The two appeared on a panel this year featuring finance executives and their openly gay sons.
The Manhattan Institute, noted Singer, is "home for those who have the courage to say what is right and stick with their views, no matter how intense the pressure to conform to a comforting-yet-false consensus." He promised its members will "do what we can to preserve—to prevent—New York City from becoming, say, New Havana."
His earlier Institute talks were also short, sharp, and infused with animus toward the federal government. "Individual liberty, the basic underpinning of American society, requires constant defense against the encroachment of the state," he said at a November 2011 talk, quoting Citibank's late chief executive officer, Walter Wriston. At the time, Occupy Wall Street protesters were still camped downtown in Zuccotti Park. Singer, standing in black tie in front of a gold-tasseled curtain, called them "aging hippies, anticapitalists, and anti-Semites," and "people desperately in need of potty training." The crowd clapped, but he didn't smile.
Maybe he smiles inside. There are signs now and then that he might enjoy a kind of humor. At this year's World Cup, according to a colleague, as the Argentine national team made its glorious push and its country teetered toward default, Singer was there, in the stadium. He was wearing an Argentina jersey.

Motorcycle Questions? Ask a Mechanic.
Hello how are you
Hi, good and how are you?
I am well, thanks. Your thoughts are correct. The issue here lies in the carbs, after sitting for as little as 30 days fuel begins to go bad, when this happens, the bad fuel gums up and blocks the small passageways that feed fuel into the engine, applying the choke opens up another avenue for the fuel to flow.
At this point the carbs will need to come off of the bike, be completely disassembled, soaked in a quality carb cleaning solution ovenight, then everything blown out with compressed air
ok, that's what I was afraid of
is there no type of gum remover, like sea foam, etc. that would work?
Carb work, especially the rear one, on that bike is no easy task.
You can try a product called "mechanic in a bottle" i have had success with small engines using it. However, i allways end up cleaning the carbs from motorcycles by hand. Old school
what does this type of work usually run in regards XXXXX XXXXX?
ok, I'll give that a shot. I've used that before also with my tractor and it worked great.
Labor rates will vary depending on location, expect to be charged approx 4 hours labor
If you have any further questions or problems feel free to ask. Please remember to rate your experience, my goal is excellent service. Thanks and good luck!
ok, Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX the mechanic in a bottle a shot
You are welcome
Thanks for your support.
Have a good day
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX

If youĺre eager to see Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer and Alex Pettyfer shake their booties, step right up.
In ôMagic Mikeö (2012, Warner, R, $35), director Steven Soderbergh uncorks a wildly entertaining romp about a Tampa stripper (Tatum) whoĺs at a crossroads in his life when he decides to play mentor to a former footballer (Pettyfer) in need of a job.
Soon, Pettyfer is joining Tatum and Bomer in an all-male dance revue at the ladiesĺ nightclub Xquisite. Scenes of the ab-tastic guys dancing Ś and bonding backstage Ś are buoyant fun but the film has some emotional potency, too. Comedy, drama, Channing Tatum in a thong: whatĺs not to like? Extras: extended dance sequences and featurette.
Also New This Week
ôSeeking a Friend For the End of the Worldö (2012, Universal, R, $28) Steve Carell delivers such a heartfelt performance in this odd romantic comedy that he almost makes the film worth checking out. Almost. Written and directed by Lorene Scafaria (ôNick and Norahĺs Infinite Playlistö), ôSeekingö centers on an insurance exec (Carell) who strikes up an unlikely bond with his neighbor (Keira Knightley) a few days before an asteroid is scheduled to decimate the human race. Besides the fact that Carell and Knightley are never believable as a couple, their quirky banter jars next to scenes of riots, suicides and spontaneous orgies. Extras: outtakes, commentaries and featurettes.
ôTake This Waltzö(2012, Magnolia, R, $27) For her follow-up to the astonishing ôAway From Her,ö actress-turned-director Sarah Polley has come up a smart drama about the tricky business of loyalty and betrayal. Michelle Williams stars as a freelance writer who sparks with an artist (Luke Kirby) on a long flight from Nova Scotia to Toronto. Even though sheĺs married to a cuddly cookbook author (Seth Rogen), she continues to hang out with the sexy stranger. Both funny and painfully real, Polleyĺs latest speaks right to the heart. Extras: none.
ôAbraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunterö (2012, Fox, R, $28) What if, in between freeing the slaves and writing the Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) also obliterated neckbiters with his trusty, silver-tipped axe? Thatĺs the quirky premise behind this murky action flick. The set-up alone isnĺt the problem. In fact, the notion that all bloodsuckers are slave-trading ghouls is ingenuous. But director Timur Bekmambetov (ôWantedö) turns every action scene into a CGI orgy, complete with ôMatrixö-esque slow-motion effects. The film quickly drains of life. Extras: featurettes, Linkin Park music video and commentary by scripter Seth Grahame-Smith.
ôTyler Perryĺs Madeaĺs Witness Protectionö (2012, Lionsgate, PG-13, $28) After starring in every installment of the ôAmerican Pieö franchise Ś even the straight-to-DVD ones Ś Eugene Levy knows something about turning lemons into lemonade. But thereĺs not much Levy can do to enliven this sitcom-ish outing about Madea (Tyler Perry) playing host to a wealthy financier (Levy) who has agreed to testify against a crooked Wall Street mogul. The funniest bits involve Madea laying down the law to Levyĺs family, including his mother (Doris Roberts), wife (Denise Richards) and spoiled-brat kids (Danielle Campbell, Devon Leos). Extras: featurettes.
ôThe Invisible Warö (2012, New Video, unrated, $30) A winner of the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, Kirby Dickĺs stirring documentary looks at the experiences of female soldiers who were raped while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Dick interviews dozens of women who reported their sexual assaults only to be betrayed by their commanding officers. The movie is an eye-opening piece of investigative journalism that is likely to leave you angry not only at the shocking statistics (the Department of Defense estimates that 20 percent of servicewomen have been raped) but at the cover-ups that followed. Extras: commentary by Dick, extended interviews and featurettes.
ôThe Santa Clause: 3-Movie Collectionö (1994-2006, Disney, G-PG, $50) While this series of new-to-Blu-ray Disney movies isnĺt in the same league as ôItĺs A Wonderful Lifeö (which the third entry quotes) or ôMiracle on 34th Street,ö the films are, by and large, as welcome as a tall glass of eggnog on a frosty night. Tim Allen is a toy company exec who unknowingly inherits the role of St. Nick, much to the excitement of his young son. The final film, co-starring Martin Short as a jealous Jack Frost, is far too hectic, but the original and its sequel are first-class sleigh rides. Extras: featurettes.
ôSunday Bloody Sundayö (1971, Criterion, unrated, $40) John Schlesingerĺs groundbreaking follow-up to ôMidnight Cowboyö finally gets the high-def transfer it deserves. The action revolves around a gay physician (Peter Finch) and a thirtysomething divorcee (Glenda Jackson) who both find themselves in love with the same young artist (Murray Head). Despite talky patches, ôSunday Bloody Sundayö movingly depicts characters struggling to overcome loneliness and connect with one another. The ending - a risky monologue delivered by Finch to the camera - deepens the filmĺs intimate power. Extras: new interviews with Head and others, including Schlesingerĺs partner Michael Childers.
ôThe Hanging Treeö(1959, Warner Archive, unrated, $25) Gary Cooper is at his brooding best in this underrated western about a physician with a shady past who opens up shop in a Cascade Mountainsĺ mining village. Cooperĺs sour outlook on life begins to change as he nurses a temporarily blind woman (Maria Schell) back to health. Western specialist Delmer Daves (ô3:10 to Yumaö) makes dramatic use of the Washington locations, telling the story of a broken manĺs redemption with minimal dialogue and breathtaking imagery. Extras: none.
ôLooney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume Twoö (2012, Warner, unrated, $45) Blu-ray makes the adventures of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig practically pop off the screen. And even though this set is also available on DVD, Blu-ray is the way to go since you get an exclusive third disc boasting 11 Tex Avery shorts from MGM, among other rarities. And thatĺs not all, folks. Ten of the 50 newly remastered shorts are making their home-viewing debuts, including some gems animated by the likes of Chuck Jones, Ben Hardaway and Friz Freleng. Extras: over eight hours of content, including docs.
ôBones: The Complete Seventh Seasonö (2011, Fox, unrated, $50) Emily Deschanelĺs maternity leave led to a shortened season for the police procedural, still going strong after more than 125 episodes. Thereĺs still plenty of drama (thanks to a season-long arc involving a deranged hacker) and comedy as newly pregnant forensics expert Temperance Brennan (Deschanel) tries to figure out how to balance work, motherhood and marriage to FBI agent Ś and baby daddy Ś Booth (David Boreanaz). Extras: deleted scenes, featurettes, gag reel and commentary on one episode.
ôThe Fugitive: The Most Wanted Edition -Complete Seriesö (1963-1967, Paramount, unrated, $250) Named by TV Guide as the 36th greatest TV show of all time, this superb series is now available in a mammoth set that boasts all four seasons and 120 episodes on 33 discs. David Janssen stars as Richard Kimble, a physician wrongly convicted of the murder of his wife. He escapes and begins his hunt for the real killer, the infamous one-armed man. The series does a great job sweeping you headlong into the action as Kimble runs and runs for his life. Extras: vintage featurettes, extended version of the pilot and a CD featuring Pete Rugoloĺs score.
ôHappy Endings: The Complete Second Seasonö (2011, Sony, unrated, $46) During its first season, this relationship comedy often seemed like a more frantic version of ôFriends.ö But the second season is a big improvement; itĺs edgier, quirkier and more rapid-fire funny. Alex (Elisha Cuthbert) and ex-fiance Dave (Zachary Knighton) are back to being buddies while Max (Adam Pally) lands the seemingly perfect boyfriend and singleton Penny (Casey Wilson) gets the ôThe Year of Pennyö off to a rocky start with a move to a condo which might or might not be haunted. Extras: deleted scenes and outtakes.
ôThe Ernie Kovacs Collection: Volume 2ö (2012, Shout Factory, unrated, $25) Shout Factory had such success with the first Kovacs box that theyĺve brought out a 3-disc sequel stuffed with more goodies, including episodes from the comicĺs NBC morning program and ôTake A Good Lookö game show as well as 18 sketches from assorted series and a rare, western-themed pilot co-starring Buster Keaton. Kovacs was a true original and his ôdark, surreal humorö (to quote the liner notes) is on display in this fine set. Extras: home movies, interviews and a 2011 panel discussion with Jeff Garlin and Bob Odenkirk, among others.
Amy Longsdorf is a freelance entertainment writer. Her DVD reviews appear Sunday in The Mercury.

Your dog could have ingested phosphorous (found in fireworks, matches, rat and roach poison) then seek immediate treatment. The "garlic breath" would be accompanied by diarrhea and vomiting.

Cris Cab Enlists Big Sean for 'Good Girls (Don't Grow on Trees)'
Who is Cris Cab? Cab is a 19-year-old singer from Miami who was discovered on YouTube by Pharrell Williams after posting his acoustic cover of Wiz Khalifa's hit 'Black and Yellow.' Now signed to Pharrell's I Am Other/Mercury imprint and working on his debut album with Wyclef, Cab is well on his way to stardom.
Cab's story of being discovered on YouTube is exactly how Justin Bieber came up in pop music. Although the two share the same boyish good looks, that's where the similarities end.
Cab, who is Cuban-American, brings a hodgepodge of Caribbean, reggae and hip-hop flavor to his musical sound, and, honestly, has a more soulful voice than the Biebs.
Evident of that is on his latest single, 'Good Girls (Don't Grow on Trees), which was co-written by Pharrell and produced by Wyclef. Originally released in 2011 from his 'Foreward' EP, the song gets updated with a fresh verse from G.O.O.D. Music rapper Big Sean.
On the track, Cab sings of breaking his girlfriend's heart and realizing he was wrong. "She helped me get my world intact / She had my heart, I told her that / Now it hurts every time I think about / The very night that I started with acting out / The morning brought a painful sun / Knowing now just what I've done / She always was the better half for sure," he sings.
Big Sean comes through with a verse to help Cab apologize to his ladylove. "Don't believe everything that you see up in a photo / When I'm with you, I wish that time could move slow-mo / The day I met your granny I dreamed about her family / And maybe one day we'll turn that group into a photo," he raps.
Getting Big Sean on the song was a major coup for Cab who has been watching the Detroit rapper's career from the very beginning.
"I've always really liked his flow and I've been watching him since he was up-and-coming and I just thought that he could put a fun twist on the song and keep the energy up," he tells Complex. "He happened to be in Miami after a show one night and he came by the studio and I got to hang out with him and play him the record and once he said he loved it. I knew he was gonna kill it."
If you like Cris Cab's new single, then check him out at his artist showcase event in New York at Santos Party House on July 12.

Finding Refuge
Who do you turn to in moments of deep distress? Some seek the counsel and comfort of family—a spouse, parents, siblings; and some call on close friends. We appreciate the words of advice, but mostly the comforting presence of those who know us. It's reassuring to know that we don't have to go it alone.
True Fellowship
The word fellowship conjures up some rather strange associations in my mind. When I hear it spoken, I immediately think of coffee and donuts, along with the basement meeting spaces in churches where those coffee and donuts are served. Most strangely, I also think about the 2001 movie The Fellowship of the Ring. So somehow my concept of Christian community has become inextricably tied to a tale of men, dwarves, and elves dealing with "one ring to rule them all."
No Lone Rangers
My country esteems "rugged individualism"—the idea that truly strong people do things on their own. The icon of this peculiar value was the Lone Ranger, a famous fictional cowboy of radio and the silver screen, and a solitary masked hero that protected others from harm. But it's interesting to note that the Lone Ranger was hardly alone. He had a trusty horse named Silver and a constant companion named Tonto. Because of this, the supposedly "Lone" Ranger had more friends than many people do!
Good Influence
We have two 5-month-old puppies that are energetic and love to explore. Azusa, the female, is the one filled with true wanderlust. Seymour simply becomes her partner in crime when he tries to keep up in a wild game of chase. From the same litter, they sleep together, eat out of the same bowl, and nestle against each other for comfort. Seymour's affinity to follow his sister out the door, however, shows that misplaced loyalty can lead one astray.
Saving Solitude
Several years ago I read about people who paid $2,500 per night at specific hotels in order to be disconnected from the Internet, their cell phones, and all other types of technology that pierce the silence. They were willing to pay a lot of money to obtain what they hoped would be some peace of mind—even if it was temporary. They were willing to pay a hefty price for some silence and solitude.
two things we need
Fire requires oxygen and fuel in tandem to keep burning—something that's important to know in my part of the world when winter snowstorms come calling! If you don't have enough oxygen flowing to the logs you've set ablaze, the fire will die down. And if you run out of wood, you'll soon be trying to warm your hands over cooling ashes!
Walking Close
In 2014, a pod of pilot whales was found floundering in perilously shallow water off the shore of Florida in the US. Forty or fifty short-finned whales remained close to a narrow shoreline—choosing not to swim out to the deeper waters, where they would be safe. Several of the blackfish were ill, which caused conservationists to worry. Pilot whales are intensely loyal creatures, and when one in their group is sick or in jeopardy, the rest of the pod simply will not leave. They form a circle and stay close together.
vertical and horizontal
Jean Vanier was an accomplished naval officer who had recently completed a PhD, and whose family oozed with prestige (his father had been the Governor General of Canada). Yet, living in the small French village of Trosly-Breuil, Vanier was alone and downhearted. His pastor encouraged him to invite two disabled men to live with him, and L'Arche (communities where disabled and those who Vanier calls "temporarily-abled" share friendship and life together) was born. Fifty years later, L'Arche communities exist around the world.
earth's shadow
When I see the moon at its thinnest stage, I sometimes think of a passage I read in Flannery O'Connor's A Prayer Journal. The writer composed these poetic words for God: "You are the slim crescent of a moon . . . and my self is the earth's shadow that keeps me from seeing all the moon . . . I do not know you God, because I am in the way. Please help me to push myself aside."
better than myself
Charles complained to his friend about some lower back pain. He was seeking a sympathetic ear, but his friend gave him an honest assessment. "Your back isn't your problem," he pointed out. "It's your stomach. Your stomach is so big it's pulling on your back."
heat of the battle
I talked with a former British elite forces soldier who had faced many battles and emerged unscathed. He said, "I don't believe in God." I challenged him by saying these familiar words: "There are no atheists on the battlefield."
you choose Q: what's the mission of the church?
Q; What's the mission of the church? —Sean
A: The church is a holy priesthood. As a body, it shares the gospel of Jesus Christ with the lost and intercedes with God for an unbelieving world (1 Peter 2:5,9). Acts 2:42 summarizes the activities of the earliest fellowship of believers—activities that should still characterize the church today—this way: "The believers devoted themselves to the…
After telling a Bible story, the teacher asked his Sunday school class, "What's the name of the beggar?" Six-year-old Tommy confidently shouted, "Lazarus!" The teacher then asked another question: "What is the name of the other man?" Another student shouted, "Rich man!"
clear communication
Many battles in life stem from false assumptions that are made due to lack of communication. For instance, we share a wall with our neighbors and—since moving in 6 months ago—they've been redecorating. The garden, the garage, the bathrooms, the bedrooms; nothing has escaped a hammer, an electric power tool, or a paintbrush.

RPT-REFILE-Rio CEO to visit troubled Mongolia copper mine - sources
(Repeats story first published late Thursday; no change to text)
By Terrence Edwards
ULAN BATOR, March 26 (Reuters) - Rio Tinto's chief executive will visit its $6.5 billion Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia on Sunday, two people familiar with the visit said, amid signs the country's new prime minister is keen to end disputes that have delayed an expansion project.
Sam Walsh will visit the mine, located in the Gobi desert around 80 kilometers north of the Chinese border, to meet employees, said one of the sources, who asked not to be named because issues related to the mine are sensitive.
Time will also be made to greet members of the business community and some government officials, the source added.
Disputes over costs and taxes have delayed an expansion of the mine that would extend its life beyond its estimated 15 years. That has stoked investor worries about "resources nationalism", with several governments across the world looking to renegotiate contracts to get a bigger say in mining projects.
However, some analysts say Prime Minister Chimed Saikhanbileg is keen to reach a deal as Mongolia faces slowing growth in neighbour China and a softer market for its natural resources.
"Saikhanbileg's administration is Rio's best chance for a deal on Oyu Tolgoi phase two," said Nick Cousyn, chief operating officer of Ulan Bator-based broker BDSec.
"They (Rio) can either empower him by showing flexibility and respect, or risk losing Mongolia to the populist opposition." Continued...

Bedding down in The Library
Earlier this week I took part in a debate at the British Library -- 'Is the Physical Library a Redundant Resource for 21st century academics' organised by THE. To put it another way, should we all stay at home/in our studies and call up all the resources we need on our lap tops and let the country save all the money that bricks and mortar and bulky things like books eat up. You can read an account of the debate here and here and here.
Now no-one could accuse The Don of being a Luddite (I have my laptop open in the breakfast table and cant imagine what life was like before JSTOR), but I don't intend to give up the physical library without a jolly good fight.
My paean of praise for the physical library included some of the familiar lines...You dont just go to the library for information, you go there to learn how to think differently, and that is about ordering, classification, serendipity (what book you find on the shelf next to the one you thought you were looking for...on which, see Grafton and Hamburger on the marvellous but threatened Warburg Library). And you go also for the people, the other readers and the librarians. And you go for the sheer pleasure of having space and quiet to THINK... not to mention the pleasures of transgression (and on this topic I had a little nostalgic reflection on all the things we used to do in libraries . . . eat, drink, smoke substances legal and illegal, have sex. I was tempted to ask for a show of hands from those who had ever made love in a library bookstack, a bibliophile's Mile High club, but thought embarrassment might produce a misleadingly low score.
In case any younger readers are puzzled, smoking used to be allowed in libraries a few years ago. Again a bit like on planes, the back two tables of the Cambridge Classics Library used to be the smoking tables, and the husband recalls how the Warburg went on allowing smoking well after other London libraries. Banning it would have caused a riot amongst its elderly Eastern European readers, but did -- he points out -- make the place a bit whiffy for everyone else. (Health and Safety gurus might like to reflect that none of these libraries burnt down!)
In some ways the most interesting area of disagreement between myself and the other panellists was in terms of speed and 'academic output'. There is little doubt that a lot of information can be more quickly retrieved electronically. Most of the other speakers treated this as an unproblematic good, and one went so far as to relate our embracing of new technology to the fact that UK academics produce more outputs per head than those of other nations.
At this point I felt very much in the opposite corner. The fact is that really good thinking is often a very SLOW process .. and it is the kind of process that goes on when you are waiting the thirty minutes that it takes for the book to arrive on you table, or on the 15 minute (for me) bike ride to the library. Indeed speed of information retrieval can actually work against good thinking. (Should we, I wondered, start a SLOW THINKING movement like slow cooking. . .?)
And as for congratulating ourselves on producing more than other nations . . . it's quality we want, not quantity. We probably should slow down a bit.
Anyway, by I nice coincidence I am now in New York for some meetings. And I am staying in The Library Hotel . . . a niche market, boutique hotel near New York Public Library -- and on a library theme. All the rooms are numbered according to the Dewey decimal system and are kitted out with books to match (I'm in Management 600.003 which isn't too much of a temptation, but the husband had philosophy a couple of weeks ago). And the picture at the top of this post is their "Do Not Disturb" notice.
A Library where eating, drinking, sleeping -- but not smoking, of course -- are all encouraged.

Is your WordPress blog is slow? – and how can you improve performance without any programming experience. A clarifcation of these two questions is the main objectives for this post.
I have to admit that I'm obsessed with website speed and there is a few very obvious reasons…
- A fast loading site is a great start on a site visit from a user experience perspective
- A fast loading site improves important KPI's like conversion rate, exit% and time spend on the site
- Google loves fast loading sites and gives SEO benefits to fast loading sites
So the need for speed is pretty obvious in my mind.
However the nature of WordPress with many different plugins of various quality and dynamic rendered content can be problematic from a speed perspective.
The good news is that there are many well performing and simple tricks that can compensate for the default WordPress setup.
Is my WordPress site slow?
Before digging too deep into the many different tools for improving WordPress performance, it's a good idea to start with a quick analysis of the current performance of your site, so you have a benchmark before the optimization, and you get a feeling of how drastic tools you need to implement to get a decent performance.
You can't find any exact definition of how many seconds loading time your site needs to be classified as a fast site. My recommendation is to to run the below speed test at your own site and pick a few of your most important competitors and run the same tests on their sites to get a reference.
General speed test with WebPagetest
WebPagetest is a great tool for getting information on the general load time of your website.
With webpagetest you can see the total loading time of your page, and the loading time of the individual components. It's recommended to run the test a couple of times to see if if it's the same components that slows down your site.
Google Pagespeed Insights
Another great tool for diagnosing the general condition of your site is Google Pagespeed Insights. Google Pagespeed Insights gives a quick analysis of your blog, and specific tips on how to improve the performance.
The PageSpeed report gives your site a score from 1 to 100, and a clear suggestion on which things to prioritize from a performance standpoint.
Visit Google Pagespeed Insights
WordPress Plugin Performance Profiler
WebPagetest and Google Pagespeed are general tool that can be used for any website or platform. For WordPress based sites, the Performance Profiler plugin can be very helpful to take a deep dive into the performance of the components in your blog.
When analyzing tips4php.net, 1 plugin out of 17 active plugins took 75% of the total loading time for all plugins. This is a great insight which inspired me to look for alternative and better performing plugins, but also made me reflect on how important this plugin is.
Tools for improving slow WordPress blogs
Now that you have a understanding on how your site performance is, it's time to introduce a toolbox that can help you improve the performance.
W3 Total Cache
If you don't use any kind of caching in your wordpress blob – installing W3 Total Cache is a no brainer.
The more plugins and advanced WordPress functionality you're using on your blog, the bigger is the risk that your blog is gettign slow. W3 Total Cache does a great job speding up wordPress. It delivers great performance out of the box, but you can tweak it further to get a massive performance improvement.
Parallel loading plugin
A browser normally uses 2 parallel connections to the same server. If your blog contains many images or other elements that requires a individual server conncetion load times can be significantly effected.
Parallel loading plugin can improve the performance by service your content from up to 5 different subdomains => up to 12 parallel connections instead of 2!
Max CDN
If the physical distance between the server that hosts your blog, and your blog readers is getting too big, your readers can experience very slow loading. A quick way to determine the distance is looking at the Vistitor report in Google Analytics. Using a CDN system like MAX CDM replicates the bandwidth consuming content like images and scripts to servers around the world, thereby dramatically reducing the distiance from your server to your readers.
As a bonus, MAX CDM integrates very smoothly with W3 Total Cache
WP-HTML Compression
If you're really passionate about WordPress speed optimization, HTML compression can also increase site performance by reducing file sizes.
This plugin works by shortening URLs and removing standard comments and whitespace; including new lines, carriage returns, tabs and excess spaces
WP Minify
However instead of doing this manually the WP Minify plugin can automatically combine js and css files.
Plugin Organizer
Changing the load order of plugins can improve the time it takes before the first parts of a new page is displayed to the user. Reordering the load sequence of plugin doesn't speed up your site, but it give the user a feeling that your site is faster than it actually is.
BJ Lazy Load
Lazy loading means that images are only loaded if the user scrolls down to the location on the page where the image is located.
I hope you found the speed measuring tools and optimization tools in this post useful. My experience from testing my own projects is that there is a big risk that a WordPress site gets slow over time as you introduce more and more plugins and tools. I'm going to rune tests on the installed plugins on my sites on a regular basis to test for performance, and benchmark against alternative plugins.

Why do you want to close your account, if you don't mind me asking.
gamertag : Interstellanoob
let's have some fun, kill some zombies together
well done buddy, thats very kind. Not a participant btw
Thanks for the useful input guys
When I'm done with my mix, I usually export it and have a look before final mastering stuff. Usually I even tweak things based on a weird or 'unhealthy' look the piece might have. Blocky waveforms usually annoy me, I prefer it to look nice and skeletal, loads of fine jagged bits and quite thick, maybe even a 'furry' look.
Some of my thoughts are :
Do you do this?
Does it make for a good guage of things?
Are waveforms conventions not a good idea to reference?
Does genre have a big part to play?
Lookng forward to some answers as I think I pay too much attention to this, especially more recently.
Erick_McNerney said
StoneColed saidYeah, for something like that, they should give you a cash bonus, or maybe have a trump staff vote for the Most Wanted contest, meaning that any staff vote trumps all of our votes, making you the winner!!!
Erick_McNerney saidEvery day I close my eyes and spread my hand out and hit the keyboard on a search engine. What ever comes up first I look at. One day I found a Russian website, who's only English had Themeforest, Codecanyon, Audiojungle etc. So I emailed Envato with it's link and asked if they were ripping their stuff off. About a month later I got an email saying new Ninja badge for pointing it out. So I'm an accidental Ninja, random right? Too bad it didn't come with a raise! I also have found some of the most lame websites ever the same way. Also it appears that any combination of 4 letters means something abbreviated for the internet or the name of an organization or company. So even old people get bored and do stupid stuff online.
Wow, Tommy, nice new badge I see you have!
It is a nice badge indeed. Erick I think the the name 'silver lining' is good. Generic 'inspiring piano' style names need to slowly go away. Especially as the quality of the music here increases the names should reflect the art as much as possible. Slapping a generic name on your piece if it is just that is probably fine though…Maybe it depends on the audience too.
Hey Erick, reading the title made me laugh!
When you changed it I was a bit taken back, It's like you upped your seriousness….perhaps to reflect an increased commitment to audiojungle?
I don't think your buyers/audience will be affected though, beethoven always looks angry and well…people bought his music
Seems frequent changes are whats considered a 'no, no' here.
thanks buddy,
Zatara admits closely monitoring Jess' profile just to see if she made more sales based on her choice of branding and new following
I was actually kind of glad sales wern't affected, but it just shows that having a super attractive profile picture is not the secret to success here and it is in fact the music/marketing/helpfulness etc….really, i should think. Having said that..Andrew though, he looks like Jeff Buckley and his sales are screaming…maybe you need a music related sexy face?
Hi Jess,

Massive coolant leak but where from?
Hello there! I have just bought an e30 (my first BMW!!) I checked all the fluids took it for a drive and it ran great and everything checked out. But the other day on my drive I took off the coolant filler cap to put some more in and loads of coolant started running out from underneath the engine. The leak has slowed now but I cannot find where it is coming from, all the hoses look and feel good as do the clamps and the leak is coming from somewhere between the engine and the fan. I managed to get my iphone in to take a video, can anyone think where this is coming from, do I need a new water pump and gasket? Any advice would be great as I would like this car to be back on the road before the snow starts ideally...
bad link
It wouldn't let me post it as a proper link if you just copy the /watch... part after youtube.com then it should work I just tried it.
link to video : http://tinyurl.com/ax7ub4f
Is it dripping out from the bottom of the water pump?
double post....
Here's the video. Your link didn't work, even copying everything after /........ (talking to OP)
That's coming from either the thermostat housing or the water pump. My guess is water pump. :( Replace the cam drive belt while you're in there.
Quite possible. Feel under it with your hand. Also check with torch and mirror. Any leak that big cannot hide.
Cheers for the advice guys and thanks Tim96 and Hornhospital for getting my video up! I guess this will be an expensive trip to the mechanic as all I have is a load of screwdrives an adjustable wrench and a pair of dogs..
You have more tools than most dealerships in Africa ;)
I'd strongly suspect the water pump.
It would be easy to spot if it was coming out under pressure from the thermostat flange.
My expansion tank on my E46 spang a leak and it was gushing alot when the engine was on and hot, slowed when engine was cold and when pressure was low.

Valve announced today that Steam is now available on Linux. They've also launched a sale of Linux games - for this week, you can get games that run on all OSs (typically at least Windows and Linux) for up to 75% off!
Steam is currently available most readily in the Ubuntu distribution of Linux, and can be downloaded from the Ubuntu Software Center. The folks over at Canonical were happy to partner with Steam, and had this to say:
"The introduction of Steam to Ubuntu demonstrates growing demand for open systems from gamers and game developers," said David Pitkin, Director of Consumer Applications at Canonical. "We expect a growing number of game developers to include Ubuntu among their target platforms. We're looking forward to seeing AAA games developed with Ubuntu in mind as part of a multi-platform day and date release on Steam."
If players play Team Fortress 2 on Linux, they'll get a limited time free in game item - a Tux hat. Big Picture Mode is also a part of the Steam for Linux experience, bringing 10 foot play to Linux as well as Windows. Other major releases, like Serious Sam, are also being made available on Linux:
"We're huge fans of Linux. It's like the indie OS-a perfect home for our indie game," said Alen Ladavac, CTO of Croteam, creator of the Serious Sam franchise of games. "And who better to lead the charge into Linux gaming than Valve? With Steam distribution on Windows, Mac OS, and now Linux, plus the buy-once, play-anywhere promise of Steam Play, our games are available to everyone, regardless what type of computer they're running. That's huge."
Linux is available now, and is free. The Steam for Linux sale continues from today until Feb 21.

The euro hit a three-week high against the dollar Friday, boosted by an encouraging German rebound in business confidence and rising hopes for a crucial aid payment to debt-wracked Greece.
The euro bought $1.2973 at 2200 GMT, compared with $1.2884 at the same time Thursday.
It climbed to 106.90 yen from 106.25 yen late Thursday, while the dollar edged down against the Japanese currency to 82.40 yen from 82.47 yen.
"The US dollar is lower on balance and the euro is higher, with investor sentiment supported by better-than-expected data and with a lack of progress by European policymakers doing little to unsettle markets for now," said Nick Bennenbroek at Wells Fargo Advisors.
In Germany, the IFO business confidence reading unexpectedly rose in November, ending a six-month slide in Europe's biggest economy.
European officials voiced confidence that a deal on Greece aid will be reached Monday, at the next emergency meeting of the Eurogroup of finance ministers from the 17 states that use the single currency.
"Events in Europe are likely to be the focus of the week as the Eurogroup meeting is expected to see negotiations on the Greek financing gap progress further," said Geoffrey Kendrick at Nomura Foreign Exchange.
The dollar fell to 0.9279 Swiss francs from 0.9349 francs late Thursday.
The greenback also was lower against the British pound, which fetched $1.6033, up from $1.5937 a day earlier.

Hello! First off, I spent a while searching, but this problem seemed to be happening more with modded wrx's, barely any stock ones. Therefore, I thought a well-detailed question with pics might be beneficial not only to myself, but for future searchers too.
I just bought an 04 WRX Sedan that had an MBC on it and a Greddy catback. Nothing else seemed to have been touched. Upon reading, I found that MBC's are not a good idea for our cars due to the possibility of hitting full boost at partial throttle. Therefore, I decided to return the boost control to the stock solenoid. After reading up on the hose locations, etc, I finished removing the MBC and returning it to stock. I had to use new hoses (They appeared to be the same inner diameter as stock) since the previous owner had butchered the stock ones. I then only boosted .05 and realized the restrictor pill (orifice), was gone. I ordered a new one form Subaru and installed it today in the hose between the compressor and the "T" that splits the line to the wastegate acuator and boost solenoid (The location of the pill is shown by the yellow arrow). I used a 3/16" T fitting (pictured in red arrow), since I did not have any 1/8" fittings. The green arrow points to the only stock hose left, the one from the side of the boost solenoid to the top nipple on the intake.
From there, I put a long hose from the T to the bottom of the boost solenoid. The reducer to go from 1/4" to 1/8" was missing, so I replaced it with a 1/4" to 3/16" reducer (pictured in light blue arrow).
The other hose going into the side of the boost solenoid was stock and went to the intake nipple (pictured in green arrow). Funny thing here is that it was disconnected when I bought the car and the nipple on the intake was capped off. I removed that cap and replaced the hose onto the nipple.
After all of this, I reset the ECU and took her for a spin. The boost goes to about .09/.1 and then drops to about .06, then back up. It oscillates like this through most of the pull and then seems to settle at .05 again. As far as I can tell, everything is hooked up properly, except for the fact that they are not stock hoses. I know I am also missing the inline coupler that goes in the line from the T to the solenoid, where alot of people do the 3/16" mod. There is no inline coupler since the hose goes uninterrupted from the T to the solenoid. I doubt it's a boost leak since my boost was stable before I replaced the restrictor pill, and even when the MBC was on. The hoses look bigger than the stock hose in the picture, but the inner diameter seems to be the same. What do you guys think?

Ryan Gosling Breaks for Band Session
Making a high speed exit, Ryan Gosling was spotted leaving his bandmate's home in Toluca Lake, CA on Saturday (April 28).
"The Notebook" actor kept it casual while sporting a classic white v-neck t shirt, brown loafers and sunglasses as he avoided the nearby shutterbugs before hopping on his motorcycle and speeding off down the California streets.
While women everywhere swoon over the 31-year-old actor's chiseled face and rocking bod, he's recently been nominated for another dignified award based purely on his raw talent.
After previously winning the MTV Movie Award for best kiss and the Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Love Scene, Gosling is now nominated by Spike TV for biggest ass kicker in the 2012 Guys Choice Awards.
You can catch the show on June 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT to see if this Hollywood hunk takes home the award or if fellow nominee Liam Neeson brings home the cake.
Enjoy the pictures of Ryan Gosling leaving his friend's house in Toluca Lake, CA (April 28).

So does this mean Tmobile will not accept the N1 even if the N1 is bought from other places (privately ,Amazon...)? Meaning we should wait for the Desire? (I'm not leaving TMO).
