1) Does anyone here remember when Pat D and his group of Objectivists like Caymus, Dan Banquer and Cliff stated that if the interconnects were kept to 3ft and the speakerwire was kept to 10ft a difference wouldn't be detected?
Pat D's actual words were "You offer no proof that differences between 3 foot interconnects at line level or 10 foot speaker cables of reasonable gauge are ordinarily audible with equipment that is functioning properly within its design limits." Taken from this post: http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/prophead/messages/21106.html
Of course you notice Pat D, ever the audio politician leaves himself a way out, whenever anyone hears a difference Pat will claim something wasn't "functioning properly within its design limits." Or Pat will say I never said all! While meaning 99.999999999999999%
2) Does anyone here remember when Dan Banquer said "One of these days the crackpots are going to realize that there is no real sound of wire, it's the driver at the source end either having the frequency response rolled off or distorting due to the reactance of the wire. Or in the case of speakercable, the reactance of the cable mixing with the reactance of the crossover. It's basic theory here folks, no magic and not rocket science." Here's where Dan said that:
Funny thing happened today. I decided to read Dan's old R.E. Designs FAQ's and I came across this statement by a man named Dave:
I don't see any of those designer cables. What gives here, Dan?
To which Dan answered As far as the cables are concerned I have not heard to date any of these so called designer cables improve much of anything. In fact I GENERALLY HEAR THE OPPOSITE (my emphasis --thetubeguy1954) EVERYTIME someone gives me a demonstration of the so-called latest and greatest cable versus the Belden cable that I use, I HEAR ANYTHING FROM DIMINISHED DYNAMIC TO GROSS DISTORTION. (my emphasis --thetubeguy1954) I remember being at someone's place and getting a demonstration of what different power cords would do to his power amp. THE GOOD OLD BELDEN WON OUT READILY (my emphasis -thetubeguy1954) All the others degraded the dynamics and clarity. I have come to the following conclusion about these so called designer cables. They are really an attempt to reduce the dynamics of the equipment so the system "sounds better" in an acoustically untreated or poorly treated room.
Dan's comment started me thinking. What happened to; as long as the interconnects are kept to 3ft and the speakerwire is kept to 10ft a difference couldn't be detected, even via DBTs as they'll sometimes add?
1) How is that EVERYTIME Dan heard, anything from diminished dynamics to gross distortion? That's what Dan said EVERYTIME time he heard a difference! How did he hear a difference at all? I guess, according to Pat D, Dan's equipment wasn't functioning properly within its design limits!
But notice now Dan says something different...
2) How did Dan GENERALLY hear the opposite occur? For that's EXACTLY what Dan said he generally heard a difference albeit not one he liked.
So Dan did you hear something everytime you compared wires or generally?
3) How did Dan hear that the "good-old" Belden won out readily? When comparing power cords? According to the other Objectivists power cords cannot effect the sound!
dan isn't even consistant with what he says, is it everytime or generally? Can power cords make a difference or not? According to Dan the Belden power cord won everytime! These Objectivist guys cannot even agree amongst themselves, Hmmmmmm it makes one wonder, what do they really believe?

Is there any private server for FFXI so I dont have to pay if I want to play that game?
Is there any private server for FFXI so I dont have to pay if I want to play that game?
nope there is none
Private servers would suck, anyway. They'd only be able to hold 1000 players (most servers can hold 4000), and it would be hard to find a party in Valkrum Dunes, and it's impossible to level after Lv 10 without a party. They'd have to make like 10,000x rates.
Currently playing: FFXIV (Elucifer Arclight, Leviathan server), LoL (Trash Tier Waifu, NA server), SMITE (Zacewing)
And my answer is:
Stop being retarded, think about the population on the game, think of the COMPANY what own's the game.
Now that you have thought about it, do you expect there to be a private server?
Oh and go get a job or atleast get your parent's to pay for you.
This game deserve's to be payed for, it doesn't deserve slacker's like you.
And no private server discussion allowed.
If it happen's again i am reporting you.
bye <33
Heeeeey Theeeeere
Amen to that Dedinho, and besides this game is far to big to make a Pserver on.

iOS: Where the money is
February 23rd, 2011
Wow, it has been a while… if you've been breathlessly reloading this page for months waiting for a new post, well, your wait is over! Enjoy this… minor comment on a news item.
Amidst the recent hubbub over Apple's decision to charge publishers 30% of revenue for in-app subscriptions, and to require that such subscriptions be the same price or cheaper as subscriptions outside the app, many online commentators are convinced developers will flock to Android instead. However, one need only look at the facts to get a different impression:
The App Store now controls 82.7% of the worldwide app market [with $1.8 billion in 2010], down from 92.8% the previous year, IHS notes. Research In Motion's (Nasdaq: RIMM) BlackBerry App World is second with 2010 revenues of $165 million, translating to a 7.7% market share and year-over-year growth of 360.3%; Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) Ovi Store is next at $105 million, corresponding with 4.9% market share (up 719.4% year over year), with the Android Market bringing up the rear at $102 million, accounting for 4.7% of the market but experiencing 861.5% annual growth (emphasis mine).
30% more of zero is still zero.

Apple just kidding about iOS tool restrictions, apparently
September 9th, 2010
In a statement this morning, noted curmudgeon and control freak Apple signaled a surprising change of heart, announcing that it is "relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code." Exactly what that means has yet to be revealed, but we'll likely learn more very soon.
One of the big looming questions: does this mean Adobe's Flash-based hero-to-zero Packager for iPhone will stage a triumphant comeback? Or will Adobe announce that it has had enough of Apple's shenanigans and is perfectly happy in the strong, loving arms of its new beau, Android? (Perhaps a Harlequin romance novel cover graphic is apropos, I'd better start the Google search now.)
Apple also announced that it would allow at least a tiny bit of light to shine into its notoriously opaque app review process, thus revealing the arcane rituals and sacrifices necessary to get an app approved for the App Store. My guess is that it involves heaping piles of plantains and pig carcasses in an offering to appease the angry Jobs, who dances about in a loincloth speaking in tongues, stopping only to occasionally answer a random buffoon's angry email rant. Just speculating, though.
Flash on Android: It sucks, but it works (sometimes)
August 31st, 2010
Flash's much-heralded, much-delayed appearance on Android with Froyo has received its share of attention, from both overly optimistic and relentlessly critical sources, and it's difficult to give it a clear assessment at this point. A variety of videos have shown Flash running reasonably well, while others show it with its pants down around its ankles. The best verdict you can give it right now is, it depends on what you're trying to do.
Apple's argument has long been that Flash's performance is not up to snuff on mobile devices, and there's plenty of evidence to support that position. Even with the 10.1 update, many Flash-based sites run poorly, especially when playing video. Errors, choppy playback, failure to load and other problems are common. GigaOM's Ryan Lawler, cutting to the chase as he presents a video by Kevin Tofel struggling with several different video sites on his Nexus One, concludes:
While in theory Flash video might be a competitive advantage for Android users, in practice it's difficult to imagine anyone actually trying to watch non-optimized web video on an Android handset, all of which makes one believe that maybe Steve Jobs was right to eschew Flash in lieu of HTML5 on the iPhone and iPad.
However, I had another sort of experience with Flash on Android this weekend, which proves (at least to me) that there's another side to the story.
I had recently shown my Web Foundation class the nifty Flash-based interactive video for "Sleepeater" by the New Zealand band Shihad. The song got stuck in my head, and I wanted to download it; and it happened, as these things often do these days, while I was in my car. (No, I wasn't driving at the time.) However, the band's latest album won't be released for a few weeks, and a search on iTunes via my iPhone turned up nothing. (The song is actually available in the New Zealand iTunes store, but a kiwi I am not.)
So, I turned to the most logical source in a situation like this: MySpace. As luck would have it, Shihad's MySpace page had the song in its music player, and it didn't care what country I'm in. The MySpace music player, as you are probably aware, is Flash-based. I loaded their page on my Dolphin HD browser, scrolled over to the player, and tapped it to download the Flash piece, which went relatively smoothly. After it appeared, I tapped the song in the playlist, and after a bit more non-Flash-related fumbling to turn on the sound, my car filled with the song I would otherwise be unable to hear.
Now, the experience was not fantastic — the player is slow, it's not very responsive, and of course the sound quality is fairly mediocre. But it worked. And the reason why that's relevant should, I hope, be obvious: there's an awful lot of content on the Web that's locked up (or set free, depending on your point of view) in Flash, and many people will want to get to it, sooner or later, on a mobile device.
Apple's approach is to try to convince the world it doesn't need Flash content, because people can download an app to do the same thing; but that only works for the content someone has decided to put into an app. The same is true of HTML5 content. Howling reports of atrocious Flash video performance aside, there is a valid reason for wanting to use Flash on a phone, even if the experience is poor. Video and games may not be ideal candidates, admittedly. But the next time you just have to see or hear something on your phone and it happens to be in Flash, Android at least gives you a chance of success that is greater than zero.
That may be faint praise, it may not be a selling point for everyone, but it's difficult to accept the idea that you should be glad your iPhone and iPad are absolutely, unequivocally unable to play Flash. Rocking out to "Sleepeater" in my car the past few days, I was certainly glad not to be stuck with Apple's decision.
Apple grabs 48% of mobile profit with 3% of the handsets
August 19th, 2010
Android fans have been crowing over a Nielsen report that Android phones outsold the iPhone in the first six months of 2010, and it is likely a harbinger of things to come. Android's carrier ubiquity and choice of hardware almost guarantee its eventual rise to smartphone OS marketshare leader.
However, the real story for Apple continues to be profit, as a recent report reminds us: Apple earned 48% of mobile hardware revenue in Q2 (you know, where the revenue actually comes from) despite selling only 3% of the units that quarter. The numbers echo its position in the PC market, where it commands 35% of the operating profit with 7% of the market share.
Make no mistake: Apple has enjoyed its position as the king of the smartphone era, and it will certainly not fade quietly. While we haven't heard any rumblings on the patent lawsuit front in a while, we probably haven't heard the last of it; like a mama grizzly, Apple is known to aggressively defend its creations when threatened. With the antenna drama mostly behind it, Apple should be able to focus on 7″ iPads or magic levitating iPhones or whatever else it's cooking up next (my vote is for streaming your iTunes library via LaLa technology, but I'm not holding my breath).
However, even when iOS is no longer the dominant smartphone platform, Apple will still sit at the top of the profit heap, which will give them the capital to thrive even without controlling the market. And the iPhone shares the sheen of attainable luxury with the rest of Apple's product line, which will likely keep it in the hands of the hip and influential for some time to come.

The Windows Phone 7 design story starts to trickle out
August 16th, 2010
Details about Windows Phone 7 have been sketchy so far – though developer tools and demo units have been out in the wild for some time, the lack of a final SDK and a clear understanding of how it's all supposed to work have made it difficult to know what to expect. Well, prospective WP7 devs, it must be your birthday, because Microsoft just offered another peek behind the curtain with a series of videos from its Windows Phone Design Days. The seminar included an overview of WP7 development, personas, demo apps and more, including this lovely demo of a USGA golf score app. Below, a bit of YouTubery showing the USGA app in all its movery-flippery:
One of the biggest drawbacks to Web apps on any mobile platform is the lack of a cohesive experience around finding and saving them — unlike iOS and Android, there is no "store" to go to, which means you're pretty much on your own. Apple's own list of Web apps is clunky and lacks many of the App Store's features, and the only other real alternative is spinning the Google roulette wheel and taking your chances.
OpenAppMkt aims to change that, with a simple, store-like way of finding and saving Web apps for your iOS device. Though it's still in beta and isn't flush with the selection you'll find at the major app storefronts, it's exactly the right approach for bringing Web apps closer to par with their natively-coded cousins, including user reviews and the ability to charge for your apps. Though the site is currently optimized for iOS Web apps, there's no good reason why this site (or a similar one) couldn't offer Web apps in flavors for all the major smartphone platforms — after all, Web apps are still the closest thing we have to a "code once, run anywhere" solution for mobile apps.

Concept: The HTC 1
July 12th, 2010
Not content with the current crop of versatile-yet-unrefined Android phones, designer Andrew Kim imagines an elegant brass-and-glass enclosure that, among other things, transforms into a desk clock. His thinking is spot-on — surely there must be a market for an Android phone with iPhone-level looks and polish — and though his conceptual evolution of the Sense UI is a bit lacking, his overall effort is a thing of (fake) beauty. My only question is why he chose to anchor himself to an existing brand like HTC instead of letting his imagination really run wild… who needs cease-and-desist orders mucking with their wonderful creations? At any rate… HTC, the gauntlet has been thrown.
Update: Did I mention Kim is an 18-year-old freshman at Detroit's College for Creative Studies? Damn.

iPhone 4. Where is the iPhone 4? I need an iPhone 4.
June 29th, 2010
(Note: NSFW language)
This video, which I can only assume is making the rounds, beautifully encapsulates both the myopic allegiance of some iPhone users to their favorite device, and the unshakable belief among the tech geek set that simply listing another device's set of superior-on-paper features constitutes an ironclad repudiation of the device in question. (Plus it's just pleasantly weird in its execution, thanks to Xtra Normal.)
As I've pointed out before, for the average user, experience trumps features. "It's better because it's better" is a perfectly sound argument, and I believe it's the primary reason most people buy the iPhone (or most things, really). Like the iPad, it's an emotional purchase more than a rational one — it simply feels right to the people who love it — and Apple's deep understanding of this type of purchasing behavior is what keeps them on top.
(Full disclosure: I own an Evo, and will probably also be buying an iPhone 4 before long.)
Update! With a retort from more robotic 3D humanimals.
Print to Pixels: Magazines on the iPad
June 21st, 2010
(After a bit of a hiatus while teaching a summer class, I'm finally back with this overdue overview of print magazines taking the leap to digital.)
Print is dead, at least if you listen to the conventional wisdom of the past decade (or three). But there is still a multitude of things print-style journalism does really well, far better than the lifeless, utilitarian Web content you're, um, reading right now. Despite the nay-saying of many in the blogoverse that the publishing industry is an old, tired, ancient dinosaur that's old and tired, magazines are still capable of conveying striking beauty, energy and emotion, while imparting a depth of understanding uncommon on the Web. What's broken is their business model, not their format, something publishers desperately hope digital magazines may help fix.
The lead-up to the iPad's launch saw breathtaking visions of the future of publishing from the likes of Wired, Sports Illustrated and VIV, but the reality nearly two months after launch is decidedly less impressive. Wired has finally surfaced with a somewhat scaled-back (but non-Flash) version of its technogeek bible, but Sports Illustrated and VIV nowhere to be found yet. Thus it falls to a ragtag band of hopefuls to start staking out the iPad's potential as a print-digital crossover. After the break, an overview of some of the most noteworthy attempts, what they get right, and where they fall short.
May 29th, 2010
The latest blog trend, following on the heels of the popular "Why the iPad is a letdown" articles that were making the rounds in April: the "Why I now love the iPad" article. One such example is a post by venture capitalist Fred Wilson, who wrote a fairly typical iPad pan a month ago, saying:
You give up a lot with the iPad and you don't get much in return. You lose multi-tasking which is a huge deal for me. I can't listen to music while I write this. That alone is a showstopper for me. Plus it's slow as a computer. The apps run slow and so is the browser. That could be my wifi but my MacBook runs on the same wifi network and there's a noticeable difference in the speed of browsing between them.
A fairly standard critique, echoing statements made by many others in the blogorama. Oh, but what's this? Fast forward to this week, and all of a sudden, Mr. Wilson has fallen for his little aluminum buddy:
Over the past week, I have fallen in love with the thing. And so I am telling you why…
Part of it is the fact that I can go out on my terrace with a cup of coffee, a glass of lemonade, or a glass of wine and do email in a relaxed mood. If my wife or kids interrupt me, it's easy to put the thing down and engage in a conversation. The iPad makes using a computer less of a commitment and that has important implications for the way I compute. I like how I feel when I am using the thing.
That difference in the way he evaluated the iPad then and now — first based solely on a cold, left-brain assessment of its features and shortcomings, followed by a more natural, emotional and shared (with his family) understanding of how it impacted his life — is the key to understanding the future of the iPad and the tablet in general.

The English Department provides you with a depth and breadth of literary knowledge while teaching you to explore problems creatively, to be sensitive to life's diversity, and to read the world critically and thoughtfully.
To declare a major in English, please select a faculty member (not visiting) and request that the professor serve as your adviser. Pick up the appropriate form from the Registrar's Office and take it to the department chair for approval.
If the adviser you selected cannot take any more advisees, then you will decide on a second choice with the chair. Your choice of adviser is extremely important as he/she will help you design a major program and provide advice, and/or recommendations for jobs and graduate school.
English Major Requirements
The English major consists of ten courses, as follows:
Categories 2 and 3 will include two courses at the 200 level and two courses at the 300 level. Students must also have two courses at the 400 level, one of which fulfills category 4. No more than one English course at the 100-level will count for credit toward the major.
Progression and Sequencing: The successful English major follows an effective sequencing of courses. To that end, all majors will take:
Any exceptions to the above sequencing must be approved by the English department chair.
All English majors will maintain a Davidson Domains site to which they will upload one (or more) of their essays from the gateway course (ENG 220), along with other writing samples from 200- and 300-level courses.
To determine whether you should pursue the old or revised major, log into Degreeworks and play the "what if" game:
Additional information about the English major is available in the College Catalog.
English 220 lays the foundation for the three introductory historical survey courses (240, 260, 280) and for upper-level literature courses. Prospective English majors are encouraged to take English 220 as early as possible. The purpose of English 220 is to address many of the essential questions that confront a student of literature.
English 220 explores these and other critical issues through well-informed discussion and writing on selected texts of poetry, fiction, and drama by major authors in world literature.

Jones gets spot on World Cup team
BOBSLEDDING • Lolo Jones' international bobsled debut will come at the sport's highest level the World Cup circuit. The Olympic hurdler was one of three women's push athletes selected to compete for the U.S. in this weekend's World Cup opener at Lake Placid, N.Y. Jones, who tried the sport for the first time just last month, will be in the back of USA-3 with Jazmine Fenlator as her pilot.
Last month, Jones was one of six push athletes chosen for the women's national team. That did not guarantee her a spot in a World Cup event, though after the final race-off data was calculated on Sunday night, Jones had her spot.
The U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation is expected to release the full team lineup, including pairings for the men's sleds, on Monday.

Two South African music lovers embark on a mission to uncover the fate of an obscure, 1970s-era U.S. rocker whose debut album became a surprise hit in their home country, and uncover a shocking secret along the way. Sixto Diaz Rodriguez had the kind of musical career that every aspiring rock star fears -- lauded by critics but ignored by the public, he released two albums before unceremoniously disappearing from the spotlight. But while sales of Rodriguez's debut CD Cold Fact fell flat in the U.S., overseas in Australia and South Africa, the fans couldn't get enough. In apartheid-torn South Africa in particular, Cold Fact became something of an anti-establishment classic, eventually going platinum. Later, rumors began to swirl that Rodriguez had suffered a horrible death. When Rodriguez's second album Coming From Reality makes it's belated debut in South Africa, a pair of devoted fans take it upon themselves to uncover the facts surrounding the mysterious musician, and get the surprise of a lifetime while attempting to track the profits from his record sales.

DATE & TIME: Saturday, January 4, 10 a.m. (PT)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Reynolds Center (8,355) -- Tulsa, Oklahoma. Television: None. Home Record: Fullerton 3-3, Tulsa 3-2. Away Record: Fullerton 2-4, Tulsa 0-5. Neutral Record: Fullerton 0-1, Tulsa 1-2. Conference Record: Fullerton 0-0, Tulsa 0-0. Series Record: Tulsa leads, 3-1.
GAME NOTES: The Tulsa Golden Hurricane open up a three-game homestand on Saturday afternoon, as they welcome the Cal State Fullerton Titans to the Reynolds Center.
Fullerton had been a winner of three of its last four games prior to last Saturday's road bout with UNLV, which it lost handily, 83-64. The Titans have not fared well this season, as they sport just a 5-8 record, including a 2-4 mark in true road games.
Tulsa has also struggled during its non-conference schedule this season, winning just four of 13 games during the first two months of the campaign. The Golden Hurricane are losers of two straight, most recently dropping an 85-74 decision at Maryland on Sunday. The good news coming into this matchup is that they've won three in a row at the Reynolds Center.
In regards to the all-time series, Tulsa has beaten Fullerton three out of four times, with the latest meeting coming in 1990.
The Titans fell behind early in their most recent game and could never recover on their way to a 19-point defeat, as they shot just 34.9 percent from the field (including 3-of-15 from 3-point range) while allowing UNLV to make 48.4 percent of its field goal tries. Michael Williams led the losing effort with 13 points, while Josh Gentry and Steven McClellan each netted 11 points in reserve roles.
Fullerton has struggled to score points all season long, as it shoot 43.3 percent from the field for 67.3 ppg, which all but negates a solid scoring defense (69.8 ppg). The biggest reason for its offensive inconsistency is due to its spotty play from beyond the arc, as it makes just 5.5 3-pointers per game at a 30.9 percent clip. Williams paces the squad with 14.8 ppg on 41.3 percent from the field and 31.2 percent from 3-point territory. Alex Harris brings 12.6 ppg to the table, while also leading the team with 1.2 spg. Marquis Horne narrowly misses the double-digit scorers club with 9.5 ppg.
The Golden Hurricane actually led their most recent game by three points early in the second half but quickly lost control on their way to an 11-point loss at Maryland. Although they were able to keep the game close for much of the contest thanks to a strong 12-of-26 showing from 3-point range, their overall field goal percentage (.388) failed to impress, and they also lost the rebounding battle, 43-34. James Woodard shined in spite of defeat, netting 25 points on 5-of-9 from 3-point range. Rashad Smith and Pat Swilling put up 12 points apiece, while D'Andre Wright posted eight points and 11 rebounds off the bench.
Tulsa has generated a solid offensive attack this season, sporting 72.2 ppg, but its defensive effort has not been strong enough to support it, as it allows 75.8 ppg. It is consistently outmanned on the boards (-3.2 rebounding margin) and shoots free throws at a lowly 63.6 percent efficiency. Woodard is both the team leader in scoring (14.6 ppg) and rebounding (6.2 rpg) and he shoots an impressive 42 percent from beyond the arc. Smith brings 12.4 ppg and 5.4 rpg to the table while shooting greater than 50 percent from the field.
With neither team playing well this season, Tulsa's homecourt advantage will likely prove to be the deciding factor. Expect the Golden Hurricane's stellar 3-point shooting to get the best of the Titans.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Tulsa 77, Cal State Fullerton 72

Firm's Output under Uncertainty and Asymmetric Taxation
We consider competitive firms operating under price uncertainty when taxation is asymmetric (i.e. profits are taxed at a higher rate than losses are compensated). In the absence of risk sharing tools, the larger 'gap' in taxation may either lower or increase the firm's optimal output, depending on whether the relative measure of risk aversion is less than or larger than 1. In the presence of risk sharing markets optimal output does not depend on the tax rates, nor on the price distribution or the firm's attitude towards risk. The firm will engage in hedging and, as a result, will lower its expected taxes. Copyright (c) The London School of Economics and Political Science 2004.

Hi, I mentioned this on the other discussion but would just like to clarify on this one.
I really think the solution to all this is on the purchasing page for any product. (ie a product that comes with extras designed by others who deserve recognition and money)
If I make a theme that uses three selected sliders, images and background music etc., the customer can select which slider to include, or all three. Similar extra's for images and sounds (and even demo data) increase the price accordingly.
The author has to state which items are included when submitting to Envato, and this reflects on the payment page. Maybe a $12 slider would be $8 extra on the final price.
If the theme needs a piece of code, image or sound essential to that theme, then that is built into the calculation already for the theme price ($40 plus $5) and everytime that theme sells for $45, Envato credit both authors for their respective amounts.
This wouldn't take too much administration, and each theme generates enough value to make it worthwhile placing optional extra's – which could generate more money!
These 'Extended Licenses' are a can of worms eh! Allowing another developer to take your work and reuse and resell it multiple times can feel demoralising, especially when you continually develop and improve your work – it is essentially a different product 12 months later. Much better to sell your work each time as a one-off that can only be used for one client on one website, with a discount tier for future purchases of the same item.
Hi everyone,
Not sure if this has been suggested or considered, but with regards to offering different sliders, what about offering certain sliders with the theme at a bundle price.
When the buyer is buying your theme, on the same page they select which slider to include.
So say the theme is one price $40 (author gets the commission) and if the buyer chooses the Revolution Slider or whichever slider, the price goes up $10 or $15 dollars (credited to slider author)
Envato sort out the commissions and everyone is happy.
I should think that the author of the slider would allow you to demonstrate the slider on your theme for free, because the sales count for them too.

Q&A: Orlando Cuellar
By Robert Coster
Photo: Maryse Abraham/Premium Boxing Promotions
"It is my calling." This is how trainer Orlando Cuellar defines his profession. The Cuban-born, New-York raised Cuellar has been a trainer for over 30 years, worked with seven world champions and is being talked about as one of the best in his field. Orlando's present star is "Road Warrior" Glen Johnson and he also trains a slew of promising young boxers. Fightnews sat down with the articulate, congenial trainer to talk about the many aspects of the profession.
Orlando, you've been a trainer for over 30 years. Can you tell us how you got your start?
I was an amateur boxer in New York. Then I moved to Las Vegas. I started in the business in an odd way, in the sense that I started training boxers that nobody wanted, not winners but losers. When you have a gifted boxer in your hands, training him is obviously much easier. However, it is much more challenging and satisfying when you are able to turn around the career of a boxer who is not performing. You have to start from the bottom up and it teaches you a lot.
You probably expect this next question: as a trainer, what do you require from a boxer?
The boxer has to be a good listener and be willing to work hard, to sacrifice. Now, this said you have to work with what you have. Champions and good fighters come in all kinds of packages. I've seen great fighters that can't punch, others that don't have hand speed or good footwork. You have quick learners, you have slow learners. The trainer has to know his fighter: you maximize his good points and improve where it needs improving. And there is also the hidden gem. A boxer who at first doesn't seem to be the real thing and then develops into a gem. That is what makes being a trainer fascinating.
So, a trainer has to be adaptable?
Definitely. What works with one boxer may not work with another. You need patience, psychology and analyze who you have on hand. As a trainer , you may be called to be coach, adviser and even big brother or father-figure. Again, all boxers may not need that. Some boxers are high maintenance, others are low maintenance.
Let's talk about some of the boxers you are now training. Can you define them in a few words and name all of their assets: Glen Jonson, Nicholas Walters, Luis Franco, Yan Barthelemy.
Glen Johnson: He has will, determination, strength and the ability to execute.
Nicholas Walters: Tough, driven, and a hard worker.
Luis Franco: Speed, speed and speed. Can physically do anything, and fight any style.
Yan Barthelemy: An interesting case. He was a great amateur but his transition to the pros was not easy. He came to me with a couple of losses and only one KO. I've taught him to sit on his punches and move away from the amateur style. Being the talented guy that he is, it has worked and he's now got three straight KO victories.
How would you categorize boxers?
1) Early bloomers
2) Late bloomers
3) Gym fighters-look great in the gym but underachieve come fight time
4) Fight fighters-may not look great in the gym but rise up to the occasion comes fight time.
Why did you choose to train in Miami?
The weather is great for boxers to lose weight, train and do roadwork. And we have great gyms here.
Which gym do you train?
It's called Thump and the owner,Dan Arintok is a dedicated manager providing boxers with the best training conditions.
You work solo or you have a team?
I have a team because, as a trainer, you need a team. I have my physical conditioning expert, Willy Del Sol and my expert nutritionist, Unni Greene. They are probably two of the best in their field.
Let's talk about Glen Johnson, that never fading great warrior. Is he your best success story?
Glen had these great qualities, a hidden gem and a late bloomer. I like to think that I did help turn his carreer around. Let's say we both changed each others lives(laughs).
You guys are no doubt studying Carl Froch tapes. Anything you want to say about this next opponent and what many people consider a tall order for Glen?
People are going to be surprised how the fight is going to be much easier for Glen than predicted. Of course, we are studying Froch and devising our plan to beat him, here in the USA or in the United Kingdom. Glen doesn't mind traveling abroad: he is the called the Road Warrior, remember?
One last question,Orlando. Would you consider doing anything else in your life than being a boxing trainer?
No way. It is what Indian philosophers call my "dahrma"- my calling, what I was supposed to be in life. It's never been about money. It is who I am. If I had to drive a taxi or be a janitor to keep my foot inside a boxing gym, I would. It's simple as that.

One of Lucian Freud's most famous muses, "Big Sue" Tilley, will be speaking tonight at Mayfair's Dartmouth House for the Public Catalogue Foundation's auction of works by leading British artists.
Freud's 1995 nude portrait of Tilley — Benefits Supervisor Sleeping — became the most expensive painting sold by a living artist when Roman Abramovich paid £17.2 million for it four years ago. As Benefits Supervisor Sleeping is now in private hands, tonight will be a rare opportunity to see Tilley, if not the painting, in the flesh.

Using Dabbler Patterns
Well where do we start? one of the forum members asked how do you fish Dabblers?
Dabblers were first created a few years ago by a good friend of mine Donald McClaren from Dromore county Down about 6 miles down the road from me.
Donald is a well known lough angler and ties up some great patterns, it is reputed that the pattern was accidently tied when tying up a mallard and claret but this has to be confirmed.The body material was to have come from a piece of carpet nailed to the back of the shed door, but aside from that the pattern revolutionised lough fishing and the dabbler was accounted for winning a fair few competitions all round Ireland.
My tactics when fishing the dabbler is a set up of three patterns, usually a bumble on the top dropper and then 2 dabblers, on on the middle dropper and one on the point.
claret bumble on the top dropper
bloody dabbler on the middle dropper
and a claret dabbler on the point
These are cast either in front of the boat or at an angle of 45o and retrieved fairly quickly back to within 8 to 10 feet of the boat where the rod is lifted to enable the bumble to skate across the surface then held their for around 4 to 5 seconds before re casting.
This method is because a fish may folow you in and then take the fly as we say on the bob.
There is a multitude of dabbler patterns and here are a few more we tried last year
Emerald dabbler
leggy olive dabbler
leggy gold dabbler
peachy dabbler
raymond dabbler
Hope this is of use to you

World History
posted by ZeeZee on .
Modern society does not often recognize their ancestors struggles to create states, cities, and towns. History was about empires, dynasties, and power. Two strong dynasties that ruled china, and where famous for their brilliant empire where the Tang and Song dynasties.
Many dynasties have emerged during chinese history. The most lasting legacies was the Tang and Song dynasties. Through this two strong empires the chinese administrative centralization and bureaucracy was refurbished. The Tang and Song dynasties were fundamental not only in chinese history, but also in world history.Even though both empires were rigorously, women sometimes enjoyed higher status than they did later. Peasants lived in small, largely self-sufficient villages that managed their own affairs.
The song dynasty (960-1279) was culturally the most brilliant era in later imperial chinese history. A time of great social and economic change. The Song scholar-gentry valued learning more than physical labor. They supported a revival of confucian thought. The song ruled 319 years, slightly longer than the Tang.
The Tang dynasty (618-907) is the second great dynasty of chinese history that was able to unify a vast territory, to spread culture and to absorb the cultures of surrounding states and people. Tang emperors Incorporated a system of land reform. Which broke large agriculture holdings and distributed the land to peasants. The Tang also made a system of canals encouraged internal trade and transportation.
Do you think this essay is long enough? Also can you make sure its not plagiarized, if it is can you help me paraphrase it?
If you wrote it, you know whether is is plagiarized or not. In this case, you know that it is. You are a cheat.

Drilling 1 1/2" hole through cinder block
I need to run conduit through my exterior wall of which I assume is cinder block (not sure how to tell if it's cinder vs concrete block). The outside diameter of the conduit is 1 and 1/2". I have access to a hammer drill but the largest bit from Home Depot/Lowes that I can find is 1". My questions.
1) Can I use the 1" bit and widen the hole with it and not risk damaging the wall?
2) What should I use to seal around the conduit if needed? Spray foam or a specific type of caulk? I'm hoping I don't have to... there is an LB fitting going inside on either side of the wall, so if I drill it just right it should be covered by the fittings.
3) Any general tips for the drilling?
I suggest you use a 1/4" bit and make a bunch of holes--then knock the plug out with a cold chisel----
That's the way I do it, but I use a 3/8 bit so it last longer. Also make sure to drill the hole from the outside not the inside. The block under the house may blow out some and not look as good.
I use Hydrolic cement to clean up and seal it.
I only mentioned 1/4" because I always seem to have a bunch of that size--I use the for wall anchors ---
Thanks for the tips. I believe the guy I'm borrowing the hammer drill from already has 1/4" or 3/8" bit too, so that saves me from buying a bit!
If you wanted it pretty, you could step up to a carbide or diamond tipped hole saw for masonry and stone just larger than diameter you are running through it.

Take charge of the dance floor in this flamenco-style dress by Tony Bowls TBE11202 Evening. Iridescent beading glimmers along the curves of the cross-over, micro-tucked bodice, and more beading sparks along the dropped waist. The skirt rushes in rivulets of sheer, lettuce-edged ruffles to a belling full-length.

National Players will present Williams Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Monday, Jan. 24, at Francis Marion University, as part of the university's Artist Series.
The performance will begin at 8 p.m. in the McNair Science Building auditorium. Admission is free and open to the public, and seating is on a first-come, first-seated basis.
Written in the mid-1590s and first published in 1597, "Romeo and Juliet" is Shakespeare's first non-historical tragedy, and it is in many ways the richest and most mature of his early works. Filled with all the passion and turbulence of young love, this timeless story of star-crossed lovers is a masterpiece of poetry and a whirlwind of emotion.
National Players, America's longest running classical touring company, has now reached its 56th consecutive season of touring. Currently the touring program of Olney Theatre Center for the Arts in Olney, Md., National Players has earned a distinctive place in American theater. Committed to the formation of young theatrical talent and audiences, National Players seeks to celebrate the experience of theatergoing by presenting the world's greatest dramatic literature.
National Players has performed for the public in 35 states and 10 foreign countries, reaching audiences in areas that are isolated geographically or economically; audiences that would otherwise never see quality live performances of classic plays.
Continuing in the tradition of traveling players, the troupe is totally involved in every
aspect of the plays they perform. They arrive a few hours before their scheduled performance to prepare each stage: raise the set, hang and focus the lights, check sound equipment and props, arrange dressing rooms, and perhaps run a brush-up rehearsal before donning costumes and makeup. When the final curtain falls, they do everything in reverse.
More information about the group can be found at www.nationalplayers.org.

While I was updating my address for my Skymiles account at Delta Airlines, I noticed that the miles I had were going to expire in a couple of weeks.
Well, I had tried to use these miles a couple of years ago for a trip for my sister-in-law. Although seats were available on the plane, Delta would not allow me to use the free ticket on the flight. They did offer a flight that was two MONTHS later, however. FRUSTRATING …
Anyway, my miles were due to expire, so I decided to cash them in on a few free magazine subscriptions. It only takes 300 to 500 miles to get a year's subscription to most magazines.
So I did what anyone with expiring miles would do … I got a subscription to EVERY SINGLE ONE of the the 32 magazines available!
Allure, Daily Variety, Glamour, Details, Latina, … The list goes on! The order was placed around Christmas so now all of the magazines are arriving. In PILES. Piles and piles of magazines are showing up daily.
I finally got around to looking at a few of the magazines last night. What a load of JUNK! I was reminded again of how crazy this world is! There is a jacket that looks like it was thrown into a trash bin and washed in a septic tank – all for $3,000! For a mere $1,000, I can buy a purse that looks like it was made from a dog's hide.
The marketing for some of this stuff is crazy! Another article mentions in passing that the cost of the meal for three people was $930. A mortgage payment for a single meal. It is written to sound cool, but I want to throw up.
I walked away from reading these magazines reminded once again of how the hooks are into the wealthy.
Let me tell you this – just because you have $1,000,000 in the bank does not mean that you are doing well! If you are making $300,000 per year, a $1,000,000 should be a mere start! You should have more like $4,000,000! Are you managing your money well? Or are you spending it like you've got it?
Is excess is OK? Are $930 meals acceptable?

Jessica Alba & Honor: Heathrow Traveling Twosome
Getting ready to head off on a fun mommy-daughter trip, Jessica Alba and her little one Honor arrived at Heathrow airport in London, England on Saturday (December 2).
The "Fantastic Four" actress and her adorable mini-me were all bundled up in their winter best as they walked hand-in-hand through the terminal while toting around warm drinks from the Costa coffee bar.
Eager to get their trip underway, Jessica posted a photo of herself and her daughter on her Twitter page with a caption reading, "Just landed! We're so excited for our adventure to begin #girls-trip."
The relaxing trip over the pond must come as a relief to Miss Alba as she been keeping very busy with her many other work endeavors.
Just a couple days ago, Jess explained just how busy she is as she tweeted, "Just finished a 17.5 hr day at work today- It was long but so awesome."

The Gabriel Method Review: Does it Work?
A diet-less program that uncovers your ideal weight.Top Rated Diets of 2017
What is it?
The Gabriel Method is a weight loss strategy that claims you can lose weight without having to diet. It suggests that weight loss is often the result of environment, emotional, and physical issues which affect the body's ability to burn and store fat.
It mentions its approach is a holistic way to help prevent "fat programs" and to provide life changing results forever. It's not like a typical diet in which the main focus is calorie counting; most of what you learn is new strategies for preventing the body from holding unto fat due to stressors. There are a lot of different techniques offered by this method which will be covered in this review. Our experts have rated and ranked many weight loss diets, and the overall best one was the 18Shake Diet. It combines an appetite suppressing meal replacement to prevent hunger for hours, and a fat burning stimulant free diet pill. To learn more information why 18Shake Diet was rated the best diet plan click the link here.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
The Gabriel MethodIngredients and Side Effects
This plan makes use of they refer to as the FAT program which stands for famine and temperature. The claim is that our ancestors had to promote fat storage during times in the winter where food access was limited. Now with our new formed bodies this can lead to hunger, less calorie burning, and increase storage of fat. So the suggestion is that our new environment make it likely one will gain weight, and that not having self-control and discipline is not the reason for weight loss.
It also adds how dieting can actually make weight loss harder and in turn it can promote obesity.
Chemical signals are activate in the body which lead to this FAT program. So it's advised to get the following:
• Nutritionally dense foods.
• Grass fed meats and omega 3's.
• Easy to assimilate proteins other than soy or processed meats.
• Healthy raw fats and raw uncooked produce.
• No fast absorbing sugars or carbohydrates. This includes bread, white rice, potatoes and heavy starches.
• Digestive enzymes and probiotics to aid digestion.
It also emphasized not mixing certain foods together such as acidic and alkaline. This means you can't mix starches and milks with meat. The idea of this is to give your body an environment where it can process the nutrients of these foods. The claim is that by eating foods which aren't wholesome or properly mixed you aren't allowing your DNA to repair itself and create healthy cells. This then can lead to ill health and weight gain.
Gain access to the top 10 list of the highest rated diet plans for weight loss in the link here.
A fundamental skill required is to visualize the body you want every day.This is known as manifesting and it's believed that by doing this trick your mind can help you reach your goals. It's also advised to understand why one might be overeating. This can come from a place of needing love or security, and instead of getting it through people, you find it via food.
Other aspects of this plan include:
• Making sure to drink enough water.
• Chewing food thoroughly.
• Exercising like our ancestors did.
• Eating earlier in the day instead of late night.
• Being in nature and getting enough sunlight. , or making sure to get some vitamin D supplement.
• Having a positive mental attitude.
To see a list of the top 10 ranked diet plans follow the link provided.
EDITOR'S TIP: Combine this diet with a proven meal replacement such as 18 Shake for better results.
The Gabriel Method Quality of Ingredients
Whole foods are greatly emphasized and there are some suggestions for supplementation such as omega 3's, and vitamin D. While these suggestions are healthy, it's not anything new you wouldn't already be recommended by a health professional.
There are also suggestions on mental attitude which are commonly known, such as having a positive outlook which can help reduce stress further triggering weight gain.
The issue is that the book emphasizes thinking about the kind of body you want which is supposed to make it appear. Also, it's suggested not to mix particular foods as acidic and alkaline is not good for the body. This is not grounded in any science, and there's no proof to suggest it would be effective. There is very little explanation about this plan other than the reviews from other customers as well. To see a top 10 list of the highest rated diet plans click the link here.
The Price and Quality of The Gabriel Method
There is optional support and meetings offered, but most of the cost is dedicated to a few supplements and eating nutritious whole foods. While this is good advice, it's not unique.
There's a complete lack of evidence about how the strategies outlined will promote weight loss. Without any form of calorie counting it's unlikely one can rely on real weight loss.
The overall quality is in question due to a lack of credibility and proof. The issue with visualization and alkaline versus acidic environments is that this is considered pseudo-science and cannot be treated as truth. This calls the entire plan into question, as these methods are seen as false. It's impossible to take a method like this seriously when it fails to provide proof for bold claims.
Business of The Gabriel Method
The official website offers additional resources such as meditation retreats;visualization meet ups and paid coaching. The creator of the plan is John Gabriel who lost 226 pounds through the use of The Gabriel Method. He is a biochemist which means he studies the chemical processes and changes in a living thing.
There are also testimonials offered from those who claim they have lost weight, but a disclaimer mentions:
"You'll find hundreds of testimonials, before and after phots and success stories on this website… I take their stories in good faith since I'm unable t personally verify the validity of their individual results"
Therefore, it's possible that some of these testimonials are actually paid off and not legitimate.
While there are useful techniques for weight loss, most of the advice is general or either completely unproven.
EDITOR'S TIP: The top 10 list of the best diets is available here.
Customer Opinions of The Gabriel Method
Listed here are some reviews from online users:
"has some nice ideas but a lot of them didn't work for me"
"If any pf that worked we would all be in perfect health and millionaires by now"
"Disappointed in the amount of information. Didn't feel there was much substance"
"I didn't care for it. It's a pitch to sell his products"
Many complained that they failed to learn anything new from this book, and that there was a lot of useless knowledge. The major complaints were that there isn't any real applicable information about how to lose weight exactly. Some also said that the diet tries to push the company's products.
Some didappreciate the visualization techniques, but they felt this was not enough to motivate them to help support weight loss. There were those who felt that thinking about a chosen body is not enough to promote any real weight loss.
Those who understood some science felt that there are many claims made which are untruthful.

Conclusion - Does The Gabriel MethodWork?
The Gabriel Method is not described as a diet; instead it's an approach to using the correctmind state and approach to selecting foods. There is no needed calorie counting and no particular foods one needs to eat, though there are suggestions for the scale of allowed foods. As long as its whole foods and unprocessed, as well as not mixing acidic with alkaline foods you can eat it. This limits the kinds of food combinations you can have. There have been customers who felt that while the advice offered can be helpful, there is still a lack of overall support to help with real weight loss. Some also found the idea of thinking about the kind of body you want to be unrealistic and based off of fake science.
Our experts have ranked and reviewed many different diet plans, and the overall most effective for weight loss was the 18Shake Diet. It combines a calorie burning diet pill with an appetite suppressing meal replacement. Both have only natural ingredients with no added stimulants, fillers, binders, or preservatives. The combined effect is to helpreduce overall calories and hunger which can multiply weight loss results. Customers have mentioned on their testimonials how it can help promote sustained weight loss support. It's said that the meal replacement is easy to drink and great tasting, and that the diet pill promoted many weight loss benefits.
The 18Shake Diet has both their diet pill and meal replacement shake backed by an entire 30 day money back return policy. This guarantee allows for returns with no questions asked and no hassle. To discover more information about the 18Shake Diet click the link here.

FINALLY! Something makes sense to me! First, I'm not sure this will work for everyone. I believe there will be those in the right state of mind that this will work for, others may not get it, and it won't make any sense to them.
I'm one of the lucky ones that has struggled with my weight for years, and his program and book made the connection for me. I had already looked into holistic healing, clean eating, and meditation before learning about the Gabriel Method. So those things helped me understand his method of weight loss. If you are looking for a quick fix or not willing to change your mindset as far as diets, this won't work for you.
I've been an on-again off-again follower of Jon Gabriel for years. Right now, I'm in an on-again stage, having just completed his guided detox. Jon is sincere in his desire to help people get and remain healthy and fit. If you have had issues receiving the book or program you purchased, contact them and they will figure it out and get the product(s) to you. I have only good things to say about Jon, his team and his program. I continue to lose weight slowly, and continue to add healthy live foods to my daily fare. I'm 66 years old, still overweight but losing pounds and inches consistently and feeling very good about the process. The mind is a powerful tool. Use it to better your life.
How did the program ACTUALLY work for you after one year or more? All of you who have reviewed this weight loss book/program: I WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING AS OF TODAY. Some of you posted on here years ago. How did the program change your life? Is it still working? What did not work? What was easy and hard? Did you give up and why? Please share your REAL STATUS, not your excited to be on this journey at the beginning status...everyone is excited in the beginning. I want to know about long term failure or success with this Jon guy's plan. Please please please help. Thanks!
My Question is below Thank you. I have orderd on line and have not got it in the mail off of the side of facebook add. Really Up Set took my money and got nothing. What is Up with that???????? Deboprah Abelovsky Would like to know where it is, Please, Thank you...
I found this book to be the best answer to changing your body. I have, like many of you out there, been on every diet out there since I was 11 years old. (I am now 32) After years of natural medicine and research, this system seems to be the most effective, not just physically, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Our physical bodies work in unisan with the mental, spiritual and emotional aspects of our body. I read the book, started the CD a few nights ago and I can already tell a change within me. :)
Impossible to access online data after paying for it, just another rip off.
I have recommended this book with the accompanying guided meditation to many people. It is not "think yourself thin", but rather, "change how you think." I recognize information from many notable sources and am impressed with how accessible he's made it. Specific diet advice to take home: Each time you eat a meal or a snack, include a protein source, some live food, and some Omega 3's. That, alone, could change many people's lives (and bodies). But really, that's not the most life changing part.
Can anyone please give me a sample of a typical day's eating? Like what do you have for brekkie, lunch and dinner and snacks?
Many thanks
I LOVE the Gabriel Method. Marie is right... it does work. It's healthy, it's sensible and it makes you feel good almost right away. You start to WANT to eat better, more healthy foods, and this increases over time. It's also a very helpful path towards finding the very things in your life that trigger your body into being fat. I have lost 5 lbs in 6 weeks... not much you say? Well I did it without being on a diet for the first time in my life. I'm liking that because when I get to my proper body weight I've got nothing to come off... because it's not dieting.
Marie I would be very interested in the tapes from nevereverdiet that you listen to, if you're still willing to share. firstname.lastname@example.com
Just watch 'Shallow Hal' movie. You do not have to read the book. imagine you are thin and be happy. haha wichcraft!
I am just about quarter of the way through reading the book, and even now, this makes a lot of sense. It gives you an excellent framework about the reasoning behind why your body harbours extra weight, and why it will let it go. Already, I am very aware about what I put into my body, and I only started reading 2 days ago!
This approach can only work as much as you want it to, as it is a belief and lifestyle change. Only you can change the way you live. If you do not believe that this will work, then it won't.
Regardless of if you have weight problems or not, this book is a must read for everyone. It works with your core values and principles, and will only ever serve to enhance your life.
Am over half way through the book. I like what he has to say. I have already broken most of my junkfood The Big Breakfast Diet over the past week. I think The Gabriel Method will work for me because I am already over the junkfood hump and will be able to start on the proper foods and visualizations right away! I believe this will speed the weight loss since my body is already asking for healthy foods!
I have to laugh at one of the apparent Cons of the Gabriel Method: "Does not lay out a specific or detailed diet plan"
Um, that would be because THERE IS NO SPECIFIC OR DETAILED DIET PLAN. That's the whole point!! It's an anti-dieting plan designed to help you lose weight by changing your attitude to food permanently.
this hasn't worked for me. it's sort of hard to just say "think yourself thin."
The research behind this aproach is solid. I have followed up with my own research when something did not quite make sense and found the ideas to be sound. Ironically it is a lot like the Furey Fat Loss system with a lot more science to back up how it works. If you study the priciples, it is not too difficult to engineer your own hard, fast diet and exercise regime based on what you learn from the Gabriel Method.
Having just read the book, I am lokking forward to being thinner. I haven't yet got the suplements and am wondering about the cost of same and if the method will work without them?
Hey its a great programme. I was a huge junk food eater, my partner too he had diabetes. We are working with the Gabriel Method now and our cravings for junk food, GONE. We ate junk 3x a day every day. Mc D's, KFC, pies, coke, sweets etc.. Our bodies were in famine..not anymore...GO GET THE BOOK!
I have just finished reading the jon gabriel website and am considering buying the book and giving it a shot. I've been overweight most of my life, tried all sorts of ways to shed the weight and nothing really worked. Kjc, you mention supplements. What are these? How much do they cost? Are they an essential component of the programme? Do they work? I thought the only parts of this weight loss programme were the book and (complimentary) CD. I hope there aren't lots of extra gimmicks you need to buy, otherwise it's just like all the other money making diets online.
Hoe does it work, i've just started reading it, and how do you lose weight, i don't get it
How does it work, i don't get it.
The call to change your life comes in different voices, some quiet and subtle and some explosive and loud. For Jon Gabriel, author of The Gabriel Method, his call was 9/11. On the day of 9/11, Gabriel topped the scale at 400 pounds. He was scheduled to be on United Airlines flight 93 that was hijacked by terrorists, but fate stepped in and Gabriel, at the last minute, had to change his plans. And then he changed his life.
The Gabriel Method came out of this life-changing situation, which inspired Jon to take control over his health and life and lose 220 pounds.
The Gabriel Method is a diet-less program that taps into your body's own logic to determine how fat or thin you will be at any given time. The way to lose weight is not to struggle or to force yourself to lose weight, but to understand this internal logic and work with it so that your body wants to be thinner.
The Gabriel Method also incorporates Jon's extensive background in biochemistry into this 252-page book, which also comes with a guided imagery CD. It has been highlighted on the television show Entertainment Tonight and it is endorsed by the American Holistic Medicine Association.
Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
- Teaches a holisitic and healthy approach to weight loss
- No calorie-counting or measuring food portions
- Encourages you to overcome the emotional and mental barriers that get in the way of your health
- Recognizes the differences in bodies and how our environments play a role in our health
- Contains a program for long-term weight loss success
- Does not lay out a specific or detailed diet plan
- Holistic approach to weight loss may not appeal to some
- Weight loss is gradual
The Gabriel Method is not a diet that will force you to count calories, measure how much protein you are eating or prohibit you from eating carbs. Rather, Gabriel makes the case that what pushes your body into a state of weight gain is eating food that is devoid of essential nutrients, not sleeping enough, allowing stress to overcome you and being overwhelmed by environmental toxins. All of this creates famine in our bodies. Famine articulates itself as weight gain rather weight loss. In an effort to protect itself, the body clings on to fat and forces you to crave and eat the foods that are void of nutritional value.
Therefore, in order to calibrate your body's metabolism and weight to its ideal set point, The Gabriel Method promotes a style of eating that balances leptin and insulin, two key hormones in weight loss. Eating foods that are whole, minimally processed and fresh are the mainstay of the Gabriel Method. In addition, as you go about your day, you are supposed to continually remind yourself to think of yourself as thin and visualize yourself in your ideal body.EXERCISE
Exercise is gently promoted in the Gabriel Method. You are encouraged to be active and to engage in activities that you enjoy doing.CONCLUSION
The Gabriel Method is a holistic approach to weight loss that was created by a man who once topped the scales at 400 pounds. Jon Gabriel uses his background in biochemistry and his own experience of years of being obese to create a guide that encourages you to in essence treat yourself with more respect from the foods you eat to the thoughts you entertain to how much sleep you receive each night.
The Gabriel Method may not melt off the pounds over night but it will encourage you to gradually and effectively change how you eat and how you live your life.Common Mispellings

966 mercury vapor rectifier
I've got a pair of Cetron 966 mercury vapor rectifiers that I've been using for a while (very happily. :cool: ) They look identical to Hytron 866A's that I have, and seem to operate identically as well. Ok, so I've been treating them as 866A's, but every now and then I start wonding what the difference might be ...
Anyone know anything about them?
Not super detailed, but...
Thanks Sy.
Wonder why I never uncovered that page in my web searches. Anyway, it claims higher voltage rating, yet the rating it lists is the same 10kV PIV as the 866A. hmmm
I did find interesting info there about a mysterious EIMAC 327-A triode (that I picked up who knows where.) I learned that it takes 100W to light the filament! I guess I won't be building a pulsed radar transmitter until I collect some more parts. ;)

A Christmas Story
In this theatrical adaptation of the classic film, 9-year-old Ralphie Parker wants nothing more for Christmas than a Red Ryder BB gun, no matter what its cost in eyes. On his quest to prove the virtue of his cause, Ralphie encounters discouraging teachers, unfriendly Santas, the Queen Mother of Dirty Words, and worst of all, a bright pink set of bunny pajamas. Released in 1983 and based on the semifictional anecdotes of memoirist Jean Shepherd, A Christmas Story swiftly cemented itself as a holiday tradition, and today families continue to respond to its warm humor.

The Nutcracker
Accompanied by Tchaikovsky's celebrated score, The Nutcracker weaves a magical tale of holiday adventure. Clara, the story's heroine, receives a nutcracker from her godfather, a wizardly toymaker named Drosselmeyer. Sneaking downstairs to see the toy after everyone else has gone to bed, Clara suddenly finds herself caught in the middle of a pitched battle between the toys and an army of mice. After saving the nutcracker with a well-thrown shoe to the Mouse King's head, Clara and her now-living prince venture into the Land of Snow and the Land of Sweets to celebrate amid the dances of nimble snowflakes, the regal Sugar Plum Fairy, and seasonally confused vampires.
