I take that back (can't edit otherwise I would) and assume that by "offset" you mean the angle of the pivoting head vs the rest of the tonearm.
If so, it should be obvious by inspection that no pivoting tangential tonearm can have constant offset. The nearest you can get is to lengthen the pivoting head so it becomes a pivoting wand, like the Schroeder

"This tonearm, published in 1970, is the best known solution working almost tangential. The cartridge tip was mounted exactly below a pivot-point. This idea made it possible to reduce the tracking error to +0.025 / -0.018°"
The Thales Simplicity tonearm is able to "reduce the tracking error to 0.008° which is three times less than all solution published so far."
The other published specs that I am aware of is from the Slovakian inventor Marek Bundzel.
And this is his DIY tonearm that looks like a variant of the Garrard Zero 100:
And the error is +0.009° / -0.040° and you can download the specs from his white-paper.

Please understand: I just a mechanic. Maybe I cannot love music as much as an engineer, or a physicist, or (of course not) a mathematician. Nevertheless, I view a bit, a schosche maybe, of skating force to be useful in getting that wee little stylus from here to there. So my question is, suppose the offset of a Garrard-type arm was about the same at both extremes of its traverse of the record. I do get that the angle must increase in the middle due to the arc. I conceive of the two arms as converging at a finite pivot about 24 inches from the stylus. The VE calculator doesn't go that far so I'll use 13 degrees. I have collected most of the bits for this experiment; now I'll just have to do it.
It won't be pretty.

An Analysis of Skate force
We will perform a force balance on the arm by considering the longer segment of the arm as a free body. The co-ordinate system is established by making the X axis the axial length of this body , Y the horizontal axis orthogonal to this and Z the vertical. We need only consider three degrees of freedom, namely X and Y translation and Z axis rotation, the other three being controlled by the vertical bearing and counterweight.
All forces in any direction must balance for the arm to resist translation, similarly all torques around any pivot must balance for the arm to resist rotation.
Since the object of the design is to achieve zero tracking error, we posit that all the frictional reaction force (Ff) acting at point C due to groove contact is in the X direction and normalise this to one force unit. (This force is usually of the order of 10mN).
Any skate force (Fs) will act in the Y direction though point C.
The torque around the pivot P must be zero, otherwise the arm PD would rotate. Thus the force acting at pivot D (Fd) must be axial to the segment DP. The angle PDE is known for any arm position so we can resolve this into an X vector Fd*cosPDE and a Y vector Fd*sinPDE.
If the guide at point E is frictionless the force it exerts on the arm at this point (Fe) must be normal to the tangent of the curve, otherwise the force would move the pivot along the curve. Again the angle θ between this normal force and the body is known for any arm position so we can resolve this into an X vector Fe*cosθ and a Y vector Fe*sinθ.
Force balance in the X direction requires that:
1) Fe*cosθ + Fd*cosPDE + Ff = 0
Since Ff = 1 we have
2) Fe*cosθ + Fd*cosPDE +1 = 0
Force balance in the Y direction requires that:
3) Fe*sinθ + Fd*sinPDE + Fs = 0
Torque balance around point D requires that:
4) Fe*sinθ*ED = Fs*DC which rearranges to
4a) Fs = Fe*sinθ*ED/DC
Substituting eqn 4a into eqn 3 gives
5) Fe*sinθ + Fd*sinPDE + Fe*sinθ*ED/DC = 0 which rearranges to
5a) Fe*sinθ(1+ED/DC) + Fd*sinPDE = 0
Sinx = cosx/tanx so from eqn 2 we write
6) Fd*sinPDE/tanPDE + Fe*sinθ/tanθ + 1 = 0 which rearranges to
6a) Fd*sinPDE = - tanPDE( Fe*sinθ/tanθ + 1) which rearranges to
6b) Fd*sinPDE = -Fe*sinθ*tanPDE/tanθ - tanPDE
Substituting eqn 6b into eqn5a we get
7) Fe*sinθ(1+ED/DC) - Fe*sinθ*tanPDE/tanθ - tanPDE =0 which rearranges to
Fe*sinθ(1+ED/DC - tanPDE/tanθ) = tanPDE which rearranges to
Fe*sinθ = tanPDE/(1+ED/DC - tanPDE/tanθ)
all of which are known quantities for any arm position.
Once we know Fe * sinθ we can easily calculate Fs by substitution of the known value into eqn 4a.
As a reality check if the angle between the tangent to the curve at point E and the free body is 90 degrees then all the frictional force will be taken by this point and all other forces should fall to zero, so substituting a value of zero for sinθ should give Fe = 1, Fs = Fd +0 which it does so we shouldn't be too far from the truth.
For plausible values of the segments PD, DE and DC the range of skate force is from about 50% of Ff at the outer groove to under 20* at the inner groove. For reference, the skate force on a standard arm is around 45% of Ff.
We can therefore conclude that skate compensation is a requirement for this type of arm. The variation of skate force with position can make this difficult to achieve.

Note that the analysis says that if it were possible to make the curve at E so that the segment ED was always normal to the tangent, this would remove the need for antiskate. The only such curve is a circle (or section thereof) which would take us back to Birch geometry. No free lunch.

string driven tonearm
From a post here. I cannot read Japanese. We need a translator here!
Looks like the pivoting headshell is being rotated by the strings to correct for tangency. Clever.
Clearly the above tonearm works in the same concept as this mysterious arm.

Interesting and fine solution. The only problem I can see there is a skating force, gradually decreasing to 0 in the middle of record, and than changing direction to the opposite, and slowly increasing up to the record end. As a result, to construct proper compensation would be close to Mission Impossible. Good news is that stylus wear will be symmetrically equal.

Amazing Views, Accomdations and StaffPosted Jul 9, 2017
This hotel was amazing. The food was good, staff made my experience incredible - shout out to (Marilyn with security, Chef Mandel, My personal assistant Denise and Christa), I could not have asked for a better room and view. If your looking to relax and enjoy the marina and boats, this is hotel is for you. Not far from Rodney Bay (party scene) and Castries (capitol) but far enough for privacy. I recommend this hotel. My only con is the service fees for food.

Great hotel - need transport to the beachPosted May 27, 2017
The entire sitting is splendorous. The hotel is nicely built. The staff is superb. There is genuine interest in pleasing just about everyone in every sense. However the small sand beach next to it is only accessible via a small ferry. The property has two or three small pools that are well-designed, one of which includes a bar pool. All in all, a very enjoyable experience. Wished that we had a ready access to the sea. Other than that, nothing to regret.

The stay was really wonderful. The rooms were very clean and the service was topnotch all the way around. My only complaint is the food was very expensive. We were grateful to have a market nearby to get a breakfast items for our room to cook each morning. I don't mind staying in luxury hotels and paying premium prices but somehow I feel the food should be reasonably priced. Breakfast buffet for two was $80 without a tip. Outside of that, I can't say enough great things about the resort.

Great trip for our two part honeymoon. We got upgraded from our marine view room to a marine view suite. Service is excellent and people are genuinely interested in making sure you are having a great time and your needs are met. The beach was alright, although we spent much of our time by the pool and in the cabanas. We would definitely visit again! The grill by far has the best food and definitely have the coconut smoothie at bayside cafe.

Pros: Really liked the layout and view from the outside areas across the bay.
Cons: The main pool is beginning to look a little shabby in places and the promised complimentary coconuts did not always materialise.
Location: Very handy for the marina and a selection of cafes and bars to enjoy. Unfortunately you cannot see the full sunset without being on a boat in the bay.
The resort has excellent facilities and is well located overlooking the marina.

Time Schedule:
Amos Nascimento
Tacoma Campus
Examines idealism, pragmatism, and existentialism in historical context to discover ways in which they are responses to past ideas and ways in which they are new. Focuses on the way issues in philosophy remain the same even as ways of thinking about them change.
Class description
The TPHIL 360 course (History of Modern Philosophy) in the Spring quarter of 2014 focuses on the theme "Cosmopolitanism and Human Rights." The course is organized as a directed reading program that will involve international guest lecturers. Classes will be offered by Amos Nascimento and include international guests such as Matthias Lutz-Bachmann, Andreas Niederberger, Jim Tully, and other leading experts in the philosophy of cosmopolitanism and human rights. In April, students will read chapters of a new book written by these authors. Students will then discuss the chapters with their respective authors and participate in a special international seminar on "Cosmopolitanism, Human Rights, and Human Dignity" in late April 2014. In May, the focus will be on case studies related to the topics discussed.
Student learning goals
- read texts on Human Rights, Human Dignity, and Cosmopolitan Ideals - text will be provided.
- discuss how to be a "global citizen" today and learn about the most important modern and contemporary philosophers who have worked on this theme, including Immanuel Kant, Juergen Habermas, Martha Nussbaum, David Held, Seyla Benhabib, and Matthias Lutz-Bachmann.
- interact with students and scholars from the United States and Germany, who are working on this field and will visit UWT.
- have the unique opportunity to participate in an international event on "Human Rights, Human Dignity, and Cosmopolitan Ideals" to be held at the University of Washington in May 2014.
* Internships: A few opportunities for internship and directed readings or research will be available, if you are interested in helping to organize the international event planned for May 2014. Contact Dr. Amos Nascimento (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you are interested.
General method of instruction
Students will read one chapter per week, attend guest lectures, have a session to discuss the theme of the week and share their views on the subject.
Recommended preparation
There are no prerequisites. Previous course in Philosophy, Human Rights, Political Science, International Relations, European History, Environmental Studies or Global Studies is a plus.
Class assignments and grading
Participation in classes, presentation of periodic reports reflecting on readings and lectures, attendance of special event in April 2014, writing of a final paper or report reflecting on the topics discussed.
Grades will be based on participation (25%), reports (25%), event attendance (25%), final paper (25%).

March 21, 2011
Vic and Dave veered off the festival path for their last post from Austin, and had a real meal with dream pop professional and Texas local Lance Smith aka Pandit.
We met up with Lance as the sun was entering that transitional gold between day party and night event. Already far from downtown, the three of us wandered into a little Mexican restaurant after deciding that its barred windows offered some character. Our broken Spanish got us through ordering. Then Lance brought us on an Eternity Spin through Texas, creative process and beyond:
Being from Lumberton [a five hour drive east of Austin], had you been coming here before as a fan?
Last year was my first year. I actually had just talked to the label the week before, I was pretty nervous and didn't really see many shows; I just came to meet them. I wrote about two more songs after that, and they signed me. In this town I'm from, music isn't really relevant, it's all Bible Belt tradition you know. So to work with a label and get my stuff heard outside of here, I jumped at the chance.
Rachel Levy of Kiss Kiss Fantastic sent me your page last summer; I immediately shot you a message on Facebook, and ended up posting something on the blog. It was great to watch "Artichoke" take off, and then to see you wait after that, take your time, and craft this full album months later.
Yeah, exactly, it's been almost a year. It was supposed to be an EP, but then we turned it into an LP. It was getting to that point, it just seemed like a lot better way to go.
Your sound has evolved from some of the songs that first appeared on that page. Eternity Spin has a few distinct styles: strum-y emotional ones like "Pack Your Bags" and "Kodiak" and then more pulsing, upbeat tracks—it still works as an album. Is there a favored direction moving forward?
I think the new direction will be a little bit more semi-cohesive. Up to this point I've always written things that's not as much a concept as it is what I think sounds good. But I think with the 4th song on the record, "Kathryn, My Love"—it's a little bit more soulful in a way, with some balls to it, that's the type of style I'm looking forward to—more Motown meets dream pop meets 70s-ish rock stuff. I don't plan on taking on those types of vocal styles though, that would be impossible, I can't sing that way, but definitely looking at it instrumentally.
You're a good example of someone who is a modern "bedroom project" but also a person who people go to for production; I see your name come up a lot in other folk's credits and collaborations…
It's been nice. I don't care at all about the exposure side of that, I just love doing music, even if I never make a real name for myself, I just want to be in a position to help others reach that level.
You studied audio engineering, right?
Well I first got my BA in Political Science, that took about two and a half years, and I had planned to go on to law school but decided to do what I really wanted to do. I knew it was music, but didn't want to teach it, so it was audio engineering. Finished up almost two years ago, and now I'm making albums with friends, it's fun.
What were you doing musically before Pandit?
I was really into the folk movement that was going on for a few years, so my stuff sounded sort of like that. I was in and out of a band with some friends from high school, it was this political pop music in a way, and it just fell apart because we were all writers, and no one was really dedicated to giving their life to make music, you know. That's when I decided to do this on my own, and I'd been recording for 5 or 6 years beforehand too, so I just started piecing stuff together. It's amazing now, with the people I've met and experiences I've been able to have, and it's all due to people like y'all.
Had you been playing locally?
Yeah I've done some acoustic shows here and there, there's not many options where I live. It's a few miles outside of this little town called Beaumont; lots of famous jazz musicians came from there during the 60s and 70s, it was at one time thriving with music, but things slowed down years ago. It's picked up a little bit, but still pretty bad.
Do you think you'd leave where you live now for a more musical city?
Y'all are in Brooklyn right? I was there a few years ago working as a roadie for a band. It was great but when we crossed the bridge to Manhattan to play Bowery Ballroom, all these people were freaking out on us for blocking traffic… I didn't understand what was happening. I don't know, guess I just enjoy being able to walk out my backdoor and pee outside. I love people, but separation is a big for me, I like a place away from chaos. But at the same time, I should get out there and be involved with what's going on…
Playing this week, has your live setup changed since you started?
Definitely. I've always wanted to do something kind of "epic", but I didn't know how I'd do that just by myself. I always looked for people to come out and play but couldn't really get anything going consistently with a band. Luckily, my friend whipped up this setup for me; he's such a technical genius. It's crazy, but actually pretty easy to use. There's a lot going on from an electronic standpoint.
You mix the two really well [acoustic and electronic], which makes you somewhat hard to peg. Are you looping things?
Yeah, looping, using guitar, pedals…I do it to where it's all in front of me, but you can't really see what I'm doing. It keeps some mystery.
[Dave eats a pepper that was much hotter than expected] WOW, this interview may hit a wall here.
Haha, this is definitely authentic.

Are You Paying Sales Tax on Electricity?
Posted: June 11, 2009
Dairy farmers – and other farmers too – should not be paying Pennsylvania sales tax on electricity! However, I was totally surprised to see a number of electricity bills over the past few months when I visited farms where the full 6% of sales tax was being charged on the electricity bills. The bills where I saw the taxes were for farmers who are on commercial rates (as opposed to residential rates) for the dairy farms and poultry farms. Examine your electricity bills now! If you see a charge for "State Sales Tax", then you need to take action. But be sure that you do not confuse the "State Sales Tax" and the "State Tax Surcharge." You must pay the tax surcharge but not the sales tax. In some cases the tax surcharge is negative so then it provides a credit to your account.
For a farmer to receive exemption from state sales tax, he or she needs to provide a copy of the Tax Exemption Certificate to the utility company providing electricity. Check with your tax advisor to receive a copy of the certificate or down-load from http://www.revenue.state.pa.us/revenue/lib/revenue/rev-1220.pdf along with instructions for completing the form. (If you cannot download the form, then contact me and I will send a copy to you.) It appears to be rather easy to complete the form. If farmers have, let's say, a sales room, road-side market, or any commercial venture on the same electricity account as the farming operation, then the portion of the electricity used for farming purposes needs to be estimated to be listed as the exemption percentage.
When the utility company receives the completed Tax Exemption Certificate, then the company needs to change their records to match the exemption certificate. The company will then credit the two most recent amounts of sales tax collected and credit that amount on the next bill issued. Upon request, the company will prepare an affidavit for the farmer showing the amount of sales tax that was paid on this account for the past 36 months. The customer needs to submit the affidavit to the state in order to request a refund.
You are already encountering many expenses in your farming operation. Do not pay any sales tax on your consumption of electricity. But do not subtract the state sales tax from the amount due on your monthly bill. Pay the full amount and then take the required action as discussed above to be relieved of this tax responsibility!

Youth in Revolt: The Plague of State-Sponsored Violence
Posted on Mar 14, 2012
By Henry Giroux, Truthout
(Page 4)
Hyper-violence and spectacular representations of cruelty disrupt and block our ability to respond politically and ethically to the violence as it is actually happening on the ground. In this instance, unfamiliar violence such as extreme images of torture and death become banally familiar, while familiar violence that occurs daily is barely recognized relegated to the realm of the unnoticed and unnoticeable. How else to explain the public indifference to the violence waged by the state against nonviolent youthful protesters, who are rebelling against a society in which they have been excluded from any claim on hope, prosperity and democracy. As an increasing volume of violence is pumped into the culture, yesterday's spine-chilling and nerve-wrenching violence loses its shock value. As the need for more intense images of violence accumulates, the moral indifference and desensitization to violence grows while matters of cruelty and suffering are offered up as fodder for sports, entertainment, news media, and other outlets for seeking pleasure.
Marked by a virulent notion of hardness and aggressive masculinity, a culture of violence has become commonplace in a society in which pain, humiliation and abuse are condensed into digestible spectacles endlessly circulated through extreme sports, reality TV, video games, YouTube postings and proliferating forms of the new and old media. But the ideology of hardness and the economy of pleasure it justifies are also present in the material relations of power that have intensified since the Reagan presidency, when a shift in government policies first took place, and set the stage for the emergence of unchecked torture and state violence under the Bush-Cheney regime. Conservative and liberal politicians alike now spend millions waging wars around the globe, funding the largest military state in the world, providing huge tax benefits to the ultra-rich and major corporations and all the while draining public coffers, increasing the scale of human poverty and misery and eliminating all viable public spheres - whether they be the social state, public schools, public transportation, or any other aspect of a formative culture that addresses the needs of the common good. State violence, particularly the use of torture, abductions and targeted assassinations, are now justified as part of a state of exception that has become normalized. A "political culture of hyper punitiveness"(24) has become normalized and accelerates throughout the social order like a highly charged electric current. Democracy no longer leaves open the importance of an experience of the common good. As a mode of "failed sociality," the current version of market fundamentalism has turned the principles of democracy against itself, deforming both the language of freedom and justice that made equality a viable idea and political goal. State violence operating under the guise of personal safety and security, while parading species of democracy, cancels out democracy "as the incommensurable sharing of existence that makes the political possible."(25) Symptoms of ethical, political and economic impoverishment are all around us.
Meanwhile, exaggerated violence is accelerated in the larger society and now rules screen culture. The public pedagogy of entertainment includes extreme images of violence, human suffering and torture splashed across giant movie screens, some in 3D, offering viewers every imaginable portrayal of violent acts, each more shocking and brutal than the last. The growing taste for violence can be seen in the increasing modeling of public schools after prisons, the criminalization of behaviors such as homelessness that once were the object of social protections. A symptomatic example of the way in which violence has saturated everyday life can be seen in the growing acceptance of criminalizing the behavior of young people in public schools. Behaviors that were normally handled by teachers, guidance counselors and school administrators are now dealt with by the police and the criminal justice system. The consequences have been disastrous for young people. Not only do schools resemble the culture of prisons, but young children are being arrested and subjected to court appearances for behaviors that can only be termed as trivial. How else to explain the case of the five-year-old girl in Florida who was put in handcuffs and taken to the local jail because she had a temper tantrum; or the case of Alexa Gonzales in New York who was arrested for doodling on her desk. Even worse, a 13-year-old boy in a Maryland school was arrested for refusing to say the pledge of allegiance. There is more at work than stupidity and a flight from responsibility on the part of educators, parents and politicians who maintain these laws; there is also the growing sentiment that young people constitute a threat to adults and that the only way to deal with them is to subject them to mind-crushing punishment. Students being miseducated, criminalized and arrested through a form of penal pedagogy in prison-type schools provide a grim reminder of the degree to which the ethos of containment and punishment now creeps into spheres of everyday life that were largely immune in the past from this type of state violence. The governing through crime ethic also reminds us that we live in an era that breaks young people, corrupts the notion of justice and saturates the minute details of everyday life with the threat, if not reality, of violence. This mediaeval type of punishment inflicts pain on the psyche and the body of young people as part of a public spectacle. Even more disturbing is how the legacy of slavery informs this practice given that "Arrests and police interactions ... disproportionately affect low-income schools with large African-American and Latino populations,"(26) paving the way for them to move almost effortlessly through the school-to-prison pipeline. Surely, the next step will be a reality TV franchise in which millions tune in to watch young kids being handcuffed, arrested, tried in the courts and sent to juvenile detention centers. This is not merely barbarism parading as reform - it is also a blatant indicator of the degree to which sadism and the infatuation with violence have become normalized in a society that seems to take delight in dehumanizing itself.

A POPULAR Ramsbottom pub has won a top hospitality accolade.
The Railway, in Bridge Street, has been presented with the Certificate of Excellence award by TripAdvisor.
Now in its fourth year, the award celebrates hospitality excellence and is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor.

The accolade is given to businesses that have received praise and recognition, with at least an overall rating of four out of five.
Licensee Jotham Roberts said: "Most of the reviews praise not only our beer quality and the high standards of food, but how consistent it is - which I think is extremely important."

Jerusalem (Apr. 14)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency Mail Service)
The Government has decided to improve and enlarge the Haifa Quarantine Station. Four new buildings will be added. There will be a dining hall for 600 persons, a kitchen, a restaurant and a shop. A sum of £ E.3,000 has been assigned for these works which are to be commenced within the next few days. Arab and Jewish laborers will be employed.
Improvements will be made in the disinfection rooms. New furniture has been acquired for the immigrants waiting at the Quarantine House.
Commander Kenworthy raised the question of the Haifa Quarantine Station in the House of Commons a few weeks ago, complaining that it was situated in unhealthy surroundings and urging that instructions should be given for the improvement of the conditions in the station.

Bride Wars Style: Emma
In the film Bride Wars, both Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson's characters have wardrobes we're clamoring for. In this photo, Anne's on-screen persona Emma wears a navy dress with a coral silk band at the top (eerily similar to the Christoper Deane dress shown at right). Shop that and her beautiful gold bangle now.

Umgeni River Bird Park
Umgeni River Bird Park © Anya Klaassen
The Umgeni River Bird Park has had a dramatic history in recent years, closed down very reluctantly by its owners due to unprofitability, then rescued by the municipality after an uproar from the community. The park, tucked away near an industrial section of Durban North and the Umgeni River, houses an ever-growing collection of more than 800 birds and over 200 species of birds, all displayed along shady winding paths. The park is situated in lush tropical garden in what used to be an old quarry site; it was opened in 1984 after extensive landscaping. The park's free-flight bird show, which runs from Tuesday to Sunday at 11am and 2pm, has been entertaining families and school groups for over a decade, featuring vultures, owls, cranes, and other impressive fowl. The free-flight shows are also available on Mondays during South African school holidays but not outside of these dates. The birds included in the show change frequently and a visit to the park is hardly complete without seeing the free-flight show. There is also an undercover cafe in the heart of the park that offers refreshments and light meals. The park is accessible by bus, but the route is not in constant use.

HDPE is produced on state-of-the-art 3 layer extruders to 7.0 m and 8.0 m wide rolls to ISO 9001. The product is available in smooth ranging in thickness from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm, and textured ranging in thickness from 1 mm to 2.5 mm. The material is manufactured to strict specifications with all testing in accordance with ASTM and GSI standards.
- Mining: An HDPE geomembrane can prevent contamination of water and soil by providing a highly resistant barrier to chemicals produced during the extraction of precious metals.
- Landfills: Highly resistant to hazardous chemicals HDPE has long been the lining of choice for this application. Used as either primary or secondary containment/ caps with or without GCL.
- Irrigation Canals: To prevent water loss from seepage of water for man-made canals.
- Tanks: Steel and concrete tanks are easily lined to prevent seepage loss. Also used as secondary lining under tanks in the petrochemical industries.
- Hot Wedge Welding: The primary method for sealing HDPE is on-site by fusion using a portable hot wedge welder. The wedge melts the overlapped surfaces between pressure rollers. This produces a permanent homogeneous seam with an air channel which allows for pressure testing. During testing a successful weld is stronger than the material (the sample material will break before the weld peels apart).
- Extrusion Welding: This is used for all repairs and detail work such as pipe boots and protrusions. We use copper wire in our extrusion welds to reduce the possibility of defects for spark testing.
Although studies have proven that geomembrane failure is caused primarily during the covering stage from earth moving equipment, trucks, etc, an unacceptably high number (almost 20%) of failure is caused by poor workmanship during the welding stage.
We can provide geotechnical engineers to assist designers during any stage and to ensure all QA/QC is completed in accordance with specification as well as to monitor our own ISO 9001, 14001 Standards.
Permathene installation crews pay particular attention to detail and follow proven methods to ensure long-term success of the geomembrane liner. Foremost in any successful geomembrane installation is good design. Success of any lining system is dependent upon this.
Manufactured and tested to conform with GRI GM13.

Fuckin' A it's that time of the year again! I can't believe it's been a year already since the inaugural Winter Bulk Up series. Last year was a ton of fun and a lot of you guys got in on the action with us, and this time we're looking to do it even bigger.
Last year's bulk up was the traditional stuff-your-face style for both VK and I. We ended up packing on roughly twenty pounds each, with VK ending at 185 and me ending at 203. Additionally, both of us were doing high volume bodybuilding style programs. It was my first time trying something like this out, and after cutting down to 194 afterwards I couldn't complain- nearly 10 lbs of muscle gained in total.
However, this year I'm doing things differently. Size has taken a backseat to strength goals. I worked my ass off all summer and fall getting my Big 3 lifts up using my intermediate program, and the pay off was awesome. The feeling was awesome. At the peak of my training, right before that incredibly shitty, body destroying gastritis episode, I had maxed 475 on deadlift, 375 on squat, and 300 on bench- without using so much as chalk for any of them. That was the strongest I had ever been, and there didn't appear to be an end in sight. I hadn't encountered anything resembling a plateau and was still adding weight and/or reps every week. It was my destiny to hit 315 bench/405 squat/500 deadlift before the year's end, and then continue on to even heavier weight afterwards.
Unfortunately, that gastritis episode fucked me up hardcore, setting me back further than I thought was possible in a 2 1/2 week time frame. We're talking an average of 40 lbs lost from all 3 maxes, which was as mind blowing as it was frustrating. Full of rage that my destiny has been thwarted momentarily, I've returned to the gym with a fucking vengeance as if it was the equipment's fault I've been set back. In the month since that bullshit I have managed to *almost* reclaim my previous maxes (thank you muscle memory), with the exception of my deadlift, which absolutely blows right now.
So with that set-up, here is my Winter Bulk Up goal:
By the end of March 2014, I will, at the least, be able to bench 315, squat 405, and deadlift 500. This will be without straps, chalk, a belt, or anything like that.
My buddy Matt will be on hand to record each max for your viewing enjoyment. The final, compiled video will be scored with Revocation's "The Grip Tightens". It will be awesome.
Here are my numbers as of this week:
Bench- 285
Squat- 360
Deadlift- 420
Yes, I do realize my goals are arbitrary numbers and some people think that's silly. They can go fuck themselves on their favorite hip abductor machine.
I also realize I might be setting an impossibly high bar trying to reach those numbers in 3 months considering I'm not even back to where I was in September, and my only response to that is go big or go home.
This shit is my destiny.
The Game Plan:
My programming will continue to revolve around my intermediate program. That "program", which is hardly structured enough to be considered a program, is one of the main reasons I am even able to set goals like this. Its combination of high-rep and low-rep days and overall frequency and volume seems to be exactly what my body responds to.
My diet will continue to be Chaos and Pain's Apex Predator Diet, which I have detailed and provided tons of links for in The Summer Cut Down and The Apex Predator Diet Revisited.
While size is secondary for me this winter, I figured I'd throw up some before and after pics for fun and friendly competition:
I'm 193 at the moment. Still 6′ 3″. And carrying a lot of water weight thanks to Taze-3, that most kick ass of pre-workouts. Shit, I might end up crossing that lean 200 lb line during all this.
VK has his own goals and game plan that he'll be detailing soon, and while I can't tell you what it is I can say they are equally as ambitious. This should be a great time.
Just like last year, we'll be keeping you guys updated as the winter slogs on. Anyone who wants to join in with their own goals and programs, by all means get in on this!

Is an Upset Brewing in Colorado Senate Race?
Sen. Michael Bennet has reason to worry.
The Colorado Democrat is now running nearly even against primary foe, former House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, who has turned a 17-point gap in June to a three-point advantage in the latest polling ahead of next Tuesday's primary.
Romanoff is now leading Bennet 48%-45%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted for the Denver Post. It's the first time Romanoff has polled ahead of the senator. The poll's margin of error is 4.3 percentage points.
Romanoff has run a grassroots campaign on limited budget. He recently sold his own home and used up his savings to lend his campaign $325,000. Bennet was appointed to the Senate only two years ago, but Romanoff has run as the outsider in the race and has attacked Bennet for ties to Wall Street. The senator, in turn, has accused Romanoff of taking the low road and running false ads.
It's also not a great year to be an incumbent senator with a serious primary challenger. If Bennet loses, he will be the third senator to lose an intra-party contest this year after Utah Republican Sen. Bob Bennett and Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter.

More details have emerged about how acting Met chief Sir Paul Stephenson kept Boris Johnson in the loop about the Damian Green arrest. The Standard quotes an unnamed but reliable-sounding City Hall source confirming that the mayor "needs convincing" the operation was justified and giving details of how he was informed:
It was revealed that Sir Paul called the Mayor to tell him an MP was going to be arrested at 10am last Thursday, then rang back at 1.20pm to say that the MP was Damian Green. The shadow immigration minister was arrested 40 minutes later.
There's nothing odd or unusual about this: briefing the London mayor about politically-sensitive operations, either before or during them, has always been an area where the Met has exercised discretion. Yet it does seem a little odd that Sir Paul Stephenson saw fit to let Johnson in on the secret but not Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.
Why did he thus favour one and not the other? Did it reflect a perception on his part that the principle of operational independence - the one Smith cited when defending herself on the Andrew Marr programme yesterday - was best served by keeping his government boss in the dark, given that Green is an opposition spokesman and a fellow parliamentarian of Smith?
Might Stephenson's awareness of what Johnson did to Sir Ian Blair have made him the more eager to keep the mayor up to speed with important goings-on, not least because he is - or maybe, alas, was - considered a front-runner to be Blair's successor? Or was his differential treatment of his two bosses just the result of some sort of protocol confusion or other muddle?
Assuming Sir Paul has applied to succeed Sir Ian and gets as far as an interview, I think I'd want to hear his explanation were I on the panel. Meanwhile, the Standard seems to be rooting for Sir Hugh Orde. The Northern Ireland chief constable declined to be drawn on the subject of the Met when speaking to the World This Weekend yesterday. We'll know soon enough if he's a contender - the deadline for applications passed at noon.
Update, 16.28: Looks like Sir Paul has indeed applied for the top job along with his Met colleague Bob Quick. Guardian report here.
Update, 17:19: The Belfast Telegraph predicts that Orde's helmet is the ring. Report here.

Reduce Heart Disease Risk with a Plant-based Diet
by Tandis Bishop, RDN, LD, CDE
February is American Heart Month, so it is fitting that we take a moment to consider the impact of heart disease on society and our personal health.

February is American Heart Month, so it is fitting that we take a moment to consider the impact of heart disease on society and our personal health.
Almost half of adults set New Year's resolutions to improve their health, only to abandon them by the end of the first month—not to speak of staying on track for six months or longer—according the University of Pennsylvania research. We mean well, we just have difficulty figuring it out.
This upcoming Thanksgiving holiday is a great reminder to count our blessings. One way to do this is to take 15 minutes out of the year and meditate on Gratitude. This is becoming an increasingly important topic in the mainstream healthcare and yoga communities. For good reason. Feeling and expressing gratitude can have a profound effect on your life—especially if you do it on a daily basis, all year round.

"A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take."
—Cardinal Mermillod
Mother's Day is Sunday, May 8th!
Every mother deserve a huge and heartfelt thank you for their selfless love, hard work and guidance, and all the under-appreciated and unseen sacrifices that come along with motherhood. Even if it is a small gesture, take the time to let your mother know that you appreciate her.

A plant-based diet is well recognized as a health-promoting, disease-fighting eating style for both the mainstream and the health, wellness and medical communities. Many famed leaders of the past and present have embraced a plant-based diet for optimum health and wellness. In recognition of Women's History Month, we would like to highlight a few influential women from the past and present whose achievements have inspired many and who have also chosen a healthy and ethical style of eating.

In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared February as American Heart Month in order to increase awareness and research of heart disease. That same year, U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry released a report about the health risks of smoking, a key risk factor of heart disease.1 These actions combined marked a turning point in the fight against this widespread condition and, in years since, rates of cardiovascular disease have steadily declined.

Caring for the Community with Chocolate Relief
Caring for the Community with Chocolate Relief
She's Historic Community Chocolate Bus, aka The Chocolate Bus, has become synomonus with the community and revival of Christchurch since its introduction to the City in September 2010. Its arrival coincided with the very first earthquake to hit the city.
The 1948 Leyland Titan, described as an RTL 68 carries a very simple message 'Inspiring Your Love of Life", which is displayed on the side of the bus.
She Universe (formerly She Chocolat) is now seeking the help of the Community of Christchurch and the wider community to restore the bus.
A Pledge Me campaign has been launched seeking to raise $50,000 to help install a new engine and gear box and also to help carry out much needed restorative body work. Every dollar beyond $25,000 will go towards doing restorative work and to support a number of new community initiatives planned.
Post quakes the Chocolate Bus continues to support and work with many cross sections of the community. Fundraisers, Schools and even rest homes have enjoyed the experience of the Chocolate Bus. Supporting and caring for the people of Christchurch City has been its primary focus. It has grown into a much loved Icon of the City and we hope will be an iconic ambassador for the city into the future.
Once restored the bus will continue and expand its activities through Chocolate Relief to support the Christchurch Communities. With a fully functioning reconditioned engine, the bus will be of service to all of New Zealand and be dedicated to awakening the hearts and spirits of New Zealand.
To donate to the campaign go to www.pledgeme.co.nz/projects/1055 or visit the She Universe website on www.sheuniverse.com

Stephen J. Morewitz
CSUEB lecturer to present new research on endangered teen runaways
- July 30, 2012 5:00am
CSUEB Nursing and Health Sciences Lecturer Stephen J. Morewitz will present a research poster on endangered teenage runaways at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Criminology (ASC) in Chicago Nov. 15.
In his research, "Endangered Runaways: Peer Influence vs. Adult Influence," Morewitz evaluated the extent to which adult influence is a risk factor for children and adolescents becoming endangered runaways. Based on a random sample of 995 missing-persons reports that were filed between 1991 and 2011 and published in the North American Missing Persons Network and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children websites, this study found that endangered runaways (10.89%) were less likely than other missing persons (23.7%) to travel with adults suggesting that peer influence may be more important than adult influence among endangered youth who run away from home.
California State University, East Bay is the San Francisco East Bay Area's high-access public university of choice. CSUEB serves the region with campuses in Hayward and Concord, a professional development center in Oakland, and an innovative online campus.

C. acetobutylicum is an anaerobic bacterium that produces acetic and butyric acids, hydrogen gas, and carbon dioxide during the exponential phase of growth. When the culture pH is allowed to remain near 4.5, the metabolism switches to the production of the neutral compounds (solvents) - acetone, n-butanol, and ethanol. The two metabolic phases are known as the acidogenic and solventogenic phases. The enzyme hydrogenase plays an important role in this bacterium because it converts excess reducing power into hydrogen gas to maintain a balance in the oxidation-reduction state in the cell. During solventogenesis, additional reducing power is used in the production of n-butanol and ethanol, which leaves excess reducing power to be vented as hydrogen gas. There are conflicting reports about the level of hydrogenase in acidogenic and solventogenic cells. There is also evidence that hydrogenase may consume too much reducing power during solventogenensis that it actually decreases the celląs capacity to produce solvents. The purpose of this study was to examine the level of hydrogenase in acidogenic and solventogenic cells and to search for clues that may indicate the presence of multiple forms of hydrogenase in C. acetobutylicum. Both the hydrogen-oxidation (uptake) and the hydrogen-production (evolution) activities were measured in this study. The level of hydrogenase was found higher in acidogenic cells than in solventogenic cells, but there was no difference in the molecular weight of hydrogenase from these two types of cells. A significant increase in the ratio of the hydrogen-uptake over the hydrogen-evolution activity was observed in oxygen or heat-treated cell extracts and in hydrogenase partially purified on a DEAE-cellulose column. The results suggest the presence of more than one type of hydrogenase in this species or hydrogenase activities in the two directions may be differentially altered. These possibilities will be investigated in a future study.

What is in this article?:
- American Manufacturing Needs an Updated High Tech Trade Agreement
- Expanded Agreement Benefits IT Products
While the The Information Technology Agreement played a critical role in promoting IT trade and investment, which in turn has driven innovation, boosted productivity, increased employment, and accelerated U.S. industrial growth, the product scope needs to be expanded.
The Information Technology Agreement (ITA), which eliminates tariffs on trade across a wide range of information technology (IT) products, has been one of the most commercially successful trade agreements ever undertaken—for the global economy and for American industry.
From 1996 to 2008, total global trade in IT products increased by more than 10% annually, from $1.2 trillion to $4.0 trillion, which is at least partially due to the liberalization of IT trade.
Moreover, the ITA has empowered the formation of efficient, global supply chains which have enabled a shift from a closed, linear innovation model to an open innovation model that relies on close collaboration among suppliers, network partners, and customers to bring breakthrough, next-generation IT products to market.
In short, the ITA has played a critical role in promoting IT trade and investment, which in turn has driven innovation, boosted productivity, increased employment, and accelerated U.S. industrial growth.
Yet despite these positive results and the fact that significant IT transformation has occurred since the ITA first took effect in 1996, the product scope of the agreement has not been expanded.
Over the past 18 years, technology developments have spawned the creation of hundreds of innovative new products, from GPS systems and flat panel displays to an entirely new class of semiconductor chips—multi-component semiconductors or MCOs—that have become ever-more significant components of the global IT trade. In addition, the initial ITA agreement did not cover many products, including dynamic random access memory chips (DRAMs), audio speakers, and DVD players, which also need to be brought under IT coverage.
To enable the ITA to catch up with the rapid pace of technological development, the United States has taken the lead in attempting to craft an expanded ITA agreement that would increase the product coverage of the ITA, expanding the overall "tariff-free" global market for trade in IT products.
Despite the claims made by some isolationists (both in the United States and other nations), to the contrary the expansion would in fact produce many specific positive impacts for U.S manufacturers.
As ITIF argues in Boosting Exports, Jobs, and Economic Growth by Expanding the ITA ITA expansion would provide three primary and a variety of ancillary benefits for the United States.
First, foreign tariff removal on an expanded set of IT products will boost U.S. exports of IT goods and create U.S. jobs. In fact, ITIF estimates an expanded agreement could increase U.S. exports of IT products by $2.8 billion and support the creation of approximately 60,000 U.S. jobs.
Second, as central players in the global IT supply chain that collectively account for one-quarter of the global IT industry, leading U.S. IT goods companies, IT services companies, and the component manufacturers that supply these firms could see revenue increases of approximately $10 billion thanks to an expanded ITA.
Third, expansion would reduce costs and increase productivity for a range of industries, from automotive manufacturing to medical devices, which depend on IT components and inputs, some of which are imported. Finally, U.S. leadership in promoting ITA product expansion will further bolster the United States' position as a leading advocate of greater global multilateral trade liberalization at a time when some actors around the world are implementing protectionist policies at an alarming rate.
