Today I purchased a new mouse, your Wireless Mouse M310. Your heavy-duty scroll wheel is sure to endure the excessive use that comes from patrolling 150 blogs a day, unlike the dinky scroll wheel on my Apple mouse which appears to only excel at looking cool.
Also, you purport the M310 to have a 12-month battery life which is great because I hate changing batteries. I don't know why I hate changing batteries and will admit it's an odd thing to feel so fervently about, but I do.
I am totally cool with your "hip" urban design of black plastic featuring a scrollwork design that is already outdated. It would not be my first pick, but it was the only option in its size and hey, everyone's late to the game sometimes, so I won't hold the graphic against you. To be honest, I think it's still kind of cool and the last thing I ever want to be is a design snob (except about the font Papyrus).
But the real cherry on top of this purchase is the "easy-open" perforations on the back of the plastic clamshell packaging. Because more than I hate changing batteries, I hate opening effing clamshell packaging. It always results in some sort of bodily injury and frustration similar to my attempts to play sports. So thank you. Please now consider me a fan. Go Team Logitech.

Dannii Minogue speaks of closeness with Cheryl Cole and her support during tough times on X Factor
Ever since Cheryl Cole took over from Sharon Osbourne on the X Factor two years ago, reports of rivalry between Dannii Minogue and Cheryl on the ITV1 show have been rife.
And despite the pair battling against one another in the competition with their acts in the show's upcoming final; Dannii's Matt Cardle against Cheryl's Cher Lloyd and Rebecca Ferguson, the 35-year-old Aussie star has admitted that she and the 27-year-old Promise This singer have become closer than ever this year.
Speaking to Marie Claire, the mother-of-one said:
"Cheryl's always been there for me when I've had a hard time."
And although none of the judges have much spare time to socialise together, she continued:
"Cheryl said to me the other day, 'I don't know how you're doing all this. I know how crazy it is when all the contestants are running in and out and I have no make-up on.
"And then I think of you trying to fit in feeding the baby as well."
Dannii also said that she'd love to see Cheryl in a dress from her new clothing range with business partner Tabitha Somerset Webb called Project D, adding:
"I'd definitely like to see her in a Project D dress - I have a hummingbird one I think would look gorgeous on her and I'd love to see Rebecca [Ferguson] in one of our looks."
Meanwhile, following reports that Cheryl is set to judge on the US version of the X Factor with music mogul and fellow judge Simon Cowell, friend and dancer Derek Hough is said to be ecstatic that she will be living in near him in LA.
The pair have never confirmed a romantic relationship, but Cheryl recently flew over to the Sunshine State and met up with the Dancing With The Stars performer.
His stepfather Aaron Nelson has since told The Sun:
"Cheryl is looking at moving over here, which will be good for Derek. I'm not sure exactly what they have decided about living together. It's his business.
"When things got difficult for Cheryl, she came over to be with him. Derek's pretty level-headed most of the time. He's a good guy. He's always been a good guy and he's very supportive.
"She feels indebted to him - all to do with the fact that he is kind to her. He supports her, but that is Derek's nature. He's a cheerleader for her. He just wants to see her do well."
He added:
"Derek knows what's been going on. [Cheryl] came over to see him a few weeks ago. I can say that when you love someone you want to be around them and that's why he likes her."
The US X Factor is set to start in the spring.

Exclusive: Our Q&A with midfielder Aodhan Quinn
Former Louisville City midfielder and captain Aodhan Quinn made his move to FC Cincinnati this season. Quinn played his collegiate ball at both Bradley University and the University of Akron. He also played on the Seattle Sounders U-23 team. Now, 25, the midfielder has been excellent for the second year club, FC Cincinnati.
Quinn took some time, which we were very grateful for, and answered some of our questions.
Was being the 52nd pick in the MLS draft one of the most exciting aspects of your soccer career?
Quinn: It was an awesome feeling. Being able to realize a dream that I always had was fantastic but it was also just the start of an exciting journey which I think I was more excited about.
We know you came over from Louisville City, is there anything extra about the rivalry to you?
It became a big rivalry last year because of how well both teams did and were fighting to be in the best position possible in the table. Obviously, this year with Kadeem and I coming this way and Luke going that way, it has made it a bit more exciting. I enjoy playing them because I have a lot of close friends on the team so I always want to beat them, but as far as Louisville treated me when I was there and since I have come here has been nothing but the utmost class so that doesn't go unnoticed to me.
After missing the opening PK against the Fire, what was going through your head as you went back with your teammates? Did you still have faith in your team to pull the upset off?
I was disappointed because I felt I let the team down. I know it's part of the game so that will happen, but I expect to always score my penalties and was disappointed with that. But, I had all the faith in Mitch and the other guys that they would bail me out and they did which made for an incredible night.
Did making both PK's against Richmond renew your confidence moving forward or was it never lost?
I was happy I was able to redeem myself quickly, but most importantly help the team lock that game up and get the 3 points. As far as my confidence, it wasn't lost. I know what I'm capable of and know how hard I've worked so I have great belief in myself.
You're listed as a midfielder but have also played some winger. Has midfielder always been one of your favorite positions?
I've always been a center mid ever since I could remember. I played a little bit outside forward when I first got to Akron but that was more of just adjusting to the type of football we played at Akron. I use to be more of an attacking mid, but as I grew in the game I've been moved to more of a box to box midfielder or defensive midfielder. I enjoy playing in the middle because I like getting on the ball and trying to dictate the game.
Which do you prefer: cheeseburger or pizza?
Tough one... I'll say a good cheeseburger!
We thanked Aodhan for his time and wish him the best with his time at FC Cincinnati!

There are several reasons why we established our No-Meaness Policy. We learned quickly that kids aren't born angels. No one is born angels. We also saw that a little leaven, leavens the whole lump. If we do not address wrong behavior, it will spread like cancer, killing everything wonderful about our school. We learned that red flags can't be ignored. Kids need help in the area of kindness.

Fans of the current decade of Nickelodeon programming have a soft spot for Victorious, the 2010 sitcom produced by Dan Schneider (The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101) that starred Victoria Justice and introduced the world to Ariana Grande. The show ran for four seasons and was cancelled in 2013, but many fans holding out for a reunion despite hints of a feud between Justice and Grande.
But for this reunion at Ari's 23rd birthday party, Victorious stars Daniella Monet, Matt Bennett, Leon Thomas III, and Avan Jogia all got together and took an adorable selfie that had the Internet in a tizzy. Peep the shot below:

Black Jetts- Bleed Me CD. Remember those days when Rock & Roll ran through the veins of the bands that played it. Well you don't have to remember those days any more thanks to Rock N Roll heathens the Black Jetts. Situated deep below the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas strip, lie these 4 mopped top rockers. These fellas have been around for a few years now creating quite a commotion in and around Sin City. With the undaunting drive the Black Jetts had to create the epic debut, 'Bleed Me' offers 11 killer rippers including a cool cover of the Who's 'Leavin Here'. In 2 seperate recording sessions the Black Jetts definately captured something. You can just hear a band totally busting at the seems playing their hearts out for only a few mics and an 8 track recorder.
You can really hear something fresh in these 11 tracks. First and foremost originality, but on top of that these songs really have soul. In the same way that many people say that Thunders spoke with his guitar without saying a word, the Black Jetts exude that same raw, energetic intensity. Just check out songs like 'Rehab Love', 'Cheap Date' and the incredibly moody 'Hangin' Around.' They just exude heart and soul rock n roll that you can feel. And the Black Jetts are definately one of the better bands out there playing that stripped down n dirty early Detroit style rock n roll with a Heartbreakers injection. An aweseome debut.

Why me??
By Big Mama Cass Closed
Categories: Moved from MySpace and Pregnant Woes and Yays
I read somewhere once that the human body requires an average of 7 hours of sleep for the brain to operate at its highest capacity. So now taking into consideration that the average person only uses something like 10-13% of their brain, it is assumed that with a full nights rest that you are using at least 10%.
Now it makes me wonder. If I am in fact literally 2 people right now, myself and the little person in my belly making me vomit every 20 minutes, then am I to assume that I now require 14 hours of sleep? 7 for myself and 7 for the baby?
This is why I ask… I am sleeping about 9 hours each night and even taking several naps during the day. However I am guessing that I am using more like 3% of my brain right now. Because half the time I have no frickin idea what the hell is going on. I am forgetting the most mundane of tasks and feeling like a complete moron.
I kid you not that on more than one occasion I have arrived at work only to realize that I somehow forgot to either brush my teeth or put on deodorant! Ya wanna talk about a pain in the butt! Thank goodness I carry those necessitys in my car.
How would I explain THAT to my boss??
"umm yah i need to go back home cause i forgot to brush my teeth"
"yeah i know that it is a 40 minute drive one way"
I mean REALLY!??! AHH! I would fire me! Wouldn't you? How am I to get all of the rest that my body is now requesting of me and yet still carry on with day to day life?
Here it is a Saturday, it isn't even noon and I am already ready to go back to bed and start a new day tomorrow. And now to add to the fun of walking around like a zombie complete with puke fests and irritability I am having these fun little dizzy spells. I feel like I am drunk or high or hung over or ill or all of the above. Talk about scary. I can't even stand up!
So I go to the dr in a panic thinking something is wrong with me and they proceed to tell me that it is perfectly normal and I am perfectly healthy.
Ok don't misunderstand, you have NO idea how happy I am that we are finally going to have a baby. I just feel like I must have been an axe murderer in my last life or something!! SHEESH. What the hell am I being punished for???
Ok… well I feel a little better after my bitch fest. A little.
Any ideas on how I can make this run smoother, I would REALLY appreciate it.
Ok… back to bed… at least for a few minutes…

What the latest Microsoft Learning program changes mean for IT pros
A revamped design for the MS Learning site gives IT pros a look at some potential changes coming to certs -- new and old.
Microsoft updated its Microsoft Learning pages, which cover training and certification topics -- a possible sign of more changes to come. Some of changes are predictable -- moving to a Modern UI tile style and layout; others are more subtle -- reorganizing certifications by category and the renewed use of Microsoft Certified Professional terminology.
The new roadmap appears to be a housekeeping effort to remove mention of passé credentials and to focus on what's current and continuing into the future.
The new homepage for the Microsoft (MS) Learning program also breaks up training and certification content into a series of categories, including a collection of recent posts from the Born to Learn blog, which is a great source of training information. There's also a listing of top computer certifications that surprisingly includes the older and fading Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP), along with newer certifications such as the Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert, Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate and Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD).
Windows pros can also expect to see a quote about computer certification benefits that regularly changes and a list area about what's popular now. It appears as though MS Learning is adopting a more social and convivial approach to training and certification that lets users drive topics and content onto the page.
What the changes to Microsoft Learning program training pages mean
When you follow the link behind the "Find Training" tile on the MS Learning homepage, the same categories appear, but a number of topics have been added to three of them:
- The Server category gains entries for Virtualization, Cloud and Systems Center.
- The Application category gains an entry for Microsoft Dynamics.
- The Developer pages gain entries for Visual Studio, Windows Azure and Windows Phone.
MS Learning is targeting specific platforms or technology areas of great interest to training buyers in a number of certifications to some extent or in areas where MS sells an important platform -- namely, Microsoft Dynamics -- for which the company offers no certifications yet.
What's missing from the Microsoft Learning roadmap?
Sometimes the missing pieces of the Microsoft Learning program visualizations are as important as what's included. From looking over this latest roadmap, the older Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist and MCITP credentials, most of which are retired or scheduled to retire, are missing. (There are some exceptions noted in the Certification Topics section.) Likewise, the recently retired Master and Architect level certs, which were pulled out of circulation at the end of 2013, are also absent. The new roadmap appears to be a housekeeping effort to remove mentions of passé credentials and to focus on what's current and continuing into the future.
Based on what's apparent in the new structure and organization, I'll also speculate that Microsoft is bringing its application credentials based on Office, Office 365 and Microsoft Dynamics into closer sync with its other certifications. I wouldn't be surprised to see Dynamics certifications appear in 2014 or 2015 as the company dives deeper into its popular line of business offerings. I also expect more credentials for Windows Phone, perhaps an MCSD of some kind, if the company maintains its investment in and focus on that platform.
Higher-ups in MS Learning have also indicated that Master- and Architect-level credentials may not be off the table forever. That status may change if the company can figure out a way to offer such senior certs at more reasonable prices and with broader appeal than earlier offerings.

Patches being used more and more in the NFL
Brendon Ayanbadejo (top) Obafemi Ayanbadejo (bottom picture).
My name is Obafemi Ayanbadejo and my brother and I both play football in the NFL. I'm a fullback for the Arizona Cardinals and this is my 9th year in the NFL. I was on the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens in 2000. My brother, Brendon, is a linebacker for the Chicago Bears, and is in his third year in the NFL.My former coach, Greg Smith, gave us the patches before spring training and we have been wearing them ever since. I work out extremely hard and really know and understand my physical abilities and I noticed an increase in my endurance and ran the best splits I have ever run. I also noticed an increase in overall cardio and basically, the patches just allow me to run more and run longer.Brendon says " I like wearing the patches, especially on game day, because I love the feeling of the energy surge I get".
Nick Job - European Golf Professional
and user of the LifeWave Energy Enhancer
As a full time playing professional on the European Seniors Tour, I am continually working on my game both technically and mentally. This summer I was introduced to the LifeWave Energy patches. The results seem to be extraordinary â the first week that I wore them I finished second in the tournament and the following week I won the tournament! I felt totally in control of the situation and as well as feeling quietly energised (they do not give you a buzz!) I was able to think clearly and calmly and handle the pressures that tournament golf puts you under. When I have won in the past I have always found the post-tournament prize-giving and TV interviews somewhat nerve-wracking but this time I found myself handling it all far more easily.
The hectic schedule of the Seniors Tour would in the past have left me flat and exhausted and struggling to be competitive in the last few tournaments of the season. This year I am still raring to go and can only attribute my enhanced levels of energy to the patches.
LifeWave has received clearance from the NCAA to be used in collegiate sports. We are excited to announce that we have now received clearance from the Georgia High School Association, as well, for high schools in the State of Georgia. Georgia is the first state in the country to be approached and they immediately saw LifeWaves potential to make a difference in our kids lives.
"The patches helped me make a difference for someone affected by HIV-AIDS."
In early June I cycled 585 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles for the California Aids Life Cycle to raise funds and help improve lives of people affected by HIV/AIDS. The ride turned out to be very enjoyable and a great success, and I attribute much of it to the use of the energy patches. I noticed a significant increase in my average miles per hour, in my strength (especially going up hills), and in my endurance. To top off the experience, even after riding an average of about 85 miles per day, I had plenty of energy left in the evenings to enjoy the rest of the day's events.
THANK YOU for helping me make this event a great success, and for helping me make a difference!Aurelio (Leo) Ramos, San Diego, CA

Kazuko Ikeda and Rhonda Smith Sanchez show off their patchesat the North Pole! Great going - another LifeWave first.
Rhonda Smith Sanchez, 5x Overall World Champion Windsurfer, and Kazuko Ikeda, Olympic Alpine skier, both took themselves way out of their comfort zone this past month. With temperatures and wind-chill factors that drained their body's beyond any elite level performances previously experienced, they counted on the patches to give them the boost to fully experience what is feels like to literally be on top of the World.
The expedition was a month long trip complete with dog sledding and trekking all capped off with being welcomed into the very illusive club to summit the globe. "The patches are like our US postal service, rain sleet or snow, they always deliver !", said Sanchez on her return to her tropical home in Maui. Ikeda echoed Sanchez's sentiments saying, " as my mind hits the wall, I can always count on that extra energy tank that only the patches can produce."
Excellence is a habit that can be learned in pursuing the details of squeezing every ounce performance from ones body and LifeWave enhances our capacity on a quantifiable level, bottom line, they work on every athlete we have tested them on.
LifeWave Energy Patches: An Asset To A Retired But Active Major League Pitcher!
I wish the LifeWave Energy Enhancer Patches were around when I pitched for the New York Yankees. Can you imagine what my record would have been? My professional baseball pitching career ended because of lower back problems. I'm presently a Pitching Coach for the Baltimore Orioles and have to condition myself to maintain this position.
My son, who's a personal trainer, sent me some LifeWave Energy Patches which I began to use when I run 4 days a week and cycle on the other days. What I noticed is that I have more endurance, my time increases, and more stamina while running, cycling, and even when I pitch.
I had rotator cuff surgery 6 years ago, and since using the LifeWave Energy Patches, I can throw more pitches without as much soreness the next day. LifeWave is a safer, natural performance, enhancing approach to improving athletic ability without using other drugs and stimulants. I believe LifeWave would be a contribution to baseball.
Larry McCall, a former pitcher for the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers is now a Pitching Coach in the Baltimore Orioles Organization.
Editor's Note: Larry pitched in the major's for Texas and the New York Yankees.He played in the minors with New York, Baltimore, Cleveland, Toronto, and Texas.
Professional Kiteboarder,Laurel Eastman
This year 2005 World Cup Kiteboarding Championship will be as exciting as ever, with the speed, jumps, turns and aerial acrobatics that you would expect to see from this amazing extreme sport.
What is Kiteboarding you ask? Kiteboarding or Kitesurfing is a relatively new form of surfing that combines wakeboarding with parasail style gigantic kites. If you have been to a southern beach in the last year or so, you have probably noticed the bright, colorful kites flying over the ocean surface with a person attached to the 20 something meter kite lines. Kiteboarding evolved through mans primal need to do something completely outrageous and use the earths natural energy to power him/her, or should we say empower him/her.
Team Leaders Kevin Seaman and Donna Feeley are bringing the LifeWave Patches to The 2005 World Cup Kiteboarding Championship in Cabarete, Dominican Republic June 20-26, and they will be supplying the athletes with a different kind of POWER. LifeWave Power!
The two independent distributors are representing LifeWave as exclusive sponsors for the international event. âI think LifeWave is an absolutely outstanding technology and we are very excited to introduce the Energy Patch at the 2005 World Cupâ, Seaman commented. Through his critically acclaimed Winning Mind Set Strategies, Seaman has helped thousands of athletes find the mental edge to unlock the power of their mind in competition and personal performance with The Winning Mind Set, which he teaches as a credit course at Cornell University.
Now, he is integrating the extraordinary qualities of the LifeWave Patch to unlock athletic performance potential at a new level. Click here for more information on the 2005 World Cup
Energy Boost for Mom!
I did cartwheels with my 6 year old Rachel after putting on the patches. We were so happy and proud because this is the first time I have had energy to do that since having children 10 years ago. What a blessing!

... "ease of use & effectiveness"
Within the first two weeks of using the LifeWave Patches, I noticed a significantly positive increase in my cardiovascular abilities. The ease of use and effectiveness are the two characteristics that have created my confidence in this product. As a test of my own, I tried the patches on a few of my Black Belts. After an hour and a half of strenuous workout, each student did his/her maximum amount of pushups, applied the patches and waited three minutes, then continued pushups and 4/5 students were able to complete more than 10% more pushups. Another test consisted of one of my Instructor's wearing the patches during an Aerobic Kickboxing class. After this 800 calorie workout, the Instructor felt as though he could teach another Aerobic Kickboxing class.
My own experience consisted of my workout during a Black Belt Class. During an hour of sparring I was able to maintain my physical exertion at the same level as I began the class with.Looking over at the other Instructors and students in the class, I noticed that everyone was winded and their energy level was decreasing. I felt that the patches aided me in my cardiovascular output and in my body's recovery time between opponents.
This result was very impressive to me and reflecting upon my experience and my students' experiences with the product; I feel confident about the effects and look forward to sharing this with others in the future.Brian D.

Courtney Zablocki Patches Up for 2006 Olympics!
My name is Courtney Zablocki and I'm a member of the US National Luge Team and 2002 Olympic Team Member. My chiropractor introduced me to the patches a few weeks ago and although I was skeptical, I gave the patches a shot.
To give you a brief history about my luge career, I've been competing for 13 years and have had several injuries including a bulged disk that hasn't stopped bugging me for four years. When I wore the patches I didn't really feel a difference but, it was the 4th day when I wasn't wearing the patches that I noticed a huge difference. I couldn't believe the change I felt in my body with my improved energy. I was so surprised that I thought it was just a coincidence that I had felt so great. So, I tried the patches for another three days and I was able to tell that the patches gave me more of a boost!
I can do back extensions and yoga moves wearing the patches that I have never been able to do before now! I will continue to use the patches and I know they will help me make the next Olympic Team in 2006. I am now a true believer and a distributor. Courtney Zablocki
Track Star Achieves New Personal Best
Brianna Willis is a freshman in high school, soccer player and newly introduced to track. She runs the 400 meter dash and the 4 by 400 relay. She competed in the league preliminaries with patches on her chest and finished 1st in her heat and 1st out of 23 girls total all heats. Making a new PR (personal record) I have attached an email sent by her running coach today.
"A BIG breakthrough for Brianna...63.01...top qualifying time going into finals...her hard work has now paid some dividends. Brianna has not dogged a workout all season. I was especially pleased with how she fought down the stretch and ran down the girl from Mission." Coach Kelly

A Real Life Experience with Mark "Tiny" Meeker
"When Mark Harris told me about the LifeWave patches, I scheduled a meeting at the gym to see results for myself. I wanted to push the product to the limit, which I did. I did bench presses and worked up to 855lbs (the limit the bar would hold) and did tWO sets of singles while wearing my lifting shirt. I was surprised with the ease of these two lifts. I usually leave the gym after lifting this kind of weight but had so much energy I decided to stay and work out more. I then did a workout (without shirt) of 20 reps of 315lbs.which is a workout in itself. Still having energy, I did another workout of 5 sets of 5 reps using 100lb bands (board presses, no shirt) fist three sets 405 lbs on bar, next set 495 lbs on bar, next set 585 lbs on bar.
Still having energy I did: Squat Rack doing lock outs starting at 495 lbs, then 585 lbs, then 675 lbs, then 3 reps of 765 lbs. The next day I was barely sore. I couldnt believe it!
Everyone is looking for the natural (legal) edge for competition and the LifeWave Patches outperform my wildest dreams! From my experience, I would HIGHLY recommend this product for Amateurs and Professional Athletes as well as anyone looking for an increase in energy and endurance!" Tiny Meeker

Congratulations North Carolina! 2005 NCAA National Champions
Sean May
Most Outstanding Player
Sean May had talked almost every day during this tournament about becoming the second member of his family to win the title, and Monday he delivered, becoming the Final Four's most outstanding player.
Sean May no longer needs to carry around that old videotape of his father's national championship game. Now he has one of his own.
The burly North Carolina center made all but one of his 11 shots and scored 26 points in a dominating performance, controlling the paint and leading the Tar Heels past Illinois 75-70 Monday night.
In the process, May forced one of his defenders to foul out and left another with four fouls. And May left with the Most Outstanding Player award.

Still Hanging Around At 83
I am an 83 year old, relatively healthy, active single woman. And I pay attention to complaints from my body. My daughter brought me a one-week trial packet of LifeWave patches. During that week of going about my usual activities I became aware of subtle but amazing changes in how my body was functioning:1. My daily stretching exercises made me feel more awake and lighter.2. The most pull-ups I could do while hanging from my ankles on my Gravity Hanger increased from 10 to 15 the first day, to 20 the second day, and to 26 at the end of the week. This increased my pulse rate and broke a light sweat, but it also produced a feeling of more energy being available.3. I could use the stairs to my third floor apartment without needing the hand rail even at the top.4. Folding my arthritic spine in and out of my car was not accompanied by groans of stiffness.5. Standing up from a firm chair required only one attempt, instead of leaning far forward and heaving upward.6. I had much better balance when walking the few blocks to local services, and my feet articulated much better.7. My energy level does not diminish in the late afternoons, nor do I fall asleep if I sit down intending to read.
8. How could I not order my first month's supply of patches by next-day mail?

October 19, 2004U.S. Anti-Doping Agency Letter On LifeWave Patches ...More Information
September 1, 2004Lifewave publicly announces the availability of Distributorships coming September 27, 2004. August 28, 2004The PGAs and LPGAs total count for players using the Energy and Stamina Patches reaches 100 !!August 16, 2004ARTICLE FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, AUGUST 16, 2004 - A U.S. Anti-Doping Agency investigation of patches worn by six Stanford swimmers at the Olympic trials last month showed no signs the athletes used banned substances, according to the American and international governing bodies for the sport. The inquiry arose after an accusation that the patches worn by swimmers working under Stanford coach Richard Quick were laced with testosterone, according to the man whose company makes the product. David Schmidt previously told The Chronicle that his LifeWave Energy Enhancer contained only amino acids and water-based solutions, and he called the charge "ridiculous." Nevertheless, USA Swimming collected samples of the patch from Quick and sent them to USADA. On Friday, USADA sent letters to USA Swimming and FINA, the sport's world governing organization, stating it had found no wrongdoing.August 8, 2004The Energy Enhancer Patch makes Front Page news in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
August 1, 2004Preliminary reports today from the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) investigating Stanford Universitys Olympic Swim Team using David Schmidts patches, showed no illegal substances in the patches. USADA drug tested the Stanford swimmers and they tested negative (they were NOT using banned substances. USADA forwarded the patches to the WADA accredited laboratory at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). UCLA determined that none of the patches contained any banned substances.
(San Francisco Chronicle article.) Stanford University unexpectedly won the PAC 10 Championship. Five swimmers set a personal record and one set a world record in events leading up to the meet.

Lifewave Announces Energy Patches? Nano-Technology? World Records Being Broken!
The technology is the new approach to performance. Our Patent Pending method allows organic materials to interact with the human body to improve energy, performance and stamina but without ingesting anything.
(PRWEB) July 26, 2004 -- Nothing Enters the body (non-transdermal patch) Uses new organic nanotechnology structures Resonant Energy Transfer occurs between user and the patches Patches Frequency Modulate (FM) Human magnetic field The patch "transmits" the instructions "make energy". It is believed that the LifeWave patches communicate with the body like a cell phone.The lay public and even professionals often misunderstand, ignore and even ridicule radically different technologies and new commercial products, when they appear to deviate too much from conventional established approaches. In order for the marketplace to accept and embrace a radically different new commercial product the public must understand a products unique benefits and how it differs from other products on the market. The unique nature of LifeWave patchesLifeweave patches are unlike any other patch technology currently sold. While other patches placed on the skin deliver substances into the body, LifeWave patches are not trans-dermal patches. Instead this technology is entirely new and unique. LifeWave patches do not put any substances into the body. Instead the safe natural biological substances contained within the patches are used to create specific biosignals that modulate the bodys natural magnetic field in order to enhance certain specific biological reactions that are already naturally taking place. Stimulation of the body with electric or magnetic fields is a well-accepted practice in medicine. Most people are aware that electric or magnetic energy at different frequencies can be generated and applied to the body with electronic devices that are external to the body. The application of electric or magnetic energy to activate excitable tissues/cells and subcellular components is called electric stimulation or magnetic stimulation, respectively. The patch technology also uses bioelectric stimulation, however the stimulation is due to the production of specific electrical frequencies by the bodys natural magnetic field from materials present in the patches. Instead of putting a substance into the body the patch technology couples the frequency signature of the substance into the body. What David Schmidt, the inventor of LifeWave patches, has essentially done is to use the electronic and magnetic features of the body like a cellular radio to transmit very weak bioelectric signals from his patches into the body to enhance the production of energy. His technological discovery applies research from many fields of science to promote the burning of fat as an energy source to produce greater stamina. Patches are able to influence chemical reactions in the body, such as converting fats into energy without placing chemicals into the body. Instead of putting chemicals into the body these patches have been designed to deliver specific bioelectrical signals into the body. This is done by placing natural organic substances in the patches that exactly match some of the molecules involved in the regulation of energy production in the body. When the patches interact with the bodys magnetic field the natural substances in the patches, in a sense, act as a transmitter of a specific set of electrical frequencies. Patch technology was invented with the recognition that the body is composed of molecules and that each chemical reaction in the body uses very specific combinations of molecules and that these molecules will respond to specific frequency signals or codes. The frequencies produced by the interaction of the patches with the magnetic field of the body are in a sense a code that turns on the bodys production of energy.

The Lady started investing in ETFs back in June. Little did she know that was only the gateway. Now she's investing in stocks and her world may never be the same.
I never dreamed, NEVER dreamed, that I'd be investing. But I am.
This is just a brief account of how my entry into investing has transformed me…and in such short order.
Ticker Obsession
Did you know iPhones (even vintage models like my 4s) have a ticker app pre-installed? Who knew?!?
That app now sits front-screen-and-center next to its sister, TD Ameritrade mobile app. Now that I have started investing, I have both "positions" (sexy little term) and a healthy watch list (financial voyeurism), I check these sister apps approximately…..a BILLION times a day. In fact, it's the first thing I look at after waking.
What?!?! It's fun. It gives me a little jolt of ecstasy to watch my positions turn red then green then green. GREEN, GREEN, GREEN. Sure, I still check my STASH progress, too. But those little ETF (while I know are powerful) just don't turn me on anymore. This Lady needs some drama. The ups. The downs. The ups. (fans face)
Unlike some newbie investors, I don't worry when values go down. It's more like I'm cheering for the underdog. Come on, OPTT. You can do it! MOVE YOUR ASS! (When the hell is ocean wave power going to take off already?!?)
Will this ticker obsession grow old? Yes, I imagine it must…and soon I predict, but man it's addictive.
Temptation is Everywhere
Today, my morning commute was designed to be a salve for my broken heart, complete with ice coffee and a Dido CD. I was in need a bit of "woah is me" time and sitting in traffic on the 405 freeway is the perfect place for it.
But NO! Instead, everywhere I looked was a potential stock to buy. My morning commute became a veritable barrage of opportunity and greed.
Fuel truck with E85? Huh, I wonder who's the big player in that realm?
Hyatt Hotel? I wonder if they are still a private company.
What is that giant building? Zillow? Maybe I should research realty and rental companies.
Man, there are a lot of Prius on the freeway nowadays. How expensive is Toyota stock? Can you buy it here? Is it traded in the US?
Public storage is stupid. I can't believe I got suckered into paying for years. Hey, wait a minute? I wonder what those 5-year charts look like?
In short, my eyes seemed to be open to any and all opportunities…everywhere. My brain almost short-circuited from over-stimulation. I think this is probably a good thing, a lasting mind shift that will help me view my world in a new "all things are possible" light.
By-the-way, fuck you Dido. My life isn't all that bad. Sure, I lost the man but now I have STOCKS! Those little guys are sexy AF.
Money Grubbing
With all this opportunity flaunting itself everywhere, my primary urges scream "I need money! I want more money to invest. Must invest. Must invest. I'm in a hurry. I only have 20 years until retirement. Must push hard. I NEED CASH!!!"
This desperation is a bit scary, I'll admit. It has me considering stupid-ass shit.
Could I move my daughter's college fund into the stock market? No. Bad girl. Leave it alone.
How about my emergency fund? Surely I'd make money off that chunk of change ASAP, right? No, no, NO TOUCHING! (The savings account is literally named "No Touching.") Leave that alone, Lady.
Should I start driving for Uber like I planned? Can I bill more hours this week? I NEED CASH!
But you can't get blood from a stone and I need to control these urges. My priority is debt elimination. (I now chant this silently to myself when I get all excited.)
Desperation is ugly–and this Lady is single. She needs her looks….and to put first things first.
Now, I know this money-grubbing investment whore isn't really me.
I'm a Lady. In fact, I am THE Lady. I have balance and class and poise. A week of being a bit over-enthusiastic won't ruin my reputation. (Will it?) I know that patience is a virtue and a women's virtue must be protected at all cost. (In other news, I might be binge-watching too much Reign.)
This Lady will settle into a nice comfortable investment equilibrium. And I'm sure to eventually get one of those "strategy"-things that everyone is all about these days.
Do I have a TON to learn? Yes. Will I be reckless and lose some money? Yes, probably. Will I have the self control to restrain all these powerful "urges"? Yes. After all, I'm a good girl. Yet, I can't deny that my "first-time" tumble into investing has been one wild ride.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

In the 1984 movie "The Karate Kid," the main character is a boy named Daniel. He moves to a rough neighborhood in LA with his Mom…all the way across the country from New Jersey. He quickly finds himself the target of a group of bullies who study karate at a local dojo.
Soon, Daniel befriends Mr. Miyagi, an unassuming repairman who just happens to be a martial arts master himself. Miyagi takes Daniel under his wing, and begins to train him, as Daniel wants to compete against the local bullies.
Interestingly, there's a large portion of the movie dedicated to Mr. Miyagi showing Daniel his famous move:
"Wax on…wax off."
over. and Over. and OVER.
It's like a broken record. Even when it appears that Daniel is ready for more, Mr. Miyagi just repeats…
"Wax on…wax off."
It becomes one of the most quoted movie lines of all time.
Because it was an elementary way for people to understand the principle of PRACTICE.
You see, Daniel doesn't understand WHY he's doing this exercise…
over. and Over. and OVER.
But Mr. Miyagi does.
Daniel doesn't realize how much MORE he's getting out of it, than what's being taught. But Mr. Miyagi knows that Daniel is not just practicing. He's learning DISCIPLINE.
Mr. Miyagi knows that Daniel's discipline will lead to proficiency. And, that proficiency will eventually lead to mastery.
Right now, it's very possible that you are JUST LIKE DANIEL in your online marketing training.
Here's what I mean…
You've started advertising online. Essentially, you've put up a few ads, but you're not sure what's working and what isn't. You don't understand why you're doing what you're doing.
Contrary to what most business owners do, advertising online is NOT about throwing some mud against the wall to see what sticks.
It's about FUNDAMENTALS.
"Wax on…wax off."
There are certain ways to structure your ads. There are certain ways to expand your audience. There are certain ways to use content to enrich your prospect's experience and drive more sales.
"Wax on…wax off."
Something to consider…
What if you actually started advertising, and had BENCHMARKS to work from?
And, what if (with proper structure and testing), you could learn enough from those benchmarks that you could develop ads that could be your CONTROLS for further testing?
And, from there, what if you could test those controls against obvious VARIABLES?
And, from there, what if some of those variables proved to be better performers than your initial controls, and they became your NEW CONTROLS?
This is how the smart marketers do it…
"Wax on…wax off."
Stick to the fundamentals. One step at a time. Leverage and learn from each previous step.
Eventually, the fundamentals lead to discipline. The discipline leads to consistency. The consistency leads to proficiency. The proficiency leads to mastery.
"Wax on…wax off."
Mr. Miyagi was right.

I'm pretty proud of that title. I talking about walking. I talk about Spotify. BOOM! Walkify! That's some next-level creativity right there. Thank you, brain!
On today's show, I talk about reinforcing positive change with methods catered towards your personal preferences. We all have likes, dislikes, things that excite us, things that deter us. Too many times we look at something that works for someone else and say, "Hey! That will work for me!"
It's why fad diets fail and why workout regimens aren't for everyone. You need to communicate to yourself. When you force yourself to do something that's clearly against your nature completely, it just won't last. To make lasting change, you need to find a way to adjust your strategy specifically to you or else you'll break the habit.

We love experimenting as much as possible. Especially if one of us comes up with a wild and wacky idea. In rare cases we've lucked out and nailed the recipe on the first batch, but more often then not we've found that the results are generally "good", but need some tweaking here and there. These tweaks are usually made because it either doesn't quite meet the vision we had in our head or it just didn't go over well with others (we are trying to appeal to the masses after all). So here's some quick pieces of advice that have worked well for us when perfecting our ever evolving line up.
Make one change at a time
This is probably one of the best pieces of advice we've received and was given to us by a friend and fellow club member. Whether it's the combination of grains, hops, yeast, or even the temperatures used, all these factor into the resulting beer. It's important to remember that there's a lot of different things that happen on the chemical level when brewing beer. One small tweak to any one of those details could drastically change the overall flavor. Limiting your changes will help you get a better handle on what works and what doesn't. It may take more time, but the results will be worth it.
Be a scientist
Even if you're only making one tweak at a time, keep a journal of all of your brew days and approach your brewing scientifically. This is particularly important when a brew doesn't go as planned and events transpire that may affect your beer. More often then not the results from these mishaps are not ideal, but on occasion they may be beneficial. Best to write it down so that it can be replicated in the future.
Get opinions from others…and not just the nerds
Even the sharpest palettes have short comings and while the more experienced home brewers may be able to pick out more subtleties then most, you may be surprised by the feedback from the casual beer drinker. Even the description of what their tasting can be much more informative since the language they use is often much less technical since they are less familiar with the brewing process. It also helps to gauge the accessibility of your beer, especially if you're trying to nail down something more sessionable and easy to drink.
Use BJCP guidelines
Just because your beer may not fit into a BJCP category doesn't mean it's a bad beer, but if you are trying to dial in a particular style of beer then reading through the guidelines for that style could provide some clues as to what's missing or needs adjustment. We've found the "Vital Statistics" section particularly useful when first designing a recipe. Sometimes the "Ingredients" section will even provide you with a shopping list if you want something more authentic.
Clone recipes are useful
Personally, we've never had much interest in cloning or brewing a clone recipe. That being said, if you really like a certain character of a commercial beer, they can provide good insight into achieving similar results. Finding a good clone recipe can also give you a good starting point to put your own spin on a recipe or may provide you with the last piece of the puzzle with a beer you've been developing.
Hope these help.

Benny T's Vesta Dry Hot Sauce
by Jessica Deseo on 02/10/2014 | 3 Minute Read
The guys at Benny's T's wanted to create an amazing Hot Sauce that enhanced their food, rather than mask it. Along with the product, the packaging has reinvented itself over the years to finally deliver a functional and beautiful jar. Benny T's Vesta (originally known as Vesta Fiery Gourmet Toppings) was founded in 2007 by Ben Tuorto, an avid chile and spicy food enthusiast.
"Introducing the original dry hot sauce. And by "original" we mean it's the only one that exists. Benny T invented Vesta to bring flavor, aroma, and mind-altering heat to your table and the foods you love. We've harnessed the heat and flavor of the world's hottest chiles to bring you a truly new way to eat spicy that you can actually enjoy.
After 20 years of enjoying all things spicy, his fiery enjoyment came mostly from the use of fresh chile peppers, of all heat levels, with a penchant for the hottest he could obtain. Turned off by the flood of gimmicky and often unpleasant tasting hot sauces and single dimension hot salsas, Ben was inspired to use only fresh chiles and began exposing many friends and family members to his love of adding heat to food.
After several years of perfecting the right combination of flavor and heat - Vesta was born."
"Our branding and packaging have come a long way since the honey pot jars and leaflets we started with in 2007. After years of research, product sourcing, and community feedback we've created a unique and unifying look for our original product in a jar that delivers it onto your favorite dishes in a simple shake."

AAUN researchers work for consistent pipeline of talent for African academia
Researcher Profile: Dr Mignonne Breier (UCT) and Dr Lorraine Towers (University of Sydney): working for a step-change in higher education to ensure a consistent pipeline of talent for African academia
Many African countries are increasing their intake of doctoral students, but do not have enough academics with PhDs to supervise them. The continent needs a step-change in higher education to address the issue of under-qualification of academic staff and ensure a consistent pipeline of talent for African academia. In Australia, a much higher proportion of academics hold PhDs, but specific fields face similar issues of under-qualification.
"Our vision is to do research that will help countries to upgrade the qualifications of existing staff and ensure a pipeline of new doctoral graduates" says Cape Town's Dr Mignonne Breier who joins Dr Lorraine Towers (Sydney) and Professor Chaya Herman (Pretoria) in an AAUN seed funded project 'Academics without doctorates'.
Dr Breier has recently visited The University of Sydney to complete the analysis and write-up of the Australian component of the research project.
The team has delivered a version of this paper Doctoral rites and liminal spaces: academics without PhDs in South Africa and Australia at the 40th annual conference of the African Studies Association of Australasia and the Pacific, held at the University of South Australia in Adelaide on 23 and 24 November 2017.
The paper has been published in Higher Education Quarterly, please view via this link. If this is not working (due to publisher's terms and conditions) please use this link.
AAUN had the pleasure of meeting the two Principal Investigators and seized the opportunity to learn more about this collaboration.
How to develop the next generation of academics and researchers
Dr Breier: 'How to develop the next generation of academics and researchers' was identified as an important topic for research in South Africa at an AAUN workshop in Pretoria in 2014.
More than two decades after the advent of democracy in 1994, South African academics are still predominantly white, forming 63% of the academic workforce, when whites form only 8% of the population. The next generation of academics has to be more demographically representative. It also needs to be better qualified.
Currently, only 43.8 percent of permanent academics at South African universities have PhDs. There is also a widespread shortage of PhD qualified academic staff in other African countries, so the question is important for the continent too. The University of Cape Town (UCT) took the lead in developing a proposal for seed funding and inviting interested researchers from AAUN partner universities to collaborate.
The application was successful and we used the funding to hold a workshop in Johannesburg attended by researchers from the Universities of Cape Town, Pretoria, Sydney and Mauritius. Here we resolved to do research that could have relevance for institutional and national policies on the upgrading of academic staff qualifications as well as the theory on doctoral education. We decided to include Australia despite the fact that there are much higher proportions of academics with PhDs here, because we know this country faced similar issues when colleges were merged with universities and college staff had to upgrade their qualifications. We also know that there are some specific fields where the issue is also important.
One of your objectives is 'a step-change in higher education to ensure a consistent pipeline of talent for African academia'. How are you working towards this? Do you find that your outcomes support your vision?
Our research so far is small scale and preliminary but it does indicate the extent of the problem in South Africa and shows that it is complex matter to which there is no single solution. There are many different reasons why certain staff might not have attained their PhDs, or are having difficulty achieving them and no single way to support them to graduate. We hope to make recommendations that will be useful to institutions and government, which is currently providing a lot of funding for doctoral study for black South African academics without PhDs.
What role does the Australia Africa Network (AAUN) play in your work?
This research would not have happened without the support of the AAUN which brought the team of researchers together in the first place and the seed funding it has provided.
Some of the researchers who formed part of the initial group were not able to continue their involvement due to other commitments, but three of us – Mignonne Breier (UCT), Lorraine Towers (USyd), and Chaya Herman (UP) – have persisted and have benefited from all the interactions, including some of the AAUN forums in Australia and South Africa.
Your collaboration has been fruitful, and you are taking it further forward. Do you have any advice for fellow (AAUN) researchers who have just started their project? Any 'keys to success'?
We highly recommend research collaborations across two or more countries. Comparison highlights through difference the trends which one might otherwise not notice.
One can also benefit from the varied perspectives of researchers from different disciplines and national contexts.
Make use of any opportunities which the AAUN can provide for the research team to meet physically. Email, skype and teleconferences are useful but there is nothing to beat a face to face meeting. But make sure the project works towards publications.
In this way one's deliberations and research can reach a wider audience – academic and non-academic – and make a contribution to national and international conversations. If you publish from the research you are also more likely to be leverage further funds from other sources, which might enable you to meet more often or extend your study.
For more information about AAUN funded research projects, see the AAUN annual reports.

Echinacea is native to North America, with about 10 species growing naturally in open woods and plains in the central United States and Canada. The most common Echinacea species are Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea pallida and Echinacea angustifolia. Echinacea purpurea is the one most often used as a dietary supplement.
American Indians were the first peoples to recognize the benefits of Echinacea, and numerous tribes used the species that grew in their regions. In fact, Echinacea was probably the most used medicinal plant by Native Americans in the midwest.
The leaves and roots were used as a tea, placed directly on the tooth for toothaches and applied topically to the skin. The most common uses were for immune system related problems, just as we use it today. The Cheyenne used a tea of leaves and roots for sore throats. The Kiowa chewed the root and swallowed the juice for coughs and sore throats. Comanche also used Echinacea for colds and sore throats. In addition, Echinacea earned the name Snakeroot because several tribes found it helpful for treating snakebites.
Early white settlers learned of the benefits of Echinacea from the Indians as they moved into the central U.S. It was given to their animals as well as being used by the settlers themselves.
Echinacea was first introduced to the American health profession in 1887 by John Uri Lloyd, a famous pharmacist and manufacturer of herbal medicines. It was used and recommended by thousands of doctors and became a widely used herbal medicine of the late 1800's and early 1900's. With the growth of drug medicine in the 20th century, Echinacea lost favor in America until the herbal renaissance of the late 20th century.
However, German researchers discovered Echinacea in the 1930's and began to popularize its use in Europe. Most of the clinical research with Echinacea over the past 50 years has been done in Europe, and millions of Europeans now use Echinacea purpurea herb juice for immune support and upper respiratory health on a regular basis. The story came full circle back to America when in 1986 the first company to introduce this proven product in the United States was Yerba Prima, of Ashland, Oregon.
This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

The excretory system is responsible for removing metabolic waste products from the body's chemistry. The process of excretion involves the separation of wastes from the body's tissues and fluids, and eliminating them.
These waste products are generated as by-products of metabolism.
Metabolism is a process of chemical changes within cells and tissues that is necessary for maintaining life and growth. It consists of two (2) metabolic operations: anabolism and catabolism.
Anabolism is a process of chemical exchanges in which molecules are synthesized or constructed from simpler units to more complex forms. Examples are the building of muscles or bone growth.
Catabolism works in the opposite manner to anabolism. Instead of building up molecules this process breaks them down from complex forms into simpler units, usually resulting in the release of energy. Protein digestion is an example of catabolism.
The lowest or minimum level of cell chemistry that is required to maintain the body's vital processes (such as respiration and heartbeat) is referred to as Basal Metabolism.
The many chemical exchanges that take place during the metabolic process will inevitably produce chemical wastes. If these waste products are allowed to accumulate in the body, they can become toxic and harm the body's organs and tissues. Consequently, excretion is necessary in order to separate these wastes from the tissues and eliminate them from the body.
Examples of some waste products eliminated by the excretory system include the removal of carbon dioxide in the air we exhale, and unwanted nitrogen in sweat, nails and hair.
Don't confuse excretion with defecation. Defecation is a separate waste elimination process and involves getting rid of undigested foods from the body... via the colon.
The excretory system consists of four (4) main organ systems that are responsible for eliminating metabolic wastes form the body. They are:
The following diagram gives an illustration of the structure of the urinary excretory system.
The kidney's unique anatomy allows it to effectively discharge its many functions. In order to function efficiently, the kidneys must have a very good blood supply. For this reason the kidneys contain lots of blood vessels. Together, both kidneys contain over 160 km of blood vessels.
Blood is supplied to the kidneys by the Renal Artery. On average, the kidneys account for only 0.4% of body weight, however, they receive approximately 21% of cardiac output. Over 180 liters (50 gal) of blood is supplied to the kidneys each day. Considering that a human adult body contains 7 to 8 liters of blood, this means that the entire volume of blood gets filtered 20 to 25 times each day!
Once blood enters the kidneys the filtering process begins. Through a process of chemical exchanges, excess salt, water, amino acids, glucose and other waste products such as urea and uric acid are removed from the blood. Substances that are useful to the body are returned to the blood.
This filtering process is performed by microscopic structures within the kidneys known as nephrons. Each kidney contains over one million nephrons.
The filtered blood moves through tiny blood vessels in the nephrons called capillaries. It then exits the kidneys through the Renal Vein and is transported throughout the rest of the body.
The substances that are extracted from the blood during the filtering process move through a tube in the nephron, called the renal tubule. (The two kidneys contain about 16 km of tubules.) Those substances which are useful to the body, such as water, salt, glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed into the blood, through the capillaries. Just enough water and salt are reabsorbed to give the blood its correct composition.
The unwanted substances, such as urea, uric acid, excess water and salt remain in the renal tubule and eventually pass into the ureters. (The ureters are approximately 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in) long and about 0.5 cm (0.2 in) in diameter.) The waste products form what is known as urine. It moves along the ureters into the bladder where it is eventually expelled from the body, through the urethra.
The urinary system is an essential element of the body's excretory system. It plays a vital role in eliminating dangerous toxin and other waste substances, and helps to maintain homeostasis in the body.
Homeostasis (ho-me-oh-stay-sis) is the ability of the body to maintain internal stability, even when the environment around it changes. In a state of homeostasis, the body is able to detect harmful changes in its environment and activate mechanisms that counteract them.
If the urinary excretory system becomes damaged or is unable to perform its critical function, the results would be contamination of the blood... leading to serious life-threatening diseases. If the process of excretion is significantly inhibited, toxins begin to accumulate in the body, resulting in serious consequences to the body's organs and tissues.
