7 Simple Money Savers for the Home
Get Started Going Green with These Simple Steps
Also see 30+ Money-Saving Green Tips
By Brian Clark Howard
Shower Water Heater
Turn Down Your Water Heater
Who doesn't enjoy a long, hot shower after a long, hard day? Unfortunately, it's also true that hot water heaters are big energy and dollar guzzlers.
But take heart: Lowering the temperature on your water heater from 140 to 120 degrees will reduce your water heating costs by 6 to 10%. Give it a try. Many people find that tweaking the dial to save energy and money can become addictive.
Unplug Unused Chargers
Unplug Unused Chargers
Even when they aren't charging anything, plugged-in cell phone, laptop and other chargers continue to draw electricity. Americans throw away about 8% of our annual electric bills this way, wasting billions of dollars.
The solution is simple: just unplug them, or plug them into a surge protector and flip that switch when your device has pulled enough juice.
Install CFLs
The little spiral-shaped bulbs known as compact fluorescents use less than a third of the energy of regular bulbs and last ten times longer, paying for themselves in lower energy bills within months. If every U.S. household replaced just one regular bulb with a CFL, the amount of energy saved could light 2.5 million homes for a year.
The good news is CFLs now come in a variety of colors and styles, including flood lights, candelabra sizes and much more.
:ow Flow Shower
Install Low-Flow Water Fixtures
Decades ago, toilets used 5 gallons per flush, but these days more efficient models are readily available. So-called low-flow models use less than a gallon, and work great. American Standard, Toto and Kohler are leaders in the field.
Also save water and money, and still have ample water pressure, with a low-flow showerhead, which can slash bathing-water consumption 50 to 70 percent. The devices are simple to install and start at around $8. Low-flow faucets are also a great option.
Energy Star Bosch
Upgrade to Energy Star Appliances
Energy Star was designed by the EPA to take the guesswork out of appliance buying. Look for the blue-and-white label, which means the item is at least 10-50% more efficient than standard models (depending on the class of product). That means lower energy bills and less pollution.
More than 18,000 products in 35 different categories are covered in the Energy Star program, and most major manufacturers participate. Energy Star is a fixture in the showrooms of most retailers coast to coast.
Put in Low-Water Plantings
'Green carpet' grass lawns take a huge amount of water in dry climates, which leads to both high water bills and a lot of hassle and worry. Plus, the possibility of mandatory water restrictions means the yard may end up looking like a barren wasteland.
Instead, plant drought-tolerant native shrubs, trees and grasses. They won't require nearly as much water and will serve as habitat for local wildlife. Using low-water plantings even has a catchy name: xeriscaping.
In desert climates, cacti and similar plants, especially native ones, can add great beauty. You can also use stones, rocks and other features to add interest.
Thermostat Energy
Get Smart About Heating and Cooling
With high prices for heating fuels and electricity stalking the nation, it's good to know that there are some easy ways to save money in the area of climate control. That's significant, given that most households shell out 50 to 70% of their energy budgets on heating and cooling, according to the Department of Energy.
What to do? Simply installing a programmable thermostat will save you approximately $150 a year, according to the EPA -- that means it will pay for itself in just a few months. In warm temperatures, resist the temptation to set the air conditioning too low, and be vigilant with heating when it's chilly.
Aiming for 78 degrees or higher when you're at home while reduce your cooling loads 10-20%. When you're away, make it 85 degrees and save an additional 5-12%. In colder weather, for every degree you lower the thermostat, you'll save between 1 and 3% of your heating bill.

Broken Cities or Civic
Friday, October 26 - 12:00 to 2:00 p.m.
Hudson Institute - Betsy and Walter Stern Conference Center
1015 15th Street, NW - Suite 600
Washington, DC 20005

Event Description
Just over two years ago, the citizens of Bell, California, discovered from an exposé in the Los Angeles Times that their city officials were among the highest paid in the nation, in spite of the city's underperforming economy and high unemployment rate. After some officials were arrested, the city was left with no functioning government and empty coffers.
This might seem like the least favorable environment for encouraging civic engagement in public affairs, but that is not how Pepperdine University's Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership saw it. Davenport's Pete Peterson helped the new civic leadership design a process to bring everyday citizens directly into the redesign of government and its budget.
According to one account, "Since his involvement with the city began, Peterson's partnership with Bell's new and interim management has served as a living, breathing case study of public engagement and civic renewal, one that he hopes will inspire other cities to adopt further dialogue between local government and residents. [As Peterson said,] 'I've been tremendously encouraged thus far by both the citizens of Bell and the new city leaders, who have been at the forefront of trying to change the identity of a city now known as a symbol of corruption.'"
Speakers will include Pete Peterson, Executive Director of the Davenport Institute; Christopher Gates from Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement; City of Bell Council Member Ana Maria Quintana; and former interim Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Bell Kenneth Hampian. Hudson Institute Senior Fellow William Schambra will moderated the discussion.

This is a very good route, with a short bouldery crux and plenty of runout on moderate terrain. To get to the start of the route, walk left along the base of the Brass Wall until the good climber's track run out, then thrash down into a small gully. You are now near the start of the route, which begins by climbing a chimney in a very prominent right-facing corner system that arches to the right. Despite the wide-looking cracks, we found that we didn't use much big gear - 1 #4 Camalot was sufficient. The traverse on the second pitch is the psychological crux, but it can be protected adequately with small cams and brass nuts. The technical crux on pitch 6 takes bomber small TCUs.
Small to medium nuts, double cams #.5 - #3 Camalot, single cams #00 TCU up to finger size, 1 #4 Camalot. Mostly trad anchors.
Very good adventure route. P1 is burly. P2 is spooky looking, but it has more gear than you think/fear. The P3 dihedral is runout at the top, but has easy moves on solid rock. P4 has more good hand crack and is well protected. The fixed anchors run out here. P5 has lots of lousy gear on crunchy, easy rock. P6, the crux, is just a few moves long and can be easily aided. Watch the loose rock sitting in the crack above the horn, you don't want to undo all your progress just as things start to ease up! P7 can be taken sharply left and connected to the penultimate anchors on Birdland at 5.7 PG/R, which makes for an easy descent. Does anyone know what the anchors to the right of P3 belong to?
The anchors right of P3 on the face? not sure To the right in the chasm is Brassballs (5.10), in Swains second guidebook.
Really good line- the loose rock kept things interesting for the entire route. Bolts on the 2nd and 3rd pitch are in excellent shape. Another option for gaining Birdland is to topout on Spectrum, then downclimb and traverse left to the top anchors for that route. We also looked around for the rap anchors into the gully, but couldnt find them...maybe we passed them on the way to the top and didnt notice? Also, we sort of decided that you can really get away with a single rack to 4" and a set and a half of stoppers- the doubles are not necessary as far as we could tell.
We used a standard rack, nuts and cams to maybe four inches. Small cams (aliens) were useful in the hard-to-protect pitches. Over the shoulder runners are useful on several pitches, including the crux.
This route is very good. The rumors of loose rock are true, but it has very little bad rock on it. Once this route see's a few more ascent's it will clean up nicely.
I thought this route was a pile. THe roof at the end reminded me of Vertigo in Eldo. Cheers
So, we couldn't see any gear on the first part of that traverse. The first hold I grabbed fell off in my hands and when I stood up to grab the next things didn't feel any better. To top it off, there isn't any gear we could see from the chimney, making a fall off that first 15' nasty as hell. The book said there is a bolt anchor somewhere on the second pitch but we could see none. Having a little pro to shoot for on the first 15' would have made this doable. Did the fire change something up there or were we just looking at the wrong traverse? Also, is the .10d variation on the first pitch chossing off? two crimps with rotten feet to bad gear and a fall onto a dead mountain holly? I want to go back and do the thing, but things were looking grim.
tenesmus- the second pitch traverse involves a bit of down climbing before crossing the void- a cam up high mitigates this, but the crux has little/no gear (a microcam at your feet is possible). on another note- i heard today that the horn (finishing jug) on the roof broke off during a recent ascent- i understand that the route still goes, but the horn is no longer there. I cannot confirm that the grade is still .11a, either.
The horn broke on me at it's tip but it's still a very very good jug,(sorry, momma grows em big), I can't comment on the grade as I didn't send, I had to pull on a piece to get over... The start seemed shady so we actually pulled the brass balls crux(very well bolted one-move wonder) and then traversed into spectrum from that... we also traversed from above the crux pitch directly into birdland before its crux without any problem(nice way to finish)... route was ok but we enjoyed taking turns watching big horn adolescents below us practicing ramming for pretty much the whole day!
If it is cold out and you are looking for a hard multi pitch route that does not have a huge approach (like Levitation) then this is a very nice option with some classic pitches and some hard climbing. I can't rate the route because I pulled on gear at the big roof (the jug at the lip is still there and it is great). I also cheated the first 10 feet of the initial variation pitch because it was choss and dangerous. However, with the exception of the initial 15 feet of the route the climbing was very nice. To get past the manky first 10 feet we did a shoulder stand, popped in a cam and aided for three moves - from then on it went free and the rock was bullet proof black varnish for every pitch except the traverse back into Birdland. The final crack pitch up Birdland is also not to be missed. The dihedral pitch down low is also an absolute gem - one of the best 5.9's around. I definitely recommend this for a cold winter day where you need a good all around climbing experience
Very good adventure climbing. I thought the roof was way harder than 11a but it's only 10 feet. Felt like V2 to me. The route is either hard, or runout, but not both at the same time. Not a route for the budding 5.10 leader even tho most of it is in the 5.9 range...some serious runouts and the odd bit of sketchy rock. At the top of P1, the traverse steps down and right. There is no gear for about the first 30 feet or so but the hardest move-- 5.9-- is right off the corner so even if you blow it the fall won't be too bad. The last pitch goes on and on, and if you stick to fairly close to the arete/edge on the right, you will find the rap anchors (I did, in the dark).
Climbed this route today. Doubt I will repeat it. The rock quality is questionable. The long traversing runouts are on easy terrain. I did not step down at the start of the second pitch and still didn't think it was 10b. Could someone explain why there is a bolt on the 5.7 3rd pitch and not at the start of the unnerving 2nd pitch. My partner didnt clip it as there was a .5 placement not too far above it. It is possible to link the 3-4 pitch with a 70M. The fourth pitch is probably the best pitch on the route do to the quality of the rock and climbing. The crux pitch is bouldery and well protected. Big moves to good holds. Not a ton of jamming technique neccessary. 11a is a good rating. It felt slightly easier than Risk Bros. We finished with the splitter 5th pitch of Birdland. A nice treat after climbing all that choss! Definitly wouldn't put this at the top of my tick list if I was visiting RR.

It's a horrible, tragic situation where people lost EVERYTHING. Yet a small group of miserable people, the ones posting above, gloat.
To gloat means you have no compassion for those that lost it all. Further, it only underscores the ignorance that all of you illustrate on a daily basis: You're going to pay twice for this.
Who do you think funds the Federal Prison System, hmmmm? For the next 20 years, each and every one of us will underwrite Ron's stay: Food, water, health care, shelter ... all paid for by folks like you and me.

He loved playing football under the Friday night lights. The year was 1995 and Jacob Dewberry had just entered his junior year at Metro Christian High School. It was a cool, sunny September Tuesday afternoon and football practice was almost over. Twenty-two players lined up to participate in a scrimmage and Dewberry, playing tailback, was ready for the handoff. Dewberry loved playing football, but after this particular scrimmage, everything would change. Dewberry took the ball and was immediately speared by a defensive tackle. He fell to the ground, clutching his elbow. "I had never felt so much pain in my life," Dewberry said. "Right then, I knew my season was over."
Dewberry's football career was over and after experiencing numbness in his left pinky and ring finger for weeks, he went to the doctor and was told, at the age of seventeen, that he had torn a piece of his cartilage along the Ulnar nerve and was going to need Tommy John surgery. Today, Dewberry can hardly throw a football and his elbow still gives him problems. Athletes place their bodies on the line for the sake of glory and entertainment. Eventually an athlete's body simply wears out. Or, like Dewberry, athletes can sustain gruesome injuries at the hands of others and they are never the same.
No athlete wants to look like a wimp. They don't want to sit out games and miss valuable playing time, but athletes need to know its okay to sit out and reevaluate their injury. "The problem in a lot of sports is that players try to play through their injuries," said Dr. Caleb Nunley, assistant professor of Sports Medicine at the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa. "We see kids that have concussions and try to go back out and have a lot of problems trying to get back to normal and missing a whole season because their concussion lags on." It's difficult watching from the sidelines and not being a part of a game-winning play, but if injuries are not addressed properly, they could lead to more serious problems down the road.
Twisting ligaments and breaking bones can happen suddenly, but more and more kids and teens are entering doctors' offices complaining of tendinitis, sore shoulders and knees. Although professional athletes can sustain the same fate, younger bodies are at a higher risk of developing these problems. The reasoning behind the rise in overuse injuries in children is because their bodies haven't fully developed yet. You see, children still have growth plates. These areas of tissue near joints are eventually replaced by solid bones once the body has reached its full potential in growth. In most cases growth plate fractures do heal, but some cases a bone could grow improper and result in a deformity.
"Children should not play one sport year round; it puts too much stress on the same muscles and bones," Nunley said. "Instead, have them mix sports up. Playing different sports builds different muscles and your child isn't overusing muscles." Professional athletes don't play year round. Studies have shown that when the human body is resting, it breaks down muscles and bones and builds them back stronger.
Knowing your injury
Athletes, young and old, are primed to be injured. While some injuries are more life-altering, there are some that won't sideline you for too long. Sprains result from either a stretch or tear in a ligament, and typically occur from a blow to the body or a fall. Parts of the body that are the most exposed to a strain are ankles, knees, and wrists. The severity of an injury depends on how much pain or swelling occurs or if movement of a limb or joint is intolerable.
There are a lot of ways to injure a knee: repeating the same motions, sudden stops, direct blows to the knee, landing wrong after a jump or just plain running. According to The Children's Memorial Institute for Sports Medicine, over seventy percent of ACL injuries occur without any contact with another player, typically while landing from a jump or changing direction suddenly.
A break with little or no damage to surrounding tissue is considered an acute fracture. If you do happen to break a bone and it pierces the skin, but only results in slight damage to tissue, that is called a compound fracture. Beware: Fractures that break the skin are prone to be dangerous and, left untreated, can cause infection.
Stress fractures are the result of running and repeated impact to a muscle. "Shin splints are a pain someone feels on the inside of their lower leg," Nunley said. "With shin splints, the pain should be over a wide area on the inside on the leg. If you put a finger on one area, then we physicians worry about a stress fracture and that is much worse."
Preventing Injuries
"To avoid an injury, the first thing a young kid or adult should do is to make sure that there is nothing glaring going on," Nunley said. "Secondly, they should make sure that they are wearing appropriate clothes. If you decide to run outside while it is hot out, make sure you are wearing single layer of clothes and appropriate shoes. Also, keep yourself hydrated. If you are going to workout for less than an hour, drink water. If you workout for more than an hour, drinking sports drink with carbohydrates is best." Nunley also recommends these other ways of avoiding injury:
Increase mileage or speed slowly -- "To train properly, increase your training gradually. If you are running, increase your mileage by ten percent each week. Then, increase your speed by ten percent the following week. You want to pace yourself."
Avoid running on hard surfaces -- "Hard surfaces will put a lot of strain on your lower legs."
Wearing the appropriate footwear -- "Runners should change their shoes every 350-550 miles. The best way to test your footwear is to lay your shoes on a flat surface and if they are tilting to one side, it is time to change."
Stretch -- "Stretch before and after a physical activity."
Now that you know what types of injuries are out there, the next step is understanding treatment. Nunley recommends resting and placing something cold on the injury. If it is a musculoskeletal problem, elevate. Depending on the severity of an injury, some treatments may take place in the comfort of your own home, while others may require surgery and rehabilitation. If an injury causes pain, swelling, numbness, or tenderness, or if there is visible breakage, or if you are unable to place weight on the area, you should seek immediate assessment from a healthcare professional. If you do not experience any of the symptoms above, you may be able to treat yourself at home, by resting, icing, compressing and elevating. If you continue to play or exercise on an injury, you risk causing more damage.
The advantages of being physically active are enormous. Avoiding injuries by following the common sense rules above allow optimum benefit to be achieved.

Tower Shatter-Resistant 3-qt. Pitcher
We bought some six ice tea glass and six drink glasses. The quality and appearance are great!!!!!We are really pleased with our purchase.
April 17, 2012
good for everyday
I bought these to use everyday indoors. I have two small children and wanted something that looked nice but wouldn't get broken. So far so good. I do hand wash them to make them last longer. They look like glass and the weight of them is comparable. Because they are plastic they get tons and tons of scratches. I think they look just like the photos on line. So I do think they were worth the money especially because I couldn't find them anywhere else in the bronze color.
April 3, 2012
We just built a pool and deck area. I needed glasses, plates, etc. that would not break on the deck and have a mess to clean up. I love the feel of the big glasses, they are heavy and the water I put in them didn't taste like plastic. The wine glasses are sort of light weight but what else are you going to get that is shatterproof and still looks like a wine glass. I washed everything in the dishwasher without an issue.
March 22, 2012
Love these glasses!
Purchased mainly for my husband who is a huge tea drinker. All of my old plastic glasses were stained and scratched. These are wonderful glasses; no staining, scratching, dishwasher safe, and no spots on the glasses after washing. My husband also likes the shape of the glasses.
March 20, 2012
Great, but...
Love the look of this set & BPA-free plastic! I purchased the amber color.The design, however pretty, didn't take into acct. the ability to stack for storage purposes. They are dishwasher safe, but again the concave groove on the bottom of the glasses fills with water and does not dry on the "dry cycle." I was most concerned about getting plastic which was BPA-free.
March 16, 2012
very good quality acrylic
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the glasses. Great for around the pool!
March 8, 2012
Elegant Presentation
Great pitcher. Handle design makes easy pouring even with a full pitcher. The bronze tint is very faint...it does not detract from the liquid inside.
March 8, 2012
Design ofTower Shatter-resistant Outdoor Partyware
I've just started using the glasses so can't comment on quality and durability. The glasses look great, but I wish the glasses had a flat bottom instead of being concave. I don't like to use glassware that can't go in the dishwasher. Unless I tilt these glass just right, they are full of water when I unload the dishwasher.
March 8, 2012
love it !!!
I was really happy to get my product. to bad I cant use it in the microwave.. only down fall. Now I just have to train my boys at home... But really love it...
March 8, 2012
Excellent products
We have purchase several products and we are
very happy with all of them, great service, quality
Thanks, Bob

Great outdoor party ware
This is really not what I expected. The glassware is great for entertaining outside where you would like elegance but without using your fine glassware because of breakage. The glassware is made of quality material. They look like real glass, yet it's plastic and shatter resistant. I ordered two sets. I plan on ordering another 2 sets to make sure I have plenty for a party. I would definitely recommend this product.
December 23, 2011
Shatter Outdoor Partyware
They look like glass but I dropped one on the floor to test the shatter resistant (because I could not resist) and the glass did not chip, crack, or scratch. They look nice and I would buy more of these.
December 14, 2011
Shatter Resistant Glasses
The glasses have been fantastic although washing they have to be touched up drying as they leave water marks in the dish washer.
November 2, 2011
Great outdoor beverage set
I am very pleased with the quality and look of this product! I think I might buy a second set before they are all gone!
October 26, 2011
Durable yet attractive
Very durable for our family (3 boys) so glass is out right now but this set very nice in appearance, so it works for us.
I see on the above the picture that there is more to this style.. Is it still available?
October 26, 2011
Love these glasses!
These glasses are durable, have a nice weight for a plastic glass, and are the perfect size. My only one complaint about them is when they are in the dishwasher, there is a little hollow spot on the bottom that fills up with water and has to be emptied before removing from the dishwasher. They should have made them with a flat bottom. If they did, they would have received 5 stars from me. Still, I do love them and will probably buy some more.
October 19, 2011
just fabulous
i was at my sisters home, she had this fabulous outdoor dinner ware, tossed one of the highball glasses out onto her patio, concrete mind you. She told me they were a few years old. OMG, Looked brand new. I ordered the plates in error, i ment to order the double old fashon glasses. however, i am very happy with my fat finger purchase. Non-microwaveable is not an issue, i dont microwave. excellent quality.
October 12, 2011
Great glasses
These are great glasses. I initially ordered them to use outside at the pool, but they look so nice that I decided to use them year round inside. They're great for kids because they look so real, but are unbreakable. The only complaint I have is that there is a well underneath the bottom of the glass that collects a decent amount of water in the dishwasher which needs to be dumped out so they can dry.
October 4, 2011
This is a beautiful set. The quality is very very nice and the pieces have a nice bottom weight to them so they won't tip easily. My family and guest were amazed that these were not glass. I also purchased the stemware and i am very pleased with them also. These dress up any table just as nicely as your fine glassware would. I hope they hold up and last me a long time
September 12, 2011
Durable..Compliments Well
Well, yes they do have a seam. But, for the cost and convenience, they are above average in quality. They do not have the look, weight or feel of cheap plastic. These are a step above and I don't seem to notice the seam...pun intended. The bottons are sturdy, they don't tip, there is very little sweating and after using them all summer, they wash beautifully in the dishwasher time & time again. I recently purchased 2 sets for a friend @ the sale prices. She has complimented mine and will be pleased.
September 10, 2011
Very Nice!!
I was so happy with the quality of these glasses and pitcher that I purchased a second set for our cottage. I am hoping they hold up for the long haul, cause I really like this set!!
September 9, 2011
Great poolside glassware
These glasses are beautiful and durable. Owning a poll for over 20 years I have tried many "unbreakable" glasses for poolside and these are the best. No cracking whatsoever after many trips thru the dishwasher!
September 3, 2011
Great everyday glasses
I was looking for good everday glasses that I didnt have to worry about breaking. these glasses are great and exactly what i was looking for. i bought them in clear. perfect size for everyday. i should buy more but i think 6 are good for now.
September 2, 2011
Polycarbonate glasses
I have had a set of polycarbonate glasses for quite a few years and was interested in aquiring a new set. I love the bronze color of these. They are durable and a good size and weight. There are seams where they were molded that distract slightly from their appearance. Maybe most people wouldn't even notice, but I do. My other set did not have these seams.
September 2, 2011
Nice glasses
These are nice glasses. They are lightweight and look good. They seem durable so far (have used them a few weeks now). The last set we bought from Frontgate lasted close to 10 years! The only drawback to these glasses is that if you look really close, you can see the seams where the two halves were joined. Our last set didn't show a seam (but it wasn't BPA free either).
August 31, 2011
Received my set of 17 oz tumblers today. I was disappointed to see the seam along the entire length of the glass. The seam is very visible on every glass. The glasses were also a bit thicker than I would have liked but otherwise they are nice and clear with a nice weight for stability to them.
August 26, 2011
Tower Shatter-resistant outdoor party ware
I am disappointed in these glasses. While they are dishwasher safe they really can not be washed in the dishwasher. The bottoms of the glasses are concave so they hold several tablespoons of water in the bottom of each glass if sent through the dishwasher. My dish towel was soaking wet by the time I soaked all the water out of the bases of the glasses. I was also disappointed in how spotted they looked. I had to hand polish each one. I might as well have hand washed them, and that is not what I was looking for when I ordered them.
August 23, 2011
Very nice with one minor problem
This partyware is very pretty and thick... looks like glass. The only complaint that I have is that you can feel a seam running down the sides. But I still recommend it.
August 16, 2011
Wonderful Glasses!
I originally purchased the set that includes 6 small glasses, 6 big, and the pitcher. The quality is wonderful. They are sturdy glasses with a great feel. Easy to hold and they do not get condensation on the outsides of them. My family and I use them both indoors and out. They look so nice and go with everything. We just bought 6 more of each size.
August 13, 2011
Tower Shatter resistant outdoor partyware
The shatter resistant glasses are beautiful - I bought a dozen of each size and love the look. HOWEVER, I bought them in part because they are dishwasher safe. But the bottom of each glass is indented so much that it holds probably 1/8 cup of water in each after the wash is done. Getting them out makes a mess so that I have to hand dry each glass. Disappointed in the shape. Probably wouldn't buy them again.

Preventing -- heart disease could be as easy as changing your diet even for people at high risk.
An impressive new study suggests switching to a Mediterranean diet high in fruits vegetables and good fats.
Can prevent 30% of heart attacks strokes and deaths from heart disease.
Doctor -- there is an adjunct assistant professor at LSU Health Science Center in Shreveport a frequent guest of ours.
30% reduction in in -- heart attacks and heart problems.
A significant number when you consider the fact that heart disease is really the than the number one killer in the nation.
You're absolutely right John and this is the first kind of large study.
That actually proved it clinically.
In the past we had talked about the Mediterranean diet and kind of anecdotally.
Said that people that lived in that region seem to have less hard to me than we knew.
That there were good fats -- it but this study specifically looked at switching people.
To a Mediterranean diet which is.
-- boy at all.
Not -- have good fat from a lot of fish sometimes poultry very little red meat.
And even red wine itself so -- signature glass of red wine at dinner with your -- whatever whatever you're putting on the table.
Right pretty enjoyable diet to eat so.
What is it about a -- diet that that makes.
That reduces heart disease.
Well if those types of fat.
That are in olive oil or canola oil and fish the Omega three fat those are very heart healthy.
And you know this is an easier diet to stick with the strict low fat diets are kind of hard just stick -- although not everyone is convinced there are some people.
That are very pro low fat Apple's Stein Hornish they pointed out that this -- do start to these.
But it doesn't reverse that inmate claims sticking -- -- begin diet.
Will actually reverse that but again that's harder to stick to in the key -- you need to do something that's a lifelong change.
Now let's turn to another topic the incidence of whooping cough is on the rise in this country we've talked about that before.
Now we're hearing that a lot of doctors are telling adults to get immunized even if they've been immunized as children why is that.
Because well there's two reasons for that and it's very interesting.
Because it appeared even people that naturally got -- -- survived it.
They don't have this lifelong immunity they can get it again unlike may be measles or chicken pox where it's rare to get it again.
On so they're seeing that and then there's a new string that they found that actually is resistant to the vaccine we have.
So -- -- are docked at a public health measure.
You know if someone comes in and needs a tetanus shot.
I ask them the last time that they ever got a booster for tetanus and won't -- off and not give them a tetanus shot that has the won't think -- And did theory and it it's called the T -- shot instead of the regular tad bit.
But any one -- an adult that's gonna be around kids less than twelve months of age should consider getting a booster of the were hoping cough because.
It's a fatal disease in small children adults usually do.
K with that so the best way to protect kids just heartbreaking to you to watch that video of little kids on -- -- can't stand watching -- Doctor -- -- thank you.

Each represents some deep fear in the rich and complicated personality that is Bruce Wayne. Riddler, Two-Face, Ivy -- all of these characters will figure into Batman in the coming year.
CNN: So how big and dramatic is this finale? How much of an impact will it have on Batman and DC Comics' current universe?
Snyder: It has a big impact on the whole mythology of Batman, and certainly with the stories coming afterward, it will have a big effect on many of the books -- emotional and lasting effects I don't want to give away.
CNN: It feels like the stakes are being raised in superhero comics more and more in recent years, with more dramatic changes. Why do you think this is?
Snyder: It's not so much to make the books as dramatic as possible or to be shocking, but to try to tell the best story you can that feels organic.
It's not been a marching order. (My editors) say, write this character as if you had just one chance to write him; proceed that way. What if I had these six issues, what would I do to tell this story? It's exciting to have that opportunity.

Buena Vista freshman John Bral is tied for 12th overall as he and the rest of the Buena Vista men's golf team wrap up the 54-hole Twin Cities Classic hosted by Gustavus Adolphus on Monday at Elks River Golf Club.
Bral fired a career-low 2-under 70 during Friday's opening round and was tied for fourth after 18 holes, just two strokes back of the lead. He then followed with a 76 on Saturday and is tied for 12th, but is only four strokes back of the lead. He's also posted the third-best score among the four IIAC schools taking part.
Conor Dondale and Shay Kaufman each posted rounds of 80 on Friday before going 82 and 86 on Saturday. Dondale heads into his final 18 holes tied for 74th, while Kaufman is tied for 82nd.
Adam Pitts and Kyle Auffert round out the team for the Beavers. Pitts, who opened with an 85 on Friday, bounced back with an 82 on Saturday, and is tied for 84th, while Auffert, who bettered his opening-round score by six strokes on Saturday, is tied for 86th.
As a team, BVU is in 16th place among the 17 teams. Gustavus Adolphus is just two-over par as a team and leads the overall race by nine strokes over the University of Manitoba. Nebraska Wesleyan is third and 11 shots back.
The Gusties' Tyler McMorrow and the Prairie Wolves' Drew Taylor lead the medalist race at two-under par (142). Four players are tied for second at one-under, with five others just three shots back at one-over.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Rebecca Martin has stepped downĀ as executive director of the Kingston Land Trust but will remain with the non-profit group as a part-time program director.
Martin, a musician, has served as executive director of the land trust for the past two years.
In a press release, Martin said she intends to devote more time to her to music, focusing on a new CD that is expected to be released in January.
Under her leadership, the Kingston Land Trust, which has programs in the city of Kingston and towns of Ulster and Kingston, was touted as a "nationwide model for Urban Land Trusts" by the Land Trust Alliance.
Martin is responsible for launching such programs as The Dig Kids, an urban farming program; Yoga in the Park; and the development of a board of directors that now has 12 members.
She also oversaw the expansion of many of the trust's committees, including the Rail Trail, Urban Agriculture and Land Management committees, with more than 40 volunteers serving on them.
As director of programming for the Kingston Land Trust, Martin will guide rail trail and urban farming programs and submit three significant African-American historical sites for local and state landmark designations.
Recently,Ā members of the Kingston Land Trust voiced their disappointment over the city for not including a proposal for a rail trail in Kingston as part of a grant application. Instead, the city chose to apply for $2.5 million in state aid to the developer of the Hudson Landing housing project build a mile-long promenade along the Hudson River.
Kingston Mayor Shayne Gallo said the land trust had not completed a full plan to develop the rail trail. Even so, Gallo has lauded the proposed trail as an attractive idea for the city that could attract tourists and benefit residents.

I've been a golfer all my life. The weight room was never somewhere I needed to spend my time
So I had a late start and started lifting about 2.5 years ago in the spare bedroom of my apartment, hittin' up the bench press and curls about 3 times a week. It was the exact model of a confused newb's plan, didn't squat or deadlift, very little back work, no shoulder work, just worked the gunz and chest. Then I went to college about a yr. and a half ago, and hit up the weight room there. The equipment was somewhat limited but I had plenty of barbells, db's, and power racks to do work. Still wasn't doing any leg work or deadlifts though. Fast forwarding to around April or May of 09', I finally got a gym membership and started getting really serious about putting on size and strength. Now I want to just get into the best shape possible and possibly one day compete, I'm still undecided on that one. But bodybuilding means alot to me and has helped me alot in just the two years I've been into it.
Currently shooting for 3k calories @ 45/35/20 (p/c/f)
The numbers vary just depending on how I feel, progress, and whether its a rest day or training day.
Sunday: Deadlifts and Back
Monday: Shoulders, tri's
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Squats and legs
Friday: Bench and chest, bi's
Saturday: Off
Cardio 1-2 times a week but that will increase to 3-4 days soon and at least 5 days when I'm cutting. Lifting is 5/3/1 with bodybuilding template for assistance work, but this changes every 2-3 months. I've done the boring but big, triumverate (sp?), and "ain't doing jack sh!t" templates as well
Add a lot of weight to all of my lifts across the board. Short term (6 months - a year) strength goals: Bench - 275 or more, Squat - 350 or more, Deadlift- 450 or more. Not far from these and have hit all those numbers before but not consistent enough to maintain it.
Welcome to the log. Reps to followers. Link me to your log if you have ono, I'd love to follow along. I'm new to the forums and will be on here representing Beast Sports Nutrition but I also want to get to know as many lifters on here as I can. I accept any and all criticism and suggestions, speak your mind if you see something I could be doing better/different! Thanks for dropping in

Children's Programs
Our classes mix hands-on projects and plant, animal and ecosystem topics: from identifying fall leaves to papermaking and tasty treats from the Tropical Forest. Through activities and lessons with plants and natural materials, you will help to instill a respect for the environment that will last a lifetime.
Seasonal Camps
Phipps' Seasonal Camps, offered year round, connect youth ages 2 - 9 to nature, science and healthy living through fun, participatory environment-based activities—from growing and cooking their own vegetables, crafting with recycled materials, and drawing and photographing nature while exploring the Conservatory and outdoor gardens. Each camp day includes a healthy plant-related snack.
Story Time
Come to Phipps on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. or 1 p.m. for Story Time. Listen to storytellers weave tales about gardens, fruits, vegetables, garden animals and other fun things. Make a craft to take home and treasure. All are welcome!
Story Time takes place in the Discovery Garden during the warm months, and in the Gallery the rest of the year. Each session lasts from a half hour to an hour.
Join Phipps Story Club! After attending six Story Times, you'll receive a free book from The Shop at Phipps.
Visit a Discovery Table in the Conservatory for a hands-on, fun look at a specific subject. Although geared towards children, Discovery Tables provide lessons and interpretation that can be enjoyed by anyone.
Scouts & Brownies
Scouts and Brownies can visit Phipps for hands-on learning experiences about the ecosystems and plants at Phipps. Scout troops are welcome to join us at Phipps for programs on Saturdays, during holidays and school breaks when the Conservatory is open, or after school. Phipps offers programs to help fulfill Brownie Try-Its, Junior Girl Scout Badges and Cadette and Senior Interest Projects.
Junior Girl Scout Badge programs and Cadette and Senior Interest Project programs run approximately two hours, and Brownie Try-It programs run approximately one hour. Phipps will assist you in meeting your badge requirements, and scout leaders are responsible for obtaining the badges from the Girl Scout Council.
Phipps welcomes homeschooled students in groups of eight or more. Phipps school programs adapt readily to groups with a wide age range of students. Choose from any of the listed school programs for your homeschooled group.
In addition to your class, you may choose an hour long docent-led tour or a self-guided visit. On docent-led tours, trained volunteers share a wealth of knowledge about the history of Phipps and its plants, while self-guided visits allow you to move at your own pace through the Conservatory. If you are interested in a self-guided tour but would like more information about the Conservatory's plants, download a free self-guided tour map of the Conservatory.
Self-guided visits are recommended for pre-school and kindergarten groups. Docent-led tours require at least 4 weeks advanced registration and are subject to docent availability.

I think that on our Soundcraft EFX12 the microphone pre-amps for two channels are blown. This because sounds are distorted and the peak light blinks even though a solo (pfl) indicates only -20 db levels.
I think this happened because people having been plugging in a piano in that channel, directly with a rca to xlr cable and no DI / impedance transformers.
Is it correct that using a line level (low impedance) signal on the microphone preamp (low impedance input) can 'blow' the pre-amp? If yes, would using the the jack input of the channel help to prevent this in future, or is that also a low impedance input?
