Been a little while since I have hit up a log. Got 2 100ct bottles of SNS X-gels (was actually like a b-day present when it arrived last week) and have been struggling to hold off using them so far. I actually looked back at my old AM logs and really think I was delusional about my weight back in the day. I was fat compared to myself now...but I am so light lately but bigger. Scale makes no sense.
Those who know me I am pretty methodical with my supplementation but probably a little overboard quite often. I just did a whole week plus of no training and no supplements (zero not even fish oil) after my competition just for more of a mental break than anything. Felt odd not popping any pills but w/e. Going to try and keep this relatively tame other than the X-gels (focus of the log).
Staple-like products (used for entire duration of log):
Aqua Red: 3 pills per day with final meal. May opt out of taking them on days I eat some fatty fish.
Cissus XT: 4 caps per day (not a regular staple but trying to be preventative for now).
MAN Clout (ALCAR version): 1 scoop upon waking. This will be the last of my stash of this. Using for all the benefits of the ALCAR, NAC, Mag., plus the other goodies in it (use those regularly so it is convenient all in one).
SAN Dr. Feel-Good: 4-8 caps upon waking. Not sure the last time I even took a multi, but got some of this in a trade and the cognitive ingredients intrigued me, hoping it will give a nice morning boost with the ALCAR and maybe help me hold off some stim use for morning time.
Gut Health: 1 cap with last meal of the day.
Finally sunny and warm (most days) so I will try to get plenty of sunlight but may take some VitD if I don't make it out much.
The Good Stuff:
SNS X-gels w/Glycergrow and Carnitine: 2g pre-workout. Going either PLCAR until out of my SNS then either ALCAR or LCLT.
~Weeks 1-4: Omega Sports Burn24. Was using this the month prior to my break and planned to continue it for this log. 2 caps before 3 meals per day.
Current Pre-workout Brew:
This will make more sense after I lay out the training as they will be used based on that (at least it gives me a nice way to take a break from each ).
Weeks 1: Got a bunch of samples I need to try and should probably review. Since the X-gels won't really kick in in the first week or so I don't feel it should be too confounding. Have Athletix stim and non-stim samples and SAN Fierce I will definitely try and maybe some SAN Launch powder (wish it was pills tho).
Volume Blocks: Enhanced at 1-2 scoops, usually 1.5. For the pumps and endurance bros (combined with the ArA and GMS I might blow up).
Intensity Blocks: App Nut Uncut. 2-3 caps, usually 2. Change it up and for the strength bros, also need to put up a final review before dewey disowns me.
Will also be having ~5g Leucine mixed in with whatever I am taking as well.
So seems like a lot but once the ArA kicks in I will be using only Enhanced or Uncut + GMS/Leucine/Carnitine and have used them all extensively together before so shouldn't be too confounding on variables.
**As usual I am addicted to Alphamine and will TRY to avoid morning doses of it for as long as possible, but I will probably give in eventually.
Writing that all out sounds like a ton. Any suggestions to cut anything out I'll listen to but idk if I will abide.
Hasn't been too long since my last log so not a ton for in here. I competed in April in my first Powerlifting competition and LOVED it. Going to focus on competing again as my main objective for now.
The comp was kind of last minute for me but figured I needed to stop making excuses. I was in the middle of a cut so I am currently around 160-165lbs (was 160lbs with no food in me the morning of the meet but a ton of guys said the scale seemed light, but you know no one wanted to complain about that). So numbers weren't huge improvements over where I have been but definitely improvements at that bodyweight (minus my horrible benching experience, I don't want to talk about it....):
Bench: 205lbs
Squat: 385lbs
DL: 415lbs
Have vid of all but the bench. Somehow missed my only good (or passing since it was so poor) attempt at the meet. Went 7/9 so made everything else.
Spent the time off finalizing some Reactive Training Systems reading. Been wanting to give it a go for awhile but wanted to finish up some Cube and do the meet first. While I really liked the Cube and 531 the stuff in the RT Manual really hits a certain part of me that just makes sense to me. It is kind of the way I already feel about some things and do them so it kind of reinforced certain thoughts. Either way this first two weeks will be a transitional period before what will probably be a volume block to really start (finalizing exact details right now). I am doing the first two weeks of a John Meadows program I own just for the complete change of pace, to do something totally different from my last year of training, and prepare for starting RT. The ArA probably won't kick in until sometime next week anyway so just biding my time until then and getting some conditioning up.
Weeks 1-2:
Monday: Chest/Shoulders
Tuesday: GPP/Prehab/Off
Wednesday: Back
Thursday: Gpp/Prehab/Off
Friday: Arms
Saturday: Legs/Off/GPP
Sunday: Legs/Off/GPP
Saturday and Sunday are going to change depending on availability. Will edit changes when programming shifts.
The usual. Currently around ~2900 on training days (~225g PRO/~275g CHO/~90g FAT) and 2500 on off days (225g PRO/175g CHO/100g FAT) or something close to that. Most of the carbs come at night and post workout. Usually busy almost all day long so kind of save up to load up on a big meal at night when I can actually cook something nice and not be on the go.
Strength is the main goal for now. I have run ArA extensively and usually use it as a body comp potentiator, so focusing on its strength effects should be interesting. It does tend to do this but on a full strength program I am interested to fully measure things.
-Also want to keep body fat and weight to moderate increases (~2lbs per month of weight gain is the goal). I want strength to be more than just increasing with the weight gain if possible. Not going to limit calories if I feel they needed to be increased for added recovery but I never really shovel food down for the sake of it anyways.
-Have used countless ArA bottles so seeing how this works I should have an idea, but always nice to have it fully written and logged for tracking purposes.
Phew....always a task when I start up a log and hope that covers everything. Pics will be kept but may not get posted. Full aesthetic improvement isn't the driving factor so more than likely videos of improvements in lifts will be thrown up and if it really astounds me THEN pics will follow. Feel free to harrass me if I missed something, otherwise here we go!

Forum Index » GEAR » Why gray? A completely superfluous question about silnylon shelters.
Its not dreary. Lighter inside.I think we'll have to agree to disagree. Brighter yes, but the quality of the light is exactly like a gray rainy sky, imo. For stealth in forests or moors Id prefer the 'forage' green like Hilleberg and Terra Nova use( And SMD on the gatewood).I do like that color despite the lower light transmission. Hilleberg pairs it with the a yellow inner which probably brightens it up a bit.Yellow sucks if insects are an issue. Horticultural sticky traps are yellow as it's the best for attracting flies....I'm aware of this issue but haven't experienced it myself. A bummer since the sunshine yellow MLD uses attracts me as well...
We have experimented with a lot of different colors before settling on forest green and grizzly brown. Brighter colors such as yellow will attract a lot more bugs. This was apparent on a trip in which I had a combo colored tent. Brown is actually very pleasant inside as is forest green. Brown actually feels a lot lighter inside than it looks from the outside Gray or Silver is not bad but not great. I really like Tan myself but it has not been a great seller. Purple and Dark Blue are pretty good as well.
remember for proper usage:gray (A if you are in america)grey (E if you are in Englad)i personally like gray. i'm not a huge fan of the color green or brown. my 3 hammocks and the 4 quilts i own are black or black and gray. tarp = dark gray cuben. i don't konw what people are doing that they are complaining of dreariness inside. i wake up, make coffee, sit in my hammock and have my coffee, then pack up and hike.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
A few people have told me that gray is not very stealth.I live in the North East US. The rocks hear are basically different shades of grey.I also have other colors of shelters.I can pitch a gray shelter any time of year and it will blend in with the gray rocks.My green shelter stands out in the winter, my white shelter stands out in the summer.Yellow and red stands out in all seasons except certain parts of the fall or during a sunset.A black shelter is pretty stealth when the sun is low on the horizon, it looks like a shadow, but gets very hot when the sun shines on it.Blue is always visible. It looks like a hobo tarp which always attracts attention.Stealth is the game where I live. Too many places where either camping is illegal or you just don't know if it's legal, or maybe you don't want to attract the attention of the locals.Camping is legal in the Catskills as long as a ranger can't see your camp. This is becoming more true in other places as well.There are rocks in Rocksylvania too, but the majority of camping areas are forested. Green is good in the summer. Brown is probably better for all-season use. The shade of green affects the stealth factor, too. Darker is better. My hammock tarp is too bright a green to be stealthy, but it's at least less conspicuous than my bright purple hammock. For more northerly parts of the northeast, I think your argument for gray is sound.

Wild.Brown is actually very pleasant inside as is forest green. Brown actually feels a lot lighter inside than it looks from the outside I have a stock tarp from Henessey in their usual brown and I agree. It's not a bad quality light and is pretty stealthy from the outside.

My vote is for Dirty Girl Gaiters to transition into the tarp business so I can buy a Lime Gaiter-Ade Hurl tarp from them.
Edited by IDBLOOM on 02/19/2013 08:33:47 MST.
Light color will likely experience fewer condensation problems than a dark color.Condensation occurs when the temperature of the tarp drops lower than the dew point.This happens very often when the tarp is pitched in an open area without any tree/leaf cover, as we know. One of the reasons for this is that the leaf cover blocks the direct route for IR radiation emission to dissipate into the blackness of space. Most know that pitching in the open is to be avoided if we want to help avoid condensation.Lighter colors generally have lower IR emissivity than dark colors, and the same could be said for IR absorption, and most know that a black color absorbs heat quickly and cools off quickly. The same is true for other dark colors, in general.A light colored tarp with lower IR emissivity will have less problems with condensation at night than a dark colored tarp, for these reasons.But it will not be a cure for condensation. It may give a reduction, or may prevent it in some instances where it was borderline, and the reduced IR emissivity made enough difference to keep it over the dew point.
"Or just pick one from these two colour charts :"I like Band of Gold. Mostly so I can sing the old tune of the same name while ensconced under my Band of Gold-colored shelter. And I'd sing it loud, too. Late at night.All that's left is this band of gold, all that's left of the dreams I hold, is a band of gold, and the memories of what love could be,if you are still here with me...... Ah, they don't write 'em like that anymore.....
Personally, I like to be hidden. Camo in the meadow.
Grey is defined as a neutral or achromatic "colour".Achromatic means "without colour" so many will refer to it as a shade not a colour.In photography the neutrality of grey is emphasised by a series of filters called Neutral Density.Their use is to cut the intensity of light without changing the colour.So for example an ND2 will cut one stop or half of the light entering the lens.This means that the closer a shelter is to a standard grey ,the lesser the change in the hue transmitted from outside to inside.In other words all shelters that have a colour (not black,white or grey) do in fact alter the type of light passing through it.This is an ND2 filter:This is an 18% grey card designed to measure the intensity of light as well as for colour calibration :Just for fun, here is a better version of that stolen from the net image :not the best but the black/white and grey cards helped me getting there"BTW, in the English speaking world , not just England, the word is grey, only in the US the usage of gray is the more accepted one.

Yeah, the ho-hum grey silnylon in my Copper Spur isn't "bad", but it's the one part of the tent I had to get most used-to when I had to hunker down in a daylight storm. From the inside, I'm used to the pleasing texture of the ToddTex yellow lining of my former tent, and I admit to much preferring the green outer color of the Bibler to the gray demeanor of the Big Agnes. The silnylon transmits more light, but it does cast a dreary tone, even though BA puts some warmth into the color tone of the fly.If I were to buck-up for one of them there fancy tarp-tents or a backpack made with uber-fibers, I'd certainly also opt for better colours than grae (hey, look a third spelling!).
"Remember for proper usage:gray (A if you are in america)grey (E if you are in England)"I'll remember that next time I see a Greyhound bus. ;-)
I think the gray is fine for 3-season use but what I wish for is a Stratospire 2 with yellow/gold fly so I could use the fly for spring snow camping. Grey is not visible enough for me in a blizzard if I want to leave the tent for an excursion and find my way back to it readily.
It's about money.Because the quality of silnylon is all over the walk, and due to US environmental restrictions on silcoating, the most waterproof stuff comes from Asia (although the nylon is usually DuPont - where are their factories?-no idea). Check this out in Richard Nisley's water resistance tests on this and the MYOG forums. A large minimum order of silnylon in '28 different flavors' from Asia would put any cottage manufacturer quickly out of business. And the larger mfgrs. who outsource to Asia don't choose to offer much choice to customers, either. They're about money also.And as you can see from this thread, people are all over the walk also about color preferences, for a mutitude of both aesthetic and (supposed) practical reasons.So a medium gray(grey) runs into the least resistance from customers, and therefore has to be the color choice, or at least one of a few choices, for smaller mfgrs. to stay in business.Personally, I like light emerald greens; but choosing between building a much better quality shelter or getting my color choice as a MYOGer is a no-brainer. So I'll take anything that doesn't make the shelter into a dark and dreary cave or a bright and garish eyesore. A medium grey/gray seems to be what sells the most for the mfgrs. They ought to know. But I'll never understand the appeal of the darker shades, be they in grey/gray, green or brown, for shelters. And probably there are many out there who will never understand the appeal of the light emerald to me. For more discussion on this perplexing issue, you can look at a MYOG thread begun by yours truly at: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=73002
Since I touched on this at another forum ,I might as well mention it here too.Most UL manufacturers produce tarps or single wall tents.The light coming through will reflect that colour (or not if achromatic ,white to black)When a particular colour becomes prominent , our brain counteracts that by introducing the complimentary colour so that we think we see neutral colours (neutral as in how they look to us on a sunny day (around 5500 kelvin if you like)So what happens is that if the light coming through is red (red fly) the brain introduces green (its complimentary colour) so when you go outside for a while you will see everything with a green cast.The same applies to any colour except for the achromatic ones (white ,grey and black)

The Wine: I'm going to have to confess something to you all, I really haven't had that many single varietal Syrahs before. I've had several hand fulls of blends with Syrah in it, but I've mainly had experiences with Petite Sirah. I reached out to my buddy Jeff over at VivaLaWino pointing him towards this wine as one to try because he has a lot tasting experience of French wines and Syrah is heavily used varietal in places like the Rhone Valley or Chateauneuf du Pape. So I'm curious to hear Jeff's thoughts on this wine. So tonight I thought I'd write a review on a varietal I don't know that much about solely based on how I enjoyed this wine. Sound OK?
The Experience:
Color: An incredibly vibrant violet. This wine looks young, yet it's a 2008.
Nose: Right out of the bottle and into the glass this wine presents a candy like nose of ripe berries and some vanilla. This reminds me a Gamay or Beaujolais Nouveau; the fruit is just popping on the nose here. Kinda cool.
Palate: The first thing I wrote about this wine was not the fruit which moves from the nose to the palate, but rather how dry this wine left my palate, wow. It wasn't as intense as Petite Sirah can be, but definitely left a chalky feeling in my mouth; which is not a bad thing when paired with food! The finish lingers with notes of ripe red fruit and vanilla. The finish is kinda flabby and not 'crisp' tight with acid and tannins making a 'tight' wine; some could say this wine lacks 'focus', but that's alright. I really like this wine has a lower alcohol content of 13.8%, meaning my tongue isn't burning nor is the alcohol used as a substitute for tannins. I'm very much enjoying this wine with my stew.
Bottom Line: Buy-Half-Case
This is a Trader Joe's Hustle Buy; meaning it's not going to be around forever. I think this is definitely a wine worth picking up several bottles, especially at the $6 price point. It's a great daily drinker or one to pull out this summer when barbecuing. I liked this wine A LOT more on the second day after opening and pairing with a hearty stew. The 'breathing' time really allowed this wine to come together in a much more approachable way than out of the bottle. If you have a decanter, use on this. Or even consider laying a few bottles away for a few years. Did I mention this is an Estate Wine? For $6? Get this wine and please do share your thoughts!
Wine Info:
- Price: $6
- Alcohol: 13.8%
- Appellation: San Lucas, Monterey County
- Estate Wine

A man who enjoys living in the past is having a hard time dealing with the present in this comedy from the UK. Richard (Eddie Marsan) spends his days dealing with cranky customers at a big-box home improvement store, but on weekends he becomes a fearsome Viking warrior with a local role-playing group called the Bloody Broadswords. Richard and his best friend Julian (Ewen Bremner) help the group recreate centuries-old battles with all the realism their limited finances can muster, but Richard's wife Cath (Jessica Hynes) has lost her patience with him spending so much time with the Broadswords and so little time around the house. Richard's son Martin (Joseph Hamilton) is also grown tired of being dragged along to mock battles that earn him the ridicule of his schoolmates, even if his almost girlfriend Emily (Chloe Hesar) approves. Eventually, Cath gives Richard his walking papers, and while he tries to win her back, the fact she soon starts dating Gary (Paul Nicholls), Martin's gym coach, suggests he has a tough battle ahead of him. Meanwhile, Julian is having better luck in his love life when his girlfriend Maggie (Bronagh Gallagher) asks him to move in with her, but Julian's mother isn't pleased to learn he's finally leaving home. Faintheart was directed by Vito Rocco and written by Rocco and David Lemon, who documented the production and sought input from film fans via the social networking internet site MySpace. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

World of Pub [TV Series]
Based on a BBC radio series of the same name, the British TV sitcom World of Pub starred Phil Cornwell and Peter Serafinowicz as Barry and Garry, the owners of the single most unsuccessful public house (or bar) in London's East End. In their efforts to improve what little business they had, Barry and Garry were susceptible to the outrageous promotional schemes of their buddy Dodgy Phil (Kevin Eldon). These schemes, which ran the gamut from a chug-a-lug competition to transforming the pub into a Michael Caine-themed establishment, were invariably doomed to hilarious failure. The TV version of World of Pub ran for six episodes, from June 24 to July 29, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Law & Order: Gunshow
Law & Order launched its tenth season with still another addition to the cast: former Ally McBeal regular Jesse L. Martin as detective Eddie Green, newest partner of series stalwart Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach). This episode acknowledges the devastating impact of the Columbine tragedy, opening with a Central Park shooting spree in which several female medical students are killed or injured. Once the detectives have traced the weapon, A.D.A. Sam McCoy (Sam Waterston) goes after two perpetrators: the man who pulled the trigger, and the manufacturer of the weapon. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Law & Order: Sideshow
The then-current efforts to impeach President Bill Clinton were clearly the inspiration of this episode, the first in a two-part story. A Baltimore official is murdered in New York's Battery Park, compelling the NYPD's Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) to work side by side with Baltimore homicide cops John Munch (Richard Belzer) and Rene Sheppard (Michael Michele). It turns out that the victim was killed on Munch and Sheppard's home turf before being dumped in Briscoe and Curtis' backyard. The ensuing investigation involves a high-level Washington cover-up, a lesbian romance, and an FBI-protected witness, culminating in a clash between ADA Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) and duplicitous Independent Counsel William Dell (George Hearn, who, coincidentally, bears a strong physical resemblance to the redoubtable Kenneth Starr). This two-parter was Law & Order's third and final crossover with the NBC crime drama Homicide: Life on the Street; the conclusion originally aired as an installment of Homicide February 19, 1999. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Law & Order: Cherished
Angie Harmon joins the cast as A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael in the opening episode of Law & Order's ninth season. The focus is on the "ethics" of foreign adoptions, and the catalyst is the suspicious death of a baby girl. The detectives are puzzled by the secretive attitude of the infant's parents, who won't allow the authorities into their apartment. Once this matter is settled, the D.A.'s office sets its sights on Russian doctor Andre Kostov (Victor Steinbach), who for a price has been farming out unhealthy children for adoption in the U.S. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A top London cop who is so good at his job that he makes his fellow officers look like slackers by comparison is "promoted" to serve in the sleepy village of Sandford in this contemporary action comedy from the creators of Shaun of the Dead. Police constable Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) always gets his man, but these days his impeccable record seems to be more indicative of his fellow officers' shortcomings than his own formidable skills as a keeper of the peace. Loathe to stand idly by as their once respectable track record is steadily soiled by the hyper-competent actions of one lone overachiever, Sergeant Angel's superiors at the Met soon determine to remedy their problem by relocating the decorated constable to the West Country village of Sanford -- where tranquil garden parties and neighborhood watch meetings stand in stark contrast to the violent crime and heated gunplay of the city. As Sergeant Angel does his best to adjust to the relative calm of his new environment, his oafish new partner Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) strives to gain the respect of his fellow constables while sustaining himself on fantasies of his favorite action films and police shows. Later, just as it begins to appear as if Sergeant Angel has been relegated to an uneventful existence in the relative calm of the countryside, a series of horrific "accidents" lead him to suspect that the tranquil hamlet of Sanford has fallen prey to a sinister plot which reeks of foul play. Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, Steve Coogan, and Martin Freeman co-star in the Edgar Wright film. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Brian Selznick's award-winning novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret stars Asa Butterfield, as an orphan boy who lives in a Parisian train station. Sent to live with his drunken uncle after his father's death in a fire, Hugo learned how to wind the massive clocks that run throughout the station. When the uncle disappears one day, Hugo decides to maintain the clocks on his own, hoping nobody will catch on to him squatting in the station.
His natural aptitude for engineering leads him to steal gears, tools, and other items from a toy-shop owner who maintains a storefront in the station. Hugo needs these purloined pieces in order to rebuild a mechanical man that was left in the father's care at the museum -- the restoration was a project father and son did together.
When Georges (Ben Kingsley), the old man who runs the toy stand, catches on to the thievery, he threatens to turn Hugo over to the station's lone police officer (Sacha Baron Cohen, who makes every effort to send any parentless child in the station to the orphanage. But Hugo's run-in with Georges leads to a friendship with the elderly gentleman's goddaughter, Isabelle (Chloe Grace Moretz), who unknowingly possesses the last item Hugo needs to make the mechanical man work again.

Director Tim Burton brings his unique vision and sensibility to Roald Dahl's classic children's story in this lavish screen interpretation. Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) is the secretive and wildly imaginative man behind the world's most celebrated candy company, and while the Wonka factory is famously closed to visitors, the reclusive candy man decides to give five lucky children a chance to see the inside of his operation by placing "golden tickets" in five randomly selected chocolate bars. Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), whose poor but loving family lives literally in the shadow of the Wonka factory, is lucky enough to obtain one of the tickets, and Charlie, escorted by his Grandpa Joe (David Kelly), is in for the ride of a lifetime as he tours the strange and remarkable world of Wonka with fellow winners, media-obsessed Mike Teavee (Jordan Fry), harsh and greedy Veruca Salt (Julia Winter), gluttonous Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegratz), and ultra-competitive Violet Beauregarde (AnnaSophia Robb). Over the course of the day, some of the children will learn difficult lessons about themselves, and one will go on to become Wonka's new right hand. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory also stars Christopher Lee, James Fox, and Noah Taylor; the book was famously adapted to the screen before in 1971 under the title Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, with Gene Wilder as the eccentric candy tycoon. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Fernanda's International Market, a treasure trove of rare ingredients and made-to-order gourmet sandwiches, bakes robust breads and fine pastries. Among a troop of hearty sandwiches, the Martorano ($8.99) stands out for its spicy temper and muscular blend of sopressata and cappacola meats. The Churchill ($8.99) loads its taste gun with Branston pickle relish and fights hunger pangs on ham-coated beaches, cheddar cheese fields, and hot mustard streets. Fernanda's also sells prepared food by the pound and hard-to-find international groceries like Thai lemon grass.
Montreal native Tony Bianco teamed up with executive chef Enzo Addario to create Hot Tomatoe, a traditional Italian bistro boasting a menu that brims with house-made, cooked-to-order pastas, flavorful meat dishes, and full- and light-bodied Italian wines. Their regional cuisine typically integrates up to seven essential ingredients—oil, garlic, basil, tomatoes, pasta, and olives—from which Snow White's seven dwarves drew their names. In addition, the staff goes shopping for fresh ingredients three to four days a week to supplement both seasonal compositions and year-round dishes, which include veal parmigiana, filet mignon, and penne norma.
microbrews to complement its Italian-American bistro-style menu. Brewmaster Fran Andrewlevich—whose past work has won gold and silver medals at the Great American Beer Festival—whips up lagers, pilsners, and seasonal beers right onsite. In the open kitchen, chefs feed flatbread bruschetta and hand-stretched pizza dough to a hungry brick oven, and craft ranch burgers filled with Angus beef, bacon, monterey jack cheese, and dreams of running away to join the circus concession stand.
It took the owners of Vino DeSantis six months to find the right setting to host their vino emporium. Their diligence paid off. Today, their Coral Springs location houses more than 1,200 different varieties in a combination shop and tasting room lit by a warm, incandescent glow. The shop is also home to an Enomatic wine system, a space-age wine-delivery device that can hold 72 bottles of wine and automatically dispense 1-, 2-, or 4-ounce servings of that day's offerings. With no more machines to install or fixtures to set up, the staff is now free to build the community's knowledge of wine during tastings augmented by complimentary cheeses, breads, and compliments.
Anthony DeMaio and Domenick Falcione's culinary venture, Mojo, reflects the partners' shared ideology of providing a feast for all the senses. When Falcione isn't busy festooning the dining room's walls with his abstract mixed-media artwork, he dons an executive-chef hat and concocts the restaurant's menu of inventive international cuisine. In an interview with the Sun Sentinel, he describes his approach to art and cooking: "I believe food is a feast for your senses, eyes, nose, taste buds and your soul. For plate presentation, I use the colors and positioning of the food, which is similar to when I paint on the canvas."
Falcione creates these aesthetically pleasing dishes with organic grains and vegetables, Lock Duart salmon, free-range chicken, and local, seasonal ingredients. His entrees blend French, Italian, and Asian flavors and preparations, and his housemade desserts include the popular flourless chocolate-espresso torte.
His passion for beauty is also apparent when examining Mojo's sleek, ultramodern décor. Once guests enter the restaurant's stainless-steel doors, they're surrounded by crisp, white tables and chairs, striped teal banquettes, white orchids, and chandeliers adorned with rows of peacock feathers.
Shooters Waterfront Cafe USA showcases vistas of the intracoastal waterway as servers ferry plates of fresh seafood, burgers, and sandwiches to outdoor tables. Boat docking with valet assistance allows diners to pull up to the waterfront eatery after a day spent negotiating record deals with musically gifted whales. Shooters serves drinks on an outdoor patio, while their swimming pool allows guests to mimic those musical whales. On the weekends, a raw-food bar lures seafood lovers with fresh-caught oysters, clams, shrimp, and crab legs.

Angela Pinches entered no contest pleas Friday in Mendocino County Superior Court on charges of maintaining a place for the unlawful use or sale of marijuana, a felony, and misdemeanor child endangerment. Sentencing is scheduled for August 1.
The charges originated from a raid on Pinches Redwood Valley home in September 2011 where agents removed 182 marijuana plants. The raid began, according to police, when a deputy spotted Pinches driving a pickup with children riding in the truck bed. During the traffic stop she did not have her driver's license with her and the deputy followed her to her trailer in the Valley Oaks area of Redwood Valley for her to get it. While parked in front of the trailer the deputy counted 76 plants growing in the yard, most fully budded. A follow up raid located an additional group of smaller plants growing in the shed. Officers removed all but 25 mature plants during the follow up raid.
After an investigation by the Mendocino County District Attorney's Office, Pinches was charged with possessing marijuana for sale and maintaining a place for cultivation in January.
In April she was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment after her 2-year-old daughter was spotted by neighbors wandering unattended and naked in their yard. Pinches had left the youngster and her 9-year old son alone in her trailer with only a lit oven for heat. She was also arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance but after subsequent drug tests returned with mixed results the district attorney dropped these charges.
Pinches is the daughter of Third District Supervisor John Pinches.

Sophie Theallet for Nine West Page 1
PHOTOS: The 5 Most Noteworthy Shoes In History
From the world's oldest shoe to the very first pair of stiletto heels, we present the most important shoes in footwear history.
Editor's Pick: Sophie Theallet's Emma Satchel For Nine West
Yes, shoes are great and all, but they're nothing without bags. Well, it's an apples and oranges comparison, really, but you get what we're trying to say: Bags are really important parts of our wardrobes, so Sophie Theallet was sure to make some really great purses to go along with the shoes she created for Nine West.
5 Of The Best Shoe Blogs On The Web
Sophie Theallet's collection of shoes and bags for Nine West inspired us to seek out the very best in people who write about shoes online, and we think we've found the five best of the bunch. Take a look at our favorite shoe blogs, below.
Sophie Theallet Reveals The Inspiration Behind Her Nine West Bracelet
Sophie Theallet's collection for Nine West is about more than just shoes and bags — there's also jewelry! The gold and pink charm bracelet she designed is not only cute, the charms hold significance, too. Her initials are on there, as is a miniature Eiffel Tower to signal her love for Paris.
Summer Chic In Sophie Theallet For Nine West
For us, summer is all about ease, and one of the great things about Sophie Theallet's collection for Nine West is that all of its elements are easy to wear — to say nothing of the fact that that mixes in with things we already wear. For a trip to the beach or a casual [...]
How To Be A Francophile In New York City
Though Sophie Theallet started her career in Paris, she now calls New York City home. She loves New York, but can you blame her for missing the French capital every once in a while? We happen to be Francophiles here at New York-based Styleite, so we have a few tips about how to experience a little bit of the City of Light in the Big Apple.
WATCH: Sophie Theallet On Her Love Affair With The City Of Light
Sophie Theallet moved to Paris as a student when she was 18, and she was instantly taken with the city. It was there she received her first big fashion break, landing a gig with Jean Paul Gaultier. She later worked for Alaïa in Paris before landing in New York.
One Day, Two Parties With Sophie Theallet And Nine West
It would be a tough call, really, if we were ever faced with having to decide between living in Paris or New York City, but Sophie Theallet doesn't have that problem. The French-born, New York-based designer gets to live between the City of Lights and the Big Apple — but when she's in New York, Theallet stays in Brooklyn.
13 Fun Places To Eat, Stay, Shop And Learn In New York City
We here at Styleite are pretty proud to live in New York City, one half of the inspiration behind Sophie Theallet's collection for Nine West. But if you've never been here before, there are a few places you simply must go — and a few things you simply must do — in order to get the full experience of the city. We've put together a handy little map of our town to help you understand Theallet's inspiration — and maybe even get a little inspired yourself.
Editor's Pick: Sophie Theallet For Nine West's Tinna Espadrille Sandal
What do you do when you want to wear heels, but also want to be able to walk? Add a platform and an ankle strap, and make sure your heel is chunky! Sophie Theallet's Tinna espadrilles sandals for Nine West give you quite a boost — five inches worth! — while making sure you don't topple over. And did we mention how cute they are? A bow and fray-detailing in a great print make these a must.
Wearing Sophie Theallet's Nine West Collection With Your Wardrobe
One of the coolest things about Sophie Theallet's collection for Nine West is how seamlessly its pieces can work into the wardrobe you already have. Case in point: the Emma Satchel in black woven straw has a classic shape and a really summery feel — so you could wear it with almost anything when the weather heats up.
Which City Is Chicest? New York & Paris Duke It Out!
Both New York and Paris are considered world fashion capitals, and both cities are near and dear to designer Sophie Theallet's heart. But which city is chicest?
WATCH: Sophie Theallet On Her Nine West Design Inspiration
Sophie Theallet's collection for Nine West will be in stores in a matter of weeks, and the designer took some time to explain her design inspiration. It's not just a collection based on the differences between Paris and New York — it's based on the way women in each city live their lives. Both cities are chic and timeless and filled with adventure, but Theallet managed to distill both the similarities and the differences of the City of Lights and the Big Apple into one cohesive collection. And with everything both places have to offer, that can't have been an easy thing to do. And somehow, Theallet made it look so, so easy.
PHOTOS: 7 Movies About Shoes You Need To See
We here at Styleite love shoes. We also love movies. So it's no surprise that some of our favorite movies are about shoes. We're actually a little miffed that there aren't more movies about shoes, but that's another post for another day. Today, inspired by some of the beautiful shoes in Sophie Theallet's spring collection for Nine West, we'd like to share some of our favorite shoe-movies with you.

Barb Keyser, 75, clears her driveway in Pataskala. Most of the snowfall predictions were accurate yesterday — the region got between 2 and 4 inches, with the heaviest totals in Worthington and Bellefontaine.
A few inches of snow yesterday turned roadways into a slushy, icy mess for central Ohio drivers and might have been responsible for at least one deadly crash.
As powdery snow fell in the morning, frigid temperatures fought off the effects of salt, causing drivers to slip on the freeways, which then turned from slush to ice in the evening.
Central Ohio got between 2 and 4 inches of snow, according to meteorologist Chris Bradley of WBNS-TV (Channel 10). It tapered off before 3 p.m., lifting the winter weather advisory that had been in effect for Franklin and surrounding counties.
Law enforcement dealt with dozens of crashes throughout the day, and Columbus police responded only to injury crashes. Wet, slushy pavement might have contributed to a fatal crash about 3:30 p.m. in Fayette County, said Chief Deputy David A. Bivens of the Fayette County sheriff's office. Phyllis L. Rea, 63, of Ross County, was driving north on Rt. 753 when she lost control of her van, spun into a ditch and hit a stand of trees.
About 11 a.m. in Union County, the driver of a sport-utility vehicle was killed in a collision with a tractor-trailer. The SUV was southbound on Rt. 31 when it veered into the path of the Freightliner semi, according to the Marysville post of the State Highway Patrol. The name of the 32-year-old man killed was not being released until his family could be notified, the patrol said.
In Franklin County, a single-vehicle crash left a 7-year-old boy in critical condition. The minivan driven by the boy's mother veered off Hall Road between Bolton Avenue and Auto Mall Drive, rolled over and crashed into trees, Columbus police said. The boy was ejected from the minivan. Police had not released the name of the boy or his mother.
Afternoon traffic was backed up in the southbound lanes of I-270 in Dublin for about four hours after a semi jackknifed about 3:42 p.m. south of Rt. 33 and leaked diesel fuel onto the roadway.
The Ohio Department of Transportation had 124 trucks plowing and salting interstates, state and U.S. routes in eight local counties, said District 6 spokeswoman Nancy Burton. Columbus said it had 51 plows clearing streets and roads overnight.
Yesterday's snow accumulations were mostly as forecast. Delaware saw 3 inches of snow, while Worthington and Bellefontaine got 4.
The weekend weather is expected to be quiet, Bradley said, until Sunday evening, when some freezing rain could come in.
"It could be ... a little tricky getting to work Monday morning," he said, but then temperatures are expected to reach 50 degrees by Tuesday.

Embrace flat design
In Bootstrap 3, it begins to embrace flat design. First from the official webpage of Bootstrap 3, we can find elements are flat designed. Also, all buttons have no box shadows now, they are flat and simple. But the flat design is not complete, in some components, we still can see box shadows such as in drop down menus. Not sure whether they will adopt complete flat design in the final release of Bootstrap 3, but it should be the trend.
Mobile first
In Bootstrap 3, mobile device support is built into the library:
With Bootstrap 2, we added optional mobile friendly styles for key aspects of the framework. With Bootstrap 3, we've rewritten the project to be mobile friendly from the start. Instead of adding on optional mobile styles, they're baked right into the core. In fact, Bootstrap is mobile first. Mobile first styles can be found throughout the entire library instead of in separate files.
With the responsive design, your pages can be displayed on different devices properly...

SMF Development > Applied or Declined Requests
After 'Report post' limit, post becomes unapproved
Seems I cant post in feature requests or next smf discussion so I put here.
I prefer to leave 1 board guest activity board and another used as a contactus board open for guest posting. There is captcha and spam questions but individuals regularly leave spam or their own business advertising links without permission.
If admin is away then other regular group users cannot see unapproved posts to reply to. If I leave boards open then there is spam. I don't have/want moderators but a system to allow normal user groups to judge posts would be a good.
If they reported a post and admin had an option to set the number of reports as a trigger (say 3 times reported) to make the post unapproved it would be a big help. Regular users often will help clean up by simply reporting it - its a huge resource pool that could be tapped into to get spam 'invisible' and on a moderation unapproved list.
If a few members report it then it probably is spam.
You should have permission to post in both of those boards. Are you not seeing the "New Topic" button there?
Last time I logged in and looked around carefully I couldnt post in those boards it seems - no new topic button visible.
Feature request and next SMF.
Donno why. I logged out/logged in again but the same.
If selected (admin settable) groups users report a post and it reaches an admin limit (settable), say 3 reports, then it automatically becomes an unapproved post and not visible.
A way of using average board users to automatically clean up some spam.
That's not a bad idea...
The post moderation could be improved in several ways, one that is still in my to-do list is to be able to define certain "conditions" for the posts to be posted as approved (like no more than x links, no more than x words, no more frequently than x posts per minute over a certain amount of time, etc.) and otherwise kept as unapproved (maybe linked to the number of posts of the user).
I guess it's more like a mod material than a feature. Also, it could be easily abused, it's way too easy to get few folks to report something.
I've had an idea once, that if a post is reported more than once, it should be "bumped" on the reported posts lists, this would work well in a big forums, where a lot content is published and sometimes mods are dealing with the report looking on the time/date.

Fact is Tea Party years are spent but that does not mean that there's still -- doing.
Just as these folks it's easier -- and mark Macklin.
Katrina not happy and obviously -- -- a lot of tea parties you obviously did vote for speaker Boehner but many taping styles how to give.
Yet it's it's all just a big huge mess but he Danielle I'm gonna have to tell you like the new senator from Texas at last night Ted -- Politics turn on a dime I'm just really excited tea parties out there and involved -- looking forward we're just gonna have to -- ended the same all same model.
You know obvious I had hello -- -- on the Republican congressman from Texas market and you know you didn't vote for the speaker at whatever arguments he used is that he just couldn't -- his conscience vote for -- -- like the guy and I asked him whether he was.
Fearing that he might be punished you know.
Off the committee and running the janitorial closet I was -- but his point was.
There has been retribution for bucking the leadership.
Our Tea Party years in that position now we're just because they -- the leadership -- fought the leadership.
On on these -- issues there's going to be hell to pay for them.
I mean we think so we've certainly seen it in the -- and that's really that's the normal way of congress go along with the leadership forget -- so.
I would expect to see the same in the future.
Thank god -- people actually like Louis Gilbert who stand up and vote their conscience it's outrageous that we have to say well there are few of them it should be all of them voting America.
Well they're not doing that I guess what I've got to wonder if you think about it Katrina it was the Tea Party movement.
And -- 83 congressmen and women who came with a two years ago.
That enabled John -- to become speaker of the house -- -- thank you two years later to all but put them to past.
Well kids and -- they tell us welcome to politics but here's the thing.
We live in a republic this is not a democracy and a lot at least keep our republic there will always be a movement of liberty in this country.
Any time the government overstepped their boundaries at this current administration is doing.
You won't have people like the Tea Party which just happens to be the name of the liberty movement up today.
Bit this is normal this is on our heritage and I'm thrilled.
That we do see who these people really are because and it is people like me.
Hope to fight more XLX more people like -- -- might add.
And so we've had some wins and losses and we can't win them off you know I don't know about the sick.
Very good run out I don't argue and I've talked about whether we over says of the mainstream -- -- let you know a lot of people get their news from the mainstream media they don't.
Lets me enough shame on them but the fact is.
That a lot of people have now.
A more favorable impression of the Occupy Wall Street movement -- tea parties.
Now since I've covered both movements I've never seen the Tea Party movement ever get violent I'd last time I checked every Tea Party -- showered.
And they never ever acted up to the -- to be -- ruling and having to bring in the police yet in the eyes of the general media.
It's tea parties you guys -- to the point where -- odd balls and and some of these freaks of nature -- That billions of dollars of in money have been spent to characterize this in now way.
You've -- the speaker of the house actually say negative things about the Tea Party movement you have the minority was just.
Massive -- oh yeah those little renegades who got the money you're under control now.
But you know any other dismissive of us and then it the next moment where omnipotent right plan B didn't pass because the Tea Party ears were so powerful and they control of the House of Representatives actually and then the next minute the next minute we don't even exist so.
The reality is it's not about the Tea Party -- a movement it's about the ideas and all the polling shows that Tea Party ideas are in favor them.
Only if you are better -- it is no bitterness from new -- Long memory is soprano type deal.
But now of course I'm bitter and anytime you commit yourself and your time away from your family.
And invest in some thing of course are gonna be let down my things.
Don't look kind of like they're going your way but -- the same time this is politics and we are teaching people and -- more and more people learning.
If the media and the politicians want -- RS I say let them because we're still working.
-- -- -- -- I'm not bitter at all because I came on -- -- two years ago just before the elections just before John Boehner was about to become speaker of the house -- asked me the question.
If I thought it was a good idea for him to be the speaker of the house I told you point blank two years ago -- -- gonna get what we've seen in the past.
Americans want a different leadership and they still want it now there's no change we got what we know there was -- -- -- members there was no revolt among your members disease stepmother there actually there actually was -- if you look at the vote two years ago a lot more people voted against John Boehner abstain from voting this around in the in the speaker vote.
Then did two years ago so we are making progress people are standing up.
Because they know people like Katrina and -- and millions of others will stand behind them when they do all right guys thank envelope very very much -- could see you -- again Q.

Even the guys who've written the books on counterstamps, Brunk and Rulau, have occasionally had to alter an attribution in a later edition of their works. To be fair, both Rulau and Brunk typically word the questionable attributions in a tentative manner, but others often take the liberty of "engraving that textbook attribution in stone" so as to make a sale. Attribution of these puppies is NOT an exacting science. More often than not, "attribution" is no more than an educated guess. The letter size and style do offer up clues, and a middle initial sure helps, but these clues often fall short of providing a singular attribution. Sometimes, three or more potential issuers may crop up in a thorough search of early directories and the like.
There are some sellers on ebay who are all too hasty, sometimes ridiculous, in making an attribution of some counterstamped coin that they're selling. There are also good sellers who offer reasonable possibilities and are quick to state in their description that an attribution is tentative. One not-so-studious seller who seemed far more interested in making a sale than he did in selling an accurately described item got somewhat disgruntled when I once questioned his attribution. He was touting a Shield Nickel that bore but three initials; coincidentally, initials which happened to match those of some sutler he named. Now, certain buzzwords like sutler, Civil War, Hard Times, saloon and artist for example make the hearts of exonumists beat a bit faster! Sellers know this. This seller's response to my asking the source of his attribution was to reply, "That's what's written on the envelope." Hmmm. What are the odds? The lesson here is simply to not believe all that you read, be it on a coin envelope, in a seller's description or even in a published work.
What follows is an example of a dubious attribution; possible, yes, but dubious, nevertheless.
BowerG cs.jpg
This 1840 Large Cent is counterstamped G. BOWER. One George Bower (no middle initial) is listed in the 1858 Buffalo, NY city directory. He was a tinsmith, working at the corner of Goodell and Oak Streets.
The "G" quite likely stood for George, but there are a few, other possibilities. Bower is a less common surname than some yet more common than others. The size of the letters could represent those of a tinsmith, being larger than most silversmith marks. There's enough info here that I can't dismiss the possibility that George Bower of Buffalo is THE issuer. Yet, I certainly can't attribute it to him ... this, in my humble opinion! In order to confirm my suspicion, I'd want to see a piece of tinware with a matching mark or another specimen with additional info needs to be seen.
Now, if I wanted to really sell this item for top dollar, I'd mention that it's "unlisted" (another buzzword) by Brunk and Rulau, seemingly unique! In reality, Brunk and Rulau have listed nowhere near all of the known counterstamps. I might even outright claim that George Bower of Buffalo was the issuer - daring anyone to prove this wrong! Even though George was active in 1858, and I have no evidence of the stamp being applied at an earlier date, I could propose that this was a Hard Times (another buzzword) issue coin, dated 1840! There are some sellers who routinely use similar "rope-a-dope" selling techniques. To be fair, there are many sellers who simply have no idea what they're selling, and such sellers can be prone to whimsy.
I've very much appreciated the many ethical sellers whom it's been my pleasure to meet on ebay and elsewhere. I started this thread in hope that readers who stumble upon it might be better attuned when it comes to their purchase of counterstamps. I've really enjoyed this branch of numismatics and hope that those who also walk this path take heed and tread with caution.

Nick Bramble's Million Dollar Internet Marketing Formula
Welcome to my take on Nick Bramble's Million Dollar Internet Marketing Blueprint. Some of you might ask, just who is Nick Bramble. Just know that he is a premier marketer, trainer, and success coach in the home based business industry. And that he has used this blueprint I'm about to share with you to consistently create incomes between $30K and 93K since adopting this blueprint. Nick says it cost him over $15K to learn this strategy and over $50K to implement it his first time out. Now fortunately people like you and me can take advantage of what Nick has learned without going through that kind of pain. Nick has even found a ready-made, done-for-you system that has all four characteristics of the million dollar formula or blueprint.
The first characteristic of the blueprint is Right-Now 100% Money. Yes, it is important to have instant commissions, paid directly to you, and straight into your bank account. Right-Now money enables your business to be instantly scalable. Wouldn't it be refreshing not to have to wait weeks or a month to get your money
after you have made a sale? And wouldn't it be even nicer to get a 100 percent commission on that sale?! 100 Percent commissions will give you enough of a profit margin for you re-invest some of the profits back into your business and grow your business even quicker. And again, because those commissions are instant, you don't have to wait until the end of the month or next week to re-invest or otherwise enjoy your earnings.
The second characteristic of the million dollar formula is a High Converting Sales Funnel. In Nick's example, this funnel consists of a lead capture system, a high converting front-end product that creates recurring income, immediate higher profit upsell offers, effective follow-up items since most customers don't buy at the first exposure, and the introduction of on-going additional products and offers that will allow you to maximize the funnel. An example of some of the follow-up items that can be deployed are email autoresponders, webinars, teleconferences, etc.
Needless to say, it can take quite a bit of money and technical know-how to put this kind of funnel together. You would need to know or hire someone who knows how to write effective ad copy in order to get high conversions. This ad copy will need to be incorporated into websites, product brochures, videos, press releases, etc. You would also need website design, product design and creation, graphics design, software and database design and creation, back office construction, merchant vendor integration in order to enable instant commissions and product upsells, website hosting and implementation, webinars, teleconferences, teleseminars, and then you have to support all of the above.
The third characteristic of the million dollar formula is Leveraged Income by way of affiliates. This is basically the model that the whole network marketing industry is built on, the ability to make money from the efforts of others. I believe it was J. Paul Getty who famously said that he would rather earn 1% from the efforts of 100 people instead of 100% of his own efforts. Leveraged income basically enables you to earn from a team of people and create income in zero minutes of your own time. This gives you the opportunity to earn truly exponential income. So if you had a
situation where you introduced your business to two people, and they introduced theirs to two people each, and so on down to say nine levels, then you can earn off of the efforts of over 8,000 people! This is how walk-away (from your job) residual income is created. Nick correctly calls this situation Leveraged Wealth.
The fourth and final characteristic of the blueprint is simply Traffic. There is so much competition on the internet, that you really need an intelligent, highly leveraged traffic source that continues to route people to your business whether you are working or not. And because the Googles, Facebooks, and YouTubes of the world are constantly changing the rules, you need to keep current on the latest and greatest ways to generate effective, targeted, highly converting traffic both on and off the internet. It's not enough to get eyeballs on your sites, but to get the right eyeballs, that is truly interested people, looking at what you have to offer.
As I mentioned earlier, Nick Bramble has identified a ready made, all done-for-you million dollar profit funnel system that incorporates each of the four traits mentioned above. For very little cost, you can actually get your hands on a system that embodies all of this without your having to build websites, develop products, or have any specialized knowledge or experience. I don't have enough time to get into this system here, but if you are interested, you can find out more in a sec. I also know that I can't explain Nick's blueprint better than Nick himself. In fact, I know that I haven't done it the justice that it deserves.
So if you would like to know more about the system Nick discovered, know how you can leverage the technology, done-for-you systems, and teams to create leveraged wealth, and see the video that inspired this article, then head on over to this Nick Bramble Video.
