Biography (Dictionary of World Biography: Twentieth Century)
Article abstract: Eliot, perhaps the most significant of the new wave of Symbolists of the 1920's, startled the world of poetry and spoke for a lost generation in The Waste Land, engaged literary critics with his landmark book of criticism, The Sacred Wood, and wrote the most successful verse play of the twentieth century, The Cocktail Party.
Early Life
Although Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in and lived his early life in St. Louis, his family was so New England in its outlook that it can hardly be identified as Midwestern. Eliot's grandfather, William Greenleaf Eliot, was a Unitarian clergyman whose religious zeal brought him to St. Louis in 1834, shortly after graduation from Harvard's Divinity School. He founded a Unitarian church in St. Louis and then went on to establish three schools, a poor fund, and a sanitary commission in the city. His crowning triumph, however, was in founding Washington University in 1872.
Eliot was the youngest of seven children, one of whom died in infancy. His sister Abigail was nineteen when Eliot was born, his only brother, Henry, nine. Eliot's parents, Henry Ware and Charlotte Champe Stearns Eliot, were in their forties when their last child was born. They had been married for twenty years. The father was president of the Hydraulic-Press Brick Company. Both of Eliot's parents lived in the shadow of the renowned grandfather. Eliot's father suffered the guilt of...

Biography (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born on September 26, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri. His celebrated statement of his allegiances in For Lancelot Andrewes—"classicist in literature, royalist in politics, and Anglo-Catholic in religion"—ran counter to the family tradition of Unitarianism; his grandfather, William Greenleaf Eliot, descendant of a pastor of Boston's Old North Church, established the Unitarian Church of the Messiah in St. Louis. Eliot's father himself was a renegade, refusing the ministry for what was eventually the presidency of the Hydraulic-Press Brick Company. His mother, Charlotte Stearns, was a descendant of one of the judges in the Salem witch trials. An intellectual woman, Stearns began a career as a schoolteacher and eventually became active in children's causes.
As Matthews notes, the family saying "Tace et fac ('Shut up and get on with it')" suggests a household in which indulgence gave way to duty. As a child, Eliot was considered delicate but precocious. At Smith Academy, he took the Latin prize and excelled in English. Deemed too young at seventeen to enter Harvard, he was sent first to Milton Academy. At Harvard, he was conservative and studious. He became an editor of the Advocate, a literary magazine, but his decision to accelerate his undergraduate work to pursue a master's degree left him small leisure for friends, such as Conrad Aiken. Important influences during his college years...

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: British, Irish, & Commonwealth Poets)
To see Thomas Stearns Eliot's end in his beginning is to recall that Andrew Eliot (1627-1704) emigrated from East Coker, Somerset, to Beverly, Massachusetts, in a century that his twentieth century scion would explore and reexplore in poetry and criticism for most of his life. Eliot's grandfather, the Reverend William Greenleaf Eliot, forsook his native New England and went with missionary zeal to the outpost of St. Louis, Missiouri, in 1834. There he founded the (first) Unitarian church of the Messiah and later founded Washington University (originally, Eliot Seminary), where he became chancellor (1870-1887). In the year after William Eliot's death, on September 25, 1888, Thomas Stearns Eliot, the seventh child of a second son, was born to Henry and Charlotte (Stearns) Eliot. Like the Eliots, the American Stearns family hailed from seventeenth century Massachusetts: Members of both families had done what they considered the right thing in the Salem witch trials, Andrew Eliot as a juror, a Stearns as a judge. Eliot's schooling at Smith Academy was punctuated by summers in New England, chiefly at Gloucester and Rockport, Massachusetts (on Cape Ann), not far from the Dry Salvages. After a year at Milton Academy, Eliot matriculated at Harvard College, where he received a B.A. degree (1909) and pursued graduate studies (1910-1914), completing but not defending a doctoral dissertation on the philosophy of F. H. Bradley (published, 1964).

Biography (Identities & Issues in Literature)
T. S. Eliot began his career as a modernist poet, breaking with the traditions of nineteenth century literary standards and creating a new and innovative approach to the way poetry is written, read, and discussed. Born into a prominent and wealthy family, Eliot enjoyed a privileged education. After finishing two degrees at Harvard, he studied in Germany, at the Sorbonne in Paris, and at Merton College, Oxford. He settled in London, where he worked for Lloyds Bank, and in 1927 he became a British citizen.
Eliot is often associated with the American artists and writers who, dissatisfied with what they perceived as a decline in American cultural values, moved to Europe during and shortly after World War I. These expatriates transformed the senseless slaughter of the war and its socially disruptive aftermath into a metaphor for the general breakdown of civilization, fueled by the loss of a common cultural heritage and threatened by political destablization.
Eliot's poetry reflects this view, often describing what he considered the decadence of contemporary life, plagued by a decay in spiritual values, a disregard for tradition, and the inability of government and religious institutions to provide significant order and meaning in life. His poems describe privileged men of culture displaced by the alienating effects of modern society; his poems also...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 26, 1888, the youngest child of a family with four daughters and a son. Eliot's grandfather, the Reverend William Greenleaf Eliot, arrived in St. Louis from Boston in 1834 and quickly rose to prominence. The Reverend Eliot made his mark not only as a Unitarian minister and abolitionist but also as an educator, becoming chancellor of Washington University in 1872. As a boy, Eliot was much influenced by his grandfather and by his family's New England heritage. His summers were usually spent in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where his father had built a vacation home. His mother, Charlotte Champe Stearns, herself a poet, also reinforced in Eliot a sense of his family's essentially New England outlook. As he matured, his sympathies shifted still farther east, to Great Britain. In his twenties, Eliot established permanent residence in England, eventually becoming a British citizen. The pull of these three very different places—the Midwest, New England, and Great Britain—is crucial to understanding Eliot both as a man and as a writer. His last great work, Four Quartets (1943), is in a sense an extended meditation on the way that history and geographical place had formed him.
Although his father, Henry Ware Eliot, was a business executive (president of the Hydraulic-Press Brick...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Many readers of modern poetry know the twentieth century as "The Age of Eliot." Be that as it may, T. S. Eliot's stature ranks him among the two or three great English-language poets of the last hundred years (the others being, perhaps, Ezra Pound and William Butler Yeats).
This is so for three reasons. First, as Pound pointed out, Eliot was the century's poetic forerunner: "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" stands at the threshold of the twentieth century's modernist tradition. Second, certain of Eliot's poems—especially The Waste Land—seem to convey the anonymity, confusion, and urbanity of the time better than those of any other poet. Third, Eliot was perhaps the last "Man of Letters" in the old English literary tradition; his views on literature and the canon held ultimate authority for many years and still have an astonishing influence throughout the English-speaking world.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Thomas Stearns Eliot is so much the dominant figure in poetry and literary criticism in English in the first half of the twentieth century that some have called that period the Age of Eliot. Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1888, into a prominent family with New England roots. His grandfather, William Greenleaf Eliot, founded a Unitarian church in St. Louis and then founded Washington University, establishing a family tradition of public service and piety. Eliot's father, Henry Ware Eliot, deviated from this tradition by going into the brick business but passed the basic Eliot ethos on to his son. T. S. Eliot's mother, Charlotte Champe Eliot, was active in social reforms and was an amateur poet and biographer. Eliot inherited but often struggled with the legacy of his upbringing: moral rigor, a sense of duty, an acute conscience, and an emotionally constricted rationalism.
Eliot entered Harvard University in 1906. There he was influenced by the humanism of Irving Babbitt, and, through reading Arthur Symons's important The Symbolist Movement in Literature (1899), he discovered the French Symbolist poets of the nineteenth century, who would have such a great impact on his own poetry. As part of his graduate work in philosophy at Harvard, Eliot studied in Paris in 1910 and 1911 and then very briefly in Germany in 1914. The outbreak of...

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 26, 1888, the son of Henry and Charlotte (Stearns) Eliot, whose ancestors were among the early settlers of seventeenth century Massachusetts. Eliot's grandfather, the Reverend William Greenleaf Eliot, left New England in 1834 to evangelize an outpost of civilization at St. Louis. There he founded the (first) Unitarian Church of the Messiah and Eliot Seminary which, under his leadership as chancellor (1870-1887), became Washington University.
Eliot's early schooling at Smith Academy and his summers at coastal Rockport and Gloucester, Massachusetts, would inform the imagined landscapes of his subsequent poetry, as would visits to his ancestral home in East Coker, Somerset, England. Eliot studied for a year at Milton Academy (Massachusetts) and then entered Harvard College, where he received the B.A. degree in 1909 and pursued a doctoral degree program from 1909 to 1914, in which he completed but did not defend a dissertation on F. H. Bradley's philosophy.
In 1910-1911, Eliot visited Germany and France and studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. In addition to his philosophical studies at Harvard, he explored several subjects, the Pali and Sanskrit languages among them. World War I halted his plans to study at Marburg, Germany, where he had received a fellowship stipend in 1914....

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Eliot's multiyear quest "to purify the language of the tribe" found its reward in his reception of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948—"for the entire corpus," he supposed. A poet in the forefront of modernism whose later work sought to give life to a vigorous union of the poetic and the spiritual, Eliot's poetry, drama, and criticism remain cultural forces to which successive generations have had recourse in probing the same issues—sometimes disquieting issues—that Eliot had examined before them.

Biography (Beacham's Guide to Literature for Young Adults)
Thomas Steams Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 26, 1888. Although the Eliots had lived in St. Louis for two generations, the family was originally from New England, and Eliot attended the Milton School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and then Harvard University. In 1913 he began the study of philosophy in England at Merton College, Oxford. When his work at Oxford was completed, Eliot remained in England and in 1927 became a British citizen. He died in London on January 5, 1965.
Although Eliot taught briefly at Highgate School, London, and at Harvard as Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry, he was primarily a poet and man of letters. From 1922 to 1939 he edited the Criterion, and for a number of years he was associated with the publishing house of Fibber and Gwyer (now Faber and Faber).
A concern of much of Eliot's poetry is the problem of a culture forced to confront the loss of traditional values as the result of changes caused by theoretical and applied science. This loss of values is described in poems such as "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (1917), and "The Wasteland" (1922). According to Eliot, a "dissociation of sensibility" or separation between man's intellect and his spiritual self occurred about the thirteenth century. The process by which these two can be reunited is described in "The Four Quartets" (1944). For Eliot this process included conversion to Anglo-Catholicism (1927).

Biography (Nonfiction Classics for Students)
Thomas Stearns (T. S.) Eliot was born into a large and prosperous family September 26, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri. Eliot grew up with frequent visits to Massachusetts, where his father built a house overlooking Gloucester harbor, and entered Harvard as a philosophy student in 1906. His greatest influence there was ''new humanist'' philosopher Irving Babbitt, who helped Eliot form the basis for his philosophical theories.
In 1910, Eliot moved to Paris and then to Munich to study French and German literature, but he soon reenrolled at Harvard to study Eastern philosophy. With the outbreak of World War I, he began pursuing a doctoral thesis on F. H. Bradley while on a traveling fellowship to Merton College, Oxford. He stayed in Oxford until his marriage in 1915 to Vivien Haigh-Wood.
By this time, Eliot had written some of his most famous poetry, including ''The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.'' Ezra Pound, whom Eliot met in 1914 in Paris, was immediately struck by Eliot's talent and helped him publish his first collection of poetry by 1917. Pound and Eliot's lifelong friendship and collaboration on various journals eventually helped to establish them as the two main literary authorities of their generation. Upon completing his doctoral work, Eliot worked as a bank clerk and as the assistant editor of Pound's Egoist, a literary journal considered the major outlet for modernist thought.
Although his essays had...

Biography (Drama for Students)
Many readers familiar with T. S Eliot's works do not realize that he was American by birth. In fact, he came from an old New England family. His grandfather, William Greenleaf Eliot, moved to St. Louis in the 1830s, where he founded Washington University and was instrumental in the opposition to slavery, decades before the issue was settled by the Civil War. His father, Henry Ware Eliot, was a local businessman who worked his way up to the presidency of the Hydraulic-Press Brick Company of St. Louis His mother, Charlotte Stearns, was an author and a social crusader credited with great social advances in the then-novel field of juvenile justice. Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 26,1888.
When he was eighteen he entered Harvard, where his studies focused on classical literature, which would influence the direction of his thought throughout his lifetime. He graduated from Harvard with a master's degree in 1910, then studied in Pans for a year. He seldom returned to the United States after that, living in France and then Germany. He settled down in England in 1915, during the middle of World War I, and became a British citizen in 1927.
In 1915, Eliot published his poem, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,'' which was destined to become one of the most influential works of literature in the twentieth century. This, and his other poetry, did not earn him financial independence, however, so he took a position with...

Biography (Poetry for Students)
Eliot was born in 1888 in St. Louis, Missouri, a member of a distinguished family that included Puritan ancestors who had been original settlers of Massachusetts. In 1906 Eliot entered Harvard University. He served on the staff of the Harvard Advocate, the university's literary journal, in which he first published parts of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." He completed his undergraduate studies in 1909 and his master's degree in English literature the following year. Over the next six years Eliot pursued graduate studies in philosophy at the Sorbonne, Harvard, Marburg, and Oxford, completing his dissertation in 1916. During this time Eliot met Ezra Pound, who became his lifelong friend and an important literary influence. In 1915, while studying in England, Eliot met and later married an Englishwoman named Vivien Haigh-Wood. Their marriage has generally been characterized as unhappy, troubled by Vivien's neurotic illnesses and Eliot's sexual apprehensions. The couple settled in London, and Eliot began teaching at a boy's school while writing reviews for various periodicals and composing poetry. In 1917 Eliot left teaching and began working at Lloyd's Bank; however, he continued to follow his literary pursuits, publishing Prufrock and Other Observations in 1917 and becoming an assistant editor for the journal the Egoist. The combined strain of his failing marriage and the pressures from his banking and writing careers resulted in Eliot's...

Biography (Poetry for Students)
Eliot was born September 26, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri. He was a bright and hardworking student, who experienced a classical, wide-ranging education. Eliot studied philosophy and French literature at Harvard. He also joined the staff of the university's literary journal, the Harvard Advocate, in which he first published parts of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." In 1909 he graduated from Harvard with a bachelor's degree in philosophy, and he finished his master's degree in philosophy a year later. Over the next six years, he pursued further graduate studies in philosophy at a number of institutions in the United States and Europe, including Harvard, the Paris Sorbonne, Marburg in Germany, and Merton College, Oxford, ultimately completing his dissertation in 1916.
During the period of his studies, he met two people who would prove to be influential to his writing. The first was fellow poet Ezra Pound, who became Eliot's friend, mentor, and editor. The second was Vivien Haigh-Wood, whom he met and married in 1915 while studying in England. He and Vivien settled in London the same year, but they experienced a troubled relationship from the start, due in a large part to Vivien's neurotic illnesses. The dark tone of Eliot's poetry during the 1910s and 1920s is often attributed to his marriage. In 1915 Eliot started teaching at a London boys' schools, High Wycombe Grammar School, and continued his teaching the next year at...

Biography (Drama for Students)
T. S. Eliot was bom in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 26, 1888, into a family that stressed the importance of education and tradition. His paternal grandfather had moved to St. Louis from Boston and founded Washington University; the young Eliot entered Harvard University in 1906 to study French literature and philosophy (he received a baccalaureate degree in 1909 and a master's degree in 1910). In 1910, Eliot attended the Sorbonne and studied under the philosopher Henri Bergson; he later studied at Oxford and completed his dissertation on philosopher F. H. Bradley in 1916, when he was living in London with his first wife, Vivien Haigh-Wood.
During this phase of his life, Eliot was befriended by die American poet Ezra Pound who helped him shape and publish his poetry, specifically "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" which first appeared in the journal Poetry. 1917 saw the publication of Eliot's first volume of verse, Prufrock and Other Observations which was greeted with enthusiasm by its readers. Eliot's success, however, was not enough to relive the stress he felt from his failing marriage; he suffered an emotional breakdown and sought treatment at a sanitorium in Switzerland. It was there that he completed the first draft of what is regarded as his best—and most difficult to interpret—work, The Waste Land, Upon returning to London, Eliot edited the poem (at Pound's request) and published it in the American journal the Dial. More and more readers began paying attention to Eliot's new verse forms, which reflected the angst and desperation of people who had just lived through the terror and chaos of World War I.
Eliot renewed himself personally as he had the world of poetry: in 1927, he became a British subject and a confirmed member of the Anglican church. During this same year, he stated his controversial creed of conservatism, describing himself as "Anglo-Catholic in religion, royalist in politics and classicist in literature." In 1930, another of his important poems, Ash Wednesday, was published, and in 1932 Eliot returned to the United States to become the Charles Eliot Norton Professor at Harvard. He was almost completely estranged from his wife and remained in the United States to lecture at various universities. In 1934 his first play, Sweeney Agonistes, was produced, followed the same year by his second drama, The Rock. However, it was 1935's Murder in the Cathedral that drew as much attention to Eliot's playwriting as his poetry. His next play, The Family Reunion, was produced in 1939, followed in 1943 by the poem Four Quartets. Vivien died in 1947 and in 1948 Eliot received the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Order of Merit by George VI. His next play, The Cocktail Party, was produced in 1949 and proved to be a critical and commercial success. Two other plays followed: The Confidential Clerk (1953) and The Elder Statesman (1958). During his playwriting career, Eliot continued to write verse, essays, and volumes of criticism. He was remarried in 1957, this time to Valerie Fletcher, to whom he remained married until his death in 1965. He is buried in Westminster Abbey.
Widely acclaimed as one of the world's greatest modern poets, Eliot has maintained an influence on literature some critics claim is unequaled by any other twentieth-century writer. While Eliot often is associated with the Symbolist-metaphysical tradition, his bold experiments with form, phrasing, and tone helped usher in the Modernist period in American and English letters. In fact, his poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," published in its entirety for the first time in Eliot's first volume of poetry in 1917, often is credited by critics as being the first Modernist poem. -- T. S.

With its uniformly barred plumage, the greater prairie chicken is nearly identical to the lesser prairie chicken, though slightly darker and, aptly enough, larger. In summer, the bird feeds mostly on insects, seeds and fruits. It hides its nests in tall, dense grass, laying 7 to 17 eggs, which the female incubates for 23 to 26 days. Females typically lead hatchlings to shorter grass, also the scene of elaborate mating rituals in which males drum their feet in stylized dances and make a booming call that can be heard for over a mile. The open courtship areas are known as "leks" or "booming grounds," and the courtship displays are the species' most famous trait.
The three subspecies of the greater prairie chicken have enjoyed radically different fates. The heath hen became extinct in 1932, Attwater's prairie hen survives only in small portions of southeast Texas and is listed as Endangered in the US, and the greater prairie chicken, though threatened and isolated in much of its range, remains numerous enough to be hunted in four states. Once inhabiting the wide plains of the central US in vast numbers, the bird has fared poorly as its grassland habitat has been converted to other uses.
Aside from habitat loss, the greater prairie chicken is also threatened by loss of genetic variance resulting from the isolation of populations with no natural corridors between groups.

Now that I work in the Jewish community, people always assume that I've been a "super Jew" my whole life. In reality, it took a special trip to pique my interest—and experiences thereafter—to land me where I'm standing now.
When I was a kid, my family moved around a lot until settling in exotic Buffalo, New York. That first summer in Buffalo, I spent my days with the other soon-to-be fourth graders at a JCC-partnered Jewish camp in central New York. As fun as shaving cream fights were, I was the new kid in town. Two summers were enough for me.
I attended Sunday school and became a bat mitzvah. After throwing a candy-themed party to celebrate the occasion, attending a few classmates' b'nai mitzvot and trying Hebrew High school for a few weeks, I checked out of my Jewish involvement. I recall going to a youth group meeting, which I hated, and never returned.
My family and I continued to celebrate holidays with amazing meals, stories and traditions. While I loved this aspect of being Jewish, I didn't consider myself to be religious or active. When I attended Arizona State University, I continued to join my AZ-based family for holiday meals, but I never even knew that Hillel existed.
It wasn't until my later years as a college student that my mother mentioned a "free trip" to Israel. Israel? Why would I go there? Isn't it scary, war torn, third-world? Obviously I lacked education about Israel and it was definitely not at the top of my list of places to visit.
After college, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the world of entertainment. I turned 25, and my mom continued to suggest that I go on this free Israel trip called "Birthright Israel." I was still unsure—I worried I was not religious enough for a Jewish trip. I didn't even have a passport and now I was going to take a 14 hour flight across the world? Then, when I realized that I would soon be ineligible because of my age, I applied.
Needless to say I had a fabulous time on the trip, falling in love with the country and having a little Israeli romance as well. I never imagined that the country could be so beautiful, with such diverse people, and that spending time with other Jews doing Jewish things could be enjoyable. I returned to LA in tears, wishing that I had never left.
Now that I was back, I told everyone I knew about my experience. I went to a Shabbat dinner with the LA Federation (which I knew of from the trip orientation). I started hosting Jewish parties–Chrismukkah (with my Catholic roommate) and Passover seders; both open to friends of all faiths. I learned to cook brisket, noodle kugel and matzo ball soup.
After a year, I quit my coveted job to participate in a Masa Israel program called Career Israel. I loved living in Israel with Jews from around the world, touring the country and getting to visit Turkey and Jordan too.
I soon found that I didn't want to live in Israel forever, so I moved to Chicago with a few of my fellow participants from the program. After struggling to find work in the world of event planning, I took on a variety of random jobs. I wanted to meet new people in my new city, so I attended a few events put on by Birthright Israel NEXT (now called NEXT: A Division of Birthright Israel Foundation) and a year later started a fellowship with NEXT, reaching out to Birthright Israel trip returnees and planning programs for them in Chicago. The programs I ran included a challah-baking/platter-painting event, cooking classes and an outing to a Chicago Blackhawks game.
This Birthright Israel alumni network became my own personal community in Chicago. As a NEXT fellow, I had the privilege to staff a Birthright Israel trip with a Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation (JUF) employee with whom I'm now very close. One year later, I applied for a job working in young adult engagement for JUF, and all of a sudden, engaging with 20-something Jews became my life.
Five years ago, I never would have imagined that I would be a "professional Jew." But today I am lucky to be in that position, meeting Jews of all backgrounds and helping them connect to the community.
There are so many ways to be Jewish in Chicago. For someone like me, who often didn't feel like I wanted to be part of anything Jewish, I realize that it's all about finding the right fit for each individual. I can be a Jewish leader without having to fit stereotypes; I can be myself, and in return, I appreciate that everyone has their own way of living Jewishly.
When meeting with people who are not engaged in Jewish life, I try to connect them to opportunities that are meaningful based on their interests. I stay motivated because I know the work I do helps so many people in Chicago feel welcome and find a deeper connection to our Jewish community for those whose paths are as winding as mine.

Loving this fitness gear!
Tablets, flat screen TVs, and blenders are all great gifts. Who doesn't want a shiny cool new gadget? But the greatest gift you can get is more basic than that – it's health. I know, boring and cliché, but true. If you don't have your health, nothing else matters.
The next time the stomach bug hits, there is one thing you will wish/pray for, and it's not a tablet. Working out will not prevent the stomach flu, of course, but we all know the benefits of exercise. So instead of a gadget that promotes laziness, get yourself a fitness present this holiday season! It's much easier to justify a new gadget purchase when it's making you healthy.
This is a billion dollar industry with a lot to choose from, so here are some gadget and equipment recommendations.
Fitness Trackers
There are several ways to track your fitness; everyone from Nike to Polar is in on the action. These various wrist devices track your movement and how many calories you burn and some even have sleep trackers. If you are trying to lose or gain weight you can also log your food, do the math, and figure out if you are burning more calories than you take in, or eating more calories than you burn.
I like to think I was ahead of the curve when I wore a tracker and wrote an article about the Go Wear Fit. It was interesting to learn that I burn more calories training others than working out myself, and that I need to sleep better. Since then, these tools have exploded in the wellness scene. Several companies by trackers for their employees and then have competitions to see who is the most active employee. I think they are great if you are not an active person. It guilts you into moving when you realize how you are more sedentary than any of the Golden Girls.
Here are the top three gadgets on the market in no particular order:
-Fitbit-Nike Fuel-Jaw Bone Up
Fitness Equipment
I am sucker for fitness equipment; it fills a void in my heart that I never knew existed until I became a personal trainer in 2001. I have everything from bands to medicine balls at my house and I desperately want a Hex Squat bar and a sled. Granted I would only use the Hex bar for deadlifts, but it would be so worth it. Look at how it evenly distributes the weight, and the ergonomics … am I the only one salivating over this bar?
For your home, however, I would recommend simple equipment that is easy to store and can be used for many different exercises. It's great to have some equipment around the house for days you cannot make it to the gym, or walk outside. And if you don't belong to a gym, you can outfit a home cheap without breaking the bank. If you have children, working out at home is a great way to be a fitness role model. My son is only two and he already tosses around a medicine ball and attempts to do pushups.
My top five favorite items for your home:
1. Resistance bands – Great for weight training, stretching, or cardio. You can place the bands around doors and do almost any exercise you could do with a machine plus more. I use my bands all the time for a full-body workout. I even take a band with me when I travel. If you want to know which types of bands to buy, email me.
2. Soft Medicine Balls – These are soft so you do not have to worry about making too much noise slamming them on the ground, playing catch with a workout partner, or having a child run into it (they think it's fun). I use mine with all my clients. These are actually cheaper than the ones I have, and more durable.
3. Kettle bells – This is basically a weighted ball with a handle. I hide these from my son because they are solid. You can do a ton of exercises with this, like deadlifts, shoulder press, bicep curls, and many others. For women, I would buy a 15- to 20-pound one and for men, I would buy a larger one closer to 20 or 30 ponds. I own a 20- and 30-pounder and want another 30-pound one.
4. Stability Ball – These are the large balls some people sit on in their office or home. You can do core exercises on the ball, like pushups with your hands on the ball or even pushups with your feet on the ball and your hands on the ground. This is a great piece of equipment for pregnant women to open up their hips by simply bouncing while sitting on top of it (don't fall off). The site tells you based on your height what size ball to purchase.
5. Valaslide – This tool is like putting plastic wrap on your hands and feet. The Valaside comes with two separate little sliders that you use with your hands or feet, and are great for working the core. You can do a lot of exercises with them on the ground, standing up or on your knees. My favorite exercise with them is in a pushup position with your feet on them and you pull one leg at a time into your body and feel the burn in your abs.
With New Year's resolutions only a few weeks away, get started now on living a healthier lifestyle. Keep in mind you do not need any of these tools to get fit, but they can help make your routine a little easier. If you have a favorite gadget, send it my way at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'm not particularly proud of it, but this is what I did for Chanukah. Strike that. This was my attempt to make Chanukah as cool as Christmas.
I happened upon a Facebook post about a couple who told their kids each year that, once a year, their toys woke up for the night to have a party. The kids eagerly anticipated seeing the party aftermath in the morning. Cue the lesson on wonderment and imagination.
"Bee would go crazy for this," I thought to myself, and the light bulb went on.
This year, despite being more than a month ahead of Christmas, Chanukah already has taken a backseat to Christmas movies, Christmas books, Christmas clothes, and Christmas events. My rational side says, "What's the big deal? Chanukah is a minor holiday, and really, you can't compete with Christmas (or at least, you really shouldn't want to, you Scrooge). It's part of American culture. Find a way to enjoy Chanukah for what it is, and let it go."
The other side of my brain said, "Tell Bee that Chanukah is the dinosaurs' favorite holiday, and that they wake up on each of the eight nights to have a party!"
Genius? Petty and pathetic? Perhaps both.
Reasons my idea was genius:
1. Bee was SO EXCITED for Chanukah.2. Bee was SO EXCITED for Chanukah.3. Bee was SO EXCITED for Chanukah.
Reasons my idea was petty and pathetic:
1. Dinosaurs have nothing to do with Chanukah, which means Bee was SO EXCITED for dinosaurs, not Chanukah, if I'm being honest with myself.2. I get on my high horse about not feeling the need to compete with Christmas, yet the first time my child tells me he likes Christmas best of all and that it's his favorite "season," I'm the first one scrambling to make Chanukah cooler.3. I dislike most things that attempt to make Chanukah more Christmas-y (like this and this). They feel inauthentic, like we're saying to our kids, "Oh, sorry you're Jewish and you can't have a Christmas tree … decorate this bush instead." The dinosaurs on Chanukah? Did nothing to enrich my son's actual Chanukah experience.
I genuinely like Christmas, and I'm getting more and more comfortable with my son liking it, too. It's part of his heritage and history, and frankly, it's a ridiculous bonanza of happiness. Really, what's not to like? I guess I'm just frustrated that the Jewish holidays, while full of meaning and rich history and tradition, don't deliver quite the punch that their Christian counterparts deliver.
I love being Jewish, and I want my sons to feel the same way. Perhaps the way to go about this isn't forcing T-Rex and triceratops into our Chanukah celebration, but rather modeling a happy Jewish life for them, a Jewish life that's filled with delicious food that we cook together, pizza Shabbats with our beloved friends, giving back to our community together and holidays celebrated with precious family – including Christmas.
For the record, though, Bee's reaction to the dinos was priceless, and we will definitely be repeating the exercise at some point next year (though maybe not for eight nights - how many places can we possibly come up with to set up 45 dinosaurs?).
I am writing this with glue on my fingers.
I know what you're thinking – is this a complex, deep, meaningful metaphor for the meaning of life? Also, WTF?
To answer your first question, no, it is not. Sorry if that disappoints. If you want to turn it into a complex, deep, meaningful metaphor for the meaning of life, by all means, go ahead, and please let me know what you come up with. It is actually very literal, and it is also a very sticky situation. (I know, I know … but I couldn't not say that.) And actually, it has dried a little bit so it's slightly less gross than it sounds.
In response to your second question, the reason I have glue on my fingers is because a very smart friend told me to put glue on my fingers. Not because I'm doing an art project or anything like that. (But you know what's fun? Mixing glue and shaving cream and painting with it. Trust me on this.) While I generally disapprove of peer pressure, I think this is a good idea my friend came up with, though she might need to buy me a new keyboard pretty soon because this can't be good for it.
When I feel anxious, a lot of things happen. I talk too fast. My face gets red. And, I noticed recently – I scratch my head. Just a quick, innocent little scratch, only there isn't really anything there that's itchy. Although this might not seem like a huge deal, you ladies (and long-haired gentlemen) out there are well aware that when you touch your head too much, your hair becomes greasy and gross. And frankly, it's not cute. I miss having cute hair and I think it misses me too. We used to have such good times together.
As anyone who's ever tried to kick a habit knows, breaking one is a lot easier said than done. Intellectually, I know that I have a bad habit. I know that I would no longer like to have said bad habit. I know that said bad habit is really awkward and makes people think I have lice when I don't. However, in that anxiety-ridden moment, such as when I have everything I need to make chocolate cake except the chocolate (and the cake) or even right now, at this coffee shop, when I'm trying to write this incredibly amazing blog post – it's almost like there's this robot dude in my arm who reaches up to my head and scratches the crap out of it without me realizing until it's too late. And dude needs to stop, hence the glue. Even a sneaky nonexistent robot dude is not going to run sticky fingers through my hair. Even nonexistent robot dudes have their limits, you know?
Breaking a habit is hard. It's unnerving. It causes anxiety, which really sucks if you're like me trying to stop doing the thing you do when you get anxious. I think it's important to focus on the end goal, though, and how glorious it will be when you don't do whatever it is any more. After all, life is too short to have hair that is anything less than adorable.
Mazel Tov to Brad Ausmus!Former Jewish Major League Baseball player Brad Ausmus was tagged to replace Jim Leyland as the new manager of the Detroit Tigers. Ausmus inherits a mega lineup featuring Miguel Cabrera, Torii Hunter and ace pitchers in Justin Verlander and 2013 American League Cy Young winner Max Scherzer. The Tigers even recently acquired Jewish second baseman Ian Kinsler (talk about beshert!) Now if only Lawrence Frank could get back into a head coaching spot we'd have a Jewish coach/manager in all three major sports (Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman is Jewish).
Mazel Tov to Craig Breslow, Ryan Lavarnway, Ryan Kalish! Mazel tov to the Boston Red Sox for winning the World Series! Only Breslow was on the World Series roster, but I believe Lavarnway will receive a ring for his playing time during the season. Kalish did not appear this season for the BoSox due to injury. Breslow was the 24th Jewish ballplayer to play in the World Series.
Mazel Tov to Craig Breslow and Ian Kinsler!Breslow was also this year's recipient of the Sandy Koufax Award given to MLB's best Jewish pitcher by TheGreatRabbino.com. Breslow was 5-2 with a 1.94 ERA. He struck out 32 batters in 52 innings. This is Breslow's third time winning the award (second in a row). Honorable mentions: Scott Feldman and Jason Marquis. Ian Kinsler won the Hank Greenberg Award for best Jewish MLB hitter; Kinsler hit .277 with 13 HRs and 31 doubles. He also compiled 15 stolen bases for a Rangers team in the thick of the playoff hunt throughout the season. Ryan Braun has won the award the last three seasons and Kevin Youkilis was the inaugural winner. Honorable mentions: Josh Satin, Nate Freiman, and Ryan Braun.
Other Mazel TovsOn Nov. 1 the NBA saw its first matchup between two Israeli born players. Omri Casspi of the Houston Rockets took on cross state rival the Dallas Mavericks and rookie Gal Mekel. This was an amazing moment for Jewish basketball and the country of Israel.
Meanwhile, in the NFL, brothers Geoff Schwartz (Kansas City Chiefs) and Mitchell Schwartz (Cleveland Browns) met for the first time on Oct. 27. Geoff and the Chiefs were victorious.
Just like the notion that there are two sides to every story, there are four sides to every dreidel. Over the years I have found myself associating the sides of that little dreidel (made out of recycled plastics) with memories of the past and the present along with thoughts about identity and perseverance
Let's face it – playing dreidel is probably the closest thing to ancient kosher gambling. It takes skill and savvy, and that little kiss that you blow onto the dreidel cupped in your hands can make all the difference between a gimmel (getting all the pot) and a nun (getting nothing). I was enamored with the official game and would play it all the time in my Hebrew School days. My friends and I would have contests to see whose dreidel would spin the longest (I think my record was 45 seconds). Around fifth or sixth grade the game became pretty lame, but I was back to the dreidel circuit during my college years, though that's a whole other story.
My kids (ages 14, 11, 7) are big fans of this seasonal game of chance. Although they have mastered the art of the upside-down spin, it's the access to parent-sanctioned candy that keeps them playing the game year after year. In fact, they will keep playing it through the winter and into the spring. I'm guessing it's the chocolate coins that keeps them playing and not the feeling of being historically connected to our ancestors who played the game when Greek soldiers would pass by.
I think the dreidel is one of the best Jewish symbols ever. Its size and function impart valuable lessons. I identify and navigate through many different social (and social media) circles during the day. A dreidel is small enough that if I were to put it in my pocket for a day, I think it would remind me that there's another circle that I'm intrinsically part of.
No matter how many times we spin the dreidel it will always fall down on one of four sides. The outcomes are often this way in life. Sometimes we gain everything we want and sometimes we gain nothing. Sometimes we have to compromise and give up our half of what we want and sometimes we all have to pitch in a little of what we have for the greater good. Regardless of what side out dreidel lands on, we can always pick up the dreidel – and ourselves – so that we can continue trying to win the game.
Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Phew, we got that out of the way. I'm thankful for so much. It's been a year full of so, so much change. You know that old cliché/John Lennon lyric, "life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans?" For the first time in a while, I thought my ducks were in a row. But breakups happen, unforeseen challenges arise, so on and so on. So let's let life happen. For better, for worse, for the sake of feigning a positive attitude until things settle down a bit in my little world – I'm thankful for it all. But that's not what I want to write about. I want to write about writing. Feel free to read a previous Oy entry about my coy, difficult, ultimately wonderful love affair with writing. An article about writing again, you say? Well, this is different. I promise you. In the spirit of letting go of the old and creating something new, I had lofty goals for November. November is NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. Some people want to run marathons. I wanted to write a novel. Sigh, just the structure of that last sentence gives off the stench of defeat. Yeah, I didn't write a novel. But I wrote nearly 20,000 words. That's something, aye? The concept of NaNoWriMo is perfect for the most fledgling of writers (aka, me): spill out 50,000 words from the recesses of your mind. That's it. Commit pen to paper, tablet, laptop, your recorder of choice. Editing is for later. Discerning judgment is for later. I came to into November with a few loosely connected ideas that I wanted to shine up into a real-live story. I signed up on the site (NaNoWriMo.org), I received encouraging emails. In a word, I was pumped. My favorite part of the process? Discussing possible plots and story ideas with my family. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time. I uncovered my father's secret ambitions to write a spy novel...who knew? My mother's ideas for a Disney-ish fairy tale were more imaginative than anything I conjured up. I soaked it all in and as November reared its head, I sat down to write. These emails I spoke of? Many of them consist of pep talks. Based on past and current professional experience, I'm used to writing every day, and if not every day, on a pretty consistent basis. However, committing to 1,500-plus words a day, after getting home from my communications-based 9-to-5? Call me lazy, call me whatever you want; I lasted about a week until I decided that writing a novel in a month might not be in the cards, at least not this November. Maybe I'll train better next year. At a recent get-together, a friend brought up that her boyfriend was taking on the NaNoWriMo beast this year. I implored further: Does he have a story? What got him into it? She relayed enthusiastically that this was the first year he really decided to get serious about it. He bought a special notebook to plot out his novel ahead of time. All bases were covered. I squirmed when she told me after the first week that he inexplicably lost about 2500 words. Technology! Strangely enough, I felt a part of this community, even though I was taking a more languorous approach to novel writing. I may never get there. But the idea of it, of continually turning to my ongoing story and adding a little something new, keeps the fires of one my greatest passions alive. My childhood friend Steph always refers to less-than-ideal, kooky life events as "writing material." Reflecting on this past year and everything that makes me grateful (and everything that makes me cringe), I've tried my best to fill it with "writing material" moments with people I love, adore and enjoy.
Happy Thanksgivukkah, everyone!

Can I Get My Ex-girlfriend Back?
If you find yourself asking the question, " Can I get my former girlfriend back? " then it is possible that this breakup of the relationship was not poor enough where amends cannot be made. Working to do whatever possible to make things right is a step in the best direction. Be sure to start now because there is virtually no time like the present.
Can I get my ex-girlfriend back by demonstrating that I have a caring aspect to me?
It is not always guaranteed that you and your ex-girlfriend will get back together; however , you can make the odds in your favor by doing things for her that are type and thoughtful. You can start out by demonstrating how you miss her and apologize for any wrong that you may have accomplished. While doing such things, it is important that you observe her reactions. If you notice that your gestures make her angry, for example she becomes angry when you let her know you are sorry or trashes the particular roses you sent and holes up the cards, you will then need to make strategy.
If merely apologizing to her makes her painful, you may want to try demonstrating your sadness with your actions instead. Think about what you have done to upset her, and steer clear of making the same mistakes again. Work hard to behave in a way that truly demonstrates you are sorry.
If you find she is trashing the roses, attempt to think about why this is the case. It will be possible that roses may seem so average and clich and she may feel that no thought was put into purchasing the roses. You can take things a step further and select your own roses to make a special arrangement to give to her. Purchase a blank card and write your own honest feelings on it, and include this particular card along with the roses.
A typical complaint for many women is the fact that men are just not sensitive and caring enough. Try to reflect back over your relationship. Ask yourself, have I done enough to demonstrate these characteristics in myself? Of course , asking this particular question may lead to you asking, Can I get my ex-girlfriend back by demonstrating that I am, in fact , sensitive to her needs and that I worry about her? While it may not necessarily work, it is worth a try. After all, in case you show her these personality attributes, it will make it easier for her to accept you back. It is important, however , that you do not expect her to come running back right away, just because you do such things. Keep in mind that it will take time.
Additionally, you will need to consider that if you rarely do anything during your relationship to demonstrate that you were caring and sensitive or even if you only did such things initially, she will doubt that you are being sincere. If she does doubt a person, do not give up, and most of all, never become angry. Keep putting on the effort, and do it because these would be the things that will make her pleased, not because it is a task you must conquer.
Can I get my former girlfriend back if I go out and day other women?
In case a lot of time has passed since you guys have broken up and you are still focusing on getting her back, it is good to go on a casual date. A date which is casual in nature will seem harmless, and it may make her wish she was dating you instead. Remember, if you take matters too far, this plan will backfire in your face.
Can I get my former girlfriend back if she is with an additional guy?
If the girl seems that she is moving on, you can send her an occasional card letting the girl know that you are thinking about her. You never know, she may be won over by the fact that you merely took the time to be able to demonstrate to her that you care sufficient to think about her.
If this appears she' s moved on, nevertheless send her a card a person wrote just wishing her an excellent week. But don' t appear as if you have any expectations. Your own thoughtfulness might really impress the girl.

What experts say is true– reading books to your kid is very important. Children learn just about everything by reading, from colors and figures, to shapes and letters. Experts believe that 30 minutes of book reading each night could have your child on the way to reading before they even achieve kindergarten!
For children that have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep, it is advised that you do not allow them to nap. Napping will make them less tired when it comes to bedtime. Instead, allow them to go to sleep at an early hour even if it means that they will wake up earlier.
Try not get your child into the routine of eating fast food frequently. They will think this okay, and junk food is very unhealthy. Instead, take them to places that serve healthier foods, such as salads, and sandwiches. When you can, try to make your child a home made meal.

You could have Love That Never Ends
You Can Have Love That Never ever Ends
If you were to ask someone if they wanted more love in their life, it is very unlikely they would say they wouldn't and they don't need any more. That would be such as saying you don't need to ever eat again because you are full. Even if our lives were full of appreciate we would still want to experience more of it, because love is never ending and the more love we have the more we will have to give away. But how can we give love away? Before we can answer that question, we should attempt to define love or agree upon what love is. Because love is fathomless, we can not completely understand its depth. And our attempts to define it often confine its meaning and endless quality. However , we know when we experience love. And we can identify appreciate in how it is expressed.
Love is communicated in order to us in many ways. Sometimes it is in phrases or someone's thoughtfulness. We acknowledge it when we are treated with attention and respect. We also connect our love by our faithfulness, generosity, and selflessness. There are many different attributes that we associate with love. I believe there are ten key attributes that connect true love most fully. I spend a chapter to each one of them in my ebook, Live to Love: ten Powerful Ways to Communicate and Encounter Love. In it you will discover how we connect our love or lack of this every day. Love is more than words and it runs deeper than feelings. Like is what we live for. We all love and we want to be loved.
We look for loving characteristics in people and that is what often draws in us to them. Besides being drawn to their personality, appearance, common interests, and so forth, we look for qualities that communicate love, warmth, and acceptance. If we want to build a relationship along with someone, we want a connection that is much deeper and founded on the attributes associated with love.
Loving individuals draw others to them. We all prefer to be around someone who makes all of us feel valued and who goodies us as important. We such as being around someone who is innovative toward us; someone who cares regarding our feelings; someone who can be trusted and is honest with us. We such as people who make us feel good regarding ourselves—people who listen and realize us; people who want to help all of us and will go of their way for all of us; people who are happy when we succeed; folks who appreciate us. We all like to become around people who make us really feel genuinely loved.
Earlier we said that the more love we all give away, the more love it is that we will have to give. Love isn't appreciate until you give it away. We provide love away when its attributes are evident and expressed in our life. We can all grow in the various attributes of love, and we can begin to express love more fully in our lives and relationships. Remember, we will never run out of love as long as we all keep on

Males: Date Your Wives!
Men: Date Your Wives!
I have been married long enough to understand a few things. Some of the lessons I had learned have come from doing stuff right, but the vast majority of the training I' ve learned from marriage have come from areas that I' ve completely failed in. We share my mistakes with males in hopes that they will not have to make the same mistakes for themselves. Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes that I made during the 1st years of my marriage was that We didn' t take my wife on a single date. I' m severe. It was many years after we had already been married before I thought to take my wife on a date.
Therefore , men, my advice to you is simple: date your wives! Perhaps you are usually better than me and you never halted taking your wife on dates like you used to before you got married. Congratulations! We wish someone had taught me to do the same thing. I wish someone had been around to tell me that will marrying your wife does not mean that you' ve completely won her which you will never have to do anything to win her love again. Or I want that someone had told me that the point of the whole thing was never to win her heart by getting married to her and then never win her heart again. Oh how useful it would have been to know that winning plus keeping the heart of your wife takes time, effort, and a few special schedules here and there. My first years of marriage would have been easier and better had I known these basic things.
I think my wife nearly had a heart attack on the day which i asked her to go on a date with me that Friday night, and I guess that I shouldn' t have been therefore surprised by her surprise. To get a brief moment she looked at me like she was looking at the stranger. It had really taken her off guard that I experienced thought to date her and then planned it well in advance. One of her favorite bands was playing inside a city nearby and I bought us tickets, got a babysitter, plus invited her on a dinner plus concert date. I cannot tell you how much my wife loved being loved by me in that way. All night long the lady glowed like a woman who understood deeply that she was being loved.
Since that 1st date I have made a commitment to take my wife on at least two schedules per month. Sometimes I plan luxurious dates and we dress up and venture out dancing and to a fancy supper. Other times we head to our favorite book shop, order coffees and look at journals and books together. Some of my personal favorite dates are the simple ones, the ones where we know that nothing matters as much as just being together.
So , men, whether you have been wedded for three months or for thirty-three years, make it a habit to invite your wife out on dates. She will end up being so glad you did, and thus will you.
The start of Nachos And What They Have Become!
The Beginning of Nachos And What They Have Become!
Nachos are one of the most popular snack foods. They can be found at house, festivals, and sporting events. They do not take much effort to prepare. People add different toppings and enjoy the comfy cheese. It may be a surprise to know that nachos came about less than 100 years ago. Everything started in 1943 at the military foundation, Fort Duncan in Eagle Move, Texas. A few military wives made a decision to take a visit to Mexico, which was not really far away at all. The wives increased hungry, so they stopped by a cafe, demanding food and drinks. The only employee available, who was nicknamed " nacho", brought out tortilla chips. He dissolved Wisconsin cheese over it and cut jalapenos for a topping. The women liked the snack so much that they returned to Texas and it spread such as wildfire.
Texas was the only area that knew about this special dish. It was not till 1977 when a man named Honest Liberto decided to sell nachos in his concession stand. He found a way to keep the cheese soft and offered it with tortilla chips. 1 day when it was Monday night soccer, a few of the hosts tried the nachos and fell in love with the new treat. Whenever the hosts were over the air, they would talk about nachos any chance they got, which distribute the word all over the United States.
These days' people all over the United states of america enjoy this snack. There is a never ending selection of toppings that can be served on the nachos. Some include guacamole, tomatoes, member of the lettuce family, olives, and ground beef. Many people enjoy the nacho cheese so much they put it on other foods. Have you ever attempted nacho cheese on ice cream? How about on sausage, and fish? Probably these people enjoy the cheese a bit too a lot.
Different parts of the United States function nachos differently. In the south, you can usually find nachos at bbq restaurants. The toppings include barbequed beef with the sauce on top of all of those other toppings. Restaurants in other parts of the country make reference to some nacho platters as " loaded nachos". It is usually an appetizer. Loaded nachos are abundant in toppings. You can find these at bars and restaurants. Outside of America also take pleasure in nachos. If you go to Ireland you will find " Irish nachos". Instead of tortilla chips, they use French fries or spud wedges. The rest of the toppings are the same as regular nachos.
Nachos are simple to make from your own home. There are many different dishes available. Some include chicken rather than beef. Others have many different veggies with a dab of sour lotion on top. Let your imagination proceed wild. If you would prefer to have it currently made, some grocery stores have the nachos pre packed with the nacho parmesan cheese in a separate container next to the chips. A great way to have authentic nachos is by having lunch or dinner at a nearby Mexican restaurant. The nachos may come really big and piled with many toppings. It may be messy, but it will be worth it!

3 blu ray with vhs qualityabeldoorn | 29/09/2013 | See all abeldoorn's reviews (1)I don't mind the 4:3 format as this is the format it was shot in, and I rather have the original format than a re-seied to 16:9 one (as with queens videoclips dvd's).On the plus side, the show now contains the warming up show, the extreme medley, metallica etc. But alas, it's still not the complete show, robert plant and some others are left out. Picture quality is the old vhs-tape upgraded to 1080. It looks better than the 'old' dvd, but quality is still nothing compared to a blu ray quality. Even upscaled and even better than before, long audience shots are still blurry. But as said, it's better and perhaps the best it'll ever be. Sound is good and due to beeing it a BD there is not much compression.
1 FREDDIE MERCURY TRIBUTE CONCERTRICHARDNBACKER | 31/08/2013 | See all RICHARDNBACKER's reviews (2)A superb concert, BUT if you buy this bear in mind that the bluray is in 4.3format which has thick black bars up both sides of the screen, it is NOT widescreen and I cannot for the life of me change it, be it played in standalone player or computer..It's gone in the bin.
1 Disappointing!!ronniejamesdio1 | 13/10/2013 | See all ronniejamesdio1's reviews (4)Having had the dvd for a lot of years, and enjoyed the splendid concert, I was really excited about this release. BUT what is the point having a bluray in vhs quality??? In my opinion, I should have a refund...KEEP AWAY all you bluray fans. This is a sheer disappointment!

BACKGROUND: A company in Purdue Research Park has created a new kind of search engine called 3D-Seek, thanks to a major advance in pattern recognition. The program lets users find hard-to-describe items -- hinges, bolts, conveyor belts, or motors, for example -- in an online catalog without ever needing to know the items -- names, part numbers or keywords. Instead, all a user needs to do is draw a simple freehand sketch : a doodle. The drawing can be done from any angle of the actual object. 3D-Seek will find the desired part in seconds via a related technology called i-prowler, which hunts for image files on a user's computer and merges them with either the online database or an internal company catalog
BENEFITS: There are differences in the ways various search engines work, but they all perform three basic tasks. They search the Internet -- or select pieces of the Internet -- based on important words. They keep an index of the words they find, and where they find them. They allow users to look for words or combinations of words found in that index. Instead of walking around from store to store carrying a bracket, for example, you can use 3D Seek to find a match online, print out a barcode for the exact part, and take it to any store that stocks it. An online test version is available at the moment, with a full-fledged product expected for launch in the fall.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM: The 3D-Seek software was built on top of technology created by the Purdue Research and Education Center for Information Systems in Engineering (PRECISE) at Purdue University, to compare computer-aided design files and other 3D images that are used throughout industry. Further collaboration led to a system that required only critical shape characteristics, not entire image files, which allowed faster search speeds and also protected proprietary information held by parts suppliers. The challenge was to match a rudimentary doodle to an actual 3D object in seconds.
The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

Southwest Gas Encourages Winter Safety and
Natural Gas Meter Shelter Installations
Protect natural gas meters and outdoor appliances from snow and iceBig Bear, Calif. With the arrival of winter, Southwest Gas reminds you of precautions you should take to ensure the safety of you and your family, as well as the safety of your neighbors and the public.
"At Southwest Gas, safety is paramount throughout the year," said Andy Hallman, Southwest's superintendent of operations in Big Bear. "During colder weather, heavy snow and ice falling from roofs can damage gas facilities. That's why we remind anyone clearing snow and ice from roofs to take special care and precautions. It's important to prevent accumulations on regulators, meters, and associated piping, because that can cause a gas leak and result in injury or damage."
Safety tips to protect against potential snow and ice accumulation and damage:
- Install a shelter above your natural gas meter to prevent snow and ice accumulation. Contact Southwest Gas at 1-800-654-2765 or at www.swgas.com/safety for information on how to build a shelter or for a contractor referral.
- Use a broom, instead of a shovel, when and where possible to clear snow and ice from natural gas meters and outdoor appliances, including regulators, associated piping, and propane appliances.
- Check to make sure snow and ice arent falling from the roof onto meters and outdoor appliances and keep them clear when shoveling or plowing.
- Keep all outside gutters free of leaves and debris, including those above or near the natural gas meter and outdoor appliances.
- Natural gas appliances require proper exhaust and ventilation. It's important to know the location of your air supply and exhaust ducts, and to keep them free of snow, ice, leaves, or other debris. Keeping vents clear can prevent operational problems for appliances and the accumulation of carbon monoxide in buildings. In California, make sure your residence has functioning carbon monoxide alarms as required by Health and Safety Code §17926.
Southwest Gas encourages anyone who suspects the release of natural gas to leave the area immediately, and from a safe place call 911 and the company at 1-800-867-9091. Indicators of a natural gas leak are the smell of rotten eggs, even if its slight or momentary, and/or a hissing noise coming from the ground or an above-ground pipeline. If a leak is suspected, avoid doing anything that could create a spark, such as lighting a match or turning an electrical appliance switch off or on.
Southwest Gas provides natural gas service to nearly 1.9 million customers in parts of Arizona, California and Nevada.
