About Samuel Abram
Excellent point. As a linguist, I can tell you that literal translations don't serve the reader the translated language. As an example, Imagine if you translated the floating island "Laputa" from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels into Spanish!
My dad was an audio engineer and he bequeathed me his setup. He was also a true audiophile.
I always buy CDs when I have the option because I'm free to rip them to any format I want, and unlike MP3s and AACs they don't come with my name and account ID embedded. CD's are also their own backup medium, which is another plus.
This is exactly why I put my stuff on bandcamp.
There are lots of people out there claiming that they can hear the compression artifacts compared to a "lossless" file or even a 24 bit file. But they can only do so as long as they know which file is the lossless one and which not. In a blinded test you cannot separate them.
It's true enough that a properly encoded Ogg file (or MP3, or AAC file) will be indistinguishable from the original at a moderate bitrate.
But what of badly encoded files?
Twenty years ago, all mp3 encoders were really bad by today's standards. Plenty of these old, bad encoders are still in use, presumably because the licenses are cheaper and most people can't tell or don't care about the difference anyway. Why would any company spend money to fix what it's completely unaware is broken?
Moving to a newer format like Vorbis or AAC doesn't necessarily help. For example, many companies and individuals used (and still use) FFmpeg's very-low-quality built-in Vorbis encoder because it was the default in FFmpeg and they were unaware how bad it was. AAC has an even longer history of widely-deployed, low-quality encoders; all mainstream lossy formats do.
Lossless formats like FLAC avoid any possibility of damaging audio fidelity [23] with a poor quality lossy encoder, or even by a good lossy encoder used incorrectly.
A second reason to distribute lossless formats is to avoid generational loss. Each reencode or transcode loses more data; even if the first encoding is transparent, it's very possible the second will have audible artifacts. This matters to anyone who might want to remix or sample from downloads. It especially matters to us codec researchers; we need clean audio to work with.
But does FLAC offer audio as good as DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD? If yes, you have a point. Otherwise, it's like burning MP3s to a CD; it's not as good as the lossless version.
Raise your hand if you listen to music in a large room, alone, with one listening position and don't raise an iPad, book or anything else to disturb the acoustics.
My dad was an audiophile, and when he died, his sound system that he left my family really does sound awesome
(My sound system isn't a bose, it consists of Von Schweikert VR3 speakers, a Tascam CD-RW2000 CD Player/Recorder, a Tact Audio RCS 2.2 X Preamp, a Rotel Power Amplifier RB-1090 and a Michell Engineering Gyro Dec Turntable with a Grado Prestige Gold 1 cartridge).
To be fair, this Blu-ray new format would really sound awesome if there were a new player for it. That being said, I'm perfectly happy with the Vinyl revival and CD-Rs I burn from lossless sources such as Bandcamp and Beatport. If there's gonna be another digital audio format, it should be Blu-ray quality but downloadable over the internet. The Major labels are insane if they ever think they're going to get relevant again (except to distribute label-less indies who have made it on, say, Billboard, like Ingrid Michaelson, Macklemore and Anamanaguchi)…
I actually agree with Out_of_the_blue too! What's happening to me?
Zach Gage, creator of Spell Tower and Bit Pilot, (and the extremely artistic "Lose/Lose" which I advise you NOT TO PLAY) had a hand in Ridiculous Fishing and did a lot of the programming. I've known him for a while and he is extremely talented as a game designer.
Good thing this year is Bloomberg's last term. Granted, he's done some good things (like improving the streetlights from walk/don't-walk to man/hand, updating the MTA by including LED displays for when the next train would come in Subway stations), but for all of that, he seems to have this fetish for banning Soft Drinks of a certain size and smoking in public places and removing the OWS from the city. He also is trying to replace public schools with corporate-run charter schools. I think the Stop and Frisk he'd introduced would be among the worst things he's done.
I'm so grateful he's going to leave.
This is basically bringing the concepts behind SOPA and PIPA from the US to the UK. The Russian Mafia wannabes at the MPAA apparently want to try to do to the UK what they failed to do in the US and realize Cory Doctorow's Nightmare.
I've seen intellectually deficient (the currently PC term for "mentally retarded") people with better apprehension skills than the MPAA.
Now, there are plenty of caveats to go with this, since many, many musicians who release music are unable to do so full time, so they don't show up in this chart at all. But by all indications more part time artists are also earning more money than ever before as well, with thousands of artists now being able to make some money, whereas in the past they couldn't make any.
Of course, it would be great to get even more artists making a full time salary, but the argument made by the RIAA and others that now is a bad time to be a full time, performing musician, making and releasing music, just doesn't seem supported by the numbers. It sure looks like there are many more full time, performing musicians now, it's just that many of them are independent (and making more).
Sorry, "Some of buddies" should be "Some of MY buddies".
Gaijin Games sure are good peeps. I met their dev team at Blip Fest 2009. Some of buddies in the Chip Music scene (like Anamanaguchi, Minusbaby (who did the artwork for my album The Aftermath) and Bit Shifter) have their music in their Bit.Trip games.
My favorite would have to be Bit Shifter's "Strange Comfort".
THIS is one that reasonable people could flip a coin over because so close, BUT still doesn't legitimize the grifting. If Kirtsaeng wants to profit from selling books, he should first write one, fact check and peer review it, find capital to get it published and marketed, pay all applicable taxes, risk it being pirated and him not getting money back, and so on. The rampant grifting where others do all the work and take all the risks needs to be outlawed.
St. Thomas More is like the embodiment of an honest, idealist politician than politicians in general. Hell, I have a feeling that if he were a Senator in the U.S. Congress, he'd actually (and genuinely) work for the benefit of his constituents instead of the corporations/Hollywood/[insert lobbyist group here].
You forgot Poland, er, I mean Sintel.
I suspect (without much boldness) that large Kickstarter success stories are still dependent on a preexisting support structure of funding and promotion, and perhaps that rather than functioning as a kind of crutch or welfare system for starving artists the site is simply a way of outsourcing more of the costs of their chief financiers to the eventual consumers.
I would love it if Zoë Lofgren replaced one of the two Senators currently serving California, especially Dianne Feinstein.

Report: Arizona Cardinals, Bruce Arians had dinner Wednesday night
Originally published: Jan 16, 2013 - 7:35 pm
ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted Arians and the Cardinals had dinner and then continued talks about the coaching vacancy Thursday.
Colts OC Bruce Arians is having dinner in Arizona tonight with Cardinals officials and will continue interviewing with them Thursday.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 17, 2013
NFL.com insider Ian Rapoport was the first to report Wednesday that Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who was a finalist for the Chicago Bears opening that has since been filled by Marc Trestman, would visit with Arizona on Thursday.
Arians was the Indianapolis Colts' offensive coordinator this past season, though he was the team's head coach for 12 games while Chuck Pagano was battling leukemia. The Colts went 9-3 under Arians.
Before this season, though, Arians was the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now 60, he helped the team reach two Super Bowls -- winning one -- and was a favorite of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Arians will follow Ray Horton, Jay Gruden, Todd Haley and Darrell Bevell as candidates who have interviewed with the team in the Valley.

The 3
day of the training for LSUHSC Facility Services personnel at the Dental School was held today as the equipment suppliers were on site providing training on their pieces of mechanical equipment.
The Dental School elevator contractor is continuing to work on completing repairs to the remaining elevators in the Clinic and Admin building.
The 1542 Tulane Ave. contractor continues to work on the electrical panels and drives in the basement, while the pipe insulation project continued in the rear of the basement.
The elevator contractor at 1542 Tulane Ave. received some additional equipment at the site.
Repairs to the sprinkler system piping at 1542 Tulane Ave. are being made.
LSUHSC has prepared and submitted a new Section 406 Hazard Mitigation proposal to FEMA through the State.
The proposal provides additional automation and special controls of elevators around the campus that will help to minimize the potential for damage should the campuses experience a similar event in the future.
The control system will allow LSUHSC Facilities personnel at a central location to override normal the fire/safety pre-sets that send elevators to the 1
floors when power is lost in the buildings.
The boards and controls would be programmed to move the elevators to selected upper floor locations where the elevator cabs and the cables beneath them would be kept out of any flood waters; protecting them from damage from rising water.
LSUHSC will proceed with securing a contract for this work as soon as we receive FEMA's approval of the proposal.

Pages App - pictures showing up wrong
2 problems..
i've created a 2 page flyer using one of the templates and added my own pictures in it. With the file open and looking how i want it to look, i select Share and email.
Problem 1
After adding only 2 photos to the second page after initially sending my the original document, it now tells me that the file size exceeds the allowed amount. Is it the number of pictures included in the file that makes it progressively larger?? I haven't tried "reduce file size" for fear of messing the whole thing up and not getting it back. Is that the answer?
Problem 2
Once i finally sent the image to an email and seeing it normal in my files, on the receiving end it actually shows up as the last 4 pictures i added were replaced with already existing ones on the same page, only multiplied, so there ended up being 3 sets of each photo. How the heck did that happen when i didn't do that?? i brought everything to the front, but have no idea how to stop random pictures from replacing others when everything looks great on my end. This is only happening on the second page, the first page is great and the edits hold as they should.
Help, i'm so frustrated..
|Jan 4, 2013, 05:43 PM
Any chance you could post a screenshot? I'm not really sure I understand the problem.

|Jan 4, 2013, 11:48 PM
the first is how it looks when i send it -thats why i have it open and then share directly from that page so that i don't select a wrong file by accident- and the second is how it shows up in the receivers email.
i've never placed the photos like that, so i have no idea why it decides to change them like that

NewsPress Release: 10/23/00New Assistant Director of Admissions
MARLBORO, VT - A world traveler joins the Marlboro College staff this year. Ross Colgate, originally from Oregon, arrives on Potash Hill by way of Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Scotland and Russia to be the new Assistant Director of Admissions.
A graduate of Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Colgate finished with degrees in economics and also in Russian language and culture. At this point of her self-proclaimed semi-nomadic life, she joins the Marlboro College admissions office with experience working with the Brattleboro-based School of International Training's Semester Abroad program, where students spend semesters at S.I.T.'s outposts around the world.
"Working at Marlboro is a different ballgame," says Colgate. "It's different talking to students about three and a half years of their lives rather than three months." At Marlboro, Colgate's duties entail much road work. She tours the country on the college fair circuit, doing individual high school visits and giving presentations about the college to groups of students.
Marlboro College is a four-year private liberal arts college in Marlboro, Vermont. It is distinguished by its philosophy of self-governance, its tradition of academic rigor and faculty-student interaction, and its liberal arts curriculum.

Peter Nelson, director of public policy at the Center for the American Experiment in Minneapolis, had a great oped on the costs of disclosure in the Minneapolis Star Tribune last week. Be sure to check it out. Here's a taste:
In my election law seminar in law school, I recall an interesting discussion on the impact of disclosure on professors. Whether the threat to their job is real or perceived, politically conservative professors tend to hide their beliefs until they get tenure. Disclosure, of course, compromises their right to keep their politics private. The Supreme Court has protected groups like the NAACP when there was a reasonable probability of threats and harassment.
The burden of disclosure on First Amendment rights is even greater when tied to a single, controversial issue on a ballot. It's one thing to be linked to the beliefs of a candidate or a party when no one expects agreement down the line; it's quite another thing to be tied to a single issue where there is no question about your position.
For what it's worth, I was in that election law seminar with Peter, and it was a very interesting discussion. There seemed to be a feeling, even among some more liberal participants, that in an age when you can know someone's political contributions through a Google search, disclosure truly can chill a person's speech.

The reboot. It's a time-honored e-tradition, a term that originated in geekdom and has flourished in geekdom. We've all seen the reboot be a success time and again in the past few years, and at Gaming Nexus, we couldn't help but wonder; if we could hit the reset button on a few classic titles, what would happen? What needs to be revisited, and whose games need to be completely re-envisioned?
Parappa the Rappa
When Parappa the Rappa first came on the scene in 1996, it was way ahead of it's time; a rhythm game about a rapping dog who it sold more than a million copies world-wide. Now, the plot may not have made any sense, but the rhythm-focused gameplay was a pretty novel idea at the time. Why, then, in this age of Guitar Heroes and Rock Bands has the game that opened up the doors in the US for this type of play been completely shut out? The time has come, Sony, to give an HD upgrade, with a plot that matters. Players could control PaRappa as he earns his way through the underground world of animated-animal-MC's, rhythm-gaming their way to a record deal.
Two words: giant robots. Ok, more like ten words: giant frickin' robots blowing the unholy crap out of each other. Seems like a no-brainer for a videogame, right? For three console generations, a whole mess of iterations on PC and Mac, and for decades now on the original tabletop game, FASA's Mechwarrior series has fallen by the wayside. The series last foray on console was on the Xbox back in 2004, and helped make Xbox LIVE a gaming institution. Sadly, the Mechwarrior series had already been eclipsed, to a degree, by 2002's Steel Battalion, a monster of a Mech-simulator that featured a massive 40-button controller. Now, I never had the pleasure of getting my hands on one of those and I heard that SB had its faults, but it strikes me that someone needs to revive the rich mythology of the Battletech series, which featured multiple factions, including mercenary units, and literally thousands of years of "history." The Mechwarrior series gives us two fantastic reboot options; either as a console RPG/Mech-sim, wherein a player could join any of a number of optional factions, play through missions and campaigns to earn money and experience to upgrade your BattleMech, which the player, given a controller of SB-proportions without the reportedly-plodding SB gameplay, could use to control a painstakingly detailed selection of dozens of Mechs. Another option, although I would be sad to see such a title leave the console arena, would be an MMORPG in the grand style of EVE Online, where players could have entire user-created or traditional factions, mercenary units and corporations, battling it out amongst the stars for galactic supremacy. (Although it looks like we might just get at least a portion of our wish on this one…)
Wing Commander
Wing Commander was a classic early 90's PC/console series that had you playing the role of young Lieutenant Chris Blair, an interstellar fighter pilot continually dog-fighting (cat-fighting?) the tiger-like Kilrathi race. The series was very popular throughout the 90's, and was one of the many that took advantage of full-motion-video technology and B-list actors (oh, Mark Hamill) to flesh out the fairly typical humans vs. aliens plot; but inside the typical sci-fi trappings, the writers managed to tell interesting human stories, and create characters that I actually wanted to chat with. The best part, as a young man, was that the gameplay was sweetly simple. Fly space-plane, shoot other space-planes, fly home. But as a seven-year-old coming off of the two-button NES, I was blown away by all the options I had at my fingertips: "I can change my heads-up-displays, set an auto-pilot, and cycle weapons? Sweet!" This game needs a straight console-reboot; keep the first-person-cockpit view, but render the heck out of it, and create even more little ways to completely immerse the player in that world. That's right; I don't just want a Mech-sim, I want a space-plane-sim too.

I have spent my fair share of road time behind the wheel of the Air Lift Performance Mustang GT, but have not had the opportunity to throw it around a real race track. So we packed up and headed for Waterford Hills road course. Keep in mind I come from a drag racing background so this was my first time on an actual road course, so this was unfamiliar territory.
The day started off with taking a ride in our black pony with our resident hot shoe and ALP Engineering Ringleader Brian Vinson. Half way through lap one I was starting to rethink the decision I made to have a sausage McMuffin earlier that day. As I clung on for dear life to anything within my grasp, it made me realize that this car carves corners like Grandpa carves turkey on Thanksgiving. Again not the best time to think of a food reference…. Brian was putting the car so hard into corners that most mortal men on traditional lowering springs or even coil-overs would cringe in fear.

Jameis Winston is the real deal.
Pittsburgh was a real opponent.
Completing 25 of 27 passes for 356 yards and four touchdowns and running for another, is an absolutely fabulous way to begin your college career.
Period. Let's leave it at that.
Unfortunately, social media users can't.
There seems to be a bit of Gator envy, including some of these tidbits from my crew on Facebook: "I am laughing my [butt] off at all of my Nole friends declaring their QB this year's Heisman winner after exactly one half of football ... against Pitt."
And this one:
"But, he was playing a defense that Lake Brantley High School might outplay too ... let's see him at Clemson or at Florida or at home against Miami."
Stop it, please.
And here's a question for the Gator Haters: Would you take Jameis Winston or Jeff Driskel right now if you wanted to pick a starting QB for your college football team?
This isn't a knock on Driskel. It's a compliment to Winston.
A kid made his first college start and was perfect. Oh, wait, he threw two incompletions and almost lost a fumble. His bad. And one more thing:
"I got sacked," Winston said after FSU defeated Pitt, 41-13. "I don't like getting sacked."
Of course, it's insane to talk about Heisman trophies or national titles. But it is fair to talk about a kid who has serious potential. I met him during FSU media day a few weeks ago, and what impressed me most about him was his presence.
He does not fear the moment. He is glib, articulate and polished, without a hint of stage fright.
It translates over to the football field as well. We saw that on Monday night.
Let's not hop on the Heisman bandwagon.
But give the kid a break.
And a big pat on the back.
He deserves as much.

Grey mould, caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea, is a very common disease, causing a growth of fuzzy grey mould. It infects many plants, especially those grown under glass where conditions are humid. It is also a common disease of soft fruit, such as gooseberries, strawberries and grapes.
Cyclamen grey mouldGreenhouse: ventilation and shadingSnowdrop grey mouldBroad bean chocolate spotGreenhouses: choosing
Grey mould is a disease caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea. It normally enters through a wound or infects plants under stress, but will infect healthy plants as well, especially under humid conditions. It can be expected at any time of year.
It is common on apples, grapes, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, beans, cucumber, courgettes, lettuce and tomatoes. It is also a problem for plants grown under glass, where conditions can be humid and overcrowded. It will infect Chrysanthemum, Cyclamen, Pelargonium, Primula and, in fact, most ornamental plants.
You may see the following symptoms:
No fungicides are approved for use against grey mould by gardeners. Products containing plant and fish oil blends (Vitax Organic 2 in 1) may be used, but are not recommended by the manufacturers for grey mould control and are unlikely to have much impact. Use of other fungicides to control other disease problems may give some incidental control of grey mould, but this is not guaranteed by the manufacturers.
Fungicides for gardeners (Adobe Acrobat pdf document outlining fungicides available to gardeners)
Botrytis cinerea is an ubiquitous fungus, whose airborne spores are always present. It thrives as a saprophyte (a micro-organism living on dead organic material), but can also infect living plants under certain conditions. On green plant parts a wound or other stress is usually needed for infection, but on flowers and fruits it can infect without wounds, particularly under humid conditions.
It is also able to cause latent infections where the plant is infected but symptoms of the disease may not be produced for a considerable time. In some fruit crops the fungus enters flowers and colonises the developing fruit, but does not break out and cause a rot until the fruit begins to ripen and sugar content rises. This is very noticeable with strawberries. It can also cause latent infections in primulas, where recent research has shown the fungus is seed-borne and develops with the plant, only breaking out after considerable growth has occurred.
The fungus forms black, seed-like resting structures (sclerotia) in dead plant tissue which can carry the fungus through periods when host plants are scarce. These germinate to generate the sexual structures which in turn release a second, sexual, spore. These can initiate infections, but most of the damage is done by spread of the airborne, asexual spores (conidia) released from the fuzzy grey fungal growth.
A note on the latin name: Because the existence of the sexual stage is known, the fungus should be known by the name of the sexual state, Botryotinia fuckeliana; however the name Botrytis cinerea is much better known to gardeners and is retained here.
Botrytis cinerea has a very wide host range, but there a number of closely related species which are much more specific in their host, including those infecting snowdrop (B. galanthina), peony (B. peoniae) and broad bean (B. fabae).

Report: Free-agent guard C.J. Miles leaning toward signing with Lakers
A source tells Brian T. Smith of the Salt Lake Tribune that free-agent guard C.J. Miles has a number of suitors, but that at the moment he favors the Los Angeles Lakers.
C.J. Miles continues to explore free agent options and has narrowed decision to a few teams. Could sign in next 2-3 days.—
Brian T. Smith (@tribjazz) July 31, 2012
C.J. Miles considering signing one or two-year deal with Lakers, source says, likely for mini mid-level.—
Brian T. Smith (@tribjazz) July 31, 2012
Miles' other options are strong, but Lakers have current edge.—
Brian T. Smith (@tribjazz) July 31, 2012
Miles, 25, has spent his entire seven-year career with the Utah Jazz, who drafted him out of high school in 2005. He averaged 12.8 points two seasons ago but otherwise has never been in double figures, scoring 9.1 per game this past season.
However, Miles' athleticism and defensive skills are also above average, making him a valuable reserve even if he is not a high-volume scorer.

About the Artist
Otto Werner
Born in Aachen, Germany, I grew up in Ontario, Canada, where I still live with my husband (the love of my life) and family, from which comes the inspiration for much of my work.
My vibrant watercolors, acrylic and oil paintings cannot be labelled in only one category. My paintings reflect my life: enriched with excitement as well as quiet times. My fascination with capturing a flash of movement in a motionless art form is evident in my sports paintings and energetic portraits. Moments of tenderness are reflected in my still life art, gardens and landscapes. Humor and silliness reflect in my fantasy illustrations.
Many aspects of my life are mirrored in my paintings. I am inspired by daily occurrences: the way a beam of sunlight can...

Mark Pocan is running for Tammy Baldwin's seat in the Wisconsin 2nd District; Tammy Baldwin is currently running for Senate hoping to replace retiring Senator Herb Kohl.Mark Pocan has spent the last 13 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly representing one of the strongest progressive districts in the state. Yet his political roots took hold in blue-collar Kenosha, Wisconsin where he got his start at age eight delivering campaign literature door-to-door for his father, a long-time city alderman.
In his six terms as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, Pocan has earned numerous awards for both his legislative victories and his community service. He helped create the Wisconsin Quality Home Care Commission, authored the American Jobs Act and the Compassionate Care for Rape Victims Act and was deeply involved in many progressive initiatives focused on collective bargaining rights, public financing of clean elections, domestic partner protections and corrections reform.
State Rep. Mark Pocan has, since his election to the state Legislature in 1998, been a leader in the fight to educate and engage citizens with the struggle over the failed "free trade" consensus. While trade agreements are negotiated -- usually in secret -- by presidential administrations and voted on by Congress, there are highly significant consequences for states.
For six years Pocan sat on the state's powerful budget writing Joint Finance Committee, including a term as co-chair last session. He has also taken on a leading role among Assembly Democrats, running caucus campaign efforts in 2008 when Democrats went from five seats to successfully retaking the majority for the first time in 14 years.

Hello all, I am mew to BFL and am just wondering which protein I should be using to lose fat and build muscle. I want to fit into the 'lean and strong category - that is I'm 142 lbs at 5"4 at 30% bodyfat. I am looking to lose about 12% fat and build about 10 pounds of lean muscle (approx) I am wanting to use EAS 100% Whey protein with CLA. Will this help me achieve my desired results or should I be using myoplex lite instead? I am asking because I have noticed that many women on this site who have achieved the results I am looking for specifically have used Myoplex lite protein and not many have used 100% whey. Is 100% better for men ; ie: bulikng up, or can women use it to lean and tone or get stronger (but not too muscular) as well?
Thanks! All input is appreciated greatly!
In my humble opinion Myoplex Lite "tastes" better so more use it. Myoplex lite is also a complete meal replacement. EAS 100% Whey Protein will require you to add more carbs to get it up to being a completel meal. Either one is fine. I use Myoplex Lite when not at home and EAS 100% Whey when I'm at home.
You results will be more impacted by your efforts with the workouts and with eating clean healthy foods so don't lose sight of that while choosing products.
Hope this helps!!
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right ~ Henry Ford
Michelle Simpson ~2009 Body-for-LIFE Champion 46+ Catagory
Thanks for the info Champster09! I will use 100% whey because of cost convenience. I don't mind that it is not a complete meal shake. I am planning to add oatmeal or probably berries with my shakes to cover that part of it. The Myoplex lite even in the 20 packet box you can buy would just get too expensive for me to buy. I would be buying one a week. I found a site where I can get EAS 100% whey protein for $22.99 for a 2 lb tub at 30 servings per tub. Even if I buy 2 per month I pay only about $45 ($60 w/ shipping as opposed to about $200 for the lite shakes. I am planning to eat regular clean foods at my 3 regular meals and the shakes in between and after workouts.
Tamara - if you belong to Sam's Club they carry EAS whey powder in 5-lb. bags at a very reasonable price.
Want it. Plan it. Do it.
Thanks! I don't but I'll check it out
I agree completely. I bought EAS Premium Protein at Costco in the bags as well. It's worked for me for 3 years. Myo
They used to carry the EAS Myoplex in my local Costco then I disappeared (and other products replaced it Muscle MK for example) any thoughts on how I could get them to carry it again folks?
WPBill - start by asking the manager. I don't know about Costco, but I have been able to special order items through other stores by just asking.
For help finding EAS products in your area, check our store locator: abbottnutrition.com/StoreLocator.aspx. And don't forget about our home delivery web site at http://www.abbottstore.com/. And saralynn is right about speaking with the store manager at any retail store. Hope that helps! ~Brooke @BFL

text: About CU Online CU Online is a university-wide initiative providing coordination and support of the three educational divisions of Cornerstone University in the area of online education. Its primary goal is to increase the number of high-quality online undergraduate degrees available to individuals (in the United States and globally) who find it difficult or impossible to attend class in a physical location. CU Online does not admit and register students, nor does it develop and deliver online courses; rather it facilitates these activities related to online learning by providing leadership, direction and support to the entire university community. Students are actually admitted and register with each specific division within the university depending on the program desired. The Value of a Cornerstone Education Cornerstone University offers accredited online undergraduate degrees and adult college education taught from a distinctively Christian worldview. Offering you the convenience of studying from anywhere at any time, Cornerstone remains committed to training you to apply biblical principles in this rapidly changing world. Through CU Online, you will gain the tools, experiences and relationships to enable you to become a leader of character and challenge the integration of faith with all aspects of your professional and personal life. Accreditation Cornerstone University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). NCA/HLC 30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2400 Chicago, Illinois 60602-2504 (800) 621-7440 www.ncahlc.org As an institution accredited by the HLC, it is our aim to measure student learning in relationship to the curricular and co-curricular goals of the university, for the purpose of providing a quality educational experience for each student through continual enhancement of programs and services.

Different Than a Traditional Classroom You may have already experienced learning in a traditional classroom environment. In traditional educational settings, students go to the school campus to locate a classroom where most of their learning occurs. In an online environment, students gather in a virtual classroom. Their learning environment is found on any computer that is connected to the Internet. This is one of many aspects of online education that students find attractive. The idea of not commuting to campus and sitting in a classroom is very appealing, particularly to those who are not full-time students, have a family, are employed full-time or have other responsibilities that require more time away from home. Easy Access Online learning takes place in the context of a web-based Learning Management System (LMS). The benefit of using an LMS is that all necessary elements for the course such as: viewing course materials, communicating with your professor and fellow-classmates, quizzing and grading are integrated into one location. Cornerstone University's LMS is easy to use and does not require any advanced computer knowledge; only certain basic computer skills are necessary to succeed as an online student. Relevant Learning Environment An online student already has their own unique environment, such as work, family, or local church interaction. Each of these environments contribute to a relevant, practical and individualized online-learning experience. It builds upon the social and circumstantial, daily activity in which the student participates. It is especially important for adult learners to bring learning home, specifically offline. In many ways these all provide a richer learning environment than that of the traditional face-to-face classroom. Technical Requirements Minimum Hardware Specifications The computer hardware and the Internet connection for accessing course work are the primary means of participating in an online class and thus are significant contributors to academic success at Cornerstone University. It is essential that students have ready access to a computer with Internet access that meets the following minimum specifications: 2.33 GHz or faster x-86 –compatible processor 256 Mb of RAM (1Gb of RAM is recommended) 128Mb of graphics memory Windows XP (32-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit) or Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) Internet Explorer 7 and above OR Mozilla Firefox 4.0 and above Microsoft Office or similar‡ Adobe Reader X Adobe Flash Player 10 and above NOTE: It is not essential that students know the meaning of these specifications. However they should refer to the computer manual and documentation to verify that capacity and speed meets these specifications. * Cornerstone University is a Windows PC-based school, therefore we are not able to actively support MacIntosh or Linux-based computers. ‡Assignments must be completed in Microsoft Office 2003/07/10 compatible file formats. If you are able to save and open Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files (doc/x, xls/x, ppt/x) you should be able to participate in coursework. Mobile Learning Take your learning on the road. Thanks to mobile technology and online education programs, whatever location you find yourself in can be transformed into a classroom. By providing textbooks and other learning resources electronically, in formats that are accessible on mobile devices, Cornerstone University is making mobile learning a real possibility for students.

A question for the more "seasoned" professional... (pun intended!)
Wed, 06/26/13 10:13 AM
Hello there Roadfood forum members! My name is Ryan and I am a new business owner that would like to pick your brains. First off I've been a professional chef for 13 years and have spent my entire life around the food industry.
I'm finally taking the next step in my career as a chef and opening my own place. We are building this restaurant from the ground up so I will need to purchase all the kitchen equipment that is going to be used. I have a good idea of what items I want but here is some question I have for you.
Buy used or go new?
I know used items are a great deal and you can find lighty used equipment on the cheap but I don't want to spend a fortune keeping them working. I've seen owners buy equipment that was so cheap it ended up costing them a lot in repairs and maintenance down the road.
Are there some brands that you've had good luck with buying used already?
Is there a go to website that the restaurant community uses for shopping and comparing? I've found lots of sites but are there any that you can say from experience are better than others?
So thats just my first thoughts... I look forward to getting to know the members of the forums, getting good advice, and giving advice!

Congrats on the move up in the food chain!!
Used is fine if you're handy and can really get things checked out. Stuff can and will go bad and need replacing (new or used) so buying used is risk-especially if you have to rely on an expensive company to do all the repairs. New is great as it usually has a warranty and for not much more can be extended...although not much usually happens within the warranty period.
As for brands Jade has been my favorite so far. Everyone will be different though...I've had great and bad luck with just about all brands so go with whats easily serviced in your area, who has great representation in your area and who's easiest to find parts. Wolf is a great (and little cheaper) version of Vulcan, Imperial has some good models, Bakers Pride makes good ovens, etc. Just try to get appropriate equipment-using a low volume, economy range for high volume business is asking for problems.
Ebay is great for looking at used equipment as is Craigslist. I've had stuff shipped in from all over and found killer deals locally as well. Don't forget Search Tempest-you can search all the CL ads around out (or the whole country if you like). Many online companies have ebay storefronts you can find and really get to see a variety of different makes and modes.
What kind of food are you doing? What kind of equipment are you thinking about getting? Have you found a good local company that is going to do your stainless work?

I think a Flat Grill, Char Broiler, Hood/ vents, and fan are fine used. I like to make sure a Dbl Convection oven is working right and with the right temps, so new would be good. All SS counters are fine used. Refers and freezers s/b new. Fryer s/b new, some people beat the **** out of them, plus there is a bit more going on in the inside.....................Good luck Chef, welcome to Roadfood...................pnwc

when you think of a brand and maybe a model Google owners manuals for them.I have bought what I thought was modern and find they don't make them anymore 4 yrs later and I can't get a manual.If a manual is available then the brand and model is still around.The manufacturer won't keep selling what the public doesn't want and the public doesn't want crap.You can also Google reviews about models.

Use ebay and local classifieds to find used equipment, and then find reviews online. You can often find buying guides for each particular item type that can help narrow it down to particular brands and models. Also keep an eye out for bankruptcy sales as you can often find items being sold in situe pretty cheap.
Good luck with your business.

Authentify: Aligning Company Needs With Employee Goals
"What are your interests?" "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
Sure, those generic questions are rather commonplace in an interview setting and often draw calculated — and sometimes memorized — responses.
But don't expect a job interview at Authentify, a provider of out-of-band authentication solutions, to consist of run-of-the-mill dialogue with the sole purpose of furthering the company's interests.
Candidates who are selected to appear for in-person interviews at the company must be prepared not only to discuss their professional competencies, but also to be candid about their personal and professional interests. Andy Rolfe, executive vice president of development and operations at Authentify, uses this technique to determine whether a candidate is a good fit for the organization.
"In general, I'm a strong believer in trying to find people who are excited about the roles that they [want to be] in," Rolfe said. "And I think the company's interests and their interests, goals and aspirations — both personal and technical — is a very important mix.
"When I was a manager in a big business, [we] hired to a role [or] a position, but I try not to do that as much here," he continued. "I try to hire to the candidate's strengths. So I will dig pretty deeply and ask them pretty straightforward questions about what their goals are, where they want to be in five years and what their interests are."

I'm no expert and am sure others might have better ideas, but you might consider using a drop elbow mounted below the floor.
See here for illustrations that might give you some ideas:
It's for a clawfoot tub I just bought. The faucet sits on 2 x 3/4" risers but how do I plumb and secure the risers at the floor? Here are the instructions http://www.costco.ca/images/content/...stallation.pdf. The only relevant instruction they give is "Position floor pipe into water supply tube". How do I secure the "water supply tube" under the floor? Is their some sort of special flange that I need to get?

I'm no expert and am sure others might have better ideas, but you might consider using a drop elbow mounted below the floor.
See here for illustrations that might give you some ideas:
Yeah, this was my first thought but I'm not sure if they are strong enough to carry about 10lbs of faucet 3' above them.
I'd do this:
1. put in some blocking below the floor.
2. screw some brass drop-ear el's to the blocking (you may need to do this first before mounting the blocking - measuring will be critical as you want the pipes both vertical and at the right offset). Make the holes in the subflooring as close fitting as you can - that would give you three points, the fitting, the floor, and the flange to provide 'sway' control to keep the thing vertical.
3. insert the risers
4. install the floor flanges.
... per the instruction sheets.
The floor flanges, if designed well, combined with the attachment points below the floor should provide a fair amount of stiffness for the fixture. It would be better if there was some way to attach it to either the wall or the tub at the top, then it would be very solid. But, if the thing is designed well, that should be sufficient. Now, you won't be able to hang off the thing, but it should be reasonably strong.

The one I found on the net that looks like yours has 2 chrome brackets connected to the waste and overflow for the water pipe. The rough-in for the water should be two female adaptors secured below the floor that your upright pipes screw into, it may or may not pertain to you.
Thanks jadnashua these were the lines I was thinking along. Prob'ly add some caulk at the floor where the pipe comes through for additional stiffness. One thing to note however is that the risers don't have a tapered thread and the el's will so I'm a bit concerned about lack of penetration.
There is no overflow to attach to shacko. Well of course there is but it's integrated into the tub so no pipe. I'm going to be fairly close to the wall so if I can find a chromed curtain/wardrobe/shower rail hanger of appropriate dimensions I'll consider securing to the wall also.

The connections under the floor will NEVER support or stabilize the faucet and risers. In fact, if they are NOT stabilized with the mounting bracket which attaches to the tub's waste and overflow, any movement will BREAK the connection at the floor if it is TOO rigid.
Unless your assembly came with seals and fittings to make the connection underneath the floor, you'll have a hard time finding an el with straight threads and a gasket to make the seal. As opposed to the more common tapered threads where tape or dope will create a seal, in straight threads, it's more like a hose connection, and you need to compress it against a gasket (which can degrade and eventually leak). Caulk won't help make the lines any more stable. As HJ said, unless you can anchor that thing somewhere higher up, it won't be all that stable. If the floor brackets are to be any help, the pipe and the hole it goes through in the bracket must have essentially no slop, as the stability would only be from those two support points: the el and the bracket. The further apart they are, the better it will be at stability, but you are relying on the stiffness of the pipe to then keep it in position. Pulling on the hand-held, and even just turning the valves on may overwhelm it. You need something to stabilize the top end for maximum reliability. Is there a wall anywhere near that you could maybe find a finished bracket to run to?

It'll be fairly close to the wall so brackets aren't out of the question. I've emailed the manufacturer to ask what sort of fittings they suggest for the risers and where I can get them.
The fittings will usually be ANY fitting with a standard 1/2" ips tapered thread,NOT one with a straight thread. HOW you secure the fitting in place will depend on which one you use and how it can be fastened to the building's structure. That part #36 was designed by an IDIOT. He KNEW the distance between the pipes because his company made the faucet so it does NOT have to be adjustable, AND most companies use a "T" fitting in the center which then fastens to the wall or the tub's overflow riser with another rod and attachment of some kind.
Last edited by hj; 05-10-2010 at 05:54 PM.
I got a reply from the manufacturer and they suggest the following. The bottom end of the riser tubes have a parallel threaded section about 3" long. I should purchase 4 nuts to fit this size thread. On each pipe one nut should be placed on the threaded section as far up as it can go. The risers should be inserted through appropriately sized/spaced holes in the floor and the second nut secured on the pipe below the floor. This will sandwich the floor between the 2 nuts thus securing the risers. Connection to the water supply should be made by means of flex hoses.
Does this sound reasonable to you guys? Are these flex hoses even designed for a completely enclosed, underfloor, installation?
It sounds a bit of a pain this way because the final assembly needs to be done in coordination with the floor being finished i.e. I'll need to finish the floor where the faucet is to be installed with the adjacent floor open for access. Alternatively I'll need to open the ceiling below for access which isn't really an option.
I said part #36 was designed by an "idiot", now it appears you have been talking to the same person because that installation description is almost as bad. The risers are at least 2' long. Do you, or he, realize how MUCH force you can exert on the fastenings at the floor if you even lean against the faucet? The faucet MUST be stabilized somewhere close to the top of the risers. If you check Kohler part # K-127 you will see a "cross connection" which stabilizes the risers. When used with the proper Kohler drain there is a 1/4" tapped hole for the cross connection to fasten to, but I just drill and tap the rear of the overflow fitting and screw it in. Other companies use a bracket with three holes. One slides over the overflow riser and clamps to it, and the risers are fastened into the other two openings.

the frame arrived in a box along with almost a cup of sand. The sand was all over and inside all of the pieces. The frame itself was even built incorrectly. One of the pieces was welded backwards meaning i could get a bracket to attach. The frame itself was a scuffed up and had rusty screws it it as if the frame has been used and abused for years. It was as if they found the frame on the beach and decided to box it and sell it. In all I am very disappointed in the product.
Totally impressed with this item. Super sturdy and not too low to the ground. Perfect height and a ton if storage underneath.
I would recommend this product. It is very sturdy and my son is enjoying his new bed. My only concern was how the company who put it in the box, packaged it. It actually lacked in good packing and the product slid around in the box during transit...by the time I received it, both the product and the box were pretty "banged up".....I was surprised how little damage was done to the product.
Ok, so I don't how someone can say something negative about this bed frame, but I have a POSITIVE experience with this. Before I ordered this frame, I read both the good and the bad reviews, and as for myself; this is GREAT buy. I ordered it one day, selected standard 5-10 business days and I got it within 2 days! I built it myself, it was easy, it was simple, it was a 5 step process!
I purchased this cool arch platform frame for my 17 year old son and he loves it! He and my husband assemblied it with joy and were fascinated with the design. It has an unique open design which is great for a small bedroom, and it allows you to slide storage boxes under the bed. We added his top mattress and he was set. There are also small protectors on the feet to protect hardood floors or carpet and the bed stays in place. Even though there is no headboard, we don't miss it. The arch bed has a contempory look and is a great value. My big, 6 foot son has slep on it for several months and it appears to be quite strong. He says he plans to take it with him when he leaves one day. We are please with this excellent product!
Very solid frame, went together well with the help of husband. Seems to be well made.
It looks exactly like the picture. It was easy to put together. We kept the box spring to create more height. The mattress can slide around and needs to be realigned every so often.
I love the modern look this frame has added to my room. It was easy to put together and it has maintained it's sturdiness for a little more than 7 months . This was a great investment.
very solid, easy to put together, looks great , great value. recommend to all
This product was delivered quickly and was quite easy to assemble. It only took minutest to put together with easy to read instructions. All the pieces were there and there were no dents or scratches anywhere. It is very sturdy and I really like the unique modern look, unlike the other standard "square" wooden bed platforms. I'm very happy with this product! It will last a life time!
