Florida, (so called by Juan Ponce de Leon in 1812, from having discovered the coast on Pascua Florida, the name, in Spanish, for Easter.) the southern most state in the union. lies between 25° and 31° north latitude, and 80° and 87° west longitude from Greenwich; and is bounded north by Alabama and Georgia, east by the Atlantic, south by the Gulf of Mexico and west by the Gulf of Mexico and Alabama. Its superficial area is 59,000 square miles, of which but about one half is yet surveyed and occupied.
Physical Aspect-- The face of the country is generally level, and not much elevated above the sea, through we find along the whole northern boundary considerable diversity of surfaces. A base of calcareous rock commences in the northern part of the state, and probably extends under the whole peninsula. This friable stone outcrops the surface of St Augustine, and other parts on the main, and reappears again on the southern keys, as well as on the Bahamas, and the northern shores of Cuba, on the opposite side of the gulf. In Florida, this formation is generally overlaid by deep super-strata of clay, shells and sand. The soil, however, generally is sandy, except in places called "hummocks" where it consists either of reddish-yellow or black clay mixed with sand. The Hummocks, which are numerous and much scattered throughout the state, vary from a few acres to several miles in extent, and constitute no small part of the peninsula. Another inconsiderable portion of Florida consists in what is generally known in the south by the name "pine barrens", much of the soil of which is exceedingly poor; through there are extreme tracts of Hummock, tableland, and swamp, of the richest character, well adapted to cultivation. These barrens, whenever intersected by streams of pure water, however poor they may be, afford excellent ranges for grazing. The southern portion of the state presents singular alterations of savannas, hummocks, lakes and grass-ponds, called collectively "everglades", which extend from Cape Sable into the heart of the country for several hundred miles. This region, including two large swamps, one named Atsenahooffa, on the western side, and the other Halpabeoka, on the northeastern side, embracing the large lake Okeechobee, covers an area of 7,000,000 acres, 4,500,000 of which are usually submerged in water, from two to seven feet deep. The "Pahhayokee" or "grass-water" as the Indians call the everglades comprises from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 acres of submerged lands. The basin of the everglades is surrounded by a rim of soft lime rock, from half a mile to five miles in width, and its bottom is represented to be some 12 to 15 feet above the level of the sea. Deep tide rivers extend from the ocean and gulf quite up to the margin of the river; and comparatively at a small outlay, millions of acres of land are now worthless, could be drained by canals, and brought into the highest state of improvement. Within this basin are thousands of islets of the richest class of land, and the glades are often filled with tall grass from six to ten feet in height, the annual decay of which has occasioned a deposit in the water from two to six feet thick. The tract lies south of 27° of north latitude, where there is seldom or no frost; and if it were reclaimed, as suggested above, it would be adapted to the cultivation of the orange, the pineapple, rice, sugarcane and other tropical plants.
Rivers, Lakes and Bays-- The principal rivers are the St John's, Appalachicola, Suwanee, St Mark's, St Mary's, Ocklocony, Escambia, Withlacoochee, Oscilla, Choctawhatchee, Yellow-Water, Amasura, Anclota, Hillsborough, Charlotte, Gallivan's, Young's, Kissimee, and the Perdido; the latter of which forms the western boundary between this state and Alabama. The St John's is an anomaly among rives of the Atlantic coast. Its source is rather undefinable, being derived from the flat grassy plains, or savannas, is about latitude 28° north, probably not more then 20 miles from the sea. It is exceedingly winding in its course, running in a northerly direction, to a distance of nearly 300 miles. In some places it has more the appearance of a lake, or sound, than a river, swelling out from three to five miles in breadth: while in other parts it dwindles down to a quarter of a mile wide. Vessels drawing eight feet of water ascend to Lake George, a beautiful expansion of this stream, 150 miles from its mouth. The chief lakes are, the Great Okeechobee, George, Dunn's, Cypress, Monroe, Orange, Istopoga, Tobokopoligia, Weeok, Yakapka, Jessup, Harney, Eustis, Poinsett, Beresford, Ashey, Winsor, Gardiner, Griffin and Gentry. There are numerous bays on the western side, some of which form good harbors. Among these are Perdido, Pensacola, Choctawhatchic, St Andrew's, St Joseph's, Appalachicola, Appalachee, Tampa, Charlotte and Gallivan's. In front of Pensacola bay is a long shallow lagoon, called Santa Rosa sound. On the east coast of the state there are but few bays, properly speaking, Fernandina bay forms the mouth of St Mary's river. Mosquito and Indian river, or St Lucia sounds are situated near Cape Canaveral, which are entered by inlets of the same names. Many of the rivers on this side of the peninsula form good harbors for coasting vessels.
Island and Keys-- Florida is remarkable for the great number of small low islets which lie in the vicinity of its shores, called "Keys". The most noted of these are Key West (formerly called Thompson's Island), Indian, Sand, Pine and Cedar keys. The most noted islands are, Merit's, and Hutchinson's, near Cape Canaveral; Amelia island, near St Mary's sound; Sanybel, Pine, Captive and Gasparilla islands, near Charlotte harbor; Mullet island, near Tampa bay; St George's and Dog islands, near Appalachicola bay; Santa Rosa island, near Pensacola bay; and Drayton island in Lake George. Cape Sable is the southern most point in the United States
Climate-- Florida presents some diversity of seasons; but the difference of relative level being small, and surrounded as it is by water on three sides, it enjoys a climate peculiar to itself. On the seaboard it is generally healthy for eight or nine months in the year, and in some parts remarkably so the whole year round. In the interior, it is quite as salubrious as it is in either of the other southern states, unless it be in the vicinity of marshes, or stagnant waters, where fevers and other epidemics invariably prevail. The winters are mild, and usually without frost, through the mercury occasionally sinks to 30°, and sometimes as low as 26°; in summer, the temperature seldom exceeds 97°. The climate of the southernmost keys is truly tropical.
Productive Resources-- The staple products consist of horses, mules, neat cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, hay, wool, tobacco, cotton, wheat, oats, potatoes, oranges, sugar, molasses, and Indian corn. The forests produce an abundance of live oak timber, cedar, and yellow pine. Turtle and other fisheries are carried on some what extensively among the keys. Salt is made in small quantities and granite is quarried to some extent
Manufactures-- Florida being mostly an agricultural state, but little attention as yet has been paid to manufactures. In 1850 there were but 121 manufacturing establishments, producing to the extent of $500 and upward each annually.
Railroads and Canals-- The legislature of Florida has granted several charters for railroads in this state, but thus far there are neither railroads nor canals within its boarders.
Commerce-- The direct foreign commerce of Florida amounts to about $3,000,000 annually. Shipments are also extensively made through New Orleans and the Atlantic ports. The coasting trade of Florida is also considerable. The shipping in the state amounts to about 12,000 tons.
Education-- The constitution of Florida provides for the establishment of common schools through out the state, but thus far little progress has been made in affording facilities for elementary education. There are academies and grammar schools in the more populous towns, but no collegiate institutions.
Populations-- In 1830 was 34,723; in 1840 was 54,477; in 1850 was 87,401. Number of slaves in 1830 was 15,501; in 1840 was 25,717 and in 1850 was 39,309
Government-- The legislative power is vested in a senate and house of representatives. The senate consists of 19 members, elected by the people, in districts for two years. The representatives are elected by the people by counties biannually, their number never to exceed sixty; present number, thirty. Biennial election, first Monday in October. The executive power is vested in a governor, who is chosen by the people once in four years, and is not eligible the succeeding term. The judicial power is vested in a supreme court, having appellate jurisdiction only; also in circuit courts, the state being divided into four circuits, in each of which a judge of the supreme court has jurisdiction. The judges are elected by the legislature, at first for five years; after that term, during good behavior. There are also courts of probate. The right of suffrage may be exercised by every free white man, aged 21 years or upward, who has resided in the state for two years, and in the county for six months, and who shall be enrolled in the militia, or be by law exempted from service therein.
History--The present state of Florida embraces a portion of the ancient Florida, which extended from its southernmost cape to the river Panuco, in Mexico, and westward to the Pacific, and the undefended regions on the north. It was first explored by Juan Ponce de Leon, in 1512, in search of a spring called the "fountain of youth", which was supposed to have the power of renewing vigor of youth in the aged. In 1526, it was formally taken possession of in the name of the king of Spain, by Pamphilo de Narvaezm who had been sent out as governor. The first permanent settlements were made at St Augustine, in 1565, and at Pensacola, in 1666; though an unsuccessful attempt had been made by a colony of Huguenots, in 1562-74, under Ribault. Though often invaded by the English and French, this territory remained a part of the Spanish dominions until 1763, when it was ceded to Great Britain, but restored again to Spain in 1783. From the year 1699 to 1763, the acknowledged boundary between Florida and Louisiana was the river Perdido, but when the latter came into the possession of the Spaniards, for convenience, West Florida was extended to the Mississippi. From this circumstance arose the difficulties between Spain and the United States, on their purchase of Louisiana of the French, in 1803. In 1783, Governor Galvez, of Louisiana invaded and conquered West Florida; but by the treaty of Paris, in 1783, it fell once more to Spain, who held it until 1798, when this portion of Florida, which was claimed as far north as Altamala river, in Georgia, was relinquished to the United States. By virtue of their claims to that portion of Louisiana lying between the Mississippi and Perdido rivers, as held by France prior to 1763, the United States in 1811, seized Baton Rouge, and all other parts of the disputed territory west of Perdido, except Mobile, which was surrender in 1812. After s protracted and uninterrupted negotiation, Florida was ceded to the United States in 1819, ratified by Congress as a territory in 1821, and admitted into the Union as an independent state in 1845.

Key West, FL
Seat of justice of Monroe Co, FL, situated on one of the most southerly keys of that state, formerly known as Thompson's island and containing a military station of the United States. Water by the straits of Florida.
Population: in 1850 was 1,943
City, and seat of justice of Escambia county, FL, situated on the bay of the same name, in Escambia Co, about 16 miles from the gulf of Mexico, 242 miles west of Tallahassee, and 1,042 miles from Washington, is the principal port of entry and city on Florida. The site is a low sandy plain, extending into the harbor, making it too shallow near the town for large vessels, which are obliged to anchor at a distance. The entrance to the port is deeper than any other on the north coast of the gulf. Five miles above the mouth, is one of the United States navy yards. The city is parallelogram with regular streets and public squares. It was among the earliest settlements in Florida having been founded in 1699, by a Spanish officer.
The population in 1830 was about 2,000; in 1840 was about 2,000 and in 1850 was 3,164
Tallahassee, FL
City, seat of justice of Leon Co, and capital of the state of Florida; from Washington 896 miles. Situated in the midst of a fertile and undulating region, upon elevated ground, from which several pure springs issue and unite in a good mill stream. This city, like the state, is of recent growth. Thirty years ago, its site was a luxuriant but unpeopled wilderness. It is now an increasing town, laid out with streets and public squares, with respectable buildings. It has a statehouse, churches, jail, market house, bank and other conspicuous edifices. Twenty miles south of Tallahassee is St Marks, on the Gulf of Mexico, where ships discharge their cargoes bound for the capital, to which a railroad conveys them. The population varies in winter and in summer. In the former season, many resort to this place from colder regions to enjoy the mild and salubrious climate.
Population: In 1826, there were about 800 inhabitants; in 1830 was 1,500; in 1840 was 1,616 to 2,500 and in 1850 was (blank).

More than 5 million people began paying off federal student loan debt between October 1, 2013 and September 30, 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Education. And not all of them were young people.
The number of borrowers over the age of 60 with student loan debt has quadrupled over the past decade in the United States. Of the more than 5 million people, 580,671 of them — or 11.5 percent — defaulted on their loans. This is a slight increase from the previous year's 11.3 percent and the first time the percentage has increased in the last five years.
Many have accumulated the debt helping their children or grandchildren, either by borrowing directly or co-signing on student loans. As these borrowers age, it becomes more difficult to afford the monthly payments while also paying for necessary food, housing, prescriptions, and medical expenses.
Seniors living month-to-month on fixed incomes are most likely to default. When this happens to borrowers 65 and older, a portion of their social security benefits can be seized by the government. Many seniors who are carrying federal student loan debt are eligible for income-based repayment plans, but student loan servicing companies have not made it easy for borrowers to enroll in these programs or even let them know it is an option.
For Florida seniors who are struggling with student loan debt, relief options are available. Many student loan borrowers are unaware that they have rights and repayment options available to them, such as postponement of loan payments, reduction of payments or even a complete discharge of the debt. It is important you contact an experienced Miami bankruptcy attorney who can advise you of all your options. As an experienced CPA as well as a proven bankruptcy lawyer, Timothy Kingcade knows how to help clients take full advantage of the bankruptcy laws to protect their assets and get successful results. Since 1996 Kingcade Garcia McMaken has been helping people from all walks of life build a better tomorrow.

Gboard, Google's attempt to further infiltrate your phone by way of a keyboard application, is rolling out an update this morning that will introduce a handful of new features, including GIF and emoji suggestions as you type, easier voice typing, Google Translate, and more keyboard themes.
Of course, it wouldn't be Gboard if we weren't treated to a suite of easy-to-access emoji and GIFs to spruce up what would normally be a plain-text message. To access, go to Gboard settings and select theme or press on the Theme icon in the quick features menu in the suggestion strip.
Need to text in more than one language? The new integrations will allow you to translate texts into other languages right from your keyboard. Finally, Gboard gets a deeper search integration, which will offer search suggestions based on what you type.
This presents all sorts of opportunities for near-instant cross-lingual communication - or just trolling your friend by seamlessly switching to a language neither of you understand. You can also share GIFs in supported apps, including Allo, Facebook Messenger, Hangouts, and Snapchat, Google notes.
Again, you notice the logic here?
The whole idea of Gboard is offering you access to tons of intelligence and Google services anywhere a keyboard is displayed, and today's updates show the real power of this platform. Google is positioning Gboard as a one stop solution for translating stuff as well. The Translate box from the quick start menu also supports pasted text, so you copy any text sent back to you to have it translated back into your native tongue. For themes, you also get new scenes to choose as backdrops along with a promise of more new themes to arrive in the future.

As Delta Air Lines emerges from thousands of flight cancellations over five days following a thunderstorm, its 2016 performance gained it a No. 2 ranking in a new airline study released Monday.
The Airline Quality Rating put Delta in second place behind Alaska Airlines in the lead position.
Atlanta-based Delta inched up one place from a year ago in the ranking by researchers at Wichita State University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Prescott, Ariz campus. The ranking weighs federal data on baggage handling, customer complaints, denied boardings and on-time arrivals.
Overall, the airline industry had a record score due to improved performance on involuntary denied boardings and baggage handling, according to researchers.
But, passengers are "still complaining about the same things" -- delays, cancellations and other flight problems, said Wichita State University associate professor of marketing Dean Headley. "That disturbs me."
No. 3 in ranking is Virgin America, which fell from the No. 1 spot a year earlier and is merging with Alaska Airlines.
JetBlue, which recently launched service to Atlanta, came in fourth. Hawaiian Airlines came in fifth.
Dallas-based Southwest Airlines, the second-largest carrier at Hartsfield-Jackson, came in sixth.
At the bottom of the ranking in the No. 11 and No. 12 spots are ultra low-cost carriers Spirit and Frontier.

In that part of the country within USDA Zones 6 to 8, you can begin planting apple trees either in the early spring (before they leaf out) or in the late fall (after they've gone dormant). North of Zone 6, however, apple planting is pretty much limited to springtime . . . since the bitter winter weather in such areas would kill newly planted trees. (Most apples do poorly in the very warm Zones 9 and 10: There just isn't enough winter chilling to satisfy the plants' dormancy needs.)
There are only a few rules to be followed in planting, but they are important and should be observed closely. First, it's essential that the roots never dry out: Keep the tree out of the sun and wind, and make sure the roots are damp until they're safely underground. Next, dig a big hole . . . at least twice as wide and deep as the natural spread of the roots. (Of course, the graft between the rootstock and the scionwood must be above the ground: Otherwise the scion will send down its own roots, and the dwarfing action of the rootstock will be defeat ed.) Pack topsoil firmly around the roots, and trickle a bucket of water around the trunk after the hole is filled in. If you're planting a tree on Malling IX rootstock, it's going to need support, so drive a stake in now . . . and be sure to place a hardware cloth collar around the base of all trees to fend off hungry mice and rabbits.
Freshly planted apple trees should be pruned in order to compensate for the loss of feeder roots during transplanting. If you're growing one-year-old whips, simply cut the above-ground portion of the stem back about a third. Branched trees ought to be pruned to four or five strong branches . . . and then even these stems should be cut back to 3/4 their original length.
In future years, it's best to follow the recommendations of a good pruning manual: One that we've used is Pruning Simplified by Lewis Hill (Rodale Press, 1979).

|Take Cold Showers

|[Word size:Big Middle Small]
The best things in life are free. This doesnt only apply to open source applications on the web but other aspects of life as well. You may be surprised, but one of the best things you can do for yourself and mother nature is take cold showers on a daily basis. Sound crazy? Yes, it does, and yet its one of the healthiest daily activities you can perform.
You may undergo a shock the first time you do it but with time you will get used to this discomfort. Interestingly, some find it to be pleasurable. I find it to be rewarding, once everything is over. The benefits of taking cold showers are as follows:
Please keep in mind that cold showers are forbidden for people who are heaving heart problems, or are ill. Such therapy can be only practiced by individuals who are healthy. Also, its not recommended for women who are having their menstruation cycle. Cold water will make your heart beat at high rates and breathe deeply in order to pump out the rushing fresh blood supply.
From an environmental perspective, cold showers will lower your global footprint as well as save you some money. Heat/electricity will not be required anymore, expect energy to fill up the boiler. Your presence in the shower cabin will be also reduced, lowering your demand for fresh water, a scarce resource.

MILAN, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Italy's Assicurazioni Generali will not present an offer to become the new insurance partner of the country's third-largest bank, Banco BPM , two sources said.
Earlier this month, a source said Generali was expected to be among four bidders together with smaller rival Cattolica , Germany's Allianz and France's Covea.
Cattolica said on Wednesday it had filed a binding bid for the "bancassurance" partnership, offering to buy a majority of Popolare Vita and Avipop Assicurazioni. (Reporting by Steve Jewkes and Gianluca Semeraro, writing by Valentina Za,)

The art of stretching
Stretching is not about pulling your muscles. It is about relaxing them.
When holding a stretch, bring the body to a comfortable position and breathe, lengthening the breaths. The inhalation naturally lengthens the spine. When inhaling, send the breathe in the ribs and enjoy the feeling of space in the body. The exhalation naturally relaxes the body. When exhaling, enjoy 'letting go'. Breathe out fully without forcing. The more you relax, the better your muscles release, the more flexible you become. You do not have to pull on the muscles.
Note: 'Relaxed' doesn't mean 'collapsed'. It means 'with no unnecessary tensions'.
Practice breathing quietly holding the stretches for one minute minimum.
Enjoy stretching. It is relaxing!

Checking the Cleaning Equipments of the Providers Ahead
As a business owner, it is essential that you see everything in your office tidy and well organized. The things that you don't like to see are dirty floors and overflowing trash bins. Moreover, you don't want to experience using office restrooms that are stinking at the same time maintained poorly.
If you want to avoid these unhygienic experiences, make sure to infuse commercial cleaning services. By doing so, these services will create impact in your business here in Houston, TX.
Equipment and its impact to the environment
Cleanliness is not just about the tidiness of the office working space. A good commercial cleaner know how to use tools in order not to harm environment as well. The main goal of the equipment is to reduce the time spent on cleaning. However, time efficient as it should be, the tool used should also gives consideration to the environmental setting. As much as possible, the equipment should be risk free when it comes to environmental damage.
Cost-saving and all in one equipment
Traditional cleaners are using a lot of independent cleaning solutions and tools to cover the entire task. In a way, this makes the tasks really demanding. Look for janitorial personnel that can be able to provide tools that will minimize the cost and at the same time provide effective and short cut methods. If your cleaners have comprehensive tools, there is no need for them to bring cleaners specifically for windows, floors, walls, thrash and etc.
The big question here is how you will know if the cleaning company has the right equipment to handle the needs of your office. Most customers are only checking their providers online. What you see on the cleaners' website is not the same case when you visit them in their office. Most of the photos they are utilizing are edited or stocked. If they say they have powerful carpet cleaners, make sure that you indeed see it in person. A good commercial carpet cleaner is not something that carried inside the office. High end carpet cleaners are attached to the vehicle parked outside to have maximum vacuuming power.
When you are talking about excellent commercial cleaning services, it means that the standard of work is high quality. In order to ensure that the company you hired has an excellent type of output, make sure to also check the equipment that the cleaners are using. Well established and well known cleaning firms have already invested in high end equipment. If you are currently looking for good companies here in Houston, TX, choose these kinds of providers. You've had access to information about this before yet you yearn to learn more. Quite simply, the topic has excessive amount of related data available. But it's not simple to find the best content.

The morning was spent at the Imperial War Museum in London where the students had the opportunity to learn about peoples' experiences from World War 1 through to conflicts today. The afternoon was spent exploring more of London including the Tower Bridge, The Great Fire Monument and St Paul's Cathedral, culminating in a ride on the London Eye.
Photos of the students' tour of London have been added to the gallery.
Today was our final day in London, and what a day it was. We started the day off with a group commemoration at Paddington Old Cemetery. Here we remembered all service people who died of wounds, accident or illness in England. Only one Australian has a headstone here, so we based our service around that soldier, William J Bartlett.
After this we headed to the Imperial War Museum (IWM) where we spent two hours exploring their extensive war exhibitions. Many of us were particularly interested in the Holocaust and WW I exhibitions which we found quite confronting and moving.
After lunch at the IWM, we headed to the beautiful St Paul's Cathedral where we learnt about its amazing history and enjoyed its exquisite architecture. We then walked across the Millennium bridge over Thames River (where Harry Potter was filmed), past the full scale redevelopment of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre to the former British warship, the HMS Belfast. We spent over an hour exploring the ship, which has been developed into a museum showcasing 'life on board'. Some highlights included visiting the different viewing decks of the ship, the boiler room and the crew sleeping/living quarters.
We then headed towards the Tower Bridge where we were lucky enough to be able to score tickets to climb the bridge. As we were making our way towards the entrance, we were all stopped as the arrival of a tall ship meant that the bridge was splitting in half. We were told that the bridge rises only very rarely, and so we were very lucky to see this amazing piece of iconic machinery in action and as we left it actually lifted for a second time. Climbing the bridge itself was also a great deal of fun. The view from the top is nothing short of incredible. We were also very impressed (and some of us a little disconcerted) by the glass floor that lines the walkways between the two towers, giving us a view of the busy road bridge and wild river directly below our feet.
On our way off the bridge we made a detour by the Tower of London before heading to our waiting coach. Our stay in London was quite fittingly concluded with an authentic British experience - a meal in a traditional London pub. Overall, the day was a perfect way to end our stay in this beautiful city.

CHB Ref: 1908/5TPK/£100/HSBC

1908 - 5% Tientsin-Pukow Railway 1908
Capital: £5,000,000
Denomination: £100
Series: London
No Issued: 11,100
Serial From: 19,501 - 30,600
Arrangers: Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation
Dimensions of the Bond: 510 x 330 mm
This loan was arranged by the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation on behalf of the Chinese
Central Railways who handled 37% of the loan and by the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank which handled the remaining 63%. A total of £5,000,000 was offered as follows:
- £1,110,000 at 98 ½% by Hongkong & Shanghai Corporation in London March 1908
- £1,890,000 at 98½% by Deutsch-Asiatische Bank in Berlin March 1908

The purpose of the loan was for the construction of a railway connecting the existing railway system in North China to the Shanghai-Nanking railway system. The loan was secured by a first charge on Iikin revenues and on native customs revenues of the provinces of Chihli, Shantung and Kiangsu. The net revenues of the railway line were to be applied to service the loan and any surplus was to have been deposited with the Banks, which countersigned the loans in Tientsin or Shanghai.

Recap of the weekend time! Okay, so, on Thursday night I had to attend Phi Alpha Delta initiation with Zach, which ended up at the 13th floor bar at the Belvedere. I had a couple of gin and tonics with the dinner afterward, and then it was JERSDAY! Yes, I, an educated lady who has skin the color of plain yogurt and who has exactly zero animal print articles of clothing, LOVE Jersey Shore. I can't explain it. It's a guilty pleasure that I have seriously come to enjoy over the past year or so. So, Zach, Ellyn and I walked to the liquor store on the way home from the 13th floor and what do our eyes spy in the refrigerated section but...
Yes, the dreaded and ...banned?! Four Loko. Not sure what the specifications of the ban are or whether or not this unnamed liquor store was breaking the law, but we suddenly had the compulsion to purchase four cans (one for each of us including Lindsay, who had class until 9:30 and would meet us at our apartment). Oh, this was truly a terrible idea. But it seemed fabulous at the time. So, Jersey Shore commenced and my boo DJ Pauly D was extraordinarily funny the entire episode. I drank about half of my "Lemonade" Four Loko and apparently this was impressive. I think it just tasted so bad that I wanted to get it over with quickly. I would soon regret this decision.
Four Loko doesn't give you a normal drunk feeling. It makes you feel crazy. At one point I was interpretive dancing with Lindsay to the Age of Aquarius song by the 5th Dimension. Then, we played the Michael Jackson experience Wii game and I'm not sure, but I think I gave it 110%. I was convinced that it would help me burn off the calories from the Chinese food we ordered earlier in the evening.
So, I think it goes without saying that I remember exactly nothing from that night after we watched 30 Rock and that my head felt like it was in a vise the following morning. Never shall you tempt me with your bright colors and good-sounding flavors again, Four Loko! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...shame on me.
The rest of the weekend has been pretty inconsequential. Zach got his Macbook keyboard replaced for free by the kind folks at the Apple Store (the details of the breaking of the keyboard are fuzzy. I maintain my innocence in the matter). I made a nice pasta dish for dinner. I absolutely scrubbed the bathroom and kitchen and did all the laundry, and now there is nothing keeping me from doing homework. Except for blogging, and listening to random music on Pandora radio, and possibly drinking more beer. But we'll see.

Jan Hojer finished 2012 off in good style by repeating Dave Graham's The Island, ~8B+, in Fontainebleau.
I managed to get a few comments from the young Teutonic beast, who is on a one week trip to Fontainebleau:
I see you're back in Font and have made quick work of The Island. What did you think of it?
The Island is amazing! Three weeks ago I had a little night session where I checked out the moves in pretty humid conditions. Yesterday I went back and did it within 1-2 hours. Btw: Dave Graham's starting position is super obvious in my opinion!
Did you use your feet at all?
I probably used my feet a bit by throwing a few hooks and stuff ;)
Any plans to try The Big island, or perhaps even the sit down start project?
I tried the Big Island start just for 5 min and the 3 additional moves don't seem to be super hard - I'm psyched to get back on that one as soon as it's dry again...
The sit start is probably possible (although I didn't try any of the moves) but linking it into the Big Island looks more like the kind of project for somebody who flashes Gecko assis[i.e. Adam Ondra]

Thanks for your feedback!
Fantastic!Copy received via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I am all for giving new authors a change and when the email from NetGalley said fans of Hockey books I was hooked. There is not alot of hockey in this book, which is fine by me - it is the story of Aud, a 20 year old girl brought up by her grandparents who get a month long job to be a translator for an up and coming Russian Hockey Star. It is a definite YA book - but I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading more from Sophia, although I hope it is not Pavel next - I did not like his character at all...by Maudmama on September 01, 2015

AwesomeAn exciting NA that had me from the beginning! Loved the writing style, the characters, and the unique setting for this story. Not the typical college campus! After losing her soccer scholarship, Auden Berezin needs cash! To earn enough for her tuition, she takes a job as a translator for a Russian hockey player. Problem is, he speaks English just fine so why does he need her?? Aleksandr Varenkov can't stand dealing with the media. To avoid this he pretends not to speak English hence the need for a translator. Seems like a great plan until attraction and desire come into play. This is one I highly recommend!by Bette on September 01, 2015

3.5 stars ok book but reads more like a YA bookDelayed Penalty is a decent start to Sophia Henry's new Pilots Hockey series. I wouldn't say it was one of my favorite "sports" based books but it is a good read. Auden Berezin life has been a series of losses. Shewas raised by her Russian grandparents after losing her mother and now her life takes another horrible turn when she loses her soccer scholarship for college. These loses help contribute to her lack of self esteem and worth. When her grandfather is able to get her a translating for a Russian hockey player Auden is sure things have turned around until she meets Alexandr, the same guy who tried to pick her up in a bar! After losing everything she has cared about Auden is not about to open her self up to more heartache and that is all she would find with a man like Alexandr. Alexandr Varenkov is passionate about three things: hockey, vodka and women. Known as a ladies man, Alexandr is pleased to find that Auden has been assigend to translate for him when he speaks to the press. Alexandr does not like speaking to the press so he fakes not understanding English to avoid speaking with the press which puts Auden on the spot. After spending time together the both come to realize they actually enjoy spending time together but Auden is afraid maybe she is enjoying their time together too much. After all, everyone in her life eventually leaves her and she knows that Alexandr will only be in Detroit until he can be spotted and recruited into the NHL. Aleksandr soon realizes his days of playing the field has come to and end. He found what he is looking for in Auden if only he can convince her that they belong together and that he isn't leaving her. Stress, secrets and betrayal makes this for a roller coaster ride to romance. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes YA romance. While this book is considered to be a NA romance it just seems to be more on the lines of a YA. I liked the basis of the story but felt that is could have been better. I received an eARC copy of the book compliments of the publisher and Tasty Book Tours for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.by Majorly Delicious on September 09, 2015

Great story but too many unanswered questions.Hockey season is over and while legions of fans wait for it to come back, many readers like me prefer to get our fixes in the pages of a sports romances. Delayed Penalty is the first book in the Pilots Hockey series and it features a sexy Russian and his translator. It's a great way to pass some time. Auden is home for the summer. She's reeling from being cut from the soccer team and losing her sorts scholarship. Finding out her grandfather has a job lined up for her is a blessing, until she realizes who she's working with. Her initial meeting with Aleksandr didn't really go well. Of course their follow up interactions sort of continue in the same vein and it doesn't help she's attracted to him either. I liked Auden for the most part. She's not afraid to work hard. She takes her responsibilities seriously. She's trying to find a way to make it in the world, but she's still unsure of herself. I could really relate to that. Aleksandr didn't make the greatest first impression. He eventually grew on me and I came to like him as well. It was very evident the two of them had chemistry. I was a little surprised when they just started making out. It just seemed sudden when before they'd been dancing around each other. The story is really interesting. I thought it was going to be mainly about Auden and Aleksandr, but then things started happening in the story that sort of shifted my focus away from them. I felt like there was too much going on and as a result the different parts of the story weren't given the development they needed. I had too many questions once I finished reading. I also got frustrated with Auden. She was quick to voice her opinion but slow to act, in particular when it came to things she didn't like. I felt like she brushed too many things under the rug. I'm a champion at avoiding things, but it felt like she could out do even me. There was a lot of potential to the story. I'm hoping the next book in the series will clear up my remaining questions.by CSingh on September 01, 2015

Episode 216: Escape to Witch Mountain
We're on the move this week, friends, and we're headed to a mysterious place full of wild and inexplicable happenings. (No, Burning Man was earlier this summer.) That's right, we're headed to Witch Mountain. Specifically, Josh and Gabe are watching and discussing the 1975 film Escape to Witch Mountain on this week's episode of Mousterpiece Cinema. And they're joined by friend of the show Eric Goldman of IGN to talk about this very odd, languorously paced chase film from the director of a grindhouse classic. (Yes, it's a Disney movie.) Is this too cheesy to work? Does the film hold up after 40 years? We're telepathically communicating the answers to you, but if that doesn't work, just listen to the episode!

The theory assumes that the critical drivers of social activity - in all contexts and at all levels of development -- can be traced to the interaction among three master variables– population, resources, and technology. Measurement of the master variables is usually a first step in quantitative analysis and grounds the theory in an empirical context. Population refers to the size, distribution, and composition of people, and to changes thereof. Each of these variables can be differentiated along a number of sub-factors or variables – depending on the issues at hand or the interest of the analyst. The same can be said about resources and technology. Technology refers to all applications of knowledge and skills in mechanical (equipment, machinery, etc.) as well as organizational (institutional) terms. This concept of technology encompasses both soft and hard dimensions, and often the former is as important as the latter. Resources are conventionally defined as that, which has value to include all elements critical to human existence (such as water, air, etc.), provides a perspective on the concept of resources intimately connected to requisites for basic survival. The specific metric or metrics used in any investigation is usually driven by the research design and its purpose.
In lateral pressure theory, the master variables constitute the basis for identifying the state profile and to calculate a state's profile type. At each point in time, a state is characterized by one set of "master variables" that define the empirical parameters of the polity and provide the basis for policy agenda as well (Choucri and North: 1987, 205-208)1. Normalization of the selected indicator ensures that the master variables are (1) of same order of magnitude, and (2) independent of their units of measure. This step ensures that lateral pressure profiles of different states are comparable and meaningful. The normalization technique used is the fractional share of a state s in the global aggregate value ("world" total) of the indicator in year t.
Thus we define the master variables as follows:

If you have tonnes of used styrofoam each week and are compacting it before sending it to landfill — you could be recycling it instead. There are several recyclers who take compacted styrofoam; some like WES in Redcar and the Wales Environment Trust in Newport reprocess styrofoam into a clean pellet that can be used in applications like coat hangers, picture frames and replacement hardwood. Others, most notably Enviro in Grimsby who will take used fish boxes, export the compacted styrofoam to the Far East where it is recycled and used in new products like disposable cameras and video cases.
If you have tonnes of un-compacted, used styrofoam each week, some recyclers will install a compacter on your site and then take the compacted material for recycling. In all cases, the recycler will collect the compacted material if you have a large enough amount to make the journey economically viable and in some cases they will pay for the compacted styrofoam.
Harden can offer complete solution to styrofoam recycling.
1. Trays of styrofoam are
compacted for shipment.
2. The compaction of styrofoam allows for a reduction by 30-50 times the number of shipments needed to move the material.
3. The compacted blocks of styrofoam are shredded into flakes in preparation for introduction into the pelletizing extruder.
4. The shredded flakes of styrofoam are converted back into the polystyrene pellet.
5. The styrofoam pellets are mixed with additives and color in the compounding pelletizer line and re-pelletized prior to introduction into the profile lines for profile production.

Here's a pairing of words that might seem a little bit odd as it rolls off the tongue: Mitsubishi truck. Really, Mitsubishi is actually well-known the world over for making trucks despite the fact that we haven't seen a Mitsu truck in America since the Mighty Max. Now, the automaker has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Fiat to co-develop and manufacture a midsize pickup truck for global markets.
"This is beneficial for both companies because Mitsubishi Motors will boost production and Fiat will strengthen its product lineup," said Mitsubishi spokesman Tetsuji Inoue.
Mitsubishi's L200 is a best-seller for commercial purposes the world over, and Fiat has long desired an increased stake in fleet sales. Enter the MoU, which not only serves Fiat's goal of increasing commercial sales, but also increases production at Mitsubishi's Thailand plant.
According to the agreement, Mitsubishi will provide Fiat with about 150,000 trucks through 2020. Whether the truck, be it Mitsubishi- or Fiat-branded, sees its way to America remains to be seen, but you can bet that if it does, we'll have it here for you at Bell Mitsubishi!
