Over the last 3 years there has been a huge rise in attacks across Europe involving hired or stolen vehicles that are being used to injure and kill as many people as possible. The attacks generally involve drivers running over pedestrians in an attempt to cause as much devastation as possible.
These tragedies often mean a high number of injuries and death. In the last two years, 4 major cities have been attacked multiple times leading to some of the worst disasters in recent history. In July 2016 on Bastille Day the attack in Nice led to 86 deaths with 303 injuries, recently the Barcelona attack led to 13 deaths and 50 injuries. Sweden suffered an attack involving a rigid truck which killed 4 people and injured 15. Even London suffered from multiple attacks this year, causing 48 injuries and 8 deaths.
These attacks are not always connected to terrorism with some of the drivers labelled as lone assailants, however many are linked to larger terrorist groups.
This growth in vehicle theft has led to many vehicle operators and transport managers questioning whether their vehicles are secure when used in public. How high is the risk of someone attempting to access a parked or unsecured vehicle and steal it to cause the next national disaster?
Luckily, there are solutions that will prevent unauthorised vehicle access stopping anyone from stealing a municipal truck, rigid lorry or hire vehicle. Vehicle safety experts Vision Techniques launched their VT Ident security system to the industry in 2015 and has been tailoring the RFID technology ever since.
"We've built the technology ourselves so we can adjust it to meet the needs of any of our customers." Managing Di- rector and owner Michael Hanson explained. "But recently we're seeing a lot of companies and councils wanting to specifically prevent vehicle theft – which Ident will absolutely do."
VT Ident is a radio frequency control system that uses customisable short-range tags to allow or prevent access to certain 'locked' areas of the vehicle, such as the ignition, handbrake or even rear machinery.
The Ident tags don't have any batteries, are easily replace- able and most importantly can have different levels of access.
"It's possible for everyone to wear different tags with only the driver having the ability to start the engine, meaning you can take away any risk of theft and unauthorised use."
The security system is unique in the industry for using passive RFID. Active RFID is very common – where the tag reader searches for tags within a wireless zone and allows access when users approach. Passive RFID means the crew can't leave their tags within range of the reader – for example down the side of their seats or on the dashboard. Tag users must present their tags to regain control.
The technology is being used on vehicles across the country by integrated waste management special- ists Biffa, construction, services and property group Kier , Middlesbrough council and Perth and Kinross council to name a few.
The ident system also provides tag monitoring, meaning a fleet manager is able to check who is or isn't showing their tags. Audible notifications can warn if someone without a tag tries to access the ignition or handbrake and any successful or unsuccessful tag uses can be exported for reporting or combined with a video DVR for video evidence.
Mr Hanson added "Ident was developed as a way of controlling which members of the crew have access to a vehicle, but the last few years have shown that preventing these vehicles from being used as high- speed weapons is an even bigger priority."

Safety is our business here at Vision Techniques, and security is a vital part of that. It's so important to us that we've developed our own unique product, Vehicle IDent. (It's amongst our Vision Techniques' signature products, along with our range of reversing cameras.) We understand that security is an equally key concern for HGV owners and operators, and that's exactly the issue that IDent Drivestop aims to tackle. This week on the blog, we'll be exploring a bit about how it works, and how it can benefit you.

There's no shortage of reasons why fleet safety is – and always will be – vitally important. At Vision Techniques, we stock a lot of products with this very purpose in mind. Improving fleet safety carries tangible benefits for yourself, your drivers, your customers and even the road users around them. In this week's blog (the first entry of a two-part series), we're going to take a moment here at Vision Techniques to explain some of the most critical ones.

Public transport is one of the key sectors we've always served here at Vision Techniques. While our products have a vast array of advantages that can be applied to a range of sectors, the unique characteristics of the public transport industry mean that fleet operators in this sector can see tangible and very specific benefits from our devices.
Public transport is usually a broad ranging term that can refer to anything from buses, trains, taxis and even boats. However, as far as our industry is concerned, buses and coaches are two of the main types of vehicles to benefit from the use of our products. Next to HGVs, buses and coaches are amongst some of the heaviest and bulkiest vehicles on our roads, which means they take a great amount of skill and concentration to drive safely.
Because of the nature of their work, bus drivers especially have to content with navigating within tight city confines on a daily basis, while the layout of most coaches often means that drivers are particularly high off the ground, resulting in large blind spots. This can pose a danger to more vulnerable road users such as cyclists, and frequently even pedestrians when the driver is pulling in or moving off from a stop.
Then there is the matter of passengers, who can be distracting in a whole host of ways (deliberately or not). Loud conversations, travel sickness, belligerence or drunkenness are just a few of the ways they can sometimes intrude into the driver's awareness, which can sometimes result in accidents.
All these factors pose a risk in very specific ways, meaning that should be a top priority for any operator to ensure the safety of drivers, passengers and surrounding road users.
Some of the main safety hazards drivers must contend with in public transport include:
Reversing accidents and collisions owing to rear blind spots
Suggested Vision Techniques solutions include: reversing cameras, mirror monitors, VT Banksman reversing radar and auto braking (as well as similar radar systems).
Because of their public-facing nature, drivers of buses and coaches frequently have to deal with physical threats or damage from angry or agitated members of the public.
The main public transport safety hazards include:
Suggested Vision Techniques solutions include: RFID devices, mobile CCTV devices to capture the image of offenders and crack down on anti-social behaviour.
This is mainly intended to provide a broad overview of what we can offer here the public transport sector here at Vision Techniques. If you're looking for something specific for your fleet of vehicles, we're only too happy to help! You can browse our full range of products here, or give our sales number a call on 08452 873 172.

At Katatomic we operate a number of Microsoft Windows web servers primarily to host customer websites but also provide email services. These have been procured specifically to provide a complementary service for our existing web customers.
We use a mix of dedicated servers and cloud servers
If you are unfamiliar with the term 'hosting' this simply means the provision of space on a web server to make your website available to other internet users. When your web address is typed into a browser it is the web server which hosts your website files which passes back the pages.
We use a mix of dedicated servers and cloud servers each having distinct advantages dependent on the size and nature of the website.
Entry level commercial hosting companies often have a vested interest in maximising the number of client sites they squeeze onto their servers – this will obviously have a bearing on performance. We want our clients' web presences to snap open as quickly as possible and our investment in our own servers not only ensures this, but also means we have total administrative control rather than problematically attempting to work through a third party.
Server features include:- four separate connectivity providers to maximise availability and redundancy, location in a secure data-centre with 24 hour on-site presence, air-conditioning, fire and lightening protection, back-up generators, and 24 hour network monitoring. All servers are fully patched and are regularly assessed for security vulnerabilities.
As for email we can provide POP3. IMAP and SMTP services and can integrate with in-house MS Exchange servers where required.
It's often useful to use a single source for all your web needs
Whilst this service is provided exclusively to our web design customers it certainly isn't mandatory to use us if we build your website. Some customers will have an existing hosting provider with whom they wish to stay. In other instances a dedicated server may be procured from a third party which we can manage if required.
Additionally, we can help advise on third party solutions which may be more appropriate and configure these for you as required.
It's often useful to use a single source for all your web needs and know you only need to deal with one company. The majority of our customers do just that, but we'll always advise on the best solution for you regardless of whether it involves us or not.

Silver lining? Loss of Adams could help break up outfield logjam
The loss of Matt Adams, who was suddenly showing signs of life at the plate, is a blow for the St. Louis Cardinals.
But the bright side is that the ability to put Adams on the disabled list will create room for the return of Jon Jay to the lineup while helping to find playing time for red hot slugger Randal Grichuk.
Adams' absence will create playing time for Mark Reynolds at first place, taking him out of the outfield rotation where he's performed surprisingly well.
Adams, with three hits in his last eight at-bats including two doubles and two RBIs, appeared to strain a quad as he ran the bases Tuesday against Arizona. It hasn't been determined yet how long he will be out. But a trip to the disabled list is likely.
Reynolds, the primary back-up at first base, has been getting much of his playing time in the outfield corners this season. He's batting .250 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 96 at-bats.
But outfield playing time became scarce when Grichuk returned May 16 from a back injury. Grichuk is batting .333 with three doubles, two triples and a home run over the past week.
Now Jay will return to the lineup Friday after completing a rehab assignment.
No one is going to cut into Matt Holliday's playing time as the slugging left fielder is hitting .322 for the season with three homers and 24 RBIs. That leaves Grichuk, Jay, Peter Bourjos and Jason Heyward to split center and right fields.
Jay was batting .248 when he aggravated a wrist injury that has troubled him since spring training. Bourjos is hitting .263 and has failed to exploit his speed, stealing four bases in eight tries. Heyward, an expensive off-season acquisition, is hitting only .233 with four homers and 13 RBIs.
It's going to be rough to get everyone going with limited playing time. But the Cardinals need to find a way if they're going to score enough runs to keep winning games.

Good and Bad Ethics
Ethics refers to the moral values that govern the appropriate conduct of an individual or group. Ethics speaks to how we ought to live, that is, and how we ought to treat others and how we ought to run or manage our own lives. It helps people differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable behavior, between just and unjust. Ethics is normative in nature, that is, it focuses on what ought to be the case rather than what is the case. People learn ethical norms at home, school, in social settings as they grow up. However each individual has a different interpretation of these norms as they are affected by the individual's life experiences. Philosophers have tried to define ethics in a number of ways. Socrates defines ethics as deciding "How one should lead his life". Aristotle refers to ethical system as being "self-realizationism". To sum up ethics can be defined as rules for distinguishing between what is morally right and wrong, what is responsible and irresponsible, and what is good or bad in general.
What are business ethics?
Business ethics relates to the application of ethical norms to business. It tries to answer questions like, whether a corporation should consider only the interest of its stakeholders when making decisions or should their decisions take into consideration the impact on the larger society as well. General business ethics generally involve application of ethical norms to issues concerning relation between companies, between companies and workers and between a company and the society at larger (corporate social responsibility). The importance of business ethics has increased over the years with the market becoming more conscience focussed.
Why do you need business ethics?
With the increase in the market competition and globalization business ethics are needed to ensure that the leaders of today's organisations understand the importance of following ethical and moral norms in business. This include governance by...

Hilton Cleveland Downtown
As a member of the design team, we worked closely with the Design Architect, linking the dramatic building exterior to the interior design aesthetic. The overall palette is contemporary and clean lined, providing a gallery backdrop for an extensive local art collection commissioned by hotel owner Cuyahoga County. The lobby features a custom designed, patterned terrazzo floor in shades of charcoal to gray and white, with silver metal accents in contrast with natural walnut veneer. The floor pattern also extends to the ceiling above, reinforcing the diagonal line of the structure in both locations. Green preserved moss panels provide an organic relief and colorful accent to the reception area and extend to the oval bar above.
The hotel contains a $1.5M art collection commissioned by the project art consultant on behalf of Cuyahoga County and produced by its resident artist population. The contemporary collection features large scale artwork installations and sculpture contrasting with the creamy gallery envelope of the interior design palette. Key local pieces range from the work of iconic industrial designer Viktor Schreckengost, to the artwork produced by the Department of Disabilities and a selfie contest mural wall.
As a key design component, we highlighted and acknowledged the importance of industry and steel fabrication to the origination and subsequent development of the city of Cleveland. The central design element is a cylindrical screen composed of 2" wide steel members, resembling the latticework of Cleveland's many bridges, and housing the reception area and front desk. The screen structure is canted to mimic centrifugal motion. Steel members are "spun" from the central screen, creating a series of smaller screens and illuminated steel elements rising to the ceiling above. The steel elements represent the origins of the steel industry in Cleveland and the evolution of these beginnings to a prosperous diversity of business and industry coinciding with the gentrification of what is now the revitalized City of Cleveland.
The hotel includes both Main and Junior Ballrooms with glass providing natural light along the west side of the each ballroom. The Main Ballroom features a fragmented and angled ceiling design with crystal clad "rays" which mimic the diagonal elements in the lobby. The Junior Ballroom ceiling design includes decorative glittering glass spheres positioned on the undulating and sound absorptive surface.
The emphasis on Cleveland continues into the guestrooms where the headboard wall becomes a mural highlighting various images of the city. Twelve different images clad the feature walls ranging from bridge detail photographs to images from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and iconic local buildings. The neutral palette of steel blue and taupe allows the emphasis of the design to be on the feature walls. The guestrooms include stunning vistas in every direction featuring views of the Burnham Mall, Lake Erie and Cleveland's many sports arenas.
The project, which is linked underground with the Convention Center and the Garage, currently under construction, also includes 600 guestrooms and varied suites, pool and fitness center, 50,000 square feet of meeting space including a main ballroom and junior ballroom, the Burnham restaurant, Eliot's Bar, and Bar 32.

- A lot of times financial stress is caused by using financial products not in a way that they were originally intended for
- Why retirement, insurance, emergency savings, and your house shouldn't be used for other things
- How using those products for what they were intended will make your financial life easier
- What to do with your tax refund
- Quote of the week
For a lot of us, money can be a difficult and confusing thing to grasp. There are a lot of reasons for this including lack of financial awareness, family history, no desire to learn how to handle money. But the more and more I hear people talk about their money struggles the more I realize that some of the confusion results from us using financial products for uses other than their original intent.
Today we are going to talk through four different financial products/assets that we are using differently than their original intent. Some of these we use differently because we are marketed to that way via the banks or some salesman. Others' non-original uses result from just not being prepared or paying attention to our finances. Below are the four that we will talk about today
|Financial Product/Asset
|Intended Use
|Un-Intended Use
|401(K)/IRA (Retirement)
|To save for use after retirement
|Pay off debt/Emergency Fund
|Protect family financially in case of negative life event (death, disability, accident)
|Way to save for retirement or children's college fund
|Emergency Savings
|Keep family from falling off financial cliff in case of a financial emergency
|Use to fund inconveniences that weren't planned for
|Place to eat, sleep, and live your life
|Emergency Fund/Retirement Funding
Now we aren't picking on anyone if you have or are doing any of these. But after going through the list it's no wonder why money can be so confusing. But when we use these products for their original use our lives are less cluttered and our finances become clearer.
Below are other blogs or lessons of the show where I talk about these products more in depth.
- Retirement
- Insurance
- Emergency Savings
- House
In addition I also comment about an article I found on bankrate.com titled "How Americans will spend their tax refund". 30% of Americans will use their refund to pay down their debt. While that is very admirable I can't help but wonder how many of them have debt because they got a refund? The reason for the refund is because you have too much withheld from your paycheck. Instead of scraping by, wouldn't it be better to get your money each month and use that to avoid debt in the first place?

Types Of Files To Upload
It is recommended to save and upload your artwork as a .PDF We also accept: JPG, GIF, PNG, PDF, AI, PSD. If you send .PDF files, remember to outline the fonts or flatten your files before uploading. Files that are uploaded properly will likely speed up your turn-around.
Maximum File Sizes
The maximum acceptable combined file size for all uploads is 20GB (gigabytes).
Color modes: CMYK vs RGB
All colored artwork for print must be prepared in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color mode. All black & white artworks must be prepared in grayscale color mode. Heavy black ink might cause smearing.
If your artwork is prepared as an RGB file, there is a chance when printed that the colors may shift resulting in a slightly different color output.
Print vs Web: Images that are designed for print must be CMYK whereas images for the web should be prepared in RGB.
Artwork Resolution
All artwork for print must be prepared in 300 dpi resolution, no less. Low resolution files will result in blurred images when printed.
Print vs Web: Images that are designed for print must be atleast 300 dpi whereas images designed for web must be a low resolution of 72 dpi.
How to Setup File With Bleed
What is Bleed? Bleed is a printing term that refers to printing that goes beyond the edge of the sheet after trimming.
Why is Bleed Necessary? Bleed ensures that no white edges occur in the final trimmed document. It is very difficult to print exactly to the edge of a sheet of paper/card, to achieve this it is necessary to print a slightly larger area than is needed and then trim the paper/card down to the required finished size. Images, background images and fills which are intended to extend to the edge of the page must be extended beyond the trim line to give a bleed.
How Much Bleed is Needed? The amount of bleed that is required depends on certain print products. For standard print products, files are required to have 0.125" bleed around the artwork. For example, if your preparing your artwork for standard business cards 3.5x2", you must add bleed by extending your artwork by 0.125" making the final size of 3.625x2.125". Therefore, when the final product is trimmed to appropriate size, no white edges will be visable.
For poster prints, no bleed is required. Make the artwork exactly the size you are ordering.
Transparency Issues
To prevent transparency issues, always convert your spot color to CMYK and flatten files before sending.
Overprint Issues
If an object is set to overprint, it can cause unexpected results. We suggest you make sure all overprint objects are turned off before submitting your files.
Uploading Artwork
When uploading artwork, please upload each side of the artwork in separate files and label each side accordingly.
About The Online Designer
If you need to edit an image and do not have any high end graphic design software installed, Pixlr Editor is an excellent choice and it runs directly in your browser!
What is Pixlr? Pixlr is a third-party online image designing/editing application similar to Photoshop that operates directly through your web browser. It is built using Flash and you got to have the Flash plug-in to get it to work.
Pros and Cons: Pixlr is a free online application for professionals and non-professionals. It is a Flash based application which enables quick loading time. Pixlr is ideal for people who cannot afford expensive graphic design software. It is a powerful and feauture rich application which also support layers and masks, floating menus for tools and options, real-time preview, powerful selecting tools and what's more, an impressive selection of filters and effects. Pixlr also supports PSD files so you can open them with the layer intacted.
There are disadvantages to using Pixlr though. Pixlr is raster based software so this is not a good tool to use for logos or illustrations that need to be enlarged. The color output used in Pixlr is RGB. This is ideal to be used in images for the web but for printing, CMYK is used. Although color conversion from RGB to CMYK can be done, this may result is a color shift. For print we recommend using a professional graphic design software which has CMYK capability.
The DPI output used in Pixlr is 72 dpi. This is ideal for images on the web but for printing, a minimum of 300 dpi is recommended.
We can assist is adjusting your files to the appropriate dpi and convert your colors to CMYK, but we do not assure color/image consistency. Please revise proof carefully if you decide to use this application.

With knowledge of Greek and Hebrew—the original languages of the Old and New Testaments—you will undoubtedly begin to read and understand God's Word in a new light. Proficiency in these languages will also enable you to read, and perhaps eventually translate, other ancient and medieval original texts. In the biblical languages concentration, you will develop a strong foundation in Greek and Hebrew and dive into the world of exegesis.
In addition to offering coursework in Hebrew and classical and Koine Greek, Gordon is among only a handful of undergraduate colleges that offer coursework in Syriac—another important language for reading ancient texts and understanding the worldview of early Christians. Gordon's partnership with nearby Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary will expand your options for upper-level biblical language study.
Biblical languages students often pursue seminary or graduate studies, or go on to do Bible translation work around the world. As a biblical studies major, you will be biblically and theologically grounded to follow the vocation that God has given you. Our graduates serve in a variety of vocations, including:

Generally our body is to be maintained, washed and kept clean, but do you know that there are certain body parts ( organs ) that don't require these everyday maintenance, they each have their own cleaning mechanism, which is more efficient and safe.
They include:
1. Eyes
Our eyes clean and lubricate themselves everytime we blink using the tears what we produce.
There are 3 types of tears. Basal tears contain water, mucin, lipids, lysozyme, lactoferrin, lipocalin, lacritin, immunoglobulins, glucose, urea, sodium, and potassium (proteins, salts and fats to help clean, lubricate and fight infection in the eye). These are the tears when you blink.
The second are reflex tears which happen when you get something in your eye. Sort of extra protection.
The third are psychic tears which happen during heightened emotion so happy, sad angry etc. These have a different chemical make up and contain hormoes and even some natural pain killers. Not really sure why.
2. Vagina
Glands in the vagina produce fluid that flows out daily to help get rid of dead cells and other potentially harmful materials (this is discharge).
The folds of the vagina also protect against infection by sticking together to keep as much bad stuff on the outside as possible. The skin of the vaginal folds also have glands that produce fluid, called sebum, for added protection against infection and even waterproofing.
Sebum can build up and that is perfectly healthy — not an indication of poor hygiene. Vaginas are self-sustaining and should not be washed with soap or douched because it can wash away these protective fluids.

Wisconsin State Park System Camping rules
Below is a list of camping rules for Wisconsin State Park System properties.
Camping reservations are encouraged and can be made up to 11 months in advance before the date of occupancy.
Camping seasons typically run spring through fall. For winter camping opportunities, contact the property where you are interested in camping.
Note: With the new reservation system, you will receive two emails; one verifying payment of your reservation and one confirming your site was booked. More information.
Same day reservations pilot program
Vehicle admission sticker
A vehicle admission sticker is required for any motor vehicles brought into the property. A camper without an annual sticker will need to buy one daily sticker for each night of camping. Free daily stickers are available for vehicles towed or carried into the property by a vehicle with a purchased sticker. Ask at the entrance station when you arrive.
Cancellations may be made online or by calling 888-947-2757.
If you cancel no later than 3 p.m. Central Time two days before the day of the reservation, you'll be credited a full refund of camping fees, but not the reservation or cancellation fees.
If you cancel after that, you'll be credited a refund of camping fees for all but the first night. You will not be refunded the reservation or cancellation fees or the first night's camping fee.
No refunds are made for any part of a three-night holiday reservation once the site has been occupied.
Registration, self-registration
All campers must register when they arrive at the park. If you have a reservation, be prepared to present your confirmation letter at the park office upon check-in. If you arrive and the park office is not open and you do not have a reservation, use a self-registration station. The self-registration station or directions to it will be near the office.
To self-register for a campsite:
- Get a camping self-registration envelope at the self-registration pay station.
- Fill in the form and post the white copy at any untagged non-reservable site. Do not set up on any campsite before paying.
- Immediately return to the self-registration pay station. Put your payment in the envelope and deposit it in the slot.
Occupying the campsite
A camping unit must occupy the reserved campsite by 3 p.m. on the second day of the reservation and be present for the duration of the reservation. If you do not check in and occupy your reserved site before 3 p.m. the day after the scheduled arrival date and remain for the duration of the reservation, you will forfeit the site.
Campers on first-come, first-served sites must occupy the site the first night and any consecutive nights for which they have registered.
Camping party
A family campsite may be occupied by a parent or parents with their dependent children and not more than two guests or a group of not more than six persons, regardless of age. Designated group sites allow more occupants.
Length of stay
Wisconsin State Park campsites are enjoyed by millions of people each year. To assure the greatest access to campsites, a maximum length of stay has been established. No one may camp or leave a camping unit in a family campground for more than 14 days in any 21-day period.
Extending a stay
Customers may not extend the departure date of a reservation until they have checked in at the park. Extensions will be made at the park, if the site is available. Campsite extensions must be made through the office no later than the day before your scheduled departure.
Leaving early
If a camper decides to leave early they may be entitled to a refund. No refund will be given for the current night after the 3 p.m. checkout time.
The parks are closed to non-campers between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. All visitors must leave the park by 11 p.m. During closed hours, campers must be in or be enroute to their registered campsite. No camping party may set up or take down a camping unit between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Fires and firewood
Don't move firewood!
Due to the potential of carrying harmful tree pests and diseases, Wisconsin has restrictions for moving firewood.
Fires are allowed in fire rings and grills only. Do not leave fires unattended and put out all fires before leaving. Do not burn garbage, plastic, glass, cans or other recyclable items. You can buy locally-grown firewood in or near most state park and forest campgrounds.
Watch children very closely around fires. When setting up to use an area, become aware of the location of the fire ring. Watch the wind direction to ensure sparks are not getting on flammable materials and put the fire out if wind changes begin to cause concern. Do not remove hot materials from the fire ring or grill and make sure the fire is out and the grill or fire ring cool before leaving the area.
Please be courteous to your camping neighbors. At no time may the noise on a campsite create a disturbance or interfere in any manner with other people's enjoyment of the park.
Generator use
Generator use is typically not allowed in Wisconsin state parks. Property managers have full discretion for generator use. Any camper who needs to operate a generator because of a health condition will be required to take an electrical site if any is available and not use the generator unless an outage occurs. Because the available electric site is not in a preferred location is not valid justification for the camper refusing to accept that site assignment.
If no other electrical site is available, the camper will be assigned to an accessible campsite with electrical service. If no electrical sites at all are available, the property manager or designee will try to find and assign the camper to the site where the noise of a generator will be least disruptive to other guests. The camper may be allowed to operate the generator there only under special conditions so the resulting noise will not bother other campers. Only under unusual circumstances will evening generator use be allowed. No person may operate a generator without first obtaining a written permit from the department.
Day-use guests may use a generator within the property in areas where the property manager determines that the noise will not be offensive to other guests. A camper or day user who can not accept these conditions or procedures will be directed to another property, either public or private.
Fireworks are illegal. Anything that flies or explodes is considered a firework. "Snakes" and sparklers are allowed. Always ask a ranger before using anything that may be questionable.
Recycling and refuse
Plan your camping to produce as little trash as possible.
Campsites, buildings and picnic areas, do not have trash cans. However, there are some dumpsters in the campgrounds for your use if necessary. Bins are also available for recyclable items of glass, plastic, aluminum and tin.
If using your own grill, place coals in an available park grill or fire ring or at designated coal disposal sites.
Switching campsites
Campers may not switch sites without prior approval.
Vehicles and tents
Motor vehicles are restricted to the designated parking area on each campsite. No more than two motor vehicles (except as many as six motorcycles) are allowed per campsite.
No more than one recreation trailer, pickup truck camper or motor home may occupy a campsite. Pickup campers or motor homes pulling a trailer are treated as a single unit.
The number of tents allowed depends on the sizes of the tents and of the site. Call the park or forest office if you're considering bringing multiple tents.
Each vehicle must have a vehicle admission sticker. If you tow or carry a vehicle behind or on another one, ask at the entrance station for a courtesy sticker for the towed/carried vehicle.
Waste water
Please collect and dispose of dish and hand washing water at a sanitary dumping station or in campground toilets. It is against health and safety rules to dump this "gray water" on the ground.
Checkout time
Campsite check in / check out time is 3 p.m. You may set up earlier if the site was not occupied the night before. If you are unable to leave by 3 p.m., contact the park or forest staff immediately.
Note: If you or any member or guest of your camping party violate any state law or Department of Natural Resources rules, you may be evicted from the park, have your camping permit revoked and lose any fees you have paid.

About the brand Biotherm
Biotherm represents the harmonious connection between man and nature. Dive into the water world of these unique cosmetics.
Biotherm is inspired by the power of thermal springs, minerals and other bioactive ingredients. The unique composition of its products draws its energy from water in particular, as a natural element standing at the very start of life.
The effects of the natural spring in the Pyrenees have been known for centuries. Some believed that it was a source of eternal youth. In the 1950s, however, a special substance was observed on the surface of the spring, the extraordinary properties of which were proven by the subsequent research of Dr Jos Jullien. He combined his knowledge with the experiences of cosmetician Jeanine Marissal and together they laid the foundations for Biotherm.
Thanks to its unique biological characteristics, the water interacts best with human skin, and thus has the ability to regenerate and protect it exceptionally. Today, Biotherm presents some of the finest skin care with its fresh and charming fragrance with natural accents. Try the power of water for yourself!

Further to my previous post, I've come across more issues with HTTP compression and IIS 6.0. IIS allows the compression of dynamic files (e.g. files generated on the fly by ASP.NET handlers), but Internet Explorer doesn't appear to like it when the dynamic file is a zip itself. Unfortunately, compression is controlled at the "Service" level (right-click on Web Sites, rather than right clicking on an individual web site) in IIS manager snap-in, and using shared infrastructure can mean that your web site breaks immediately for no apparent reason. Lucky for you though, the metabase can be tweaked to enable/disable compression at the "Site" level... you just have to be able to figure out the site number.

Muddy toes and busy ants.
Outside we had our first official play with the bow and arrows.
The children are learning how to shoot. I loved archery when I was a kid. Still do. Eric told us a story that he found a bow and arrow in his woods one time, and often adventured with it. Once he shot a squirrel. And skinned it. An brought it home. Isn't that fine? (I mean... I do love squirrels... but still. I also love a good Kid Adventure.)
It was decided that we'd head out into the neighborhood.
So we loaded up the wagon (and it was loaded, believe me), and headed up to the store for some bubbles.
Then to the bagel place, for a muffin and a chocolate milk.
To the park.
For bubbles and badminton.
And climbing.
And talking philosophy.
Discussing numbers. (The Story of 1.)
And exploring.
To the library.
I bought some books. The Swiss Family Robinson. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Bambi. (I didn't even know Bambi was a book.)
We borrowed some books with cd's.
Stacked the wagon up taller, and headed to the pizza place. It had been a while.
Wasn't too far from dark, now, so time to go home.
It's a goodly sort of life.
P.S. Unschooling Tools : For Reading coming soon... hopefully I can put it up tonight or early tomorrow!

The Large Hadron Collider is a giant machine-thing underground that does some seriously advanced scientific shit that you'll never be able to comprehend. Or it would, if it worked.
Just The Facts
- It's basically like when you were a kid, how you put Hot Wheels cars on the track and watched them crash into each other
- Except this time it shoots pure particles, costs billions of dollars, is miles long, and theoretically has the capability to end the world
- Whoa, dude
Cracked on the LHC
The Large Hadron Collider, built and mantained by the multiational laboratory CERN (which somehow stands for European Organization for Nuclear Research) is a "high-energy particle accelerator" that "collides opposing particle beams" of "protons" or "lead" "nuclei" at "99%" the "speed" "of" "light".
Ok, what. We here at Cracked are not, in fact, a team of thousands of brilliant scientists, so we requested the help of renowned physicist Remington Binary to break the LHC down in simpler terms for us to understand. According to his official definition, the Large Hadron Collider "isolates individual particles, like protons or electrons, accelerates them at almost the speed of light and smashes them together so we can observe theoretical super-tiny particles that result from the annihilation."
Then we consulted our cousin's cool friend, who told us that the Large Hadron Colliders makes huge explosions out of tiny things and has the possibility to create black holes. Fuck yes. He provied this helpful diagram so we could digest these extremely advanced particle theories more easily:
However, this apocalpytic God-machine has been plagued with errors. And you know these are some seriously complicated problems when the world's most intelligent scientists can't figure out what the fuck is going on. Physicists believe that what is causing the LHC to fail time and time again is the elusive and technically non-existent (yet?) Higgs boson particle. Basically, the Standard Model of particle physics (more informally known as "Da Rulez") predicts a certain amount of supertiny particles that make up the particles that make up the particles that make up the particles of one atom. This is really fucking small. Your dick? It's smaller than that. Half of your dick? Still smaller. Anyways, with various experiments and tests with other particle rings (like Fermilab's way cooler-named Tevatron), all of these predicted supertiny particles have been discovered, except for the Higgs boson.
Scientists theorize that the Higgs boson is the particle responsible for giving matter its mass. So as you stare down at your disgustingly hairy beer belly, you can have some confidence in knowing what gave you your fattitude: The Higgs boson.
Basically, scientists think that the Higgs boson is traveling back in time from the future to prevent itself from being discovered by humans, which is why the LHC has been having so many problems. Talk about anti-social. Going to all that trouble to stay a loner? Higgs, just apply some corpse-paint to your face and become obsessed with black metal and no one will want to be near you. Really.

American Idol Preview: What the Top 8 Idols should sing
Crazy prediction time – tonight's going to be the best week of the season.
As much as everyone craps all over 80s music, the dirty little secret is even the most poppy of pop hits are more well-written than anything that's come out over the last 20 years. Yes, it sounds like synthesized garbage and there are probably far too many guitar solos, but it's downright enjoyable and it brought me my second-favorite genre of music – Yacht Rock.
In the past we've seen some incredible versions of 80s songs turn into American Idol classics: Carrie Underwood singing Heart's "Alone," David Cook doing "Hello" by Lionel Richie and, of course, Lord Lambert himself singing "Mad World" that won him the season until stupid Kris Allen did Kanye.
This group has shied away from taking chances but this time they'll have no choice. Here's a list of songs I think would both fit the Idols and make for a hell of a show.
Malaya Watson
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," U2
I'm going to guarantee Malaya struggles tonight because she's going to take on Whitney or Heart or one of the other 80s rock powerhouse voices and fall woefully short. I'm hoping someone slapped her and said "DON'T DO THAT." A few years back John Legend covered U2 brilliantly and in my research, I found this:
This would sound even more brilliantly sung by Malaya with a little more music behind her. It's a fairly popular song and would definitely continue her ascension in the ranks.
WHAT WOULD BE FUN: I really want to see her sing Roxette's "Must Have Been Love" just to see if she can get that note.
This song was released state-side in the 1990s, but it came out in Europe in the 80s, so boom, loophole.
Jessica Meuse
"Don't You Forget About Me," Simple Minds
There is no way in hell Jess does anything except one of the 80s rock women songs, which is boring because it's so damn predictable. Listen to this version by Wind and Wave:
Now tell me if Jess slows that down, adds her country twang to it, how she doesn't climb into the No. 1 spot? You can't.
WHAT WOULD BE FUN: Nina Gordon did a version of NWA's "Straight Outta Compton" that was cool and I'd just want to see it performed live to see the Idol censors sweat it out for a few minutes.
Plus, who doesn't want to hear Jess sing "Ain't no telling when I'm down for a jack move."
Geena Gina Jena Irene
"Warrior," Scandal
If Jena doesn't have the best week of the girls I'll be shocked. Her voice and style fits this genre so perfect it's hard to find a song that doesn't fit her. I want to see her do this:
And I want to see it just because I want to hear Jena rock a little bit. I'm afraid she's going to take on Heart (PLEASE NO) but I wouldn't be surprised if she went after Roxette, because that song would be a nice fit. I'm expecting big, big, big things from her tonight.
WHAT WOULD BE FUN: I want her to sing Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home" in french like that girl in the Framily commercial.
English would be OK; I really think she'd nail it either way.
Caleb Johnson
"Save Me," Queen
We all want to see Caleb sing a hair-band smash. I want to see if he can win Idol. This song can do it:
Queen performed it for years before it was released in January of 1980, so it just makes the cut (not that the producers care about details like that) but I don't know if I want to see Caleb sing this to sing it or sing it to see if he can. Trying to sing anything by Freddie Mercury can win you the show just as fast as it can get you kicked off. I think if he did this and it didn't go well, he'd survive; if he pulls it off, he's the hands-down favorite to win the show.
WHAT WOULD BE FUN: Let's be honest here – would anyone be mad if Caleb did Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again?"
It would be awesome and someone would definitely get pregnant.
CJ Harris
"In Your Eyes," Peter Gabriel
So let's throw Peter Gabriel's version of this song right in the garbage. I've written this in the past and tweeted it to CJ, his girlfriend and whoever else would listen that this version is perfect for him:
It's not because Jeffrey Gaines is black (something that made my head explode when I saw the video the first time); it's because he has the same sort of soul CJ has. If CJ sits down and plays this acoustic, sings with soul, he's back in the race.
WHAT WOULD BE FUN: Let's challenge CJ a little – I'd love to see him take on an 80s R&B hit and turn it country. I'll pick Jeffrey Osbourne's "You Could Be Mine."
I picked this just because I want to hear CJ's drawl when he sings "If you Woo Woo Woo."
Sam Woolf
"I Melt With You," Modern English
This is not going to be a good week for Sam. This genre does not fit him well because so far he's proved he's boring, safe and has the same amount of confidence as I do in my ability to run up the stairs without getting tired. He's not going to do his own version of anything, so he needs a great cover of an 80s song that's already put together for him. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Jason Mraz to the rescue.
If I had to guess, I'd say Sam is going to sing an already pre-packaged cover and not make a change and frustrate everyone when he sticks around.
WHAT WOULD BE FUN: Screw pop music. I'd love to see him take on Dynamite Hack's version of Eazy-E's "Boyz N The Hood." Just listen and picture precious Sammy singing this:
Alex Preston
"Where is My Mind," The Pixies
I've written this before and I'll write it again. This song is perfect for Alex. Too perfect. Listen to this live performance and tell me Alex wouldn't drop jaws with something like this:
My hope is somehow he read the last preview I wrote, didn't have time to practice it, stored it away for later and is breaking it out this week. Can't imagine it not going well if he does.
WHAT WOULD BE FUN: If Alex doesn't sing the Cure tonight, I'd be shocked. I'd want to see him take on "Just Like Heaven."
I'm sure that would make Yahoo Idol blogger extraordinaire Lyndsey Parker lose her damn mind, along with the rest of the Cure-loving fanatics who secretly watch Idol.
Dexter Roberts
"Time After Time," Cyndi Lauper
So in the 80s country music was country music and not the country/pop BS that is out right now. There weren't a lot of party songs Dexter can chase, so what the hell is he going to do?
Rob Thomas did an awesome version of this song and it'd make a great base for Dexter. Listen:
Take what Mr. Matchbox 20 started and make it a slowed-down country ballad. Everyone cries. Dexter gets complimented on his originality and the Bottom 3 is an afterthought.
WHAT WOULD BE FUN: So researching different covers, I found a country/bluegrass version of Prince's "Purple Rain."
Plus, the idea of Dexter walking on stage in crushed velvet to take that on would make me lift my "no vote" policy.
I'm pumped for tonight. I've got my Captain and Coke (and coke) ready to go. See y'all tonight. If you need me, follow me on Twitter HERE. I'll be live-tweeting my face off with my Bartles and Jaymes in hand.

I use this 24 ounce sipper almost EVERY day! It is the perfect size if you're a big drinker.
The sippers come with a BPA free straw with the little nub on the end so if you are like me and always have a small child on your hip, that child definitely won't be yanking out your straw and stabbing you in the eye with it. Obviously I've had that happen before… I would like to say HAND WASH the 2 part metal lid. I'm lazy, so I took the "dishwasher safe" part and left the "but I recommend hand washing the lid" part. I ended up with some rust on my lid that I had to scrub off! Such a tragedy, so take care of your pretty little lids!! There is a rubber gasket that holds the straw in place pretty snug. I tipped my sipper over in the car and nothing spilled! Yay!
The decal is REALLY on there, so you don't have to worry about it coming off. I've washed my mason jar in the dishwasher MANY times and it hasn't started to peel or crack one bit.

20 January 2014, Rome - Human infections with the influenza A(H7N9) virus are on the rise again in China and the upcoming Chinese New Year festivities provide opportunity for further spread and human exposure, FAO warned today.
Millions of people and poultry are expected to be on the move and many households will slaughter poultry at home to celebrate the New Year. FAO called upon neighboring countries to remain vigilant in the face of A(H7N9) and other avian influenza viruses, such as highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1.
The number of human infections with H7N9 has considerably increased since late December in East and Southeast China, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The increase in cases was expected, as influenza viruses traditionally show increased activity during the winter months. So far, no other country has reported influenza A(H7N9) in humans, animals or in the market place.
There is strong evidence that people become infected following close contact with infected live poultry, mostly in live bird markets or when slaughtering birds at home. According to WHO, no sustained human-to-human transmission has occurred so far. Genetic analysis by FAO reference centers has revealed that the virus has not changed significantly since its emergence last year.
"Chinese authorities are enforcing important measures to reduce the risk of human exposure to the A(H7N9) virus," said FAO Chief Veterinary Officer Juan Lubroth. "This includes temporary closures of live bird markets, regular market rest days, improved hygiene in markets, heightened and ongoing surveillance in poultry and live bird market environment, and control of poultry movements."
Risk to humans remains
"But countries need to stay alert, as the virus continues to circulate in poultry without showing any visible clinical signs. The risk to humans remains, especially over the next few months and particularly during the Chinese New Year's holiday period, " Lubroth said.
FAO is assisting a number of member countries, particularly those that are at high risk, in preventing and preparing for possible A(H7N9) introductions into their poultry populations, conducting risk assessment, contingency planning and expansion of diagnostic capabilities, and risk based surveillance.
In South and South-East Asia, FAO, with strong support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), has assisted countries with the implementation of animal and environmental surveillance at live bird markets and on farms since June last year. FAO supported projects are also underway to assist some countries in Africa to prevent and be prepared for facing threats from avian influenza viruses, including A(H7N9).
Focusing on good biosecurity standards on farms and markets, regular market cleaning and disinfection, and targeted surveillance in areas that have direct or indirect live poultry trade with infected areas, are essential. If infection in animals is shown or suspected to be confined to a specific area, culling should be considered as long as it performed in a humane way with appropriate compensation paid to producers and marketers.
FAO continues to recommend producers and consumers the following standard precautions:

Sorry! This item is unavailable.
Yorkshire Rose Suncatcher Stained Glass 038
This is a stained glass suncatcher made using the Tiffany copper foil technique.
The rose is the classic Yorkshire / Lancashire design with two rings of 5 white streaky glass petals and 2 rings of little green leaves
I've used a pretty yellow glass nugget in the centre and hung it from a securely attached little silvery chain.
This looks stunning hanging in the window and would make a lovely ornament for any room.. It is 12cm in diameter.
This item is absolutely unique. I never make two pieces exactly the same, I always use slightly different colours and textures of glass.
I also make a red Lancashire version of this design (see photo 5).
The first photo shows the actual Yorkshire Rose made for this order. The 2nd to 4th show Yorkshire rose (037) which is still currently for sale.
I originally designed this for a commission to be given to a Yorkshire man as a reminder of his roots. I also make a Lancashire and a Tudor version of this rose.
Please note : POSTAL CHARGES : . I always part-refund postage via Paypal where more than one piece is ordered to allow for combined postal charge. I do this as soon as I receive your order.

Let's be honest. We are all creatures seeking the nitty-gritty-details about others. Otherwise WHY would we ever log onto Facebook, Snapchat, Instragram, Tumbler, Twitter, Pinterest, or Google. However, news-flaish: the BEST way to discover details about anyone is to read their blog… No joke. The internet is FULL of blogs. Yes I've been living under a rock. And yes, NOW i know what a blog is.
I set myself on this tiny mission to read EVERY blog written by ANYONE who launched a business… (btw there's only 5 millions of these blogs. I read a lot). My mission remained to find the deep ugly truth: what makes ANYBODY start a business. Besides pure sheer craziness… That's a given. Duh. I needed more elaborate answers. I needed honesty. And by the way i started reading these blogs AFTER I launched. Genius i know. So I find honesty in blogs refreshing and helpful. So i'm passing on the torch to the next reader looking for answers by divulging details about ME.
By listing TWENTY shocking items, I'm giving an honest glimpse of myself. Enjoy.
1. I'm an addict… yes the first step is admitting you have a problem. I'm well aware. I'm addicted to all the good stuff. The food (chips and salsa to be specific), the iPhone, the Instragram, the pictures of my kids in non-traditional places (sigh from all those who aren't parents yet. yes seeing my kid lay down and nap in the middle of restaurant is worthy of FB), using the word "the" before all my addiction… Maybe i should take up, the-addicted-to-husband for some brownie points? Just being honest.
2. i love shopping… it shall come as no surprise that i launched a site that combines shopping with color. Let's be honest, this was bound to happen.
3. I love books… they make the world go around. The spicier the cover, the better. I'm not talking about trash books (love those too), but more "let the adventure begin". "life is a canvas". yes I'm random. Don't get me started on a certain invention where your finger "turn" the page with a swipe. Travesty.
4. I'm a proud daughter... Shocked u, didn't i… I'm giving my parents credit? Sure am! They put up with me all the years during the good, bad and downright ugly. We always ponder our answers to the question: who are you? Well I'm a mother, I'm a wife, i'm a woman. But I'm a daughter? Not so much. Are we seriously skipping over the pure fact that without them i wouldn't be A. in existence B. the entrepreneur that i've become (ps. i've only worked in Emergency rooms, NEVER in marketing, NEVER social media, NEVER in business. All good, i got this) C. this special wife, mother and friend. So back to the topic: I'm a proud daughter.
5. I'm a homebody… This may make a few cringe. I enjoy sitting on the patio with a light breeze, and beverage taking in my day. Let's be honest: i enjoy my bed early with a diet coke by my side. I'm well aware that caffeine is supposed to make you awake and not sleepy. Just keep reading. Or skimming.
6. I LOVE red… Shocker. I know. Yes all of it. the Big Apple Red nail polish, the hair color ( I'm a brunette so I'm not promoting my own hair color. Who does that), the nameless-red-sole-$700-shoes, the color of the sky at sunset, and even a red baby-wipe case.
7. My shoe size is 9… I dreamed of being a lifer stuck at 8.5 but these kids made my nose fat and my feet forever 9s. Really. Let's be honest, there are worst places on my body to "remember" my kids by. And no one wants to read about that.
8. I LOVE flats... This sounds very contradicting after reading about the shall-remain-nameless-red-sole-shoes… But it's the truth. NOTHING will beat flats. Ever. Not tennis shoes (athletic people recognize these), not Danskos (medical peeps know these), not stilettos (wowza how do my fellow friends were these ALL day and not just 2hrs at a restaurant), not platforms (let's be honest they hurt just like stilettos). Flats. And no I'm not 55… But plantar fasciitis is no joke. And by the way, flats are totally becoming a "thing". I think.
9. My kids drive me crazy… Let's be honest, you don't want to read about this. It's just a fact, simply stating facts.
10. I dream of a big family… Keyword: dream. If only I was 10 years younger and a billionaire, i would have 5 kids. My two are killing me slowly just fine. Again let's be honest, you don't want to read about this. Just providing facts.
11. I love morning time… who doesn't? Apperently many cities don't wake until 10am (i won't list such cuties but there are on the West Coast, South-ish). Well at that point, I've been on a walk to drain my kids' energy, cooked banana pancakes (delicious. Pinterest that for sure), and been to the beach and back. However, noon hits, I'm done. Nap-time is at 1230 for my toddlers for a reason.
l2. I loathe traffic… I moved from one insanely-annoying-crazy traffic city to the #1 rated worst. So clearly i enjoy to punish myself… Let's be honest, we all dream of just sitting there burning gas. Making the world a better place by staying close to my house.
13. I'm a little inpatient… This is tough reveal. Who wants to reveal that? ME. I have many flaws, but that's a big one… It works very well while raising kids.
14. I'm sarcastic… Another great reveal. Aren't we all… a little? This business owner certainly is. And turns out some people don't appreciate this quality. Shocking i know. As I'm dealing with French boutiques, Turquish factories, and Tunisians saleswomen, I'm learning. Turns out it doesn't translate well to other countries… Let's be honest, i should know better. I think i've been overseas before...
15. I'm totally sappy… Send me an inspirational quote, and I tear up. A patient thanks me for giving her a cup of water, my eyes water. And this is not hormonal folks. This is my natural state. Friends tell me they will miss, i dismiss them with "keep your composure", and walk away to sob on my own. Again very useful in the business world.
16. I'm a paper girl… No i don't hate plastic (my sister is the one that does). Meaning my iPhone calendar isn't empty because I'm a homebody, but because all the little details of my life are tightly spaced in my PAPER planner. Oh yeah, that's big reveal. What serious businesswoman uses paper: this lady. I LOVE my colored pens too…
17. I support small-businesses... You work alone. Your work hard. You work LONG hours. You can't compete with Target (yet), and the reward is slow. BUT you always get my support! I'm a sucker for a beautiful website with beautiful inventory. Again back to the, "I love shopping" fact…
18. I LOVE FOUTAS… Yes this is a Fouta Colors site, but seriously i LOVE THEM. I keep stealing from my inventory because once i see it, i want it. Great business plan, i'm well aware. I think this fits under "addiction" fact. I just find uses for them. They are the color in our home! Any problem can be fixed with a fouta. Having imaginary friends over for dinner, throw a fouta over moving boxes. Pouf gone. And beautiful.
19. I love color… Tagging onto the bullet above, i love color, and foutas are the colors in our lives. You wouldn't know this stepping into our house as we are a white-dominated house, but the pop of color is everywhere (including my toes). I embrace and welcome color!
20. I'm in love with my hubby… always save the best for last. So you can gather that the Fouta Color owner has 2 kiddos, loves Diet Coke, and has a husband.
21. I am a suck-up… I love you babe (you get two full bullets :). Let's be honest, you can never rack up enough brownie points in a marriage.
Enjoy your morning, afternoon, evening, or whatever few moments you had to read this post.
Check back with me soon… Working on a blog schedule with my beautiful paper planner.
