Tahoe-area J2 racers shine at Junior Nationals
MAMMOTH, Calif. – The Lake Tahoe area was well represented at the J2 National Championships held last week at Mammoth Mountain, where the top 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds from across the country gathered to compete on a national level.
Sponsored by the United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) in conjunction with Marriott, the week-long event featured competition in slalom, giant slalom, super G, downhill and duel.
Local racers took advantage of their experience on the race venues and claimed five of the eight national titles and 15 total medals.
Competition opened in Mammoth with the slalom on Wednesday, March 7, during which Erik Arvidsson of the Squaw Valley Ski Team claimed the win. He won both runs by comfortable margins over teammate Max Hall, who finished second. Arvidsson and Hall were joined on the podium by teammate and Whittell High student Hughston Norton in fifth and Sugar Bowl Academy's Ty Sprock, who is also a Warrior, in sixth.
In Thursday's downhill, Scotty Lebel of Lake Tahoe Racing took the win from the back of the pack and collected the junior national title. Jorden Fuller of the Squaw Valley Ski Team joined Lebel on the podium with a fourth-place finish.
Friday's super G races put Sugar Bowl Academy athletes on both the men's and women's podium, with Brian Francis finishing second and Julia Bjorkman of Incline Village taking the women's crown. Francis was joined on the podium by Lebel in third and Sprock in fifth. Julia Cashell of the Squaw Valley Ski Team was also solid in sixth.
Over the weekend, Sugar Bowl Academy athletes demonstrated their prowess in the GS event, as Bjorkman grabbed her second win of the series and Sprock found himself atop the podium with the GS crown. On Saturday afternoon, Bjorkman overcame a two-second deficit with a blazing-fast second run to claim the crown. Similarly, Sprock dominated Sunday's second run taking the win by 1.7 seconds over Jeremy Epstein from the Eastern Division.
The local J2 national champions, Arvidsson, Bjorkman, Lebel and Sprock, will compete at U.S. Nationals later this month in Winter Park, Colo.
In all, the Squaw Valley Ski Team had 18 top-15 finishes, Sugar Bowl Academy had 13 and Lake Tahoe Racing had two.

'Prisoners' Is an Emotionally Intense, Edge-of-Your-Seat Thrill Ride
Speaking as a father of two, a parent's worst fear is that something bad will happen to their children. And if that something bad does happen, what do you do? How do you cope? Who do you become? Where do you go next? In Prisoners (due out September 20), every single character is forced to spend time in their own hellish prison, be it physical or psychological (or both), when the kidnapping of two little girls rocks a quiet, little blue-collar Pennsylvania town. It's a cold, dark film that twists and turns its way down wintry roads, through empty woods and inside deserted buildings. It'll test the way you root for a character as you navigate your way around the many complexities a person faces during a tragic event. People throw around the term "edge of your seat" a lot when it comes to movies with a bit of a faster pulse, but Prisoners is different. It's an emotionally intense edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that won't let go of your mind, body and soul until the title card appears in the end credits.
There are many stars in this one (Terrence Howard, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Paul Dano, Melissa Leo, Maria Bello), but the film truly belongs to Hugh Jackman and cinematographer Roger Deakins (Skyfall), whose stark, creepy visuals set an unsettling tone right from the start. Jackman plays a man's man, a survivalist who stocks up on supplies and advice for his son in the event the world as they know it begins crumbling around them. He's tough, rugged (and bearded), and when his precious young daughter goes missing during a Thanksgiving dinner with the neighbors (Howard, Davis), it's not long before he's taking matters into his own blood-soaked hands.
Standing in the way of this desperate father turned vigilante is a detective (Gyllenhaal) who's doing everything he can to solve the case and find those children without parental interference, as well as the father (Howard) of the other girl gone missing and the quietly deranged man (Dano) who may or may not know where the kids are.
As each minute ticks by without a resolution, tension builds. Just when you think you have it figured out, the script throws a curveball. Just when you think you know how it's going to end, the characters surprise you yet again. What's great about Prisoners is that it's a fantastic thriller that gives you just enough information to keep you glued to the plot while your emotions run wild, ultimately forcing each audience member into their own complicated confinement -- trapped somewhere between right and wrong, good and bad.
Where do you draw the line when it comes to protecting your family? It's not an easy question to answer, and it won't get any easier after you see Prisoners.

text: Lp! As I said in my presentation, I come from Slovenia. I would like to introduce you to hunting in our country, hunting traditions and habits. You closer to our wildlife and way of hunting it. Well, all pretty slow because I do not speak English so well as you. In Slovenia we do not know privat hunting, but the game managed hunting grounds of the family, which are societies. For the hunting we have a concession contract for a period of twenty years. The amount of concession fees is ten percent of the revenue generated by the sale of game meat. We pay it each year separately. The hunter can become the eighteen years as soon as you can not get an arms license. The first is the trainee period, which lasts from one up to three years. Each trainee has a mentor. Mentor has made mentoring exam. After the preparatory period followed by the first family exam, and then state that consists of more than ten individual tests. State examination are also lectures. So a few to start ... Lovski zdravo Hunting hello Janez L

Spring is just around the corner and even though I caution folks about planting and seeding too early in the season, truthfully… it's safe to go ahead and start a few things indoors.
Taking care to read your seed catalogs, choose the varieties that are recommended for your area and be sure to read how long it takes to produce each crop. Some items may not take as long as others. For instance, lettuces can be directly sown into containers and grow quickly in cooler temperatures, yet tomatoes benefit from seeding into one container at a warm temperature, and then transplanted into a larger container to grow a better root system before being put into the ground. Squash, cucumbers and melons are faster crops, and like to be sown later, closer to planting time. Sow multiple seed directly into 3- or 4-inch pots, and then, once developed, directly plant them into the garden.
Reputable seed companies all offer specific information about each type of vegetable or plant they offer. Some companies offer better information than others, and I depend on these as a reference guide. It's a good idea to check the varieties for how large they grow, for instance; determinate bush tomatoes don't take as much room as indeterminate vine varieties. Store your seed tightly closed in a refrigerator (not a freezer) when not in use. Many varieties will last for years if stored properly.
This south-facing window is perfect for starting an indoor seeding area.
When wanting to garden indoors or start your plants inside, the first thing to do is dedicate an area just for this purpose. Find a south-facing window if possible because it provides the most light for ensuring healthy starts. If not a south window, select the brightest one you have. You can always move plants away a few feet if it becomes too hot to handle.
You need a sturdy table or two for seeding and related equipment. Anything from a folding card table to a sturdy work bench will do. Cover it with plastic so moisture won't ruin the surface. Then set up a stand with a fluorescent light fixture or two for your plants after they begin to grow. There are grow lights of all kinds, but fluorescents are cool lights and still provide the wide spectrum necessary to keep seedlings and other plants from stretching. You needn't turn the lights on yet – wait till right after the seeds germinate. Remember, a leggy plant is not a healthy one, and you might as well purchase new plants or start over if stretching becomes a problem.
Invest in a small sprayer for watering seedlings. You don't want to pour water from a watering can or it will wash out your soil, cover seeds too much, and cause uneven moisture.
The next thing you need is a heat source under the trays for the root systems to develop. Heating mats made especially for this purpose are available in all sizes and prices. It's a good investment, especially if you keep your home or growing area cool. The rooting zone of most vegetable and annual seedlings should be 68 to 78 F, and uniform heating is best.
It's recommended that you begin with a tray that acts as a capturing device for water and does not drain indoors. You can always remove excess water with a sponge if it builds up. This will prevent spills on the floor and furniture and may also help with keeping humidity levels up in the growing area.
Use trays that hold water and place capillary mats in them. Water the capillary mat before placing seeded pots on it. This will help keep humidity levels up and improve drainage.
Place a "capillary mat" in the tray you plan to set your seeded pots in. A capillary mat is a spongy fiber about ¼ inch thick, much like quilt batting. When you water your seeded pots, this mat will wick away excess moisture from some containers while providing it for others. It makes the watering more uniform throughout the system, keeping the plants moist but not wet. Seed that's germinating will require 100% humidity but don't like to stay constantly wet. After sowing seeds in your trays, place them on the capillary mat inside the tray that does not have holes in it. Then water in well with a sprayer or spray bottle. A light spray is best, so you don't flood or wash seed into each other. If you get tired of pumping a spray bottle, you can use a larger volume one that doesn't require as much work. A 1-gallon sprayer works great. Be sure to wet the capillary mat too, but not soak it to the point of water pooling anywhere.
Sow seeds thinly in your pots, not too crowded. Many seed companies will specify approximately how many seeds per square inch. Overcrowding will result in stretched, unhealthy seedlings. The more room you give them, the better your plants will turn out. Cover seeds with extra mix, only as deep as the seed is in diameter. Small seeds only need a dusting of mix over them while larger seeds like a little more. Be careful not to bury your seeds or they may not come up at all. Be sure to label your seed as you sow with a waterproof pen. You'd be surprised how fast you'll forget what you sowed!
Use a specialized "seeding mix" avoiding any media with any fertilizer, as this will inhibit germination. Scatter a few seeds and cover lightly with more mix.
After seeding and watering them in, cover the tray with another tray, preferably black or dark in color, balancing it directly on top of the other like a lid. Most seeds like to germinate in total darkness (just check your varieties), and this tray will hold in humidity and shut out light, as well as keeping the warmth in from your heating mat. At this point, I usually cover the seeded trays with a sheet of plastic to "chamber" the trays. This way I know 100% humidity was held underneath for the seeds to germinate more uniformly, without drying around the edges of the trays. Check your seeds a couple of times a day for moisture, being careful not to let them dry out or remain too wet.
Remove the lids on the trays as soon as the first two leaves appear. Keep checking your trays, and as soon as most seeds have germinated, then turn on the lights. Keep the lights a foot or two away from the young plants so they don't dry out too quickly. As the plants mature you might want to lower the fixture a little closer, being sure to check frequently for drying out or wilting too much. Try not to water in the evening hours since wet foliage overnight is a disease waiting to happen. This extra light not only helps keep plants short and healthy, but also helps to prevent many water-borne diseases and stem-rots.
Cover seed trays and pots with lids, and then cover the area with a sheet of plastic.
When young seedlings are an inch or two tall it's time to decide whether they will be planted out into the ground, transplanted into larger pots or hardened off for later. Reducing the average temperatures, withholding some water, and yet still maintaining high light conditions will accomplish this "hardening." You can do this indoors, or take them outside on good days, placing them in a partial-shade location so they don't "sunburn." Be sure to bring them back indoors on chilly nights below 57 F.
Divide and transplant your seedlings before they get too crowded. Continue to grow under lights until ready to out into the garden.
• Select seeds that are best suited for your area (zone) or growing needs.
When transplanting young seedlings, the stem is sometimes buried up to the first set of true leaves. Many plants will root out from the stem creating better development and structure. Be careful not to pack soil mixes too tightly around the necks of these young plants as they might bruise easily. Simply sift the soil up around their necks and water in. At this point I choose a weakened, half-dose of water-soluble fertilizer or root stimulator. An organic, water-soluble solution is also a good choice to add beneficial microelements and get them off to a great start. Keep plants under lights until they go outside, and be sure to stay on top of watering needs until established in the garden.
Record keeping is really important if you ever hope to be successful at growing your own plants. Keeping notes of the date sown, plant variety, how many seeds you sowed and when they matured enough to transplant will really help you with timing your crops each year.

Hunting and fishing traditions must continue to flourish in Colorado
By Tim Brass
Guest Commentary
Hunting and fishing in northwest Colorado is a tradition that goes back generations to pioneering trappers and fur-bearers. Mule deer and sage-grouse were once much more abundant than they are now, and were hunted in greater numbers. More recently, elk have expanded onto much of the range formerly occupied only by deer and pronghorn, and now the area is home to the largest elk herd in North America.
Sportsmen from all over the state and country spend millions of dollars a year on hotels, gas, guide services, equipment, food and the like in Rio Blanco, Moffat and Garfield counties. Without healthy and harvestable populations of game, we could see our long-held traditions deteriorate.
There are ways to keep our outdoor traditions and hunting and fishing economy intact while responsibly developing the energy resources of Piceance Creek and other nearby Bureau of Land Management lands. This includes adequate
pre-planning through master energy leasing plans, as well as identifying and protecting areas of high-quality, undeveloped fish and wildlife habitat.

Part-memoir, part-guidebook to the world of wine, the story follows Pasanella as he goes from esteemed designer\u2014known for his nautical-inspired design of the Maritime Hotel and his sideways rocking chair on display at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum \u2014to wine industry neophyte, then respected proprietor of a shop, Pasanella and Son, Vintners . He shares his discoveries along the way, including the differences between European and American wine making (they tend to mix grapes, while we lean towards pure wines), as well as the surprisingly large role wholesale superstore Costco plays in the business. Throughout, Pasanella features Italian-inspired recipes for treats such as fried sage leaves and homemade limoncello. An index of wine world misconceptions and best practices make for the perfect digestif. Post-reading, you'll want to uncork your favorite bottle, but it's likely that Pasanella's infectious curiosity and enviable mastery will also inspire you to make bolder moves next time you're at the wine shop.

Fall Leaf Removal Tips
Fall foliage may be beautiful to look at, but think twice before you allow it to accumulate on your lawn. If you don't keep up with leaf removal, a blanket of leaves can suffocate your grass and block it from getting the sunlight, water and nutrients it needs. A good rule of thumb is that if you can't see your lawn through the leaves, it can't grow.
Proper leaf cleanup will give your grass enough room to breathe and help it come back healthier in the spring. Remove thick layers of leaves - especially those that are heavy and matted from rainfall - before they damage your lawn.
Leaf removal with a blower:
Using a leaf blower is one of the quickest ways to clear your yard. The Troy-Bilt cordless blower and other leaf blowers from Troy-Bilt will help you get all your debris in one place, making it easier to rake, bag and prepare for pickup. For simpler leaf removal, use a blower with a vacuum feature that will collect and bag the debris for you.
Leaf cleanup and recycling:
If you only have a light scattering of leaves in your yard, you can use your Troy-Bilt lawn mower to bag most of them. Or, if you have a mulching mower, you can pass over your lawn until they are finely chopped. Instead of bagging and disposing of the mulched leaves, you can leave them on your grass. In addition to saving you the work of leaf removal, keeping the mulched leaves on your lawn will allow your grass and soil to absorb nutrients and organic matter. This fortification will help your lawn survive the winter months and improve its appearance in the spring.
For heavier leaf fall, you should use equipment that was designed for leaf cleanup. A chipper shredder vacuum sucks up, shreds and bags leaves in one easy step. An all-in-one shredder, vacuum and blower also mulches leaves as you go. Once you've cleared the leaves, redistribute them over your lawn. Just be sure that you can still see the grass through the layer of chopped leaves.
Composting your leaves:
Another way to recycle your leaves is to use them to make compost. After you've used your mower or leaf removal equipment to shred your leaves, put them in a pile or a composting bin. Then, mix in a source of nitrogen, such as grass clippings, to accelerate the decomposition process. You should keep the leaves damp and turn them every few weeks.
If you turn your leaves frequently, you can have compost in as little as three months. How long it takes for leaves to decompose depends, in part, on the season. Leaves decay more quickly in the summer than in the winter. During the winter months, stop turning the leaves to prevent heat loss. When your compost is ready, you can use it to fertilize your soil. Before planting in the spring, use you Troy-Bilt garden tiller to mix your compost into your soil beds.
Leaf removal equipment parts:
Properly maintaining your equipment will make your fall leaf cleanup easier and more efficient, so you can get back to enjoying the weather. Rely on Troy-Bilt for all the leaf removal equipment parts you need, including chipper shredder accessories, leaf blower parts and more.

Durham Travel Guide
Durham's legend © Rebecca Kennison
With a thousand years of history under its belt, and a skyline dominated by its magnificent cathedral, the hilly city of Durham in northeast England is picturesque and prominent on the list of the UK's must-see tourist destinations.
Back in 995, legend has it a group of monks from Lindisfarne (the Holy Island off the coast of northeast England) were wandering around looking for a place to settle down and entomb the body of their revered mentor, Saint Cuthbert. They stopped to help a distressed milkmaid who had lost her cow, and the animal was found resting on a pretty peninsula formed by the River Wear. The spot seemed perfect for their purpose and they stayed, later starting work on the building of a cathedral (1093), which still houses Saint Cuthbert's remains.
As well as becoming one of England's most influential ecclesiastical centres, the residents of Durham also set about making their mark politically, mainly because of the town's strategic position close to the Scottish border. The castle built by William the Conqueror in 1071 saw plenty of military action over the centuries, and stands proudly opposite the cathedral, now home to a college of Durham University.
Many of the sons and daughters of Durham have made their mark in a variety of fields, from poets and artists to novelists and musicians. One of the most notable modern celebrities spawned by the city is Tony Blair, former UK Prime Minister.

Home visits for the newborn child
A strategy to improve survival
Every year, about 3.7 million babies die in the first four weeks of life (2004 estimates). Most of these newborns are born in developing countries and most die at home. Up to two-thirds of these deaths can be prevented if mothers and newborns receive known, effective interventions. A strategy that promotes universal access to antenatal care, skilled birth attendance and early postnatal care will contribute to sustained reduction in maternal and neonatal mortality.
While both mothers and newborns need care during the period after birth, this Statement focuses on the care of the newborn child, and the evidence for the same. Studies have shown that home-based newborn care interventions can prevent 30–60% of newborn deaths in high mortality settings under controlled conditions. Therefore, WHO and UNICEF now recommend home visits in the baby's first week of life to improve newborn survival.
This Joint Statement includes information on how to care for the newborn child at home, specific recommendations for countries, and next steps.

Free Wi-Fi: the Movement To Give Away Your Internet For the Good of Humanity
Written by admin No Comments
Last Updated: January 30, 2013
pigrabbitbear writes "We are strangely territorial when it comes to our wireless networks. The idea of someone siphoning off our precious bandwidth without paying for it is, for most people, completely unacceptable. But the Open Wireless Movement wants to change all that. 'We are trying to create a movement where people are willing to share their network for the common good,' says Adi Kamdar, an activist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. 'It's a neighborly thing to do.' That's right, upstanding citizen of the Internet, you can be a good neighbor just by opening your wireless network to strangers — or so the line goes. The ultimate vision is one of neighborhoods completely void of passwords, where any passerby can quickly jump on your network and use Google Maps to find directions or check their email or do whatever they want to do (or, whatever you decide they can do)."

We picked up a shabby chic style dresser for £25, and a Liberty upholstered armchair for a tenner, haggled down from £18.

where is moved to ,anybody?
Went to Wimbledon Market last Saturday to find props for a Theatre Production I am working on. And ended up also filling a trolly with things to take home for myself. If vintage is your style then there are some great things, I picked up a 1960's Videocamera for £1 which looks beautiful on my 'Vintage Finds' Shelf at home, I also got a LLoyd Loom Laundry Basket for £4! As well as many other items. There is some tatt, people just bringing their old rubbish but I would say this makes up just 30% of the market. The rest is filled with great stalls offering vintage crockery, household items, costume jewellery, fruit & veg, meat. It's not fancy but that's fine by me as this is why you pick up some great bargains! I'm interested in going back as I hear the household clearances are great!
Attended today as a buyer...... its very much a case of pro's and con's with this one. You can park on site which is good, but it was cramped and disorganised. There were very few sellers, in my opinion, and again they lay out at times is cramped.
There was a selection of stuff available, including a fair amount of rubbish, but definitely some decent bigger items.
It looked to me like the toilets had been tidied up slightly. The ground isn't the cleanest but what do you expect, its a car park and home to banger racing!
Its useful as you have the meat and fruit sellers there too. So I finished up with getting some decent fruit and veg.
I would go again as a buyer (I didn't have to pay to go in) but probably without the kids so I could really get stuck in and find the good stuff.
very nice car boot, we walked around and found lots of intersting things.
Wimbledon Car Boot Sale | Wimbledon Stadium Plough Lane SW17 Hi! I would like to the attention of the administration Wimbledon Stadium Car Boot Sale The terrible sanitary conditions on the territory of the market This is from the opening time; a lot of rubbish pits nasty smell, on asvalte the swamp and water lot broken glass in the parking (dangerous, can pierce tires) the sellers site, This Saturdays I scratched heel right leg on a piece of glass ...damaged the sole of my shoe. . Sellers pay, buyers pay What are they paying? A tour of the rubbish dump?! You have an mistake on the site; in the payment of buyers Saturdays; From opening until 7.30 am buyers pay - 5 pounds. The sale is strictly for second hand goods only and trading begins at 7:30am. Admission is £2 before 8:30 and just a pound thereafter. Sellers need to be there for 6:30 on Saturdays and 7:00 on Sundays. Cars cost £10 and vans cost £20.
Anyone who knows the art of car boot and jumble should know Wimbledon is an absolute find anyone writing reviews stating stereotypical views shouldn't be at a car boot. Wimbledon is very busy and yes buyers are savage but the car boot is a treasure hunt and buyers are raring and ready to go. Bartering is part of the game simple the only reason silly prices like 10p exist is because many sellers do not wish to return home with their boot full of what they class as junk. I personally love Wimbledon car boot I have found many a treasure and strongly believe if you want a quiet subdued experience visit or sell on eBay. Wimbledon is all about meeting people from all over the world and at times hearing stories first hand about ur pieces u r purchasing. I visit whenever I can do not let these reviews put you off roll it sleeves up get stuck in and experience the thrill of sourcing a possible treasure or just a few nice pieces.
I love Wimbledon Carboot. It is my go to place anytime I feel the need to scour for something interesting - whether it be furniture, crockery or quirky vintage finds. Wednesdays are my favourite day as that is when many of the house clearance traders go. If you don't enjoy rummaging through bags and boxes to find what you're looking for, then this is not the place for you. Some traders have lovely neat stalls and others litterally throw everything out of their truck onto the floor, but that is where you pick up the best value for money items - sometimes you find some incredible rarities. Prices for the most part are good. Just remember to take some wetwipes for your grubby hands - because they will get grubby.
I wish I had read some of these reviews before packing up my vintage items & crafts only to be horrified. It was like a prison grounds full of broken or knocked of old tat. People rumaging in my car before the engine was turned off. The stall holder that boxed me in appeared to have a lot of dubious games & phones with an illicit side line behind the car, No buyers wanted to spend more than 25p & i wanted to pack up & go 10 minutes after i arrived. It was awful as a seller & having walked around the stalls myself, wouldn't have bought anything either. I eventually escaped about 1pm when it started to rain & cars moved having sold virtually nothing. I highly recommend queen mary;s hospital boot sale.. it's quiet but the people are lovely & the stalls are full of trinkets & decent stuff, not worn trainers. When i thought of Wimbledon, I thought 'village'. How naive am i?
Wimbledon car boot sale is an absolute joke. I went there on a Sunday morning, I got up rather early for that purpose. It was my first time there and what a disappointment that was. Being famous, I was expecting the car boot sale being rather big, it was not at all . Most sellers there were flogging junk (dirty dolls, filthy juicers, old ashtrays, 20 year old printers..). Most sellers come from council estates trying to get a few bucks from their tacky and cheap possessions. AVOID!
Absolute JOKE!!!! Tuned up for the boot sale at ten to seven this morning saturday 1st june waited 45-50 mins in this time the stewards where all walking about and not one seward gave us any infomation about what was going on. We just sat and waited and waited until i had to get out of the car and walk to the front of the quew to ask what wasgoing on they then told me that it was full with an attatude they left at least ten car and vans waiting. ADVICE you need to work on your coustmer service and pay a bit more respect to the people who are providing you with all your money.
is it open on thursdays april 2013
This Was My First Time Going To The Car Boot On A Wednesday. Im Glad I Went As I Found Some Artificial Flowers And A Plant Which Was Lovely As On Tuesday I Was Going To Buy These At A Shop Called Wilkinson Which Would Have Come To 15 Pounds. Its Like The Flowers Were Waiting For Me They Only Cost 3 For The Lot. I Also Found A Lovely Green Vase For 2 Pounds Happy With My Purchaese Will Be Going Again On Wednesday. Its Not As Busy As The Saturday However It Depends On What Your Looking For.
There Is Me Looking Forward To Going To The Car Boot, I Went All The Way On December 22 There Wasn't One. Does Anybody Know When The Next Car Boot Sale Is On Thanks Chantelle.
Hello everybody. Can you tell me if there is a boot sale at Wimbledon Stadium tomorrow
last Wednesday (05/12/12) was my first time as a seller at Wimbledon, I have sold at many car-boots closer to my home on the South coast. I had not expected any more or less form Wednesday's sale, was i in for a shock. First the set up area, the car park seemed full of broken glass, not helpful for those with tyres in flatted with air, also not very nice for buyers with dogs or young children, in fact not very nice. Another obstacle to watch out for was the lake, a very large puddle that benefited from having a large mattress in the middle. It was nice setting up without a crown around you getting in the way, that made a pleasant change but part from that the day was for from pleasant. Once set up i could not believe the rudeness of (buyers) in brackets as i had more items stolen than paid for. A few customers were happy to pay from 40p to £3.00 for baby items (vests, clothes. coats and shoes) that have been washed ,cleaned, packed, free from defects and presented neatly, for some the cost to high. People would drop items on the floor and then walk on them, without any thought for the work and effort and cost that had gone in to getting them ready for sale. People would offer to buy the whole stall for as (much) as £25 pounds, (which is the cost to sellers for entry with a van) or 10p for a £3.00 coat I don't not mind offering people a discount and in the past have given 25% but to get up at 3.00 am, drive 70 miles, wait in the cold for hours, i would like some fruit for my labours. Once the sale was over , (which could not come soon enough) i needed to use the facilities, as these were windowless a light or lighting was of major importance, but the facilities were in total darkness. On the whole my experience of Wimbledon will stay with me for a long time, not for the right reasons. The venue is small, dirty, dangerous and poorly equipped.
Within This Year I Have Been To 3 Car Boot Sales As This Is One Of The Biggest This Is One Of My Favourites. A Couple Of Weeks Ago I Bought A LAMP For 2 pounds, egyptian papyrus paintings which were 1 pound each, some books which were 20pence each Im especially proud of The Bachman Books By Stephen king with 4 books in one that was my bargain of the day and a ornament for my mum. Very good for 10 pounds. I have been back more times and if the weather is good on Saturday will be going.
Never 2000 sellers.... The place is far too small. On a good Summer's day you might get 150 max! And that's only on a Saturday. The other two day are a lottery! If the forecast is poor the attendance is poor and sellers don't pitch. It's abit of a scramble! Riddled with those horrible granny trollies... Trip over one of those and you're doomed!
Without doubt the best boot that I have ever visited. I managed seeing about half the stalls in the time available to me. Lots of interesting items from tat clothes to computers and retro Hi-Fi. I wish I had bought the 1500 watt UPS for £10, but it was so heavy I decided discretion was better than a twisted back, I hope the guy is there tomorrow (14th oct) as the UPS is MINE.. hands off, you oaf :-)
I am a seasoned Car boot buyer especially for clothes, shoes and been at it for years but went to the Wimbledon today and arrived late about 12.30noon took £1 to enter nd gave me a ticket to go in ( never paid to shop before) I got a brand new River island dress worth £45 for £5 then blazer, cardigans were £0.50 bought a dress for £1 any way took in £15 and brought 10 very near new clothings that I wil be wearing to work. Haggle though..definitely the best Carboot for a buyer.
A depressing boot fair where sellers are put to a hard task of basically giving things for peanuts such as 20p, 50p max !!! the type of clientele is only good if you really want to get rid of your extra junk!
This is on every saturday of the year and has been for over 15 years. It is easily the best car boot around if you are a buyer, once a year when the greyhound derby is on then it is cancelled sometime in june. if you are selling and you are a dealer then beware, buyers here are very savvy and will simply walk past your stall without even looking, eg you have a stall full of new stuff/antiques/have professional display cabinets etc. sellers should always beware of those that approach them when setting up, this is when they know you are busy and is the time when items are most likely to get stolen so just tell them to come back once you have set up, if you start dealing with these people then within minutes you will have a swarm of people pulling things out of your car and you will not be able to keep track of it all.
I have stalled at Wimbledon on Wednesday several times over the past 2 years. You do have to get there early to get a pitch (no advance booking, just turn up); once I arrived at 8.30 just in time to be given one of the last 3! The fee seems to vary between £12 and £15 for cars according to season, more for vans. There is a good mix of stallholders, from people just getting rid of unwanted items to professional dealers. Every time I have been there I have sold most of my stuff. The only downsides are that on a windy day you get covered in dust (from the tracks, I think), and the two-hour wait between arriving early enough to get a pitch and being allowed to set up (strictly not before 10.15). There is a relatively short selling time - 10.15 to about 12.30, when people start packing up - but it's well worth it for the number of customers (private and trade) and the rare luxury of setting up in daylight, even in midwinter. The Saturday and Sunday car boots are run by a different company, start much earlier and are a couple of pounds cheaper; they are well worth trying too, but of course there are far more options at the weekend, whereas a midweek event in this part of London is a real find.
really disagree with previous comment (angela) mixed bunch of sellers, genuine bargains, it is busy on sunny days, just have to arrive early
good information but entry fee is £1 after 1st two hour on sat.
Very useful
After attending this boot sale today i thought it my duty to warn others of its underwhelming, dirty and unbelievably overpriced nature. Almost every seller looked as through their merchandise had been poured from a dustbin, dominated by men in vans attempting to offload their roadside pickings. I did enquire as to the price of a couple of items only to be told how much they go for on eBay, or how much i could sell them for on eBay. Not a pleasant experience and certainly not a one i will be repeating.

Tuck Everlasting
by Natalie Babbitt
Book Club: A Literature-Based Curriculum outlines a complete theme-based unit with Book Club lessons focusing on Tuck Everlasting.
Below you will find a synopsis, further reading materials, discussion topics, and reviews that you might find useful during your teaching of Tuck Everlasting.
A Synopsis
Ten-year-old Winnie Foster lives a protected life in 1880. One morning she slips out of her family's cottage and into the Treegap wood, which her family owns. There she sees a handsome young man, Jesse Tuck, sitting by a huge tree and drinking water from a spring. Even though Winnie is thirsty, Jesse refuses to let her drink from the spring. Jesse's mother, Mae, and brother, Miles, arrive. Before she knows it, Winnie is being kidnapped by the Tucks.
The Tucks tell Winnie that eighty-seven years ago, they drank the spring water and learned that it gives everlasting life. Mae explains that if Winnie had sipped the water today, she would stay a little girl forever. Their secret is overheard by a stranger who schemes to make a fortune from the water.
At the Tucks' home, Jesse's father, Angus, tries to make Winnie understand why death is a necessary part of the wheel of life and why a life without growth and change is meaningless. The stranger appears and explains that he has made a deal with the Fosters: he will return Winnie to them in exchange for the Treegap wood. Learning that his plan also includes forcing Winnie to drink the water, Mae strikes out in anger at the stranger, who later dies. Arrested and put in jail, Mae is sentenced to hang. Winnie then takes part in a daring plan to free Mae from jail. The night before the escape, Jesse gives a bottle of spring water to Winnie. He asks that she drink from it when she is seventeen, so they can marry and live forever together.
Seventy years later, Mae and Angus Tuck return to the much-changed village of Treegap. They stop at a cemetery and find what they had both hoped and feared to find: a recent gravestone with Winnie's name on it. Winnie chose to remain part of the wheel of life.

Planet Book Club's Review
We would like to introduce Planet Book Club's student book reviewers: Raoul and Carmen.
Note to Our Readers: You will notice that the book gets two reviewers. Why? Because we believe two opinions are generally more helpful than one opinion. Remember that people have completely unique sets of experiences that shape how they think and feel about things. Something else to keep in mind: Even perfectly pleasant human beings can have cranky days, lazy days, and confused days. Let's face it—we can't be thoughtful, clear-headed, and fair every moment of our lives. Our reviewers, though friendly and occasionally brilliant, are only human. So, to be fair to you and to each book, we always give two points of view. That way, if one reviewer is having a bad day and seems completely out to lunch, you can perhaps connect with the other reviewer. Got it? Good.
Knowing something about the reviewers might help you to understand their opinions. So, let's get to know them:
I'm Raoul, and I'm your worst nightmare. Just kidding! Actually, I hope to be a politician one day. I'm really good at juggling tasks and pretending to be in control, I can act friendly toward most people, and I'm sort of photogenic, which means I look awesome in photographs. In my free time I like to play clarinet in our school jazz band, go bowling, follow the stock market, and listen to music. That's what I have to say about Tuck Everlasting...
Raoul: I was truly moved by this book because I believe some of us should be more permanent than others. In fact, I even plan on having myself frozen after I die. Why not? It's my contribution to future generations—people who might otherwise never get to know me. In my opinion, the Tuck family just doesn't know what to do with all that time they have. They're too boring to have everlasting life. Let me tell you, if the book were called Raoul Everlasting, it wouldn't be about me living out in the middle of the woods acting high-and-mighty about the meaning of life.
This is how it would go: I find the spring. I get dragged to the Tuck home. I listen to them whine about what a curse the spring is, and I pretend to take it all to heart. As soon as they trust me and let their guard down, I go back to the spring, have a nice long drink from it, then get to work on a business plan and a plan to keep the Tucks quiet. Let's face it, a spring like this would be a real benefit to mankind. I mean, I would be careful with the stuff. Believe me, I would only like to spend eternity with a select few people. I would use my natural-born wisdom and business sense in sharing the water.
In short, this is a sad book about what happens when people lack ambition and common sense. The main characters mean well but they have bad attitudes. We can learn from their mistakes.
Hello, my name is Carmen. I'm president of my own online club—Future Physicists of America. My other interests include collecting magnets, playing badminton, training my pet mice, and swing dancing. I admit—I'm difficult to please. I hate clutter and I want everything to make sense. If it can't be explained by a graph or spread sheet, it probably won't interest me. Well that's me in a nutshell. So let's get to the task at hand, here is what I think about the book...
Carmen: Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt is a book for anyone who thinks living forever might be a good idea. Death is a hard thing for most people to accept. Just think about the folks who plan to have their bodies frozen after they die. They hope that one day scientists will have the technology to thaw them out and send them on their way. Who knows—maybe right about now you're thinking, "Sounds like a plan to me!" Well, one of the main ideas in Tuck Everlasting is that there is a natural cycle to life. The story suggests that maybe people shouldn't try to interfere with this cycle by doing things to avoid death. Even if you violently disagree with this idea and are bound and determined to live forever, Tuck Everlasting is an interesting and entertaining book worth reading.
The issue in Babbitt's book is not frozen bodies but a special spring that gives everlasting life to those who drink from it. The main character in the story, ten-year-old Winnie Foster, stumbles on the spring one day while exploring her family's woods. At the spring she meets Jesse Tuck and quickly gets drawn into the unusual life he has with his brother and mother. The problem is, until Winnie came along, only the Tuck family knew about the secret spring. And they have powerful, thoughtful reasons for wanting to keep it hidden from the rest of the world. The rest of the book focuses on what the Tucks, and eventually Winnie, go through to protect their amazing secret. As you read, you will have some tough decisions to make: What would you do if you were Winnie? Do you agree with the Tucks' attitude toward the spring? Do you agree with Winnie's actions?
Tuck Everlasting asks readers to examine the idea of "forever" and think about the role of death in the cycle of life. It also looks at ideas such as loyalty, friendship, making responsible decisions, and dealing with the results of these decisions. But it's not all seriousness. You'll simply enjoy this fun fantasy story and the adventures of its interesting, likable characters.

Iowa Soil Moisture Experiment
Project Description
Soil moisture has a significant impact on human safety and our economy. It affects land-use and agricultural planning and the cost, quantity, and quality of food. Accurate weather forecasts require the rate of transfer of soil moisture to the atmosphere, whether by evaporation or plant transpiration. Trends in soil moisture are also reflected in climate and regional weather, and affect drought and fire danger levels. Detecting excessive soil moisture is needed for flood warning and mitigation.

I know each of you has met someone who you felt had "no heart," were "heartless," or worse yet, were "cold-hearted." We've always been taught to express our emotions, our love and even our power in terms of this strange pumping mechanism that lies within our chests; in no way resembling the classic Valentine heart. We can have "heartburn," "heartache," and can be both "heart sore" and "heavy-hearted."
I know it is our brains that tell us what to do, but we choose to refer to the great pumping organ which pumps fresh blood and its life-giving oxygen to our individual cells as the true life force. When we're romantically rejected or someone hurts us deeply, we say we are "heartbroken." Perhaps we refer to the heart because it's as close as we can get to the soul that most of us know lives within us.
Each of us is as individual as a snowflake, by design and character. Although we can have much in common, most of us are different from one another. We respond to chronic pain and illness in different ways. We make choices based on these differences. There is, however, one way in which all of us are similar: we all live from the heart. Motivation, inspiration, reactions, and all the other vagaries of life are determined by the way we "feel" in our hearts. It's that ethereal place that no one can identify which truly goads us, prompts us, and drives our life force.
Many of us have been knocked around a bit more than is usual, and the first tendency is to lose heart. Our spiritual selves can become so bruised and beaten, we are sorely tempted to give up this battle, often called life, and just lie down and quit. I've tried it myself a few times in my life, but eventually you have to go to the bathroom. Eventually, you get hungry, the dog has to go out, the cat swats at your hair, or a disembodied voice coming through the door yells up the stairs, "What's for dinner?"
Each time I try to give up on life, it pummels me, laughs at me or places some demand upon me. That's when I'm certain, it doesn't matter what is going on in my broken down body, it's what lives in my heart that counts. It houses the seat of all motivation and impetus and drives us forward. The demands of life also do that, such as the dog sitting and making circles on the floor to scratch an itchy rear end. Do we get up, put cream on her tush and clean the carpet or do we ignore her and it? Life is full of decisions such as these. Demands are good things. They motivate, push and shove and call out to us in anything but a sweet voice but they do inspire.
Inspiration comes from the heart. All great writers, poets, musicians and athletes can tell you that. We often hear the term "half-hearted" when someone doesn't put all they have into a project. That kind of behavior shows. Others can see it as it sticks out of you with its failure that is derived not from suffering but from not trying. Trying, like motivation, comes from the heart.
As an RN, I've taken care of numerous individuals who lived from the heart right up until the time they left this world behind. They knew how to live. I remember one woman who was dying of cancer and could not eat. She was fed intravenously yet every night at dinnertime when the trays were being passed out, she would tell us what she was having for dinner, in her imagination. She covered all the details such as filet mignon, lobster dripping with butter, or fresh sautéed veggies. Then she would order her imaginary dessert. You could always count on her to see it in her mind's eye and know that it gave her pleasure. She held onto life by reliving it all over again. She had heart. She also had the ability to see the small things in life and know their importance. She, as you and I should, knew the value of a single flower, with its colors and fragrance both so unique.
If we live from our hearts, life is never wasted. We may leave a few things or even people behind on this journey but that is their loss as we seek to find the heart in all things, creatures, and nature. What motivates you? Why do you keep going when it would be so simple to give up, apart from the bathroom thing?
We will always be surrounded by those who would seek to bring us down. Even Disney knows that. My six-year-old granddaughter and I make a game out of deciding who is the Cruella DeVille in each Disney movie we watch. There is always at least one of them…look for them. They bring conflict and action to a story but in real life they can be a royal pain in the poo poo. In real life we aren't allowed to pelt them with cream pies, throw them out of windows, or down elevator shafts. No matter how badly we would like to. But we are allowed to imagine.
On a daily basis it can be difficult to strive to live from the heart. In my life it's the old golf story all over again. I know I've shared it with you a few years back but I'll do it again for all you newbies out there.
It seems four friends were going to play golf. They were all avid fans and wouldn't miss their weekly game for anything. They met at the course and began to play. They had just begun to play when one of the guys, Harry, fell to the ground. They checked on him, and since one of them was a doctor he worked on Harry for a few minutes and then said, "Harry's dead." Without hesitation the other three went back to their golf game. After all, they had just started. For the rest of the day, that's how they played. Hit the ball, drag Harry. Hit the ball, drag Harry.
Most days I feel like Harry but as long as I have motivation which comes from my heart, I will let life drag me on. In the end we will all lose this existence, but in the meantime, play the game and do it with all your heart. To make it even harder, it must be a joyful heart, not a resentful one. Now, that's a goal to work toward.

Why do I get a slump in mental energy after eating a meal? —Pranati Kapadia, via e-mail
How long does it take for your brain to realize you have started to wear a hearing aid?
—Eugene Rice, via e-mail
Kelly Tremblay, associate professor of speech and hearing sciences at the University of Washington, responds:
THE ANSWER is "instantly." The brain is able to detect amplified sounds immediately after the insertion of a hearing aid, as long as the damage is not too significant.
Normally when sound enters the ear, acoustic information is relayed from the ear to the brain via nerve cells, called neurons. As the sound gets louder, more neurons fire simultaneously, which in turn allows the brain to detect the change in volume.
A hearing aid acts as a microphone, magnifying sounds that enter the ear. Hearing aids are mostly used in people who suffer from hearing loss because of damage to hair cells, the small sensory cells in the inner ear. Healthy hair cells can detect the magnified sounds from a hearing aid and convert them into neural signals. But the greater the damage to a person's hair cells, the more severe the hearing loss and the more the hearing aid will need to make up the difference.
Hearing aids are able to help millions of people decipher sounds they could not access before, but these devices do not help everyone to the same degree. That is because although hearing aids make sounds louder, they do not repair or compensate for the damage that has taken place in the ear and the brain. As a result, hearing aids help the signals reach the brain, but the brain may not be able to process the signals, making the hearing aid less effective.

Two British Muslim fanatics have been found guilty of the murder of soldier Lee Rigby.
Converts Michael Adebolajo, 29, and Michael Adebowale, 22, were convicted at the Old Bailey after running Fusilier Rigby down in a car and then hacking him to death with a meat cleaver and knives in front of horrified onlookers.
They lay in wait near Woolwich Barracks in south east London on May 22 and picked the 25-year-old to kill after assuming he was a soldier because he was wearing a Help for Heroes hooded top and carrying a camouflage rucksack.
Within just three minutes of hitting him at 30-40mph in their Vauxhall Tigra, they had butchered the young father and were dragging his body into the middle of the road. Neither Adebolajo nor Adebowale had been able to offer any real defence for the barbaric attack during their trial, which was beset by legal delays.
The jury took little more than an hour to convict them of murder.

When his electricity meter runs backward, it's zero energy day at David Springer's house.
Oct. 2When his electricity meter runs backward, it's zero energy day at David Springer's house.
On those days, Springer's elegant solar home in Winters produces more power than it uses, giving him independence from the power grid and freedom from an electricity bill.
"And it makes for a very comfortable home," Springer said.
In addition to photovoltaic panels on his roof, Springer's home contains many high-tech and low-tech energy-saving devices. Some are as simple as awnings over his windows. Others include new technologies that draw cool breezes into the home during summer nights or that circulate cool water beneath his tile floors.
Today, Springer's home is one of thousands in the nation that will be opened to the public as part of the National Solar Tour Day, sponsored by the American Solar Energy Society. Yolo County, which will feature 12 homes, is the only county in the Sacramento region participating in this year's event, although some Sacramento County homes have been featured in the past. Nine other counties in Northern California also will open 90 homes for the tours.
Springer said he agreed to open his home to make a point. "I'd like to share with other people that (solar power is) possible and that it's a heck of a better alternative than building power plants," he said.
Springer is a co-founder of Davis Energy Group, a consulting firm that specializes in zero-energy homes.
In Yolo County, more than 220 solar electric systems or photovoltaic systems operate in homes and businesses, according to data from the California Energy Commission. About 200 of those systems are installed in Davis homes.
All told, PV systems in Yolo produce roughly 1.4 million kilowatt hours of energy a year. It is estimated that a typical California family of four consumes 534 kilowatts in an average month.
Organizers of today's tour say they want the public to know that harnessing the sun's power is possible, affordable and in some cases quite simple. Smart insulation or securing of the "thermal envelope" of a home also can dramatically save energy.
"It also benefits society in general," said Julie Haney, an architect who specializes in solar power and energy-efficient construction. "It's cleaner and puts less demand on the (power) grid."
Haney designed Springer's home, starting from the simple solar-friendly concept of orienting the home for southern exposure to the sun. The sun-baked windows also are covered with awnings to block the exposure when needed.
Liz Merry, an organizer of the Yolo tour, said she and other advocates of green energy such as solar power hope to get the word out to builders in the region that orienting neighborhood streets on east-to-west configurations allows homes to be oriented north to south, which provides homes more southern sun exposure.
"We want consumers to start requesting south-facing homes," Merry said.
Other energy-saving features in Springer's home include added insulation in the walls along with tile floors and granite countertops that contribute to thermal mass.
Springer developed the sophisticated "NightBreeze" summer cooling system. The system ventilates the house at night with outdoor air, which cools off the thermal mass in the home, thereby keeping it cooler during the next day. If the house does not cool to 72 degrees Fahrenheit by 4 a.m., an air conditioner will chill water that runs through the floor and shuts off by 8 a.m. The floor stores the cooled water, keeping the house comfortable during the day.
Springer estimates he spent about $20,000 on the home's energy-saving upgrades. He also received some rebates and tax breaks for the systems.
The energy bills on his 2,400-square-foot home this summer were about $4.50 a month, down from about $125 for the previous summer bills before the new energy systems were installed.
For more information People wishing to participate in today's Yolo County's solar tour must collect maps and pay a fee at the Davis Farmer's Market before noon at Third and B streets in Davis. The tours run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cost for the tour is $15 for a carload of up to five participants. For more information, visit www.norcalsolar.org.

text: I've just picked up a 2008 535i with about 32k mi's on the odo and am concerned that with all the complaints about the High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) , that my car will NOT be reliable. When I asked the dealership about this, they assured me that BMW has resolved this issue and that my 535i should run withou issue. The salesperson who I dealt with said that she would look into this concern and whether or not my car has the latest upgraded HPFP installed or not. So instead of being glad about my new Bimmer, I'm very concerned about whether or not this car will be reliable - especially when it comes to this pump. From some of the other forums I've read about this issue, the recommendation is that I only use high quality gasoline from national brand such as Shell or Sunoco. I also take it that I must use 91 Octane gas minimum for this car. Should I be concerned? I have the remainder of the 4yr/40k full coverage warranty left and will probably purchase an extended warranty when the time comes. I would appreciate any advice on this issue. Thanks, Keith R.
