Real Ginger
Posted by Reviewer1139510 on May 07, 2009
Real ginger smell, seems like it was just grated and put in a capsule. Much better quality than other brands out there.
For aging joints
Posted by Reviewer1587798 on Nov 06, 2009
The 3 G's: garlic, ginger, ginkgo. Although I often eat Chinese food with ginger, I take one of these everyday. Organic and vegetarian.
Great for stomach issues
Posted by Reviewer1336371 on Feb 18, 2010
My husband suffers from stomach issues and an ulcer. He tried this as an alternative and he says he has never felt better. We love all products made by Eclectic Institute.
Posted by Reviewer2798027 on Sep 29, 2010
Works wonderfully for inflammation in my lower back. I take with turmeric and cayenne, also from EI.
Posted by Reviewer1788788 on Feb 26, 2010
Very good for colds & viruses. I usually get sick every Feb. and this was no different, but instead of lasting 5-6 weeks, it was only a little over a week. Take one cap. daily for preventive measures.
Posted by Reviewer3086463 on Aug 17, 2009
Definitely a winner. Smells very fresh.
Freeze dried makes a difference
Posted by Reviewer2882806 on May 14, 2009
This is an excellent ginger for feeling better all around especially for digestion, pain, and nausea. Also great for liver support. The taste, color and smell is a lot different than non fresh freeze dried. Great before morning coffee, with meals and between meals. Iherb helps to make it affordable.
Best ginger-in-a-pill available
Posted by Reviewer2940089 on Sep 26, 2008
This the next best thing to fresh ginger. Being able to get a bit of ginger anytime with any meal is very handy.
the perfect ginger supplement
Posted by Reviewer2545185 on Oct 23, 2008
I've been taking these ginger supplements for months now. This brand is the absolute best. Perfect to calm your stomach and provide overall digestive well-being, and not so potent that you need to eat a large meal (or risk a burning feeling)like other brands. good stuff!

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Myron Lee from the Utah Department of Transportation Region Four. He said, "There is a real need to educate the public in the process we go through to determine what priority projects are statewide. We have what is called the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program which we call STIP. Projects are prioritized and will move into this STIP process.
"Right now we have 30 different pockets of money from which a project could be funded. We have bridge replacement funds, passing lane funds, capacity money and many other avenues for funding. Capacity money is used when a road is being changed from two lanes to four. This is different than adding a passing lane. Passing lanes are used to add safety to a road. Capacity lanes are used to handle more traffic volume. There are also enhancement funds which were recently used to complete the Price Main Street project. The current project on SR-10 is using both bridge and passing lane funds.
"Some federal funds come with an 80-20 split. They would provide 80 percent of the funding and we would come up with the other 20 percent for a project. Currently at the Huntington Airport a project is underway which is being funded with the airport funding. There is also a fund for rest areas.
"In Region Four we have 14 counties which are divided into three districts. The counties are Emery, Carbon, Grand and San Juan which make up the Price District. Sanpete, Piute, Wayne, Garfield, Kane and Sevier make up the Richfield District. Millard, Beaver, Iron and Washington make up the Cedar District. These 14 counties have a combined needs list. This list is an unfunded needs list of projects they would like to see in their area.
"The process begins with local public meetings for local input. Meetings are held annually throughout the state with at least two meetings in each region. Topics discussed include the state highway system, bicycle and pedestrian paths, local road system, statewide long range transportation plan and review of the STIP.
"These public workshops give the people a chance to express what is important to them. We also have workshops with the forest service and Bureau of Land Management to discuss projects on their lands. We meet with local governments with mayors and county commissions to determine their priorities. We take input and come up with a list; we also have staff recommendations. There is also input from the transportation commission in the process.
"In San Juan County we had public meetings to discuss the Devil's Canyon road we wanted to fix it and had a few alternatives. At the open house we had some valuable input from someone in the audience. They suggested using fill and building up the road bed instead of one of the alternatives which suggested moving the road to the right or the left. This type of input from the public is invaluable. A project will then, with concept development move from the needs list into the STIP process. Through concept development a price tag is attached to the project. In the first two years of the project the dollar values are looked at a lot. A project can stay on the STIP list for two years to indefinitely until the project moves into a funded year. Currently we are working on the funded year 2005. Once it moves into a funded year then the designing of the project will start.
"Our fiscal year begins on July 1 each year and we are currently working on the projects that were funded for 2003. Projects must be designed and the bids advertised by June 30 of each year.
"The rehabilitation of the Green River bridge has been advertised and awarded. It will begin after the current tourist season winds down. One of the dilemmas we have is that people are always worried about what's happening now and we need to pull them into the process to think ahead down the road five to seven years.
"Currently the Huntington to Poison Springs Bench project is in the funded year for 2003. This does not mean the project will begin this year. The project is in the design phase. We are working on projects as fast as possible. It does mean that the money for that project has been obligated for that project and will not be used anywhere else. There is a bit of confusion about how the monies are divided. Someone always asks why money for a certain project can't be moved to a different project which they feel is of a higher priority. But, that's just not how things are set up. Bridge money has to stay for bridges, passing lane money must stay in the passing lane fund and so on. It's a difficult concept for people to understand.
"We have to figure out how every dollar for a project will be spent. The STIP plan is a five year plan. Our money is fairly stable from year to year and we can pretty well predict how much money we will have down the road five-six years. Most of the UDOT money comes from the gas tax which is a user tax. This is a fair tax which distributes the taxes among those who are actually using the roads and freeways.
"Some projects will move very quickly. One local project, the east Price to Wellington project is a Centennial Highway project funded with those funds. These Centennial funds are earmarked for a certain type of project. In the Price to Wellington Project if any money is left over it can be used farther down the road to Green River because the project was labeled a SR-6 project. But, the money must be used for that particular project and cannot be transferred elsewhere.
"It is very important to coordinate projects so that for instance bridge replacement and passing lanes or widening of a road happen all at the same The Utah Department of Transportation has appointed engineer Mike Miles as Project Manager over the U.S. Highway 6 corridor from Spanish Fork to Green River to better coordinate projects and aid communications on this important route.
He is now charged with keeping U.S. 6 road projects on schedule, under budget, and within a defined scope. His first priorities will be to assist UDOT in defining a vision for the future of U.S. 6 and to bring $73 million of "already-programmed" projects to fruition over the next five to seven years.
The new position spans two UDOT Regions and is designed to knit the previously segmented U.S. 6 corridor together under Miles' leadership.
"We are confident Mike can rise to meet the challenge of this new position and that his skills and experience are equal to the task," said Dal Hawks, director of UDOT Region Four.
Miles is a seven-year veteran of UDOT and has served as a project manager over UDOT's "Helper Interchange" and "Price to Wellington widening" projects. He came to UDOT with a degree in engineering geology from Brigham Young University and extensive experience as a private sector engineer.
Some of the current U.S. 6 projects include:
� Helper Interchange - $13 million
� Price to Wellington widening to five lanes - $3.2 million
� Passing lanes at Sunnyside Junction - $1.1 million.
� Icelander to Woodside lane leveling and overlay - $2 million
U.S. 6 projects on the 5-year Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan include:
� Bridge replacement at mile post 190 - $2.5 million
� Road safety improvements form Spanish Fork to Price - $4.6 million
� Asphalt Pavement Reconstruction at Red Narrows - $5 million
� Tucker Rest Area modifications - $1.5 million
� Add passing lanes at various locations between Soldier Summit to Helper - $12 million
� Widen to four lanes from Scofield Junction to Pine Tree Park - $13.1 million
� Bridge rehabilitation at Mile Post 288 (Green River) - $750,000
� Widen and add passing lanes at various locations from Soldier Summit to Helper - $13 million

Germantown - Leaders of prominent organizations from Washington County sat around a table last week not looking for recognition or gain. Rather, they were looking at ways to help each other so they can better help those in need.
The round-table meeting was for the Germantown Civic Group - started by Germantown Police Chief Peter Hoell as a way for nonprofit organizations to collaborate to help their causes and, subsequently, the people of Washington County.
Any local nonprofit organization is encouraged to contact Hoell at email@example.com to learn more about the Civic Group and how they can help find volunteers, spread information or simply be pointed in the right direction.
It was a productive meeting as organizations such as Kiwanis, Leadership Germantown and the Germantown Historical Society shared their plans and greatest needs for the upcoming year. Kiwanis, for example, is preparing to kickoff a massive fundraising campaign to build a $400,000 performing arts facility in Fireman's Park.
They are hoping to partner with others for the project that would ultimately offer a venue for nonprofit organizations to host their own fundraisers.
The Germantown Historical Society is planning a Fur Trade rendezvous May 31 and June 2, filled with re-enactors and family-friendly activities to engage the community.
The Council on Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse, or AODA, in Washington County is hosting a slew of events throughout the county, including the Germantown Lock-In May 10. They are also hosting a presentation March 13 at Germantown High School on drug prevention, said Anita Hilleman of AODA.
Our Kids Closet, which serves families in Washington, Waukesha and Ozaukee counties, is in great need of clothing donations. Family visits per month increased from 24 families per month to 32 families per month, making the need for children's clothing that much greater.
Co-Director of Our Kids Closet Dyanne Van Hecke, located next to Columbia St. Mary's Clinic in Germantown, said they are hoping various organizations will partner with them and hold clothing drives.
JK Lee Black Belt Academy in Germantown may not be a nonprofit business; however, they are a great resource for organizations looking for volunteers.
As part of the requirements for karate students to receive belts, they have to complete a number of volunteer service hours.
'On behalf of our membership, I ask you to continue to forward those opportunities so we can continue to pass those on,' Robin Kubicek from Lee Black Belt Academy said.
The Volunteer Center of Washington County is hoping it can begin to benefit Germantown organizations. Groups typically have to pay membership fees to the Volunteer Center that help nonprofits with things such as marketing, organizing and finding volunteers. New Executive Director Sue Millin said they are trying to create a grant for organizations that would waive the fees so those services can be utilized without cost to the organization.
'We would really like to be working more in Germantown,' she said. 'As of right now we don't have a lot of partners so let's start today and how the Volunteer Center can help in Germantown.'
The Volunteer Center is also working with the Germantown Police Department on emergency preparedness. In the case of an emergency, the center will screen volunteers, have safety training and assign them appropriately. In emergencies, an influx of volunteers can become an unnecessary burden, as emergency services personnel have their hands full and cannot always assign volunteers appropriately and also want to keep them safe.
This is where the Volunteer Center will step in, set up an incident command center and filter the volunteers.
'The emergency services doesn't have to worry about that and we can have volunteers dealing with volunteers and I think that will be a huge asset to have,' Hoell said.
These collaborations are one of the many benefits of the Germantown Civic Group.

She's a total baller, isn't she?
Check out H7 with her dad at a park in New York yesterday. She wore a pink dress over docs. Baby docs crack me up. Especially the kind of babies who wear baby docs, pretty much exclusively NOT the children of punk rockers.
Sorry. I'm just a c-nt because I'm sick.
Let's feel better with these photos of H7, who is the best, swinging, drinking from a grown-up bottle, watching her dad maybe flirt with Molly Sims.

Comments: I bought a pair of the Kailua Trail Tarmac and absolutely love them! Unfortunately, I recently purchased a pair of Kailua Tarmac (road) shoe and I'm going to have to exchange them. I wore them around the house to see if they felt the same as my trail shoe. Well they didn't they ride a tad higher on my ankle causing excessive rubbing. Going to stick with Hoka but going to give the Bondi a try. Hope they work for me!!!
From: MAP, Donna, TX, USA. July 20th 2014
Comments: I love the feel of these shoes when running but the toe box is not wide enough. I keep getting blisters. If the toe box was wider I could give them a very positive review. Unfortunately I will be returning these shoes. I can't deal with the blisters.
From: K, Maine, USA. May 31st 2014
Comments: So very impressed with these shoes! After experiencing calf discomfort I decided to give them a try. (Newtons have been my go to shoes for years). I walked in them...then tried them for 2 miles. A few days later I decided to wear them for a half marathon. SHOCKED at how little my calves hurt the next day. I'm telling everyone I know about Hoka One One (in fact my sister just ordered a pair from RW yesterday).
From: Jill, Katy, TX. 2/19/14
Comments: Sadly I'm going to have to return these shoes. The heel is looser than the Bondi B and rides up higher on my ankle causing rubbing. And I'm also having trouble with rubbing on the top of my big toe.

London Wasps picked up a crucial Aviva Premiership win after seeing off Leicester Tigers 14-12 at Adams Park on Sunday.
Leicester Tigers missed out on the chance to go top of the Aviva Premiership as they lost by 14-12 to London Wasps at Adams Park.
Missing several internationals because of Autumn international duty, the Tigers were able to bring back Matthew Tait, the full-back returning to their starting line-up for the first time in 13 months.
Anthony Allen returned at centre, with Tomas Waldron in the back row, after their England duty, while Wasps had flanker Jonathan Poff returning from injury. The first try came after only three minutes.
Tom Varndell was the beneficiary of Elliot Daly's pass, and as the spare man on the wing, was able to touch down, referee Sean Davey awarding the try after reference to his TMO.
Nick Robinson missed the conversion attempt.
Christian Wade almost doubled the try count only two minutes later, weaving his way through the Tigers' defence, but was pulled back by Niall Morris just before the line.
Robinson kicked a goal from the 22 line after a penalty in the subsequent ruck, before George Ford replied, to get Leicester off the mark on ten minutes.
Daly missed a chance to add to Wasps' score, with a penalty from well into his own half, but although he had the legs, his kick was wide of the mark.
Robinson fared no better only minutes later, as he hit the post with another long distance penalty, after great scrummaging from his pack. Phil Swainston, earning his first Premiership start for Wasps, was particularly impressive at tighthead.
Ford added his second penalty with six minutes of the half to play, but missed the chance to take the lead with another kick, as Wasps indiscipline in the tackle led to Leicester earning penalties in dangerous positions.
The Tigers were ahead three minutes after the break, as Ford kicked his third penalty, for a 9-6 lead.
A second Varndell touch down was denied, as the TMO ruled the final pass by Hugo Southwell as forward.
Lee Thomas, on at half-time for Chris Bell, restored Wasps' lead with a penalty on 51 minutes, before adding his second on 58. Ford pegged back three points as the game entered the final quarter, with Wasps still two points ahead.
Ford missed another attempt from distance with eight minutes to play, after Billy Vunipola had gone in at the side, penalised for the third time in the game.
Thomas' penalty from the left was wide on 75, as the home tried to stretch the lead out of Leicester's reach, before a period of kick tennis led to a late Tigers charge.
But despite taking the ball through the phases, they couldn't make that late possession count, and Wasps kept up their great home record against the Tigers, and also retained their 100 percent home record for the season.

About Cham
Cham, also known as Baby Cham, has become one of the more successful and critically acclaimed dancehall artists throughout the Caribbean -- a stunning feat given that he started up his career only in his teens. With a liking to laying vocals over riddims of relatively lower bpm's, he focuses on lyricism, but he has not shied away from making crossover hits. Teamed up with dancehall virtuoso and hit producer Dave "The Stranger" Kelly, Cham became the premier artist on Kelly's Madhouse record label as he began penetrating the U.S. market in the early 2000s.
Dameon Beckett was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, growing up in the Marverly and Waterhouse communities. His interest in music was fostered by his uncle, who owned sound equipment in a studio where accomplished dancehall DJs like Super Cat recorded songs. His ambitions were coming to fruition around 1993 when he first met Kelly, but the producer refused to work with him on a serious, ongoing basis until he finished school. Spragga Benz, on the other hand, worked with the teenager and was key in lifting Cham's career off the ground. They recorded the duet "Cocomania" in 1994, prompting Benz to secure Cham's first radio airplay at the age of 16.
After finishing up school, Cham proceeded to turn many heads in the dancehall scene from the mid- to late '90s with a slew of Kelly-produced, hit singles including "Many Many," "Man & Man," and the controversial "Boom," a song about oral sex that the Jamaican government banned from being performed live. Kelly and Cham compiled the 2000 double-disc album Wow... The Story, which contained many of his successful singles plus some additional new material. With time and effort, Cham pushed into the U.S. arena, dropping the sexually tinged crossover hit "Vitamin S" in 2003. Consequently, it led to his signing a distribution deal with Atlantic Records and the single's re-release in 2004. Nearing the threshold of achieving Sean Paul-like exposure, in mid-August 2006 Atlantic released his major debut, Ghetto Story, featuring popular guest vocalists such as Alicia Keys and Akon. ~ Cyril Cordor, Rovi

On Saturday, the Emery County Sheriff's Office and Utah Highway Patrol troopers were involved in a stand off with a male subject. A 911 call came into Grand County dispatch from a male subject who advised he was distraught and wanted to be involved in a shoot out with local police. He was a truck driver from Texas and passing through the area.
His location was westbound on I-70 at milepost 143 near the Black Dragon rest area. The UHP responded and a trooper located the semi-truck. He called for assistance and waited for backup before moving into the rest area to check on the truck.
When backup arrived and the truck was searched the subject was found not to be with the vehicle. The officers began fanning out and searching the area for the subject. The man was located down off a ledge and hiding behind rocks. The officers didn't approach the man as they believed him to be armed and possibly dangerous.
The officers began talking to the subject and urging him to come out and give himself up. This standoff lasted more than an hour as the officers attempted to talk him out.
The subject refused to give himself up at that time. The Sheriff's Emergency Response Team was called out and responded to the scene. The subject moved further down the canyon towards a ledge and told the officers if they approached any closer that he would jump off the ledge.
Shortly after this the subject took off through the bottom of the canyon and tried to climb up the other side. The officers ordered the subject to come down down and he complied. The Green River ambulance was on site and the subject was evaluated by the medical team. After the subject was cleared by the EMTs, he was transported to Castleview Hospital where he underwent a mental evaluation.
From that point he was transported by the Emery County Sheriff's Office to the state hospital in Provo. The subject was listed as Michael A. Lynch, 55, from Texas. The troopers were also in contact with family members of the subject during the standoff. It is not known if the subject had prior mental issues.
The refrigerated truck was towed back into Green River where the truck owners will reclaim the truck. The man didn't have any weapons that were found and he wasn't suffering from any physical injuries. There were a number of troopers who happened to be in the area involved in another activity at the time of the call, so the response to this incident was prompt and approximately nine troopers were involved as well as Deputy Doug Downard and Sgt. Jeff Thomas from the Emery County Sheriff's Office.

Skip to comments.Sessions: 57 million New People to Enter America, Compete for Jobs
Posted on 05/03/2013 5:39:22 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions estimates about 57 million new people, immigrants and people with nonimmigrant visas, will be entering the United States to compete with middle class Americans for their jobs if the Gang of Eight immigration bill passes. Sessions staff released an analysis detailing how they reached that number on Friday morning.
This is a number that exceeds the population of the state of California, our largest state, Sessions said on a conference call with reporters discussing the analysis. Its a very, very significant impact on our economy and the American people.
Sessions argued that ordinary Americans, who are already struggling financially under President Barack Obamas administration with perpetually high unemployment, will see pay cuts or be unable to find jobs. He said any gains the economy gets from this bill, as estimated by Gang of Eight members and supporters, are actually paid for by a decline in wages, by wage loss for ordinary Americans.....
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
What jobs?
This is a huge boon for large corps and such. Not so much for wages for legals and citizens.
IMHO, it would peak out far under that simply due to any opportunity being so diluted it won't be worth the immigration. We are already seeing a slow down as construction and other immigrant (illegal and legal) heavy jobs are down.
Almost too easy for the 'Progressives' to implement a 'Cloward-Piven' strategy to overwhelm the system to the point of collapse, isn't it?
The folks want a lower standard of living sans rule of law and due process.
I'm willing to work for food, but that probably prices me out of the marketplace.
If this passes there will be a 2nd American Revolution...
There are jobs down here. Wish I was healthy enough for one. There's an Aldi Supermarket near us ready to open but they can't find enough people. They pay $11 to $21 dollars an hour.
Sounds awesome.
They should be hired by those companies looking for any race but white type hires.
The only thing this government is interested in is itself.
It does not serve any function to better this society at all, it is a menace.
and also FUMarcoRubio, putz.
Well, that 168,000 new jobs the BLS cooked up today looks mighty paltry compared to these numbers by Sen. Sessions.
Of course, many of that 57,000,000 won't be looking for jobs. They'll be looking for the welfare offices in every county across the fruited plain. Guess the feds will have to print millions more SNAP ads so everyone can start getting fat in America.
If the clueless GOP goes along with McCain/Rubio's amnesty, they will be committing political suicide. No one will forgive them for this fiasco.
Before the first Mexican is granted amnesty Mexico should be forced into a treaty that grants all U.S. citizens dual U.S./Mexican citizenship with full rights in Mexico to vote, own property, develop real estate and build businesses.
What jobs? What Americans? America is no more.
Mass immigration and conversion of the US into a third world plantation is a NWO objective, has been for decades. This objective is shared by players in both parties. Nobody will admit it.
That's also a good argument from the point of view of our business leaders, who have so nicely and publicly informed us Americans so many times that we're too lazy, stupid and generally useless for manufacturing on our own soil.
And Mexican foodstamps for gringos.
Given a 7.5% unemployment rate it is crazy to allow that many immigrants - legal or illegal - into this country
Ay, chihuahua!
Congress needs to halt ALL new immigration until the unemployment rate reaches 5%.
The job of our government should be to protect the rights of citizens and to ensure we have the highest quality of life possible consistent with the constitution.
We should not be accepting the riff-raff of Mexico, Africa, the mid-east and other cess-pits by the millions just because they want to come here.
It is time for our government to go back to putting the well being of citizens above non-citizens.
It is not the responsibility of hard working Americans citizens to provide shelter, food, medical care and educations for the all the world's hungry and poor.
It might make politicians feel good about themselves but it saps the strength and treasure of the nation.
If prospective immigrants do not offer something of value to the country we don't need them.
Will the illegals comprise Hussein's civilian army?
"We are already seeing a slow down as construction and other immigrant (illegal and legal) heavy jobs are down."
So who told you illegal immigration is down? The Obama Administration? Don't believe it.
Eff the free traders.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?
Plenty here won't admit it either. I 2nd F-the free traitors.
Most everyone in positions of influence for conservatives is in on it at some level. Denial won't be an option in the near future.
This may well entail dragging some people kicking and screaming to Mexico. As I've noted below, if we can turn Mexicans into Americans with a law we can just as easily turn illegal aliens into Mexicans with another law.
Bet Mexico would be building a wall themselves if they knew who was coming to dinner.
There coming for your jobs America and it won't just always be low income jobs.
Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
#33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
Congress needs to halt ALL new immigration until the unemployment rate reaches 5%."
With Obama administration's manipulation of the numbers that should happen in about two months.
Do ya really think so? I think Americans still have too much to lose.
I dunno. These Senators are traitors, absolute traitors.
The Gang of 8holes.
>>The folks
It's a special relationship. Nudge Nudge Wink Wink.
"We already got a grail - now get off our lawn."
That would be true if this was a free market. But when they get free education, food, healthcare, etc. whether they work or not they will come.
We will not give it up without a fight!

Erik Bostrom had to decide in a split second whether to shoot the suspects. He hesitated.
"I got shot both times," he said.
The scenario wasn't real — it was a simulation offered through the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and part of a Leadership Douglas County class. It gave Bostrom a new layer of respect for law enforcement.
"What's really shocking about it is how attuned you need to be to the development of the situation, and the need to react," he said. "It's very difficult."
Bostrom was among 18 Douglas County residents who went through the nearly yearlong leadership class in 2011-12. The owner of Highlands Ranch's Hand and Stone Massage Spa and a delegate with the Highlands Ranch Community Association, Bostrom wanted to learn more about the area.
"If you'd like to improve yourself or know more about your community, it's well worth your time," he said.
Douglas County, like all counties, is a web of interconnected municipalities, agencies, businesses and individuals. Leadership Douglas County helps its students untangle that web, and see the connections.
"I can't tell you how many times I've heard a class participant say after the program, 'I used to be a resident of Castle Rock. Now, I'm a resident of Douglas County,'" said Melissa Moroni, vice president of programs for the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. "They see there are so many entities that collaborate that affect all of us."
The Castle Rock Chamber established the program in 1999. The $495 fee includes monthly, daylong classes that begin September and end in June. The program offers its students hands-on education about Douglas County's resources and helps develop leadership skills in both classroom and field trip sessions.
During the law enforcement session, students participated in the video simulator Bostrom described, among other things. In exploring emergency services, they donned firefighter bunker gear and held a charged fire hose as part of an exercise. During trust-building sessions, they climbed a rock wall. In the classroom, topics run the gamut from hydraulic fracturing to Colorado history.
"The goal is to identify, educate and motivate current and emerging leaders," Moroni said. "People apply for different reasons. For some people, there's a personal growth aspect. There's a leadership growth aspect. Then there's a connection aspect."
That aspect clicked for City of Lone Tree spokeswoman Kristen Knoll.
"The biggest benefit to the program is the networking opportunities," she said. "I use my classmates as a resource professionally. You get to know people you wouldn't have a connection to otherwise."
Moroni said she's watched the program change lives, with students who changed careers, decided to study abroad and found renewed purpose.
While many students are employed with government entities, the program includes a cross-section of individuals. Bostrom believes it builds vital bridges.
"There's so much animosity in today's news and government organizations," he said. "The politics that goes on trickles all the way down to the county level. But when we're able to get together and have conversations, I think we find good solutions."
Leadership Douglas County asks participants for a two-year commitment. Students who graduate from the first year of the program are invited to serve on a steering committee that helps direct the next class.

Most recent performance
There are currently no scheduled performances of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It was last on stage 6 December 2014—16 January 2015 as part of the Autumn 2014/15 season.
The Story
At a garden party on a sunny afternoon, Alice is surprised to see her parents' friend Lewis Carroll transform into a white rabbit. When she follows him down a rabbit hole things get curiouser and curiouser.
Read more… (Contains spoilers)
Christopher Wheeldon's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland arrived on the stage in 2011 with a burst of colour, theatrical magic and inventive choreography. It was The Royal Ballet's first new full-length work since 1995 and was greeted with delight by audiences. Joby Talbot's score combines contemporary soundworlds with sweeping melodies that gesture to ballet scores of the 19th century. Bob Crowley's wildly imaginative sets and costumes draw on puppetry, projections and masks to make Wonderland wonderfully real.
Alice encounters a cast of extraordinary characters, from the highly-strung Queen of Hearts, who performs a hilarious send-up of The Sleeping Beauty's famous Rose Adage, to dancing playing cards, a sinuous caterpillar and a tap-dancing Mad Hatter. Alice and the Knave of Hearts dance a tender, loving pas de deux of delicate beauty. But the ballet does not avoid the darker undercurrents of Lewis Carroll's story – a nightmarish kitchen, an eerily disembodied Cheshire Cat and the unhinged tea party are all created in vivid detail.

1.) Choose your photo and drag it onto a New Document. In this example, I changed the photo to black and white, but you can use this technique for color photos as well.
2.) Right-click on your photo layer and choose Duplicate Layer. Then pull down the drop down box for the blending modes (should be defaulted to Normal) and choose Screen. (You will notice that your photo will now appear lighter and brighter.)
3.) Now duplicate your Screen layer and change that blending mode to Overlay. (Note: if nothing else, these 2 layers set at these blending modes will give most of your black & white photos and a lot of your color photos incredible depth and defintion as you can see below.)
4.) Now, click on your top photo layer and while holding down your shift key, click on your bottom photo layer to select all 3 of them. Then right click somewhere on one of the layers and choose Merge Layers. Once you have one layer, right click on it and again duplicate your layer. This time, change your blending mode to Hard Light.
5.) Last one... duplicate it one more time and change the blending mode to Screen. Now, in this case, this virtually eliminates the back ground and gives her a wonderfully contrasted and sharp appearance.
6.) Again, merge your photo layers together. (Be sure you merge only your photo layers together and not all of your layers. You will still need your "background" layer in order to edit your photo further.)
7.) Use your eraser tool to erase any remnants of the background. In this case, I will also make my image larger by choosing my Move Tool and grabbing one of the corners of the photo and while holding down my Shift key, dragging my mouse out to enlarge it. I will also move my image all the way over to the right until I like the positioning of it.
8.) Place your word art on your layout. (You can find my Fading Emotions Vol 2 word art by clicking HERE.
11.) Now, in order to get the text off of her (since this is not truly an extracted image), just choose your Eraser Tool and, making sure the layer with text is active, simply erase any text on her. (Note: The end result will have a much cleaner look and appear as if it's going behind her if you zoom in and even erase the little pieces of text on her hair and other small details on the photo... it sounds scary, but it's really not... it only took a couple of minutes!!!)
12.) Now choose your text tool and type your title at the top and that's it! You're done!!!! Again... here is our finished layout:

It's a good day for gold investors: The metal's price is up $33 and is back at $1,325 for the first time since mid-June. Silver is even stronger, rising 4.6%. Why? Theories range from stimulus views to the price of oil to … this magazine!
The gold ole' Fed: Bloomberg News' Nicholas Larkin and Glenys Sim tie to the move to "speculation the Federal Reservewill maintain stimulus."
The price of oil: Oil? Really? Yes, according to the same Bloomberg duo, who spin an argument about inflation: ""As oil prices rise, especially in the U.S., inflation, which hasn't been an issue and a reason gold is lower this year, may start to pick up," Lv Jie, an analyst at Cinda Futures Co., tells the newswire.
Institutional investors coming back: The more aggressive ones. "Heavy support for gold from the institutional buyers continues," RBC Capital's George Gero writes in a client email this morning. As he continues: "The signs of funds buying in gold were higher volume, higher open interest, higher moving averages, higher lease and lending in Europe resulting in backwardation of forwards, and now we have few sellers except mining hedges as we look to option expiration near end of the week."
Institutional investors (and others) coming back, part deux: At minimum, they're not so bearish anymore. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission's weekly data dump showed a rush for the exits by bears. As Dow Jones Newswires' Matt Day wrote on Friday: "Gold bears rushed for the exits this week in a big way. Money managers tracked by the CFTC culled their bets on lower gold futures and options prices by 24% in the week through Tuesday."

AHL Prospect Rankings: #16 – Guillaume Lefebvre
Jonathan Willis
January 29 2009 01:39PM
Guillaume Lefebvre, like many a rough-and-tumble player before him, was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers. He bounced around the QMJHL as a junior, playing for four different teams before being selected (as an overage player) by the Flyers in the seventh round of the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.
He didn't have much hype as a prospect; the most noteworthy incident of his junior career was a nine-game suspension he received for a hit that left Bruins' prospect Tuukka Makela with a third-degree concussion. Makela would only play nine games that season, and the following year he returned to Finland, where he's played ever since.
Though most of his career, Lefebvre's collected far more penalty minutes than points (at roughly a 5:1 clip), but he's never been a one-dimensional player in junior or the AHL. Early on, Lefebvre killed penalties for the Phantoms (Philadelphia's AHL affiliate), took a regular shift, and even chipped in some offence. He also saw spot duty in the NHL, playing seventeen games for the Flyers between 2001-03.
In March of 2003, Lefebvre was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes along with draft choices for Tony Amonte, who the Flyers wanted for a playoff run. Phoenix quickly flipped Lefebvre to Pittsburgh, where he played 21 NHL games over parts of three seasons. He also had his most successful AHL season, recording 35 points, 113 PIM and a +12 rating in only 66 games.
Lefebvre turned 25 in the off-season, and headed back to Quebec for "personal reasons"; he ended up spending two seasons with the St. Jean Chiefs of the Ligue Nord-Americaine de Hockey (LNAH). The LNAH is probably the roughest hockey league in the world, and it has a reputation as a bit of a circus because of the on-ice antics. After two seasons there, the 27-year old Lefebvre accepted a tryout at this fall's Oilers training camp.
Lefebvre showed up to camp in top shape, but couldn't move past Steve MacIntyre for the enforcer's job. He ended up being released by the Oilers, but signed an AHL contract with Springfield. He has seven points and 145 PIM through 44 games with Springfield, and a whole bunch of fights. At this point, Lefebvre's only real shot at an NHL job seems to be fighting his way into one, and while a willing combatant with a bit of a kamikaze style, he's probably undersized for that kind of work and he doesn't add enough in other areas to compensate.
NHL Contract Status: N/A
AHL Performance Compares To: Zack Stortini (on-ice performance, not fighting style)
Career Projection: Tweener/Enforcer
January 29 2009, 04:26PM
Having scored 35pts in the AHL, does his stats this year represent misuse in Springfield? Springfield doesn't appear to be particularly deep. Or is it a case of ice time going to actual prospects and having his role limited for him?
January 29 2009, 04:29PM
I like these summaries. They will be of particular use now and during training camp when we all sit around saying "That Lefebvre sure is some kind of dynamo" or the like - in the event a prospect makes some noise.

I like them too, but JW does such a thorough job that they don't initiate much discussion. You can't really argue with it, because honestly how many of us have enough knowledge of Guillaume Lefebvre's playing style to call Jon out on a perceived error in judgement?
It's kind of like reading an article in National Geographic. It's informative, and at the end you just sit back and say, 'Well, that was interesting. I think I'm hungry now; where's the Doritos?' and that's that.
Don't stop sending them out, Jon; just 'cuz no one comments doesn't mean we don't all read them.
would you say he is like a David Clarkson, Jared Boll type player then?... he might help are weak and sissy little forwards on the third and forth when we run into injurys and such.

That's a strong point - it's obviously just my somewhat educated opinion, which is a loooonngg ways from infallible.
Don't stop sending them out, Jon; just 'cuz no one comments doesn't mean we don't all read them.
Thanks. I eventually want to have a snapshot of every prospect in the system, for general reference if nothing else.
January 29 2009, 09:14PM
@ B-Rad:
Except with a much lower ceiling than those two. The thing is, with both MacIntyre and Stortini ahead of Lefebvre, there probably isn't much room for him on the team even if they do run into injuries.
Still, he's a bruiser, and as we've seen with Steve MacIntyre (among others) it's difficult to count these guys out because that skillset's always in demand.
I like your work but can't agree that this fellow is a prospect, nevermind #16.
Petry, Chorney, Wild, Schremp, Eberle, Peckham, Vande Velde, Nash, DD, Plante, Trukno, Omark, Lerg, Bisaillon, Cornet, Kyntar are 17 guys ahead of him. This does not count Potulny, JFJ, Stone or Brule.
27 year old guys who are out of hockey, spend two seasons in the LNAH and had their last NHL cup of coffee in 2003 are not prospects.
He is AHL muscle, nothing more. Maybe he gets a few NHL games if the Hansen brothers visit, AND Steve M and Stortini are injured, AND there are no enforcers on the waiver wire, but this does not make him a "prospect".
Nevertheless, keep up the good work.
@ Ducey:
the title clearly states AHL prospects
Ah, I understand now.
January 31 2009, 10:04AM
@ Ducey:
I'm going to do a separate non-AHL prospect count, once I've finished meandering my way through the AHL team.
Also, with Ryan Stone in the fold, the numbers will be off a bit as I don't have him ranked (since I made my list before that trade).

In this article
Treatment After Sexual Assault or Rape
- If you have been sexually assaulted or raped, you should be examined and treated for sexually transmitted diseases. See a health care provider as soon as possible and get checked again at regular intervals to make sure that no sexually transmitted diseases have developed.
- Most women are given emergency contraception in the form of birth control pills that decrease the chance that pregnancy will result from the assault.
- You may be treated for hepatitis B infection if the assailant is likely to have had hepatitis (a series of shots over two months).
- You will be tested for HIV and pregnancy. HIV testing should be repeated every three to six months. If it has been six months and you have not had a positive HIV test, it is not likely that any infection occurred or will occur.
- You should get counseling, and the incident should be discussed. Sexual assault is a traumatic experience. The goal for all victims is to recover and put the bad event behind them.
Forms of Sexual Assault and Rape
Sexual assault is defined by law as forced or nonconsensual sexual contact. Victims (both men and women) of sexual assault can be compelled or forced to participate through fear, physical force, deception, other forms of coercion, or the use of intoxicants such as alcohol and drugs. Some forms of sexual assault do not require the use of force, but are still considered criminal. Sexual assault has taken place if sexual contact has happened that has not been consented to in a conscious and voluntary way.
Sexual assault can take many forms.
Forms of sexual assault with force
- Sexual assault can include any sexual activity, including:
- Contact or penetration of the vagina with the penis (intercourse, rape)
- Anal contact or penetration (sodomy)
- Oral contact of the male on the genitalia of the female
- Oral contact of the female on the genitalia of the male
- Hand to genitalia contact (masturbation, fondling, or penetration)
- Contact or penetration of the vagina with the penis (intercourse, rape)
- Contact between any body parts and the private parts of another can be construed as lewd and lascivious conduct or sexual battery (a legal term for any other ill-defined behavior that is intended to arouse sexual pleasure for the assailant). Lewd and lascivious conduct and sexual battery are very broad categories of sexual assault used by law enforcement when exactly what happened is not clear.
- Forced nudity, photography, and video of people in sexual poses against their wishes are also forms of sexual assault.

All appears to be calm and beautiful. The Oilers are performing beyond expectations, the Eskimos are fumbling their way to playing on the road in the playoffs and it's snowing somewhere else. What could possibly go wrong?
The Edmonton Oilers have enjoyed roster consistency through the season's first 10 games. I believe that's an underrated portion of this season so far; along with Smyth's heroic efforts on the tough minutes line, the goaltenders acting like it's the dead puck era, the defense playing beyond reasonable, the relative health of the group has been solid.
Things may be about to change. There's something in the air. Andy Sutton is flying to NYC to take in Broadway's newest hit (The Shanahan Eraserhead Hearings) and the Oilers are making sure Dan Petry's boy sees the world.
Into this rational world comes the following:
Okay, well THAT happened. Jason's logic makes sense, as the Oilers have 6 healthy bodies in Edmonton at the moment. Currently, the depth chart might look like this:
- Tom Gilbert (247 all purpose minutes this season)
- Ladislav Smid (202 all purpose minutes this season)
- Cam Barker (201 all purpose minutes this season)
- Corey Potter (168 all purpose minutes this season)
- Theo Peckham (86 all purpose minutes this season)
- Jeff Petry (62 all purpose minutes this season)
Ryan Whitney (66 minutes) is injured and Andy Sutton (163 minutes) has been suspended. So, Plante gets the call and if Jason is right will step right into the lineup (I don't know that he makes it here today, so the injured player may actually play tonight).
Plante would not have been my choice for recall, but what I don't know about playing NHL defense is a lot. In looking at the Oklahoma blue, it would seem to me that the consistent pairings have placed Plante outside the top pairings with either Johan Motin or the crazy Russian Kirill Tulupov. Now, I don't watch the games and have no idea about the matching going on, but running through the box scores Bryan Helmer, Bryan Lowery, Colten Teubert and Jeff Petry all appear to play more prominent roles than Plante, Motin and Tulupov.
Here are the current stats for the OKC Blue:
- Bryan Helmer 8, 0-6-6 +3
- Colten Teubert 8, 2-1-3 +2
- Kevin Montgomery 6, 0-3-3 +3
- Kirill Tulupov 3, 0-2-2 +3
- Johan Motin 6, 0-2-2 +1
- Jeff Petry 2, 0-1-1 +1
- Ryan Lowery 7, 0-1-1 E
- Alex Plante 8, 0-1-1 E
Only three of the defenders have played all 8 games, and Plante is one of them. Having said that, and understanding that both Helmer and Montgomery are OKC players, I would have thought Colten Teubert would have been the more likely choice, and I wonder if we see him, Lowery or Tulupov pass Plante on the depth chart this season.
Plante's mobility is a problem at the NHL level, and that's a lot of slow for a team that already has Sutton and Barker among the options.
It means the Oilers depth on the blue is razor thin, and that Teubert hasn't passed Alex Plante as a callup option. It also means that kids like Lowery and Tulupov are likely staying in the minors all year long no matter their boxcars or the number of nice things the coach says about them. Learning pro defense is a process.
When we hear rumors that Steve Tambellini is looking to add a defenseman at some point, this would be the reason. Peckham's uneven play, Whitney's injury history, Smid's tendency to impersonate Willie and Frankie adds to the pressue of the OKC blue.
The fact that Plante is the second callup option (after Petry) tells us this team needs more options.
Can't wait for the fist five game winning streak in almost 2 years. Is this team for real? If not, I am reveling in the fakeness. Go Oilers!!!!
Fist this. Gay boys.
October 30 2011, 12:08PM
We need this victory tonight as we are ready to go on a long road trip... hopefully Smyth can keep the kids grounded and the Oil picks up another 2 points. Hope Khabbi starts.
Plante? I can only guess that the thinking here is that with Sutton out and Plante in, the defense's foot-speed will not decrease much, overall.
Maybe a prospective trade partner wants to see Plante in some regular action?
But who are we to judge this team's defense? I mean, we were all expecting the worst before the season started, and to say the least, that hasn't happened.
As substitutions come and go it will be a test of the team, and a good indicator of if this early success is due to player performance or coaching. Can the Oilers really be 'Borg-like', and remain unflappable when players are out?
how about we try to trade for moore in columbus. i think howson might be desperate enough to make a move right now, omark for moore.
It is a decision year for the Oilers on Plante. It is not a decision year on Teubert.
The Oilers probably want to trade Plante. They probably don't want to trade Teubert. (Pump the guy you want to trade.)
Plante is less harmed by sitting in the press box than Teubert would be.
Plante knows it is his "last" shot. He will be motivated. He knows Teubert probably gets the call next time.
October 30 2011, 12:42PM
Some team wants to see Plante? Why? All they have to do is go to the lobby and check out the Coke machine. Mind you, the Coke machine MIGHT out manouvre him.
October 30 2011, 12:43PM
Fail. On so many levels.
October 30 2011, 12:46PM
BTW Lowetide.....The Shaggs. Awesome.
October 30 2011, 12:50PM
Weak-minded fail.
The best player in OKC isn't necessarily the one that gets called up. Some of these guys need to develop under a stable environment by playing long stretches in OKC. Playing them like a yo-yo between leagues could setback their development. Other guys are in OKC to be promoted and demoted at Renney's whim to fill in for injuries at the NHL level.
Without knowing all of the details of how the ELC rules apply, I am also assuming that management plans to call-up Teubert for only 9 NHL games this year.
Would this be a showcasing? I don't really get why else Plante would be getting called up.
Either way I hope Plante plays good. I believe this might be one of his last chances to impress.
I'm waiting for the Oilers to have a blow out game. I hope Magnus and Gagner get some points. I would like to see Jones get replaced by either Gagner or Magnus, I like Jones I just don't think reads the play with Horc and Smyth.
I doubt they change anything for now.
October 30 2011, 02:13PM
The way I see it.
Plante is a similar type player to Sutton. SO if Plante does get put in the line up they are not losing toughness. He may be slow but so is Sutton and if you use your big body well by using your stick and blocking shots foot speed isn't as big as an issue.
The Oil's minor injury to the mystery d-man isn't too serious and they are just bringing Plante up for back up as a 7th d to sit in the press box on this 6 game road trip. They are obviously not wanting to hurt Teubert's development by sitting him in the press box and have decided that Plante really isn't going to get much better. That and it is a smart move to have that extra d just incase an injury does come up and the Oil are rushing to call someone up.
Well I was shocked about the callup also, then thought about it.
Plante is most likely to eat popcorn for a couple weeks, why have Tuebert do that when he could be playing big minutes instead?
Looks like ole Henry had the Lumley loaf goin.
October 30 2011, 03:33PM
With Petry already called up, Plante appears to be the only other defenseman in OKC that has any experience with the team outside of pre-season. If he is just here as a bandaid until Sutton's suspension (however many game it may be) is over it would make some sense to bring up someone who wouldn't be as overwhelmed in the position.
All that being said, it still brings the problem of defensive depth to the forefront again.
October 31 2011, 01:55PM
remarkably unnecessary, uninteresting and even without entertainment value. thanks for being terrible.
October 31 2011, 02:05PM
been too busy to stay on target with the oil lately. trying to catch up.
LT, looks like Plante's stay was short-lived:
I wonder if they had that in mind (call up for one game only... if he was here to replace Sutton, he'd still be here, right?). And that makes the choice interesting. Maybe they called up Plante and not Teubert et al. because they didn't want to affect the development plans of the younger NHL tracked players? i.e., coming up and going down for one game I assume is pretty jarring on a player and they don't want to do that to one of their future regulars?...
just a thought

Shadia Abdu Rabo, Sudan National Museum
In November, clearing out a store in the expedition house at Amara West, we came across many fragments of traditional beds, or angareeb, made of wood, leather and rope. We have repaired some of these, to use in our lounge area, but also in some of the bedrooms.
These beds have a very long history in Sudan, going back to the ancient Kerma culture, where the dead were placed on low beds inside graves.
In the cemetery at Amara West, despite the actions of both robbers and termites, there is clear evidence that some of the burials featured similar beds. In some tombs, there is evidence for both beds of this type and Egyptian coffins, reflecting a mixture of different cultural traditions in the late second millennium BC.
But the form of the bed survived through historical, political and religious changes.
In a fifth century AD painting in the church at Faras, now in the Sudan National Museum, the Virgin Mary is shown upon a bed, while in the late nineteenth century, the wife of the ruling Mahdi owned a lavish example of an angareeb.
The beds follow people from birth to death: childbirth often takes place on such angareeb; circumcision rituals are performed; beds are used in Koranic khalwa-school, are adorned for wedding ceremonies, and are a feature of funeral processions.
The shape has not changed radically, and today one can visit craftsmen in the market to see the beams of acacia, mahogany or date palm being cut and joined (now with wire and metal nails), before the bed is strung – often with nylon string not rope.

Bruce Chen loves "Dutch Hockey Field Team"
Check out the hilarious video above as Royals lefty Bruce Chen talks about his love for what he calls the "Dutch Hockey Field Team." When asked about his favorite Olympic sports, the veteran pitcher says he is a fan of table tennis and badminton, but ladies on the Dutch field hockey team hold a special spot in his heart.
Chen is gets very animated when talking about The Netherlands, topped Argentina, 2-0, to capture their second straight Gold Medal. He says if he could participate in any Olympic sport, it would be field hockey. More specifically, with Dutch females. Sure Chen is from Panama, but who wouldn't be a fan of their hotness? Click here to check out our MugShots Gallery of the team.
Chen gave up four runs on four hits over 5.1 innings against the Orioles on Sunday as the Royals fell to Baltimore 5-3. Chen suffered the loss to drop his record to 8-10 on the year. He has a 5.56 ERA over 134.1 innings in 25 starts this season.

Treetop Walkway
About the Treetop Walkway
Opened on International Biodiversity Day 2008, the Treetop Walkway stands in the Arboretum, between the Temperate House and the lake. It was designed by Marks Barfield Architects, who also designed the London Eye. The 18-metre high, 200-metre walkway enables visitors to walk around the crowns of lime, sweet chestnut and oak trees. Supported by rusted steel columns that blend in with the natural environment, it provides opportunities for inspecting birds, insects, lichen and fungi at close quarters, as well as seeing blossom emerging and seed pods bursting open in spring. The walkway's structure is based on a Fibonacci numerical sequence, which is often present in nature's growth patterns.
At the entrance to the Treetop Walkway are sculptures carved from tree trunks illustrating microscopic elements of trees to explain how trees grow. Leaves, for example, have breathing pores shaped like lips and tubes called 'phloem' pump sap from leaves to fruits and roots. A path lined with examples of different timbers leads visitors below ground to the Rhizotron (an underground lab constructed to study the soil and its interactions with plants and animals). Inside, an installation explains the relationships that exist between tree roots, the soil and organisms such as nematodes, beetles, woodlice and bacteria. On the floor is a mosaic inspired by the mutually beneficial relationships that exist between many plant roots and fungi.
Access guide: Treetop Walkway
The Treetop Walkway is accessible to the public via a stairway consisting of 118 steps.The Treetop Walkway lift is in service and available for disabled and mobility-impaired visitors. Visitors are encouraged to use the stairs where possible ensuring the lift remains available to those that need it most. Children's pushchairs are not permitted on the walkway and children must be supervised at all times.
Access guide: Rhizotron
The Rhizotron is fully wheelchair-accessible. You enter via a path on a gentle downwards slope with handrail, on a smooth surface. The exit path is an identical upward slope.
Frequently asked questions

There are 118 steps from the lower ground level to the walkway.
Is there wheelchair access?
A lift is available for disabled and mobility-impaired visitors.
Does the walkway close for bad weather?

Is there a charge?
No, the walkway is free of charge.
Can I take a pushchair?
Children's pushchairs are not permitted on the walkway and children must be supervised at all times. Pushchairs and buggies can be left at ground level at the owner's risk.
Are there any height or age restrictions?
No, there are no restrictions; anybody can enjoy the walkway.
Are there any restrictions for pregnant women?
No, there are no restrictions for expectant mothers. They can make their own choice whether to go up but should be aware that there are 118 steps.
What are the dimensions of the Walkway
The Walkway is 18 metres high, 200 metres long and has 118 steps in ten sections with eight landings.
How high are the handrails?
The handrails on the landings are 1.3 metres high, and are topped with laminated sweet chestnut wood (Castanea sativa).
Does the Walkway move around as people walk on it?
The Treetop Walkway is designed to the highest safety standards and it would be physically impossible to get enough people onto it to exceed its load-bearing capacity. The structure is designed to flex slightly in the wind as this ensures it would not break at high wind speeds. It is inspected regularly and all components were thoroughly checked before being incorporated into the structure.
How do I call help in an emergency?
Emergency assistance is available at the help point intercom next to the lift entrances or by calling 020 8332 5121 on your mobile phone.
