NHIAA Girls' Soccer Preview
Only Exeter, in Division I, is a clear-cut favorite
Exeter remains the team to beat in Division I, but could the other three girls' NHIAA soccer divisions be up for grabs?
Exeter went undefeated (20-0) last season and has won four consecutive Division I state championships and seven out of the last eight.
In Division II, Milford edged Souhegan of Amherst for its first state title. The Division III championship went to Hopkinton and Littleton claimed its first plaque in D IV.
The girls' soccer schedule opens on Friday with 24 games.
Division I
So can Exeter really maintain this pace?
"With Exeter, they just keep coming and coming. It's like a machine that manufactures a ton of parts and they all look the same," said Central head coach Peter Lally. "If you're going to win a state championship, someone is going to have to beat them in order to do it."
Teams expected to press Exeter include last year's runner-up Bedford, Londonderry (a 2012 seminfinalist) and Pinkerton Academy of Derry.
As for Lally's Central team, the Little Green made the semifinals last year and lost to Exeter. Central lost 10 players to graduation but is not a team you should count out.
"We made it to the semifinals last year and we hadn't been past the quarterfinals for the two years prior to that. We don't want to be any worse than we were last year," Lally said. "Our program is a solid one."
Divsion II
Defending champion Milford is counted among the top contenders heading into the season, but the big question for the Spartans will be how they deal with the loss of the state's best player.
Morgan Andrews was Gatorade National Girls' Soccer Player of the year and New Hampshire Union Leader 2012 Red Rolfe Female Athlete of the Year.
Andrews is headed to Notre Dame and leaves a void for Milford. But the Spartans were more than a one-player team and return much of the championship team.
Runner-up Souhegan will be poised to make another run as well.
In Manchester, a team to keep an eye on is Trinity. While fielding a young team, coach Miranda Comiskey is excited about the future.
"We're looking pretty good. I'm excited by the young talent we have," Comiskey said. "We have some four-year varsity starters so we're not hurting too badly."
Division III
It's fitting that the biggest division (along with DII at 21 teams) is perhaps the most wide open.
While defending champion Hopkinton is a projected favorite, the field behind the Hawks is closing fast.
Raymond, Campbell of Litchfield and last year's runner-up Bow are all expected to stake a claim for the title. Belmont and Bishop Brady of Concord are also considered teams to keep an eye on.
Bow lost eight players, including the four defensive starters, but coach Jay Vogt is still optimistic.
"We've got a little ways to go to get organized, but that's what the preseason is for," Vogt said. "Our strength is that we've got a lot of players that can play a lot of positions."
Division IV
After coming up just short in the title game in 2011 and 2009, Littleton finally broke through in 2012.
Sophomore Allison Horne will look to build on a sensational freshman season that saw her score the only goal of the state championship win over Newmarket.
Horne's development willbear watching since she may be needed to carry the load.
"Littleton graduated some seniors so I think they may be in a growing season after the wonderful year they had last year," said Derryfield coach Jack Sanford.
Newmarket should be back at the top of the heap and Sunapee will make some noise as well.
But noise-makers may not come bigger than Derryfield's own incoming freshman phenom, Gabi Brummett. She joins transfer Emma Garfield (previously with Bow) as two players expected to push Derryfield into the upper echelon.
"We have two new players that will help us a lot. Emma Garfield, she's a junior. She's powerful, fast, great ball control, a wonderful player," Sanford said. "Gabi Brummett, she's a striker who plays at the the highest level you can for her age."

I found a thread on here and now lost it and can't find it again so I guess I'll start a new one.
Does anyone know the status of Neumann and Bennett, the makers of Plasti Duk Decoys?
I called them and placed an order for decoys back in March which consisted of 18 Mallard Drakes and 8 Mallard Hens. When I placed the order I was told that it would be about 3 - 4 weeks until the decoys were made. Well as of 4 - 5 weeks ago I still had not received my decoys so I called to check on my order. It took several phone calls until anyone answered the phone and after about a week of calling I actually got someone to answer the phone. At that time I was told that my drakes were done and that they were just waiting for the paint to dry on my hens and that they should be shipped out in about a week. Well after about 3 weeks I still had not yet received my decoys so I attempted to contact them by phone again. After about a week of calling and getting sent to voicemail I did leave a message. I also sent and email asking about my order. I did not receive any call back or response to my email. I attempted calling again for another week and left another message and sent another email. Then I receive an email...this is what they sent me. NOTE: THEY CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD AT THE TIME I PLACED MY ORDER.
Mr. XXXXXXXX,
We are crediting your account for your pre-order of Super Mag. Decoys plus shipping, we apologize for any inconveninece this may have caused.
Something is going on with them and I am just trying to figure out if they are going out of business or what. If not I may wait til next year to order from them....if not I will look elsewhere.

When I was a teenager, I never ever did my homework. Ever. My parents encouraged, bribed, punished, diagnosed, medicated, but throughout junior high and high school, my grades never rose above a C. More than anything, I really wanted to get stuff right, and get good grades, but I couldn't. And much the way I hated myself for being too large and not sexy enough, I also hated myself for being too lazy and not smart enough .
Ignoring homework until I was about to fail was not a sign of poor work ethic - it was a sigh of a disability and internalizing ableism. I did very well in college and I work basically all the time now - I really like work, a lot, these days. I'm not lazy, though I constantly berated myself for laziness, even after I was diagnosed with ADD.*
Now past the days of homework, I'm over hating myself. But I'm not over my disabilities, and the paperwork at every junction of adult life is a challenge that often feel insurmountable. I cannot sustain my attention to finish up more than one page of paperwork at a time, so, I do it immediately or put it off. If I don't get it done immediately, my anxiety explodes and keeps me from looking at, thinking about, or working on it.
While I finally force myself to fill out my name, social security number, and other apparently relevant details,, I'm constantly berating myself: why didn't you get this done earlier how do you know that's right what if you make a mistake what if you lie what if you get in trouble what if what if what if. Filling out forms for anything - taxes, student loans, health insurance - becomes almost unbearable, something to be procrastinated as long as humanly possible no matter how crucial it is.
Adult life with official forms papers and documentation is not accessible or accommodating to my disabled self. I have little recourse, respite, or understanding. As with the homework I didn't do, my problems with paperwork are read not ad a societal fixation on over-documentation, but as a problem with me. Completing forms in a timely fashion is framed as a virtue, so difficulty completing such work is framed as a flaw. Paperwork's not too frustrating, encumbering, confusing: I'm too lazy, worthless, careless.
The tyranny of forms is not, of course, limited to this particular axis of disability: paperwork also works on behalf of cissexism and race and many other axes. It's a force of the kyriarchy in more than one way. Nor am I the first to point out the disabling effects of ADD/ADHD; this writing is particularly inspired by a couple of posts:
Whether or not you have a diagnosis, most neurotypicals will assume that your symptoms are a moral failure – that things don't get done because you don't care enough to get them done. That you forget things because you don't care to remember them. That you get distracted from doing something because you don't care to apply yourself to it. But these are all far from the truth. ADHDers do care, but wishing won't change neurology. We can develop coping skills, but those only work so far. - Lisa Harney, ADHD Isn't Trivia
I never intend for things to get this way. I ignore something for one day, and pretty soon it's eighteen days later and I still haven't done it. Then my responsibilities become wrapped up in so much guilt and helplessness that I have to ignore them because I'd rather feel good about myself. -Allie Brosh, ProcrastinatorAlso check out Kinsey and Isabel on the topic.
Paperwork is a form of institutionalized ableism. Paperwork keeps folks who have issues with anxiety, ADD, and likely other disorders from living, from working, from getting the care we need to treat that which disables us. It makes paperwork a daunting, insurmountable task - and its incompletion perpetuates guilt and sends it further away from actually getting done.
Paperwork is to a certain extent necessary, and to advocate its end is not helpful. Society is, as always, very concerned with its own existence, and how to best document it. And so, I can't advocate for its ends - I can only explain how I experience it as problematic. Furthermore I must admit that I don't know how to accommodate this problem beyond simple suggestions - less complexity, more available and non-shaming assistance with forms.
I don't exactly know what to do. I just think that functioning should be less contingent on how well we fill in forms; I think our basic rights to exist and live and be healthy should be less dependent on whether we have our papers in order.
*Not ADHD - I've never had hyperactivity.

Teens: Smoking Less, Texting While Driving More
Teenagers are particularly vulnerable to emotional highs and lows and it typically shows in their behavior. Mixed in with lots of good days and excellent choices are temptations and decisions that put them at high risk for dangerous and sometimes deadly outcomes. It's all part of the adolescent stage of life.
The good news is that a recent survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows teenagers are smoking cigarettes, using drugs, fighting and drinking alcohol less.
They're also more likely to wear their seatbelts and helmets when they are supposed to.
On the flip side, more teens are obese and not getting enough sleep.
However, the most troubling new data shows that more than 40% of teenagers who drive cars admit to having texted or emailed while driving recently.
"We're encouraged to see that high school students are making better choices in some areas, like smoking, fighting, and alcohol use," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, MD.
However, other areas are concerning, he said, including the amount of time students spend glued to a screen instead of being active and a relatively new worry -- texting or emailing while driving.
Two in five of the 64% of students who reported driving in the 30 days before the survey also said they had been texting or emailing while behind the wheel, according to Stephanie Zaza, MD, director of the agency's Division of Adolescent and School Health.
"This puts them and other drivers at risk," she said.
On the whole though, there's been really good progress made in teenager's safety and health.
"I think it's really encouraging that we're seeing the lowest cigarette smoking rate ever," Frieden told NBC News.
While smoking is the single biggest preventable cause of death in the United States — it causes heart disease, cancer and lung disease — teenagers face a more immediate risk. The single biggest killer of teens is motor vehicle crashes, causing 23% of deaths among 10 to 24-year-olds, CDC says.
Frieden believes that there's a reason teens are buckling up more, whether they are behind the wheel or riding as a passenger.
"These positive trends didn't just happen. They're the result of hard work in communities all over the country — doing things like protecting kids from secondhand smoke, passing laws that are graduated driving laws so that kids don't drink and drive," he said.
On the texting front, older teen drivers may do it more often. CDC found that 58% of high school seniors admitted to texting while driving.
Another positive statistic is that fewer teens are having sex. Unfortunately this good news is tempered with a down side. Teen sex is decreasing but so is condom use.
Just over a third of teenagers are currently sexually active.
Teens should use condoms even if they are also using other contraception, Frieden said. Pregnancy is a big worry, but STDs are even more likely, and Frieden fears "there may be a sense that, well, there's treatment for HIV so it's not such a terrible problem."
There may be treatments for HIV but there's no cure. People must take pills every single day for life and the virus can develop resistance to those medications.
The other long-term risks to health are poor diet and a lack of exercise. Teens are trying, but not reaching targets there, the survey indicates.
Results of this survey show that teens are making progress in some important safety and health related areas and, like most of us, need work in others. The fact that fewer teens are smoking is very good news. The increase in texting while driving is very troubling but not surprising considering that adults are doing the same thing.
Many of the safety and health issues teens are experiencing are not much different from what adults are doing and that's where parents and guardians can make a big difference. Kids are much more likely to control their own behavior better when they see their parents doing the same.

HP Notes: Friday, Nov. 7, 2008
Muny, who posted his third straight victory with a front-running effort in the Oak Tree Derby on the Breeders' Cup undercard at Santa Anita, is slated to make his next start in the $500,000 Hollywood Derby on Nov. 30, trainer Mike Puype said Friday at Hollywood Park. The Grade I race is at 1 ¼ miles on turf.
"He's three-for-four," said Puype of the 3-year-old gelding. "I bet not many horses have won the Oak Tree Derby in only their fourth start. It's not easy to take on those seasoned horses and carry them wire-to-wire.
Muny, bred and co-owned by Rick Trontz in Kentucky, is by Najran out of the Farma Way mare Because I Can. "Rick runs Hopewell Farm and stands Najran," said Puype. "He was a fast precocious horse."
A main concern for Puype is the ten-furlong distance, a furlong longer than Muny has run. "I'm not going to brag about a mile and a quarter," said Puype. "That's uncharted territory. He's always pulled on the bit. He will have to relax a little more at a mile and a quarter."
Puype said that Muny is scheduled to work Saturday at Santa Anita before being shipped here and working on the turf November 16 and 23.
Regular rider David Flores retains the Derby call.
Trontz owns half the horse in partnership with Bob Bone, Jim Robinson, Don Johnson and Brewer Racing.
Other leading Derby threats include Del Mar Derby winner Madeo, Virginia Derby winner Gio Ponti, Jamaica Handicap winner Court Vision and Secretariat Stakes winner Winchester.
El Gato Malo and Monterey Jazz, both sidelined since stakes victories in Texas this spring, are on the comeback trail for trainer Craig Dollase.
"They both needed a couple months, are on the same path in workouts and are a couple of weeks away from running," Dollase said here Friday.
"El Gato Malo had a minor leg injury after winning the Lone Star Derby (May 10) and got some time off at Winner's Circle Ranch in Bradbury," said Dollase. "I got him back in September."
El Gato Malo worked four furlongs here Thursday. The 3-year-old gelding broke his maiden at first asking here last November and came back to win the Gold Rush Stakes at Golden Gate Fields and the San Rafael Stakes at Santa Anita. "He's being aimed for the Strub series but he may get started before that at this meet," said Dollase.
"Monterey Jazz is ready to work five furlongs," said Dollase of the 4-year-old colt who also made his mark here last November with an allowance victory on turf before capturing the Sir Beaufort and Strub Stakes on the lead at Santa Anita.
"He won the Texas Mile (by eight lengths April 26) and got a hind-end injury," explained Dollase of the layoff. "We were pointing him to the Met Mile and had to miss it."
Monterey Jazz is nominated to the $400,000-added Citation Handicap on Nov. 28 but Dollase has not yet decided on a return spot.
Pasar Silbano, a nominee to the $100,000-added Moccasin Stakes for 2-year-old fillies Nov. 16, arrived in Barn 51 South Friday after clearing quarantine following a flight from Ireland Wednesday.
The Irish-bred daughter of Elnadim has won four of six starts in Ireland. She won her first two starts on a synthetic surface this spring for trainer G.M. Lyons. She added the Curragh Coolmore Stakes in July and an allowance race in her most recent start Sept. 28.
The filly was recently purchased by Three Chimneys Racing, a Kentucky-based syndicate which won the CashCall Mile here in July with Diamond Diva.
Pasar Silbano is one of 16 fillies nominated to the seven-furlong Moccasin, a prep for the Hollywood Starlet on Dec. 13. The list is headed by Mi Chiamano Mimi and Alpha Kitten, one-two finishers in the Anoakia Stakes.
Chocolate Candy, a steadily improving colt, seeks his first stakes victory Saturday in the $100,000-added Real Quiet for 2-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track.
"He's coming up to a good race; the more distance, the better," said trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.
Chocolate Candy broke his maiden at fourth asking at one mile Oct. 4 at Santa Anita. By Candy Ride out of the Seattle Slew mare Crownette, Chocolate Candy is owned by the Craig Family Trust.
The Kentucky-bred leaves from post four in a field of seven under Garrett Gomez.
FINISH LINES — Although the Real Quiet goes as the ninth-race feature, a 2-year-old maiden race will attract plenty of attention. The 6 ½-furlong race, which goes as the seventh, includes several pricey colts, including Keep Thinking, a $2.4-million Keeneland September yearling purchase; Moneagle, a $700,000 purchase at the same sale, and Position A, a $675,000 buy at the Keeneland April sale…"Keep Thinking seems like a nice horse but with a 2-year-old you never know until you run them," said Brian Ange, assistant to trainer Eoin Harty, of the Darley Stable colt. The son of A.P. Indy rallied to finish second in his debut at Belmont Park Sept. 13...Also stabled here with Ange is an unnamed 2-year-old sister to multiple stakes winner Dreaming of Anna. "She's huge, maybe the biggest 2-year-old I've ever seen," he said Ange…Trainer Jim Cassidy said Passified, a two-time stakes winner on the Hollywood turf and fourth in the CashCall Mile, would make her next start Nov. 30 in the $500,000 Matriarch.

"It's a great playoff series win where all 19 players were committed to playing physical, blocking shots and playing at a high pace against a good and skilled Bentley team," said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. "Our penalty kill and goaltending, which have been really strong all season, really rose to the occasion at the biggest time of the year."
Sophomore Cody Freeman scored both goals for Canisius to lead the Griffs to the win.
Junior Tony Capobianco anchored the defense with 35 saves on the night. The junior stopped 70-of-71 shots during the two-game sweep over the weekend.
After a scoreless first period, Freeman got the Griffs on the scoreboard with his ninth tally of the season at the 14:36 mark of the second. From his own zone, sophomore defender Logan Roe bounced the puck off the boards and to junior Kyle Gibbons at the Falcons' blue line, who had gotten past the Bentley defender. Gibbons then fired a shot on net and Freeman was there to knock the rebound in for the 1-0 lead.
Freeman then added a second goal on the night and his 10th of the season, scoring seconds after a disallowed tally by the Falcons. Bentley seemingly tied the game at one but the referee immediately signaled that it was deflected in with a high stick. With the faceoff moving to the other end, Canisius won the draw and Freeman tipped a shot from Gibbons in for the 2-0 lead. Sophomore Stephen Farrell also registered an assist on the goal with 59 seconds remaining in the second period.
Bentley cut its deficit in half with its first goal of the weekend with 4:40 remaining in regulation. Andrew Gladiuk found the back of the net off a deflected shot out front for the 2-1 score. However, the Griffs defense denied the equalizing tally as Canisius completed the two-game sweep.
Canisius held a slight advantage in shots on the night, 37-36, with both teams going scoreless in five power-play attempts.
Branden Komm recorded 35 saves for the Falcons in the loss.
The Griffs now advance to face Air Force next weekend in Colorado for a best 2-of-3 quarterfinal series. The schools are set to begin the series on Friday at 9:05 p.m. ET.
Game Notes: The win was the 100th in the career of Dave Smith ... Freeman now has 14 points (9g, 5a) in his last 14 games after recording seven points in the first 38 games of his career ... Gibbons has recorded multiple points in four-straight contests ... After this weekend, the home team is now 28-1 all-time in Atlantic Hockey series with Canisius earning the lone win as the road team (vs. Mercyhurst in 2010) ... The Griffs won back-to-back games against Bentley for the first time since Feb. 20, 2004 and Nov. 5, 2004 ... Canisius held Atlantic Hockey's top scorer during the regular season, Brett Gensler, without a point in the series ... Air Force went 2-0-1 against the Griffs this season.

New Series "Little Women Big Cars" Debuts on AOL On
May 7, 2012
Today marks the premiere of our new original web series "Little Women Big Cars" on AOL On Parenting. Set in New Jersey, Little Women Big Cars centers around four devoted soccer moms struggling to balance their busy schedules, family lives and sanity. The series is part of a larger slate of original programs ranging from comedy to crime investigation that AOL introduced at our Digital Content NewFront in April.
Meet the Cast

- Connie (Romy Rosemont, Glee), a curvaceous and big-hearted mother and Rocky's side-kick
- Mr. Hughes (Ed Begley Jr., Portlandia, The New Adventures of Old Christine), school Principal with whom Meg is constantly trying to be in good graces
- A.J. (Antonio Sabato, Jr., Melrose Place, The Bold and the Beautiful), the handsome, recently divorced soccer coach
- Woody (Alexis Denisof,Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel ) – Meg's husband
When the women set Barbara up on a date with their kids' handsome and recently divorced soccer coach, the blossoming relationship forces the other women to re-examine their own marriages. Their friendship is further tested when it comes time to compete for spots in the school's gifted program. Will the women realize their bond is truly stronger than they ever imagined? From bake sales and soccer games, to gossip and divorce, these four moms will navigate the comedy and drama of suburban life.
Little Women Big Cars is directed by Melanie Mayron and is created by Sherry Coben. Coben is best known for creating the hit 80's sitcom "Kate & Allie."

Mistakes Were Made (but not by me)
The imperfection of our human brains has been a frequent topic of books lately, most notably Dan Ariely's Predictably Irrational. Mistakes were made goes into considerable depth on one key failing, cognitive dissonance. The authors call cognitive dissonance the "engine of self-justification" and attribute many examples of irrational behavior to our attempts to resolve it.

Comments about oreilly Digital Photography: The Missing Manual:
This Windows-only book gently eases beginning digital photographers intothe rapidly evolving and exciting world of digital photography, withoutoverwhelming them with technical detail. It also provides support to bothamateur and proficient film photographers who are transitioning from theirprevious comfort zone of traditional shooting to new territory withunfamiliar vocabulary, methods, and hardware. Who could possibly be morewelcoming to these beginners than David Pogue, who wrote the enticingintroduction to this Missing Manual? In his typically refreshing blend ofeasy-to-understand language, touch of humor, and genuine enthusiasm, Pogue magically engages the reader and assures subsequentabsorption of the book from cover-to-cover. In the Introduction, David Pogue explains that the book is comprised of fourparts, each containing several chapters. The First Section, Digital CameraBasics, assists in the decision of what type of digital camera best suits which needs, and then how to learn to use the features of thatchoice. The differences between digital and film photographyare reviewed, and easily implemented tips for taking great photos indifferent kinds of situations and environments are provided. The SecondSection, Organizing Your Photos, focuses on different options for storing,organizing and retrieving photos on the computer and on the Internet.Section Three looks at Editing Your Photos using the computer and softwareprograms (as opposed to previously using a darkroom and sending jobs out toa photo lab). Basics of removing red eye, blemishes, cropping, and moreadvanced topics like creating panoramas from multiple photos are reviewed.Finally, Section Four explores sharing digital photos, printing photos at home, ordering prints through online services, and ordering specialty items such as photo books, calendars, and other photo items. While this book is intended for Windows users, much of the content isenriching for any beginning digital photographer, regardless of platform.This is especially true of digital camera features, lighting andflash options, explanations of resolution for printing, memory cardvarieties, and editing considerations. The beginner is also advised to learnto take risks in trying different creative techniques and options, since itis easy to just erase mistakes. Tips are given for shootingvacation photos, weddings and celebrations, sunset and nightphotos, indoor flash photography, sports and action shots, and specialeffects. The techniques of rotating, resizing, and other editing and enhancing are introduced to the beginner for a taste of the next level in photo manipulation. Digital Photography: The Missing Manual has many detailed and colorfulillustrations, as well as an excellent index (typical of this series). The authorsdo an excellent job of organizing the basic essential information for a beginner to get started in digital photography. Thecontent of this book will surely serve as a firm foundation for the beginner to develop confidence to acquire effective digital photography skills.

amazing what you find in some of these older post ,been a great help as weathering my boots at the mo
Where can you order the CA Boots?
Great stuff! Do you have any tutorials for helmet or armor weathering?
I found the CAboots.com site via TK409.com. I'll have to research and see if they'll do size 15.
I went back on the CA boots site tonight and found a pair of 15's Champion Attitude Boot Company Boba Fett Ankle Boots Cowboy Boots to Wear, Cowboy Boots to Admire.
Great tutorial, I've just started my mow boots
MOW boots are Man of War Studios' boots. You'll only find them on ebay, along with the rest of his pretty popular items.
7 years later and I'll be using this tutorial for my MOW boots.
Anyone know of a thread to weather the new caboots? They are suede, have tan/sand soles, and definitely look crappier than these older sets.... I wish I had not missed out on MOW's run :(.
😁😁👍👍 definitely I am going to use this tutorial thanks
This was a great help. I just used this technique on my MOW 1st version boots. The "more water" makes a lighter pigmet was something I didn't know. So again great help!
Where can you order the CA Boots?
Vego, you can find the CA Boots on their website. Here's the link directly to the boots they refer to as Boba Fett Ankle Boots.
Just ordered my 11.5 MOW boots this week and got them in the mail a today, wow I like them a lot. Now it's time for some weathering.
Hey Skyfire, would love to see any weathering pics when you have them. I'm looking at getting a pair of MOW boots too - I'd better hurry up before my size is gone!
I am a normally a 10.5-11.0 us Wide or 4E. So I went with 11.5. They are a little snug side to side, but should break in and plenty long enough. If I would have went with 12's they would be way too long, like clown shoes. Well there is that and I am making a display piece since I am too Fat to Fett so my manequin will not complain. Will post pics once I get them weathered, need to order supplies.
I actually like this tut based on a starting point from spideyfet's original: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/mow-boots-buildup-esb-fett-45115
I like mine a little darker.
I used the same techniques on my MOW boots and they turned out fantastic. Now all I need is toes spikes!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|If Sky doesn't get better and your other dog comes down with the symptoms I would recommend your vet completing a blood test. I just found out today that my 5 month old GS puppy has pancreatitis which can only be diagnosed with a blood test. Needless to say Stella is on a lot of medication and we have to monitor her every move and she has to get fluids from the vet and not eat until all of her symptoms are gone. Pancreatitis can be fatal as well and is something that can be drawn out for quite some time. Stella could have started getting it awhile ago and as her symptoms got more severe (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargic, blood in her stool, etc.) that is when I started getting concerned. So definately if your babies aren't getting completely better demand your vet to take a blood test. Hope it is just a virus though and you won't have to go through what I'm going through with my baby girl.
Thank you everybody
Sky has been doing well ever since she got her first injections last night at the Vet. I had to go back early today to do a check up and she received the same injections one more time. The Vet also advised me to change her diet, so I received a small bag of Royal Canin Sensitivity Control SC21. I fed her today, although in very small amounts, and so far it has stayed in her system. I have one more appointment tomorrow morning. I am glad she is doing better, though she's still weak (understandable).
The vet told me that there's a virus going around and it's possible that she contracted it (though no blood work was done or anything). What's got me worried a bit now is that I have another dog in the household that's starting to pass gas with the same sort of smell like Sky did weeks ago. She's also having the same issues with her poop being solid at first, and then becoming more liquid towards the end.
Mary&Stella - I live near Baden-Baden. Yourself?
|I love your baby! She is gorgeous. Best wishes for a quick recovery. I am so glad you found a vet to help you.
Sky is gorgeous. I hope she will be ok. Please keep us posted.

|Lovely dog, where in Germany are you ? We have a terrific Vet and he will do house calls too !
|Sky is gorgeous. I hope this gets figured out and she recovers quickly. Welcome!
Heidigsd - Thank you so much for that link. Although there were no results for the area that I live in, it helped tremendously because of the word "Tiernotdienst". Before I registered on this forum I was only googling for animal clinics, and none of them offered 24-hour emergency services. Googling "Tiernotdienst" for my area brought up the results I needed. A big thank you!
|Glad you found an emergency vet. Keep us posted. Hopefully she will be on the mend very soon.
I just came back from the E-Vet. The lady working was quite annoyed at me asking about HGE & Bloat ( she didn't bother to talk about it when I asked). I guess that's beside the point right now though.
The lady did take her temperature (which was okay), and listened to her heart rate; also normal. She said that the dog is dehydrated just by looking at her eyes. She gave my dog three injections: One for the diarrhea, one for vomiting, and another for something else that has to do with her stomach. I have another appointment in 6 hours. If it doesn't improve, she said my dog will have to stay there for a couple days so they can really figure out what is going on. Bloodwork was not done. She advised me to not give my dog any water for the next two hours. She also said that it is absolutely normal for a dog to start bleeding out of their rectum after having so much diarrhea. I hope she is correct..
vom Eisenherz - Bloodwork was not done the last time I went to the vet. They also advised to just wait and see if the stuff they gave me helps.

And since this is my first posting here (although I've browsed this forum a few times before in the past couple years), I guess I should go ahead and introduce my dog "Sky"
|vom Eisenherz
I hate to give out too much info online, for fear someone will skip the vet and follow internet advice...but typically, if it's "JUST" HGE, metronidazole will be administered, as well as sub-q or IV fluids at the E-vet. Sometimes Cerenia will be prescribed for vomiting. None of these are things "regular" people have on hand. The metronidazole is critical for preventing secondary infections that can cause a dog to become septic, and the fluids are obviously necessary. Cerenia is a powerful anti-nausea medicine, often used in parvo puppies.
The thing that bothers me about an HGE diagnosis is that this started a couple days ago, and HGE usually is more sudden. This sounds like it could be something bigger getting way out of hand, especially since she's already ON an anti-diarrheal, the Canikur. Could this be an obstruction? Pancreatitis? Was bloodwork done when you brought her in 2 days ago, and if so, what were the results?
Praying she pulls through and you get help NOW.

1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
Hi everyone i was researching some about my Cadillac Seville i have and came across your site and thought some of you on here with more knowledge on the engine than me could help me out. I have been a proud owner of a 1983 Cadillac Seville for a couple months now, but i have ran into a problem which i believe to be a vacuum leak.
I have the standard gas engine ht-4100 4.1L engine. Sometimes whenever i start the car up, it will run smooth, but then it will start to run rough. It will act like the engine is reving up, then act like the engine is about to stall or die, then rev back up, the act like it's dieing, you get the picture. Then whenever i try to drive up a hill, i will start to climb the hill at 45 mph, then it will drop down to 25 mph before i reach the top with the petal to the floor. Also sometimes on normal flat roads, i'm lucky to get it up past 45 mph sometimes not even that, more like 40 mph.
there has also been a few times where i park the car, then get out for maybe an hour or so, get pack in, the engine starts, rev up, rev down, like before, then die. Then i have to pump the petal some and hope it starts back up for me. I have also had it where i reverse out of a parking space then the engine die in the middle of the lane. I'm assuming it is a vacuum leak somewhere. Most of the hoses don't seem to be in terrible condition but you can tell there is some age on it.
I opened the hood of the car, trying to find a hose that was rotted, i took the cover of the air breather, and got down the the trotter body. One of the hoses toward the back (looking from the front of the car, had a split in the end. The hose goes from the left silver cover on the engine to the air breather. Could this be my vacuum leak? and how in the heck do you get it off, i tried but couldn't get it to budge :/ Also when idle, if i put the petal to the floor, the engine almost dies instead of the rpm going up.
Then as i took the metal cylinder shape tube off the throttle body, i found dry rotted remains of a gasket which is completely done for. Could this play a part in the leak, and if so what is the name for it? Any help is much appreciated.
P.S. on a side note... i have a belt that is whining pretty bad. I've noticed that the heater goes cold when it whines and doesn't blow as hard... any idea which belt it is? ;/

Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
A couple of things to check out/replace as necessary:
1. Your vacuum leak sounds like the hose that connects the pcv valve to the air cleaner. I would replace that hose and the pcv valve too.(The hose should be available at your auto parts store in a dorman catalog)
2. You didn't state how many miles your car has but if it still has the orignal catalytic converter, and some decent miles, 80k or higher, it is probably plugged up and would make acceleration very difficult and also cause stalling.
3. EGR valve could be sluggish or non functioning and operation should be checked.
Hope that helps, let us know what you find out.

Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
There is a idle control device that could be bad. A vacuum leak large enough to cause the problems you describe would have to be huge. To remove any rubber hose that's stuck firm, cut it off with a razor blade and install a new one. You could have a bad throttle body gasket, somethings come apart there. If you don't have a factory shop manual, you should have one to go through the trouble codes, I suspect you'll have a bunch of them.. Is your Service Soon and or Service Now light's on? If you have a noisy belt you need to adjust it, or replace it, or find out where the noise is coming from, if not a belt. The heater changing output with a whine would suggest a bad alternator, or seriously loose belt, the heater shouldn't go cold though. There's a lot of things to check with your problems, but this might be a start, good luck. Duane
Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
thanks for the replies, i'll start to check out some of the problems that you mentioned. The cars has 78,000+ original miles on it. Yes the service soon light is on sometimes, and when the car fails to start the service now light comes on. I tried to check the codes from the air control thing, but all it gave me was a -1.8.8, then 22, then 52, then 7.0 or something which means its finished i think
Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
You need to replace the fuel filter 1st then perform a fuel pressure test. A vacuum leak on a fuel injected car will cause a higher idle, not a rough idle. The gasket on the throttle body around the air cleaner base is simply a dust shield, many are missing with no ill affects. This engine tends to develop a loose smog pump belt which will cause the alternator belt to slip and eventually weaken the battery. The belt is tightened from underneath the car! Any muffler/ exhaust shop can verify a plugged cat. converter. If the fuel pressure is weak, an idle surge can occur. The almost dying can be the idle speed motor working to raise the engine speed back up which is a normal function if the fuel pressure is weak or the converter's plugged.
Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
Ok so i finally got the hose off, and i REALLY NEED HELP NOW.... WHERE DO I BUY A REPLACEMENT?
None of the GM delearships around me sell anything for my car anymore... if anyone knows an online website that has it and is trustworthy i'll buy it online, or if anyone else knows how to get a replacement hose let me know.... the part that goes around the inside of the engine cover thing snapped and no longer will sit in there snug so im basically with out a hose . here are some pics of what i mean
I spayed some WD40 around that hose to see if that was the leak for sure, and the engine started to rev up when i did that, so im almost 100% positive that is my leak
and here is that gasket i was talking about earlier
ok so i bought i PCV Valve Gommet & PCV elbow and it seemed to fit like a glove where the old hose went so tomorrow i'll add a hose and see how it works
Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
That hose is the fresh air breather hose. It being off or loose will not affect engine idle or drive ability. I've driven mine a whole day with that hose off the air filter by accident with no drive ability issues. It simply allows the engine to exhale into the air cleaner assembly. As long as you get a hose that is oil resistant from the valve cover to the air cleaner it will work. Heater hose will not. The gasket on the throttle body to the spacer is simply a dust shield. You might try a carb gasket of the correct diameter. It being off or torn will not affect how the car runs. When you sprayed WD 40 it entered the valve cover hole which would account for the idle rising. That hose is not a source of a vacuum leak. I dont believe you have a vacuum leak at all. I think you have either weak fuel pressure, plugged fuel filter or a plugged cat. converter.
Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
well as far as the vacuum leak is concerned... i added a new hose on the "fresh air breather hose" and now im hearing a loud hiss i know wasn't there before it is around the thing the second hose goes to (not sure what is called though)
also does anyone know how to get a pre-formed fresh air breather hose? i can seem to find one, i have a hose on it right now, but i'd like to have the proper hose on it
Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
The second hose on that side funnels air from the smog pump diverter valve back into the air cleaner once the engine reaches temperature or on deceleration. That breather hose was used on any 4100 engine that was used on a 82 thru 85 Seville, Eldo Coupe or Sedan DeVille or Fleetwood rear wheel drive. Because you've never listed the area where you live, I wouldn't know where to send it after I pull it off a wreck. Have you tested the fuel pressure or had the cat. converter checked yet?
Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
this is what i currently have as an replacement for the s-shape hose... just a temp fix though
this is a smaller hose/ line that came off after i started my car after putting the temp fix (above) on my car. I put it back on pretty quickly but when i did i noticed it is falling apart also i guess im needing to get it fixed soon. When i put it back on the engine made a fluttering sound, but after driving it some today that sound stopped so im not sure why it did that.
and this is where i am hearing a loud hiss sound from (as far as i can tell it is coming from here
i could give you the area where i live through an email or personal message or something but how much would you charge to send that hose?
And no, i haven't checked the Cat. Converted, fuel filter, or fuel pressure yet. I dont know off hand where to take it around me to get it checked, i know a lot of places will run a generic diagnostics on the car for $100

Put rockauto.com on your favorites list, it's a good reference for parts.
Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
The "hiss sound" is probably the diverter valve on the smog pump directing air into the air cleaner. The temp. hose for the breather looks OK for now. List your location in your profile, not your address but at least the State in which you live! I say again, neither of these hoses will affect how your car runs. Any established auto repair shop can do a fuel pressure test in about a half hour. Most muffler shops can check your cat. converter for free.
Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
hellya2011 did you fix it?
Duane and carnut are giving you solid advise, listen to them or you could be chaseing your tail and spend a lot of cash on parts you dont need.
Man that hose, cutting it off the valve cover in hindsight was a mistake. Its a breather hose and dosn't use a PCV. A little black silicon at the cracks would have fixed the problem.
These cars have an AIR PUMP and a VACUME PUMP so the engine surgeing you discribe is caused by something else. Like...pluged fuel filter, Idle speed adjustment. The operation of the engine is controled by computer not vacume like cars of old.
carnut has posted several times the procedure for adjusting the idle speed.
Also before spending any cash I would recomend doing a power brake test to see if any back firing occurs. If so you got cam and lifter problems. Then you gota make some hard decisions.
I had to replace the cam and lifters in my own 83 Eldo HT4100 last winter.
Good luck.

Re: 1983 Cadillac Seville HT-4100 Vacuum Leak?
It sounds like a clogged catalytic to me since it only goes 25 up hill and 45 on level ground. You should check the fuel pressure first though.

I bought these masks as props for the females attending my daughter's Sweet 16 Masquerade Party. I had different masks for the guys. I laid them out on a table by the entrance so that each person could grab one as they entered the party. They were pretty and sparkly and most importantly VERY affordable. They were a big hit!

John Harrigan: A lesson about salmon, and a word about dogs
JOHN HARRIGAN | January 12. 2013 9:06PM
Most schoolchildren learn at least a little bit about the huge numbers of salmon and shad that once ran up our two major rivers, the Connecticut and the Merrimack, during the spring freshet to seek out their ancestral waters and begin a new generation. Anyone who reads history can take this a whole lot further and delve into a long list of literature on facts and speculation about what life was like back when these great fish could run from the high country to the sea and back, unimpeded by the dams that eventually spelled their doom.
Members of the various tribes of the Abenaki gathered at narrow, fast-water places in the rivers to fish for salmon and shad during their spring run. Amoskeag falls in Manchester is the best known of these sites, although there are several others. Today's students, and their parents, can enjoy a wonderful learning experience on this, which we didn't have in my day, which is a visit to the fish ladder constructed around the falls as a cooperative venture between Public Service of New Hampshire and Fish and Game. Visitors can look through a glass wall to see fish using the water-filled stairway around the falls, which once in a while - not nearly as often as everyone first hoped - includes Atlantic salmon.
Anyway, while refreshing my research on this, I came upon a paper I hadn't seen, which seemed to throw cold water on the assumption that salmon and shad were all that big a part of the Indians' lives, or whether they even belonged here. This is "The (in)Significance of Atlantic Salmon," by Catherine Carlson, a professor of archaeology at University College of the Cariboo at Kamloops, British Columbia. And the key point she raises is that in no middens (essentially, Abenaki dumps) have any salmon bones been found. This flies in the face of accounts that the salmon runs were so huge at the advent of Colonial times that indentured servants had it written into their contracts that they could be fed salmon no more than once or twice a week, and indicates that salmon got here only as recently as the Little Ice Age (1550-1800), and began disappearing not because of dams, but global re-warming. The Penobscot in Maine, she writes, is a good example of a watershed where there were plenty of dams and pollution, but the salmon hung on because it's colder there, and still do.
Now, this made me sit up and take notice, and I've been mulling it over ever since. Indians and settlers both caught anadromous fish as one means of subsistence, as is well documented. But why the paucity of bones? Right from the start I thought about the region's highly acidic soils, often cited as the reason why so few of the Indians' implements, mainly "soft" items like baskets and spears, have survived the ages. Fish bones are pretty soft as bones go, and, I'd think, would be faster to decay.
Then, too, let's think about what the people were doing with these fish. For the most part, they were splitting and laying them out, bones-in, on wooden racks to dry, the easiest way a huge surge of protein could be processed and packaged for the trail. The bones eventually hit the ground, for sure, but all over the confederation.
And here we get into the subject of dogs, a topic little visited when it comes to Indians. Based on unscientific but rich experience, I'd give a fish bone hitting the deck a half-life of a nanosecond.
This makes me think (again) about another thing concerning dogs, which is that they bark. I think about this every time I see a scene in a movie in which the good guys (I guess that would be us) are sneaking up on a sleeping Indian village, ready to attack to either (a) avenge some sort of depredation, or (b) break another treaty so they can steal more land. You might hear crickets in the silence of the stalk, but where are the dogs in all this? My dogs have always barked at even the distant rumble of a snowplow, to let me know in that fond fog that lulls us into thinking that dogs are all about us instead of food, that there's some kind of monster out there. Dogs can hear 10 times better than we can, and their noses are fine enough to track down criminals and, for all I know, space aliens.
This is where I get to digress to the subject of Rogers' Rangers. Which brings me (readers have been wondering about this) to the point.
Here we have, back in 1759, Robert Rogers and his Rangers - tough, highly trained, expert woodsmen all, the forerunners of today's Green Berets (this part is true, and they are still using Rogers' orders of march) - belly-crawling up to a whole passel of sleeping Indians on the south side of the St. Lawrence for a predawn strike.
Fat chance, I always think whenever I see or envision this scene. Every dog in the village would have been on high alert, barking and bellowing the alarm. Anyone knows you can't sneak up on a dog, so where were the dogs when the St. Francis Indians needed them?
Unless, of course, they'd eaten them.

Prokofieff explored in festival by London Philharmonic(December 2011)
The London Philharmonic Orchestra presents Prokofieff: Man of the people? at the Southbank Centre (13 Jan – 1 Feb 2012).
A major Prokofieff series, programmed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra's Artistic Director Vladimir Jurowski, offers a rich reappraisal of the Russian composer. The festival contains five all-Prokofieff orchestral concerts at the Southbank Centre, readings from the composer's diaries by Simon Callow, a study day about his unknown Soviet works, a chamber concert, a classical club night curated by the composer's grandson Gabriel Prokofieff and a series of free foyer events performed by students from the Royal College of Music. Vladimir Jurowski shares the conducting honours with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Alexander Verdernikov, and soloists include violinist Janine Jansen, cellists Danjulo Ishizaka and Alexander Ivashkin and pianists Leon Fleisher and Steven Osborne.
No composer's reputation, output or overall creative legacy is more ripe for reappraisal than Serge Prokofieff's. Despite being one of the most popular 20th-century composers, Prokofieff remains one of the most misunderstood. Satirist or classicist? Melodist or modernist? Exile or patriot? Prokofieff can so easily feel like an artist of illogical contrast and contradiction.
Vladimir Jurowski explains how he feels that "there has been a reluctance to recognise Prokofiev as a genius because of how his politics are understood. After escaping the restrictive creative environment of his homeland in 1918, moving to the USA and then Paris, Prokofiev felt compelled to return to the Soviet Union in 1936, bearing the brunt of artistic censorship until his death in 1953.
"This festival gives us the opportunity to gain a more in-depth understanding of him as a composer and as a man, enriching the black and white over- simplified view that tends to be held – especially in Britain. By sidestepping his popular output and looking at his lesser-known works for the concert hall, stage and screen we will try to analyse his work in terms of its relationship with neighbouring art forms, and his connection or otherwise with fellow composers. We'll be giving the world-première performance of an unknown oratorio version of the music Prokofiev wrote for Eisenstein's film Ivan the Terrible, prepared by his confidant Levon Atovmyan. We are starting out on a new journey to discover the vulnerable soul that lies behind the façade."

There is a saying, "healthy is as healthy does." I really believe that.
In my 30 years teaching nutrition in home economics and family and consumer science, I always told my students there are a lot of ways to burn calories and there are a lot of foods that provide calories, but the final word on whether you gain or lose weight depends on calories in and calories burned.
In the past five years, there has been so much emphasis on television on healthy eating, but we still have a society of people with weight problems. I have to commend our first lady, Michelle Obama, for the interest she has taken in America's young people.
Even school cafeterias are serving much healthier food than when I was in school. Hot dogs, pinto beans and homemade doughnuts were weekly options then. Can you imagine the elevated levels of sodium, fat and carbohydrates that were in the lunches four decades ago? Not so now. School lunches have baked foods that were once fried and healthier fresh vegetable options, an overall win for students.
I can remember growing up when there were not as many fast food options. In southern Hardin County, there was one restaurant we sometimes visited on Sunday after church. It was called The Martin Box because it was run by the Martin family and it was west of Four Corners on U.S. 62. My dad, a native of Boston, Mass., and a restaurant cook himself, knew how important it was to dine out and it was a great time for teaching manners while eating away from home.
I'm not sure when fast food arrived in Elizabethtown, but I remember as a high school student old enough to date, there was a Jerry's and Lincoln Car Hop on the south side of town, Dairy Chef across from the city cemetery and Moo Dairy Queen on the same side as the hospital where French's Dry Cleaners is now. While dating, many couples cruised from the south side of town to Jerry's, which also had curb service, and back to Car Hop. Thank heavens the cost of gasoline wasn't what it is today.
Between then and now, the nation has become a fast food haven and many more opportunities for a "sit-down" dinner exist, too. Portions are large, as if they're feeding a farm hand, and choices vary. It should have made eating healthy easier, but as long as you have loaded baked potatoes and sweet potatoes, king- size desserts and sugary signature drinks, our society is going to continue to get larger.
I learned a long time ago — and especially know now, being a senior — that our metabolism slows as we get older and we have to be disciplined to make wise choices. Riding the recumbent bicycle at the gym for 30 minutes and noting the calories burned didn't allow me to make those unhealthy choices. In 1987 when I became a Lifetime Weight Watchers member, I vowed to myself to never gain it back. Ha. I wasn't thinking clearly as I thought the same thing after getting to goal weight with LA Weight Loss. And now I find myself still fighting the fight and trying to be more active to help burn those calories while at the same time I limit calories.
Today, I want to give you some food for thought. Look at the nutritional information for fast food. Even though some are made to appear healthy, you may be surprised. If they are limiting fat, they are making up the flavor with something else. Here are some suggestions.
If you are a fan of Dr. Oz, you know he often offers healthy recipes. The recipe for the energy bar is delicious. Check the nutrition labeling on energy and fiber bars. It doesn't always mean they are healthy.
The second recipe is from Rachel Torres, my yoga instructor at Energy Sports and Fitness. I love raw spinach in a salad, but I have not tried this one. Be brave and give it a try. Let me know your thoughts.

1 cup quick oats
½ cup peanut butter

3 tablespoon honey

What do a beat boxing cellist; a college president who was the first woman and first American to row solo across the Atlantic; the first African American international chess grandmaster and a double-leg amputee who climbed the highest mountain in Africa have in common? They're all Thrivals. They don't just survive, but thrive in odds-defying conditions and quests.
Exhibit A: 23-year-old Kevin Olusola, from Owensboro, whose five-member electro-pop a cappella group Pentatonix won season three of NBC's "The Sing Off." Olusula was a musical prodigy at age four, playing complicated melodies by ear without any training. By age six, he was well on his way to mastering the cello. Listen to how he makes those strings sing in this video:
We met up with Olusola at the Thrivals 5.0 event during the Idea Festival in Louisville last fall. The term "Thrivals" was invented by futurist, thinker, and University of Louisville professor Nat Irvin who wanted to redefine "out of the box" thinkers and doers; those who embody the ingenuity of the human imagination, often in the face of tremendous obstacles and menial expectations.
Last year, Olusola was in the company of Tori Murden McClure, an athlete with herculean determination to row across the Atlantic Ocean; Maurice Ashley, the first black international grandmaster of chess; and Spencer West — who despite losing both legs at age 5 from a genetic disease — climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.
The road to wisdom and courage isn't traveled in a featherbed, and Spencer West knows that axiom all too well. Listen to him describe his quest to redefine what's possible for those deemed impossibly limited.
In 2008, Spencer West took a volunteer trip to Kenya where he helped build a school in a rural community and from there began his quest to advocate for human rights, poverty eradication and education.
If you need to reboot your New Year's resolutions – these questers featured in last week's 'Connections' provide more than enough inspiration.
We all need to recharge every now and then and be reminded of those among us who answer mammoth calls to adventure to redefine what's possible for us all.

Inca Trail Tours and Travels
About Inca Trail
The most famous Inca path through the Andes is known simply as the 'Inca Trail' – the royal route to Machu Picchu. This spectacular 44km-long trail crosses three stunning high passes and weaves its way between many ancient archaeological sites before culminating at the legendary Lost City of the Incas. There are few treks in the world that combine spectacular natural beauty and enigmatic history with such an awe-inspiring final destination.Read More
The Inca Trail is only a small portion of an extensive road system that ran from Ecuador to Argentina, parts of which were built by cultures pre-dating the Inca Empire. Intended to move caravans of people, goods and armies across the vast empire, the Inca roads were also essential to the postal system. Stationed at 1.4km intervals, relay runners, known as chasqui, would carry information along the road, either verbally or stored in quipu - a talking knot.
Today, hiking the Inca Trail is an incredibly rewarding experience with each day brining something new and exciting to your eyes. The three passes offer the most stupendous views with fascinating ruins nearby, from the aqueducts of Sayacmarca to the small stone baths of Phuyupatamarca. As the spectacular landscape gradually changes from rugged high-altitude terrain to lush sub-tropical land, so too does the colour and smell of the vegetation, from towering eucalyptus trees to exotic orchids and flowering tobacco plants that are simply irresistible to the impish hummingbird. Each night is spent at a different camp site so as the sun sets you can relax and reflect on the incredible scenery and wildlife, from energetic rabbit-like viscachas to playful spectacled bears.

Arsenal face West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
With Stats Zone, you can brush up on the facts and figures behind every Gunners match this season, brought to you by Opta and the Official Matchday Programme.
- Mikel Arteta is one of 14 outfield players to have played every minute of the Premier League season so far (1,350). The players who have featured in the league for Arsenal this season are:
- Arsenal lead the Premier League for successful passes in the opposition half this season. The top 10 is as follows:
The return of Wojciech Szczesny has been a huge boost to Arsenal, and the Poland international has been in inspired form in recent weeks despite the team's struggles. His opposite number on Saturday, Boaz Myhill, has stepped into the breach after usual No 1 Ben Foster sustained a groin injury. Both will be key figures this weekend.
Former Hull goalkeeper Myhill has done well since his promotion into the Baggies side, but has conceded two goals more than Szczesny despite having played one game less. Szczesny has kept two clean sheets in his six appearances, and has made more saves (22 to 18) than Myhill. The 22-year-old also tends to make marginally more saves per game than his opposite number, and saves a far greater percentage of shots (88.6 per cent to 69.2 per cent).
Both sides have been praised for their attractive, passing football this season - but it is the men between the posts who could be central at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
ARSENAL v SWANSEA CITY - FACTS
- Peter Odemwingie has scored in two of his three Premier League appearances against Arsenal
- West Brom have never kept a clean sheet in their 12 Premier League games against Arsenal, conceding 28 goals in total
- In the last six league meetings between the Gunners and West Brom, there have been five goals scored in the opening 10 minutes
- Ten of the 16 goals (63 per cent) Arsenal have conceded this season have been down to unforced errors, a higher proportion than any other side
- Arsenal have won just three of their last 10 Premier League home games (W3 D4 L3)
- West Brom have not lost three league games in a row since January, 33 games ago
- The Baggies have kept only one clean sheet in their last 24 Premier League away games
- Arsenal have scored five or more goals in four Premier League home games in 2012, more than any other side
- Santi Cazorla has provided only one assist in his last 11 Premier League appearances
- If games lasted 80 minutes in the Premier League, West Brom would be second

I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!
Love the chocolate coconut nests - haven't seen any this year. I love jelly beans- but not the cheap kind - like the softer type
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
I love anything chocolate and anything coconut, but I think I'm going to avoid them the rest of my life. I want to avoid all desserts. I have to discipline myself to stay away from carbs...right now I'm addicted to bread and potatoes and it shows. Jelly beans never enticed me.
"Hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all."
I love chocolate and coconut too!!! At first glance those "nests" just don't look tasty. I'm sure they taste great though!
I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!
