Can hitting the mall tell you whether or not you're ovulating? It's probably not time to throw out that basal thermometer just yet, but when it comes to tracking ovulation, how much you shop—and what you spend your money on—may pinpoint days of peak fertility, says researchers from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.
The study, published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology, was based on 59 female participants who kept detailed diaries chronicling such habits as time spent shopping, clothing choices, grooming and beautification routines (ie visiting a hair salon), sun bathing, and calorie consumption. When the 35-day experiment was over, it quickly became clear that women spent the most time and money on grooming, shopping, and appearance during their most fertile days (roughly day 8 to 15 of a 28-day cycle).
The explanation for women wanting to look their best when they're—coincidentally—at their most fertile? Researchers say it's actually no coincidence; the focus on outward appearance right around ovulation can probably be traced all the way back to cavewoman days.
"In ancestral times, women had to focus more time on mating-related activities during the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle, when the likelihood of conception was highest," explains lead researcher Gad Saad, professor of marketing at Concordia University's John Molson School of Business. Because those same psychological and physiological impulses live on in our DNA, Saad adds, ovulating women today engage in the 21st century equivalent: shopping for products that enhance their beauty and desirability.
But are women, especially those hoping to become moms-to-be, buying this theory? Not all of them.
"OK, so I read this study and then immediately looked at my credit card bill from last month. Sorry, but it looks like I am a 28-day shopoholic!" says Karen Kane from Boston, Massachusetts.
Do you notice changes in your shopping habits depending on your cycle? Do you care more about your appearance when it's time to start trying?

September 7th: Ritter Sport Milch + Weizenpops
I did tell you all I could have filled last weeks 'New product' review slots with several other alternatives! Carrying on our trend of chocolatey innovations, today we have another offering from our German pals Ritter Sport, who have recently released another two new bars to their range that fall outside of their seasonal limited editions i.e. two new permanent offerings! The first one which I'm reviewing today is this Ritter Sport Milch + Weizenpops ... hold that comment or e-mail asking me what that means :D ... it translates as Ritter Sport Milk & Wheat Puffs.
This new Milch + Weizenpops is the latest addition to the 250.0g range that is now made up of seven different offerings. The yellow colour packaging was only a slightly paler shade of yellow than the Cornflakes bar, though the branding and on-pack pictures were enough to differentiate it. The 6x6 blocked grid was easy to break up and the chocolate looked immensely appetising with the filling appearing even more plentiful that normal with the cream coloured centre clearly studded with the wheat puff cereal throughout.
The back of the wrapper described this bar as 'milk chocolate filled with a soft milk cream, sweet crisp wheat and hazelnuts'. The nut content wasn't something I was expecting, but it was a welcome surprise and as I will go into it was more than a welcome addition. Starting with the milk chocolate, it delivered on all expectations, bringing a full bodied sweet chocolatey flavour base. The filling inside was very much as described and had a softer, crumblier texture whilst reinforcing the dairy centred flavours established by the chocolate. On their own, the wheat puffs may have tasted a little plain and thus been meaningless, however the small fragments of nuts brought a tasty woody savoury flavour note to the party, and this contrasted nicely with the sweeter creme and chocolate elements. Despite it's 250.0g size this was unfortunately one of those Ritter bars that was almost impossible to stop eating - you'll be surprised at the rate you make your way through it.
Overall the Ritter range is becoming so large and with it consisting of so many high quality offerings it seems all to easy to just dismiss this as another 'run-of-the-mill' offering. If one were to cast aside all that had gone before however, and view it as an independent chocolate in it's own right, then it would have to be seen as a very tasty offering that does a good job combining chocolate, milk and cereal. Some may argue that this is one of the plainer tasting Ritter's out there, but I would counter that by saying that the contrasting sweetness of the chocolate is great paired with the cereal and nuts - trust me it will keep coming back for more. Would I buy it again? Perhaps not for myself, but as a 'safe' option for someone I know has plainer tastes I think this would be a great chocolate.

Ritter just don't know when to stop do they lol. I do like the sound of this one though. I used to eat sugar puffs by the lorry load when I was younger. I not only used to have them for brekkie but also when I came in from school. Putting them in a proper chocolate bar in a milk filling sounds ideal to me.
- September 07, 2011
I can't help but love Ritter. They always seem to come up with new + exciting flavours. Other companies seem to think that bringing out old flavours counts as bringing something new to the table. Ritter need patting on the back for making sure that what they do is always a genuinely new idea.
- September 07, 2011
- Justin said...
Is the filling 'milk' or 'yogurt' flavoured Jimbo? The Ritter sport yogurt has to be one of my favourite chocolates of all time. Its so annoying its such a pig to get hold of.
- September 07, 2011
Jim have you got any ideas what Ritter are going to do with their wrappers? It is like you were saying about Thorntons the other day. They are fast running out of colours to use aren't they lol.
- September 07, 2011
- Emma said...
This looks gorgeous. Anything with a milk and cream filling by these people always looks so lush. You're so lucky getting to review them all.
- September 07, 2011
RItter are just incredible in terms of the amount of chocolates they bring out each year. If they bring out 3 limited editions each season then thats a min of 12. Thats mental in itself but then they do stuff like this on top of all that. The poor people coming up with all these must be working over time lol.
- September 07, 2011
Great review Jim. I think you must now have the most complete collection of ritter sport reviews on the net. I find it amazing that one person has been able to review so many. If you ever need a hand you just need to say mate :-)
- September 07, 2011
Jim did you ever get to ask Ritter whether they were going to start selling more in the UK. They sure need to start doing so judging by this.
- September 07, 2011
Hey hun. The best ritter bar I would say I have ever tried is the one with the cornflakes in so I would be super keen to try this one if I ever saw it. I do like this sort of cereal especially cause when me and my brothers were younger we were never allowed to have it. Lol sugar puffs weren't allowed by my parents because they were seen as a naughty sugary cereal. Anytime that we did get to have them was like mega for us lol.
Rxxx - September 07, 2011
I know you always say you don't have any grudges against any brands etc but admit it jim you have a soft spot for ritter don't you :-P You seem to love everything they do. Them and hotel chocolat are blatantly faves of yours.

Are you ever going to start reviewing milka bars again? You haven't done us a milka review for ages now. Do you not like their chocolates anymore or something?
- September 07, 2011
Grrr I hate ritter reviews. The chocolate always looks so yum but we just don't get the chance to buy it.

- Neil said...
If I ever go to Germany I'm going to come back with one of every single Ritter they have ever created. These guys are epically cool. I so need to try more of what they do.
- September 07, 2011
Do you not get a little bored reviewing so many chocs from the one brand? I get bored if I have the same chocolate bar twice in a week lol. You seem to have to eat the same sort of chocolates for months on end sometimes.
- September 07, 2011
- Golden_Touch said...
Sorry to go off line of the review but has anyone else noticed how Tesco aren't selling the white chocolate with hazelnuts anymore? It used to be one of the only flavours that my local one did but now they have just reverted to just the marzipan and peppermint. It's so annoying I love that white chocolate one.
- September 07, 2011
- Andy said...
This looks delicious Jim. Great photo btw you can see all the cereal in the filling well clearly.
- September 07, 2011
Oh Ritter Sport guru one, what do you believe is the best ritter flavour ever made?
- September 07, 2011
- Kels said...
If you ever get bored trying all these lush looking chocs you do know that I'm available for hire ;-) my rates are good by the way. I will even let you send me the first lot for free to give you an idea of what I can do lol. Now how kind of me is that hey.

Yum yum this sounds very much like the RS olympia bar I once bought from this german deli. That was easily the best RS i've ever had the chance of having. I savoured every last block of that but not been able to buy it again since :(

- Nigel said...
Hey J
You see England last night? I know you said you didn't like watching that much but you said you still watched it last weekend. I thought they were far less convincing, Wales could easily have embarassed us.
Good working keeping us on top of what ritter are doing. Unless you look at the german bit of their site you can never tell if they have anything new coming out or not. At least we all know we have you who is on top of it all.
N - September 07, 2011
- Linda said...
Why did they have to put hazelnuts in their? They are so obsessed with putting nuts in everything, this would have been one that the kiddies would have loved but of course now they can't have it.
It really is a shame they decide to add nuts to so many of their chocolates for no apparent reason. It limits us so much. - September 07, 2011
- Zara said...
Everytime i see you review Ritter chocolates I convince myself that I need to buy some but i just never get around to it. If it was easier to buy their chocolates I would probs do so all the time but its just such a pain in the bum.
- September 07, 2011
- Ian said...
I'm a hardcore Ritter fan but I just can't keep up with these all. There must come up a point soon when they think enough is enough. Their factory must be the most complex thing ever having to make all these different flavours.
- September 07, 2011
For the millionth time in history I have mega ritter sport envy J. I so wish they would let me be a taste tester forthem :( I would be in my element.
- September 07, 2011
- Peter said...
Two new ones you say Jim? Oh go on, give us a clue what the second is. I don't want to have to cheat and look it up ;)
- September 07, 2011
What and where are the best places to find ritter chocolates in the UK? I'm not talking online but in shops I mean.
- September 07, 2011
Jim i forgot to ask did you ever find out what happened to that german grocery company that used to be up here on the blog? They like suddenly deisappreared off the face of the earth if I remember right.
- September 07, 2011
I don't get what people think are so special about ritter sport chocolates. I reckon anyone who has daily contact with them will just see them as another mars/nestle kind of entity. I think its just because they are a bit exotic to us that they come off as more special than they really are. You know what they say about desiring what you cant have.
- September 07, 2011
Errr could you make it anymore blatant that Ritter is a brand you like.
The brands you like and the ones you don't are becoming increasingly obvious these days Jim. It used to be that you were unbiased but now its like you dont even bother trying to hide what you do and dont like. Must try harder. - September 07, 2011
- Lauren said...
Im so annoyed with myself. I just spent 2 weeks out in Germany and bought loads of different chocolates to bring back in my hand lugagge on the way back. SIlly old me though lost my bag in the airport lounge *wub* I didn't have this ritter flavour in there but i had a lot of the mini packs with all sorts of different ones in. No chocolate for me though :(
- September 07, 2011
Ritter are so dumb not selling more of their chocolates here. Ones like this would go down a treat.
- September 07, 2011
- Carl said...
Show me a place I can buy this and Im all over it. Ritter sport don't know how much cash they are missing out on not providing us UK folk with their chocolate. I can imagine they would be best sellers if they brought the whole lot over for us.
- September 07, 2011
I know thorntons have copied the presentation style quite closely of ritter but we still don't have anyone here in England that does all these cream/milky fillings quite like ritter do. The closest thing we have to this sort of choc is the ferrero kinder stuff and frankly thats a little embarassing for a 19 yr old bloke to have to go buy. The only solution I see is that Ritter upsticks and come set up here in England :-) That would sort this all out.
- September 07, 2011
- Mike said...
I'm right in thinking that Ritter is an affordable German brand right1? What I mean by that is that they are like a cadburys equivalent for them correct?
If they are that is just wicked. Having a make of chocolate that creates new chocolates so often for prices you don't have to pay through the nose for would be perfect. We don't get anything like that here. - September 07, 2011
Do another ritter comp on twitter Jimbob. You know you want to ;)
- September 07, 2011
If I had the choice of bringing over one brand of chocolates from a different country ritter would have to be the one.
Their chocolat is so much better than lindt, milka etc. Those guys just don't compete for variety and quality. - September 07, 2011
- Andrew said...
I appear to be flying my own flag here. I don't fany this at all.
It looks to me for all the world it could be very bland. That wheat puff cereal is without any sugar on it. That is why they have to coat sugar puff cereal in copious amounts of sugar so it tastes of something. This doesn't excite me in the slightest im afraid. - September 07, 2011
Im embarassed to admit this but I only just realised the other day that ritter are from Germany. I only first saw them a few months ago and I just assumed they were a small british company.
It wasn't until I saw all your reviews that I finally clocked it. - September 07, 2011
I don't get this ritter obsession that alot of you people seem to have. By the sounds of it their chocolate isn't anything special at all. I don't think its fair you rate them highly all the time just based on the other things they put in there.
- September 07, 2011
What are some of you guys on! Ritter don't need to change their wrappers. Its the people that are copying them that need to sort themselves out. Ritter wrappers have looked like this since they started making chocolates. They have just had to put up with a load of crappy companies copying their style.
- September 07, 2011
- Ollie said...
Jim do you have any clue as to which of all their flavours is the most popular? If you have a good contact at Ritter Sport you should do an interview with them so we can get some answers from the horses mouth.
You think they would do that? - September 07, 2011
- Lee said...
Well its good to see one brand still stick with 250 gram sized bars. I saw cadburys had made their big ones 230 now. Why the hell did they do that? Did they not think people would notice or something.
- September 07, 2011
- Mysterio6_19 said...
FACT best Ritter flavour ever = the praline 1!
- September 07, 2011
Do ritter do any advertising? I had a look on youtube but couldn't find anything. I would be interested to see what their style is like, whether they go for a cadburys/mars mass approach or whether they try pull of a more lindt specialist thing. One gets the feeling it's going to be more of the everyday chocolate approach.
- September 07, 2011
- JK said...
Whats up with ritter being able to make their chocolates look so gd?
That filling bit there just looks way too tasty for it's own good. The thing is you could say that about all of their cream fillings. They always make sure they filling their chocolates so much full of them they always look so tempting. - September 07, 2011
- Lot-O-Choc said...
Ive got a bar of this on the way, excited to try it. You had the noisette one yet? Love it!
- September 07, 2011
- Rodzilla said...
I don't think I would be crazy about the texture of puffed wheat, I much prefer crunchier elements. The additional creme has me interested though. I hope these come out in the US.
Nice review as always, Jim. - September 07, 2011
- Jim said...
Hi All
What can I say guys? Thanks again for all the comments and all on the review. Ritter Sport seems to drag the feedback from so many of you. For one of the so called smaller companies you guys always seem to have so many positive things to say about them.
I can't say I blame you when the chocolate is this good. They never seem to compromise when it comes to their quality. This is no bad thing of course :D
One thing that a load of you have asked me today is why we get such a restricted range and whether they are going to expand their operations anytime soon? .... Well to be 100% honest with you guys I don't know :D Let me get back to you on that ... I like the idea someone had about doing some Ritter Sport interviews. I think that would be a great feature to have on the site one day.
JUSTIN - It doesn't have a yogurt tang. It's a creamy milky filling.
DAVID - They still have some colours left they haven't played around with :D I do see your point though. It wont be long before they run out.
BECKY - Yeah I do have a soft spot for them. I still rate their bars as I see it though, that is one thing I wont compromise on.
SALLY - I'm having a great deal of difficulty getting Milka bars for the moment. Watch this space as that could change soon. If it does expect an avalanche of reviews :D
ANON - Bored reviewing Ritter? Haha never!
NIGEL - The match last night sent me to sleep. Granted I was tired after work but genuinely no football game has sent me to sleep before.
LINDA - That is a question I ponder myself in next weeks Ritter review :D Answers on postcards the lot of you :D
NICK - Seemingly they went out of business.
LAUREN - Sorry for sounding evil but that made me laugh :D Poor you.
TIM - You're never to old to buy a Kinder chocolate bar :D
MIKE - I believe their bars retail between the 1-1.5 Euro mark.
LOTOChoc - Check out next week :D
RODZILLA - I wouldn't hold out too much hope of this being US bound but who knows eh!? A Roddy review special will be in order if it does I think :D
Thanks for the comments everyone. Im going to approach Ritter right now about a potential interview

im stupidly holding out a tiny glimmer of hope that this one might get released here. If you go to waitrose you can get the biscuits and nuts large ritter panel. Who knows, waitrose might just go crazy and decide to start selling this one too. We can but hope :-)
- September 07, 2011
Sugar puffs aren't my fave cereal but anything made by ritter is cool to me. It wouldn't be the first flavour I would buy if I were presented with the lot of them, thats not to say I wouldn't try it though m8 ;)
- September 07, 2011
- Ben said...
There are so many people trying to talk like they have a worthwhile opinion on something they've not ever tried before. What is the point ppl? Companies must hate it when people try talking about their products without any 1st hand experience. Its so stupid to form a view on just seeing something on the internet. Sadly most people on here don't understand that concept.
- September 07, 2011
You wouldn't believe what I would give just to try some of these ritter chocs you get to write about. I you better realise how lucky you are!
- September 07, 2011
Do these get sent to you straight from Germany or do they keep stock in the Uk? If they have some stock in the UK its even more stupid that they choose not to sell it.

hi this is my first ever comment. I hope you don't see me as sucking up here but I think your reviews are just brilliant. Quite how one guy can write about chocolate in such a detailled manner is just brilliant. Althought i haven't commented b4 I havebeen a long term reader.from afar. I felt like I had to write to you today because I wanted to side with you and say I loved this flavour 2. My friend thought it was a little bland but she doesn't know anything, lol she thinks that nestle crunch is better (see what I mean). I'm already looking forward to the next review. Thank you for maintaining such a wonderful blog I read everyday.

Yummy this looks very inviting. It would be a good thing it coming in such a big size for me. It wouldn't last long in my hands.

No area entrants make cut at USGA Mid-Amateur
Updated: September 9, 2012 9:34PM
LAKE FOREST — Red numbers were rare at the United States Golf Association Mid-Amateur on Sunday.
Only four players broke par at Conway Farms Golf Club and Knollwood Club as the 264-player field was cut to 64 for the start of the event's match-play portion on Monday. One player — Brad Valois of Rhode Island — broke par over the tournament's first 36 holes.
Valois' 68 at Conway Farms was the low round of the championship so far and gave him a two-day total of 1-under 141. The cut was set at 8-over 150, with nine players competing in a playoff for four spots on Sunday evening at Conway Farms.
Local competitors struggled over the 36 holes of stroke play.
Hinsdale 37-year-old Scott Rowe followed up his Saturday 77 with a 75 at Knollwood Club on Sunday, leaving him at 10-over 152. His double bogey on Knollwood's 415-yard 9th hole — his 18th of the day — left him outside the cut line.
Conway Farms member Andrew Price, 30, carded a 76 on his home course Sunday to finish at 154, four strokes off the cut. Price started on No. 10 and bogeyed hole Nos. 3 and 4 before launching a late rally with birdies on 7 and 8.
"I hit some good golf shots today, but I didn't make any putts and then I made a few mistakes that killed me," Price said. "I played the two worst rounds of my summer right now, which doesn't always help."
First-round leader Michael Castleforte of Chicago played poorly at Knollwood Club, shooting an 82 to miss the cut by a shot.
Glenview's Kyle Nathan went 80-78 to finish at 158.

Big Sur campground...... I have stayed in the Cabins you are under some huge redwoods http://www.bigsurcamp.com/ I love walking around Carmel, 17 mile drive, Monterey Bay Aquarium, http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/ The Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill in Cambria http://www.moonstonebeach.com/ you look out over the ocean!
Thanks, Pumpkin! I'm taking notes... We're definitely hitting the aquarium... Corpsie Jr. will love that. Big Sur and Carmel are also on the list of places we want to hit. Would you say the cabins in Big Sur are family friendly? Are they nice accommodations? Do you have to reserve in advance? We don't have a set itinerary so it's going to be tough to book early. Where is Cambria? I'll have to research that. If we go there I'll definitely check out the Moonstone.
Cambria is about 2 1/2 hours south from Monterey It was about ten years ago we stayed in the cabins, it's a cabin. Family friendly yes!!! Sent from my iPhone
OK farger's, I'm here now, so watch the backchat or else. I see Poofessoria has made a return, how unfortunate. Back shortly.
Same here now that Im on the iPad ............... what causes that BLEW ? I had some pics show up, but not all, very strange.
So what your basically saying is that we here, are a poor mans CMB for when you get booted from their ? I think we may need a meeting of the "Exec" to discuss whether we should let you post here if thats the case, we don't p;lay second fiddle toanyone I'll have you know !!! That reminds me...............how's young "basket" doing ?..................Oh and also my Mistress, aka Your Missus !!!!
Please tell me your joking ..... Poofessoria, when are you going to learn its time to keep the gherkin in the jar ?......... haven't you learn't from the past at all ? Your a bigger glutton for punishment than "yours truly". OK, so is she older than your kid's at least this time ????
OK, this has to be the wake up call of all "wake UP" calls ................. Corpsie (aka Dear Bag of Bones) giving relationship advice, you know you've hit lower than sharkshit level now Poofessoria. How's the "shagga's back" going mate ? Still a no go for the pilates and yogi berra I'm gathering ? Bet your still walking around in that clobber though, aren't you !!
The aquarium is a superb day out, highly recommend it, hell, I spent about 8 hours there, awesome place. Pumpy drove me around the 17 mile drive, gorgeous place, truly is one of the most beautiful sights on earth. Hey, why not have Pumpy be your guide ?....it's not like he's busy these days and I'm sure he would be more than happy to put you and MY Missus and kid up at his joint as well, why spend money on cabins ?
Oz, meet Blitzy, aka Poofessoria, and Der Blitzen from the old CMB days. Having meet him in person, I can assure you he is infact Male looking ..................but of very dubious testosterone levels I must add. He may infact be a Hermaphrodite for all I know !!! Here ................ make up your own mind !!!
Yes, I am willing to relenquish the title over to Poofessoria .............. long shall the "Rainbow Rule"
No Sherlock !!!! So a Cabin is actually ................a CABIN. Who'd have thunk that ? Nice one "Charger Tommy" !!!!
Damm, Jackie got some sleep! Hahahahahahahahahaha But, Blues updated pic is so much better! Sent from my iPhone
Most often it's not what you say, but how you really say it. A sincere "Hi" and improvising (read & react) is good as long as you are not a fumbling & bumbling fool ;-)
Actually Jack, lawyers and attorneys can be very good at picking up women. Any good one who is worth his own salt, can be quite a linguistic gymnast. Plus those fcukers are very well adept at something called push-pull technique which they often use to lure in clients (charm) and then scare 'em sheetless one lockep-up as a client to take the deal on the table! Same principles apply to relationships, i.e, certain amount of charm combined with a little bit of mental anguish when called for. "Speak softly and carry a big stick" ;-) But then again, you wouldn't know that Yer Big Wanker, would Ya? After all, all that you carry is a wet noodle behind your bark

Arthritis and Happiness
By: Import User
Updated: January 19, 2009
Now a study of about 6,000 patients from 25 countries shows the painful condition is tougher on women, too.
Researchers say women reported more severe symptoms associated with their rheumatoid arthritis, and were less likely to be in remission.
The reason for the gender difference is unclear.
Are you happy?
Apparently, most americans are not; that's according to a recent happiness survey.
According to recent survey data, 14 percent of americans say they are "not too happy."
Happiness scores have not been this low since 1972.
Researchers say the economy could be to blame.
Being married is the single biggest predictor of happiness.
People who were in a committed marriage had the most "very happy" responses.

Why Riga?
This is what the world is talking about
A four-headed delegation from Riga, European Capital of Culture 2014, has come to Germany this week. Under the direction of Diāna Čivle, Director of Foundation Riga 2014, business talks were held and answers given to questions like "Why Riga?"
As reported earlier, Riga (Latvia) is host city of the 8th World Choir Games (WCG).
"We're proud that we were able to bring the World Choir Games to Riga in 2014," said Diāna Čivle during the discussions. Latvia with its musical people an rich traditions is well prepared already and appeared as its best in presentations and short films.
Romāns Vanags, Artistic Director of the WCG 2014, is delighted: "We seized the idea of Imants Kokars and made it to bring the World Choir Games to Latvia in 2014. We're looking forward to choirs from around the world!" The famous conductor Imants Kokars (†) was the Latvian representative in the World Choir Council until 2008. He was one of the initiators and supporters of the idea to bring the World Choir Games to Latvia one day.
Further parts of the conversations were artistic details regarding the venues as well as the presentation of the country in Cincinnati. The Latvian hosts in 2014 will introduce their country, the city of Riga and the Latvian choral tradition to participating choirs at this year's 7th World Choir Games. Since the signing of the contract the WCG 2014 have been meeting with great interest and "it's a big chance for choirs in Europe to be part of this," says Vanags.
The World Choir Games, the largest choir competition among the INTERKULTUR events is taking place every two years. For the first time ever it's in the USA, in Cincinnati in July 2012.

He was probably one of, if not my favorite character from the Dresden Files. I've always had a soft spot for boyscout paragon types, and Michael was basically as good and noble a hero as you're likely to find anywhere.

As far as I know in the books she never used any armor, but since she made Michael's I think it's safe to assume she had a spare for herself.
Kara wrote:First of all, excellent builds for The Dresden Files. I particularly like the fact that he is such a (relatively) low level, which fits better with the style of the books. He might throw around a lot of fire, but he's not so good with the aiming and defensively his only choices seem to be either dodging a lot and letting the enchanted coat soak a little, or standing still and throwing up a strong magical shield. In particular, I am very grateful for you writing builds for his integral network of family and friends. He relies so much on them, despite his constant attempts to keep them out of his world for fear of losing his loved ones, that I would never use a build for Dresden without using builds for at least some of his friends.Woodclaw wrote:Charity Carpenter

As far as I know in the books she never used any armor, but since she made Michael's I think it's safe to assume she had a spare for herself.
And I believe Charity did indeed have a suit of chainmail to fit herself, which she wore during the events that you refer to when you mention Queen Mab's gates. She also has a few extras in a variety of sizes, along with additional medieval weaponry.
Arkrite wrote:Loving the Dresden builds.
Charity looks pretty good to me. She's packing some serious muscle, some serious melee skill, and she's got the skills to make armour and weapons for her husband.
She did have a few sets of chainmail to go around at one point, but nothing quite as nice as the platemail/kevlar combo she made for her husband.
Honestly? Every time I read anything about Michael I can't help but feel a deep pang of jealousy. The guy is pure awesome knight in shining armour and he has a loving and devoted family.
And one of the revelations he makes in one of the later books to Harry ratchets him another level up.
All in all the Carpenters are epic level humans in a mundane world ;~)

Muscle straining!
Short Summary created by paddyhillsbagger

Shortest route for this top is from
(Point A)
where a fence guides you up the short steep climb to the more gentle summit slopes. A low wall guides you northwards to the low summit cairn. Fine views of Glencar and Keelogyboy range. A muscle straining half-hour climb.

It's surprising that the group of hills that Crockauns is in has had so few comments since it is a magnificent wild place, with very little sign of recreational use though there is some active sheep farming. In 2005 the area including Cope's Mtn, Crockauns, Hangman's Hill and Keelogyboy was declared a Natural Heritage Area with restrictions on many types of activity including commercial recreational. There is a report of a sign opposing hillwalking (see http://www.keepirelandopen.org/newsletter_08_2009.html ) however we saw no such signs on our visit.
One place to park is at around
(Point B)
on the public road. Note that the various sheep pens made of both concrete and wire fence are in use so do not block them or impede vehicles towing trailers. Crockauns is just 1km nearly north of this vicinity however it is possible to walk further into the valley (east) and then find some rough tracks that lead up the SE shoulder of the hill. It is then possible to walk the irregular 1.4km ridge to Crockauns.
The photo is looking west and shows the distinctive weathering pattern of the limestone resulting in the bluffs to the right and then the shadow-covered Knocknarea beyond the buildings of Sligo. On the skyline towards the left is Knocknalongy in the Ox Mountains. Faint and on the central skyline is Slieve Car in the Nephin Begs, an amazing 89km away.

For a more challenging approach to Crockauns, also taking in 8 other neighbouring tops, a starting point is Doon Lough (
(Point C)
). This allows a traverse of the range of hills framing Glencar to the south, from Leean Mountain in the east to Copes Mountain in the west. Smaller than the big lads to the north but every bit as beautiful, dramatic and exciting.
Having camped on the summit of Keelogyboy SW Top I had a birds eye view across to the escarpment line that makes up Crockauns and Copes Mountains as early mist rose and dissapated under an April sun. An easy enough drop brought me down past the very shapely flanks of the Keelogyboys, contouring to the north below crags and patches of scree. A busy stream appeared out of nowhere and headed off on its merry way as i looked over Sligo Bay.
Cross a sizeable area of level ground which looked like it would be pretty wet but was easy enough. This reaches an old track which peters out before an abandoned farm building and the road alluded to in other comments. The steep slopes and crags stand high above this lonely road and made a beautiful canvas. Crossed the fence at side of the road and climbed up steep cropped grass amongst sheep, lambs and wind sculpted trees. This was just to the right of prominent point 374m (
(Point D)
) below a prominent crag line. At this cragline came upon a little grotto with an alter, statue and plaque with a roof of rock overhanging providing shelter. A wild place and i am sure a memorable experience if present when mass celebrated.
Continue to end of cragline and then uphill along a fenceline. Ravens were soaring above and landing on high points of rock as i passed remenants of the deep snow fall before Easter - some in the numerous sinkholes. Old stone walls and enclosures were being reclaimed by the land as i found the small cairn at the summit. Views were impressive to the high hills to the N, including Truskmore and Slievemore and down into the lough in Glencar. To the S & W views stretched into Atlantic and out along the coast to the Nephin Beg mountains, over Lough Gill and the other hills that i had walked over to get here. I continued on to Copes Mountain before the trek back to the car at Doon Lough.
An area of hills which feel and look wild and remote yet are never far from major centres of population. Easy to lose yourself amongst for a couple of days with all sorts of rewards and challenges within easy reach.

Crockauns from the west.
19 Dec 2009
Crockauns is mentioned in Mountaineering in Ireland [Claude Wall] so: "The Castlegal Mountains, south of Glencar, are somewhat neglected owing to the proximity of the Dartry range, but they provide a good ridge walk with many rock outcrops on a moderate scale. ... This range rejoices in the Gaelic name of Slieve gan Baiste or 'the mountains without rain'." Like Claude we had a rain free day there!
While near the summit we suddenly saw a large predatory bird flying beneath us, which appeared to have artificially bright colours. Judging by other GPS sightings as recorded here http://www.goldeneagle.ie/portal.php?z=226 we were seeing Conall, a male Golden Eagle chick originally released in Glenveagh National Park in 2009.
The photo shows Crockauns from the west. Surprisingly the ground underfoot on Crockauns is shortish grass, while most of the ridge from where the photo is taken is covered in heather on bog which is 1 to 2 m deep. There is an abrupt transition between the two forms of landcover which seems to be natural.

View across Glencar to Truskmore from Crockauns summit
A fine view point.

I climbed Crockauns on 5 May 2012 as part of a round of other tops in the Castlegal group of hills. (For previous part of the route see my comments on Hangman's Hill.) Having descended N from Hangman's Hill, to the broad grassy valley below, we headed W making for a distinctive gap between two twin eastern outliers of Crockauns (Pt.374 and an unmarked top of 380m) where we picked up a narrow intermittent rough track which led us up to
(Point E)
where we crossed a fence and followed an old raised stone ditch WNW (keeping it on our right side.). At
(Point F)
we had the option of following a wall/ditch which branched off NW and could have been followed to another junction at
(Point G)
before turning left and walking WSW to the top. This may have an advantage that it may present views across Glencar as it follows the line of the N escarpment of the hill. However we opted to continue W along the ditch, keeping it to our right, and up to
(Point H)
before heading NW up the heathery hillside to the top, the cairn for which we could soon see ahead
(Point I)
, and which at 483m was the highest point on our round. From the top here was a fine view across N to the high Dartry escarpment capped by Truskmore, while to the S we could see Lough Gill and nearer to hand the three Keelogyboy Tops and Hangman's Hill. NW we could see Cope's Mt., our next and final hill of the round, beckoning to us some 1.6k further on. Had we wished to finish at this point we could have returned to our start point for the day
(Point J)
by retracing our steps back to the valley floor and then by going W around Pt.374 or we could have followed madfrankies shorter but steep route down along a fence to the start.

Crockauns - follow the fence.
8 Feb 2010
A slight alternative to Simon's approach would be to continue along the road for a short distance to a passing place at about 764 403 where there's room for one car. A fence points the way uphill and a steep half hour was endured, but lovely views SE to Hangman's Hill and the Keelogyboy tops were enjoyed as legs screamed in protest.
Once we were up onto the plateau, a low stone wall was followed almost to the summit. From the summit cairn (into which someone has jammed a walking pole) there are good perspectives towards the higher Dartrys.

Documents: Adkins Threatened Hailey, Billie's Lives
-->By: Laura Kellerman
Updated: January 13, 2011
The affidavits filed for the purpose of obtaining the six search warrants* reveal more than "inconsistencies" with the family's statements � they reveal alarming details. The documents filed by investigators do not impute guilt or innocence.
Fascination with violence
Investigators found a box of hundreds of pages printed off the internet about brutal crimes in the bedroom of Adkins and Billie Dunn. The stories were about mass murders, serial killers, sexual sadism, and murders of family members. Billie said she had printed them at work and brought them home for Adkins. The topics were a hobby, she said.
A family member told investigators he was speaking to Adkins and said he couldn't believe anyone would hurt a little girl, and Adkins replied, "Yeah, it's like killing a deer."
Witnesses said Adkins often talked about killing deer and cutting them up with chainsaws, and that he was obsessed with horror and slasher movies and watches them daily.
December 27th
Adkins told investigators he'd been fired from his job at WSI in Snyder on the morning of Dec. 27, the day he last saw Hailey, after an altercation with his supervisor. His employer said he came in at 6 a.m., bought a Dr. Pepper in the break room, looked at his supervisor without saying a word, and walked out at 6:10 a.m.
Adkins said he went straight to his mother's house in Big Spring, but cell phone records show his phone was used in Colorado City from 6:35 to 6:56 a.m. It was then used in Big Spring several times between 9:38 a.m. and 2:40 p.m.
Adkins told investigators that Hailey said she was going to her father's house, then to a friend's house. Hailey never went to either.
Clint Dunn, Hailey's father, said his son, David, went back to Billie's house at 4 p.m. and pounded on the door for for about five minutes before climbing through a window and saw Adkins with a "deer in the headlights" look. Billie Dunn told investigators the same thing.
Friends and family said it was uncharacteristic for Hailey to leave the home without checking in with her mom. Personal items like a toothbrush, hairbrush, contact solutions. New iPod, and jacket friends say she wouldn�t leave home without were left behind. The weather was cold and Hailey was seen by Adkins leaving the home without a jacket.
She knew the area well enough that getting lost wasn't a possibility. There are no witnesses who saw Hailey leave the home on Monday.
During one of the initial interviews with Adkins after Hailey's disappearance, when investigators asked Adkins who they should look at, he responded "both of us," referring to himself and Billie.
Adkins voluntarily handed over his cell phone to investigators. They looked through his text messages and call history, then proceeded with the interview. Some of the statements Adkins made contradicted what investigators saw on the phone, and when they asked to see it again, he "deleted the exact information the investigators were requesting to see."
Early in the investigation, Adkins had only good things to say about Hailey. As things continued, he made specific negative comments about her behaviors.
Polygraph problems
Adkins has been interviewed numerous times and volunteered for a polygraph three times. The first to time he walked out and refused to cooperate. On the third try, deception was indicated meaning Adkins failed. He failed on the relevant questions of knowing the whereabouts of Hailey Dunn. Adkins was asked where Hailey could be found and he made a positive indication Hailey could be found in Scurry County, Texas. Adkins refused to participate in the last part of the test.
Billie Dunn volunteered for a polygraph twice. On the first occasion, the test couldn�t be given because Dunn was believed to be under the influence of narcotics. When she took the test, it indicated she failed the polygraph on the relevant questions of participation in the disappearance of Hailey Dunn.
Drug activityDunn and Adkins told investigators that a $140 ATM withdrawal on Dec. 27, the evening they thought Hailey was at her friend's house, was for purchasing drugs.
Post-disappearance party
Dunn and Adkins had friends over for drinks on New Years Eve, three days after reporting Hailey's disappearance.
*The search warrants were used for cell phone records and a search of the car jointly owned by Billie Dunn and Shawn Adkins. The warrants were signed by Mitchell County Judge Ray Mayo.

That's about "proportional spacing". The editor uses a font where all the characters (letters, numbers, spaces) are the same width, but most folks' display settings use a font where "i" and "l" are much narrower than "m" and "w" (and others are in between), thereby screwing up the alignment. (Using a proportional font also in the editor wouldn't necessarily help, since the width ratios can vary from font to font.)Editted to add that as pasted into the reply box the chords are spaced over the lines at the correct point to play them. As displayed the chords all get scrunched up on the left so you'll need to work out where to change. Sorry; dunno what that's about.
The way to get around that is to enclose the text you want displayed as monospace (equal width) in "code" tags (that's the icon to the right of the quote balloon icon in the editor's toolbar). It will then display in a box like a quote box, but with a monospace font. Like this:
