BJ's Wholesale is offering some good discounts on various gift cards, including 20% off Amtrak, 15% off Hotels.com, 16% off Uber, 20% off Chipotle, 20% off Red Robin, and more.
The Deal
- Save on several popular gift card types at BJs wholesale:
Key Details
- Online only
- Valid through 12/9/18
- Note that some cards have gone in and out of stock a couple of times, so check back if the one you want isn't available
Quick Thoughts
These discounts aren't bad. I don't know if a time when there has been a similar discount on Amtrak cards before (though I admittedly don't often shop for Amtrak gift cards). These discounts get a little better if you're using a Chase Freedom card or Discover IT card since this quarter's bonus categories include Warehouse Clubs. You should be able to earn 5x/5% back (keep in mind the $1500 quarterly cap). It's also worth going through a shopping portal to potentially stack an even better discount.
Doctor of Credit notes a max of three per customer, but at least one commenter on that site notes having purchased and received more than 3 without a problem. YMMV.
This without a membership can buy an online-only membership for $10 per year. You can find membership information here.

Customer Reviews
I removed the unnecessary and bulky piece of leather that secures the second keeper. I felt it increased the profile of the strap too much relative to the rest of the band. Now it's just a simple single pass NATO style without the extra layers that were only used to secure just one of the keepers. Now the keeper floats more than the 3/4 inch or so it did before but with leather the keepers tend to stay in place fairly well due to friction. So I really think this attempt by Colareb to secure the keeper was just not needed. The strap quality is excellent and conforms perfectly to my 7.25" wrist. The length is perfect with no need to do that bulky tuck so often required on NATO straps. This one is about 10 inches and it's perfect. The 11 and 12 inch NATO are just too long for my taste. I also switched out the buckle to one that is a bit longer by a few mm but less thick. The one it came with had a very sharp edge and it dug into my wrist. I used a premium buckle from Cincinnati Strap Company and it is much more comfortable. Is it worth $70? No. It should be more in the $50 range. This strap is thin and of course only one piece. Relative to other Colareb straps this one is much less substantial and structured. The more I think about it should be more like $40.
I have been a huge fan of ColaReb straps for years now. When I purchased a new Seiko Samurai I needed to take it to a new level so this ColaReb strip strap was the logical choice. The Samurai is a large, thick watch and I did not want a leather nato strap that had two layers underneath and a big blob of leather to fold over. This ColaReb Strip Strap is nothing short of awesomeness. It looks rough and rugged and with only the one layer of leather the watch lays nice and snug to my wrist. Easy to take on and off it is in total keeping with the "strap monster" status of this Samurai. Love it, love it, love it!! I tried to include photography that shows all sides of this gorgeous piece of hand-crafted leather from Italy. If you are considering this strap I highly recommend it.
Purchased this watch band to compliment my new Steinhart Ocean 2. The band has a great feel and is light enough that one doesnt realize its on the wrist. The only downfall as the day wears on, one needs to loosen the band because the large buckle does indent the underside of the wrist. if you prefer your watch to be worn loosely then this wont be a problem. overall satisfied.

It's Time to Turn Up the Heat this Summer Special Session Needed to Keep Men out of Women's Bathrooms!
Jared Woodfill
Conservative Republicans of Texas
The 85th Texas Legislative Session has come to an end. Many of our priorities, including keeping men out of women's bathrooms, showers and locker rooms (Senate Bill 6), property tax reform (Senate Bill 2), and school choice (Senate Bill 3), died on the vine in the Texas House. Conservative activists across the state are calling for a special session to finish the business the legislature left undone. Over the past few days, many have asked about the details of a special session. This article will help answer some of those questions.
What is a Special Session? A special session of the Texas Legislature is a convening of state lawmakers outside the constitutionally mandated 140-day regular session. The Texas Constitution says special sessions may last a maximum of 30 days but does not set a minimum duration.
Why didn't the Texas Legislature pass Senate Bill 6, requiring men to stay out of women's bathrooms, showers, and locker rooms? Joe Straus single-handedly killed SB 6. Specifically, he would not even allow our duly elected state representatives to vote on the bill. As you recall, SB 6 passed the Senate 21-10 and then sat on Speaker Joe Straus' desk gathering dust for months. Speaker Straus is elected by his colleagues in the House. This mistake cannot happen again.
Thanks to the strong leadership of our Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and the conservative members of the Texas Senate, Governor Greg Abbott at a minimum must call a special session to reauthorize the Texas Medical Board under the Sunset provisions of Texas law. We are requesting that he also include the language found in SB 6. I am hopeful that Governor Abbott will not compromise on this issue. We must pass legislation to protect the privacy and safety of women and children in Texas.
When can a special session be called? Texas Constitution, Article 4, Section 8(a) allows the governor to call a special session at any time.
Are there any notice requirements? Texas Constitution, Article 4, Section 8(a) is applicable on this issue also. No notice is required.
What can the Texas Legislature consider during the special session?
Article 3, Section 40 of the Texas Constitution limits the issues to those chosen by the Governor.
How many issues can be dealt with during the special session?
Texas Constitution Article 3, Section 40 places no limitation on the number of topics a Governor can designate in a special session proclamation.
How many special sessions can be called? The Texas Constitution does not limit the number of special sessions a governor may call. There are two years between regular sessions. Additionally, the special sessions can be called back to back without a break in-between.
How long does a special session last? Texas Constitution Article 3, Section 40 limits special sessions to a maximum of thirty days but imposes no minimum.

This post was written by Monika Mundell
Not everything about Web 2.0 is cool. As a matter of fact, many bloggers feel totally over whelmed by sheer pressure and wonder what all the fuss is about.
As Yoda said in the famous Star Wars Movie, The Phantom Menace
Hard to see, the dark side is.
So what is the dark side of the Web 2.0 and how can we possibly avoid it? For starters, how about the time we spend online, trying to forge new friendships via the various social networking sites. Or how about feeling left behind because everybody and their dog seems to be on Twitter, Facebook or MySpace these days.
The fact alone that many of these sites pop up like cultured mushrooms all over the Internet is worry some enough.
Naturally, nobody holds a gun to our heads and says we have to participate in any of these networks/sites. However, if we don't we most likely loose not only track with what is going on web wide, but we also miss out on exciting events.
While I love networking, I long ago realized that it comes with a hefty price tag. That tag is called time.
Time your day with easy steps that work
While in the baby stages of my online business I joined anything and everything I came across, I soon realized that I was running myself into the ground by trying to do too much. Therefore I became an avid user of my very own Moleskine hack diary.
After trying countless online applications to track my time and even going as far as creating my own excel spread sheet to block together certain tasks every day, I quickly realized that this wasn't going to cut it.
I failed time and time again to stick to my self imposed schedule. Initially I blamed myself and fell into a deadly spiral of contemplation and procrastination.
What this means for you is that you have to run with what works for you personally. It is no good that everybody raves about [product] when you don't feel comfortable using it.
Since my trial and error days I have found a way to stay on top of my day, regardless of what happens.
Say no to annoying Distractions
How often do you check your emails every day? Then at the end of day you wonder where the time has gone. A quick chat on Skype can quickly turn into a 30 minute conversation and while it is great to stay in touch with your online buddies, it is also very counter productive.
Focus on your tasks at hand
I know, it really isn't easy to focus. What I found helped me is to concentrate on my list for the day and not open any other applications until my list is complete.
Do I always succeed at this?
No way, but I am getting better every week and as long as I see progress, I'm very happy. Plus, my work is done.
Take a break – you deserve it
I spend about 10 hours online every day. Some days it is longer and at other times I'm even taking a day off *gasp. The thing is, that it is easy to forget to smell the roses. We get so absorbed into our online activities/business that hours seemingly fly by and before we know it, another day has gone.
Every now and then reward yourself to step away from your computer. I do this by taking a couple of days off to recharge my batteries, watching a great movie at night or spend time with my pet birds during the day.
Having the freedom of being my own boss allows me to do this whenever I please and as long as my clients are happy and the work is done, I can kick back and relax.
Web 2.0 is great for many reasons, but please don't let it run your life. Yoda was right you know. It is easy to get sucked into all the hype and before we know it,Web 2.0 runs our life instead of the other way round.

This chemical compound is everyone's favorite soda. Commonly known as sodium bicarbonate or "bi-carb" for short, it is in fact, a salt. It taste just like a milder version of the salt you cook with. Baking soda has so many uses it's ultimately the number one thing to have in the home.
What makes baking soda so good
While baking soda is merely a simple chemical compound, it has so many uses from baking powder to pyrotechnics. Did you know baking soda makes for a good cleaning agent as well?
The keys to baking soda being such a good cleaning agent are,
It kills odour – it reacts to the odour, causing a reaction which neutralises the odour. This means baking soda doesn't disguise the smell, it actually removes the smell.
It works with vinegar – when adding vinegar to the mix it becomes the perfect natural cleaner. This is because they have an acid-base reaction . This is why it works well with unclogging drains and cutting through heavy grease.
It's slightly abrasive – Baking soda has little granules which help clean particles that form stains and other messes from surfaces.
10 Reasons why Every Home Needs Baking Soda
Getting rid of stubborn odors
Scrub your wet hands with baking soda (as if it were soap), then rinse in warm water. Your hands will smell nice and clean as well.
Salvage a burned pot
Scrape all food out and then fill the pan a quarter full of water. Pour in a half cup of baking soda and bring the water to a boil. Turn it off and let it sit overnight. In the morning, you can clean black gunk off with ease.
Cleanin drains
Try adding baking soda under hot running water to freshen the drain. Baking soda can even be used in combination with hot water to unclog a drain.
Get rid of smelling feet
Soak smelly feet for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse and dry. This will help cut down on odor and may also help ease athlete's foot.
Clean chopping/cutting boards
Mix baking soda with an equal part of salt and water to make a great scrubbing paste for plastic and wooden cutting boards.
Cleaning the barbecue
Make a paste from dish soap and baking soda, and apply it to the barbecue grill. Let sit for 15 minutes before scrubbing down and rinsing.
Cleaning pet beds and musty smelling furniture
For a natural, simple clean, sprinkle some on your pets bed, let it sit for a while, then vacuum up.
Deodorize the fridge
Mix 2 cups of the special soda with 20-30 drops of vanilla, orange and lemon essential oils, and place in an open jar in the fridge. This will absorb unpleasant scents and keep the fridge air clean.
Clean the tooth brush
Don't pass on bad bacteria to your mouth – soak your toothbrush heads in a mixture of ¼ cup baking soda and ¼ cup of water overnight and rinse the next morning.
Cleaning fruits and veggies
Mix water, baking soda and lemon juice and wipe fruits and veggies to remove wax.
There are so many more uses for this wonderful natural salt, so if you want to learn more uses, you can alos check out 36 Uses for Baking Soda.
Maybe you have some uses for baking soda that no else knows. If you do, please do share.

If you're already using Photoshop or another full-fledged graphic design app, you don't really need this one. Another potential drawback is the lack of Finder integration. Limited Mac compatibility: You cannot use it on Mac OS X 10.6 or older versions. From there, the app features a radial menu on the bottom that divides up Photogene's main functions, including crop, rotate, color adjust, effects presets, and retouching tools. As you progress, you'll need to draw racing lines around street ovals, curvy dirt tracks, and even Nascar and Formula speedways. After all, nobody likes to finish second... Be ready to invest in the paid version of the app, though. The designers have struck a great balance between form and function, allowing you to get to most common functions quickly while making the experience very pleasant. Download speed was not affected at all in our tests and the app doesn't take up many resources - both big pluses for this type of tool. CHRONOGRAPH 6.51 KEYGEN is a great idea, and although its interface is a little confusing, it could be a great way to raise money and awareness for certain causes. You can set the app to automatically delete uploaded documents so
that they don't take up space on your device.

In reply it didn't tart well with Neil Matthews 5 and Lee Henderson 0 opening the Batting. Michael Robbie add 9 before allowing Luke Richardson to the crease, he batted serbly on his birthday to reach 65 not out at the end of the innings. At the other end, Will Orchin 6, Chris Valance 10, Connor Henderson 0, Anthony Ashman 5, Chris Paton 15, Scott Gillan 0 and Ian Kitching 0. Left us 33 runs short of the Beamish total.
Whilst away at Beamish the seconds faired little better. Losing the toss and Batting first Rainton reached 110 all out. Colin Henderson 28, Tom Rennie 4, Stuart Archbold 24, Manna Seth 0, James Messer 5, Rich Harrison 7, Darren Portrey 10, Graham Avent 5, Robert Kitching 1, Derrick Steinberg 11 and John Murray 0 not out.
After a nice tea (chilli today) beamish batted and we're 70 for 9. However a superb rear guard action by I Dowson 58 not out and young D Brunton 4 not out saw them over the line. Bowling: Darren Portrey 4 for 22, Derrick Steinberg 3 for 22, Richard Harrison 1 for 12, Manna Seth 1 for 32, James Messer 0 for 9 and Tom Rennie 0 for 10.

Microsoft has just released Windows 10 Build 14383 to Windows Insiders in the Fast Ring. The company released 15 builds last month, and this is the first release of this month. It is unlikely we will see a tonne of build releases this month, as we are less than a month away from the release of Windows 10 Anniversary Update. In the coming weeks, the company will release the RTM build of Windows 10 Anniversary Update to Insiders, which will then get released to the public on August 2.
With the latest build, Microsoft has fixed a few more bugs, and needless to say, there aren't any new features. The build looks pretty polished, and it should now be usable on a daily driver (but make sure to review the known issues before installing it on your main machine). As we are very close to the Anniversary Update, Microsoft has removed the build watermark from desktop.
As usual, the latest build is only available to Insiders in the Fast Ring. If you are already a Fast Ring Insider, you can get the latest build by heading over to Settings > Update & Security, and then checking for updates. Happy downloading!

BREAKING: USC to expand Gympie campus for next semester
THE University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) is set to expand with the announcement of an additional learning spaces made available by the Palaszczuk government.
The Minister for Training and Skills Development Shannon Fentiman welcomed the partnership with Gympie Regional Council and USC.
"This is a great win for the Gympie community and will allow more local students to get access to tertiary education," Ms Fentiman said in Gympie this morning.
"The State Government has been working closely with the Gympie Regional Council and the University to reach an agreement that is in the best interests of the community," she said.
"$530,000 will be invested by the Palaszczuk Government to upgrade the Gympie site this year including $230,000 to refurbish B block for university use.
"Works are underway and due to be completed in the next few months with the intention to have the space ready to welcome university students for the start of the second semester."
Gympie Mayor Mick Curran said the announcement was a great outcome for both our young and mature aged students across the region in terms of opportunities, further education and employment.
"Gympie Regional Council, USC and the State Government have worked together to ensure our residents have the same opportunities afforded to many in our major cities. Not only can this bring people to the region, it means others don't have to leave to continue their education. It gives our community choice.
"I congratulate the Minister and sincerely thank her on behalf of the community," Cr Curran said.
USC Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Greg Hill said the University has had a presence on the TAFE Queensland campus since 2013.
"USC Gympie is already making a difference to the local community - raising aspiration and creating real opportunities for people in regional Queensland to improve their learning outcomes and address their ability to secure fulfilling careers.
"USC is committed to working collaboratively with the Gympie Regional Council to play a leading role in building economic, social and educational capacity in the region by providing higher education opportunities for local school leavers and upskilling of mature age people for the work force."
The University will use the additional building initially as a much-needed general study space to encourage more students to spend more time studying on the campus and improve the student experience.
"In Gympie the Palaszczuk Government is also supporting 151 students to gain valuable training for free thanks to our free TAFE initiative," Ms Fentiman said.
Gympie SHS 2018 Year 12 graduate, Lily Ringland heard about free TAFE through her school and is now enjoying studying a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care at Gympie TAFE.
"The free TAFE funding has really helped me as it's made it easier for me to continue learning without having to worry about fees. It means I'm able to make a career out of what I like doing, which is really exciting," Ms Ringland said.
The Minister said the Gympie region was well positioned for growth of its agricultural and tourism sectors and the shared campus would help prepare students for the local jobs of the future.
The 10-year lease is due to be finalised this month.

What You Need to Know Before Climbing Mt. Hood
Oregon's highest summit, Mt. Hood, at 3426m, is one to behold. It is an ice cone beautifully rising above lush green vegetation. A mountain-lake nearby, by the name Mirror Lake, gives a perfect reflection of Mt. Hood.
It lies on the border between two counties; Hood River and Clackamas about 80km south-east of Portland.
- Mount Hood Climate
- Climbing Mt. Hood
- Accommodation on Mt. Hood
- Mountain climbing routes
- Emergency Plan
- Fauna on Mount Hood
- Flora on Mount Hood
- Hiking with Kids
- Things to do
In North America, this glaciated peak is one of the most coveted by climbers and is situated within Mt. Hood National Forest. After Japan's Mt. Fuji, it is the second most popular spot for climbers. It houses 12 named glaciers and snowfields, which cover about 80% of the mountain. The famous skiing zone being the Palmer Glacier within Timberline Lodge.
Due to past minor eruptions, it is characterized as a potentially active volcano though informally the mountain is considered dormant. Fumaroles near the summit (Devil's Kitchen and Hot Rocks) contribute to the fear that an eruption is imminent. Although an explosive eruption is unlikely, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates the chances of an eruption between 3-7 % in the next 30 years.
Mount Hood Climate
Mt. Hood experiences the Mediterranean type of Climate.
The average temperature is 46.8°F (8.2°C). July is the warmest month with temperatures averaging 63.6°F (17.6°C). While January is the coldest month with temperatures averaging 30.2°F (-1°C).
The highest temperature (35°C) was recorded in July and the lowest temperature (-21.7°C) recorded in January.
The mountain gets 38inches of precipitation yearly. December receives the most precipitation while July has the least amount of rain.
Snow is 57 inches on average.
Climbing Mt. Hood
Contrary to popular opinion that Mt. Hood can be tackled by inexperienced hikers, ascending this snow capped peak requires technical skills and experience. This trivialization and carelessness have led to a number of deaths on Mt. Hood. Actually, an unprepared climber has sadly considered a risk to other experienced climbers.
It will take a roughly 4-7hours to summit Mt. Hood if you're in peak shape but 6-9 hours if you aren't.
Now that we have ascertained that this mountain is a technical climb, proper mountaineering equipment, and safety skills are mandatory. Due to rapid weather changes, safety greatly depends on the climber's fast judgment, skill, and preparation.
I will not hesitate to emphasize the need for proper training before tackling Mt. Hood. Physical conditioning is quite essential if you want a successful trek. I suggest going on training hikes or making use of hilly terrain that more or less simulates the high elevation of Mt. Hood. Carry a weight of about 20-30 pounds consisting of the equipment you will need on the mountain, on your back during these training sessions.
You should also be trained in crampon and self-arrest techniques using the ice-axe. Familiarity with other safety techniques like First Aid, crevasse rescue, roped travel, navigation and avalanche condition assessment will be an added advantage.
Make sure you are aware of the risk elements associated with the climb. Get to know the type, how to avoid or mitigate it. Some of the dangers on the mountain include:
This happens due to strong winds, sun, and vibrations that loosen the surfaces holding the ice and dust. So the debris comes tumbling down the slopes. Rockfall is likely to occur during Fall and Summer while ice fall is likely to occur during Winter.
- Mitigation Tip:
Get an early start off between 12 am and 2 am so that you're back to the base before 9 am when the danger of ice/rock fall is highly likely. Also, once on the upper slopes wearing a helmet would be recommended.
Fumaroles are openings or vents on the earth's crust in volcanic areas that emit poisonous gases like sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, and carbon dioxide. These sulfurous gases smell like rotten eggs. They are active all year round. Lingering near these zones might trigger suffocation, nausea and it is potentially fatal.
- Mitigation Tip:
Avoid getting comfortable around these zones and keep your walk steady.
These are huge masses of snow moving downhill. The velocity of an avalanche increases rapidly in volume and mass as it gains momentum picking up debris and snow on its path.
They normally occur due to a temperature increase that causes melting of ice normally between 9 am and 1 pm a structural instability or a trigger from climbers.
- Mitigation Tip:
An avalanche condition assessment should be carried out each time a climb is attempted, especially after snowfall in spring.
These are open and deep cracks that occur in glaciers. They vary in size and depth. On the popular South route of Mt. Hood, the Bergschrund crevasse is the primary one. Other crevasses can be present during spring and summer above Palmer.
- Mitigation Tip:
Navigate carefully around them.
Other Climbers
A potential danger is higher when there's a massive influx of people attempting to climb the mountain, especially during the summer and spring months.
- Mitigation Tip:
Be polite and patient. Ensure that there's adequate space between you and other climbers. Move fast and carefully especially through chutes.
Improper clothing on Mt. Hood would lead to a numbing frostbite. I suggest the 4-layer approach that entails shell, insulation, mid layer and base layer. All clothing should be synthetic or breathable.
Gloves, socks, hats and boots and balaclavas should be part of your essential itinerary.
- Crampons-These will ensure you have a firm grip on the ice while offering stability and traction.
Tip: choose well-fitting and comfortable boots prior to getting crampons.
- Ice axe-It is quite portable but having the skill to use it for self-arrest is necessary. Practice several times before the climb.
- Headlamp-You will definitely need a headlamp considering you will be climbing Mt. Hood at night.
- Shovel-This will ensure that you can quickly dig yourself or someone else out when bad weather pulls the rug under your feet and you/they are stuck in a snow cave.
- First Aid Kit-You should carry a light-weight kit from which you can dispense aid to yourself or another climber in case of an injury.
Other necessary equipment includes; gaiters, trekking poles, helmets, map or compass, sun protection cream, overnight gear, a mobile device, climbing harness, rope, food, and water.
You will require a Wilderness Permit from Climbers' Cave or Timberline Lodge to access Mt. Hood National Forest.
The Climbers' Registration Form shows the number of people in your team, climbing dates, emergency numbers etc. It is not mandatory but I highly recommend it. It is also acquired from Timberline Lodge.
The Sno-Park Permit is seasonally mandatory. It is required by the Transportation Department of Oregon for car users from November through to April.
Best time to climb
Depending on the route chosen, any time of the year can be ideal to climb Mt. Hood.
However, mid-April to mid-July is the best time recommended if using the South Side routes which are the most popular. However, ultimate indicators of the best time to climb should be mountain and weather conditions.
Accommodation on Mt. Hood
Portland is only a few kilometers away from Mt. Hood (about 2 hours) If you're a speed maniac possibly an hour. It offers several options for accommodation, easy access to the airport and rental cars. Most climbers opt to leave the city in the late evening so as to climb at night.
You may choose to stay in Hood River. It's an awesome place to stay and is closer to the mountain, though smaller without a major airport.
Though expensive, you may prefer to stay in the iconic Timberline Lodge. It is the most convenient and it holds plenty of history for your gulping. Its architecture is equally mind-blowing having been built with giant beams and boulders with rusty finishes and cozy fireplaces.
If not, a cheaper alternative, operated by a climbing organization in Portland would be the Mazama Lodge which is also closer to the mountain.
The Cascade Huts are more of a Do It Yourself (DIY) kind of huts. They are one-room rustic cabins that accommodate up to 8 people each and are well-stocked with stoves, sleeping bags, utensils etc. During summer the huts provide water and food as well.
There are other several inns and resorts that offer affordable accommodation in Government Camp.
If you prefer to camp, there are several options for this. Mt. Hood National Forest and the Timberline Lodge Parking lot would suffice if you have an RV.
You may also camp on the mountainside but be cautious of rock fall and avalanches.
Mountain climbing routes
The classic climbing routes are the South Side routes, North Face Right Gully, Cooper's Spur, Devil's Kitchen Headwall, Ravine, Sunshine Route, Wy'East, Sandy Glacier Headwall, Reid Glacier Headwall, West Crater Rim Route andLeuthold Couloir.
The recommended and popular routes to the summit of Mt. Hood are the South Side Routes.
The South Side Route begins atTimberline Lodge parking lot. There are three variations of this route once you get to the Palmer ski lift; the Pearly Gates is most popular with climbers, the Old Chute which is normally an alternative when there's congestion at the Pearly Gates and the West Crater Rim variation is for climbers who want a challenge.
Ascent via the South Side Route
Arrive at Timberline Lodge at around 11 pm, organize and gear up aiming to begin the climb 12 am. Walk along the ski boundary as you head north. You will find a worn path which will be your highway till you reach the Palmer Lift House.
Take your first break at Silcox Warming Hut which is slightly above Timberline. The lift houses act as landmarks and windbreakers not as shelters. They simply provide minimal protection.
If visibility is poor, you can use the lifts and get to the Magic Mile Lift House. If not, continue from Silcox on the main trail to find the Palmer Lift House. Check weather conditions as you take your second break. If the conditions are unfavorable, consider turning back or waiting for improved conditions.
From this lift house, heading north you will arrive at Crater Rock. I suggest using the eastern side of Crater Rock to get to the Hogsback ridge that links it to the rim of the summit. It is fairly reliable and more protected. Put on your crampons at this juncture.
From the Hogsback, you will have two variations to get you to the summit; the Pearly Gates and the Old Chute.
The Pearly Gates
This is the shortest and most direct route to the summit. It is also the steepest with high probabilities of rock/ice fall. To navigate this route safely, proper mountaineering gear is required.
Move swiftly and carefully especially if it is springtime when a large cornice forms on the northern side of the rim.
The Old Chute
This may be your best option if the Pearly Gates are in bad condition. It is, however, less steep, though it has similar dangers as the Pearly Gates with a risk of avalanches.
Once at the summit, celebrate your achievement, grab a snack or drink, take some photos and begin heading back.
It is normally said that the summit of a mountain is just half of the journey. Descent from the summit of Mt. Hood will probably take you half the time you spent ascending, roughly 2-4hours. This does not mean it is an easy feat, though gravity will be your best ally.
I strongly recommend that you descend using the same route you used to the summit because you will now be familiar with the landmarks, obstacles, and conditions. However, Old Chute offers an easier descent.
Emergency Plan
I suggest that you come up with an emergency plan in case of any mishap. You should also alert a friend or a family member who will not be taking part in the climb. Include information on the route you will take, a timetable, check-in time, probably time for a search to be initiated, family member contacts et al.
- Emergency/ Rescue/Helpline
To report an emergency, dial 911.
You can also contact Portland Mountain Rescue directly on 503-222-PMRU (7678)

Fauna on Mount Hood
Mount Hood is home to several animal species. You will find amphibians like bullfrogs, spotted salamanders, and the American toads. On the other hand, reptiles like the milk snake, garter snake, and snapping turtles also exist here. Further, you can spot some of the soil animals like Earthworms, beetles, termites, and many more.

Vegetation in Mt. Hood include various species such as the Red Maple, the Northern Oak, the American Elm, beech, birch, Sassafras, the hemlock, ferns and the Eastern white pine.
Hiking with Kids
Despite the ascent being a technical one, 4 children are said to have successfully climbed to the summit of Mt. Hood. Two 11-year olds, one 9-year old and a 7-year old. So, yes, you can attempt the climb with your kids but extreme caution is to be observed and it is highly advisable to take a guide or two along.
Alternatively, there are many hiking trails that are children-friendly in the forest and lake regions.
Things to do
The Mt. Hood Scenic Loop
Take a drive that will have scenic views of Portland, Mt. Hood National Forest and the Hood River all in one loop.
Take a Day Hike
There are quite a number of hiking trails around Mt. Hood. The most spectacular and scenic routes are those along lake trails. The Trillium and Mirror Lakes would be well worth your exploration.
Visit Timberline Lodge
In 1977, this lodge became a National Historic Landmark. It is home to a wealth of history. Constructed in 1937, it has managed to preserve much of its design and decor despite the fact that it has modern amenities.
Camps and Cabins
There are over 100 documented camping areas with vault toilets and picnic tables that are run by the Forest Service. With many options to select from, spend the night with the iconic mountain by camping in one of the many campgrounds.
Hood Skibowl
This resort is well known for knight-skiing with half of the routes lit. It will give you a winter playground feel.
During summer, activities on the mountain become high-adrenalin ventures like zip lining, horse-back riding and mountain biking.
The Meadows Ski Resort
This is the place to be for a variety of snowboarding and skiing terrain.
The Mt. Hood Railroad
A ride on this train will ensure a breathtaking view of the mountain and the Hood River.

cleaning dog hair off carpets with a Grip-It brush
The answer is...yes, and yes.
We've had this Grip-It for a long time, and I can't remember where we bought it, but in searching for the link above I discovered it's possible to buy them online and that replacement pads are available - though I can't figure out how to take the old one off and put on the new one. However, I feel sure we'd be able to do it if we had to.

Maggie and Mitch, when I went to the site of the brush, they said it could be used for getting stuff off carpets, so I guess I just reinvented the wheel.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered Boeing to introduce critical software update for its 737 Max 8 aircraft. As per the order, the aerospace manufacturer will need to improve its anti-stall software, along with aircraft's manoeuvring system by April 2019.
The move follows the recent Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET 302 incident, where the carrier's Boeing 787 Max-8 aircraft crashed roughly six minutes after taking off from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. All 149 passengers and eight crew members on board were killed.
The model of the crash closely resembles the Lion Air Flight JT 610 crash from October 2018. The deadly incident led to the deaths of all 189 people on board.
While the FAA has ruled out grounding the fleet of 737 Max 8 operating in the US, a number of countries from around the world and individual airlines have moved to cease commercial flights involving the aircraft.
UK, Singapore, Oman and Australia are the latest countries to ban the aircraft flying through their airspace, joining China who grounded the aircraft on 11 Monday.

It's time for the Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") to turn its attention to Doctor Who's triumphant return of the Ice Warriors in Cold War.
Once again without Brian Terranova, this is another two-hander with James McLean and Christian Cawley mulling over the Mark Gatiss episode, discussing the casting and the monster redesign.
But we're not going to simply talk about the new episode – after all, the 50th anniversary episode has been shooting in London recently, and Paul McGann has been making "come and get me" noises to BBC Wales.
Oh, and then there's the issue of scheduling. Brought to you in an unscheduled rant.
Kasterborous Series 3 Episode 12 Shownotes
Useful links for this week's podKast:
- Cold War Reviewed on Kasterborous
- Cold War Reviewed by Christian Cawley for Outpost Skaro
- Could Paul McGann Be Called for 50th?
- Is Summer Falls Littered with Series 7b Clues?
- Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Location Reports
- Matt Smith Hangs from TARDIS for Doctor Who 50th!
There are three ways that you can enjoy this week's podKast!
- Use the player in the top right of the Kasterborous home page, or visit the podKast menu link.
- Listen with the "pop out" player above, which also allows you to download the podKast to your computer.
- You can also take advantage of the RSS feed to subscribe to the podKast for your media player, and even find us on iTunes!
Incidentally, if you are listening on iTunes, please take the time to leave a rating and review and help us to bring in new listeners to the podKast! We are now offering free air hooks from the Kasterborous Towers supply stores especially for you, dear listener, if you can help us to raise our profile!
Yes, dear listener – you. What other podcast would give you that?

A poster asked if the income has to be reported to the IRS - well yes it does. In the same way they say people here demand their corruption, I feel like I can say we have a lot of saps who demand they be lied to so they can then justify their stupid ignorant beliefs.
TWO KEYS FACTS: One, the couple cannot get married until 72 hours after the license is issued. This means there is no incentive for the JP's to be directing couples to their offices. They cannot marry them anyway for 72 hours. Now, they certainly can make an appointment for 72 hours later. But why would someone from an outlying area of the county come back to Brownsville to get married when they can get married with any number of other JP's on the list given to them by the clerk's office. If you live in Brownsville you are not going to go to La Feria to get married unless you personally know Mike Trejo and want him to marry you. Conversely, if you live in La Feria you are not going to come back to Brownsville to have Linda Salazar marry you, unless you know her and want her to marry you. It is that simple.
KEY FACT TWO: The marriage certificate issued by the clerk has a section on it for the JP or other authorized person to perform marriages to complete and return to the clerk. This is how the number of weddings are kept track of and by whom.
There is no secrecy here - just pettiness by people who hate everyone who earns a living better than their own. There is also dirty politics coming out of commissioners court. I find this very disheartening.
This has become a hot potato issue, and I am not sure why? Well, for the most part. I think for the most part Linda Salazar has fallen out of grace with commissioner's court, so they are leaking information to make the JP's look bad. The BV never makes itself party to dirty politics, and has not published the information sent to the BV.
But there is a truth, that commissioners court has reached their limit with Linda Salazar. In fact because of her breach of courthouse security on the weekends she has been sent a letter from the constable to stop performing weddings at the courthouse when there is no scheduled security at the courthouse. On this issue the constable and commissioners court are on sure footing in their complaint.
As to Linda Salazar this appears to be just one of several issues they are looking at.
But here is the scoop. JPs Garcia and Salazar are located in the same building as the clerk who issues the marriage license. It is only logical that the vast majority of the people getting married will either go to JP Garcia or Salazar. This is a simple reality.
It is my understanding the game plan is to move both JP's to one of the BISD buildings traded to the county to make room for new district and county courtrooms at the court house. The front of the building will be remodelled to extend to the current columns.
Unless someone personally wants another JP to marry them because they are a friend of the family, or because they are doing a backyard wedding on SPI, it seems logical the bride and groom would just go to JP Garcia or Salazar because of their proximity to the clerk's office.
I asked the staff of both JP's how much the fee is for a wedding. It seems to range from about $150, during regular business hours, to $250 for a weekend wedding at some one's house or a hall.
I am the first to say these fees seem high - but here is the scoop - it is for the legislature to regulate the matter. If they were to choose so, they could set a standard fee, which includes a percentage going to the state.
I am not one to attack someone who engages in a legal business, just because I find the fees to be high.
The letter to JP Salazar to stop the weekend weddings is well placed. But beyond that, what is the issue? The law is being followed. So what is the basis of the complaint other then people being petty?
If you want it to change write Rene Oliviera and ask that the state better regulate the practice of weddings by JPs.
Another issue you can raise with Rene Oliviera is - seek a change as to who is qualified to perform marriages. Maybe it is time we open the process to anyone who can pass a state test. I thought Texas was about free enterprise - ah but this is about money - so we limit who can earn it.

Diamond Platnumz's official videographer and photographer Lukamba has been by his side for a while and has had the chance to interact and work with Diamond's family on different levels.
Speaking during an interview with Bongo5, the photographer spoke on his experience interacting with the different women the singer dated.
At the beginning of the year, Diamond revealed he was seeing Kenyan musician cum radio presenter Tanasha Donna, who recently delivered a bouncing baby boy.
Lukamba describes Tanasha as a peaceful person who talks to everyone and knows how to mind her business.
"Tanasha yuko vizuri. Ni mwanamke anajielewa, ni mwanamke ambaye hana madrama drama zakipumbavu nini nini.
"Amejifungua zake, amekaa kimya analea mtoto wake. Yuko tu yani. Ni mtu flani ako peaceful alafu anaongea na kila mtu,"he said.
When asked to name which of Diamond's baby mama is the most demanding, Lukamba mentioned Zari.
"Si ati alikuwa ananibore, alikuwa anapenda sana picha. Alikuwa ananiamsha asubuhi ya saa kumi na mbili unajua ni mtu anaenda kazi sa mbili unusu ivi so lazima ni hustle usingizi niende nimpige zile picha niedit nimtumie," he said.
Lukamba added that he has never gotten into a confrontation or argument with any of the ladies.
Hard worker
On one of his birthdays, the photographer was awarded a brand new car by his boss because of his hard work and commitment to ease his movement.
"Lukamba ni videographer wangu ambaye kiukweli anafanya kazi kwa bidii sana… ni videographer ambaye sasa hivi ame inspire watu wengi tofauti tofauti…Lukamba nampa gari leo" said Diamond.

Whether you're American or not, everyone loves a holiday, ammiright? And with the 4th July fast approaching, we say why not celebrate the occasion with Brisbane's best American food?
To pay homage to the 4th of July holiday, and in celebration in all that is great about American culture (read: wings, burgers, ribs, whiskey, CHEESE FRIES) we've compiled a list of Brisbane's best American restaurants. Yee haw!
Mighty Mighty
Mighty Mighty is about as authentic American as you'll find here in Brisbane. Think smoked beef brisket, jalapeno poppers, pork Boston butt, and barbeque short ribs. We've recently crowned them Brisbane's best rib restaurant, and after one bite of their melting ribs recipe, you'll know why. Not just for the big meat eaters, Mighty Mighty also do an awesome jambalaya, and — if you can believe it — a wickedly good vegetarian option. They also have an impressive selection of American craft beers to wash down all that American goodness. Y'all need to get down here!
New Valley cool kids, Greaser are holding a 4th of July party to celebrate their first ever foray into the live music scene. You can expect their famous cheeseburgers, dogs, Southern fried chicken, and tunes from The Valley Cats and James Wright, while you raise a pickleback to the US of A.
The Fox
They may not have fireworks, but The Fox's Longbar has everything else you need to ring in this 4th of July in true American style (that's with a brewski in one hand, chicken wing in the other). Alongside the US beers on offer — including Budwieser and hipster fave, Pabst Blue Ribbon — they'll be dishing up burgers, hot wings, and beef tacos. The party kicks off at The Fox from 11am. God bless America.
Billy Kart Kitchen
For the whole month of July, you can get your fix of American chow on a Friday night at new Brisbane fave, Billy Kart Kitchen. You'll find all the classics on this American-themed menu: buffalo wings, clam chowder, Maine lobster rolls, bourbon glazed pork belly, and — heck yes — cheesy fries, to name just a few. Ben O'Donoghue's themed Friday nights have a cult following among in-the-know locals, and his 4th of July special is no exception, so book yourself a seat now!
Papa Jacks
For all things 4th of July, Papa Jacks is a safe bet. An authentic taste of the South, with a drink and food menu that's heavily influenced by New Orleans, you'll find headliners such as the wagyu beef and creole cream cheese burger, the club croque sandwich with spicy béchamel, ham and swiss cheese, plus an assortment of authentic American sides. They do also do legit' New Orleans cocktails, like Hurricanes and Sazeracs.
Southside Diner
South Side Diner encompasses everything we love about the US of A, and no list of Brisbane's best American restaurants would be complete without it. This cute little diner creates an oasis of '50s nostalgia in the heart of South Bank, offering a mixture of local, fresh American style fare. Complete with everything you'd expect to see in an American diner — booth seating, swivel bar stools, cherry pie, and endless cups of coffee — Southside Diner is a prime location for your 4th of July party.
Nantucket Kitchen and Bar
If there was ever any doubt about our addiction to all things American, the opening of Nantucket Kitchen and Bar certainly put those to rest — we are nuts about this new American offering. The menu dishes up a more sophisticated version of Americana — less finger licking, more finger bowls. Of all the exquisite plates on offer, the signature crab cakes are the cream of the crop. A trio of fat, panko-crumbed patties with nothing to overpower the pure sweetness of spanner crab. And if you make it past the scrumptious menu, you'll land right in the middle of Nantucket's calorie busting dessert menu. Because no 4th of July celebration would be complete without chocolate and salted caramel tart and honeycomb ice cream.
Where's your pick for the best American restaurant in Brisbane?

BROOKLYN — What better way to prepare for the Puerto Rican day parade tomorrow then to go to the 33rd annual Salsa Festival here at Barclays?
It's a four hour lovefest of all things salsa, a night to celebrate one's heritage.
Eddie Palmieri was the crowd pleasing opening act.
Audience members could barely stay in their seats.
"Millions of people come to the city to celebrate at the Puerto Rican Day Parade," Salsa Festival concert promoter Adam Torres told PIX11. "So this has become the celebration before the celebration."
Even before the 33rd annual salsa festival began, it was a night to dress up and celebrate Latin culture.
"It's a wonderful reminder of our cultural roots," Cynthia Santiago-Borbon, dressed in a beautiful silver dress, told PIX11. "It's a bonding experience."
Her husband Tabare Borbon agreed.
"I love the music, the rhythm, it's infectious," Borbon said. "When you start dancing, you really feel like you are in another place."
Johnny Rios of Park Slope even showed me a few of his salsa moves.
"Not sure if they are actually allowed to dance in the aisles during concert," Torres, the concert promoter, told PIX11. "But they will be dancing in the aisles," he added.
The dancing and the celebration will continue into the wee hours of the morning.

On a pleasant September morning, a pre-dawn moment of clarity lit me up as I walked north on Michigan Avenue toward the office at 4 a.m., just six hours after leaving the office the night before.
Although I'd picked up and acted on a recurring theme from my fellow CEOs at monthly meetings of Vistage, an executive coaching organization I had joined earlier in 2017, I hadn't applied it the person who needed it most.
I joined Vistage to become a better CEO and, most importantly, a better manager at American Homeowner Preservation, which I founded at the outset of the housing crisis in 2008. In our first decade, we erased over $120 million in homeowners' negative equity and saved families over $6 million annually on their housing payments. And we demonstrated that we could purchase distressed mortgages from lenders at big discounts and generate extraordinary financial returns while providing transformative solutions to families at risk of foreclosure.
That September morning, AHP was on solid ground, with all-time-high revenue, a team that had grown in both number and experience, and a healthy financial position. But I had this gnawing feeling that I was losing control: I just could not squeeze enough hours out of my days to keep up with everything. Although I implemented many of the Vistage lessons with our staff of 21, at times I felt like I was drowning.
A year prior, I had recognized that I needed help. Although I was a tenacious entrepreneur, I was not adept at building, managing, and getting the most out of my team. Too often, I would simply offer to do someone else's more complicated work instead of taking the time out to show my teammate how to do it. I wasn't trying to be NBA standout Kobe Bryant, but I had the same effect: employees sometimes became frustrated and disillusioned while I made the star plays that they could have made if I only invested a bit more time in them.
Through Vistage, I learned that my shortcomings were not unique, as many successful entrepreneurs face similar challenges in growing their businesses. A recurring theme was having "the right butts in the right seats," meaning that team members with the proper experience, skills and mindset are in fitting positions in the organization. Think of a basketball team playing their center in the role of a point guard: the results would likely be disastrous, not because the center is a bad player but simply because he or she is in the wrong position. This led to the brain flash on my early morning walk in September: maybe my butt was in the wrong seat?
After almost ten years of doing everything I could do to build AHP, maybe I was the constraint to AHP's continued growth? What if I hired someone who is a great manager, who could build, manage and get the most out of AHP's team? As the elevator door closed for my ride up to our sixth-floor office, the realization solidified in my mind: the most significant obstacle to my goals was me.
As soon as I settled at my desk, I sent an email to a multitude of industry contacts: AHP Servicing is a new servicer in process of getting licensed nationwide. I will be President and we are seeking a CEO, COO and CFO.
Three months earlier, I had a blowout with our mortgage servicer: their fees were high and their service was low. They were our sixth servicer in as many years. Thus, I resolved that AHP would go through the licensing process to become a national servicer. We would bring social responsibility and a willingness to do the right thing to mortgage servicing, an industry often devoid of caring, compassion and basic human decency.
Drawing upon AHP's decade of experience in resolving thousands of distressed mortgages, the new AHP Servicing would broaden our mission from fixing the mortgages we buy to fixing the mortgages owned by others. We want to show others that keeping families in their homes is rewarding not only socially, but financially. The new servicing operation would significantly expand AHP's prospects for growth.
When I sent that email, I was unsure of the response I would get. However, soon resumes were coming in from executives at major banks and servicers as well as Fannie Mae, E*Trade, and other much larger companies. Many were intrigued by AHP's mission and wanted to be a part of it–and help grow it. I was surprised and gratified.
Awkwardly, as we made progress in the selection process, the leading CEO candidate asked, "Can I become CEO and President of AHP Servicing as well as American Homeowner Preservation?" I was a bit taken aback by the question.
"What would I do?" I asked, hesitatingly.
"You can be Chairman of the Board," she replied, succinctly.
Later, I realized that the team needed to see the new CEO as the undisputed leader, and having me around would not allow that to happen. Two leaders on a team does not typically yield ideal results.
"Everything rises and falls on leadership," the author John Maxwell once wrote. I realized that I had done everything I could to build AHP to this point and now was the time for me to step aside. I needed to hand over my baby to someone better equipped to grow AHP into its next decade. I'd remain principal shareholder and become Chairman, helping guide AHP high-level.
With the prospects for AHP's growth greater than ever, there are still millions of families in America struggling with their mortgages. AHP is like chemo to cancer: we help some homeowners while millions of others succumb. The problem is so much larger.
How can I help more families at risk of foreclosure stay in their homes? That's why I started AHP Servicing, and why I am moving my butt out of the CEO seat and the right butt into it.

The body found in the Sangamon River Tuesday morning has been identified as missing kayaker Shane Shomidie, the Sangamon County coroner's office said.
The body was discovered about 9:50 a.m. by searchers working out of Riverside Park.
Preliminary autopsy results indicated there was no evidence of trauma, a press release from the coroner's office said.
Shomidie, a professional mixed martial arts fighter, has been missing since his kayak flipped near Riverside Park April 21. Rescuers have been using sonar to search the Sangamon River and volunteers have been combing the banks of the river in an effort to find Shomidie.
Shomidie turned 30 on April 25. He had two daughters, ages 3 and 9.
To mark Shane's birthday, hundreds of family members and friends gathered at Riverside Park April 25 to release balloons.
Lindsey Walker of Sherman, Shane's sister, said her brother's first priority was family.
"Family was number one to him, very loyal. If any of us needed anything, he was there," Walker said.
Family members repeatedly thanked members of the Sangamon County Rescue Squad and other volunteers as the search went on for well over a week.
"They are out here looking for somebody they don't even know. That's heartwarming," said Micky Shomidie, Shane's father last week.
Micky Shomidie previously said his son was kayaking with his girlfriend and another couple April 21. The two couples became separated prior to Shane's disappearance.
Riverside Park was closed after the discovery was made Tuesday, but it reopened later.
Final autopsy results are pending, so that microscopic and toxicology studies can be completed. Such tests are routine, the coroner's office said.
The death is being investigated by the coroner's office and the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office.
