9 iPad Apps Every Court Reporter Should Be UsingThursday, September 26th, 2013
Are you using an iPad as part of your court reporting business? If you aren't, you should be. An iPad can help you be more productive with your time away from the office. If you're looking for ways to use your iPad more efficiently, we've put together a list of apps that will help you get things done on the go.
1. CalenMob (free)
CalenMob is a Google Calendar app. It inherits the simple and clean look of Google web calendar and makes it more accessible, responsive and reliable on your iPhone and iPad. This app gives you access to your calendar no matter where you are. You can make and change appointments from either iPhone, iPad or your computer. It can also be used with no internet connection. Changes will be synced back to your Google account the next time you are connected.
2. DropBox for iPad (free)
A simple and convenient way to store your files, documents, pictures, etc. You can access your DropBox from anywhere as long as you have your username and password and internet access (to initially sign on). The best thing is that it can synchronize your computer, phone, and iPad all in one storage system. The great thing about this program is even if your computer crashes, you can still retrieve your DropBox files through logging back onto your iPad.
3. Scanner Pro (free)
Scanner Pro transforms your iPhone and iPad into portable scanners. It allows you to scan receipts, whiteboards, paper notes, or any multipage document. You can scan notices or even exhibits when the attorney wants to retain ownership. Once you scan the document, you can turn it into a good-looking pdf file.
4. Pocket (free)
Pocket, formerly called ReadItLater is a free app that makes it easier for the user to store articles and read them later. It'll come in handy for down time between deps or breaks in action. You can use the time wisely by catching up on articles during those times or even with a cup of morning coffee.
5. iWork ($30)
iWork is essentially three applications bundled into one: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Pages is a word processor. Numbers is similar to Excel, where you can access spreadsheets, etc. And Keynote is a presentation software comparable to PowerPoint. This bundle will give you the convenience of opening and editing documents while on the go.
6. AudioNote ($4.99)
Audionote lets you link audio recordings to written notes. Later on, you can click on a specific portion of your notes and listen to the audio recording associated with that moment. You can use this application with a stylus, which makes things a lot easier for note takers and for people who want to draw while using it. This can be helpful for recording ideas or memos to yourself quickly when you're mobile.
7. White Noise Pro ($2.99)
The perfect companion when you're looking to either relax or get proofreading done, but you can't drown out the neighbors or that barking dog! White Noise Pro offers a variety of ambient noise, nature recordings, and, of course, white noise.
8. Clear ($1.99)
An incredibly easy to use productivity app that helps manage your day-to-day responsibilities. When you've accomplished a task, simply swipe it away. You can even break down your to-do lists into grocery, personal goals, shopping, and more. This application is perfect for busy people.
9. Mailbox (free)
This app helps you sort out e-mails with your existing accounts. For example, you can sync your Gmail account and categorize and create labels for certain e-mails. Over time, it'll help you minimize the overflowing amount of unread e-mails you have, hopefully, to zero. The app allows you to swipe messages to either archive or trash it. E-mail maintenance has never been easier.
Efficiency is a huge part of any court reporter's life. The more efficient you are, the more you can get done. These apps are all designed to help you be more productive with your time when you are away from your office. You will find yourself relying on your iPad more and more to get things done.

text: Tasker Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi Guys and Gals! I wanted to give you an update on the 2006 UnRally planning. I've asked the following bmwst.com members to help me out with various functions: Matt Staller: UnRally website and logo design Steve Knapp: Routes Ken and Donna Harbeck: Registration John Bellantonio: Scouting (He lives in Buena Vista!) Hotel: I have narrowed the search to two, which are the Water Wheel Inn and the Holiday Inn Express. John is in the process of meeting with the managers of both properties, and I have talked with both many times. John is aware of what our needs are, and is doing the site visits to confirm what I've been told. The owner of the Water Wheel Inn really wants our business and has given us rates that are just a bit less than the Holiday Inn Express however, they only have about fifty rooms that we can use. Some of the issues I've asked him about have been resolved, i.e. the lack of internet access for guests has been resolved, but only if the person wanting to use his service goes into his lobby. The Holiday Inn Express is my first choice because the property will be new and fully equipped with everything to meet our needs however, the property was to be open for business this past November and is now scheduled and promised to open no later than March 31st. I'm a little worried about their opening push-backs, but the wait could be worth it. John is eyeballing the construction to see if the March opening is realistic. Camping: As you already know, we will be using the KOA again. Everything is set. Dinner(s): Of course, we will have at least one evening meal as a group, probably some kind of a BBQ. I have calls into a few people, including the vendor we used for UnOne. Discussions are ongoing. I haven't decided about the second meal together, as I am trying to keep our UnRally registration fee as low as possible. Since the "official" nights will number three, I don't see a problem with keeping the other two nights in Gunny free for our attendees to visit the surrounding establishments. I am open to your thoughts and ideas. Breakfast: I've been told by a number of people that the breakfast that has been offered at the campsite is not that important. In fact, many of our attendees in 2005 did not take advantage of the food and juice and coffee that was offered. The people who hotel it will not usually join those at the KOA for breakfast, opting to have breakfast at the hotel or at a breakfast place in town. My gut feeling is to not worry about feeding out attendees in the mornings. Again, this would save some money on our UnFees. Thoughts? Tee-shirts: I have a meeting set for next week to get our pricing for our 2006 UnShirts. Matt is working on the design for the UnLogo, which will also be used on our shirts. I've seen some initial design work. It will be very cool! I've been told by several people that they have missed not having event stickers, so I am looking into them, as well. Other things I am pondering for our group: 1.) Having a message therapist available to our group for after-ride workouts. 2.) Having our daily announcements done the night before instead of the day of. This is because so many of our attendees miss the morning announcements due to getting on the road at different times. Most of us seem to be together in the evenings. 3.) I am looking into a tent for both the hotel and the KOA that will be large enough for our group at each location in case of bad weather. 4.) I am working on a list of resources and things to do for those who may not want to ride everyday, or for the wives and SOs who may not want to be on a bike during the week -- shopping, festivals, events, etc. My plan is to announce the event in stages, the first being the hotel and KOA arrangements. As soon as these details are fixed, I will announce them to the board. As we add each component of the UnRally, I will make the announcement to the board and that element will be added to the website by Matt. There you go! Hopefully this will let you know that the UnRally planning is indeed progressing, and will give you an opportunity to offer input, questions and suggestions. Thanks, everyone! Link to comment

How Many Glasses Are in a Pitcher of Beer?
Follow Us:
An average beer pitcher contains 64 ounces of beer, which equals four pints or 5.25 12-ounce mugs. Beer cans usually hold 12 ounces of beer and bottles hold about 11 oz, so drinking a pitcher of beer is like drinking a little less than a six pack.
When evaluating the cost efficiency of purchasing a pitcher of draft beer, compare the pitcher price to the price of the draft pints. Draft beer typically costs lest than bottled beer. For large gatherings or commercial purposes, purchasing a keg can decrease the cost of the beer further, as kegs hold 40 to 124 pints of beer, depending upon the keg size.

Scott Disick once said that the Kardashian family has "more people than a small country." Well, this has to be one of the most attractive small countries out there!
The family posed for these new shots in anticipation of the season eight premiere of Keeping Up with the Kardashians in a little more than a week. Considering the June premiere, the pics are appropriately summery as the family poses outdoors in pastel-colored, casual-chic outfits.
With the Kardashian family soon welcoming a new member (Kim Kardashian is due pretty soon!), this season is all about family. Expect to see them closer than ever…which of course might mean a few sibling fights than usual!
Plus, with Kim pregnant, Kendall starting a modeling career and drama between Bruce and Brody, there will be plenty to look forward to.
Tune in Sunday, June 2 at 9/8c for the season eight premiere of Keeping Up with the Kardashians on E!

I wanted to have a quick look at the kernel source w/o
actually installing it properly (can't - diskspace).
My filesystems / and /C are NOT** the same!
Command and result:

installing package kernel-source-2.2.5-15 needs 16M on the /
Exit 1
Problem: rpm has checked the free space on the / instead of
on the /C filesystem. Need to use --ignoresize.
Is your /C file system an ext2fs file system? Rpm finds space
by doing a statvfs call, and that may be broken on non-ext2fs
file systems.
I have no idea how to reproduce this problem and know of no other occurences.

Skeletal six stone anorexic reveals incredible transformation from malnourished to muscular after learning to love her body
A six-stone (90lb) anorexic shares her incredible transformation from malnourished to muscular after learning to love her body.
Erika Jennings, 25, struggled with eating disorders for seven-years battling the urge to starve her skeletal body and purging whenever she ate.
After being rejected by sweethearts online and fearing she was 'fat' due to her muscular legs, she started dieting at 15.
Her fixation with becoming smaller left her shrinking food portion sizes continuously and reducing the calories she allowed herself to consume, until it dropped below 300 a day.
But in 2013, at a dangerously low 6st 6 (90lb) while lying depressed on the floor she had an epiphany that she must become her 'body's friend' and start loving herself.
She switched to a high-carb vegan diet, started treating herself with bubble baths and repeatedly told herself that she was 'beautiful, strong and capable'.
Now a healthy 10st 10 (150lb), she's focussing on building a more muscular physique, working out three-times-a-week to forge thicker legs and a bigger butt.
Erika, from West Virginia, USA, said: "It started out as a healthy diet, then it progressed to a diet where I would only eat 1200 calories a day.
"I started to see results then kept lowering things, taking smaller portions then switched to low fat options, then no fat and then not eating at all.
"At my worst, some days I was eating a maximum of 300 calories a day, other times I wasn't eating at all, within a year it was a full-blown eating disorder.
"I kept starving myself as I hated my muscles, I wanted to get rid of them, it got to the point where I was really tiny with no shape or body definition.
"It's really shocking to look at now, I never realised how I was because whenever I looked in the mirror I saw a monster that was big and disgusting.
"On one of my worst days, I was so depressed I was lying on the floor, suddenly I heard god say to me 'you are your best friend' and that experience really changed me.
"Suddenly I was overwhelmed by the way I treated myself and the way life was going, I decided to learn to love and accept myself.
"That led to all kinds of stuff from taking bubble baths to showing my body I cared and love it, I was still battling my eating disorder but knew that if I tried to love myself I would beat it.
"I built a relationship with myself, by saying that I was 'beautiful, strong and capable', I started meditation and focused on healing my body.
"Ten-months later, I started on a high-carb vegan diet and the nourishment helped to eliminate my depression, I felt so good and even though I was consuming up to 3,000-4,000 calories a day I felt like I was bouncing off the walls.
"I realised that it's ok not to be perfect and to gain weight, I learned to embrace the thickness of my thighs and love my body.
"I switched my emphasis from burning calories to becoming fit and building muscle, I started working out at home doing exercise and gaining more weight.
"I fell in love with my thicker, bigger body, I used to hate my thighs and wanted to be smaller but now I love my body and having a fuller curvier figure."
Erika's issues with appearance began during her teen years, when she started to believe she was overweight due to her curves and muscular legs.
Her obsession with becoming 'skinny' led her to starve herself between a self-destructive routine of binge eating and then purging.
Erika said: "It was a difficult time, I started questioning myself and my body after several boys I had fallen for didn't like me back, I felt like the odd one out.
"I had an inner self-hatred for how I looked, people would make comments about me being curvier or bigger, they were just jokes but it made me question myself.
"Even during my eating disorder, I felt like a giant trying to fit into my surroundings, in reality I was weak, sickly and small."
Erika was blinded to how dangerously underweight she was, at her worst she had a body mass index of 14.5 – a healthy range lies between 18 and 25.
On top of her extremely restricted diet, she would exercise excessively – some days cycling up to 30 miles in a bid to work off any remaining 'fat' on her body.
Erika said: "It was terrible for my malnourished heart and I didn't even care, thinking about that now hurts.
"I was so determined to get skinny that even if it killed me recovery wasn't something I was trying to do, I was just focusing on being skinny at all costs."
But after her epiphany and deciding to start appreciating her body in 2013, Erika began the long road back to health.
She stopped weighing herself, calorie counting and avoided potential triggers as she battled to undo all of the negative habits she'd built up over her seven year struggle with eating disorders.
Supported by her family and husband, Wayne, 30, she was able to gain nearly four stone (60lb) and has now built an impressively chiselled yet curvaceous physique.
Erika said: "My life is 100% different and better, before, I was so lost in my head, always wondering how I could burn more calories, how I was going to eat less, how much cardio I could do.
"I have gained a lot of muscle and I'm proud of the person I'm becoming, some people see self-love as vain but it's about appreciating yourself so you are more free to live a full life.
"I make the joke that I went from having a body like Gollum to Aragorn because Lord of the Rings is one of my favourite films.
"I love my whole body, becoming more strong and growing my butt, I hope that by seeing my transformation it encourages others to recover too."

This was the third and final house that Healy himself occupied on the block. It represents the transitional phase of his work from the Queen Anne style to the Colonial Revival.
Recently renovated, this 2 ½ story woodframe house has a hipped roof and hipped dormers. The porch across the front of the house features thin tapered square columns with unusual capitals adorned with flowers.
The porch has square balusters and a paneled porch base. Located within the front porch there are a two story, three sided bay window with leaded glass transoms and a one story circular bay window. The original double leaf entrance with stained glass transom is intact.
There is a second story balcony above the porch on the front of the house. On the northern side of the house is a large rounded arched window. All but the first story of the front of the house was covered with stucco in 1957.
The building permit lists Healy as the original owner and the estimated construction cost as $6,000. Healy lived here from 1892 until his death in 1906. His widow, Mary Ann (Jefferson) Healy lived here until 1928.
Architectural historian Paul Clifford Larson has studied the development of Healy's work in detail. Larson states that this house "anticipated the low rectilinearity and symmetry of his classical period, but was a vigorously composed and strikingly detailed as the Queen Anne houses of his primeyears."[1]

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Bahram Qassemi referred to the MKO terrorist group's recent Paris gathering and said holding such events is not unprecedented.
"Since 1981, the terrorist group has been trying to artificially boost the morale of its members through brouhaha, holding campaigns as well as gatherings like this one in Paris," he said in a Farsi interview with ISNA.
Qassemi went on to say that the MKO leaders usually spend a hefty amount of money to invite some figures notorious for their extremist stances against Iran to deliver speeches during their meetings.
"By spending money, the terrorist group always brings some spear-carriers together in its annual meetings," he noted.
The spokesperson stressed that the gathering has nothing to do with the visit of Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to France.
"The MKO usually holds its annual meeting during these days of year as a propaganda show [to attract attentions]. Our complaint is that why France government permits the terrorist group to hold such events," he noted.
He added that Iran has lodged an official complaint to France over allowing MKO to hold meeting in Paris.
The Iranian spokesman added there is no doubt that France has made a serious mistake by allowing the terrorist group to hold its annual meeting in the French capital.
"Terrorists are terrorists anywhere and France should drop its double standards when it comes to terrorists," he stressed.
Earlier, the Iranian Foreign Minister also denounced the Paris event and said the presence and activities of the terrorist group in France were regarded as a moot point in relations between Tehran and Paris.
On Saturday, the MKO terror group held a meeting in Paris, which was attended by some of the former US, European and Saudi officials, including former Saudi spy chief Prince Turki al-Faisal, who also delivered a speech.
The gathering was even broadcast live by the Saudi-owned al-Arabiya news channel. The notorious group has carried out numerous terror attacks against Iranian civilians and government officials over the past three decades.
The US and the EU recently removed the MKO from their terror lists, despite the group being responsible for killing nearly 17,000 Iranians since the victory of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Iran Hates MKO
While the MKO terrorist group (also known as MEK) was holding its event in Paris, thousands of tweets with the hashtags #IranHatesMEK and #No2MEK were posted by Iranian users all around the world, showing the entire nation's hatred towards the notorious cult.
The number of tweets were so many that the hashtags became world trends for a while on Saturday night.

It's hard to fathom that people are not free to attend and be part of a church, or even express their religious beliefs to their children, out of fear they will say something to the wrong person.
It's so different from the way I experience life and faith.
The abuse North Korean Christians endure is reminiscent of Old Testament stories where kings like Nebuchadnezzar forced people to worship idols or be thrown into a furnace.
When I sit down to read my Bible, I don't think about being spied on, arrested or fear that I might lose my life over it. But that's not the case for many of our brothers and sisters who live in North Korea—where it's illegal to own a copy of God's Word or to practice their faith.
And it's happening today. Right now, Open Doors estimates there are around 300,000 Christians in North Korea who must hide their faith and meet in extreme secrecy. They have no religious freedom, and they live under constant threat. And an estimated 50,000 of those Christians are imprisoned in labor camps, detention centers and banished to remote regions because of their faith.
I'll be honest; the reality didn't fully sink in until I spent time with Christians from North Korea.
On a recent trip to South Korea, I met and talked with multiple North Korean believers to hear their stories.
Driven by Hunger
I met with a man who grew up in North Korea. He used to roam the mountainside to dig up vegetables when his family was starving. The North Korean government indoctrinated him with propaganda about Christians—referring to them as "deceitful and evil people to be avoided at all cost."
Due to hunger, he escaped into China across the Tumen River to find food for his family—only to discover life there was also challenging and dangerous. For illegals in China, work is hard to come by, and the threat of getting picked up by the Chinese police—and being sent back to North Korea—always loomed. Eventually, he made it to a Christian safe house in China. He had to get past the Christian stereotypes he had been taught by the North Korean regime, but his desperation gave way.
He found Jesus in the safe house and eventually made it out of China. Today, he's a pastor in South Korea, but he's still very private due to the threat of North Korean spies. They could make life difficult for him and for his family members who still live in North Korea today.
Trafficked to China
I also met with two Christian women who both escaped North Korea at ages 17 and 20. Their father suffered in one of the country's notorious prison camps, and one day, prison guards killed him for sharing his faith with other inmates. The sisters held hands as they crossed the river into China with their courier. Little did they know their courier was planning to traffic them, selling them to Chinese men for marriage. Life inside North Korea is difficult, but the journey out is also filled with pitfalls and trials.
Their mother was in a North Korean prison camp just a few years ago. When she was released, she escaped North Korea and reunited with her daughters. When we talked to her about her experience in prison, it was clear that what she witnessed there was too traumatic to discuss in detail.
The mother and her daughters made it out of China and eventually into South Korea, and today they are so grateful for their freedom. But their hearts are heavy because they have one family member who is still in North Korea—with no way of contacting them.
A Generation of Faith
I also met with an elderly woman who spent most of her life in North Korea. She was arrested for trying to escape and spent time in a prison camp along with her husband. In prison, she said Psalm 23 gave her incredible comfort. We asked her to recite it for us. Before she even began, she held up her hand, and the tears came. Even years after prison, God's Word held so much meaning for her that the mere recitation of it brought a flood of pain and grace. It was a sacred moment to hear her voice as she recited the familiar words.
While her husband was in prison, their kids visited him. He wanted to pass on his faith, but there were guards everywhere. So he did something simple and profound. He wrote three words on his hand: "Believe in Jesus." Through that act and seeing their father's love for them and his God, his children decided to become Christians. Their father was later killed in prison for refusing to renounce his faith.
My faith was inspired and challenged by meeting these believers. Stories like these are common in the underground church of North Korea. These men and women are not superheroes; they are just ordinary people who have been changed by Jesus and decided He is worth it all. No matter their circumstances. No matter their geography. No matter their government. No matter the cost.
As North Korea continues to show up in the news and international talks go on between Kim Jong Un and other world leaders, please remember the suffering church in North Korea—their stories, their trials and their faith—and pray for them daily.

Alright, if your viewing this you likely are here to see where I'm at or what I've done on my trip to Alaska in 2017. Well…I haven't left yet!
Planning to leave on June 1 and return no later than July 4, I will do my best to update at least every couple of days, but I can't make any promises. If you know me, I'm not the best at detailing what I'm doing while I'm doing it, so be patient.
I will do my best to post messages, pictures, and short videos (if I can figure out how), but again, no promises.

The global 4K TV market is expected to reach $380.9 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research.
The report stated that the evolving nature of the consumer electronic industry, advancements in graphic engines of TVs, increased pressure on manufacturers to reduce prices, and popularity of UHD technology and its advantages are fueling the demand for UHD TV sets.
The global 4K TV market size was estimated at $71.9 billion in 2016. The reduction in prices of UHD TVs, according the the report, is expected to further fuel the demand for 4K TV in the coming years.
Asia Pacific held the largest share of 4K TVs in 2016 – largely due to China's transformation into the biggest consumer of the product – accounting for more than 70 per cent of the global share in the same year.
In the US, Grand View Research anticipates that by 2025, more than half the population will own at least one 4K TV. The European 4K TV market also exhibited a moderate growth due to an increasing demand in the UK and Germany. The proliferation of TVs supporting HDR will be a key factor expected to drive the growth in developed markets.

Mumbai Indians gun for revenge against Pune
Table-toppers Mumbai Indians will be itching to avenge their double defeat against Rising Pune Supergiant in the league stage when the two teams face-off in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) here on Tuesday.Mumbai Indians outplayed the Kolkata Night Riders in their last league match to secure the top spot.The side will be particularly satisfied that their bench strength clicked agains
Mumbai: Table-toppers Mumbai Indians will be itching to avenge their double defeat against Rising Pune Supergiant in the league stage when the two teams face-off in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) here on Tuesday.Mumbai Indians outplayed the Kolkata Night Riders in their last league match to secure the top spot.The side will be particularly satisfied that their bench strength clicked against KKR, providing them more options to choose from for the key clash.
There is a lot at stake as the winning team goes straight into the final to be played in Hyderabad on May 21, while the loser gets another chance in the Qualifier 2, to be played on May 19 in Bengaluru.Supergiant is the only team to have defeated Mumbai Indians twice in the league stage, both home and away and this fact would be playing on the minds of Mumbai players.
For the entire season, Mumbai's batting has clicked. When the likes of West Indians Lendl Simmons, Kieron Pollard, Parthiv Patel, skipper Rohit Sharma, Nitish Rana fire in unison, they can destroy any bowling line up in the world and Pune's will be no exception. And Pandya brothers, Krunal and Hardik, are delivering when needed and the hosts will expect that they rise to the big occasion.
Hardik would like to continue from where he left off at the Eden Gardens. Considering that the Wankhede track will be batting friendly, it is expected to be another high-scoring affair.Mumbai would get back to their regular openers Parthiv and Simmons, and the duo would want to give them another flaying start.
But the home team can bring in Ambati Rayadu, in place of an out of form Delhi-lad Nitish Rana, to play at the one-down position.Their bowlers, who leaked over 200 runs in their last home game, will have to put up an improved show. The team is likely to open their attack with Sri Lankan Lasith Malinga and Kiwi Mitchell McClenghan.Jasprit Bumrah has been their best death over specialist. Along with Hardik he will have to play a pivotal role to restrict the Supergiant line-up, which boasts of some big names.
Pune, who decimated Kings XI Punjab by nine wickets to finish on the second spot, will take confidence from that game.
Their pacers Jaydev Unadkat (21 wickets), Shardul Thakur (8 wickets) and Dan Christian (9 wickets) have been impressive and regularly taking wickets.
The trio will need to strike once again to restrict Mumbai and also require support from Australian leggie Adam Zampa.
Their one opener Rahul Tripathi, who has amassed 388 runs in the cash-rich T20 league, will need support from his partner Ajinkya Rahane, who is not scored big this season.
The side, however, will badly miss Englishman Ben Stokes, the costliest pick of the season, as he returns to national duty. It was something that was acknowledged by none other than captain Steven Smith himself.Pune, who have come back very strongly in the tourney, will need to get their combinations right. Some or the other player has performed for them this season, but the Stephen Fleming coached side would not like to depend on any one single player.
Teams (From): Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (C), Lendl Simmons, Mitchel Johnsohn, Mitchell McClenghan, Nitish Rana, Parthiv Patel, Saurabh Tiwary, Shreyas Gopal, Tim Southee, Lasith Malinga, Krunal Pandya, Keiron Pollard, Ambati Rayudu, Asela Gunaratne, Harbhajan Singh, Hardik Pandya, Jagdish Suchith, Jaspreet Bumrah, Jos Buttler, Karn Sharma and Vinay Kumar;
Rising Pune Supergiant: Steven Smith (captain), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Rahul Tripathi, Ajinkya Rahane, Manoj Tiwary, Dan Christian, Adam Zampa, Shardul Thakur, Ankush Bains, Lockie Ferguson, Jaydev Unadkat, Usman Khawaja, Milind Tandon, Saurabh Kumar, Iswar Pandey, Jaskaran Singh, Deepak Chahar, Rahul Chahar, Rajat Bhatia, Baba Aparajith, Mayank Agarwal, Ankit Sharma, Ashok Dinda.

This awesome Pepperoni Pizza Corvette by Dan Collier may be cheesy, but it has some pep to it. Pepperoni that is. Dan also goes by the name PizzaMan Dan, because why wouldn't you make your entire life about pizza? I know I have.
Dan recently showed off this 'za car at the 31st Annual International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. I can't think of a better car to show off ones love for pizza. But why no pepperoni hubcaps? That would have completed it.
It would be perfect if you had to use one of those giant wooden pizza spatulas to get a fresh baked pie from the trunk too. You have some work to do Dan. Once you've completed it to my specifications, I'll have the money, along with a good tip, when you deliver it to my door.

Many people suffer from burning sensation in their legs. The pain you will be experiencing may be severe or mild. Sometimes you may be experiencing more pain during night while taking rest and at times it can also occur during the day time. Certain times the pain will be localized some where on your leg and at times it spreads out. For some people the pain will be on one leg while in others the pain will be on both the legs. The causes for this burning leg pain can be different. Here are some of the causes and measures to get relief from the pain.
Causes for Burning Sensation in Legs
Sciatica is the acute spasmodic pain along the sciatic nerve. Sciatic nerve is seen on the rear side of the body and it flows from the lower side of the tail bone and moves down to the feet. This is the largest nerve found in the body. Sciatica is a shooting pain that begins from an area around the buttock and experiencing the pain the whole way down to the feet. This pain is also associated with a burning sensation.
People who have diabetes for a long period is often affected with diabetic neuropathy in which the nerves of the patient get affected. Disorder on the nerves may leads to pain, burning sensation, numbness etc on the legs.
Thrombosis is the formation of a clot with in the blood vessel that is seated deep inside the leg. This in turn leads to pain and burning sensation with in the legs. This pain aggravates while you walk or adding weight on the leg.
Vitamin Deficiency
Sometimes deficiency of vitamin B12 may affect your nerves, energy production and metabolism. It may cause pain in legs. Sometimes over exercise, nerve trauma, nerve compression, fibromyalgia, tendinitis, strain, fracture, varicose vein etc may also cause pain in legs.
Home Cares for Burning Sensation in Legs
When you have pain in your legs then you need to take rest. Try to keep your leg in elevated position while taking rest. You can gently massage or stretch the muscles that cause this burning pain. You can also apply ice bags on your legs for about 15 minutes. Repeat the ice bag compression for about four times a day. Control your diabetes to avoid diabetic neuropathy. Also avoid the intake of alcohol and tobacco and eliminate all other toxic substances from your diet. If your leg pain get worsen or if your leg becomes swollen and red or blue in color then consult your doctor.

With the summer upon us, so too is the festival season. Here we look at a few that showcase our nation's weird side along with a quick guide on how to start a festival in your town or village.
The Durrow Scarecrow Festival, Durrow, Co Laois
This quirky festival is back for its ninth year from July 29- August 6. Voted Ireland's best festival two years running, with an annual attendance of 27,000 people, it is definitely one of the summer's most humorous festivals. Previous prize winning scarecrows included Miley Silage, complete with ball and chain, straw versions of One Direction and even president Michael D. With the much-coveted title of 'All-Ireland Scarecrow Champion' up for grabs, this is one everyone can get their teeth into.
Cowboys and Heroes Festival, Ballinamore, Co Leitrim
You would be forgiven for thinking you had just walked into a bar in Nashville or Memphis, Tennessee, with this bill of American and Irish country and western music, with names like Robert Mizzell, Patrick Feeney, Derek Ryan, and Mike Denver performing over the bank holiday weekend in June. So, dust off your Stetson and polish your dancing shoes for a weekend of 'country'.
Minevention is the unofficial convention for Minecrafters with events taking place over the course of the year. There are build battles, tournaments, challenges, costume competitions and workshops, as well as the chance to meet world famous Minecrafters in the flesh. So, embrace your inner geek and dive in.
Match-making Festival, Lisdoonvarna, Co Clare
Put on your cowboy boots and your best smile and head to this festival, which not only promises performances from the top names in traditional country music but speed-dating, dancing and daily match-making by the legendary cupid Willie Daly. Since he started out as a matchmaker 45 years ago, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, Willie has set up around 3,000 marriages. With those kinds of stats, it's too intriguing not to go.
Puck Fair, Killorglin, Co Kerry
One of Ireland's most unusual and longest celebrated street festivals, Puck Fair takes place on August 10-12. Every year without fail, a goat catcher goes up into the mountains to catch a wild goat. The poor goat is subsequently crowned King Puck by the Queen of Puck, usually a girl from one of the local primary schools. And this is just what happens on the first day.
The Salmon Festival, Ballina, Co Mayo
Now in its 54th year, the Ballina Salmon Festival on 8-15 of July is the longest running family festival in the West. One-third of the festival's programme is aimed specifically at kids. Adults can enjoy the delights of Ballina's Chamber Choir or if you've more energy, why not battle it out for the coveted victor of the Moy Swim or test your mettle on Ballina's biggest obstacle course.
Run your own festival – a guide
Festivals bring people into an area they might otherwise have overlooked. If you have a burning idea for the next great festival, Feargus Dunn, lecturer in tourism and events management at the Institute of Technology, Tralee, has some tips on how to get it right.
You need to have a passion for what you are doing. It will get you through the tough times, as only the good festivals survive.
"There is funding available, but it's very competitive."
Do your homework
You need a robust and well-researched business concept. Look at competitors, ask yourself is there a market for it.
Go long
The event is not going to make money in first few years. Think long term. You need to have enough money to absorb losses in the first few years, mainly as sponsors will be wary of you when you don't have a track record.
Location, location, location
The choice of venue is hugely important. Sometimes people go to the venue for its attractiveness alone, or if it is of historical importance, but does it have the infrastructure. Is there power, WiFi, does it have ambulance clearways?
"There is money in funny places, like Waterways Ireland, if you can show your event in on a canal or linked to rivers."
People power
If you are volunteer-led, get people on board with varied backgrounds who can challenge you. Most third level colleges offer work placements to students in event management courses. Seek people with digital marketing expertise or those involved in project management.
Health & safety
Prepare for a lot of meetings with local councils, Gardai and environmental health officers. If you have over 5,000 people at an event, you need a licence, which takes over six months to process.
Show me the money
There is funding available, but it's very competitive. Failte Ireland, the Arts Council and local county councils might offer €3,000-5,000, but you need to provide a lot of documentation. Failte Ireland will only give funding if there is a tourism angle, the Arts Council is the same. You will need a track record, they won't give you money in the first year. There is money in funny places, like Waterways Ireland, if you can show your event in on a canal or linked to rivers.
"It's a crowded market, but there is room for brilliance."
Sponsorship is very competitive. There is only a certain number of big blue-chip companies out there, but if you have a track record and you can tie in with their brand, they are very interested. Look at new brands, like the new beers on the market for example and build up connections with people.
The hottest ticket in town
Think about ticketing. Do you want to generate cash flow or is it a free event? If ticketed, you need to create a buzz early, so people buy tickets in advance. This is where marketing expertise is required.
Take baby steps at the beginning. Festivals should be run like businesses, while still having the enthusiasm you need to succeed. It's a crowded market, but there is room for brilliance.

Beagle Puppy In Danger
Orange County Florida: Save Rufus!
by Julie W.
Rufus is a friendly, one-year-old Beagle pup who has been sentenced to death by Orange County FL Animal Services because of an accident that occurred in the pup's home. His owners don't want him destroyed and we need your help because he could be put down any day now!
Rufus' family is doing everything in their power to stop him from being put down after he bit their four year old child. I'm a friend of Rufus' family and I know that Rufus is not at all an aggressive dog – he was just excited about his new food (he had never had wet dog food before) and their son startled the puppy from behind while Rufus's food was being prepared. But the county says that because the boy needed a few stitches, they have to kill Rufus and took the puppy from the family.
The child is not traumatized, the family loves the dog and wants him to live!

Roughly 300,000 people in the United States suffer from scleroderma. This chronic connective tissue disease results from an over-production of collagen in the skin and other organs. Scleroderma usually appears in people between the ages of 25 and 55. Women get scleroderma more often than men. The disease worsens slowly over years.
There are two types of scleroderma: localized scleroderma, which involves only the skin, and systemic scleroderma, which involves the skin and other organs, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, intestine and gallbladder. Typical symptoms of the skin include skin hardening, skin that is abnormally dark or light, skin thickening, shiny hands and forearms, small white lumps beneath the skin's surface, tight facial skin, ulcerations on the fingers or toes and change in color of the fingers and toes from exposure to heat or cold. Other symptoms impact bones, muscles, lungs and the digestive tract.
There is no known cause of scleroderma, nor is there a cure. There are individualized treatments that are designed to help alleviate certain symptoms and decrease the activity of the immune system to further slow down the disease.

Michael Dawkins is the designer of some of the most beautiful and unique jewelry in the world. Most of the time, this jewelry is only available at high end retailers like Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue. But as any eBay warrior will tell you, you can find anything you want on eBay. That includes Michael Dawkins jewelry. There is an abundance of Michael Dawkins jewelry on eBay.com. And it comes at a great price. Most of Dawkins pieces go for far more in retail shops than you will find on eBay. That is the real secret to buying Dawkins pieces on eBay; they are a steal.
There can be some dangers to buying jewelry online. It is important to make sure what you are considering buying is a genuine Dawkins piece. Dawkins is popular enough that there are copies and knock offs out there. Be sure to shop only with a top rated eBay seller that you trust to give you what you pay for.

It may help to do a little research on Dawkins pieces before you start looking for Michael Dawkins jewelry on eBay.com. Knowing what you want before you go shopping can save you lots of money and heartache. Don't be afraid to ask questions of the seller.

|Please tell me someone else watches this show. This fourth and final season is going to premiere TOMORROW.
In case you don't know what LoK is, let me explain. It's another Last Airbender cartoon from Nickelodeon. But, while the first is more for kids, this show has a lot more of an adult feel to it. There has been suicide, murder and actually really well-written villains and characters throughout the show.
LoK is canon with Avatar: The Last Airbender, but takes place in the future. Korra is the Avatar directly after the famous Aang, and instead of trying to fill his left behind legacy, she does things her own, very reckless way.
This is probably a terrible summary, but I highly recommend the show.

|I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. Been watching since they put the first episodes out online to see if they could generate interest before they started airing on Nick.
There are so many people who want to deny it's in the same canon with "Last Airbender," and those people need to suck it up and accept that Korra's an awesome chapter in this expansive world.
I also really dug the Equalists, as her first antagonist. I mean, people with bending abilities have an obvious advantage over those who don't, and it's not surprising to see benders turn to crime with other baddies out there like the Triple Threat Triad. The Equalists had a point.
Shame their leader was a fraud, but damn was Amon a great villain!
I love looking up Equalist propaganda fanart.
And YES, Korra is not really for kids. It is, but it really, REALLY isn't.

|Didn't get to season 3 yet, but part of me is excited that I can binge watch rather than hate myself for 6 days at a time for a few weeks. And I agree that its a lot more adult. I'm quite a fan of media that grows up with its original fanbase. The animation is stunning at times and...that soundtrack.
And I totally agree with Rogue. While I enjoyed the stakes much more in Season 2, I LOVED the eerie realism portrayed in Season 1. Even down to the spoiler tag Rogue posted, there was something terrifyingly real about it.

Church in 中目黒 (Nakameguro)Sunday, September 23rd, 2012
Hello again everyone!
I hope you all are doing well.
I just wanted to share some pictures from our last thanksgiving service at TWT (Tokyo Worship Tabernacle). I hope you all enjoy it.
Here is Nat on the drums. He was just playing around a bit and all I said was, "Hey Nat!".
We had an awesome service that day!
Sister Arlene.
Here is little Rens playing after service. Let me tell you, that boy has a LOT of energy! I told Dennis and Rebecca Lyons that I wish I had even 1/16 of his energy.
Dennis was trying to get Joshua from playing with the pamphlets and the stroller.
We had a great service and then a great time afterwards with all of the fellowship.
I'm sorry I don't have a lot of pictures from this service. We had a really good altar service after the message so there wasn't a lot of time to get pictures. Sorry!
Y'all have a great weekend and God bless you all!

Drawing Board: Summit Motoryachts 54
Summit Motoryachts 54
Hull No. 1 of Kadey-Krogen's New Motoryacht Company (yes, you read that right) marches towards completion.
You may not know Summit MotorYachts—not yet at least—but you certainly know its parent company, Kadey-Krogen, and their world-respected, long-range cruisers. According to the builder, its new line of planing motoryachts is a reflection of market trends and a thirst from younger boaters for Kadey-Krogen livability coupled with a bit more wind in their hair.
"We want to make history again," says Kadey-Krogen Vice President Larry Polster. "40 years ago, we made history with the launch of the first 42, we want to do that again with another beloved brand but with a different mission."
The first yacht in the line will be the Summit 54, a 58-footer that should be capable of speeds in the mid-20 knot range. Bringing this new venture to life is a dream team of designers; Michael Peters was tapped to create the hull and exterior styling while Espinosa Yacht Design and Katie Astras tag-teamed the interior. Tasked with building this mountain of a project is Asia Harbor Yacht Builders in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, the same company that has been building Kadey-Krogens for more than 25 years.
Gallery: Summit 54
"We saw a void in the motoryacht space," says Polster. "A lot of people are building flybridge motoryachts, but no one is building it to the level of quality and classic styling that we do. I think that there are a number of folks that are younger and more affluent that don't have quite as much time to enjoy being out on the water. In some ways this line could be a feeder to the full displacement market."
Power for the speedier sibling is a pair of 715-hp Cummins QSM11s with straight shafts. When matched to the Peters hull the builder is expecting the 54 to get on plane in the high teens, cruise optimally at 23 knots (where range will be about 330 miles) and top out near 26 knots. Not focused on speed alone, this builder understands that you need control to be comfortable underway, which is why they designed upper and lower helm stations.
Early renderings show the option for a flag blue hull—which, for me at least, helps accentuate just how much of a departure this new line will really be. Inside you can see that, while the finish is more typical of what you see on other motoryachts of this size, the executive team has been putting their experience at Kadey-Krogen to good use.
Recent construction shots from the builder show that the hull was released from the molds in May and there's a lot of work still left to do, but she should be on track to make her U.S. debut at the Miami International Boat Show in February 2020. Production is expected to be similar to that of Kadey-Krogen in that it will be a production boat but not mass produced. "We want to keep our quality high. We're not going out there to become a huge production builder that cranks out 30 or 40 a year," says Polster.
When asked if they feared Summit MotorYachts competing with Kadey-Krogen, the executive team is unconcerned. "It's definitely not going to compete with what we have: one is full displacement and one is planning," explains Polster. "In the auto world it's like saying the Cadillac CTS competes with the Escalade. They're different vehicles for very different missions."
When asked about the decision to build this new line under a new company name, rather than have the Summit line live under the Kadey-Krogen banner, Polster explains that they wanted to make it clear to the market that this boat isn't a Kadey-Krogen with a new bottom and bigger engines: What they're bringing to market comes from a clean sheet of paper.
When searching for a name for the new brand, says Polster, they were looking for words that described the boat. "We want this to be the pinnacle, the peak of yachting."
It's an ambitious goal in a crowded space, but I've spoken with enough ocean-crossing Kadey-Krogen owners to know that there are a lot of people out there who feel like this company has been there before.

Moving to Scotland from the US has become more popular for many Americans. Many American expats find that after they move to Scotland that they don't even want to come back. Some people believe that moving to Scotland seems difficult, but with the right help you can move your entire home with no hassle at all.
With over four decades of experience, Schumacher Cargo Logistics has completed thousands of moves to Scotland. We have streamlined the moving process, helping us deliver our customers the best value for their shipment.
Read our Scotland moving guide below and start your international move today!
How to Move to Scotland from the USA
With so many people thinking about coming here, we compiled a guide on how to move to Scotland. There are many nuances to moving to parts of the UK which we'll explain below.
Steps for International Moving to Scotland
- Calculate Volume of Goods
- Get a Quote
- Ship your Goods to Scotland
- Receive your Goods Overseas
Volume to Ship to Scotland
Before starting your move to Scotland, create an estimate for the volume you want to ship. Once you know the size of your move, you will have a better understanding of the necessary services. Each move is unique and knowing what you are actually moving will allow you complete the process successfully. We can also work with you based on preset amounts such as a 2 bedroom apartment, though we'll want a more concrete number before the move.
How Much Does Moving to Scotland from the US Cost
Once you have a estimate for the size of your move, the next step is to complete a quote request. Each particular move will have a different price due to factors such as volume or origin. For this reason our representatives create custom quotes for every move to make sure you get the most accurate information. To illustrate the difference, the price for moving to Scotland from LA will be different than from NY even for the same goods.
Request a custom quote for your move to Scotland through our Online Quote Form
Export Your Goods to Scotland
Our door to door moving service makes it easy to export goods to Scotland. We pick up the goods from anywhere in the US then pack and load them into a container. They will then ship once the container is ready to go. You will receive a Bill of Lading and message as the ship leaves which includes an ETA for the arrival.
Transit Time for Shipments to Scotland
There are many variables that affect the overall amount of time your move will take. Generally from your door to the port in England, it takes about 5-7 weeks from the East Coast. The actual time to move the goods to your door in Scotland has so many factors that we rather your representative give you an estimate once they have all your move details.
As premier international movers, we do everything possible to meet estimates but these should serve as a guide rather than exact times.
Complete the Move Overseas
The main port for importing goods consolidated goods in Scotland is Southampton, England. When shipping your own container the port is Grangemouth, Scotland. For shipping household goods to Scotland, we offer door to door services meaning you can choose for us to deliver anywhere in the country.
When arriving, your goods enter the custom clearance process. Once they clear, they will be unloaded and a representative will contact you regarding the next step. Your delivery will be scheduled as transit is secured and then delivered to your door. After receiving your goods, all that's left is to enjoy your time as an expat in Scotland.
Moving Services to Scotland
When moving to Scotland from the US, there are a few different services to ship your household goods. Each service has its own benefit, and when you start working with us we'll recommend the best choice.
Consolidated Container Moving to Scotland
Consolidated moves are the most popular way of moving to Scotland. This is because it offers the most value for the goods you are shipping. Consolidations involve taking multiple customer's goods to fill a container together. In this case, you only pay for the space you use and not for the full container by yourself.
Full Container Moving to Scotland
We offer full 20 and 40 foot containers to move to Scotland as well. These containers hold around 1000 and 2000 cubic feet respectively. If your volume is close to these values, it is better to get your own full container. It will still be value for the space as you use all of it and your goods will also arrive more quickly since it skips the consolidation period.
Air Freight Moves to Scotland
Air freight moves are more uncommon as they are more expensive than the other two options. Though this is also the fastest way to move to Scotland. For the most part, air freight is only used when speed is the only factor and price is not an issue.
Fun and Interesting Scotland Facts
- Scotland's national animal is the unicorn
- Golf was said to be invented here
- There is the most redheads per capita

I have linked to some of the authors, who are also fellow bloggers.

Not shabby for a dyslexic :) I don't keep a list ... but I've loved many from yours. Happy reading in the next year.ReplyDelete
You've read a lot of books on my to-read list, and I can see you're a Terry Pratchett fan (my husband rereads his books every year he loves them so much). I've been trying to keep a list too, but I keep reading books and then forgetting to write them down. I have GOT to get back to a place where I can find a dependable supply of books in English!ReplyDelete
Happy New Year, Bish, if I don't 'see' you again in 2009!
I ditto Vijaya--well done! I think I'll post a list on my blog so I have a record of books read in the year. I love your description of how you get caught up in a story. Up to my knees soaking wet describes it for me, too.ReplyDelete
I was surprised, Vijaya, by how many books I actually got read.ReplyDelete
Mary, I LOVE Terry Prachett. I haven't read a book of his yet that I wasn't thoroughly entertained by.
Thanks MG. Your list of books has further inspired me to read...more.
Keeping a list--what a fantastic idea! You've read some wonderful books. Some of the titles are still in my "to be read" pile. Now I'm inspired.ReplyDelete
Wow, you read a TON of books! I think I only read about 30, but that's pretty good for me.ReplyDelete
Have a Happy New Year!
Awesome list! I've read some of these books as well this year. I love hodge-podge eclectic. It's the spice of life! :0)ReplyDelete
Cynthia, I had to start keeping a list so I could remember what I had read! I'm really liking it.ReplyDelete
Thanks Elana. I know people who read a lot faster than I do and whose lists are waaaaaay longer than mine. Kind of makes me jealous.
Christy, so many books to read. Long ago I realized the only regret I have is that I will not live long enough to read all the books I want to read.
Great List! I love seeing what other people read. I'm going to check out a few on your list.ReplyDelete

Laws of the Northwest Territory
The Northwest Territory was established by the Congress of the Confederation, a governing body that preceded the United States Congress. The Congress adopted "An Ordinance for the Government of the Territory of the United States North West of the River Ohio," commonly known as the Northwest Ordinance, on July 13, 1787.
The Northwest Territory was initially administered by a Governor, who also served as Commander of the militia. Three judges were also appointed to run a court system. The governor and judges had the power to establish laws. A Territorial Secretary was appointed to document the acts and laws passed by the governor and judges in the region and other public records. The Ordinance allowed for the formation of a legislature when the area reached a population of 5000 men. The Territorial Legislature could write and adopt laws on a wide variety of topics, which were recorded by the Territorial Secretaries and forwarded to the U.S. Congress.
The laws of the Northwest Territory to 1800 were collected into a single volume and published in 1925. These laws are available digitally:
The Laws of the Northwest Territory, 1788-1800, edited by Theodore C. Pease. Collections of the Illinois State Historical Library, volume 17; Law series volume 1. Springfield, Ill.: Trustees of the Illinois State Historical Library, 1925.

new zealand 2004 - day 6
back to nz 2004
[ day 5 | day 7 ]
routeburn track, lake mackenzie
november 30, 2004
read about the day
The Routeburn Track is one of New Zealand's Great Walks. The most famous of the Great Walks is the Milford Track which usually books up to a year in advance. But the Routeburn was closed due to avalanche danger just two days before we started, so you know it had to be good! Turns out the track closed the day after we hiked out (yet another freak snow storm). We met 4 Brits (3 groups) on our shuttle to the track - all of whom had been traveling the world for the past 2 months, all with various experience, all starting on the Routeburn with us under overcast skies.
The shuttle drops you off at 10:00 which is an outrageously late start for us. However, it was almost summer and we had another 12 hours of light to hike by. The permitting on the Routeburn is strictly enforced so we HAD to get to Lake Mackenzie that day - 15 miles in. It was either Lake Mackenzie or Routeburn Falls (6 miles in). The trail was very crowded at the start because of guided day hikes and guided walks. We encountered many "pink jacket brigades" - groups of 12 or more elderly japanese women (sometimes men too) dressed in pink and purple jackets, led by a tall white Kiwi speaking japanese. We pressed fast and hard on this part to get away from the crowds.
The trail is beautifully maintained, but it can be quite steep for a "popular" trail. We grunted our way up from Routeburn Flats to Routeburn Falls Hut where the rain turned to sleet. Routeburn Falls is at bushline, so we stepped under the shelter to put on warmer clothes for the alpine crossing and to eat some quick energy. I couldn't help nosing around the facility - it is enormous and very cushy with bunks that have mattresses, and giant kitchens and tables for hutters to use. Many people hike to this point and stay in the hut on the first day. We weren't even halfway to our destination.
We enjoyed the light that the heavy beech forest had denied us to this point. Snow dusted the shrubs and grasses as we picked our way over puddles - delighting in the solid earth beneath our feet in contrast to previous hikes on this trip. The route meandered across to a bench and then to the blast zone where DOC crews had blown out avalanches the day before. They were clearing the trail out from all of the snow and one of them told us we'd be at the saddle soon, but not to stop on the avalanche section. I felt like yelling, "It's Saruman!!!" on that section, but I didn't. Instead, I stopped just long enough to get a picture of Harris Lake and skidaddled on out. It continued to snow.
Finally at Harris Saddle, we jumped into the shelter for some lunch and a break from the wind. The British pair from our shuttle was there finishing their lunch and preparing to leave, obviously headed for Lake Mackenzie too. They were strong hikers (more on this in day 7). Unpacking our food sacks, I remember we needed a picture of Flat Stanley. After our lunch, we resumed the cold, wet track which seemed to contour in and out, but rarely down. The maps were nearly useless at 1:75,000 meters and so we had little idea of how far we had to go. Oh, and visibility was nil as we walked the clouds. The grasses that hung over the track were heavily laden with rain which emptied onto my pant leg, down inside my gaiters, into my boots. We were soaked from thighs down to our feet.
The trail eventualy descended into a bowl where the clouds let up just long enough for us to determine that the white building on the far shore of the lake was the hut. We switchbacked down to treeline and the world of moss until we came upon the hut. Gaiters and socks were hung under the porch roof and inside the kitchen you heard loud, happy, warm voices. A sign pointed into the wet trees and said, "tent sites". We proceeded to the cook shelter where to our joy, there was a roof, two tables, and a sink. After setting up the tarp and tent at one of the tent sites (there was one other tent), we cooked a lot of hot food and huddled under the shelter. Being cold, wet, but not rained on is better than being cold, wet, and rained on. A cold front was moving through then and the rain turned to snow. The warden came by to check our ticket and chat. He said there were supposed to be 10 campers, but only 4 including us showed up. He figured since it was 6 miles to the end of the Routeburn, the ones coming in decided to bag and hike back out. Our British friend (Pete) emerged from their tent to wash pots and say a shy "hello". I wrung the water out of my socks. We retired to the tent around 9:30 and changed to dry clothes. It was quite cold in our summer tent, but we slept soundly.
