Muriel Gray is new patron for Trees for Life
We're delighted to announce that following her planting of the half millionth tree in our project in June, Muriel Gray has accepted our invitation to become a Patron of Trees for Life.
Muriel lives in Glasgow and has been a well-known public figure in Scotland (and throughout the UK) since the 1980s, when she was the presenter for television programmes such as The Tube and The Media Show. Subsequently, she established her own television production company, which is now the largest in Scotland, and has developed a writing career, both as a newspaper columnist and as an author of fiction - several of her books have been bestsellers.
A great lover of the outdoors, Muriel has also written a book about climbing the 'Munros' (as the mountains over 3,000 feet high in Scotland are known), and is a self-confessed 'tree fanatic'. As such, she responded very enthusiastically to our invitation to plant the half millionth tree for us, and her presence made the day into both a media success and a great celebration.
With her effusive, outgoing personality, high media profile and love of nature in Scotland, Muriel makes an excellent Patron for Trees for Life. The establishment of the role of Patron, and Muriel's acceptance of it, are important steps forward in our initiative to promote Trees for Life more widely. We see this as crucial to gaining more support for our work, particularly in helping to increase our membership and the levels of donations which we receive.

Employment Opportunities with Accel Rentals Abound
Over its nine-year history, Accel's workforce has grown in proportion to its sales,
increasing by double and triple digits year over year.
Getting involved with Accel Rentals, however, is no walk in the park. Our desire to be
the best fuels our drive to the top, and those who share that vision of success will thrive
in the Accel environment. Among the key elements that Accel values:
Service First
The customer may not always be right, but they are always valued. Therefore, every
employee is trained to provide optimal service to our clients. Whether this means
smiling as you greet a caller, making an emergency delivery when the client realizes
they'd forgotten to order martini glasses, or wiping each chair clean before it goes out
on site, we give our clients a complete experience.
Investment in Our Craft
Accel prides itself on being the leader in the Hawaii industry, pioneering the use of
products, policies, and procedures destined for success. From the introduction of
"stellar lighting" to the practical implementation of "virtual inventory" to being the first
to offer event site inspections as a service, Accel has proven to be a successful risk-
taker, never afraid to lead the way.
Nobody exists in a bubble. Our entire operation, from management to sales, delivery
to cleaning, is totally interrelated. Our team-based structure is based on success as a
group. Although we all have different job duties, we are all equal in trying to achieve a
common goal. And therefore, when duty calls, it is not uncommon to see an accountant
answering sales calls, or a salesperson helping to load the truck, or an operations team
member passing out business cards and pricelists. We multitask so that things get
done, goals get accomplished, and everyone succeeds.
Positive Attitude
We approach every situation as a challenge that we can solve and overcome, even when
others throw in the towel. Whether its a chef who needs a kitchen set up in the middle
of a grassy field, a corporation who wants to stage a movie premier on a historical
battleship, or a client who needs a tent in an hour, we try our best to help out. And we
always see the glass as half full.
Interested? Come Join Our Team!
If you are someone who is looking for an opportunity to succeed; if you are someone
who loves to be part of a winning team; if you are someone who wants to make a
difference, Accel is for you. Send a paper copy of your resume to: Employment, Accel

Jonathan Rhys Meyers Is NBC's New Dracula
Former "Tudors" star Jonathan Rhys Meyers is set to play Dracula on NBC.
On Monday, NBC's Chairman of Entertainment Bob Greenblatt told reporters at the Television Critics Association summer tour that the network had picked up the show, also called "Dracula," to series.
The show is being described as a "provocative" version of Bram Stoker's classic, set in 1896.
The series begins when Dracula arrives in London, pretending to be an American entrepreneur, who claims he is trying to bring modern science to Victorian society. His real goal is to enact revenge on people he believes have wronged him.
Dracula's one problem with revenge occurs when he falls in love with a woman, who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife, according to NBC.
The show is based on a script by co-executive producer Cole Haddon.
Carnival Films, the studio behind PBS hit "Downton Abbey," Flame Ventures, Playground, Sky Living and Universal Television will co-produce the show.
Production on the show, which has had an order for a 10-episode series, begins later this year.

FAC 202–01: Billable Services
To describe the processing of billable services
Facilities Management
All departments or individuals who require billable Facilities Management services
Requests for services that are billable to the requesting department require the entry of an internal purchase order in the university financial system. An encumbrance must be generated for each billable service.
Expenses for all active jobs will be passed to the university financial system via an Interdepartmental Invoice created by the Facilities Management Information System (FMIS), the Facilities Management work order system.
The requesting department is charged for labor and materials used to complete the project. See the specific service units at the Facilities Management Web site for examples of billable services.
Current labor rates will be posted in ASU Insight by July 15 each year.
The requesting department enters an internal purchase order (PO) using vendor FACMAN with one of the following dollar amounts:
The department references the PO number in an e-mail message to FACMAN or in a memorandum.
Note: Requests for billable services received without this information will be returned to the requester.
The Service Center reviews the request to determine if the encumbered amount will be sufficient. If insufficient, the Service Center requests an increase in the encumbrance from the department or cancels the request and returns it to the requester.
For instructions on completing internal purchase orders, see the Purchasing Department Policies and Procedures Manual—PUR 302–01, "Internal Purchase Orders."

Taffeta Scoop Neck Ruched Bridal Gown with Tiering Style PK3472 44 44
Simply Elegant This was the fourth dress I tried on. Didn't need to look any further. The straps as mentioned above need some alterations but other than that, it fit beautifully. This dress has the perfect combination of elegance and sass. I feel like a movie star in this dress!!! I ordered it at the store and can not wait for it to arrive!!!! 30 minutes of dress shopping is all it took for me :) Thank you Davids Bridal! March 25, 2014
Great Dress...But I love how flattering this dress is, but beware the straps. The straps are made to lay on the edge of your shoulders, which I do not find comfortable. I was getting cuts on my shoulders from the straps slipping off my shoulder, so I had them alter the dress so that the straps lay more towards the center of my shoulder. SO much better after the fix! It's a great dress, but make sure the straps do not leave red marks after 15-20 minutes or they will show in your pictures. But, if the straps are not comfortable, they can fix them! February 15, 2014
Simply stunning. My story is similar to many others who have already reviewed this dress: this was the LAST dress I tried on and it took me about 30 seconds to realize I would no longer be looking for a gown. It is form fitting with the perfect amount of flare. The scoop neck is beautiful, I love the straps, the back is a beautiful low scoop, and it comes with a simple yet beautiful sash (my bow will be in the back). At first, I wasn't crazy about the tiered layers on the bottom, but they've grown on me :). This gown is stunning! January 31, 2014
Unexpected Love I came in to the store looking for lacey, vintagey looking dresses. After trying on every single one on my list and hating them all, and then 20 more, I was ready to give up. We had our attendant, plus the store manager, plus the alterations lady, plus my mom and bridesmaids trying to find me something I would remotely like. My mom saw this in the catalog and told me to try it on. I really didn't like it at all, until I put it on! It fit perfect, made everything look amazing. So simple and so beautiful! Not a fan of the bow, but it's easily removed. The picture does not do it justice. January 25, 2014

Another wonderful International CES has passed us by. The event was filled with many exciting displays, like the Intel Ultrabook Tree, but most important were the announcements made by many manufactures. Some announcements are still years out, embodying nothing more than an idea. Other announcements having working prototypes, while still others are in the final stages before release or have been released.

Another International CES event is in the bag. In attendance for 2013, was XDA Developer TV Producer Jordan. In this video, he talks about his experiences over the four days he spent in Las Vegas attending the showcase of consumer wares. He starts out talking about the CES Unveiled event, CES Press Day and the exposition itself.
Jordan mentions the other videos released last week and this week from International CES 2013. These videos include the Huawei Ascend Mate Hands-On, the Sony Z and ZL Hands-On, the Press Day recap and the Nvidia unveiling, so check out this video and the others from CES.

At the 2013 International CES, graphics powerhouse Nvidia released three excellent technologies. The first was its gaming device based on Android called Project Shield. The second was the next generation Tegra processor, the Tegra 4. It features 72 GPU cores, 4+1 CPU cores, and the ability to work with 4G LTE. Finally, they released the Grid, as someone said, making cloud gaming "a thing."
XDA News Specialist Jordan was on site, and got a chance to talk with the people a Nvidia about their technologies. In this video, he shares what he learned and shows off the devices. Check out this video to see what is in store for Nvidia.

At the 2013 International CES, manufacturer of the year Sony released two phones. The phones are similar and share similar names. These devices are called the Sony Xperia Z and Xperia ZL. The Xperia Z is water and dust proof while the Xperia ZL has a hardware camera button.

At the 2013 International CES, Chinese manufacturer Huawei (which we were constantly told was pronounced "wah-way") released two phones. The most interesting phone is the Huawei Ascend Mate. This device packs a 6.1-inch HD display, an 8-megapixel camera, a 4050 mAh battery, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and a quad-core processor. This huge device garnered a lot of attention.
XDA News Specialist Jordan was on site and got a chance to get his hands on the Ascend Mate. This device has the potential to turn Huawei from an also-ran to a contender on par with the likes of Samsung or Sony. Or does it? Check out this video to see what the Huawei Ascend Mate looks like.

After a record breaking year for attendees, the 2013 International CES event has begun to much fanfare. Sightings of celebrities included Felicia Day of "The Guild" and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. There were a lot of people in attendance, as we were constantly getting bumped into and rolled over by wheelable bags.
We received notice that an Italian company would be talking about their new, improved Android Smartwatch. Being Android fanatics, we went to check it out. The presentation started 20 minutes late, so we are not sure about the reliability of the time telling feature. The device is called the i'm watch. However, the presentation did not talk much about the specifics of the device, and a stampede at the end of the presentation to see the watch left us unable to talk to anyone about the specs.
What we can glean from the brochure and presentation is that this device seems to be more about style and aesthetics than functionality. The brochure talks about the colors, the i'm cloud syncing function, and i'moticons. At the very end, the brochure talks about some basic specs. It has a 1.54-inch 220 ppi screen, 128 MB of RAM, and a customized version of Android. The device seems fairly limited. It could have development potential, though, but at an estimated price of almost $400, we can't recommend it just yet.
We got our hands on the Sony Xperia Z and Sony Xperia ZL, the Z being waterproof and the ZL having a stylized and prominent hardware power button. The overall feel of the phone is decent, and in talking with the Sony representatives present, will probably hit the Free Xperia Project once the device is released. No release date has been announced.
Finally, we got to hear some very excellent wireless speakers for your Android device. It was nice to see a company, Phorus, realize there is more to the mobile ecosystem that iOS and iPhones. I would highly recommend checking out their speakers if you can.

In case you haven't noticed, the industry event known as International CES is going on this week. Over the past couple of days, XDA Developer TV Producer Jordan got a sneak peak on what to expect from some of the industry's largest players in the television, audio, computing and mobile device segments.
In today's episode of XDA Developer TV, Jordan talks about what he has seen and what to look out for over the next year from these companies. He talks about what is coming from AudioVoxx, Netgear, and Sony.
Additionally, Jordan had a chance to see some previews of some interesting alternatives in the mobile operating systems arena. This includes the just announced Ubuntu for Phones and Boot 2 Gecko, the Mozilla operating system. Check out the video!
January 8, 2013 By: Jimmy McGee
Well the pre-CES announcements have already been made, and the first half of 2013 doesn't look too promising for new mobile devices. The theme of the announcements this year was cloud and smart. A lot of manufactures talked about connecting every device, from your mobile devices to your televisions to your washing machines.
LG and Samsung both talked about televisions with unimaginable amounts of pixels that are smart, as did Sony. These televisions are connected to your content and your mobile device. LG is going to be releasing 7 televisions with Google TV, and Samsung is bringing mobile technology to the television with search and more. Additionally, Samsung is releasing a refrigerator with a touch screen. However, it appears that it is actually just a low-end Android device. I look forward to the day when we announce the successful root of a refrigerator, followed quickly by a XDA Elite Recognized Developer AdamOutler's video tear-down of the Samsung fridge.
Also, Huawei announced some new devices, including the Ascend Mate, which is the largest smartphone in the world with its 6.1 inch screen, and the Ascend D2 that is supposedly the most powerful smartphone in the world. Marketing fluff perhaps, especially given how Huawei has quite a low end device stigma. Do they have the ability to pull a Hyundai and propel their name into the ranks of Samsung and HTC? Time will tell. But unless their contributions to the open source community improve as well, I think I will pass.
January 8, 2013 By: Jimmy McGee
After much fanfare and high production value videos and presentation efforts, including an XDA Elite Recognized Developer AdamOutler-style tear down and reassembly videos of cameras and mobile devices, the executives at Sony took the stage at CES to talk about their wares. They spoke about their commitment to pushing the envelope. They talked at length about their new televisions and 4K content.
But the really exciting part was when they announced the new Sony Xperia Z. With a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and a 5-inch full HD 1080p screen, the Xperia Z could be quite a contender. Talking with XDA Developer TV Producer Jordan, it did seem as though the Xperia Z was a bit of a me too device. "All the other manufacturers already have fancy, quad-core phones, so should we." However, Sony is being very generous with their support of the open source community, so it is nice to see that there is a decent phone that is fairly open to development. Also, Sony talked about their one-touch technology, where you can tap your phone on a speaker or television remote to get sound playing on the speakers or a video playing on your television.
I imagine that the Sony Xperia Z, with the right vendor relationships of course, will be a decent force in the mobile scene in the next few months. It looks like an also ran at this point, but the device has something special about it that you can't quite put your finger on.
January 7, 2013 By: Jimmy McGee
The day so far at CES has been filled with product announcements that, while exciting, don't excite us in the mobile development realm. Monster called up a cauldron of celebrity soup to hawk their headphones, people like Alicia Keyes and Xzibit—Yo Dawg, I heard you like celebrities…
However, Netgear claimed that 802.11ac is here, and any mobile device announced from here on out will have 802.11ac capabilities. They also announced that they are "doing Google TV right" with their NeoTV Prime.
At a different event, Intel began by talking about their next generation "Bay Trail" quad-core Atom processor, as part of their next generation tablet platform. The devices they showed mostly ran Windows 8, but this will presumably also include Android in the future. Will Bay Trail usurp the next generation Qualcomm Snapdragon, Samsung Exynos, and the rest of the mobile SoC army? We will have to wait until the 2013 Holiday Season to find out.
Additionally, Intel talked at length about convertibles. No, not cars. Tablets that can have their keyboards folded away or removed completely. Intel announced that all future convertible or tablet devices with their x86 Core processors must support touch and Intel Wireless Display technology. Finally, Intel made a grand statement about perceptual computing, which enables you to access your devices (including tablets) with your voice, multitouch, or vision. They claim their facial recognition log in cannot be defeated with a photo, but they did not prove it.
All told, Netgear having a stab and Google TV may just be the push that product needs. There is a lot of cool stuff we at XDA can do with Google TV and Android. Furthermore, Intel's new Atom line may help it break into the mobile market, but I doubt it will make much of an impact this year.
January 7, 2013 By: Jimmy McGee
International CES begins officially on Tuesday with the main event that everyone talks about, where exhibitors from around the world come to peddle their wares. There are press conferences on Monday, and to top it off, last night they had a pre-press event called CES Unveiled. Its purpose was to give people a preview of the exiting announcements and releases that would be happening over the week. To be honest though, I hope that Unveiled is not indicative of the rest of CES.
There was a disappointing lack of any cred to Android. There were many bobbles and bolt-ons for the iPhone and iPad, from external batteries for quick charges and fancy cases. There were a few Bluetooth speakers and headsets. However, often the press verbiage talks about optimization for the Apple products.
It seems odd to me that with Android market share being very large, manufactures are focusing primarily on the Cupertino Company and forgetting about the little green robot. Again, I certainly hope that this preview was not indicative of the rest of the show. I hope that manufactures are not blindly focusing on just one device in the huge mobile device ecosystem.
Some stand outs so far have been the 27-inch tablet from LG and the convertible tablet from Toshiba, both of which run Windows 8. Both devices feature x86 processors as well. The overall performance of the two devices was decent upon first look. However, when we port Android x86 to it, it could be even more interesting.
Check back later for more updates, as we bring you some of the most interesting sights at this year's CES!

Both dark, comical, intellectual dances were well-staffed by director Sean Mathias with a pair of British knights (Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart) in roles written for knights a generation back (Sir John Gielgud and Sir Ralph Richardson).
Stateside, he recruited two Tony winners (Billy Crudup and Shuler Hensley) to replace Simon Callow and Ronald Pickup, who opted not to make the trek to the U.S.
By dizzyingly quick turns, all four of these actors scampered across the sort of bleak, oblique, constantly changing mindscapes that only Beckett and Pinter could create. No Man's Land is set in a sparely appointed London apartment, but its emotional temperature is that of a frozen purgatory "which never moves, which never changes, which never grows older, which remains forever, icy and silent." The same could be said for Godot's lifelong waiting room, which Beckett only identified as "a country road," utterly undistinguished save for a tree that grows leaves during intermission.
In No Man's Land, Hirst (Stewart) has dragged home his pub pickup, Spooner (McKellen), a reprobate with illusions of elan who comes with a full tank of helium and hopes of charming his new best friend into free room and board for life. That plan is shot down by two young men, either Hirst's handlers or henchmen — Foster (Crudup) and Briggs (Hensley) — who are not about to be replaced by the old sot.
Waiting for Godot covers two days in the static, empty lives of Estragon (McKellen) and Vladimir (Stewart), a couple of existential vaudeville clowns on the road of life, waiting for ships that never come in. The only relief from their monotony is the comings-and-goings of a two-man parade — the pompous Pozzo (Hensley) and his luckless slave, Lucky (Crudup), who is mute except for a long gibberish monolog.
People were actually ice-skating in Bryant Park when the first-nighters filed into the Bryant Park Grill for the after-party. Press activity was, for the first time, away from the party-crunch and conducted two flights up on the canvass-covered rooftop.
Mathias recognized the potent, poignant chemistry McKellen and Stewart exuded when he put them through their Godot paces in London, but it was not an easy thing to import. He had to sweeten the deal with another play they could twirl in rep.

Raising Speckled Sussex Chickens
I purchased my Speckled Sussex Chickens from Dark Eggs Daily this year and I am so very happy with them. I have always enjoyed raising The Sussex breed of chickens, especially the Speckled Sussex. They are a very calm and docile breed of chicken that is very inquisitive in nature. They will follow you around chattering away to themselves around the yard looking for anything and everything to explore.
I have one speckled Sussex hen that we named Dora the Explore that flies up and over the fence everyday I let them out into their outside run. She will wander the yard all day exploring and chattering to herself.
Speckled Sussex Chickens are a great dual purpose breed that is bred for both meat and for excellent egg production, You can expect to get around 240-260 eggs a year form your Speckled Sussex hens. The light Sussex and the White Sussex breeds are the most prolific layers of the Sussex Chicken breed.
The Speckled Sussex is a popular breed for exhibitors as well as the backyard chicken raising enthusiast. Seriously what more could you ask for in a chicken.
Watch my video below and I will show you some of my Speckled Sussex chickens I got from Dark Eggs Daily Hatchery.
If you want a breed of Chickens that will suit every need a poultry enthusiast could want look into getting some Speckled Sussex from Dark Eggs Daily!

"Many people commented on this invitation we used for the rehearsal dinner. Service couldn't have been better. Cards were here within a few days. I talked to a customer service rep for help setting up the invitation and got great help."
"Ordering invitations online couldn't have been easier. WPD was so easy to work with and they were quick too! I absolutely love the finished product. I never would have thought that ordering something online instead of from a live person could be so easy and that the product would be so awesome. I will be back!"
"I was very happy with the invitations and response cards I received. They were delivered very fast as I did not have much time to get these sent and returned. The restaurant was very late in coming out with their spring menus, so printing earlier was not an option. I did have difficulty in finding suitable rehearsal dinner invites with matching response cards. Perhaps you could make the ordering easier when specific requests are necessary. I was very pleased with the end result and would order again and recommend to others!"
"Paper was thick and perfect! I was looking for something simple, yet elegant and this was perfect. Phone help was wonderful, I will use you in the future for sure!"
"I ordered this invitation with a gray background and bay-colored trim. It had an ivory border and lettering. I ordered the extra thick paper and rounded edges. I love the cards and can't wait to hear comments from our family and friends when they receive it. I had to edit the time of the event, so production time should have been extended. Instead the cards arrived 4 days ahead of schedule. My only wish was that the back of the card was also ivory (it was white,) and that ivory envelopes were available. Overall I am very happy with my purchase."

EAU CLAIRE, WI (WRN) - The man arrested after a Wednesday high speed chase at Mosinee has now been formally charged with murder in Eau Claire County.
41-year-old Ying Xiong is accused of killing Panhia Vue. An autopsy indicated Vue was strangled and badly burned. Her body was discovered Tuesday in a shed at the home the two shared in Altoona, just east of Eau Claire.
Investigating officers found signs of a struggle in a bedroom in the home. Vue was last seen alive on Sunday.
Police say Xiong fled the area Tuesday morning, switched vehicles, and drove 100 miles away to Mosinee. Xiong was arrested by Marathon County authorities on Wednesday afternoon.
Bond was set at half a million dollars cash at a Friday morning hearing in Eau Claire County circuit court. Xiong is due back in court on Tuesday.

It's kind of boring to say it, but the Renegade is, well, almost perfect. What stops it from being completely perfect is that the bum elastics seem to slip a tiny bit. Mind you, it's not enough for the legs loops to start slipping down your thighs, but I think after I've been wearing it all day they might be very slightly looser than when I put them on. If you are the type of person who gets massively upset by the suspicion that your harness leg loop elastics might slip a tiny amount over the period of, say, eight hours of climbing, then this most definitely isn't the harness for you. Then again, you'll probably be too busy with your therapy to have time for harness shopping anyway!
Toby using the Renegade - Haukkakallio

So what works on the Renegade? Well just about everything else.
The padding on both the waist belt and leg loops is firm and supportive whilst remaining light and un-bulky. The leg loops in particular are much firmer than on the harness I was using previously and this makes the Renegade much better for hanging in for any length of time. Of course if you are hanging in it for really long periods � I was cleaning cracks and scrubbing lichen off a soon-to-be new route yesterday for about an hour � you will be glad to get back to the ground, so don't think it provides unending armchair comfort, but it is just much better than many other harnesses that I've used.
The idea of having the waist-padding floating on the webbing of the waist-belt is a simple act of design genius. You get all the advantages of a double buckle harness � gear loops and padding always perfectly centralised, meaning all season versatility � with out the added weight and sewing complexity of two buckles. It is such an elegant and obvious solution to the problem you wonder why every harness isn't made that way. The buckles are low profile zip-lock style. For summer use I don't fully undo them at all, just tighten and go, but they fully open with ease meaning you could put the harness on over skis or crampons easily enough. Excess webbing on the waist and legs tucks neatly away behind elastic loops.
Seven gear loops seemed a lot at first, but split a big trad rack perfectly. No longer on my right side do I have to put my shortest draws and three krabs of wires all on one gear loop. Now my wires sit spaciously on one loop whilst twelve quickdraws can be split easily between the other two behind. Small cams go on the front rack on the left, bigger cams on the middle loop, and then I still have the third loop further back on left for hexes, tricams or whatever additional kit I might want on a long routes. The seventh loop, at the back in the middle, takes a belay device, prussiks, shunt etc. with ease.

The Renegade is going to be carry all the gear you need for even the most intricate of Gogarth routes or the longest climbs of the Scottish mountains. Additionally there are hypalon patches through which you can pass krabs to work as ice screw racks. With no alpine trips this summer I haven't had chance to really test these yet, but will do so once winter arrives, and from trying at home it seems to work.
Toby using the Renegade - Haukkakallio
© Toby A, Oct 2008
There has been a historical tendency for harnesses designed by continental-European companies to have minimal racking reflecting the greater prevalence of sports climbing. British harnesses have more often had plentiful gear loops for trad-racks. American harnesses, most notably Black Diamond, tend to have only four racks and a full strength haul loop at the back.
I've always thought this a bit odd as the U.S. has a thriving trad culture, with much bigger cliffs than we do, and although you can clip a belay plate and pussiks onto a haul loop, it is not nearly as convenient as a fifth gear loop. But BD makes well designed gear and they don't add bells and whistles for the sake of it, so many American climbers must regularly use a haul line system and need the haul loop. The Renegade doesn't have this feature, so of course that could be seen as a big disadvantage if you need one. But I suspect this really just reflects the main markets of the different manufacturers: DMM is a British firm who are predominantly thinking of the needs of the generic British climber when designing products and very few people use trail lines on this side of the Atlantic.
At 485 grams for a medium the Renegade is not heavy at all for a fully adjustable, well featured harness. My Black Diamond Alpine Bod, for many years the ultimate in lightweight harness design, weighs 395 grams, but from now on I'll take the Renegade for anything but the most lightweight mountain trips. The less than 100 grams weight penalty over the Bod is little to pay in return for the considerable comfort gains. Of course, in a similar vein to the haul loop comment above, the Renegade isn't super skinny sport climbing rig and there are much lighter harnesses out there but just don't expect them to be as comfortable or as versatile as the Renegade.
In the last year Arctryx's new range of harnesses using their �warp� technology (spreading the fibres of the webbing out to produce the padding of harness whilst still also providing its strength) have set a new technological highpoint in harness design, allowing them to shave another 100+ grams of the weight of a harness. Black Diamond are going to be producing a range of similar harnesses next year. This may well be the technology of the next decade of harness design, but it isn't a completely proven concept yet. But if this is the future, then the Renegade can be seen as one of the high points of the current harness technologies and manufacturing.
In Short:
Slim, lean, comfortable and able to carry the biggest of racks; the Renegade is simply a superbly designed and produced piece of climbing equipment. If you want a fully adjustable rig with loads of racking, for everything from single-pitch cragging through to serious, big winter routes, the Renegade is probably as good as you are currently going to get.

Klemtu has very limited dining options. Visitors should come prepared with food and supplies.
Bella Coola, Shearwater on Denny Island, Prince Rupert, and Port Hardy are all ports of call on the BC Ferries' route to Klemtu, and each have restaurants.
The one accommodation in Klemtu, Spirit Bear Lodge, does provide small kitchens in each of its six units. These kitchens are stocked with basic cookware and dishes. Meals are available in the dining room when booked in advance.
There are two small, but well-stocked grocery stores in Klemtu, located at the public dock and near the Spirit Bear Lodge. Note that food is supplied to the community via freight delivery, which significantly increases grocery prices.
Next door to the store at the public dock is a cafeteria, the only public eatery in the area. Join the locals for a hot meal and a friendly chat.

Early in February, Facebook released numerous changes to how Facebook pages now operate. The moment I reviewed these changes one of my first thoughts were towards the increased opportunities for building partnership marketing opportunities. The ability to post as your Facebook page as opposed to your personal profile will have a significant impact on your brand awareness and will have an impact on your apartment community.
Up until this point when you wanted to comment on a page that you "liked" it came from your personal profile. Now you can easily switch between your personal profile and your business page. It took me a little bit to figure out what needed to be done to accomplish this. Just as on your personal profile you have the opportunity to "like" various pages, with your business page you will need to "like" pages that you partner with in order to see them in your status feed and make any comments you wish. Think of the impact now this will have. Picture this scenario. Kim Cory from University Village partners with Formaggio's Pizza. Kim now has the opportunity to post and update as University Village. Now all the people who are fans of Formaggio's Pizza will see University Village commenting as opposed to Kim Cory. How do you think this will impact University Village's brand awareness? There would obviously be a significant difference. Take a look at this screen capture. The bottom image is an option that has been available from the get go. Tagging a fan page in an update was and still is a way to create brand awareness. The top image is part of what is new and available. You can now post on the wall of Facebook page as your page and you can comment in like manner.
Here is where I am going to through a process into the pot. What kind of time are you willing to spend to help create that brand awareness in your community? How often should you be posting and what should you be saying? What kind of impact could you expect from a solid comprehensive approach to partnership marketing using Facebook? Its real simple folks. People who are fans of University Village see them interacting with Formaggio's and that brings business to them. People who love Formaggio's but are not residents of University Village see the two brands interacting on Formaggio's page and that brings potential new residents to UV.
Statistics continue to mount regarding the amount of dollars shifting towards inbound marketing as opposed to outbound as a result of their cost effectiveness and much higher overall conversion. So the question is what will we be doing to leverage this for our communities? How quickly are you willing to make adjustments in your strategy and partnership marketing program to avail yourself of these tools? Please share any thoughts or expressions in the comment section below.

SJobs is the man! Awesome numbers
He is one awesome CEO. Some may not like his styles but he created NeXT and got a company that forced him out to buy them. And also brings back his original company from almost death. Then has Disney buy his other company he got from G. Lucas.
Mine as well
A lot of people complain and criticize his methods but I love the guy and I would totally do the same things he does with his company because although some people don't like it, its what makes Apple what they are and thats why they are succeeding now. Remember Apple without Steve? That was a disaster.
Ain't that the truth. I am looking for a Tim Cook as we speak
That's great! I need one so bad I can't even tell you. Those kind of people are so hard to find.
I agree. I got so lucky. I had to steal this one from Apple. Shhh
That works.
Steve has to be one of the best CEO's to date. He is very involved, and demonstrates the new technologies that Apple bring to us. He is the one-man PR team and really speaks to the people. Most companies can only wish to have someone of that stature leading them.
Not to cry about the writers (it's going on too much now), but I feel like this was a story a few months back.
Steve probably took his bonuses in Apple's stock. Apple stock is skyrocketed.
Something I sort of found interesting from the documents.APPLE INC filed this Form DEF 14A on Jan 07, 2011
Source: Apple Investor Relations SEC FilingsHowever, the bonuses represent a relatively small percentage of the executives' total compensation because the Company believes cash bonuses are less effective in attracting new executive talent than equity compensation, and such bonuses promote retention only in the short-term (the bonus performance period). In addition, the Company prefers to emphasize long-term shareholder value creation over annual operating results. Accordingly, the bonus program is modestly funded relative to those of peer companies, as reflected by the following:
• Mr. Jobs does not participate in the bonus program;
link 1
Link 2
Link 3
You hear it all the time because that is the same thing he gets. Thus the reason for it to sounds familar.
Do you read the links they post to gain the reasoning behind what people say back to you?

FORT MYERS: Crews spent Sunday working to extinguish a 150 acre brush fire in the area of I-75 and Alico Road near Southwest Florida International Airport.
The fire started Sunday afternoon on property belonging to Southwest Florida International Airport, but jumped across the road to property owned by Cemex, a rock quarry headquartered in Mexico, and to property owned by Lee County.
The fire did not affect airport operations.
Fire crews from South Trail, Estero, San Carlos, Bonita Springs, Lee Co. Port Authority, and the Florida Division of Forestry initially responded to the blaze.
Mike Weston, from the Florida Divison of Forestry says the windy, dry conditions made ideal conditions for a fire to burn and spread.
"The last time this happened about a year ago, it was a fire that we were on, off, and on, for a couple days. This is a little bit bigger than that fire," Weston said.
The fire was out by the time thunderstorms rolled through the area Monday morning.

To put your 24mm deep socket and ratchet on the oil pressure switch, you must remove the alternator cooling duct, HFM and intake manifold support bracket. I stuffed a paper towel in the alternator cooling duct so I wouldn't drop hardware or tools into it. Do this while the engine oil is drained (necessary to install the temperature sender, which replaces the engine oil drain plug). I placed a small funnel with a long tube on it to catch oil that leaked out when the pressure switch was removed, but it was only a few drops.

Seventy-one years ago, a sneak attack on the American fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, plunged America into World War Two.
Bud Taylor, an eighteen year old gunners mate, was aboard the U.S.S. Pennsylvania, December 7,1941. He was just finishing breakfast when all hell broke loose.
In less than two hours, 353 Japanese fighters, bombers, and torpedo planes wreaked havoc on the American fleet. The damage was devastating: 3,600 American casualties, and the loss, or severe damage, to 188 aircraft, eight battleships, three light cruisers, and four other vessels.
Although the Pennsylvania sustained two bomb hits, Taylor didn't know until after the attack that a case of "mistaken identity" may have saved his life.
As the "flagship" of the fleet, the Pennsylvania was a prime target of the Japanese. But its sister ship, the Arizona, was in its berth and since the ships looked much alike, the Arizona received the brunt of the attack. Eight bombs and one torpedo hit the Arizona. But it was the explosion of its magazine that dealt its death blow, engulfing it in flames, half sinking it, and taking much of its crew with it.
Most of those young sailors who survived at Pearl Harbor are gone now, the victims of old age instead of bombs.
Although Bud Taylor went on the fight in the Pacific and to bombard the French coast on D-Day, he will always remember the battle cry that carried American troops through World War Two to victory, "Remember Pearl Harbor".

Earlier this week, a reader copied me on an email that Sarah Copelin-Wood sent to some folks.
The email contains a long cut and paste job on the powers and duties of school boards vs. the State Board of Education. The pasted material focuses on the local board's power to "manage and control" the school system and plays down the state's power to intervene. I assume that Copelin-Wood sent the email to voice her displeasure with today's reckoning in front of the state Board of Education, which is considering ousting her and five other DeKalb school board members.
But what floored me more than the body of the email was what Copelin-Wood attached to the email. (By the way, she signed the email, "Ms. Sarah Copelin-Wood, Board Member DeKalb Board of Education – District 3.")
The attachment features an attack on SACS and Mark Elgart by longtime and vocal critic John Trotter, head of MACE and a frequent commenter on this blog where he has been quite open in his disdain for Elgart and SACS.
(Dr. Trotter, you may become a factor in today's hearing yet. And I hope they know that you copyright all your material.)
I wondered why Sarah Copelin-Wood would send out such explosive material when DeKalb is under probation by SACS and when the board is fighting for its life today in front of the state board. It seemed so damaging that I half wondered if the email was a clever fake created to make Copelin-Wood look bad.
I couldn't fathom that she would do something with such potential for harm to the board.
I was wrong.
Copelin-Wood just confirmed during the state Board of Education hearing that she did indeed send out the email, but said she didn't send it to any school employees. I expect the state intends to challenge that comment after the lunch break.
In her own defense, Copelin-Wood maintained that, while an employee of DeKalb Schools may have received the email, it would have been sent to their personal email, not their work email.
Trotter has been a longtime critic of SACS and Elgart, as this essay — the one attached to Copelin-Wood's email — shows.
Here is an excerpt of what Copelin-Wood sent from Trotter's piece:
Forget SACS! Forget the Overblown and Puffed Up and Self-Perceived Education Zeus, Mark Elgart! Hire Your Own Local Talent for Superintendent. Look What DeKalb County is Experiencing Now with its Latest Appointee from Little Lorain, Ohio! Look What Clayton County Experienced with Another Graduate of the Broad Superintendents Academy, Edmond Heatley! Go Local, School Board, Go Local! The Field is Black Unto Harvest! Appoint a Local Educator to be the Superintendent! Reject SACS and Go With the Georgia Accrediting Commission (GAC)
The school boards' cups runneth over with the great "advice" from SACS. The "cure" that SACS offers is much, much worse than any perceived aliments. (SACS's proposal: We'll solve the drainage problem in the sewer on 28th Street by blowing up the entire city, OK?) What are the real "ailments"? Potential loss of accreditation? Ha! This is a made-up, artificial ailment. This is only an ailment because Mark Elgart and Gang have decreed that it is an ailment.
Georgia schools boards ought to simply say, "Forget SACS!" Yes, "Forget SACS!" SACS is as full of bull as a Christmas Turkey! There's no real "standards." "Standards" that are not equally enforced are not "standards" at all. I have challenged Mark Elgart to a public debate (yes, public TV and everything) for many years now. What would be the topic? Topic: SACS arbitrarily and capriciously applies the standards that it espouses. I take the Affirmative, and Mark Elgart takes the Negative. What does ole Markie have to lose? Ha! He has always demurred. We call this being "a-scared" where I grew up.
DOE attorney Jennifer Hackemeyer questioned Copelin-Wood about the disparaging remarks about Elgart in the email attachement. However, DeKalb board attorney Bob Wilson jumped up and said it was not relevant. Copelin-Wood has the first amendment right to voice opinions, said Wilson.
"If she sent it to staff, it would have relevance. If she {Hackemeyer} can show it went to staff, fine. I will sit down," said Wilson.
Hackemeyer noted that the email was signed by Sarah Copelin-Wood as a school board member. "I have a right to question her based on the policy that talks about board communications."
More to come on this.

"Potential loss of accreditation? Ha! This is a made-up, artificial ailment. This is only an ailment because Mark Elgart and Gang have decreed that it is an ailment."
So let them rescind your accreditation. It sounds like Dr. Trotter says it doesn't matter. Do you need to graduate from an accredited school? Nah!

I teach, I would never put my career in front of the needs and future of my students. These 'leaders' are doing just the opposite. My colleagues often forget we teach not for ourselves but for our students. It does not matter how stressed you are, or how much you really want a raise, or anything else. As long as your students have what they need, that is all that matters. Clearly, they board has lost sight of their role. Their role is to ensure a quality education for the students, not a cozy job for staff and inflating lawyers pockets with these ill-intentenioned suits and filings.

DeKalb has, through incompetence, venality and a wondrous dearth of public-mindedness, positioned itself as the ideal candidate—for a forced conversion to charter school status.
Just as there are nations of the world unripe for democratic self-rule, the DeKalb School District will only find its true direction through individual choices made by parents entirely dependent upon the local public schools.
As for Dr. Trotter, what little I read of his daily postings brings to mind P.T. Barnum's famous observation: "There's a sucker born every minute." He's obviously found Get Schooled to be an excellent and cost-free vehicle with which to connect with suckers and thus augment his second-rate organization's revenues.
For which he owes you much more than I'm sure even he can say.

Maureen, thanks for all the coverage and the blog. Like DeKalb County teachers, you are overworked and underpaid.
What's most baffling to me is that Ms. Copelin-Wood thinks it's ok to send an email like this. The lack of judgment is troubling. Even if she feels this way, what is the upside to send an email, especially now, like this?
This illustrates the depth of the problem: it's not just that people in charge are doing things that many others and I think are bad, but it's that those people think it's ok to do these things.
In this case, Ms. Copelin-Wood is not only ignoring the message and instead critcizing the messenger, but she's also publicizing her poor judgment.
When I do stupid things (and I do them a lot), I try to avoid telling others about them.
This is like the guy who gets drunk at a party, puts on a lampshade, and then there's a photo of it. And then the guy sends the photo on to others, after the fact.
Have you no shame, Ms. Copelin-Wood?
February 21st, 2013
2:03 pm
Ms. Copelin-Wood is simply not competent to be a board member. Its hard to be surprised by anything she does. I saw her this summer spend 10 minutes of board time because she couldn't understand the difference between a negative fund balance and a negative cash balance. If that was her first year on the board, that would be bad, but excusable. But she has been on the board for 10 years and been involved in many budgets. And she couldn't grasp what the CFO was telling her. Now he didn't seem to comprehend that she had no clue and didn't do a good job of getting through to her, but I'm not sure it would have helped.
She is an embarrassment to her district.

I noticed you did not mention that Elgart stated he had circumvented Open Meeting rules by meeting with small groups private while they were searaching for a superintendent. And I believe I heard him state he had assisted in giving them guidance on the selection. Thus it appears his concerns over the Superintendent is because it was not who he wanted.
The majority of problems in DeKalb County are administrative from the School Board. As was pointed out there is a new majority board. It is ironic that everyone testifying, except Mrs. Copeland Woods were white. It is troubling the State School Board is predominately white. It appears when we talk about the 10 years of problems nothing was done as long as the superintendent was white.
The fact of the matter is there was testimony Dekalb School Board has a budget of $800 million a large percentage of which is spent on contracts.
I was in the room for part of this questioning and to be honest I found the SACS attorney to be totally out of line. Her whole attitude has been one of condescending and inappropriate. You fail to state she was off base in a lot of ways. What I find most troubling is it appears from the testimony of SACS that the probationary period was for one year beginning in December 2012. That DeKalb had until at least May 2013 before something could possibly happen. Instead less than 30 days later they are attempting to remove some school board members.
This is extremely troubling because these Board members were elected by the community in which they serve. Mike Thumond is the best person to take out children into the future. All of our children.
During the entire before noon testimony I heard not one words from SACS about the education the children receive, instead it was a bunch of petty political BS.
February 21st, 2013
2:15 pm
Please, please rid us of these incompetent board members. SCW should be the first one to go. Shame on you voters that keep re-electing her.
February 21st, 2013

"I was in the room for part of this questioning and to be honest I found the SACS attorney to be totally out of line."
I didn't know tht SACS had an attorney there. I thought it was the State BOE attorney.
"testimony of SACS that the probationary period was for one year beginning in December 2012. That DeKalb had until at least May 2013 before something could possibly happen. Instead less than 30 days later they are attempting to remove some school board members."
SACS is not looking to remove any BOE members – they do not have an authority to do so. It is the State BOE that can RECOMMEND to Governor Deal that he remove members.
February 21st, 2013

@justine, if that's how you fell them you can keep SCW. But give me back my tax money and my school and let me bring my schools to the standards they were (top 100 In the nation) in 2004. But don't make this into another race issue.
February 21st, 2013

Sorry, but this email should get her immediately dismissed from the Board. Outrageous.
February 21st, 2013

The Board has set all policies, procedures, and practices and allocated every dollar of funding. They have increased the millage rate to the highest in Georgia. Our student achievement rate is the lowest in metro Atlanta even when compared to demographically similar systems. Our teachers are the lowest paid in the metro area with not one dollar of those increased property taxes going to supplement their pay. The BOE has allowed a deficit to occur in our budget which is against the law.
Our students are not less intelligent, our teachers are not less hard working and our parents are not less involved than parents in demographically comparable metro Atlanta school systems. Management does count. Ask any of the teachers in any area of DeKalb if they feel the management is helping move students forward academically. The school system ONLY exists for students to master the content of science, social studies, language arts and math. This will allow them to get jobs when they are adults. That is the reason we pay taxes and should be the reason for EVERY BOE decision. Students do not get another chance at an education.
The SBOE is right to go hard on them.

While the DeKalb BOE has been a joke, I do not believe that all the members of the board should be removed. We just had an election that displaced several incumbents. We need to leave the newly elected board members and get rid of any incumbents.

@ Jim – The one that worries me the most is Melvin Johnson and his intimate ties to people in the administration and his ties to Lewis.

This is what I stated:
the three newly elected Board members should have to prove to the State:
1. Ability and knowledge to make competent decisions.
2. No family ties to anyone currently working in the system. No other income coming from the system.
3. No criminal history, able to pass a background check.
4. No personal ties to past superintendents or others currently involved in litigation.
We don't need anyone with any baggage on the Board if we are going to right the course for the district.

I stand corrected if Trotter (guess he's busy elsewhere today?) actually adds something beneficial to the mix. But his posts and his organization's website absolutely reek of cheesy self-promotion and ambulance-chaser type values (as much as anyone claiming to run a labor union can be said to have "values").
Perhaps he will drop in to set me straight?

Annual salary for DeKalb BOE is $18k\year with a small expense account. The real power lies with how much tax dollars can be steered to your family via salaries, benefits and pensions, and herein lies the friends and family issue!

I'll be that members of the DeKalb board would like to wine and dine one each Beverly Hall for their open position! Can hear their arguments now: 'SHE HAS NOT BE CONVICTED OF NOTHING!'

Perhaps people are forgetting one key point: Having complete and total disdain for DCSS and SACS are not mutually exclusive ideas.
You might question the wisdom (or lack thereof) of sending said email, but it's hard to question the truth of the sentiment, however "colorful" the language may be.
Again colorful though it may be, Dr. Trotter has offered to debate Mark Elgart in a formal debate setting, but seemingly lacks the truth of his convictions to engage in a legitimate debate as to how SACS conducts its business. Admittedly, there's not much to gain, (the gravy train flows rather freely from the government teat for Markie Mark according to reports) and there's plenty to lose.
For example, you think Markie Mark wants any part of being accountable for explaining why he (according to this very paper, correct me if I'm wrong Maureen) would try to use his "outside influence" to meet in private with an APS board member in order to micromanage the Atlanta Board of Education into naming a board chair who (according to this very paper, correct me if I'm wrong Maureen) actively conspired to coverup widespread, systemic cheating?
You think Markie Mark wants any part of that conversation? Or a host of other questionable at best actions?
But if SACS is in the "bidness" of criticizing the governance of others, is this not a fair and legitimate conversation that needs to take place, seeing as Markie Mark is doing this with taxpayers' funds?

Well, Sarah Copelin-Woods is gone.
"SACS is as full of bull as a Christmas Turkey!"
Wow… Such eloquence. My wife teaches in the same district that SCW serves. She is not looked upon favorably. Many that I've talked to have wanted her out. But, based on the election results, I guess it is a stark minority somehow. Hopefully, she will be ousted for good. The board needs an overhaul, and the people are too satisfied with status-quo it appears.
February 21st, 2013
5:13 pm
Perhaps he will drop in to set me straight?
Well @Google you could probably call them the PETA of teacher organizations there is no doubt. But when nobody (certainly not GAE or PAGE) was willing to talk about the widespread, systemic cheating in APS, Dr. Trotter was willing to. And in retrospect, he was years ahead of the curve.
When nobody (certainly not GAE or PAGE) was willing to call DCSS "gangsta" when Dr. Trotter was called "over the top" for doing so, what happened?
Can you say Rico Indictment? Admittedly referring to a sitting school superintendent as "Candy @ss" might not be the most subtle description, but in retrospect said superintendent might fondly recall the moniker as being more preferable than "convicted felon" no?

"I lol when the former board chair claimed his letter of recommendation was inappropriately quoted. Apparently he does not understand that it is wrong to write a letter of recommendation for ANY family member of ANY employee when he is on the board (much less board chair)."
Walker refers to a Board secretary. His daughter-in-law Dee Brown and one other employee are the Board secretaries. Any chance that the brother of the board employee is his daughter-in-law's brother? The only other possibility is that it is the brother of her colleague. Walke's daughter-in-law, the Board secretary makes $58,000 a year not including benefits. Walker's son as a security officer makes $69,000 a year not including benefits (the year before he made $62,000 a year not including benefits so he had a hefty raise – see state salary and travel website). Walker also has numerous other relatives employed at DCSS.
February 21st, 2013
5:43 pm
I think SACS ought to investigate the poor poor poor education many, who need it the worst, are receiving in Dekalb and Clayton. There is no emphasis on excellent in many schools anymore. That is e en worse than the board antics. The City of Decatur and some pockets in other systems are doing so much more with much less.
February 21st, 2013
5:44 pm
I think just calling them SACS diminishes the actual authority wielded. They are a private holding company called AdvancED that owns SACS and most of the other accreditors in US apart from Western and New England. That they actively coordinate with. They also accredit globally under their own name and then work with UNESCO. Arne Duncan has given them veto powers over higher ed that mean disqualification from the federal student loan program for not following SACS edicts. And they are moving away from periodic accreditation to constant monitoring to get that continuous desired change.
So just calling them SACS greatly minimizes the hammerhold they have over education. And now they are accrediting preschools. At almost the precise time preschools are being pushed to add social and emotional learning components.
February 21st, 2013

I think we'd all do well to pay heed to the words of Invisible Serf. Impeccably researched (as best I can tell) I think Serf sheds light on issues the average person isn't even remote aware about, but would be wise to become acutely aware of .

The loss wasn't the only reason many Vikings fans left the home opener feeling sour. The new bag policy had many booing the restrictive size of the clear bags that are the only approved option on game day.
Plenty of people were turned away from the Metrodome on Sunday purely because of purse size, because anything that is not a clutch -- that is, smaller than 4.5 by 6.5 inches -- or in a clear 12-by-12-inch bag won't be allowed in the stadium. Furthermore, everything inside those clear bags must not be larger than 4.5-by-6.5 inches, meaning a lot of ladies found their wallets alone were too big to bring in.
After the Boston Marathon bombing, the NFL decided big bags -- including backpacks -- would become a thing of the past. In fact, the superintendent of the Boston Police Department recently visited the Twin Cities to talk safety -- and he said he hopes to see bags banned from nearly all sporting events.
Already, the NFL has fielded complaints from across the country. In Denver, one football fan had her car broken into during the game. Her purse was stolen, and she partially blames the new policy.
