She's perky, she's beautiful and she's mean. Ronda Rousey is set to make history on Saturday when she fights Liz Carmouche in UFC 157, but while she's very aware of the significance of her bout she's not shying away from letting the world know that she's the best female fighter in the world.
"It's fun, but I'm going to sit back and enjoy it after I win," Rousey told USA Today. "I was expecting it to be a chaotic, circus kind of thing. It met those expectations and a little bit more, but there's no amount of media, there's no loss of sleep, there's nothing that can really save Liz Carmouche from losing to me."
Rousey is doing more for the UFC's global exposure in the months since it was announced she'd fight in UFC 157 than any fighter has ever done for the sport before her. MMA is starting to catch on with more and more people as the fights go by but it's still not widely accepted by everyone as a legitimate professional sport.
The number of people that haven't signed on with MMA as a sport is on the low end but despite having big names like Brock Lesner and Jon "Bones" Jones come up through the ranks, the UFC hasn't gotten fair coverage in the sports media. With the arrival of Rousey on the scene, it's not just the sports media that has now zeroed in on the octagon, as everyone from Rolling Stone to Forbes and even Time Magazine have taken time to talk to Rousey and give the UFC some serious attention and credit.
"I didn't think it would be this big," Rousey said. "It's a little bit surprising."
UFC president Dana White says that UFC 157 is almost sold out and is expected to bring in more box-office revenue this Saturday at the Honda Center in Anaheim than when the UFC visited the same venue back in 2011 when a heavyweight title was on the line.
"No fighter has ever fought in the UFC that has had more attention than she has," White said. "It's a fact. Honestly, going into it, I didn't know that would happen. I didn't know HBO and Time magazine and all these other outlets that never cover us would."
But while White is fully behind his newest cash-cow, every interview Rousey sits down for is prefaced with the infamous clip of White saying he'd never ever have a female fighter in his promotion. In true Rousey fashion, she follows up every viewing of that clip by saying she doesn't care and it only makes her even more proud of how far she's gotten in her career.
"Every interview that I have done leading up to this fight this week, they've played that clip," White told USA TODAY Sports on Thursday. "After I did my homework and I saw some of these fights and I got into it and I met the girls, it is the right thing to do, and I'm proud to be standing here today announcing that this fight is happening."

Basin & Range Watch
Defending the Desert
Hiking......BLOG......Solar Energy Issues.....Wind.....Alerts......Flora......Birding.......Wildlife......Cartoons.......Links......About Us
Basin and Range Watch is a group of volunteers who live in the deserts of Nevada and California, working to stop the destruction of our desert homeland. Federal and many state agencies and some local governments are seeking to open up millions of acres of unspoiled habitat in our region to industrial renewable energy development. Our goal is to identify the problems of energy sprawl and find solutions that will preserve our natural ecosystems and open spaces. We support renewable energy but advocate for better national and state planning.
Come visit and experience the great beauty of spring wildflowers, vast open vistas, bird watching trails, and wildlife viewing.

Palen Solar Power Towers: Energy Commission Recommends License for First Tower
September 12. 2014 - Riverside County CA - The two commissioners of the California Energy Commission (CEC) presiding over the hearing and review of the Palen Solar Electric Generating System (PSEGS) have written their Revised Presiding Member's Proposed Decision which recommends phase 1 be licensed, one solar power tower. Then a second power tower with thermal energy storage may be built in the future if the petitioner BrightSource Energy seeks to amend yet again. The decision will be passed on to a vote of the whole five commsiioners for final approval. More >>here.

Silver State South Solar Project Breaks Ground
September 5, 2014 - Yesterday Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze participated in the ground breaking of the Silver State South solar project in Ivanpah Valley, Nevada. This is a 250 MW solar energy project on Mojave Desert creosote, yucca, and catclaw acacia habitat. First Solar Senior Vice President Brian Stanley and CEO of NextEra Energy Resources also joined in.
First Solar will soon be bulldozing 2,500 acres of good quality desert tortoise habitat on these public lands across from the Ivanpah solar power towers. They have already pulled 38 tortoises out of the habitat on 1,000 acres. These solar panels should go on rooftops. We will have photos.
Blythe Mesa Solar Power Project
August 31, 2014 - Blythe CA -This is yet another large-scale solar project next to the Colorado River in California, in addition to two others that have been approved and adding to the cumulative impacts to local communities and birdlife in the area.
Renewable Resources Group is propsoing to build a 485 megawatt photovoltaic power plant along Interstate-10 three miles west of the city of Blythe CA, on private old agircutlural land on 3,587 acres. Public comment ended on August 4, 2014.
Even though this project is not sited on an intact desert ecosystem, Basin & Range Watch does not support it because it impacts the local residents in a negative way. We value the concerns of desert communities, and some of this project would surround private residences and destroy rural quality of life, according to locals we have spoken to. We support rooftop and urban structure solar installations as the first choice to meet the need for renewable energy.
See the Bureau of Land Management page on this project here:
Environmental Group Sues to Protect Endangered Yuma Clapper Rail
August 27, 2014 - The Center for Biological Diversity announced it will be suing the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for failing to protect the Yuma clapper rain, two of which have been found dead at large-scale solar power plants in the desert.

Desert Sunlight Solar Farm Project Requesting MORE Groundwater Pumped During Record Drought in California
August 26, 2014 - Riverside County, CA - During California's worst drought in recorded history, First Solar's Desert Sunlight Solar Farm Project is requesting a 50 acre-feet increase in the amount of groundwater the project is allowed to pump from the desert aquifer. The Bureau of Land Management is preparing an Environmental Assessment to evaluate the effects of this action. Remediation efforts from recent heavy summer rains are part of the need. More >>here.
Spring Valley Wind Project with More Bat Deaths than Predicted
August 18, 2014 - The eastern Nevada wind project that was built too close to a major roosting colony of Mexican free-tailed bats has been forced to change operations after its turbines killed triple the number of bats allowed under an agreement with federal regulators.

California Energy Commission Evidentiary Hearing on the Palen Solar Electric Generating System
August 10, 2014 - Blythe CA - Basin & Range Watch intervened in the California Energy Commission (CEC) proceeding of this petition to amend the original Palen solar project application after BrightSource Energy bought the application from now bankrupt Solar Millennium. The current project would involve two solar power towers that would superheat water into steam to turn steam turbines in power blocks. Hundreds of thousands of mirrors (heliostats) in circles around the towers would aim sunlight onto the receiver of the tower to heat the water into steam.
The California Energy Commission held an evidentiary hearing in Blythe over two long days, July 29 and 30, 2014, where all intervenors, the petitioner BrightSource Energy, staff of the Energy Commission, and the public gathered. Intervenors include Basin & Range Watch, Center for Biological Diversity (CBD), Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT), and Californians for Renewable Energy (CARE) - La Cuna de Aztlan. More >>here.
Coolwater-Lugo Transmission Project Meetings
August 10, 2014 - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has scheduled four public scoping meetings for the proposed Coolwater-Lugo Transmission Project. These meeting are supposed to be set up to allow the public to provide input over the pending impacts a large project like this project will have. Please remember to submit a WRITTEN comment because the BLM's California Desert District will not record spoken comments at public meetings. The transmission line will open up energy sprawl to the Mojave Desert and rural communities in Lucerne, Johnson and Apple Valleys, San Bernardino County, California.
US Fish & Wildlife Service Says Yuma Clapper Rail Kill Likely for Solar Project
August 1, 2014 - Amargosa Valley NV - The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) sent a letter dated July 11, 2014 to the Nevada Public Utilities Commission concerning the likely killing of a rare Yuma clapper rail which is federally endangered, at the 110 MW Sunshine Valley Solar Project on private land in Amargosa Valley. The proposed project would be 8 miles northwest of Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge where occupied marsh habitat exists. FWS said it beleives an incidental take of Yuma clapper rail is likely. At least one Yuma clapper rail has been found killed at the Desert Sunlight Solar Farm in Riverside County. FWS recommended that the parent company First Solar develop a Habitat Conservation Plan to support an application for an incidental take permit for Yuma clapper rail. Additionally the Service wants the developer to have a Bird and Bat Conservation Strategy to avoid, minimize, and mitigate deaths of birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Large Numbers of Tortoise Moved at Silver State South Solar Project
July 23, 2014 - The Bureau of Land Management informed us in a personal communication today that biologists have found and removed a total of 38 desert tortoises from First Solar's Silver State South Solar Farm in eastern Ivanpah Valley, Clark County NV, within view of the three solar power towers of the first Ivanpah solar power plant in adjacent California. Small tortoises accounted for 21 of the total (under 160 millimeters), and 17 were large (over 160 mm). Tortoises were moved to recipient sites (where 15 large tortoises were found to be resident)
The numbers for Silver State South Phase 1 translocation: 13 transmittered/retransmittered tortoises from Phase I this spring, on approximately 700 acres cleared of tortoises for fence installation. Fifteen Phase II tortoises have already been transmittered (mainly retransmittered) this spring.
There are about 1,700 acres remaining to be cleared in Phase II.

Let me start by saying that I love England. Any country that successfully combines tea and men wearing tights while quoting Shakespeare and calls it culture is alright by me.
So when I go on to say that I traded my remaining time in England to go adventuring in Greece, know that it wasn't because I couldn't stand the place any more. True, it could've had a bit more sun, but even so, I was devastated to leave England behind.
There are so many things to experience in England, and I returned over the summer because, frankly, I wasn't done with it yet. I'm still not, and I don't know if I ever will be.
One thing that I understood only superficially before I left for Reading was that I would be studying at a completely different University for a year. There were many differences between Reading University in England and my little college on the hill in Virginia, but one of the things the two had in common was the availability of study abroad programs.
I ended up taking an archaeology class with a fellow student from the College, Sam Henderson, and our professor mentioned that she would be taking several students to Crete in the spring to help her with her dig there. Our ears perked up at the mention of it, and then the question came to us: can one study abroad, while studying abroad? We were full Reading University students during our year abroad, and so when we asked the question to those who would know, the answer was a resounding "Yes, you can!"
I gave up my hopes to study in a more exotic country to participate in the Reading program, and here I was facing the possibility of having my cake and eating it too. So when we got our acceptance emails in March, neither of us could really believe it. We were going to Greece!
It was strange to go from adjusting to life in one foreign country to adjusting to another completely different place. Neither of us spoke Greek, but after a few days there we learned 'good morning', 'please', and 'thank you', which seemed to be the vital things to know in the small town on the coast of Crete where we spent the next three weeks.
We were travelling with two other Reading University students, and the four of us became a close group. I'll never forget spending the days on a hill overlooking the coast while washing bits of ancient pottery and spending my nights huddled around a table in a family-run taverna, eating home-cooked Greek food and being fed free raki—the local liquor of Crete.
It was simply beautiful, in many senses of the term, and the whole village seemed to know about the four young archaeology women in their midst. As if that wasn't enough, we got to explore much of the rest of the island on our days off.
At the same time that Sam and I were in Crete, another group from Reading University was doing a dig in Jordan, and I'm pretty sure that's an opportunity that's usually available. The University is great all around, but especially has some amazing opportunities for the budding archaeologist, not only in Silchester, England and not only in Crete, but so many more; all one has to do is ask and look into it.
I honestly believe that going to Reading is probably the best thing an archaeology student at the home campus can do for her or his future career. I cannot believe the amount of opportunities I've had in the past year, and I feel so grateful that I took the leap, both in going in Reading and in taking all the chances I was offered there. Why stop when you get to Reading?
Sure, just going to Reading is great; but it's a lot more fun to thrive there! As Miss Frizzle of the Magic School Bus used to say, "Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!"
Who knows? Maybe you'll get as far as Greece.

The Effect of Symmetrical versus Asymmetrical Scaffolding on English Reading Comprehension of EFL Learners
The present study was aimed at clarifying the effect, if any, of symmetrical scaffolding versus asymmetrical scaffolding on English reading comprehension of Iranian students. The research was carried out on 80 elementary male students in six classes. The six classes were randomly assigned to two inter-class groups, i.e. symmetrical group (SG) and asymmetrical group (AG). Then two parallel tests in the form of a cloze test served as the pre- and post-tests. Since the students accomplished answering the cloze tests with recourse to their similar dictionaries, the results were regarded as the potential knowledge, i.e. zone of proximal development (ZPD), of the students in reading comprehension. In each of the intra-groups of the SG, consisting of four (at times three) students, the students with similar ZPDs in reading comprehension were asked to work together. While in each of the three classes of the AG, the students with different ZPDs in reading comprehension were grouped together. After the intra-class group assignment, the students worked on ten reading comprehension texts in their groups. At the end of the study two independent and two dependent t-tests were run, which indicated that the SG outperformed the AG. Key words: scaffolding; zone of proximal development (ZPD); more knowledgeable other (MKO)

A local hero is set to receive one of the government's highest honors. Tray Ross will be the recipient of the Carnegie Medal for pulling a blind elderly man from a burning home.Ross was working at a poultry plant on Nov. 21, 2011 when he saw a fire at a home across the street. He pulled 76-year-old Harold Johnson out of the house."The smoke was eventually going to get me, so if it wasn't for him and God, I wouldn't be here today," said Johnson, who now lives in a nursing home in Gainesville.Ross says the incident here has changed his life and not just because he's been recognized as a hero nationally. He said that the episode steered him in the right direction.Ross, a high school dropout, completed his GED and is now training to become a Hall County firefighter."If that wouldn't have happened, it would probably still be a wish," Ross said.The budding firefighter sees it as a life lesson to pass on to his 2-year-old son."I believe this milestone in my life will help me teach him to make milestones in his life," Ross said. "Make the right decisions, get on the right road, stay on the right road."The Carnegie Medal is a national award given to about two dozen Americans who risk their lives to save others.Ross should receive the medal – and a $5,000 award – in about two months.

The joy of (repairing) older cars
Maintenance on our two vehicles set me back nearly $3,000 on a recent visit to the mechanic, and it was money well spent.
This post comes from Len Penzo at partner blog Len Penzo dot Com.
Parents, if you want your kids to become independently wealthy, don't encourage them to go to college. Tell them to open up a car repair shop instead.
I say that because I just paid my mechanic almost 3,000 bucks for services rendered. I know.
Of course, that's what happens when you own a couple of cars that are meticulously maintained but getting a bit long in the tooth.
This week, along with the typical "full-service" oil change, our 2001 Honda Odyssey had its brakes and transmission serviced. The old girl also had her valves adjusted, and received a brand-new set of spark plugs. The makeover was made complete with a new timing belt, water pump, and a fresh set of outer drive belts.
A day later, it was my 1997 Honda Civic's turn: an oil change, transmission service, the valves adjusted, new spark plugs, and the rear brake shoes replaced.
After the Honeybee tacked on the obligatory vanilla air freshener for her Odyssey -- the automotive analog of a kid getting a lollipop after a visit to the doctor -- the entire bill came to $2,867.73. (Post continues below.)
Quite frankly, after all the money we spent, I was a bit surprised my mechanic didn't just throw the freshener in as a freebie. "They're on the house, Len -- and take one of those cucumber-melon fresheners for the Civic too! It'll make you wish your commute was 400 miles instead of 40!" Heh.
Unfortunately, no such luck.
Anyway, despite the hefty maintenance bill, I have no intention of selling either of our old cars.
Why should I? As I detailed in an article on the financial virtues of old cars last summer, the annual maintenance costs for the Civic and Odyssey averaged just $400 and $600, respectively, through 2010, although those numbers are trending upward.
Spread those costs over an entire year and it becomes obvious why so many people are willing to accept the added responsibility that comes with properly maintaining an older car in exchange for avoiding a monthly car payment.
Even so, I can hear a lot of you out there saying "Thanks, but no thanks," that the possibility of large and/or unexpected auto maintenance bills is just too much to bear.
It's really no big deal, though, for those who establish a rainy day fund, which is meant to help you weather short-term, relatively low-impact financial storms of less than $2,000.
Another alternative is to set aside a fixed amount of money each month into a separate vehicle maintenance fund.
For example, if you average $600 per year to keep your car in good running order, that's equivalent to $50 per month. You can then set up an automatic deposit into a special car maintenance savings subaccount with a bank like ING Direct.
What's particularly nice with this method is that, over time, you can gradually increase your contributions to your maintenance fund subaccount, so you'll hardly notice the difference. And if you do happen to encounter higher-than-average or unexpected maintenance expenses -- or even get hit with a double-whammy like we did this week -- you can make up the difference by tapping into your emergency or rainy day funds.
Best of all, you won't have to worry about leaving the repair shop without one of those cucumber-melon air fresheners.
More on Len Penzo dot Com and MSN Money:
- Calculator: How much vehicle can you afford?
Pay your car off and continue putting that payment amount in savings. You will almost always have enough set aside for major repairs that way. Eventually, you will have enough put aside for a good used replacement vehicle.
Funny - once I started taking cash money out of savings to pay for a vehicle, I lost the appetite to spend a lot of money on new cars.
You have to be prudent when spending significant amounts into older vehicles. I know someone that spent 7K in 1 yr. on an expensive foreign make and at least 3-4 more previously and had a collision. ACV was less than repair cost so they totaled it out. No car, no money, still a few payments left. For best results with older vehicles, Another scenario you get a bunch of work done only to have something major like the engine or transmission fail and you realized it is not worth the cost. I find it is a good idea to have a spare so if one is down you can work on it, find used parts, service etc. for less money that if you have to get it fixed right away. Also having at least one newer vehicle gives you piece of mind especially with loved ones. Night driving, long trips, commutes that go through sketchy or rural areas are not a good place to get stranded especially for those that may not be in a position to get themselves back no the road or defend themselves. Older vehicles typically don't have the latest safety equipment depending on who is driving and where/when you drive you may want to have them.

Dir / Scr: Derek Yee
Prod Co: Film Unlimited
Cast: Anita Yuen, Lau Ching-wan, Carina Lau Kar-ling, Fung Bo-bo
1993 / Colour / 35mm / Cantonese / Chi & Eng Subtitle / 99min
Director Derek Yee breathed new life into the melodrama genre with this 1993 surprise box office hit, also the winner of six Hong Kong Film Awards. Lau Ching-wan earned his first Best Actor nomination as Kit, a jazz musician down on his luck living in a rundown flat. His life is changed for the better when he meets Min (Anita Yuen), an eternal optimist who can see the best in every situation – even when she's facing certain death. Loosely based on the Shaw Brothers Studios classic Love without End (1961), Yee' s film also has musical elements and a star-crossed romance at its core. However, it also stands apart from its genre counterparts by ending with a surprisingly life-affirming message: If death is the worst thing to happen in life, then how difficult can life be?

Description of Dramatic Clouds Skyrim Mod
This is small, simple and subtle mod that enhances Skryim's skies.
Improves the clouds for rain, snow, overcast, cloudy weather, horizon, mountains and distant clouds. In the ultra and high versions the resolution is double the vanilla resolution. This mostly translates to a jump from 512^2 to 1024^2. The exceptions are the distant clouds (from 1024x256 to 2048x512) and the mountain mists (from 256x2048 to 512x4096).
The clouds are also smoother than the vanilla version. This reduces the pixelation that's pretty visible when looking straight up.
As any texture file, simply unpack the .rar file and merge the data folder with the one in your Skyrim directory.
To uninstall, remove these files from the sky folder in Data/textures/sky:

What are "normal" blood creatinine levels?
Comment on this Read 54 Comments
Normal levels of creatinine in the blood are approximately 0.6 to 1.2 milligrams (mg) per deciliter (dL) in adult males and 0.5 to 1.1 milligrams per deciliter in adult females. (In the metric system, a milligram is a unit of weight equal to one-thousandth of a gram, and a deciliter is a unit of volume equal to one-tenth of a liter.)
Muscular young or middle-aged adults may have more creatinine in their blood than the norm for the general population. Elderly persons, on the other hand, may have less creatinine in their blood than the norm. Infants have normal levels of about 0.2 or more, depending on their muscle development. In people with malnutrition, severe weight loss, and long standing illnesses, the muscle mass tends to diminish over time and, therefore, their creatinine level may be lower than expected for their age.
A person with only one kidney may have a normal level of about 1.8 or 1.9. Creatinine levels that reach 2.0 or more in babies and 10.0 or more in adults may indicate severe kidney impairment and the need for a dialysis machine to remove wastes from the blood.
What are the reasons for elevated blood creatinine?
Any condition that impairs the function of the kidneys is likely to raise the creatinine level in the blood. It is important to recognize whether the process leading to kidney dysfunction (kidney failure, azotemia) is longstanding or recent. Recent elevations may be more easily treated and reversed.
The most common causes of longstanding (chronic) kidney disease in adults are high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus. Certain drugs can sometimes cause abnormally elevated creatinine levels. Serum creatinine can also transiently increase after ingestion of a large amount of dietary meat; thus, nutrition can sometimes play a role in creatinine measurement.

South Florida communities can no longer afford — and soon won't be permitted — to waste their wastewater.
But their solutions have to contend with the "ick" factor.
The idea that water flushed down the toilet will end up on their lawns or be injected underground to find its way back into their drinking water still leaves many people uneasy.
Paul Webb, whose Harbor Village neighborhood was the first to be connected to Pompano Beach's reuse water lines, has heard comments from people who think the reuse water stinks, or they're worried about getting it on their clothes or car, or are concerned about how it might affect their children or pets.

Coccidioidomycosis - acute pulmonary
Acute pulmonary coccidioidomycosis is a lung infection caused by breathing in spores of Coccidioides immitis or Coccidioides posadasii, fungi found in the soil in certain parts of the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Central and South America.
See also:
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Coccidioides infection begins in the lungs after a person breathes in the spores.
Those who are at higher risk of developing more serious Coccidioides infection include:
- People of Native American, African, or Philippine descent
- Those with weakened immune systems due to AIDS, diabetes, or medications that suppress the immune system
Occasionally the infection may develop into a long-term (chronic) lung disease or can reactivate after a long latent period.
Traveling to an area where these fungi are found is a risk for coccidioidal infection. Areas in the U.S. include southwestern New Mexico, Arizona, California (especially the San Joaquin Valley), and western Texas.
Most of the time, people with this time of infection never have symptoms. In other people, the symptoms range from mild, cold- or flu-like symptoms to severe pneumonia.
If they occur, symptoms start about 5 to 21 days after you come into contact with the fungus. They may include:
- Chest pain (varies from mild to severe)
- Cough, possibly bloody
- Fever
- Headache
- Joint pain
- Rash, may be painful, red lumps, on lower legs (erythema nodosum)
Rarely, the infection spreads from the lungs through the bloodstream to involve the skin, bones, joints, lymph nodes, and central nervous system or other organs. See: Disseminated coccidioidomycosis
Signs and tests
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and listen to your lungs with a stethoscope. The following tests may be done:
- Biopsy of lymph node or lung
- Bronchoscopy
- Blood test for antibodies to the fungus
- Chest x-ray
- Chest CT scan
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Sputum smear (KOH test or Papanicolaou stain)
The acute form of coccidiodomycosis usually goes away without treatment. Your health care provider may recommend bedrest and treatment of flu-like symptoms until your fever disappears.
If you have a weakened immune system, you may need antifungal treatment with amphotericin B, fluconazole, or itraconazole. The best length of treatment with these medications has not been determined.
Expectations (prognosis)
In most cases, the outlook is good.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if:
- You have symptoms of coccidioidomycosis
- Your symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment
- You develop new symptoms
Avoiding travel to regions where this fungus is found will prevent this disorder. However, this is not practical or possible for many people. You should avoid contact with soil in these regions if you have a weakened immune system due to HIV or other conditions.

A technical snow pant for jeans-only kind of guys.
If you're a jeans-only kind of guy, the Analog Men's Remer Slim Pant was made for you. Your mother might not have liked when you refused to wear dress slacks at your sister's wedding, but she'll be OK with this snow pant that features five-pocket jeans style and enough technical features to make sure you stay comfortable when you're shredding snow or practicing tricks. The pant's fabric provides breathable, waterproof protection, while a large, mesh-lined vent that runs continuously between your thighs offers ample ventilation when things heat up on steep hikes or challenging trick sequences. The stretch boot gaiters with boot lace hooks keep snow from getting in your cuffs, and the back leg cinch system protects your cuffs from damage in the parking lot by keeping them from dragging. The drawcord-adjustable waist allows you to customize a comfortable and secure fit, and the pant's slim fit allows you to move freely without excess fabric getting in your way. If necessary, you can pretend you're wearing your favorite pair of street jeans on the hill, but however you think about it, you'll be grateful for the comfort this technical pant provides while you're out making snow mischief.
- Waterproof polyester or nylon twill with hydro coating
- Slim fit
- Drawcord-adjustable waist with belt loops and metal shank closure
- Mesh-lined zippered continuous crotch vent
- Stretch boot gaiter with lace hook
- Back leg no-drag cinch system
- Five-pocket-jeans-style pockets

I chose to go with these pants, because they look great. I don't like wearing super baggy pants that are wide, and prefer the slim yet slightly baggy look. These are the perfect choice and the in-betweener for my personal taste.
An added perk to this piece is the drawcord around the waist. In case you forgot to strap your belt to the pant or not a fan of the added bulk around the hip bones, these are ninja as hell and will keep you super light so you can get that added pop when you need it most.
They aren't the most waterproof, but they hold up perfectly fine when I'm riding powder, probably wouldn't be the best rain pants btw. These are made of great quality polyester twill so they are very bombproof if you're in the streets, stack'n footy and takin slams like Jenna J.
I've actually got my car broken into late last year, and the "not so nice word" person stole these along with my other belongings, but I loved the pants so much I had to get another pair. They have the lace and hook like the lined zip crotch vent like most snow pants aren't too slim where it'll constrict you're movement.

Linoleum fitting is like going to the beach....
Only I have glue in random, unexpected places…much like the endless sand you find in your crack when you take a shower after Santa Cruz! Minus the rub rash, I think I prefer the sand because it is freakishly difficult to get rid of all this adhesive!
On the bright side, my bathroom floor is complete! Thank you to Nick for the linoleum - now we have matching floors hehe. Next up, Saturday, toilet install, sink/vanity install, and if I feel proactive, maybe I'll finish up with the mirror and lights. And someday I will get around to the baseboard for the wall…..
Have a nice weekend!

2014 HYUNDAI ACCENT: Hyundai's 2014 model-year Accent sedan and hatchback models come equipped with standard sliding sun visors, one-touch triple turn signal and a driver's blind spot mirror. Statistically, Accent's "Fluidic Sculpture" exterior dimensions are consistent with those of traditional subcompacts, yet is classified by the EPA as a compact sedan, thanks to its interior volume. The cabin provides five-passenger occupancy, plus a total of 13.7 cu. ft of cargo room in the sedan's trunk, and 47.5 cu. ft. of payload space in the five-door hatchback. Now in its fourth generation, the front-wheel drive Accent comes outfitted with Hyundai's 1.6-liter "Gamma" four-cylinder engine, paired with six-speed automatic or manual transmissions. Accent uses Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI), which helps the engine to delivers 138 horsepower, as well best-in-class fuel economy of 30 mpg city/40 mpg highway. Compared to competing models, the Accent has unsurpassed horsepower and specific output at 86 hp per liter. Stylish projector headlights with LED accents join a driver's auto-up power window and tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel on five-door SE and four-door Premium Package models. The sporty five-door SE adds an available B&M Racing Sport Shifter for quicker performance. The Accent features a bold exterior color palette with both light and dark colors including Century White, Ironman Silver, Triathlon Gray, Boston Red, Marathon Blue, Clearwater Blue, Electrolyte Green, Mocha Bronze and Ultra Black.
