Mount Shasta, a 14,179-foot (4,322 m) stratovolcano, is the second-highest peak in the Cascade Range and the fifth highest peak in California. It is a member in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and is located in Siskiyou County, and has an estimated volume of 108 cubic miles (450 km), making it the most voluminous stratovolcano of the Cascades. Physically unconnected to any nearby mountain, and rising abruptly from miles of level ground which encircle it, Mount Shasta stands some 10,000 feet (3,000 m) above the surrounding area.
Shasta was memorably described by the poet Joaquin Miller: "Lonely as God, and white as a winter moon, Mount Shasta starts up sudden and solitary from the heart of the great black forests of Northern California."
The mountain consists of four overlapping volcanic cones which have built a complex shape, including the main summit and the prominent satellite cone of 12,330 feet (3,758 m) Shastina which has a visibly conical form (see image at left). Mount Shasta's surface is relatively free of deep glacial erosion except, paradoxically, for its south side where Sergeants Ridge runs parallel to the U-shaped Avalanche Gulch. This is the largest glacial valley on the volcano, although it does not presently have a glacier in it.
There are seven named glaciers on Shasta, with the four largest (Whitney, Bolam, Hotlum, and Wintun) radiating down the from high on the main summit cone to below 10,000 ft (3,000 m) primarily on the north and east sides.
The Whitney Glacier is the longest and the Hotlum is the most voluminous glacier in the state of California. Three of the smaller named glaciers occupy cirques near and above 11,000 ft (3,300 m) on the south and southeast sides, including the Watkins, Konwakiton, and Mud Creek Glaciers.
There are many buried glacial scars on the mountain which were originally created in recent glacial periods ("ice ages") of the present Wisconsinian glaciation. Most have since been filled-in with andesite lava, pyroclastic flows, and talus from lava domes. Shastina, by comparison, has a fully intact summit crater indicating that Shastina developed after the last ice age.
About 593,000 years ago andesitic lavas erupted in what is now Mount Shasta's western flank near McBride Spring. Over time an ancestral Shasta stratovolcano was built to large but unknown height; sometime between 300,000 to 360,000 years ago the entire north side of the volcano collapsed, creating an enormous landslide or debris avalanche, 6.5 mile (27 km) in volume. The slide flowed northwestward into Shasta Valley where the Shasta River now cuts through the 28 mile (45 km) long flow.
What remains of the oldest of Shasta's four cones is exposed at Sergeants Ridge on the south side of the mountain. Lavas from the Sergeants Ridge vent cover the Everitt Hill shield at Shasta's southern foot. The last lavas to erupt from the vent were hornblende-pyroxene andesites with a hornblende dacite dome at its summit. Glacial erosion has since modified its shape.
The next cone to form is exposed south of Shasta's current summit and is called Misery Hill. It was formed 15,000 to 20,000 years ago from pyroxene andesite flows and has since been intruded by a hornblende dacite dome.
Since then the Shastina cone has been built by mostly pyroxene andesite lava flows. Some 9,500 years ago, these flows reached about 6.8 miles (11 km) south and three miles north of the area now occupied by nearby Black Butte. The last eruptions formed Shastina's present summit about a hundred years later. But before that, Shastina, along with the then forming Black Butte dacite plug dome complex to the west, created numerous pyroclastic flows that covered 43 mile (110 km), including large parts of what is now Mt. Shasta, California and Weed, California. Diller Canyon (400 ft (120 m) deep and quarter-mile (400 m) wide) is an avalanche chute that was probably carved into Shastina's western face by these flows.
The last to form, and the highest cone, the Hotlum Cone, formed about 8,000 years ago. It is named after the Hotlum glacier on its northern face; its longest lava flow, the 500 ft (150 m) thick Military Pass flow, extends 5.5 miles (9 km) down its northwest face. Since the creation of the Hotlum Cone, a dacite dome intruded the cone and now forms the summit. The rock at the 600 ft (180 m) wide summit crater has been extensively hydrothermally altered by sulfurous hot springs and fumaroles there (only a few examples still remain).
In the last 8,000 years, the Hotlum Cone has erupted at least eight or nine times. About 200 years ago the last significant Shasta eruption came from this cone and created a pyroclastic flow, a hot lahar (mudflow), and three cold lahars, which streamed 7.5 miles (12 km) down Shasta's east flank via Ash Creek. A separate hot lahar went 12 miles (19 km) down Mud Creek. This eruption was observed by the explorer La Perouse, from his ship off the California coast, in 1786.
Mount Shasta sees many climbers annually attempt to make it to the summit. The summer climbing season runs from late April until October, although many attempts are made in the winter. The most popular route is Avalanche Gulch, also known as the John Muir Route. It begins at a Sierra Club cabin known as Horse Camp, at elevation 7,900 ft (2,400 m) on the southwest side of the mountain, near tree line. It involves 6,300 ft (1,900 m) of vertical gain over moraines and snowfields, with some danger from rockfall and a bergschrund.
Because Mount Shasta is a very popular mountain for climbers in the summertime, it sees many inexperienced climbers who become in need of rescue. Hiking trails also exist in areas around the base of the mountain.
In winter, Sargent's Ridge and Casaval Ridge, to the east and west of Avalanche Gulch respectively, become the most traveled routes, to avoid avalanche danger. Mount Shasta is also a popular destination for backcountry skiing. Many of the climbing routes can be descended by experienced skiers, and there are numerous lower-angled areas around the base of the mountain.
Diller Canyon on Mt Shastina from Weed, CaliforniaDuring the last 10,000 years Shasta has erupted an average of every 800 years but in the past 4500 years the volcano has erupted an average of every 600 years. The last significant eruption on Shasta may have occurred 200 years ago.Mount Shasta can release volcanic ash, pyroclastic flows or dacite and andesite lava. Its deposits can be detected under two nearby small towns totaling 20,000 in population. Shasta has an explosive, eruptive history. There are fumaroles on the mountain, which show that Shasta is still alive.
The worst case scenario for an eruption is a large pyroclastic flow, such as what occurred in the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Since there is ice, lahars would also result. Ash would probably blow inland, perhaps as far as eastern Nevada. There is a small chance that an eruption could also be bigger resulting in a collapse of the mountain, as happened at Mount Mazama in Oregon, but this is of much lower probability. The US Geologic Survey considers Shasta a volcano with a high probability of erupting again.
The oldest human habitation in the area dates to about 7000 years ago, and by about 5000 years ago, there was substantial human habitation in the surrounding area.At the time of Euro-American contact in the 1820s, the Native American tribes who lived within view of Mount Shasta included the Shasta, Okwanuchu, Modoc, Achomawi, Atsugewi, Karuk, Klamath, Wintu, and Yana tribes.
Although perhaps first seen by Spanish explorers, the first reliably-reported sighting of Mount Shasta by a Euro-American was by Peter Skene Ogden (a leader of a Hudson's Bay Company trapping brigade) in 1826. In 1827, the name "Sasty" or "Sastise" was given to nearby Mount McLoughlin by Ogden. (The name was transferred to present-day Mount Shasta in 1841, as a result of work by the United States Exploring Expedition).
Beginning in 1829, Mount Shasta was a prominent landmark along what became known as the Siskiyou Trail, which runs at Mount Shasta's base. The Siskiyou Trail located on the track of an ancient trade and travel route of Native American footpaths between California's Central Valley and the Pacific Northwest. The Siskiyou Trail was widened by later Euro-American use, and was used as the route of today's Interstate 5 and Union Pacific Railroad which run at Mount Shasta's base.
The California Gold Rush brought the first Euro-American settlements into the area in the early 1850s, including at Yreka, California and Upper Soda Springs. The first recorded ascent of Mount Shasta occurred in 1854, after several earlier failed attempts. The completion of the Central Pacific Railroad line between California and Oregon in 1887 brought an increase in population, tourism and lumbering into the area.Today, the area remains one of California's premiere tourist destinations, attracting travelers from around the world.
Native American lore of the area held that Shasta is inhabited by the spirit chief Skell who descended from heaven to the mountain's summit. Since then, many other faiths, particularly New Age groups, have been attracted to Shasta -- more than any other Cascade volcano. Mt. Shasta, California, a small town near Shasta's western base, is a focal point for many of these religions.
According to the Forest Service as reported in documentaries such as In The Light of Reverence, local Indian tribes, particularly but not limited to the Wintu, still practice healing rituals at the springs that flow from the mountain, and there is constant low-level conflict between the Indians and the New Age groups which have laid claim to the area as their personal sacred site.
The history of New Age fascination with Mount Shasta can be traced to the publication of Frederick Spencer Oliver's fantasy novel A Dweller On Two Planets. An indifferent, unmotivated student who was often ill, Oliver composed the novel at the age of seventeen. According to the foreword, his parents were awestruck that he could have engaged in such a sustained endeavor, and believed the novel to have been divinely inspired. They promoted it as a work of channeled wisdom, and it is still in print today. The novel is about the Lemurian race who traveled to Mount Shasta when their continent sank beneath the ocean and are now said to live inside the mountain in a series of tunnels. In the years subsequent to the publication of Oliver's book, many seeking people claimed to have encountered Lemurians at Shasta.
Guy Ballard's I Am Activity and Elizabeth Clare Prophet's Church Universal and Triumphant are probably the best-known among numerous groups to attempt to participate in, or redefine, Shasta's spiritual heritage.
Many of these cults hold that races of sentient beings, ostensibly superior to humans, live in or on Shasta, or visit the mountain in UFOs.
Lenticular clouds sometimes form over the mountain. This is a fairly typical meteorological phenomenon over high places on the earth, which is often seen and mistaken for unidentified flying objects.
Mt. Shasta is also the site of a Buddhist monastery, Shasta Abbey, founded by Houn Jiyu-Kennett in 1971.
Mount Shasta City hosts 16 Christian churches. If the membership roles are combined, they would account for approximately 25 percent of the population.
Mount Shasta has long been sacred to the Native North American Indians of Northern California.ĘFor the Shasta the mountain was at the center of creation. Their creation myth, shared by the Modoc people, goes like this:
The Shasta and the Modoc believed that the Great Spirit took up his abode on the mountain. His daughter, who fell from the mountain, was raised by grizzly bears and married one of their clan. Their children were the first humans. In punishment for violating his authority, the Great Spirit condemned the bear to walk on four legs and scattered their progeny all over the world. The Shasta have mostly disappeared. Chief White Eagle, whose tribal affiliation is unknown to me,holds a weekly sweat lodge ritual at Stewart Mineral Springs. The ceremony is popular with the locals and the guests of Stewart Mineral Springs.
Revived Native American culture has recently begun to celebrate on Mount Shasta - including the Sun Dances.
Just words: Shasta -- Seshat, Seshata -- 'She' is Thoth's feminine expression.
The town of Mount Shasta, at the foot of the mountain, is headquarters for several New Age and other spiritual groups, some of whom regard it as a source of cosmic energy. Mount Shasta allegedly is a major energy grid point. For those who believe, it is therefore an initiation point whose energies awaken those who come to meditate, have sweat lodges and other rituals, or just to experience the energies.
Its energy is reputed to be magnetic. Over a hundred sects and groups regard Shasta as a sacred place, one of the nine sacred mountains of the world. It is considered by some an entry point to the fifth dimension. New Age groups revere Shasta as a great mother, a source of spiritual nurturance.
Every spring at the time of the full moon of Taurus, the Mount Shasta Wesak Festival, in honor of the Buddha is held for 3 days. This corresponds to a festival held in the Himalayas at the same time.
Mount Shasta is allegedly the home of the mythological underground city, Telos.
Guy Ballard claims to have met the ascended master St. Germain on the slopes of Mount Shasta in 1930.

URL regular expression for links with or without the protocol
I've just come across a pretty common requirement to convert any text that looks like a link into a link within some HTML text. Strangely, after searching for a good 15 minutes for a regular expression, all I could find was either a regular expressions which detects URLs with a protocol such as http://mattheworiordan.com/, or a regular expression which detects URLs without such as www.mattheworiordan.com. Why the hell I could not find one which does both is beyond me, so here I go at posting a solution for anyone else to use.
Here is the holy grail:
Here is a nice example of this regular expression in action http://jsbin.com/eqocuh/5/edit#source
Please feel free to modify this JSBin, add examples, and update this regular expression, and I will update within this blog post.
Here is an explanation of the regular expression for those who care

Words of the Week
Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a tireless crusader for human rights, said: "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?" Do not say you will do it "someday"; now is the time. Do not say "someone" will do it; you are the one. Now is the time for youth to take full responsibility and courageously pave the way for the people's triumph.<< Yesterday Today Tomorrow >>
These excerpts are from "Buddhism Day by Day: Wisdom for Modern Life " by Daisaku Ikeda. This book is available for purchase at the online store Online Bookstore or your local SGI-USA Community Center bookstore.

From Spiritual Life
Every year as I begin to write the update for the coming May Serve trip, I always take a few minutes to reflect on the previous year. Most of the students have no idea how the trip will impact them. Time and time again, we are blown away by how the Lord moves and works among and through our students. We have them fill out a pre-trip evaluation and a post-trip evaluation. Here are some of the comments that the students from last year's Swaziland trip had to say.
"May Serve really changed my perspective on a lot of things in my life. I feel like I am more mature and that the lessons I have learned both during training and during our time in Swaziland have better prepared me to deal with the curve balls that life throws at me. I loved the experience and wouldn't have passed it up for all the world."
"It's something that I have been incredibly blessed by and I can't believe it went by so fast! My life will never be the same."
"It was central to my year. Unforgettable."
"It's awesome, incredible, amazing, life-changing, stretching, and possibly the best program that George Fox offers. May Serve is special and a wonderful opportunity to gain cross-cultural experience while serving and expanding a Christian's worldview. Keep it going!"
"It was incredible. End of story."
Thank you for your continued prayers and support for our May Serve teams. We are so thankful.
The team is currently meeting weekly for prayer, planning and implementing of fundraising activities and preparing for the ministry. If you would like more information or learn ways that you can support the team, please contact Andrea Crenshaw at 503-554-2323 or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Those on the new management is worse than the old management team. They aren't professional to say the most about them. Rent is always paid on time from me but they haven't found a competent manager that knows how to add so they frequent late notices which they have always been in their error. I Aside from the personal issues, the pool has never been accessible because it is not up to code. The small exercise room doesn't make up for it, either. Appliances are old, but they work. Many units could use some updated appliances. Neighbors aren't much of a problem at all so they at least screen the right people. The best thing the management can do, is to keep the rent below market average until they improve on the amenities.

Worst manager I've ever had to deal with. They tow cars left and right, have only 3 visitor spots for company, unfinished paint in the apartments, asbestos warnings when you review the paperwork, infestations in the E building consisting of maggots dropping out of the fans in the bathrooms. If Debbie the old manager was in control, these issues would have been resolved in a timely fashion, with the new management not a thing is getting done. I would advise you to not take the risk, there is a reason the rent and move in specials are so cheap. You get what you pay for.

I recently found out the this place has changed their name. I found them unber a different name where they had terrible reviews. I hope that they changed their name because they have changed their ways, or got new owners or something. I am looking at it like, this happened for a reason. All of the other reviews were bad but a lot of what I read was complaints about other tenants and to me, you will have good and bad neighbers* no matter where you go so I still have high hopes for this place and still can not wait :) Also I think if you mind your own business people wont bother you.

I turned on the TV/DVR this morning at 04:00 and there was no video, only audio from the Moto 7232. There was no video from the TV channels, menu, DVR, etc. I verified my TV HDMI ports were OK by connecting other devices. I decided to unplug the DVR for 15 minutes. That appeared to correct the problem - all is well now. Anyone else experience this? Did VZ update the firmware on the DVR? My non-DVR STB had no issues.TIA....JL
Have had this happen several times. I usually just turn off the TV, give it about a minute, then turn it back on and the pictures returns. (This has happened to me using component and HDMI connections btw, so I don't really know what's to blame.) Try that next time before unplugging the DVR.
Thanks for your response.Regards....JL

Precautions when taking the Klonopin drug
The Klonopin drug, whose inactive ingredients include lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline, polacriline potassium and magnesium stearate, can be taken orally since it does not dissolve completely in water owing to its partial powdery form.
The drug makes it difficult for people to breathe and their face, lips, tongue, and throat to swell and hence emergency medical attention is necessary when these signs occur. Confusion, hyperactivity, hallucinations, and lightheadedness are some of the most common serious side effects of the Klonopin drug and people who experience them should consult a doctor immediately when they occur.
People who intend to use the Klonopin drug should get more details from their pharmacist since it can make them to have allergic reactions owing to its inactive ingredients. In addition, people who are allergic to the Klonopin drug or have other allergies should inform their doctor before embarking on taking the drug. People with kidney disease, liver disease, breathing problems, mental disorders such as depression should inform their doctor when considering the use of the Klonopin drug.

Oral hygiene. I abhor talking about oral hygiene.
I hate going to the dentist like going to my car mechanic. When my car mechanic tells me I need a new "timing belt" on my car, I wonder, "What's a timing belt, and why do I need it?". Similarly, I have no idea if I really do have a cavity as I try to squint to see a tiny opaque spot my dentist is pointing out on the computer monitor. I'd have to hallucinate on something illegal to notice anything on the screen, let alone agree that yes, I see the cavity as clear as a day. And in order to avoid that apprehensive feeling every time I visit him, I follow the daily ritual to brush, rinse, and floss religiously.
But I have a problem with fluoride and all the chemicals that are in dental products. If I am putting all that junk in my mouth, three times a day, imagine how much chemicals I'm ingesting inadvertently. And how about my kids ingesting all that? I don't trust that every ingredient in dental products is safe.
So, I use all natural dental products. But I have to admit; they all taste awful initially. I got used to most of them but not mouth rinses. I couldn't get used to the syrupy, and medicinal taste of natural mouth rinses. My husband hates them too so he uses Listerine. Gah~. My kids don't use the rinses at all and I have the dental bills to prove it. Sigh.
So when The Natural Dentist contacted me to review their products, I jumped on the opportunity. I chose their Fluoride and SLS Free Toothpaste and Antigingivitis Mouth Rinse to test. Oh, there are other products but since I don't want fluoride or SLS, I chose those two. Before I started using them, I did some research so let me tell you a little background on the company…
The Natural Dentist was created by a dentist who wanted to provide all natural, effective oral care products for his patients. This thirteen year-old oral care company is dedicated to using only natural ingredients that are powerful and clinically proven to be effective. I sometimes feel I have to compromise effectiveness with natural ingredients but this company has products that are natural but also proven to be effective without using harsh chemicals, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, dyes or preservatives. They only use minerals found in nature and plant based whiteners and cleansers. I liked what I found in my research.
With that in mind, I used the Fluoride Free Toothpaste and Antigingivitis Mouth Rinse every day for over a month now and let me just say that it is far better than the brand I was using before. These are the reasons why I love both.
- Fluoride-free: a controversial chemical that may or may not help with cavity prevention but does have side effects
- No Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: detergent and foaming agent that makes you think it's working but has a drying effect and sensitivity issues in some people. FYI…Dishwashing liquids and other detergents also contain SLS.
- Active Ingredients Peppermint and Sage Oils are derived from natural plants and they help to prevent gingivitis and reduce plaque
- Natural flavor: continues to taste very refreshing hours after I brush my teeth and what's better – eating breakfast doesn't make my mouth taste yucky after brushing teeth.
- No artificial ingredients: need I say more?
- No box: this reduces packaging material and waste but the tube opening is sealed and there's no problem of product tampering in transit. You know how big I am on reducing excess packaging but not compromising safety of products.
You can read the full list of all natural ingredients for the toothpaste and the rinse on their website but the key Active Ingredients are Peppermint and Sage Oils (have antigingivitis and plaque preventing properties) and all the inactive ingredients are natural and plant based. I love the fact that they are transparent about all their ingredients and they spell out each ingredient, where they come from and what they do.
Toothpaste – you know the toothpaste taste that lingers in your mouth after brushing your teeth but the freshness feeling goes away just as soon you walk out of the bathroom? I didn't get that with this toothpaste. My breath felt fresh hours after I brushed my teeth. My mouth didn't feel dry either, and I'm guessing it's because it doesn't' contain SLS.
Antigingivitis Mouth Rinse – as I said before, I don't use mouth rinses as often as I should because of the awful taste of natural mouth rinses. And the strong flavors of regular mouth rinses made my mouth sting so I stopped using those. I always equated that strong flavor with effectiveness but apparently, that's not the case. The Natural Dentist's Antigingivitis Mouth Rinse doesn't make my mouth hurt while I'm using it and since there's no alcohol or SLS, my mouth doesn't dry out afterwards.
So what's my rating for the Natrual Dentist's Antigingivitis Mouth Rinse and Fluoride Free Toothpaste? Five green hearts.

(11/13/12) - Nowadays, it seems all pre-teens and teenagers have cell phones. While the phones are meant to help make life easier, they can serve as a catalyst for destruction.
A growing number of teenagers are finding themselves in the middle of "sexting" scandals. Candles fueled by secret codes to help keep parents in the dark.
ABC12's Autumn Perry brings us a special report "Cracking The Codes".
Hope Witsell of Florida, 13 years old. Jessica Logan of Ohio, 18 years old. Two beautiful, smart girls with a tragic connection. Both committed suicide after sexting-related torment from classmates.
Unfortunately, their stories are becoming all to common in the world of constant communication through texting and social media. "We see a lot of times where children find themselves forced to move schools, we find that they have a lot of emotional damage and ultimately at times it can lead to suicide," said Michigan State Police community activist, Scott Nichols.
Experts say sexting is far more prevalent among teens than parents know. Though it rarely leads to suicide, it is life changing and the ramifications are permanent.
"It does not go away. When you graduate college and go on to your first job, don't be surprised if someone pulls up those images of you in a mean spirited, stalking way, puts those images at your work site," Nichols said.
Nichols says parental education is key. So ABC12 set out to help parents crack some the codes they didn't even know existed. By now, many of us know the common texting codes like 'lol' and 'ttyl.' But what about GYPO, PAW, TDTM or GNOC?
They are all texting codes - sexually explicit in nature. We took the codes with us to a Mid-Michigan high school to find how familiar parents are with the codes. We got the answer pretty quickly, and the parents got an eye-opening experience. Parents we approached at Grand Blanc High School had no idea what they meant. Don't feel bad, most parents don't know.
"It's kind of scary actually. I would have no idea, if I saw them type that out, I would have no idea what that means," said parent Brandee Lecki.
"It's sad that there are so many of them out there and to really keep up with it is the hardest part," said parent Matthew Morrish.
As pressure mounts on young girls to "sext", Nichols says it's more important than ever parents learn this secret texting language.
"It hasn't happened to me personally that often, but it has happened," said 16-year-old Kaylee Sullivan.
High school student, Tiffany Turner, says it is common among people her age. "My other friend had her reputation ruined because of it, so we talk a lot about that."
Tiffany Turner and Kaylee Sullivan openly admit, they've been pressured, but the stories like those of Jessica Logan and Hope Witsell kept them from clicking 'send.' "I just thought of other people that have killed themselves because of pictures and stuff that have gone viral and I just thought I don't want to be like that so I didn't want to do it," Turner said.
While Turner's good choices spared her the emotional trauma tied to sexting, many her age will statistically fall victim to the troubling trend. The sooner parents can translate these codes - the safer their children are.
"I just don't want them to be taken advantage of and she might not know things, but it's our job to learn things so they can understand them too," said Tiffany's mom Shannon.

I NEVER have the radio on these days. Yesterday Mr 3 was at childcare so I actually decided to have a bit of background noise while I worked away kid free.Late afternoon I was sitting here still half listening to the radio when I heard someone say I'm pregnant. At first I thought they were replaying the announcement from Chrissie Swan and tuned out a bit. Then my ears pricked up and I realised it was Fifi Box still talking. She announced to their listeners on the Fifi and Jules radio show that she intended to get VERY fat for summer. I thought what a crazy thing to say. She went on to say I will be SO fat you will think I am carrying another person. That is because.... I am in fact HAVING A BABY!! EXCITING!Congrats Fifi. She posted a beautiful blog on fifi and jules...
"I have been blessed throughout my life and loved every twist and turn in my journey, but despite the happiness I have experienced with career and friendships, there has always been something missing ... like many women in their thirties I was starting to wonder if it had come at a cost, and for me it was the greatest cost, because despite loving my life nothing could replace what I truly wanted more than anything, to be a mother."
Listen to Fifi's announcement HERE!
Do you listen to the radio much these days? What is your preferred station?
More babies on the way...
Peaches Geldof expecting again
Shakira is expecting!
Livinia Nixon expecting number two
Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell expecting first baby
Sophie Dahl expecting number two
Bryan Adams to be a dad again
Little Britain star to be a Dad!
Chrissie Swan's exciting announcement!
I am very happy for her. I used to listen to her all the time a few years ago and went through all her relationship problems with her. She will be a very beautiful pregnant woman.
He wants to stay out of the spotlight!
Whose the Daddy?
I am more a Chrissie Swan, Mix listener but still love Fifi. Congats to her!
oh wow, thats soooo exciting... Congratulations Fifi and yes, it will be an exciting and emotional ride from here on, till they are 18 or onwards ... welcome to motherhood :)

One sand dune from the Pacific, what else do ...
Rating Details: I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: One sand dune from the Pacific, what else do you need to know??? We've been vacationing at Waldport every summer for 14 years, the last 12 at this house. There are lights & outlets that don't work, carpet is worn, beds aren't the most comfortable, but our whole family & dog can stay and it's ONE SAND DUNE FROM THE OCEAN, so who cares about the other stuff??
Was perfect. For those uncertain about doing a vacation rental I, too was very uneasy doing so as this was my first non chain reservation but Owner Jeff was beyond great about it. He was patient with us and explained all that we had asked and was very prompt with all of his replies. The property was very easy to find along with Jeff's instructions made it simple for us to arrive, access the property and drop our things. The suite that we were in was outfitted beyond any expectations we had had ie 4 forks, 4 plates, 1 pot, 1 pan, etc. Instead, it was a fully equipped kitchen with EVERYTHING that we could have needed (we even brought our own blender along to make slushies to enjoy on the waterfront and lo' and behold there was not one, but 2 blenders in the cupboard!). The suite was clean with no worries of unkemptness. All looked well maintained. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone I know - we'll be looking to stay again next year it was so great. The cost certainly outweighs the benefit as we saw it as a home away from home along with easy access to the extremely private beach (only saw people in the far distance and others just passing by walking the shorefront; it was beautiful). If you are looking to unwind with the comforts of home and being a tourist in this gorgeous part of the world along with the option of not having to deal with people this is the place to go. Thanks, Jeff for the perfect get-away.

text: FASTEST LAP COMPETITION Streets Of Willow Berk Technology puts its time attack experience to good use on the track, setting fast lap at 1:24.694 Berk Technology puts its time attack experience to good use on the track, setting fast lap at 1:24.694 For all the effort every competitor puts into the dyno and drag events, each of them will admit its the road course day they really want to win. Moving the event from mid-July to late October has helped the competitors since the temperatures are about 30˚F lower, giving the engines, brakes, tires and drivers better conditions. Although slightly cold in the morning, the day warmed to the mid 70s and remained fairly constant throughout the day, giving everybody a fair crack at the track. As usual, we split the teams into three run groups, with each getting three 20min practice sessions throughout the morning. This was to allow them time to set-up the cars and familiarize themselves with the track. After lunch, each team got three solo timed laps to set their best time. Unfortunately, some of the drivers were cutting corners and kicking dirt onto the track, handicapping the later cars, which could have been a factor in some results. Practice Unfortunately, we had some problems with timing transponders in the morning. That meant we didn't get many lap times from the teams to gauge how everybody was doing. Overall, the competitors seemed pleased with their progress and were using manual stopwatches to track their cars' progress. The only car with major problems appeared to be Bluewater's Rabbit, which was overheating on the track. Professional driver, Mark Smith, had been brought in to set the times. As the SCCA Pro Solo National champion, he was learning the new track fast, but the cooling issues meant he only got four laps at a time. Yet he was improving with every session. Most of the other teams were complaining that our extended dyno session didn't give them enough time to prepare the cars for the track. However, Berk was ready for action. After last year's disastrous oil fire ended their day early, the team wasn't going to be disappointed again. In addition to some aggressive new aerodynamic parts, they'd also put chassis engineer Carl Rydquist behind the wheel. He's a European endurance racer and working with KW had been able to optimize the suspension set-up to get the most out of the Conti ExtremeContact DW tires everybody was using. It's not often 034 is beaten, but its RWD GTI was struggling for grip out of slower corners It's not often 034 is beaten, but its RWD GTI was struggling for grip out of slower corner Results As the best (and only!) FWD car in the event, Euro Sport Accessories had set itself the goal of beating last year's best lap. This had been a 1:28.9 but unfortunately they were unable to match it. With company owner and experienced racer, Raffi Kazanjian at the wheel, his best time was 1:29.661 despite a bigger turbo and general fine-tuning. It's difficult to say why the car was slower this year but possibly the cooler temps didn't suit the Golf so well, with the tires not reaching their optimum level… AWD The AWD class is traditionally where we look for our road course winner, and all eyes were on the assembled quattros plus Bluewater's Rabbit. Slowest of the group was the Raven Motorsport A4 1.8Tq. with a best time of 1:29.157 they were ninth on the day with Matt Baumann at the wheel. He was clearly having fun and set a very respectable time but you've got to wonder if a pro driver couldn't have found a bit more… One step above him, but more than one second faster, was the Audi TT S from Forge Motorsport. With a time of 1:27.802, the coupe was in the same bracket as some very powerful cars. Part of its performance can be attributed to the skilled feet of Clint Boisdeau, a part-time track instructor who definitely got the best from the 2.0T engine. They were again impressed with the HPA DSG software that ensured the car wouldn't kick-down or change up without the driver commanding it, giving Clint more control in the corners. Ian Baas put in an amazing lap to give the Eurocode S4 third fastest lap and quickest in the AWD class Ian Baas put in an amazing lap to give the Eurocode S4 third fastest lap and quickest in t Despite an impressive lap time of 1:27.045, the team from Bluewater Performance was slightly disappointed. They were hoping to make a clean sweep of the entire GP, with domination of the road course high on their priorities. Unfortunately, the engine cooling problems meant the boost was retarded to 15psi (compared to 25psi on the dyno), so we never saw what it could really do. The driver was happy with the suspension set-up, but Gabe Adams and the Bluewater team are determined to return next year with better aero, possibly a widebody and an ice box to help with engine cooling. The fastest car in this class was the Audi S4 from Eurocode Tuning. This is remarkable since it was in pieces a few days earlier, yet ran faultlessly throughout the event. A big factor in setting the best time of 1:25.727, which put them third overall on the track, was the presence of Ian Baas behind the wheel. A regular driver for APR Motorsport in its Grand-Am S4, he was the ideal candidate to get the best performance from the engine and chassis. Despite being new to the track, having gravel on the course and some minor suspension problems, Ian showed what the S4 could do in the hands of a professional. « | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | » | View Full Article By Greg Emmerson Enjoyed this Post?

Arizona Cardinals
NFL Draft: Five that impressed at the combine
While the draft season continues to unfold, the Arizona Cardinals may have been given the best gift of all from the San Francisco 49ers.
Yes, the 49ers are going to make out like bandits if the reports by Jay Glazer are true, the 34th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft and similar compensation in 2014, but it in turn gives the Cardinals an opportunity to draft the best quarterback in a reportedly "weak" quarterback class in Geno Smith.
If Smith is pushed down the board to the Cardinals, I would hope they would recognize his upside and the new uphill battle they have within the division, and take the chance on getting a franchise passer.
Now for the matter at hand, the five prospects that impressed me the most at the 2013 NFL Combine.
Christine Michael, RB Texas A&M 5-10 220 lbs
If you ignore the fact that he overslept and missed interviews with two different teams, Michael was the man of the workouts for the running backs.
He posted the best numbers of the group in: bench with 27 reps of 225, the same as Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher, a 43 inch vertical jump, a 10.4 foot broad jump, a 6.69 second three cone drill and a 4.02 20-yard shuttle.
He was a day three back and still may be because of injuries that ended his 2010 and 2011 seasons, but he opened up a lot of eyes about how he has healed.
Terron Armstead, OL Arkansas Pine-Bluff 6-5 306 lbs
I wrote about Armstead in my small school prospects to watch at the combine preview, and Armstead took my concern about strength and absolutely obliterated it while also stealing the show in the many of the agility and explosion drills.
Armstead put up 31 reps of 225lbs, ranking exceptionally well versus other top prospects, but what set the combine abuzz, as well as Twitter, was his 4.71 40-yard dash.
Armstead is an outstanding physical specimen that needs some overall refinement work in his technique, but he's moved up from a day three prospect to a possible third rounder.
Lane Johnson, OL Oklahoma 6-6 303 lbs
The man that I was waiting to see at the combine in terms of offensive line prospects, Johnson delivered more than I could have hoped.
He put up 28 reps on the bench, but also turned heads running a 4.72 40 while moving like a skill player in the 3 cone drill and 20-yard shuttle.
Johnson was definetly an option going into the combine for the Cardinals, and with the reality of Joeckel and Fisher being taken in the top five now even greater (thanks San Francisco), Johnson may be the guy the Cardinals turn to.
Margus Hunt, DE Southern Methodist University 6-8 277 lbs
Remember a couple of years ago when the Cardinals took a shot on an underperforming, massive defensive end? That worked out pretty OK for them and Calais Campbell, and maybe that is an option once again.
Hunt showed that he is an explosive athlete with a 4.6 40, 4.51 20-yard shuttle and 7.07 shuttle, and no one questioned his strength, 38 reps of 225, but he showed nimble feet and the ability to move and change direction.
I have been comparing Hunt to Campbell for some time now, and think he would be a great fit as a player to come in on a rotational basis and learn behind Darnell Dockett and Campbell for a couple of seasons before ultimately taking over for Dockett.
Shamarko Thomas, S Syracuse 5-9 213 lbs
I wrote about Thomas Tuesday as a possible day three safety that could come in and help the Cardinals in the transition from Adrian Wilson, but even I didn't expect Thomas to do what he did at the combine.
He blazed a 4.41 40-yard dash, put up 28 reps on the bench and showed off a 40.5 inch vertical leap and 11.03 ft. in the standing broad jump.
Thomas showing off that much athleticism to go with the power I knew he had makes his height a little less concerning, as he plays much bigger and faster than what he is listed at.
While the NFL world will be talking about the Alex Smith
fleecing trade and the possible ramifications of the 49ers now possessing 15 overall picks in the 2013 NFL Draft -- including five within the top 100 -- I am still recovering from an outstandingly entertaining combine.
While the workouts at the combine shouldn't be more than a piece to the scouting puzzle, it is good to get confirmation on players when you have questions, and these five answered my questions.

closed the next dayPosted Aug 3, 2014
When we checked in we were told the hotel was closing for renovations the next day, for two months or so. It was late in the day and yet there were no towels, pillowcases, or toiletries in our room, and they had to be sent up. The fellow who brought them said he didn't usually do that kind of work, so we inferred that most of the staff was already gone. In the morning we went up to the roof for breakfast but ended up going elsewhere because it was in the open air (hot summer sun) and all of the food was just sitting out in bowls -- plus we were then told that breakfast was $20 each even if you only wanted a piece of toast -- perfectly ridiculous even for New York. However the staff was all very nice and the room was very clean and comfortable. Very convenient location for us this trip, but I probably wouldn't go back there unless there was nothing else available.

Nice small hotel for small familyPosted Aug 2, 2014
Nice place to stay for a small family. Rooms are small ... Little space for storage. Barely room for suitcases. Rooms are clean, beds are comfy. Towels are limited and housekeeping needs to improve on restocking bathroom items ( towels, soap, shampoo). Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. A nice sitting area on roof top where they serve breakfast which is a bit pricey but fast when you are on the go. Would stay here again :)

In the centre of Manhattan easily accessiblePosted Jul 24, 2014
No towels, no soap, no shampoo. Every time you arrive at the hotel you should phone or even go to the reception to pick up yourself all these pieces. One night when sitting in the roof, the staff told us that the part we were sitting is closed and we should leave, however another group came and the staff welcomed them, served drinks and let them smoke!!!!!!!

Good location. No a/cPosted Jul 16, 2014
It is close to transit. Right around the corner to the empire states building. 15-20 minute walk to Times Square and broadway. Our a/c stopped working one night and they sent someone up to check the thermostat. He switch it and said wait. Next day it didn't work so a mechanic came up it worked for a bit but that night it was 82 in the room. They said they would send someone up to look at the thermostat but I requested another room. They said ok but did not help us move our luggage, I had to go and get the new room keys, and there was absolutely no compensation for the lack of a/c or moving rooms.

Not bad for the pricePosted Jul 15, 2014
Hotel wasn't bad. I was disappointed that we had to call house keeping FOUR times to get towels. They cleaned our room, but only brought one clean extra towel. The rooftop bar is pretty neat, but the selection isn't great and its INSANELY expensive.

Central locationPosted Jul 12, 2014
Location is key. Hotel is located less than a block away from koreatown and a few minutes walk to empire state building. Easy acesss to public transportation too. Centrally located in midtown. Hotel room was clean and simple. Comfortable bed helped at nights. Will go back next time.

Towels, please.Posted Jul 5, 2014
Pros: Big comfy beds. Quiet rooms. Good location. Good quality and value.
Cons: Lack of towels. Had to ask every day, even at check-in, which was late at night.
Location: Close to eEmpire State Building, subway and MSG.
I highly recommend this hotel. It's location is very convenient. Just a few blocks from Empire State Building, subway and of course Madison Square Gardens. I chose this hotel because of it's proximity to MSG, we had tickets for Billy Joel concert. The size of the rooms is as expected cozy. But, they have queen size beds, a big plus. And, the beds are very comfortable. Room very clean and well appointed. We stayed on sixth floor and it was very quiet. No trouble sleeping. My only gripe is we had to ask for towels every day, even at check-in. However, they were always polite and prompt in delivering them. Highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Overnight StayPosted Jun 23, 2014
Pros: Room was clean. Close to Penn Station/Madison Square Garden.
Cons: The AC and maintenance staff at night.
Location: Close to Penn Station, Herald Square, Macy's etc.
Do not stay in room 208 in the summer. The AC does not work. My husband and I returned to our room at 11 pm to find the room temp at 76 with the thermostat set at 65. The front desk staff came to our room, reset it twice and advised to give it at least 15 min to kick in. At 3 am, I woke up sweating and saw the room temp had gone up to 77 degrees. By the time we checked out (7:45 am), the temp was 78. Clearly the reset never worked and the front desk staff never checked back with us. We couldn't switch rooms because they were sold out. It was an awful experience.

Virtual softsynth with the same engine found in the Waldorf Q, MicroQ, and Blofeld synthesizers.
Many producers and synthesizer enthusiasts asked for a full-blown Waldorf Synthesizer for their virtual rack, and the engineers at Waldorf listened, creating Largo—the first pure software synthesizer with Waldorf DNA. Largo mirrors the technology used in Blofeld and Q hardware synthesizers, giving it a cutting-edge sound that makes a big difference. As with every Waldorf instrument, ergonomics are a core feature, though in this case, it's onscreen. Your eyes will be pleased with the Largo's clearly structured, graphical user interface that supports your workflow intuitively.
The Largo softsynth offers 3 fat oscillators, two of them with sub oscillators. These oscillators include models of classic analog waveforms as well as a selection of waves from the PPG and Waldorf Wave stored in two Wavetables. All these run through two Waldorf multimode filters with steep cutoff, resonance up to self-oscillation, and a drive stage to add even more punch and graininess to the sound. Ultra-fast envelope generators and flexible LFOs, as well as an easy to understand, yet extremely versatile modulation matrix make for a sound designer's dream.
Filters have always been a core part of any Waldorf instrument. With outstanding expertise in both analog and digital synthesis, Waldorf's developers took utmost care in developing the filters for the Largo softsynth. You can use comb filters for plucked, stringed, or blown sounds, and band pass, high pass, low pass, and notch filters are all available with 12dB and 24dB slope. All of them sound extremely accurate and add pure sonic quality to the sound of your music.
The Waldorf Largo contains a flexible arpeggiator with 16 freely programmable steps like the one exclusive to the Q synthesizer line plus an array of high quality effects such as Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Overdrive, Delay, and Reverb.
The clearly arranged user interface helps you create your own powerful synthesizer sounds in a breeze. Oscillators and filters are always in direct access while the submodules are only a mouse click away. It has the same exclusive voice architecture as the Q and Blofeld synthesizer line, fully integrated into the total recall system of your Digital Audio Workstation.
The Largo softsynth works as a VST and AudioUnit instrument.

History of ragging: The practice started in mild form in 8th century A.D. during Olympics that were held in Greece. The practice was later adopted by the armed forces. In 18th century, several schools in Europe and U.S. adopted the practice on the new entrants. After the world war, the students who had returned from war and had rejoined colleges began practicing in rather severe forms as practiced in the army camps.Answered by Jack Johnson, 31 Mar '08 10:08 am
