Honey Boo Boo's parents, Mama June (June Shannon) and Sugar Bear (Mike Thompson), exchanged vows on May 5 at their home in McIntyre, Georgia; and true to their country roots, the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" couple wore full redneck attire.
Naturally, the whole family got in on the fun!
[Gallery: 80 Most Memorable TV Weddings]
Mama June walked down the aisle in a camouflage ballgown, which featured a sweetheart neckline with a cap-sleeved bolero jacket; a ruched, tiered skirt; and a bright orange tulle underskirt and sash. The 33-year-old reality TV star completed her bridal look with matching tennis shoes, a white veil, and a bouquet of tie-dyed roses.
Sugar Bear and his groomsmen rocked camo pants, black shirts and ties, and orange vests and boutonnieres.
Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Honey Boo Boo (Alana Thompson), who was the flower girl, looked as though she was ready to head back to the pageant circuit, in a neon orange and pink princess gown with a bejewled bodice. She polished off her look with pink flowers in her hair and plenty of makeup.

Mama June and Sugar Bear, who met in an online chat room nine years ago, will not divulge whether or not they actually tied the knot yesterday, but said they wanted to celebrate their love in front of family and friends. A rep from TLC told omg!, "We aren't saying what the ceremony is. You will have to wait for those details until it airs this year."
Of the ceremony, the reality matriarch did tell People, "We stayed true to our roots and made the focus on the family and my commitment to Sugar Bear. My sister baked the cake, and we spent most oft he money on barbecue."
More important, there's one thing that didn't cost a penny -- the advice that June doled out about love. "Never settle for a man who doesn't treat you right," she says. "If a guy doesn't love everything about you, move on! There are plenty of other fish in the sea."
Wise words, June.
Regardless of whether they're husband and wife, we can "redneckognize" that it was one heck of a party!
We bet their ceremony will be the talk of McIntyre from now until their hit show returns to TLC on July 17.

Gallery: Yunak Evleri is a 5-star hotel built into ancient Turkish cave...
Many caves were carved out of the soft limestone cliffs in the region of Cappadocia, whose history dates back to the 6th century. The hotel was completed in 2000 after extensive cleanup and grounds improvement. The remarkable cave retrofit brought in power for lights, Wi-Fi, and modern gadgets, as well as plumbing for the individual baths.
The rooms have each been impressively finished with antiques of the 1900s Ottoman Empire, adding a nostalgic elegance to the rocky interior facade. Each suite is rich with hand-carved details right in the rock: medallions, nooks, arches, windows, and doors. Each room has a white marble-adorned spa with either a steam shower or a Jacuzzi, as well as its own outdoor patio overlooking the ancient landscape. Visitors will notice how incredibly silent their rooms are, as well as how they maintain comfortable and cool temperatures even on the hottest of days. Individuals can also explore a number of other cave homes and even cave churches that dot the region.
The dining room and reception areas are set within a restored 19th century Greek mansion built with white marble and finished in wood. The rooftop restaurant rises above the landscape to provide panoramic views of the ancient land, while also surveying the unique guest quarters.

Unfortunately most preservation efforts require money which may be in short supply. Not everything can be kept pristine without any use. The trick is to decide which sites are so important that they have to be preserved and which sites can be put to some use to pay for their preservation. It's a judgment call and often a subject of controversy.

Dear SmegHeads, one of the best ways of protecting the hictorical structures is using them. The problem is, quality of usage. You should think about the philosophy of architectural conservation. On the other hand, Yunak Evleri looks nice.

If you love to watch the UFC like I do, then you have probably got that itch to place a bet on an upcoming fight. As the UFC continues to get bigger and better, more and more people are starting to wager on this sport. It's not quite up there with the other major sports, but it's definitely something where you can make some money if you do your homework.
Above you will be able to get the latest odds for all the big fights from some of our most recommended sportsbooks. If the lines aren't available for a specific fight you are interested, be sure to check back as this feed is updated on a consistent basis. If betting on the UFC is something that you are considering, it's definitely worth opening an account at multiple books. It's something I encourage every better to do no matter what sport they are betting. Having an option between +150 and +155 might not seem like much, but over the long run you are costing yourself money if you aren't able to get the +155 option.
My advice to someone who is new to betting the UFC is to be extremely cautious of betting huge favorites. Risking anything more than 300 to 100 is putting yourself in danger of digging a big hole that can be difficult to climb out of. What I like to do is look for value with the underdogs. If you follow the sport closely, you will see that there are a lot of fights where the wrong fighter is favored or the favorite is getting way to much respect from the oddsmakers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE12/20/2012Contact: Eitan Bencuya, firstname.lastname@example.com, 202-495-3047
2012: After Repeated Losses, Coal Industry Continues Downward Spiral
One Coal Plant Retired Each Week in 2012
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Over the past twelve months, the nationwide campaign to phase out coal burning in the United States continued to win victories from coast to coast, including securing dozens of coal plant retirements and record investments in wind and solar. Facing unprecedented public opposition, the coal industry experienced numerous setbacks in 2012 as its market share fell and stock prices tanked.With an overarching goal to move America off coal and slash carbon pollution, an unprecedented coalition including Sierra Club and more than a hundred local, regional and national organizations has helped to secure the largest drop in U.S. coal burning ever. The campaign now includes legal and grassroots fights targeting every stage of the coal lifecycle in more than forty states and has grown to become one of the largest and broadest grassroots environmental campaigns in the nation's history.The year saw 54 existing coal plants retired or announced to retire, an average of one plant per week. Meanwhile, no new coal plants broke ground this year, marking the end of the coal industry's decade-long "coal rush," a highly controversial Bush-era plan to build more than 200 new coal plants and lock the nation into a dirty, coal-fueled future. Opposition from community members nationwide prevented the construction of 174 proposed coal plants, including 13 in 2012 alone. The decline of the coal industry's fortunes was evident in the marketplace as well. In 2012, many investors lost big on coal, with numerous bankruptcies of coal mining companies and coal-burning utilities including Midwest Generation in Illinois, Patriot in West Virginia, and Dynegy in Texas. After declaring bankruptcy, Patriot – Appalachia's third largest coal company – reached an agreement with the Sierra Club and its allies to end the practice of mountaintop removal coal mining and retire much of its large scale surface mining equipment. The poor economics of coal were epitomized by the news that the Great River Energy Spiritwood coal plant in North Dakota has sat idle since it was completed at a cost of $440 million earlier this year. But coal's downward spiral in 2012 is only half the story. With help from the Beyond Coal campaign and its allies, the wind industry hit 50,000 megwatts of installed capacity nationwide, and today more than ten states get at least ten percent of their electricity from clean, renewable wind power. Similarly, solar made significant headway, and in the first nine months of 2012 solar power increased 80 percent over the same period in 2011. By year's end the solar industry is projected to install 3,200 megawatts. Through September 2012, the U.S. now has enough solar and wind installed to power more than 12 million homes.
Beyond Coal 2012 - By The Numbers
"This grassroots campaign is doing something no one thought was possible," said Bruce Nilles, Senior Director of the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign. "At this pace, we are on track to end the scourge of coal burning in the United States within the next two decades. Every coal plant retired means less mining destruction, less air and water pollution, and a better chance to prevent runaway climate disruption.""The health of our families and our children are the big winners in 2012," said Mary Anne Hitt, Director of the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign. "Through landmark pollution standards and a decline in coal power, millions of Americans have cleaner air and water, our children are safer from toxic chemicals, and we've laid the building blocks for averting future climate disasters.""The Beyond Coal campaign succeeded in 2012 by moving our nation toward a cleaner energy future, benefitting both the public health and the public good," said philanthropist and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, whose Bloomberg Philanthropies has committed $50 million to the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign.Launched in 2002, the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign is working to 1) stop the construction of new coal-fired power plants, 2) retire the country's existing coal plants and replace them with clean energy no later than 2030, and 3) keep US coal reserves underground and out of world markets.

Sebastian Vettel claimed his seventh race win on the trot as he triumphed in Abu Dhabi ahead of Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg...
Sebastian Vettel claimed his seventh race win on the trot as he triumphed in Abu Dhabi ahead of Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg...
Red Bull:
Sebastian Vettel: "I think today was incredible; the pace we had was scary at some stages, I felt very, very good on the soft tyres and was able to pull out a good gap in the first couple of laps. I think it's difficult, being an active member of the team, to put things like today into perspective. When I think of the times we've experienced over the last few years, it's incredible to have a strong group of people together that believes so much in what they do. To be part of that is great and makes me proud. The car was so enjoyable on every single lap. There are not that many races when you are in complete control of the car - so it's special. I didn't get the maximum out of myself yesterday, but we made up for it today."
Mark Webber: "Seb was on another planet today and was very, very strong in the first stint. He was super quick and his tyres didn't wear out, which is a recipe for disaster for the rest of the opposition, me included. Nico had a very good start on both Sebastian and I, but fortunately it wasn't a long run to the first corner. We got under way from there and I attacked Nico on the first lap, but then we had to look after the tyres, so we waited and then on lap eight or nine we were in trouble with the rears. I made a good move on Nico to get back into position. It would have been good to win, but we got second and I'll go to Austin and try and do better."
Nico Rosberg: " I had a great start to the race and was able to catch Mark off the line. I thought there might be a chance to get Seb but it wasn't quite possible. I was able to push hard in the first stint on the option tyres but the second stint wasn't quite as good as the car had a lot of oversteer on the primes and Mark was able to pass me. After the second stop, the set-up worked much better and we were able to set some really good lap times. We didn't quite manage to take the challenge to the Red Bulls today but we were closer at least to one of them and hopefully we can make it happen in the last two races. As a team, we scored some great points for the constructors' championship this weekend and I'm very happy about that."
Lewis Hamilton: "That was a tough race this evening for me. My race just didn't quite come together and I'm not really sure why as I gave it my all out there. I had some problems with grip and, of course, it's so difficult to overtake here when you are in traffic but we also need to figure out why I'm not getting the maximum performance from the car at the moment. The guys worked so hard this weekend to get my car repaired and ready for the race so it's frustrating not to have delivered a better performance for them. A massive thank you to everyone for their efforts and it's great that we have extended our lead for P2 in the constructors' championship. All points count but Nico did a really good job today to maximise the potential of the car. Hopefully the last two races will be stronger for me and I look forward to that challenge."
Lotus F1:
Romain Grosjean: "Fourth place after a difficult couple of days is a decent result. That was a pretty long race. I got a good start and made up two places in the first few corners, but after that I lost a lot of time behind the Force India. I could overtake him with the DRS, but he had much better top speed and could just drive straight back past at the next straight. That middle stint cost us the chance of a podium in the end, and on pace we could maybe even have pushed Mark [Webber] for second place, but that's how it goes sometimes. It's a shame we couldn't make it four podiums in a row, but to come away with fourth place after a difficult couple of days is a decent result."
Kimi Raikkonen: "It was a shame we couldn't start where we qualified. There was some contact in front of me through the first corner so I stuck to the inside, but unfortunately one of the Caterhams touched my front wheel and it broke the track rod. It wasn't a heavy impact, but the angle made it worse. It's never easy starting so far back on the grid, but after the penalty it was a better choice to help our chances in the race rather than starting from the pit lane. After a difficult start to the weekend we did well yesterday so it was a shame we couldn't start where we qualified, but these things happen sometimes; it's just back luck."
Fernando Alonso: "I am happy to have brought home points for the team in a race that was always going to be tough, on what has been a very difficult weekend for us. Given the gap to the top four, I certainly couldn't have done more. Starting from further back, we knew we would find ourselves in traffic, therefore having done well at the start, I tried to overtake as much as possible. When we saw that we were always behind another car, it became impossible to think in terms of a single stop and it was clearly better to switch to two and attack. As the mediums were holding up quite well, we thought we'd use the softs for a short stint to try and do a series of quick laps. As for what happened with Vergne after the second pit stop, I don't know what the stewards will say, but the rule states that if you have an equal amount of car to the other one on the track then you can use all the space. But this was only one incident in a race which, for me, was fantastic. Now, if we don't want to give up our fight in the constructors' championship, we absolutely must do better and finish the last two races on the podium".
Felipe Massa: "Today I was competitive from start to finish and pulled off a lot of passing moves with a car that handled well. It was a great race. Our strategy was based on a single stop, but when we realised that the pace was too quick for the rear tyres and the wear was greater than expected, we decided to make a second stop so as not to take any risks. Fitting the mediums rather than the softs was not the best decision, because the softer compound was quicker by at least a second per lap: I'd managed to do 19 laps on them in the first stint and it would not have been a problem to do the same in the final part of the race. It's a real shame, because we could have finished at least fifth, but even if this is not the result we deserved, I am still pleased with my performance. Now we head for Texas and Brazil, two tracks that on paper should suit our car better and where I hope I can continue to be competitive."

text: Dolphin Stories Tuesday, January 19, 2010 Faculty-Mentored Undergraduate Research Thrives at Le Moyne 3:21 PM :: 4110 Views At left, Dr. David Smith and Dr. Larry Tanner lead a research trip with students to Iceland. Associate Professor David Craig, Ph.D. of the Le Moyne College physics department and senior Christopher Carson are in the midst of preparing to conduct a research project to enhance understanding of decoherence, which Craig describes as "the physical process and mechanism by which what is fundamentally an uncertain, quantum world appears to be a deterministic, classical world." Download PDF file listing current faculty-student research projects at Le Moyne Fully grasping the transition from "quantum" to "classical" is crucial to learning how to build systems and devices such as quantum computers that fully utilize quantum properties to accomplish tasks more efficiently than a classical device alone could, Craig explains. The project is also an ideal opportunity for Carson, a physics major, to dig into this complex subject and contribute to it by applying what he has learned in the classroom to the lab. "You can talk about something all you want," Craig says. "Students will never know what it's truly like to be a scientist until they do it." Faculty members across disciplines cite numerous benefits of faculty-mentored undergraduate student research, including the ability to probe into a complex problem, to think and work independently, and to assess the results of their work. Le Moyne's long-standing commitment to such research spans a variety of academic departments – from physics, chemistry and biological sciences to English, psychology and foreign languages – and is underscored by several recent developments. Those developments include initiatives by Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Linda LeMura, Ph.D. to support summer research projects on campus; the competitive process that students go through to seek funding for various projects through the Student Research Committee; and the creation of the position of coordinator of student scholarships and fellowships, notes Kate Costello-Sullivan, Ph.D., associate professor of English. For the past three years, Costello-Sullivan has served as a mentor for students completing theses for Departmental Honors or in the College's Integral Honors program. She is currently working with senior Nick Herubin, a political science major and Irish studies minor whose work examines British and American use of stereotypes of "Irishness" in the 19th century. "I think any time that you can invite students to complicate their understanding of a discipline, a concept, or a text, you give them practical skills and means by which to approach and interpret their world," she says. "Critical reading and thinking are always practical." Like her colleagues, Costello-Sullivan sees multiple benefits to student scholarship. "I think the benefit is two-fold: first … is the ability to engage in a sustained intellectual enterprise that demands complexity and rigor," she says. "Such effort teaches students not to fear complexity but to embrace it. Second and equally important is the potential to allow students to see themselves as scholars-in-the-making." In Herubin's case, his research was a continuation of what he learned about Irish history and society after he spent a semester studying abroad in Dublin. "It is a chance to really focus in on a particular subject," he says of his research. "I also think we (as students) benefit from the chance to research almost anything that interests us. The variety of different topics my class is researching is really incredible." Costello-Sullivan notes that many of the projects the students undertake support the Jesuit mission of the College; they have practical, hands-on consequences or address social or political issues or problems, a reflection of the College's commitment to use education to benefit society as a whole. One such project is currently underway within the College's Department of Biological Sciences, where Ben Thivierge, a senior natural systems science major, is analyzing soil samples he and several classmates took during a trip to Iceland in 2007. The samples were taken from areas where glaciers have retreated. Since the glacial retreat is a consequence of global warming, the work examines the effects on the environment of this warming, explains Larry Tanner, Ph.D., professor of natural systems science, who is mentoring Thivierge. In particular, they hope to understand whether the processes of succession and soil formation can offset the anthropogenic additions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. "Being in the sciences, the best way for us to learn is actually getting our hands dirty and manipulating the conditions to suit the experiment," Thivierge says. "Working in the lab or in the field with a faculty mentor allows that person to share his or her experiences in the same situation. … Conducting research as an undergraduate also shows that you wanted to take that extra step and really learn about your field." Unlike experiments performed in lab courses, there is no predetermined outcome, Tanner says. "The research process is fundamentally about asking questions, and trying to devise methods of finding the answers," Tanner says. "As scientists, we try to show students how to approach the basic intellectual process of inquiry, and this is no different than our mission of creating life-long learners." Le Moyne students have co-authored publications in prestigious scientific journals on novel discoveries to which their work contributed, and co-authored presentations given at national and international meetings, notes Beth Mitchell, Ph.D., professor of biological sciences. With her students, Mitchell conducts research on the function of the cellular structures known as cilia or flagella. These organelles are important in cell movement and sensory functions; in mammals, for example, cilia play essential roles in such diverse systems as reproduction, respiration, kidney function and vision. These organelles are important in cell movement and in sensory functions of virtually all plants and animals, including reproduction, respiration and vision. "The chance for students in the sciences to do faculty-mentored research reflects an important growth opportunity for them," she says. "It represents the best way to actually teach students how science is done and is really the quintessential hands-on learning experience."

I am sure that most of you will think that money and influence will make you stronger in this materialistic society. However, what makes you stronger is good health through the regular observance of eating better and maintaining an active physical exercise plan. Without good health, you will end up paying more on medication and medical procedures to keep you alive. Hence, be practical in your way of living and focus on what are important not only to yourself but also to your family. The fact is the weight loss reports have shown dramatic effects to block fat. Choose a healthy lifestyle by taking the effort of regularly observing a nutritious meal plan. Most of the employees at a utah seo firm upprcut.com have reported feeling much better after following our advice
Start by eating better especially by cooking your own meals. Do not rely on processed and instant foods because these contain less nutrients and vitamins. Get the freshest and most nutritious fruits and vegetables from the farmer's market. You can also save more by patronizing local organic produce that are sourced from farms near your city. The advantage of this is that you are getting the freshest produce that are less exposed to contaminants during freight and distribution. Nonetheless, try to check the proximity of these local farms from manufacturing and industrial sites. The best local farms are those that are situated in higher grounds or way up in the mountains as these are less likely to be affected by air pollutants.
Significantly, local organic produce are not grown using pesticides that are made of harmful chemicals. Hence, you can be sure of eating better because your food are free from toxic contaminants. The main reason for it is that these organic produce are grown by using natural fertilizers from compost and animal manure. Not only are these farms growing healthy foods, these farms are also keeping the environment clean. Through the use of natural fertilizers from animal waste and biodegradable trash, these farms are helping us avoid air and water pollutants. As you well know, harmful pesticides leak into our waterways, rivers, and seas which would eventually poison the living creatures in these bodies of water. It is not only the fishes that are affected by pesticides but also the sea animals' habitat and sources of food.

The reason we cannot find a cure for the common cold is because viruses mutate rapidly. Where do the mutations occur in the DNA/mRNA of viruses and does this have any effect on the protein level? what has to change for the virus to be considered a new strain?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Biology Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for biology researchers, academics, and students. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I don't know if this is a comprehensive enough answer, but viruses are taxonomically broken down into order (-virales), family (-viridae), subfamily (-virinae), genus (-virus) and species. This system was developed by the ICTV and is concurrently used with the Baltimore System.
A lot of species contain variations called virus strains. There are two types, serotype and genotype.
In serotypes, the differences are detected by variation in antigens. Genotypes are detected by differences in genome sequence.(1).
The reason a vaccine is difficult to create for the common cold, or upper respiratory tract infections is not only because of the frequency of mutation but also due to the large number of serotypes present.(2),(3).

Interpretive Handbook
9013 :
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is endemic throughout the world. The infection is spread primarily through percutaneous contact with infected blood products (eg, blood transfusion, sharing of needles by intravenous drug addicts). The virus is also found in various human body fluids, and it is known to be spread through oral and genital contacts. HBV can be transmitted from mother to child during delivery through contact with blood and vaginal secretions, but it is not commonly transmitted transplacentally.
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is the first serologic marker appearing in the serum at 6 to 16 weeks following exposure to HBV. In acute infection, HBsAg usually disappears in 1 to 2 months after the onset of symptoms. Persistence of HBsAg for >6 months in duration indicates development of either a chronic carrier state or chronic HBV infection.
See The Laboratory Approach to the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Hepatitis B Infection in Publications.
See the following in Special Instructions:
-HBV Infection-Diagnostic Approach and Management Algorithm
-HBV Infection-Monitoring Before and After Liver Transplantation
-Viral Hepatitis Serologic Profile
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of acute, recent, or chronic hepatitis B infection
Determination of chronic hepatitis B infection status
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A reactive screen result (signal to cutoff ratio [S/CO] > or =1.00, but < or =50.0) confirmed as positive by hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) confirmatory test (see Method Description) or a positive screen result (S/CO >50.0) is indicative of acute or chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, or chronic HBV carrier state.
Specimens with reactive screen results but negative (ie, not confirmed) HBsAg confirmatory test results are likely to contain cross-reactive antibodies from other infectious or immunologic disorders. Repeat testing is recommended at a later date if clinically indicated.
Confirmed presence of HBsAg is frequently associated with HBV replication and infectivity, especially when accompanied by presence of hepatitis B envelope (HBe) antigen and/or detectable HBV DNA.
See the following in Special Instructions:
-HBV Infection-Diagnostic Approach and Management Algorithm
-HBV Infection-Monitoring Before and After Liver Transplantation
-Viral Hepatitis Serologic Profile
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not offered as a screening or confirmatory test for blood donor specimens.
Not useful during "window period" of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (ie, after disappearance of hepatitis B surface antigen [(HBsAg] and prior to appearance of hepatitis B surface antibody [anti-HBs]). Testing for acute HBV infection should also include hepatitis B core IgM antibody (anti-HBc IgM).
Positive screen results (ie, S/CO >50.0) without need for confirmation testing should be interpreted in conjunction with test results of other HBV serologic markers (eg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc total, and anti-HBc IgM).
Not suitable as stand-alone prenatal screening test of HBsAg status in pregnant women.
Positive HBsAg test results should be reported by the health care provider to the State Department of Health, as required by law in some states.
Individuals, especially neonates and children, who recently received hepatitis B vaccination may have transient positive HBsAg test results because of the large dose of HBsAg used in the vaccine relative to the individual's body mass.
Performance characteristics have not been established for the following specimen characteristics:
-Grossly icteric (total bilirubin level of >20 mg/dL)
-Grossly lipemic (triolein level of >3,000 mg/dL)
-Grossly hemolyzed (hemoglobin level of >500 mg/dL)
-Containing particulate matter
-Cadaveric specimens
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

It Might Be Time For Holiday Inn To Consider Installing Caller ID
This might make you think twice about ever answering the phone in your hotel room again. A woman staying in a Holiday Inn Express near Baltimore was the victim of a prank caller who, citing a "gas leak," successfully tricked her into using a toilet bowl lid to trigger the sprinkler system, which then caused her room, as well as a few others, to flood.
According to WBAL, firefighters responded to the call on Friday night, assuming there must have been some emergency. Instead, all they found was a woman in a wet hotel room sheepishly holding a toilet bowl lid.
Meanwhile, the prank caller, who called the hotel a few hours later to claim responsibility, is part of a nationwide prankster network that apparently likes to target places like hotels and fast food restaurants. Though we like to believe our readers are too smart to ever fall for a stunt like this, we feel this might be a good time to state the obvious: always check with the Front Desk anytime someone claiming to work for the hotel shows up at your door or starts calling you. Better yet, just don't answer the phone at all—that's what we have cell phones for.

Preventing Theft
There are several ways to protect your property from theft. Even if a theft does occur, you can still impact other crimes, and possibly get your property returned to you by following a few simple steps:
If you don't have a driver's license, obtain an Oregon ID card from the Department of Motor Vehicles and engrave your property as follows:
Ideally, engrave your property in two locations: one obvious, and one hidden. Engrave on solid components, not those that are easily replaced.
When unmarked stolen articles are taken into custody, they cannot be traced and returned to you, and may be disposed of through auctions, or even returned to the thief on demand!
Engraved property is more difficult to fence. As a stolen item, its market value is low anyway, but marking the property can reduce its value another 90%!
Well-marked property is easy to trace back to a legitimate owner; unmarked property is not.
For delicate electronic items, where you are concerned that a vibrating engraver will damage circuitry, you may choose to use a diamond or carbide tipped engraver.
Photograph items that cannot be engraved -- antiques, jewelry (next to a ruler, to show size), artwork -- and keep the photos in a safe place with your written records, such as in a safe deposit box. Videotaping your property is another option. Expensive cameras may lose significant resale value if engraved.
If you want to sell your engraved property, draw a single line through the number and suggest that the new owner engrave their number next to it. If the original number is obliterated we can assume the property is stolen, and confiscate it!
If you move out of state, your marking should still be effective. Just make sure the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles has your forwarding address.

Customer Reviews (22)
- Love itReview by Howie
- great packReview by [email protected]
( i only wish the pathfinder pack came out 1 month earlier.) (Posted on 8/26/2010)
- i like it similar to wanderReview by sgt hoot
- My favorite packReview by pspaladi
- A great pack, except for the shoulder strapsReview by Rawredmeat
1. Get rid of the canvas shoulder straps! After 3 days of sun and bug bites, the LAST thing I want to have mashing into my shoulders are two dirty, grit filled, rough canvas shoulder straps! The simple leather straps that are standard issue on all othe Duluth Packs would be a MAJOR improvements. I personally had mine replaced with the deluxe straps, and look forward to using it this summer!
2. A couple of lash points on top for raingear/drying stuff would be great.
3. I'd love to see it souped up a bit like the new "northwoods pack"- the sleeves behind the two front pockets are brilliant! (Posted on 7/19/2010)
- Perfect size for me!Review by bjr
- Perfect for scoutcraft & fishing (and canoeing) Review by GrowUp-DaveyBoy
This pack has never let me down. It's extremely durable, and versatile. I can't remember what I paid for it, but it has certainly turned out to be a better value than something cheaper. Still looks almost new. I love the pockets. I love the whole pack. It never disappoints.
If you don't use a pack basket, it works well to put one of those folding canoe seats right inside the back,. That helps it keep its shape -- making it easier to pack and un-pack. It also protects your back from hard/pointy gear.
I can't think of anything I don't like about the Rambler. Might love it even more with leather shoulder straps, but that's picking nits. (Posted on 4/16/2010)
- greatReview by a nice bushcraft pack
- Rambling On!Review by Him
- My new hunting partnerReview by The Chateauguay Kid
It was nice to be able to find a pack that was put together with quality as a primary concern - not cost. Thick leather straps and copper riveting much the same as my old canvas pack that I had to finally retire after 35 years.
It gets a 4 from me because buckles and straps are fiddly to deal with when you have gloves on. That's just a fact of that type of closure, though and I wouldn't change a thing about this pack. (Posted on 6/18/2008)

D- Ring Cuff: You should be able to fit one finger between the cuff and your arm. This space is imperative for an accurate reading because Omron's digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement that detects your blood's movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading.
Comfit Cuff: The cuff should be wrapped tightly around the arm. If the cuff slips or easily turns, the cuff should be tightened.
If the cuff is wrapped too loose or too tight, you may get an inaccurate reading or error message.
Where do I get information regarding the software for my unit?
For information on software please visit the Omron Healthcare Software Support center at www.software.omronhealthcare.com
How do I compare the readings on my blood pressure monitor with my doctors readings?
When using your unit at home your readings may be lower due to a more relaxed environment. If you want to compare the readings from the measurements taken with your home unit to the readings taken with the device used by your healthcare provider please follow this direction; use the Omron blood pressure monitor to take the first measurement followed by the unit used in the healthcare provider's office. It is necessary to use the digital unit first because of the different methods used in the devices. The Omron Home Blood Pressure Monitor measures the vibration or movement of blood through your arteries and converts the movement to a digital reading (Oscillometric Method). A doctor listens for sound using a stethoscope and gauge (Ascultation). The artery is constricted during the measurement. Constricting the artery and not allowing the artery to return to its condition prior to the measurement may cause incorrect measurement values when using the digital device.
Comfit Cuff Sizing
How do I assemble and apply the D-ring cuff?
When the cuff is assembled correctly, the hook material will be on the outside of the cuff loop and the metal D-ring will not touch your skin. If the cuff is not assembled, pass the end of the cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal D-ring to form a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff loop.
1. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.
2. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Turn the palm of your hand upward.
3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2 inch above the elbow. The cuff tab should lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm. The cuff tube should run down the center of the arm even with the middle finger.
4. Secure the cuff around your arm using the cloth closure. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened evenly around your arm.
5. Make sure the cuff is wrapped firmly in place. You should be able to fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm easily.
6. Relax your arm and place your elbow on the table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
7. Be sure there are no kinks in the air tubing.
Additionally, the user's technique is very important for reliable measurement results. Listed below are some of the common reasons you may get an inconsistent or inaccurate reading:
Cuff Size
Cuff Application
Before Taking a Measurement
Body Position
According to American Heart Association, blood presure should normally be less than 120/80 mm Hg for an adult. Blood pressure that stays between 120-139/80-89 is considered prehypertension and above this level (140/90 mm Hg or higher) is considered high (hypertension).
*Your doctor should evaluate unusually low readings.
Why should I monitor my blood pressure at home?
Many healthcare providers strongly recommend home blood pressure monitoring. Home blood pressure monitoring is one of the best methods of trending a person's blood pressure in their own environment. In some people blood pressure rises above its usual level when it is measured in a doctor's office or clinical setting. This condition is called white coat hypertension. It is estimated one out of every five people have this condition. When this condition is suspected, the doctor may suggest blood pressure be monitored away from the office. Home Blood Pressure monitoring provides valuable information to the doctor.
Why can the measurement values differ when measurements are taken on the right and left arm?
Blood pressure measurement values vary from the left arm to the right arm. The average is generally within 10mmHg (millimeters of Mercury) for most individuals. The user should consult a doctor before using the right arm to take a measurement. The doctor can assist the user in determining their measurement values for the right arm.
The cuff is designed mainly for use on the left arm. All validation testing is done on the left arm for the general population.
Omron digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.
What is the accuracy of Omron Blood Pressure Monitors?
All Omron blood pressure monitors are clinically proven accurate. Pressure: +/- 3 mmHg or 2% of reading, Pulse: +/- 5% of reading. This meets or exceeds the AAMI (Assoc. for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) standards.
How do I delete the stored data in my unit?
The process for deleting the stored data is unique to your model. Please check your instruction manual.
How do I apply the pre-formed Comfit Cuff?
1. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.
2. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on a table so that the cuff will be at the same level as your heart.
3. Hold the cloth closure on the cuff with your other hand.
4. Turn the palm of your hand upward. Apply the cuff on your upper arm.
5. Align the marker on the cuff over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm.
6. The cuff tube should run down the center of the arm even with the middle finger.
7. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately � - 1 inch above the elbow.
8. Secure the cuff around your arm using the cloth closure.
9. Make sure the cuff is wrapped firmly in place.
10. Relax your arm and place your elbow on the table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
What is the warranty for the cuff on my blood pressure monitor?
For most models, the warranty coverage for the arm or wrist cuff is one year. Cuffs will need to be periodically replaced throughout the life of the monitor. When purchasing a replacement cuff for a arm unit please be certain to measure the circumference of your arm to purchase the correct cuff size.
Can I file an insurance claim for the purchase of my Blood Pressure Monitor?
Consumers should contact their individual insurance company to determine whether the purchase of a blood pressure monitor is covered by their insurance company.

The "Jersey Shore" star showed off her taut and toned body on Twitter, posting a series of photos that show her doing some grueling workouts with her trainer.
In one picture, you see the four-foot-eight reality star lifting a tire that is bigger than she is, while showing off her defined arm muscles. Snooki also posted a selfie shot that flaunts her tiny, fit waist.
Snooki also had some choice tweets for the haters:
It's been 10 months since Snooki gave birth to her son, Lorenzo Dominic LaValle.
More of Snooki's workout routine (Twitter)
So what's the secret to her success? "I have a trainer," Snooki explained. "He trains me five days a week and then I do cardio on the weekends. He sends me meals, so it's basically chickens, vegetables, and salads."
The reality star also revealed she has cut out alcohol. "I go to the gym every day, and I have these huge muscles," she continued. "I mean, I'm fit now. I lost almost 50 pounds, so it's definitely changed my life."

I'm now on my way back to Europe. It was an interesting and eventful trip to Asia, as usual! Three very different cities in three weeks, and three very different tournaments, with different conditions.
Unfortunately I didn't do myself justice at all in Seoul, and in Tokyo I didn't adapt very well to the sharply changing conditions between my two matches.
But the matches that I played gave me confidence, even though I lost them - I felt like I was slowly getting back into the groove. It was obviously very satisfying to turn things around against Bartoli, and the China Open was a successful event for me.
At the same time, I leave Beijing with regret, because I feel like I missed my chances against Caroline. On the positive side, I competed well with her, and she's the new world No.1. I'm confident that this is a sign of things to come - I need to take this form from the China Open into my final two tournaments of the year, in Luxembourg and Bali.
I was talking to my team about these Premier Mandatory tournaments - Madrid and Beijing. They were introduced two years ago and both of them are nine-day events, but I still haven't played during the opening weekend! Last year I was injured and ill, and this year I started on a Wednesday in Madrid and on a Monday in Beijing.
I am a big fan of these events. It's such a pleasure to play in these beautiful new arenas, with many courts available to practice on - you may be surprised to hear that at some events there are not enough courts for players, so we have to either share a court, which means hitting in just half of it, or hit for only half an hour.
It's also fun to play more mixed events and to see friends like Novak Djokovic around the player lounge.
The Olympic tennis courts in Beijing are a wonderful facility and I'm looking forward to coming back next year. They are even building another new stadium, so the current centre court, the Lotus Court, will be the second court then.

those that know the game take me seriously, I don't worry about clowns who know nothing.
We've been over the "One of the best teams of the decade" nonsense. What titles did Woody and the Jets win in that time frame? A division title at 9-7! Ross, who you think is a terrible owner, has the same in 4 years. The only difference is the Dolphins won theirs with 11 wins and didn't need to rely on other teams choking. Regardless of what you think the Jets were the last decade, it is irrelevant to what the Jets currently are. Under Rex, the Jets are averaging 8.5 wins per season and it looks like the average will continue to drop.
If you don't want to acknowledge facts that's on you. The facts show us as one of the best teams in the AFC. After the elite teams over that period of time(NE, Ind, Pitt) we are right there w/ Baltimore though they are beginning to seperate and can seperate even more these next 2 weeks.
If you think your team is relevant becasue of all the negative media, then enjoy. I wouldn't want my team to be relevant if all they were known for was being a Circus and the laughing stock of the league. I guess when you can't compete with the Giants winning Super Bowls, you have to do something to remain in the headlines. I hope the Jets keep up the good work.
Those two are also future HOF QBs. You can't be arguing they're elite. Manning and Rodgers are consistently at the top of the QB position every single year. It isn't just about winning a SB.oh so there is only 1 elite QB per year and it's the QB that wins the SB? Interesting.
In the last 12 years, the Jets rank #8 in winning % (.515) behind NE, Pitt, Bal, Indy, Den, SD and Tenn. The only title they won was a division title in 2002. The 4 playoff wins in 2 seasons does not erase a decade of mediocrity.
The win % is affected by QB injuries.
we made the playoffs in '02, in '03 Chad missed a ton of the year
we made the playoffs in '04, in '05 we played a 4th string QB most of the year
we made the playoffs in '06, in '07 Chad got hurt again, Clemens played most of the year
that affected our win % but we were still 5th in apps and 5th in wins
The two players in question have both won Super Bowls so I don't know what the hell you're talking about. In someone like Dan Marino's case, he was elite b/c he had a million records. Do you disagree Marino was elite? There are variables in ANY discussion.so players don't have to win SBs to be elite but teams have to?

There are no excuses when you are trying to argue that your team was one of the best in the decade. If you want to argue that they could have been had Chad not gotten injured, fine. But even with a healthy Chad, the Jets barely made the playoffs only winning more than 9 games just twice. It is not just about qualifying, it is also how you qualified. In most seasons, the difference between the Jets making the playoffs and missing the playoffs came down to other teams choking or not in the last games of the season. That is not how the best teams qualify for the playoffs.
2001 Clinch on a last second FG (0 playoff wins)
2002 Needed Miami to lose the final 2 games to qualify (1 playoff win)
2003 6-10 (no playoffs)
2004 Needed Buffalo to lose their final game to qualify (1 playoff win)
2005 4-12 (no playoffs)
2006 Jets make it on their own for a change. (0 playoff wins)
2007 4-12 (no playoffs)
2008 9-7 (no playoffs)
That is 8 seasons with 4 playoff apps and 2 playoff wins. At this point the Jets are only 2 playoff apps and 2 playoff wins ahead of Miami (who has been awful) in the same time span. No one in their right mind would argue that the Jets had been one of the best during that time. They were slightly above average at best.
You know the story of 2009. They struggled to win 9 games and had they played a team that was actually trying to win, they wouldn't have made it. Once gifted in, they beat a dead team in Cincy while riding a string of 5 consecutive missed field goals for 2 playoff wins. I give the Jets full credit for 2010 even though they did have a lot of things go their way during the regular season. So, in just 2 seasons the Jets doubled their playoff win total which catapulted them into 5th in playoff wins for the decade. That is great, but 2 seasons doesn't change what happened the past 8 years. 2 seasons can not magically transform the Jets into one of the best AFC teams in the decade.
