Solid & Engineered Oak Flooring
A beautifully finished Russwood solid oak floor is a valuable addition to any home or commercial project, providing an elegant and timeless look which is easy to maintain and will last a lifetime.
Our flooring boasts the following benefits:
- High Quality - Our oak floors are European Oak, which is widely considered to be the finest oak available worldwide, due to its attractive colouring, figuring and durability
- Hand-selected - boards are selected and graded by hand, ensuring that a consistently high quality is achieved
- Wide range - boards are available in a variety of widths, lengths, grades, styles and colours, enabling you to create the customised look that you desire.
- Experience - Our experience in advising customers on their flooring choice, fixtures, fittings and aftercare has been perfected over the 10 years we have been supplying these products, so you can have peace of mind that all of your questions will be answered, from planning to installation stage.
- Reputation - We have a reputation for quality, and this is as much about our customer service as it is about our products. With a Russwood floor, you can rest assured that we will go out of our way to exceed your expectations.
- Exclusive - Our floors are made-to-order and you cannot buy them anywhere else in the UK.
- Versatile - Our solid and engineered oak floors are highly suitable for use with underfloor heating.
- Sustainable - We only use PEFC-certified timber, so you can be sure that your floor is truly sustainable
Why choose solid flooring?
Russwood's solid oak floor boards are 20mm thick and are suitable for all types of project. Our solid oak floors can be used on top of underfloor heating, although we would advise that a maximum board width of 150mm is selected.
There is no strong reason why a solid oak floor should be chosen over an engineered one; it is a more traditional option and may be perceived as a more luxurious product, but looks exactly the same as the engineered boards and is fitted in exactly the same way.
Why choose engineered flooring?
Russwood's engineered oak boards are available in three thicknesses; 15 and 20mm (15mm boards include a 4mm oak top layer and 20mm boards including a 5mm top layer). The top layer of oak is thick enough to ensure that it will last a lifetime, but has the added benefit of a ply backing which increases the stability of the board.
This increased stability is perfect for projects where the floor is to be installed over underfloor heating, as the boards may be subject to considerable changes in temperature. Also, in areas of excess moisture, such as bathrooms, engineered flooring may be a safer option to reduce shrinking/swelling.
Due to the various thicknesses of engineered boards, they may also be preferred for renovation projects, for example if there is a requirement to keep existing internal doors (15mm boards can often be used as a direct substitute for carpets, as the thickness is approximately the same).

So what is it exactly?
Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. The concept is individuals set up 'caches' all over the world and share their coordinates online so others can find the hidden cache. If you do take a reward from the cache you must leave something else within the cache.
So how easy is it?
Each cache has a different difficulty considering the terrain, distance and how well hidden it is. Most caches are family friendly but some will definitely, 'bring out the sweat!'
Step 1: So how do i start?
I've been using a etrax legend by garmin and highly suggest it, but consider your options and heres a mini guide about gps recomendations taken from http://www.geocaching.com/about/buying.aspx
Feature considerations for good geocaching GPS gear:
Basemap. This is highly recommended. The additional cost is marginal, and the increase in the equipment's usefulness is substantial.
Channels. Use a receiver with 12 parallel channels. This should include most manufactured after 1997. Older, single-channel receivers are much slower and may not be as accurate.
External antenna jack. This allows the equipment to be mounted inside a vehicle. It is not always possible to obtain good satellite coverage through a front windshield. Even backpackers will benefit from the ability to safely store the receiver inside a pack with an antenna attached to backpack shoulder straps.
Interface. If using the receiver with a computer, be sure that it includes both data in/out ports, and make sure it's NMEA compatible.
Memory. This is used to load detailed topographic or street-level digital maps into the receiver. Topo maps use up a great deal of memory. Capacity should be at least 8 megabytes, or the receiver should include the ability to accept a memory card for as much memory as needed.
Power source. Use a cigarette lighter power cable whenever possible. If you're only using batteries, make sure to carry spares and use a solar charger for extended field use.
Rocker keypad. Using a receiver without a rocker keypad is like using a computer without a mouse.
Screen size. For visual ease of operation, use a receiver with the largest screen that can be realistically carried. Screen size is measured diagonally. Color is great and helps define map features, although it does burn battery power.
Waterproof. Sooner or later the gear will get submerged. Get gear that is at least water-resistant. Plastic bags and boxes give electronics a little additional protection.

Yes there is! Geocaching is geocaching, and I've seen plenty hidden in small parks, graveyards, and even between buildings! I've never geocached in an actual woods.
On a side note, if you run out of water you can drink from a stream but boil, filter and/or treat the water first. Iodine tablets are cheap, easy to use and weight very little. (Just don't use them if you have thyroid issues. There are water bottles designed to filter water for sale at most places with an outdoor section.
Have fun and happy trails!
thanks for the info, i'll try to apply it in my next hike
Chill dudes!
The point is to have a good time! Have you ever been hiking before? Surely you drove somewhere thats challenging. Let's say I was planning one, I would look up if there are any caches around that location I'm hiking, because I'm going anyway.
I agree though, gas is expensive these days.
As far as value, it's not about that. You're supposed to leave something of equal or more value to what you take. It's about the hunt, finding the treasure, solving puzzles. If you don't like any of those things, or the outdoors, it's probably not for you.
Do you watch movies? Pay for cable or sat? Listen to music?
so shut up - I'm so tired of people harping on 'entertainment' when they use it EVERY day. People need these things - if you don't want to do it then why bother talking about it so much????
I can only conclude that you are either jealous (can't imagine why), or just looking for an argument - neither of which is particularly commendable.
That said, I understand what you are saying, but it is the manner in which you chose to say it and the way in which you continued to talk about it that bothers me. If you are not open to other people's hobbies and pastimes then why would we care about yours?
Also rolling on laughing f@&king a$$ off makes no sense
"Also rolling on laughing f@&king a$$ off makes no sense" tells that you do not have nothing to imagine with
"I can only conclude that you are either jealous (can't imagine why), or just looking for an argument - neither of which is particularly commendable." You think you know me . You do not know me so do not act like your someone that dose. That shows your fake nor am I looking for Commendably. I pointed out one down side and it seem that every one has an affiances over it. If what ever I or any one else says bothers you. That is on you I thank you for the free rent I have in your head. My thank you is more then you will get from any one else that eats at you! oh and by the way I am vary open to other peoples hobbies and personally I care less if any one is in to my hobbies or not. I do for my self every one else is little to nothing to my likes
Personal attacks and assumptions about my character do little more than to assert my initial remark and open yourself up for contradiction. Your comment 'you think you know me,' is particularly interesting as it could easily be turned upon itself. Implying that I think I know you means that you think you know me, and so on. Interesting as this paradox may be, it is also the contradiction that exposes my next point - your continuation of this debate. The tender meat of my statement was not that you are jealous (you are obviously not), but that you are perpetuating argument. I have no qualms about your OPINION, it is yours after all. However, you have also failed to acknowledge the section of my previous comment in which I agree with you.
Not because we share the same opinion, that much is obvious at least - but the part in which I admit that although my opinion (stated above) is a constant source of aggravation for me, I UNDERSTAND YOUR SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT AS WELL. And I think you will find that if you skim the previous replies to your comments, you will notice that I am the only one who does. Thus far you are the only person I have encountered with a valid argument on this particular topic. The issue of what we invest vs. what we take away from something (in this case entertainment) is especially relevant today. I was merely stating that it was the way in which you presented your argument that bothered me.
In retrospect, I think I should actually apologise for the rude way in which I expressed my frustration as it said just as much about me as I have interpreted it to say about you. these assumptions however have no place on this site - and I do not wish to further blemish the page of this informative and well put together instructable.
I am sorry for my frustration and the way in which I expressed it - it was of poor taste on my part. I also want to assure you that I make no assumptions about your character: your dedication and affirmation in your beliefs and values is actually quite admirable.
We all have bad days, I should not have taken mine out on you - however, I think we should all be a little more careful to avoid argumentation on forums.
Also, and somewhat unrelated - I actually enjoyed reading your last post. Your argument was very well styled and organized, it was zippy and to the point. I always appreciate good writing, even if it used against me :P
all the best
lol = Laughing Out Loud
ROLFAO = Roiling On Laughing F@&King A$$ Off
BTW, I found my first 3 caches yesterday. Cost me about $2.50 in gas. Enjoyed an hour and a half outside, in the park and the woods, and at a veterans memorial. About the same as renting a movie.
We use a hidden low power transmitter hidden by 1 person and found by teams of amateurs radio operators with special antennas and receivers.

Furman hands Lady Bucs first home loss of season
Monday, January 26, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 26, 2004) - For the ninth straight time, the Furman women's basketball team proved to be too much for East Tennessee State to handle. Deshara Shealey and Jen Nadalin both scored 18 points Monday to lead the Lady Paladins to an 80-68 victory over ETSU from Memorial Center. The loss also snaps a seven-game home winning streak for the Lady Bucs. "The biggest difference is that in the first half we stuck with our game plan - versus the pressure we were getting wide-open looks and making smart decisions," said ETSU head coach Karen Kemp. "In the second half we started forcing things and that just led to too many turnovers." ETSU (8-9, 8-4 SoCon) held an 11-point lead in the first half following a 3-point basket by freshman Brooke Wilhoit (Sevierville, Tenn.), giving the Lady Bucs an early 24-13 advantage at the 10:45 mark. But things would change in a hurry. Furman (10-8, 7-4 SoCon) rallied back to tie the score at intermission, 37-37, thanks to a late run to end the first half. Then with 13:58 to go in the contest, Tommi Paris drained a 3-pointer that gave the Lady Paladins a nine-point cushion and forced a 30-second timeout by ETSU. Head coach Sam Dixon's squad would extend its lead to 17 with just under three minutes remaining. The Lady Bucs were able to battle back thanks to a pair of threes by Wilhoit, but ETSU wasn't able to overcome a 44.4-percent (8-18) shooting effort from the free throw line. Furman, one of the SoCon's top rebounding teams, controlled the offensive glass en route to the victory. The Lady Paladins garnered 12 offensive boards in the second frame, which led to 16 second-chance points. The visitors also forced 22 turnovers in the game. In addition to pacing the Furman offense in point production, Shealey came away with six of her team's 13 steals and dished out five assists. Nadalin also pulled down 12 rebounds in registering her first double-double of the season. Kim Lawrence was able to add 10 points to the winning cause. ETSU senior Kiya Verdell (Hartwell, Ga.) came out of the gates on fire and led all scorers with 17 points going into the locker room at halftime. Verdell finished with a game-high 27 points, one point shy of tying her career-best. Junior Tiffani Mayes (Sumter, S.C.) tallied her team-leading fifth double-double of the season. Mayes netted 10 points and her 19 rebounds was a career-high and was the highest rebound total in the Southern Conference this season. Wilhoit scored 12 points, all of which came from beyond the arc, and sophomore B.J. Banjo (Baltimore, Md.) added 10. East Tennessee State remains at home to take on SoCon rival Chattanooga this Saturday, Jan. 31. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Memorial Center. Meanwhile, Furman heads to Elon for its third straight contest on the road. That game will be played on Thursday, Jan. 29 at 7 p.m.

When your uploading the scores it gives you the option to insert the course layout code, you have to put in that the Int and below played a different course to make the ratings accurate for everyone, also on your Electronic TD report on the Event Layout page You will put an "A" in the divisions Open & Adv and a "B" in all the divisions that played the shorter tees round 1...I believe that everyone played the same tees the 2nd round so all divisions will have "A" in their slot.
Good job with the event, it was a good time!

Update (5/7): ESPN is reporting tonight that the three University of Oregon basketball players accused of rape will not return to the team.
A previous criminal investigation found there was not enough evidence to prosecute Damyean Dotson, Dominic Artis and Brandon Austin. But many are asking why two of the men were allowed to play in the NCAA tournament in March after the allegations were reported.
Administrators at the school said police asked them not to step-in until the criminal investigation was over, which meant Dominic Artis and Damyean Dotson could still play in the tournament.
Read the full DA's report courtesy of KGW: http://bit.ly/1g8V0yX
Eugene, Ore. -- Following an investigation by Eugene Police, University of Oregon basketball players Damyean Dotson, Dominic Artis and Brandon Austin will not be charged for an alleged series of sexual assaults at a party in March.
All three players were investigated on suspicion of first-degree rape. The female victim's father had reported the incident to the UO police department.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Patty Perlow said that given the state of the evidence, the crimes cannot be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
UO President Michael Gottfredson said in a statement that the UO is "deeply concerned" about the information detailed in the police report and that the university takes allegations of misconduct very seriously.
According to a UO Athletic Department Statement issued Monday, Dotson, Artis and Austin are not currently participating in any team activities.

This conversation is closed.
How do I get large scale exposure to gain awareness and increase donation support for my nonprofit mission outside of my own social circle?
I have a start up nonprofit org. I am donating my time, knowledge, love and energy into helping people achieve and maintain optimal health and keep families together through wellness. I need awareness and donation support to make this goal happen.
Fritzie -
Nov 16 2012: Is your question about how to promote the importance of family wellness or how to to promote your own services?
- +1
If you want to promote wellness, you could consider contacting the many organizations in your area that already do that and ask what you can do to help. These will include health maintainance organizations, nonprofits focused on social welfare, community clinics, schools, boys and girls clubs, community centers .... Depending what you do, places like the Y or health clubs and senior centers might be involved as well.
You might want to take that approach even if you are specifically interested in promoting your own agency as opposed to wellness itself.
Generally speaking, nonprofits give a lot of attention to attracting attention and funding, which means an internet search should yield excellent resources, blogs, and newsletters on how to promote yourself.
I notice nonprofits also use well connected board members as a vehicle for outreach.
Good luck in your undertaking.
Nov 16 2012: Hi Fritzie,
My question was geared towards gaining exposure that would bring in adequate funding so that I may begin to carry out my plan and mission with my nonprofit org.
Thank you,
DeeNov 21 2012: dee, another thing i thought of is an organization my mother belongs to, p.e.o. This is an organization of women who help young women get college scholarships. the women in the group are very prominent, you have to be invited to join. my mother's group meets twice a month, and each time they have a speaker. for example, once someone came and talked to them about fish king, which is a small, local gourmet seafood store, talked to them about how the business is run, the history of the business, some of the interesting things that have happened associated with the business. Once someone came from the l.a. zoo and talked to them about, yes, the sex lives of the animals. if there's a chapter near you, perhaps you can speak to them. peointernational.org is the website. if you spoke to the women in p.e.o., they might know about other speaking opportunities. by the way, noone outside the org knows what p.e.o. stands for, it's a secret.
I don't know if your local newspaper could help in your quest for publicity. when I have an idea i want to share, i often send a letter to the editor. they get printed about half the time. But i don't know if you can publicize an org this way, in my case i'm sharing an idea, not publicizing an org. If you have actual events, the newspaper would probably print the time and place.
I don't know how a tv station might help. i don't have a tv, so i don't know much about programming. perhaps there are shows that feature people like you who want to help the community.Nov 19 2012: Hello Dee,
I wanna congratulate you for the effort u showing in order to maintain Healthy families within the society.All i feel is the best approach to widespread your program is marketing.
In current aspect,the best tool for marketing is social media.Its the only platform where you can get in touch with loads of people.
Facebook is one you can create a group add people in it or post a status about your program in a group where they are n number of people.you can tag your friends on a pic stating about your program which there by will help others to know about it and many more ways.
Twitter too is an important media for marketing.Follow a person with large no of followers and re-tweet.
Linked-in is one more too where you can get in contact with professional network which in turn will also add a value to your program.
These will not cost you much except time.
Apart from social media,i think it would be good if you get in contact with well settled non-profit organisations.this will help you to find out different ways to reach out in a wider environment.
Nov 19 2012: Chetan,
Thank you so much. I appreciate your insight and this info. The re-tweet with the right people is a big one I hadn't even considered because I do not know much about Twitter but I am going to sign up today and start re-tweeting. I am taking notes and creating a list of things to do to create more public awareness and bring in my donations for my org.
Thank you very much for reaching out from across the world. I love how the internet brings people together from all over.
DeeNov 18 2012: Dee, I'm not clear on the goal of your org. You're helping people achieve and maintain optimal.........physical health? Mental health? Both? You want to keep families together through............physical wellness? Mental wellness? How is your org different from other orgs doing the same thing? It's hard to give suggestions when I'm not 100% clear on the goal of the org.
I have frequently listened to a radio program that often has guests from nonprofits. It's on a radio station that normally has rock music, but once a week they have an hourlong program on public affairs. I believe people who want to be on the program as a guest apply to be on.
When I go to community events, like my city has a big car show once a year, nonprofits often get to set up a table at the show.
Nov 18 2012: Thank you for asking Greg,
This is a good question I will make a clearer emphasis on my mission statement at my website. I don't know if you visited my website or how much you read there. My focus is on Physical Health. My mother died of cancer having having been exposed to a toxic chemical. My aim is to help people detox and live a non toxic life to avoid this from happening. Prevent illness rather than treat it. When people face terminal illness their entire family is faced with becoming disjointed.
So will I will be providing
Coaching and education and supplies for detox
Coaching and education on shopping for and preparing healthier meals
Meal preparation classes
Teaching non toxic, natural alternative products we use on our bodies and in our house
I will provide holistic supplements and nutritional support.
I will teach plants growing wild for detox and nutrition, equal or better than store bought items for same purpose.
I will be seeking and accepting...
Holistic nutritional products
Holistic supplements
Detox herbs
Detox equipment
Any goods related to wellness; Kitchen tools such as juicers, blenders, food processors, dehydrators,
These items are to be provided to both individuals and groups,
I would conduct group talks educating people to understand the importance of detox and healthier living so that they can live a joyful live in vibrant health and maintain their family unit through health rather than becoming disjointed through Disease.
Also I have created some healthy snack items that I would like to begin to manufacture to make available to schools, camps, orphanages, etc.. I would like to get my healthy creamy whipped fluffy chocolate mousse into school lunches.
If feel if my mom had access to these things she could have beat her cancer and enjoyed her life and family. I would like to help others so they do not have to face these types of tragedies when they can be avoided.
Thank you for the great leads! I will try them.
Nov 19 2012: no, I'm sorry, Dee, i googled you on crowdfunding, but didn't think to straight-up look for your website.
well, it's an interesting idea. What is your knowledge of herbs, have you studied them formally? I know my local Whole Foods supermarket has cooking classes where different outside teachers come in and present different ideas to people. Also, my local public library has speakers come in and present lectures, although in order to speak there you have to have written at least one book. Have you written a book?
Speaking for myself, I'm probably not terribly interested in herbs for nutrition. But I'm kind of different, I follow a really unusual diet, which is I live on milk. Every day I drink between one and two gallons of milk, and I don't eat or drink anything else. I've been doing this for about five years. I find I feel better on this diet than any other diet.
Nov 19 2012: I'm self educated Greg. My mother was an herbalist. I took an interest in herbs at an early age and she started teaching me. I have studies wellness on my own over 22 years. I have taken many courses a long the way and studied under the biggest names in the holistic industry.
When I was little if I got sick I would not get nightquil, I would get a strong shot of Valerian tea, we ate bee pollen to boost immune. During my high school years I lived in a cabin in the mountains and learned about edible plants, wild edible flowers, wild garlic, onions, potatoes and fungus's that grow just about everywhere we are and ate them plentifully.
There is a good focus on herbs although mostly for detox purposes. My main focus is achieving and maintaining optimal health through detox, eating a balanced diet high in nutrition, eating healthy snacks, juicing for health, staying hydrated with the right fluids, getting good supplements, getting proper rest, getting adequate exercise at the level of each individuals ability, and cleansing their hearts and thoughts to find peace within and well being. I feel being well is fully encompassed and all areas need to be lovingly cleansed and reconditioned... body-mind-spirit. I can only help those who are open and willing to help themselves.
Feel free to contact me if your body ever takes a change with your current diet. Thank you for all the great tips!! Wishing you well
DeeNov 18 2012: Greg,
May I have more info on the radio program? I will look into local events I to attend and gain awareness thank you for the resources and tips.
Nov 19 2012: the radio program is called "OpenLine." It airs on KROQ 106.7FM here in Southern California from 6AM to 7AM Sunday mornings. I presume they're still airing it, I haven't listened for a couple of months. You can listen to it on the web. I don't know if you could be on this particular program, Dee. They emphasize local orgs, and their guests are always in-studio, in other words if you were accepted to be on, you'd have to travel to Southern California. But you can always apply, maybe you have some other reason to be down here and they could schedule you to be on the program while you're here. Or maybe you want to visit Los Angeles anyway and they could schedule you to be on the program.
When I mentioned the program I was thinking there might be similar programs up where you are. Also, some programs will allow their guests to phone in, they don't have to actually travel to the studio, so you might be able to find a program at a distance where you could phone in. Like, who knows, maybe there's a program in, just as an example, Ohio, where you might work as a guest, and you could phone in and talk. You'd just have to research.
Nov 19 2012: Thank you Greg, I will look into this and other radio stations in my area. Appreciate the great tips!!
DeeNov 17 2012: Wow David,
It troubles me to know so many are still without electricity and modern conveniences. I hope you able to keep warm OK and get a hot shower, meal etc.. Really sorry to hear this.
I understand what it's like to go to bed without electricity and heat after living in the wilderness surviving off the land throughout my high school years. My heart goes out to you. If there's anything I can do to help please reach out.
A lot of people affected by Sandy are placing ads on the funding generating websites like the one I made this evening thanks to your link. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/278685?a=1771799
It might be worth reaching out for assistance, I'm seeing a lot of people reaching their target goals as Sandy victims are a very high priority right now.
Take care David, sleep warm.

When I read your question I was thinking, if there was a fund rising platform like 'kickstarter' (http://www.kickstarter.com/) for non-profit ideas and so I typed 'kickstarter for non profit' in a search engine and got some results already:
This article may also be interesting, as it covers the topic:
If you refine the search query on this topic you may find other and/or even better alternatives as well.
In any case, good luck to you and your project!
Nov 17 2012: Hi Lejan,
These are great leads I will look into them! Thank you so much for your insight and input.
Lejan .
Nov 17 2012: My pleasure!

If this is going to save your close circle of friends and loved ones, this little effort was worth it ... :o)
Nov 17 2012: It's truly amazing to see how many people are willing to help one another in the world when we can reach out and be heard.
Lejan .
Nov 17 2012: Don't forget, that YOU set out to help others in the first place! So it is just a tiny bit of support of those YOU reached and managed to inspire! That's why I truly hope you will get the funding you need to get started.

Nov 17 2012: You are a dear one... Thank you Lejan. I will remember that as I continue to march forward and persevere until I reach my goals.Nov 17 2012: Thank you for the resource David! I will look into this. I do have a profile on crowd funding but again it relies on utilizing your own social circle. Mine is very small and I don't wish to burden my loved ones with pressure to spread the word for me much more than I already have. I need larger exposure. I appreciate your thought and input.
Nov 17 2012: One Final Link
No relation to Canadian Bacon. Just ask you circles if they know anyone who knows anyone, they do not have to directly know anyone.
Nov 17 2012: : ) send as many links as you like and thank you! You've got me thinking about who I know who knows people who can help. I will put the word out. I'm willing to turn over every stone.
Thanks again David.
Nov 17 2012: If you need any help feel free to ask. I am in the same boat in a way. Hurricane Sandy left me without power and is leading me down a path I am going to need help with. I am an engineer and a builder of things not a business person.
Dee you have a good night. DavidNov 17 2012: Google Plus - plus.google.com (Its facebook only not evil, and less obfuscated) Did I mention I have never gotten a Farmville or Mafia Wars invite there? :)
Dee Lake
Nov 17 2012: Hi David : ) Thank you for your input. I don't want to rely on my own circle of friends. My social circle is small and I don't wish to overwhelm my loved ones with donation requests. I'd like to reach out to the general public.

Although I think I may create a Google Plus profile and add random people who seem like they would be kind enough to pass the word around.
My question is in regards to reaching out to mass numbers of random people through avenues I hope to learn about by asking my question.
Thank you so much for your time and insight!
David Fuchs
Nov 17 2012: http://www.kickstarter.com/ and http://www.indiegogo.com/ work. I believe, but do not quote me on this, that indiegogo allows charity contributions. Look up crowd funding on google. You also have or had Amazon for charity.Plus your family and friends should be asked to spreading the word about your amazing venture to help people.Nov 16 2012: Hello Madhavi,

Yes I have websites. My friends on social media are emotionally supportive but not helpful. I have a small circle of friends and need to reach out beyond them. get an article written up somewhere in mainstream social media would help. Seeking grants is a solid avenue I intend to pursue although I would like to create more public awareness to bring in both public donation and corp funding as well.
I need to know who to contact and where to place my story and links.
Thank you
Nov 26 2012: Hello Dee,
Social media can be used to selectively reach people who may be passionate about your cause beyond your circle of friends.
"to create more public awareness to bring in both public donation and corp funding as well. "
There is public awareness but to be realistic,many are skeptical and apprehensive towards holistic medicine for various reasons. Kickstarter, as some Tedsters suggested is a great start for funding.
"I need to know who to contact and where to place my story and links. "
By sharing your story in online magazines(for eg. magazines on natural /holistic health, alternative medicine, yoga), you may reach people who are more likely to be interested.Nov 16 2012: Dee, social media (twitter,facebook) can play a big role in marketing and spreading your cause. Have you created a website for your organization ?

{You may also be interested in my Clutter-Free Guide for Organizing and Managing Your Classroom.}
Let's take a quick second to look over some things that I really and truly want you to embed in your brains and think about throughout the process...
- You can't organize clutter.
- The less you have, the less you need to manage.
- Your trash is {quite possibly} another person's treasure.
- There is no value in an object that isn't being used.
I want you to start in one corner of your room and work from top to bottom and left to right. Ultimately you'll do a complete 360 around the entire classroom. Get rid of anything that is out in the open for everyone to see that does not fit within the rules you decided upon. If an item is out of place, move it to where it should be. Don't worry about doing a deep cleaning, but wipe down surfaces as you go.
- If you haven't already taken "before" photos make sure you do so prior to taking on this week's task. You'll be so glad you did.
- If you haven't already made a plan for where your clutter will go or prepared your sorting bins, be sure to do that first as well (related links to help: large Sorting Bins , Small Sorting Bins, Make Labels for Sorting - free printables included).
- Ask an honest friend to help. We are in our classrooms so often that we take things for granted. Having an outsider come in and offer honest thoughts and opinions about how your room presents itself can be a huge asset.
- Make sure you have a timer of some sort to keep you on task. The faster you work the less you'll second guess yourself. Use a countdown timer and set a goal. For example: I'll clear off this counter in less than 10 minutes. Play beat the clock.
- Break the task into manageable goals. Look at it as a weeklong project. Plan to tackle one of your four walls (including open shelves and counters) each day Monday through Thursday and then use Friday for the surfaces in the center of the room.
- Don't be tempted to go into cabinets, closets, closed containers, desk drawers, etc. This week is strictly about the surface clutter. It can include excess furniture that is not being used, piles of papers on counters, decor that isn't purposeful, outdated anchor charts, etc.
- Get the stuff out of there IMMEDIATELY. Use your plan for where the clutter will go and get it there right away rather that means walking it to the dumpster, recycling bin, teacher lunchroom or another teacher's classroom. Just get it out of there and don't look back.
- Take pictures after you make a clean sweep. Compare them to your before pictures. It will feel great and motivate you to keep going.

Pteranodon longiceps
With wingspans up to 20 feet, this was one of the largest pterosaurs.
With wingspans up to 20 feet, this was one of the largest pterosaurs.
Dimorphodon was a midsize pterosaur with a blunt, bulky head and two types of teeth.
This pterosaur's rugged skull shows adaptations for digging and eating shellfish.
Article, Video
They flew with their fingers. They walked on their wings. Some were gigantic, while others could fit in the palm of a hand. Millions of years ago, the skies were ruled by pterosaurs, the first animals with backbones to fly under their own power.
Staff Profile, Video
Dr. Mark Norell, curator and chair of the Museum's Paleontology Division, oversaw this exhibition with Dr. Alexander Kellner of Museu Nacional in Rio de Janiero.
Article, Video
Neither birds nor bats, pterosaurs were reptiles, close cousins of dinosaurs who evolved on a separate branch of the reptile family tree.
Article, Video
Many animals can glide through the air, but pterosaurs, birds, and bats are the only vertebrates that evolved for powered flight.
Article, Video
Few pterosaurs lived close to the places where fossils tend to form. Their fragile bones preserved poorly, so pterosaur fossils are frequently incomplete.

Gonzaga football coach Aaron Brady called it a win his team has been "working toward for four years." In reality, it was more like 11.
It was 2002 the last time the Eagles defeated Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, the four-time defending Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) champions. However one chooses to count it, Friday night in Olney signaled the end of a 22-game conference win streak for the Falcons as the visiting Eagles soared to a 30-20 victory, playing the role of spoiler on Good Counsel's homecoming night.
The Eagles (3-2) jumped out to an early lead from which Good Counsel (3-2) never seemed to fully recover. First, Marcus Lewis returned the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown to give Gonzaga a 7-0 lead just 13 seconds into the game. Then, after a three-and-out on Good Counsel's opening possession, which included a botched snap on a punt attempt that gave the Eagles the ball at the Falcons' 12, Ohio University recruit Robbie Walker scored on a 2-yard run to put Gonzaga on top 14-0 less than four minutes in.
Afterwards, a confident Walker called the win a changing of the guard in the WCAC.
"This win means a lot," Walker said. "It's a turning of the tide."
Good Counsel was able to stay in it throughout, really, thanks to three big scoring plays. The Falcons scored all three of their touchdowns on pass plays that went for 60 yards or more.
The first one came on the Falcons' ensuing possession following Walker's two-yard score when junior quarterback Bryan Strittmatter hit Keon Paye for a 60-yard touchdown pass to give Good Counsel some life with 7:41 left in the first. After the kick failed, the Falcons trailed, 14-6.
Later in the half, still trailing 14-6, Good Counsel began to build momentum and forced Gonzaga to punt from its own 47. And when an errant snap sailed about 15 yards over punter Ben Cima's head, it looked as though the Falcons would have prime field position with a chance to tie the game. But, somehow, Cima managed to chase the ball down and get off a 65-yard punt that pinned the Falcons back to their own 12.
Brady called that a game-changing play, adding that Cima had never even picked up a football until this past summer. A rugby player, Cima also connected on field goals from 43 yards out (that gave the Eagles a 17-6 lead with 1 minute, 31 seconds left in the first half), 28 yards and 26 yards, both in the second half.
The second big touchdown play for Good Counsel came when trailing 20-6 (following Cima's 28-yard field goal) when backup quarterback Andres Castillo connected with Kaye for a 65-yard score to make it 20-13 with 3:13 left in the third.
Two possessions after Cima's 26-yard field goal that made the score 23-13 with three seconds left in the third quarter, Castillo connected with Kaye again — this time from 80 yards out — to cut it to 23-20 with 4:55 left in the game.
On Gonzaga's next possession, the scariest moment of the night came for Good Counsel when senior defensive end Jesse Aniebonam collided with a teammate when making a tackle. Following a 20-minute delay while the ambulance made its way to the stadium, the University of Maryland, College Park recruit was carted off the field on a stretcher.
Afterwards, Good Counsel coach Bob Milloy declined to speculate on the seriousness of the injury, but remained hopeful, adding that Aniebonam was moving his extremities and was alert and that it's better to take extra precaution.
Following the injury, when play resumed, Walker found the end zone from two yards out to give Gonzaga a 30-20 lead with 42 seconds left that sealed the win.
Milloy said afterward he was not going to allow his team to be discouraged.
"They played a great game tonight," Milloy said of Gonzaga. "But I told our kids this is just the fifth round of a 12-round fight. We got seven more rounds to go."
It was Good Counsel's first home loss since 2010, a 31-28 loss to DeMatha. The Stags and Falcons play next Friday night at DeMatha.

Vitra got its start in the 1950s manufacturing work by the Eameses and George Nelson. These days, the Swiss furniture company is an authoritative resource for world-class design. This Panton Junior chair is based on the same proportions and material as Verner Panton's legendary Panton Chair, but is about a quarter smaller. The designer considered making a child-sized version in the '60s, but production issues made it impossible to manufacture. Thanks to advances in plastic technology, Vitra released this sleek, pint-sized seat in 2006.

Holy. Shit. I still can't believe I saw what I saw today at Wrigley.
Jeff Samardzija basically told us to take our small sample sizes and shove them up our collective asses. As we expected to meet the new F7, same as the old F7, he went out there and looked pretty damn good all day.
I'm not ready to start calling for him to go to the All-Star game or anything, but if the Cubs get anything close to this from Jeff Samardzija on a consistent basis, it will go a long way to making this team respectable.
Washington was off-balance pretty much all day, and while he got helped out by a few nice defensive plays, it's not like the Nationals were hitting line drives at defenders all day. He should have had a complete-game, 3 hit, 1 run outing, but Starlin Castro uncorked a horrible throw to extend the game, and Adam LaRoche crushed a ball off of the new bleacher party deck.
He was throwing 96 and 97 mile per hour heat at the end, and he even touched 98 at least once.
It was one start, but it was damn impressive and much more than any of us expected, small samples or not. I'm finding myself anxiously awaiting his next start.

More underserved kids taking Advanced Placement exams
By Chris Levister –
If algebra is the "gatekeeper" course that determines whether students will have access to higher education, then thousands of African American and other underserved high school students are facing a locked gate with no key.
That's the conclusion of the U.S. Department of Education's (DOE) Office for Civil Rights 2009-2010 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC). The first of a two-part series, the survey includes responses from approximately 7,000 school districts and more than 72,000 schools.
These data provide policymakers, educators and parents with critical information that will aid them in identifying inequities and targeting solutions to close the persistent educational achievement gap in America.
For example, in 3,000 high schools serving 500,000 students, math classes don't go higher than Algebra I, and 7,300 schools serving 2 million students had no access to calculus classes. Schools serving mostly African-American students are twice as likely to have inexperienced teachers as are schools serving mostly Whites in the same district. Only 2 percent of students with disabilities are taking at least one Advanced Placement class.
"These data show that far too many students are still not getting access to the kinds of classes, resources and opportunities they need to be successful," said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
The data includes information on: access to the rigorous sequence of college and career-ready math and science courses, the number of first and second-year teachers in schools, number of high school counselors in schools, availability of pre- K and kindergarten programs, districts operating under desegregation orders or plans, and whether districts have written policies prohibiting harassment and bullying on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, or disability.
"To meet President Obama's goal to lead the world in college graduates by 2020, we need efficient, practical and accessible information like this to help guide our path," said Duncan.
For more than a decade now, state education departments have been mandating that all students must pass Algebra 1 in order to graduate from high school. New studies are finally coming out on the effectiveness of this push.
"Transparency is the path to reform, and it's only through shining a bright spotlight on where opportunity gaps exist that we can really make headway on closing the achievement gap," said Russlynn Ali, assistant secretary for civil rights in the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
More kids taking Advanced Placement exams The College Board's annual AP Report to the Nation shows record numbers of students taking the Advanced Placement tests, but significant gaps in both test access and preparation remain for some minority students. A decade ago, few minority students were taking PSAT/PLAN tests of AP courses and even fewer were going to college. Studies repeatedly have shown that students who take advanced placement classes have greater chances of attending and succeeding in college.
The program offers college-level coursework to high school students in 34 areas. Upon completion of the courses, students may choose to take the AP exam in their subject. The tests are graded on a 1-5 scale, and a score of 3 or better indicates that students have achieved college-level understanding of the subject. Students who score 3, 4, or 5 on the exams can earn college credit.
Each year, the College Board releases the AP Report to the Nation, which includes demographic statistics on who's taking the tests and how America's high school students are performing.
The report shows that a record 2.9 million exams were taken last year, and 15.9% of the public school graduating class of 2009 scored 3 or higher. These numbers indicate a pattern of steady improvement over the past five years in both access to and preparation for the test for students across the country.
The College Board has actively reached out to underserved communities, and 2009 saw an unprecedented number of lowincome students taking the exams. They made up 18.9% of the total 2009 examinees, and 14.7% of the students who received a 3 or better on at least one test.
However, the numbers show that significant disparities remain, particularly for African American students. They made up 14.5% of the 2009 graduating class, but were only 8.2% of the examinee population. Worse yet, black students made up only 3.7% of the number of students who passed the tests. That's only a slight improvement from 2008, when black students made up 3.5% of those passing the exams.

100' extension cord dynasty 200dx
I think you could get away with the 8/3
Im a welder , not an electrician. I have used the lws supplied 50 foot and 25 foot 230v extension cords, they are 8/3 wire. I used two 50 footers once on a job and didnt have any issues. I guess if your running max output on the machine at that distance there could be the potential for trouble. I guess it depends on current draw and for how long you are doing it. one continuous piece of 8/3 probably would be better as there is no possibilty of the plug and connectors having a poor connection that could cause trouble. If you had to you could probly use heavier cord. Probly be best to consult an electrician and the appropriate code book.I have a welding addiction
...the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask
ext cord.
Nearly forgot, The stuff i described above was using the full 50 amp rated plugin setup , with the 30 amp you describe there could be an issue. Best Consult an electrician. You might be tripping breakers life a mofo if your pulling rated max duty cycle for the machine.I have a welding addiction

thats kind of what i figured. call a sparky.
chances of running the machine at max duty at output are slim but its nice to have the ability.
i have a 50A stove plug but its probably another 50' away bringing the total to 150'.
i hate so much living in a rental house. who builds a shop without 220v service to it? some people...
thanks for the input stu

What is the maximum draw on that machine? 8/3 would be your minimum but 6/3 would be safe and would allow you use it for other things down the road. The cost difference would be minimal up front verses replacing it down the road with a larger gauge wire should the need arise.MillerMatic 251

There isn't a code for extension cords. There are guidelines and on a job site you can have OSHA rules to follow but at a home nuttin'.
I would buy a 10/3 100' cord from lowes Home Depot and then change out the ends.
I don't think you want to see the price on 100' of soow cord.Ed Conley

Haha I've seen the prices and that's why I don't wanna f this up.
as far as I can tell from the 200dx manual:
Single phase 60% duty cycle
230v input
20a input at rated output
further in this chart it lists max conductor length (EXCLUDING FLEXIBLE CORD OR CABLE) as 79' of 12awg
So I should be able to run off my 30a dryer breaker/line right?
And I assume to make up for the extra 20' or so and to make up for the "flexible cord" bs if I bump up to 8/3 I should be ok. Maybe I should put in a 30a line fuse in on the welder side to protect me from the 8/3 catching fire? Any one know if I'm assuming correctly?
The 79' includes the original wiring in the wall and using Minimum wire size of 12 which is allowed for machines that have a duty cycle. There's a formula to figger it out.
But your dryer receptacle by code will be wired with 10g so you are starting with a bigger wire than what is listed in the Miller manual.
So whatever that length is from the panel to the dryer receptacle
And then you want to run out 100' feet from there.
8/3 cord will certainly do
Look for sjo- junior - good for up to 300v- might be a little cheaper
SO- is good up to 600v
The W- for wet applicationsEd Conley

Thanks broccoli. Now I just have to track down some 8/3...
100' extension cord dynasty 200dx
I second Broc's 8/3. You shouldn't have to worry about any voltage drop if your under 250ft.

This quaint island -- a happy medium between well-developed Cape Cod and isolated Nantucket -- offers pristine beaches, boutique shops, and a taste of the region's maritime past.
Edgartown and Oak Bluffs are picturesque New England seaside towns, but still have shopping and entertainment options, like wine bars, ice cream parlors, and elegant boutiques. On the western side of the island, towns like Chilmark and Menemsha provide a more remote experience.
Although restaurants are often on the pricey side, they're typically worth the extra green. Competition in the foodie world is fierce on this island, as the restaurants here have some of the finest service and cuisine on the east coast.
Visitors eager for nightlife might want to look for hotels in Oak Bluffs and Edgartown, as alcohol is less of a focus elsewhere (several towns even choose to be dry). That being said, visitors hoping to fully escape from crazy city life might prefer the western areas of Chilmark and Aquinnah, the most peaceful options. You'll find the most options within the busier parts of the island -- Edgartown, Vineyard Haven, and Oak Bluffs -- but a few decent alternatives can be found in the isolated western areas.

Loading javascripts to another.
What is the best way to load javascript to load another without errors. I loaded with dynamic loading and gives undefined error for running the loaded function after the files loaded.
I put
var head= document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; var script= document.createElement('script'); script.type= 'text/javascript'; script.src= 'helper.js'; head.appendChild(script);
Please tell me how to fix the errors. Or how to call function properly, for misplacement.

You might need to wait for the script to finish loading before you can use a function from the loaded script
Code:var head= document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; var script= document.createElement('script'); script.onload = function() { // here you can execute a function from the new script }; script.type= 'text/javascript'; script.src= 'helper.js'; head.appendChild(script); // if you try to execute the function here, it might fail if loading is still in progress

I have a default template for when I include jQuery in my projects but I guess it's universally applicable:
It looks if a script (in this case jQuery) is already present (e. g. because it has been referenced in the HTML viaCode:function include(file, callback) { var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; var script = document.createElement('script'); script.type = 'text/javascript'; script.src = file; script.onload = script.onreadystatechange = function() { if (callback) {callback();} // prevent memory leak in IE head.removeChild(script); script.onload = null; }; head.appendChild(script); } if(typeof jQuery==="undefined"){ include('js/jquery.min.js', runScript); } else { runScript(); } function runScript() { … }
<script>), and if not, attaches it to the document, and then runs all other JS that might be dependent on it (defined in the runScript() function).

what is the browser footprint of that pattern, does it work in IE8 and all real browsers?Code:script.onload = script.onreadystatechange = function() { if (callback) {callback();} // prevent memory leak in IE head.removeChild(script); script.onload = null; };

If you place the scripts just before the </body> tag then you should not need to wait for everything in the page to load in most cases - 99.999% of scripts placed there can run immediately without problems.

ROUND 1 - Australia 14-17 March 2013Venue:
Circuit Length:
5.303 Km
Lap Record:
1:24.125 = 226.933 km/h - M. Schumacher (Ferrari) 2004
… The last year of V8 racing?
If you meet a Formula One insider who has a 1000-metre stare this year, it's probably because s/he has one eye on 2014, when the engine regulations will undergo a drastic change. This is the eighth and last season with the current 2.4-litre 8-cylinder format which was introduced in 2006. So enjoy the music of those 18,000 rpm, 750 horsepower units as next year's 1.6-litre V6 turbos could sound a whole lot different. "We are looking forward to this season, the final year of the V8," says Renault engineer Rémi Taffin. "Albert Park is a tough place to start the season as it represents a hard challenge for engines. The average speed is towards the top of the table, while the percentage of the lap spent at full throttle is also one of the highest of the season. The short bursts of power between corners put the internals under intense pressure, while greatly increasing fuel consumption; in fact the fuel consumption per 100km is the second highest of the year."
… Five Melbourne rookies?
Only four teams – Red Bull, Ferrari, Lotus and Toro Rosso – have driver line-ups unchanged from last season. The major change, of course, is Lewis Hamilton's move from McLaren to Mercedes, with Sergio Pérez coming in from Sauber to replace him. The five newcomers include Esteban Gutiérrez, in for his compatriot Pérez at Sauber; Valterri Bottas, the young Finn moving up from reserve driver to full-time racer at Williams; Giedo van der Garde, the Dutchman also graduating from reserve role to race seat at Caterham; and the all-new pairing of England's Max Chilton and Frenchman Jules Bianchi at Marussia. Van der Garde probably speaks for them all when he says: "For me the most exciting moment of 2013 will be when the lights go out in Melbourne and everything I've dreamed of for so long comes true. I've worked hard all winter and in the tests to prepare myself and I'm ready, physically and mentally."
… A new tyre combo?
For the first time Pirelli will deploy its Supersoft (red) compound in Melbourne, alongside the Medium (white)to give the teams a wide gap in performance and therefore in their strategic options. "All the compounds and constructions have changed for 2013, and the drivers should notice a wider working range and a bigger window of peak performance," says Pirelli's Paul Hembery. Expect a minimum of two stops per driver – unless, of course, the Melbourne weather finally decides it's autumn and we get some precipitation… Pirelli, by the way, have a new ambassador in the shape of former Ferrari favourite Jean Alesi. "Albert Park was a circuit that I enjoyed as a driver – I competed there from its debut year after the grand prix moved from Adelaide – but it's really not typical of anywhere else," says Alesi, hitting the Australian nail on the head right away.
… A new Melbourne winner?
Winter testing has suggested – surprise, surprise – that Red Bull will again be the form horses. But the man who has won here three times in the last four years says we should be ready for anything. "One of the most fascinating things about Formula 1," says Jenson Button, "is the way it resets itself each and every winter. I've seen every side of that: you can have a terrible winter of testing, then turn up at the first race and be competitive; equally, you can look impressive in winter testing and be nowhere in Melbourne. If you're lucky, it all comes together in the tests and you hit the ground running at the first race. That's always the goal."
We have five previous Melbourne winners in the field: can you name them? (see answer at end)
…Lewis in a Silver Arrow?
Yes, the 2008 World Champion, who had 'McLaren Driver' stamped on his forehead at birth, is one no longer. He jumped ship at the end of last year to Mercedes – and they've been pretty eye-catching in the pre-season tests as well. But Lewis is making all the sensible noises too. "I can't wait to get to Melbourne, get out on track and find out where we stand," he says. "The Australian Grand Prix is always an exciting race: the teams don't know how they compare in terms of performance, the fans are fantastic and, with big changes to the tyres again this year, we just don't know what will happen in the race. I love the circuit. It's a street track with a really bumpy surface so you try and put as much downforce on the car as possible and it really puts the drivers to the test."
…the return of the prodigal son?
They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, but Force India have been kind – or calculating – enough to offer Adrian Sutil a chance at redemption. The 30-year-old German has been out of the frame since earning a suspended sentence and fine for an off-track incident that clouded an otherwise highly promising 2011, but Barcelona testing confirmed that he would get the nod ahead of Jules Bianchi. He's had five races in Melbourne before: his best qualifying is 10th, his best race result ninth. "Having been away from the sport, I'm even more determined to achieve my goals in Formula One," he says. "Things went really well at the Barcelona test and it almost feels as though I've never been away. Driving the car felt so natural and I was able to get back in the groove quickly and find the limit."
…the Mark and Daniel show?
It's a mixed blessing for our two Aussies, coping with the increased demands from all and sundry while rising to the occasion in their home Grand Prix. Last year Mark Webber scored his best-ever Melbourne result – in his 11th appearance here – when he finished fourth. He's not getting carried away, but he likes what he's seen and felt in the tests and has his eye on bigger things this year. "The champagne will taste a little bit better in Melbourne if I get on the podium," he says, and everyone hopes he will. Dan's eyeing up podium finishes in the not too distant future too, but realistically it's World Championship points like last year's he is chasing. "As long as it stays dry it's going to set the playing-field pretty evenly and hopefully we can get up there in the points. That's the real aim," he insists.
Did you get the winning quintet? Alonso (2006), Raïkkönen (2007), Hamilton (2008), Button (2009-10-12), Vettel (2011)
2012 ResultsPole Position: Lewis Hamilton (Vodafone McLaren Mercedes); 1:24.922 = 224.803 km/h
1st: Jenson Button (Vodafone McLaren Mercedes; 1:34.09.565
2nd: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Renault)
3rd: Lewis Hamilton (Vodafone McLaren Mercedes)
Fastest Lap: Jenson Button (Vodafone McLaren Mercedes); 1:29.187 = 214.053 km/h on lap 56
Webber / Ricciardo Watch
This will be Mark's 12th appearance in the Australian Grand Prix. Best result so far: P4, 2012 (Red Bull); best qualifying: front row 2010. Five points-scoring finishes. Dan's appearance last year was his first; he qualified 10th and finished ninth.

Koh Yao Noi Island is situated in the Bay of Phang Nga in Southern Thailand and even though the island is only a one-hour boat ride from the tourist hub of Phuket you will feel as if you're a thousand miles away. There are no loud bars, no high-rise hotels, just a handful of bungalows overlooking the Andaman Sea. Not only is this island affordable, it's an untouched paradise. The traditional way of life on Koh Yao Noi Island has remained virtually unchanged. The main road snakes through rice paddies, fishing villages and plenty of secluded beaches. The best way to explore it is on two wheels.
Who can go on this tour?
Any person with a good condition will have no problem to finish this tour. The average of speed cycling is 18-25 km per hrs. Most of the cycling follows roads with little rolling terrain and some short off-road tracks up and down hill. Some experience will help, but anyone in good condition can enjoy this ride. You will enjoy various types of landscapes and get in touch with local people as our lifestyle Bike Tours.
