Fantastic sleep last night. I do my typical learn how to walk, tea and Cliff bar thing. I also pay my respects at the privy which turns out to be the cleanest yet. Exton asks if he can hike with me this morning and we head out together. He's hiking back to his car by Neel Gap and I've decided to take a NERO at Mountain Crossings at Neel Gap. What's a NERO? Where a ZERO is basically a day off where you hike zero miles, a nero is one where you hike nearly zero miles. Nero. Neel Gap is 2.8 miles away which makes this a nero day. Although I feel well rested and my knee feels better than last night, there's definitely something going on with it and I think taking most of the day off will help. Continue reading
AT Day 3, hammock city
I wake to water splashing onto the mesh and into my hammock, as another wild storm passes overhead. It's 5am and the rain has picked up back to Monsoon again. Biblical even. This has to be the hardest rain I've ever camped in. I reach under the hammock to feel the my UQ. Wet and mucky, again. UGH! "Forget it, I'll deal with it when I get up in a couple of hrs," I think to myself as I doze back off. Lori and I once slept in our hammocks during the tail end of a hurricane and didn't get this wet. I think it helped that we had nice thick grass under the hammocks to help absorb the rain while the hard packed dirt beneath me tonight is doing the exact opposite. It seemed like such a perfect spot last night when I was setting up.
A couple of hours later, I try unsuccessfully, to tune out the voices I hear just outside my floating palace of one. Ok so setting up the hammock directly in front of the shelter where everyone congregates, may not have been the most perfect spot. It's daylight and still raining. Might as well get up and assess the sitch. The piece of Tyvek I use as a ground sheet under the hammock, and my hiking shoes sitting on top, are completely caked with muck. The UQ is still damp and also covered with muck. As an added bonus, I find my hiking shorts have fallen off the top of the hammock and are laying in the mud completely covered, nice. Continue reading
AT – Day 2, a poop in the woods
Usually it takes me a day or two to get comfortable sleeping in the woods but I have to say I slept fantastic last night. Had to force myself to get up and leave my little floating cocoon. My calves screamed at me the second my feet hit the ground. The ladies said they slept pretty well, and didn't fall out of their hammocks – woohoo! I made a tea and slowly packed up camp, calves feeling better with every step. I don't typically eat breakfast first thing in the morning so I forced a Cliff bar down before heading out.
Pretty quiet hiking most of the day, almost tranquil. The forest tends to insulate the sound pretty well, and there's definitely a lot of forest here. I pulled into Hawk Mountain shelter at mile marker 8.1 and found a couple of guys packing up their gear. I was hoping to use the privy and to re-fill on water at the water source my map book indicated was .1 mile behind the shelter. Continue reading
AT – Day 1, conquering Springer
Strange but I was actually feeling nervous, you know, like before an interview butterflies-in-the-tummy-nervous. So I'm not sure if it was the nerves or the food at the lodge or what, but man was I happy to have a full bathroom for some quality one on one porcelain time this morning. First thing after getting up – hit the bathroom, unpacked my new gear – bathroom, text Lori – bathroom, went for breakfast – bathroom. It was a nicely tiled bathroom, something you'd find in a more upscale hotel. Talked to Lori on the phone for a bit. Apparently she didn't get home till after midnight, yuck. I re-packed my backpack with the few extra goodies I had shipped to the hostel the previous day, and went in for one final round in that super snazzy bathroom before hitting the trail at the crack of 11.
Lori text me: "just remember Andrew Skurka's words. Hiking is a tortoise's game, not a hare's."
Continue reading
And so a new adventure begins: The Appalachian Trail.
We've talked about doing this hike for a long time. Initially we considered doing it together but after a short test hike a couple of years ago, Lori decided that she didn't love it as much as me. Something about not enjoying climbing mountains all day long, non-stop sweating and the constant bugs. With that in mind she gave me the green light to go hike.
It took Lori & I a couple of days to drive down to Georgia, about 1300km's (800 miles), where the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail is. We left pretty late the first day and then got delayed at the border. "So how long you gonna be in the states?" I was asked. "Oh about 3 months," I replied. Seemed to be the wrong answer as it prompted even more questions followed by: "well that's a long time so you're gonna have to go see immigration and talk to them."
Surprisingly it only took about 30 min to clear immigration. I say surprisingly because when we arrived, the room was full of people. I couldn't help but wonder what they do with Snowbirds every year. "Yes I'll be here for 6 months!" I think the correct answer lies somewhere between 1-2 weeks.
Lori dropped me off at the Hiker Hostel, in fact we spent a night at the Hostel shipping container cabin. Super cool set up; queen bed, tiny hotel sized fridge, sink, bathroom, a tiny counter height table. Everything you need and at $55/night, it even included breakfast the next morning.
Lori was planning on driving all the way home to Brantford, an easy 13.5 hrs ;), so she left right after brekky. I waved goodbye and watched her drive off and all of a sudden the reality of what I was doing hit me. I'm planning on hiking the Appalachian Trail (AT) for a few months hopefully getting all the way to Maine, 2189 miles north.
Now there are many ways to hike a trail like this. You can go out for a short day hike here and there. This is pretty easy to do as you don't really need any specialized equipment. Just some good trail runners and maybe a hydration pack or day pack with some water and snacks. You leave your car in a parking lot and off you go for an hour or 3 or 6. You hike a few miles and then return back to your car. Some will hike with a buddy and will leave a second car at a location ahead somewhere allowing them to hike on rather than having to double back to the original starting point. Of course to hike all 2189 miles it would take most of a lifetime or two to get'er done.
Some people will also do what's called a section hike. This is a little more involved and closer resembles a thru-hike as far as gear or equipment needed. A section hike can be anything from a few days to even a few weeks. Basically anything more than a day hike and less than a thru-hike would fall into this category. Because you're going to be on the trail overnight you're going to need a little bit more than a hydration pack. Overnighting it in the woods typically requires the Big 3: backpack, shelter and sleep system (sleeping bag and mattress pad). You'll need to bring other items such as food, a stove or cooking kit, clothes, first aid kit, toiletries, things like that. You're also going to need to figure out the logistics of getting to the trail and then back off the trail. But this allow you to hike a longer section of the trail, it also provides you with a different experience of the trail than just day hiking.
A thru-hike is pretty much a really long section hike. Gear wise it requires a similar set up, I would even go as far as saying one will take less gear for a thru-hike. With a section hike you might bring a few extras, perhaps you're trying out a new piece of gear or are trying to decide between 2 pieces so you bring both to test. I think it's a little easier to get away with bringing an extra few ounces knowing that the hike is only going to be a few days, while I think you need to have your gear set up dialled in for a thru-hike. With that said, you can always ship something home or get different gear sent out to a town close to the trail. A thru-hike requires hiking continuously for around 4-6 months depending on how fast you hike and how many days off you take. Simple math will tell you that hiking an average of 16 miles each day it would take about 4.5 months to hike all 2189 miles. That's assuming you hike 16 miles each and every day without stopping.
Besides logistics, the biggest difference between the three I think is the commitment of time required to do each one. Some folks prefer day hikes, while others like to go out for several days and nights at a time. Some enjoy the hike itself and love to do lots of miles but don't like to sleep in the woods, so day hiking might be a better fit for them. Some love to go at it alone, while some love the social atmosphere present at some of the shelters along the way.
Lori and I have made plans to seeing each other somewhere down the trail but with Lori starting a new job in 2 days, we're not sure how much time off she'll have or when. So it's all up in the air at the moment. Being away from her is going to be the most difficult thing if I hike the entire trail. I say if, only because thru-hiking the AT has a success rate of only about 26%. That means that out of the 2000 + aspiring thru-hikers that set out to hike the entire length every year, only about 500 or so actually make it.
There are many reasons for a success rate that low, the biggest one of which is that it's really quite difficult. You're hiking over mountains, smaller one, big ones, and even bigger ones. But lots and lots of mountains. The elevation gain alone is the equivalent to hiking up Mount Everest 16 times and the AT has an elevation gain/loss of over 515,000 feet. The hardest sections are reported to be at the start of the trail regardless if you're starting at the southern terminus of Springer Mountain in Georgia or the northern terminus at Mt Katahdin in Baxter State Park located in Maine. It's a physical challenge no doubt but also a mental one too.
Although I think starting from the north and hiking south is more challenging for several reasons. For one, you face climbing and descending Mt Katahdin as your first order of business. Next as you leave Baxter state park, you are greeted by the 100 mile wilderness. As the name implies there is nothing except wilderness for 100 miles. No restaurants, no resupply store, no coffee shops, just 100 miles of you and the wilderness. Oh and just in case you're thinking "that's not that bad," let's not forget the ferocious black flies and mosquitoes that are with you very step of the way along this stretch. If you make it out alive, and that's a big if, you are then faced with hiking over the White Mountains in NH. I'm getting tired just thinking about all that.
I've decided to start in south where the biggest worries I have are just the mountains and the bears. If I can take it easy over the first couple of weeks and avoid injuries, I'll have a good shot at 2000+ miles. But to be honest I'm happy to just be out here hiking for as long as I can.
The Hiker hostel where we stayed last night provides shuttle service to the starting point of the Appalachian Trail, or to Amicalola Falls. Amicalola is actually considered the unofficial beginning to the AT.
I signed in at the visitor centre here as a thru-hiker and proceeded to climb the 650 or so stairs to get to the top of the falls. Killer by the way! But don't worry, I only almost passed out once.
About 175 steps up, you're greeting by this sight. Not bad. The next 475 steps are a lot less anti-climactic and offer less of a reward. Unless you consider ending the pain a reward.
On my way up the stairs I met Jeremy who is from Maine and is planning on (thru) hiking home. Cool. We suffered up the stairs together at least. Jeremy kept on trucking to the top of Springer while I ducked into Amicalola Falls Lodge calling it a day. Gotta start off small after all, right? Amicalola Falls Lodge offers all the creature comforts, a clean bed, a restaurant and internet, and after some negotiations at the front desk I even got a discounted rate for a room.
Tomorrow, I hike the Appalachian Trail!
That space in between
So I've been home for a couple of weeks and have to admit that I'm feeling a little deflated, bored, and maybe even a little depressed. It's hard to come off a year of constant motion, of picking up daily and moving on to somewhere new and exciting, and just STOP. Even harder to come off the adrenalin packed month I've had in California; flying high in a formation clinic, driving a sling shot or munching on a Schat's Bakery sandwich at a quiet overlook while staring out at the ever captivating Sierras. It's kind of hard to get excited about watching traffic go by outside our window and reading the weekly Canadian Tire flyer with my morning tea. UGH! I've tried to get out as much as I can but even hiking on the local trails is a little anti-climactic after hiking out west.
Maybe it's the post adventure doldrums. Maybe I'm feeling this way because everything associated with "here" has to do with our former eat/work/sleep lives. Maybe reality lies somewhere in between, I have no clue. Continue reading
Reflections at Lake Powell
Needles, Hoover Dam, and now Lake Powell. I was starting to connect the dots along the colorado river.
What another stunning place. Lake Powell is man made and I'm told it has more coastline than all of the United States. It was once a stunning canyon much like the Grand Canyon.
Sunrise from my campsite on the lake. I'd say it's still pretty stunning! Continue reading
A near death/stupid experience at the Bristlecone Pines
With Tigger already fixed up (actually I snuck back to San Ramon over the weekend to pick up my bike from the dealership before heading back for all that fun in the sky in Fresno), I headed out on my own again for a couple of days. Mike and Kati were heading to Lake Powell the most direct route and I wanted to head over the Sierras.
Mike's expertise of everything California became obvious to me within the first couple of hundred miles as I managed to fill up at the most expensive gas station around. Not to mention I had to pay attention to the GPS again.
Sonora Pass was closed the previous week from the winter still, so I was looking forward to taking a new pass over the mountains. It was nice to have Tigger in tip top shape again and fresh rubber on the rear. The previous tire had kept me company for 18,000km's (11,250 miles), and still had some miles left on it. I'm really liking the Heidenau K60's. The front has over 33,000km's (20,625 miles) at this point and I expect it to last to 50,000km's (or about 30,000 miles). As long as you don't need to do a tire change on the road, these things are fantastic.
Sonora Pass did not disappoint. No vehicles to speak of and as twisty as anything I've ridden in California. Just a blast. Continue reading
Flying with the West Coast Raven Formation Team
The next few days were kind of like a dream.
Of course there is nothing like a little turbulence or a sharp turn by an expert pilot to wake you up to reality.
Flying in a Cub, meeting a 3 legged wonder dog and Sequoia National Park…the adventure continues
Yup, Tim lives in a very interesting neighbourhood in Fresno. Forget that 3 car garage you've always wanted, these guys have hangers for garages. HANGERS! WITH PLANES IN THEM!! I didn't even know places like this existed.
That's a mighty fine hanger (and plane) you got there.
But before we go anywhere else, you need to meet Tim's dog, Buddy – the wonder dog. Buddy has only 3 legs due to an unfortunate accident, but man is he just the happiest dog ever. Continue reading

July 23 -- Special interests are once again pushing proposals that would stifle any progress
being made to reduce fossil fuel use in new and renovated federal buildings. During a mark-
up of energy efficiency legislation that takes place tomorrow, the oil and gas lobby may
seek to prevent the Department of Energy from implementing a provision from the Energy
Independence and Security Act of 2007 known as Section 433, which requires that federal
buildings be designed to reduce their energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Stakeholders from varying industries have been working with DOE to implement this rule in a
way that is smart, efficient, and effective.
According to the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration, the building
sector accounts for 39 percent of total U.S. energy consumption, more than both the
transportation and industry sectors. The EIA found that buildings are responsible for 71
percent of U.S. electricity consumption; they alone account for almost 10 percent of carbon
dioxide emissions worldwide. >>View Article

Oklahoma City Thunder: Kendrick Perkins still gets fired up to play his old team the Boston Celtics
Only the uniforms are the same. Even Rondo was in street clothes, still recovering from knee surgery.
"That was my first trade," Rondo said. "Some trades are more difficult than others. That trade in particular. Perk was the guy, on road trips, always go get something to eat, always play cards together, we was always together, like brothers.
"The time you spend with each other, you can't really get that time back. So it was difficult. But as you said, it is part of the business."
Perkins said he actually enjoyed playing the faceless Celtics instead of his old friends.
"It felt weird," Gran Torino said. "It felt better. I could compete more. I ain't got to be out there being extra-friendly, because I don't know none of the guys and I don't know the coach.
"The only people I know is the people that still work in the organization. Make it a whole lot easier on my end to go out there and compete and still have that kill mentality."
After the game, Rondo was in the stands, chatting with Perkins' family. And Durant was talking about that between-the-legs pass.
"I think I liked that between-my-legs pass better than my behind-the-back," Durant said. "I tried to bring that one out. He made me look good."
And Perkins didn't even know that the pass sailed between Durant's legs.
"He did that tonight?" Perkins asked. "I don't know. KD been throwing some passes lately. You never know what to expect out him. He been getting cute sometimes, so you never know."
But this you'll know. Celtic green still motivates Perkins.

Youth Observers to the UUA Board of Trustees
Every year prior to General Assembly, the Youth Observers (YO) to the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Board of Trustees are elected. The Youth Observers to the Board is an important, national leadership position held by Unitarian Universalist (UU) youth who are appointed by UU youth in a national election.
We are pleased to announce Caleb Leman and Olivia Calvi as the 2015-2016 Youth Observers. Both Olivia and Caleb have served our faith in numerous leadership roles and they are looking forward to serving Unitarian Universalism in this new role.
Serving UU Youth and Our Faith: Statement from the 2014-2015 Youth Observer
I am very passionate and thankful for Unitarian Universalism because through my experience as a youth and specifically being trained as a chaplain has taught me how to be a better friend, ally and leader, as well as giving me a place where I feel like I can be myself. This has led me to the desire to support Unitarian Universalism in the life of others using the position of youth observer to the Unitarian Universalist Board of Trustees. My experience as a youth adviser to the board of a previous high school I attended and my current position as the co-chair of the Youth Adult Council at my church have re-emphasized my belief that youth and our representation are very important to the life and direction of Unitarian Universalism. This belief inspires me to follow a path of service and leadership within our broader community and would continue to inspire me in the role of observer.
Benji Janapol
2014-2015 Youth Observer to the
Unitarian Universalist Association Board of Trustees
Congregation: Woodinville Unitarian Universalist Church, Woodinville, WA
What's It Like to Be the Youth Observer?: Statement from the 2010-2011 Youth Observer
I had the opportunity to serve Unitarian Universalism in a way I had never before imagined. As the Youth Observer to the UUA Board of Trustees, I had the full responsibilities of any other board member, except voting. This meant I served on committees and working groups, attended calls, and worked individually and in large and small teams. Throughout the year, I was often inspired by the board's efficacy, integrity, knowledge, rigor, and humor. I was also often confused, overly-busy (due to inconvenient timing), and drained. However, I have no regrets about my term as the YO. I have had my mind changed in dramatic ways, and have a much more deep and nuanced understanding of our religious movement. If you are an inspired youth with the confidence to speak to elders, the ability to juggle a heavy workload regardless of competing priorities, and a passion for Unitarian Universalism, I would urge you to run for Youth Observer.
In Ever-Sturdier Faith,
Caleb Raible-Clark
2010-2011 Youth Observer to the
Unitarian Universalist Association Board of Trustees
What's the Youth Observer?: Job Description & Mission Statement
The Youth Observers bring a youth voice to the Unitarian Universalist Association Board of Trustees. The Youth Observers are charged with:
- Participating in the business of the association as full board members, and bearing the same responsibilities and accountabilities as defined for trustees, excluding matters of voting.
- Attending four in person board meetings per year, including General Assembly, and participating in monthly board meetings via the internet, as well as working group assignments;
- Keeping abreast of board issues that affect Unitarian Universalist youth;
- Remaining active and in good standing with a congregation.
The Mission Statement for the Unitarian Universalist Association Board of Trustees is:
"Guided by the vision embodied in the Purposes and Principles of the UUA and in anti-racist imperatives approved by previous Boards, the mission of the Board of Trustees of the UUA includes by is not limited to: Creation of goals for the Association, in cooperation with the General Assembly, administration, and our constituents; Establishment of policies for the Association, guided by those goals; Empowerment of our member congregations through Board leadership in cooperation with the UUA administration, staff, and volunteers; Modeling of UU values in our lives and in our roles as Trustees; Stewardship in developing and managing the resources of the UUA."

When typing two commands after each other, auto-completion opens already after the
\ of the second command.
\nu completer is still open (ok so far)
\nu\ completer is still open and yiels all commands starting with
\. However it should close here and just open again after typing the next char.
Benito van der Zander
isn't is useful to see all commands? i think you often type many commands directly behind each other (e.g. in math mode)
Benito van der Zander
Tim Hoffmann
I'm just indicating a slight inconsistency:
a) typing a single command: the completer opens at the first letter.
b) typing two commands: the completer stays open and shows all commands on the second
c) two commands, but using the completer for the first command: completer closes after the first one and opens at the first letter of the second one.
I think the time the completer opens should not depend on the way of editing.

PHILADELPHIA — Researchers are hopeful that new advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine could one day make a replacement liver from a patient's own cells, or animal muscle tissue that could be cut into steaks without ever being inside a cow. Bioengineers can already make 2D structures out of many kinds of tissue, but one of the major roadblocks to making the jump to 3D is keeping the cells within large structures from suffocating; organs have complicated 3D blood vessel networks that are still impossible to recreate in the laboratory.

Flu Research Should Proceed With Caution, Penn's Joshua Plotkin and Others Urge
PHILADELPHIA — The journal Science is today publishing a paper revealing that highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza, also known as bird flu, can pass from one ferret to another through the air. Publication of these results has been delayed and debated during the last several months for fear that terrorists or others might use information from the study to "weaponize" the flu virus for intentional harm.

Being in hospital is not all bad. You get a bed, people asking you how you feel, and food, albeit sometimes unidentifiable, brought to you on a tray. Friends visit, bringing grapes and Lucozade. Of course, the reason you're there can be a drag. Sickness is a bore and comes with a wide range of symptoms, medications, complications and sad outcomes. But with the comfort of a supportive family, even the blow of becoming a patient can be lessened.
And my own family has been extraordinarily supportive. Later today, I will receive a kidney transplant from my sister, Victoria. It will be the second time a close relative has given me a kidney: the first came from my father in 2001, following a diagnosis of renal failure two years earlier. For my family – as for many others – there was never any question about undergoing major surgery on my behalf; it was just something they wanted to do.
In 1999, I was 27 and at university. As a mature student, I'd signed up to a 3D-model design course, but my mathematical skills were woefully inadequate, and before the end of the first term I was struggling. I knew that completing the degree was unlikely, but didn't want to drop out just because I was finding it difficult; I needed a more ''acceptable'' reason to leave. My answer came in the form of curiously frothy urine.
I noticed my bubbly void one morning and, having always been fairly neurotic, I visited the student doctor, who with a simple dip-test identified high levels of protein. He explained that it could be a sign of kidney problems and that I would require a biopsy, in which a small sample of kidney tissue would be removed for analysis.
Some days later, the diagnosis was confirmed. I had the catchily named focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a scarring of the blood vessels (glomeruli) that filter the blood of waste fluids as it passes through the kidneys. FSGS is a chronic illness that can lead to end-stage renal failure; as in my case, the cause is often unknown and there was no cure, just a handful of drugs a day to reduce my blood pressure and a prediction that I would need a transplant or dialysis in about two years. I felt I now had a valid reason to call it a day on 3D-model design.
It was, of course, devastating news. I knew as much about kidneys as I did 3D models, and I was terrified. What I did know was that the wait for a suitably matched cadaveric kidney (from someone who has recently died) was, on average, three to four years. Dialysis seemed inevitable.
For my parents, Tim and Lesley, however, there was only one answer, and dialysis wasn't it. They were tissue-typed and cross-matched to ascertain if one of them would be suitable as a donor. My father proved to be the better match.
I wasn't a parent then and I didn't know what it meant to have a child. I didn't want my dad to go through major surgery, with all its risks of complications, for me. Also, I was worried that should any subsequent problems arise, he wouldn't have a second kidney to rely on. But for my dad, a 60-year-old retired underwriter at Lloyd's, it was a no-brainer: he was my father, I was his son and he would give me a kidney when the time came.
Two years later, as the doctors had predicted, my own kidneys had pretty much run out of puff. Toxins were building up in my blood, making me increasingly unwell. By this time, despite feeling guilty about putting my dad through surgery, I was immensely relieved to have an option other than dialysis, with all its life-changing restrictions.
In autumn 2001, after a final contemplative walk along the river, my father and I were admitted to Guy's Hospital, London, for the scheduled transplant of his left kidney, a procedure that lasted about five hours. It was considerably more invasive for my dad, resulting in a scar running from his stomach to almost the middle of his back.
Unfortunately, the operation was not entirely successful. Complications included a loss of blood supply to the newly transplanted kidney, and recurring episodes of rejection, in which the body's immune system destroys transplanted tissue. At that time, the average transplant lasted 13 years. Now, due to improved matching protocols and drug therapies, it is more like 25, and some go on for longer still. To be told five days after the operation that Dad's kidney might only last a matter of months was devastating, especially for my father, who felt as if he were to blame.
Yet incredibly, even after consistently depressing opinions from every nephrology consultant and doctor we saw, the little organ that nobody ever thought would succeed has carried on working for another 13 years. My frequent blood tests always suggested it was on the verge of failure and dialysis was imminent, but somehow it would suddenly improve, just a little bit, and for a while everyone would stop looking so nervous. My dad's kidney did sterling work, seeing off all manner of viral, bacterial and immune system onslaughts, and I feel exceptionally fortunate to have had such a good run with it.
Still, today was always coming, but as Dad's kidney finally runs out of steam, I'm not preparing for dialysis but for another transplant. This time the kidney is coming from my sister. From day one of my diagnosis, Victoria had said she would donate, if she proved a good match. But at the time, with her children still so young – Kitty was eight, Louisa four and her son Barnaby only 12 weeks old – the risks were considered too great.
Second time around, it's not so daunting for me. For Victoria, it's scary and unknown, and I remember what that feels like. We have always been close, but I am overwhelmed by her decision and honoured to be her brother.
It sounds contrived, but transplant really is the gift of life. And that is what my father and sister have given me; a second and third chance to live a relatively normal life. It's not normal, of course: there are dietary restrictions, increased potential for other serious illness, and a lifetime of immunosuppressant drugs. But the restriction, inconvenience and propensity to illness that comes with dialysis makes all that worthwhile.
I feel extremely lucky. I had a fantastic childhood, surrounded by happiness and security. As a teenager I, like most, had periods of frustration, anger and melancholy leading to bad poetry, but fundamentally I was very secure. And I still am today; my parents still love me and I have a wonderful big sister, four years my elder, who is also my best friend.
Over the years, I've been able to make certain assumptions about my family and know how they will react to situations both good and bad. But their unquestioning decision, without hesitation, to donate was humbling, and I'm wholly indebted to them for their support throughout my illness.
In a way, although what my dad and my sister have done is an unbelievable and phenomenal act of love, I also now take it for granted. And that's because I would have done exactly the same thing for my sister, my wife, my children (Milo, five, and Elliot, two) and my parents. It's just family.

The trailer backup assist system also includes a steering input device movable between a plurality of successive positions that each provide an incremental change to a desired curvature of the trailer. In addition, the trailer backup assist system includes a controller that generates a steering command for the vehicle to guide the trailer on the desired curvature based on the sensed hitch angle and a kinematic relationship with the trailer. The incremental change is substantially equal for a population of trailers to normalize control of the desired curvature.
|TRAILER IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM FOR TRAILER BACKUP ASSIST - A system and method for configuring a trailer backup assist system. The system and method communicates predetermined trailer parameters, which are embedded on a tag attached to the trailer, to a controller in the trailer backup assist system.

John Hancock ObservatoryRead MoreIf 360 CHICAGO—the John Hancock observation deck—had a baseball card, the stats on the back would be pretty impressive: it's perched 1,000 feet above the Magnificent Mile on the 94th floor, and on clear days, visibility stretches up to 50 miles. With the Magnificent Mile bustling below and Lake Michigan sprawling endlessly nearby, the popular attraction provides some of the best views in the country according to Travel and Leisure magazine. But stunning vistas and the chance to witness the change on the lake when its freezing aren't the only reasons to visit. In 2014, 360 Chicago opened TILT, an attraction that brings brave guests face to face with a moving set of windows that angle 30 degrees downward for a spine-tingling glimpse of the streets below. Plus, interactive multimedia stations in seven languages share loads of information about the city and its architecture.875 N Michigan Ave.Chicago, IL US
Publicis Hawkeye (Urbanathlon)Read MoreSponsored by Men's Health, the coed Urbanathlon race and festival is a fitting representation of the magazine's "work hard, play hard" mentality. Indeed, the courses are hard work. Whether competitors run the 3- to 5-mile sprint course or the 10- to 11-mile classic course, occasional obstacles, such as monkey bars, stairs, tires, barricades, and stacks of unfinished tax returns, stand in their way. But don't be too intimidated—Urbanathlon has created 4- and 12-week training plans to help participants get in shape for the race. All the hard work will pay off though, thanks in part to a post-race party with DJ sets, refreshments, and swag from sponsors. Plus, competitors will have the opportunity to donate to the Challenged Athletes Foundation upon registration or with the $15 suggested donation for hair trims at the Paul Mitchell tent.1410 S Museum Campus Dr.Chicago, IL US
Men's Health URBANATHLONRead MoreChicago, New York, and San Francisco—three of the biggest cities in the United States are the only cities fit for the sprawling brawl of the Men's Health Urbanathlon. Like a sightseeing tour where heavy breathing is apropos, the Urbanathlon charters more than 10 miles of each city's terrain, embarking from landmarks such as Chicago's Soldier Field, New York's Citi Field, and San Francisco's AT&T Park. From there, dry bibs become perspiration sponges as contestants vie for the finish line. Along the way, a series of daunting obstacles—such as police and tire barricades, monkey bars, hurdles, and stair climbs—test racers' mettle, before a finish-line blowout sends them hurdling taxi cabs and scaling city buses. Deservedly exhausted contestants are then treated to a post-race party full of refreshing drinks and grub from local food trucks, DJs spinning dance music for wobbly legs, and free gifts from Men's Health's stable of sponsors.1410 S. Museum Campus Dr.Chicago, IL US
Tandem Obstacle RaceRead MoreThere are 11 challenges that stand between you and the finish line at Tandem Obstacle Race. Before gaining victory, competitors must scale walls up to 11 feet high, traverse wobbly platforms, and conquer one final challenge that won't even be revealed until the day of the event. You might think of them as daunting tasks, but luckily Tandem Obstacle Race doesn't expect anyone to go it alone. As a rule, the race requires each man or woman have a partner—someone who can carry them over a pit of water or hold a spinning log steady while the other person crosses. To accommodate everyone, the race splits into three difficulty levels: Challenge (hard), Fierce (harder), and Legend (hardest). Spectators may also attend for free, and they have a clear view of each of the obstacles.1965 West Pershing RoadChicago, IL US
Premium Luxury RentalsRead MorePremium Luxury Rentals doesn't simply provide customers with the keys to exotic cars and jet . The staff gives people the opportunity to briefly escape from everyday routines and experience an entirely different sort of lifestyle. In addition to letting patrons slide behind the wheel of a Mercedes or Bentley, Premium Luxury Rentals also gives guests the opportunity to call a condo home until the building turns back into a pumpkin at midnight. Likewise, helicopter rides and chauffeured trips around the city allow passengers to sit back and enjoy an elegant outing. The selection of activities changes depending on the season: jet-ski rentals and rock-climbing trips are available during the summer; and ski trips and snowball-packing workshops are offered each winter.6300 South Lake Shore DriveChicago, IL US
Dry Clean Super SaverRead MoreSince 1988, the deal-hunters at Dry Clean Super Saver have connected customers with a trustworthy network of dry-cleaning and automotive-repair technicians. Armed with easy-to-use punch cards, clients save huge amounts money on dry cleaning and automotive maintenance, the two costliest household expenses after plumbing repair and poltergeist removal. The association of participating cleaners and garages stretches across the country, ensuring that cardholders can remove stains from a dress shirt or change an oil filter wherever they happen to be.600 West Chicago AvenueChicago, IL US

Review collected in partnership with this hotel
Large rooms! Very nicely decorated and spaciuos, love that! Very hard to find though...
Lovely breakfast. You need to have a car and a god GPS;)
The manager was very friendly and helpful, we had booked to stay more nights but left earlier, without any trouble at all, high points for flexability👍🏻
Thoroughly enjoyed my week-long stay over Easter! ☺ Very quiet, peaceful environment and surroundings. Breakfast the best, very fresh and tasteful. Staff very friendly and helpful. Slept like a log! ☺
Fabulous location. Mark, the houseman will cook you a wonderful breakfast and is very helpful as is Karen the manageress. Thoroughly recommend this guesthouse for a long weekend or short break in Cape Town.
We had a great stay at 5 options, family of 4. Warm welcome from Kate and Mark. Breakfast is fabulous. Very nice family rooms (two rooms with small kitchenette). Pool is small but nice. Very nice view through big windows in the rooms towards the table mountain. Blauberg is 30min from Waterfront, but waterfront is no place spend most of...
Stayed in this Guest House for our Anniversary. Yellow Rose Room was lovely and comfortable. We had a very comfortable bed. Karen was very friendly and helpful. No English tea in our room nor at breakfast but not the end of the world.... Little far from the beach, had to use the car to get to everything. Our overall stay...
No parking for my vehicle. Webpage indicate that all rooms have either a mountain or see view or both, which was not the case with my room and I was very disappointed. Breakfast was good. No mirror near an electric point where I could blow dry my hair.

2. Thanks for the cutlery in the room - a teaspoon would help!
3. Rooibos tea please
4. I forgot my razor at home ... you might consider a disposable one in the bathroom..
A wonderful guesthouse -...
Of all the places I've stayed at, the warmest most pleasant welcome I've ever received was at 5 Options Guest House. Both the owner and the manager were super friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, extremely clean and comfortable. I slept so peacefully which is for me noteworthy as I've always had difficulty sleeping in strange places. The breakfast...
We had a warm welcome, lovely view from room, nice swimming pool and secure parking. Room is a bit dated and the furnishings very dark, towels very hard. We were told no cooked breakfast as new year's day on arrival night prior which was fine. When we came down for breakfast only cereals, tea and coffee. Manager did come out...
Hi Jan and Chris
I must apologise for the way things were handled on New Year's Day. Unfotunately I was ill with the bug that has hit Cape Town, but was informed of the problems on New Year's Day with the breakfast. Our Houseman had totally misunderstood the concept of Continental Breakfast and failed to put out the croissants, muffins,...
