text: I haven't been able to determine any noticeable difference between the two..they both take a super sharp edge easily (feels very smooth on the stones) and hold it almost as long as the HD I used to have. I only had to sharpen my HD about once every two weeks (poly boards/ much prep) and I'd say I'll have to sharpen the carbons every 10 days or so. Not a huge difference and that's taking into account my desire to have the edge perform close to 100%...if I was not as so picky, I could prob. double the time between sharpening on the stones (taking into account regular honing).

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Jodi Head designs guitar straps.
Sounds simple enough, but how is it that her wares – created in a dungeon-like basement workshop in Manhattan – have found their way around the shoulders of musicians like David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Lenny Kravitz, Madonna, Kid Rock and too many others to name?
Head says it's a combination of quality, networking and word of mouth among talented musicians. "I love making products for artists, I love seeing my products on guitar players whether they're famous or not so famous," says Head, seated outside a small Manhattan café on a warm November day, her tattoos creeping out onto her hands from under her long sleeves (her body is a canvas for quite a few ink decorations).
From her workshop she continues to pump out new lines of product every year, selling online and from major music retailers Guitar Center, Musicians Friend and Sam ash, pulling in almost $500,000 a year on 50% margins. Meanwhile, she says she's looking to make a change, possibly seeking a partnership with another company.
Head, who is 50, first turned her crafts into business while still in her native Philadelphia, making earrings in the early 1980s while attending Moore College of Art & Design. She sold her pieces on South Street and had a knack for getting them onto rock stars, including The Vels and The Bangles. Head's earrings can be seen in The Bangles music video, "If She Knew What She Wants." "I was going to all the rock clubs," says Head. "I was going to the Hot Club and hanging out on South Street and part of the big music scene there."
Seeing musicians wearing her gear onstage taught Head a valuable lesson about how impactful product placement can be. "If you have that artist wearing your stuff, someone's going to say 'where did you get that?'…if you have a really good, viable product, you can get to them," she explained.
Head moved to New York circa 1983 to continue making earrings with designer David Spada but soon became disinterested and shifted focus, taking inspiration from her grandmother—a former Ziegfeld Theatre dancer. "I have these photos hanging up in my apartment of her in outfits and little tops." This led to several years as a designer of bustiers and beaded bras that were featured in Vogue Magazine on several occasions in the mid 1980s.
But designing niche couture didn't pay very well, even if she did wind up making pieces for Sandra Bernhard and Madonna, selling her wares at Bergdorf Goodman and providing apparel for movies (see Meg Ryan's bra in Joe Versus the Volcano). "I couldn't really command the same kind of prices that Dolce & Gabbana could command."
While developing her fashion she worked several gigs as a bartender in Manhattan, including a stint at Exterminator Chili (she began designing full time around 1998). "At that time The Beastie Boys would come in, Rick Rubin—it was a different scene there," Head recollects. "People that were involved in music were hanging out and it was just filled with art and excitement."
Head's transition to guitar straps came in the early 1990s through friendships with musicians. "I've always had guitar player friends and at the time a friend of mine said, 'well, you're not going to bead these bustiers, why don't you hand-bead me a guitar strap?'"
Remembering how powerful a celebrity endorsement can be, Head made a point of handing out straps to notable musicians. The list of her clients contains names like Melissa Etheridge, Robert Plant, Richie Sambora, Keith Richards, Bob Weir and Emmylou Harris.
Around 1996 Head committed to the middle-of-the-road to high-end market, leaving the bargain product to other companies. This meant declining orders that amounted to almost half her revenue. She just couldn't get used to the idea of spending the majority of her time pumping out low quality straps for small margins. "It wasn't fulfilling for me," she says.
Head did not throw out the low end completely -- lowest priced units start at around $15 -- but her focus is squarely on higher end designs which retail for up to $200. Custom pieces can sell for up to $4,000 and she produces between 20,000 and 30,000 straps per year, total. Other products include wallets, belts, purses, yoga mats and even dog collars (her constant companion is a tiny pooch name R.J. Cash, who she refers to as the company's CEO).
All are put together by Head, a full time assistant and sometimes two sewers she hires, giving her precious little time to design—a reality she says she won't abide. "I just feel that I would like to be doing more of my beaded work, whether it's beaded bustiers or beaded guitar straps," she says. "To do that is such beautiful artwork."

I used mostly spirit gems last season, but it depends what you played, too. 2on2 and RBG you didn't have too much mana problems. In 2on2 you could heal mana efficient and in RBG you could generate 20 mana tea before the start - and still can, I don't know why blizzard doesn't fix this.
3on3 you really had mana problems, because you were like 75% cced and couldn't heal mana efficient inbetween cc chains. Still the same in 5.2. But then again why would you play MW in 3on3. It's not that you can't achieve a decent rating, but you have to basically outplay the enemy team every time to win. And with how the game evolved (just spamming ccs and cds) there is not as much room as there used to be. So you can just flat out add around 200 rating if your team played with any other healer.

Did I start meds too soon?Mar 17, 2011 I developed acute retroviral syndrome and became very ill for 2 weeks; couldn't work and had to go to ER 3 times. I had my PCR checked during illness and was >10million and CD4 330. Saw MD 2 weeks after becoming ill and was started on meds. Reasons I was started were age 44, in long-term relationship, high VL and because I became so ill and was still not well 2 weeks after becoming ill. Was I started too soon? 10 weeks after starting VL undetectable and CD4 500. Thank you. |
Response from Dr. YoungHello and thanks for your post. While there are a lot of reasons to start or thoughts (or second thoughts) about when to start, I think that you had many good reasons to start treatment when you did. Indeed, if your CD4 count after starting was only 500, that alone (never mind all the other reasons you listed) would meet my criteria for recommending initiating treatment. I hope that helps, BY | ||||||||||

Thanks for the ideas, couple of questions, I thought about the hitch rack angle too but was wondering if you ever have any issues in covering the bottom of the wingers in mud. I certainly like the vertical wingers for the sake of not hanging them up on trees and the stability of the bottom rest with the top support, and I really like the additional storage for hides etc. as well as the utility of being able to take it off quickly for the utility. I am considering adding a back rack (haven't decided on flat or drop) but really trying to figure out the best way to haul wingers. I'd really like to see a larger pic of the rack if you get a chance.
Purpledawg its a 2 inch receiver hitch. Just pull the pin to remove rack.
Marsh Mule the wingers don't get muddy but the holding blind tubes will catch mud coming off tires.
I use a side x side with a treestand rack on the back for the wingers. Ducks in 5 gallon buckets in the cargo area.
L Spann
Lonnie, What is a tree stand rack?
Lonnie, how do those work out for you, do you have to strap them around the ends?
Bill, here you go...http://www.basspro.com/ATV-Treestand...product/49301/
Been using a tree stand carrier ( http://www.powersportparts.net/Profe..._p/4468123.htm ) to transport 4 wingers - installed easily, no problems with it after using it for almost a year, the wingers sit high enough to avoid the mud being slung by the tires, and they are held securely while trailering the ATV.
OK thanks, but on a side by side where do you attach it? On the ROPS right behind seats?

So remember that one time Shakira angered a bunch of feminists by saying her boyfriend Gerard Pique wouldn't let her make music videos with other guys? Turns out she was just joking!
Shakira said in a March interview that Pique was "very territorial," and "he no longer lets me do videos with men … I have to do them with women." But the pop star and "Voice" coach took to Facebook on Thursday (April 3) to clear up some confusion about her comments.
"Hey guys — I recently said in some interviews that my man could be territorial," Shakira writes. "For the record, I was being humorous and now I see that some press took it very literally! The reality is that we have a beautiful relationship of mutual trust, and jealousy has never been an issue on either side. Next time I promise, I'll be more careful when attempting to use my sense of humor, as clearly it can be easily misinterpreted!"
So there you have it — Shakira can still make some sexy music videos with men, if she gets tired of rolling around with Rihanna.

Beyonce Bought Jay-Z $2 Million Sports Car
Beyonce Knowles gave husband Jay-Z a speedy treat for his birthday last week - the singer reportedly bought him a $2 million sports car. The hip-hop mogul turned 41 on December 4 and the "Halo" hitmaker treated her beau to a Bugatti Veyron to mark the occasion.
Beyonce reportedly had to wait a full year after ordering the Grand Sport edition because of the attention to detail carmakers spend on the vehicle, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper. The Veyron can reach 255 miles-per-hour (410 kilometres-per-hour) and accelerates from zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds.
But the expensive gift won't have made much of a dent in the "Crazy In Love" hitmaker's bank account - Forbes magazine estimates the superstar, who wed Jay-Z in 2008, earned a total of $89 million in the 12 months to November 2010.

Inside the Kitchen
A great thing about summer cooking is that can you enjoy fresh air while you cook outside on the grill. Sometimes cooking meat on the grill can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be.
Here are some tips for grilling meat:
- Preheat your grill about 20 minutes before you start cooking to make sure it reaches the right temperature.
- Don't put cold meat on the grill. Be sure to let your meat get to room temperature before it goes on the grill.
- Flip your burgers and other meats only once during cooking. Usually about 7-9 minutes on each side.
- Don't squish your meat! You will drain it of its juices and flavors.
- Once your meat is finished on the grill, let it rest on a clean platter for about 10 minutes, tented with foil, so juices can redistribute evenly.
- If you are grilling fish, choose fillets that are even in thickness so they cook evenly. Fish can cook really quickly, so keep a close eye on them.
- When grilling chicken, use indirect heat for bone-in breasts, legs, or thighs and direct heat for boneless breasts, legs, or thighs.
Are you guilty of over flipping or squishing meat on the grill? Are there any tips for grilling meat that you would add?

Chapter VIII
UNFERTH, THE SON of Ecglaf who sat at the feet of the Scylding's lord, spoke quarrelsome words. The quest of Beowulf, that noble mariner, galled him greatly, for he always begrudged other men who might achieve more fame under heaven than he himself. "Are you that Beowulf, Breca's rival, who strove with him in swimming the open sea, pridefully braving the floods and foolishly risking your lives in the deep waters? Nor could any friend or foe dissuade you from swimming the dangerous main. You covered the ocean tides with your arms, measuring the sea-streets with strained hands, and swam over the waters while buffeted about by the ocean's roll. You strove in the sea-realm for seven nights, and he bested you in swimming and covered more of the main. Then at the morning's tide the swells cast him on the shores of the Heathoram people, whence he made for the dear home of his own beloved liegemen, the fair land of the Brondings, where he ruled his folk's towns and treasures. In triumph over you, Beanstan's son achieved his boast. I anticipate worse luck for your adventure—though you've braved the blows of battle in grim struggle—if you wait through the night of Grendel's approach!"
Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow, spoke: "What mighty things you've just said of Breca and his triumph, my dear Unferth, while you're drunk with beer! I say in truth that I have proved more might in the sea than any other man, and more endurance in the ocean. The two of us had talked in our youth and bragged—we were still mere boys then—that we would risk our lives far out at sea, and so we did it. We held drawn blades in our hands as we swam along, hoping to guard ourselves against the whale-beasts. He could not float any farther over the waters' flood than I, nor hasten more over the billows; and neither could I abandon him. The two of us stayed together on the sea for five nights until the flood parted us, and churning waves, chilly weather, the dark night, and a fierce northern wind rushed upon us, and the waves were rough. The wrath of the sea-fish was stirred, and my coat of mail, hard and hand-linked, availed me much protection against the monsters—the battle-vest was bound to my breast and decorated with gold. A fierce creature held me firm and pulled me to the bottom with the strongest grip. Nevertheless, it was granted to me that I pierce the monster with my sword point; by my hand and battle-blade was the giant sea-beast conquered.

"Young people were living in cars and under the bridges," says Don McQueen, recalling the 1960s in Big Sur, the 90-mile stretch of California coast where the Santa Lucia Mountains plunge into the Pacific Ocean south of Monterey. "Once, I saw smoke coming from a field just north of here and went up to find two dozen hippies, their naked kids running around, and fires going. Fire's always a danger in Big Sur." McQueen, 80, is a commanding figure—6-foot-8, size 15 boots. "Some of the newcomers were worthless," he adds, "but some were OK. We were so stuck in the mud around here. The new people shook things up."
From This Story
Related Content
I first traveled to Big Sur in the fall of 1963, eager to explore its remote recesses, soon after I began a graduate program at Stanford University. I remember being dazzled by the coastal region's stunning near-verticality. It seemed a mythic landscape of impenetrable chaparral and massive redwoods stitched to headlands plunging into an impossibly blue ocean. Against this backdrop, ordinary concerns seemed to pale; to live here was to view the world through a unique lens of beauty and peril.
Scattered across the land were random clusters of wooden cottages, a few stores and campgrounds, a couple of bars and a gas station or two. The Los Padres National Forest, which includes much of the 6,000-foot-high Santa Lucia Range, edged the highway, where shaggy figures not yet labeled as countercultural stood on the roadside, hooking their thumbs in clear, dry air. At the time, Big Sur still rested in a happy sociological trough between the demise of the Beat Generation and the advent, in 1967, of San Francisco's Summer of Love, a watershed moment that would bring thousands of young people west.
In the intervening years, I returned to Big Sur several times, drawn by the physical beauty and the inspirational jolt that the first glimpse always provides. The place remains for me freighted with as much mystery as reality, intimately associated with the era that McQueen invokes.
McQueen's father, Allen, was a maintenance supervisor for the coast highway built here in the late '30s. Don constructed his own tourist campground along the same road in the '50s. "A few hippies thought they could make a living just by breaking into houses," he tells me, adding that a rougher element, some on motorcycles, hung out in the Redwood Lodge just up the road. "That place had a hard dope problem, with fights. I told the owner I'd clear it out if he wanted." McQueen admits to throwing "some people through windows" and to putting two troublemakers in a car, breaking the vehicle's distributor cap with a hammer, "so they couldn't start the engine," and shoving them downhill in the direction of Carmel, 26 miles to the north.
Today, the Redwood Lodge has long since been reborn as Fernwood, still a bar, but decidedly more upscale and friendlier. Big Sur's landscape, however, remains unchanged, wild country that has impressed—or intimidated—visitors since the arrival of the Spanish more than 400 years ago. Early seafarers stayed clear of the rock-toothed el país grande del sur (big country of the south), described in 1542 by the explorer Juan Cabrillo: "There are mountains which seem to reach the heavens, and the sea beats on them....It appears as though they would fall on the ships."
In 1770, the Spanish established a presidio and missionary headquarters in Monterey, capital of Alta (Upper) California, and soon founded a mission in Carmel. There, Father Junípero Serra set about enslaving and converting the coastal tribes who lived close by and any Indians who could be enticed from the inner reaches of inhospitable "El Sur."
In the aftermath of the Mexican-American War (1846-48), Mexico ceded California to the United States. In those early years, homesteaders could make a good living by felling redwoods—dangerous work in the steep canyons—and by harvesting tan oaks, used in the hide-tanning process. Supplies arrived in small steam vessels, braving a coast with little safe anchorage; timber went out the same way. The tiny population inhabiting the coast south of Monterey remained scattered.
Despite the fact that Big Sur's lone existing dirt track was hazardous and often washed out in rains or mudslides, a hardy few managed to pass this way. They included homesteaders; tourists who stayed in roughhewed "resorts," run by families like the Pfeiffers, descendants of the original 19th-century settlers; and, in the '20s and '30s, what might be called a new creative class. Among them was the poet Robinson Jeffers, an East Coast transplant who came to Big Sur in 1914 and built two stone houses on a wild spit of land near Carmel, today a National Historic Site. Jeffers, who would be thought of as the poet laureate of the environmental movement, called Big Sur "the noblest thing I have ever seen."
Helmuth Deetjen, the son of a deacon in Bremen, Germany, and a Norwegian mother, arrived in Big Sur sometime around 1936, where he bought 60 acres in Castro Canyon and built a small compound that included a house, antiques store and inn. A student of music, philosophy, art and politics, Deetjen had attended Germany's University of Heidelberg, where one of his classmates was an art student named Adolf Hitler. (Deetjen claimed that his last words to Hitler were, "You just don't understand the American cowboy," and fled Europe because he knew what Hitler was capable of.) Deetjen imported a quirky combination of sophistication and hominess to Big Sur, reflected in his quaint Scandinavian-style cottages, constructed of native redwood.

1.1: Describing Patterns
Summer Hiking
Kelly is very excited for summer vacation. She has been accepted into a Teen Wilderness program and will be spending four weeks hiking, camping and learning wilderness skills in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. There are a bunch of other students who will be going too. Kelly hasn't met them yet.
In two weeks there will be a pre-trip meeting. At the pre-trip meeting, Kelly will meet the other kids in the program and learn specifics about the summer. In the meantime, Kelly is so excited that she is counting the days. To help her pass the time, her Mom bought her a couple of books about hiking and nature.
One of the books talks all about nature and unique features found in nature. One of the chapters in the book talks about patterns in nature. Kelly is fascinated.
"Listen to this," she tells her friend Sara. "There are patterns on leaves and trees and flowers. In fact, according to this, the way a tree divides into branches follows a specific pattern."
"That is cool," Sara says. "Do you think it's really true?"
"We could go and check it out," Kelly suggests.
The girls decide to investigate. On a piece of paper Kelly writes the following pattern.
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13....
When the girls arrive at the park, they sit down in front of one of the trees. Kelly reads the following information.
"This pattern in nature is called the Fibonacci pattern after an Italian mathematician. He discovered that many things in nature follow this pattern of numbers."
"Very interesting, but how does it apply to trees?" Sara asked.
As the girls investigate patterns in trees, it is your turn to learn about patterns in Algebra. Kelly and Sara are going to discover patterns found in nature. Patterns in nature are mathematical and there are many of them. In this Concept you will learn about mathematical patterns as you explore thinking algebraically. At the end of the Concept we will return to Kelly and Sara and discover what they learned about patterns in nature.
What You Will Learn
By the end of this lesson you will be able to demonstrate the following skills.
- Recognize and describe numerical patterns by finding a rule.
- Extend numerical patterns.
- Recognize and describe visual or geometric patterns.
- Extend a visual or geometric pattern.
- Interpolate missing elements of numerical, visual or geometric patterns.

I. Recognize and Describe Numerical Patterns by Finding a Rule
We see patterns all around us each and every day. We see them on soccer balls, in fabric, in the way different gardens are designed, even our day to day lives can follow a pattern. Recognizing patterns is second nature to us and feels very natural.
In primary grades, you learned to count by \begin{align*}2s, 3s, 4s, 5s,\end{align*} etc. This type of counting involves counting in patterns. In fact, counting in this way was probably so natural that you didn't even realize how simple it was when you were doing it.
This chapter is about algebraic thinking. We could say that algebraic thinking is about learning to think mathematically. One of the keys to algebraic thinking comes from recognizing and understanding patterns. As you learn more advanced mathematics, patterns are going to become more and more useful. Let's discuss two types of patterns: numerical patterns and geometric patterns.
Numerical patterns use numbers and geometric patterns use visual shapes and figures. Both are useful and this lesson will teach you about both of them.
Let's begin with numerical patterns.
What is a numerical pattern?
A numerical pattern is a sequence of numbers that uses a formula or rule to generate a sequence.
Numerical patterns can be organized in a couple of different ways.
- When numbers in a pattern get larger as the sequence continues, they are in an ascending pattern.
- When numbers in a pattern get smaller as the sequence continues, they are in a descending pattern.
Every pattern has a sequence that has been created based on a pattern rule. Examining the relationship between the numbers in a pattern can help us to determine the rule used by the pattern. Pattern rules can use one or more mathematical operations to describe the relationship.
Looking for pattern rules is a lot like being a detective! You have to use your detective skills to decipher the relationship between the numbers. Once you have figured out the relationship between the numbers, you can work on expressing this relationship in the form of a rule.
Let's look at an example.
Find the pattern rule in the following sequence: 243, 81, 27, 9.
Alright math detectives, get ready. We need to figure out how each of these numbers is related to the others. There is a way that they are related, we just have to figure out how.
First we can take an overview of the numbers. All the numbers are odd and all have 9 as a factor. The numbers get smaller in value as the sequence continues, so this is a descending pattern.
Think about this. The pattern is descending-the numbers get smaller. We need to figure out which operation is involved in the pattern rule.
Which operations help us in making numbers smaller?
Subtraction and division help us to make numbers smaller. This tells us that subtraction or division is likely involved in the pattern rule.
Next we have to dive a little farther into the process of figuring out the rule.
Let's start with the smaller numbers.
What is the relationship between 27 and 9?
Nine is a factor of 27 because \begin{align*}9 \times 3 = 27\end{align*}.
But we are looking for division or subtraction here.
Since \begin{align*}9 \times 3 = 27\end{align*}, we know that \begin{align*}27 \div 3 = 9\end{align*}
A possible pattern rule is \begin{align*}\div \ 3\end{align*}.
How can we test it out to be sure that this is the correct pattern rule?
To test it out, we have to be sure that it works for all of the other numbers in the pattern. Let's look at the pattern again.
\begin{align*}&243, 81, 27, 9\\ &243 \div 3 = 81\\ &81 \div 3 = 27\\ &27 \div 3 = 9\end{align*}
The pattern works! Our pattern rule is \begin{align*}\div \ 3\end{align*}.
That pattern was a descending pattern. Now let's look at an ascending pattern.
Find the pattern rule in the following sequence: 1, 3, 11, 43.
First we take an overview of the numbers. All the numbers are odd and this is an ascending pattern. Therefore, addition and/or multiplication are operations involved in the pattern rule because that is the way we increase numbers in mathematics.
Now let's compare the first and second number.
What is the relationship between 1 and 3?
\begin{align*}1 + 2 = 3\end{align*}, so +2 is a possible pattern rule, but the jump between the second number (3) and the third number (11) is much larger than +2. Such a large jump indicates that multiplication must be one of the operations in the pattern rule.
How can we figure out how multiplication is used in the pattern rule?
To do this, we look at the relationship between the second and third number. The third number (11) is close to 9 and 12, both of which have relationships with the second number (3), \begin{align*}3 \times 3 = 9\end{align*} and \begin{align*}3 \times 4 = 12\end{align*}. This means that the pattern rule could either be \begin{align*}(\times \ 3 + 2)\end{align*} or \begin{align*}(\times \ 4 - 1)\end{align*}.
When we try out both rules with the list, we see that \begin{align*}\times \ 4 - 1\end{align*} is the correct pattern rule.
1A. Lesson Exercises
Practice figuring out pattern rules. Decipher each rule and write it in words.
- 5, 8, 11, 14
- 20, 10, 5, 2.5
- 4, 7, 13, 25, 49
Take a few minutes to check your work with a peer.
II. Extend Numerical Patterns
Once you have figured out a pattern rule it is easy to use that rule to extend the pattern. Extending a pattern involves writing the numbers that come next in the pattern according to the rule.
Let's look at an example.
Find the next term in the following pattern: 3, 6, 9, 12, ____
First, notice that this is an ascending pattern meaning that it will involve addition, multiplication or both.
What is the relationship between these numbers? How were they increased?
If you think about this question, you can see that each number was increased by adding three.
To extend the pattern, we simply add three to the last number in the sequence.
\begin{align*}12 + 3 = 15\end{align*}
Our answer is 15.
Sometimes, you need to extend rule by looking far out into the future. Let's look at an example of this.
What is the seventh number in the sequence: 1, 3, 9, 27, ____
First, let's figure out the rule. This is an ascending sequence so it uses addition, multiplication or both. The rule in this case is \begin{align*}\times \ 3\end{align*}.
Next we can write out the sequence until we get to the seventh number.
1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729, 2187
Our answer is 2187.
1B. Lesson Exercises
Figure out the pattern rule for each sequence and then extend the pattern two terms.
- 9, 17, 33, ___, ___
- 3, 10, 31, ___, ___
Check your work. What rule did you write for each pattern? Did your partner write the same rule?
III. Recognize and Describe Visual or Geometric Patterns
Visual or geometric patterns are similar to numerical patterns in the sense that the follow a rule. Some geometric patterns are repeating patterns. Repeating patterns have a pattern unit which repeats. Other geometric patterns, much like numerical patterns, change position, increase, or decrease following a pattern rule or formula.
Look at the pattern below. What is the pattern unit?
Let's begin by naming the shapes. The shapes follow this order: circle, square, triangle, triangle, circle, square. To find the pattern unit, we have to find the unit which repeats.
Where do you begin to notice that the pattern is repeating?
In this case, the pattern unit is circle, square, triangle, triangle
You can see repeating patterns all around you. The tiling of a floor is a repeated pattern. Wallpaper is often designed in a repeating pattern as well.
What happens when a visual pattern doesn't repeat? When it is created by some other rule?
When this happens, you have to pull out your detective skills once again. You will have to figure out the rule. How did the visual images change? What rule can you write to describe the change? Let's look at an example.
Look at the pattern below. What is the pattern rule?
We can see that this is not a repeating pattern because no two shapes repeat in the same position. Therefore, we need to look for a pattern rule. Like with numerical patterns, we compare the shapes to determine how they change. All the shapes are right triangles. In the first figure, the right angle is in the bottom left. In the second shape, the right angle has changed to the top left. In the third shape, the right angle has changed to the top right.
In this pattern, the right angle is moving clockwise by 90 degrees each time. This is our pattern rule.
1C. Lesson Exercises
Practice examining visual or geometric patterns. Explain how the pattern unit repeats or write a pattern rule for each pattern.
Take a few minutes to check your answers with a friend.
IV. Extend Visual or Geometric Patterns
Once you figure out how the pattern unit is repeating or what the rule is to the geometric pattern, you can extend the pattern according to this information.
How many triangles will be in the next step of this pattern?
How does this geometric pattern change? To figure this out, we have to look at each figure as if it is a step in the pattern. The first step has one triangle. The second step has four triangles. The third step has nine triangles.
We can write the pattern as: 1, 4, 9
Because this pattern does not change in a systematic way, we can't write a rule for it. We can see that each step increases by two more than the previous step.
The first step adds 3 to get the second step.
The second step adds 5 to get the third step.
The third step will add two more which is 7.
There are 9 triangles in the third step, \begin{align*}9 + 7 = 16\end{align*}. There will be 16 triangles in the fourth step.
Practice extending the following pattern. Express how the pattern is changing. Write the number of images in the next step of the pattern. Then draw the next step of the pattern.
Take a few minutes to check your work with a neighbor. This question should have three parts to the answer. Be sure that you have all three parts written down.
V. Interpolate Missing Elements of Numerical, Visual or Geometric Patterns
If we know how to describe and extend numerical, visual, or geometric patterns, we can also find missing elements in these patterns. The same tools we used to extend patterns—finding the pattern rule or pattern unit—will help us find the missing elements.
What is the missing number in the pattern?
11, 23, 47, ___, 191
First, we have to find the pattern rule. In an increasing number pattern like this one, we start by looking for an addition and/or multiplication relationship between the first two numbers. \begin{align*}11 + 12 = 23\end{align*}, so +12 is a possible pattern rule, but it doesn't apply to the second number (23) and third number (47), since \begin{align*}23 + 12 = 35\end{align*}, not 47. The third number is 47, which is one more than \begin{align*}23 \times 2\end{align*}, so \begin{align*}(\times \ 2 + 1)\end{align*} is a possible pattern rule.
Once you think you have found the pattern rule, you have to test it out. Going back to test the first two numbers, you can see that \begin{align*}(\times \ 2 +1)\end{align*} also describes that relationship. So the pattern rule is \begin{align*}(\times \ 2 +1)\end{align*}.
To find the missing number (the fourth number), we need to use the pattern rule to extend the pattern.
\begin{align*}47\times 2+1=95\end{align*}
\begin{align*}95\times 2+1=191\end{align*}
Our complete sequence is: 11, 23, 47, 95, 191.
Fill in the missing piece of the pattern.
First, we examine the figures in the pattern. The picture is a pattern of repeating images, so we can look at how the images repeat and figure out the missing image in the pattern.
This is the missing image. We can check our work by examining the pattern. The design faces to the left, then to the right, then to the left, then to the right, then to the left, then to the right.
This is the correct image to complete the pattern.

She has been accepted into a Teen Wilderness program and will be spending four weeks hiking, camping and learning wilderness skills in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. There are a bunch of other students who will be going too. Kelly hasn't met them yet.
In two weeks there will be a pre-trip meeting. At the pre-trip meeting, Kelly will meet the other kids in the program and learn specifics about the summer. In the meantime, Kelly is so excited that she is counting the days. To help her pass the time, her Mom bought her a couple of books about hiking and nature.
One of the books talks all about nature and unique features found in nature. One of the chapters in the book talks all about patterns in nature. Kelly is fascinated.
"Listen to this," she tells her friend Sara. "There are patterns on leaves and trees and flowers. In fact, according to this, the way a tree divides into branches follows a specific pattern."
"That is cool," Sara says. "Do you think it's really true?"
"We could go and check it out," Kelly suggests.
The girls decide to investigate. On a piece of paper Kelly writes the following pattern.
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13....
When the girls arrive at the park, they sit down in front of one of the trees. Kelly reads the following information.
"This pattern in nature is called the Fibonacci pattern after an Italian mathematician. He discovered that many things in nature follow this pattern of numbers."
"Very interesting, but how does it apply to trees?" Sara asked.
You just finished learning all about patterns and sequences. What is the rule for the Fibonacci pattern of numbers that Sara and Kelly are using?
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,
If you look you can see that the two previous numbers add together to equal the next number. This is the rule. Given this information, what is the next number in the pattern?
\begin{align*}8 + 13 = 21\end{align*}
What is the next one after that?
\begin{align*}13 + 21 = 34\end{align*}
Now let's apply the Fibonacci pattern to nature. First, think about leaves on a tree. Many leaves do contain Fibonacci numbers. Look at a maple leaf. There are five main sections to this leaf, thirteen major "points" (circled), and 1 stem that holds the leaf on the tree. 1, 5, and 13 are all Fibonacci numbers.
Here are the vocabulary words that are found in this lesson.

BBC criticised over severance pay for senior managers
1 July 2013 Last updated at 22:44 BST
The BBC has been criticised by the National Audit Office for paying out £25m in severance to 150 senior BBC managers, and risking "public trust".
The top 10 payments in the three years to December 2012 accounted for 20% of the total.
The BBC said the savings it had made from senior manager redundancies exceeded the cost of severance pay.
The BBC's director general Tony Hall said: "These payments were from another era and we are putting a stop to them."
David Sillito reports.

TEMECULA: Father, daughter to stand trial in 'vigilante' attack
A Temecula father and his teen daughter must stand trial for attempted murder and mayhem in connection with the beating of a man the girl had accused of raping her, a judge ruled Friday, June 7.
âObviously, vigilante justice isnât a defense to a criminal charge,â Judge Michael Rushton said as he announced his decision, then wondered aloud how a jury would react to the case.
David Ray Mills, 36, his 16-year-old daughter, and her friend, Andre Edwin Dickerson, 20, have pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, mayhem, assault and vandalism, court records show. The girl has been charged as an adult.
Sheriffâs officials began investigating Miguel Esteban Cruz, now 21, after the girlâs allegations came to light following the attack. He was charged in May with engaging in an act of sodomy with a minor, court records show. He was arrested at 2:15 p.m. Friday â" as the preliminary hearing was in session â" according to jail records. He is being held at the Southwest Detention Center on $50,000 bail.
The Press-Enterprise does not routinely identify possible victims of sexual crimes.
Riverside County sheriffâs investigators have said the girl, then 15, lured Cruz, then 20, to a Temecula park the night of Jan. 13 where Dickerson beat him with a wooden baseball bat as Mills and his daughter watched. Dickerson then smashed the windows out of Cruzâs van and left him lying in the park, court records say.
Cruz, who said he was struck 15 or more times, suffered skull fractures, large cuts to his scalp that required more than two dozen staples, a lung injury, a mangled ear, missing teeth, several broken bones and more, Investigator David Gorlicki testified during a preliminary hearing Friday at the Southwest Justice Center in French Valley.
Prosecutor Scott Mason showed gruesome photos of Cruzâs injuries on an overhead projector in court.
Though badly hurt, Cruz managed to drive himself home after the attack. His mother found him and took him to a hospital. Initially, Cruz lied to a deputy about why he was at the park, but he later admitted he went to meet the girl. He told the deputy that he didnât think she was responsible for the attack and didnât want to involve her.
Gorlicki said the girl never reported the allegations of sexual assault to police, and she didnât tell Dickerson or her father about it until the day of the attack. The girl said Cruz raped her in November when she spent the night at his Temecula home. She said she had been drinking vodka and passed out on Cruzâs bed.
Sitting in court wearing a yellow juvenile hall uniform, the girl began to cry as Gorlicki recounted her story. Her father, too, was teary-eyed throughout the hearing.
In the days leading up to the attack at Kent Hintergardt Memorial Park on Via Del Coronado, Cruz sent the girl a slew of obscene text messages suggesting they meet again to have sex, drink and smoke marijuana.
Her attorney, David E. Grande, read many of the messages in court, along with the girlâs responses.
âCanât you take a hint,â she wrote. âIâm not interested.â
At one point, the girl sent Cruz a text asking why he was trying to have sex with a 16-year-old.

Genesis 4New International Version (NIV)Cain and Abel4 Adam[a] made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.[b] She said, "With the help of the Lord I have brought forth[c] a man." 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. 6 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." 8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field."[d] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" "I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?" 10 The Lord said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth." 13 Cain said to the Lord, "My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." 15 But the Lord said to him, "Not so[e]; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the Lord's presence and lived in the land of Nod,[f] east of Eden. 17 Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech. 19 Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes. 22 Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of[g] bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain's sister was Naamah. 23 Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, listen to me; 25 Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[h] saying, "God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him." 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on[i] the name of the Lord. Footnotes:

can u pleze add Gravitation?!!!!!! here what its about: Shuichi Shindou is determined to take his band Bad Luck to the top of the Japanese pop charts. With his drive, talent, and satiny singing voice, he just might stand a chance. But Fate throws a wrench into his well-oiled machine in the form of a handsome stranger named Yuki, a romance writer with an attitude. Yuki is Shuichi's biggest critic, but as the two young artists gravitate towards each other, friendship, and perhaps something more, is sure to blossom. never judge a book by it's cover!' - never get bored of this quote! u can call me Mana! |

Regional Transportation Needs
Public Transportation
The region has a growing need for improved and increased transportation services, whether volunteer, public or for-profit service, for those without access to an automobile (or who would use a convenient and efficient alternative). Increased motor-vehicle use has led to significant air-quality problems, sprawling development, roadway congestion, and dependence on nonrenewable resources. To improve environmental quality, personal health and well-being, the region needs to identify and implement a public transportation program that meets the needs of its population (See "Chapter 3: Findings and Recommendations", SRTP 2007, page 62). City leadership should officially become part of the new Transportation Management Authority through the Southwest Region Planning Commission.
Bicycle and Pedestrian
Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure is a growing component of the region's transportation system. They improve quality of life and often provide an alternative to the automobile. Too often, however, this infrastructure does not receive consistent maintenance and preservation. All bicycle and pedestrian facilities should be preserved and maintained in a manner that promotes safety and efficiency and minimizes lifetime costs. Increased monitoring of use and condition is important.
When possible, the region should continue to expand its bicycle and pedestrian network in a way that maximizes its contribution to the region's economic growth and vitality. Safety, connectivity, and accessibility are key considerations (See "Chapter 3: Findings and Recommendations," SRTP 2007, page 62).
The region should establish and support a formalized rideshare program. The Contoocook Valley Transportation Company (CVTC) has created such a program that primarily serves the region's eastern towns. Employers in Keene and towns to the north, west and south of the city should pursue collaboration with CVTC to create an effective and efficient regional rideshare program. Doing so can save participants money, reduce air pollution, save resources and create social-interaction opportunities (See "Chapter 3: Findings and Recommendations," SRTP 2007, page 62).
Interregional Travel and Multi-Modal Connectivity
Quick, easy travel into and out of the region is important to the regional economy. Perhaps the largest need is connection to other, existing regional transportation options from Keene to surrounding destination points, such as Concord and Manchester/Nashua. Access from those destinations to Boston, New York City and Montreal is feasible through other public transportation providers or via transfer to another transportation mode. However, this should be deemed a short-term solution to a larger, long-term need.
Current transportation projects in eastern New Hampshire are expanding the I-93 corridor and extending commuter rail from Lowell, Massachusetts, to Nashua and eventually Manchester. To the south, MassHighway plans to continue expanding and improving Route 2 as well as expanding commuter rail along this corridor from Fitchburg to Gardner, Massachusetts. The completion in 1980 of the expansion of Massachusetts State Route 140 from Route 2 near Gardner, Massachusetts, to Route 12 in Winchendon, Massachusetts, dramatically decreased travel time between greater Boston and the southwest region. Economic growth will follow along these corridors, and it is imperative that our region is adequately connected to it. It is also important to maintain and expand links to the larger New England economy through enhancement of the NH 12 and NH 101 corridors and establishing multimodal connectivity (See "Chapter 3: Findings and Recommendations," SRTP 2007, page 62).
Goods Movement
The movement of goods into and out of the region is a major function of our current transportation system. It also impacts our region's food and energy security. Truck traffic – the primary way of moving goods into and out of Keene – is growing, and is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. As a result, it is important that goods movement is considered as part of all future transportation planning studies and highway and bridge reconstruction projects. (See "Chapter 3: Findings and Recommendations," SRTP 2007, page 62)
Regional Land Use/Transportation Connection
As stated previously, there is a strong connection between land use and transportation. Transportation facilities determine what land uses can be supported, and land uses determine what transportation facilities are needed. Planning for either should take place in a cooperative and complementary manner, not in isolation. Regional transportation needs and local land-use and development objectives must be balanced with transportation planning and investment decision-making.
Whenever possible, the region's communities should be encouraged to pursue infill development, with particular attention to the redevelopment of brownfields. Because the infrastructure is already in place, infill development and redevelopment is an efficient use of the region's physical resources.
Preservation of existing active and abandoned rights-of-way for future transportation use is strongly recommended. These rights-of-way often pass through desirable locations; once fragmented, they would be difficult and expensive to restore.
Without the use of the private automobile, Keene and the region are essentially isolated. Keene must assist in supporting multimodal regional transportation solutions that provide mode choice, increase the availability of interregional public transport, promote compact development and protect community character, and promote the efficient and secure movement of goods – all while keeping in mind community connectivity, climate change and sustainability goals. (See "Chapter 3: Findings and Recommendations," SRTP 2007, page 62)

Marriage, it is like a drug that just won't leave you be.
A little over a week ago the husband and I sat down and talked about
what we'd both been thinking but hadn't had the guts to actually put on the
table, the s word. Separating, separation, breaking up our family.
Rationally I know that it is very common, there's no stigma, lots of
people do it because marriages don't always work out, and let's face it, back
in the "good ole days" we didn't have the option and now we do. But still, it
isn't like going out to the store for a minute, a lot of thought and
consideration are involved, are necessary in fact so that's what we've been
doing. Thinking and considering the actual, practical implications of a separation.
Where would we live? When do we need to involve lawyers? How do we work out the
logistics of the children? How is he going to survive not seeing them every
day? Do we still raise them in this rural backwater if only one of us actually
needs to be here day in and day out? We're buying a house, a rather large
house, do we keep it and go ahead with the renovations, do we divide it in two
houses, do we sell it and start over?
Taking a minute (or ten) and actually working these things out in our
heads resulted in not an awful lot of fighting and bickering over the
furniture, as one would assume, but in a rearing of our stubborn streak. Really
seriously thinking about breaking up our marriage took us back to why we got
married in the first place. We started putting each other first. I can't move
back to America, not because he would stop me if that's what I wanted, but
because I wouldn't want to be that far away from him. When the Husband got ill
I had to imagine what my life would be like without him and now I don't want to
live my life without him in it whether we are married or not.
The reality of separating made us nicer to each other, it made us more
caring, ironically it brought us closer together. I honestly don't know what we're
doing but I don't think we're ready to give up on each other. The Boy came up to me the other day after I put him in time out for
something or other and said: Mama don't be mad at me, we're a family. A family.
I don't know how or if we're going to
work it out, but I guess we're not done fighting. I just hope it doesn't kill
Linking up today with Shell at Things I can't say.

{{HUGS}} what a tough situation. There is a lot at stake when contemplating separation or divorce, which you clearly know :) I hate to be *that* person who gives unsolicited advice so I won't. I'll just say that when DH and I hit a rough patch, we read a book called The High Conflict Couple. It DID NOT solve all our problems. It did help us discuss our issues much more logically. Good luch!

How To Buy The Best Avocados
Learn how to buy the best avocados this season as buying the best avocados is an art not known to many. For selecting the perfect avocados one needs to judge this fruit for four factors. Season, variety, size of avocado and area where it is grown determines the quality of avocado.
Although the main season for avocados is late winter/early spring, they are available in markets throughout the year.
The most common types of avocadoes available at the markets are Hass, Fuerte and Argentinean avocado.
Avocados are mostly pear shaped, though there are some round shaped varieties also available.The fruit grows on tall trees, which nurture in groves. The rich, pale yellow-green flesh of the pear-shaped fruit has a texture similar to a firm ripe banana.
It is the oil content of Avocado which makes the fruit smooth and buttery, with a faintly nutty flavor. The oil content is comparatively low at the beginning of the season than at the end. However, it's very hard to make this out from the skin of avocados.
If you want to buy the best avocados look for the ones with perfect feel and smoothness; check for uniformity of skin. Do not pick up avocados with spots and bruises or those with hollows between the skin and flesh. You can do a test by shaking the fruit; don't buy if the pit is loose.
While picking up Hass and Argentinean avocado, look for the color. If the avocado has a slight green shade, do not buy as the fruit is still not ready. But if you see a shining, black avocado, do not miss it. Also, look for the top. If it is a bit squishy, you have got one of the best avocados of the season. If the avocado does not yield to mild pressure it is considered still "firm" and will be ripe in a few days. If the avocado feels syrupy or very soft to the touch it may be overripe.
The other variety of avocado i.e. the Fuerte is harvested in Florida and is green. The skin of Fuerte is smooth and it tastes light. Since the skin is soft, it gets easily bruised. So, the trick of buying the best avocado here is to check the skin. If the skin is firm and smooth, you can buy it.
Enjoy the fruit, this season by picking up the best.
