Johns entry in the comment section: Ellingwood Ridge, AWESOME!
Lauries entry in the comment section: Ellingwood Ridge, LONG!
"I want to do some long traverse" George stated a couple of weeks before, while we discussed how to best spend our 4th of July weekend. George and I set out to climb La Plata via its most difficult route: the Ellingwood ridge. This rugged ridge runs roughly North to South, curving to the West until it joins the summit in one last dramatic 1300ft push to a rocky false summit. From there, another third of a mile deposits you at the summit. The majority of this 2 mile traverse occurs at 13,000 feet and can be done anywhere from sustained 3rd class to 5.4 with some rappels.
Word has it that some time in the 1920 or 30's Albert Ellingwood was heading up the approach of the standard route on La Plata with a group of people. At some point, he separated from the group, telling them he would climb the peak via the ridge that now bears his name. They waited for him at the summit and when he did not show up they went down worried about his fate. Fourteen hours after they had separated a thoroughly satisfied, albeit tired Ellingwood, showed up at their campsite after completing the arête route.
I chanced into Homie and Laurie at the trailhead of La Plata (what are the odds?), they were descending after completing the ridge while I had gone there to scout the approach for our climb on the next day. Homie had hauled a pack full of rope and gear and never used it
after some discussion it became clear to me that we should go light even of this meant not staying on the ridge 100% of the time. That night George and I agreed on going fast and light and settled for a 5:00 am start.
We started up the trail at 5:30 am after some logistics miscalculation. The trail contours East for two or three miles and crosses 4 creeks. We followed the last one up the mountain. We emerged from tree line at 11,200ft, exactly 1000ft above the trailhead. We were faced with 1,500ft of lose dirt and talus, large, unstable talus. This was by far, the worst part of the climb.
We worked our way towards some rock bands and wound up 3rd classing our way up them in order to avoid the talus nightmare. At one point, George dislodged a football size rock as I worked my way below him. I heard the rock come lose followed by his desperate call for me to move out of the way
Luckily, I picked the correct side to move to and the rock bounced past me and to the bottom of the slope
From then on we started switch backing up the slope, I zigged when George zagged to minimize the amount of time I was directly under him.
Two hours after we started, we were above the talus field and on a broad grassy shoulder where 5 mountain goats and a Ptarmigan went about their business. The mountain flower patches where nothing short of amazing and George let loose the artist in him.
For the first time we were able to see the complete ridge, all two miles worth of it. The sight is daunting especially when you consider the 1,300 ft climb at its end. "It's like eating an Elephant" George said, "if you think about it as a whole it seems impossible, you need to take it a bite at a time
Our objective was to stay on the ridge as long as we could. We achieved this for the most part with the following few exceptions:
All in all, I would say we stayed on the ridge some 85% of the time and climbed a good amount of 4th class and some short easy bursts of 5.easy particularly on the descents. A couple of times we found that the easier down climbs were on the West side via exposed but cool ramps. Gerry Roach mentions you will spend very little time on the ridge if you want to keep it a 3rd class
. This is perhaps a little exaggerated, although I can see one spending a huge amount of time route finding and backtracking if you try to stay on the ridge and keep the difficulty at that level.
We finally took a breather at the low point of the ridge where it curves just before the last 1,300+ ft climb to the top. As we drank and put on sunscreen we looked up at a broad talus slope leading to the top. Memories of the first talus field of the day were still fresh on our minds and we hoped for an easy escape from the rollin talus hell. We stuck to the ridge, having to chimney up an awkward slot and discovered to our relief, that the ridge itself was a great bypass of the talus field. This was one of the best sections of the climb.
All along, we had seen people on the summit and expected a large crowd at the top. Some of us, even expected them to cheer us on and offer us pina coladas at the top, but this may have been hypoxya induced wishful thinking
Six hours after leaving the trailhead we reached the deserted summit and proceeded to sign our names in the register. A few minutes later, we were joined by a couple of waves of people reaching the summit via the regular route. Clouds were gathering and we decided to get started with the knee jarring descent via the regular route. The trail has been greatly improved according to George and we only had to do the talus dance for some 200 yards at the top
We reached our car 8 hours after we started. During the descent we had wonderful views of the arête. We had come a long way : 10 miles of hiking, 5,200 vertical ft cumulative, 4 hours of 3rd and 4th class scrambling between 12,500 and 14,300ft. Hard to believe we had climbed that whole thing
We had in fact eaten the elephant. What a great day!

Because air pressure is basically the same indoors and out, a barometer can be placed inside or outside. For home use, hang a barometer on a wall in a place where people can read it conveniently. In most cases, this is an indoor wall, but outdoor walls work, too.
Calibrate a barometer when you set it up. Use a local weather source to determine the current atmospheric pressure in the area, and adjust the barometer to that pressure.Learn more about Weather Forecasts

First Green Cab Company in London Taking Market by Storm
Published 17 October 2009
There's now an environmentally conscious private minicab hire company in London to help make your journey within London from point A to point B greener, and at apparently no extra cost compared to the traditional cab companies like Addison Lee. Green Tomato Cars not only use the Toyota Prius hybrid car across their entire fleet, they also double-fund carbon offsetting projects to ensure that both their cars and their office operations are carbon neutral.
While the cars are different, the premise is the same; you can book or hire your cab ride by phone or online, and a car will be there at your doorstep within about half an hour to pick you up; no different from any other cab service and at roughly the same price. The only difference is your journey will be much greener. After hearing about this service, it is a no-brainer for me to switch to from my current preferred service, Addison Lee. But I wonder if the Priuses will be spacious enough inside for more than two people, and if they really have a big enough fleet to consistently get a car to a booking request within half an hour.
Green Tomato Cars is a relatively small player in the cab scene in London. It was set up in 2006 by a lawyer turned entrepreneur Tom Pakenham, who started out with only 5 Toyota Prius cars and now has a fleet of over 60. Still, I am hoping that this new entrant will take the market by storm and force the other cab companies like Addison Lee and Comcab to become more green. Addison Lee is an especially big culprit, as even when booking a cab for one, they send a mammoth SUV that has the capacity to easily fit 5 people.
Tomato Green Cab is not only green, it also is quite tech savvy, and may actually be the first cab company in the world to offer Twitter Booking. If you tweet a booking in their Twitter channel @greentomatocars, they will reply back to confirm your booking. Simple and elegant.
To book a minicab, either go to their website, dial/call 020 8568 0022, or go to the @greentomatocars twitter channel for more details to book by Twitter.

Gestational Diabetes Classes at Twin County Regional Healthcare
Diabetes? There is something you can do about it. Help is here.
What is gestational diabetes?
Pregnant women who have never had diabetes before but who have high blood sugar (glucose) levels during pregnancy are said to have gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes affects about four percent of all pregnant women - about 135,000 cases of gestational diabetes in the United States each year.
Gestational diabetes starts when your body is not able to make and use all the insulin it needs for pregnancy. Without enough insulin, glucose cannot leave the blood and be changed to energy. Glucose builds up in the blood to high levels. This is called hyperglycemia.
Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar that occurs ONLY in pregnant women who do not already have diabetes. It usually goes away once the baby is born. Only a small number of women are affected. It occurs at about the 24th week of pregnancy, when your body makes large amounts of hormones to help your baby grow. These hormones keep your insulin from working the way it should. When this happens, your blood sugar rises.
High blood sugar will cause your baby to grow large and make insulin. Don't worry - most women with gestational diabetes have healthy babies. Still, the gestational diabetes has to be treated until your baby is born. Keeping your blood sugar as near normal as possible will prevent problems for you and your baby.
What causes gestational diabetes?
We don't know what causes gestational diabetes, but we have some clues. The placenta supports the baby as it grows. Hormones from the placenta help the baby develop. But these hormones also block the action of the mother's insulin in her body. This problem is called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance makes it hard for the mother's body to use insulin. She may need up to three times as much insulin.
What do our classes cover?
Twin County Regional Healthcare offers a one-on-one class on managing Gestational Diabetes. You will receive a blood sugar meter if you need one, be taught how to check your blood sugar, and learn how eating healthy can help your condition.
What will it cost?
Our gestational diabetes class is only $20.00.
How do I register for a class?
To register for our Gestational Diabetes class, call the Diabetes Education Program at 276.238.3565.

DICE has detailed the upcoming title update for Battlefield 4 launching in September.
I'd really appriciate a better update schedule. For CTE improvements foremost. It's been months now that i've seen medic revive "count downs" and better character models not going full seizure when shot.
Come on already i was intiated on the 4th floor, i deserve better then this.
How about we fix how every time I leave a lobby my classes get reset to an earlier set? That would be great DICE
PC gamers can play this game for free for one week
So .... anyone else disliking the mystical red dot never moving easy kill sights? If I wanted that I'd play COD.

Gun metal terms get bandied about in product literature and the firearms press as if everybody knew just what the hell they were talking about. If you're in the dark about what it all means, read on.
What is steel? And why is it so important in gun building? Simply put, steel is iron with enough carbon in it to allow hardening—but not too much because that makes the resulting alloy brittle. Steel does not have pores; it consists of crystals. (Brief rant: Had I any hair left, I'd be pulling it out every time I heard of yet another lubricant that "gets into the pores of the steel.") The shape, size and alignment of those crystals determine the mechanical properties of the steel in question. The crystals of steel are described by their sizes and shapes, and they have actual names such as austenite and martensite, cementite and ferrite.
Steel can be alloyed with other metals such as nickel, chromium and tungsten—as well as non-metallic elements as molybdenum, sulfur and silicon. Those alloying agents add useful things to the mix, such as easy machineability, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance or tensile strength without brittleness to the steel grade in question.
The Society of Automotive Engineers uses a simple designating system, the four numbers you see bandied about in gun articles. Numbers such as 1060, 4140 or 5150 all designate how much of what is in them.
The first number is what class—carbon, nickel, chromium and so forth. The next three numbers tell you how much of what is in them. Let's take as an example the steels in the classic barrel argument amongst AR owners: 4140 steel versus 4150 steel.
4140, also known as ordnance steel, was one of the early high-alloy steels, used in 1920s' aircraft frames and automotive axles in addition to rifle barrels. It has about 1 percent chromium, 0.25 percent molybdenum, 0.4 percent carbon, 1 percent manganese, around 0.2 percent silicon and no more than 0.035 percent phosphorus and no more than 0.04 percent sulphur. That leaves most of it, 94.25 percent, iron.
The "big" difference between 4140 and 4150? The 4150 has 0.5 percent carbon in it. That extra 0.1 percent makes the 4150 alloy so much harder that it becomes a lot more difficult to work with, but the U.S. Army wants the extra wearability that 4150 offers and is willing to pay for it.
Most rifle makers realize that their customers won't pay the extra costs and find that 4140 is more than good enough. After all, if a .30-06 hunting rifle already has a barrel that will shoot accurately for 5,000 rounds—which is like three lifetimes of hunting—who will pay twice the barrel cost for one that lasts 7,500 rounds?
However, the SAE standards are merely a list of ingredients. When, and at what temperatures you add the alloying constituents also can change the final properties. AR-15 bolts, for instance, are made of a steel known as Carpenter 158. It is a product of the Carpenter steel company, the sole maker, and you won't find it on the SAE list (although if you did it would probably be known as 3310). It's Carpenter's secret, proprietary steel, and if you want it, you buy it from Carpenter.
Are there steels that would work as well, or even better, than Carpenter 158 for AR bolts? Probably. The alloy is a product of 1960s technology, and we've learned a lot since then, but it is enshrined as the mil-spec.
And what about stainless steel? Developed before World War I, stainless steel used in firearms isn't really stainless. It is very rust-resistant, however—not because there is so much chromium but because the chromium on the surface reacts to air to form a passive layer of chromium oxide, which seals the iron from oxidation.
Stainless alloys have their own designations, and the most common of these are the 400 series, and 416 is very popular with manufacturers because it is almost as easy to machine as carbon steel.
Aluminum is used in firearms in two alloys: 7075 and 6061. 6061 is commonly referred to as "aircraft" aluminum and has trace amounts of silicon, copper, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. 7075 is a much stronger alloy and has markedly larger amounts of copper, manganese, chromium and zinc.
Either are strong enough for the tasks we ask of them, but the big reason for 7075 over 6061 in the production of AR receivers, for instance, is corrosion resistance. Early testing in Southeast Asia showed that human sweat, combined with the high temperatures and humidity of the jungle, would simply eat away at 6061 alloy. 7075 just shrugs it off.
Aluminum is too soft to be used bare. To harden its surface, manufacturers use a process known as anodizing. They dunk the aluminum parts in a tank of an acidic solution and pump electricity through it. The result is an accelerated formation of natural oxides that harden the surface.
The oxides are porous, so it is common to use a sealant. The mil-spec process uses a nickel acetate sealant, and the dark color results from the dye used (the natural color left after anodizing is still "aluminum").
What does this mean for us rifle shooters? Well, now you have a better idea of what gun companies (and gun magazines) are talking about when they spew metal specs at you when describing a gun's construction.
Common Gun Metals
Carbon Steels
- 1020 and 1520—Common, "plain" or cold-rolled steel. You'll find it in trigger guards, floorplates, sights, sling swivels and other steel hardware.
- 4140—Ordnance steel or chrome-moly steel, it has 0.4 percent carbon and is really strong while still being cost-effective to machine. You'll find this in barrels, bolts receivers and high-stress items like muzzle brakes.
- 4150—The same as "ordnance" steel but with the carbon content upped to 0.5 percent. 4150 holds up better to serious abuse, and it's found primarily in mil-spec AR-15 barrels.
- 41V45—A chrome-moly variant, it has a dash of vanadium in it. This is an alloy selected to produce hammer-forged barrels.
- 8620—This is a full-up alloy of nickel, chromium, molybdenum, with 0.2 percent carbon. Cast receivers are made of this alloy because it fills the mold well, machines cleanly and ends up very tough and strong.
Stainless Steels
- 316—Also known as "marine" grade stainless, as it resists corrosion well because of added molybdenum but is not easy to harden. Used in trigger guards and floorplates.
- 17-4—An alloy with 17 percent chromium and 4 percent nickel. 17-4 (or a close kin) is readily hardened and is used in barrels, bolts and receivers.
Aluminum Alloys
- 6061—Aircraft aluminum, selected in that application for its light weight and ease of fabrication into complex parts. Floorplates on hunting rifles, scope rings and some handguards and buffer tubes on AR-15 rifles are made of 6061.
- 7075—Much stronger than 6061, it's the alloy used in AR-15 upper and lower receivers, some mil-spec brands of buffer tubes and some railed handguards. In mil-spec parlance, it is known as "7057-T6"; the last part designates the type of heat treatment it receives.

Brenda's Barn
Watercolor 9" x 12" Mats to 14" x 16"
My watercolor painting above was painted from a photograph taken by one of my friends. Her photo was taken across the street from her home during our last snow...just a week ago. She is an excellent photographer who has a knack for composition in her subjects. Her photo caught my eye as an excellent subject for a painting.
My watercolor class is concluding a unit of study on the winter palette; so this painting was an excellent way to end this unit using the colors of the winter palette. As a recap, the follow are colors in the winter palette:• Payne's Gray
• Ultramarine
• Burnt Sienna
• Sap Green
• Burnt Umber
In my painting above, I used ultramarine and Payne's gray for my sky as well as the snow shadows. Tree branches and trees were painted with a mix of burnt umber and Payne's gray. The barn was a mix of reds and burnt umber to give a weathered texture to the red barn.
This was a fun painting for me....I love painting old barns; and this was is even more special since it was painted from a photo taken by a friend.
If the groundhog was right, Spring is just around the corner. We will start a new unit of study in our watercolor classes for March - the Spring palette. So, good by winter....see you next year!
Happy Painting!

Former New York Giants offensive lineman Luke Petitgout, 37, allegedly beat his wife with her pocketbook while they were celebrating their anniversary last Friday. Petitgout turned himself in to authorities on Tuesday.
According to the New York Post, Jennifer Petitgout, 36, his wife, was accused of cheating at around 5:30 a.m., and then Petitgout beat "her with her pocketbook and shoved her out of the car" on Friday, according to law enforcement sources. He reportedly threw her purse at her head as well.
Jennifer Petitgout "was taken to New York Downtown Hospital for minor injuries."
Petitgout was drafted out of Notre Dame by the Giants in 1999. He played for New York until 2007, and then played another season in the league before injuries forced him to retire.

The close partnership between the medical and surgical teams at Seattle Children's gives kids with end-stage kidney disease a bright future.
Twelve hours of daily dialysis can't dampen the spirit or curiosity of C.J. Bain, 4. Transplant coordinator Makayla Ramirez, RN, is part of the team that manages C.J.'s care now, and during and after he receives a kidney transplant.
C.J. Bain was a thirsty boy. He woke up thirsty and he went to bed thirsty. What C.J. wanted more than anything was a cold glass of water. But he couldn't have it. Not until he got a kidney.
"That was his big thing — when he got his kidney, he was going to have water," says C.J.'s mother, Danell Bain. "He was so thirsty, it was driving him crazy."
Born with a blocked urethra, C.J.'s dying kidneys were removed more than a year ago to stop repeated infections. He couldn't consume any free liquids because, as his mom explains, the fluid had nowhere to go.
Instead, Danell and her husband, Gary, gave C.J. three cans a day of a dietary supplement — and waited for a call from Children's telling the Port Orchard, Washington, couple that a suitable donor kidney was available for their 4-year-old son. That call finally came in the spring of 2007.
"The majority of children who develop kidney failure were born with abnormalities in their kidneys or urinary tracts," explains pediatric surgeon Dr. Patrick Healey, who leads Children's Division of Transplantation.
"Each child needs a plan of care that addresses their individual needs. This often includes a series of procedures to manage or reconstruct their underlying abnormality, to create access for dialysis and to provide optimal nutrition for growth before the transplant."
Teamwork, rigorous follow-up and the exchange of new ideas with other leading programs are the keys to Children's success, says Dr. Ruth McDonald, medical director for Solid Organ Transplant.
"Our entire team — physicians, pharmacists, nutritionists, transplant coordinators — makes rounds as a group and comes to decisions as a group, which ensures all aspects of a patient's care and condition are considered," says McDonald. "The relationship between the medical side and the surgical side is especially close."

The science of walking comfort
1300 788 119
Support for little feet!
Available size:
All toddlers have flat feet and by the age of 4 or 5 the arches should start to develop. However, with some children the foot remains flat, or only a very low arch is showing. Arch height is actually not the main concern in young children. The more important question is, whether your child suffers from excessive pronation (rolling inward of the ankles). Excess pronation is easily diagnosed. If you draw an imaginary line from the tip of the ankle bone downwards and the line ends away from the foot, your child over-pronates and their feet need correcting (see example to the right).
Excessive pronation may cause your child to develop an abnormal gait pattern. At a young age these children may not suffer from any type of foot pain, but later on they are likely to develop conditions such Children's Heel Pain (Sever's Disease), Children's Knee pain (Osgood-Schlatters disease), general foot pain, ankle pain and/or aching legs. Growing pains (which all children will experience) are often more severe in children with pronating feet compared to children with normal feet.
Footlogics Kids orthotics are a medical-grade orthotic designed to provide biomechanical support and restore the child's walking pattern. By re-aligning the child's feet early on, many biomechanical complaints can be prevented, allowing the feet to develop more naturally. Footlogics Kids orthotics are safe to use, however if your child suffers from a major foot deformity or particular illnes or medical condition, we recommend you consult your GP or specialist first, before using Footlogics.

Yantai-Raffles inks $300 million LOI
Yantai Raffles Shipyard Limited reports that it has signed a Letter of Intent with Consafe Invest AB, a wholly owned subsidiary of JCE Group AB, to build two semi-submersible heavy lifters worth a total of US $300 million.
The two 30,000 metric tonnes displacement semi-submersible service and crane vessels are to be built according to the Norwegian Continental Shelf regulations and will be specially outfitted for maintenance work and lift operations in offshore fields worldwide.
Each vessel has a 90 m x 60 m metres free deck space and will be outfitted with two 1,100 metric tonnes revolving cranes over the port side.
The accommodations block for 350 persons, mounted cantilever over the starboard side, will be able to provide more free deck space.
The first vessel, SSCB Safe Lifter, will be delivered 18 months from the effective date of the contract. It will be outfitted with a conventional 10 point mooring system and prepared for a Dynamic Positioning (DP) system. The second unit, SSCB Safe Carrier, will be delivered within 28 months and will be fully outfitted with the DP system.
"We have developed this project together with Yantai Raffles for quite some time now, and YRSÕ delivery schedule is fast tracking them to be the most advanced offshore yard in the world. Their gantry crane with lifting capacity of 20,000 metric tonnes, ready this summer, will boost the production capacity at their shipyard enormously.Ó says Hampus Ericsson, CEO of Consafe Invest.

As his title suggests, Watson has divided the book into two related but independent parts. The first part, a revised and enlarged version of his 1970 volume The Law of the Ancient Romans, provides a comprehensive description of the system of Roman law. Watson begins with a discussion of law and the Roman mind and proceeds to such topics as slavery, property, contracts, delicts, and succession. In part two he argues that comparative law--an area of study still in its infancy--can help us "to identify the circumstances in which law changes, thereby uncovering the causes of legal development."
Guided by this purpose, Watson examines the ways in which Roman law influenced later legal systems and how comparative law explains the role of law in society. He ties his explication throughout to individual issues. These include the structure of European legal systems, tort law in the French civil code, the structure of Blackstone's Commentaries on the Law of England, differences between contract law in France and Germany, the parameters of judicial reasoning, lessons to be drawn from feudal law, and the interests of governments in making and communicating law. He takes care to discriminate between law created by legislatures and law conceived by scholarly jurists or judges.

Book Review + Giveaway: Every Day
Every Day
By David Levithan
August 28, 2012
Ages 12 and up
Knopf Books for Young Readers
Reviewed: ARC/e-book
Few novels manage to be both utterly unique and resonate with readers long after the last page has been turned. EVERY DAY by David Levithan is one such novel. The story is original, thoughtful and completely mind boggling – it will surely stick with this reader for awhile.
EVERY DAY centers around the nameless, genderless, bodyless character who is called A. Having no permanent body, A switches to the bodies of others pretending to be the actual owner of the body, be it male or female. Residing in each body for only one day, A lives never knowing what the next way will bring. A has access to all of the memories of each body and is entirely at the mercy of each body's needs, but not necessarily each body's personality or desires. Is A the invader, or is he the prisoner? Is this lonely, wandering lifestyle one that you would want to live? Would A die if the body were to die while A was in it? Are there others out there like A? All of these questions are asked within the story. All of these questions kept me thoroughly engrossed and gave me pause even after the story had ended.
Oh, and there's this girl… Rhiannon. One day, while in the body of her boyfriend, Justin, A falls in love. Not just any love, this love causes A to question the act of jumping bodies from day to day, to desire settling down, to want to change. Ah, their love was so sweet. Though, surprisingly, I felt a bit disconnected with Rhiannon as a character. Even still, I wanted A to get the girl and I rooted for A until the very end.
What was it about Rhiannon that kept me at arm's length? Well, without spoiling things, I lacked faith in her. I did not see her changing. I thought she was too weak of a character. I became annoyed with her while A was trying to be what she needed. I wanted so much more from her over the course of the story. Others may not agree, but there you have it. My only downfall with this novel was Rhiannon and her actions (or lack thereof) within the story.
(Yet, I must ask myself: Would I have acted differently if I were in her place? Hmm…)
Be that as it may, most of the book centers around A's daily lifestyle. We jump with A over the course of many, many days. Through A, we experience many, many different bodies. I loved A as both a male and as a female. I loved A's heart and soul. In fact, A is quite possibly one of my favorite characters is YA fiction, ever. Through A we not only get to experience one, but many. There are a whole lot of issues that poor, selfless A has to deal with in one seriously inconsistent, erratic life. We watch him have to deal with who he is, exposing himself for the first time ever.
In the end, EVERY DAY would not be the book it is without A and A would not be A if A was not exactly what A is. Whatever that may be. (Yeah. Try saying that 10 times fast.)
No matter the outcome of Rhiannon and A's story (which was genius and made me love A even more) and no matter how many questions were still left unanswered even after completing the book, I think that A's story will stick with me for years to come. I recommend EVERY DAY to everyone. (Which is why, as an official Ambuzzador for this book, I am offering a copy of EVERY DAY to a lucky winner below!)

According to numerous mini teardrop camper dealers and owners, some of the main advantages of camping with mini teardrop campers is their versatility and practicality. They are small in size, yet still allow for protection from the elements and storage space.Continue Reading
Mini teardrop campers were popular in the 1930s and 1940s and started to gain popularity again in the early 2000s. They are small campers that are generally lightweight and used to sleep in and store items when camping and/or traveling. Because of their compact size and low weight, they can generally be pulled behind small vehicles with low towing capacities, making them convenient for people who do not have large SUVs, trucks or other vehicles specialized for towing. This also makes the units more fuel efficient than larger campers.
Owners of mini teardrop campers frequently state that advantages of their small size over RVs and larger campers include being easier to park them and find parking for them, as well as easier to store them when they are not being used. Despite their small size, most models fit one to three single beds in them, as well as numerous drawers and cabinets that can be used for storage. In comparison to tents, they are generally more stable, watertight, warm, comfortable and safe.Learn more about Vehicles

A term invented by angry atheists who suffer from anger management issues and superiority complex. It is a portmanteau of 'pugnacious' and 'atheism', although it is often mistakenly referred to as a contraction instead of a portmanteau, which should give some indication of the overall intelligence of those who say they practice it. The term means aggressive atheism, and is characterized by thinking oneself to be automatically superior to anyone who believes in any kind of religion, and feeling that it's necessary to verbally abuse such people. This is the opposite of using a "live and let live" attitude, and so they refuse to be tolerant of the life choices of others, even when those others are tolerant of the life choice of the atheist.
Hobbies of those who practice pugnatheism include, but are not limited to: making sweeping over-generalizations about various persons, groups, organizations, and even who geographic regions; complete and utter refusal to be tolerant of anyone whose beliefs or philosophies differ from your own; angrily arguing on internet forums with religious people in order to tell them how wrong and stupid they are instead of simply living your life enjoyably and letting them do the same; believing yourself to be such a brilliant genius that you know the exact nature of the universe and calculate with 100% accuracy that there couldn't possibly be anything besides what you can see with your own two eyes; and of course, practicing regular worship of Richard Dawkins.

Victory over David Ferrer on Sunday now means he has won 25 out of his last 26 games played. Prior to success in Shanghai, Murray had overcome Nadal in Japan and Donald Young in Bangkok to rise above the Swiss great. Murray now brings fine form into the season ending ATP master tournament held in London every year which comprises of the best eight players from the calendar year.
It has been a fantastic year for Murray but his search for a lucrative first grand slam continues though after he made the semi-finals of all four in 2011. Federer is left to reflect on tumbling out of the world's top three for the first time since 2003 as, at the age of 30, he begins to show signs of decline. The Swiss legend, a winner of 16 grand slams, has claimed just one title in 2011.
Serbia's Novak Djokovic remains on top after a breath taking year and he will look to end the season with a win in London.
World Rankings: 1. Novak Djokovic (SRB), 2. Rafael Nadal (SPA), 3. Andy Murray (GBR), 4. Roger Federer (SWI), 5. David Ferrer (SPA), 6. Robin Soderling (SWE), 7. Tomas Berdych (CZE), 8. Mardy Fish (USA), 9. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA), 10. Gael Monfils (FRA), 11. Nicolas Almagro (SPA), 12. Gilles Simon (FRA), 13. Andy Roddick (USA), 14. Janko Tipsarevic (SRB), 15. Juan Martin Del Potro (ARG), 16. Viktor Troicki (SRB), 17. Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR), 18. Richard Gasquet (FRA), 19. Stanislas Wawrinka (SWI), 20. Florian Mayer (GER).

Top six finishers surpass course record, Williams wins NESCAC title
BRUNSWICK, Maine -- No. 3 Williams claimed the crown at the 2012 NESCAC Championships hosted by Bowdoin on Saturday.
No. 21 Amherst's Keri Lambert broke away from the pack, crushing the course record in a time of 20:33.45 and out-distancing second-place Addie Tousley of Middlebury by 47 seconds. She is the fourth Jeff to win the event in the past six years.
The 6-kilometer team event was a record-breaker, as the top six runners all beat the previous course standard. Williams was able to defend its 2011 championship with a trio of runners in the top five. Kaleigh Kenny led the way with a third-place time of 21:37.80.
The Ephs posted 45 points to take first place ahead of No. 5 Middlebury (71), which had three finishers in the top 11. Amherst was third (107), followed by No. 28 Bates and No. 17 Tufts in a tie for fourth (138). Wesleyan (Conn.) (153), Bowdoin (161), Colby (186), Hamilton (215), Connecticut College (285) and Trinity (355) rounded out the field.

In the beginning was the fender-bender.
A two-car collision Feb. 15, which sent both vehicles to the shoulder of northbound Interstate 95 near Chesaco Avenue, seemed to intrigue an elderly couple driving in the middle lane.
They slowed to rubberneck, and "a lady from New Jersey ran into the back of them," said Troy Duncan, a 27-year-old State Highway Administration employee who was helping to clean up after the first accident. "And then this Florida couple ran into the back of her," he added, shaking his head.

Room Acoustics and Worship Space Design
By: Matt Swysgood
The acoustic design for a worship facility is complex and varies greatly depending on the priorities established for the space. Is the clarity and intelligibility of the spoken word the priority as it would be in a lecture hall? Are the room acoustics for the choir and the music program top priority as in a performing arts hall? Is recording or broadcasting in the mix? What are the seating requirements, and how does this affect the size and shape of the room? Unfortunately, there is not a cookie-cutter room acoustics design that fits all worship facilities. On the contrary, the huge variety of building shapes and sizes that are utilized for houses of worship make the acoustical design especially challenging. Secondly, the desired acoustics varies greatly for different styles of worship.
Imagine a cathedral, a room with great cubic volume where the reverberation level of sound is very high. Reverberation is the continuation of sound that we hear as it reflects off of the interior surfaces in a room. The distance traveled, directionality, and intensity of these reflections control the "room acoustics." In a cathedral, the highly reverberant space creates desirable acoustics for the pipe organ. You are enveloped in sound reflecting from many surfaces that arrives at your ear at different times. The clarity of the spoken word suffers in a typical cathedral, but the music and reverberant sound created by the pipe organ and the room can be fabulous.
Conversely, a smaller, more intimate space provides clarity of speech that is not possible in an immense cathedral with hard, sound reflective surfaces. Imagine a smaller shoebox-shaped sanctuary where the seats are all relatively close to the pulpit. The very different acoustics in these two examples is largely a result of the different volumes of the rooms and the distance that sound travels before reflecting off of the interior surfaces. In addition, the materials used to construct and finish the floor, walls, ceiling, windows, curtains, seats, and the like will control how sound behaves in a space. Even the people in the room add sound absorption and reduce reverberation.
Reverb Time (T60) is an acoustical measurement for the reverberation level in a room. Specifically, the T60 is a measurement of the time it takes for a loud sound in a room; imagine a loud hand clap or a balloon burst to drop 60 decibels. There is a wide range of recommended Reverb Times for various types of rooms and for a variety of worship spaces from small churches to huge cathedrals. The Reverb Time in a room can also be calculated during design by inputting room size and the various surface materials. Wood floors, painted masonry, glass, and drywall are sound reflective. Carpet and curtains absorb higher frequency sound.
Acoustical panels can absorb broad frequency sound reducing the intensity of sound reflections. Acoustical diffusers or other irregularly shaped sound reflective (hard) surfaces scatter sound with minimal loss of intensity. Overhead acoustical reflectors can be used to direct and scatter sound and improve the timing of sound reflections into a seating area. In addition to controlling sound with the room size and shape, properly applied finish materials will improve the room acoustics.
Comparing the design of a worship space to that of an auditorium, there are many design criteria to be considered. It is very important to evaluate the acoustics of the space at the design stage where the size of the room, room shape, and the finish surfaces are being determined. In addition, the HVAC design needs to be evaluated for the level of background noise produced in the worship space. Higher-than-desirable background noise, often the result of improper HVAC design, will reduce speech intelligibility and hinder music quality. Where acoustic quality is not evaluated until after construction, it is often more difficult to achieve due to the limitations of a poor room design.
Worship Space Acoustical Design Tips
2. Acoustical engineering and consulting firms throughout North America have the expertise to make sure you "get it right acoustically." Whenever possible, bring a consultant on early in the design stage to work with your architect.
3. Audio/video professionals can be helpful with architectural acoustics, but, remember, their training is in A/V equipment design not architectural acoustics. Verify your consultant's experience in architectural acoustics, hopefully with similar projects.
4. Beware blaming the audio equipment for poor room acoustics and design. Conversely, installing a new audio system, when the problem is actually the room design, can be very disappointing.
5. There are often aesthetic and interior design adjustments required in order to achieve great acoustics. Maybe that beautiful domed ceiling that will focus sound into one small area is not such a good idea.
6. Acoustical interiors products, sound absorptive panels, acoustical diffuser panels, and overhead sound reflectors can greatly enhance the acoustic quality in a space. Proper selection and location of acoustical finish materials, along with a good room design, will optimize acoustic quality.
7. Too much reverberation reduces sound clarity and speech intelligibility.
8. Too little reverberation reduces the quality of music and creates an acoustically "dead" space.
9. Controlling unwanted sound reflections can be done with acoustical absorber panels, which reduce the sound intensity of the reflection, or sound diffusers, which scatter the sound.
10. Concave or inwardly curved wall or ceiling surfaces focus sound. This can be a negative if the focusing occurs at the listener level.
11. Convex or outwardly bowed surfaces scatter sound. Irregularly shaped surfaces scatter sound. This can improve acoustics in a large space by maintaining a desirable level of reverberation and sound intensity while more evenly distributing sound throughout the seating area.
12. A quiet space allows speech and music to be best heard and enjoyed. Design the HVAC system and the shell of the space to keep the background noise in the room very low.

Crystals are a girls new best friend! So here are some hints to maintain the beautiful high quality shine and luster of your special occasion jewelry:
-sleeping in your jewelry, exposure to water, lotions, hair products, cooking grease, and scratching on hard surfaces which will not only dull the luster but may weaken the stringing material and loosen the crystal design
-by using baby wipes then drying with a soft cloth or mix up your own solution of water, dish soap and rubbing alcohol and again, polish with a soft cloth.
Unless otherwise specified as sterling silver, any pieces with a silver look are made with copper that is silver plated. In order to avoid any skin irritations only nickel and lead free silver plated materials are used in the making of I Candy.
Caring for silver plated jewelry is similar to sterling silver jewelry. Storing in sealed plastic bags will delay the tarnishing effects of oxygen and perspiration. To remove tarnish from silver plated jewelry use the same recommend cleaning techniques for cleaning Sterling Silver. The only major difference is limiting the amount of polish used as over exposure can inadvertently remove the silver plating.
Unlike sterling silver, silver plated jewelry will eventually wear in time. Proper cleaning, maintenance, and storage are critical for extending its life. Some Silver plated jewelry will last longer than others depending on the thickness of the layer.
Rather than polishes or pastes, we recommend you use a polishing cloth, available at fine jewelry stores. A polishing cloth is non-abrasive and it will remove tarnish without a lot of effort. You can also try a tarnish removing paste found in jewelry stores, but be careful; some products can be highly abrasive and will remove some of the plating after each polishing.

Day 1. Prepare the rind:
Cut the watermelon into 3/4-inch slices. Trim the rind away from the pink flesh; make sure no pink is left on the rind. Trim away the outer skin. Cut the rind into approximately 3/4-inch cubes. Toss with the pickling salt in a large bowl and refrigerate overnight.
Day 2. Prepare the jars and lids:
Wash all jars and lids thoroughly with soap and water and rinse well. Fill your canner with enough water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch and bring to a simmer. Using a pair of canning tongs, lower the jars in gently, tilting them to fill with the hot water. In a small saucepan, keep some water warm but not boiling; place the lids in the water. Have an additional kettle of water on to boil.
Pickle the rind:
Rinse the rind thoroughly and drain, twice. In a large stockpot, combine the vinegar, sugar and cloves, and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the rind to the brine, bring back to the boil, reduce to a low boil and cook uncovered until the rind is translucent, about 20 minutes.
Fill and close the jars:
Using canning tongs, remove the jars from the canner, carefully pouring the water back into the canner. Set next to the stockpot with the pickled rind. Turn the heat under the canner to high. Use a ladle to pour the pickled rind into the jars through a canning funnel, leaving 1/2-inch headspace at the top. Run a clean chopstick around the inside of the jar to dislodge any trapped air. Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp paper towel. Place the lids on, and screw on the rings until just finger-tight.
Seal the jars:
Using canning tongs, gently transfer the jars to the canner, taking care to keep them vertical. When all the jars are in the canner, there should be at least 1 inch water covering them; if you need more, add water from the kettle until the jars are sufficiently covered. Bring the water to a full rolling boil, and process for 5 minutes.
Remove and cool:
Using canning tongs, gently remove the jars from the canner and transfer them to a kitchen towel or cooling rack, again keeping them vertical. Do not set hot jars directly on to cool counter surfaces. Leave to cool, undisturbed, for at least 12 hours. If any of the jars do not seal when cool, reprocess using the method above, or refrigerate and use immediately.
Label and store:
Add a label to the lid or side of your jar, noting the date it was canned. Remove the rings and store jars in a cool, dark place for 3 weeks before opening. Jars can be stored for up to a year. Refrigerate after opening.

There's just something about the British Open that makes it one of the most enjoyable golf events, not only for spectators but for the players, as well.
Combine the fun of morning television coverage, the unique views and layouts of courses that have been around, in many cases, for over 100 years and the change from traditional U.S. "target golf" and we, as viewers, are treated to a very special product. Ask most fans and they will tell you that the British Open is a close second to the Masters on the major championships favorites list.
This year's version of the very traditional event brings us to Royal Lytham & St. Anne's in Lancashire, England on the coast of the Irish Sea. Lytham is a true "links" course in that it was built in 1886 on land that "linked" the farmland of the area to the coastline. The course also represents what most golfers consider a links layout in that its' 10th tee is the furthest from the clubhouse with the opening nine generally going "out" and the remaining nine holes coming "in". Toss in over 200 bunkers and some challenging rough and we've got a perfect spot to determine this year's Open champion.
Royal Lytham & St. Anne's has hosted the Open Championship five times since 1974. Former champions include Gary Player, Seve Ballesteros (twice), Tom Lehman and David Duval.
Keeping in mind that golf is different in its' original home than it is in many other places around the globe, it typically takes a certain kind of player to win the Open tournament. Ball-striking and a proficiency at putting from long distances must be combined with guts and imagination in order to hoist the Claret Jug. That being said, let's begin our discussion of this week's iCHOOSEGOLF Fantasy Five.
And, since this week is a major championship, we'll give you our standard five picks along with some other names you'll need to consider when filling out your fantasy golf rosters.
Lee Westwood: It's safe to say that Westwood is by far the best player to have never won a major. It's also safe to say that the Englishman has his sights set directly on rectifying that oversight this week. The time is now for Westwood to finally push through for a win. He's been close already this year after finishing T3 at the Masters and T10 at the U.S. Open. He's now ranked 8th on the PGA TOUR in Scoring thanks mainly to a #2 rank in Greens In Regulation and a #10 rank in Birdie Average. Add in a #29 rank in putts made over 25 feet - a key stat for large British Open greens - and the stars feel like they are aligning for Lee. It is up to him to find a way to get it done on Sunday. The "gut" feeling this week is that he will.
Graeme McDowell: The Northern Irishman makes the list this week for several reasons. He's familiar with golf in this part of the world. He knows how to win a major championship (2010 U.S. Open). And, in reference to our winning formula for this week, Graeme has all the "pieces". He's ranked 44th in GIR, 2nd in Driving Accuracy, 24th in Scoring and 8th in putting over 25 feet. He's already logged a T12 at the Masters and a T2 in the U.S. Open this year. It would be no surprise to see McDowell add a British Open championship to his career resume.
Bubba Watson: This pick comes with a caveat. IF Bubba can keep his mind and emotions in check, he will contend this week. Watson has all the necessary skills. He's #1 on the PGA TOUR in GIR, he's 10th in Birdie or Better Conversion and he's 19th in putting outside of 25 feet. We all know that he has the guts and heart to win a major championship (see: crazy good shot in playoff at Augusta National). Unfortunately, we also know that there are moments in the British Open where the weather and playing conditions will test every players' patience. Considering that patience hasn't always been Bubba's strongest suit, it remains to be seen if, indeed, his newfound maturity can carry him through to success overseas.
Keegan Bradley: If you follow the ICG Fantasy Five, you already know that Keegan is one of our favorites. And why not? Though he just turned 26 years old, he already has a major championship (2011 PGA) to go with a win (2011 Byron Nelson), a runner-up, seven top-10s and 22 top-25s in less than two full seasons on the TOUR. This year he's ranked 5th in Birdie Average, 9th in Birdie or Better Conversion, 20th in Scoring, 15th in Driving Distance and 27th in GIR. He's #50 in putting over 25 feet so, in the end, that may be the deciding factor of his success at Royal Lytham. If he gets that part of his game sharp, the sky's the limit this week.
Tiger Woods: Alright. You probably figured we wouldn't overlook Mr. Woods. In some ways, Tiger takes this spot on our list simply because he's Tiger. Strictly speaking, he also ranks well in the important categories for this week. He's 11th in GIR, 26th in Birdie Average and 1st in Scoring. The question this week, though, is the same as it has been for almost two years: the putter. He's ranked 132nd in putts over 25 feet. Just to be clear - that's not good. In the past, prognosticators would plug in Tiger's name and then go try and find the other four guys for the list. Thanks to Woods' putting struggles, that's not the case anymore. IF Tiger putts well this week, he can win. IF he doesn't, he won't. Simple as that.
Other Notables:
Martin Laird: The Scotsman is ranked 9th in GIR, 13th in Birdie or Better Conversion but 81st in putts over 25 feet. Like Woods, if Laird can get his putter in order, he'll be in the mix this week.
Justin Rose: Your gut probably tells you Rose's name should be listed higher than this, and you're probably right. Ranked 4th in GIR and 20th in putts over 25 feet, Justin will play well. Does he have the guts to win a major? We'll see.
Phil Mickelson: Despite winning at Pebble Beach, Mickelson would probably say this season hasn't lived up to expectations. He's 68th in GIR and 45th in putts over 25 feet, both of which wouldn't be considered "stellar" stats. We know he has the talent and guts. Will that be enough this week?
Coverage of the British Open begins on ESPN on Thursday at 7 a.m. EDT / 6 a.m.CDT.

What to CookSpice
6 Homemade Spice, Salt, and Sugar Blends to Keep Within Reach
Like water-skiing, calculus, and poker, spice organization is a skill—an art—that simply eludes me.
The only space we had for spices in my childhood home was a deep, three-shelved cabinet; the spices extended all the way to the back wall. To need, say, dried oregano or a cinnamon stick or just a half-teaspoon of mace was to remove every jar from the cabinet, peering at the labels of each until the desired spice was located; then all of the removed spices had to be shoved back into the cabinet, and the door closed quickly so as to keep them from springing out. (Never mind the poor, unsuspecting soul who would open the cabinet next.)
As you might suspect, this was not a pleasant experience. My mother and I spent a lot of time devising new systems—none of which held.
But I really think my latest strategy, which was inspired by our new exclusive open-shelved, apothecary-style spice cubby from Peg and Awl, will work.
The idea is to corral the spices I use the most—and the spices I want to use more of—and set them out in plain sight for easy access. I'll put homemade, mortar-and-pestle-ground spice blends there, too; keeping them where I can see them will make me actually use them, instead of getting all excited about them and then losing them to the depths of the spice cabinet.
Here are a few ideas for sugar and spice blends to keep within reach:
To make, combine about 1 teaspoon flavoring for every 1/4 cup sugar or salt. Mash lightly in a mortar & pestle to release the flavors.
- Cardamom pods + ground cinnamon sugar for stirring into coffee or sprinkling onto caramels
- Tomato salt to put on radishes, eggs, and the rim of your Bloody Mary
- Lemon peel sugar for sweetening tea
- Star anise sugar to sprinkle over yogurt, rice pudding, or a pot of mulling wine or cider
- A furikake-inspired salt, with nori + sesame + Korean red pepper, to toss with popcorn, rice, tofu, or roasted vegetables
- Matcha salt for bringing color and brightness to popcorn, fish, and stir-fries

Madden Mobile Hack Is It Worth It?
October 17, 2017 Chery Comments Off on Madden Mobile Hack Is It Worth It?
We are fully aware of why you are concerned about the concept of having to use a hack for a video game. Some people love using hacks, but others are rightly suspicious. And if you feel that you are in this category, we are here to tell you that you are being cautious and that is a good thing. But we can also tell you that when we tell you about the madden mobile hack, you will come to realize there are no downsides to using this piece of software along with the madden mobile game that you have purchased for your device.
If you have opened up that game, you will see that if you want to use top players within the game, you have to buy them onto your team. And you can only do that when you have the right number of coins. This is a little bit unfortunate, and we can understand why you are feeling a little bit let down about the whole process. But we can also understand that you are probably thinking about ways around this process. There are two things you can do. you can either accept it will take ages to get those players, or you can use the hack.
For those who enjoy the challenge, we can see why you will not use the hack. And that is a very fair stand to have. You will just grind the game, and you will earn those top players, and it will feel so good when they are finally on your team. But not everyone has that mindset. Some of us just want a game that is fun, and we want to use those top players right away. We do not want to wait months before we can finally have Drew Brees or Tom Brady as the starting QB in our team. We want these guys now!
And thanks to the hack, it is possible. All you have to do is use the hack that you can download from the linked site, put it onto your device, open it up, and let the hack work its magic. That is it. There is no complicated process, you do not have to pay or enter any information about yourself, and you will get all of those coins into your account. This is precisely how we think that hacks should work!
Another wonderful aspect of this hack is how you can get the unlimited madden 18 coins as many times as you want. Say you got 100,000 coins and you spend them in a few weeks. Now you want more for other players or some in form that just came out. All you have to do is get the latest version of the hack, and follow the same process. You need the latest version because the madden 18 game is regularly updated, and the older hack version may not work with the newly updated game. But the updated hack will work 100 percent, and you will be all set!

Ding Dong.
I open the door smiling ear to ear. "Welcome, come on in."
I wave toward the entryway, and you step in with a few others who've gathered at the door.
I look back to my yellow Labrador, "Finn, stay." He acknowledges the command. "Good boy." His tail sweeps the floor in quick successions as his body sways with happiness for new guests at our home.
One in the group is taken by Finn and pets him on the head. Finn responds eagerly by the tail wagging double time.
The rest of the group follows me into the kitchen where I have a banquet finger food and dips displayed. Drinks are set off to the side to suit anyone's fancy from beers to wines, and sodas.
"Please help yourselves and enjoy." I pick up my wine glass and toast the newcomers. My husband, Handsome, comes from behind me wraps his arms around me and squeezes.
"More visitors?" He whispers in my ear.
I nod affirmatively.
"It's about time." He replies.

It's my goal to be able to become a full-time writer, but for now, I juggle with my day job and all the responsibilities of being a Wife and Mother. I will post to the blog twice a month, so check back as you can or subscribe to my blog (see in the footer). I will be posting about what I am working on, my writing process, and other pop culture type topics. If there is a particular item you're jonesing for, please let me know in the comments below.
