NES Basic and NES asm. Write your game in Basic, use NES Basic to convert it to Assembly language and assemble it with NES ASM, and you have your ready to run NES ROM, how cool is that!? :) /spot nesasm -- a 6502 assembler with specific NES support This is a re-packaging of the nesasm assembler, so that nbasic users can have it readily available to them. nesasm is part of the MagicEngine MagicKit, for NES and TG16 development. The URL for the MagicKit homepage is below. http://www.magicengine.com/mkit/ The sources in this archive have been unchanged from the assembler provided with MagicKit 2.51. The makefiles have been altered some, however, to build the targets more easily for my tastes. Binaries are in separate directories for each platform, and you may use the source to build for a different platform if necessary. Note that in some cases, you may need to make the binary executable: chmod +x nesasm Depending on your platform, you may also need to specify the working directory to run the program ./nesasm I recommend that you put the nesasm binary in your system's bin directory. -Bob Rost author of nbasic and Sack of Flour rrost+nes()andrew.cmu.edu

Are All Governments Socialist?
When it comes to governments, it's not a question of if, but of how muchDetails
When it comes to governments, it's not a question of if, but of how muchDetails
We are talking about standing firm against unwarranted, unconstitutional and illegal acts.Details
The standard charge is that nullification will lead to a destruction of the American system. But that's not true. Read why.Details
Unless we turn things around, we can no longer claim to be the Constitutional Republic that our founders gave to us and that generations of proud Americans fought to protect.Details
Freedom is not outdated, federal government is an agreement among the people of different sovereign states, the 10th Amendment has never been repealed, and virtue is still necessary for securing our posterity's future rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.Details
Sunday-by-Sunday, pastors prostitute themselves to wealthy contributors, community leaders, or politicians. Day-by-day, unscrupulous bankers and businessmen give the shaft to honest, hardworking Americans. And almost hour-by-hour, politicians sell their souls to the highest bidder–even if that bidder represents values and principles that would destroy freedom and liberty in our land.Details
A constitution does not create freedom. A constitution is created only to protect and secure freedom which already exists, through forms, structure and limitations of government.Details
Does it not seem wrong that the mere few hundred politicians in the Federal Government have the power to control 300 million people?Details
The role of our American government has been blurred, bent, and breached. The rights endowed to us by our creator must be restored.Details
We're experiencing a fundamental shift in national priorities – in the form of a rapid and pervasive expansion of government power over the private sector of the economy.Details
In order to qualify for federal dollars, states frequently have to pass laws that expand their reach and authority. And they often need to continue to pay for new programs after federal funding is phased out. Short run money that appeared "free" often ends up becoming a long run obligation to state taxpayers in the end.Details
An observer of history and these current events cannot help but draw strikingly similar comparisons to America's political struggles during the early to mid-1800s, where there was a serious threat to our original form of constitutional government by the Centralists of that day.Details
The Constitution. Every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses.

- People still died from botched appendectomies in 1937-- My cousin Gladys Worden, aged 22, died 11 days after her surgery, suggesting, (to me anyway), the cause was infection. Her obit read in part, She was a graduate of Manchester High School and had been a member of the Hawaiian Serenaders, a group of women musicians who had entertained frequently in this city and surrounding places. Funeral from the home Saturday, burial Brookside.
|Baby Gladys with sister Inez
- Great Grandfather Carlton Warner had 3 wives in 17 years-- I've written about first wife Maggie Power before. She died of septicemia 6 years after her marriage to Carlton after losing 2 sons and giving birth to my Grandfather. His second wife was Mary Ferguson, she passed away on their 8th wedding anniversary after a "long illness", leaving Carlton with 4 more children, all little girls. The final wife, who outlived Carlton was Mildred Wheeler, with whom Carlton had 5 more children.
- Infant mortality rates-- This one is a heart-breaker, Catherine White Ryan, my 3rd great aunt gave birth to 6 children, all but 2 died in infancy and only 1 outlived her. My 3rd great aunt Ellen Power Mahoney had even worse luck, Ellen had 9 children, only 1 survived infancy!
- Cousin Ella Ryan died in 1915 of alcohol abuse-- After her husband left her and 1 year after her daughter died, Ella drank herself to death. But it gets sadder, Ella's daughter Blanche didn't just die, she committed suicide. From her obit-- Mrs. Blanche Zorsch, 23 years old, who sent a bullet into her right side yesterday morning, died in St. Mary's Hospital at 3:30 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Zorsch had been separated from her husband. She resided at 391 Seward Street, while Mr. Zorsch had been living with his parents... yesterday Mrs. Zorsch sent for her husband. When he arrived at the house he found his wife lying on a bed with a bullet wound in her right side. A 32-caliber revolver was lying on the bed.
- My mother's face-- This photo was taken of my Mother at age 8, not long after her own Mother had been fatally injured before her eyes in her own kitchen by a kerosene explosion. My Mother has now passed on too, but this photo of her haunts me. Every time I look at it I wish I could hug that little girl and take the sadness from her eyes.

This is an introduction to the tutorial,
Complete reference – HTML Email Newsletter
Where you will find all useful tutorials related to development of HTML email newsletters.
HTML Email Newsletter Development, itself says the proceedings. Development of Newsletters that are modified and made compatible for the use of transferring through electronic devices that run World Wide Web on them – what we call really as Internet.
With an electronic device and Internet access for them we should be good to go.
Let me come to the basics of Newsletter!
Newsletter transferred electronically through email clients may be for different purpose or reasons. They can be for commercial use or also may be for personal use. When we talk about Newsletter, it comes to our mind that they are most probably commercial – for commercial purpose unless we are fed by some donated money.
So, well we will talk about Newsletters commercially – It means some communicating copy or designs sent to customers to satisfy, please or order – and also notify them with updated Notifications time to time with the most happening things around them that they won't be aware off.
So, what will those communicative things contain within them, what they can hold along with them when transferred electronically to a customer.
Typically, a commercial Newsletter will be from a commercial retailer, wholesaler or might be from somewhere else online as well.
Let us consider online shopping website and it has 100 customers made purchases in the last Christmas season. Also, let us consider – this is again the Christmas Eve this year and the shopping website wants all of its previous customers to be back again shopping.
So, the man responsible will likely be triggering out Email Newsletters to all of his customers showcasing some of his latest product hit list and putting along some hot offers as well to attract the customers back.
Here we go with a clear picture, A typical Email Newsletter might contain:
Apart from this, an Accessibility section at the top and Legal section at the very bottom.
The above listed contents will be a Simple and a Professional looking Newsletter. So this is just saying what it contains – but when practically it is put up with graphics around them, It will be fun to work with and play around.
So, Techies here we go – Creating a Professional looking Newsletter design and developing them to HTML. So that they can be transferred over the internet through the means of various Email Domains.
Please watch out for the tutorial on creating an HTML email newsletter.

Our wilderness is under an unprecedented attack from Trump and anti-conservationists in Congress. Help us fight back.
And I was fortunate enough to backpack through this exceptional area in the summer of 2005, enjoying a lovely lunch on a bridge overlooking roaring Thunder Creek.
Recently I visited my first Wilderness Study Area, Little Book Cl
September has always been a critical month for America's wild lands. The Wilderness Act was signed into law on September 3, 1964 and National Public Lands Day falls at the end of September.
Multiple flood events have made the Suiattle River road impassable, extremely limiting opportunities to explore some of the best hikes, lakes and peaks of Glacier Peak Wilderness, such as iconic Image Lake and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.
Sadly, the answer is always the same. Because of Alaska's remoteness and lack of infrastructure, and Shell's inadequate technology, the company would recover very little – if any – spilled oil.
Former industrial sites provide some of the best opportunities for energy development and can help revitalize local economies while reducing pressure to develop renewable energy on public lands, including some of America's wild places.
Alaska is renowned for some of the most beautiful, wild scenery in the world. A land of epic wildlife migrations and vast undeveloped wilderness, Alaska truly is the nation's last, great wild frontier.
While the forest service's proposal to increase the pace of restoration is a good start, it does not go far enough.
The technology to operate safely and recover significant amounts of spilled oil in such a harsh environment simply doesn't exist.
Does a shift in multiple use toward preservation and recreation mean lower economic potential for rural communities? Not at all, say several recent economic reports. In fact, preserving the natural values of wildlands and sustainable recreation brings big benefits to local economies.

HI everyone,
I have made for you today a mixed media canvas, I used only the Scrapiniec chipboard gesso, modelling paste, some random flowers, a couple of stamps I have in my stash and twinkling h2os for this one. I really wanted to make something using very limited products. Often I look at all my products and forget I don't have to use them all all the time its ice to really limit yourself once in a while.

Though "HD" is a fixture in our digital-age parlance, rest assured the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD does not, in fact, involve a television. In this case we're talking about heavy duty. The Silverado 2500HD is a true workhorse meant for big-league towing and hauling tasks, even if the latest model does offer an HD-quality 8-inch touchscreen.
Indeed, the current-generation Silverado 2500HD offers the iconic truck's nicest interior yet. For years, Chevy trucks were rebuked for lackluster cabins filled with hard plastics and poor fit and finish, but this criticism now only applies to earlier 2500HD models. Nonetheless, it will always be this truck's durability and tremendous workaday capabilities that keep generations of loyalists coming back to the gold bowtie. For a heavy-duty pickup, new or used, it's hard to go wrong with the Silverado 2500HD.
Current Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
A heavy-duty pickup with extreme payload and towing capacities, the current Silverado 2500HD is available in four trims: Work Truck (WT), LT, LTZ and High Country. Like its lighter-duty counterpart, the Silverado 1500, the 2500HD is available in regular-, double-, or crew-cab body styles, with a long (8 feet) or standard (6.6 feet) cargo box, and rear- or four-wheel drive.
A 6.0-liter V8 with 360 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque comes standard. A "bi-fuel" option allows this V8 to also run on compressed natural gas (CNG), with CNG output dropping to 301 hp and 333 lb-ft. Either way, a six-speed automatic transmission handles the shifting. The available diesel engine is a 6.6-liter Duramax V8 (445 hp, 910 lb-ft) paired with a beefier Allison six-speed automatic transmission.
Double- and crew-cab body styles are available at all trim levels, while the regular cab is only available in Work Truck and LT trims, and only with the long bed. True to name, the Work Truck comes with the basics: 17-inch steel wheels, vinyl upholstery and rubber floors, a 40/20/40-split front bench, cruise control, manual crank windows and a four-speaker audio system (double- and crew-cab models get a six-speaker system). Options are largely grouped in packages and include remote keyless entry, remote locking tailgate, rearview camera, a 110-volt power outlet, and Chevy's MyLink infotainment system with 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi hotspot, satellite radio, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is optional.
The LT adds most of the WT's options as well as 17-inch alloy wheels, tinted glass, heated power mirrors, the "EZ-Lift and Lower" remote locking tailgate, cloth upholstery, HD radio and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The LTZ trim comes with 18-inch wheels, foglights, extended chrome trim, an automatic locking rear differential, a power-sliding rear window, towing preparation, leather upholstery (with optional power front bucket seats), heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera and an 8-inch MyLink touchscreen.
The High Country package, meanwhile, emulates rival high-end models with 20-inch wheels, side steps, a spray-in bedliner, saddle-brown leather and basically every premium feature on the order list. The High Country also comes with high-tech safety options like lane-departure warning and forward-collision alert.
Some of the fancier standard features can be added to lower trims as options, while other extras include power-adjustable pedals, front and rear parking sensors, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a heated steering wheel, Bose audio and the Z71 Off-Road package with special suspension components.
Powered by its 6.0-liter V8, the Silverado HD can tow up to 14,500 pounds or 14,800 with a fifth-wheel prep package. A stronger Duramax 6.6-liter diesel V8, new for 2017, shares similar tow ratings except when equipped with a fifth-wheel gooseneck, in which case it can tow up to 18,100 pounds.
Used Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Models
The current-generation Silverado debuted in 2015 with a marked improvement in the quality of interior materials and assembly. It featured upgraded technology like an 8-inch touchscreen to control phone and media functions, sophisticated driver assistance and safety features, and a quieter cabin. A roomier double-cab model with front-hinged doors replaced the previous generation's extended-cab model and its rear-opening doors.
For 2016, the 2500HD offered an optional MyLink 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Upper trims introduced an advanced steering assist system while a fifth-wheel gooseneck and trailering prep package joined the options list. Wireless phone charging and a remote locking tailgate also became available.
Engines carried over from the previous generation, although the diesel V8 got a power boost for model year 2017.
The previous-generation Silverado 2500HD was produced for the 2007-'14 model years with either rear- or four-wheel drive. The standard engine was a 6.0-liter V8 initially rated at 353 hp and 373 lb-ft of torque, while the optional 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 made 365 hp and 660 lb-ft. The gas V8 inched up to 360 hp and 380 lb-ft for 2010, while the Duramax was overhauled for 2011 with 397 hp and 765 lb-ft. All 2500HD models of this generation were equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, but the diesel got a stronger one (not that the standard unit was exactly a weakling) with manual-shift control.
For 2013 and '14 only, buyers could add a bi-fuel option that allows the 6.0-liter V8 to run on either gasoline or CNG. When operating with CNG, power output drops to 301 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque.
This Silverado 2500HD offered three different cab designs — regular, extended and crew — until 2014, when the extended cab was dropped. The extended cab utilized a traditional "clamshell" design with reverse-opening rear doors. There were three trim levels: Work Truck, LT and LTZ. The Work Truck started with basics like manual accessories and vinyl seating, though air-conditioning was also made standard as of 2011. The LT added luxuries like chrome exterior trim, alloy wheels, full power accessories, cruise control, cloth upholstery and upgraded audio, with optional dual-zone automatic climate control and front bucket seats. The fancy LTZ threw in the LT's standard and optional features plus leather upholstery, Bose audio, keyless entry and ignition, an upgraded dashboard, heated power front seats and rear audio controls. Options included a rear-seat entertainment system, a sunroof, a navigation system and the Z71 Off-Road package.
In an Edmunds comparison test of heavy-duty pickups, the mechanically identical GMC Sierra HD of this generation came out on top against its Dodge and Ford competitors. Though we found its cabin less inviting than the others, recent revisions to the frame, suspension and diesel engine proved hard to beat. As such, a used Silverado 2500HD from this era makes for a great used truck. Its capabilities remain formidable, and depreciation can deliver one to your driveway for a fraction of what it cost new.
Even though its appearance remained largely unchanged, this 2500HD saw some significant changes during its run. The 2011 model received a stronger, fully boxed frame, beefier suspension components and additional electronic aids, so that's something to keep in mind when looking at previous years. As noted above, the engines were also updated along the way. Other changes were minor, including an optional rearview camera for 2009 and hard-drive-based functionality for the navigation system in 2011.
The preceding Silverado 2500HD was sold from 2001 to 2006 in configurations much like those of its successors. It lived on for one additional year in '07 as the "Classic." These trucks came in standard, Work Truck (after 2003), LS and LT trim levels. The standard engine was a 6.0-liter V8 that made 300 hp and 360 lb-ft of torque. There were two optional engines: an 8.1-liter gasoline V8 producing 340 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque and a 6.6-liter turbodiesel producing 300 hp and 520 lb-ft. This diesel was upgraded in 2006 for more power (360 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque), added refinement and fewer emissions. These engines carried over for the Classic.
A five-speed manual transmission was standard with the 6.0-liter V8, with a four-speed automatic optional. The 8.1-liter V8 and the 6.6-liter diesel came with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic, which became a six-speed for 2006.
As with subsequent Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD models, we were impressed at the time by this generation's powerful engine lineup and substantial towing and hauling abilities. It was a reasonably comfortable truck for everyday use, but it predictably lacked the plush ride of its light-duty siblings. Any of the three available engines will provide capable acceleration and ample towing power, but the diesel V8 is the best choice for those who tow heavy loads — especially the more powerful Duramax from '06. Our principal beef concerned the subpar interior design, materials and build quality. Chevy improved the Silverado gradually during its lifespan, including notable updates for '03, but it was never quite up to snuff.
Prior to this, Chevrolet heavy-duty pickups ran from 1988-2000 and were simply known as the 2500 (3/4-ton) and 3500 (1-ton). In keeping with tradition, one could choose either rear-wheel drive (indicated by a "C", e.g. "C2500") or four-wheel drive (indicated by a "K"). Trim levels for these C/K2500 trucks included the base Cheyenne and top-line Silverado, which changed to base and LS for 1999. Strengths of these trucks include strong, durable powertrains, while weaknesses center on sketchy build quality and materials within the cabin.

I sure know how to pick 'em…
So without having heard anything about Ojon's new Rare Harvest Tunu Elastik Hair Tamer, I picked it up on a whim during a recent trip to Sephora. Ojon has yet to disappoint me, so I took a chance on this $25 leave-in hair relaxer/de-frizzing balm.
Here's what the package promised:
* imparts a soft, flexible smoothness to all hair types
* naturally seals the cuticle to stay sleek
* eliminates frizz caused by humidity
* provides a moisture barrier
* formulated without alcohol and silicone
* perfect for all hair types – straight, curly, permed, or relaxed
Does it deliver? You betcha! I took the bottle to Erik, my hairstylist, when I went to the salon yesterday evening. We were both surprised by how smooth and glossy my hair was after blowdrying – and its gel/mousse hybrid texture doesn't weigh my fine hair down. Best of all, it's snowing/sleeting/freezing raining here in Philly – but you wouldn't know it to look at my hair. Even one of my co-workers remarked this morning. My hair has been looking seriously jacked up for weeks…so I was super excited to get a compliment – you don't even know. I was doing the happy dance. And I have Ojon (and Erik) to thank.
Bottom line: Go get this stuff right now. It's $23.50 on QVC, but if you buy it at Sephora and you don't like it for whatever reason, returning it is a breeze. But chances are you won't return it, cuz I know you're gonna love it!

I'm following a blog meme going around just now, in which you write 100 pieces of fan fiction, all in your favorite fandom, and each one has to incorporate one of 100 themes or prompts. I chose Charles Dickens' works and decided to add my own twists to it as well: mine will each be exactly 100 words, and they will each be from the POV of a minor character in one of Dickens' books.
Prompt #22: Enemies.
Barsad, A Tale of Two Cities
He'd been had by that scoundrel lawyer twice now. If ever there was a man who ought to have his head chopped off by that infernal guillotine, it was that scoundrel lawyer. After the first time, Barsad would have been glad to hand him over. After the second time, he would have done the deed himself. And now here he was watching that scoundrel lawyer head for that infernal guillotine in a rickety tumbrel, and here he was quelling the cheers around him. Didn't seem right, that his enemy had become the man he most admired. Just didn't seem right.

Derek Theler & Jean-Luc Bilodeau Dish on New Season of 'Baby Daddy'
Derek Theler and Jean-Luc Bilodeau erupt with laughter during their visit to the AOL Build Series in New York City on Wednesday (August 31).

Dogs should not eat raw meat due to the risk of infection with harmful bacteria. Salmonella and Escherichia coli are just two of the bacterial organisms that may contaminate raw foods.Continue Reading
If a dog eats raw meat contaminated by Salmonella bacteria, he can develop salmonellosis. This infection may cause a pregnant dog to miscarry her puppies spontaneously. Salmonellosis may also cause septicemia, a bacterial infection of the blood, or gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the intestinal tract. The symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, dehydration, weight loss and abnormal heart rate. A dog with salmonellosis may need fluid therapy to treat dehydration or corticosteroids to prevent shock.
A dog infected with E. coli may develop some of the same symptoms as one infected with Salmonella. Dehydration is a concern because of the fluid and electrolyte loss associated with ongoing vomiting and diarrhea. If the bacteria infects the dog's urinary tract, there may be blood in the urine. Cleaning a dog's food dishes daily, washing the floors regularly, and giving a dog cooked meat instead of raw meat may help prevent E. coli infection. Some bodies of water have high levels of E. coli, so it is also important to keep dogs from swimming in contaminated lakes, streams and rivers.Learn more about Dogs

Prairie Archaeology & Research, in association with Goatee Train Productions, has produced a short video introducing the changing design and planning of American cemeteries over the last 150 years.
Journey with us as we explore early American family plots, urban cemeteries occupying confined, rapidly expanding areas, rural cemeteries with room to grow, to the well-groomed lawn and park cemeteries common today.
Running Time: 6 min 12 sec
The result was three large digital paintings and accompanying descriptive text to be used at informational kiosks at the site. PAR's graphic illustrator, Jason Rein, digitally painted village life onto composites of 3D background renderings and point-of-view photographs taken at the site. Joseph Craig, in coordination with Hal Hassen of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, produced the text to describe each scene. The John Chapman site is significant for its evidence of contact between, and merging of, Late Woodland and Mississippian-era cultures.
PAR's video placed in the top three at a film festival jointly sponsored by the Society for American Archaeology and the National Geographic Society.
From over 70 national and international entries, PAR's 78th Street Site video was one of three videos recognized at the annual meeting of the Society For American Archaeology in St. Louis, Missouri on April 16, 2010.
Production of the video is the result of a collaborative effort by Prairie Archaeology & Research principal archaeologist Joseph Craig and graphic artist and videographer Jason Rein. The video is narrated by Thomas Craig, who was a 7th grade student in Chatham, Illinois at the time of production.
"Professionally, archaeologists have a vested interested in making the past pertinent to the present," states Joseph Craig, "and using dramatic digital effects and non-traditional media outlets such as YouTube helps capture the public's imagination."
Regarding the recent award, Craig states, "It is humbling to be recognized on a national level and encourages us to continue to look for opportunities to include the 'public' in Public History."

By Stephanie Nebehay
GENEVA (Reuters) - The U.N. human rights chief called for an international inquiry into war crimes committed by both sides during Sri Lanka's civil war, saying the government had failed to do its own credible investigation.
In a much anticipated report ahead of a U.N. Human Rights Council debate next month that could order action on the issue, Navi Pillay on Monday recommended an "independent, international inquiry mechanism, which would contribute to establishing the truth where domestic inquiry mechanisms have failed".
U.S. plans to propose a resolution against Sri Lanka at the meeting and Pillay's report, based on her visit to the country last August, add to pressure on the government.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa's administration, in 18 pages of comments as long as Pillay's report, rejected the recommendations as "arbitrary, intrusive and of a political nature".
Many thousands of civilians were killed, injured or remain missing after the 25-year conflict between government forces and separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in the north of the island that ended in May 2009, Pillay said in her report to the Geneva forum.
She said there had been little progress in establishing accountability for "emblematic" wartime crimes, including the January 2006 killing of five students on a beach and the execution of 17 aid workers later that August.
"None of these cases has ... resulted in the perpetrators being brought to justice," she said.
Conclusions of a national Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission have been rejected or ignored, such as its finding that the army was responsible for shelling civilian areas, Pillay said.
Her report did not just direct criticism to the government, but also suggested Tamil Tiger rebels ought to be investigated for any involvement in some of the incidents.
"The High Commissioner (Pillay) is also concerned that legal proceedings have not begun against any LTTE suspect for alleged war crimes or other human rights abuses," the report said.
The report also focused on allegations of abuses after the end of the conflict, although the government says the country is on the path to reconciliation helped by fast economic growth.
It drew attention to concerns that women were vulnerable to sexual harassment and violence when there was a heavy military presence, such as in the northern Tamil heartland, an allegation rejected by Sri Lankan government.
The government said its survey covering 2007-2012 had shown that a majority of the reported incidents of sexual violence in the north were carried out by close relatives or neighbors and "only a very few could be attributed to the security forces".
Pillay also voiced concern at rising attacks by Buddhist monks on minority Muslims and Christians and at harassment of activists, lawyers and journalists.
Pillay said she had received information on 280 incidents of threats and violence against Muslims and 103 against Christians in 2013 alone.
Rejecting the numbers cited, the government said there had been "sporadic incidents focusing on places of worships of all four religions" and it was erroneous to note that there has been a significant surge in attacks against religious minorities.

Tackles any terrain in the backcountry.
The Endeavor Snowshoe is certainly the most versatile backcountry snowshoe in Atlas' lineup. By blending a traditional foredeck with a PVC-free composite aft construction, the Endeavor handles hardpack and soft snow with ease. Reactiv-Trac works with the V-Frame to ensure a stable core and a flexible nose for high-performance on uneven trails. Spring-Loaded Suspension lets your foot move freely for a natural stride in technical terrain. The Endeavor also features a Holey-1 toe crampon for additional security when the icy trails steepen. The PackFlat binding lives up to its name when packed away, and the Heel Lift bar raises up to lessen calf fatigue on the steeper sections.

Do you offer a snow shoe bag for atlas endeavor 28" snow shoes?
Great product but....
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Unfortunately, I came here to warn other folks of ordering this product from this site. Upon delivery of my $197.00 snowshoes I realized exactly why shipping and handling is FREE. My snowshoes were thrown unbound and unpacked inside of a box that could easily have fit 4 more pairs of snowshoes inside. I got my "brand new" snowshoes entirely scratched up and lord knows how many times they were thrown about from delivery truck to delivery truck. Come on, I spent money on a new product! Even a little bit of shipping peanuts would have been enough for me. Truly wish I would have spent the extra $20.00 and bought from REI.
Thank you SO much for your feedback.
I passed this on to our Outbound Supervisor in our warehouse and he will be coaching his team and the individual who packed your snowshoes so we can provide better service in the future.
Thank you again for your feedback.
A Customer Service representative will be contacting you shortly to get a new pair sent your way, we apologize for the frustration and disappointment!
Just received atlas 12 women's snowshoes for my wife....Great product,price, packaging and shipping. FIVE STARS FOR BACKCOUNTRY...bought the men's version for myself but had to go another vendor for my size and paid $30 more...atlas very good!

Date: Oct. 6 at Fayetteville, Ark.
Coach: John L. Smith will serve as the interim coach after Bobby Petrino was fired following revelations that he hired a former girlfriend/mistress for a position in the football department. Smith was 83-43 as head coach at Utah State, Louisville and Michigan State. He was an assistant at Arkansas under Petrino before briefly taking the head coaching job at Weber State. He returned to Arkansas when Petrino was fired.
Offense: Eight starters return from a high-powered unit that led the Southeastern Conference in scoring last season, averaging 36.8 points per game. Back is quarterback Tyler Wilson, and the Razorbacks hope to have running back Knile Davis, who sat out last season after ankle surgery. He led the SEC in rushing with 1,322 yards in 2010. But an important piece is not back. That's Petrino, who coordinated the offense and was one of the nation's best coaches on that side of the football.
Defense: Six starters return from a unit that was just ninth in total defense last year in the SEC. Linebacker Alonzo Highsmith leads the way for new defensive coordinator Paul Haynes, who came to Fayetteville from Ohio State. Haynes coordinated the Arkansas defense in the Cotton Bowl and the Razorbacks held Kansas State to just 87 yards rushing. The Wildcats averaged 185.5 on the season.
Overall: Expectations are high but so are the distractions after Petrino's sudden and messy departure. Smith's familiarity with the job and the personnel should help and he has the experience of being a head coach. But the Arkansas offense is sure to miss Petrino's play calling.
Series: Kentucky is 4-2 against Arkansas since the Razorbacks entered the league in 1992. UK has won the last two meetings, including a 21-20 victory over Petrino and the Hogs in 2008. That was the last meeting between the two teams. John L. Smith was 2-3 against Kentucky during his five years at Louisville.
Schedule: The biggest game for the Razorbacks is Sept. 15 when defending national champ Alabama comes to Fayetteville. Arkansas finishes the season with road games at South Carolina and Mississippi State before coming home to play LSU.

Imprisoned in Iran
Americans Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal were detained by Iranian authorities on July 31, 2009, while hiking along the Iran-Iraq border, and accused of spying. After more than a year in captivity, Shourd was released in September due to health problems. Bauer and Fattal, meanwhile, could reportedly be released within a "couple of days," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sept. 13, 2011.
Alex Fattal says his brother Josh is a "very resilient guy," an environmentalist who taught sustainable living skills while in the United States. But for the last two years, Josh Fattal's own survival has been tested as he remains in an Iranian prison on charges of espionage.
Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer, both 29, have been detained since July 2009, when they were arrested by Iranian forces on the country's unmarked border with Kurdistan as they hiked during a vacation. A third hiker, Bauer's fiancée Sarah Shourd, 33, was also arrested but was released in September 2010 after 410 days in solitary confinement. She has refused to return to Iran for trial.
On Friday, two days before the men are due to have their final hearing in an Iranian court on espionage charges, supporters of Fattal and Bauer will hold a rally demanding their release outside the Iranian Mission to the United Nations in New York City.
"We just want to send a very clear message that we are ready for this to be over," Alex Fattal told FoxNews.com. "The theme is two years too long -- they never should've been detained in the first place."
Both men deny the charges, claiming they were only hiking in a scenic area near northern Iraq. Their attorney, Masoud Shafiei, told The Associated Press last month that he had been notified of the July 31 hearing, but added that he had not been able to meet with Bauer and Fattal in recent months and hoped to do so prior to the hearing.
"Knowing Josh, he's a very resilient guy," Alex Fattal said. "But this is a test that nobody should have to endure. Two years in isolation is very difficult. Many people in the mental health field say this type of isolation can cause long-term psychological damage, so we're worried."
In May, relatives of Bauer and Fattal said the men called their families by telephone -- the first phone call since last November.
"That's a long time ago," Alex Fattal said. "We continue to be very worried about them. This has taken a terrible toll on our families and on Josh and Shane."
Iranian authorities have said they expect to make a final decision in the case by late August. But that's simply not good enough for Alex Fattal, who wants the family's "nightmare" to end immediately.
"The only thing that's clear is they're innocent and they have a lot to contribute to this world," he told FoxNews.com. "It's time for our families to be whole again. There's absolutely no reason for this nightmare to continue. Hopefully on Sunday, that'll be the case."

Kylie Minogue can kiss EMI good-bye.
Universal Music Group won regulatory approval for its $1.9 billion purchase of EMI — but only after it agreed to sell a third of the acquired assets including Parlophone Records, which represents Minogue, Coldplay and David Bowie, among others.
In the US, the Federal Trade Commission approved the deal without conditions. But European regulators concerned about industry concentration demanded Universal make sizeable divestitures.
Nevertheless, Universal Chief Lucian Grainge said he had no regrets despite the loss of iconic labels such as Parlophone, Chrysalis and Virgin Classics. On the plus side, Universal will add artists ranging from the Beach Boys to Frank Sinatra to Lady Antebellum to its roster.
"We've acquired two-thirds of EMI," he said. "We'd have preferred to have kept Parlophone and all the artists associated with them. We had a robust and pragmatic series of discussions and we are where we are."
Universal also agreed to not seek "most-favored nation" status — or special treatment — in its dealings with digital music services.
Now starts the tough business of making sure Vivendi-backed Universal can sell assets and get its money back. Universal must sell to companies with an established interest in the music business — a move aimed at helping smaller rivals bulk up.
Universal's Grainge also didn't rule out selling the assets to one of the most vocal critics of the deal, Warner Music Group, which was acquired by Russian-born billionaire Len Blavatnik.
"In terms of the iconic Parlophone, I'm completely open-minded," he said, before adding, "but I want a big check."
EMI boss Roger Faxon is also exiting after the deal. Faxon is believed to be receiving a multi-million dollar bonus for sticking around during the drawn-out process.

6 November 2012: Talks Continue for New Per-Course Instructors' Contract with MUN
Bargaining for a new Collective Agreement for Per Course Instructors resumed this past week for the first time since the parties exchanged proposals in mid-September.
The LUMUN team met with University representatives on November 5 and 6, 2012.
Unfortunately, no new articles were signed off, but productive discussion did take place on a number of articles, including Health and Safety, Duties and Responsibilities, Discipline and Discharge, Credit Courses, and Union Security.
Your Bargaining Team continues to work on developing our economic package, including proposals on wages, benefits, and pensions.
We're aware that our wages lag seriously behind comparable rates of pay in the MUNFA collective agreement. That's because we had only one wage increase in the 18 years before we formed a Union.
So despite hefty increases in our first contract, we continue to be paid substandard wages for the work we do at a University that says teaching is central to the values of MUN.
Per Course Instructors are worth more, and your Bargaining Team intends to make a wage proposal that fairly reflects our contribution to the University.
Further bargaining dates have yet to be established. A full report on bargaining will be provided at the LUMUN general membership meeting on Tuesday, December 4, 2012, from 7 to 9 p.m. in The Landing (UC 3018). We hope to see you there!
Your Bargaining Team:
Robert Lewis, President
Craig Cramm, First Vice-President
Dwight Hutchens, Second Vice-President
Martha Wells, Secretary
Gail Lem, PSAC Negotiator

"Where it's okay NOT to be okay"
Anxiety, bipolar, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, suicide—If you don't battle one or more of these conditions chances are you know someone who does. Statistics say that in Crow Wing county alone one out of every four adults battle some sort of mental illness yet very few services or programs exist, especially in the greater Crosslake area, to help people with these realities. It is for that reason that The Log Church has felt called and led to launch a comprehensive Mental Health Ministry for the greater Crosslake Community.
Let us be clear in stating two things up front. First, these services are NOT just for Log Church attenders nor do you have to be a church going person to utilize them. What we are offering is for for anyone and everyone!
Second, our programs, offerings and services will be continually changing and evolving. Check back often for updates. Also know we are always looking to add more ways to help people so if you know of something that could help others please send it our way!

Robbie McEwen Interview
Former yellow jersey wearer and triple winner of the Tour de France's green jersey sprinters' competition, Robbie McEwen, talks racing, training and what it takes to be a pro cyclist.
by Marion Pyrlik
I'm sitting at Piccolo's Cafe at Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast, in Queensland Australia, overlooking turquoise blue waves crested with a white frothy outline lapping the golden beach, appearing out of a seemingly still and endless ocean. Have I mentioned how good the coffee is yet? What better way to start the day…
The patronage is a mix of surf life savers, local people walking their dogs and holiday makers. But the cyclists are the overwhelming majority. There is a kaleidoscope of colourful bikes and lycra in and around the cafe. Seems that this is one of the number one destinations for cyclists to enjoy a brew and some breakfast to talk about their athletic prowess, on the ride they had just completed. And why not at Piccolo's, a cafe owned by Australia's very own Robbie McEwen.
This brings me to the main reason for my visit to Piccolo's today. I am here with Robbie to chat about his career as a Pro Cyclist. So to say I was a little nervous about meeting one of Australia's most successful cyclists of all time is understated. Perhaps I'll order another coffee.
Family man
Marion: "Hi Robbie, over 16 years as a Pro Cyclist, travelling back and forth between Australia and Europe must have been difficult. Was this hard being so far away from your family?"
Robbie: "No, most of the time we all lived in Europe and only travelled back to the Gold Coast in the cold Winter months."
Robbie met his wife Angelique in Brakel, which is a tiny little town in Belgium. This is also where Robbie and his family reside whilst in Europe. The couple have three children: eldest son Ewan and two daughters Elena and Claudia.
Robbie the rock star
I'm just about to ask Robbie another question when from out of nowhere a largish man, shuffling his young son in front of him, moves abruptly toward our table and intervenes:
Tourist: "Robbie McEwen is that you; are you Robbie? We have just come to the Gold Coast from Melbourne for a holiday and couldn't believe our luck when we saw you across from the other side of the cafe!"
Robbie politely confirms his identity, excuses himself from the interview momentarily and allows the overjoyed father and son a photo and chat.
Robbie: "I just got back from Melbourne myself," claims Robbie, "I have been in Victoria skiing. Whilst under contract in the team I was not allowed to enjoy past-times such as skiing or surfing for obvious reasons. Now that I'm retired I can participate in other interests such as these."
Robbie extends some additional time to the son, thanks them for stopping by and as if that didn't already make their day he discounts the price of a cycling jersey that hangs for sale in the cafe for the excited father and son who make their way back to their table.
Marion: "So how is life now that you're no longer a Pro Cyclist Robbie?"
Robbie: "Yes, the Tour of California last spring was my last race as a Pro. But I am still a part of Pro Cycling with my involvement with Orica Green Edge" (Orica Green Edge is the Australian based Pro Cycling Team). "My role here is to coach the sprinters and help manage the young riders get life into order whilst touring in Europe. Many young riders can't even do their taxes in Australia yet; so to manage that in Europe as well as other things people take for granted like opening bank accounts, etc… is a big help. Apart from that I do sometimes race now and again."
One of the races Robbie was alluding to is the Darren Smith Memorial Classic, which Robbie promotes. This race is held on the Gold Coast every year and is in memory of Robbie's former training partner who was killed 20 years ago in a tragic cycling accident. Every year since then, there is a charity bike race which draws some of the biggest names in Australian Cycling. We just had the 20 year anniversary last year which saw the Orica Green Edge Team race.
Sprint training
Marion: "So how does a sprinter train? Are there big differences between GC-riders (General Classification contenders) and Green Jersey contenders?"
Robbie: "Generally sprinters do less miles and more quality. They focus on strength and in particular explosive power. In Winter I do strength sessions (workouts in the Gym) three times per week. I have to maintain the strength all year so even in Summer I continue with several three weeks weight training blocks. On the bike I train like any pro, long and slow, intervals on flats and hills. But on top of those rides I also need to do much sprint training. Here I work on explosive power and longer sprints that aim to increase stamina.
Ideally, training in a group can achieve best results as boys are competitive. However, the best way to get into top shape is racing as that's where you learn to push and shove, defend your place in the peloton, find the right wheel and cross the finish line in first place!"
Marion: "You're defined as a cunning rider who is skilled at finding tiny gaps through the bunch to get the best run in a sprint."
Robbie smiles and admits, "I have been riding BMX races since I was 8 years old and have learnt very early to have good control over my bike. From time to time I may have created a gap that may not have been there prior" says Robbie with a cheeky grin on his face.
To put that into perspective allow me to explain what that actually entails. We're talking about the last crucial kilometers of a bike race where the absolute best Pro Cyclists in the World are riding as fast as they can, attempting to get to the finish line in first place or deliver a team mate into position to do so. In amongst the pushing and shoving, fighting for wheels and general mayhem of a bunch finish, there is Robbie McEwen weaving in and out of riders making his way through the bunch with exceptional skill. Watching this as a spectator looks difficult and believe me, it is more difficult than it looks.
"I also try to surprise my competitors," continues Robbie. "I didn't rely on routine such as following the train of my own team. Sometimes I went through with other teams or just made my own way. I have a good sense of where to be in the bunch and what wheel to follow and when to jump it. I can anticipate what will happen."
Training for the Tour de France
Marion: "Back to the preparation for such big races. How did you prepare for the Tour de France which you participated in 12 times and won the Green Jersey 3 times? Did you for example do many training camps?
Robbie: "Instead of training camps I prefer to do The Giro where we race in two weeks 2,000 hard kilometres. The second week is very mountainous. After the Giro I have a couple of easy weeks, and then I do the Tour of Switzerland. Another short recovery block follows after the Tour of Switzerland, then, just before the Tour de France I include a last short training block.
Marion: "Run me through your training in this crucial last training block, Robbie!"
Robbie: "I do for example 10 days of alternating intensity: One hard day then a recovery day. The hard day could be 180km on the bike, 100km of which is at race pace motor pacing behind a motor bike. By the end of this block I am completely exhausted but it's a necessary requirement to prepare for what lies ahead."
A day in the Tour de France
Marion: "Robbie, probably one question every cycling fan asks themself is; how on earth do you guys survive those three weeks of hell on wheels? Please describe a typical day in the Tour for me."
Robbie: "Well, breakfast is 8am, about three hours prior to the race, so the food is well digested. Me personally I get up just before 8am. Getting up is hell for me. Every morning I ask myself: how can I get my lame limbs out of bed onto the bike today? My breakfast is no different to at home, I mix up my own muesli, bread, coffee and of course Nutella (I love Nutella!), eggs and sometimes pasta.
After brekkie we go straight to the bus. We have a team meeting at the race location, conduct any interviews and then warm up.
Race start is normally around 11am. I stuff pancakes, little pizza pieces, ham and philadelphia cheese rolls and bread rolls with vegemite in my jersey and off I go."
Now most Australians are all too familiar with vegemite, nowadays most Americans too, but certainly not Europeans. My origins are from Europe; Germany to be precise, and I remember my first experience with Vegemite where I caked it on thickly as if it were Nutella. My Australian friends laughed as I bit into this sour, weird tasting paste that I found absolutely horrible. It is definitely an acquired taste and only requires a small application. I wouldn't imagine Robbie would have had too many requests from European riders to share his vegemite with them.
Robbie: "Depending on the length of the stage we finish between 4pm and 5pm. When there has been a sprint finish, I do a warm down, but if the race finished on a hill; my intensity is normally so low at the end that I don't need to warm down."
Robbie says this with a smile on his face as if to say, I don't even bother with the climbs other than to meet the obligatory race finish time to be allowed to start the next day …and let me assure you that in itself could not possibly be an easy thing to do despite Robbie's candid attitude to it.
Robbie: "Shower in the bus, team meeting, drive back to the hotel (most riders are sleeping by then) once back at the hotel there is a rush to be amongst the first to be massaged. Then dinner. I don't eat overly much, usually two main plates and a dessert. Not to forget the mandatory glass of wine."
Robbie informs me a glass of wine after dinner is actually recommended by team management as it has good anti-oxidants and calms the riders down.
"After dinner I like to have a short walk to digest the food and to keep blood in my legs as they become sore if I don't keep them moving. Then I pack my bag, watch a bit of TV and go to bed. I normally sleep like a stone – so say my team mates who often complain about my snoring when we wake up. Then next morning is groundhog day, same routine all over again – except of course on the road in the race where nobody knows what mood the peloton will be in."
7 minutes to overtake 190 riders
Marion: "Only one last question Robbie. Is there any moment in your career that is particularly special to you – a sweet triumph, so to say?
Robbie: "Ahhhh yes, that was the finish in Canterbury in 2007: 20km before the finish I had a bad crash where amongst other problems I suffered a fractured wrist. Only one team mate saw that I crashed, so the entire bunch had disappeared up the road. As soon as the word was out that I had crashed, the teams pushed the pace to ensure I would not be able to rejoin the peloton to contest the sprint. Despite this, my team mate Johan tried everything to get me back onto the peloton but it seemed we had already lost too much time and would therefore be an impossible task.
As it appeared senseless trying, I told Johan to give it up. Just at that moment we saw the rest of our team who had in the meantime been given the order by the Team Management to wait for me. This encouraged me as I did not want to let my team down. So the train began and I just put myself onto the wheel and held on. Then 6km before the finish we could see the tale of the peloton. Then I started calculating. I have roughly 7 minutes to overtake 190 riders – the numbers were against me!
I started to strategically move through the bunch one rider at a time. I used every advantage I could by using each rider in my way as an aid to sling shot me to the next one. I used my ability to create gaps to help me negotiate routes in and around riders, in fact soon I stopped seeing the riders and only saw the gaps, such is the concentration required.
Around 500 meters before the finish I was still only at about 20th position, which is clearly not good enough; furthermore the course really tightened up and the speed accelerated so I then started to lose positions again. There was one last corner before the bunch kick where all of the sprinters would make their attacks on the finish line. All of the sprinters except one. I decided my only chance was to attack before the corner and take the advantage of an early kick, which is just what I did. I caught the other sprinters by surprise and accelerated past them with an unbeatable advantage that resulted in an unlikely stage win by over a bike length."
A fairly appropriate ending to the interview I feel. What better way to illustrate one of Australia's best ever exports with an exciting and emotional race finish. I visualize the race over and over and never tire of it…
