Versatile head protection.
Camp USA's Speed 2.0 Helmet has your head covered whether you're climbing up a mountain or skiing down it. An in-mold construction pairs a tough polycarbonate shell with soft styrofoam to make this one of the lightest helmets in the world that's still ready for the impact. A back dial adjustment system accommodates beanies in winter and caps in summer. Camp USA also added twenty-two streamlined vents to ensure proper airflow.

Great for spring skiing
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've now got 100 or so days out with this helmet and it's become an essential part of my kit. I use it for backcountry skiing as it is light, fits well in my pack, and is comfortable in a number of configurations. I've thrown it on over a windshell hood (dorky, but works so well) and also tucked it under insulated jackets and hardshells for descents. I've found that smaller goggles didn't work so well whereas my Smith IOXs fit nicely. A really nice upgrade from a ski helmet for touring.

By far my favorite climbing helmet. I have been using a hard shell and finally decided to get this last year per Jared Downs (firstname.lastname@example.com). I use it climbing and split-board mountaineering. Its not the lightest on the market but, its pretty close and I feel like it offers a little more protection versus the lighter options. I have another friend that uses it and its saved him a few times.
Overall pretty comfortable fit for me. Doesnt sit to high but, higher than a BD option I tried once. Really great fit when you have to wear a beanie underneath it.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Purchased this helmet to replace my old Petzl... I did get to try it on a trip to Switzerland for some climbing: the fit is great, ventilation was much appreciated! Looking forward to backcountry skiing to try it.
Second One
Had the original, this one is even better. Light for those days when you don't want to carry anything extra. Use it mostly for ski touring, just wear it on the up and down.
Still Love it
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After last years fall I had to replace the helmet. Still the same great helmet with one improvement that I really like. Now the helmet has two back head lamp clips not shown in this picture. I had someone run to the warehouse and check our stock, and its the new one!
I know the picture isnt perfect but, I circled the clips in white if you wanted to know where they placed them.

Goggles work fine (if you know how)
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Goggles actually work pretty well on this helmet if you have the kind that have a clip strap - just run the strap through the two large goggle-strap sized vents in the back of the helmet and click inside (they won't touch your head because of the internal harness). it also helps to have silicon on the internal goggle strap. But the helmet is designed with no front vents so you can wear goggles on top during the ups (this is a skimo racing helmet after all) and they don't fog. Doesn't get better.
Fun in Ouray!
If you've got questions about this helmet or why I prefer this one to the BD Vapor or any other helmet out there, let me know.

Not goggle friendly
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I just returned this product. I purchased it because it was said to be a ski mountaineering helmet but there is no way to secure your goggle strap in the back. It has clips for a headlamp but they don't work for a goggle strap because the goggle strap wants to slide down as well as up. It would have taken so little to design the plastic plug in the back that secures the webbing to double as a goggle clip. Falls short on design for its intended use.
I use the CAMP 2.0 helmet routinely with goggles without issue. I recommend zip tying your goggle strap through the back vent holes to backup the clip, which is better suited for headlamps.
This should help.
A dome for on the roam
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Picked up the Speed 2 as a light, sleek helmet for skimountaineering and touring. Took it up today for the first test run. Usually, I only wear a helmet on the descent but today I wore it on the skin up as well. I didn't even notice I had the helmet it on. It held my BD Spot headlamp in place as well, although the clips are not the easiest to manipulate. The things I like the most is that the helmet's profile is great for going into my small 18L day pack I use for quick morning tours. I have used several other helmets and this one is the most pack friendly I have used thus far. Also, it easily goes under my down jacket or hard shell hood while easily taking a hat underneath it as well. The adjustable harness inside fits very well and holds it snug on the descent bumping over chossy early season snow. I definitely recommend it.
Great all-rounder
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Love this helmet (the original). Great protection while remaining super light. Versatile for most mountain/climbing adventures. No issues wearing a lightweight beanie and great compatibility with goggles.
Awesome picture Andy !!!
I selected this image to feature on the Community Hub at the bottom of the Backcountry homepage! Congrats on being amazingly GOATWORTHY !!
Light and fast
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Had the pleasure of going on CAMP USA's Adventure week with some of my Expert Gearhead comrades and the guys from CAMP threw all the gear out on the table(or the hood of a vehicle). We spent the whole week camping and climbing with a focus on fast and light, spending all of our time in the high alpine.
This helmet is the lightest and most comfortable helmet that I have used. Far an all day Alpine climb, Traditional day, Sport climbing, or a ski mountaineer race this is the ideal helmet. The fit allows for all day use and makes you forget that it is on.

I wanted the original version for years, but never pulled the trigger. Finally got my hands on the 2.0 and love it. I have been climbing in it for a few weeks now and it's the best fitting helmet I have used. I also have a Mammut El Cap that I like, but the Speed 2.0 feels better on my head.
The speed 2.0 is also designed for side and back impact where most other climbing helmets are not. I can't wait to get it on snow next winter.

Saved my Arse this weekend
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Last climb of the weekend and a poorly placed cam made me extremely thankful I was wearing this helmet. Its hard to speculate what would have happened without it but, I am pretty confident I wouldnt have walked away. Picture is of the cam that didnt make it through the incident. It was my 2nd piece of pro, 30 ft up, the first .4 held but, I still bounced on the ground even with a good belayer. Slapped the back of my head hard, totally worth the money for a helmet. Stuff happens, wear a helmet, your mother will be proud.

Shoot me an email anytime you have questions about this helmet or any other climbing gear!

Is wearing a beanie comfortable with this helmet? I wear a thin smart wool beanie for skiing. I appreciate all the photos in the mountains but not one person has a hat on under that thing :)
Hey Zion,
I've worn a beanie and a headband under this helmet and had no issues at all. Fit and comfort are unaffected. While the 2.0 version features a slightly different exterior, the fit is the same.

Is Ric Edelman good enough for the Financial Planning Association? For that matter, is the FPA good enough for Ric? The questions are stirring a fresh dustup between the outspoken financial advisor and the organization.
In an interview last Friday with financial writer Andrew Gluck, Edelman—host of the nationally syndicated radio program, The Truth About Money with Ric Edelman—says he quit the FPA after three years of fruitless effort to join the advisor group's board. The remarks came at the end of an hourlong discussion that focused on Edelman's plans to launch a new online investing service this fall. (Rep.'s Diana Britton wrote about it this week.)
"For three years, I tried to join the board of directors and I was told very specifically, very clearly, that they would not allow me on the board for the sole reason that I do not hold the CFP," Edelman (right) says in an interview, a recording of which Gluck posted on his website, Advisors4Advisors.com.
"The FPA made a decision a number of years ago to align with the CFP and CFP board, and made a distinction in their membership criteria that if you are not a CFP, you are not considered to be a financial advisor," Edelman continued. "You can be in the category of 'other,' such as vendors and students and other people in the industry, but you are not a financial advisor, according to the FPA, if you are not a CFP licensee."
He sounds irritated when he talks about his qualifications, which include top rankings as a financial advisor by Barron's, as a book author, and a personal finance instructor at Georgetown University—"but according to the FPA, I am not a financial advisor," he says.
"So I quit. And because I'm obnoxious and have an ego," he added with a flourish.
For the FPA's side, I e-mailed board President Paul Auslander. He wouldn't comment on discussions concerning board candidates, but he denied that the FPA requires board members to hold the certification—three current members don't have it, he says.
There's a big catch to that, though.
FPA bylaws state that three-quarters of the national board must hold a CFP, Auslander (below left) said. So if a candidate applied when one-quarter of the board lacked the certification, the board wouldn't consider non-CFP holders for vacancies.
Auslander went on to dispute Edelman's assertion that a CFP was a requirement for FPA recognition.
"We have several thousand members who do not hold the CFP mark and serve the financial planning profession in a variety of advisory or investment management capacities. We have repeatedly stated that many of those within financial services and allied industries are vital to supporting the overall financial planning profession and I/we would ask him to provide a single example of FPA stating you must be a CFP to be considered a financial adviser."
Edelman's dis on the FPA didn't end with his complaint about their handling of his board application.
"Most of the industry is focused on the industry—how we could we make more money, how can we reduce our regulatory burden, how we can make our lives easier," he told Gluck. "There doesn't seem to be much of a focus on our obligation to serve the community, employees, clients and the next generation. This kind of focus is why consumers don't like our industry."
Auslander said the FPA "is a professional membership organization first.
"However, we have clearly been able to make a significant mark in consumer education that is extremely evident in numerous pro bono and consumer initiatives we conduct (80+ percent of our chapters work with us on some type of consumer outreach program); partnerships which find ways to advance financial planning in the public (AARP, NAACP, military groups, national business associations, health care organizations, etc.); and educational tools, resources, Planner Q&A and tips, columns and more on FPAnet.org, which numbers in the tens of thousands of unique visitors each month," he wrote.
It's clear there are others in the industry that agree with Edelman about FPA; I wrote about the group's falling membership last week. It may also be that some of the FPA board found Edelman too abrasive.
Serving on boards, after all, requires equal measures of street smarts and diplomacy in order to be effective.

Tommy Page – I Can't Change The Way You Don't Feel lyrics
Hannah is dreaming
She's young once again
She stands with her brother
With thousands of men
Her head has been shaven
By a black uniform
She's one of God's children
That waits at the door
Tears on her pillow
She tightens her lips
Touches the number
Tattooed on her wrist
The sign says

So this week officially marked the end of summer as the first day of school came around on Tuesday. My girl was super chatty that morning (and has been every day after, actually) and didn't even put up too much of a fight when I snapped this pic. Yes, I realize she looks every bit of 22. Sigh...
It's been a long week of early mornings (hello, volleyball) and long evenings seeing as we also brought a new goat into the fold late last week. Meet Forrest!
Instead of forcing his hand (or hoof, as the case may be) like we did Bruiser, I decided to embark upon Operation Goat Bonding over the weekend. And, while he may appear to be smiling in this photo, I'm relatively certain he was more terrified than anything.
Soon, though, he got used to humans and has now officially become my very best friend on the planet. In fact, I'm gonna venture a guess and say he'll be much more of a lover than Bruiser ever was...mainly because he's already giving kisses. And no one taught him how - it was an innate trait.
Of course, he also takes after me where his eating habits are concerned. Nature vs nurture and all...
We also said goodbye to the GTO last week. We finally paid it off in May but were concerned any repairs would be uber expensive since it was a limited edition. And we also felt like it was time to venture into the truck game again seeing as how livestock shows will abound this fall. Tonto is a happy boy and there's now a Ram to haul goats. :-)
In addition to all this activity, high school football starts tomorrow and Baylor on Saturday. That sound you hear is the angels rejoicing. Let the most wonderful time of the year commence!

Mountain Rural Development, Vietnam. Integration biodiversity aspects in development cooperation -a case study
Publication date:
The report describes and analyses to what extent and how biodiversity aspects have been identified and addressed within a broad rural development programme in five provinces in northern Vietnam. Biodiversity issues have to some extent been considered in relation to the forestry-related components of the programme - but the general picture is that they have not been coherently and consciously addressed. Some positive impacts on biodiversity can be seen from the programme primarily an increased diversity of the "managed landscape" (home gardens, forest gardens etc), and some increase and/or return of wildlife and birds is noted in several villages when forest areas increase. Negative impacts include contributing to the trend of declining agrobiodiversity, through provision of high-yielding seed varieties, a limited selection of fruit trees, fish species and livestock varieties. For the future the report recommends that: a) biodiversity issues be more consciously and strategically addressed during planning and reviews, b) stakeholder involvement and consultations take place and include biodiversity issues, c) Sida's EIA guidelines provides good checklists and should form a key tool in the planning and reviews, d) monitoring should include biodiversity issues, but must be kept simple and involve the local communities concerned.

5 Hot Weather Fashion Tips to Keep You Cool This Summer
Tuesday, July 14, 2015 • 4 comments
A reasonable person doesn't need to be told to avoid wearing warm clothes in the summer, as their body's natural reaction is to shy away from extra layers that will only serve to produce sweat and discomfort on a hot day. Still, sometimes getting rid of the coats, sweaters, jackets, and over-shirts means making a wardrobe change that will leave you feeling less stylish and more bare. Thin, lightweight materials and minimalistic outfits can do a lot to help you achieve a nice balance between style and comfort. At the same time, dressing too scantily can be seen as distasteful or tacky in some circles, so when there's a need to stay fully covered while staying cool, going for the skin-showing bikini and a skirt look might not be a good idea. With that said, below we will provide five hot weather fashion tips that will keep you feeling breezy and refreshed on even the hottest summer days.
1. Go for Roomy, Lightweight, Breezy, and Sleeveless
When the heat is on and a cool breeze feels as refreshing as a glass of iced lemonade, taking advantage of every draft is the best way to keep yourself from over-sweating. Go for tops that are roomy and breezy, like off-the-body croc tops, sleeveless silk button-downs, and tunics. Combining one of these tops with a micro bottom or wearing a smooth and roomy one-piece skirt dress can work wonders in keeping you cool and comfortable. Such loose-fitting, lightweight options are also ideal because they're easy to throw layers on top of when temperatures drop at night, or when you return to the comfort of home air conditioning.
2. Use Floral Patterns to Disguise Sweat Stains Sometimes all the breeze in the world won't stop you from sweating profusely on a particular muggy or active day. When the sweat starts dripping there's not much you can do to keep it from ruining your outfit with unsightly sweat stains, which is why choosing the right design pattern matters. Fortunately, it's possible to effectively hide sweat marks behind floral patterns and other printed designs that incorporate a distracting collage of smaller features. Of course, items with darker backgrounds will disguise sweat better than their lighter counterparts, and silky materials do a better job of preventing the sweat-soaked look as well.
3. Wear Well-Ventilated Dresses
A well-ventilated dress that blows freely in the wind can really help you feel the full effect of the breeze on your skin, thereby aiding in your body's natural cooling mechanisms to reduce sweating. Backless dresses, swing dresses, and other summer-oriented dresses that show a little skin on the stomach or side are favorites in tropical climates because they maximize airflow to some of the more problematic areas that tend to overheat, like the stomach and lower back.
4. Avoid Jeans and Regular T-Shirts
Most denim jeans are too thick to provide adequate ventilation on a hot day, and aside from their lack of breathability, jeans can also be very irritating on the inner thighs and waist line when the temps are high, especially during and after moderate activity like a long walk. Likewise, standard t-shirts are known for becoming sweat soaked within an hour in the hot sun. So, unless you're going for that sweat-drenched look that says "I'm uncomfortable," avoid regular t-shirts and denim jeans.
5. Don't Forget the Quick Fix Accessories
Sometimes the best outfit in the world can't stop a bit of perspiration and a few hot weather wardrobe malfunctions. For these situations, be sure to carry along some much-needed style and hygiene accessories like a stick of deodorant, chap stick, a sun hat, sunglasses, body spray, and maybe even a few facial spritzes and body wipes. It's also a good idea to bring along a change of sandals and flip-fops in case your primary shoes start getting sweaty, or go with breathable insoles from the start to keep yourself from having to change your shoes midday. Style Can't Replace Water In closing, we should emphasize the fact that no amount of breezy clothing can make up for a lack of hydration. Thus, be sure to carry a bag of water bottles and a spray bottle for your hot day excursions. How will this affect your clothing, you may ask? By drinking more water you'll keep your body from overheating prematurely, which can help cut down on sweating and make your sweat more efficient at cooling.

The story came out. I'm pretty happy with everything, including the photo. As a result I've had a barrage of traffic to the Talk Talk Hell site.
We found out this morning after an evening of drinking and debauchery in Manchester. Woke up around 12:30 and eventually left the house in search of newspapers. ASDA had a disappointingly low count but enough for me to confirm I was in it. Not only in it, but also in glorious technicolor. After giggling wildly for a few hours and telling a nice man holding a donations jar for the Rotary club of Wigan, we went on search of more.
Sainsbury's ended up being the best bet for locating the Observer. They had absolutely tons left, which I think proves that middle class guilt hasn't infiltrated this area of the metropolitan borough of Wigan just yet.
I'm very excited and quite proud. I made it into the paper without committing an unusual, stupid or horrific crime. Hooray!

Please be advised that we cannot ship any merchandise to PO Box addresses.
Gallery of Lighting offers FREE SHIPPING on selected items able to ship via UPS or Federal Express Ground, and during some promotional periods for orders that are $49.00 or greater. This Free Shipping Offer is applicable only to orders shipping to the 48 continental United States. Actual shipping costs will be incurred for orders shipping to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico. Please call our store at 864-370-4451 for a shipping quote to these areas.
Orders less than our Free Shipping limit will incur a standard processing and handling charge of $10.00. Orders cannot be combined for the purposes of this free shipping offer.
Large items, such as large foyer chandeliers and torchiere floor lamps, may ship via truck freight. Orders containing items that must ship via truck freight will incur a $65 surcharge for each item that must ship via freight. Items that must ship via truck freight are marked as such on the individual product pages of this site, and are determined by the manufacturers' submitted carton dimensions and shipping weight.
Items shipped via truck freight are delivered to curbside or driveway only. Most carries will contact you to set up a delivery time, usually a 2-4 hour appointment window during business hours. As such, it is the customer's responsibility to provide an accurate contact phone number for the delivery address.
If you require special assistance with a Truck Freight delivery, additional services like inside delivery and lift gate are available at an additional charge. Please contact a store associate at 864-370-4451 for a quote on these services.
At the time of delivery, the driver will require that you inspect the condition of the shipment and sign the delivery receipt. Be sure to note on the receipt ANY and ALL visible damage to the packaging of your item(s). Noting the condition of the delivery is the responsibility of the customer - not the driver.
If the carrier is unable to contact the customer, the customer will then be responsible for any storage fees or freight charges back to the shipper. See our Return Policies for full details.
At the discretion of our store, professionally trained and experienced personnel from Gallery of Lighting will deliver merchandise free of charge to customers deemed to be within the trading area of Gallery of Lighting. Delivery by our store will be scheduled by appointment only. Gallery of Lighting delivery does not include inside delivery or any installation services. We strongly suggest hiring a licensed electrical contractor for all lighting installations.
A customer may choose to make a purchase placed online available for pickup at our store. If you wish to pick up your purchase, we will contact you via phone or email when your product is ready for your visit. Orders that are arranged to be picked up will be charged in full once the merchandise arrives at the showroom - not when it is picked up.
Gallery of Lighting strives to provide its customers with the most accurate information on product availability using the tools and resources made available by the manufacturers we represent.
The lead times that are posted on the individual product pages are estimates only. These times are estimated based on the assumption that the item in question is currently in stock with the manufacturer and on the manufacturer's typical speed at which orders are processed and shipped.
If your purchase or project is time sensitive, it is strongly suggested that you contact a store associate at 864-370-4451 to inquire about expedited shipping services.
Gallery of Lighting is not responsible for any costs associated with shipment delays. We strongly suggest that any professional services required to install your product(s) not be scheduled until your order has arrived and been inspected

If you would like to return an item that is in new condition with original packaging, you may return the product within 30 days of purchase.
Customers who place orders online are responsible for the accuracy of their product selection and information entered. Customers who place orders by phone or in-store must review their receipt for accuracy within 24 hours. Many items offered online are non-stock or built to order, and as such are subject to a restocking fee, and return freight charges, if there is no error on the part of the Gallery of Lighting.
Gallery of Lighting sells many products that are built-to-order. These items are non-returnable and non-cancellable once the order has been placed. Please refer to a store associate regarding a particular item's ability to be returned.
Note: If your product has arrived damaged or doesn't work properly, please refer to the "Damaged & Defective Goods Policy" below.
Step 1 - Acquire authorization and instructions
To begin the return process, please call our store and speak with one of our sales associates.
In most cases we will email you a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number to return product along with return instructions.
Step 2 - Shipping product back
Ship the item to the warehouse address listed on the return authorization.
Below are the keys to a successful return:
Good Packaging: Re-pack products for return in the original box with original packaging material.
Use the return label provided or your own label and write the RGA# exactly as instructed by our staff. Do not write on the box to maintain its like-new condition. Improper labeling may result in the denial of return.
Ship & Insure: Next, ship the product to the warehouse address provided using a carrier that will provide both a tracking number as well as a signature that the item was confirmed delivered. Please do not ship USPS because they do not provide these guarantees. If we are unable to confirm delivery of your item, this may result in the denial of a refund.
Tracking Number: We recommend using a carrier that will provide you with a return tracking number as this will speed up your return process. Retain your tracking number and email it to the issuing store associate so that we can check on the progress of your return. If you have not received credit within 14 days from the date of delivery to the warehouse, please contact our store and provide us with the tracking number so that we can expedite the credit process for you.
You will have 14 days in which to return the product from the date that we receive approval from the manufacturer. After 14 days, the Return Authorization will expire and no replacements or refunds will be given.
In the event that a return becomes damaged on its way back to the return destination, we will inform you via email or phone that the item was received damaged and hold the product for up to 15 days. It is the customer's responsibility to file a claim with the shipping carrier and instruct us concerning what to do with the damaged product. If we have not received notification or response from the customer within 14 days, the item will be donated or destroyed.
Step 3 - Refunds
Once the returned item has been received and verified to have all original contents and packaging and confirmed to be free of damage, the refund credit process will begin.
Customers will be refunded via the same method in which the item was purchased or via check from Gallery of Lighting. Refunds via check are typically issued within 7 business days of final approval.
Items returned without the proper RGA# or sent to the wrong warehouse are subject to an automatic 50% restocking fee or complete forfeiture of your refund. If credit is to be given, it will be by store credit only. Please read your return instructions carefully to avoid delays and unnecessary expenses.
Please do not request a charge back from your credit card company during the return process. Due to the time it takes to resolve charge back disputes, it is usually better to be patient and wait for the return process to run its course. If a charge back has been submitted, we will not be able to credit you for your return until the charge back mediation process has been completed. This process can take up to 180 days.
Special purchases, including: clearance items, inventory sale items, etc.
Any item that has been assembled, installed (including cut or clipped wires), modified or used in any way.
Any item that is not in resalable condition.
Any item not accompanied by a Return Goods Authorization Number (RGA#) issued by Gallery of Lighting.
Any item that is not in the original box with sufficient packaging materials.
Large orders: (Orders containing 10 or more of a single item or orders with an invoice total greater than $2,500). When ordering large quantities, we suggest ordering a sample for evaluation.
Light bulbs, parts, and shades.
Any item not purchased from Gallery of Lighting.
Shipping & handling charges.
We understand that a product may get damaged in transit or, on occasion, there may be a manufacturer product defect. Rest assured, we will stand by you during this process and make sure we do everything we can to bring it to a satisfying and timely conclusion – at no expense to you. For us to offer this level of service, however, we need a little help from the customer in the form of a detailed product inspection immediately upon delivery. This will make things much easier if you decide to return the item.
Small Package Deliveries For smaller UPS or FedEx deliveries that are damaged in transit, instead of refusing the package, please contact our store immediately. If damages are reported within 7 days for UPS or FedEx deliveries, we can file a claim on behalf of the customer and work to quickly resolve it. Please be aware that replacements or refunds can be hindered or denied if the customer fails to notify Gallery of Lighting of defective or damaged merchandise within two business days of receipt.
Immediate inspection is especially important when receiving large items (such as a chandelier, large pendant, or glass items) from LTL, White Glove and common freight carriers. In this case, it is important to notate any damage on the bill of lading or receipt when you sign for the delivery, even if the package appears only slightly damaged.
Customers who sign for delivery and do not notate "damage" assume responsibility if merchandise is damaged. If the product itself appears significantly damaged, you may refuse delivery. Please notify our store of refusal so we can anticipate the return and send out a new item.
Gallery of Lighting will repair or replace the damaged or defective goods for no additional charge. If a return is desired instead of replacement, the "Standard Return Policy" above applies and there may be a restocking fee and our initial shipping and handling costs will be deducted from the credit.
Failure to follow return procedure for the damaged item may result in a charge for the free replacement item.
Returned items that are found to be in working condition or shipped as ordered may not be eligible for a refund. In such a case Gallery of Lighting will email you for your decision on whether to ship the item back to you at your expense or be refunded with up to a 50% restocking fee and store credit.
If you would like to cancel an order that has not shipped from our store or the manufacturer, simply contact one of our sales associates at 864-370-4451. Then, we will submit a request to the manufacturer for cancellation. Shortly after, you will receive an email acknowledging your cancellation request followed by another email either confirming the cancellation or stating that we were unable to cancel. Please allow up to 24 hours for confirmation of cancellation.
Please be aware that some items may have already shipped from our store or the manufacturer and be in route for final delivery to you. In such a case, cancellation fees may apply.
Once an order has already shipped, it cannot be cancelled, rerouted or redirected. If you would like to return the item, you will need to follow the "Standard Return Policy". Do not refuse the delivery of non-damaged goods as this will result in up to a 50% restocking fee. A delivery refusal may also result in the loss of your product and may void any possibility of a refund. You may also be charged for roundtrip shipping costs.
Some items that are custom made or built-to-order cannot be cancelled.
If you are cancelling an order due to backorder, we recommend you first call our store to verify the accuracy of the date before making your final decision. There are times when manufacturers have stated items as backordered, only to find that they have already shipped or are going out the next day. On the other hand, if the item is truly unavailable for an extended period, we sincerely apologize for the delay.
Please note that since a cancellation request is time sensitive, please do not email or leave voice messages regarding your intention as it may slow the process down. It is important that you get a hold of a store associate directly at 864-370-4451.

In 2013 I graduated in Architecture in Ferrara, with a master thesis that focused on the urban transformation of a former railway area in Milan.
I have experienced firsthand the earthquake of Ferrara (2012) and I was involved in some reconstruction's projects between the provinces of Modena and Ferrara.
Currently, I'm working on my Ph.D. dissertation, which focuses on the long-term impacts of major urban regeneration projects in progress in Milan and the evaluation of urban synergies among complex strategic actions. My research focuses also on the investigation of the cognitive roots of Milan's governance framework and the emergent discrasia between the planning tools and the implementation process of urban regeneration projects.
From September 2015 I'm carrying out a research project directed by Antonio Calafati – in progress at the Academy of Architecture of Mendrisio (CH) – on the 'Architectures of Innovation /Architectures of Subsistence in Milan'.
Under the supervision of Antonio Calafati, I'm working in a research group that explores the social, economic and spatial transformations of Milan and its metropolitan area. The preliminary results of this research were recently presented in a special session of the 2016 RSA Conference in Graz (4-6 April 2016).
In the framework of the 'International Biennale of Architecture Rotterdam 2016' (IABR) I'm coordinating – together with Cora Fontana – a research project on 'L'Aquila of the Future: Strategies, Architectures, Spaces and Urban Identities after the 2009 Earthquake'.

Not only is Philip J. Downey vice president with Marriott Senior Living Services, the fifth-largest senior housing owner and the fourth largest senior housing manager, but he also is stepping up to the plate as chairman of the American Seniors Housing Association (ASHA). Continuum caught up with this busy executive for some one-on-one questions.
Continuum: Tell me a little about why you're involved in ASHA. Is there some tangible benefit that you get out of your ASHA membership?
Downey: Well there certainly is a corporate benefit. The primary mission of the organization really represents owner/operators, particularly with an emphasis on for-profits. So it's the organization whose agenda is probably closest to that of my employer, which is why I'm involved.
But also beyond that, on a personal note, it's a very gratifying group of folks to be involved with. It provides me and my company an opportunity to directly network with the chief executives and the leaders of other companies that are in our primary business.
Continuum: As chairman, do you have certain goals that you'd like to achieve over the next couple of years?
Downey: I do have some specific objectives. No. 1 is attempting to define the best strategy for us to get into the driver's seat as far as the whole question of how we want to be regulated. One of my goals is to keep our members in that debate and to attempt to use the influence of ASHA to establish a position and wield some influence that we think will give us a more positive regulatory environment as these things start to emerge. States are more and more looking to the industry organizations to be a voice for what they think is a positive approach toward regulations. If and when the issue emerges here in Washington, I think we can be in a position to be a positive voice for what the industry would like to see happen. I want us to be there at the table when that occurs.
Continuum: Turning to your work at Marriott, what are the strengths of the Marriott brand? And how are you trying to leverage that to build a national awareness for your senior housing communities?
Downey: The strength of the Marriott brand is high-quality service, and we think it also means good people, well-trained associates who are very attentive to the needs of residents and are very, very responsive and have a positive attitude to serve. And we think it's also value, that it's "you get what you pay for." We certainly, in Marriott Senior Living Services, are thrilled to have the equity of the Marriott brand behind all products. It took the company 70 years to build up that equity, and we think we deliver all the attributes in our communities that Marriott has come to stand for.
Continuum: Are you going to have a concerted effort to leverage out that brand when naming your communities and things of that nature?
Downey: We basically brand our communities with the Marriott brand name. We have an overall Marriott branding strategy - we are Marriott Senior Living Services. We also have distinct assisted living branded concepts that we are actively developing: Brighton Gardens by Marriott, Host by Marriott and Village Oaks by Marriott. Our plan is to establish the Brighton Gardens, Host and Village Oaks valued branded concepts.
It is our hope and our belief that at some point Brighton Gardens would also have some weight to it as a branding concept and will mean something in the mind of the customer.
It's not unlike the lodging brands. Consumers know the Courtyard brand has value, so someday the Brighton Garden brand will as well, as it becomes known and as people experience it in different markets through personal experiences.
Continuum: What's the growth strategy right now?
Downey: The growth strategy right now is: We're aggressively growing Brighton Gardens, we are going to start construction on 30 of those this year. We started construction of 25 last year. At year-end '97 we had 89 operating retirement communities. We've got a portfolio that's about 40% what we call "independent full-service." Right now our five-year plan is to get over 300 communities open roughly by year-end 2002, and we're confident that we can achieve that.
Continuum: Are you concerned about overbuilding?
Downey: We are concerned about overbuilding. We think that some markets certainly will be overbuilt, but we're confident that through our feasibility screening and market selection process we will continue to find good, high-quality sites and high-quality marketing opportunities for the next few years to come.

California has suffered approximately 1.2 million bank foreclosures since 2008. In the low and moderate income communities where our members live, homeownership has been the way in which families have managed to build up some equity and savings and create stability and opportunity for the next generation. This hard-earned wealth continues to be ripped away, and outside speculators are buying up foreclosed homes in bulk and renting them out and/or flipping them for a profit. African American and Latino families have been particularly hard-hit, both because of racist targeting by predatory lenders and because a higher percentage of their accumulated wealth has tended to be in their homes.
ACCE has been advancing multiple strategies to save homes and restore community wealth.
- Day in and day out, ACCE defends the homes of individual members, with a range of tactics to pressure banks. This on-the-ground work has led to more than 550 families keeping their homes and reducing collective mortgage principal by more than $18.2 million.
- In 2013, the work of ACCE in Richmond, CA captured the attention of the nation, as we launched a campaign with the Mayor to stand up to Wall St and use eminent domain to acquire troubled mortgages the investors have been unwilling to fix. The program will modify bad loans with principal reduction and turn them into sustainable mortgages for the current homeowners.
- This work to expose the banks' abusive and often fraudulent, behavior has paved the way for more sweeping reforms, like the multi-state attorneys general settlement in 2011 and the passage of the Homeowner Bill of Rights in 2012. These legal and legislative reforms have saved tens of thousands of homes from foreclosure.
- In cities across the state ACCE is working with tenants to preserve affordable rents and tackle slum housing conditions. In Oakland, tenants are organizing to hold accountable one of the major speculators who bought-up hundreds of foreclosed properties.

The carbon won't come off of my stainless cylinder face as you claim?
There are several reasons that the black carbon may not come off immediately or completely. First, we recommend using a stainless steel tooth-style brush or ScotchBrite® pad to remove the black carbon. Nylon or copper brushes may not work. In addition, stainless steel is not completely "stainless". There are a few brands of revolvers (such as the Ruger Redhawk) that have different alloys of stainless steel that tend to actually stain. It is not a reflection on the quality of the firearm; it just has a different reaction to the carbon and chemicals in the propellant. This type of carbon staining can only be removed by an acid etch or abrasive which we do not recommend. The resulting rings are cosmetic and do not affect performance.

I am not a person often troubled by Nightmares; once or twice a decade perhaps, but then they are sometimes life changing.
When I was a child, of course, I had those often recurring nightmares in which I felt like I was running through molasses trying to escape a pursuer in black brandishing a knife. In this dream I was always running through a limestone cavern with grottoes off to the side all strangely separated from main cavern by a white picket fence. For some reason there also were always a lot of colored lights giving the walls a bright rainbow like appearance. Of course, I would wake up before my pursuer caught up to me, except for the last time when he plunged the knife deep into my back. I still remember the sound that it made.
These dreams were then replaced by dreams of falling from which I would wake up before hitting bottom, again except for the last time when I was sure I was going to hit bottom and die unless I woke myself up. So, I struggled mightily pushing through the thick fog of sleep to wakefulness and safety.
I then found that I became what is often referred to as a vivid dreamer. Someone who knows he is dreaming and to some extent can control it. In my case, I used that ability to keep away the darkness and danger; thick doors leading into the crypt became windows looking out on mountain meadows, jagged craters into the dark underworld became lakes or ponds reflecting the few billowing clouds passing overhead in an otherwise sparkling blue sky.
I grew to love my dreams. For most of my life I preferred my sleeping life to my real one. Although in all likelihood my dreams were as brief as those who study such thing say they usually are, but for me they were often glorious adventured that appeared to last all night and beyond.
I thought of keeping a notebook by my bed and recording them but I never did. My analyst also encouraged me to do so. I noticed that the only time he would take notes during my sessions was when I mentioned a dream. So, I began to make up dreams (usually about my mother) in order to keep him writing and not asking questions.
Anyway, a few days ago I was lying on my back sprawled on the rock hard bed in my little apartment in Bangkok, Kesorn, the Little Masseuse, who prefers sleeping on the floor was asleep beside the bed. I thought I was still awake staring at the ceiling annoyed that I was having difficulty falling asleep, when suddenlt what felt like a great pressure bearing down over every part of body gripped it and squeezed it so forcefully I felt as though I was shrinking into myself. I could neither breathe nor move. I panicked and knew I had to call for help.
It was at that minute that I first suspected that I was dreaming because suddenly I noticed another bed in the room with a dark shape lying on it. Nevertheless, I still heard myself screaming for help. I called out the name of the dark shape on the other bed and was shocked. I was screaming for help from my long dead wife, the mother of my daughter who I had not even thought of or about for over a decade.
Then I woke up, looked around and saw that the other bed had disappeared and Kesorn was still sleeping on the floor beside me.
I could not get back to sleep again that night for fear of ghosts or dying.

In Las Vegas, there's a reality TV show for everyone
Reality TV and Las Vegas seem to go hand in hand. We've long basked in the spotlight of these "unscripted" programs and everyone seems to want to join the party — even the Las Vegas City Council. The Discovery Channel starting shooting Vegas 24-7, a reality show centering on Las Vegas City Hall, last week.
Council members only passed the proposal to shoot Vegas 24-7 by one vote, but others in Las Vegas show no reluctance when it comes to letting cameras front and center into their lives. Here are some of the places where you can watch the "reality" of Las Vegas:
Lifestyle shows
Whether its a terrible tramp stamp to a moan-worthy misspelling, everyone makes mistakes. In Las Vegas, the really bad mistakes are creatively covered up on Bad Ink. Watch as tattoo artist and musician Dirk Vermin, owner of Pussykat Tattoo in Las Vegas, and his friend, Rob Ruckus seek out and transform the worst tattoos. Season two starts Monday, Jan. 20 at 9 p.m. on A&E.
In other tattoo-related reality TV news, season four of Ink Master starts Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 10 p.m. on Spike TV. Watch as 17 tattoo artists, including two from Las Vegas — Walter "Sausage" Frank of Club Tattoo in the Miracle Mile Shops and King Ruck (a.k.a Josh Glover) of Black Spade Tattoo — compete in various challenges, battling it out for a $100,000 cash prize and the Ink Master title. The winner is chosen by a panel of judges including Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction and renowned tattoo artists Chris Nunez of "Miami Ink" and Oliver Peck of Elm Street Tattoo. Last season's winner, Joey Hamilton, is an artist at Club Tattoo in Las Vegas.
Some people have lots of tattoos, others have lots of wives. Such is the case with the Kody Brown's Las Vegas polygamist family, featured on Sister Wives, which airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on TLC. The show follows the lives of Brown, his wives and their 17 children. The family relocated from Utah and owns four homes on a Las Vegas cul de sac. Only one of the marriages is legal, the other three are considered spiritual unions.
Longtime favorites
It's a rare day when you pass by the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in downtown Las Vegas — home to the reality TV show Pawn Stars — and don't see a line out the door. The popularity of Pawn Stars has yet to fade and the hit show continues to woo viewers Thursdays at 9 p.m. on the History Channel. Since debuting on the History Channel in 2009 it has become one of the network's highest-rated shows, transforming the pawn shop into a must-see Vegas attraction. People flock to the store on their own or on a group tour, hoping for a chance to get an item appraised or to see one of the stars Rick Harrison, his son Corey "Big Hoss," dad Richard "Old Man" and Austin "Chumlee" Russell.
Pawn Stars' success spawned other reality shows on the History Channel, such as American Restoration, which airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. The show features Rick Dale and his team at Rick's Restorations in Las Vegas as they restore one-of-a-kind items, impossible-to-find parts and face tough deadlines as they take unique, broken-down items such as a 1960s NASA Jet Pack and a 1920s grand piano.
Counting Cars is another History Channel spinoff filmed in Las Vegas. This show, which airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m., chronicles the daily activities at Count's Kustoms, an automobile restoration and customization company owned and operated by former Pawn Stars expert Danny Koker.
Tanked on Animal Planet follows the antics of two brothers-in-law, Wayde King and Brett Raymer, as they run Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM), the largest aquarium manufacturing company in the nation. The 13,000-square-foot facility is located just off the Strip in Las Vegas and produces one-of-a-kind tanks for one-of-a-kind clients. The new season premiers Saturdays at 9 p.m. in April.
Get an inside look at the above favorites on the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop of Pawn Stars VIP Tour.
New shows
January brings two brand new Las Vegas-based shows to the reality TV lineup.
Thrift Hunters, which premieres Saturday, Jan. 18 at 9:30 p.m. on Spike TV, features Las Vegas rummaging gurus Jason T. Smith and Bryan Goodman as they seek out valuable and unusual items at low prices. They scour various thrift shops, flea markets and garage sales for hidden gems — such as a rare pair of "Gone with the Wind" tickets and a vintage Smith Corona typewriter — then they put them up for auction at a higher price.
On Sunday, Jan. 26 at 9 p.m., secure a ringside seat (in front of your TV) to watch life outside the ring for three-time World Boxing Champion and Las Vegas resident Fernando Vargas on Welcome to Los Vargas. This Hispanic celebrity reality series from the mun2 network highlights the intimate moments of the retired boxer and his family, including wife Martha, her father and their four children. It also follows Vargas on his mission to train the next great boxing champion and open a gym.
Rumored in the works
The Las Vegas Sun reports that The Travel Channel has green lit production for an original pilot called Street Cred, which follows Las Vegas magician Penn Jillette as he seeks out America's best street performers. The Sun says, "The magician, comedian and former street performer will team up with undercover experts to seek out the show's unwitting contestants through hidden cameras, rewarding the best with a $10,000 tip."
Jillette, who has appeared on both The Celebrity Apprentice and the All-Star Celebrity Apprentice is also competing on Season 3 of the Food Network's Rachael vs. Guy (as in Rachel Ray and Guy Fieri). The cooking competition premiered last week and as in past reality show appearances, Jillette is competing for the Las Vegas charity, Opportunity Village.
CW, meanwhile, has been rumored to pick up nine episodes of Penn & Teller: Fool Us in which aspiring magicians are invited to fool Penn & Teller with their best magic trick. Anyone who succeeds gets to perform in Penn & Teller's show at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

Jax Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Buy boots and three health pots to begin with, boots first instead of the armor because Jax is not tanky so the armor will not contribute as much as boots will. After 500 gold is acquired in the lane, go back immediately and get Ninja Tabi, this will help with your dodge chance and thus give you a chance to stun. Get Sword of the Devine ASAP, once you have the attack speed, your ulti + SotD = raped. Guinsoo's shortly after will ultimately give you a 2.5 attack speed at level 15. Phantom Dancers x2 = Dodge + movement speed = Death to all who oppose you. Madred's as a last item make it so they can't win.

Well it's 2014. I know I drank deeply of alcohol infused liquids and shoved 2013 out the door this past week. It was an extremely difficult year, but we all survived and by that I mean at least one of us would have been dead this past Christmas but for a rather random catching of a life threatening condition. Getting what turned out to be very serious surgery and treatment, then starting recovery took up most of the year from late July to the present, and monitoring must continue for life. But suffice to say I still have Husband, and am very grateful I do.
There were other horrible, shocking, and unbelievably trying events that occurred. This past year was one of the most depressing I have ever experienced, and it is no exaggeration to say toward the end I was not sure I had anything left in me to cope. Maybe I'm still not sure, but I accept the false rituals of a new year to give me something to celebrate.
I got a new paper calendar (yes it may seem luddite-like, but it is tangible and won't evaporate if batteries die) and filled in all the set dates of the new year. I also started a to- do list, and already feel overwhelmed. There are times having a family is a positive distraction, it makes me focus on the present (even if annoyingly so) and get on with things. Money is tight, time is valuable, and the circle of people I know genuinely love me, love us, is considerably smaller. I can't say what the new year will bring. I hope- my raggedy, worn thin, unreliable state of hope- that I find a job. I hope Husband continues to recover well. I hope our evil neighbors find something other to do than torment us. I hope my children stay healthy and dodge the backward blockages of culture and curriculum at school. I hope my extended family stays healthy and maintains a state of happiness. I hope the citizens of this country start to pull their heads out and become civil. I hope those with extreme wealth and privilege realize they don't live in a bubble and must start taking responsibility for their lives and wealth. I hope the people who let their cats run wild in my neighborhood keep them in, get them spayed or neutered, or get rid of them. I hope the song birds come back to my neighborhood. I hope the frogs, snakes, and newts do too. I hope my garden is healthy this year. I hope I can keep going, and have the energy to be a good mom, wife, daughter, relative, friend, and community member. I hope we find a way, a path, a start to leaving this place.
I hope we are safe. I hope we are healthy. I hope we find moments of happiness and laughter. I will do what I can so my hope is not in a vacuum, not static and passive. I will live for as long as I am able. I will try. Welcome, 2014. Another cycle around the sun, another 365 days. The kids feet will continue to grow, gray hair will replace color, and what ever losses occur I hope they are small ones. Happy New Year.

In October this year a film crew from Table Mountain Films will voyage out from the coast of South Africa to witness and film an epic marine spectacle: Humpback whales, which are gathering together in enormous groups, totalling more than 200 whales per group. Scientists have a new word for these gatherings – 'Supergroups' – and are hailing this phenomenon as proof that humpback whales have finally made it back from the brink of extinction. For the first time we are seeing how whales behaved when they were plentiful, before the great industrial-scale slaughter of the 20th century.
This film shoot will be led by award-winning filmmakers Katharina Pechel and Joe Kennedy, whose wildlife films have been aired worldwide by major broadcasters like National Geographic, BBC and the Discovery Channel. This film will also reveal the extraordinary role humpback whales play in recycling the rare ocean nutrients that support phytoplankton which form the foundation of the entire ocean food pyramid. The whales' critical role doesn't stop there –phytoplankton produce half the planet's oxygen and suck up vast amounts of CO2. So the whales are helping maintain a healthy climate. Come explore this remarkable and epic tale of survival and recovery and support the crowdfunding campaign for this enthralling narrative on the Kickstarter platform

Lookout world, Canada is a "player". See what a few short months of Conservative rule bring. Movin on up.

For the cake: Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch pan.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk the buttermilk and vanilla in a spouted measuring cup; set aside.
Beat the sugar and butter in a stand mixer (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer) at medium speed until very light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed. Slowly add the eggs and beat until fully incorporated. Reduce the speed to the lowest setting; with the mixer running, alternate beating in the flour mixture in three additions and the buttermilk mixture in two, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Scrape down the side of the bowl, and beat until the batter is well mixed. Spread into the prepared pan.
Bake the cake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Using a fork, poke holes in the top and all the way through the cake.
Bring 1 cup water to a boil, pour over the gelatin in a small bowl and stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Pour the mixture evenly over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Put a large bowl (for whipping the cream) in the refrigerator.
For the sweetened berries: While the cake chills, hull and quarter the strawberries. Toss with the granulated sugar in a medium bowl, and set aside until soft and juicy, about 1 hour.
For the topping: Remove the cake from the refrigerator. Whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla in the chilled bowl until fluffy. Spread it over the cake, slice the cake and serve with the strawberries.

Catholics who attended mass in the Archdiocese of Chicago received a special letter from Cardinal George in their church bulletins Sunday.
In the letter the Cardinal apologizes to victims of abuse in the church.
Cardinal George gave mass at St. Irenaeus parish in Park Forest. He didn't mention it, but his letter was sitting inside the bulletin.
"It's always important to tell the truth and since the publication of events that happened before I got here is going to be an occasion for a lot of conversation," said Cardinal George. "I thought I ought to put it in perspective and that was the purpose of the letter."
This week the Archdiocese of Chicago will release a report detailing sexual abuse involving 30 offenders and 40 victims.
That will be handed over to attorneys suing the archdiocese.
"Painful though publicly reviewing the past may be, it is part of the accountability and transparency to which the archdiocese is committed," read the Cardinal's letter. "It will be helpful, we pray, for some, but painful for many."
At Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago, members of SNAP, also known as the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, passed out separate flyers.
Their letters urged parishioners to ignore Cardinal George's letter because it's self-serving.
"He did leave Daniel McCormick in ministry knowing he was accused, said SNAP member Kate Bochte. " He does have direct responsibility for what happend to boys at that parish."
Daniel McCormack is the former priest who made headlines for years with accusations of sexual abuse, and was eventually prosecuted, while under Cardinal George's watch.
"Sometimes people think we all knew everything about him before and he was wreckless and that wasn't true," said the Cardinal. "He deceived a lot of people."
In his letter, Cardinal George says, "Neither in Chicago nor in any previous posting, as a bishop or a religious superior, have I assigned to pastoral ministry, or transferred for ministry, a priest whom I knew to have sexually abused a child."
The Archdiocese report detailing the abuse will be released on January 15, but the public won't see it for several days after.

Global climate change impacts on coastal ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico: considerations for integrated coastal management

AbstractGlobal climate change is important in considerations of integrated coastal management in the Gulf of Mexico. This is true for a number of reasons. Climate in the Gulf spans the range from tropical to the lower part of the temperate zone. Thus, as climate warms, the tropical temperate interface, which is currently mostly offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, will increasingly move over the coastal zone of the northern and eastern parts of the Gulf. Currently, this interface is located in South Florida and around the US-Mexico border in the Texas-Tamaulipas region. Maintaining healthy coastal ecosystems is important because they will be more resistant to climate change.
