Requirements: Android v2.1+
Overview: Flashlight for your device! Incredibly simple and yet very useful flashlight application. Will use your device's camera LED as a torch.
HUGE Holiday giveaway on Phandroid.com. Tiny Flashlight is one of the sponsors! You can win one of the 10 brand new unlocked Galaxy Nexus devices! http://phandroid.com/2011/11/24/holidroid-contest/
Flashlight for your device! Incredibly simple and yet very useful flashlight application. Will use your device's camera LED as a torch.
Tiny Flashlight is currently the best led flashlight app on the Android Market, because:
- It supports the widest range of devices with camera led (flash)
- It's also the brightest flashlight / torch on the market, because the camera led emits very intense light in the dark.
- Has different widgets to choose from
- Has great and diverse screen lights
- Includes a color light
- Has the best support
Light sources:
* Camera LED light - Uses your phone's camera led (flash) to emit bright light. Note that some devices don't have a camera flash. In this case the led flashlight option will be disabled, but you can still use one of the screen lights.
* Screen Light - This is the basic white screen light, which is bright enough for daily use. You can use it as your primary option in case your device doesn't have a camera led or you want to save the battery.
* Warning Lights, Police Lights, Color Light, Strobe Light - Different light sources, which may be useful in many situations. You can change the brightness and the colors.
CAUTION: Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy!
Flashlight Widget:
Tiny Flashlight is one of the few applications on the market, which is free and has different widgets to choose from when the device has an option for a led light. Add a widget by tapping and holding on your main screen.
Flashlight Permissions:
Why Tiny Flashlight needs so many permissions and how are they used:
* TAKE PICTURES AND VIDEOS (CAMERA permission)
- In order to start the camera led (flash) on some devices, Tiny Flashlight has to use a small part of the camera hardware and it needs this permission. Don't worry, I'm not taking any pictures or videos without your permission. Tiny Flashlight is just accessing the camera led (flash).
- This is the old method of accessing the camera flash on Android 1.5 and 1.6.
*** As you know, Tiny Flashlight is free, but also is one of the best supported apps on the Android Market. Currently, this is the only app that supports almost all devices with camera led (flash) and fully supports all versions of Android (1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0). This takes huge amounts of time and effort and in order for Tiny Flashlight to remain the best flashlight on the market, I have to use ads inside it.
The following permissions are required by Google's own ad provider (Admob) and Millennial Media (the biggest independent ad network). Both are respected industry leaders.
- Used to load ad info from their servers. Nothing more.
- Temporary caches some ads on your SD Card. This method is used to save bandwidth.
- Some Motorola devices have factory bugs. These devices don't have unique IDs and this became a problem for ad networks, because they can't function without it. There is a workaround for this problem by using the PHONE IDENTITY permission. This permission is used only for getting a unique id. Nothing more.

Recent changes:
v126.96.36.199 is a maintenance release, which fixes two very old issues:
- Sometimes the LED won't turn on after an update of the app - this happened on devices with TI-OMAP hardware (most Motorola devices);
- Sometimes the widget would throw an exception after a fast on/off;
- The LED source screen is not shown anymore on newer HTC devices without a camera LED.

Maharashtra: No trained pilots to fly govt aircraft
With no trained pilots to fly the government aircraft for VVIPs, Maharashtra chief minister and other ministers are opting for commercial aircraft or hiring private aircraft.mumbai Updated: Jun 06, 2015 17:08 IST
With no trained pilots to fly the government aircraft for VVIPs, Maharashtra chief minister and other ministers are opting for commercial aircraft or hiring private aircraft.
While this is an added expense to the already burdened exchequer, it also means that the high-end Cessna Citation 560XLS has not been flown for about a year now.
The only pilot qualified to fly the high-end Cessna Citation 560XLS that was bought at the cost of Rs67 crore six years put in his papers about a year ago. Though there are four other pilots, none are experienced to fly the aircraft. The government also has a Sikorsky S76C++ helicopter.
Avatar Singh, a former Air Force officer, was recruited in March but he too hasn't flown the Citation for 150 hours, a condition mandatory to fly VIP aircraft. The government has now forced to recruit an foreign trainer to help Singh fulfil the condition.
"Singh has an overall experience of more than 3,000 hours required for flying VIP aircraft but does not have the experience of flying the Cesna Citation for more than 150 hours. Two agencies have responded to our bid for a trainer; we expect to recruit one by next month," said an official from Mantralaya.
"We are looking to recruit a foreign trainer for nine to 10 months and this may cost us about Rs9 lakh a month," he added.
In absence of qualified pilot the VIPs (the governor, the CM and ministers) are forced to hire private aircraft, from empaneled agencies, at the cost of Rs3 lakh an hour.
"Lack of qualified pilots has forced the CM to opt for commercial flights," said a CMO official. The officer said CM Devendra Fadnavis had to opt for a hired private aircraft for his recent Israel tour.
Fadnavis, meanwhile, said the problem will be sorted out in a couple of months.
"It is true that it took us a long time to recruit a pilot, forcing us to hire the private aircraft. It was not easy to find one to fly the Citation. We have a pilot now, and he will be able to fly the aircraft after training," he told HT.
The CM added that recruiting also posed a challenge owing to a lower salary bracket as compared to the private sector.

HP has used this week's Fespa show to launch its first rigid latex printer, the R2000, complete with HP's first latex white ink, which was first announced a couple of months ago.
It's a hybrid device, taking both roll-fed and rigid media helped by tables either side. It takes 2.5m wide media, up to 50mm thick, and rolls up to 100kg. It can print at up to 88 sqm/hr or 49 sqm/hr in six pass mode.
It has a wide platen, with 14 automatic independent vacuum chambers to hold boards in place. As with most hybrids, it uses a belt system to pull the media through the printer. However, there's an optical sensor that watches as the media advances and can correct the movement of that media. Joan Perez Pericot, general manager of HP's Large Format Graphics division, adds: "We have a lot of sensors that can identify how the printer is working and can predict how the printer will behave through AI."
The latex ink has been completely redesigned to work with rigid materials as well as flexibles, including for applications such as vehicle wrapping It cures at a lower temperature which allows this printer to work with more heat sensitive materials than HP's previous latex printers. HP says that the inks also deliver more vibrant colours.
There's a new Latex Overcoat to protect against scratches and other potential damage. Pericot says: "We have separated some of the scratch resistance and put this in the overcoat, which has the benefit that if you print to flexible and want to laminate then you can save cost by not applying the overcoat." It's also possible to apply different levels of overcoat.
HP has also introduced its first white latex ink. Pericot says: "It's a true white, very glossy, very shiny and will stay white over time and not turn yellow." There is an interesting option to remove the white printheads when not in use and store them in an offline rotation chamber. Pericot says there's no waste as the heads don't need to keep 'spitting' to avoid clogging. It takes a couple of minutes to remove or replace the white heads
The printer has automatic maintenance, with a recirculating feature also added to the heads and in the chambers between the heads and the ink tanks, which is essential for printing with white ink as the heavier particles can settle in the bottom of the tanks or clog the heads. HP estimates that the printheads should be good for printing around 40 litres of ink.
HP didn't want to put a price on the R2000 other than to say that the price would be close to £200,000. The R2000 will be commercially available from next month. Further details from HP's website.
HP has also announced a new Latex 3800 Jumbo Roll, which should be available from the beginning of July. This is in response to customer requests for the ability to handle bigger rolls, which is mainly to do with more industrial applications such as vinyl flooring and window blinds. It will hold rolls up to 1.2 tons and up to 3.2m wide.
There are also new additions to the Z-series DesignJet printers, which I'll cover in a separate story.

5 Reasons to Review Your Hand Protection
When you work in an industry where the importance of health and safety is high, providing personal protective equipment such as safety gloves, has to be carefully considered.
Hand protection can often be underrated, underappreciated and undervalued. Completely wrong! The hands are one of the most important and most used body parts and should be properly protected in all working environments.
Do you think your staff appreciate the importance of their hand protection? Do you think your staff know enough about the hand protection they wear?
These factors are important and if you have the chance to improve health and safety within your business, then why wouldn't you? Here we're giving you 5 reasons why you should consider reviewing your hand protection requirements…
- Improve Safety Standards
If you're managing a workforce that deals with potential hazards each day, it's your responsibility to provide suitable PPE.
Leading ports operator Associated British Ports (ABP) is extremely forward-thinking when it comes to health and safety, and has implemented a 'Five Point PPE' programme across their sites to ensure the workforce is well protected. This includes a range of hand protection solutions from Globus.
ABP's Quality and Compliance Director, Michelle Tilley explains why they chose Globus; "We are extremely serious about safety at ABP and so we wanted a supplier who could educate our workers on the importance of wearing gloves."
- Simplify Choice
Often there can be too much choice which can be confusing and could cause workers to wear the wrong safety glove for the task.
Providing a core range where the gloves have been matched to your specific tasks and workers cuts the confusion.
- Educate Your Workforce
Two gloves may look the same to the wearer but the difference in the protection they offer can be very different. This is why it is so important to educate and train your glove wearing employees about making the right choice.
The nature of the hazard and the task involved affects glove selection and it can be challenging to get it right when all situational factors are considered. Chemical use, duration of contact, grip required, amount of cut resistance required, weight of the load being handled – these are just some of the things that need to be considered when choosing the correct hand protection.
When we conducted a Globus Hand Protection Programme (GHPP) for ABP, comprehensive glove trials to engage and involve the workforce in the process were vital to the success of the new range being warmly welcomed.
- Provide Support
The end of a business relationship shouldn't be when a sale is confirmed. Relationships between businesses should continue, strengthen and grow; this being a principle that Globus is firmly committed to.
Globus will work closely alongside you when evaluating your hand protection requirements, implementing the agreed programme and then continue to be on-hand for on-going support requirements.
Michelle Tilley, ABP, said: "Globus has engaged with our workers, attending roadshows to introduce the gloves into the workforce, as well as being on standby to provide support."
- Get Better Value
As proven with the implementation of a new, core range of gloves which fit the requirements of ABP's diverse cargo handling business, ABP now have a selection of gloves that will last longer than the previous solution.
Therefore, demonstrating that a high quality, fit-for-purpose glove solution can be a cost-effective solution too.
Do you need relief from your hand protection headaches? Drop us an email with your details and we'll show you how Globus can help.

The weather hit the Salaman Cup once again last week with none of the three scheduled ties played.
The Egerton Park v Bottesford quarter-final was put back a second time until tomorrow (Friday) after last Thursday's rearranged match was washed out.
Tilton and Lowesby could not raise a side for last Friday's tie and conceded it to Belvoir, while Monday's Thorpe Arnold v Melton Mowbray clash was rescheduled to next Wednesday to avoid a clash with England's European Championship tie.
The winners of the Melton-Thorpe match will meet Belvoir in the first semi-final on Friday, July 8, while Oakham will meet Egerton Park or Bottesford in the second semi seven days later.

Badbeat 18 took place on Saturday, February 20, 2016 at the Next Level Sports Complex in Garden Grove, CA. An excited crowd watched the Co-promotion with World Series of Fighting as we placed 11 of the most exciting fights in the Bamma Cage readying the BammaNation for the 2016 season.
This article and Badbeat 16 recap was originally posted on The Clinch Report.
"What though strength fails? Boldness is certain to win praise. In mighty enterprises, it is enough to have had the determination" -Sextus Aurelius Propertius
Leading up to BAMMA USA event last week, 135 lbs prospect Albert Morales boldly took to social media and called out the champion when his opponent Rob Gooch fell off the card with an injury. Despite already having a fight himself, Morales saw opportunity. Although that matchup never happened the seeds had been sewn. Instead of talking his way into a title fight, Morales was going to have to earn that shot… Read More

Economic Policies After the Death of Neoliberalism
Published on ZNet (first on LINKS), by Boris Kagarlitsky, November 12, 2011.
The international economic system that took shape after the collapse of the Soviet Union is not dead yet, but it is dying. We see that daily, not only in reports on the crisis but also in other news from around the world that tells the same story: the system isn't working.
The truth is that the system has never worked for the poor and for the toiling classes. It wasn't designed for that purpose, no matter what its propagandists and various corrupt intellectuals keep telling us. The system did work for the elites; it generated a tremendous redistribution of wealth and power in favour of those already rich and powerful, in favour of the bourgeoisie. But now it no longer delivers even for them. Though the elites aren't brave enough to admit it, the system has to be transformed … //
… We need a new model of public enterprise based on openness, on doing away with boundaries within the public sector, and on new criteria of efficiency that include contributing to social development. We have to socialise the banking system, suppressing financial speculation and encouraging investment, while providing micro-credits for small businesses, for municipalities, for job creation and for technological experimentation at the local level. Energy and transport must become public services like health care and education, and much of the production that is oriented toward these sectors must also be carried out by public enterprise. This should be part of a general effort to bring about greater interaction and integration. Producers, users and consumers must cooperate directly through public networks.
If something is public, that does not automatically mean it belongs to the state. Nevertheless, public property is created through state property, and if nationalisations are to be carried out (there is no other way we can create a new public sector), we have to transform the state. Neoliberals speak at length about the evils of bureaucracy and about official corruption, but in the world of total privatisation they happily tolerate both. Moreover, they have an interest in many ways in keeping the state inefficient and corrupt so as to deter the public from wanting to expand it through socialising private property. That is why after three decades of neoliberalism in the West, and two decades elsewhere, there has been no decrease in the level of corruption, in the number of scandals, or even in the army of often-incompetent bureaucrats. To the contrary, these have increased everywhere, including in European countries that are proud of their democratic traditions and efficiency. The state needs to be decentralised, democratised and made more open to the public. We should remember what Lenin said of the soviets in 1905 and 1917. We need bodies that are directly involved with the population. Parliamentary democracy is good, but it is not sufficient; we need institutions of direct democracy.
Finally, we need regional integration, which is not about providing open markets for Western corporations intent on selling us Chinese goods. It is about collectively protecting industrial development and introducing standards of education that fit the needs of the region. It is about science, oriented toward these same local needs, about developing new technologies that are cheap, easy to use, and friendly to a particular type of environment. It is about creating markets for local industries, in the process not just opening the way for industrialisation and reindustrialisation, but also linking them with human development. It is about integrating transport systems. It is about collectively abolishing the absurd intellectual property system imposed on us by multinational corporations, while speaking out against these corporations with a united voice. It is not about abolishing national sovereignty, as the European Union has tried to do, but about strengthening it through international representative institutions responsible to the public.
The Arab revolutions that are now shaking the world provide an opportunity to move the region and all of humanity in the direction of democratic change, which in the long run will lead us toward overcoming capitalism. These revolutions need to put forward the questions of regional integration and of economic policies oriented toward social interests. But revolutions can also fail, and be defeated. The struggle to make revolutions and to defend them takes place at a national level, but it is truly international in its meaning. To start a revolution, popular anger and the will for change can be enough, but for it to triumph, a serious political force is essential. The left in Arab countries faces the task of uniting itself and of helping to build such a force, not just as a way of contributing to the transformation of the Arab world, but in order to help change the world as a whole.

Leader. Hastings Borough Council
Although councils have provided toilets since the nineteenth century, there has never been a requirement for councils to provide toilets – it's entirely up to the council to decide where and how many toilets they should provide, and indeed whether they should provide any at all.
Since government funding of councils began to reduce significantly year-on-year from 2010, many public toilets have closed. Around 40% of council toilets have closed over the last ten years, with more under threat in the current budget consultations.
Some councils have got rid of public toilets altogether. Newcastle upon Tyne has no public toilets. The entire City of Manchester has just one. Sheffield has closed 25 of its toilets, with none left in the city centre. There are few public toilets left in central London, with none along the South Bank. Along the south coast, Bournemouth is considering closing 14 of its public toilets, and Poole has already closed all four of its town centre toilets. There are no public toilets in Brighton City centre. By 'public toilets' here I mean 'free-standing' toilet blocks. There are of course public toilets in department stores, shopping centres and public buildings such as libraries and museums.
Here in Hastings, the council maintains 16 public toilets. Half of these are on or close to the seafront. The council's public toilets cost around £385,000 a year to run. The amount of money the council has to provide services has more than halved since 2010, with a £2.2m cut in government grant over just the last year. Many services have already been reduced. But as for other councils, it's now becoming increasingly difficult to protect the more 'visible' services such as public toilets.
So in Hastings, we're proposing the closure of public toilets at Harold Place and Ore. The Harold Place toilets are particularly expensive to maintain, costing £64,000 a year. One of the key factors to consider here will be the availability of other public toilets, particularly ones accessible to disabled people. As in other towns and cities, the Hastings Council is not the only provider of public toilets. There are five other public toilets within a 500 metre radius of Harold Place, all of them accessible to wheelchair users: there are council-run toilets at Pelham Place, as well as toilets available to the public at Debenhams, Priory Meadow, Hastings Library and Hastings Pier. This is more of a problem for Ore, where there are no other nearby public toilets.
However, the decision on these toilet closures is not yet finalised. There may be alternative ways to provide toilet facilities at no cost – for example, the Harold Place building, which is in poor condition and in need of expensive repairs, could be replaced by a café with toilets available to the public, or by automated pay toilets. Other suggestions have been submitted as part of the consultation. We'll consider all these carefully before making a decision. But after years of budget cuts, spending reductions on the council's core services, such as toilets, are sadly inevitable.

The way forward for Lamborghini was unveiled at the 1971 Geneva Auto Show with the primary public display of the brand new Countach. The car's dramatic styling with its trademark scissor doors and low, angular, wedge-shaped body left all onlookers speechless. These first LP400 Countachs nonetheless beautiful of their design supplied just about no rearward visibility; a periscope-type rear-view mirror was added, lending the identify Periscopo" to the preliminary Countach sequence. Simply a hundred and fifty examples of the LP400 had been constructed earlier than the introduction of the LP400S in 1978, making these early examples, with their remarkably clean styling and purity of goal, extremely coveted and sought-after by astute collectors and marque enthusiasts at the moment. With that idea in mind, Dave and a good friend named Steve Been began a undertaking that has drawn huge controversy for the reason that idea was introduced on the varied Mopar forums. There have been a few issues although; where do you start when you're designing a car that by no means really was? What do you utilize when you have no donor car or factory designs? How do you even make it avenue authorized and insurable? Building a automotive from basically scratch is always robust.
Pohlad Company, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, history could be traced back to the Nineteen Fifties, and now by the second technology of prominent Pohlad household. Its holdings represent a wide range of industries, including banking, financial services, entertainment, business real estate, retail, automotive and expertise. Based on its web site, greater than three,500 workers in over 40 markets coast to coast. The TCA employees of 437 folks, together with those who work simply purchased Star West Chevrolet.
When you're like most individuals, you most likely spend a good amount of time in your automobile. And having a good audio system will can help you profit from your time on the highway. So in the event you're on the lookout for dependable auto audio service, come to Automotive Ideas. We are able to outfit your car with a setup that may enhance your driving experience.
This diagram type shows the precise format of the automobile wiring harness, and the principle groups of cable runs. Wires are shown as traces and are often identified with colour codes. The diagram type is more representative of how the wiring system is specified by the automobile, and particular, key points of interest, like earth factors or fundamental connector junctions are clearly recognized as to their position on the car, this might help masses if you're trying to find one of these. Nevertheless, this sort of diagram might be difficult to interpret, particularly when you are trying to observe the path of an individual cable – my recommendation…photocopy the diagram and get your highlighter pen out! it will can help you mark and follow the cable around the diagram.
All these numbers are as quick or faster than a $200,000+, all-wheel drive, paddle-shifted, 552-horsepower Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 or a $280,000 502-hp Ferrari F430 Scuderia. However forget about the numbers, the worth tags and the competitor's badges. Instead, concentrate on the large brutality happening and hair-splitting wail of the turbos at full clip. You get to watch the surroundings deform all around you because the buzzing builds to full cresendo. After giving one pal a fast blast up an empty freeway, he did not want to shake palms because his palms had been so sweaty. The GT-R is a face-puller, a neck-snapper, a pulse-pounder. Especially when you're banging off shifts in half a second with one of many world's most interesting paddle-shifted twin-clutch gearboxes. And that is in default. Pop the transmission into R-mode and the shifts are over and done with in two-tenths of a second. Bloody hell, certainly.


text: So peek with me the amenities of our little ladies. This outside front of the coop. What you see is not all there is. With the help of our uncle we were able to make this out of 100% recycled lumber(he has a plainer). Lumber from our deck tear down. The shell is the only new, walls have to be good. The nesting box has three compartments, our chickens like a double up snuggle, we have six chicks. The nesting boxes sit out from the main house with a door for our egg gathering. Note the old school wood thread spool as the handle. That theme occurs often, I craft and stuff. Moving onto the window which was provided by some friends who were tossing windows out from a remodel, our friends rock and we rocked the panes. This too opens with a spool. We have dutch doors, both top and bottom or top or bottom. Bonus chicken sized door we used a magnet and disc to hold open. Close up reveals dissected spool. Moving in there is the bathroom as they indiscriminately crap everywhere, their dining area, lounge / roosting space and then the nesting boxes which Floyd because she's a from the "dark side" chicks. If you know me you get it, and Ginger modeling their new home. If you look upward … what's that? Sky lights? Out of 2 liters? Mmhmm filled with a light splash of bleach and water for reflection and the girls have light! Building them a heat source soon out of aluminum soda cans. Stay tuned. This isn't a tutorial on how to build the coop, there is thousands of builder sites that offer plans. I wanted to share that this is almost entirely out of recycled or upcycled things. Thinking outside the box is fun. This takes a bit more planning especially if you don't have the items. So scavenging for them is part of the fun.

Los Angeles : Hollywood star Angelina Jolie Pitt's kids are all grown up and the actress is getting her 'baby fix' on the sets of her next film "First They Killed My Father".
The 41-year-old actress, who is working on film in Cambodia, was filming scenes that required hundreds of children, reported People magazine.
"I'm surrounded by toys. We have 250 children in a scene, so I filled the house, my car, my trailer with toys. It's my 'I love babies' fix," she said.
"They have to go through a labour camp.They have to cry and scream. My instinct is to want to cut and hug everyone."
"First They Killed My Father" is about the Khmer Rouge genocide.
The actress-director has six children with her husband Brad Pitt – Maddox, 14, Pax, 12, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, 9, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 7.
Pax, the second oldest, has even started working on her sets, Jolie said.

Exhibitions | Press | Just doomed | Too private to share |
The museum is closing for summer a few days early to install the 25-piece Louise Nevelson sculpture sooner than expected later this month. So don't delay seeing "Florida Contemporary" for a fascinating experience: viewing first-class work by artists one doesn't know, as well as fine art by a handful of Neapolitans.
Michael Culver, director and chief curator, selected 53 works by 47 artists. "We sent out 500 invitations. No one here was in last year's show," he said in the third floor galleries.
How does he select the art?
"I put a potential selectee's name or ideas people send me and my impressions on surveying various galleries in a bag," he explained.
"There may be 1,000 'frogs' before I find a piece I want in the show. I look at websites and I ask artists for 20 to 25 (web) images. I cut out printer images, add and subtract them from my office wall and decide the possibilities — for this show or the next one. I select the show from a final cut."
Culver said his attention is on the individual artwork, not artists' names or locations. He is willing to look at everything, meaning images or websites. He will accept this information for his file anytime (firstname.lastname@example.com) but culling begins in December. His taste is eclectic — he chooses abstraction, realism and other forms, artwork he finds directly appealing. It's a method that works in this exhibition.
There are objects here that could be shown anywhere in the "art village," novelist Tom Wolfe's phrase for the seemingly small — and perhaps it is — art world.
Carol Prusa's wall-mounted hemisphere "Multiverses" is set with tiny fiber optic lights and calls the viewer to study her minute silverpoint drawings from Adam and Eve on up. Silverpoint is a traditional technique of drawing on a surface with a wood-enclosed silver rod, resulting in extremely subtle sketches and indicating endless hours of exacting work.
Also in the exquisite realm is Christina Pettersson's large 66-by-70-inch graphite drawing on paper "Desdemona Sleeping Beside Death." In this fantasy two young identical women, one alive, one not, lie facing each other. The viewer sees the inherent psychological tension while admiring the super-sensitivity of the artist's pencil work.
Perhaps the most curious object is Billie Grace Lynn's "Hand," a sculpture combining an eight-foot tall steel-rod sculpture with a fully articulated red female hand that, when touched by the visitor, moves in humanlike motion set off by the balancing rods overhead. This is probably the first time a sculpture has shaken hands with me. The work is clearly a tour de force and unforgettable.
Attention to detail is everywhere in singly-named Kyle's "Wekiwa River," a park located in Lake and Seminole Counties. The artist has cut into a large aerial photograph of the forested river with a three-dimensional horizontal view of miniature figures enjoying the river. This may sound simple, but is unusual and perfectly executed.
Neapolitan Jo-Ann Lizio again blends a found airplane part with painted background as she continues a long and sometimes adventurous series, this time commenting on the reality of the plane and the mistiness below on land.
Also wielding impact in a more traditional mode is Angelika Kade's "Journey of Faith," a red travertine female torso roughly broken in two in a diagonal line across the chest. Kade, of Naples, views her sculpture as a homage to women who have survived breast cancer. The work proves beauty can convey poignant meaning beyond a relatively simple humanlike form.
Rainer Lagemann in "Climber" makes an anatomical study worthy of note by shaping a headless male figure from hundreds of one-inch-wide welded steel squares, only visible on close examination. Being headless and wall-mounted, the figure appears more as a design than threatening.
Speaking of form, Tallahassee artist/playwright Jeff Whipple, who had a 25-year retrospective at the von Liebig Art Center in 2003, presents "Resolve," a pencil drawing of a young man wearing a strange mask and exhibiting female breasts. Also interesting is the symbolism of the three-piece mask. The artist calls each segment a "spasm," having to do with his psychological ideas of the human condition. Whipple is a master of anatomy and offers many conundrums based on his observations of everyday life. In this work we wonder if he were just having fun or plumbing androgyny.
Artists' self-portraits are worth studying. That is certainly true of Dennis Schmalstig's oil on canvas study of himself, made up of a great number of planes and circular diffractions. We view his bearded and mustachioed face from seemingly countless planes that play against each other in scale and depth as though we might be seeing it all through a faceted water goblet or using an anamorphoscope to unscramble it.
This well installed exhibition comes with artists' statements on wall labels as well as a gallery book of further explanations.

When it comes to mothers, I have the best one around without question. My mom is a hoot. She's stubborn and sassy, and acts like she's confused about the origin of my own similar traits. She and I are alike in many ways and different in many others. We are like oil and vinegar at times, but you know what? Oil and vinegar make for a darned good dressing and we make a darned good pair.*
My friends have some pretty awesome moms, too, and we love to regale each other with our hilarious mom tales and capers. One of my favorite mom tales comes from my friend Jeremy who served in the Peace Corps in Ukraine. His mother came to visit and hilarity ensued. Our moms are all such characters!
When it comes to characters, Madelyn Atkins is right up there. Madelyn is my friend Emily's mom and she passed away two years ago. As you know, I love love love all things Georgia and Madelyn was a true southern lady if ever there was one: Stern and stoic, but charming and graceful at the same time. One of my favorite Madelyn sayings is "Don't be ugly!" which sounded like "Don't bay ugalay!" when she said it.
When I go to Savannah, Emily likes to take me around and make me sample all of the various wacky cocktails that Southerners make.** Artillery Punch, Call A Cab, Purple Passion…the list goes on, and if you drink yourself down the list you might end up sleeping in a bathtub (wasn't me!). I thought it only fitting to whip up a cocktail for Madelyn to celebrate Mother's Day.
The Madelyn
This recipe will make one cocktail. Multiply the ingredients to make a batch.
The Ingredients:
- 2oz Vodka – Grey Goose!
- 1 Peach
- 2 tbs Peach Preserves – I used all-natural preserves.
- Champagne – Any kind you like. The more dry the Champagne, the less sweet the drink.
- Ice
The Tools:
- Vegetable Peeler
- Blender or Food Processor or Vitamix
- Measuring Spoons
- Shaker
- Pint Glass
- Knife and Cutting Board
The Action:
- Peel the peach. You can leave a little skin here and there.
- Cut the peach up and discard the pit and ends.
- Place the peach in the blender (or whatever you are using) along with the preserves.
- Blend until liquefied. You want the mix to be a thin as possible.
- Place a few cubes of ice in your shaker to cool it. Let them sit for 10-15 seconds.
- Prepare a glass with ice. I used a stemless wine glass, but a rocks glass will work too.
- Add the vodka to the shaker and add the peach puree mixture on top.
- Shake for 10-15 seconds.
- Pour the mixture from the shaker into the glass. The strainer on the shaker might not work because of the thickness of the mix. Instead, flex your bartending skills: Take the top off the shaker and insert the back of a pint glass into your shaker to be a barrier against the ice.
- Carefully add champagne over the top of the mixture in the glass to your liking. Stir lightly with a straw and enjoy!
The Madelyn tastes sweet, but packs a punch…just like the real Madelyn herself. Cheers!
*I would have said "damned" there, but I can just hear my mom: "Oh, Alison – you have the mouth of a truck driver!" My apologies to the truck drivers out there…
**Bible Belt? Pshaw. I live down below the Mason-Dixon line and although there's no question that religion rules…there's also no question that Southerners like a stiff drink.

WINDHAM — This was the game everyone in Class A South was waiting for – especially, it seems, the players and coaches at perennial softball power Scarborough High.
In a showdown between unbeaten teams Tuesday, the Red Storm left little doubt that the gap between them and the rest of the region is still pretty significant.
With Abbie Murrell pitching and hitting, Scarborough routed Windham 15-0 in a game stopped after five innings because of softball's 12-run rule. Murrell allowed one hit in four innings, and drove in five runs with a homer and two singles.
"I'm just really pleased with the way my kids responded today. They were ready," said Scarborough Coach Tom Griffin. "This was a good opportunity to see what we have.
"Basically we said we wanted to send a message here to everybody that this is what we have. And (his players) wanted to play the game hard, play it all-out and see what happens, try to win all phases of the game. We went out and dominated from the get-go."
Scarborough (10-0) has pretty much dominated everyone this season, outscoring opponents 137-4. Windham (10-1) had scored 148 runs coming in.
"We were just kind of waiting for this game," said center fielder Laura Powell. "Playing another undefeated team can only happen once or twice a season. We were really motivated to win this game."
"We wanted to separate ourselves from everybody else," said Murrell.
The Red Storm scored three times in the first inning and the Eagles (10-1) never recovered.
It was a tough first inning for Windham, which allowed an infield pop-up to drop untouched next to the pitcher's circle and let in another run while throwing the ball around the infield to try to get a Scarborough runner who was already out.
"I think we just came out kind of sleepwalking from the get-go," said Windham Coach Travis Demmons. "You can't do that against a team like Scarborough. They'll take full advantage of it as they did today."
Scarborough broke it open with a 10-run third inning, sending 15 batters to the plate.
After a walk and a single to open it, Murrell hit a line-drive home run that cleared the left-field fence in about two seconds.
"I was on (second) base when it happened," said Powell. "And right when she hit it I just knew that's going to set the tone for the rest of the game. I knew that was going to hype everyone up."
By the end of the top of the third, Courtney Brochu and Bella Dickinson had RBI singles, Powell drew a bases-loaded walk and Murrell hit a scorching RBI single that ricocheted off the chest of a Windham infielder, allowing another runner to score as the ball rolled away. Two other runs came in on an error.
While pitching, Murrell allowed only a double by Olivia Mora in the fourth and struck out five.
"Abbie Murrell is a phenomenal player," said Demmons. "I can't say enough good things about her. She's been great ever since she pulled on that Scarborough jersey."
As good as the Red Storm played against the Eagles, they expect more.
"We haven't peaked yet," said Powell. "We weren't perfect. We've still got some stuff to work on."

The Pixel UV Filter is 1.8mm thick and made of high quality optical glass ensuring an accurate colour representation and high contrast in your photos. The UV Filter blocks the invisible ultraviolet radiation, which often turn your images blue and causes them to be out of focus and hazy. The filter is suitable for use in coastal and mountain areas, in clear weather. Due to its 99.6% transparency, the UV filter does not effect the exposure time and can therefore, be left on the camera lens.
In addition, the Pixel UV Filter provides adequate protection for your expensive camera lens. The filter is less delicate and more durable than the lens of your camera, meaning that the filter is less likely to be damaged in the cleaning process. The UV filter protects the camera lens against sand, water droplets etc. as it can be kept on the camera lens. Further, if the camera lens is dropped, the UV filter will break on impact, generally leaving your expensive camera lens intact.

Created from a vintage medical book, these are colorful human anatomy images of various parts of the body. The first digital human body image is of the eye. This is a wonderful digital eye image of a blue eye. The second digital body clip art image is of the human hand. I've left the descriptive words because they're interesting. And, the third human body image is of the skeleton of the hand. Again, I've left the descriptive words. The last vintage body image is of the human head.

I do not know this lady, Alicia, but I like your portrait of her very much. The red color is a nice contrast to her dark hair and the lighter tones of her skin. And since her dress is red also, it does not detract for the rest of her.
Thanks a lot!yes, it think in this particular case it was a good idea to choose the same colour for the dress and backbround. I glad you like it! I always struggle a bit with backgrounds, and in this case I decided to have degradations of tone of the same colour. Have a great day!
Yes, it was an excellent choice, Alicia.
thanks so much again! i m happy you agree!
have a great Friday-end of the wekk-day!
I wish the same for you, Alicia.
thanks so much!
love it! I'm a sucker for red! It's great Alicia.
uff! red is my favourite colour for painting! once i met an artist who doing giving art workshops and he said to me: "come to my workshop and i´ll teach you how to paint properly. The first thing i´ll teach you is NEVER to use the colours red and black". And you know what? i never called him back, why would I pay someone to teach me that i shouldn´t use my favourite colours!
I know! Right?! I've met a number of art-types who manage a little success - or a lot - and thereby think themselves visionaries who are qualified to teach in an autocratic self-centered manner. So........ I fired 'em!
then you can get all the opposite, people that teach you to find your own path, experiment, tell you that everything is allowed...and then you don´t know what to do, you are blocked because you were looking for divine guidance! that happend to me last year: I was the "Teacher" in an art workshop (free lessons) and the poor people that came along didn´t know what to do with all that freedom, they wanted strict instructions, like a "give me a recipe to make a museum-like picture". Anyway, it was free, so they couldn´t complain! (sorry again, still under the effects of the excess of coffee)
I got flak for spending more time with some students and less with others. (Thank God I was just a 'guest' instructor!) Different strokes for different folks! If we could package that 'recipe' for museum quality - - - well, hell... then we could save the world!
if we could package that recipe we´d be rich and famous finally!! but art would be less fun! some people think that if what you do is not "museum staff" then you are rubbish! (i hate that people). Let´s art & rock!
If everyone could draw like Ingress, Durer and Leonardo, then "heartfelt ineptitude" would be what everyone wanted and I would be the most famous of all.
that´s an excellent point! and afterall, even if people like museum staff (in many cases as a cultural/social thing rather than true love for art), i like to think they can also appreciate the freshness of an original arkwork. Well, at least there must be somebody out there that does! all this is getting so philosofical!
Speaking of 'Philosophy," that artist who told you to stay away from red & black was probably thinking of his patrons who are always trying to match their %^$&^^&^# sofa!! I'm working on two paintings right now which have been commissioned by stodgy old lawyers who will hang them in their dark, mahogany dens. My color palette for these is --- camouflage!! Don't worry, the truly wealthy have a 'Red Room" where they can hang our masterpieces!
and it is that true about that commissions? great! and Red Rooms rules!!!!! by the way, tomorrow i´ll post 2 very old paintings, which i did before i knew what a canvas was, on white bed sheets, with scholar quality little gouache tubes..but i love them! you´ll see, i guarantee you´ll be shocked!
Cool! If they were linen sheets, then the idea will have been in the grand tradition! And I loved little tubes of English gouache - GOTTA see these!!
at the end i didn´t manage to take the photos! They´ll be posted by Monday the lastest, i promise! Have a great weekend! Don´t you just love Fridays? and my boss is going to China for a week!! (but left me lots of work to do though ) bye for now, kisses and hugs!
Thank you dear! You do the same and I'll look for those red masterpieces next week. I wanna go to China too!
yes! masterpieces with lots of red and black!! can you believe that all my group at work are going to China except me (well, most of them)??? i just arrived to the group so they left me out! anyway, nobody will be watching if i paint all day at work, no need to hide now! where are you from in the US by the way? me i m from South of Spain but i live in Barcelona. Have great evening!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a good job anyway! Maybe next year - to China! I presume it's art-related. I'm in South Carolina now - Greenville - a mid-size town about halfway between Charlotte and Atlanta. 2 hours from the ocean, 1 hour from the Appalachian Trail & mountains. Love it here!
that would be great, if it was art-related! but then they would have had to take me with them! nop, it is booring (i meant exciting, sorry) science-related. It is has to be great in South Carolina! mountains and ocean are a great combination! going to NY myself for Easter (but not for the mountains and ocean though . Well oceans of people and mountains of cement!)
Outside - there are buds on the trees already, mourning doves are calling and spring is in the air! I love NY - in the spring - at Christmastime - When-e-ver! You should see "Billy Elliot," "Fela !," or Green Day's "American Idiot." on Broadway. Have fun!
i´ll check out for tickets! but i m a bit short of money, i´ll have to pay restaurant bills doing paintings on servillets like Picasso! you think I could get a theater ticket like that?? I could paint them a little "Manowar" guy!
Sure! Try The Odeon down around 125th Street. It's relatively cheap, very good and you might see somebody notable. Better save Manowar for the East Village and paint some of the "Jersey Boys" Oh, bring a sheet - The Odeon is a diner!
thanks for the advice!! and if the Odeon (i´ll definitively try to go) people don´t like my sheet pic, I might be lucky, spot a celebrity, do a super fast portrait only with red and black, say it is super trendy/new school, get some cash from them for it, and pay the bill!
Good plan! Try the flan. Yum!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm a NY flan!!!!! YUMMY!
Yep. Creme Brulee -- extra think glaze - Picture of Kirstie Alley on the wall! Lots of good looking people fresh from the theater district all around - even the wait staff are hot Broadway wannabees.
cool! i m so looking forward to go! I m sure it will feel like being in a movie all the time! I´ll do some warming up exercises in the neck every morning for NY sightseeing
You'll have a great time! Here we have a TV show called "The Dog Whisperer." Caesar Millan shows how to "train dogs & rehabilitate people." His watchwords for that are also good for navigating New York: "No touch, No talk, No eye contact!"
that is funny. you know, we have a lot of eye contact in spain/france/italy etc. During my training to work in England, I was told I should absolutely avoid looking at people´s eyes and do not gesticulate (we also do that a lot) when we speak. It was hard for me not to do it! so is it the same that the UK in the US then? i´ll look like a freak in NY, because i tend to smile at random people in the streets when i m happy!
Just in New York. If you smile at them, they will think... GOD KNOWS what they will think!! Not really! It's a city mostly like any other. I hope you get lucky and get in the "Cash Cab!" You will then be on TV and play a quiz game to win $1000 or more right there in the cab! (It looks like a station wagon)
to be honest i m kind of fascinated by the US culture. Not sure why, as I only know about it from TV! (don´t tell me it is REALLY like on TV!) i´d love to get in that "Cash Cab"
With all the 'reality' shows -- I'm afraid it IS like TV! And on Rodeo Drive, in Palm Springs, or South Beach -- it's better!! 'Cause it couldn't be worse!
i´ll let you know about my experience! i´ve only been in LA in a congress, and i must say i was a little bit dissapointed because there were lots of healthy stuff to eat!! and portions were not big a all! (californian lifestyle maybe?) but now i want the really thing!! where are those huge burgers i´ve seen on TV?
Oh yeah! 'Diners & Dives' has a new one often - a 5 lb. 'finish it and it's free' burger Every town has a Somewhere they serve a "Bypass Burger!" I once had lamb chops at a 5-star LA restaurant which were so good... I wanted to gnaw the bones!! I was usually doing business wherever so, I always had an expert guide.
talking about food..i brought to work today breakfast for everybody (i spent more than 20 euro) because i had some good results, and my breakfast overlapped with a birthday cake...terrible! and i m having my lunch now! have a great weekend my friend!! sending you some pics of the amazing snowfall we had last week!
Please do! Spring snows are always such a shock Congratulations on your good results!
thanks! although next time i bring breakfast for the group i´ll make sure there are no bithdays on that day...i had to eat 90% of the breakfast over the weekend, it was certainly an excess!! still recovering!"!!!!!
OK... then here are some bulemic Smileys for you: There. Feel better?
that reminds me that the week in NYC i have eaten more eggs than in 3 months at home! do people really have 2 eggs every day???
Nah. Maybe the big porkers do... you were just eating in those fancy hotels! Eggs Benedict! Yum.
fancy hotels?! not really. I´d rather say "nightmare on elm street" hotel! we were sharing bathroom with many other people, and that´s fine, except if you have a crazy guy next to you taking 4 showers of 30min a day, two of which during the night!!! (our room was just next to the shower...). we didn´t even got towels in the room!! oh well, i guess i m still not old enough to care so much about that! otherwise i couldn´t have afforded it and i would have ended up (again) spending Easter with the crazy Spaniards of the google pics i told you about!
I think I stayed in that hotel! We went to see the first big show by this new artist named Andy Warhol. The next time I went, we stayed at the Plaza and there were seven (7!!) lamps in our room. I liked the Plaza better. Hotels don't matter much. I am SO glad you had a great time! I have seen those google pics... looks like Mardi Gras, Carnivale, Cinco de Maya & a big Superbowl Party all rolled into one!
i agree! and mix it all with Flamenco singing to the Virgin Mary, heavy scent of flowers and lots of crying of emocionated women watching the parade! (my grandma used to take me there we i was little, i m still traumatised! ). And now i think it is cute! i m definitely getting old! WOW!! you saw Andy Warhol???
Parades make me crazy anyway. Maybe if it was all custom Harleys ... Poor Baby Alicia, little did Granny know she was turning you into a Metalhead! We didn't see Andy there, just his show - & that Cambell's Soup painting.
the Harley´s customs would make it really something! and yes, maybe that traumatic experience with my Granny and parades made be become the Metalhead i m now! it is her fault! We also saw the Cambell´s Soup painting, quite impressive to see it in a gallery!! hav a greta weekend!!!
U2 Alicia!
thanks! have chilled evening my friend! we just receiced a postcard we sent to ourselves from NY! and finally spring is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravooo! Este es un hermoso retrato!
muchisimas gracias Marino! tus retratos son preciosos tambien, me encantan! me alegro de que te gusten los mios. POr cierto, allá en Perú es popular el Flamenco por casualidad? besos!
El flamenco y otras variedades de la música popular española siempre son bien recibidas en Perú. No es muy popular en la mayoría actualmente pero siempre hay grupos selectos que saben apreciarlo. Particularmente yo amo el arte español en su conjunto. Su música, sus películas de la época clásica, etc. Gracias por tus palabras mi bella Alicia. Muchos saludos a esa hermosa tierra de España.
Has visitado España alguna vez? A mi me gustaría muchisimo visitar Sudamérica, nunca he tenido ocasion de ir. Aqui en España tampoco es muy popular el Flamenco, lo cual es sorprendente! Es más popular en paises con Inglaterra, Alemania o Japón! Nunca apreciamos lo que tenemos, supongo. Yo misma, no me enamoré del Flamenco hasta que pasé unos años en Inglaterra! Cuando estás fuera, sientes más la llamada de la patria, supongo.. encantada de hablar contigo!!
Algún día estaré por ahí. Tengo familiares y amigos en España. Bienvenida seas!
gracias! y espero que puedas visitar España pronto! muchos besos!

Another property of substances is density. The density of a substance is its weight per volume. That is, density = weight W , or D = 1volume1 1V1 For liquids, density is usually measured in grams per milliliter (g/mL). Which do you predict is less dense, water or cooking oil? Why? ) To confirm your prediction, weigh a 100-mL graduated cylinder. Fill the cylinder to the 100-mL line with water and reweigh. How many grams does 100 mL of water weigh? What is the density of water in g/mL? Repeat the experiment using cooking oil.
Charge the comb as before and have your friend move her finger so that a thin stream of oil flows into another cup several feet below the opening. Does the stream bend when you hold the charged comb near it, as shown in Figure 12? What can you conclude about the molecules of cooking oil? Repeat the experiment using rubbing alcohol and a new Styrofoam cup. What happens this time? Can you conclude that the molecules of rubbing alcohol are polar? Rubbing alcohol is 70 percent isopropanol (also called isopropyl alcohol) and 30 percent water.
Then add about twice as much cooking oil. Do vinegar and cooking oil appear to be miscible? Put the cap on the jar. Then shake the jar in order to break up the liquids and mix them together. Notice the tiny droplets of cooking oil spread throughout the liquid. Such a mixture is called an emulsion. Let the emulsion sit for a few minutes. What happens to the two liquids over time? Why is this mixture called a temporary emulsion? Where else have you seen an emulsion? One example is an oil spill in the ocean.

Being Sri Lanka's most popular historic site, it dates back to the 1st century B.C., as a centre of pilgrimage for Buddhists and also Hindus for about 22 centuries. It holds fame as the largest antique painted surface in the world as the walls are covered with meticulous, 2000 year old murals depicting the life and times of Lord Buddha along with a collection of 157 statues of Buddha in various sizes and poses, including a 15m long reclining Buddha. As pilgrims and tourists climb up barefoot the sloping ground and several series of stairs almost to the summit, 100m above the plain, there views a spot of multiple images of Lord Buddha, either lying, standing or seated along with the five caves and shrine rooms. These astounding frescoes and the abrupt size and the antiquity of the caves persuaded UNESCO that Dambulla is a must to be preserved as a World Heritage Site.
The Temple of the Great King, the largest and the most monumental of the caves, are enclosed with a patchwork of frescoes, easy to be overwhelmed. Though these stunning paintings were originally done by Kandyan artists during the 17th century, it's not possible to date the Dambulla paintings definitely, since they have been over-painted throughout centuries. Despite of the life and times of Lord Buddha, there also shows up paintings of Jataka tales, battles and important events in the Sri Lankan history. While this impressive cave temple highlights the Sinhalese Buddhist art it is a must to say that Dambulla is an astonishing destination ever to witness.

How To Clean A Hydration Pack Properly
Have you bought a hydration pack yet? If you're a keen hiker, cyclist or long-distance runner then you should get one right now! When you think about how to clean a hydration pack, you probably just envisage rinsing it with some water and that's that.
If you really want to take care of your new hydration pack then keep reading – these tips will be useful for you!
First of all, if you're a beginner hiker and aren't too sure about hydration packs then check this post out. It's an amazing piece of gear and I honestly didn't realise how hard I was making it for myself before I started using them.
I assume you're reading this because you use a hydration pack but you're not quite sure what to do with it after a day in the hills.
I totally understand. After an exhausting day of hiking, probably the last thing on your mind is cleaning your gear. Cleaning and drying your boots as well as your hydration pack should be a priority, not just now but in the long-term.
I started off by using just water to clean the bladder but this doesn't do it completely. It rinses out the pack but I still find that, once it's left to dry for a while, the bladder will smell a bit weird after a couple of days. While I haven't experienced mould yet, I know this is what will come next.
There are a couple of ways you can approach this and the cheapest is to use general home ingredients. There are some specific chlorine tablets sold by Camelbak but these are rather pricey.
The Camelbak below is what I'm currently using and the first part I make sure I clean is in and around the opening port.
The whole cleaning process is very simple:
1. Fill the reservoir with hot water and mix in two tablespoons of bleach. Bicarbonate of soda (baking soda in the US) will also do. NEVER use boiling water to clean the bladder.
2. Shake the bladder vigorously to make sure the cleaning agent reaches every face, kink and corner.
3. Hold the reservoir upside down and squeeze the bite valve (don't bite it whatever you do!). This allows the liquid to pass through and clean the tube and valve. Do this a couple of times for maximum effect.
4. I then recommend you leave the hydration pack with the liquid inside for a while. No more than an hour should be sufficient.
5. Wash the reservoir again with a small amount of soap to get rid of the bleach/bicarbonate. Wash it again a few times with pure water. Make sure ALL the cleaning liquid is gone.
6. If you have a small brush then this facilitates the cleaning process (a sponge will also do the trick). You can also buy a cleaning kit. Make sure that you efficiently scrub/rinse the bite valve.
7. Before leaving the reservoir to dry, make sure you get most of the water out. You can do this by squeezing in some toilet paper or a thin towel to absorb the bulk of it.
8. Leave the reservoir open and upside down to let all the water droplets dry. I find the best way is on a coat hanger. Expand the inside as much as you can to completely dry it. Again, make sure no moisture remains inside because this causes mould to grow.
Simple as that! If you follow these steps you'll ensure a clean and fresh-smelling hydration pack before your next hike/run/cycle.
The Camelback below is what I'm currently using and the first part I make sure I clean is in and around the opening port.
Further Points
If you can detach the hose then you should clean around the attachment port. My pack doesn't actually detach so I make sure to get in and around the valve as much as possible.
An advanced way of cleaning the hose is to buy a special cable. This can be fed through the tube and rub against the edges to get rid of any trace of grime or mould. If you already take good care of your hydration pack then this method may be a bit overkill.
If you are using cleaning tablets then follow the same procedure as above, just replace the cleaning agent with the tablets.
If you previously had a lot of mould on your hydration pack and do manage to get it all off, you may be left with some stains. Don't worry about this, the important thing is getting shot of that lumpy dung.
TIP: You might find that there's a bit of a groovy taste to the hydration pack the next time you use it. If this is the case, add more water and less bleach next time. If it persists then consider buying bicarbonate of soda and just stick to that.
Alternative Cleaning Methods
Efferdent is supposed to be a good cleaning agent for hydration packs but I've never tried this.
Another method to completely make sure that no mould grows is to stick your hydration pack in the freezer between hikes! Nothing grows below about -18 Celsius (-0.4 F). It may be unorthodox but does the trick!
I've also heard of it being effective to add strong alcohol such as vodka or whiskey to the hydration pack. I DON'T recommend this. I mean, you can try but don't be surprised if your hydration pack never smells the same again.
The key is preventing mould before it grows. In a nutshell, you want to get all the water and bacteria out of the bladder and get it dry as quickly as possible.
These techniques aren't just for after hiking, this was my example because it's when I most often use my hydration pack. Packs are commonly used by distance runners and cyclists – the same protocol should apply after doing these activities.
If you've had your hydration pack for quite a while and are finding that the mould, funky smell, mildew or whatever is inside persists, then it's probably time to buy yourself a new pack. Your time is only worth so much and you now know how to treat your new pack!
There are some more expensive hydration packs which actually have an anti-microbial layer on the inside to prevent bacteria growth. This design even has a 'self-cleaning' system.
As always, thanks a lot for reading and I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions in the comments box below. 🙂

Laurie Long
I just heard that Laurie Long died quite suddenly of heart failure, during treatment for lung cancer, on Thursday, September 13. Laurie is in black in the photo with (L to R) M. Simon Levin, Piotr Adamczyk, and Kevin Hamilton. I remember when Laurie came to my cabin during one of her trips to Champaign-Urbana from Vancouver, and the stories she told of animals and growing up, as we walked along the levee and through the woods. She was very excited to see cardinals.
She and Simon did so many interesting things, both here and in Australia, in Canada, and California. I am thinking of the film loop from their work in the Australian salt flats…what an eerie, gorgeous, damaged landscape seen from the air. It was mesmerizing.
What a loss.
One thought on "Laurie Long"
I was looking for a long lost friend named Laurie Long. Its been many years since I last saw her and was wondering if the Laurie you wrote of is the one I lost contact with. My old friend Laurie grew up in Calgary and studied film at Simon Fraser U in the nineties. Sadly, the picture you posted looks like her.
I'm hoping that the Laurie you have written about and her passing in 2007 is not my old friend. Please reply.

January 16th, 2013
When the students of Manipal Institute of Technology, Karnataka, India approached us at Altem technologies for 3D Printing some complex manifold parts with durable plastic material as they were Competing in Formula SAE Autocross Racer Design Contest, there was lot of ambiguity in their own designs as they could not iterate and optimise the designs. This was a serious handicap and they had also encountered some issues in the design of the manifold as it had cracked because of a back fire from the engine.
Considering the challenging situation and with a very limited time line, Application Engineers at Altem Technologies Bangalore, India chipped in with the idea of using parts printed of Ultem 9085 material with Stratasys FDM Technology based 3D Printer ,Fortus 400mc. The Intake manifold , the upper and lower plenums and runners were 3D printed using the durable Ultem 9085 material which could with stand the emissions and demanding temperatures upto 170 Deg C . To further enhance the performance, a coating of Epoxy was applied to the inner surface and then mounted on the engine.
As expected, the 3D printed intake manifold with Ultem 9085 material, was able to withstand pressures upto 60 Kpa at an intake temperature of 41.4 Deg C, which is 15 Deg more than the required range. The data recorded at the oil sensor switch was also satisfactory with enough suction and delivery of 95 psi to the head as well.
The students and the faculty were satisfied with the results of the 3D printed parts from Altem / Stratasys and expressed their gratitude for the timely support offered to their Formula SAE Student Competition project.

MEYERSDALE - With the rope clenched tight in his grip, 29-year-old Chris Prange prepared for another night in the ring.
By day, he is a real estate investor, but, by night, he does business in a little piece of property called a bull ring.
Wednesday, Prange was one of 23 riders competing in the Dave Martin Rodeo at the Somerset County Fair.
The nine-year veteran said he always wanted to compete, but because he is from Southeastern Pennsylvania, never thought that it was possible.
"I always thought that you had to live in the South or Southwest," he said. "I think that I like doing it because I am one that is always up for a challenge."
