I have a Hunter sprinkler system that controls 6 different sprinkler zones and keeps both my front and back yard nice and green. I have it programmed to start at 4:15 a.m. when my family is sound asleep, and it finishes cycling through the various zones at around 5:30. This morning however, I noticed the sprinklers hadn't turned on, so I opened the case of my main controller panel and saw that it was flashing "NO AC".
After looking at the owner's manual, I found out that "NO AC" means that it's not getting power and is running on it's backup battery. So I followed the cord to where it was plugged into the wall, and noticed that it had a GFI test/reset plugin installed.
Removing the "NO AC" message was as simple as pushing the button on the electrical outlet in the wall, to reset the line.
If you don't have power to the electrical outlet, check all of your wall switches, timers, or power strips that might be connected to the outlet.
You might also need to have an electrician check your GFI breaker if this tip doesn't restore power to the sprinkler unit.

Conrad Aiken wrote too much poetry, was too imitative, hammered one bad idea too long, and gave his books terrible titles. Yet, helped by the magic of online scans, I have been read his first five books, from Earth Triumphant (1914) through The Charnel Rose (1918). Five books in five years! That is what I mean by too much. The Jig of Forslin: A Symphony (1916) – that is what I mean by bad titles, and the bad idea, of attributing musical structures to poems, is also visible. In Nocturne of Remembered Spring: And Other Poems (1917), for example, besides the title poem there is a "Sonata in Pathos," a "Nocturne in a Minor Key," and so on. "I do not wish to press the musical analogies too closely," Aiken writes in Poetry in June 1919, in a review of one of his own books. Fair enough.
He was invited to write that review. "Even so, the variation of tine has not been carried far enough: a little more statement and a little less implication would have been a good thing, for it verges on the invertebrate." Accurate.
As for imitative, Aiken was all too adept at picking up whatever was in the air. Imagism, Spoon River Anthology, T. S. Eliot – to my ear, mostly Eliot. Aiken's poems often include a Prufrock or Sweeney-like figure – Forslin, he of the "jig" above, is one of them – introverted, interiorized, old before his time.
You see me: I am plain: and growing baldish.
The clothes I wear are old, but carefully kept. ("Jig," I.iiii.)
But starring in a much longer, more repetitive ("symphonic") poem. Bloated Eliot, gaseous Eliot.
Useful, though. Aiken has helped me see what is going on around him. That is one reason I have been reading his early poems. The other reason is of course that the poems are often quite good. "Senlin: A Biography," a 1918 poem, has a great one. I have to break the symphony into its component poems.
It is morning, Senlin says, and in the morning
When the light drips through the shutters like the dew,
I arise, I face the sunrise,
And do the things my fathers learned to do.
Stars in the purple dusk above the rooftops
Pale in a saffron mist and seem to die,
And I myself on a swiftly tilting planet
Stand before a glass and tie my tie.
The stanzas repeat and develop this mismatch between the ordinary, pointless ritual activity and the narrator's sense of his place in the cosmos, and similarly his astonishment by mundane natural details that he experiences himself ("Vine leaves tap my window") and those that he can only imagine ("a sun far off in a shell of silence"), some of which may be contiguous with "god," who is "immense and lonely as a cloud." "Silence" is one of the repeated motifs.
The earth revolves with me, yet makes no motion,
The stars pale silently in a coral sky.
In a whistling void I stand before my mirror,
Unconcerned, and tie my tie.
I don't know what happens next with Aiken. His Collected Poems is a thousand pages long; his Collected Stories is only half as long. Maybe I will switch to a Selected Poems sometime. Not yet.

We went to the park, then ice cream, then out with friends for dinner.
I cuddled my little one to sleep.
But before that I made this with her (she helped with the tearing and gluing).

Sounds like a lovely Saturday! Unfortunately my Saturday wasn't very spring like in the weather department, but I had lunch with friends, visited a couple used book stores and cuddled with my daughter before taking a nap. Who could ask for anything more?ReplyDelete

When you enter the home of your host, whether as a visitor or an overnight guest, one should not closely examine its contents as an inspector would. It is important to limit ones observation to what you need to see. Do not open closed closets, suitcases, files or boxes. Do not inspect a wallet, a package or a covered object. This is against Islamic manners and is an impolite betrayal of the trust your host has accorded to you. In order to cultivate the hosts love and respect, one should uphold these manners during the visit.
Imam al-Muhasibi (رحمة الله عليه) in Risalat al-Mutarshidin said, "The duty of sight is to preclude forbidden sights and not to try and see what has been hidden or covered. Likewise Dawud al-Ta'i said,
"I was told we would be accountable for our minor gazes, as we are accountable for our minor deeds".
The Arab poet, Miskin al-Darimi said,
"My neighbour need not worry if his door is not closed".
1. Do not closely examine anything or uncover that which is hidden.
2. Do not be nosey and keep your gaze lowered.
3. Inspecting without permission is a breach of trust and a sign of the munafiq.
4. Uphold and know these ettiquettes in order to gain reward with Allah (سبحانه وتعالى).

When I get dressed, my wife checks that the colors I choose match, says Michael. At breakfast she selects a piece of fruit for me because I can't see if the fruit is ripe. At work I can't always see where to click on the computer screen, since items are often distinguished by color. When I'm driving, red and green traffic lights appear the same to me, so I observe whether the illuminated light is on top or on the bottom. Horizontal lights, however, can present a problem.
Light from object passes through the CORNEA and the LENS and is focused on the RETINA. THE RETINA contains CONE CELLS and ROD CELLS. Together they give the full range of vision. THE CONE CELLS are sensitive to RED, GREEN, OR BLUE light. The OPTIC NERVE carries visual impulses to the brain. The image is inverted but corrected later by the brain.
Tests to discover the type and degree of color-vision deficiency that a person has often employ patterns of dots in various hues and shades. The widely used Ishihara test consists of up to 38 different patterns. For example, when viewing one of the test patterns in daylight, a person with normal vision should see the numbers 42 and 74, while someone having a red-green deficiency –the most common –may see no numbers at the top and 21 at the bottom.
If testing reveals a defect, an eye doctor may recommend further tests to determine whether it was inherited or has some other cause.
Inherited color deficiencies are carried on the X chromosome. Women have two X chromosomes, while men have one X and one Y. Thus, if a woman inherits a visual defect in an X chromosome, the normal gene in the other chromosome will likely override it, and her vision will be fine. But a man who inherits a defect on his X chromosome has no other X chromosome to fall back on.
Michael has color-vision deficiency, also called color deficiency or color blindness. He inherited a genetic flaw that causes a defect in the retina –the light-sensitive inner lining of the eyes. Michael shares this condition with about 1 of every 12 males of European ancestry and about 1 of every 200 females.
Like the vast majority of sufferers, Michael can see different colors –he does not see only black and white. But some colors do not look the same to him as they do to people with normal vision.
In the human eye, the retina normally contains three kinds of CONE-SHAPED color-sensitive cells. Each kind is tuned to the wavelength of a different primary color of light –blue, green, or red. Light of different wavelengths triggers the corresponding cones, which signal the brain and enable one to perceive colors.
In people with color-vision deficiency, however, the sensitivity of the cones to one or more colors is weak or shifted in wavelength, so that their response to color is altered. Most sufferers have difficulty distinguished between yellow, green, orange, red, and brown. This effect can make it hard to see green mold on brown bread or on yellow cheese or to distinguish a blue-eyed blonde from a green-eyed redhead. If a person's red-sensitive cones are very weak, a red rose appears black. Very few sufferers cannot see blue.
Color-vision deficiencies can be found in all racial groups, but it is most common among Caucasians. Many animals can discern colors, although their color vision differs from ours. Dogs, for example, have only two kinds of cones in their retinas –one for blue and the other for a hue between red and green. Some birds, on the other hand, have four kinds of cones and can detect ultraviolet light, which is beyond the human range.
Defects in color vision are usually inherited and present at birth, and children with the condition often learn unconsciously to compensate. For instance, even if they cannot see the difference between certain hues, they may perceive differences in contrast and brightness and associate these variations with the names given to the colors.
They may also learn to identify objects by surface patterns and textures instead of by color. In fact, many young people remain unaware of their disability throughout childhood.
Because schools often use color-coded teaching tools, especially in the early grades, parents and teachers may mistakenly think that a child has a learning disability when in fact, he may have a color-vision deficiency. One teacher even punished a five-year old boy for painting a picture that had pink clouds, green people, and trees with brown leaves. To a child with color-vision deficiency, these colors may seem perfectly normal. For good reason, therefore, some authorities recommend routine color-vision testing in early childhood.
Color-vision deficiency can sometimes be caused by disease if you notice changes in your color vision later in life.
Although there is no known cure for this condition, it neither worsens with age nor increases the risk for other defects in vision. Still, color-vision deficiency is a disability that can be frustrating.

After Paterno Firing, Happy Valley Loses It
Earlier this week, in a typically smart column with an unfortunate headline that belied the actual point of the piece, Washington Post columnist Sally Jenkins crystallized the Penn State story by comparing what has happened there with what has happened with the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts. Not with regards to the abuse, though of course that's a part of it, but Penn State's reaction to the abuse.
Former FBI agent Ken Lanning explained to Jenkins why Penn State was the ideal place for a monster to exist, and why the campus and the administration, even after all that has come out, still fights for itself:
"This is something that can happen to all institutions, but it is worse in organizations that have a certain aura about them," Lanning says. "Two of the largest organizations in this country that have the biggest problem with this are the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts. When you have that image, a program idolized as pure, the harder it is to admit you've made a mistake. If you have this need to appear to be perfect, the harder it is to admit that you made an error in judgment."
This, while certainly not forgiving, does help explain the insane, legitimately scary reaction of the Penn State campus and community after Joe Paterno was fired last night, starting with the strangest press conference we've ever seen (in which "journalists" actually began screaming, and which ended with students tipping over vans and marching through campus chanting "Fuck The Media." We stand from the outside, without the emotions of 50 years of attachment to the same supposed sterling institution, and we wonder, baffled, how can they not see? They are reacting to Paterno's firing not as an obviously necessary beginning to a protracted, perhaps endless healing process, but as an invasion by foreign hostiles. They have idealized their program as pure, and this is leading to even more errors in judgment. By circling the wagons of their closed-off community, they are making this so much worse. The rest of us look on, aghast.
Well, everyone other than Ashton Kutcher, anyway.
The campus cleanup will come today, and Penn State will face its first day in 61 years without Joe Paterno at the center of its world. There will be more protests, and more screaming, and more pain. There's a football game on Saturday, the last home game of the season, and the first without Paterno as a coach since 1949. It will be the end of everything, and a last fight against the dying of the light. They are not going to let this go easily. This is going to get uglier, again. Saturday is going to be madness.
Growing Up Penn State [Grantland]


text:
The growth of Spanish remains strong. According to the national Institute of Statistics (INE) of the Kingdom, the Spanish GDP rose 0.7 % in the last quarter of 2016. On the whole the year 2016, the growth in Spain increased by 3.2 %, the same pace as in 2015. This is a growth the highest in the euro zone.
The detail of these figures will not be known as the 2 next march, but economists believe that growth is mainly based on domestic demand, and particularly household consumption, which was sustained by the gains in purchasing power associated with inflation still low and the drop in unemployment. Fiscal policy should also support growth, as is the case for the past three years (and this is one of the reasons for the disappointing results of the ratios of budget of the country). The investment should also be strengthened. Finally, despite the export growth, the growth in Spanish remains very greedy of imports : the contribution of external trade is expected to remain low.
The last quarter is experiencing a rate of growth equal to that of the third quarter. However, it should be remembered that this rate of 0.7% is the lowest since the last quarter of 2014. Year-on-year growth of Spanish in the fourth quarter amounted to 3 %, which is less than the third quarter (3.2 %) and this is the lowest level since the first quarter of 2015. Despite all this, Spain has a rate of recovery supported and, Ireland excepted, which is unique among the countries that have experienced the visit of the troika and have found themselves at the centre of the european debt crisis of 2010-2013.
growth with less employment than before
The Uk has now surpassed its level of GDP from before his "second recession" that began in the last quarter of 2010 of almost 3 %. This second recession that lasted until the third quarter of 2013. On the other hand, the wealth of Spanish remains still 0.4% below its high point in the second quarter of 2008, but we can say that, now, Spain has erased the bulk of its years of crisis. With however a difference : the unemployment, although declining, remains very high at 18.9 % of the active population in December 2017, compared with 14.8 % at the high point of the growth, in December 2008.
In addition, it can be seen on the long-term growth of the Spanish remains, in fine, moderate. In ten years, between the third quarter of 2006 and 2016, the Spanish GDP increased by 3.1 %. It is certainly better than Italy, Greece and Portugal which have not found their level of wealth ten years ago, but it is vastly lower than the growth in French (7.4 %) and German (12.2 per cent). In the end, beyond the impressive figures of current economic growth in Spain, it is important to keep in mind a few items : the country has experienced a true "lost decade" in and out of the crisis socially fragile : it is one of the countries where the risk of poverty is the highest in the euro zone and where inequalities are the most important.
Two negative elements to 2017
The challenge will therefore be to maintain in 2017 that growth. Observers tend, however, to expect a slowdown in the pace. If Spain should benefit from an improvement in the european context, several elements to play against the force of the growth. First, the resumption of inflation. Spain is a country where prices are more sensitive to the price of oil. Inflation is thus accelerated markedly by the end of the year after years of decline. The problem is that the growth of the purchasing power of the Spaniards was mainly a function of this low inflation. Wages follow prices ? So far, they have remained without dynamics. Without wage growth, real incomes and hence household consumption should slow down.
Another negative : the fiscal policy which, in reality, has been one of the key elements of the recovery. The european Commission has forced Madrid to engage in a fiscal consolidation, fast, with, in particular, tax increases of 5 billion euros. This will be a support to the growth of the Spanish, who may not now what to expect in a strong increase in the external growth and a further recovery of the investment. Nevertheless, the country could remain in the leading pack of european growth, with GDP growth expected to near 2.5 %.

Our Five Favourite Alternative Valentine's Day Ideas
Posted on Feb 09, 2015
Looking to break the mold and do something different for Valentine's Day this year? Give that special someone in your life a day to remember, with one of our five alternative Valentine's Day ideas:
1) A Romantic Retreat:
Make the most of some time to yourselves by escaping to luxury self-catering apartments, The Saddle & Stable Rooms, Sennen.
Enjoy some quality time together by working as a team on an exciting new recipe; cosy-up on the sizable-sofa with your favourite snacks and watch a movie, or explore the great outdoors with Land's End and Sennen Cove both only a stone's throw away.
2) An Outdoor Picnic:
Show your loved one how thoughtful you are but putting together a selection of his/her favourite foods, snacks and drinks. A rug, a bottle of Prosecco, a flask of tea or coffee and a selection of sandwiches, cheeses, pasta and salads. Everyone's a winner!
...and what better backdrop than the 100 acres of rugged natural landscape at Land's End, or a your favourite West Cornwall beach.
3) Ice Skating:
Whether you're beginners, intermediates or Cornwall's answer to Torvill and Dean – you're sure to have a great time gliding across the ice on the Eden Project's ice-rink.
4) A Scenic Walk and a Pub Lunch:
Work up an appetite by embarking on a trek across one of the many footpaths available in West Cornwall – a great way to drink up the unique local scenery.
The one mile footpath between Sennen Cove and Land's End has proven incredibly popular amongst our visitors, while the renowned South West Coast Path also runs through the westernmost point of Cornwall.
Just a mile up the road is The First & Last Inn – well known of its mouth-watering home-cooked food and selection of local ales; a surefire way to satisfy your hunger after a brisk Spring walk.
5) A Relaxing Cruise:
We all know that Cornwall is spoilt for wildlife; so, what better place to enjoy a wildlife cruise than Cornwall's River Helford.
Cruising the Cornish waters at a leisurely pace and keeping your eyes peeled for an array of wildlife unique to the area is bound to leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"I have had a sore throat on and off for a while. What could it be?"
I've been to my family doctor and had a throat swab but cam back normal. If it was cancer would it show up on a swab test...I suffer from depression and I am having bad panic attacks...please help
Having a sore throat can be a very uncomfortable feeling. So far you've done the right thing which is to present to your primary care physician's office and get a throat swab for strep. Since it came back normal it does not seem like you require antibiotics for this problem. Your doctor should look for another cause of your sore throat. The most common causes of sore throat include viral pharyngitis, postnasal drip from a viral upper respiratory tract infection, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. If you have a runny nose then postnasal drip is likely the cause of your sore throat. If you have a viral pharyngitis, your throat will feel sore for a while but will get better over the course of one to two weeks. If your sore throat does not get better over 1 to 2 weeks then it really might be gastroesophageal reflux disease also known as acid reflux. This would especially be true if you found that your throat was most sore in the mornings. Acid travels up the esophagus and irritates the throat. I would suggest that you return to your primary care doctor for another examination. He or she will examine these other possibilities. If postnasal drip is suggested then you might get a prescription for a decongestant or nasal spray. If acid reflux is suspected then you could get a prescription for an antacid.

Chandra Wilson, "Dr. Bailey" on ABC's Grey's Anatomy, recently visited Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Program team. In this video, Chandra Wilson provides advice for parents of children with cyclic vomiting syndrome. The Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Program at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin is one of only a few programs of its kind in the country, and the largest focused on children. Learn more: CHW.org.
"GREY'S ANATOMY" Featured Adult Patient with CVS
Episode Aired November 15th, based on illness of the daughter of Actor/Director Chandra Wilson.
A Message from Chandra
At the 2012 CVSA family conference, I was specifically asked by our sufferers to find a way to get CVS on to Grey's Anatomy. Grey's historically focuses less on the medicine of our patients and more on the lives of our regular characters and how they are impacted by the medicine and personal issues. Still, I made a pitch to my producers for a two episode arc of a 25 year old male character who repeatedly comes in to the ER with what we know are classic CVS episodes, vomiting bile, writhing in pain, dehydrated and no one there with him to speak as his advocate. He would eventually tell of how his school/work/personal life has been impacted by his illness, and begs to be taken seriously and for someone to figure out what's wrong. Just as he is about to go through an unnecessary exploratory Laparotomy as a last resort to see if something surgical was causing his episodes, he was to get diagnosed with CVS by Arizona Robbins who has CVS knowledge from working in pediatrics. But, I was offered Santa in a one episode arc. Weighing the pros, I decided that here was a vehicle to say the name Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome out loud on national television to up to 10 million viewers. Here was an opportunity to produce a Public Service Announcement to drive traffic to CVSA, its message board and Facebook page. Here was chance that for all that would be missing in the Grey's storyline, your comments and commentaries and posts would fill in the blanks for anyone coming to CVSA for the first time looking for validation or a name to take to their physician or a community of support that they never knew existed. We collectively accomplished that last night.
Phones rang the next morning, hits were made to the website and comments were posted. Even the disappointed posts spoke graphically of the reasons why the content didn't do enough justice to the experience of CVS way better than any episode of Grey's Anatomy could portray. We would need a Television Movie of the Week centered on a family affected by the CVS of one of the family members in order to accurately expose what our lives are like as sufferers and caretakers.Maybe I have earned the credibility to accomplish something like that now for us.
Even as I write this, Sarina has just finished an 11 day stay in Children's Hospital Los Angeles with one of her most violent episodes of relapsing CVS after almost 2 years of a break. I'm watching for every change in facial expression, keeping the trash can nearby, waiting for her gut to start regular motility again, eager for what is her normal energy level to return, praying that two days ago was indeed the end of this relapse so that she can go back to being a 19 year old college student with her whole life in front of her. That's CVS.

The University of Arizona Museum of Art (UAMA) is part of UA's 'Museum Neighborhood', a grouping of four museums in close proximity on the University campus. UAMA maintains a busy schedule of exhibitions, of works in all different media from all eras in art history to the present, including exhibitions by UA students and faculty. The permanent collection of over 5,000 works of art includes a number of collections donated by various benefactors over the Museum's history; they include the Samuel H. Kress Collection, C. Leonard Pfeiffer Collection, Edward J. Gallagher Jr. Memorial Collection (and Bequest, which has made possible the further expansion of UAMA's permanent collection), and the most recent Robert McCall Collection.

We always enjoy our time in Heidelberg, a lovely town in southwest Germany, but it never seems to get any closer. In the old days when we flew from Hong Kong it was a long ways. Now, in Germany, the drive continues to surprise us; typically four hours without traffic. Maybe it's not the length of the drive but the time in the car with everyone. Thank goodness for podcasts! But once there, we visit Opa and visit the places we know and love; the playgrounds and the zoo! Our kids have not outgrown the usual haunts (except maybe the library, where twenty books in English used to take a whole afternoon) but they are close to outgrowing them. We hit them all again on a recent trip, standing back, remembering and taking lots of pictures.
Heidelberg, hit hard during 17th century wars and rebuilt in the 18th century with a baroque style Old Town, is a wonderful place to wander. The main street through the old town is completely pedestrian and winds through many old buildings with plagues (which the kids can sort of read in German). We passed an old building that was a stable, a bar, and army headquarters, all within a couple hundred years. We walked past the hotel with Chris and Kelli stayed when meeting us years ago. The stand where Adam insisted on buying a wooden sword. The good gelato shop. The bad gelato shop. The old English bookstore is gone but we found a great craft supply store, a ceramics studio and a frozen yogurt shop. Sadly, our fun bike rental shop is no longer.
Without bikes, we wandered over the Old Bridge and up the north side of the Neckar River, walking along the old Philosopher's Walk. A steep path up leads to a walk on the other side of the river with great views of the Old Town and the castle. Phil used the time to wax philosophical with the kids and they loved it but that all promptly turned off when we hit our old playground. The one with the wacky swings, part see-saw, part rope swing. The kids played, climbed trees and splashed through the big waterworks structure they have. A lovely last sunny day before the time change and official winter.
For many years, Heidelberg was the headquarters for US military forces in Europe with Campbell Barracks and Mark Twain Village. All that has been closing in the last few years. The elementary school closed after the 2011-2012 school year. The high school with its mascot drawn on the outside of the gym is empty. The military is mostly moved to nearby Wiesbaden. We drove past empty barracks, deserted playgrounds in route to visit friends from Munich who have moved to Heidelberg. It all seemed unspeakably sad. When at the friends, particularly a girl who is friends with Adam, he played tag with this girl, running hot and sweaty and our girls teased him mercilessly. Despite that brief nostalgic shift, all has reverted to usual; running, teasing, laughing, crying. And all continued in that vein on the next long car ride of our journey!

I was only in Kyoto for a couple of hours and I wish I could stay there longer and explore. There is so much to see in the city, so I definitely recommend spending at least one night there, so you can see all sides of the city.
First, we wanted to see the Imperial Palace, but what we didn't know was that you have to go on guided tours. And more importantly, that there are only two guided tours of the main palace a day, at 10am and 2pm. We got there at 10:15, so unfortunately, we didn't have time to go for a tour. We did, however, go on a tour of the Sento Palace gardens.
TIP: in the summer and in the winter you have to reserve tickets for the tours!
TIP 2: bring your passport everywhere, as they want to see an ID when you go on the tour
The Sento Palace was amazing to see. I was there in early spring, so the trees were barely budding and only two trees were actually blooming. But I could already tell that the gardens will be magical when everything is in full bloom. The tour guide, I'm sure, was amazing, but I didn't understand what he was saying, since everything was in Japanese. I also gave up a little on the audio guide, because the monotone voice bored me a little. It was very informative, but it was hard to listen to that, when the stories looked so much more interesting when spoken. So, instead of listening I took lots and lots of pictures, from all angles! It was nice and sunny, which brightened all the colors and made me fall in love with serenity of the place. I imagined how amazing it would be if I could just bring my book and read by the lake.
After the tour we just drove a little further into the center, parked by the Kamo river and walked around for a little bit. We got lucky and saw a couple of Geishas walking around and even one that just became a Geisha, ceremoniously completing her training. When we saw her, she was surrounded by photographers. So naturally, we joined them and took lots of pictures of her too 🙂
We continued walking through the little streets of Kyoto, slowly looking for a place to eat. Finally we found this Yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) place, called Ryū an, that was absolutely amazing. Each table was separated by sliding walls, which made the place really intimate. When we told the waiters that I was allergic to gluten, they were very careful to check that all the food they served me was gluten-free. The food was so good, so I definitely recommend!
Kyoto was so much fun! Definitely wish I could spend more time there and really explore the city. There are a lot of temples and shrines that I didn't get to see, so hopefully next time!

This Didn't Suck is the bi-weekly recommendation/bit of praise. This week, for the first ever installment, I figured I'd talk about when I bought that basic of basics: hiking boots - and how that did not suck.
This is a recommendation of Cotswold in Leeds, of my hiking footwear (Scarpa ZG65)... and an excuse for me to reminisce about how I got my beloved boots.
This is a recommendation of Cotswold in Leeds, of my hiking footwear (Scarpa ZG65)... and an excuse for me to reminisce about how I got my beloved boots.
My boots are really wonderful. I love them. I love them a bit too much, actually - apparently I once told the Yeti that if I could, I would marry my boots and keep him as my mistress. Whom I would pay in hikes. In the boots.I try not to drink as much cider these days.
Anyway, when I announced I was buying my own pair of boots this March, I sought out advice from the font of all hiking knowledge: aka. the guy who'd dragged me up Kinder Scout 8 months previously. He gave me advice which included words like Gore-Tex and Vibram and, above all else, I was instructed to "go somewhere good. Go to Cotswold."
I live near Sheffield, which is hardly any real distance away from the gorgeous Peak District, so you'd think there'd be a branch there. Alas, according the branch-finder, my closest Cotswold is in Bakewell. Now as that's a bugger to get to without a car (and I had no car, and - at the time - no Yeti), so I decided the next time I was in Leeds I'd pop into that branch instead.
And so, when I was in the city for work later that month, I wandered over
(after I'd finished spending over an hour getting lost trying to find it). And by gods they looked after me. Which is especially good as I probably wasn't the easiest customer: I was (and am) enough of a novice to need a great deal of things explained and recommended to me, but also I was sufficiently educated to have a rough idea of what I needed (so I was quite fussy as well). But after an hour of pulling faces, umming and ahhing, and walking up and down those ace ramps, I had my beloved Scarpas.
The staff there were brilliant: they knew their stuff, they listened to what I said, and they were unbelievably patient with me. If you need new boots, head over to your nearest Cotswold: if it's anything like the Leeds branch, you won't be disappointed. Plus, y'know, student discount.
As for the boots themselves: Oh I love them so. The ankle support is brilliant: this is especially handy as (1) I injured my ankle quite badly at work in April and it's still fragile even now, and (2) when on hills, it seems my feet don't agree with the idea of walking like a normal human and so attempt to contort just as I put my weight down. In short: if it weren't for these boots, I'm not sure I'd have feet anymore. The grip is brilliant, and the fact they're waterproof means I can stop being such a girl when it comes to puddles.
For the hikes of 2012, I'd worn terrible zip-up boots for the jaunt up Kinder Scout (though I looked fabulous...), and the rest of the time I borrowed my then-boyfriend's mum's hiking boots. That might have been an error in retrospect: she took a size six, and when I was measured for my Scarpas, it turned out I was meant to be wearing a 7... Other than that, my only hike of 2013 up to that point (as the fella was now out of the picture) involved me knackering my Converse. So the boots were a real step up for me (harhar).
I texted the hiking guru on the train back to South Yorkshire to let him know which boots I'd bought. He replied: "they're about as good an all-rounder as you'll get". Now he knows his stuff, and so do the staff in the shop - all I know is that they're comfy as hell, make me feel a lot more confident in my stride and scrambles, and that I can't help but wonder what I ever did without them.

Hey guys! I'm sure you've been hearing about those big Hard Candy nail polish displays at some Walmart stores. Only some Walmart stores have these displays and the one closest to my house didn't, but my awesome cousin picked this up for me at hers (thanks Michelle!)
This color is a true turquoise blue with tons of teeny tiny black and silver (they look white because they're in a pigmented base) hex glitters. When I first opened the bottle I really thought this was going to be a nightmare to apply, much to my surprise the formula was good! I only had to use two coats for complete opacity, this went on smooth and I only needed one coat of top coat!

Wood Brothers Racing: A Storied History of Success at the Monster Mile
Harrisburg, NC (September 17, 2008)- Wood Brothers Racing has been competing at Dover International Speedway since 1972 when the track promoter at the time, Melvin Joseph, invited them to try out the 500-mile event. The team decided to give it a shot, and with their first run at the Monster Mile with driver David Pearson, won the "Delaware 500" after leading 350 laps in the 500-lap race in the No. 21 Purolator Mercury.
David Pearson and the Wood Brothers would go on to sweep both races in 1973, later won in the spring of 1975, and then again in 1978. With these successful results, the team has been traveling to the "The First State" to compete in both annual NASCAR events at Dover ever since.
Leonard Wood was David Pearson's chief mechanic and recalls the race in May 1976 when they finished second to Benny Parsons. "The day was humid and extremely hot. Several drivers were experiencing heat exhaustion and needed to be replaced with a relief driver," Wood said. "I remember we were on a five or six win stretch when Bobby Allison made the comment that Allison must have been 'lucking him.'"
David wasn't keen on the idea that luck had anything to do with his success. With his infamous high self-confidence, he believed that with as many wins as he had that year, he must have been doing something right and was determined to show that he could outrun the best of them at Dover. Wood spoke of the race with ardent reminiscence, "In 1976, Donnie Allison sat on the pole and David ran him into the ground! Donnie got out and Bobby [Allison] got in the race car, then Pearson ran him into the ground and finished second. After the race, they were all stretched out in the shower room and David walked in as proud as can be and said, 'What's the matter with you sissies?'"
Even though he finished second, he felt that he made his point after placing in front of Allison who finished fourth.
After another win with Pearson in 1978, the team came back to win two more races with driver Neil Bonnett in May 1979 and in September 1981. In May 1981, Bonnett led 404 laps of the 500-lap event. He was four laps ahead of the field with Cale Yarborough two laps behind him when the engine blew on lap 455, forcing him to the garage. As the team packed up the No. 21 on the transporter, the scoreboard still showed Bonnett in the lead. He would eventually finish 13th. Wood Brothers Racing and Neil Bonnett would return to Dover for the September 1981 race and win.
The most vivid recollection of Dover International Speedway that Wood has is the high speeds and the ability to watch cars as they came out of the corner. He recounts his experience, "Dover is a fast one-mile track. I would stand down in the corner and watch the car come in the corner between one and two. Pearson would come down off of that high banking and would drive down to the bottom. I would take notice how the car reacted.
At this particular track, I could watch and see exactly what the car was doing. He [Pearson] would get on the throttle in the middle of the corner and I could hear it pulling in and I could watch if it pushed coming off. I do remember that, in fact, that's the only track a mile or over that I could do that. It was very helpful with setting the car up." To this day Leonard enjoys watching the cars come out of the corner at high speeds from the overpass on the walkover bridge in turn two.
Wood Brothers Racing has an extensive portfolio of drivers who have raced at the Monster Mile including Buddy Baker and Kyle Petty in the '80's, and Morgan Shepherd, Michael Waltrip and Elliott Sadler in the '90's. In the new millennium there was Ricky Rudd and Ken Schrader, and today, currently part-time is Bill Elliott along with new generation drivers Jon Wood and Marcos Ambrose.
With only four starts at the speedway under his belt in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and the Nationwide Series, Ambrose's highest finish was sixth in 2007. Marcos will make his first Sprint Cup Series attempt at the track in the no. 21 Little Debbie Ford Fusion for the Camping World RV 400 and is looking forward to joining the long list of drivers in the history of Wood Brothers Racing. "It's such an honor to be able to race for the Wood Brothers and being a part of their long history," said Ambrose. "I'm excited about being in the No. 21 car and just hope that I can contribute in moving their race program in the right direction."
Ambrose affirms that Dover is one of the most challenging tracks that NASCAR competes on as its high speeds makes it one "monster" to conquer. "Dover is one of the most aggressive race tracks on the circuit,"Ambrose said. "Being outside of the top-35 we will focus on qualifying, but once we get the car in the show, then we can switch gears and work on racing. This is a track where I tend to focus my energy on racing the track, and then worry about competition second. You can carry a lot of speed into the corners. It's very challenging but I'm looking forward to it."
Wood Brothers Racing has a long history of racing since 1950 and has experienced both the highs and lows that the sport can bring, yet they look toward the future and what a new generation of drivers will add to their repertoire.

- Hot water
- Galvanometer
Click on pictures to enlarge.
Two versions are available. A brass container coated on half of one surface with a matte black paint and highly polished on the other. Hot water is placed inside the cube and each surface presented in turn, at the same distance to a thermopile. Alternatively, PASCO'S Apparatus consists of a cube internally heated by a temperature controlled light globe with black, white, shiny and matte surfaces. Leslies cube may be placed on a turntable so that alternate faces emit radiation to a sensor. The experiment shows that the radiant heat is greater from the black surface.

I started this blog in a bout of frustration over the shallowness of fitness culture. The focus on getting thin and the reluctance to speak about the culture of fitness in and of itself. I wanted to start collecting things and places where this is actually discussed in one form or another.
The number one "guru" on getting rid of gurus and fad diets is of course, Go Kaleo. If you're looking for a place where you're encouraged to eat enough food to support your activity, feel good about yourself, listening to your body and letting go of fear of macronutrients (whether they be carbs, fat or even just pure sugar) this is the place. She's also on facebook, and has started a facebook group called Eating The Food for those who are taking their first trembling steps out of diet-land.
Not updated often but always awesome, Radical Hateloss.
It needed a title, and I knew that "radical" had to be part of it, since what I was doing felt so different. The changes in me had started to cause weight loss, but that wasn't what the journey was about anymore. This time it was about learning to accept and love myself. So the term Radical Hateloss was born.
Batty, a friend of like mind has an awesome blog where she talks about this stuff as well. I can't say enough awesome things about her. She is awesomely awesome.
Of course, if you really want to get into a conversation about body image, culture and oppression you have to leave the fitosphere behind and start looking into other areas where this is brought up as a matter of course. (I sense a Venn Diagram coming up). Everyone ought to read the feminist blog Shakesville, but particularly everything in the tag Today in FA. Why? Because if we want to talk about fitness and health in a way that is about how you feel and not how well you measure up to some arbitrary look we have to start deconstructing and be critical of our hate of fat and of fat people.
On a related note, A Black Girl's Guide to Fat Loss. I can't remember why I stopped reading her blog (I think it got cut when I couldn't keep up with my RSS feed any longer), but I do remember reading a lot of interesting posts relating specifically to culture, poverty and education which hinders people (and specifically in North America, African Americans) from gaining access to healthy food, safe spaces and education on living a healthy lifestyle. I'm throwing it out there.
Shamefully, I haven't read much about HAES – Health At Every Size, but I'm confident that this is the direction the conversation has to go in.
There are a number of very real direct "costs" to individuals, communities, and societies resulting from the current "war on obesity." The direct consequences of this "war" include disordered eating practices, weight cycling, body dissatisfaction, bullying, weight stigma, bariatric surgery, insurance exclusions, and a general reinforcement of fat-phobic, weight-centric health ideas that don't really serve to improve anyone's health or wellbeing, regardless of their weight or size. These consequences are costly indeed in both economic and human terms, and collectively have a profound impact on health.
And that's it, so far. This is less a link spam and more the start of collecting bits and pieces of a conversation I want to be part of and that I'm sure is happening out there.

Five Minute Friday - Risk - Life in Greece
People think that I take a risk living my life the way I do. It's no big deal, I am a qualified English Language teacher and enjoy teaching in different cultures. I have had the pleasure of being about to teach in countries as diverse as Sri Lanka, Egypt and currently, Greece.
People turn their noses up when they hear I live in Greece, especially when they hear Athens.
"Isn't there a RISK living there?"
Well, isn't it a risk stepping outside your front door every day, wherever you are in the world? It's not a dangerous country - the people here are friendly, helpful and beyond all that, HUMANE.
Yes, it can be risky - just like in your own countries. But where would we be in life if we didn't take risks? I took a risk, coming to a strange country to work - and I love it. It's taught me humanity, broadened my mind and tonight, I will even be supporting my adopted country in the EURO 2012 football (Greece vs Germany).
So go on people - take a risk in life. Don't let fear hold you back. You could learn something about yourself in the process.

People actually think Greece is risky? This time last year a woman who was out shopping here had her head cut off by a lunatic, in the middle of the day, in broad daylight. Living itself is risky but it's got to be done!

Thanks Joslin & Lizy.
WOW! Lizy, I did NOT see that one coming! That is MAD. Yes, life is one big risk. Plus it's short - we have to make the best of it.

A fillip is something that boosts, promotes, or energizes. Giving away one free candy bar with every dozen purchased might give a fillip to your candy-selling business.
When economies or markets get a fillip, they move or grow in a positive direction, and if your confidence gets a fillip after you get a good grade, it's a boost to your morale. An older, now obsolete meaning of fillip was "a flick of the finger," sort of a soft snap, and as a verb, "to flip something with the fingers" or "to snap."

When TA is so poor, I often browse through the Eurasian frequencies that I normally neglect.
Is anybody able to confirm this is Iran on 702khz. The 3 tones at 19 seconds should give it away to anybody familiar with them.
It seems regular, I have it on several days recordings. I just can't recall hearing the tones before and can't here Iran mentioned. although it doesn't help that local noise sources are playing up at the moment.
Iran ? - 702 khz

Re: Iran ? - 702 khz
I've often thought about DXing Iranian stations, but haven't and so I know virtually zero about their announcements, however, if I remember correctly, those are the same tones I have heard from Iran. I just can't remember which station it was, 1179 Radio Iran or 1188 Radio Payam.

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, administrators can access a few additional functions. Bureaucrats have even more available functions.
Administrator abilities Edit
These additional functions include:
- Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
- Locking a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
- Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
- Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
Bureaucrat abilities Edit
A bureaucrat has the power to make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki.
Staff Edit
Wikia staff members have full access to all Wikia.
Who are this wiki's administrators? Edit
The "founder" of a wiki, the person who first requested it, is given administrator access automatically. Founders are also given bureaucrat access so they can make any other user on their wiki an administrator or bureaucrat. For a complete list of users with administrator access, see Special:Listadmins.
Founder, Bureaucrat
What can administrators not do? Edit
Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.
How do you become an administrator? Edit
While we currently are not looking for new admins, those who become promoted are usually users who have proven themselves to be productive editors. The editor must abide by the rules, be fair and friendly and have a common concept of what the administrators duties are. Users who have been admins or bureaucrats on other Wiki's always helps also.

Nearly all of our 4th year clinical year courses are graded as HPMF (Honors, Pass, Marginal, Fail) except for the extramurals/special topics courses. In order to align the grading scale and to allow faculty greater flexibility in addressing poor (or outstanding) performances without resulting in a fail (and subsequent dismissal from DVM program), the coordinator approved changing the grading basis for this course from S/U to HPMF.
Also expanded title since more characters now available for abbreviated title.

Found a great publication here http://www.kalkflash.be/Leaflet_Stabilization.pdf from Fediex about the uses of Lime for Soil Improvement and Soil Stabilisation. The publication goes through the entire process from start to finish including methods, soil types and binder additions, the uses and benefits of the techniques along with typical cost savings.

Soil Stabilization
Found a good web-site here http://www.arra.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=36:soil-stabilization&catid=20:industry-segments&Itemid=81# from ARRA (Asphalt Recycling & Reclaiming Association). ARRA was formed in 1976 to "promote the recycling of existing roadway materials through various construction methodologies". Within the web-site is a section dedicated to Soil Stabilisation and the benefits associated with it.
What is Soil Stabilisation
Full details of what Soil Stabilisation is can be found on the T R Stabilisation web-site here http://www.trstabilisation.co.uk/Soil-Stabilisation.html. The pad shows what Soil Stabilisation is and how it works, along with useful diagrams outlining the different stages and the process.

Joseph limped toward Sophie and sank to his knees in front of her. He swiped at her tears with his thumbs. His palms lingered against her cheeks. Her skin was as cold as fresh snow in winter. A strong urge to kiss her again seared his insides. Joseph refused to contemplate his reaction to her. He had to stop this nonsense thinking. She was as soft and delicate as an alpine flower, and not suited for a life in his mountains. After she'd get a taste of winter in the Tetons, she would hightail it back to Boston as soon as the passes cleared next spring. He'd told himself repeatedly that he wouldn't care for another woman who would only trample all over his heart when she returned to her former existence.
"Princess, you need to get out of these wet clothes," he said slowly, his eyes on her. What sort of a reaction would his comment receive? "You'll freeze to death otherwise." He held out his dry shirt. "You can put this on while your things dry out."

When I came across this pin by my sister I knew I had to make it. As a lover of green apples and Snickers, the fact that I had never before combined them baffled me. So, following directions from DessertedPlanet, I whipped this tasty treat up. If you are looking for a new, quick and not too costly dessert idea give this one a whirl. Keep in mind that it yields a lot, so it is best served with a crowd... or not.
Apple Snickers trifle
Serves 25
- 2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 (16 ounce) tub of Cool Whip
- 6 cups Granny Smith apples, chopped (approximately 6 apples)
- 10 full-size Snickers, chopped
- Caramel sauce
- Add the cream cheese to your mixer and beat until smooth.
- Slowly stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip.
- Reserve about a cup of apples and 1/2 cup of the Snickers to the side for garnish.
- Mix in the remaining apples and 1-1/2 cups of the Snickers.
- Add a third of the mixture to the bottom of your trifle dish.
- Sprinkle with half of the remaining chopped Snickers.
- Spoon another third of the mixture on top, and again top with half of the Snickers.
- Add the remaining mixture to the dish.
- Sprinkle the apples and Snickers over top and drizzle with caramel sauce.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
- This makes a lot! You can half the recipe and make it in a smaller dish. Presentation may not be the same, but it will taste just as delicious!
- Make and serve the same day. Even with refrigeration the Cool Whip causes it to become runny the next day. Again, just as delicious, but presentation isn't nearly as nice.

From his upbringing in suburban Philadelphia to today, Dave's life has been characterized by a love of letters. The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis started him on his reading journey, which continued with writers ranging from Michael Moorcock to H.P. Lovecraft, Philip Jose Farmer to Hermann Hesse, Gary Jennings to Graham Masterton, and beyond. He earned a baccalaureate at Temple University by the skin of his teeth, and not long after graduating he headed for points west, fetching up at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
It was in Colorado that he found work at the legendary publishing company Paladin Press, described as "The most dangerous press in America." There, he spent over a decade working closely with the world's top knife fighting instructors, combat shooting teachers, survival experts, and martial artists. In 2010, he condensed the skills he had learned firsthand into his book The Ultimate Guide to Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse. Lavishly illustrated and originally written under the pseudonym F. Kim O'Neill, it's a masterclass in surviving not just a zombie apocalypse, but any doomsday scenario. Scott Kenemore, author of Zombie, Ohio and Zombie, Illinois said it was "One of the most capable and engaging how-to zombie survival books I've encountered."
Inspired by The Exorcist and The Omen, Dave published his first novel, The Blessed Man and the Witch in 2014. The first in a trilogy about a Biblical apocalypse, it's a tale of supernatural horror that goes old school, focusing on themes of Good vs. Evil, angelic phenomena, demonic possession, and western occultism. The sequel, The Nephilim and the False Prophet, continues the story of the world's last days, where ordinary people scramble to keep Hell's terrible plans from coming to fruition.
His short fiction includes a Lovecraftian novella for young adults titled Dreadedin Chronicles: The Nameless City. Written in cooperation with the Dunedin Public Library of Dunedin, Florida, it features local teen volunteers as supporting characters. The story involves cannibal zombies, a terrible sleeping sickness, and an ancient evil hundreds of millions of years old. Continuing the Lovecraft theme, Dave also published the Kindle Single Beneath the Ziggurat, which takes the reader on a disturbing journey through pre-Columbian Mexico, where dread lurks behind every step of rainforest and the old gods still hold terrible sway. He's also a contributing author in the short story anthology Appalling Stories: 13 Tales of Social Injustice, a collection of stories that take on PC anti-culture, focusing on themes and characters you're just not supposed to read about anymore.
Dave, his wife, and their son live on the west coast of Florida, swatting alligators and wrestling mosquitoes. He is hard at work on the third and last book in his Armageddon series, to be titled The Holy Warrior and the Last Angel.

Becoming a parent requires extreme sacrifice—at least for a
while. Overnight, my free time, my sleep and my life as I knew it before kids
all suffered.
As I was getting a crash course in putting my own needs aside,
my kid was getting all kinds of cool stuff, rubbing salt in the wound of my
sacrifice. Here are five things my son had that I coveted:
1. Footy pajamas
Oh, adorable one-piece pajamas with fuzzy
feet, how I wish you were mine. Footy pajamas are like if your favorite pajamas
hooked up with your coziest slippers and had a fabric baby.
RELATED: The 5 Stages of Grief When Vacation With Young Children
2. Hats with baby animal ears
Similar to the precious footy
pajamas, I thought all the little hoods on my son's outfits were disturbingly
cute. Is that an infant or a ridiculously cute baby bear? While I realized I would
look deranged donning a hat with baby raccoon ears, a girl can still
2. Cradle swing
More tired than I'd thought possible, I
used to gaze at my son dozing in his cradle swing. Equipped to swing either
forward to backward, or in a soothing side-to-side motion, this swing was soft
as a pillow and crafted to look like an impossibly cute baby lamb. I longed to
put on an adult-sized pair of footy pajamas and perhaps a pair of adult diapers
and drift off to sleep in the lamb's warm embrace.
3. Strollers
I loved taking walks with my toddler son in
his stroller. The only thing better than moseying around with him? To have
someone push me around cheerful neighborhoods while I sipped on the finest of
white grape juice and shoved handfuls of Goldfish into my mouth. It was a sad
epiphany when I realized that yes, somebody might push me around again someday,
but it'd be in a wheelchair. Hopefully, wheelchairs will have built-in snack
and drink holders by then.
4. Baby carriers
In his early months, my son spent much of
his days strapped to my chest in an Ergo carrier. With the lull of my heartbeat
and the gentle rocking as I ran up and
down the stairs to do laundry, he often drifted off to sleep. It struck me how
cozy he must be and how tired I was and how soothing it would feel if I could
find a giant who would strap me to his chest and carry me around while I
RELATED: This Parenting Philosophy Is Saving My Kids' Childhoods
5. Baby sleep hammock
In our quest to help our colicky son
sleep, one of the things we purchased was a baby sleep hammock. The tiny
hammock bed moved gently with my son's motions, which theoretically would help
him sleep better. While it didn't fix his sleep issues, I fantasized about
having an adult-sized version that I could slumber in. Alone. On a tropical
Looking back, I think that all the adulting suddenly
required of me as a new parent made me long for a simpler time—or at least a
time when I could nap with wild abandon or sleep through the night without
anyone screeching in my ear for milk.
