If you're looking for an Arches map, you've come to the right place; currently I've collected 15 free Arches National Park maps to view and download. (PDF files and external links will open in a new window.) Here you'll find some trail maps and a map of surrounding campgrounds, to go along with the official park brochure and topographic maps. You can also browse the best-selling Arches maps and guidebooks on Amazon.
If you want trip-planning tips, view my opinionated Arches Maps and Guide page to read my detailed personal advice about how to best use each map to plan your visit to the park.
Arches map from the park brochures
This is the new Arches map, most recently updated in summer 2015. It's similar to the one below but more colorful (and larger file size). Click the image to view a full size JPG (1.6 mb) or download the PDF (10.4 mb).
This is the main Arches National Park map, showing roads, hiking trails, campgrounds, and various named arches. Click the image to view a full size JPG (1.2 mb) or download the PDF (2.6 mb).
This is a simple map of Arches National Park (200 kb), showing roads, hiking trails, overlooks, and various named arches just like the maps above, but in an easier-to-print format (without relief shading).
Since Arches is full of a few major visitor areas separated by some expanses of slightly less interest, I've cropped down the full park map into four individual maps below. This way instead of printing/saving the entire national park map, you can download just the specific areas of the park you plan to visit. They're arranged here in order from south to north as you encounter them on your way into the park.
This Park Avenue map (90 kb) shows the 1-mile Park Avenue trail as it walks along Wall Street, Courthouse Towers, and other beautiful rock formations. Hike it one way and get picked up on the other end!
Here's a Windows map (70 kb) which shows several arches accessible by short hikes (and can also be viewed from the road) including Turret Arch, Double Arch, and the North and South Windows.
The Delicate Arch map (100 kb) shows the short hikes to the Delicate Arch viewpoints as well as the more strenuous 1.5-mile trail that leads to its base. Also here is the Fiery Furnace Overlook.
This Devils Garden map (120 kb) includes the entire loop hike that passes Landscape Arch, Navajo Arch, and Double O Arch. It also shows the arches accessible from the Devils Garden Campground, like Sand Dune Arch.
Arches hiking maps
If you're looking for an Arches trail map that covers the entire park, you should probably go with the National Geographic Trails Illustrated map from Amazon. Although there's not necessarily a ton of backcountry hiking options in the park, the wide variety of different day hikes means a comprehensive trail map like this is quite useful. The display of distances between points is a particularly nice touch.
This is the Devils Garden Trail hiking map (100 kb), showing the main trail to Landscape Arch, Partition Arch, and other rock formations. Hike it one way to Double O Arch or do the whole loop if it's not too hot.
Here's a 2017 Arches backpacking map (250 kb), which supercedes the one below for the time being. 2017 is full of road construction, meaning there's no overnight parking in Arches.
This old Arches backpacking map (75 kb) shows legal camping zones in Arches before 2017. For 2017's road construction, the regulations have changed, and it's unknown whether these regs will resume afterward.
Arches lodging map
If you're visiting Arches, you'll definitely be staying in Moab — the outdoors Mecca just outside the park. To the right you can open a Hotels.com interactive lodging map for Moab and can filter based on ratings or price. Or, you might instead want to browse Expedia reviews of the best-rated Moab lodging (or Hotels.com) to compare photos and reviews. Or read TripAdvisor lodging reviews to see more options.
Arches and Moab camping map
This map shows campgrounds nearby Arches National Park (500 kb). This is particularly helpful when the Devils Garden Campground is full, which is pretty much all the time during spring and fall.
Arches topographic maps
Here's a Devil's Garden topographic map, showing the Devils Garden trail and arches in the general area. Click the image to view a full size JPG (2.1 mb) or download the PDF (10.0 mb).
The Windows topo map shows the Windows section of Arches, along with parts of Wall Street and the Fiery Furnace. Click the image to view a full size JPG (2.5 mb) or download the PDF (12.1 mb).
Arches land cover map
This Arches National Park vegetation map (800 kb) shows the different types of plant communities that grow in Arches – juniper woodlands, desert scrub, shrublands, etc. Also, where there's nothing but bare rock.

Hi there, I was trying to modify a script I found online, from http://www.vipbg.vcu.edu/~vipbg/OpenMx/, called "InteractionGxE_rGE-hm2.R:. I keep getting the message "Error: A cycle has been detected in model 'rGE' involving the following elements: 'DZ.min2sumll' and 'DZ.objective'". I haven't seen that error before, I'm having trouble finding my error in the syntax. Any pointers for fixing this?

Valentine's Day Bubbles with Craig Collins
Continuing with our 'Food Is For Lovers' theme, we've asked Master Sommelier, Craig Collins, for his suggested bottles of bubbly to enjoy this weekend. From cava to Champagne and rosé, find the perfect one for your palate.
Scarpetta "Timido" Brut Rose
Pink is the perfect color for Valentines! This wine from Northern Italy is made by Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey. It is a beautiful blend of Franconia and Pinot Noir grapes that shows creamed strawberry, raspberry and red floral notes.
Marques de Gelida Cava
Cava has always been one of my go to bottles of bubbles and this is one of the best while still offering great value. This wine is dry with a striking stone minerality and an intense lemon citrus note that is balanced by a soft green herb character. Try this Cava with Machego cheese!
NV Bruno Paillard Premiere Cuvee Brut
Champagne, France
This champagne is the real deal! A delicate nose of green apples and tangerines opens into a layered palate with notes of cherry and plum. The fruit is complimented by a saline and chalk and the long finish is punctuated with a candy flower note. This wine is best enjoyed with your Valentine and nothing else.
NV Marc Erhart 1er Cru Mareuil-sur-Ay Brut Rose
Champagne, France
Rosé champagne is beautiful in the glass and even better on the palate. This champagne not only has an amazing combination of red and black fruit but it expresses the land that it comes from beautifully with a wet rock and crushed stone quality. Enjoy a glass of this and a chocolate covered strawberry, you can thank me later…
Saracco Moscato d'Asti
A kiss of sweetness and silky soft bubbles make this wine so easy to drink that you should get 2 bottles. Buy some of your favorite fruit while you are at it (I prefer raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries), place them in a mixing bowl and cover with sugar and 1 cup of this wine. Let is sit for a few hours and enjoy this easy dessert with a glass of Moscato, perfect!

Simply Jeff!
If you've ever had the chance to attend a slamming party in Orange County, California, there's a good chance your hosts for the evening were from Dr. Freecloud's Mixing Lab. More specifically, one Simply Jeff and his partner and close friend, Ron D Core. Not that Los Angeles will ever have a problem with getting it's name on the map, but these two busy guys, Ron's wife Helen, and their associates at Freecloud's would play a big role in getting it there. Together, they run their labels- Orbit Transmissions and Atomic Records. With the recent release(s) by City of Angels of Simply Jeff material- a 12" single (My Planet/ Godzilla Funk) and a mixed CD (Funkdafried), an even wider audience will get to experience a little of the exuded energy in the privacy of their own home and, of course, on dancefloors worldwide.
Jeff's last name is Adachi, which is of Japanese decent. He is a fourth generation Japanese American- which means even his grandfather was born here in the good ol' USA, so he's about as American as you can get. His background in music comes in just as deep, with both his parents avid music fans (though definitely of different genres). His mother, Kumi, was a dance hall DJ in the 50's and 60's. "My mom threw parties in San Francisco and she would always be the one with the vinyl. Back then they didn't use mixers the way that we use them, instead they would just cut and switch off of one line. She would have to be super quick to put on the next record. Sometimes she would have to work with only one turntable, so she would cut the record and the crowd would clap and while they were clapping she would have to throw one on real quick. Back then though, they were dancing to the likes of Chubby Checker. Because my mom was a DJ, she understands my lifestyle now. She still supports me and helps me when I need it, and the same with my father- they're divorced, but they have been a big influence in my life." His father, an avid record collector, would take Jeff to Tower to buy records when the other kids were out mobbing their parents for toys. When Jeff decided to make a career of music, his grandparents paid his way through school, and he isn't one to forget the support his family has given him- Funkdafried is dedicated to his grandfather, who recently passed away, "He helped me out so much and was there with me the whole time. He was there to see me get the store and move up as a DJ."
Jeff started DJing when he was in high school as a breakdance DJ, and tells the history from the west coast perspective: "Really it was the Electro days of the mid 80's. It was the early stages of Hip-Hop, but before that it wasn't even called Hip-Hop, it was called Techno. Even back then with people like Dr. Dre (with the World Class Wrecking crew), and NWA, they were all calling it techno. If you would listen to their first album, it's techno mixed with rap, and then when the Sugar Hill Gang exploded it was all over. Those producers weren't even producing that style of music anymore because they were switching over to rap and Hip-Hop, so after that era those producers were making it as a street thing. It was almost like how it is in the underground- tracks that you don't normally find on a commercial market but if you would go to a mom and pops store you could find them. That's when people got into making bootlegs or getting dubplates off people."
Like all music enthusiasts, Jeff's tastes are always expanding into other styles. When asked what some of his more valued platters are, an odd array including Earth, Wind and Fire, Lakeside, Cameo, and the Fat Boys is named… "especially the Fat Boys" he drops in. Soon, Jeff got into the Industrial/digital dance music side of DJing. He played stuff like Meat Beat Manifesto and Consolidated, Neon Judgement, Gary Numan… "I figured it was basically the next progression at the time for me." This was all in the later years of his high school life. "After that, when Industrial/dance got even more popular- like Depeche Mode and Erasure, I even got into that kind of stuff." Jeff went on to work at KROQ 106.7 FM- the first Alternative radio station in Los Angeles. The KROQ format shaped how MTV came to be because many people that worked for them now work at MTV. Alternative was the 'in' thing back in the late 80's and KROQ was the first station to play it 24/7 in the US. Jeff had an internship working at KROQ, so he moved from Sacramento to Los Angeles. Growing up in Sacramento had it's advantages as well, though, "San Francisco is only an hour and a half drive from Sacramento so we would go up there and party. It was no problem for us to go there all of the time, and that's how I got into all of the breakdance stuff. We looked up to people like Q-bert back then. They were the people that pretty much paved the way for us up north as far as tricks and that style of DJing goes because back then there really wasn't a rave scene- it was a street underground party, but it had the same style as a rave. It was before the English brought over the whole concept that we know as rave." Jeff got as far out of Sacramento as he could playing street parties, for breakdancers, and in clubs, but he wanted something more out of life. Going to school for music and sound engineering was his next step- but there were no schools in San Francisco that suited his exact needs. "All my friends said 'you've got to move to LA', so in 1987 that's what I did." At 21, Jeff attended the University of Sound Arts, which, ironically, was right across the street from the building that housed the future City of Angels label that he records for now. In school, he learned everything about sound engineering. "It was the pre-stages of MIDI, when MIDI was just beginning, so it was kind of exciting at the time." He finished his schooling and got his certificate as well as picking up a little education on filming. He actually participated in a film that got nominated for an Emmy Award- 'Sensinina, What have we Done?' "It was a short film based in South Africa- about apartheid." Jeff went on to take extension courses at UCLA and met many people there who he'd bump into in the future. One person he met was one of the early minds behind Moonshine. "I had a marketing class with this guy and we started talking about music and he told me, 'I've got a label called Moonshine starting up and was wondering if you want to be one of the first artists on the label?'- I said, 'OK- that's cool', because at the time I was producing remixes and things for KROQ. They (the station) knew I knew how to do production- so they put me to work doing mega-mixes for Depeche Mode and stuff like that." Jeff was out of the party scene for almost a year- mainly because when he moved to LA he didn't know a single soul and spent his time just going to school and working in the studio or workshop. "I had no social life whatsoever, so when I got the internship at KROQ I got to meet a lot of people and started going out. That was when the rave scene in LA was exploding for the first time. It started in the mid and even early 80's, but it didn't really get big." What Jeff witnessed at these parties blew him away.
The record that Jeff and Brian put out as X-Calibur was breakbeat, or pre-jungle- basically the same speed as jungle. Breakbeat back then was around 140-145 BPM. After Jeff did the record with Moonshine he helped them out with their first 140+ BPM compilation. Then Jeff and DJ Dan did their first project together called The Core. "Nobody would have ever known it was us because all it said was, 'The Core, Written by The Core' on the label."
Other than working with Brian Scott, Jeff is working with a few other engineers. "The last engineer I worked with was Howard Ulyate- who is just getting interested in this style of music, but he is an awesome engineer. He has fucking cool equipment and shit that I don't have. I'm learning my shit from him all over again because he has all this cool analog equipment- stuff that I could only dream of having, so why not work with somebody and get the experience." In the future Jeff is going to experiment with a lot more people to expose himself to other artists and other producers. "I'm going to do that just so I can get a bigger overview and just learn some more shit. Basically, the more people that you work with, the more you learn. I'm just broadening my horizons working with different artists, people that play different instruments, and even vocalists."
With the busy schedule that Jeff has between running Dr. Freecloud's, DJing, and making records, he still keeps the 'I'm a DJ first' attitude. Jeff has been a DJ a lot longer than he has been producing so that's why he puts his DJing first. But he is also a producer and he doesn't forget it. "I'll always be a DJ just because I've been doing it longer, but I'm a producer as well. I produce with the mentality of a DJ, if that makes any sense… I try to make records with dance appeal because it is all about moving the floor." Later on in his career when he starts producing more and taking breaks from DJing, he might actually call himself a producer, but right now, by name, he is a DJ.
Jeff opened up Dr. Freecloud's Mixing Lab in December of 1994 with Ron D Core. Jeff got to know Ron through a mutual friend at another radio station. After Jeff left KROQ, he worked for MARS FM- the first complete techno station in the US. "You could tune in and hear Messiah at 12 noon!" Jeff jokes. "The same people who own KROQ own MARS FM. What they did at KROQ in the 80's, they wanted to do with MARS FM in the 90's". At KROQ, Swedish Eagle was the guy who played the cutting edge dance cuts. He would have a Midnight shift- "the truck drivers shift" as Jeff calls it. Swedish Eagle left KROQ and started MARS FM with Ken Roberts, but it only stayed on air for about a year and a half. Jeff had a show with Eagle every Saturday called 'MARS FM Top 30 Countdown'- still spinning under his first chosen moniker- 'DJ Spinn'. His friend DJ Robin and himself did the mix show. Robin also managed a club called Post Nuclear and Ron had his weekly called Funny Farm. From working with Robin, Jeff got to know Ron. "I'd met Ron a couple of times before, but I never got to know him until I started working with him at the club doing Funny Farm, and then later on getting jobs together at a valley record store. We both live in the suburbia part of LA in Orange County, so we would carpool to work. We had a lot of ideas and a lot of common interests, so we said, 'Hey, lets do it!!' and so we did. We opened Dr. Freecloud's Mixing Lab." This story still continues, and has had many happy turns. Ron just got married to Helen, who is also really involved with the store. "The whole wedding was actually a real emotional thing, seeing I was the best man."
In 1993 Jeff started the first breakbeat label on the west coast called Orbit Transmissions- just as techno was changing. "Techno was getting faster so either you liked techno or house. That's also when the cliques started", so Jeff was really confused because he really liked house music but had an appreciation for techno, because that is were his basis came from. In the end, going the route that felt best, as any old cliché would go, came out for the best, and Jeff is quite comfortable with where he stands. The music he produces, spins, and enjoys is currently among the healthiest of the electronic genres, and he's in league with those he most respects nowadays- "Tim Simmonen from Bomb the Bass, Cold Cut, and of course the Chemical Brothers, who have opened a lot of doors. They are another style of breakbeat. They are big beat breaks, and I play funky breaks. They have the English sound and I have the U.S. sound. I look up to them because they are the first artists who opened the doors for everybody, for me personally anyway. If it wasn't for them I don't think breakbeat would be as popular as it is today".
When the point is made about how far the Chemical Brothers have come- from underground heroes to household names, Jeff is quick to make a valid point- "There are a lot of people out there that would call someone a sellout if they agree with underground music becoming more commercialized or mainstream. I think it's good in a way because it exposes that many more people to the good music that everyone is missing out on. Commercialism is good to a certain extent, but it always brings with it it's own bad elements – but in the long run if you look at the big picture, it is exposing more people to the music that we all love."

I am so happy I was chosen to receive this lovely item! Buying a notebook sleeve has always been a task on my list of things-to-do but I've witheld since I've been reluctant to pay a fortune for a laptop sleeve. The price of this item is great compared to other notebook sleeves I have browsed. Belkin neoprene sleeves are probably less than half of the cost of other comparable notebook sleeves. This item comes in 4 different stylish colour schemes. I received the sleeve in the black/red colour scheme (which was the one I was hoping for!). The material quality is great - the sleeve is made of soft thick padding and a sturdy metal zipper handle. Another great thing about this sleeve is that it allows you put your laptop in with ease. You can zip around the sleeve in a 90 degree form to fit your laptop in. Many other products have only one-sided zipper opening where you have to squeeze it in, which takes more effort.
The only thing I found disappointing was the size of the sleeve itself - I found the 15.4" sleeve too big for the size of my laptop (I have a 15.4" Dell Laptop). I was still able to fit a couple books and my battery charger along with my laptop in this sleeve. I think this size was more suited for a 17" laptop. Maybe they sent me the wrong size? Not sure. Other than that, I found my notebook sleeve very handy - I finally have something to transport it in - no more using a pashmina to protect my laptop!

text: This is her post from another board " I have never had this happen before so I really don't know what to do. My boyfriend is not computer or internet savvy at all. He wanted to send a Christmas present to his son who lives in another town in GA, about two hours away. I told him that I could do it, so he gave me the money and the address. I ordered something from Sears on line. BF paid extra for expedited shipping so that it would be delivered before Christmas. We ordered it on 12/18, and it was supposed to be delivered on 12/21. Well, 12/21 comes and goes and his son did not get the package. I found the tracking number and it said the item was "in transit" to Deer Park, NY! Don't ask me how that happened. I sent a reply e-mail to UPS and told them that the item was supposed to be delivered to Cartersville, GA, not Deer Park, NY. They sent me an e-mail back saying that there was a "service disruption" and that the package was returned to the shipper. That was on 12/24. I sent Sears an e-mail, because I was peeved that bf paid for expedited shipping for nothing. Sears replied saying that the item was going to be delivered on 12/28. Well, you guessed it, he never received it. I checked the tracking number again today and it said it was delivered to Deer Park, NY, and was left at the "front desk", with someone named Migel. WTH? So now some stranger has bf's son's Christmas present. Ultimately, who is supposed to be held accountable for this mistake? UPS, Sears, or both? I have sent both of them e-mails and have yet to received a response from either of them. I am so peeved right now.

ABAC will partner with literacy organizations, community groups, and primary and secondary schools to provide bookmaking workshops in the community.
Workshops are pre-structured, age-appropriate programs to be held offsite for 3 or more students. Each class is generally about 3 hours and can be scheduled mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Outreach classes are appropriate for school groups (i.e. AISD, private schools, home school groups, college classes) as well as community groups. Fees are determined on a per student basis.
Examples of workshops:
Hand Papermaking
Students will learn about the two thousand year history of papermaking by making their own sheets of paper. After immersing fibers in a vat of water, students will learn to "couch" a sheet with a mould and deckle.
Students will learn a number of basic bookbinding techniques and will complete at least three structures.
Letterpress Printing
Students will learn the basics of setting type by hand, the method of printed communication used for centuries. Together they will set a small poem or quote, proof the text, ink up the tabletop press, and print a small edition.
Please contact email@example.com for more information.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything at all.
A/N: Okay this idea just popped out all of a sudden and you know how it is when an idea keeps plaguing your head… you can't sleep unless you got it typed down so here it goes… Hope you'll read and review…
Prologue: New Blood
Settling all his bags in his new room, the red head decided to go down stairs to meet the other boarders. As soon as he descended from the stairs, "You must me the new recruit," a whiskered blond grinned widely as he placed his arms behind his head. "Yeah," the guy in question replied as he approached the group. "I'm Naruto," he offered his hand to the new boarder. "Shikamaru," the boy with a ponytail did he same. "Chouji," a rather large boy took his hand out of the potato chips and offered it to him too. "Lee," this guy with a bowl cut hair, stuck out his thumb and flashed a shining smile that made the others groan in embarrassment.
After shaking each of their hand, "Gaara," he muttered. "Sooo Gaara, what brings you to our humble boarding house?" Naruto immediately began the interrogation. "I don't want to live with my annoying siblings so I decided to move out. Besides, this place is near the university." He sat on the couch beside Chouji who seems not interested in the conversation at all. "University? The Shinobi Institute?" Shikamaru looked at him lazily so he only nodded.
"Well it seems that aside from being board mates, we're also going to be schoolmates," Lee said politely. As the conversation was progressing, the door opened to reveal a man wearing a loose jacket and jogging pants.
Gaara immediately took notice of how his body was so petite. His emerald eyes took notice of how his face was too good looking much like a girl's. The man turned his attention to the group especially to the new face he was seeing. "Who's the new blood?" the feminine voice came from the man surprised Gaara.
"Sakura-chan! This is Gaara the new boarder," Naruto patted his shoulders as introduced him. "So you're the one brother was talking about," she removed her cap to her long pink hair tumble down to till her waist.
It was like that… he was already in a trance. This person who was looking back at him has this effect that no other person has. "Sakura," she approached him without breaking their eye contact. Gaara on the other hand wasn't too aware that she was already in front of him. He got lost in the pair of forest green eyes and forgot all about reality.
"Oi, oi Gaara easy there she might melt," Lee smacked his back heavily. He coughed a bit from the impact then regained his composure. "Gaara," he offered his hand and she gladly accepted it.
"Why don't you guys order dinner? I'm hungry," she released his hand then went to her room. "Why does a girl stay in a boy's dormitory?" he asked as he stared after her. "Because my friend, Sakura is the land lord's only daughter and as far as I know her whole family is abroad. So now she's like our land lady," Naruto opened the television then settled on the couch as Chouji was already ordering fast food for dinner.
Gaara finally recovered from her spell so he sat beside Naruto. "Don't worry about Sakura. She's unlike the girls who powders every now and then. Sakura's like… one of the boys," the whiskered boy reassured him. "So she's lesbian?" he asked tactlessly. All of the boys burst out laughing except the red head. "No, she will kill you if she heard you say that," Shikamaru said in between his laughs.
"Say what?" Sakura emerged from her room wearing a different pair of jogging pants and a loose shirt. "Nothing," they answered simultaneously. She raised her thin eyebrow in reaction. While she was about to ask further, the door bell rang. "Must be our dinner," the large boy quickly opened the door and paid for the food.
"Let's eat," Naruto followed after Chouji to the dinning area. The others sat around the table while Naruto and Chouji arranged the food. "Ready… Get set…" the fat boy was announcing and Gaara was totally clueless. "GO!!!" the boys except for Gaara and Sakura started grabbing what they can from the selection in front of them.
He stared incredulously at the sight before him. "Here," the girl beside him handed him a plate filled with all the dishes. "Thanks," he took the plate without second thought. "Traumatized?" she taunted him. "Hn," he replied then Sakura giggled then she suggested that they start eating so they did.
After dinner, everyone was in front of the television watching a horror movie. "I'm beat. You guys enjoy your porn I'm going to bed. Good night," she said as she climbed the stairs. "Night Sakura," everyone except for the red head shouted. "Sakura by the way, we're going to shoot some hoops tomorrow wanna join?" Lee asked just before Sakura entered her room. "Alright," she replied with a yawn then she shut her door.
"What about you Gaara? Wanna come with?" Shikamaru asked the red head. "Are you sure about asking her to join?" he asked disbelievingly. "Sakura? Of course, she's actually better that some of us," he looked directly at Naruto. "Hey, hey no personal attacks behind my back," the blond retorted.
As what Shikamaru said, Sakura's pretty good in basketball. She shot several three points and a lot of lay ups. When Sakura was guarding Gaara, there was a time when they both simultaneously jumped to prevent the other from shooting. In the end, he landed on top of her. "Nice block," he said inches away from her face. "Thanks," she replied with a smile.
Sakura's team won seventy-three to seventy against Gaara's team. "Are you sure she's a girl?" he asked Naruto in between his breaths. "You haven't seen half of it," the blond said as if there was so much more to her.
The next day, it was the start of a new semester. The others were having their breakfast when Sakura descended from the stairs. Gaara's eyes widened in surprise at what he saw but the others seem not surprised at all. She sat beside him like the usual. "It feels comfortable plus I have consent from my professor." She grinned at him as she grabbed herself a toast. "I wasn't asking," he said snobbishly. "Yes but you had to admit you were looking at me like I'm sort of a lesbian wearing a boy's uniform," Sakura hit the target so the red head couldn't retaliate anymore.
In class, she sat beside him at the back row. In the first few minutes everything was normal- she was listening to the lecture and so was he but then a few moments. Sakura opened her book in front of her so that it would hide her face then started dozing off. He stared at her incredulously. How can this girl act so different? He thought he had the girl's behavior figured out from observing his older sister but then he stand correct. The solid proof of this was the pink haired woman beside him.
The professor was approaching their row and Sakura was too deep in sleep to hear Naruto and Lee's voices telling her to wake up. Gaara looked away thinking I have been acting weird lately since I saw her. Why should I care? The teacher was a few steps away and Sakura's slumber still continues.
Without second thought, he threw her a pencil. The pencil landed right on top of her head waking her up. As if on timing, she raised her head in time when the professor was right in front of her. She would've gotten away with it except for the fact that the print on her textbook somehow stuck on her right cheek.
"Ms. Haruno, how does blood circulate?" the professor asked with an agitated expression. Sakura got up then recited the each step as if she was wide awake when it was taught. Satisfied, the teacher proceeded to teaching.
Gaara arrived late in the afternoon at the dorm. Upon seeing the gang, an uneasy silence greeted him. He was still new so he did not dare to ask 'what the hell was going on?' so instead of hanging out with the people who obviously wasn't in the mood for any socialization, he went to his room and slept.
Minutes after his arrival, the door was unlocked then Sakura went in. upon realizing the tension, "Alright, what's up Shikamaru? Chouji?" they had been friends long enough to know who and who's hasn't got a problem.
A/N: What about it eh? Did you like it? Tell me…

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Back in episode 794 of this podcast, Vietnam Veteran News, The Healing Box Project was featured. The Project is a program being carried out at the Truman VA Hospital in Columbia, Missouri by Dave Dunklee and his wife CJ. The purpose of the Project is to help veterans with PTSD with the magic of music, guitar music to be exact.
The method of operation and results or the Project are so astounding I felt the need to have Dave and CJ as guests on the podcast to tell us more about this outstanding method of dealing with the terrible effects of PTSD. They were kind enough to come on and share with us about the Project. Dave is a retired music teacher who lives in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. He and CJ heard about a program at the VA hospital intended to help veterans of the Gulf wars and he thought with his teaching talents he could help so he volunteered his services to the hospital.
The Dunklees immediately set up a program of teaching veterans how to assuage PTSD symptoms with playing guitars. Dave had developed a training procedure during his years of teaching that could have a totally novice playing tunes within five minutes. The program he was working with ended when the Gulf war slowed up but he was immediately requited by councilors to continue his program at the Truman VA Hospital.
The couple readily accepted the invitation and continued The Healing Box Project that had been started for Gulf War veterans. Now most of their clients are Vietnam Veterans. Their success rate has been phenomenal and it has prevented more than one contemplated suicide. All the work they do for the Project is voluntary and they receive no support from the VA other than a place to meet.
To date they have given away at no cost to the participating veterans 88 guitars. These instruments have an average cost of $270 each and they are all premium brands like Fender and Gibson. Funds for the guitars come from fundraisers and donations.
This is a tremendous program run by some wonderful people. You are encouraged to make a donation to the Project so the Dunklees can continue their important work.

VectorsVectors (0,2,1) and (-2,4,5) and a third vectors form a triangle. What is the height of this triangle?
- print Print
- list Cite
The "height" of the triangle depends on which side you declare your base.
Picture any (non equilateral) triangle on a piece of paper. Rotate it so that a different side is the base. You'll observe that the height depends on which side is the base.
That said, let's just figure out the side lengths to start with:
`<0,2,1>` has length `sqrt(0^2+2^2+1^2)=sqrt(5)`
`<-2,4,5>` has length `sqrt((-2)^2+4^2+5^2)=sqrt(45)`
The final side must be given by the vector <-2-0,4-2,5-1> = <-2,2,4>
So it has length
So let's think of this as a triangle ABC with sides a, b, c
side a is across from angle A
side b is across from angle B
side c is across from angle C
side a has length `sqrt(5)`
side b has length `sqrt(45)`
side c has length `sqrt(24)`
Now comes the ambiguous part. Any one of these can be placed as the base. I am going to take b as the base, and find the height, but you can take any of these to be the base, and you will get different heights.
We can calculate angle A (or any of the angles) using the law of cosines:
`a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc "cos" A`
`5=45+24-2sqrt(24*45) "cos" A `
`2sqrt(24*45) "cos" A = 64`
`"cos" A = (32)/(6sqrt(30))`
`"cos" A = .9737`
`A=.2299` ` `(in radians)
Now, to get the height of the triangle, consider the right triangle made out of c, part of b, and the height of the triangle, h. (We "drop a perpendicular" from angle B, at the top of the triangle)
This right triangle has a hypotenuse of `sqrt(24)` and an angle of .2299 radians
So we use:
`"sin" A = ("OPP")/("HYP")`
`"sin" .2299 = (h)/(sqrt(24))`
`h = sqrt(24) "sin" .2299 = 1.116`
So the height of the triangle (assuming the long side is the base) is 1.116

When one decides to stay in the middle, runs generally come as you play yourself in and that is what happened to New Zealand' Bradley-John Watling. The 28-year-old wicketkeeper batsman notched up his third Test hundred on the fourth day of the second Test against India in Wellington on Monday. (Highlights)
Coming in at 94/5 on Day 3, with New Zealand staring at the massive innings defeat, Watling stuck it out with skipper Brendon McCullum as the pair ended the day without further alarms. His marathon effort is by far his best Test performance as his previous two hundreds were against lower-ranked teams like Zimbabwe (102* at Napier on January 26, 2012) and Bangladesh (103 at Chittagong, October 9, 2013). (Scorecard)
Watling has been living under the shadow of McCullum as a wicket-keeper, being the most consistent Kiwi glovesman since the latter gave up keeping in the longest format of the game. In the course of his innings, Watling saw McCullum reach is 9th Test ton and complete 5000 runs in Tests. Watling himself reached his seventh half-century in the latter stages of the third day and completed 1000 runs in Tests.
The fourth day saw Watling continue where he had left off as New Zealand faced the prospect of batting the entire day out. He brought up three figures, an innings that took him 297 deliveries and was punctuated with 12 hits to the fence. Watling also set the Kiwi record overtaking McCullum for the longest period of time batted in a Test innings - over 400 minutes at the crease.
Watling's knock may not be the most strokeful innings, but was laced with enough determination and grit to frustrate the visitors, who were already busy dealing with McCullum who had curbed his natural aggression to play a long innings. With survival being the key for the Kiwis, Watling's innings served the purpose of playing out time and giving an outside chance for hosts to defend their 1-0 lead in the Test series.
Watling's innings finally ended on 124 when Mohammed Shami removed him for 124. That ended a record 352-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Brendon McCullum.

England prepare for Pakistan's bowlers after they lost the first Twenty20 in Dubai by eight runs.
Stuart Broad planning for England to face down Umar Gul's bowling
DUBAI // Stuart Broad, the England captain, says his side must find a way to combat the threat of Umar Gul's death bowling if they are to square the Twenty20 series against Pakistan tonight.
Broad will pursue a second win of his budding reign as England captain, safe in the knowledge that they would likely be a game up in the three-match series were it not for the late-innings parsimony of the Pakistan fast bowler on Thursday night.
Pakistan clinched the opening game by eight runs, as England's inexperienced batsmen faltered with the winning line in sight.
"We need to make sure we come back [tonight] right in the zone," said Broad, who will be leading England for the fourth time.
"There was certainly a lot right with our performance [on Thursday].
"It is important our guys get their plans right against their experienced bowlers at the end and, hopefully, we can come out on the right side."
England may be the defending world champions in the format, but Pakistan have won more Twenty20 internationals than any other side. Given the savvy their bowlers showed on Thursday here, it is easy to see why, and Misbah-ul-Haq, the captain, is happy to have such a potent arsenal at his disposal.
"When you have Umar Gul, Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal, three of the top bowlers in T20 cricket, you always have a chance," Misbah said.
"When a bowler is at his best it is difficult to play him. Gul bowled really well [in the opening match] and there was no answer to him."

Colorado's largest state-based gun lobbying group has filed a lawsuit against Gov. John Hickenlooper over the strict new gun control measures he signed into law in the aftermath of last year's mass shootings.
Rocky Mountain Gun Owners filed the lawsuit in district court Sept. 4 in hopes of overturning what it says is unconstitutional legislation requiring extended background checks and restricting the size of ammunition magazines.
Dudley Brown, the group's executive director, said Tuesday the Windsor-based organization "will fight to keep the constitutional rights of Coloradans intact by challenging these laws on every front."
In May, sheriffs in 55 of Colorado's 64 counties filed a lawsuit, arguing the law's limits on ammunition magazines violate the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms. Most of the sheriffs behind the lawsuit represent rural, gun-friendly parts of the state.

Alaska Sea Grant requests marine research proposals that address Alaska issues
- Ginny Eckert, Associate Director of Research, Alaska Sea Grant, 907-786-5450, email@example.com
- Michele Frandsen, Research Coordinator, Alaska Sea Grant, 907-474-7088, email@example.com
Fairbanks, Alaska—Alaska Sea Grant is looking for creative and innovative research proposals in the natural, social, and education sciences that will address issues of healthy coastal ecosystems, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, resilient communities and economies, and environmental literacy and workforce development.

Consequences of the Station Fire
September 27th, 2009
Podcast: Download (Duration: 33:20 — 30.5MB)
Wildland firefighter and fire ecologist Rick Halsey returns to Treehuggers International to discuss the impact of the Station Fire, burning in the San Gabriel Mountains.
The founder and director of the Escondido-based California Chaparral Institute, Rick is also a member of the San Diego Regional Fire Safety Forum, and the author of the book Fire, Chaparral, and Survival In Southern California.
With major wildfires having blackened scores of acres in the Golden State this year in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Gold Country and the Sierra foothills, and the counties of Santa Barbara (four times in the last 12 months), Mendocino, Sonoma, Sacramento, and elsewhere, it seems every season has become fire season in California.
But few in the Southland were ready for the size and duration of the fire which swept down the canyons into Altadena, La Cañada Flintridge, and Tujunga. Ultimately the Station Fire set a notorious record, as the largest wildfire ever in Los Angeles County.
After claiming two lives, destroying over 80 homes, and burning through 154,000 acres of the Angeles National Forest, the Station Fire is at last nearly under control, and conservationists, fire professionals, outdoor recreationsists and political leaders are beginning to take stock of what was lost and what can be done.
Of concern to Treehuggers International are the dozens of prized outdoor recreation spots in the Angeles National Forest now consigned to memory, obliterated in the furnace of the wildfire. Locales like the famous Vetter Mountain Lookout served as havens for generations of Southern Californians eager to recharge in the "good tidings" of the San Gabriels' chaparral-covered slopes, meadows, streams, forests, and Mojave Desert and L.A. Basin views.
While the Station Fire did not make major penetrations into the San Gabriel high country, thousands of acres of old-growth chaparral were lost.
As is the case with the frequent fire pattern currently at work in Southern California, the way has been cleared for aggressive, non-native grasses and other plants to move in, thereby increasing the risk of fire in the near term, and making it more more difficult for the natural ecosystem of the region to re-establish itself.
As fires become more frequent in our ongoing drought, it seems California's chaparral wildlands are burning themselves into oblivion.
But is all of this a calamity? Are even more firebreaks and brush clearing in the backcounty necessary to avoid another disaster? Should these fires simply be allowed to burn themselves out?
Rick Halsey explains why the solutions to avoiding disaster in California's year-round fire season come first with the understanding that large fires are not unusual for our environment; the frequency is the problem. Fire is a natural, normal part of western "dry forest" ecosystems, but humans are causing far too many fires for even nature to handle.
Wise management and an appreciation for the Mediterranean climate of Southern California is the cornerstone to respecting the region's wild side, and understanding fire is a natural, normal part of California's ecosystems.

text: Several weeks ago I was approached about coaching jv girls basketball. I have always been athletic, grew up playing sports recreationally, but most of my real training has been in dance. But, with the economy the way it is, they offered a decent stipend, so I said yes. And since I quit coaching the dance team 4 years ago I felt like something was missing. And so far, so good. The girls are mostly great kids, a few difficult children, but after raising mine, they should be easy! We practice almost every afternoon with the varsity. The two varsity coaches are both 20 something males, and they do all the teaching of skills, plays, etc. My job is to sit on the bench during games and look like I know what I'm doing. The boy's coach offered to sit with me the first few games until I'm comfortable because I helped him learn a computer grading program earlier this year and he feels he "owes" me! But, God am I tired. At 46, needing knee replacement, it's not easy running up and down the court after 14, 15, and 16 year olds---LOL. Add a weak bladder on top of that and well....you get the picture. AND next week I'm keeping JJ (my 2 year old grandson) for the entire week so that PCson and daughter in law can take a break before the new baby comes early next summer. I've hired a nanny for the days, so I can work, but with difficult child and pcdaughter home, all the bedrooms are taken, so I've got to figure out where I can put a bed for him, get a bed in the house, and get him a "place" set up. PCdaughter hasn't been a lot of help around the house, not much you can do when you travel by crutches and can't put any weight on your foot. difficult child is working fairly regularly (two part time jobs) and he'll do what I ask to help out, but I really don't even have time to ask. And husband, well, I'm worried about him because he is awfully grump lately. And goes to sleep every night before 8!!!! And I've told him to go to the dr., but he won't take the time! He'd rather whine and complain! UGH!!! Okay, enough of that---just a short update and explanation of why my posts and responses have been infrequent and may be for a while.

Confiserie Roodthooft
This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (April 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Confiserie Roodthooft is a family company producing Belgian sweets and toffees. The company was founded by Louis Roodthooft and Johanna Stoops in Antwerp, Belgium in 1925. Roodthooft was in charge of sales whilst Stoops took care of the everyday running of the factory, which was not a usual thing for a Belgian woman to do back then.
The company's most famous product is the 'Caramella Mokatine', also known as the 'Arabier', a coffee-flavoured sweet in a sachetti wrapper. The sachetti wrapper was introduced to Belgium by Louis Roodthooft in 1934. The third-generation family company currently exports to countries all over the world. Their latest range, "Our Original Belgian Toffees" combines original recipes from the 1920s with contemporary packaging.
The company's headquarters are in a listed building built in 1905-7 by former students of Victor Horta.

We need an experienced beta tester preferably in Texas
Our drones are American-made in Galveston, Texas.
This is the Faucon Lifter Series V1.0, intended for use in videography, SAR, or any commercial application requiring smooth flight characteristics. The Lifter V1.0 is an Octocopter. It is not intended for use in sport flying, although this can be configured by an advanced user who is familiar with firmware settings and prop requirements.
The Lifter Series was designed for stability and ruggedness. This is a commercial and advanced hobbyist product. We spent over a year developing an airframe that is highly shock resistant.
However, we are not experienced RC pilots and we are now looking for some help along these lines. If you are an RC pilot with experience in heavy lift drones, we could use your assistance. Please contact us via PM if interested in having one of these units in your inventory. We will ship you a Faucon Lifter Series in exchange for your input and recommendations.
MOTORS: Avroto LIFT 3515 400Kv
Props: Carbon fiber 15" x 6.5
ESCs: ZTW Spider Series 50A Opto - SimonK firmware
Landing Gear: Retractable carbon fiber with shock absorption
Power: 2x 5000mA 14.8V wired in parallel to deliver 10A power (we recommend at least a 10A power source for these units to ensure rapid response and extended flight times). A charger and one (1) battery pack are included.
Guidance: Standard configuration is a Crius Pro that comes fully tuned, with back up configuration downloadable, coupled with an Adafruit GPS module -- Adafruit's GPS modules are highly sensitive and accurate, having been used at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet. This package is compatible with mission planning software and is wonderfully reliable if it is properly tuned, which we do.

Jen over at Feeling Geeky tagged me yesterday to do a photo meme and I'm in the mood to do it so here goes:
This meme is to open my photo folder and post a photo and tell you all about it.
Here are the official rules:
1. Go to your Picture Folder Flickr account on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder set and then pick the 6th Picture.
3. Post it on your blog and tell the story that goes with the picture.
4. Tag 5 other glorious people to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog telling them about it.
So in keeping with my theme of breaking meme rules I'm going to change this a bit. I don't have a photo folder with pictures that I can post on this computer so I'm going to use my Flickr sets instead.
This was taken on New Year's Day at Chris's parents lake house in the front yard on the rope swing. We had decided to go for a hike that day and on the way back Chris and Evey stopped for a little play time before going in for lunch and some hot chocolate.
I'm not tagging anyone. If you want to play along please do and drop me a line letting me know you did. 😀
More pictures from Leonard Lake tomorrow. 😀

Today's flight consisted of a number of landings over at Mulino State Airpark. These landings consisted of the usual: normal, short, and soft field. On top of this however, I got to practice and do a great job at some short approach landings including and a "power-off 180."
Side Slips, Steep Turns, and Stalls
Yesterday evening, I met up with my instructor at 6:30 to do some ground followed by a flight. The ground was a good session going over a number of topics I need to memorize and work on. After a flight prep, we were off.

Estimating value-at-risk via Markov switching ARCH models - an empirical study on stock index returns
This paper estimates the Value-at-Risk (VaR) on returns of stock market indexes including Dow Jones, Nikkei, Frankfurt Commerzbank index, and FTSE via Markov Switching ARCH (SWARCH) models. It is conjectured that structural changes contribute to non-normality in stock return distributions. SWARCH models, which admit parameters based on various states to control structural changes in the estimating periods, may thus help mitigate kurtosis, tail-fatness and skewness problems in estimating VaR. Significant kurtosis and skewness in return distributions of Dow Jones, Nikkei, FCI and FTSE and significant tail-fatness (tail-thinness) in the 1% (5%) region critical probability are documented. Moreover, it is shown that the more generalized SWARCH outshines both ARCH and GARCH in capturing non-normalities with respect to both in- and out-sample VaR violation rate tests.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
16:04 16 August 2012
The government has issued a bold threat to enter the Ecuadorian embassy in London in order to arrest WikiLeaders founder Julian Assange, who is currently seeking political asylum there.
Australian activist Assange is in risk of being extradited to Sweden to face allegations of sexual assault, but his notoriety stems mainly from his founding of the non-profit site Wikileaks which discloses classified documents via whistleblowers, news leaks and official sources and makes them public, usually resulting in scandal.
Ecuador's minister for foreign affairs, Ricardo Patino, released details of a letter to the press which he claims was delivered through a British embassy official in Quito.
The letter read: "You need to be aware that there is a legal base in the UK, the Diplomatic and Consular Premises Act 1987, that would allow us to take actions in order to arrest Mr Assange in the current premises of the Embassy.
"We sincerely hope that we do not reach that point, but if you are not capable of resolving this matter of Mr Assange's presence in your premises, this is an open option for us."
Mr Patino was quoted by the Telegraph as saying: "Today we received from the United Kingdom an express threat, in writing, that they might storm our embassy in London if we don't hand over Julian Assange.
"If the measure announced in the British official communication is enacted, it will be interpreted by Ecuador as an unacceptable, unfriendly and hostile act and as an attempt against our sovereignty. It would force us to respond. We are not a British colony".
Countering this argument, an official spokeswoman for the Foreign office said Britain is obligated to extradite Assange. Their statement, released to the press, downplayed the apparent threat and stated that it was only giving "Ecuador the full picture".
The Foreign Office statement said: "Throughout this process we have drawn the Ecuadorians' attention to relevant provisions of our law, whether, for example, the extensive human rights safeguards in our extradition procedures, or the legal status of diplomatic premises in the UK.
"The UK has a legal obligation to extradite Mr Assange to Sweden to face questioning over allegations of sexual offences and we remain determined to fulfil this obligation.
"We have an obligation to extradite Mr Assange and it is only right that we give Ecuador the full picture.
"We are still committed to reaching a mutually acceptable solution."
On Thursday, the Ecuadorian government will announce whether it would give Assange asylum.

Dr. Ivan S. Baroya is a Diplomat of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and he is a licensed physician and surgeon in the state of California. Currently, he is the attending physician of Inpatient psychiatric services at the San Diego based Aurora Behavioral Health Hospital, and is a frequent and in demand consultant for the pharmaceutical industry.
Dr. Baroya graduated medical school from Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California in 1995. He completed his post-doctoral residency at Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center, Department of Psychiatry, Chicago, Illinois in 1999. Additionally, he received the prestigious C. J. Coon award from the Department of Medical Technology at Andrews University. Throughout his time at Andrew's University, Dr. Baroya demonstrated consistent academic excellence which resulted in him being recognized as an outstanding student on the school's Dean's List all four years.
Clinical research has always been a passion for Dr. Baroya. Through the years, he has worked as both a Sub-Investigator and Principal Investigator on numerous clinical Phase I, II, and III clinical research studies in Southern California. Schizophrenia, Bipolar I, Major Depression, Post-traumatic Stress, and Generalized anxiety are just some of the psychiatric disorders in which he has conducted extensive investigation research.
After a thorough evaluation process, Dr. Baroya selects treatment based on both pharmacological and psychological approaches. Philosophically, he truly believe that success in mental health treatment results from an understanding of the underlying psychiatric illness in the context of both the family and interpersonal relationships. Naturally, his work with patients is collaborative with the goal of maximizing each individual's strengths, leading to functioning at their full capacity.
Furthermore, Dr. Baroya is of the opinion that an effective psychiatrist must have two things: 1) an extensive working knowledge of psychopharmacology, so that evidence-based treatment can be provided correctly, and 2) a refined psychotherapy technique, a unique craft which requires a natural open-mindedness to patients along with many years of training in technique.
