If you have more questions that you think should be answered on this page, email them to us at email@example.com.
What are the Weight Classes?
In our heavy weight division, we have the Huron Arbor Cluster and the West Michigan Cluster! In 2015 the West Michigan Cluster won for the second year in a row.
Our middle weight division is made up of the Headwaters, Mid-Michigan and Southwest Corner Clusters. The Mid-Michigan Cluster won last year!
The light weight division includes the Lakeplain, Raisin, Western Lake Erie, Southeast Hub (in New Hampshire), Lakes Country Cluster, and Lake St. Clair Cluster (CISMA).
CWMA Reporting Groups – While each of our Clusters acts as a CWMA, there are also other independent CWMAs across the country. For the last couple of years, some of our closest CWMA neighbors competed in their own category, including Northeast Michigan CWMA, the Northwest Michigan Invasive Species Network, and RRIP-IT-UP. RRRIP-IT-UP won the division in 2014. If you live in their coverage areas and are working with those groups, please indicate them on your reporting form.
Emerging Clusters are areas where partners are coming together to explore the possibilities of becoming a Cluster. These areas are not yet "launched" as fully fledged Clusters, so they don't yet compete for one of the Cluster Cups. However, individuals and organizations in these areas are encouraged to join the Garlic Mustard Challenge and report their pounds through their Emerging Cluster. In 2016, our Emerging Minnesota Cluster is participating this way.
Garlic Mustard Free Sites – Removing all second year plants from a site (or making sure none are there to begin with) is key to stopping the plants from going to seed and spreading.
How do I get involved?
It depends, are you an individual or are you working with an organization? Click on the link that best suits your situation and check out the possibilities. Or, if you have more specific questions or new ideas to share, get in touch with us at email@example.com.
What Cluster should I report my pounds to?
The one you live in, or the one you're pulling in (if those are different Clusters). You can use that link to check out a map of our Clusters to see where you fit. You can also report your pounds for one of the CWMAs reporting groups. If you don't live in any of those areas, you can report your pounds as "Out of Cluster."
Why do we send pulled garlic mustard to the landfill?
Garlic mustard is a very tricky plant. If you leave the plant on the ground where you pull it, it may re-root. Even if it doesn't, because it's a biennial plant and has plenty of energy stored up in its taproot, a pulled plant may still have enough energy to go to seed after it's been pulled. The majority of compost piles aren't maintained in a way that gets hot enough to break the plant down. That means that you may actually spread the seed with the compost, creating a bigger problem than before. In fact, burning the plant with other yard clippings won't even destroy the seeds.
For example, legislation in Michigan states that:
"Yard clippings shall be… disposed of in a landfill or incinerator, but only if the yard clippings are diseased or infested or are composed of invasive plants, such as garlic mustard… that are collected through an eradication or control program… and are inappropriate to compost." (SB 513 Sec 11521(1)(i))
Please note that it is EXTREMELY important to mark the bags you've pulled as "Invasive Plants." You can do so with a permanent marker and a piece of masking tape that you stick to the bags. This will help ensure that your local waste collection service will know they should pick up those bags.
How do I get my trash pick-up to take my garlic mustard?
Michigan: Refer to "Why do we send pulled garlic mustard to the landfill" (above)
Wisconsin: In Wisconsin yard waste may not be disposed of in landfills. However, NR 40, Wisconsin's invasive species rule allows for the transportation and disposal of NR 40 listed species. There is specific rule language that allows, but does not require landfill operators to accept this material. If a hauler is refusing to pick up garlic mustard, place a note on the bag to the effect of "Garlic Mustard – legally restricted invasive plant, approved for landfilling by WI DNR." Usually that is pretty effective and the bags get picked up. For more information, visit the Wisconsin DNR website.
If you know of specific reference for other states, please share them with us!
Are there other management techniques for garlic mustard?
Yes, there are. Hand-pulling is the best way to get the most people involved. However, depending on the density of your garlic mustard population, and the resources and trainings available to you, herbicides and prescribed burns can also be effective methods. Be sure you are fully trained and prepared if you are interested in trying these methods. If you want more information before getting started, please contact us at email@example.com and we can connect you with the right people to answer your questions.
What else should I keep an eye out for?
Some people have asked why we focus on garlic mustard when there are many different invasives out there. We focus on garlic mustard as an introduction to invasive plants and how to manage them. If you've been working with Garlic Mustard for a year or two and are interested in working with some other plants, you can also pull Dame's Rocket and Narrow-leaf Bittercress and include them in your bags and bag count.
Dame's Rocket and Narrow-leaf Bittercress come out about the same time as Garlic Mustard, and can also be controlled with persistent hand-pulling.
Where do I report bags?
Through our easy, online reporting form!
What does garlic mustard look like?
Great question! It depends on what stage it's in, and the time of year.
First year plants (or second year plants in early spring) are a rosette with kidney shaped leaves. In fact, they look very similar to violets, but if you crush the leaves they'll smell like garlic.
In their second year, once it gets warm out, those rosettes bolt and develop triangular, toothed leaves. At the top, the plants will develop a cluster of small, four-petaled, white flowers. The seeds fruit into long pods that dry and burst, shooting the seeds up to three feet!
You can also check out the Garlic Mustard ID card.
How are pounds calculated?
We use a simple equation for translating our bags to pounds. A 33-gallon trash bag counts as 30 pounds, and a 13-gallon trash bag (or a "kitchen" trash bag) counts as 15 pounds.
What should I wear to pull garlic mustard?
Closed-toed shoes, longs pants, long sleeves and gloves are all recommended. You should also consider sunscreen, insect repellent, and sunglasses.
Where can I find garlic mustard?
Garlic mustard grows in a lot of different kinds of places, in shade and in full sun. It grows in forests, tree lines, along roads and trails, in railroad and power-line easements, and under thick brush. We need a lot of eyes out monitoring all these different places!
Is garlic mustard safe to eat?
Yes, in moderation. Garlic mustard has no poisonous look a-likes, although you want to be sure your only eating garlic mustard from sites where herbicides have not been used. There are plenty of recipes to be found online, so search around and experiment! Garlic mustard can be used to take the place of other, more common greens in soups, salads, pastas and more. If you come across a great recipe, please share it in a comment here or on our Facebook page!

Reading Evangelii Gaudium has me thinking about joy. And thinking about joy always sets me thinking about the theme of joy in classical music. Mozart, particularly, puts a smile on my face with his compositions of joy. Exultate Jubilate is one of my favorites.
Russian coloratura soparano Julia Lezhneva gives us an idea of what the angels in heaven must sound like as they sing praise to our wonderful God!
Exultate! Rejoice! Jubilate! Be glad!

Below is our take on The Donald's candidacy, character, and carrot-like coloring, and (YHWH help us) presidency from a biblical perspective. There are things to read and things to buy.
Note: A Game For Good Christians did not officially endorsing any candidate.
For Your Reading Pleasure
To be clear: you are the absolute worst, and there will be a reckoning, before God, one day. Hope you're wearing clean underwear.
Here we wondering how modern evangelicalism so utterly lost its way, and became rampant with misogynistic and chauvinistic screeds, masquerading as conservative Christian values.
Previously we wrote a humorous comparison between the foul mouthed Apostle to the gentiles and the GOP candidate for pussy grab...errr president. Now, we're looking into the lives of King Solomon and the Orange Wonder.
"The Church universal does not feel one way about abortion or legal proceedings within the United States. Individual denominations, and individual people within those denominations, will make up their own minds in regards to these things. And miraculously, divinely, they remain within the Love of Christ."
" . . .And as we all know, it only matters if a leader's morality is sound in one instance, on one issue. That is all God cares about."
"These mitzvoth are going to be huge. There is nothing like them. I guarantee that. And of course, I wrote them myself."
"...the following missive proving how Donald J. Trump of New York, the Republican nominee for President of these United States has taken up the prophetic and apostolic mantle of Saint Paul, formerly of Tarsus, one of the chief architects of this nation's greatest religion (after self-obsession)."
Fleeing oppression and likely death, the holy family crossed international boarders without papers. They took whatever they could carry, what little resources they had, and fled. Joseph trusted that God would provide for his family: a Brown day laborer with carpentry skills, a young, frightened wife, and their precociously wide-eyed child.
A follow-up to our post regarding Franklin Graham's position on the refugee crisis, and a response to some unsolicited feedback from a fan. Because sometimes we must meet fake news and alternative faith head on.
...Frankie-boy, you brought the Bible into this: That wonderful tome we love, your butt-buddy's tiny hand swore the oath of office on (miraculously, without bursting into flames), and whose dust-covered binding you haven't cracked in years.
We couldn't help ourselves: A Game for Good Christians is pleased to present our Limited Edition Expansion:
The Trump Cards: "Fake News" from the Bible
(Price includes shipping and handling)

Well guys, I am happy to introduce another amazing beauty to our site here. She is also unique because she is the first girl on the site from down under in Australia. We have partnered up with a photographer down there that will be providing us with a new continent of new ladies. So the first submission from him is a great one named Lena Moore. She is a 19 year old activist that is taking this as her first opportunity to show herself off. Another interesting thing about this girl is that she is a supporter of a group called Free The Nipple, you can find info about them on their website, and I have to say that I agree with what they are looking of. Take a minute and take a look, maybe you can spread the word. Enjoy our brand new hottie.
I feel ike Lena was kind of a girl that we let get away. I was not super happy with all of the content that we got from her, but even with that being said she was super hot. I mean this girl had a very interesting face and her body just wouldn't quit. She has been in touch again so we will see if we can get some better stuff from her.LENA'S SHORT VIDEOS
Like I said previously she did not like doing these videos, so it was kind of hard to get her going for a while, so we put together a couple short clips here and I will give them as a double update for today with the photo set.LENA'S SHOWER TIME
The video for Lena was a little short today so I figured that I would give you a photo set as well.. so here is this curvy cutie looking great in the shower and getting all soapy.LENA WAKING UP
Here is another video from the very cute and very shy Lena Moore. She is waking up from a little nap here and coming down to put some other clothes on. She was a little nervous to do videos, so this is a little short but still a nice view.LENA'S SHEER BED WEAR
This girl has just got a great body. I mean it is just great... The first time I saw her she was wearing this little tank top and I almost dropped to the ground. Just an amazingly pretty girl with some amazing curves. I think if we get her back in the studio she will be much more into what we are doing, but I think for these first couple shoots there was still a little shyness.LENA'S TUB
Double update of Lena today just because I feel like it. Here she is totally nude from the start in the tub. What a body.. hope that you enjoy this little boobfest.LENA & HER OIL
I get a lot of emails about Lena... not sure what it is about this girl, but she really strikes a chord with a lot of our members. Well, I have a bit of an idea what it is. I think that it might be her great face and her great chest. Here she is doing a little strip out of some overalls and rubbing some oil on herself. Always fun.LENA ON THE BALCONY
There is something very sexy about this girl. Maybe the fact that she has never really done this before. Maybe it has something to do with her eyes, or maybe it has to do with her great curves. One thing is for sure that this girl is very fun to look at.LENA'S FIRST SET
Here is the first photo update from our new girl from down under named Lena Moore. Here she is trying on some clothes at the top of the steps. Just to let you know, this is her first shoot like this that she has ever done, so she was a little shy but at the same time amazingly beautiful.LENA'S FIRST VIDEO
Here is the first video from Lena and I have to tell you that she was not really excited about the video clips, she was a little shy like I mentioned and just getting over a little cold, but she still looks amazing and I am glad that she was happy to do them in the end.

I would love to hear from you ladies what your thoughts are on this topic. I occasionally tend to the nether regions with some clippers; but I don't take everything off my whole body.
I would live your thoughts about it. What you like or don't like.

I think it's a good idea I mean you don't have to be bald down there but trim. Whatever you're comfortable with just know that trying really short will make your pubes grow back thicker so if you're going to commit to it then really commit otherwise it'll be like Tarzan crotch lol
Thank you @jaga that very helpful! I have noticed that it always seems more wild the next time! Lol 😝

Since I feel so comfortable with my running routine this year, and can already do 30 minute runs, I thought it was about time to start changing things up. I may have created a 'From 5k to 10k' Running Podcast, but I'm not really interested in training for a 10k at this time.
So, what do I do? Get better at my 5k training. And how do I do that? Add in speed work via intervals. I thought of this last night while reading a Women's Health article about how our fitness/weight loss progress plateaus as soon as our bodies get used to a particular exercise regimen. Basically, we need to switch it up. We don't have to spend hours on a treadmill or out on the road running. We just need to turn up the intensity a little more!
This is music to my ears because even as gratifying and peaceful as my runs are, I'm not really interested in workout out for more than an hour. I'd rather work harder for a shorter amount of time. And yes, this explains why I love HIIT workouts so much.
So, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to start my Couch to 5k plan over, but with a twist! When my voice prompts a run, it's going to turn in as much of a sprint as I can. It's just 60 seconds to start. I'll shoot for that. Then, when it's time to walk (recover), I'll try to slow to a jog instead of a walk. I think these changes will both step up my workout, as well as continue to give me results. Win-win, right? Well, that's what I'm hoping anyway!
I'll keep everyone posted!

Disentangling effects of growth and nutritional status on seabird stable isotope ratios
By: J. Sears, Shyla A. Hatch, and D. M. O'Brien
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
A growing number of studies suggest that an individual's physiology affects its carbon and nitrogen stable isotope signatures, obscuring a signal often assumed to be only a reflection of diet and foraging location. We examined effects of growth and moderate food restriction on red blood cell (RBC) and feather ??15N and ??13C in rhinoceros auklet chicks (Cerorhinca monocerata), a piscivorous seabird. Chicks were reared in captivity and fed either control (75 g/day; n = 7) or ~40% restricted (40 g/day; n = 6) amounts of high quality forage fish. We quantified effects of growth on isotopic fractionation by comparing ??15N and ??13C in control chicks to those of captive, non-growing subadult auklets (n = 11) fed the same diet. To estimate natural levels of isotopic variation, we also collected blood from a random sample of free-living rhinoceros auklet adults and chicks in the Gulf of Alaska (n = 15 for each), as well as adult feather samples (n = 13). In the captive experiment, moderate food restriction caused significant depletion in ??15N of both RBCs and feathers in treatment chicks compared to control chicks. Growth also induced depletion in RBC ??15N, with chicks exhibiting lower ??15N when they were growing the fastest. As growth slowed, ??15N increased, resulting in an overall pattern of enrichment over the course of the nestling period. Combined effects of growth and restriction depleted ??15N in chick RBCs by 0.92???. We propose that increased nitrogen-use efficiency is responsible for 15N depletion in both growing and food-restricted chicks. ??15N values in RBCs of free-ranging auklets fell within a range of only 1.03???, while feather ??15N varied widely. Together, our captive and field results suggest that both growth and moderate food restriction can affect stable isotope ratios in an ecologically meaningful way in RBCs although not feathers due to greater natural variability in this tissue. ?? 2008 Springer-Verlag.

Switzerland is incredible, expensive, but incredible. While travelling through Europe we spent a few days in Zurich and took a day trip to Lucerne through a tour group.
Driving through rural Switzerland was almost surreal - the scenery was in a way similar to Canada with rolling fields, mountains, and clear lakes but a lot more clean and quaint.
The Swiss like to renovate and restructure old buildings rather than tear them down so all the small villages are filled with beautifully reworked old Swiss architecture with shutter windows and blue, red, and green accents.
The views on the way to Lucerne felt quintessentially Swiss, we even passed by cows with bells attached to their collars. After strolling around the Old Town we took a gondola ride up to Mt. Pilatus for incredible views of Lucerne and the Swiss Alps in the distant.
On our way up on the gondola there was a road winding it's way up the mountain along with walking trails with farm houses scattered about, people biking, and even a school houses with little Swiss children playing and walking along the mountain paths.
We love Switzerland. More photos and details to come!

News: Redmond: Black Raven Brewing cans their Coco Jones Coconut Porter
Redmond, WA - On December 2nd Coco Jones Coconut Porter will be landing in brand new six-pack 12oz cans. This beer has a storied history at Black Raven. It was first brewed back in 2009 as a variant of our Tamerlane Brown Porter, infused with toasted coconut. When customers went cuckoo for Coco, we decided to enter it in the World Beer Cup where it won a gold medal (category: herb/spiced beer) in 2010. Over the ensuing years it was brewed as a seasonal release and at the end of last year, we decided offer it as a year-round release in 22oz bottles and draft. It will join Trickster IPA as our second 12oz can offering.
About the beer:
Coco Jones unites the rich caramel and chocolate malt flavors of a traditional brown porter with beautifully toasted coconut. We painstakingly infuse the beer with fair-trade coconut that has been delicately toasted to bring out a rich and nutty flavor. This infusion is done through a combination of soaking the coconut and recirculating the beer through the coconut. The result is a well-balanced, toasted coconut flavor that melds with the smooth chocolate and roast flavors contributed by the malts.
About Black Raven Brewing:
Black Raven is an award winning brewery founded by Beaux Bowman and Kathryn Gillespie in 2009 in Redmond, WA where it operates a 15-barrel brewery as well as a taproom. Head Brewer Beaux Bowman's goal is simple: build a brewery that not only crafted beer that he wants to drink, but also be a brewery that he wants to work in. Current distribution is limited to Washington state and Alaska. Signature beers include Trickster IPA, Coco Jones Coconut Porter, Second Sight Scottish Ale, as well as seasonal favorites such as Kitty Kat Blues Pale Ale and Grandfather Raven Imperial Stout.

text: it may be said that we are unique like snowflakes — which turns out to not be quite unique, and very fractal — and that is sensible to approach other people as unique, in that being much better than an approach based on stereotype. however, the surroundings and situations would say that it is all too familiar, and consequently, the snowflake is going to trigger some memories in my past. that was the experience in visiting this couple from Serbia and Croatia (though 50+ years ago, when they left for France), I was transported in spirit of conversation and atmosphere — its essence, not its particulars — to when I was a kid and visiting relatives in the countryside. and therein lies one of the magics of multiculturalism: triggering a childhood memory from the yet-to-be-known people of other culture that have a big overlap, even with a very insular culture.

Buckskin Breeches/
Here are a few stories taken from "History of Iron County Mission and Parowan" by Luella Dalton. Enjoy this look back. The first is from John Henderson. "Once, Wm. C McGregor and I went after a load of wood up over the Hogback. I was wearing a fine new pair of buckskin breeches. Our oxen made good time, and when we were ready to start up the hill to chop our wood, it started to rain. I knew if my buckskin breeches got wet, they would be ruined, so I took them off, carefully folded them and placed them in a hollow tree that had been struck with lightning. The I proceeded to chop my wood in my hickory shirt made of home-spun cotton. Then I snaked my wood down the hillside and loaded my wagon. The rain was nearly over, so I donned my buckskin pants and drove home."
Morgan Richards says, "I thought I was pretty smart when I put on my first pair of buckskin pants and went up the canyon to work on Uncle Nattie's saw mill. When it started to rain, my pants began to stretch so I cut off a little here and a little there, then a little more and more as they continued to lengthen. When the sun began to shine, my pants began to climb higher and higher as they dried out, and my beautiful new trousers were nothing more than knee pants."

Dont have a pic from this morn. So its a file foto on the new store as looking from across the river. Complete with fishing boat. The boat is not part of the deal. Although commercial fishing would not be a bad thing to do when sales are slow.
If I did have a boat it would need to much faster than that one.
Issues at store are consuming me right now. Flooring issues. Electric issues.
And, to change things up, Im going to complain about the weather.
What the hell. If its not 40 and rain its single digits. How many times have I said that in the last three weeks. Its 6 today. Remember Monday was 45 and rain.
Ive always complained about things I cannot change and the weather is one of the things that affect the store greatly. Bothers me to no end.
But then after someone slaps me I regain composure and keep on truckin'.
I want to think about this weekend but I cannot. Not just yet. Soon.

On Friday morning when a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to help clean up a state park on Saturday morning, I of course said "yes!" It's so easy to take for granted green areas and watersheds, whether they are tucked away from most of civilization in a wilderness area or just down the street from cities and homes.
This particular volunteer morning focused on removing trash from William B. Umstead State Park, a 5600 acre park with several trails and a few lakes. Umstead is a favorite retreat for Triangle residents and even though it's in the middle of a bustling and growing area it offers plenty of opportunity for recreation. After 150 years of farming and lumber production left the soil depleted and eroded, the Civil Conservation Corps and Works Progress Administration took on the area as a project during the Great Depression. When the land was then sold to the state for $1 it was stipulated that the land always be used as a state park, which is why it has survived such close proximity to an interstate and airport and various industrial parks.
Of course, all this close proximity means humans have a high impact on the park, and hence the park cleanup event.
We arrived a few minutes late - just in time to miss the worst of the countless kids running around chaotically before the opening remarks by the event coordinator, but still in time to hear the park ranger's spiel on the history of the park and how the park's lakes and creeks are part of the Neuse River watershed. The ranger emphasized how litter from Umstead can wind up in the Atlantic Ocean: old news for most adults (hopefully) but still good information for the aforementioned gazillion kids in wellies and colorful jackets, assuming they paid any attention. (I don't blame them; they were excited to run around the park!)
In the ensuing madness at the volunteer table as kids and adults swarmed for gloves, bags, River Guardian patches, and trash tally sheets, Emily, McCrae, and I grabbed our supplies and made our escape. The volunteers fanned out, heading toward the lakes and various trails, but we wandered onto the first trail we found. In terms of interesting trash we found one rotting pair of briefs by a fallen tree - an obviously popular hangout spot based on the underwear and lots of dried up gum. (Underwear though? Aren't you a bit curious about how underwear got there?! Apparently I'm not having enough fun in my state parks!)
Otherwise the trail cleanup seemed to go well, so as responsible adults who didn't have to worry about kids we wandered off to clean up trash around high impact and non-kid-friendly places like park roads and parking lots and deep muddy creeks, hauling out cigarette butts and beer cans and bottles, an old dog collar, and plenty of unidentifiable plastic wrappers and bits.
I encourage everyone to help volunteer to clean up green spaces, whether that's a huge organized event at a state park or a few moments of being a good samaritan at a picnic area or promoting Leave No Trace in the backcountry. As the park ranger pointed out, every little bit of trash removed makes a difference; that's one less shiny bit of candy wrapper to be swallowed by a sea turtle, one less beer bottle that shatters and cuts up fish and birds, one less rotting piece of underwear to ensnare an unsuspecting dolphin in its non-biodegradable spandex band. (Seriously though, HOW DO YOU LOSE UNDERWEAR LIKE THAT?!) And of course clean watersheds mean pretty pictures of pristine parks and beaches, and since most people just skim my blog posts for pretty pictures, I know that's something we can all get behind.
So here are a few resources to help you get started on a super easy volunteer morning (seriously, it took less than two hours, we didn't even break a sweat and we spent al our time in pretty wooded places - it's a win-win!):

Schemer - What is Schemer?
I saw someone with this cool image of a cool social networking-like site. The thing I really liked was that it didn't ask you "What's on your mind?" or tell you to "Share what's new" --no this site was much better. It greeted you with "Hi" and told you you're looking a bit diabolical. It encourages you to become a schemer, to come up with things you want to do in life and go out there and do them. This my friend, is the beginning of everything worth doing. This is Schemer.com and it's really real:
Borat, Bruno, and now The Dictator
Sacha Baron Cohen returns to the big screen as an all new character, staying true to his comedic style, it's totally insulting, at times disgusting, and just plain out rude. But you love it, so it's all OK. Here's the trailer:

As promised, the trailer has been revealed 12/12/11
You will now click play... and fetch me some cookies shortly after. You will forget you watched the trailer and then come back and watch it again because it's a trip. Will Smith is top notch my friend.

The other day I wrote a post about Googles Search app for the iPad but since I don't have an iPad I couldn't try out myself, sad I know... But whatevs, I got an iPod so of course I tried it out. The iPod app sadly is still the same as it was a few months ago, but it's still great, very usefull and works much better than trying to google search on the iPods built in Safari app.

The new and improved Google Search App is now available worldwide and boy is it striking. It's really really cool, you have to check it out. If you have and iPad of course.

The iPad version beats even the browser on Android devices. Don't believe me? Look for yourself:

Spring temperatures are finally starting to creep across the US – unless you're in the Rockies (sorry for the May snow, Colorado). If you're anything like us, warmer days and later sunsets mean getting out to the range and on the trail as much as possible. We've been lucky enough in the past to always have a cooler full of beer in the truck, but this year things have changed. We're finding ourselves going further afield in search of the next hidden fly fishing stream, peak to bag, and alpine lake to swim in. Unless you've got an idiot proof way to haul that fifty-five quart cooler along for the hike, the beer – and any decent meat for some campfire cooking – is probably going to stay at the trailhead.
Looking for a solution, we turned to our friends at YETI. The Hopper is a radical departure from the typical roto-molded, bear proof bomb shelters they are known for. Rather than the typical hard plastic, the Hopper series is built out of tough Dryhide™, the same fabric that whitewater rafts are built from. An added bonus of this fabric on the inside is that it won't absorb any stink or funk like some plastics (we're looking at you, Nalgene) will over time. Seams are RF welded rather than stitched and taped, cutting down on material, but more importantly providing better waterproofing and abrasion resistance. Finally, the insulation is a closed cell foam; one inch on the sides and extra half-inch through the bottom.
Initial impressions were of its overall stiffness. The zipper had to be worked a few times (and actually comes with a small tube of silicon lubricant to keep it supple) for it to run smoothly. Even after a few dozen times filled though, the zipper closes with a satisfying "snap" and in 100% waterproof, avoiding any leaks and preventing contamination if it goes overboard. The Dryhide™ also felt incredibly abrasion resistant. It may not stand up to the bear proof guarantee of the larger coolers, but it did just fine taking a few spills out of the truck and getting dragged across camp by a greedy puppy trying to make off with our breakfast bacon. The padded shoulder strap is a godsend when hauling it along the trail, although we wouldn't recommend hiking with the larger Hopper 30 ($349.99) for extended periods.
How does it do with ice though? YETI claims that the Hopper 20 ($299.99) we tested can hold a full twelve pack of beer and double that weight in ice, while keeping drinks cold for days. We loaded it up and left it on the back porch. Keeping it zipped up except for hourly ice checks, the ice was solid for about 27 hours. After that, the slushy mix kept beer cold for almost another full day.
However, real world use is a far cry from testing it out on a shaded back porch, so I loaded the Hopper with ten pounds of ice, drinks, bacon and sausage from our favorite smokehouse, and some dark chocolate to bribe my wife to come fishing. After a two-hour drive to Southern Utah, an annoying slog through alder and cottonwood undergrowth, and a full day of slinging flies in the hot sun, the Hopper had about two-thirds of its ice load left. A night in camp and a new load of extra drinks later, most of the ice was gone, but it was still noticeably cold for another twelve hours.
Is the YETI Hopper for you? If you're looking for a way to transport a day's worth of food and beer on the trail without lashing a heavy hard cooler to your ATV or kayak, yes. It is without a doubt the best soft sided cooler on the market, and will hold ice longer than quite a few competitors' larger coolers. It is a truly unique product – yes there are other soft coolers out there, but none can approach the Hopper in terms of durability and cooling power.

ON AIR - The Hit Mix
with Steve Haze
"Wears No Bra" and "Beaver's Breath" were two of the names cited in the Sandler comedy that the actors apparently became offended with.
Now a video has emerged, via local news station KOAT 7 showing the confrontation between the producer and the actors.
It was apparently a small number of actors who walked off set, with other Native American extras saying they should "lighten up" and that other cultures too were lampooned. Apparently the actors have nicknames for each other, hence the 'Beaver's Breath' slags and whatnot.

Fatal Decree by H. Terrell Griffin
Things seemed to change when J.D. Duncan, a female detective from Miami, joined the Longboat Key force. Her addition, and insistent moral code, caused Matt to not only re-evaluate his actions, but to discover emotions he thought he would never feel again.
In Fatal Decree, the latest novel to feature Royal, we find the characters facing the biggest mystery they have ever faced. When the body of a local woman is discovered floating in the bay, Matt is immediately called by J.D. It turns out, the body has a whale tail earring in her ear, and the initials KKK carved into the back of her neck. Even more terrifying, this is the signature of of a serial killer from Miami who J.D. investigated, and who hasn't been active for years. Now Matt must help solve the case before more islanders or killed. He hates to imagine the worst, but he is scared that the killer may target J.D. next.
I was completely invested in this series the moment I began reading. Unlike other series authors, Griffin has managed to maintain his standards of both quality and content. Seven books in, he still manages to explore unique cases and take his characters into different emotional territory. It was really nice to see Matt and J.D.'s budding relationship come to a head, especially because it didn't play out in the predictable way I feared it was going to. Griffin love of Florida and the people who inhabit it is made obvious by his detailed descriptions of settings and the inclusion of small town characters that give the sometimes outlandish story a much needed dose of reality. With Fatal Decree, Griffin proves that he is very much at the top of his game. Any fan of fast paced and original mysteries is sure to enjoy this novel.

"Everything was pristine and perfect"
Just a quick note to say a MASSIVE THANKS for your service last night. The caravan was amazing. Everything was pristine and perfect in every way. The girls were fantastic, not only in terms of running an efficient bar but in friendly personality and even helping with the clean-up. Many of the customers commented on how great they were and I have passed your details onto several clients who asked. I'm sure we will use your services again in the future.
Thanks, Sandi Dunn Marketing Manager
"A real talking point- 10/10"
We hired Dolly for our wedding in Te Puke and we could absolutely not recommend her enough. Todd (her owner) is a pleasure to deal with, understanding, and flexible, which is really nice - those last few days before garden weddings can be so chaotic so it was really nice to be able to rely on someone else who is happy to help. She looked beautiful at our garden wedding and received many compliments! A real talking point and a nice way to get a variety of guests mingling together. We had our own 2 bar staff 'man the bar' and they loved every moment of it - at the end of the night, they stripped off their shirts and we had topless barmen serving from Dolly which added all the more to her character! She is very flexible and suits a variety of styles! She comes with glassware and props which makes wedding planning that extra bit easier (anyone planning a wedding knows how much a convenience is a blessing!) She would be perfect for many types of events and will only add to the occasion. 10/10 absolutely - thank you all so much xxx.
Micaela Bray.
"appreciate you going the extra mile for us"
Thank you so much for providing an amazing service on our Wedding day. We were blown away by your thoughtfulness, and appreciate you going the extra mile for us with the colour of the cake table and arranging for us to have the coolers the night before. Everyone loved Dolly and she fit our vintage theme perfectly!
All the best Kelly and Shay
"Everyone was blown away"
Many thanks for your amazing caravan and naturally the girls also. Everyone was blown away by the entire setup and how stunning it looked at night.
Once again, many thanks Sally
"Without a hitch!"
"Just want to say a huge thank you to the gang at Retro Events for being a part of our special day and going above and beyond to ensure everything relating to the bar and drinks ran without a hitch!" Regards Tommy
"just wanted to give you the biggest thank you"
The Gold Bar was absolutely fantastic, as we were expecting. But your professionalism, help on the day and your amazing staff really made it truly special, so thank you.
We have had raving praise for the two girls. They did such a great job. Were friendly, bubbly and all our guests loved them. Those that also spoke to you both when you dropped off and picked up the Gold Bar were astounded at your level of customer service, kindness and helpfulness.
Hopefully we have another event we can use you at again one day, and in the meantime we are definitely singing your praises and recommending you to everyone.
Kind regards Josh and Rachna

"I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Rebecca and her work. I remember when I first stumbled upon this dress and was amazed to find it was everything I had ever dreamed of for my wedding gown. I love the old-fashioned and Bohemian/vintage inspiration in Rebecca's gowns and was so thankful to find a designer who shared my taste in style! Working with Rebecca was a joy and she was always so helpful and informative. She took the time to customize my gown and make it special for me! I would recommend her to every bride who desires a more unique vintage-like look for her wedding day. I cannot express my gratitude enough for what a blessing Rebecca and her work has been to me!" -Erika P., Arizona
"Rebecca was so amazing to work with. It was obvious from the first dress I tried on of hers that she is an amazing designer. Her gowns range from sleek and elegant to vintage inspired. I fell in love with the Adele dress but I've always wanted lace on my dress. Together we decided to make the sleeves and bust lace. So she re created the dress and made me a one of a kind piece. I can't tell you how easy it was to just trust her that it would all turn out perfect even though I had no idea how it would look. She has such confidence in her work and her skill is SO obvious in the way she sews and designs. She is creative and talented. The worst part about working with Rebecca is having to say goodbye when you pick up your dress, I felt like I gained a friend throughout the process of making my wedding dress. She is amazing just go see her gowns and I promises you will see what I'm talking about! A million thanks to you Rebecca for creating my dream dress, I felt so beautiful on my day because of it." -Abigail G., New York NY
"In the beginning I thought, that I would never find a wedding dress, because I am always very picky with things. But this is the most beautiful dress that I have ever seen in my life. The quality of the dress is more than I could have expected - the silk and lace are unbelievably beautiful!!! The skirt is airy yet precious and the 3 layers of silk are SO gorgeous!!! The dress took my breath away when I opended the parcel. By the way - the dress fits like a second skin! I put it on with my bridesmaids and we could not believe that it really fits, although I ordered it from Germany and never met Rebecca. (My bridesmaids told me in the beginning, that I was crazy ordering my wedding dress in the U.S. without trying it on). The veil matches the dress perfectly and is of the highest quality. Dear Rebecca, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your wonderful work, for your patience, for answering all my questions straightaway, for reassuring me, for sending the lovely photos - and for making my wedding day extraordinary. This dress is my precious and I will treasure it for ever and ever!" -Lena, Germany
"Rebecca could not have done a better job! I ordered this gown from Sweden without ever have seen it in real life. I had my measurements taken by a tailor, and the gown fits perfectly! I can't wait to wear it :) Do not hesitate to contact Rebecca even if you live far from NY, she's doing an amazing job!" -Camilla B., Sweden
"My experience with Rebecca was nothing less than perfect. She replies to all convos very quickly, is easy to work with and produces beautiful work. She worked with me on customizing the evalyn gown into a knee-length, pale pink, low back dress. She mailed me more fabric swatches than I requested, and she finished my dress ahead of the estimated time. Seriously, she has made an otherwise stressful search for a wedding dress into an exciting and easy process. I would recommend her work to anyone. Perfect!!" -Liz, Arkansas
"AMAZING!!!!! Rebecca was absolutely phenomenal and went above and beyond what normal expectations could be. She made this entirely personal and individual to me, and I could not be happier with the final product. I am so happy!" -Laura Beth, Texas

This year was not as beautiful as last year. We didn't have as much rain as last year. I guess that really effects the colors. But we managed to find some nice spots. Some are from Glen Oko Park and the others are from Sand Springs in Hickory Run State Park.
I'm glad I got there when I did because in just a couple of days they were gone. The rain and wind came last night and still are continuing, so there'll be nothing left in another day or two.

Attendees rated IQ264 perceptual quality almost twice that of our internal testing.
EuclidIQ today announced the results of its Visual Challenge, held in mid-May in conjunction with the Streaming Media East 2015 show in New York.
The company's IQ264 compression suite, which has yielded an average of more than 20% gains (bandwidth savings at equivalent quality) in internal subjective testing, does so without impacting video quality.
For each video clip that attendees were asked to assess, EuclidIQ showed a total of four clips: the master clip, one clip encoded with the open source x264 encoder, and two clips encoded with x264 augmented by our IQ264 technology.
"Since the test was double-blind, we knew neither which video would be shown first nor the order of the three clips played for the Visual Challenge participants," said Anne Watelet, Director of Operations.
What were the final results? When averaged out, the IQ264-augmented encodes received higher scores than the reference x264 encodings.
"Visual Challenge participants consistently chose our IQ264 encodings over the reference x264 encodings for both videos," said Watelet.
Visual Challenge scores showed a 20% gain for the second video and a whopping 80% gain for the first video. To compare this to our internal testing, our internal gains were 34% for the second video and 41% for the first video, meaning that the Visual Challenge participants clearly could see the quality difference in our IQ264-augmented encodes.
More details on these results can be found on our blog.

Calan DVS CEO Appointed as National Adviser for Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence
Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews has announced that Calan DVS's CEO, Rhian Bowen-Davies, has been appointed as Wales' first National Adviser for Violence against Women and other forms of Gender-based Violence, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence.
The Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Bill was passed by the Welsh Assembly in March this year, and it then received Royal Assent at the end of April to become an Act.
The Act focuses on improving leadership and accountability across Wales, raising awareness and understanding and improving consistency and quality of service provision. In line with this is the appointment of a National Advisor, the first position of its kind in the UK.
Following her appointment as National Advisor for Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse, and Sexual Violence Rhian said "I'm delighted to have been appointed as Wales' first National Adviser. The Act demonstrates Wales' commitment to tackling all forms of violence against women, gender-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence.
I look forward to taking up this appointment and working with stakeholders and survivors to make a real difference here in Wales."
Calan DVS will be sad to see Rhian leave in September, but everyone here is very proud of what she has achieved both personally and as leader of Calan DVS. Rhian has taken the organisation from strength to strength, and we are sure she will only do the same in this groundbreaking position.
Congratulations Rhian.

HBO and the NFL offered the Falcons the opportunity to be the focal point of the Hard Knocks series in 2012.
And the Falcons have passed.
Albert Breer of NFL Network reports that the Falcons have decided against opening the doors to NFL Films cameras. The decision, per Breer, was made by owner Arthur Blank, G.M. Thomas Dimitroff, and coach Mike Smith. They preferred to focus on football.
Dimitroff comes from the Belichick church of secrecy, but Smith has twice dealt with video/audio intruders during camp, in 2001 with the Ravens and 2004 with the Jaguars.
Plenty of fans weren't interested in having the Falcons placed under the Hard Knocks microscope. The only proper way to follow the Emmy-fountain that the Jets helped create in 2010 would be to get the Jets, Saints, or Broncos/Colts to do it. Teams like the Steelers, Packers, Patriots, and Giants would also generate significant national interest, but the teams that already have a national following have no reason to disrupt their routine.

South Carolina used to be known as the source state but is now known as the drug consumer state. South Carolina has the second largest containerized seaport that has 3 terminals in the United States which is located in the Port of Charleston. According to Friends of Narconon International, substantial amounts of cocaine and marijuana along with meth, illicit drugs and proceeds are being smuggled into the Port of Charleston by mostly Mexican drug traffickers.
According to a study by the League of Women Voters Of the Charleston, South Carolina Area, from 2006-2009, 40 women were charged with unlawful neglect of a child or charged with homicide by child abuse for using drugs while pregnant. In 2008, South Carolina's law enforcement had 34,474 arrests for drugs. In 2009, they had 4,729 people that were in state prisons for drug crimes. What is really disturbing is that every day there are deadly and violent drug crimes being committed and most of them are teenagers who are avenging drug dealings that went bad, protecting their turf or robbing their competitors.
In January of 2008, the Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) at DHEC started to receive prescription reports and by the end of 2009, they had over 18 million prescriptions. Keep in mind that their population that year was only 4,479,800! What does this tell us?
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), reported that in 2009 South Carolina had 31,210 discharges from drug and alcohol detox centers of which 16,952 finished, 4,515 transferred, 5,004 quit, 3,830 were terminated, 362 were incarcerated, 492 were for other reasons and there was 55 fatalities. South Carolina has 89 drug and alcohol detox centers in their state if you or a loved one is looking for help. South Carolina is doing what they can to stop and bring down drugs in their state. The ONDCP has been increasing awareness of drugs and alcohol to their youth and local communities of the kinds of negative outcomes drugs and alcohol cause. They have also increased training to their law enforcement so they can detect drugged drivers. They are involved in helping their local communities by having 11 Drug Free Communities (DFC) Programs and received $77,790,340 in Federal grants to help aid 35 other organizations to educate and inspire their youth and communities on how to prevent and reject drugs and alcohol.
If you have lost faith in 12 step programs or have had a negative experience, there are non-12 step programs available that may be suited for your needs. Before choosing a non-12 step program it is very important that you look into the program(s) you are drawn to in full detail because you want to make sure that they are a legit non-12 step program and because this is one of the most important decisions of your life.

About Grand Exchange Watch
The Grand Exchange Watch is a website dedicated to monitoring and archiving all price data from the RuneScape Grand Exchange.
Why not use the official Grand Exchange?
While the official Grand Exchange – or GE – is definitely useful, the official GE only offers so much information. If you take a look you can only view the current price, the today's price change, along with a few percentages. The current price is almost always enough, but the Grand Exchange Watch – or GEW – offers the ability to view the exact price of items from days, weeks or even months ago.
With access to the item's price history, this enables people to have a better view of what the price of an item will be in the future. Also, people can take a look at how events or other updates have an effect on the RuneScape economy – such as a Bot Nuke.
Who runs this website?
This needs to be made as clear as possible: this website is not owned, operated, or affiliated with Jagex Ltd. – the makers of RuneScape – in any way, shape or form. This is a personal project ran by a RuneScape fanatic who wanted to build a massive database of price history for all items within RuneScape, and here it is!
Stance on the Rules of RuneScape
This topic of interest also needs to be made as clear as possible: this website is not intended to encourage anyone to break any of the rules of RuneScape. I (the website owner and operator) do not condone any such behavior within the realm of RuneScape or on this website.
I cannot stress enough how much I look down upon those that use botting software. It is completely destructive to the entire game, and ruins it for everybody else. Botters wreak havoc on the economy by artificially increasing supply above demand, therefore lowering prices significantly (I say artificially because a real person could not mine, fish, etc. 24/7 365 days a year).
Privacy Policy and Terms of Service
If you haven't yet, please take a look at our privacy policy and terms of service. Just so you know, when you use this website in any way, you automatically agree to those terms of service. I know no one likes to read those things, but trust me, they aren't very long!
I hope you enjoy this website and find it as useful as I have!

Operatic Gesture: Beautiful Madness
"Trying to die convincingly whilst negotiating the least amount of double-chin possible is hard." - O.S.
Through video installation and live performance, this production explores opera's archetypal hysterical woman and the genre's culture of perpetuating the representation as beautiful madness.
Installation: Ottavia's Lament Micki Davis, video artist Leslie Leytham, mezzo-soprano 1/2 video/sound installation, 1/2 live opera Ottavia's Lament, "Disprezzata Regina" from L'incoronazione di Poppea by Claudio Monteverdi will be stripped down to its basic phonemes, building sound worlds around them and pairing them with footage of operatic postures/gestures that have come to convey "hysteria" or "desperation" in female characters.
Opera: Erwartung und Traumverlust by Martin Hiendl Leslie Leytham, mezzo-soprano This opera is based on the short story Kesa and Morito by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, written in 1918 (and later adapted for film by Akiro Kurosawa as Roshomon). The story outlines a fatalistic relationship between Kesa and Morito, who cannot live out their love, leading them to perversity and extreme violation and humiliation. This wordless piece for voice, ensemble and electronics came about through an intensive collaboration process between Leslie Leytham and Martin Hiendl. Through non-verbal utterances, Hiendl forces the singer to explore emotional depths that render the performer physically and psychologically exhausted.
Single tickets for any Glottalopticon performance are $10 - $15 sold at the door or online here: http://operamadness.bpt.me.
Performances starts at 8PM.

Investigators Looking Into India Temple Stampede, 104 Dead
(NEW DELHI) -- Investigators are looking in to what caused a stampede that left at least 104 people dead and 60 injured at a shrine in India. Authorities deny claims of inadequate security at the Hindu shrine of Sabarimala, in the southern province of Kerala.
The stampede happened Friday at the end of a two-month-long ritual, where officials estimate 200,000 people were gathered. Initial reports show a vehicle ran out of control and into the crowd, starting the panic.
In 1999, 50 people died in a similar panic at the same festival. Inadequate security was found to be the cause then, but state and local authorities deny that is the case now.

Saturday, July 5, 2008Soul For Sale
A New Zealand man has put his soul up for auction to the highest bidder, noting that it is "a merry old soul" rather than a "funk soul brother" but that he would "would like to think there is a bit of funk in there somewhere."
Walter Scott, 24, put his soul up for sale on New Zealand Internet auction site TradeMe, and so far has received more than 100 expressions of interest.
Bids in the auction, which was to close Thursday, had reached $189 late Wednesday.
Scott said he had been thinking about selling his soul for ages.
"I can't see it, touch it or feel it, but I can sell it, so I'm going to palm it off to the highest bidder," he said.
It was in "pretty good nick" except for a rough patch six years ago when he reached the legal drinking age, he said.
Advice from a lawyer was that the winning bidder would not be entitled to anything but Scott's soul and would not be able to own or control him in any way, he said.
The successful bidder will receive a framed deed of "soul ownership," Scott said.
TradeMe business manager Michael O'Donnell said the auction complied with the site's rules because a physical object — the deed of ownership — would change hands.
"I think he has entered into the spirit of the (online) community (and) he's also responded to our request to have a physical thing for sale and he's put together a nice looking deed for ownership," O'Donnell said.
"He's answered the questions in a straightforward manner and with humor and personally. I think it's unlikely that anyone's going to be misled by that auction," he told the Stuff Web site.
In 2001, 20-year-old U.S. university student Adam Burtle tried unsuccessfully to sell his soul on auction Web site eBay.
Bidding had reached $400 before the auction was pulled from the site, with the company ruling something tangible needed to swap hands.
Last month an Australian man sold his entire life including his house and a trial at his job after the break up of his five-year marriage for $383,200.

A Competency-based,
Problem-based, and Distance Learning Facilitating Session on Skin and
Soft Tissue Problems for Year Level III Medical Students
of Southwestern University College of Medicine
A Report of an Experience
Reynaldo O. Joson,
MD, MHPEd
From September to October, 1999, I acted as a facilitator for a group of Year Level III medical students of Southwestern University College of Medicine on Skin and Soft Tissue Problems.
I conducted the course using competency-based, problem-based, and distance learning modes and strategies.
On September 24, 1999, I was in Cebu having a face-to-face session with the students. For 4 hours, using the session one of the problem-based learning format, we discussed the overview of skin and soft tissue problems. We ended up with a learning contract on learning issues, learning objectives, study plan, as well as evaluation plan. In essence, we determined what competencies were needed for a primary health care physicians when confronted with problems of skin and soft tissues in individuals as well as in the communities. The needed competencies were incorporated in the learning contract.
One week after, I received through email reports on learning issues. One month after I received also through email reports of overview and hypothetical patient management on specific skin and soft tissue problems. During this time too, I found a good learning resource in the Internet, an atlas of skin diseases hosted by the University of Iowa Department of Dermatology. I transmitted this information to the students and asked them to study the pictures.
On October 20, 1999, I went back to Cebu and gave written objective examination as well as essay-written practical examination.
Although 4 students did not pass the written objective exam, all passed the essay-practical examination. I asked the students to refine their answers in the written practical examination and then submit to me through email. They did. With more weights on the reports and essay practical examinations, all the students passed the course.
The details of the activities are recorded in the following webpages:
I am elated with this experience. So are the students.
This is the first time that we have experienced such a teaching-learning session.
What I need to do now is to refine the course by providing a more comprehensive pretest and posttest questions and more learning resources through the net.
I intend to do more of this kind of teaching-learning in the future.
